BIOE 104 - Biological Transport Phenomena (4 Units)
Course Overview
Summary
- A very helpful and holistic website about BioE 104 by one of the mean course developer and lecture Prof. Terry Johanson with syllabus, slides, and lecture notes:Link
- (From syllabus) BioE 104 “develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum mechanics to biological transport phenomena over a range of length and time scales”. It will enable the students to “understand the fundamentals of mass transfer” and “apply that knowledge to biological systems and to engineering design”.

Additional Comments and Tips
This course was originally part of BioE 102 introduced by Prof. Mofrad and then it was divided into BioE 102 (solid mechanics) and BioE 104. Prof. Terry Johnson was the main person teaching this course and he is an amazing lecturer.
Prof. Aaron Streets sometimes would teach the course following Prof. Terry Johnson’s material but would add his perspective. He really cares about individual students and tried to help whenever he could.
Both of them pay more emphasis on understanding and the process instead of the results.

Yesterday a member of the Mandalore team was found dead in his home after consuming a deadly dose of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six gameplay. It appears the victim had gotten incredibly obsessed with the new game that the publishers of the incredible series released not so long ago. Scientists warn that the game is quite dangerous and must not be allowed to the public user.
Today a software developer was found unconcious at his home after spending a whole night writting HTML & CSS which will suppousedly affect his sanity in a very bad way in the future.  Im gonna be late for team-project defense...

Trucking giant Celadon files for bankruptcy after ex-officials charged with fraud
by Associated PressAn Indiana trucking company with nearly 4,000 employees said Monday it filed for bankruptcy and will shut down all operations, just days after two former officials were charged in a fraud scheme.
Celadon Group has faced significant costs related to a federal investigation and also must deal with debt and “enormous challenges” in the industry, chief executive Paul Svindland said in a statement.
William Meek, 39, and Bobby Lee Peavler, 40, were indicted on conspiracy and other charges. They knew the value of a substantial portion of Celadon’s trucks had declined and that many trucks had serious mechanical issues that made them unattractive to drivers, according to the indictment.
Earlier this year, Celadon agreed to pay $42.2 million to settle securities fraud allegations stemming from falsely reporting profits and assets.
Celadon said it was the largest provider of international truckload services in North America.
“We have diligently explored all possible options to restructure Celadon and keep business operations ongoing. However, a number of legacy and market headwinds made this impossible to achieve,” Svindland said.

A SCENE AT THE SEA (Ano natsu, ichiban shizukana umi) (director/writer/editor: Takeshi Kitano; cinematographer: Katsumi Yanagishima; cast: Kuroko Maki (Shigeru), Hiroko Oshima (Takako); Runtime:101; Kimstim Pictures; 1992-Japan)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
An unusual film from the always interesting director Takeshi Kitano (Fireworks/Violent Cop/Sonatine), taking an entirely different direction than the violent gangster films he is renown for. This is a very sensitive love story about a young couple who are both deaf. The dialogue is almost completely muted, as there are long stretches of golden silences and no translators for the deaf are used or needed to make things understood. The couple communicates by their expressions, rarely using sign language. It is a most compelling and unique film, one that is emotionally satisfying, on a level of a Bresson film for its sparseness and the emotional connections it makes with the viewers.
Shigeru (Kuroko Maki) works as a garbageman. On one of his rounds he finds a broken surfboard and takes it home to repair. He knows nothing about surfing, but he goes with his moonfaced girlfriend Takako (Hiroko Oshima) surfing. They go to a spot where a regular crowd of surfers hang-out, and while Shigeru is learning, the others laugh at his inexperience and lack of proper equipment, he doesn't even possess a wetsuit. When his surfboard breaks, he goes to a sports store and bargains to get a good board. Not having enough money, he waits until payday and goes back to the same store to buy the board. He could have gotten a cheaper board somewhere else, but it turns out that he bought it at the right store. The store-owner is a champion surfer and takes an interest in him, going down to watch him surf and give him pointers. Slowly the boy begins to improve and add equipment, he also grows with confidence.
There are some splendid scenes where we view him at a surfing contest, the Chikura Surf Classics. None of his local group bother to tell him that they announced his name when he is called, and he misses the contest, while his group is chided for this by the store-owner.
We view him walk in a noble manner to the surfing area with his girlfriend and follow with curiosity how she temporarily withdraws from him, as her jealousy arises when she sees him sitting with another girl.
The film forces one to view it the way a deaf person sees the world. There is little need for dialogue to convey its story, for what is clearly shown is how human nature can be understood by deaf people, that one does not need language to express how people cling to groups and glorify their own exclusiveness. The film always has a light strain of humor running through it, yet what remains memorable, is how beautiful the summer scenery is and how effectively simple the story is, molded together in a very discriminating way while presenting a very touching love story. This is a cinema fans true delight, a purely visual film without the need for high-tech artifices.

Delineation of Responsibility
Figure 1 shows the delineation of responsibility based on each of the three cloud service models. This figure gives us a nice reference to quickly identify which cloud layers could be considered in scope for our penetration testing. The red line identifies which layers fall under the responsibility of the tenant, and which fall under the provider.
For example, assume you are contracted to perform OS level penetration testing. During the initial negotiations, it is identified that your customer is a tenant in a public cloud. That customer would like to include these resources in the scope of the testing.
Given the above figure, this may only be possible if they are deployed in public IaaS. If they are using PaaS or SaaS, the OS or VM resources are controlled by another entity, and thus they would be considered out of scope. As an analogy, think of being hired to perform a network level penetration test and the customer wants to include their upstream ISP in the testing. Both of these situations could lead you into legal difficulty.
When performing penetration testing, each service model has its own idiosyncrasies. In the next few sections we'll take a deeper dive on what you can expect when testing each of these service models.

I had a friend coming over, but I wasn’t going to bring up the topic of dust. Not yet, anyway. However, while smoking a cigarette before anything happened, my friend turned to me and said, “So I hear you’ve got some dust.” I responded, “Yeah. I do.” I wanted to smoke it that night myself, and it was nice to find out that I’d be accompanied by someone that wanted to smoke it just as much as I did. Misery loves company, as my friend would always tell me whenever I’d attack him with negativity.
We sat in my gazebo and took hits from my bong. I had filled the slide piece with hydro and sprinkled a little amount of dust on top. When I began feeling the effects, I felt like I was high, but I could feel something else to the high. It was ok, but not a proper dust high. It was too weak. Not satisfied with what had transpired, we smoked more after watching an episode of The Wire on HBO. We went outside, and I packed the slide again. This time I sprinkled a little more to feel something weird happen, that’s what I always go for, more or less.
Halfway through the slide, I stopped. It was just after my turn, and I asked my friend, “You think I should sprinkle a little more?” But I was retarded, and I didn’t know it. I looked at my friend, and I don’t know what it was, it was either the background moving slower in comparison to other things I saw or him moving around all funny. We went for it.   When I tried to sprinkle a little more halfway through, I realized my depth perception had been “shrunk”. It was like I was looking through a car mirror, everything appeared closer than it actually was. I couldn’t tell if I should sprinkle more or not. I wasn’t sure how much there was in the slide already. I couldn’t be sure.
The one thing that kept bothering me was that I had turned into a little kid again, and so did my friend. We had these childish conversations about how awesome it would be to watch a movie where the FBI fights the CIA, FBI vs. CIA, just like Freddy vs. Jason. I won’t get too deep into our conversations. It’s nothing to remember. One thing to take out of this is that I noticed I had become more social. Not only that though. I had become more animated. If I was excited about something, I’d move my hands around, even though I didn’t feel I had the energy to do so.
Here’s what I’ll remember most, the feeling. Some have described this feeling as “numbness”, depersonalization, “sheer nothingness”, or “endless isolation”. I’d describe it as a retreat into a “child beast” state. What’s a “child” state? You got me. The concept was in a state of freefall, and I hoped it would never get to land. I guess feeling like a little kid again and not having my parents stop me when I make truthful, yet hurtful, remarks to other people. If they’d try to stop me for a reason, I’d get to fight back. It’s a state of total control. Or, at least, an illusion of it. In the end, it’s some form of it. I realized I had been subconsciously manipulated. I had been convinced that I was capable of anything, so my character had become mainly a seeker of fun. The one downside of this was that I was also be in a childlike state of unawareness. I couldn’t be sure what to think of things, and I couldn’t see things the way they really were, both visually and symbolically.
I felt like I could say anything I wanted, but I didn’t feel like moving in order to get something that I said done.  Overall, it's a volatile state of mind. All dissociative drugs have their oddness factors. If anything, I’d compare dust to alcohol with a slight hint of psychedelia. We joked around a lot. We had to. Everything else was in slow motion, and our bodies became heavier. It got more difficult to walk, but I found a way to alleviate that, I tilted my body forward as I walked.
Instead of being extremely fucked and ready to pass out anywhere, I felt like getting involved with something, almost as though some form of energy (hopefully not rage) was building up inside of me.  The only reason why I had stopped was because I didn’t want to wake up a zombie block of cheese. The high didn’t last too long, but the aftereffects (post-“euphoria” effects) got to me. My legs were too heavy for me to lift in order to keep walking, so I lied down for my demise. I wasn’t getting back up, and I wasn’t going to remember some of the important things that had happened. It’s a shame, but somebody’s got to do it.

MHKiT Environmental Contours¶
Environmental contours of extreme sea states can be used as a part of reliability-based design for offshore structures, including wave energy converters (WECs). Environmental contours provide estimations of extreme sea states based on short-term data (e.g. 10 years used to estimate a 100-year event). These environmental contours describe extreme sea states by characterizing the resource, defining sea states for extreme condition analysis, and developing a framework for analyzing survivability of a design.
MHKiT includes functions adapted from the WDRT for creating environmental contours of extreme sea states using a principal component analysis (PCA) methodology, with additional improvements for characterizing the joint probability distribution of sea states. As a demonstration, this notebook will walk through the following steps to find a 100-year sea state for NDBC buoy 46022 using 16 years of spectral wave density data.
Request Spectral Wave Density Data from NDBC
Calculate Hm0 and Te using the requested data
Find the data’s 100-year contour
Plot the data and the 100-year contour
We will start by importing the necessary python packages (scipy
, pandas
, numpy
), and MHKiT wave submodules (resource
, graphics
, and io.ndbc
).
[1]:
from mhkit.wave import resource, graphics
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mhkit.wave.io import ndbc
from scipy import stats
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
1. Request Spectral Wave Density Data from NDBC¶
MHKiT can be used to request historical data from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). This process is split into the following steps:
Query available NDBC data
Select years of interest
Request Data from NDBC
Convert the DataFrames to DateTime Index
Query available NDBC data¶
Looking at the help for the ndbc.available_data
function (help(ndbc.available_data)
) the function requires a parameter to be specified and optionally the user may provide a station ID as a string. We are interested in historical spectral wave density data 'swden'
(from which we may calculate Hm0 and Te). Additionally, we will specify the buoy number as '46022'
to only return data associated with this site.
[2]:
# Specify the parameter as spectral wave density and the buoy number to be 46022
parameter = 'swden'
buoy_number = '46022'
ndbc_available_data= ndbc.available_data(parameter, buoy_number)
ndbc_available_data

Select years of interest¶
The ndbc.available_data
function has returned a DataFrame with columns ‘id’, ‘year’, and ‘filename’. The year column is of type int while the filename and id (5 digit alpha-numeric specifier) are of type string. In this case, the years returned from ndbc_available_data
span 1996 to the last complete year the buoy was operational (currently 2019 for 46022). For demonstration, we have decided we are interested in the data between the years 1996 and 2012 so we will create a new
years_of_interest
DataFrame which only contains years less than 2013.
[3]:
# Slice the available data to only include through year 2012
years_of_interest = ndbc_available_data[ndbc_available_data.year < 2013]
years_of_interest.head()
[3]:
| id | year | filename | |

| 1418 | 46022 | 2000 | 46022w2000.txt.gz |
Request Data from NDBC¶
The filename column in our years_of_interest
DataFrame and the parameter is needed to request the data. To get the data we can use the ndbc.request_data
function to iterate over each buoy id and year in the passed DataFrame. This function will return the parameter data as a dictionary of DataFrames which may be accessed by buoy id and then the year for multiple buoys or just the year for a single buoy.
[4]:
# Get dictionary of parameter data by year
filenames= years_of_interest['filename']
ndbc_requested_data = ndbc.request_data(parameter, filenames)
Convert the DataFrames to DateTime Index¶
The data returned for each year has a variable number of columns for the year, month, day, hour, minute, and the way the columns are formatted (this is a primary reason for return a dictionary of DataFrames indexed by years). A common step a user will want to take is to remove the inconsistent NDBC date/ time columns and create a standard DateTime index. The MHKiT function ndbc.to_datetime_index
will perform this standardization by parsing the NDBC date/ time columns into DateTime format and
setting this as the DataFrame Index and removing the NDBC date/ time columns. This function operates on a DateFrame therefore we will iterate over each year of the ndbc_requested_data
dictionary.
[5]:
# Lastly we will convert a DateTime Index
ndbc_data={}
# Create a Datetime Index and remove NOAA date columns for each year
for year in ndbc_requested_data:
year_data = ndbc_requested_data[year]
ndbc_data[year] = ndbc.to_datetime_index(parameter, year_data)
# Display DataFrame of 46022 data from 1996
ndbc_data['1996'].head()

2. Calculate Hm0 and Te using the NDBC Data¶
A sea state may be characterized by significant wave height (Hm0) and energy period (Te). Using the historical spectral wave density data from NDBC, we can calculate these variables using MHKiT. Both Hm0 and Te return a single value for a given time (e.g. DateTime index). Currently, the data remains as a dictionary of DataFrames because the frequency binning (range and discretization) change across years of NDBC data. Once we have a single value for each DateTime we can combine all the data into a single DataFrame.
[6]:
# Intialize empty lists to store the results from each year
Hm0_list=[]
Te_list=[]
# Iterate over each year and save the result in the initalized dictionary
for year in ndbc_data:
year_data = ndbc_data[year]
Hm0_list.append(resource.significant_wave_height(year_data.T))
Te_list.append(resource.energy_period(year_data.T))
# Concatenate list of Series into a single DataFrame
Te = pd.concat(Te_list ,axis=0)
Hm0 = pd.concat(Hm0_list ,axis=0)
Hm0_Te = pd.concat([Hm0,Te],axis=1)
# Drop any NaNs created from the calculation of Hm0 or Te
Hm0_Te.dropna(inplace=True)
# Sort the DateTime index
Hm0_Te.sort_index(inplace=True)
Hm0_Te

3. Find the contour line for the 100 year¶
With the sea state data calculated, we can now use the modified I-FORM method to define reliability for a 100-year sea state based on the 17 years of spectral wave density data obtained from NDBC for buoy 46022. Reliability is the likelihood that a certain event will not occur in a given period. The period will define a line of constant probability in the joint probability of Hm0 and Te but individually each component different reliability (marginal distribution) which we can find by evaluating a normal cumulative distribution function (CDF). This CDF returns each component’s quantiles along the iso-reliability line that finally allows us to calculate each sea state value (e.g. the 100-year contour values for Hm0 and Te).
For more detail on the environmental contour method used here please refer to: Eckert-Gallup et. al 2016
To apply the environmental contours function we will specify a 100-year sea state, the sea state data (Hm0, Te), and the time difference between measurements (dt in seconds).
[7]:
# Return period (years) of interest
period = 100
# Remove Hm0 Outliers
Hm0_Te_clean = Hm0_Te[Hm0_Te.Hm0 < 20]
# Get only the values from the DataFrame
Hm0 = Hm0_Te_clean.Hm0.values
Te = Hm0_Te_clean.Te.values
# Delta time of sea-states
dt = (Hm0_Te_clean.index[2]-Hm0_Te_clean.index[1]).seconds
# Get the contour values
Hm0_contour, Te_contour = resource.environmental_contour(Hm0, Te, dt, period)
4. Plot overlay of the data and contour¶
Lastly we can use the MHKiT graphics module to create a contour plot which shows the data and resultant conotour line.
[8]:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(9,4))
ax = graphics.plot_environmental_contour(Te, Hm0,
Te_contour, Hm0_contour,
data_label='NDBC 46022',
contour_label='100 Year Contour',
x_label = 'Energy Period, $Te$ [s]',
y_label = 'Sig. wave height, $Hm0$ [m]',
ax=ax)

BY EDWIN JAHIEL
IN WHOSE HONOR?
In his June 18, 1997 Champaign-Urbana, IL News-Gazette column titled "A Smooth Name Switch," editor Tom Kacich wrote: "Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is named in honor of the Miami tribe of American Indians, which gave up the rights to most of their Ohio homeland in a 1795 treaty. Most of the approximately 1,700 Miami now live in Oklahoma."
After a series of name changes, in 1928 Miami U. began calling its athletic teams Redskins. In 1972, a formal resolution by the tribe reinforced an already existing relationship with the University. But times and perceptions change. Last July, the tribe sent the school a new resolution, politely asking for the discontinuance of the name Redskins by the end of academic year 1996-97.
Within three months the Trustees had accepted the suggestion. Soon after, a new nickname, RedHawks, was adopted. No fuss, no muss, no bother. Civility on both sides.
By comparison, the Chief Illiniwek case at the University of Illinois has been a battleground for some time. This is the main (but by no means parochial) subject of the excellent film "In Whose Honor," a new entry in the high-quality P.O.V. (Point of View) series of non-fiction films by independent filmmakers -- the kind of series that would probably have never materialized were it not for PBS. (Last week's amusing P.O.V. was about the maverick, now admired now ridiculed filmmaker Henry Jaglom).
It airs on WILL-TV at 7 pm, Tuesday July 15. At 8 pm, simulcast on WILL-TV and WILL-AM 580 radio, comes a Talking Point follow-up discussion --and no doubt, argumentation -- with comments by guests and call-ins. It will be a hot time in the old town that night.
The documentary is being broadcast nationally. In addition to its general importance, it has many levels of appeal for our community. It is topical, it was mostly filmed here, Jay Rosenstein (its maker as producer, director, editor, co-cinematographer, chief bottle washer) is a UIUC graduate. Still at the University, he teaches at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications and is also a multimedia producer. Long may he stay with us.
"American Indians are human beings, not mascots," is one of the refrains that sum up the film as well as the feelings of many -- Indian or not -- across the nation, who have been successful in having several sports teams abandon their Indian nicknames and paraphernalia.
The Illiniwek "cause celebre," slowly caught fire when Charlene Teters, a Spokane Indian, came to the UIUC campus in the late 1980s as a graduate student in Art. Soon after, she took her children to an Illini basketball game. The mother and the children were dismayed, shocked and upset by the dancing-prancing-twirling Chief Illiniwek.
Attractive, articulate and eloquent Ms. Teters, is often on camera, describing lucidly how and why she and many others feel that the Illiniwek type of activities, symbols, regalia, mascots plus many inauthenticities are blows to Indian pride and self-esteem as they constitute non-respect of important rituals.
In interviews with American Indian personalities, we even learn that genuine drumbeats are like heartbeats and not as conceived by Hollywood. (I believe that what popularized the phony beats was the outrageously kitschy "Indian Tom-Tom" sequence in the 1936 Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy hit film "Rose Marie," from a famous operetta. This hit movie has to be on TV these days since Jimmy Stewart had one of his early roles in it).
The documentary has many scenes that were started some years ago, as it followed on the Urbana campus the outraged, originally unsupported Charlene. She ran a one-person campaign against the Chief, picketed games, spoke of the demeaning the Native Americans. Though shunned, even vilified by some students, she went on doggedly, insisting that since symbols of Indian culture meant so much to the Indians, they ought not to be treated lightly, as entertainment.
There is much coverage of the situation, including a person at a football game who, reacting to the pressures to eliminate Chief Illiniwek, states that "People shouldn't cave in to out-of-state foreigners."
No one caved in among the Trustees, the alumni, the fans or the officials. The Trustees, like Susan Gravehorst (one of the participants in Talking Point), wisely are not presented as insensitive foes of Charlene, but as sincere partisans of the status quo. Mrs. Gravehorst cannot imagine how the Chief "who deports himself with such dignity and such solemnity ... can be perceived as a racial insult or slur." The Chiefs themselves are pleasant, clean-cut fellows, also convinced that their "characters" actually honor the Indian people.
The controversy is followed in detail, in ramifications that include financial aspects, politics, shifts by the U of I attitudes. It gets amplified as Charlene becomes a national leader in the cause, and is seen in rallies and protests in other cities where games use Indian names and symbols.
The common-sense solution is that while most pro-Chiefers are honestly persuaded that their opponents are wrong and far too touchy, so long as a clear majority within an ethnic minority feel so strongly and do not consider themselves honored, so long as abolishing the Chief does not wound persons or institutions, the fracas could be ended quickly and gently with the stroke of a pen. Remember Miami.

public interface QueryResultIF
PUBLIC: Used to represent the results of queries. A query result is conceptually a table where each column corresponds to a variable bound by the query, and each row corresponds to a match to the query. That is, each row has a value for each column, and this is the value of the variable in that particular match.
The query result object always has a current row in the result (except before the first call to next()), and the getValue(int ix) method will return the value in column ix of this row. To find the column number for a particular variable, call getIndex("VAR"); alternatively, call getValue("VAR") directly.
The next() method is used to simultaneously step to the next row and check if there is a next row.

Cryptography is the science of encrypting and decrypting data. We, at bi0s, aim to learn the concepts of data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication and non-repudiation which are the core principles of modern-day cryptography through CTF’s and other ethical hacking competitions.
From exploring the depths of a binary, to exploiting the deepest of the vulnerabilities , we the pwners at team bi0s are dedicated to find and exploit the vulnerabilities and gain Remote Code Execution. We actively take part in ctfs to hone our skills , learn new techniques and gain insight on the advancements in exploitation.
With technology continuing to grow year after year and everything turning to digital format, computer forensics is a field that Unravels the mysteries of the footprints left behind by attacks. We investigate these artifacts by recreating the attacks and also by solving similar simulations from CTFs.
Reverse engineering is the art of cracking such softwares by tracing serial numbers or other data that facilitates examining the binary and automating to find the result. Our work involves sophisticated measures to decompile windows and linux executables but often extends to neural networks, unicorn engines and many more!
Advancements in web applications, web services and other technology have changed the way we access and share information.The scenario where web exploitation plays a role “The art of exploiting a bug in application code to gain some higher privileges”. We, at bi0s aims to be masters at exploiting and to make a secure World of Web which is Wide

1.1 The Python LanguageThe Python language, while not minimalist, is rather spare, for good pragmatic reasons. When a language offers one good way to express a design idea, supplying other ways has only modest benefits, while the cost in terms of language complexity grows with the number of features. A complicated language is harder to learn and to master (and to implement efficiently and without bugs) than a simpler one. Any complications and quirks in a language hamper productivity in software maintenance, particularly in large projects, where many developers cooperate and often maintain code originally written by others. Python is simple, but not simplistic. It adheres to the idea that if a language behaves a certain way in some contexts, it should ideally work similarly in all contexts. Python also follows the principle that a language should not have convenient shortcuts, special cases, ad hoc exceptions, overly subtle distinctions, or mysterious and tricky under-the-covers optimizations. A good language, like any other designed artifact, must balance such general principles with taste, common sense, and a high degree of practicality. Python is a general-purpose programming language, so Python's traits are useful in any area of software development. There is no area where Python cannot be part of an optimal solution. "Part" is an important word here—while many developers find that Python fills all of their needs, Python does not have to stand alone. Python programs can cooperate with a variety of other software components, making it an ideal language for gluing together components written in other languages. Python is a very-high-level language. This means that Python uses a higher level of abstraction, conceptually farther from the underlying machine, than do classic compiled languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran, which are traditionally called high-level languages. Python is also simpler, faster to process, and more regular than classic high-level languages. This affords high programmer productivity and makes Python an attractive development tool. Good compilers for classic compiled languages can often generate binary machine code that runs much faster than Python code. However, in most cases, the performance of Python-coded applications proves sufficient. When it doesn't, you can apply the optimization techniques covered in Chapter 17 to enhance your program's performance while keeping the benefits of high programming productivity. Python is an object-oriented programming language, but it lets you develop code using both object-oriented and traditional procedural styles, mixing and matching as your application requires. Python's object-oriented features are like those of C++, although they are much simpler to use. |

DiplomaticQuarter: Danish ambassador to Saudi Arabia visits Oophytum festival in Jouf
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture has signed a partnership with the foundation of classical singer superstar Andrea Bocelli.
The partnership is part of his work with UNESCO program "Voices of the World" giving singing lessons to children.
The program aims to boost emotional and social support for children through creating regional musical bands alongside various learning activities.
Through its partnership with the Andrea Bocelli Foundation the culture ministry aims to empower participants and their communities through music, Saudi Press Agency reported.
Bocelli is considered the world’s most famous classical singer and was the best-selling classical artist between 1997 and 2004.
Abdel Rab Idris, head of the National Music Ensemble at the Saudi Ministry of Culture, expressed his pride in being part of the project.
“We are delighted to be part of the Voices of the World program to support music education in Middle Eastern communities, and in the coming years, we look forward to contributing to the sustainable development of our Arab region through the project,” he said.
The Voices of the World project will be implemented in the coming years in the Middle East.

Ionic AngularFire2
This is intended as a starter template for a basic Ionic2/AngularFire2 application.
It does the following:
Loads the required node modules
Populates app.module.ts with stub firebaseConfig code
Creates a data provider (FbdbService) with stub code to access a list and an object in the firebase database
Publishes the FbdbService as a provider in app.module.ts
Loads the FbdbService provider in the HomePage
And creates this here page you are reading as we speak.
It does not do the following:
Teach you how to work with Ionic, Angular, Typescript, or Firebase. There are lots of resources for each of those
Make your Firebase database for you
Configure your Firebase security rules for you
Provide an Authentication provider or an authentication object for you
Promise to use best practices, just the practices that I tend to use myself
Predict the future
Guarantee that anything will work, initially or intermittently or permanently, if/when you try to use this starter template
If you immediately get errors about not finding AngularFire or related libraries, run ionic info
If your Ionic CLI version is less than 2.1.18, you need to upgrade, at least for this to work.
If you get lost, the docs will be your guide.


Land trust in Rhode Island awarded grant to help new farmers
by EndPlayPROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - U.S. Sen. Jack Reed says a land trust in Rhode Island has been awarded $600,000 in federal funding to help beginning farmers.
The Rhode Island Democrat says the Southside Community Land Trust won a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to help beginning farmers access resources and training.
Reed toured the land trust's 50-acre Urban Edge Farm bordering Cranston and Johnston on Tuesday. It serves as a hub for small-scale, environmentally sustainable commercial agriculture.
Thirteen farmers operate at Urban Edge. New farmers are invited there to learn how to raise and market crops.
Reed says the grant helps "plant the seeds for future success."
The land trust says it has used federal funding to help 27 people begin farming and to train another 79 beginning farmers in the past three years.

new Ninja(game)
Ninja Physics. The Ninja Physics system was created in Flash by Metanet Software and ported to JavaScript by Richard Davey.
It allows for AABB and Circle to Tile collision. Tiles can be any of 34 different types, including slopes, convex and concave shapes.
It does what it does very well, but is ripe for expansion and optimisation. Here are some features that I'd love to see the community add:
- AABB to AABB collision
- AABB to Circle collision
- AABB and Circle 'immovable' property support
- n-way collision, so an AABB/Circle could pass through a tile from below and land upon it.
- QuadTree or spatial grid for faster Body vs. Tile Group look-ups.
- Optimise the internal vector math and reduce the quantity of temporary vars created.
- Expand Gravity and Bounce to allow for separate x/y axis values.
- Support Bodies linked to Sprites that don't have anchor set to 0.5
Feel free to attempt any of the above and submit a Pull Request with your code! Be sure to include test cases proving they work.

clearTilemapLayerBodies(map, layer)
-
Clears all physics bodies from the given TilemapLayer that were created with
World.convertTilemap
.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description map
Phaser.Tilemap The Tilemap to get the map data from.
layer
number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>
The layer to operate on. If not given will default to map.currentLayer.
- Source:
-
collide(object1, object2, collideCallback, processCallback, callbackContext) → {boolean}
-
Checks for collision between two game objects. You can perform Sprite vs. Sprite, Sprite vs. Group, Group vs. Group, Sprite vs. Tilemap Layer or Group vs. Tilemap Layer collisions. The second parameter can be an array of objects, of differing types. The objects are also automatically separated. If you don't require separation then use ArcadePhysics.overlap instead. An optional processCallback can be provided. If given this function will be called when two sprites are found to be colliding. It is called before any separation takes place, giving you the chance to perform additional checks. If the function returns true then the collision and separation is carried out. If it returns false it is skipped. The collideCallback is an optional function that is only called if two sprites collide. If a processCallback has been set then it needs to return true for collideCallback to be called.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object1
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Group | Phaser.Particles.Emitter | Phaser.Tilemap The first object to check. Can be an instance of Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Group, Phaser.Particles.Emitter, or Phaser.Tilemap.
object2
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Group | Phaser.Particles.Emitter | Phaser.Tilemap | array The second object or array of objects to check. Can be Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Group, Phaser.Particles.Emitter or Phaser.Tilemap.
collideCallback
function <optional>
null An optional callback function that is called if the objects collide. The two objects will be passed to this function in the same order in which you specified them.
processCallback
function <optional>
null A callback function that lets you perform additional checks against the two objects if they overlap. If this is set then collision will only happen if processCallback returns true. The two objects will be passed to this function in the same order in which you specified them.
callbackContext
object <optional>
The context in which to run the callbacks.
- Source:
Returns:
True if a collision occured otherwise false.
- Type
- boolean
-
convertTilemap(map, layer, slopeMap) → {array}
-
Goes through all tiles in the given Tilemap and TilemapLayer and converts those set to collide into physics tiles. Only call this after you have specified all of the tiles you wish to collide with calls like Tilemap.setCollisionBetween, etc. Every time you call this method it will destroy any previously created bodies and remove them from the world. Therefore understand it's a very expensive operation and not to be done in a core game update loop.
In Ninja the Tiles have an ID from 0 to 33, where 0 is 'empty', 1 is a full tile, 2 is a 45-degree slope, etc. You can find the ID list either at the very bottom of
Tile.js
, or in a handy visual reference in theresources/Ninja Physics Debug Tiles
folder in the repository. The slopeMap parameter is an array that controls how the indexes of the tiles in your tilemap data will map to the Ninja Tile IDs. For example if you had 6 tiles in your tileset: Imagine the first 4 should be converted into fully solid Tiles and the other 2 are 45-degree slopes. Your slopeMap array would look like this:[ 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3 ]
. Where each element of the array is a tile in your tilemap and the resulting Ninja Tile it should create.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description map
Phaser.Tilemap The Tilemap to get the map data from.
layer
number | string | Phaser.TilemapLayer <optional>
The layer to operate on. If not given will default to map.currentLayer.
slopeMap
object <optional>
The tilemap index to Tile ID map.
- Source:
Returns:
An array of the Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Tile objects that were created.
- Type
- array
-
enable(object, type, id, radius, children)
-
This will create a Ninja Physics body on the given game object or array of game objects. A game object can only have 1 physics body active at any one time, and it can't be changed until the object is destroyed.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object
object | array | Phaser.Group The game object to create the physics body on. Can also be an array or Group of objects, a body will be created on every child that has a
body
property.type
number <optional>
1 The type of Ninja shape to create. 1 = AABB, 2 = Circle or 3 = Tile.
id
number <optional>
1 If this body is using a Tile shape, you can set the Tile id here, i.e. Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Tile.SLOPE_45DEGpn, Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Tile.CONVEXpp, etc.
radius
number <optional>
0 If this body is using a Circle shape this controls the radius.
children
boolean <optional>
true Should a body be created on all children of this object? If true it will recurse down the display list as far as it can go.
- Source:
-
enableAABB(object, children)
-
This will create a Ninja Physics AABB body on the given game object. Its dimensions will match the width and height of the object at the point it is created. A game object can only have 1 physics body active at any one time, and it can't be changed until the object is destroyed.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object
object | array | Phaser.Group The game object to create the physics body on. Can also be an array or Group of objects, a body will be created on every child that has a
body
property.children
boolean <optional>

Creates a Ninja Physics body on the given game object. A game object can only have 1 physics body active at any one time, and it can't be changed until the body is nulled.
Parameters:
Name Type Description object
object The game object to create the physics body on. A body will only be created if this object has a null
body
property.- Source:
-
enableCircle(object, radius, children)
-
This will create a Ninja Physics Circle body on the given game object. A game object can only have 1 physics body active at any one time, and it can't be changed until the object is destroyed.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object
object | array | Phaser.Group The game object to create the physics body on. Can also be an array or Group of objects, a body will be created on every child that has a
body
property.radius
number The radius of the Circle.
children
boolean <optional>
true Should a body be created on all children of this object? If true it will recurse down the display list as far as it can go.

-
enableTile(object, id, children)
-
This will create a Ninja Physics Tile body on the given game object. There are 34 different types of tile you can create, including 45 degree slopes, convex and concave circles and more. The id parameter controls which Tile type is created, but you can also change it at run-time. Note that for all degree based tile types they need to have an equal width and height. If the given object doesn't have equal width and height it will use the width. A game object can only have 1 physics body active at any one time, and it can't be changed until the object is destroyed.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object
object | array | Phaser.Group The game object to create the physics body on. Can also be an array or Group of objects, a body will be created on every child that has a
body
property.id
number <optional>
1 The type of Tile this will use, i.e. Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Tile.SLOPE_45DEGpn, Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Tile.CONVEXpp, etc.
children
boolean <optional>
true Should a body be created on all children of this object? If true it will recurse down the display list as far as it can go.

overlap(object1, object2, overlapCallback, processCallback, callbackContext) → {boolean}
-
Checks for overlaps between two game objects. The objects can be Sprites, Groups or Emitters. You can perform Sprite vs. Sprite, Sprite vs. Group and Group vs. Group overlap checks. Unlike collide the objects are NOT automatically separated or have any physics applied, they merely test for overlap results. The second parameter can be an array of objects, of differing types.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description object1
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Group | Phaser.Particles.Emitter The first object to check. Can be an instance of Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Group or Phaser.Particles.Emitter.
object2
Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Group | Phaser.Particles.Emitter | array The second object or array of objects to check. Can be Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Group or Phaser.Particles.Emitter.
overlapCallback
function <optional>
null An optional callback function that is called if the objects overlap. The two objects will be passed to this function in the same order in which you specified them.
processCallback
function <optional>
null A callback function that lets you perform additional checks against the two objects if they overlap. If this is set then overlapCallback will only be called if processCallback returns true.
callbackContext
object <optional>
The context in which to run the callbacks.
- Source:
Returns:
True if an overlap occured otherwise false.
- Type
- boolean
-
separate(body1, body2, processCallback, callbackContext) → {boolean}
-
The core separation function to separate two physics bodies.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description body1
Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Body The Body object to separate.
body2
Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Body The Body object to separate.
processCallback
function <optional>
null UN-USED: A callback function that lets you perform additional checks against the two objects if they overlap. If this function is set then the sprites will only be collided if it returns true.
callbackContext
object <optional>
UN-USED: The context in which to run the process callback.
- Source:
Returns:
Returns true if the bodies collided, otherwise false.
- Type
- boolean

Introduction to Bayesian data analysis (SMLP 2019)
Instructor
Shravan Vasishth
Dates and location
Taught at
SMLP.
Every year in September. Haus 6, Griebnitzsee campus, University of Potsdam.
Overview
In recent years, Bayesian methods have come to be widely adopted in all areas of science. This is in large part due to the development of sophisticated software for probabilisic programming; a recent example is the astonishing computing capability afforded by the language Stan (mc-stan.org). However, the underlying theory needed to use this software sensibly is often inaccessible because end-users don't necessarily have the statistical and mathematical background to read the primary textbooks (such as Gelman et al's classic Bayesian data analysis, 3rd edition). In this course, we seek to cover this gap, by providing a relatively accessible and technically non-demanding introduction to the basic workflow for fitting different kinds of linear models using Stan. To illustrate the capability of Bayesian modeling, we will use the R package RStan and a powerful front-end R package for Stan called brms.
Prerequisites
We assume familiarity with R. Participants will benefit most if they have previously fit linear models and linear mixed models (using lme4) in R, in any scientific domain within linguistics and psychology. No knowledge of calculus or linear algebra is assumed (but will be helpful to know), but basic school level mathematics knowledge is assumed (this will be quickly revisited in class).
Please install the following software before coming to the course
We will be using the software
R,
and
RStudio,
so make sure you install these on your computer.
You should also install the R package
rstan; the R package
brms.
Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant will have become familiar with the foundations of Bayesian inference using Stan (RStan and brms), and will be able to fit a range of multiple regression models and hierarchical models, for normally distributed data, and for lognormal and Binomially distributed data. They will know how to calibrate their models using prior and posterior predictive checks; they will be able to establish true and false discovery rates to validate discovery claims. If there is time, we will discuss how to carry out model comparison using Bayes factors and k-fold cross validation.

I attended and pitched one of my ideas at Startup Weekend Bali 2015 in Ubud, Bali, held at the coworking space there hubud. My idea, Design My Day, and pitch were well-received and I was able to gather an extraordinary team. We worked very well together for the weekend and came up with a powerful pitch that ended up being awarded the winning startup for the weekend. Now it is time to build out our concept and see if the world embraces it as something helpful.
