A couple of weeks ago, I was minding my own business on a Sunday morning when I received a cold email from an editor to write for their online publication. After doing some research, I figured out that the offer was legitimate and wrote back. After a brief exchange, I was pumped about the prospect of writing for them! However, the latest email had the dreaded phrase “pitch me on a couple of topics.” I opened up my trusty ideas.txt
only to find it devoid of topic suggestions. I only write original content on topics where I have interest and experience, so it took some frantic brainstorming to find something worthwhile.  Even with recurring clients, I have trouble coming up with strong topics that meet their needs off the top of my head.
I write technical articles on software development for a variety of clients. When I started, I had a few article ideas in mind, and every once in a while when inspiration struck I would add to the list. As my client book expanded and I worked on larger projects and series, I found myself coming up blank when asked to pitch new article ideas. Recently, I developed an exercise for developing quality ideas that helped me generate 20 solid pitches to use over the coming months in a single planning session, and I hope it will be useful for you as well.
Sit down with your favorite ideation medium (pencil and paper, your TODO manager, your favorite text editor) and about 15 minutes. To generate ideas, ask yourself the following seven questions:
The first three questions guide your exploration into your areas of expertise. I always learn while writing articles, but I try to base each pitch in one of my areas of experience. Most clients will be interested in only some languages and frameworks, and with the exception of broad platforms like AWS you probably won’t have much luck writing about company-specific technologies for third parties.
If you don’t already have clients, skip question 4, if you aren’t looking for new clients, skip question 5. For questions 4-6, a “topic domain” is an area like “data science” or “front-end web development,” that is, it’s not technology-specific. While what clients say they want is an important filter for pitches, these questions are here to expand your list of ideas, not constrain it.
The last question is the most important. Most of my articles and article ideas come from prior projects. Sometimes, I take the skills I learned and apply them to new sample code, but sometimes I’m able to repurpose old work as sample code. A project in any domain gives you the experience that you need to write about that area with confidence. Projects don’t have to be intense: weekend scripts, hackathon projects, and schoolwork fill my list alongside the fewer large projects that I’ve worked on.
With your answers in hand, it’s time to write titles. Try for as many titles as you can, even if some overlap or seem insubstantial. Here’s an example of how I generated a title from my answers:
For questions 1 and 2, I had Python and Django at the top of the respective lists. My topic domain list for question 6 included MVC web dev. In question 7, I listed an early long-term project of mine that contained several disastrous mistakes with Django migrations. Also, thanks to a recent class project where I was working with a team unfamiliar with database migrations in RoR, there were issues stemming from direct editing of migration files. Combining these led me to the title “Ensuring Correctness in Django Migrations.”
My rule of thumb is that a technical article, tutorial, or guide is 2,000 words. After coming up with titles, see if you have any duplicates or topics that can be combined, or if any of your topics are too broad to cover in that length. Doing the work of estimating length up front can save you from pitching an overly complex topic or running out of things to say 500 words in.
To make sure that I remember my developed idea, I included a 2-sentence outline of the article under the title in my notes. For the Django migrations idea, the general structure is to discuss best practices, then provide examples of how to recover from errors of various severities. If you’re newer to technical writing, you might want to develop a more substantial outline to determine if the topic is of an appropriate length and complexity.
Finally, you’ll want to validate your topic with some searching. The market research phase is incredibly important because it’s better to kill an idea that you’ve spent five minutes on than a draft that you’ve spent five days on. If your idea turns out to be wholly original, then that’s great, but you’ll need to do extra research to make sure there’s an interested readership for it. Finding other articles on your topic isn’t a bad thing, on the contrary, it means that you’ve identified something interesting enough for other people to write about. That said, if there are hundreds of articles, books, videos, and other resources on the topic (for example, say you want to write a general introduction to programming in Python), you’ll have to carefully consider your angle to stand out from the crowd.
With your list of articles in hand, it’s time to start pitching your clients and writing outlines. While passive ideation and occasional inspiration are great sources of insightful content ideas, after running this exercise I have confidence that I’ll be able to keep my content pipeline full for months and, when it’s running low, I can work through these questions again.

As a new user, you can get started with Bitcoin without understanding the technical details. Once you've installed a Bitcoin wallet on your computer or mobile phone, it will generate your first Bitcoin address and you can create more whenever you need one. You can disclose your addresses to your friends so that they can pay you or vice versa. In fact, this is pretty similar to how email works, except that Bitcoin addresses should be used only once. When you're ready, you can buy your first Bitcoin and send it directly to your wallet.
The blockchain is a shared global public ledger on which the entire Bitcoin network relies. All confirmed transactions are included in the blockchain. It allows Bitcoin wallets to calculate their spendable balance so that new transactions can be verified thereby ensuring they're actually owned by the spender. The integrity and the chronological order of the blockchain are enforced with cryptography.
Mining is a distributed consensus system that is used to confirm pending transactions by including them in the blockchain. It enforces a chronological order in the blockchain, protects the neutrality of the network, and allows different computers to agree on the state of the system. To be confirmed, transactions must be added to a block that fits strict cryptographic rules that will be verified by the network. These rules prevent previous blocks from being modified because doing so would invalidate all the subsequent blocks. Mining also creates the equivalent of a competitive lottery that prevents any individual from easily adding new blocks consecutively to the blockchain. In this way, no group or individuals can control what is included in the blockchain or replace parts of the blockchain to roll back their own transactions.
This is just a short summary of Bitcoin. If you want to learn more of the details of how it works, you can read the original Bitcoin whitepaper that describes its design.
Secure your wallet. First step is to backup your wallet and keep your backup phrase/seed offline in case you ever need to access your Bitcoin from another location or wallet. Use small amounts in your hot wallet and keep your savings in offline wallets that aren't connected to the internet. Make sure access to your wallet is encrypted with a long randomly generated password. Always make sure any software you use is kept up to date and that you are using sufficient virus and malware protection on your computer.
The Bitcoin price is volatile. The price of a Bitcoin can unpredictably increase or decrease over short periods of time due to its maturing economy and growing markets. Bitcoin should be seen as a high risk asset and you should never store money that you cannot afford to lose with Bitcoin. If you receive payments with Bitcoin, many service providers can convert them to your local currency.
Bitcoin payments are irreversible. A Bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed, it can only be refunded by the person receiving the funds, just like how cash money is used traditionally. This means you should take care to do business with people and organizations you know and trust or who have an established reputation. For their part, businesses need to keep track of the payment requests they are displaying to their customers. Bitcoin can detect typos and usually won't let you send money to an invalid address by mistake, but it's best to have controls in place for additional safety and redundancy. Additional services exist to provide more choice and protection for both businesses and consumers.
Bitcoin is still experimental. Bitcoin is an experimental new currency that is in active development. Each improvement makes Bitcoin more appealing but also reveals new challenges as Bitcoin adoption grows. Be prepared for issues and consult the Bitcoin community before making any investments so that you can hear from others and their experiences first. Remember that past performance is not always indicative of future results.

DBUtils 0.8.1 Release Notes
DBUtils 0.8.1 was released on September 13, 2005.
This is the first public release of DBUtils.


2. NOTES ON INDIVIDUAL PIECES - 2.6 Artifactual Intelligence
Mild-steel; Cor-Ten steel; stainless steel; sandstone; found handmade weapons; rope; computer components. H: 910 mm W: 630 mm L: 1200 mm


I like routine. I can think more clearly if i relax, getting out and starting my day with exercise and that being a set routine helps me to relax and have a more productive day!
I have a pretty positive inner-voice.
That even those with a high EQ need to understand what that is to be use it as a tool for your own and others success.
Programming is a team sport and you have to understand and embrace others for who they are. a comfotale and inclusive environment is the only way to have consistent success as a team.
Nothing really surprised me but I did enjoy it, mostly talking about it with other people.
The writing.
Because this industry is traditionally viewed as a very insular environment and in practice it is very much a collaborative environment and to get a job in this industry you need to be able to someone who enhances a business and it’s internal culture not turn it into a one- wo/man show.
No, I enjoyed it and it broke the work up a bit.

Once in a while, I want to get the total number of PDF pages of a document. You can do that with the command
$ pdfinfo document.pdf | grep Pages | awk -F':' '{gsub(/ /, "", $0);print $2}'
It works like this:
- Call
pdfinfo
to get a lot of information, including a line which begins with the string "Pages". - Get only the line with the string "Pages"
- Split that line at ":", remove all white space and print only that after the first ":" (and before a second ":")
Now we know how to get the number of pages of a PDF document for a single document. But what if you want to get it for all documents within a folder?
$ for i in *.pdf; do pdfinfo $i | grep Pages | awk -F':' '{gsub(/ /, "", $0);print $2}'; done | paste -sd+ - | bc
It works like this:
for i in *.pdf; do ...; done
goes through all files ending with.pdf
and prints the number of pages of the single documents.paste -sd+ -
makes sure that the single lines have a+
in betweenbc
calculates the expression which is now a string line18+42+9

"All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavor to find out what you don't know by what you do: that's what I called 'guessing what was at the othe side of the hill" ~Duke of Wellington
Reconnaissance often begins with establishing a base of information via OSINT. Without visiting the website, collect all the information you can about a company of your choice.
-------------------------------
Try some of these resources to start off with:
http://www.iana.org
https://newgtlds.icann.org/en
https://ww.dnsstuf.com/tools#
https://www.whois.net
https://www.shodan.io
You may find yourself needing to obtain information from websites, FTP sites etc however you only have CLI access. Try practicing some methods for interacting with services from the command line.
Protocol Interaction Activity"Any act that influence a person to take an action that may or may not be in their best interest."
- Set a frame (pretexting) for interaction/ prime for response
- Reciprocity
- Scarcity
- Authority
- Social Proof
- Sympathy
- Phone/email/In-person
- Mental Buffer-Overflow: layering loop (stories/information) until the subject tunes out/can't keep tract, inject bad stuff
- Questions: Language structure that forces the execution of instructions.
- Illegal flag combination can be used to determine Operating System
- X-mas Tree scan is one popular example used in nmap w/OS detection (URG/PSH/FIN flag)
- Linux Only sends RSTs if the port is open (no RST for closed ports)
- Windows Mac ALWAYS send RSTs if the TCP segment isn't a part of an established communication
Popular Scannning tools
- Nmap, Netcat, Scapy, Hping3...
Common Scanning Methods
- TCP Connect()Scan (IDS/logs catch this easily!)
- SYN Scan (half-open)
- ACK Scan (What is this for?)
- Stealth Scans
- NULL or FIN Scan (proper response - open-drop; closed-send an RST)
- UDP Scan (how does that work?!)
Additional Reading:
RFC 7707;https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb/papers/v6worms.pdf
Nmap is a highly popular scanning tool
Nmap host discovery run with root privilege:
- send raw ARP packet, nearly impossible to block or hide from this type of scan
Nmap Host discovery run without root privilege:
- Cannot open raw sockets
- Connects to the 2 TCP port (80 and (443)
- Host considered "up" if the connection succeeds/reset
ICMP: Nmap can do icmp ping sweeps however since OS'es & FW's often block/drop ICMP this can be unreliable

Marshmellow slapstick ends in death
Dayton Daily News | Submitted by: Idle Hands
"Samantha was sitting around a campfire at the Tremont Hills Campground with
her parents. Her 11-year-old brother, Corey, was roasting marshmallows on a
three-foot metal grilling fork. When one of the marshmallows caught fire, Corey
began swinging the fork in a 'baseball-style motion,' deputies said. The metal
fork came loose from the wooden handle and struck the girl in the back of the
head. Samantha then fell and hit her head on a stack of firewood."

Attempted murder by penis biting
Express-Times | Submitted by: Pete
"During an interview with city investigators, the victim said Onufer would
assault him regularly, leaving him no time to heal, according to police. He
also said she bit him all over the body, including his penis, and cut him
with scissors on at least two occasions, according to police. The victim said
an argument about cleaning his blood off the floor of her home sparked the May
20 incident, according to police."

Denver will keep secret surveillance files
RCFP | Submitted by: f00f
"The panel found that the introduction of a sophisticated criminal
intelligence software system in 2000 led to the entry of intelligence
information into a database without differentiating between categories of
information. It is estimated that the Denver Police Department retained
records for approximately 208 groups and 3,277 individuals who engaged
in political, religious, social or expressive activities." You may
remember this from an earlier Daily Rotten. The surprising conclusion,
though: "Webb agreed with most of the panel's recommendation, but said he
would not destroy the files."

And the murder-suicide winner is: FLORIDA
St. Petersburg Times | Submitted by: Toots
"Florida has the highest number of murder-suicides in the country, but only
a fraction are committed by women over 55, state records show. Of the roughly
300 murder-suicides committed in Florida since 1997, only three involved older
women. Experts say it's hard to explain murder-suicides committed by older
women because there are so few cases to study."

Cubs fans lack toilet training
Court TV | Submitted by: Son of Benway
"Wrigley Field might be a baseball shrine, but people who live in the shadow
of the Chicago Cubs' ballpark say it makes their neighborhood something far
from sacred: a huge outdoor toilet... People arrested for using the lawns and
alleyways of Wrigleyville as restrooms have been charged with disorderly
conduct or indecent exposure. Disorderly conduct is a vague charge that does
not carry a threat of jail time. And judges often toss out indecent exposure
cases, not wanting to put such a shameful conviction on offenders' records."

No justice for victims of Texas Nigger Roundup
New York Times | Submitted by: anonymous
A trumped-up drug investigation by one nut-job cop was enough to lock up 10
percent of the black people in Tulia, TX. THREE YEARS have gone by and lawyers
still can't figure out how to overturn the sentences of the 40-some people who
were put in jail for 60, 90 even 300-plus-year terms. "Most of Tulia's white
residents applauded the arrests, and the local newspapers were all but giddy
with their editorial approval. The first convictions came quickly, and the
sentences left the town's black residents aghast." If the town won't secede,
perhaps the rest of the country could expell it?

Learning to love Big Brother
San Francisco Chronicle | Submitted by: zoo1995
"As President Bush wages his war against terrorism and moves to create a
huge homeland security apparatus, he appears to be borrowing heavily, if not
ripping off ideas outright, from George Orwell. The work in question
is 1984, the prophetic novel about a government that controls the
masses by spreading propaganda, cracking down on subversive thought and
altering history to suit its needs. It was intended to be read as a warning
about the evils of totalitarianism, not a how-to manual."

Alcohol ceramic tiles in park to be censored
Seattle Times | Submitted by: Incubus
In Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood, eight hand-painted tiles embedded in the
concrete steps of Lynn Street Park have been ordered to be removed by Seattle's
Parks and Recreation Department. Why? Not because they are obscene, but
because they make reference to alcohol. "The idea that a bum is going to take
inspiration from a tile and go get a bottle of booze is ridiculous."

Th
is
session presented by the University of Connecticut’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning will
be
a workshop focused on the use of backward design and Bloom’s taxonomy.
As a result of this workshop, participants will learn how to:
・
Develop measureable learning outcomes that focus on critical course content and skills;
・
Align course activities with learning outcomes; and
・
Design effective assessment strategies for evaluating student achievement of these learning outcomes
In advance of the workshop, faculty will be asked to complete pre-work related to their own experiences with well-designed learning experiences. They will also be asked to begin describing the ways they want their students to be different upon completion of their course. This will serve as the foundation for designing learning outcomes.
During the workshop, attendees will learn about and work through the 3 stages of backward design, including identifying desired results, determining acceptable evidence, and planning learning experiences and instruction. As part of identifying desired results, attendees will learn about and utilize Bloom’s taxonomy. The taxonomy provides a hierarchy of levels to assist faculty to focus on higher order thinking. By utilizing the taxonomy faculty can design learning experiences and performance tasks to achieve and measure higher order learning.
The workshop will utilize a workbook developed by the presenters. The workbook can be utilized by faculty who are unable to attend the workshop to develop their own learning objectives, activities, and assessment of learning.
Presenters:
Dr. Xinnian Chen
is an Associate Professor in Residence in Physiology and Neurobiology, Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Programs, and Assistant Director of Faculty Development at CETL. Her research interests focus on the evaluation of teaching practice, investigation on how students learn in an active learning classroom setting, and assessment of student engagement and learning gains. During the summer, Dr. Chen directs the Northeast Summer Institute, a HHMI-funded program designed to provide crucial faculty development to refine classroom techniques. The institute provides faculty the opportunity to observe, evaluate, and collect innovative teaching approaches and instructional materials that are ready to be adopted and adapted to their own teaching environments.
Dr. Lauren Schlesselman
is the Associate Director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. In her role, she oversees faculty development initiatives and programming. She was named an UConn Teaching Scholar in 2014-15 for recognition of demonstrated commitment to continuously improving teaching through innovation and reflective practice and dedication to teaching effectiveness and enhanced student engagement. Previously, Dr. Schlesselman was the Associate Director for Academic Affairs in UConn’s School of Pharmacy, where her focus areas were curricular development, assessment of student learning, and leadership development.

Ford government spent $231-million to tear up green energy deals
Ontario spent $231 million last year to tear up over 750 renewable energy contracts.
Associate Energy Minister Bill Walker defended the cost today, blaming the previous Liberal government for signing the deals while the province had an oversupply of electricity.
The Progressive Conservative government cancelled the contracts last July, just weeks after winning the provincial election.
The government said the cancellations would save ratepayers $790-million – a figure industry officials have disputed.
At the time, the government also said it would introduce legislation that would protect hydro consumers from any costs incurred from the cancellation.
Walker says today provincial taxpayers will foot the bill for the cancelled contracts, not hydro customers.

Former Delhi top cop shares video of Saturday’s violence at Tis Hazari court, wants ‘strong and honest leadership’ in police
by JKR StaffA former Delhi top cop has shared a barbaric video of a group of lawyers lynch a policeman on camera during Saturday’s violent clashes that left many injured outside the national capital’s Tis Hazari court.
At least 20 police personnel and several lawyers were injured in the violence, which also saw many vehicled vandalised or set on fire. Among those injured are also two station house officers (SHOs) and an additional commissioner rank officer. A report by news agency PTI said that the violence was triggered by an argument between lawyers and police over parking.
News agency ANI reported that Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Justice DN Patel had taken suo moto cognisance of yesterday’s clash.
IPS officer Aslam Khan, who was the DCP (North West) in Delhi before being shifted to Goa in January this year, shared a CCTV video on Twitter and wrote, “Any opinion? This was starting point of tussle what I could guess.For how long police will be at receiving end just because they have no support and leadership.”
In the video shared by Khan, dozens of lawyers are seen pouncing on a policeman. After a minute in the video, the policeman is seen lying motionless. Replying to a user’s response, Khan said that the Delhi Police desperately needed ‘strong and honest leadership.’
Meanwhile, both parties have lodged complaints and the cases will be probed by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Crime Branch, reported PTI. Several Bar Associations have called for a one-day strike in all district courts on 4 November.

by Feyisayo PopoolaFeyisayo Popoola
VFS TasHeel, an authorised visa service provider for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of its tourist visa services in Nigeria and 29 other countries.
The firm said in a statement that the centres would provide convenient visa and biometric enrolment services for Saudi tourist visa applicants, which would enable pilgrims to travel for Umrah on a tourist visa outside of Hajj season.
According to Saudi Arabia’s new visa policy, nationals of the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Algeria, Bahrain, Cameroon, Chad, Cote D’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Maldives, Nigeria, Philippines, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Tajikistan can apply for a tourist visa.
It said the visa process was open to applicants from all nationalities, except the 49 that were eligible for a visa on arrival or e-visa.
The statement read in part, “The increasing openness of international markets brings immense opportunities to the tourism sector and Saudi Arabia’s new policies acknowledge that tourism has an important role to play in the kingdom’s social and economic development.
“In support of the government’s initiatives, we are pleased to offer tourist visa services in 30 countries, and make the entire process more seamless and convenient for potential leisure travellers and pilgrims for Umrah.”

hi,
here is some simple example code:
FloatVar x (*this, -100, 100);
FloatVar t1 = expr (*this, abs (x * 100)); // OK
FloatVar t2 = expr (*this, abs (x) * 100); // NOK
variable t1 doesn't cause a problem
when creating variable t2, an exception is thrown (OutOfLimits(
"Float::linear"))
the same code compiled with gecode 4.3.2 doesn't cause problems.
am I doing something wrong?
Kind Regards,
Kurt Van Den Branden | Agfa Graphics

Personal Projects Workshop
This workshop is designed to leave a lot of flexible space to work on personal projects, tackle challenges, and achieve a safe project-need-specific learning experience with the help of experts.
About me:
Today we will explore various intermediate methods and features using the CartoDB UI and our JavaScript API CartoDB.js by exploring specific map examples and how the outcome is achieved.
Diving in – CartoDB Editor
Check out this map:
A few things to note about the map:
- The data was scraped using the Kimono API builder.
- The title and text boxes were made using the ‘add element’ icon on the top right of the editor.
- Here you can also add annotations. Check out this “After The Fall” map to see how they can be used.
- This map has no basemap, but uses another data layer as the base. You can change your base maps, add your own images, or remove the base map using the “base map selector” in the lower left corner of the editor.
- The stylings of the map was done entirely in CartoCSS
- The Torque animation elements are clickable. This is not a functionality available in Torque at the moment but you can duplicate the same layer, make it transparent on top of your animation, and style the infowindows accordingly
- There is a header image embedded into the infowindows on click
Let’s take a moment to check out what this map looks like in the data table and in the editor.
Take this time to ask questions about style, technique, or anything else that may come to mind regarding your own project or how I achieved certain elements in the map.
What’s next?
Check out this map:
This map combines multiple layers, and many of the features were created using the built in “Add feature” function
- Create a new layer in your project and experiment with making new features.
- Take a look at what they look like in the data table. You can add columns with information to these spatial features in order to generate your own styles, categories, or info windows.
Realtime Maps
Check out this map:
- It updates every hour to let you know where storms have been reported and where there they’re headed.
This is done by importing data from a URL.
- real-time sync is available only in paid accounts (unless you contact us as and you’re doing something super awesome).
- This map also contains a custom legend created using the built in HTML editor.
Let’s take another moment for questions and to tackle challenges. While I understand not everyone is HTML-savvy, a quick tutorial on Codecademy will get you going in no time : )
CartoDB.js
Check out this map.
- The data was styled in the CartoDB Editor, then the viz.json file was pulled out using the ‘share’ button in the upper right hand corner.
- CartoDB.js was used to create a layer selector, and toggle map legends, which were also created in the JavaScript
Feel free to check out our documentation about CartoDB.js to get started coding your own maps
Here are some examples of additional data stories:
Don’t be afraid to explore the possibilities behind the User Interface, APIs, and cartodb.js using these resources:
- The CartoDB Academy is great for recapping the basics, starting to use our APIs, and growing your design capabilities
- This handy CartoCSS Reference Sheet is a quick guide for beginners to CartoCSS
- If you have any questions or need any help, I am also available as a resource! Please email me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Data
geox4.neocities.org/ is a a great resource for accessing data across the web. It is organized into the following sections: International Resources, US-based Resources, and NYC-based Resources. Remember - shapefiles (.shp) must be zipped with all the files before importing to CartoDB.
The NYC Open Data Portal is a place where you can search for and download data about NYC. Simply click on “Export” at the top right when a data set is open to download the data as a shapefile or CSV.
Happy Mapping!

Apple rolls out health records on iPhones for U.S. military veterans
(Reuters) - Apple Inc on Wednesday said that U.S. military veterans who use its iOS devices and get medical care from the Veterans Health Administration will be able to access their health records on the devices.
The Department of Veterans Affairs runs the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States, with 9 million veterans enrolled and more than 1,200 facilities. Apple began working with the department this summer to allow access to health records from the system on iPhones and other Apple mobile devices running its iOS operating system.
Apple has been working on partnerships with healthcare organizations to allow access to health records on its devices, promoting their privacy and security features. Data stored in the health app on iPhones is encrypted in such a way that Apple cannot read the data, even if the data is backed up to Apple’s iCloud service.
Apple has also worked out similar health record access arrangements with about 400 groups in the healthcare industry, including Johns Hopkins, the University of California San Diego, Quest Diagnostics and Allscripts, the company said. Apple’s system allows the user to access records from all of those providers in one place on their device.


estSmooth.Rd
Estimates smoothness of a single image or image matrix
estSmooth(x, mask, rdf, scaleResid = TRUE, sample = NULL, verbose = TRUE)
| x | may be an image of class "antsImage" or an image matrix |
|---|---|
| mask | input mask, must match matrix |
| rdf | residual degrees of freedom |
| scaleResid | logical. if TRUE residuals are scaled |
| sample | number of images to use for estimating smoothing (default uses all images) |
| verbose | enables verbose output |
Outputs the estimated FWHM and RPV image
The partial derivatives of an image in x, y, and z directions are used to create a covariance matrix which in turn is used to calculate the full-widths at half maxima (FWHM). The FWHM is equivalent to the estimated image smoothness.
The resels per voxel image (RPVImg
) represents the estimated resel at
each individual voxel throughout the search region. This may be used in
place of volumetric measurements (or sum voxel measurements) when estimating
the p-value of a cluster using rftPval
. The intent behind using the
RPV image to estimate cluster level statistics is to offset the natural
probability of obtaining significant clusters solely by chance in very
smooth regions at low thresholds.
It is possible to use a single statistical field image to estimate the FWHM.
However, it's recommended that FWHM estimates are obtained from the scaled
residuals of statistical models (Stefan J.K et al., 1999). Therefore, this
function is optimized to estimate the pooled smoothness of the residual
images from a fitted model. By default residuals are scaled
(scaleResid = TRUE
).
A scaling factor is used to correct for differences when using the
sample
option. Scaling isn't effective when the number of images is
very low and typically results in an overestimation of the the FWHM. If only
one image or numeric vector is entered then the scaling factor is not used.
If a numeric vector is entered the imageMake
function is used to
prepare it for smoothness estimation (see Worsley et al., 1999).

WINGS OF DESIRE A film review by Jim Hori Copyright 1988 Jim Hori
You never thought for a moment ... you would enjoy the film. Oh well. But hey, different strokes, as Sylvester Stewart once said. Here is a different viewpoint from someone who went in with no pre-conceptions. (Also, this review talks more about the film than about the reviewer.)
WINGS OF DESIRE is a film about the guardian angels who observe and watch over the lives of the people of West Berlin, occasionally interceding on their behalf. These angels also spend a lot of time writing poetry. Much of the film simply tracks through streets and apartments, with voiceover inner monologues of the people we see and the angel's poetry as the soundtrack. Wenders uses magic realist techniques to involve us in the reality underlying the surface reality.
As the film progresses, Wenders begins to focus on one particular life, that of an aerialist in a small circus. The circus season is ending, the aerialist will soon be adrift and alone, and she wonders what will come next. That's all I'll reveal of the plot.
One of the strengths of the film is the lush black-and-white cinematography combined with well designed tracking shots.
I knew after seeing this film that it would be considered difficult by many people. It isn't entertainment in the hyperbolic American sense, it is a meditation. Things happen but it takes a certain sensibility to be moved by these particular happenings - the car chases and explosions and grossly overt exposition required by dulled senses are missing; to sense what is going on here takes a slower, more still appreciation. The pyrotechnics are those of the heart.
Also contributing to the difficulty of the film is the sensitive poetic language, maybe the only way Wenders had of describing the passion and compassion he feels for the common people and their lives, the people watched over by the angels. In the end the film is about what makes life valuable, friends, relationships, love, and compassion; we can all be each others guardian angels.
To see a film with this kind of message is important and deeply moving, particularly when contrasted to the violence and degradation of much contemporary cinema. This is a film which requires contemplation and work, and asks that the moviegoer come to it, rather than explicating the non-obvious. For those who can appreciate the mystery, the reward will be a timeless cinematic memory.

CMSIS-Pack
Version 1.5.0
Delivery Mechanism for Software Packs
|
There are multiple ways to distribute a software pack:
The easiest way to distribute a software pack is attaching it to an email or using other means of electronic distribution (for example using a company internal file server). The installation of a software pack is usually triggered by double-clicking the PACK file. The pack management tool is invoked and the Pack is installed on the local machine. After installation, the pack will be shown in the list of installed packs (tool dependent). If the PDSC file does not contain a valid <url>
element, a manual installation is required to update a software pack. Otherwise, pack management tools can check for updates on the server or the local machine that is specified by <url>
.
<url>
using the file URI scheme.Any web server can be used to host a software pack (specified by the <url>
element in the PDSC file). At this location, the following files can be present:
All previous versions listed in the <releases> section of the PDSC file should be present in that folder as well. This will enable customers to revert updates or to be able to download a specific version of a software pack (for code maintenance purposes for example).
ARM maintains a list of available software packs. If you wish to add your packs to that list, send either your vendor.pidx file or your PDSC file to the following email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The PIDX file will be processed and all referenced PDSC files will be validated. The following content will be processed in order to generate the web site (www.keil.com/dd2/pack) and index file (www.keil.com/pack/index.pidx):
Please allow up to seven working days for the process. If the files contain any errors, you will be notified. Otherwise, the information is added to the index server.


Setup
The examples in this guide use Hibernate Validator (the reference implementation for Bean Validation 1.1).
Add Hibernate Validator to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>5.2.4.Final</version>
</dependency>
Enable bean validation support in Spring's context.xml:
<beans:beans ...
...
<mvc:annotation-driven />
...
</beans:beans>
For more info, please see the setup guide
Basics
In order to get started using Bean Validation, you must add validation constraints (@Pattern, @Digits, @Min, @Max, @Size, @Past, @Future, @CreditCardNumber, @Email, @URL, etc.) to your model and then utilize the @Valid annotation when passing your model around in various application layers.
Constraints can be applied in several places:
Fields
Properties
Classes
For Bean Validation 1.1 also on:
Parameters
Return values
Constructors
For the sake of simplicity all the examples below feature field constraints and all validation is triggered by the controller. Refer to the Bean Validation documentation for a full list of examples.
When it comes to error handling, the Hibernate Validator returns a BindingResult object which contains a List<ObjectError>. The examples below feature simplistic error handling, while a production ready application would have a more elaborate design that takes care of logging and error page redirection.

The Corruptor (1999) 2 1/2 stars out of 4. Starring Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg. Directed by James Foley.
Sometimes it's an actors charisma that carries a picture.
Take "The Corruptor," for example.
On the surface, James Foley's Chinatown crime drama is nothing more than a bloody, ultra-violent "B" picture.
The characters are stock: the wise veteran cop who knows his away around the territory, the eager, young rookie trying to fit in and prove his abilities, and the sly, calculating crime lord, with the affable personality that conceals a rattlesnake.
The pleasure of "The Corruptor" can be attributed to two factors: a slightly better than average script, and the personality of its star, Chow Yun-Fat.
This Hong Kong action star is making his second American film - the first was "The Replacement Killers" - after a stellar stint as John Woo's favorite actor in a series of gritty, violent dramas such as "Hard-Boiled."
Chow is smooth, charming and deadly as Detective Nick Chen, head of the AGU (Asian Gang Unit). He has strong ties to the Chinatown community, and is not above accepting a favor or two from some of its "businessmen" leaders.
Chen is not a dishonest cop. He knows where to draw the line. His biggest concern is defusing a gang war that is costing many lives as well as hurting tourism in Chinatown.
Enter Detective Danny Wallace (Mark Wahlberg), an idealistic young recruit who wants to help clean up the community, but instead gets sucked into the dark underbelly and double-dealing of Chinatown.
Robert Pucci's script offers enough twists and surprises to hold some suspense. It is also rather dark and bloody.
Explosions and car chases abound with innocent bystanders mowed down with abandon.
 One or two would have sufficed, but it seems he needs to remind us every few minutes of the story's locale and that New York is a chaotic composite of good and evil.
Otherwise, "The Corruptor" is an engrossing little movie. One reason is the contribution of Ric Young as the seductive crime lord, whose glib manner entices all those around him.
Wahlberg is sincere as Wallace, but this is Chow's movie.
It would be fun to see him and John Woo re-team or see Chow in a film with a stronger script. His potential is limitless.

Suggestions for future improvements will also be discussed. --- # Event Goals and Target Audience -- Provide intro to the R programming environment for chemists -- Script-based data analysis and authoring tools allow chemists to streamline data workflows and enhance reproducibility -- Improve transparency and reproducibility of research processes -- Hands-on learning experience for participants -- Resources for participants to share with their communities -- Intended audience: attendees at the Fall 2019 ACS National Meeting: chemical information professionals, students, and librarians --- # Logistics -- Date and Time: Saturday, August 24, 2019, 9am-2pm, two short breaks and a longer break for lunch -- Location of Workshop: Omni Hotel, an ACS Conference Hotel and in close proximity to the convention center -- Number of Attendees: 18 -- Cost of Workshop: - Instructors donated their time - Each participant paid a $40 registration fee - ACS Publications generously sponsored the rest of the facilities fees - ACS Division of Chemical Information provided logistical support and contingency funding --- # Instructional Design Approach using a Carpentries-style model: sticky notes for feedback, non-lecturing instructors providing individual support .pull-left[![Picture of Ye teaching](ye-room.jpg)] .pull-right[![Picture of Donna and Steve looking at feedback](donna-steve-stickies.jpg)] --- # Content The workshop was broken down into three parts: -- 1.

Creating a reproducible report using R Markdown (taught by Donna) -- Participants used a RStudio Cloud interface. --- # Want to have a look? -- ![Doctor Who - Lets Go](https://media.giphy.com/media/Y1XrxoBKZHTHeky1Wy/giphy.gif) Materials repo: https://github.com/YeLibrarian/R_ACS_20190824Materials --- # Lessons Learned **Overall, went well! But:** -- 1. Several learners suggested a longer workshop. Alternately, content could be chosen more judiciously, and the timing of breaks could be altered. -- 2. Provide print handouts for learners to follow during the lesson. Although the scripts and files used were heavily marked with comments intended to help the participants, some remarked that it was easy to get lost as content scrolled off the screen. A printout would have been easier to follow. -- 3. One issue was the low color contrast on the monitor. Using RStudio, comments in scripts appear as green, which was difficult to see on the particular screen that was in the workshop room. --- # Thanks! -- **ACS Publications** is gratefully acknowledged for their generous financial sponsorship of this event, without which it would not have been able to go forward. -- The **ACS Division of Chemical Information** is also deeply thanked for their commitment and support, including logistical assistance and contingency funding. -- **YOU** for your attention and interest! -- I finally leared to create slides with [**xaringan**](https://github.com/yihui/xaringan). Thanks Yihui :)

Neonmarker add-on, which colours History table entries based on tags.
The add-on also facilitates colouring arbitrary messages in the
History table via a right-click context menu. Tags are added to the
selected messages to deliver the necessary colouring. Neonmarker's
custom tags take the form
neon_UUID
, for example:
neon_e8b1d1e6-9dd4-4996-bc02-de2213986352
. Another context menu item provides functionality to remove
Neonmarker's custom tags.
The following code example shows how to add a Neonmarker colorMapping via JavaScript within ZAP using a Stand Alone script.
extNeon = control.getExtensionLoader().getExtension(org.zaproxy.zap.extension.neonmarker.ExtensionNeonmarker.NAME);
// History items tagged “Comment” will be red
extNeon.addColorMapping("Comment", 0x990000);
