Here is a simple tutorial to add small flash Mp3 player to any post in blogger.
Copy and paste the below code just before </head> tag in Layout >> Edit Html.
Copy the below code and paste it wherever you want the flash player to be displayed, but paste it in the Edit Html tab of Create Post.
- Do not forget to replace
http://media.odeo.com/3/3/2/yahoo-song.mp3
with the URL of your Mp3 - You can configure height and weight as required.
Note: If you are using Internet Explorer, you will probably need to click the player twice to make it play. (All other Web browsers will let you click once.) If you do not see the MP3 player, then you dont have the Flash player installed. (More than 90 percent of all Internet users do have it.)

PowerShell v3 in a Year Day 13 Clear Content
Topic: Clear-Content
Alias: clc
The help for Clear-Content says, "Deletes the contents of an item, such as deleting the text from a file, but does not delete the item." Clear-Content is the antithesis of the Get-Item cmdlet insofar as it focuses on the contents of an object, not on the object itself. Here is a quick demonstration of how to use it. We will first create a small dummy file with the contents of the directory, then, we will call the Clear-Content cmdlet to remove the contents.
To get more specific, here are the two parameter sets for Clear-Content:
Alias: clc
The help for Clear-Content says, "Deletes the contents of an item, such as deleting the text from a file, but does not delete the item." Clear-Content is the antithesis of the Get-Item cmdlet insofar as it focuses on the contents of an object, not on the object itself. Here is a quick demonstration of how to use it. We will first create a small dummy file with the contents of the directory, then, we will call the Clear-Content cmdlet to remove the contents.
To verify we have content in the file, we call dir (Get-ChildItem) and reference the specific file to which we dumped content:PS >dir >. est.txt
As you can see, the Length (character count) is 6572. That sounds about right for this directory. Now, lets clear out the files contents:PS >dir . est.txtDirectory: C:dirMode LastWriteTime LengthName---- ------------- -----------a--- 11/2/2012 11:14 PM 6572 test.txt
To verify it did the job, we call Get-ChildItem again which displays a .length property of 0.PS >Clear-Content -Path. est.txt
As noted in the help, "The Clear-Content cmdlet deletes the contents of an item, such as deleting the text from a file, but it does not delete the item. As a result, the item exists, but it is empty. Clear-Content is similar to Clear-Item, but it works on files instead of on aliases and variables." It is important to keep in mind, as indicated above, it works specifically on files, not, other providers.PS >dir . est.txtDirectory: C:dirMode LastWriteTime LengthName---- ------------- -----------a--- 11/2/2012 11:15 PM 0 test.txt
To get more specific, here are the two parameter sets for Clear-Content:
- Clear-Content [-Path] <String[]> [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Exclude <String[]>] [-Filter <String>] [-Force[<SwitchParameter>]] [-Include <String[]>] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]][-UseTransaction [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>]
- Clear-Content [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-Exclude <String[]>] [-Filter <String>] [-Force [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Include <String[]>] -LiteralPath <String[]> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-UseTransaction [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>]
- Path
- Credential
- Exclude
- Filter
- Force
- Include
- Confirm
- WhatIf
- UseTransaction
- Credential
- Exclude
- Filter
- Force
- Include
- LiteralPath
- Confirm
- WhatIf
- UseTransaction
Some examples of how to use Clear-Content are listed below:
- This example demonstrates how to clear the contents of a wildcarded selection of .txt files in the C:userswill directory whose name ends with _iis.log. Clear-Content -Path C:userswill*_iis.log
- Here is an example that shows how to clear the contents of all files with a .log extension. The -Force parameter is a switch which, when included, indicates to the command to clear the contents of read-only files as well: clear-content -path * -filter *.log -force.
- Here is an example that looks in the C: emp directory for files whose names begin with Smp, does not include the number 2. The -WhatIf switch suppresses the actual changes from being made and clear-content c:Temp* -Include Smp* -Exclude *2* -whatif
This is a relatively lightweight cmdlet, but, it is important to have it well-placed in the tool kit. Instead of having to delete files, which sometimes is the fastest way to remove content, calling Clear-Content might be just as effective, if not more so, than, calling Remove-Item. In either case, Clear-Content is a great way to reset the contents of a file object so you have a blank slate. In cases where you are logging and need to clear logs every day, this proves to be the perfect tool for the job.
One caveat I find important to point out any time one is dealing with file system objects (and their related cmdlets) involves some confusion with how -Filter, -Include and -Exclude work. After having fought this battle plenty of times, I found great blog post by Thomas Lee, Get-ChildItem and theInclude and Filter parameters, which explains some issues folks run into when working with these three parameters. Before you start using this cmdlet heavily be sure to explore how these parameters work (and misbehave). After you get a good feel for their real-world usages of these folk, go to town, but, make use of the -WhatIf parameter a lot as you test this out.

An experiment in digital citizenry
You may already conduct a lot of your life online, but few countries have totally embraced the concept of online citizenship. the small European country of Estonia has been conducting an interesting experiment making all their population "e-Residents". The Register has just published an interesting article on its reach and impact. This was brought to my attention by my colleague Mark Wilson.

Remember the classic videogame Breakout on the Atari 2600? When you first sat down to try it, you probably learned to play well pretty quickly, because you already knew how to bounce a ball off a wall in real life. You may have even worked up a strategy to maximise your overall score at the expense of more immediate rewards. But what if you didnt possess that real-world knowledge and only had the pixels on the screen, the control paddle in your hand, and the score to go on? How would you, or equally any intelligent agent faced with this situation, learn this task totally from scratch?
This is exactly the question that we set out to answer in our paper Human-level control through deep reinforcement learning, published in Nature this week. We demonstrate that a novel algorithm called a deep Q-network (DQN) is up to this challenge, excelling not only at Breakout but also a wide variety of classic videogames: everything from side-scrolling shooters (River Raid) to boxing (Boxing) and 3D car racing (Enduro). Strikingly, DQN was able to work straight out of the box across all these games using the same network architecture and tuning parameters throughout and provided only with the raw screen pixels, set of available actions and game score as input.
The results: DQN outperformed previous machine learning methods in 43 of the 49 games. In fact, in more than half the games, it performed at more than 75% of the level of a professional human player. In certain games, DQN even came up with surprisingly far-sighted strategies that allowed it to achieve the maximum attainable scorefor example, in Breakout, it learned to first dig a tunnel at one end of the brick wall so the ball could bounce around the back and knock out bricks from behind.
This work offers the first demonstration of a general purpose learning agent that can be trained end-to-end to handle a wide variety of challenging tasks, taking in only raw pixels as inputs and transforming these into actions that can be executed in real-time. This kind of technology should help us build more useful productsimagine if you could ask the Google app to complete any kind of complex task (Okay Google, plan me a great backpacking trip through Europe!).
We also hope this kind of domain general learning algorithm will give researchers new ways to make sense of complex large-scale data creating the potential for exciting discoveries in fields such as climate science, physics, medicine and genomics. And it may even help scientists better understand the process by which humans learn. After all, as the great physicist Richard Feynman famously said: What I cannot create, I do not understand.

So how does it work? DQN incorporated several key features that for the first time enabled the power of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to be combined in a scalable fashion with Reinforcement Learning (RL)a machine learning framework that prescribes how agents should act in an environment in order to maximize future cumulative reward (e.g., a game score). Foremost among these was a neurobiologically inspired mechanism, termed experience replay, whereby during the learning phase DQN was trained on samples drawn from a pool of stored episodesa process physically realized in a brain structure called the hippocampus through the ultra-fast reactivation of recent experiences during rest periods (e.g., sleep). Indeed, the incorporation of experience replay was critical to the success of DQN: disabling this function caused a severe deterioration in performance.Comparison of the DQN agent with the best reinforcement learning methods in the literature. The performance of DQN is normalized with respect to a professional human games tester (100% level) and random play (0% level). Note that the normalized performance of DQN, expressed as a percentage, is calculated as: 100 X (DQN score - random play score)/(human score - random play score). Error bars indicate s.d. across the 30 evaluation episodes, starting with different initial conditions. Figure courtesy of Mnih et al.

You can get more details about how these work from MSDN.function Test-Uri{<#.NOTESAuthor: Will SteeleLast Modified Date: 07/27/2012.EXAMPLETest-Uri -Uri http://www.msn.comTrue.EXAMPLETest-Uri -Uri http:/hax0r.comFalse#>param([ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()][String]$Uri)if([System.Uri]::IsWellFormedUriString($Uri, [System.UriKind]::RelativeOrAbsolute)){[System.Uri]::TryCreate($Uri, [System.UriKind]::RelativeOrAbsolute, [ref] $uri)}else{$false}}
- IsWellFormedUriString: Uri.IsWellFormedUriString Method
- TryCreate: Uri.TryCreate Method (String, UriKind, Uri%)

Don Jones Month of Lunches Day 6

Read More..
Although Don gives people with a programming background permission to just skip Chapter 6 I got intrigued by the title "Objects: data by just another name". My programming experience grew from getting frustrated with the limitations of scripting. Seeing things from others perspectives is always interesting because it can help me find new ways to avoid limitations. Here, the title alone made me realize something rather self-evident: objects are just data by another name. "Yeah, I read that." you may be thinking, Why are you highlighting it?" Objects had always been a little mysterious to me. When I started using PowerShell I felt I found a secret passageway into the world of .NET because I could poke around under the black box. Here I see "objects"-as in object oriented programming-are really fancy labels for data. This may sound trivial, but, when the title of a chapter alone gives me a breakthrough of sorts I get thrilled.In Section 6.1 Don gives a good practical way to start thinking about what objects are and contain. What is key to realize, or, at least was for me, is that when you are working with PowerShell, it is object oriented. The contrasting example from the Unix/bash/batch/cmd perspective is that PowerShell does not deal in text, but, rather, in data and objects. This is a big deal. In other shells a ton of time is spent finding ways to manipulate text as if it is objects. That is a beauty (and curse) of those shell (and systems): everything is a file. PowerShell deftly sidesteps this problem before it ever even arises. Having written some cmd batch scripts that look like something aliens would struggle to understand I am immensely appreciative for PowerShells objects and their simplicity.The major things to know about objects are broken down in key sections: objects have properties that describe it (6.4) and methods to take action on or with it (6.5). Collectively, these are called members. What is great about members is how much they can tell you about an object. PowerShell, like other .NET languages, is self-describing. When you look at an object the right way it can tell you all about itself through its members. Many folks who get deep into PowerShell eventually seem to end up loving the Get-Member cmdlet mentioned in Section 6.3 as a favorite. Want to know about any object? Fine, just ask it to tell you its story with Get-Member. In other languages you have to know what things are before you start working with them. In PowerShell it is just so easy: simply ask.In sections 6.6 and 6.7 talk about two cmdlets: Sort and Select. Sort is handy. For me-and, in what I do (data extraction and manipulation)-Select is king. In the examples in the book, I feel like I was teased a bit, just because I have worked so extensively with this cmdlet it deserves a chapter unto itself almost. I know these sorts of things will be expanded upon in later chapters, but, just seeing something simple, like the ability to sort, as shown in the DVD on a property, or, how to select begins to give glimpses of the things that can be done.One great tip given in the Sorting video was seeing a practical use of Get-Member and Sort together. To me, Get-Member is an exploratory tool. With it I get objects to tell their story. To belabor the point a bit, keep in mind: when you start hearing the story remember you are dealing with objects and their members. These are objects for the entire life of a pipeline until you make them something else (I am thinking specifically of text). The PowersShell story is like any good tale: it has a beginning, middle and end. And in every part the key characters are objects. When I started looking at PowerShell this way I got a much richer tale every time I used it.

Is your English prefect
Even those of us who write professionally for a living often make typos, such as letter transpositions (did you spot "prefect" in the title instead of "perfect", and sometimes our grammar is less than perfect. All of us can use a little help. Ive always recommended that my students use spell and grammar checkers built into software like Microsoft Word. However, as we increasingly create documents in the cloud, in browser-based software, that option is not available - enter Grammarly. If youre a regular reader of this blog you know that I dont often promote products, but Im impressed with this. Grammarly once installed as a browser extension sits in the background watching every word you type. It then underlines words that may be misspelled or easily confused with similar words, either by spelling or meaning. Hovering the cursor over the word brings up suggestions that you can accept or reject. Grammarly also has OS X and Windows apps and an MS Office plug-in (Win only). Highly recommended.

A year and a bit with Inbox Zero
In January 2014 I blogged about Inbox Zero and I have now been following that practice for a little over a year; so its time to give my appraisal. After following the techniques outlined in the various web posts on Inbox Zero and spending a little time on the remaining stubborn emails that really had to be actioned I achieved the nirvana of an empty Gmail inbox (perviously it held approx. 20,000 mails of which approx. 2,000 were unread).
I now check my email at set times of the day: first thing in the morning, before lunch, mid afternoon and early evening. I apply the delete, delegate, respond, defer, and do mantra to each email and have maintained inbox zero successfully for just over a year now. Im never going back, I feel so much more relaxed and in command of my email. I use email not the other way round. For example if I receive an email from a work colleague on a Saturday I defer it until the following Monday (unless of course it really is urgent) - Im not at work so I shouldnt be dealing with work email at the weekend. Ive turned off the email notification and app badges on my iPhone and iPad. I use Unroll Me to manage email subscriptions and mailing lists, Mailbox (an excellent app) on my iOS devices, and a snooze script within Gmail. I strongly recommend you take the plunge and try Inbox Zero, you wont regret it.
