8 'radical' Labour manifesto policies that are totally normal in other countries
Everyone's talking about how the Labour Party's general election manifesto is the most radical in years - but a lot of the policies in it are the norm elsewhere in the world
by Mikey Smith, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/mikey-smith/Labour's general election manifesto has been described as the most radical political pitch in years.
Running to 107 pages, it includes pledges to renationalise the railways, take water services into public ownership and scrap tuition fees.
The party promise to extend free childcare to one and two year olds.
And it promises to return corporation tax to 26%.
This may be seen as radical in Britain, but some of Jeremy Corbyn 's policies already look familiar if you live abroad.
Here's eight 'radical' proposals in the Labour manifesto that look pretty ordinary overseas.
1. Nationalising the railways
Labour would repeal the Tories' 1993 Railways Act and bring the railways back under state ownership.
This would happen over a decade or so one network at a time, when each private franchise expires.
In Germany state-owned national operator Deutsche Bahn ran 94% of services on time and earned back nearly €2bn in 2015.
In France, government-owned SNCF Group recorded a net profit of €567m in 2016.
And in Canada, Via Rail is a 'Crown Corporation' which runs the rails on behalf of the government. It received $267m of state funding to plug losses in 2016, but passenger revenues grew almost 9.5%.
Admittedly EU law is a stumbling block to new nationalisation, because it pushes "greater competition" on rail networks.
But that would cease to be a stumbling block if Brexit happened.
2. Nationalising water
Labour promise to bring the water network into public ownership.
That's just normal in most of the world - it's normal in many parts of the United Kingdom.
Publicly owned Scottish Water provides plumbing north of the border.
And while it's not totally nationalised, much of Wales' water is provided by Welsh Water - a not-for-profit company, which serves 3 million people.
In fact, England is one of the only countries in the world to have fully privatised its water and sewerage system.
3. Restrictions on gambling advertising in sports
The Labour manifesto promises to "curb gambling advertising in sports."
It doesn't go into more detail than that - but even in countries where sports betting is legal it's far from unusual for restrictions to be placed on advertising.
Many states in the US outlaw gambling on sports events altogether. Australia has banned gambling ads during sporting events - including on streaming services.
And Italy last year announced plans to ban gambling firms from sponsoring sports teams and stadiums, a move that has already been taken by Argentina and India.
4. Free university tuition
"We will abolish university tuition fees," the manifesto boasts. "No one should be put off educating themselves for lack of money or fear of debt."
Fees were introduced under Tony Blair and hiked to £3,000 a year in 2006 and £9,000 a year in 2012.
The Tories say it's right that people pay their way because fees subsidise the middle class, and the number of people going to university has soared.
But in Germany tuition's free, despite a flirtation with fees in the last decade and a recent move to charge foreigners.
There's been much controversy in Germany and talk of this being unsustainable, but Germany actually spent a smaller percentage of its GDP on higher education than the UK in 2012.
And it's not alone - neither Finland nor Norway nor Slovenia charge tuition fees for their own citizens.
5. Higher corporation tax
Britain's corporation tax rate is 19% and set to fall lower after the Tories cut it from 26%.
Labour is pledging to reverse this - which Boris Johnson falsely claimed would see Britain have the "highest rate in Europe".
But even 26% would be the lowest rate among G7 countries, according to the OECD.
Taking into account local government taxes, Italy 's rate starts at 27% and can go as high as 34.5%, Germany's works out between 30 and 33%, Japan 30.86 % - its lowest rate in decades, and France between 31 and 33%.
Labour's Jonathan Ashworth told the BBC: "We've had huge cuts in corporation tax under the Conservatives and normal people are not feeling the benefit of that.
"So we are going to ask corporations to pay a higher rate of corporation tax - something well in line with what other nations across the European Union are asking them to pay.
"This is not radical by the standards of our competitors and neighbours."
Boris Johnson had promised to cut the rate to 17% - but abandoned this pledge this week, despite having claimed just months ago that "every time corporation tax has been cut in this country it has produced more revenue."
The IFS rubbished this claim.
6. A rent cap
The manifesto promises to "stop runaway rents by capping them with inflation".
This does happen in other countries - but the best-known examples are at a local level.
Dublin and Cork in Ireland capped rises at 4% last year, with the Housing Minister saying: "We're putting a bridle on the horse that has almost been out of control."
Most parts of San Francisco in the United States have a rent rise cap of 2.2% this year.
German capital Berlin banned landlords from raising rents by more than 10% above the local average in 2015.
7. Free childcare for one-year-olds
The manifesto vows to extend 30 hours of free childcare a week to two-year-olds and "move towards" it for some one-year-olds.
Tory policy currently offers it to three- and four-year-olds.
This would be a massive policy for parents, but it's not unheard of.
Finland gives a universal right to childcare for all children between about nine months old and school age. This can include state-provided services.
The Tory government has outraged green campaigners by refusing to ban fracking. Labour says it'd end it.
8. A ban on fracking
Opponents fear fracking - in which liquid is pumped deep underground at high pressure to fracture rock and release gas - can cause problems including water contamination, earthquakes and noise and traffic pollution.
And it's already been banned in France, Bulgaria and Germany.
That's not to mention, erm, Scotland, where the SNP -run government announced an indefinite ban on fracking in 2015.

Anthony Joshua vs Andy Ruiz Jr venue completed ahead of heavyweight rematch
The Saudi Arabia venue which will host the second bout between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr has been completed in Diriyah ahead of their December 7 showdown
by Martin Domin, https://www.facebook.com/mirrorfightingThe purpose-built arena which will host Anthony Joshua's rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr has been completed.
The former heavyweight world champion took a tour of the venue on Sunday after touching down in Saudi Arabia.
Almost two hundred staff have worked around the clock for the last two months to construct the 15,000-seat Diriyah Arena which will be pulled down again after the final bell.
"The arena and site are utterly breath-taking, with a theme park and concert the night before as well," said promoter Eddie Hearn.
"It's like nothing we've seen before in boxing. The Clash On The Dunes will be a night to remember - we can't wait."
Joshua will bid to win back his three belts on Saturday week having been dethroned by Ruiz in June in one of the biggest shocks in boxing history.
Upon arriving in the desert, Joshua said: "It's going to be an incredible night and I'm thrilled so many of my fans are going to be there, particularly from the UK.
"It'll definitely be a night people will tell their grandchildren they were at, one of those iconic evenings of boxing. Everyone from Saudi has been brilliant to work with."
Concerns have been raised over Saudi Arabia's horrific human rights record and the country's bid to change its image through sport.
But both Joshua and Hearn have dismissed suggestions they were wrong to take the fight to the Middle East.
Ruiz was reluctant to face Joshua in Cardiff and was eventually convinced to travel from New York to the Gulf.
After The Bell: Watch Mirror Fighting's new boxing show
Mirror Fighting has launched a new weekly boxing show in association with Betfair in which we analyse the latest big fights, play matchmaker, and preview forthcoming bouts.
Former super-middleweight world champion George Groves provides expert analysis.
To watch the latest show in full, click here.
And the Mexican-American expects to face a different fighter than in his first encounter with Joshua.
"We’ve got sparring partners running around and being slick," he told told Sky Sports.
"A lot of people came to me and said that they wanted to help, like Michael Hunter.
"The only thing I’m doing differently is sparring. I’ve got a lot of different sparring partners in case he tries to switch his style up – in case he tries to box, or keep me away with the jab. We’re practicing.
"I’ve had an almost three-month camp for this fight. We’ve got more things done. We’ve practiced what AJ is going to do."

--- title: Growth hacking your startup with Dan Martell date: '2015-07-11T19:00:10+05:30' tags: - ml tumblr_url: https://sureshshanmugam.com/post/123805907580/growth-hacking-your-startup-with-dan-martell ---
Week 2 of Blackbox Connect. Off to a blazing start today with Dan Martell, on Social Marketing for Startups.
Dan was founder of Flowtown, acquired last year by Demandforce. He’s currently working on another startup, while advising and investing in others. He calls himself a growth hacker.
I like that title. It explains what pretty much every startup with lean marketing budget is trying to do.
His weapon of choice? Social media. Results kinda speak for themselves: ~22K Twitter followers; 17K Facebook fans; 15K email subscribers in the very early days.
He shared some killer insights into what worked at Flowtown. I managed to capture a few.


Zend\Barcode\Barcode uses a factory method to create an instance of a renderer that extends Zend\Barcode\Renderer\AbstractRenderer. The factory method accepts five arguments.
Getting a Renderer with Zend\Barcode\Barcode::factory()
Zend\Barcode\Barcode::factory() instantiates barcode classes and renderers and ties them together. In this first example, we will use the Code39 barcode type together with the Image renderer.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Only the text to draw is required
$barcodeOptions = array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK');
// No required options
$rendererOptions = array();
$renderer = Barcode::factory(
'code39', 'image', $barcodeOptions, $rendererOptions
);
|
Using Zend\Barcode\Barcode::factory() with Zend\Config\Config objects
You may pass a Zend\Config\Config object to the factory in order to create the necessary objects. The following example is functionally equivalent to the previous.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | use Zend\Config\Config;
use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Using only one Zend\Config\Config object
$config = new Config(array(
'barcode' => 'code39',
'barcodeParams' => array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK'),
'renderer' => 'image',
'rendererParams' => array('imageType' => 'gif'),
));
$renderer = Barcode::factory($config);
|
When you draw the barcode, you retrieve the resource in which the barcode is drawn. To draw a barcode, you can call the draw() of the renderer, or simply use the proxy method provided by Zend\Barcode\Barcode.
Drawing a barcode with the renderer object
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Only the text to draw is required
$barcodeOptions = array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK');
// No required options
$rendererOptions = array();
// Draw the barcode in a new image,
$imageResource = Barcode::factory(
'code39', 'image', $barcodeOptions, $rendererOptions
)->draw();
|
Drawing a barcode with Zend\Barcode\Barcode::draw()
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Only the text to draw is required
$barcodeOptions = array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK');
// No required options
$rendererOptions = array();
// Draw the barcode in a new image,
$imageResource = Barcode::draw(
'code39', 'image', $barcodeOptions, $rendererOptions
);
|
When you render a barcode, you draw the barcode, you send the headers and you send the resource (e.g. to a browser). To render a barcode, you can call the render() method of the renderer or simply use the proxy method provided by Zend\Barcode\Barcode.
Rendering a barcode with the renderer object
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Only the text to draw is required
$barcodeOptions = array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK');
// No required options
$rendererOptions = array();
// Draw the barcode in a new image,
// send the headers and the image
Barcode::factory(
'code39', 'image', $barcodeOptions, $rendererOptions
)->render();
|
This will generate this barcode:
Rendering a barcode with Zend\Barcode\Barcode::render()
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | use Zend\Barcode\Barcode;
// Only the text to draw is required
$barcodeOptions = array('text' => 'ZEND-FRAMEWORK');
// No required options
$rendererOptions = array();
// Draw the barcode in a new image,
// send the headers and the image
Barcode::render(
'code39', 'image', $barcodeOptions, $rendererOptions
);
|
This will generate the same barcode as the previous example.

Context
Modeling customers' choices is a key technique in analyzing how purchase decisions are made and also, being able to quantify the magnitude of feature trade-offs across product functions in a customer's decision process.
The basic idea of a choice model is to analyze which product a customer would prefer to purchase when she is presented with a collection of choices. For example, in fashion we want to analyze the scale of preference toward buying a black Gucci wallet priced at $2000 vs other choices of designers/colors priced $1500 to $3000. Most of the time, we are interested in much larger choice combinations (e.g. materials, promotion, shape).
Traditional approaches to choice models (e.g. MLM) assumes IIA (Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives), which cannot represent certain key phenomena. Several non-parametric methods have been studied and proposed; as we explored many of them, 4 proposed an interesting RBM variation that extends MLM to represent several scenarios where choices vary among customers. It is also straightforward to implement. Here is our quick and simple experiment.
Problem Formulation
Our goal is to estimate individual the trade-off effect of purchase given a choice set. Eventually, we want to apply the individual trade-off effect to all customers who we can observe such behavior. Beyond trade-off, we are also interested in attraction effect – a driving force of a product to alternative products when it is presented in the choices.
Many types of source data coming to mind when approaching this problem. Among them, website behavior is by far the richest; also we can directly observe each visitor's choices and her final selection. For each visitor to the website, we construct her choice set from products she viewed; the final selection is the product she purchased. We consider this level of design as demand based choice model.
In our experiments, we explored other forms of problem designs, and each one of them reflects very different types of choice phenomena. For instance, we can treat a visitor’s purchases as our choice set, and then the select set represents only those products she eventually kept and not returned. This problem design reflects some subtle decision as related to actual fit, size, quality or price change. We called this problem design utility based choice model.
There are many such designs can be defined based on the business use cases. Here we share the experiment of demand based choices.
RBM Network
In our experiment the size of choice set is 18000 (total number of unique styles). The average choices (average number of unique styles per visitor) is around 13. We implemented the solution using Python + Chainer on three NVIDIA GeForce TITAN X GPUs. The network is a binary RBM (visible and hidden) with adaptive weight decay. To speed up the training, we adopt K-contrastive divergence learning, which performs adaptive K-steps Gibbs sampling. The weights are updated through reconstruction error on the visible layer via sigmoid cross entropy.a
Results
We used the trained hidden-to-visible weights to calculate choice rate, which is given by the formula:
We can use these probabilities to compare any two products in a choice set.
Example:
We can also use our validation data to contruct actual choice sets and compare those with network calculations.
Example:
- Take the most frequent pairs of products in our validation data.
- Calculate their choice rate (this will be the "theoretical").
- Using validation data, calculate their choice rate from each choice set that they occur in (this will be the "actual").
- Calculate the KL-Divergence between these two distributions and use this metric as the graph weight.
We can also calculate an attraction effect. If we have two products in a choice set, how does the addition of a third product affect customer choice? The strength of the attraction effect of a product C on A is defined as:
- When this equation is greater than one there is an attraction effect.
- Product B is preferred much more than product A.
- After the addition of a product C, the probability of product A has increased almost 15 fold.
While not all product combinations exhibit this attractive behavior, several do and can be represented in a graph where the attractiveness is represented as an arrow (note our example in the bottom-right corner).
Next Steps
6 introduces a deep choice model that combines autoencoder encoded features with RBM.

W3 Collaboration - Summer 2019 Meeting
Meeting Notes
Questions from GTRI
- Does the user have parameters, functions, and variables to choose from or is it completely arbitrary? If arbitrary, how do you compare two models using your IR?
- It is “arbitrary”. A given VDSOL will have a predefined palette, but the palettes are designed to be flexible and extensible. Model comparison is envisioned to happen in two major ways.
- Structural similarity - Are the models structurally equivalent? This can be found by using a normal form of the underlying mathematical model, or by generating the state-space for finite state models, or a bounded approximation of the state-space for models with infinite space.
- Similarity and bisimilarity with respect to reward variables - This is probably the “right” way to identify similarity or compare models in most cases. Domain knowledge, coupled with reward variables defined over the model leads to comparable outcomes for reward variables. Model comparison is done not on the models themselves, but measures computed on their reward variables.
- AMDIOL backend can perform transformations on a model resulting in more performable versions of a model for “efficient” solution and takes into account “structural optimizations” to solve a set of reward variables to determine model equivalence. Can you explain how to determine structural optimization and what determines an efficient solution?
- This is meant as a general statement. We view the AMIDOL IR like LLVM’s bytecode. It’s a universal mathematical language on which transformations can be performed in a domain-agnostic fashion. For example - state space lumping techniques. Say we have the following set of chemical equations: and . Any estimate for a reward variable on the population of is also an estimate for the equivalent reward variable on the population of . Symmetry detection in Petri-nets reduces to a previously solved problem, which means there is a more efficient solution for this model than the naive solution of the entire system.
- Efficient solution in this case refers to the speed up gained through the application of transforms of this sort or other similar ones. E.g. importance sampling, importance splitting for stiff system solution; antithetic variance methods; batch-means simulation; etc.
- If you have two instances of a single model, both with different reward variables, does this result in two entries in the database?
- We haven’t implemented the database yet, so this isn’t solved as of yet. It seems to relate to model similarity. Do we want to fuse multiple models if they are equivalent? My initial thought is that we do not. We may want to connect them, but exact symmetry is hard to guarantee without explicitly generating the state-space.
- Does the database store all the results from all the past models that it has seen before?
- We’d like it to be as comprehensive as possible. The database is a Phase II goal, and not yet complete.
- Is the noun/verb labeling automated or manually provided?
- Manually. We envision this also being something that could be a by product of TA1 performers. We’d like to explore automatic labeling.
- “Model composition in AMIDOL is being designed to support state sharing and event synchronization” – In terms of the state sharing , how do you tell two states are equivalent and can be shared between models?
- State sharing is semantic knowledge from the modeler. It has to be specified. The best results in the previously studied literature advises human-machine teaming solutions which range from simple “share all similarly named state variables” to interactive processes.
- Labels from the source material from TA1 performers might help?
- How does the union of predicates of an event contribute to the model?
- The union of input predicates creates a composed event which is enabled only when both of it’s shared event “parents”’ predicates evaluate to true.
- The union of output predicates creates a composed event whose state transition function is the same as the union of the it’s shared “parents”.
- In essence - it is only enabled if both of its “parents” would be enabled, and when fired has the same effect as if both of its “parents” fired.
- How is selection handled when cardinality of either set of predicates is > 1?
- Discussion point: I’m not sure what selection refers to here.
- How do you know that the noun specified by a user can be tied to an event? Is this determined by the predicates?
- Nouns are connected to verbs via arcs. Right now nouns and verbs have input and output sets. Those sets are shared on connection. The input and output sets are sets of state variables. The IR defines a noun or verb explicitly with those state variables. Any event in a noun or a verb has its input predicate specified in terms of state variables local to the noun or verb’s IR model.
- How to identify input predicates that trigger events?
- Discussion point: I’m not sure what is meant to here. Input predicates do not trigger events. Input predicates determine if an event is enabled and can fire. In the discrete interpretation (for ABM, or discrete event simulation) the event list is scanned for enabled events whenever state variables change. In the continuous interpretation, for event with rate , and output predicate there is an equivalent set of flow locations for each set defining a state variable translations equal to .
- “In practice, they are implemented as integers, and floating point numbers by the AMIDOL source code.” How is this done? Again how are States determined?
- State variables are just variables in the executable code, either integers or floating point numbers. State variables are determined from the VDSOL. States can be generated through the application of a state space generation algorithm to the AMIDOL IR.
- How is the rate function distribution determined, is it user-defined or empirically derived?
- User defined from the TA2 perspective. In theory we could extract them with the help of a TA1 performer. They’re quite easy to determine from most formal model specifications. Let’s work an example using SIR, and the crystalization model.
- Impulse Reward Variables where is the reward for the completion of events, scope seems to be large, how is this determined?
- Impulse and rate rewards are tools to define a measure. For an impulse reward variable with reward and event , we create an acccumulator variable . If is defined as an instant of time reward, it is trivially 0. If is defined as an interval of time reward from , then the continuous interpretation is simply . The discrete interpretation is determined by creating an accumulator that is incremented whenever $e$ is fired and the simulation time .
- How to determine the rewards that come out of events?
- Rewards do not come out of events. Reward variables are computed over a model. They are formal measures defined on a model.

--- title: Automation Doesn’t Have to be Efficient author: Freddy Drennan date: '2018-04-29' slug: automation-doesn-t-have-to-be-efficient categories: [] tags: [] ---
When I think of a human being replaced by a machine, I typically think of the machine as doing the exact same job more efficiently with the same amount of quality. I don’t think this has to be the case.
One of the greatest costs to a company is human capital. It’s intuitive to think about a space between profit for the company and value to the customer, that wages put pressure on.
The specific case that I am considering is where an employee takes cash from a customer uses that cash on behalf of the customer.
Case 1:
Now consider the other example were a less efficient machine uses more cash but derives benefits to both the company and the customer.
Case: 2
While this is more of a philosophical exercise - it seems plausible that there are cases where models which use customer cash less efficiently can still derive more value to the company and the customer.
This is because the model frees up more cash by removing the employee. This increased amount of cash overcompensates for the lack of efficiency. Suppose the employee initially cost 200 dollars a day. If the model can perform as well as the employee using an additional 180 dollars, then this entails profit of 10 dollars for the company and a cost reduction of 10 dollars for the customer.
Consider index funds vs active managers.
Index funds get you 95% of the way there for investing. Active managers fill the remaining 5% but are much more costly. Remove the active manager, which costs as much as the first 95%, and invest the cost of the manager back into your portfolio.
The model doesn’t have to be as efficient as the employee, all else equal. The model just has to do a good enough job with the additional cash saved by replacing the human.
To be fair, I find this a bit disturbing.


Over the past few weeks, misinformation about the new coronavirus pandemic has been spreading across social media at an alarming rate.The sheer number of false and sometimes dangerous claims is worrying, as is the way people are unintentionally spreading them in ever wider circles.

This text analysis is part of my poster (co-authored with Rodrigo Werle and Sarah Marinho) presented at the 2020 Virtual North Central Weed Science Society NCWSS annual meeting (December 2020). Here I am presenting part of that abstract focused on weed species ranked amongst the top 100 words from 2001 through 2020 (I am adding the 2020 meeting proceedings to this analysis). I am also running the text analysis with less coding than for the 2020 NCWSS meeting which is what I am going to show in this analysis. If you are only interested in the final figure, please scroll to the bottom of this page.
First we have to load the packages needed for this analysis. Please run the codes below:
library(tidyverse)
library(tidytext)
library(textreadr)
library(pdftools)
library(ggtext)
# if you do not have any of these packages installed, please run install.packages("name_of_the_package")
I have downloaded all NCWSS proceedings and added into a folder named “docs” (you can name the folder as you choose). You can find all PDFs here (folder “docs”).
I used the str_c function to get all PDFs, which are in the folder “docs”. ThePDFs output contains the path for all 20 NCWSS proceedings.
pdfs <- str_c("docs", "/", list.files("docs", pattern = "*.pdf"),
sep = "")
pdfs
## [1] "docs/nc2001.pdf" "docs/nc2002.pdf" "docs/nc2003.pdf" "docs/nc2004.pdf"
## [5] "docs/nc2005.pdf" "docs/nc2006.pdf" "docs/nc2007.pdf" "docs/nc2008.pdf"
## [9] "docs/nc2009.pdf" "docs/nc2010.pdf" "docs/nc2011.pdf" "docs/nc2012.pdf"
## [13] "docs/nc2013.pdf" "docs/nc2014.pdf" "docs/nc2015.pdf" "docs/nc2016.pdf"
## [17] "docs/nc2017.pdf" "docs/nc2018.pdf" "docs/nc2019.pdf" "docs/nc2020.pdf"
Next you will name all PDFs. If you run the code below, list.files will keep the PDFs names as shown in the code above.
pdf_names <- list.files("docs", pattern = "*.pdf")
pdf_names
## [1] "nc2001.pdf" "nc2002.pdf" "nc2003.pdf" "nc2004.pdf" "nc2005.pdf"
## [6] "nc2006.pdf" "nc2007.pdf" "nc2008.pdf" "nc2009.pdf" "nc2010.pdf"
## [11] "nc2011.pdf" "nc2012.pdf" "nc2013.pdf" "nc2014.pdf" "nc2015.pdf"
## [16] "nc2016.pdf" "nc2017.pdf" "nc2018.pdf" "nc2019.pdf" "nc2020.pdf"
Here is where the magic occurs, I will use the function map of the package purrr (tidyverse core). Using map function saves coding and time.
pdfs_text <- map(pdfs, pdftools::pdf_text)
This “magic” is called iteration, so instead of running the analysis by each year we can run it all together. Running pdfs_text alone you get you all proceedings organized as a list. I am not running pdfs_text here because it is a large output. Nonetheless, pdfs_text is not tidy for the analysis yet.
The iteration with map function should be proceeded with a tibble function to organize the proceedings of each year.
pdf <- tibble(document = pdf_names, text = pdfs_text) %>%
mutate(year = 2001:2020) # adding a column for each year
pdf
## # A tibble: 20 x 3
## document text year
## <chr> <list> <int>
## 1 nc2001.pdf <chr [211]> 2001
## 2 nc2002.pdf <chr [211]> 2002
## 3 nc2003.pdf <chr [205]> 2003
## 4 nc2004.pdf <chr [188]> 2004
## 5 nc2005.pdf <chr [229]> 2005
## 6 nc2006.pdf <chr [216]> 2006
## 7 nc2007.pdf <chr [248]> 2007
## 8 nc2008.pdf <chr [215]> 2008
## 9 nc2009.pdf <chr [165]> 2009
## 10 nc2010.pdf <chr [111]> 2010
## 11 nc2011.pdf <chr [174]> 2011
## 12 nc2012.pdf <chr [145]> 2012
## 13 nc2013.pdf <chr [143]> 2013
## 14 nc2014.pdf <chr [107]> 2014
## 15 nc2015.pdf <chr [120]> 2015
## 16 nc2016.pdf <chr [110]> 2016
## 17 nc2017.pdf <chr [136]> 2017
## 18 nc2018.pdf <chr [125]> 2018
## 19 nc2019.pdf <chr [233]> 2019
## 20 nc2020.pdf <chr [174]> 2020
As you can see in the tibble (data frame) above, each proceeding is stored as a list by each year (e.g., <chr [248]>).
Now that we have a tidy tibble, we can proceed with the tokenization using the function unnest_tokens.
pdf1 <- pdf %>%
unnest(text) %>% # pdfs_text is a list
mutate(text = str_to_lower(text), # making all text lower case
text = str_replace(text, "2,4-d",
"twofourd"), # need to replace it
text = str_replace(text, "marestail",
"horseweed")) %>% # marestail = horseweed
unnest_tokens(word, text, strip_numeric = TRUE)
pdf1 %>%
slice_head(n = 10)
## # A tibble: 10 x 3
## document year word
## <chr> <int> <chr>
## 1 nc2001.pdf 2001 industry
## 2 nc2001.pdf 2001 donations
## 3 nc2001.pdf 2001 of
## 4 nc2001.pdf 2001 intellectual
## 5 nc2001.pdf 2001 property
## 6 nc2001.pdf 2001 rights
## 7 nc2001.pdf 2001 to
## 8 nc2001.pdf 2001 universities
## 9 nc2001.pdf 2001 thomas
## 10 nc2001.pdf 2001 s
Notice that I used mutate function to change 2,4-D to “twofourd” because tokenization would split it in 2, 4 and D. Because the species has more than one common name, I treat marestail = horseweed.
Next we need to remove the “stopwords”. Stopwords are words like “in”, “and”, “at”, “their”, “about” etc. The function get_stopwords from tidytext package has five “stopword” sources, I will add them all and stored in stopwords. See below:
stopwords <- get_stopwords("en", source = c("smart")) %>%
bind_rows(get_stopwords("en", source = c("marimo"))) %>%
bind_rows(get_stopwords("en", source = c("nltk"))) %>%
bind_rows(get_stopwords("en", source = c("stopwords-iso"))) %>%
bind_rows(get_stopwords("en", source = c("snowball")))
stopwords %>%
slice_head(n=10)
## # A tibble: 10 x 2
## word lexicon
## <chr> <chr>
## 1 a smart
## 2 a's smart
## 3 able smart
## 4 about smart
## 5 above smart
## 6 according smart
## 7 accordingly smart
## 8 across smart
## 9 actually smart
## 10 after smart
Now that I have a tibble called “stopwords”, I will use anti_join function to remove the stopwords from pdf1
pdf2 <- pdf1 %>%
anti_join(stopwords, by = "word")
The get_stopwords function with all sources attributes is not enough to remove all words needed for my goal in this analysis. For example, I do not want to have words like “virtual”, “kansas”, “werle”, “proceedings” etc. I have manually made a random “stopwords” for weed science meetings, please check the WSSA text analysis. I am bringing a “stopword” that I made in my previous analysis in a source code “stop_words.R”. You can find “stop_words.R” here.
source("stop_words.R")
I have saved it as stop_tibble, which is used also with anti_join function. The anti_join function as described above will remove all “stopwords” in stop_tibble from pdf2. Notice that here I am also using mutate to bring back 2,4-D.
pdf3 <- pdf2 %>%
anti_join(stop_tibble, by = c("word")) %>% # stop_tibble is in the source code
mutate(word = str_replace(word, "twofourd", "2,4-d")) # bring back 2,4-d
Next I will use functions to count words over the years, arrange it as descending, group_by year, rank top 100 words (row_number) and filter the top 100 words by year.
pdf4 <- pdf3 %>%
count(year, word) %>%
arrange(year, -n) %>%
group_by(year) %>%
mutate(rank = row_number()) %>%
filter(rank <= 100)
Now I have the top 100 words for each year (NCWSS proceedinds):
pdf4 %>%
slice_head(n = 10)
## # A tibble: 200 x 4
## # Groups: year [20]
## year word n rank
## <int> <chr> <int> <int>
## 1 2001 control 716 1
## 2 2001 weed 632 2
## 3 2001 glyphosate 475 3
## 4 2001 applied 427 4
## 5 2001 herbicide 369 5
## 6 2001 corn 358 6
## 7 2001 treatments 339 7
## 8 2001 soybean 257 8
## 9 2001 common 240 9
## 10 2001 yield 226 10
## # … with 190 more rows
In this analysis I am interested only on weeds present in the top 100 words in 2001 and 2020. Therefore, I am using if_else function to create new columns for highlighting selected weed species. You can change and select any word if want as I did it with herbicides in my poster at the 2020 NCWSS meeting.
pdf5 <- pdf4 %>%
mutate(highlight = if_else(word %in% c("amaranth", "palmer",
"kochia", "horseweed",
"grass", "nightshade",
"waterhemp", "velvetleaf",
"ragweed", "sunflower",
"foxtail"), TRUE, FALSE),
variable_col = if_else(highlight == TRUE, word, "NA"))
pdf5 %>%
slice_head(n = 5)
## # A tibble: 100 x 6
## # Groups: year [20]
## year word n rank highlight variable_col
## <int> <chr> <int> <int> <lgl> <chr>
## 1 2001 control 716 1 FALSE NA
## 2 2001 weed 632 2 FALSE NA
## 3 2001 glyphosate 475 3 FALSE NA
## 4 2001 applied 427 4 FALSE NA
## 5 2001 herbicide 369 5 FALSE NA

## 9 2002 corn 445 4 FALSE NA

_East_Is_East_ (R) *** 1/2 (out of ****)
Children rebelling against strict parents is common comedic fodder on television and the big screen, so it's a tribute to the makers of this British comedy that an idea as familiar as that is made fresh. Part of that has to do with the point of view, which is from an Anglo-Pakistani family, the Khans, in '70s Britain. The seven children born to Pakistani George (Om Puri) and the British Ella (Linda Bassett) want to be ordinary products of their turbulent times, but George insists on nothing less than a traditionalist upbringing for his kids, including arranged marriages for all of his sons. The lengths to which George--who is a big hypocrite, considering he's married to an Anglo woman, who is his second wife, no less--comes to assert his power over his family are monstrous, but Puri's performance adds an invaluable layer of vulnerability. Puri makes one believe that he really does love his family and wants the best for them; it's just that he refuses to see any beliefs other than his own as being so.
While there is serious grit to its story, _East_Is_East_, adapted from Ayub Khan-Din's play by director Damien O'Donnell and Khan-Din himself, is foremost a comedy, and there are plenty of laughs to be had from various domestic situations, culminating in one raucous climax. It's a credit to O'Donnell that the comedy not only doesn't cheapen the serious issues addressed in Khan-Din's story but that it feels like an integral part of the bigger picture. As a result, _East_Is_East_ is one of the rare films that gets to have the best of both worlds: hit serious and true emotional buttons while delivering a genuinely fun time.

Camping is available year round on all five islands in Channel Islands National Park in National Park Service-managed campgrounds. There is currently one established campground on each island: above the Landing Cove on Santa Barbara on the east islet of Anacapa, at Scorpion Ranch on Santa Cruz, at Water Canyon on Santa Rosa and above Cuyler Harbor on San Miguel. No camping is allowed on the Nature Conservancy’s western 76 percent of Santa Cruz Island. Limited backcountry camping is available on Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands.
(note: please visit our store for pricing or keep reading for more information)
Advanced camping reservations are required for all of the campgrounds. There are no entrance fees to visit the park. However, a reservation fee is charged for camping on the islands. The $15.00 per night-per site fee includes both the National Park Service fee that supports the operation and maintenance of the campgrounds and the reservation fee charged by the contractor that manages the National Reservation Service.
Reservations can be made no more than five months in advance. Information required for the reservations includes: camping dates, transportation information, and number of campers. Reservations can be made by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>. A confirmation notice will be mailed to campers. This notice needs to be presented to the island ranger upon arrival.
All campgrounds are located away from the boat landing areas. Visitors must carry all their gear to the campgrounds. No on-island transportation is provided. Please see the table below for more information on campground distances from landings.
Camping conditions are primitive, and users must camp within designated areas. All campgrounds are equipped with picnic tables and pit toilets. Water is not available at campgrounds and must be brought with you except at the Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz Island campgrounds. No trash containers are provided; campers must pack out their own trash.
Outer island campgrounds (San Miguel and Santa Rosa) have wind breaks for each campsite. Campsites are generally located close to one another.
No fires are permitted. Use only enclosed, gas camp stoves.
Since the mice do carry hantavirus, some basic precautions should be taken: 1) do not feed any wild animals; 2) keep food and drink in rodent-proof containers; 3) and prevent entry of mice into your tent by keeping it zipped up at all times.
Due to scavenging animals (including birds), campers are required to store all food and trash in animal and bird-proof containers. National Park Service food storage boxes are provided at campsites, but coolers, plastic Rubbermaid-type boxes or other types of containers with sealing lids may be used as well.
In addition, at the Scorpion Ranch campground on Santa Cruz Island, foxes and ravens are capable of opening zippers. To further secure your food and trash, safety pins, twist ties, paper clips and small carabiners are suggested to help keep zippers closed.
Campers should be prepared for a variety of weather conditions, especially on the outer islands. Thirty-knot winds are not uncommon on Santa Rosa and San Miguel Islands. Sturdy, low-profile tents, stakes and line for securing tents to ground, table or wind shelters are recommended.
Fog can occur on the islands during any season producing cool, damp conditions.
All of the campgrounds, except eastern Santa Cruz, are located away from trees and shade. Overexposure to the wind and sun can be a serious problem.
Visitors are advised to bring supplies for an extra day in case boats are unable to pick up campers due to sea conditions.
It’s advisable to check weather conditions before departing in order to get a sense of what to expect while on the islands.
Campers must be prepared for the primitive campground facilities and weather conditions. Supplies and gear are not available on the islands. Gear must be transported up ladders at most landing areas and carried some distance to the campgrounds.
Packing your gear in backpacks, duffle bags and containers with handles makes transportation easier. Items should weigh no more than 45 pounds each.
On some islands, visitors may get wet during loading and off-loading so waterproof your gear. An extra pair of shoes packed in waterproof material is recommended.
Campers should plan to layer clothing as weather conditions tend to change from cool and damp in the mornings to bright, warm, and windy during the afternoons. Clothing that protects against wind is advisable year-round. Hiking boots are recommended for most island trails.

Would you be interested in a “How To Promote Your Show or Film” ebook?
So, it’s new project season here at Guerilla Showrunner Towers, and as you may have seen on Twitter, I’m considering working on a more detailed manual for show promotion than I could offer in a blog post.
Now, I’ve made the mistake of developing something big without checking it’s needed before, and it just wastes everyone’s time.
So - would you be interested in buying a complete guide to promoting your online film or series? It’d basically cover the same strategies that I used to get BloodSpell 100k+ viewers and exposure on CNN and a whole bunch of other places, Kamikaze Cookery featured all over the ‘net, and so on, plus a whole bunch of new stuff I’ve learned in the last couple of years.
Topics I’m currently thinking to cover would include:
How to network outside the web series community to get your show wider exposure
How to make sure from Day 1 that your show has a large audience who will watch it.
How to use sites like Reddit, Digg, and Stumbleupon to drive the viewers you want to your film or show
Offline press - how to approach them, how to win them over.
How to use search engine optimisation and article marketing with your videos to create steady traffic streams.
Advertising - what works, what doesn’t, and where to get it at affordable rates
How to cut trailers, and how to use them
So - sound interesting enough to spend a bit of cash on? And if so, what topics would you be particularly interested in seeing covered?

Breast self-examination
Starting in their 20s, women should carry out regular breast self-examinations (BSE).
Consult a doctor immediately, if any changes in the breast are seen.
A regular BSE helps to know how the breasts normally look and feel and to notice any changes.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) procedure for a breast self-exam involves 2 steps:


Name: [[name]]
Religion: [[religion]]
Birthday: [[birthday]]
Birthplace: [[birthplace]]
Home: [[home]]
Family: [[family]]
[[ratingname]]
[[ratingtext]]


Font
Basic font styles. Global font styles are applied to the
,
, and other tags set in _global.scss. Styles can be adjusted from _evo_variables.scss.
evo-font

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

To force the default font style, apply an evo-font
class directly to an HTML element. Create a container for your text such as a

tag or

tag, and apply the evo-font
class. This class is not required.

This example demonstrates using the Slick.Controls.GridMenu to add a Grid Menu (hamburger menu on top right of the grid)
Possibility to add custom menu items via a simple array provided to the grid options (same concept as the header menu plugin)
Includes column picker list.
Optional title for the custom menu items (top section)
Optional title for the columns list (bottom section)
To dismiss the Grid Menu, user can click on the "x" on top right corner or anywhere outside of the Grid Menu
Possibility to attach the Grid Menu to an external button (try clicking on the button below).
You can also use some events like "onMenuClose()" and to trigger a resize of the columns with "autosizeColumns()" when "forceFitColumns: false"
Always show vertical scroll (with "alwaysShowVerticalScroll" flag), so that it works with small and large dataset.
Not using this flag, might have side effect on the UI with the Grid Menu overlapping with the data in background.


Mighty Joe Young (1998)
Director: Ron Underwood Cast: Bill Paxton, Charlize Theron, David Paymer, Regina King, Naveen Andrews Screenplay: Mark Rosenthal, Lawrence Konner Producers: Ted Hartley, Tom Jacobson Runtime: US Distribution: Walt Disney Productions Rated PG: action violence, mild language
Copyright 1998 Nathaniel R. Atcheson
Mighty Joe Young blunders about for nearly twenty minutes before we actually get to see a great big gorilla. His entrance, however, is a grand one: out from the trees he leaps, gargantuan and imposing, sporting hands big enough to crush a Volkswagen bug, and a pair of feet much larger than any pro basketball player will ever have. Joe bellows at the poachers before him, angry that they would like to kill him and sell him for millions of dollars. During this scene, I turned to my friend and said, "Wow. That's some ape."
Joe is quite a gorilla -- a big, digital gorilla. He runs around the fields, chasing cars and people. He picks things up and stares at them pensively. He breaks things on accident, because he's just too big to avoid clumsiness. Joe, as a special effect, is an image that might hold your interest for five minutes. As a character, he doesn't quite register. And the story he's been put in is as limp as they come. The words "Family Entertainment" have never been a stamp of quality, but Might Joe Young is just a silly special effects movie pretending to have a heart.
The picture is a remake of the 1949 film. It's mostly just about the big gorilla, but, strictly as a formality, the movie also has a few human characters. The main one is Jill Young (poor Charlize Theron, forced to waste her talent), a lover of gorillas. As a child, she witnessed a group of poachers murder her mother; now, she lives in the jungle to protect the wildlife.
Soon, zoologist Gregg O'Hara (Bill Paxton) discovers Joe; he quickly realizes that poachers want to get Joe and sell him to a big game hunter named Strasser (Rade Sherbedgia), who just happens to be the same guy who killed Jill's mother. So, in an effort to save Joe, Jill and Gregg take the big gorilla to a preserve, where it is instantly clear that he is not safe from poachers.  And, to add to the complications, Strasser shows up under a benevolent pretext (he tells Jill that he has a preserve big enough for Joe), and Joe recognizes Strasser as the guy who killed Jill's mother.
 This is just one of the many examples of stupidity in Mighty Joe Young, a film that fulfills every stereotype that comes with a Special Effects Film. The movie isn't really offensive -- it has some competent actors, a few nifty sets, and a lot of scenes with a big, digitized gorilla. But the story is really dumb, there aren't any characters, and the film isn't satisfying on any level beyond its visuals.
The movie also has bad dialogue. If a critic says that a film has bad dialogue, it's only fair to quote some of it, but most of the words spoken in this picture are phrases like "Joe isn't happy!" and "Joe isn't safe here!" "We need to get Joe out of here!" "Joe is way too big for that cage!" I don't know if these phrases are word for word, but they're close. As I said, the characters here are only present as a formality: they do little more than state the obvious (of *course* Joe is too big for that cage). Paxton and Theron are talented performers who deserve to work on a script that provides characters for them. Sadly, Mighty Joe Young wastes them both.
There are a few clever moments (although none of them are surfacing in my memory at the moment), and, as I said, the digital effects held my attention for at least five minutes. It's certainly not a bad film for kids; I doubt Joe will give them nightmares. But adults in the audience aren't likely to find much of anything interesting about the big gorilla. A big gorilla is only interesting for a little while; after that, something needs to be done with the big gorilla. Nobody ever figures out what to do with the big gorilla.

Wind tunnel data was taken for Boeing 787 and F-16 Fighting Falcon scaled-down models. Analysis was performed using Matlab to investigate the stability, performance, and landing speed characteristics of each design. All data was collected by undergraduate students in a low-speed wind tunnel provided by the University of Colorado Boulder. Models for the Boeing 787 (clean), F-16 (clean), and F-16 (dirty) were provided by ITLL Staff and the Aerospace Engineering department for experimental use. The F-16 Dirty model includes external fuel stores, weaponry, and other military add-ons that are considered part of the "combat design," while the F-16 clean and Boeing 787 clean models do not include any extra add-ons and are considered the "stock design."
Below are a few resulting plots for the project. The relationships looked at for the project were coefficient of lift vs angle of attack (CL vs alpha), coefficient of drag vs angle of attack (CD vs alpha), coefficient of meoment vs angle of attack (CM vs alpha) for each aerodynamic model. Also, tabulated result for landing speed (model), landing speed (actual), lift slope, moment slope, and lift-drag ratio were calculated from the data. (Only CL vs alpha plots are shown for brevity.)

This is how a children's play area in Gorton looked last night...residents aren't happy
Equipment and benches were left submerged in water at Sunnybrow Park
by Chris Slater, https://www.facebook.com/chrisslaterMENA children's play area was left under water after a park in Gorton badly flooded.
Locals say it is the third time this year it has happened at Sunnybrow Park off Hyde Road.
The park, which opened in 1905 and is named after a farm of the same name which stood on the site, is set in a natural steep valley.
The Gore Brook, a fast flowing stream which runs under Hyde Road from Gorton Reservoir, runs through the middle of the park.
The park is popular with both dog walkers and parents.
But in bad weather, nearby residents say it is common for the area to be flooded if the culverts become blocked.
On Thursday evening, after a day of heavy rain, a huge swathe of the council run park was left under water.
Equipment such as swings and a climbing frame in a children's play area was submerged in what appeared to be several feet of water. Benches were barely visible.
A bridge which allows people to walk over the brook was also completely flooded, meaning people could not cross it and were forced to walk round.
The council say leaves which have fallen from trees in the park blocked a culvert with heavy rain, causing water to back up and pool at the bottom of the valley.
The water had subsided when the Manchester Evening News visited the park on Friday morning.
But nearby residents said they believed action needed to be taken to prevent a repeat.
"It was really bad" said Philip Jackson, 72, who lives facing the park.
"Unbelievable. I don't know how deep it was but I wasn't about to go down there and find out.

"I've been here 19 years now and it seems to happen whenever there's a bit of rain. That is always the first place it floods.
"It's not good really. It puts the whole park out of action.
"It's dangerous as well, there being that much water at a place that's meant for kids.
"The brook is always full of rubbish and I think it needs cleaning out as there's obviously a blockage somewhere."
Frank Ekgren, 74, said: "It was completely underwater.
"I walk my dog Tia here every day and it's at least the third time this year it's happened, where the bridge is not crossable.

"It's certainly not ideal when you've got a lot of elderly people and kids around.
"It leaves it really dirty with all the mud and silt and people could slip on it."
A Manchester City Council spokesman said: "High levels of rainfall, combined with seasonal leaf-fall, caused a culvert in the brook which runs through Sunny Brow Park to be blocked.
"The situation has now been resolved and we are reviewing arrangements for how the area is inspected and cleared in future, to mitigate against the risk of further flooding."
