Disable `Experiment support`

If you have still trouble in wlan firmware, then use `falling back to user helper`.
(I don't use this, but it might be help, and I've confirmed it works)

```txt

##### firmware

Make sure firmware and drivers for network device.

```bash
$ modinfo iwlwifi

cell phone fragrance system Digital cameras are big sellers for Japanese electronic companies. As of 2006, Japanese companies produced 80 percent of the world's digital cameras. Many manufacturers have suffered though as result of stiff competition and low prices.
In July 2008, a company called Plaza Create began selling a disposable digital camera with recyclable liquid crystal panels taken from old cell phones. The 27-exposure camera sell for about $12. A 50-exposure model, $14.
Cell phones in Japan are arguably the most advanced found anywhere. They have high resolution screens that produce sharp images and third generation networkz that allow use to shift through pages quickly. The only problem is in many cases Japanese phones can not be used outside of Japan.
In 2000, cell phones showed rock concerts with no sound. Still images flashed quickly so they looked almost like a video. In 2001, Kyocera introduced mobile video phones with a small digital camera on the back that allowed people to send pictures of themselves to friends with the same kind of phone. Costing $335 when it was introduces, the phone was as small and compact as other cell phones. The images though were often jiggly.
Japanese initially didn't take to the Internet on personnel computers with same enthusiasm as Americans but they quickly took to the Internet on the cell phones in a big way. In 2000, there were more than 40,000 web sites specifically designed for cell phones.
In 2001, Japan introduced the "third generation" of cell phone technology with great clarity and the ability to transmit data and video on color screens. The 3G technology made cell phones into wallet-sized PCs and portable play stations and with that came ring that sounded like the roar of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, services that allowed users to check their Pachinko reaction times and security systems that allow them to eavesdrop on their pets or check their house for possible intruders.
In the mid 2000s, Sony-Ericsson introduced Walkman cell phones that were like a cross between a cell phone, an iPod and a high resolution digital camera. Casio introduced models that were shockproof and waterproof and could be worn in the shower or on a scuba dive. Models for children had GPS so parents could figure out where they were.
Japan's "Galapagos syndrome" is a phrase first coined to characterize the nation's highly evolved but globally incompatible cell phones. The term is now applied to other isolated industries, even to its people. In 2009, the global market share of Japanese cell phone makers combined was only three percent.
"Japanese companies have been so pioneering in many fields, but they have failed to build a global business" of handsets, Gerhard Fasol told the New York Times. He is chief executive of Eurotechnology, a Tokyo firm that advises companies on global mobile and telecommunications strategy. "What you need is a global infrastructure," Mr. Fasol said, "and Japanese handset makers have nothing." The handset makers "need to stop worrying about the carriers and start thinking more globally," said Shuichi Iizuka, a telecommunications analyst at the ISB Institute, based just south of Tokyo.
With the domestic market shrinking Japanese cell phone manufacturers are beginning to gear up for more for markets abroad with smartphones with several firms including Panasonic , NEC, Casio and Sharp offering products in early 2011. Many of the Japanese producers will use the Google Android system and thus not handicapped by system that using a system that only works in Japan.
Smartphone shipments in Japan in fiscal year 2010-2011 (market share) : 1) Apple (37.8 percent); 2) Sharp (24.3 percent); 3) Sony-Ericcson (9.8 percent); 4) Samsung (9 percent); 5) Fujitsu (8.8 percent); 6) NEC Casio (3.2) percent ); and Others (7.1 percent). [Source: MM Research Institute).
In the fall of 2010 NTT Docomo, KDDI and SoftBank all began aggressive drives to push their smartphones. They all had new models of phones and new services and aps and promised plans to introduce super-fast service. Docomo began pushing waterpoof phones with e-money functions. Their Galaxy S smartphones were made by Samsung. As of May 2011, KDDI had launched six Android smartphones, including Sharp-produced Inforbar A01 and the Sony-Ericsson-produced Xperia. Softbank's profits have surged on the popularity of its exclusive deal marketing Apple's iPhones.
In May 2011. Docomo released a new line-up of smartphones, including new versions of the popular Samsung Galaxy, Harp introduced the Aquos phone, which allows users to see 3-D images iwthout glassesm and NEC-Casio launched the super-slim, waterproof Medias smartphone.
Japan electronics manufacturers provide many key parts for smartphones: Toshiba makes flash-memory devices; Elpida makes DRAM chips and Renesas makes chips, microprocessors and micorcontrollers for smartphones and other next-generation devices. All of the of these companies are putting their factories into overdrive to keep up with demand. South Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers also make many of the same parts. Recently Apple has been turning more and more to Japanese electronics companies for parts as it other main supplier--- Samsung--- is using many of its parts to make products that rival those of Apple.
Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co. controls about 90 percent of the global market for ultrathin copper foils used in smart phones.
Internationally the shares of Japanese companies in the handset market is relatively low compared to Nokia of Finland, Motorola of the United States and Samsung of South Korea. Nokia and Motorola, the No. 1 and No. 2 cell phone makers in the world have a very small presence in Japan. Vodaphone tried, gave up, sold out and left. These companies have not succeeded in part because their products are not up to the quality of their Japanese counterparts. In 2008, Nokia announced it was withdrawing from Japan due to it inability to crack the market there.
Top cell phone makers in Japan in 2007: 1) NEC (17.1 percent); 2) Panasonic (14.1 percent); 3) Sharp (12.9 percent); 4) Sanyo (12.4 percent); 5) Fujitsu (10.9 percent); 6) Sony Ericsson (7.7 percent); 7) Toshiba (7.1 percent); 8) Mitsubishi (6.5 percent); 9) Casio (4.7 percent); 10) Kyocera (3.6 percent); 11) Others (2.7 percent).
The cell phone handset industry in Japan is very competitive. As of early 2008 there were about 10 handset manufacturers and the industry was ripe for a major shake up. Soon after the start of the year Mitsubishi Electric announced it was going to stop make handsets and Kyocera bought Sanyo's handset division.
Disney introduced handsets in Japan with great expectations, with special designs aimed at girls and young women and special buttons that can be pushed to gain access to shopping sights.
Cloud-computing---Internet-based computing in which shared resources, software and other devices are on demand---is becoming a market issue in Japan. The process began with American giants such as Amazon and Google pushing their services in Japan with Japanese and electronic companies such as NEC and Fujitsu fighting back to stake their claim in the industry. Cloud computing appeals to clients because they can hire firms to provide a range of services online and they don't to need to maintain their own servers and IT experts.
There is a lot of competition, research and development in the lithium-ion batteries, which are widely seen as the power source in hybrids and electric cars in the future as well a range of other devices. They are smaller, lighter and have greater power-storage than the nickel hydride batteries now used in most hybrid vehicles. A number of top Japanese companies, including Hitachi, Toshiba, NEC and Sanyo and others, have produced or are planning to produce factories capable of producing lithium-ion batteries for cars.
Electronic companies---particularly Panasonic and Toshiba, Japan's leading light bulb makers---have profited from the shift from incandescent light bulbs to longer-lasting and more energy-efficient LED (light emitting diode) bulbs.
New video cameras introduced in 2010 included the $1,300 Panasonic HDC-TM7, capable of filming 41 hours in full high definition, $1,100 Canon Ivus Hf M31, with a device that corrects for shaking, and the $1,300 Victor-JVC Everio GZ-HM570 with wireless Bluetooth protocol that enables remote operation.


Viral pathogen discovery is critically important to clinical microbiology, infectious diseases, and public health. During 2012-13 there was an outbreak of unknown etiology affecting farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in southern Chile. Clinical inspection and conventional diagnostic methods (PCR, cell and bacterial culture, immunofluorescence) failed to detect any known infectious agents, and transmission microscopy micrographs suggested the presence of viral particles in many organs. Here we present the results of a meta-transcriptomics analysis of two infected individuals and one control on spleen, muscle, heart, and brain tissues. Using high-throughput sequencing and our Absolute*Discovery pipeline on rRNA depleted Total RNA preparations, we found the presence of a new salmonid alphavirus described for the first time in Chile. This study demonstrates the utility of high-throughput sequencing and novel computational techniques to the study of emerging infectious agents in animal production.


I really think it was this disabled guy people mistook for an alien.
The Pink Dolphin shapeshifts into a human stud and impregnates girls. Riiiight. "No dad, I don't have a boyfriend, it was the dolphin!"
Ah! Nang Nak! Yeah, i've heard about it a long time ago. She's pretty much like "Si Manis jembatan Ancol" (The beauty from Ancol Bridge). But the difference is, this Ancol Bridge ghost is a girl who got raped, traumatized & commited a suicide by jumping off, well, the Ancol Bridge. Since then, she haunts the Ancol Bridge & seduce any male-soon-to-be-victim.
1) Shadow figure in a dark hallway in a two-story apartment. One night I was going to the living room and walked into, or near, a shadow figure causing me to hide in my bed like a coward. Creeped out so badly I can still remember it to this day. Been years ago....2003 or 2004 or so.
2) Hearing Native Indian or bango drums being banged on in a park named "Mud Lake" in Ottawa. It seemed out of place and kept on going until me and a friend made a sound. It was being played on until I made a sound to some hikers in that park. It was around 2004 or so.
Also, there is a landmark in Ottawa that is haunted by old founders of the city at the old building next to the Rideau Locks.
- Bytown Museum -> http://goo.gl/maps/UAbvE - Weird banging, lights fixtures moving, things rattling, and computers spamming names of old founders. Also loud walking on stairways.
Recently, i bought a book. "Indonesian Ghost 101" or "101 Ghost/mythical creatures of Indonesia". But i found something interesting: Nyi Blorong / madame Blorong. Think about a Lamia, a female with a serpent body from her waist downwards, but with ancient Javanese outfit. Maybe Lamia is inspired from this? Or vice versa? I dunno.

Volunteers of America to leave Lewellen, Garden County after 38 years
Volunteers of America, which has been helping children and families in need in Garden County since 1984, announced the closure of VOA's Western Nebraska office in Lewellen.
A national religious non-profit organization founded in 1896, the organization cited financial and staffing issues in its decision.
David Shumway, senior director of development and communications at the organization's Northern Rockies office in Sheridan, Wyoming, said the company is working with community partners to transfer preschool and childcare services to other users.
"Unfortunately, like many nonprofits today, we are facing declining donations, leading to underfunding for our programs, as well as the impact of inflation and staffing challenges. ," he said in an email to The Telegraph.
VOA "remained in financial trouble" during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.
VOA West Nebraska closed its community closet recycling store in nearby Oshkosh on Dec. 9, Shumway said.
Llewellen's VOA Community Food Pantry, which serves eight counties, will change its hours of operation from 8 a.m. to noon until it is fully closed on Jan. 13, he said. The hours posted on the company's website were 10am to 4pm, Monday through Thursday.
Shumway said VOA provides preschool and childcare services by co-locating primary schools in several Panhandle districts.
The organization wants to find a new provider because it "recognizes the importance of affordable services to support working families."
VOA Western Nebraska worked with local school districts to launch the Sixpence Family Engagement Home Visiting Program in 2015. According to its website, it helps at-risk infants and young children by teaching families to "nurture positive family dynamics."
Shumway says VOA hopes to find someone to take over Sixpence. The service will continue to be offered "until we can transition" at the Oshkosh thrift store site at 112 Main His Street, he said.

Q: Error: Inaccessible due to its protection level This is an example from MSDN which is from the portion explaining 'protected'member access modifier. My question is, why I am getting compile error, if I  modifying this program like in Example II,
Example I
class A
{
    protected int x = 123;
}

class B : A
{
    static void Main()
    {
        A a = new A();
        B b = new B();

        b.x = 10;
    }
}

Example II
class A
{
    protected int x = 123;
}

//MODIFICATION IN BELOW 2 LINES
class B : A{}
class program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        A a = new A();
        B b = new B();

        b.x = 10;
    }
}

Compiler Error for Example II :
d:\MyProgs>csc _13protected.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2010 Compiler version 4.0.30319.1
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

_13protected.cs(14,15): error CS0122: 'A.x' is inaccessible due to its
        protection level
_13protected.cs(3,23): (Location of symbol related to previous error)

d:\MyProgs>

A: protected means it's not visible outside of the class itself, only in the class itself or derived classes.
In your first example it works because your main method is part of the derived class.
In your second example, your are trying to access a protected member outside of its class, which is not possible. If you want to make this possible, x should be declared public.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bcd5672a.aspx for more information about what protected means.

A: Read the definition of access modifiers and you will get your answer.
public: The type or member can be accessed by any other code in the same assembly or another assembly that references it.
private: The type or member can be accessed only by code in the same class or struct.
protected: The type or member can be accessed only by code in the same class or struct, or in a class that is derived from that class.
internal: The type or member can be accessed by any code in the same assembly, but not from another assembly.

A: You need to pay attention to actual classes where access to protected field happens.
In second example you are trying to access b.X from the program class, which is not allowed by "protected" modifier, as program class doesn't inherit from A.
On the other hand, In first example actuall access to b.X happened in B class, which inherits from A, therefore access is allowed by "protected" modifier.

Neighbourhood News Desk/Avi Arya: Man tore the ear lobes of a 47-year-old woman while pulling out her gold earrings on a busy road in west Delhi, leaving her grievously injured and in need of plastic surgery. Incident happened near Uttam Nagar (east) Metro station at around 6 pm on Tuesday, when Vandana Sharma, who lives nearby, was returning home from a relative's funeral in north Delhi's Shakti Nagar.
Robber's escape was captured by a CCTV camera installed nearby, but he remains unidentified as the footage only showed his back, said Santosh Kumar Meena, additional deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka district). Police figures show that snatching and robberies in the city dipped in 2017, compared to the previous year, snatchers have been turning violent of late.

Sometimes unloading data and working from a flat file performs far better than a query run over and over or some "monster query". Yours does not appear to be a "monster" by itself, but the number of executions would surely drive up the cost.

Esapekka Lappi, född 17 januari 1990 i Pieksämäki, är en finländsk professionell rallyförare som kör för M-Sport Ford i WRC.

Han har tidigare tävlat för Citroën Total World Rally Team, Toyota Gazoo Racing och Škoda Motorsport.

Karriär

Tidig karriär

Karting och rallysprint

Lappi inledde sin karriär med karting där han blev finsk mästare i ICA-klassen 2007. Samma år debuterade han i rally, när han som 17-åring körde en rallysprint med en Opel Astra. Året därpå körde han 21 rallysprintar och vann alla.

Finska juniormästerskapet i rally
Under 2009 och 2010 tävlade han i finska mästerskapet i en Honda Civic Type-R i juniorklassen, där han kom på tredjeplats 2010. Samma år anslöt Janne Ferm som co-driver för Lappi, en position han har haft sedan dess.

Even Management
2011 bytte han till en Citroën C2 R2 Max, och vann R2-klassen i finska VM-rallyt. I slutet av året fick han kontrakt med Even Management, ett norskt managementföretag inom motorsport från Kongsvinger som också förvaltar Andreas Mikkelsen, Pontus Tidemand, Johan Kristoffersson och Ole-Christian Veiby.

Med Even Management i ryggen tog han 2012 steget till fyrhjulsdrivna bilar, då han fick tillgång till en Ford Fiesta i S2000-klassen. Han vann alla deltävlingar i finska mästerskapet och kårades till finsk mästare 2012.

Škoda Motorsport
Hans framgångar i Finland, tillsammans med ett bra stöd från Even Management gjorde att han blev kontrakterad av Škoda Motorsport i oktober 2012. Han vann sin första tävling med teamet samma höst, Rally Polen 2012, i en Škoda Fabia S2000.

Under 2013 deltog Lappi i hela säsongen av Asiatiska mästerskapet för Škoda, blandat med utvalda tävlingar i WRC-2, underklassen i WRC som körs med R5-bilar som är motorsvagare än WRC-bilar, och ERC (EM). Han vann tre av sex deltävlingar i Asiatiska mästerskapet och slutade på en total andraplats bakom sin teamkollega, indiern Gaurav Gill.

I ERC deltog han bara i tre asfaltstävlingar och vann en av dem, Rallye International du Valais i Schweiz. Han kom på en total femte plats i mästerskapet.I WRC-2 deltog han också i tre tävlingar och vann klassen i Rally de Portugal där han också kom på en total 10:e plats, och tog därigenom sin första VM-poäng.

2014 körde han hela EM-serien, ERC, där han korades till europeisk mästare efter vinster i deltävlingarna i Lettland, Nordirland och Schweiz.

Året därpå, 2015, fortsatte han i Škoda Motorsport som till året utvecklat en ny Skoda Fabia till R5-klassen, den klass som används i både WRC-2 mästerskapet, ERC och många regionala mästerskap. Han vann två deltävlingar i WRC-2, Polen och Finland, och avslutade säsongen på en total tredje plats i mästerskapet, bakom vinnaren Nasser Al-Attiyah från Qatar och tvåan Yuriy Protasov från Ukraina. När han vann klassen i Rally Finland slutade han också på sin dittills bästa totalplacering i en VM-tävling då han kom på en åttondeplats.

2016 blev det återigen full säsong i WRC-2 kategorin för Lappi, även denna gång med Škoda Motorsport. Han deltog i alla deltävlingar och vann fyra - Finland, Tyskland, Storbritannien och Australien. Det räckte för att vinna mästerskapet med 10 poäng före tvåan Teemu Suninen.

Toyota Gazoo Racing
Inför säsongen 2017 blev Lappi kontrakterad som tredjeförare av Toyota Gazoo Racing inför Toyotas återkomst i WRC efter 17 års frånvaro. Eftersom Toyota inte hann bygga en tredje bil till Lappi inledde han säsongen först i Portugal i maj. I sin andra tävling i bilen, på Sardinien, tog han sex sträcksegrar, däribland sin första någonsin och slutade på en total fjärde plats.

I sin fjärde start för teamet tog han sin första, och teamets andra, totalseger i WRC då han vann Rally Finland.

Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah has reiterated his eagerness to include players who are performing at club level into his final squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations which is set to kick-off on June 21.
With seventy one (71) days to the start of the continent's biggest football mundial, Ghana's leading football portal, GHANASoccernet.com presents five players who have stood out for their respective clubs throughout this term and should be considered for selection in Kwesi Appiah's squad for the biennial tournament in Egypt.
The Asante Kotoko gloves man has been one of the in-form players on the local scene despite the troubles and long period of inactivity. Annan has come on in leaps and bounds and has earned his stripes. In fact, his career has been on the ascendency. After leaving WAFA SC (then Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord Academy) to Kotoko, he was down the pecking order and so had to be loaned out to Real Tamale United [Division One League side] for first team experience. He was recalled by the Porcupine Warriors after a season but game time wasn't guaranteed.
He returned to his first professional club WAFA and worked under Dutchman John Killa who played a pivotal role in his development during his days in the academy. The rest is history.
Annan was first choice and truly became a reliable one for the Sogokope-based side on their return to the Ghana top-flight. His exploits between the sticks forced Kotoko to recall him and studious goalkeeper has never looked back since. His performances and experience garnered in the 2018/2019 CAF Confederation Cup give him the requisite exposure to chase his AFCON dream. Kwesi Appiah gave him chances in two games and grabbed it with both hands including the second half performance in the friendly win over Mauritania in March at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Annan is agile, a shot-stopper, a commander at the back and inspirational. Qualities that fit him like a glove and should make one of the three goalkeepers for the tournament in Egypt.
This 21-year-old playmaker has an ounce of genius in his boots. He currently plays for Swiss Super League side FC St Gallen where is a household name. Ashimeru was a tzar in the Ghana Premier League for WAFA SC- their livewire and talisman. He is often remembered for two goals- the messi-esque one against All Stars in Wa and the long range thunderbolt in the 5-0 drubbing of Hearts of Oak at Sogokope.
He signed for Red Bull Salzburg but was shipped out on loan to second-tier side Austria Lustenau where he played for just six months [scored one goal in 11 matches] only to be 'upgraded' to the Austrian top-flight during the January transfer window. He was snapped by by Wolfsberger AC to finish the 2017/2018 season. At WAC, he scored two goals in 15 appearances.
St Gallen were monitoring and put in a request for his services on a season-long loan move and currently he has three goals in 26 appearances. His creativity is making him an assist king the club.
Ashimeru got a call-up for the tie against Ethiopia in the AFCON qualifiers but was an unused substitute. He is proven to be a star for the future and a Nations Cup experience could help in moulding him into a global icon.
He showed prospects of playing top-tier European football during his days at Inter Allies where he later became captain. Aidoo is rugged, good in aerial ball clearances and very comfortable with the ball at his feet. He is 23 now and currently plays for Belgian giants Genk.
Aidoo was adjudged the best defender in Sweden in 2017 after enchanting and consistent performances for Hammarby.
This season, the centre back has not lacked game. He has featured prominently as he ended the regular season with 29 appearances and scored one goal.
He made his Ghana debut last month against Mauritania in the friendly at the Accra Sports Stadium and he put up an impressive showcase to play the entire duration.
Am talking about the top foreign scorer in Egyptian Premier League history. In November last year, he tallied 63 goals after scoring a hat-trick for Misr Lel-Makkasa in their 4-3 win against Enppi. So what is the point? He has played on every grass in Egypt since 2013 and scored on each of them. In summary, his inclusion should make him like a 'tour guide' for the Black Stars as Ghana seek to end the trophy drought. It's also not just about a compassionate call-up but the boy has proven to be a serial goal scorer on that soil.
Antwi has divided opinion simply because he does not play in the glamorous leagues but history has proven that winning the Africa Cup of Nations has got nothing to do with your league affiliation. He will feel at home and will not play with any pressure in front of the crowd so that's where he gets the wild-card selection.
That aside, he is one of the dreaded goal poachers in the Egyptian top-flight where the quality is high. His former club Al Ahly want to re-sign him. Rivals Zamalek are waiting in the wings and they are offers pouring in from the gulf.
The 23-year-old is one of the sought-after playing in the Belgian top-flight after a successful campaign this term for Waasland-Beveren. Seven goals in 21 appearances during the regular season speaks volumes. He speed, irrepressible confidence, unyielding bravery and the knack for scoring goals should get him a slot. He provides the options of a productive right winger who will not only whip in the crosses or raid the flank but one with the ability to score.
Kwesi Appiah handed him his full debut in November 2017 against Egypt during the final 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium and he was explosive but short-lived. A nasty head injury after 40 minutes ended his adventure.

Q: What is the best way to implement a bias node to my python/numpy neural network? I built a numpy only neural network originally based on an online tutorial and have come to realise that I should have some kind of bias neuron. However I have really been struggling to figure out how to implement it into my code and would greatly appreciate some guidance.
import numpy as np

class NN():
    def __init__(self, layers, type):
        """
        layers: a list of layers, eg:
              2 input neurons
              1 hidden layer of 3 neurons
              2 output neurons
              will look like [2,3,2]
        type: initialisation type, "random" or "uniform" distribution
        """

        self.p = 0.1

        self.layers = len(layers) - 1

        self.inputSize = layers[0]
        self.outputSize = layers[self.layers]

        self.layerSizes = layers[:-1] #input layer, hiddens, discard output layer

        self.inputs = np.zeros(self.inputSize, dtype=float)
        self.outputs = np.zeros(self.outputSize, dtype=float)

        self.L = {}

        if type == "random":
            for i in range(1,self.layers+1):
                if i < self.layers:
                    self.L[i] = (np.random.ranf(( self.layerSizes[i-1] , self.layerSizes[i] )).astype(np.float) - 0.5) * 2
                else:
                    self.L[i] = (np.random.ranf(( self.layerSizes[i-1] , self.outputSize )).astype(np.float) - 0.5)*2
        elif type == "uniform":
            for i in range(1,self.layers+1):
                if i < self.layers:
                    self.L[i] = np.random.uniform( -1 , 1 , (self.layerSizes[i-1],self.layerSizes[i]) )
                else:
                    self.L[i] = np.random.uniform( -1 , 1 , (self.layerSizes[i-1],self.outputSize) )

        else:
            print("unknown initialization type")

    def updateS(self): #forward propogation Sigmoid
        for i in range(1,self.layers+1):
            if 1 == self.layers:  #dodgy no hidden layers fix
                self.z = np.dot(self.inputs, self.L[i])
                self.outputs = ( self.sigmoid(self.z) - 0.5)*2
            elif i == 1:  #input layer
                self.z = np.dot(self.inputs, self.L[i])
                self.temp = self.sigmoid(self.z)
            elif i < self.layers: #hidden layers
                self.z = np.dot(self.temp, self.L[i])
                self.temp = self.sigmoid(self.z)
            else: #output layer
                self.z = np.dot(self.temp, self.L[i])
                self.outputs = ( self.sigmoid(self.z) - 0.5)*2

    def sigmoid(self, s):
        #activation funtion
        return 1/(1+np.exp(-s/self.p))

A: Bias is just a variable you add to each neuron as you progress through the neural network feed forward process. Thus the feed forward process from one neuron layer to the next will be the sum of all the weights multiplied by the previous neuron that feed into the next neuron, then the bias of that neuron will be added, or:
output = sum(weights * inputs) + bias
To put this into context, look at the picture below:

where:
X1: Input value 1.
X2: Input value 2.
B1n: Layer 1, neuron n bias.
H1: Hidden layer neuron 1.
H2: Hidden layer neuron 2.
a(…): activation function.
B2n: Layer 2, neuron n bias.
Y1: network output neuron 1.
Y2: network output neuron 2.
Y1out: network output 1.
Y2out: network output 2.
T1: Training output 1.
T2: Training output 2.

when working out H1, you would need to use the following formula:
H1 = (X1 * W1) + (X2 * W2) + B11

Note that is is before the value for the neuron has been completely calculated via the activation function.
Therefore, im pretty sure that the bias would be entered within the feed forward function:
def updateS(self): #forward propogation Sigmoid
        for i in range(1,self.layers+1):
            if 1 == self.layers:  #dodgy no hidden layers fix
                self.z = np.dot(self.inputs, self.L[i])
                self.outputs = ( self.sigmoid(self.z) - 0.5)*2
            elif i == 1:  #input layer
                self.z = np.dot(self.inputs, self.L[i])
                self.temp = self.sigmoid(self.z)
            elif i < self.layers: #hidden layers
                self.z = np.dot(self.temp, self.L[i])
                self.temp = self.sigmoid(self.z)
            else: #output layer
                self.z = np.dot(self.temp, self.L[i])
                self.outputs = ( self.sigmoid(self.z) - 0.5)*2

by adding a value to the end of the self.z values. I think these values can be anything you want as a bias simply moves the intercept of the linear equation


1. Nope, I haven't made the cocoa recipes yet. Can't promise when I'll get around to that, just too much other stuff on my plate right now.
2. The inside of my cards today are totally blank. The ribbon I used is cut to fit the front only.
3. What Copic markers should you purchase? Check this link out by Debbie Olson HERE. She has taken a lot of time to provide a great wealth of information about Copics. Great advice Debbie, and thank you for compiling it all in once place!
Do you always find yourself needing some last minute holiday gifts? JustRite to the rescue. Follow along with our blog hop to see some last minute gifts you can whip up in a flash.
You probably have enough card making supplies to keep you busy for years, am I right? Nod your head yes. The only thing I can think that you might need.......if you're like me.......is a magic fairy to come along to clean up your stamp area and give you a little more stamping space! And pray that she arrives with a big dump truck! ;) Hey, I see a 12" clean spot on my stamping table......let's get stampin' girls!
And I'll also be using the JustRite stamp set called Christmas Treasures Borders and Centers. I love the cardinal image with the bird house. I started out by stamping my images with Palette Black Noir ink. If you find that you're picking up a little of the stamp edges, go ahead and trim your stamp image like what I've done in the photo. I made easy work of my main images by punching them out with a Giga scalloped square punch. I then colored my images with my Copic Sketch markers.
Next up, I decided what products I wanted to use for my cards and created a simply design. I chose to use a Making Memories patterned paper that has perfect coordinating red cardinals in the design. I found mine at Michael's in a paper pad. For my card base, I used PTI Kraft and stamped a Hero Arts Woodgrain background stamp in PTI Fresh Snow. It's so fun to use your supplies that coordinate. The woodgrain background mimics the woodgrain in the bird house image.
Next, I assembled my cards and then went straight for my stash of embellishment goodies. I used Papertrey's Scarlet Jewel ribbon and Vintage Buttons, Stickles, Vintage Glass Glitter and Glossy Accents. Yes, all that! On my pretty bird image, I used Stickles and the glass glitter to create snow on the bird house. Glossy Accents was used to add shine to the holly and berries. Oh, I used a white gel pen also to dot the cardinal's eye so it stood out a little better.
Here's one of my finished cards. You can see that I also added Vintage Buttons tied with twine.
And here's my little stash of cards. A little tip for you: When creating cards to give as gifts, try to keep the *bulk* to a minimum. If I'm going to give away a little pile of cards, I try to keep my ribbon and embellishments fairly flat. tThe cards package up much nicer. And it doesn't matter how you package up your cards, the recipient will LOVE them......and will probably beg for more! So get out your supplies...use up some of those goodies.....and stamp some cards!
You always make the best cards!!! Such great details!
What a great post to read! LOVE seeing your *stuff* -- LOL!!! Lovely gift cards -- I agree -- a gift of cards is always well received!!! TFS!!!
Now, do you want to share about the hot cocoa recipe you found? I'm dying to know if it was "the" one or not!!
you had to be talking about my stamping/scrapbooking room! Yep, found a 12" space to stamp and I have an entire room! Yikes! Love this card idea; the buttons top it off..love your blog! Have a wonderful day!
Love how simple you make everything look. Love those cards!
Hi Mish...thanks for the great idea and all the details. I was wondering what does the inside look like? When the card is opened can the ribbon be seen on the other side? my last question is copic related...what are the most essential colors that a beginner should start with..
Thanks and Merry Christmas...your hardwork is always appreciated!!
I've been cleaning out my Google Reader today, but your blog is one of the 10 or 15 that I'm keeping (out of a couple hundred!) I'm spending way too much time online and too little time actually crafting, but your blog is always practical. Thanks for being you!
That is so funny that you are stamping in a 12 inch spot. That is exactly what I am doing right now. I have so many holiday projects going on that I can't wait to get to the next one, so i am not cleaning up much in between. Have a great day.
You always have the greatest ideas! Love these thank you cards. Love that birdhouse image!
Great cards and idea! Love your blog and I haven't really commented before but I visit you everyday. I guess we all seem to collect a lot of products and have very little space to work on.
Really nice cards - and such a good idea making them before Christmas.
I really like the stamp used.
PS: Glad I'm not the only one who leaves a small space on my desk to work in!
Loved seeing your working area looks alot like mine!! Great little cards you made. I check your blog every single day for inspiration and you always come through!!
I love all your posts. I have a question though. What is glass glitter?
Love the bird image. These cards are perfect. Thought it was so cute that you photographed them hanging from your bird cage. Your presentation is flawless. Thanks for sharing.
Oh so sweet. I love the cards and your writing is so funny! You are so entertaining and creative too. WOW! Thanks for sharing.
I've been visiting your blog for a while now, and I love it. I can always count on you for inspiration! Love your work!
I have a question - those just rite stampers - they confuse me. Do you buy the handle and the actual rubber stamp separately? I'm not sure what size goes with what, and how it all works.
Wonderful Cards!! I love the cardinals and the very natural and earthy feel. Love the pictures of all your crafting *stuff* too!! Great idea!
Wow! Loving this card and the way the stamp coordinates so nicely with the designer paper. Soooo cute!
Gorgeous!!! Love your cards and your post had me totally grinning.....too much ribbon and paper....not me!! ROFL!!!!

London Hauntings & Spectres
Along with my passion for the paranormal and all things strange is my interest in Great Britain's history and mythology. I'm going to piece together many of the vintage tales and occasionally post these collections. Here is the link to the 1st post - British Monsters and Boogeymen. If you have a venerable narrative or anecdote that you'd like to share, please feel free to forward to me.
London's Phantom Hounds
A black hound was seen during the 1960s on the Wandsworth Road. Researchers attributed the form to the ghost of an animal killed on the road. The hound would often been seen disappearing into 523 Wandsworth Road. The haunting occurred for more than four months.
Similar harmless ghost dogs have been seen along the Thames. Phantom dogs are said to prowl a stairwell at Hampton Court, the Anchor Tavern on Bankside and the Spanish Galleon pub in Greenwich, which is apparently haunted by a large mastiff hound.
However, the lore of the black dog usually concerns more sinister beasts. At St Michael's church, Cornhill (date unknown), a giant black hound appeared during a thunderstorm, entering via the south window, leaving claw marks scorched into the stone. A dog resembling a dachshund is said to haunt an area of Baker Street also.
But London's most famous phantom hound is that which resides at the former Newgate Prison, a slithering, ominous spook which gives off a nauseating odor. Legend of the beast dates back to the reign of Henry III during a period of extreme famine when prisoners often fed upon one another. One victim of cannibalism, who was rumored to be a sorcerer, claimed vengeance upon the inmates when a frightful, red-eyed phantom hound materialized in the vicinity. According to legend, the evil beast ripped many of the felons limb from limb, its blood soaked jaws dripping onto the icy floor. Other prisoners simply died of fright, terrified of the oncoming sound of padded feet in the corridors.
The phantom hound was said to haunt the prison up until its demolition in 1902, yet sightings and strange odors are still reported, suggesting that this harbinger of doom is not confined to the dank annals of folkloric horror.
For some, black dogs are connected to dark deeds, appearing before a death or crisis whether in the form of extreme weather or disease. Many sightings occur on old roads, once believed to be 'corpseways' where funeral processions may have proceeded, and also near churchyards. Age old legends paint grim pictures of these beasts as the guardians of the gates of Hell. - paranormaldatabase.com
The Phantom Horses of Windsor Park
I've often been intrigued by reports of phantom animals, especially horses when they are seen to be leading a carriage through some misty back road of a night. What perplexes me most is the fact that if inanimate objects have no souls, then why should the coach appear alongside the horses? And, if the horses never died together or with the coach, then why should they appear coupled in the ethereal void? Have there ever been sightings of a stagecoach drawn by nothing, or spectral horses drawing an invisible carriage? It seems not.
The huge gates of Black Horse Yard, at Windsor, are situated on the main Windsor to London road, which is flanked by houses built during the eighteenth century. It is here that one particular apparition is said to appear, ominously before the death of a monarch. A ghostly coach, and horses, is said to roar from the shadows where an old inn used to stand, and gallops towards the Windsor Park gates at great speed. Of course, no-one knows where the procession goes because it often fades into the gloom of night before its destination.
Rumor has it that the phantom carriage, pulled by two magnificent black horses, also consists of a third ghost, that being of a royal physician who was tending to King Charles II before his death. Although no relatively modern sightings of the spectral coach have been reported, its last appearance certainly suggests that, as a spirit, it is indeed an omen of death, because it was Edward VII who appeared gravely ill the last time the manifestation took to the streets.
However, this leaves the researcher with many unanswered questions. Does the spectral coach, the horses and the ghostly physician display some kind of intelligence beyond the comprehension of science and understanding? Or is the spooky scenario simply a continuous playback, embedded in the fabric of time to forever play back when a tragedy is about to strike?
These type of hauntings may suggest a mere recording of a past event, but if so, how on Earth does an historical gaggle of ghosts know when someone is going to die?
Whatever your belief, these historical enigmas continue to operate outside of their own timeline suggesting something, possibly in the human brain, triggers their existence. - Phantoms and Monsters
The Ealing Horror
In the borough of Ealing, West London a photographer, keen to set up his own studio, moves into a half-derelict house. He brings with him his staff, who although slightly unnerved by the setting, settle in comfortably. Until that is, the noises start.
It wasn't the studio that had such a hideous history, but it was the studio that succumbed to the activity. The peculiar noises coming from unoccupied rooms, the shifting of furniture when no-one was around, members of staff beginning to sense a presence, an unseen hand which tapped them on the shoulder or tugged at their garments, and those spectral voices from within the walls soon made this an awkward place to reside.
The photographer had a strong interest in the paranormal, as had many of his staff, and so, one evening, as darkness drew in, they decided to hold a seance, at least in the hope of communicating with some unknown form. To their delight, in some instances, they did indeed contact a spirit, but the eerie presence spoke of unrest in the neighboring building, a place that had seen much evil within its walls.
A lady and her very young child had been butchered in the property, and a man, belonging to one of the forces, was accused, found guilty and hanged for his crime. It was during this detail that the photographer began to feel sore around his neck, and felt that the spirit in contact with them was indeed the alleged murderer, and this was confirmed when the spectre pleaded its innocence.
Whether such an apparition was cast from the property we'll never know, only persistent rumour or further experiences could shed some light on as to whether the property is still in turmoil. - ealinggazette.co.uk
The Faceless Phantom of Langmead Street
The puzzled police stationed outside the house in Langmead Street couldn't find an answer. They couldn't explain the strange buzzing noises heard by 26-year-old Cecil Greenfield. They couldn't find a suspect to arrest for the weird banging noises which kept the family awake every night. The family of eight were tormented by an unseen assailant who dragged furniture about the West Norwood residence. And then, at 2:15am on a warm July night in 1951, Dennis and his wife Gladys got the shock of their life when they entered their home and were confronted by a tall, grey figure without a face.
Inspector Sidney Candler was extremely skeptical of the fiasco until he heard the thumping noises coming from the attic, and was unnerved as a picture flew from the wall and smashed on the floor. Cutlery seemed to rattle in the drawers.
The house attracted many locals, some simply intrigued by the local haunted house, others more skeptical who howled abuse at the residents, shouting "Get your heads examined!" Even the relatives of the family were embarrassed by the situation and refused to aid the troubled family.
Father Alfred Cole of St. Matthew's Church was called in to exorcize the building. It was the last resort for the family who'd been plagued by the noises all day, and every night. A group from the Church of the Nazarene held a vigil throughout the night, deep in prayer in hope of cleansing the house of its evil. And yet the activity refused to subside. If anything it increased.
The radio turned on by itself. Peculiar lights whizzed across the living room. A mattress lifted up and appeared to bend, and poor Dennis was accosted by an invisible intruder who tore his shirt.
The family had reached the brink. They fled. They were not followed by the spectres within.
A couple with four children moved into the property, fully aware of its reputation. They were never troubled by the phantoms, and the house on Langmead Street returned to normal. - gothamist.com
Although the following narrative is not of a haunting or spectre, it depicts the fear in the streets of mid-late Victorian London:
London's Garrotting Ghouls
London's sinister folklore is peppered with tales of elusive killers, perverse slashers and stabbers, and all manner of peculiar assailants. These kinds of individuals, or groups, and their fiendish acts, often result in local panic and terror. Such creation of urban hysteria becomes legend. Take for instance the rumor that between 1856 and 1862, phantom garrotters were prowling the city streets.
These sadists were said to apprehend the victim, always from behind, bringing a forearm across the throat area of the prey. As the victim struggled, choking in horror, a vile companion would rob the accosted of all they owned. Victims never raised an alarm or pursued their attackers because this attack would often leave them semi-conscious.
In his fascinating book The London Monster, author Jan Bondeson writes: "…July 17, 1862, Mr Hugh Pilkington, M.P., was garrotted and relieved of his watch by two ruffians as he was walking from the House of Commons to the Reform Club."
Of course, the fact that a leading citizen had been attacked by these mere rumored assailants, put the streets on high alert. Panic was in the air. Such sadists were perceived by the London press as some kind of inhuman race, said to lurk in the dingy shadows of dank alleyways, eager to feast upon their evil crimes, looting bodies as they lay almost choked to death.
Town folk brave enough to venture out after dark took to arming themselves with pistols and also home made weapons. Many believed that the garrotters were convicts who at the time were being released from prisons early for good behavior. If by some chance a garrotter was apprehended, there were immediate calls for the guilty to be hung or transported.
The spectral garrotters never truly existed but like so many other social panics, they emerged by way of society and its fears. Scaremongering emerged as local people feared the streets would become inhabited by criminals, released by overcrowded prisons. And as news spread about the liberal prison reforms, it was clear that any crime that hit the streets could be blamed on the alleged inadequacies of the prisons, as town folk boarded themselves in their homes for fear that London would be taken over by a multitude of stabbers, hackers, garrotters and repulsive rotters. - londonist.com

Earlier this year, Paul Cutsinger, Evangelist at Amazon Alexa, joined a team of developers and designers from Capital One at SXSW in Austin to launch the new Capital One skill for Alexa. The launch of the new skill garnered national attention, as Capital One was the first company to give customers the ability to interact with their credit card and bank accounts through Alexa-enabled devices. This week at the Amazon Developer Education Conference in NYC, Capital One announced another industry first by expanding the skill to enable its customers to access their auto and home loan accounts through Alexa.
The skill is one of the top-rated Alexa skills, 4.5/5 stars, with 47 reviews. It enables Capital One customers to stay on top of their credit card, auto loan, mortgage and home equity accounts by checking their balance, reviewing recent transactions, or making payments, as well as get real-time access to checking and savings account information to understand their available funds.
To bring the new skill to life, the Capital One team – comprised of engineers, designers, and product managers – kicked off a two-phase development process.
The team also spent a lot of time finding the right balance between customers' need for both convenience and security. In the end, Capital One worked with Amazon to strike the right balance and gave customers the option of adding a four-digit pin in order to access the skill and provide an additional layer of security. The pin can be changed or removed at the customer's discretion.
"The Alexa Skills Kit is very straightforward. However, it is evolving quickly, so developers need to pay close attention to online documentation, webinars, and other learning opportunities in order to stay on top of new features and capabilities as they are released," Totman said.
This was a really interesting challenge for Capital One's design team. In order to make the skill feel like a personalized conversation, the team had to identify exactly where and how to inject personality and humor, while carefully considering customers' priorities and the language they use to discuss finances.
Capital One's Alexa skill represents just the starting lineup of features. Capital One's team continues to test, learn, and explore new features by focusing on customer needs and continually refining the experience.
Stay tuned to part two to learn how Capital One built their Alexa skill and added new capabilities.

Hamiltonian is pleased to present Save As... an ongoing performance and installation by artist Nancy Daly. The exhibition will run from February 24 – March 28, 2015, with the artist working in the gallery on select dates from 12 pm until 6 pm throughout the duration of the exhibition. Save As… will culminate in a closing reception on Saturday, March 28 from 7-9 pm.
In Save As… Nancy Daly will be methodically excavating her digital archives from 2002 to the present, printing out everything she has ever saved, including vacation photos, emails, resumes, essays and Gchats. As she makes the digital physical, Daly will transform the gallery into a visual diary of her virtual life over the past 13 years, exposing the normally hidden minutiae that she has gradually collected over time. The project, designed to overtake the gallery in a process of slow accrual, will construct a picture of the content-generating habits of the artist.
As Daly works, a photo will be taken for every day that she is holding gallery hours. Her process will also be recorded in a time-lapse video. She will create an encyclopedia set out of the material produced.

$.post("InsertNewQuestion.php", $("Create_Question_Form").serialize());

Here is the PHP code
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

mysql_select_db("Quizzes",$con);

$Quiz_Name = $_POST['Question'];
echo $Quiz_Name;
$Option_1 = $_POST['Option1'];
echo $Option_1;
$Option_2 = $_POST['Option2'];
echo $Option_2;
$Option_3 = $_POST['Option3'];
echo $Option_3;
$Option_4 = $_POST['Option4'];
echo $Option_4;
$Option_5 = $_POST['Option5'];
echo $Option_5;

$rowIDList = mysql_query("SELECT rowID FROM TestQuiz");

$ColumnValues = array();

$CurrentGreatestRowID = -1;

$LCV = 1;

while($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rowIDList)) {

    if ($CurrentGreatestRowID < $row1['rowID']) {
        $CurrentGreatestRowID = $row1['rowID'];
    }
    $LCV++;
}

$CurrentRowID = $CurrentGreatestRowID+1;

$sql = "INSERT INTO TestQuiz (rowID,Quiz_Name,Option_1,Option_2,Option_3,Option_4,Option_5,Option_1_Votes,Option_2_Votes,Option_3_Votes,Option_4_Votes,Option_5_Votes)
VALUES(".$CurrentRowID.",'".$Question."','".$Option1."','".$Option2."','".$Option3."','".$Option4."','".$Option5."',0,0,0,0,0);";

if (mysql_query($sql,$con)) {
    echo "Inserted values";
}
else {
    echo ("Could not insert values: ". mysql_error());
}

mysql_close($con);
?>

Here is the HTML form
<form id="Create_Question_Form" action="" method="POST">
Question Name: input id="Question" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Question_Name">

Option 1: input id="Option1" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Option_1">

Option 2: input id="Option2" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Option_2">

Option 3: input id="Option3" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Option_3">

Option 4: input id="Option4" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Option_4">

Option 5: input id="Option5" class="Create_Question_Text_Box" type="text" name="Option_5">

input type="Submit" id="Question_Submit" value="Create Question"></input>
</form>

A: Your form selector should be #Create_Question_Form. Note the # indicating that this is an element ID.
$("#Create_Question_Form").serialize()

Update
You are accessing the $_POST values by ID instead of name. Try this:
$Option_1 = $_POST['Option_1'];
$Option_2 = $_POST['Option_2'];
// etc

A: input type="Submit" id="Question_Submit" value="Create Question"></input>
<input type="Submit" id="Question_Submit" value="Create Question" />

The EU and Laos conclude the third formal negotiation towards an agreement on combating illegal logging and promoting trade in legal timber products
by FLEGT.org Info, 25 June 2019
The European Union (EU) and Laos held their third round of face-to-face negotiations on a Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA) on Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT). The talks took place in Brussels, Belgium from 17-21 June 2019. The Agreement aims to establish a system to verify the legality of timber products harvested and exported by Laos. This helps to promote trade in legal timber products, improves forest governance and contributes to combatting illegal logging.

'The Government of Laos is committed to further develop our forest sector into a sustainable resource for our country' said Dr. Phouangparisak Pravongviengkham, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, the Head of the Lao negotiating team. 'Our negotiations with the EU are part of this, as the implementation of the VPA will help to enhance the robustness of our timber supply chain and the responsible management of our forests.'
Since the second face-to-face negotiations in June 2018, Laos has made several revisions, especially to its Forest Law, its Land Law and a new decree on environmental impact assessments. These changes provide further clarification on what will be considered legal under the VPA between Laos and the EU.
During their talks, the EU and Laos reviewed the timber legality definitions, which will be used to indicate legality of timber. Laos made progress on defining the legality of timber from conversion areas and imported timber. Work on natural production forests and labour obligations in forestry, wood processing and trading operations progressed significantly as well.
The Lao side also provided updates on how communities can now use forests for commercial purposes under the Forest Law, potentially allowing for additional livelihood income for these communities, and providing an additional source of raw materials for SME and household production. And Laos gave further insight into the institutional arrangements to implement the VPA and the timber legality assurance system.
'We welcome the progress Laos has made on developing its VPA timber legality assurance system' said Jorge Rodriguez Romero, Deputy Head of Unit, European Commission Directorate General for Environment. 'We look forward to the testing and implementation of the system, which is an important step in furthering good forest governance and trade in legal timber and will have positive impacts on Laos' forest sector.'
Following the negotiations, work will continue to further develop and clarify the timber legality definitions and of the timber legality assurance system. The German Development Cooperation project 'Protection and Sustainable Use of Forest Ecosystems and Biodiversity in Laos' (ProFEB), implemented by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit), under the supervision of FLEGT Standing Office, department of Forest Inspection, will continue to support the Lao Government and its stakeholders in their effort towards a VPA with the EU.
The VPA process has created an unprecedented opportunity for Laos to join a coalition of countries that are fighting illegal logging and improving forest governance around the globe. Currently, 15 countries worldwide are negotiating or implementing VPAs with the EU.

TMZ cameras caught the two out at Lorna's restaurant in Queens, NY, dancing and grubbing.
The real question is, would you like to see these two rekindle their love affair?
The pair was hot and heavy in the early 2000s, but allegedly called it quits because Cannon was caught cheating.
And later that year in November 2001, Blige was featured on the cover of Essence magazine looking like a golden goddess and we all bowed down.
In 2005 she released her album and it became an instant classic.
So in honor of her 47th birthday, we decided to celebrate not only her being the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" but also being a true blonde bombshell by taking a look back at the evolution of that golden crown on her head.
In 2011, Hip Hollywood spoke to a host of celebrities, stylists and influencers about some of Blige's most iconic looks and their favorite MJB hairstyles.
