Session one starts by discussing things that all parents can do to raise confidence in their children. In the second session we look at things that are particularly important if you live with anxiety. The workshops are fun and relaxed, and parents who have taken part before have said that they found them both useful and enjoyable. - faq_title: Am I expected to speak in the group? faq_markdown: > There's no pressure to share or contribute to the group if you'd rather not, attendees are free to sit back and simply listen to the facilitators. - faq_title: Do I need to bring anything? faq_markdown: | Everything you'll need will be provided including writing materials. - faq_title: Will I be expected to take notes or write things down? faq_markdown: > When you arrive we ask parents and caregivers to complete a few questionnaires. These questionnaires are provided by the service - either Brighton and Hove Wellbeing service or Health in Mind and they require us to collect this information each session. The second questionnaire is related to the Flourishing Families Clinic, as we mentioned above we're a new service and this means we're keen to get a sense of how we're doing, as part of this we ask you to complete a questionnaire at the first session and then the same questionnaire 3 months after you attended the group. As part of the group we provide parents with a booklet to work through at the start of each session. As we go through the session the facilitators will give time to complete the worksheets and will come round and discuss this with each person. These booklets will be yours to keep and we hope they're helpful for parents and caregivers as they begin trialling some of the techniques we cover in the group. - faq_title: >- Are there any childcare facilities available for my child whilst I'm in the group? faq_markdown: > Unfortunately we are currently unable to provide childcare for the children of parents attending the groups. In future we're hoping to secure enough funding to offer this service to allow more parents to engage with the groups. - faq_title: Is there parking available at the group venue? faq_markdown: > The Brighton groups are currently held at 'Mind' and there is **no parking** on site however there are nearby pay & display car parks. Groups over in East Sussex are currently held at Avenida Lodge, there is limited onsite parking so if you're attending this group we'd recommend arriving early so you can grab a space or have plenty of time to find other parking in the area. - faq_title: What about after I attend the group? faq_markdown: >- After attending the 'Raising Confident Children' group, if you've discussed receiving further support within the service then you'll go on to receive this. If not, you may be discharged from the service but this can be discussed with you practitioner. As part of follow up we've put together some resources that you'll be able to access after you've completed both sessions. We'll also be in touch in 3 months’ time via email to ask you to complete an electronic version of the questionnaire you completed in the first session. _options: layout: hidden: true permalink: hidden: true image_path: uploads_dir: 'assets/images/:year' width: 1200 height: 1200 resize_style: contain mime_type: image/jpeg main_image_path: uploads_dir: 'assets/images/:year' width: 1200 height: 1200 resize_style: contain mime_type: image/jpeg content: uploads_dir: 'assets/:year' _comments: title: Page title main_image_path: Image used to represent your page frontpage: Show this page on the homepage homepage_description_markdown: Text used on homepage if shown frontpagetitle: Alternative title for home page use faqs: Edit your FAQs ---
These workshops are currently not running due to coronavirus but we hope to start up again by the spring
Are you anxious? Are you a parent? Are you worried about the impact of your anxiety on your child?
We have just the thing for you!
Our Raising Confident Children course runs in various locations around Brighton and East Sussex. The group is for anxious parents and offers two short sessions aimed at improving mental health outcomes for parents and their children. The groups are also running as part of a wider research clinic aimed at exploring and developing the types of support offered to parents.
The course usually runs over two mornings, one week apart. The courses are run by trained mental health professionals and are usually attended by a group of 6-8 parents, all of whom experience anxiety. Session one will start by discussing things that all parents can do to raise confidence in their children. In the second session we look at things that are particularly important if you live with anxiety.
After you have completed the course, you will have access to our follow up resources. Click here to access the resources
Overall the course is good fun – we aim to have a bit of a laugh while talking about all the things that anxious parents can do, to raise confident children.
Both of these sessions were really useful to put everything in perspective and start to get back in control
My little boy slept in his own bed for the whole night for the first time in months...
It was helpful clarifying and separating the different anxieties …..and showing ‘doable’ ways of tackling them
there was so much information crucial for good parenting
I have never felt so good about myself as a parent
It was so helpful to hear other people’s examples and become aware that it’s not just you that has these problems
The 'Raising Confident Children' course is currently offered in Brighton through 'Brighton and Hove Well-being Service' and in East Sussex through 'Health In Mind'.
People are usually referred to the group by their clinicians following an assessment. If you're are interested in attending our group but aren't currently accessing mental health support you can refer yourself into both services online.
If you're living in the Brighton area please complete the online referral form for Brighton and Hove Well-being Service.
If you're living in East Sussex please complete the online referral form for Health in Mind

I really appreciate any support since it allows me to devote more time to open source projects. There are lots of ways to support me listed below, even some that don't cost you any money. Of course if you can't afford to donate, just using and sharing my software is great. Thank you.
You can support me directly with subscriptions through my store here.
You can also tip me directly using Cash App here.
The first two buttons use Coinbase Merchant which (as of June 2020) supports BTC, BCH, DAI, ETH, LTC and USDC. The only difference between the buttons is if you want to provide your email. While I don't currently have any reason for a mailing list, in the future if I started one (never more than once a month and likely less) you would be automatically on it. Of course, if I really had a serious need for one, I'd probably end up using a service that streamlines the process anyway. Update September 2020, for whatever reason the buttons might not work the way they should (load forever in my browser), so I've included equivalent links below (or just right click the buttons and open in new tab).
Here's a regular address that I use

HTML is great for declaring static documents, but it falters when we try to use it for declaring dynamic views in web-applications. AngularJS lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.
Other frameworks deal with HTML’s shortcomings by either abstracting away HTML, CSS, and/or JavaScript or by providing an imperative way for manipulating the DOM. Neither of these address the root problem that HTML was not designed for dynamic views.
AngularJS is a toolset for building the framework most suited to your application development. It is fully extensible and works well with other libraries. Every feature can be modified or replaced to suit your unique development workflow and feature needs. Read on to find out how.

This project started as a project for my Web Development class. The goal of the project was to use php to edit text over a background image to create memes. One of the issues was that you could not download the meme to share. I decided to remake the project using HTML5 Canvas. You are now able to download the meme you create.


The politeness system and the emergence of a Sprachbund
The great enigma of both the Spanish and Portuguese languages is the enormous complexity of their system of pronouns of address throughout their geographical areas. Despite the number of studies that have analysed the usage of the different alternatives, it is still a mystery why this feature has given rise to three main regions that are not even individually homogeneous. The Atlantic Ocean emerges as the boundary that splits the American and the European realities, but the south-western area of the Iberian Peninsula shows a mixed system that combines characteristics of both areas. The literature agrees in pinpointing a conjoint evolution in the Hispanic and Lusophone world, but everything changes in the 1700’s.
The War of Spanish Succession (1700-1714) resulted in the overthrow of the Habsburgs and the new reign of the Bourbons. Their establishment in the Hispanic world marked the beginning of France as the centre of prestige for the entire territory as well as the gradual decay of the southwest as a hub between America and Europe. By the early 19th century, the American possessions declared independence and Madrid became the focus of prestige within Spain. The same applies to Portugal, which lost Brazil, and Lisbon became the epicentre of prestige and encouraged the colonisation of Africa.
The late 18th century and the early 19th century attested profound changes in society as a result of two very important events: the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution. The former provoked the exodus from the countryside to the city and the emergence of the middle class; the latter changed the beliefs of western societies and the way people had to address each other. Politeness started to favour solidarity and to gradually dismiss hierarchy and deference. Simultaneously, western countries promoted the creation of standard languages, prompting a type of diglossia between standard and vernacular, urban and rural, literate and illiterate…
All these events materialised at the same time as America and the Iberian Peninsula followed different political paths. Nevertheless, the southwest maintained the secular relationships that had linked it to the other side of the Atlantic although it began to look at other places within Iberia. The 1700’s and 1800’s witnessed the decline of the southwest after centuries of prestige, the reciprocal isolation between the Hispanic and Lusophone Atlantic shores, and the creation of three macro-areas that embody the system of forms of address. But, above all, the 18th and 19th centuries represented the time period in which the south-western Sprachbund ended up establishing itself as a region of its own that has exhibited both American and European linguistic features until the present.
This project aims to find the geographical, sociological, political, pragmatic and grammatical patterns that favoured the emergence and later establishment of the south-western Sprachbund. In order to do so, I will research data that account for the evolution of the system of forms of address in the 18th and 19th centuries in western Andalusia and southern Portugal. My investigation will shed light on the likely influence of the other Ibero-Romance languages and the mutual conditioning of Portuguese and Spanish, but it will also determine whether the New World and the south-western Sprachbund have influenced one another despite the American independences or either of them has taken the lead over the other.
I invite you to dive into the complexity of politeness and forms of address, because they reflect much more than a simple strategy of treatment: they conceal the way a society thinks, they hint at geopolitical relationships, they reveal our beliefs.


BEHOLD, God’s Son is come unto this land
Of heaven’s hot splendour lit to life, when she
Of Thebes, even I, Dionysus, whom the brand
Who bore me, Cadmus’ daughter Semelê,
Died here. So, changed in shape from God to man,
I walk again by Dirce’s streams and scan
Ismenus’ shore. There by the castle side
I see her place, the Tomb of the Lightning’s Bride,
The wreck of smouldering chambers, and the great
Faint wreaths of fire undying—as the hate
Dies not, that Hera held for Semelê.
Aye, Cadmus bath done well; in purity
He keeps this place apart, inviolate,
His daughter’s sanctuary; and I have set
My green and clustered vines to robe it round.
Far now behind me lies the golden ground
Of Lydian and of Phrygian; far away
The wide hot plains where Persian sunbeams play,
The Bactrian war-holds, and the storm-oppressed
Clime of the Mede, and Araby the Blest,
And Asia all, that by the salt sea lies
In proud embattled cities, motley-wise
Of Hellene and Barbarian interwrought;
And now I come to Hellas—having taught
All the world else my dances and my rite
Of mysteries, to show me in men’s sight
Manifest God.
And first of Helene lands
I cry this Thebes to waken; set her hands
To clasp my wand, mine ivied javelin,
And round her shoulders hang my wild fawn-skin.
For they have scorned me whom it least beseemed,
Semelê’s sisters; mocked my birth, nor deemed
That Dionysus sprang from Dian seed.
My mother sinned, said they; and in her need,
With Cadmus plotting, cloaked her human shame
With the dread name of Zeus; for that the flame
From heaven consumed her, seeing she lied to God.
Thus must they vaunt; and therefore bath my rod
On them first fallen, and stung them forth wild-eyed
From empty chambers; the bare mountain side
Is made their home, and all their hearts are flame.
Yea, I have bound upon the necks of them
The harness of my rites. And with them all
The seed of womankind from hut and hall
Of Thebes, bath this my magic goaded out.
And there, with the old King’s daughters, in a rout
Confused, they make their dwelling-place between
The roofless rocks and shadowy pine trees green.
Thus shall this Thebes, how sore soe’er it smart,
Learn and forget not, till she crave her part
In mine adoring; thus must I speak clear
To save my mother’s fame, and crown me here
As true God, born by Semelê to Zeus.
 He thrusteth me away
From due drink-offering, and, when men pray,
My name entreats not. Therefore on his own
Head and his people’s shall my power he shown.
Then to another land, when all things here
Are well, must I fare onward, making clear
My godhead’s might. But should this Theban town
Essay with wrath and battle to drag down
My maids, lo, in their path myself shall be,
And maniac armies battled after me!
For this I veil my godhead with the wan
Form of the things that die, and walk as Man.
O Brood of Tmolus o’er the wide world flown,
O Lydian band, my chosen and mine own,
Damsels uplifted o’er the orient deep
To wander where I wander, and to sleep
Where I sleep; up, and wake the old sweet sound,
The clang that I and mystic Rhea found,
The Timbrel of the Mountain! Gather all
Thebes to your song round Pentheus’ royal hall.
I seek my new-made worshippers, to guide
Their dances up Kithaeron’s pine clad side. [As he departs, there comes stealing in from the left a band of fifteen Eastern Women, the light of the sunrise streaming upon their long white robes and ivy-bound hair. They wear fawn-skins over the robes, and carry some of them timbrels, some pipes and other instruments. Many bear the thyrsus or sacred Wand, made of reed ringed with ivy. They enter stealthily till they see that the place is empty, and then begin their mystic song of worship.]
A Maiden
From Asia, from the dayspring that uprises,
To Bromios ever glorying we came.
We laboured for our Lord in many guises;
We toiled, but the toil is as the prize is;
Thou Mystery, we hail thee by thy name!
Another
Who lingers in the road? Who espies us?
We shall hide him in his house nor be bold.
Let the heart keep silence that defies us;
For I sing this day to Dionysus
The song that is appointed from of old.

Whom erst in anguish lying
For an unborn life’s desire,
As a dead thing in the Thunder
His mother cast to earth;
For her heart was dying, dying,
In the white heart of the fire;
Till Zeus, the Lord of Wonder,
Devised new lairs of birth;
Yea, his own flesh tore to hide him,
And with clasps of hitter gold
Did a secret son enfold,
And the Queen knew not beside him;
Till the perfect hour was there;
Then a hornèd God was found,
And a God of serpents crowned;
And for that are serpents wound
In the wands his maidens bear,
And the songs of serpents sound
In the mazes of their hair.

FTSE 100 bounces back, Experian’s outlook helps main board
LONDON, Nov 12 — UK blue-chip stocks edged higher today, attempting to recover after being hit by escalating Hong Kong tensions and downbeat trade rhetoric in the previous session, while credit data firm Experian boosted the main board after it upgraded its revenue target.
The FTSE 100 was up 0.4 per cent as at 0805 GMT, and the midcap index rose 0.1 per cent, a day after Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage gave Tories a massive boost by saying he would not contest in the December 12 election.
Among blue-chips, Experian climbed nearly three per cent after it upgraded organic revenue growth target on the back of strong business in its main North American market, while industrial software company AVEVA added 2.7 per cent after upbeat results.
Discounter B&M European Value Retail weighed on the midcap index with a 10 per cent drop, after it said it was undertaking a review of its German unit to decide the future of the poorly performing business. — Reuters

Contrary to most of the reports I've read, my experiences with coke have been mostly positive. Following are descriptions of the two times I have used this powder.
First time: It was March 2005, during my spring break. I was in a very positive mood and was well rested. I went to my good friend Will's house for a night of kicking back and drinking; I had not seen him for a few months, so I was looking forward to talking with him and catching up on things. After having a couple beers and chatting with him a bit, Will pulls out a 1/2 gram bag of coke($20 worth around here) and begins to chop up some of it. I knew that Will did coke sometimes, and I was curious about the substance, so I told him that I would like to try some if it's okay. I asked him a few questions about it; the most important thing he told me was that if I only do coke very infrequently, on special occasions, then there will be no problems.
We each had 1/4 of a gram that night, beginning at 11PM and taking small lines and bumps throughout the night while continuing to drink. Snorting the coke was more comfortable than I had imagined, and I felt no pain while doing so. We spent the whole night listening to music and talking. Among other things, we talked about past events, our plans for the future, and our friends and family. We had very open conversations in which we shared with each other past mistakes and lessons learned from them, and what each of us percieved as his personal shortcomings.
The effects that the coke had on me include increased energy, increased heart rate, increased focus(usually alcohol slows me down mentally; coke counteracted this and then some), loss of social inhibitions, and a lack of fatigue/need for sleep. We finished the coke at around 3:30AM, and I went home at 5AM, having consumed a 12-pack. I felt a body buzz from the alcohol, but my mind felt none of the effects. I could not sleep at home, so I ended up staying awake and going to bed early the next night. No adverse effects followed my indulgence in the snow, and I didn't really think about coke for about two months afterwards.
Second time: Shortly after my graduation, Will invited me to a get-together that he was planning. He was inviting some longtime friends of ours and was planning to pick up some coke for the gathering. After pondering this for a minute, I told Will that I would be there. The day of the party, I was in excellent spirits; I was excited about seeing my friends, one of whom, Rocky, lives across the country and who I had not seen for over two years. Five of us came to the event. After arriving there, I learned that Will had obtained an 8-ball for $100. Other party favors consisted of a fifth of tequila, two cases of beer, and a small amount of dank that I had.
At 7PM, we began the night by each taking a couple shots of tequila. We chilled for a minute after that, playing poker and talking as Will prepared the first line for each of us. When it was my turn to blow at about 8PM, I sniffed up what I think is an average-sized line in two inhalations. Again, I felt no discomfort from the powder except for the bitter drip in the back of my throat that followed. Beer was very useful for killing that taste in my throat.
The effects the coke had on me include a boost in energy, a warm feeling throughout my body, increased focus, loss of social inhibitions, and increased heart rate. Mentally, I felt a peace of mind, similar to the feeling I have had when on ecstasy but without the speedy feeling, which I dislike. I felt like my mind had been purged of the various things that demand my attention throughout the day; I could focus completely on anything I wished.
I experienced these effects after every line I would take that night. Oddly, neither time while using coke did I feel any euphoria, the main effect sought by coke users.
Even though we were hanging out for 10+ hours, the time seemed to fly by. In summary of the night's key events, 1. we played Texas hold-em as a drinking game (loser(s) have to drink), 2. I had a nice conversation with Rocky, catching up on the things going on in our lives, 3. we smoked a couple bowls and drank like fish, 4. a LOT of talking took place, 5. we went outside at about 3:30AM to get some fresh air, and 6. we each had 5 average-sized lines spread out throughout the night, the last ingested around 4:00AM.
I estimate that we each had about .6-.7 grams of coke that night. I don't think the last line had much of an effect on me; around 4:30AM my memory gets very sketchy. I think maybe my mental fatigue began to overwhelm the effects of the coke. I remember feeling the most drunk I have ever been without getting sick. However, I still didn't feel like sleeping until I fell asleep around 6:30AM. I awoke at 10:00AM and, feeling no ill effects from the night before, went home for some much needed breakfast. That was a very laid back day during which I slept about 12-14 hours. I had a great time at the party even though my memory is a bit fuzzy at certain points.
Summary: I guess coke does not work as well for me as it does for others; I can think of no explanation for the lack of euphoria. Still, it was fun, but it is definitely not one of my favorites. I know the coke was good quality because the more experienced users told me they were feeling it. I will never buy my own bag of coke since it is ridiculously expensive and it doesn't seem to work well for me. I might try some in the future if it is offered to me, but I don't plan on trying coke again for quite some time.

Vectors¶
Index¶
Céu uses square brackets to index vectors:
Vec_Idx ::= Loc `[´ Exp `]´
The index expression must be of type usize
.
Vectors start at index zero. Céu generates an error for out-of-bounds vector accesses.
Length¶
The operator $
returns the current length of a vector, while the operator
$$
returns the max length:
Vec_Len ::= `$´ Loc
Vec_Max ::= `$$´ Loc
TODO: max
The vector length can also be assigned:
var[] int vec = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
$vec = 1;
The new length must be smaller or equal to the current length, otherwise the assignment raises a runtime error. The space for dynamic vectors shrinks automatically.
Constructor¶
Vector constructors are only valid in assignments:
Vec_Cons ::= (Loc | Exp) Vec_Concat { Vec_Concat }
| `[´ [LIST(Exp)] `]´ { Vec_Concat }
Vec_Concat ::= `..´ (Exp | Lua_Stmts | `[´ [LIST(Exp)] `]´)
Examples:
var[3] int v; // declare an empty vector of length 3 (v = [])
v = v .. [8]; // append value '8' to the empty vector (v = [8])
v = v .. [1] .. [5]; // append values '1' and '5' to the vector (v = [8, 1, 5])


Enter Date / Time:
Put the following 2 or 3 lines in your page's  section:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="datepicker.css">
On any <input> that you want to have a date picker for:
<input id="date_input" class="datepicker" size='11' title='D-MMM-YYYY'>
Use the  tag to create the calendar icon, best done with an icon font and CSS techniques. A subset of Open Iconic font is included with the package and used in this example.
On any <input> that you want to have a time picker for, set/add the 'timepicker' class:
<input id='start_dt' class='timepicker'> <input id='another_dt' class='myclass timepicker'>
Enjoy!


Installing Wordpress on a LAMP server for CentOS.
Install WordPress on your LAMP server – CentOS
Difficulty: 1
Time: 15 minutes
WordPress has become much more than its humble beginnings in 2003 as a self-hosted blogging tool; it is the Internet’s leading content management system (CMS). This open-source CMS powers all types of sites, including major brands such as The New Yorker, Variety, TechCrunch, and Best Buy. With a MySQL and PHP architecture, WordPress is easy to install, and has endless options for website configuration thanks to tens of thousands of plug ins and themes from its rich and active community.
This article will walk you through setting up WordPress on CentOS 6 or 7. The steps will be for a non-root user with sudo (administrator) privileges.
Prerequisites
Make sure that you have a non-root user with sudo (administrator) privileges set up on your CentOS server. You’ll also need a Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (LAMP) stack configured. Make sure that Apache, MySQL, and PHP are up and running. For a how-to on installing a LAMP stack on a specific server, see the following articles:
Make note of your MySQL root account (admin) password. You'll need it for these tasks.
- Restart Apache.
sudo service httpd restart
- Install
rsync
, a reliable file transfer and synchronization program, if you don't already have it.
sudo yum install rsync
Create a MySQL database and administrator for WordPress
Set up your MySQL database with an administrator so that WordPress has a place to store all your site and user information.
Remember: All MySQL
code statements must end with a semi-colon (;).
- Log into your MySQL admin account.
mysql -u root -p
- At the prompt, enter your MySQL root password.
- At the MySQL prompt, create your WordPress database. For this article, we’ll use the database name wordpress.
CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
- Create the database administrator account and set the user’s credentials. For this tutorial, we’ll use wordpressadmin as the example username, and wordpresspassword as the password.
CREATE USER wordpressadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'wordpresspassword';
As a good security practice, create a strong password. Keep your username and password handy, as you’ll need them later.
- Give, or grant, your admin permissions to the database.
 TO wordpressadmin@localhost;
GRANT
is one of the account management statements the MySQL server notices and loads into memory right away. A manual reload/restart should not be necessary. But, if you’d like, you can check the permissions using SHOW GRANTS
.
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'wordpressadmin'@'localhost';
-
If for some reason the privileges didn’t take, flush the privileges to activate the user. Flush forces a reload of the cache.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
You're finished!  WordPress is available in a tar.gz or zip format. We will be getting the tar.gz
file.
- Download the WordPress files from the official site using the
wget
command.
cd ~
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
This URL will always link to a compressed file of the latest stable version of WordPress.
- Extract, or untar, the application directory.
tar xzvf latest.tar.gz
This command creates the directory wordpress
in your home directory.
Configure WordPress
- Go into the
WordPress
directory that you just unpacked.
cd ~/wordpress
- Edit the following lines with the values in wp-config.php.
cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
- Open the config file in your text editor.
vim wp-config.php
- Look for this section of the code below (starting with
MySQL settings…
) and enter your corresponding values of the three DB_
variables (database name, database username, mysql root password) with the credentials you just created.
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'wordpressadmin');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'wordpresspassword');
- Save and close.
Copy files to document root
After you’ve configured WordPress, transfer the files to Apache’s root directory, so that the application can serve content to your site visitors.
- Transfer your WordPress files using
rsync
.
sudo rsync -avP ~/wordpress/ /var/www/html/
This will safely copy all of the contents from the directory you unpacked to the document root.
- Change ownership to Apache and then grant the permissions, so that WordPress can auto-update content.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www
sudo chmod 775 /var/www
Set directory permissions to allow uploads
Open the permissions of your uploads directory, so that you can upload images and other content to your site. The default permissions are too limiting.
- Create the
uploads
directory.
sudo mkdir /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads
This will be the parent directory.
- Apache needs to be able to write to the directory in order to save files in it. Change the ownership of the
uploads
directory to a group ownership and grant permissions.
sudo chown -R :apache /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/
sudo chmod 775 /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads
This step allows the web server to create files and directories under the directory, which means you’ll be able to upload content to the server.
Install WordPress
Good news: The rest of your installation will be done through the WordPress web interface.
- Enter your server’s domain name or public IP address in your web browser.
http://your IP
- At the WordPress configuration page, fill out your information to create your administrator account.
- WordPress confirms your installation by displaying your username and password.
- Click Log in. WordPress prompts you to log in with your new credentials.
- All done! You’ll be taken to the dashboard of your new site.
Next steps
Congratulations! You have installed WordPress and created the beginning of your own website.
From here you have many options for customizing your WordPress setup. A popular one is making pretty permalinks. See Set up WordPress Pretty Permalinks on Apache – ALL DISTROS for a step-by-step guide.

The CTO to VP Engineering Fork - by Julia Austin. Takeaway: “When you’ve decided it’s time to fork that technology leadership role and have both a CTO and a VPE, look for someone eager to create a partnership. Someone who prefers to lean into GSD and growing teams and who values the technology leadership, vision and evangelism of your CTO. Be leery of career CTOs who seek a role as VPE at your company — they may say they’re willing to be in charge of GSD, but could easily step on your CTOs toes.”
CTO vs VP Engineering: What’s the Difference? - by Ivy Exec. Takeaway: Spells out some of the key differences between the roles, and also touches upon program management.
Director to VP Engineering: What Is Expected and How to Prepare? - by Tao Wang. Takeaway: Insights into making the transition.
Hire a VP of Engineering - by Martin Casado. Takeaway: A VPE is responsible for product planning, building the engineering team and culture, ensuring execution, maintaining morale, delivering quality releases on time.
The Role of a VP of Engineering - by Bruno Miranda. Takeaway: VPEs are measured by the success of their team; set process in terms of “why we do what we do”; keep coding; manage up and down.
What Does a VP of Engineering Do? - by Dan DeMeyere. Takeaway: “VP’s of Engineering are essential to making sure the trains run on time and identifying the best way to lay down tracks. If the CTO knows the destination, the VPE is identifying the route to get there.”
“What Does a VP of Engineering Do, Again?” - by Raffi Krikorian & Dave Loftesness. Takeaway: a VP Engineering’s primary duties involve “establishing focus; leading and designing the engineering org; and representing engineering at the leadership level.”

We are the Computer Science Representatives to the Engineering Student Council, the direct arm of the UP Diliman Department of Computer Science in organizing events and activities to foster an environment that promotes academic excellence, professionalism and social responsibility. We represent over 400 undergraduate students taking BS Computer Science.
Walter Rafael Partosa Jr.
Menard Ysrael Cruz
We hold academic and review sessions to help students study before their exams. In the sessions, we tackle lessons covered and address questions students have about the topics.
The Calendar of Deadlines, Events, and Exams or CODEX is a web-app that is developed by the CS Representatives for the reference of the entire DCS community. A valuable asset to the average student, the CODEX is used by many to stay up to date on all department-related events.
Troubleshooter is the helpdesk of the CS Representatives. Computer Science students may direct all of their departmental concerns to the CS Representatives anonymously.
To address the growing demand for course-specific review material, the Computer Science Representatives are developing a web-app similar to other educational apps like Duolingo. Primarily, majors from the department will be included, but will branch out eventually to electives such as Physics and Math. A team of developers will ensure that this web-app will be open to use for all students of the department.
The Encrypt Locker System is a free locker usage system for DCS students. The lockers shall help students store their projects in the department for a limited time.
In order to bring the department community closer together, a series of events and activities called the C++ Initiatives have been designed to foster holistic development and provide students and faculty alike with a venue to relax and focus on non-academic activities.
Formerly known as the Dedicated Computer Science Students, the DCS Servers is the official volunteer corps of the Department of Computer Science. They organize the events of the department and cater to the needs of the Computer Science students. They also serve as an intermediary between the Students and the department's faculty.
The UP Parser is the College of Engineering’s first and foremost department-based publication. As the official student of the Department of Computer Science (DCS), The UP Parser aims to be the voice of the community it serves, a mediator between the department and student body.
August 24-28 | 1-5 PM


Monday, 10:00 PM - Monday Funday
I feel like I’m finally setting into a rhythm. Today we learned SQL - a database query language. It’s got some quirks, but it’s fairly straightforward for the most part and we got plenty of repitition in today. I feel as though I have a sense for it now, even if I don’t always understand why a complicated query works.
We had a party in the evening today and last week we had an Alumni AMA. It’s one thing to get the pitch for how awesome the DBC experience is upfront, to get it at regular intervals is such a blessing. This way when I’m struggling, I have a great reminder of why I applied in the first place. No matter where I go after DBC, I want to be invloved in recruitment events for this very reason.
My pair today was awesome. The topic was super boring, but since my pair had a sense of humor, it sucked less :).
Tuesday, 11:15 PM - Microaggressions
I learned something new about DBC today - they’re teaching us how to learn (by giving us more and more challenging tasks with less and less initial guidance).
We did SQL + Ruby today. No lecture, just tasks. We got to exercise our learning chops to figure it out. I’m mostly pleased with how my pair and I did today, but I always feel that I could have done better on days that I don’t finish all the challenges.
We had a difficult Engineering Empathy session today. It was on microagressions. Microaggressions are:
“Brief, everyday exchanges that send denigrating messages to certain individuals because of their group membership. … Microaggressions generally happenen below the level of awareness of well-intentioned members of the dominant culture. They are considered to be different from overt, deliberate acts of bigotry, such as the use of racist epithets, because the people perpetrating microaggressions often intend no offense and are unaware they are causing harm.”
Key points: everyday, unintentional, causes trauma. Microaggressions most commonly occur on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, or class. There are three main types of microaggressions: silencing, othering, and gaslighting. It makes me very sad that I did not learn about these things until now. As a woman I have experienced plenty of microaggressions, I’ve just accepted it as the way of things and continued on with my life. This is my first experience disussing this issue in a forum that treats it as something that can be addressed or influenced to change.  I don’t know what to do about the anger and powerlessness that I feel. What was hardest for me to learn was that some of my cohort-mates had no basis for understanding this problem - they had never experienced microaggresion because they had always belonged to the dominant social group. I can see why someone in a position of power would ignore the effects of injustice. I know becuase I’ve done it myself. It’s easy to take advantage of the situation and look the other way when you’re getting the better end of the stick. That being said, without, at a minimum, a desire to understand, I have no idea what I can possibly do to address this issue. It was the first time at DBC that I didn’t feel like an equal.
I’m left feeling hopelessly powerless and fruitlessly, miserably angry. I guess all I can do is gather allies, speak to microaggressions when they occur in my own life, and come up with some common ground or universal justification for why we should fix this besides my own suffering. I need to work on my language around this issue, and think up some relatable, accessible, non-inflammatory examples.
I have my checkpoint challenge tomorrow. I may need to teach myself some things on the fly (which is to say, I don’t feel 100% prepared). I may finish, I may not, but I will do my best to come into it with a good attitude. (Good luck to me!)
Wednesday, 4:41 PM - Assesments
Good news! Independent analysis says that I can program in Ruby. And it only took 12 weeks!
We had an assement this morning and then had our code reviewed in the afternoon. The reasoning behind this exercise was to determine if we had learned Ruby well enough to succeed in the next two phases at DBC. The feedback I got was “Fantastic job, I see no problems.” I recieved what’s called a “hard pass” in DBC Land. What this means is that next week I’ll be moving on to Phase 2 with the rest of my cohort that also received a pass. Cue cookie celebration.
Mmm … cookies
I didn’t have any panic attacks around how everyone else was doing, though DBC did include a helpful page on what to do if panic were to happen. They think of everything, these people. Also of note - I learned how to test output within Rspec, instead of working from the source file. Great Test Driven Development (TDD) moment.
Thursday, 6:30 PM - You Live, You Learn
Today was so, so bad. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, my roomate stole the bathroom and I was late … I felt completely awful all day. I made it through the day, tomorrow’s friday, there’s a party. My pair and I (thank god to him for putting up with my poor mood) make some solid strides in using ActiveRecord / Rails? / Ruby + SQL.
I’m unsure where my happy-go-lucky-ness has gone. Today, it’s important for me to remember that I always try my best, even when my best is a piss-poor attitude and a brain like mud.  We’re learning new material and that’s hard. It’s hard, there’s a lot of struggle, and a lot of insecurity. Tomorrow will be better, I’m sure of it. There are ups and downs, and it just so happens that today was a ‘down.’
Something I learned about meta-learning:
Asking the right questions is as much a skill as knowing the correct syntax. It improves with domain specific experience. But I realized that I shortchange myself when I have a problem (moreso when I’m tired or not feeling at my best). I assume that I’m dumb, and that someone ‘smarter’ will know the answer. In reality, someone willing to think about the problem, about the potential questions, and the potential solutions will have a good chance of finding the answer. Reminder to self not to automatically assume I’m not capable when I get stuck.
Saturday, 12:00 PM - Time to Celebrate
Friday we celebrated the #bumblegrads
The Bumblebee cohort demo-ed their final projects - fully functional webapps, built from the ground up in 7 days. I kept thinking to myself “I’m supposed to do that 5 weeks from now?! I have so much learning to do …”
Final Thoughts
What works?
- Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
###What doesn’t? - Trying to debug a problem without first considering why the issue may be occuring. Guess and check is a fabulous tool, but at some point rational thought is really helpful. - There is, unfortunately, such a thing as too many cookies.

By not having to declare every variables, programs become more flexible with static type. Although there are more possible errors and they are not as easily checked there is a lot more flexibillity, which is why these languages are created. Programmers however should know Static types languages C++ and Java. How to write in Static type, and know why dynamic type allows more flexbility, expression and speed.


A/B Testing
A/B testing is a pretty common technique nowadays in digital marketing, consisting in carrying out two different actions and comparing their results. For example, these results could be the conversion rate of a marketing campaign or the Click Through Rate. It is also widely used beyond marketing, tipically in areas such as pharmacology or psychology.
Let’s suppose we want to boost sales of a product or service and to do this we decide to create a new web design. We will carry out an experiment called A/B test and will be able to measure the influence of our changes. For that purpose we will split randomly our users in two groups: control group, which will see the web as it is now, and the experimental group, which will be shown the new design. Once finished the test, we will analyze both results to find out which web design led to best performance.
The key concept to remember here is that when doing such a test over a sample instead using the whole population, any metric we may study have associated some uncertainty that have to be taken into account when interpreting the results. In our case, for every user visiting our website, we can only get two different outcomes: client buys or not, client leaves the company or not…that is, success or failure. A random variable like this is said to follow a binomial distribution.
To properly design the experiment first we need to understand the difference between the two kind of errors we can incur when evaluating the results of the test. Let’s suppose we have already carried out the test and collected the data: For each proposed design we measured certain conversion rate (in our case, sales over visits).
One possibility is that the difference we found may have come up simply by chance: Let’s say, in fact, the new design does not bring anything new and it does not boost sales, but we have been “lucky” when distributing the potential clients in groups (remember this was a random process) and by pure chance we got more sales among the customers that saw the new website. This is known as a type I error (normally called \(\alpha\)). It is the probability of hallucinate, and believe our variante works best when actually it does not.
On the other hand, when designing an A/B test we also have to take into account we could make another kind of error. Let’s imagine the marketing team proposes a design that actually works (and when I say it works I mean that if I had a crystal ball I would find out it really works. To put it less flamboyantly: If we could make millions of visitors in our website we would conclude with no doubts that our new design boosts sales). However, as we can’t wait for so long to get the results, we will have to conclude based only on the results of a sample. But as in every sample, in some way the results we get depend on randomness, to how “lucky” we are when choosing the people in every group. This implies that, when evaluating the results we could end up having exactly the same conversion rate with both websites. Then, the million-dollar question: Are these results significant? Then, the new design has absolutely no effect? Or, analogously to the previous case, could it be that we had “bad luck” when splitting the groups and thus we are not seeing the effects of the new design? This is known as type II error (\(\beta\)): the probability of not getting significant results when actually there is a difference between the conversion rates of each group.
Technically speaking, in statistical inference we call hypothesis testing to the procedure followed to evaluate if a property of a population is compatible with the measurement from a sample. We define the null hypothesis \(H_0\) as the default hypothesis we want to challenge, the one we will keep if we can’t collect evidence against it. As opposed, we usually define implicitly the alternative hypothesis as “\(H_0\) is false”.
- The significance level or \(\alpha\) level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. 95% of significance means that, if we repeated the experiment many times, 95% of the times we obtain significance results it will be because indeed the variant conversion rate beats the control conversion rate, and only in 5% of the cases we will get a significant false positive
- \(\beta\) is the probability of not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. It is common to talk about statistical power (defined as 1 - \(\beta\)), which is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false. For example, planning an experiment to have 80% power implies that, if we repeat the test several times with a variant that indeed beats the conversion rate, we will obtain significant results 80% of the times. It’s the power of the lens, our capacity to accurately distinguish the difference between the conversion rates of both groups.
Taking all above into account, it is easy to see that when evaluating the results of the test we may stumble upon four different cases: * a) True positive: Results point out the success of the variant and actually, if we could carry out the test with the whole population we would see that the new design indeed boosts the conversion rate. * b) True negative: Results point out the variant doesn’t improves the control version and indeed it does not. * c) False positive (type I error): Results point out the variant has been a success, but actually this result is due to chance. * d) False negative (type II error): Results point out the variant does not improves the control version but actually it does but we haven’t collected enough data.
What role does it play the sample size in a A/B test? The more sample, the less uncertainty. We can calculate the uncertainty associated with an statistic with the next formula:
\[ \hat{p} \pm z \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}} \]
being \(\hat{p}\) the observed rate, z the Z-Score and n the sample size.
The Z-score of a measurement tell us where it is located in the distribution, that is, how far in standard deviations is that measurement from the average.
A common question when designing an A/B test is: how big my sample size should be?
To answer this question we can use the R function power.prop.test
which takes as arguments sample size, conversion rates of our groups, significance level and power: We set four of them to get the fifth one. So this is the perfect tool to design an A/B test: we can find out the required sample size to observe certain effects under a given error tolerance, or find out the statistical power of the test given conversion rates and sample sizes.
Through this tool we arrive to another important concept: MDE is the Minimum Detectable Effect we can find significant under certain significance assumptions and sample size. This term leads to another implicit idea: To be able to distinguish small effects we must have enough sample data, otherwise it’s easy to fail in a type II error (the difference exists but we are not able to detect it).
Given the four posibilities outlined above, we will design accordingly the test taking into account the consequences of the different error types. What are the consequences of concluding the new marketing campaign beats the old one? What are the consequences of choosing the former one and discard the new one because we haven’t found significant results due to not having collected enough data? We must face these questions when setting our tolerance to \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) errors. And there isn’t a unique valid answer for them: It is not the same to live in illusion thinking your new marketing campaing will boost sales by a 10% than announce in a scientific paper that you found the cure of cancer when the only thing you found in your data is statistic noise and you have been Fooled by Randomness. Therefore, those parameters are domain specific.
Finally, once set the required confidence, sized properly the experiment and collected the data, the question we try to answer now is: How likely is that we got certain apparently-good results purely by chance, and really there isn’t any improvement between conversion rates but we were truly unlucky with the measurements?
To find out if we got a significant result we can carry out an hypotesis test with the R function prop.test
.
The key concept here is the p-value. Let’s say we measure that our variant boost conversion rate from 5% to 8%. Is it a significant improvement? To answer this question we make use of a statistical test called Z-test which, given both ratios and sample sizes give us the probability of find a result as extreme by pure chance, assumming there is actually no difference between conversion rates. That probability is the p-value.
We only have left to compare the obtained p-value with the (\(\alpha\)) we previously set. If p-value < \(\alpha\) we will reject the null hypothesis, that is, we will claim our result as significant. Otherwise (p-value > \(\alpha\)) we won’t conclude our variante does not improve the default conversion rate, we only could say that we have no evidence about it improving it. Analogously, in court trials the term “not guilty” is used when no evidence is found against the defendant because that doesn’t mean he is innocent. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Given the uncertainty associated with the measurements, we can visualize the probability distribution of the conversion rates of each group in a plot like the one below: two binomial distributions centered around the sample statistics and how are they related with the main concepts discussed in this article: \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) and p-value.
Also, I have developed an small app to know whether our findings are significant and to learn how these concepts (Power, \(\alpha\) error, sample size and effect size are related). Check it out!

I have always wanted to do drugs. There was never a time when I actually believed that all drugs are bad. I also refused to seek them out. When they came to me, fine. Problem is I'm also a bit impatient...
I was about 13, maybe 14. I was watching The Basketball Diaries. This was before I had smoked weed, gotten drunk, let alone any actual drugs. In the beginning of the movie they soak rags in something (I can't remember what now) and sniff. Despite them getting sick in the movie I began to search my room for something to sniff. I happened across some nail polish remover.
I soaked some tissues and held it up to my nose, and I breathed in. I did this a couple of times and I got all spacy like. My fingers and toes began to tingle, this is common when people don't have enough oxygen. I got a little giddy (though I can get just as giddy hanging out with my friends, sober). My head felt light-headed. The movie was still playing but it was hard to see colors. I felt like I was moving very slowly.
This became a regular pattern for me. I started sniffing nail polish remover every night. It made it much easier to go to sleep, as I would just sniff until I passed out.  She was only going to believe I had spilled the bottle for so long. Eventually I had to move on.
The only time I will sniff now is if I'm rolling, and then just about anything feels good anyway. Sniffing is kinda dumb.  It can give you monster headaches and make you smell really bad. If you want something legal that will get you high take NoDoze or something. Most people that I know who sniff are young. It's basically something you do until you can get your hands on something else. My advice, just wait for that something else.

BW
An application framework
Source code language(s)
What language(s) should BW applications be written in?
Candidates need to be:
- Object Oriented
- Can build graphic applications
- Can handle large applications (ie: lots of source)
- Good development tools
- Widely available
- Can build distributed applications
- Long term viability of the language
Widely available object oriented languages are:
Both C++ (via C), Smalltalk, and Java are supported graphically on every platform
of commercial interest. Smalltalk has already proven to be unsuitable for
large scale high performance use.
Java is appropriate for the following tasks:
- Scripting (via Javascript)
- Extending HTML with custom features (ie: controls on web browsers)
- Server administration (via HTML)
- Simple server front ends
- Applications that are primarily graphical in nature, not compute
intensive, and that do not requiring extensive OS services.
Java's strengths are it's platform independence, platform independent
windowing, small executable size, understanding of network protocols,
understanding of image formats, and built-in multithreading.
Java's weaknesses are performance, access to OS services other than
high level networking, and lack of facilities for customization and
localization (no resources (as of version 1.0), no preprocessor, no templates).
Java is a proprietary language and its future is entirely dependent on the
fortunes of Sun. Java apps
and applets are platform independent only if they use exactly the facilities
defined by Sun. The most serious problem is that
Sun's licencing restrictions prohibit the promotion of
alternative APIs to basic facilities (ie: prohibits the creation of
isolation layers like BW).
There is a standard, if awkward, way to call outside of the Java
virtual machine and other standard connections such as communication
over a network connection or pipe to another process can be used to
access functions written for "C". Although Java
native compilers (including "just in time" compilers) will improve the
performance of java applications over time, the language is missing features
such as inline functions, ability to do dangerous casts, customizable
storage allocation, and templates
that assist writing highly efficient code.
C++ is appropriate for the following tasks:
- Servers
- Larger graphic applications
- Complex controls
- Applications that need extensive OS services
C++'s strengths are its abilities as a meta-language, it's privileged
status (because of C) with the OS, it's lack of "cliffs" (if it can be done,
it can be done in C++), its tools (again via C) for interpreting application
specific languages, a large base of open source code,
and it's ability to produce large high performance applications
while retaining type safety and clean designs (templates and inlines).
C++'s weaknesses are the lack of a standard windowing interface, no
facilities for localization, dangerous multithreading constructs,
the low level of its interfaces, and large platform specific
binary executable size.
BW applications will be written mainly in C++, with use of
Javascript, and Java in HTML output.
It is unfortunate that Java is so proprietary and immature, because
Java has more of the low level work required for the target applications
already done.
However, given the current (97/5/5) status of Java and it's standardization
efforts, it is
unclear how many of the target applications can be
accomplished solely in Java in a sufficiently platform independent way.
Also large scale use of Java is untried at present. In contrast,
I have high confidence in the ability to accomplish everything in C++, and
the language has already been used for larger projects. Thus, it is the
prudent choice.
An expanded role for Java should be evaluated if the following
happens:
- The source for a java compiler and interpreter is available in open source
format.
- There are Java to C++ translators available.
- There are alternative implementations from numerous vendors.
- Java becomes or is well along the way to being an internationally
standardized language with the corresponding relaxation of licensing
restrictions.
Isolation decisions
BW is not a standard or a specification, it is a series of decisions
about what to use directly, what to use with isolation and what to
implement to aid portability. These decisions are made
"as required" to implement target applications. I am writing them
down here so that these decisions will be applied consistently across
all code.
This document just lists the decisions and the rationale for them.
Details of the defined APIs are documented elsewhere.
- assert -- implemented
- I decided to implement a custom assert macro rather than depend on
the "C" and "C++" standard. This package also includes a 'trace' iostream
that can be used to display trace output.
- Exceptions -- incomplete
- BW has it's own exception hierarchy independent of the standard
library hierarchy. This decision needs to be revisited.
The unexpected handler is set to rethrow the unexpected exception
after printing a trace message (in debug only).
- iostream -- direct
- I decided to use iostream for character based I/O and in-memory
formatting. If the provided library is inadequate, it can be replaced by
including a header file with the same name in front of the standard library
on the include path. Note that this library is not guaranteed to be thread
safe. The relevent include files are <iomanip>, <ostream>, <streambuf>,
<ios>, <iosfwd>, <iostream>, <sstream>, <istream>, <fstream>.
- String -- implemented
- The standard library string class has few operations and undefined memory
allocation characteristics. BW strings are not thread safe.
A pending decision is wide character string
support (always or sometimes). Thus, the C++ standard <string>
header file should not be used.
- String constants -- draft
- In order to aid localization, string constants are defined in a way that
their value can be changed at runtime to localize or customize the product.
- Source comments -- implemented
- A source comment extractor generating HTML has been written.
- Namespace
- The namespace for isolation objects is "bw".
- std data structures and algorithms - direct
- This adds the following header files to the "approved" list:
<algorithm>, <bitset>, <deque>, <functional>,
<iterator>, <list>, <map>, <numeric>, <queue>, <set>,
<stack>, <valarray>, and <vector>.
- Other standard headers - TBD
- These are: <complex>, <exception>, <limits>,
<locale>, <memory>, <new>, <stdexcept>,
<typeinfo>, and <utility>.
In general, the C++ compiler and the standard C++ library do not need
much of an isolation layer. The ability to provide an include path as a
compilation parameter provides a sufficient level of indirection. In
environments without an adequate standard library implementation, another
implementation can be substituted.
Still needs to cover:
- Metadata (for scripting and distributed access)
- Run time linkage
- Object model
