Shame, Sleeper, IDER and Whenyoung to play memorial show in support of mental health charities
by https://www.facebook.com/charlotte.krol1"Their work is vitally important"
Shame, Sleeper, IDER and Whenyoung are to perform a show in support of mental health charities CALM and Mind next month.
The gig is in memory of booking agent Chris Meredith, who lost his battle with depression in September. The bands will perform at London’s O2 Academy Islington on December 1.
Meredith was said to have been instrumental in helping Sleeper get back out on stage when the Britpop band reformed in 2018.
Sleeper said: “Chris Meredith was a big part of the Sleeper story, bringing us back to the live circuit after twenty years away. He was an absolute gem, a champion of female artists, and we’ll miss him hugely. We’re taking part in this gig for Mind and CALM because they do such amazing work breaking down the stigma of mental health issues and helping people in crisis. Their work is vitally important. Perhaps now, more than ever.”
IDER, meanwhile, performed at Meredith’s festival Neverworld and the booking agent had a long association with Whenyoung before their current inception.
Sleeper perform live
Simon Gunning, CEO of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) added: “As an organisation that has always worked closely with the music community, we’re proud to partner with ATC Live to honour the memory of Chris Meredith. It’s great to have the support of such brilliant artists in raising awareness of the services that are available to anyone who may be struggling, and donations contribute towards the operation of CALM’s free and anonymous helpline and webchat which are open every day, 5pm-midnight.”
Tickets for the event, priced at £20, go on sale at 10am on November 19 here. £6 from every ticket sold will be donated to each charity, CALM and Mind.

--- layout: default title: "HiBeam Laser Engraver" desc: The HiBeam labware laser engraver is next-generation technology to provide direct indelible microplate marking that is far superior to conventional printed labels. keywords: HiBeam, Laser Engraver, Microplate Labeler slug: "jekyll_metas" ---
The HiBeam labware laser engraver is next-generation technology to provide direct indelible microplate marking that is far superior to conventional printed labels. The HiBeam marks directly on the labware surface, thereby eliminating the risk of adhesive-backed labels becoming detached due to poor adhesion, humidified environment, centrifugation, solvent contact or other interferences that typically plague print-and-apply labelers. Adhesive labels, ribbons, thermal paper or any other types of consumables are not needed.
Flexible laser positioning allows text, graphics and barcodes to be placed on both the long side and short side of labware, with the imprint area not being constrained by a label size. Software controlled laser operating parameters provide optimum marking performance on a wide variety of labware materials, colors, and heights. The automatic enclosure provides complete protection from laser radiation while allowing safe viewing of the marking operation. The rotating plate pad allows the HiBeam to easily process ANSI/SLAS compatible labware in portrait or landscape mode, and its compact footprint permits easy integration into laboratory automation systems.
The HiBeam laser engraver provides the ultimate in labware traceability. Its direct indelible marking provides a complete consumables-free solution for the most demanding applications in manufacturing, drug discovery, genomics and clinical diagnostic applications.

Welcome to my collection of academic endeavors, personal projects, and random musings. Outside of my academic interests, I'm also passionate about
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I swam competitively for 10 years and fell in love with learning.
From 2016 to 2020 I was in the Los Angeles area while attending Harvey Mudd College, through which I double majored and earned a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science and Visual Art.
Currently, I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student with a focus on Computer Graphics at Simon Fraser University in the Vancouver area, under the supervision of Eugene Fiume. Within graphics, I am presently most interested in physically-based animation and geometric modeling. I'm constantly amazed by how math, science, and art can come together in order to represent the world around us in a meaningful way.
Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of interning as a software engineer at several different companies, including the following:
For a capstone project through Harvey Mudd College, I have also worked for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on GPU-accelerated visualization of high-order physics simulation meshes.

Having all the hardware correctly calibrated, and being already capable of acquiring Kinect data, the next important step is post-processing the "registered" point cloud.
Point CloudsCentral Position
The point cloud used to develop this process was recorded into a bag through the ros- bag package, so that the code could be written and tested without being always connected to the Kinect sensor. The recorded scene was the one presented in the next picture, together with the corresponding point cloud.
The steps of the process used to acquire the centroid and normal information of each object are listed below:
- Removal of undesired points from the point cloud, such as, points on the floor or points that represent the robot’s base;
- Identification and removal of points from the table where the objects lay;
- Clustering of the point cloud to separate the different objects;
- Determination of the centroid and normal for each cluster.
The objDetection.cpp program, contained in the source file of the project, was created to subscribe to the /camera/depth_registered/points (XYZRGB) topic published by the Kinect, invoking a callback function whenever a new message arrives to this topic. This function is the one responsible for processing the data, publishing and presenting the results.
1 - Extraction of outliers and filtering
The points which were far away from the camera, i.e., a more than 0.9 meters, along the Z direction were removed, thus removing the points beyond the table. The filter used to do this was the PassThrough. Since the process of acquiring the point cloud of the workspace will always be done with the manipulator in the same respective position, the range in the X direction necessary to remove the points from the robot’s base will always be the same.
The filter used to reduce the number of points is called VoxelGrid. This filter is used to simplify the cloud, by wrapping the point cloud with a three-dimensional grid and reducing the number of points to the center points within each block of the grid. The point cloud resulting from this type of filter is presented bellow.
2 - Extraction of the background
The next step consists of identifying and removing the background formed by the table, thus leaving only the part of the point cloud that represents the objects to grab. In order to identify the table, the SACSegmentation class does a simple segmentation of a set of points with the purpose of finding the dominant plane in a scene. After removing those points in the background it was noticeable that not all points from the table were correctly removed. In order to remove these isolated points the RadiusOutlierRemoval filter was used.
The point cloud that results from this filter is presented in following figure and it is possible to see that the only points now in the resulting point cloud belong to a specific object.
3 - Clustering
Having only the points that represent the objects to grab, the following step is to split them in different point clouds, each one representing a specific object. The clustering method used to separate and extract the objects was the Euclidean Cluster Extraction with the pcl::EuclideanClusterExtraction class. This process uses a plane segmentation algorithm to identify different surfaces, which is the same as the one used in the identification of the background, in the previous section. This clustering method is only used to separate different objects that are not in close contact with each other; in that case another class has to be used, for example the pcl::RegionGrowing explained here .
The next figure shows the different clusters, each with a distinct color, in one viewer.
4 - Calculation of each Centroid and Normal
- Firstly, the normals of all of the points of a cluster are computed using the NormalEsti- mation class;
- The second main step consists of computing the center of the surface, which will be referred to as the virtual centroid since it does not represent a point of the surface but rather the central point of all the surface’s points;
- Having the virtual centroid of the surface, the index of the cluster’s point which is closer to this virtual centroid was then determined;
- The index of the point which has the shortest distance to the virtual centroid can be now used to determine the centroid of the object’s surface. This virtual centroid computed in ii can not be used as the grasping point because, for curved surfaces like the ones obtained with the ping pong balls, this centroid will be below the interior surface instead of above the external surface. This is better visualized in the next figure in which the white point represents the virtual centroid and the red one represents the centroid of the surface which will be later the grasping point after some adjustments with the laser sensor measurement.
- Lastly, the normal of the surface’s centroid was also determined from all of the normals computed in i through the index of the point with the shortest distance to the virtual centroid.
The next figure presentes a representation of the object’s centroid and its normals in the initial point cloud.
The centroid and its normal of the first clustered object were published in the topics /cloud_centroid and /cloud_centroid_normal respectively. These have their coordinates in relation to the tf /camera_rgb_optical_frame, which is one of the frames of the Kinect sensor, and will be later transformed to be in relation to the /robot_base_link frame of the manipulator, for future manipulation.

Clintons to close 1 in 5 stores amid fears the card chain is close to collapse
The greeting card shop chain is said to have warned landlords it will have to close 66 of its 332 shops in the UK
by Amy-Clare MartinClintons is set to close one in five shops with fears growing that the greeting card chain is on the brink of collapse
The chain is said to have warned landlords that it needs to fold 66 of its 332 shops and is calling for slashed rents as Britain’s high streets continue to flounder.
It is reported that landlords last week called for cheaper rents on more than 200 stores, while a string have been earmarked for closure.
If landlords agree, the new deals would link rents to each store’s performance, reports claim, with the firm only paying full rates on 60 of its sites.
Key stakeholders in the firm, which employs 2,500 people, are said to be due to vote on restructuring proposals next month.
The proposals are said to lay the groundwork for a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) in a bid to prevent insolvency.
The firm, owned by the Weiss family, recorded a loss of £14.2m in 2018, narrowed from £19.4m the year before.
Restructuring documents seen by The Sunday Telegraph said: “Approximately 90 of the company’s stores are currently loss-making with the business forecasting that sales will continue to decline.”
The news comes as yet another blow to Britain’s high streets, after Mothercare collapsed into administration last week - putting 79 stores and 2,500 jobs at risk.
The Mirror’s High Street Fightback campaign, launched last year, has been highlighting the plight of town centres and calling for action to support our struggling high streets.
A Clintons spokesman said: “Discussions are continuing with our landlords but no decisions have been made.”

- EMC
- Requirements
- What noise frequencies are emitted? (e.g. clock and SMPS frequencies)
- What noise frequencies is the circuit sensitive to?
- What noise will be generated by connected devices? (e.g. mains adaptors)
- What countries will the product be sold in? What standards cover these countries?
- What is the end use for the product? Does this have any specific EMC requirements ?
Industrial or automotive use has different test requirements and permissable emission levels than consumer goods. For industrial, the levels are usually higher. See Conformance UK's guide
- Prevention
- Do switching supplies have (or have an option for) RC snubbers?
While not always needed for stability, an RC snubber can dampen ringing oscillations, which result in high frequency noise that may exceed EMC limits.
- Is differential signalling used for digital signals where possible?
Differential signals are not only more immune to noise, but emit less as well. For high speed, long signal lines (e.g. remote displays in automotive), the difference can be considerable.
- Is differential signalling used for analog signals?
- Are shielded connectors needed?
- Is a shielded case needed? How will this be bonded to ground?
- Are switched-mode power supplies synchronized?
If switch mode power supplies are powered from the same source and are not syncronized, they can produce "beat" frequencies from being out of phase, and input and output ripple is also increased. See TI Power Tip 73: Synchronizing Makes for Well-Behaved Power Supplies

- Can components be oriented in roughly the same way / consistency in layout?
- Are components easily accessible?
Large components or high density boards might make it difficult to inspect components during testing or after failure. Apart from visual blocking it can also manifest as physically blocking from accessing with probes.
- For inspection?
- For replacement?
- Are interactive components placed in a logical manner? (Consistent orientation of buttons? Consistent rotation of potentiometers?)
- Are temperature sensitive components placed away from hot components?
- Should there be a ground ring?
Ground rings serve both a signal integrity and a practical purpose. For EMC it is necessary to avoid traces along edges of the PCB. Adding a ground ring is an easy way of ensuring this constraint is held. It also provides somewhat better EMI prevention. Source: Why are vias placed this way on a PCB? - Stack Exchange
- Are mechanical constraints defined?
Schematic
- Set up
- Has DRC been set up and configured?
- Has a grid size been picked
- Has paper sizes been selected for sheets?
- Symbols
- Are explicit and informative
- Do they resemble electrical circuit symbols?
- Mark internal pull-up/-down
- Mark internal termination
- Reflect the functionality or logical structure of the component In contrast to placing pins as the physically appear on the device. Schematics should reflect functionality; board layout should reflect physical reality. Physical pin layout has its merit in making debugging easier -- however, so does having a clearer schematic.
- Pins are assigned the correct type (passive, power, in, out etc.)
- Are active-high and active-low marked consistently?
- Are power (and ground) pins consistently placed and marked?
- Do pin positions adhere to the selected grid size If the the pins are off grid, connections might not be made. Reference: EEVblog #1129 - Creating a Nice Readable Schematic (15:06)
- Functionality
- Are all pins on all ICs handled?
- Unused OPAMPs: output to negative input and positive input to ground.
- Unused comparators: All pins to common.
- Beak-out of extra pins from ICs or subsystems?
- Are mating connectors on different boards matched in pin-out?
- Have necessary inputs been ESD protected? #ESD
A typical solution would be current limiting resistors, clamping diodes.
- Multipart components are identified and utilized
- Are all pins on all ICs handled?
- Electrical
- Are reset pins pulled to high/low?
- Is reset filtered?
- Are polarized components protected/ensured against from reverse voltage?
- Pull-up on all open-collector?
- Are resistors operating within their specified voltage range?
- Is a low-impedance source driving tantalum capacitors?
It can result in premature failure. Switch-on current should also be limited. References:
- Is there sufficient bulk capacitance?
- Testing
- Are there ground connection points? (for probes etc.)
- Have necessary test points been added?
- Have configurable strap-in pins been biased?
- Have configurable strap-in pins been connected with jumpers or similar?
- Busses
- I2C
- Pull-up on SDA an SCL
I2C is open-drain and thus needs pull-up. References: Texas Instruments, Application Report, I2C Bus Pullup Resistor Calculation
- Pull-up on SDA an SCL
- JTAG
- Have datasheets been consulted for necessary pull-up/-down?
Typically TMS and TDI are pull-up and TCK is pull-down, but it changes between manufacturers and devices. Some devices have internal pull-up/-down, yet external resistors are recommended to keep start-up well-defined.
- Have datasheets been consulted for necessary pull-up/-down?
- SWD
- Have datasheets been consulted for necessary pull-up/-down?
Typically TMS and TDI are pull-up and TCK is pull-down, but it changes between manufacturers and devices. Some devices have internal pull-up/-down, yet external resistors are recommended to keep start-up well-defined.

- Signal integrity
- Is there sufficient decoupling?
- Is there filtering between analog and digital commons?
- Are optocouplers filtered?
- Impedance on inputs from outside of board?
- Are ferrite beads on input/output power lines?
- Are ferrite beads on sensitive signal lines?
This includes signal lines that are not sensitive themselves, but connect to sensitive components. E.g. U-Blox recommend ferrite beads on GPS module UART connections to avoid RF noise travelling "along" and into the module, see U-Blox M8 Hardware Integration Manual
- Do all ferrite beads have sufficient margin in DC current rating?
When the DC current (DC bias current) approaches the maximum, the effective impedance of ferrite beads decreases significantly. See Analog Devices AN-1368, Choosing and Using Ferrite Beads
- Is there an estimate of what frequencies the ferrite beads are required to filter?
- Do high-speed single-ended digital signals have series resistors?
- Is there a footprint for a common mode filter on high-speed differential signals going offboard?
For high-speed differential buses like USB 3.0, DisplayPort, and HDMI, a common-mode filter will stop common-mode noise generated in the transceiver from traveling into the signal line where it may radiate from the cable. Notice that the filter might degrade the differential signal slightly.
Using a footprint allows one to be quickly fitted in case EMC testing fails. - Do op-amps have input filters for EMI?
High frequency EMI signals can be rectified by the op-amp if not filtered out beforehand, resulting in DC errors at the output. See Analog Devices MT-096, RFI Rectification Concepts and Analogue circuit design for RF immunity, Clough Consoltants

I've planned 7 classes + 1 tutorial of four hours each, but this is still subject to changes.
The workshop calendar, with the individual classes, visits, revisions is available on Beep.
The slides I use will be posted here after each class,
as well as solved problems and other classroom materials,
but please understand that the slides, etc, are not a
substitute for a real textbook (see below).
I will try to post the slides in advance of the classes
but I'm afraid this won't be always possible.
Exam
There is a single exam for the whole course, consisting
in a thorough review of your project, including the
structural design.
The structural design must be
documented in a consistent manner, comprising at least a
technical report on the building, complete with the
detailed design of a few structural members, and executive
drawings of the structure and a few structural members.
Recommended text books
As far as I can tell, the Campus Library has a
few copies of "Structures" but very few when compared to
your number.
Toniolo's book being quite new, I
don't think it is already available from the
Library.
IMO "Structures" is a good book for your
self-study if you are curious of its subject...
Toniolo's is an in-depth text book that you may like
better if you want to become a good designer of
reinforced concrete structures because it is both wider
and deeper if compared to what we will see in the
course.

Chapter 8 Collaboration in GitHub
This material is based on a workshop by Matthew Hall from the University of Sheffield.
The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of one very popular method of collaborative working, version control and producing reproducable research. The authors use this method for all work they do (even when working on individual projects). We feel it is essential for the future of the field (and science in general).
We assume throughout that you have read previous chapters and have R & RStudio installed. The tutorial will use the RStudio Git GUI (basically an extra tab to use Git from within RStudio). If you don’t already have RStudio on your computer, see Chapter 2.1 or install directly from here https://www.rstudio.com.
8.0.1 Git
Git comes as a separate package for the main platforms. You might already have Git installed. If you don’t, you can get packages for Windows and Mac from http://git-scm.com/downloads
8.0.2 Setting up RStudio
Before creating a project, RStudio needs to be configured to use Git. Open the Settings page in RStudio and make sure Enable version control interface for RStudio projects is checked. Ensure the Git executable field is populated. If it isn’t, it needs to be set to the directory containing git. For Windows, this will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe
if you used the package from git-scm.com. On Linux or Macs it should be in /usr/local/bin
or /usr/bin
.
8.1 Creating a Project with Git Integration
To start the tutorial, we’ll go over the basics of checking in changes. To get started, we’ll create an RStudio project. Create a project in RStudio in a new directory. Choose an empty project in the Project Type and make sure the Create a git repository option is checked.
8.2 Adding a New File to the Project
Create a new R Script from the New File menu and give it a name. Add some code to the file and save it.
8.3 Overview of the Git Panel
RStudio’s Git integration consists of two components. The Git panel gives the overview of the files in your project. Clicking the History button (or the Diff or Commit buttons) brings up the detailed source control view.
8.3.1 Empty Repositories
Git tracks the state of files by recording the changes. When you’ve made modifications to files, you can store those changes alongside a message. Git only tracks files that have been “added” to its own list of files it should track. When first started, Git won’t track anything, so you’ll have to add the files to git to track their changes.
This makes it easy to keep your repository cleaner: you only need to track the relevant files so temporary files or outputs won’t “pollute” your commits.
8.3.2 Adding Files to Git
To set Git to record changes to files, add the file you created to it by checking the box next to its name in the Git panel. This “stages” the change (adding the file). A staged change isn’t saved, but will be included when you commit. The file’s status will change to an “A” to indicate that the file’s addition will be included in your next commit.
8.3.3 Committing the Change
Click the commit button to show the commit editor. You can check the changes you’re about to commit before giving your commit a message and clicking a commit button.
After committing your file, close the Git output window and the “Review changes” window to get back to the main RStudio interface.
You’ll see that your file isn’t listed in the Git panel. This is because the file is now “clean”; it hasn’t been changed since it was committed so there are no changes to stage.
Change the file and save it, and the Git panel will show that the file has been changed again.
The file now shows up in the Git panel because it’s been modified (M). You can stage these modifications by clicking the Staged checkbox.
You can then commit the changes via the commit button again.
8.3.4 Looking at Previous Revisions
The History button opens the Review Changes window that shows the history of commits made to the repository.
Selecting a commit will show the “diff” recorded by Git. You can also use the “View file @ (revision)” button to see how the file looked when it was committed. In RStudio, you can save this file elsewhere to retrieve old copies. (Git provides more advanced features for dealing with (and changing) history but these aren’t (currently) available from within RStudio.)
<IP_ADDRESS> Diffs
When you make a commit, Git stores them as a bundle of diffs against the previous file. That way, Git always has a full set of all the changes made to the file since its addition to the repository. Diffs consist of several chunks; each chunk is a part of the file that changed.
 Sometimes, these are easy to read. Other times, they get confusing to read. For example, if you swap two large blocks of code they may be recorded as two separate chunks. You can keep your diffs readable by making your commits as self-contained as possible.
8.3.5 Git for Single Users
We’ve covered the basics of working with Git for single users: you now have enough experience to use it in your own projects without having to email/duplicate old copies to keep working revisions. Instead, just note the revision (the “SHA” from the Review Changes history tab) used to generate results and you’ll always be able to go back and regenerate them.
Git repositories can exist on shared services like Dropbox. However, if you do keep a repository in such a service, make sure you only modify it from one machine at a time, and that the repository is fully synchronised before you make any changes.
8.4 Collaborating with Git
If you work with multiple collaborators (or use multiple computers), you can use Git to make sure everyone has a current copy of changes and to resolve problems when multiple people change the same files.
It’s possible to copy a repository from one location to another, and all the changes will be kept. Because the history of the repository is included when the copy is taken, Git is able to work out how files should look if people make different changes to their own copies then try to merge them back into a central copy.
8.4.1 Cloning a Repository
To start working with an existing repository, you can clone it. This takes a complete copy of the remote repository, allowing you to go back in its history as you can with other repositories. The clone operation also remembers where the repository came from. If the remote repository changes, you can then pull changes back into your own copy.
8.4.2 Pushing to a Repository
If you have permission, you can push any changes made to your local repository back to the remote. The tutorial will cover the basic process of making changes and publishing them.
8.4.3 GitHub and BitBucket
GitHub provides a free service that allows you to host a repository and share it with the public (private access is available for a fee). BitBucket provides a similar service. These services serve your central copy, which other collaborators can clone, make changes to, then push commits to.
8.5 Cloning a GitHub Project
For this exercise, we’ve set up a GitHub repository at https://github.com/SheffieldR/git-workshop. In this exercise, you’ll use GitHub to “fork” the repository, add your name to the README.md file and submit a pull request. This is the normal flow for collaboration with
8.5.1 Getting a GitHub Account
To use GitHub, you’ll need an account. You can sign up for one at https://github.com/join. Once you have an account you can create repositories.
8.5.2 Forking the Repository
When you want to contribute to a repository, you won’t normally be allowed to send changes straight to it. Instead, you have to take a copy of the repository and make changes on the copy. Then, you ask the maintainer of the original repository to adopt your changes. This process is called “forking” because you’re creating a fork in the project’s timeline. The maintainer will then “merge” the two timelines back into one.
To fork our repository, visit https://github.com/SheffieldR/git-workshop and click the “Fork” button. This will create a copy of the repository in your account. The repository will be recorded as a fork, linking to the original repository.
8.5.3 Cloning the Repository with RStudio
To get started, create a new project in RStudio. This time, choose the “Version Control” option, then select the Git option.
On your GitHub project fork, copy the “Clone URL” and paste it into the Git repository URL in the RStudio Git window.
Click the Create Project button to check out the remote copy.
8.5.4 Making changes
Once RStudio has checked the project out, it will automatically generate a project file and .gitignore
file. These files can be ignored for the exercise. Open the README.md
file from the Files panel.
Make some changes to the README.md file and commit them using the Git panel, going through the same steps as before.
8.5.5 Add a New R File (Optional)
If you wish, you can also add a new file and write some R code. Don’t forget to add it to Git and save the changes.
8.5.6 Pushing Your Changes
You’re now ready to push your changes to your forked copy of the repository. First, open the History window from the Git panel.
The overview shows that your copy of the repository is ahead of the “origin” - you’ve made changes that aren’t saved remotely yet. Close the Review Changes window and then click the Push button in the Git panel.
After some time, your changes are now available remotely on your fork. You can verify your push worked by checking the History in RStudio.
The “origin” and local histories are the same; the remote branch has “caught up” to your changes.
8.5.7 Making a Pull Request
Go to your repository on GitHub. You should see your changes to the README.md
file in the project overview.
Click the “Pull Requests” link on the right hand side of the project.
Click the “New Pull Request” button to create a pull request for your changes.
You’ll see all the differences that you’re proposing the maintainer integrates with the repository. Make sure you haven’t accidentally included any superfluous files. If you’re happy with the changes, click the “Make Pull Request” button.
You can now add a title and description that motivates your suggested changes.

git-clean - Remove untracked files from the working tree
git clean [-d] [-f] [-i] [-n] [-q] [-e <pattern>] [-x | -X] [--] <path>...
Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not under version control, starting from the current directory.
Normally, only files unknown to Git are removed, but if the -x option is specified, ignored files are also removed. This can, for example, be useful to remove all build products.
If any optional <path>... arguments are given, only those paths are affected.
-d
Remove untracked directories in addition to untracked files. If an untracked directory is managed by a different Git repository, it is not removed by default. Use -f option twice if you really want to remove such a directory.
-f, --force
If the Git configuration variable clean.requireForce is not set to false, git clean will refuse to run unless given -f, -n or -i.
-i, --interactive
Show what would be done and clean files interactively. See (lqInteractive mode(rq for details.
-n, --dry-run
Don(cqt actually remove anything, just show what would be done.
-q, --quiet
Be quiet, only report errors, but not the files that are successfully removed.
-e <pattern>, --exclude=<pattern>
In addition to those found in .gitignore (per directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, also consider these patterns to be in the set of the ignore rules in effect.
-x
Don(cqt use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore rules given with -e options. This allows removing all untracked files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in conjunction with git reset) to create a pristine working directory to test a clean build.
-X
Remove only files ignored by Git. This may be useful to rebuild everything from scratch, but keep manually created files.
When the command enters the interactive mode, it shows the files and directories to be cleaned, and goes into its interactive command loop.
The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends with a single >, you can pick only one of the choices given and type return, like this:
*** Commands *** 1: clean 2: filter by pattern 3: select by numbers 4: ask each 5: quit 6: help What now> 1
You also could say c or clean above as long as the choice is unique.
The main command loop has 6 subcommands.
clean
Start cleaning files and directories, and then quit.
filter by pattern
This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an "Input ignore patterns>>" prompt. You can input space-seperated patterns to exclude files and directories from deletion. E.g. "*.c *.h" will excludes files end with ".c" and ".h" from deletion. When you are satisfied with the filtered result, press ENTER (empty) back to the main menu.
select by numbers
This shows the files and directories to be deleted and issues an "Select items to delete>>" prompt. When the prompt ends with double >> like this, you can make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. If the second number in a range is omitted, all remaining items are selected. E.g. "7-" to choose 7,8,9 from the list. You can say * to choose everything. Also when you are satisfied with the filtered result, press ENTER (empty) back to the main menu.
ask each
This will start to clean, and you must confirm one by one in order to delete items. Please note that this action is not as efficient as the above two actions.
quit
This lets you quit without do cleaning.
help
Show brief usage of interactive git-clean.
Part of the git(1) suite


Let’s imagine that you are not an EDA student, facilitator or teacher (let’s face it, if you read this chances are you are). You have never heard of HTML, CSS and JS and you really want to understand what they are. All three of them build a lot of web pages that you navigate through every day. I will not be original here and use "the house analogy" to describe relationships between them.
HTML is all the heavy stuff. Bricks, wood, everything that is needed on a construction site. With HTML we would lay foundations, build the walls and roof. Once all that is done, we’d hire an interior designer. That’s CSS. Painting the walls, making the flooring, adding some furniture. JS would come next and make the magic happen. Sound system, maybe a game console, Alexa and Siri, maybe an alarm and cameras (I come from Europe, we like to be safe;).
JS is like any other language. If you tried learning some, you know that first you start understanding when others speak, and after awfully long and painful time you start speaking yourself. With lots of mistakes at first, getting better and better every day as you train. JS is the same. And as any other language (besides Arabic), reads from top to bottom, from left to right. That’s control flow. What can break it is conditionals and loops.
I will take an example of my dog to describe a loop. When he wants to play he brings one of his toys to me (var i = 0) and I throw it for him. He runs, catches it and brings it back to me (i++). I again throw, he again runs, catches and brings it back. If it was up to him this would be an infinite loop… He never gets tired. Fortunately I do, so when I’m done, I break the loop and we finally continue with our lives (my dog actually does not, he still tries to play).
The DOM
Let’s say that for some unknown and possibly wrong reason you have decided to write all of your code in one line. Unlike most of the people, the DOM is a tool that will make sense of it. It reads the code, looks for logic and builds a tree of parents, children and siblings out of it. The DOM allows us to access all of the elements on the page and manipulate them using devtools.
Accessing data in arrays and in objects
Accessing data in arrays is a pretty straight forward task. Quoting Kirupa, an array „helps store, retrieve, and manipulate a collection of data”. Here is an example of an array:
var weekDays = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]
Each of the strings in this array has an index, starting with 0 assigned to Monday. To access the strings we need to use their indexes:
weekDays[3] will access "Thursday”.
Voila!
There are a few ways of accessing data in the objects. Two of them are fairly similar. Let’s take a simple object like this.
var person = { name: "Joanna", age: 57, //obviously !== true interests: "music" }
We can access property of this object using dot notation like this: person.interests returns "music"
or bracket notation like this
person["age"] returns 57
Functions
Moving onto the functions. Functions are reusable pieces of code. Once defined can be called when we want the magic to happen.
I’m out of batteries. Writing this blog post took me so much time, as a result I can’t elaborate on functions:)

Introduction to some novel accurate hybrid methods of geostatistical and machine learning methods for spatial predictive modelling. It contains two commonly used geostatistical methods, two machine learning methods, four hybrid methods and two averaging methods. For each method, two functions are provided. One function is for assessing the predictive errors and accuracy of the method based on cross-validation. The other one is for generating spatial predictions using the method.

Babcock Sex Tape: Nigerians Divided As University Expels Student In Viral Video
by Emmanuel EgobiambuNigerians are divided as Babcock University, Remo, Ogun State, expelled the student in the viral sex tape video, Concise News reports.
Babcock University had in a statement described the viral sex tape of ex-students as a “sad commentary on the moral decadence that has assailed our society at large.”
It added that it is a behaviour alien and unethical to the values of the University, saying that the school has zero-tolerance for such an act.
“According to the girl, the incident took place in April this year during school vacation, when she visited the boy at the hospital,” the statement added. “The act did not take place in the University.”
The University said it remains committed to highest moral standards and will be a standard-bearer for quality education in character, learning and service to humanity.
It also adds, “We are happy to be saddled with this challenge as an institution because it propels us to contribute to the greatness of this nation, and the security of bright future for our children.”
The expulsion of the student by Babcock University over the leaked sex tape that has gone viral has drawn parallel comments from Nigerians.
Some said the school was morally wrong to expel the student over the video, adding that the act was not committed in the varsity’s premises.
According to them, the student involved should seek legal action against the management of the University for the expulsion.
Others, however, commended Babcock University for protecting its name, adding that the student deserved to be expelled from school over the viral sex tape.
Below are some of the reactions to the leaked sex video of the Babcock University student:
