United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) calls the ongoing Syrian conflict “the biggest humanitarian emergency of our era.” Since 2011, violence has led to nearly 220,000 lives lost, 6.5 million Syrians have been internally displaced, and over 4 million have fled across borders. While the written and photographic reporting of Syrian stories uses captivating imagery and testimonials to convey the traumatic experiences of individuals, the expression of these experiences in the accompanying cartographic coverage is limited.
I ask the following research question: How can the cartographic portrayal of Syrian peoples’ border crossings be improved to better represent their experiences? I interviewed seven humanitarian workers, activists, and displaced Syrians and through a critical feminist lens, I developed an alternative mapping solution that more accurately reflects Syrian border (traditional and non-traditional) crossings.
My Techniques
Sequencing
This technique paces the viewer through the story and emphasizes the individual border displayed on each page.
Border Symbolization
The border is the focus of each page and map layout. I developed bivariate line symbolization based on individual experience and the border’s porosity as described by the interviewee (see below). For the aggregated map, I used the median symbolization for all interviewees that mentioned a specific border.
Experiential labeling
I labeled each border with a passage taken from our interview to encapsulate the individual’s experience or perspective in one eyespan.
Voice
I focused on voice by separating my voice (serif typeface) as the cartographer from the voice of the interviewee (sans serif typeface). This kept the individuals voice on the page, while minimizing my outsider perspective.

Graduated from Kharkov State University in 1951.
PhD Phys & Math, Kharkov State University,1954.
DSc Phys & Math, Kharkov State University, 1963.
Received an academic status of Professor in 1967. Corresponding member of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine since 1990. Honoured Man of Science and Engineering, 1977. Was awarded with the state prizes of Ukraine (1978, 2001) and with the Sinelnikov Prize Of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 1999. Obtained the title of Doctor (honoris causa) of Kharkov National University in 2004.
In 1954-1957 worked at Chernovtsy State University, in 1957-1974 worked at Kharkov Institute for Physics and Technology, in the years 1974 – 2003 headed the department of theoretical physics at ILTPE.
Scientific activity is devoted to theoretical researches of electronic properties of metals, mechanics of real crystals and magnetoordered systems, nonlinear dynamics of the condensed media. Together with I. M. Lifshits established (1954) connection between the oscillation of magnetic characteristics of metals and the form of an electronic surface of Fermi (Lifshits-Kosevich formula) and in1953 discovered the phenomenon of quantum dimensional effect in the conducting films (the invention was registered in 1977).
Lattice dynamics of real crystals is one of the major sections of solid state physics which has been investigated in many researches of the department. These researches are devoted to study quasi-particle excitations in ideal crystals and in crystals with various types of defects, dislocation theory of plasticity and influence of defects on thermodynamic properties of solids.
Linear and nonlinear dynamics of anisotropic crystals and media containing extended defects (dislocations, layer defects of the interface type and external surfaces covered with monoatomic or multyatomic layers) were developed. In the case of linear theory the features of dispersion relations for waves and vibrations localized near the defects of the resonance type were studied, and the density of vibrations of the resonance type in the continuous spectra of crystal were analyzed. In particular the conditions are found when the vibration spectra of surface or localized waves has termination points at the border of the continuous spectra.
(A. Kosevich, A.Kovalev, Ye.Syrkin, K.Chishko, S.Feodosyev, and I.Gospodarev )
An original method of description of the vibration spectrum and atomic dynamics of complex crystal lattices was developed (V.Peresada). On the basis of this method multilayered crystals like HTSC, quasi-low-dimensional structures, and micro – and nanoclusters were studied .
( Ye.Syrkin, S.Feodosyev, I.Gospodarev, and V. Grishaev )
Nonlinear surface waves were investigated and a distribution of the deformation (surface displacements) in the dynamic surface solitons was described.


This is an extremely experimental, extremely unofficial project to enable browsing .onion sites and clearnet sites via Tor in regular Firefox. The strongest privacy protection for this activity is still Tor Browser and will be for a long time. To get Tor Browser, go here:
The purpose of this extension is to experiment with side-by-side integration of Tor and I2P in mainline Firefox and potentially, a hardened Firefox distribution.
This is a meager prototype, it lacks functionality and shouldn’t be used under any circumstances to protect your anonymity at this time. If and or when that becomes an option, the contexts in which that is true will be made clear.
This plugin’s viability is directly related to the viability of Mozilla and Tor’s work on hardening Firefox itself and of particular interest are the “Uplift” and “Fusion(Firefox Using Onions)” projects.
Project uplift seems to have largely been accomplished?

Coronary Artery Calcium
by Aisha Alam, Shivam Patel, and Kiriti Vattikonda
Product 1: video
Product 2: blog post
Take the following quiz to discover how good your eating habits are. The quiz starts on slide number 2. On each slide, select an answer by clicking on the proposition that corresponds better to your personal case. Completing the quiz should not take you more than 2 minutes. The quiz is completely anonymous and no data will be collected.
Based on the results of the quiz you may be wondering how diet contributes to your heart attack risk. The answer lies in understanding Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) and its effect in predicting heart attacks. As we age calcium builds on the walls of our arteries and the build up is greatly influenced by what we eat. If there is too much calcium build up in the arteries, the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart is impaired which increases your risk of having a heart attack. In order to prevent a future heart attack, it is a good idea to begin reflecting on your current lifestyle.
Think about your own eating habits at the moment. When we are teenagers and young adults, we all believe we can eat whatever we want without any worries. However only until we become middle aged adults do many of us begin to consider healthier eating habits, eating more fruits and vegetables as well as cutting back on fats and sweets, to prevent chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. However in the recent study, “The Association of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption During Early Adulthood With the Prevalence of Coronary Artery Calcium After 20 Years of Follow-Up: The CARDIA Study,” people’s dietary choices were tracked, especially their fruits and vegetables intake over the course of 20 years. The study showed that that it’s much better to start eating fruits and vegetables during your early adulthood. Next time you think about grabbing a snack go for the blueberries and kale instead.
In the study Dr. Michael Miedema and his colleagues reviewed the eating habits of a population of 2,500 men and women between ages of 18 to 30. The researchers conducted scans of the heart to check for coronary calcium. Coronary calcium is a good indicator of heart attack risk because it measures the amount of calcium, a component that can build up as plaque, and narrow the heart vessels to cause a heart attack. The findings of the study show that if you eat seven to nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day versus two to four servings a day you can, on average, reduce your heart attack occurrence by 25%. Now you may be wondering that there are other factors affecting coronary artery calcium such as exercise, smoking, high blood pressure, or elevated blood sugar. However the researchers adjusted for these factors and still found diet to significantly impact coronary artery calcium.
The bottom-line is it is important to eat healthy early on as it can have a huge impact on your heart health. Now you may be thinking I hear this all the time but if you consider what Dr. Miedema has to say, he notes that “We assumed that eating healthy in your younger years was important, but we didn’t know for sure.” With all this in mind there is now solid scientific evidence that what our mother has being saying to us all those years was right—eat your fruits and vegetables to grow up big and strong.

I am a photographic artist, and have been creating fine art for nearly 40 years.
Previously my website was only for my technological side, but I'm planning on adding a lot more of my art, in the form of both my images and the thoughts /feelings behind them. So far I've only added a few pieces of my work to this site, but I do plan on adding more in the next few months. I may even post a few personal shots. 🙂
I have developed an approach to photography I call Abstract Realism. There is a philosophy behind this approach, but I haven't yet had the time to write it down in any way. My plan is to add my thoughts on this to the site soon.
While art is my passion, it is technology that pays the bills. I started programming in 1974 (!), and have been working professionally as a developer, consultant, DBA, and team leader for 30 years.
I have been working with the Python programming language for the last 15 years. Besides being powerful and flexible, it also comes along with a great community. While almost any programming language can ge the job done, I've learned that finding the right community of people will make your life much more fulfilling. Let's face it: technology can be cold sometimes; adding the human element to it makes it, well, more human.

First, I must apologise to Stilton for hi-jacking his thread. I had inadvertantly asked a question in the wrong thread and have only just realised it, so sorry Stilton. The good part of this is all this delicious Concorde info that were are privileged to be receiving from M2dude and ChristiaanJ is all in the one thread. Unless anyone has any objections maybe the Forum Moderator could merged the other 2 threads into this one.
Thank you for the CoG answer. 6 feet sounds like an awful lot but then I am only able to compare it to the littlies that I fly. The ability to use the trim tanks to only have to use a \xbd\xb0 of elevon must have made a substantial impact on performance and the resulting reduced fuel consumption. To think it was all computer controlled at the time when the PC didn't even exist. M2, you have said that the fuel system was a work of elegance and the above desciption give me a small insight into this. I know that I am just going to have to find books written about this lady to find out more. I have been lazy when asking about item that I could Google but there was a method behind my laziness. When you and Christiaan share your knowledge there is always a personal anecdote or insight that will never be found in any books that I may be able to find. Gentlemen, for this THANKS seem so insufficient.  Gee I hope I have this even partly right. I assume that when accelerating to Mach 2, that it was done while climbing. I was initially stuck with the compression factor of Mach 1 and without thinking the same would happen at Mach 2 (A C Kermode was the hardest book I have read that I didn't understand ). Therefore with that in mind I was stuck trying to figure TOC=TOD. Am I right or even slightly so in thinking that cruise climb and cruise descent was the flight and there was minimal actual level cruise in the "pond" crossing? I had also forgotten to take into account the speed factor, DUH!! Subsonic climbs, what 35 - 45 mins to FL4xx and then it is in level cruise for the next 6 hours before TOD. The lady took what, about 3.5 hours, and the extra 20,000 feet it had to climb and descend ate up or into any level cruise it had (or didn't have).  I was in the jump seat of a B767 on a trans Tasman crossing, CAVOK, when about 2,000 feet lower a dot followed by a straight white cloud approached and passed by. I found that impressive so the 2 supersonics passing at the speed of an SR71 must have been spectacular. Shame radar track isn't available on You Tube. Oh yes, did they boom you? As you have said, fuel flow was reduced the higher you got. I think it was 5T per powerplant at FL500 down to 4.1T at FL600. Was there any figures for higher the Levels? I am curious to see how much less fuel would have been used at the higher FLs considering it was reduced by 900Kg/hr for just 10K feet. Very interesting what you said about when the temps were ISA+. I would never have thought such a small temperature change could have effected such a signifigant performance result. It also sounds odd, as you said, the faster you go the less fuel you use. Last greedy question for this post. How much of the descent was carried out while supersonic and how did this affect the fuel flow? |

M2dude,
Re your story about the Boston ATC comments about the "crossover". "That reminds me...." Ancient tale. There's this SR-71 Blackbird stooging around Cuba on a top-secret mission, at FL500+ and Mach 2+.... when they get a call requesting them to change heading "because of traffic at your altitude". Traffic at THEIR altitude ?? Anyway, they comply, and shortly, yes, there's an Air France Concorde out of Caracas (Air France flew there in the early days) slowly sailing across their flight path. Just imagine... two guys in bonedomes and full pressure suits, in a cramped cockpit, watching something like a hundred people in shirt sleeves or summer dresses, sipping their champagne and maybe just starting on their smoked salmon hors d'oeuvres, flying at their altitude and nearly their speed.... |

hi im not too familiar with PPRuNe yet and im not sure if this is the right forum but does anyone know why the SR71 didnt use a straight wing instead of an ogee wing like the concorde? if it could cruise above mach 3 then one would think the wing itself would be a more supersonic design rather than transonic. Straight wings reduce shock wave drag where as swept wings delay supersonic airflow which is useless in hypersonic cruise...

,
A "delta wing" is triangular. Look at the F-102, or the French Mirages, or the Avro Vulcan, or the Valkyrie. Those are delta wings. The wing of the SR-71 is much closer to the "ogee" wing of Concorde. Edit : sorry, you're not really wrong... the wing as such is pretty well triangular. The major difference lies in the 'chines', the flat horizontal extensions of the forward fuselage, and outboard of the engine nacelles. Their effect is the same as that of a "double delta", and similar to that of the "ogee" wing shape of Concorde. coobg002 , I'll try to give you a reasoned answer... but later. Dinner's been called!

I'm not an aircraft designer, just an avionics engineer with an aeronautical engineering background, so my answer can only be partial... Pity you cannot ask the question directly to "Clarence" Johnson, because he used both solutions for two of his best-known Mach 2+ designs... The F-104 had indeed a very small, very thin, straight wing. The SR-71 had a wing shape not totally unlike Concorde; admittedly the wing shape itself was more a delta, but the 'chines' of the forward part of the fuselage played an important role. I would say.... every design is a compromise. You don't start with a good-looking shape, you start with a specification. In the case of the F-104 it was for an interceptor, something simple and fast , with a (relatively) limited range.  Not exactly ideal at low speed... the F-104 had huge "blown" flaps and even so it was still pretty "hot" during approach and landing. As to what to do after an engine failure.... the procedure for a dead-stick landing was in the manual, but generally the "she flies like an angel, but she glides like a brick" would prevail, and you'd punch out. In the case of the SR-71, much like Concorde, it was the 'spec' that was totally different. Long-range supersonic cruise (hence space for fuel in the wing was prized), but also acceptable low-speed handling. Think of the repeated air-to-air refuelling for the Blackbird, or the subsonic sectors in a typical LHR-JFK flight for Concorde. So for anything that can still take off and land at an acceptable speed and perform well subsonically when needed, yet cruise at Mach 2 or Mach 3, the ogee/delta wing has turned out to be the best compromise.

| Brian Abraham 9th Nov 2010, 06:04 permalink Post: 688 |
The SR-71 tech notes describe it as having a delta wing (Ogee applies to an S shaped wing) where the outboard portion has negative conical camber to move the centre of lift inboard to relieve loading on the nacelle carry through structure. Also improves the max lift characteristics of the outboard wing at high angles of attack and enhances crosswind landing capability.
The chines improve directional stability at increasing angles of attack at all speeds, but their primary purpose is to provide a substantial proportion of the total lift at high supersonic speeds and eliminate the need for canards or special nose up (drag producing) trimming devices. |

As an example, F-BVFC at Toulouse, which was the last one to remain at least taxyable, now has some patches of corrosion starting to show, when you know where to look. Not to mention the nasty smell of damp and mould in the cockpit which bodes no good for what's going on underneath the floor. And even F-BTSD, kept "live" to some extent at Le Bourget, leaks some hydraulic fluid (like all Concordes did on the ground), so it's easy to imagine the dried-out hydraulic and fuel seals on the other museum aircraft. And yes, that's kitty litter... The composite material of the floor and the hydraulic fluid don't agree too well.

As a Yank, the Concorde was Europe's, including the UK, of course, Apollo project. And nothing short of it, either. Concorde required industrial cooperation and collaboration on a huge scale, ground-breaking technology that is still paying back in the 21st century and required political daring unheard of today. Huge applause!

SSBJ is Supersonic Business Jet Rog', there have been a few designs but the most famous (and had the most potential) was the Sukhoi-Gulfsteam S21. This aircraft would carry about a dozen passenges at Mach 2.2, with a range of 4,500 miles. Gulfstram pulled out of the partnership; there werer serious doubts about the viability of the Russian engine as well as serious aerodynamic issues too. I would not personally utter 'Concorde and Tornado' in the same breath Rog; you need to carry this 6 tonnes over more than several HUNDRED miles. There is absolutely no comparison between the performance of Concorde and the Tornado I'm afraid, you'd need to base any military adaption on a far better design than that. Although design of the powerplant for any future SST is pivotal to the whole design, you still need an aerodynamic model with a significantly higher lift/drag ratio than Concorde to make the project viable. And as good as the SR-71 was (I'm one of her biggest fans) she was still using afterburning/reheat at Mach 3 cruise. galaxy flyer

You are so right about the massive industrial collaboration required; it seems that there was so much more of a 'daring spirit' in the 1960's, makes you wonder where all the balls have gone today. (Oh I know, there are so much more deserving causes than aviation for us to spend BILLIONS of $'s and \xa3's on today). Nick Thomas No need to apologise for any thread drift Nick; this is such a diverse thread now; your points are perfectly valid here. And thanks for your kind comments again Nick; CJ the rest of the guys and myself are more than happy to bore the socks off of you and all the other posters and readers. hoofie So glad that you enjoyed your Concorde experience. The Jeddah flights were a fairly brief 'experiment',it would be great if one of my pilot/flight engineer friends here did a trip, we'll soon know. The double 'shove in the back' would indeed as you say have been the inboard/outboard reheat selection. Glad you are enjoying the thread, it is certainly bringing back memories for me about this seemingly eternal aereplane. jodeliste

Tonkorde.
Sorry Dude, didn't realise that use of the 'T' word would upset you so!
Perhaps you were frightened by one when you were a baby?
I picked the T*****o randomly to illustrate the contrast between a military supersonic design and Concorde. She
really
wasn't a converted bomber and even by using up every ounce of a Tonka's lifting capacity, it would still run out of fuel before it reached the Fastnet Rocks, let alone anywhere useful.
I must have missed something about the SR71 while we were discussing 'Inlet Thrust' on the other thread. I thought there was at least some part of the performance envelope where the Blackbird 'supercruised?' If not, then Concorde's ability in this area is all the more astonishing. While mentioning the SR71, a striking image of them - to me anyway - was of the streams of fuel, leaking from every seam of the fuselage immediately following in-flight refuelling. These apparently 'sealed up' when she expanded in supersonic flight. How did Concorde avoid this rather startling phenomenon? Roger. |

Come on Rog, let's not be silly now. I was not 'upset', and you can use the 'T' word any time you feel that you need to lad. It's just that you used a very poor example to use when, I don't know what your point was anyway, comparing Concorde with any other aeroplane. The J58 powerplant design for the SR-71 is superb, and considering the early 1960's era that it was developed, was nothing short of astounding. For Mach 3 cruise air is bypassed around the engine core and fed staright into the afterburner duct, where it supplied the afterburner directly. Still a remarkable design though, even now.
 I still wonder how much of the in-service leak maladies could be directly attributed to him. Dude |

| Feathers McGraw 14th Nov 2010, 23:00 permalink Post: 717 |
Fascinating stuff again Dude, I'd never realised that even that leak rate existed on Concorde but then maybe other airliners leak a bit too, I don't make a habit of walking around under them (more's the pity).
As for the SR-71, the construction was a bit like a lot of ribs with sliding clips that attached the skins to them, hence things could slide about to cope with the heating at Mach 3+. Kelly Johnson often referred to this as his "Mach 3 Ford Tri-motor". The fuel used (JP-7) had a tendency to rot the wiring in the aircraft, so they were re-wired quite often during their lives. All Sleds sat in pools of fuel when hangared, unless they were totally empty. Refuelling was usually carried out at about 33,000 feet, and as the tanks filled it became necessary to light minimum afterburner on one engine to maintain contact with the tanker. The nose was always yawed the same way because only one of the windshield panes was de-misted so this side was always used to maintain sight of the tanker's underside. After tanking a descent was commenced to about 26,000 feet to help with acceleration to supersonic speed, as far as I am aware all supersonic flight was made with afterburner selected. I remember reading some time ago that fuel consumption was in order of 8,000 US gal per hour. Not sure if that is an average or whether it covers only Mach 3 cruise. |

5 seconds I know, but it does at least compensate for my other screen hoggings. Some really nice shots of G-BOAG and the SR71. (I particularly love the 'business end' shot of the J-58, showing the 4 afterburner rings). I last visited OAG in Seattle about 5 years ago and the exterior had really suffered from the elements, being parked right next to a highway near one of the most beautiful but wettest cities in the USA. (Boeing told me that they were planning a re-paint, don't know if it ever happened though). The interior however was absolutely immaculate, thanks to the pre-conditioned air being pumped through the entire fuselage. (Now THAT'S the way to do it ). And as for the last photo..... (I laughed so much I almost fell of the chair). 1965 BEA Nice clip, pity it's an ambedded Flash movie. It is at a good resolution however, if you zoom in the web page it's really quite good quality.

This thread just gets better.
A couple of observations and a questionette, if I may? First, I'm feeling quite pleased with myself that I have largely understood the latest phases of discussion, re: Reheat Ignition and N1 resonance! To be fair I was a bit puzzled about 'Hot Streak' until Dude explained in a slightly different way. Then my first thought was; 'Cor crikey, isn't there enough heat on the turbine blades already?' It seems not, but it does raise the issue of TBE (TEB?) injection,
a la
SR71? I know the Blackbird used rather different fuel (JP8?), but is there not a similar chemical that would have done the same thing? Perhaps it was a reluctance to use 'exotic' chemicals in a civilian aeroplane?
The resonance issue is quite interesting, in that it appears to have affected all models of Olympus and was at roughly the same rpm on all. I take it that any attempt to damp specific frequency resonance would have adversely affected the performance? Which brings me to my questionette - given that Bristol-Siddley created the original design when jet travel was still quite novel, what was it about the Olympus that made it so capable in so many guises and for so long? Not only Concorde of course, but TSR2, warships and fixed electrical generators. Roger. |

Gnudi are a type of gnocchi made with ricotta and a sprinkling of Parmesan for flavour. They need to be left in the fridge for at least eight hours before cooking.
Place the ricotta in a large bowl and break up with a fork. Add the Parmesan and nutmeg and season with salt. Mix together thoroughly.
Put half of the semolina into a roasting dish or tray. Wet the palm of your hands and dip in the semolina – this will help the ricotta from sticking too much. Shape heaped teaspoons of the mixture into small dumplings – or if you want to avoid mess, use two teaspoons to make quenelles.
You should end up with between 24-30 dumplings, depending how generous you are. Drop the dumplings into the semolina and pour over the remaining semolina, making sure they are completely covered.
Cover the tray and put in the fridge for at least 8 hours, but preferably overnight. When you are ready to cook, remove the gnudi from and pat off any loose semolina.
For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and add the garlic. Cook very gently for 2-3 minutes, then add the chilli flakes and tomatoes.
Season with salt and pepper, then bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has reduced down – you don’t want it too thick, it needs to be fairly liquid to go well with the gnudi. Taste and add a pinch of sugar if you think if it needs it, then stir in the fresh basil.
To cook the gnudi, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Turn down to a simmer, add the gnudi, all at once, and leave to cook. When the gnudi start floating, they will be done – this will take around 4–5 minutes. Remove them carefully with a slotted spoon (be careful, they are fragile). Drizzle with a little olive oil.
To serve, flood a serving plate with sauce and drop the dumplings on top. Top with a little more Parmesan and basil leaves.


| This week, we are using MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen 3D printer for our projects. The size limitation of Makerbot is 25.2 L x 19.9 W x 15.0 H centimeters. It uses the process of additive manufacturing, which is laying layers of materials on top of one another. As a result, Makerbot also has the limitation that if the layer is larger than the layer below, the angle formed by their edges can not be greater than 45°. Otherwise, the material will lose its support and fall. | The advantage of Makerbot over FormLabs, a 3D printer that uses stereolithographic, is its price. The Makerbot printer itself is about 500 dollars cheaper than a FormLabs printer, and the material used by Makerbot, PLA plastic, is only one-third of the price of filament used by FormLabs. | The first project is to combine a model and my own head.

There was one bug causing problems with static linking that I had
already fixed, but I found another today. Both are fixed in the trunk
version of Gecode, and the fixes will be part of 2.0.1.

Review: DOWN IN THE DELTA [Miramax]
Starring: Alfre Woodard, Al Freeman Jr., Esther Rolle Mary Alice, Loretta Devine, Wesley Snipes
Director: Maya Angelou
Review by: Joy Wyse, The SILVER Screen critic
Do not dismiss Down in the Delta as a `black' film. The feeling of family that it portrays applies to any and all ethnic groups. It is only the specific connection to slavery that sets it apart.
Alfre Woodard, as Loretta Sinclair, stars in a role that deserves an Academy Award nomination. She is the unemployed and unmarried mother of a 10 year old son, Thomas, and a 4 year old, autistic daughter, Tracy. She lives in Chicago with her widowed mother RosaLynn Sinclair. Loretta's sense of hopelessness is obvious as she turns to liquor and marijuana to make it from day to day.
Unexpectedly RosaLynn receives a letter from her brother-in-law, Earl Sinclair, who lives in Biloxi. It seems that there have been bad feelings between RosaLynn and Earl because of `Nathan'.
In desperation, hoping that life away from Chicago's crime-ridden streets can help her daughter and grandchildren, RosaLynn sends them to Biloxi, a `dry' area, for the summer. She believes that Loretta can work for Earl in his chicken restaurant and regain some self-esteem.
Upon arrival in Biloxi they are surprised to learn that Earl's wife, Annie, is in the final stages of Alzheimer's. Esther Rolle could possibly be nominated for best Supporting Actress posthumously. She is totally believable as the delicate Annie.
Wesley Snipes is listed in the credits as a co-Executive Producer, as well as appearing in a relatively small role as Earl and Anne's successful lawyer son. There are numerous supporting roles worthy of recognition by other family members as by Loretta Devine as Aunt Annie's companion.
Maya Angelou, in her directorial debut, creates a film as beautiful as her poetry. It is only in the final montage that her direction falters. The last few scenes are anti-climatic and unnecessary. It is because of this that I give it an A-. I hope that it gets the recognition that it deserves.

--- layout: post authors: ["Greg Wilson"] title: "Why We Don't Teach Testing (Even Though We'd Like To)" date: 2014-10-30 time: "18:00:00" tags: ["Opinion", "Teaching"] favorite: true ---
If you haven't been following Lorena Barba's course on numerical methods in Python, you should. It's a great example of how to use emerging tools to teach more effectively, and if we ever run Software Carpentry online again, we'll do it her way. Yesterday, though, when she posted this notebook, I tweeted, "Beautiful... but where are the unit tests?" In the wake of the discussion that followed, I'd like to explain why we no longer require people to teach testing as part of the Software Carpentry core, and then ask you all a favor.
To begin with, though, I should make three things clear. First, I believe very strongly that testing is a key software development practice—so much so that I'm very reluctant to use any library that doesn't come with a suite of tests. Second, I believe that scientific software is just as testable as any other kind of software, and that a lot of scientists test their software well. Third, I think it's great that several of our instructors do still teach testing, and I'd like to see it back in the core some day.
So why was testing taken off the list of topics that must be taught in order for a workshop to be called "Software Carpentry"? The answer is that our lessons weren't effective: while most learners adopted shell scripting, started writing functions, and put their work under version control after a workshop, very few started writing unit tests.
The problem isn't the concept of unit testing: we can explain that to novices in just a couple of minutes. The problem isn't a lack of accessible unit testing frameworks, either: we can teach people Nose just as soon as they've learned functions. The problem is what comes next. What specific tests do we actually teach them to write? Every answer we have (a) depends on social conventions that don't yet exist, and (b) isn't broadly appealing.
For example,
suppose we wanted to test the
the Python 3 entry
in the n-body benchmark game.
The key function,
advance
,
moves the system forward by a single time step.
It would be pretty easy to construct a two-body system
with a unit mass at the origin
and another mass one AU away,
figure out how far each should move in a single day,
and check that the function got the right answer,
but anything more complicated than that runs into numerical precision issues.
At some point,
we have to decide whether the actual answer
is close enough to the expected answer
to count as a pass.
The question learners ask (quite reasonably) is,
"How close is close enough?"
My answer was, "I don't know—you're the scientist." Their response was, "Well, I don't know either—you're the computer scientist." Books like these aren't much help. Their advice boils down to, "Think carefully about your numerical methods," but that's like telling a graphic designer to think carefully about the user: a fair response is, "Thanks—now can you please tell me what to think?"
What I've realized from talking with people like Diane Kelly and Marian Petre is that scientific computing doesn't (yet) have the cultural norms for error bars that experimental sciences have. When I rolled balls down an inclined plane to measure the strength of the earth's gravity back in high school, my teacher thought I did (suspiciously) well to have a plus or minus of only 10%. A few years later, using more sophisticated gear and methods in a university engineering class, I wasn't done until my answers were within 1% of each other. The difference between the two was purely a matter of social expectations, and that's true across all science. (As the joke goes, particle physicists worry about significant digits in the mantissa, while astronomers worry about significant digits in the exponent, and economists are happy if they can get the sign right...)
The second problem is the breathtaking diversity of scientific code. Scientific research is highly specialized, which means that the tests scientists write are much less transferable or reusable than those found in banking, web development, and the like. The kinds of tests we would write for a clustering algorithm will be very different from those we'd write for a fluid dynamics simulation, which would in turn be different from those we would write for a program that flagged cancerous cells in microscope images or one that cleaned up economic data from the 1950s.
For example, Lorena Barba commented on an earlier version of this post by saying:
You reference in your post our lesson on the full (nonlinear) phugoid model...
If you notice there, and also in the earlier lesson on the simpler linear model, we introduce grid-convergence analysis—a methodical way of executing code verification in numerical computing. This is not common: hardly any beginner course in numerical methods will cover observed order of convergence in this way. I believe this is the right approach: we are emphasizing a technique that should be used in practice to show evidence that the code is computing a numerical solution that converges as expected with grid refinement.
That's another example of what makes Lorena's course great, but (a) the testing method isn't something that a microbiologist or economist would ever use, and (b) that notebook also includes this:
The order of convergence is p = 1.014See how the observed order of convergence is close to 1? This means that the rate at which the grid differences decrease match the mesh-refinement ratio. We say that Euler's method is of first order, and this result is a consequence of that.
How far away from 1.0 would the order of convergence have to be in order for someone to suspect a bug in the code? 1.1? 1.5? 2.0? Or should 1.014 itself be regarded with suspicion? Any test, automated or otherwise, must answer that question, but those answers are going to vary from domain to domain as well.
In theory, we can solve this by writing different lessons for different communities. In practice, that requires more resources than we have, and we'd still have to decide what to do in a room containing economists, microbiologists, and cosmologists.
I believe we can teach software testing to scientists, but I also believe that we have some work to do before we can do it effectively enough for most of our learners to put it back in Software Carpentry's core. What we can do to bring that day closer is start amassing examples of tests from different domains that include explanations of why: why these tests, and why these tolerances? You can see my attempt at something like this here, but that example deliberately doesn't use floating point so that the question of error bars didn't arise.
So here's my challenge.
I'd like you to write some unit tests for the advance
function
in the n-body benchmark game
and then share those tests with us.
I don't care what language you use (source is available in several),
or which unit testing framework you pick.
What I want to know is:
You can send us your tests any way you want, and I will happily send Software Carpentry t-shirts to the first half-dozen people to do so.
My thanks to Lorena Barba, Matt Davis, Justin Kitzes, Ariel Rokem, Fernando Pérez for feedback on an earlier draft of this post.

Labour's plans to part-nationalise BT 'illegal under EU law', Conservatives say
by Michael SearlesLabour’s plans to nationalise BT’s digital arm to provide free internet would be illegal under European Union state aid rules according to the Conservative Party.
The opposition pledged this week to provide the public and businesses throughout the country with free full-fibre broadband by 2030.

But the £20bn plan was met with scepticism by BT, which said it would cost nearer £40bn.
Today the Conservative Party has said it would likely be illegal under EU law too and as such is at conflict with Labour’s desire to remain in the bloc.
“Their intervention will almost certainly fly in the face of EU state aid rules under EU law,” the Conservatives said in a statement. “Corbyn’s broadband plan will almost certainly be illegal under EU law.”
Leader Jeremy Corbyn has insisted Labour will renegotiate a Brexit deal and then hold a second EU referendum if his party wins the general election on 12 December.
Read more: Four reasons to fear Labour’s free broadband plans
In that campaign Labour has suggested it would back Remain, but the Tories believe staying in the EU would make Labour’s plans to nationalise part of BT impossible.
They added in a statement: “Corbyn’s Labour won’t be able to introduce their scheme unless they ditch their plan to extend Britain’s membership of the EU and abandon their plans to hold a chaotic second referendum.”


The validation rules have a very simple syntax similar to Laravel validation syntax.
A validation expression is a string of a series of validators separated by a pipe |
:
vee-validate
Comes out of the box with many validation rules, which are:
date_format
rule to be always present and must preceed them in the rules order. The date validators are not enabled by default, they require momentjs in order to work.
If your setup contains momentjs globally, it will be installed automatically for all validator instances. otherwise you may want to pass the moment reference to installDateTimeValidators(moment)
which is available both statically and on instances.

You can easily add custom rules to the validators, but your custom validation rules must adhere to a contract, or certain structure:
Function Form:
This is the most basic custom validator form, it consists of only a function that returns either a Boolean or a promise. However it will have a default error message.
validate
method, and either a getMessage
method, or a messages
object.
The only difference that the latter will allow you to add localized messages, the former only adds it to the English dictionary.
messages
methods gets passed the field
which is the name of the field under validation as a first parameter.
And how the validate
method gets passed the value as a first parameter.
And both receive the args
which are the parameters (arguments) that were configured with the validation rule.
for example look at the actual implementation of the min rule.
ValidatorException
with a suitable error message detailing what were you missing.
After creating your validator, You can add it to the list of rules using extend(name, validator)
method in the validator instance.
extend
either statically or on an instance will extend all validators with the new validation rule.
extending a new rule that have the same name as an existing rule will throw a ValidatorException
with an error message.
Of course you might need to overwrite the error messages, or add new ones. The Validator class and its instances provide an updateDictionary
method.
which will merge the messages with the internal dictionary, overwriting any duplicates.
Usually you would stucture your language files for your app rather than adding hardcoded strings like the example above, check the localization guide for a better approach.
dictionary.locale.message
