Gromos Trajectory evaluation with Pygromos and Pandas¶
Example file for the evaluation of GROMOS trajectory files in pygromos¶
Analysis of a GROMOS trc file (position trajectory)
Import
Common Functions
Analysis of a GROMOS tre file (energy trajectory)
Import
Common Functions
[1]:
# general imports for manual data manipulations. Not needed if only provided functions are used
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
[2]:
#specific imports from pygromos for trc and tre file support
import pygromos.files.trajectory.trc as traj_trc
import pygromos.files.trajectory.tre as traj_tre
1) TRC¶
1.1) TRC import¶
[3]:
# import the trajectory file into a Trc class
trc = traj_trc.Trc(input_value="example_files/test_CHE_vacuum_sd.trc")
example_files/test_CHE_vacuum_sd.trc
Trc class offers the normal gromos block structure and additionaly a pandas DataFrame called database where all the timesteps are stored. For typical trc files the only classic block is the TITLE block, and all the other blocks are stored inside the database.
Additionally many common functions are offered to evaluate the given data. If a needed function is not provided the normal pandas syntax can be used to create costum functions.
If you have a function generally usefull pleas contact the developers to possibly add them to the pygromos code to help other people :)

2) TRE¶
2.1) Tre import and structure¶
[8]:
# import the trajectory file into a Tre class
tre = traj_tre.Tre(input_value="example_files/test_CHE_H2O_bilayer.tre")
example_files/test_CHE_H2O_bilayer.tre

'TITLE',
'add_traj',
'database',
'get_density',
'get_temperature',
'get_totals',
'path',
'totals_subblock_names',
'write']
Tre files contain all energy related data (like split up energy terms, temperature, pressure, …..). In PyGromos they generally share the same block structure as other files, but all the data inside the specific timesteps is stored efficently inside a pandas DataFrame, here called tre.database . This database offers manipulation with all pandas functions. Alternatively many common functions are provided inside the Tre class.
This class should in principle replace further usage of the gromos++ ene_ana function, since all these operation can be done efficently on the pandas DataFrame.
We are currently working on adding more common functions to the Tre class. If you find a useful function please contact the developers so the function can be added for general usage :)
2.2) Common Tre functions¶
[10]:
# calculate the average density over all timesteps
tre.get_density().mean()
[10]:
874.6182260652407
[11]:
# calculate the mean temperature over all frames for all baths in the system. In this example two baths with slightly different temperatures.
tre.get_temperature().mean()
[11]:
array([297.7702854 ,<PHONE_NUMBER>3])
Tables and lists inside the database are stored in numpy arrays. For example the two temperatures from the previos example are stored in a numpy array of size 2 since it has two temperature baths
Specific values inside a tre file can also be directly accesed with numpy and pandas syntax

Concatenate and Copy multiple Trajectories¶
Trajectories offer a wide range of additional file manipulations. Trajectory classes can be copied (deep) and added to each other to concatenate multiple small simulation pieces into one large trajectory.

In the new combined trajectory we have one long trajectory made from the two smaller ones. The lenght is one element shorter, since normally the last element of the first trajectory and the first element of the second trajectory is the same element. This can be controlled via the option “skip_new_0=True” in the add_traj() function which is the core of the “+” operator for trajectories. In the following line the default behavior can be seen as a smooth numbering in the TIMESTEPs.

Whaaaat?! Netizens Confused After Reports Say Collin Farrell Might Play Penguin in New Batman Movie
As if this wasn’t enough to shock comic book fans, Variety reported that Andy Serkis, who is best known for giving his voice to Gollum in the Lord of the Rings saga, may be cast as Bruce Wayne’s faithful butler.
Hats off to Warner Brothers! Filming of the new Batman movie has not yet started, but people and fans of the franchise are already talking about it. First WB, which owns DC comics, stunned everyone when it cast lanky Robert Pattinson in the leading role, then they upped the ante by choosing Paul Dano to play the Riddler, one of Batman’s villains. Now they've decided to finish movie lovers and comic books fans as media reports now say Colin Farrell is in talks to play Oswald Cobblepot or The Penguin, while Andy Serkis is rumoured to be playing Bruce Wayne’s trustworthy aide Alfred Pennyworth.
The news has set social media ablaze with netizens arguing about WB’s choice, which many found incredibly weird. Some users thought it would be better if Farrell had been cast as Batman’s butler, while Andy Serkis, who is famous for his portrayal of eerie creatures, played the Penguin.
Other users noted that Farrell is too handsome to play a creepy villain and thought other actors, including Jack Black, Michael Shannon, or Robin Tayor, should be cast in that role.
Many users still can’t get over the fact that Robert Pattinson, the star of vampire saga Twilight, has been cast in the leading role…
Still others seemed to be fed up that film studios continue to churn out the same super hero movies every year.
Die-hard fans of the Batman saga of course were delighted with the news.
If the rumours are true, both Farrell and Serkis will join Zoey Kravitz, who plays Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright who was cast as police commissioner Gordon. Filming of the new Batman movie will start in 2020 and it is scheduled to hit screens in the summer of 2021. But that's not all! Rumour has it that Warner Brother wants Matthew McConaughey to play Two-Face.

Messaging Platform for Cancer Patients
Misko Hevery, a Google employee, started to work with AngularJS in 2009. The idea turned out very well, and the project is now officially supported by Google.Even though there are other frameworks like Backbone.js and Ember.js, AngularJs is slowly turning out to be the preferred framework of choice for building JavaScript applications. AngularJS is a Javascript MVC framework to build properly structured web applications very easily. It lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. AngularJS also enhances HTML by attaching directives to your pages with new attributes or tags and expressions in order to define very powerful templates directly in your HTML. Web application developers also have ready access to several pre-built directives/libraries for AngularJS making this framework even more interesting. Lets explore a few popular ones.
Platform Services for Angular
Angular Strap provides a set of native directives that allows you to use web components such as modal, popovers etc provided by bootstrap in your AngularJS application. It has no external dependencies except the Bootstrap CSS styles. It also provides animation support through the ngAnimate module and corresponding animation classes such as fade, slide, flip etc. Angular Strap is one of the must try modules if your UI has a stack of Angular.js and Bootstrap CSS! Angular UI-bootstrap Similar to Angular Strap, Angular UI-bootstrap provides a set of bootstrap components in pure Angular JS with no dependency on jQuery or Bootstrap’s JavaScript. The only dependency being AngularJS and Bootstrap CSS. Developers have the option of choosing between the two: Angular UI-bootstrap or Angular strap in their application. UI-router Let’s face it, the official router provided by AngularJS only suffices for building simple application, but lacks features required by big and complex apps. UI-router is a powerful routing library which turns your application into a state machine. It provides states which are bound to views. Unlike the ngRoute module, UI-router allows you to have parallel as well as nested views. These states may or may not have routes.
Other Services for Angular
Angular Loading Bar
As the name implies, this directive provides a loading bar at the top of the screen, similar to the one you may have encountered on YouTube.
What makes this library standout from the rest is that it’s completely automatic. You only have to include the JS and CSS file, inject the dependency, and the loading/progress bar will show in your next $http call.
Another important aspect is it also provides various configurable options to developers.
Angular Growl-2
This library provides a convenient and clean way to display alert messages or notifications for your Angular applications. It uses standard bootstrap alert classes and also provides various configurable options. Notifications can be displayed inline or globally.
Angular Formly
This is a valuable module which allows you to render JavaScript forms .In simple terms, generate forms dynamically using JavaScript objects. Angular-Formly makes your forms more manageable and reusable and is very useful when your application has numerous forms. Additionally, it comes with several pre built templates. It also allows users to build their own custom templates and use them.

AC Milan target AZ Alkmaar forward Myron Boadu
Italian giants AC Milan are set to make a move for Dutch born Ghanaian Myron Boadu in the winter transfer window.
The struggling European heavyweights have identified the 18-year old as the right man to help Christoph Piatek in attack.
However, the club will have to doll out huge sums of money to sign the attacker who made his Dutch senior debut during the international break.
Boadu has been on a run of good form in the Dutch Eredivisie and the Europa League, netting 15 goals in all competitions this season.
Having showwed great promise, several clubs are queuing for the signature of the 18-year old, who turned down a move to Arsenal last summer.
AC Milan's owners Elliott Management sent scouts to monitor the teenager early this month as they begin a rebuilding of the club with the best young talents across Europe.
Boadu's exploits has seen AZ enjoy a good start to the campaign as they currently lie in second place in the Dutch eredivisie, six points behind leaders Ajax.

Hey, I'm Mariana! I'm a second year Digital Arts and Sciences Engineering student at the University of Florida. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, but now I am based in Gainesville, Florida. When I'm not coding, I like to draw, paint, cook, play videogames, and read.
*I swear there's more to say about me, I'll just write it later lol*
Here's some of the languages and frameworks that I use:
Membershpe UF is the official website for the UF chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. Our software engineering team created this website to facilitate the management of the point system that our chapter works with. Some additional features are a corporate database, rentals of engineering equipment (like Arduinos), a SHPEito network for members to find other people in their classes/major/year, and a variety of administrative tools for the Executive Board to manage SHPE. All of this was accomplished using the MERNG stack: MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS, and GraphQL.
This is the mobile application that will complement the SHPE UF website. Unlike the website, this app will be user-oriented and provide SHPE UF members greater accesibility to their points, events, and tasks. This project uses the MERNG stack as well, but with React Native. To be launched in September 2021.
Solstice Plaza is a Virtual Reality platform especifically designed for students of the University of Florida. Using Maya, EchoAR, and Unity, my team and I were able to create a VR version of UF'S Plaza of the Americas and Library West. Students can join the server and explore the 3D environment, as well as interact with other students virtually. Since the pandemic has taken away the opportunity of living on campus for many students, Solstice Plaza is our way of making that experience accesible once again. Winner of the Hack Solstice 2021 Best Use of EchoAR Category.


Now that I have tried different jekyll themes, it is time to start one from scratch. I will use a very useful tutorial: Creating and Hosting a Personal Site on GitHub , that explains very well all the steps to do. The only thing that is different in my case is that I use Project Pages instead of User Pages, so I will specify here the differences.
As I use project pages to be able to have all my projects in my Github account, I have to create a new repository:
Steps in GitHub:
Enter a project name: project-name
Make the repository public
Initialize with a README
Click create repository
Steps in the computer:
In the terminal, create a new directory and make a clone of the repository to do the changes in local.
git clone https://github.com/username/projectName.git
Add the gh-pages branch in the new repository once inside the directory of the project (the branch name gh-pages is a special branch that Github uses to get files to build and publish from).
git checkout -b gh-pages
Add the index.html
Create a _config.yml file that tells Jekyll some basics about my project. In this example, I’m telling Jekyll the name of my site and what version of Markdown we’d like to use. Moreover, I add the url for sitemap.xml and baseurl to specify the repository as I use Project pages.
name: My project name
markdown: kramdown
url: http://username.github.io/project-name/
baseurl: "/project-name"
See the result executing ‘jekyll serve’ and open a browser in http://localhost:4000/project-name
After doing changes, do the Commit and push to Github
git add index.html
git add _config.yml
git commit -m “Add first code”
git push origin gh-pages
The Github pages site can be seen in: http://username.github.io/project-name
Usually the first time the GitHub Pages site is created it takes 5-10 minutes to go live.
In order for Jekyll to work with my site, I need to follow Jekyll’s directory structure.
Create a .gitignore file to ignore the _site directory that Jekyll automatically generates each time I commit.
Make a _layouts directory, and create file inside it called default.html. This is the main layout that will contain repeated elements like <head>
and <footer>
. So let’s move those elements from index.html into default.html.
Use the liquid tags {{ page.title }} in the title and {{ content }} inside the container section to inject content into the final web page.
In the index.html, add the Front-matter at the top layout: default
title: Index title
This Front-matter will be processed by Jekyll. Every time I commit a file that specifies layout: default at the top, Jekyll will magically generate the full HTML document by replacing {{ content }} in “_layouts/default.html” with the contents of the committed file.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{site.baseurl}}/css/main.css" />
It is necessary to use {{ site.baseurl }} when I use project pages, if I don’t add it, it will try to find the css in http://username.github.io/css/main.css instead of http://username.github.io/project-name/css/main.css.
Create a new layout for the blog posts called post.html and a folder to store each individual post called _posts/.
The post.html can use the default layout and adds a couple new liquid tags to print the title of the post and date.
Make a _posts/ directory where we’ll store the blog posts. Inside that folder will be the first post. It must follow the convention YYYY-MM-DD-title-of-my-post.md. This file name gets translated into the permalink for the blog post.
In the Front-matter of the post I can add the layout, the title and the date: layout: post
title: “My first post”
date: 2016-02-01
The .md extension stands for Markdown, and the Markdown syntax used inside the file gets converted to HTML by Jekyll. Markdown is a markup language with a syntax closer to plain text so that the user can write their HTML content quickly. HTML can be also used inside the Markdown files if it is needed a syntax more precise.
After commiting the first post, it can be seen in: http://username.github.io/project-name/YYYY/MM/DD/name-of-the-post
As the reader won’t always know the exact URLs of the posts, I can create a page on the site that lists each post’s title and hyperlink. It can be created on the homepage or create a blog subpage that collects all of the posts.
Create a blog directory and create a file named index.html inside it. To list each post, I’ll use a foreach loop to create an unordered list of the blog posts.
It can be seen in: http://username.github.io/project-name/blog/
Create _includes. They’re a lot like _layouts, only smaller snippets of markup and can be injected into the _layouts and pages.
Create a DISQUS _include and call it in the post.html layout.
Set up a custom domain instead of github.io.
Create a sitemap.xml file for better SEO. You can have one automatically generated by GitHub Pages.
Create a development branch to fix a bug or add a new feature and merge once it is done. This way, the master branch is clean.
Look for inspiration checking out other jekyll blogs.

I'm A Celebrity's Caitlyn Jenner says all her kids still call her 'Dad'
She opened up about family life in camp
by Paul HironsCaitlyn Jenner has already been winning over fans with her honesty and openness during stint in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity.
And now former athlete and transgender activist Caitlyn, 70, has admitted that she will 'always be father to her children'.
Read more: I'm A Celebrity viewers concerned for Jaqueline Jossa after she's picked for Bushtucker trial
Caitlyn opened up about her family relationships to fellow contestants Kate Garraway, Adele Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Jaqueline Jossa.
And Caitlyn, who used to be Olympic-winning athlete Bruce Jenner before she transitioned in 2015, said: "Bruce raised them and Caitlyn is enjoying their life with them."
Caitlyn, star of reality shows I Am Cait and The Keeping Up With The Kardashians, has six children and a whopping 19 grandchildren.
She's father to Burt and Cassandra from Bruce's first marriage to Chrystie, and two sons from Bruce's second marriage to Linda Thompson.
In 1991, Caitlyn - then still Bruce - married Kris Kardashian and had two daughters - Kendall, 24, and Kylie, 22 - and became step-parent to Kris's four children from her previous marriage, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Robert.
"My kids all call me Dad," he said.

"But what they're really good at, which shocks me all the time, is when they're talking about me - 'my Dad, she' - and it's tough to change the pronoun in the middle of it."

Earlier in the series, Caitlyn revealed that she had been hiding a dark tragedy from her fellow campmates.
The reality star - who won Olympic gold at the 1500 metres as Bruce Jenner in 1976 - lost her brother in a tragic accident the same year she won gold in Montreal.
Caitlyn, then Bruce, was 26 when her younger brother, Burt, died while driving a silver Porsche that Caitlyn had allowed him to borrow.

2. Bengal mulling English medium sections in government schools
In news:
- The West Bengal government is considering a proposal to introduce separate English medium sections at the primary level to class VIII in government-run schools.
-
Why such a move?
Introducing separate English medium sections in government-run schools had become all the more important as such schools were lagging behind private English medium schools.
Context
- For the first time in Indian history talaq-e-bid’awas specifically debated and set aside by the Supreme Court
- Latest ruling completely and unconditionally invalidates talaq-e-bid’ and renders it bad in law.
- The Koranic procedure of talaq is the only way by which a Muslim husband will be able to divorce his wife from now on
Talaq-e-bidat
- Talaq-e-bidat has allowed men to pronounce talaq thrice in one sitting, sometimes scrawled in a written talaqnama, or even by phone or text message.
- Thereafter, even if the man himself perceives his decision to have been hasty in hindsight, the divorce remains irrevocable
The majority judgment
- Talaq-e-bid’a cannot be excluded from the definition of “talaq” mentioned in Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937.
- As the Shariat Act was a law made before the Constitution came in force, it would fall within the expression “laws in force” in Article 13(3)(b), and would be hit by Article 13(1) if found to be inconsistent with Part III of the Constitution, to the extent of the inconsistency.
- The two judges chose not to examine if the Narasu Appa Maliruling. This judgment had held that personal laws cannot be tested against the provisions of Part III of the Constitution.
- Biggest achievement was harmonisation of constitutional equality with Koranic egalitarianism.
- This was done by endorsing the Koranic law of talaq mentioned in Shamim Ara and declaring talaq-e-bid’a to be “manifestly arbitrary” and violative of Article 14
- Because it allows a Muslim man to break the marriage “capriciously and whimsically” without attempting to save it through reconciliation.
- On these grounds, Section 2 of the 1937 Act was struck down as being void to the extent that it recognises and enforces instant talaq.
- Talaq-e-bid’a falls outside the Shariahbecause it goes against its primary source, the Koran
The minority opinion
- Declared talaq-e-bid’a to be an essential part of the Hanafi faith and gave it protection under Article 25(1).
- Given weight to the overwhelming evidence in the Koran and authentic hadeeses against instant talaq they could have avoided the problematic invocation of Article 142 to direct the state to enact an “appropriate legislation” on talaq-e-bid’a.
- Article 13(2) clearly states that the “State shall not make any law which takes away or abridges the rights conferred by this Part and any law made in contravention of this clause shall, to the extent of the contravention, be void.
- The AIMPLB cited just one report from Sihah Sitta in which instant talaq is mentioned. But this hadees does not show any Prophetic support for talaq-e-bid’a.
- It clearly states that the man who pronounced “triple talaq” did so “without the Prophet’s command.
Implications of verdict
- Biggest achievement for Muslim women, that talaq-e-bid’ain any of his manifestations will not dissolve the marriage.
- This renders redundant not just halala but the incorporation of a platitudinous advisory against instant talaq in the nikahnama
- There is also scope now to amend the 1937 Act, to exclude talaq-e-bid’a from the definition of the word “talaq” mentioned in Section 2, and make the Koranic procedure of talaq gender-neutral.
- This judgment will also encourage Muslim intellectuals to establish mediation centres across India under the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism to help Muslim couples amicably resolve their marital disputes
4. Madras HC issues notice to Union law secretary on PIL against mandatory death penalty
In news:
- The Madras High Court has issued notice to the Union law secretary and the secretary of the social justice and empowerment ministry on a PIL, urging for a section of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act), providing for a “mandatory death penalty ”, to be declared as null and void.
- The petitioner, alleged that section 3(2)(I) of the said act, providing for the punishment, was violative of the Constitution .
- Section provided for the punishment if any person, not being a member of the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe community, gave or fabricated false evidence, with an intention to cause a member of the SC/ST community to be convicted for an offence, resulting in the imposition of capital punishment.
- The section added that if such a person was executed on account of the false evidence, the person responsible for the same should also be punished with death
- A mandatory death punishment had been held to be opposed to human dignity and struck down by constitutional courts across the world
1. PM tells tax authorities to bring all traders in GST net
1. Adani, SAAB tie up to build fighter jets
Collaboration with SAAB
- The Adani group has announced a collaboration with Swedish defence major SAAB to manufacture Gripen fighter jets in India, if selected
- However, the partnership would be possible if Adani being shortlisted in the evaluation process
- Why this collaboration: Indian Government is going to issue a multibillion dollar tender for over a 100 single engine fighter jets
Particulars of the Tender
- IAF is expected to begin the process in the next few months for a single engine fighter aircraft to replace the Russian Mig-21s and Mig-27s in service
- The procurement would be under the recently promulgated Strategic Partnership (SP) model of the Defence Procurement Procedure (DPP)
- The deal for 100 plus fighter aircraft is estimated to be worth over Rs. 60,000 crore
Category: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
2. Novel compounds destroy biofilm-forming bacteria
In news:
- Scientists at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) , have developed two new molecules capable of destroying bio-film forming bacteria .
- The molecules performed better than conventional antibiotics in killing the bacteria during the dormant phase
- When used in combination with existing antibiotics, the molecules reduced the microbial burden in the case of burns and surgical wounds.
-
What are Bio-films?
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that attach to each other and to surfaces and are able to act as barriers to antibiotics

 The first in a succession of many. She will leave you like a bird departing from the nest. Taking flight for the first time, and joining the ranks of other chickadees blindly entering the world. Here is the list of necessities. Pencils and crayons and scissors and glue. Double check them twice to ensure nothing is missing.
Look at the way she is. Pause to admire her growth. She models a backpack in the mirror, twists to examine it from all angles. Here she is laughing. Always laughing. This is her: The most personal extension of you. On the day she was born, you took her home and refused to remove her from your side. She slept beside you as you stroked her hair and placed delicate kisses on her skin. And for the first time you felt a certain bitterness in how time seems to pass faster the tighter you try and hold onto it.
Be proud. Your beautiful baby has matured into a beautiful child. She is consumed by joy and all things good.
You are her protector. Nothing exists that you wouldn’t do for her. Her words are ceaseless in production, yet you care about all she has to say. This isn’t duty; it’s devotion. You have volunteered to prepare her for the world and to try and make sense of it. You will teach her to be good, but you will not teach her how to think. Allow her to make mistakes on her own, and she will be stronger because of it.
Tomorrow she will no longer be yours alone.  Time will make her sprout taller. She will lose teeth and replace them with others. She will outgrow these new clothes, beliefs, and the friends she has yet to make. It will not be entirely pleasant. Nothing ever is. She will develop an attitude, and opinions that stray from your own. Time will make her older, and not always wiser. There will be boys. Or girls. All kinds of each. These too will pass until there is only one, and it is time to begin a family of her own. But that time is not now.
Right now she is yours. How long has it been since you were her. You can handle the truth when it doesn’t sting. You have a past of your own. A past filled with people you chose to love on purpose. And now, what seems clear to you is that it is possible to love someone so permanently that it can never be undone.

Woman dies as downpours bring floods across central and northern England
LONDON (Reuters) - A woman was found dead in flood water on Friday after severe storms brought a month’s rainfall in less than 24 hours to parts of central and northern England.
Police said the woman’s body had been found near a stretch of the River Derwent near the town of Darley Dale in Derbyshire.
“The woman was reported as having been swept away by flood water in Rowsley and the body of what is believed to be the same woman was found in Darley Dale,” police said in a statement.
Dozens of people were trapped in a shopping center in the city of Sheffield overnight after becoming stranded by rising waters and about 100 others were rescued from a nearby mall by firefighters in dinghies.
The greatest concern was for homes in six areas around the River Don near the town of Doncaster where water levels reached dangerous record highs.
Residents were initially warned to immediately evacuate although the local authority later advised them to instead remain vigilant.
There were more than 150 alerts in other areas of the country where the Environment Agency cautioned that flooding was either expected or possible.
The torrential rain also brought widespread travel disruption with some rail operators issuing a “do not travel” advice to passengers in places around Sheffield and other affected areas while many roads were also closed.
“Awful to see the terrible flooding across the North of England,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Twitter. “Thank you to the emergency staff & volunteers helping families through this difficult time.”


I have often said, in recent years, that I do not believe in the concept of “writer's block”. I think it is used as a fiddlefaddle excuse by the idle and the indigent, or perhaps by those who prefer swanning about and gallivanting to the Johnsonian drudgery of sitting at a keyboard and bashing the stuff out.
And while it is true, I think, that one does just have to sit there and tippy-tap until the cows come home, I am now prepared to admit that it is entirely possible to do so while filling the pages with twaddle. This is what has happened to me of late. The results of my writing routine have been such godawful piffle that you lot should think yourselves fortunate that I have declined to post any of them here.
I would like to think that I have mislaid my mojo, rather than lost it entirely.  Speaking of dogs, here is a dog:

Pair Programming in Phase 0
Pairing & Feedback
Friday, June 19, 2015
Pairing
- What was it like to pair with others to solve challenges?
- Was something particularly fun or rewarding?
- Was something frustrating and difficult for you?
Pairing with others can be a lot of fun. It can also be a great opportunity to grow culturally. No two sessions are the same, so you are never sure what to expect. Nerves definitely play a big role, especially before the start of a pairing and during the opening few minutes. That seems to be decreasing as the weeks go on, but it is certainly still there.
It can be really rewarding when you and your pair have been struggling on a particular release for a while and then one or both of you figure out the solution. It is also great when Navigating if you are able to find what the Driver is looking for quickly, before you lose your momentum with the challenge.
It can sometimes be frustrating if you and your pair are at different places in the week's curriculum. Being on either end of that can be frustrating, but it can also be an excellent opportunity to learn from your pair or teach them.
Feedback
- How did you feel when you read your feedback?
- Was the feedback you received helpful to your learning?
- Based on the feedback you've received, what are you going to do to improve next time you pair?
- How was it to write feedback?
- What was most difficult for you when writing feedback for your pair?
I was nervous about reading my feedback, at first. It took a while for some to show up and when it did I had three or four pieces to get through. That can be a lot to hear about yourself at once
Absolutely! The actionable constructive feedback that I received I have been incredibly grateful for. It has helped me identify areas I can focus on to improve future pairing sessions.
Based on feedback I have received, I will work on trying to be more vocal with what I want to try and what I think might be a good solution when I have a good understanding of the material. I tend to hold back and not want to interrupt even if I see things going in a direction that might not be productive.
Writing feedback was a tough habit to get into. It is certainly best, from my experience, to do it as soon as your pairing session is over. That way all of the information is fresh in your mind, and you can give more specific feedback.
I think the most difficult part is giving feedback on a pairing session that went really well. It can be tough finding actionable feedback for a pair that seems to really understand the material and be adept at working the code.

Try out our new equilibrator-api repository on GitHub. It's not actually an API to the website, but rather a stand-alone version of eQuilibrator that can easily be run on your own computer.
eQuilibrator data is given in two formats. Tabular data is given as CSV and hierarchical data is given in JSON.
The standard formation energies of biochemical compounds found in the literature can be downloaded at various pH levels. Note that ionic strength is set to 0.1 M for all the files linked below. The thermodynamic data is drawn mostly from the work of the late Prof. Robert Alberty (references here).
It is also possible to compute the standard transformed formation energy for any pH and ionic strength directly using the chemical formation energy table of the various protonation states (pseudoisomers) of all the compounds (download here). Each row in the CSV file corresponds to one pseudoisomer of one compound. The columns' order is: KEGG compound ID, compound name, chemical formation energy (in kJ/mol), number of hydrogen atoms, net charge, number of magnesium ions, note.
The standard Gibbs energies of biochemical reactions in the KEGG database are available for download at various pH levels as well. We use the Component Contribution method to obtain all the given values in the downloadable CSV files. As above, ionic strength is set to 0.1 M for all the files linked below. When a reaction energy cannot be computed, an explanation is given.
It is important not to mix these reaction Gibbs energies with calculations done using the compound formation energies in a single model. These two datasets are not consistent with each other, and mixing could violate the second law of thermodynamics - meaning that a set of reactions that form a cycle might have a total ΔG' different than 0 (a biochemical perpetual motion machine).
The last file is in JSON format and contains many entries, each representing a compound in KEGG (download JSON here). A single compound is represented as follows:
{ "CID": "C00631", "InChI": "InChI=1S/C3H7O7P/c4-1-2(3(5)6)10-11(7,8)9/h2,4H,1H2,(H,5,6)(H2,7,8,9)/t2-/m1/s1", "formula": "C3H7O7P", "mass": 185.9929, "name": "2-Phospho-D-glycerate", "num_electrons": 96, }
Each listed compound will likely have a KEGG ID ("CID"), a chemical formula ("formula"), an InChI identifier ("InChI"), a mass ("mass"), a common name ("name") and a number of electrons ("num_electrons"). When values are are unknown they are omitted.

1 Praise Yahweh!
You who worship Yahweh,
praise him!
2 You who stand at the temple of Yahweh our God in its courtyards, ready to serve him,
praise him !
3 Praise Yahweh because he does good things for us;
sing to him because it is a joyful thing to do so.
4 He has chosen us, the descendants of Jacob;
he has chosen us Israelites to belong to him.
5 I say these things because I know that Yahweh is great;
he is greater than all the gods.
6 Yahweh does whatever he desires to do
in heaven, on the earth,
and in the seas, down to the bottom of the seas.
7 He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth;
he makes lightning bolts to flash with the rain,
and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
8 He is the one who killed all the firstborn males in Egypt,
the firstborn of people and of animals.
9 There he performed many kinds of miracles
to punish the king and all his officials.
10 He attacked many nations
and killed the powerful kings who ruled them:
11 Sihon, the king of the Amor people group,
Og, the king of Bashan,
and all the other kings in the land of Canaan.
12 Then he gave their land to us Israelite people
to belong to us forever.
13 Yahweh, your name will endure forever,
and people who are not yet born will remember the great things that you have done.
14 Yahweh declares that we, his people, are innocent,
and he acts mercifully toward us.
15 But the idols that the other people groups worship are only statues made of silver and gold,
things that humans have made.
16 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say anything;
they have eyes, but they cannot see anything.
17 They have ears, but they cannot hear anything,
and they are not even able to breathe.
18 The people who make those idols are as powerless as those idols,
and those who trust in those idols can accomplish no more than their idols can!
19 My fellow Israelites, praise Yahweh!
You priests who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 You men who are descended from Levi, you who assist the priests, praise Yahweh!
All you who have a reverential respect for Yahweh, praise him!
21 Praise Yahweh in the temple on Mount Zion in Jerusalem
where he lives!
Praise Yahweh!

How did the "Process over Product" concept affect the way you tackled the redesign of your site?
I found this idea encourages you to try absolutely anything. If the end product isn't great, who cares as long as you learned and focused on the process of performing the task you set out for. It is still possible to learn, without delivering a perfect product. However i did find myself putting a lot more time into this weeks sprint, because I would be close to figuring something out, and I wanted to see it through. And I kept wanting to try more things. By no means is my design or code perfect but I am happy with what I've created at this point three weeks into coding(Oct 20, 2017). I definitely learned a lot this week.
What did you think about meditation before reading chapter 2 of Search Inside Yourself?
I have been exposed to meditation in the last few weeks and therefore had a familar view as to what was expressed in chapter 2.
What new things have you learned about meditation?
I learned that meditation is "mental exercise." The same way we train our physical wellness by working out, we can and should do this same with our mind.
 “Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace).” iBooks.
I learned that happiness is the default set of the mind. When the mind is calm and clear, the mind returns to it's default state, happiness. Therefore you don't need to pursue happiness, simply being is happiness.
Did any of the suggested meditation techniques stand out to you?
I like the idea of sitting like a majestic mountain when finding your pose for meditation.
Anything else you found interesting in Chapter 2?
There were a number of things I found interesting:

Existing COM components are valuable resources for using in the managed code. There is almost no difference between using the COM components and managed assemblies in C# script. This is because the COM component is always accessed from the managed code through the type library assembly (which is just an ordinary assembly) prepared with Type Library Importer utility. This utility is a part of .NET Platform SDK. When the type library assembly is prepared it can be used just as any other assembly (see Using COM tutorial).
Note that importing the type library can be automated with pre-script directive ("Single-line COM access"). What practically means that by having a single line //css_... directive in the script code you can gain access to the specified COM object with no extra development cost.
| //css_pre com(WScript.Shell, swshell.dll); using System; using swshell; namespace Scripting { class Script { static public void Main(string[] args) { object envType = "SYSTEM"; IWshEnvironment wshSysEnv = new WshShellClass().get_Environment(ref envType); wshSysEnv["TEST"] = "MyDirectory"; } } } |
dwImpLevel - dwImpLevel parameter of CoInitializeSecurity function (see MSDN for sdetails)
dwCapabilities - dwCapabilities parameter of CoInitializeSecurity function (see MSDN for sdetails)
Note: Currently //css_init directive has no affect if //css_host directive is used.


Gemma Collins boasts about results of slimming injections as she shows off weight loss
The former TOWIE star posed up for a mirror selfie in a pink tracksuit to show off the results of the jabs she's been taking
by Irishmirror.ieGemma Collins boasted about the results of her slimming injections as she posed up to show off her weight loss.
The former TOWIE star slipped into a pink tracksuit and snapped a mirror selfie to reveal her slimmer frame.
The GC has been open about her use of Skinny Jab injections, saying they've helped her shed pounds alongside a healthy diet and plenty of exercise.
Proudly showing off the results, she said: "After the numerous temptations on my holiday to Dubai a few weeks back, I've been desperate to get back on track with me weight ever since!
"Which is why I'm back on the @skinnyjab programme and feeling more determined than ever to stay in shape!
"Caroline and the team always knows exactly how to keep me motivated and healthy - I can't thank them enough!"
Gemma's Dubai trip saw her get back together with on-off boyfriend James 'Arg' Argent following their most recent split.
It's said they've made a bizarre baby pact after reconciling their differences.
According to Heat magazine, The GC, 38, has vowed to have a child with her back-on beau, 31, within the next couple of years but plans to have fun until he is fully 'back on his feet'.
The insider revealed: "Gemma's convinced that she's going to be a mother in the next couple of years, and she can't imagine having a baby with anyone other than Arg.
"But she's keen for him to sort himself out before settling down, so in the meantime, she's looking for some fun and attention."
Gemma and Arg were spotted looking more loved-up than ever in Dubai after rekindling their romance.
They've split and got back together numerous times in the past.
Their most recent split came after Gemma called 999 over fears that James had overdosed.
Speaking out about the incident recently, Arg told OK! magazine : "Gemma loves me to death. She was seriously concerned because she couldn’t get hold of me, which I understand.
"I didn’t have my phone on me because it was charging downstairs. I have put her through a lot so I completely understand her worry. She remembers what she’s been through in the past with me so she thought the worst."

THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS (CHATRAN) A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS (CHATRAN) (1989) is a live action film staring an orange tabby cat called Milo and a white pug with a black face called Otis. Being a person who likes all animals but has three cats, I was pleased to see the cat get top billing and the best lines.
The way to view this picture is to think of the Discovery Channel nature documentaries. Now imagine that someone combines various pieces of film stock so that a story begins to emerge. To this a narrator is hired, and, voila, a feature length film is born. Actually, most of the scenes are set up, but they seem more nature than in a lot of animal pictures. In the English language version, Dudley Moore is the narrator, and he does all of the voices, but the film, which appears to have been shot in America, was made by a Japanese crew and was first released in Japan in 1986 as CHATRAN.
So what is the plot you ask? Wrong question. This is a slice of animal life picture. There is not much plot other than the animals play and slowly grow up. While growing up they have many natural adventures with other animals - hedgehogs, chickens, foxes, and even bears. To give you an idea of the level of the dialog (Masanori Hata and Mark Saltzman), Milo tells the hedgehog, "Touch it and your dead meat," when he looks at the chicken egg Milo has been charged with guarding.
The cinematography by Hideo Fujii and Shinji Tomita is lovely. The music by Ryuichi Sakamoto is effusive. The music helps in the scenes that have potentially frightening aspects like the scene with the bear because they switch to a happy melody like you might hear at a circus.
The best part about the film is its star. Milo is a wonderfully inquisitive kitty with large and expressive eyes. The other animals are also lovable. The only problem with the show is that there is almost nothing there. Granted this is a film aimed at the younger set, say ages 3-6, but still I would have hoped for more.
THE ADVENTURES OF MILO AND OTIS runs 1:16 minutes and boredom set in after about 20 minutes for me. The film is correctly rated G and nothing offensive occurs. The movie would be fine for kids of any age. Although I can not recommend it, my son Jeffrey (almost 7) said he liked it. I give ** for its undeniable sweetness.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

WOMAN ON TOP A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): **
"A story of love, motion sickness, and the art of cooking," Fina Torres's WOMAN ON TOP stars the fetchingly gorgeous PenÚlope Cruz as a sexual Pied Piper named Isabella Oliveira. Cooking food that draws men like flies to honey, Isabella, after she leaves her cheating Brazilian husband, Toninho (Murilo BenÝcio), gets her own television cooking show in San Francisco. Called "Passion Food Live," the show rockets to popularity with its hot-pepper, aphrodisiac cuisine and its sweetly erotic star.
Cruz's performance is easily the best thing about the film and is the only reason one might want to see the picture. Known for her work in foreign language movies such as ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, Cruz is a charming knockout.  With her mixture of childlike innocence and fiery passion, she couldn't have been a more perfect match for what the movie should have been.
Filmed in lush tropical colors and loaded with dynamite food, the movie looks like it should come with a caloric warning label. Surely, watching it must be fattening.
Opening with "Once upon a time in the world of Bossa Nova, a girl was born - Isabella," the film tries to be a romantic, adult fairy tale -- a big budget version of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE crossed with BOSSA NOVA. But Vera Blasi's thin script comes across as more silly than magical. Last year's Sarah Michelle Gellar picture, SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE, covered much of the same ground but with more appeal. Except for the handsome cinematography, WOMAN ON TOP plays like a made-for-TV movie.
The title comes from Isabella's need to be on top during sex, lest she get motion sickness. (This is the cause of the breakup of her marriage since her husband, who says that he has to be on top sometimes, is discovered by Isabella in bed with a less positionally-challenged partner.) The story gets remarkably little mileage out of the idea, concentrating almost entirely on the sensual food angle.
Isabella's assistant on her culinary show is her friend Monica Jones (Harold Perrineau Jr.), who is described as "5-foot-10, great legs, and she's a man." The producer, Cliff Lloyd (Mark Feuerstein), falls head-over-heels in love with Isabella, although his love of the almighty dollar proves to be slightly stronger. Cliff's interest in Isabella is complicated by her husband's showing up on the set, singing sad, soulful Brazilian love songs to her.
 Hopefully her next project will be a better showcase for her talent.
WOMAN ON TOP runs 1:33. It is rated R for some strong sexuality and language and would be acceptable for older teenagers.

Tk_GetImage, Tk_RedrawImage, Tk_SizeOfImage, Tk_FreeImage - use an image in a widget
#include <tk.h>
Tk_Image
Tk_GetImage(interp, tkwin, name, changeProc,
clientData)
Tk_RedrawImage(image, imageX, imageY, width, height,
drawable, drawableX, drawableY)
Tk_SizeOfImage(image, widthPtr, heightPtr)
Tk_FreeImage(image)
These procedures are invoked by widgets that wish to display images. Tk_GetImage is invoked by a widget when it first decides to display an image. name gives the name of the desired image and tkwin identifies the window where the image will be displayed. Tk_GetImage looks up the image in the table of existing images and returns a token for a new instance of the image. If the image doesn't exist then Tk_GetImage returns NULL and leaves an error message in interp->result.
When a widget wishes to actually display an image it must call Tk_RedrawImage, identifying the image (image), a region within the image to redisplay (imageX, imageY, width, and height), and a place to display the image (drawable, drawableX, and drawableY). Tk will then invoke the appropriate image manager, which will display the requested portion of the image before returning.
A widget can find out the dimensions of an image by calling Tk_SizeOfImage: the width and height will be stored in the locations given by widthPtr and heightPtr, respectively.
When a widget is finished with an image (e.g., the widget is being deleted or it is going to use a different image instead of the current one), it must call Tk_FreeImage to release the image instance. The widget should never again use the image token after passing it to Tk_FreeImage. There must be exactly one call to Tk_FreeImage for each call to Tk_GetImage.
If the contents or size of an image changes, then any widgets using the image will need to find out about the changes so that they can redisplay themselves. The changeProc and clientData arguments to Tk_GetImage are used for this purpose. changeProc will be called by Tk whenever a change occurs in the image; it must match the following prototype:
typedef void Tk_ImageChangedProc( ClientData clientData, int x, int y, int width, int height, int imageWidth, int imageHeight);
The clientData argument to changeProc is the same as the clientData argument to Tk_GetImage. It is usually a pointer to the widget record for the widget or some other data structure managed by the widget. The arguments x, y, width, and height identify a region within the image that must be redisplayed; they are specified in pixels measured from the upper-left corner of the image. The arguments imageWidth and imageHeight give the image's (new) size.
