National parks a boost to mental health worth trillions: study
Spending time outdoors is long understood to offer mental health perks, including reduced stress, improved sleep and enhanced cognition.
But these public spaces might also benefit the global economy, new research suggests.
Visits to national parks around the world may result in improved mental health valued at about $US6 trillion, according to a team of ecologists, psychologists and economists from Griffith University in Australia.
"People already visit parks to recover from stress," said lead author Ralf Buckley in a press release. "In healthcare terms, it's patient-funded therapy."
But the value of such preventative therapy had never been quantified on a global scale, he noted.
Through three pilot studies involving almost 20,000 people -- based on a representative sample of the Australians and interviews at Lamington and Springbrook national parks -- the researchers measured the impact of park visits on quality of life.
Using well established economic models, they estimated how those benefits would translate into healthcare savings in Australia, and then globally.
They determined that without outdoor parks, the costs of poor mental health could cost Australia alone an additional $145 billion annually.
The research was published Tuesday in Nature Communications.

No. The route to take depends on the current patterns of traffic. Just like the path a letter takes through the Postal system depends on current conditions.
You may recall the advantages of binary representation. Without these advantages, the Web would not be possible.
The last advantage means that every resource is really a collection of bits. Usually these bits are stored in a file on a hard disk. So a URL must specify: a particular computer and a particular disk file on that computer. A URL must also specify how the bits are packaged when they are transmitted. This is called the protocol. For most web resources the protocol is HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol). You do not need to know the details of HTTP.
A non-electronic example of a protocol is the set of rules from the US Post Office that says what size envelopes are expected, where to put the address, where to put the return address, and where to put the stamp. Similar rules are needed for digital communication.


Chapter 11 Visualizing data in low-dimensional space
11.1 With PCA
We visualize the relationships between cells by constructing pairwise PCA plots for the first three components (Figure 11.1). Cells with similar expression profiles should be located close together in the plot, while dissimilar cells should be far apart. In this case, we observe a clear separation of cells based on the oncogene induction status, consistent with the expected effects on the transcriptome.
By comparison, we observe no clear separation of cells by batch (Figure 11.2).
This indicates that our batch correction step using removeBatchEffect()
was successful.
Note that plotReducedDim()
will use the PCA results that were already stored in sce
by denoisePCA()
.
This allows us to rapidly generate new plots with different aesthetics, without repeating the entire PCA computation.
Similarly, plotPCA()
will use existing results if they are available in the SingleCellExperiment
, and will recalculate them otherwise.
Users should set rerun=TRUE
to forcibly recalculate the PCs in the presence of existing results.
Comments from Aaron:
- For each visualization method, additional cell-specific information can be incorporated into the size or shape of each point.
This is done using the
size_by=
andshape_by=
arguments in most plotting functions. - More components can be shown but these are usually less informative as they explain less of the variance. They are also often more difficult to interpret as they are defined to be orthogonal to earlier PCs (and thus dependent on what is detected in those PCs).
11.2 With t-SNE
Another widely used approach for dimensionality reduction is the t-stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) method (Van der Maaten and Hinton 2008). t-SNE tends to work better than PCA for separating cells in more diverse populations. This is because the former can directly capture non-linear relationships in high-dimensional space, whereas the latter must represent them on linear axes. However, this improvement comes at the cost of more computational effort and requires the user to consider parameters such as the random seed and perplexity (see comments).
We demonstrate the generation of t-SNE plots in Figure 11.3 using the plotTSNE()
function.
We set use_dimred="PCA"
to perform the t-SNE on the low-rank approximation of the data, allowing the algorithm to take advantage of the previous denoising step.
set.seed(100)
out5 <- plotTSNE(sce, run_args=list(use_dimred="PCA", perplexity=5),
colour_by="Oncogene") + fontsize + ggtitle("Perplexity = 5")
set.seed(100)
out10 <- plotTSNE(sce, run_args=list(use_dimred="PCA", perplexity=10),
colour_by="Oncogene") + fontsize + ggtitle("Perplexity = 10")
set.seed(100)
out20 <- plotTSNE(sce, run_args=list(use_dimred="PCA", perplexity=20),
colour_by="Oncogene") + fontsize + ggtitle("Perplexity = 20")
multiplot(out5, out10, out20, cols=3)
t-SNE is a stochastic method, so users should run the algorithm several times to ensure that the results are representative.
Scripts should set a seed (via the set.seed()
command) to ensure that the chosen results are reproducible.
It is also advisable to test different settings of the “perplexity” parameter as this will affect the distribution of points in the low-dimensional space.
Here, we call runTSNE()
with a perplexity of 20 to store the t-SNE results inside our SingleCellExperiment
object.
This avoids repeating the calculations whenever we want to create a new plot with plotTSNE()
, as the stored results will be used instead.
Again, users can set rerun=TRUE
to force recalculation in the presence of stored results.
## [1] "PCA" "TSNE"
There are many other dimensionality reduction techniques that we do not consider here but could also be used, e.g., multidimensional scaling, diffusion maps.
These have their own advantages and disadvantages – for example, diffusion maps (see plotDiffusionMap
) place cells along a continuous trajectory and are suited for visualizing graduated processes like differentiation (Angerer et al. 2016).
Comments from Aaron:
- A good guide on how to interpret t-SNE plots can be found at http://distill.pub/2016/misread-tsne/. This demonstrates how distances between clusters in the 2-dimensional embedding have little meaning, as does the apparent “size” (i.e., spread) of the clusters.

Press release
Opening doors for young disabled people to engage in youth work
A new Ofsted survey finds that more needs to be done to ensure disabled young people can access local youth work provision.
The survey report
highlights where more could be done in the planning of youth services for disabled young people within a local area. It is intended to serve as a guide to local authorities and providers to identify the key factors that make schemes successful and adapt local provision accordingly.
The reported proportions of disabled young people who access local authority youth work provision were low. Inspectors found that some disabled young people were not known to local authorities so were potentially missing out on the services on offer.
National Director for Learning and Skills, Matthew Coffey:
This survey indicates there is a worrying lack of planning in relation to the commissioning of youth services for disabled young people. Initiatives to increase access to youth work are provided through a complex network of local authority services and charities. What is clear is that better planning of services in relation to local need and better training for adult workers and volunteers would ensure more young disabled people benefit from the opportunities and support that youth work affords.
Despite this fairly negative national picture, there are examples of local authorities and providers delivering hugely effective programmes of support that have a beneficial impact on the lives of young disabled people. The best support we saw focused on developing young people’s personal, social, political and work-related skills and aptitudes.
While the government does not prescribe which services and activities for young people should be funded by the local authority, statutory guidance requires local authorities to secure access to youth work. This means some local areas see access to youth work for disabled people as a more of priority than others.
The survey noted some good planning where charities and voluntary organisations worked well together to provide for young disabled people in their leisure time. Overall, however, the report highlights inconsistencies across regions. The best local arrangements involved the local authority, charities and the voluntary sector working together and sharing expertise. Indeed, inspectors reported this mix was fundamental as it was a way of getting the best from the diminishing resources dedicated to youth work.
The report also found that many adult workers and volunteers who support young disabled people in their youth work could also be given more opportunity for further training.
Notes to editors
-
As well as the report there are a number of
other documents including discussion materials in the 4 critical issues identified and good practice case studies

httpfile
httpfile is a class used by the IWebserverPlugin to realize static files. A static file that will be provided
by the IWebserverPlugin needs to converted with the httpfiles tool and added to the project during the building
process (have a look to the API demo to see how to implement static files). Each file that will be statically
included will be represented by an httpfile instance and placed inside a btree. So generally there is no need
to use the httpfile class "manually".
NOTE: The interface of httpfile is compatible to the innovaphone firmware internals.
class httpfile
- httpfile(const char * fileName, word /* servlettype unused */, word theFlags, byte * data, size_t dataSize)
-
fileName is the name of the static file. The name can include a path (e. G. "/main/index.html"). theFlags currently
only supports the flag HTTP_GZIP. If that flag is set, the data of the file must be in gzip compressed format.
The Webserver will set the proper encoding when sending the file to the browser. data is a pointer to the data of
the file, dataSize the size of the file. The resource type of the file will be autodetected by parsing the file
suffix.
- const byte * GetData()
-
Returns the pointer to the buffer passed to the constructor.
- size_t GetSize()
-
Returns the size of the file as given to the constructor.
- word GetResourceType()
-
Returns the resource type of the file. That value will send from the webbrowser as content-type header field. The
constructor of httpfile autodetecst the resource type by parsing the file suffix.
- word GetFlags()
-
Returns the flags that had been given to the constructor of httpfiles. For now, only HTTP_GZIP is supported.
- const char * GetMD5String()
-
Returns the MD5 sum of the file content. This value will be calculated when in the constructor of httpfile and
used by IWenserverPlugin / Webserver as etag to support the browsers file caching.

I have a tendency, whether overt/intentional or not, to shy away from mainstream beers on this blog. I guess I'd still put Blue Moon under the category of "craft beer", but it's a lot more widespread and popular than most of the beers I cover here. It's not like it's a requirement of the blog, but I just tend not to buy/drink beer like that, and there's a lot more interesting stuff happening at the smaller level.
That being said, we had some leftover Blue Moon from a pool party, and wheat beers typically hold up well in pancake form, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Blue Moon's always been one of my favorite mainstream-ish beers, and it certainly didn't disappoint in pancake form, either.

Prep/Cooking:
There wasn't anything crazy going on with these pancakes in the prep stages. Pretty straightforward stuff - the color didn't take all that well given Blue Moon's light color. The aroma wasn't very powerful, either, but the batter began showing the characteristic delicious wheaty sweetness that wheat beer pancakes tend to have.
| And then there suddenly appeared before me... |
Results:
Staying true to form, Blue Moon didn't disappoint. It didn't quite have as much flavor as some of the other wheat pancakes I've made, but overall they were quite enjoyable, packing in that wonderful wheaty goodness without being overwhelming or losing much of anything. The one thing that did drop off is the coriander you get a hint of in liquid form that Blue Moon is famous for. I guess sometimes you have to make sacrifices.
| Blue Moon, Now I'm no longer alone... |
The Ternary Scale:
Pancakes: 2 - Blue Moon is widely available, really affordable, and makes great pancakes. You're doing yourself an injustice by not making these pancakes.
Syrup: 1? - I don't actually have much to say about syrup here. It's not required by any means, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

title: How to install Apache Continuum
---
Apache Continuum is an automated build and reporting system for Maven or Ant Java projects. It is nice because it will automatically check out from source control a project and build it. Any errors found during the build process can then be e-mailed to you. This is nice because it allows an automated build to run every X hours (or whatever you want) with the latest code from source control. This allows one to catch an error that breaks the build a developer may have made when checking in code. It also provides a web interface for viewing build history and reports.
Unfortunately the documentation on setting up Continuum isn't very good. Below is my quick start guide to getting Continuum running. This assumes Windows XP, but the instructions should work on Linux as well.
Pre-requesites:
- Download Apache Continuum (these instructions were done with version 1.2.2)
- Java JDK (javac) in your system path
- For Windows a user account to run the service
- You should not use LocalSystem as you need a separate user home directory
- Maven 2.0.9+ in your system path
- JAVA_HOME system environment variable that points to your JDK
- Subversion command line client (svn) in your system path
- TCP port 8080 free
- A settings.xml for your Maven in the correct place (see instructions below)
Installation Steps (Windows):
- Unzip the Apache Continuum distro into whatever location
- Create the Windows user account
- Users group only, Administrators is not necessary
- Create the Windows' user profile on the system
- cmd /runas:ContinuumUser cmd
- Copy your Maven settings file into the profile-folder/.m2/settings.xml
- Don't forget to adjust the file security permissions if necessary
- If your SVN repository requires auth for read-only access
- cmd /runas:ContinuumUser cmd
- svn list https://your-repo/svn/project
- Set recursively the Apache Continuum folder security permissions and ownership to your Windows' Continuum user
- Install the Continuum service by running c:\apache-continuum-x.y.z\bin\continuum.bat install
- Open up the Services control panel (run services.msc)
- Edit the "Apache Continuum" service
- Log On tab
- Log on as: "This account"
- Enter in the Windows' Continuum user account you created
- Click on the OK button
- Edit c:\apache-continuum-x.y.z\conf\jetty.xml
- You should probably open it in WordPad
- Search for "mail.smtp.host"
- Inbetween the "Put" tags insert the hostname of your SMTP e-mail server
- You will probably need to remove the "localhost" default setting
- Save the file and close it
- Start the "Apache Continuum" service
- Be very patient as it takes a while to load
Post Steps:
- Open your web browser to http://localhost:8080/continuum
- Follow the first time configuration wizard
- When adding a Maven project "POM Url" means the URL to the pom.xml file in source control
- Example: https://svn-server/svn/project/trunk/pom.xml


class Solution: def isPathCrossing(self, path: str) -> bool: visited = set() currentX = currentY = 0##this is how you declare two variables to be the same initially with equal signs, not comma visited.add((currentX,currentY)) for direction in path: if direction == 'N': currentY += 1 elif direction == 'S': currentY -= 1 elif direction == 'E': currentX += 1 else: currentX -= 1 if (currentX,currentY) in visited: return True else: visited.add((currentX,currentY)) return False

Delhi court stays movie on life of Chanda Kochhar
The film was projected as a biopic on her life
by PTIA Delhi Court on Saturday stayed the makers of upcoming Bollywood film Chanda: A Signature that Ruined a Career from screening, exhibiting or marketing till further orders the movie which is allegedly based on the life of former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar.
Additional District Judge Sandeep Garg passed the directions on a complaint filed through advocate Vijay Aggarwal, who claimed that the content of the film was “defamatory” as “it makes insinuations and judgments about the life of the plaintiff (Kochhar).”
The court issued notice to the producer, director and others associated with the film for November 26 when it will next hear the matter.
“All the defendants and their associates... are hereby restrained from using the name of the plaintiff directly or indirectly; screening, exhibiting or marketing the film, online or offline, whole or in part or in any other form... till the next date of hearing,” the court said.
In the complaint, Ms. Kochhar said that she has “never been approached for obtaining her consent to use her name and make a film on her life, by the defendants.”
The film was projected as a biopic on her life.


Introduction¶
What is AMPL API?¶
AMPL API is an interface that allows developers to access the features of the AMPL interpreter from within a programming language. All model generation and solver interaction is handled directly by AMPL, which leads to great stability and speed; the library just acts as an intermediary, and the added overhead (in terms of memory and CPU usage) depends mostly on how much data is read back from AMPL, the size of the model as such is irrelevant. Functions for directly assigning data to AMPL parameters and sets are provided, which can be used instead of the normal AMPL data reading procedures. AMPL API has been written with usability in mind, and it is easy to access its functionalities from C++, Java, MATLAB, C# and Python.
Who can use AMPL API¶
The intended user of the library is the developer who needs to connect an application to optimization models and solvers, or the analyst with some experience in programming who wants to build a quick proof-of-concept application. Architecture schema of AMPLAPI below shows a possible architecture and a sequence of interaction between a decision support system relying on an existing IT framework and AMPL API.
System requirements¶
As AMPL API uses AMPL for model generation, the AMPL executable is needed and is generally provided. The solution is then obtained through external solvers. In general, a valid AMPL setup and Python 2.7 or 3.x are necessary and sufficient conditions for the correct execution of AMPL API.
The officially supported platforms are all Windows flavours, various Linux 32/64 bits and OSX. Ports to any other platform supported by AMPL can be easily obtained.
For Windows only, please make sure that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (32 or 64 bits, depending on the architecture of the AMPL API you downloaded) is installed. It often comes preinstalled or as part of other software; it can also be downloaded from Microsoft download center. Click here for the 32 bits or here for the 64 bits version.
About this manual¶
This document intends to guide a developer in the process of implementing an “AMPL API based” application in Python. The section Class structure presents the main logic of the API, which does not change depending on which programming environment is chosen. Further sections walk the reader through the implementation of the most common applications, finally the sections Python API reference and Python API examples contain respectively the API reference documentation and a collection of examples.

Man rescues puppy in cage from Champaign lake; police looking for suspect
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A puppy is recovering after being locked in a cage and thrown into Kaufman Lake in Champaign.
A man fishing on the lake saw the dog and rescued it from the freezing water.
The dog, who's been given the name "Dory" was badly injured with missing patches of fur and was suffering from hypothermia, said animal care officials.
Officials believe the dog is about 8 months old.
Authorities said they are looking for the person responsible for throwing the dog in the lake.

computePayment
method, and reference data types,
such as objects and arrays.
Here's an example of a
method that accepts an array as an argument. In this example,
the method creates a new Polygon
object and
initializes it from an array of Point
objects (assume
that Point
is a class that represents an x,
y coordinate):
public Polygon polygonFrom(Point[] corners) { // method body goes here }
To use varargs, you follow the type of the last parameter by an ellipsis (three dots, ...), then a space, and the parameter name. The method can then be called with any number of that parameter, including none.
public Polygon polygonFrom(Point... corners) { int numberOfSides = corners.length; double squareOfSide1, lengthOfSide1; squareOfSide1 = (corners[1].x - corners[0].x)*(corners[1].x - corners[0].x) + (corners[1].y - corners[0].y)*(corners[1].y - corners[0].y) ; lengthOfSide1 = Math.sqrt(squareOfSide1); // more method body code follows that creates // and returns a polygon connecting the Points }
corners
is treated like an
array. The method can be called either with an array or
with a sequence of arguments. The code in the method body will treat the parameter as an array in either case.
You will most commonly see varargs with the printing
methods; for example, this printf
method:
public PrintStream printf(String format, Object... args)
System.out.printf("%s: %d, %s%n", name, idnum, address);
System.out.printf("%s: %d, %s, %s, %s%n", name, idnum, address, phone, email);
The name of a parameter must be unique in its scope. It cannot be the same as the name of another parameter for the same method or constructor, and it cannot be the name of a local variable within the method or constructor.
A parameter can have the same name as one of the class's
fields. If this is the case, the parameter is said to shadow
the field. Shadowing fields can make your code
difficult to read and is conventionally used only within
constructors and methods that set a particular
field. For example, consider the following Circle
class and its setOrigin
method:
public class Circle { private int x, y, radius; public void setOrigin(int x, int y) { ... } }
Circle
class has three fields:
x
, y
, and radius
. The
setOrigin
method has two parameters, each of
which has the same name as one of the fields. Each
method parameter shadows the field that shares its name.
So using the simple names x
or y
within the body of the method refers to the parameter, not
to the field. To access the field, you must use
a qualified name. This will be discussed later in this
lesson
in the
section titled "Using the this
Keyword."
int
or a
double
, are passed into methods by value.
This means that any changes to the values of the parameters exist only within
the scope of the method. When the method returns, the parameters are gone and any changes to them are lost.
Here is an example:
public class PassPrimitiveByValue { public static void main(String[] args) { int x = 3; //invoke passMethod() with x as argument passMethod(x); // print x to see if its value has changed System.out.println("After invoking passMethod, x = " + x); } // change parameter in passMethod() public static void passMethod(int p) { p = 10; } }
After invoking passMethod, x = 3
For example, consider a method in an arbitrary class that moves Circle
objects:
public void moveCircle(Circle circle, int deltaX, int deltaY) { // code to move origin of circle to x+deltaX, y+deltaY circle.setX(circle.getX() + deltaX); circle.setY(circle.getY() + deltaY); //code to assign a new reference to circle circle = new Circle(0, 0); }
moveCircle(myCircle, 23, 56)
circle
initially refers to myCircle
. The method changes the
x and y coordinates of the object that circle
references (i.e., myCircle
)
by 23 and 56, respectively. These changes will persist when the method returns.
Then circle
is assigned a reference to a new Circle
object with
x = y = 0
. This reassignment has no permanence, however, because the
reference was passed in by value and cannot change. Within the method, the object pointed to by circle
has changed, but, when the method returns, myCircle
still references the same
Circle
object as before the method was called.


TWELFTH NIGHT A film review by Alex Fung Copyright 1996 Alex Fung
(Fine Line - 1996) Starring Helena Bonham Carter, Richard E. Grant, Nigel Hawthorne, Ben Kinglsey, Mel Smith, Imelda Staunton, Toby Stephens, Imogen Stubbs Screenplay by Trevor Nunn, based on the play by William Shakespeare Produced by Stephen Evans and David Parfitt Directed by Trevor Nunn Running time: 125 minutes
Me: ** (out of four stars)
Note: Some may consider portions of the following text to be spoilers. Be forewarned.
The onslaught of film adaptations based upon Shakespeare's plays in recent years (among them being RICHARD III, OTHELLO, and the upcoming HAMLET and ROMEO & JULIET) continues with Trevor Nunn's first feature in ten years, TWELFTH NIGHT, a comedy of mistaken identities and genders. Despite a cast with impressive credentials, the end result is a dreary film, punctuated with stacattos of bemusement.
After a shipwreck off the coast of fictional country Illyria separates twins Viola (Imogen Stubbs) and Sebastian (Stephen Mackintosh), Viola is distraught. Mistakenly believing her brother to be dead, she disguises herself as a young man and enters the services of Duke Orsino (Toby Stephens), and on his behalf attempts to court Countess Olivia (Helena Bonham Carter). Confusion reigns as Olivia instead falls for the disguised Viola, who's now going under the name "Cesario", while Viola herself becomes enamored with Orsino. Meanwhile, boozing Sir Toby Belch (Mel Smith) and wacky Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Richard E. Grant) mischievously torment Olivia's repressed manservant, Malvolio (Nigel Hawthorne), with a forged love letter.
Despite the classic material, the film seems to lose the comedy in the circumstances, and most of the laughs instead come from various reaction shots from the characters to the unfolding situations. The subplot involving Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Malvolio proves to be both overlong and completely disinteresting, and is saved only by a wildly amusing performance by Nigel Hawthorne from sinking the film.
The other bright spot in the film is a solid lead performance by Imogen Stubbs as Viola/Cesario. Possibly best known in North America for her performance as Lucy Steele in Ang Lee's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (1995), here Stubbs invests a great degree of pluck in her character, making her performance eminently watchable.
The film's pacing suffers greatly from the subplot; after investing much time in setting up the situation and introducing the various characters, the film's momentum screeches to a halt midway through as the subplot is played out, before picking up again to the film's inevitable merry conclusion. TWELFTH NIGHT's look is surprisingly dark and cold considering the general tone of the material.
Commercial prospects for TWELFTH NIGHT are probably modest. The film lacks A-list star power, and will likely not generate the raving word-of-mouth required to convert this film into a mainstream hit. As such, TWELFTH NIGHT would probably expect a successful run in arthouse theatres.
TWELFTH NIGHT is a passable and relatively faithful adaptation of Shakespeare's classic play. However, it fails to exploit the inherent comedy of the situation, and one would expect more, particularly from a cast of such calibre given such source material. On my four-star scale, I give TWELFTH NIGHT two stars.

This post is about everything awesome in life. You could click on this, but it doesn't actually link to anything.


This was the creation of an inclusive web page for a group hungry for change. This was a site done within three weeks, yet it still gave me an idea of how to utilize the UX process.
During this time period I was the planning chair for the organization (WoCo) and helped to plan events to boost recruitment and retain members. However, as the most tech comfortable member, when there was a need for a website, I was the one to volunteer. As a new team with an older legacy, and even older website, we needed an updated way to convey our mission to the necessary parties both for general use and for use after our upcoming big events. So, my question was, how to use our newly updated value system to build the foundation of an online presence?
By using the final in a web development class as a way to combine responsibilities, I become a guerrilla team of one: researcher, designer, and developer.
November 30th 2019, December 13, 2019
Before I could begin, I had to define my constraints and understand what I was looking for.
I came up with the idea of combining responsibilities for my class and towards my group. However, this meant that I was trying to get everything done during finals’ week, including seeking feedback from two different groups of busy people. The group (WoCo) also felt it imperative for me to have it done by Spring semester as we had multiple events planned that might get us featured in the news.
Because I opted to do this for a class, I was also fully responsible for coding the website. So, I had to maintain a strict balance for design and technical feasibility.
Who is my audience? How do I attempt to combine all of their needs into one site that does justice to everyone's desires?
First things first, I needed something to anchor this project. It was most like a problem statement, or a mission statement. It answered a vital question: what was I doing?
After realizing my goal and constraints, I started to work. The first thing I did was make some quick and dirty personas to understand who I was designing for. I had to get out of my own mind as while I was involved in the group, I was not taking on the role of a user. The personas were without any fluff, but they got the job done to get me thinking about what was needed.
I was dealing with around a three week turnaround deadline. I did not have time to reinvent the wheel. I took materials that the group already paid for from a graphic designer and went looking at other sites that were in the same realm as us.
This saved me time and also helped me pinpoint what I wanted on our website. It was a quick, dirty and easy way to do a competitive analysis. I took inspiration from the sources and started to make my benchmarks.
I had to think of how intuitive it would be to use the website. To do this, I had to understand why certain users would come to the site. Our previous version of the website left a lot to be desired, but I still had to find a way to parse information so that it can be simple, but still informative.
A student looking for a club will most likely be looking for fun events to go to. They’ll also want to know who we are personally. An administrator would like to see who we are in relation to our standing with other groups. Other campus leaders would like to see what we stand for and if we are compatible with their values. To solve this, I designed a wire frame with only 4 categories and with content that would meet the objectives of the primary user base.
After realizing my goal and constraints, I started to work. The first thing I did was make some quick and dirty personas to understand who I was designing for. I had to get out of my own mind as while I was involved in the group, I was not taking on the role of a user.

Trump Jr.’s book is a No. 1 bestseller, but with an edge
NEW YORK (AP) - Donald Trump Jr.’s “Triggered” is a No. 1 New York Times bestseller, although not without an edge.
“Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” came out last week and tops the hardcover nonfiction list that will appear in the Nov. 24 edition of the Times.
Among those celebrating was President Donald Trump, who tweeted “Wow! Was just told that my son’s book, ‘Triggered,’ is Number One on The New York Times Bestseller List. Congratulations Don!”

A dagger symbol appears next to the listing, indicating that some of the sales were “bulk purchases,” often meaning that the author or someone associated with the author bought a substantial number of copies. A spokesman for the Republican National Committee, Steve Guest, said Thursday that the RNC has been offering “Triggered” as a fundraising incentive, a common practice for political books.
Guest said copies were bought “to keep up with demand,” not in a “large bulk purchase.”
“Triggered” also placed high on the weekly report compiled by NPD BookScan, which tracks around 85% of the print market. According to BookScan, “Triggered” sold 71,000 copies last week, second only to Jeff Kinney’s latest “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.” NPD could not immediately determine how many of those sales were bulk sales.

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA A film review by Eric Walker Copyright 1992 Eric Walker
Francis Ford Coppola's newest film, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, is an intelligent, well-made vampire movie that unfortunately spends too much of its time looking good to be an effective, terrifying horror movie. It looks great, and it's a tribute to the great Universal horror movies of old (including the original DRACULA, starring Bela Lugosi and directed by Tod Browning). But pretty pictures do not a scary story make, and this is the movie's ultimate weakness. It's as undead as its star.
The movie tries to be a tale of tragic love, rather than a straightforward horror story, but the scenery and atmosphere overwhelm the actors so that you can't feel any emotion for any of them at all - not even for Prince Dracula himself, whose heavy accent is incomprehensible at times; nor for professor Van Helsing, who is expertly played in a controlled, not quite over-the-top performance by Anthony Hopkins. The other actors in the film fare badly, turning what could have been an emotional, intense tale of love, loyalty and humanity into a silly soap-opera with pointy teeth. The minor characters, including Winona Ryder's Mina and Keanu Reeves' Jonathan Harker, exist solely to be victims for the Prince or willing recruits in Van Helsing's band of ghostbusters. They have no emotions and feelings of their own, and we never see them as true characters. This robs the film of much of its intensity.
Coppola pays tribute to the famous German Expressionist horror films (especially NOSFERATU, which is mentioned by name and which the Old Prince resembles) and the classic Universal monster movies, giving us lavish sets and special effects galore - but he loses control when he includes surreal images of splashing blood and confusing "montage" images that try to grip the audience but end up confusing them instead. The movie's best moment is, in fact, an imitation of Coppola's own famous climax to THE GODFATHER, in which a wedding takes place. But most of the scenes in the film are confusing, especially during a sea voyage where people who have not read the book will only scratch their heads and try to figure out what's going on.
The best vampire stories have an erotic feel to them, as the drawing of blood becomes more of a sexual act than a mere feeding on of victims, though the eroticism of this movie is about as subtle as a blow with a wooden stake. The connection between feeding on victims and sex is bludgeoned into us, using so heavy-handed an approach that even a seduction/rape scene involving three women is nothing more than a turn-off. Coppola has invested so much time and effort into dazzling the eyes that he has drained the film of heart and feeling, in much the style of Stanley Kubrick.
In the end, BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA fails to be the horrifying, heart-stopping horror film it could have been. It's a feast for the eyes to behold, but underneath the sets, cameras and special effects there's very little room for a person to *feel* anything. As a result, we don't care for the characters as much as we should - and a movie without memorable, energetic characters is like one of the undead. It's a movie without a soul.

What did you learn from your 'mindfulness conversation'? How did the other person find it?
I didnt have anyone to practice this with formally, so I did it informally with family members during dinner when usually I would engage in conversation, but this tie I just listened and allowed for them to speak and it was very amazing to see what coming up for me when I would usually just react to or have something to say immediately, I just allowed them to talk the conversation changed.
Which of the three suggested techniques will you use to sustain your practice?
All of them. The listening I feel is an important part of my day to day life, being able to listen to how I am feeling, how others around me are feeling, and also giving space to allow for what arises to be seen and acknowledged, instead of just pushing it away.

In newer version of Typora (≥ <IP_ADDRESS> on macOS or 0.9.84 on Windows / Linux), we added a “upload image” function to upload images to a cloud image storage via 3rd apps or scripts.
Its motivation is that, since markdown files is just plain text files, when you embed images, the markdown files does not “own” those images, but just keep a weak reference to used external image files. When you move or share markdown files, those images should also be moved or shared, which brings maintaince costs. But if those images are hosted online, you can move or share markdown files freely without maintaining the reference between text plain and the images it used.
Typora now supports apps like iPic, uPic, PicGo, etc, which is able to upload your images into Imgur, Flickr, Amazon S3, Github, or other image hosting services.
Before you use this feature, please notice that Typora does not own those image uploader apps or cloud storage services, they are all 3rd services, so please take care about their license, user agreement, privacy policy, service stability and reliability by yourself.
By using this feature after enabled in preferences panel, Typora will pass the path of used images to those 3rd tools, then they will upload your images to a 3rd (or 4th) cloud image storage, Typora has no control or guarantee over this process, so please pick up a reliable service to ensure your data security.
Besides the privacy and reliability issues, some service may have an expiration time for hosting your images, some service may not provide a “delete” function even after you uploaded sensitive images by accident, and service follows laws that is not in your country, banning certain type of images or users in certain country, etc.
In short, please read their manual then choose the app and service for uploading images.
You can enable and config image uploader in preferences panel, we provide integrations with following apps / tools:
After select one option, you may need to download and installed the required app, do simple configuration of which cloud storage you want to host your images on that app, then click “Test Uploader” to test if Typora can upload local images using current service and configuration.
By clicking the “Test Uploader” button, Typora will try to upload test images using current configuration, you can see the details, error messages, and final url result after upload on following “Validation” dialog:
If it shows “Validation Failed”, you need to check the reason from the raw output.
[iPic][ttps://itunes.apple.com/app/id1101244278] is a freemium app which allows you to upload local images into various cloud service, including Imgur, Flickr, Amazon S3, etc, and return you a web url of the uploaded image for public access.
To use iPic as the image uploader service, you just need to install iPic app from MAS or from their website, then config its image host following instructions here. And select “iPic” as “image uploader” in preferences panel of Typora, then you can upload images to preferred cloud image storage using iPic.
uPic is a native, powerful, beautiful and simple picture and file upload tool for macOS.
You could install via Homebrew:
brew cask install upic
Or Download from github release.
To use uPic as the image uploader service, you just need to install iPic app from the instructions above, then config its image host following instructions here. And select “uPic” as “image uploader” in preferences panel of Typora, then you can upload images to preferred cloud image storage using uPic.
uPic also has a detailed English Document.
PicGo-Core is an open source node module that supports picture uploading. It also supports plugins to extend its functionality.
Since it is a node module, we provide two ways to install and use it.
Typora provide a prebuilt binary of PicGo using nexe to packing the node module into one-file binary. You could just click the “Download” button to install the PicGo binary, and Typora will start downloading and put it under Typora’s support folder directly.
Due to the security rule of macOS Catalina, the prebuilt binary is not functionally on Catalina, so you may try the following option:
If you have node or yarn installed, you cloud run following commands in terminal.
npm install picgo -g
# or
yarn global add picgo
Then you can input “which picgo” in terminal to get its actual installed location, then, select “Custom Command” as the “Image Uploader” function and input “[your node path] [your picgo-core path] upload” as the command. If you have “node” and “picgo” installed in system PATH directly, you could also fill “picgo upload” as the custom command directly.
Please edit config.json
at following location
~/.picgo/config.json
.C:\Users\[your user name]\.picgo\config.json
.For details, please refer to this document (Chinese Only).
If you installed pico-core via node, please input picgo -h
to show help of picgo, and do configuration follow its help.
If you used the prebuilt binary of PicGo-Core installed from Typora’s preferences panel, please find the binary from the folder (see instructions here), then open the folder in terminal, and do configurations via (./picgo -h
).
You can find its CLI usage in https://github.com/PicGo/PicGo-Core#use-in-cli.
You can use the cli interface to install plugins of PicGo-Core.
PicGo is an GUI app built from PicGo-Core. Since it only provides a Chinese user interface, you will find this option only when your Typora is using Simplified Chinese language.
To use with Typora, we require PicGo ≥ 2.2.0 with PicGo-Server enabled and use port in default value (36677). And when Typora upload images using PicGo, PicGo will be launched and kept running.
For Linux / Windows users, please set the path of PicGo binary in Typora’s preferences setting after install it.
picBed
key in the config file of PicGo.app into PicGo’s config file.You could config a custom command to upload images, using tools that is not listed in above options, or even write your own tools / scripts. Typora will append all images that needs to be uploaded after the custom command you filled.
Then, Typora will fetch image urls from the last N lines of the standard output of your custom command. (N is the number of images to upload).
For example, if you write a tool upload-image.sh
, then you can input [some path]/upload-image.sh
in the command filed. Typora will call [some path]/upload-image.sh "image-path-1" "image-path-2"
to upload two images located in image-path-1
and image-path-2
. Then the command may return something like:
Upload Success:
http://remote-image-1.png
http://remote-image-2.png
Then Typora will get the two remote image url from the output, and replace the original local images used in the Markdown document.
You could click the “Test Uploader” button to verify your custom commands.
You can use ${filename}
and ${filepath}
in your custom commands, they will be replace as the current markdown file name and current file path. For “untitled” files that have not been saved on your disk, they will be empty strings.
User can tell Typora to upload images automatically when insert (including insert image from menu, Touch Bar, via copy & paste or drag & drop). To enable this feature, please select “Upload Image” under “When Insert…” options like following screenshot suggests.
Then, if you want the “auto upload” only applies to local images, please only check Apply above rules to local images
, if you also want to re-upload images that is already hosting on remote website, you can also check Apply above rules to online images
.
Firstly, please enable Allow upload images automatically based on YAML settings
in preferences panel.
Then if your Markdown file contains following config in YAML front matter, Typora will use this option to upload images automatically when insert image:
typora-copy-images-to: upload
You could also click menu → Format
→ Image
→ When insert local image…
→ Upload Image
to insert this YAML front matter and enable this behavior.
You could right click on an image, and click “Upload Image” to upload selected image using the app configured in preferences panel.
If your Markdown files contains lots of local images, and you want to upload all of them in one click, you could click menu → Format
→ Image
→ Upload All Local Images
to upload all local images.
“Please set an image uploader in Preferences Panel before using this function.”
In order to make “image upload” functional, you must set an image uploader in Preferences Panel following the configuration section,
Image Upload Failed
When upload image failed, Typora will print the error message when calling the 3rd app you configured as image upload provider. You could find the cause from the error message.
If you cannot know the cause, you could try validate the image upload option by clicking the “Test Uploader” button in preferences panel, and if it success or not. Also, you may try if you upload images using those app without Typora, and check if it can succeed or not.
If you find those app cannot upload images successfully, you could contact to their maintainer for further support.
Garbled console output on Windows
If you use, custom command, and after clicking “Test Uploader” button in preferences panel, and its console output is Garbled characters, you may try to force the process to use UTF8 encoding, by prepending @chcp 65001 >nul & cmd /d/s/c
before your custom command.
[PicGo ERROR]: Error: API v1 is deprecated, please refer to https://doc.sm.ms/ for v2 API documentation.
It is caused by PicGo’s support issue of its default image hosting service: sm.ms, please refer PicGo/PicGo-Core#30, or use other image service other than the default one
Fail to parse result image path from
Like #3309, Typora requires the return url of an image to start with http://
, https://
, or file://
. Other protocols are not supported. Also, in HTML / Markdown, image src
without protocols, are treated like relative path.
EPERM: operation not permitted mkdir “**/upload”
This should be fixed in 0.9.87, please upgrade Typora.
In older version of Typora on macOS, we only provide the integration with “ipic”. So if your older Markdown document contains
typora-copy-images-to: ipic
Typora will still use ipic
to upload images in this file, you could update the behavior by changing into typora-copy-images-to: upload
.

{{Refimprove|date=January 2015}} Tucupi is a yellow sauce extracted from wild manioc root in Brazil's Amazon jungle. It is also produced as by-product of manioc flour manufacture. The juice is toxic when raw (containing hydrocyanic acid).<ref>http://www.gourmet.com/food/gourmetlive/2012/091912/amazon-food-glossary</ref>
Tucupi is prepared by peeling, grating and juicing the manioc. Traditionally a basket-like instrument called the tipiti was used. After being squeezed through the tipiti, the juice is left to "rest" so that the starch separates from the liquid (tucupi). Poisonous at this stage, tucupi must be boiled (for hours{{cn|date=September 2012}}) to eliminate the poison. The tucupi can then be used as a sauce in cooking. It is seasoned with salt, alfavaca and chicória.

In legend, Jacy (The Moon) and Iassytatassú (The Morning Star), joined to visit the centre of the Earth. When they tried to cross the abyss, the serpent Tyiiba bit the face of Jacy. Jacy’s tears fell on a manioc plantation. Since then the face of Jacy (The Moon) has been marked by the bites of the snake. From the tears of Jacy sprang tucupi.
Tucupi is very common in the cuisine of Brazilians of the Amazon region. Duck in tucupi (Pato no tucupi in Portuguese) is a much appreciated dish. A duck which has been previously roasted, and then shredded, is brought to a boil in a sauce of tucupi and jambu (Acmella oleracea).
Tacacá is another speciality of Amazonian cuisine, principally “revered” in the state of Pará. Served in a bowl made from a gourd, boiling tucupi is poured over manioc flour. A generous portion of jambu and dried shrimp complete the dish.
The acidic nature of tucupi accentuates the effects of jambu, which cause the lips and mouth to tingle or feel numbness.

‘Frost Fest' in place of tree lighting gets cool reception
DURHAM, N.H. (AP) - Plans to hold a "Frost Fest" instead of a traditional holiday celebration are getting a frosty reception in a New England community.
After concerns last year that the tree-lighting ceremony at a park in Durham, New Hampshire, was too focused on Christmas, and a decision to deny a menorah to be displayed next to the tree, town councilors hatched the idea of a celebration that pays tribute to winter.
This year, there's no tree lighting ceremony or grand entrance from Santa planned at the Dec. 7 event. But councilors said that in trying to make the holidays welcoming and inclusive, they've been yelled at and have received hateful emails and social media posts.
Some messages have accused the officials of erasing everything that has to do with Christmas and being elitist.
"Humbug to you, Durham. Who let the Grinch in?" wrote Dan Hurley, of Dover.
The debate over what to include in the holiday season extends even to the wreaths on light posts. For now, they're going up again.
An editorial in the newspaper Foster's Daily Democrat, offered some suggestions for residents who don't like changes to the town event, such as go, and "see if you feel you and your family's good time is diminished in any way from years past."

Kottayam district is famous for its rich heritage and literary tradition. It is renowned for its spice and rubber trade. Cradled by the backwaters and the Western Ghats, it is epitomised by its stretches of vast greenery, paddy fields and huge rubber plantations. Over five of the State’s leading newspaper publications originate from Kottayam. About four-fifth of books published in the State come from here as well. From trekking hotbeds like Nadukani and Kottathavalam to the rare avian life on display at the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, this district encompasses everything that God’s Own Country is famous for. Well connected to the entire State, it is full of interesting historical and cultural locations that tell the tale of how the district was forged into its current form.
Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary is situated at Kumarakom in Kottayam taluk of Kottayam district in the Indian state of Kerala, on the banks of Vembanad Lake. Set in the Kerala Backwaters, the bird sanctuary is a favourite haunt of migratory birds.
Illikkal Kallu is a monolith located on top of the Illickal Malaa in the Kottayam district of Kerala, India.The distance from kottayam railway station to illikal kallu is 57km. Situated at around 3400 feet above sea level, Illickal Kallu is a major tourist attraction in Moonnilavu and Thalanadu village of Meenachil taluk. Only one half of the original rock remains, as the other half of the rock has fallen off. The nearest town is Teekoy. Numerous mountain streams originate from this peak and flow down to form the Meenachil River.
Aruvikuzhy Waterfalls is a waterfall in Kottayam district in the Kerala state of India. It is situated 2 km from Pallickathode and 7.5 km from Pampady. The waterfall measures about 30 ft in height and active only during monsoon. In summer the river almost dries up.

This independent project investigates the design and control of photonic neural networks. I focused on the thermal control and calibration of network components, as well as demonstrating that the network dynamics were sufficient to solve standard non-linear classification problems.
Additionally, as a component of this thesis, I created LightLab, a general laboratory simulation environment. All calibration and training procedures in this thesis could be tested on simulated laboratory instruments. This allowed for good agreement between simulated and empirical results.
LightLab is currently closed-source by Princeton.
An quasi-independent project (due to some unforeseen circumstances) for Car Lab (ELE 302), Ball Catcher was designed to track and catch a thrown projectile. I had to design and build the chassis and holonomic drivetrain to maximize the catch radius, design and wire four H-Bridges for responsive current deliver, and implement a controller to predict the landing position of the projectile and guide the robot in that direction.
Implementation and Design is Open-Source. Presented at Princeton.
In this partner project, we designed an integrated system to utilize quantum randomness in linear optics. Compared to classical pseudo-random schemes, we determined that this system (along with other similar systems) is not power efficient for a practical number of bits with current single-photon avalanche diode technology.
Final investigation was not published due to negative results.
This independent project consists of three experimental designs ready for fabrication, each of which investigates the process of expanding neuromorphic photonic technology to include spatial mode division multiplexing.
Fabrication and experimentation in progress. Presented at Princeton.
A partner project for the Cryptocurrencies Graduate Seminar (COS 597E), this is an implementation of the CoinJoin algorithm. It takes advantage of the multi-output property of bitcoin transactions to grant true anonymity instead of just pseudonymity.
Implementation is Open-Source. Presented at Princeton.
In this small-team project (for which I participated in 2014 and mentored in 2017), we designed to build a little robot to autonomously solve a maze.
Open-Source. Competed at Brown.
A protocol and prototype independently designed and built for a now-defunct start-up, EMP is an encrypted, distributed messaging platform similar to BitMessage, but with higher bandwidth and added privacy features.
Open-Source.
This small group hack aids the deaf and hard-of-hearing by telling the user where speech is coming from in addition to providing standard speech-to-text subtitles.
Open-Source. Recognized at Greylock Hackfest.
This small group hack uses trained contours to transcribe individual American Sign Language (ASL) letters in real time. While originally written to take advantage of mobile platforms, the code works cross-platform.
Open-Source. Recognized at HackPrinceton.
P-Auth allows users to authenticate based on eye movements using the face recognition API of Project Oxford. Users first register by training a face with a single picture. They can then login by sending two pictures of their face that differ only through pupil movement in a random direction as dictated by the server.
Open-Source. Recognized at HackPrinceton.
BTC Oracle provides a means to create a cryptographically enforced contract based on arbitrary conditions written in python. We also developed a local application that runs alongside your existing bitcoin wallet (bitcoind) and provides an interface to the oracle itself. More information about oracles can be found on the Bitcoin Wiki.
Open-Source. Presented at HackPrinceton.
