Shropshire Star comment: Twists and turns expected as General Election draws nearer
by Shropshire StarToday we launch our latest survey to gauge the region’s mood in the run up to next month’s general election.
It is the first winter election in a century and has been called on the back of parliament’s gridlock over Brexit – so the poll already stands out as an unusual one.
But when you factor in the political turmoil that has hung over the country like a dark cloud since the EU referendum, it is clear this will be an election like no other before it.
This is an election that could see a record turnover of MPs, with more than 70 having stood down from the last Parliament, and one that despite the upheaval, could even result in a state of play not dissimilar to the one we have now.
For the Conservatives, this poll is all about securing the majority that will allow Boris Johnson to deliver Brexit, before going on to enact what he describes as his “exciting” plans for the country.
Jeremy Corbyn sees the election as a chance to put Labour back in power for the first time in nine years on the back of a radical set of policies that he says will bring genuine change.
Add into the mix the resurgent Lib Dems and Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, and we have all the ingredients for a titanic battle that looks devilishly difficult to predict.
The purpose of our survey is not to find out people’s voting intentions.
At such an early stage of the campaign there are likely to be many people who have not yet decided where their ‘X’ will go on December 12.
Of more interest at this point, is how people feel the parties and their leaders have performed on the key issues over recent weeks and months.
Climate
Mr Johnson is determined to capitalise on the Leave vote from 2016, and clearly believes that basing his election message around Brexit will reap dividends.
In his view, Labour’s convoluted approach to the issue gives his candidates the upper hand when it comes to winning the argument on the doorstep.
But it remains to be seen whether Brexit will be the dominant issue for the duration of the campaign.
Already, a number of other key issues have risen to the surface.
The recent NHS figures on emergency department waiting times are sure to have raised a few eyebrows, as are Labour’s plans to nationalise a chunk of BT and offer free broadband to everyone in the country.
Crime is likely to be a major issue once the manifestos come out, while for the first time ever in a UK election climate change could also influence the voting patterns of a significant number of people in the wake of the global protests over the issue in recent months.
Another element that is likely to have an impact on how people vote is how the public view our politicians.
The House of Commons has not exactly shown itself in a good light in recent years.
MPs have been seemingly spending more time throwing cheap insults at each other rather than focusing on their day jobs of improving the lives of people in the UK.
To that end, we want to know if people believe that our nation’s MPs are doing a good job.
One thing is for sure, we can expect plenty of twists and turns as the day of the election draws nearer.

Football: UEFA president says Platini could perform 'any role' after return
TIRANA: UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin on Sunday (Nov 17) made light of his predecessor Michel Platini's return to football next week, saying the Frenchman could take any role except that of a player.
Four years after Platini's ban from all football-related activities for financial wrongdoing, the former UEFA boss is free to work in the sport again on Tuesday.
Ceferin was asked about Platini at Tirana on Sunday where he was watching France play Albania in their Euro 2020 qualifier.
"Michel Platini's ban is over. So he can be part in any role in football except as a football player, I think he is a bit old," Ceferin said of the 64-year-old.
Platini is on record this week as tantalisingly saying there would be no rush as elections for top roles at FIFA and UEFA are "some years ahead".
Platini told Swiss television channel RTS in September that he "will be back".
The former France captain was banned in 2015 for receiving a two-million Swiss francs (US$2 million) payment from ex-FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, who was himself suspended for six years.
"I will be back. I don't know where, I don't know how. I can't stay on the suspension, even if it's a suspension made by idiots," Platini said.
"I was a victim of a form of a plot, yes, totally, between those at FIFA and those at the Swiss public ministry. There was an agreement between FIFA and them to sack me. I'm not going to say it was a plot by the Swiss state,"

Former US President Jimmy Carter hospitalised
Carter, a Democrat, was the 39th president of the United States, serving one term from 1977 until 1981
by ReutersFormer US President Jimmy Carter was admitted to an Atlanta hospital on November 11 for a procedure to relieve brain pressure from bleeding caused by recent falls, the Carter Center said in a statement.
Carter, 95, the country's oldest living president, was admitted to Emory University Hospital about three weeks after falling at his home in Plains, Georgia. He was released from the hospital a few days after that accident.
A previous fall earlier in October required stitches to Carter's face. In May, the former president broke his hip, also at home, requiring him to undergo surgery.
The procedure to relieve pressure on his brain was scheduled for November 12 morning, the Carter Center said, adding that he was "resting comfortably," and that his wife, Rosalynn, 92, was with him.
Carter, a Democrat, was the 39th president of the United States, serving one term from 1977 until 1981. He was defeated in his re-election bid by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Carter, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work, has lived longer after leaving the White House than any former president in US history.Get access to India's fastest growing financial subscriptions service Moneycontrol Pro for as little as Rs 599 for first year.

MOLOKAI: THE STORY OF FATHER DAMIEN (director: Paul Cox; screenwriter: John Briley/book by Hilde Eynikel; cinematographer: Nino Martinetti; editors: John Scott/Ludo Troch/Kristina Hamilton; cast: David Wenham (Father Damien), Kris Kristofferson (Rudolph Meyer), Sam Neill (Walter Murray Gibson), Peter O'Toole (William Williamson), Derek Jacobi (Father Leonor Fouesnel), Tom Wilkinson (Joseph Dutton), Alice Krige (Mother Marianne Cope), Leo McKern (Bishop Maigret), Kate Ceberano (Princess Liliuokalani); Runtime: 120; ERA Films/Kinepolis Films; 1999-Australia)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
It is hard for me to believe that one of the world's greatest directors and one of my favorites, Paul Cox (Lonely Hearts/My First Wife/Man of Flowers/Cactus/A Woman's Tale), made a film that was so saintly that it seemed to be without dramatic affect or chinks in its pious armor. This is not a commercial film, nor one that tends to compromise its serious tone in order to become more entertaining. It is a true story that tries not to flinch from the suffering it presents and from the altruistic virtues of the dedicated priest who is only interested in comforting those shunned by society because of leprosy. It eschews the tricks of filmmaking in its presentation of such a morbid subject, to its detriment. There is no bend in this film. It is film about suffering and about a Christ figure who gives up his life to help those who are helpless, something the 59-year-old, Dutch-born, NYU Film School graduate, and now Austrialian citizen, has become obsessively interested in observing in his later films, as his first films were interested only in the behavior of eccentrics and in quirky comedy. In this beautifully shot film on the island of Kalaupapahe, catching the lushness of the Hawaiian islands, Cox has taken the subject matter of suffering to a new degree of intensity and requires the viewer to be either fully absorbed in it or else it would be impossible to feel anything about such a miserable topic as 19th century leprosy (Hansen's disease). There is medicine for treating leprosy as of 1940, but the undeveloped countries still can't afford that medicine, so the disease is still around.
To sit through this film, is like passing a qualifying test to join the order Mother Theresa founded in Calcutta among the untouchables. It is a dry, religious-inspirational film about someone who was recently canonized, Father Damien (David Wenham). He is railing against wooden villains, those authorities in the Catholic Church (such as Derek Jacobi) and those politicians in the government (such as Sam Neil), who not only refused to help but tried to block him from helping those in need. He is a boring man who unquestionably believes in God, in miracles, in piety, and in his own honest to goodness self-righteousness. He's a good man, a noble and altruistic man, but one we can't get to know as a human being, but see him only through the cause he applies himself to.
All I really get to know about Father Damien that is of an intimate nature is when I hear him in prayer before he first goes to the island and he says to Christ, I begin my life at 33, Lord, and you died at 33.
This is the biopic of Father Damien, a Belgian missionary who voluntered in 1872 to set up a church for the lepers of Molokai and who ended up doing everything humanely possible to make life bearable for those suffering from that disease.
He is warned by Bishop Maigret (Leo McKern), the one in charge of the island's churchly matters who befriends him and sends him to the island, and who tells him to not touch the lepers or else he will catch their disease. Upon landing on this God forsaken island, he is touched by the thousand lepers there of all ages who are in various degrees of suffering, who are without beds, a hospital, proper food, medicine, houses, or the most basic human means of existing. He is so touched by this, that the first leper he sees, who is a child, he not only touches but embraces.
Taking charge of the island, the priest teaches them to grow their own crops and to live with dignity, as he fights the battle to get medical facilities and lumber to build the houses, and most of all he wants nuns to come to this quarantined island, where once you come to live, you can't leave.
Unfortunately, the storytelling remains flat despite the superb character performance by the Australian David Wenham. In one scene, the most dramatic one in the film, lepers are tossed off the boat docked on the island's harbor and many of them drown. It is a scene of immense cruelty, but seems to have happened as if it were a dream and not real, as not much is made of it and the film just continues on without giving pause to that event. The film just couldn't say more about the priest except that he made conditions better, converted many to Catholicism, and contacted the disease and died, relieved to know that the nuns have come at last and that there is another priest to carry on the work. These are fine accomplishments, but I'm afraid, they are not dramatic enough to energize this film.
Peter O'Toole has a cameo as a glum English Protestant leper, who is in the dying stages of the illness and is cynical of the priest's efforts but nonetheless admires his tenacity. Sam Neill is saddled with the stiff villainous role of the alcoholic and mean-spirited prime minister of Hawaii and he can't do much with that role except stiffly act the part of a prig. Derek Jacobi is the other arch villain, an assistant to the bishop, who doesn't do much but try to make Father Damien look bad so that the church will look upon him with suspicion, in a role that doesn't make the best use of this very talented thespian. Kris Kristofferson has an unimportant role as a Lutheran befriending the priest and giving him sound advice, who is a merchant profiting from the island but seems to be a fair-minded person who knows his limits and who speaks in some indeciferable accent, which is probably German.
The film had a chance to mention that the diseases contacted by the natives were brought to the island by the European settlers, but chooses not to go down that road.
I felt anguished about all the piety I was seeing, but the film despite all its obvious flaws lingered with me for a long time afterwards and I'm not quite sure why. That is why I liked it better when the film had a chance to sink in, than I did when first watching it. It's a tough film to enjoy and I'm not sure I learned anything about suffering from it, that is if I was supposed to, but I do think I saw someone who I believe is an actual saint, and he was a spellbinding saintly figure despite being so unapproachable. It was the very best thing I have to say about a tedious film that I am glad I saw, even if I was not entertained by it.

Note: This post originally appeared on the blog of my since-shuttered analytics firm: Axiomatic. That said, if you need some analytics work, get in touch
Today, we're going to dive into the single feature of Google Analytics I use the most - segmenting.
The audience for your website is a many-splintered thing. Some visitors come from emails, some from search engines, and some from traditional referrals, some from the mystery bucket known as Direct Traffic. They're on different browsers, different operating systems and might even speak different languages.
How those slices of your site's audience react to your site can be wildly different.
For instance, one of my projects, WhatTheDeploy made it to the front page on HackerNews a while ago.
And, thanks to segmenting (the exact segment shown above), I can tell you that those visitors had a conversion rate of just 1.7% when landing on the site. I should also note that the link on HN wasn't properly UTM-tagged (I didn't do the submission myself), so that number's a bit rougher than I'd like.
That's a very simple segment. However, you can make segments as complicated as it takes to get you the answers you need about your audience.
Segments in the Google Analytics interface are available right up top (see screenshot above).
When you click on the "+ Add Segment area," you get an interface like the below that features a list of all available segments - including several standard segments GA creates for every account such as "Organic Traffic" and "Paid Traffic."
If you want to go deeper, mash the "New Segment" button and you get a wealth of options. Pretty much any dimension or metric GA collects about your visitors and their behavior are available - where they are, which pages they visited, where they came from, what they did - for instance.
Below are a few I've found useful on past projects:
The possibilities for segmenting your audience within GA are fairly limitless. Any dimension and combination of dimensions can become a segment. The key thing to know is what question you're wanting to find an answer to. Once you know that, you can work backwards to figure out what audience profile works.
Once you have a few segments in hand, you can have the GA interface display multiple segments at once, making it easy to compare the performance of slices of your audience and get a better idea of how your marketing efforts are performing, for instance.
So, start slicing up your audience and see who you're resonating with right now.
And if you'd like specifics on setting up any of the earlier segments (or have a specific question you're trying to find the answer to), just let me know how I can help.
I'm always here to help.


New emojis proposed to call out online bullies in #GoodMannersEmojis campaign
The organisation responsible for emojis is being urged to introduce a person holding a yellow card and a whistleblower in a bid to take on abusive behaviour online.
Tory parliamentary candidate Penny Mordaunt has launched the #GoodMannersEmojis campaign with six anti-bullying emoji designs, with the backing of the Jo Cox Foundation, a charity set up in the name of the murdered MP.
Concept sketches by Iconfactory have been put forward to the Unicode Consortium which deals with new emojis, in hopes of confronting cyber bullies in a friendly, non-confrontational way.
They include a person peering over glasses with a raised eyebrow, in an apparent look of disapproval.
Another depicts a troll hiding behind a mask, while sending support is symbolised by someone holding out a love heart.
The final proposal shows the emoji pointing out bad behaviour, titled “that won’t do”.
“The limited way people can respond to disrespectful behaviour on social media is resulting in polite, sensible people becoming a silent majority on these platforms,” Ms Mordaunt said.
“This affects politicians but also many others in public life, from school governors to public servants to charity trustees.
“It is my hope that these new tools can help us all create the social norms that are so lacking online.”
The petition – also supported by Hollaback, which aims to tackle harassment, and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College London – comes amid increased concern about abusive behaviour, particularly on social media.
Former MPs Caroline Spelman, Nicky Morgan, Louise Ellman and Heidi Allen have all cited abuse as contributing to their decision not to run in the General Election.
Research by Amnesty International found that 1.1 million abusive or problematic tweets were sent to women in 2017, after it analysed 228,000 tweets sent to 778 female politicians and journalists from across the political spectrum in the UK and US.

I used to have an ok job. Then I got a new boss who was hired to replace my previous boss. This new individual can only be described as pure evil, and does not deserve to be in a position of authority. I have dreams about what it would be like to have a good manager.

Rest.li applications are built around Resources. The key ingredient to creating a resource is data model, whose internal structure is defined by Pegasus Data Schema in key-values style. A fundamental presumption was that such structure exists for every Rest.li data model. However, it’s not the case for unstructured data such as images or PDFs, which are usually consumed in raw binary forms without a containing data structure.
This user guide is about working with unstructured data in Rest.li framework. This is not a comprehensive guide to building Rest.li resources in general, which is already covered in great details at Rest.li User Guide. This guide focuses on the differences of unstructured data resource.
To Rest.li, the key difference about unstructured data is that they don’t have any defined schema and don’t have to be represented by a single generated class in Rest.li like schema-base data does (RecordTemplate). Unstructured data can be handled in the rawest form as a bytes array or a more advanced form as InputStream/ByteBuffer in Java for example.
Additionally, there are several other differences that set them apart from the typical structured data:
By default, unstructured data enjoys the same level of support as structured data in Rest.li: they can be modeled as various resource types and most resource-supporting features and tooling should work. However, because of the lack of RecordTemplate-based data model, any feature that works on the structure of the resource value, such as Field Projections, Entity Validation etc, do not apply to unstructured data resources, although they will continue to work with structured data resources that live in the same Rest.li application.
Features Highlights:
Not Supported Features:
Streaming Support
In this context, streaming means the ability to transport and process unstructured data in small chunks without the need to buffering the whole content in memory. It sounds appealing, but it introduces complexities for the app developers that might be unnecessary in most simple use cases. Therefore, Rest.li supports both non-streaming and streaming method.
Base interface determines the resource type, the resource key and value type. Unstructured data has its own set of base interfaces. The main difference is the absence of the resource value type. Each resource type has two variants: Non-Streaming and Streaming version. Non-streaming comes with synchronous and asynchronous style, while there is no such distinction for streaming.
Non-Streaming base interfaces
UnstructuredDataCollectionResource
UnstructuredDataCollectionResourceAsync
UnstructuredDataCollectionResourceTask
UnstructuredDataCollectionResourcePromise
UnstructuredDataAssociationResource
UnstructuredDataAssociationResourceAsync
UnstructuredDataAssociationResourceTask
UnstructuredDataAssociationResourcePromise
UnstructuredDataSimpleResource
UnstructuredDataSimpleResourceAsync
UnstructuredDataSimpleResourceTask
UnstructuredDataSimpleResourcePromise
Streaming base interfaces
UnstructuredDataCollectionResourceReactive
UnstructuredDataAssociationResourceReactive
UnstructuredDataSimpleResourceReactive
Highlights:
The definition of streaming unstructured data resource is similar to a regular resource. However, no value type is needed.
@RestLiCollection(name = "resumes", namespace = "com.mycompany")
public class ResumesResource extends UnstructuredDataCollectionResourceReactiveTemplate<String> { ... }
The interface of streaming resource is similar to the asynchronous resources with a callback parameter that’s used to return the result.
@Override
public void get(String resumeId, @CallbackParam Callback<UnstructuredDataReactiveResult> callback) {
Writer<ByteString> writer = new SingletonWriter<>(ByteString.copy(UNSTRUCTURED_DATA_BYTES));
callback.onSuccess(new UnstructuredDataReactiveResult(EntityStreams.newEntityStream(writer), MIME_TYPE));
}
Get Response
UnstructuredDataReactiveResult represents the download response which encapsulates the unstructured data EntityStream as well as the metadata needed to return a successful response. Its merely a container and could be subclassed if desires.
Writing Unstructured Data
Streaming requires the data to be read/write in continuous chunks manner. Simple bytes array or InputStream won’t do the job. Rest.li adopt the EntityStream interface
ByteString is essentially Rest.li’s immutable bytes array implementation and is used here to represent a single chunk. EntityStream is the interface that provides the chunks when they are requested. Note that the chunk size is not enforced, however, it’s recommended to make the size reasonable and consistent.
Writing Unstructured Data w. R2 Writer
Rest.li’s R2 layer has its own similar EntityStream implementation. If a writer is already provided, it can be easily converted to Rest.Li Writer using EntityStreamAdapters util.
Writer dataWriter = new ResumeDataWriter(id);
com.linkedin.entitystream.Writer<ByteString> writer = EntityStreamAdapters.toGenericWriterx(dataWriter);
Setting the Content-Type
A content-specific MIME content-type is required for the unstructured response to be handled correctly by its clients. It is required as part of the UnstructuredDataReactiveResult and is used as it-is in the HTTP response header. No validation is done by Rest.li.
Setting Additional Headers
More headers/metadata can be set using the ResourceContext. Here is an example to add a ‘disposition’ header to the response:
getContext().setResponseHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"filename.jpg\"");
Rest.li filters currently don’t support access to the unstructured data payload. Any existing or new filter that tries to access the payload will get an empty record. (No, they won’t just fail.)
Resource IDLs are also generated for unstructured data resources, with a few minor differences in the generated IDL and Restspec files:
Rest.li generates online API documentation for every resource. It also works for unstructured data resource, however, in the API page, unstructured data is currently treated as an empty missing model.
Highlights
A simple unstructured data GET response:
curl 'http://myhost/resumes/1'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content:
<<< bytes >>>
One common Http client is a native browser (not the JavaScript client lives in a browser). Unstructured data resource endpoints can be used in place wherever a standard web resource link is expected.

Download Resume

D2 is what powers the host finding capability of RestClient under the hood. With a D2 client, you can send a request without having to specify the actual hostname of your resources:
URI uri = URI.create("d2://resumes/1");
StreamRequest req = new StreamRequestBuilder(uri).build(...);
d2Client.streamRequest(req, responseCallback)
...
A request to unstructured data resource could fail in the same ways a regular resource does. Moreover, even when a request such as Get is successful, the data flow could still be interrupted or timeout. When that happens, you could receive a successful HTTP status like 200 and still get an incomplete response or long hanging that results in a client timeout.
Q: Is there a size limit on how large an unstructured data could be served by Rest.li resource? A: No. But practically, the size will be cap base on your server’s timeout value. If you are seeing incompleted content on the client, it could be caused by an undersize server timeout value.
Q: What should be a reasonable server timeout? A: It depends on if the Rest.li application hosts a mix of structured and unstructured resources. Currently, Rest.li only allow one timeout setting for the entire app. You may not want a long timeout for APIs that serve small structured data. On the other hand, a short timeout for APIs that serve large unstructured data.
Q: Should I create a streaming or non-streaming resource for my unstructured data? A: First of all, streaming doesn’t come for free and true end-to-end streaming also depends on your other nodes in the network, so make sure you understand what you are getting into. Secondly, the performance depends on many factors such as the size of the data and I/O performances etc.
Q: What is reactive streaming and how can I leverage it? A: EntityStream

steepness: Testing Steepness of Dominance Hierarchies
steepness is a package that computes steepness as a
property of dominance hierarchies. Steepness is defined as the
absolute slope of the straight line fitted to the normalized
David's scores. The normalized David's scores can be obtained
on the basis of dyadic dominance indices corrected for chance
or by means of proportions of wins. Given an observed
sociomatrix, it computes hierarchy's steepness and estimates
statistical significance by means of a randomization test.

Elite force personnel martyred in encounter with DG Khan’s Ladi gang
by Tariq IsmailDERA GHAZI KHAN: An official of the Punjab Police’s Elite Force was martyred in a clash with members of notorious Ladi gang, which operates within the limits of Kot Mubarak police station, on Sunday.
Two dacoits were killed in the counter attack while a passerby, who was injured in the crossfire, succumbed to his wounds later.
Regional Police Officer (RPO) Imran Ahmer told The Express Tribune that suspects opened indiscriminate firing on the police team when they were followed on a tipoff.
Suleman, an officer of the Elite Force, died on the spot while Constable Imran sustained bullet wounds, he said, adding that two “absconders” were killed in the counter strike and a passerby also injured in the process.
DPO Asad Sarfraz arrived at the spot with a heavy contingent of police as the encounter continued till the filing of the report.
Injured and the body were shifted to the Teaching Hospital.
The police had conducted a number of operations in the area earlier but failed to arrest members of Ladi gang. On the contrary, the policemen suffered injuries.
There was an imminent wave of fear among the residents and they had demanded of the Punjab IG, RPO and DPO to take effective measures to deal with the criminals.


George the Poet: I turned down MBE because of pure evil of British Empire
The spoken word artist said he appreciated the gesture of the offer, but not the wording of it.
George the Poet has said he turned down an MBE because of the “pure evil” of the British Empire.
The spoken word artist, whose real name is George Mpanga, said he was prevented from accepting the title of Member of the British Empire because of “the colonial trauma inflicted on the children of Africa, entrenched across our geo-political and macro-economic realities”.
 A friend asked me if I would accept it, I just saw my parents’ faces and without thinking I said ‘yes’ and then I took a minute and reflected, reflected on my status and I felt a burning sensation in my chest.
“Your forefathers grabbed my motherland, pinned her down and took turns.
“They did that every day for a couple hundred years and then left her to treat her own burns.
“Now all of her children are born with a set of unique concerns and gaps in the information that we really do need to learn and none of us know why, why we got absorbed by a ‘higher entity’, why I have to fight for my identity.
“George – people know me as this – the name of some old colonialist and you are so conceited it doesn’t even occur to you how lonely this is.

Mpanga, who was born in Harlesden in London and is of Ugandan heritage, added that he turned down the gong in May 2019, continuing: “Although much of my podcast is fiction, this is a fact.
“I’d like to apologise to the friend who recommended me on my assurance that I’d accept, I didn’t know I would feel this way.
“I see myself as student, admirer and friend of Britain, however the colonial trauma inflicted on the children of Africa, entrenched across our geo-political and macro-economic realities prevents me from accepting the title Member of the British Empire.
“The gesture is deeply appreciated, the wording is not. It will remain unacceptable to me until Britain takes institutional measures to address the intergenerational disruption brought to millions as a result of her colonial exploits.
“I have no issue with other black people who have embraced this title, I encourage variety of thought across our society and within my community. I encourage future generations to seek the relevant information to make an informed decision.
“What do the words British Empire mean to you? I love this country but I do so with transparency…”
Mpanga’s poetry has won him critical acclaim both as a musician and a social commentator.
He was shortlisted for the Critics’ Choice category at the 2015 Brit Awards and he came fifth in the BBC Sound of 2015 poll.
In 2018 he was elected as a member of the National Council of Arts Council England.

“These are my feelings, you don’t have to take them on. But if you wanna learn more, here u go.”
