| Level Exporting |
|
The following section provides information and a tutorial on the export process from 3ds Max to the .jms format which is used to compile a Halo game level. |
| Exporting The Level |
|
The following procedures and example images
demonstrate using the Blitzkrieg plug-in in 3ds Max to export the .jms file
for the level. The .jms file is used by Tool to compile the level
data into the .scenario and .scenario_structure_bsp data tags. It is these data tags will be manipulated to create a working multiplayer level that will then be compiled into a .map cache file and run in Halo. |
|
Exporting the level using Blitzkrieg: In 3ds Max open the tutorial.max file that was created in the previous tutorials. 1) To export the level using the Blitzkrieg exporter plug-in follow the procedures below: a) Click on File and select Export. The Select File to Export window will appear. b) Select the same directory in which the tutorial.max file exists (Halo Custom Edition\data\levels\test\tutorial\models), this is the directory created in the section Creation of a Level Directory under the Creating a Level section in Level Creation - Part 1. c) In the Save as type: pull down select Blitzkrieg Model Exporter (*.JMS,*.JMP). d) In the File name: field enter the name tutorial.jms. e) Click on Save. The level should have exported successfully. The first image further explains the above procedures.

|
Troubleshooting the Export Process |
|
|
The following table outlines some common problems or errors that may occur when exporting the .jms for the level and provides suggestions or solutions that should help in the successful export of the level using the Blitzkrieg exporter plug-in. |
| Problem or Error | Suggestions or Solution |
| When exporting using Blitzkrieg an error dialog appears that says "There was no geometry to export". | Make sure that the level has a reference frame. |
| When exporting using Blitzkrieg an error dialog appears that says "There was no geometry to export". | If the level has a reference frame, make sure that there is valid geometry present and that the geometry is attached to the reference frame. |
| When exporting using Blitzkrieg the .jms file does not appear to have exported and been saved. | Make sure that the .jms file is being saved to the correct directory. |
| When exporting with Blitzkrieg using an existing .jms file name, the .jms file does not appear to have saved or updated the existing file. | Make sure that the existing .jms file is not set to Read-only. |
| When exporting using Blitzkrieg 3ds Max crashes. |
This is usually related to some strange geometry construction error or illegal material assignment. Try the following steps below to track down the error. 1) Systematically unlink objects from the reference frame and try to export until the level exports successfully. This can help determine which object and related geometry are causing export problems. 2) If an object has a Multi/Sub-Object applied to it, make sure that it is applied to the entire object. 3) Make sure that all faces have a Multi/Sub-Object Sub-Material or Standard material applied to them. 4) Make sure that the mesh geometry does not have isolated (unused) vertices. 5) Make sure that there are no double faces or polygons (faces or polygons that occupy the exact same space and share the same vertices). 6) Check for double edges or illegal faces or polygons.
|
| Conclusion to Level Exporting |
|
The level geometry has now been
successfully exported and is ready to be compiled in preparation for it to go through the
processes that
will get it running in Halo.
As previously mentioned, a completed version or example version of the level created in the tutorial sections can be found under the "Halo\data\levels\test\tutorial_examples" directory. The source and related materials have been provided as a reference to aid in the learning process. The successfully exported tutorial.jms file for the example level has also been made available. Once the user has successfully completed the export process they can proceed to the next section Level Compilation.

Why Should I Use CentOS Linux?
    CentOS uses a very stable (and oftentimes more mature) version of its software and because the release cycle is longer, applications do not need to be updated as often. This allows for developers and major corporations who utilize it to save money as it decreases costs associated with additional development time.
    Standard OS
    With a standard OS underlying your workloads, you can easily move them across environments—where it makes sense for your business. Red Hat Enterprise Linux gives you a consistent, stable foundation across hybrid cloud deployments, along with built-in manageability and integration with the broader Red Hat management and automation portfolio.
    Security

SELinux is an access control mechanism that can enforce rules on processes and files, based on policies that you define. One of the most beneficial features is that it reduces vulnerabilities on privilege escalation attacks; If a process is compromised, the attacker would only have access to the normal functions of the process, and only the files that process has been configured to have access to. Because CentOS is more secure out of the box, it is preferred as the starting point as less initial configuration is needed from the start. CentOS regularly pulls backports (or updates) directly from RedHat and pushes those nightly updates out quickly.

Package Management - CentOS uses the YUM (Yellowdog Updater Modified) package manager to keep the system up to date.

A Wealth of Documentation
    Because CentOS is a widely used platform throughout the web hosting world, it has become the de facto industry standard. Another of the benefits of its wide use is the amount of information and documentation available for it.
    Management Panel Support

CentOS can support multiple management platforms including cPanel, InterWorx, WebMin, DirectAdmin, Spacewalk, CWP, Plesk, ISPConfig, Virtualmin, Vesta CP, and multiple other platforms. These management panels make it easy to host multiple sites on the server as well as keeping all the core processes and server procedures easily managed.
>
Which Image Should I Download?
Before starting installing CentOS, you must download an installation ISO image. Images are available from the CentOS website.
Installer
DVD ISO
This image contains the installer as well as a set of all packages that can be installed during an interactive installation. This is the recommended download for most users.
Everything ISO
Contains the installer and all packages available for CentOS. This ISO image can be used to install the system with extra packages (using a Kickstart file and specifying extra packages in the %packages section); it can also be used to set up a local mirror for downloading packages. Note that this image is very large and requires an at least 16 GB flash drive or other storage.
Minimal ISO
Contains the installer and a minimal set of packages which can be used to install a very basic CentOS system. You can then use Yum to download additional packages from update repositories.
The images listed on the page linked above are for the AMD64/Intel 64 (x86_64) architecture, which is the CentOS basic distribution. Images for additional architectures such as 64-bit ARM (aarch64) or IBM Power Systems (ppc64), as well as cloud and container images, network install media (only the installer, requires a local package mirror) and live images, are available for download from the CentOS Wiki download page.
Similar tools are available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. You can also use the installation program to verify the media when starting the installation.
Desktop Environments Packages of CentOS Linux
CentOS Does not come with two versions as desktop and server Like Ubuntu (Ubuntu has two versions, Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop), Only Duration the installation user can decide whether wants to install the desktop or Not. And It is quite normal to install a CentOS Server with a Desktop.
CentOS is shipped with the default desktop environment GNOME .
GNOME is the most popular environment in the latest distributions of Linux.
Learn Basic Commands
When operating a Linux OS, you need to use a shell — an interface that gives you access to the operating system’s services. Most Linux distributions use a graphic user interface (GUI) as their shell, mainly to provide ease of use for their users.
CentOS linux Commands
CentOS Linux commands are nothing special from Linux commands they are the same so what you are going to learn here will work in every Linux system you may use, try over and over we are learning at the end and this is the most important part of it,
VIM
The command line is all about editing text files and there is no better tool than Vim for this purpose.
Vim is actually a very old program that can be traced back to the original vi developed for Unix systems in 1976. It preserves some archaic features but has been constantly improved over the years and can be personalized with many plugins and options.
The initial learning curve is notoriously steep and most Linux newbies have been trapped in Vim at the start of their journey, with no clue how to get out.
However, Vim can be incredibly useful once you learn some of its shortcuts and becomes much more than a simple text editor. You can configure it for example as a very fast coding tool.
TOP
Just type top in the terminal and you’ll see a dynamic list of all active processes and threads that can be ordered based on various values, such as the CPU or memory usage.
It is a great troubleshooting tool on servers that experience heavy load and allows processes to be killed directly from its interface.
YUM
In all distributions from the RedHat family, yum serves as the package manager of choice. It is a powerful tool that handles the installation of new packages, as well as their update or removal.
Yum is available by default on all CentOS systems but the software selection in the initial repositories is quite poor. This reflects the RedHat philosophy of emphasizing security and stability, by only offering packages that have been thoroughly tested.
As a result, the official repos provide older software, several versions behind the latest one, for example php 5.4
System administrators usually configure other repositories in order to install and update newer packages.
One of the most popular is epel-release, which can be installed as a package and includes many useful tools. Other common choices are the remi or ius repositories for php and its associated extensions.
Most software developers also maintain dedicated repositories that provide the latest versions of their packages.
NETSTAT
Netstat is very useful command line tool that shows network connections and statistics, as well as open ports and sockets.
Executing it with no arguments will display a lot of information, so you will have to learn how to control the output using flags.
System administrators typically use nestat to view the processes that listen on certain ports, here is an example of the flags used for this purpose and the result: nestat - tulpn
The Basics of Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Linux can be very confusing due to all of the moving parts. This doc will aim to cover as much as possible while still being understandable. If you believe something is missing or could be improved, please submit an issue to help to try and get this to be as complete as possible.
ifconfig
ifconfig (interface configurator) command is use to initialize an interface, assign IP Address to interface and enable or disable interface on demand. With this command you can view IP Address and Hardware / MAC address assign to interface and also MTU (Maximum transmission unit) size.
>
>
Assigning an IP Address and Gateway to interface on the fly
>
To enable or disable specific Interface
>
>
PING
PING (Packet INternet Groper) command is the best way to test connectivity between two nodes. Whether it is Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). Ping use ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) to communicate to other devices. You can ping host name of ip address using below command.
>
>
TRACEROUTE
traceroute is a network troubleshooting utility which shows number of hops taken to reach destination also determine packets travelling path. Below we are tracing route to global DNS server IP Address and able to reach destination also shows path of that packet is travelling.
>
NETSTAT
Netstat (Network Statistic) command display connection info, routing table information etc. To displays routing table information use option as -r.
Commands and processes
Anything mentioned should have their main page looked at for more details. Additionally, if there is an issue with a graphical tool that does not display an error try running it through the command line.
Installations Failures
If the installation fails, the messages from these files are consolidated into /tmp/anaconda-tb-identifier, where identifier is a random string.
After successful installation, by default, these files will be copied to the installed system under the directory /var/log/anaconda/. However, if installation is unsuccessful, or if the inst.nosave=all or inst.nosave=logs options are used when booting the installation system, these logs will only exist in the installation program’s RAM disk. This means they are not saved permanently and will be lost once the system is powered down. To store them permanently, copy those files to another system on the network by using scp on the system running the installation program, or copy them to a mounted storage device (such as an USB flash drive).
Systems with some video cards have trouble booting into the graphical installation program. If the installation program does not run using its default settings, it attempts to run in a lower resolution mode. If that still fails, the installation program attempts to run in text mode.
There are several possible solutions to display issues, most of which involve specifying custom boot options.

Section Item 7.1 (FAQ Category One)
What is CentOS Linux?
CentOS Linux provides a free and open source computing platform to anyone who wishes to use it. CentOS Linux releases are built from publicly available open source source code provided by Red Hat, Inc for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CentOS conforms fully with Red Hat, Inc's redistribution policies and aims to be functionally compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. CentOS mainly changes packages to remove trademarked vendor branding and artwork.
CentOS Linux does not contain Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Linux; nor does it have any of their certifications, although it is built from the same source code as the Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Section Item 7.2 (FAQ Category One)
Many RPMs still contain the name redhat, rhel, or rh. Shouldn't these be changed?
The upstream vendor is using open source (mostly GPL) software in their business model. They take software that other people write (Gnome.org, X.org, KDE.org, OpenOffice.org to name a few). They repackage the source files into RPM format for redistribution. Because they chose an open source model to obtain the software they distribute, they must provide their source code to others. That is how the GPL works. The upstream vendor provides much added value by creating the Source RPMS and distributing them. They also fix problems in software and provide feedback to the software developers ... this is what makes open source software work.
Section Item 7.3 (FAQ Category One)
What is CentOS Stream?
CentOS Stream is a developer-forward distribution that aims to help community members, Red Hat partners and others take full advantage of open source innovation within a more stable and predictable Linux ecosystem. Its content is what Red Hat intends to be in the next update of a stable RHEL release. It is free for anyone to download, use, study, modify, and redistribute (with the exception of the CentOS trademarks, which are owned by Red Hat). CentOS Stream is a distribution that community members can use to take advantage of a stable ABI/API for development and testing, while still seeing some updates on an accelerated basis.

This is an example of using a simple Bootstrap modal and AngularJS for login purposes. Although this example works you should probably use Angular UI for large projects which has a more "Angular way" of doing modals.
Log in: By default the UserService POSTs username and password to /api/login
Log out: By default the UserService GETs /api/logout
(optional) Status: By default the UserService GETs /api/status. May be useful for auto-login on page reload or keeping sessions alive (set a timer and poll it).
Your backend should return 200 and a json encoded user object on successful login. Otherwise return 401.
Use the following snippet in your custom controllers to watch for user changes
$scope.$watch(UserService.isLoggedIn, function(isLoggedIn) {
$scope.user = UserService.getUser();
});

It uses the class variable deviceIsReachable to determine whether to call asynPortDriver::connect(), which in turn calls pasynManager::exceptionConnect() to signal that the driver is connected to the underlying hardware. Derived classes can override this method if they need to handle connect() calls in a more complex way. For example, with a network camera that can be temporarily unreachable the driver could attempt to connect to the camera each time that connect() is called.

The first question faced by newly married couple is their filing status.They have two choices: married filing seperatly or married filing jointly.
According to Turbotax's Blog, "There are pros and cons for each. Couples who are married and filing jointly, for instance, may enjoy lower tax rates on their combined income. Married filing jointly also makes each of you responsible for the accuracy of the return: both spouses must sign. Generally speaking, there are more tax benefits to filing jointly, but there may reasons to file separately.
If one spouse is self-employed and the other doesn’t want to be connected to the business, filing separately may be an option. Filing separately might also make sense if one spouse owes income taxes and it would threaten the other spouse’s refund to file jointly."
According to TurboTax, there are many different pros and cons

VSTGUI
4.1
Graphical User Interface Framework not only for VST plugins
|
VSTGUI 4.1 includes a new VST3 inline UI editor which makes UI design easier than before.
It automatically supports the following VST3 features:
Before using the inline UI editor, you must make sure that you use the Steinberg::Vst::EditController class as a base of your own edit controller and that you have used the Steinberg::Vst::Parameter class or any subclass of it for your parameters.
Otherwise the inline UI editor won't work properly.
Next you have to add two files to your project:
After that you have to alter your project settings to add a preprocessor definition to your debug build:
As last step you have to modify your edit controller class to overwrite the createView() method:
And make sure to include the vst3editor.h header.
Now you can build your plug-in and start your preferred VST3 host to start designing your user interface.
If you now open your plug-in editor you will see a blank editor. To enter the UI editor you have to make a right click on it and choose "Open UIDescription Editor".
If you've used the Parameter class provided by the VST3 SDK, you will get automatic parameter bindings between the controls of your editor and the parameters in your VST Edit Controller.
The only thing you need to do is to declare the ids of the parameters as tags in the Tags editor (or use the 'Sync Parameter Tags' command in the Edit Menu of the Toolbar) and set the tags of your controls to these ids. After you've done this your VST Edit Controller will receive the beginEdit(..)/performEdit(..)/endEdit(..) calls when the user changes the controls and if the host automates the parameter the control will also reflect these changes.
As an addition you can modify your VST Edit Controller to return specific parameter objects in the getParameterObject(int32 paramID) method for UI only needs, which are not parameters of your VST audio processor. This way you can store view settings like the tab which is open when the user closes the editor so that you can restore it when the user opens the editor again. You can look at the sources of the included 'uidescription test' project how this works.
The Editor has mainly five sections:
All actions you do here are undoable.
The toolbar currently contains the two menus "File" and "Edit", the editing checkbox and the grid settings.
TODO: describe menu items
The File Menu contains:
The Edit Menu contains:
TODO
The View Attribute Editor shows the attributes of the selected views. If multiple views are selected it only shows those attributes which applies to all selected views. On the left side are the names of the attributes and on the right side their values. The values are editable.
You can enter a search term in the search field so that only those attributes are shown which matches the search string.
The most left list shows all the templates. You can rename a template with a double click on it.
If a template is selected, it is shown in the Template Editor and all sub views are listed in the next list. You can select these sub views and if the selected sub view is a container view, its subviews are listed in the next list, etc.
You can alter the selection of the Template Editor via double click.
You can move the selected view up and down in the hierarchy order via Command-Up and Command-Down.
This section contains five subsections :
This section shows all views which are registered with UIDescription. You can register your own views, see VSTGUI::IViewCreator.
To insert a view, select it and drag it into the template editor. While dragging the view over the template editor, the container view will be highlighted which will be the parent of the view if you drop it there.
Here you define Tags for your controls. The left column describes the name of the Tag and the right column is the numerical value of the tag as used in VSTGUI::CControl.
With the + button you add a new tag and with the - button you remove the selected tag.
TODO: New Screenshot
Here you define custom colors.
With the + button you add a new color and with the - button you remove the selected color.
TODO: New Screenshot
Here you define your bitmaps.
The path is the path to the bitmap.
The Nine Part Tiled checkbox indicates if this is a VSTGUI::CNinePartTiledBitmap. And the l/t/r/b values describes its offsets.
With the + button you add a new bitmap and with the - button you remove the selected bitmap.
Here you describe your custom fonts.
With the + button you add a new font and with the - button you remove the selected font.
If you need to create custom views, you can implement the VSTGUI::VST3EditorDelegate interface in your edit controller class. The createCustomView method will be called if you set the 'custom-view-name' attribute in one of the views.
Another way to use your own views is to register them at runtime with the UIViewFactory. This method requires more work but has the advantage that the view will be listed like the built-in views and changing attributes work on the fly. See VSTGUI::IViewCreator.
Sub-Controllers are useful if you need finer control of your views. You can define sub-controllers for views with the 'sub-controller' attribute. Sub-Controllers will be created via the VSTGUI::VST3EditorDelegate interface. The Sub-Controller object is now owned by the view and will be destroyed when the view is destroyed.
TODO: describe nested subcontrollers
The VSTGUI::DelegationController is a helper class if you don't want to control every aspect of the views by forwarding every call to its parent controller. You only overwrite the methods you need in your inherited class.
If you want to be notified about value changes for controls in your sub-controller but don't want to loose the Parameter Binding you can add your sub-controller as dependent of the control:
Templates are root views where you can group controls in logical entities. You can embed templates into other templates.
Some views like the VSTGUI::UIViewSwitchContainer shows different templates depending on a control value.


Dead Poets Society, starring Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, Josh Charles and Gale Hansen. Directed by Peter Weir. 1989.
Reviewed by John Carroll.
The "hero" movie is very common among movie buffs, however, most of these films are only about sappy and cheap sentimental value. However, the "hero" films that tend to stand out are the ones made to perfection. Rocky and Rudy are two fine examples, and one more to add to such a prestigious list is Dead Poets Society, in which a group of boys become men throughout the trials and tribulations and school. Terrific performances are turned in by such a young cast and Robin Williams once again adds his unique sense of humor and drama to this film.
With the teen drama so burnt out these days following catrastrophes like Drive Me Crazy and Teaching Mrs. Tingle, Dead Poets Society stands out like The Blair Witch Project among the summer blockbusters. The actors are all mainly young and in their first big screen roles, and all turn in terrific performance. With Robin Williams starring, the movie should obviously flow around him, yet it does not. Williams starts the film off strong, but then gives it off to Hawke, Leonard, Charles and Hansen, just to name a few.
This young cast should not have been expected to do much, but even so, they go above and beyond the line of duty. Such an emotional film calls for believable acting, among other things, otherwise, it just looks like another sentimental piece of trash. The two main roles for the youngsters are those of Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard) and Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke). The two play opposite ends of the rainbow, with Perry acting as the opportunistic student turned actor and Anderson playing the pessimistic youngster who wants to let everything out, but turns back to the old way of doing things. However, the Dead Poets Society that is formed by the boys turn out the real people beneath. They truly enact the theme of the film to "Seize the Day," otherwise known as Carpe Diem.
The rest of the cast is terrific, and perhaps the best performance of them all, comes from Gale Hansen who provides a stunning sense of humor to a film that may have suffered without it. Despite being such a meaningful film, Hansen is able to portray the sense of youth among all of the boys becuase despite the true intentions of the film, the setting is still in a high school.
Dead Poets Society also proves why Peter Weir always tends to deliver in his films. After seeing The Truman Show, I personally did not think Weir could outdo that performance, and he comes oh-so-close with Dead Poets Society. He consistently delivers in his films, ranging from uniqueness with The Truman Show to thrilling us with Witness to putting everything into perspective with Dead Poets Society. Weir exemplifies good cinema and Dead Poets Society is a definite for even the mildest of Weir fans.
Boiling down, Dead Poets Society finishes up strong. As the film progresses, the ending becomes pretty predictable, yet Weir is able to concentrate on the effects it has on the characters, not the actual event. This once again enforces the whole point of the film, instead of trying to play off a sentimental finale.
Dead Poets Society ranks high up on a must-see list, and for very good reason. It provides all different aspects of entertainment and is very hard to find one bad point with it. When you finish viewing Dead Poets Society, only one thought should be left in your head:
Carpe Diem.

2. Purpose of the EnArticle English Article Mind-Module
EnArticle has the purpose of selecting the definite article "the" or the indefinite article "a" to be used before an English noun in a thought being generated by the artificial inteligence.
3. Function of the EnArticle mind-module
The Article module was the first architectural add-on to the primitive, proof-of-concept AI Mind as described in the AI4U textbook of artificial intelligence. Prior to 2008, when the Article module was introduced, there were only enough modules in the AI Mind to demonstrate thinking, and the AI software did not function properly until the last major bugs were eliminated from MindForth in January of 2008.
The proof-of-concept AI Mind could think only in terms of
plural nouns without the articles "a" or "the". It is
difficult for a human user to talk only about plural nouns
with the AI. The user feels a natural desire to discuss
a single instance of an otherwise plural topic. Therefore
the first step in expanding a primitive
AI Mind is to add
a group of features that include the use of singular forms
for nouns and verbs, and the use of intransitive verbs of
being and becoming for the discussion of both singular
and plural topics.
The AI Mind must have a reason to select "a" or "the" or even to use any article at all. In AI software we must computationalize the mental phenomena that a biological brain-mind seems to achieve so effortlessly, but which are so difficult to achieve in a computer emulating the human brain. In the AI, we will use software flag variables to perform the function of associative tag neurons connecting one concept or brain-module to another in the human brain-mind.

5. Variables for the EnArticle (English article) mind-module
$anset -- sets "an" before a vowel at the start of a noun.
$subjnum -- (subject number) -- to keep indefinite article "a" from being used with plural nouns.
$us1 --
the upstream noun number one for
EnArticle to keep track of.
$usn -- an upstream number-variable to coordinate the rotation of the us1-us7 variables in their role as the holders of noun-concepts mentioned so recently that they warrant the insertion of the definite article "the" by the Enarticle() module.
$usx -- a transfer variable for InStantiate to transfer the concept number of an incoming noun to whichever us1-us7 upstream variable is up next in the rotation of up to seven recently mentioned noun-concepts, so that the EnArticle module may insert the definite article "the" before any noun currently under discussion in a conversation or an internal thought.
6. Troubleshooting of EnArticle Module with
NLU
6.1.a. Symptom: (Something goes wrong.)
6.1.b. Solution: (AI Mind
Maintainer devises solution.)
It is easier to debug the EnArticle module in Forth or in Perl than in JavaScript, because the MindForth source code is not so high level as the JSAI (JavaScript Artificial Intelligence). MindForth also has more diagnostic routines that show the AI mind maintainer what is happening deep inside the AI software when anything goes wrong. Forth is also more forgiving of mistakes than JavaScript is. MindForth will usually run and display problem behavior if a programmer makes a mistake, whereas a JavaScript program oftentimes will not run at all with a mistake in its code.
Whether in Forth, JavaScript or Perl, the EnArticle module leaves traces of its behavior visible in the Diagnostic display mode. A programmer can examine the psi concept flags to make sure that the proper associations are forming among concepts, and to see what residual activations are left on concepts after the EnArticle module has performed its work.
7. Future Development of EnArticle Module with
NLU
Some new variables for keeping track of the definite article "the" will make it radically simpler for EnArticle to select "a" or "the" as an article before a noun.
$us1 -- the UpStream noun number one for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us2 -- the UpStream noun number two for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us3 -- the UpStream noun number three for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us4 -- the UpStream noun number four for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us5 -- the UpStream noun number five for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us6 -- the UpStream noun number six for EnArticle to keep track of;
$us7 -- the UpStream noun number seven for EnArticle to keep track of.
These "upstream" variables will perform their duty on a rotating basis. That is, we Mind Maintainers will let the AI Mind mentally keep track of up to seven nouns which deserve to be designated with the article "the" because the noun is under current discussion. It will not matter what the ordinal number of each "us" variable is. It will only matter that if the "us" variable contains the Psy concept-number of a noun currently under discussion, and then the AI Mind may use "the" to refer to "the concept" or "the thing" or "the item."
When the "upstream" system is in place, the EnArticle module will become easier for AI programmers to code. By default, if the article "the" is not being used, it is a safe bet to use the indefinite article "a" with a single noun. For instance, if the AI is not saying "I see the dog," it makes sense to say "I see a dog." Once a dog-centered discussion starts, it becomes "the dog".
There are other, substandard words which are variants on a standard word, and it may be possible to make such words be recognizable but not recallable.

Virginia psychiatric hospitals run short on open beds
CATAWBA, Va. (AP) - Data from health officials in Virginia say the state’s psychiatric hospitals have been operating at 90% capacity or higher for the past three years.
The Daily Press reports Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources Daniel Carey is seeking nearly $20 million over the next two years, on top of more than $4 million this year, to add 56 beds at Catawba State Hospital.
Mental health subcommittee chairman Sen. Creigh Deeds disagrees with the proposal. He’s been fighting since his son died in 2013 to increase efforts to help people struggling with mental illness before they need a hospital.
The state legislature has promised more funding for community mental health services. Data from the federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration say Virginians get less community care than most Americans.

SDEDownloadManager
is a HTTP download management library, which is written with Swift and is compatible with Objective-C.
The same name class SDEDownloadManager
provides download management features. And, a UITableViewController subclass, DownloadListController
, coordinates with SDEDownloadManager
to display download list, manage download tasks, and track download activity.
API Reference: Xcode editor doesn’t display document of property or method in third library when coding in Swift file, you will need this.
Main Classes
SDEDownloadManager [Document]
- Basic download management: download/pause/resume/stop/restart/delete.
- Sort download list with predefine types and powerful predicate.
- Control download count: it is as you think exactly.
- Track download activity: download progress and speed.
- Cache thumbnails for files.
- Handle part authentication: Basic, Digest, and server trust.
- Handle app force quit in downloading and you have to do nothing.
DownloadListController [Document]
- Select content to display:
- Custom cell content. All elements in the cell are customizable, some examples:
Except textLabel, other elements could be hidden. You also could use custom UITableViewCell. There is only one cell available for now.
- Custom manage features in cell swipe and multiple selection, these features are disabled by default;
- Adjust max download count by
adjustButtonItem
; - Sort list by
sortButtonItem
. - Cheat sheets for DownloadListController
SliderAlertController [Document]
A UIViewController subclass like UIAlertController to display a slider, allows to display custom symbol for special vaule, like ∞
for 0 above.
URLPickerController [Document]
A UITableViewController subclass to pick URL strings. In demo, I use it to pick files for DownloadListController
to download.
Requirements
- iOS 8.0/Swift 3.1
Installation
Support CocoaPods and Carthage: Installation Guide.
After installation, import SDEDownloadManager into your project:
// In Swift file
import SDEDownloadManager
// In Objective-C file
@import SDEDownloadManager;
What you need to know before start
SDEDownloadManager
maintains a downloadList
for all tasks, which is a [[String]]
and is designed for UITableView.
Here is the only method to create a SDEDownloadManager object:
static func manager(identifier: String, manualMode: Bool = false) -> SDEDownloadManager
SDEDownloadManager has two sort modes: manual and predefined mode(include: .addTime
, .fileName
, .fileSize
, .fileType
). The two sort modes can switch to each other freely in sortListBy(type:order:)
. Except for obvious sort difference, what’s difference between with two modes?
Download new file. In predefined mode, you just need to offer download URL, but in manual mode, you must also offer its insert location in
downloadList
.A section in UITableView with
.plain
style can’t be distinguished from last section if it doesn’t have a title, so in manual mode, when you insert a new section, it must have a title.
Although you can switch between with two sort modes freely, switching from manual mode to predefined mode will lose all section titles, and switching from predefined mode to manual mode will integrate all tasks into one section with a placeholder title, so choose sort mode based on your usage scenario discreetly.
In addition, in predefined mode, when downloading a new file, its name and type maybe change, and its file size is known after its meta info is fetched, so SDEDownloadManager change its sort type to .addTime
automatically if it’s not.
Localization
Supported localizable languages for now: English, Simplified Chinese.

Including Categorical Variables as Predictors
To this point, we only know how to include quantitative variables into OLS regression models. However, it turns out you can use a fairly easy trick to include categorical variables as independent variables in OLS regression models. By including categorical variables as independent variables, we expand considerably the range of things that we can do with OLS regression models. The most difficult part of this trick is correctly interpreting your results.
Indicator variables
As an example, I am going to look at the relationship between religious affiliation and sexual frequency. To keep our example simple I am going to dichotomize the religious affiliation variable, which means I am going to collapse it into two categories, rather than the six categories in the dataset. I will use a simply dichotomy of “Not Religious/Religious.” In R, I can create this variable like so:
This is technically a boolean variable, which means it takes a TRUE or FALSE value. For our purposes, TRUE is a non-religious person.
We already know how to look at the relationship between sexual frequency and this dichotomized religious affiliation variable.  Hallelujah?
We can represent this same mean difference in a regression model framework by using an indicator variable. An indicator variable is a variable that only takes a value of zero or one. It takes a value of one when the observation is in the indicated category and a zero otherwise. Mathematically, we would say:
\[nonrelig_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if non-religious}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
The indicated category is the category which gets a one on the indicator variable. In this case the indicated category is non-religious. The reference category is the category that gets no indicator variable. In this case, that is just the religious group. Later on, we will see that this can become slightly more complicated. You can think of the indicator variable as an on/off switch where 1 indicates that it is “on” (i.e. the observation belongs to the indicated category) and 0 indicates that it is “off” (i.e. the observation does not belong to the indicated category).
What would happen if we put this indicator variable into a regression model predicting sexual frequency like so:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=b_0+b_1(nonrelig_i)\]
How would we interpret the slope and intercept for such a model? Figure 51 shows a scatterplot of this relationship.
Notice that all of the points align vertically either at the 0 or 1 on the x-axis. This is because the indicator variable can only take these two values. I have jittered points slightly to avoid overplotting. I have also plotted the means of the two groups in red dots and the OLS regression line for the scatterplot in blue. It turns out, that in order to be the best-fitting line, this OLS regression line must connect the two dots that represent the mean of each group.
What will the slope of this line be? If we go up “one unit” on the non-religious indicator variable we have gone from a religious person to a non-religious person and the change in predicted sexual frequency is equal to the mean difference of 11.5 between the groups. The intercept is given by the value at zero which is just given by the mean sexual frequency among the religious of 48.3. So, the OLS regression line should look like:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=48.3+11.5(nonrelig_i)\]
I can calculate these same numbers in R with the lm
command:
## (Intercept) noreligTRUE
## 48.33671 11.51191
The numbers are the same. More important than the numbers, however, is the interpretation of the numbers. The intercept is the mean of the dependent variable for the reference category. The slope is the mean difference between the reference category and the indicated category. In this case, I would say:
- Religious individuals have sex 48.3 times per year, on average.

Note that I can derive the sexual frequency of the non-religious from these two numbers by taking the value for the non-religious and adding the mean difference to find out that non-religious individuals have sex 59.8 times per year, on average.
Reversing the indicator variable
What if I switched my indicator variable so that the religious were indicated and the non-religious were the reference category?
\[relig_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if religious}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
Lets try it out in R and see (the !=
below is computer lingo for “not equal to”):
## (Intercept) religiousTRUE
## 59.84862 -11.51191
Lets compare the two models:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=48.3+11.5(nonrelig_i)\] \[\hat{frequency}_i=59.8-11.5(relig_i)\]
Both models give me the exact same information, but from the perspective of a different reference group. The first model tells me the mean sexual frequency of the religious (48.3) and how much more sex the non-religious have on average (11.5).  I can easily derive one model from the other, without actually having to calculate it in R. Therefore, which category you set as the reference category is really a matter of taste, rather than one of consequence. The results are the same either way.
Categorical variables with more than two categories
What if I have a categorical variable that has more than two categories? Lets expand the religious variable that I dichotomized back to its original scale. There are six different categories: Fundamentalist Protestant, Mainline Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Other, and None:
## Fund Protestant Mainline Protestant Catholic Jewish
## 556 529 507 39
## Other None
## 145 327
Lets look at the mean sexual frequency for each of these groups.
## Fund Protestant Mainline Protestant Catholic Jewish
## 49.6 44.2 49.2 39.8
## Other None
## 57.9 59.8
Figure 52 plots these means on a number line to get a visual display of the differences:
Nones and others clearly have much higher mean sexual frequency than the remaining religious groups and Jews have much lower mean sexual frequency. The three Christian groups cluster in the middle, although mainline protestants have a lower mean sexual frequency than the other two.
This plot also shows the mean differences between the groups, with fundamentalist Protestants set as the reference category. The vertical distances from the dotted red line (the mean of fundamentalist Protestants) give the mean differences between each religious group and fundamentalist Protestants.
We can use the same logic of indicator variables we developed above to represent the mean differences between groups observed here in a regression model framework. However, because we now have six categories, we will need five indicator variables. You always need one less indicator variable than the number of categories. The category which doesn’t get an indicator variable is your reference category. As per the graph above, I will make Fundamentalist Protestants my reference category. Therefore, I need one indicator variable for each of the other five categories:
\[main_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if main}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
\[catholic_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if catholic}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
\[jewish_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if jewish}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
\[other_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if other religion}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
\[none_i=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if no religion}\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}\]
Now lets put these variables into an OLS regression model:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=b_0+b_1(main_i)+b_2(catholic_i)+b_3(jewish_i)+b_4(other_i)+b_5(none_i)\]
We can figure out how all this works by getting the predicted value for the member of a specific group. That respondent should get a 1 for the variable where they are a member and a zero on all other variables. For example, a fundamentalist protestant should get a zero on all of these variables:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=b_0+b_1(0)+b_2(0)+b_3(0)+b_4(0)+b_5(0)=b_0\]
So, the intercept is the predicted value for fundamentalist Protestants. Similarly we could calculate the predicted value for mainline Protestants:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=b_0+b_1(1)+b_2(0)+b_3(0)+b_4(0)+b_5(0)=b_0+b_1\]
The difference between the two is \(b_1\), so this “slope” gives the mean difference between mainline and fundamentalist Protestants. We could do the same thing for Catholics:
\[\hat{frequency}_i=b_0+b_1(0)+b_2(1)+b_3(0)+b_4(0)+b_5(0)=b_0+b_2\]
The mean difference between Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants is given by \(b_2\).
In general, each of the “slopes” is the mean difference between the indicated category and the reference category. In this case, the reference category is fundamentalist Protestants so each of the slopes gives the mean difference between that religious category and fundamentalist Protestant, just like the graph above.
R is fairly intelligent about handling all of these indicator variables and you don’t actually have to create these five different variables. If you put a categorical variable into your regression formula, R will know to treat it as a set of indicator categories. The only catch is that R will already have a default category set as the reference. It just so happens that in our GSS data, fundamentalist Protestants are already set as the reference. So I can run this model by:
## (Intercept) religMainline Protestant religCatholic
## 49.60 -5.44 -0.36
## religJewish religOther religNone
## -9.84 8.30 10.25
You can tell which category is the reference by which category is left out here. Note how the coefficients (given by the estimates column) match the mean differences I calculated above in the graph. We are simply reproducing these mean differences in a regression model framework.
Categorical and quantitative variables combined in a single model
If all we are doing is reproducing mean differences between categories, what good is this method? After all, we already know how to do that. The major advantage of putting these mean differences into a regression model framework is that we can control for other potentially confounding variables.
 Lets take a look at the age differences between religious affiliations:
## Fund Protestant Mainline Protestant Catholic Jewish
## 45.4 47.3 44.9 53.7
## Other None
## 38.6 39.5
Notice how closely these age differences mirror the differences in sexual frequency. Others and nones are the youngest, while Jews are the oldest. Among Christians, mainline Protestants are older than fundamentalist Protestants and Catholics. We also know from prior work that age has a negative effect on sexual frequency. This should make us suspicious that some (or all) of the observed differences in sexual frequency between religious groups simply reflect age differences between those groups.
We can easily address this issue by simply including age as a control variable in our model:
## (Intercept) religMainline Protestant religCatholic
## 107.90 -3.04 -0.96
## religJewish religOther religNone
## 0.88 -0.43 2.69
## age
## -1.28
We now interpret those slopes as the mean difference in sexual frequency between fundamentalist Protestants and the indicated category, among individuals of the same age. So for example, we would interpret the 2.69 on “None” as:
The model predicts that, among individuals of the same age, those with no religious preference have sex 2.69 more times per year than fundamentalist protestants, on average.
We would also interpret the age effect controlling for religious affiliation like so:
The model predicts, that holding religious affiliation constant, a one year increase in age is associated with 1.28 fewer instances of sex per year, on average.
Table 14 below helps to highlight the change in the effects once age is controlled.
| Model 1 | Model 2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept | 49.60*** | 107.90*** | |
| (2.26) | (3.68) | ||
| Mainline Protestant | -5.44 | -3.04 | |
| (3.24) | (2.99) | ||
| Catholic | -0.36 | -0.96 | |
| (3.28) | (3.02) | ||
| Jewish | -9.84 | 0.88 | |
| (8.84) | (8.17) | ||
| Other | 8.30 | -0.43 | |
| (4.98) | (4.61) | ||
| None | 10.25** | 2.69 | |
| (3.72) | (3.45) | ||
| Age | -1.28*** | ||
| (0.07) | |||
| R-squared | 0.01 | 0.16 | |
| N | 2103 | 2103 | |
| ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. Standard errors in parenthesis. Reference category is fundamentalist Protestant |
All of the coefficients (except for Catholic, which was tiny anyway) have declined substantially in size. The mean differences from fundamentalist Protestants for both Jews and other religions have basically disappeared and the “None” effect has been severely reduced. In other words, almost all or all of the observed differences in sexual frequency by religious affiliation were indirectly a product of underlying age differences between religious affiliations. If you were just about ready to convert to a different religion to get laid more often, you may want to hold off for the moment.

Two important rules to get a good design: semantic markup and css!
1. Semantic markup means you apply html in a way that makes sense. In the early days everything was marked up with tables, but was all data presented really tabular? No! Navigation items make more sense being unordered lists (
) of list items (
), there are important headlines (
) vs less important ones (
 ..
), and a banner wrapped in a h1 tag has extra meaning by adding an id of "logo".
All this makes that elements are more specific and css styling easier. Application data gets more informative so that microformats (much like XML) allow for sharing vcards and calendars across applications. At last be a little more verbose when coding html, for example adding title, alt and rel attributes, may help impaired users to get a better web experience (text instead of images, screenreaders, etc.). The list goes on. Andy Clark has some good video trainings dedicated to this, and Transcendent CSS is one of the best books regarding this aspect, web design in general and CSS. I just read that Andy released a new title
2. CSS separates content from style. A device without CSS support can see the core content, and we then apply CSS to make a page more attractive and visually ordered. CSS is also a great designer's tool: instead of fixed mockups in Photoshop it is way more flexible: you want to swap two columns? Edit a stylesheet rule, in PS you would have to draw new rectangulars and save the file again for web.
CSS has strong support for liquid (%) and float designs, I can't imagine how Photoshop could ever give you that much flexibility to play with your mockup. CSS3 supports nice new features as text shadow, rounded corners, rgba colors and a lot more. The most important aspect is this: keep style and structure separated to warrant flexible design.
With these two important points in mind we can quickly expand upon a basic structure and how you would start with CSS. I am still defining my ideal framework but there are some parts in the below example I have become to adopt with most new projects.
3. This will be a quick example of something I am working on. It merely serves as an example and should be enhanced ..

.. css files, title, meta tags, etc.

Site's brand

..

..

..

..

... another div with search box ...

 .. .. where all stuff of the page happens. you can make more divs here. you can also use 960 grids, etc. Usually I tend to keep it simple and use 2 or 3 columns: main / sidebar, or: leftCol/ innerCol/ rightCol
 ..

$$ variable content $$ ** all before and after this line is included as part of a templating system
 ..

..

..javascript files (at the end of page to ease the pain of potential JS delays)

4. Basic layout. I always start with a css reset to eliminate any inconsistencies across browsers. It is a brilliant solution to make a clean start.
Then I set some basic rules, usually I decide if I go with fixed width and what type
/*general rules*/
body {font : 75%/1.5 "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, "Lucida Sans Unicode", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
/*width: 980px; */ margin: 0 auto; color:#333; ackground-color:#4b373a; }
li {list-style: none; float: left; padding: 5px 10px; }
a { text-decoration: none; color: #900; }
a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: #600; }
p{ line-height: 1.2em;}
etc. .. (/* width: 980px; */ would be uncommented if you go for a fixed width, I found 980px on Apple's site, it's a good size, although 960px is commonly used as well)
The banner usually makes me feel there is some progress, so I like to add it soon, but as style on top of a h1 called #logo (
). This is a good SEO trick I learned from Aarron Walter in his Building Findable Websites. Keep in mind that
 together with <title> are the most important SEO elements on the page.
Markup

Brand of site

CSS
/*logo*/
h1#logo {position: absolute; top:0px; width: 980px; height: 109px; z-index:89;
background:url('../i/banner.jpg') no-repeat; }
h1#logo a {display: block; text-indent: -9999px; width: 980px; height: 109px;}
As you see we have a h1 with an anchor linking back to homepage. Then you bounce the text off the page placing it -9999 px to the left and on top (a higher z-index stacks content, how higher the value, how higher up in the stack).
Then some layout. You can get some random lipsum text to full in the divs to see how it lines out. I tend to use CSS' border: 1px solid red to see what I am working on:
#header, #footer, #mainContent, #content {border: 1px solid red;}
.. at the end you can just delete this rule.
Also I had to clear out some padding that slipped in probably due to the plugins I am using (with its included CSS)
.. other stylesheets, usually delivered by jquery plugins I tend to use ..
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/base.css" type="text/css" />
1. Make sure your css sheet comes last. I didn't do that and lost some precious time searching in my correct base.css to find out that a stylesheet that was included after base.css, introduced an undesired style. Include base.css as last stylesheet. It prevents headaches ;)
2. Use the firefox Web developer tool bar -> Information -> Display Element Information to inspect individual divs for children / parents, etc. It's a wonderful tool to keep track where you are and how the markup is organized.
3. Think about the layout before CSS-ing. You have a myriad of possibilities: floats, liquid layout, fixed pixel widths, all define a sites identity (like color). A framework like 960 grid system might help you (with fixed layouts), but it also introduces more code and might obscure certain aspects (inherent to frameworks, however you can save quite some time). I can dedicate many more posts to CSS ..
To make a long story short, today I really wanted to share the importance of becoming aware of proper markup and use of CSS for styling your page. Without CSS a page should be still readable and good markup should describe what the element means on the page. It also should improve accessibility to the underlying content, both for people with more difficulty to access your content as well as search engines and microformats that allow export of vcards and hcalendars to external apps.
Secondly the CSS: without proper markup it becomes difficult if not impossible to have an economic and flexible stylesheet. I think we all came to a point once we got lost in our own CSS' specificity. You set up so many rules drilling deeper in a wood of divs and classes, not seeing the trees anymore.
.. "huh? why is that link not changing color when styling that anchor" ..
Good semantic markup gives you the bare essential to start laying out your site with CSS. Use semantic markup and CSS to the advantage of your users, customers and (of course) for your own quality of work !


The Go Accordion Panel should be used inside of a <go-accordion>
component. See Accordion for details.
This binding will expand the panel. This is only true at at first render, depending on the behavior
of the parent go-accordion
it will override this.
Typically, you can set this binding to true
for the first go-accordion-panel
in the accordion.
The heading for the panel accepted as a string.
This will set an icon for the panel, shown to the left of the heading.
go-accordion
has [showIcons]="true"
set.
This is defaulted to true
, but if set to false
it will destroy any components inside of the panel when the panel is closed. This will cause any components
inside to be recreated when the accordion is opened every time. This is only useful if you are also using an
ng-template
to not eager load the data inside the panel.
This bindings sets padding: 0;
for the panel. By default, this is set
to false
.


pysnn.learning
pysnn.learning¶
-
class
pysnn.learning.
LearningRule
(layers, defaults)¶ Base class for correlation based learning rules in spiking neural networks.
- Parameters
layers – An iterable or
dict
ofdict
the latter is a dict that contains apysnn.Connection
state dict, a pre-synapticpysnn.Neuron
state dict, and a post-synapticpysnn.Neuron
state dict that together form a single layer. These objects their state’s will be used for optimizing weights. During initialization of a learning rule that inherits from this class it is supposed to select only the parameters it needs from these objects. The higher lever iterable ordict
contain groups that use the same parameter during training. This is analogous to PyTorch optimizers parameter groups.defaults – A dict containing default hyper parameters. This is a placeholder for possible changes later on, these groups would work exactly the same as those for PyTorch optimizers.
-
update_state
()¶ Update state parameters of LearningRule based on latest network forward pass.
-
step
()¶ Performs single learning step.
-
reset_state
()¶ Reset state parameters of LearningRule.
-
check_layers
(layers)¶ Check if layers provided to constructor are of the right format.
- Parameters
layers – OrderedDict containing state dicts for each layer.
-
pre_mult_post
(pre, post, con_type)¶ Multiply a presynaptic term with a postsynaptic term, in the following order: pre x post.
The outcome of this operation preserves batch size, but furthermore is directly broadcastable with the weight of the connection.
This operation differs for Linear or Convolutional connections.
- Parameters
pre – Presynaptic term
post – Postsynaptic term
con_type – Connection type, supports Linear and Conv2d
- Returns
Tensor broadcastable with the weight of the connection
-
reduce_connections
(tensor, con_type, red_method=<built-in method mean of type object>)¶ Reduces the tensor along the dimensions that represent seperate connections to an element of the weight Tensor.
The function used for reducing has to be a callable that can be applied to single axes of a tensor.
This operation differs or Linear or Convolutional connections. For Linear, only the batch dimension (dim 0) is reduced. For Conv2d, the batch (dim 0) and the number of kernel multiplications dimension (dim 3) are reduced.
- Parameters
tensor – Tensor that will be reduced
