Digits on the Floor
问题描述 :
Since Taro may not have bars of desired lengths, Taro cannot always make forms exactly as shown in Figure 2. Fortunately, Hanako can recognize a form as a digit if the connection relation between bars in the form is kept. Neither the lengths of bars nor the directions of forms affect Hanako� perception as long as the connection relation remains the same. For example, Hanako can recognize all the awkward forms in Figure 3 as digits. On the other hand, Hanako cannot recognize the forms in Figure 4 as digits. For clarity, touching bars are slightly separated in Figures 2, 3 and 4. Actually, touching bars overlap exactly at one single point.
In the forms, when a bar touches another, the touching point is an end of at least one of them. That is, bars never cross. In addition, the angle of such two bars is always a right angle.
To enable Taro to represent forms with his limited set of bars, positions and lengths of bars can be changed as far as the connection relations are kept. Also, forms can be rotated. Keeping the connection relations means the following.
?Separated bars are not made to touch.
?Touching bars are not made separate.
?When one end of a bar touches another bar, that end still touches the same bar. When ittouches a midpoint of the other bar, it remains to touch a midpoint of the same bar on the same side.
?The angle of touching two bars is kept to be the same right angle (90 degrees and −90 degrees are considered different, and forms for 2 and 5 are kept distinguished). Your task is to find how many times each digit appears on the floor. The forms of some digits always contain the forms of other digits. For example, a form for 9 always contains four forms for 1, one form for 4, and two overlapping forms for 7. In this problem, ignore the forms contained in another form and count only the digit of the �argest?form composed of all mutually connecting bars. If there is one form for 9, it should be interpreted as one appearance of 9 and no appearance of 1, 4, or 7.

学算法中的数据结构学到一定程度会乐此不疲的，比如其中的2－3树，类似的红黑树，我甚至可以自己写个逻辑文件系统结构来。
.net中char类型不是两个字节么
涨姿势了
题目需要求解的是最小值，而且没有考虑可能存在环
我没看懂题目

我觉得第一个应该是5 6 -1 5 4 输出是19 5 4
第二个是7 0 6 -1 1 -6 7输出是14 7 7
不知道题目例子是怎么得出来的

方法4中使用hash表，只要用出现次数作为Value，就可以解决重复元素的问题了。
大致看了下，算法的时间复杂度没有很本性的提升，算不上高效。

- NIA to start its investigation as per the orders of the Court under the supervision of committee led by former Supreme Court judge, Justice R.V. Raveendran.
About National Investigation Agency NIA
- National Investigation Agency (NIA) is a central agency founded by the Indian Government to combat terror in India.
- A dedicated Central Counter Terrorism Law Enforcement Agency.
- The organization deals with terror related crimes across states without special permission from the states.
- The Agency came into survival with the enactment of the National Investigation Agency Act 2008 by the Parliament of India.

- It strives towards developing a highly trained, partnership oriented workforce to excel in its objective to set excellent standards in counter terrorism and national security investigations.
- It also acts as deterrence for existing and potential terrorist groups/individuals.
- It aims to develop as a storehouse of all terrorist related information
1. No case for an all India judicial service
- Suggestion to craft an All-India Judicial Service (AIJS) on the contours of the All India Services (AIS) has initiated the debate on a move to implement it.
- High Courtsexpressed their disapproval towards the suggestion.
- District judges will be enlisted centrally through an all-India examination and given cadre similar to that of AIS
- Objective of the move is to ensure transparent and efficient method of recruitment and appeal the talent in India’s legal profession
2. Flag hoisting today? Do you know the rules?
Why in news?
- Naveen Jindal, Member of Parliament, Kurukshetra, was asked to remove the display of the national flag from his factory premises; he took the legal route and got the Flag Code of India amended.
About the Standards of procedure
- Flag Code of India that lays down all the rules and procedures to be followed while hoisting the national flag.
- Ensure the dimension of the flag is correct and the timing is right for hoisting it.
- Never keep it on the ground in any circumstances and keep it folded after it has been lowered in a proper place
- Stand in attention and salute, and while the last string of the anthem is being played, lower the salute.
- The national flag of India shall be made of hand spun and hand woven wool/cotton/silk khadi bunting and its length to height (width) ratio shall be 3:2.
- The flag shall not be used for commercial purposes in violation of the Emblem and Names (Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950.
- The flag shall not be intentionally allowed to touch the ground or the floor or trail in water.
- Where the flag is displayed in open, it should, as far as possible, be flown from sunrise to sunset, irrespective of weather conditions.
3. Union Cabinet approves new metro rail policy
- The Union Cabinet comes up with a new policy for magnifying and regulating metro rail services.
- The most significant move is with respect to the funding pattern.
-
The policy makes private sector contribution binding for all the three funding options:
- Public-private partnership (PPP) model with central assistance under the Viability Gap Funding scheme of the Finance Ministry,
- Grant from the Centre under which 10% of the project cost would be given as a lump sum, or
- 50:50 equity sharing model between the Central and State governments.
1. 15%-29% AES fatality rate at BRD Hospital
- Mortalities of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) patients at Gorakhpur’s region agonized by the infection have been between 15% and 29% of all cases over a period of eight years.
- The Japanese encephalitis virus, scrub typhus or other bacterial, viral or fungal infections are the reason behind the number of cases of AES.
1. Ministerial group to oversee disinvestment
- A ministerial group chaired by Finance Minister would be the deciding authority on particulars of strategic disinvestment of public sector firms.
- It will be the authority responsible to state the terms of sale and also inviting financial bids from prospective buyers.
- The suggestion from Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) got a nod from the CCEA for establishing an Alternative Mechanism (AM) comprising of the Finance Minister, Minister for Road Transport & Highways and Minister of Administrative Department in order to agree on the complications, terms and conditions of the sale from the stage of welcoming to the end process of financial bid.
- The Core Group of Secretaries (CGD) to take policy judgments on procedural issues and deviations.
About DIPAM
- Union Government has renamed Department of Disinvestment as Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM).
- DIPAM is under Union Finance Ministry.
- Its function is to advise the Union with respect to the financial restructuring of PSUs and also for appealing investment through capital markets.
- It will deal with all matters relating to sale of Union Government’s equity through private placement or offer for sale or any other mode in the erstwhile Central PSUs.
- Henceforth all other post disinvestment matters will continue to be handled by the Union Finance Ministry or concerned department in consultation with DIPAM on necessity.
1. Hizbul Mujahideen labelled a ‘terror group’
- The U.S. labelled militant group Hizbul Mujahideen as a “foreign terrorist organisation”.
- This move came up two months following the move to declare the group’s chief Syed Salahuddin as a global terrorist.
- This move imposes U.S. sanctions on the organization,where the entire property subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and people in the U.S. are generally forbidden from pleasing in any transactions with the group
- This move was the result of an surge in terror undertakings by the militant group in Kashmir in recent months.
- This move comes as a major setback to Pakistan, which has been projecting the militant group as a voice of the Kashmiri people.
About the FTO
“Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO) is a label for non-United States-based groups considered by the United States Secretary of State, in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 (INA), to be tangled in terrorist activities as per the US definition.
Category: ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY
1. India has 27,312 elephants, census shows
- The first-ever all-India Elephant Population Assessment estimates India’s Asian elephant population at 27,312.
- Methods employed: sighting-based direct count mode. Further it will be confirmed from the indirect dung-count technique in three months.
- Karnataka records the maximum number of elephants (6,049), followed by Assam (5,719) and Kerala (3,054).
-
Reports also discussed about the reasons behind man-animal conflict:
- Due to habitat fragmentation, elephants are moving out to agricultural landscapes leading to an increase in man-elephant conflict.
2. Cabinet clears stalled Bihar dam project
- The Union Cabinet has stepped forward to restart the North Koel Reservoir Project.
- This project was delayed since 1993 though it was a potential lifeline for irrigating over 40,000 hectares in specific backward and drought-prone districts of Jharkhand and Bihar.
- Nevertheless now the dam will be built smaller than planned and capacity condensed by up to 85%, to inherit the environmental and forest standards.
- Threat estimated was that submergence of shares of the Betla National Park and the Palamau Tiger Reserve
1. Full text of Tripura CM Manik Sarkar’s speech that DD, AIR refused to broadcast
- Doordarshan and All India Radio (AIR) refused to broadcast Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s Independence Day address.
- DD AND AIR compelled him to reshape it.
- Tripura CM termed it “undemocratic, autocratic and intolerant step”.

Jekyll Related Posts
Spent some time this weekend trying to implement ‘Related Posts’ onto my blog. Wasn’t hard, but also wasn’t as straight forward as I expected.
Jekyll’s documentation is pretty light and wasn’t really helpful for related posts. Also, general sentiment on the internet is that Jekyll’s existing related posts function is subpar.
Most signs point to Lawrence Woodman’s library for overwriting Jekyll’s existing related posts function and replacing it with a better one.
While it’s not bad, I prefer using tags instead of categories. Thankfully I found David Lynch’s blog and he had an improved version of Lawrence Woodman’s library to do exactly that.
Add a file to the _plugins
directory called related_posts.rb
and paste in the code below. Thanks David!
require 'jekyll/post'

# Used to remove #related_posts so that it can be overridden
def self.included(klass)

def related_posts(posts)
return [] unless posts.size > 1
highest_freq = Jekyll::Post.tag_freq(posts).values.max
related_scores = Hash.new(0)
posts.each do |post|
post.tags.each do |tag|
if self.tags.include?(tag) && post != self
cat_freq = Jekyll::Post.tag_freq(posts)[tag]
related_scores[post] += (1+highest_freq-cat_freq)
end
end
end
Jekyll::Post.sort_related_posts(related_scores)
end
module ClassMethods
# Calculate the frequency of each tag.
#
# Returns {tag => freq, tag => freq, ...}
def tag_freq(posts)
return @tag_freq if @tag_freq
@tag_freq = Hash.new(0)
posts.each do |post|
post.tags.each {|tag| @tag_freq[tag] += 1}
end
@tag_freq
end
# Sort the related posts in order of their score and date
# and return just the posts
def sort_related_posts(related_scores)
related_scores.sort do |a,b|
if a[1]  b[1]
-1
else

end
end.collect {|post,freq| post}
end
end

Introduction
NEST aims to be a .net client with a very concise API. Its main goal is to provide a solid strongly typed Elasticsearch client. It also has string/dynamic overloads for more dynamic usecases.
Indexing is as simple as:
var post = new Post() { Id = 12, ... }
client.Index(post);
Indexing asynchronously is as easy as:
//IndexAsync returns a Task<ConnectionStatus>
var task = client.IndexAsync(post);
Searching is fluid:
var results = this.ConnectedClient.Search<ElasticSearchProject>(s => s
.From(0)
.Size(10)
.Fields(f => f.Id, f => f.Name)
.SortAscending(f => f.LOC)
.SortDescending(f => f.Name)
.Query(q=>q.Term(f=>f.Name, "NEST", Boost: 2.0))
);

Scientists perfect chip recipe after 150 years
Forget McDonald's fries as chips should be 2.8 inches long, quarter of an inch thick, cut from Maris Piper spuds, crispy outside and fluffy within.
by Ruki SayidThey’ve been a national institution for more than 150 years... and now scientists have come up with the recipe for the perfect chip.
They should be 2.8 inches long, quarter of an inch thick, cut from Maris Piper spuds, crispy outside and fluffy within.
And for a heavenly taste they should be sprinkled with salt – no pepper – and served with ketchup.
Research by the Food Advisory Board reveals the classic straight-cut chip rules supreme over the curly and the crimped.
Its survey of 2000 people found vinegar was the nation’s second-favourite condiment with mayonnaise third.
One in five liked curry sauce on their chips. And while northerners showed a liking for gravy, southerners preferred cheese.
Four in 10 said chips were their favourite food and a quarter would eat them every day if they could.
FAB expert Prof Robert Pickard said they should be cooked skin-on to take advantage of the fibre and potassium.
He added: “Thick-cut chips are healthier as they absorb less cooking fat than thin ones.”
In Lancashire, John Lees is celebrated as the first person to sell chips served with fried fish. He began his business in a wooden hut in Mossley market in 1863.
By the 1920s, there were 35,000 shops and 10,500 are still open today selling almost 300million portions of fish and chips a year.


A Subtrope of Unusual Eyebrows, this is when a character has no eyebrows.
Typically, this is used to give the individual a more brutish, Neanderthal look (although, ironically, Neanderthals are stereotyped to be hairy). Alternatively, they deliberately throw the character into the Uncanny Valley, which can create an ethereal or alien appearance. In these cases, the brow ridges will tend to be fairly prominent and well-defined, so that the character can still make appropriate facial expressions. Occasionally, however, the artist simply doesn't draw them with eyebrows, and they have to find other ways to emote.
Contrast with Big Ol' Eyebrows.

- Reiner Braun from Attack on Titan, according to design notes. However, most of the time it looks like he's merely got very thin (blond) ones.
- Gustavo Ragetta and Keith Gandor from Baccano!.
- Kenpachi from Bleach. Also, As Nodt, for the second reason. Eeep.
- Renji also technically doesn't have any. His tattoos work as his eyebrows.
- Akutagawa from Bungou Stray Dogs either has no eyebrows or very thin ones.
- In Code:Breaker, if you look under Masaomi Heike's hair, he actually has no eyebrows.
- L doesn't have any in Death Note; this was carried over in the live action movies, though it's not that noticeable until he goes outside into the wind. The manga artist said it was intended to make him look "dead-eyed." A couple of minor characters (like Ide) are also browless without any apparent justification.
- Level 3 Super Saiyans◊ in Dragon Ball Z. It gives them a distinctively Neanderthal-like look.
- Android 20, Dr Gero. He had a rather bushy pair in his old body.
- Recoome of the Ginyu Force. Dabura as well.
- Elfman and Gajeel from Fairy Tail.
- Amarao of FLCL is almost always known for having Big Ol' Eyebrows (even giving some to Naota at one point), but they're actually fake. On the occasions where they pop off, he's shown to be completely hairless where his eyebrows would normally be.
- In Fruits Basket, Kyoko Honda née Katsunuma had such small eyebrows that her husband Katsuya teased her about not having any.
- In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Jean Pierre Polnareff inexplicably lacks eyebrows, which was likely done to draw attention to his amusingly large forehead and pole-like hairstyle. He does gain eyebrows when he returns in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo as a result of the change in art style.
- The sinister Yokoya from Liar Game.in Part 3, as three of the main characters - Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Polnareff - are virtually only distinguishable due to their different hairstyles and outfits.
- Aur the Villain Protagonist from Maou no Hajimekata in his novels design, it gives great focus to his great frown.
- Naruto:
- Gaara doesn't have any. Probably to make him look unnerving. His father, the Fourth Kazekage, didn't either.
- Zabuza usually has eyebrows, except in a few scenes in the anime, but they're incredibly thin and short, which was enough for Naruto to call him "eyebrowless freak" a couple times.
- The Second Mizukage didn't have any either, which he claims are a sign of charisma.
- Snow White with the Red Hair: While Obi's brows are short understated things in the manga they don't exist at all in the anime.
- Jin and Jin's mom from Urayasu Tekkin Kazoku.
- Resident science genius Sanada (Sandor) in Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) has a rather piercing gaze and no eyebrows.
- In his original design notes for Batman villain Ra's Al-Ghul, creator Denny O'Neil specified that he has no eyebrows to give him an exotic appearance, which is how artist Neal Adams originally drew him. However, many later artists have missed this detail (perhaps because of his prominent brow ridge) and have drawn him with eyebrows.
- Dracula's old form in Bram Stoker's Dracula completely lacks eyebrows, in odd contrast to the book where bushy eyebrows are one of his most noticeable features.
- In Die Another Day, The Dragon Zao has no eye brows which underpins his Red Right Hand status.
- Bernie Rose in Drive. Albert Brooks shaved off his eyebrows himself in order to make character look less expressive and emotional.
- Gríma Wormtongue in The Lord of the Rings. As discussed in his entry on Uncanny Valley, his actor Brad Dourif's decision to shave his eyebrows for the part is what really made the character look creepy, even more than his corpse-like makeup. Out of costume and off-set, people kept telling Dourif that something wasn't quite right about him.
- David Lynch likes this trope:
- The "Mystery Man" played by Robert Blake in Lost Highway (see the page image).
- The Cowboy in Mulholland Dr..
- The titular character in The Terminator starts out as a young, good-looking Arnold Schwarzenegger pushed into the Uncanny Valley by a pointed lack of emotion. The attractive appearance falls away quickly over the course of the movie, culminating in the creepy skeleton. The first thing to go, however, are its eyebrows, giving it a more brutish appearance.
- In The Movie of the Pink Floyd album, The Wall, Pink shaves off pretty much all of his body hair, including his eyebrows, as he descends further into insanity.
- In Sha Po Lang II: A Time for Consequences, Ah Zai, The Dragon of the primary Big Bad, has no eyebrows, serving to highlight his role as a psychotic Knife Nut enforcer.
- Red and Umbrae from Us have weird scars where their eyebrows would be, emphasizing the differences between them and their counterparts, Adelaide and Zora.
- Uriah Heep, from David Copperfield is described as having "hardly any eyebrows, and no eyelashes." His sinister appearance certainly fits his character.
- Discworld: In Feet of Clay, Vimes guesses that Cheery is an alchemist in part due to Cheery's lack of eyebrows, since alchemical experiments tend to explode.
- Grim Tuesday of Keys to the Kingdom had his eyebrows blown off. One of them became a monster.
- Abenthy, Kvothe's first mentor in The Name of the Wind, usually doesn't have eyebrows because he keeps burning them off in the course of his various experiments as an arcanist. Kvothe comments in his narration that this made Abenthy look perpetually surprised.
- Old Kingdom: Captain Gullaine, head of the Royal Guard in Clariel, doesn't have any hair on her head, including eyebrows.
- In the second book of The Pendragon Adventure, all of the characters residing in the eponymous underwater city lack eyebrows. Bobby mentions that it's quite unsettling, and that one doesn't normally consider eyebrows carefully until they're not there.
- Doctor Who:
- Karlton, Mavic Chen's advisor in "The Daleks' Master Plan", and the rest of his people.
- Professor Sondegard in "The Mutants" has neither eyebrows nor hair, possibly a side effect from being around an environment constantly teeming with radiation.
- The Fourth Doctor also has very fine, pale eyebrows that the makeup department often covered up further (although, like the Eleventh Doctor, he has eyebrows in some scenes thanks to an inconsistent makeup department). Between his lack of eyebrows and his unusually large Creepy Blue Eyes, he looks very alien indeed.◊
- The Mona Lisa has no eyebrows, which disappoints Romana in "City of Death". The Doctor claims that until she pointed it out, he never noticed.
- The Fifth Doctor is also known for his lack of eyebrow.
- The Eleventh Doctor. It actually varies between this and very pale eyebrows, but it seems that Matt Smith has no eyebrows, and the makeup department is inconsistent in penciling them on. Lampshaded in "The Time of the Doctor" when Clara makes fun of his lack of eyebrows and he sensitively responds that his eyebrows are "delicate".
- The Observers of Fringe lack any sort of hair, including eyebrows.
- Victor Zsasz on Gotham goes for the completely hairless look, like the aforementioned Observers on Fringe but twitchier.
- In the Victorious episode "Crazy Ponnie", Cat accidentally waxes off Jade's eyebrows, thus causing Jade to fall under this trope.
- Yuri, from Command & Conquer. Combined with his chillingly calm demeanor, this is quite some source of Nightmare Fuel.
- Sten and the other kossith from Dragon Age: Origins.
- The Highlander clan in Final Fantasy XIV are always shown with no eyebrows due to them shaving it off as a way to intimidate their enemies. Only the men do this.
- Leo Whitefang of Guilty Gear Xrd.
- Captain Ventralis, head of security on the Rift Station on Noveria, in Mass Effect, is missing eyebrows, along with the rest of the hair on his head. Whether this is the consequence of days of fighting crazy, murderous aliens, or the result of standing too close to a Bunsen burner, is anyone's guess.
- All of the Snakes in Metal Gear possess very pale and indistinct eyebrows, although the bandana substitutes for them in the ones who wear it.
- Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Cyrus found eyebrows unnecessary for his perfect world.
- Claudia of Silent Hill 3, in order to invoke the Uncanny Valley.
- Guile of Street Fighter fame. He's American like that.
- He's not the only one. There's also Sagat, Dhalsim, Blanka, Bison (Dictator), Balrog (Boxer), Dee Jay, Akuma, Dudley, Oro, Hugo, Seth, Oni... It seems that if you don't have Big Ol' Eyebrows in the world of Street Fighter, you're likely to lack eyebrows completely instead.
- In Tales of Monkey Island, Gaffer Crimpdigit has no eyebrows as a result of one accident while on his glassblowing job. He even lampshades this a few times in Chapter 1.
- Hubert from Fire Emblem: Three Houses appears to have no eyebrows pre-timeskip, although it's unclear if they're just very thin or nonexistent. He loses this post-timeskip, although they're still thin.
- Adventure Time is another show where most characters have no eyebrows by default, but may suddenly gain them for use in facial expressions.
- Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender is a half example, as his left eye does not have a brow due to a burn inflicted by his father Ozai.
- Matt Groening's art-style does not draw eyebrows for most of the characters in The Simpsons and Futurama, although some like Milhouse have huge eyebrows. Some characters, most notably Moe, have very prominent brow ridges that act in their place for emoting.
- Pizzazz from Jem shaved off her eyebrows and replaced them with makeup.
- Henry and June on KaBlam!.
- Phineas and Ferb:
- Phineas and Ferb both have eyebrows, but they're only visible at certain times, usually to convey some intense emotion or for a quick joke.
- Zig-Zagged with Isabella. In the first two seasons, she's almost never seen with eyebrows. In fact, an early "Learn to Draw" book claimed she didn't have any and that it was a sensitive topic for her. This never came up in the series proper, and in the second half of the show's run, Isabella's eyebrows started appearing more and more frequently. By the time the show ended, eyebrows became a consistent part of her character design.
- Steven Universe: Most of the Gems have no eyebrows, though in some episodes they gain thin eyebrows for certain expressions and eye movements. All the human character except Onion have eyebrows visible at all times.
- Ash from Superjail! due to the fact that his face is horribly burnt and deformed.
- Cheetara from ThunderCats (1985). Or at least they're completely hidden by her facial markings. Some of the villains as well - Tugmug (or possibly they're hidden in the black circles around his eyes), Slythe and Vultureman of the mutants (of course, neither of them are mammals, so lack of hair is to be expected), and Mumm-ra.
- The Mona Lisa originally did have eyebrows, but all the cleaning and restoration works scrubbed the eyebrows (and a lot of details) out.
- Many redheads and some blonds have pale eyebrows that vanish into their pale skin. These include:
- Queen Elizabeth I
- Former US Speaker of the House Richard Gephardt
- Tilda Swinton
- Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway of the Thompson Twins used to shave their eyebrows off.
- Whoopi Goldberg
- Martin Luther McCoy
- David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust phase.
- Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Kane, has no eyebrows.
- Amanda Palmer has tattoos on her eyebrow region, which is usually hairless.
- Shaving off someone's eyebrows is a popular prank, and is sometimes done as part of a hazing ritual.
- During The Roaring '20s and The '30s, it was a very fashionable trend for women to pluck the eyebrows out and then draw a pencil-thin line above where they used to be.
- Makeup artists, and drag queens who don't shave their brows, use a technique known as the "gluestick method" to achieve a no-brow look without plucking every single hair on the brows. Basically, they apply gluestick on the brows, then flatten the hairs, and when dry, cover it with varied layers of concealer, powder, and foundation.
- Original Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett shaved his entire head, including his eyebrows, after quitting the music industry.
- There is a condition known as Alopecia universalis which causes the loss of all hair, eyebrows and eyelashes included.

Spectro-photometric Analysis Around Cosmic Noon: Emission-Lines, Dust Attenuation, and Star Formation
Galaxies are the building blocks of the Universe. Understanding their role in the cosmos translates into studying their emitted light from a multi-wavelength perspective as a large variety of physical processes inside them are responsible for the radiation we observe. In this work, a sample of galaxies in the COSMOS field with ultraviolet to far-infrared photometry and Ha, Hb, [OIII]5007 fluxes is studied using spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting software CIGALE. The photometry is firstly fitted along with the Ha fluxes to derive robust estimations of the stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and attenuation in the emission lines. A dust-corrected relation between SFR and the [OIII]5007 luminosity is proposed in the same way as it already exists for the Ha emission-line. The dispersion in this relation is studied under the light of the interstellar medium (ISM) properties as the ionization parameter and gas-phase metallicity fitting the photometry and the Ha, Hb, [OIII]5007 fluxes. The nebular emission models inside CIGALE are updated to reproduce the nebular emission of these galaxies at z ~ 1.6. These models are also used to create mock spectra catalogs for the Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph (MOONS) collaboration. A sub-sample of galaxies in the COSMOS field is fitted covering ultraviolet to mid-infrared photometry. Mock spectra are created including either stellar continuum-only or stellar continuum and nebular emission. The power of including spectroscopic information along with the photometry in the SED fitting process is presented in this work in preparation for future large spectroscopic surveys that will open a new era in galactic and extragalactic Astronomy.

Statistical constraints on Gaia data for exoplanetary ringed systems observation
In this work, we present a probabilistic analysis of the occurrence rate of exoplanetary rings. Following a Monte-Carlo and analytic approach to reproduce the stellar mass IMF and the exoplanetary mass-and period-distributions, we proposed low-mass stars below 2.0 Msun as those candidates with the highest chance to harbor planets orbiting with exoplanetary rings (already formed or in the formation process). The expected number of detections lies between 100 and 10 for a stellar mass range between 0.1 Msun and 2.0 Msun, out of a total number of 10000 stars and exoplanets period-mass pairs simulated. Using Gaia DR2 data we performed an analysis of the well-known OB association ScoCen (also known as Sco OB2) subdividing the region in three subgroups, Upper Scorpius, Upper Centaurus-Lupus, and Lower Centaurus-Crux. For each subgroup, its respective Hertzsprung-Russell was created to pre-select stars between two isochrone models of 5 Myr and 60 Myr, where the youngest isochrones were corrected by extinction values reported in the literature. Stellar tracks where also computed probing that our final sample contains stars below 2 Msun to values down to 0.1 Msun which corresponds to the lower limits of the isochrone-and stellar track-models. However, we can go a bit further down this limit in mass with the new Gaia DR2 data set. The final sample contains 3729, 3309, and 3432 sources in each one of the LCC, UCL and US subgroups. This final sample of stars is cross-matched to the SuperWASP database in order to retrieve light curves for the selected stars to be studied, motivated by the light curve of J1407. This cross-matching process let us with 113, 654, and 718 light curves per subgroup but only a final sample of ∼ 20 candidates is proposed after inspecting the light curves and comparing to the actual light curve of J1407 searching for possible exoplanetary ringed systems or variable star behavior. Additionally, we redefined the original limits of ScoCen in galactic coordinates to include a larger sky area in a range of 285◦ ≤ l ≤ 360◦ and −10◦ ≤ b ≤ +32◦ and a parallax range of 5 to 12 mas and performed a selection of the young population which led to the natural overall trend and some outstanding over-densities close to the original boxes. This method allows the study of membership in associations relatively quick as a first step to lately applied a kinematic method and increase the chance of studying a large sample of actual stars belonging to the association.

An ALMA survey of sub-millimetre galaxies in the extended chandra deep field south: A blind search for emission lines at 145 GHz
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) band 4 (145 GHz) observations of 51 ALESS sources. A CO(4 → 3)-emission line for ALESS070.1 and ALESS122.1 at 138.88±0.02 GHz and 152.44±0.01 GHz was detected respectively. Our CO detections have a good signal-to-noise ratio reaching ∼ 6σ and ∼ 10σ for both sources. We measured the line luminosity through this transition and estimate the amount of molecular gas to be in terms of the CO-to-MH2 conversion factor, MH2 = (11.74±4.76) 1010 M¯αCO and MH2 = (13.56±4.29) 1010 M¯αCO for each source. In the case of ALESS122.1 we found the CO luminosity ratio to be r41 = 0.32±0.01 after comparing our integrated luminosity for CO(4 → 3) to the CO(1 → 0) reported in literature. Our derived spectroscopic redshift of z ∼ 2.0252 and the measured molecular mass for ALESS122.1 are consistent with previous observations. The redshift measured for ALESS070.1 corresponds to z ∼ 2.3197 and represents a plausible solution to a discrepancy in previous measurements obtained from the optic spectroscopy. An estimation of the dynamical mass for both sources and implications of the CO-SLED for ALESS122.1 were also addressed. Download Thesis (Minor Project)

Dark matter halo characterization thorugh properties of host galaxies classified in the Hubble sequence
The formation and evolution of galaxies has always been an important topic in order to know why the universe looks as it does today. In a Λ-CDM scenario dark matter collapses to build up halos which merge forming bigger halos. According to this theory barionic matter collapses into the dark matter halo forming galaxies, so, the properties of galaxies are expected to depend on or to be correlated to the dark matter halo properties. Motivated by the Sloan digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS-DR7), data from the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC) and a classification method performed by Huertas-Company, 2010 [19], we analyzed a sample of galaxies of the SDSS-DR7 to infer the connection between the structural parameters of the dark matter halo with the properties of the galaxy hosted in that halo. If structural differences in a given type of galaxy are related to structural differences in their halos, we are able to infer properties of the halo giving an independent test to the formation of structures and galaxies.
Data sample obtained from Huertas-Company, 2010 has approximately 600.000 galaxies of the SDSS-DR7 which are tagged with a probability of belonging to an E,S0,Sab and Scd subclass. This information was enriched with properties of the objects extracted from NYU-VAGC as the petrosian magnitudes u,g,r,i,z, velocity dispersion, and the Sérsic’s parameters A,R0 and n in each band. Using the Color-Magnitude diagram (CDM) and the fundamental plane for each band we tested the quality of the dataset and the relation between the surface brightness profile with its respective type. Through the distribution of their Sérsic parameters, we obtained a direct connection between the dark matter halo parameter as spin, concentration and virial mass (λ, C, Mv i r ) with the photometric properties of the galaxy as surface brightness, disk scale length and Sérsic’s index (A,R0,n). Performing inference techniques we studied correlations between properties of a galaxy with the parameters of the dark matter halo where it should be hosted at.
It was observed a strong correlation between the Sérsic’s parameters and the Hubble classification according to the technique shown by Huertas-Company, 2010. There are differences between galaxies classified as the same type as a function of its luminosity. We assume that we know how the properties of the dark matter halo are distributed, using this indicates that through an inference analysis is possible to estimate, at least in an statistical way, the properties of the halo. Using a a model for dik galaxies it is possible to obtain the disk scale length and the surface density profile in terms of the dark matter halo structural parameters as concentration, virial mass and spin. Once the observed disk scale length and the model one are compared, each observed galaxy inherites the median values which better describes the dark matter halo where they are embedded at. A correlation between the spin parameter and the concentration (i.e virial mass) is found which tell us that a given dark matter halo will host a given disk galaxy only if its corresponding value of spin parameter it is ralated to the concentration. Also, tables corresponding to the results for the Sab and Scd SDSS-DR7 galaxies are shown which contains information about the disk and dark matter halo properties assigned after matching the observations with the model.

The menu that you see below is a very fancy one and showing some great use of jQuery and CSS3.
Techniques like these kinda make Flash obsolete and was created by Marcofolio.net.
This is just another one of those crazy Proof of Concepts that could be used when CSS3 will be an actual web standard. Sadly, only browsers that support the -webkit
prefix in CSS (Safari and Chrome) show the full effect of this technique.
Firefox only displays the rounded corners (-moz-border-radius
) and Internet Explorer.. Well, you'll have to see it for yourself. Strangely, Opera doesn't really like this technique and displays the effect a whole other way.
I apologize for the "ugly" background. It just shows the neat fade out effect better.

Sun and Floods
Today was deceptively a nice day to go for a ride. The sun was out but there was still a biting wind out. However, I wanted to get out and about and the weather seemed to be decent enough so wrapping up warm, I headed out.
I fancied trying to cycle the Cole Green Way today but I thought with the rain we’ve had recently, this was probably not the wisest idea, as I know the other path nearby, the St Albans Way, has a section that floods in the rain. Well, based on what I saw elsewhere, this would seem to have been a wise choice!
I got out and started cycling, and as I went to turn down a road towards Water End, a kind cyclist coming the other way advised me to turn around as the water was knee deep and not worth cycling through. So I thought I’d cycle the long way around to get some pictures - after all, that’s one of the resolutions this year, to get an image on each ride.
Well, I wasn’t disappointed when I got there.
You’ll have to view that fullscreen to the get the full effect. As you can see, the whole road was covered - look to the right of the image to see a 4x4 trying to get through it - good thing I didn’t try on the bike!
Heading up to Hatfield, I stopped a few times to adjust the saddle - think I’ve got the seat height and saddle position sorted on the new bike now.
Anyhow, cycling out from Hatfield towards Welwyn and onwards to Stevenage, I again was confronted with water…
With this, I was a bit disheartened and thought I’d cycle home along some routes I thought would be fairly clear. Ended up finding a shortcut from Colney Heath into Hatfield that I might take more often (depending on where I need to go in Hatfield!).
Anyhow, the last few pictures I got were of Colney Heath - the river there was pretty full!
With that, I headed back, managing to take the bike around the local quarry and bridleway as the wind round there was amazing - I was practically leaning into it as it was blowing me sideways. Not quite as these roadies but it wasn’t far off (in fairness, I was probably saved by being a bigger chap and riding a heavier bike than these guys and girls!!).
Anyhow, a reasonable ride, a bit disappointed with the road conditions but that can’t be helped. In fairness, the conditions today just backed up how more comfortable I felt with a hybrid than a road bike. The flat bars certainly felt safer with the wind (and not to mention the V brakes which would stop me quicker than the road ones!) and the larger tyres helped navigate the puddles and the debris left on the roads from the storms we’ve had around the area.

Harris impressed by Cardiff ‘character’ as fightback earns draw at Charlton
The Bluebirds fought back from 2-0 down at half-time.
Neil Harris was delighted to see his Cardiff City side come from 2-0 down to rescue a point at Charlton on his Bluebirds managerial debut.
Former Millwall boss Harris made a quick return to south-east London after replacing Neil Warnock during the international break and might well have been questioning his choice as first half goals from Conor Gallagher and Jonathan Leko left Cardiff in trouble at the break.
His mood was hardly improved by Junior Hoilett’s poor early second half penalty, which was easily saved by Addicks keeper Dillon Phillips.
But Harris’ afternoon quickly took a turn for the better when Nathaniel Mendez-Laing reduced the deficit in the 52nd minute before substitute Lee Tomlin grabbed a 73rd-minute leveller.
The newly-appointed Cardiff manager said: “Coming from behind it was a point gained definitely.
“I think it became a bit like a basketball match in the second half, which isn’t really how I want to coach and manage.
“At half-time the group was a little bit deflated. I think we felt a little bit sorry for ourselves because we certainly didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down.”
Asked what impressed him most about the second-half recovery, Harris replied: “The character.
“It was a tough week last week for the players in the sense of losing the manager and a guy who is hugely respected within the club, to try and take on my ideas, the environment I want to create and the discipline I want in the group.
“To be 2-0 down is a bit of a kick in the proverbials to be fair and you hope for a reaction at half-time.
“I asked for a reaction, I got it and I’ve seen the group want to be successful, they want to learn.”
Addicks manager Lee Bowyer was without the services of 10 senior players and was not even able to name a full contingent of substitutes.
Despite his obvious frustration at blowing their interval advantage, the Valley chief could not fault the way his injury-plagued side had put Cardiff on the back foot.
Bowyer explained: “To be two up at half-time and end up coming away with a point is disappointing
“But on the positive side we’ve played against Cardiff, a team who were in the Premier League this time last year, and I felt that we were better than them for large parts of the game.
“Once we scored then I felt like we controlled the game for the rest of the first half.
“We were so much better than them in the first half they even had to change their shape and match us up. Obviously we were causing them a lot of problems.
“In the second half again I thought we were good. It was a bit more end-to-end. They had chances, we had chances.
“I thought the penalty was soft because the two players were pulling each other. Thankfully Dillon saved it but the least we deserved today was a point.”

class Zlib::Deflate
Zlib::Deflate
is the class for compressing data. See Zlib::ZStream
for more information.
Public Class Methods
Compresses the given string
. Valid values of level are Zlib::NO_COMPRESSION, Zlib::BEST_SPEED, Zlib::BEST_COMPRESSION, Zlib::DEFAULT_COMPRESSION, or an integer from 0 to 9.
This method is almost equivalent to the following code:
def deflate(string, level) z = Zlib::Deflate.new(level) dst = z.deflate(string, Zlib::FINISH) z.close dst end
See also Zlib.inflate
static VALUE rb_deflate_s_deflate(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass) { struct zstream z; VALUE src, level, dst, args[2]; int err, lev; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &src, &level); lev = ARG_LEVEL(level); StringValue(src); zstream_init_deflate(&z); err = deflateInit(&z.stream, lev); if (err != Z_OK) { raise_zlib_error(err, z.stream.msg); } ZSTREAM_READY(&z); args[0] = (VALUE)&z; args[1] = src; dst = rb_ensure(deflate_run, (VALUE)args, zstream_ensure_end, (VALUE)&z); return dst; }
Creates a new deflate stream for compression. If a given argument is nil, the default value of that argument is used.
The level
sets the compression level for the deflate stream between 0 (no compression) and 9 (best compression). The following constants have been defined to make code more readable:
-
Zlib::DEFAULT_COMPRESSION
-
Zlib::NO_COMPRESSION
-
Zlib::BEST_SPEED
-
Zlib::BEST_COMPRESSION
See www.zlib.net/manual.html#Constants for further information.
The window_bits
sets the size of the history buffer and should be between 8 and 15. Larger values of this parameter result in better compression at the expense of memory usage.
The mem_level
specifies how much memory should be allocated for the internal compression state. 1 uses minimum memory but is slow and reduces compression ratio while 9 uses maximum memory for optimal speed. The default value is 8. Two constants are defined:
-
Zlib::DEF_MEM_LEVEL
-
Zlib::MAX_MEM_LEVEL
The strategy
sets the deflate compression strategy. The following strategies are available:
- Zlib::DEFAULT_STRATEGY
-
For normal data
- Zlib::FILTERED
-
For data produced by a filter or predictor
- Zlib::FIXED
-
Prevents dynamic Huffman codes
- Zlib::HUFFMAN_ONLY
-
Prevents string matching
- Zlib::RLE
-
Designed for better compression of PNG image data
See the constants for further description.
Examples¶ ↑
Basic¶ ↑
open "compressed.file", "w+" do |io| io << Zlib::Deflate.new.deflate(File.read("big.file")) end
Custom compression¶ ↑
open "compressed.file", "w+" do |compressed_io| deflate = Zlib::Deflate.new(Zlib::BEST_COMPRESSION, Zlib::MAX_WBITS, Zlib::MAX_MEM_LEVEL, Zlib::HUFFMAN_ONLY) begin open "big.file" do |big_io| until big_io.eof? do compressed_io << zd.deflate(big_io.read(16384)) end end ensure deflate.close end end
While this example will work, for best optimization review the flags for your specific time, memory usage and output space requirements.
static VALUE rb_deflate_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { struct zstream *z; VALUE level, wbits, memlevel, strategy; int err; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "04", &level, &wbits, &memlevel, &strategy); TypedData_Get_Struct(obj, struct zstream, &zstream_data_type, z); err = deflateInit2(&z->stream, ARG_LEVEL(level), Z_DEFLATED, ARG_WBITS(wbits), ARG_MEMLEVEL(memlevel), ARG_STRATEGY(strategy)); if (err != Z_OK) { raise_zlib_error(err, z->stream.msg); } ZSTREAM_READY(z); return obj; }
Public Instance Methods
Inputs string
into the deflate stream just like Zlib::Deflate#deflate
, but returns the Zlib::Deflate
object itself. The output from the stream is preserved in output buffer.
static VALUE rb_deflate_addstr(VALUE obj, VALUE src) { do_deflate(get_zstream(obj), src, Z_NO_FLUSH); return obj; }
Inputs string
into the deflate stream and returns the output from the stream. On calling this method, both the input and the output buffers of the stream are flushed. If string
is nil, this method finishes the stream, just like Zlib::ZStream#finish
.
If a block is given consecutive deflated chunks from the string
are yielded to the block and nil
is returned.
The flush
parameter specifies the flush mode. The following constants may be used:
- Zlib::NO_FLUSH
-
The default
- Zlib::SYNC_FLUSH
-
Flushes the output to a byte boundary
- Zlib::FULL_FLUSH
-
SYNC_FLUSH + resets the compression state
- Zlib::FINISH
-
Pending input is processed, pending output is flushed.
See the constants for further description.
static VALUE rb_deflate_deflate(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj); VALUE src, flush; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &src, &flush); do_deflate(z, src, ARG_FLUSH(flush)); return zstream_detach_buffer(z); }
This method is equivalent to deflate('', flush)
. This method is just provided to improve the readability of your Ruby program. If a block is given chunks of deflate output are yielded to the block until the buffer is flushed.
See Zlib::Deflate#deflate
for detail on the flush
constants NO_FLUSH, SYNC_FLUSH, FULL_FLUSH and FINISH.
static VALUE rb_deflate_flush(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE obj) { struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj); VALUE v_flush; int flush; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &v_flush); flush = FIXNUMARG(v_flush, Z_SYNC_FLUSH); if (flush != Z_NO_FLUSH) { /* prevent Z_BUF_ERROR */ zstream_run(z, (Bytef*)"", 0, flush); } return zstream_detach_buffer(z); }
Duplicates the deflate stream.
static VALUE rb_deflate_init_copy(VALUE self, VALUE orig) { struct zstream *z1, *z2; int err; TypedData_Get_Struct(self, struct zstream, &zstream_data_type, z1); z2 = get_zstream(orig); if (z1 == z2) return self; err = deflateCopy(&z1->stream, &z2->stream); if (err != Z_OK) { raise_zlib_error(err, 0); } z1->input = NIL_P(z2->input) ? Qnil : rb_str_dup(z2->input); z1->buf = NIL_P(z2->buf) ? Qnil : rb_str_dup(z2->buf); z1->flags = z2->flags; return self; }
Changes the parameters of the deflate stream to allow changes between different types of data that require different types of compression. Any unprocessed data is flushed before changing the params.
See Zlib::Deflate.new
for a description of level
and strategy
.
static VALUE rb_deflate_params(VALUE obj, VALUE v_level, VALUE v_strategy) { struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj); int level, strategy; int err; uInt n; long filled; level = ARG_LEVEL(v_level); strategy = ARG_STRATEGY(v_strategy); n = z->stream.avail_out; err = deflateParams(&z->stream, level, strategy); filled = n - z->stream.avail_out; while (err == Z_BUF_ERROR) { rb_warning("deflateParams() returned Z_BUF_ERROR"); zstream_expand_buffer(z); rb_str_set_len(z->buf, RSTRING_LEN(z->buf) + filled); n = z->stream.avail_out; err = deflateParams(&z->stream, level, strategy); filled = n - z->stream.avail_out; } if (err != Z_OK) { raise_zlib_error(err, z->stream.msg); } rb_str_set_len(z->buf, RSTRING_LEN(z->buf) + filled); return Qnil; }
Sets the preset dictionary and returns string
. This method is available just only after Zlib::Deflate.new
or Zlib::ZStream#reset
method was called. See zlib.h for details.
Can raise errors of Z_STREAM_ERROR if a parameter is invalid (such as NULL dictionary) or the stream state is inconsistent, Z_DATA_ERROR if the given dictionary doesn't match the expected one (incorrect adler32 value)
static VALUE rb_deflate_set_dictionary(VALUE obj, VALUE dic) { struct zstream *z = get_zstream(obj); VALUE src = dic; int err; StringValue(src); err = deflateSetDictionary(&z->stream, (Bytef*)RSTRING_PTR(src), RSTRING_LENINT(src)); if (err != Z_OK) { raise_zlib_error(err, z->stream.msg); } return dic; }

New online companies arose in the late 1990s and the early 2000s; their purpose was to create a democratic medium that was controlled by no one but shaped by everyone who used it.  This revolution was called Web 2.0 .
These goal of this new businesses was to give power to users to control their digital content consumption. The greatest pioneer of them was Napster, which opened the door for inventing the idea of digital goods . Napster was founded in 1999. It provided a software application which is served as a platform for sharing digital audio files among users. This meant if you had an album by a musician, you could share it with others who are interested in getting it. At the same time, you had the opportunity to look at other users’ lists of digital audio files and download whatever you liked. This whole process was possible thanks to inventing the method of compressing audio files without any quality damage ( MP3 ); it resulted in much smaller file size, so then uploading and downloading a song became much faster. It was a revolutionary idea and became immensely popular among young adults.
Hundreds of songs on such a small device thanks to MP3
by Oleg Sergeichik
There was only one problem; the copyright owners of these songs (producers, studios, and musicians) did not get any financial compensation from this file-sharing mechanism. Napster got sued (main suers: Dr. Dre and Metallica) because of its illegal activity. The lawsuit attracted attention, which resulted in more and more users joined Napster. Even so, in 2001 Napster had to shut down due to the verdict of the lawsuit. However, after this legal battle new companies emerged to fight for digital rights.
Although Napster lost its battle for digital rights, it made a vast impact on the media industry. New companies emerged from Napster's ashes to fight for people’s rights in this new digital era. Let us have a look at two of them.
Digg.com’s main goal was to eliminate the old method when executives and editors decided which news is available for you. Digg.com created a system wherein your peers can send in and vote on news articles; this resulted in which article is worth publishing on the website. Briefly, the users can decide what is important news for them.
YouTube was created in 2005 because its founders thought it is hard to distribute and produce your digital content within traditional media. They wanted to provide a platform where your content can be easily accessible to users, and you do not lose your rights over your product after publishing it. Their motto summarizes this efficiently: Broadcast yourself! However, YouTube had also legal battles like Napster because users did not upload only user-generated content but copyrighted videos too. YouTube luckily survived the lawsuits thanks to the resources of Google, which owns YouTube. The website fights against uploading copyrighted content, but it is still a problem.
A new career as a YouTuber
by Gianandrea Villa
The Web gave us another way to communicate with those whom we already knew and expanded the numbers of whom we could meet. The first site which is worth mentioning in this arena is Myspace.
Myspace – founded in 2003 – was one of the first sites which we can call a social media site. Every user could have a profile site, which mimicked the user’s taste in décor (band posters, friends’ pictures in the background). You had the opportunity to listen to music with the help of a built-in music player during spending time on the website. It became so popular that musicians and Hollywood studios started to use this site for promotion. In a short time, competition arrived; Facebook was founded in 2004.
Facebook started as a small project in a dorm room at Harvard, but it became widely successful; the number of its users doubles every 6 months worldwide. The basic idea behind Facebook is that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder, thinks the most trusted people in our life are our friends, colleagues, and family, and mapping out these relationships is a valuable item. These relationships give us billions of connections that can be reorganized into so-called social graphs . With these social graphs, we can target people with advertisements efficiently.
After the burst of the dot.com bubble, a new era came where the crowd got the power to contribute to the human culture. The possibilities are vast: anyone can be an amateur journalist as a blogger; you can make your advertisement on Craigslist; or you can help to build an enormous digital encyclopedia on Wikipedia. Finally, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the founder of the World Wide Web, is satisfied because the Web took that path he wanted in the first place: Let people create and not just consume products. The Internet needs to be a two-way road.

JS core¶
This is a developer description of how the core component works.
As you know javascript it’s a strong and fast language but suffers huge performance problems meanwhile it’s dealing with the DOM, this component it’s coded with an eye in performance, that’s why hit the DOM just when it’s extremely need it.
Basics¶
It contains a name
and a version
property just in case that you actually need it but don’t affect how the component works, the most important storage variables are:
cache
saves calculations to hit the DOM as less as it can.settings
keep track of the settings for each modal window.window
contains the type of the current open modal window.target
the reference of the DOM element making the current call.resized
it becomes true when the browser window resize and the modal window it’s not open, in that way don’t recalculate each time, only when it’s need it.
Init¶
The init function check the integrity of the data, saves the settings and attach a resize
and a click
event.
