Morabaraba is an ancient and traditional African board game that has been played for thousands of years. Its origins predate recorded history in Africa. Today, Morabaraba is played in several countries — there is even a World Championship and South African players have been awarded national colours. It has been claimed that approximately 40% of South Africans know how to play Morabaraba — which would be about 20-m people! Morabaraba is an accessible game that is easy to learn, although its strategic and tactical aspects run deep. While it may be played on specially-produced boards (or computer software) with special counters, it is simple enough that a board can easily be scratched on a stone or into sand, with coins or pebbles, or whatever comes to hand, used as the pieces. It is far easier to learn than chess or draughts and the rules can be internalised in a mere few minutes. The game is, however, not just a variation of noughts and crosses and has been described as subtle and thought-provoking. On the surface this popular game seems to be a simple variant of the European game Nine Men’s Morris (also known as Muehle, Mill or Merelles). On closer scrutiny it seems more likely that Morabaraba evolved from Mancala games, known to date back to ancient Egypt. A Morabaraba board has actually been found carved into the Great Pyramid of Khufu. One can only speculate as to whether the board was perhaps placed there for the Pharaoh to use in his afterlife, or maybe for the relaxation purposes of the stonemasons. If the board is indeed the same age as the pyramid then the game could be dated back to 2560 BC! Closer to home, Morabaraba boards that are 800 years old have been found at Mapungubwe in South Africa. Morabaraba, derived from the English Morris, is its Shangaan name and the one which has come to be actively used in promoting the game. In South Africa it is also commonly known by the Xhosa form of the name umlabalaba. The name is ultimately derived from Latin merellus meaning a gaming counter. In the traditional European game the counters are commonly referred to as “men”, but in the South African version the counters are referred to as “cows”, the game being particularly popular amongst youth who herd cattle. Over the centuries Morabaraba has played an important role in African culture, and has been used to teach herdboys an appreciation for tactical thinking, as well as evaluating the strategic skills of a chief’s advisers. The game is taken very seriously by its players and, according to legend, African chiefs would select the best Morabaraba players as their advisors and council members! With a recent revival of interest in traditional African culture, Morabaraba is being well received, and is thus being promulgated by many organisations, as well as the department of Sport and Recreation SA (SRSA) as part of the annual Indigenous Games tournaments supported by the department. Building a New Identity The game obtained official recognition from SRSA, as well as the National Sports Commission (NSC), SASCOCs predecessor, in 1996. Thus, South Africans may obtain Protea colours in the sport. Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has taken on the mandate of putting Morabaraba on a sound sporting footing in South Africa and internationally. They promulgated a standard set of rules, and organise tournaments at regional, national and international levels. They also designed, and registered, a Morabaraba board and counters that have to be used in all official local and international competitions: the board has annotations along the side and the MSSA logo appears on the board and counters. According to Colin Webster, president of MSSA, the organisation’s members have invested financially, and through devoting their time, to the development of the game. This has resulted in regular, and very successful, tournaments being held across SA, helping to popularise the traditional game with a new generation of players, he says. They run an annual championship for mineworkers, as well as the SA national and provincial championships, school national and provincial championships, and inter-school leagues. In order to qualify for the national team trials, a player has to finish in the top 20% or top 3, whichever is greater, of a recognised provincial and/or national championship. The national team is then selected at the national team trials. Any registered player can enter the provincial and national championships. MSSA is affiliated to the International Wargames Federation, which allowed for the establishment of an official Morabaraba World Championship. Webster claims that through MSSA the game has grown enormously in both numbers and stature. “Not only has a player (David Hlophe) received the President’s Award — Silver Class — in 2002, but there are now universities, like the University of Johannesburg, that offer bursaries to players who excel in the game,” says Webster. “From having argued with the NSC in 1996 to have Morabaraba recognised as a sport, it is most rewarding to see the joy on the faces of players receiving provincial and national colours.” According to a report published in the Sowetan, it is estimated that as many as 40% of all South Africans have at some stage played Morabaraba on a recreational basis. Webster points out that the competitive field is a lot smaller. “The largest entry that the MSSA has ever had in any one year is 36 000,” he says. While the official boards with notation must be used in all the MSSA-organised Morabaraba championships and international competitions, there are millions of South Africans that play Morabaraba on a non-competitive basis, even if the Sowetan estimate is only half correct. When Morabaraba is played for leisure, any board and counter may be used — whether self-made, or supplied by the growing number of distributors supplying retailers. Which can translate into sales of thousands of boards, even if only 10% players choose to buy a board, instead of drawing their own. Webster is excited that the game is growing every year on a global level. “There is no doubt that with the right support, Morabaraba can be one of the biggest games in the world,” he says.
General:
1. The rules for the version, as depicted in the above image, are known as the Generally Accepted Rules (GAR).
2. For competition play, the board may be made of any material as long as the board has the approved notation.
3. Board sizes are:
• For Provincial and National Championships – 490mm x 490mm (Cows being 45mm in diameter and 5mm in depth), and
• All other competitions – 300mm x 300mm (Cows being 30mm in diameter and 10mm in depth).
4. All cows shall have the MSSA logo on the cow.
5. There are 24 junctions on the board.
6. Each player is issued with a set of 12 cows. One set being of a dark colour, and one set being of a light colour.
7. The colour white may not be used for cows as the colour may confuse players as to whether a cow has been placed.
8. Only players who have won the MSSA's national championships, or who have received Protea Colours for the game of Morabaraba, may use cows which are green in colour. Such cows are awarded by the MSSA in numbered sets. Such players have the right to use such cows instead of any such cows as supplied by any Tournament organiser in any event falling under the jurisdiction of the MSSA.
9. The outside ring is known as the “Exterior Ring” and the junctions are numbered clockwise from from the top left hand corner E1 to E8.
10. The middle ring is known as the “Principle Ring” and the junctions are numbered clockwise from from the top left hand corner A1 to A8.
11. The inner ring is known as the “Restricted Ring” and the junctions are numbered clockwise from from the top left hand corner R1 to R8.
12. The notation was developed for the MSSA by Dr. Evgenii Rabiner.
13. Notation shall be scored as follows:
• When placing cows – just write the junction's address, that is “A1”, or “E5”, etc.
• When moving cows – write down the initial junction's address with a hyphen and then the final function's address, for example: “A1 – A8”
• When moving a cow to form a line and 'shooting' one of your opponent's cows, write down the initial junction's address with a hyphen an then the final function's address a multiplication sign and the address of the cow that has just been 'shot', for example: “A1 – A8 x E1”
• Notation of a typical game may appear as follows:
How to play:
Play consists of three stages:
Stage 1:
• Each player starts with 12 tokens called "cows".
• The player who has been allocated the dark colour begins.
• Starting with a clear board, each player alternatively places one cow at a time on a junction (circle). The aim is to create rows of three, either vertically, diagonally, or horizontally. Cows may only be placed on unoccupied junctions.
• When three-in-a-row is achieved, the player may remove (shoot) one of the opponent's cows. A player can not shoot an opponent's "three-in-a-row" cows if there are other cows on the board left to shoot.
• Only one of the opponent's cows may be shot at a time, even if two (or more) lines of three-in-a-row are achieved with one move.
• Once a cow is shot, it shall not be used in play again.
Stage 2
• When all twelve cows of each player have been placed on the board, cows may be moved from one junction to another. A move consists of moving a cow from one junction to an unoccupied junction immediately linked and adjacent to that junction.
• Players may break their own lines of three-in-a-row in order to make new lines, or simply reposition their cows.
• Cows may be moved back and forth to the same two junctions repeatedly. A three-in-a-row may be made, broken and remade repeatedly.
• Notwithstanding the rule that lines may be broken and remade repeatedly, if a player breaks a line to immediately create a new line of three ‘cows’, such player may not move such cow back to the original junction in his/her next move, if it creates a new line.
For example:
Should a player have a ‘cow’ on the junction marked E6, such player may move it to the junction marked as A6 to immediately create a new line. However, in such player’s next move, he/she may not move the cow back to A6, instead, such player must do another move before moving the cow back to E6 to immediately create a new line.
• Each time a three-in-a-row is remade, an opponent's cow shall be shot.
Stage 3
• When a player has lost all but three cows, then a player may move a cow to any vacant junction on the board with each move.
Winning the game
• The game is won when the opponent cannot move any cows: or when the opponent has lost all but two cows.
• When a player is down to three cows, and neither player is able to shoot an opponent's cow within ten moves, the game is a draw.

To the CSI Chapter,
I hope this finds everyone safe and healthy! I wanted to bring two things to your attention.
First, as we near the end of the semester and begin to turn in our grades, I wanted to clarify some confusion around an action being taken. An email was sent out recently by a group of professors call for a grade strike/delay this week. The letter is confusing and I have from members of our chapter who were confused.
To be clear, at the last two PSC Delegate Assembly meetings in April and May, there was a resolution on the floor asking professors not to submit their grades until the last day. This resolution was defeated in April by something like a 64-44 vote rejecting this action. In May it was soundly defeated by a 90-40 count. The PSC DA rejected this action twice.
The email that went out mentions the PSC and this is what has confused people. Any professor can do as they wish, but the action of withholding submission of grades until the last day is not an action the PSC as a union has endorsed. For the sake of transparency, I voted against this action last week.
Second, we’ll be holding our fourth labor-management meeting since April 13 with the administration tomorrow. We will be bringing many of the issues and concerns expressed at our last chapter and recent Town Hall. We’ll report to the chapter later in the week, along with strategies to continue our fight to advocate for the health and safety of all our members, as well as, fighting to save jobs for all our members.
In closing, the chapter EC wishes everyone safety and health. We want to express our deepest gratitude and respect for all the work and sacrifices this community has made to do all we can for our students, and for one another. This has been a challenging, traumatic semester, but we are very proud of everyone’s sense of integrity and compassion in the face of such a grave pandemic.
By taking care of ourselves, we take care of each other.
With gratitude,
CSI Chapter Chair and EC

Example 1 • Example 2 • Example 3
AutoHarmony is a tool that lets you procedurally compose chorales, using dynamic programming and common-practice voice leading conventions. It's built on Music21.
The main input to the program is the chord progression.
This should be given in one or more lines, each of the format
KEY: CHORD1 CHORD2 CHORD3...
, where the key is the
name of some
key signature
(for example: B-
for B-flat major, or
f#
for F-sharp minor). Each chord is expressed using
Roman numeral notation, like I
, V
, V43
,
viio7
, or bII6
. This determines the
notes and the inversion.
For example, here is a short 8-note chord progression based in B-flat major.
B-: I I6 IV V43/ii ii V V7 I
You can also write longer chord progressions, such as the following chorale that starts in D major, but then modulates to A major, B minor, and then back to A major and D major.
D: I vi I6 IV I64 V I
D: I6 V64 I IV6 V I6 V
D: I IV6 I6 IV I64 V7 vi
D: I6 V43 I I6 ii65 V I
A: I IV64 I vi ii6 V7 I
b: iv6 i64 iv iio6 i64 V7 i
A: IV IV V I6 ii V65 I
D: IV6 I V65 I ii65 V7 I
Note that longer chorales will take more time to generate. This is an expensive operation. If many people are using the site at once, the server may slow down.
You can also specify the
time signature and rhythm when generating a
chorale. Time signature is specified in the usual notation
N/M
, while rhythm is specified as a space-separated
list of the lengths of each chord, in units of quarter notes.
For example, a rhythm of 1/2 1 1/2 2
corresponds to:
an eighth note, a quarter note, an eighth note, and a half note.
You can also encode more advanced rhythms; a hemiola is
represented by 2/3 2/3 2/3
.
 I hope you find it useful and/or inspiring. There are links to pre-generated examples available at the top of the page. If you're curious about how this all works, feel free to check out the open-source code.


Badly. They can be keyframed, but it's going to be a dog to use them because the DXSDK code is slow and I haven't bothered rewriting it. I will, later, but for now it takes up a bunch of memory.
the screenshots (except the ogre) are taken with subsurfacing level 1 or 2 on, so they look alot smoother than they actually are
they're actually decently low-poly, and I can reduce them more automatically
Thus spake the master programmer, "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless"

Status Window
The Magenta Status Window, accessed by using Tools -> Status Window, is just another way of looking at your user lists.
Cyan employees, Cyan guests, and regular chatters are all shown in this window, and are discerned by differences in their icon appearance (e.g. the Cyan employee icons all wear cyan-colored shirts). Hovering your mouse pointer over an icon will give you a little information about the user, in particular their mangled IP address.
You can change how the list view is shown by going to the View menu, and selecting either Large Icons or Report. The report view will display the mangled IP address, along with the user name.
The File menu allows you to either Close the status window, or Save a file containing all of the users and their associated information. This file has an extension of .log, and is formatted using the Windows INI format.
Selecting Log All Incoming Packets will prompt you for a filename, and, following that, it will log all usernames every time the Chat Server sends a who list update.

Marriage Services
The Islamic Association of Raleigh Congratulates you!
Please note the following guidelines to help make your ceremony run smoothly:
Obtain a marriage license before the IAR marriage ceremony from a North Carolina Register of Deeds office. Additional information available at<PHONE_NUMBER>
The following individuals should be physically present at the marriage ceremony:
Groom
Bride
Father of the bride or an equivalent Mahram (relative guardian) to her, serving as Wali
2 Muslim witnesses (IAR can provide if needed, with advance notice)
The following documentation will be required on the day of the marriage at IAR:
Marriage license (the register of deed)
No Marriage is performed without valid Marriage License.
Photo Identification for bride, groom, and witnesses
An agreement specifying the amount of the Mahr (dowry) agreed upon and how/when it will be paid.
We are saddened to hear of the situation and pray for a speedy resolution.
As for IAR services, we do not offer separate processing of Islamic divorce and unlike marriage, there is no paperwork to complete in the mosque. The husband is initiates talaq (divorce initiated from husband), or the wife pursues khulu (divorce initiated by wife) via the civil divorce process, and observe the Islamic ethical guidelines within that process.
For support with resources in continuing to work on the marriage, please feel free to meet with IAR Counseling Referral Services.

class detectionCatalog(catalog.Catalog) |

Inherits from the base class Catalog.
Overrides the setpars and run methods
Example usage:
Detection Catalog creation:
===========================
import detectionCatalog
dcat = detectionCatalog.detectionCatalog(obs) # Create an instance
# obs is the observation object (instance of ObsDir)
dcat.setpars()
dcat.run() # make the detection catalog |
| |
Methods defined here:
- run(self)
- override the run method of the Catalog class to run the detection image only.
- setpars(self)
- override the setpars method and set the par files for the detection Image.
Methods inherited from catalog.Catalog:
- __init__(self, obs, richField=None, excludeList=None)
- getinpar(self, param)
- Returns value of input parameter given a parameter name
- getoutpar(self, param)
- Returns value of input parameter given a parameter name
- mkMsg(self)
- create and write module level message for this class.
Most of this is just compiling the info. meta in a dictionary
of lists where each list is a list of tuples describing the
tag lines for the particular section of the message. This tuple
format conforms to that used by the xmlMessage class which is
modeled on basic python argument passing, i.e. (key,*value,**attr).
- setinpar(self, param, value)
- Sets value of input parameter given a parameter name and value
- writeXml(self)
- writeXml calls the xmlUtil catalog functions on a list of source catalogs
produced by SExtractor of the observation object and also calls the
markupImage function (xmlUtil) on the segmentation images produced
by SExtractor. New requirements for the markup now mean the pipeline
has to include the filter name in the catalog tag of the xml file.
filterName func returns the _useful_ filter name, i.e. the one that is
not clear. This is now part of the argument list that goes to the
xmlStartCat function. A new requirement has been placed upon
this writeXml method to allow certain fields of a catalog file
to be excluded from the xml markup. This is done to avoid redundant
fields for the same objects being sent to the SDA. See Bugzilla
bug #1436.

So I'm doing Sylow's theorems in lean, and one of the proofs requires me to synthesize a fintype
instance for the product of a subtype of a subtype of a finite type and a subtype of a quotient of a subtype of a finite type. This is complicated enough that the normal depth isn't good enough, but a deeper depth is good enough. Is it approved to increase the type class inference depth to deal with situations like these? The offending code is line 404 of https://github.com/dorhinj/mathlib/blob/sylow/group_theory/sylow.lean
Update. Proving one extra lemma has solved this problem.

Menus appear upon interaction with a button, action, or other control. They display a list of choices, with one choice per line.
Menu items may be disabled if not applicable to a certain context. Contextual menus dynamically change their available menu items based on the current state of the app.
Simple menus (mobile and tablet)
Cascading menus (desktop)
Tree menus
List menus
Menus dropdowns appear above other in-app elements.
 It contains at least two menu items.
Each menu item consists of a discrete option or action that can affect the app, the view, or selected elements within a view.
The label of a button or control should concisely and accurately reflect the items within the menu. Menu bars typically use single words as labels, like “file,” “view,” and “edit.” Other contexts may require longer labels.
Menus display a consistent set of menu items. A menu item may be enabled or disabled based on the current state of the application.
Contextual menus dynamically change their available menu items based on the current state of the application.
Some app states may result in a contextual menu with only a single menu item. For example, when highlighting text on a web page, Android display only the Copy menu item, as users cannot cut or paste text.
Each menu item is limited to a single line of text (a single word or short phrase) that describes the action it will perform when selected.
Menu items may also contain:
Menus with static content should have the most frequently used menu items placed at the top of the menu.
Menus with dynamic content may have other behavior, such as placing previously used fonts at the top of the menu. The order can change based on user actions.
Menu items can reveal nested submenus. Ideally, limit nesting to one level deep, as it can be difficult to navigate multiple nested submenus.
Submenu open direction (dropdown position) can be also specified. Available options are: 'top-left', 'top-right', 'bottom-left', 'bottom-right', 'overlay-left', 'overlay-right', and 'auto' (behaves like 'bottom-right', but also has browser bounds detection).
Displaying actions as disabled, rather than removing them, lets the user know they exist under the right conditions.
For example, Redo is disabled when there is nothing to redo. Cut and Copy are disabled until content is selected.
If the height of the main Menu or a submenu is specified and the content overflows, the content becomes scrollable.

Gender Ministry announces new programme to assist adolescent fathers
Gender Minister, Olivia Grange, has announced the start of a new programme to assist adolescent fathers to live up to their responsibilities.
The Young Fathers Jamaica Initiative will be implemented by the Women’s Centre Foundation of Jamaica, which runs the Programme for Adolescent Mothers.
Grange made the announcement in her message to mark International Men’s Day, which is being observed today.
She indicated that the new initiative is designed to “assist adolescent fathers to become outstanding dads.”
Grange also announced the start of the #MentorMe2020 programme which will target at-risk young men.
According to Grange, #MentorMe2020 — to be led by the Bureau of Gender Affairs — will see “outstanding men helping high school boys to become outstanding and balanced men of the future.”
International Men’s Day is being observed under the theme “Building Strong Men through Health and Wellness: Balance di ting”.
Grange said her Ministry will be leading targeted interventions across the country to address some of the health and wellness issues facing men.
“Everyday men across Jamaica make tremendous sacrifices for their families, our communities and our nation. Today, we acknowledge all that you do for us and express our gratitude.
“But we know that in your quest to ensure that the rest of us are okay, you oftentimes don’t pay enough attention to your own wellbeing; and that is why for this year’s celebration we focus on Building Strong Men through Health and Wellness to Balance di Ting.”

C.2 Practical ExamplesIn the rest of this appendix we'll describe how to use phpMyAdmin to accomplish some common tasks. C.2.1 User MaintenanceUser maintenance in phpMyAdmin functions much as it does in command-line MySQL operation. The administrator can deal with global as well as database and table-level privileges. To administer global privileges, select Privileges from the start page, which then displays something similar to Figure C-4. Once you have chosen a user to add or remove privileges from, click the "edit" link, which will present you with a user editing interface, as shown in Figure C-5. Figure C-4. phpMyAdmin global privileges interfaceFigure C-5. phpMyAdmin user edit interfaceFrom here, most of the functions are self-explanatory; they allow administrators to add or remove global privileges, edit any table-specific privileges the user may have, or change the user's password. You can also clone the user, creating one with the same privileges as the original user, but a different username. This can be handy for adding new database administrators or other users who have complicated privileges. Perhaps you wish to see which users have access to a particular database. From the databases list, select Check Privileges next to the database you want to check for access on. A list of all users and the privileges granted to them will be displayed (along with links for editing those privileges), as shown in Figure C-6. Figure C-6. phpMyAdmin database level privileges interfaceC.2.2 Simple SQL CommandsOften, as an administrator, you will want to give users the ability to issue simple SQL commands against the database, but you don't necessarily want to open up the server to login accounts in general or to give a "non-sysadmin" user the ability to get a login shell. In these types of situations, allowing the user in question to use the phpMyAdmin interface may be the ideal solution. There are two basic interfaces available to the user for issuing SQL commands. One of these is a very simple, raw text area that allows the users to type in the SQL command they wish to execute. Simply click on the SQL tab after selecting a table to work with. There is some helpful JavaScript magic on this page that allows the user to select column names from a select element to the right of the free-form text area, so that the user can minimize his typing, as shown in Figure C-7. Figure C-7. phpMyAdmin SQL interfaceOnce executed, the resulting records is displayed as returned by the user's query. It is possible to edit, or delete an entry by clicking the note-pad button or the trash-can button, respectively, next to the record you wish to edit or delete. The other basic record selection method is the Select tab. This is designed for simple queries and allows you to impose simple restrictions on the query being performed, as shown in Figure C-8. The results of that query are displayed in the same format as the results of the SQL query, and likewise allow the user to edit or delete specific entries returned by the query. Figure C-8. phpMyAdmin select interfaceC.2.3 Exporting and Downloading DataThe phpMyAdmin interface makes retrieving remote dumps of the database as easy as clicking some buttons on a web form. There are two different Export tabs, one if you are viewing the database as a whole, the other if you are looking at a selected table. They are virtually identical except that the database-wide version also includes a select item for which tables in the database you wish to export. The table-wide interface can be seen in Figure C-9. Figure C-9. phpMyAdmin export interfaceAs you can see, there are several export options available to the user. If you are looking for a mysqldump-style export for possible import into another MySQL installation, you can select that option. There are CSV options for "normal" use as well as customized CSV output to make Microsoft Excel happy. The different export options each enable different options in the panel just to the right, specific to the export style in question. Once you select Go, the data will be formatted per your selection and output to your browser via the Web, where you can copy and paste it or save it to your local disk. Alternatively, you may check the "Save as file" checkbox and simply save the downloaded file to disk. Note that you might see slightly odd behavior, though, if you use this feature to export as XML. Your browser of choice may decide to try to "handle" the XML by displaying it, instead of allowing you to simply save it to disk. |

Making Decisions
Learn how to use boolean statements to branch from one option to another. If there are two possible paths, we can decide which path to take in a particular set of circumstances. If the our program is in a particular state then we do one thing, if it is in another state then we do something else.
In this program there should be three different kinds of branches:
- A simple if statement
- Two different kinds of of if-else statements.
- A switch statement
We will call them all on button clicks.
Branching and Conditional Statements
When we write code we often need to test if a condition is true or false in order to make a decision. In JavaScript we have three conditional statements:
- if statement - test if a condition is true or false. Execute code only if it is true.
- if...else statement - test is a condition is true or false and do one thing if it is true and another if it is false.
- switch statement;- Sometimes length if-else statements can be hard to read. switch statements provide an alternative syntax.
You will be asked to test and create some code in this assignment. To get started, create a file called javascript-tests/branching.js. Do your work in this file.
if Statement
const height = 5; if (height >= 5) { console.log('We have a big one'); }
if-else Statement
We can have one or more else statements.
const height = 5; if (height >= 5) { console.log('We have a big one'); } else { console.log('We have a little one'); }
More complex:
const height = 5; if (height >= 5) { console.log('We have a big one'); } else if (height >= 0) { console.log('We have a little one'); } else { console.log('We have a negative number or invalid number') }
Switch statements
height = 'little'; switch(height) { case 'little': console.log('Switch: a little one is smaller than five'); break; case ('big'): console.log('Switch: a big one is five or greater'); break; default: console.log('We do not know about this one.') }
Use console.log for Debugging
There are two main reasons for using console.log:
- When we are writing browser-based applications we use it to help us debug our applications. For instance, if we want to know if an onclick event gets called, we can put concole.log inside the event to see let us know that it was executed:
simpleBranchAction.onclick = (event) => { console.log('SIMPLE BRANCH ACTION ON CLICK WAS CALLED'); let height = 4; // AND SO ON }
Remember that we need to open the Developer Tools and turn to the Console page to see the output.
- The other reason to use console.log is when we work at the command line, and then console.log can be a primary means of creating output for our program.
Learn
Learn about Branching on Elvenware.
Learn about operators
Learn about variables
Turn it in
In these examples we considered anything 5 or larger or as big, and anything less than 5 as small. Rewrite the code to have the turning point be not 5, but 25. Put your work in a file called javascript-tests/branching.js and javascript-tests/branching.html. Provide the URL for your repository and a link to your HTML file running on the GitHub pages live site. Link from your home page to branching.html.

10.2 – The commercial potential of the Internet begins to surface
Source: New York Times, 9 February 1990. Telecommunications, 1 June 1991.


I’m a freelance graphic designer, but at various times over the years I’ve had to figure out how to program. Mostly in silly languages, like that weird scripting junk that ancient old Macromedia Director used.
Kinda lame.
So now, I’ve said goodbye to all my clients, and I’m closing up shop to head south and learn to program for real. With real languages. Like Ruby. That’s exciting.
(And kinda freaky.)
This web page is actually part of an exercise. So I’ve already started! Since I’m supposed to have several paragraphs, allow me to introduce my old friend Lorem Ipsum. It’s what designers use when there isn’t anything real to say:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
If for some reason, you like lorem ipsum, you can grab it from this Lorem Generator.
You can email me, or see what I’ve been doing for the past 15 years at gannoncurran.com. Here’s a taste:

| 4.5.2 Email senders |
Email senders (Gmail workers) are used to send messaging site accessing email and notifications to users.
To maintain email senders, select item 'System Settings' on main menu (figure 2.1.3), then click on the button 'Email Senders' (figure <IP_ADDRESS>), screen
like figure <IP_ADDRESS> will be displayed to show you existing email sender list.
|

Figure <IP_ADDRESS> |
| |
|
If you want to add a new email sender, click the button 'Add Email Sender' on figure <IP_ADDRESS>, screen like figure <IP_ADDRESS> will be seen. You could input
email address, login username, login password, Gmail SMTP server, and SMTP server port number in it. Since only Gmail is supported, so SMTP server and
port number are always 'smtp.gmail.com' and 587 respectively. Click on 'Save' button to add a new email sender, then it will be switched back to the
email sender list, and your newly added email sender will be shown on the list.
|
| |
Figure <IP_ADDRESS> |
| |
To modify an email sender, click on the email address on the list, then screen like figure <IP_ADDRESS> will be displayed. Details of selected email sender
will be shown, just modify it's data, and clicking the 'Save' button will update the selected email sender.
To delete an email sender, click cross icon on the 'Delete' column of selected email sender in the list (figure <IP_ADDRESS>), a dialog box will show up for
you to confirm the email sender deletion. Clicking on 'OK' button will remove the selected email sender.

I pulled four years worth of data from a Facebook group via Facebook's API
The group yielded 35mb+ of data, including 625k+ commented words
I used d3.js, plotly, and sentiment analysis to harvest the data
Obviously, I've replaced the users' real names with placeholders to protect their privacy. For reference, however, I am User #6.
This data paints a very unfortunate picture for User #7 - and as you may be able to tell from the data - User #7 is the heel of the group.
The group is, generally, a sports related discussion forum. Should you be interested in more infomation on the group itself, see the public Twitter page.
I spent roughly 10-15 hours on this project; I had a ton of fun.
I used, and made a PR for, the KyleAMathews/facebook-export repository to retrieve the data from the Facebook group.
To visually display the data, I used d3.js for the user pages and plotly for the 3D group chart. I plan on using alchemy for deeper sentiment analysis and NLP.
The group yielded 35mb+ of data, including 625k+ commented words. Obviously, you don't want to process the entirety of this data within the DOM. I built an engine to distill these large data dumps into usable chunks; if you're interested in reviewing that, please check my Github repository.

Much like League of Legends, the game of Chess takes a day to learn but a
lifetime to master. Conversely, the game of Pong takes five minutes to learn
and a day master. We've decided to combine both of these incredibly influential
and renowned games into one even more influential and renowned game: Ultra Chess 1987 Bronze Edition.
In simplest terms, the premise of UC1987BE is that you play both games at the same time. Pong is modified so there is one Cannon and one Paddle.  If the ball scores
three times before you move, you lose your turn and the computer will move for you.
You can also play one of the alternate game modes. Instead of Pong, there will
be a move timer. Make your move within 30 seconds, or else the game will move for you.
You can also disable both of these and play a simple game of networked chess.

In supersampling we sample more than 1 sample per pixel. These samples can be at regularly spaced intervals. For example, we might compute an image at 2K by 2K or 4K by 4K points and and display at 1K by 1K pixel resolution. Sampling at 2K x 2K for a 1K x 1K image increases the number of samples and graphics computations (and Z-buffer requirements for scan-line graphics) by a factor of 4. An alternative method would be to sample at the corners and center of each pixel. This only increases the number of computations by a factor of two but requires increased overhead for bookkeeping (since the samples from the previous row must be stored). Supersampling has the effect of moving the Nyquist Limit to higher frequencies.
Rather than combining pixels with unweighted average (box filter) might use a weighted filter. We might even average pixel samples over several pixels , i.e. combine over a wider range with weighted average. This is an example of digital filtering. Even if we move the Nyquist Limit to higher frequencies, we will still have aliasing. Adaptive supersampling: additional sampling in region of high frequency, eg. near edges. We continue supersampling as long as |Ic - Ii| > threshold variance. It does better but requires large number of rays/samples and it is a more complicated algorithm.

Studies evaluated the effects of hexanic extracts from the fruits and flowers of Clusia fluminensis and the main component of the flower extract, a purified benzophenone (clusianone), against Aedes aegypti . The treatment of larvae with the crude fruit or flower extracts from C. fluminensis did not affect the survival of Ae. aegypti (50 mg/L), however, the flower extracts significantly delayed development of Ae. aegypti. In contrast, the clusianone (50 mg/L) isolate from the flower extract, representing 54.85% of this sample composition, showed a highly significant inhibition of survival, killing 93.3% of the larvae and completely blocking development of Ae. aegypti. The results showed, for the first time, high activity of clusianone against Ae. aegypti that both killed and inhibited mosquito development. Therefore, clusianone has potential for development as a biopesticide for controlling insect vectors of tropical diseases. Future work will elucidate the mode of action of clusianone isolated from C. fluminensis.
Many insecticides, including the organochlorines, organophosphates and carbamates, persist in the environment as toxic waste ( Miresmailli & Isman 2014 ) and are neurotoxic not only to humans, but to livestock too ( Narahashi 2000 , Biondi et al. 2012) . Furthermore, the redundant mode of action of insecticides may accelerate the emergence of cross-resistance to other pesticides ( Georghiou 1972 , Miresmailli & Isman 2014) . Therefore, new approaches for insect control need evaluating, including substances from natural sources that may have less of an environmental impact ( Isman 2006) .
One example of a pest species that is a major vector of human diseases, including urban yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus is Aedes aegypti, for which there are also many reports of populations developing resistance to different insecticides ( Braga et al. 2004 , Vontas et al . 2012). Ae. aegypti has a cosmopolitan distribution, is highly domesticated and anthropophilic ( Gubler 2011 , Powell & Tabachnick 2013 ). It is estimated that 3.6 billion people live in areas at risk from dengue infection and 390-500 million cases occur in 124-128 countries worldwide each year ( Beatty et al. 2010 , Brady et al. 2012 , Bhatt et al. 2013) . In Brazil, the current distribution of Ae. aegyptiextends to almost the whole country ( Braga & Valle 2007) , causing cyclic outbreaks of dengue fever in various regions, in which there are four main serotypes of the virus in circulation ( Bastos et al. 2012 , Dick et al. 2012) . There is neither a vaccine nor specific treatment for dengue ( Bhatt et al. 2013) , so that combating the virus is limited to elimination of the mosquito vector ( Beatty et al. 2010 , Dick et al. 2012) . Therefore, the search for new alternative strategies and increased vigilance for vector resistance have become essential for the control of this disease ( Maciel-de-Freitas et al. 2014) .
Many plant natural products have been tested as insecticides against mosquitoes ( Carvalho 2011 , Miresmailli & Isman 2014 , Reegan et al. 2014) as they are nontoxic to mammals and are promising candidates to replace conventional insecticides to which insects are becoming more resistant (Braga et al. 2004, Shaalan et al. 2005 , Cantrell et al. 2012 , Vontas et al. 2012) . In the majority of these studies, although larvicidal activity has been described for the extracts and the presence of a range of compounds sometimes detected, very few have actually identified the compounds responsible for activity together with their structure ( Navarro et al. 2015) . Some of the compounds identified have been shown to disrupt the insect endocrine system, acting as agonists or antagonists of insect hormones, killing or even preventing them reaching the adult stage ( Bowers et al. 1976 , Garcia et al. 1986) . One group of such natural plant insecticides includes the terpenes, that are related to terpenoids with insect juvenile hormone (JH) analogue activity and have been commercially used successfully as substitutes for classical insecticides in areas where insect resistance has been detected (Braga et al. 2005a,b). Apparently, no cross-resistance occurs between JH analogues and the pyrethroids which are generally used for the control of Ae. aegypti ( Braga et al. 2005a ).
Scientists, however, need to increase the number of alternative natural insecticides available for the control of Ae. aegypti in order to build up an arsenal of natural products able to counter the resilience of these mosquitoes to develop resistance. Thus, another group of natural pesticides derived from plants with potential as insect control agents are the benzophenones. Many derivatives of these compounds with different structures and a multiplicity of functions have been described (Beerhues &Liu 2009, Li et al. 2014) . Very few of these compounds have been investigated as potential insect control agents, although the insecticidal activity of benzophenones has been known for many years ( Middleton & Chadds 1973 ). Only recently has their mosquito larvicidal activity been realised with synthetic benzophenone indole analogues ( Ranganatha et al. 2013) and with the benzophenones, cariphenone A and cariphenone B, isolated from a Hypericum carinatum (da Silva et al. 2013a). In addition, a commercial preparation of benzophenones used in ultraviolet (UV) filters has been shown to disrupt the endocrine system, activating hormonal genes and altering embryonic development of Chironomus riparius ( Ozáez et al. 2014) .
One source of benzophenones is Clusia fluminensis (Planch. & Triana) (Clusiaceae), a native species from the Brazilian coast, commonly used as an ornamental plant because of its evergreen leaves and high tolerance to dehydration. Significantly, these leaves rarely show signs of herbivory, which are always undamaged and bright ( Bittrich 2010 ). In 2000, Porto et al. identified and quantified, by high performance liquid chromatography, polyisoprenylated benzophenones, including clusianone and spiritone, in resins obtained from the male flowers of C. fluminensis . Recently, clusianone from male flowers of C. fluminensis was also isolated and structurally characterised ( Silva et al. 2012 ).
In the quest for alternative natural biological control agents against mosquito larvae, the present paper reports on the larvicidal activity of hexanic extracts from C. fluminensis against Ae. aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae). Subsequently, a benzophenone (clusianone) was isolated, structurally elucidated and investigated as the source of the larvicidal activity.
Insect colonies - Eggs of Ae. aegypti, Rockefeller strain, were provided by Dr José Bento Pereira Lima [Brazilian Army Biology Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil]. They hatched in the rearing water after about 1 h and groups of 500 newly hatched larvae were placed in plastic bowls (25 x 15 x 7 cm) containing 500 mL of dechlorinated water and 500 mg of fish feed flakes (Tetramin ® Tropical Flakes). The larvae were kept in incubators BOD at 26 ± 1°C until third instars emerged after approximately 72 h.
Plant material - Flowers from male and fruits from female C. fluminensis were collected, with the permission of the Brazilian Army, in a rocky outcrop at Forte Barão do Imbuhy, in the city of Niterói, RJ. Flowers and fruits were available in the summer of 2006 and autumn of 2007, respectively. The plant material was identified by Dr Marcelo Guerra Santos and a voucher specimen was deposited at the herbarium of the Faculty of Teacher Education, Rio de Janeiro State University (licence 9213).
Preparation of plant extracts - Fruits of C. fluminensis were dried in an oven at 40°C and subsequently fragmented while whole flowers were used while still partially fresh. The crude extracts were prepared by macerating plant organs with analytical grade hexane as a solvent at room temperature. The solvent was renewed every seven days and then evaporated under reduced pressure.
Chemical analysis of crude extracts - Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) - The crude extracts obtained from flowers of C. flumi-nensis were analysed by GC-MS performed on an Agilent model 6890N gas chromatograph equipped with a mass selective detector, model 5973N. A volume of 1 µL of the solution with a concentration 1 mg/mL was injected. The following conditions were utilised: carrier gas, helium at 2.0 mLmin -1, split ratio 5:1, injector temperature 300ºC and ion source temperature 230ºC. The oven temperature was programmed from 150-300ºC at 10ºC min -1 and held at 300ºC for 15 min. Sample injection volume was 1 µL. The mass spectra of the major components of C. fluminensis flowers were analysed and compared with the Wiley mass spectral databases and the literature data.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis – The NMR spectra were acquired using a BRUKER DRX 400 spectrometer operating at 400 MHz for 1H and 100 MHz for 13C. Chemical shifts were measured relatively to an internal tetramethylsilane reference. Spectral data of clusianone was published for our group previously in Silva et al. (2012) and the purification and identification of lanosterol in Oliveira et al. (2014) . The structure of lanosterol was confirmed by MS compared to the equipment’s database (Wiley Database) and NMR.
Isolation of clusianone - The polyisoprenylated benzophenone, clusianone, was isolated as a tautomeric pair from the crude hexanic extract of flowers of C. flumi-nensis by countercurrent chromatography using the solvent system n-hexane-acetonitrile-methanol (2:1.25:0.5, v/v/v), as described by Silva et al. (2012) . The material under study is endotoxin free.
Insect bioassays - Ae. aegypti larvae were used three days after hatching and were formed into groups of 10 larvae in the third instar with six replicates. The groups were placed in 300 mL disposable plastic cups containing 50 mL of dechlorinated water. The cups were then randomly allocated to groups, with the aid of the pwgen (Windows Phone) program. The dried extracts and isolates were weighed and solubilised with 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make up to 50 μL, with a final concentration of 50 mg/L in the water test. These substances were thoroughly mixed in the water test to minimise the possibility of adhesion of particles to the hydrophobic plastic surfaces. The control groups were untreated and the solvent controls (SC) were treated solely with 0.1% DMSO used to dissolve the samples. During the tests, larvae were fed with 30 mg per cup of hamster food (Alcon ®, Brazil), immediately after completion of the tests and three days later. The results are derived from the media of the percentage of each replicate.
All experiments were followed until the death or emergence of all insects in control group. All insects remained in the BOD incubators, at 26 ± 1 °C. Counts were made daily to evaluate dead insects and developmental stages. All experiments were repeated at least twice.
Data and statistical analysis - All graphs were created with GraphPad Prism 6.01 software (GraphPad Software, USA). The graphics analysed the survival (and mortality) and the developmental course of juvenile forms and adults. The Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test compared the whole survival curves and larval and adult development (GraphPad Prism 6.01 software). No corrections for multiple comparisons were made ( Rothman 1990 ). The Barnard’s test (Barnard package v.1.3) ( Erguler 2012 , R Development Core Team 2014 ) was used to analyse the development of Ae. aegyptipupae, comparing the mean values only in a representative day indicated by an arrow in graphs. In all experiments, only p values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Ethics - Eggs of Ae. aegypti were provided by Dr José Bento Pereira Lima from insects treated according to the Ethical Principles in Animal Experimentation approved by the Ethical Committee in Animal Experimentation (Fiocruz). The protocol is from National Council for the Control of Animal Experimentation/Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (cobea.org.br), which is associated with the American Association for Animal Science, Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations, International Council for Animal Science and Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International.

The funders, from Brazilian Govern, had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish or preparation of the paper.
The bioassays with the hexanic extract of C. flumi-nensis fruit showed that in the treated groups there were no effects on the survival rates or development of Ae. aegypti ( Fig. 1 A-D).
The bioassays with the hexanic extract of C. flumi- nensis flowers (FL) showed no significant effect on Ae. aegypti survival in comparison with the SC (p = 0.1797) ( Fig. 2A). In contrast, the analyses of the effects of FL on the development of larvae to pupae and pupae to adults showed significant delays in molting (p ≤ 0.0001) between the FL-treated and SC groups ( Fig. 2B-D). Thus, on the fifth day, 88.3% of the SC group had molted to pupae, while 93.3% of the FL group were still in the larval stage ( Fig. 2B, C). Furthermore, on day 7, 81.7% of the SC had reached adults, while none of the FL group had reached this stage ( Fig. 2D).
Since only the flower extract affected the development of Ae. aegypti, this alone was submitted to GC-MS. The chromatogram obtained for the hexanic extract of flowers of C. fluminensis showed that the major component (retention time: 18.424 min) was the benzophenone, clusianone. This substance was identified by comparison of the mass fragmentation pattern with the data provided by Delle Monache et al. (1991) and represented 54.85% of the hexane extract ( Fig. 3). In addition, lanosterol was also detected (retention time: 19.155 min) in the same extract and contributed to 9.74% of the sample composition ( Fig. 3 ).
The purification protocols and chemical structures of clusianone from the flowers of C. fluminensis have been described previously ( Silva et al. 2012 ). Subsequently, bioassays with this purified substance were performed against Ae. aegypti.
Bioassays with clusianone showed a significant reduced survival of the Ae. aegypti (p < 0.0001) ( Fig. 4A), so that by the first day of treatment 20% of larvae had already died compared with the SC group ( Fig. 4A). In the clusianone-treated group, by the last day (12th) of treatment, 93.3% of insects were dead, while more than 93% were still alive in the SC group ( Fig. 4A). The few specimens of Ae. aegyptithat survived the treatment with clusianone remained as larval instars ( Fig. 4B), with none molting to pupae or adults ( Fig. 4C, D).
In contrast with the effect of clusianone, no activity was detected by the isolated lanosterol on the survival or development of Ae. aegypti larvae in the bioassays (results not showed).
In this present study, clusianone was further identified and purified from FL , following the original protocols described by Silva et al. (2012) . Clusianone is the major component from the flowers of C. fluminensis, representing almost 55% of the crude extract composition.
Crude fruit extracts of C. fluminensis had no activity on the survival or development of Ae. aegypti and preliminary results showed that clusianone is not present in these extracts, in which lanosterol is the main compound. FL also had no effects on survival, but delayed the development of Ae. aegypti. In addition, the purified clusianone not only caused high larval mortality and delayed development, but also completely blocked the molting of surviving treated-insects. These results show four important facts. Firstly, the value of analysing not only mortality, but also the effect on development in the evaluation of plant extracts activities against insects. Secondly, that fractionated and purified components may show enhanced activities in bioassays in comparison with those of crude extracts. Thirdly, the necessity of assaying different regions of the plant tissue for activity, when testing plant extracts for insecticide properties. Fourthly, they report the first description of clusianone’s larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti larvae.
The clusianone effects, however, seem to have similar characteristics to those found with synthesised benzophenone tagged indole derivatives that resulted in mortality in Culex quinquefasciatus larvae ( Ranganatha et al. 2013 ), as well as those reported for extracts from species of Hypericum against culicids ( Cetin et al. 2011 ). A fraction of H. carinatumenriched with the benzophenones, cariphenone A and cariphenone B has also shown to have larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti, but at a lower concentration than that used in our experiments with clusianone ( da Silva et al. 2013a ). The genus Hypericum is often considered to be a member of the family Clusiaceae.
Benzophenyl and benzopyran compounds, although not benzophenones, have also recently been reported to have similar effects to clusianone against mosquitoes. For example, benzophenyl urea compounds may disrupt chitin, causing changes in development or even mortality in Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in low doses ( Fontoura et al. 2012 , Belinato et al. 2013 ). Additionally, benzopyrans, present mostly in a Hypericum polyanthemum lipophilic extract, showed larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti in high concentrations, while in sublethal levels exhibited growth-inhibiting activity to prevent pupae formation and adult emergence (da Silva et al. 2013b). This last effect was also detected with clusianone against Ae. aegypti in the present study, where the few survivors remained as larvae. This result is very important for the evaluation of the potential use of these compounds as insecticides, because Ae. aegypti treated with a successful commercial analogue of JH (methoprene) also remained as larvae or died as pupae, without emerging as adults ( Braga et al. 2005a , b ).
Finally, the tetranortriterpenoid, azadirachtin, purified from Azadirachta indica A. (Juss.) (Meliaceae) acts on the insect neurosecretory cells. Juvenile forms after contact with this product remain irreversibly in the larval stage ( Garcia et al. 1986 , Mulla & Su 1999 ), as similarly observed after Ae. aegypti treatment with clusianone isolated from C. fluminensis . Likewise, benzophenone-3 used in UV filters affects embryogenesis by delaying hatching and mimicking the action of ecdysone, thereby disrupting the insect endocrinological equilibrium ( Ozáez et al. 2014) . Therefore, evidence from previous studies and for clusianone indicates that many naturally-occurring plant insect control agents affect the pest endocrine homeostasis to kill, delay or interrupt the development of their target species.
In conclusion, the present research shows, for the first time, the insecticidal activity of the benzophenone, clusianone, against mosquitoes and represents a promising start for the development of natural plant products for the control of insect vectors of tropical diseases.
