The following is a non-fictional event as accuratley told as I can make it within my human limitations.
As my high school years progressed naturally so did the experiments with drugs. Early into my senior year, some friends and I got into going to the midnight movies in our town. I'd been trying to experience something more then the usual pot and alcohol and shrooms felt like the next step. After multiple failed attempts to get shrooms a friend of mine finally came through for me. With the shrooms decomposing as quickly as they do I was desperate to find an opportunity to use them. Ultimatley I decided that I would eat magic fungus at the next midnight movie, The Song Remains The Same, Led Zeppelin. The the three people I went with, one was my decent friend, the other was an aquantince, and finally there was a girl who I'd just met that night. No one else had ever done shrooms and none of them were up for it. It my blissful ignorance I decided that this just meant more fun for me, big mistake. I ate my shrooms at about 10:30, while my friends smoked a few bowls.
Looking back now, I could see that right from the get-go I was doing bad for myself. Wanting to make sure I didn't fall asleep for the movie, I started by drinking a red bull and eating some peanut chews. Don't get me wrong, peanut chews rock and red bull has its merits. But believe me, red bull and mushshrooms aren't a winning combination. The peanut chews although good sat heavy in my stomach and progressed my brewing stomach ache furtter.
25min later we were driving around killing time and my stomach ache was showing no remorse. I went into a convenience store and bought some ginger ale for my stomach. As I did so I noticed my legs felt like jello. Thankfully it stopped the pain within minutes. As we continued to waste time I noticed a serious increase in my mood. Like a little kid everything was exciting me and my heart was racing. At one point we off-roaded a little bit in this somewhat hidden consrtuction site.
Despite the 5inches of snow I was getting restless and so I got out of the car and played around a bit. My limbs had all become jelloish in nature and made movement and interaction with objects difficult. After this we went to go get pizza. I refrained from eating any as I feared my stomach ache would return. While I sat watching my friends eat I found myself constantly going through my pockets. Between my hat, gloves, cell phone, wallet, and keys I was in trying to find the perfect way to keep things organized.
Finally midnight arrived and we went into the theater. At this point I found that along with the jello sensation and high euphoria I began to move into a state of enlightenment. Right there sitting on a bench while two of our group went to go buy food I came to the realization that things like money and possesions were all trivial aspects of our lives. I asked if my friend would get me a water and when he came back with my 2 dollars in change I refused him.
As we waited for the movie to start a large gathering of people I knew from my school arrived. To be honest I didn't care for them but in my euphoria they became perfectly good companions. The movie started. Things were intense, the volume of the theater felt 10 levels higher then I would expect it to be and the movie's general wackyness didn't help me stay in control. My heart felt like it was going to burst from my chest and I was breathing hard. I couldn't seem to keep my temperature level and kept taking off and putting on my hat and gloves and jacket.
As the movie progressed things were too intense and my body was getting exhausted. I started to dose off in 1-2 minute intervals. Each time having to re-check myself and usually try and find my gloves and hat again. Interestingly when I woke up in this intervals without my hat and gloves by some means I was always able to locate them without any effort. Although I had no recollection of having put them in the seat in front of me, or under me, etc. I still some how knew that they were there. This became the marker of the trips decline.
For reasons unclear, the large group decided they were leaving, this didn't include my friends and I but, in my state I became confused and thought the movie was actually over. It seems laughable now but at the time this was a serious mind-blow. In reality we were actually only about half-way through the movie when I thought it was over. I went over to my friends and told them we should leave. At first they were confused and they just assumed that I was tired and asking them if we could leave.
Since they were also tired we did then decide to leave. The fact that the movie was, in reality, only half-way through greatly destorted my comprehension of time. As we walked out of the theater I suddenly became felt like throwing-up. With no regard for the fact that I wasn't in a bathroom I threw-up on the floor and on my leg. Thats when things got wacked.
Having no knowledge of shrooms and their effects my three companions immediatley assumed I was having a bad trip and needed help. Of course in reality throwing-up was a perfectly natural reaction to the shrooms that was not the big deal they made it out to be. Having now thrown-up I was a little upset because I had puke on my pants but, also happy that it immediatley relieved my nausea. Unfortunately, this is how my companions became both a blessing and a curse.
My friends began bombarding me with questions and comments that only made me feel more upset and fear that something truly bad was going to happen. At that moment a strange notion came over me. My mind had decided that to avoid further depression, it was tune-out. I leaned down on the bench and immediatley closed my eyes. My friends continued to talk and worry but their voices began to drift farther and farther away.
Somewhere in this trance I began believing that I was in complete control of everything that was going on. How I came to this conclusion is unlcear but I think it may have had to do with the way I was able to locate my glove and hat at will earlier. Regardless I what led me to this belief, it wasn't one that a teenager in the middle of a movie theater should be putting faith in.
It took my friends 10 minutes to rouse me from my sleep, which involved trying to pull me up and smacking me. The 100meters walk to the car confused and upset me. I couldn't understand why I needed to bother, I was sure that if I just closed my eyes I'd get home. Considering I was now in the middle of a very intense mind-blowing trip and I had puke on my pants you'd think I would have been worried but instead my belief that I was in control over-rid these fears and left me blissfully unafraid and unaware of the trouble I could be in.
The car ride home was a blur, I only remeber one or two buildings that I was used to seeing.  Somewhere also in the car ride I remembered hearing my friend driving saying something about cops and us being pulled over. I can't remember enough quote him but when someone says that there is a cop on you, you generally worry.
I however, in my dream-state had no worries about such things. The only thing in my mind was my comfy bed sheets. After more blur I suddenly hear a voice move up behind me, it was one of my friends. The voice of my other friend joined in and told me to get out of the car. Failing to comprehend his words I sat there eyes still closed in my visionless trance. Their voices were getting progressivley louder and more exasperated. Before too long they were yelling at me. They threw snow on my face and tried to pull me out of the car and shake me.
This continued to upset me and the more they did it the more upset I got, I kept trying to just turn away and tune them out but their voices kept getting more urgent. Eventully out of anger they grabed me and half-threw me out of the car. All this succeded in doing was leaving me face-down in the snow. The snow was comforting and cool and the initial silence after being thrown gave me hope that perhaps I'd won and these horrible voices had given up.
Of course they came back just as angry as before. Suddenly after 20minutes in the snow I decided that the only way top get rid of what at that point I considered a pair of wailing banshees was to do what they asked. In the same instant I fluidly rose to me feet and began traunching towards my house in what I still consider a blurred trance. The next thing I remember is smacking my face into my plastic panel door. I could hear the banshees(my companions) let out a couple of both angering and at the same time relieving laughs. Again the reality fades and I'm back in my blur.
Next thing I know, I'm in my room in a comfortable pair of scrubs and a different tee-shirt. Then everything goes black again. I kept having relapses of the yelling in my ears. My friends voices felt burned into my memory. The only way to keep them out was to never let myself stay still for more then what felt like about 10 seconds. I tossed and turned for what was about 2 hours in a black void with only flashing visions of the things that I'd been yearning for most from the time I left the theater(my bed, my pillows, my room).
Towards the end of this trance this finally began to calm down. In my trance I found out through some tangent of thought that what has just happened to me was actually a break out of the binding universe. I felt that I had been re-born into a new liberated life, free of the stresses of my past life. I then awoke, it was 3:30a.m. I was in absolute black and at first had no idea were I was. After 20seconds of hard thought I began to touch my face and body to figure out who I was. Finally after a time I turned on my bed lamp and looked around.
I was in my room, it was peaceful but eerily motionless. I felt like being in my room should be comforting but instead it felt strange and un-familiar. I looked around a noticed that my friends were sleeping on the pull out bed next to mine. Like everything else in the room they were completley motionless. Unsure of the events that had transpired sicne the car-ride I went through the multiple scenarios that could've happened. Coming up with nothing I decided to get up and move around.
I looked around my room carefully making sure not to disturb anything. In conjunction with my thoughts of re-birth it crossed my mind that perhaps by some power all the activitey in the world had ceased aside from my own. To test this theory I first used my headphones to turn on music. As I heard the sounds project from the headphones I felt somewhat more relaxed but still suspicious. I went over to my door but hesitated to open it, a fear came over me.
As far as I can guess the door became my symbolic re-entry into the real world. As I swung the door opened one of my cats came walking along the hallway. The sign of life aside form my own was relieving. I continued to explore my house and just as my room had been strange to me my entire house seemed alien. Everything seemed just so slightly out of place. After half an hour of getting used to me house I finally went back to my room and went to sleep.
From reading the experiences of other shroom users and thinking back to the events of that night, I found that re-birth I had experienced was an event that had been identified as evidence of a heavy trip. If for nothing else I recorded the events so that any first-timers can understand. This experience is a prime example of things to be careful of while experimetning with shrooms or hallucinogen.
While reflecting on the incident I also came to the depressing realization that the way my friends acted during my bad trip were all clearly motivated not by my bad trip but really by the fact that they might get in trouble if we got cought. This may sound pressumptuous but, regardless I recommend making sure your first trip is one that occurs in the presence of an experienced and truly good friend.

Bi coffee and Peaberry coffee are two more names for Culi coffee. Culi coffee is known in Spanish as Caracolillo, which means snail. It's possible that the term came from the form of the coffee bean. In reality, this coffee variety includes Arabica and Robusta varietals. Culi, on the other hand, is a collection of mutant coffee berries with just one bean instead of the usual two. Because of this unique trait, each Culi has a greater caffeine content than any other species.
When Culi and Robusta are combined, the outcome is a bitter, richer, fuller, and stronger flavor with more caffeine. When Culi is combined with Arabica, the result is a more exquisite, soft sour flavor as well as a more passionate, seductive scent, bitterness, and caffeine.

The Contrafabulists – Kin Lane and Audrey Watters – monitor predictions that technologists and marketers make about the future of technology. No surprise, most of the predictions are made about AI, a development whose future folks have been predicting incorrectly since the 1950s.
Here are the predictions made this week:
Entrepreneur Magazine has an infographic that details “The Future According to Elon Musk.” It includes his predictions about humans on reusable rockets (by 2018), AI threatening humanity (by 2024), and humans on Mars (by 2025).
“Global Gasoline Demand Could Peak by 2030,” MIT Technology Review predicts.
“The vast majority of us are in jobs with a 50-50 chance of being more in demand or less in demand by 2030”https://t.co/T2hIKVl9YJ
— TimesHigherEducation (@timeshighered) October 15, 2017
Technavio predicts the global market for “competency-based education” will grow by 18% between 2017 and 2021.
“Cloud Computing Market Projected To Reach $411B By 2020,” says Forbes.
“Toyota Says They Will Have Intelligent Talking Cars by 2020,” says Futurism.com.
Via Business Insider: “A Las Vegas hotel mogul plans to send an inflatable space hotel into orbit around the moon by 2022.”
And an evergreen headline from Paleofuture’s Matt Novak: “Bullshit Article About Bullshit Automation Promises Bullshit Life of Leisure.”

Working with your data sources
The Dataset detail tab displays details about a particular dataset.
Features of the Datasets page
- Creating a sandbox from the Data tab
- Exploring the Data tab (basic tasks)
- Working with source datasets and Chorus views
Creating a sandbox from the Data tab
Create a sandbox so that you can access the full feature set associated with the Data tab:
- Hover over and then select the "?" icon next to Import File.
- Using drop-down options, you can select an instance, database, and schema to associate with your sandbox. Each workspace can only be associated with a single sandbox.
Benefits of working with a sandbox
When you create a sandbox, you can then easily import interesting files or datasets from other schemas into your sandbox as your workspace's copy that you are then free to manipulate and transform.
Exploring the Data tab (basic tasks)
If you do not have a sandbox, you can only perform the following basic functions when browsing a data tab:
You can however, still visualize data and create Chorus Views from datasets that have been associated with the workspace.
Working with source datasets and Chorus views
You can perform the following additional tasks when working with source datasets and Chorus views for a workspace that has an associated sandbox.
- Import Now: This option functions only on source tables and views, and on Chorus views. Use it to immediately import a table into a new or existing one. You can only perform this once. You can specify the number that are being imported. If can import the data into an existing sandbox table. You can truncate the data. You must specify the table name from the drop-down list.
- Create import schedule: This automatically imports data into a new or existing table, limit the number of rows, and schedule a start and end time. You can set up a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.

Trac with FastCGI
Since version 0.9, Trac supports being run through the FastCGI interface. Like mod_python, this allows Trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each request. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support SuEXEC. Additionally, it is supported by much wider variety of web servers.
Simple Apache configuration
There are two FastCGI modules commonly available for Apache: mod_fastcgi and mod_fcgid. The FastCgiIpcDir and FastCgiConfig directives discussed below are mod_fastcgi directives; the DefaultInitEnv is a mod_fgcid directive.
For mod_fastcgi, add the following to an appropriate Apache configuration file:
# Enable fastcgi for .fcgi files # (If you're using a distro package for mod_fcgi, something like # this is probably already present) <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi </IfModule> LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
Setting FastCgiIpcDir is optional if the default is suitable. Note that the LoadModule line must be after the IfModule group.
Configure ScriptAlias or similar options as described in TracCgi, but calling trac.fcgi instead of trac.cgi.
You can set up the TRAC_ENV as an overall default:
FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV=/path/to/env/trac
Or you can serve multiple Trac projects in a directory like:
FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR=/parent/dir/of/projects
But neither of these will work for mod_fcgid. A similar but partial solution for mod_fcgid is:
DefaultInitEnv TRAC_ENV /path/to/env/trac/
But this cannot be used in Directory or Location context, which makes it difficult to support multiple projects.
A better method which works for both of these modules (and for lighttpd and CGI as well), because it involves no server configuration settings for environment variables, is to set one of the variables in trac.fcgi, e.g.:
import os os.environ['TRAC_ENV'] = "/path/to/projectenv"
or
import os os.environ['TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR'] = "/path/to/project/parent/dir"
Using this method, different projects can be supported by using different .fcgi scripts with different ScriptAliases, copying and appropriately renaming trac.fcgi and adding the above code to create each such script.
Simple Lighttpd Configuration
The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as lighttpd.
lighttpd is a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server that has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other web servers and takes care of CPU load.
For using trac.fcgi with lighttpd add the following to your lighttpd.conf:
fastcgi.server = ("/trac" => ("trac" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv") ) ) )
Note that you will need to add a new entry to fastcgi.server for each separate Trac instance that you wish to run. Alternatively, you may use the TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR variable instead of TRAC_ENV as described above, and you may set one of the two in trac.fcgi instead of in lighttpd.conf using bin-environment (as in the section above on Apache configuration).
For using two projects with lighttpd add the following to your lighttpd.conf:
fastcgi.server = ("/first" => ("first" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi-first.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv-first") ) ), "/second" => ("second" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi-second.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv-second") ) ) )
Note that field values are different. If you prefer setting the environment variables in the .fcgi scripts, then copy/rename trac.fcgi, e.g., to first.fcgi and second.fcgi, and reference them in the above settings. Note that the above will result in different processes in any event, even if both are running from the same trac.fcgi script.
Note from c00i90wn: It's very important the order on which server.modules are loaded, if mod_auth is not loaded BEFORE mod_fastcgi, then the server will fail to authenticate the user.
For authentication you should enable mod_auth in lighttpd.conf 'server.modules', select auth.backend and auth rules:
server.modules = ( ... "mod_auth", ... ) auth.backend = "htpasswd" # Separated password files for each project # See "Conditional Configuration" in # http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/file/branches/lighttpd-merge-1.4.x/doc/configuration.txt $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/first/" { auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/projenv-first/htpasswd.htaccess" } $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/second/" { auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/projenv-second/htpasswd.htaccess" } # Enable auth on trac URLs, see # http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/file/branches/lighttpd-merge-1.4.x/doc/authentication.txt auth.require = ("/first/login" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "First project", "require" => "valid-user" ), "/second/login" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "Second project", "require" => "valid-user" ) )
Note that lighttpd (I use version 1.4.3) stopped if password file doesn't exist.
Note that lighttpd doesn't support 'valid-user' in versions prior to 1.3.16.
Conditional configuration is also useful for mapping static resources, i.e. serving out images and CSS directly instead of through FastCGI:
# Aliasing functionality is needed server.modules += ("mod_alias") # Setup an alias for the static resources alias.url = ("/trac/chrome/common" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs") # Use negative lookahead, matching all requests that ask for any resource under /trac, EXCEPT in # /trac/chrome/common, and use FastCGI for those $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac(?!/chrome/common)" { # Even if you have other fastcgi.server declarations for applications other than Trac, do NOT use += here fastcgi.server = ("/trac" => ("trac" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv") ) ) ) }
The technique can be easily adapted for use with multiple projects by creating aliases for each of them, and wrapping the fastcgi.server declarations inside conditional configuration blocks. Also there is another way to handle multiple projects and it's to use TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR instead of TRAC_ENV and use global auth, let's see an example:
# This is for handling multiple projects alias.url = ( "/trac/" => "/path/to/trac/htdocs/" ) fastcgi.server += ("/projects" => ("trac" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/trac.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/path/to/parent/dir/of/projects/" ) ) ) ) #And here starts the global auth configuration auth.backend = "htpasswd" auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/path/to/unique/htpassword/file/trac.htpasswd" $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/projects/.*/login$" { auth.require = ("/" => ( "method" => "basic", "realm" => "trac", "require" => "valid-user" ) ) }
Changing date/time format also supported by lighttpd over environment variable LC_TIME
fastcgi.server = ("/trac" => ("trac" => ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv", "LC_TIME" => "ru_RU") ) ) )
For details about languages specification see TracFaq? question 2.13.
Other important information like this updated TracInstall page, and this are useful for non-fastcgi specific installation aspects.
If you use trac-0.9, read about small bug
Relaunch lighttpd, and browse to http://yourhost.example.org/trac to access Trac.
Note about running lighttpd with reduced permissions:
If nothing else helps and trac.fcgi doesn't start with lighttpd settings server.username = "www-data", server.groupname = "www-data", then in the bin-environment section set PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to the home directory of www-data or some other directory accessible to this account for writing.
Simple LiteSpeed? Configuration
The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as LiteSpeed.
LiteSpeed? web server is an event-driven asynchronous Apache replacement designed from the ground-up to be secure, scalable, and operate with minimal resources. LiteSpeed? can operate directly from an Apache config file and is targeted for business-critical environments.
Setup
1) Please make sure you have first have a working install of a Trac project. Test install with “tracd” first.
2) Create a Virtual Host for this setup. From now on we will refer to this vhost as TracVhost?. For this tutorial we will be assuming that your trac project will be accessible via:
http://yourdomain.com/trac/
3) Go “TracVhost? → External Apps” tab and create a new “External Application”.
Name: MyTracFCGI Address: uds://tmp/lshttpd/mytracfcgi.sock Max Connections: 10 Environment: TRAC_ENV=/fullpathto/mytracproject/ <--- path to root folder of trac project Initial Request Timeout (secs): 30 Retry Timeout (secs): 0 Persistent Connection Yes Connection Keepalive Timeout: 30 Response Bufferring: No Auto Start: Yes Command: /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi <--- path to trac.fcgi Back Log: 50 Instances: 10
4) Optional. If you need to use htpasswd based authentication. Go to “TracVhost? → Security” tab and create a new security “Realm”.
DB Type: Password File Realm Name: MyTracUserDB <--- any name you wish and referenced later User DB Location: /fullpathto/htpasswd <--- path to your htpasswd file
If you don’t have a htpasswd file or don’t know how to create the entries within one, go to http://sherylcanter.com/encrypt.php, to generate the user:password combos.
5) Go to “PythonVhost? → Contexts” and create a new “FCGI Context”.
URI: /trac/ <--- URI path to bind to python fcgi app we created Fast CGI App: [VHost Level] MyTractFCGI <--- select the trac fcgi extapp we just created Realm: TracUserDB <--- only if (4) is set. select ream created in (4)
6) Modify /fullpathto/mytracproject/conf/trac.ini
#find/set base_rul, url, and link variables base_url = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- base url to generate correct links to url = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- link of project link = http://yourdomain.com/trac/ <--- link of graphic logo
7) Restart LiteSpeed?, “lswsctrl restart”, and access your new Trac project at:
http://yourdomain.com/trac/

HTTP Ontology: Description back to ToC
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is, together with the logical addressing
(URI) and HTML, the basic building block of the Web. While HTTP remains at the
heart of Web development, current enterprise information systems also use it
routinely for exchanges between heterogeneous programs: to this aim, all is
needed is an HTTP server on the one side and an HTTP client on the
other. Despite its apparent simplicity, the HTTP protocol is quite large, it
covers all aspects of client-server communications, while keeping it open for
potential evolutions. The size of the HTTP 1.1 specification which consists
currently in 8 IETF RFCs, refined and extended by other RFCs, demonstrates that
fact. This specification defines constraints that impact not only the
implementers of Web Servers but also application developers that are
implementing request handlers: they need to ensure that their request handlers
conform to the semantics of HTTP. Our goal is to formalize the HTTP
specification to be able to describe Web interactions in a sufficiently precise
way for enabling a mechanized verification of protocol conformance. Since the
beginning of the Web, various proposals have been made to describe interactions
between Web clients and a Web server, with different means and objectives. Many
of them are "machine-readable" but are limited to the syntactic level and do
not rely on an ontological description of HTTP interactions. The main
difficulty when describing Web interactions consists in taking into account the
presence of hypermedia links in the representation of the Web resources. The
point is that HTTP mixes the data and the control over that data. This makes
things easy for humans (developers) to interact with. However it is hard to
describe it formally, and it is still difficult for machines to interact
robustly when using it.
The proposed ontology is a work in progress, compared to W3C HTTP Vocabulary in
RDF it addresses the following challenges:
1. HTTP message headers represent an associative array with heterogeneous value
types: we provide a way to describe headers in a generic manner while
enabling to express more precisions for specific ones such as the Location
header whose value is linked to a new resource.
2. HTTP allows the usage of various representation formats in the body payload
by making use of Media Type declarations. This variability is required for
HTTP genericity, but it makes it difficult to formalize the interaction
aspect of the protocol regarding the exchanged content: we propose a way to
describe uniformly both the data and meta-data of messages for a subset of
the allowed content types.
3. URIs primary goal is to identify a resource, however in the context of Web
APIs the optional query part of the URI is extensively used to parameterize
the behavior of the server request handler. We define a set of properties
that can be used to represent the various parts of an URI, in particular
query parameters.

java.lang.Object org.simpleframework.util.parse.Parser org.simpleframework.http.parse.PrincipalParser
public class PrincipalParser
PrincipalParser is a parser class for the HTTP basic authorization
header. It decodes the base64
encoding of the user and
password pair.
This follows the parsing tree of RFC 2617. The goal of this parser
is to decode the base64
encoding of the user name and
password. After the string has been decoded then the user name and
password are extracted. This will only parse headers that are from
the Basic
authorization scheme. The format of the basic
scheme can be found in RFC 2617 and is of the form
Basic SP base64-encoding.

Getting started¶
Installation¶
With only a couple days to spend on this rich, challenging material, it would be a shame to waste time troubleshooting IT and program installation issues. For this reason we recommend installing Docker, and then installing the Linux Tensorflow Docker image. See the steps below for this straightforward installation process.
Docker¶
Installation directions for your operating system:
Tensorflow¶
Tensorflow introduction slides.
We’ll all be installing the same docker image that also mounts a data storage volume:
$ docker run -it --name tf_container --mount source=tf_volume,target=/notebooks -p 8888:8888 gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-py3
If you have follow-up questions see the directions here.
The workshop uses data and examples that should train quickly enough without a GPU. Even if you have a GPU please use the image above.
Moving files in/out of your volume¶
Workshop notebooks and data will be added as the course proceeds. You can copy needed files into your docker volume using the docker cp command:
$ docker cp <file> tf_container:/notebooks
To copy files that are in the volume to a desired directory, navigate to that directory and reverse the order of the arguments above.


Text alternatives, [WCAG] are a primary way of making visual information accessible, because they can be rendered through any sensory modality (for example, visual, auditory or tactile) to match the needs of the user. Providing text alternatives allows the information to be rendered in a variety of ways by a variety of user agents. For example, a person who cannot see a picture can have the text alternative read aloud using synthesized speech.
The alt
attribute on images is a very important accessibility attribute.
Authoring useful alt
attribute content requires the author to carefully consider the context in
which the image appears and the function that image may have in that context. The guidance included
here addresses the most common ways authors use images. Additional guidance and techniques are available in Resources on Alternative Text for Images.
Except where otherwise specified, the alt
attribute must be specified and its value must not be empty;
the value must be an appropriate functional replacement for the image. The specific requirements for the alt
attribute content
depend on the image's function in the page, as described in the following sections.
To determine an appropriate text alternative it is important to think about why an image is being included in a page. What is its purpose? Thinking like this will help you to understand what is important about the image for the intended audience. Every image has a reason for being on a page, because it provides useful information, performs a function, labels an interactive element, enhances aesthetics or is purely decorative. Therefore, knowing what the image is for, makes writing an appropriate text alternative easier.
When an a
element that is a hyperlink, or a button
element, has no text content
but contains one or more images, include text in the alt
attribute(s) that together convey the purpose of the link or button.
In this example, a portion of an editor interface is displayed. Each button has an icon representing an action a user can take on content they are editing. For users who cannot view the images, the action names are included within the alt
attributes of the images:

<button></button>

<button></button>

<button></button>

<button></button>

<button></button>

In this example, a link contains a logo. The link points to the W3C web site from an external site. The text alternative is a brief description of the link target.

This example is the same as the previous example, except that the link is on the W3C web site. The text alternative is a brief description of the link target.

Depending on the context in which an image of a logo is used it could be appropriate to provide an indication, as part of the text alternative, that the image is a logo. Refer to section <IP_ADDRESS>.19 Logos, insignia, flags, or emblems.
In this example, a link contains a print preview icon. The link points to a version of the page with a print stylesheet applied. The text alternative is a brief description of the link target.

In this example, a button contains a search icon. The button submits a search form. The text alternative is a brief description of what the button does.
<button>  </button>
In this example, a company logo for the PIP Corporation has been split into the following two images,
the first containing the word PIP and the second with the abbreviated word CO. The images are the
sole content of a link to the PIPCO home page. In this case a brief description of the link target is provided.
As the images are presented to the user as a single entity the text alternative PIP CO home is in the
alt
attribute of the first image.

Users can benefit when content is presented in graphical form, for example as a flowchart, a diagram, a graph, or a map showing directions. Users also benefit when content presented in a graphical form is also provided in a textual format, these users include those who are unable to view the image (e.g. because they have a very slow connection, or because they are using a text-only browser, or because they are listening to the page being read out by a hands-free automobile voice Web browser, or because they have a visual impairment and use an assistive technology to render the text to speech).
In the following example we have an image of a pie chart, with text in the alt
attribute
representing the data shown in the pie chart:

In the case where an image repeats the previous paragraph in graphical form. The alt
attribute content labels the image.

According to a recent study Firefox has a 40% browser share, Internet Explorer has 25%, Chrome has 25%, Safari has 6% and Opera has 4%.

It can be seen that when the image is not available, for example because the src
attribute value is incorrect, the text alternative provides the user with a brief description of the image content:
In cases where the text alternative is lengthy, more than a sentence or two, or would benefit from
the use of structured markup, provide a brief description or label using the alt
attribute, and an associated text alternative.
Here's an example of a flowchart image, with a short text alternative
included in the alt
attribute, in this case the text alternative is a description of the link target
as the image is the sole content of a link. The link points to a description, within the same document, of the
process represented in the flowchart.

Dealing with a broken lamp

Check if it's plugged in, if not, plug it in.

If it still doesn't work; check if the bulb is burned out. If it is, replace the bulb.

If it still doesn't work; buy a new lamp.

In this example, there is an image of a chart. It would be inappropriate to provide the information depicted in
the chart as a plain text alternative in an alt
attribute as the information is a data set. Instead a
structured text alternative is provided below the image in the form of a data table using the data that is represented
in the chart image.
Indications of the highest and lowest rainfall for each season have been included in the table, so trends easily identified in the chart are also available in the data table.
| United Kingdom | Japan | Australia | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5.3 (highest) | 2.4 | 2 (lowest) |
| Summer | 4.5 (highest) | 3.4 | 2 (lowest) |
| Autumn | 3.5 (highest) | 1.8 | 1.5 (lowest) |
| Winter | 1.5 (highest) | 1.2 | 1 (lowest) |

Summer 4.5 (highest)3.42 (lowest)

Autumn 3.5 (highest) 1.8 1.5 (lowest)

Winter 1.5 (highest) 1.2 1 lowest

The figure
element is used to group the Bar Chart image and data table.
The figcaption
element provides a caption for the grouped content.
For any of the examples in this section the details
and summary
elements could be used so that the text descriptions for the images are only displayed on demand:

   Dealing with a broken lamp

Check if it's plugged in, if not, plug it in.

If it still doesn't work; check if the bulb is burned out. If it is, replace the bulb.

If it still doesn't work; buy a new lamp.

The details
and summary
elements are not currently well supported by browsers, until such times they are supported, if used, you will need to use scripting to provide the functionality. There are a number of scripted Polyfills and scripted custom controls available, in popular JavaScript UI widget libraries, which provide similar functionality.
Sometimes, an image only contains text, and the purpose of the image
is to display text using visual effects and /or fonts. It is strongly
recommended that text styled using CSS be used, but if this is not possible, provide
the same text in the alt
attribute as is in the image.
This example shows an image of the text "Get Happy!" written in a fancy multi colored freehand style. The image makes up the content of a heading. In this case the text alternative for the image is "Get Happy!".

In this example we have an advertising image consisting of text, the phrase "The BIG sale" is repeated 3 times, each time the text gets smaller and fainter, the last line reads "...ends Friday" In the context of use, as an advertisement, it is recommended that the image's text alternative only include the text "The BIG sale" once as the repetition is for visual effect and the repetition of the text for users who cannot view the image is unnecessary and could be confusing.

In situations where there is also a photo or other graphic along with the image of text, ensure that the words in the image text are included in the text alternative, along with any other description of the image that conveys meaning to users who can view the image, so the information is also available to users who cannot view the image.
When an image is used to represent a character that cannot otherwise be represented in Unicode, for example gaiji, itaiji, or new characters such as novel currency symbols, the text alternative should be a more conventional way of writing the same thing, e.g. using the phonetic hiragana or katakana to give the character's pronunciation.
In this example from 1997, a new-fangled currency symbol that looks like a curly E with two bars in the middle instead of one is represented using an image. The alternative text gives the character's pronunication.
Only 5.99!

Only 5.99!
An image should not be used if Unicode characters would serve an identical purpose. Only when the text cannot be directly represented using Unicode, e.g. because of decorations or because the character is not in the Unicode character set (as in the case of gaiji), would an image be appropriate.
If an author is tempted to use an image because their default system font does not support a given character, then Web Fonts are a better solution than images.
An illuminated manuscript might use graphics for some of its letters. The text alternative in such a situation is just the character that the image represents.
nce upon a time and a long long time ago...

nce upon a time and a long long time ago...
Sometimes, an image consists of a graphics such as a chart and associated text. In this case it is recommended that the text in the image is included in the text alternative.
Consider an image containing a pie chart and associated text. It is recommended wherever possible to provide any associated text as text, not an image of text. If this is not possible include the text in the text alternative along with the pertinent information conveyed in the image.

Here's another example of the same pie chart image,
showing a short text alternative included in the alt
attribute
and a longer text alternative in text. The figure
and figcaption
elements are used to associate the longer text alternative with the image. The alt
attribute is used
to label the image.

Figure 1. Distribution of Articles by Journal Category. Pie chart: Language=68%, Education=14% and Science=18%.

The advantage of this method over the previous example is that the text alternative
is available to all users at all times. It also allows structured mark up to be used in the text
alternative, where as a text alternative provided using the alt
attribute does not.
An image that isn't discussed directly by the surrounding text but still has
some relevance can be included in a page using the img
element. Such images
are more than mere decoration, they may augment the themes or subject matter of the page
content and so still form part of the content. In these cases, it is recommeneded that a
text alternative be provided.
Here is an example of an image closely related to the subject matter of the page content
but not directly discussed. An image of a painting inspired by a poem, on a page reciting that poem.
The following snippet shows an example. The image is a painting titled the "Lady of Shallot", it is
inspired by the poem and its subject matter is derived from the poem. Therefore it is strongly
recommended that a text alternative is provided. There is a short description of the content of
the image in the alt
attribute and
a link below the image to a longer description located at the bottom of the document. At the end
of the longer description there is also a link to further information about the painting.

Description of the painting.
  ... ... ...
The woman in the painting is wearing a flowing white dress.  In her right hand she holds the chain mooring the boat. Her expression is mournful.  Beside it are three candles. Two have blown out. Further information about the painting.

This example illustrates the provision of a text alternative identifying an image as a photo of the main subject of a page.

Robin Berjon

What more needs to be said?

In many cases, the image is actually just supplementary, and its presence merely reinforces the
surrounding text. In these cases, the alt
attribute must be
present but its value must be the empty string.
In general, an image falls into this category if removing the image doesn't make the page any less useful, but including the image makes it a lot easier for users of visual browsers to understand the concept.
It is not always easy to write a useful text alternative for an image, another option is to provide a link to a description or further information about the image when one is available.
In this example of the same image, there is a short text alternative included in the alt
attribute, and
there is a link after the image. The link points to a page containing information about the painting.

About this painting.

Purely decorative images are visual enhancements, decorations or embellishments that provide no function or information beyond aesthetics to users who can view the images.
Mark up purely decorative images so they can be ignored by assistive technology by using an empty alt
attribute (alt=""
). While it is not unacceptable to include decorative images inline,
it is recommended if they are purely decorative to include the image using CSS.
Here's an example of an image being used as a decorative banner for a person's blog, the image offers no information
and so an empty alt
attribute is used.
Clara's Blog
Welcome to my blog...

Clara's Blog

Welcome to my blog...

When images are used inline as part of the flow of text in a sentence, provide a word or phrase as a text alternative which makes sense in the context of the sentence it is apart of.
I you.
I  you.
My breaks.
My  breaks.
When a picture has been sliced into smaller image files that are then displayed
together to form the complete picture again, include a text alternative for one
of the images using the alt
attribute as per the relevant relevant
guidance for the picture as a whole, and then include an empty alt
attribute on the other images.
In this example, a picture representing a company logo for the PIP Corporation
has been split into two pieces, the first containing the letters "PIP" and the second with the word "CO".
The text alternatve PIP CO is in the alt
attribute of the first image.

In the following example, a rating is shown as three filled
stars and two empty stars. While the text alternative could have
been "★★★☆☆", the author has
instead decided to more helpfully give the rating in the form "3
out of 5". That is the text alternative of the first image, and the
rest have empty alt
attributes.

Rating: <meter max=5 value=3>    </meter>

img
element has a usemap
attribute which references a map
element containing
area
elements that have href
attributes, the img
is considered to be interactive content.
In such cases, always provide a text alternative for the image using the alt
attribute.
Consider the following image which is a map of Katoomba, it has 2 interactive regions corresponding to the areas of North and South Katoomba:
The text alternative is a brief description of the image. The alt
attribute on each
of the area
elements provides text describing the content of the target page of each linked region:

View houses for sale in North Katoomba or South Katoomba:

 <map name="Map"> <area shape="poly" coords="78,124,124,10,189,29,173,93,168,132,136,151,110,130" href="north.html" alt="Houses in North Katoomba"> <area shape="poly" coords="66,63,80,135,106,138,137,154,167,137,175,133,144,240,49,223,17,137,17,61" alt="Houses in South Katoomba" href="south.html"> </map>
Generally, image maps should be used instead of slicing an image for links.
Sometimes, when you create a composite picture from multiple images, you may wish to
link one or more of the images. Provide an alt
attribute
for each linked image to describe the purpose of the link.
In the following example, a composite picture is used to represent a "crocoduck"; a fictional creature which defies evolutionary principles by being part crocodile and part duck.  The creature seems angry! Perhaps some friendly stroking will help to calm it, but be careful not to stroke any crocodile parts. This would just enrage the beast further.

Images of pictures or graphics include visual representations of objects, people, scenes, abstractions, etc. This non-text content, [WCAG] can convey a significant amount of information visually or provide a specific sensory experience, [WCAG] to a sighted person. Examples include photographs, paintings, drawings and artwork.
An appropriate text alternative for a picture is a brief description, or name [WCAG]. As in all text alternative authoring decisions, writing suitable text alternatives for pictures requires
human judgment. The text value is subjective to the context where the image is used and the page author's writing style. Therefore,
there is no single 'right' or 'correct' piece of alt
text for any particular image. In addition to providing a short text
alternative that gives a brief description of the non-text content, also providing supplemental content through another means when
appropriate may be useful.
This first example shows an image uploaded to a photo-sharing site. The photo is of a cat, sitting in the bath. The image has a
text alternative provided using the img
element's alt
attribute. It also has a caption provided by including
the img
element in a figure
element and using a figcaption
element to identify the caption text.
Lola prefers a bath to a shower.

Lola prefers a bath to a shower.

This example is of an image that defies a complete description, as the subject of the image is open to interpretation.
The image has a text alternative in the alt
attribute which gives users who cannot view the image a sense
of what the image is. It also has a caption provided by including the img
element in a figure
element and using a figcaption
element to identify the caption text.

Webcam images are static images that are automatically updated periodically. Typically the images are from a fixed viewpoint, the images may update on the page automatically as each new image is uploaded from the camera or the user may be required to refresh the page to view an updated image. Examples include traffic and weather cameras.
This example is fairly typical; the title and a time stamp are included in the image, automatically generated
by the webcam software. It would be better if the text information was not included in the image, but as it is part
of the image, include it as part of the text alternative. A caption is also provided using the figure
and figcaption
elements. As the image is provided to give a visual indication of the current weather near a building,
a link to a local weather forecast is provided, as with automatically generated and uploaded webcam images it may be impractical to
provide such information as a text alternative.
The text of the alt
attribute includes a prose version of the timestamp, designed to make the text more
understandable when announced by text to speech software. The text alternative also includes a description of some aspects
of what can be seen in the image which are unchanging, although weather conditions and time of day change.

In some cases an image is included in a published document, but the author is unable to provide an appropriate text alternative.
In such cases the minimum requirement is to provide a caption for the image using the figure
and figcaption
elements under the following conditions:
In other words, the only content of the figure
is an img
element and a figcaption
element, and the figcaption
element must include (caption) content.
Such cases are to be kept to an absolute
minimum. If there is even the slightest possibility of the author
having the ability to provide real alternative text, then it would
not be acceptable to omit the alt
attribute.
In this example, a person uploads a photo, as part of a bulk upoad of many images, to a photo sharing site. The user has not provided a text alternative or a caption for the image. The site's authoring tool inserts a caption automatically using whatever useful information it has for the image. In this case it's the file name and date the photo was taken.
The caption text in the example below is not a suitable text alternative and is not conforming to the Web Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. [WCAG]
clara.jpg, taken on 12/11/2010.

clara.jpg, taken on 12/11/2010.

Notice that even in this example, as much useful information
as possible is still included in the figcaption
element.
In this second example, a person uploads a photo to a photo sharing site. She has provided
a caption for the image but not a text alternative. This may be because the site does not provide users with the ability
to add a text alternative in the alt
attribute.

Sometimes the entire point of the image is that a textual description is not available, and the user is to provide the description. For example, software that displays images and asks for alternative text precisely for the purpose of then writing a page with correct alternative text. Such a page could have a table of images, like this:

  Image  Description

Image 640 by 100, filename 'banner.gif'

  <input name="alt2421">

Image 200 by 480, filename 'ad3.gif'

  <input name="alt2422">

Since some users cannot use images at all (e.g. because they are blind) the
alt
attribute is only allowed to be omitted when no text
alternative is available and none can be made available, as in the above examples.
Generally authors should avoid using img
elements
for purposes other than showing images.
If an img
element is being used for purposes other
than showing an image, e.g. as part of a service to count page
views, use an empty alt
attribute.
An example of an img
element used to collect web page statistics.
The alt
attribute is empty as the image has no meaning.

It is recommended for the example use above the width
and
height
attributes be set to zero.
Another example use is when an image such as a spacer.gif is used to aid positioning of content.
The alt
attribute is empty as the image has no meaning.

It is recommended that that CSS be used to position content instead of img
elements.
An icon is usually a simple picture representing a program, action, data file or a concept. Icons are intended to help users of visual browsers to recognize features at a glance.
Use an empty alt
attribute when an icon is supplemental to
text conveying the same meaning.
In this example, we have a link pointing to a site's home page, the link contains a
house icon image and the text "home". The image has an empty alt
text.
Where images are used in this way, it would also be appropriate to add the image using CSS
Home
#home:before { content: url(home.png); } Home
In this example, there is a warning message, with a warning icon. The word "Warning!" is in emphasized
text next to the icon. As the information conveyed by the icon is redundant the img
element is given an an empty alt
attribute.
Warning! Your session is about to expire.

 Warning! Your session is about to expire

When an icon conveys additional information not available in text, provide a text alternative.
In this example, there is a warning message, with a warning icon. The icon emphasizes the importance of the message and identifies it as a particular type of content.
Your session is about to expire.

 Your session is about to expire

Many pages include logos, insignia, flags, or emblems, which stand for a company, organization, project, band, software package, country, or other entity. What can be considered as an appropriate text alternative depends upon, like all images, the context in which the image is being used and what function it serves in the given context.
If a logo is the sole content of a link, provide a brief description of the link target in the alt
attribute.
This example illustrates the use of the HTML5 logo as the sole content of a link to the HTML specification.

If a logo is being used to represent the entity, e.g. as a page heading, provide the name of the entity being represented by the logo as the text alternative.
This example illustrates the use of the WebPlatform.org logo being used to represent itself.
and other developer resources

 and other developer resources

The text alternative in the example above could also include the word "logo" to describe the type of image content.
If so, it is suggested that square brackets be used to delineate this information: alt="[logo] WebPlatform.org"
.
If a logo is being used next to the name of the what that it represents, then the logo is supplemental.
Include an empty alt
attribute as the text alternative is already provided.
This example illustrates the use of a logo next to the name of the organization it represents.
WebPlatform.org
 WebPlatform.org
If the logo is used alongside text discussing the subject or entity the logo represents, then provide a text alternative which describes the logo.
This example illustrates the use of a logo next to text discussing the subject the logo represents.
HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web, a core technology of the Internet. It is the latest revision of the HTML standard (originally created in 1990 and most recently standardized as HTML4 in 1997) and currently remains under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers etc.).

 Information about HTML5
CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". CAPTCHA images are used for security purposes to confirm that content is being accessed by a person rather than a computer. This authentication is done through visual verification of an image. CAPTCHA typically presents an image with characters or words in it that the user is to re-type. The image is usually distorted and has some noise applied to it to make the characters difficult to read.
To improve the accessibility of CAPTCHA provide text alternatives that identify and describe the purpose of the image, and provide alternative forms of the CAPTCHA using output modes for different types of sensory perception. For instance provide an audio alternative along with the visual image. Place the audio option right next to the visual one. This helps but is still problematic for people without sound cards, the deaf-blind, and some people with limited hearing. Another method is to include a form that asks a question along with the visual image. This helps but can be problematic for people with cognitive impairments.
It is strongly recommended that alternatives to CAPTCHA be used, as all forms of CAPTCHA introduce unacceptable barriers to entry for users with disabilities. Further information is available in Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA.
This example shows a CAPTCHA test which uses a distorted image of text. The text alternative in the
alt
attribute provides instructions for a user in the case where she cannot access the image content.
Example code:

picture
elementThe picture
element and any source
elements it contains have no semantics for users,
only the img
element or its text alternative is displayed to users. Provide a text alternative for an
img
element without regard to it being within a picture
element. Refer to
Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images for more information on how to provide
useful alt
text for images.
Art directed images that rely on picture
need to depict
the same content (irrespective of size, pixel density, or any other discriminating factor). Therefore the appropriate
text alternative for an image will always be the same irrespective of which source file ends up being chosen by the browser.

Is it a ghost?
 <picture> <source media="(min-width: 32em)" srcset="large.jpg">  </picture>
The large and small versions (both versions are displayed for demonstration purposes) of
the image portray the same scene: Reflection of a girls face in a train window,
while the small version (displayed on smaller screens) is cropped, this does not effect the subject matter
or the appropriateness of the alt
text.
Markup generators (such as WYSIWYG authoring tools) should, wherever possible, obtain a text alternative from their users. However, it is recognized that in many cases, this will not be possible.
For images that are the sole contents of links, markup generators should examine the link target to determine the title of the target, or the URL of the target, and use information obtained in this manner as the text alternative.
For images that have captions, markup generators should use the
figure
and figcaption
elements to provide the
image's caption.
As a last resort, implementors should either set the alt
attribute to the empty string, under
the assumption that the image is a purely decorative image that
doesn't add any information but is still specific to the surrounding
content, or omit the alt
attribute
altogether, under the assumption that the image is a key part of the
content.
Markup generators may specify a generator-unable-to-provide-required-alt
attribute on img
elements for which they have been
unable to obtain a text alternative and for which they have therefore
omitted the alt
attribute. The
value of this attribute must be the empty string. Documents
containing such attributes are not conforming, but conformance
checkers will silently
ignore this error.
This is intended to avoid markup generators from
being pressured into replacing the error of omitting the alt
attribute with the even more
egregious error of providing phony text alternatives, because
state-of-the-art automated conformance checkers cannot distinguish
phony text alternatives from correct text alternatives.
Markup generators should generally avoid using the image's own file name as the text alternative. Similarly, markup generators should avoid generating text alternatives from any content that will be equally available to presentation user agents (e.g. Web browsers).
This is because once a page is generated, it will typically not be updated, whereas the browsers that later read the page can be updated by the user, therefore the browser is likely to have more up-to-date and finely-tuned heuristics than the markup generator did when generating the page.
A conformance checker must report the lack of an alt
attribute as an error unless one of
the conditions listed below applies:
The img
element is in a figure
element that satisfies the
conditions described above.
The img
element has a (non-conforming) generator-unable-to-provide-required-alt
attribute whose value is the empty string. A conformance checker
that is not reporting the lack of an alt
attribute as an error must also not
report the presence of the empty generator-unable-to-provide-required-alt
attribute as an error. (This case does not represent a case where
the document is conforming, only that the generator could not
determine appropriate alternative text — validators are not
required to show an error in this case, because such an error might
encourage markup generators to include bogus alternative text
purely in an attempt to silence validators. Naturally, conformance
checkers may report the lack of an alt
attribute as an error even in the
presence of the generator-unable-to-provide-required-alt
attribute; for example, there could be a user option to report
all conformance errors even those that might be the more
or less inevitable result of using a markup generator.)


Supports the builder with interactive assignment of controllers to modules selected in
the simulation environment. Look in class called "AssignControllerTool.java".
PRECONDITIONS.
- Your new controller should be located in this package, otherwise it won't work.
- The name of the class defining controller should contain the name of modular robot it is implemented for.
For instance: for ATRON it is

A table of contents should be here:
This note demonstrates some of what Markdown is capable of doing.
Note: Feel free to play with this page. Unlike regular notes, this doesn't automatically save itself.
Paragraphs can be written like so. A paragraph is the basic block of Markdown. A paragraph is what text will turn into when there is no reason it should become anything else.
Paragraphs must be separated by a blank line. Basic formatting of italics and bold is supported. This can be nested like so.
Note: the fourth item uses the Unicode character for Roman numeral four.
Code blocks are very useful for developers and other people who look at code or other things that are written in plain text. As you can see, it uses a fixed-width font.
You can also make inline code
to add code into other things.
Here is a quote. What this is should be self explanatory. Quotes are automatically indented when they are used.
There are six levels of headings. They correspond with the six levels of HTML headings. You've probably noticed them already in the page. Each level down uses one more hash character.
inline code
Of course, demonstrating what headings look like messes up the structure of the page.
I don't recommend using more than three or four levels of headings here, because, when you're smallest heading isn't too small, and you're largest heading isn't too big, and you want each size up to look noticeably larger and more important, there there are only so many sizes that you can use.
URLs can be made in a handful of ways:
Ctrl+L
.A horizontal rule is a line that goes across the middle of the page.
It's sometimes handy for breaking things up.
Markdown can also contain images. I'll need to add something here sometime.
There's actually a lot more to Markdown than this. See the official introduction and syntax for more information. However, be aware that this is not using the official implementation, and this might work subtly differently in some of the little things.


Catalogue Selected Fastener¶
In the last section (Exactly Sized Fastener), we used the analysis
from the VectorEvaluator
to precicely create a WoodScrew
with
exactly the right dimensions.
The problem with this strategy is that a screw with those exact dimensions is unlikely to exist, and would need to be custom made.
As an alternative, we can change the Selector
to pick a screw from
a list, more specifically, a Catalogue.
Populate a Catalogue¶
First we need to create an empty JSONCatalogue
.
from cqparts.catalogue import JSONCatalogue
import tempfile
# Temporary catalogue (just for this script)
catalogue_filename = tempfile.mkstemp()[1]
catalogue = JSONCatalogue(catalogue_filename)
Now we’ll add some screws to the catalogue:
# Add screws to catalogue
# note: this is the kind of information you'd store in a csv
# file, then import with a script similar to this one, to convert that
# information to a Catalogue.
screws = [
{
'id': 'screw_30',
'obj_params': { # parameters to WoodScrew constructor
'neck_exposed': 5,
'length': 40, # exposing 10mm of thread
'neck_length': 30,
},
'criteria': {
'type': 'screw',
'thread_length': 10,
'compatible_anchor': 'anchor_10',
},
},
{
'id': 'screw_50',
'obj_params': {
'neck_exposed': 6,
'length': 65, # exposing 15mm of thread
'neck_length': 50,
},
'criteria': {
'type': 'screw',
'thread_length': 15,
'compatible_anchor': 'anchor_15',
},
},
]
for screw in screws:
obj = WoodScrew(**screw['obj_params'])
catalogue.add(id=screw['id'], criteria=screw['criteria'], obj=obj)
And some anchors:
# Add anchors to catalogue
anchors = [
{
'id': 'anchor_10',
'obj_params': { # parameters to WoodScrew constructor
'diameter': 10,
'height': 7,
},
'criteria': {'type': 'anchor'},
},
{
'id': 'anchor_15',
'obj_params': { # parameters to WoodScrew constructor
'diameter': 15,
'height': 10,
},
'criteria': {'type': 'anchor'},
},
]
for anchor in anchors:
obj = Anchor(**anchor['obj_params'])
catalogue.add(id=anchor['id'], criteria=anchor['criteria'], obj=obj)
Then close()
the catalogue to
commit the items we’ve added to file.
To learn more about catalogues, read: Catalogue.
Catalogue Selector¶
Our previous implementation of the Fastener
in Exactly Sized Fastener can mostly be salvaged, so we’ll inherit
from it, but just change how the screw and anchor components are selected
and instantiated (in the overridden
get_components()
method).
from cqparts.catalogue import JSONCatalogue
from cqparts.utils import property_buffered
class EasyInstallCatalogueFastener(EasyInstallFastener):
class Selector(EasyInstallFastener.Selector):
def get_components(self):
# Find minimum neck length (total effect length, minus last effect)
neck_length_min = abs(self.evaluator.eval[-1].start_point - self.evaluator.eval[0].start_point)
thread_length_max = abs(self.evaluator.eval[-1].end_point - self.evaluator.eval[-1].start_point)
# Get the catalogue of available items
catalogue = JSONCatalogue(catalogue_filename)
item = catalogue.get_query()
# Find viably sized wood-screw
screw_item = sorted(
catalogue.search(
# eval sets minimum evaluation length
(item.obj.params.neck_length >= neck_length_min) &
# thread shouldn't pierce through last part
(item.criteria.thread_length < thread_length_max)
),
# sort by shortest first
key=lambda x: x['obj']['params']['neck_length']
)[0] # first result; shortest screw
return {
'screw': catalogue.deserialize_item(screw_item),
'anchor': catalogue.get(
item.id == screw_item['criteria']['compatible_anchor']
),
}
Result¶
Now, to re-use everything else we’ve done, we can inherit from
ConnectedPlanks
but use a different fastener class:
class ConnectedPlanksCatalogue(ConnectedPlanks):
fastener_class = EasyInstallCatalogueFastener

Look: Redskins fans perfectly organize 'Sell the team' message in stands
by TSD StaffTimes are hard for football fans in the Washington D.C. area, as the Redskins have been awful this season, with no signs of improvement in the future.
That’s why fans are beginning to replicate the behavior of Knicks fans — pushing the “Sell the team” message in public whenever possible, especially at team-centric events.
But what they did during Sunday’s game against the Lions really takes the cake. Check out how they perfectly organized spelling out “Sell the team” in the stands at FedEx Field using dayglow t-shirts.

Team owner Dan Snyder must’ve loved seeing that — on gameday no less.

UPDATE, 12 Sep 2012: Twimbow is no longer in active development, and will be shut down once Twitter’s new APIs take over.
It started with a tweet.
I’ve been on twitter for some time (two and a half years as I write this) and tried out a few clients pretty early in that span. I rejected the Adobe AIR based apps — I really couldn’t stand the reactivity — and jumped to Seesmic’s Web app the second it was launched. Almost a year ago, I mentioned something about the app when I received a tweet from @filos, asking if I wanted to try a new app on the block called Twimbow. Never one to say no to a new piece of tech, I have been an avid Twimbow user since.
The other day I came across a post titled ’Twimbow: the ‘Apple’ of Social Media Dashboards’ and I think I couldn’t have put it better than that. Having watched Twimbow from version 0.1 to the current 1.1, the client has matured and grown through an innovative approach and a smart expansion strategy.
To start off, Twimbow looks something like this:
I actually wrote out this post twice. The first time, I attempted to list out every feature in Twimbow that I use and enjoy. Turns out, I use close to 100% of them and this post was too long to publish. So I’m going with another angle: the top 5 reasons why I use Twimbow over other clients. So here we go:
Color
Compared to the traditional dark on white, or white on dark client style, Twimbow takes an interesting spin, allowing you to assign color to users. Similar to Gmail’s labelling, starting with v1.0, you can assign label names. Considering I follow quite a few users, I’ve created a category for food-related things, another for news feeds and the like and so on. The cool bit is I can show and hide any label as required, so I’ve even created a label (in pink) for users I don’t want to see all the time, for example.
As a result, when I get online, I can quickly browse and focus on what I want to see by color, either by filtering out others, or even just skimming my timeline. If I’m in a hurry, I only look for colored users that are interesting, vs if I’m on at a more casual hour, when I browse them all.
The Solution to the column problem
Something that is quite annoying — and outright scary to newer twitter users — is the sheer number of columns generated with some of the other clients. There’s one for @, one for DMs and one for every search I have. If I’ve got multi-accounts, then there’s also one for each account and so on and so forth. Twimbow works in a 3-column environment and that’s it.
This is a perfect time to the mention the awesome and every intuitive Personal Buzz column. Everything related to you as a user — your tweets, @ mentions, DMs to and from, RTs by and of you and Favorites are nicely merged into one column. Mind, it’s color coded, so it’s easy to sort through them (or filter one or more out). I prefer the setting that hides my own tweets, DMs I send and RTs I do, simply because I’ve done them and know what they are already. This makes me happy. And always, if I’ve forgotten what someone replied to me, the conversation view sorts that out instantly.
Gone are the clients that make me feel like I work on Wall Street. Funnily enough, I get really annoyed trying to use them because it just does not feel organized anymore.
Multi-Account Support
The biggest change that arrived with 1.0 was Twimbow’s multi-account support. And boy did they think it through. Each account gets a separate view altogether, meaning you basically switch between your accounts. So far, other clients I have seen merge or have little check boxes to select which accounts to tweet from. Trust me, it’s amazingly easy to make a mistake that way as I’m sure many of you have experienced if you use a corporate and a personal account and such.
Twimbow’s way is simple and importantly — visible — so you don’t goof up accounts ever again. Haven’t made a mistake since. Yet.
The Casual vs Power User
Twimbow is a client that all facets of twitter users can enjoy. This means that the more casual users get to enjoy color coding, inbuilt music player and sharing, and even things like inline image previews (for all major image sharing services) and inline reader (to read links posted) so you don’t have to leave the application. Against this, there is something in for the power user too, easy (okay, very easy) list management, and the awesome monitor at the bottom. If you follow a lot of topics, the monitor allows you to save it like a little searchpad (Think Dashboard on the Mac) that you pull up only when there are updates. The monitor has a little status bar at the bottom that populates if any of your searches get new tweets in them. Handy.
Responsiveness
Out of experience, I’ve learnt the the guys behind Twimbow — should out to @filos and @marchitos — are very communicative. More importantly, they listen to user complaints or feature suggestions constantly. Over the course of the year, most of my suggestions have been taken into account (or was already in the works), and when they set out a private release of 1.0, I can confirm that they solved every issue I posted. To me, this says two things:
- They are passionate about what they are doing. I know for a fact that they are disgrunted users of others twitter apps who set out to create an innovative client that is based on what users like to see. So far, they’ve done a terrific job.
- They care. They’re listening. A simple search of twimbow will show you how often users communicate with them, and how often they write back.
I could, quite honestly, go on about Twimbow. But the best thing about it is that you can see for yourself. Twimbow is currently in pre-alpha so it runs by invite only. I’ve got a couple to give out, and you can also visit their website, where they showcase users who have invites available. Ofcourse, you can always tweet to them and they’ll put you on the invite list.
Twimbow has recently set up an office in San Fran. To me, this is exciting, because they are getting serious about keeping this app running. For now, it just supports twitter, but Facebook etc are already in the works.
Take it for a spin!

The following are the rules of the game:
- You must first Enter Both players names before you play
- Each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 is rolled or the player decides to "hold":
- If the player rolls a 1, they score nothing and it becomes the next player's turn.
- If the player rolls any other number, it is added to their turn total and the player's turn continues.
- If a player chooses to "hold", their turn total is added to their score, and it becomes the next player's turn.
The first player to get 100 points or above wins the game.


Sometimes when creating a multi-linear regression model, it’s wise to stratify the y
(target) variable when you split your training and testing data from the total sample (train/test/split). Why would we do this? If you have y
data that is not normally distributed, you may have a situation where your random samples of your sample might not be sufficiently representative of the sample. Meta!
In other words, you could have a situation where your training and/or testing sets (which are samples taken from your overall sample) look meaningfully different from the overall sample. If that were the case, you run the risk of having a “garbage in, garbage out” situation, and your model may perform poorly.
Stratifying is a common way to address this. Essentially, stratifying is a way to ensure your ostensibly random sample is a representative sample.
Usually, this comes into play for categorical variables. In simple terms, the procedure is to sample in such a way that a representative selection from all categories are included in the training and testing sets.
To do this in Python using pandas and scikit-learn:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# Create training and testing samples from dataset df, with 30% allocated to the testing sample (as is customary):
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(df, y, test_size=0.3, stratify=y)
# The last argument `stratify` tells the function to stratify the target variable `y` so that the random sample is more representative of the full sample when `y`.
BUT–what do we do if your y
is a continuous numerical variable, rather than a categorical variable? Turns out that if we try the same syntax above, it throws an error. This is because train_test_split
doesn’t know how to split up the sample unless you tell it what the “categories” are.
After a lot of time querying google, stackoverflow, and others more experienced than me, here’s a solution I found. The method is to trick Python into interpreting your continuous numerical y
variable as a categorical variable instead. How? By creating bins, and passing your y
variable into an ndarray containing those bins and the corresponding values.
In Python (with same libraries loaded as in the prior code snippet):
# Create the bins. My `y` variable has 506 observations, and I want 50 bins.
bins = np.linspace(0, 506, 50)
# Save your Y values in a new ndarray, broken down by the bins created above.
y_binned = np.digitize(y, bins)
# Pass y_binned to the stratify argument, and sklearn will handle the rest
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(df, y, test_size=0.3, stratify=y_binned)
There you have it: stratification of a continuous numerical target value for multi-linear regression!
