Description
This course will cover modern machine learning techniques from a Bayesian probabilistic perspective. Bayesian probability allows us to model and reason about all types of uncertainty. The result is a powerful, consistent framework for approaching many problems that arise in machine learning, including parameter estimation, model comparison, and decision making. We will begin with a high-level introduction to Bayesian inference, then proceed to cover more-advanced topics.

Books
There is no required book for this course. That said, there are a wide variety of machine-learning books available, some of which are available for free online. The following books all have a Bayesian slant to them:
- Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (PRML) by Christopher M. Bishop. Covers many machine-learning topics thoroughly. Definite Bayesian focus. Can also be very mathematical and take some effort to read.
- Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning (BRML) by David Barber. Geared (as much as a machine-learning book can be!) towards computer scientists. Lots of material on graphical models. Freely available online.
- Gaussian Processes for Machine Learning (GPML) by Carl Rasmussen and Christopher Williams. Excellent reference for Gaussian processes. Freely available online.
- Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms by David J. C. Mackay. Very strong focus on information theory. If you have a background in physics or are interested in information theory, this is the book for you. Freely available online.
For a more-frequentist perspective, check out the excellent The Elements of Statistical Learning by Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jerome Friedman. Freely available online.
Websites
- I will post the source for lecture notes, demo code, etc. on this GitHub page. Even the source for the syllabus and this website are there.
- I have created a Piazza message board for this class. Please post any questions about the homework, etc. to the message board! Chances are that someone else has the same question and we can all benefit from a public discussion. If you have a question just for me and/or me and the TA, please also post this to Piazza rather than emailing us directly; you should be able to mark your message appropriately to keep it private.
- Metacademy's roadmap to Bayesian machine learning. This is a great resource for finding additional materials related to essentially every subject we will cover in this course.
- There are several relevant courses available on Coursera. Coursera gives you access to video lecture series, often from world experts, all available for free! In particular, the following three courses are all presented by leaders in the field:
Other
The Matrix Cookbook by Kaare B. Petersen and Michael S. Pedersen can be incredibly useful for helping with tricky linear alegbra problems!

Learning is big part of my every day excistence. Currently I'm learning JavaScript and graphic design.
Experimenting is the fun of trying, figuring out, failing and improving. I never grow out of the childlike exploring of making things.
Be better tomorrow than you were yesterday. Grow as a human, and live the life of it's fullest.
I got my first website creation experience in my dad's log house production company. I was in charge of all the images and floor plans that went to this site. In late nineties I studied some coding at highschool but I didn't think much of it. After graduating as a timber engineer in 2005 I got my first full time job in a timber construction company. I started as a sales assistant and worked my way up to project manager in two short years. Besides managing construction projects I collaborated with a web developer and created content to company's website (images, graphics and floor plans).
I started blogging before I came to Australia in 2008. I wrote weekly about travelling, backpacking and all the interesting happenings when travelling. I kept writing about 4 years and then felt my life was getting a bit normal and settled. I stopped sharing my stories.
These years were the most stable years in my work career. In Independent Timber Supplies, Rockingham WA, I was responsible for timber quantity take-offs, detailed design and drawings for residential buildings. I did lots of sewing, felting and ran few craft workshops on my downtime to balance the material estimation and drafting work tasks.
I prepared my motherhood with many new projects because I was certain that stay-at-home-mums do nothing all day. It's taken me almost 4 years to find my new career path in web development and learn the new skills. Working from home is something I really enjoy. Kids and household duties add definitely extra challenge to it but managing time and tasks efficiently has given me the confidence I can work remotely.
One thing leads to another and my interest to web development has increased over the past 2 years. I've learned HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and use some popular frameworks like Bootstrap and JQuery. Design's been always a part of my life, starting from designing clothes and timber furniture to designing residential houses. I want to focus on grafic design and create beautiful online experiences in near future.

Calm: 3TWA Blueprint¶
Overview¶
Calm Blueprint (3TWA)¶
In this exercise you will extend the MySQL Blueprint created previously into a basic 3 Tier Web Application (a Task Manager), as shown below. You’ll also add the ability to perform Day 2 operations (scaling) to the blueprint.
Creating the Web Server¶
From Prism Central > Services > Calm, select Blueprints from the sidebar and select your Blueprint from the previous exercise. An Action menu has been enabled on the top, click on it and Clone your blueprint.
Specify Calm3TWA<INITIALS> in the Blueprint Name field.
Click Clone to continue.
Select the MySQL service object, and create two clones of the deployment. Click twice on the clone deployment icon ( )
Choose one of the two new services to convert this into the WebServer. With the WebServer service icon selected in the workspace window, scroll to the top of the Configuration Panel, click VM.
Rename the following fields:
- Service Name - WebServer
- Name - WebServerAHV
- VM Name - WEBSERVER-@@{calm_array_index}@@-@@{calm_time}@@
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
With the WebServer service icon selected in the workspace window, scroll to the top of the Configuration Panel, click Package. Rename the Package to WEBSERVER_PACKAGE, and then click the Configure install button.
On the Blueprint Canvas section, click on the existing task in the Package Install field and update all the fields on the Configuration Panel on the right with:
- Name Task - Install_webserver
- Type - Execute
- Script Type - Shell
- Credential - CENTOS
Replace the existing script with the next one:

Adding Dependencies¶
As our application will require the database to be running before the web server starts, our Blueprint requires a dependency to enforce this ordering. There are a couple of ways to do this, one of which we’ve already done without likely realizing it. If you didn’t save after the last step, be sure to do that first.
In the Application Overview > Application Profile section, expand the Default Application Profile (if you renamed the Application Profile at a previous step, then just select that re-named application profile). Next, click on the Create Profile Action and view the Workspace:
Take note of the Orange Orchestration Edge going from the MySQL Start task to the WebServer Package Install task. This edge was automatically created by Calm due to the @@{MySQL.address}@@ macro reference in the WebServer Package Install task. Since the system needs to know the IP Address of the MySQL service prior to being able to proceed with the WebServer Install task, it automatically creates the orchestration edge. This requires the MySQL service to be started prior to moving on to the WebServer Install task.
Next, back in the Application Overview > Application Profile section, select the Stop Profile Action. View the Workplace section: notice how there are no orange orchestration edges? This could cause issues if the MySQL service shutdown slightly before the WebServer accepted a request. Click on each Profile Action to take note of the current presence (or lack thereof) of the orange orchestration edges.
To resolve this, we’ll manually create a dependency. In the Workspace, select the WebServer Service and click the Create Dependency icon that appears above the Service icon, and then click on the MySQL service. This represents that the WebServer service “depends” upon the MySQL service, meaning the MySQL service will start before, and stop after, the WebServer service.
Click Save.  Click on each Profile Action to see the difference compared to before the white dependency arrow was drawn.
Adding Replicas¶
Calm makes it simple to add multiple copies of a given Service, which is helpful for scale out workloads such as web servers.
In the Workspace, select the WebServer Service.
In the Configuration Pane, select the Service tab.
Under Deployment Config, change the Min number of replicas from 1 to 2, and the Max Number of replicas from 1 to 4.
Creating the Load Balancer¶
To take advantage of a scale out web tier our application needs to be able to load balance connections across multiple web server VMs. HAProxy is a free, open source TCP/HTTP load balancer used to distribute workloads across multiple servers. It can be used in small, simple deployments and large web-scale environments such as GitHub, Instagram, and Twitter.
Select the remaining cloned service to convert this into the HAProxy load balancer. With the HAProxy service icon selected in the workspace window, scroll to the top of the Configuration Panel, click VM.
Rename the following fields:
- Service Name - HAProxy
- Name - HAProxyAHV
- VM Name - HAPROXY-@@{calm_array_index}@@-@@{calm_time}@@
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
With the WebServer service icon selected in the workspace window, scroll to the top of the Configuration Panel, click Package. Rename the Package to HAPROXY_PACKAGE, and then click the Configure install button.
On the Blueprint Canvas section, click on the existing task in the Package Install field and update all the fields on the Configuration Panel on the right with:
- Name Task - Install_haproxy
- Type - Execute
- Script Type - Shell
- Credential - CENTOS
Replace the existing script with the next one:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y haproxy
sudo setenforce 0

do echo " server host-${host} ${host}:${port} weight 1 maxconn 100 check" | sudo tee -a /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

sudo systemctl restart haproxy
Select the HAProxy service icon in the workspace window again and scroll to the top of the Configuration Panel, click Package, and then click the Configure uninstall button.
On the Blueprint Canvas section, click on the existing task in the Package Uninstall field and update all the fields on the Configuration Panel on the right with:
- Name Task - Uninstall_haproxy
- Type - Execute
- Script Type - Shell
- Credential - CENTOS
Replace the existing script with the next one:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
sudo
yum -y erase haproxy
Click Save.
In the Workspace, select the HAProxy Service and click the Create Dependency icon that appears above the Service icon. Select the WebServer Service.
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
Scale Out¶
Imagine you’re the administrator of the Task Manager Application that we’ve been building, and you’re currently unsure of the amount of demand for this application by your end users. Or imagine you expect the demand to ebb and flow due to the time of the year. How can we easily scale to meet this changing demand?
If you recall in a previous step, we set the minimum number of WebServer replicas to 2, and our maximum to 4. In current versions of Calm, the minimum number is always the starting point. In the event our default 2 replicas of our WebServer web server is not enough to handle the load of your end users, we can perform a Scale Out Action.
In the Application Overview > Application Profile section, expand the Default Application Profile. Then, select next to the Actions section. On the Configuration Panel to the right, rename the new Action to be Scale Out.
At the bottom outside of the WebServer service tile, click the + Task button, then fill out the following fields:
- Task Name - web_scale_out
- Type - Scaling
- Scaling Type - Scale Out
- Scaling Count - 1
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
When a user later runs the Scale Out task, a new WebServer VM will get created, and the Package Install tasks for that service will be exectured. However, we do need to modify the HAProxy configuration in order to start taking advantage of this new web server.
At the bottom of the HAProxy service tile, click the + Task button, then fill out the following fields:
- Task Name - add_webserver
- Type - Execute
- Script Type - Shell
- Credential - CENTOS
Copy and paste the following script into the Script field:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
host=$(echo "@@{WebServer.address}@@" | awk -F "," '{print $NF}')
port=80
echo " server host-${host} ${host}:${port} weight 1 maxconn 100 check" | sudo tee -a /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart haproxy
That script will grab the last address in the WebServer address array, and add it to the haproxy.cfg file. However, we want to be sure that this doesn’t happen until after the new WebServer is fully up, otherwise the HAProxy server may send requests to a non-functioning WebServer.
To solve this issue, on the Workspace, click on the web_scale_out task, then the Create Edge arrow icon, and finally click on the add_webserver task to draw the edge. Afterwards your Workspace should look like this:
Scale In¶
Again imagine you’re the administrator of this Task Manager Application we’re building. It’s the end of your busy season, and you’d like to scale the Web Server back in to save on resource utilization. To accomplish this, navigate to the Application Overview > Application Profile section, expand the Default Application Profile. Then, select next to the Actions section. On the Configuration Panel to the right, rename the new Action to be Scale In.
At the bottom outside of the WebServer service tile, click the + Task button, then fill out the following fields:
- Task Name - web_scale_in
- Type - Scaling
- Scaling Type - Scale In
- Scaling Count - 1
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
When a user later runs the Scale In task, the last WebServer replica will have its Package Uninstall task run, the VM will be shut down, and then deleted, which will reclaim resources. However, we do need to modify the HAProxy configuration to ensure that we’re no longer sending traffic to the to-be-deleted Web Server.
At the bottom of the HAProxy service tile, click the + Task button, then fill out the following fields:
- Task Name - del_webserver
- Type - Execute
- Script Type - Shell
- Credential - CENTOS
Copy and paste the following script into the Script field:
#!/bin/bash
set -ex
host=$(echo "@@{WebServer.address}@@" | awk -F "," '{print $NF}')
sudo sed -i '/$host/d' /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart haproxy
That script will grab the last address in the WebServer address array, and remove it from the haproxy.cfg file. Similar to the last step, we want to be sure that this happens before the new WebServer is destroyed, otherwise the HAProxy server may send requests to a non-functioning WebServer.
To solve this issue, on the Workspace, click on the del_webserver task, then the Create Edge arrow icon, and finally click on the web_scale_in task to draw the edge. Afterwards your Workspace should look like this:
Click Save and ensure no errors or warnings pop-up. If they do, resolve the issue, and Save again.
Launching and Managing the Application¶
Within the blueprint editor, click Launch. Specify a unique Application Name (e.g. Calm3TWA*<INITIALS>*-2) and click Create. Monitor the application as it deploys.
Once the application changes into a RUNNING state, navigate to the Services tab and select the HAProxy service. On the panel that pops open on the right, highlight and copy the IP Address field. In a new browser tab or window, navigate to http://<HAProxy-IP>, and test out your Task Manager Web Application.
Now, back within Calm, navigate to the Manage tab, and click the play button next to the Scale Out task, and click Run to Scale out the Web Server. Monitor the Scale Out action on the Audit tab.
Takeaways¶
- Applications typically span across multiple VMs, each responsible for different services. Calm is capable of automated and orchestrating full applications.
- Dependencies between services can be easily modeled in the Blueprint Editor.
- Users can quickly provision entire application stacks for production or testing for repeatable results without time lost to manual configuration.
- Day 2 operations such as scaling can also be easily modeled, allowing administrators to manage an application for months or years.


Silly Cat Shakes Paw at Lounging Owner
Asuka, a Los Angeles-based cat, recently caused some eyebrow-raising after she opted to hold up her paw against her owner Rob Whisman, who was lounging across from the curious cat.
“Did she just shake her fist at me?” Whisman initially wrote on his Monday Twitter post; however, he later revised his remarks in a subsequent tweet, noting that Asuka was just waving hello.
“Upon closer inspection she appears to be waving hello. Also normal,” he added.

--- layout: post title: "Day 20 - Bar Brothers Workout" subtitle: "Hi friends, today morning I saw that I was successful, my weight at the beginning of this week already stands at 94kg which is excellent. This week we will see if I reach 92k and if so then maybe in two weeks I will already reach 90kg. It all depends on what the week will be, as well as the pullup attempts at this week's training." date: 2019-11-10 background: '/img/posts/intro-barbrothers.png' ---
So today I was able to tall myself success, to come and reach such weight as early as the week it is very encouraging. At first I thought I would consider a lot at the beginning of the week, but maybe that's how I can reach 92kg this weekend.
In the evening I was really hungry, but I stopped to rest at home anyway, drank fruit smoothies, pear and dates with water. It was nice it kind of woke me up but didn't really calm the hunger, after letting my girl sleep, I decided to do sports at home anyway.
I started with the killer cardio I do every day, then I did Bar Brothers Cardio training, and then I did what I wrote, reverse pullup, it was hard, I got on the Bar and then I slowed down, the rate of decline was about 3 seconds. Between each round, I waited 15 seconds. Each set contained 5 rounds and in total I made 3 sets which is 15 rounds.
It was hard and my arms hurt a lot after I finished, so I ate a tuna with tied eggs and lots of tea. I took a shower and went to bed. Being hungry is not good. But what's interesting is that I'm losing weight. Anyway that evening I did something extra.
I made green pork with garlic and onion and added 8 almonds to it, today I will eat it at noon, I tasted it yesterday and it was delicious, I will take two fruits and green tea tomorrow, I really hope to reach a weight of 92kg this weekend.
From what it looks like my body realizes that I am in a state of decline and that I am not going to stop and therefore it seems to me that the body is adapting itself to the situation. Once someone told me that if I want to make some change in life and I know what ways I should make the change, I have to follow those ways for 40 days, then it will be easier and the change will be clearer.
So this is a two year old friends, I am on the road to change and this is the 20th day and I think my body understands this and is now shedding more than 0.2kg every day.
Good night.


array get_meta_tags ( string $filename [, bool $use_include_path = false ] )
Opens filename and parses it line by line for <meta
> tags in the file. The parsing stops at </head
>.
Returns an array with all the parsed meta tags. The value of the name property becomes the key, the value of the content property becomes the value of the returned array, so you can easily use standard array functions to traverse it or access single values. Special characters in the value of the name property are substituted with '_', the rest is converted to lower case. If two meta tags have the same name, only the last one is returned.


Technology
Mining Tool
- 50m3 Storage volume for mined materials.
- Rocket blasters
o There are eight small rocket blasters, one at each corner. These are used to match the velocity of the orbiting asteroid. They slowly bring the container down onto the asteroid and stabilise it in the zero-gravity environment. They are used again to gently propel the container off the asteroid.
o The extracted hydrogen and oxygen from the asteroid are combusted together to power the rocket blasters.
- Data Receiver
o The data receiver is a parabolic dish with an antenna that concentrates informational signals like position, conditions and materials collected back to interested parties on Earth.
- Track
o The miner has a continuous track with retractable claws that dig into the ground as the craft lands to minimise recoil in a zero-gravity environment.
- Solar panels
o Eight solar panels supply power to the batteries of the data receiver and Mobile Material Mining Unit during the time the craft is facing the sun.
- Mobile Material Mining Unit (MMMU)
o This is a compact unit that utilises laser technology to mine materials on the asteroid
We will adopt the design of JPL’S Rock climbing robot
▪ This is NASA designed technology that assists in gripping onto surfaces in zero gravity. It has many small claws that stretch, move and rotate relative to one another. It is inspired by the hooks on the legs of insects like grasshoppers.
o Laser drilling tool
▪ Lasers attached to the arms of the MMMU cut into the asteroid and scoop a 1m3 cylinder of material out to be analysed.
o Sensor units
▪ The craft will have external environmental sensors to map and navigate terrain and internal sensors that determine the composition of the block of mined asteroid. This data is sent back to the main container using a small dish antenna.
o Storage volume
▪ There is a 1m3 container to store the mined material until it is deposited into the container shaft.
o Water extraction unit
▪ Heaters, powered by solar panels, heat up cubes of material where ice has been detected. This melts the ice and will allow it to funnel out of the block.
o Hydrogen and oxygen (fuel) extraction unit
▪ A battery powered by solar panels is connected to the extracted water and creates an anode and a cathode. Through electrolysis, the water molecules are separated into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Although the net energy output is small, due to zero gravity, only a small amount of energy is required for takeoff and landing.
o The Panoramic camera (Pancam)
▪ Pancam is a colour imaging system designed by NASA which can rotate 360 degrees and create multispectral images
Probe
Probe:
Have a probe that travels from asteroid to asteroid includes:
- Data Receiver
o Parabolic dish antenna concentrate the data signal of position, conditions and materials collected, back to earth and investors.
- Variable speed control
o The speed of the craft will be controlled by the rocket thrusters, so the more combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen that occurs the faster the craft will travel.
- Rocket Thrusters
o There are three rocket blasters, one underneath, and one on each opposite sides. These are used to match the velocity of the asteroid in its orbit around the sun and then slowly and effectively navigate the container down onto the asteroid to minimise bouncing due to zero gravity. They are again used to gently propel Hydrogen and oxygen will be combusted to power the blasters for both take off from base and landing on asteroid.
o Taking the extracted hydrogen and oxygen and combusting them together this powers the rocket thrusters.
- JPL’S Rock climbing robot
o A NASA designed technology that helps crafts get a grip on surfaces in zero gravity. It does this by many small claws that stretch and move and rotate relative to one another, inspired by insects.
- Solar panels on surface to power rockets
o Four solar panels to supply power to the batteries of the data receiver and Mobile Material Mining unit during the time that that part of the asteroid is facing the sun.
Hedgehog (roams asteroid to gather data)
- Magnets
- Seismic Acquisition
o An estimation of the contents of the core of the asteroid can be created by creating seismic waves which penetrate into the rock and reflect back. These waves are created with a piston which hits the ground using power from compressed air. The time it takes and angle which the waves are reflected back is picked up by sensors found on the feet of the probe and this data is gathered and model. This will provide information on densities of the rock allowing for scientists to work out what is in the core.
- Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini TES) – A NASA Technology Operating in the thermal infrared region of the spectrum, it identifies rock-forming minerals, and also provides some capability to see through dust coatings that could tend to obscure spectral features of rocks.
- Moessbauer Spectrometer – A NASA Technology which provides the detailed mineralogy of different kinds of iron-bearing rocks and soils. Placed against material, the spectrometer illuminates rock surfaces with gamma particles which interact with the nuclei of the atoms. characteristics of the radiation reflected back into the spectrometer are recorded and measured to determine the presence, amount and types of iron-bearing minerals.
- Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) - A NASA technology which works by exposing materials to energetic alpha particles and X-rays and then measuring the energy spectra of backscattered alpha and X-radiation.
- The Panoramic camera (Pancam)
§ A colour imaging system designed by NASA which can rotate 360 degrees and creates multispectral images.

📚 Christmas: A Story of Acculturation
Christmas- a time of family gift giving and merrymaking. We all know and celebrate this
holiday. But what cultural interactions had to happen to create this holiday? Who assimilated? Who
acculturated? What elements were adopted?
Here's a short visual history of the various cultural events throughout Christmas' history:
Above is a timeline I created - click on it to view it at full size.
Early cultures were heavily dependant on seasons. Because of this, the Winter
Solstice was one of the most important events of the year in the early centuries.
Many important celebrations fell around this time. The holiday of Christmas continued this, falling on the
25th day of December.
🎄 Why does Christmas fall on the 25th?
The date of the 25th is adopted from ancient pagan Roman culture. 'Saturnalia', a massively important holiday during
the Winter Solstice, took place in December as well. Because of this, it was fitting to make
Christmas during this time since people were already celebrating.
An image depicting Saturnalia (courtesy of Radix Journal)
📎 It is believed by Christians that Jesus is the light of the world- Christians thought the Winter Solstice was the best time to celebrate his birth because it has some of the longest days of the year (the most light).
🧩 Which cultures are interacting?
In the beginning, Christians (dominant) and Romans (subculture) were
interacting. The Christians acculturated into the Roman tradition of having holidays during major seasons (like the Winter Solstice), which is an important
interaction in the history of Christmas. Christmas is a holiday that has been massively altered by a large amount of
different cultures. I am going to be focusing on the initial interactions in this paragraph,
with later paragraphs detailing the rest of the interactions.
Notice how Christmas celebrations are referred to as "Satanical Practices."
Puritans did not like the idea of Christmas. They believed that all practices that are not
strictly rooted within the Bible should be eliminated, and Christmas did not fit their guidelines.
As a result, the Puritans did not like the idea of
Christmas. Christmas was often associated with
feasting, drinking, games, and merriment. This, the Puritans felt, was a distraction from religious
discipline. In 1659, the Puritans banned England in Christmas.
Puritans tried to assimilate Christians into their own cultural beliefs by banning the celebration of Christmas for many years in history.
📉 Puritanism falls out of favor.
Puritanism began to fall out of favor, and by 1840, Christmas began a universally accepted
holiday throughout the US.
Christmas was officially declared as a National Holiday in 1870. 🎈
✨ What elements were adopted?
As I mentioned earlier, the time during which Christmas occurs was adopted by Christians from the ancient pagan Roman culture.
Because of other celebrations that were ongoing at the time, Christians acculturated and added their holiday to the list of those occurring during the Winter Solstice.
🌠 Assimilation or Acculturation?
This is definitely an example of acculturation. Christmas was heavily influenced by other cultures and even took on features of other cultures, such as the date of the holiday. However, I also feel that this could be an example of assimilation since the Puritans tried to assimilate the Christians into not participating in the holiday due to their religious beliefs.
Overall, Christmas was heavily influenced by other cultures and even took on features of other cultures, such
as the date of the holiday.
Later in history, as Christmas became a more modernized holiday, it lost a lot of it's religious meaning and became a more universal celebration. Various cultures contributed
their ideas into holiday, while also changing the dominant Christian culture. Here are some of the various contributions that changed Christmas:
- England in the 18th century - Gift giving to family members was adopted.
- Dutch in the 1821 - Created the name for Santa Claus (known as just Saint Nicholas beforehand), originating from the word 'Sinterklaas'.
- England in the 1843 - Produced the first Christmas card.
- America in the 1870's - Popularized Christmas trees, making them a common feature of the average American household.
- England in the 1950's - Christmas trees became accessible to everyone in England.

The IR sensor gets readings from the IR ball, and can give you information on where and how far away the ball is. To learn about how to use the sensor, we can look at the HiTechnic spec sheet and also Google.
#include <Wire.h> //Include the Wire Library #include <HTInfraredSeeker.h> //Include the IR Seeker Library //setup runs once at the beginning void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); //Starts the Serial Monitor so we can read output Serial.println("Dir\tStrength"); //Prints Dir & Strength at top InfraredSeeker::Initialize(); //initializes the IR sensor } //loop runs repeatedly void loop() { //Read the AC (pulsed) information from the IR Sensor InfraredResult InfraredBall = InfraredSeeker::ReadAC(); Serial.print(InfraredBall.Direction); //Print the Direction Number Serial.print("\t");//Print a tab Serial.print(InfraredBall.Strength); //Print the Strength Number Serial.println(); //Print a new line delay(100); //delay a tenth of a second }
Above, you will see the example code provided with the library. Copy and paste the code into a new Arduino sketch. After you know you have connected the IR Sensor properly, plug in and run the code. As you run the code, experiment with the following questions to determine how the IR Sensor works, and how you can use it’s output to determine where the ball is.


Real Madrid will seal Van de Beek's signing in January
by BeSoccerReal Madrid are still interesting in Donny van de Beek and there are now rumours of 'Los Blancos' sealing his transfer in January so that he arrives in the summer.
Real Madrid are not a team known for making big movements in the January transfer window although this time it does look like they are planning to move and get everything sorted as soon as possible.
One of these would be Donny Van de Beek's signing, according to the Italian media outlet 'CalcioMercato'. Real Madrid are still interested in the Dutchman and are pretending to emulate Barcelona.
The Catalans completed Frenkie de Jong's deal announcing an agreement in the winter months, even though the Ajax player did not move to Barcelona until the summer.
Featured links
- Ballon d'Or winner already been decided
- The latest football transfers news and rumours
- Possible 'Clasico' in the Spanish Supercup final
- Who has the most free-kicks goals: Messi or Cristiano?
This same system is the one which Real want to do this time. They would seal the deal before the rest of their competitors have time to do so.
Real Madrid really like him because of his versatility in the whole of midfield.
But, as 'CalcioMercato' have said, these qualities have also caught the attention of other clubs like Inter and Juve. However, Real Madrid seem to have hit the front and January will be key.

Dusk2Dawn: Apple Watch Timezone App
Problem
In the last year, my boyfriend has moved from Canada to the US and then Sweden. With him moving to England for the summer before returning home, I wanted an easier way to keep track of the time where he was.
Although there were time zone widgets in the clock app on my phone, they weren’t very visually attractive and gave me more information than I was seeking. I also wanted to look at what a clock app on a digital interface like the Apple Watch could look like. That was the birth of Dusk2Dawn.
Research
I was particularly inspired by the
Lunar app as well as
this concept by Che Harvey. The use of bright colours and goal of communicating time in a more human way, whether through friends or natural patterns served as a great starting point for my process.
The
WatchOS design guidelines provided by Apple helped me to tailor my design approach to align with the original design philosophy of the product. Focusing on the specific ideals of being mindful and focused when communicating with the user, I set out to create a glanceable and actionable app that conveyed only the most relevant information.
Prototypes
Prototypes in chronological order, created in Figma
When beginning on my design, I originally had begun with the idea of a gradient from dusk to dawn and a minimalist watch face. I was especially tied to the idea of a minimalist watch face because of the Apple Watch’s role in daily life as a non-intrusive, lightweight way to access relevant information in a timely manner.
The focal concept of this minimalist design was the idea of using a 24 hour clock. A more obscure, less familiar style of clock face would mean some confusion moving from the 12 hour to 24 hour format for most users. Therefore, the concept of time that was present on the screen had to convey information in an easily digestible form. I wanted colour and typography to carry symbolism in order to minimize the amount of descriptive text that a user would need to understand my design.
After a few iterations and consulting with users, two visual changes were made — the colour palette and how times were displayed. I moved from a sunset colour palette to a yellow to blue gradient in order to better convey the movement of time from morning to night. Furthermore, I eliminated icons and instead used notches, a familiar symbol from watch faces, to illustrate where a location’s time was relative to the 24 hour clock. The result was a clean interface with time, location and the relationship between time and location displayed using text, colour and familiar visual analogies from the world of watches.
24h view, settings, and 12h view
Reflection
This was one of the toughest projects I have tackled to date. With so little space and emphasis on minimal design, every element I chose to incorporate or remove made key differences in the user experience. Some ideas I have for future iterations of this design are the ability to fast forward or rewind the time to plan times, animations like stars and clouds with haptic feedback, and a varied colour gradient aligned with the weather in the location of the user.
Try out the Figma prototype
here. If you have any ideas for what could be improved, I’d love to hear your feedback! :)
Thank you for reading!

Avengers Actor Mark Ruffalo Opens Up On Hulk’s Future In MCU Films, Says He Can Come Up With A Storyline
No one knows what is his future in the MCU films further.
by Koimoi.com TeamMarvel has given us some amazing superheroes and Hulk is one of them. After Edward Norton in the first film, the character is wonderfully played by Mark Ruffalo.
A few months ago, MCU announced their upcoming phase which will have special series for Loki, Wanda Vision, Hawkeye and films for Black Widow, Thor and the Guardians of The Galaxy. Earlier, even superheroes like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor got their standalone films. However, Hulk with Mark Ruffalo playing the character hasn’t got a solo film. No one knows what is his future in the MCU films further.
This concern was raised by Marvel and Hulk fans. They are of the hopes that Mark too will get a solo film for Dr. Bruce Banner. The talented actor recently appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and was asked about the same. The actor said that he can come up with a storyline for his characters.
Ruffalo said, “I don’t know. I do know that I did give Kevin Feige the Blockbuster Award at the Hollywood Film Awards the other day to a smattering of applause and he did say, ‘Hey, do you think there’s any more story left here?’ and I said ‘I could probably come up with a few storylines,’ and he said ‘Maybe you should come in and we’ll have a talk.”
Well, we don’t know about a solo film but we hope we get to see our cute and angry Hulk in upcoming MCU films.

The REPAIR LOCATE OptionThe LOCATE option of the REPAIR utility zaps DB2 data. The term zap refers to the physical modification of data at specific address locations. This form of the REPAIR utility can be used to perform the following functions:
The REPAIR LOCATE utility functions similarly to the IBM AMASPZAP utility. By specifying page locations and offsets, specific RIDs, or key data, you can use the REPAIR utility to alter the data stored at the specified location. Although it generally is not recommended and is not easy, the REPAIR LOCATE utility can sometimes be of considerable help in resolving errors difficult to correct by normal means (that is, using SQL). The sample JCL provided in Listing 31.6 depicts the REPAIR JCL necessary to modify the data on the third page of the fourth partition at offset 50 for the sample table space DSN8D81A.DSN8S81E. Listing 31.6. REPAIR LOCATE JCL//DB2JOBU JOB (UTILITY),'DB2 REPAIR LOCATE',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=X, // NOTIFY=USER //* //**************************************************************** //* //* DB2 REPAIR UTILITY : : LOCATE AND MODIFY DATA //* //**************************************************************** //* //UTIL EXEC DSNUPROC,SYSTEM=DSN,UID='REPRLOCT',UTPROC=" //* //* UTILITY INPUT CONTROL STATEMENTS //* The REPAIR statement modifies the data on the third //* page at offset X'0080' from the value 'SP' to the //* value 'ST'. This update happens only if that location //* contains 'SP'. Additionally, the two characters are //* dumped to ensure that the modification is correct. //* //DSNUPROC.SYSIN DD * REPAIR OBJECT LOCATE TABLESPACE DSN8D81A.DSN8S81D PAGE X'03' VERIFY OFFSET X'0080' DATA 'SP' REPLACE OFFSET X'0080' DATA 'ST' DUMP OFFSET X'0080' LENGTH 2 /* // REPAIR LOCATE Locking ConsiderationsThe REPAIR LOCATE utility with the DUMP option takes an S-lock on the table space and an index, if available, during the REPAIR phase. The REPAIR LOCATE utility with the REPLACE option takes a SIX-lock on the table space and any related indexes during the REPAIR phase. REPAIR LOCATE GuidelinesLog All RepairsRun the REPAIR utility with the LOG YES option. This ensures that all data changes are logged to DB2 and are therefore recoverable. Ensure That Adequate Recovery Is AvailableCreate a backup copy of any table space to be operated on by the REPAIR utility when the intent is to modify data. To make a backup, use the COPY utility or the DSN1COPY service aid utility. Avoid SVC Dumps When Using REPAIRWhen determining the location and values of data to be repaired, use a dump produced only by one of the following methods:
Do not use an SVC dump, because the information contained therein might not accurately depict the DB2 data as it exists on DASD. Use VERIFY with REPLACEWhen replacing data in a DB2 table space, code the VERIFY option, which ensures that the value of the data being changed is as expected. If the value does not match the VERIFY specification, subsequent REPLACE specifications will not occur. This provides the highest degree of safety when executing the REPAIR utility and also maintains data integrity. Use REPAIR LOCATE with CautionREPAIR LOCATE should be used only by a knowledgeable systems programmer or DBA. Familiarity with the MVS utility program AMASPZAP is helpful. Do Not Use REPAIR on the DB2 Catalog and DB2 DirectoryREPAIR LOCATE can be used to modify the DB2 Catalog and DB2 Directory data sets. However, these data sets have a special format and should be modified with great care. It is recommended that REPAIR never be run on these data sets. If you do not heed this warning, be sure to consult the DB2 Diagnosis Guide and Reference for the physical format of these data sets before proceeding. Repair the "Broken" Page Bit When NecessarySometimes DB2 erroneously sets the "broken" page bit. If you determine that the page is correct after examining the contents using dumps and the REPAIR utility, you can invoke REPAIR LOCATE with the RESET option to reset the "broken" page bit. However, be absolutely sure that the page in question is accurate before modifying this bit. Grant REPAIR Authority JudiciouslyRemember that REPAIR authority must be granted before anyone can execute the REPAIR utility. However, it is common for many shops to grant REPAIR authority to beginning users or production jobs in order to reset pending flags. Because the REPAIR authority cannot be broken down into which option is needed (that is DBD, LOCATE, or SET), blanket authority to execute any type of REPAIR is given when REPAIR authority is granted. This could be dangerous if an uneducated user stumbles across the ability to zap DB2 table space data. Remember that REPAIR authority is implicit in the group-level DBCTRL, DBADM, SYSCTRL, and SYSADM authorities. |

On Tuesday morning, a report came out in The Athletic that people both high up in the organization of Cleveland’s baseball team and in the MLB knew about Mickey Callaway’s inappropriate behavior.
For those who do not know, Callaway is currently the pitching coach for the Los Angeles Angels, but he served in that position in Cleveland’s farm system and then with the MLB team from 2010 to 2017. In early February, an article in The Athletic told the stories of multiple women who claimed Callaway had sexually harassed them. This report led to Callaway being put on leave by the Angels while the investigation was ongoing.
When it came to Cleveland, there was one big question about Callaway. The incidents had allegedly started when he was with the team, but we did not know if the organization knew about his behavior.
Tuesday’s story puts that question to rest. According to the report, not only did people inside Cleveland’s organization know about the behavior, but it was also reported to the league office, and nothing was done about it.
This calls into question the role that Cleveland’s major management figures had in covering up Callaway’s behavior.
Cleveland has been lucky that, over the past decade or so, they have had one of the best management trios in baseball in manager Terry Francona, general manager Mike Chernoff and president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti. Francona has managed the team since 2013, while Chernoff and Antonetti have served in their positions since 2015 but have been with the team for much longer than that.
These three have been able to keep Cleveland performing at a high level and consistently making the playoffs despite the frugal spending of the team’s owners. From a baseball perspective, they are great at what they do, and as a fan, I am grateful they have kept the team competitive despite being financially restricted.However, with all that being said, if any of them knew about Callaway’s behavior and did nothing, they should be fired immediately.
Covering up things like sexual harassment is what contributes to the systemic culture of abuse in sports, and anyone who has helped to cover it up has no place in the industry.
There have been countless examples in sports similar to what is happening with Cleveland, but the two who most readily come to mind are Joe Paterno and Jim Tressel. Paterno was fired after it became clear he covered up Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of children, and Tressel resigned due to his cover up of benefit violations committed by Ohio State players.
They are two of the greatest college football coaches of all time, and their cases prove no matter how good you are at your job, there have to be consequences for covering up the truth.
Francona denied the allegations in a press conference Tuesday, and Antonetti previously said the team had no knowledge of Callaway’s behavior prior to the original report being released in February.
Unfortunately, it is increasingly hard to believe that’s the case. As Tuesday’s report suggests, it would have been virtually impossible for Cleveland’s front office not to know about what Callaway was doing. If they knew, and did nothing, they deserve to be fired as soon as possible.
The bottom line is that every single person in Cleveland’s organization who knew about Callaway’s behavior and did nothing should be fired. If that hurts the team on the field, then so be it, but there must be consequences, and the team must show that covering up the truth will not be tolerated.

Setting Up Your Terminal
We’ll be working at the ommand line a lot. Let’s make sure your tools are going to serve you well.
Windows Command Shells
If you’re using Windows, you may want to install a better command line terminal. One that works quite well and has lots of good features, including support for multiple tabs of terminals, and terminals of different types (cmd, PowerShell, git bash, Windows Subsystem for Linux), shortcut keys, and more, is Cmder. It comes as a zip file that you can unzip to your home directory or desktop and run from there.
Once you install it, you may want to go through the settings and configure things. A few settings I modified:
- Bumped up the font size and selected my favorite console font (Fira Code) from General > Fonts settings area
- Selected Show status bar in the Features > Status bar settings area
- Went through the color schemes in Features > Colors and chose my favorite (< Tomorrow Night Bright >)
- Turned on Start selection with Shift+Arrow in the Keys & Macro > Mark/Copy area
In addition, in a PowerShell tab, run the following:
Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -RequiredVersion 1.2 -Scope CurrentUser -Force -SkipPublisherCheck
Terminal Options for macOS
The Mac terminal is pretty good. However, if you’re looking for something better, I’ve found iTerm2 for macOS to offer a number of useful features as well.
Terminal Options for Linux
On most Linux distributions with a graphical user interface, the baseline terminal will be fine. However, if you want to be able to setup single-window multi-terminal layouts and re-order terminal tabs, etc., take a look at Gnome Terminator.
