The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, and commonly known as LA 2028/Los Angeles 2028, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event, which will be hosted in the city of Los Angeles, California, United States between July 21 and August 6, 2028.
Bidding for the host city was originally scheduled to begin in 2019 with the winning bid scheduled to be announced in 2021. However, following difficulties with cities withdrawing in the bidding process for the 2022 Winter and 2024 Summer Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided in July 2017 to jointly award both the 2024 and 2028 Games. On July 31, 2017, an agreement was announced that Los Angeles would bid for the 2028 Games with $1.8 billion of additional funding from the IOC, which opened Paris up to be confirmed as host of the 2024 Games. Both cities were announced as winners of their respective games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on September 13, 2017.
This will be the fifth Summer Games to be hosted in the United States, and the third in Los Angeles following St. Louis 1904, Los Angeles 1932, Los Angeles 1984 and Atlanta 1996. Los Angeles will also become the third city after London (1908, 1948 and 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924 and 2024) to host the Olympic Games three times.

Support for external devices.
This package provides support for external devices which need
extension of the Java Runtime Environment for communication and
sometimes also need proprietary interface support software.
Currently the following devices are supported:
- The GretagMacbeth EyeOne colorimeter. This needs the GretagMacbeth
EyeOne SDK library for USB support.
- The Tektronix Lumacolor II with J1810 colorimeter head. This is
connected to the system using a serial communication port (RS232) and
requires the installation of the Java
Communications API.
- Other devices connected to the system via the serial communication
port (RS232) and also require the installation of the Java
Communications API.


Fall 2016 ShipIt Day
Another ShipIt Day was held on September 8th-9th at the Realization Campus at Cerner. ShipIt is a 24-hour hackathon with the goal of building something awesome, usable, and value-adding within a single day. This fall marked our sixth ShipIt, which has has grown significantly since our first event.
The event kicked off in the morning at the auditorium of our Realization campus. At this point, teams were already formed, instructions were given, and shirts were handed out. This ShipIt day came with cool new t-shirts for all participants featuring the ShipIt squirrel (inspired by GitHub)!
Teams broke out to their work spaces and got to work on their projects. One team, LearnStack, decided to focus their project on associate development. The judges greatly appreciated their approach to this very real problem, and decided to award them the third place prize.
LearnStack – Jake LaCombe, Daniel Stucky, Sujay Sudheendra
Developers can get to a struggling point when they try to increase their experience level. Sure, getting started with any language can be very easy to do. Rails for example has their impressive tutorial from Michael Hartl for getting started with the framework. However, what happens when you get done with those beginning steps? What does it take to go from a beginner to an intermediate Rails developer, and then again from Intermediate to Advanced?
The answer here is LearnStack. LearnStack takes a list of resources that are recommended by other developers, and rated appropriately based on the experience level of the material. Developers can easily share resources related to beginner, intermediate, and advanced knowledge of a particular language, process, framework, or whatever it may be. No need to keep doing endless searches online to figure out how to get to the next level! Let LearnStack point you to the resources you need!”
Another team decided to tackle the time it takes to provision a virtual machine. This team called themselves, “All your base are belong to us,” and they were awarded second place.
All your base are belong to us – Chris Soukup, Alex Harder, Ben Hemphill
The current situation for OS image creation is that it is done infrequently, in an ad-hoc manner, with little consistency among the various hypervisors. This means that we take the base image and then use Chef to upgrade the image to the desired state. This adds significant amounts of time to the process of provisioning a virtual machine.
Our project was to use Packer to create a generic image with all of the universal settings that we set with our base OS Chef recipe. This image can then be distributed to all the hypervisors and made available to consumers. Since the image would be generated regularly, the provisioning time could be significantly decreased by not having to immediately upgrade the system. Additionally, since the universal settings are already applied, we save considerable amounts of time on the OS preparation as well. We took provisioning time for a RedHat 7.2 OpenStack VM from 12 minutes, 50 seconds to 4 minutes, 1 second, a 320% decrease in time!
Future enhancements will allow us to automatically generate these images, distribute them, and make them available to consumers. This will allow a consuming team to naturally stay current on OS patches at provisioning time, decrease the human effort in creating these OS images, and provide a consistent experience for teams across Vagrant, VMWare, OpenStack, EC2, Docker, etc.”
For the first time we had a unanimous winner for both the judges and the participant winners. The 206 Partial Content team not only won two giant tubs of cheese balls, but also the all important Golden Keyboard and bragging rights until the next ShipIt Day. 206 Partial Content decided to solve a problem to “enable solution designers, engineers, and grandparents to easily create, stage, and process data for testing scenarios required for verification without being dependent on upstream processing or rules.”
206 Partial Content – Madhur Sikri, Ian Kottman, Venkatesh Sridharan, Andy Nelson, Brian van de Boogard
Our project was primarily driven by two rock star engineers on our team, Ian Kottman and Brian van de Boogaard. We coined our project Sinecure, which means a position requiring little or no work but giving the holder status or financial benefit. The goal of the project was to find a solution to creating test data more easily and efficiently for anyone on our team to consume.”
Thanks to all who participated and congratulations to our winners. Until next time, at ShipIt VII in December!

[Erowid Warning: Most Coricidin contains CPM (Chlorpheniramine Maleate) which can be dangerous in high doses. See DXM Brand Warnings for more info.]
I have been having long term effects from DXM. It was my first drug and quickly became my drug of choice. I started by using coricedin cough and cold, twelve tablets. Once I felt myself coming down just a little I would pop twelve more. This system didn't work for long because 3 months later I couldn't get anything out of them without taking twenty eight. I overdosed purposely twice. Long story short I ended up in a jail and a residential treatment center for a combining total of one year. While in there I began noticing that I would sometimes go on random 'trips' of DXM, not the good euphoric feeling, but the babbling, loss of words, and studdering.
My memory is terrible now. I cannot remember an hour ago. It has been almost six months since I relapsed on coricedin and I am still having the same problems. I also get random stomach pains. One lingering effect is the blotches of color I see on walls. If I look at a blank wall I will see blotches of usually green or black. I had my eyes tested and they check out fine. I mixed coricedin with LSD and THC for about 3 months at 3 to 4 times a week. I also often mixed it with alcohol, morphine, oxycontin, dramamine, valium, and shrooms. I expiramented with new drugs while on it also. I don't know if I am the only one who has had this problem.

--- layout: post title: Llama Preview: Swift Closures and Delegates date: 2021-04-28 12:00:00 keywords: swift dotnet front llama teaser: Support for converting Swift closures into .NET delegates, with callAsFunction syntax ---
A new preview release of SourceGear.Llama.Swift.Sdk is now available on NuGet. It's an MSBuild project SDK for .NET 5 that allows compiling Swift, with support for calling .NET class libraries. See my previous blog entry for more background.
This release:
is updated for Swift 5.4, which was released a couple days ago
contains a bunch of bug fixes
adds support for interop between Swift closures and .NET delegates
Reminder: Llama is at the "proof of concept" stage, and is not production ready.
Consider the generic delegate type System.Func<T,TResult>
.
The Llama binding generator creates a Swift class named System.Func_2<T,TResult>
, as a wrapper for its .NET counterpart.
Right away we
encounter the one thing here that I find a little bit sad:
To match C#, I wish the name Func_2
could be just Func
.
But Swift won't allow us to define multiple types with the same name but varying number of type parameters, like Func<T1>
and Func<T1,T2>
and Func<T1,T2,T3>
and so on.
Actually, under the hood, .NET isn't really doing this either, as the real names for these types have a suffix containing a backtick plus the number of type params, but C# hides the System.Func`2
name from us. Anyway, when this kind of conflicting name situation happens, Llama gives them names like Func_2
.
The Func_2
class contains an initializer that accepts a closure, so we can create one of these delegates like this:
let d = try! System.Func_2({ (x : Int64) in x * 4});
The Swift closure itself is the expression { (x : Int64) in x * 4}
, a simple function that multiples its argument by 4.
The resulting .NET delegate is a wrapper that will call the closure when the delegate is invoked. Under the hood, this is accomplished by converting the closure to a function pointer and using the CIL instruction calli
when Invoke()
happens.
I am rather fond of the fact that Swift can figure out the generic types in this case, but specifying the types explicitly would have been fine too:
let d = try! System.Func_2<Int64,Int64>(callback: { (x : Int64) in x * 4});
So now that we have one of these delegates, we can just call it:
let x = try d(13); try! System.Console.WriteLine(x);
This bit of magic is implemented using the callAsFunction
feature of Swift, which was added in version 5.2 of the language. The Llama binding generator exposes the delegate's Invoke()
method with the name callAsFunction
, and it Just Works.
Which broadly describes why I find Swift to be such a pleasant language -- so many things Just Work.

The first schools in Ipswich have signed up to a reading pledge as part of the ‘Let’s Talk Reading’ project which is working to improve reading skills across the town.
‘Let’s Talk Reading’ is a partnership project involving Suffolk Libraries, supported by funding from Ipswich Borough Council, local charities and, last year, Suffolk County Council’s ‘Raising the Bar’ programme.
The project has been working with 10 Ipswich schools over the past 15 months on a number of initiatives to improve reading, including developing a Reading Pledge, which commits schools to making reading a top priority for every pupil.
St Helen’s Primary School, Ipswich Academy and The Oaks Primary School have all recently signed up to this Pledge which they now have on display.
The Pledge focuses on four key themes:
- All children will have the opportunity to become confident and enthusiastic readers
- Time and space for reading will be given high priority so reading is put at the heart of the curriculum
- Parents and carers will be supported in reading with their children
- The school will work with community partners to support parents and carers who struggle with reading themselves.
John Helleur, one of the project’s founders, said: “We are delighted that schools have really got behind ‘Let’s Talk Reading’ and shown their commitment to focus on reading with every pupil. The aim of the Pledge is to help place literacy at the heart of school life, to create a culture where children enjoy and benefit from reading. It is vital that each and every child and young person is able to read well enough to enable them to succeed in school and throughout life. It’s therefore important for us all to work together to support children who struggle to read.”
Jeremy Pentreath, Joint Headteacher at The Oaks Primary School, said “The school has made excellent progress this year in reading and the Let’s Talk Reading project will, in the long term, be transformational for our pupils.”
Sarah Merchant, English Lead at St. Helen’s Primary School, said: “With the help of ‘Let’s Talk Reading’, we have invested in The Power of Reading programme, which puts reading and language at the heart of our curriculum, further improving oracy, listening skills, confidence and therefore the life chances of young people.”
Helen Winn, Principal at Ipswich Academy, said: “Ipswich Academy is proud to have signed the Reading Pledge to confirm its commitment to improving reading skills. We leave no stone unturned to ensure that all of our students are confident and competent readers. With our well-stocked and vibrant library placed in the heart of the academy, reading is at the forefront. From cross-academy shared reading for all students every morning during tutor time to focused reading strategies within lessons, our students are developing a love of literature. Our rapidly improving English language and literature GCSE results are showing that our approach is working well.
“Ipswich Academy is also working with local partners in primary schools and the community to support the improvement of reading for everyone in the local area. As a member of the Let’s Talk Reading project, we are committed to sharing and supporting good practice in Ipswich to secure a better future for the young people in our town.”
As well as working directly with schools, Let’s Talk Reading is keen to encourage parents to read with their children every day. It is working with charities and local agencies to engage with parents in ante- and post-natal classes, nurseries, children’s centres and schools to get this key message across to parents.
Where parents themselves struggle with reading, Let’s Talk Reading is also working to set up four adult literacy hubs across Ipswich, where parents and carers can receive free, confidential one-to-one support twice a week over the period it takes to enable them to read confidently.
Last month Ipswich Borough Council’s Area Committees agreed further funding of over £20,000 to support Let’s Talk Reading’s work in early years and adult literacy across the four areas of central, south east, south-west and north-west Ipswich.
Let’s Talk Reading is hoping to announce further partnering initiatives over the next three months.
Schools currently working with ‘Let’s Talk Reading’ are Ipswich Academy, Murrayfield Primary Academy, Piper’s Vale Primary Academy, Chantry Academy, The Oaks Primary School, St. Helen’s Primary School, Cliff Lane Primary School, Whitton Community Primary School, Hillside Primary School, Stoke High School and the Raedwald Trust.

This page describes one formal usability study that our team will perform.
Our team wants to test if the notes section on the add dish page of our app is useful for our users. We are unsure whether our users value the presence of the notes section and whether or not they find it helpful.
The presence of the notes section will not enhance the user’s experience with the app. Regardless of whether or not there is a separate notes section, the users won't add notes to the notes section, or if they do, the notes they do add are not valuable to the user in the short or long term.
The users are given the task of adding a meal to the app that they are accustomed to cooking. This meal should be familiar enough to the user that the user can recall the recipe from memory.
We would ask the user to add a different meal to each of three designs of the app:
The adding picture and the cancel/submission buttons on the add dish page will remain the same. Additionally, the appearance of the text entry boxes for the notes and recipe will remain the same. The only thing changing is the order and existence of the recipe and notes sections.
The order and presence of the recipe and notes inputs on the add dish page.
Users will either not type notes in the notes section or the notes they do type will not be meaningful. Additionally, when they are not provided with a notes section, they will not miss that functionality.
Ideally we would test at least ten subjects, each running two test iterations. For clarification, one iteration includes testing each of the three versions of the app described in the ‘Experimental Conditions’ section. We would want to run two test iterations because certain recipes may have meaningful notes to the user, while others may not. To gauge the consistency of the user’s behavior of the entry of notes for recipes, we would want to have two iterations of this test per user.
We completed our last usability tests, both the informal and formal usability testing, with two of our users Katherine and Denise (not their real names). Overall, our users were able to quickly figure out how to use our app, though Katherine had a little trouble figuring out how to add a new meal to the app initially. Once they had completely the task of adding a new meal, however, Katherine and Denise had no trouble editing and sharing meals. Denise described the app, saying “it’s cute, it’s simple, and I like your choices.” Katherine found the app to be intuitive, once she figured out how to add a dish. Katherine and Denise also were able to edit and share entries with ease, although we are unsure they would know that a sharing option existed unless we gave them the task to share one of the posts.
Below is one example of an entry that Denise added during our formal usability test:
For our formal usability testing, both Katherine and Denise noticed the change between the different application designs: the recipe section followed by the notes section, the notes section followed by the recipe section, and the recipe section and no notes section. Both users showed a preference for having the notes section and entered notes for each of the recipes that they put into the application and complained when the notes section was not present. If Katherine and Denise are representative of our user group, we would definitely include the notes section in our design.
Comparing the app design with the recipe section followed by the notes section with the app design with the notes section followed by the recipe section, Katherine and Denise held opposing viewpoints. Katherine liked having the notes section before the recipe section because the notes were more important to her than the recipe section and she liked having her notes more visible than the recipe. Denise liked having the recipe section before the notes section saying, “it’s just the way my mind works”. If we were to conduct more studies, the ordering preferences of the notes and recipe sections of our users as a whole would be more clear.
Given one more week of user tests, our team would like to make the following fixes:

The Paper Crisis
Conferences can spend a lot of money to print maps, agendas, marketing materials, and brochures. Imagine a tradeshow for 500 people. According to a study by North Central Carolina University, over 170 trees could be consumed. This amounts to 200 pounds of wood and over $750 in printing costs.


Since Google released the first explorer wearable device in Feb 2013, more and more people has jumped into this area to develope their ideas about wearable computing devices. Moreover this device could provide a virtual screen which would be floating on the air and combining with the real scene to users. So it inspires me to use the techniques I learned from this course to simulate this amazing feature.
Left image shows how I image the path of light coming from the mini projector and the how the light will change the path on the special surface, combiner. The surface, combiner, has two special bsaf, specular-reflection and specular-transmission. So the eye will receive a light combining two light sources, ambient-light and projector-light.
For the light source, I use the default projector light source as my base class. But because this class considers all the light is coming from a point instead of coming from a series of parallel light which is what I want. So I modify the direction of incoming light.
For the material, I use the concept of light-splitter to implement this material. This material will have two specular propertities in its bsdf, specular reflection and specular transmittion. I also give this material a parameter to control the ratio between reflection and transmittion.
I use the directlighting as my surface integrator. But because the default implementation about finding the intensity of light from sampling a point in bsdf always return zero. It makes the light coming from the splitter always become zero. So I design a special surface integrator for my system.
At the begining, I naively thinked what I wanted to solve was very easy to fulfill. During the implementaion, I spent much time on tracing the core of code in pbrt and reading the material about all the topics related to this problem. Although it was such a painful process, this experience made me more clearly know the structure of pbrt and how to implement, like ligth and material.
Thanks for this amazing course could be teached by a knowledgeable instructor. Also thanks for my luck, it makes me have this opportunity to have a most wonderful course. This course gives me the whole idea about how to synthesize the real-like image based on physics of light.

NRA Drops Suit Over San Francisco Branding it a ‘Terror Group’
by NICHOLAS IOVINOSAN FRANCISCO (CN) – The National Rifle Association dropped its lawsuit challenging San Francisco’s decision to label it a terrorist group Thursday, a move both sides touted as a legal victory.
“We’re pleased the NRA backed down on its frivolous lawsuit,” San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said in a statement Thursday.
The NRA sued San Francisco on Sept. 9, six days after the city’s Board of Supervisors passed a unanimous resolution declaring the NRA a domestic terror organization. The resolution also called for taking steps to “limit those entities who do business with the city and county of San Francisco from doing business with this domestic terrorist organization.”
Before the board passed the resolution on Sept. 3, San Francisco Supervisor Catherine Stefani stated at a city meeting that “the NRA exists to spread disinformation and knowingly puts weapons in the hands of those who would harm and terrorize us by blocking common-sense gun violence prevention legislation.” Stefani sponsored the resolution.
In its lawsuit, the NRA called the resolution an “unconstitutional abridgement” of its First Amendment right to free expression. It sought a court order to block the city from taking any action that would diminish, terminate or interfere with its memberships, sponsorships, contracts and business relationships.
Some legal scholars predicted the NRA could have a strong case if the city were to cut ties with contractors that do business with the NRA.
UC Berkeley law professor Erwin Chemerinsky told Courthouse News in September that could be deemed as punishing people for their associations.
University of California-Hastings law professor David Levine said he didn’t think the NRA would get far in suing over a “secondary boycott.”
“I don’t think the NRA can do much about it,” Levine said. “I think a better plaintiff would be a vendor saying you can’t do this to us.”
At the end of September, San Francisco Mayor London Breed issued a memo clarifying that the resolution was “non-binding” and stating that no department would take steps to assess relationships between city contractors and the NRA or to restrict any contractors based on their work with the NRA.
In a statement Thursday, the NRA’s lawyer, William Brewer III, framed the mayor’s late September memo as a major concession and legal victory.
“As has been widely reported, after the Association challenged the unconstitutional resolution, the City beat a hasty retreat and backed down from its wildly illegal blacklisting scheme,” Brewer said.
But the city’s attorney insisted it was the NRA that backed down. Herrera said the lawsuit was intended to silence legitimate criticism regarding the group’s role in a “gun violence epidemic” gripping the nation.
“If the NRA doesn’t want to be publicly condemned for its actions, it should stop sabotaging common sense gun safety regulations that would protect untold numbers of Americans every year, like universal background checks, an assault weapons ban and restrictions on high-capacity magazines,” Herrera said.
Brewer said the lawsuit put “the censors” on notice, adding the NRA will “always fight to protect the Constitution,” including the First and Second Amendments.
He said the NRA will re-file if the city “tries anything like this in the future.”
This isn’t the first time San Francisco used the power of its purse to boycott entities that promote or enact policies deemed inconsistent with its progressive values. In July, the city expanded a ban on government-sponsored travel to states with anti-LGBT laws to include states that have passed restrictive abortion laws.
The NRA filed its notice of voluntary dismissal in U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg’s court Thursday afternoon.

Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The most surprising thing about the we-must-lose-our-virginity-before-we- graduate comedy, "American Pie," is what goes on beneath the burlesque. How often do you see a film of this type where one of the male leads tells his buddies that he is tired of the endless chatter about getting laid, adding that he's going to visit with a young woman because "at least she knows how to talk about something besides sex." What a refreshing statement to hear.
I laughed at most of the raunchy gags in "American Pie," but found them less shocking than promised by the advance hype.
 Speaking of which, it may seem utterly ridiculous to think practically about this sort of thing, but I couldn't help wondering exactly how this guy expected to successfully masturbate with an apple pie. I mean, where's the friction, for Pete's Sake?
Most of the comedy in "American Pie" revolves around the embarrassment that comes with sex; from being caught in a compromising position to the awkwardness of the act itself. Fair enough, sexuality is a funny subject. But how about a little internal logic? Too many punchlines depend on situations that would never have occurred had the involved characters simply locked their door. While everyone fears public humiliation, teenagers are even more sensitive about potentially embarrassing situations, often to the point of paranoia. A teenager locks the door before masturbating in his room. Hell, a teenager locks the door before listening to CDs in his room. And I guarantee you, if a kid decided to have a sexual liaison with baked goods, he would not do so in broad daylight in his parent's kitchen. Jokes work better in at least a semi- realistic context and, too often, "American Pie" forgets that crucial point.
Still, the film is funny. The young cast (particularly pie-boy Jason Biggs) displays a nice gift for comedy and "SCTV" veteran Eugene Levy is a riot as the ultimate understanding father. But I enjoyed the relationships in the film more than the rude and crude shenanigans. Some of the pairings have a disarming, and very welcome, sweetness. When lacrosse player Oz (Chris Klein) sets his sights on young Heather (Mena Suvari), he tries to feign a sensitive side to win a place in her bed. Along the way, he discovers that he likes the man he is pretending to be.
The romantic story arc of Oz and Heather is the heart of the movie, thanks in large part to the magic of the actors. Chris Klein (Matthew Broderick's candidate in "Election") is bound for stardom, with his clean cut good looks complimented by an open, unaffected screen presence and Mena Suvani, who shares a passing resemblance to Heather Graham, has the rare ability to project strength and vulnerability at the same time.
Natasha Lyonne, so wonderful in "The Slums of Beverly Hills," makes the most of her much smaller role here. As Jessica, she dispenses advice on all matters related to sex and romance, while being the only character not in a relationship. Lyonne is a terrific actor with a great earthy quality, effectively painting Jessica as a young woman using a persona of frankness to avoid real intimacy. She left me wanting to know more about what makes Jessica tick, quite an accomplishment in this context.
Within the generally strong cast, there are a few duds. As Stifler, the mandatory sexist jock, newcomer Seann W. Scott looks and sounds like a junior Jim Carrey, giving a one-dimensional, leering performance that never elevates his character above archetype status. Chris Owen, who was good as an outcast intellectual in "October Sky," is annoying here as a smarmy geek with delusions of grandeur.
"American Pie" succeeds because of the winning efforts of most of its cast, coupled with deft editing, especially during the aforementioned Internet peep show scene, which turns a retread gag from "Revenge of the Nerds" into a genuinely funny set piece.  "American Pie" is not as shocking as it desperately wants to be, but when it works, it works very well.

WADA sanctions are inappropriate and excessive: Russian Olympic Committee
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) sanctions against Russia are inappropriate and excessive, the president of Russia’s Olympic Committee Stanislav Pozdnyakov said on Monday after WADA banned the country from all major sporting events for four years.
WADA has banned Moscow from events including the next summer and winter Olympics and the 2022 soccer World Cup, for tampering with laboratory data on doping.
“The position of Russia’s Olympic Committee remains unchanged - sanctions are inadequate, illogical and excessive,” Pozdnyakov said.
“Of course, we are disappointed, but we initially assumed that the recommendations of the WADA Executive Committee would be approved without change, especially after the main points were made public.”
He also said the Russian Olympic Committee would do everything it could to enable Russian athletes to compete under the country’s flag at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
WADA’s executive committee acted after concluding that Moscow had planted fake evidence and deleted files linked to positive doping tests in laboratory data that could have helped identify drug cheats.

My number is tied with one other person's number to be the biggest number in the grid. Figures, my draft pick number is always high. | Do you wanna go for a trip?

Well I think it's nice to have someone pleasant in the world for a change. Get it? Hahaha. By the way, my number is perfect. | Everyone knows the postseason is when it counts, and I've taken that to heart on all my teams. Gotta stay chill, like a cucumber, when the pressure is on. My number appears exactly twice in my row and exactly twice in my column. |
| Rah rah rah! In some ways, I look a lot like the guy two cells to the right. I have quite an improbable history, but I'm always high-spirited. My upper and lower neighbors' numbers sum to my right-hand neighbor's number. Rah rah rah! | Maybe it's because I wear a monocle always, or because of my strange shape, but I'm always running into everyone. I've been around over a hundred years. No relation to the guy to my right. I have the only odd number in my row. | I don't eat very much; I have to maintain my trim Hollywoo figure! My number has more holes than any of my neighbors' numbers. | I was replaced in 2001 by my Xtra sibling. Maybe it was because I'm always stepping on things or knocking them over. But even though I've been replaced, you should still care about me. I was born in Waco, TX. My number is the number of neighbors I have who have numbers less than three. | I like to sit on the couch all day. Sometimes I change up my shoes or eyes. But sometimes I can't be bothered at all to do anything. My number divides my neighbor to the top's number. | I may never say the correct thing, but everyone knows I'm the one you should marry. My number is the number of times my right neighbor's number appears in this row. | I AM IN CHARGE OF A HACKTIVIST ORGANIZATION.  DO YOU FANCY A SANDWICH? |

My number is achoo! composite. | All the kids love me, even though I'm secretly trying to trick them. My neighbors' numbers add to 16. Welcome to the neighborhood! | I appear in the film Back to the Future. My neighbors’ numbers sum to one less than the number of twos in the grid. | Ugh. I don't like you. I'm Captain Hook's right hand man. I've got more important things to do than talk to you. My four neighbors' numbers' product is 60. | Hmph, this new job in Washington sucks. Everyone else in my row have numbers that add up to 21. | Hmmm, oh yess, I was just thinking about, well, you know, having nice brown fur, a long trunk. Maybe I'm wandering through the streets. Oh, what if my best friend was a giant bird? Wouldn't that be nice? My neighbors' numbers' harmonic mean is 15/7. It's such a wonderful number :) | I live in Hanseong and I'm an activist. I never do anything wrong, ever. My number has a difference of one from exactly two of my three neighbors' numbers. |
| I pity the... wait where is everyone? My number appears 8 times in the grid. |
On the movie poster the perspective makes me look like
I'm bigger than the Golden Gate Bridge. But
really I'm just a detective. My number divides my column's sum but not my row's sum.
|
I... used... to... live... somewhere... much... nicer... until... it... got... taken... over... by... some... weasels... and... stoats. My... number... is... the... number... of... neighbors... I... have... with... even... numbers. | I ma eth osgettrns amn in het rdwlo! Veneeryo ni ym orw sha a brumne hatt sidived ym merbun. | My neighbor is a real menace, but I'm not scared of him! My number is the number of rows whose sum is 30. | They said it couldn't be done, but I did it! I showed how science lets you do so many things, that they gave me my own world! I have the same number as exactly one of my neighbors. | Don't you think I'm smart for coming up with this global nickname for myself? At least it's better than being called a dog. My number is the number of times my number appears in the grid. What an astute clue that is! |

Provides low-level access to 'GDAL' functionality for R packages. The aim is to minimize the level of interpretation put on the 'GDAL' facilities, to enable direct use of it for a variety of purposes. 'GDAL' is the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' a translator for raster and vector geospatial data formats that presents a single raster abstract data model and single vector abstract data model to the calling application for all supported formats <http://gdal.org/>. Other available packages 'rgdal' and 'sf' also provide access to the 'GDAL' library, but neither can be used for these lower level tasks, and both do many other tasks.

2 Data science and the service standards
Although all of these standards are relevant to data science teams I will now outline those that are most relevant within data science and briefly talk about their importance
2.1 Make the service simple to use
// TODO
2.2 Team with multidisciplinary skills and perspectives
The digital, data, and technology https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/digital-data-and-technology-profession-capability-framework provides an outline of the types of roles present within an effective digital/ data/ technology team, which comprise:
- Data job family
- IT operations job family
- Product and delivery job family
- Quality assurance testing (QAT) job family
- Technical job family
- User-centred design job family
All of these roles are relevant to an effective data science offering in the NHS, although depending on the size of the team and the project it may be that they interact with other teams to access some of these skills (for example, in the technical job family, which includes DevOps, or in the IT job family, which includes service desk operatives).
Following is an outline of the types of skills one would expect to find within a data science team. From the data job family data engineer and data scientist are the key roles. An effective data science team would ordinarily be expected to include individuals with skills in these areas. The other skillsets in this family are data analyst and performance analyst.
Data analysts and analysts are an important adjunct to an effective data science team but will not necessarily be part of the team itself.
Data analysts:
- "apply tools and techniques for data analysis and data visualisation (including the use of business information tools)
- identify, collect and migrate data to and from a range of systems
- manage, clean, abstract and aggregate data alongside a range of analytical studies on that data
- manipulate and link different data sets
- summarise and present data and conclusions in the most appropriate format for users"
Performance analysts: >…develop performance measurement frameworks - key performance indicators (KPIs), goals, user needs and benefits - and analyse the performance of a service or product against these, adapting your approach and framework appropriately and in line with any changes
The synergy with these roles and those of an effective data science team should be clear. Data and performance analysts take metrics and methodologies that have been developed and productionised by the data science team (as well as preexisting data reports) and deliver them across the organisation
They make use of dashboards, regular and ad hoc reports and ensure that these measures are used and understood throughout the organisation. For the purposes of this discussion it is enough to say that the difference between the two roles is one of emphasis- with data analysts focused on bringing stakeholders new information and insight from across the organisation and performance analysts on ensuring that performance targets are met and liaising with teams and senior managers when they find that performance is not being met in a particular area. For a fuller discussion of these roles see this discussion of the data job family.
It should be clear, therefore, that the work of data scientists can only be brought effectively to bear on an organisation when used in conjunction with data and performance analyst skills. Effective data science teams which do not include these skills, therefore, (which some will), should have a close and mutually supportive relationship with a team which does.
It is worth noting that all of these skills do not have to be within one individual in the data science team, and nor does each skill have to be found in only one member of the team. Effective teams can have individuals who have a broad skillset fulfilling several of these roles and/ or “specialists” who are highly experienced within a narrow domain and fulfil this role only in the team.
2.3 Agile
Agile methods are widely used in data science and they are extremely helpful in making sure that the analyses and data products that are used meet user specifications as well as ensure that they are thoroughly tested in a live context before deployment. The key message from agile methods is that:
iterative, user-centred ways of working will help you get your service in front of real users as soon as possible. Then observing and analysing data on how they use it, and iterating the service based on what you’ve learned. Because you’re not specifying everything up front before you’ve developed an understanding of what users need, you will reduce the risk of delivering the wrong thing
Following on from the points made previously about multidisciplinary working it is worth noting that Agile Data Science (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/agile-data-science/9781491960103/ch01.html) states that agile data science teams favour:
- Choosing generalists over specialists
- Preferring small teams over large teams
There are eleven different job roles listed within Agile Data Science, and the author argues that having these roles fulfilled by individuals whose skill spans two or three of these roles can contribute to the agility of a team and reduce the overheads that large, specialised teams can suffer from, such as the need for each role to effectively communicate with other similar roles (e.g experience designer, interaction designer, and web developer).
NHS service standard number 6 (multidisciplinary teams) explicitly states that teams must “includes people with expertise in how services are delivered across all the relevant channels, and the back end systems the service will need to integrate with”. To make such a team small and agile, it is often preferable for individuals to span several roles, some spanning front end activities (data scientists with experience in UX and web design) and some back end activities (data scientists who can do some or all of their own data engineering).
Agile methods are covered in more detail in chapter 3.
2.4 Respect and protect users’ confidentiality and privacy
This point is clearly highly germane in healthcare, and it’s worth noting that the rapid prototyping and lack of career specialisation inherent in much of data science do increase the risks that mistakes will be made with user data. This part of the service standard lists many obligations, including:
- actively identify security and privacy threats to the service and have a robust, proportionate approach to securing information and managing fraud risks
- have a plan and budget that lets you manage security during the life of the service (for example, by responding to new threats, putting controls in place and applying security patches to software)
- work with business and information risk teams (for example, senior information risk owners and information asset owners) to make sure the service meets security requirements and regulations without putting delivery at risk
- carry out appropriate vulnerability and penetration testing
Early data science work (for example dashboards which do not contain identifiable data, delivered within an organisation’s firewall) may not require strict adherence to these guidelines, but the danger is that as the scope of a programme of work widens these issues become relevant and the data science team do not take the appropriate steps to ensure that they bring on board security and governance specialists who can ensure that data is processed and delivered to endusers securely.
2.5 Make new source code open
Although the advantages of using open source technologies and of open sourcing new technologies have been known for decades (see, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar), and government policy has encouraged the production and use of open source within the public sector for ten years or more there has been surprisingly little progress in this area. The NHS is still overwhelmingly dependent on expensive, proprietary software, giving rise to vendor lock in as well as wasting public money. Anecdotal reports suggest even that many IT departments are reluctant to install the statistical programming language R, an absurd situation given its widespread adoption and use across industry and academia.
At the same time, NHS organisations are still very reluctant to open source any code produced by their staff or by agencies subcontracted by NHS organisations. Open sourcing new code is important enough to warrant its own chapter (see chapter 4), for the present time it will suffice to quote from the NHS service standard:
“Public services are built with public money. So unless there’s a good reason not to, the code they’re based should be made available for other people to reuse and build on. Open source code can save teams duplicating effort and help them build better services faster. And publishing source code under an open licence means that you’re less likely to get locked in to working with a single supplier”


JOINT VENTURE
SAVING GRACE
Directed by Nigel Cole
Screenplay by Craig Ferguson & Mark Crowdy With Brenda Blethyn, Craig Ferguson
(Theater) R 93 min.
There's an inexhaustible mine of humor to be found in the oddball characters of small-town Britain when the material is handled right, and director Nigel Cole does just that with this virtuously naughty tale of good folks and contraband horticulture.
Grace Trevathan (Brenda Blethyn of Little Voice and Secrets & Lies) has no more than buried her husband when she finds out the bastard checked out with a mountain of debt that is now hers. Pretty soon they're carting out the furniture, and she's about to lose the grand house in Cornwall where until now she's lived without a care in the world, tending her prize-winning garden.
A way out turns up in the form of a sickly marijuana plant. Her gardener (Craig Ferguson of TV's The Drew Carey Show, who co-wrote and coproduced) asks her advice on restoring his ailing cash crop to health. Pretty soon they've got a greenhouse full of the stuff, grown hydroponically and thriving (the filmmakers got government sanction to use real marijuana, but no plants were harmed in the making of this movie.) The next step is to get a dealer, and Grace travels to London to find one. Protected by her impenetrable combination of pluckiness and naivete, not to mention a stunning white leisure suit, she beards the den of the enjoyably sleazy Jacques (Tcheky Karyo of Patriot), wins him over, and..
To make a long story short, she lives happily ever after. Of course, certain concessions to popular morality have to be made, but that's no problem for these folks. Blethyn is a wonderful actress who hits every note with perfect pitch, Ferguson adds an appealing Scots scruffiness, and the supporting cast is filled with crafty pros who know just how to take this well-worn material and make you grin at it all over again. Beautifully photographed Cornwall adds to the enjoyment.
Saving Grace is in the tradition of movies like The Full Monty and Saving Ned Devine, and the old Ealing Studio classics like Tight Little Island, and while it doesn't take that tradition to any new levels, it doesn't let it down.

execution order
The following functions provide the facility to inject JavaScript function objects into Thymol run-time processing sequence. These will be executed at predefined points in the Thymol life cycle.
thymol.ready = function(func)
The ready function adds code that will be executed as soon as all Thymol code has been loaded and is ready for execution. The order of processing of these code units is the same as their order of definition.
This function is useful for establishing code and/or data that needs to be globally available to Thymol at run-time. e.g. You can use thymol.ready to inject JavaScript that you might otherwise have added using the data-thymol-load <script> attribute mechanism.
thymol.configurePreExecution = function(func)
This function injects code that will be executed just before the start of template processing.
This feature is useful if you want to add code that has some dependency on code or data that is added by "data-thymol-load" or by use of the thymol.ready function.
thymol.configurePostExecution = function(func)
This function injects code that will be executed just after the end of template processing.
This function is useful for housekeeping operations such as recovering resources or deleting/adding content from/to the session context.
example
thymol.ready(function () {
thymol.configurePreExecution( function() {
thymol.sessionContext.createVariable("a","Some text");
thymol.sessionContext.createVariable("b",123);
thymol.sessionContext.createVariable("c","Hello");
});
thymol.configurePostExecution( function() {
thymol.sessionContext = [];
});
});

--- layout: post title: The top 0.5% fallacy published: true --- Joel on Software - Thursday, January 27, 2005


Poor scribblers whose efforts are repeatedly rejected find solace from cases such as William Golding, who sent the manuscript of his first novel to more than twenty publishers before it was eventually accepted. Although stubborn persistence can sometimes pay off, the example of Golding demonstrates that, when a sympathetic editor offers advice, it can be wise to take it.  He also changed the original title, Lard Of The Flues.

Iggy Azalea's home she shares with boyfriend Playboi Carti was robbed
Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti had over $350,000 worth of jewellery stolen from them when their home was broken into.
According to reports, Iggy’s Atlanta home she shares with her US rapper boyfriend was robbed on Sunday, with sources claiming to TMZ that jewellery totalling to $366,000 (£285,000) was taken.
The insider claims missing items include rings, bracelets, watches, earrings, chains and a diamond engagement ring.
Rumours have been circling that Iggy and Playboi are engaged, ever since she was seen with a ring on her wedding finger, but the couple are yet to address the speculation.
Iggy was previously engaged to basketball player Nick Young.
TMZ reports that Iggy informed police officials that she was alone in the house at the time of the burglary.
She claims to have heard footsteps in the house, but thought nothing of it at the time, and said she had left the back door to the house unlocked for Playboi.
Advertisement Advertisement
Metro.co.uk have reached out to Iggy’s rep.
Iggy and Playboi, real name Jordan Terrell Carter, have been dating since September last year and moved in together in Atlanta just two months later.
The couple are known for keeping their relationship pretty private and away from social media, but speaking to Fader back in June, Playboi said of Iggy: ‘Once I started talking to her, I just cut off everybody. It was over with.’
Iggy, meanwhile, publicly addressed their romance a few months ago while hitting back at criticism over the six-year age gap between herself and Playboi – Iggy is six years older than him.
The Fancy hit-maker posted online: ‘Is that unusual to you? Because almost everyone I know isn’t the exact age as the person they date.
 We are both in our twenties, get off my nuts.’

In Chapter 4, "Working with Databases and Database Objects," we also saw that workloads in a client/server environment can be moved from the client to the sever by creating one or more stored procedures. Once a stored procedure has been created and registered with a database (by executing the CREATE PROCEDURE SQL statement), that procedure can be invoked, either interactively, using a utility such as the Command Line Processor, or from a client application. Stored procedures are invoked by executing the CALL SQL statement. The basic syntax for this statement is:
where:
|
ProcedureName |
Identifies the name assigned to the procedure to be invoked. |
|
InputValue |
Identifies one or more parameter values that are to be passed to the procedure being invoked. |
|
OutputParameter |
Identifies one or more parameter markers or host variables that are to receive return values from the procedure being invoked. |
Suppose an SQL stored procedure named GET_SALES was created by executing a CREATE PROCEDURE statement that looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE get_sales (IN quota INTEGER, OUT retcode CHAR(5)) DYNAMIC RESULT SETS 1 LANGUAGE SQL BEGIN DECLARE sqlstate CHAR(5); DECLARE sales_results CURSOR WITH RETURN FOR SELECT sales_person, SUM(sales) AS total_sales FROM sales GROUP BY sales_person HAVING SUM(sales) > quota; DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION SET retcode = sqlstate; OPEN sales_results; SET retcode = sqlstate; END
This procedure could be invoked from the Command Line Processor by connecting to the appropriate database and executing a CALL statement that looks like this:
CALL get_sales (25, ?)
If you created this procedure and executed this statement after connecting to the SAMPLE database provided with DB2, the value 25 would be passed to the input parameter named QUOTA, and a question mark (?) would be used as a place-holder for the value that will be returned in the output parameter named RETCODE. The procedure would then execute the SQL statements contained in it and return information that looks something like this:
Value of output parameters --------------------------- Parameter Name : RETCODE Parameter Value : 00000 Result set 1 ----------- SALES_PERSON TOTAL_SALES ------------ ------------ GOUNOT 50 LEE 91 2 record(s) selected. Return Status = 0


I give Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
4 Because you are precious in my eyes,
and honored, and I love you,
I give men in return for you,
peoples in exchange for your life.
5 Fear not, for I am with you;
I will bring your offspring from the east,
and from the west I will gather you.
6 I will say to the north, Give up,
and to the south, Do not withhold;
bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the end of the earth,
7 everyone who is called by my name,
whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
8 Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes,
who are deaf, yet have ears!
9 All the nations gather together,
and the peoples assemble.
Who among them can declare this,
and show us the former things?
Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right,
and let them hear and say, It is true.
10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“and my servant whom I have chosen,
that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nor shall there be any after me.
11 I, I am the LORD,
and besides me there is no savior.
12 I declared and saved and proclaimed,
when there was no strange god among you;
and you are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and I am God.
13 Also henceforth I am he;
there is none who can deliver from my hand;
I work, and who can turn it back?”
14 Thus says the LORD,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I send to Babylon
and bring them all down as fugitives,
even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One,
the Creator of Israel, your King.”
16 Thus says the LORD,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters,
17 who brings forth chariot and horse,
army and warrior;
they lie down, they cannot rise,
they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
18 “Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
20 The wild beasts will honor me,
the jackals and the ostriches,
for I give water in the wilderness,
rivers in the desert,
to give drink to my chosen people,
21 the people whom I formed for myself
that they might declare my praise.
22 “Yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
23 You have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
or honored me with your sacrifices.


===Employees===
Persons working directly for the company under a part-time or full-time contract. In general they are not regarded as posing a severe threat as most of them are relying on the company
to make a living and, assuming they are treated well, are inclined to protect the company rather than to hurt it. Oftentimes involved in data loss incidents or accidental compromise. In
rare cases they may be motivated by outsiders to assist in intrusions or they may engage in malicious acts on their own (e.g. rogue traders). While the skill level may vary, it is usually low
to medium.
