Last month I spent a week working on IoT projects with a group of 40 researchers, designers and coders... in Anstruther, a small fishing village in Scotland. Not a high-tech hub, but that was the point. We immersed ourselves in a small community with limited connectivity and interesting weather (and fantastic F&C) in order to explore how they use technology and how ubiquitous physical computing might be woven into their lives.
The ideamonsters behind this event were Michelle Thorne and Jon Rogers, who are putting on a series of these exploratory events around the world this year as part of the Mozilla Foundation's Open IoT Studio. The two previous editions of this event were a train caravan in India and a fablab sprint in Berlin (which I also attended, and will write up as well. I SWEAR.).
Michelle and Jon will be writing a proper summary of the week as a whole, so I'm going to focus on the project my group built: Bubble.
Context
From research conducted with local fishing folk, farmers from a bit inland, and a group of teenagers from the local school, we figured out a few things:
- Mobile connectivity is sparse and unreliable throughout the whole region. In this particular town, only about half the town had any service.
- The important information, places and things aren't immediately obvious unless you know a local.
- Just like I was, growing up in a small town: The kids are just looking for something to do. Initially we focused on the teens... fun things like virtual secret messaging at the red telephone boxes. Imagine you connect to the wifi at the phone box, and the captive portal is a web UI for leaving and receiving secret messages. Perhaps they're only read once before dying, like a hyperlocal Snapchat. Perhaps the system is user-less, mediated only by secret combinations of emojis as keys. The street corner becomes the hangout, physically and digitally.
We meandered to public messaging from there, thinking about how there's so much to learn and share about the physical space. What's the story behind the messages to fairies that are being left in that phone box? I can see the island off the coast from here - what's it called and what's out there?  Maybe we make a public message board as well - disconnected from the internet but connected to anything within view.
We kept going back to the physical space. We talked about a virtual graffiti wall, and then started exploring AR and ways of marking up the surroundings - the people, the history, the local pro-tip on which fish and chips shop is the best. But all of this available only to people in close physical proximity.
Implementation
Given the context and the constraints, as well as watching direction some of the other groups were going in, we started designing a general approach to bringing digital interactivity to disconnected spaces.
The first cut is Bubble: A wi-fi access point with a captive portal that opens a web page that displays an augmented reality view of your immediate surroundings, with messages overlaid on what you're seeing:
A few implementation notes:
- We used a Raspberry Pi 3, running as a wi-fi access point.
- It ran a node.js script that served up the captive portal web UI.
- The web UI used getUserMedia to access the device camera awe.js for the AR bits and A-Frame for a VR backup view on iOS.
- We designed a logo and descriptive text and then lasercut some plaques to put up where hotspots are. Designs, board, battery and boxes:
Connected to the front-end:
In the final box:
Challenges:
- Captive portals are hobbled web pages. You can't do things like use getUserMedia to get access to the camera.
- iOS doesn't have any way to let web pages access the camera.
- Power can be hard. We talked about solar and other ways of powering these.
- Gotta hope they don't get nicked. Bubble was an experimental prototype. There are no plans to work further on it at this time. If you're interested, everything is on Github here. You can read more about the design here (PDF).
Thanks to fellow team members Julia Gratsova, Katie Caldwell, Vladan Joler. (Sadly, no Julia in the phonebox!)

First and foremost, you will need Erlang installed. On Mac OS X, this is as easy as executing brew install erlang
or on Ubuntu apt-get install
erlang
. You can also install Erlang from the various pre-built packages provided on the official Erlang
download page or from the Erlang
Solutions page (supports many more package types).
If you will be using rebar
to build LFE, you’ll need to get that too.
You will need to download git or install it using your favorite package manager.
Next, you will need to download LFE itself:
$ git clone git://github.com/rvirding/lfe.git
With the dependencies installed, we’re now ready to build LFE.
make
$ cd ./lfe
$ erlc -o src src/lfe_scan.xrl
$ make
Ordinarily, only the make
command would be necessary. However, there’s currently an issue with the Makefile
that temporarily requires that first step.
rebar
Alternatively, one may use rebar
to build LFE:
$ cd ./lfe
$ rebar compile
On non-development systems, or any system where you don’t want to run LFE from a git checkout, installing system-wide is the preferred way to use LFE. If you set your $ERL_LIBS
environment variable, LFE will install there. Here’s how one might do this on a Mac OS X system with Erlang installed by Homebrew:
$ export ERL_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib
$ make install
You can then check that everything is where you expect:
$ ls -1 $ERL_LIBS|grep lfe
lfe-0.7
Now you can use LFE from anywhere:
$ erl
Erlang R15B03 (erts-<IP_ADDRESS>) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]
Eshell V<IP_ADDRESS> (abort with ^G)
1> lfe_shell:start().
LFE Shell V<IP_ADDRESS> (abort with ^G)
<0.33.0>
>
Once you’ve got LFE built, you want to play with it, right? Let’s take a look at the REPL (interactive shell) first.
To start the REPL, simply run the lfe
script and tell erl
(which is being run in the script) which additional code paths it should look for (in this case, the compiled LFE code):
$ ./bin/lfe -pa ./ebin
This assumes that you are still in the lfe
directory where you build LFE. Running that command will dump you into the LFE REPL, looking something like this:
Erlang R15B03 (erts-<IP_ADDRESS>) [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [async-threads:0] ...
LFE Shell V<IP_ADDRESS> (abort with ^G)
>
Note that you can also start the the LFE shell manually from an existing Erlang shell (as we did earlier in this guide) or you can pass parameters to erl
to start it up:
$ erl -pa ebin -s lfe_boot -noshell -noinput
Now try doing some basic operations:
> (+ 1 2 3)
6
> (cons 1 2)
(1 . 2)
> (cons (list 1 2) (list 3 4))
((1 2) 3 4)
>
Next, let’s operate on some variables:
> (let ((x 123456789)) x)
123456789
> (let ((x 123456789)) (* x x))
15241578750190521
> (let ((x 123456789)) (* x x x x))
232305722798259244150093798251441
>
Looking good!
Okay, so now that you can run things in the REPL, you want to run them as a script, yes? Here’s how.
Let’s create a temporary subdirectory to play in without fear of messing up our LFE directory:
$ mkdir tmp
$ cd tmp
Then, in that directory, let’s create the following file and save it as hello.lfe
:
(defmodule hello
(export (start 0)))
(defun start ()
(: io format '"Lfe says 'Hello, World!'~n"))
To compile that script and then run it, we can do this:
$ ../bin/lfec hello.lfe
$ ../bin/lfe -s hello start -s erlang halt
Or, if we want to use Erlang directly, we could do this:
$ erl -pa ../ebin -s lfe_comp file hello -s erlang halt
$ erl -pa ../ebin -s hello start -s erlang halt
Or, we could compile it and run it in the same command:
$ erl -pa ../ebin -s lfe_comp file hello -s hello start -s erlang halt
Note that this is the command line equivalent of the following:
$ erl -pa ../ebin
1> lfe_comp:file(hello).
{ok,hello}
2> hello:start().
Lfe says 'Hello, World!'
ok
3>
You can also use your new hello.lfe
script in the REPL itself. There are two ways you can do this, using slurp
or compiling the file. If you use slurp
, all the functions are pulled into the shell namespace, and you won’t have to reference the module name. Again, assuming that you are in lfe/tmp
:
$ ../bin/lfe -pa ../ebin
> (slurp '"hello.lfe")
#(ok hello)
> (start)
Lfe says 'Hello, World!'
ok
>
If you choose to compile your module instead, you will use it like so:
$ ../bin/lfe -pa ../ebin
> (c '"hello")
#(module hello)
> (: hello start)
Lfe says 'Hello, World!'
ok
>
Note that in the second example, you need to reference the module.
For more information on the LFE shell, be sure to see the “REPL” section of the User Guide Introduction.
Taking advantage of the Erlang stdlib is straightforward. All you need to do is prepend the call with a :
and adjust to use the LFE syntax vs. the Erlang syntax.
In fact, we’ve already seen an example of this in Section 2 when we called (: io format ...)
as part of a “Hello World.”
Here’s an example base64
usage from the Erlang stdlib
:
> (: base64 encode_to_string '"Space is big. Really big.")
"U3BhY2UgaXMgYmlnLiBSZWFsbHkgYmlnLg=="
> (: base64 decode_to_string '"QW5kIHNvIHRoZSBVbml2ZXJzZSBlbmRlZC4=")
"And so the Universe ended."
One of the first things that people want to do with LFE is examine the message passing syntax so that they can compare it with vanilla Erlang. Here’s a small example of what this looks like in LFE:
(defun print-result ()
(receive
(msg
(: io format '"Received message: '~s'~n" (list msg))
(print-result))))
If that was saved in a module called messenger
, then one could utilize it thusly:
> (set pid (spawn 'messenger 'print-result ()))
<0.34.0>
> (! pid '"Ford is missing.")
"Ford is missing."
Received message: 'Ford is missing.'
For more information on working with processes in LFE, be sure to view the tutorial.
Related to this, you can find details and discussion around OTP and creating your own servers in the OTP Servers tutorial.
Finally, accessing code that is written in third-party libraries is exactly the same. Simply use the modules they have provided. If you started the LFE REPL pointing to your third-party libraries with a -pa
(path) option, then all you have to do is this:
> (: your-module some-function '"some parameter")
That’s it!
This has been a quick overview of what LFE has to offer, so you might enjoy reading the User Guide next. You can see all our docs at a glance by visiting the Docs page.
If at any time you would like to provide feedback about the documentation on this site, feel free to create an issue. Be sure to give a full description so that we can best help you!

Who we are (becoming) cannot be thought apart from what we encounter.
"The world has always been in the middle of things, in unruly and practical conversation, full of action and structured by a startling array of actants and of networking and unequal collectives" (Haraway, "The Promise of Monsters")
"Form and content are short-lived, and this makes them false starters. In a politics attuned to emergent difference, we must begin instead in the midst, where force has not yet tuned to form. In this middle, where the event is still welling, there is potential for new diagrams of life-living to be drawn" (Manning, *The Minor Gesture*)

"To read diffractively implies a certain *suddenness*"
(van der Tuin, "Signals Falling")
"Diffraction does not produce 'the same' displaced, as reflection and refraction do. Diffraction is a mapping of interference, not of replication, reflection, or reproduction. A diffraction pattern does not map where differences appear, but rather maps where the *effects* of difference appear ... Science fiction is generically concerned with the interpenetration of boundaries between problematic selves and unexpected others and with the exploration of possible worlds in a context structured by transnational technoscience"
(Haraway, "The Promise of Monsters")
"*Ordinary Affects* is an experiment, not a judgement" (Stewart, *Ordinary Affects*)
"Full of resonating stories, encounters quirky in their unapologetic ordinariness, and murmuring objects, this book takes me into the thick world of the everyday in the U.S.A." (Haraway on *Ordinary Affects*)
"**Meaning is not an ideality; meaning is material.** And matter isn't what exists separately from meaning. Mattering is a matter of what comes to matter and what doesn't. Difference isn't given. It isn't fixed. Subject and object, wave and particle, position and momentum do not exist outside of specific intra-actions that enact cuts that make separations--not absolute separations, but only contingent separations" (Barad, "Diffracting Diffraction")
"Reading diffractively is a methodology that wants to stay clear from classifactory reading (reading *from* or *for* an authoritative classification of ideas, a regulation of dependence that is often implicit and stays unacknowledged)" (van der Tuin, "Signals Falling")
"...the diffractive method allows us to affirm links between seemingly opposite schools of thought, thus breaking through a politics of negation. At the same time, it allows us to affirm and strengthen links between schools of thought or scholars that only *apparently* work toward the same goals. Diffraction, then, is the strategy with which new concepts or traditions, new philosophies, can be engendered" (van der Tuin "A Different Starting Point, A Different Metaphysics")
Reading, the encounter among reader and text, is itself a diffraction. Who and what I am (becoming) is iteratively reconfigured in the reading, by the encounter with the text.
"I’m always looking for terms that are not 'memoir' to describe autobiographical writing that exceeds the boundaries of the 'personal,' and since this book has more theory in it than other books of mine, it seemed an apt description" (Nelson, "Riding the Blinds")
"This book is not a memoir. This book is a testosterone-based, voluntary intoxication protocol, which concerns the body and affects of BP. A body-essay. […] If things must be pushed to the extreme, this is a somato-political fiction, a theory of the self, a self-theory" (Preciado *Testo Junkie*)
Butler
"I mean writing that dramatizes the way in which we are for another or by virtue of another, not in a single instance, but from the start and always" (Nelson, The Argonauts)
*autotheory* (n): . . .
"We owe each other everything" (Moten & Harney *The Undercommons*)
"What does my body consist of?" (Paolo, *Body Toxic*)
"I'm the product of my mother and father's DNA and of their DDE: these lay down with the in their nuptial chamber. A mouthful of breastmilk and DDE formed by my first human meal. At the resurrection of the body we will carry these along with our sins to the throne of judgement. Peter will weigh them: sins, graces, pesticides, radiation" (Paolo, *Body Toxic*)
"What does my body consist of?" (Paolo, *Body Toxic*)
"I think I shall write memoirs about life in America, and my philosophy and opinions about it. Then I will wrap it in mud or clay, and someday I shall bury it for people far in the future to find" (Paolo, *Body Toxic*)
"That's what this book means. We are talking to our 'masters.' Very gently and subtly. Dogs are true leaders and strong teachers as the life of Eileen Myles *after* my own life will show" (Myles *Afterglow (a dog memoir)*)
Preciado / T: "This book is a testosterone-based, voluntary intoxication protocol"
Paolo / DDT: "I'm the product of my mother and father's DNA and of their DDE"
Nelson / Butler: "...we are *for another or by virtue of another*"
Myles / Rosie: "Dogs are true leaders and strong teachers"
"There is no 'I' that exists outside of the diffraction pattern, observing it, telling its story. In an important sense, this story in its ongoing (re)patterning is (re)(con)figuring me. 'I' am neither outside nor inside; 'I' am *of* the diffraction pattern. Or rather, this 'I' that is not 'me' alone and never was, that is always already multiply dispersed and diffracted throughout spacetime(mattering), including in this paper, in its ongoing being-becoming is *of* the diffraction pattern" (Barad, "Diffracting Diffraction")
Autotheory does not require diffractive reading, but performs and enacts a series of diffractions both narratively and within the relational encounter we call reading.
"*The aim is not to answer questions, it's to get out, to get out of it*" (Nelson, *The Argonauts*, Parnet & Deleuze *Dialogues*)
"...my *aim is not to rediscover the eternal or the universal, but to find the conditions under which something new is produced* (creativeness)" (Nelson, *The Argonauts*, Parnet & Deleuze *Dialogues*)

After many years of working with developers, one of the most common problems faced by the ops and support team is code that doesn't work on production systems.
This is often caused by subtle differences in the developers machine. Software versions of components, different install locations and different shared libraries. All these can have an impact on code that works fine on one machine or server, but won't install or run on another.
Following our structure and automation, we can provide a machine that looks exactly the same as test and production. Allowing the developers access to the tools needed to build their own machine, via Jenkins for example, everyone is empowered to build and develop knowing that everyone on the team is on the same page and has the same environment or environments to work with.
Some customers have a number of environments to develop and test systems in. Often these are:
development - often shortened to DEV. This can be virtual machines on the developers own computer.
testing - TEST, to pass the initial automated test, (yes those can be automated too, allowing your testers more time to diagnose)
integration - This is usually a bigger environment and has links to other systems in the business to test integration between components and systems.
UAT - User acceptance testing. Where user journeys are tested end to end.
Performance - Load testing occurs at this level, ensuring that the servers can cope with high load, stress testing all the components and can test the scaling code. This helps defend against the slashdot effect.
Preprod or staging - the final environment before production. allows for dry runs of installation or roll out of new code.
Production - Live, The final stage and where your customers really see the efforts of the team.
With so many environments it is important to have version control every step of the way and a release process to enable everyone involved to understand where they stand and how their efforts will effect the overall position of the company.
Please contact us about this and any projects you are thinking about.


Equivalent to clicking the Solver command on the Tools menu and clicking the Delete button in the Solver Parameters dialog box. Deletes an existing constraint.
If this function is not available, you must install the Solver add-in.
Syntax
SOLVER.DELETE(cell_ref, relation, formula)
For an explanation of the arguments and constraints, see SOLVER.ADD.
Remarks
If the combination of cell_ref and relation does not match any existing constraint, the function returns the value 4 and no action is taken. If the constraint is found, it is deleted, and the function returns the value 0.

Object Methods
Object Methods
Iterating Through Objects
Objects store unorderedkey
-value
pairs.
With Objects we can not rely on indices to access values.
Meaning
- we'll have to iterate through objects in new ways to
access the keys
and values within.
This article will cover:
-
Iterate through Object
keys
andvalues
using afor...in
loop -
Use the
Object.keys
and theObject.values
methods to iterate through an Object.
For In Loop
We can use special syntax to iterate through each
key
of an
object (in
arbitrary order). This is super useful for
looping through
both
the keys and
values of an object.
The syntax looks like this:
// The current key is assigned to *variable* on each iteration.
for (let variable in object) {
statement;
}
ex.)
let obj = { name: "Rose", cats: 2 };
// The key we are accessing is assigned to the `currentKey`
// *variable* on each iteration.
for (let currentKey in obj) {
console.log(currentKey);
}
// prints out:
// name
// cats
The example above prints all the keys found in
obj
to the
screen.
On each iteration of the loop, the
key
we are
currently accessing is assigned to thecurrentKey
variable.
To access values in an object, we would throw some bracket
notation
into the mix:
let obj = { name: "Rose", cats: 2 };
for (let key in obj) {
let value = obj[key];
console.log(value);
}
// prints out:
// Rose
// 2
You can only use variable keys when using bracket notation
(obj[key]
)!
Like all variables, you can name the current key variable whatever you like -
just be descriptive! Here is an example of using a descriptive name for a key
variable:
let employees = {
manager: "Angela",
sales: "Gracie",
service: "Paul"
};
for (let title in employees) {
let person = employees[title];
console.log(person);
}
// prints out:
// Angela
// Gracie
// Paul
What’s a method?
A method is essentially a function that belongs to an object.
That means that every
method is a function,
but
not
every function
is a method.
-
myFunc
is a function -
myObject.myFunc
is a method of the objectmyObject
-
myObject["myFunc"]
is a method of the objectmyObject
A method is just a key-value pair where the key is the function name and the
value is the function definition! Let's use what we learned earlier to teach
our dog some new tricks:
let dog = {
name: "Fido"
};
// defining a new key-value pair where the *function name* is the key
// the function itself is the value!
dog.bark = function() {
console.log("bark bark!");
};
// this is the same thing as above just using Bracket Notation
dog["speak"] = function(string) {
console.log("WOOF " + string + " WOOF!!!");
};
dog.bark(); // prints `bark bark!`
dog.speak("pizza"); // prints `WOOF pizza WOOF!!!`
Additionally, we can give objects methods when we initialize them:
let dog2 = {
name: "Rover",
bark: function() {
console.log("bork bork!");
},
speak: function(string) {
console.log("BORK " + string + " BORK!!!");
}
};
// Notice that in the object above, we still separate the key-value pairs with commas.
// `bark` and `speak` are just keys with functions as values.
dog2.bark(); // prints `bork bork!`
dog2.speak("burrito"); // prints `BORK burrito BORK!!!`
To invoke, or call, a method we need to specify
which
object is calling that method. In the example above the
dog2
object had
the bark
method
so to invoke
bark
we had to
specify it was
dog2
's
method:
dog2.bark()
.
Useful Object Methods
Iterating through keys using
Object.keys
The
Object.keys
method accepts an object as the argument and returns an array of
the keys within that
Object.
> let dog = {name: "Fido", age: "2"}
undefined
> Object.keys(dog)
['name', 'age']
> let cup = {color: "Red", contents: "coffee", weight: 5}
undefined
> Object.keys(cup)
['color', 'contents', 'weight']
The return value of
Object.keys
method is an array of keys - which is useful
for iterating!
Iterating through keys using
Object.values
The
Object.values
method accepts an object as the argument and returns an
array
of the values within
that Object.
> let dog = {name: "Fido", age: "2"}
undefined
> Object.values(dog)
['Fido', '2']
> let cup = {color: "Red", contents: "coffee", weight: 5}
undefined
> Object.keys(cup)

For a week I had been reading about the effects of LSA and all their sources and decided that Heavenly Blue's were the most effective and practical drug to take. I ran down to the local hardware store and bought 6 grams of the seeds, making sure that they didn't have any herbicides or pesticides in them. I them proceeded to take 100 seeds as a kind of test.
About half an hour later I began to feel the nausea and headache, but it didn't feel necessarily bad... the more I thought about it, the more abstract the feeling became. I began to look at it as a whole, with the cause, effect, and ending all clearly in sight. I could see the full nature of the discomfort in a way I never thought humanly possible.
At some point I passed out on the couch, awaking to a world that was at once familiar and foreign. Everything was where it was supposed to be, and doing what it was supposed to do, but it was also changed in ways a person could not understand, only sense. At this point I realised I was extremely sick, and in a great deal of physical pain in my limbs, although still distant, yet more profound than anything one could experience.
For around an hour I sat, staring at the wall, reflecting upon the relationship between the feelings of well and ill. I then noticed a strange lacking in everything around me. As if something was missing. I spent around 10 minutes searching physically for this missing thing before realising that all sensory perception is in one's mind, and that it is merely the state of one's consciousness that determines what something looks, tastes, sounds, or feels like, and that this in turn meant that reality was an emotion or thought proccess. The feeling disappeared very suddenly. Feeling very content somehow, I spent the rest of the day drifting between sleep and wonder at my surroundings.
For two days I felt the after-effects of it, with nausea being there more or less constantly. It had changed, however, with it no longer being a bad sensation, merely a sensation to be explored and developed.
I have only tried these seeds once more after that, with similar effects, and have gained new understanding and respect for all things in the universe. I highly recommend these seeds to anyone who wishes to find another state of thinking and being in the Universe, and I urge anyone who has tried them not to take it as a simple hallucination, but as a new way of thinking about reality.

Happiness in the process of ever-growing aliveness, whatever the furthest point is that fate permits one to reach, for living as fully as one can is so satisfactory that the concern for what one might or might not attain has little chance to develop.


Hi my name is Carlo and I am an aspiring web developer. I attended the University of Washington to pursue a journalism degree. Coming out of high school I always thought that writing for a tech or game publication was the career that I wanted to pursue. In that time studying journalism I always had an interest in the internet and web development, but I never thought that it was something that I could do. After some time I decided to give it a try and it brought me to Code Fellows. I'm only in the beginning stage of my journey but I feel like web development has opened my eyes not only to a whole new world and career path, but it also gives me a chance to come full circle and work on the technology side of a tech or game publication in the future.


Chetan Shivram wins INRC Round 4 as Gaurav Gill retires
by Unnatee GidithuriChetan Shivram secured his second INRC win of the year as the punishing stages in Bengaluru caught out several heavyweights.
The Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) has faced a few setbacks in the past few months, the most recent one being the cancellation of the Popular Rally in Kerala. However, the championship finally resumed its 2019 season with the K-1000 Rally held in Bengaluru. The event ended up being attrition-ridden, with several heavyweights suffering retirements – something that Chetan Shivram took advantage of to secure his second win of the season.
The rally marked Gaurav Gill’s much-awaited return to competitive rallying following the tragic incident that occurred in the third round in Jodhpur in September. And the defending INRC champion grabbed the headlines on the first day of the event, exhibiting caution and control in the punishing stages to secure the overall lead by a margin of nearly 50sec after the first day. Unfortunately for Gill, he was hit with bad luck the next day; he couldn't start his Super XUV300 following the punishment it bore in the previous day and he was forced to pull out of the event.
Gill wasn’t the only frontrunner to face issues, as Dean Mascarenhas and championship leader Fabid Ahmer also retired from the rally. All this allowed Team Akshara’s Chetan Shivram, who was competing in the INRC 3 category, to win the rally and move into the overall lead. Earlier this year, Shivram had also won the Rally of Coimbatore (Round 2 of the INRC) in a similar fashion.
Team Champions’ Bikku Babu finished 12 seconds behind Shivram to take 2nd place. He managed to defeat Shivram in stages 5 and 8, but that wasn’t enough for him to secure victory. However, his time was good enough to fetch him the win in the INRC 2 category. In what was some consolation for the team following Gill’s retirement, Mahindra Adventure secured a podium finish with Amittrajit Ghosh taking 3rd place.
K-1000 Rally also marked the finale of the SUV challenge, with Team Champions’ Gagan Karumbaiah securing the first place to seal the 2019 title.

Rayleigh¶
The rayleigh
module contains structures for computing Rayleigh
scattering.
- class pyrt.rayleigh.RayleighCO2(wavelength, column_density)[source]¶
A structure to compute CO 2 Rayleigh scattering arrays.
RayleighCO2 creates the optical depth, single scattering albedo, and Legendre coefficient decomposition phase function arrays due to Rayleigh scattering by CO 2 in each of the layers.
- Parameters
wavelength (numpy.ndarray) – Wavelength at which Rayleigh scattering will be computed.
column_density (numpy.ndarray) – Column density in the model layers.
- Raises
TypeError – Raised if
wavelength
orcolumn_density
is not a numpy.ndarray.ValueError – Raised if any values in
wavelength
orcolumn_density
are unphysical, or if they have incompatible shapes. See the note below for more details.
- Return type
None
Notes
In the general case of a hyperspectral imager with MxN pixels and W wavelengths,
wavelength
can have shape WxMxN. In this case,column_density
should have shape ZxMxN, where Z is the number of model layers. The 0 th dimension can have different shapes between the arrays but the subsequent dimensions (if any) should have the same shape.References
The values used here are from Sneep and Ubachs 2005
Due to a typo in the paper, I changed the coefficient to 10 3 when using equation 13 for computing the index of refraction.
- property optical_depth: numpy.ndarray¶
Get the Rayleigh optical depth.
- property phase_function: numpy.ndarray¶
Get the Legendre decomposition of the phase function.
Notes
The shape of this array is (3, n_layers, (spectral_shape)). The 0 th and 2 nd coefficient along the 0 th axis are 1 and 0.5, respectively.
- property single_scattering_albedo: numpy.ndarray¶
Get the Rayleigh single scattering albedo.
Notes
The shape of this array is (n_layers, (spectral_shape)).


EICMA 2019: Hero Xpulse 200 with Rally kit unveiled
by Aditya JadhavHero Xpulse 200 equipped with a different and more hardcore set of cycle parts has been unveiled at the EICMA 2019 in Milan. The changes/upgrade has been dubbed the 'Rally kit' which can be retro-fitted on a Hero Xpulse 200. However, the Rally kit has not been homologated which is why you will have to refrain yourself from using it on the road.
The Hero Xpulse 200 in its stock state gets suspension travel of 190mm and 170mm in the front and rear respectively. The Rally kit takes it a notch above and offers longer travel suspension along with compression and rebound adjustment. Jacked up suspension has also added to the ground clearance of the Xpulse 200 and the motorcycle with Rally kit will boast a ground clearance number of 275mm as opposed to the 220mm on the standard motorcycle.
Other changes are to the seat which is now flatter and offers a higher riding position. In regard to the changed riding position, the kit offers handlebar raiser that aids rider's while riding standing up. The gear lever and the brake pedal are longer for the ease of operation with riding boots on. The Rally kit also includes an upgraded set of tyres, from dual-sport Ceats to Maxxis rally-spec knobby tyres.
Mechanically, the engine remains untouched although Hero Moto Corp has tweaked the final drive ratio to offer more bottom-end and mid-range grunt. The sprocket size has been changed to 12/40T that offers a final drive ratio of 3.33. The exhaust fitted on the motorcycle showcased at the EICMA 2019 has an Akrapovic end can which is not a part of the Rally kit. That said, Hero is working on arrangements that can be made in order to fit an aftermarket exhaust system on your Xpulse 200 should you wish.
The Rally kit is likely to go on sale in India by the first quarter of 2020. The entire kit has been developed by Hero MotoCorp's Research and Development hub in India with inputs from the Hero MotoSports Team Rally. The kit is likely to be priced close to Rs 50,000 which is half the cost of the Hero Xpulse 200 in India. The Carburettor variant of the Hero Xpulse 200 retails at Rs 98,000 whereas the fuel-injected variant will set you back by Rs 1.06 lakh ex-showroom Mumbai.

1st time: About two years ago, a neighborhood punker kid brought what he claimed was ďsalviaĒ. He told me of the spiritualistic potential this legal plant entailed. I took one or two hits with absolutely no effect and never had the desire to try again until recently.
A little over two weeks ago, I purchased about four grams of Salvia Divinorum dried leaves from a local store.
2nd time: With a group of friends, took about five hits with minimal effects except some altered gravity sensations, clearer vision, and mild flushes. I felt something, but not nearly the salvinorin experience detailed by so many. Iím not certain if it was the salvia or the leftover cannabis resin from the pipe or carryover sensations from the early morning intoxication or general placebo effects. Disappointed, we mixed the salvia with marijuana. Only the effects of marijuana were recognized.
3rd time: Took five big hits with my inexperienced brother watching. It was hard on my lung to smoke the dried leaf since I held each hit in for about twenty seconds. Same effects as last time, with a sensation that the earth was pulling me down (very mild).
4th time: Took eight powerful hits by myself with no new impressive effects.
Frustrated, I ordered the standardized extract x5 through an Internet company somewhere in the Netherlands. When it finally arrived, I couldnít wait to try with my friend Jís new pipe.
1st hit: I was a little nervous since I was the only one who was smoking it. But for some reason, I was still confident that I would be able to handle it. I noticed the smoke tasted more potent. Within seconds, there was a burning/itching energy sensation that flowed through my entire body. I donít know why, but I associated the experience with the pattern of a round seven, visualizing this in my head. I had a strong sense of what I believed to be my spirit and felt like it was drowning underwater or melting to the ground.
In the meantime, I had the feeling that my tripsitters were laughing evil spirits and were encouraging my downfall. Then I remember my brother saying, ďYou should lie downĒ. I felt that he wanted me to lie down so that it would be easier for my soul to be taken without resistance. I forced myself up and ran upstairs in a paranoid tantrum. It felt like the earth was pulling me down (very strong), metaphorically like running on quicksand. As I ran back downstairs, the peak was over just as fast as it had begun. I was so confused about what just happened.
About ten minutes later, I tried again. This time I told my brother very sternly to watch me like a hawk and never leave my side. I also apologized to everyone for the accusations of trying to take my soul.
2nd hit: My brother began talking about Nicole Kidman to his roommate J. Although the conversation was completely innocent and superficial, I had assumed they were talking about how Nicole Kidman and other movie actors had tried salvia and had their souls taken away. I believed they were plotting a funeral for my soul. After a few more fearful seconds, I snapped out of my trance and was hysterical. My body was drenched with sweat. I began shouting at my brother for not keeping an eye on me (even though he did all along). As the peak effects wore off after two minutes, I began to put things into logical perspective. Out of the blue, I began to chuckle really hard for having such ludicrous ideas. But I couldnít stop laughing and the laughter continued on recursively for a few minutes.
Salvia Divinorum made me a solipsist and brought back memories from my old paranoia days of smoking weed. It also made me irrationally happy. I couldnít get enough and felt interrupted every time. I didnít expect a conclusion, but I needed at least a thesis to this madness. I waited about fifteen minutes and tried again.
3rd hit: I was in a deep calmer trance. The peak was still very intense, and I began to feel the objects around me spill their magnetic energies into me. Again, illogical possibilities seemed very plausible. I looked around the room and affirmed that we are part of this infinite circular slice. Iíve read some reports describing a ferris wheel of consciousness, and now I understood. After the peak, I did get some closure. It was neither happy nor sad to me, only neutral that we are always part of this universal giant wheel. Under the influence or not, we are always part of this universal giant wheel. I still wonder why it is spherical.
More compulsive this time, I took another hit as soon as I was able to (maybe three minutes later). I promised myself it would be the last time for tonight, and I kept it.
4th hit: Dimensions again seemed very twisted. The sofa twenty feet away seemed like it was reachable without me having to get up and stretch my arm to touch it. I could touch the sofa with my mind, from the front, the back and the sides. Very interesting.  I loved the feeling of laughing in a trance state.
Summary:
Please be careful and donít underestimate this substance. Iíve researched Salvia Divinorum quite a bit and I was still overwhelmed by the effects. Each time I tried salvia, the trips had their own unique and interesting characteristics. I did not feel any negative aftereffects, except for a mild afterglow that lasted about an hour.
I only wish that the salvinorin experience lasted longer so I could analyze and decipher my visions more. I felt that the onset, coming up and peak effects were simultaneous, immediate and overwhelmingly intense, but only lasted for two or three minutes at most. The coming down effects was mellow and relaxing, and resembled the experience of smoking dried leaf. In my opinion, the effects were less psychedelic, rushing and powerful in the familiar sense than 5-MeO-DMT, but more mentally involved and relevant for self-explorative purposes.
The dried leaves are shit (though Iíve had at least three friends confirm that strong effects can be achieved from smoking dried leaf, but do expect some failed attempts). I guess itís unfair to make any generalizations. My advice is to obtain the standardized extracts if possible. If youíre not familiar with the salvinorin experience, then it would be wise to start with x5.
Salvia Divinorum is without question the most unique and mysterious psychoactive substance Iíve ever encountered. Its effects are incomparable to any substance Iíve ever taken. I would recommend salvia to anyone interested in exploring altered state consciousness.

From the first sound experiment, this one just uses the volume to controll the red dot.
Ohh! Cool idea - as targets scroll by you have to controll the dot to get it at the right height then tap the screen to fire, closer to the target for higher score!
Unfortunatly the Web Audio API is not yet supported accross all Android devices so the development of this as an app was brought to a halt. Instead it's just an experiment now, built in the canvas.

and procedures for the PIRCS equipment. As such its access
will be controlled to certain domains.
Installed Software Index

User accounts
The items below are under development (as is everything here really)
code developement and analysis (tools on the PIRCS
systems)
Visualization: Xess, Spyglass, etc.
html authoring tools
systems admin (account management and creation, NFS, tape units, etc.)
resources (WWW and similar)
Thur., March 13: 1997
- All the printing functions are ready to go from all the UNIX
machines. I need to check each one and make sure I am referencing
the printer correctly and it should be done. I haven't brought the
color printer down yet since I don't have anything to put it on, I
may try and drag another small table I have at IITAP over here for
it. When I am done and everything is the "same" on all the machines
I will post the finalized print commands.
- The tape units are up and solid (tested) on
pircsa1.agron.iastate.edu as units rmt1h and rmt0h (there is a
note on them to tell you which is which). So you can
use:
tar cf /dev/rmt0h ./source
Note in the man pages that on the DEC's now you can not use a command
like
tar -fxv /dev/rmt0h
there are restrictions on how and where to use - now. The man pages
are pretty good (for a change) on this.
Also, mt works fine so
mt -f /dev/rmt1h rewind
and all the other mt commnads are operating as expected.
- The server is up and running with NFS and all the compilers. It is
exported to maggie, pircsa0 and pircsa1 at /local/mnt/ppircs. Accounts
are being made and I will get these out.
Wed., March 12: 1997
NFS is up and running, I have a 26 gig volume exported to pircsa0
for testing and it is looking good.
I will bring the printers and accounts up next and the compilers
will be installed as well today. On that note I have not heard back
form the comp cernter regarding compilers for the alpha's so I will
get back in touch with them, it's been over a week now.
Mon., March 10: 1997
Sorry for all the delays in providing updates here, it has been wild
getting everything together plus not falling behind on my other projects.
(I have of course fallen behind on the projects anyway) Here is the status
of events, it looks to all soon be done and up.
- Server is up and running for several days now. Drives are plexed
together and ready to go.
- ftp is operational, I created ftp.pircs.iastate.edu as an alias
- WWW is operational, I created www.pircs.iastate.edu as an alias
- The 8mm drives are on pircsa1 (I will provide info on accessing them
there). I don't have the scsi cables to hook them directly to the
server at this time, so I attached them there so that they could be used
if needed.
- I will bring the NFS and NIS systems on-line and then create
the mounting files for the computers.
- print services will be brought up at the same time
- expect accounts any day now.
Thur., Feb 27: 1997
- The memory has been added to both Alpha's. They are now
at 160 megs each (before system boot, which will eat into available space)
- The return of top. Top was not on the DEC UNIX distribution, I found
this hard to believe but true. I locted the source of top, but it uses
heavy gnu make dependancies in the make routine, so I have just brought over
a top binary. There seems to be some trouble with ncurses and the termcap
entry file. I will keep people posted on this and get top into the
standard bin path on both these machines.
Wed., Feb 26: 1997
Some people have asked if they will always have to deal with changing passwords
on all the different machines. Absolutely not. The server will run
NIS (yellow pages) so you will be able to deal with centralized passwords
and file systems, including home directories. I will provide more information
on this as well as some easy mods to your dot files so that you don't
have to worry if you are on the SGI's, alpha's or vincent machines.
Tuesday, Feb 25: 1997
The accounts are ready (no really, they are) and I will
bring over the info and drop it off (the username and temp passwds)
The following notes will be on the account sheet:
- The SGI's have a full set of Fortran and C/C++ compilers ready to go,
the Cosmo system is on the computers (I will put more info in the WWW site)
but the license has not been installed, I will do that soon. Netscape and
Java are also on these machines for those interested. Also the SGI integrated
dev environment is also on these, a very nice debugging and performance analysis
package for C/C++ and Fortran.
- The DEC alpha's came with a C compiler but not Fortran, I am talking
with the comp center to see if there is a site license we can get in on
for that (as well as ncar graphics and spyglass). Fortran binaries compiled
on Vincent can be ftp'ed to these machines and will run fine.
- Pircsa0 has a 2 gig drive located at /local/mnt/scsi5, it can be
used by anyone for extra local computer space. Space is more limited
at this time on pircsa1, use df -k to watch this for the time being.
- Office has been placed on the Windows and Mac machines in the room,
they are ready to be used, but I will need to install printer drivers on
them so they can see the (any) printer.
- TCP/IP is conflicting with another machine on the Mac, so
ethernet o it is down. I will have to get this resolved (which will
the 2nd time I got a bad number for this room from the comp center) :(
Send your problems/complaints/fashion tips to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and I will deal with them.
Tuesday, Feb 18: 1997
- I am touch with both Mary Davis and Cathy Beckman at central
stores. It looks like we will get the chairs from Ames
Stationers and the desks from central stores.
- The alpha's are now networked. I have a 2 gig drive over
here which I will add to one of them and bring it on-line
for people.
- I will work up a user registration sheet for accounts. I will
use this to provide information on and records of accounts. I will
use this to then distribute accounts to PIRCS users so they can
begin to work with the machines. The server should show up this
week, from the information I have.
- The Mac and PC are now set up. I will be placing x-hosting software
on both of these machine soon (I have this software ready to go). I will
fit both these systems out with as much software as I can and
index that information somewhere in www pages. I will do this the
other machines as well.
Sunday, Feb 16: 1997
I am working up most of my notes here so that people will
have a single page to reference to see the status of
efforts. I will try to keep this up-to-date, clean and
easy to use. If you have anything you would like to see here
or any comments, please let me know.
- The computers are coming on-line, I hope to have all
4 UNIX systems running by the end of Monday
- The printer is on-line with the SGI systems, hope to
have it end of Monday for Alpha's and soon for the Vincent
system. It's ready for Mac's and PC/Windows 95. Win 95 can
talk AppleTalk so you can get to it that way, I can show anyone
how to do this if you haven't done it before.
- I am not setting the Mac and PC/Windows machine up first, but
rather last in the assumption the UNIX machines are of more interest.
Please let me know if this is wrong.
- I can configure the color printer here at the start of this week
as well.
- I am still working on getting desks. I also have some
prices on new desks, I will bring this over on Monday
- The Alpha's came configured in such a way as they have almost
no disk space left over, I have a 2 gig drive I will bring over
and may have a 1 gig that can be used for a while on these machines
to solve this. There may also be some "intro" files on the systems
that may be large and be removed.
Reference Section
Very early development stage
Making user accounts
There are a few things to keep in mind in reference to making user
accounts on the systems. One is that if someone already has a Vincent
computer account you should use their UID from Vincent for the UID
on all the systems. You can get this from Vincent with the command:
hesinfo username passwd
For example:
hesinfo fils passwd
fils:*:1316:101:Douglas R Fils,89B Physics,(515) 294-6196,(515) 292-0597,:/home/fils:/bin/tcsh
This shows my vincent UID to be 1316.
I will work up a detailed page on the steps to add users to the various
machines, as well the the chlist additions for the vincent stations.
Also, a common root passwd should be decided upon for the machines
so that the popper people can be provided with this access.
NFS notes
When the drives arrive and are installed, I will use a common mount
point on all the NFS clients. Due to some restrictions with the mount
point on vincent workstations (NFS mount points only allowed in /local)
I am suggesting:
/local/mnt/nfs0
as the mount point on all the machines. This path can then be used in
the code and it can be compiled on the SGI's, Alpha's, Vincent, etc and
the path name will be common to all. I will sym link this on the O2000
as well, so even it will be able to use this directory path.
The mount command (must be executed as root) is then:
mount -tnfs pricss0.geol.iastate.edu:/usr/people/pircs /local/mnt/nfs0
this is only an example, until the machine is here, I can't put
the actual command
Printer notes
The LaserJet 5 is currently named LaserJet 5, I will get this changed
to something more like pircs_lj5 soon. When that is done I will
put details here on adding printers and how to print to them.
The SGI's are currently pointed at this printer, so the command
lp -dlaserejt5 file
will print to it. Note this is a SysV style lp system, not BSD
style lpr system as most people at ISU are used to. I will install
the BSD lpr package on the SGI's so both can be used. I will redo this
section as the printer details get refined.
HINT marks
As Prof. Arritt, has noted the only good benchmark is the program itself.
I couldn't agree more, however, I have a high degree of respect for
the HINT system developed at Ames Lab. As such I provide you a very
early look at the results I have for machines like those being used
by PIRCS.
In addition to the common caveats related to benchmarks I provide these
as well.
- The Alpha box does not have its full install of memory, this will
improve its performance, mostly in the later sections of this curve (representing
more complex operations).
- The SGI systems are running a version of the program compiled for
R4600 processors, not R5000 or R10000 cpu's. Their performance will improve
with native compiled code and the larger memory sizes we will run at.
- The Origin listed here is a 200 running the R4600 compiled benchmark.
Not the 2000 model that will be coming.
- The Mac and PC curves are from machines running under UNIX and not
MacOS or Windows 95. My experience shows that MacOS and Windows 95 will
not perform as well due to GUI overhead and inferior IO and memory management
routines. These curves should be considered "generous" in that regard.
- The vincent machine is a Dec 3000/300 with only 32 megs of memory.

isofs image files
As some data may be distributed in CD-ROM format, I will install
the isofs program. This is a UNIX side program we are
using to generate iso image files. Most all common CD-ROM
writing software can read these format files. It allows
for the creation of the CD-ROM "image" on the UNIX side
which can help preserve proper path and file names and also
helps to increase speed and reliability in the creation of
CD-ROM's. Currently this program exists for the IRIX
systems, I think I can compile it OK on the Dec UNIX systems
though as well.
Tape reference
I will expand this section later with more details and
information regarding reading, writing and tape manipulation.
Multi-tape archives, moving forward and backward in multi-archive
tapes, etc.
For now I will note the following tapes as supported:
- 4mm DDS 1
- 4mm DDS 2
- 8mm Exabyte (There is no such thing as just "Exabyte"
support, I will detail the exact Exabyte tape formats we can
read and write later)
X server on the PC's and xhosting notes
I have software for both the Windows and Mac computer to allow them
to xhost to the UNIX machines. This can be done to Vincent as well, but
the Dec Alpha's on vincent require that I create some /local/etc files
to setup the permissions correctly (The ULTRIX boxes don't require these
edits).
I will configure these programs and place information here on their
use as well as general information about xhosting here.
Network topology
I worked up a quick layout of how I am currently planning the room.
Please ignore scaling aspects, this is only for location references.
As always, this is your room, please let me know if you have any
ideas or problems with my working plans.
I will add details here regarding computer type, configuration, IP
information, OS type, etc. It is because I do plan to put this
information here that I strongly suggest making this page viewable
to a restricted set of people and or domains.

Inventors of the original artificial neural networks (NNs) derived their inspiration from biology. However, as artificial NNs progressed, their design was less guided by neuroscience facts. Meanwhile, progress in neuroscience has altered our conceptual understanding of neurons. Consequently, we believe that many successful artificial NNs resemble natural NNs only superficially violating fundamental constraints imposed by biological hardware.
The wide gap between the artificial and natural NN designs raises intriguing questions: What algorithms underlie natural NNs? Can insights from biology help build better artificial NNs?
This is the first of a series of posts aimed at explaining recent progress made by my collaborators and myself towards biologically plausible NNs. Such networks can serve both as models of natural NNs and as general purpose artificial NNs. We have found that respecting biological constraints actually helps development of artificial NNs by guiding design decisions.
In this post, I cover the background material, going back several decades. I sketch a biological neuron, introduce primary biological constraints, and discuss the conventional approach to deriving artificial NNs. I will show that while the conventional approach generates a reasonable algorithmic model of a single biological neuron, multi-neuron networks violate biological constraints. In future posts we will see how to fix that.
A Sketch of a Biological Neuron
Here is the minimum biological background needed to understand the rest of the post.
A biological neuron receives signals from multiple neurons, computes their weighted sum and generates a signal transmitted to multiple neurons, Figure 1. Each neuron’s signaling activity is quantified by the firing rate, which is a nonnegative real number that varies over time. Each synapse scales the input from the corresponding upstream neuron onto the receiving neuron by its weight. The receiving neuron sums scaled inputs, i.e. computes the inner product of the upstream activity vector and the synaptic weight vector. The inner product passes through a nonlinearity called the activation function and the output is transmitted to downstream neurons.
Synaptic weight changes over time, typically, on a slower time scale than neuronal signals. The weight depends on neuronal signals per so-called learning rules. For example, in commonly used Hebbian learning rules, synaptic weight is proportional to the correlation between the activities of the two neurons a synapse connects, i.e. pre- and postsynaptic.
Figure 1: A biological neuron modelled by an online algorithm. Left: A biological neuron receives inputs from the upstream neurons (green) which are scaled by the weights of corresponding synapses (blue). The neuron (black) computes output, $y$, as a function of the weighted input sum. Right: Online algorithm outputs an activation function of the inner product of the synaptic weight vector and an upstream activity vector. Synaptic weights are modified by neuronal activities (dashed line) per learning rules.
Primary Biological Constraints
To determine which algorithmic models in this post are biologically plausible, we can focus on a few key biological constraints.
Biologically plausible algorithms must be formulated in the online (or streaming), rather than offline (or batch), setting. This means that input data are streamed to the algorithm sequentially, one sample at a time, and the corresponding output must be computed before the next input sample arrives. The output communicated to downstream neurons cannot be modified in the future. A neuron cannot store individual past inputs or outputs except in a highly compressed format limited to synaptic weights and a few state variables.
In biologically plausible NNs, learning rules must be local. This means that the synaptic weight update may depend on the activities of only the two neurons a synapse connects, as for example, in Hebbian learning. Activities of other neurons are not physically available to a synapse and therefore including them into learning rules would be biologically implausible. Modern artificial NNs, such as backpropagation-based deep learning networks, rely on nonlocal learning rules.
Our initial focus is on unsupervised learning. This is not a hard constraint, but rather a matter of priority. Whereas humans are clearly capable of supervised learning, most of our learning tasks lack big labeled datasets. On the mechanistic level, most neurons lack a clear supervision signal.
Single-neuron Online Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
In 1982, Oja proposed modeling a neuron by an online PCA algorithm. PCA is a workhorse of data analysis used for dimensionality reduction, denoising, and latent factor discovery. Therefore, Oja’s seminal paper established that biological processes in a neuron can be viewed as the steps of an online algorithm solving a useful computational objective.
Oja’s single-neuron online PCA algorithm works as follows. At each time step, $t$, it receives an input data sample, ${\bf x_t}$, computes and outputs the corresponding top principal component value, $y_t$:
Here and below lowercase boldfaced letters designate vectors. Then the algorithm updates the (normalized) feature vector,
The feature vector, ${\bf w}$, converges to the eigenvector of input covariance if data are drawn i.i.d from a stationary distribution.
The steps of the Oja algorithm (1.1-1.2) correspond to the operations of the biological neuron. If the input vector is represented by the activities of the upstream neurons, (1.1) represents weighted summation of the inputs by the output neuron. If the activation function is linear the output, $y_t$, is simply the weighted sum. The update (1.2) is a local Hebbian synaptic learning rule. The first term of the update is proportional to the correlation of the pre- and postsynaptic neurons’ activities and the second term, also local, normalizes the synaptic weight vector.
A Normative Theory
Next, we would like to build on Oja’s insightful identification of biological processes with the steps of the online PCA algorithm by computing multiple principal components using multi-neuron NNs and including the activation nonlinearity.
Instead of trying to extend the Oja model heuristically, we take a more systematic, so-called normative approach. In this approach, a biological model is viewed as the solution of an optimization problem. Specifically, we postulate an objective function motivated by a computational principle, derive an online algorithm optimizing such objective, and map the steps of the algorithm onto biological processes.
Having such normative theory allows us to navigate through the space of possible algorithmic models in a more efficient and systematic way. Mathematical compactness of objective functions facilitates generating new models and weeding out inconsistent ones. This is similar to the Hamiltonian approach in physics which leverages natural symmetries and safeguards against the violation of the first law of thermodynamics (energy conservation).
Deriving a Single-neuron Online PCA using the Reconstruction Approach
To build a normative theory, we first need to derive Oja’s single-neuron online algorithm by solving an optimization problem. What objective function should we choose for online PCA? Historically, neural activity has been often viewed as representing each data sample, ${\bf x}_t$, by the feature vector, ${\bf w}$, scaled by the output, $y_t$, Figure 2. Such reconstruction approach is naturally formalized as the minimization of the reconstruction (or coding) error:
In the offline setting, optimization problem (1.3) is solved by PCA: the optimum ${\bf w}$ is the eigenvector of input covariance corresponding to the top eigenvalue and the optimum output, $y$, is the first principal component.
Figure 2. PCA represents data samples (circles) by their projections (red) onto the top eigenvector, ${\bf w}$. These projections constitute the top principal component. Objective (1.3) minimizes the reconstruction error (blue).
In the online setting, (1.3) can be solved by alternating minimization, which has been a subject of recent analysis. After the arrival of each data point, , the algorithm computes optimum output, $y_t$, while keeping the feature vector, ${\bf w}_{t-1}$, computed at the previous time step, fixed. By using calculus, one finds that the optimum output is given by (1.1). Then, the algorithm minimizes the total reconstruction error with respect to the feature vector while keeping all the outputs fixed. Again, resorting to calculus, one finds (1.2).
Thus, the single-neuron online PCA algorithm may be derived using the reconstruction approach. To compute multiple principal components, we need to extend this success to multi-neuron networks.
The Reconstruction Approach Fails for Multi-neuron Networks
Though the reconstruction approach yields a multi-component online PCA algorithm, the corresponding NNs are not biologically plausible.
Extension of the reconstruction error objective from single to multiple output components is straightforward - each scalar, $y_t$, is replaced by a vector, ${\bf y}_t$:
Here matrix ${\bf W}$ comprises column-vectors corresponding to different features. As in the single- neuron case this objective can be optimized online by alternating minimization. After the arrival of data sample, ${\bf x}_t$, the feature vectors are kept fixed while the objective (1.4) is minimized with respect to the principal components by iterating the following update until convergence:
Minimizing the total objective with respect to the feature vectors for fixed principal components yields the following update:
As before, in NN implementations of algorithm (1.5-1.6), feature vectors are represented by synaptic weights and principal components by the activities of output neurons. Then (1.5) can be implemented by a single-layer NN, Figure 3, in which activity dynamics converges faster than the time interval between the arrival of successive data samples.
However, implementing update (1.6) in the single-layer NN architecture, Figure 3, requires nonlocal learning rules making it biologically implausible. Indeed, the last term in (1.6) implies that updating the weight of a synapse requires the knowledge of output activities of all other neurons which are not available to the synapse. Moreover, the matrix of lateral connection weights, $- {\bf W} _{t-1}^\top {\bf W} _{t-1}$, in the last term of (1.5) is computed as a Grammian of feedforward weights, clearly a nonlocal operation. This problem is not limited to PCA and arises in networks of nonlinear neurons as well.
Rather than deriving learning rules from a principled objective, many authors constructed biologically plausible single-layer networks using local learning rules, Hebbian for feedforward and anti-Hebbian (meaning there is a minus sign in front of the correlation-based synaptic weight as for the last term in (1.5)). However, in my view, abandoning the normative approach creates more problems than it solves.
Figure 3. The single-layer NN implementation of the multi-neuron online PCA algorithm derived using the reconstruction approach requires nonlocal learning rules.
I have outlined how the conventional reconstruction approach fails to generate biologically plausible multi-neuron networks for online PCA. In the next post, I will introduce an alternative approach that overcomes this limitation. Moreover, this approach suggests a novel view of neural computation leading to many interesting extensions.

Two teens cited for racing after crash sends four to hospital
by Logan RudeMADISON, Wis. - Two teens were cited for racing after a Friday crash sent four people to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to an incident report.
An 18-year-old said he was cut off by another driver at N. Thompson Drive and Wynbrook Circle. According to the report, the 18-year-old got upset after being cut off, so he decided to accelerate to catch up to the 16-year-old driver. When the 18-year-old accelerated, he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the other car. Police said the other car then crashed into a tree, injuring all four people inside.

Embracing the Ghanian culture
The Akan (/ˈækæn/) are a meta-ethnicity living in the countries of present-day Ghana and Ivory Coast. The Akan language (also known as Twi/Fante) are a group of dialects within the Central Tano branch of the Potou–Tano subfamily of the Niger–Congo family.Subgroups of the Akan people include: the Agona, Akuapem, Akwamu, Akyem, Ashanti, Bono, Fante, Kwahu, Wassa, and Sefwi. Subgroups of the Bia-speaking Akan groups include the Anyin, Baoulé, Chakosi (Anufo), Sefwi (Sehwi), Nzema, Ahanta, and Jwira-Pepesa. The Akan subgroups all have cultural attributes in common; most notably the tracing of matrilineal descent, inheritance of property, and succession to high political office.
In history, the Akans who live in Ghana migrated in successive waves between the 11th and 18th centuries. Others inhabit the eastern part of Ivory Coast and parts of Togo.They migrated from the north to occupy the forest and coastal areas in the south in the 13th century. The Akans have a strong oral history tradition of their past and their also known in the art history world for symbolic artifacts of wood, metal and terracotta. Their cultural ideas are expressed in stories and proverbs and also in designs such as symbols used in carvings and on clothes.The cultural and historic nature of the Akans in Ghana makes it an area of research for various disciplines such as folklore, literary studies, linguistics, anthropology and history.
Akan culture can also be found in the New World.A number of Akans were taken as captives to the Americas. Roughly ten-percent of all slave ships embarked from the Gold Coast. The primary source of wealth within Akan economy was gold. However as wars culminate in the region the capture and sale of Akan people peaked during the Fante and Ashanti conflicts (as both sides sold a large number of their captives) as prisoners of war.
Akan names are derived from Ghanian culture.Frequently in Ghana, children are given their first name as a 'day name' which corresponds to the day in the week they were born. These "day names" have further meanings concerning the soul and character of the person. Middle names have considerably more variety and can refer to their birth order, twin status, or an ancestor's middle name.
