This class contains the implementation of the Dogleg algorithm.
It is used by DoglegOptimizer and can be used to easily put together custom versions of Dogleg. Each function is well-documented and unit-tested. The notation here matches that in "trustregion.pdf" in doc, see this file for further explanation of the computations performed by this class.

| struct | IterationResult |
Specifies how the trust region is adapted at each Dogleg iteration.
If this is SEARCH_EACH_ITERATION, then the trust region radius will be increased potentially multiple times during one iteration until increasing it further no longer decreases the error. If this is ONE_STEP_PER_ITERATION, then the step in one iteration will not exceed the current trust region radius, but the radius will be increased for the next iteration if the error decrease is good. The former will generally result in slower iterations, but sometimes larger steps in early iterations. The latter generally results in faster iterations but it may take several iterations before the trust region radius is increased to the optimal value. Generally ONE_STEP_PER_ITERATION should be used, corresponding to most published descriptions of the algorithm.

Compute the point on the line between the steepest descent point and the Newton's method point intersecting the trust region boundary.
Mathematically, computes \( \tau \) such that \( 0<\tau<1 \) and \( \| (1-\tau)\delta x_u + \tau\delta x_n \| = \delta \), where \( \delta \) is the trust region radius.
| delta | Trust region radius |
| x_u | Steepest descent minimizer |
| x_n | Newton's method minimizer |
|

Compute the dogleg point given a trust region radius \( \delta \).
The dogleg point is the intersection between the dogleg path and the trust region boundary, see doc/trustregion.pdf for more details.
The update is computed using a quadratic approximation \( M(\delta x) \) of an original nonlinear error function (a NonlinearFactorGraph) \( f(x) \). The quadratic approximation is represented as a GaussianBayesNet \( \bayesNet \), which is obtained by eliminating a GaussianFactorGraph resulting from linearizing the nonlinear factor graph \( f(x) \). Thus, \( M(\delta x) \) is
\[ M(\delta x) = (R \delta x - d)^T (R \delta x - d) \]
where \( R \) and \( d \) together are a Bayes' net. \( R \) is upper-triangular and \( d \) is a vector, in GTSAM represented as a GaussianBayesNet, containing GaussianConditional s.

Switch Evaluation¶
The test_switch_pressed
test will pass if the USR
button is being
pressed, and fail otherwise.
This example introduces the use of a container class (Switch
) for the
pyboard’s USR
switch to make test code more readable.
Bench Setup¶
The only requirement for this test is a pyboard connected via USB.
The USR
switch on the pyboard is used for evaluation. The value of the
switch is made accessible via the Switch
class:
class Switch(object):
def __init__(self, device):
self.device = device
@property
def value(self):
return self.device.get_switch()()['value']
An instance of Switch
is then created in the BenchTest
’s
overridden setUpClass()
method,
referencing the pyb_a
pyboard as the relevant device
:
@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
cls.pyb_a = upytester.project.get_device('pyb_a')
cls.switch = Switch(device=cls.pyb_a)
Test Case¶
Setting up the BenchTest
like this alows the test-code to be very
short and unambiguous:
class SwitchTest(BenchTest):
def test_switch_pressed(self):
"""
Turn red LED on for 500ms asynchronously
"""
self.assertTrue(self.switch.value)

vignettes/articles/cell_type_labeling.Rmd
cell_type_labeling.Rmd
The methods for labeling the cell type for single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) data varies a lot. Including using a labeled reference dataset as the training set and classifying the test data by cluster or individual cells, or using a prior knowledge of the projection between marker gene sets and specific cell types and labeling the cells basing on detected markers. Currently, SCTK only supports using SingleR
[1] for cell type labeling, which works with the first approach as previously mentioned. We are planning to add more methods that annotate cells in various ways.
SingleR
is an automatic annotation method for scRNAseq data. Given a reference dataset of samples (single-cell or bulk) with known labels, it labels new cells from a test dataset based on similarity to the reference. The only prerequisite for using this method is a labeled reference dataset, and we have already enabled automated caching of online datasets, while users can always use their own data in the console analysis.
To view detailed instructions on how to use this method, please select ‘Interactive Analysis’ for using SingleR
in shiny application or ‘Console Analysis’ for using this method on R console from the tabs below:
Entry
Users should enter the page as instructed in the screenshot above, by clicking on “Differential Expression & Cell Type Labeling” first and choosing “Cell Type Labeling” sub-option next.
Usage
There are 6 basic widgets that users need to work with before reaching to the result:
The result will not be pop out directly, but three levels of cell annotation will be inserted to the background object. They will all have the same prefix as "SingleR_{reference abbr}_{annotation level}_"
, then "score"
, "labels"
, "delta.next"
and "pruned.labels"
, respectively. "labels"
contains the predicted label, basing only on the maximum entry in scores. "delta.next"
contains difference between the best and next-best score. "pruned.labels"
contains predictions where “low-quality” labels are replaced with NA
s.
With older versions of SingleR, the output variables ends with
"score"
,"first.labels"
,"labels"
and"pruned.labels"
, respectively."first.labels"
refers to the labeling initially indicated by the scores,"labels"
is fine-tuned, and"pruned.labels"
is the pruned result.
Visualization
SCTK does not have a quick visualization at this point. But users can go to the CellViewer tab to create a scatter plot using the pre-generated embedding and color it with the cell type labeling result.
Preprocessing
As mentioned previously in this article, performing cell type labeling with SingleR does not require sophisticated preprocessing, but only a reference dataset that covers the expected cell types. Now that we have already incorporated many curated online dataset that SingleR recommends, users only need to log-normalize the feature expression matrix to match what is in the reference.
Here, we use “PBMC3k” dataset provided by CellRanger as an example.
library(singleCellTK)
sce <- importExampleData("pbmc3k")
sce <- runNormalization(inSCE = sce, normalizationMethod = "logNormCounts", outAssayName = "logcounts", useAssay = "counts")
Running SingleR
Then users can use runSingleR()
to invoke the algorithm. Here we choose to use useBltinRef = "hpca"
to set the reference, which refers to Human Primary Cell Atlas Data [2] and this will be automatically cached to users’ local. We set level = "main"
to label the PBMC3k dataset with general cell types. Users can also set it to "fine"
for more subtypes, and "ont"
for Gene Ontology information. For more information, please click on the function name and see the reference page of this function.
sce <- runSingleR(inSCE = sce, useAssay = "logcounts", useBltinRef = "hpca", level = "main", featureType = "symbol")
Four results from SingleR will be stored in colData()
slot with the same prefix as "SingleR_{reference abbr}_{annotation level}_"
, then "score"
, "labels"
, "delta.next"
and "pruned.labels"
, respectively. "labels"
contains the predicted label, basing only on the maximum entry in scores. "delta.next"
contains difference between the best and next-best score. "pruned.labels"
contains predictions where “low-quality” labels are replaced with NA
s.
With older versions of SingleR, the output variables ends with
"score"
,"first.labels"
,"labels"
and"pruned.labels"
, respectively."first.labels"
refers to the labeling initially indicated by the scores,"labels"
is fine-tuned, and"pruned.labels"
is the pruned result.
Besides, users can also use their own labeled reference datasets wrapped in a SingleCellExperiment object. Refer to argument useSCERef
and labelColName
. Additionally, the labeling can also be done on cluster label if users have already performed clustering on their dataset and have the result stored in colData()
slot. Refer to argument labelByCluster
.
Visualization
Users can choose to visualize the labeling result on a scatter plot. Here, we provide an example to create a UMAP embedding that can clearly reflect the relationship between cells in 2D, and then color the cells by the labels.
sce <- runSeuratFindHVG(inSCE = sce, useAssay = "counts", method = "vst")
sce <- setTopHVG(inSCE = sce, method = "vst", hvgNumber = 2000)
sce <- runDimReduce(inSCE = sce, method = "scaterPCA", useAssay = "logcounts", useFeatureSubset = "HVG_vst2000", reducedDimName = "PCA")
sce <- runDimReduce(inSCE = sce, method = "scaterUMAP", useReducedDim = "PCA", reducedDimName = "UMAP")
plotSCEDimReduceColData(inSCE = sce, colorBy = "SingleR_hpca_main_pruned.labels", reducedDimName = "UMAP")

Summary of Methylone
Male, 43, 170 lbs Feb 2008
I had no previous experience with Methylone, but after a lot of reading, decided to try it.
Trials happen in successive days, so tolerance may have built up. All taken orally.
TRIAL 1 - 165 mg, eggs and bacon at 11am.
3:30 (T:00) Full dose in juice.
T: 30 Subtle change in perception, very clear thinking, relaxed, calm, and introspective.
Begin typing introspective paragraphs about my life. Physical: slight uneasiness and tightness in the stomach, but nothing much. Some slight ear ringing, or just increased sensitivity to hearing. Emotional state: A lightness of spirit, something I remember from childhood. It isn't a euphoria, but a feeling of contentment.
T: 45 Physical: Stomach still ok, some stimulant feeling, slightly dry mouth, slight dilation of pupils. Emotional: Free flow of thoughts. Can easily type a page of thoughts, but it feels analytical and cerebral, like looking at my life, but without the shame and defensiveness, which makes introspection very helpful.
T: 1:00 Physically the same, mind very alert. Wondering if this is it, or if there is more. I think I was waiting for euphoria, is this is still just content. Should I bump another 50mg?
T: 1:30 After some contemplation about dosages, I bump another 50mg, and type another introspective paragraph about my life. Feel the headspace is extremely calming and natural to navigate.
T: 1:45 Surprised that I don't feel the bump. Do another 50mg? Feel as if I could write a novel.
T: 2:00 Bump 50 mg again, and surprised that I still can't feel the 50 mg from before.
T: 2:30 Almost at baseline.
Conclusion: Taste is very bad, but is masked with juice. For me, the effect lasts about 2 hours at this dose, and bumps had no effect. I feel like I have just allowed a lot of thought to flow onto paper with a lot of insight. Surprised that the euphoria is more like a state of being content.
TRIAL 2 - 200mg in the morning with juice, no breakfast
T:05 Already notice something happening, such as increased hearing. I am aware of how loud the silence is.
T:0:30 Visually, things look much clearer and warmer. There is a slight tingle in the body, slight lightheadedness, but nothing that distracts thinking. Thoughts begin to speed up and flow freely. Emotionally, I examine self-criticisms, and feel empathy for myself. Defenses are dropped, and I question why I have defenses in the first place. Time begins to elongate. I type a page, and notice that only 5 or 10 minutes has passed.
T: 0:45 Surprised by the calmness of the trip. Body feels very relaxed, like Opium. I see things in what I have decided to call Yellow Vision, because of the tint and warmth.
T: 1:00 Wondering if this is the peak because of it's subtlety. I have a general thankfulness to be alive, thinking about how amazing the body is, who am I and where does that separate from my body, etc.
T 1:25 Decide to bump 100mg since 200mg was so easy on me. Try to meditate, because it does lend itself to that state, but after a few minutes, I want to talk, reflect, etc.
T:1:30 Time is really elongated. I think, 'When is the bump going to kick in?' and realize that it has only been 5 minutes, when it seems like it has been 20-30 minutes.
T: 1:35 Time no seems to have stopped. My thoughts turn to important issues going on in my life, and my partner's life, and the best way to help my partner deal with his difficulties. I'm listening to electronic music, a nice choice.
T: 1:45 Continued time dilation, full eye dilation. Occassional nystagmus, but because of the calm and content feeling, I just go with it. Depth perception goes in an out of focus, and I wonder if there are some kind of visuals at higher doses.
T: 2:00 Oh, bump???? Here, bump! Don't seem to notice it at all, but still calm, happy, and writing a lot.
T: 3:00 Have returned to base, but had problems doing the math of the T:. If I took it at 8:30, and it's 9:45 now...uh... with slow, gentle decline.
Conclusions: Seems like I am building tolerance. My light dose is probably 200mg, and there is a tendency to want to re-dose because I want to stay there, but bumping doesn't seem to help or extend much for me. The revelations seem to fade with the feeling, so it is good to write or type them out. I can easily sit down and type nonstop, thoughts going off on tangents, and the revelations insightful (why do I have X defence? What am I afraid of?) as opposed to marijuana revelations (what would it be like if cows were wild? You could just hunt them with a hammer, because they would just stand there.) Want to explore a higher dose.
TRIAL 3 - 243mg Feeling content already.
T:30 Recognize the body buzz, thoughts beginning to flow. More empathetic today - thinking of others rather than just myself.
T: 45 Feeling like time is slowing, and my thoughts are going faster. I love this, because it's like therapy, and I feel like I am working through things quickly, or rather, working through things at what feels like normal speed, but time seems to have slowed, rather than me speeding up. There is no feeling of speeding, but a very calm, flowing feeling.
Pensive, reflective thoughts. Methylone presented in Yellow Vision with improved hearing appears. Very calm and open. I'm thinking very seriously - my own mortality, imagining what it will be like to lose a parent, etc. It is easy to confront my fears, because they are viewed without emotion.
1:15 Not euphoria, but very, very content, like everything is going to be ok, or is ok now. Could easily function in this headspace. Some problems spelling, but nothing major.
T: 2:00 I notice soreness on the tip of my tongue which I believe was caused by 2C-I the day before. There is some mild jaw clenching and tongue sucking. Feeling very creative, and imaging choreography to music.
2:15 Believe that I am returning to base. Think that bumping with 100mg to extend for such a short time, if it works at all, is a waste of material, but understand why people do. I am amazed that I have been typing so much, and thinking about so much.
Conclusion: That dosage was very calming, and elevated my mood. I was able to think very clearly, and think even more deeply. I am always wondering if I am almost at the point of seeing something visual, but it never happens. My creativity was heightened, and while I felt very good, someone with an addictive personality would keep chasing that feeling, I think, and often without any results. Later, T4+, I would occasionally notice that my vision in my left eye wouldn't focus on small print. I think this may have been due to the pupil dilation.
TRIAL 4 - Since I am comfortable with my dosage and the experience is very gentle, I decide to dive in to 300mg.
T:15 Already recognize a warmth to the body, and opening of the soul. Warmth of colors. Have come to see this as a tool, instead of a toy, and think it shouldn't be used as a 'party drug', but rather used with some reverence. Feeling more empathic.
T:25 Physical more pronounced, almost opium-like in its calmness. Some mental problems (spelling), but mind very clear, and free flow of thoughts. Working through a time when I was mugged and had my head split open, and how I felt. From this place, it's very easy to examine it cerebrally and with compassion for myself, rather than feel it emotionally, like it is happening now.
T:30 Physical changes continues, slight tight stomach, Yellow Vision. I feel that when I turn my head, it's almost like tracers, but not quite.
T: 45 Full pupil dilation, some depth problems focusing on the text, things look very clear and liquidy, kind of like when you see the world through tears. Very calm still, very lucid, and free thoughts and insights come easily. Surprised at the ease at 300 mg, and still curious about higher doses.
T1:15 Feeling like the start of a come down, so I prepare 100mg to bump, because I'm not ready.
T 1:30 I bump 100mg orally.
T 2:00 Can notice a slight return of Yellow Vision, and contentness, but seems more like a very slight increase, and then a elongated come down, as opposed to going back to peak.
T: 2:30, decide to bump another 100mg, but continue into a slow decline. It feels like just before the calmness begins, but with only the physical and none of the emotional.
T: 4:00 Comedown extended with physical sensations, but none of the emotional, which stopped after about 2 hours. Slept very lightly, and kept waking up. The next day, I was slightly down.
Conclusion: Bumping seems to be a waste for me. I don't return to the peak, and if anything, it simply drags out the comedown. There also seems to be a cumulative effect from the bumps physically as well, making it difficult to sleep hours later.
General Conclusions: There is some potential with Methylone, but there are some drawbacks.
Pros:
It makes me feel content
It makes me calm
I can examine emotions cerebrally, almost like therapy
If I do not bump, I go up gently, and come down gently.
It is easy to navigate
There is a light body load
Because of the calmness, the nystagmus isn't unsettling.
The nystagmus is short and sporatic
Cons: There is a constriction in the body, so I feel pressure when trying to urinate. If I bump and miss the T:30 mark, it seems to do nothing. When it does do something post 1:00, it's all physical, and that's not the good part of the trip. I feel almost like I am waiting for the physical part to end with bumps.
By the time I had found my moderate dose, I only had 250g left. I was still curious about 350g or even 400g, which I'm guessing will be a max for me, but at the price, it's an expensive experiment, especially when I keep wondering, 'Is this the peak? Is this it? Is there more?' It also has the tendency to make me want to do just a little bit more, and has potential for addiction without any real benefits of increased use or even bumps.

If you've used jQuery, you've probably used a deferred object. It's what jQuery returns from all it's ajax functions. Did you know that you can also create deferred wrappers around your own code.
All you have to do is create a new Deferred object, perform your asyncronous code within it, and call resolve when you are finished. You should also return a promise from the deferred object which your calling code can use to synchronise with. (The promise object is just a subset of deferred that prevents external code from mucking with the status of your deferred object)
function doSomethingDeferred() { return new $.Deferred(function (deferred) { // Do something async. . . . // If anything goes wrong, call reject. deferred.reject(errorData); // When finished, call resolve. deferred.resolve(data); }).promise(); // Return a promise to complete the deferred. }
You might be thinking why would you want to do this. Well the main reason is that you can make use jQuery's $.when() function. The when function takes multiple deferreds (or promises), and wraps them all in a single promise. This means you can combine your deferreds with jQueries inbuilt functions that return promises such as animations or ajax requests.
$.when( doSomethingDeferred(), doSomethingElseDeferred(), doAnotherDeferred() ).done(function(somethingResult, somethingElseResult, anotherResult) { // All deferreds are complete. } ).fail(function () { // One of the deferred calls failed. })

Hello. I am new to frontend design and I'm very excited to learn how to build websites. This is my first full week at Epicodus, and you can see some of my work below. I have a professional background in User Experience Design and Research, and I have worked with many teams and companies to help build web experiences. Here is my company website.
Before UX, I studied Fine Arts and Logic at university.
My background experiences and interests have led me here and I am lucky to have the opportunity to learn how to code.
Here are a few examples of my first explorations with different langauges and for frameworks at Epicodus.
This is a website with placeholder text and images. The purpose was to explore the offerings Bootstrap. Top Navigation created!
Another example of our initial explorations with using the div tag. We began to create more complex experiences, and attempted to create a top navigation.
Here we come more comfortable with CSS and begin to incorporate more external and internal site links.
Continuing to explore CSS with this project. The class started to use divs and classes.
With this project, the class began to explore CSS. We created a css file and linked it successfully to our HTML.
The purpose of creating this website was to explore simple HTML. It was the first page that I made at Epicodus.


In this task, you will rate the quality of word analogies, such as "kitten is to cat as chick is to chicken" (abbreviated as kitten : cat :: chick : chicken). This is an example of a good analogy because the relationship between the first two words (a kitten is a young cat) is similar to the relationship between the last two words (a chick is a young chicken).
Here is another example:
chick : chicken :: hen : rooster
This is an example of a bad analogy because the relationship between the first two words (a chick is a young chicken) is not similar to the relationship between the last two words (a hen is a female chicken and a rooster is a male chicken).
Please rate the quality of each analogy shown on the following pages on a scale from 1 (very bad) to 7 (very good). Please take your time and make your ratings carefully. Note that the order of words within each pair matters (so kitten : cat is not the same as cat : kitten).

Performance
There are a few ways to measure performance of a streaming framework, with different metrics useful to different use cases.
For use cases involving small but time-sensitive events that needed to be communicated across devices, the raw latency of the system is important. On the other hand, for use cases in which there is a large volume of data being produced on a regular basis (e.g. from a data acquisition device), then a more relevant metric may be the throughput at which reading/writing to the stream no longer keeps up with the production of data.
For the below tests, we streamed samples across a network with simultaneous readers and writers to simulate various real-world scenarios. The size, volume, and number of simultaneous readers were varied.
Latency
To test latency, we streamed events in the form of a single sample every 1ms (i.e. at 1 kHz) and measured the time between immediately before the sample was written to the time immediately after the corresponding sample was read from the stream. When there was more than 1 reader, the maximum latency across all latencies for each sample was taken.
95th percentile latencies for events were well under a millisecond, even with a larger number of readers (16) and larger sample sizes (128 bytes). Note that Redis 5 was used in these tests; Redis 6.0+ introduced multi-threaded I/O and could lead to increased performance, especially when handling concurrent reads.
Throughput
To test throughput, we considered a stream of data to be written then read of some fixed generating sampling rate. In particular, we considered a stream generated at 32 kHz, with each sample being 768 bytes (i.e. fairly large but believable for the neuroscience community). This equates to a throughput of 23.4 MB/s.
We then can write/read this data in various batch sizes, i.e. chunks of data at a time. Due to non-trivial overhead from network calls and Redis protocol, for very small batch sizes there will be non-negligible overhead for each write/read and thus could lead to writing outpacing reading of the stream. Larger batch sizes should handle higher-throughput data streams, with a tradeoff in latency.
The below shows the results of the 95th percentile latencies for simultaneous writing and reading of this 23.4 MB/s data stream. The black dotted line indicates the (putative) threshold at which the writing of the stream may begin to outpace the reading, i.e. when the latency of the reader is larger than the period at which the batches are written.
The takeaway is that for batch sizes of 64 samples and above, equating to at least a 2ms buffer for this 32 kHz stream, our reading can keep up with the production of the data.
Max throughput
The above tests for throughput test a realistic case of having simultaneous readers and writers. However, another useful performance test could be a test of the maximum write and read throughput with no other activity within River ongoing. To test this, we fixed the amount of samples and data to be written, and measured total time to write and then read that data in its entirety. Again, batch size – i.e., the number of samples written at a time – will affect performance, and so batch size was varied.
Read and write throughputs exceeeded 30 MB/s when appropriate batch sizes were used. It is highly likely the performance-limiting factors are network speeds and memory bandwidth speeds, not necessarily CPU.
Implementation details
The above tests were run with Redis server version 5.0.6 running on Ubuntu 18.04, on a Dell Precision 5820 Tower running an Intel Xeon W-2135 CPU @ 3.70GHz. The reading/writing was run on a separate computer on the same local network running an Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500. Both used the built-in 1-Gigabit network cards, and were networked via the MikroTik hEX S Gigabit Ethernet Router (RB760iGS). Python code for testing performance can be found in performance/performance.py.

What is this all about?
Well.. the statistical analysis of baked beans is a personal project to identify the best baked beans on the planet, the crème de la crème of beans.
Why?
Why not. There are so many brands of beans from Heinz to ASDA value what is the difference apart from the price?
Comparison points
To allow us to record beans and data about them we have make a list of comparison points that we will use when analysing a tin. From the amount of beans in the tin to the price, not forgetting the bean juice viscosity! We believe this will allow us to determine the best beans without being bias towards name brands.
- Brand - Brand/Company that manufactures the Product. (Text)
- Shop - Place Tin was Purchased from. (Text)
- Price At Purchase - Purchase Price, allows tracking of trends in price change. (Price)
- Weight Of Full Can - When still sealed and in the tin. (Weight In Grams)
- Weight Of Empty Can - When empty and after washing. (Weight In Grams)
- Weight Of Beans (Washed) - After washing. (Weight In Grams)
- Weight Of Liquid - Determined using 'Full Can'-'Beans'-'Empty Tin'='Liquid' (Weight In Grams)
- Percentage Of Beans To Liquid - Determined using weight of beans and liquid. (Percentage)
- Bean Count - The Count of beans within a tin. (Numerical Count)
- Taste Rating - This needs more research. (Undecided)
- Ingredients Listed - List of Ingredients as show on tin. (Text)
- Sauce Viscosity - This needs more research. (Undecided)
- Pull Ring Tin? - Does the tin have a ring pull or not? (Yes/No)
- Length Of Best Before Date - Days left on best before on date of purchase. (In Days)
- Average individual bean weight - Weight of total washed beans divided by the amount of beans. (Weight In Grams)
- PH Level - The PH Level of the sauce and yes we bought a PH meter just for this. (PH Level)
- Height Of Can - Well... we measure the height of the can. (Centimeters)
- Diameter Of Can - Is this a joke? Its just the can diameter at the widest point in CM. (Centimeters)
- Can Volume - This is more interesting... Some math with the width and height. (Centimeters Cubed)
- Pictures Of The Tin & Contents - Pictures of tin, Ingredients and Contents. (Images)
Can I help?
Sure! You can go get my email address form the Contact page and drop me a line. All help is appreciated weather you spot a spelling errorr or want to submit some data just let us know.

Jeep Box
One of the problems with Jeep Wrangler ownership is there’s nowhere to store things out of sight. Your backpack, laptop, whatever, it’s all hangin’ out there in the open. Even when you’ve zipped the top up, there’s nothing between your valuables and a set of sticky fingers besides a thin sheet of clear vinyl.
I wanted to feel better about leaving things in the Jeep, and I wanted to design something sturdy so that I could still carry heavy things in the back of the Jeep. I also wanted to cut down on the general clutter in my cargo area, and I wanted to practice welding.
I imagined something like this:
So I started with some rough measurements.
That’s a top view and rear view of the back of the Jeep. I had 34.5” between the brackets where the rear seat would have mounted if I had one, 35” of length to work with, and 15.5” between the bottom of the opening and the bottom of the rear window.
So, to summarize, what I wanted was a drawer and a frame to hold that drawer that fit in the above-defined envelope. The frame would have to be reasonably sturdy, because I’d like to put things on top of it too. I’m the kind of person who thinks really well in design tools, so I fired up Autodesk and got to work.
This was the first pass, and some measurements. I ran it by some Internet folks, and they suggested diagonal bracing.
My plan was to attach a sheet of plywood to the top using T-nuts and cap screws, and to put roller bearings on the horizontal bars running along the sides to act as drawer slides. The T-nuts and cap screws were entirely reasonably priced through McMaster-Carr, but the roller bearings were about $5 ea. I found equivalent skate bearings on Amazon for about $1 ea.
Using the CAD drawings, I figured out what pieces I’d need.
I did some math, and figured I could fit that into 19 pieces of 37” x ½” square stock (N.B. I was wrong, and probably should have ordered 20 or 21 pieces). From Metals Supermarket, that was just over $50.
I got to welding.
Then I realized, I’d have to mount this in the Jeep! I’d figured I’d use the rear seat belt mounting bolt, but I forgot to locate that with my previous measurements. I rectified that.
I bought a sheet of flat steel stock, milled in a hole for the seat belt bolt, and welded that into place. A test-fit revealed that I’d milled the hole in the wrong place, so I had to fix that, first with the angle grinder, then with a plasma cutter.
Finally, it went to paint! I wanted to powder coat it, but I got a $150 quote for powder coating.  I used a can and a half of Rustoleum black enamel instead.
While that was curing, I designed the wooden top and drawer.
I decided to make it all out of ½” plywood, cut from ½ sheets of plywood (because half sheets are easier to move than full sheets). The drawer, I figured I’d just use brads and glue to hold it together. If it fell apart, I could always re-do it.
Because the wooden pieces were just rectangles, I let the robots take care of cutting them out.
The next night, I loaded up all the pieces and started attaching them together.
The skate bearings I bought had an inner diameter that was just a little bigger than the screws I used, so I turned the screws into cones on the lathe to locate the bearings better (not pictured, but I wish I had).
Everything in the Jeep so far:
It’s been about a month since I finished all that, and I have the drawer together and installed; I just haven’t taken pictures of it yet. It served us well on our trip to Georgia — our valuables went into the drawer, and my wife’s big suitcase got strapped to the top.

Dear Users,
due to an unscheduled powr cut to the infrastructure of our Cloud Provider, Laniakea is currently not available. We are working hard to fix the problem, with our INFN collegues. Thanks a lot for your understanding.
The Laniakea team.


Rules:
2048 is played on a gray 4×4 grid, with numbered tiles that slide smoothly when a player moves them using the four arrow keys.Every turn, a new tile will randomly appear in an empty spot on the board with a value of either 2 or 4.Tiles slide as far as possible in the chosen direction until they are stopped by either another tile or the edge of the grid. If two tiles of the same number collide while moving, they will merge into a tile with the total value of the two tiles that collided.The resulting tile cannot merge with another tile again in the same move.
History:
2048 is a single-player puzzle game created in March 2014 by 19-year-old Italian web developer Gabriele Cirulli, in which the objective is to slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and create a tile with the number 2048.It is a type of sliding block puzzle, and is very similar to the Threes! app released a month earlier.Cirulli created the game in a single weekend as a test to see if he could program a game from scratch, describing it as a clone of Veewo Studios' app 1024 and getting the idea from Sami "Saming" Romdhana's clone 2048, and was surprised when his game received over 4 million visitors in less than a week, especially since it was just a weekend project."It was a way to pass the time", he said. The game is free to play, Cirulli having said that he was unwilling to make money from "something that [he] didn’t invent". He released a free app version of the game for iOS and Android in May 2014.


Data set used for machine learning dataset was:
Kaggle Mushroom Dataset: UCI Machine Learning
This is a application to predict the edibility of a mushroom by a number of features
Notably, in this version the features used are bruising, odor, and gill-size.
This application uses a feature selected random forest classifier to classify the features.
an image classification application is in the works, feel free to post a photo to help in training!
This application has the following endpoints:


I'm experimenting with upgrading to MySQL 5.6 and am experiencing an unexplained increase in disk I/O utilization. After discussing this with several people I'm publishing in the hope that someone has an enlightenment on this.
We have a few dozens servers in a normal replication topology. On this particular replication topology we've already evaluated that STATEMENT based replication is faster than ROW based replication, and so we use SBR. We have two different workloads on our slaves, applied by two different HAProxy groups, on three different data centres. Hardware-wise, servers of two groups use either Virident SSD cards or normal SAS spindle disks.
Our servers are I/O bound. A common query used by both workloads looks up data that does not necessarily have a hotspot, and is very large in volume. DML is low, and we only have a few hundred statements per second executed on master (and propagated through replication).
We have upgraded 6 servers from all datacenters to 5.6, both on SSD and spindle disks, and are experiencing the following phenomena:
- A substantial increase in disk I/O utilization. See a 10 day breakdown (upgrade is visible on 04/14) this goes on like this many days later:
- A substantial increase in InnoDB buffer pool pages flush: Mr. Blue is our newly upgraded server; it joins Mr. Green upgraded a couple weeks ago. Mr. Red is still 5.5. This is the only MySQL graph that I could directly relate to the increase in I/O:
- No change in workload (it takes some 60 minutes for caches to warm up, so measuring after that time). Same equal share of serving as dictated by HAProxy. Same amount of queries. Same amount of everything.
- Faster replication speed, on single thread - that's the good part! We see 30% and more improvement in replication speed. Tested by stopping SLAVE SQL_THREAD for a number of pre-defined minutes, then measuring time it took for slave to catch up, up to 10 seconds lag. The results vary depending on the time of day and serving workload on slaves, but it is consistently far faster with 5.6.
The faster replication speed motivates us to continue with the experiment, and is of a significant factor in our decision. However we are concerned about the I/O utilization and excessive flushing.
The above graphs depict the 5.6 status without any configuration changes as compared to 5.5. I took some days to reconfigure the following variables, with no change to the rate of flushed pages (though some changes visible in double-wite buffer writes):
- innodb_log_file_size=128M/2G
- innodb_adaptive_flushing:=0/1
- innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm:=0/70
- innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct := 75/90
- innodb_flush_neighbors:=0/1
- innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm:=75/90
- innodb_old_blocks_time:=0/1000
- innodb_io_capacity:=50/100/200
- innodb_io_capacity_max:=50/100/1000
- relay_log_info_repository:='table'/'file'
- master_info_repository:='table'/'file'
- default_tmp_storage_engine:='myisam'/'innodb'
- eq_range_index_dive_limit:=0/10
And more... Have done patient one-by-one or combinations of the above where it made sense. As you see I began with the usual suspects and moved on to more esoteric stuff. I concentrated on new variables introduced in 5.6, or ones where the defaults have changed, or ones we have explicitly changed the defaults from.
The above is consistent on all upgraded servers. On SSD the disk utilization is lower, but still concerning.
Our use case is very different from the one presented by Yoshinori Matsunobu. and apparently not too many have experienced upgrading to 5.6. I'm hoping someone might shed some light.

Welcome to the Sahel+ Group! Here you will find information and updates on our group, activities and members.
We are a group of ten National Societies coordinating on matters of mutual interest.
Our network comprises the National Societies of Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Chad, the Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal, as well as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as observer members.
We come together every year for the Sahel+ group’s General Assembly in order to elect a new leadership, except for the post of Secretary, which is permanently devolved to the Presidency of the Senegalese Red Cross.
We have also elected a Youth Representative to make the voices of our youth colleagues and volunteers heard at the Red Cross and Red Crescent Pan African Conference and IFRC General Assembly Youth Forums.
Throughout the years, the Sahel+ group has established several initiatives on key issues of interest for the RC/RC Movement such as a Food security platform in 2016 and a Sahel+ Migration network in 2017, and it has acted as a key vehicle for discussing IFRC and ICRC led initiatives and joint programming in the region and for our members.
The 2019 Sahel+ General Assembly established a Resilience Platform, with 3 technical groups working on migration, food security and livelihoods, and shelter.
The Resilience Platform encompasses all 10 Sahel+ members, plus representatives from IFRC, ICRC, and interested Partner National Societies, as well as 3 RC/RC Movement’s reference centres: the Livelihoods Centre , the Climate Centre, and the Centre for Cooperation with Africa.
The Platform’s objective is to promote coordination, partnership and cooperation within the RC/RC Movement in the Sahel, as well as with external stakeholders.
The Migration Technical Group brings together migration focal points of the Sahel+ Resilience Platform members.Its mission is to offer a framework for reflexion, research, sharing of experiences, skills, information and lessons learnt, and cooperation on migration issues, between Sahel+ members, and RC/RC Movement actors.
The Food Security and Livelihoods Technical Group brings together Livelihoods focal points of the Sahel+ Resilience Platform members.It constitutes a space where members can formulate proposals, share experiences and lessons learnt in the field of food security and livelihoods.


Vision Release 6.1.2 Notes
Topics Covered:
Release 6.1.2 incorporates several new primitives introduced in Release 6.1.1, our recommended changes for supporting the euro currency, and other miscellaneous changes.
As part of this release new vision executables have been created that will need to be installed. Several Vision scripts have also been included, providing optional new and modified messages for your installation:
| CHcore.6.1.2 | Incorporates new primitives
|
| CHdbs.6.1.2 | Miscellaneous changes to bulk database driver
|
| DataRecordOSpace.6.1.2 | New ObjectSpace for PMA
|
For the download and installation instructions, click either Release 6.1.2 Upgrade for NT or Release 6.1.2 Upgrade for Unix.
The message primaryStringCluster has been added to the Schema
ClassDescriptor class to provide a default location that manages
the string values associated with the properties of a class.
ClassDescriptor instance creation has been modified to create a
new string cluster when the new subclass is created. There is a section in the CHcore.6.1.2
script that generates a string cluster for all existing classes.
The string clusters provide an efficient way to store properties that
contain string values. In addition, string clusters only maintain a
single copy of the string, eliminating the storage overhead involved
with storing duplicate values and providing a way of "uniquifying"
the object returned. The message getClusteredString: at Object
looks up the supplied parameter in the recipient's primary string
cluster and adds it if not present.
A number of core messages including newAs: and initializeKeys:
at Object and setNameTo: at Entity have been modified to use
the class' string cluster. These changes are included in the script CHcore.6.1.2.
The specialized method at Object has been modified to eliminate the
check for "not owned" classes, since core classes can now be located
in object spaces other than 3. Methods that create new stores have been modified
to take advantage of the explicit method that establishes store
location. These changes are included in CHcore.6.1.2.
The recommended patches for managing the euro currency have been
incorporated and include:
- all suggested code in our web document
- enabled fixed euro rate by default
- pre-created EUR and LEGACY currencies
- pre-created 11 EMU currencies and assigned their fixed rates
- Miscellaneous changes to the bulk database driver processing for
DataSet reconciles have been consolidated into the scripts CHdbs.6.1.2.
The script CHcore.6.1.2 includes:
Changes to Core
- Added the classes DataType, DataSeries, and Frequency.
- Added asDateFromYYMMDD method which is useful for interpreting
six digit dates that have leading 0s.
- Added the Collection messages from: and to:.
- Added validateAsExpressionIn: message at String to confirm
that a string sent to an object should not generate any "selector
not found"s.
- Modified initialize method at Entity to only initialize
name, shortName, and sortCode if value is NA; this allows
these fields to be passed in as part of createInstance:.
- Modified the deleteAlias: message at Entity to create the
new list of aliases in the same cluster as the other lists.
- Modified sortUp: and sortDown: at Collection to reference
^self instead of ^current for its temporary structure creation
which will allow for more efficient cleanup.
- Modified median: and average:withWeights: at Collection to
test on values being numeric before doing calculations (eliminate
"selector not found"s).
- Modified getClassificationFor: method at RangeClassification to
work correctly when ranges are missing.
- Added getInternalSelector method to Schema MID to access correct
case-sensitive value for code. Modified createIncorporatorSubclass:
to use this selector.
- Modified object space profile reports in AdminTools and fixed
a minor bug in profileVector: message. Changed the name onprof
to objectSpaceProfile in AdminTools.
Changes to Feed Processing/ Process Control Tools/ Interface Tools
- Modified DataRecord subclass creation to locate new class in
the default DataRecord object space (object space 7).
- Modified MasterFeed and EntityExtenderFeed to assign clustered
strings where appropriate.
- Added dateFormat as a configuration file option. Valid values are: MMYYYY, MMYY, MMDDYY, MMDDYYYY, which indicate the format for the digits supplied in the field.
- Added runWrapup step to ExchangeRateFeed that will automatically update
legacy currencies when EUR rates are provided.
- Modified AliasFeed processing to add all supplied aliases. Prior
versions only added aliases not currently in use.
- Replaced use of named at: with locateId: for entity lookups
in MasterFeed, EntityExtenderFeed, MembershipFeed, and
UniverseMembers processing.
- Modified rollbackVersion: method at ProcessControlTools to
reformat output returned from restarting the master listener.
Changes to Core Applications
- Modified Currency menu in reports to include LEGACY as last choice;
only Local, US, Legacy, and currencies having at least one exchange
rate will be included in the body of the menu.
Changes to PMA Core
- Added Broker as a core class.
- Modified locateId: message at Security to consider the eighth character cusip and six carachter sedol as part of its search path.
- Modifed the rebuildSecurityList method at Company so the
default list does not reference all securities that do not have
a company.
- Assigned the primary string cluster for Security, Company, and Account
classes to the same object space as the class. Modifed the resetCodeTo:
and setTickerTo: messages at Security to use clustered strings.
- Modified PriceRecord to store daily return either as a percent or in
unitized form. Two properties have been added: _dailyReturn
and _unitReturn. Only one of these properties needs to be
updated. The cover methods dailyReturn and unitReturn at
PriceRecord derive the value not loaded.
- Modified new Holding store creation to use new store location method.
- Added return1m as an updateable property for FundamentalDataM.
Changes to PMA Feeds
Changes to PMA Apps
- Modified Balance Sheet and Income Statement reports to link to
the latest quarterly version, eliminating individual links by year.
- Modified Account Characteristic reports that contain 2 levels
of grouping (date/account and group/account) so the generated detail link
only includes the subset of accounts displayed. The
link had contained all accounts which consequently produced a browser error
when the string became too long.
- Modified the Pricing Currency report to display the conversion
formula when a report that includes pre-euro dates is requested in euro.
- Modified getAccountListFrom: method at Account to sort
list correctly if composite is used.

Poisson Cluster Process: Theories and Application in Wireless Network Models
This page maintains our progress on the Poisson cluster process (PCP)-based modeling and analysis of cellular networks.
A brief background
Stochastic geometry (SG) has emerged as a powerful tool for modelling and analysis of wireless cellular networks. Using the distributions of random point patterns, which are the key offerings of this subject, it is possible to derive easy-to-compute analytical expressions of key network performance metrics like coverage, rate, area-spectral efficiency and draw useful inferences avoiding computationally expensive and time-consuming system-level simulations of cellular networks. In the SG-based models, the locations of base stations (BSs) and users in a cellular network modeld are modeled using random point patterns (also known as point processes). The most simplest point process is known as the homogeneous Poisson point process which assumes that all the points are distributed independently and uniformly at random over a space. Here is an example of a homogeneous PPP in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
Most of the SG-based models of cellular networks assume that the base stations (BSs) and users are distributed as independent homogeneous PPPs. This means that BS and users are located independently and uniformly at random over a plane. This model is known as the baseline PPP model. However, this model is is valid for a handful of deployment scenarios, for instance traditional macro-cellular networks, it is not a representative model for a more heterogeneous network setup where smallcells are overlaid on macro cells to fill coverage dead-zones and target user hotspots with high capacity demand.
The point patterns of users and BSs in a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet) are in most cases non-Poissonian, with multiple sources of spatial coupling, such as user-user, user-BS, BS-BS couplings. Among non-Poisson point processes, Poisson cluster process (PCP) closely resembles the point pattern of numerous realistic user and BS configurations in HetNets, such as users forming hotspot and smallcells under user-centric deployment. A PCP in $\mathbb{R}^2$ looks like this.
An important motivation to use PCP as the spatial model of users and BSs (mostly small cell BSs) in a HetNet is its resemblence with the network layouts considered in the 3GPP-compiant network simulators. Also quite interestingly, unlike many other non-Poisson processes, we found that the PCP-based HetNet models are quite amenable to mathematical analysis as well. In the series of papers, we have built the theory of PCP-based network models and have found the analytical expressions of network performance metrics.


Aleph supports an extensive API for searching documents and entities. It can also be used to retrieve raw metadata, source documents and other useful detail.
Aleph's API tries to follow a pragmatic approach based on the following principles:
/api/1/
. Later versions may increment this number while leaving the existing API intact.Content-Type
and Accept
headers set to application/json
.Aleph exposes all significant aspects of it's domain model, which is explained in short below.
/api/1/documents
) reflect a single text document or tabular document imported into Aleph. Every document is either imported as a text document with a number of text
pages associated with it, or as a tabular document, which as a number of rows./api/1/sources
) describe the origin of a particular document. Each document is associated with exactly one source, which is also used to control who has access to that document./api/1/entities
) reflect structured data about persons or companies. Each entity has a name, a number of aliases and other details, such as their jurisdiction,
a short summary, or contact and passport details. Entities are identified through a UUID./api/1/collections
) group entities into sets, such as all the people relevant to a particular investigation, or all the companies on a country's sanctions list. They also control who can access information about an entity.The main search endpoint allows for a set of complex queries to be executed. Results will include document metadata, record snippets (for highlighting) and facet values that can be used to further summarize the result set.
GET /api/1/query
This accepts the following arguments:
q
, a query string in ElasticSearch query syntax. Can include
field searches, such as title:penguin
.facet
, return facet values for the given metadata field,
such as languages
, countries
, mime_type
or extension
. This can be specified multiple times for more than one
facet to be added.filter:{field_name}
, filter the results by the given field.
This is useful when used in conjunction with facet
to create a
drill-down mechanism.collection
, like facet
for entity collections:
all entities which are tagged in result set documents and part of the given
collection will be returned. This can be specified multiple times for more
than one collection to be added.entity
, given the UUID of a particular entity, return only
documents which have been tagged with it.limit
, the number of results to return, max. 10,000.offset
, the number of results to skip at the beginning of the
result set.
By default, all queries will return a facet of the document sources for which
matching documents have been found. This cannot currently be disabled, but a
filter can be applied to show only results from a particular source:
?filter:source_id={source_id}
.
A second endpoint exists that accepts the same query parameters and will return an Excel 2007 (XML) file as it's result. The returned file contains a shortened representation of the results, but it is limited to 10,000 rows.
GET /api/1/query/export?q=pickles
Another way of interpreting search results is as edges in a graph of entities. In this
representation, each document is treated as a link between any permutation of entities
which that document has been tagged with. The returned graph can be used to understand
the connectivity between those tagged entities. A result format can be specified using
the format
parameter, either as gexf
(Graph Exchange Format
XML) or d3
, a JSON format suitable for use in D3.js-based force-directed graphs.
GET /api/1/query/graph?q=pickles&format=gexf
Note that this query type is only useful if entities are loaded into the Aleph instance and at least one collection is specified as a search facet.
Once you've located a document, you may want to access it's metadata in full:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}
This will return the full set of fields stored for the given document. If you also want to access the original source data (e.g. a PDF document, CSV spreadsheet etc.), you can request it like this:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}/file
This may return an HTTP 302 redirect if the storage location for the document is a public URL.
For all documents that are identified as text documents (including images, Word documents, E-Mails), Aleph generates a PDF representation that is used by the document viewer. This PDF form can be retrieved using the following API call:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}/pdf
This may return an HTTP 302 redirect if the storage location for the document is a public URL.
For documents (text and tabular) the following API call will query the contained records (i.e. data rows or pages):
GET /api/1/query/records/{document_id}
This accepts the following arguments:
q
, a query string in ElasticSearch query syntax. This can include
field searches, such as raw.my_column:penguin
to search the contents
of a table which has the given column.limit
, the number of results to return, max. 10,000.offset
, the number of results to skip at the beginning of the
result set.For text documents the recognized text of a particular page can be retrieved using the following API call:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}/pages/{page_no}
Tabular documents are divided into several, numbered sheets which reflect the structure of an (Excel) worksheet. The first (and for most tables only) sheet will be 0. Metadata about a particular sheet is available at the following endpoint:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}/tabular/{sheet_no}
Each sheet can also be queried using the following end point, which returns only the raw tabular data:
GET /api/1/documents/{document_id}/pages/{sheet_no}/rows
This is internally build as a search endpoint, and thus accepts the following arguments:
q
, a query string in ElasticSearch query syntax.row
, the ID of a particular row, which should be presented as the first result.limit
, the number of results to return, max. 10,000.offset
, the number of results to skip at the beginning of the
result set.
By default, any Aleph search will return only public documents in
responses to API requests. If you want to access documents which are
not marked public, you will need to sign into the tool. This can be
done either using the OAuth login flow (i.e. by directing the user to
/api/1/sessions/login
, and then making all further requests using
the resulting session cookie), or through the use of an
API key.
The API key for any account can be found by clicking on the "Profile"
menu item in the navigation menu. It must be sent on all queries using
the Authorization
HTTP header:
Authorization: ApiKey 363af1e2b03b41c6b3adc604956e2f66
The authorization status of a user can be checked at any time by calling the
/api/1/sessions
endpoint, which also includes the user profile
and details regarding their access rights.


Bridge attacker shot dead
by The Canadian PressUPDATE: 11:20 a.m.
A man wearing a fake explosive vest stabbed several people in what police are treating as a terrorist attack Friday before being tackled by members of the public and then fatally shot by officers on London Bridge, police and the city’s mayor said.
The Metropolitan Police said “a number” of people were wounded but gave no information on how many or their conditions. London Mayor Sadiq Khan said some of the injured were in serious condition.
Khan said police weren’t looking for anyone else.
Metropolitan Police counterterrorism chief Neil Basu said the suspect appeared to be wearing a bomb vest but it turned out to be “a hoax explosive device."
Basu said officers were keeping “an open mind as to any motive.”
The violence erupted two-and-a-half years after a van and knife attack in the same area killed eight people.
Police said a stabbing at a “premises” near the bridge, which links the city’s business district with the south bank of the River Thames, was reported about 2 p.m.
Minutes later, witnesses saw a knifeman being wrestled to the ground by members of the public before armed-response officers shot him dead.
Karen Bosch, who was on a bus crossing the bridge, said she saw police “wrestling with one tall, bearded man” and then heard “gunshots, two loud pops.”
She said the man "pulled his coat back which showed that he had some sort of vest underneath, whether it's a stab vest, or some sort of explosive vest, the police then really quickly moved backwards, away.”
"It seemed like there was something in his hand, I'm not 100% sure, but then one of the police officers shot him.”
UPDATE 8:12 a.m.
London’s Metropolitan Police say that though the circumstances of an incident on London Bridge remain unclear, authorities are treating it as if it is terror-related.
The police acknowledged one man had been shot in the incident that began at 1:58 p.m. on Friday. The police say that “at this stage, the circumstances relating to the incident at #LondonBridge remain unclear. However, as a precaution, we are currently responding to this incident as though it is terror-related.”
"One man has been shot by police. We will provide further information when possible."
They previously said that several people had been stabbed nearby.
UPDATE 7:37 a.m.
Police say several people have been stabbed close to London Bridge, and a man has been detained.
The Metropolitan Police force says officers were called Friday afternoon "to a stabbing at premises near to London Bridge."
They say "a man has been detained by police. We believe a number of people have been injured."
The news comes after witnesses reported hearing gunshots. Sky News reported that police had shot the apparent attacker.
ORIGINAL 6:41 a.m.
British police said Friday they were dealing with an incident on London Bridge, and witnesses have reported hearing gunshots.
The Metropolitan Police force tweeted that officers were “in the early stages of dealing with an incident at London Bridge.”
BBC reporter John McManus was in the area and said he saw figures grappling on the bridge. He said: “I thought it was initially a fight,” but then shots rang out.
London Ambulance Service said it had crews on the scene.
Police could be seen ushering people away from the northern end of the bridge, which links the city’s business district with the south bank of the River Thames.
City of London Police, the force responsible for the business district, urged people to stay away from the area.

A PERFECT MURDER 1998 A film review by Timothy Voon Copyright 1998 Timothy Voon 2 :-) :-) out of 4 for re-dial M
Cast: Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen, David Suchet, Sarita Choudhury Director: Andrew Davis Screenplay: Patrick Smith Kelly based on the play "Dial M for Murder" by Frederick Knott
When it comes to a good ol' murder yarn, one wants to be surprised, thrilled and kept in suspense throughout. With these elements in place, one will be swept away with the mystery. There is no perfect murder, there are only those who get away with the crime and those who aren't so lucky. In the case of this movie, the crime is almost perfect, with the one exception of human error.
In a re-make-over of the classic DIAL M, we are represented with that most horrid scenario of a man wanting to murder his wife. What is made more poignant this time round, by Gwynetth Paltrow playing the wife, than in the original role played by Grace Kelly, is that the wife is having an extra marital affair. Whether this is a sufficient reason to commit murder, is debatable, but it is made clear in the plot that the two major roots for murder are money and jealousy.
Keeping this in mind, we are led through one man's (Michael Douglas) most horrid attempt at ridding himself of his most beautiful, unfaithful wife. There are new elements added to the original Hitchcock classic, bringing it up to date with current trend of nineties plot twisting. The lover (Viggo Mortensen) is one of these elements. This is not necessary better, but does give a different perspective to those who have already seen the many reruns of the original. Those who haven't seen the Hitchcock classic, are the ones who will most likely appreciate this almost perfect mystery.
Michael Douglas is ideal as the cold, manipulative husband, and all his WALL STREET colours shine through brilliantly in this role. Gwyneth Paltrow is as usual charming and beautiful as the wealthy, unfaithful wife. Not classical material, but more a valiant attempt at trying to recreate the magic of DIAL M.

Currently, I'm also a _Co-founder_ and _Board Member_ of AI for People, Director of the ContinualAI Lab and a proud member of the European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS). In Pisa, I work within the [Pervasive AI Lab](http://pai.di.unipi.it/) and the [Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning Group](http://groups.di.unipi.it/groups/ciml/), which is also part of the and the [Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE)](https://claire-ai.org).
Previously, I was a Post-Doc @ University of Bologna (with: [Davide Maltoni]()) where I also obtained my PhD in early 2019 with a dissertation titled "Continual Learning with Deep Architectures" (on a topic I've been working on for more than 7 years now) which was recognized as one of the top-5 AI dissertation of 2019 by the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence. In the past I've been a _Visiting Research Scientist_ at [AI Labs]() in 2020, at [Numenta](https://numenta.com/) (with: [Jeff Hawkins](), [Subutai Ahmad]()) in 2019, at [ENSTA ParisTech](https://www.ensta-paristech.fr/) (with: [David Filliat]()) in 2018 and at [Purdue University](https://www.purdue.edu/) (with: [Eugenio Culurciello]()) in 2017. Even before, I was a Machine Learning Software Engineer @ iDL in-line Devices and a Master Student @ UniBo.
My main research interest and passion is about **Continual Learning** in all its facets. In particular, I love to study *Continual Learning* under four main lights: *Neuroscience*, *Deep Learning* and *Practical Applications*, all within a *AI Sustainability* developmental framework. My work has been featured by Venture Beat. Notable research milestones include: 1) the [1st PhD dissertation on Deep Continual Learning](http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/9073); 2) the organization of the [1st Continual Learning in Computer Vision workshop at CVPR 2020](https://sites.google.com/view/clvision2020), 3) the release of [Avalanche: the reference open-source library for Continual Learning](https://avalanche.continualai.org/) and 4) the authorship of the [1st Online, Open-access Course on Continual Learning](https://continualai.gitbook.io/continual-learning-course).
