STELLA MARIS (director: Marshall Neilan; screenwriter: Frances Marion/novel by Francis J. Locke; cinematographer: Walter Stradling; cast: Mary Pickford (Stella Maris/Unity Blake), Camille Ankewitch (Louise Risca), Conway Tearle (John Risca), Ida Waterman (Lady Blount), Herbert Standing (Sir Oliver Blount), Josephine Crowell (Aunt Gladys Linden); Runtime: 80; Artcraft Films; 1918-silent)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
This tearjerker melodrama proved to be a big hit commercially for the popular silent star Mary Pickford. Mary, who felt she lacked a formal education, studied on her own with the screenwriter Frances Marion, a close female friend, and became interested in the Francis J. Locke novel brought to her attention during one of those tutoring sessions, thinking it would make a great picture. What is unique about the film, is that she plays a dual role, in one part she's the attractive Stella Maris, born paralyzed and unable to walk, who resides in a wealthy London household, shielded from the horrors of the real world by her well-meaning but short-sighted parents, Sir Oliver Blount (Herbert Standing) and Lady Blount (Ida Waterman), who think it best for her not to see how others may suffer. She also gets a chance to show how unattractive she can look in her other role as the unloved orphan Unity Blake, which dismayed the studio boss Adolph Zukor. There is one scene where they both are together, and this was accomplished by the method of double-exposure.
John Risca (Conway Tearle) is a well-known journalist and wealthy friend of Sir Oliver and Lady Blount, and a frequent visitor to see the bed-ridden Stella and her dog Teddy. He has been unhappily married for the last six years to Louise (Camille Ankewitch), a commoner with a nasty disposition due to her drinking problem. Stella is purposefully lied to about John's marital status in order for her to think of everything only in ideal terms. She just thinks the world of him, saying he is her ideal man, and is always playful with him during his visits.
Louise is separated from John because of her drinking problem and needs a servant for the house. She goes to the orphanage and brings Unity into her home. When Louise is drunk and Unity comes home without the groceries she was asked to get, after some kids stole her shopping basket, she severely beats the child up. This results in her getting a three year prison term. To atone for what happened to Unity, John adopts her. He, at first, tries raising her in the Blount's home, but they don't want her there -- they pity her but don't love her. They tell Stella she's the new seamstress and keep them from meeting, afraid that Stella will see how miserable others are. They soon get John to take her away to live with his Aunt Gladys (Josephine Crowell).
Unity falls in love with John because he is kind to her, but realizes she never can be his. But she tries to get an education to please him and help herself. Meanwhile, Stella gets an operation and after three years she can walk again. She visits John and they fall in love, but she still doesn't know that he's married.
Disturbed that he moved out of the 'castle' she was told he lives at, she visits the castle to surprise him, hoping to fix it up so that they can live there when they get married. But she is greeted at the house by Louise, who was just released from prison. Stella is heartbroken at finding out that even John, whom she thought was her ideal man, had lied to her about everything.
Spoiler to follow. Skip to the last paragraph if you don't want to know how the story is resolved.
The film's melodramatic climax results, when Unity decides to repay John for his kindness by killing Louise. Realizing that she can't have him, she writes him a note telling him to get together with Stella. She not only shoots Louise dead but shoots herself, thereby the police think it was a revenge murder.
The film ends on a happy note, as Stella finally realizes that happiness can only come from within and she marries John, not letting Unity's self-sacrifice go to waste.
Undoubtedly, the film is dated, but for its time and the excellent way the film was crafted, it succeeds as a popular soap opera type of vehicle. Though, by having Pickford, "America's Sweetheart," commit a murder, its ethics and reasons for doing so can certainly be questioned, though the happy ending satisfied the public. Many film critics felt that this was the best role that Pickford ever had. Though the film was as heavy as goo, it was not without some passing interest for mainly historical reasons.

An object reference that is independent of any HandleScope
is a persistent reference. Where a Local
handle only lives as long as the HandleScope
in which it was allocated, a Persistent
handle remains valid until it is explicitly disposed.
Due to the evolution of the V8 API, it is necessary for NAN to provide a wrapper implementation of the Persistent
classes to supply compatibility across the V8 versions supported.
Nan::PersistentBase & v8::PersistentBase
Nan::NonCopyablePersistentTraits & v8::NonCopyablePersistentTraits
Nan::CopyablePersistentTraits & v8::CopyablePersistentTraits
Nan::Persistent
Nan::Global
Nan::WeakCallbackInfo
Nan::WeakCallbackType
Also see the V8 Embedders Guide section on Handles and Garbage Collection.
A persistent handle contains a reference to a storage cell in V8 which holds an object value and which is updated by the garbage collector whenever the object is moved. A new storage cell can be created using the constructor or Nan::PersistentBase::Reset()
. Existing handles can be disposed using an argument-less Nan::PersistentBase::Reset()
.
Definition:
(note: this is implemented as Nan::PersistentBase
for older versions of V8 and the native v8::PersistentBase
is used for newer versions of V8)
template<typename T> class PersistentBase {

Default traits for Nan::Persistent
. This class does not allow use of the a copy constructor or assignment operator. At present kResetInDestructor
is not set, but that will change in a future version.

A type of PersistentBase
which allows copy and assignment. Copy, assignment and destructor behavior is controlled by the traits class M
.
Definition:
template<typename T, typename M = NonCopyablePersistentTraits<T> >
class Persistent;
template<typename T, typename M> class Persistent : public PersistentBase<T> {

* flags in the traits class. Since not calling dispose can result in a
* memory leak, it is recommended to always set this flag.
*/
~Persistent();
};
See the V8 documentation for Persistent
for further information.
A type of PersistentBase
which has move semantics.
template<typename T> class Global : public PersistentBase<T> {
public:
/**
* A Global with no storage cell.
*/
Global();
/**
* Construct a Global from a v8::Local. When the v8::Local is non-empty, a new

* set.
*/
template<typename S> Global(const PersistentBase<S> &that);
/**
* Pass allows returning globals from functions, etc.
*/
Global Pass();
};
See the V8 documentation for Global
for further information.
Nan::WeakCallbackInfo
is used as an argument when setting a persistent reference as weak. You may need to free any external resources attached to the object. It is a mirror of v8:WeakCallbackInfo
as found in newer versions of V8.
Definition:
template<typename T> class WeakCallbackInfo {
public:
typedef void (*Callback)(const WeakCallbackInfo<T>& data);
v8::Isolate *GetIsolate() const;
/**
* Get the parameter that was associated with the weak handle.
*/
T *GetParameter() const;
/**
* Get pointer from internal field, index can be 0 or 1.
*/
void *GetInternalField(int index) const;
};
Example usage:
void weakCallback(const WeakCallbackInfo<int> &data) {
int *parameter = data.GetParameter();
delete parameter;
}
Persistent<v8::Object> obj;
int *data = new int(0);
obj.SetWeak(data, callback, WeakCallbackType::kParameter);
See the V8 documentation for WeakCallbackInfo
for further information.
Represents the type of a weak callback.
A weak callback of type kParameter
makes the supplied parameter to Nan::PersistentBase::SetWeak
available through WeakCallbackInfo::GetParameter
.
A weak callback of type kInternalFields
uses up to two internal fields at indices 0 and 1 on the Nan::PersistentBase<v8::Object>
being made weak.
Note that only v8::Object
s and derivatives can have internal fields.
Definition:
enum class WeakCallbackType { kParameter, kInternalFields };

A dark and graduated Bar chart. The colors are black at the bottom of the
bars graduating to blue towards the top. The background grid is customised
too with the horizontal grid-lines having been disabled. Nor are there any
labels. It uses the grow()
effect (as you can see!).
Another thing to note here is the complete lack of any labels. You don't always need to have labels as the meaning may be clear without them - perhaps having a title elsewhere on the page. I wouldn't imagine that these use cases are very common though - with most cases requiring at least a scale in order to make sense.
This goes in the documents header: Put this where you want the graphic to show up:

This is the code that generates the graphic:


--- layout: post title: Accessing the session variable structure tags: [] status: publish type: post published: true meta: {} ---
Following on from the article on clearing your application and session variables article, here I'll focus on accessing the structure in which these variables are stored and outputing their names and values. In essence we will be looping over the structure and display the session variable value and name. Since the information is stored in a structure you will need to set the attributes collection and item of your <cfloop> tag, where the collection you are accessing is called session (or application if you wanted to look at that structure). The variable in item, is set to i, this is what we are going to output. The page would look as follows.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Displaying all session variables</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfloop collection="#session#" item="i">
<cfoutput>#i# - #session[i]#<br /></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</body>
</html>
In the output i will represent the session variable name and the array syntax (#session[i]#) will output the actual value of the session variable. There you go all set now you easily see what values have been set for your session variables.

Installation tips¶
Before installation
- With your development team, plan where you will place your asset root and publish root.
- Make sure you have enough disk space in your resource locations to build and publish your databases.
- Do not use a portable USB disk for the asset root or publish root because they are prone to I/O errors when reading or writing to the drive.
- Disable any auxiliary security, such as sudo blocks or sticky bits, before you install and use GEE.
- To install and administer GEE, log in as root or create a profile with root-level privileges.
- Create a user-level profile for using Fusion and publishing to the GEE Server.
During installation
- Make sure that you run both the Fusion and GEE Server installers, and that both are at the same version number.
- When prompted during installation, choose Upgrade your asset root. This ensures that the resources will work with the version you are installing.
- The GEE Server installer allows you to customize users and groups. Most use cases do not require user and group customizations – for your initial installation, use the default settings.
After installation
- After installing, switch over to your user profile; i.e.,
geeuser
. Publishing or building resources under the root profile can create various permissions issues that will cause further issues later. - Go to
/opt/google/share/support
, copy theGEEcheck
folder to your system’s/tmp/
folder, and then run theGEEcheck
diagnostic script on your system. Review the output.txt
file for any post-install errors. - Do not modify the
default_ge
,default_map
, ordefault_search
stream servers. If you need to change a configuration for a virtual server, create a new one from the example files at/opt/google/share/gehttp/examples
. - Complete the GEE tutorial and create the sample database for testing. It is fast to create, process, publish, and modify. If you plan to enable authentication on your installation, first make sure that everything is installed correctly by using the tutorial database. After you have verified the functionality of the entire suite (Fusion, GEE Server, and client) using the tutorial settings, enabling authentication should go smoothly.
- GEE Server is designed to have direct communications to the client. DNS must be configured correctly for it to send data and receive requests. If you are using a DNS configuration that entails an Internal/External designation for the same GEE machine, test with the internal configuration to ensure all aspects are functioning correctly, and then add external addressing settings.
- If you have chosen to automatically start daemons after installation, you should see the services starting up and you will be returned to the command prompt. If there is an error, contact GEE Support.

TIME-LINE
of HISTORICAL EVENTS
A study of history seldom provides insight
into the daily life of the common man of the period. Recorded history is frequently
the compilation of facts and events that have occurred. However, these facts
and events frequently are the things that guide and bound the lives of the
people of the period. Having knowledge of the history of an area and a period
provides a stage on which we can better view and understand the people.
The time-line that follows is an attempt to
provide the stage for viewing our ancestors and their lives over the past 250
or so years. Use it as a 'yardstick' of time to understand what important historical
events were taking place.
Pre-Ice Age - Evidence
of the existence of man in Ohio
prior to the glacial period is abundant. Earthworks built by the "Mound
Building Indians" are found in many parts of Ohio. These earthworks are remnants of three
early mound building groups: (1) the Fort
Ancients, (2) the Adenas and (3) the Hopewells.
Serpent Mound in Adams County; Fort
Ancient in Warren
County; Fort Hill in Highland County;
and the Newark Earthworks in Licking
County are major examples
of these mound builder's existence. The largest mound
in the State, at Miamisburg,
is 68 feet in height and 800 feet in circumference.
The mound builders had vanished long before
European traders entered the territory. The Indians claiming the land had no
knowledge of the mound builders or their culture.
1492 - Columbus >discovered the Americas= by landing in the Caribbean Islands.
1502 - First African slaves arrive in Americas (in the Caribbean Islands)
1570 - Shakespeare began to write
1590 - First microscope built
About 1600 - The principal Ohio Indian Tribes were: the Miami, the Shawnee, the Delaware, the Wyandot (Huron), the Ottawa of the Algonquin tribe, and the Mingo
(Seneca) of the Iroquois Nation. The Miami tribe
was the first of these tribes to actually reside in Ohio, coming in the late 1660's.
The Indians' claim to Ohio lands rested upon conquest and
possession. They did not claim ownership of the land, as the white men did.
Rather, they claimed the right to use the land for various purposes. Therefore,
different boundaries existed for hunting, fishing, farming and villages. These
overlaps of claims often led to wars among the various tribes.
1608 - First successful French settlement by Samuel de
Champlain at Quebec
1619 - First African slaves arrive in Virginia
1620 - Pilgrims landed near Cape Cod.
1621 - First Thanksgiving Day
1624 - Dutch found New Amsterdam (now New
York City) and buy Manhattan
Island
1633 - Galileo, an Italian professor and scientist claimed
that the Earth and planets circled around the Sun. He was sentenced by the
Catholic Church to imprisonment for life for his beliefs.
1633 - A mass trial of witches in Lancashire, England
1670 - The first
exploration by Europeans, in what is now Ohio,
was made by the French. Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, explored the lake area in late 1669 or
early 1670, thus claiming all of Ohio for France.
1691 - Witchcraft trials
take place in Salem, Massachusetts.
1763 - The French assigned the "Great West" to the
English on February 10, 1763 at the Treaty of Paris, was the result of the French losing the French and
Indian War, 1755-1763.
1778 - A Congressional Committee proposed that states cede
its Western lands to the New Central Government. The states of Virginia, New
York, Connecticut and Massachusetts all claimed portions of the territory
northwest of the Ohio River, based upon charters granted by the kings of
England. After much controversy and compromise, these states relinquished their
claims. The dates of these cessions were: New York,

.
Here is an example of making a b2 configuration. First run
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process. You will need your account number (a short hex number) and key (a long hex number) which you can get from the b2 control panel.

This remote is called remote
and can now be used like this
See all buckets
rclone lsd remote:
Make a new bucket
rclone mkdir remote:bucket
List the contents of a bucket
rclone ls remote:bucket
Sync /home/local/directory
to the remote bucket, deleting any
excess files in the bucket.
rclone sync /home/local/directory remote:bucket
The modified time is stored as metadata on the object as
X-Bz-Info-src_last_modified_millis
as milliseconds since 1970-01-01
in the Backblaze standard. Other tools should be able to use this as
a modified time.
Modified times are used in syncing and are fully supported except in the case of updating a modification time on an existing object. In this case the object will be uploaded again as B2 doesn’t have an API method to set the modification time independent of doing an upload.
The SHA1 checksums of the files are checked on upload and download and will be used in the syncing process.
Large files which are uploaded in chunks will store their SHA1 on the
object as X-Bz-Info-large_file_sha1
as recommended by Backblaze.
Backblaze recommends that you do lots of transfers simultaneously for
maximum speed. In tests from my SSD equiped laptop the optimum
setting is about --transfers 32
though higher numbers may be used
for a slight speed improvement. The optimum number for you may vary
depending on your hardware, how big the files are, how much you want
to load your computer, etc. The default of --transfers 4
is
definitely too low for Backblaze B2 though.
Note that uploading big files (bigger than 200 MB by default) will use
a 96 MB RAM buffer by default. There can be at most --transfers
of
these in use at any moment, so this sets the upper limit on the memory
used.
When rclone uploads a new version of a file it creates a new version of it. Likewise when you delete a file, the old version will still be available.
Old versions of files are visible using the --b2-versions
flag.
If you wish to remove all the old versions then you can use the
rclone cleanup remote:bucket
command which will delete all the old
versions of files, leaving the current ones intact. You can also
supply a path and only old versions under that path will be deleted,
eg rclone cleanup remote:bucket/path/to/stuff
.
When you purge
a bucket, the current and the old versions will be
deleted then the bucket will be deleted.
However delete
will cause the current versions of the files to
become hidden old versions.
Here is a session showing the listing and and retreival of an old
version followed by a cleanup
of the old versions.
Show current version and all the versions with --b2-versions
flag.
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt
Retreive an old verson
$ rclone -q --b2-versions copy b2:cleanup-test/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt /tmp
$ ls -l /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ncw ncw 16 Jul 2 17:46 /tmp/one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
Clean up all the old versions and show that they’ve gone.
$ rclone -q cleanup b2:cleanup-test
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
Here are the command line options specific to this cloud storage system.
When uploading large files chunk the file into this size. Note that
these chunks are buffered in memory and there might a maximum of
--transfers
chunks in progress at once. 100,000,000 Bytes is the
minimim size (default 96M).
Cutoff for switching to chunked upload (default 190.735 MiB == 200
MB). Files above this size will be uploaded in chunks of
--b2-chunk-size
.
This value should be set no larger than 4.657GiB (== 5GB) as this is the largest file size that can be uploaded.
This is for debugging purposes only.
Setting FLAG to one of the strings below will cause b2 to return specific errors for debugging purposes.
fail_some_uploads
expire_some_account_authorization_tokens
force_cap_exceeded
These will be set in the X-Bz-Test-Mode
header which is documented
in the b2 integrations
checklist.
When set rclone will show and act on older versions of files. For example
Listing without --b2-versions
$ rclone -q ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
And with
$ rclone -q --b2-versions ls b2:cleanup-test
9 one.txt
8 one-v2016-07-04-141032-000.txt
16 one-v2016-07-04-141003-000.txt
15 one-v2016-07-02-155621-000.txt
Showing that the current version is unchanged but older versions can be seen. These have the UTC date that they were uploaded to the server to the nearest millisecond appended to them.
Note that when using --b2-versions
no file write operations are
permitted, so you can’t upload files or delete them.

Mapbox
A provider of online maps and contributor to many popular online mapping libraries and applications.
Mapbox offers commercial mapping services. Many of them use OpenStreetMap data and involve large open-source efforts. Mapbox is a main contributor to the Mapnik renderer project, they helped create the web editor iD and they created Tilemill, the software used to design the OpenStreetMap map style. (from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapbox)
Mapbox was created as a part of Development Seed in order to offer map customization for non-profit customers, in 2010. It was bootstrapped until a 2013 $10M funding round by Foundry Group. Early work on OpenStreetMap tools, including the iD editor, was funded by a $575,000 grant from the Knight Foundation. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mapbox)


--- permalink: /INRV/ excerpt: "INR-V: A Continuous Representation Space for Video-based Generative Tasks" author_profile: false ---
Generating videos is a complex task that is accomplished by generating a set of temporally coherent images frame-by-frame. This limits the expressivity of videos to only image-based operations on the individual video frames needing network designs to obtain temporally coherent trajectories in the underlying image space. We propose INR-V, a video representation network that learns a continuous space for video-based generative tasks. INR-V parameterizes videos using implicit neural representations (INRs), a multi-layered perceptron that predicts an RGB value for each input pixel location of the video. The INR is predicted using a meta-network which is a hypernetwork trained on neural representations of multiple video instances. Later, the meta-network can be sampled to generate diverse novel videos enabling many downstream video-based generative tasks. Interestingly, we find that conditional regularization and progressive weight initialization play a crucial role in obtaining INR-V. The representation space learned by INR-V is more expressive than an image space showcasing many interesting properties not possible with the existing works. For instance, INR-V can smoothly interpolate intermediate videos between known video instances (such as intermediate identities, expressions, and poses in face videos). It can also in-paint missing portions in videos to recover temporally coherent full videos. In this work, we evaluate the space learned by INR-V on diverse generative tasks such as video interpolation, novel video generation, video inversion, and video inpainting against the existing baselines. INR-V significantly outperforms the baselines on several of these demonstrated tasks, clearly showing the potential of the proposed representation space.
We parameterize videos as a function of space and time using implicit neural representations (INRs). Any point in a video Vhwt can be represented by a function fΘ→ RGBhwt where t denotes the tth frame in the video and h, w denote the spatial location in the frame, and RGB denotes the color at the pixel position {h, w, t}. Subsequently, the dynamic dimension of videos (a few million pixels) is reduced to a constant number of weights Θ (a few thousand) required for the parameterization. A network can then be used to learn a prior over videos in this parameterized space. This can be obtained through a meta-network that learns a function to map from a latent space to a reduced parameter space that maps to a video. A complete video is thus represented as a single latent point. We use a meta-network called hypernetworks that learns a continuous function over the INRs by getting trained on multiple video instances using a distance loss. However, hypernetworks are notoriously unstable to train, especially on the parameterization of highly expressive signals like videos. Thus, we propose key prior regularization and a progressive weight initialization scheme to stabilize the hypernetwork training allowing it to scale quickly to more than 30,000 videos. The learned prior enables several downstream tasks such as novel video generation, video inversion, future segment prediction, video inpainting, and smooth video interpolation directly at the video level.

This article was originally published in Issue 23 of the MagPi magazine. Since the first publication, the installation instructions have been updated to the latest Raspbian version and are now present in a separate file. Instructions to describe how to create desktop icons have also been added.
The BrickPi provides an interface between LEGO® MINDSTORMS® motors and sensors and the Raspberry Pi. The board has five sensor ports and four motor ports. The Raspberry Pi communicates with the BrickPi over the serial port (UART), which is available via pins 8 and 10 of the 40 (or 26) pin header of the Raspberry Pi: http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals
The BrickPi is able to read both the sensors and the motor encoder values, providing a simple interface to a range of MINDSTORMS® based projects. More details of the BrickPi are given in Issues 17 and 18 of The MagPi.
A local school decided to buy several BrickPi boards for their engineering course. After a few tests, it was clear that a new Scratch driver was needed to allow the BrickPi to be used within the course material. To allow other Raspberry Pi GPIO connections to be used, and provide easy configuration of the BrickPi, RpiScratchIO was chosen as the basis of the Scratch interface. More information on RpiScratchIO can be found in Issues 20 and 22 of The MagPi and at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/RpiScratchIO/
These installation instructions start from the most recent Raspbian image that can be downloaded from the Raspberry Pi web site: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
The BrickPi Python and Scratch interfaces are available as a Python module. Follow the instructions given in INSTALL.txt to install the Python modules, their dependencies and configure the serial port ready to talk to the BrickPi. Then reboot the Raspberry Pi.
Follow the instructions given at http://www.dexterindustries.com/BrickPi/projects/tank/ to build a tracked vehicle. Then put the BrickPi on top and connect the right motor to BrickPi port MA and the left motor to BrickPi port MB. Finally, add a forward-facing ultrasonic sensor and connect it to BrickPi sensor port S1. The BrickPi port labelling is given in The MagPi Issue 18 article on the BrickPi.
The BrickPi has to be appropriately configured for each different LEGO® sensor. Create a new file called tank.cfg that contains the following definitions: Now open Scratch and enable remote sensor connections, by selecting the "Sensing" palette and right clicking on "sensor value" at the bottom of the tool palette. (For the current Raspbian version of Scratch, the remote sensor connections need to be disabled and then re-enabled.) Now start RpiScratchIO by typing:
RpiScratchIO tank.cfg
This creates new Scratch sensors with names within the ranges LEGO:0-LEGO:3, LEGO:10-LEGO:13 and LEGO:20-LEGO:23, where LEGO:0-LEGO:3 are the sensor ports S1-S4, LEGO:10-LEGO:13 correspond to the values written to the four motor ports MA-MB and LEGO:20-LEGO:23 are the motor encoders for MA-MB. The sensor (S1-S4) and the motor encoder (MA-MB) values can be updated in Scratch by broadcasting read commands. For example,
LEGO:read:0
transfers the current S1 value into the Scratch sensor LEGO:0. The motor speed can be changed by broadcasting a write command,
LEGO:write:10,255
where this sets the motor connected to MA to run forwards at full speed. To stop the motor attached to MA, use Scratch to broadcast:
LEGO:write:10,0
If a sensor channel is used that has not been configured in the configuration file, then a warning is reported. To update the sensors that are active in Scratch, exit RpiScratchIO by typing CTRL-C, edit the RpiScratchIO configuration file and then restart RpiScratchIO as before.
The BrickPiScratch interface can be easily used to control the position of the tank, using the keyboard. In this example, a simple top view of a tank was used as the main sprite. Then two sprites were made, one for each track of the vehicle. The main sprite was then linked to the ultrasonic sensor and each track was linked to a motor. The main sprite program, sends a read command to read the ultrasonic sensors, waits for half a second and then prints the value of the sensor. The value of the sensor is also used to change the costume of the main sprite, to indicate if there is an object close by.
The program for the left motor,
sets the motor to run forward when the A key is held down. When the key is released, the motor stops. To make the motor go backwards, the Z key should be held down. When the motor is running forwards or backwards, the track sprite colour changes to show that the motor is running. The right track program is the same, but with the D and X keys and the motor channel 10.
To understand the limits of the Scratch driver, it is helpful to know what is happening within the driver and the BrickPi itself. The BrickPi Scratch diver is written in Python and communicates between Scratch and the BrickPi. If the Scratch driver sent the BrickPi a single motor controller command, the BrickPi would run the associated motor for about one second and then stop. This design choice was make in the Brick itself to prevent run-away robots. To make Scratch programs more efficient and simpler, the Scratch driver starts a data acquisition loop with the BrickPi that runs every tenth of a second. This loop sends the current motor values to the BrickPi and retrieves the current sensor values for the sensors that are enabled in the configuration file. The current values for the sensors and motor encoders are stored in the BrickPi Scratch driver. In this manner, the Scratch code can send a single value to the scratch driver and see quick updates of motor values.
Scratch running on a Raspberry Pi cannot receive sensor updates faster than approximately half a second. While requesting a value and then receiving it completely decouples Scratch from the fast data acquisition loop inside the Scratch driver, it also uses more processor time. This is a good choice for monitoring long term changes, but does not work well for autonomous projects.
To reach the limit of Scratch I/O and performance, the BrickPi Scratch driver can be used to send regular sensor updates to Scratch. This has two implications: (1) reduced number of broadcast messages and (2) the ability to trigger Scratch from the automatic readout. Both of these changes ensure that the Scratch communication is as efficient as possible.
A human controlled vehicle is amusing, but a true robot should be able to function on its own. To make decisions, the sensor updates within Scratch have to be as fast as possible. This can be achieved by turning on the automatic update mechanism in the BrickPi Scratch driver. Copy the tank.cfg file and rename it as autoTank.cfg. Then change
BrickPiScratch()
to
BrickPiScratch(0,"s")
The number zero is the period of the automatic update in units of tenths of a second, where zero disables the automatic update of sensor values. The value "s" configures all active sensors to be automatically updated. Other options are given at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/BrickPi
Close the previous Scratch window and open a new one. Set up the remote sensor connections as before. Then type:
RpiScratchIO autoTank.cfg
This time the Scratch setup contains only one sprite. The program for the sprite is given below and on the next page. When the green flag is clicked, the tank changes its costume to indicate that the automatic sensor update loop is running. The local ("For this sprite only") variable US and global ("For all sprites") variables LEGO:10 and LEGO:11 are all set to zero. Then the config:period,5 command is sent to start the automatic updates, which then run once every half a second.
Each time the sensors are automatically updated, a LEGO:trig message is sent to Scratch. The LEGO:trig message is used to run the three sections that follow, where the first section stores the sensor value in the US variable and the other two sections control the two motors. When the LEGO:10 or LEGO:11 values are updated, they are automatically sent to the BrickPi channels MA and MB respectively.
The last section is only run when the Q key is pressed on the keyboard, which stops the automatic updates. The program then waits, in case one motor command is still being processed. Then the costume is set back to normal and both motors are stopped.
Try pointing the robot at a smooth wall and clicking on the green flag. When the wall is far away, the motors will run at high speed.

Next: Relation between component values NIL and ->UNSPECIFIC, Previous: ->WILD as a Component Value, Up: Interpreting Pathname Component Values
If :unspecific is the value of a pathname component, the component is considered to be "absent" or to "have no meaning" in the filename being represented by the pathname.
Whether a value of :unspecific is permitted for any component on any given file system accessible to the implementation is implementation-defined. A conforming program must never unconditionally use a :unspecific as the value of a pathname component because such a value is not guaranteed to be permissible in all implementations. However, a conforming program can, if it is careful, successfully manipulate user-supplied data which contains or refers to non-portable pathname components. And certainly a conforming program should be prepared for the possibility that any components of a pathname could be :unspecific.
When reading_1 the value of any pathname component, conforming programs should be prepared for the value to be :unspecific.
When writing_1 the value of any pathname component, the consequences are undefined if :unspecific is given for a pathname in a file system for which it does not make sense.

GeneCup is a tool to efficiently and comprehensively answer the question "What do we know about these genes and the topic I study?". GeneCup answers this question by searching PubMed to find sentences containing gene symbols and a custom list of keywords. These keywords are organized into a user defined ontology, which groups related keywords together for better organization of the results. Human GWAS findings from NHGRI-EBI GWAS catalog are also included in the search. These gene-keyword relationships are presented as an interactive graph and a table. As an example, we present a curated ontology for drug addiction with over 300 keywords organized into seven categories. Furthermore, deep learning is used to distinguish automatically the sentences describing systemic stress from those describing cellular stress. A user account (free) is needed to create custom ontologies and save the search results.
Example: Rgma Penk.
{%if ("name" not in session) %} By default, the addiction ontology is used. Custom ontologies can be created in user accounts. Please choose keyword categories to be included in the search. {% else %} Welcome back, {{session['name']}}. Your previous searches and custom ontologies are available from the links.

Old Faithful reaches a height between 106 and 180 feet. Eruptions last from one to five minutes, and erupts every hour and a half, give or take ten minutes. Old Faithful expels 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of water around 203 degrees during every eruption. It is one of the more famous parts of the park and people come from all over the world to see Old Faithful erupt.
Old Faithful Inn is a historic lodge located near the famous geyser. With accommodations throughout the summer you can stay close to the geyser and see it erupt throughout the day and night, with some rooms having a geyser view. Built in 1903-1904, the lodge has 327 rooms, and was built from logs and stones from the surrounding area. Rich in history and considered the largest log structure in the world, the beautiful lodge is the perfect place to stay during your visit to the park.


Chimichanga
Essentially, just a fried burrito. Use whatever your favorite filling is.
- ⏲ Prep time: 120min
- 🍳 Cook time: 30 min
- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- taco-meat
- 1 Onion
- Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Bell Pepper
- Burrito sized tortilla
- Plain Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
- Any other vegetables you want
- Shredded cheese of choice (Optional)
Directions
- Dice peppers, tomatoes, and onions and saute
- Add in meat. Season and cook until browned or fully cooked through
- Warm your tortilla and place small layer of yogurt, cheese, and filling on the bottom half of the tortilla
- Wrap by folding bottom over filling, folding sides in, and then rolling.
- Fry using your preferred method (info on a couple of methods below)
Frying
- My preferred method to frying is air frying, place into air fryer and set for about 10 minutes. Just as crunchy with practically no grease from oil
- For oil frying, I’ve found using just a film of oil and flipping on to the sides works well with more time.

Soda Can Router Project
-
Description
I have seen some youtube videos that claim that wrapping a cut open soda can around the antenna of a wireless router can increase your internet speed. I would like to perform an experiment to analyze this claim and track the speed for a router with and without the soda can. -
What I Need
- Wireless router
- Laptop or tablet with WiFi connection
-
Why I Need It
I like to take things apart and see how parts work. My parents have a router, but they won't allow me to use it for my experiments because they are afraid I'm going to disassemble the equipment and not be able to put it back together again. We are on a very limited budget, so I'm wondering if anyone has a spare router that I can play around with. I also took apart my last laptop that my parents gave me, but I messed it up while playing around with the wifi connection device inside. I am need of a spare laptop for this experiment too. I don't need anything fancy, just something with a wifi connection. -

Three dead after Oklahoma Walmart shooting: police
by Rebecca KlarThree people including a suspect are dead after a shooting at a Walmart in Duncan, Okla., police confirmed to The Duncan Banner.
District Attorney Jason Hicks told the newspaper that the scene is contained and is no longer an active shooter situation.
Police scanner calls at around 9:45 a.m. local time indicated a shooter at the Walmart, the Banner reported.
Duncan Public Schools are also on lockdown, the newspaper added.
A spokesperson for the Duncan Police Department was not immediately available for comment.
Oklahoma’s new permit-less carry law, which went into effect earlier this month, reportedly allows most residents over 21 to carry concealed or unconcealed firearms without a license.

Custom Bindings¶
Extend the Form Bindings (Prefilling) with your own custom xDB facets or even with an entirely different source like an ERP system.
Add a custom binding source¶
Create BindingHandler¶
To add a custom binding source, you should write a IBindingHandler interface.
namespace Feature.FormsExtensions.Business.FieldBindings
{
public interface IBindingHandler
{
IBindingHandlerResult GetBindingValue();
void StoreBindingValue(object newValue);
}
}
The GetBindingValue should return a IBindingHandlerResult.
An example implementation could be like:
namespace Feature.FormsExtensions.Business.FieldBindings
{
public class DemoBindingHandler : IBindingHandler
{
public IBindingHandlerResult GetBindingValue()
{
var fullName = Sitecore.Context.User.Profile.FullName;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullName))
{
return new NoBindingValueFoundResult();
}
return new BindingValueFoundResult(fullName);
}
public void StoreBindingValue(object newValue)
{
if (newValue is string fullName)
{
Sitecore.Context.User.Profile.FullName = fullName;
}
}
}
}
The storebindingvalue is only called when the newValue is not null.
Register BindingHandler¶
To register the bindinghandler(s) you have created, you must create a processor.
public class DemoBindingHandlerLoader : MvcPipelineProcessor<LoadFieldBindingHandlersArgs>
{
public override void Process(LoadFieldBindingHandlersArgs args)
{
var tokenKey = new FieldBindingTokenKey("My Custom Handlers","x.y.z.customhandler","Custom Handler");
args.FieldBindingHandlers.Add(tokenKey,new DemoBindingHandler());
}
}
- The tokenkey consists of 3 parameters:
- Category: this will group the handlers in the sitecore forms user interface
- Id: a unique id for your handler (this can be anything)
- Name: the name of the handler that will be shown to the user
Once forms are created with your custom handler, you should not change the id anymore. The category and name can be safely changed as they are not stored on the form components.
Add the BindingHandlerLoader to the loader pipeline¶
Create a config file to add your loader to the forms.loadFieldBindingHandlers pipeline.
<configuration>
<sitecore>
<pipelines>
<forms.loadFieldBindingHandlers>
<processor type="mypackage.DemoBindingHandlerLoader , mydll" resolve="true" />
</forms.loadFieldBindingHandlers>
</pipelines>
</sitecore>
</configuration>
Configure preferred email, address and phonenumber¶
The module comes with a set of databinding handlers to support xDB. The email, address and phonenumber facet on the contact profile contain a lists. There is always one preferred entry in the list.
The build in bindings always store and load from the preferred email, address or phonenumber.
If the facet does not yet exist, it has to create the facet and set the preferred email, address or phonenumber. The key that is used for this is stored in a sitecore setting. These settings can be overridden to fit your projects needs.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/">
<sitecore>
<settings>
<setting name="XDbPreferredAddress" value="address" />
<setting name="XDbPreferredPhoneNumber" value="phone" />
<setting name="XDbPreferredEmailAddress" value="email" />
</settings>

Blood transfusion services have gained significant importance and momentum in view of HIV infection. The efficacy of transmission of HIV through blood and blood products is 100% and screening of the blood for HIV can eliminate this mode of transmission to a large extent.
There are also other diseases which can be transmitted through blood which can be addressed as Transfusion Transmitted Diseases (T.T.D) They are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Malaria, Syphilis.
The ultimate aim of blood banks and transfusion services is to provide safe blood.Blood can be made safe by the following ways:
->Collection of blood from healthy persons absolutely on voluntary donation,
->Adoption of good manufacturing practices: Screening of blood for T D D.using highly sensitive and specific tests,
->Practicing rational use of blood: This needs better emphasis, so that unnecessary transfusion is avoided. A single unit transfusion needs to be stopped, and to encourage use of blood components, Autologous transfusion in cold planned cases.
Blood Banks need to concentrate basically on collection of blood from healthy individuals. This can be done by meticulous selection of donors and by encouraging voluntary donation.
In a historical judgment Supreme Court of India, banned buying and selling of blood with effect from 1st January 98. Hence it is imperative to make available safe blood. As a result voluntary donation of blood should be promoted in the community.
The efforts are in progress to improve the percentage of voluntary blood donation in the State. By the end of December 1998, blood collection by voluntary donation has improved to 46% from 38% in 1997.
To achieve 100% voluntary donation by 2010 A.D. it is necessary to prepare an action plan and make concerted efforts by the health administrators as well as by the community. There is a need for long programming so that voluntary blood donation becomes a public movement and life style of the younger generation.
Thus there is a need for launching an Intensive voluntary blood donation campaign in the state.
The action plan comprises of mass as well as person to person communication to improve the knowledge, attitude and behavioural practices regarding blood donation.
To make voluntary blood donation programme as people’s movement, it is essential to give wide publicity of this activity through all available mass media channels such as Newspapers, T.V, City cable channels, Radio etc. so that the Importance of blood donations, requirement of blood, collection from voluntary donors and transfusion transmitted diseases and the use of safe blood is understood by the people. The messages related to this, should be highlighted in the local languages on Radio, T.V. and through Print media. The celebreties from film, sports, political field and renowned social workers need to be involved to trigger the messages to the community through T.V. spots. These messages be released throughout the year.
(i). SLOGANS ON BLOOD DONATION
This is one of the methods of mass communication. The slogans like "Rakthdaan jeevandaan" ( hindi for give blood, give life) may be displayed or painted on the prominent places in bold red letter with yellow background ( size 1 x 2 meters) The paintings should attract the readers, specially youths.
(ii).  It is observed that during intermission 50% of the people are present in the hall. The display of cine slides, with triggering messages on blood donation will definitely motivate people for voluntary donation. This can be a routine activity round the year. Special request can be made to the managers for exhibiting the slides before starting the movie for which a letter can be sent from District Collector to the President of the Theaters’ Association.
For the Involvement of prospective donors it is necessary to sensitise High Schools & Jr. College students with the help of High School and College students rallies, marathon and bicycle races can be organised on special days. The cooperation of the sports officers can be sought. Before starting the rallies a lecture on blood donation and its importance can be told to the students. Blood grouping of the students also can be done. The list of participants alongwith their blood group can be retained and used as prospective donors.
Youth forms an important core group. 95% of the blood collected in camps are through college students and hardly 5% of blood collected is used for them. Every college has NSS and NCC units. Regular activities related to voluntary blood donation can be organized through them. They can work as volunteers, organisers and blood donors. Thus they can be real civil soldiers of the Nation.
Handouts covering social & technical details on blood donation, (AIDS, STDs) can be printed and distributed at the time blood donation or blood grouping camps or at the time of other motivational activities. The information in the handouts should be precise and group specific. The distribution of handbills should be done meticulously. It is observed that 40% of the receivers read the message when it is precise and informative.

For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in. |

Recently, our paper on reconstructing and analyzing the structure and function of ecological networks in Ancient Egypt (published in PNAS this past September), recieved two letters to the editor. One letter was written by Dr. Linda Evans, an Egyptologist studying the roles of animals in ancient Egypt, and one was by a research team at the University of Haifa, Israel.
The second letter, by Bar-Oz et al., was not a criticism, mentioning that they have found similar patterns of extinction in paleontological sites in the Levant. One of the primary differences in the Levant is that the large aridification shifts documented in Egypt were not nearly as pronounced, suggesting that alternative mechanisms may have been responsible for animal extinctions. They note that the most likely mechanisms are human-driven. In our analysis of the Egyptian fauna, we can’t distinguish between different potential drivers of change, though the largest changes to the mammalian community co-occur with large aridification events. Certainly, impacts to the mammalian community during these events may also have been driven by humans, perhaps exaggerated by changes in climate.
The letter by Dr. Evans was more critical, and brought up some important points. The primary concern that Dr. Evans raised was that changes to the mammalian community - as depicted in artwork - could have been the result of cultural forces, and may not accurately represent which species were around, and when. This is certainly a valid criticism. One of my favorite examples of this is the California state flag, which depicts a grizzly bear, even though there are no longer grizzly bears in California (sadly). Because we were using artwork to reconstruct animal occurrance, this was a potential issue that we had expected going into the project. To deal with potential cultural bias – or even errors due to preservational bias – we injected a large amount of uncertainty with regard to the timing of species extinctions into our analysis. Importantly, this added uncertainty did not have a significant influence on our results.
