Pantry Grab Bag
I’ve been craving a good, hearty sandwich lately. Growing up in New Jersey, sub sandwiches will always be close to my heart, but the whole vegetarian thing really throws a wrench into that gear. Since I moved away from home for college, the tradition has always been to pick up Mike’s Subs for my first dinner at home – Ham and Provolone. No tomatoes, extra lettuce, light mayo, and all the seasonings.
So I’m trying to find a replacement. Tough going considering I’m trying to avoid both crappy bread AND meat, but I thought I’d give it a shot. Presenting, my “whatever’s in the pantry” sandwich rollup:
Appearance-wise: Not my best work, but let me tell you this thing was DELICIOUS. (Note to self: dig out the macro lens when you’re not hungry). Today’s version was leftovers from yesterday. I decided to add some sriracha to change it up a bit. Best. Decision. Ever.
Here’s what’s in it (note my very precise measures.):
- 1 can Chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- ~5 walnuts
- a handful of dried cranberries (not the sweetened with juice kind)
- ~4-5 baby carrots
- 2 scallions
- salt and pepper
- ~3 tbsp low fat mayo
- ~2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ~1 tbsp agave nectar
- leaf of lettuce
- whole grain tortilla
It’s dead simple: Mash up the chickpeas a bit. I used a potato masher. Chop up all the remaining veggies (except the lettuce) and nuts into about equal sizes and add them to the chickpeas. In a separate bowl, mix together the mayo, vinegar, and agave. Pour it over the veggie mix and combine. Salt and pepper to taste.
Break up the lettuce on the tortilla to create a base for the veggie filling. Spoon out about 3-4 tablespoons depending on the size of your tortilla. Add some sriracha if that’s your thing (and it should be). Wrap it up and enjoy!
For good measure, I have a small cup of strawberries and pomegranate on the side. Strawberries and pomegranates make me happy.
I wasn’t expecting to have so much in the way of leftovers after making this yesterday, but it turns out to produce about 3-4 servings which is amazing. Leftovers win.
 I also may experiment with using greek yogurt instead of mayo, but that may be an experiment for when I’m slightly more daring.
Hopefully from here forward my photo quality will improve. Live and learn.
Oh and PS I made a perfect soft boiled egg for the first time today. Nothing photo-worthy as it was just more leftovers, but I’ll definitely be making it again so stay tuned for that one.


The Problem
With the asset pipeline included in Rails 3.1, we have a great big javascript file including all at once our code.
But what about code isolation through all our sources files ?
CofeeScript respond to that perfectly with creation of one function object per file compiled. To add a global variable, you simply define it for the window object :
1
2 | window.foo= () ->
console.log('foo')
|
So all our javascript code is executed when it loads with good code isolation, but what if we want part of the code executed only for one view or all views of a controller ?
call initializers in your layout
I first wrote the gem Epyce to limit code loaded to only current controller and view, but this had 2 main issues :
- loose benefit of one big js file to be put on a CDN
- shared code between views must go to controller .js file
Then I rollback to the big application.js file and add initializers registration to my layout.
Like this for erb:
application.html.erb
1
2
3
4
5
6 | <script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready( function() {
Rails.init('<%="#{controller.controller_name}"%>');
Rails.init('<%="#{controller.controller_name}_#{controller.action_name}"%>');
});
</script>
|
or if like me you are a haml:
application.html.haml
%script{type: 'text/javascript'}
$(document).ready( function() { Rails.init("#{controller.controller_name}"); Rails.init("#{controller.controller_name}_#{controller.action_name}");});
Register initializers
Each initializer function can be binded to severals names.
By convention views are named => controllerName_viewName
here is an example of binding a initializer to the Person controller
persons.js.coffee
1
2 | Rails.register_init 'persons', () ->
console.log('hello from Person controller')
|
Here is an example of binding several views to one initializer
persons.js.coffee
1
2 | Rails.register_init ['persons_new','persons_edit'], () ->
console.log('editing a Person')
|
initializers are cumulative
Calling register_init()
several times on the same name cumulate initializers
for example:
1
2
3
4
5 | Rails.register_init 'mytest', () -> console.log('foo')
Rails.register_init 'mytest', () -> console.log('bar')
# ... later in code ...
Rails.init('mytest')
|
will produce in console:
The registering code
To make all the previous code work, we need to define the Rails object.
application.js.coffee

fromPrototype = (prototype, object) ->
newObject = Object.create(prototype)
`for(prop in object)
{
if(object.hasOwnProperty(prop))
newObject[prop] = object[prop];
}`
return newObject
window.Rails=fromPrototype Array,
register_init: (names, fun) ->
if(typeof(names.forEach) == 'undefined')
n=names
names=[n]
for n in names
previously_registered=this[n]
this[n]=() ->
if(typeof(previously_registered) != 'undefined')
previously_registered.call()
fun.call()
init: (name) ->
if(typeof(this[name]) != 'undefined')
this[name]()
|
Note the usage of #= require_self
to ensure your Rails object will be defined before including all our others files
One more thing
When registered, initializers can be called using init() and there name as string or directly on the Rails object.

Biblio and links
I will finish with a great thanks to Yehuda Katz for his 2 essential posts about Javascript :
links:


Interfacing to an external program is one thing you can do the old-fashioned way: by getting a copy of a working program and editing it. You can find starter programs in the J distribution. A good one to start with is \system\packages\winapi\registry.ijs. You can glance through this program to see what it does. It starts with
require 'dll'
which defines the verb cd . Calls to the DLL appear in lines like
rc =. 'Advapi32 RegCreateKeyExA i i *c i *c i i i *i *i'
cd root;key;0;";0;sam;0;(,_1);(,_1)
(this is a single line in the program; I have shown it here as two lines because it won't fit on the page as a single line)
This example exhibits the elements of a call to a DLL. The left operand of cd is a character list describing the function to be called and what arguments it is expecting. Here we are calling the entry point RegCreateKeyExA in the library Advapi32 (the library has a file extension of .dll under Windows, .so on Linux, and .dylib on the Mac). The sequence of is and *cs are descriptors that describe the interface to the function. The first item in that sequence describes the type of value returned by the function; the other items are the arguments to the function and are a one-for-one rendering of the argument list that would be passed in C. So, the line above is appropriate for calling a function defined with the prototype
int RegCreateKeyExA(int, char *, int , char *, int, int, int, int *, int *);
The first two words passed in to cd are the library name and the procedure name. The library name is the name of the DLL file and follows the search path for your system. The procedure name is the name of a function found in that library.
There are two special library names: 0 and 1. Using these names allows you to call procedure by address of by function number. When the library name is 0, the procedure name is actually the integer address of the procedure. For example, library name/procedure of '0 559038737' would be a call to the procedure at memory address 0xdeadbeef.
When the library name is 1, it indicates
that the procedure name gives the integer address of the object being called
(actually it gives the address of the address of the vtable for the
object). The first parameter gives the index of the procedure
in the vtable, and its descriptor (which is the second descriptor, since the first one describes the result of the
procedure) must be x or *.
Describing the Operands and Result
The descriptors come next. They can be c (char), s (short) , i (int), f (float), d (double), j (complex), w (Unicode), l (64-bit integer), x (J integer, either 32 or 64 bits) or n (placeholder--a value of 0 is used and the result is ignored); all but n can be preceded by * to indicate a non-atomic array of that type. * by itself indicates a non-atomic array of unspecified type.
The first descriptor describes the result of the procedure. Subsequent descriptors describe the operands to the procedure.
The right operand of cd is the actual arguments to be passed to the called function. It is a list, with one item for each argument to the called function. The arguments correspond to the argument descriptors one for one (remember that the first descriptor describes the result, so there will be one more descriptor than arguments). Normally the items are boxed, with the contents of each box containing one argument, but if all the operands are scalars of the same type you can save some time by leaving the array of operands unboxed.
An argument whose descriptor does not include * must correspond to a scalar which can be converted to the appropriate type. For example, a descriptor of d can have an argument value of 0 or 4.5, but not 'a' . An argument whose descriptor includes * must be either a non-atomic array or a scalar memory address (see below). The address of the array or memory area is passed to the DLL and the DLL may modify the array or memory area; this is how you return an array from the function. If the type of an array does not match the descriptor, the interpreter makes of copy in the correct format and passes its address to the DLL.
s and f are not native J types. The interpreter always has to convert the argument to the correct format for the DLL; in addition, it converts the result back to J format. Arguments for s and f descriptors can also be character strings, 2 bytes per number for s and 4 bytes per number for f, that contain the byte sequence for the argument. 3!:4 and 3!:5 can be used to convert numbers into character-string form (see below under 'Filling a Structure: Conversions' for details).
Note that if you get things wrong and the function scribbles outside the bounds of an array, J may crash. Note also that a vector of 0s and 1s is held inside J as a vector of Booleans, which are chars. When the function calls for a vector of ints, J will convert any Boolean to int. In the example above, (,_1) reserved space for an int; (,0) would have worked too but would require a conversion.
When the function returns, its returned value will be boxed and appended to the front of the list of boxed operands that were passed to the DLL, to produce the result of the execution of cd . You may use this returned value as you see fit. Any box that contained a non-atomic array may have had its contents modified by the function; you may open the box to get the changed value.
Flag characters that control the call to DLL may be included just before the first descriptor. The + and % flags control technical details of the calling convention and will not be discussed here. The > flag indicates that you are not interested in anything but the result from the DLL. When > is given, the result of cd is an unboxed scalar rather than a list of boxes, which can be much faster.
The cd verb has rank 1 1. If you have to call the same entry point many times, it may be faster to have an array of arguments and use cd once (preferably with the > flag).
If J was unable to call the DLL, the cd verb fails with a domain error. You can then execute the sentence cder '' which will return a 2-element list indicating what went wrong. The User Guide gives a complete list of errors; the most likely ones are 4 0 (the number of arguments did not match the number of declarations), 5 x (declaration number x was invalid--the count starts with the declaration of the returned value which is number 0), and 6 x (argument number x did not match its declaration--the count starts with the first argument which is number 0 and must match the second declaration).
Passing arrays into the called function is adequate only for simple functions. If the function expects an argument to be a structure, possibly containing pointers to other structures, you will have to allocate memory for the structures, fill the structures appropriately, and free the memory when it is no longer needed. J provides a set of verbs to support such memory management.
Allocate memory: mema (15!:3)
mema length allocates a memory area of length bytes. The result is the address of the memory area, as an integer. It is 0 if the allocation failed. mema has infinite rank.
You must box the memory address before using it as an operand to cd . Do not box the address for use as an operand to memf, memw, or memr .
Free memory: memf (15!:4)
memf address frees the memory area pointed to by address . address must be a value that was returned by mema . Result of 0 means success, 1 means failure. memf has infinite rank.
Write Into a Memory Area: memw (15!:2)
data memw address,byteoffset,count,type
causes data to be written, starting at an offset
of byteoffset
from the area pointed to by address, for a length of count
items whose type is given by type . type is 2 for characters, 4
for integers, 8
for floating-point numbers, 16 for complex numbers; if omitted, the
default is 2 . If type is 2,
count
may be one more than the length of data to cause a string-terminating NUL (\0)
to be written after the data .
Read From a Memory Area: memr (15!:1)
memr address,byteoffset,count,type
produces as its result the information starting at an offset
of byteoffset
from the area pointed to by address, for a length of count
items whose type is given by type . type is 2 for characters, 4
for integers, 8
for floating-point numbers, 16 for complex numbers; if omitted, the
default is 2 . The result is a list with count items of
the type given by type .If
type
is 2,
count
may be _1
which causes the read to be terminated before the first NUL (\0) character
encountered.
Filling a Structure: Conversions
To create a structure to pass into a DLL, you must ensure that every byte is in the right place. The way to do this is to convert your nouns to character strings so that you have complete control over how the bytes are packed. J gives you a set of foreigns that will convert your numbers to character strings.
x (3!:4) y converts the atom or list y, which must be integer to within the comparison tolerance, to a character string in which each atom of y occupies 2^x bytes. x may be 1 (2-byte short result), 2 (4-byte long result), or 3 (8-byte result if you have J64). The 'conversion' is merely a change of type: for example, when an integer is converted to 4-byte character, the 32-bit binary code for the integer is not changed, but it is viewed as 4 characters.
To go in the other direction, x is negative: (-x) (3!:4) y splits a string into 2^x-character pieces and calls each piece an integer. If x is 0, the string is split into 2-byte pieces which are construed as representing an unsigned short which is converted to a J number.
3!:5 does a similar job for floating-point values. x (3!:5) y, where x is 1 or 2, produces a string in which each atom of y occupies 2^1+x bytes. y is first converted to a floating-point value of the correct size. Negative values of x convert from string to numeric representation.
When a noun is assigned the value of another noun, as in
a =. b =. 5
a single memory area is used to hold the value common to both nouns, and the two nouns are said to be aliases of each other. Aliasing obviously reduces the time and space used by a computation. The interpreter takes care to ensure that aliasing is invisible to the programmer; if after the statement above we execute
b =. 6
the interpreter will assign the new value to b only, leaving a unchanged. What actually happens is that the new value is created in a data block of its own and the descriptor for the noun b is changed to point to the new block. (Almost all verbs create their outputs in newly-allocated data blocks. As of J6.01 the exceptions are ], [, and , and u} when used in one of the forms that produces in-place modification. Increasing the number of cases recognized for in-place execution is a continuing activity of the J developers).
If there were nothing more to say about aliasing, I would not single it out for mention from among the dozens of performance-improving tricks used by the interpreter. What makes it worth considering is the effect aliasing has when elements outside the J language touch J's nouns. This can occur in two ways: when a noun is mapped to a file and when a noun is modified by a DLL.
When a noun is mapped to a file, the descriptor for the noun points to the file's data and that pointer is never changed even if a value is assigned to the variable: the whole point of mapping the noun to the file is to cause changes in the noun to be reflected in the file, so any assignment to the noun causes the data to be copied into the area that is mapped to the file.
In addition, when b is a noun mapped to a file and is assigned to another noun as with
a =. b
the noun a, which is aliased to b, also inherits the 'mapped-to-file' attribute. This behavior is necessary to make mapped files useful, because assignments to x and y are implicit whenever a verb is invoked and it would defeat the whole purpose of mapping if the data of the file had to be copied every time the mapped noun was passed to a verb. The combination of aliasing and mapping means that any assignment to a mapped noun also changes the values of all other nouns which share the same mapping: for example, if you pass a mapped noun a as the right operand of a verb that modifies its y, y, a, and the data in the file will all be modified.
Keeping track of the aliasing is the price you pay for using mapped files. If you need to copy a noun making sure you get a fresh, unmapped data block, you must not assign the mapped noun directly, but instead assign the result of some verb that creates its output in a new data block. For example, as of J6.01 the assignment
a =. a:{b
will create a new data block containing the data of b, and a will point to that new block.
The J interpreter uses aliasing for boxed cells of an array, so that if you execute
b =. i. 10000 10000
a =. b;5
item 0 of a simply contains a pointer to the data block of b rather than a fresh copy of the 800MB array. In addition, when a list of boxes is used as the right operand of cd, as in
'dll-spec' cd root;key;0;'';0;sam;0;(,_1);(,_1)
any array operands to the DLL function are passed via a pointer to the data in the list of boxes, with no separate copy of the data being made. This means that if the DLL modifies one of its arguments, any nouns aliased to that argument will also be modified: if the DLL function called above modifies its argument 1, the noun key and any noun aliased to key (possibly including private nouns in suspended verbs) will be changed. To protect yourself from such side-effects, you can use (a:{key) in place of key in the invocation of cd , which will make a temporary copy before calling the DLL.
Note that if your named argument has to be converted before it is passed to the DLL, any change made by the DLL will be in the copy and will not be reflected in your copy of the named argument. Since aliasing is usually considered a pernicious side-effect, this uncertainty will seldom trouble you. If for some reason you rely on the aliasing, you will need to ensure that the argument has the correct type. There is no officially-sanctioned way to do this, but as of J6.01 you can use monad <. to ensure that a value is an integer (for i descriptors) and monad _&<. to ensure that a value is floating-point (for d descriptors).

In this section we aim to be able to navigate autonomously. For that we use the images taken by the camera to find objects that need avoidance. We also use the lanes displayed by the image to stay within boundaries at all times. The detection of these features are learned through the use of the Detectron2 network, specifically their MaskRCNN model. These features are then passed into our car which uses this information to navigate autonomously with the help of ROS
We run our car manually (using a controller) across a track and keep recording images. The images can be seen on the left. We make sure to record the images at a limited frame per second so that we capture mostly distinct images to train our model. In our case the main features we want our model to detect are the cones and the lanes. The image collection and input is done with the help of ROS
We take the images collected earlier and start labelling them manually. You can see a labelling format in the image to the right. This is the COCO JSON format. We mainly use the segmentation information so that the model can accurately detect the lanes and cones down to it's shape
These images are now passed into a Detectron 2 MaskRCNN model for training. The MaskRCNN has already been trained on a more generalizable training data to detect objects. We are just fine tuning it to our specific use case. We try several parameters of learning rates, epochs and other useful parameters. The models are evaluated on an unknown validation data to see the generalizable performance of our models
Once we know which parameters work best we use that configuration's trained model for inference. You can see how the image which we took before is now labelled with confidence levels on the cones and the lanes. We can extract these boundary boxes and masks drawn over the lane and cone and use it for navigation
We extracted the masks and boundary boxes like mentioned in the step above. With a black and white image like this we search for the optimal point to move towards in the image (bounded by the lanes). Some images have 1 of the lanes missing. In that case we just assume that our car is far away from the missing lane and use the edges to form the white polygon you see in the left. Once we find the point to move towards we calculate a speed and steering angle which is passed into our speed controller with the help of ROS

Hiking is a kind of activity that walks from a place to another place in the countryside. Actually, hiking is a kind of activity that find more natural culture and make more friends instead of keep fit. Recently years, hiking is popular in Hong Kong especially in youngs. 'HiKing' is a group that provides much different hiking information to hiking enthusiasts or hiking novice. The meaning of ‘HiKing’ that hiking in Hong Kong.
Hiking shoes, Thick socks, Long-sleeved underwear, Bright coat, Loose pants, Windbreaker, Cap etc.
More....The time required for the trip can be made using NAISMITH'S LAW, which states that adults can take 5 kilometers per hour and another 600 meters an hour. In Hong Kong's itinerary, it is possible to take a 4 kilometer road every hour and another 100 feet a day.

Moving in
6/17/2018
Have decided to try this blog thing again. I've been on several blogging platforms before, but never
lasted because the more seriously I took it, the more frustrated I got with the lack of control and ability to
customize. This time I've decided to flip the problem on its head and start with a lean, custom approach.
Which of course means, I rolled my own blogging engine, which I can tinker with at the obvious expense of blogging on it.
- Everything will be in markdown, a format I've grown to enjoy while writing code documentation.
- Posts may be short and choppy, and I'll expand older posts where appropriate. This non-linear style will
hopefully suit my disjointed, non-linear way of thinking. Plus I've always liked the brevity of microblogging, though I feel
there needs to be something more verbose than Twitter.
- It needs to be hosted somewhere easy so I can move it somewhere else when the first hosting option invariably fails.
- No database please, databases are the Devil's toolshed. Flat files are just easier to work with when you're on a one-man-sized
project. One less major system to maintain, and much easier to version.
I ended up implementing it in the tools I know best (NodeJs + Assemble.io), and it was inspired by that seminal Phil Hawksworth
talk I saw at Coldfront '14.
It took six time longer then anticipated, but I anticipated one hour.


Credits
The main idea of this site is to provide functionality for building team setups.
I want to thank all those people created and maintaining Shop Heroes Spreadsheet for this is an incredible source of ingame data!
And I give my due respects to creators of Team Builder Redux for inspiring me to make this site.
Disclaimer
I developed this site to use it in offline mode, it uses Google.Firestore for authentication and data storage.
You can't get and thus share links on your setups, but you can share stored data between different media if you dare to register on a noname site.
This page is pure HTML and Javascript and most browsers cache files with initial content. If you see something is broken or missing - just force refresh browser with CTRL+F5. If the problem persists - email me.
This site is best used with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
This site can not be used with any version of Internet Explorer nor Microsoft Edge. Not until they make their code compatible with ES standards and jQuery.
Origins
Mark buildings boosts enabled/disabled.
Adjust buildings levels (no functionality implemented).
Adjust crown jewels upgrades levels according to your city for correct heroes power calculations.
Items
Blueprints with skills have checkboxes you can mark as mastered, so the skill will be applied to eqipped items.
You can filter all BPs with skills with filter options "Contains non-blanks".
Warning, you'll have to checkmark over hundred blueprints... I did it many times while developing this site.
Heroes
Adjust heroes levels and default gear you can apply to them after adding heroes to the team roster.
Expand hero for the exact info on skills, items and items skills applied to hero, as well as detailed info on items powers, break chances etc.
Collapsed profile shows summarized skills applied to a hero.
Teams
Looks mostly same as Heroes tab, has the same functionality, but with few changes.
When you add a hero to the roster it comes with no gear, then there's a button to copy default equipment.
You can choose quest and details with be added on how team and heroes will handle it.
Collapsed view shows summarized info on skills applied to whole team (i.e. Revival/Healer) while expanded view will show summarized info of individual hero.
Afterwords
You can help improving site's functionality! Send me email with your feedback to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>You can also contribute code and designs at Git Hub project page.
Have fun in the game!

FAIRNESS IS SOCIOTECHNICAL
Fairness of AI systems is about more than simply running lines of code.
In each use case, both societal and technical aspects
shape who might be harmed by AI systems and how.
There are many complex sources of unfairness and a variety of societal and technical processes for mitigation,
not just the mitigation algorithms in our library.
Throughout this website, you can find resources on how to think about fairness as sociotechnical,
and how to use Fairlearn's metrics and algorithms
while considering the AI system's broader societal context.
USE CASE | CREDIT-CARD LOANS
Assessment and mitigation of fairness issues in credit-card default models
When making a decision to approve or decline a loan, financial services organizations use a variety of models, including a model that predicts the applicant's probability of default.
These predictions are sometimes used to automatically reject or accept an application, directly impacting both the applicant and the organization.
In this scenario, fairness-related harms may arise when the model makes more mistakes for some groups of applicants compared to others.
We use Fairlearn to assess how different groups, defined in terms of their sex, are affected and how the observed disparities may be mitigated.

Micah Parsons Gives Justin Fields Props On Instagram: “Respect Earned”
by Matt LombardiOhio State took down Penn State on Saturday to clinch the Big Ten East, and it looks like the Justin Fields hype train got a new passenger in the process. Nittany Lions star defensive end Micah Parsons was apparently impressed by what he saw from the Buckeyes’ signal-caller.
Fields, who finished the game 16-of-22 for 188 yards with two touchdowns, took to Instagram after the game to celebrate the victory. Parsons commented on the post.
“Earned…I salute you…respect earned.”
Fields also added 68 yards on the ground. He was a problem for Penn State’s defense all day.
Parsons is a great player in his own right, and it’s likely that he winds up being a top NFL pick after his junior season.
Ohio State will face either Minnesota or Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game in two weeks. The Buckeyes have their rivalry game with Michigan next Saturday.
Penn State, meanwhile, will finish up its season against Rutgers. The Nittany Lions will likely finish the year with a 10-2 record.

The version 4.1 (code-named Key Largo) introduces minor binary incompatibilities with the previous versions. This document describes these incompatibilities and outlines the migration process for the client applications.
During the development of version 4.1, two published Substance painter interfaces have been changed to better accomodate the new functionality.
The paintTitleBackground
of
org.jvnet.substance.title.SubstanceTitlePainter
has been changed to the following signature:
public void paintTitleBackground(Graphics2D graphics, Component comp,
int width, int height, int leftTitleX, int rightTitleX,
SubstanceTheme theme, float borderAlpha);
The change is in the last parameter. Prior to version 4.1, it has been a
boolean
. The
value true
signified that the
painter should paint the border, and the value
false
signified that no
border should be painted. The last parameter in the new signature
specifies the alpha channel for border painting.
What does this mean to applications? There are two cases:
true
, set an
AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER
with
the matching alpha value before painting the border. A possible optimization
would be to not paint the border at all when the last parameter is
0.0
.false
as the last
parameter, should pass 0.0
.
All the places that passed true
as the last parameter, should pass
1.0
. In addition, you can set a
custom alpha channel value to have greater control over the border painting
of title painters.The paintBorder
of
org.jvnet.substance.border.SubstanceBorderPainter
has been changed to the following signature:
public void paintBorder(Graphics g, Component c, int width, int height,
Shape contour, Shape innerContour, ColorScheme colorScheme1,
ColorScheme colorScheme2, float cyclePos,
boolean useCyclePosAsInterpolation);
The change is the new innerContour
parameter. One of the new features
added in this release are border painters that paint
lighter inner borders.
What does this mean to applications? There are two cases:
org.jvnet.substance.border.InnerDelegateBorderPainter
.
See existing core painters for more details.null
which is respected by all core border painters or compute the properly inset
inner contour. In the later case, skins that use inner border painters
will respect that setting, which will result in better looking and more
consistent custom painting.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

//***The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. ***\\\Where can I get some?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Top court asks PIA to respond to NAB report
by Our CorrespondentISLAMABAD:
The Supreme Court has directed the Pakistan International Airline (PIA) to submit its response to the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) report, in which the accountability watchdog highlighted 33 issues plaguing the national flag carrier.
The court has also directed the PIA administration to submit details of PIA’s current deficit.
A two-member SC bench, comprising Justice Umar Ata Bandial and Justice Ijazul Ahsan, issued these instructions on Tuesday while hearing a case regarding sale of national assets at lower rates.
The bench also directed the airline to submit a comprehensive plan for its improvement.
NAB Additional Prosecutor General Nayyar Rizvi said NAB had highlighted 33 issues in its report. “Among these is also the issue of appointment of less qualified staff at the top management positions.”
Justice Ijazul Ahsan observed that the PIA faced billions of rupees loss due to awarding of free tickets. Apart from the employees, unauthorised people were also given free tickets, he added.
Justice Bandial said the court needed a solution to the problem as it was trying to get the national institutions in the right direction. The purpose of the prosecution is not to harm anyone, he added.
He said the PIA is facing loss of billions of rupees every year. The revival of the national institution is a serious issue. Justice Ahsan said a serious plan was needed to run the PIA.
Bilal Minto – counsel for Shujaat Azeem, the former special assistant to PM on aviation – said he was ready to submit affidavit for removing of his client’s name. “He [Azeem] would, however, join the proceedings when the court decides,” he said.
Justice Ahsan asked the counsel to submit an affidavit, adding that the court would decide the matter after reviewing it. Later, hearing of the case was adjourned till date in office.

Equitas provides all kinds of services to its patients, including medical, pharmacy, behavioral health, dentistry, HIV supportive services, PrEP health navigation, HIV/STI testing, harm reduction and survivor support. Equitas in Athens serves the following counties: Athens, Belmont, Coshocton, Gallia, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington.
The Ryan White Part C Grant, better known as the “Linkage to Care Grant,” helps cover 13 counties in Ohio, seven in Kentucky and five in West Virginia.
Health care, by its definition, helps improve one’s quality of life. Daily, people pass different health care establishments, like doctor’s offices, clinics and health centers. However, health care in Southeast Ohio isn’t as easily accessible, creating several barriers.
Barriers: What do barriers look like in Southeast Ohio?
Transportation creates a barrier to care in Appalachia; and driving miles and miles can be cumbersome for individuals, especially when they don’t have the means for transportation, Aaron Wamsley, southeastern prevention programs manager at Equitas, said.
“We know that those individuals may not have access to a car, friends, transportation, and in Athens, there’s no public transportation to even get them that far to the medical console,” Wamsley said.
Ryan Grzybowski | For The Post
Aaron Wamsley works as the southeastern prevention programs manager at Equitas. Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at Equitas in Athens.
Jordyn Wells, a linkage to care specialists for Equitas in Portsmouth, Ohio, agrees that transportation creates a barrier to accessible health care. In Portsmouth, Wells said, people are not well-informed, especially when it comes to subjects that are STI-related or HIV-related.
“People just don't get it (HIV), and they really only think that one specific group can get it … there's also a multitude of other groups that can,” Wells said. “Education-wise, (there) is a huge barrier. Stigma is a huge barrier.  In reality, it's a blood borne pathogen, so anyone can really get it.”

HIV is a virus that attacks cells that help the body fight infection, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases, whereas AIDS is the late stage of an HIV infection that occurs when the body’s immune system is badly damaged because of the virus, according to HIV.gov.
Stigma and misunderstanding of HIV has created a barrier for people and even makes people shy away from health care, Wells said.

“The terms that doctors use … it's a hindrance, and people tend to not go and get health care because they're like, ‘They're going to talk down to me at the doctor’s, they're not going to actually help me, they're not going to understand me, they're not going to listen to me.’ There's a shyness of actual health care in this area where people just (say), ‘No, I don't need the doctor. I'm good. I don't need help,’” Wells said.
Urban vs. Rural: What’s the difference?
Genesis Vaughn, a prevention health navigation manager at Equitas, works in Columbus and has experienced noticeable discrepancies between Columbus and Athens when it comes to conversations about health care.
Ryan Grzybowski | For The Post
Genesis Vaughn is a prevention health navigation manager at Equitas and works in Columbus. Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at Equitas in Athens.
Access makes a huge difference when it comes to care in rural versus urban settings. Vaughn said Columbus has two Equitas medical centers, making it easier to find care and obtain an appointment.
She said it’s also easier to ask questions without fear of animosity in Columbus, and she has heard that possibilities of microaggressions, homophobia or ostracization within medical centers are a worry for clients in Southeast Ohio.
“If I go to a certain hospital or medical center, how am I going to be treated if I ask about PrEP? So, I would definitely say access is kind of a big component of that,” Vaughn said.
Wamsley believes there are many factors that put people at a disadvantage in Southeast Ohio that people don’t even recognize in bigger cities.
“It’s perpetuated, the stigma of HIV, the stigma of having an addiction,” Wamsley said.
There is a lack of providers in Region Six, Wamsley said. Specifically, there is a lack of providers who are prescribing antiretrovirals in the surrounding region. Wamsley said the closest HIV provider to prescribe medication to someone who needs it to live a long life is about 45 minutes to an hour away.
“There's also a disadvantage in education,” Wamsley said. “When I go to syringe exchange programs, oftentimes I am hearing ‘I'm not gay, I can't get HIV,’ but they're out of a syringe exchange program, and we know HIV is a blood borne pathogen. Therefore, if you're using the same needles as somebody, you're increasing your chances of getting HIV substantially. And it's baffling that there is a lack of education.”
If there is no education provided to those in a syringe exchange program, it will directly affect the community they are serving.
“I feel that most of the providers within the city limit would have at least some knowledge about better care for HIV management, rather than some individuals in Appalachia,” Wamsley said.
Urban cities notably have access to greater volumes of medical care, which creates apprehension in health care providers in rural areas to diagnose HIV to a patient when their focused-knowledge might be with Hepatitis C, Wamsley said.
A variety of barriers creates skewed perceptions of reality, introducing a stigma.
The Stigma: Why does it exist?
Rebecca Nelson is a non-medical case manager for Equitas in Athens and knows stigma resides in many, especially college students. Nelson said college students have struggled navigating their health because of the fear of being harassed when receiving health care from larger providers. Nelson said students are even apprehensive to try Equitas’ free HIV testing because of the fear of walking in the front door.

Rebecca Nelson is a non-medical case manager for Equitas. Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at Equitas in Athens.
“Why is there stigma in 2023? I think you can look at the national stage for that. It starts from the top down,” Nelson said.
Anonymous, a local resident of Hocking County who is using a pseudonym on the basis of privacy, is living with HIV. However, being HIV positive does not define who Anonymous is.
“It's not something I talk to people about. I don't advertise it. I work pretty diligently to hide it, even from the family,” Anonymous said. “It's not something that I advertise because there is such a big stigma ... I don’t want to be treated differently.”
Southeast Ohio borders what is referred to as the “Bible Belt,” and Wells and Wamsley both agree this has something to do with the stigma that is felt when talking about HIV.
While working at a prevention program at a K-12 school in Portsmouth, Wamsley said students were giggling about the condoms, when in reality, they were trying to teach the students about STIs.
“When you can hear a 13 year old little boy say, ‘I've learned more from you in five minutes than I have in my health class for an entire year,’ that speaks volumes,” Wamsley said. “When push comes to shove, people are going to worship Jesus over providing prevention and preventative services.”
Learning about health care varies in all areas, which aids in creating and maintaining the stigma.
“We're in the Bible Belt, and people are uninformed and don't understand,” Wells said.
Anonymous agrees that there is a religious aspect to the education people receive about HIV.
“A lot of that is the politics of it and that touches on the religious aspect of it. It's that way, on purpose,” said Anonymous.
A lack of local news also affects the knowledge of people in Appalachia, Anonymous said.
“Look at local papers; they're almost gone, extinct, because … everything comes down to money,” Anonymous said. “‘There's no money in it, so we're just gonna close it,’ instead of (keeping) the benefit of what it does to the community.”
Benefiting a community and keeping them educated is important, Nelson, Anonymous, Wells and Wamsley all agree, but the lack of education deepens a barrier and upholds the preconceived notion about forms of health care. It can start early-on.
In 2017, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, ran a summary report of state health education laws in Ohio. According to the report, which is the most recent on the CDC’s website and was last viewed in June 2018, there are no laws or regulations to inform students about HIV prevention.
The Process: How does one find care?
For some, like Salem Spinelli, a linkage to care specialist at Equitas in Athens, college meant having control and access to health care.
Kayla Bennett | Managing Editor
Salem Spinelli is a linkage to care specialist at Equitas in Athens. Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at Equitas in Athens.
“I would say when I got to college, my freshman year of college, I came from a family who really didn't practice medicine, so I was very excited to have access to that,” Spinelli said.
Care looks different for everyone, and as a case manager, Nelson’s experience differs with every client. Case management involves the intake of the client, conduction of a needs assessment, service planning and monitoring and evaluation of the continuum of care. Case management is the core to a really big spider web, Nelson said.
“For someone living with HIV, and are just newly diagnosed that comes into our case management, it can be a little overwhelming to sort it all out and to reassure folks that it's going to be OK, you're going to have support,” Nelson said.
Equitas offers a lot of support and does a lot of linkage to care when connecting with people inside and outside the agency. For example, Nelson said, Equitas might refer someone who might be living with addiction or substance abuse concerns to other community agencies that specialize in addiction and substance abuse. Case managers wear multiple hats when meeting new clients and working with existing ones.
“I think for somebody that's new to HIV, and they're coming in on our caseload, I always tell people, we help put the pieces together for them,” Nelson said. “Imagine being diagnosed HIV positive and you're told, ‘You need to figure out your pharmacy, you need to figure out your insurance, you need to figure out who your HIV-specific doctors are going to be and, oh, here's about 20 different support groups all over the state.’ It's very overwhelming.”
All health care experiences can look different for everyone.
The Experience: Does every experience look the same?
“For me, staying in care means living,” Anonymous said.
Anonymous moved to Southeast Ohio after living on both coasts of the U.S., and it was undoubtedly a culture shock; things are more simple, more conservative and nothing has changed since the ‘80s, Anonymous said.
“For me, staying in care means living.” —Anonymous
Anonymous needed HIV services, and after a quick search, found Equitas. Though Anonymous is receiving the services needed to live, there is a drawback to Equitas.
“I feel just with what Equitas is doing in the community is a very positive thing; it's certainly needed,” Anonymous said. “They could be a little more client-oriented instead of agency-oriented. There's sort of a disconnect with the appearance of themselves and the clients themselves.”
Equitas is an agency serving a plethora of locations and operates out of Columbus, so when maintaining relationships with its clients, there is always a stumbling block, Anonymous said. However, Anonymous believes when it comes down to the care Equitas provides, it is a much needed health care organization.
For Spinelli, the journey to find care has not always been easy.
“I was the first person that my provider has started on hormones and her language choice, did not love (that),” Spinelli said. “Language choice is so important and I didn't feel like awesomely safe and comfortable. I think that's just like a choice that a lot of trans people have to make.”
Vaughn believes care in Athens seemed difficult to receive. She drove all the way from Athens to Columbus to receive care because she wasn’t sure if the providers in Athens could adequately provide care that would cater to her not only as a transgender person, but also as a Black transgender person.
However, Vaughn said a lot of people write off Appalachia as “backwoods and backwards,” but that is what makes it that much important to understand. There are plenty of people of color, queer people, transgender people and people at risk or living with HIV in Appalachia, said Vaughn.
“We cannot write off these areas,” Vaughn said. “These are people who are disproportionately affected by all of these disparities in terms of gender affirming care, or being able to receive gender affirming care, being able to access comprehensive care for HIV and HIV prevention.”
It’s important to know these things aren’t worlds away, Vaughn said.
Finding care is a journey in itself, but so is maintaining care.
PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, can reduce one’s chance of getting HIV from sex or injection. PrEP is for everyone, and can be taken by anyone if their health care provider sees fit.
However, it’s not just “taking a pill,” Anonymous said, it’s dealing with the emotions and difficult side effects that come with taking the medication.
“Even if you were on the early medications (other HIV drugs), (there can be) permanent damage to … your kidney function, I have friends that are dealing with kidney issues now from drugs that they've taken in the ‘80s,” Anonymous said.
AZT, the first drug to treat HIV prevention, caused life-altering side effects to the people who took it when it was still available. However, with today’s HIV drugs, there are other life-altering neurological effects that people have to potentially deal with, but for some, that’s the only way for survival.
Because of the weight people carry day-to-day, support groups, especially in rural areas, are important to build a support group of people that know exactly what each other are going through.
“A lot of times, that's the lightbulb where you're like, ‘It's not just me that's dealing with that,’” Anonymous said. “Even if it just be the smallest little issue, you’re like ‘Oh, my god, somebody else is dealing with that too, I thought it was just me, (and) it turns out to be a side effect of the medication.’”
Support groups are extremely vital and can be a bridge to staying in care.
The Steps: What’s out there?
“I feel like we missed a lot of opportunities with college students not utilizing PrEP. PrEP is not just an LGBTQ-opportunity. It's for everyone,” Nelson said.
More people need to know about PrEP, Nelson said. In Athens, PrEP can be accessed by setting up an appointment with Equitas and starting the process of health navigation with a member of Equitas’ team.
There are an abundance of resources through the front door of Equitas: Ohio LGBTQ Health Provider Guide, HIV resources, Equitas medical and counseling services, information on different support groups, POZ magazines and more.
Support groups at Equitas include, but are not limited to, InTrasition, for those in gender affirming medical and/or social transition or thinking about transition; Living Positively, an open group offering support, encouragement and dialogue for those living with HIV or AIDS; and Chosen Family, which offers LGBTQ+ affirming education, resources and support for family and friends of people who have a relationship with substance use.
Equitas works for its clients, and the staff works to build a relationship with everyone that walks through the front doors.
“When they don’t have family, we’re the family,” Nelson said.


Bolivia's Morales warns of violence as opponents plan his removal
Interior minister also alleges a 'coup strategy' was under way as opposition calls for repeat of presidential vote.
Bolivia's government has accused its rivals of plotting deadly violence against it after an opposition figure vowed to overthrow leftist President Evo Morales and called for the military's support.
Deadly unrest has gripped the South American country since Morales was named winner of the October 20 election, giving him a fourth term.
His opponents have branded the result a fraud and Carlos Mesa, who ran against Morales in the recent polls, has called for a new vote to be held.
"We believe... that the best solution to this crisis in the current circumstances is a new election, administered by an impartial new (electoral body) and with rigorous observation of the international community," Mesa said on Sunday.
Late on Saturday, a conservative opposition leader in the eastern Santa Cruz region threatened to drive Morales out.

"He has 48 hours to step down, because at 7pm (23:00 GMT) on Monday, we are going to take decisive action right here and we are going to make sure that he goes," Luis Fernando Camacho told a gathering of supporters.
He called on the military to "be on the side of the people".
Morales responded by accusing his opponents of seeking bloodshed.

"They want people to be killed by the police and the military," he said in a televised interview.
Interior Minister Carlos Romero alleged a "coup strategy" was under way.
He told reporters the government had intelligence "indicating that a violent confrontation is being prepared" for Monday night near the presidential palace in La Paz.
"Whoever asks for military intervention is asking for blood and is asking for death," Romero said.
History of coups
Camacho did not specify what kind of action he had in mind. His supporters have previously taken over public buildings.
The military has so far stayed neutral in the electoral dispute but calling on it to intervene is a delicate move in Bolivia.
The country saw numerous military uprisings and dictatorships before civilian rule was established in 1982.
Morales is looking to remain in power until 2025 with a fourth term.
His election win was ratified by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal - but only after an abrupt and unexplained shift in the vote count in his favour.
The Organization of American States is carrying out an audit of the vote but the opposition has rejected that as a distraction to help Morales hold on to power.
Bolivia's constitution limits a president to two successive terms. But the constitutional court authorised Morales to stand for a fourth mandate.
The court, like the election tribunal, is made up of members appointed by Morales's Movement for Socialism.
The interior minister last week said two demonstrators had been killed in clashes. State authorities say 140 people have been hurt in the unrest.
Unrest has also erupted in recent weeks in other Latin American countries, including neighbouring Chile and Ecuador where protesters are angry at rising inequality.


Students for the Exploration and Development of Space was founded in 1980 at MIT, Princeton University, and Yale University by Peter Diamandis, Robert D. Richards, and Todd B. Hawley and consists of an international group of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from a diverse range of educational backgrounds with their common interest towards space. SEDS envisions a space-faring human civilization and believes that the only way to achieve this would be to utilize the immense potential of our youth by empowering them. We, here, at SEDS India, aim to flicker the slightest interest that everyone has about space. We take a step forward to educate and inspire people to understand more about space.
Students for the Exploration and Development of Space or SEDS, for short, is a non–profit, independent student-based international organization which, true to our namesake, is dedicated to expanding our role in the development and exploration of space. SEDS-India, with its headquarters at VIT University, is the governing body of SEDS in India. It was started in 2004 at PIIT, Mumbai by Mr. Pradeep Mohandas, and Mr. Abhishek Ray. SEDS India is run by students, with chapters in VIT University (Headquarters), VELTECH Engineering College, SASTRA University, BITS Goa, Rajalakshmi Engineering College, and Kumaraguru College of technology and many more. Each chapter is responsible for making the vast concept of space widely acceptable among the young minds, with a vision to expand the frontiers of space exploration. Space, being the vast entity it is, holds so much that is yet to be discovered. The resources are infinite. This knowledge has to be spread across the nation. The fastest way is to enlighten the bright minds of today to ensure a safe tomorrow.
One of the chapter’s main objectives is to generate interest by, educating people about the infinite possibilities of space, supporting a network of interested students. This is achieved through various seminars, conferences, and hosting workshops. The Core directly interacts with the students regarding various aspects of space. It is responsible for regularizing and organizing such events on mainstream ideas about space. The organization has also garnered quite the attention among students.
The Outreach is responsible for organizing sessions in various schools forming space clubs as part of the "OneSpace" initiative where the kids are taught about basics regarding space starting with why astronomy is important to us till the big bang theory. It covers all the myriad topics which are taught keeping the age and prior knowledge of children in mind. The presenters are also a group of SEDS members who are also space enthusiasts.
Projects Team try to explore various viable possibilities in the field of space and turn them into pursuable projects and research. The teams participate in different competitions such as ERC (European Rover Challenge), where rovers are built to withstand the harsh surfaces and circumstances on Mars and CANSAT, where a typical aerospace system is built, but in a comparatively smaller scale. The teams are also recognized for the projects and research work they take up individually or as part of reputed research institutes in the country.
