Georges St-Pierre, often referred to as GSP, is a French-Canadian mixed martial artist. He is currently signed to the
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he competes in their middleweight division and is a former champion. St-Pierre is also a three-time former UFC
Welterweight Champion, having won the title twice from 2006 to 2008, as well as an interim title in 2007. Frequently cited as one of the greatest MMA fighters
of all time, St-Pierre was ranked as the #1 welterweight in the world for several years by Sherdog and numerous other publications. In 2008, 2009, and 2010
he was named the Canadian Athlete of the Year by Rogers Sportsnet. Fight Matrix lists him as the top MMA Welterweight of all time and most accomplished fighter
in MMA history. He retired on December 13, 2013, holding the record for most wins in title bouts and the second longest combined title
streak in UFC history (2,204 days). He returned to the Octagon in 2017 at UFC 217, where he defeated Michael Bisping by submission to win the middleweight title,
becoming the fourth fighter in the history of the organization to be a multi-division champion.

Audio description via VTT track, read by browsers
This demo uses WebVTT files to deliver text-based audio description. WebVTT description tracks are available in multiple languages, which correspond with the subtitle languages. If the user switches the subtitle language via the Captions button, the description language will change as well.
If Description is toggled on, supporting browsers will read the description text aloud using the Web Speech API. Speech output settings — voice, pitch, rate, and volume — can be configured by the user within the Preferences dialog.
Also in Preferences, users can toggle a checkbox labeled "Automatically pause video when description starts".
The text from the description file is incorporated into the machine-generated interactive transcript.
For browsers that do not support the Web Speech API, description text will be written to an ARIA live region on the web page, and will be read aloud by screen readers.

4 injured in Dippin’ Dots plant explosion in Kentucky
by Jon LevineTragedy struck a Dippin’ Dots facility in Kentucky after an explosion injured at least four people, WSPD6 local reported.
It is not known what exactly caused the blast, or the extent of the damage to the Paducah facility, a company spokesperson told the Associated Press.
A rep for the city said the plant appears to have had a nitrogen leak, but that it was unclear whether the possible leak had played a role in the blast. Nitrogen is an essential component of Dippin’ Dots, which is used to “flash freeze” the ice cream, the wire service reported.
Dippin’ Dots has a cult following in the United States, and was famously involved in a feud with former White House press secretary Sean Spicer — a longtime hater of the product.


Using Comments to Simplify SQL Injection
Terminating the query properly is one of the main difficulties an attacker may encounter while testing. Frequently, the problem comes from what follows the integrated user parameter. This SQL segment is part of the query and the malicious input must be crafted to handle it without generating syntax errors. This article explains how comments can be used to eliminate trailing characters and simplify the attack.
Comment Syntax
Before jumping in the main subject, let’s enumerate the different ways to comment SQL code for MySQL, SQL Server (MSSQL) and Oracle.
It should also be mentioned that MySQL supports alternative forms of comments. They are prettty similar to c-style comments and do not represent any additional value for an attacker who wants to terminate a query.
Terminating Query
Using line commenting to terminate a query is best illustrated by an example. The vulnerable script and the attack is shown below.
The script - Building a query without sanitizing data.
$sql = "SELECT first_name, last_name, email FROM members WHERE username='".$value."' AND showpublic=1"
Attacker input using line commenting.
admin' --
Query generated.
SELECT first_name, last_name, email FROM members WHERE username='admin' -- ' AND showpublic=1
By using line commenting, the attacker eliminates the last condition and does not even have to handle the trailing quote. The same result could have been achieved without line commenting, but the crafted parameter would have been slightly more complex. The real gain from this technique is realized when the query is complex. For example, if a restrictive HAVING clause is present or if an INTERSECT operator was used after the vulnerable parameter. This is also true for many cases where user input is integrated in a subquery.
Inline Comments
The last situation where comments can be used to simplify an SQL injection attack is when multiple vulnerable inputs are integrated in the same query. Given the attacker has a good idea of how the input is integrated, he could use C-style comments to eliminate a part of the query. Below is an example.
Script eliminates all dashes and number signs in the input, then it integrates it in query.
$sql = "INSERT INTO members (username, isadmin, password) VALUES ('".$username."', 0, '".$password."')"
Attacker's input (username 1st line, password 2nd line).
attacker', 1, /*
*/'pwd
Query generated (forces administrator rights).
INSERT INTO members (username, isadmin, password) VALUES ('attacker', 1, /*', 0, '*/'pwd')
As mentionned earlier, this technique is rarely used in real situations. However, it might be useful to overcome difficulties met when:
Other forms of comment are impossible to use (for example if the double-dash is filtered by the application).
It is not possible to use stacked queries.
It is not possible to make a UNION attack.

Detailed Description
The QSound class provides a method to play .wav sound files.
Qt provides the most commonly required audio operation in GUI applications: asynchronously playing a sound file. This is most easily accomplished using the static play() function:
QSound::play("mysounds/bells.wav");
Alternatively, create a QSound object from the sound file first and then call the play() slot:
QSound bells("mysounds/bells.wav"); bells.play();
Once created a QSound object can be queried for its fileName() and total number of loops() (i.e. the number of times the sound will play). The number of repetitions can be altered using the setLoops() function. While playing the sound, the loopsRemaining() function returns the remaining number of repetitions. Use the isFinished() function to determine whether the sound has finished playing.
Sounds played using a QSound object may use more memory than the static play() function, but it may also play more immediately (depending on the underlying platform audio facilities).
If you require finer control over playing sounds, consider the QSoundEffect or QAudioOutput classes.
See also QSoundEffect.

Proposal Documentation
I assisted my teammates on giving them feedback about how much time and level of difficulties to turn their idea into practice. Meanwhile, I did some research to the existing products like 3d timeline mainly focusing on the British Museum site. For demo reasons, I made a storyboard that assemble the problems that could be encountered with 9 years old students as well as how our web page solving it. I also did some general purpose work at this stage like manage bibliography and adding potential animations.


SLEEPWALKERS A review in the public domain by The Phantom<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Phantom hardly knows where to start. He supposes that he should begin by pointing out that SLEEPWALKERS is not still another in a long line of perfectly awful Stephen King adaptations, in part because Stephen King apparently wrote the original screenplay himself. And in part because it is not, in fact, perfectly awful. It's only imperfectly awful, which is certainly a step in the right direction, coming as SLEEPWALKERS does fast on the heels of THE LAWNMOWER MAN, yet another spiritless, insipid, King-inspired horror film in the grand tradition of CHILDREN OF THE CORN and MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.
In fact, in many ways, SLEEPWALKERS is really quite good, although it hardly qualifies as a horror classic. Or a good Stephen King tale. Or even a film that's worth going too far out of your way to see. By now, many phans will have read the early reviews in the Usenet movies newsgroups and concluded from the sheer uniformity of their recommendations that SLEEPWALKERS isn't worth their time, and that they would be better off spending their $7.50 on that new and rather frighteningly politically correct animated film about rain forests. After all, although SLEEPWALKERS features gore galore -- a surprising amount of it, considering that it's a major studio release -- it does not as well feature the twin bonuses of seeing Sharon Stone naked every 5 minutes and Michael Douglas walk around without any pants on. Fiscally prudent filmgoers are always looking to get the most for their money, and in this respect SLEEPWALKERS doesn't even come close to more socially acceptable films like BASIC INSTINCT.
However, this is not to say that SLEEPWALKERS is entirely without merit (observant phans will note that saying that a film is not entirely without merit is among the highest praise the Phantom has ever lavished on a King adaptation, MISERY excepted). It may in fact be most enjoyable to those phans who can spot all the other films that get ripped off (or are paid homage to, if you -- like Brian DePalma -- prefer to think of it in slightly more civil terms); certainly that was one of the reasons the Phantom had a fairly good time throughout most of the film. And the ripoffs come fast and furious, starting with BLUE VELVET and continuing with, among others, NEAR DARK, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE SHINING, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and LIFEFORCE. And those are just the ones that come to mind as the Phantom writes this paragraph; chances are that another half dozen will occur to him before he finishes this review.
The story, such as it is, revolves a mother and son family of "sleepwalkers," a race of beings the film helpfully defines for us as perhaps the forerunners of those creatures we call vampires. They, like vampires, need human blood to remain forever young; however, unlike vampires they don't mind daylight, don't have to sleep in coffins, and tend to hang around cemeteries only if they're on a date or having a picnic. And they're deathly afraid of cats. (That's with a lowercase "c," rather than "Cats" the Broadway show; the Phantom can sympathize with both fears, though only because he suffers from occasional cat hair-induced allergies and is not otherwise predisposed to like animals who deposit dead rodents on one's bed. And Andrew Lloyd Weber's perpetual-money-machine still gives him the chills whenever he passes it on his way to some form of entertainment that doesn't require grown adults to look like living outtakes from THE WIZARD OF OZ.)
Why they should be so afraid of cats is -- like so many other things -- never adequately explained by King's near-illiterate script. Yet because Mick Garris (the director) keeps the film rolling along, we don't generally have time to think about its seemingly endless supply of absurdities. In fact, Garris does about as well as can be expected from any director given the material with which he had to work; the Phantom was pleasantly surprised at the number of Raimi-esque touches throughout the film, and he is heartened to think that directors other than Sam Raimi, Brian DePalma, the Coen brothers and Stanley Kubrick may occasionally try camera angles other than those approved by the television networks for their ever-so-inventive movie-of-the-week presentations. (With luck, we'll see something else from Mr. Garris sometime soon; with hope, it will be something with a significantly better screenplay.)
We are also treated to "discount morphing" every 10 minutes or so, presumably because the film's budget could not justify even more morphing than that. "Morphing," as those who follow the special effects industry, watch Michael Jackson's videos, or have seen TERMINATOR 2 -- that is, presumably everyone in the world -- know, is the less-impressive-with-every-viewing effect that shows one object smoothly transforming into another. For example, imagine the auditorium in a theater showing SLEEPWALKERS on successive Friday nights: if seen in fast motion, the appearance would be of a room growing steadily more and more empty, as a packed house on opening night smoothly transforms into a near-empty auditorium just two weeks later. (In fact, the Phantom suspects that the theater manager at the Loews Astor Plaza in New York City -- one of the largest theaters on the east coast -- will have a pretty good feel for the delightful "morphing" effect by the end of April, as he counts the days until the May 15th release of LETHAL 3 will again allow him to fill the 1000 seats in his theater.)
As if that weren't enough, we also get a healthy dose of splatter as people's hands are ripped off, fingers are chewed off, arms and necks are lacerated by knives and glass, eardrums are pierced and bodies are set on fire; apparently the MPAA has fled the country after having given BASIC INSTINCT their seal of approval for our nation's ever-impressionable youth and no one is minding the censorship store. (Hint to George Romero: re-edit and -release your DEAD films ASAP and see if the MPAA will give them a pass this time around if you throw in a naked bisexual bleached blonde or two. After all, cannibalism, ice-pick murders -- what's the difference, really, as long as it's between consenting adults?) The Phantom is, of course, the last to mourn our nation's moral disintegration, and far be it for him to complain that a film has perhaps one too many scenes of someone losing a body part; still, for a film that is advertised in such a wholesome way and has so many attempts at levity scattered throughout it to descend to point where it feels it must swing half-cats at the screen -- the Phantom supposes he should consider himself fortunate that SLEEPWALKERS wasn't filmed in headache-inducing "Freddy-Vision" -- well something seems just a little amiss.
What's amiss, as it turns out, is apparently a coherent story, or at least one that's not filled with so many plot holes that the filmmakers feel they must resort to every horror cliche in the book to compensate. The biggest problem, as the Phantom has already mentioned, is the film's atrocious script, a problem that must be laid directly at the feet of the master of horror himself, a man who with SLEEPWALKERS can't seem to keep himself focused on a single, tellable tale. Although 100-page-long digressions are always welcome in the context of King's cinder-block-shaped novels, they simply do not belong in a film that is only 90 minutes long. And the answer is not to make the film even longer; instead, the answer is to confine oneself as a writer or director to a single story idea that can be told well on film. This is something that Kathryn Bigelow did to perfection with her excellent first feature, NEAR DARK, a film which will likely remain the final word on modern retellings of the vampire legend for quite some time; it's also a film that is "paid homage to" throughout SLEEPWALKERS. Unfortunately, the effect of this is to make us wish we'd taken our $7.50 to Blockbusters and rented NEAR DARK instead of using it to encourage Stephen King to write still more bad screenplays and collaborate in yet another disappointing horror film.
King's script veers all over the place, from allusions to BLUE VELVET and NEAR DARK to wholesale ripoffs of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (the Phantom counted 2 complete scenes that were lifted directly from John Landis' far superior film, and he was hardly paying attention most of the time), and along the way King has his characters behaving in the most ridiculous and unlikely ways imaginable. Going on a first date with the mysterious but charming new boy in town? Why not have a picnic at Homestead Cemetery, apparently your staid Midwestern town's version of lovers' lane? Trapped in your home by hundreds of extremely domesticated and unthreatening-looking house cats? Why not avoid at all costs the acquisition of 6 large Dobermans, each of whom could eat a dozen of those cats for lunch without working up a sweat, in favor of a single ineffectual bear trap? And on and on; it's almost as if King were saying to us, "I have no respect at all for your intelligence, so I'll just have my characters do the most expedient thing possible to move my screenplay forward."  His screenplays, however, have been uniformly contemptuous of the audience; either that, or he doesn't take writing for the screen as seriously as he does writing for the New York Times best seller list.
SLEEPWALKERS also suffers from a bad case of Freddy-itis (the tendency to crack wise when the film would do better maintaining a serious tone) at times, and the film overall amounts to much less than the sum of its parts, perhaps due to King's inability to focus, or perhaps due to the extremely artificial look of the film itself, which appears to have been shot entirely indoors on a back lot somewhere far away from the Midwest.
That said, the Phantom should note that SLEEPWALKERS is enjoyable enough as these exercises in parting gullible filmgoers from their entertainment dollars go (phans may remember that the Phantom enjoyed William Friedkin's even more loopy 1990 film THE GUARDIAN; if the Phantom can find evil trees and Druid nannies entertaining, he can certainly be diverted by wholesale gore and discount morphing). Garris keeps the film moving, and many individual scenes are quite effective. And if one can overlook the inevitable scenes of people in giant, unlikely-looking bug suits (or perhaps they were giant cat suits -- the light was bad and it was difficult to tell, though mercifully no one started singing "Memories"), and the few brief scenes in which fat and lazy-looking housecats bestir themselves and leap unlikely distances to attack the sleepwalkers -- scenes that brought back fond memories of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL's killer rabbit -- then it is quite possible to enjoy SLEEPWALKERS for what it is: a few good ideas, well-handled by a talented director and special-effects crew but ultimately sabotaged by a writer who should stick to paperbacks.
(Goodness, even the Phantom's obligatory "that said" paragraph ended on a critical note. Perhaps SLEEPWALKERS doesn't even deserve a "that said," though the Phantom did in fact enjoy parts of the film. It's certainly a better film than THE LAWNMOWER MAN, and the Phantom can without difficulty think of many worse horror films that have been released in the past year or so -- CHILD'S PLAY 3 comes quickly to mind, as does the final nail in the ELM STREET coffin, FREDDY'S DEAD. It's worth a rental, so be sure to visit your local Blockbusters in about 4 months. In the meantime, phans would do well to rent any of the films to which SLEEPWALKERS "pays homage," but especially Kathryn Bigelow's horror classic, NEAR DARK, a film that proves -- once again, and most theatrical horror releases to the contrary -- that low-budget horror can be both literate and very entertaining.)
(Second of three parenthetical paragraphs: phans should note that the BASIC INSTINCT of horror is already available as Tobe Hooper's extremely silly and quite frankly terrible LIFEFORCE. Naked bleached blonde space vampires abound, though sadly there are no messy ice-pick murders. At Blockbusters everywhere, under "B" for bad.)
(Finally, a point in SLEEPWALKERS' favor: it has a surprisingly low Spring-Loaded Cat quotient, given the considerable temptations the filmmakers must have felt. Kudos to Garris for keeping the cats-in- the-closet, 120dB ringing telephones, and hands-on-the-shoulder to a minimum.)

Tired of being assumed your not a programmer at programming conferences or interviews? Then we have the solution* for you, get your open source code turned into cool looking glitch-art dress, with pockets!. You can see the dresses we've generated so far in our glitch code dress cowcow store (and the latest ones).
The inspiration of this project came from many different places, ranging from being asked to wear ugly company t-shirts, to seeing awesome other code-built clothes. Cyberdog has a HTML glitch dress of their website which looks amazing (I have one). The excellent folks at Svaha have a line of (non-glitch) code dresses covering many programming languages (along with a Spark Scala dress I'm biased towards). Shenova fashion have a line of women in STEM dresses which is also amazing.
While these are all amazing, I think there is something unique about being able to wear your own work, and my hope is that some dress wearing folks will take advantage of this (or this idea) to showcase their own work on their dresses. Go forth and have fun :)
You can keep up with the latest project's from Holden Karau by following her on twitter, most of which is working on Apache Spark or riding her scooter. If you want to improve the dress generator, or maybe make our website look less like the 90s, you can look at the clothes from code project on GitHub. Curious to see how this was built? Well thankfully most of this was streamed and is recorded on Holden's YouTube.
*Actual long term solution is out of scope and may involve fire.

STAPRUN
Section: Maintenance Commands (8)Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
staprun - systemtap runtimeSYNOPSIS
staprun
[
OPTIONS
]
MODULE
[
MODULE-OPTIONS
]
DESCRIPTION
The staprun program is the back-end of the Systemtap tool. It expects a kernel module produced by the front-end stap tool.
Splitting the systemtap tool into a front-end and a back-end allows a user to compile a systemtap script on a development machine that has the kernel debugging information (need to compile the script) and then transfer the resulting kernel module to a production machine that doesn't have any development tools or kernel debugging information installed.
Please refer to stappaths (7) for the version number, or run rpm -q systemtap (fedora/red hat) apt-get -v systemtap (ubuntu)
OPTIONS
The staprun program supports the following options. Any other option prints a list of supported options.- -v
- Verbose mode.
- -w
- Suppress warnings from the script.
- -u
- Load the uprobes.ko module.
- -c CMD
- Command CMD will be run and the staprun program will exit when CMD does. The '_stp_target' variable will contain the pid for CMD.
- -x PID
- The '_stp_target' variable will be set to PID.
- -o FILE
- Send output to FILE. If the module uses bulk mode, the output will be in percpu files FILE_x(FILE_cpux in background and bulk mode) where 'x' is the cpu number. This supports strftime(3) formats for FILE.
- -b BUFFER_SIZE
- The systemtap module will specify a buffer size. Setting one here will override that value. The value should be an integer between 1 and 4095 which be assumed to be the buffer size in MB. That value will be per-cpu if bulk mode is used.
- -L
- Load module and start probes, then detach from the module leaving the probes running. The module can be attached to later by using the -A option.
- -A
- Attach to loaded systemtap module.
- -d
- Delete a module. Only detached or unused modules the user has permission to access will be deleted. Use "*" (quoted) to delete all unused modules.
- -D
- Run staprun in background as a daemon and show it's pid.
- -R
- Rename the module to a unique name before inserting it.
- -r N:URI
- Pass the given number and URI data to the tapset functions remote_id() and remote_uri().
- -S size[,N]
- Sets the maximum size of output file and the maximum number of output files. If the size of output file will exceed size , systemtap switches output file to the next file. And if the number of output files exceed N , systemtap removes the oldest output file. You can omit the second argument.
- var1=val
-
Sets the value of global variable var1 to val. Global variables contained
within a module are treated as module options and can be set from the
staprun command line.
ARGUMENTS
MODULE is either a module path or a module name. If it is a module name, the module will be looked for in the following directory (where 'VERSION' is the output of "uname -r"):- /lib/modules/VERSION/systemtap
Any additional arguments on the command line are passed to the module. One use of these additional module arguments is to set the value of global variables declared within the module.
$ stap -p4 -m mod1 -e [aq]global var1="foo"; probe begin{printf("%s\n", var1); exit()}[aq]
Running this with an additional module argument:
$ staprun mod1.ko var1="HelloWorld"
HelloWorld
Spaces and exclamation marks currently cannot be passed into global variables this way.
EXAMPLES
See the stapex(3stap) manual page for a collection of sample scripts.Here is a very basic example of how to use staprun. First, use stap to compile a script. The stap program will report the pathname to the resulting module.
$ stap -p4 -e [aq]probe begin { printf("Hello World!\n"); exit() }[aq]
/home/user/.systemtap/cache/85/stap_8553d83f78c_265.ko
Run staprun with the pathname to the module as an argument.
$ staprun /home/user/.systemtap/cache/85/stap_8553d83f78c_265.ko
Hello World!
MODULE DETACHING AND ATTACHING
After the staprun program installs a Systemtap kernel module, users can detach from the kernel module and reattach to it later. The -L option loads the module and automatically detaches. Users can also detach from the kernel module interactively by sending the SIGQUIT signal from the keyboard (typically by typing Ctrl-\).To reattach to a kernel module, the staprun -A option would be used.
FILE SWITCHING BY SIGNAL
After the staprun launched the stapio , users can command it to switch output file to next file when it outputs to file(s) (running staprun with -o option) by sending a SIGUSR2 signal to the stapio process. When it receives SIGUSR2, it will switch output file to new file with suffix .N where N is the sequential number. For example,$ staprun -o foo ...
outputs trace logs to foo and if it receives SIGUSR2 signal, it switches output to foo.1 file. And receiving SIGUSR2 again, it switches to foo.2 file.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Systemtap is an administrative tool. It exposes kernel internal data structures and potentially private user information. See the stap(1) manual page for additional information on safety and security.To increase system security, only the root user and members of both stapdev and staprun groups can use staprun to insert systemtap modules (or attach to existing ones). Members of the stapusr group only can use staprun to insert or remove systemtap modules (or attach to existing systemtap modules) under the following conditions:
- *
- The module is located in the /lib/modules/VERSION/systemtap directory. This directory must be owned by root and not be world writable.
- *
- The module has been signed by a trusted signer. Trusted signers are normally systemtap compile servers which sign modules when the --unprivileged option is specified by the client. See the stap-server(8) manual page for a for more information.
FILES
- /lib/modules/VERSION/systemtap
- If MODULE is a module name, the module will be looked for in this directory. Users who are only in the 'stapusr' group can install modules located in this directory. This directory must be owned by the root user and not be world writable.

This is an attempt to understand and recreate the work presented in What Uncertainties Do We Need in Bayesian Deep Learning for Computer Vision? by alex kendall and yarin gal.
The paper proposes framework to include uncertainty in context of classification as well as regression by deep neural network. For the purpose of this article I will stick to uncertainty in context of some regression by deep neural nets.
Broadly uncertainty can be of two types
Aleatoric
: uncertainty inherently in the observation (i.e sensor which captured the data was malfunctioning, obtaining more data from such a sensor won’t help cure the problem)
Epistemic
: uncertainty in the model parameters, this can be explained away with more data
Author proposes a method to account for both type of uncertainties in a given baseline model (baseline model doesn’t acount for uncertainty).
Suppose the baseline model has the loss function: Here $D =$ number of pixels in the output and $\hat{y_i}$, $y_i$ are predicted pixel value and ground truth pixel value for pixel $i$, where sum is over all the pixels.
To account for uncertainties, we should
this will try to learn the uncertainty without any supervision, $\log\hat{\sigma_i^2}$ will prevent the uncertainty from blowing up, where as $\frac{1}{2\hat{\sigma_i^2}}$ will prevent uncertainty to going down to zero. This is like base loss function except that it is weighted using uncertainty and the hope is that we will hit a sweet spot where network is still outputing values close to original ground truth but also giving us idea about uncertainty (which is non-zero and not infiinity)
for training it’s better to use $s_i = \log\sigma_i^2$ as this will prevent a possible division by zero operation.
In order to see it in action, consider the toy problem where I have created an autoencoder for MNIST, then I have modified this autoencoder by introducing
The modified network is train with the above mentioned $L_{BNN}$ with $L2$ norm penalty on the weights of the model. The following diagram shows the oriignal network and modified network
My expectation is that even with modified autoencoder (with uncertainty) I should be able to get good reconstruction of digits and uncertainty maps should be something that makes sense visibily. I’m not sure if this is achievable
log variance map
corresponds to $s$ (i.e $\log\hat{\sigma^2}$) values which was used in loss function
and variance map
corresponds to $\log\hat{\sigma^2}$ values

Parameter Minimization using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm
Do some fitting
1.1 Introduction
The Levenberg-Marquardt plugin is used to fit a SBML models parameters to experimental
data.
The plugin has numerous properties to allow the user full control over the internal fitting engine, as
well as access to generated fitted data after a minimization session. In addition, various statistical
properties, such as standardized residuals, Q-Q data, ChiSquare and reduced ChiSquare are made
accessible to the user. The resulting parameter values do also come with estimated confidence
limits.
The current implementation is based on the lmfit C library by Joachim
Wuttke .
Plugin properties are documented in the next section.

1.3 The execute(bool inThread) function
The execute() function will start the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Depending on the problem at
hand, the algorithm may run for a long time.
The execute(bool inThread), do support a boolean argument indicating if the execution of
the plugin work will be done in a thread, or not. Threading is fully implemented in the
Levenberg-Marquardt plugin.
The inThread argument defaults to false.
1.4 Plugin Events
The Levenberg-Marquardt plugin are using all of a plugins available plugin events, i.e. the
PluginStarted, PluginProgress and the PluginFinished events.
The available data variables for each event are internally treated as pass trough variables,
so any data, for any of the events, assigned prior to the plugins execute function (in the
assignOn() family of functions), can be retrieved unmodified in the corresponding event
function.
| Event | Arguments | Purpose and argument types |
|
|
|
| | | |
| PluginStarted | void*, void* | Signal to application that the plugin has started.
Both parameters are pass trough parameters and
are unused internally by the plugin. |
| | | |
| PluginProgress | void*, void* | Communicating progress of fitting.
Both parameters are pass trough parameters and
are unused internally by the plugin. |
| | | |
| PluginFinished | void*, void* | Signals to application that execution of the plugin
has finished. Both parameters are pass trough
parameters and are unused internally by the
plugin. |

In an amortized analysis, the time required to perform a sequence of data-structure operations is averaged over all the operations performed. Amortized analysis can be used to show that the average cost of an operation is small, if one averages over a sequence of operations, even though a single operation within the sequence might be expensive. Amortized analysis differs from average-case analysis in that probability is not involved; an amortized analysis guarantees the average performance of each operation in the worst case.
The first three sections of this chapter cover the three most common techniques used in amortized analysis. Section 17.1 starts with aggregate analysis, in which we determine an upper bound T (n) on the total cost of a sequence of n operations. The average cost per operation is then T (n)/n. We take the average cost as the amortized cost of each operation, so that all operations have the same amortized cost.
Section 17.2 covers the accounting method, in which we determine an amortized cost of each operation. When there is more than one type of operation, each type of operation may have a different amortized cost. The accounting method overcharges some operations early in the sequence, storing the overcharge as "prepaid credit" on specific objects in the data structure. The credit is used later in the sequence to pay for operations that are charged less than they actually cost.
Section 17.3 discusses the potential method, which is like the accounting method in that we determine the amortized cost of each operation and may overcharge operations early on to compensate for undercharges later. The potential method maintains the credit as the "potential energy" of the data structure as a whole instead of associating the credit with individual objects within the data structure.
We shall use two examples to examine these three methods. One is a stack with the additional operation MULTIPOP, which pops several objects at once. The other is a binary counter that counts up from 0 by means of the single operation INCREMENT.
While reading this chapter, bear in mind that the charges assigned during an amortized analysis are for analysis purposes only. They need not and should not appear in the code. If, for example, a credit is assigned to an object x when using the accounting method, there is no need to assign an appropriate amount to some attribute credit[x] in the code.
The insight into a particular data structure gained by performing an amortized analysis can help in optimizing the design. In Section 17.4, for example, we shall use the potential method to analyze a dynamically expanding and contracting table.

A broadcast variable.
A broadcast variable. Broadcast variables allow the programmer to keep a read-only variable cached on each machine rather than shipping a copy of it with tasks. They can be used, for example, to give every node a copy of a large input dataset in an efficient manner. Spark also attempts to distribute broadcast variables using efficient broadcast algorithms to reduce communication cost.
Broadcast variables are created from a variable v
by calling
org.apache.spark.SparkContext#broadcast.
The broadcast variable is a wrapper around v
, and its value can be accessed by calling the
value
method. The interpreter session below shows this:
scala> val broadcastVar = sc.broadcast(Array(1, 2, 3)) broadcastVar: org.apache.spark.broadcast.Broadcast[Array[Int]] = Broadcast(0) scala> broadcastVar.value res0: Array[Int] = Array(1, 2, 3)
After the broadcast variable is created, it should be used instead of the value v
in any
functions run on the cluster so that v
is not shipped to the nodes more than once.
In addition, the object v
should not be modified after it is broadcast in order to ensure
that all nodes get the same value of the broadcast variable (e.g. if the variable is shipped
to a new node later).
Type of the data contained in the broadcast variable.
Spark's broadcast variables, used to broadcast immutable datasets to all nodes.


Temporal analyses offer exciting new ways to gain insight into the processes through which learning occurs. The study of different learning patterns over time and their relationship to learning outcomes is a rapidly growing area of interest in the learning analytics community and beyond. However, while the literature on temporal analyses is developing, there has been dramatically less consideration of the methods by which temporal analyses might be put into practice, and translated to actionable insights. Emerging temporal analyses present both theoretical and practical challenges in appropriating suitable techniques for producing and interpreting results, especially those that can inform and be used by practitioners. This workshop aims to convene researchers, designers, educational practitioners and other stakeholders to explore these challenges and state-of-the-art perspectives, so as to put temporal analytics into practice effectively.

--- layout: post title: My first open source project description: date: 2015-11-20 12:00:00 headerImage: img/airballoon_b.jpg tags: ["tech"] ---
Since november last year I started working on the HabboAPI project. While it is not my first repository, and maybe also not the first serious project (that would be my attempt of the RWS library), it's the first where I went the extra mile to create documentation, tests, continuous integration and Packagist support.
I also intend to support this and hope to see other people contribute. So far I have one favourite!
When it comes to PHP development, something I've been doing for well over 10 years now, I feel like I'm on the so called 'slope of enlightenment' when you look at Gartners Hype Cycle graph.
{{< img src="/img/blog/2015/hypecycle.gif" desc="While meant for technologies, also good analogy for learning (programming) languages" >}}I spent a lot of time in the 'trough of disillusionment'. First after I learned about security, forcefully so, because my applications and sites were targeted by scriptkiddies. I had to learn about cookie hijacking, XSS and SQL injection. After that I spend more time on defensive programming than actually delivering things. I was bummed out because it felt like I couldn't get anything done. I guess ignorance really is bliss.
Secondly an era that came around was where I had to try and understand concepts such as Git, Composer, PHPUnit and of course make the jump from PHP4 to PHP5; classes and namespaces.
I'm not at the desired 'plateau', but I'm also not panicking.
My project is now on Packagist as v1.0.5 and stable on Travis. I already created some Github issues for future versions.
In no particular order, here are some things that I wish I had done, I'm glad I learned from or that I would probably do the same next time.
It kind of goes without saying nowadays, but unit tests are going to save your life. Being able to make changes and run your tests, relying on them to tell you the truth is a wonderful feeling. You're no longer afraid to refactor your code or have to set up your local development server and do some arbitrary tasks to see if it still works as you designed it to.
I created an example.php
file to test and showcase the usage of my library and I also used this to test my changes visually, next to the unit tests.
In October, I started to have a real use for this library and started to implement it in my new project. I quickly discovered that both my unit tests and example.php
didn't catch all the situations. For example the most basic sad path (as opposed to happy path) caused errors, so instead I had to have it
throw exceptions and then catch it in my project code and that of the example.php page.
I'm not sure what the lesson is, but sometimes you can only find things out during real use, so maybe instead of an example.php, you could
use with a small Hello World application
Whether you intend of publishing your project or not, creating a readme is something that you also do for yourself. I still see many projects which have a really minimal readme or none at all. What said readme should include is another topic completely, but luckily for you there are already quite some blog posts about that.
Something that I only recently became well aware of is continuous integration. Especially the option of running your tests with different versions of
(in this case) PHP, is a wonderful thing and allows you to easily detect what your minimal version should be set to.
Don't be afraid for your git log to look like this, while you're figuring things out.
Tip: If you're using Composer and Travis-ci.org, use composer update
in the 'install' phase because
that will take care of the correct dependencies based on the PHP version you're running it from instead of taking it from your Composer.lock file
that has taken your development setup into account.


Entity Framework 7
How to Use Entity Framework Migrations
The Parts Unlimited model project is setup to use EntityFramework 7.
Set up Environment
- Open a new command prompt.
- Navigate to the src\PartsUnlimited.Models directory.
- Run
dnvm upgrade
to install necessary ASP.NET 5 tools, if not done already. - Run
dnu restore
to load all the packages needed by PartsUnlimited.Models project.
Setup Connection String
Entity Framework requires a connection string to the database to which the migrations will be applied. There are a couple places Entity Framework looks to find the connection string. The first is the OnConfiguring method in the DbContext for the project, ProductsUnlimitedContext in this case. Connection strings may also be specified the ConfigureServices method of the Startup class, which is what PartsUnlimited.Models has done. Our ConfigureServices method will look for connection strings in the config.json file or environment variables.
- Open src\PartsUnlimited.Models\config.json.
- Add a entry for DefaultConnection as shown below
"Data": {
"DefaultConnection": {
"ConnectionString": "Server=tcp:{server}.database.windows.net,1433;Database={database};User ID={AdminUserName};Password={password};Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;"
}
}
- Save the file.
How to Add a Migration
From the command prompt run dnx ef migrations add MyMigration
Migrations will be added to the database to described in the DefaultConnection configuration entry. The name of the migration must be unique.
How to Apply a Migration
From the command prompt, run dnx ef migrations apply
. The command must be run from the directory where project.json resides.
Entity Framework will inspect the database specified in the DefaultConnection connection string and apply any missing migrations. PartsUnlimited.Models has an InitialMigration already added. Migration information can be seen under src\PartsUnlimited.Models\Migrations.
Applying a migration does not automatically seed the database with data. The PartsUnlimited website is configured to input sample data into the database only if the tables are empty as is the case when apply the initial migration for PartsUnlimited.Models.
Migration Commands
There are several commands for EntityFramework, including listing available migrations, applying, removing and adding migrations. Run dnx ef migrations
to see a list of available commands.


Fan ‘Army’ Raves as K-Pop Sensation BTS Wins Big at the 2019 MTV EMAs in Seville
MTV Euro Music Awards had nominated Korean pop band BTS in four categories: Best Collaboration, Best Live, Best Group, and Biggest Fans.
by by Svetlana EkimenkoThe 2019 MTV EMAs were held on 3 November in Seville, Spain to celebrate the best and brightest in music, with Korean pop band BTS winning numerous awards despite being up against some big names in the industry.
Big Win for K-pop Kings
The seven-man K-pop sensation BTS took home a total of three awards from the EMAs after being nominated in four categories.
For the Best Live award, they went up against Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, P!NK, and Travis Scott.
The boy band, who also claimed Best Group, won the Biggest Fans award for the second year in a row, for their die-hard BTS Army, beating out fellow nominees Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, and Taylor Swift.
Needless to say, fans were over the moon, as they applauded their idols.
BTS accounts for $4.65 billion of South Korea's GDP per the Hollywood Reporter, and is the first group since The Beatles to score three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart in less than a year – a mindboggling feat considering their songs are mostly in Korean.
Their latest, an EP titled Map of the Soul: Persona, sold 3.5 million copies worldwide in the six months since its release, 562,000 of those in the US alone.
Last year BTS went on their third world tour - Love Yourself - which ended on 11 August, 2019 with a big show in the South Korean capital of Seoul.
The following day, their music label BigHit Entertaiment announced that the boy band was taking an extended hiatus from performing to to relax and "enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their 20s, albeit briefly". In October, the band made a comeback with a gig which marked their Saudi Arabia debut.

Sourdough Table Loaf
If you’ve never made your own sourdough bread, it can be intimidating! But I believe it is absolutely worth the time and effort. You can look up videos to explain some of the methods listed, such as the stretch and fold, or different ways to shape your loaf. Fermenting grains has been a tradition of home cooking for millennia, and an art only lost in recent years. Fermenting grains has numerous health benefits, is much easier to digest, and even contains natural preservatives. You can get a sourdough starter from any bakery in your area, or make your own from scratch! Also, if you don’t have a scale, get one!
Ingredients
- 100g fed sourdough starter (levain)
- 330g warm water
- 137g bread flour
- 250g all-purpose flour (avoid bleached and enriched)
- 87g rye or whole wheat flour
- 7g sea salt
Directions
- Combine sourdough starter with warm water, break apart and dissolve.
- Add flour and mix together gently to hydrate. Mixture will be very wet and sticky.
- Once there is no dry flour, let stand for 30 minutes (autolyze).
- Add sea salt.
- Wet hands and begin to stretch and fold dough to combine salt and to begin gluten formation.
- Add drops of water until dough becomes cohesive and supple with no toughness or resistance.
- Dough will prove on the counter top for 4 - 5 hours. About every 30 minutes, perform a stretch and fold. This involves grabbing the dough with a wet hand, folding over the top of itself, and repeating this step by turning the bowl and making your way around the dough. It will take some practice to work with a dough of this level of hydration, but will get easier!
 You can also perform a window pane test by grasping a pinch of dough and pulling it between your fingers. The dough should stretch enough to become see-through. This means enough gluten has formed that the dough is strong enough to hold large air bubbles as it bakes.
- Turn onto generously floured surface using a bowl scraper or spatula to protect the dough. Handling the dough gently will prevent deflation.
- Shape the dough: Take the two sides and fold them into the center of the wet dough. Then, take the top and bottom and fold them also over the center of the wet dough. Optional: grasp the edge of the dough closest to you and roll dough away from you into a tight loaf shape. Generously flour.
- Place into a dish about the size of the dough, a proving basket is ideal. Use a lot of flour in the bowl and on the loaf. The sides of the container should not be shallow, the goal here is to let the bread rest in the shape you want it to bake in.
- Refrigerate 12 - 24 hours, the longer the dough rests, the more sour your final product. I don’t recommend going over 24 hours but sour dough is fun to experiment with!
- Bring dough to room temperature, it should feel like a water balloon, giving resistance to touch with some spring.
- Put one oven rack in the center and another below it, place a pan of water on the lower rack. Preheat oven to 475 - 500 degrees F, depending on oven capability. The pan of water should create steam to help the bread expand.
- When oven is hot, turn bread into a baking vessel. I use a 8 inch springform pan, but a dutch oven is ideal. You can use any vessel that is rated for high temperatures. If using a dutch oven, keep it covered for the first 15 minutes, and you don’t need to use the pan of water.
- Flour the top of the loaf and score the bread with a razor blade (this is optional but creates an artisan look)
- Bake covered/steamed for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 425 F. If using steam, remove the water pan now.
- Bake for another 25 - 30 minutes until crust is a rusty color and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let bread cool completely before slicing. (if you can wait!)

The disclaimer in one of the late Michael Crichton's recent novel states, "This novel is fiction, except for the parts that aren't..." Likewise, Depth of Revenge is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. However, the reader can determine that the capabilities of the submarine and its weapons correspond to what has been reported in reputable media.
No. I'm an American. I've followed political and military developments for years and spent many hours conducting research while writing Depth of Revenge. I also had a draft reviewed by a recently retired 20 year veteran sonar operator and made changes necessary to keep the story as realistic as possible.
I'm not surprised that the ideas in the book would resonate with so many people. I'm a bit surprised that I was the one who was able to write the book.
I've thought about "what if" scenarios concerning Israel for some time. It seemed like a good idea for a story that showed one possible outcome to these events.
The information isn't really so "inside." There have been many articles about Israel's deterrent force and the Iranian threat. The information about the nuclear procedures is purely speculative.
We now know that British submarine commanders have been given a letter of last resort prior to the departure of their ballistic missile submarines. See the excellent slate article by Ron Rosenbaum concerning the letter of last resort. Israel is only about the size of New Jersey and has many more enemies than Britain so it is reasonable to suppose the existence of such a letter.
I wanted to convey the submarine commander's thoughts at the time the events were taking place and to illustrate how impressions are formed and decisions made based on limited information and assumptions. I also wanted the reader to know what alternative courses the submarine commander considered before taking action.
No. If there were to be a movie based on the book, I would hope that the commander and most of the characters be portrayed by an actor no older than mid-thirties for maximum realism.
Yes. See the link under "Purchase" on the home page of this site.


For this assignment we were instructed to choose a topic to research and then write about it. I chose to research the difference between margin, border, and padding.
Basically the padding is what exists between the content of a block and the border, the margin is what exists between the border and the edge of the block, and the border is what is in the middle. All three of these things can be non-existent, or they can have a thickness which can be specified using two different methods. Borders and padding can have a background, but the margin is transparent and will show whatever background it overlaps.
You can specify margin or padding on each side of the block individually, or all on one line as shown in the examples below. When the margin or padding is specified all on one line, the first number is the top and then rotates clockwise to right, bottom, and left.
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
If you want your entire block to take up a certain amount of space, the important thing to remember is that your border has a thickness, and the padding thickness extends to the inside edge of the border, and the margin thickness doesn't start until the outside edge of the border.
Thanks for reading my blog, I hope you learned something about padding, border, and margin!

[gecode-users] algorithm used in sequence constraint
Kish Shen
kisshen at cisco.com
Tue Aug 17 18:38:18 CEST 2010
Hi,
In the MPG, it is stated that the sequence constraint is implemented
using the domain consistent algorithm described in the paper by van
Hoeve and others.
Last year, Helmut Simonis contributed the sequence constraint for
ECLiPSe, and he used the (also domain consistent) algorithm described in
the paper by Maher and others in CP 2008. As fat as I can tell from
checking the two papers, Maher's algorithm was developed after the one
proposed by van Hoeve, and may be more efficient.
Was the reason for implementing van Hoeve's algorithm in gecode simply
because it was made before Maher's was published, or is there some other
reason for picking it?
Thanks and cheers,
Kish

Documentation
Basic concept
Since the version 7.0 the whole library has been rewritten and broken into multiple class modules to improve the readability and maintainability of the code. Since curtains.js is a high-level API library, most of those classes are used internally only. Even tho they are listed here you won't ever need to use them.
If you're coming from a previous version of the library, have a look at the migration guide.
Core
Main classes needed to create basic scenes.
-
Curtains v1.0
The Curtains class is responsible for the canvas and WebGL context and therefore creates a WebGL scene. It also creates a requestAnimationFrame loop and will draw every Plane elements that you've created.
-
Renderer
The Renderer class is handling everything related to the WebGL context (creation and restoration, extensions, WebGL commands, etc).
-
Scene
The Scene class is created by the Renderer. It manages the render order of every WebGL objects (planes, render targets and shader passes) added.
Read more about how the library draws the different objects. -
CacheManager
The CacheManager caches already compiled shaders, vertices and UVs arrays and images textures in order to reuse them whenever possible and avoid extra heavy computations.
-
CallbackQueueManager
The CallbackQueueManager is used to execute callbacks on the next animation frame call.
-
-
ScrollManager
The ScrollManager class adds a scroll event listener if needed and handles the update of the scroll values.
-
-
Plane v1.0
The Plane class creates a WebGL plane that is bound to a HTML element and that will be rendered at the sizes and positions of this HTML element.
It extends the DOMMesh class.
-
DOMMesh
The DOMMesh class extends the Mesh class by adding a few helper methods that relies on the associated HTML element used to create the Mesh.
-
Mesh
The Mesh class creates a WebGL mesh, i.e. creates a Geometry, a Program, the Mesh's uniforms and handles Textures creation.
-
Geometry
The Geometry class creates and binds the vertices and texture coordinates attributes buffers and draw the mesh.
-
Program
The Program class compiles the shaders and creates a WebGL program used by the Mesh.
-
Uniforms
The Uniforms class creates and updates the Mesh's uniforms.
-
-
-
Camera
The Camera class creates a perspective camera used to compute the plane's projection matrix.
-
-
Texture v2.0
The Texture class is used to create WebGL textures.
Frame Buffer Objects
Those classes are generally used to add post-processing effects to your planes.
-
RenderTarget v5.0
The RenderTarget class is a Frame Buffer Object used internally to create shader passes. It allows you to render one or multiple planes as a texture that you can then use in another plane or shader pass.
-
ShaderPass v3.0
The ShaderPass class extends the DOMMesh class.
ShaderPass elements are used to add post-processing effects. Think of it as an additional plane that will be bound to your WebGL canvas container.
You can add multiple shader passes and they will be applied one after the other in their creation order.
Loaders
Useful to create WebGL textures based on HTML media elements
-
TextureLoader v7.0
The TextureLoader class loads images, videos and canvases and creates Textures using those HTML elements as sources.
-
PlaneTextureLoader
The PlaneTextureLoader class extends the TextureLoader class. Used internally by planes and shader passes to load medias, use the resulting textures and fire the onLoading and onReady callbacks.
-
Math
Math classes used for 3D vectors and matrices calculations. Highly based on three.js and glMatrix maths classes.
Note that at the moment those classes are still not complete and implement only the methods needed internally by the library.
