No doubt! Verily, to Allah belongs whosoever is in the heavens and whosoever is in the earth. And those who worship and invoke others besides Allah, in fact they follow not the (Allah's so- called) partners, they follow only a conjecture and they only invent lies. |

Agile software development describes a set of principles for
software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through
the collaborative effort of self-organizing cross-functional teams. Based
off Agile Architecture, it advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary
development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, and it encourages
rapid and flexible response to change.
Agile
Formalized in 2001 in the Agile Manifesto
Agile was already a thing
This was just gathering the ideas of practices that were being very succesful at the time
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
Value the items on the right...
But more the items on the left
Agile Manifesto: 12 Principles
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Agile Manifesto: 12 Principles
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Agile Manifesto: 12 Principles
7.Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development.The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Agile Manifesto: 12 Principles
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
Types of Agile
Kanban
Continual Delivery
No defined time frames
Scrum
Short sprints
XP - Extreme Programming
TPS - Toyota Production System
Just in time prodution
Implementing Agile
We start off herding cats
We become more agile individually
We reach Lean Mean Agile Team
But to get there, we need change
Scrum Structure
Scrum - Sprint
Predefined size sprints
Short, generally 2 weeks to a month
We use 2 weeks
At the end of a sprint, a release is done
Used to do this in JCI
Working on in CPower
Scrum - Stories
Often lots of mystery here, but should not be
Just a description of work
Understandable to all
Sized in a general way
Like big/small/medium
Not a time estimate
Provides a feature which can be implemented
Fits in a sprint
Stories get broken into tasks
Assignable to a team member
Have actual time estimates, ideally not more than 8 hours
Stories have a general description
Including why this is useful
Stories have a very precise set of acceptance criteria
This defines what is required for the story to be considered done
Conversely, implies that if the criteria is met then the story is done
Scrum - Backlog
As stories are generated they are placed in a list
This is the backlog
In priority sequence
Scrum - Velocity
Calculation of how much a team member can do in a sprint
Calculated at beginning of each sprint
Includes allowance for Scrum meetings
Includes special items for the sprint
Vacations
Business training
Anything which means not availble to work on sprint
Group can select tasks for each person until reach velocity limit
Scrum - Burndown
Each task has a running estimate of remaining hours
This remaining time is displayed as a Burndown Chart
Scrum - Burndown
Scrum Roles
Product Owner
Responsible for maximizing the value of the product and the work of the team.
Is a person, not a committee
May represent the direction of a committee
But anyone wanting to change the product backlog must go through prodcut owner
How role is done can vary widely between teams
Product Owner Responsible for...
Clearly expressing backlog items
Ordering backlog items to best acheive goals
Product Owner may do the work directly
Or may have team do it
But remains responsible
Development Team
Group of people who deliver a potentially releasble increment of done work at the end of each sprint
Empowered by the organiztion to manage their own work
The work being to turn product backlog items into the releasable increments
Scrum recognizes no titles other than Developer
Scrum recognizes no sub-teams regardless of specialized domains
Team members may have specialized skills or focus, but accountabililty belongs to the team as a whole
Scrum Master
Provide expertise about Scrum process
Schedules and runs Scrum meetings
Removes obstacles for the team
Actually has huge list of potential responsibilities all
dealing with the goal of helping the Product Manager and
the Development Team use Scrum effectively
Scrum Meetings (Ceremonies)
Scrum Meetings
Most are done each sprint
The ongoing process of "how we work the sprint"
Grooming
Process of refining a story so it is ready to be worked
Is done by the team
Though as we do it can often be done by a subset of the team
It is possible that a story will be groomed multiple times
Process of refinement, getting additional information
Ideally happens 2-4 times during a sprint preparing for future sprint
Though we do once a sprint
Ideally have 2-3 sprints worth of work groomed at any point in time
Not end of the world if not
But both future grooming and planning processes will be much less smooth
Planning
Process of loading a sprint with work
Is done by the team
At this point stories potentially going into the sprint should be fully groomed
Some discussion as to whether tasks are developed here, or before
We found doing tasks in the planning meeting made for painfully long planning meetings
DSU / Daily Standup
A quick team catchup
Every day
Is attended by the entire team
Short! 15 minutes
Everyone gives an update
What I did since that last DSU
What I'm planning to do in the next period
Items where I may need help
Issues/problems that may jeapordize the delivery of the sprint work
The DSU is used to identify and bring up issues
It is not the place to discuss in depth nor solve them
Demo
Just what it sounds like, a demo
At end of sprint
Actually showing the result of work done in sprint
Entire team
Users / stakeholders, though attendance may vary by content
Easy to skip, but important not to
Retro
Entire team
Open discussion of how sprint went, good and bad
Important to encourage and allow discussion
Provides input for continual improvement of the process, tailored to the team.
Testing
Not technically part of scrum
Though is embraced by agile in general
Doing a release every sprint implies doing regression testing every sprint
So any level of automated testing is a plus
But more coverage is better
Agile ala us
As we do it
Use Scrum
Learned under a variant called SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)
Used Scrum as base
But provides additional processes to allow Scrum teams to cooridinate with other scrum teams in larger network
TFS
Use for source control
But also use as our set of Scrum managment tools
Helps with the multiple locations
Makes information and status available to anyone, anytime
Some challenges
Relative newness to scrum
Different experience levels in use of scrum
Above includes both team members and users
Remote - especially as pertains to devs
All or Nothing?
Do all teams have to be agile/scrum?
Would be nice, but not required
Useful to have other teams aware that we use it
And how we use it
Backlog Organization
At this point we were finding some dificulty keeping items from major areas visible
We use three sections in the backlog
Roadmap - For some of the major direction for the compay
Strategic - For the work to kepp the company running
Technical - For the work to keep the infrastucture running and progressing


Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation?
When everyone wasn't looking down at a device in their hands? We've become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture,
the people right in front of us.

--- layout: post title: Moving associated creations to the model post_id: 142 categories: - tips & tricks date: 2007-01-11 14:38:00.000000000 -07:00 author: Jamis permalink: 2007/1/11/moving-associated-creations-to-the-model.html ---
Have you ever done something like this in a controller?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
# The corresponding view looks something like this: # # Name: <input type="text" name="person[name]" />
 # Email: <input type="text" name="email_address[address]" />
 # Phone: <input type="text" name="phone_number[number]" />
 # def create Person.transaction do @person = current_account.people.create(params[:person]) @person.create_email_address params[:email_address] @person.create_phone_number params[:phone_number] end redirect_to person_url(@person) end |
Harkening back to the Skinny Controller, Fat Model idea, I’ve lately been converting the above, into the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
# The corresponding view looks something like this: # # Name: <input type="text" name="person[name]" />
 # Email: <input type="text" name="person[data][email_address][address]" />
 # Phone: <input type="text" name="person[data][phone_number][number]" />
 # def create @person = current_account.people.create(params[:person]) redirect_to person_url(@person) end |
This works by moving all of the creation logic to the models. Consider the Person model for the above:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :email_address has_one :phone_number attr_writer :data after_create :update_data private def update_data return if @data.nil? create_email_address(@data[:email_address]) if @data[:email_address] create_phone_number(@data[:phone_number]) if @data[:phone_number] @data = nil end end |
So, when the params[:person]
hash gets used to create the new Person, the data
subhash, if it exists, gets assigned to the data
writer on the Person model. Then, after the create happens, the update_data
callback is invoked, which examines that @data
variable to see what needs to be done.
It keeps your controllers slim, and puts all the creation logic in one place, so if you ever want to create the email address and phone number from a different action, it’s all ready for you!
With a little more effort, this can work for updates and deletes, too, but I’ll leave that as an exercise for the reader. ;)

Functions for loading large (10M+ lines) CSV and other delimited files, similar to read.csv, but typically faster and using less memory than the standard R loader. While not entirely general, it covers many common use cases when the types of columns in the CSV file are known in advance. In addition, the package provides a class 'int64', which represents 64-bit integers exactly when reading from a file. The latter is useful when working with 64-bit integer identifiers exported from databases. The CSV file loader supports common column types including 'integer', 'double', 'string', and 'int64', leaving further type transformations to the user.

--- layout: post title: A simpler way to view attachments in Confluence date: 2009-10-16 15:37:14.000000000 +01:00 type: post published: true status: publish categories: - Uncategorised tags: - confluence - usability - user macro meta: _syntaxhighlighter_encoded: '1' _topsy_cache_timestamp: '1299685384' _edit_last: '1' tmac_last_id: '618797404075245568' author: David Simpson excerpt_separator: ---
...or how to display attachments in an unordered list.
Something that bugs me in Confluence is the way that attachments are shown. The default view is a big table with just about all the information related to each attachment.
This is great if you want all this detail, but I'm a simple soul with simple needs.
Krug suggested "Omit needless words". In this case, it's more of "Omit needless metadata".
Enter {list-attachments} - a user macro that dispenses with the excess. It displays an unordered list with the filename, file size and last modified date. If there's a comment for the attachment, this is displayed in the link text rather than the filename.
This is a really straightforward view of the attachments on the page.
It's pretty easy. As a Confluence administrator, go to Confluence Admin | User Macros and click on Create a User Macro.
Macro name: list-attachments
Template:
## MACRO: list-attachments
## Updated: 2014-05-12
## View page attachments in a simple list
## USAGE: {list-attachments}
## @noparams
#set ($attachmentsList = $content.getLatestVersionsOfAttachments())
#if ($attachmentsList.size() > 0)

#foreach( $attachment in $attachmentsList )
#set ($currentAttachmentId = $attachment.id)
#if ($attachment.comment && $attachment.comment.trim().length() > 0)
## Display the comment as the link text instead of the filename

$generalUtil.htmlEncode($attachment.comment)

#else
## Display the filename as the link text

$generalUtil.htmlEncode($attachment.fileName)

#end
#end

#end
Accept the defaults for the other fields, then click on Save
To call the macro in the page type: {list-attachments}
The result:
Now you're left with a simple list of links — much purer than a big fat table of metadata.
If you've got a might great slab of files attached to the Confluence page, why not wrap this usermacro in the azList macro:
{azlist}{list-attachments}{azlist}
The result:


{% extends "base.html" %} {% block content_inner %}
Gee, I don't know what to write here.
So you'd better hit that sign-in button already!
But don't forget to read our privacy policy
and terms & conditions before so you can totally
deal with it.


Vuzix Connectivity framework allows iOS apps to share the BLE connnection to communicate with apps that are running on the Vuzix Blade. There is no need to pair the BLE connection, as the framework uses the same BLE connection established and setup in the Vuzix Companion App. There is also no need to define a protocol model as we have already done that. You can send simple messages between Blade and your iPhone app seemlessly. Apps running on the Vuzix Blade will need to utilize the Vuzix Android Connectivity library. Since messages are sent as BLE messages, it is best to send smaller messages as throughput is limited when using BLE.
Requirements
- Blade OS 2.10 or higher
- Latest version of Vuzix Companion app running on iPhone App Store
- App running on Blade must use the Android Connectivity SDK
- Blade and Companion app must be linked.
Installation
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate Vuzix Connectivity into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile
:
pod 'VuzixConnectivity'
Manually
If you prefer to not use Cocoapods, then you can integrate the Vuzix Connectivity framework into your project manually.
Simply download the framework from Vuzix’s github page: and follow the steps below:
- Unzip framework
- Drag the VuzixConnectivity.framework into your project.
- Go to General pane of the application target in your project. Add VuzixConnectivity.framework to the Embedded Binaries section.
- Import VuzixConnectivity in your Swift file and use in your code.
Documentation
Documentation of the API, along with examples can be found at Vuzix’s Developer portal. Also see the docs located at https://vuzix.github.io/VuzixConnectivity/

The book that has influenced me more than any other is Agile Data Science by Russell Jurney. In this he walks through a full set of tools using Python, Pig, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Wonderdog, Flask, and Bootstrap to build a simple system that analyses a gmail inbox and then demonstrates how to exploit this stack to develop a full data product.
After reading through this book I built a data product using similar principles to explore the education landscape. My process began by writing a python script to download every pdf inspection report from the Ofsted website and convert it to text. Reports from 2007 to 2010 required a custom conversion that I wrote using Java for no better reason than I was doing a lot with Python at the time and was getting rusty. Meanwhile I acquired performance and census data on schools from the DFE website. The whole lot was stored in MongoDB. Pig, ElasticSearch, Flask and Bootstrap were employed to pull this lot through to a web browser.


When warp-speed Santa drones are shooting Christmas presents down the air holes of our Disastro-Bunkers in 2089, will there be snow on the ground?
That's a ridiculous question to ask—and now it's been answered by David Taylor, a 44-year-old data scientist and writer in Montreal, who's made an animation of predicted white Christmases for each remaining year of the century.
Taylor is aware that, by its nature, this simulation includes many wild misses. Today, a snowstorm's exact movements are difficult to nail down three days in advance; guessing whether there will be powder in six decades on December 25 is harder than keeping Jim Cantore silent during thundersnow. The humor of this impossible task was part of what made Taylor want to attempt it.
"Basically, I was cruising around the Statistics Canada website looking for interesting data that hadn't already been mined out, and I came across this huge collection of climate models going to the year 2100, containing day-by-day predictions of atmospheric conditions including temperature and precipitation," he emails. "I found that amusing because even the seven-day weather forecasts are so often way off. But of course the accuracy of day-by-day predictions aren't the point of the model, they're just the product of the model."
The model Taylor relied on, the CanRCM4, generated a few interesting trends over the century.  Within this general pattern, though, are what Taylor calls "mini-cycles of a few years of cooling, then a few years of warming." There are also a couple of mystery zones, where snow or barrenness stubbornly reign.
"There are... these persistent spots in and around Utah that are always snow-covered no matter what's going on in the rest of the continent, and there's this spot between Walla Walla and Spokane, Washington, that's always snow-free even though it's surrounded by snow," he says. "I'm just a data analyst and programmer, not a climatologist, but my first guess is that the Rocky Mountains have something to do with the fact that snow cover seems less variable in the West than the East." (It might also relate to how climate change is building a hot/cold divide between America's coasts.)
So why did Taylor pick this treasured event for scrutiny? Is his first holiday memory waking up to ivory drifts pressing against the window, signaling school cancellations stretching as far as the mind's eye could see?
Not really. "Well, the data is arranged day by day, so Christmas seemed the natural choice," he says. As for his own weather experiences, he's only seen one white Christmas in his life, way back in 1997.
"It's ironic because most of the rest of Canada had snow on the ground, but Edmonton, which is the large city the furthest north, was experiencing a Chinook (warm air from the Rockies) and didn't," he says. "In Edmonton, there's usually snow on the ground to stay by Halloween."


Elder Spiron:
Well done! As promised, I will reward you based on the number and type of necklaces you have brought after killing the goblins. Have you found the rest of the Suspicious Memos?
Please help me out once more, my friend! You know that you are the only one I can trust. I must find the rest of the memos and find out who is trying to destroy our Guild!
Say you will quit
Say you will continue

Hi again,
this is surely my last question for today:
There is something I dont understand about using the minimodel -- I
can see that it provides a more functional approach, creating
variables on the fly in nested expressions.
But it does not seem to be necessary to attach those variables to the
Store... Dont they need to be copied?
Cheers,
Kilian
PS: I am planning to develop a LISP wrapper sometime later this year
-- I wonder, if there are people who would be interested in that.
(Hope to release it on http://common-lisp.net/ , so watch out... :)

Connection Pooling¶
The MongoDB C driver has two connection modes: single-threaded and pooled. Single-threaded mode is optimized for embedding the driver within languages like PHP. Multi-threaded programs should use pooled mode: this mode minimizes the total connection count, and in pooled mode background threads monitor the MongoDB server topology, so the program need not block to scan it.
Single Mode¶
In single mode, your program creates a mongoc_client_t directly:
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_new (
"mongodb://hostA,hostB/?replicaSet=my_rs");
The client connects on demand when your program first uses it for a MongoDB operation. Using a non-blocking socket per server, it begins a check on each server concurrently, and uses the asynchronous poll
or select
function to receive events from the sockets, until all have responded or timed out. Put another way, in single-threaded mode the C Driver fans out to begin all checks concurrently, then fans in once all checks have completed or timed out. Once the scan completes, the client executes your program’s operation and returns.
In single mode, the client re-scans the server topology roughly once per minute. If more than a minute has elapsed since the previous scan, the next operation on the client will block while the client completes its scan. This interval is configurable with heartbeatFrequencyMS
in the connection string. (See mongoc_uri_t.)
A single client opens one connection per server in your topology: these connections are used both for scanning the topology and performing normal operations.
Pooled Mode¶
To activate pooled mode, create a mongoc_client_pool_t:
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new (
"mongodb://hostA,hostB/?replicaSet=my_rs");
mongoc_client_pool_t *pool = mongoc_client_pool_new (uri);
When your program first calls mongoc_client_pool_pop(), the pool launches monitoring threads in the background. Monitoring threads independently connect to all servers in the connection string. As monitoring threads receive hello responses from the servers, they update the shared view of the server topology. Additional monitoring threads and connections are created as new servers are discovered. Monitoring threads are terminated when servers are removed from the shared view of the server topology.
Each thread that executes MongoDB operations must check out a client from the pool:
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_pool_pop (pool);
/* use the client for operations ... */
mongoc_client_pool_push (pool, client);
The mongoc_client_t object is not thread-safe, only the mongoc_client_pool_t is.
When the driver is in pooled mode, your program’s operations are unblocked as soon as monitoring discovers a usable server. For example, if a thread in your program is waiting to execute an “insert” on the primary, it is unblocked as soon as the primary is discovered, rather than waiting for all secondaries to be checked as well.
The pool opens one connection per server for monitoring, and each client opens its own connection to each server it uses for application operations. Background monitoring threads re-scan servers independently roughly every 10 seconds. This interval is configurable with heartbeatFrequencyMS
in the connection string. (See mongoc_uri_t.)
The connection string can also specify waitQueueTimeoutMS
to limit the time that mongoc_client_pool_pop() will wait for a client from the pool. (See mongoc_uri_t.) If waitQueueTimeoutMS
is specified, then it is necessary to confirm that a client was actually returned:
mongoc_uri_t *uri = mongoc_uri_new (
"mongodb://hostA,hostB/?replicaSet=my_rs&waitQueueTimeoutMS=1000");
mongoc_client_pool_t *pool = mongoc_client_pool_new (uri);
mongoc_client_t *client = mongoc_client_pool_pop (pool);
if (client) {
/* use the client for operations ... */
mongoc_client_pool_push (pool, client);
} else {
/* take appropriate action for a timeout */
}
See Connection Pool Options to configure pool size and behavior, and see mongoc_client_pool_t for an extended example of a multi-threaded program that uses the driver in pooled mode.

Abstract: In this paper we present a framework for using multi-layer perceptron (MLP) networks in nonlinear generative models trained by variational Bayesian learning. The nonlinearity is handled by linearizing it using a Gauss–Hermite quadrature at the hidden neurons. This yields an accurate approximation for cases of large posterior variance. The method can be used to derive nonlinear counterparts for linear algorithms such as factor analysis, independent component/factor analysis and state-space models. This is demonstrated with a nonlinear factor analysis experiment in which even 20 sources can be estimated from a real world speech data set. 1

This is my first crack at blogging, I believe it is a great medium to keep all of my doings in one concise place!
I had some help developing:
- I wanted to see how Googles new Domains service worked, so I picked up a new one and ported over my old GitHub Pages site.
- Becuase I had this shiny new domain, I figured it was time to step into the modern world.
- I knew I wanted to use Jekyll for a solid, easy to manage/view base.
- I then moved to making a theme…
- after I messed around with that for a week or so, I found HPSTR (linked below)
- HPSTR had everything that I was struggeling to add to my theme
- It is easy to manage, and everything is there.
- The owner also has a few other Jekyll Themes
- I got everything just how I wanted in under a week, all said and done.
- And best yet…it supports both legacy browsers and all modern browsers!!

Leave Without Pay (LWOP) is an unpaid temporary absence from work.
For example, if you are a casual and do not report to work in case of sickness, the days you did not report to work will be recovered from your pay. The recovery of Leave Without Pay will appear in the Entitlements and Deductions section of your CWA Pay Stub.
If a period of Leave Without Pay (LWOP) of 5 consecutive days or less has been approved in Phoenix, it will appear twice in the Entitlements and Deductions Section:
The CWA Pay Stub will confirm:
The same process would apply to the recovery of statutory holidays for part-time employees. See more details below.
| Type | No. | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| From 15/11/18 To 28/11/18 *Basic Pay |

GenInteraction is a high-level object which manages groups of other generic objects. These groups of objects can appear as part of a window, as their own menu or even as a separate dialog box.
GenInteractionClass
also provides the means to interpret actions of its children and adjust the behavior of the Interaction accordingly. Therefore, it is meaningless for an Interaction to appear without children to manage.
GenInteractionClass
is a subclass of

If you are getting enjoyment from playing Sudoku by MyDocz on the web or as an app on your phone - that's great.
However, Sudoku by MyDocz was created to showcase some of the technical capabilities MyDocz offers to prospective clients or employers.
It has purposefully been created using a broad mixture of tech, for example Json and XML, Java and c# etc, when less mixture would have been more practical.
Practicality though was not the objective, and we hope to show how we can incorporate and use these different technologies well.

Growing up in a small town of 3,000, it would have been more likely that Brock would have had a knack for metal working or farming. Something about the small town life sparked an artistic flame in his life.
Brock decided to pursue Visual and Creative Arts at Sheridan College. Although he enjoyed design elements he wanted to gain a better understanding of the technical side of websites and flash application. So he enrolled in Interactive Multimedia at Sheridan College
Now he not only enjoys designing print applications and websites, but coding and programming them too. Fluent in client side languages, Brock strives to create new and dynamic websites and applications to advance Canadian Interactive Multimedia culture.


So I’m a guy with a TON of ideas
It’s kind of a burden actually. I have all these great ideas and no means of executing on them all. And definitely no time to complete all of them. So $#@! it, I’ll just give them away. They’re just pipe dreams anyway.
I just finished watching the first week of Coursera’s Epigenetics course from the University of Melbourne. I just took the first quiz and got a 90, although it was multiple choice. It’s too bad that I was two weeks late and won’t receive credit.
Here’s my ideas, posed as questions.
I’m sure these questions have been asked before and that someone has proposed similar methods as well for finding the answers.
- What chemicals can invade a cell’s nucleus?
- What are the differences in DNA methylation between various types of human cells? At various points in their development?
I believe these are two questions which can be answered without the need for significant advances in computing power.
One of my passions is Bioinformatics
Maybe you’ve heard of it. I’m surprised we haven’t focused more research onto Bioinformatics. Unfortunately, we just don’t have the computational power to make the big breakthroughs just yet, but it’s coming.
I once read that we need 100 petaflops to simulate all the molecules within a single cell in real-time. For reference, the current fastest is Tianhe-2, a Chinese supercomputer capable of 33-54 petaflops. In very recent news, China may be planning to turn Tianhe-2 into a 100 petaflop system. We should break the exaflop barrier around 2017.
My point is that big things are coming soon. Once we break the exaflop barrier, we can simulate groups of cells and extracellular communication. We could even simulate cellular neural networks.
Bioinformatic Discoveries
There are tons of discoveries that await us with bioinformatics. It’s important to note that these discoveries will be made using computer models that will never be completely accurate. They must always be verified with studies. That said, they will give us important leads which will allow us to more wisely invest our resources for research.
What kind of questions will bioinformatics answer?
- How do the mutations in genes shared between species account for the differences in their functions?
- What are the long-term effects of prescription medication?
- What action does a chemical have on cellular processes?
- How does a mutation in a particular region effect the action of proteins?
- Does a prescription medication actually work as intended?
- How does a prescription medication cause its side effects?
- How well does a prescription medication perform against genetic variations of a protein?
- What molecules affect the active site for a protein?
- What molecules affect modulate the action of a protein?
- What functional regions of proteins are shared between genes? Are there genes with undiscovered functions which share similar regions?
Anyway, back to my proposed projects
What chemicals can invade a cell’s nucleus?
Formaldehyde is one such chemical. It’s found in cigarette smoke and when it invades a cell’s nucleus, it bends and breaks the DNA. Additionally, many chemicals eventually degrade into chemicals including formaldehyde, such as aspartame.
- What other chemicals are nuclear permeable?
- What chemicals degrade into byproducts which are nuclear permeable?
- Which nuclear permeable chemicals have effects on DNA?
Why answer this question?
I recently learned from the Epigenetics course that ALL forms of cancer that have been studied have shown aberrations in DNA methylization. Yes - all forms of cancer. Changes in DNA methylization can cause changes in genetic transcription, replication and expression.
In order to directly affect DNA methylization, a chemical would need to cross a cell’s nucleus. So, determine those chemicals - prevent cancer. However, I can also imagine chemicals which indirectly affect methylization by interfering with a cell’s own processes, but those chemicals and pathways would be much more difficult to determine.
How to answer this question?
I’m starting to get into subjects I don’t know as well as I’d like to. However, I feel like I understand enough about this to know where to start looking.
Chemical properties determining nuclear permeability should be well known. Computer simulations of chemical properties can determine the likelihood of an agent crossing the nucleus, but these simulations should not require astronimic amounts of computation.
Similarity between chemicals would be useful as well, but I’m guessing that similarity based on electrochemical properties would be very difficult to work into an algorithm.
Additionally, information about chemical degradation pathways should be considered. Many molecules are not dangerous themselves, but naturally break down into others that are. Some molecules can be altered by the body’s own enzymes.
Many of the chemical properties in question may be obtained from databases online. These databases could be used to source a list of chemicals. Chemicals that are most important to understand are those present in the food supply and in household products.
What are the differences in DNA methylation between various types
of human cells?
Some quick googling shows that the technology is available to sequence DNA including methylation.
Why answer this question?
Combining existing genome data and our current understanding of each gene’s function with methylation data will certainly allow us to deduce further knowledge about how life works.
We’ll be able to see which genes are only active in certain cell types, those active in all cell types and those that are deactivated. Additionally, we can deduce further information by examining the genes that are active from the beginning and those that are activated during different stages of life.
If these techniques haven’t already been thoroughly explored, they will prove extremely useful in determining the functions of genes. And more important, these techniques will allow us to zoom out a bit to understand which genes are related and perhaps why.
How to answer this question?
I’m getting tired now. Maybe I’ll finish this later.

Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
When two films as thematically similar as TREES LOUNGE and PALOOKAVILLE appear virtually on top of one another, you have to take a look around at the society which inspired them. Americans have always rooted for underdogs, but usually they like their underdogs to come out on top. What do we make of a pair of movies, both set in the Tri-State area, which turn mere economic survival as an act of heroism? TREES LOUNGE and PALOOKAVILLE may be responses to an urban America where desperation is de rigeur, but both films struggle to make black comedy out of bleak tragedy, largely because they take our sympathies for granted.
TREES LOUNGE, which marks the writing and directing debut of Steve Buscemi, finds the erstwhile supporting actor playing the lead role of Tommy Basilio, a man who has lost his job as a mechanic, his long-time girlfriend Theresa (Elizabeth Bracco) and his way in the world. Unemployed and unmotivated, Tommy spends his days and nights drowning his sorrows at the Trees Lounge, a run-down watering hole where the other regulars are almost as bad off as he is. Among them is Mike (Mark Boone Junior), who escapes from his apparently successful business and family at the Trees, and Bill (Bronson Dudley), a lost soul who keeps his cash on the bar to keep the drinks coming. When Tommy finally gets a job opportunity driving the ice cream truck left behind by his deceased uncle, he is distracted by Debbie (KIDS' Chloe Sevigny), Theresa's 17-year-old niece who is looking for an escape of her own.
There is a detached verisimilitude to the people and situations in TREES LOUNGE -- the indulgent bartender (Carol Kane); the barroom conversations where strangers become best friends or lovers in the space of a few hours -- which keeps it just interesting enough to earn the benefit of the doubt for a while. Buscemi gives his characters full histories, and peppers the film with quirky moments like the repeatedly thwarted efforts of one young boy to buy ice cream, yet the payoffs are rather unsatisfying. TREES LOUNGE cruises along, building up atmosphere like a film in search of a Tom Waits soundtrack, but when it is all said and done you might wonder what Buscemi wanted us to make of his cast of not-so-beautiful losers. Although he manages to get you interested in what _might_ happen to them, he is not as successful at getting you to care about what _does_ happen to them.
That's more than you can say about the palookas in PALOOKAVILLE. The story involves three best friends -- Russ (Vincent Gallo), Sid (William Forsythe) and Jerry (Adam Trese) -- all of whom are facing tough economic times.  Together they decide that all they need to get back on their feet is a "momentary shift in lifestyle"...more specifically, one big robbery. While they plan for that big score, they struggle with relationships and with half-hearted attempts to make legitimate money.
PALOOKAVILLE was inspired by a collection of short stories (by Italian writer Italo Calvino), and it feels every bit of it. Director Alan Taylor flits back and forth between episodes like Sid's budding romance with a clerk at a used furs store (Bridgit Ryan) and the friends' failed effort at starting a shuttle service for elderly shoppers, but he never manages to unify them. There is a real lack of narrative momentum in PALOOKAVILLE, as stories bob and weave around the characters, giving them just enough personality (Jerry's sweet tooth, Sid's soft spot for dogs) to make it evident that they needed more. Kim Dickens has a few nice moments as Russ's young girlfriend, but our three protagonists are never quite as sympathetic as they are pathetic.
I suppose that is what makes PALOOKAVILLE even more disappointing than TREES LOUNGE: writer David Epstein seems to assume that we will feel for his characters simply because they are in financial trouble. There are moments in PALOOKAVILLE when its serious turns make it clear that there is a Statement About Desperate Times lurking beneath the attempts at gallows humor, yet there is little effort to show that the predicaments of Jerry, Sid and Russ are beyond their control. In TREES LOUNGE, Tommy at least comes to an understanding that he is partly responsible for his own troubles, and that his preferred cure for those troubles may be even worse; as sluggish as it may be, it does take Tommy on a journey of growth. PALOOKAVILLE makes the mistake of asking us to identify with three men who don't even seem to be trying, who surrender at any sign of difficulty. Yes, it's rough out there, as both TREES LOUNGE and PALOOKAVILLE do an adequate job of presenting, but most of us already know that. Social consciousness still requires a story, and characters with a motivation to make themselves -- and not just their bank accounts -- better.
TREES LOUNGE: 6. PALOOKAVILLE: 3.

We are a two team crew who mostly work on projects involving robotics and electronics. Our first robot was called MOSS, hence the name MOSS robotics.
-----------------------------------------------
THE ORIGINAL ROBOT
The original robot is completely 3d printed using
an Ultimaker original printer. An arduino controls
the kinematics and basic functionality of the robot
and a raspberry pi 3 runs a simple web interface.
An artificial muscle design is implemented to mimic
the way in which humans walk.
Video: https://youtu.be/K94D-TpBQpI
-----------------------------------------------
NEW ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES
We are also looking into new designs for the artificial muscle part of the robot. Flexible parts are necessary to package them into a single product. Possible pathways would be linear motors(induction and piezo) or smaller pulleys.

What Lies Beneath
rated PG-13 125 minutes Dreamworks SKG starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford written by Clark Gregg directed by Robert Zemeckis
A Review by Frankie Paiva
What Lies Beneath tries to be two different movies. At times it is a taut adult thriller with plenty of jolts, sure to make many people jump in their seats. Other moments are standard horror flick material filled with fake shocks and predictable conclusions. When the movie starts getting easy to foresee, it is still thrilling. This is the type of movie where one event impacts the next one. Seemingly trivial lines and occurrences influence most of the characters' actions. Only the attentive viewer will get rewarded. The prizes here are many, and worth waiting for.
Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer) lives in a beautiful New England home with her husband Norman (Harrison Ford). Their only daughter just went away to college, so they are enjoying some peace, quiet, and more time with each other. One day when Claire is working in her garden, she hears her new next door neighbor in hysterics. Becoming increasingly paranoid, Claire begins spying on the couple and their home. The husband is more than a little frightening, and Claire thinks she saw him put his wifeâ^À^Ùs body in the back of a car trunk. Shortly after, Claire receives her first visit from the spirit. Someone or something not of this world is trying to contact her. Getting increasingly distant from her husband, she begins searching for an answer to the ghost and what he or she wants. Piece by piece, the clues come together to form a horrifying conclusion.
To those who have not seen this movie, it sounds very similar to M. Night Shyamalanâ^À^Ùs The Sixth Sense. It is not. What Lies Beneath has more similarities with Stir of Echoes, the Kevin Bacon thriller released last September. The plotline is strikingly similar, and both movies clean up and answer all questions quite nicely. In addition, there is the obvious Rear Window element that works for the film. The unneeded fake frights, like a scratching noise that reveals itself to be only a dog, and people that bump into each other in badly lit rooms, come straight from Halloween: H20. These hurt the film somewhat.
There is a suspenseful music overkill. The score tries to be haunting, but works only when accentuating the thrills onscreen. Whenever the audience should shriek, a loud twang almost instructs them to do so. I would have screamed without the music. There hasnâ^À^Ùt been any movie so far this year thatâ^À^Ùs this exciting or scary. 1998â^À^Ùs A Perfect Murder with Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow comes to mind as the last grown-up thriller this good. While the film runs a bit long, and frequently confuses being slow with being mysterious, itâ^À^Ùs still a good time. Michelle Pfeiffer reminds us why she is a star. Her performance is excellent. Harrison Ford is particularly good as well, especially since he hasnâ^À^Ùt gotten any good roles lately.
Director Robert Zemeckis has been very secretive about this movie. No one can interview him, and he refuses to give away anything about the plot. He has a great reason for this. The trailer for this film shows way too much of the mystery that unfolds, and really spoils the fun. Anyone who hasnâ^À^Ùt seen the trailer should turn off any TV ads or close your eyes and ears during the preview at the movies. The experience will be more enjoyable. Zemeckis also comes up with some very inventive camera angles. Instead of just focusing on a characterâ^À^Ùs face, he looks at their shoulders, stomach, and toes. This isnâ^À^Ùt just a thriller either. Some great lines get sandwiched in between the screams.
A thriller that really thrills with its comedy and story, but never its creativity. Excellent performances make What Lies Beneath above average. This is an ideal adult escape during this action film filled summer.

--- layout: post title: "Pie" date: 2019-12-18 15:15:00 +0000 tags: pie image: imagecredits: ---
I never really liked pie, mostly because I think the British hide horrible things in theirs, pretending like a nice flaky crust makes up for the fact that the filling is death. e.g. steak-and-kidney, mincemeat. How can you trust a pie? Answer: you can't unless, you make it yourself.
I wrote my Master's Thesis, in part, on pies. They make a great projectile. That does not change that they are a questionable foodstuff.
I've started baking pies lately -- mostly meat pies now that I can control what goes in. (No suet. No organs.) The key, in part, is that I've finally mastered making a good crust, although my crimping could use more work.
I've made a ground beef pie with a cheddar cheese crust. I've made chicken pot pie twice. I tried to make a curry chicken pie, but I didn't like the flavor of the curry much.
I made an apple pie too, despite always being in the camp that cake is better. The family is thrilled with this new obsession, not understanding why I've always loathed pies. Clearly they've never been served what my brother and I would call "pee pie."

Crosswalk Project App Tools Alpha release
We are happy to announce the alpha version for Crosswalk-app-tools. This is a preview milestone of our forthcoming Node.js based tools for Android app development. Deployment in a production environment is not encouraged at this time.
Crosswalk-app-tools is licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0, please refer to the file LICENSE-APACHE-V2 included in the package.
Installation
Crosswalk-app-tools is cross-platform by virtue of being based on Node.js. However at this point most testing is done on Linux, so we expect the least number of hiccups there. In any case we have seen reports of successful runs on Apple OS X, and are looking forward to hearing about adventurous individuals giving it a spin on Microsoft Windows as well. (But be warned that there are known problems with proxy support on Windows, for starters)
The following components are required
- Android SDK with 5.0 (target-21) installed
- Java JDK and Apache Ant
- Node.js and NPM
The best way to check if a machine has all the required dependencies is to create and build a plain empty Android app on the system. If this does not work, then building Crosswalk apps will not succeed either.
android create project -a MainActivity -k com.example.foo -p com.example.foo -t android-21
cd com.example.foo
ant debug
In order to get the crosswalk-app
script available everywhere, global npm installation is required. On most Linux distributions this can be achieved by using sudo
.
sudo npm install -g crosswalk-app-tools
Usage
Crosswalk Application Project and Packaging Tool
crosswalk-app create <package-id> Create project <package-id>
crosswalk-app build [release|debug] Build project to create packages
Defaults to debug when not given
crosswalk-app update <channel>|<version> Update Crosswalk to latest in named
channel, or specific version
crosswalk-app help Display usage information
crosswalk-app version Display version information
Options for platform 'android'
For command 'create'
--android-crosswalk Channel name (stable/beta/canary)
or version number (w.x.y.z)
Environment Variables
CROSSWALK_APP_TOOLS_CACHE_DIR Keep downloaded files in this dir
Example: Create App
crosswalk-app create com.example.foo
This sets up a skeleton project in directory com.example.foo/, downloads and imports Crosswalk, and puts a sample "hello world" web app under com.example.foo/app/.
Example: Build App
cd com.example.foo
crosswalk-app build
Builds packages. The APKs can be found under pkg/ when done.
For more details, see the project's README file.
Highlights
Straightforward creation and building of app packages (APKs) for Android. Crosswalk is downloaded and integrated into the build process without user intervention.
Distributed via the Node Package Manager, with the Android SDK and Ant as only requirements, relying only on standard web app and Android development tools.
Extensible architecture allows for adding operating system support and package formats over time.
Limitations
- Tested and known to work on Linux. Support for additional host operating systems coming soon (has been found to work on OS X, although there is no official support yet).
Upcoming features
- Support for W3C manifest.
- Support building release packages that can be round-trip tested via the Google Play Store.
Issue tracking
Bugs are tracked and fixed as quickly as possible. Please enter those you find. Crosswalk JIRA can be found at https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/ ("App Tools" component)
Get more hybrid app secrets
Build powerful hybrid apps for Android or Cordova / PhoneGap more reliably with tips from the Intel Crosswalk team.

This is not an Experience, but I could not find anywhere suitable to share this information. I have read the article about rolling blunts, and thought that much more information was needed on the subject.
First thing's first, as you may or may not know, there are many types of cigars that can be used for rolling blunts. Not just the Phillies Blunt. I'll divide these into 2 basic catagories.
The first category is the 'Phillies' type of cigar, these are usually labeled as 'Blunts' on the box, but not always. These include Phillies Blunts, Phillies Titans, White Owls, Tampa Gold, Swisher Blunts and similar cigars.
The other basic category I'll call the 'Dutch Master' Category. This is my preferred type of cigar, because it's neater, doesn't fall apart as easily and burns nearly twice as long as a Phillies. The most popular cigar in this category is the Dutch Master Corona Deluxe. Others are the Garcia y Vega English Corona and the Dutch Master Corona Maduro, and any cigar labeled 'Corona' anything on the box.
Now to break it down. The difference in these categories is the way these cigars are rolled at the factory. The 'Phillies' category consists of a very thick inner leaf with a very thin outer leaf. These blunts are rolled in the standard fashion, like a joint. The 'Dutch Master' category of cigars is made of a thinner inner leaf which is spirally wrapped with a tobbacco leaf on the outside.
These two types of cigars must be rolled differently to produce satisfactory results.
 With some types of cigars you really have to make love to them with your tongue. Others require less saliva to get the job done. Experiment with different types to find your personal favorite.
Next bite the 'ass' off the cigar. Just bite about an inch off the rounded end of the cigar. Throw this away, you don't need it.
This step is where the two categories of cigars really differ. If you've identified your cigar as a Phillies type, this step is pretty simple.
Starting at the end you've just bitten off, hold the cigar between your fingers vertically(standing up) with the other end pointing at the floor. Spread your thumbs apart so you tear the leaf of the blunt in an even fashion. This is called 'cracking' the blunt. Continue until the cigar has an even tear the whole length of it. Now throw the inside tobacco or 'guts' away. Take the remaining leaf, this is what you'll use to roll the blunt.
If you've identified your cigar as a Dutch Master type, this will be a little trickier. Start the same way, by licking the cigar.  With this type of cigar, DO NOT crack it like a Phillies type.
Look very closely at the outside leaf, and you'll notice a spiral line going around the cigar. This is your outside leaf. Find the end of the spiral line at the end of the blunt you bit off. Pick at the end untill you loosen the outside leaf. It comes off in a spiral. Pull it off. Save the outside leaf and the remaining part of the cigar.
Ok, now crack the inside leaf just like a Phillies, and dump the guts.
Take the outer leaf and lick one side until it's wet. Set it aside.  This moistens it enough to start rolling.
Now no matter which type of cigar you have this step will be the same.  Fold the side closest to you over the weed and hold it with your index fingers. Lick the remaining side well and fold it over the other side. Now lick your lips and and use them to help fold while holding the ends with your fingers. An additional lick is sometimes needed to secure the leaf. If you're rolling a Phillies you're done.
If you're rolling a Dutch Master, you're about halfway done. Now take the outer leaf and and lay it on a table, or other flat surface, or your knee if you don't have anything else. Make sure the wet side is facing up. Now take the inner leaf with the weed rolled inside and put one end on the end of the outer leaf perpendicularly(crossewise). Take both leaves and roll the outer leaf spirally around the inner leaf just like it was originally rolled on the cigar. When you get to the end just twist it and bite the excess off. Now you're done.
To improve the flavor and smokability of the blunt, you might want to take a lighter and 'toast' the blunt. This is drying the outside of the blunt with the flame. Be careful not to burn or cook the blunt.
All this may seem kind of clumsy, but with practice, you'll be rolling like a Dutch Masta in no time. You'll also find that a blunt is a great way to smoke, no pipes or anything to carry, no pack of papers, they hold almost a 1/4 oz., and it burns forever. I've rolled blunts that lasted an hour. Experiment with different amounts of saliva and different tightnesses of the blunt until you find what works best for you.
Now put one end in your mouth and light the other end. Inhale until blazed.

title: Verson 2 of P. falciparum IT is now available on GeneDB!
category: [PlasmoDB]
---
A new assembly of the P. falciparum IT genome is now available,
replacing the version 1 sequence that has been available via PlasmoDB
(since release 8.0) and the Sanger FTP site. The version 1 sequence was
produced by "correcting" (or morphing) the reference 3D7 sequence,
using aligned Illumina reads from IT. However, in version
2, the sequence data have been assembled de novo. A key aim for this
genome project is to fully assemble the subtelomeric regions. Although
we were able to correctly assemble some subtelomeric sequences onto the
“core” of the genome (i.e. the interstitial or housekeeping region),
many subtelomeric sequences remain problematic and are being actively
refined. The annotation is automated and no manual curation has taken
place.
The new version contains new systematic identifiers compliant with
those now in use for 3D7. However, old identifiers remain in the
database as fully searchable synonyms. The new version can be
viewed and searched on GeneDB and will be loaded into PlasmoDB in early
2012. EMBL and GFF format files can be downloaded from the
following FTP site:
ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/Plasmodium/falciparum/IT_strain/version_2

JavaScript: Neural Network: Back-Propagation
The sigmoid eqaution is usually used as a transfer/activation function between neurons
Sigmoid fn : x = 1/(1+e^-x)
// e = Euler's number
//in javascript Math.E is euler's number
// e = Math.E
Derivation of sigmoid fn
d/dx θ (x) = d/dx(1/(1+e^-x))
Using quotient rule
= (e^x)/(1+e^-x)^2
next add and subtract one to group numerator and denominator nicely
= ((1+ e^-x)-1)/(1+e^-x)^2
Now we can split it into two different fractions
the first fraction is nice because the top and bottom will cancel
= ((1+ e ^-x)/(1+ e^-x)) - (1/ (1+e^-x)^2)
the first term will cancel out and be sigma(θ) and the second will be sigma(θ) x^2
= θ(x) - θ(x)^2
now we can factor and get sigma prime
= θ(1- θ)
-----given a single input neuron----
ε =input to neuron, w= weight of connection, sigma = transfer fn, o = output, theta = bias node
Bias node is added to the product of the weight and the input
// w
//ε -----> θ -----> o
// bias node = theta
//Here is the equation that defines the output of the neuron
//o = θ(εw + theta)
//There can be mulitple input unodes, hidden nodes, and outputs. Together they make up layers.
// I : Input Layer, J: Hidden Layer, K: Output Layer
