MATH
Making Math Accessible
About The Approach
I was at an event today (April 3, 2019) in which I was fortunate enough to sit next to a blind individual. We had a good long talk about Math and accessibility. We both grieved over the fact that he was not able to pursue higher mathematics, because of the accessibility problem.
By way of background, I had been finding that I could tag math, but screen-readers would not necessarily read the math true to the way the jargon was spoken in the field. This made the math accessible nonsense. I had come to find that simply ensuring that a file was tagged properly and the mathematical order of operations was correct was not enough. Sometimes -- actually, often -- the screen reader would not pronounce the mathematical terms correctly.
When I proposed the "alt-text paragraph" idea to him he smiled and said that would work! Bottom line, if someone had done that for him -- even though it was a workaround -- he would have been able to pursue higher mathematics.
That said, he also said that he preferred to "see" the math rather than hear it. (Stunned silence from me -- and then, the light bulb went off -- braille). I asked, when he meant to "see" the math, did he mean braille? He said yes. Braille - but -- in a way to see the "whole" equation at once, like sighted people do.
Being able to "visualize" the "whole" equation is important, and even to blind people..
Pair Math To The Technology That Can Read It
Software that writes math is usually very tightly bound to specific assitive technology, specific browswers, and specific add-ons. Accessibility in this case means a suite of software and hardware designed to work together; one component without the other will not be sufficient. Be sure to give your students a heads-up in their syllabus ahead of time so that they may prepare.
Example One
Below is an example of Narrator being used to read mathematical equations out loud on a Windows machine.
Example Two
Below is an example of NVDA being used to read the exact same mathematical equations out loud.
Accessible Math Means Ensuring Assistive Technology Has The Right Plugins and Settings.
To the left is an example of MathPlayer being used to read mathematical equations out loud. MathPlayer will work with the equations created by MathType, but not with Word's equation editor.
There is no one combination that can do it all. The idea is to find "pairs" of software that work together, and that you are comfortable working with. There's actually many options.
If you're teaching, it might be a good idea to actually list out the software and hardware combinations used to enable Math to be read online in your courses. Make a point to add version numbers of the software and hardware you use in the course.

Should you buy Fortescue shares in 2020?
by Kenneth HallFortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) shares have been rocketing higher in 2019.
The company’s shares are up 134.46% so far this year on the back of strong commodity prices and earnings.
But is there still time to buy or should you look elsewhere for value on the ASX in 2020?
Why Fortescue shares are surging higher in 2019
Despite the strong capital gains this year, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Fortescue shareholders.
The company’s shares have been under pressure in periods of 2019 largely due to fluctuating gold prices and the US–China trade war.
Despite these challenges, Fortescue shares have more than doubled on the back of earnings outperformance in FY 2019.
Fortescue’s revenues rocketed 45% to US$9.96 billion while underlying EBITDA surged 90% to US$6 billion.
The real kicker? Fortescue’s net profit after tax (NPAT) rocketed an astonishing 263% to US$3.19 billion.
Should you buy in 2020?
There’s no doubt Fortescue has been a top performer on the ASX 200 in 2019. But past performance doesn’t indicate future success and here’s where I would be wary.
Fortescue shares are currently trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 6.41x earnings, which makes it one of the better value ASX mining stocks on the market.
For comparison, BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP) and Rio Tinto Limited (ASX: RIO) shares trade at 15.3x and 8.1x, respectively.
Despite Fortescue’s strong capital gains in 2019, I think the exposure to commodity prices makes the stock a risky one in 2020.
However, if you’re looking for commodities exposure in your portfolio then Fortescue shares could be a great option.
What are some ASX alternatives?
I personally like some of the countercyclical stocks on the market right now which could be better value than Fortescue shares.
I’d be keeping an eye on CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) and Origin Energy Ltd (ASX: ORG) ahead of the February results season.
These stocks could provide strong dividends and robust earnings in the face of a changing business cycle in 2020.


DEAD HEART A film review by David Sidwell Copyright 1996 David Sidwell
Writer & Director: Nick Parsons Cast: Bryan Brown, Ernie Dingo, Angie Milliken, Aaron Pedersen Rated: MA Australia 1996
Rating: 5 out of 5
This has been an extraordinary year for Australian films. "Shine" has just scooped the pool at the Australian Film Institute awards, picking up Best Film, Best Actor, Best Director etc. To that we can add the gritty "Life" (the anguish, courage and friendship of a group of male prisoners in the HIV-positive section of a jail) and "Love and Other Catastrophes" (a low budget gem about straight and gay love on and near a university campus).
I can't recall a year in which such a rich and varied celluloid library was unleashed from Australia. "Shine" was one bookend. Stand by for the other one: "Dead Heart".
>From the opening credits the theme of division is established. The cast credits have clear and distinct lines separating their first and last names. Bryan | Brown.
In a desert settlement, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest town, there is an uneasy calm between the local Aboriginals and the handful of white settlers who live nearby. The local police officer has the task of enforcing "white man's justice" to the Aboriginals. These are people with a proud 40,000 year heritage behind them. Naturally, this includes their own system of justice; key to which is "payback". An eye for an eye. Revenge. Usually extracted by the spearing through of the recipient's thigh.
Brown, as the officer, manages quite well to keep the balance. He admits that he has to 'bend the rules' a bit, including actively encouraging at least one brutal "payback". (Be warned that this scene, near the start, is not for the squeamish).
The local priest - an Aboriginal, but in the "white fellas" church - has a foot on either side of the line. He is, figuratively and literally, in both camps. Ernie Dingo brings a great deal of understanding to this role as the man in the middle. He is part churchman and part politician.
However the tension, like the heat, flies and dust, is always there.  He takes her to a sacred site, even today strictly men-only. She appears to not know this. Tony tells her that this is a special place, an initiation place. He then makes love to her, surrounded by ancient rock art.
The community finds out about this sacrilegious act and it's payback time. The fuse is lit and the brittle inter-racial peace is shattered. Everyone is affected in the fall out.
To say more is to give away the details of this finely crafted film. Suffice to say it's a rewarding experience. Bryan Brown, acting and co-producing, is the pivotal character. His officer is real, human and therefore flawed. Brown comments that he expects audiences to feel warmth towards the man, then suddenly feel angry about him.
It wasn't long ago that I visited Central Australia - Ayers Rock (Uluru) and Alice Springs - for the first time. The wide-screen cinematography shows the Dead Heart of Australia in a way that captures it's vicious beauty, but never deteriorates into a moving slide show, in which the gorgeous background dominates those pesky actors in the foreground.
The cultural clash has provided the thesis for many a film; from the Western to The Birdcage. At least three excellent Australian films have covered the Aboriginal people and the line between them and we Anglo-Saxon 'invaders': "Jedda", "The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith" and "The Last Wave".
In a year when the race 'debate' has reared up in Australia, it is nourishing to see such an intelligent, non-judgemental film as "Dead Heart". The Aboriginal priest best sums this up. He is asked to say if he is a "black fella or white fella".
He says: "I'm just a fella"

Alerts are available for any length of text, as well as an optional dismiss button. For proper styling, use one
of the four required contextual classes (e.g., .alert-success
). For inline dismissal.
Badges scale to match the size of the immediate parent element by using relative font sizing and em
units.
Indicate the current page’s location within a navigational hierarchy. Separators are automatically added in
CSS through ::before
and content
.
Similar to our navigation components, breadcrumbs work fine with or without the usage of list markup.
Use Bootstrap’s custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more. Includes support for a handful of contextual variations, sizes, states, and more.
Bootstrap includes six predefined button styles, each serving its own semantic purpose.
Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of
assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either
obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as
additional text hidden with the .sr-only
class.
Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the button group.
Wrap a series of buttons with .btn
in .btn-group
.
A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options.
If you’re familiar with Bootstrap 3, cards replace our old panels, wells, and thumbnails. Similar functionality to those components is available as modifier classes for cards.
Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other Bootstrap components.
Below is an example of a basic card with mixed content and a fixed width. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they’ll naturally fill the full width of its parent element.
Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.
The carousel is a slideshow for cycling through a series of content, built with CSS 3D transforms and a bit of JavaScript. It works with a series of images, text, or custom markup. It also includes support for previous/next controls and indicators.
In browsers where the Page Visibility API is supported, the carousel will avoid sliding when the webpage is not visible to the user (such as when the browser tab is inactive, the browser window is minimized, etc.).
Please be aware that nested carousels are not supported, and carousels are generally not compliant with accessibility standards.
Carousels don’t automatically normalize slide dimensions. As such, you may need to use additional utilities or custom styles to appropriately size content. While carousels support previous/next controls and indicators, they’re not explicitly required. Add and customize as you see fit.
Be sure to set a unique id on the .carousel
for optional controls,
especially if you’re using multiple carousels on a single page.
Here’s a carousel with slides only. Note the presence of the .d-block
and .img-fluid
on carousel images to prevent browser default image
alignment.
Dropdowns are toggleable, contextual overlays for displaying lists of links and more. They’re made interactive with the included Bootstrap dropdown JavaScript plugin. They’re toggled by clicking, not by hovering; this is an intentional design decision.
Wrap the dropdown’s toggle (your button or link) and the dropdown menu within .dropdown
, or another element that declares position:
relative;
. Dropdowns can be triggered from
or <button>
elements to better fit your potential needs.
Any single .btn
can be turned into a dropdown toggle with some markup
changes. Here’s how you can put them to work with either <button>
elements:
And with
elements:
The best part is you can do this with any button variant, too:
Similarly, create split button dropdowns with virtually the same markup as single button dropdowns, but with
the addition of .dropdown-toggle-split
for proper spacing around the
dropdown caret.
We use this extra class to reduce the horizontal padding
on either
side of the caret by 25% and remove the margin-left
that’s added for
regular button dropdowns. Those extra changes keep the caret centered in the split button and provide a more
appropriately sized hit area next to the main button.
Bootstrap provides several form control styles, layout options, and custom components for creating a wide variety of forms.
Bootstrap’s form controls expand on our Rebooted form styles with classes. Use these classes to opt into their customized displays for a more consistent rendering across browsers and devices. The example form below demonstrates common HTML form elements that receive updated styles from Bootstrap with additional classes.
Remember, since Bootstrap utilizes the HTML5 doctype, all inputs must have a type
attribute.
Easily extend form controls by adding text, buttons, or button groups on either side of textual <input>
s.
Place one add-on or button on either side of an input. You may also place one on both sides of an input. We do not support multiple form-controls in a single input group.
List groups are a flexible and powerful component for displaying a series of content. List group items can be modified and extended to support just about any content within. They can also be used as navigation with the right modifier class.
The most basic list group is an unordered list with list items and the proper classes. Build upon it with the options that follow, or with your own CSS as needed.
Navigation available in Bootstrap share general markup and styles, from the base .nav
class to the active and disabled states. Swap modifier classes to switch
between each style.
The base .nav
component is built with flexbox and provide a strong
foundation for building all types of navigation components. It includes some style overrides (for working with
lists), some link padding for larger hit areas, and basic disabled styling. No active states are included in the
base nav.
Pagination links indicate a series of related content exists across multiple pages. Typically these are used where a multi-page approach to long lists of content improves general performance, such as in search results or inboxes.
We use a large block of connected links for our pagination, making links hard to miss and easily scalable—all
while providing large hit areas. Pagination is built with list HTML elements so screen readers can announce the
number of available links. Use a wrapping
element to identify
it as a navigation section to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
In addition, as pages likely have more than one such navigation section, it’s advisable to provide a
descriptive aria-label
for the

Hey everyone! After a longer than usual break (sorry for that!) we’re back with the latest of React and React DOM.
🎉 Introducing Concurrent Mode (Experimental)
This week, the React team released the first documentation for Concurrent Mode at the React Conf in Las Vegas. Make sure to take some time to read through everything in detail.
All React packages are now also available in a prerelease channel. These special builds will allow you to test upcoming versions of React and help the team iron out bugs in experimental features.
The main change of this release is that the unstable_ prefixed concurrent APIs are now removed from the stable release since they are now available on the experimental release.

RAFALE Wingsuit
The suit comes from the design of the Strix and is likes it’s bigger brother. Designed for belly, back, angle and head down flying but with a huge amount of power and range when needed.The Rafale is aimed towards intermediate to advanced flyers looking for a powerful suit for acro, XRW and BASE jumping. The body and wingsuit of a jumper also act as an airfoil. As a wing (or wingsuit!) moves through the air, the air splits and flows both on top and below the airfoil. When air is pushed down by the wing (the action), the wing is pushed upwards (the reaction).
- Redesigned armwing with a different surface.
- Redesigned lightweight airlock system.
- Redesigned leading edge with new sleek.
- Redesigned legwing with narrowed stance.
- Tighter back leg panels.
- Redesigned body panels.
- New longer body zipper system for better.
Overview
Wingsuit flying (or wingsuiting) is the sport of flying through the air using a wingsuit which adds surface area to the human body to enable a significant increase in lift. The modern wingsuit, first developed in the late 1990s, creates a surface area with fabric between the legs and under the arms. Wingsuits are sometimes referred to as "birdman suits" (after the makers of the first commercial wingsuit), "squirrel suits" (from their resemblance to flying squirrels' wing membrane), and "bat suits" (due to their resemblance to the animal or perhaps the superhero).
A wingsuit flight ends by deploying a parachute, and so a wingsuit can be flown from any point that provides sufficient altitude for flight and parachute deployment – a skydiving drop aircraft, or BASE-jump exit point such as a tall cliff or mountain top. The wingsuit flier wears parachute equipment specially designed for skydiving or BASE jumping. While the parachute flight is normal, the canopy pilot must unzip arm wings (after deployment) to be able to reach the steering parachute toggles and control the descent path.
An early attempt at wingsuit flying was made on 4 February 1912 by a 33-year-old tailor, Franz Reichelt, who jumped from the Eiffel Tower to test his invention of a combination of parachute and wing, which was similar to modern wingsuits. He misled the guards by saying that the experiment was going to be conducted with a dummy. He hesitated quite a long time before he jumped, and died when he hit the ground head first, opening a measurable hole in the frozen ground.
A wingsuit was first used in the US in 1930 by a 19-year-old American, Rex G Finney of Los Angeles, California. The goal was to increase horizontal movement and maneuverability during a parachute jump. These early wingsuits used of materials such as canvas, wood, silk, steel, and whalebone. They were not very reliable, although some "birdmen", such as Clem Sohn and Leo Valentin, claimed to have glided for miles.

This is a random quote generator, it allows a user to click a button and get a new random inspirational or thought provoking quote. This uses a random quote API from forismatic.com in the form of a JSONP request, this is done in order to avoid Cross Origin Resource Sharing issues. It also makes use of Jquery & Bootstrap.
This is a color guessing game based on the rgb color spectrum. The main challenge for this project was getting the game logic to function, this is done purely with Javascript, using event listeners, loops, DOM manipulation and basic algorithms. I am also pretty pleased with the styling of this app and as a bonus I now have my own random RGB Color generator.
This is a simple To-do app. A user can enter any text they like into the input field and it will be displayed below. They can click an item to mark an item as done or they can delete the item by clicking the trash can. This is built with jQuery and CSS and is html safe. There is no backend yet so changes are lost when a user refreshes the page.
This was the very first page I ever made. I made it for freecodecamp.org while working through their front end web developer program. The main challenges for this project at the time were getting the background and foreground to fade in and then implementing a news style ticker along the bottom. This page utilizes HTML5 CSS and Bootstrap, except for the Bootstrap dependencies it uses no Javascript and is mobile responsive.
Hi, I'm Phil.
I'm from Adelaide Australia. I am always trying to learn and currently learning python, django and some c# working in Unity for a bit of fun. I have also tinkered a bit with javascript, Nodejs, Mongodb, Java and of course CSS and HTML. I don't consider myself proficient in any particular language yet but I can just about hack together a simple python program and really enjoy working in python.

Actions, resources, and condition keys for AWS IoT RoboRunner
AWS IoT RoboRunner (service prefix:
iotroborunner
) provides the following service-specific resources, actions, and condition context keys for use in IAM permission policies.

Actions defined by AWS IoT RoboRunner
You can specify the following actions in the
Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions.
The
Resource types
column indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. Required resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you specify a resource-level permission ARN in a statement using this action, then it must be of this type. Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not indicated as required), then you can choose to use one but not the other.
For details about the columns in the following table, see Actions table .

Creating enabling technology for users with paralysis.
We give users back the ability to control their own muscles with our wearable device.
Using an Emotiv Epoc+ brain control interface (BCI), our device is able to grant muscle contractions with minimal use of physical motion or assistance. Emotiv's EEG technology is non-invasive and safe to use for extended periods of time. The device can be controlled with nothing more then the user’s thoughts and simple head motions.
A user can train our device to read their thoughts with the BCI in under 15 minutes. The device will provide clear setup instructions through a built-in screen. Once done, our device handles the interpretation of the user’s thoughts and transfers that into physical motion, assisted by sensor feedback from our sleeve for increased accuracy. The device outputs a safe electrical impulse to contract muscles which is based off of already widely used and tested TENS technology.
Our device attaches to a elastic sleeve which contains embedded electrodes and sensors. This configuration of our sleeve allows movement of the thumb, four fingers, and elbow to assist in performing basic everyday tasks. The elastic sleeve is made to be comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and the device can be disconnected from the sleeve for training and charging.

French basketballer fined in China for not looking at flag
by AGENCE FRANCE PRESSEBEIJING, China, Dec 9 – A French former NBA player has been reprimanded and fined Sh1.4mn by sports officials in China for not looking at the Chinese flag during the national anthem before a game.
Players with the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) are supposed to stare at the national symbol during the “March of the Volunteers”, but television images showed Guerschon Yabusele, who plays for Nanjing Tongxi Monkey King, had his head down before Friday’s game.
Yabusele was given a “serious warning” and a 10,000-yuan fine for not looking at the flag as required, the CBA said in a statement on Saturday.
Yabusele, who played forward for the Boston Celtics for two seasons before joining the CBA team this year, has not commented on the incident.
China’s government has stepped up the promotion of patriotism under President Xi Jinping, with legislation approved in 2017 to punish anyone who disrespects the national anthem with up to three years in prison.
Opinions on Yabusele’s punishment were divided on Chinese social media.
“He’s happy to take money from China, but he doesn’t respect it,” one person wrote on the popular Weibo social media platform.
“This player must be expelled immediately and his club must be disqualified from the championship,” another said.
But many found the sanction to be harsh.
“It’s nonsense. First, he’s not Chinese. Moreover, he stood up and didn’t make any insulting gesture,” one person wrote.
“He has his head down. So what? In what era does the CBA live? It’s 50 years behind.”
Yabusele is not the first foreign athlete to break patriotic rules in China.
Last year, Shandong Luneng’s Brazilian midfielder Diego Tardelli was handed a one-game ban for rubbing his face during the anthem before a game.

using bananas...
My humans need all the help they can get to make themselves presentable...unlike me. So on Day 20 of 30 Days Wild they've turned to nature to enhance their beauty regime.
The biggest human hasn't been scoffing as many bananas as he used to and that's left one looking a little riper than I'd want to get my teeth around. But there was hope for that over-ripe fruit. The rest of the family had read that the fruit acids in bananas can benefit dry skin.
The banana was quickly mashed. Now it should have had some yogurt added. Usually, they make their own yogurt, but haven't managed to get into the routine again after the recent school holidays. They didn't think that a tube of strawberry-flavoured fromage frais would be a reasonable substitute for natural yogurt so they just applied mashed banana to my favourite little human's face. And, because they could rather than because of any real beauty requirements, they placed some slices of cucumber over her eyes.
I heard the squeals from my cage...the banana was cold...it was slipping down her neck or into her ears... I was glad they hadn't wanted to get me involved. The recommended time for someone to keep the face mask on is 15 minutes. The little human lasted 5 minutes, but still thought she'd got some benefits from the experience.
They're contemplating doing something to make hair beautiful later. I'll be digging myself deeper into my den!

Recently, I had my first experience with shrooms. I won't elaborate on the trip (beyond saying that it was absolutely incredible, enlightening, and astonishingly dazzling) - because I want to share with everyone the preparation that we consumed - Magic Hot Chocolate!
Firstly, start off by setting to boil enough water for a cup for each tripper. Wash your shrooms to get the dirt off, then once the water has come to a boil, chuck in enough of them for everyone. Turn down the heat, let cook for about 10-15 mins.
Strain the liquid through a cloth into a jug, and you can then discard or re-boil the shrooms again to get every last bit out of them.
Now mix together some cocoa, sugar & honey to taste in a seperate cup, add a little water and stick it in the microwave until it almost boils over, mix, add to the mushie-jooce, stir well, and serve!
The drink should keep well and tastes nothing of mushrooms, just delicious chocolate - which is really nice when you have some more during your trip :)
Enjoy!

Status: Passed, Mar 89 X3J13Issue: IN-SYNTAX
Edit History: 21-Oct-88, Version 1 by Pitman
Version 2, KMP 3/30/89
Version 3, 9-Apr-89, Masinter
(Include discussion from Version 1)
Problem Description:
There is no way to bind read syntax within a file.
As a result, applications which require extended syntax of some sort
tend to globally modify the lisp readtable at compile and load time,
sometimes interfering with other modules and/or user interaction.
Conscientious developers often avoid the creation of any stylized
syntax because of its likely effect on parts of the environment which
don't really belong to the application developer. This need for
paranoia is probably contrived and the result of what amounts to
an oversight in the design of Common Lisp.
Proposal (IN-SYNTAX:MINIMAL):
Define that COMPILE-FILE and LOAD bind *READTABLE* to its current value.
Rationale:
This allows portable programs to do
(IN-PACKAGE "FOO")
(EVAL-WHEN (EVAL LOAD COMPILE)
(SETQ *READTABLE* FOO:MY-READTABLE))
at the top of a file without globally side-effecting the
environment.
Currently, there is no portable way to change the syntax only for
the duration of a file, which in turn makes customized syntax
difficult to use safely.
Programs that want to side effect the environment can instead
continue to modify *READTABLE*.
This is enough of a foothold to implement a more elaborate facility
for using readtables in a localized way.
Current Practice:
mixed
Cost to Implementors:
Very small.
Cost to Users:
small
Cost of Non-Adoption:
Readtables would continue to be hard to use in a clean way.
Benefits:
If people could use readtables safely, we might see more interesting
experimentation with read syntax.
Aesthetics:

Easily connect to Statistics Canada’s Web Data Service with R. Find and access open economic data (formerly known as CANSIM tables, now identified by Product IDs (PID)) which are accessible as a data frame, directly in the user’s R environment.
For people less comfortable with R and to allow more people to have access to our package, we have also developed a Shiny application.Through the same logic present in our package, researchers can retrieve data from Statistics Canada.
statcanR EploR is available [here]
The released version of statcanR package is accessible through CRAN and devtools.
install.packages("statcanR")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github('warint/statcanR')
This section presents an example of how to use the statcanR
R package and its functions: statcan_search()
, statcan_data()
, and statcan_download_data()
.
The following example is provided to illustrate how to use the functions. It consists in collecting some descriptive statistics about the Canadian Labour Force at the federal, provincial and industrial levels, on a monthly basis.
To identify a relevant table, the statcan_search() function can be used by using a keyword or set of keywords and specifying the language in which the data will be presented (English or French). Below is an example that reveals the data tables we could be interested in:
library(statcanR)
statcan_search(c("federal","expenditures","objectives"),"eng")
Notice that for each corresponding table, the unique table number identifier is also presented. Let’s focus the first table out of the two that appear, which contains data on Federal expenditures on science and technology, by socio-economic objectives. Once this table number is identified (‘27-10-0014-01’), the statcan_data() function is easy to use in order to collect the data, as following:
library(statcanR)
mydata <- statcan_data("27-10-0014-01","eng")
For the statcan_download_data()
function there is no difference on how to use it, the only difference is that this function allow you to download the data in a csv file on top of having the data in your environment.
library(statcanR)
mydata <- statcan_download_data("27-10-0014-01","eng")

Make long-running processes non-blockingA program that takes a long time to execute might freeze the browser and cause messages to appear in the window, saying that the script takes a long time to run and asking the user if he wants to stop it or continue.In this page, the process consists in building a 1,000,000 element list. Running it without any precaution causes the browser to freeze. To avoid this and keep the page responsive, we use the function
This instruction tells the program to run the function again in 0 seconds, ie almost immediately, but just before it gives control back to the browser, which can for instance print something on the page or react to a click on a button. Although it lasts much longer than the time after which a browser prints a warning, the script remains responsive, for instance you can enter text in the textarea and click on the button to know the text lengths (the browser will of course react a little slower than if no heavy computation was done in the same time). |

6 May 2010 - The Ministry of Health of Indonesia has announced two new confirmed cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. A 45-year-old female from the city of Malang in East Java province developed symptoms on 22 February. She recovered and is in a healthy condition. The case disposed of dead chickens in the 4 days before onset of symptoms.
The second case, a 4-year-old female from the city of Pekanbaru in Riau province developed symptoms on 19 April, was hospitalized on 22 April but died on 28 April. Investigations into the source of infection are ongoing.
Laboratory tests on both cases confirmed infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus.
Of the 165 cases confirmed to date in Indonesia, 136 have been fatal.


This chapter introduces SIR model, a model for spread of disease in Epidemiology, and some related terms.
R0, or basic reproductive number, is the average number of people who get infected from one single case of a certain disease in "the zero state", which means nobody else in the group is immunized or infected. In Epidemiology, we use Re, or effective reproduction number, to denote the average number of people who get infected from one single case in a "given state" (for example, at a given time t).
But usually, just a single R0 could give us a picture about how infectious the disease is. Suppose one person in a party is the first case of a disease and its R0 is 2, then there will be about two people in the party got this disease. When they go back home, each of them will spread the disease to their two family members and so on.
$$\text{In theory, } \begin{cases} R_0<1, \text{it will finally die out without control} \\ R_0=1, \text{it will grow gradually} \\ R_0>1, \text{there will be an outbreak}\end{cases}$$Use slider below to change R0 in the graph and observe the difference.
| Prevalence | Incidence |
| 0 | 0 |
Duration is the time period that a case stays in the prevalent case pool. Because duration will vary from person to person, we usually use average duration for a certain disease in a population instead.
Incidence Rate is the average incidence in a given period of time.
$$\text{Incidence Rate} = \frac{\text{incidence}}{\text{time period}}$$Prevalence(P) depends on the Incidence Rate(IR) and Duration(D):
$$\frac{\text{P}}{\text{1-P}} \approx IR \times D$$If P is small enough then 1-P is close to 1, we have:
$$P \approx IR \times D$$You could think about a pool with inflow and outflow. If incidence rate is the rate of inflow and duration is the time period for water staying in the pool, then the water level will indicate the prevalence.
Suppose the total population is 100 and the visualization indicates final prevalence when incidence rate and duration rate is constant. You could drag bars below to adjust incidence rate and duration rate.
Besides of the frequency of affected, death could also be a factor when study the epidemic. For example, Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is the proportion of people with the condition who die in a given period of time. Similar to Incidence, which is the percentage of affected in the at-risk pool, Case fatality rate is the percentage of death in the affected pool.
Intuitively, case fatality rate tells us how fatal a disease is. For example, the well-known Ebola virus has a case fatality rate from 83-90%. In the daily life, people usually describe the fatality of a given disease as "death rate", but in epidemiology death rate (or mortality rate) usually means the percentage of the people who die from a certain disease in a fixed population group such as nationality and race.
$$\text{CFR} = \frac{\text{Fatal Cases}}{\text{Detected Cases}}$$You could click the figure on the right to control its status and check the current CFR in the population. Purple means detected while red means fatal.

Are you talking specifically about the episode 'Seth'? A 'beef' i have withthat one was the 'census' Jacob was talking about at the beginning, and saying they've accounted for all (most?) of them bar seth: and yet, at the time, Isis and Osiris were also here, and so was Hathor (albeit, she was found before this episode, but only by a year, so they must have done a lot of work in that year to find every other goa'uld when they couldn't even find the major ones the year before).
But yes, i know, continuity over such a small detail seasons apart, who would notice but us anyway?

Vets warn of 'Trojan' dogs bringing deadly diseases to the UK
The British Veterinary Association is calling for compulsory health checks on dogs at UK border crossings, to protect pups on our shores from potentially deadly diseases
by Karen RockettVets are warning of the dangers of “Trojan” dogs bringing deadly diseases to the UK, as the number of foreign rescued strays soars.
The British Veterinary Association is calling on political parties to make compulsory health checks at borders part of their election manifestos, to protect pups on our shores.
Daniella Dos Santos, BVA President, said: “Adverts for organisations that rehome European dogs are often only a couple of clicks away.
“But in reality these Trojan dogs often have unknown health histories and may pose a risk to the native pet population and even humans if they bring in new diseases.”
Imports of dogs through the Pet Travel Scheme have doubled from 150,000 in 2013 to just over 300,000 last year, Defra has revealed.
It is thought the popularity of rescuing a stray from abroad has been fuelled by well-meaning celebrities.
Actor Orlando Bloom rescued a dog, Sidi, from the streets of Morocco.
Tennis legend Sue Barker adopted hers from Romania. Ricky Gervais is also patron of a charity that brings rescue dogs to the UK from Romania.
Daniella added: “We would always advise people to look at rehoming dogs already in the country. There are so many here who deserve a loving home and don’t pose a potential health risk.”
Vets are particularly worried about potentially fatal leishmaniasis.
It is common across Europe and can cause skin infections, eye and spleen problems and weight loss.
They have also reported seeing cases of other exotic conditions such as ehrlichiosis, babesiosis and heartworm.
Daniella added: “If you already own a rescue dog from abroad, ask a vet for advice on testing and treatment.”
Designer breeds and cross-breeds bred abroad in unsafe conditions can also bring diseases to the UK.
A Defra spokesman defended checks already in place at borders, saying: “Every dog must have its microchip and passport checked, which helps make sure puppies entering the country are properly vaccinated.”

Using BeConverter
Using the BeConverter is very simple and straight-forward. When you launch BeConverter, the first screen looks something like this:
The various buttons
The Converter... button opens the Converter window through which you perform conversions.
The Options... button brings up the permanent settings window through which you specify some settings for BeConverter.
The About... button brings up BeConverter's copyright and developer information.
The Help... button opens up your browser with this user's guide.
The Close button closes BeConverter and all its open windows.
To perform conversion you have to highlight any category and click the Converter... button or highlight any one category and press Enter or double click the category.
Once you have clicked the button, the BeConverter displays a new window with all the units in the selected (highlighted) category. This new window is called the Converter window.  In our example below we have opened the "Digital Quantity" converter:
As you can see the above illustration explains the various elements of the Converter window's interface.
Just as Tracker reserves a window for each folder you open, BeConverter reserves a Converter window for each category you choose. Thus, you can open and work with several Converter windows simultaneously. This is possible thanks to BeConverter's accomodative framework.
The basics
To use the converter, first you need fill in the Initial value textbox, which is the quantity in the selected base unit. In our example, the initial value is 640 and the selected base unit is "megabyte", which means the value is 640 megabytes.
The Initial value textbox allows you to type in numbers either in the standard normal notation or in the scientific notation. In either case you are allowed to use commas to seperate digits in any manner, hence entering large numbers is made easier. For example, the value of 10 million (10000000) can be entered as 10,000,000 and will be properly understood by BeConverter. Commas can be used anywhere in the number as they will be ignored during calculations.
BeConverter also understands numbers in scientific notation. For example, you can enter 10000 as 1e+4.
Another built-in functionality of BeConverter is that in the Initial value textbox you can type regular mathematical expressions and have them evaluated by pressing Enter. Click here to find out more on this expression evaluator.
As you type in the number or as you choose the base-unit, the converter updates itself by re-calculating all the other units. This is what is called "live" updation. Although it re-calculates all the units "live" using a conversion engine there isn't any slowdown in the speed even on low-end systems.
These are the basic and fundamental steps involved in using the BeConverter.
The extras
Apart from performing basic conversions you will sometimes need to increase or decrease the precision (the number of decimal places) being displayed or you may even wish to see the values in scientific notation.
The .# e checkbox signifies the display notation currently used. You can toggle between scientific notation and the usual numeric notation at anytime. Scientific notation expresses very large or very small values in powers of 10. For example, the notation 999e+3 means 999 × 10³.
The #. 6 button indicates the current precision of the values being displayed. You can choose from a list of precision available (ranges from 0 to 15) by clicking the menu. If you want a bigger precision you must choose so from the Options window.
Important note:Please bear in mind that the aforementioned options in the Converter window are purely temporary, provided for quick alterations of settings.
They always revert back to the values specified in the Options window, which is where you specify permanent settings. These are only temporary. To see how to set permanent settings for BeConverter refer the "Setting options" section of this manual.The Copy button isn't the usual copy function. Its an extended copy function that copies the current conversion with all the units in a neat format.
If you wish to copy the results of your conversion to some other program then copying each unit's value one-by-one can be tedious and frustrating. This copy function copies either the selected values to the clipboard or all the values (if none are selected) to the clipboard quickly.
By using the copy button in our example,the following text was copied to the clipboard:
640 megabyte = 0.000640 TB = 0.640000 GB = 640.000000 MB =<PHONE_NUMBER>00 KB = 671088640.000000 B =<PHONE_NUMBER>.000000 bIf you don't wish to copy all the units to the clipboard you can select a particular value and press C to copy the values from the textboxes of your choice.The Close button closes the current Converter window.

public interface Synthesizer
A Synthesizer
generates sound. This usually happens when one of
the Synthesizer
's MidiChannel
objects receives a
noteOn
message, either
directly or via the Synthesizer
object.
Many Synthesizer
s support Receivers
, through which
MIDI events can be delivered to the Synthesizer
.
In such cases, the Synthesizer
typically responds by sending
a corresponding message to the appropriate MidiChannel
, or by
processing the event itself if the event isn't one of the MIDI channel
messages.
The Synthesizer
interface includes methods for loading and
unloading instruments from soundbanks. An instrument is a specification for synthesizing a
certain type of sound, whether that sound emulates a traditional instrument or is
some kind of sound effect or other imaginary sound. A soundbank is a collection of instruments, organized
by bank and program number (via the instrument's Patch
object).
Different Synthesizer
classes might implement different sound-synthesis
techniques, meaning that some instruments and not others might be compatible with a
given synthesizer.
Also, synthesizers may have a limited amount of memory for instruments, meaning
that not every soundbank and instrument can be used by every synthesizer, even if
the synthesis technique is compatible.
To see whether the instruments from
a certain soundbank can be played by a given synthesizer, invoke the
isSoundbankSupported
method of
Synthesizer
.
"Loading" an instrument means that that instrument becomes available for
synthesizing notes. The instrument is loaded into the bank and
program location specified by its Patch
object. Loading does
not necessarily mean that subsequently played notes will immediately have
the sound of this newly loaded instrument. For the instrument to play notes,
one of the synthesizer's MidiChannel
objects must receive (or have received)
a program-change message that causes that particular instrument's
bank and program number to be selected.

Although the latency is expressed in microseconds, a synthesizer's actual measured delay may vary over a wider range than this resolution suggests. For example, a synthesizer might have a worst-case delay of a few milliseconds or more.
MidiChannel[] getChannels()
MidiChannel
that
receives the MIDI messages sent on that channel number.
The MIDI 1.0 specification provides for 16 channels, so this
method returns an array of at least 16 elements. However, if this synthesizer
doesn't make use of all 16 channels, some of the elements of the array
might be null
, so you should check each element
before using it.

Note that you don't use this method to find out which instruments are
currently loaded onto the synthesizer; for that purpose, you use
getLoadedInstruments()
.
Nor does the method indicate all the instruments that can be loaded onto
the synthesizer; it only indicates the subset that come with the synthesizer.
To learn whether another instrument can be loaded, you can invoke
isSoundbankSupported()
, and if the instrument's
Soundbank
is supported, you can try loading the instrument.

‘Doctor Who’ trailer showcases action-packed new series – and it’s not far away
"The name's Doctor. The Doctor."
A trailer for the twelfth new series of Doctor Who has been released by the BBC, along with a confirmation of when fans can expect to see the show return.
Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord hasn’t been on screens since New Year’s Day this year, but a short teaser clip previously advised fans to “make space” for November 23.

The first full trailer includes appearances from Stephen Fry, returning companions Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole, and Mandip Gill, and a potential battle with the Doctor’s old nemesis the Cybermen. “Something’s coming for me,” Whittaker says in the clip. “I can feel it.”
The tweet is captioned “Coming early 2020.” Watch the full video below.
Earlier this year Doctor Who fans mourned the loss of Terrance Dicks, one of the original writers on the show, who died aged 84 on September 2.
His death was confirmed by the official Doctor Who Twitter account in a tweet that read:
“BREAKING NEWS… just received comms that legendary #DoctorWho writer, Terrance Dicks has died. Genuinely gutted. An incredibly talented man who we had the pleasure of interviewing over the years. He also regularly took part in Q&As on the DWO Forums. He will be sorely missed!”
Known to fans as ‘Uncle Terrance’, he began working on the BBC show in 1968. As a script writer he edited the Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee eras of the hit series, and later wrote many spin-off novels from the show.


DMCI, Phinma and Cosco book mixed earnings
by Jenniffer B. AustriaConglomerates DMCI Holdings Inc., Cosco Capital Inc. and Phinma Corp. booked mixed earnings results in the first nine months of the year.
DMCI Holdings of the Consunji Group said in a disclosure to the stock exchange its nine-month net income declined 11 percent to P9.3 billion from P10.4 billion year-on-year.
It attributed the lower profit to lower income contributions from units Semirara Mining and Power Corp. D.M. Consunji Inc. and DMCI Mining Corp.
DMCI Holdings, however, booked a 47-percent increase in net income in the third quarter to P2.8 billion from P1.9 billion a year earlier due to the normalized coal operations of SMPC from a year ago when heavy rains in July and August caused a production slowdown.
“We had a strong third quarter but we still expect negative growth for the full-year because of the scheduled shutdown of Calaca Units 1 and 2, low coal prices and lower construction accomplishments in our real estate business,” said DMCI chairman and president Isidro Consunji.
Cosco Capital Inc., the listed retail holding firm of tycoon Lucio Co, said consolidated net income jumped 137 percent to P14.52 billion in the first nine months of 2019 from P6.12 billion on year on the strong performance of business units as well as one-time gain from the sale of Liquigaz.
Minus the one time gain, core attributable net income to equity holders grew rose 14 percent to P4.25 billion.
The group’s grocery retailing businesses, Puregold Price Club Inc. and S&R Membership Shopping Club, contributed 54 percent of total profits, followed by the commercial real estate segment with 22 percent and the liquor distribution with 17 percent.
Conglomerate Phinma Corp. also posted a 37-percent increase in nine-month net income to P312 million from P227 million a year ago.
