‘Maybe Cups Are Meant For Certain Clubs’
by Mazola MolefeMamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Manqoba Mnqgithi has suggested that the aligning of the domestic and continental calendar this season could be the turning point to the club ending a four-year trophy drought in local cup competitions.
While the Brazilians have been crowned Absa Premiership champions three more times since 2015, the MTN8, Telkom Knockout and Nedbank Cup has eluded them.
The club wants to change that.
Read: Ntseki Spells Out Bafana Identity
“I can’t point a finger (as to why) because I always believe in every season the team we have has got the capacity to win all four (trophies),” said Mnqgithi ahead of Sundowns facing Golden Arrows in the semi-finals of the Telkom Knockout on Saturday.
Recently, the continent’s governing body CAF made changes to its fixture schedule by switching it to kick off in August and end in May.
Mnqgithi said it was a plus for Sundowns.
“We have had bad schedules in the past with the Champions League overlapping and not giving the team a chance to have pre-season. This time we have a better programme in terms of the team getting a chance to rest, like others. But the congestion is a little bit tough for us at times. Even now in December, everyone will be enjoying Christmas and we will be in Algeria on Christmas Day. But it does not mean we should not win these other cups. We are just unfortunate,” the coach said.
He joked that their misfortune was also to the benefit of other teams, who normally would not be considered title challengers and therefore make domestic cups a priority.
“At times in football you think that maybe cups are meant for certain clubs because God is trying to balance the equation. There are teams that do well in cup competitions, but you will never see them in the league. At Sundowns we always go for everything we can get – it would be nice in one season to get to a point where we can win all cups and the league. But at times we must not be too greedy,” added Mnqgithi.

iSCAN is a Python software running with a GUI that is used to analyse the images and sequences collected with an interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscope. It can be used to calculate the contrast of the objects imaged and track particles diffusing in the image.
Presentation
iSCAN is a complete Python 3 software - no terminal lines required - used to analyse images collected in interferometric scattering (iSCAT) microscopy. The graphic user interface (GUI) of iSCAN is powered by PyQt5.
The software has two main functions:
- Measure the intensity of the signals found in the image and calculate the contrast of the signal.
- Track particles diffusing in the image and calculate their diffusitivity.
The different menus found in iSCAN also allows the user to correct the image or run some statistical measurements on the data collected.
Installation
The documentation on how to install and launch the software can be found on the related GitHub page.

Theme
Our main theme is comic book. We want the website to have a fun vibe and so, we will be using colors that are vibrant and bright.
We also want our page to have relevant images in the boxes and have the text show up when the user hovers (or touch for mobile) over any of the boxes.
We think that we can use animations that would show the common phrases thrown out in comics like "wham!" or "Kaboom."

This vibrant city, in its stunning setting, has an enormous range of marinas and moorings available. Seattle claims the highest number of boats per capita in the US, so finding marinas, yacht clubs and chandlers is an easy task, even on many of the smaller islands. Based as it is, on a series of islands, the water is an integral part of this city. It is also a convenient place from which to explore the amazing temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula or the Mount St Helen's volcano.
Position 47° 36.8'N,122° 21.5'W.
Yachts should be aware that Washington State law calls for a pilot aboard ALL non-US or Canadian yachts. An "exemption" from the Washington State Pilots Commission is available at the cost of $300 for 90 days, or $500 for a year. It appears that this ruling has been enforced haphazardly in the past but in 2007 one case was reported where a visiting yacht had to pay the waiver fee.
Shilshole Bay Marina is in Seattle's north end, and offers all the amenities a boater requires.
Fishermen's Terminal is close to Ballard , with easy access to downtown and the I-5. It is the traditional homeport for commercial fishing vessels, and offers short-term and monthly moorage but in an industrial setting.
In the heart of the central waterfront is Bell Harbor Marina at Pier 66 offering daily, monthly and commuter moorage rates, all within minutes of the Pike Place Market and the downtown retail core.
Harbor Island Marina, located south of downtown on the industrial Duwamish Waterway, provides a convenient place to tie up.

Farmer Green has a man who helps him plough, feed the cows and horses, and with all the work on the farm. His name is Frank, but Jehosophat, Marmaduke, and Hepzebiah call him “the Toyman.”
Winter nights around the fire he makes wonderful toys for them.
His knife is like a fairy’s wand. With it he whittles boats for Jehosophat, kites for Marmaduke, and dolls for Hepzebiah. He paints them pretty colours too. So I think they gave him the right sort of nickname when they called him “the Toyman.”
He hasn’t many clothes and no house of his own and no relatives of any sort. He isn’t exactly a handsome man. But the three happy children love the Toyman very much.
Yesterday he sat by the edge of the pond. On one side sat Jehosophat, Marmaduke, and big Rover. On the other side sat Hepzebiah, Brownie, and little yellow Wienerwurst.
They were all looking down at the water of the pond. It was very clear.
“Keep still, Wienerwurst,” said the Toyman, “or you will scare the fishes.”
They were swimming through the waters. Near the banks were little baby fishes, hundreds of them, called minnows. They had a nickname too, “minnies.” Out farther, once in a while, the children saw a fish shining like gold. It was a sunfish or “sunny” as they sometimes called it. And the Toyman told them all about these fishes and the perch, too, and the long pickerel and the wicked carp, who hunts the other fish and kills them.
Then all at once the Toyman put his hands in his pockets. Mother Green says his pockets are like ten-cent stores.
The three children watched him closely. First came a piece of wood with a fishline wound around it.
Then with his knife he cut three poles and near the top of each a little notch. The fishlines were tied around the poles. At the other end he put little curved fish-hooks, and about two feet above them little pieces of lead, called “sinkers.” The sinkers were to keep the hooks near the bottom of the pond where the fish stay most of the time.
Then from his pockets the Toyman took three pretty things which he had made the night before. They were whittled of wood and shaped like lemons with sharper points. The red and blue one was tied on Jehosophat’s line, the red and yellow one on Marmaduke’s, and the blue and yellow on little Hepzebiah’s.
“What are those pretty things?” asked Marmaduke.
“Floaters,” the Toyman answered. “Watch and you will see what we do with them.”
“Now you keep still, you Wienerwurst, or we will put you back in the kennel,” called the Toyman to the little yellow dog, who felt very frisky and wanted to bark all the time.
By the feet of the Toyman was a tin can. He put in his hand and pulled out a worm. This was put on Jehosophat’s hook, another on Marmaduke’s, and another on Hepzebiah’s.
Then the Toyman threw the three hooks in the water. The two boys held their poles tight but the Toyman had to help little Hepzebiah hold her pole, for her hands were too small.
“Now quiet, everybody!” said the Toyman once more and they all sat watching the red and blue, the yellow and blue, and the red and yellow floaters out on the water.
“When the floater goes under, you will know that a fish is biting at the worm on the hook.”
The Toyman had no sooner said this than he called out loud:
“Watch ‘er!”
The red and yellow floater was pulled way under the water. The string on Marmaduke’s pole tightened and the pole bent.
Three times the floater went under the water.
Then Marmaduke threw his pole back quickly and the hook came out of the water. On it something wriggled. The thing fell plop into Hepzebiah’s lap. She screamed while it flopped there. It was a little bigger than the Toyman’s hand and round and flat and shiny red and gold. No, it was not a goldfish. It was a sunfish.
After the Toyman had taken the sunfish from the hook and put another worm on it, he threw the line back into the water.
Then all the three children and the two dogs sat watching the little rings in the water around the floaters. Sometimes farther out they saw larger rings, and a fish feeling pretty happy, because of the cool September weather, would jump out of the water and turn a somersault through the air.
Then all of a sudden the blue and yellow floater went under and little Hepzebiah caught a sunfish, too.
Jehosophat felt disappointed because he was the oldest and hadn’t caught any fish at all. But the afternoon was not gone when he felt a big tug at his line. It took him a long time to pull that fish in. When the hook came out of the water a long wriggly thing was on it.
“Oo, oo, it’s a snake,” screamed little Hepzebiah.
“No, it’s only an eel,” said the Toyman, “he won’t hurt you.”
But he had to take it off Jehosophat’s hook himself, the eel was so slippery and wriggled so. Before the sun went down, the children had each caught two fish. There were three sunfish, two perch, and the wriggly eel.
The Toyman cleaned them all. And Mother fried them with butter and flour in a pan. It was a good supper they had that night, for they had caught it themselves. When supper was over three little heads were nodding and soon the three happy children were taking a little sail way on into Dreamland. That is a beautiful place where you would like to go too. So you had better follow them quickly. Perhaps you can catch up with them. Good-night.

‘Difficult’: Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Crystal Palace v Liverpool FC
Former Liverpool FC defender Mark Lawrenson is backing the Reds to secure a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon
by The Sport Review staffMark Lawrenson is backing Liverpool FC to edge past Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds are sitting eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a 3-1 victory over defending champions Manchester City last time out.
Liverpool FC have a nearly flawless record in the Premier League this season after recording 11 victories and one draw in their opening 12 top-flight fixtures.
Only Manchester United have managed to deny Liverpool FC three points after Adam Lallana scored a late goal to rescue a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last month.
Liverpool FC will taken on a Crystal Palace side that suffered a 2-0 loss to Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge in their last Premier League fixture before the international break.
Roy Hodgson’s side have failed to win their last four top-fight games, dropping them down to 15th place in the Premier League table.
Former Liverpool FC defender Lawrenson is backing the Reds to secure a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
“This game sees Crystal Palace Roy Hodgson boss up against his former club, and it is the sort of test he relishes,” Lawrenson told BBC Sport.
“Hodgson’s sides are very good at soaking up pressure and hitting teams on the break, but my worry for them here is that they do not have enough firepower to hurt Liverpool.
“I am sure Hodgson will set up his side to make things very difficult for the Reds, and it might be a tighter game than some people might think – but I just do not see Palace holding out.”
Liverpool FC finished in second place in the Premier League table last season to narrowly miss out on the top-flight crown.
The Reds only lost one game in the Premier League last term – a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City.


[Erowid Note: 175 mgs of zolpidem is considered an extremely high dose]
I love to trip. When it comes to drugs, I think there are only one or two substances that I have not tried. My drug of choice above all else, however, is oddly enough simply Ambien. I first heard of this drug from a dear friend of mine who told me that it was like pot and whiskey combined into a little pill. Being the wonderful actor/doctor shopper that I am, I was able to obtain a prescription within about two days. I took my first dose thinking that it would knock me out and that I would surely need to build a tolerance to this new substance in order to stay awake and enjoy the high. I have never been so wrong.
I soon found myself in my bed, and as I lay there on my striped sheets I began to notice a ripple, which lead to a current, which lead to a stream of cotton ending in a placid waterfall at the foot of my bed. For the moment I was swimming there in my own blankets, and that was when I knew I had struck gold. Ambien was all that I would ever need from then on.
For two years after that experience I took Ambien religiously. I would get high, low, drunk... whatever I felt like doing and then I would pop my beloved pill as though I was merely saving it for dessert. Eventually I found myself back under the roof of my parents and I still took my pill nightly, however now I was supposed to be off of it, yet I still had few secret refills hidden away. One day my folks left town and I filled one of them in order to help me pass the long day. I took the first pill at 7pm that night, and from then on I took another 13 pills of the Ambien CR 12.5 mg. I don't remember going to the hospital, or the food I ate on the way, or my brother picking me up and carrying me to his Scoutmaster's house.
All I remember is that my parents came home all the way from Florida, I was high as a kite, and my mom had tried to flush the remaining pills I had left down the toilet to no avail. Instead of letting those trip tablets dissolve in the toilet, however, I reached my hand in there and bravely swallowed all that I could in one foul moment. That was when I knew I was an addict. The confinement, the hospital, and the trip that lasted three days are a mere blur at this point.
I remember being treated at a psychiatric hospital for about five days and I remember not wanting to leave and have to face my parents. However, I do remember that it was an awesome experience, and given the chance to do it again. I can't honestly say that I wouldn't. It was a train wreck... that is most definite. but a learning experience? You bet ya! Ambien, although I have not done it in months, is still my drug of choice above all others.

My name is Anirudh, and I am currently in the third year of my undergraduate degree in computer science. I'm always looking forward to learn new technologies and expand my knowledge, and find creative ways to apply them. I have a wide range of interests, including machine learning, NLP, web development and systems programming
The project we our working on deals with detecting Multisource Plagiarism in programs. The aim is to perform a comparision at the function level. We use transformer networks to extract features and compare the similarity of two functions, and compare the matching functions in programs to detect plagiarism.


What is Natural Language Processing?
Natural language processing, commonly referred to as NLP, is a broad, multidisciplinary, subarea of artificial intelligence which deals automating the process of communicating via natural languages. It attempts to enable machines to naturally converse with others using natural languages.
Why is it difficult?
Interdisciplinary (Reference)
To understand NLP and implement it well, one must be able to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, namely math, computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, and philosophy.
Ambiguity (Reference)
Ambiguity is an inherent part of natural language that, unfortunately, makes NLP much more difficult.
"I saw a man on a hill with a telescope."
How would a computer interpret ambiguous sentences?
Sarcasm (Reference)
Understanding a sarcastic statement requires context, however machines usually are not provided with any context, making the problem of sarcasm detection considerably difficult. This problem can be observed in human interpretation as well, when no context is given.
Multilingual support (Reference)
If you thought natural language processing was hard enough for one language, try to do it in multiple languages.
Question generation (Reference)
Consider a machine is given a sentence,
"A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices."
How would a machine go about asking questions related to the sentence, without being explicitly programmed to do so? Would it ask "How many edges does a triangle have"? Or maybe it would ask "What is a polygon with three edges and three vertices"?
What is it used for?
Probably the most popular use of NLP is automating tasks concerning natural language. Some of those tasks being word suggestion, spell checking, grammar checking, translating, conversing, data extraction, image captioning, and text summarization.
Word suggestion (Reference)
Leveraging NLP, people may be able to type better with word sequence suggestions.
Translation (Reference)
There is so much information available to everyone these days, however without translation, much of that information becomes inaccessible. NLP allows translation software to be much more accurate than ever.
Conversational AI/Chatbots (Reference)
Conversational AI can provide a better experience for clients. Instead of waiting a long time for someone on the other end to pick up, they can talk to a machine who is on duty 24/7. Other applications of chatbots include therapy, group chat, and voice user interfaces.
Data extraction from unstructured text (Reference)
In situations involving documents or records written in natural language, it is often difficult to extract meaning from them in a timely manner. NLP may be significantly helpful by quickly providing meaningful information from such documents, especially in the healthcare industry in which time can play a huge factor in life or death situations.
Image captioning (Reference)
NLP can generate text to explain what is happening in images. Considering that it can be used to generate text for images, I would say it most certainly is possible for explaining videos as well, using previous frames as context for the next frame to be captioned. This can be incredibly useful for those with hearing or visual impairment, especially for situational awareness when driving a car, for example.
Text summarization (Reference)
Automated text summarization will instantly make it easier for people to understand complex or lengthy documents. It can be very helpful in the mass media industry for providing quick summaries explaining content, such as news or podcasts.
Quiz making (Reference)
NLP could potentially be great for the education industry, allowing students or educators to generate quizzes. These quizzes could be generated using all sorts of different sources, such as informational websites, news articles, or textbook pages.
How does it work?
Rule-based NLP
Rule-based NLP is a classical approach which simply maps messages with responses. Without the use of statistics, this approach can be extremely limiting, as each and every rule must be manually entered.
Statistical NLP
Statistical NLP uses machine learning to form a probability distribution of the most probable responses given a message and its context (previous messages), then selects the response with the highest probability.

Subject: Re: [gecode-users] Naive CCP ask in Gecode
Hello all,
I am trying to use Gecode for make some ccp processes.
something like:
when a = 1 do tell b = 1
|| when b = 1 do tell c = 1
|| tell a = 1
|| when b = 1 and c = 1 do tell answer = true
with a,b,c all in the same intvararray (in the same space),
how can i make that?
thanks
2008/3/10, Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist <zayenz at gmail.com>:
Hi,
If you are using a Gecode Space in a concurrent setting, there are a
couple of things that you must observe.
First of all, a Space is not reentrant. Thus you must serialize all
accesses to the Space object.
Secondly, if you want to manipulate two different Spaces concurrently,
you must make sure that they do not share any data structures. This is
done by passing false as the share argument when cloning a Space.
Cheers,
Mikael

Every Friday, our local NPR station has a segment called Michiana Chronicles which features essays by area writers. I don’t catch it often, but I happened to be driving today when it came on. It’s titled Mug Storiesand it inspired this post.
I definitely have my own preferred mugs. I usually look for the wide-mouthed blue mug that we got in the Korean equivalent of a dollar store. I bought it because I needed something for coffee in my first teaching position. We were 24, transplanted to the center of Seoul and learning how to build a life together. That was the same year I bought my wife the wide, hand-thrown mug with a violet painted on it from 인사동.
Our overseas mugs aren’t limited to Korean origin. We also have a nice heavy vessel from Austria adorned with Schladminger that my wife obtained while studying overseas during college. We’ve both been to Austria, though separately. I’d be okay going back some day with her.
(This photo is from Bavaria in Germany, but Austria is just past those mountains, so I’m going to count it.)

We had a smaller mug from Thailand from our trip during Christmas in 2010. It was brown with a white glaze ring around the top and a mosaic-like pattern on the white. It was delicate and made the 7,000 mile trip home fine only to have the handle broken in our dishwasher one afternoon.

Some of our mugs come out more frequently in particular seasons. We were gifted two mugs from a local potter as wedding gifts. We got to go to meet Peter the Potter in his workshop and pick out two hand-thrown pieces. One still survives today, nearly 10 years later (the other developed a hairline crack and it started leaking). We were married in the spring but the burnt orange and earth colors of the glaze make me reach for it more in the fall as we hunker down for the cold winters.
Other mugs don’t come out enough. It’s a reminder that we need to have people in the house…enough to use the mugs that don’t get used regularly. They’re just as good as others, but for one reason or another, they’re relegated to guests only. We ended up hosting Easter dinner this year. Family and friends came over for a meal and all of our mugs were in the dishwasher that night.

Isolation of a rel-related human cDNA that potentially encodes the 65-kD subunit of NF-kappa B[ published erratum appears in Science 1991 Oct 4; 254 (5028): 11] A DNA probe that spanned a domain conserved among the proto-oncogene c-rel, the Drosophila morphogen dorsal, and the p50 DNA binding subunit of NF-kappa B was generated from Jurkat T cell complementary DNA with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and degenerate oligonucleotides.
Abstract
This probe was used to identify a rel-related complementary DNA that hybridized to a 2.6-kilobase messenger RNA present in human T and B lymphocytes. In vitro transcription and translation of the complementary DNA resulted in the synthesis of a protein with an apparent molecular size of 65 kilodaltons (kD). The translated protein showed weak DNA binding with a specificity for the kappa B binding motif. This protein-DNA complex comigrated with the complex obtained with the purified human p65 NF-kappa B subunit and binding was inhibited by I kappa B-alpha and -beta proteins. In addition, the 65-kD protein associated with the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B and the kappa B probe to form a complex with the same electrophoretic mobility as the NF-kappa B-DNA complex. Therefore the rel-related 65-kD protein may represent the p65 subunit of the active NF-kappa B transcription factor complex.


Hello out there and welcome to the latest starbeam.one monthly update. As you know, I usually aim to have these out on the first Tuesday of every month. While I was able to attend to the video recording for Stand-up & Shine yesterday, I wasn’t able to get to everything else, so here we are. 🥳

pymatgen.analysis.substrate_analyzer module¶
-
class
SubstrateAnalyzer
(zslgen=<pymatgen.analysis.substrate_analyzer.ZSLGenerator object>, film_max_miller=1, substrate_max_miller=1)[source]¶ Bases:
object
This class applies a set of search criteria to identify suitable substrates for film growth. It first uses a topoplogical search by Zur and McGill to identify matching super-lattices on various faces of the two materials. Additional criteria can then be used to identify the most suitable substrate. Currently, the only additional criteria is the elastic strain energy of the super-lattices
Initializes the substrate analyzer :param zslgen: Defaults to a ZSLGenerator with standard
tolerances, but can be fed one with custom tolerancesParameters: - film_max_miller (int) – maximum miller index to generate for film surfaces
- substrate_max_miller (int) – maximum miller index to generate for substrate surfaces
-
calculate
(film, substrate, elasticity_tensor=None, film_millers=None, substrate_millers=None, ground_state_energy=0, lowest=False)[source]¶ Finds all topological matches for the substrate and calculates elastic strain energy and total energy for the film if elasticity tensor and ground state energy are provided:
Parameters: - film (Structure) – conventional standard structure for the film
- substrate (Structure) – conventional standard structure for the substrate
- elasticity_tensor (ElasticTensor) – elasticity tensor for the film in the IEEE orientation
- film_millers (array) – film facets to consider in search as defined by miller indicies
- substrate_millers (array) – substrate facets to consider in search as defined by miller indicies
- ground_state_energy (float) – ground state energy for the film
- lowest (bool) – only consider lowest matching area for each surface
-
calculate_3D_elastic_energy
(film, match, elasticity_tensor=None, include_strain=False)[source]¶ Calculates the multi-plane elastic energy. Returns 999 if no elastic tensor was given on init
Parameters: - film (Structure) – conventional standard structure for the film
- match (dictionary) – match dictionary from substrate analyzer
- elasticity_tensor (ElasticTensor) – elasticity tensor for the film
- include_strain (bool) – include strain in the output or not; changes return from just the energy to a tuple with the energy and strain in voigt notation
-
generate_surface_vectors
(film_millers, substrate_millers)[source]¶ Generates the film/substrate slab combinations for a set of given miller indicies
Parameters: - film_millers (array) – all miller indices to generate slabs for film
- substrate_millers (array) – all miller indicies to generate slabs for substrate

class
ZSLGenerator
(max_area_ratio_tol=0.09, max_area=400, max_length_tol=0.03, max_angle_tol=0.01)[source]¶ Bases:
object
This class generate matching interface super lattices based on the methodology of lattice vector matching for heterostructural interfaces proposed by Zur and McGill: Journal of Applied Physics 55 (1984), 378 ; doi: 10.1063/1.333084
The process of generating all possible matching super lattices is:
1.) Reduce the surface lattice vectors and calculate area for the surfaces 2.) Generate all super lattice transformations within a maximum allowed area
limit that give nearly equal area super-lattices for the two surfaces - generate_sl_transformation_sets- 3.) For each superlattice set:
1.) Reduce super lattice vectors 2.) Check length and angle between film and substrate super lattice
vectors to determine if the super lattices are the nearly same and therefore coincident - get_equiv_transformations- Intialize a Zur Super Lattice Generator for a specific film and
- substrate
Parameters: - max_area_ratio_tol (float) – Max tolerance on ratio of super-lattices to consider equal
- max_area (float) – max super lattice area to generate in search
- max_length_tol – maximum length tolerance in checking if two vectors are of nearly the same length
- max_angle_tol – maximum angle tolerance in checking of two sets of vectors have nearly the same angle between them

Terrorists neutralised in Bandipora encounter were related to LeT
Incriminating materials including #goods bearing #Pakistani #marks recovered. Involved in #terrorcrimes.
by ANITwo terrorists who were neutralised in an encounter with security forces in Bandipora were related to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
"There has been no collateral damage in this operation. Two terrorists were neutralised and they are related to Lashkar-e-Taiba. One terrorist has been identified as Abu Tala who was a Pakistani. The other terrorist is yet to be identified," IGP Kashmir SP Pani said.
Earlier, Kashmir Zone Police in a tweet had said, "#Bandipora #encounter update: One of the killed #terrorist identified as #Pakistani namely Talha. Was operating as commander of #proscribed terror outfit #LeT. Incriminating materials including #goods bearing #Pakistani #marks recovered. Involved in #terrorcrimes.


Joose.Manual.Unsweetened - Joose code, de-sugared.
Lets imagine we have two simple classes in Joose:
Class('Person', {
has : {
firstName : { is : 'rw', required : true },
lastName : { is : 'rw', required : true }
},
methods : {
eat : function () {
}
}
})
Class('Person.Tidy', {
isa : Person,
has : {
teethBrush : {
is : 'rw',
required : true
}
},
before : {
eat : function () {
this.washHands()
}
},
after : {
eat : function () {
this.brushTeeths()
}
},
methods : {
washHands : function () {
...
},
brushTeeths : function () {
...
}
}
})
Now the same classes are rewritten in "raw" javascript (the functionality is strictly the same).
if (typeof Person != 'undefined') throw "Namespace 'Person' is already allocated"
Person = function (firstName, lastName) {
if (!firstName) throw "Required attribute 'firstName' was not provided to constructor"
if (!lastName) throw "Required attribute 'lastName' was not provided to constructor"
this.firstName = firstName
this.lastName = lastName
}
Person.prototype = {
getFirstName : function () {
return this.firstName
},
setFirstName : function (firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName
return this
},
getLastName : function () {
return this.lastName
},
setLastName : function (lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName
return this
},
eat : function () {
...
}
}
//eof Person
(function(){
if (typeof Person == 'undefined') throw "Parent class 'Person' is not defined"
if (typeof Person.Tidy != 'undefined') throw "Namespace 'Person.Tidy' is already allocated"
//establishing inheritance chain
var temp = function () {}
temp.prototype = Person.prototype
Person.Tidy = function (firstName, lastName, teethBrush) {
Person.call(this, firstName, lastName)
if (!teethBrush) throw "Required attribute 'teethBrush' was not provided to constructor"
this.teethBrush = teethBrush
}
var proto = Person.Tidy.prototype = new temp()
proto.setTeethBrush = function (teethBrush) {
this.teethBrush = teethBrush
return this
}
proto.washHands = function () {
...
}
proto.brushTeeths = function () {
...
}
proto.eat = function () {
this.washHands()
var res = Person.eat.apply(this, arguments)
this.brushTeeths()
return res
}
})()
Wow, that was a mouthful! One thing to note is that in "raw" JavaScript the inheritance hierarchy is hard-coded -
if you'll change the superclass of Person.Tidy
you'll have to manually scan through the code and replace all call to Person
.
Of course, there are several JavaScript frameworks that do some of what Joose does, like ExtJS, Dojo, Prototype, and so on. But none of them put together all of Joose's features along with a layer of declarative sugar, nor are these other modules designed for extensibility in the same way as Joose. With Joose, it's easy to write a JooseX module to replace or extend a piece of built-in functionality.
Joose is a complete OO package in and of itself, and is part of a rich ecosystem of extensions. It also has an enthusiastic community of users, and is being actively maintained and developed.

ArduDAQmx
A simple Arduino-esque wrapper for the National Instruments NI-DAQmx C/C++ API
|
ArduDAQmx
is a portable and simple Arduino-esque C wrapper for for the National Instruments NI-DAQmx ANSI C API.
National Instruments provides a powerful and fully functional C developer API for their DAQ hardware called DAQmx. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of easily accessible documentation or examples to get people up and running with it. Furthermore, the library is not beginner friendly with a large amount of configuration necessary before users record thir first data sample.
ArduDAQmx tries to bridge this gap by providing a simple interface/wrapper that makes using NI-DAQmx easier by (mostly) emulating the function calls a programmer would make when using an Arduino while also exposing additional features such as timing and triggering support.
Documentation for the ArduDAQmx wrapper is available here.
ArduDAQmx is distributed under the MIT license.

If you're running a Quake Champions tournament, whether on Battlefy or just by yourself, every minute counts. Using this tool helps you quickly to determine player seeds based on their Elo rating.
The idea got started by the Finnish QC community and their first tournament. To speed up the seeding process and avoiding manual work, such as checking the rating of each checked-in player one by one, we wanted to create a small app to do that.
How the app works is that it takes in either a Battlefy tournament URL or ID (that is also visible in the URL) or manually added player names.
In the case of Battlefy URL or ID, the app fetches the tournament information and all the registered players and for each player, it uses the Stats site to get the player ratings. Then it sorts the players from the highest Elo to the lowest in a numerical order, creating our seeds. The app will display both registered and checked-in players in the same view and a warning will be shown if the check-in has started but not finished, prompting that the results are not final and shouldn't be used.
For manual input the app just takes a list of entered names, which have to be case sensitive due to the nature of how the Stats site and QC works, and directly fetches the ratings for each player and does the numerical seeding. This format displays less data in the seeding view.
We keep on improving this tool and adding more features, but if you find any bugs or have other suggestions, please report them at our GitLab page. You can also send a tweet to the main developer.

Here are the classes, structs, unions and interfaces with brief descriptions:
| <CrystalAchievementDelegate> | |
| CrystalAchievements | The Crystal interface to the Crystal direct achievement access API |
| <CrystalLeaderboardDelegate> | |
| CrystalLeaderboards | The Crystal interface to the Crystal direct leaderboard access API. The categoriesToGet property must be consistent throughout the lifetime of this class, i.e. the same data must be retrieved for each of the leaderboards. This allows the Crystal SDK to cache the data more consistently and eases the use of the APIs. The categoriesToGet property must also be set before calling downloadLeaderboardDataForID: |
| CrystalPlayer | The interface to the Crystal gifting functionality and player info This class updates automatically from the server after the user calls startUpdating. The class provides access to various pieces of information about the user and can be used to improve the UI of the game and integrate more completely with the Crystal SDK. For more details on the information provided see the properties available |
| <CrystalPlayerDelegate> | Delegate protocol for the CrystalPlayer class |
| CrystalSession | The interface to all of the Crystal SDK functionality. Though all of the methods are implemented as class methods for ease of use the client must call initWithAppID: to initiate the session as soon as is convenient |
| <CrystalSessionDelegate> | Session delegate protocol to be implemented by one of your game classes. For a standard Objective C application this would most likely be the class that implements UIApplicationDelegate. Though the methods are optional it is recommended to implement all of them |
| CrystalUnityBasic | The interface to all of the Crystal SDK functionality |
| CrystalVirtualGoods | |
| <CrystalVirtualGoodsDelegate> | Delegate protocol for the CrystalVirtualGoods class |
| Procurios::Public::JSON | This class encodes and decodes JSON strings. Spec. details, see http://www.json.org/ |

Links
General
Links are components used to aid in user navigation. They allow users to jump between different pages, sections of
the same page, outside URLs, and access files and emails. When creating links, make link text short and descriptive
to the action of the link.
Purpose
A means of navigation within a page.
Examples
In Text
This is a link in the middle of a paragraph
This is a link in the middle of a span
.ias-link-margin
Short blurb…More
Appearance
Link Specifics
Implementation
- Keep link text short, concise, and descriptive to the action or location the link will take you.
- If a longer description is necessary, include that description as a title attribute within the link.
Common Patterns
- Links are generally styled in a different color than content text and users use this characteristic to
find them quickly.
- Links are inline elements by default, nest links with or within a block element to create the block usage.
Nesting
Links themselves are elements that are most often nested within other elements. If it would make sense to have a
element work as a link, a link can likely be nested.

3-Daka 3D, stereoscopyHumanity is never satisfied. First, there were crude sketches on cave walls, then simple paints made from plants, then the more sophisticated oil paints, then photographs, then color photographs, then moving photographs, then moving color photographs...We've always been obsessed with capturing realism, but we continue to fall short of the final frontier of reproduction — lifelike three-dimensional images. It isn't for lack of trying. In terms of man-hours and creative ergs expended, the effort to produce 3-D imagery is up there with the putting a man on the moon and curing cancer. Around 300 A.D., Euclid discovered that it takes two eyes to see in three dimensions. However, the ancient Greeks were diverted by a theory that the eyes projected invisible rays that allows humans to perceive depth, a premise not unlike radar, and the "emissions" theory stood for several centuries. The search for these invisible rays distracted scientists from the fact that stereo vision is a much simpler concept. Despite this essential misconception, Euclid unraveled enough of the puzzle that an artist named Giovanni Battista della Porta was able to sketch the first stereoscopic image at the beginning of the 17th century. Sir Charles Wheatstone reinvented the wheel in 1832, by creating the first stereoscopic images. A stereoscopic image is a pair of drawings or photographs that are slightly different from each other, as if each is seen at a slightly different angle. The process mimics the slight displacement of an image as seen from the right and left eyes. Wheatstone designed a stereoscope that would remain largely unchanged for decades, a binocular-style viewer that forces the eyes to combine the two images into a single, "stereo" image that creates an illusion of depth. A simple stereo viewer can easily be made out of construction paper, or you can create the effect with more difficulty by reverse-crossing your eyes — i.e., letting your field of vision stretch past the image as if you were looking at something behind the images so that the twin pictures become a single, stereo image. Wheatstone's initial efforts were drawings of simple cubes and cones. With the popularization of photography just a few years later, however, he adapted his technique for use in creating and viewing stereoscopic pictures, by taking a photograph of a scene from two slightly different angles and using the stereoscope to view the result. Wheatstone's apparatus was needlessly large and elaborate, and subsequent stereo viewers became smaller and less expensive, leading to a worldwide fascination with the art. Thousands of stereo pictures were produced, ranging from historic landmarks in foreign lands to personal portraits. Some of the 20th century's greatest artists learned to work with the stereoscope format, most famously Salvador Dali, who produced works that bent both mind and eye. Stereoscopy arguable reached its technological peak in 1939, the debut of the Viewmaster, a cheap, handheld stereo slide viewer that offered seven images at a time, viewed in sequence using a lever on the side of the device. Later models offered innovations such as soundtracks, electric backlighting and motorized slide switching, but the basic stereoscopic technology had plateaued. The major limitation was the solitary nature of the novelty. Stereoscopy was a serial pleasure at best; only one person could view an image at a time. But the fastest-growing medium of the day provided a community experience — motion pictures. A few mechanical viewers provided the stereoscopic experience, but it was prohibitively expensive to make a machine to deliver more than a couple of seconds of footage with a poor frame rate to boot. The laws of supply and demand limited these machines mostly to peep shows and World's Fair exhibitions. Other forms of 3-D effect were extremely limited in one way or another. Mirrors and lenses could be used to create the optical illusion of a 3-D object, but the structural concerns limited this approach to the merest of novelties, since the original item had to be nearby in order for it to work. Other optical illusions create the illusion of depth with specific kinds of motion, geometric patterns or contrasting colors, but these aren't suitable for general purpose reproduction. A process called lenticular printing used a plastic filter to redirect light and create an illusion of depth in a still picture, but these were both expensive to print and limited in the amount of depth they offered. (The process, most often seen on postcards, could also be used to present extremely crude animations.) The real breakthrough in 3-D imagery had already been invented, it just hadn't caught on it. The inventor of 3-D glasses was a man named Joseph D'Almeida, who in the 1850s developed the concept of "anaglyph" stereo, in which dual images tinted red and green were projected on a screen. Viewers wore glasses that had one red lens and one green lens, which filtered the image to present a passable illusion of depth. An improved version of the anaglyph process used polarized lenses that eliminated the red-green tinting. The technique was used from the earliest days of motion pictures, through the 1920s, but never particularly caught the public's imagination. In the 1950s, however, the movie industry hit a painful slump after congressional investigations of Unamerican Activities derailed Hollywood's creative momentum coming out of the 1940s. The industry heavily pushed 3-D as a new innovation to bring people back to the theaters. The first 3-D movie to hit it big was 1952's Bwana Devil, sometimes incorrectly identified as the first 3-D movie made. (It may have been the first full length feature made in 3-D, but that isn't entirely clear.)  Or kinda. The '50s 3-D technology created enough depth of field to jar audience members, but not enough to create the genuine illusion that something was really flying off the screen. The red-green glasses were much more effective in comic books, however, which relied on bold simple lines rather than grayscale contours. Several popular comics were translated into 3-D versions, using the technique, a process which continues to be used occasionally today. Creatively, 3-D producers had a tendency to skimp on such nonessentials as "good writing" and "fine cinematography." Nevertheless, a few semi-classics did come out of the 3-D era, such as It Came From Outer Space, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and House of Wax. Artistically, one of the better examples of the genre was The Mask, which featured surreal 3-D horror sequences interspersed with regular footage. Some of the most successful 3-D movies were standout pornos like The Stewardess, Emmanuelle: Queen of the Galaxy and Blonde Emmanuelle. Anaglyph 3-D has also been used to create headache-inducing 3-D video games, in both arcade and home formats, with mostly forgettable results. Newer versions of the technology use glasses that dispense with the red and green lenses in favor of an electronic system that alternates the view between left and right, presumably faster than the eye can see. In addition to its sometimes uninspiring results on the big screen, the anaglyph technique had several practical limitations, not least of which was a tendency to cause headaches and eyestrain when the glasses were worn for a couple hours at a time. The commonly used red-green technique had other flaws as well, including a lack of image resolution caused by the softness of a 35mm print on the big screen and aggravated by the fact that most people have some small, unpredictable degree of color blindness. Because of these drawbacks, the anaglyph method had a limited appeal. Even by the end of the '50s, audiences had largely burned out on the concept. 3-D movies continued to be made, but they became a rarity, eventually being reserved for special attractions such as the third movie in a franchise series that was otherwise running on fumes — such as Jaws 3D, Amityville 3D and Friday the 13th Part 3. The anaglyph 3-D method increasingly came to be used in shorter features, which minimized discomfort among viewers. These movies were frequently used at special attractions, such as theme parks and casinos, where no one was especially bothered by sitting through a 12-minute movie with no plot. As computer-generated special effects improved, 3-D was used to great effect in short features like Terminator 2: 3-D, in which CGI liquid metal monsters could be tailored to the 3-D process much more easily than Bwana Devil's leaping lions. IMAX theaters, with their massive curved screens and 70mm film, have today become the premier outlet for anaglyph 3-D movies. Even with the significant improvement in 3-D technology that IMAX represents, there is a practical limitation on all of the abovementioned technologies. They're not true 3-D, only simulation via stereoscopy. You can't get up out of your seat and walk around an object, viewing it from every angle. The notion of true 3-D reproduction has been around for years, but it took on a peculiar cachet with the debut of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which heavily featured the "holodeck" — a mesh of technology and supporting effects to create the ultimate 3-D virtual reality environment. The "holo" in holodeck stands for hologram, the real science of using lasers to project true three-dimensional images. The word "holodeck" entered the cultural lexicon overnight, but holograms as they exist today bear virtually no resemblance to those employed on the fictional final frontier. Modern holograms are three-dimensional images reproduced on a photographic medium. Holograms use microscopic etchings angled to trick the eye into perceiving depth where there is none. While the result of a hologram is still not "real" 3-D, the technology potentially offers a great improvement over stereoscopy, since viewers are not required to wear a special apparatus and you actually can walk around an image to view it from different angles. There are downsides to holographic printing, however, and they aren't insignificant. For one thing, holography as it currently exists can't reproduce color, casting its images strictly in rainbow hues. For another thing, holography can't be used to reproduce moving images, except for a few frames of crude motion, similar to the lenticular printing effect. There is some hope for the future, however. The fallacy of the holodeck is that light simply doesn't act the way Star Trek producers would prefer. If you force light to stand in one place and take the shape of Professor Moriarity, just for instance, it is no longer light. A holographic environment — in which you could walk around and interact with objects — is so far-fetched as to fall somewhere on the line between science fiction and science fantasy. That doesn't mean that lasers can't be used to produce 3-D effects today, however. A new generation of autostereoscopic displays — 3-D without glasses — is now being born. Most of these displays are not correctly referred to as holographic, but try telling that to the marketing department. There are different types of "holographic" 3-D monitors; some shine lasers into a pressurized gas compartment to create its 3-D effect, others use polarizing or laser-etched light filters to combine two projected images that are seen with slight differences by each eye. Some displays literally do it with mirrors. Some project an illusion of objects extending off the screen, others are like looking out through a window. Some are tabletop displays that you can view from 360 degrees. It's a start, but there isn't an industry standard yet, and display technology tends to lag far, far behind the computers to which they link. These devices are too expensive for most consumers who are not the Defense Department. Expect to spend upward of $10,000 just for the monitor, let alone the extremely high-end computers needed to produce even a simple 3-D video. You would have to be a highly motivated Trekkie indeed to mortgage your house for a holodeck that doesn't include interactive prostitutes made of hard light. If you can't wait 20 years to have your holographic horizon broadened? Well, we hear Bwana Devil pops up on AMC every now and then...
