Redux itself is a standalone library that can be used with any UI layer or framework, including React, Angular, Vue, Ember, and vanilla JS. Although Redux and React are commonly used together, they are independent of each other.
If you are using Redux with any kind of UI framework, you will normally use a “UI binding” library to tie Redux together with your UI framework, rather than directly interacting with the store from your UI code.
React Redux is the official Redux UI binding library for React. If you are using Redux and React together, you should also use React Redux to bind these two libraries.
To understand why you should use React Redux, it may help to understand what a “UI binding library” does.
Note: If you have questions about whether you should use Redux in general, please see these articles for discussion of when and why you might want to use Redux, and how it’s intended to be used:
Using Redux with any UI layer requires the same consistent set of steps:
While it is possible to write this logic by hand, doing so would become very repetitive. In addition, optimizing UI performance would require complicated logic.
The process of subscribing to the store, checking for updated data, and triggering a re-render can be made more generic and reusable. A UI binding library like React Redux handles the store interaction logic, so you don’t have to write that code yourself.
Note: For a deeper look at how React Redux works internally and how it handles the store interaction for you, see Idiomatic Redux: The History and Implementation of React Redux.
While Redux can be used with any UI layer, it was originally designed and intended for use with React. There are UI binding layers for many other frameworks, but React Redux is maintained directly by the Redux team.
As the offical Redux binding for React, React Redux is kept up-to-date with any API changes from either library, to ensure that your React components behave as expected. Its intended usage adopts the design principles of React - writing declarative components.
React components are a lot like functions. While it’s possible to write all your code in a single function, it’s usually better to split that logic into smaller functions that each handle a specific task, making them easier to understand.
Similarly, while you can write large React components that handle many different tasks, it’s usually better to split up components based on responsibilities. In particular, it is common to have “container” components that are responsible for collecting and managing some kind of data, and “presentational” components that simply display UI based on whatever data they’ve received as props.
The React Redux connect
function generates “container”
wrapper components that handle the process of interacting with the store
for you. That way, your own components can focus on other tasks, whether it be
collecting other data, or just displaying a piece of the UI. In addition,
connect
abstracts away the question of
which store is being used, making your own components more
reusable.
As a general architectural principle, we want to keep our own components “unaware” of Redux. They should simply receive data and functions as props, just like any other React component. This ultimately makes it easier to test and reuse your own components.
React is generally fast, but by default any updates to a component will cause React to re-render all of the components inside that part of the component tree. This does require work, and if the data for a given component hasn’t changed, then re-rendering is likely some wasted effort because the requested UI output would be the same.
If performance is a concern, the best way to improve performance is to skip unnecessary re-renders, so that components only re-render when their data has actually changed. React Redux implements many performance optimizations internally, so that your own component only re-renders when it actually needs to.
In addition, by connecting multiple components in your React component tree, you can ensure that each connected component only extracts the specific pieces of data from the store state that are needed by that component. This means that your own component will need to re-render less often, because most of the time those specific pieces of data haven’t changed.
As the official binding library for React and Redux, React Redux has a large community of users. This makes it easier to ask for help, learn about best practices, use libraries that build on top of React Redux, and reuse your knowledge across different applications.

C# bindings
The GDAL project (primarily Tamas Szekeres) maintains SWIG generated C# bindings for GDAL and OGR.
Generally speaking the classes and methods mostly match those of the GDAL and OGR C++ classes, but there is currently no C# specific documentation beyond this site.
The C# bindings are also usable from other .NET languages, such as VB.Net.
The C# interface has been built upon the same libraries as the other SWIG generated wrappers (like Python, Java). Therefore, the class names, class member names, and the method signatures are driven by the GDAL+SWIG conventions and might not follow the conventional .NET naming guidelines. However, one can easily identify the matching members in the GDAL/OGR API documentation.
The GDAL/OGR C# classes use the .NET P/Invoke mechanism for the communication between the managed and unmanaged code. Every class implements the IDisposable interface to control the finalization of the underlying unmanaged memory referenced by every the wrapper class.
Supported platforms
Currently the interface is compilable on and supports:
the various Win32 and Win64 platforms targeting the Microsoft.NET and the MONO frameworks,
GNU Linux/OSX systems using the MONO framework, and
Unity systems on Windows, OSX and Linux (currently only the MONO framework and not IL2CPP).
Getting GDAL for C#
There are a number of ways to get the C# bindings, including but not limited to:
The gisinternals site, see below under "Windows Build SDK",
The Conda package, see instructions below
The gdal.netcore NuGet package, see link below, and
For Unity, there is a UPM package that installs GDAL, available from here (available on Windows, Mac and Linux)
(all of these are community supported)
Useful Links
A variety of example programs in CSharp are available at the /swig/csharp/apps folder of the GDAL project tree.
The Conda Feedstock
A simple (as is) build engine of GDAL 3.2 library for .NET Core. MaxRev-Dev/gdal.netcore
The ViRGiS project makes extensive use of GDAL in c# in a Unity environment.
(Please add your project to this section)
Windows Build SDKs
Tamas Szekeres maintains build SDK packages in order to compile GDAL from the sources on Windows. The build system provides daily build binary packages for the latest stable and development versions.

A window join joins the elements of two streams that share a common key and lie in the same window. These windows can be defined by using a window assigner and are evaluated on elements from both of the streams.
The elements from both sides are then passed to a user-defined JoinFunction or FlatJoinFunction where the user can emit results that meet the join criteria.
The general usage can be summarized as follows:
Some notes on semantics:
The creation of pairwise combinations of elements of the two streams behaves like an inner-join, meaning elements from one stream will not be emitted if they don’t have a corresponding element from the other stream to be joined with.
Those elements that do get joined will have as their timestamp the largest timestamp that still lies in the respective window. For example a window with [5, 10) as its boundaries would result in the joined elements having 9 as their timestamp.
In the following section we are going to give an overview over how different kinds of window joins behave using some exemplary scenarios.
Tumbling Window Join
When performing a tumbling window join, all elements with a common key and a common tumbling window are joined as pairwise combinations and passed on to a JoinFunction or FlatJoinFunction. Because this behaves like an inner join, elements of one stream that do not have elements from another stream in their tumbling window are not emitted!
As illustrated in the figure, we define a tumbling window with the size of 2 milliseconds, which results in windows of the form [0,1], [2,3], .... The image shows the pairwise combinations of all elements in each window which will be passed on to the JoinFunction. Note that in the tumbling window [6,7] nothing is emitted because no elements exist in the green stream to be joined with the orange elements ⑥ and ⑦.
Sliding Window Join
When performing a sliding window join, all elements with a common key and common sliding window are joined as pairwise combinations and passed on to the JoinFunction or FlatJoinFunction. Elements of one stream that do not have elements from the other stream in the current sliding window are not emitted! Note that some elements might be joined in one sliding window but not in another!
In this example we are using sliding windows with a size of two milliseconds and slide them by one millisecond, resulting in the sliding windows [-1, 0],[0,1],[1,2],[2,3], …. The joined elements below the x-axis are the ones that are passed to the JoinFunction for each sliding window. Here you can also see how for example the orange ② is joined with the green ③ in the window [2,3], but is not joined with anything in the window [1,2].
Session Window Join
When performing a session window join, all elements with the same key that when “combined” fulfill the session criteria are joined in pairwise combinations and passed on to the JoinFunction or FlatJoinFunction. Again this performs an inner join, so if there is a session window that only contains elements from one stream, no output will be emitted!
Here we define a session window join where each session is divided by a gap of at least 1ms. There are three sessions, and in the first two sessions the joined elements from both streams are passed to the JoinFunction. In the third session there are no elements in the green stream, so ⑧ and ⑨ are not joined!
Interval Join
The interval join joins elements of two streams (we’ll call them A & B for now) with a common key and where elements of stream B have timestamps that lie in a relative time interval to timestamps of elements in stream A.
This can also be expressed more formally as
b.timestamp ∈ [a.timestamp + lowerBound; a.timestamp + upperBound] or
a.timestamp + lowerBound <= b.timestamp <= a.timestamp + upperBound
where a and b are elements of A and B that share a common key. Both the lower and upper bound can be either negative or positive as long as as the lower bound is always smaller or equal to the upper bound. The interval join currently only performs inner joins.
When a pair of elements are passed to the ProcessJoinFunction, they will be assigned with the larger timestamp (which can be accessed via the ProcessJoinFunction.Context) of the two elements.
Note The interval join currently only supports event time.
In the example above, we join two streams ‘orange’ and ‘green’ with a lower bound of -2 milliseconds and an upper bound of +1 millisecond. Be default, these boundaries are inclusive, but .lowerBoundExclusive() and .upperBoundExclusive can be applied to change the behaviour.
Using the more formal notation again this will translate to

Man faces impaired driving, firearm charges after stop at ride check in Mississauga
by Bryann Aguilar, CP24.comPeel police have charged an alleged impaired driver who was stopped at a ride spot check in Mississauga on Saturday morning.
Officers arrested the driver in the area of Dixie Road and North Service Road around 1 a.m.
Following his arrest, a loaded firearm was located, police said.
A 27-year-old man who is from Toronto has been charged with impaired operation of a vehicle with a blood alcohol content over 80 mgs, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded firearm, knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm, careless storage of a firearm, and possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose.
He was scheduled to appear at a Brampton court on Saturday.
Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said that four people were arrested in Toronto on Friday for impaired driving.
“One of those drivers was also stopped because he was going the wrong way in a construction zone and actually struck three construction workers on Highway 401 in the City of Toronto,” Schmidt said.
“This is certainly a huge concern for us and the fact is we continue to find alcohol and drug impaired drivers operating their vehicles putting themselves at risk and putting everybody at risk.”
Schmidt warned drivers that if they are attending a celebration this holiday season, “you have to have a plan.”

Don’t like a Twitter trend? You can now get rid of it
by SururTwitter has been working to fight the toxicity which has been a major part of the platform for many years now.
After being accused of not doing much to fight the rampant abuse on its platform, the company is now acting more decisively, including recently banning all forms of political advertising for example.
Today, in the latest news, the company has added the ability to report unsuitable trends from the home page.
A drop-down menu has been added to the trends section which allows users to report a twitter trend under 4 categories:
- This trend is spam
- This trend is abusive or harmful
- This trend is a duplicate
- This trend is low quality.
We assume an algorithm will take care of evaluating responses and get rid of the more toxic trends which are sometimes started against celebrities or other prominent people.
The feature does not appear to be available for everyone yet and may require clearing your web cache to access.
What do our readers think of the ability to report a twitter trend? Let us know below.

Hello! My name is Naman Jain, and I am a kick-ass Computer
Engineer. Along with studying for my degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I write screenplays and do some freelancing work in designing and hosting websites.
Flutter IOS and Android App
Connect, Get Famous, And Earn! This app is a social experiment where 100 students compete on this social media platform to become the most famous. Coming soon on Android and IOS. Currently in Alpha
Made with Firebase and Flutter. People compete for fame on every social media platform. They like every post they see in hopes that the other person will return the favour.
This app is designed to trace those people and their behaviours. The twist? The
participant that gets the most likes will be awarded $100.
Embedded Systems Project
This project is made to simulate the behaviour of a crane. User inputs x-y coordinates on the controller and the system rotates 2 wheels in the respective direction and distance.
Programmed in C and made with the MSP430 micro-controller by Texas Instruments. Control two Stepper Motors with attached wheels that rotate in an X and Y direction respectively. An REFL Light Sensor detects each full rotation and the C program determines distance traveled. A 4x4 Keypad is used to enter the desired X and Y coordinates. An 8-chanel multiplexor is used to convert the 8 signals of the keypad to be usable with just 3 signals. Sounds simple but it is very difficult to achieve.
 If you get bored with a game, you can simply switch to a different game like UNO or Pokemon.
Made using Unity and Vuforia Engine, Magic Cards is an app that was designed to make every party fun with a wide assortment of cards. For now our app allows users to see 52 shuffled cards in AR project over printed cards. In the future we want to make it project open source and let people add their own custom cards.
Web App
This app allows anyone who has no knowledge on using word and excel to create invoices quickly and to keep track of sales. This app conveniently does so using a friendly interface.
Made using Python and Firebase. This web app can store products and their details on a database and allow users to access those items to automatically create invoices and receipts in pdf format. Users can track the previous sales price and quantity used as well as well as receive annual revenue predictions.
Android App
Have you ever had experienced a moment in your life when you know something important has happened in the last week but you can't seem to recall what it is? Remember this won't let you forget.
Our app accepts a video recording of your day, stores it into the cloud, uses voice recognition to detect key works like "idea" and laughter, and uses image detection to detect clips where the observer smiles.
Then by filtering these clips, our app will determine the timestamps of the best moments and create a compilation of the best clips of the day. Then we will send you an SMS containing the link to the video so you can watch it directly on your phone!
Wow! Thanks for making it this far. When I am not working, studying, or
hacking, I can be found playing Basketball, working out at the gym,
reading fantasy novels, listening to Drake, writing screenplays, and
meditating.

Starting This Blog
01 May 2015The idea is use this blog to share some ideas and I hope to get some feedbacks. That blog was made using Jekyll and Pole with Hyde theme. Interested? Check the posts of Joshua and Bastiaan about it.
Just one quotation before start:
"Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do… The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Really smart people with reasonable funding can do just about anything that doesn't violate too many of Newton's Laws!" - Alan Kay, 1971

“A paradoxical noun because it means beauty but is itself one of the ugliest words in the language. Same goes for the adjectival form pulchritudinous. They’re part of a tiny elite cadre of words that possess the very opposite of the qualities they denote. Diminutive, big, foreign, fancy (adjective), colloquialism, and monosyllabic are some others; there are at least a dozen more. Inviting your school-age kids to list as many paradoxical words as they can is a neat way to deepen their relationship to English and help them see that words are both symbols for things and very real things themselves.”
I found this brief, interesting paragraph in the Mac OS X Dictionary program when I looked up “Beauty” in the Thesaurus. It was cool enough to post. I love the thought that words are “both symbols for things and very real things themselves.”


"Mantan" and "Sleep'n'Eat" Bamboozled
By Ross Anthony
Bamboozled is a term Malcolm X used to describe the treatment of blacks by the whites back in the 1900's.
In the film "Bamboozled," we follow TV producer Pierre Delacroix (Wayans) who's dropped his American accent in favor of a countryless Harvardy dialect and his American name for a French one. The character is interesting, but the speech much more annoying than need be.
As the "sole person of color" working for CNS, and frustrated with his impossible-to-please boss, a desperate Pierre goes for the outrageous and creates a TV show intended to satire black stereotypes. "Mantan the New Millennium Minstrel show" boldly black-faces (as in Al Jolson) the black lead actors (a tap dancer and singer) and proudly hails its anthem, "Nigger is a beautiful thing."  But the confused watchers eventually polarize: those who think the show is a funny way to mock stereotypes on one end; those with shaking fists, dead set on stifling this revival of old slave-mentality TV on the other.
Every black hackneyed film and cartoon image since the turn of the century (1800's to 1900's, that is) are replayed with the purpose of twisting America's stabbing pain of embarrassment a quarter turn in hopes of opening the minds of those that control the media by enraging/educating those that watch it.
But the film twists more than this, an underground group of revolutionaries doesn't quite find the "Amos and Andy" crap funny. "I feel like Dr. Frankenstein," Pierre confesses as this satirical project slowly slips from his command.
As in the film, different people within (and outside of) the black community have their own different ideas on how to best assist the processes of quelling 20th century racist residue. Some will no doubt find that this film (like its fictional "Mantan Minstrel Show") heartily takes steps towards that goal. Others will hark Pierre's own point, "That was 400 years ago, let it go, move on!" Still others, just won't know what to think. I found myself rotating among these three perspectives. Either way, this film provokes thought, pressing buttons while it entertains.
The taping of the pilot sequence is break out fresh and bold. I loved it! Impressive also, the climax sequence; while simultaneously grossly humorous and solidly dramatic, it left me with a blinking question mark over my head. Jade Pinkett-Smith, Savion Glover, and Tommy Davidson give very strong performances, but Damon Wayans accent is more annoying than satirically entertaining.
"Bamboozled" is shot on videotape, sometimes this supports the feel and intent of the film, and at other times hinders it; but for the most part doesn't effect the play.
Bamboozled. Copyright © 2000. Rated R. Starring Damon Wayans, Savion Glover, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Tommy Davidson, Michael Rapaport. Written and directed by Spike Lee. Choreography: Savion Glover. Produced by Jon Kilik and Spike Lee at 40 Acres/New Line.

Las Vegas Valley likely to feel more like fall this week
by Alexis EgelandFall-like weather might finally creep into the Las Vegas Valley this week, according to the National Weather Service.
Also according to the weather service:
Sunday hit a high of 76, which should be matched Monday and Tuesday before a cloud cover moves in Tuesday afternoon, when the valley can expect a 10 percent to 15 percent chance of rain.
Wednesday’s high should drop to 61, with an 85 percent chance of rain that is expected to linger into Friday.
Temperatures should drop closer to normal for this time of year, hovering around the mid-60s into the weekend.


why divestment?
- Climate change is already loading the dice for extreme weather events like Hurricane Sandy, which not only battered communities but cost New York City almost $50 billion. Now, recent reports show that the fossil fuel industry has five times more carbon in their reserves than scientists say we can burn and still keep warming below 2°C, a target that every country on earth has agreed to. Fossil fuel divestment is a clear way for NYU to live up to its values and help society address this crisis.
- Divestment is the opposite of investment – it simply means getting rid of stocks, bonds or investment funds that are unethical or morally ambiguous. The message is simple: if it is wrong to wreck the climate, then it is wrong to profit from that wreckage.
- A fossil fuel divestment movement will help take away the social license of the fossil fuel industry, weakening their political power. Just think: if hundreds of campuses divested, it would start an important discussion in the market about the long-term viability of fossil fuels and the need to transition to clean energy economy.
- It's great to see NYU greening the campus, but we need our university to green its portfolio as well. In fact, it's entirely inconsistent for the university to reduce emissions on campus only to invest in companies that are increasing emissions around the world. NYU shouldn't be investing in an industry that is destroying the planet that students are inheriting.
- The bottom line is that divestment is the only moral choice for institutions that care about the economy, society, and planet their students are going to inherit. Just the presence of student groups advocating for divestment will send ripples through the industry; as schools begin to actually divest, it will send shockwaves.

Require.js plugin for loading files conditionally, based on
window.matchMedia
.
Open the console and fiddle around with the browser width to see the example scripts only being loaded when the corresponding media query matches.
requirejs([' [script-alias] ! ( [mediaquery] ) ? [path] ']);
require.config({ paths: { 'mm': 'matchmedia' }, waitSeconds: 0 // this is needed to prevent timeout errors });
requirejs(['mm!(screen and (max-width: 500px))?scripts/maxwidth']); requirejs(['mm!(screen and (min-width: 1200px))?scripts/minwidth']); requirejs(['mm!((min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px))?scripts/min-maxwidth.js']); requirejs(['mm!(all and (orientation:landscape))?scripts/orientation-landscape']); requirejs(['mm!(all and (orientation:portrait))?scripts/orientation-portrait']); requirejs(['mm!(only screen and (min-device-pixel-ratio:2), only screen and (min-resolution: 192dpi))?scripts/retina.js']);
Basically all browsers that have `window.matchMedia` support. If not available you can use this polyfill.

Occupy London Tech Team
The tech team was a working group of engineers and techies which supported the main movement with on-the-ground tech support, digital security, online infrastructure, electricity, internet access and sometimes to stretch the legs and get a break from the computer a bit of police counter-surveillance and psyops. We were one of the first working groups up and running. "I left, I left, I had a good job and I left, I left because I thought it was right, left, right, left."
Project Details / Background
Occupy London was a political movement in London, England, and part of the international Occupy movement. While some media described it as an "anti-capitalist" movement, in the statement written and endorsed by consensus by the Occupy assembly in the first two days of the occupation, occupiers defined themselves as a movement working to create alternatives to an "unjust and undemocratic" system.

Be aware: what I chose to do was dangerous and should be warned against!!!! Always beware of drugs that you do not know about...
So yesterday was a normal day just like every other one, with a few exceptions. One, I had found a bottle of Thorazine in my moms drawer and had heard it was a mood elevator, so I took two of them to get high, which i was. Then I met up with my friend, and he had the idea of taking mushrooms. It was a beautiful day in the bay area, and that sounded like a grand idea. We found the mushrooms as easily as possible, ate them, and headed out to the headlands for an excursion in the sun.
My friend decided to take a walk down to the beach and i stayed on our perch, when I noticed the sun was beating down on me. I was squinting almost uncontrollably and my cheek muscles felt tense. when he came back, I decided I didn't like where we were sitting, and we started to walk away.
This is when I noticed that the squinting wasnt stopping. In fact, I wasnt facing the sun, yet my face felt like it was permanently stuck in a squinting smile. At first I ignored it, and then i told my friend that I felt something was wrong. My jaw was moving uncontrollably and causing me to lose my ability to speak clearly, I had developed a lisp. My friend and I were scared shitless because we had no idea who to turn to. We started driving when I started to scare myself into thinking I had done irreversable damage too myself - I tried several times to throw up the mushrooms, and when nothing worked I decided my best bet was to ride it out.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
If you are currently suffering through these symptoms, stay calm. I did the research, and the condition is called Psuedoparkinsonism. thats right, false symptoms of a disease that makes you lose ALL CONTROL of your bodily functions. and thats exactly what happened, it got worse, EXTREMELY worse, before it got better. what began as minor jaw clenching and uncontrollable tongue movements became seemingly complete loss of my voice box, and I suddenly was unable to put together a sentence. My jaw was pulling itself open and the only comforting thing to do was to continue to push my jaw open. I thank god for my friend who stuck with me through this because I would've broken down without a friend. I couldn't allow my parents, or other friends to see me because they would not have understood my condition.
I'm still unsure as to whether some of the conditions were psychologically kick started or whether the symptoms just simply came to a halt, but the way that the symptoms ended was peculiar. My friend and I decided it was time to go back to my house and research my condition. Once I set foot inside my home i was suddenly comfortable, and within moments, I regained all my ability to speak and move my jaw comfortable. I was sore for the next day or so, at times feeling my teeth clenched together, but the feeling of regaining control of my face was an amazing relief. I'll NEVER mix drugs that I'm aren't sure about because something worse COULD happen.

As more men run, Klobuchar makes case for ‘woman candidate’
by Associated PressNEW LONDON, N.H. (AP) — Amy Klobuchar does not want to run for president as a woman candidate.
That’s never been the Minnesota Democrat’s style. But the media, polls and the addition of more men to the 2020 primary led the senator to a conclusion: Many Americans still aren’t comfortable with the idea of a woman in the Oval Office, and she needed to amplify the conversation about it.
Klobuchar has been talking pointedly about gender and politics — even if she’d rather be discussing the bills she’s passed or how she’s won in Republican areas.
Klobuchar says “Our people want to win. And if they think ‘Oh, can a woman really win?’ you gotta start discussing that.”
Klobuchar says it’s not the reason she should win and she wants to run on her merits.

Docs : API : List Users
The List Users API lets you retrieve all the users of an app and their associated metadata by providing the app ID. The app ID can be obtained from the Admin panel. This endpoint is paginated.
curl 'https://v1.userbase.com/v1/admin/apps/$APP_ID/users?nextPageToken=$NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN' \
-XGET \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN'
Parameters
-
APP_ID - The app ID to retrieve.
-
NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN - The next page of users to retrieve.
-
ACCESS_TOKEN - Your access token.

This page is to be used as a launch pad for assignments and various requirements for CS 313.
I would like to briefly introduce myself: I am Michael Carey, a self-starter and entrepreneurial minded go getter who is always looking to improve both my technical skills but most importantly in soft skills. I have been in the software development and engineering field for 15+ years. I feel that the real key difference between good and great have a lot to do with the development of self and interpersonal skills. The adage, “readers are leaders” in my belief is quite true. Facilitating the development of people and the teams that they work on is the real grease that moves business along and understanding the agile method of development has greatly help me to move my work to the next level. Even if deadlines occasionally slip, focusing on the team and its ability to deliver quality work are the real skills that people in industry are looking for. I am confident in my ability to deliver what I commit to and working with others to help the whole team win as one!
In senior high Michael grabbed his father's ANSI C programming manual and taught himself C programming using Microsoft's Quick C Compiler. After graduating high school, he was hired as a junior level programmer working for Cogito, Inc. From there he worked as a team member in the Starbucks Coffee third level store support and was responsible for all North American stores interfacing directly with the developers to solve store level issues.
After Starbucks, Michael left on his mission from Dec 1999 to Nov 2001 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Arizona Tempe Mission. After working a contract job for Microsoft he left for BYU-Idaho in 2003 and began his studies for a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science. In 2005 Michael took a year break to start a company called KumuSoft, LLC with two other partners writing a web application for genealogical research and presentation. Sadly, the company did not survive and he then refocused his efforts in school.
During 2007, while in school, Michael began the development of AdverTran. He has since continued to work with Carey and Associates, Inc. and to do various contract jobs. Michael was happily married to Nicole in the beginning of 2010 and finishing out his Associates Degree in December of 2012 primarily through online correspondence while continuing his professional career.
In 2013, Michael began a personal development program through self-directed education, studying business and leadership principles. Fast forwarding to 2016 he then established his own personal business called A-Game Empowerment, LLC. The development of this business is ongoing and slated to become a personal mentorship and coaching business for individuals looking to improve themselves in Finance, Business, and Personal Development. To accomplish these goals, he is currently in development of a web portal and service for his customers.

| The
1958 New York Convention1 provides for the reciprocal enforcement
of arbitration awards. A central feature of the Convention
is that the awards be international in nature. One of the
concerns of lawyers involved in trade between Hong Kong and
the Mainland has been directed to the enforceability of Hong
Kong arbitration awards in China after the hand-over (1st
July 1997). Until now there has been a void.
In mid-June
1999 a consensus was reached between the government of Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Chinese authorities
for an arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of arbitral
awards between the two jurisdictions.
|
| There
have been concerns over the enforceability of Hong Kong arbitration
awards in China after the hand-over. |
|
The convention continued to apply to Hong Kong after the hand-over.
The enforcement arrangements with other jurisdictions remains
unchanged except for that with Mainland China since the convention,
being an international agreement, no longer applied to the
enforcement of awards between the Mainland and Hong Kong.
A new arrangement has been reached, made in accordance with
the spirit of the New York Convention, which will allow awards
made by over 100 Mainland Chinese arbitral authorities to
be enforced in the Hong Kong SAR when the Arbitration (Amendment)
Bill is introduced into the Legislative Council (and passed).
The Chinese Courts in the Mainland also agree to enforce the
awards made in Hong Kong pursuant to the Arbitration Ordnance
of Hong Kong SAR. The new arrangement will also apply to arbitral
awards made by the Mainland or Hong Kong SAR published after
1st July 1997. |
Brief details
of the arrangement have been published in Hong Kong which will
be clarified further when the bill does go through government
channels in Hong Kong. There is also a two-way public policy exception
which permits the courts in Hong Kong or Mainland China to decline
to enforce the award if contrary to the public policy of each
jurisdiction.
Parties which
attempted in vain to enforce awards during the hiatus between
1st July 1997 and the coming into force of the new arrangement
will be allowed to make a fresh application for enforcement.

Resonant Oscillators
Hitting the sweet spot.
2016-05-08
Today we're going to talk about what I think of as one of the most elegant results a young physicist might work through. I speak of the driven-damped simple harmonic oscillator. Note that there are three parts to this system, the driven part, the damped part, and the simple harmonic part. Like Merlin, we're gonna go about this donkey backwards.
So what is a simple harmonic oscillator? Well, we're gonna start with forces as a function of distance. $&F(x)=c&$ is the dead simplest we can go, force is a constant, acceleration is constant, things just scoot off forever. Admittedly, even this simple approach can produce some interesting questions, if you remember ideal ballistics. However, from there we can complicate things by one hair, and say $&F(x)=\pm kx&$ Now, the plus version of that force will result in not just increasing speed forever, but increasingly increasing speed forever, you'll get an exponential which couldn't conceivably be accurate for very long. But the minus version, that's got some appeal. If the particle is a bit to the left, it gets pushed right, if it's a bit to the right, it gets pushed left, so it can't stray too far from the origin.
This comes down to an exercise in solving differential equations, and we make it easier on ourselves by defining a new variable $&\omega_0&$ where $&\omega_0^2=\frac{k}{m}&$ and is sometimes referred to as the natural frequency. This allows us to write our earlier force as $&\ddot{x}+\omega_0^2x=0&$ where dots over variables means we've taken that many time derivatives, $&a=\ddot x&$. This class of differential equation, linear homogeneous, when it has this few terms, is basically solved by a process of slightly structured guessing. We'll skip that for the sake of brevity and talk about what shape the solutions take. The simple harmonic oscillator has a variety of equally valid forms, because it's trig functions, and they are a malleable and shifty lot. We'll be sticking with the form of $&x(t) = B_1cos(\omega_0 t) + B_2sin(\omega_0 t)&$ where $&B_1&$ and $&B_2&$ reflect the starting conditions, the initial velocity and initial position. In fact, with a little differentiation you could find those constants to be $&B_1=x_0&$ and $&B_2=\frac{v_0}{\omega_0}&$
So that's the simple harmonic part, let's add damping to the mix. A damping force is one that is applied in the opposite direction that a particle is moving in. When this is the case you can see that energy is going down. It's most obvious when you phrase it as the vector expression $&w=\vec F \cdot \vec v&$ where power is the energy change per unit time, watts. The dot product between force and velocity will be zero if they point at right angles of each other, positive if they're partially aligned, and negative if partially in opposite directions. So if you end up with $&F(v)=-b v&$, you can see that the energy change of the system is always negative if b is positive. Introducing a new substitution $&2\beta = \frac{b}{m}&$ we can take our new damping force with the restoring force, $&F(v, x) = -b v - k x&$ we get a new differential equation when we include this linear damping $&\ddot{x}+2\beta \dot{x}+\omega_0^2x=0&$
Had I not skipped over how we solved the undamped version, you'd be able to spot that this has 3 moderately distinct regimes. For now I'm just going to assert that it matters how $&\beta&$ compares with $&\omega_0&$. We're going to focus mostly on the case where $&\beta < \omega_0&$ which is referred to as under damping. In this regime we get a new frequency, $&\omega_1^2=\omega_0^2-\beta^2&$ Which lets us write the solution to the damped harmonic oscillator as $&x(t) = e^{-\beta t}(B_1cos(\omega_1 t) + B_2sin(\omega_1 t))&$ where $&B_1&$ and $&B_2&$ behave again as knobs to reflect the initial conditions. $&B_1&$ is unchanged, but the exponential complicates things slightly for $&B_2&$ as it takes the form $&\frac{v_0 + \beta x_0}{\omega_1}&$
We've taken our time to get here, but let's introduce an external force into things. $&F(v, x, t) = -b v - k x + F_0 cos(\omega_d t)&$, I call it an external force because that part isn't a function of the particles position or velocity, it's just being imposed over time. In reality whatever environment is imposing the restoring and damping forces might also be perceived as "external" to the particle, but it's a sometimes messy distinction to make rigorously. The take away is we now have a new, inhomogeneous differential equation $&\ddot{x}+2\beta \dot x+\omega_0^2x=f_0 cos(\omega_d t)&$. The solution to this ends up being the combination of a transient term, of the form given by the damped oscillator, and a persistent term, or attractor, that regardless of initial conditions the oscillator settles into. The total solution is $&x(t) = Acos(\omega_d t+\delta) +e^{-\beta t}(B_1cos(\omega_1 t) + B_2sin(\omega_1 t))&$.
So, definitions. Some derivatives and algebra would tell us that $&A^2=\frac{f_0^2}{(\omega_0^2-\omega_d^2)^2+4\beta^2\omega_d^2}&$, take note of the denominator there, the punchline is hiding in it. $&\delta = arctan(\frac{2\beta\omega_d}{\omega_0^2-\omega_d^2})&$, arctan being the inverse of tangent, putting in infinite gives $&\pi/2&$, negative infinite returns $&-\pi/2&$. $&B_1 = x_0 - A cos(\delta)&$, a bit messier than previous, because the attractor term has some say. And $&B_2 = (v_0 - \omega_d A sin(\delta) + \beta B_1)/\omega_1&$. Ok, that's a gob ton of math, so let's get down to some exploration before explanations. Below is a little interactive where you can play around with the driving frequency, I've set $&\omega = 1&$, $&\beta=.05&$ and $&f_0=10&$. The red lines show you the bounds of the attractor solution.
So, one thing you'll notice as you shift driving frequency towards $&\omega_0&$ the guidelines go out past the range of the screen. When the driving frequency approaches the natural frequency, it's what's referred to as being resonantly driven. You can see that by looking at how calculate A, and taking note that the denominator has that $&\omega_0^2-\omega_d^2&$ term in it, when that goes to zero, the denominator is at it's smallest, making the amplitude the largest. An interesting feature/engineering problem is that if you had more driving forces at different frequencies, you'd have more attractors just being added together. Now remember how from the Fourier series conversation we found that arbitrary shapes can be made from adding together frequencies. Why does this matter? Imagine you have some kind of stimulus, say, going over a bumpy road or being walked on, if that stimulus is occurring at an even fraction frequency of the natural frequency, say one half, or one third, or one fifty seventh, some portion of the stimulus will be resonantly driving the system. Now in practice we don't need to care about much past those very high harmonics because Fourier series tend to converge incredibly fast, all said and done, but it does mean you'll start to get some significant problems with resonance before you actually hit the natural frequency.

Drawing on the deepest fears of a group of creatures, you create illusory creatures in their minds, visible only to them. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes frightened for the duration.
The illusion calls on the creature's deepest fears, manifesting its worst nightmares as an implacable threat. At the start of each of the frightened creature's turns, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4 d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.


Labeled as “the telecommunications infrastructure of the 21st century”, the internet has enabled millions of people who had access to a computer to communicate and connect virtually either through email or chat rooms. The Internet is a global network that provides computer-based communication. More emails are delivered via the Internet today than first class letters delivered by the post office. The Internet generates $3.1 billion in business and is responsible for 1/3 of US economic growth in 1998.
Computer communication was the main attraction with the invention of the Internet as it was continuously being developed and improved through its many different stages of birth. Being able to message anyone, anywhere around the world at the click of a button was, and still is, a jaw dropping experience for many. This wouldn’t have been established if it weren’t for packet switching and hot potato routing. Packet switching was established so that messages were able to get transported to its desired location even if it failed occasionally. This was done by keeping copies of the message and sending it over and over as long as some part of the network is working. Along with this concept, hot potato routing allowed information to flow quickly without overloading a single system. Arpanet, which was how the internet started, was developed using packet switching to allow multiple computers to communicate on a single network. The data (information) is broken down into little tiny pieces called packets that are sent through the network. A single packet contains a header that tells it where it has to go and this is where nodes play a very important role. A node helps decide where to send each packet.
Later, through the combination of Netscape and the World Wide Web, the Internet was more publicly available to the masses with Arpanet as its prototype. A protocol was also implemented called TCP/IP which allowed any computer to connect to the Internet, and is now the universal standard in developing the internet. A million-dollar investment had revolutionized our world as we know by allowing us to shop online instead of going to the store or chat with someone online rather than meeting in person.
