It's that time of year when you're likely to be doing a lot of cooking – so get some help in the kitchen with the KitchenAid Artisan mixer, now £220 off RRP in the early Currys Black Friday sales.
When it comes to discounts on the latest must-have tech, you're not going to get much better than almost half off this mixer, which will now set you back £279 rather than the original £499. It's also on sale at other retailers for a touch more, and this is one of the cheapest prices we can find it for at the moment.
With 300W of power and a choice of speed levels, the 4.8-litre capacity mixer can mix, beat, whisk and knead, and is going to make short work of whatever ingredients you put in front of it.
In the box you get a stainless steel mixing bowl, a flat beater, a six-wire whip and a dough hook as well as the mixer itself. Add a five-year guarantee, and it's one of the best Black Friday deals we've seen so far – and Black Friday isn't even here yet.
What's more, it's part of the Currys Black Friday price promise - meaning that if it does plummet in price on Black Friday itself (November 29) you'll be able to get the difference back.
TechRadar is scouring every retailer and rounding up all the top deals over the Black Friday period, and we’ve put all the best Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals in easy-to-navigate articles to help you find the bargains you’re looking for.

It goes without saying that COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus, is dominating the news right now. Plenty of people are worried and there’s plenty of “fake news” out there. However, an article entitled The Coronavirus Is Much Worse Than You Think , by Samuel Paul Veissière Ph.D. and published in Psychology Today, not only has a terrible clickbait title, but commits one of the worst sins a news organization can commit: lying without lying.
While I’m sure that Veissière didn’t mean to do this directly, I’m nonetheless horrified by this article because it’s making the rounds and I want a handy link to share to debunk the nonsense right now.
The article’s premise is actually sound: you’re very unlikely to contract the coronavirus and, even if you do, you’re unlikely to die from it, so there’s no need to panic.
So far, so good. Except the author makes a terrible, terrible mistake by initially omitting the word “now”.
So let’s look at his initial question:
Why then are so many countries implementing quarantine measures, shutting down their borders, schools, and soccer games for something that is less likely to happen to anyone than drowning in a single year, or even being hit by lightning in one’s lifetime? Why is the stock-market crashing, and why are school and workplace mass emails, news headlines, social media feeds, and face-to-face conversations dominated by stories about what is essentially a new strand of mild to moderate flu?
The error in that should be blatantly obvious, but it would be hilarious (were the situation not so grave) given that the author followed this up with:
To understand this strange dynamic, consider people’s blatant inability to make statistically correct inferences about actual risk ...
OK, let’s talk about statistics. In particular, we’re going to talk about “dependent” and “independent” events.
What are the chances that I contract coronavirus? Right now, they’re pretty small. But what if my wife catches coronavirus? My chances increase dramatically. Thus, the chances that I’ll contract coronavirus are highly dependent on whether or not those around me catch coronavirus. Thus, these are what we call “dependent events” and the chances of one materially effect the chances of the other.
This is what Samuel Paul Veissière, Ph.D., doesn’t seem to understand about statistics. To answer his original question about the quarantine when the risk is so low: the risk can remain low if and only if the quarantine works.
 (Dr. Veissière is probably actually a wonderful person, but this sort of irresponsible writing really makes me mad).
So the risk is dependent on the quarantine, but let’s talk about independent events because they make the situation worse. My wife and I have a young daughter. Let’s say that one of us catches the disease. The chances are high that all of us will then catch the disease. But the chances of any of us dying from the disease are independent of one another. But what does that mean?
Currently, it appears that the chances of our daughter dying are pretty close to zero. The chances of my wife dying appear to be around 2%, and the chances of my dying are around 4%. . Well, it turns out that if you do the math, that works out to a 5.9% chance of one of us dying. Instead of a 1 in 50 chance of losing a parent, our daughter has a 1 in 17 chance of losing a parent.
So yeah, coronavirus is a big deal and not something for otherwise respectable publications like Psychology Today to brush off.
But what happens globally? According to Prof. Marc Lipsitch, Professor. of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health, up to 40% to 70% of the world population could get infected. . He also has very good historical data to back him up. It doesn’t mean this will happen, but if we don’t take preventive measures, it could happen. So what does that mean?
If we’re generous and assume the lower number of 40% of the population is infected, and we assume a 2% (overall) mortality rate, that’s around sixty million dead, or about 170K per day. (To be honest, there’s some hand-waving in this due to unknown rates of infection, re-infection, and so on).
It’s estimated that 150K people die every day (globally), so we’ve more than doubled the number of people dead. But these aren’t people being hit by cars, bullets (go USA!), or dropping dead from a heart attack or stroke.  We’re already overwhelming some of the public health systems.  And that’s long before pandemic status. If we don’t contain the virus, you can expect fewer food deliveries, fewer medical deliveries, more companies failing, and so on. And if you’re one of the unlucky people to contract the virus, you know that probability of dying is significantly higher than it’s ever been.
Oh, and about that 2% chance? While the Dr. Veissière blithely reassures us that we’re all being silly, let’s talk about comorbidities. These are other medical conditions you might have at the same time. In particular, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic respiratory infections, and other issues appear to dramatically increase your chance of dying from coronavirus.
As a final thought, just in case you think you’re safe, Dr. Veissière does have this to say:
The bad news for you is that, if you live in a densely populated area, you are very likely to contract the coronavirus — if not this year, next year, or the year after as it undergoes its seasonal global migration pattern with its zoonotic cousins.
So there you go. Buried at the end of his article, after he seems to discourage us from quarantines, after he presents a bunch of evolutionary history which isn’t relevant to most people’s concerns, he finally admits that most of us are going to get the disease sooner or later.
COVID-19 certainly isn’t the end of humanity, it’s a very serious problem that absolutely doesn’t deserve this type of sloppy reporting.
Update: it turns out that scientists are also calling BS on this drivel. Seems that not only was the statistical premise wrong, but the biology was also dead wrong.


Scorekeeping has been around since the very beginning of baseball. It has been a huge factor in the progression of the sport. The game of baseball relies heavily on statistics and without anybody keeping score, we wouldn't have much to look at. Scorekeeping also provides some much needed current stats for the managers and players to view in the dugout. And even as a spectator, it really keeps me interested in the game.

Recipe 13.17. Accessing LDAP ServersCredit: John Nielsen ProblemYou need to access an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) server from your Python programs. SolutionThe simplest solution is offered by the freely downloadable third-party extension ldap (http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net). This script shows a few LDAP operations with ldap: try: path = 'cn=people,ou=office,o=company' l = ldap.open('hostname') # set which protocol to use, if you do not like the default l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION2 l.simple_bind('cn=root,ou=office,o=company','password') # search for surnames beginning with a # available options for how deep a search you want: # LDAP_SCOPE_BASE, LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL,LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE, a = l.search_s(path, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, 'sn='+'a*') # delete fred l.delete_s('cn=fred,'+path) # add barney # note: objectclass depends on the LDAP server user_info = {'uid':'barney123', 'givenname':'Barney', 'cn':'barney123', 'sn':'Smith', 'telephonenumber':'123-4567', 'facsimiletelephonenumber':'987-6543', 'objectclass':('Remote-Address','person', 'Top'), 'physicaldeliveryofficename':'Services'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'title':'programmer', } id = 'cn=barney,'+path l.add_s(id, user_info.items( )) except ldap.LDAPError, error: print 'problem with ldap:', error DiscussionThe ldap module wraps the open source Openldap C API. However, with ldap, your Python program can talk to various versions of LDAP servers, as long as they're standards compliant, not just to Openldap servers. The recipe shows a script with a few example uses of the ldap module. For simplicity, all the functions the recipe calls from the library are the '_s' versions (e.g., search_s): this means the functions are synchronousthat is, they wait for a response or an error code and don't return control to your program until either an error or a response appears from the server. Asynchronous programming is less elementary than synchronous, although it can often offer far better performance and scalability. LDAP is widely used to keep and coordinate network-accessible information, particularly in large and geographically distributed organizations. Essentially, LDAP lets you organize information, search for it, create new items, and delete existing items. The ldap module lets your Python program perform the search, creation, and deletion functions. See Alsohttp://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml for all the documentation about the ldap module and other relevant pointers. |

FileUpload
This is a File Upload addon which is used to find the vulnerabilities in File Upload functionality.
Why this addon is needed
File upload is becoming a more and more essential part of any application,
where the user is able to upload their photo, their CV, or a video showcasing a
project they are working on. The application should be able to fend off bogus and
malicious files in a way to keep the application and the users safe.
Generally file upload functionality is quite complex to automate and has huge
attack surface hence there is a need to automate the process and also secure it.
Configuration
File upload functionality generally has 2 endpoints, one from where file is uploaded and one
from where file is retrieved. It is necessary to know both these endpoints.
While Active Scanning an application, file upload endpoint is already known but retrieval
endpoint is not known to the scan rule hence there are configuration details specific
to the retrieval endpoint.
Explanation about Options Panel
For finding the URL to retrieve/view the uploaded file, here are following options:
-
In some applications the URL to retrieve the uploaded file is static and doesn't change or
only the file name is changed. For handling this type of configuration,
options panel has Static Location Configuration where
static URL is added into URI Regex field. URI Regex field also supports the dynamic file name
by ${fileName}. parameter, for e.g. http://{baseurl}/${fileName}
-
In some applications the URL to retrieve the uploaded file is present in the file upload request's response.
For handling this type of configuration, options panel has Parse Http Response Configuration
which has 2 parameters Start Identifier and End Identifier.
These identifiers are used to locate the URL within the response.

In some applications the URL to retrieve the uploaded file is present in the response of a different URL which is called a
preflight request. E.g. Profile picture URL is part of profile page and
hence we need to parse the response of the profile page to find the URL of the profile picture.
For handling this type of configuration, the options panel has Dynamic Location Configuration
which has a URI Regex and Parse Http Response Configuration which has Start Identifier and End Identifier.
So the File Upload add-on will invoke the URI mentioned in URI Regex and
then parse the response using Start Identifier and End Identifier. URI Regex field also
supports the dynamic file name by ${fileName}

Moroccan cyclist makes a pit-stop in Mbombela
Yassine’s journey has taken him through Africa and he was well received by his compatriots in Mbombela.
by Enver WesselsMBOMBELA – Yassine Es-Qalli (28) has been exploring Africa on his bicycle for the past 20 months. The Moroccan national arrived in Mbombela last week, where he sought out the company of his fellow countrymen.
He has been able to rely on such kindnesses for much of his journey so far. The cycling enthusiast started his journey
in Morocco on March 8 last year. He has since traversed the continent’s west coast through Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia and Guinea Bissau, before finally making his way to South Africa.
“I have always been an avid cyclist and had explored Morocco on my bicycle,” EsQalli said.

“Then it dawned on me that there was so much more to see in Africa. It has been a privilege to be embraced by my fellow Africans.”
Contrary to his expectations, the journey was not as perilous as one would think, and Es-Qalli said he was often provided with accommodation and food in whichever village his travels led him to.
His worst experiences were contracting malaria eight times and the numerous checkpoints in some countries.
“The most exciting and heartwarming aspect was the way in which I was embraced everywhere I arrived. I had no idea about people in other African countries and this experience has opened a whole deeper understanding of the continent.”

How do you get on a bicycle and start cycling through countries of which you had no knowledge hitherto? For Es-Qalli the answer is simple.
“I saved up some money, arranged my visa and survived through the generosity of people who took an interest in
what I was attempting.”
He cites sampling the local cuisine and connecting with locals as energising, and added that this welcoming spirit kept the will to go on alive within him.
On Tuesday, he was at the SPAR Courtside branch of Moroccan Barber and was welcomed by the team who pledged
their assistance as he makes his return journey.

“Since arriving here, I crossed the Beitbridge border and cycled through Polokwane and then on to Johannesburg,
Kimberley, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Ficksburg and Ermelo before making my way back to Mbombela.”
On Monday he will start cycling back home to Morocco through Mozambique and on to the east coast of Africa. After he reaches home, he plans to journey through South America on his bicycle.
“You need to be resilient, strong and have an independent streak if you are considering hopping on your bike and exploring the world around you,” Es-Qalli added.

5 Word Embeddings and Representations
This chapter offers a general overview of how documents and words are viewed and processed during topic modeling.
5.1 Bag of Words
LDA processes documents as a ‘bag of words’. Bag of words means you view the frequency of the words in a document with no regard for the order the words appeared in.
Obviously there is going to be some information lost in this process, but our goal with topic modeling is to be able to view the ‘big picture’ from a large number of documents. Alternate way of thinking about it: I have a vocabulary of 100k words used across 1 million documents, then I use LDA to look 500 topics. I just narrowed down my feature space from 100k features to 500 features (dimensionality reduction).
Possible examples: Scrabble in reverse
5.2 Word Embeddings
I will preface this section by warning you there are many differnt types of word embeddings. A word embedding is a way to summarized words in documents based on a frequency or weight. Why would we need this? The primary reason is that we need a way of summarizing text in a manner that we can process easily with a computer (or with math in general). One of the simplest ways to do this is by taking word counts for each individual word in a document. Each row is a unique word in the vocabulary and each column is a document.

Transformers Cyberverse Spark Armour Optimus Prime Review
by Darryn BonthuysIf you ever wanted to start putting together a Transformers collection of toys, you’d know that it’d never be complete if a certain icon of the franchise was missing. Every Transformers fan has some iteration of Optimus Prime on their shelf, and with Transformers: Cyberverse being the latest incarnation of the franchise, there’s now another version of Optimus to add to the collection.
And why wouldn’t you? He’s noble, fearless and an inspiration to his troops thanks to his gravelly voice and ability to save the day no matter how badly the odds are stacked against him and his fellow Autobots. I swear, if I ever win the lottery I’m having expensive surgery on my throat that’ll insert a chip to make me sound exactly like him.
Here’s another reason to grab a new Optimus Prime for the eternal war between Autobots and Decepticons: A massive freakin’ armour upgrade! With Transformers: Cyberverse having debuted and making use of a leaner and more vibrant art style, this version of Optimus Prime doesn’t stray too far from the mould. He’s roughly the size of a Deluxe-class figure in the current line-up of Transformers toys, sporting a more show-accurate anatomy: Big boots, lean thighs and a Doritos-shaped torso. Look at his face! This is the face of a LEADER!
It’s a design that works, giving the traditionally chunky Autobot leader a more agile and cartoonish overhaul that pops nicely with his signature red and blue colour scheme. Articulation-wise, you’re looking at enough movement for a figure aimed at younger Transformer fans, with ball-jointed arms and legs having elbow and knee joints.
As usual, Optimus can transform into his alternate vehicle mode, which can easily be done in a minute. It’s not the most detailed model when looked at from anywhere but the front, but it does a decent job in living up to the main gimmick of this toyline. Speaking of gimmicks, let’s chat Spark Armour! The key takeaway from this line of toys is that Transformers can combine with regular Earth vehicles to don powerful armour infused with the energy of the Allspark.
In Prime’s case, he can give himself a hefty upgrade by grabbing a military fighter jet and wrapping it around his torso. The jet itself is pretty damn cool: A meaty gunship that is bristling with cannons and missiles. Actually transforming it is easy enough: Attach it to Optimus’ back, pull the cockpit over his chest and get the fright of your life when the entire body spins around to better suit his frame.
From there you can whip the cannons out and position them into arm-level weapons that Optimus can make use of.  It’s worth noting here that once he ons his Spark armour, Optimus gets pretty top heavy. You can mitigate this by pulling out some stability pegs from the inside of his legs, but weak joints in the knees can see him topple over if he isn’t positioned just right.
You’re still able to get him into some cool poses mind you, and considering that this toy is aimed at kids six and up they’ll probably be pretending that Optimus is more in the sky than he is on the ground. Overall, Spark Armour Optimus is a neat little figure with a very cool design and a properly fun gimmick. That’s just Prime in my book.

pbmmask(1) pbmmask(1) NAME pbmmask - create a mask bitmap from a regular bitmap SYNOPSIS pbmmask [-expand] [pbmfile] DESCRIPTION Reads a portable bitmap as input. Creates a corresponding mask bitmap and writes it out. The color to be interpreted as "background" is determined automatically. Regardless of which color is background, the mask will be white where the background is and black where the figure is. This lets you do a masked paste like this, for objects with a black back‐ ground: pbmmask obj > objmask pnmpaste < dest -and objmask <x> <y> | pnmpaste -or obj <x> <y> For objects with a white background, you can either invert them or add a step: pbmmask obj > objmask pnminvert objmask | pnmpaste -and obj 0 0 > blackback pnmpaste < dest -and objmask <x> <y> | pnmpaste -or blackback <x> <y> Note that this three-step version works for objects with black back‐ grounds too, if you don't care about the wasted time. You can also use masks with graymaps and pixmaps, using the pnmarith tool. For instance: ppmtopgm obj.ppm | pgmtopbm -threshold | pbmmask > objmask.pbm pnmarith -multiply dest.ppm objmask.pbm > t1.ppm pnminvert objmask.pbm | pnmarith -multiply obj.ppm - > t2.ppm pnmarith -add t1.ppm t2.ppm An interesting variation on this is to pipe the mask through the pnmsmooth script before using it. This makes the boundary between the two images less sharp. OPTIONS -expand Expands the mask by one pixel out from the image.  (A better solution might be to turn the pbmlife tool into a general cellular automaton tool...)

Withdraw Sabarimala affidavit, UDF tells govt.
by Special CorrespondentThe United Democratic Front (UDF) on Friday asked the State government to withdraw its affidavit on the Sabarimala women entry issue if it wanted to show any commitment towards devotees. If the government were to stick to its current affidavit, it would lead to a setback before the seven-member Bench.
‘Stance vindicated’
Addressing a press conference after a UDF liaison committee meeting here, Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala said the Supreme Court decision to set up a larger constitutional Bench made it clear that the earlier verdict by a five-member Bench was not comprehensive. It was a vindication of the UDF stance, he said.
It is in this context that the question of withdrawing the Sabarimala affidavit assumes significance. If the government fails to withdraw its affidavit, it will amount to letting down a large section of devotees.
The Chief Minister’s response to the Supreme Court decision was ambiguous. He cautioned the government against using the police to facilitate entry of women to Sabarimala as it would lead to a serious situation.
The government should create a conducive atmosphere for a peaceful pilgrimage.
Mr. Chennithala said it was unfortunate that the government had not carried out pre-season work to provide basic facilities to the pilgrims arriving at the hill shrine.
The UDF would depute its legislators to Sabarimala for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation.

Film review by Kevin Patterson
8MM Rating: **1/2 (out of four) R, 1999 Director: Joel Schumacher Screenplay: Andrew Kevin Walker Starring Cast: Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini, Peter Stormare
8MM ventures about as far into the sleazy underbelly of America as any film I can remember. The plot, if you haven't heard, revolves around a private detective named Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) who is hired by a wealthy widow who discovers what appears to be a snuff film in her husband's private safe after his death. Understandably disturbed, she hopes that Welles can prove that it's a fake and that the woman apparently murdered in the film is actually still alive. Welles's investigation inevitably leads him into the world of underground pornography, where anonymous dealers congregate in back alleys and abandoned buildings to sell illegal hardcore videos that depict pedophilia, bestiality, rape, and other forms of depravity.
Some will undoubtedly be outraged over the film's graphic content. While director Joel Schumacher thankfully spares us the most disturbing images (he mostly keeps his camera on Welles's horrified reaction during his screening of the snuff film, for example), we certainly see enough brief clips of the hardcore films that even the most seasoned viewer will feel genuinely shocked, if not downright repulsed, at least a few times during 8MM. The film was reportedly trimmed down after initially receiving an NC-17 rating, and all I have to say about that is this is one case in which the distributor should probably pass on a "director's cut." Still, I can comfortably acquit Schumacher and screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker of any charges of exploitation.
Unfortunately, I can't acquit them of the charge of telling a pretty mediocre story: it certainly isn't boring, but there isn't much in the way of real substance. What 8MM should have done, I think, was to explore the psychology that leads people down these dark paths in the first place. Instead, it mostly proceeds according to typical Hollywood thriller conventions and without much character insight. Take, for example, Max California (Joaquin Phoenix), the adult bookstore clerk that Welles enlists to point him in the right directions as he tries to trace the snuff film's origin. Max is smarter than the people he works for (apparently the porn clerk position was the best job he could get in L.A.), which is why Welles latches onto him: at heart, he's a regular guy who recognizes this perversity for what it is. Obviously, I don't know a whole lot about Max's line of work, but it seems unlikely that someone like him would make a lot of connections in the illegal porn business. I think he'd probably come to work in the morning, take his paycheck, and go home. Of course, if that were the case, then Welles wouldn't be able to have a Trustworthy Wisecracking Sidekick (TM). Later, they meet a fringe S&M pornographer named Dino Velvet (Peter Stormare), who is frightening, but in an overly stylized way (he transfers his hardcore movies from film to video and is therefore considered the "Jim Jarmusch of S&M") that prevents the audience from taking him, or what he represents, too seriously. Yes, he's twisted and sadistic, but like Max, he only makes sense as a movie character and not as a real person.
The filmmakers flirt with the dark psychology a little bit, but in a way that's just marginally effective. At one point, Max warns Welles, "You dance with the devil, and the devil don't change: the devil changes you." Those of us who have seen screenwriter Walker's SE7EN can see where this is going: eventually, Welles gets to the stage where he feels he is justified in taking the law into his own hands against the people who made the snuff movie. But since most of the film is occupied with the details of the investigation rather than Welles's reactions to what he is discovering, we don't really identify with his character, and his transformation into a vigilante seems to happen only because the screenplay says so. What we end up with is a final half-hour that seems only loosely related to everything that preceded it. I could rationalize Welles's behavior, but I didn't find him sympathetic, unlike Brad Pitt's character in SE7EN, whose fall from grace I could understand even as I hated the fateful choice that he made.
Granted, some unsettling but worthwhile insights can actually be found in the final half-hour, as the callous disrespect for human life that led to the girl's murder is finally verbalized by those responsible for it.  Unfortunately, these confessions occur within the setup of yet another annoying Hollywood formula, where the bad guy is held at gunpoint and arrogantly proclaims his evil-ness and lack of remorse, even daring the good guy to pull the trigger. I've never understood why someone would behave like this. I mean, no matter how vile and depraved these people may be, wouldn't simple self-preservationism kick in at some point and make them shut their mouths?
Sitting on the bus on the way back from the movie theater, I looked out the window at an apartment building. Briefly, the thought crossed my mind: what if, in some back room of that building or in an alley behind it, a band of perverts were selling illegal child porn, or making a hardcore S&M torture movie, or even a snuff film? At that moment, I felt more disturbed than I did at any time during 8MM.  This, I think, is why these things are so horrifying, and this is also the point which 8MM explores only fleetingly. There are moments when I honestly empathized with Welles, such as when he can't bring himself to explain to his wife what he's been doing for the past few weeks and why he seems so sad and withdrawn, and I wish there had been more of them. The filmmakers could have crafted a compelling human drama about a man who journeys into the darkest corners of the psyche and becomes alienated from the life he had previously taken for granted, but instead they send Welles back out the door to play vigilante.
In the absence of much legitimate emotion or psychological commentary, 8MM is little more than a serviceable but unexceptional thriller that, along the way, takes something that most of us were probably aware of at some level and shows it to us in all its repellent sickness. The problem is not the content per se as the fact that the filmmakers seem don't seem to have anything interesting to say about it. What exactly are we supposed to take away from this film?  Thanks guys, but I kinda knew that already.

Tip Top staff pay strike expected to affect bread supply
More than 70 disgruntled Tip Top staff are striking outside of the company's factory in south Auckland as part of negotiations for a pay rise and overtime rates, impacting bakery production.
The strike began at 6:30pm on Saturday and will finish at 6:29pm on Monday, FIRST Union - which represents the striking workers - said.
Mark Bosomworth, general manager of the baking division of George Weston Foods - which owns the Tip Top bakery brand - said as a result of the strike, production of buns, rolls, crumpets and gluten-free products is expected to be cut in half over the next two days, affecting supply in the North Island.

SkyCity staff brave the cold to strike for better pay
"The strike action will reduce the company's production in Otahuhu and Wiri by roughly 50 percent, as more than 70 workers elect to strike.
"Shoppers living in the region defined as Kapiti Coast to Wairarapa, and north to Kaitaia will see this impact reach supermarket shelves on Monday and Tuesday.
"Through their Christchurch operation, [the company] is able to continue [its] supply of the majority of bakery products to Wellington and the South Island, so the impact [in those regions] will be minimal," Bosomworth added.
FIRST Union spokesperson Anita Rosentreter said workers are striking due to the company's ongoing refusal to offer a "fair pay rise" and a "premium on overtime and night work."
"The deal proposed by Tip Top would see the minimum wage overtake the bottom rate in the agreement.
"George Weston Foods is using their employees' low pay against them: they know our members have to work 50 or more hours a week to make ends meet.
"If they paid them more, they would be able to spend less time at work and more time at home with their families."
Bosomworth said 14 of the union's 17 claims had been successfully resolved and that staff are treated fairly, and he was disappointed by the strike.
"We are concerned that FIRST Union is talking about the details of the negotiation and making inaccurate and misleading claims, whilst we have [and will continue to] negotiate in good faith.
"We pay competitive rates, we provide good training and we provide a safe, modern work environment for our staff," Bosomworth added.
George Weston Foods is owned by Associated British Foods and manufactures well-known house-hold brands including Tip Top, Ploughmans, and Bürgen. Other bakery products manufactured by the company include Bürgen gluten-free, Golden crumpets, pikelets, bagels and muffins, Bazaar breads and the Speedibake range.
People on the hunt for gluten-free bread are unlikely to be significantly affected.
"Our Bürgen gluten-free Sunflower and Chia has been less impacted and we are doing our best to get back into full supply of the range," Bosomworth confirmed.
Tip Top bakery staff striking on Monday are expected to resume work after strike action finishes at 6:29pm. Non-union staff will be redeployed to other roles within the bakery.

Blocks, and Procs, and Lambdas! Oh my!
Blocks: You Already Know This
Blocks, procs, and lambdas all sound scarier than they actually are. A Ruby block is simply a small snippet of code that can be executed. In fact, you've probably used blocks before. Here are some examples:
puts numbers
end
[1, 2, 3].map { | numbers | puts numbers }
Blocks can be used with methods such as #each, #map, #collect, and many others. But why do some methods accept a block and others do not? The methods that do accept blocks have a way of giving over control from the calling method to the block and then back again. What is interesting, is that we can actually build this into a method that we create by using the "yield" keyword. Here is an example:
puts "We have just created a method!"
yield
puts "And now we're back inside our method!"
end
block_example { puts "And now we're in our block!" }
We've just defined our very own method, then we left the method to a block, and then returned back into the method. Pretty cool, right? You can also pass parameters to "yield". As usual, the best way to demonstrate this will be through example:
puts "We have just created a method!"
yield("26")
puts "In between our two yields!"
yield(age)
end
yield_ex("27") { | age | puts "I am #{age} years old!" }
OK, so what is going on here in our example? We created a method with "yield", as we did in our previous example, but with a few changes. Our "yield_ex" method is defined with one parameter, "age". The first time we call "yield", we give it an argument of "26" for the "age" parameter. And since "yield_ex" has a "yield" statement inside of it, we need to supply a block. This block is supplied when we call "yield_ex" on the last line.
The first yield statement passes "26" because that is the argument that we gave it. However, the second yield statement passes "27" because the argument inside of the original method is the parameter variable. On the last line, when we call "yield_ex("27")" we are giving that variable a value, and so it is passed. In other words, we can give yield a value ourselves, or we can call a variable and give it a value later.
Even though blocks have a lot going on inside of them, they are still fairly straightforward. Now let's take a look into procs.
Procs: Blocks You Can Save!
One of the most important rules that you will learn in Ruby will be to keep your code DRY. In other words, Don't Repeat Yourself. You want to keep your code as simple as possible, so that it is easy to change later on (as changes are inevitable!) The problem with blocks is that they are not objects in Ruby. They are one of the few exceptions to the rule in Ruby that "everything is an object."
Because of this, we can't save a block as a variable and then use it later. Does that mean that we it is impossible to keep our code DRY? What if we have to keep typing in the same block over and over again? That, my friends, is where procs come into play. Procs are simply blocks that can be saved and then reused again later. You only need to write it one time, and then you can use it as many times as you'd like! Let's look at an example of a proc:
num * 2
end
(1..10).to_a.map(×_two)
# returns [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20]
Let's break down some of the syntax that we used there. First, we called "Proc.new" and passed in the block that we wanted to save. In this case, we are simply multiplying any number by 2. Then, we can pass the proc by using parathensis and the "&" symbol to a method that would otherwise take a block. This way, we don't have to write the sampe block over and over again! Some other methods besides #map that we could have used to call the proc would be #collect, #each, or even #select.
Unlike blocks, procs are objects. They have powers that blocks do not have (such as being stored as a variable.) Also unlike blocks, we can call procs directly by using the #call method. The syntax for that goes like this:
example.call
# does that block of code!
Before we move on to lambdas, let's cover one more thing about procs. You can actually convert a symbol to a proc using &. These are used all of the time in Ruby!
integers = strings.map(&:to_i)
# returns [1, 2, 3]
Instead of writing { |n| n.to_i }, all we need to write is (&:to_i) and we're done! This might not seem like a huge difference right now, but as blocks become longer and more complicated, then procs become increasingly valuable.
Lambdas: A Little Bit Different
Lambdas are also objects in Ruby, much like procs. In fact, they are almost identical to procs except for a few key differences. The first difference being, of course, the syntax used to create a lambda. What is the syntax? Let's take a look:
As you can see, it's VERY easy to create a lambda! The next big difference between a lambda and a proc is that a lambda checks the number of arguments that is passed to it, while a proc does not. Therefore, a lambda will put out an error message if you pass the wrong number of arguments to it. A proc, on the other hand, will ignore unexpected arguments and put "nil" in place of any that are missing.
Finally, when a lambda returns, it gives control back to the calling method. However, when a proc returns, it does not go back to the calling method at all. To illustrate this concept, imagine that we define a method. Inside the method, we put in a proc, and then #call the proc. Afterwards, we have another few lines of code within the method before we "end". A proc will not run those last lines of code after it has been called. A lambda, on the other hand, will run the rest of the code.
And that's all there is to it! For some further reading, be sure to check out both Codecademy.com and Ruby Monk.
