Mutual Funds’ asset base hit all time high of Rs 27 lakh crore on inflow in debt schemes
by PTIBy: PTI | New Delhi | Published: December 9, 2019 5:36:45 pm
Among debt-oriented schemes, overnight funds — invest in securities with a maturity of one day– received flows worth about Rs 20,650 crore, the highest among the fixed-income segment last month. (Representational image)
Mutual fund industry saw its assets base surpassing Rs 27 lakh crore-mark in November-end on the back of inflows in debt-oriented schemes including banking and PSU funds, which have a high allocation to highest rated bonds.
The 44-player industry logged an assets under management (AUM) of Rs 26.33 lakh crore in October-end, as compared to Rs 27.04 lakh crore by November end, representing a growth of 3 per cent, according to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi).
Mutual fund houses witnessed an overall inflow of Rs 54,419 crore last month as compared to Rs 1.33 lakh crore in October.
Fund managers attributed growth in the asset base to strong inflows of around Rs 51,000 crore in debt-oriented schemes.
Among debt-oriented schemes, overnight funds — invest in securities with a maturity of one day– received flows worth about Rs 20,650 crore, the highest among the fixed-income segment last month.
Apart from this, banking & PSU funds received funds to the tune of Rs 7,230 crore, while Rs 6,938 crore was infused in liquid funds, with investments in cash assets such as treasury bills, certificates of deposit and commercial paper for shorter horizon.
The open-ended equity schemes witnessed an infusion of Rs 1,312 crore, while there was an outflow of Rs 379 crore in close-ended equity plans, taking total equity inflows to Rs 933 crore last month. In October, net inflow in such schemes stood at Rs 6,015 crore.
“While, equity net inflows have come down sharply in November, partly due to investors booking profits, the overall mutual fund industry AUM reached an all-time high of Rs 27 Lakh crore,” AMFI CEO N S Venkatesh said.
“Goal-based, long term systematic investment plan (SIP) investments from retail investors continue to grow steadily, with SIP AUM at an all-time high at Rs 3.12 lakh crore,” he added.
Besides, gold exchange-traded funds saw an inflow of over Rs 7 crore after witnessing an outflow of Rs 31.45 crore in October.
Prior to that, the safe-heaven asset saw an infusion of Rs 44 crore in September and Rs 145 crore in August.

Recently, the provider which I used for many years and which I was happy enough to not touch martin-thoma.de, moved. I had to change all my database credentials, so during the migration everything broke. And they just left a notice "by the way, you have to pay 12x the price as you use too much space in the MySQL database".
So I talked with a good friend about it and realized that I might not need the database at all anymore.
In this article, I document how I moved.
Wiki
I had an internal MediaWiki which I used to store notes. Nothing fancy, it was public in the beginning and started with notes for school. Back then, I didn't know git and I'm not quite sure if GitHub existed back then.
This wiki always caused me headaches:
- Security: Almost all things in there were no issue at all of anybody sees them, but some I would prefer to stay private. So I need to make sure that the overall system is save.
- Stability: Can I keep this thing running? What happens if my provider
updates the PHP version? Remember, that thing was pretty old and I had to
update the MediaWiki version once. That was not so nice. Also, how can I make
backups? In the beginning, I couldn't access the database with the
mysql
client (might have bin lacking knowledge; I don't remember) - Media
- Bugs: I had one or two big images (over 2000px x 2000px) which were only partially uploaded. I will never get them back.
- Time: Uploading actually is a bit time consuming as you have to do it file by file
- Markup: I don't like the Wiki-Markup. I prefer Github Flavored Markdown with HTML for anything more complex.
The solution now seemed simple: Migrate the content to a git repository!
This way I can back it up like I do with other local files, I don't have it online so the risk of it being exposed is way smaller, I can use markdown, uploading Media is only copying a file. I like it 🙂
During the migration I've also realized that his Wiki has a big overlap with my blog. Only that I can very easily see the contents of my blog. And a lot of the content was super outdated or even riddiculous. For example, I listed a lot of Open Source software with their licenses once. I have no idea why.
Most pages I've linked to were dead - the domains still existed, but the page was moved. Astonishingly, the student pages seemed to be quite reliable. YouTube, in contrast, was almost always unavailable. So much about "the internet does not forget".
In total, it was 30 MB of data in 256 files. Lots of them were low-resolution images.
Interesting Stuff I found
How do crazy people go through the forest? They take the Psychopath!
How do you get holy water?
In 2010 I already described how newspapers work nowadays:
- Have a website with a subscription model
- Build a profile of readers
- Recommend articles
- Let people also pay for single articles
I'm not 100% certain, but I think this was either uncommon or didn't exist back then.
There is another reason I used the wiki. Sometimes I needed to see diffs and I didn't know meld then 😄
write-math.com
I had a bit weird solution here:
- 5.00 USD / month for a Digital Ocean Droplet where the machine learning stuff was running
- 13.16 USD / year for .com domain renewal at namecheap
- 30.73 EUR / year for the database - this is the one I used for multiple things and also the one I want to get rid of
So you could say that I paid about 100 EUR / year for write-math.com.
I switched to Namecheap "Stellar" shared server hosting. They use cPanel and 3.7.3. This way I can remove the Digital Ocean droplet and instead run it at Namecheap. I removed the need for the database entirely.
Now I pay 17.28 USD/year for the hosting and 13.16 USD for the domain. So 30.44 USD / year or about 28 EUR / year.
SSH
First thing to do was to add my SSH key - only the public one (docs). Then go to the "Manage Shell" part, "Enable SSH access" and "authorize" the added key.
Now you can access it via
ssh USER@SERVER --port=PORT
- USER: cPanel username
- SERVER: hostname/IP of the server you are connecting to
- PORT: 21098 for a Shared server
Python
Setting up a Python app via cPanel is easy. Basically it creates a virtual environment for you. They use an Apache Webserver with Phusion Passenger
There is a passengar_wsgi.py

- https://www.phusionpassenger.com/docs/tutorials/quickstart/python/
I was a bit confused because there was a wsgi.py automatically created which
overwrote my wsgi.py. Luckily, I use git and could simply run git checkout .
AWS
If you want to run the website on AWS, you have to pay at least one EC2 instance.
With t2.small
, this would be 0.023 USD/h which means 10.08 USD / month
(EC2 prices). You might
also want to use AWS RDS which is pretty expensive. You can also register
domains via AWS Route 53.
It's 9 USD / year for .de domains and 12 USD / year for .com domains
A guide by AWS would lead to 450 USD/month for hosting a Wordpress blog.
Craigerson says that he pays only around 11 USD per month.
Other Hosting Services
They differ in:
- Time to first byte: That is pretty high for namecheap
- Price per month
- Availability

- https://www.bluehost.com/hosting/shared

Martin Lewis' trick will give every Brit a free £175 before Christmas - and it couldn't be easier
If you fancy bagging an extra couple of hundred pounds, you'd do well to follow the Money Saving Expert founder's advice
by Kieran MurrayIt's that time before Christmas when money is in short supply with cash-strapped families desperately trying to make their pennies stretch further.
If you're worried about affording presents for your kids, parents or Secret Santa colleague, do not fear.
Martin Lewis has a handy trick for every Brit - and it means you could bag yourself a free £175 (yes, a FREE £175).
So, if you fancy bagging an extra couple of hundred, you'd do well to follow the Money Saving Expert founder's advice.
Martin, a financial guru who has become a household name thanks to his handy tricks, tips and hacks, has his own ITV1 show.
And he also regularly appears on a string of ITV daytime favourites, from Good Morning Britain and This Morning to Lorraine.
His latest advice, issued to Brits across the country, will earn you a welcome windfall of just under £200.
All you need to do is switch bank accounts, as currently four banks will pay you to join them.
"Switching only takes seven working days, and with most, you can get the bonus within a month of that," Martin says.
"That's about 40 days, meaning it's still possible to bag the cash before 25 December, though even if you don't quite make that date, you'll have it to ease the Jan squeeze - when the gap between paydays is long."
Martin says switch to any of these four accounts NOW:
HSBC Advance

MEMENTO A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 2001 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
Amnesia and a murder mystery? Isn't this usually the kind of thing that hackneyed thrillers are made of -- stuff like Unforgettable, so bad you had to scrape it off your shoe the minute you left the theater?
Usually it is. But Memento proves that a skilled director, writer, and cast can take even the most tired of formulas -- the man with the lost memory -- and spin it into something so refreshingly different and new that I don't hesitate to call it one of the best films I've ever seen.
As the picture opens, we are presented with the face of Leonard (L.A. Confidential's Guy Pearce in a daring yet comfortable performance), a tormented man on an unexplained quest of vengeance. And he's got it: In the first scene he is pulling the trigger to blow open the head of a guy named Teddy (Joe Pantoliano). Soon the facts rise to the surface: Leonard was searching for the man who killed his wife, and Teddy was the prime suspect. Only there's a twist: Due to a head injury, Leonard has no short-term memory and cannot create any new ones -- his mind is stuck on the day his wife was killed.
To deal with this, Leonard has generated an intricate replacement for his mind. For immediate needs, he snaps Polaroids of people and places, jotting notes on the back. For long-term goals, he has messages to himself tattooed on his body (for example: "Find him and kill him").
Heavy stuff. Leonard's problem is so unfathomable and complex it is a constant struggle for him just to get through daily life -- much less if you're thigh-deep in a revenge scheme. All of a sudden -- pop -- here's Leonard, on the run through a trailer park. But is he chasing that guy, or is that guy chasing him? It's deliciously complicated and so circular that it's fun.
But wait, there's more! Soon enough we find that the whole film is presented in reverse (not backwards -- the scenes are reordered from end to beginning). While the movie begins with the death of Teddy, it traces back through time as we learn how we arrived at that point. Think Betrayal meets The Fugitive.
In other words, we know how the movie ends, but not how it begins. And thanks to Leonard's condition, the audience knows what's happening (well, sort of), but his character doesn't. Eventually it becomes clear that Leonard is an unwitting patsy being used at the hands of those even more nefarious than himself.
It's deeper than you can make a gimmick like this sound -- and to be honest, it is just a gimmick -- but it's a gimmick that works. The movie, written and directed by Christopher Nolan (and based on his brother's short story) is vibrant and harrowing, unpredictable despite an ending long since given away. Unfathomably, the film gets progressively better as it goes along, and I found myself inching closer and closer to the edge of my seat throughout the movie.
It's difficult to put Memento's staggering festival raves out of mind, but this is the genuine article, I assure you. Those niggling questions -- Would the movie work if it wasn't told in reverse? If Leonard can't remember anything since his accident, how does he know he has the condition at all? -- only serve to make the story that much more twisty, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Ultimately, Memento stands on its own as a thriller, but it also works as a profound tragedy, stunning in its portrayal of a man teetering on the edge, though he doesn't even know it. It asks some serious questions about how we know what to believe, since our senses and our memory all lie to us.
And in the end, Memento gives us our answer: We simply believe what we choose to.

Manchester Arena attack: GMP accused of jeopardising inquiry start
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has been accused of jeopardising the start of the public inquiry into the Manchester Arena bomb attack.
The force was criticised for missing a deadline to provide statements from officers in command on the night of the May 2017 blast in which 22 people died.
"It has been a huge undertaking for GMP involving an enormous amount of material," said the force's barrister.
The inquiry is due to begin on 6 April 2020.
Twenty two people were killed and hundreds injured when a device was detonated at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May, 2017.
The victims' inquests were turned into a public inquiry in October so that secret evidence could be heard behind closed doors.
Paul Greaney QC, counsel to the inquiry, told the hearing there was a second problem with "gaps" in the 550 hours of radio transmission recordings from the night of the bombing provided by GMP.
Twelve organisations have been asked to provide written statements to the inquiry's legal team.
GMP was said to be the only one not to have met the deadline.
'Not good enough'
Peter Weatherby QC, who is representing some of the bereaved families, said that they desperately wanted to have confidence in GMP but "the sorry tale is frankly not good enough".
The chairman of the inquiry, Sir John Saunders, warned the police that if there was a delay to the inquiry there would be "extremely extensive public criticism made of GMP".
He said it was "simply not fair to the families or to Manchester in general" but added "no comments should be made about lack of candour until we see the statements."
Fiona Barton QC, representing GMP, apologised to families in court for the delay.
One relative was heard to say that he did not accept the apology.
"This is not a piece of work GMP has sat on," she said.
"It's been a huge undertaking for GMP involving an enormous amount of material. GMP has done its best."
Ms Barton explained the statements had been delayed because the force had hundreds of officers on duty at the attack, and it had taken time to identify which ones should provide the evidence.
She said they were now in the process of being provided.
In relation to the missing radio recordings she explained that the force was undergoing a system update at the time of the bombing, and work was under way to find the audio.


PureMVC is a lightweight MVC framework originally written for Actionscript 3, but which has subsequently been ported to a host of other platforms. I’m a PureMVC fan boy. There is no denying it. Here are few reasons why:
Simplicity
There are a few MVC frameworks available for Actionscript 3. None of them are, well… as pure. PureMVC is simple by design. It doesn’t provide you with a lot of bells and whistles. What it does is provide a solid foundation upon which to add your own functionality in limitless ways. The framework itself is simple. ‘Make it as simple as possible, but no simpler,’ said Albert Einstein. This is one of the core goals of PureMVC.
Community
The PureMVC community is growing. The Architect’s Lounge has high signal to noise ratio. Cliff makes a super human effort to personally answer every question that is posted. Among the helpful community members is Chandima Cumaranatunge, the co-author of a book that anybody interested in OO Actionscript should own, Actionscript 3 Design Patterns.
Cliff has created the PureMVC Manifold Project, which provides a well crafted central location for official PureMVC releases, and a host of ports, demos, and utilities developed by the community. This wealth of information provides a high quality code base to use and learn from.
Reusability
As you can see by poking around the Manifold Project, there are a lot of utilities and modules already available. The basic structure of a PureMVC project naturally lends itself to the creation of common classes that can be reused across many projects. Major components don’t care who is sitting beside them. They happily wait for their notifications and respond without considering their neighbors. In some circles this would be considered rude, but in a PureMVC application this gives a wonderful, loosely couple application that can be refactored and recycled.
Portability
The port to Python is done! PureMVC is on Flex, Flash, AIR, FlashLite, Python, .NET, Windows Mobile, Silverlight, J2ME, SE, EE, JavaFX, PHP and ColdFusion. This speaks to the simplicity of the framework. It is so fundamental, that most of the ports were just straight translation.
Cliff
Cliff is samurai.  He is actively engaged with the community. On a daily basis he is on the forums answering questions. The structuring of the ever-expanding pile of resources and information into something useful is daunting task. There it is with the Manifold Project. It is inspiring to see someone so passionate about what they do, and channeling that passion back at anyone interested in learning.
Thanks Cliff, your efforts are greatly appreciated.

CHARACTER (director: Mike van Diem; cast: Fedja van Huet (Katadreuffe), Jan Decleir (Dreverhaven), Betty Shuurman (Joba Katadreuffe), Victor Low (De Gankelaar), Tamar van den Dop (Lorna te George), Hans Kesting (Jan Maan), 1997- Netherlands)
The somber experiences of a Dutch boy growing up during the 1930s in Rotterdam and raised by a house maid mother who refuses her employer's offer of marriage after he impregnates her after one time of lust.This dark story is a tale of revenge and hatred for these three characters, as they try to come to terms with each other. It is told in flashback, with a voice-over.
The boy (Fedja) succeeds and becomes a lawyer despite all the obstacles of a father's hatred, a mother's coldness and silence; and, his poverty and illegitimate birthright. In the opening scene, we are left with the impression that Fedja knifed his father to death. The police grill him and, thusly, his life story unfolds. We learn of the boy's character: how he is ruled by hatred for his father, making his life focus singularly on succeeding at any cost, even giving up his one chance for happiness by not courting the lovely bookkeeper (Tamar), who works in his office. We never get to fully understand his mother's (Betty) character, except that she is an enormously proud person, and shows great strength in raising her son without any help.   We don't know why, but she never has another man after her marriage refusal.
The father is the most feared bailiff in town, collecting debts and throwing people out of their homes when they fall behind in their payments. His character is shown by his motto: "The law is without compassion." His bravery is a result of his death wish, is the opinion of those who know him best. He is a man deeply tormented by troubling thoughts of demonic proportions, a character molded out of the Old Testament.
Fedja tries desperately to escape from his karma, but can't. The lawyer who hires him (Victor), believes in him and tries to show him some humanity, becoming his mentor and counsel in his bankruptcy hearings. But even he can't penetrate Fedja's severe emotional problems. The crux of the film is about the battle of wills between father and son, and how hatred reduces the family to have no future. The father is devastated by Betty's refusal to accept his marriage proposal. The mother has given up on life and has nothing more to give. And Fedja's pursuit of his goal, has left him in a hopeless situation, with no chance for securing love or happiness.
Tremendous emotional energy is brought to the screen by an excellent story and exceptionally fine performances.This a dark film, and it is grimly shot , reflecting this dire mood. What is troubling about the film, is that no alternative way out of this dilemma was explored. In any case, it is better this way than the usual sentimental Hollywood rags to riches treatment of such a story.This film is more in the spirit of reading someone like Dickens, with strong oedipal emotions added to the bleakness of the story, as it is adapted from a novel by Ferdinand Bordewijk .

Each time someone offered us anything, I shouted a number at them (as illustrated above), and stuck the corresponding number of fingers in front of their faces. Most people just looked bewildered. Others realised what I was doing, and wore a pretty peeved expression as I continued on past them.
Much more satisfying than plain ol' getting hassled, or than getting ripped off. Of course, I would only advise doing this in a reasonably safe city, like Cusco. But all up, I highly recommend this free and devious activity.


Typically, either the low-level I/O routines are used for debugging, or LEDs, if present. It is much easier to use GDb for debugging an application. There are several different techniques used to have GDB work remotely. Commonly more than one kind of GDB interface is used to cober a wide variety of development needs.
The most common style of GDB backend is an exception handler for
breakpoints. This is also called a gdb stub, and is requires the
two additional lines of init code in your main()
routine. The GDB
stubs all use the GDB remote protocol. When the application gets a
breakpoint exception, it communicates to GDB on the host.
Another common style of interfacing GDB to a target is by using an existing ROM monitor. These break down into two main kinds, a similar protocol to the GDB remote protocol, and an interface that uses the ROM monitor directly. This kind has GDB simulating a human operator, and all GDB does is work as a command formatter and parser.
| • GNU remote protocol: | The standard remote protocol. | |
| • Exception handler: | A linked in exception handler. | |
| • ROM monitors: | Using a ROM monitor as a backend. | |
| • Other remote protocols: | Adding support for new protocols. |


Tonto Dikeh deported from Dubai after having a fight in a Nightclub
by Qwame BenedictAward-winning Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has been deported from Dubai by the authorities after she got engaged in a fight at a popular nightclub.
According to a source, the actress attacked one of the security personnel guarding the nightclub which led to her arrest by the police and subsequent deportation.
The source revealed that it all started when she felt disrespected because she was ‘bounced’ whiles others were allowed to enter.
This got her to pour swear words and curses on the white security personnel.
Tonto Dikeh created a crazy scene that eventually caused her arrest on the night of Friday 15 November 2019.

| Jack Alexander (TA) "Hey, my name is Jack, and I’ve been looking forward to TAing this class for the whole year! I’m a master’s student in the Computer Science BS/MS program, where you get a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in five years (highly recommended). In the past, I’ve mentored in CS56 and CS190I, and last quarter I TAed CS184. As I said, I’ve wanted to TA an introductory CS class for quite a while, and I can’t wait to help guide you through the more advanced elements of C++ as well as your first complex data structures. Linked lists and binary search trees had something of a magical quality for me when I first learned them three years ago, and I hope you will have a similarly enthralling experience in this course" |

Sayali Kakade (Tutor)
"Hi everyone, I’m so excited to be one of your tutors for this upcoming quarter! I know this class can be daunting at times, and I’d love to help you with any concept that you might be unclear about, figure out how to approach the PAs, or even give you career or college advice (classes to take, internship advice, things unrelated to academics, etc). This class will set the foundation for your classes in the future so it’s very important to understand the material, and even if you need to ask the same question multiple times to really drive a point home, I never want you to feel afraid to ask me anything! If you see me around campus, feel free to say hi or reach out to me on Piazza. Hope you have a great quarter! :)" |
| Carly Larsson (Tutor) "Salutations and welcome to CS 16. In the next nine weeks we will both be learning something new: I will be tutoring CS 16 for the first time, and you all will be taking CS 16. I hope we can work together, and get as much computer science knowledge into our brains as possible. Currently I’m a third year CCS CS student, also enrolled in the MS/BS program. I’m the Treasurer for the Society of Women Engineers (S.W.E) and would love to recruit some new computer scientists! This coming summer and last summer, I interned as a Software Engineer at Microsoft. If you have questions about computer science, CS 16, internships, or S.W.E. please reach out to me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>" |

apply_parallel¶
-
skimage.util.
apply_parallel
(function, array, chunks=None, depth=0, mode=None, extra_arguments=(), extra_keywords={}, *, compute=None)[source]¶ Map a function in parallel across an array.
Split an array into possibly overlapping chunks of a given depth and boundary type, call the given function in parallel on the chunks, combine the chunks and return the resulting array.
- Parameters
- functionfunction
Function to be mapped which takes an array as an argument.
- arraynumpy array or dask array
Array which the function will be applied to.
- chunksint, tuple, or tuple of tuples, optional
A single integer is interpreted as the length of one side of a square chunk that should be tiled across the array. One tuple of length
array.ndim
represents the shape of a chunk, and it is tiled across the array. A list of tuples of lengthndim
, where each sub-tuple is a sequence of chunk sizes along the corresponding dimension. If None, the array is broken up into chunks based on the number of available cpus. More information about chunks is in the documentation here.- depthint, optional
Integer equal to the depth of the added boundary cells. Defaults to zero.
- mode{‘reflect’, ‘symmetric’, ‘periodic’, ‘wrap’, ‘nearest’, ‘edge’}, optional
type of external boundary padding.
- extra_argumentstuple, optional
Tuple of arguments to be passed to the function.
- extra_keywordsdictionary, optional
Dictionary of keyword arguments to be passed to the function.
- computebool, optional
If
True
, compute eagerly returning a NumPy Array. IfFalse
, compute lazily returning a Dask Array. IfNone
(default), compute based on array type provided (eagerly for NumPy Arrays and lazily for Dask Arrays).
- Returns
- outndarray or dask Array
Returns the result of the applying the operation. Type is dependent on the
compute
argument.
Notes
Numpy edge modes ‘symmetric’, ‘wrap’, and ‘edge’ are converted to the equivalent
dask
boundary modes ‘reflect’, ‘periodic’ and ‘nearest’, respectively. Settingcompute=False
can be useful for chaining later operations. For example region selection to preview a result or storing large data to disk instead of loading in memory.
compare_images¶
-
skimage.util.
compare_images
(image1, image2, method='diff', *, n_tiles=(8, 8))[source]¶ Return an image showing the differences between two images.
New in version 0.16.
- Parameters
- image1, image22-D array
Images to process, must be of the same shape.
- methodstring, optional
Method used for the comparison. Valid values are {‘diff’, ‘blend’, ‘checkerboard’}. Details are provided in the note section.
- n_tilestuple, optional
Used only for the checkerboard method. Specifies the number of tiles (row, column) to divide the image.
- Returns
- comparison2-D array
Image showing the differences.
Notes
'diff'
computes the absolute difference between the two images.'blend'
computes the mean value.'checkerboard'
makes tiles of dimension n_tiles that display alternatively the first and the second image.
Examples using skimage.util.compare_images
¶
crop¶
-
skimage.util.
crop
(ar, crop_width, copy=False, order='K')[source]¶ Crop array ar by crop_width along each dimension.
- Parameters
- ararray-like of rank N
Input array.
- crop_width{sequence, int}
Number of values to remove from the edges of each axis.
((before_1, after_1),
…(before_N, after_N))
specifies unique crop widths at the start and end of each axis.((before, after),)
specifies a fixed start and end crop for every axis.(n,)
orn
for integern
is a shortcut for before = after =n
for all axes.- copybool, optional
If True, ensure the returned array is a contiguous copy. Normally, a crop operation will return a discontiguous view of the underlying input array.
- order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional
If
copy==True
, control the memory layout of the copy. Seenp.copy
.
- Returns
- croppedarray
The cropped array. If
copy=False
(default), this is a sliced view of the input array.
dtype_limits¶
-
skimage.util.
dtype_limits
(image, clip_negative=False)[source]¶ Return intensity limits, i.e. (min, max) tuple, of the image’s dtype.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- clip_negativebool, optional
If True, clip the negative range (i.e. return 0 for min intensity) even if the image dtype allows negative values.
- Returns
- imin, imaxtuple
Lower and upper intensity limits.
img_as_bool¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_bool
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to boolean format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of bool (bool_)
Output image.
Notes
The upper half of the input dtype’s positive range is True, and the lower half is False. All negative values (if present) are False.
img_as_float¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_float
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to floating point format.
This function is similar to
img_as_float64
, but will not convert lower-precision floating point arrays to float64.- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of float
Output image.
Notes
The range of a floating point image is [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0] when converting from unsigned or signed datatypes, respectively. If the input image has a float type, intensity values are not modified and can be outside the ranges [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0].
img_as_float32¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_float32
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to single-precision (32-bit) floating point format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of float32
Output image.
Notes
The range of a floating point image is [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0] when converting from unsigned or signed datatypes, respectively. If the input image has a float type, intensity values are not modified and can be outside the ranges [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0].
img_as_float64¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_float64
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to double-precision (64-bit) floating point format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of float64
Output image.
Notes
The range of a floating point image is [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0] when converting from unsigned or signed datatypes, respectively. If the input image has a float type, intensity values are not modified and can be outside the ranges [0.0, 1.0] or [-1.0, 1.0].
img_as_int¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_int
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to 16-bit signed integer format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of uint16
Output image.
Notes
The values are scaled between -32768 and 32767. If the input data-type is positive-only (e.g., uint8), then the output image will still only have positive values.
img_as_ubyte¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_ubyte
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to 8-bit unsigned integer format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of ubyte (uint8)
Output image.
Notes
Negative input values will be clipped. Positive values are scaled between 0 and 255.
img_as_uint¶
-
skimage.util.
img_as_uint
(image, force_copy=False)[source]¶ Convert an image to 16-bit unsigned integer format.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- force_copybool, optional
Force a copy of the data, irrespective of its current dtype.
- Returns
- outndarray of uint16
Output image.
Notes
Negative input values will be clipped. Positive values are scaled between 0 and 65535.
invert¶
-
skimage.util.
invert
(image, signed_float=False)[source]¶ Invert an image.
Invert the intensity range of the input image, so that the dtype maximum is now the dtype minimum, and vice-versa. This operation is slightly different depending on the input dtype:
unsigned integers: subtract the image from the dtype maximum
signed integers: subtract the image from -1 (see Notes)
floats: subtract the image from 1 (if signed_float is False, so we assume the image is unsigned), or from 0 (if signed_float is True).
See the examples for clarification.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image.
- signed_floatbool, optional
If True and the image is of type float, the range is assumed to be [-1, 1]. If False and the image is of type float, the range is assumed to be [0, 1].
- Returns
- invertedndarray
Inverted image.
Notes
Ideally, for signed integers we would simply multiply by -1. However, signed integer ranges are asymmetric. For example, for np.int8, the range of possible values is [-128, 127], so that -128 * -1 equals -128! By subtracting from -1, we correctly map the maximum dtype value to the minimum.

montage¶
-
skimage.util.
montage
(arr_in, fill='mean', rescale_intensity=False, grid_shape=None, padding_width=0, multichannel=False)[source]¶ Create a montage of several single- or multichannel images.
Create a rectangular montage from an input array representing an ensemble of equally shaped single- (gray) or multichannel (color) images.
For example,
montage(arr_in)
called with the following arr_in1
2
3
will return
1
2
3
where the ‘*’ patch will be determined by the fill parameter.
- Parameters
- arr_in(K, M, N[, C]) ndarray
An array representing an ensemble of K images of equal shape.
- fillfloat or array-like of floats or ‘mean’, optional
Value to fill the padding areas and/or the extra tiles in the output array. Has to be float for single channel collections. For multichannel collections has to be an array-like of shape of number of channels. If mean, uses the mean value over all images.
- rescale_intensitybool, optional
Whether to rescale the intensity of each image to [0, 1].
- grid_shapetuple, optional
The desired grid shape for the montage (ntiles_row, ntiles_column). The default aspect ratio is square.
- padding_widthint, optional
The size of the spacing between the tiles and between the tiles and the borders. If non-zero, makes the boundaries of individual images easier to perceive.
- multichannelboolean, optional
If True, the last arr_in dimension is threated as a color channel, otherwise as spatial.
- Returns
- arr_out(K*(M+p)+p, K*(N+p)+p[, C]) ndarray
Output array with input images glued together (including padding p).
Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> from skimage.util import montage >>> arr_in = np.arange(3 * 2 * 2).reshape(3, 2, 2) >>> arr_in # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE array([[[ 0, 1], [ 2, 3]], [[ 4, 5], [ 6, 7]], [[ 8, 9], [10, 11]]]) >>> arr_out = montage(arr_in) >>> arr_out.shape (4, 4) >>> arr_out array([[ 0, 1, 4, 5], [ 2, 3, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 5, 5], [10, 11, 5, 5]]) >>> arr_in.mean() 5.5 >>> arr_out_nonsquare = montage(arr_in, grid_shape=(1, 3)) >>> arr_out_nonsquare array([[ 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9], [ 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11]]) >>> arr_out_nonsquare.shape (2, 6)

random_noise¶
-
skimage.util.
random_noise
(image, mode='gaussian', seed=None, clip=True, **kwargs)[source]¶ Function to add random noise of various types to a floating-point image.
- Parameters
- imagendarray
Input image data. Will be converted to float.
- modestr, optional
One of the following strings, selecting the type of noise to add:
‘gaussian’ Gaussian-distributed additive noise.
- ‘localvar’ Gaussian-distributed additive noise, with specified
local variance at each point of image.
‘poisson’ Poisson-distributed noise generated from the data.
‘salt’ Replaces random pixels with 1.
- ‘pepper’ Replaces random pixels with 0 (for unsigned images) or
-1 (for signed images).
- ‘s&p’ Replaces random pixels with either 1 or low_val, where
low_val is 0 for unsigned images or -1 for signed images.
- ‘speckle’ Multiplicative noise using out = image + n*image, where
n is uniform noise with specified mean & variance.
- seedint, optional
If provided, this will set the random seed before generating noise, for valid pseudo-random comparisons.
- clipbool, optional
If True (default), the output will be clipped after noise applied for modes ‘speckle’, ‘poisson’, and ‘gaussian’. This is needed to maintain the proper image data range. If False, clipping is not applied, and the output may extend beyond the range [-1, 1].
- meanfloat, optional
Mean of random distribution. Used in ‘gaussian’ and ‘speckle’. Default : 0.
- varfloat, optional
Variance of random distribution. Used in ‘gaussian’ and ‘speckle’. Note: variance = (standard deviation) ** 2. Default : 0.01
- local_varsndarray, optional
Array of positive floats, same shape as image, defining the local variance at every image point. Used in ‘localvar’.
- amountfloat, optional
Proportion of image pixels to replace with noise on range [0, 1]. Used in ‘salt’, ‘pepper’, and ‘salt & pepper’. Default : 0.05
- salt_vs_pepperfloat, optional
Proportion of salt vs. pepper noise for ‘s&p’ on range [0, 1]. Higher values represent more salt. Default : 0.5 (equal amounts)
- Returns
- outndarray
Output floating-point image data on range [0, 1] or [-1, 1] if the input image was unsigned or signed, respectively.
Notes
Speckle, Poisson, Localvar, and Gaussian noise may generate noise outside the valid image range. The default is to clip (not alias) these values, but they may be preserved by setting clip=False. Note that in this case the output may contain values outside the ranges [0, 1] or [-1, 1]. Use this option with care.
Because of the prevalence of exclusively positive floating-point images in intermediate calculations, it is not possible to intuit if an input is signed based on dtype alone. Instead, negative values are explicitly searched for. Only if found does this function assume signed input. Unexpected results only occur in rare, poorly exposes cases (e.g. if all values are above 50 percent gray in a signed image). In this event, manually scaling the input to the positive domain will solve the problem.
The Poisson distribution is only defined for positive integers. To apply this noise type, the number of unique values in the image is found and the next round power of two is used to scale up the floating-point result, after which it is scaled back down to the floating-point image range.
To generate Poisson noise against a signed image, the signed image is temporarily converted to an unsigned image in the floating point domain, Poisson noise is generated, then it is returned to the original range.
regular_grid¶
-
skimage.util.
regular_grid
(ar_shape, n_points)[source]¶ Find n_points regularly spaced along ar_shape.
The returned points (as slices) should be as close to cubically-spaced as possible. Essentially, the points are spaced by the Nth root of the input array size, where N is the number of dimensions. However, if an array dimension cannot fit a full step size, it is “discarded”, and the computation is done for only the remaining dimensions.
- Parameters
- ar_shapearray-like of ints
The shape of the space embedding the grid.
len(ar_shape)
is the number of dimensions.- n_pointsint
The (approximate) number of points to embed in the space.
- Returns
- slicestuple of slice objects
A slice along each dimension of ar_shape, such that the intersection of all the slices give the coordinates of regularly spaced points.
Changed in version 0.14.1: In scikit-image 0.14.1 and 0.15, the return type was changed from a list to a tuple to ensure compatibility with Numpy 1.15 and higher. If your code requires the returned result to be a list, you may convert the output of this function to a list with:
>>> result = list(regular_grid(ar_shape=(3, 20, 40), n_points=8))
Examples
>>> ar = np.zeros((20, 40)) >>> g = regular_grid(ar.shape, 8) >>> g (slice(5, None, 10), slice(5, None, 10)) >>> ar[g] = 1 >>> ar.sum() 8.0 >>> ar = np.zeros((20, 40)) >>> g = regular_grid(ar.shape, 32) >>> g (slice(2, None, 5), slice(2, None, 5)) >>> ar[g] = 1 >>> ar.sum() 32.0 >>> ar = np.zeros((3, 20, 40)) >>> g = regular_grid(ar.shape, 8) >>> g (slice(1, None, 3), slice(5, None, 10), slice(5, None, 10)) >>> ar[g] = 1 >>> ar.sum() 8.0

regular_seeds¶
-
skimage.util.
regular_seeds
(ar_shape, n_points, dtype=<class 'int'>)[source]¶ Return an image with ~`n_points` regularly-spaced nonzero pixels.
- Parameters
- ar_shapetuple of int
The shape of the desired output image.
- n_pointsint
The desired number of nonzero points.
- dtypenumpy data type, optional
The desired data type of the output.
- Returns
- seed_imgarray of int or bool
The desired image.
Examples
>>> regular_seeds((5, 5), 4) array([[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 3, 0, 4, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]])
unique_rows¶
-
skimage.util.
unique_rows
(ar)[source]¶ Remove repeated rows from a 2D array.
In particular, if given an array of coordinates of shape (Npoints, Ndim), it will remove repeated points.
- Parameters
- ar2-D ndarray
The input array.
- Returns
- ar_out2-D ndarray
A copy of the input array with repeated rows removed.
- Raises
- ValueErrorif ar is not two-dimensional.
Notes
The function will generate a copy of ar if it is not C-contiguous, which will negatively affect performance for large input arrays.
Examples
>>> ar = np.array([[1, 0, 1], ... [0, 1, 0], ... [1, 0, 1]], np.uint8) >>> unique_rows(ar) array([[0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]], dtype=uint8)
view_as_blocks¶
-
skimage.util.
view_as_blocks
(arr_in, block_shape)[source]¶ Block view of the input n-dimensional array (using re-striding).
Blocks are non-overlapping views of the input array.
- Parameters
- arr_inndarray
N-d input array.
- block_shapetuple
The shape of the block. Each dimension must divide evenly into the corresponding dimensions of arr_in.
- Returns
- arr_outndarray
Block view of the input array.
Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> from skimage.util.shape import view_as_blocks >>> A = np.arange(4*4).reshape(4,4) >>> A array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3], [ 4, 5, 6, 7], [ 8, 9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14, 15]]) >>> B = view_as_blocks(A, block_shape=(2, 2)) >>> B[0, 0] array([[0, 1], [4, 5]]) >>> B[0, 1] array([[2, 3], [6, 7]]) >>> B[1, 0, 1, 1] 13
>>> A = np.arange(4*4*6).reshape(4,4,6) >>> A # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE array([[[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [ 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11], [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17], [18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23]], [[24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29], [30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35], [36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41], [42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47]], [[48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53], [54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59], [60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65], [66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71]], [[72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77], [78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83], [84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89], [90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95]]]) >>> B = view_as_blocks(A, block_shape=(1, 2, 2)) >>> B.shape (4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2) >>> B[2:, 0, 2] # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE array([[[[52, 53], [58, 59]]], [[[76, 77], [82, 83]]]])

¶
view_as_windows¶
-
skimage.util.
view_as_windows
(arr_in, window_shape, step=1)[source]¶ Rolling window view of the input n-dimensional array.
Windows are overlapping views of the input array, with adjacent windows shifted by a single row or column (or an index of a higher dimension).
- Parameters
- arr_inndarray
N-d input array.
- window_shapeinteger or tuple of length arr_in.ndim
Defines the shape of the elementary n-dimensional orthotope (better know as hyperrectangle [1]) of the rolling window view. If an integer is given, the shape will be a hypercube of sidelength given by its value.
- stepinteger or tuple of length arr_in.ndim
Indicates step size at which extraction shall be performed. If integer is given, then the step is uniform in all dimensions.
- Returns
- arr_outndarray
(rolling) window view of the input array.
Notes
One should be very careful with rolling views when it comes to memory usage. Indeed, although a ‘view’ has the same memory footprint as its base array, the actual array that emerges when this ‘view’ is used in a computation is generally a (much) larger array than the original, especially for 2-dimensional arrays and above.
For example, let us consider a 3 dimensional array of size (100, 100, 100) of
float64
. This array takes about 8*100**3 Bytes for storage which is just 8 MB. If one decides to build a rolling view on this array with a window of (3, 3, 3) the hypothetical size of the rolling view (if one was to reshape the view for example) would be 8*(100-3+1)**3*3**3 which is about 203 MB! The scaling becomes even worse as the dimension of the input array becomes larger.References

Thank you for purchasing my template. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email via my user page contact form here. Thanks so much!
Spline is a single-page template, however the package includes several different color schemes and usage examples. Here is the list of all HTML files and their descriptions:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| midnight.html | HTML template with default color scheme. |
| silver.html | HTML template with Silver color scheme. |
| berry.html | HTML template with Berry color scheme. |
| sky.html | HTML template with Sky color scheme. |
| grass.html | HTML template with Grass color scheme. |
| wisteria.html | HTML template with Wisteria color scheme. |
| hongkong.html | Customized HTML template Hong Kong. |
| retro.html | Customized HTML template Retro. |
| space.html | Customized HTML template Space. |
All those files follow the same basic HTML structure with some minor changes. Let's take a look:
  ...

  <canvas id="bg-canvas"></canvas>
...

...

As you can see there are a few basic elements. In fact all of them are optional except the

which appears as the first screen of your coming soon page. So, for instance, if you don't want any background animation you can simply remove the <canvas id="bg-canvas" />
element.
The code of each HTML file is well commented, so it is very easy to understand. You can also find more information about customizing it in the "How to make changes?" section.
This template's CSS is built on LESS, a preprocessor with additional functionality like variables, mixins, and functions for compiling CSS. So the best way to make changes in styles is to edit LESS files in /less/ folder. Here it the list of LESS files coming with the template:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| styles.less | The root LESS file that should be compiled. All other files are imported to that one. |
| variables.less | Contains all customizable variables like colors, font sizes, etc. |
| mixins.less | Commonly used mixins and functions. |
| animate.less | All CSS-animations used in the project. |
| grid.less | Grid styles. |
| layout.less | General layout related styles. |
| typo.less | Typography styles. |
| responsive.less | Styles for responsive behaviour. |
In case if you are not familiar with LESS you can find the resulting CSS files in /css/ folder. Both minified and developer versions.
This template imports 5 Javascript files. You can find all of them in /js/ folder.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| modernizr.js | JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user’s browser. |
| jquery.js | jQuery is a Javascript library that greatly reduces the amount of code that you must write. |
| countdown.js | JavaScript API for producing an accurate, intuitive description of the timespan between two Date instances. |
| bezierCanvas.js | A script that creates Bezier curves based animation in a canvas element. The script is wrapped as jQuery plugin. |
| notifyMe.js | A script for handling a "Send me an email when it's done" form. Sending AJAX requests, error handling, etc. |
This template includes a PHP script notify-me.php that handles AJAX requests from "Send me an email when it's done!" form. There is also a PHP library /lib/MailChimp.php with minimum abstraction MailChimp API v2 wrapper by Drew McLellan. It is required for proper work of notify-me.php script.
You can find more information about the setting up this functionality in Notify me section.
OK, now is the fun part. This template includes several different color schemes and usage examples, so the best way to start is to pick one of the HTML files and customize it the way you like.
To change the color scheme for the entire page you have to change class
attribute for body
element. For example:

...

You can also change a color scheme for only a part of the document. To do so you need to add a class
attribute with the name of color scheme to the parent element of this part.

  ...

  ...

Here are the color schemes that are available at the moment:
| Class name | Description |
|---|---|
| Empty class name | Default scheme. |
| color-scheme-silver | Silver color scheme. |
| color-scheme-grass | Grass color scheme. |
| color-scheme-sky | Sky blue color scheme. |
| color-scheme-berry | Berry color scheme. |
| color-scheme-wisteria | Wisteria color scheme. |
There are two important things you have to know about the countdown element. The first one is how to change the end date for your countdown. At the very bottom of your HTML there is a piece of code like this:

Can you see a date there? Yep, this is it! Change it to whatever you like.
The second thing you need to know is that there are two styles for the countdown element. The default one when days, hours, minutes and seconds are separated with lines. And the second one when they are fitted in circles. Here is how to switch between them:

...

...

This template includes a script that helps you to create a mailing list for notifying visitors about the website launch. Email addresses can be stored in a file or in your MailChimp list.
To store emails in a file you should do the following:
"file"
as a value for $STORE_MODE
variable$STORE_FILE
variable// Set to "mailchimp" to store contacts in MailChimp or "file" to store in a file $STORE_MODE = "file"; // Path to file $STORE_FILE = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."noify-email-list.txt";
It is also a good idea to protect this file from reading. To do so add in your .htaccess file something like:
<Files "notify-email-list.txt"> Order Allow,Deny Deny from all </Files>
MailChimp is an online service that let's you to create, send, and track email newsletters.
If you want your coming soon page to store emails in your MailChimp account you need to know your API Key and Subscribers list ID.
Make sure that $STORE_MODE
value is set to "mailchimp"
. As result, the beginning of your notify-me.php should look like this:
// Set to "mailchimp" to store contacts in MailChimp or "file" to store in a file $STORE_MODE = "mailchimp"; // Your MailChimp API Key $API_KEY = "51ra5f777afa21047180b942187216a7-us8"; // Your MailChimp List ID $LIST_ID = "f018q6dabc";
If you have more questions regarding MailChimp service you can check their Knowledge Base.
You can also change error and success messages of the form. New message strings can be passed to notifyMe
plugin as options when activating plugin at the bottom of page:

Now, I would like to tell you about those animated Bezier curves in the background. This animation is created programmatically, which means that you can adjust it by playing with some parameters. Here is the list of available options:
| Option | Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
maxLines |
1..100 | 100 | Number of animated lines. |
maxStyles |
1..100 | 10 | Maximum number of different line colors. |

SLACKER A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1991, 1995 Edwin Jahiel
*** 1/2. Written, produced and directed by Richard Linklater. Photographed by Lee Daniel. Edited by Scott Rhodes. Cast: 105 mostly non-professionals. Released by Orion Classics. 97 minutes. Not rated (probably PG-13).
Thanks to the festival circuit (Sundance, San Francisco, among others) SLACKER was eventually picked up by a commercial distributor. In the Pesaro (Italy) Festival's huge section on American Independent Films, where I first saw it, this work was one of the very best entries.
In and around the West Campus of the University of Texas (Austin), students, former students, drop-outs, academics and non-academics of all types hang out. They are "slackers", the latest breed and variant of what used to be called beatniks, and, according to Linklater, "the generation that would have been aborted; it just wasn't hip at the time."
There are 105 of them, mostly in their twenties but with older people thrown in too. Very few in the cast had any acting experience. About 30% of the 105 were acquaintances. The rest came off the street.
SLACKER depicts a period of 24 hours in their lives. Since the movie deals with many types, all democratically given equal weight, it cannot be an in-depth portrait of any one individual. Rather, it is the casual, off-the-wall and often very funny illustration of a whole--not a collective but the sum of its parts.
The camera starts on A who is a compulsive talker.  B's path crosses that of equally loquacious C who discusses life and things with D ... and so on. By the time we reach Z the daisy-chain stops. There is no circle to close, no plot or story to satisfy. Instead, the zig-zags flow to an end, as in real life.
SLACKER is original, inventive and undjudgmentally ironic. Its approach is systematic but not at all monotonous. Imagine a road novel or movie, dense in characters but sparse in physical scope. What we are given is like fragments of a picaresque work, with routine events devoid of high drama, and contained within one day and a few city blocks.
There is neither rush nor claustrophobia in this strategy. Linklater's scripted yet candid semi-documentary does a great job of its subculture , a subculture not one unified by purpose but rather by aimlessness. There is an odd passivity here, but it is not total: there are active touches brought in by gentle freaks and semi-nuts.
The transfer from person to person is done less through the camera than through looking and eye contact. The development is done through talk. This ranges from sophomoric profundities to mythomania, manias, delusions or illusions. And this talk can be hilarious, as when a spaced-out girl tries to sell a phial of Madonna's Pap test.
The place being Austin, where Charles Whitman shot people from the Unversity's Tower, and the state, Texas, where John F. Kennedy was killed, it is no wonder that a lot of the slackers are obsessed with murder--especially Presidential--and with conspiracy theories that encompass politics as well as outer space.
SLACKER is not an improvised movie. Everything was tightly scripted and rehearsed before the camera rolled. Carefully planned too was the style of the movie, a choreography based on long takes and minimal use of montage. "This style would not fit an action film, but it is perfect for a study of characters, since we wanted to avoid distracting the viewer with an excessive use of the camera." (Linklater).
Richard Linklater, born in 1962 in Houston, briefly studied English literature in college, dropped out, briefly worked on an offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico and briefly visited courses at the University of Texas. Disappointed by the way film was taught, he quit and made his first movie, in Super-8, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN TO PLOW BY READING BOOKS (1987).
Linklater's passion for film (he was involved in the Austin Film Society, a local operation by movie-buffs) shows in his work. "SLACKER" he says "is an amalgamation of everything I've seen in the last five years." But whereas too many films use movie references gratuitously, Linklater incorporates his organically, with freshness and creativity. For example, the influence of Jean-Luc Godard in SLACKER's absurdist gags is pleasantly obvious, as in the opening scenes with Linklater as a cabbie's voluble fare, and the subsequent accident which has echoes of BREATHLESS.
Most of SLACKER's 97 minutes are varied, vastly entertaining, perspicacious and sometimes touching. College people should not miss it, nor, for that matter, anyone else who needs the comfort of unusual, non-commercial, imaginative film-making.

Contributor documentation¶
To contribute to Permon, first find an issue you would like to help solving. If you have suggestions for improvement or found a bug, please open a new issue. You are of course also welcome to just play around with Permon without the intent to tackle a specific issue.
Setup¶
Warning
This section assumes you are using commands from the linux shell. Bash scripts which might not work out of the box on windows are also used. See this issue for progress on cross-platform support during development.
First, make sure you have Python >= 3.6 and Node.js and npm installed. Node.js and npm are needed for compiling Javascript and Sass for the browser frontend and the documentation. Permon is tested on Node.js version 10.x but should work on other recent versions too.
Afterwards, clone the github repo.
git clone https://github.com/bminixhofer/permon --branch=dev
Now, cd
into the directory and run pip install -r requirements.txt
. This will install the exact versions of all packages which Permon uses, including those only used during development. You might also want to create
some sort of virtual environment first.
Afterwards, run pip install -e .
. The -e
flag tells PIP to install the module into the cloned directory instead of installing it into the directory for Python packages as it would normally do.
This way, Permon will directly run the code from the cloned directory so changes in the source code will immediately take effect.
Now, cd
into the repo and run ./bin/init.sh
. This will:
- Install the Node modules needed for the documentation and browser frontend.
- Register the hooks in
.githooks
as git hooks.
At the moment, .githooks
only consists of a pre-commit hook which will lint your code and build the files in the javascript ecosystem.
Tools for use during development¶
The bin
directory contains a couple of useful scripts for use during development. When changing the Python code these are not needed.
When changing the parts of Permon which need a build they are very useful. In that case, it is recommended to use a tool to watch your file system and rebuild on change for smooth development. I would recommend entr. For example when writing docs, you can, assuming you are in the project root directory, run
find permon/doc/ -not -path "permon/doc/node_modules/*" | entr ./bin/build-docs.sh
Permon’s structure¶
Permon is built in an object oriented way. Permon consists of one backend. The backend handles everything related to stats. It provides an abstract Stat
class. Every stat inherits from this class.
The prepackaged stats are also part of the backend.
Permon also has a frontend. The frontend provides an abstract MonitorApp
class. For every different application, a different MonitorApp
must be implemented e. g. a TerminalApp
.
A MonitorApp
consists of multiple Monitor
instances. A monitor wraps a Stat
with the capability of visually displaying it. The Monitor
is also the only place where a Stat
is instantiated.
This way, an instance exists always only of stats which are currently displayed. The MonitorApp
can remove, add and change its monitors.
The choice of which app to instantiate is taken in permon/__init__.py
. The instantiation only sets some parameters on the app. The actual work is done, in the .initialize
method of the app. If you want a quick overview of a frontend application, this is the
first function you should be looking at.
The likely easiest frontend app to get into is the terminal app. It consists of very few lines of code, all of which are contained in one file: permon/frontend/terminal.py
.
