The isolated atoms of most elements are colourless (unless you understand ‘colour’ in a more technical sense). Assigning specific colours to atoms according to the CPK system is a convention that helps distinguish the elements visually. The animated atom – created in pure CSS – could be Manganese.

Local awarded honourary doctorate
Decades of dedication to her profession has earned local nurse, Sponono Baloyi an honorary doctorate from Tshwane University of Technology at the age of 79.
by Desiré FourieBorn in Sabie, Baloyi moved to Johannesburg after high school to study general nursing at the Raheema Moosa Mother and Child Hospital, previously known as Coronation Hospital. After that, she went on to study midwifery at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, also in Johannesburg, before returning to the Lowveld to work at Rob Ferreira Hospital.
In 1971 she won the Jimmy Liston Memorial Award from the South African Institute of Public Health for obtaining the highest marks in the country while studying public health at Wits Advanced Technikon.
It was as community health nurse for the Nsikazi Region under the Themba Hospital in KaBokweni that she found her passion in the prevention of non-communicable childhood diseases. She was part of a team that conducted mass community health education and immunisation campaigns against diseases such as tetanus, whooping cough, measles, diphtheria and tuberculosis.
“I can proudly say now that most of those diseases I had worked so hard to prevent have mostly been wiped out,” she said.
As senior community health nurse, she had to travel even greater distances to promote health care, and to ensure that clinics rendered accessible quality health care.

From Themba Hospital she moved on to KaNgwane Government Head Office and during this period she won the Dettol Nursing Award for infection control in KaNgwane.
Awarded the opportunity to travel to the US as part of the USAID Africa Leadership Programme in 1984, she spent two weeks visiting rural areas to learn about community health care.
“It was tough. There were eight of us from developing countries and I had never been on a plane before, and back then it was difficult to move around. We were tested on our leadership and problem-solving skills in this way.”
She also received a scholarship from the British Council to study at the University of Bristol in the UK and spent a year doing her masters degree in primary health care. Baloyi later moved on to politics, first as minister of health and welfare in the KaNgwane government and then as a member of parliament for 10 years.
“I was very privileged to be on the health committee and to have been part of the changes in South Africa at that time. I think anyone would say they were lucky if they were able to work in the new government under the leadership of the late president Nelson Mandela.”
Baloyi retired in 2004 and moved back to Mbombela from Cape Town. These days she spends time with her family and relishes her “me time” after being so busy for five decades of her life.

101 labeled brain images and a consistent human cortical labeling protocol
Arno Klein, Jason Tourville. Frontiers in Brain Imaging Methods. 6:171. DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2012.00171
http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnins.2012.00171/full
There are quite a few possible ROIs in the label atlas (see below). If you want to extract a specific ROI, you can use the following Convert 3D code. Use the label image as your input image, threshold the label image the exact label you want. For example, if you want the left hippocampus use label number “17”. Convert 3D will take anything labeled “17” and make it a value of “1” and anything NOT labeled “17” a value of “0” and output the new ROI image:
When you’ve run antsRegistrationSyNQuick.sh you are given a warp and inverse warp image that lets you move between moving and fixed space. For example, let’s say you have the thalamus traced in your template image and you want to “trace” the thalamus in each of your participants. It makes sense then to have your template image as the moving image (-m) and each participant image is a new fixed image (-f).
When you take the template and normalize to participant:
Warp matrix represents anything in template space and making it look like the participant
Inverse warp matrix represents anything in participant space and making it look like the template
Applying the warp matrix to the thalamus ROI (template space) will change the ROI to participant space (the results we want).
The ANTs code to do this is:
Another example, let’s say you have a population of severe TBI participants in which you’ve already generated ROIs around the major brain lesions and you want to see if there’s similarity across participants where lesions occur. It makes sense then to have your template image as your fixed image (-f) and each participant image is moving (-m).
When you take the participant and normalize to template:
Warp matrix represents anything in participant space and making it look like the template
Inverse warp matrix represents anything in template space and making it look like the participant
Applying the warp matrix to the lesion ROI (participant space) will change the ROI to template space (the results we want).
The ANTs code to do this is:
You do not have to rerun antsRegistractionSynQuick.sh if your fixed and moving images are not precisely correct. You can always apply the inverse warp when needed. Let’s go back to the second example where the template image is the fixed image (-f) and each participant is a moving image (-m). Let’s say that you want to move a hippocampus ROI in template space to participant space:
If You Used ANTs Cortical Thickness
If you have already run ANTs Cortical Thickness using the OASIS template the code you need to use to move the ROI in template space to participant space is as follows:
You can then clean these ROIs if they are tissue specific. For example, you can clean the hippocampus ROI by multiplying by the gray matter tissue segmentation to remove any extraneous CSF or WM:
Extract ROI Values
For the example, we will use our tissue segmentation from the ANTs Cortical Thickness pipeline.
Generate Data
After logging into the supercomputer, we are going to use Convert3D tool to extract the various tissue volumes:
Regular Expressions
The file is not perfectly formatted so that it can be easily imported into R or even useful in Excel. Some editing of the file needs to happen and we can use the power of Regular Expressions in Terminal to edit the file. Just make sure to change the username in the first line of the code.
Note this code works for the SOBIK dataset. If you have different subject IDs, you’ll need to edit the regular expression in line #5. If you need more help figuring out regular expressions visit this website here:


Commuter spotted brushing teeth and spitting on busy Tube platform
Melissa Thermidor said she was shocked when she saw what was happening.
A commuter has been criticised for cleaning his teeth and spitting on the floor of a busy Tube station during rush hour.
Melissa Thermidor, a social media lead for the NHS Blood and Transport team, spotted the man on her morning commute.
She was waiting for a Northern line service from Euston when she saw him cleaning his teeth, without water, on the platform.
Ms Thermidor told the PA news agency: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“He then proceeded to spit on the platform and boarded the next train.
“People just sort of shifted but no-one said anything. I didn’t see any toothpaste but he could’ve applied it beforehand.”
Ms Thermidor said she was left shocked and concerned.
“As someone who works for the NHS I was concerned about health and safety,” she said.
“Plus someone could’ve slipped and there’s the issue around germs as well.
“I hope he’s OK but also think that the Tube isn’t the place for this sort of behaviour.”
Transport for London’s chief customer officer, Mark Evers, said: “It’s important that everyone is able to travel comfortably and we run regular Considerate Travel campaigns to raise awareness of how we can make travelling easier for fellow passengers.
“This includes encouraging people to look up to see if a fellow passenger may be struggling to stand and needs a seat, and encouraging people not to play loud music, eat smelly food or wear a backpack on a crowded vehicle.
“Clearly, spitting is unacceptable behaviour and is completely at odds with the work we do to ensure everyone has a pleasant journey.”

Hi Christian and Guido,
Thanks for your replies!
I was looking at the "Modelling with Gecode", or at least an early
version that Guido sent me. What I wasn't aware of was that you can do a
simple assignment between two IntVars, as in "space.cost = x". This
probably reflect my lack of knowledge in C++, but what exactly does such
an assignment mean?
Thanks and cheers,
Kish

--- date: 2017-05-17T22:00:15Z title: "Using travis-ci in research compendia and student repos" ---
In general I’m a big believer in the R package mechanism as a convenient way to package and distribute a reproducible compendium of code, data, notebooks and manuscripts. However, it’s often overkill, particularly since passing basic continuous integration checks (e.g. via devtools::use_travis()
) means running a relatively strict R CMD check
that will worry about things such as documentation norms and details that aren’t always appropriate.
What I most want is an easy way to confirm that any .Rmd
notebooks in a repository can be successfully knit on an independent machine – i.e. that the compendium can access all the software / functions and data it needs. Sure, some additional checks might be necessary (though these are sometimes best formulated in possibly-hidden .Rmd
chunks), but this would detect the main ills such as failing to load libraries or using user-specific absolute paths.
A light-weight solution proposed in this ropensci thread inspired me to write this mock-up compendium which does just that, using a DESCRIPTION file to indicate dependencies and other metadata, and a test.R
script called by .travis.yml
to rmarkdown::render
all the .Rmds
:
A minimal DESCRIPTION:
Package: compendium
Version: 0.1.0
Depends: tidyverse, rmarkdown
A Package name and version are required for devtools::install()
to work. Hopefully this approach also helps transition users towards providing more metadata in DESCRIPTION files, such as Author, author role, and License information.
Here’s my test.R
script:
f <- list.files(recursive = TRUE)
Rmds <- f[grepl(".Rmd$", f)]
lapply(Rmds, rmarkdown::render)
though one could clearly imagine permutations on this. (The thread discusses supporting make
, or using a particular directory structure to decide what does and doesn’t get run.)
Getting this to exploit r-travis
(which does a nice job of handling key things like installing and caching installs of packages) involves just a minor tweak to providing a different script:
testing routine from the default of R CMD build
, R CMD INSTALL
and R CMD CHECK
:
.travis.yml
:
language: R
sudo: false
cache: packages
script:
- R -e "devtools::install()"
- R -f test.R
We’ll see how this goes in practice.

You will often want to select an entire column, namely one specific variable from a data frame. If you want to select all elements of the variable diameter
, for example, both of these will do the trick:
planets_df[,3]
planets_df[,"diameter"]
However, there is a short-cut. If your columns have names, you can use the $
sign:
planets_df$diameter
$
sign to select the rings
variable from planets_df
. Store the vector that results as rings_vector
.rings_vector
to see if you got it right.
load(url("http://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.datacamp.com/course/intro_to_r/planets.RData"))
# planets_df is pre-loaded in your workspace
# Select the rings variable from planets_df
rings_vector <-
# Print out rings_vector
# planets_df is pre-loaded in your workspace
# Select the rings variable from planets_df
rings_vector <- planets_df$rings
# Print out rings_vector
rings_vector
msg = "Do not remove or overwrite the `planets_df` data frame!"
test_object("planets_df", undefined_msg = msg, incorrect_msg = msg)
test_object("rings_vector",
incorrect_msg = "Have you correctly selected the `rings` variable from `planets_df`? Use `$rings`. Store the result as `rings_vector`.")
test_output_contains("rings_vector", incorrect_msg = "Don't forget to print out `rings_vector` after you've created it!")
success_msg("Great! Continue to the next exercise and discover yet another way of subsetting!")
planets_df$diameter
selects the diameter
column from planets_df
; what do you need to select the rings
column then?

The Markov Chains that we have been studying have stationary distributions that contain much information about the behavior of the chain. The stationary distribution of a chain is a probability distribution that solves the balance equations. For some chains it is easy to identify a distribution that solves the balance equations. But for other chains, the solution can be complicated or tedious. Let's see if we can find a simple way to solve the balance equations.
Recall our earlier image of what is being balanced in the equations. Imagine a large number of independent replications of the chain. For example, suppose a large number of particles are moving among the states according to the transition probabilities of the chain, all moving at instants 1, 2, 3, $\ldots$ independently of each other.
Suppose the chain is in steady state. As we said earlier, if you think of $\pi(k)$ as the proportion of particles leaving state $k$ at any instant, then the balance equations
$$ \pi(j) = \sum_{k \in S} \pi(k)P(k, j) $$say that the proportion of particles leaving state $j$ is the same as the number of particles entering it. Hence the chain is balanced.
Notice that the left hand side is just the proportion of particles leaving $j$; there is no information about where the particles are going.
Now suppose there is detailed balance, given by
$$ \pi(i)P(i, j) = \pi(j)P(j, i) ~~~ \text{for all states } i \ne j $$These are called the detailed balance equations. They say that for every pair of states $i$ and $j$, the proportion of particles that leave $i$ and move directly to $j$ is the same as the proportion that leave $j$ and move directly to $i$. In the case $i = j$ the equations carry no information and hence are left out.
That turns out to be a stronger condition than balance.
Suppose there is a probability distribution $\pi$ that solves the detailed balance equations. Then $\pi$ also solves the balance equations.
\begin{align*} \sum_{k \in S} \pi(k)P(k, j) &= \sum_{k \in S} \pi(j)P(j, k) ~~~ \text{(detailed balance)} \\ &= \pi(j) \sum_{k \in S} P(j, k) \\ &= \pi(j) \cdot 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \text{(sum of }j\text{th row of transition matrix)} \\ &= \pi(j) \end{align*}What we learn from this is that if we can find a solution to the detailed balance equations, we will also have solved the balance equations.
This is helpful for two reasons:
Of course all the $\binom{s}{2}$ equations need not be consistent, in which case there will not be a solution to the detailed balance equations. In such situations we'll have to slog our way through solving the balance equations directly. But here is an example that shows that if the detailed balance equations do have a solution, we have an easy way at arriving at the stationary distribution of the chain.
We have returned to this example because it is one where solving the balance equations involves some labor. We will show that for this chain and others like it, the detailed balance equations can easily be solved, giving us a quick route to the stationary distribution.
The state space is the integers 0 through $N$. Recall how the transitions work: at each step, the chain either goes up by 1, stays the same, or goes down by 1. Such chains are called birth and death chains and are used to model many different random quantities such as gamblers' fortunes or population sizes. In our example, we are modeling the size of the population of gas particles in a container.
For such chains, most of the transition probabilities are 0 because in one step the chain can only move to the two neighboring states. So most of the detailed balance equations are trivially true. For the ones the involve positive tranistion probabilities, the states $i$ and $j$ have to be separated by 1 (remember that the detailed balance equations specify $i \ne j$). And in that case both $P(i, j)$ and $P(j, i)$ are positive, as the chain is irreducible.
This allows us to solve the detailed balance equations, for example by starting at the lowest state and moving up. Remember the transition rules:
The detailed balance equations are easy to solve sequentially:
\begin{align*} \pi(0)\frac{1}{2} &= \pi(1)\frac{1}{2N} ~~ \implies ~~ \pi(1) = N\pi(0) = \binom{N}{1}\pi(0) \\ \\ \pi(1)\frac{N-1}{2N} &= \pi(2)\frac{2}{2N} ~~ \implies ~~ \pi(2) = \frac{N-1}{2}\pi(1) = \frac{N(N-1)}{2}\pi(0) = \binom{N}{2}\pi(0) \\ \\ \pi(2)\frac{N-2}{2N} &= \pi(3)\frac{3}{2N} ~~ \implies ~~ \pi(3) = \frac{N-2}{3}\pi(2) = \frac{N(N-1)(N-2)}{3\cdot 2} \pi(0) = \binom{N}{3}\pi(0) \end{align*}and so on, so that for $1 \le k \le N$, $$ \pi(k) = \binom{N}{k} \pi(0) $$ by a far easier induction than the one needed to solve the balance equations. The sum of the terms in the solution is
$$ \pi(0)\big{(} 1 + \sum_{k=1}^N \binom{N}{k} \big{)} = \pi(0)\sum_{k=0}^N \binom{N}{k} = \pi(0)2^N $$by the binomial theorem. So $\pi(0) = 2^{-N}$ and the stationary distribution is binomial $(N, 1/2)$.
At this point it is worth remembering that for numerical value of $N$ you can just use steady_state
to find the stationary distribution, relying on Python to do all the work for you. This has some clear advantages but also some disadvantages:
Suppose a chain has states 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 arranged in sequence clockwise on a circle. Suppose that at each step the chain moves to its clockwise neighbor with probability $p \in (0, 1)$ and to its counterclockwise neighbor with probability $q = 1-p$.
It is clear that the transition matrix is doubly stochastic: each column has one entry equal to $p$ and another equal to $q$, and all the others are 0. So the stationary distribution of the chain is uniform on the five states.
So we don't need the detailed balance equations to find the stationary distribution. But let's see if they are satisfied. Unlike the Ehrenfest chain above, this chain can "loop back around." So it's not clear that the detailed balance equations have to be consistent.
The detailed balance equations are:
\begin{align*} \pi(0)p = \pi(1)q ~~~~ \implies \pi(1) = \frac{p}{q}\pi(0) \\ \pi(1)p = \pi(2)q ~~~~ \implies \pi(2) = \frac{p^2}{q^2}\pi(0) \\ \pi(2)p = \pi(3)q ~~~~ \implies \pi(3) = \frac{p^3}{q^3}\pi(0) \\ \pi(3)p = \pi(4)q ~~~~ \implies \pi(4) = \frac{p^4}{q^4}\pi(0) \end{align*}So far so good, but now for the moment of truth:
$$ \pi(4)p = \pi(0)q ~~~~ \implies \pi(4) = \frac{q}{p}\pi(0) $$For this system of equations to be consistent and have a positive solution, the two expressions for $\pi(4)$ must be equal, which is equivalent to
$$ \frac{p^4}{q^4} = \frac{q}{p}, ~~~ \text{that is, } ~p^5 = q^5 $$This can only happen if $p = 1/2$, and in that case the detailed balance equations say that all the entries of $\pi$ are equal, which we already knew.
To summarize:
Clearly, $p = 1/2$ has a special status. What exactly does that mean for the behavior of this chain? That's the topic of the next section.

DFS Testing
DFS is a feature that monitors the spectrum and selects a frequency for operation that is not already in use to avoid causing interference to radio transmissions such as weather or military radar. It is a function imposed by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for devices operating in the 5GHz UNII band, where the radar systems are guaranteed to have spectrum protection. If the device detects that a radar is present, it must either select an alternative channel or enter a “sleep mode” if no channels are available.
Our DFS test system supports the waveform playback mode allows to create standard-compliant or customized waveform files for DFS R&D or performance test. It can support global DFS standards including FCC, ETSI, Japan MIC, Korean and China DFS standards with all compliant Radar waveform types.
| Region | Test Spec |
|---|---|
| FCC | – FCC version 06-96 and version 13-22 – Type 0-4 short pulse radar test waveforms (New Type 1 is defined in FCC 13-22) – Type 5 long pulse radar test waveforms – Type 6 frequency hopping radar test waveforms |
| ETSI | – ETSI EN 301 893 V1.8.1 and ETSI EN 302 502 v2.1.1 |
| Japan MIC | – Japan MIC W53 and W56 radar test signals |
| Korea | – Type 1-3 fixed or variable radar profiles – Type 4 hopping radar profiles |
| China | – Radar Type 1-4 are constant PRF based signals. – Radar Type 5 and 6 are single pulse based or packet based staggered PRF radar test signals using 2 or 3 different PRF values. |
SAR Testing
The measurement of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a commonly used method to quantifying the amount of energy absorbed by biological tissue, when exposed to RF Electromagnetic Fields radiated by mobile phones and similar portable/body worn devices.
The ICNIRP and NRPB have published guidelines on the limiting of exposure to RF fields and many countries have defined regulating standards to limit SAR limit according to the guideline. Vista can provide SAR testing service to meet global standard requirements.
| Region | Test Standard |
|---|---|
| United States | IEEE 1528, IEEE C95.1, OET 65C |
| Canada | RSS 102 |

In chemistry, molecules are groups of atoms bonded together, which take on new properties as a result. In interfaces, molecules are groups of elements that function together as a unit. For example, a form label, search input, and button atom can combine them together to form a search form molecule. Building up from atoms to molecules encourages a “do one thing and do it well” mentality, and encourages creating reusable interface patterns..

unnecessary, especially when your application is spread out over multiple files.
This is where the runtime
optional transformer comes in. All of the helpers
will reference the module babel-runtime
to avoid duplication across your
compiled output.
Another purpose of this transformer is to create a sandboxed environment for your
code. Built-ins such as Promise
, Set
and Map
are aliased to core-js
so
you can use them seamlessly without having to require a globally polluting
polyfill. This is fantastic for libraries as you can
write your code without the cognitive overhead of worrying about the environment
that it's going to be ran in.
See the technical details section for more information on how this works and the types of transformations that occur.
External package required
The package
babel-runtime
is required for this transformer. Runnpm install babel-runtime --save
to add it to your current node/webpack/browserify project.babel-runtime
does not support AMD module loaders like RequireJS.
require("babel").transform("code", { optional: ["runtime"] });
$ babel --optional runtime script.js
The runtime
optional transformer does three things:
babel-runtime/regenerator
when you use generators/async functions.babel-runtime/core-js
and maps ES6 static methods and built-ins.babel-runtime/helpers
instead.What does this actually mean though? Basically, you can use built-ins such as Promise
,
Set
, Symbol
etc as well use as all the Babel features that require a polyfill seamlessly,
without global pollution, making it extremely suitable for libraries.
Whenever you use a generator function or async function:
function* foo() {
}
async function bar() {
}
the following is generated:
"use strict";
var foo = regeneratorRuntime.mark(function foo() {
...
});
function bar() {
return regeneratorRuntime.async(function bar$(context$1$0) {
...
}, null, this);
}
This isn't ideal as then you have to include the regenerator runtime which pollutes the global scope.
Instead what the runtime
transformer does it compile that to:
"use strict";
var _regeneratorRuntime = require("babel-runtime/regenerator");
var foo = _regeneratorRuntime.mark(function foo() {
...
});
function bar() {
return _regeneratorRuntime.async(function bar$(context$1$0) {
...
}, null, this);
}
This means that you can use the regenerator runtime without polluting your current environment.
core-js
aliasingSometimes you may want to use new built-ins such as Map
, Set
, Promise
etc. Your only way
to use these is usually to include a globally polluting polyfill.
What the runtime
transformer does is transform the following:
var sym = Symbol();
var promise = new Promise;
console.log(arr[Symbol.iterator]());
into the following:
"use strict";
var _core = require("babel-runtime/core-js");
var sym = _core.Symbol();
var promise = new _core.Promise();
console.log(_core.$for.getIterator(arr));
This means is that you can seamlessly use these native built-ins and static methods without worrying about where they come from.
NOTE: Instance methods such as "foobar".includes("foo")
will not work.
Usually babel will place helpers at the top of your file to do common tasks to avoid
duplicating the code around in the current file. Sometimes these helpers can get a
little bulky and add unnecessary duplication across files. The runtime
transformer replaces all the helper calls to a module.
That means that the following code:
import foo from "bar";
usually turns into:
"use strict";
var _interopRequire = function (obj) {
return obj && obj.__esModule ? obj["default"] : obj;
};
var foo = _interopRequire(require("bar"));
the runtime
transformer however turns this into:
"use strict";
var _babelHelpers = require("babel-runtime/helpers");
var foo = _babelHelpers.interopRequire(require("bar"));

NICOTINE FIX
THE INSIDER Directed by Michael Mann Screenplay by Mann & Eric Roth With Al Pacino, Russell Crowe Jean Cocteau PG-13 157 min
The opening of Michael Mann's gripping expose' "The Insider" has "60 Minutes" producer Lowell Bergman (Al Pacino) driven blindfolded through Tehran to a meeting with a Hezbollah chief. When the interview is abruptly terminated, Bergman finds himself alone in the room, and he sweeps back the curtains to discover a view of the city from an office window high above it. A similar perspective will be repeated from the corporate offices of tobacco giant Brown & Williamson, and broadcast giant CBS. The implication is evident: it's all about money, folks, and the view from high floors is pretty much the same everywhere. The movie recounts a low moment in the image of CBS News. In 1995, "60 Minutes" yanked a Mike Wallace interview with tobacco industry whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand (Russell Crowe), who had confirmed that tobacco CEOs perjured themselves before Congress in denying that nicotine was addictive, and that their companies knowingly spike the nicotine in cigarettes to boost the fix. The CBS brass pressured the news magazine show, fearful that Brown & Williamson would sue for billions claiming "tertious interference" (inducing Wigand to break his confidentiality agreement). The truth is irrelevant, says a network lawyer (Gina Gershon). "The truer the information, the greater the danger." And "60 Minutes" caved. Christopher Plummer captures Mike Wallace so unerringly with gestures, facial expressions and temperament that although the two men are hardly lookalikes, there are moments when Plummer morphs completely into the veteran newsman. Al Pacino stays in control and still sears the screen as producer Bergman, who established a bond with Wigand and drew him out for the story. And Russell Crowe, the Australian actor best known here for "L.A. Confidential", is superb as Wigand, the muffled powder keg whose slow fuse of temper and conscience is unerringly lit by the bullying tactics of his former employers. There's a fascinating correlation between the disparate characters of Bergman and Wigand. Wigand left a background in health companies for a high-salaried job with tobacco; Bergman departed the leftist magazine "Ramparts" for a career with ultra-establishment CBS. In Mann's treatment, both finish the movie with their lives in disarray but their values restored. Big Tobacco is the villain, but the unsettling moral cavity at the center is the buck-driven relativity of truth in the corporate news business. "The Insider" doesn't pretend to be a documentary. It's a movie in the great tradition of tear-the-lid-off-the-whole-stinking-mess cinema, with artful cinematography and a lush enhancing score. It's drawn from life, but events are shuffled, compressed, invented. Still much of it, according to insiders, is just the way it happened, and on screen the story carries the whiff of truth; if some of it has been knowingly spiked to increase its impact, that's only the delivery system, and it's effective as hell.

During week 3 my class was tasked with three assignments:
1. Make a T-shirt
2. Complete a dye sublimination project
3. Print something on the UV printer.
We were required to make a T-shirt that went with the topic of either, Ohio, Western Reserve, or Hudson. I chose Ohio and
made a collage of various sights and tourist attractions in Ohio.
Next, I made a mug with my logo on it for my sublimation project.
Lastly, UV printed a popsocket.
Below are pictures:
The shirt includes specific places and sights in Ohio like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, WRA's Chapel, and the State Flag.
This was my dye sublimation project for the 3rd week of Digital Fabrication. We learned the
advantages of sublimation over UV printing.
With dye sublimation, the color have a better chance of showing more vibrantly on the specific
object being printed on, whether it be a shirt, mug, pencil case,
neck tie, ect.
The number of the uses and variablity of products it can print on is vast, which makes it a
much better industry.
This is the popsocket I made for my UV printing project.


It's packed with great features, easy to use elements, and a lot of power.
Colors are everywhere, spice up your mobile device with beautiful shades.
Products that are powerful, and simple to use, we build them for you.
Check out all the awesome features of Apptastic! There are plenty!

The goal of seaiceR is to simplify temporal and spatial analysis of sea ice data (for example, break-up dates for a number of years at a number of locations in a study area).
You need two data frames to start (eg. read in from spreadsheets):
year
(lowercase).The package includes data frames called nine_points
and nine_points_locations
which are real data from nine points. These data can be used to try out the package, and will be demonstrated here.
The basic function that does the whole analysis for a data set is called make_everything
. This has defaults, but needs input of the data frames described above plus a parameter n_cluster
which is the number of clusters for the cluster analysis. The last input n_cluster
must be specified by name (the function has a lot of optional inputs).

Of course, the initial number of clusters will be a complete guess, but the output includes a scree plot and dendrograms, so make_everything
can be run a second time with an improved number of clusters.
There is a lot of output. Specifically, in order:
dendrogram
from ggdendro
, but with rect.hclust
-like rectangles to show which location is in which cluster.n_cluster
can be changed with an improved number of clusters (or to compare the output from several numbers of clusters).bounding_box
: in order, the bottom left longitude and latitude, and the top right longitude and latitude. Longitudes west (or, I guess latitudes south, but I haven’t tested that) should be entered as negative numbers. This package uses Stamen maps, which come out with exactly the bounding box you ask for (unlike Google maps, which always come out square). Enthusiasts of Stamen maps may note that I chose “toner-lite” for this package. I wanted the sea to be a neutral enough background to see colours against.zoom
. This can be anything between 1 and 18; a higher value will be sharper, but entails downloading more map tiles. The default is 5.scaling
. The default is 1, so a value like 2 will make all the points bigger and a value like 0.5 will make them all smaller.If you want an individual time trend graph (eg. to copy into another document), get it like this:
or like this to get a linear trend:
Don’t be afraid to run several times until you have output that looks nice. R can take it. (There is some repetitiveness in the calculation anyway).


Hi! My name is Marshall Sosland, and I am a software developer at Arity in Chicago, Illinois. In my current role, I am building Java APIs that leverage both Cassandra and Oracle data solutions.
My transition has been influenced by my desire to combine creative and meaningful design with my numbers and logic background, and I am very excited to be working in a domain that is constantly evolving and in a field that has limitless potential to create meaningful output.
I love exploring both mentally and physically. Five days after leaving my last job, my perpetual curiosity took me to Mongolia, where I backpacked for two weeks and captured the image displayed on this site's homepage.

High availability NAT instances in AWS VPCs
There are plenty of things Amazon is getting right with VPCs, such as peering, VPN gateways, and fine grained security via security groups and network ACLs, but the NAT requirement is a big miss. It’s a nuisance to self-manage (and pay for) multiple systems just to provide outbound Internet access for instances in private subnets. Sadly, it’s been this way for some time now.
There are some reasonable solutions to do this in a way that provides high availability, albeit with some complexity. Google yields a few articles on the topic. The approach documented by Amazon uses a monitoring script to automate the route takeover process. Another article uses an autoscale group per zone.
This article describes another method to achieve on HA NAT. It’s similar to the second link above, but with a single autoscale group with one instance per zone. When an instance in a zone is marked unhealthy, autoscale boots another instance to replace it. I provide all the details in code, comprising the following:
- A Packer template to build a NAT AMI, provisioned by Ansible
- A CloudFormation template that creates 1) a VPC with three public and six private subnets and 2) an autoscale group that ensures a NAT in each availability zone
- A script that runs at boot via user data to takeover routing
Packer
Packer is another tool from the fine folks at Hashicorp that builds machine images for multiple cloud platforms. I use it to create the NAT AMI used by the autoscale group. Find the Packer template and usage information on GitHub. Install Packer, then use the template to create an AMI for the NAT instance. Make note of the AMI ID.
Don’t forget to give Packer an IAM Role to use for creating the AMI. The policy can be found in the documentation.
NAT IAM Role
Once the AMI is created, don’t forget to create an IAM Role for the NAT instance to assume. A sample policy looks like this:
CloudFormation
The CloudFormation template also found on GitHub creates a VPC in the format I describe in a previous blog post. Launch multiple VPCs using this template and then peer them to recreate that model exactly.
Submit the template to AWS. It will ask for a name to use for the VPC, the first two octets of an address range, the name of a keypair to use on the NAT instances, and which AMI ID to use for the NAT instance. Once submitted it will create the VPC, all the subnets, and launch an autoscale group with one instance per availability zone.
The template could be improved to have a map of regions to AMI IDs, but it will need regular updates as the AMIs are rebaked. You do rebake AMIs for patching frequently, right?
HA NAT Bash script
The NAT takeover script was originally written by AWS. The CloudFormation template above tags each private subnet with network=private
,
and the script uses this to determine which subnets are private. Using that information, the script finds the route table to update, then either creates or updates the route table to point at itself as the default gateway.
Summary
This approach uses a single autoscale group with one instance per zone to ensure that each zone has a dedicated NAT, and that the NAT is self-healing if an instance is marked as unhealthy.
Some time can pass before EC2 marks an instance as unhealthy and autoscale replaces the instance. During this time the private instances in the same zone will have no default route and thus no Internet connectivity. I haven’t measured this to know how long of a period it might be.
There’s also a chance that the NAT fails to route traffic but EC2 doesn’t mark it as unhealthy. EC2 only monitors for a few specific status checks: loss of power or network connectivity, vaguely-defined “software or hardware issues on the host”, failed startup configuration, exhausted memory, corrupt filesystems, or an incompatible kernel. If for some reason the kernel stopped routing packets or something else went wrong, EC2 would not notice and the instance would not be replaced. This could be addressed by running a script on each instance that sends a heartbeat message. If the heartbeat isn’t received, then replace the instance.

Farming in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone
If you farm land within an NVZ (Nitrate Vulnerable Zone) there are legal restrictions on when you can apply slurries and manures to the land and how much you can apply in a calendar year.
To find the full list of compliance regulations please visit:
http://www.gov.uk/nitrate-vulnerable-zones
It is not permitted to spread organic manures to any field at a rate that would result in the TOTAL N supplied exceed 250kg N/ha in any rolling 12 month period.
The Farm Crap App does not calculate total N supply but rather crop available N. If you farm land in an NVZ you must make sure you are fully aware of the compliance rules, including closed periods for applying organic manures and total nitrogen supply.
More information on NVZs can be found on the Swarm Hub here.

res = Ok.done("hello") # or `Ok.new("hello")`
value = unwrap!(res) # => "hello"
res = Err.fail("Oops") # or `Err.new("Oops")`
value = unwrap!(res) # => raise Exception.new "Oops"
foo = "bar"
value2 = unwrap!(foo) # => "bar"
To go further, Result
works wonderfully with fuzzineer/match-crystal.
require "result"
require "result/utils"
require "match-crystal"
res = something()
message = match res.status, {
:created => "Created with success",
:destroyed => "Destroyed with success",
:pending => "Pending task",
:input => "Bad argument",
:fail => "Failed",
_ => "anything else!",
}
puts message
# other example
message = match res, {
Ok(String) => "Ok is a good string",
res.status? :created => "Created with success",
Ok => "It's ok",
Err(ArgumentError) => "Bad argument",
res.status? :not_found => "Not found",
Err => ->{
puts "Block is supported using Proc syntax"
"Error occurred"
},
}
puts message
Example with a case
:
message = case res
when .status? :created
"Created with success"
when .status? :destroyed
"Destroyed with success"
when .status? :pending
"Pending task"
when .status? :input
"Bad argument"
when .status? :not_found
"Not found"
when .status? :fail
"Failed"
when Ok
"Another success"
when Err
"Another error"
else
"Anything else!"
end
puts message
Works well with a controller.

Sir Tony Robinson says Americans think knighthood means he's related to Queen
EXCLUSIVE: Actor Sir Tony Robinson, 73, admits the best thing about his knighthood is it gets him hotel upgrades and from people who think he's incredibly important
by Mark Jefferies, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mark-jefferies/Sir Tony Robinson says the best thing about his knighthood is it gets him hotel upgrades from Americans who think he is incredibly important.
The 73-year-old actor, best known as servant Baldrick in Blackadder, was knighted in 2013.
He said: “It’s great when you’re in the States because when you’re a Sir people think you’re related to the Queen.
"So you get better service and probably an upgrade everywhere in North America.”
Explaining how his 2013 knighthood has altered things, he said: “People hardly ever address me like that, I’m not the kind of person people would address as Sir.
“When people do, I think ‘Oh yes, I’d forgotten about that.’ It’s just not an issue.
"If people say would you rather I called you Sir Tony I say no but that’s as far as it goes."
Speaking at a National Lottery event to celebrate their 25th anniversary, Sir Tony added: “They think I probably own Downton Abbey.”
He also said his ambition was to act in a “sustained drama”.
Tony said despite a varied career he still had TV and film ambitions left
He said: “I would like to do a sustained drama on a big screen because virtually all the work I do is with a very small crew and when I go into do a comedy show it’s normally 5-6 scenes rather than having to take the responsibility for the whole thing on my shoulders.
“I love what I do. I’m a passionate sort of person so it’s easy for me to find the adrenaline to do a job like this.”
* The National Lottery has been supporting good causes in Britain for 25 years. See lottery goodcauses.org.uk.

Colts place TE Eric Ebron on injured reserve
by OmnisportEric Ebron has seen his 2019 season come to an end after he was placed on injured reserve by the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts (6-5) are still in the NFL playoff hunt but will have to negotiate the last five games of the season without tight end Ebron after confirming the roster move on Monday.
The 26-year-old is poised to undergo surgery on both ankles, having first featured on his side's injury report with the problems around four weeks ago.
He played and tallied four catches for 44 yards in Thursday's 20-17 divisional defeat against the Houston Texans but will play no further part in the campaign.
Ebron has 31 catches for 375 yards and three touchdowns this season, falling short of his 66 catches for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns which saw him make a first career Pro Bowl in 2018.
The Colts, who are just behind Houston (7-4) in the AFC South, have brought back Ross Travis to fill the roster spot vacated by Ebron.
Starter Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox likely in line for additional snaps when the team returns to action at home to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

References SI4735::waitToSend().
Referenced by SI4735::setup().
| void SI4735::setRefClock | ( | uint16_t | refclk | ) |
Sets the frequency of the REFCLK from the output of the prescaler.
The REFCLK range is 31130 to 34406 Hz (32768 ±5% Hz) in 1 Hz steps, or 0 (to disable AFC). For example, an RCLK of 13 MHz would require a prescaler value of 400 to divide it to 32500 Hz REFCLK.
The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to 32500 Hz.
RCLK frequencies between 31130 Hz and 40 MHz are supported, however, there are gaps in frequency coverage for prescaler values ranging from 1 to 10, or frequencies up to 311300 Hz. See table below.
Table REFCLK Prescaler
| Prescaler | RCLK Low (Hz) | RCLK High (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 31130 | 34406 |
| 2 | 62260 | 68812 |
| 3 | 93390 | 103218 |
| 4 | 124520 | 137624 |
| 5 | 155650 | 172030 |

| 8 | 249040 | 275248 |
| 9 | 280170 | 309654 |
| 10 | 311300 | 344060 |
| refclk | The allowed REFCLK frequency range is between 31130 and 34406 Hz (32768 ±5%), or 0 (to disable AFC). |
| void SI4735::setRefClockPrescaler | ( | uint16_t | prescale, |
| uint8_t | rclk_sel = 0 |
||
| ) |
Sets the number used by the prescaler to divide the external RCLK down to the internal REFCLK.
The range may be between 1 and 4095 in 1 unit steps.
For example, an RCLK of 13 MHz would require a prescaler value of 400 to divide it to 32500 Hz. The reference clock frequency property would then need to be set to 32500 Hz.
ATTENTION by default, this function assumes you are using the RCLK pin as clock source.
Example: The code below shows the setup for an active 4.9152MHz crystal
Example: The code below shows the setup for an active 13MHz crystal
| prescale | Prescaler for Reference Clock value; Between 1 and 4095 in 1 unit steps. Default is 1. |
| rclk_sel | 0 = RCLK pin is clock source (default); 1 = DCLK pin is clock source |

| uint8_t | ctsIntEnable, | ||
| uint8_t | defaultFunction, | ||
| uint8_t | audioMode = SI473X_ANALOG_AUDIO , |
