A few of its features are:
ncpp was written at the Research Aviation Facility of The National Center for Atmospheric Research to view and analyze our particle probe histogram data. The NCAR-RAF/nimbus conventions were designed to store multi-rate data, i.e., variable A may be stored at 5sps and variable B at 25sps. Every effort has been made to make it "what you see is what you get" between the screen and printouts.
Note on data files:
static const char *validProbeNames[] = { "AFSSP","AF300","APCAS","A260X","AASAS","A200X","A200Y","A300X", "AMASP","A1DC","A2DC","A1DP","A2DP","AS100","AS200","AS300", "ACDP", "ARDMA","ACLMT","ACMCA","AHVPS","AUHSAS","ASID","ACAPS", "APDI", "A2D3", "ACIP", "APIP", NULL };
ncpp uses, though it is not required, a shell environment variable called DATA_DIR as the default directory to locate data files.

Yep, it's another horror story report about the dangers of drug addiction. But just listen for a minute, about the curious kid turned dopefiend.
'Damn junkies, no willpower, I use drugs to expand my mind, or just to relax once in a while.' I once said. Probably multiple times while reading experience reports. Now I'm twenty and a burned out rehab junky with Hep C. No, I dont live under a bridge, yes I do take showers, yes I do have lovely trackmarks. 'I'd never use a needle' Me either... I thought.
So the report says 320 mg of Oxycontin (Oral and IV), that's 4 'eighties.' But that dose wasnt an experience it was a lifestyle. So let me briefly explain how I developed such a lifestyle. It does not happen over night, or over a month. It took a lot of work, and a lot of stress. I'd been an avid drug user, and partial abuser over the ages 14-18. For a long time I was able to stay grounded in my convictions and ethics about drugs and felt that hallucinogens made me understand much more about life and that pot was my daily meditation of sorts. Along came speed and cocaine and even a long binge of BZP. 'Speed makes me more productive: its justified.' Soon I became quite dependant on uppers and realized I needed to quit. I did quit, remarkably, but then I went back to my old lady, and my god, the opiate.
Opiates had always seemed to be the most pleasent of drugs to me. I'd take a few vicodin or a little syzurp and be at peace with myself and the world. I felt numb but euphoric, with no real crash like uppers, no mania like tripping, and no regrets or amnesia like alcohol and benzos.
So why didn't I get hooked earlier, what happened? A few simple factors: I had no constant, reliable connection until a couple years ago. I had also been progressively increasing my drug intake and drug lifestyle. And the need to fill the void I had developed from taking so many uppers, rolls, etc. and then quitting was growing. Also these conditions came around the time when I had lots of money and not much recreational activity. And so I met the first guy, he had mad pills. We became friends, he shot up, I snorted and munched them.
A few weeks go by and I'm having a splendid time eating pills before work and after work, sometimes at lunch, and gobbling up pills on the weekends. Here is the fuzzy part. I knew about opiate addiction and how it worked, but I was in denial about the amounts I was taking and not concerned with slowing down. Then I decided to take a break, ouch.
This went on for a while, and then I finally did it, I tried the needle. He said it was so much better, and so much more EFFICIENT.  Ive never really stopped desiring that rush since then. Not to say that one injection and your hooked, I was already hooked, but this made it so much better.
The weeks turn to months, I lived for oxy, I woke up to oxy, I went to sleep to oxy, I writhed in pain for oxy. I spent thousands of dollars on the bitch, but I wasnt going to suffer the withdrawals, only she could make me happy, only she could put me at ease.
And just when I thought it couldnt get any worse, Mr. H came strolling through the kitchen one day while I was having party at my house.  And thank God I had the tolerance I did because I purchased 3 potent balloons of tar.  And yes I much prefer good H to oxycontin. The third one was a big nugget of tar, I decide to improvise and cook it how I figured best.  POKE, ASPIRATE, BURNING VEINS, ENDORPHIN EXPLOSION, BLISS, COLLAPSE. Thats the jist of it, but I lived.
Now I had acquired a good amount of serious opiate connections, and used them till my bank account went dry. I couldn't go for 6 hours without dope and not feel shitty. At about 36 hours I'd basically be incapacitated. Those withdrawals were the most intense pain I have ever felt. So what does a good drug addict do when he has no money left?  Then some of my families, then steal from random places, and rip off whoever, whenever. When one lives for a needle, ethics are a joke. It happens quickly, you get comfortable with the needle, then you go down.
 My God, I thought, the inquisitive, adventurous kid, the drug sage with so much respect and knowledge for mind altering chemicals was finally consumed by that which he loved so dearly. But I do have experience now, an interesting story to tell, and a glimmer of hope for the addicts out there.
So did Rehab work? Not exactly. Abstinence wasn't acceptable after a while, I went back and danced with the devil again, and I got burned. (Mad corny I know) And maybe I'll never learn, but I have quit again for the time being. Drug addiction is a monster which no one should have to suffer. I'm not suggesting one avoid all drugs, but be aware of their POWER, and be cautious about how much you're using. We addicts are masters of denial.
Drug abuse is a temporary solution to a long-term, underlying problem. A solution that will consume you in time. Likewise, it wasnt the drugs that were the problem, it was a condition of myself I'm still fixing to this day. Does the craving ever go away? Yeah, sometimes, sort of, with enough sobriety. A word of advice: think you're getting addicted to something... Seek help. It gets much worse.

Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
Yep
Both links dead. Is there another mirror ?
cheers
Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
The page says they have monthly limits, so seeing as it is now the first of the month have you tried again?
Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
Does not work, any ideas?Thank
Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
i have provided 2 mirrors in europe.... if possible try and plan downloads outside the 15:00-22:00 window as the space is also in use by a live webshop that is open in those hours.... Europe time of course not UK
but otherwise the mirrors have free traffic....
Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
think glyn have not activated the links yet... they show up if you click edit on the page but not otherwise
http://pizzaløg.dk/oem/emoncms_raspberrypi_hdd_stack.tar.gz
http://pizzacapri.dk/oem/emoncms_raspberrypi_hdd_stack.tar.gz
you have to insert the full link or it will fail... there is an county filter in effect but the files are not filtered.
Re: I can not download the file for Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms
since the HDD image grew to big i could no longer host them, webspace was 1 GB in total and only had access to 900MB of those
but i do host the gateway image still, currently at these links, remember to access the files directly as there is a country filter in use on the sites, but have added exceptions on the files, let me know if it does not work

Self-Describing Functions
This post isn’t about writing functions. It’s not about what *args, **kwargs means, closures, decorators, callbacks, or def. It’s about writing self-describing functions. That nebulous term that everyone knows they should be doing and has an idea of what it means, but no one really knows what it means.
Before I dive into this, I will point out that way smarter people than I have written entire books about this very thing. This is more a distillation of what I’ve found best works for me. Your experience and philosophies on software design may lead you down an alternative path.
Since functions are the most basic code block in Python, it’s easiest to lay out my thoughts with them. From there, they’re easily extrapolated to classes, modules and packages.
Describing Self-Describing
Since self-describing is like "synergy" or "webscale" where people have ideas and vague defitions of what it means to be "synergistic" or "webscale" but mostly it ends up sounding like a CutCo sales pitch.
To mean, self-describing means a number of things, but the most important bits are:
- Well Named
- Avoids "Ands"
- Documentation
- Clear, Concise Code
Well Named
There’s a joke in metal circles that the late guitarist for Mayhem — Euronymous — chose his name because he thought it was a Greek demon, but actually it’s Greek for "well named." I’m unsure of the validity of the rumor (It’s all Greek to me), but I’ve always been amused by it.
The importance of choosing a good name for functions can’t be overstated. Since functions take a snippet of code and turns it into a reusable piece, when you see that piece being used you need to know exactly what it’s doing. For a minute, let’s place ourselves as researchers in the field of Frobincated Mathematics. We spend all day calculating frobs. Notebooks, white boards and even our code bases are littered with the Frobincator Theorem:
frob = (a + b) * x
A simple, yet powerful formula in our every day work to find ever bigger and better frobs. However, we type it out a lot. One of our CompSci friends points out, "Hey, why don’t you make that a function instead of typing it everywhere?" To which leads a debate on the differences between mathematical and programmtic functions that is neither here nor there. Eventually, we do and we end up with this:
def calc(a, b, x): return (a + b) * x
See any problems? I do. While we’ve taken a common piece of our code base and made it reusable, we’ve actually obfuscated our intent! calc? calc what? Pythag triples? Fibonnaci numbers? Our most precious frobs? If we had to get our CompSci buddy to help us debug an issue, he’s gonna wonder exactly that. He’ll either ask us what it means and does, or he’ll run grep -ir "def calc" . to find it. Either way, we’ve done ourselves a great disservice. But instead, if we change it, ever so slightly, to this:
def calc_frob(a, b, x): ...
Then, everyone knows that it’s calculating frobs! Sure, we may still need to track down the actual source code to see if it’s causing problems, but there’s no headscratching at what it does.
Currently, in one of my projects’ code base, there is a function that isn’t well named. It’s called find. What does find find? Well…actually, it’s more of a filter than a finder. Sure it uses os.walk to get file names but it doesn’t really find things as it makes sure we only grab the correct file types (based on the fool-proof way of trusting the extension…). Had I named it filter_file_exts or sift_extensions, there wouldn’t be an issue.
But sadly, I have learned the hard way, so you don’t have to. Recently, I had to revisit some old PHP I wrote between two and four years ago — it was a time of drunken code debauchery. Some day you’ll write code that you’ll need to revise two years — or even two days — later and you’ll look at a function call and go "What in the world does \manager\extractAll even do?" Do yourself a favor now, and starting naming and renaming functions to better things. Even if naming things is hard
The same logic applies to variables — inside and outside functions. In our calc_frob function, it makes sense what a, b and x are doing. But if you have a thirty line function, will you remember what x means by line fifteen? If you’re dealing with interest on a loan, try naming it interest_percent or if that’s too long percent if it’s still clear.
There are short hand variables that most people will recognize, like fh for a file handle. And if you’re opening (and closing!) a single file, then name it fh. It won’t confuse me or you or anyone else involved. But, if you’re opening two files — maybe you’re shuffling data between them — then don’t name them fh1 and fh2 but consider source_fh and target_fh.
Avoids "Ands"
By "ands" I of course don’t mean things like boolean ands or if/elif/else blocks, rather I mean when you’re describing the function you don’t need to use the word "and" to get it’s job across. "This functions gathers a list of file names *AND* filters them." Why not write a function that just filters the file names and pass it an iterable of file names?
This ties into a later point, but in that same project code base there’s a function called "store_directory" — which I consider well-ish named, since it makes sense in the context of it’s module. This thing is 54 lines long and does way more than just stuff ID3 info into a database: outputs to the screen, times the operation, counts the number of files, massages ID3 info into a dictionary, converts the dictionary to data models, figures out if genres are being tagged, what genres to tag, who’s tagging, *AND* stuffs the data into the database. To be a little fair to myself, some of that work (not much) is farmed out to other functions, but it’s a mess of try-except-finally blocks, loops, conditionals. The actually important part of the function is so buried, when I get around to refactoring it, I’ll probably write a Cliff’s Notes comment about it and just :dG. Good bye horrible function!
Why? Because my application isn’t a single monolothic function that does twelve different things. It’s a series of cooperative pieces that work together to do something. If your coffee grinder also had a salad mixer built in, would you consider it a well designed coffee grinder? Who even has salad and coffee together? Maybe a fruit salad for breakfast, but still.
By contrast, there’s a function called break_tag at the top of the file which has six lines of documentation and four examples for 1 line of code:
def break_tag(tag, breakers=('\\\\', '/', '&', ',', ' ', '\\\.')): '''Breaks a composite tag into smaller pieces based on certain punctuation. Smaller tags are stripped for excess white space before being placed into a set. .. code-block:: python break_tag('viking / folk') # -> {'viking', 'folk'} break_tag('dance & pop') # -> {'dance', 'pop'} break_tag('thrash metal') # -> {'thash', 'metal'} break_tag('progressive metal / black metal') # -> {'progressive', 'black', 'metal'} :param tag str: The tag to be analyzed and broken. :param breakers iterable: A group of characters to break larger tags with. :returns set: ''' return set(t.strip() for t in re.split('|'.join(breakers), tag))
Is there a technical and in there? Sure, if you want to split hairs, it does break a larger tag down and strips white space off the smaller bits, but if you (like me) consider stripping the white space off to be breaking the bigger tag down, then there’s not. Plus I didn’t have to make up some obtuse phrase like "atomic tags."
Rather than writing functions that are described by "and," why not write pure functions and pass them data? Pure functions are wonderful: they don’t have side effects, they do one thing, you can have deterministic results!
Think of the simple unit tests you can write! You know how I’d test break_tag? I’d give it three inputs that should do the right thing, and three inputs that should do the "wrong" thing and verify those. How would I test store_directory? …I didn’t, becuase by the time I started mocking and patching things to make it "testable" I’d written about ninety lines of code that was just setup.
Will you always avoid "ands?" No, because just like your application isn’t a single god function, it also isn’t a set of completely independent operations.  It won’t even heat up when you turn it on because you can’t turn it on. You’ll have "ands" but they should appear where you’re retrieving data from I/O, processing it in the pure functions and then spitting it back out to I/O. "Ands" should be used to wire pieces together.
Documentation
The first thing I do after I finishing writing def frob(a, b, x): is to immediately open a docstring. To me, docstrings are the function, they describe what a function does, what the different parameters are and might even provide example usage or doctests. Below the docstring is just a language specific implementation. (a + b) * x is obvious to the point where you might think, "Do I need a docstring?" The answer is yes.
def calc_frob(a, b, x): """Calculates a frob based on the Frobincator Theorem.""" return (a + b) * x
In addition to giving it a concise name, we’ve also given more information to those that come behind us. Maybe they’re unfamiliar with frobincated mathematics and don’t know the theorem. Now they do.
Now, what I mean about language specific implementation is that even though we can write the same exact function with the same implementation in Haskell, someone could write it like this:
frob a b x = (*) x $ (+) a b
Which looks completely different but does the exact same thing. A simple comment or docstring above it stating, "This is the Frobincator Theorem" makes it’s immediately clear what the function does.
Even better, Python makes it ridiculously easy to look at docstrings without having to open a text editor!
print(calc_frob.__doc__)
Calculates a frob based on the Frobincator Theorem.
You can do that in a script or in the shell. IPython does it one better with the ? and ?? line magicks. ? displays the argument signature (if available) and the docstring if it’s present, along with a few more things. ?? will pull any Python source code (not C/Java/Whatever, just pure Python) available for the function (or class, object, module, etc).
Since Python makes it easy to get to the docstrings, then I can’t think of a valid reason not to write them. And no, "I was lazy" isn’t a valid excuse — even if I’ve used it before.
Another important aspect of documentation is comments. There’s people that will tell you if you have comments, then you’ve done something wrong. I completely disagree with that notion. Consider this field in a SQLAlchemy model:
_trackpositions = db.relationship( 'TrackPosition', backref='tracklist', order_by='TrackPosition.position', collection_class=ordering_list('position'), )
Are you familiar with the collection_class keyword? Or ordering_list? I wasn’t once and chances are, one day someone else who isn’t will stumble across that field, scratch their head and let out an audible "WTF?" before either giving up or looking up the meaning. But with the original comment in place…
_trackpositions = db.relationship( 'TrackPosition', backref='tracklist', # ordering_list will automatically update the position attribute # on the proxied Tracks. However, it must also be fed a correct # inital ordering. order_by='TrackPosition.position', collection_class=ordering_list('position'), )
…the basic intent is communicated. If docstrings are the definition of the function, then comments are just notes on the language specific implementation of it. When you’re using someone else’s code, you can’t just change the name of something, nor does your intent always get cleanly communicated through the code. However, comments allow you to clarify what is meant. They’re also helpful for noting what needs to be improved.
Just real quick, cd over to a project you have and run grep -ir todo . and see what pops out. I have a todo in another project that reads: "#TODO: cleanly handle multiple endpoints" in the context of JSONPath. I didn’t want to spend two hours at the time writing the implementation that would muddy up an otherwise nice looking function and vim is ever so helpful and highlights it an really ugly yellow that I feel the compulsive urge to remove.
This doesn’t mean you should place comments willy nilly all over the place, for example this comment isn’t helpful at all:
def frob(a, b, x): #multiples x by the sum of a and b return (a + b) * x
But when you come across a piece of code you’ve written that maybe needs a little clarification on how it works, then toss a comment on there for mental health’s sake.
However, documentation and comments are no reason not to write…
Clean, Concise Code
This is the final point and the least important of them to me. If you’ve named your function well, avoided doing "And-y" things and you’ve written a nice docstring and some comments, I can stomach poorly written code. I can reason about what it’s supposed to do. However, I do ask you to do your best.
When you actually get around to writing code, remember Einstein’s take on Occam’s Razor: Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. I’m not actually sure if Einstein said that, but it’s widely attributed to him. This is the approach we should take to writing code and it ties in greatly with the "Avoid And" principle and pure functions.
Consider building a basic Markov Chain with a dictionary and lists. There are three ways to ensure a list of words exists at a keyword. The most basic is this:
markov = {} def add_entry(chain, state, new): if state not in chain: chain[state] = [] chain[state].append(new)
However, Python dictionaries have a setdefault method which checks if the key exists already and if not, creates a default entry for it.
markov = {} def add_entry(chain, state, new): chain.setdefault(state, []).append(new)
But by and afar my favorite way to handle this is with collections.defaultdict:
from collections import defaultdict markov = defaultdict(list) def add_entry(chain, state, new): chain[state].append(new)
I’d consider all three clean and concise, and all equally appropriate. However, as much as I love defaultdict the last version doesn’t communicate the full intent that we’re intending to use one. It makes things too simple, whereas the first two communicate that "Hey, this new state might not exist in the chain yet." Though in actual practice, it would depend on how self-contained the actual chains were is how you’d decide which method to us.
Parting Thoughts
Like I said, this stuff is easily extrapolated to classes all the way up to whole applications. And I will also admit that the avoiding ands is largely inspired by the Clean Architecture and Onion Architecture design patterns I’ve been reading about lately, and specifically from Brandon Rhodes’s The Clean Architecture in Python presentation at PyOhio 2014.
If you’ve got some poorly named, undocumented or and-y functions in your projects, I urge you to go and look at them and see what can be changed to help your project. I know not every function name can be changed easily, especially if it shares a name with something or is a common word. But if you can change it easily and it improves your project, why not?
I spilled my brains, spill some of yours.

I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
But I could not hold on to her very long,
So I cut off a-my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild, unknown country where I could not go wrong.
I came to a high place of darkness and light,
Dividing line ran through the center of town,
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went into the laundry to wash my clothes down.
A man in the corner approached me for a match,
I knew right away he was not ordinary,
He said, "Are you looking for something easy to catch?"
Said, "I got no money." He said, "That ain't necessary."
We set out that night for the cold in the north,
I gave him my blanket and he gave me his word,
I said, "Where are we going?" He said we'd be back by the fourth.
I said, "That's the best news that I've ever heard."
I was thinking about turquoise, I was thinking about gold,
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace,
As we rode through the canyons, through the devilish cold,
I was thinking about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless,
How she told me that one day we would meet up again
And things would be different the next time we wed
If I only could a-hang on and just be her friend –
I still can't remember all the best things she said.
We came to the pyramids all embedded in ice,
He said, "There's a body I'm trying to find.
If I carry it out, it'll bring a good price."
'Twas a-then that I knew what he had on his mind.
The wind, it was howling and the snow was outrageous,
We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn.
When he died, I was hoping that it wasn't contagious,
But I made up my mind that I had to go on.
I broke into the tomb, but the casket was empty.
There was no jewels, no nothing! I felt I've been had
When I saw that my partner was just being friendly,
When I took up his offer, I must've been mad.

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied,
Then I rode back to find Isis just to tell her I love her.
She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise,
Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed.
I came in from the east with the sun in my eyes,
I cursed her one time, then I rode on ahead.
She said, "Where you been?" I said, "No place special."
She said, "You look a-different." I said, "Well, I guess."
She said, "You been gone." I said, "That's only natural."
She said, "You gonna stay?" I said, "If you want me to, yes!"


Ian Wright was held at gunpoint after road rage row on team night out
The former Arsenal striker has been announced as one of the contestants on ITV's I'm A Celebrity, which starts on Sunday
by Alex MilneI'm A Celebrity contestant Ian Wright once had a near-death experience after coming face-to-face with a gunman at the end of a Christmas night out at Crystal Palace .
Wright, who was recently announced as one of the stars to take part in this year's edition of the popular ITV show, played for the Eagles between 1985-1991, and had a lucky escape when he was confronted with a firearm after driving home from a Christmas party.
Mark Bright, his strike partner at the time, told the tale in his autobiography Mark Bright: My Story:
"Before Christmas, the players got the chance to relax at a party thrown by Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic company, who were sponsoring our shirts.
"Mitchell Thomas, who was playing for Tottenham and was a big friend of Ian Wright, came along as well.
"He volunteered to be the driver with Ian, Geoff Thomas and me as the passengers.
"It was late as we drove back through pretty deserted streets to my flat.
"At some traffic lights we pulled up alongside a car and we could see a man and a woman having some kind of argument.
"The guy in the other car suddenly looked across and wound his window down. 'What are you looking at?' he shouted at us.
"This was a red rag to a bull for Wrighty. 'What you looking at then?' Ian screamed back at him and, just for good measure, as we pulled away he stuck a finger up at the guy.
"We were still in high spirits, but the laughter soon disappeared when I spotted the other guy was obviously following us.
"Wrighty wasn’t impressed. 'Mitch, pull over,' he said. 'What’s he going to do? There’s four of us.'
"Mitchell dutifully pulled over so the three passengers could get out to confront the guy.
"What are you going to do about it?' Wrighty smirked, but the guy didn’t blink.
"He bent down behind the door of his car, pulled out a gun and pointed the thing straight at us.
"'I’m going to count to five,' said our friend with the gun.  One... two...'
"We were all in shock as poor old Mitch drove as fast as he could to my flat. The bloke must have been a maniac to do what he did, and we all knew maniacs don’t operate in the same way that normal people do.
"When we got to my flat, we virtually fell out of the car because we were desperate to get inside.
"The reality was, we s*** our pants."

Typically a test process involves several test environments at different stages including component (unit), integration, and production. And environment builds on one or more hosts.
You may have built or are going to create scripts to solve various environment-replated problems, like deploying packages, checking the build validity, configuring the environment, launching the automation, etc.
TestMP help you organize, schedule, visualize, and monitor these local / remote scripts, to facilitate the test environment & process management.
At first, there are some related terms:
Adding an environment to TestMP is intuitive: open the 'Test Environment' tab and click the 'New' button. Then input the environment's name and optionally give a url of the reference page on which the environment detail can be found.
Then you can define tasks for this environment: click the 'Tasks' icon of this environment record; on the pop-up window, click the 'New' button; Then input the task name, and optionally set the schedule if you hope it run repeatly and expectedly. The schedule syntax is unix-like but a little different.
By default, the schedule will take effect at most in 600 seconds. You can configure it in the conf/testmp.properties.
A task can have multiple executions at the same time: click the Executions icon of the task record to open the window. Each execution has the following fields:
When adding a new execution record, by default, its Host will be set to "localhost", the host on which TestMP is running. If you want it to be another, you'll need to firstly register that host.
Click the 'Hosts' button on the "Test Environment" tab. For each added new host, the hostname, username, and password are required to setup the SSH connection.
For connection failures, you may want to make sure the host administrator has enabled the "password" authentication method for its SSH configuration.
Besides scheduling the tasks, you can launch them at any time by clicking the 'Run' button of the task record.
By clicking the 'Report' button on the "Test Environment" tab, you will get a summary report about the status of all the test environments shown in list, just like below:
and you can send it as email to the people who are interested in this.


Andy Cohen Announces New Addition To ‘Real Housewives’ Franchise: ‘Real Housewives Of Salt Lake City’
by Brent FurdykGet ready for another group of table-flipping, backstabbing “Real Housewives” with the announcement of a new addition to the franchise — from one of America’s least-likeliest locations.
As the Daily Mail reports, Andy Cohen — who once served as Bravo’s executive VP of development and talent and remains exec producer of all the “Housewives” shows — is hosting the first-ever Bravocon, currently underway in New York City.
Speaking to fans from the stage, the “Watch What Happens Live” host revealed the cable channel’s plans for “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City”.
“We are very excited to travel to Salt Lake City, Utah! The Real Housewives of SLC!” he announced to fans.
“I have to tell you, in Utah, you’ve got the majesty of the mountains. you’ve got the majesty of the Mormon religion, you’ve got an exclusive community of people who have very successful businesses who live in their own universe,” he added. “It is gorgeous and I think you’re going to be really surprised and intrigued by the group of women we’ve found.”
Ahead of the announcement, Cohen and Bravo teased the news on Twitter.
The Salt Lake City edition will join the show that kicked off the franchise, “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, and its numerous followups in locations ranging from Atlanta to Beverly Hills.
In Canada, all the “Real Housewives” shows air exclusively on Slice.

Alicia Rose V Martinez
Democrat
Teacher with the Lewis Palmer School District 38 in Monument, Colorado
BA Romance Languages - Colorado College MA Teaching - Colorado College
80909
My previous political activity has consisted of voting in local and national elections.
Troop Leader at Girl Scouts of Colorado (2018-present) Faculty Advisor for Key Club International (2017-present) Board Member at Adelante Mujer Inc (2017-present) Building Representative Representative for Lewis Palmer School District Accountability Committee (2019-2020) Faculty Representative for Palmer Ridge High School Building Accountability (2017-2019)
As an educator, my daily responsibilities include advocating for my students and their families. One of my essential duties is to provide a space where students can feel they can express themselves, advocate for their own needs, demonstrate their progress in ways that reflect their strengths, and consider the challenges they face as a learner. In addition to working for the interests of a diverse population of students, I also consider the needs of other stakeholders in education- parents/families and my administration. In order to be successful, I consistently serve as a liaison between various (sometimes intersecting,but often disjointed) groups of people in order to best support the interests of many. I have also worked with young people outside of the classroom as a board member of a non-profit organization that promotes leadership development for Latinx youth. Every year we research how to serve our participants to succeed in higher education and their chosen profession. The curriculum we develop considers individual experience, cultural background and access to available resources. The support we offer involves great familiarity with several layers of community ties and kinship. Very often there is a marked generational gap between participants in the program and their guardians; it is imperative to communicate effectively and with transparency with respect to lived experiences and perceptions in order for true progress to be made.
I want to serve on the commission primarily to help represent and advocate for the best truth of the Colorado community. I have lived in Colorado since 2004 and have witnessed incredible transformation in the makeup of this community. The demographics of any place can swiftly change and Colorado is not the same as it was a decade ago- and this needs to be reflected accurately. The best way to get a clear picture of Colorado is by listening to the stories of all those who reside here. Because of my experiences as a teacher in a rapidly developing area and my heavy involvement in the community, I am confident that I can advocate fairly and knowledgeable for a wide base of people.
One of my strengths is my ability to communicate and build relationships. As mentioned earlier, I am a teacher and I have a moral obligation to present myself as neutral, while still advocating for the needs and interests of many- maneuvering between what is expected, needed and desired of the trifecta in education- students, parents, and administrators. It is a constant cycle of communication, diplomacy and mediation to hear their words and attempt to translate so others can hear and consider other viewpoints and teachers often do this daily.
Referring again to my experiences as an educator (both in the classroom and in the community), I use data to inform my teaching. I need to consider not only how well students are progressing, but HOW. My data is taken from formal assessments as well as observations of student behavior. I will reflect on understanding the reasoning for negative and positive outcomes- What can I do differently and what can I keep the same? What is the most efficient way to do this? What is not the most efficient way, but the most equitable way? Will this be accessible to more than just one type of learner? The decisions I make in the classroom are based on quick analysis that is not only flexible or adaptable, but accessible. Not only must I accomplish this quickly, but I also need to do so in such a way that is considerate of the impact it could potentially have on more than one individual or homogenous group of people.

On Chrome OS, the system information field in the feedbackInfo object may also contain relevent data (for example, as of now it is populated with a TIMESTAMP key containing the timestamp of when the user invoked feedback).
The UI first takes a screenshot, then displays itself. It uses the provided API's to get system information and provides the user with fields to fill out feedback.
Once the user is done, the UI uses the sendFeedback API to send the feedback to the feedback servers.
The sendFeedback API gathers the feedback data and starts a post to the feedback servers. If the post is successful, a 'success' status is returned to the Feedback UI, otherwise a 'delayed' status is returned and Chrome continues to try to send the feedback every 4 hours for up to a day.
Note: The feedbackPrivate API can also be used by whitelisted apps to provide a custom feedback UI and send Chrome Feedback. The productId field in the feedbackInfo structure can be given to override the product ID to be sent with the feedback report. This will allow the app to send feedback to it's own feedback bucket instead of the default Chrome [OS] one.


The function Ranadu::plotWAC() calls the standard R function “plot”
with a particular set of conventions. Some reasons you may want to
consider using it include the following:
- [time offset:] The convention in the NCAR/EOL/RAF netCDF files
is that the time variable represents the start of the interval over
which measurements are averaged, so a 1-Hz variable with a specified
time is actually an average where the mean time is 0.5 s later. Plots
generated by plotWAC() adjust for this offset. For this same reason,
you may want to use the routine Ranadu::lineWAC() to add lines to
the plot, instead of the standard “lines” routine provided by
R.
- [plot format:] The set of conventions regarding time labels, axis
formats, and legends may be preferable to those that are standard
with “plot()” and will save you from making those tailoring adjustments.
- [pipe_compatible:] The function plotWAC() can be used in a pipe
where the piped variable is a data.frame tailored to contain specified
variables to construct multiple-variable plots. A similar pipe to
“plot()” will produce a faceted plot of each variable vs. each
other variable, which may not be what you want.
Figure shows an example.

plotWAC(Data[, c('Time', 'GGALT')])

Example of the same plot as the preceding figure but generated with Ranadu::plotWAC().

Another option is provided by Ranadu::ggplotWAC(), as shown in Fig. :

|
ggplotWAC(Data[, c('Time', 'GGALT')])
Figure:
Example of the same plot as the preceding figure but generated with Ranadu::ggplotWAC().

Additional examples showing the advantages of constructing plots with
pipes will be presented in later chapters of this document. For more
information on the use of these plotting routines, see “?Ranadu::plotWAC”
and “?Ranadu::ggplotWAC”.

Denormals-Are-Zeros
Bit 6 (DAZ) of the MXCSR register enables the denormals-are-zeros mode, which controls the processorís response to an SIMD floating-point denormal operand condition. When the denormals-are-zeros flag is set, the processor converts all denormal source operands to a zero with the sign of the original operand before performing any computations on them.

WHAT THE HACK@ MSIT
The Annual hackathon of MSIT
Part of the technical fest
Avensis
January 09-10, 2019
In the context of a hackathon, the word "hack" is used to describe how multiple technologies can be used together in a new
and innovative way. Teams of up to three people work on innovative software and hardware solutions
to real-world problems. These projects range in platform and application, including elements
of web development, mobile applications, drones, and more.
However, many times the most important aspect of a hackathon is the community it generates and
skills that inexperienced hackers walk away with.
See
this for a good explanation.

Values
Aug 8, 2015
What are my values?
- Growth
- Contribution
- Focus
- Health
Do I try to live by these values?
For each of these, on a scale of 1 to 5, how much effort do I put in to live by these values?
- Growth ===> 5
- Contribution ===> 4
- Focus ===> 4
- Health ===> 4
A deeper look at focus
Being focused and clear-headed are very important to me. In my experience, you can always keep improving as long as your are able to hold your mind to a thought for a long period of time. For example, suppose I'm working on a task, and I run into a challenge.  A distracted mind may get lost in self-doubt and then give up.
Advice
A friend of mine was having some issues with his dating life and parents. His parents did not approve of the girl he was dating due to their own stereotype biases. Now my friend comes to me and is upset because his parents won't "allow" him to date this girl. I felt he was not being clear-headed, and I asked him whether it was possible that it was his parents' biases that were the obstacle, or his own? Did he himself buy in to his parents' criticisms? After some reflection, he realized that yes it was his own internal doubt that was the real obstacle.
Values and Stereotype Threat
Yes being clear-headed and focused can help me when I'm at DBC. One exercise that has been helpful for me in this regard is journaling. Whenver I'm feeling stress, I'll journal about it and try to get to the bottom of it.

<♠> Card Fellows is the brainchild of Nicholas Carignan. Our goal is two-fold; we wanted to build a fun website to play Blackjack on, and also teach the basics of Blackjack and the science behind odds based play. With these ingredients we hope that players will have fun playing while similtaneously reinforcing the knowledge that gambling is a dangerous way to try and make money, and should be done for fun and not for proffit.
Nicholas Carignan and Andrew Bloom worked long hours crafting the game code, using Nicholas' knowledge of cards to create a solid virtual version of the game. Jeff Martinez put his experience and skills into the meta-game working on stats tracking and data manipulation functions. Dustin Mundy spent his time crafting art assets for the various pages and building the card elements out of CSS and HTML. </♣>

Special thanks to Sam Hamm, Allie Grampa, Dustin Byers, Amanda Koster, Ron Dunphy and the rest of the CodeFellows staff for guiding us through Code 201. We would never have gotten this far on our own. Thanks to Kerry Nordstrom for the awesome pictures above!</♦>


FORREST GUMP A film review by Derek Miner Copyright 1994 Derek Miner
As a fan of director Robert Zemeckis, I have eagerly anticipated his next directorial effort since DEATH BECOMES HER two years ago. FORREST GUMP lives up to my expectations and surpasses them also. The film tells a genuine and moving story about an amazing character.
FORREST GUMP is the remarkable story of a man (Tom Hanks) who, despite an IQ somewhere in the area of 70, always seems to achieve great success. Forrest's amazing achievements are played out as a humorous gimmick, but they are also part of his involving life story.
The story, as told by Forrest himself, opens in his childhood. Forrest not only is stigmatized by his low intelligence, but he also must wear leg braces because of a crooked back. His caring mother (Sally Field) tries to teach him that despite his problems, he is no different than everyone else. Forrest is befriended by a young girl named Jenny (Robin Wright) who is abused by her father.
A sequence of events thrusts Forrest into the spotlight. Literally shattering his leg braces, Forrest finds that he is an amazing runner, which takes him through college as a football player. Soon after, he enlists in the military, and is sent to Veitnam. In Veitnam, he meets a young black man named Bubba (Mykleti Williamson), whose goal in life is to be a shrimp boat captain. He also meets Captain Dan (Gary Sinise), who eventually becomes legless through a war injury.
The three characters of Jenny, Bubba, and Captain Dan figure the most in Forrest's life direction. But throughout everything, the inborn desire to do right and his love for Jenny are Forrest's motivation. Beyond Veitnam, there's more to Forrest's adventures, but to reveal more would ruin the experience of watching the event's of his life unfold in front of your eyes. To experience such an emotional and involving story is special.
At the heart of FORREST GUMP are a lot of strong performances. Tom Hanks plays Forrest as a friendly sort who you can appreciate, rather than pity, for his innocence because it makes him more of a good person than others with full mental capability. Gary Sinise provides some emotional shift in the film as Captain Dan, who comes out of Vietnam bitter for having lost his limbs rather than his life. Mykleti Williamson's short but important role as Bubba, who is similar to Forrest, is perfect in its simplicity. One can see how Bubba and Forrest latch on to one another, influencing Forrest's direction in life.
At first, FORREST GUMP doesn't appear to be the type of film director Zemeckis (of BACK TO THE FUTURE fame) would tackle, but on close inspection, it remains consistent with his previous work. In almost all his films, Zemeckis recreated a period of time, from February 1964 in I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND, his first film, to 1955 in BACK TO THE FUTURE and even the late 70s in DEATH BECOMES HER. In FORREST GUMP, an entire lifetime is covered, from the early 50s to the early 80s. In between, the character of Forrest is convincingly interwoven into old news and television footage.
It also seems that Zemeckis had an urge to "grow up," so to speak, like colleague Steven Spielberg did with SCHINDLER'S LIST. The humor and pathos in Forrest's life are well-balanced and create a story that the audience can sympathize and identify with. Unlike Zemeckis' previous work in broader comedy, FORREST GUMP tells an intimate story on an epic scale. Also contrary to previous Zemeckis spectacles, special effects are used subtly, most notably to make Gary Sinise appear legless.
FORREST GUMP is not a perfect film nor is it one-of-a-kind. But it is near perfect and not easily equaled. It is instead special, accomplishing an emotional link that many films try, and fail, to attain. FORREST GUMP is a film that entertains yet makes us think, not by forcing the audience to keep up, but by letting us see the world we know through someone else's eyes, the eyes of Forrest Gump.

For any node, e.g. an individual or a resource, the out-links are the connections that the node of interest has to other nodes. For example, imagine an agent by knowledge network where the number of out-links an agent would have is the number of pieces of knowledge it is connected to. The scientific name of this measure is out-degree and it can be calculated on any network.
If the node of interest has a higher than normal value (greater than 1 standard deviation(s) above the mean) the row is colored red. The row is green if the node is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Finally, the row is colored blue if the node has a lower than normal value (less than one standard deviation(s) below the mean).

The number of links directed into a node normalized by the maximum number of such links. This measure is also called Column Degree Centrality because it is computed by taking the sum of the column values in the input network.
If the node of interest has a higher than normal value (greater than 1 standard deviation(s) above the mean) the row is colored red. The row is green if the node is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Finally, the row is colored blue if the node has a lower than normal value (less than one standard deviation(s) below the mean).
