A good example comes from the 14 new model homes at Pulte/Del Webb's Sun City Lincoln Hills in Lincoln, CA, which Ambrosia is merchandising.
Ranging from just under 1,200 to more than 3,000 square feet, these homes are designed to appeal to boomers — in both architecture and merchandising. The homes are larger, with bigger kitchens and more space for entertaining. There is enough room for example, for a large dining table for family gatherings and there are special places for hobbies, home offices, exercise and relaxation.
Fill the Home With Their Favorite Things
A home’s personalization is key to its appeal to active adults, Newell points out.
“Buyers are looking at this home as the one they can finally do their way,” he says. “They want everything to be the nicest they’ve ever owned.”
Most buyers have owned and decorated several homes over the years. They’ve learned from their mistakes and want to fill this home with their favorite things.

Buyers at Sun City Lincoln Hills are spending $50,000-$60,000 for architectural upgrades and options such as flooring and countertops.
Low Maintenance Is Another Hot Button
Although active adult home buyers desire the best in everything, they do not want a home that requires plenty of upkeep. Low maintenance and high quality are the hot buttons for these buyers, and creating a balance between the two is essential.
Newell says that the interiors of active adult homes should be lighter and brighter than what is found in a typical single-family home.
“We see 35% less light as we get older, so the rooms are painted in warmer, lighter colors and awash in at least three light sources,” he says.
At Ambrosia, designers use this lightness as a backdrop for accesories and fabrics that add color and texture throughout the home.
As in the single-family home market, active adult homes are becoming more themed.
Not Every Buyer Wants to Vacation at Home — But Most Do
“Since this is their dream home,” says Newell, “most of these buyers want it to have the relaxed feel of a vacation retreat.”
Ambrosia often incorporates the design and color palates associated with plantation, seaside cottage or Tommy Bahamas interiors to satisfy this desire.
“Of course, we still design models that include traditional, classic and more eclectic interiors, but the vacation feel is very hot right now," Newell says. “We don’t want to get so caught up (in what's hot) that we don't reach the buyer who desires a home with the builder’s more standard amenities.”
For the active adult buyers who would rather spend their money on an actual vacation than a “vacation-feel” home, "we work with the builder to show everything he includes as standard, adding special touches to make the home just as enticing,” Newell says.
Whether merchandising to include the ultimate in what the active adult buyer desires or what they can realistically afford, understanding that the active adult is an individual who continues to participate in the excitement and rigors of everyday life is essential.

I am ignorant.
I know that’s not something most people would brag about. But wearing that ignorance on my sleeve has been the key to any successes I’ve had as a designer. No, I do not have all the answers, and I’m not going to pretend that I do.
I’m quick to claim my ignorance because I’m more interested in starting with the right questions than jumping into a quick solution. I strive to question everything.
But what is it that I do, exactly? For over ten years I’ve been helping build brands, develop strategies, create identities and user interfaces, write copy, and lots of fiddling with interactions and responsive design to get things just right. To do these things I use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node, Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, pre-processors, task-runners, static site generators, git, GitHub, and an ever-changing list of many other tools.
I’m currently the Design Developer at Twilio. Which means I focus on the intersection between design and code. Some personal projects include Predawn and Norwester. You can find more on GitHub.

Principia is a modeling and simulation tool for educators and students of kinematics. We believe that having visualizations that are flexible and packed with information can help students better understand material presented in a Physics I class. Before trying out the simulator, please try watching some of the videos below for a brief overview of Principia and some useful tutorials.
Additional technical details are available at the bottom of this page.
In this tutorial we'll give you a brief overview of what the simulation builder is capable of accomplishing.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to use point mass objects in your simulations.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to use surfaces in your simulations.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to use ramps in your simulations.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to use springs in your simulations.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to use the positiong, velocity, and acceleration graphs in your simulations.
In this tutorial we'll walk you through how to model a full physics problem using two keyframes.
In this tutorial we'll walk you through how to model a full physics problem using four keyframes.
Use the components in the toolbox tab to model a physics problem. After dragging it on to the canvas, you can select an object and the properties tab will open. From there, you can modify properties such as velocity, acceleration, mass, spring constants, and more. The simulator automatically generates 1000 frames of motion by default.
You can enable more advanced features by either finding the toggle in the properties tab, right-clicking an object and using the context menu that appears, or by using shortcut keys.
Current shortcuts include:
If you want to solve for unknown values, you will need to add additional keyframes using the keyframe tab. A "keyframe" is a snapshot in time representing state changes in a problem. It may represent the instant that something beings accelerating, or the instant it comes to rest. Once multiple keyframes exist, the properties window will have a new icon of a shrugging man that you can click to indicate you don't know the value of a certain property. When you click play (and assuming there are enough values that are known), these unknown values will be filled in with an analytic solution. You can use the solution tab to see the details.
Use the globals tab to edit properties that affect the entire simulation, such as where the origin is (object coordinates are displayed relative to this) or which unit to use.
Use the overview tab for a quick list of all of the objects in your scene. You can click an object in the overview to select that object and center the camera on it, or you can click the garbage bin to delete that object.
Principia is built in two parts: the sandbox where you model your problem and a solver that attempts to fill in unknown values.
If you only have one keyframe, your problem does not need the solver. A single keyframe describes an initial state where all values are known. The next 999 frames are generated by calculating the forces acting on each body and modifying the acceleration, velocity, and position accordingly. However, since Principia works using discrete frames, a fixed amount of time passes per frame. Error can accumulate as a result. For example, the force of a spring pulling on a body is constantly changing as it oscillates. Principia computes the value of that force at two snapshots in time, not accounting for the minute changes in force that occur between those frames.
Therefore, you can use the sandbox mode to examine general principles and gain an overall feel for how bodies might interact in the real world, but it does not yield exact values.
Thanks to the existence of the solver, however, Principia is still potentially useful for problems where you do need to know an exact value. The solver is not concerned with the error that accumulates on the in-between frames because it does a first pass using the fundamental kinematics equations, filling in the unknowns that you specify in each keyframe. Non-keyframes are still approximations, but as soon as the simulator reaches a keyframe (indicated by a blue highlight in the keyframes tab), the delta-time and object properties are all adjusted to match the exact values that are analytically solved for before the playback begins.
If you are using Principia to better understand your homework, you should open the solution tab to see how that analytic solution was computed. You might regret it if you simply try to copy answers without understanding the equations. Your instructor certainly doesn't plan to let you have access to Principia when you are taking your final!
The solver does not currently account for more advanced physics equations, nor does it respond to the fact that bodies may collide on in-between frames. Keep an eye out for future updates addressing these issues, or feel free to help contribute yourself!

This sticky glaze is easy to make and turns a quickly griddled tuna steak into a zingy meal for two. Try it with asparagus and root veg salad.
For the tuna steak, heat a griddle pan until hot.
Heat a frying pan and add the sugar, vinegar and 60ml/2fl oz of water. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the lemongrass, chilli, mint and coriander.
Cook for a couple of minutes until sticky and then roll the tuna in the glaze.
Place the tuna onto a griddle pan and cook until bar marks appear and turn the tuna around until you have marks all around the tuna. Make sure it is pink in the middle.
Once removed from the pan, brush the remaining glaze over the tuna. Allow to rest for a few minutes while you make the salad.
For the asparagus salad, heat a saucepan of boiling water and blanch the asparagus, radishes and turnips. Drain.
Place the vegetables in iced water to refresh.
Place the watercress, mint and coriander leaves in a large bowl. Add the blanched vegetables, along with the radish leaves and mix it all together.
To serve, cut the tuna into bite-size pieces and serve with the salad alongside. Garnish with baby coriander cress. Drizzle over any glaze that's left in the pan after cooking the tuna.


Boy killed, girl in critical condition after two cars collide with moose
by The Canadian Press, StaffMONTREAL -- One child is dead and another is fighting for her life after a crash involving two vehicles and a moose in western Quebec.
The collision occurred Sunday afternoon, when a vehicle hit the moose on route 323 in Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, about 150 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
Provincial police say the animal was flung into the path of an oncoming vehicle with two adults and three children aboard.
A boy was pronounced dead in hospital while a girl was seriously injured and remained in critical condition as of Sunday evening.
The two adults in the second vehicle were treated for minor injuries and shock, while the third child and the driver of the other vehicle were not hurt.
A crash scene investigator was sent to the highway, which was closed in both directions following the crash.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 18, 2019.

For the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a chunky-jammy mixture. Add salt with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in fridge and wait until the fig mixtures is cooled.
Using an ice cream, machine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions,i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/- 10 minutes. Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass Tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.

I’m currently writing a PowerShell script that will commit changes to a Mercurial repository, then push those changes out to our central Mercurial server. If there are new changes on the server, the script will need to pull those changes down before it pushes, merge them, commit the merge, then re-push to the server. Rinse and repeat until the push succeeds. Because it will run under our continuous integration build server, it needs to be able to run headless (i.e., non-interactively).
During a merge, Mercurial will sometimes prompt the user for input (e.g. if a file was deleted by someone, but modified by someone else, Mercurial asks if you want to keep the change or keep the deletion). Prompting for input won’t work under a continuous integration server because no one’s around to answer. So, my script needs to detect when Mercurial is prompting for input, kill it, then notify those responsible that manual intervention is necessary.
Google turned up Is My Process Waiting for Input? on StackOverflow. The .NET System.Net.Diagnostics.Process class has a Threads property, which is a collection of ProcessThread objects. If a process is waiting for input, one of its threads will be in a wait state (i.e. its ThreadState property will be Wait
), waiting for user input (i.e., its WaitReason property will be LpcReply
).
So, to get all process in PowerShell that are waiting for user input, you can do something like this:
Get-Process | Where-Object {
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Threads |
Where-Object { $_.ThreadState -eq 'Wait' -and $_.WaitReason -eq 'LpcReply' }
}
Of course, this is the easy part. Here’s my final script. In addition to using Start-Process
to start the merge so we can monitor the process while its running, it redirects STDOUT and STDERR to files, so we can see it in our build log.
# Create some files for storing STDOUT and STDERR streams
$randomFileName = [IO.Path]::GetRandomFileName()
$stdOutFile = 'hg.merge.StdOut.{0}' -f $randomFileName
$stdOutFile = Join-Path $env:Temp $stdOutFile
$stdErrFile = 'hg.merge.StdErr.{0}' -f $randomFileName
$stdErrFile = Join-Path $env:Temp $stdErrFile
# Start the merge.
$mergeProcess = Start-Process -FilePath hg.exe `
-ArgumentList 'merge','-r',$Revision `
-PassThru `
-NoNewWindow `
-RedirectStandardOutput $stdOutFile `
-RedirectStandardError $stdErrFile
try
{
do
{
# If the merge every prompts the user for input, kill it.
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
$waitingForInput = $mergeProcess.Threads |
Where-Object { $_.ThreadState -eq 'Wait' -and $_.WaitReason -eq 'LpcReply' }
if( $waitingForInput )
{
Write-Error -Message ('Stopping non-interactive merge: Mercurial is prompting for input.') `
-RecommendedAction 'Please merge manually.'
$null = $mergeProcess | Stop-Process -PassThru | Wait-Process
break
}
}
while( -not $mergeProcess.HasExited )
# Display STDOUT.
Get-Content -Path $stdOutFile | Write-Host
# Display STDERR
# For some reason, it takes a little time to read the Standard Error file.
$errors = $null
$readFile = $false
do

Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 100
try
{
$errors = [IO.File]::ReadAllText($stdErrFile)
$readFile = $true
}

--- title: Internationality and the Role of Domestic Knowledge Pools author: TF date: '2018-11-03' slug: internationality-in-innovation-networks-and-the-size-of-domestic-knowledge-pools categories: - R tags: [R, patent statistics, intellectual property statistics, linear regression, knowledge pools] bibliography: references.bib ---
In a previous post, I hypothesized that internationality in innovation networks is negatively related to the size of the domestic knowledge pool. Countries with a small domestic knowledge pools can be expected to depend on foreign co-operation in many areas of research, whereas countries with large innovative capacities probably have many of the necessary innovative resource within national borders. This post aims to substantiate this logic with some quantitative arguments.
I assume that the number of annual patent applications is a good measure of a the size of a country’s knowledge pool in a given year. Thus, the independent variable in the subsequent simple linear regression analysis is the count of patent applications per year and per country. Naturally, this is not completely accurate, as countries have different propensities to patent, but the patent count should provide a reasonable estimator. Furthermore, the data was reduced to contain only those countries with a significant patent output. To do this, all countries with less than 20 patent applications in the year 2013 were excluded. 2013 data was chosen to determine which countries to include in the analysis, as it is relatively recent and relatively complete (unlike data for the most recent years).
For simplicity, only inventor data is considered here. The knowledge pool should be best represented by the inventors residing in a given country, not the companies that operate in the country.
The histogram of patent application counts per country in the year 2013 is strongly right-skewed. There a many countries with small patent output and very few countries with very large patent output.
library(ggplot2)
#dispdata is a previously created dataframe that contains patent count and dispersion data
attach(dispdata)
qplot(count_inv[year == 2013], geom = "histogram", binwidth = 500, col = I("black"),
xlab = "patent applications in 2013", ylab = "count",
main = "Distribution of patent applications per country (2013)")
The logarithmic transformation of the patent count approximates the normal distribution and is therefore more suitable for the linear regression analysis.
qplot(log(count_inv[year == 2013]), geom = "histogram", binwidth = 1, col = I("black"),
xlab = "log(patent applications in 2013)", ylab = "count",
main = "Distribution of logarithmized patent applications per country (2013)")
As the relationship between the size of national knowledge pools and internationality is investigated per year here, a series of annual regression analyses serves to illustrate the persistence of the hypothesized relationship over time. The below series of scatterplots with fitted regression lines showes that there is a clear negative relationship between countries’ patent count and average annual country dispersion.
ggplot(data = dispdata[year %in% seq(1985, 2015, 6), ], aes(x = log(count_inv), y = invd)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = 'lm',formula = y~x) +
facet_wrap(~ year, ncol = 3) +
xlab("log(patent count)") + ylab("average country dispersion") +
ggtitle("Patent count and country dispersion over time") +
theme_light()
The following graph illustrates the relationship in 2013 in more detail and visualizes the positions of individual countries in the scatterplot.
library(ggrepel)
ggplot(data = dispdata[year == 2013, ], aes(x = log(count_inv), y = invd, label = country)) +

| Estimate | Std. Error | t value | Pr(>|t|) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Intercept) | 0.2774 | 0.03495 | 7.938 | 9.375e-09 |
| log(count_inv[year == 2013]) | -0.02246 | 0.005783 | -3.885 | 0.0005466 |
The negative relationship is highly significant. The Q-Q-Plot shows that the residuals are approximately normally distributed. Thus the assumption of a linear relationship is reasonable.
Having established the significance of the relationship under investigation, the next step investigates how countries perform in terms of internationality when controlling for the size of their domestic knowledge pools. To do this, the residuals of regression models for the years 2003 to 2013 are calculated and aggregated into an average residual value. Ordering the countries in terms of their averaged residuals shows in how far they differ from the country dispersion values predicted by the regression model
allres <- data.frame(sapply(2003:2013, function (x) {
model <- lm(invd[year == x] ~ log(count_inv[year == x]))
res <- resid(model)
names(res) <- country[year == x]
return(res)
}))
meanres <- data.frame(apply(allres, 1, mean))
names(meanres) <- "residual_d"
#import a list that contains ISO 2digit country-codes to make the country names explicit
isocountries <- read.csv("../../datasource/2digit ISO country codes.csv")
isocountries <- isocountries[order(isocountries$Code), ]
meanres$country <- isocountries[isocountries$Code %in% row.names(meanres), "Name"]
pander(meanres[order(-meanres$r), c(2, 1)], row.names = FALSE)

This page refrences the style sheet with versioning
Here are some links you can try, what to expect and why
| URL | What | Why |
| / | The index.html page | The DefaultDocument middleware is configured here to display index.html when the request URL contains no path. This page references the style sheet with a version number, so the browser will only request this file once and any changes you make to this file will not be reflected in the browser. |
| /home.html | The home.html page | The home.html page has a reference to the style sheet that is not versioned. Note that the LESS compiler tells the Output Cache middleware to cache and reuse the CSS output so that the compilation does not occur every time. This causes the output cache to add a header telling the browser to cache the file for a few hours. If the output cache gets a request for the CSS file and the underlying LESS file has been modified then it will not use the cached data, but pass the request on to the rest of the OWIN pipeline and the Less Middleware will re-compile the changed file. |
| /FormId/signup.html | A form that you can use to create an account | The Form Identification middleware is configured to handle POSTs to this URL. The page is static HTML containing a form with a submit button. |
| /FormId/signin.html | A form that you can use to login | The Form Identification middleware is configured to handle POSTs to this URL. The page is static HTML containing a form with a submit button. |
| /FormId/signout.html | A form that you can use to log out | The Form Identification middleware is configured to handle POSTs to this URL. The page is static HTML containing a form with a submit button. |

| /owin/endpoints | A list of the URLs that work on this site | The Documenter middleware is configured here to display this information at this URL. The Documenter middleware can generate documentation for any middleware that implements the ISelfDocumenting interface. |
| /ui | A User Interface written in Dart | The Dart middleware will detect the browser capabilities and rewrite requests to either the original Dart code or the compiled version. After passing through the Dart middleware, the request is handled by the Static Files middleware which serves the file. The Dart middleware configuration is here, and the static files middleware configuration is here. |
| /ui/favicon.ico | The browser icon used for the Dart UI | The Dart middleware will detect the browser capabilities and rewrite requests to either /ui/web/favicon.ico or /ui/build/web/favicon.ico |
| /ui/favicon_v1.ico | The browser icon used for the Dart UI | The Versioning middleware will strip the version number out of the request before the Dart middleware sees it, so this will work identically to /ui/favicon.ico. |
| /main.css | The contents of main.less compiled into css | The Less middleware is configured here to compile LESS into CSS on the fly. The resulting CSS will be stored in the Output Cache middleware so that it is not compiled again on each request. |
| /main_v1.css | The contents of main.less compiled into css | The Versioning middleware is configured here to strip version numbers off incomming requests. It is also configured to insert version numbers into URLs that refer to static assets, and add headers to the response telling the browser that it can cache these for a very long time. |
| /nonsense.html | A message indicating that the URL is invalid | The NotFound middleware is configured here to return a 404 response for all requests that were not handled earlier in the pipeline. |

Here on Earth (2000, PG-13)
Directed by Mark Piznarski
Written by Michael Seitzman
Produced by David T. Friendly
Starring Chris Klein, LeeLee Sobieski, Josh Harnett, and Bruce Greenwood
As Reviewed by James Brundage
In David Mamet's The Spanish Prisoner, Steve Martin puts his two cents in on doing business in America. "Always do business as if the person you're doing business with is trying to screw you, because they probably are. And if they're not, you can be pleasantly surprised." The entertainment industry is a business, and I conduct myself around this business with the expectation that each movie that I see will be terrible. That way, as I come out of the movie, I can be pleasantly surprised.
Don't think I'm crazy… It's reverse psychology: it's not supposed to make sense.
This weeks pleasant surprise was Here on Earth, a film which I expected to be LeeLee Sobieski (the scantly-clad tailor's daughter from Eyes Wide Shut) dropping her intellect and artistic integrity for a more sizable paycheck. As it turns out, her intellect and artistic integrity are about the only things she doesn't drop in this film. Sobieski plays Samantha, a small town girl with vices that include (but are not limited to) scenic waterfalls, birch trees, and Robert Frost poems. Sam is the object of the rivaling affections of two boys, a rich prep named Kelley (Chris Klein), and a hick-with-a-heart named Jasper (Josh Harnett).
Kelley would have been valedictorian of his prep school if it weren't for the fact that a joyride / car chase with Jasper resulted in the destruction of a diner named Mable's Table. When a judge sentences the two rivals to rebuild the diner, Sam predictably falls for Kelley. Rather than play the vicious jealousy card, writer Michael Seitzman chooses instead to give Sobeiski a terminal illness, and from there the movie proceeds to its achingly predictable climax.
After reading the summary on what is likely to go down in history as one of the worst written scripts ever, you probably are pondering why Here on Earth was a pleasant surprise. Well, this film works exactly like The Hurricane did: by placing great actors in parts not worthy of them. Sobeiski is one of the few people that actually can die with style. Klein is able to pull of the I-hate-small-towns shtick, act like a jerk, and still have us love him. Greenwood plays both stock roles of the town sheriff and the grieving dad to a T, and Harnett truly shines as the most human character of the entire group. In addition to this, the film is remarkably well photographed. The nature outside of the small town is captured perfectly in the lens of Michael D. O'Shea. Director Mark Piznarski also handles his cast and crew well.
All in all, Here on Earth is yet another movie that proves that a good script really isn't necessary to have a good movie. If it could just have gotten a good script, Here on Earth could have taken me straight to heaven.

Palakkad is one of the fourteen districts of Kerala and has no coastal line. The district opens the state to the rest of the country through the Palakkad Gap with a width of 32 to 40 Kms. Its geographical position, historical background, educational status, tourism hot-spots and above all, the development activities that are carried out, are wide and varied. The district is one of the main granaries of Kerala and its economy is primarily agricultural. The district is also the land of Palmyrahs.Palakkad is the gateway to Kerala due to the presence of Palakkad Gap, in the Western Ghats. Situated at the foot of the western ghats, this is the gateway to kerala from The north. In earlier times, Palakkad was known as Palakkattussery. Some emytologists trace the word "Palakkad" from the word Palai nilam, which means dry lands. The commonly held belief, however, is that the name is a fusion of two malayalam words Pala (alsteria scholaris), a tree that is found abondantly in Palakkad and kadu which means forest which goes to prove that this place was once a beautiful stretch of forests covered with the sweet scented flowers of the pala tree.

Students storm field at halftime of Harvard-Yale to protest
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The 136th edition of The Game between Harvard and Yale has been delayed at halftime after protesters took over the field.
Students from both schools occupied midfield after the Yale band had finished performing. Some held banners asking their colleges to act on climate change and Puerto Rican debt relief.
“Hey hey, ho ho, fossil fuels have got to go,” some protesters chanted.
After a few minutes, hundreds more people stream onto the field. A public address announcement asked them to leave “as a courtesy to the players.”
“As a courtesy to both teams, the game must resume.”
Police were on standby.
With Yale hoping to clinch an Ivy League title, Harvard led 15-3 at halftime.

Telcos kick against Pantami’s directive on Automatic Voicemails
by Chidinma NwagbaraFollowing the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Ali Pantami directive for telecommunication companies to deactivate automatic voicemails on existing phone lines in the country, the telcos have responded to it.
According to Gbenga Adebayo, the Chairman of Association of Licensed Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ALTON) as reported by The Nation, the allegation contained in the statement released by Minister Pantami was untrue as the telcos were not forcing voicemail (VM) services on subscribers.
Adebayo said that the issue of automatic voicemails was not a major policy issue but instead was a consumer issue which the ministry could have easily called the attention of the NCC to settle amicably.
Speaking further, Adebayo went on to clarify that automatic voicemails are value-added services and as such should not be given to only those who request it.
However, he added that every customer has a choice to allow it or not as the voicemail only comes on if a user calls another and the recipient doesn’t pick. The voice prompt comes after the ringing tone ends, and if the user quits it immediately, he/she won’t be charged.
Adebayo’s words: “Our attention has been drawn to yet another directive by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy on Deactivation of Voice Mail Protocol by Service Providers’ Network.
READ MORE: Poor service: 19,977 subscribers lodge complaints against Telcos
“In as much that we want to believe that the minister was misquoted. However, our positions on Voicemail Directive by the minister are VM is a value-added service. Only those who opt-in should have it; the current practice on some networks is that once you call and the recipient doesn’t pick, you get a voice prompt saying that the subscriber is not available and asking you to record a voice message *after the tone*.
“For the avoidance of doubt , you (as a consumer) are not billed anything, but if you delay, you may be charged for a few seconds, or for the time it takes you to record the message.
“The recipient of the voice mail does not get charged for listening. It is free.
“VM is a value added service and it should only be provisioned for those who expressly request for it. It may be recalled that MNOs reintroduced the VM facility to discourage people who “flash” continuously. Flashing wastes network resources and also degrades QoS reporting. This should not however justify the practice the way it is being done by some networks. However, this is not a major “policy issue” within the meaning of S. 23&24 of the NCA which empower.”

Thalassery has a unique place in Kerala's history and has an equally interesting evolution of culture, religion and tradition. Thalassery in Kannur, a northern district of Kerala, before the country's independence had its social, political and cultural life shaped up by the local rulers, foreign trade links as well imperial powers like the Portuguese and the British. In Kerala, perhaps no other place can boast of having several unique aspects attached to a region like that of Thalassery. The place has to its credit many firsts in its socio-cultural life and it would be interesting to explore some of them.
The Kannur Lighthouse is located near the Payyambalam Beach, a few kilometers from Kannur town, in Kerala state, south India. It is adjacent to the Sea View Park and the Government Guest House. The lighthouse is still active and overlooks the Arabian Sea. Cannanore is the old English name for the town named Kannur. The lighthouse at Kannur is still often referred to as the Cannanore lighthouse.

The Iron-Age-Danube database was created in the framework of the Monumentalized Early Iron Age Landscapes in the Danube river basin (Iron-Age-Danube) project to create an overview over Early Iron Age sites in partner countries (Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia) with an aim to
The Iron-Age-Danube database comprises of four interlinked datasets resolving around the SITE dataset that represents an archaeological site. The SITE dataset includes administrative and geographic information about an archaeological site as well as information about its touristic potential (e.g. visibility, accessibility, infrastructure etc.). Each site is composed of one or several ARCHAEOLOGICAL ENTITIES. Each entity is defined by its type (e.g. settlement, funerary site, industrial site etc.), period (e.g. Ha C1, Ha C2 etc.) and spatial area (represented by a spatial polygon). RESEARCH ACTIVITY dataset describes research projects (administration, aims, methods etc.). Each SITE is also linked to the MONUMENT PROTECTION dataset that includes information about the heritage and natural protection status and possible threats. SITE, ARCHAEOLOGICAL ENTITY as well as RESEARCH ACTIVITY and MONUMENT PROTECTION when possible are represented by a spatial polygon.
A spatial example of an archaeological site with its entities and researched area. Archaeological features (such as separate grave barrows are added for the purpose of the illustration and are not included in the database structure).
Iron-Age-Danube database entries are based on controlled vocabulary that can be viewed in detail from the “About” section “IAD Thesaurus” in the main panel or directly on the Vocabs website. The thesaurus includes short description of the term and translations from English to German, Croatia, Hungarian, and Slovenian language.
Apart from the IAD thesaurus, controlled vocabulary includes also other terminology. For the purpose of statistical analysis one can choose from a predefined scale 1- normally representing the best and 3- the least favourable option. Additionally, 4-information not available was chosen when it was not possible to retrieve topic in question from available sources.
It is possible to browse each dataset (SITE, RESEARCH ACTIVITY, ARCH. ENTITY, and MONUMENT PROTECTION) separately, however, the SITE browsing options take account of all other datasets including some additional options such as search by location and period. Additionally, it is possible to view and browse the pre-set tables used in the database such as the list of researchers, research institutions, research questions, chronology and geographic-administrative data. The bibliographic references are linked with the Zotero database and can be therefore viewed there.
Browsing options can be reached through the “Explore” button on the front page, which brings you to the SITE browsing options or through “Browse the Data” in the main panel.
One can browse the data based on pre-set vocabulary. The results are presented in a list as well as on a map. The results can also be organized based on the field name by clicking on it (for example – click on Name to arrange the results alphabetically).
To add a field to the result table, you may choose whichever field from the database by clicking and selecting it from the “Select additional columns” in the browsing options. You should do this before clicking “Search”.
The “visualize” as well as “download” option both work with data from the search result.
The “visualize” option includes pie and bar charts that present the count of sites, archaeological entities, research activities and monument protection for a specified selection. Each dataset offers a visualization of its own selection. The charts can be downloaded as images, vector files, PDF as well as XLS and CVS.
There are two main “download” options:
The first option allows for download in GeoJSON file format. When downloading from SITE section it is possible to directly include the GeoJSON tables of all related entries (ARCH. ENTITY, RESEARCH ACTIVITY, MONUMENT PROTECTION) for the selected sites.
The second option allows to download a CSV file format spreadsheet of browsing results as presented in the “total results” table. The SITE section will by default include the site “Name” and “ID”. All other options can be added using the “select additional columns” prior to browsing the data (see section “Browsing” in this document). This option allows to add any desired database field.

--help Help (this text)
--lib file Link this library
--lib-path path Specify a library search path
--mapfile name Create a map file
--module-id id Specify a module id
--obj file Link this object file
--obj-path path Specify an object file search path
--start-addr addr Set the default start address
--start-group Start a library group
--target sys Set the target system
--version Print the linker version
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a description of all the command line options:
-(, --start-group
Start a library group. The libraries specified within a group are searched multiple times to resolve crossreferences within the libraries. Normally, crossreferences are only resolved within a library, that is the library is searched multiple times. Libraries specified later on the command line cannot reference otherwise unreferenced symbols in libraries specified earlier, because the linker has already handled them. Library groups are a solution for this problem, because the linker will search repeatedly through all libraries specified in the group, until all possible open symbol references have been satisfied.
-), --end-group
End a library group. See the explanation of the
--start-group
option.
-h, --help
Print the short option summary shown above.
-m name, --mapfile name
This option (which needs an argument that will used as a filename for the generated map file) will cause the linker to generate a map file. The map file does contain a detailed overview over the modules used, the sizes for the different segments, and a table containing exported symbols.
-o name
The -o switch is used to give the name of the default output file. Depending on your output configuration, this name may NOT be used as name for the output file. However, for the builtin configurations, this name is used for the output file name.
-t sys, --target sys
The argument for the -t switch is the name of the target system. Since this
switch will activate a builtin configuration, it may not be used together
with the
-C
option. The following target
systems are currently supported:
There are a few more targets defined but neither of them is actually supported.
-u sym[:addrsize], --force-import sym[:addrsize]
Force an import of a symbol. While object files are always linked to the
output file, regardless if there are any references, object modules from
libraries get only linked in if an import can be satisfied by this module.
The --fore-import
option may be used to add a reference to a symbol and
as a result force linkage of the module that exports the identifier.
The name of the symbol may optionally be followed by a colon and an address size specifier. If no address size is specified, the default address size for the target machine is used.
Please note that the symbol name needs to have the internal representation, meaning you have to prepend an underline for C identifiers.
-v, --verbose
Using the -v option, you may enable more output that may help you to locate problems. If an undefined symbol is encountered, -v causes the linker to print a detailed list of the references (that is, source file and line) for this symbol.
-vm
Must be used in conjunction with
-m
(generate map file). Normally the map file will not include empty segments
and sections, or unreferenced symbols. Using this option, you can force the
linker to include all this information into the map file.
-C
This gives the name of an output config file to use. See section 4 for more
information about config files. -C may not be used together with
-t
.
-D sym=value, --define sym=value
This option allows to define an external symbol on the command line. Value
may start with a '$' sign or with 0x
for hexadecimal values,
otherwise a leading zero denotes octal values. See also the
SYMBOLS section in the configuration file.
-L path, --lib-path path
Specify a library search path. This option may be used more than once. It
adds a directory to the search path for library files. Libraries specified
without a path are searched in current directory, in the directory given in
the LD65_LIB
environment variable, and in the list of directories
specified using --lib-path
.
-Ln
This option allows you to create a file that contains all global labels and
may be loaded into VICE emulator using the ll
(load label) command. You
may use this to debug your code with VICE. Note: Older versions had some
bugs in the label code. If you have problems, please get the latest VICE
version.
-S addr, --start-addr addr
Using -S you may define the default starting address. If and how this address is used depends on the config file in use. For the builtin configurations, only the "none", "apple2" and "apple2enh" systems honor an explicit start address, all other builtin config provide their own.
-V, --version
This option print the version number of the linker. If you send any suggestions or bugfixes, please include this number.
--cfg-path path
Specify a config file search path. This option may be used more than once.
It adds a directory to the search path for config files. A config file given
with the
-C
option that has no path in
its name is searched in the current directory, in the directory given in the
LD65_CFG
environment variable, and in the list of directories specified
using --cfg-path
.
--dbgfile name
Specify an output file for debug information. Available information will be
written to this file. Using the -g
option for the compiler and assembler
will increase the amount of information available. Please note that debug
information generation is currently being developed, so the format of the
file and it's contents are subject to change without further notice.
--lib file
Links a library to the output. Use this command line option instead of just naming the library file, if the linker is not able to determine the file type because of an unusual extension.
--obj file
Links an object file to the output. Use this command line option instead of just naming the object file, if the linker is not able to determine the file type because of an unusual extension.
--obj-path path
Specify an object file search path. This option may be used more than once.
It adds a directory to the search path for object files. An object file
passed to the linker that has no path in its name is searched in current
directory, in the directory given in the LD65_OBJ
environment variable,
and in the list of directories specified using --obj-path
.

Machine Learning is cooool!
I promised this in the last one, so here it is, a detailed explanation of one of my Machine Learning assignments. This is the first time we have had a somewhat challenging, both computationally and intellectually, assignment and boy is it cool. Machine Learning has become a really big thing over the last couple decades, and to contribute to its growth there have been many databases built which contain massive amounts of data which you can use to test your networks and learn about ML. In this assignment we used a 60000 data point set which contained hand written digits from 0-9. The idea of the assignment was to create a network which could correctly classify the digit written.
This is what the input data look like in their raw form before we transform them into something more useful for our purposes.
Before we can do anything of any significance, we have to import all the libraries that will carry us on their shoulders during this whirlwind of a journey.
import tensorflow
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense, Conv2D, Flatten, Dropout, MaxPooling2D
from keras.optimizers import Adam
from keras.datasets import mnist
from keras.utils import to_categorical, np_utils
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from keras.callbacks import History
import pandas as pd
We rely on a lot of dependencies here to make this project as streamlined as possible. Most of the tools we will use will come from Keras, a ML library which greatly simplifies the work that goes into creating a Neural Net. This particular network is going to be what is called a 2D Convolutional Neural Network, which essentially means that it uses convolution to identify patterns in two dimensional inputs to increase the effectiveness of the network. To make a CNN, we rely on classes such as Conv2D, Flatten, etc. to provide us with key functionality, but we’ll get to that in more detail later. Next we have to get all of our data and separate it into training and testing inputs and outputs. This is very simple with the MNIST data, as it is built into Keras already. All we need to write is
(tr_in, tr_out), (tst_in, tst_out) = mnist.load_data()
This is a simple and quick method to sort out our inputs and outputs, now we can move on to more interesting things.
We start by normalizing and resizing our data in a way that our network can handle. Each pixel in our image will contain a value between 0-255, but we want this to be 0-1, this is very straight forward and can be done simply in 2 lines:
tr_in = tr_in / 255
tst_in = tst_in / 255
Our next step is to resize our data into a vector of a dimensionality that makes sense for 2-dimensional convolution, once again this is simple, although the values take a minute to wrap your head around. tr_in.shape[0] gives us the number of inputs and 28 is the width and height of each image.
tr_in = tr_in.reshape(tr_in.shape[0], 28, 28, 1)
tr_in = tr_in.astype('float32')
tst_in = tst_in.reshape(tst_in.shape[0], 28, 28, 1)
tst_in = tst_in.astype('float32')
Next, we use One-Hot encoding to turn our training and testing output vectors into a size 10 output which contains the boolean value of which digit the image represents.
num_classes = 10
tr_out = np_utils.to_categorical(tr_out, num_classes)
tst_out = np_utils.to_categorical(tst_out, num_classes)
where num_classes is the total number of options between 0-9, thus 10.
Now we come across the most difficult part of this entire quest, creating the model. This is a mainly trial and error process, and it’s very possible you could build a model slightly more accurate than mine, if so I congratulate you. My model consists of 4 2D convolutional layers, 2 pooling layers, and a dense layer.
def create_model():
# create model
model = Sequential()
model.add(Conv2D(14, (3,3), input_shape=(28,28,1), activation = 'relu'))
model.add(Conv2D(38, (3,3), activation = 'relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.3))
model.add(MaxPooling2D((2,2)))
model.add(Conv2D(28, (3,3), activation = 'selu'))
model.add(Conv2D(52, (3,3), activation = 'selu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.2))
model.add(MaxPooling2D(2,2))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(20, activation = 'selu'))
model.add(Dense(10, activation = 'softmax'))
# Compile model
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['acc'])
return model
What we need to focus on here is our number of layers, types of layers, input shape, activations, loss function, optimizer, and metrics… so a lot. As for the layers, this is the combination I found to work best for me. I use 4 convolutional filters to find patterns in the images, and then pool them twice. I throw in a couple dropouts to make sure my model isn’t moving in a direction which could slow or impede its progress. I flatten out the 2D data before finally puting it through a traditional dense layer and then normalize it once more for a 10 parameter output. I find Adam to be the most effective optimizer for my purposes, and as for loss function and accuracy, categorical cross entropy and ‘acc’ are simple and effective functions for categorical outputs like we have here.
We then have to train model on our input data and evaluate it against our test data. We do this using the fit and evaluate functions build into Keras.
model = create_model()
history = model.fit(tr_in, tr_out, batch_size = batch_size, epochs = epochs, validation_split = .1)
eval = model.evaluate(tst_in, tst_out)
When we run our code, this is the output we see. Over a measly 2 epochs, we see a testing accuracy of 97.2% which is a pretty reasonable accuracy for such a simplistic network. I find that if I run my program multiple times, I find that my accuracy varies anywhere from 97-99%. There’s a lot to be learned here, but overall I would call this a very successful first interesting project.
My next post should be less technical than this, but if you found this interesting and would like me to do more similar to it, let me know.
See ya in the next one,
Stefan
