So here's www.bestdiscgolfdiscs.com.
Well, first off, it looks way nicer. I did a "command + f" page search for "CSS", and there were 93 matches. So I'd imagine learning CSS is going to let me make my little site look much more professional. I think primarily what makes www.bestdiscgolfdiscs.com such a great site is its content, but the fact that it's so easy to navigate is what solidifies its status as an excellent website. I definitely recognize some of the HTML content, but it kind of feels like I spent three hours using Duolingo to learn French, and now I'm trying to read the original French version of a Marcel Proust book or something.


--- author_id: 001 author_name: Amanda Balter genre: Poetry usual_genre_grammared: academic writer issue: 1 title: Two Poems categories: issue1 layout: creative-post private_email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>bio: Amanda Balter is a recent graduate of Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana, where she majored in philosophy and religious studies. Outside of her schooling, she is an active member of her church and volunteers regularly. She enjoys reading and writing poetry as well as painting with her younger brother, searching for the best hot chocolate, and cross country skiing in Montana's backyard. In the future, she hopes to pursue graduate study in the liberal arts. interview_1: Academic writing. I feel the safest within the bounds of a thesis statement. interview_2: The need to express something rather than argue a point, as I would in a piece of academic writing. interview_3: I was surprised to find that the craft of poetry is equally, if not more, particular than academic writing. While there is undoubtedly freedom within the genre, the art of perfecting a line, choosing the word with the best sound, mastering the overall rhythm, etc. was both challenging and satisfying. I found the more I worked with poetry, the more my academic writing excelled. Poetry teaches the importance of the details—something I’m not sure I could have learned without exploring this genre. ---

RedCloth - Textile parser for Ruby¶ ↑

(See redcloth.org/textile/ for a Textile reference.)
RedCloth¶ ↑
RedCloth is a Ruby library for converting Textile into HTML.
Attention - Deprecating JRuby and Windows support in version 4.3¶ ↑
In order to prioritize merging a fix for the long standing vulnerability CVE-2012-6684, our new maintainer has elected to stop maintaining the precompiled versions for Windows and JRuby.
Installing¶ ↑
RedCloth can be installed via RubyGems:
gem install RedCloth
Compiling¶ ↑
If you just want to use RedCloth, you do NOT need to build/compile it. It is compiled from C sources automatically when you install the gem on the ruby platform. Precompiled binary gems are provided for JRuby and Win32 platforms prior to version 4.3.
RedCloth can be compiled with rake compile
. Ragel 6.3 or
greater is required. Again, Ragel is NOT needed to simply use RedCloth.
Supported platforms¶ ↑
By default, the rake compile task builds a native C extension (MRI 1.8 or 1.9). A pure Ruby version can also be generated, but it's super slow and Ruby 1.8-only, and doesn't support multi-byte characters.
The RedCloth::EXTENSION_LANGUAGE constant indicates in which language your copy of RedCloth is compiled.
Bugs¶ ↑
Please submit bugs as issues to this repo.
Using RedCloth¶ ↑
RedCloth is simply an extension of the String class that can handle Textile formatting. Use it like a String and output HTML with its RedCloth#to_html method.
Simple use:
text = "This is *my* text." RedCloth.new(text).to_html
Multi-line example:
doc = RedCloth.new <<EOD h2. Test document Just a simple test. EOD puts doc.to_html
What is Textile?¶ ↑
Textile is a simple formatting style for text documents, loosely based on some HTML conventions.
Sample Textile Text¶ ↑
h2. This is a title h3. This is a subhead This is a bit of paragraph. bq. This is a blockquote.
Writing Textile¶ ↑
A Textile document consists of paragraphs. Paragraphs can be specially formatted by adding a small instruction to the beginning of the paragraph.
h3. Header 3. bq. Blockquote. # Numeric list. * Bulleted list.
Quick Phrase Modifiers¶ ↑
Quick phrase modifiers are also included, to allow formatting of small portions of text within a paragraph.
_emphasis_ __italicized__ *strong* **bold** ??citation?? -deleted text- +inserted text+ ^superscript^ ~subscript~ @code@ %(classname)span% ==notextile== (leave text alone)
Links¶ ↑
To make a hypertext link, put the link text in “quotation marks” followed immediately by a colon and the URL of the link.
Optional: text in (parentheses) following the link text, but before the closing quotation mark, will become a title attribute for the link, visible as a tool tip when a cursor is above it.
Example:
"This is a link (This is a title)":http://www.textism.com
Will become:
This is a link
Images¶ ↑
To insert an image, put the URL for the image inside exclamation marks.
Optional: text that immediately follows the URL in (parentheses) will be used as the Alt text for the image. Images on the web should always have descriptive Alt text for the benefit of readers using non-graphical browsers.
Optional: place a colon followed by a URL immediately after the closing ! to make the image into a link.
Example:
!http://www.textism.com/common/textist.gif(Textist)!
Will become:

With a link:
!/common/textist.gif(Textist)!:http://textism.com
Will become:

Defining Acronyms¶ ↑
HTML allows authors to define acronyms via the tag. The definition appears as a tool tip when a cursor hovers over the acronym. A crucial aid to clear writing, this should be used at least once for each acronym in documents where they appear.
To quickly define an acronym in Textile, place the full text in (parentheses) immediately following the acronym.
Example:
ACLU(American Civil Liberties Union)
Will become:
<acronym title="American Civil Liberties Union">ACLU</acronym>
Adding Tables¶ ↑
In Textile, simple tables can be added by separating each column by a pipe.
|a|simple|table|row| |And|Another|table|row|
Styles are applied with curly braces.
table{border:1px solid black}. {background:#ddd;color:red}. |a|red|row|


{%- comment %} include.list will either be page or post depending on whether post.html or blogList.html is calling {%- endcomment -%}

Gecode: When a space fails, it can be in an arbitrarily screwed up state.  If failing the first
propagation means that one variable is actually failed, you may not use the
space any longer. I think this can easily lead to segmentation faults, can't
it, Christian?

Use IIT BHU Geo Web Portal - a GIS based Portal on your computer, phone, or tablet, to explore and find more about your Smart Campus - IIT BHU.
Here's a guide to get you started using IIT BHU Geo Web Portal.
As soon as the IIT BHU portal opens up, one can see a satellite view of the IIT BHU Campus. A road network or a route layer is also visible to the user. As soon as the user zooms in from the current view, different layers become visible alongwith corresponding labels associated with them. The layers indicate the features available within the IIT BHU Campus and are visible as per the scale visibility which has been defined for them.
Note: Grouped LayerList, Legend, Query, Directions, Around Me, About this Portal and Share tools remain fixed on the bottom menu bar of the IIT BHU web portal, whereas Measurement, Print, Bookmark and Basemap Gallery tools are available on the right side of the screen. The Scale of the map is visible on the botton left corner and Zoom IN/OUT option is available on the left side of the screen.
The Basemap Gallery tool provides a background of geographical context for the content you wish to display.
You can change the map at any time and select the one you want by using this map gallery. Click on Basemap Gallery icon from the bottom right side of the portal. On the widget, click on one of the listed maps for it to load and serve as your preferred map.
You can select one of the following maps:
It is important not only to view a map but also to make some sense out of it. A legend provides the map reader meaning of the symbols used to represent features on the map viz Departments, Hostels, Administrative, General Buildings and Grounds within the campus.
Click on Legend icon from the bottom menu bar on the portal. Now, look at the stylized shapes and symbols given on your map, you'll find out these shapes and symbols on legend with what they depict.
Note: The legend changes dynamically as per the scale of the map. The legend is visible if and only if the corresponding layer is visible on the map.
There are numerous ways in which you can use the IIT BHU Geo-Web Portal. You can use following tools for map navigation and exploration within the active map frame.
The Search Widget can be found on the top left corner of the active map frame. Search provides user with an opportunity to look for a particular place, address, layer or type of location on a map.
The Measure /Measurement Widget allows you to draw a line, a series of connected lines (polygon), or mark a point to measure the approximate distance, area, or coordinates of a location respectively.
You can use the Print tool to create a print file of your active map view and send it to your desired printer.
To print a map, follow the steps listed below.
Click on Bookmark icon on the right side of the portal and then Add in order to add a bookmark of the map and features that are visible to you on the active map frame. It can be accessed later when the user visits the portal another time. The user can name the bookmark and also remove it at his/her discretion.
Click on Default Extent icon from the top left of the portal will zoom in or out on the map so that the default map extent opens. This function proves extremely helpful when you zoom in or out too much on the map and wish to return to your original landing page extent.
To see more details on the map, zoom in or out. On your mobile device, you can use gestures like rotate, tilt, and zoom to quickly move through the map.
 You can select layers from the corresponding group and view data available related to the group to find out location of particular layers/services/facilities.By default, all the layers are turned on and are visible once the user starts zooming in. You can toggle on/off the layers in the group.
The Query Widget help a user identify and focus on a set of pre-defined features and find relevant information regarding the inquiry, such as finding features withn the inner parts of a particular building like offices/labs/rooms/halls etc.
The Direction Widget helps the user to find access or route from one loaction to another inside the campus. The Direction widget functions on the route layer visible on the map which is a road network dataset exclusively customised accotding to the IIT BHU campus and other surrounding areas.
Around me Widget allows the users to quickly identify services/facilities near a specified location point. It shows a complete list of all the nearest service providers in all the layers (mainly banks, ATMs, stationaries and eateries) selected along with the aerial distance.
Note: The distance calculated is the aerial distance.
You can share the app link of the IIT BHU Geo-Web Portal with other interested users. To do so,
Help us make IIT BHU GIS based application better by providing us your valuable feedback. You can report problems (wrong names, or other errors), give us suggestions, and compliment us.
We’re always looking for ways to improve and would love to hear from you.
Note: Be as specific as possible and include as much information as you can, so that we can serve you better.

Democrats Trying To Take Away Nuclear First Strike Option From President!
Anyone that has taken an American History course or government course before the liberal infiltration of the school systems in the United States will be able to easily tell you that the President is the final word on a great number of things.
One of those things being that he is the final stop in the chain of command as it pertains to the United States military.
Most people that went through any branch’s basic training at some point will be able to tell you that when they were told to memorize the chain of command the last stop on that particular journey was always whoever the sitting President was at the time.
Which means quite simply that any decision that needs to be made military can and must be made by the President if the need arises. Sure, the Joint Chiefs can recommend something to do, but the President is the only one that can outright order certain matters where they cannot be overturned.
Nobody wants to ever have to use nuclear weapons. We saw what happened seventy plus years ago the two instances that they actually had to be used. What they have today would make Fat Man and Little Boy look like a water balloon in comparison.
Which is why whenever the President travels anywhere he has to be able to authorize a nuclear strike in the event of the horrible time ever coming to pass. However, Democrats wants to put this like so many other things in committee and leave it up to a group of people when honestly we’ve seen what happens when they actually have time to debate things.
Can you imagine the headless chickens they would resemble if they only had a few minutes to decide?
Via Breitbart:
Democrats and nuclear weapons opponents held a press conference at the Capitol on Tuesday in support of legislation that would take the unilateral authority to launch a nuclear weapon away from the presidency.
Sponsors Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) were quick to say President Donald Trump did not inspire the bill, which was first introduced in 2016 “when everyone thought Hillary was going to be the next president,” Lieu said.
But both men and others who spoke cited Trump as a reason for “urgency” to get the legislation passed, calling him “paranoid” and “unstable” and displaying an array of placards with the president’s tweets and statements to prove their point.
“Now more than ever we need to cement this common-sense national security protection into law,” Markey said. “That’s because today, we have a president who has welcomed a 21st-century nuclear arms race with Russia while simultaneously tearing down the global arms control regime that has created stability, transparency, and security for decades.”
“A president who has shown time and again that he has no qualms acting impulsively with no consultation and with little justification in matters both foreign and domestic and who disturbingly believes that escalation and bullying are acceptable political tactics,” Markey said.
Democrats and their syncopants are trying to destroy presidential powers and take those powers for themselves. Country needing instantly nuclear power acts would be lost, Democrats and RHINOS Would be debating what to do while enemy’s striking at the US would have it destroyed before a group of bumbling idiots could decide what to do.

| DOSE: |
3.0 mg |
smoked |
2C-T-7 |
(powder / crystals) |
Yesterday, my friends and I tried smoking 2C-T-7 for the first time.
Because our scale was only accurate to .01g, and we had the pure fluffy substance, we measured out somewhere between 10-20mg, and then gently nudged about a third of this amount onto a piece of double-folded aluminum foil.
My friend recommended that we use a plastic straw to inhale the burning substance, but all we could come up with was a piece of paper cut in half and then rolled up (it worked fine).
With a butane lighter, my friend fired the bottom of the aluminum foil and quite quickly the substance turned into a wispy, quick-rising smoke. I did not have the paper straw very close to the burning substance, so of the approximtely 5mg of 2ct7 that was burned, I probably only managed to inhale somewhere between 2-3mg. The taste was almost unnoticeable - and there was no burning or pain of any kind with the small amounts I inhaled.
Both my other friends went next, with the most successful inhale coming from holding the paper straw almost directly on top of the burning substance. On the final round we all had our straws around the smoking foil - and the ritual had a gentle feeling of hungry-hungry hippos with the escaping smoke.
(0:00) - Immediately after inhaling I felt a subtle but unmistakeable 'up', of increased alertness combined with anticipation of whatever effects were going to come on. There were also some small little noisy sparks - a common occurrence for me before the onset of all types of hallucinogens, and immediately after smoking pot.
(0:07) - At this point I noticed familiar 2ct7 effects coming back, especially one of enhanced dimensional perception. For example, on the table in front of where I was sitting, there were probably 15 different objects of all sorts (beer bottles, candles, scale, etc). The change from sobriety to 2ct7-world feels like going from an ability to see three or four of those objects simultaneously, to being able to see all of them at once. A widened depth of field - with corresponding widening of focus and an enhancement of calm.
Another effect that I had noticed at this point was the enhancement of color perception - probably related to the previously mentioned visual enhancement: there was a psychedelic poster on my friend?s wall that after smoking the substance I noticed more of the colors on the picture, again a feeling of seeing more at once than before.
(0:12) - I walked with my friend to his car to retrieve some marijuana - the enhanced visuals were firmly in place at this point , which allowed me to enjoy more the soft grass underneath my feet and the trees and sunlight around me. Another effect that I noticed before we returned inside, was a higher likelihood of being noticed by those around you - probably simply because of the enhanced calm that allowed me to stare at people as if I were a child - innocently and continuously.
When we returned inside, we passed around the bowl, which mellowed us out even more and allowed us to talk more freely with more laughing and calm.
(0:20) - Another visual effect related to those previously mentioned was the enlargement of my friends' faces - especially their eyes. When talking to them, I was more likely to stare into their eyes for the entire time and would notice the intricacies of their iris and pupil while speaking. In combination with the marijuana, my state had reached utmost calm and collectedness that made me feel like I could no longer hear my own voice. I was responding peacefully and slowly to everything they said, with a growing sense of continual present (I would not specifically recall what I had just said because I felt like I was entirely responding to my friend?s facial gestures and movements - rather than talking for talking?s sake) When speaking to my friends, I felt like 'I' was really my eyes and wherever my eyes were focusing, while my arms, legs, and mouth felt more like a troupe of distinct creatures who were tamed perfectly under my control.
This is the state that 2ct7 had placed me in one week before at a wonderful party that we attended. At that time, I was dancing quite intensely but had the same feeling of my focus remaining calm, located in wherever my eyes were focusing, combined with a feeling of effortless while dancing/talking/whatever - I felt like I was air moving around and doing whatever needed to be done.
(0:45) - My friends and I decide to move to an outdoor Café near our place. My desires had taken a turn away from the analytical discussion my friends were having about their states - more towards finding beautiful girls to talk to and try out my increased perception/social skills.
We arrived there, ordered some beers, and sat down at a table where we could survey the crowd of approximately seventy-five people. The enhanced perception was particularly noticeably around people - giving a feeling of all of their faces getting larger, combined with an enhanced ability to focus in on whatever conversation was going on around me (the correlate sound-dimension enhancement, intricately related visual-perception in the synesthesia-pot of our consciousness).
I felt as though I could focus on my friend talking, and stare at him, which would make his face take over say 80% of my vision, but effortlessly I could look away form his face and focus equally well on a girl sitting away from us reading a book that was 100ft away, where she would then take up say 50% of my vision. The longer I focused on something or someone far away - the more I had the feeling that 'I', or the theater of my perception, would physically move towards her/it - or, to give another analogy, as if I was zooming in with my focus, dragging all my sight/sound/perception along with me.
(2:30) - We sat there for quite a while, my friends were talking amongst themselves most of the time while I was more just enjoying the scenery. I remember two more visual effects. There was a beautiful waitress who was weaving in and out of the tables serving drinks. Every time that she would come outside, I would watch her the entire time. While I was watching her, I had the feeling that everything but her was standing still.
Since the effects were quite subtle - and definitely not of the typical 'hallucinations', where you would notice shifting patterns or other things that you knew were not there, I do not know when the effects dropped off. In many ways I have stopped attributing as much cause to the substance itself - preferring to think of substances in general as subtle mood-enhancers that just bring out the best in me and drop away all the superfluous worries/distractions.
I will assuredly attempt smoking 2ct7 again - the subtly amazing worlds that I can enter with such an inexpensive and little amount make me yearn to repeat the person's experience I read about who used 2ct7 daily for a couple months as a cognitive enhancer. I understand his description, but I think that the substance holds much more potentential than simply a means to accomplish more tasks or learn more. I would prefer cognitive/emotional/perceptual/spiritual enhancer.
One final fascinating thing I have noticed. When I sat down this afternoon to write up this report - while I am writing it, I am unmistakably placed back into the enhanced perceptual world brought on by the 2ct7. This makes a lot of sense to me - in the act of writing I am exploring around in my memory, ordering out and reliving the experience I had yesterday now sitting in front of a computer. When I sit down and write out these things that happened to me, I am placing myself deeper into that intensely calm state of focus that the substance brought on - a technologically mediated form of mediation.
Perhaps the miracle of entering other worlds of perception with tiny tiny little flakes of white power can be topped by the bigger miracle of placing nothing inside my body, but simply focusing my mind on the wonderful experiences I have had in the past. It seems to be working so far - and this rhythm of experience, then share the experience with thousands of other people, then another experience seems like the first tastes of an unimaginably wonderful world coming up.

Hi,
First of all, let me apologize for the late and duplicate e-mails last week. I upgraded the server just before sending out the edition and I managed to break the mail-server. At first it did not send out the e-mail. After fixing part of the server I tried to send it again, that did not work either and then, when I finally managed to fix the server, all the messages that were in the queue went out at once.
The Polish Perl Workshop is this weekend in Poznan!.

Stevan Little
Stevan has been instrumental to a lot of modules on CPAN, some are even released by him, but probably he is best known as the creator of Moose and the person who adds MOP to the core Perl. Sometimes he even blogs about his progress. It would be great if you could say him thanks and encourage him to further work on the p5 MOP. In 2013 I conducted an interview with him.

I broke Perl::MinimumVersion, sorry
There are more than 8000 CPAN modules that depend indirectly on this module. Neil Bowers, the new maintainer released a new version of Perl::MinimumVersion, that broke some of the dependent modules. I think he is way to hard on himself, but the really interesting part is the list of ways he proposes to reduce the chance breaking the chain for other people. If you are a CPAN author, or if you are going to be a CPAN author, then these points can help reducing anxiety.

There doesn't seem to be a strong relationship between latitude and humidity, but moving North (positive latitude) seems to result in more humid weather.


My name is David Farrow. I am a passionate software developer and startup enthusiast. Im currently studying a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology majoring in software development at Griffith University Gold Coast, and am expected to graduate in June 2016.
I love volunteering and getting involved in the IT communities. I recently attended Startup Weekend Gold Coast and Brisbane Creative Tech. where with a small team, in 54hrs, I cofounded justteachme.co and composit.co. I was able to volunteer at the YOW! Conference 2015, and the YOW! Lambda Jam 2016. And I have been a member of the ACS Gold Coast committee for the past year.
I am an ICT peer mentor and part-time software developer at Griffith university. I have recently been able to work on a internal project, where using the Myo armband I developed a desktop application that can monitor and display data for muscular injuries in the arm and shoulder. I am also a prominent member of the Startup and student user group Studio39.
Most recently I have been interning at Just Digital People for my Industry Affiliate Program. As they are in the process of bootstrapping a software development team I have had the amazing opportunity to be involved in the hiring process and take the role as team lead, managing 3 developers of various experience, with one working remotely from Melbourne.
In addition to my love of technology, I love listening to podcasts and a wide range of music from the 1960s to now (I own somewhere between 500 and 1000 vinyl records). I also try to stay active and love trying new things, like most rencently golf and basketball.


Unit 5: Reliability and Absence-of-Bias
Overview
In this assignment, you will learn about reliability (the consistency of scores from a given assessment) and assessment bias (whether an assessment is biased against individuals or groups) by applying those concepts to the assessments you already created.
With this unit, we begin the second part of the course. In contrast to the relatively concrete guidelines for creating assessments, you are now going to start dealing with more abstract principles. You will see in this unit that there are no clear right or wrong answers. If you still can't come up with anything to say after reading your classmates entries, then you are free to indicate that in your entries. These are difficult questions, and some of you will struggle more than others. But you will return to these issues throughout the semester. You will also begin searching for relevant outside resources that consider these ideas in your context, role, and domain.
This unit is based on Chapters 3 and 5 in the textbook. For further information on bias, it might be helpful to watch this video from the author of our textbook, Popham.
Reiterate Your Context (By October 13)
Review Chapter 3 and Chapter 5. Then summarize your assessment practice (the suite of assessments you have developed so far) and your institutional role as they relate to reliability and bias. Highlight the aspects of your lesson and role that are particularly relevant to these issues. You should probably revisit and rewrite after you have completed the rest of the assignment. For example, many low-stakes classroom assessments do not need to be particularly reliable, but high-stakes tests used to make important decisions need to yield consistent scores; assessment bias is probably more likely in a social studies class than a chemistry class.
CONSIDER THE CONCEPTS (ALL REQUIRED BY OCTOBER 13)
Types of Reliability
For each of your examples of the assessments listed below, state which type of reliability evidence (stability, alternate form, or internal consistency) seems most relevant. Then state what you might do to increase the reliability of YOUR assessments. This must be specific. Look long and hard at each of your assessments in light of the ideas in the chapter.
A. Selected-Response Items
B. Constructed-Response Items
C. Essay Items
D. Performance Assessment
E. Portfolio Assessment
Standard Error of Measure
Use your assessment practice as a context to explain what the SEM is and why it is such an important concept in educational measurement. Try to come up with an example of some sort of question or problem you might be able to resolve by having a better understanding of SEM.
Absence-of-Bias
For each of the assessment formats listed below, write a short paragraph that discusses (a) which type of bias (offensiveness versus unfair penalization) seems like the biggest risk and (b) which approach to reducing bias (panel judgement, per item judgement, overall judgement, or empirical) seems most appropriate. Then state what you could to do decrease bias. Popham discusses bias in this article. You should be specific here and if you can't think of a way to decrease bias, you need to say so.
A. Selected-Response Items
B. Constructed-Response Items
C. Essay Items
D. Performance Assessment
E. Portfolio Assessment
Big Ideas
Review the chapter, assignment, and your peers’ wikifolios. Also, read the Chapter Summary and What Teachers Need to Know. Come up with three big ideas about reliability and bias. Number the ideas (1, 2, 3) and list them in order of importance to you, keeping in mind your role and context. Write a brief summary/explanation of each idea where you make it clear why they are relevant to you. These are the BIG ideas of the chapters not the more specific concepts listed above. You should refer to the What Teachers Need to Know…. section and the summary at the end of the chapter. Try to insert your experience and academic domain into this discussion.
Locate an External Resource
Reliability and (particularly) bias are very broad topics that we can’t possibly cover in a chapter. In particular, one textbook can’t possibly address these complex issues from the perspective of your various roles, domains, and items. Use Google to locate videos, articles or other relevant resources on reliability and bias, or use Google Scholar to locate relevant scholarly papers. Experiment with different search terms.
Copy and paste the URL (Uniform Resource Locator, from the browser location bar) into your wikifolio by clicking on the link button above the edit window (middle icon in top row) and pasting the URL into the window. Write a few sentences about your resources and how it is helpful.
OPTIONAL ELEMENTS (MOST BY OCTOBER 13)
Self-Check
Take the self-check at the end of the chapter. Answer all four questions without looking up the answers. If you can't answer the items you should go back over that section. Say a few words about the ones you got wrong and why.
Pondertime
Ponder the Pondertime questions. Do so in light of your role and aspirations and identify the question that is most relevant to you. Write a response to the most relevant question that includes an explanation of why it is most relevant to you. In particular consider how your role and domain impacted the relevance of the questions for you.
Reflection (BY OCTOBER 20)
Post three brief reflections. You should write a coherent reflection that demonstrates understanding of the concepts and how they related to your curricular aims and context. On your Wikifolio, be sure to label each of the three types of engagement as you present your reflection.
A. Consequential Engagement. What might you do differently after reading about this week’s topic and completing this assignment?
B. Critical Engagement. How well-suited was your role and curricular aim to learning this week’s concepts and big ideas? Did one of your classmates have a better context for learning some of these concepts? Note that you are NOT being asked to critique how well you did. Rather you are reflecting on the fit between your aim and role and the concepts we learned this week.
C. Collaborative Engagement. Whose comments and examples were particularly helpful for your completing this assignment? Be specific and name people and what they contributed that was helpful.
You are advised to begin drafting the reflections while you are working on the Wikifolio, and then to complete them before starting the next assignment. They should serve as a review and help you better connect the ideas of the chapter to your practice.
//***NO TEXT INPUT FIELD for the following...put the first two above the endorse/promote box
INTERACT WITH PEERS (ALL REQUIRED, OCTOBER 13-17)
Endorse (by OCTOBER 17)
While you are commenting, you should endorse at least three of your classmates’ Wikifolios for being complete. If your classmate has completed the required Context and Concepts elements of the assignment, click the box that says Required Elements Completed. If your classmate has completed all of the optional elements (except for the reflection) click All Elements Completed.
Your own Wikifolios needs to be endorsed by at least one classmate to count towards course completion. If you completed your wikifolio and it was not endorsed by a classmate, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Promote (by OCTOBER 17)
As part of reviewing and discussing, promote one (and only one) of your classmates’ Wikifolios as being exemplary from your perspective. Your reference group is whatever set you choose to review. Ideally you should promote the one wikifolio that is exemplary out of your networking group. Click the box that indicates you wish to mark it as exemplary and indicate what was exemplary about it that helped you understand the chapter concepts.
This does not have to mean it was that best or even most complete. But rather it was an exemplary consideration of the chapter concepts in a way that helped you better understand them. A “leader” badge will be issued for each of the the three sections for the member of each networking group whose Wikifolio gets the most promotions.
//***NO TEXT INPUT FIELD for the following...put these above the comments box
Post Questions (by OCTOBER 13)
Post at least one question as a comment to your classmates and the instructor that this assignment raised for you, given your role and setting. Try to not ask “known answer” yes/no questions. Rather ask questions that can get some discussion started.
Discuss (OCTOBER 13-17)
Review the wikifolios of your groupmates and find ones that look interesting to you. Engage in discussion with them by posting questions or responding to their questions. Be sure to put responses in the box for responses. If there are multiple responses make it clear which response you are responding to. The goal here is to generate discussion threads that consider how the chapter concepts and considerations take on different meanings for different students.

Prior to streaming, make sure to install and load rtweet. This vignette assumes users have already setup user access tokens (see: the “auth” vignette).
In addition to accessing Twitter’s REST API (e.g., search_tweets
, get_timeline
), rtweet makes it possible to capture live streams of Twitter data using the stream_tweets()
function. By default, stream_tweets
will stream for 30 seconds and return a random sample of tweets. To modify the default settings, stream_tweets
accepts several parameters, including q
(query used to filter tweets), timeout
(duration or time of stream), and file_name
(path name for saving raw json data).
## Stream keywords used to filter tweets
q <- "hillaryclinton,imwithher,realdonaldtrump,maga,electionday"
## Stream time in seconds so for one minute set timeout = 60
## For larger chunks of time, I recommend multiplying 60 by the number
## of desired minutes. This method scales up to hours as well
## (x * 60 = x mins, x * 60 * 60 = x hours)
## Stream for 30 minutes
streamtime <- 30 * 60
## Filename to save json data (backup)
filename <- "rtelect.json"
Once these parameters are specified, initiate the stream. Note: Barring any disconnection or disruption of the API, streaming will occupy your current instance of R until the specified time has elapsed. It is possible to start a new instance or R—streaming itself usually isn’t very memory intensive—but operations may drag a bit during the parsing process which takes place immediately after streaming ends.
Parsing larger streams can take quite a bit of time (in addition to time spent streaming) due to a somewhat time-consuming simplifying process used to convert a json file into an R object. For example, the stream above yielded a little over 140,000 tweets and took my Macbook Air, which has 4gb of RAM, about 10 minutes to process.
Given a lengthy parsing process, users may want to stream tweets into json files upfront and parse those files later on. To do this, simply add parse = FALSE
and make sure you provide a path (file name) to a location you can find later. To ensure the stream automatically reconnects following any interruption prior to the specified stream time, use stream_tweets2()
.
Regardless of whether you decide to setup an organizational system for streaming data, the process of streaming a file to disk and parsing it at a later point in space-time is the same, as illustrated in the example below.
## No upfront-parse save as json file instead method
stream_tweets(
q = q,
parse = FALSE,
timeout = streamtime,
file_name = filename
)
## Parse from json file
rt <- parse_stream(filename)
## stream_tweets2 method
twoweeks <- 60L * 60L * 24L * 7L * 2L
congress <- "congress,senate,house of representatives,representatives,senators,legislative"
stream_tweets2(
q = congress,
parse = FALSE,
timeout = twoweeks,
dir = "congress-stream"
)
## Parse from json file
rt <- parse_stream("congress-stream.json")
The parsed object should be the same whether a user parses up-front or from a json file in a later session. The returned object should be a data frame consisting of tweets data.
The returned object should also include a data frame of users data, which Twitter’s stream API automatically returns along with tweets data. To access users data, use the users_data
function.
Once parsed, ts_plot()
provides a quick visual of the frequency of tweets. By default, ts_plot()
will try to aggregate time by the day. Because I know the stream only lasted 30 minutes, I’ve opted to aggregate tweets by the second. It’d also be possible to aggregate by the minute, i.e., by = "mins"
, or by some value of seconds, e.g.,by = "15 secs"
. I usually fiddle around with this a bit until the plot looks good.
The ts_plot()
function can also generate multiple time series for grouped data frames.
## plot multiple time series by first grouping the data by screen name
rt %>%
dplyr::group_by(screen_name) %>%
ts_plot() +
ggplot2::labs(
title = "Tweets during election day for the 2016 U.S. election",
subtitle = "Tweets collected, parsed, and plotted using `rtweet`"
)
Often times these plots kinda resemble a frowny face with the first and last points appearing significantly lower than the rest. This is because the first and last intervals of time are artificially shrunken by connection and disconnection processes. To remedy this, users can specify trim = 1
to tell R to drop the first and last observation for each time series. This usually yields a much more attractive looking plot.

Unauthorised Vehicle Tried to Enter White House Complex - US Secret Service
Earlier, the federal law enforcement agency reported that it was responding to “a suspicious vehicle” jointly with the Washington DC police department.
An unidentified vehicle has attempted to enter the White House illegally, the US secret service revealed via Twitter.
According to the service, the vehicle attempted to enter the complex by tailing another legally entering the premises via a checkpoint. The service added that the vehicle was later pulled over and the individual driving it was immediately detained and taken into custody.
According to footage from local TV station Fox 5, the police were searching a black Mercedes-Benz SUV.
Earlier, the federal law enforcement agency reported that it was responding to “a suspicious vehicle”.
The service announced that several roads were closed in relation to the incident and that traffic will remain shut for an unspecified period of time.

Patch Notes
A few changes needed to be made to my previous design, from simple arithmetic.
First, the damage was way out of whack. I had reasoned that a shot from a 20-foot-tall robot should essentially always knock out a normal person: 20 damage was a minimum on a hit. But that’s insane, when you scale it. The new damage values reflect the idea that the smallest round a mech of this size would be firing is equivalent, roughly, to a G36 rifle.
Second, I added a section on scaling armor to size. However, it’s a little clunky right now. I’m not sure whether I’m going to keep it this way, or try to refactor that rule into something more streamlined and scalable.
One thing I’ve considered is adding frame types, particularly a light-and-fast type which has fewer hard points, and a heavy type, with more. But that does cause some difficulty in assigning table values, and eats up a lot of word count when the goal remains a one-page rule set.
Micro Mecha
Mecha At War
The default setting assumed here uses futuristic, laser-firing ‘Mechs of roughly 7 yards in height. For ‘Mechs at different levels of technology, increase Loaded Weight by 1 rank (with the matching decrease in Move) and decrease all other traits by 1 (do not double-tax Move) for every major technological leap backwards, or the opposite (decrease LWt and increase everything else) for the product of improved technology. For ‘Mechs of lesser size, reduce all ranks including LWt by 1 per major size jump; of greater, increase all ranks including LWt by 1.
To build a mech, you spend 18 Hard Points. Each of these represents a piece of equipment or mechanical feature of your mech. These fall into roughly five categories: Armor, Movement, Power, Weapons and Support.
Armor
Each Hard Point assigned to armor grants 4 dDR, and increases the Tonnage by 1 rank on the table (the default is 20 tons), along with a matching decrease in Move by 1 rank. When a Mech takes damage, each die of dDamage, or 10 dice of regular damage, dealt at once reduces the overall armor by 1 dDR; Sundering weapons deal 2 dDR worth of damage per die. When scaling according to size, use the maximum Weapon Damage value for 1 hard point at default. For example, if using a Size 4 ranks lower than default, armor grants 6 DR per power point, and is reduced by 1 per regular die of damage.
Damage
When taking damage that penetrates DR, roll a 6-sided die, multiply by a 6-sided die divided by 2 (1 to 3), and compare to the Hard Point list. The Mech makes an HT roll to avoid the system being disabled. If the system is already disabled, then it is destroyed on a failed HT roll. If the system is already destroyed, then roll HT to avoid the entire Mech being blown up. If more than 5 dDamage penetrates DR, continue rolling HT after a failure to see how badly the attack penetrates.
Movement
Each Hard Point assigned to additional legs ascends Move by 1 rank, with a default (for two legs) of 10. Regardless of the number of legs, movement costs 1 Power Point. This requirement may be increased, with each Power Point further increasing Move by 1 rank per point. This must be decided when creating the Mech.
Power
Each Hardpoint assigned to power generation grants 2 Power Points. These Power Points must be assigned during combat situations to allow movement, fire powerful weapons, and power support equipment. Assigning and re-assigning Power Points occurs during the combat round.
Weapons
Each Hardpoint assigned to weapons can be grouped together into a single weapon or separated into multiple weapons, depending on preference, though this choice must be made at the time of generation (not in real-time). Adding a Hardpoint ascends the damage scale by 1 rung, beginning with 1D. Up to 2 modifications can be added per Hard Point, which each add a 1-Power-Point requirement to fire (the default is 0). The modifications are chosen from the following:
- Heavy Damage ascends 1 rank.
- Sundering Deals extra damage when destroying armor; overall damage is reduced by 1 rank.1
- Armor Piercing Divides dDR by two.1 Multi-Hardpoint weapons systems may take Heavy up to twice per Hard Point, each instance costing 1 Power Point as normal.
Handheld Weapons
One-Handed Ranged deals Weapon Damage of 1 rank lower, and can take up to 1 Power Point upgrade if limited to 10 shots. Two-Handed Ranged deals Weapon Damage, and can take up to 1 Power Point upgrade if limited to 10 shots. Handheld Melee weapons deal Weapon Damage, and automatically choose between being Armor Piercing or Sundering. They then choose 1 further Power Point upgrade, which may be additional Sundering or Armor Piercing, or extra damage. Handheld Melee still cannot have both AP and Sundering.
Support
Additional equipment may be assigned to Hard Points, each of which is listed below, along with any Power Point requirements.
- Weapons Jammer (1 Power) Attacks made against the Mech are made with a –2 penalty.
- Targeting System (1 Power) Attacks made by the Mech are made at +1.
- Arm (1 Power for all Arms) Either holds handheld weapons, or can be used for striking in melee (Weapon damage +1 Rank).
- Radar Allows an IQ-based Electronics Operation (Sensors)/TL check to locate other nearby Mecha.
- Stealth Countermeasures Attempts to use Radar to detect the Mech are made with a –2 penalty.
Mecha Combat
Each turn, choose one action from those below, and move up to your Move in yards:
- Attack Gunnery (Mecha)/TL check to deal damage to one target per weapons battery. Each target past the first assesses a –1 penalty to all attacks that round.
- Evade Driving (Mecha)/TL check to give enemy Mechs –2 penalty to attack you for 1 turn.
- Lock-On Electronics Operation (Sensors)/TL to grant a +2 to attacking a specified target on the next turn.
- Power Allocation Decide whether to act quickly or carefully. Careful allocation takes the full turn. If done quickly, test Repair (Mecha)/TL. On failure, your Power pool shrinks by 1 until you reallocate. On a critical success, your Power pool expands by 1, until combat ends. On a critical failure, your Power pool shrinks by 1 until combat ends.

With this app you can scan Qr codes and barcodes. Here's how to use it:
The most important thing for scanning is that the code has a good resolution, is not blurred and not tilted.
Avoid light reflections or shadows on the code.
The code does not have to fill the entire scan area. Do not hold the camera too close, as the code may become out of focus.
Likewise, increasing the scanning area can help with very large, complex, or very long codes.


ARIA doesn't augment any of the element's inherent behavior:
Custom behaviors still need to be implemented
3. Do not use `role="presentation"` or `aria-hidden="true"` on a visible and focusable element.
4. All interactive elements must have an accessible label or name.
Do this:
a11y(URL, callback)
accepts a string as input and takes a callback providing a reports object with the accessibility audit for the supplied URL.
var a11y = require('a11y');
a11y('esri.com', function (err, reports) {
var output = JSON.parse(reports);
var audit = output.audit; //a11y formatted report
var report = output.report;
//Chrome devtools accessibility audit formatted report
reports.audit.forEach(function (el) {
// result will be PASS, FAIL or NA
if (el.result === 'FAIL') {
// el.heading
// el.severity
// el.elements
}
});

knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to
you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
Choose a door that you think has a car
You can switch to another door or stay with the same.

Javascript (which is NOT Java)
Why JavaScript?
JavaScript is quickly becoming very popular in modern day web development. It is dynamic and can do so many things and is a crucial piece of the user experience puzzle. It is also an integral part of mobile developement. Mobile browsing is rapidly becoming a more important part of our everyday lives. Can you think of a day where you have not used your phone to look at something on the internet be it Facebook, Twitter, or the web? All of these use Javascript for a variety of purposes. JavaScript is now not only used for client-side code but is also becoming important on the server-side using node.js. It also is used for game development and mobile and desktop applications. From manipulating DOM elements to making database calls with AJAX, JS is an amazing and evolving language.
Some cool JS features
- You can test it quickly and see the source code
- Manipulate page elements
- Page events (such as onClick)
- jQuery (I LOVE THIS ONE)
- AJAX (say you want to add something to a database without leaving the page - so cool)
- It is the only standards based language in web browsers.
Limitations?
I haven't found anything wrong with JavaScript in the time I have spent using it or through research. However,I look forward to maybe discovering some of it's limitations and how to work around them through DBC.
To learn more about this awesome language you can start here or here. You can read more about why JavaScript is quickly dominating as a language here.

Matrix Linear Transformations
Object and coordinates space, rotation
We can transform an object
We can transform the coordinates
Recall that linear transformations do not include translation.
Transforming an object by an given amount is equal to
transforming the coordinate system by the opposite amount.
Multiple transformations are applied in the opposite order.
Example:
If we scale an object by 200% and then rotate it 20 degrees clockwise,
this is equal to rotating the coordinate system 20 degrees counterclockwise
and then scaling by 50%.
Rotation in 2D
When rotating in 2D we rotate around a point.
For now, consider rotating about the origin.
Only one param $\theta$, which is the amount of rotation.
Counterclockwise is normally positive while clockwise is negative.
Consider basis vectors $p = [1,0]$ and $q = [0, 1]$ rotating counterclockwise.
The new values $p' = [cos \theta, sin \theta]$ and $q = [-sin \theta, cos \theta]$
So we have the matrix
$R(\theta)
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} p' \\ q' \end{smallmatrix} \right]
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} cos \theta && sin \theta \\ -sin \theta && cos \theta \end{smallmatrix} \right]
$
Rotation in 3D
Rotation in 3D is about an axis.
When we rotate by an amount $\theta$, we need to know which way is positive.
The standard way is the left-hand rule.
Rotation in 3D: left hand rule
The left hand rule works as such- put your hand in a thumbs up position.
Your thumb points towards the positive end of the axis of rotation.
Positive rotation about said axis is in the direction that your fingers curl.
Rotation in 3D axes
$p = [1,0,0]$
$q = [0,1,0]$
$r = [0,0,1]$
Rotation in 3D about the x-axis
$R_x(\theta)
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} p' \\ q' \\ r' \end{smallmatrix} \right]
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} 1 && 0 && 0 \\ 0 && cos \theta && sin \theta \\ 0 && -sin \theta && cos \theta \end{smallmatrix} \right]
$
Rotation in 3D about the y-axis
$R_y(\theta)
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} p' \\ q' \\ r' \end{smallmatrix} \right]
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} cos \theta && 0 && -sin \theta \\ 0 && 1 && 0 \\ sin \theta && 0 && cos \theta \end{smallmatrix} \right]
$
Rotation in 3D about the z-axis
$R_z(\theta)
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} cos \theta && sin \theta && 0 \\ -sin \theta && cos \theta && 0 \\ 0 && 0 && 1 \end{smallmatrix} \right]
= \left[ \begin{smallmatrix} p' \\ q' \\ r' \end{smallmatrix} \right]
$
