Note:
- The GPU version works best with Cuda Toolkit 8.0 and cuDNN v5.
- Other versions like Cuda Toolkit 7.0, 7.5 and cuDNN v3, v4 are also supported.
- To utilize cuDNN v5, Cuda Toolkit 7.5 is prerequisite and vice versa.
As a simple example, consider the following:
BLAS Dependencies(optional)
CMake will search BLAS libraries from system. If not found, OpenBLAS will be downloaded, built and installed automatically. To utilize preinstalled BLAS， you can simply specify MKL, OpenBLAS or ATLAS via
MKL_ROOT
,OPENBLAS_ROOT
orATLAS_ROOT
.# specify MKL cmake .. -DMKL_ROOT=<mkl_path> # or specify OpenBLAS cmake .. -DOPENBLAS_ROOT=<openblas_path>
Doc Dependencies(optional)
To generate PaddlePaddle’s documentation, install dependencies and set
-DWITH_DOC=ON
as follows:pip install 'sphinx>=1.4.0' pip install sphinx_rtd_theme recommonmark # install doxygen on Ubuntu sudo apt-get install doxygen # install doxygen on Mac OS X brew install doxygen # active docs in cmake cmake .. -DWITH_DOC=ON`
Build on Ubuntu 14.04¶
Install Dependencies¶
Paddle Dependencies
# necessary sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y git curl gcc g++ gfortran make build-essential automake sudo apt-get install -y python python-pip python-numpy libpython-dev bison sudo pip install 'protobuf==3.1.0.post1' # install cmake 3.4 curl -sSL https://cmake.org/files/v3.4/cmake-3.4.1.tar.gz | tar -xz && \ cd cmake-3.4.1 && ./bootstrap && make -j4 && sudo make install && \ cd .. && rm -rf cmake-3.4.1
GPU Dependencies (optional)
To build GPU version, you will need the following installed:
1. a CUDA-capable GPU 2. A supported version of Linux with a gcc compiler and toolchain 3. NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit (available at http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) 4. NVIDIA cuDNN Library (availabel at https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn)
The CUDA development environment relies on tight integration with the host development environment, including the host compiler and C runtime libraries, and is therefore only supported on distribution versions that have been qualified for this CUDA Toolkit release.
After downloading cuDNN library, issue the following commands:
sudo tar -xzf cudnn-7.5-linux-x64-v5.1.tgz -C /usr/local sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*
Then you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH environment variables in ~/.bashrc.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
Build and Install¶
As usual, the best option is to create build folder under paddle project directory.
mkdir build && cd build
Finally, you can build and install PaddlePaddle:
# you can add build option here, such as:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path to install>
# please use sudo make install, if you want to install PaddlePaddle into the system
make -j `nproc` && make install
# set PaddlePaddle installation path in ~/.bashrc
export PATH=<path to install>/bin:$PATH
# install PaddlePaddle Python modules.
sudo pip install <path to install>/opt/paddle/share/wheels/*.whl

Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.

--------------
**bang path**: n.
[now historical] An old-style UUCP electronic-mail address specifying
hops to get from some assumed-reachable location to the addressee, so
called because each `*hop* <../H/hop.html>`__ is signified by a
`*bang* `__ sign. Thus, for example, the path
``...!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me`` directs people to route their mail to
machine ``bigsite`` (presumably a well-known location accessible to
everybody) and from there through the machine ``foovax`` to the account
of user ``me`` on ``barbox``.
In the bad old days of not so long ago, before autorouting mailers and
Internet became commonplace, people often published compound bang
addresses using the { } convention (see `*glob* <../G/glob.html>`__) to
give paths from *several* big machines, in the hopes that one's
correspondent might be able to get mail to one of them reliably
(example: ``...!{seismo, ut-sally, ihnp4``!rice!beta!gamma!me}). Bang
paths of 8 to 10 hops were not uncommon. Late-night dial-up UUCP links
would cause week-long transmission times. Bang paths were often selected
by both transmission time and reliability, as messages would not
infrequently get lost. See `*the network* <../T/the-network.html>`__ and
`*sitename* <../S/sitename.html>`__.

In this assignment, you will learn about evaluating instruction, teaching, and teachers. These topics raise issues that are both complex and controversial. This unit is intended to prepare you to engage with peers, colleagues, and administrators around these topics.
Some of you will have to adapt your role and context for this assignment. If you feel you cannot apply any of the concepts to your context, be sure to demonstrate sufficient understanding of the concepts to explain why they are not relevant
About the K-12 landscape in the US. Teacher accountability is evolving quickly in the US. Because the 7th edition of the text was published in 2013, it was likely written in 2012 or even 2011. Some aspects of the text are already out of date. Some information on the web is also getting quite outdated. This assignment is prepared to bring you up to speed with the current situation and prepare you to make sense of the many changes to come. This assignment is also intended to help teachers, administrators, and researchers learn to talk to each other about these potentially contentious topics. There will be tensions as state educational administrators simultaneously introduce new standards, tests, and accountability schemes. You need to be prepared!
Provide a short summary of your curricular aim and role for the benefit of your classmates and the instructor (so they don’t have to look back). You should also add any new insights about your curricular aim and context that have emerged as you have thought about it more in the previous assignment(s). What is it about your context that impacts the following questions: How do you or might you evaluate your own instruction? How will your instruction be evaluated? (Or, how will you evaluate the instruction of others?) Will one person’s instruction be compared to that of other teachers? You should be forming some informed opinions about this important topic by now.
Read/Review the first part of Chapter 15 on evaluating instruction. As summarized on page 378, Popham describes two types of evidence that typically are or might be used to evaluate instruction: Evidence from classroom assessments, and evidence from accountability tests.
Rearrange the two boxes below into the order that indicates which kind of evidence is most relevant to evaluating instruction in your context. You must move the boxes at least once for your choice to register. In the space below, draw on the text to describe what each of these types of evidence might look like for you and make it clear why the first type of evidence is most relevant and the last is the least relevant. You likely want to revise this after completing the rest of the assignment.
Instruction is often evaluated by comparing what students know before the instruction to what they know after the instruction is given. Many educators have never actually evaluated their own instruction in this way. Many who do are surprised at what they discover. Students often do surprisingly well on pretests; in many classrooms, some students will score higher on pretests than other students score on the post-test. More generally, the use of pretests often reveals that students are not learning nearly as much as teachers would otherwise think they were learning.
There are two primary ways of using evidence from classroom assessments to evaluate instruction. Drag the boxes into the order that indicates which design is most relevant and useful for you. In the text box below, describe how you might use each to evaluate your instruction and the advantages and disadvantages. Be sure to indicate why the first is more relevant and useful than the second.
One of the biggest challenges when evaluating instruction is having items that are sensitive to the curricular aim of the instruction. Even when items are aligned to the aim, they are often too easy or too hard for some (or even all) students. Popham does a nice job simplifying instructional insensitivity on pages 389-393, and then list six causes of instructionally insensitive items on 397-398.
Popham discusses instructional sensitivity in the context of external accountability tests, but instructional sensitivity is also a big challenge for classroom assessments. The challenge is somewhat different for the pre-posttest design using classroom assessments than it is for external accountability tests. Consider these sources of insensitivity in the context of whichever kind of evidence (classroom or accountability) you ranked as most relevant above.
Drag the boxes to indicate their order of relevance for your aim and context, and for evaluating instruction using evidence from classroom assessments or external accountability tests (whichever one you chose as most relevant above). In the text box below, add a brief justification for the cause that you felt was more relevant and the cause that you felt was least relevant, given your aim, context, and type of evidence.
“In the last few years we have seen an enormous increase in the clamor for test-based teacher evaluation--that is, teacher appraisals in which the dominant (but not the only) determiner of a teacher’s quality is the performance of a particular teacher’s students on an externally imposed standardized achievement test” (Popham, p. 384).
Popham has a lot of opinions about test-based teacher evaluation in Chapter 15 and in this Oregon Live column. Popham’s big point in the chapter is that teachers should be evaluated using instructionally sensitive tests in concert with teacher made assessments. The challenge is that making accountability tests sufficiently “objective” for making high-stakes evaluations of teachers (as the US and many countries are trying to do) makes them less sensitive to a particular teacher’s instruction.
On page 386-387 Popham describes student growth percentiles introduced in the US with the 2002 No Child Left Behind act. He also describes some of the problems with using student growth percentiles. On pages 396-397, Popham describes the new value-added models which proponents say address the shortcomings of student growth percentiles. Popham argues that value added models are “regarded by most non-partisans as inappropriate for evaluating the quality of educators’ endeavors” (p. 396). For now in the US and some other countries, the “partisans” of value-added modeling have prevailed. Value-added evaluation of teachers is central element of the US Race to the Top initiative. Most states in the US belong to one of two large coalitions, which are developing new tests and value-added accountability policies that will be phased in over the coming years.
If value-added policies impact your work, you need to be familiar with the techniques and policies. Read the sections in Popham carefully, and then review the following resources on teacher evaluation. You are also encouraged to search for other resources on the Internet to share with your classmates.
As you review them, drag the boxes so that the resources that are most relevant to your aim and role appear first. Then, in the text box below, summarize the resource you find to be most relevant and explain why it is relevant given your aim, context, and role. If you find other resources, paste the links below and explain why they are relevant. If the resource you find is more relevant that the ones provided, please say so and explain why.
Review the chapter, assignment, and your peers’ wikifolios. Also, read the Chapter Summary and What Teachers Need to Know. Come up with three big ideas. Number the ideas (1, 2, 3) and list them in order of importance to you, keeping in mind your role and context. Write a brief summary/explanation of each idea where you make it clear why they are relevant to you. These are the BIG ideas of the chapter not the more specific concepts listed above. You should refer to the What Teachers Need to Know…. section and the summary at the end of the chapter. Try to insert your experience and academic domain into this discussion.
Take the self-check at the end of the chapter. Answer all of the questions without looking up the answers. If you can't answer the items you should go back over that section. Say a few words about the ones you got wrong and why.
Ponder the Pondertime questions. Do so in light of your role and aspirations and identify the question that is most relevant to you. Write a response to the most relevant question that includes an explanation of why it is most relevant to you. In particular consider how your role and domain impacted the relevance of the questions for you.
Post three brief reflections. You should write a coherent reflection that demonstrates understanding of the concepts and how they related to your curricular aims and context. On your Wikifolio, be sure to label each of the three types of engagement as you present your reflection.
You are advised to begin drafting the reflections while you are working on the Wikifolio, and then to complete them before starting the next assignment. They should serve as a review and help you better connect the ideas of the chapter to your practice.
While you are commenting, you should endorse at least three of your classmates’ Wikifolios for being complete. If your classmate has completed the required Consider the Concepts elements of the assignment, click the box that says Required Elements Completed. If your classmate has completed all of the expertise elements (except for the reflection) click All Elements Completed.
Your own Wikifolios needs to be endorsed by at least one classmate to count towards course completion. If you completed your wikifolio and it was not endorsed by a classmate, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>As part of reviewing and discussing, promote one (and only one) of your classmates’ Wikifolios as being exemplary from your perspective. Your reference group is whatever set you choose to review. Ideally you should select promote the one wikifolio that is exemplary out of your networking group. Click the box that indicates you wish to mark it as exemplary and indicate what was exemplary about it that helped you understand the chapter concepts.
This does not have to mean it was that best or even most complete. But rather it was an exemplary consideration of the chapter concepts in a way that helped you better understand them. A “leader” badge will be issued for each of the the three sections for the member of each networking group whose Wikifolio gets the most promotions.
Post at least one question as a comment to your classmates and the instructor that this assignment raised for you, given your role and setting. Try to not ask “known answer” yes/no questions. Rather ask questions that can get some discussion started.
Review the wikifolios of your groupmates and find ones that look interesting to you. Engage in discussion with them by posting questions or responding to their questions. Be sure to put responses in the box for responses. If there are multiple responses make it clear which response you are responding to. The goal here is to generate discussion threads that consider how the chapter concepts and considerations take on different meanings for different students.

We are pushing our daily county-level predictions to this google sheet and hospital-level predictions to this google sheet.
The map below shows forecasts for the number of deaths at the county-level.
This covid pandemic severity index (CPSI) is designed to help aid the distribution of medical resources to hospitals.
It takes on three values (3: High, 2: Medium, 1: Low), indicating the severity of the covid-19 outbreak for a hospital on a certain day. It is calculated in three steps:
(1) county-level predictions for number of deaths are modeled
(2) county-level predictions are allocated to hospitals within counties proportional the their total number of employees
(3) final value is decided by thresholding the number of cumulative predicted deaths for a hospital (=current recorded deaths + predicted future deaths).
The plot below shows the evolution of the CPSI for different hospitals as a function of the total deaths recorded at that hospital so far, and the predicted deaths.
Bubble size indicates hospital size (total number of employees).

Kogi election: Dino Melaye dares APC to sue him over alleged vote-buying
- A former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, is accused by Mohammed Onogwu, an aide to the Kogi state governor, of buying votes
- Melaye, in turn, accuses the APC and Governor Yahaya Bello of being responsible for the election violence in Kogi state
- However, Onogwu dismisses the allegation linking Governor Bello, who was the APC governorship candidate in Kogi to the violence during elections in the state
A former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, has challenged the All Progressives Congress (ACP) to sue him over alleged vote-buying that reportedly occurred in the Kogi west senatorial election.
Melaye, who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Kogi west senatorial election issued the challenge when he was accused of vote-buying on Sunday, November 24, by Mohammed Onogwu, an aide to the Kogi state governor on Channels TV.
“We have clips evidence where he (Melaye) was distributing money (voters) on the line where they were voting,” Onogwu said.

But Melaye who interrupted in laughter asked the APC to sue him.
“What are you waiting for? Sue me,” he said.
Melaye, in turn, made a counter allegation that APC was responsible for the violence which he said claimed 16 lives.
The former lawmaker said the PDP has evidence to prove that Governor Yahaya Bello and the APC were behind election violence in Kogi state
However, Onogwu dismissed allegation linking Governor Bello, who was the APC governorship candidate, to the violence in Lokoja during the elections.
The governor’s aide said Bello was at Agasa in Okene local government area with his convoy where he cast his vote and ensured that the exercise was peaceful.
PAY ATTENTION: Read the best news on Nigeria's #1 news app
“The governor was not in Lokoja on the day of the election and he does not have a dual existence. He cannot be in Okene and at the same time be in Lokoja.

“These are fallacious statements that they are making to discredit the entire electoral processes, to discredit the entire institutions that were involved in the conduct of the election,” the governor’s aide stated.
Meanwhile, the Kogi state government has accused the PDP of trying to rubbish the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 16 governorship election in the state.
Kingsly Fanwo, the director-general media and publicity to Kogi state governor who made the allegation in a press statement on Sunday, November 24, said the attempt by the PDP to rubbish their victory will definitely fail.
The aide alleged that the PDP, through its propaganda wing, was attempting rubbish the well-deserved, hard-earned victory of the APC in the Kogi election.

Our take on making the young generation of our country aware about the global goals towards the betterment of the planet Earth
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), officially known as "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", is a set of 17 "Global Goals" with 169 targets among them. Spearheaded by the United Nations through a deliberative process involving its 193 Member States, as well as global civil society, the goals are contained in paragraph 54 United Nations Resolution A/RES/70/1 of 25 September 2015.[1] The Resolution is a broader intergovernmental agreement that acts as the Post 2015 Development Agenda (successor to the Millennium Development Goals). The SDGs build on the Principles agreed upon under Resolution A/RES/66/288, popularly known as "The Future We Want".[2] It is a non-binding document released as a result of Rio+20 Conference held in 2012 in Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil
On 25 September 2015, the 194 countries of the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Development Agenda titled "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". Following the adoption, UN agencies under the umbrella of the United Nations Development Group, decided to support an independent campaign to help communicate the agreed Sustainable Development Goals to a wider constituency. Known as Project Everyone,[9] the independent campaign introduced the term Global Goals and was supported by corporate institutions and other International Organizations. Because this decision was made without the approval of the member states, it met resistance.[10] In addition, several sections of civil society and governments felt[11] the UNDG ignored "sustainability," even though it was the most important aspect of the agreement. That the term "Global Goals" also refers to several other processes not related to the United Nations was another concern. The Official Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted on 25 September 2015 has 92 paragraphs. Paragraph 51 outlines the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the associated 169 targets.
There is no poverty – End Poverty in All its Forms – Everywhere[13] Extreme poverty has been cut by more than half since 1990 – however, more than 1 in 5 people live on less than $1.25 a day Poverty is more than lack of income or resources – it includes lack of basic services, such as education, hunger, social discrimination and exclusion, and lack of participation in decision making. Gender inequality plays a large role in the perpetuation of poverty and its risks; They then face potentially life-threatening risks from early pregnancy, and often lost hopes for an education and a better income. Age groups are affected differently when struck with poverty; its most devastating effects are on children, to whom it poses a great threat. It affects their education, health, nutrition, and security. It also negatively affects the emotional and spiritual development of children through the environment it creates.
Zero Hunger – End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture[14] Globally, 1 in 9 people are undernourished, the vast majority of these people live in developing countries Agriculture is the single largest employer in the world, providing livelihoods for 40 per cent of today’s global population. It is the largest source of income and jobs for poor rural households. Women comprise on average 43 per cent of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, and over 50 per cent in parts of Asia and Africa, yet they only own 20% of the land. Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children each year.
Good Health and Well-being – Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages[15] Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality, and major progress has been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS. However, only half of women in developing countries have received the health care they need, and the need for family planning is increasing exponentially, while the need met is growing slowly – more than 225 million women have an unmet need for contraception. An important target is to substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from pollution-related diseases.
Quality Education – Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all[17] Major progress has been made for education access, specifically at the primary school level, for both boys and girls. However, access does not always mean quality of education, or completion of primary school. Currently, 103 million youth worldwide still lack basic literacy skills, and more than 60 per cent of them are women Target 1 "By 2030, ensure that all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and Goal-4 effective learning outcomes" – shows the commitment to nondiscriminatory education outcomes
Gender Equality – Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls[18] Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large While a record 143 countries guaranteed equality between men and women in their Constitutions by 2014, another 52 had not taken this step. In many nations, gender discrimination is still woven through legal and social norms Though goal 5 is the gender equality stand-alone goal, the SDG's can only be successful if women are completely integrated into each and every goal
Clean Water and Sanitation – Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all[22] The first three out of eight targets include:[22] "By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all." "By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations." "By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally."
Affordable and Clean Energy – Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all[26] Goal 7 targets : By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
Decent Work and Economic Growth – Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all[27] World Pensions Council (WPC) development economists have argued that the twin considerations of long-term economic growth and infrastructure investment weren’t prioritized enough: "More worryingly, ‘Work and Economic Growth’ and ‘Technological Innovation and Infrastructure Investment’ joined the [SDGs] priority list at number 8 and number 9 respectively, a rather mediocre ranking which deﬁes economic common sense"[28]
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Reduced Inequalities – Reduce income inequality within and among countries
Sustainable Cities and Communities – Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Responsible Consumption and Production – Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Climate Action – Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by regulating emissions and promoting developments in renewable energy Nations and other parties negotiating at the UN have highlighted the links between the post-2015 SDG process, the Financing for Development process to be concluded in Addis Ababa in July 2015, and the COP 21 Climate Change conference in Paris in December 2015.
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development Sustainable Development Goal number 14; Life Beyond Water is to conserve and sustainably use the worlds oceans, seas and marine resources.[37] The oceans cover 71% of the earth surface. The worlds ocean is essential for all life on earth making earth livable such as rainwater, drinking water and climate are all regulated by the oceans. The ocean temperature, life and currents are all affected by humankind as over 3 billion people depend on marine life as their livelihood and oceans absorb 30% of all carbon dioxide produced by humans
Life on Land – Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions – Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
Partnerships for the Goals – Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development


In Assemble, context is the current JSON data object that templates can use.
If you are unfamiliar with how Handlebar templates work, please visit the Handlebar documentation for more information. Also see Assemble's documentation for templates and Data.
In Handlebars, every template has a context. Blocks such as {{#if}}
create "inline" templates, and the {{#if}}
helper then determines the context in which to render the template.
Some helpers, like {{#if}}
, will preserve the current context, while others such as {{#each}}
and {{#with}}
, will change the context in different ways. Helpers can even change the context to something completely different if they want:
options.fn({
published: true
})
Handlebars also supports nested contexts, making it possible to look up properties nested below the current context. Nested handlebars paths can also include ../
segments, which evaluate their paths against a parent context.
The ../
path means "look this up on the context of the parent template". In some cases, that will amount to the parent in the current object (with). In other cases, it will not. In cases like if, which preserve the context, ../
will
happen to point to the same object, but this is just a coincidence. In all cases, ../
is lexically bound to the parent template.
The information in this section was mostly taken from this conversation, and edited to make sense for Assemble.
The context object is just a JSON data object that when passed to the compiled template function becomes the value of this inside your template. You must use the name of the associated data file to access properties and call helper methods on the context object.
Given we have a data file alert.json
that contains the following properties:
{
"title ": "Heads up!"
}
In our template alert.hbs
, we will now look up the properites of alert.json
by using the name of the file, alert
, as the current context. So to retrieve the title
property, we would do this:

 {{alert.title }}

Which renders to:

Heads up!

In Assemble, the root of the context is where the data object starts. Everything under the root is a child property. Also, when a variable is at "the root of the context" the variable may be used as-is, or "raw", enabling
you to look up properties for the "current" object without nesting the context within the current object. In other words, the "path" of the current object does not need to be appended to the variable, so
instead of about_us.title
, you may simply use title
.
In layout.hbs
we will use {{title}}
to lookup the title
property on each page that is passed into the layout.
<!doctype html>

<meta charset ="UTF-8" >
<title > {{title }} </title >

{{> body }}

Since the {{title}}
variable is inside a
layout, we do not need to nest the title
within the context of the data
object. In other words, by default, layouts
When data is added directly to a file named data.json
(or data.yml
) it will be loaded directly into the root of the context by Assemble. Note that your templates will need to be namespaced differently than if
you put data into a file called myData.json
.
For example, given we have a file named data.json
with:
{
"title ": "My Title"
}
Inside myTemplate.hbs
, we would use:
{{title }}
However, using the same example but with a file named myData.json
, the data must now be accessed using the name of the file.
So, given we have myData.json
with:
{
"title ": "My Title"
}
Out template, myTemplate.hbs
, would have:
{{myData.title }}
You can use the this
expression in any context to refer to the current context.
For example (from
http://handlebarsjs.com/ ), inside the {{#each}}
block, you can use this
to reference the element being iterated over.

{{#each people }}

 {{this }}

{{/each }}

when used with this context, people.json
:
[
"Jon Schlinkert",
"Brian Woodward"
]
will result in:

Jon Schlinkert

Brian Woodward

Vending machines can dispense chips, chocolates, sodas, water, coffee, and many more. We even had charging kiosk at malls and convenient stores plus piso-internet machines for cheap PC rental. This time around, why don’t we aim higher.
I’m talking about this Wi-Fi vending machine we saw online.
This Wi-Fi enabled machine can give you instant Wi-Fi hotspot for as low as Php 1. It uses an IEE802.11 b/g/n compatible router at 2.4Ghz band.
The process is simple.
You connect to NegrosPisoWifi. Tap insert a coin to the machine and it will give you 30 seconds drop coins then start internet!
Wi-Fi rates are as follows:
Php 1 = 5 minutes
Php 5 = 25 minutes
Php 10 = 50 minutes
When you have existing internet that is costing you monthly with no returns, why not earn from it? This machine only costs around 18k-20kphp depending on the design.
Giving you some breakdown of possible returns:
20 customers x 1php / hour = 20php x 8 hrs = 160php x 30 days = 4800php 20 customers x 5php / hour = 100php x 8 hrs = 800php x 30 days = 21000php 20 customers x 10php / hour = 200php x 8 hrs = 1600php x 30 days = 48000php
I hope my math is correct. :)
The machine is very easy to install and manage. It's paperless and you can view the sales history remotely anywhere in the world.
Negros Piso Wifi is the official distributor of AdoPisoft and the said machine is distributed by us.
About the author: Dale Torre is co-founder of NegrosPisoWifi and a developer. He loves building tools that make life easier for developers. You can follow him at @daletorre and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>where he will definitely reply to you.

While Madrid put Eibar to the sword in a 4-0 victory on Saturday, Hazard produced a nifty "rabona" that was much appreciated by fans after the game.
Check it out:
Meanwhile, young Englishman Rahsford was in inspired form and a thorn in the side of the Brighton Hove & Albion defence as the Red Devils powered their way to a 3-1 win at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Rashford also produced a bit of skill Ronaldinho would be proud of, as his "elastico" effort bamboozled midfielder Davy Propper.
Rashford’s skill against the Seagulls:
Who would you say produced the best bit of magic, Hazard or Rashford?

MY GIANT A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * out of * * * *
Billy Crystal reappears in yet another high concept comedy. He tries to infuse some life into it, but it gets bogged down with sentimentality and a lack of sophistication.
Sammy (Billy Crystal) is a struggling agent at the end of his ropes. He's separated from his wife, Serena (Kathleen Quinlan), and down to his last serious client...in a low-budget film shooting in Romania. But in a turn of bad luck, Sammy wrecks his car...only to be mysteriously saved by a giant (Gheorghe Muresan).
But this giant has a heart of gold. He leads a solitary life, helping out the monks at a local monastery. His only longing is for his long lost love, Lilianna (Joanna Pacula), who has since moved to America. Sammy, seeing a golden ticket, convinces Max to become an actor (represented by Sammy, of course), and come back to America.
 But slowly Sammy's deceptions begin to haunt him. But will he develop a conscience before the innocent Max becomes disillusioned.
The humor in My Giant isn't the world's greatest. Mostly, it falls under the category of "boy...he's so big!", and that can only go so far, no matter how hard the talent tries. Still, its slightly amusing parts are longed for when the movie gets bogged down in sappy moments.
The film's best moment (and that's not saying much) is a bit part by Steven Seagal, playing himself. Between Executive Decision and this, all of Seagal's best roles have been cameos. Maybe he should consider a change of work: Steven Seagal, the character actor!
Gheorghe Muresan isn't a natural actor at all, and his thick cotton-mouthed accent certainly doesn't help. In fact the only thing he adds to the role is his immense stature. Originally, the concept was designed several years ago for Andre the Giant. Andre also had a hefty accent, but he displayed a knack for comedy in The Princess Bride...something Muresan should have studied for some pointers.
Why does Billy Crystal continually get caught in these pathetic comedies? He's proven that he can be much funnier than these formulaic films allow him to be, and yet, like a glutton for punishment, he keeps coming back. That doesn't mean we have to.

Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| System.String | databasePath | Path to the database. |
| ProviderType | provider | Provider type, which will be usedProvider string is used for the current, installed provider, so there is no need to care about provider version. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| System.String | Returns connection string to specified database. For example
|
CreateEmptyDatabase(String, ProviderType)
Creates an empty Microsoft Access database at location path

Remarks
If the file path
already exists, it will be overwritten.
Based on the value of provider
is created specified database type (.accdb
, or older
.mdb
). But nothing is done with the file extension, so the file name will be created as
path
. So it is possible to create a file with .mdb
extension, which actually will be
database type .accdb
. So the caller must provide correct file name.

--- layout: post title: "Balancing Productivity and Creativity In Remote Work" permalink: /:title/ tags: [productivity, "remote work"] categories: [productivity, "remote work"] ---
We live in interesting times. Significant portions of the tech and business industry are currently working remotely, including Google Twitter and Facebook.
There's an ever growing body of research which shows the current trend in office design, the open office, is a productivity killer, and perhaps counter-intuitively, also harms collaboration, see:
I hunted down one of the mentioned studies:
Organizations’ pursuit of increased workplace collaboration has led managers to transform traditional office spaces into ‘open’, transparency-enhancing architectures with fewer walls, doors and other spatial boundaries, yet there is scant direct empirical research on how human interaction patterns change as a result of these architectural changes. In two intervention-based field studies of corporate headquarters transitioning to more open office spaces, we empirically examined—using digital data from advanced wearable devices and from electronic communication servers—the effect of open office architectures on employees' face-to-face, email and instant messaging (IM) interaction patterns. Contrary to common belief, the volume of face-to-face interaction decreased significantly (approx. 70%) in both cases, with an associated increase in electronic interaction. In short, rather than prompting increasingly vibrant face-to-face collaboration, open architecture appeared to trigger a natural human response to socially withdraw from officemates and interact instead over email and IM. This is the first study to empirically measure both face-to-face and electronic interaction before and after the adoption of open office architecture. The results inform our understanding of the impact on human behaviour of workspaces that trend towards fewer spatial boundaries.
Keep in mind some of theses results may be affected by cultural factors, but they're still significant.
The current ongoing experiment in remote work is proving itself rather nicely, but there's one concern I keep hearing repeated: people miss the stochastic element of random conversations, half-heard fragments and other random cross-pollinating factors, which they feel negatively impact creativity and new ideas.
Since the water cooler is gone, and the only corridors left are in our homes, perhaps it would be a good idea to facilitate a sort of virtual water cooler, where employees could have the unstructured conversations necessary for this process to occur. It isn't a perfect replacement for face-to-face interactions, but perfect may be the enemy of good in this case.
A possible medium to facilitate this is persistent voice chat rooms with visible members, into which every member of the organization could just pop in and join an organic conversation.
Both Discord and Riot, if you prefer open source projects, support this capability.
I'd be interested to see people experiment with these options and how it affects an organization's productivity and creativity.

I’m A Celebrity… aftercare is inadequate, says former jungle star Iain Lee
Former I’m A Celebrity… star Iain Lee says the aftercare for celebrities who have been on the TV show is “inadequate”.
The DJ appeared on the 2017 series of the show, which begins again on Sunday night, and has spoken about his depression.
His comments come after shows like Love Island beefed up the mental health care they offer contestants.

The broadcaster, 46, said not getting enough sleep, along with I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here’s gruelling challenges and lack of food, was “torture”.
Lee, who has spoken of his own depression, wants the Government to recognise sleep as a fundamental human right.
He said of the jungle: “Sleep there was a nightmare. I’m a 6ft 4in man and for the most of it they put me in a hammock….
“You’d get to bed late at night if you were doing a midnight challenge… and then they’d wake you up ridiculously early to do the live show with Ant and Dec. You’d always have to look busy.”
He said a lack of sleep made the celebrities “ratty, miserable and upset”.
Lee, who is working with Eve Sleep on a campaign to highlight social and environmental factors which impact on sleep, said: “I get that that’s part of the show… but not having sleep is dangerous. It’s a form of torture…
“I’m not complaining about the jungle. I had a great time. It turned my career around, I loved it but let (this year’s contestants) Kate Garraway and Ian Wright have a decent night’s sleep.”
The DJ said of the show’s aftercare: “There certainly could have been more help.”
“I think they paid for a couple of sessions to see my psychiatrist which I would have seen anyway and I had a phone call asking if I’d like to come in and I said I didn’t want to go in and that was that…
“Meanwhile I’m going off the rails and going nuts. Not as a direct result of the jungle but immediately after the jungle I went a little bit nuts.”
Lee fell out with Rebekah Vardy during his time on the ITV show and she was accused of bullying him, something which Lee denied.
Vardy has since made headlines around the world after Coleen Rooney claimed her Instagram account was the source of leaked stories about her private life.
Lee said of their feud: “I know I didn’t like her (Vardy) and I didn’t get on with her (in the jungle) but I also don’t like Twitter pile-ons….
“Seeing a whole country pile on to a pregnant woman in that way that people do, made me very, very uncomfortable.
“Whatever I thought about her.
A spokeswoman for I’m A Celebrity… said: “The safety and wellbeing of all of our campmates is our number one priority.
“All campmates have 24-hour access to both medical and psychological support during their stay in camp.”
Iain Lee is working with wellness brand Eve Sleep, as part of its Right To Sleep campaign, to lobby the Government to recognise sleep as a fundamental human right.
