As stated recently, I have brought a Terra Nova Laser Competition tent forming the shelter for Project Wildcamp. After listing to a recent backpackinglight.co.uk podcast about rucksacks, I decided to review how to pack my rucksack. I had tried last week to get my stuff into a Deuter 32 Futera unsuccessfully. The podcast suggesting separating the various parts of the tent / shelter across different parts of the ‘sack.
Whilst reviewing the bits of the tent, I noticed one of the ends to a peg had fallen off - remember I haven’t had one (tent) erection yet! Em. not good. Whilst looking on the net, I found the pragmatic solution would be to superglue the ends onto the carbon fibre peg poles. However, should I really be resorting to superglue on my new 240 quid (RRP) toy? I think not.
I know Terra Nova produce some Titanium pegs for a the same RRP as the carbon fibre pegs I have. Therefore I think a straight swap or replacement guaranteed carbon pegs would be in order.
I am eagerly awaiting Terra Nova’s customer services reply.


Marshall's Kilburn 2 Speaker Is Perfect for the Road
With a battery life of over 20 hours.
by Jeff YeungLittle will question Marshall‘s pedigree in creating high-performing audio equipment, and now the brand has taken its expertise from the past six decades to create a truly portable Bluetooth speaker for the road.
Dubbed the Kilburn 2, Marshall’s latest creation provides room-filling sound via two tweeters constructed from 8 Watt Class D amps along with a booming woofer using a 20 Watt Class D amp. As with the rest of its speakers and amplifiers, atop the box are volume, bass, and treble adjustment knobs so you can tune your music according to your preferences. Connection-wise, the Kilburn 2 is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and aptX, allowing for high fidelity sound quality. It holds a battery life of more than 20 hours, and can even hold a play time of three hours from just a 20-minute charge. As a bonus for those out and about, the portable speaker is also IPX2 water resistant, and comes with a handy carry strap.
Available in both black or white, the Marshall Kilburn 2 portable Bluetooth speaker is now available over at the company’s website for $300 USD. Head over to grab yours now.
For more things tech-related, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro has apparently reverted back to the scissor-switch keyboard of the older models.

Our work shows that shock-compressed silica transforms into a poor glass former that subsequently exhibits ultrafast crystallization within a few nanoseconds. Absent impurities, this crystallization obeys a homogeneous reconstructive nucleation and grain growth model. This work provides insight into laser-induced damage and meteoroid impact events.
Fused silica is a long-lifetime metastable state of SiO2. Under ambient conditions, the complete crystallization from silica glass to quartz never happens in a human timescale. This makes fused silica a typical prototype of good glass formers. Given the right pressure and temperature, however, the crystallization to stishovite can instead happen in a billionth of a second. For more than half a century, observations of metastable stishovite have been made in laser damaged fused silica surface and meteorite impact craters without knowing the underlining dynamics.
Using million-atom molecular dynamics simulations (the Multi-Scale Shock Technique), we provide an atomistic insight into the kinetics of this high-pressure silica crystallization: how the transition initiates, how it proceeds, the timescale, and the temperature dependence.
The following video shows that the crystallization is a homogeneous nucleation and growth process for pure silica. Nucleation starts with the thermal fluctuation of nuclei. Some of these nuclei grow steadily into a larger size as atoms deposit at the boundaries (0.2 ns). The system then enters a rapid growth stage while the grains are well separated from each other (0.4 ns). Finally, grains merge into each other with disordered regions at the grain boundaries.
Views of shocked fused silica of 486,000 atoms at three different stages: nucleation (0.2 ns), explosive grain growth (0.4 ns) and coalescence (1.5 ns).
Our work has broad implications in a wide range of disciplines from the large scale of geophysics to the small scale of nanotechnology. Specifically, this ultrafast crystallization is of great interest in the study of glass-forming ability. The following figure compares crystallization speeds for different glass formers from ambient-condition silica to Ge2Sb2Te5 phase change memories. It shows that shock compression can induce the fragile behavior that makes technologically useful phase change memory materials.
Comparison of the explosive grain growth rate with other systems including both good
and bad glass formers.

calibration_age_inc.Rmd
This report aims to:
The data used here come from an analysis by Griffin et al. (2014) looking at the changing age-burden of P. falciparum malaria disease in sub-Saharan Africa - see here for further information on this dataset. The data give both prevalence and incidence data over 23 distinct sites. We will focus on incidence data, and will begin by plotting confidence intervals on the raw data:
# get CIs on raw incidence data
df_data <- prev_inc_griffin2014 %>%
dplyr::filter(type == "incidence") %>%
mutate(inc = numer / denom,
lower = CI_inc(numer, denom)$lower,
upper = CI_inc(numer, denom)$upper,
age_mid = (age0 + age1) / 2) %>%
dplyr::filter(age_mid < 20)
# plot data
df_data %>%
mutate(plot_title = factor(plot_title, levels = unique(plot_title))) %>% # set order
ggplot() + theme_bw() +
expand_limits(x = 0, y = 0) +
geom_errorbar(aes(x = age_mid, ymin = lower, ymax = upper, color = case_detection)) +
geom_point(aes(x = age_mid, y = inc, color = case_detection)) +
xlim(c(0, 20)) + xlab("Age, years") + ylab("Incidence per year") +
facet_wrap(~plot_title, ncol = 4, scales = "free_y")
These panels are in order of increasing transmission intensity, as measured in the original publication. We can see that most cases are concentrated in children, and we can see hints that cases are concentrated in younger children as transmission intensity increases, however, there is also significant variation around this pattern.
When comparing against model output, we will restrict our attention to active case detection only. The model output shown below was obtained by manually choosing a distinct mosquito density (and implied EIR) for each site that best matched the data. The resulting EIRs are given in the title for each site.
# load precomputed model output
# code to produce this output: R_ignore/calibration/calibration_age_inc1.R
model_output <- readRDS("../inst/extdata/calibration_age_inc1.rds")
# subset data to ACD only, use title containing EIR and plot against model output
df_data %>%
dplyr::filter(case_detection != "PCD") %>%
left_join(model_output$df_order) %>%
ggplot() + theme_bw() +
expand_limits(x = 0, y = 0) +
geom_errorbar(aes(x = age_mid, ymin = lower, ymax = upper, color = case_detection)) +
geom_point(aes(x = age_mid, y = inc, color = case_detection)) +
xlim(c(0, 20)) + xlab("Age, years") + ylab("Incidence per year") +
facet_wrap(~plot_title_EIR, ncol = 4, scales = "free_y") +
geom_line(aes(x = age_min, y = inc), linewidth = 0.5, data = model_output$df_sim)
## Joining, by = "plot_title"
## Warning: Removed 29 rows containing missing values (`geom_line()`).
We can see that the model captures some of the rough trends in the data - that cases are concentrated in children and this becomes more intense at high transmission - but otherwise the model fails to match the data well in all sites. There are some sites where incidence appears to increase over the first years of life, which is not captured by the model and may imply that we need an additional age-dependent form of immunity in the model (e.g. maternally derived immunity). There are also some moderate-high transmission sites where the model is not able to capture the observed wide spread over ages (e.g. Senegal, Ndiop). This may be due to additional site-specific effects that are currently not being captured. For example, in the original publication these sites were fitted using a random-effects framework, which gives more flexibility to account for observation effects.


The problem
As a web developers and Rich Internet Applications lovers, every time we want to build a -dynamic, fancy and responsive client side- we encounter a lot of obstacles that makes things hard and a little confused, for example we can found situations like the next ones:
The MVC Model is ready for consume on server side, but we need to replicate it to JavaScript if we are going to use it on AJAX.
ResultSets are fully usables on server side, but we can't scroll or manage it on client side.
If we want to re-render parts of the web page, we need to invoke server side to re-build a then render again on client. And so many things that we need defeat to accomplish our goals.
The main concern is that practically we need to take a lot of our server side stuff, then port and replicate it to JavaScript on the client side. That’s a very huge way and a waste of time and resources that can be used to improve other aspects of a web project.
What Slot does?
Seamless the main goal in Slot is:
Generate a MVC layer for your project that reuse the same code on client and server side, taking your web design as a pattern.
But to make it happens, it's absolutely necessary stay clear with the basic concepts to use Slot Framework.

Karrigell is a flexible and powerful Python web framework. It is independant
from any web server, database engine or ORM, and lets the developer choose
among a variety of coding styles
The distribution includes a built-in web server. Karrigell can also work with
external web servers (Apache, Xitami, LightTPD) and all the databases for which
a Python API exists (SQLite, mySql, PostGreSQL, ZODB, etc). For demos and rapid
development, a pure-Python database engine is provided, PyDbLite
InstantSite, a database management
program, is included in the package. It has the same goals as PHPMyAdmin : you
can create and manage table structures on line, and generate a management program
(CRUD) for the table. Take a look at the
Flash demo.
The management script can then be edited to adapt to specific applications
Two versions are currently available : for MySQL
and for SQLite (access is
protected by login and password : set them with the command line script k_password.py
in folder admin)
To see other examples, take a tour of
some demos, which will show you how to use authentication, sessions, how to
handle HTTP forms, include scripts inside other scripts, etc
More elaborate demos include
- a calendar
- a blog engine
- a forum
- a simple Wiki server
- Kwiki, a wiki server using the
FCKEditor wysiwyg text editor
- a simple record collection program, using a single
"Karrigell service" (ks) script
- a portal, in which components are included using the
Include() function. It makes an
extensive use of session handling to display a different interface according
to the registered users preferences, and allows editing of news by these
users. It uses the database for user profile management and news edition
- an e-business demo : buy breton songs on-line !
- this script is bugged, just to show how
exceptions are shown and how the debugger works
For a more detailed information browse the
documentation or see the online
tutorial
For feedback, bug report, etc please send an e-mail to the
Karrigell mailing list

A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1dlO force damage.
The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.


TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.
TEDxBhilwara shares the same passion as TED. We aim to allow people to come together, make connections and share knowledge. We have initiated this because we believe, everybody has got his/her story to tell and the beautiful part is, each one is different from the other.

title: Jeff Loflin was talking about Sidemount Diving at The Dive Shop today
url: /2012/07/08/jeff-loflin-was-talking-about-sidemount-diving-at-the-dive-shop-today/
---
I went to a presentation at The Dive Shop by visiting instructor Jeff Loflin on Cave diving and the path to Full Cave (and beyond) last night.
It was interesting enough to me, so I bought his new sidemount training video and watched it last night waiting for a chance to try out a sidemount rig today.
Today Jeff gave another 1.5 hour presentation on the changes he's seen to sidemount over the last 6 years, he traced its evolution from Europe a few decades ago, to where it is today - the new big thing™.
After the talk, a bunch of us got a chance to try out the Hollis sidemount gear - I tried out the Hollis SMS 100 - the "technical" level sidemount rig.
What I liked and thought was interesting:
- 2 completely independent life-support systems.
- 12 lbs - which means I don't need any additional weight in warm water diving.
- Full visibility of all life-support failure points.
 No reaching way down to unclip, plus move bottles, and bring up as high as possible.
- Streamlining would help in restrictions and tighter wreck situations.
- Valve drills for first two tanks would be very easy - ludicrously easy.
- If you're travelling you don't need to bring your tanks and manifolds if you want to do more advanced diving - just use whatever tanks are available - would potentially be very handy.
- Easy on/off of tanks in the water - no need to move around massive tanks in pairs.
- A very versatile BC with tons of options and ways to set it up. One tank. Two tanks. Sidemount. Back mount.
What I didn't totally like (mostly about sidemount, less about the Hollis rig itself):
- 2 completely independent life-support systems - I'm still partial to having my primary back gas manifolded at this time.
- Having to swap regulators every 500 psi - just another thing to do.
- Not being able to instinctively donate the reg that's in my mouth to an out-of-air diver - if I'm breathing from the left tank, then I need to donate the long hose on my right. Another thing to think about in a possible emergency.
- There's a lot of pieces that come in front of my chest - I'm used to this from the tech diving gear, but it seemed much more tangled up.
- Seems way less stable than my twinset - way more little pieces and flexing.
Some of my concerns are likely because they're new and different to what I'm used to - not sure if they're all legit at this point without dropping another $1k and trying it out for a while. (Not this year.)
Am I gonna switch over? Not likely at this point - unless I:
- Sold my rEvo and wanted to do more Open Circuit. (Ummmmm - nope.)
- Was doing really tight caves and restriction penetrations. (Yeah - that's still terrifying for me.)
But it was interesting to see - and food for thought at least.

This is an overview of the ECG data file format of ECG session files exported from Bodykom. The file format is compatible with SR Medizinelektronik Cardio Explorer ECG analysis software
The data from an ECG session is exported as a zip file.
The zip file contains three mandatory files and one optional file that as a
whole represent the data from a single ECG session. The files are contained in
a subdirectory in the zip file. The name of the directory and files are based on
the id of the sensor and the date time of the start of the session. The content
of the files are identified by their respective file suffix, t0
,
0
, 1
, and 2
.
.t0
- Event Marker list, optional. Contains
block sequence number of all user initatied event markers. When no user
events have been created during a ECG recording session this file is
omitted..0
- Header data, 512 bytes block.1
- the ECG data representing Channel 1, prefixed by a 512 byte header data block..2
- the ECG data representing Channel 2, prefixed by a 512 byte header data block.The header data block in the .0 file is repeated at the start of both the ECG data files 1 and 2.
The files .0
, .1
, and .2
are
required in order to display and analyse the ECG data with the Cardio Explorer
software. The .t0
file is optional.
The header file contains a fixed size 512 byte block with fields defined per the following table.
Note! Bodykom applies default values for most of the fields with the notable exception of the registration date fields.
| Position | Type | Parameter | Example | Length |
| 0-5 | char | File tag | "CS0" | 4 |
| 6-10 | char | File version | "0" | 4 |
| 11-51 | char | Patient surname | Stargazer | 40 |
| 52-92 | char | Patient first name | Michelle | 40 |
| 93-94 | char | Sex | "0" = unknown "1" = women "2" = men |
1 |
| 95-99 | char | Date of Birth (year) | "1954" | 4 |
| 100-102 | char | month | "1" - "12" | 2 |
| 103-105 | char | day | "1" - "31" | 2 |
| 106-120 | char | Patient ID number | "00243a" | 14 |
| 121-125 | char | Registration date of file (year) | "2001" | 4 |
| 126-128 | char | month | "1" - "12" | 2 |
| 129-131 | char | day | "1" - "31" | 2 |
| 132-134 | char | hour | "0" - "23" | 2 |
| 135-137 | char | minute | "0" - "59" | 2 |
| 138-140 | char | second | "0" - "59" | 2 |
| 141-144 | char | height (cm) | "183" | 3 |
| 145-148 | char | weight (kg) | "84" | 3 |
| 149-150 | char | Pacemaker | "0" = unknown "1" = demand "2" = atrial |
1 |
| 151-152 | char | Analysis state | "0" = not analysed "1" = results exists "2" = results were edited |
1 |
| 153-154 | char | ECG data transmitted (to PC) | "0" = No "1" = Yes |
1 |
| 155-164 | char | Number of samples in 1. channel | "432345677" | 9 |
| 165-170 | char | Frequency of sampling | "150" | 5 |
| 171-172 | char | Filter | "0" = unused "1" = 100 Hz HF "2" = 50 Hz HF "4" = 50 Hz Reg. 8 = isol |
1 |
| 173-175 | char | Number of channels | "4" | 2 |
| 176-178 | char | A/D Converter (bits) | "12" | 2 |
| 179-180 | char | Record type | "0" = Holter "1" = "Rest "2" = Exercise |
1 |
| 181-511 | char | Reserved, zero-filled. | 0x00 | 330 |
Gaps between code groups, one byte, are filled with 0x00.
All char fields are ANSI strings, padded by zero (0x00). Each field contains at least one 0x00 byte.
Fields, representing numeric values (height, weight, ...), are left justified.
Currently the ECG file format version "001" is the only supported ECG data format supported by Bodykom.
The following default values are used by the Bodykom solution.
| Field | Value |
| File Tag | "CSZB" |
| File Version | "001" |
| Sex | "0" |
| Pacemaker | "0" |
| Analysis State | "0" |
| Rec Status (ECG data transmitted) | "1" |
| Frequency | "150" |
| Filter | "0" |
| Number of Channels | "2" |
| A/D Converter (bits) | "16" |
| Record Type | "0" |
The birthdate details are left blank, as are the height and weight details. The Patient Id is set to the communicator ID of the Bodykom Client Device and so is the Patient surname field. The Patient firstname field is currently left blank by the Bodykom app.
The Registration date and time is set as the start timestamp of the ECG recording session.
The first 512 bytes of data in both channel date files contains a copy of
the header file .0
. The ECG data within the data channel files,
1
and 2
is defined as little endian 16-bit values.
The zero-point is set at 16000, and each 1mV gain corresponds to 3200.
The Transformation algorithm works on a channel by channel basis, and processes each segment of ECG data in following steps.
private static short readShortLittleEndian(byte b1, byte b2) {
int low = b1 & 0xff;
int high = b2 & 0xff;
return(short)( high << 8 | low );
}
This conversion essentially just reverses the position of the two bytes and returns them as a short - for example 3E D9 would become D9 3E.
A person who wears a Bodykom sensor, can record user initiated events by tapping the ECG sensor so that the built in accelerometer detects a vibration. Each such event is recorded as a part of the current block. User events are identified by the Bodykom app and the current block sequence number and current time is recorded as event markers, and the markers are transmitted to the server.
A ECG session may or may not contain any event markers. If a session
contains at least one event marker a t0
-file is added to the zip
file. When no event markers are present during a session, no event marker
file is generated.
The t0 file contains a series of event markers, where each marker is represented by four bytes. The first byte of each marker record always contains 0x00, followed by a tree byte little endian integer that identifies the block sequence number - offset relative to the first block of the session - where the marker occurred.
Marker 1 = 00 0A 00 00 = 0Ah = 10d * 1,707s = 17s
Marker 2 = 00 14 00 00 = 14h = 20d * 1,707s = 34s
Marker 2 = 00 26 00 00 = 26h = 38d * 1,707s = 65s = 1'5"
Marker 3 = 00 62 01 00 = 162h = 354d * 1,707s = 604s = 10'4"
Marker 4 = 00 09 04 00 = 409h = 1033d * 1,707s = 1763s = 29'23"
Marker 5 = 00 D6 05 00 = 5D6h = 1494d * 1,707s = 2550s = 42'30"

But the Boolean variable is not! Please read in MPG about reification, then
you will see that you actually do not need the Reify thing.

Arrays are initialized properly like this:
int i=5;
int m=10;
BoolVar B;
Reify r(b);
Intargs D (n*m);
Matrix <IntArgs> A (*this, n, m);
for (int i=0;i<m;i++){
for(int j=0;j<n;j++){
A(i,j)=1;
}
}
for (int i=0;i<m;i++){
linear (*this, A.col(i),B , IRT_EQ, 0, r);
}
if you have an example of reification of linear constraint, could you send
it to me.
Thank you.
Cheers

Hello everyone,
in my model, i want to express : x <--> Sum Ai*Bi = 0.
why i use linear constraint and reification such as :
IntArgs A ;
BoolVarArray B;
BoolVar b;
reify r (b);
linear (*this, A , B , IRT_EQ , 0 , r);
when running this gives me a segmentation fault. when I deleted the
parameter r that passes, the problem might therefore be in the parameter r.
if someone has an idea ! .
thank you.
Cheers,
Mehdi

--- title: Explorations in Markov Chain Monte Carlo - comparing results from MCMCglmm and lme4 author: '' date: '2018-03-26' slug: explorations-in-markov-chain-monte-carlo-mcmc categories: [r, walkthrough] tags: [MCMC, lme4] description: Comparing MCMCglmm and lme4 meta_img: /images/image.jpg ---
Note that due to version-related issues the code in this post is displayed but is not excecuted/run. If you run this code, parts may not work (depending upon the version of the packages used and, potentially, other factors).
I’ve been interested in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for a little while, in part because of a paper by Tom Houslay and Alastair Wilson (2017) that shows how using output from models the way I have been can lead to results that overstate the impact of effects.
In particular, I’m working on a project with colleagues in which we try to figure out how students’ engagement in summer STEM programs relates to changes in their interest (in STEM), controlling for their initial levels of interest. In this project, we use the student-specific predictions from mixed effects (or multi-level) models in other models predicting changes in their interests. Tom and Alastair show that doing this ignores the uncertainty in these predictions, leading to resolves that are stronger than they would be were this uncertainty included in modeling. In short, it’s a more conservative way of doing what we’re trying to do. But, it is not easy to do this approach using the tool for mixed effects models (the lme4 R package) we are using, but using a tool that uses MCMC methods, it is possible to do this.
This post explores MCMC methods by comparing the results of MCMC methods and those used by lme4 (which uses maximum likelihood (ML) estimation) in a case in which we would expect the results to be the same, namely, when MCMC methods with particular settings for relatively simple models.
MCMCglmm methods, unlike lmer, requires priors. For my super limited understanding, there are two related ways to look at these priors. One is that they constrain the possible values that parameters may take in order to set the modeling up for success (this is how Malsburg describes them in this tutorial). Another way to look at priors is to consider them as part of a Bayesian approach, in which they represent the degree of belief in different parameter values.
There are also cases when the prior values can be estimated from the data in the sample. Gelman and Hill (2007) describe multi-level models in these terms: For the “random” effects, usually “grouping” variables like the classroom students are in, for example, the prior for the classroom-specific effects is estimated on the basis of the mean and variance in the dependent variable from the whole sample / data set collected. In these cases (in which the prior for “random” effects can be estimated from the data), the priors for the other variables can be set to be neutral, much closer to the “constrain the possible values that parameters may take” than the Bayesian approach. In these cases, for models that can be estimated with both MCMC and ML, the estimates should be very close to one another.
This post tries to see just how close they are, using the lme4 and MCMCglmm packages.
I load the two packages (for the modeling), the tidyverse package for some basic data processing, and the railtrails package for some example data. This data consists of reviews for rail-trails (trails for biking and running!). I filter the data to just use the data for Michigan (to make sure things run quickly) and create a data set without any missing y-values (where the y values represent the trail review).
A very simple model is estimated: a random intercept model, or a model in which each trail’s intercept (or mean) is estimated, accounting for each trail’s number of reviews and their mean and variance in light of the reviews across all trails and their mean and variance.
library(lme4)
library(MCMCglmm)
library(tidyverse)
library(railtrails)
d <- railtrails::railtrails
d <- filter(d, state == "MI")
d <- unnest(d, raw_reviews)
d_ss <- filter(d, !is.na(raw_reviews)) # this is because lme4 does not work with missing y-variable values
Here are the results of the model estimated using lme4:
m1 <- lmer(raw_reviews ~ 1 + (1|name), data = d_ss)
summary(m1)
#> Linear mixed model fit by REML ['lmerMod']
#> Formula: raw_reviews ~ 1 + (1 | name)
#> Data: d_ss
#>
#> REML criterion at convergence: 2610
#>
#> Scaled residuals:
#> Min 1Q Median 3Q Max
#> -3.9423 -0.4646 0.2403 0.6066 1.8297
#>
#> Random effects:
#> Groups Name Variance Std.Dev.
#> name (Intercept) 0.3285 0.5731
#> Residual 0.9254 0.9620
#> Number of obs: 899, groups: name, 116
#>
#> Fixed effects:
#> Estimate Std. Error t value
#> (Intercept) 4.06245 0.06909 58.8
The key thing to note is the Estimate
for the intercept ((Intercept)
) in the “Fixed effects” section, and the Variance
for the trail name (name
) in the “Random effects” section. It looks like the intercept’s estimate, which represents the mean review across all of the trails, is 4.062, and the variance is 0.328, suggesting that, on average, each trail’s estimated review is 4.062 plus or minus 0.328. So, most trails are reviewed pretty highly, around 4 (on the 1-5 scale), with some higher and some lower.
Here are the results of the model estimated using MCMCglmm. To setup the prior, I followed the advice in this tutorial (also linked above), which is similar to the advice given in Tom and Alastair’s tutorials and in the MCMCglmm resources.
prior <- list(
R=list(V=1, n=1, fix=1),
G=list(G1=list(V = diag(1),
n = 1,
alpha.mu = rep(0, 1),
alpha.V = diag(1)*25^2)))
m2 <- MCMCglmm(fixed = raw_reviews ~ 1,
random= ~ us(1):name,
family = "gaussian",
data=as.data.frame(d),
prior=prior,
verbose=TRUE)

The key values are the post.mean
values for the intercept ((Intercept)
) in the “Location effects” section, and the variance of the intercept ((Intercept):(Intercept).name
) in the “G-structure” section. It looks like the intercept’s estimate, which represents the mean review across all of the trails, is 4.063, and the variance is 0.328, just about equal. Because of the nature of MCMC, there will be slightly different results each time it is run. The longer that the estimation is run, the more stable the estimates will be.
Here is a summary of the two parameters’ values for the two methods:
| method | fixef_intercept | trail_variance |
|---|---|---|
| lme4 | 4.062 | 0.328 |
| MCMCglmm | 4.063 | 0.328 |
One key point that is skipped for now is the importance of examining diagnostic plots (for the MCMCglmm results, in particular, but also for those from lme4) and other measures of how well the estimates fit the data. There is also a lot more to MCMC than this (and that I don’t know about), and the use of MCMC becomes harder (for me) - but also more useful - with more complex models and data.


This widget allows you to bind a non-select list to trigger changes on a <select> element.
As with all the Uranium widgets, we first need to wrap the widget in a div with the attribute data-ur-set="select-list".
Then we have two components to consider. One is the <select> tag, which produces the drop-down list of options. The select tag has an attribute of data-ur-select-list-component="select". Each <option> tag within the select tag should have a unique value.
The second component is the list of items (it could be a
, for example). The list has an attribute of data-ur-select-list-component="content". The items in the list should have a value corresponding to the value they will select in the drop-down menu. E.g. if we want the "medium" option in the drop-down selected when we click on the "medium" list option, give them both the attribute value="medium".
A
 is the trigger list in this case.

<select data-ur-select-list-component='select'>
<option selected='true' value='-1'> -None- </option>
<option value='SKU-XS'> XS </option>
<option value='SKU-S'> S </option>
<option value='SKU-M'> M </option>
<option value='SKU-L'> L </option>
</select>

 -None-

 XS

 S

 M

 L

Sampson charged over alleged racist comment
by OmnisportFormer England Women's manager Mark Sampson has been charged by the Football Association (FA) for allegedly using racist language.
Sampson is now caretaker boss at League Two side Stevenage and is alleged to have breached FA Rule E3, relating to a comment that was "improper and/or abusive and/or insulting".
It is claimed to be an "aggravated breach", meaning it referenced "ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race and/or nationality".
Stevenage undertook an internal investigation in September after "allegations of racially discriminatory language" were reported in the media.
The club said the claims, purportedly made by a Stevenage coach dismissed by Sampson, had "no foundation".
However, following the FA's own investigation, Sampson now has until December 6 to respond to the charge.
The Welshman, who led England to the semi-finals of the 2015 Women's World Cup, was sacked as the Lionesses boss in September 2017.
The FA said it had made the decision after evidence emerged of "inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour" during his time with Bristol Academy.
It insisted Sampson's dismissal was not linked to allegations made by former England forward Eniola Aluko that there had been alleged discriminatory behaviour on the manager's part.

Chapter 7 Github for Publishing
7.1 Preamble
Note: the slides for this chapter have additional screenshots not included here yet.
We are going to talk about GitHub, and learn about using it for publication and project management. We will focus on collaboration and communication with hands-on practice.
We are going to work with GitHub from the browser only, because it makes the best use of our short time together. It is also a powerful way for folks to contribute and collaborate even if they are not involved in day-to-day hands-on analysis. So this might be good for new lab members or students to contribute to your lab as soon as possible.
GitHub can reduce friction for open science: lets us publish and communicate without a lot of heavy lifting!
7.2 What is GitHub? — Traditional answer
GitHub means GitHub.com; it’s a company.
It centers around git, which is powerful version control software for your local computer. This has been around for years, taking care of bookkeeping for you locally on your computer.
GitHub makes git collaborative through a powerful online platform. It will weave together all the bookkeeping from your local computer with other collaborators you work with.
It is used for code and files: organize, archive, bookkeeping, searchable, changes visualized, etc.
We aren’t going to teach traditional git/GitHub today, but here are 2 recommended tutorials from OHI-Science’s data-science-training. This teaches you how to set up GitHub to sync directly through RStudio, so that you don’t have to have any other software (including the command line) open to do so:
Note: locally, I interact with GitHub through RStudio 99.9% of the time (use command line .1% of time). There is also a chapter on R, RStudio, and RMarkdown.
7.3 What is GitHub? — Non-traditional answer
7.3.1 Publishing platform
It’s for books, websites, interactive dashboards
7.3.2 Project management system
It’s a project management system for short and long-term tasks. Really powerful to have collaborative todo’s in the same software (and user accounts) as all the analysis and all the people that you’re already working with.
We will talk about “Issues” & “Projects” in the next chapter
7.4 Github framework in a nutshell
7.4.1 Users vs. organizations
Example: jules32 vs. openscapes. You can think of them like other social media accounts: I can be an individual or part of a group, and there are permissions associated with both.
7.4.2 Repositories (“repos”)
Repos are GitHub’s main unit. They are essentially a folder, and you’ll put files and folders in them. They are contained, with permissions specific to each one.
It makes it easier to navigate through and find stuff — so you are “not sifting through a zoo of files”.
7.4.3 “Commits” & “commit messages”
Unlike Dropbox or Google Drive that constantly sync to the cloud, you have to deliberately say when you have an amount of work that you want to be versioned and synced. You have to commit to it. GitHub takes care of the backend bookkeeping involved, but you have to write a human-readable message to your future self and others. That is the commit message. Leave breadcrumbs for yourself.
7.4.4 Public vs private
7.4.5 Search feature is awesome
This helps so much for navigating through the zoo of files.
7.5 GitHub Orientation
This is a demo
7.6 Editing files from GitHub.
This is also a demo, but we covered:
First a Disclaimer: you don’t want to edit from the browser for most things – you would want to “clone” the repo to your local computer and leverage more goodies & power. However, you will sometimes edit in the browser, and it’s a good entry point for us today, and maybe for onboarding folks in your lab in the future.
In the demo, the example .md was a deliberate example of sharing slides from a talk :)
What to do: (you all have permissions)
- Go to https://github.com/openscapes/demoyourname.md
- Click on the pencil to edit your file
- Make many edits & commits with commit messages
- Github.com has a default message, but get into the habit of writing an actual message to yourself/others (breadcrumbs)
- This is different from saving (cancel if you save!)

Description
This object implements the NcHaloDensityProfile class for a Hernquist density profile.
As described NcHaloDensityProfile, we just need to implement the dimensionless 3D density $\hat{\rho}(x)$
[which refers to the virtual function nc_halo_density_profile_eval_dl_density()
].
In particular, the Hernquist profile is given by
\begin{equation}
\hat{\rho}(x) = \frac{1}{x(1 + x)^3},
\end{equation}
where $x = r/r_s$ and $r_s$ is the scale radius.
Both the mass $M_\Delta$ and the scale profile $\rho_s$ are written in terms of the integral
$I_{x^2\hat\rho}(c_\Delta)$ [virtual function nc_halo_density_profile_eval_dl_spher_mass()
].
The respective Hernquist implementation provides
\begin{equation}
I_{x^2\hat\rho}(x) = \frac{x^2}{2(1 + x)^2}.
\end{equation}
The Hernquist dimensionless surface mass density [virtual function nc_halo_density_profile_eval_dl_2d_density()
] is
\begin{equation}
\hat{\Sigma}(X) = \frac{1}{\left( X^2 - 1 \right)^2} \left[\frac{\left(2 + X^2 \right) \arctan \left(\sqrt{X^2 - 1} \right)}{\sqrt{\left( X^2 - 1 \right)}} - 3\right].
\end{equation}
For $X^2 - 1 < 0$ the equation above can be written in terms of $\mathrm{arctanh}(\sqrt{\vert X^2 - 1 \vert})$.
If $\vert X - 1 \vert < 10^{-6}$ or $X < 10^{-6}$, $\hat{\Sigma} (X)$ is computed using
the Taylor series expansion at $1$ or $0$ respectively (with sufficient terms in order to obtain double precision).
The Hernquist enclosed mass is [virtual function nc_halo_density_profile_eval_dl_cyl_mass()
]
\begin{equation}
\hat{\overline{\Sigma}} (< X) = X^2 / (X^2 - 1) * \eft[1 - 2 * \arctan \left(\sqrt{\vert X - 1 \vert / (X + 1)\right)\right];,
\end{equation}
Similar expressions in terms of $\mathrm{arctanh}$ and approximations, as described above, are used here.

Posting this here mainly in case this issue happens to come up again. I've noticed several cases in recent cloud console Notification Activity in which repeated disk-attachment errors were reported. In those cases I didn't notice any database service outages, but this still seems like something that could end up not being an isolated incident.
Problem
- Between 22:10 and 22:20 on 2016-06-29, the Google cloud console Activity record shows that the persistent disks mounted to nodes in the
warehouse-provisioning-1
k8s cluster detached themselves from the instances they had been attached to. - I say "detached themselves" because neither myself nor anyone at OAO executed any k8s commands to explicitly detach them. The root cause for the detachment is uncertain.
- The timing of this SSD latency incident incident from the GCE status page seems to coincide with when these detachments happened. I imagine that disks might have had to be detached and reattached as part of whatever Google engineers did to resolve the issue, but that's a guess on my part.
- In any case, while the disks were also automatically reattached, the abrupt disconnection left them in an inconsistent state, so that Postgres instances which use these disk mounts for storage were unable to start due to I/O errors.
- Result:
warehouse-postgres
andmart-postgres
instances were down since roughly 22:19.
Resolution
Basically, to get things working again, I had to fsck
the affected disks, then detach them from the instances they were attached to with a gcloud
command. So, for example, in the case of the disk mart-data-disk
attached to warehouse-provisioning-1-fde62020-node-8n9r
I had to:
1 2 3 4 | ssh warehouse-provisioning-1-fde62020-node-8n9r \
sudo fsck.ext4 -v -y /dev/disk/by-id/google-mart-data-disk
gcloud compute instances detach-disk \
gke-warehouse-provisioning-1-fde62020-node-8n9r --disk mart-data-disk
|
Then restart the mart-postgres
as usual with kubectl create -f mart-postgres.yaml
.

Standard SPARQL can perform negation using the idiom of OPTIONAL
/!BOUND
.
It is inconvenient and can be hard to use as complexity increases. ARQ supports
additional operators for negation.
This is syntactic extension and is available if the query is parsed
with language Syntax.syntaxARQ
.
# Names of people who have not stated that they know anyone PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . OPTIONAL { ?x foaf:knows ?who } . FILTER (!BOUND(?who)) }
In ARQ, there is the NOT EXISTS
operator (UNSAID
is
an alias for NOT EXISTS
) which acts at the point in the query where
it is written. It does not bind any variables but variables aready boudn in the
query will have their bound value.
# Names of people who have not stated that they know anyone PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . NOT EXISTS { ?x foaf:knows ?who } }
There is also an EXISTS
operator.
# Names of people where it is stated that they know at least one other person. PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . EXISTS { ?x foaf:knows ?who . FILTER(?who != ?x) } }
In this example, the pattern is a little more complex. Any graph pattern is
allowed although use of OPTIONAL
is pointless (which will always
match, possible with no additional results).
NOT EXISTS
and EXISTS
can also be used in
FILTER
expressions. In SPARQL, FILTER
expressions act over
the whole of the basic graph pattern in which they occur.
# Names of people who have not stated that they know anyone PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . FILTER (NOT EXISTS { ?x foaf:knows ?who }) }
A note of caution:
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . FILTER (NOT EXISTS { ?x foaf:knows ?y }) ?x foaf:knows ?who }
is the same as (it's a single basic graph pattern - the filter does not break it in two):
PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> SELECT ?name WHERE { ?x foaf:givenName ?name . ?x foaf:knows ?y . FILTER (NOT EXISTS { ?x foaf:knows ?who }) }
and the
FILTER
will always be false ({ ?x foaf:knows ?y }
must
have matched to get to this point in the query and useing ?who instead makes no
difference).

Desktop Deployment¶
pgAdmin may be deployed as a desktop application by configuring the application to run in desktop mode and then utilising the desktop runtime to host and display the program on a supported Windows, Mac OS X or Linux installation.
Note: Pre-compiled and configured installation packages are available for a number of platforms. These packages should be used by end-users whereever possible - the following information is useful for the maintainers of those packages and users interested in understanding how pgAdmin works.
Configuration¶
In order to configure pgAdmin to run in desktop mode, it is first necessary to configure the Python code to run in single-user mode, and then to configure the runtime to find and execute the code.
Note that there are multiple configuration files that are read at startup by pgAdmin. These are as follows:
config.py
: This is the main configuration file, and should not be modified. It can be used as a reference for configuration settings, that may be overridden in one of the following files.config_distro.py
: This file is read afterconfig.py
and is intended for packagers to change any settings that are required for their pgAdmin distribution. This may typically include certain paths and file locations.config_local.py
: This file is read afterconfig_distro.py
and is intended for end users to change any default or packaging specific settings that they may wish to adjust to meet local preferences or standards.
Python¶
In order to configure the Python code, follow these steps:
Ensure that any existing configuration database (
pgadmin4.db
) is moved out of the way in theweb/
directory containing the pgAdmin Python code.Create a
config_local.py
file alongside the existingconfig.py
file.Edit
config_local.py
and add the following setting:SERVER_MODE = False
Run the following command to create the configuration database:
$ python setup.py
Alternatively, you can simply run pgAdmin4.py
at this point or aat a later time,
and pgadmin4.db
will be created automatically at first run.
Runtime¶
When executed, the runtime will automatically try to execute the pgAdmin Python application. If execution fails, it will prompt you to adjust the Python Path to include the directories containing the pgAdmin code as well as any additional Python dependencies. You can enter a list of paths by separating them with a semi-colon character, for example:
/Users/dpage/.virtualenvs/pgadmin4/lib/python2.7/site-packages/;/Users/dpage/python-libs/
The configuration settings are stored using the QSettings class in Qt, which
will use an INI file on Unix systems, a plist file on Mac OS X, and the registry
on Windows. The Python Path setting is stored in the PythonPath
key.


CLIFFHANGER A review by Steve Baumgarten<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Although a two-word review would be nearly sufficient for this one ("Climb Hard"), it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to write, and it would be a tad misleading. I should say at the outset that if nothing else, CLIFFHANGER proves how difficult it is to make a top-notch action film, no matter how much money or how many digital effects you throw at it. It also shows quite convincingly why Arnold Schwarzenegger is the biggest box office draw of his generation, while Sylvester Stallone is quickly becoming an embarrassing curiosity, someone who apparently cannot be convinced to settle for his decade worth of fame and fortune and fade gracefully into the background. (In fact, Stallone's performance in CLIFFHANGER does more than that: it really forces us to think about which other action/adventure star has done so much to ruin a film so promising. None come to mind, though perhaps as I get further into this review I'll suffer a DOUBLE IMPACT / UNIVERSAL SOLDIER flashback and decide upon Jean-Claude Van Damme. Though at least Van Damme is still cheap.)
Stallone is not cheap; in fact, nothing about CLIFFHANGER is cheap. Unfortunately, nothing about CLIFFHANGER is all that good, either; as a virtual clone of DIE HARD, it hardly merits a mention in the same paragraph, though on the surface it's not immediately clear why. After all, CLIFFHANGER is chock full of nasty, sneering European terrorists; high-tech explosions; graphic violence; hundreds of thousands of dollars that can be accessed only through the use of a computer code; and a bare-chested, steroidal hero who wreaks havoc on the terrorists and single-handedly saves the day. Even the altitude of the two films is nearly the same; although come to think of it, Bruce Willis never seemed to be suffering from oxygen deprivation -- and yet oxygen deprivation is the only thing that could reasonably explain Stallone's unrelievedly awful dialogue.
Yes, Stallone wrote the screenplay (or should I say, "rewrote" it, since however execrable it seems in its current form, it was apparently even worse before Sly "improved" it). And CLIFFHANGER's terrible screenplay is its Achilles heel, for although director Renny Harlin (who did a respectable job in the similarly implausible DIE HARD 2) does what he can to keep our minds off of Stallone's dialogue, inevitably the film slows down and we find ourselves stuck on a ledge with nothing between us and a perilous fall into unintentional hilarity but the thin rope of Stallone's wit. Rope? Better make that thread...
There are also other, more subtle problems with the film. One that looms particularly large is the sheer unoriginality of the screenplay -- as I mentioned, the writer(s) seemed to want to remake DIE HARD on a mountain instead of inside a skyscraper. That they did, though in doing so they missed many of the elements that made DIE HARD so successful (putting aside clever dialogue and a hero who didn't make the audience cringe every time he appeared on the screen). Primarily, they missed DIE HARD's single-minded, pared-down focus. We never got a lot of background or human interest stories in DIE HARD; in fact, one of its best qualities is that it went from civilized Christmas party to Bruce Willis running bare-foot through broken glass in an astonishingly short amount of time. Yes, much of DIE HARD was silly; much was entirely implausible; much was downright maudlin. But because its pacing was so superb, the filmmakers were able to trick us into overlooking all its flaws and instead see only the film's central vision. At heart, DIE HARD was little more than a high-tech spaghetti Western, with Bruce Willis as -- quite literally for most of the film -- The Man With No Name, who against unbelievable odds must save the town and the woman he loves from death and destruction at the hands of sinister bad guys.
But I defy anyone who has seen CLIFFHANGER to tell me what this film's vision is. Actually, I'll settle for a conference call with Harlin, Stallone, and anyone at all at Carolco willing to admit to paying Stallone what amounts to $2 million for each of his unbroken string of duds since RAMBO to star in, rewrite, and ruin this one.
CLIFFHANGER is, in fact, three films, two of which star Mr. Stallone and only one of which is particularly interesting. The first film provides background for Stallone's character, Gabe Walker, who loses his confidence as a rescue ranger when he lets an inexperienced climber slip from his grasp and plunge to her digitally enhanced doom. That Walker could have done little to save her and that in fact he did nothing at all to put her life in jeopardy is treated by the screenplay as one of those small, unimportant details that only sticklers for plausible motivation will care about. Since the filmmakers assume that their audience will be comprised, for the most part, of unthinking dolts, it hardly matters what happens in the scene, as long as Stallone gives himself a reason to look disheartened and forlorn for the next half hour. (Not to give anything away, but in a surprise twist Stallone ceases looking disheartened and forlorn when he learns that his best friend is in trouble -- rendering the whole of the film's first sub-plot entirely pointless.)
After its breathtaking opening sequence, the film crashes back to earth for what seems like an eternity as the second of the three sub-plots is laboriously set up. Here we are introduced to us the terrorists, lead by John Lithgow in predictably over-the-top, sociopathic style, and their own plot to hijack a Treasury plane transporting three suitcases filled with thousand-dollar bills. I won't go into the details of their plan here, as its execution is surely the high point of the film and provides CLIFFHANGER with a much needed -- though meager -- dose of originality. It also keeps Stallone and his inability to act off the screen for 20 minutes or so, which certainly doesn't hurt -- though it does make us wonder whether CLIFFHANGER could have been further improved by eliminating Stallone's character entirely and allowing Michael Rooker to share in the heroics with Janine Turner. Both are accomplished actors, and both are just as qualified as Stallone to allow stunt doubles and digital compositing to handle the action part of this action-adventure film. As for running around in snow-covered fields waving automatic weapons, well, anyone can do that. The real question is whether CLIFFHANGER would have been as much of a draw without Stallone; I'd argue that it might have been even more of one without his ham-handed presence both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.
As long as the hijacking is in progress, the film seems fresh, fun, and original. But once the terrorists crash-land and begin trying to find the suitcases, things take a decided turn for the worst. This happens in two ways: first, although there is a surfeit of running around, shooting and hiding, there seems a remarkable paucity of mountain climbing. Perhaps this is because Stallone looks nothing at all like a mountain climber (and in fact looks absolutely ridiculous as he pulls his way up the side of a cliff in one of the rare climbing scenes); perhaps it's because the filmmakers decided that mountain climbing -- being a slow and deliberate process that can't be quick-cut edited into random places in the film -- just wouldn't be exciting enough for their supposedly jaded audience. If so, they made a terrible mistake. One need only sit with an audience watching the IMAX film TO THE LIMIT to realize the profound effect real mountain climbing can have on people who rarely take the stairs at their places of work, let alone set out to scale the side of a cliff. Certainly we've all seen people shooting at each other with automatic weapons; given the choice between a clever (but relatively bloodless) cat-and-mouse chase up and across perilous cliffs, and the usual mindless Hollywood violence, I suspect people would much rather pay to see the former.
What we get, however, is the latter. The "running around and shooting" portion of the film is CLIFFHANGER's third sub-plot, and it is without a doubt the weakest, if only because it is the least original and most mean-spirited of the three. I mentioned above that once the terrorists crash-land, things take a turn for the worst in two ways, and as this third sub-plot unfolds, we quickly discover that as lively and as fresh the first half of the film seemed, the second becomes just as mean-spirited and vicious. I thought this incredibly unfortunate, partly because I'd believed we'd left such inane violence and cruelty behind us in the films of the late eighties, and partly because it seems so much at odds with the film's beautiful natural surroundings. It's one thing for Bruce Willis to pump dozens of rounds of automatic weapon fire into a terrorist in a high-tech office building in 1988; it's another thing to watch this same scene unfold beneath delicately snow-capped trees and in front of breath-taking natural vistas. Nature is not without its own kind of violence and cruelty, but Wild Kingdom this is not.
This third sub-plot is also greatly weakened by some of the sloppiest editing I've seen this year. To be honest, much of the last half-hour of the film simply doesn't make sense -- it seemed to me that CLIFFHANGER had been hacked down to its 118-minute running time from an original film of much greater length, and given that the screenplay (at any length) was never a paragon of logic, this editing rendered the end of the film nearly incomprehensible. Too many scenes simply exist in a vacuum -- we often have no feeling for how Stallone or the terrorists got from one cliff to another, or where any individual location is in relation to any other. The film does feature one character who walks around with an electronic suitcase-finder; too bad he doesn't also have a continuity-finder, for at times we feel about as lost and abandoned as those suitcases.
This lack of continuity reaches its nadir when Stallone attempts to follow the terrorists across a foot bridge between two cliffs. The scene is featured prominently in the film's advertising, and those of us who saw the ads expect Stallone to make it most of the way, trigger an explosion, and then leap to safety at the last moment. At least we expect a stunt double to do this. Or $5 million worth of T2-style computer animation. Something, anyway. But in fact what happens is that Stallone jumps *back* to the cliff whence he came. While this may seem marginally more plausible, it does pose a small problem: sans a telephone booth nearby (into which Stallone might run to don his Superman outfit so as to fly across the chasm), it's not clear how the pursuit of the terrorists will continue.
But continue it does, of course, logic be damned. That kind of contempt for an audience's intelligence really bothers me, since it's so unnecessary. It's one thing to ask us to believe that Treasury planes fly around with suitcases full of thousand-dollar bills; perhaps they do. But how can we be expected to buy a chase scene set in the mountains that -- somehow -- never involves any mountain-climbing? Putting people on a ledge is inherently dramatic; having them run around shooting each other (or worse, beating each other up in ways that make the ROCKY films look tame in comparison) is not.
 (My feeling is that something like this happened as soon as Stallone rolled blank paper into his typewriter.) The scenery upstages everything, even Stallone's lovingly photographed and scantily clad body. The special effects are usually very good, but often they don't look particularly convincing, perhaps because the two-dimensional characters, awful dialogue, and incoherent plot keep us from fully suspending disbelief. Or perhaps because they're just not consistently good (as the special effects in T2 were). Scenes that were shot indoors look like they were shot indoors, especially one in which Stallone chases the film's plausibility out on to thin ice. (Hint: only he survives.) The situation might have been helped had Stallone himself ever gone near a step ladder, let alone a mountain; less optical printing and more actual rock climbing might have left more money for better special effects used less frequently. As it is, all of the scenes set on cliffs -- and that were actually filmed outdoors, rather than simulated on a sound stage -- utilize stunt doubles, and most are filmed from quite a distance. A nice close-up or two of Stallone actually on a cliff might have helped lend some authenticity to the proceedings. But as he's afraid of heights, that wasn't a possibility, so the burden of making a realistic-looking film was pushed off on to the many special effects houses involved with the production.
Rooker and Turner are largely wasted; in fact, it wasn't clear to me why their characters were written into the screenplay in the first place. Remember that John McClane's wife in DIE HARD served no purpose other than to be taken hostage; yet although Turner plays side-kick to Stallone throughout much of the film, she's allowed to do little more than dilute the film's focus. And when it comes to focus, CLIFFHANGER seems more than a little astigmatic -- the last thing Stallone needs are two other "good guys" getting caught up underfoot, doing little more than showcasing his inability to act.
CLIFFHANGER opened when it did for a reason: faced with competition from JURASSIC PARK and LAST ACTION HERO, Tri Star wisely opted for an otherwise action-adventure-free weekend, at least three weeks before the two biggest summer draws were scheduled to open. With competition coming only from a handful of light spring comedies, CLIFFHANGER is bound to do well at the box office. But come August, when people may well be seeing the best of this summer's blockbusters for a second and third time, I doubt if anyone but Carolco's bankruptcy attorneys will remember this strictly-by-the-numbers film.

| oauth_app {httr} | R Documentation |
See the demos for instructions on how to create an OAuth app for linkedin, twitter, vimeo, facebook, github and google. When wrapping an API from a package, the author may want to include a default app to facilitate early and casual use and then provide a method for heavy or advanced users to supply their own app or key and secret.
oauth_app(appname, key, secret = NULL, redirect_uri = oauth_callback())
appname |
name of the application. This is not used for OAuth, but is used to make it easier to identify different applications. |
key |
consumer key, also sometimes called the client ID |
secret |
consumer secret, also sometimes called the client secret. Despite its name, this does not necessarily need to be protected like a password, i.e. the user still has to authenticate themselves and grant the app permission to access resources on their behalf. For example, see Google's docs for OAuth2 for installed applications. |
redirect_uri |
The URL that user will be redirected to after authorisation is complete. You should generally leave this as the default unless you're using a non-standard auth flow (like with shiny). |
Other OAuth:
oauth1.0_token()
,
oauth2.0_token()
,
oauth_endpoint()
,
oauth_service_token()
## Not run: google_app <- oauth_app( "google", key = "123456789.apps.googleusercontent.com", secret = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" ) ## End(Not run)

Surface indices of reference frames in DPB.
Each entry of the list specifies the surface index of the picture that is referred by current picture or will be referred by any future picture. Application who calls this API should update this list based on the refreshing information from VP9 bitstream.


Diversity Consultant | Project Manager | Workshop Instructor | Sociologist
I am a Diversity Consultant, Project Coordinator, Workshop Instructor and Writer with a passion for Gender Equality. I love learning languages, traveling and animals.
I love taking on new challenges. My passion is to create and coordinate projects that make a real difference in our societies. When I’m able to help and empower people, I am thriving the most. I hope that my work will always be able to promote fact-driven critical thinking.
My goal is to bring diverse, inclusive and respectful thinking into our workplaces and everyday lives.
I’m interested in the premises of respectful and positive human interactions. I am always looking for new ways to balance out our unconscious biases and create awareness for the struggle of different groups. Explaining and leveling out privileges is one of the most challenging parts of this equation.
I have always been eager to understand the effect of culture and language on people’s mindsets and habits. That is probably why I have always been drawn to international environments. Through my work at universities and NGOs as well as through my relocation to different countries, I have strong intercultural competences and sensitivity.
I hold a Master of Arts in Sociology with a focus on Gender Studies and Diversity. I also had the pleasure to study the Master “Gender, Culture and Social Change” in Innsbruck, Austria, during my Erasmus exchange semester.
Having this strong analytical background helps me understand the interplay of social issues. I love breaking down complex phenomena and explain them as simply as possible.
I enjoy networking and getting to know new interesting people. Public speaking and giving talks is one of my strengths.
I am very structured and like to take on new challenges & roles.
As a Project Coordinator, I enjoy event planning, time scheduling, team-building, monitoring and press work. Coordinating projects comes easily to me since I am a very structured and detail-orientated person.
As a Workshop Instructor & Teacher, I love inspiring people and to be involved in every part: from development over planning to implementation. I feel most challenged when I can solve conflicts, engage others and find the right approach to the specific composition of a group.
As a Writer, I am able to use the full range of creativity. I am comfortable writing academically, journalistically and narratively. Recently, I took on the challenge of Social Media Marketing, where I am able to integrate graphic design into my portfolio.
