Units will sometimes discover other player's units partway through a turn. If you are at
not at war with that player, your units will ignore them. However, if you are at war with a
player, field orders instruct your units on how they should react when they discover an enemy unit.
'Move To' tells your unit to ignore enemy units - they won't auto-attack.
'Attack Weaker' tells your unit to attack weaker enemy units.
'Attack All' tells your unit to attack all enemy units. (This can be useful when you want to clear an area of all enemy units.)
'Attack Air' tells your unit to attack air units. When air units are given this order, they will automatically intercept enemy air units.
'Attack Sea' tells your unit to attack sea units.
To change a unit's field orders, select the unit and then select the field order. The field order
will be shown just below the unit's flag.

My name is Francisco Granados, I recently Graduated from Conestoga College with a diploma in Software Engineer Technology. I would say Im a person who takes pride in what i do and enjoy playing around with new and different technologies.
In my 3 years at Conestoga College I have gained valuable experience with many languages including but not limited to C#,C++,C and java as well as many web technologies which include ASP.NET, PHP and javascript. I have also learned how to write a software requirements specification document and have gained experience adhering to the software development lifecycle. Using an agile approach my team mates and I completed a successful final year project.
I am a hardworking individual dedicated to my craft with a goal to keep learning ways to improve my skill set. a few of my other passions outside of developing software applications are basketball video games and muay thai.

Wake Word LED Gadget Example¶
This guide steps through the process of creating an Alexa Gadget that turns an LED on and off in sync with the detection of the wake word.
Prerequisites¶
In order to to run this example you should already have a Raspberry Pi with the Alexa-Gadgets-Raspberry-Pi-Samples software installed. Learn more in the project README. In addition, you will need the following hardware:
Header pins soldered to your Raspberry Pi (used for connecting hardware)
Two male-female jumper wires
Step 1: Connect the LED to your Pi¶
The circuit consists of a power supply (the Raspberry Pi), an LED that lights up when the power is applied, and a resistor to limit the current that can flow through the circuit.
You will be using one of the ‘ground’ (GND) pins to act like the ‘negative’ or zero-volt end of a battery. The ‘positive’ end of the battery will be provided by a GPIO pin. Here we will use pin 14. When the pin is ‘taken high’, which means that it outputs 3.3 volts, the LED will light up. Now take a look at the circuit diagram below. Learn more about pin locations.
You should turn your Raspberry Pi OFF for the next bit, just in case you accidentally short something out.
Use one of the jumper wires to connect a ground pin to the rail, marked with blue, on the breadboard. The female end goes on the Raspberry Pi’s pin, and the male end goes into a hole on the breadboard.
Connect the resistor from the same row on the breadboard to a column on the breadboard, as shown above.
Push the LED’s legs into the breadboard, with the long leg (with the kink) on the right.
Complete the circuit by connecting pin 14 to the right-hand leg of the LED. This is the orange wire shown above.
Once everything is connected, start up your Pi.
Step 2: Configure your credentials¶
Now that the LED is connected to your Pi, you can continue on with the example.
As with any example, you’ll need to first add the credentials that are associated with the gadget you created in the Alexa Voice Service Developer Console:
On the command line of your Pi, navigate to
/home/pi/Alexa-Gadgets-Raspberry-Pi-Samples/src/examples/wakeword
and open thewakeword.ini
file within that folder.Change the
amazonId
fromYOUR_GADGET_AMAZON_ID
to the Amazon ID that is displayed on the gadget’s product page in the Alexa Voice Service Developer Console.Change the
alexaGadgetSecret
fromYOUR_GADGET_SECRET
to the Alexa Gadget Secret that is displayed on the gadget’s product page in the Alexa Voice Service Developer Console.
You can also use the launch script’s setup mode to configure all the credentials for all the examples at once as follows:
Start the launch script in setup mode
sudo python3 launch.py --setup
Enter ‘y’ when prompted for configuring the gadget credentials; and enter the
amazonId
andalexaGadgetSecret
that is displayed on the gadget’s product page in the Alexa Voice Service Developer Console.
To learn more, refer to Register a Gadget in the Alexa Gadgets Toolkit documentation.
Step 3: Explore the example¶
The example follows the same model as other examples that you can browse within the Alexa-Gadgets-Raspberry-Pi-Samples project.
Configuration¶
Within the wakeword.ini
file, in addition to the credentials you just modified, you will see a group of [GadgetCapabilities]
that this gadget is registering for. In this case, it is registering for StateListener
:
[GadgetCapabilities]
Alexa.Gadget.StateListener = 1.0 - wakeword
In this example, you will be using version 1.0 of the StateListener interface, and responding to the wake word type.
Code¶
Within wakeword.py
you’ll notice the import and use of Raspberry Pi’s GPIO capabilities using the gpiozero library:
from gpiozero import LED
You’ll also see the configuration of the LED:
LED = LED(GPIO_PIN)
In addition to callbacks for connectivity, you’ll see a StateListener
callback that can be used to control the LED:
def on_alexa_gadget_statelistener_stateupdate(self, directive):
for state in directive.payload.states:
if state.name == 'wakeword':
if state.value == 'active':
logger.info('Wake word active - turn on LED')
LED.on()
elif state.value == 'cleared':
logger.info('Wake word cleared - turn off LED')
LED.off()
The above callback is listening for the wake word states of active and cleared to control the LED to turn on and off.
Step 4: Test your gadget¶
In order for this gadget to function, it will need to be paired to a compatible Echo device. Before running the example, refer to the pairing guide to learn how to pair your gadget.
With your Echo device nearby, run the Python code:
sudo python3 launch.py --example wakeword
Once your gadget paired/connected, try the following commands:
“Alexa, what time is it?”
On the Pi, you should see LED on
and LED off
print alongside the gadget messages, and the LED should turn on and off in sync with the wake word detection, in this case, when you say Alexa.
Note: If you’ve set your Echo device to respond to a different wake word, e.g. Amazon, Computer, Echo, you should still see the wake word detection occur. You will just need to use the wake word of the Echo device that you’ve configured to test this and other examples.
What’s next¶
Now that you can control an LED, you could tie it to a timer, speech data, etc. You can also explore other ways to use GPIO library, or hardware and Python libraries that work with Raspberry Pi.
To learn more about Alexa Gadgets Toolkit capabilities, review the documentation.


| vec_slice {vctrs} | R Documentation |
This provides a common interface to extracting and modifying observations
for all vector types, regardless of dimensionality. It is an analog to [
that matches vec_size()
instead of length()
.
vec_slice(x, i) vec_slice(x, i) <- value vec_assign(x, i, value, ..., x_arg = "", value_arg = "")
x |

Argument names for |
A vector of the same type as x
.
Support for S3 objects depends on whether the object implements a
vec_proxy()
method.
When a vec_proxy()
method exists, the proxy is sliced and
vec_restore()
is called on the result.
Otherwise vec_slice()
falls back to the base generic [
.
Note that S3 lists are treated as scalars by default, and will
cause an error if they don't implement a vec_proxy()
method.
vec_slice()
only slices along one dimension. For
two-dimensional types, the first dimension is subsetted.
vec_slice()
preserves attributes by default.
vec_slice<-()
is type-stable and always returns the same type
as the LHS.
base::`[`
If a non-data-frame vector class doesn't have a vec_proxy()
method, the vector is sliced with [
instead.
x <- sample(10) x vec_slice(x, 1:3) # You can assign with the infix variant: vec_slice(x, 2) <- 100 x # Or with the regular variant that doesn't modify the original input: y <- vec_assign(x, 3, 500) y x # Slicing objects of higher dimension: vec_slice(mtcars, 1:3) # Type stability -------------------------------------------------- # The assign variant is type stable. It always returns the same # type as the input. x <- 1:5 vec_slice(x, 2) <- 20.0 # `x` is still an integer vector because the RHS was cast to the # type of the LHS: vec_ptype(x) # Compare to `[<-`: x[2] <- 20.0 vec_ptype(x) # Note that the types must be coercible for the cast to happen. # For instance, you can cast a double vector of whole numbers to an # integer vector: vec_cast(1, integer()) # But not fractional doubles: try(vec_cast(1.5, integer())) # For this reason you can't assign fractional values in an integer # vector: x <- 1:3 try(vec_slice(x, 2) <- 1.5)

Oracle Guide:
Brilliant five-colored light shines forth from an aquamarine sphere. You hear a loud, dear voice:
Welcome, you who have accomplished the test of the Oracle. Your contributions have led to the downfall of the Demon Balor.
I am the last child of the Oracle, whose mission it is to escort you safely to the place where Parme is being kept. She is still under an evil influence, but the object you carry has the power to heal her.
If you are ready to meet the priests of the Water Dragon, give me your hand.
Go to meet Parme.

I don't know for sure what this thing is called, we call it the merry-go-round because that is what the fellow called it who sold it to us. We do know that it plays a great role in the extracting process. Frames from the uncapper are placed here while waiting for the extractor to finish the batch that is running. It also allows the frames of honeycomb to be rotated toward the uncapping table for a final check before placing them into the extractor. |

Time & Habits.
I quite like the sound of the pomodoro technique and will definitely be impelementing that into my practice from now on. I think that would work quite well for me, and hopefully over time I will get better at knowing how many pomodoros I will need to complete something.
I really liked the idea of having a growth mindset or a fixed mindset and also that in order to be confident it's important to demonstrate that in small acts.
The idea of starting small, and not trying to get to a big picture idea too quickly was also interesting and I think I definitely also want to get to the finish line much sooner that I really should.

SNEAKERS A film review by Sarah M. Elkins Copyright 1992 Sarah M. Elkins
SNEAKERS: Action/"sting" movie, up-to-date with cryptology, hacking, and the NSA; high-tech thefts and double-crosses, the good guys against "the gummint," or is it really? Or *is* it really?
Plot/kick-off: Marty, the head of a security consulting firm with a 60's rebel/hacker past, is threatened with jail unless he helps the National Security Agency (an actual US government agency, which does seem to have been overstepping its bounds lately, initially charged with monitoring and decoding any signal transmission relevant to the security of the United States) steal a cryptologist mathematician's "black box" invention. He enlists his firm's help to get it and more action results from this.
Characters/acting: Robert Redford is believable as Marty. Mary McDonnell was good as Liz, Marty's ex-girlfriend who got tired of Marty's "boys club" but gets dragged back into Marty's life when he needs her help. Dan Ackroyd was hilarious as "Mother," the phone phreak who lives the Illuminati trilogy, perhaps a little too deeply (conspiracy theories abound). Sidney Poitier was a pleasure to see as the ex-CIA man. These players all seemed well into their parts, not "look I'm Robert Redford" etc. Unfortunately, Ben Kingsley and James Earl Jones seemed a little bit over-the-top as the characters they played. Ben! Stop playing these power-hungry smoothies and get back to Pascali's Island! James!  Oh. Please excuse me for my outburst. :-)
Cinematography/FX: okay.
Score/Sound: good varied soundtrack, also good sound FX.
Violence/Gore: some bullets flying, a couple of dead bodies (no gore), a few fights and slugs.
Language: probably some, not a lot.
Skin/situations: innuendos, some kissing and foreplay.
Analysis: Great throwaway lines, good twists and turns, edge-of-your-seat at times, but a little self-indulgent, especially at the end (think TERMINATOR 2). I feel like one final draft could have ironed out some of the movie's flaws (a couple of inconsistencies, a couple of doubtful scenarios, and the overplaying mentioned above), but on the other hand I didn't think about most of them until the day after. It was nice to see a movie take a crack at the NSA (anyone interested in our right to privacy in communications should read "Decrypting the Puzzle Palace," John Perry Barlow's analysis of the recent behind-the-scenes actions and initiatives of the NSA, printed in COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM, June 1992 and reprinted in EFFECTOR ONLINE, Issue 3.1, July 29, 1992). Minor flaws and serious considerations of our eroding rights aside, however, SNEAKERS was a fun movie with some cool scenes/tricks to cheer at, certainly an enjoyable ride.

The default settings can be viewed by accessing the
menu. To ensure settings are not lost when the package is upgraded, make sure all edits are saved to .A list of CA cert information for the purpose of providing a secure way to download packages. A default list is provided with Package Control, but then the default repository channel provides updates to the list. It is also possible to add your own entries for custom download locations, or for supporting your local proxy server.
To add your own, be sure to copy the JSON object below and then add your custom entries. The key in the JSON object is the domain the cert applies to. The value is an array with two elements, the first being an identifier for the cert, and the second being a location to copy the cert from. The identifier is used to ensure that Package Control has a copy of the latest version of the cert in its certs/ folder. The location can be either an absolute file path on your local machine, or a URL to download it from.
To create a CA cert that is ensured to be present no matter what domain is being accessed (such as for a proxy server), set the domain name to *, like in the example on the next line:
"*": ["my_proxy_cert", "/file/path/to/proxy/ca_certs"]
This ca cert needs to live somewhere on your machine permanently so that it can be re-added to the ca-bundle.crt file that is provided with each Package Control upgrade.

This celebratory hog feast would really wow at a wedding and makes a lovely alternative to turkey on Christmas Day.
Before you buy the suckling pig, measure your oven and your fridge to make sure it will fit! If it's too big, ask your butcher to cut it in half. You will need to order a suckling pig at least 4 days in advance from any butcher.
Equipment and preparation: For this recipe you will need some large, clean, bin-bag-sized food bags.
For the marinade, mix together all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl until well combined.
Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, pierce holes all over the skin of the suckling pig, about 5cm/2in apart.
  Squeeze out as much air from the bags as possible, secure tightly, then set aside in the fridge to marinate for 24 hours, turning the suckling pig after 12 hours.
Once the suckling pig has marinated, remove it from the fridge and set aside at room temperature for 6 hours.
When the suckling pig has returned to room temperature, preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
 Wrap the head, trotters and tail in aluminium foil, then roast in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the skin is golden-brown.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2 and continue to roast the suckling pig for 3 hours (for a 5kg/11lb pig) and 4 hours (for an 8kg/15½lb pig). Check the suckling pig every 30 minutes or so to make sure that the skin is not burning, basting it with the roasting juices each time. (If the skin is browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees or so.) For the last 30 minutes of cooking time, remove the foil from the pig to brown the head, trotters and tail.
Remove the suckling pig from the oven and pour the roasting juices into a saucepan. Set the pig aside to rest for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the roasting juices over a medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornflour and enough water to form a thick paste with the consistency of double cream. Add the mixture to the roasting juices to thicken them. If they thicken too much, thin with more boiling water if necessary. Stir the ingredients together for 10 minutes, or until the gravy is smooth and has thickened.
To serve, carve the suckling pig at the table, and place the slices onto serving plates. Drizzle over the gravy. Serve with Peruvian-style vegetables and grains, such as quinoa, stir-fried vegetables, fried cassava or roast sweet potato.


It all started the week I had a mental breakdown from my anxiety and depression. I had a hard time getting to work and finding motivation to do anyting at all. Plus, I had been sleeping all the time and this had been my 7th or eigth major breakdown. So in order to save myself and hopefully get a better perspective on things, I decided I needed to journey into the past to maybe dig up some past events that may have been the catalist to my depressions.
At about 11pm I started with a half an eigth. I felt good, but it just didn't feel like it was enuff so I ate the rest of the eigth. I then went into the bathroom and turned off the lights and climbed into the bathtub, waiting to ride out some of the scarry visions in order to gain insight. I waited an hour, but still wasn't feeling like I had gone where I needed to go, so I ate another half an eigth.
At about 1am I went into my bedroom, sat in bed and saw my entire childhood and all the depression I have suffered from growing up, I remembered all the times I couldn't get out of bed because I wanted to die. I cried, I cried REALLY... fucking...hard. After crying, I felt extremely relieved but still wanted to see where my depression came from growing up as a child, and where it started. I was sick of living the vicious cycle of major depression all my life. I wanted to dig deeper, I wanted a revelation. So I ate the rest.
At about 3am, I sat in bed and ran through the cosmos of hyperspace.  I was very high, but still wanted to go further. I said out loud to god 'Let me see it!, Let me see where my pain comes from so that I can heal it. Show me the way out of this mind prison'
15 minutes later I had a wave come over me that was so over bareing that I became frightened. I got up out of bed and into my living room where I was going to listen to music to calm me down.  And then WHAM!
Out of panic, I woke up my brother saying 'Steven, call 911, I overdosed.'
I then saw a vision of myself in the hospital where my mother had flown all the way from Seattle to Boise to hopefully bring her son back. I kept seeing my mother shaking my body and looking into my eyes that had turn into spirals, crying her eyes out because I was going to die.
My brother woke up and told me I would be ok and that he wasn't going to take me to the hospital. Meanwhile, I continued to rock back and forth in extreme terror. I called a friend who came over at 4am to help bring me back. My brother and friend held me and petted my head asureing me that I would be alright. I continued to shake in fear for 2 more hours, helplessly high, and realizing that I would never be the same again.
I finally calmed down at about 8am and tried to go to sleep but couldn't. I called all my friends to help ground me and talk about old times. That defenitly helped. I realized that my friends are the most important thing in my life. They're what keep me here and together. I called my mother too, and we have since became very close. For about a week I had panic attacks that came from memories of my trip. Even while at home by myself my mind would start to go out there again and feel like I was going to die. I decided to go visit my mother for a week for comfort. It helped, but not fully. I still felt like would slip away at any moment. She was by my side always to ground me. 2 weeks passed by and the panic attacks faded away and I was able to come back home to Boise.
As of now, I still have feelings of being out of my body and always have to find ways of grounding myself for comfort. I strongly hope that other people out there who suffer from major depression looking for answers from psychedelics will read this. Be oh so carefull with dosage. Because if the trip go's left and you have no one around to comfort you, all you can do is sing. Sing Sing Sing! Sing your favorite song over and over. That's the best advise I have to give.
'And I ran, I ran so far away, I just ran, I ran all night and day....I couldn't get away' -flock of seagulls

Harden torches Wolves for 49
by AFPLos Angeles—James Harden scored 49 points on a career-high 41 shot attempts as the Houston Rockets won their seventh straight game with a 125-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.
Harden shot eight of 22 from three-point range and the team shot 19 of 49 on threes overall. He added six assists and five rebounds in 39 minutes of playing time for his fifth 40-plus game during the current win streak.
“We wanted to come here and win this game and we showed them,” Harden said.
Point guard Ben McLemore carried over the momentum of his season-high 21 point performace on Friday by scoring 20 against the Timberwolves. McLemore nailed a pair of free throws with 1:29 remaining in the third to give Houston their first double-digit lead of the contest, 89-79
Austin Rivers and Chris Clemons scored 19 points apiece for the Rockets, who also received a career-best 16 rebounds from centre Isaiah Hartenstein.
“This game was very, very important for us,” said Harden. “In the first half we gave them too many points, in the second half we locked back in. The guys manned up and got a win.”
Minnesota missed the offence of second leading scorer Andrew Wiggins who sat out his second consecutive game with an undisclosed problem.
Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 27 points with 15 rebounds to pace the Timberwolves, while Jake Layman scored 21.
Robert Covington chipped in 17 points, and rookie Jarrett Culver added 13 points.
Elsewhere, reigning league MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points and 13 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks won the battle between the Central Division’s top two teams by cruising to a 102-83 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Antetokounmpo entered the game shooting just 29 percent from beyond the arc but hit three of his six attempts against the Pacers.
The contest was supposed to showcase Malcolm Brogdon against his former club but the Pacers guard did not dress because of a back problem. Brogdon joined the Pacers in the offseason.
Brook Lopez finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and five blocks for the Bucks, who won their third straight and seventh in their last eight games.
The Pacers, who had won four in a row before losing Friday at Houston, never got closer than seven in the second half.

Forecasting is a statistical technique used to make predictions about future value(s) of a quantity based on past known values. Common applications of forecasting can be found in weather forecasts, sales planning and production planning.
Definitions
In the context of forecasting, the quantity being forecasted is
usually referred to as the observable
, the future
values predicted by the process as the forecast
,
the past data used to generate the forecast as the
observations
(or the sample
), and
an individual observation value as a data point
.
For the rest of this post, we will use the data points
[1125, 1177, 1224, 1264, 1326, 1367, 1409, 1456, 1500, 1570, 1636, 1710, 1440, 1493, 1553, 1611, 1674, 1742, 1798, 1876, 1955, 2033, 2115, 2190, 1955, 2022, 2117, 2216, 2295, 2403, 2498, 2602, 2723, 2837, 2948, 3066]
collected for some arbitrary quantity as an example.
The following image depicts these data points graphically.
Figure 1: Example observations
It is common for forecasting techniques to make predictions corresponding to at least some, if not all of the (past) observed data points (in addition to generating predictions for the future). This allows the forecast to be compared with the (actual) observations to understand forecast accuracy.
A common measure for forecast accuracy is the difference between
a data point and its corresponding prediction, known as the
error
(that is,
error = observation - prediction
).
If a prediction is higher than the data
point (prediction > observation
), the error is
negative, if both are the same
(prediction = observation
),
the error is zero, and if the prediction is lower
than the data point (prediction < observation
),
the error is positive. Given that the error can be negative,
zero or positive, it is more common to use the square of the
error, known as the squared-error
, which is
always zero or positive. This is done to avoid situations where
negative errors cancel out positive errors exactly, thereby
providing a false sense of forecast accuracy.
Forecasts for the same observations, generated using different forecasting techniques can be compared to each other by comparing the squared-errors (or just the errors, although this is usually avoided) for the different forecasts. Lower the squared-error, higher the accuracy of the associated forecasting technique.
Forecasting basics
For most observations, there are three important points of
interest. The first, known as the level
is just
the simple average of all data points. The image below shows
the observations introduced earlier, with their level.
Figure 2: Example observations, with level
The second, known as the trend
indicates whether
the observations increase or decrease on an overall basis
(from the first to the last data point). A visual inspection of
the example observations above shows that they have a
(significant) increasing trend.
The third and last point of interest is the
seasonality
, which is defined as the periodicity
of any patterns embedded within the observations. The example
observations above have a periodicity of 12
, as
there is an upward trend for 12 data points, followed by a
downward trend for 1 data point, followed by a repetition of
the pattern.
Simple Exponential Smoothing
It is generally seen that more the number of data points used to generate a forecast, higher the forecast accuracy. This is because such a forecast would have an "insight" into a larger number of data points, thereby being able to assess the level, trend and seasonality to a greater accuracy. However, it is reasonable to expect that more recent data points should have a higher contribution towards a prediction than older ones, since more recent events are more likely to influence the future.
Exponential smoothing is a class of forecasting techniques that use the weighted average method for generating the forecast. These techniques use progressively decreasing weights for older observations to let more recent data points have higher influence on the forecast, and older ones to have lower influence.
The simplest of these techniques, aptly called
Simple Exponential Smoothing (or
Single Exponential Smoothing) uses a single parameter
to assign "exponentially" lower weights to older data points.
A smooth version
is generated for each data point.
If there are \(\bf n\) observations, denoted by
\(\bf O_1, O_2, ..., O_n\), their smooth versions are calculated
as:
\(S_i = \alpha{O_{i-1}} + (1 - \alpha)S_{i-1}\), or alternatively as
\(S_i = S_{i-1} + \alpha(O_{i-1} - S_{i-1})\)
where, \(\bf i\) ranges from \(\bf 2\) to \(\bf n\), \(\alpha\)
is called the smoothing parameter
, and \(\bf S_i\)
are the smooth versions of the observations \(\bf O_i\). There
is no smooth version \(\bf S_1\) for the first observation
\(\bf O_1\). The value of \(\alpha\) ranges between \(0\) and
\(1\).
a. Effect of the smoothing parameter
When \(\alpha = 0\), \(1 - \alpha = 1\), and the formula for calculating the smooth versions becomes \(S_i = S_{i-1}\), that is, each forecast value is the same and has no dependence on the observations. Consequently, the forecast has no predictive value at all (since each predicted value is the same).
Similarly, when \(\alpha = 1\), \(1 - \alpha = 0\), and the formula becomes \(S_i = O_{i-1}\), that is, each forecast value is the same as the previous observation. Consequently, this too has no preditive value at all.
For these reasons, neither \(0\), nor \(1\) is a good value for \(\alpha\).
The quantity mean squared error (MSE)
is calculated
as the simple average of the squared errors, that is:
\(MSE = \frac{1}{n}[(O_2 - S_2)^2 + (O_3 - S_3)^2 + ... + (O_n - S_n)^2]\)
MSE is a measure of the forecast accuracy. Lower the MSE, more accurate the forecast, and vice versa. Therefore, in real-world scenarios, the value of \(\alpha\) is chosen such that the MSE is minimized.
b. Finding optimal \(\alpha\)
The optimal value of \(\alpha\) can be determined through trial-and-error, beginning with some value for the smoothing parameter between \(0\) and \(1\). The MSE can then be calculated by varying the value of the smoothing parameter by small amounts and comparing it with the previous value to see if it decreases or increases.
The trial-and-error method can be quite time-consuming if the observations fluctuate too much and if the value of \(\alpha\) is required to a high degree of accuracy, say, up to a certain number of decimal places. It is therefore commonplace to use an optimization method to find the optimal value for \(\alpha\). One such method is the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method.
The LM method relies upon finding the Jacobian of a function at every point to determine if the search for the optimal parameter value is progressing in the right direction. The Jacobian for a function \(S\) of \(k\) parameters \(x_k\) is a matrix, where an element \(J_{ik}\) of the matrix is given by \(J_{ik} = \frac{\partial S_i}{\partial x_k}\), \(x_k\) are the \(k\) parameters on which the function \(S\) is dependent, and \(S_i\) are the values of the function \(S\) at \(i\) distinct points.
In the case of simple exponential smoothing, there is only one parameter \(\alpha\) that impacts the predicted value for a given observed value. Therefore, the Jacobian (\(J\)) depends on only this one parameter \(\alpha\) and thereby reduces to \(J_i = \frac{\partial S_i}{\partial \alpha}\), or
\(J = \begin{bmatrix}J_2 & J_3 & ... & J_n \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}\frac{\partial S_2}{\partial \alpha} & \frac{\partial S_3}{\partial \alpha} & ... & \frac{\partial S_n}{\partial \alpha} \end{bmatrix}\)
Given that the function \(S\) is defined for simple exponential smoothing as \(S_i = S_{i-1} + \alpha(O_{i-1} - S_{i-1})\) (see above),
\(J_i = \frac{\partial S_i}{\partial \alpha}\) becomes
\(J_i = \frac{\partial (S_{i-1} + \alpha(O_{i-1} - S_{i-1}))}{\partial \alpha}\), or
(by the associative rule of differentiation)
\(J_i = \frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}
+ \frac{\partial (\alpha(O_{i-1}
- S_{i-1}))}{\partial \alpha}\), or
(by the associative rule of differentiation)
\(J_i = \frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}
+ \frac{\partial (\alpha{O_{i-1}})}{\partial \alpha}
- \frac{\partial (\alpha{S_{i-1}})}{\partial \alpha}\), or
(by the chain rule of differentiation)
\(J_i = \frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}
+ \alpha{\frac{\partial O_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}}
+ O_{i-1}{\frac{\partial \alpha}{\partial \alpha}}
- \alpha{\frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}}
- S_{i-1}{\frac{\partial \alpha}{\partial \alpha}}\), or
(upon simplification)
\(J_i = \frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}
+ O_{i-1}
- \alpha{\frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}}
- S_{i-1}\)
(since \(\frac{\partial O_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha} = 0\), given that
\(O_{i-1}\) does not depend on \(\alpha\)), or
(upon rearrangement of terms)
\(J_i = O_{i-1} - S_{i-1} + (1 - \alpha)\frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha}\), or
using the fact that \(\frac{\partial S_{i-1}}{\partial \alpha} = J_{i-1}\)
\(J_i = O_{i-1} - S_{i-1} + (1 - \alpha)J_{i-1}\)
Since \(S_2 = O_1\), \(J_2 = \frac{\partial S_2}{\partial \alpha} = 0\). This gives an initial value for the Jacobian that can be used to derive the rest using the recursive formula derived above, for any given value of \(\alpha\), that is
\(J_2 = 0\)
\(J_3 = O_2 - S_2 + (1-\alpha)J_2\)
\(J_4 = O_3 - S_3 + (1-\alpha)J_3\)
\(J_5 = O_4 - S_4 + (1-\alpha)J_4\)
... and so on.
The Apache Commons Math library provides an excellent implementation of the LM method, should there be a need to write a software program for finding optimal \(\alpha\) for simple exponential smoothing.
For the example observations above, an optimal \(\alpha\) of
0.5522115480262714
is obtained. Using this value
yields the following forecast:
Figure 3: Example observations, with level and forecast
The following Java code shows how to use the Apache Commons Math library (version 3.6.1 to be precise) to find the optimal value for \(\alpha\) (Java 8 or higher required).

HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1995) Reviewed by Jerry Saravia August 7th, 2001
It has been over twenty years since the original "Halloween" film which spawned several terrible imitators and endless sequels. The Michael Myers character in the first film was shrouded in mystery since we didn't know what his motivation was or why he chose to revisit his hometown of Haddonfield where he killed his sister. Michael was unspeakably evil - an inhuman monster walking at a snail's pace and seemingly indestructible. The John Carpenter original remains a classic, scary, imaginative, low-budget independent film with a great, heroic role by a very young Jamie Lee Curtis. After "Halloween II," however, the series became repetitive and unnecessarily gory - a never-ending spectacle for witnessing the numerous methods Michael employed in killing his latest victims. 1995's "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" is so awful that it defies description and also wants to offer explanations for Michael's behavior - questions better left unanswered.
The opening scene is promising. A young woman carries her baby outside of a dank hospital and drives away in rainy weather. She stops at an empty bus station. A shadow appears and a white mask emerges from the shadow. It's of course Michael with a big, glinting knife! Oh, well, it seemed promising. The woman in this opening sequence is Michael Myers' niece from the last two "Halloween" pictures, but who cares?
Michael goes back to Haddonfield since the Halloween season is around the corner again. A dysfunctional family has the misfortune of living at the former Myers house where Michael killed his sister. Wait a minute. If the house was boarded up and considered haunted by the townsfolk, why would anyone want to renovate it and resell it? Haven't these people heard of Amityville before? The plot thickens. If you are one of two people who has seen "Halloween 5," you'll recall the mysterious character with a black cloak and hat who rescues Michael from prison in the ludicrous finale. That mysterious stranger (no doubt, a homage to the Shadow) is back, and apparently runs the ominous hospital we see at the beginning and, get this (*spoilers ahead*), Michael Myers works for him!
Paul Rudd ("The Cider House Rules") appears as the little kid whom Laurie babysitted in the original film. Now he's all grown-up and looks rather creepy. He claims to know why Michael Myers is indestructible and is aware that Myers' wrath is about to be set off again, thanks to complex charts that revolve around the Druids! Poor Donald Pleasance in, sadly, his last role as Dr. Loomis returns as a man who has retired and is living in isolation. Still, he decides to get rid of Michael one more time thanks to Mr. Rudd. What for? The monster couldn't be killed after five sequels so what makes Loomis think he can kill him now.
"Halloween" The Curse of Michael Myers" exists in two versions, one is a producer's cut that has forty minutes of restored footage, an alternate (and sillier) ending and new music. It is considered the superior version but all I can say is that it is as poorly made, amateurishly acted, unscary and unsuspenseful as the theatrical version. The fact is that this "Curse" should have ended the franchise for good and ever but no. One more sequel with Jamie Lee returning surfaced in 1998 not to mention yet another upcoming sequel with Jamie Lee again! Probably the scariest element of "Curse" is that Donald Pleasance saw it fit to reprise his Dr. Loomis role. A curse, indeed.

Due to a change in data source, we will be making the following changes to the Roadway Construction Moratoriums dataset on Friday, 11/13/2015:

| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
This interface defines a logical serial port connection. A "logical" serial port is defined as a logical connection through which bytes are transferring serially. The logical serial port is defined within the underlying operating system and may not necessarily correspond to a physical RS-232 serial port. For instance, IrDA IRCOMM ports can commonly be configured as a logical serial port within the operating system so that it can act as a "logical" serial port.
A comm port is accessed using a Generic Connection Framework string with an explicit port identifier and embedded configuration parameters, each separated with a semi-colon (;).
Only one application may be connected to a particular serial port at a
given time.
An java.io.IOException
is thrown, if an attempt is
made to open the serial port with Connector.open()
and the connection is already open.
A URI with the type and parameters is used to open the connection.
The scheme (defined in RFC 2396) must be:
comm:<port identifier>[<optional parameters>]
The first parameter must be a port identifier, which is a logical device name. These identifiers are most likely device specific and should be used with care.
The valid identifiers for a particular device and OS can be queried through
the method System.getProperty()
using the key
"microedition.commports". A comma separated list of ports
is returned which can be combined with a comm:
prefix
as the URL string to be used to open a serial port connection.
(See port naming convention below.)
Any additional parameters must be separated by a semi-colon (;) and spaces are not allowed in the string. If a particular optional parameter is not applicable to a particular port, the parameter MAY be ignored. The port identifier MUST NOT contain a semi-colon (;).
Legal parameters are defined by the definition of the parameters below.
Illegal or unrecognized parameters cause an IllegalArgumentException
.
If the value of a parameter is supported by the device,
it must be honored. If the value of a parameter is not supported
a java.io.IOException
is thrown.
If a baudrate
parameter is requested, it is treated
in the same way that the setBaudRate
method
handles baudrates. e.g., if the baudrate requested is not
supported the system MAY substitute a valid baudrate, which
can be discovered using the getBaudRate
method.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
baudrate |
platform dependent |
The speed of the port. |
bitsperchar |
8 |
The number bits per character(7 or 8 ). |
stopbits |
1 |
The number of stop bits per char(1 or 2 ) |
parity |
none |
The parity can be odd , even ,
or none . |
blocking |
on |
If on , the reading on the stream will block until input data is available,
the end of the stream is detected or an exception is thrown. |
autocts |
on |
If on , wait for the CTS line to be on
before writing. |
autorts |
on |
If on , turn on the RTS line when the
input buffer is not full. If off ,
the RTS line is always on. |
[SIEMENS WM ]
The following restrictions apply:
baudrate
: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,
19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800
stopbits
: only 1 supported
parity
: character format 7N1 not supported
The URI must conform to the BNF syntax specified below. If the URI
does not conform to this syntax, an IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.

Access to serial ports is restricted to prevent unauthorized
transmission or reception of data. The security model applied to
the serial port connection is defined in the implementing profile.
The security model may be applied on the invocation of the
Connector.open()
method with a valid serial port connection string.
Should the application
not be granted access to the serial port through the profile
authorization scheme, a
java.lang.SecurityException
will be thrown from the
Connector.open()
method.
The security model MAY also be applied during execution, specifically
when the methods
openInputStream()
, openDataInputStream()
,
openOutputStream()
, and
openDataOutputStream()
are invoked.
The following example shows how a CommConnection
would be used to access a simple loopback program.
CommConnection cc = (CommConnection) Connector.open("comm:com0;baudrate=19200"); int baudrate = cc.getBaudRate(); InputStream is = cc.openInputStream(); OutputStream os = cc.openOutputStream(); int ch = 0; while(ch != 'Z') { os.write(ch); ch = is.read(); ch++; } is.close(); os.close(); cc.close();
The following example shows how a CommConnection
would be used to discover available comm ports.
String port1; String ports = System.getProperty("microedition.commports"); int comma = ports.indexOf(','); if (comma > 0) { // Parse the first port from the available ports list. port1 = ports.substring(0, comma); } else { // Only one serial port available. port1 =ports; }
Logical port names can be defined to match platform naming conventions
using any combination of alphanumeric characters. However, it is
recommended that ports be named consistently among the implementations
of this class according to a proposed convention. VM implementations
should follow the following convention:
Port names contain a text abbreviation indicating port capabilities followed
by a sequential number for the port. The following device name types should
be used:
This naming scheme allows API users to generally determine the type of port that they would like to use. For instance, if a application desires to "beam" a piece of data, the app could look for "IR#" ports for opening the connection. The alternative is a trial and error approach with all available ports.
