THE SANDLOT A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1993 James Berardinelli
Date Released: 4/7/93 Running Length: 1:43 Rated: PG (Scary moments, language)
Starring: Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna, Chauncey Leopardi, Karen Allen, James Earl Jones Director: David Mickey Evans Producers: Dale DeLatorre and William S. Gilmore Screenplay: David Mickey Evans and Robert Gunter Music: David Newman Released by Twentieth Century Fox
Eight boys, led by Benjamin Rodriquez (Mike Vitar), make up a sandlot baseball team in Southern California during the late fifties. When Scotty Small (Tom Guiry) moves into town, he doesn't know how to catch or throw, despite the best efforts of his stepfather to teach him. That all changes, however, when Ben befriends him. Now, with their ninth man, the sandlot group is a full team. However, although their little field is a great place to play ball, it has its dark secret, for beyond the home run fence lurks The Beast, some kind of fearsome dog about which frightful stories abound.
Kids and adults will enjoy THE SANDLOT, but for different reasons. Children will find in it an adventure with a sense of humor that they can both relate to and find in an escape from the real world. Writer/director David Mickey Evans hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a boy in the middle of summer with nothing to do but swim in pools, pal around, and play ball.
Adults, especially men, will find in the movie a sense of almost-poignant nostalgia. The story is told WONDER YEARS-style, with a modern day baseball announcer looking back on his childhood (the narrative is at times too reminiscent of Kevin Arnold's ramblings). As is frequently the case when we look back on our past, things are tinted by a pleasant glow that leaves behind only the better parts of the memories. This is the feel that THE SANDLOT strives for, and mostly succeeds in attaining.
The common theme bridging the age gap in the audience is baseball. This is a world where the game means everything. There is no arbitration, no salary disputes, no 8 million dollar contracts. In the world of THE SANDLOT, baseball is still America's number one national pastime, and, in the closing scenes with James Earl Jones, it's easy to get a sense of the greatness that underlies playing ball.
Those that have a distaste for baseball will probably find little to like in this movie. While it isn't necessarily written just for fans of the game, enjoying baseball--as well as having some memories of playing on any level--will enhance the pleasure of watching THE SANDLOT. Sure, the movie gets silly at times, and the second half isn't as engaging as the first, but since the entire story is a fond collage of memories made more grand by the passage of time, it's easy to forgive such faults.
To classify this picture as a "male film" is to do it a great disservice. THE SANDLOT is no more a movie for men and boys alone than FRIED GREEN TOMATOES is just for women. Even though all the main characters (except Scotty's mom, played by Karen Allen) are boys doesn't mean that women can't appreciate what happens on screen. Memories of childhood are frequently gender-independent. Men might have the inside track of some elements of nostalgia touched on by THE SANDLOT, but they don't have a monopoly. And humor, as well as the love of baseball, are universal.
There will be those who will find this film a too-silly fantasy, but they have either missed or chosen not to feel the magic that THE SANDLOT weaves. With the exception of some mild profanity, there's little in this movie capable of offending. THE SANDLOT is an excellent choice for a family night at the movies. The previews for it may look bland, but this is one occasion when clips are unable to do more than scratch the surface of the mood and story from which they have been extracted. Predictable as the movie is, the FIELD OF DREAMS quality is not the only thing to like about THE SANDLOT.
Rating: 8.4 out of 10 (B+, *** out of ****)

Inside Jeffrey Epstein's ranch with underground strip club and 8-person shower
The paedophile's secluded 10,000-acre Zorro Ranch in New Mexico reportedly had an underground strip club and cameras in every room - and it's believed he would take 30 VIP guests there at a time
by Danya Bazaraa, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/danya-bazaraa/This is Jeffrey Epstein's 10,000-acre ranch with an underground strip club, an eight-person shower and cameras in every room.
The late convicted sex offender brought VIP guests to the secluded Zorro Ranch in New Mexico a few times a year.
Images from inside the property show a winding staircase leading downstairs - and it is claimed Epstein had an underground 'strip club' for entertaining his visitors with teenage girls.
"I had seen things in the house, on the computers, which made me evaluate whether I should be working for him or not," a former contractor told Albuquerque radio.
"There was numerous photographs in frames, in his library, his office, on the walls, of young underage girls topless and him and various other powerful people."
The contractor also claimed Epstein had sculptures of a 'sexual nature'.
He said 'everybody would get in' the 'party' shower.
Another source claimed there were secret cameras in every room.
Pictures of the ranch, released by the Daily Mail, show the estate's vast scrubland, with outhouses in the middle of the acres of land.
The home is even said to have its own small airport.
Inside, the apparent 'party shower' is lined with oils and toiletries.
Meanwhile an indoor bathing area has a big pool and a hot tub.
A life-sized painting of Jesus on a golden cross hangs on the walls of one of the bedrooms.
In a library, antique furniture fills the room along with Gothic chandeliers.
The anonymous contractor said: "It's a huge home, when you approach it, it looks like a resort hotel, way up on the hill, you can barely see it from the town down below, and there's a long loop road up there and he's got a small airport. "
He said Epstein would go to the ranch a couple of times a year with an entourage of about 30 people who he would party with.
Another former contractor told the radio station that underground in the property, Epstein had a 'club' with poles.
He said it was used for dancing and entertainment but staff were not allowed down there.
The ranch is one of several homes which Epstein had.
Epstein, 66, was found hanging in his Manhattan jail cell - where he was awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges he denied - and he was pronounced dead in hospital a short time later.
The disgraced financier's death on August 10 was ruled a suicide by New York City's chief medical examiner.
He was not sharing a cell with another prisoner at the time of his death.


I'm new to the forum so hopefully posting this right...
I am happily assembling my first emonTX and emonBase. My dream is to use several TX's inside a distribution panel, each one measuring a different 3-phase service (240V) to buildings here at the community, and feeding the data into 1 emonBase which I intend to connect directly to a computer rather than to the website. Your comments welcomed about that.
Unfortunately the SCT-013-000 CT only accommodates wire diameters up to about 12mm, and some of these services are wired with 17mm cables. Please note I am confident there are no individual phases pulling more than 100A. Can someone recommend a larger size CT that is compatible with emonTX?
Re: Larger CT?
Any current transformer that has a sufficient VA rating will work with an external burden resistor. You need to choose the transformer ratio and burden to give about 1.1 V rms at the maximum current you need to measure, and then the transformer VA rating is determined by that.
You could try something like one of these from rapidonline.com but noting the output is 0.333 V rms. You could try contacting the factor/manufacturer to check what the exact effect of increasing the burden resistance will be (if that's possible), and see what they recommend. If you use it only to the nominal output voltage, then you will only be using 1/3 of the input range and you will have significant inaccuracies when measuring low powers.
I believe one of the forum members is successfully using one of these, but not with the standard emonTx kit - he's using it with the Arduino board with a 1.1 V p-p input, which this c.t appears to be designed for.

London, England
Wellington Monument
This once-controversial and slightly confusing statue of Achilles was built out of captured cannons.
by Tony DunnellFollowing his victory against Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, no man in Britain was more respected or more lauded than Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Titles and lands were bestowed upon the hero, and monuments were erected in his honor and in recognition of the men who fought with him.
Shortly after Waterloo, a patriotic, upper-class society known as Ladies of England commissioned a statue of Wellington on behalf of the nation’s women. They turned to the acclaimed sculptor Richard Westmacott, who cast the statue out of 33 tonnes of bronze from enemy cannons captured in the Battles of Salamanca (1812), Vitoria (1813), Toulouse (1814) and Waterloo.
The monument was unveiled in Hyde Park on June 18, 1822. It was an 18-foot-tall statue of Achilles, modeled on a Roman figure on Monte Cavallo in Italy, with the head based on the Duke himself.
It was also completely naked (Achilles’ armor rests by his right leg), becoming London’s first public nude statue. And it was soon mired in scandal. As the author of Tour of a Foreigner in England put it at the time: “A great outcry has been raised against the undraped figure of Achilles.”
You can only imagine the reaction from the Ladies of England, who had inadvertently (or so they claimed) funded what for many was a frightfully lewd statue of a young, muscular man with his bronze bits on display for all to see in Hyde Park. With decency and decorum at stake, the sculptor was promptly asked to add a small fig leaf to his statue, so as to spare the blushes of London’s impressionable ladies. He obliged, and the controversial part was covered up.
But the statue still had plenty of critics, and their complaints were not concerned with public dignity. For them, the statue was just a bit too confused. It was Wellington but it was Achilles. It was Achilles but appeared more like Adonis. And some simply argued that the shield held aloft by the statue was far too small to be that of Achilles, or of a hoplite shield of Ancient Greece.
Perhaps a more important criticism was raised by the British caricaturist George Cruikshank, who lampooned the statue in 1822. He pointed out that Wellington was a member of the government at the time, and argued that it was inappropriate that resources, public or private, should be devoted to projects like this, especially at a time when the country was in distress and people were starving.
Know Before You Go
The Wellington Monument, also known as the Statue of Achilles, is located in the southeast corner of Hyde Park, just off Park Lane and Achilles Way in Central London. It’s near the Queen Elizabeth Gate at Hyde Park Corner.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness characterized by a person experiencing a combination of delusions and hallucinations. Because these delusions and hallucinations feel as real as the world around them, a person with untreated schizophrenia can sometimes have trouble distinguishing actual reality from this altered reality that their brain is telling them.
In spite of advances in the understanding of its causes, course, and treatment, schizophrenia continues to be a condition that has been challenging to researchers, clinicians, and those who suffer from it. It is easier for the average person to cope with the idea of cancer than it is to understand the odd behavior, hallucinations, or strange ideas of the person with this condition. People with schizophrenia suffer from some of the greatest prejudice, stigma, and discrimination associated with any mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
As with most mental disorders, the causes of schizophrenia are still pretty poorly understood. Friends and family commonly are shocked, afraid or angry when they learn of the diagnosis. People often imagine a person with psychosis as being more violent or out-of-control than a person who has another kind of serious mental illness. But these kinds of prejudices and misconceptions can usually be readily corrected.
This disorder is better understood as a mental illness that requires ongoing — most often lifetime — treatment. Demystification of the illness, along with recent insights from neuroscience and neuropsychology, gives new hope for finding more effective treatments for an illness that previously carried a grave prognosis.
Schizophrenia is characterized by a broad range of unusual behaviors that cause profound disruption in the lives of people suffering from the condition, as well as in the lives of the people around them. This condition can strike anyone without regard to gender, race, social class, or culture and is typically first diagnosed in a person’s 20s.
Symptoms of Schizophrenia
The symptoms of this condition are fairly easy to recognize, because they stand out so distinctly from a person’s usual behavior. In order for a diagnosis to be made, the person must suffer from two more of the following for at least one month:
- Delusions
- Hallucinations
- Incoherent speech or speech that quickly switches topics with little continuity
- Problems in their behavior, such as inexplicable agitation or silliness, to catatonic behavior
- Negative symptoms characterized by a lack of any emotional expression and/or a lack of purposeful activity (e.g., just sitting with no interest in going to work, school, or engaging in any activities)
Delusions are fixed beliefs that don’t change, even when the person is given evidence their beliefs are not based in reality. People can have a variety of delusions, ranging from persecutory (“people are going to harm me”) and referential (“people are sending me secret signals”) to grandiose (“I am wealthy and famous and known around the world”), erotomanic (“I know that person is in love with me”), nihilistic (“the end of the world is coming!”), and somatic (“my liver can transform any poison into a harmless substance”). Delusions may also be considered bizarre if they have no connection to reality in the same kind of culture the person was raised in.
Hallucinations, according to the American Psychiatric Association (2013), are experiencing something in one’s perception, but without the necessary external stimuli being available — like seeing something that isn’t really there. These unreal perceptions can occur in any of a person’s senses, but most often occur as auditory hallucinations.

filmcritic.com presents a review from staff member Jeremiah Kipp. You can find the review with full credits at http://filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/60e74e041ca9cd6b8625626f0062219f/2d0168c1c1ad76b588256949000fbb3f?OpenDocument
NOT ONE LESS A film review by Jeremiah Kipp Copyright 2000 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
In a small, poverty-stricken Chinese village in the high plains, a substitute teacher (thirteen year old Wei Minzhi) is placed in charge of a class of younger, unruly peasant children for one month. She's in over her head, since she only knows how to sing half of a song and copy lessons left by old Teacher Gao, who instructed her on how to conserve chalk by writing big enough for the children to see, but not too big as to waste it. Considering the state of the crumbling stone hut which functions as a schoolhouse and the lack of books and reading materials, chalk is a precious commodity to be prized and respected.
More importantly, Gao implores her to keep watch over the children and not let them run away from school to go work in the nearby city. He wants every student to still be there when he returns. "Not one less," he instructs, quietly, and agrees to pay her a little extra out of his own pocket if need be. Most deals among adults and children are negotiated in such a way, and even the classroom children understand and value the power of currency. Such is the life of rags and poverty.
Wei is not a particularly good teacher, neither patient nor readily outspoken. She mostly leaves the kids to their own devices. Free rein is given to the mischievous, ever grinning class clown (Zhang Huike,) who would be a holy terror were it not for that adorable, toothy smile and a barely detectable sense of decency underneath the relentless prankster.
It's a battle of wills between Teacher Wei and Student Zhang, who actually drives her into action and forces her to take some small touch of effort and responsibility in the dynamics of class control. However, after a particularly striking confrontation over another child's diary, the little Zhang runs away to make a living sweating in cheap restaurants and laundromats in the city. Teacher Wei has to make good on her promise to Teacher Gao, following this boy not much younger than she into a strange city, trying to bring him home. Of course, first she has to get enough money for bus fare in a poor village, and proceeds to extorting the kids. "Who has money? Put it on the desk!" she says. The kids, wise to her, say they don't have any, even if they do.
In a recent interview, director Zhang Yimou remarked that in his research for this project, he kept encountering children who had no access to education, without schoolbooks or teachers with drive or experience. While not based on a true story, though it seems it could be, he cast nonprofessional actors who live in such a village.
All the children and some of the adults (the crooked mayor, the old schoolteacher, the city townspeople) use their real names. This makes the film feel like a documentary. Zhang Yimou shot it in such a way (with the cameras kept hidden and unobtrusive) to allow these untrained performers room to simply behave naturally. It's a wonderful conceit.
A poem of the rituals of these lives with a keen understanding of the social and political forces at work, the film and characters received instant empathy from international audiences. Teacher Wei and the charismatic Student Zhang may not be perfect - they are kids after all, with all the good and bad which that implies - but they are genuinely likeable, even lovable. They're in a situation that you'd have to have a heart of stone not to care about.
Though it never teeters into sentimentality, Not One Less inspires genuine tears and laughter. It serves as a reminder of how much blind, stubborn courage and resolve can possibly accomplish. It doesn't play out as phony as the documentary eye keeps the events truthful and genuine. It manages to make the audience think and feel very much without playing out as an easy crowd pleaser. It's a great film, one which set the year of movies in 2000 off to a powerful start.

Cult-favourite studio software Reaper gets major update
Version 6 of the customisable DAW is out now for $60.
by Mark SmithReaper 6 is out now.
The latest version of the Cockos-developed DAW introduces new upgrades to a package already renowned for its extensive and customisable feature set.
MIDI CC envelopes can now send curved messages to your hardware or software devices, meaning you get smooth, continuous parameter changes instead of discrete events. A new time-stretching algorithm, a graphic patchbay for advanced routing, embedded plug-in displays and improved performance in large projects are among the other improvements. Find out more details on the Reaper website.
Reaper 6 is only $60, which is considerably cheaper than more popular DAWs. The cost includes free updates until version 7.99. A full-featured 60 day demo is also available.

(Appendix 20)
The FBB software allows the connection of a telephone modem on a serial port. This section is split into these parts: Driver Type of modem Protocol Wiring for external modem Usage Example of PORT.SYS for DosFBB Example of PORT.SYS for WinFBB Example of PORT.SYS for LinFBB Example of INITTNCx.SYS for modem Example of FORWARD.SYS Driver: The modem must be declared in PORT.SYS. In WinFBB the necessary driver is in FBBCOMM.DRV. This driver replaces the original COMM.DRV supplied by WIndows. In DosFBB it is necessary to use the FBBIOS.COM program. This driver performs BBS to Modem interfacing. It is therefore necessary to load FBBIOS prior to BBS start up. A line FBBIOS will be added ahead of APPEL.BAT file. See below an example of the APPEL.BAT file. Of course, the FBBIOS used will have to match the serial port on which the modem is to be connected (address and IRQ). In LinFBB it is necessary to compile the Linux Kernel with SLIP (serial line). The modem-driver will modify the RS232 speed according to the CONNECT info received from the modem : CONNECT 1200 set the driver to 1200 Baud. CONNECT 2400 set the driver to 2400 Baud. The driver is reset to the default speed rate (specified in PORT.SYS) at disconnect. At connect, the text ; "xxxx BBS. Phone Access" is sent by default. This can be modified by creating a file MODEM.ENT in the SYSTEM directory. You can specify in the PORT.SYS file that you accept connections, even if the user is not registered. In this case, the connection will be "read-only", the user has only a read only-access, he cannot download files or write messages, except to the sysop. When a non-registered user is connected, he will be signified that he only has a "read only access", and will be prompted to go on. If he answers "Y", he will go to the BBS menu, else he will be asked again for a callsign. Type of modem: Various experiments have been carried out with several different kinds of (external, or internal cards) modems. If possible, modems at 14.400 or better 28.800 bps should be used; the modem speed is to be declared in PORT.SYS. Some modems can work different speeds, with an internal speed conversion between the modem and the computer. For example, the modem can transmit and receive on the telephone line at 14400 bps and talk to the PC at 19200 bps. If the modem uses the HAYES protocol, the INITTNCx.SYS file must hold the correct HAYES init lines for the modem. Protocol: The configuration used is 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 0 parity, 1 stop bit, that is to say 10 bits words during the transmission. The Minitel standard is not supported (7 bits, even parity). The software being parametered by default in 8 bits, it was not possible to modify this protocol, as the binary file transfers are carried out on 8 bits. NB.: FBBIOS/FBBCOMM.DRV handles XON/XOFF protocol during the transmissions. Wiring for external modems: The modem must be able to tell the BBS that a call has been detected with the remote modem carrier detection. This is the reason why all the RS232 signals are used by the BBS. The RS232 cable has to be wired up pin to pin with no inversion: pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, and 22 of the DB25 connector. Usage: BBS users are not authorized to connect the BBS through a modem as per the default settings. The SysOp must declare the modem users. To do it, perform a user edition (EU call) and put M (for Modem) then W pass_word. A password made of the three last letters of the callsign can be attributed for the first connect. Then the user will be able to change it through the NP command. The authorized callsigns can be listed by the DM command. When a modem call occurs, once the modulations have been detected, the modem advises the BBS that a connection is effective on the telephone line. Then the BBS asks for the caller's call sign and password. The user is granted three tries before being disconnected. If everything is all right, the user can access the same commands like connected on a radio channel, he will have to disconnect using the B command. The log file is maintained for the connections through the modem channel. Keep in mind to add a line in the LOGFBB.CNF file for the modem calls to be processed in the stats analysis by LOGSTAT. For WinFBB: FBBCOMM.DRV is already installed when Windows is started. So there is no more driver to install for the modem. For LinFBB: Make sure you have compiled the Linux kernel with SLIP (serial line), or if you compiled SLIP as module you must load this. For DosFBB: Example of APPEL.BAT with FBBIOS for a modem connected to COM3/IRQ4 : echo off break off echo Press ^C to interrupt ! sleep 3 fbbios 3 03E8 4 serv %1 etc........ Example of PORT.SYS file with 3 serial port used: COM1 for a TNC, COM2 for a TNC, COM3 for the modem.

CUBE (M). (Dendy Films) Director: Vincenzo Natali Stars: Maurice Dean Wint, Nicole de Boer, Nicky Guadagni, David Hewlett, Andrew Miller, Wayne Robson Running time: 92 minutes.
Ever since he first picked up a video camera and started making his own short films at the tender age of eleven, Canadian writer/director Vincenzo Natali has been intrigued with macabre fantasy worlds and the darker side of human nature. These same elements shape his strikingly original debut feature film, the visually stunning and imaginative sci-fi thriller Cube.
Six strangers wake up inside a surreal chamber. It is part of a labyrinthine system of interlocked chambers and passage ways. But some of the rooms are booby trapped.
Quentin (Maurice Dean Wint) is a street wise cop, who brings with him all the fears, prejudices and suspicions that have become ingrained over the years. Leaven (Nicole de Boer, a regular guest star on tv) is a mathematics student who deciphers the code that guards each portal. Holloway (Nicky Guadagni, from Crash, etc) is a doctor whose intuitive insights into her fellow hostages unlocks their potential. Worth (David Hewlett, from The Boys Of St Vincent) is an architect who suffers from low self esteem and a sense of guilt, knowing that he unwittingly contributed to the construction of this insidious structure. Rennes (veteran actor Wayne Robson) is an escaped convict whose knowledge is instrumental in helping them navigate the intricate series of interlocked chambers. The autistic Kazan (Andrew Miller) is initially seen as a danger to the other prisoners, until his hidden abilities come in useful.
These six very different people have to work together as a group in order to survive. But, inevitably, personality conflicts and self interest surface, adding to the air of tension that already exists. Cube is a story about survival and human nature. It cleverly forces the audience to ponder the question of how they would react if placed in a similar situation, in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment with total strangers.
In Cube, Natali (a former story board artist on films like Johnny Mnemonic, etc) and his collaborators deftly tap into our own nascent paranoia. We don't learn who built this formidable structure - was it the shadowy military/industrial complex, or is it grotesque joke from some alien intelligence? We don't learn its purpose, and the lack of logic is somehow even more frightening. Nor do we learn why these six people were chosen to run the gauntlet of this lethal labyrinth, or indeed, if other people have fallen foul of its booby trapped chambers. It is these unanswered questions that contribute to the film's menacing air.
Natali suffuses the film with an uneasy, claustrophobic atmosphere. The opening sequence itself is certainly quite impressive and grabs the audience's attention. The set design and visual style of Cube is impressive, and belie its low budget origins. This ambitious film goes far beyond anything achieved by the fecund imagination behind the recent Dark City, which inevitably disappointed with its contrived and conventional ending.

Compression scheduler
In iterative pruning, we create some kind of pruning regimen that specifies how to prune, and what to prune at every stage of the pruning and training stages. This motivated the design of CompressionScheduler
: it needed to be part of the training loop, and to be able to make and implement pruning, regularization and (later) quantization decisions. We wanted to be able to change the particulars of the compression schedule, w/o touching the code, and settled on using YAML as a container for this specification. We found that when we make many experiments on the same code base, it is easier to maintain all of these experiments if we decouple the differences from the code-base. Therefore, we added to the scheduler support for learning-rate decay scheduling because, again, we wanted the freedom to change the LR-decay policy without changing code.
High level overview
Let's briefly discuss the main mechanisms and abstractions: A schedule specification is composed of a list of sections defining instances of Pruners, Regularizers, LR-scheduler and Policies.
- Pruners and Regularizers are very similar: they implement either a Pruning algorithm or a Regularization algorithm.
- An LR-scheduler specifies the LR-decay algorithm.
These define the what part of the schedule.
The Policies define the when part of the schedule: at which epoch to start applying the Pruner/Regularizer/LR-decay, the epoch to end, and how often to invoke the policy (frequency of application). A policy also defines the instance of Pruner/Regularizer/LR-decay it is managing.
The CompressionScheduler is configured from a YAML file or from a dictionary, but you can also manually create Policies, Pruners and Regularizers from code.
Syntax through example
We'll use alexnet.schedule_agp.yaml
to explain some of the YAML syntax for configuring Sensitivity Pruning of Alexnet.
version: 1
pruners:
my_pruner:
class: 'SensitivityPruner'
sensitivities:
'features.module.0.weight': 0.25
'features.module.3.weight': 0.35
'features.module.6.weight': 0.40
'features.module.8.weight': 0.45
'features.module.10.weight': 0.55
'classifier.1.weight': 0.875
'classifier.4.weight': 0.875
'classifier.6.weight': 0.625
lr_schedulers:
pruning_lr:
class: ExponentialLR
gamma: 0.9
policies:
- pruner:
instance_name : 'my_pruner'
starting_epoch: 0
ending_epoch: 38
frequency: 2
- lr_scheduler:
instance_name: pruning_lr
starting_epoch: 24
ending_epoch: 200
frequency: 1
There is only one version of the YAML syntax, and the version number is not verified at the moment. However, to be future-proof it is probably better to let the YAML parser know that you are using version-1 syntax, in case there is ever a version 2.
version: 1
In the pruners
section, we define the instances of pruners we want the scheduler to instantiate and use.
We define a single pruner instance, named my_pruner
of algorithm SensitivityPruner
. We will refer to this instance in the Policies
section.
Then we list the sensitivity multipliers, \(s\), of each of the weight tensors.
You may list as many Pruners as you want in this section, as long as each has a unique name. You can several types of pruners in one schedule.
pruners:
my_pruner:
class: 'SensitivityPruner'
sensitivities:
'features.module.0.weight': 0.25
'features.module.3.weight': 0.35
'features.module.6.weight': 0.40
'features.module.8.weight': 0.45
'features.module.10.weight': 0.55
'classifier.1.weight': 0.875
'classifier.4.weight': 0.875
'classifier.6.weight': 0.6
Next, we want to specify the learning-rate decay scheduling in the lr_schedulers
section. We assign a name to this instance: pruning_lr
. As in the pruners
section, you may use any name, as long as all LR-schedulers have a unique name. At the moment, only one instance of LR-scheduler is allowed. You can use any LR-scheduler class that torch.optim.lr_scheduler
supports and pass their arguments. The keyword arguments (kwargs) are passed directly to the constructor of the subclasses of _LRScheduler, so that as new LR-schedulers are added to torch.optim.lr_scheduler
, they can be used without changing the application code.
lr_schedulers:
pruning_lr:
class: ExponentialLR
gamma: 0.9
Finally, we define the policies
section which defines the actual scheduling. A Policy
manages an instance of a Pruner
, Regularizer
, or LRSchedule
, by naming the instance. In the example below, a PruningPolicy
uses the pruner instance named my_pruner
: it activates it at a frequency of 2 epochs (i.e. every other epoch), starting at epoch 0, and ending at epoch 38.
policies:
- pruner:
instance_name : 'my_pruner'
starting_epoch: 0
ending_epoch: 38
frequency: 2
- lr_scheduler:
instance_name: pruning_lr
starting_epoch: 24
ending_epoch: 200
frequency: 1
This is iterative pruning:
-
Train Connectivity
-
Prune Connections
-
Retrain Weights
-
Goto 2
It is described in Learning both Weights and Connections for Efficient Neural Networks:
"Our method prunes redundant connections using a three-step method. First, we train the network to learn which connections are important. Next, we prune the unimportant connections. Finally, we retrain the network to fine tune the weights of the remaining connections...After an initial training phase, we remove all connections whose weight is lower than a threshold. This pruning converts a dense, fully-connected layer to a sparse layer. This first phase learns the topology of the networks — learning which connections are important and removing the unimportant connections. We then retrain the sparse network so the remaining connections can compensate for the connections that have been removed. The phases of pruning and retraining may be repeated iteratively to further reduce network complexity."
Regularization
You can also define and schedule regularization.
L1 regularization
Format (this is an informal specification, not a valid ABNF specification):
regularizers:
<REGULARIZER_NAME_STR>:
class: L1Regularizer
reg_regims:
<PYTORCH_PARAM_NAME_STR>: <STRENGTH_FLOAT>
...
<PYTORCH_PARAM_NAME_STR>: <STRENGTH_FLOAT>
threshold_criteria: [Mean_Abs | Max]
For example:
version: 1
regularizers:
my_L1_reg:
class: L1Regularizer
reg_regims:
'module.layer3.1.conv1.weight': 0.000002
'module.layer3.1.conv2.weight': 0.000002
'module.layer3.1.conv3.weight': 0.000002
'module.layer3.2.conv1.weight': 0.000002
threshold_criteria: Mean_Abs
policies:
- regularizer:
instance_name: my_L1_reg
starting_epoch: 0
ending_epoch: 60
frequency: 1
Group regularization
Format (informal specification):
Format:
regularizers:
<REGULARIZER_NAME_STR>:
class: L1Regularizer
reg_regims:
<PYTORCH_PARAM_NAME_STR>: [<STRENGTH_FLOAT>, <'2D' | '3D' | '4D' | 'Channels' | 'Cols' | 'Rows'>]
<PYTORCH_PARAM_NAME_STR>: [<STRENGTH_FLOAT>, <'2D' | '3D' | '4D' | 'Channels' | 'Cols' | 'Rows'>]
threshold_criteria: [Mean_Abs | Max]
For example:
version: 1
regularizers:
my_filter_regularizer:
class: GroupLassoRegularizer
reg_regims:
'module.layer3.1.conv1.weight': [0.00005, '3D']
'module.layer3.1.conv2.weight': [0.00005, '3D']
'module.layer3.1.conv3.weight': [0.00005, '3D']
'module.layer3.2.conv1.weight': [0.00005, '3D']
threshold_criteria: Mean_Abs
policies:
- regularizer:
instance_name: my_filter_regularizer
starting_epoch: 0
ending_epoch: 60
frequency: 1

mining in a pool =
* adding "centralization" (e.g. - in Bitcoin, because people mine more often in larger pools 1 company can easily hit 51%)
* gives income away for no reason other than convenience
* adds additional trust to a trustless system

if you verify and do the coinex mining
its over 3 months
you will get 1 million cet if you leave it open doing their "trading mining"
1 million cet based on todays volume will net you .3 bch dividend per day
from the daily dividend payouts
you make 500 cet "mining" per hour
cet is 12 cents a coin
They buy it back at the end of the month with the 20% they dont distribute back to holders and burn it
This is literally "FREE MONEY"
they are giving away 3.6b of the coins over the next 3 months to verified accounts

When you declare a variable outside of any function, it is called a global variable, because it is available to any other code in the current document. When you declare a variable within a function, it is called a local variable, because it is available only within that function.
JavaScript before ECMAScript 2015 does not have block statement scope; rather, a variable declared within a block is local to the function (or global scope) that the block resides within. For example the following code will log 5, because the scope of x is the function (or global context) within which x is declared, not the block, which in this case is an if statement.
if (x = y) { /* statements here */ }

A wholly owned subsidiary of LiveRight, we are the nation's largest bank for SMB owners and cooperative societies, with more than 4500 branches spread across the nation, servicing more than 5 million customers and continuing to grow. We offer a number of lending products to our customers including checking and savings accounts, lending, credit cards, deposits, insurance, IRA and more. Started in 1787 as a family owned business providing low interest loans for farmers struggling with poor harvests, LiveRight helped these farmers design long distance water channels from lakes in neighboring districts to their lands. The initial success helped these farmers invest their wealth in LiveRight and later led to our cooperative range of products that allowed farmers to own a part of LiveRight. In 1850 we moved our HeadQuarters to New York city to help build the economy of our nation by providing low interest lending products to small to medium business owners looking to start or expand their business. From 2 branches then to 4500 branches today, the trust of our customers helped us grow to become the nation's largest SMB bank.

| PostgreSQL 9.0.10 Documentation | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prev | Up | Chapter 8. Data Types | Next |
PostgreSQL allows columns of a table to be defined as variable-length multidimensional arrays. Arrays of any built-in or user-defined base type, enum type, or composite type can be created. Arrays of domains are not yet supported.
To illustrate the use of array types, we create this table:
CREATE TABLE sal_emp ( name text, pay_by_quarter integer[], schedule text[][] );
As shown, an array data type is named by appending square brackets ([]) to the data type name of the array elements. The above command will create a table named sal_emp with a column of type text (name), a one-dimensional array of type integer (pay_by_quarter), which represents the employee's salary by quarter, and a two-dimensional array of text (schedule), which represents the employee's weekly schedule.
The syntax for CREATE TABLE allows the exact size of arrays to be specified, for example:
CREATE TABLE tictactoe ( squares integer[3][3] );
However, the current implementation ignores any supplied array size limits, i.e., the behavior is the same as for arrays of unspecified length.
The current implementation does not enforce the declared number of dimensions either. Arrays of a particular element type are all considered to be of the same type, regardless of size or number of dimensions. So, declaring the array size or number of dimensions in CREATE TABLE is simply documentation; it does not affect run-time behavior.
An alternative syntax, which conforms to the SQL standard by using the keyword ARRAY, can be used for one-dimensional arrays. pay_by_quarter could have been defined as:
pay_by_quarter integer ARRAY[4],
Or, if no array size is to be specified:
pay_by_quarter integer ARRAY,
As before, however, PostgreSQL does not enforce the size restriction in any case.
To write an array value as a literal constant, enclose the element values within curly braces and separate them by commas. (If you know C, this is not unlike the C syntax for initializing structures.) You can put double quotes around any element value, and must do so if it contains commas or curly braces. (More details appear below.) Thus, the general format of an array constant is the following:
'{ val1 delim val2 delim ... }'
where delim is the delimiter character for the type, as recorded in its pg_type entry. Among the standard data types provided in the PostgreSQL distribution, all use a comma (,), except for type box which uses a semicolon (;). Each val is either a constant of the array element type, or a subarray. An example of an array constant is:
'{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}'
This constant is a two-dimensional, 3-by-3 array consisting of three subarrays of integers.
To set an element of an array constant to NULL, write NULL for the element value. (Any upper- or lower-case variant of NULL will do.) If you want an actual string value "NULL", you must put double quotes around it.
(These kinds of array constants are actually only a special case of the generic type constants discussed in Section <IP_ADDRESS>. The constant is initially treated as a string and passed to the array input conversion routine. An explicit type specification might be necessary.)
Now we can show some INSERT statements:
INSERT INTO sal_emp VALUES ('Bill', '{10000, 10000, 10000, 10000}', '{{"meeting", "lunch"}, {"training", "presentation"}}'); INSERT INTO sal_emp VALUES ('Carol', '{20000, 25000, 25000, 25000}', '{{"breakfast", "consulting"}, {"meeting", "lunch"}}');
The result of the previous two inserts looks like this:
SELECT * FROM sal_emp; name | pay_by_quarter | schedule -------+---------------------------+------------------------------------------- Bill | {10000,10000,10000,10000} | {{meeting,lunch},{training,presentation}} Carol | {20000,25000,25000,25000} | {{breakfast,consulting},{meeting,lunch}} (2 rows)
Multidimensional arrays must have matching extents for each dimension. A mismatch causes an error, for example:
INSERT INTO sal_emp VALUES ('Bill', '{10000, 10000, 10000, 10000}', '{{"meeting", "lunch"}, {"meeting"}}'); ERROR: multidimensional arrays must have array expressions with matching dimensions
The ARRAY constructor syntax can also be used:
INSERT INTO sal_emp VALUES ('Bill', ARRAY[10000, 10000, 10000, 10000], ARRAY[['meeting', 'lunch'], ['training', 'presentation']]); INSERT INTO sal_emp VALUES ('Carol', ARRAY[20000, 25000, 25000, 25000], ARRAY[['breakfast', 'consulting'], ['meeting', 'lunch']]);
Notice that the array elements are ordinary SQL constants or expressions; for instance, string literals are single quoted, instead of double quoted as they would be in an array literal. The ARRAY constructor syntax is discussed in more detail in Section 4.2.11.
Now, we can run some queries on the table. First, we show how to access a single element of an array. This query retrieves the names of the employees whose pay changed in the second quarter:
SELECT name FROM sal_emp WHERE pay_by_quarter[1] <> pay_by_quarter[2]; name ------- Carol (1 row)
The array subscript numbers are written within square brackets. By default PostgreSQL uses a one-based numbering convention for arrays, that is, an array of n elements starts with array[1] and ends with array[n].
This query retrieves the third quarter pay of all employees:
SELECT pay_by_quarter[3] FROM sal_emp; pay_by_quarter ---------------- 10000 25000 (2 rows)
We can also access arbitrary rectangular slices of an array, or subarrays. An array slice is denoted by writing lower-bound:upper-bound for one or more array dimensions. For example, this query retrieves the first item on Bill's schedule for the first two days of the week:
SELECT schedule[1:2][1:1] FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Bill'; schedule ------------------------ {{meeting},{training}} (1 row)
If any dimension is written as a slice, i.e., contains a colon, then all dimensions are treated as slices. Any dimension that has only a single number (no colon) is treated as being from 1 to the number specified. For example, [2] is treated as [1:2], as in this example:
SELECT schedule[1:2][2] FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Bill'; schedule ------------------------------------------- {{meeting,lunch},{training,presentation}} (1 row)
To avoid confusion with the non-slice case, it's best to use slice syntax for all dimensions, e.g., [1:2][1:1], not [2][1:1].
An array subscript expression will return null if either the array itself or any of the subscript expressions are null. Also, null is returned if a subscript is outside the array bounds (this case does not raise an error). For example, if schedule currently has the dimensions [1:3][1:2] then referencing schedule[3][3] yields NULL. Similarly, an array reference with the wrong number of subscripts yields a null rather than an error.
An array slice expression likewise yields null if the array itself or any of the subscript expressions are null. However, in other cases such as selecting an array slice that is completely outside the current array bounds, a slice expression yields an empty (zero-dimensional) array instead of null. (This does not match non-slice behavior and is done for historical reasons.) If the requested slice partially overlaps the array bounds, then it is silently reduced to just the overlapping region instead of returning null.
The current dimensions of any array value can be retrieved with the
array_dims
function:
SELECT array_dims(schedule) FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Carol'; array_dims ------------ [1:2][1:2] (1 row)
array_dims
produces a text result,
which is convenient for people to read but perhaps inconvenient
for programs. Dimensions can also be retrieved with
array_upper
and array_lower
,
which return the upper and lower bound of a
specified array dimension, respectively:
SELECT array_upper(schedule, 1) FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Carol'; array_upper ------------- 2 (1 row)
array_length
will return the length of a specified
array dimension:
SELECT array_length(schedule, 1) FROM sal_emp WHERE name = 'Carol'; array_length -------------- 2 (1 row)
An array value can be replaced completely:
UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter = '{25000,25000,27000,27000}' WHERE name = 'Carol';
or using the ARRAY expression syntax:
UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter = ARRAY[25000,25000,27000,27000] WHERE name = 'Carol';
An array can also be updated at a single element:
UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter[4] = 15000 WHERE name = 'Bill';
or updated in a slice:
UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter[1:2] = '{27000,27000}' WHERE name = 'Carol';
A stored array value can be enlarged by assigning to elements not already present. Any positions between those previously present and the newly assigned elements will be filled with nulls. For example, if array myarray currently has 4 elements, it will have six elements after an update that assigns to myarray[6]; myarray[5] will contain null. Currently, enlargement in this fashion is only allowed for one-dimensional arrays, not multidimensional arrays.
Subscripted assignment allows creation of arrays that do not use one-based subscripts. For example one might assign to myarray[-2:7] to create an array with subscript values from -2 to 7.
New array values can also be constructed using the concatenation operator, ||:
SELECT ARRAY[1,2] || ARRAY[3,4]; ?column? ----------- {1,2,3,4} (1 row) SELECT ARRAY[5,6] || ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4]]; ?column? --------------------- {{5,6},{1,2},{3,4}} (1 row)
The concatenation operator allows a single element to be pushed onto the beginning or end of a one-dimensional array. It also accepts two N-dimensional arrays, or an N-dimensional and an N+1-dimensional array.
When a single element is pushed onto either the beginning or end of a one-dimensional array, the result is an array with the same lower bound subscript as the array operand. For example:
SELECT array_dims(1 || '[0:1]={2,3}'::int[]); array_dims ------------ [0:2] (1 row) SELECT array_dims(ARRAY[1,2] || 3); array_dims ------------ [1:3] (1 row)
When two arrays with an equal number of dimensions are concatenated, the result retains the lower bound subscript of the left-hand operand's outer dimension. The result is an array comprising every element of the left-hand operand followed by every element of the right-hand operand. For example:
SELECT array_dims(ARRAY[1,2] || ARRAY[3,4,5]); array_dims ------------ [1:5] (1 row) SELECT array_dims(ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4]] || ARRAY[[5,6],[7,8],[9,0]]); array_dims ------------ [1:5][1:2] (1 row)
When an N-dimensional array is pushed onto the beginning or end of an N+1-dimensional array, the result is analogous to the element-array case above. Each N-dimensional sub-array is essentially an element of the N+1-dimensional array's outer dimension. For example:
SELECT array_dims(ARRAY[1,2] || ARRAY[[3,4],[5,6]]); array_dims ------------ [1:3][1:2] (1 row)
An array can also be constructed by using the functions
array_prepend
, array_append
,
or array_cat
. The first two only support one-dimensional
arrays, but array_cat
supports multidimensional arrays.
Note that the concatenation operator discussed above is preferred over
direct use of these functions. In fact, these functions primarily exist for use
in implementing the concatenation operator. However, they might be directly
useful in the creation of user-defined aggregates. Some examples:
SELECT array_prepend(1, ARRAY[2,3]); array_prepend --------------- {1,2,3} (1 row) SELECT array_append(ARRAY[1,2], 3); array_append -------------- {1,2,3} (1 row) SELECT array_cat(ARRAY[1,2], ARRAY[3,4]); array_cat ----------- {1,2,3,4} (1 row) SELECT array_cat(ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4]], ARRAY[5,6]); array_cat --------------------- {{1,2},{3,4},{5,6}} (1 row) SELECT array_cat(ARRAY[5,6], ARRAY[[1,2],[3,4]]); array_cat --------------------- {{5,6},{1,2},{3,4}}
To search for a value in an array, each value must be checked. This can be done manually, if you know the size of the array. For example:
SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE pay_by_quarter[1] = 10000 OR pay_by_quarter[2] = 10000 OR pay_by_quarter[3] = 10000 OR pay_by_quarter[4] = 10000;
However, this quickly becomes tedious for large arrays, and is not helpful if the size of the array is unknown. An alternative method is described in Section 9.21. The above query could be replaced by:
SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE 10000 = ANY (pay_by_quarter);
In addition, you can find rows where the array has all values equal to 10000 with:
SELECT * FROM sal_emp WHERE 10000 = ALL (pay_by_quarter);
Alternatively, the generate_subscripts
function can be used.
For example:
SELECT * FROM (SELECT pay_by_quarter, generate_subscripts(pay_by_quarter, 1) AS s FROM sal_emp) AS foo WHERE pay_by_quarter[s] = 10000;
This function is described in Table 9-46.
Tip: Arrays are not sets; searching for specific array elements can be a sign of database misdesign. Consider using a separate table with a row for each item that would be an array element. This will be easier to search, and is likely to scale better for a large number of elements.
The external text representation of an array value consists of items that are interpreted according to the I/O conversion rules for the array's element type, plus decoration that indicates the array structure. The decoration consists of curly braces ({ and }) around the array value plus delimiter characters between adjacent items. The delimiter character is usually a comma (,) but can be something else: it is determined by the typdelim setting for the array's element type. Among the standard data types provided in the PostgreSQL distribution, all use a comma, except for type box, which uses a semicolon (;). In a multidimensional array, each dimension (row, plane, cube, etc.) gets its own level of curly braces, and delimiters must be written between adjacent curly-braced entities of the same level.
The array output routine will put double quotes around element values if they are empty strings, contain curly braces, delimiter characters, double quotes, backslashes, or white space, or match the word NULL. Double quotes and backslashes embedded in element values will be backslash-escaped. For numeric data types it is safe to assume that double quotes will never appear, but for textual data types one should be prepared to cope with either the presence or absence of quotes.
By default, the lower bound index value of an array's dimensions is set to one. To represent arrays with other lower bounds, the array subscript ranges can be specified explicitly before writing the array contents. This decoration consists of square brackets ([]) around each array dimension's lower and upper bounds, with a colon (:) delimiter character in between. The array dimension decoration is followed by an equal sign (=). For example:
SELECT f1[1][-2][3] AS e1, f1[1][-1][5] AS e2 FROM (SELECT '[1:1][-2:-1][3:5]={{{1,2,3},{4,5,6}}}'::int[] AS f1) AS ss; e1 | e2 ----+---- 1 | 6 (1 row)
The array output routine will include explicit dimensions in its result only when there are one or more lower bounds different from one.
If the value written for an element is NULL (in any case variant), the element is taken to be NULL. The presence of any quotes or backslashes disables this and allows the literal string value "NULL" to be entered. Also, for backwards compatibility with pre-8.2 versions of PostgreSQL, the array_nulls configuration parameter can be turned off to suppress recognition of NULL as a NULL.
As shown previously, when writing an array value you can use double quotes around any individual array element. You must do so if the element value would otherwise confuse the array-value parser. For example, elements containing curly braces, commas (or the data type's delimiter character), double quotes, backslashes, or leading or trailing whitespace must be double-quoted. Empty strings and strings matching the word NULL must be quoted, too. To put a double quote or backslash in a quoted array element value, use escape string syntax and precede it with a backslash. Alternatively, you can avoid quotes and use backslash-escaping to protect all data characters that would otherwise be taken as array syntax.
You can add whitespace before a left brace or after a right brace. You can also add whitespace before or after any individual item string. In all of these cases the whitespace will be ignored. However, whitespace within double-quoted elements, or surrounded on both sides by non-whitespace characters of an element, is not ignored.
Note: Remember that what you write in an SQL command will first be interpreted as a string literal, and then as an array. This doubles the number of backslashes you need. For example, to insert a text array value containing a backslash and a double quote, you'd need to write:
INSERT ... VALUES (E'{"\\\\","\\""}');The escape string processor removes one level of backslashes, so that what arrives at the array-value parser looks like {"\\","\""}. In turn, the strings fed to the text data type's input routine become \ and " respectively. (If we were working with a data type whose input routine also treated backslashes specially, bytea for example, we might need as many as eight backslashes in the command to get one backslash into the stored array element.) Dollar quoting (see Section <IP_ADDRESS>) can be used to avoid the need to double backslashes.
Tip: The ARRAY constructor syntax (see Section 4.2.11) is often easier to work with than the array-literal syntax when writing array values in SQL commands. In ARRAY, individual element values are written the same way they would be written when not members of an array.

Model based test automation - test cases
The test cases define the test scenarios. They should be written in the domain language of the target application. The way of writing test cases can be anything between using a gherkin language (like cucumber) to use plain programmatic functions. Using a custom DSL language is an option as well (see for example MPS). Even if one uses plain functions it is important to pay attention to the code readability. See the following example from the Selenium Getting Started in Java.

Model based test automation - principles
The topic of test automation frameworks is huge. All of its aspects are worth many pages of conversation. Below I tried to collect the general principles I find useful and desired to almost any (model based) test automation framework regardless of the specific details of them.
One source of the historical overview of test automation frameworks is this paper from John Kent. It does worth reading to see how we’ve got to the model-based automation.

How to set AutomationId for TreeViewItems in WPF
Recently I started to implement UI tests for a WPF application with White. I’m entirely new to WPF, so it wasn’t obvious to me how can I set the AutomationId of a TreeViewItem which is generated during runtime based on the contained object’s property. Here’s the solution:


Courses
Codecademy
I started to learn on Codecademy. I first followed the web developer path and completed "Introduction to HTML", "Learn CSS", "Introduction to Javascript" and "Bootstrap". When I started computer science studies, I completed "Learn Java". I also did 80% of "Learn Python 3". Next I will finish the web developer path.
Team Treehouse
To get deeper into Java I completed "Beginning Java" with the very basics. And I took half of "Intermediate Java" with Unit testing, Regular Expressions, etc.
freeCodeCamp
On freeCodeCamp I went quickly through HTML and CSS.
IUBH Fernstudium - Bachelor of Computer Science
During my first semester I chose:
- "Basics of object-oriented programming with Java"
- "Data structures and Java class libraries"
- "Programming of web app interfaces"
- "Programming of industrial information systems with Java EE"
- "Basics of industrial Software technology"
... to be continued!
Projects
Portfolio Page
My best and longest project is this portfolio page, which I finish unguided, beside some youtube videos on the special effects. I searched for some special movement for the middle of the main page. Later I combined it with the nav bar on the other pages. I found parallax effects really fascinating, but the one I use now was special. It is simple and clean.
Technical documentation page
This is a freeCodeCamp project again. I build this page horizontally scrolling. The difficulty was, that I wanted "smooth scrolling" and horizontal scrolling via Javascript with the mousewheel. For responsiveness I build my first hamburger menu bar.
>>> array methods in JavaScript <<<Product landing page
For the freeCodeCamp project "Landing page" I created a landing page for holidays with dogs in our holiday apartments.
>>> 4-paws on holiday <<<The chore door
It's a project for Codecademy with Javascript.


The URL of the template I used to create this website is https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/freelancer
The template I used for my webpage had a great layout so I didnt have to move anything around I kept it in the order it came. I also chose to keep the contact me section as I believe it looks well on the webpage. I used also the linking to external websites to help create this page and link it to the main webpage and also the other way around.
What I changed within the webpage was firstly alot of the images used I changed and put in my own ones which I feel look better and reflect what I'm doing with the different sections of the page better. I also inserted alot more text into the webpage writing alot about myself. In the cv and project section I included a button so the user can download my cv and project if they wish. I linked up all my social media to the site. My CV includes all exam results also. I also changed that when you clicked links on the page they open up a new tab rather than change on the same tab. I change the different links to other pages to one I needed my page to link to. I also created a section for my jobs and created a navagation link for it also at the header of the website. I also brought in a carousel into the about me section with images of my hobbies and interests.
The new URL of where my website is hosted now is jamescumberton.github.io


Protocols
The following protocols are available globally.
-
Undocumented
See moreDeclaration
Swift
public protocol CoCancellable : AnyObject
-
A protocol that defines how to execute a task.
This protocol has extension methods that allow to launch coroutines on a current scheduler. Inside the coroutine you can use such methods as
Coroutine.await(_:)
,CoFuture.await()
, andCoroutineScheduler.await(_:)
to suspend the coroutine without blocking a thread and resume it when the result is ready.To launch a coroutine, use
CoroutineScheduler.startCoroutine(_:)
.//execute coroutine on the main thread DispatchQueue.main.startCoroutine { //extension that returns CoFuture<(data: Data, response: URLResponse)> let dataFuture = URLSession.shared.dataTaskFuture(for: url) //await result that suspends coroutine and doesn't block the thread let data = try dataFuture.await().data }
The framework includes the implementation of this protocol for
DispatchQueue
and you can easily make the same for other schedulers as well.
See moreextension OperationQueue: CoroutineScheduler { public func scheduleTask(_ task: @escaping () -> Void) { addOperation(task) } }

Conscientious, detail-oriented, inquisitive, team player, patient, imperturbable
Working by the principal that if I have taken up something, will finish it with the best of my capabilities within the time frame no matter what the odds
Constantly striving to learn new things and get the best out of myself to achieve greater heights in life
Reading is exercise to mind, I believe that there are two ways to learn thing, first from your experience and second is from others experience, first options takes time but the second option learning from others is fast one and that is where reading comes to your help.
I also follow a simple routine of some exercise and jog every day without which I consider my day to be incomplete. This is the best way to freshen the mind and body and think about some critical issues.

Lane change is an important issue in microscopic traffic flow simulations and active safety. Overtaking and changing lanes are dangerous driving maneuvers. This approach presents a lane-changing system based on speed and a minimum gap between vehicles in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). This paper proposes a solution to ensure the safety of drivers while changing lanes on highways.
Nowadays, researchers have performed extensive experiments to study the feasibility and Connectivity of vehicle access. We investigate connectivity in the ad hoc network formed between vehicles that move on a typical highway. We use the common model in vehicular traffic theory. Since a vehicle spends a large portion of the connection time in this poor link quality area," No GPS Zone" the data throughput can be significantly reduced.
