How to set OKRs
Source:
ElegantHack
It describes how to set OKRs at company level. First of all, It involves
taking a hard look at your company, and it involves having a ton of
difficult conversations about making choices about where the company
should go
Before the meeting
-
Few days before the meeting, solicit all the employees to submit the
Objective they think the company should focus on
- Give a very small window to do it: 24 hours should be ok.
-
Someone should collect and bring forward the best & most popular
objectives
-
Set aside 4.5 hours: 2 sessions with 30 minute break
- Goal: Cancel the second session. Stay focused
- Each exec should 1 or 2 objective to bring to the meeting
- Have the best employee objectives written down in Post-It notes.
At the meeting
The meeting must be run with execs
- Keep the meeting small: less than 10 people
- It must include Sr. executive team
- Take away phones and computers
-
Place the post-its up on the wall.
- Combine duplicates
-
Look for patterns that suggest people are worried about a particular
goal.
- Combine similar Objectives.
- Stack rank them.
- Finally, narrow them down to three.
- Discuss. Debate. Fight. Stack rank. Pick.
-
All the members of the exec team have to freelist as many metrics as
they can think of to measure the Objective.
- Freelisting is a Design Thinking technique.
-
It means to simple write down as many ideas on a topic as you can
- One per post-it
- Give the team 10 minutes
-
Affinity map of the metrics
- It is a Design Thinking technique
- All it means is you group post-its with like post-its.
-
e.g If two people both write DAU (Daily Active Users), you can put
those on top of each other.
-
Dau, Mau, Wau are all engagement metrics: you can put them next
to each other.
-
You can pick your three types of metrics.
-
Write KRs as: “X first”,
- i.e. “X revenue” or “X acquisitions” or “X DAU” .
-
It’s easier to first discuss 1)what to
measure, 2)what the value should be and
3) if it’s really a “shoot for the moon”
goal.
-
Take a usage metric,
revenue metric,
satisfaction metric
-
Set the values of KRs
- Make sure that they are “shoot for the moon”.
- Confidence level at 50%
-
Challenge each other:
- Is someone sandbagging?
- Is someone playing safe?
- Is someone foolhardy?
-
Now, it is time for debate and not halfway through the quarter.
-
Take 5 minute to discuss the final OKR
- Is it the Objective aspirational and inspirational?
- Do the KRs make sense?
- Are they hard?
- Can you live with this for a full quarter?


Point-of-sale solutions & services to empower restaurant profitability
Wireless Ordering and Payment Processing are Now on the Menu.
Orderman - the first radio ordering system specifically developed for the hospitality industry - has revolutionized the market. Orderman is the original. Since 1992, the system has been at the forefront of trends and innovations in hand-held solutions for stadiums, bars and nightclubs, restaurants, cafes and quick service establishments.
No other manufacturer has more experience.
No one else has sold more units. With good reason!
Everything you need to know about NCR Orderman in a nutshell:
NCR Orderman7, our top-of-the-line handheld ordering device. Benefit from the latest technical features, which make radio ordering quick, reliable and user-friendly. With an extremely long operating time of up to 18 hours, the unit sets new benchmarks, for instance, with its bright 5” display, high-quality material, unrivaled strength and ease of use (shock-resistant and water-tight). The user friendly touch-screen that can be operated by finger or using a touch pen.
Radio ordering: Profit from our system.
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from using a radio ordering system. Efficiency and customer satisfaction increase, pay- and print-at-the-table functionality eliminates credit card security concerns, and overall more effective business processes lead to healthier, more robust businesses.
A radio ordering system is most effective where used to divide tasks between the sales and service personnel. In practice, this means that the sales specialists can stay with the guests, placing orders and taking payments – in short, keeping a firm grip on their field of responsibility at all times. They are supported by runners, who bring the orders to the guests and clear the tables after they leave, turning them faster and generating more revenue.
This approach to the job produces numerous benefits. Whichever way you look at it, the deployment of a radio ordering system pays off in a very short time.
Service specialists are able to remain just where they are needed most: with the guests. The result is less wasted effort, no crowding around a terminal - and more time to take orders, generate sales and help customers.
Time savings mean that waiters serve more people, and pay more attention to guests. Projected over the whole year, individual diners having an extra item or beverage makes a huge difference; sales increases of at least 10 percent are the norm. What's more, incorrect and missed orders become a thing of the past.
Word soon gets around that guests prefer establishments that use Orderman. Orders are served faster, there's no waiting for the bill and guests simply enjoy good food, good drinks and excellent service. When guests are happy they spend more, visit more often and recommend you to others.
In most restaurants, 80% of sales are made in 20% of the time. More efficient serving processes and greater continuity at the bar and in the kitchen are therefore invaluable. Fast, accurate billing at the diners' tables is another advantage: all meals and drinks are registered with precision, and a clearly itemized bill appears from a hip printer at the touch of a button. Nothing is missed and no payment errors are made.

--- layout: post title: Modules & Packages in Python date: 2016-02-19 09:39:55.000000000 -06:00 type: post parent_id: '0' published: true password: '' status: publish categories: - python tags: - python meta: _edit_last: '1' _yoast_wpseo_focuskw_text_input: modules _yoast_wpseo_focuskw: modules _yoast_wpseo_linkdex: '70' author: login: admin email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>display_name: Anna first_name: '' last_name: '' permalink: "/module-package-class/" ---
A module is a python source file containing function definitions.
So if I wanted to group a bunch of similar functions together and be able to use it anywhere else I'd create a module. For example, say I want to create a module that has two functions - add2() and add3(). Then I would need to create a new python file and call it add.py and place both functions into it. From the interpretor I can import the module like so
>>>import add
and call the functions
>>>add.add2(2,3)
5
>>add.add3(1,2,3)
6
Now a package in python is a group of modules and an initialization file in a folder.
module.py + __init__.py = package
Let's create an arithmetic package, for this we need to create a folder called arithmetic, inside it place the modules you want and __init__.py file. The __init__.py file is for the initialization of the package which can be empty for now.
If I want to use the arithmetic package, I can do so by importing it
>>>from arithmetic.addition import add2
>>>add2(3,2)
5
You can read up more about modules and packages from over here https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html

materials_commons.cli.file_functions module¶
- materials_commons.cli.file_functions.check_file_selection(path, file_selection)[source]¶
Check if a file or directory is selected in a dataset file selection, and why.
Notes
A file is selected in a dataset’s file selection if it is listed explicitly in “include_files”. It is not selected if it is listed in “exclude_files”. If it is neither explicitly included or excluded, its parent directories are searched up to the project root directory to see if they are included or excluded. If the first parent directory listed is in “include_dirs”, then the file is also selected. If the first parent directory listed is in “exclude_dirs”, or if no parent directory is listed at all, the file is not selected.
- Parameters
path (str) – Materials Commons path of file or directory to check
file_selection (dict) –
A file selection dict. Expected format:
{ "include_files": [... list of file paths ...], "exclude_files": [... list of file paths ...], "include_dirs": [... list of directory paths ...], "exclude_dirs": [... list of directory paths ...] }
- Returns
(selected, selected_by) – selected (bool): True if selected, False if not selected
selected_by (str or None): One of “(self)” if included/excluded explicitly; Else, “<path>”, the path of the first parent directory that is included or excluded; Otherwise, None, to indicate that it is not selected, but neither included nor excluded.
- materials_commons.cli.file_functions.get_by_path_if_exists(client, project_id, file_path)[source]¶
Get file (or directory) by path in project, if it exists. :param int project_id: The id of the project containing the file or directory :param file_path: The Materials Commons path to the file or directory :return: The file or None :rtype File or None
- materials_commons.cli.file_functions.get_parent_id(file_or_dir)[source]¶

- Parameters
proj_local_path (str) – Path to project, i.e. “/path/to/project”
local_abspath (str) – Path to file in project, i.e. “/path/to/project/ path/to/file”
- Returns
mcpath (str) –
- Returns a Materials Commons style path, i.e. “/path/to/
file”
- Raises

10.5 Interface for Priority
Queues
void pqueue_init(PQueue *pqueue, int (*compare)(const void *key1,
const void *key2), void (*destroy)(void *data));
Return Value
None.
Description
Initializes the priority queue specified by
pqueue. This operation must be called for a
priority queue before it can be used with any other operation.
The compare argument is a function used by
various priority queue operations in maintaining the priority
queue's heap property. This function should return 1 if
key1 > key2, if
key1 = key2, and -1 if
key1 < key2 for a priority
queue in which large keys have a higher priority. For a
priority queue in which smaller keys have a higher priority,
compare should reverse the cases that return 1
and -1. The destroy argument provides a way to
free dynamically allocated data when pqueue_destroy is called. For
example, if the priority queue contains data dynamically
allocated using malloc,
destroy should be set to free to free the data as the priority
queue is destroyed. For structured data containing several
dynamically allocated members, destroy should
be set to a user-defined function that calls free for each dynamically allocated
member as well as for the structure itself. For a priority
queue containing data that should not be freed,
destroy should be set to NULL.
Complexity
O (1)
void pqueue_destroy(PQueue *pqueue);
Return Value
None.
Description
Destroys the priority queue specified by
pqueue. No other operations are permitted
after calling pqueue_destroy
unless pqueue_init is called
again. The pqueue_destroy
operation extracts all elements from a priority queue and
calls the function passed as destroy to pqueue_init once for each element as
it is extracted, provided destroy was not set
to NULL.
Complexity
O (n), where n is the number of elements in the
priority queue.
int pqueue_insert(PQueue *pqueue, const void *data);
Return Value
0if inserting the element is successful, or
-1 otherwise.
Description
Inserts an element into the priority queue
specified by pqueue. The new element contains
a pointer to data, so the memory referenced by
data should remain valid as long as the
element remains in the priority queue. It is the
responsibility of the caller to manage the storage associated
with data.
Complexity
O (lg n), where n is the number of elements in the
priority queue.
int pqueue_extract(PQueue *pqueue, void **data);
Return Value
0if extracting the element is successful, or
-1 otherwise.
Description
Extracts the element at the top of the
priority queue specified by pqueue. Upon
return, data points to the data stored in the
element that was extracted. It is the responsibility of the
caller to manage the storage associated with the data.
Complexity
O (lg n), where n is the number of elements in the
priority queue.
void *pqueue_peek(const PQueue *pqueue);
Return Value
Highest priority element in the priority
queue, or NULL if the priority queue is empty.
Description
Macro that evaluates to the highest priority
element in the priority queue specified by
pqueue.
Complexity
O (1)
int pqueue_size(const PQueue *pqueue);
Return Value
Number of elements in the priority queue.
Description
Macro that evaluates to the number of
elements in the priority queue specified by
pqueue.

e2 <- (dfValid[,3]-ridge_l2$predict(dfValid[,-3]))
e5 <- (dfValid[,3]-ridge_l5$predict(dfValid[,-3]))
In the validation set, we have the lowest RMSE with lambda=0, RMSE=35.17932.
Note: using different values of lambda, the RMSE does not change dramatically.
In the training set, with lambda=15 we have RMSE=34.52558.
In the test set, with lambda=15 we have RMSE=33.30644.
Note: we observe that as we use more data for training, the RMSE decrease and the optimun value of lambda increase.

dials.find_spots¶
Introduction¶
This program tries to find strong spots on a sequence of images. The program can be called with either a “datablock.json” file or a sequence of image files (see help for dials.import for more information about how images are imported). Spot finding will be done against each logically grouped set of images given. Strong pixels will be found on each image and spots will be formed from connected components. In the case of rotation images, connected component labelling will be done in 3D.
Once a set of spots have been found, their centroids and intensities will be calculated. They will then be filtered according to the particular preferences of the user. The output will be a file (strong.pickle) containing a list of spot centroids and intensities which can be used in the dials.index program. To view a list of parameters for spot finding use the –show-config option.
Examples:
dials.find_spots image1.cbf
dials.find_spots imager_00*.cbf
dials.find_spots datablock.json
dials.find_spots datablock.json output.reflections=strong.pickle

Russ instantly stopped grinding away at the camera handle as he saw Mr. Towne go into the ditch, but the manager, without the loss of a moment, cried:
“Film that, Russ! It’ll be better than the way we were to play it first. Catch him as he comes up!”
“All right!” chuckled the young operator.

“His suit will surely need washing,” remarked Alice.
“Oh, how can you be so heartless?” asked her sister.
“Heartless! Isn’t that the truth?”
Mr. Towne had struggled to his feet. The muddy stream was not very deep.
“Help! Help! Save me!” he cried, as he wiped the water from his face, thereby making many muddy streaks on his countenance.
“You’re in no danger—come on out!” cried Mr. Pertell, trying not to laugh. “Come right toward the camera, Mr. Towne, and register anger and disgust!”
“Register—register!” spluttered the actor. “Do you mean to say you are filming me in this state?”
“I certainly am—it’s a state that will make a hit in the movies!” cried Mr. Pertell. “You might fall down once more, if you don’t mind, Mr. Towne. It will add realism to the film.”
“Fall down again! Never! I will resign first.”
“Very well, I won’t insist on it,” replied the manager, for he felt that it was rather hard on the actor.
But moving picture work is not at all easy, and actors and actresses have to do more disagreeable and dangerous “stunts” than merely falling into a muddy stream. The demand of the public for realism often goes to extremes, and more than once performers have risked their lives at the behest of some enthusiastic manager.
Mr. Pertell was not that sort, however, though he did insist on his players doing a reasonable amount of hard work—and often disagreeable work, as in this case.
But aside from getting wet and muddy, which conditions could be remedied by a bath and dry clothes, the actor suffered no great hardship, except to his pride, and perhaps he had too much of that, anyhow.
“Come on!” cried the manager. “Crawl out of that, and keep on with the chase.”
“Keep on—in this condition! Do you mean it?” Mr. Towne asked.
“Certainly I do. The play must go on. Just because you fell in the ditch is no excuse for stopping it. Keep on! Right along the path. Crawl out and run on.”
“But—but look at my clothes!” complained Mr. Towne. “They are—they’re muddy!”
“There is a little mud on them, to be sure,” agreed Mr. Pertell. “But don’t worry. It will wash off.”
“A little mud!” spluttered the actor. “I—I—”
“Keep on!” cried the manager. “You are delaying the play!”
The young actor groaned, but there was nothing for it but to obey. He climbed out of the ditch, his once immaculate suit dripping mud from every point, and then he began the pretended chase again, seeking to find the escaping lovers.
Of course this was the farcical element, but managers have found that this is much needed in plays, and though many of them would prefer to eliminate the “horse-play” the audiences seem to demand it, and managers are prone to cater to the tastes of their audiences when they find it pays.
“I’m glad I wasn’t cast for that part,” remarked the dignified Mr. Bunn, as he saw what Mr. Towne had to go through.
“I’d never consent to it,” declared Mr. Sneed. “This business is bad enough as it is,” he complained, “without deliberately making it worse. I presume he’ll want me to try and catch an alligator next, or drive a sea cow to pasture.”
“What’s a sea cow?” asked Alice, who had overheard the talk, while Mr. Towne was being filmed in his muddy state.
“The manatee,” explained Mr. Sneed. “They are curious animals. They browse around on the bottom of Florida rivers, and sea inlets, as cows do on shore, eating grass. We’ll probably see some down here.”
“Are they dangerous?” asked Miss Dixon.
“Not as a rule,” answered the grouchy actor, who seemed to have taken a sudden interest in this matter. “They might upset a small boat if they accidently bumped into it, for often they grow to be fourteen feet long, and are like a whale in shape.”
“I hope we won’t meet with any,” observed Ruth. “I can’t bear wild animals.”
“Manatees are not especially wild,” laughed Mr. Sneed, it being one of the few occasions when he did indulge in mirth. “In fact, the earlier forms of manatee were called Sirenia, and were considered to be the origin of the belief in mermaids. For they carried their little ones in their fore-flippers, almost as a human mother might do in her arms, and when swimming along would raise their heads out of water, so that they had a faint resemblance to a swimming woman.”
“How very odd!” cried Alice. “And are there manatees down here?”
“Many in Florida? Yes,” was the answer. “I suppose we’ll see some if we stay long enough. But I’m going to serve notice on Mr. Pertell now that I refuse to drive any of the sea cows to pasture.”
“I don’t blame you!” laughed Ruth. “Oh, look at Mr. Towne! He’s fallen again!”
And so the unfortunate actor had, but this time into a clump of rough bushes that tore his now nearly ruined white flannels.
“That’s good!” cried Mr. Pertell, approvingly. “You did that very well, Mr. Towne!”
“Well, I didn’t do it on purpose,” the actor protested, as he managed, not without some difficulty, to extricate himself from the briars.
Then he ran on, Russ making picture after picture, while the manager rapidly changed some of the other scenes on the typewritten sheets to conform to the accident of which he had so cleverly made use.
“Mr. Bunn, I have a new part for you, in this same play,” the manager said, when Mr. Towne was finally allowed to rest.
“What is it?” asked the older actor. “I hope you can put in something about Shakespeare. I have not had a Shakespearean part in so long that I have almost forgotten how to do it properly.”
“I can’t promise you that this time,” said the manager. “But it just occurred to me that you could also try to trace the escaping lovers, and get stuck in a bog-hole.”
“Who, the lovers get stuck in a bog?”
“No, you!”
“Me? Never! I refuse—”
“Now hold on, Mr. Bunn!” said Mr. Pertell, quickly. “I am not asking you to do much. You need not get in the bog deeper than up to your knees. That will answer very well. You can pretend it is a sort of quicksand bog and that you are sinking deeper and deeper.
“And I insist!” declared Mr. Pertell, sharply. “Your contract calls for any reasonable amount of work, and to wade into a bog knee-deep is not unreasonable.”
“But I will spoil my shoes and trousers.”
“No matter, I will provide you with new ones. You need not sacrifice your tall hat this time.”
“That is one comfort,” sighed the old actor. “Well, I suppose there is no help for it. Where is the bog hole?”
“I think this one will do,” said the manager, pointing to one where Mr. Towne had fallen into the mud. “You will come along, pretending to look for the fleeing lovers, and you will unwittingly wade out into the bog. There you will struggle to release yourself, but you will be unable to, and will call for help. Mr. Switzer, who is also on the trail, will respond and he will wade out and save you.”
“Excuse me,” remarked the German actor, softly, “but vy iss it necessary dot I rescue him?”
“Why he can’t rescue himself,” declared Mr. Pertell. “You’ve got to do it.”
“No, dot I did not mean. I meant dot as Herr Towne iss alretty wet and muddy, dot he could as vell do der rescue act.”
“That’s so. It will be better!” said the manager. “I didn’t think of that. I’ll have Towne do it. He can come along on the film right after he’s pulled himself out of the ditch. Fix it up that way, Russ.”
“All right, Mr. Pertell.”
“Have I got to go in more mud and water?” demanded the fastidious actor.
“Yes,” replied the manager. “But it won’t be much. Just a few feet or so of film.”
Mr. Towne groaned, but there was no help for it. And really he could not get much muddier.
Accordingly, after some intervening scenes had been filmed to make the action of the story, as revised, more plausible, Russ moved his camera near the bog hole, ready to get views of Mr. Bunn, when he should stumble into it, and also Mr. Towne, when the latter came to the rescue.
“All ready now—let her go!” called the manager. “Come along, Mr. Bunn.”
The old actor advanced, but evidently with very little liking for his part.
“Oh, be more natural!” cried Mr. Pertell. “You are supposed to be the father of the young man who is eloping, and you want to prevent him. Put some spirit into your work!”
Thereupon Mr. Bunn tried, and with better success. But when he came to the edge of the bog hole he hesitated.
“Hold on! Stop the camera!” cried the manager, sharply. “That won’t do at all. This must be spontaneous. Run right along, and don’t stop when you see the bog hole. Plunge right into it. Why, it isn’t up to your knees, Mr. Bunn, and the weather is hot.”
“All right, here I go!” he said, resignedly.
“Wait! Go back and do that last bit over again,” ordered the manager. “Russ, cut out the last few pictures and substitute these that are to come. Now, Mr. Bunn!”
The Shakespearean actor started over again, and he was “game” enough to pretend that he did not in the least mind floundering into the bog hole. As he came to the edge of it, in he plunged.
He went down much deeper than to his knees, and as he felt himself sinking he called out:
“Help! Help! Save me! Save me!”
“That’s it! That’s the way to do it! That’s being what I call realistic!” shouted Mr. Pertell, who always waxed enthusiastic over a new idea.
Mr. Bunn continued to sink in the bog. He pulled and struggled to get out, apparently without success. Then his tall hat fell off from the violence of his exertions, and he barely saved it from a muddy bath.
“Help! Help! I’m sinking!” he cried.
“Good! That’s the way to act it!” encouraged Mr. Pertell. “Now, Mr. Towne, you come up to the rescue in a few seconds. Don’t mind the mud, either. Go right out to him. You can’t be much worse off.”
“Indeed I cannot,” agreed the other, as he glanced at his soiled suit.
“Wait just a minute more,” said Mr. Pertell to the prospective rescuer. “Give him a chance to struggle more. It will look better.”
“No, let him come at once and save me! Save me at once!”
“Why?” the manager wanted to know.
“Because I really am sinking! This isn’t play! The quicksand has me in its grip!”
And, as Mr. Pertell looked about, unable to tell whether the actor was saying that as part of the “business,” or because he was in earnest, the unfortunate man cried out in real anguish:
“Save me! Save me! I am in the quicksand and it’s sucking me down!”
“That’s right! He is in a quicksand bog!” cried one of the steamer hands who had helped hew a path through the swamp. “He’ll never get out if you don’t help him quick!”

We center all our work and philosophy around principles of:
- Focus
- Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we work well together and produce excellent work. We deliver valuable items sooner.
- Courage
- Because we work as a team, we feel supported and have more resources at our disposal. This gives us the courage to undertake greater challenges.
- Openness
- As we work together, we express how we're doing, what's in our way, and our concerns so they can be addressed
- Commitment
- Because we have great control over our own destiny, we are more committed to success.
- Respect
- As we work together, sharing successes and failures, we come to respect each other and to help each other become worthy of respect.
In order to accomplish this, we make extensive use of
- Transparency
- Both internally and with clients
- Work should be visible for the client and team
- Customer collaboration is valued over contract negotiation
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
We follow these principles: Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Instance Method Details
- (undocumented) <=>(other)
We use Object#hash
as a way to enforce ordering on the nodes. This
can be configurable in the future; for example, you could enforce a
split-ordering on the nodes in the set.

Sailin’ down the coast of High Barbary
"Oh, I'm not a man-o-war nor privateer," said he
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
"But I am salt sea pirate all a-looking for me fee"
Sailin’ down the coast of High Barbary
For Broadside, for broadside a long time we lay
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
Til at last the Prince of Luther shot the pirate's mast away
Sailin’ down the coast of High Barbary
"Oh quarter, oh quarter" those pirates they did cry
Blow high, blow low, and so sail we
But the quarter that we gave them was we sank 'em in the sea

Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such enhancement projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design.
Modern is a broad design term that typically refers to a home with clean, crisp lines, a simple colour palette and the use of materials that can include metal, glass and steel.
Modern and contemporary are two styles frequently used interchangeably. Contemporary is different from modern because it describes design based on the here and now.
The minimalist concept is one that’s popular here in Australia. It takes notions of modern design and simplifies them further. Minimalism is ultimately defined by a sense of functionality and ultra-clean lines.
ndustrial style as the name implies, draws inspiration from a warehouse or an urban loft. An iconic home with an industrial design theme would be a renovated loft from a former industrial building.
Mid-century modern is a throwback to the design style of the mid-1900s—primarily the 1950s and 60s. There’s a retro nostalgia present in Mid-Century Modern Design, and also some elements of minimalism.
Scandanavian design pays homage to the simplicity of life demonstrated in Nordic countries. Scandinavian furniture design often feels like a work of art, although it is simple and understated.
"Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style."
Billy Baldwin, American interior decorator
"The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what's in or what's out.”

An overlay is a popup within the page. Technically, it is not part of the w2popup object. It is part of w2utils. However, it is described here
due to its functional similarity to popups. Tags and overlays are common purpose jQuery plugins and should be called in jQuery plugin syntax.
$().w2tag(html, [options])
The plugin will display a tag on the right from specified element.
Preview
Hover over this field
There can be many tags on the screen at the same time. If the element is moved, the tag will move with it. If it is destroyed, the tag will be destroyed. If you need to hide a tag, call w2tag again with empty text.
Options can be one of the following:
$().w2overlay(options)
The plugin will display an overlay under (or above) the element. If element is by the edge of the screen, the overlay will be
displayed in the visible portion of the page.
Preview
Click on this field
If first argument is a string, it will be treated as HTML to display. However, the first argument can be an object with options.
If user clicks anywhere else on the screen the overlay will be hidden, which is not the same with tags. Normally, you can have
only one overlay on the screen, however, you can provide a unique name if you want to display multiple overlays at the same time.
Overlay supports following options:
$().w2color(options, callBack)
Displays color picker menu for the element. It is used in w2toolbar for color and text-color menus.
For example:
Preview
Click on this field
You can use any valid overlay option for the color as well. In addition it has following options:


{% extends 'ui/base.html' %} {% block title %}Create Protocol | BioQueue{% endblock %} {% block content %}
You can fetch the procotol from BioQueue Open Platform by providing the ID of the protocol.
You can upload a protocol file to import it.

R scripts for plotting and assessing XHMM whole-exome-sequencing-based CNV calls. XHMM (eXome Hidden Markov Model) is a C++ software package (http://atgu.mgh.harvard.edu/xhmm) written to call copy number variation (CNV) from next-generation sequencing projects, where exome capture was used (or targeted sequencing, more generally). This R package enables the user to visualize both the PCA normalization performed by XHMM and the CNVs it has called.
