The W3C is an international community that works with the public to develop and uphold standards for the web. Founded by Tim Berners-Lee in 1994, this community helps lead the World Wide Web by creating Internet Protocols and guidelines for everyone to follow in order to maximize the potential of the World Wide Web. We rely on the W3C in order to properly use the World Wide Web in terms of communication, commerce, and ways to share knowledge with others. The main vision for the W3C is to share knowledge and have everyone involved on a global scale.
HTML, also known as the Hypertext Markup Language, is a markup language that is used to markup documents that will be displayed on a web page. The importance of HTML is to see how the text on the web page will look like. It can either be bolded, italicized, linked to another web page and more. HTML is also used to link images, videos, and create tables on the web page. The image and videos are pulled from the server using an HTTP GET request and then displayed on the web page. HTML is important because it will create the basic structure for the web page.
CSS, also known as Cascading Style Sheets, is a styling language used to style web pages. These style sheets are usually linked for the HTML page to refer to the style sheet it's linked with. Some examples of CSS include creating a grid to have certain information displayed on certain parts of the web page, or to change the color of the background, type of font for the text, and alignment of certain images and text on the web page. CSS is very important to any web developer because it helps the web page look very organized and clean rather than having a cluttered mess. It also lets the web developer be a bit more artistic with the way they want to design the web page.


I'd recently obtained a Calea zacatechichi specimen and lately my careful watering has been paying off. At one point some of the leaves began to dry, it'd been a long weekend and (oops) forgot to water for a couple of days. I plucked these leaves off, and added them to a collection of perhaps 10 which had already been shed.
I boiled some water in a standard stove top tea kettle and got a typical tea mug. I then carefully crumbled the leaves over the mouth of the mug and added hot water, stirring to ensure all of the fragments were thoroughly soaked.
I added some clover honey to offset the slightly bitter taste, and downed the tea as quickly and carefully as I could.
I started to feel the first effects after about 15 minutes. I felt myself drift into a kind of tranquil, meditative state. The bedroom window was open, and the nighttime air smelled especially nice. Also there was a very gentle, constant, slightly chilly breeze wafting in over the top of the bed, and I found it easier to focus on the sound of the breeze coming in the window and brushing against the leaves of the trees outside. The TV in the bedroom was on, and some sort of advert appeared describing some cologne or maybe shampoo, with some bluish, fluid slow-motion visuals. Some beads of the blue stuff were flying offscreen, I noticed they seemed particularly interesting to watch.
About 30 minutes into the experience, a variety of imagery started popping into my mind. It very much resembled those few minutes you're still awake just before your mind and body turn in for a night's sleep, lots of imagery and ideas about abstract things. They seemed more vibrant than usual, for lack of a better phrase, I was experiencing a greater amount of 'images per unit time' than typical for me.
I finally turned out the lights and drifted off to sleep. I had a very vivid dream, filled with color and action. Some scenes I still recall with some clarity include being in a room with a woodgrain table, on which are sitting maybe a square of four huge Othello games pieces in bright red and white. A bald man resembling the musician Moby was looking down at them in my presence, but I was not actually seeing myself in the dream at this point.
In a later scene, I had some bizarre imagery where I saw myself walking into a bathroom in a motel room; all of the tile and surfaces were completely white. The toilet and bathtub were in a separate room to my left, and I walked in. A bright-yellow toilet plunger behind and to the right of the toilet immediately caught my eye. Then, after a few moments I noticed that something seemed to be emerging from the toilet, it turned out to be feces. I am not into 'skat' or other such fetishes, so don't get me wrong here, but I was amazed at how detailed the poop was. It was a multitude of shades of brown, and shaped as you might expect, cylindrical in some places with a few large curves along its length.
The following day when I awoke I was remarkably tired. I'd gone to bed earlier than usual so I found it strange that I would feel so exhausted. Even a strong cup of coffee didn't take away the hazy, drowsy feeling, and this feeling lasted until the late afternoon.
The most startling aspect was in how much of my dream I remembered immediately after I awoke. It was literally as if my ability to recall my dreams had doubled, and the length of time the strong memories of my dreams remained also doubled.
For me (and, I've heard, for many others) dreams in the morning are like sand running through the fingers, you start with a good clear idea of what's there, but gradually as your mind fully awakes from the dreams the memory of the dreams fades. In the aftermath of this experience, I can say clearly that my dreams in this case remained clear in my mind significantly longer with, I believe, the assistance of Calea Zacatechichi.

Tottenham duo could sign new contracts with Spurs after Jose Mourinho’s arrival
by Naveen UllalToby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen haven’t signed new contracts at Tottenham Hotspur and the two could leave the club as free agents after this season.
After being ‘bored’ under Mauricio Pochettino, the Spurs players have an opportunity to get things going again, claims Het Belang van Limburg.
The Belgian newspaper believes Jose Mourinho’s arrival in north London could mean the Belgium duo sign new contracts.
It’s claimed Mourinho’s arrival will have a ‘liberating effect’ on the two defenders.
At 30, Alderweireld will have more options next summer if he decides to leave, but its unlikely be the case with his compatriot Vertonghen, who will turn 33 in April. Therefore, the latter could listen to possibly extending his stay with Spurs.
There are no sporting objections for Alderweireld and Vertonghen with Mourinho’s preferred style of football and the report also mentions the manager tried to sign the former when at Manchester United.
It’s a contrast to what they’re saying in Denmark about Christian Eriksen, with it being thought there that Mourinho’s arrival makes an exit likelier.


A few days ago I saw this tweet.
Internet identities were on my mind for a while. Most services we use require signing up, some with your real-life name and address, forbidding you from creating multiple personas for multiple facets of your personality. Having to prove who I am every time I want to talk to friends is a bit exactly like having to show my papers every time I speak, and having it logged by a third party.
Watch moot talk about these issues. He’s really inspiring, and I completely agree with him: we need more choices in how our identities are represented.
I wish there were more spaces where you didn’t have to create and maintain a persona. 4chan is just one example and I appreciate that some people may not like what goes on there. So in an attempt to redress the balance at least a tiny bit I made Poetrybin.
The premise is simple: there are no identities, no user accounts. You can post a poem, but you cannot edit or delete it. That’s it.
I needed to convert RGB values into HSB. I found a very old gem, colour-tools, which sadly only converts to HSL. So I rewrote Alvein’s C implementation to calculate it in Ruby. Hope it saves someone time.
Inputs: red, green and blue values as integers between 0 and 255. Outputs according to HSB convention: hue as degrees (up to 360), saturation and brightness as percentages.

My husband Sam and his team mate Steve have been working on their new album for the last few month. They are looking for some financial help with finishing it. I would love it if you could check out their project on Sponsume, and if you like it, please share the link with your friends. Thanks!
I participated the UX Camp Brighton on Saturday, which took place in Cogapp’s office. How do you guys get any work done with a view like this?
Despite it being the warmest and most beautiful day we had this year, the turnout was impressive and I got to see some great talks and participated in though-provoking discussions.
Glenn Jones raised a very important point about web intents - that the language we use to describe them will have a huge impact on the success of this initiative. The terms used need to be universally understood, and this already presents challenges. I thoroughly recommend Glenn’s blog post about web intents, it’s a brilliant introduction to the idea.
Ellen de Vries made us bond with with bits of rubbish by giving them names and a back story. Paul Davison gave us an introduction to microdata, Andy Hume pointed out that making urls friendly to the extreme isn’t always the best approach, and Cennydd Bowles kicked off a discussion about the role of UX, what it really means and whether it is different from product design.
If you’ve missed out on tickets to UX Camp you might be interested in Design Jam, which is also a free event, but will give you a chance to do something practical.
My favourite thing to do in Minecraft is to build things. I used to either keep hacking the inventory or give myself resources 64 blocks at a time while on the server. Since 1.8 update I got my mojo back, as I can just switch on the Creative mode while in Multiplayer. It gives you unlimited blocks and you can fly. I couldn’t ask for more.


Image Recognition
问题描述 :
Now there is an image recognition problem for you. Now you are given an image which is a N * N matrix and there are only 0s and 1s in the matrix. And we are interested in the squares in whose four edges there is no 0s. So it’s your task to find how many such squares in the image.
输入:
The first line of the input contains an integer T (1<=T<=10) which means the number of test cases.
For each test cases, the first line is one integer N (1<=N<=1000) which is the size of the image. Then there are N lines and each line has N integers each of which is either 0 or 1.
For each test cases, the first line is one integer N (1<=N<=1000) which is the size of the image. Then there are N lines and each line has N integers each of which is either 0 or 1.

3 Linear Optimization
Ali’s first task was to determine a marketing strategy. Both the Canadian and American cannabis industries are trying to normalize cannabis use (mainly through edibles and drinks) to women between the ages of 30 and 55. The working theory is that making cannabis use acceptable to this group will “allow” married men to also enjoy recreational cannabis use.
Ali’s manager, Tolu, has asked to create a semi-automated system for determining advertisement spends. Thankfully, Tolu noted that Ali’s coworker, Jun, has already been working in this space. Ali should be able to jump on Jun’s work and make this system automated without much hassle.
3.1 Continuous Optimization
3.1.1 The Problem
What should have been an easy task became a nightmare. Ali didn’t get a csv file with neatly defined columns and a clear outcome variable. No…Ali received this email (in which Jun was copied):
Hi Ali,
Here is what Rayan from Marketing needs:
Instagram ads cost $50 dollars per hundred clicks
TikTok ads cost $20 dollars per hundred clicks
Over the last few weeks, we averaged about 1 female view for Instagram and 4 for TikTok. We need at least 80 female views in total for the coming week.
We don’t really do as well with men; we saw just about 1 average male view for both Instagram (.9) and TikTok (.8). We are really hoping to get at least 40 for the coming week.
Where should we buy ads for the coming week?
All my best,
Tolu
3.1.2 From Words To Formulas
In typical analyst fashion, Ali responded with, “No problem!”, and started digging through old course notes. Unfortunately, nothing looked like this problem. Ali decided that a cup of coffee with Jun was the way to go. Before a coffee invite even went out, Jun sent Ali a copy of the legacy Excel sheet…completely full of Excel equations and Solver boxes.
Ali had no idea what was going on in the sheet – there were sumproduct formulas, vlookups, and other strange things. Ali asked Jun to go over the sheet and the problem together, and Jun most graciously agreed.
Jun helped Ali break the problem down into small pieces. “The first question”, Jun said, “is what are the variables and what are their values?”
Ali thought for a minute and decided that there are two variables to this problem: Instagram and TikTok. “Correct!”, said Jun, “and what values do Instagram and TikTok have?” Ali went back to the email and saw:
Instagram ads cost $50 dollars per hundred clicks
TikTok ads cost $20 dollars per hundred clicks
“Awesome! The value for Instagram is 50 and the value for TikTok is 20.”, Ali said. “And what specifically are those?”, Jun asked. Ali wasn’t sure, but said, “ad costs”. “Now, let me show you something.”, and Jun wrote this on a piece of paper:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{ad cost} = 50_{instagram} + 20_{tiktok} \end{aligned} \]
“What else do we need?”, asked Jun. Ali thought for a minute and said, “We need to get the rest of the information into the problem!”
Over the last few weeks, we averaged about 1 female view for Instagram and 4 for TikTok.
We don’t really do as well with men; we saw just about 1 average male view for both Instagram (.9) and TikTok (.8)
“Let’s put that into our problem”, and Jun was back to writing:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{ad cost} = 50_{instagram} + 20_{tiktok} \\ 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \\ .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \end{aligned} \]
“Did Rayan have an specific needs for those men and women?”, asked Jun. Again, Ali looked at the email and saw:
We need at least 80 female views in total for the coming week.
We are really hoping to get at least 40 for the coming week.
“So,”, Ali began, “We need at least 80 views for women and 40 views for men. We could have more for both, though…it is just the baseline.”
“Excellent! Check this out”, and Jun added the following:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{ad cost} = 50_{x1} + 20_{x2} \\ \text{women} = 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \geq 80 \\ \text{men} = .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \geq 40 \\ \end{aligned} \]
“And we are almost there!”, Jun smiled and then asked, “What would we want to do with cost: spend as much as possible or as little as possible?” “Oh”, Ali said, “that’s easy: we definitely want to minimize our cost.”
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Minimize:}\\ \text{ad cost} = 50_{instagram} + 20_{tiktok} \\ \text{Subject to:} \\ \text{women} = 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \geq 80 \\ \text{men} = .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \geq 40 \\ \end{aligned} \]
“Here’s the last question”, Jun said, “Could we buy a negative number of ads?”. “Absolutely not”, Ali said.
“We have this now”, and Jun showed Ali his paper
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Minimize:}\\ \text{ad cost} = 50_{instagram} + 20_{tiktok} \\ \text{Subject to:} \\ \text{women} = 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \geq 80 \\ \text{men} = .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \geq 40 \\ \text{instagram}, \text{tiktok} \geq 0 \end{aligned} \]
“Now that we have this put completely together, we need to break it down”, Jun laughed.
“We know that this is a minimization problem”, Jun said and continued, “and we know that we have two variables: Instagram and TikTok. You may hear people call these objective values.”
Jun carried on, “We also know that we have some rules to follow for our problem. These rules are called constraints. Think of these constraints as rules that reflect reality”.
“Got it!”, exclaimed Ali.
“Let’s see them again”, Jun said:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Subject to:} \\ \text{women} = 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \geq 80 \\ \text{men} = .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \geq 40 \\ \end{aligned} \]
“This whole thing is the constraint matrix and we can break it down into its component parts!”, beamed Jun.
"Let’s start with the left-hand side of the constraint matrix, which you might hear referred to as the A matrix.
\[ \begin{aligned} 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \\ .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \\ \end{aligned} \] “We have 4 values, spread across 2 columns and 2 rows.”, Jun said, “Just like a normal table”. Jun continued, “Next we come to the directions…those things look like inequalities, but we will also probably encounter some equalities too”.
“Here, we just have a simple vector of those signs.”, Jun wrote:
\[ \begin{aligned} \geq \\ \geq \end{aligned} \]
“Last thing, I promise.”, Jun said: “The right hand side, those values that we need to achieve, are referred to as the marginal values.”
\[ \begin{aligned} 80 \\ 40 \end{aligned} \]
“Tolu said that you were going to program these in Q or Boa, or something like that. I can’t help you there, but let me know if I can do anything else for you”, Jun said and walked back to the office.
Ali felt better, but getting all of that information into R was going to be a little bit tricky.
3.1.3 Application
Ali was feeling pretty good after all of this! As soon as the computer was unlocked, StackOverlow came to the rescue – a user called Not_Prof_Berry had answered a few questions about linear programming with R.
It seemed like Ali was going to need a package called linprog
:
The specific function is solveLP
, but Ali saw that it needed some objects to be created first: cvec
, bvec
, Amat
, and const.dir
. Ali remembered a common mantra among professors – “Read the flipping manual!”. After reading the helpfile, Ali determined that the cvec object needed to contain the objective values:
objective_values <- c(50, 20)
Ali then figured out that bvec came from the right-hand side of the constraint matrix (the values out in the margin of the constraint matrix):
constraint_values <- c(80, 40)
The Amatrix felt a little bit tricky. It definitely needed to be the constraint matrix, but it was somewhat tough to get into the right shape. Ali tried a few things:
constraint_matrix <- rbind(c(1, 4),
c(.9, .8))
constraint_matrix2 <- matrix(c(1, 4, .9, .8),
ncol = 2, nrow = 2,
byrow = TRUE)
Both returned a matrix:
str(constraint_matrix)
num [1:2, 1:2] 1 0.9 4 0.8
str(constraint_matrix2)
num [1:2, 1:2] 1 0.9 4 0.8
Which Ali knew was needed for function to work properly.
Finally, Ali made a character vector of const.dir (i.e., the constraint directions):
constraint_directions <- c(">=", ">=")
With those 4 objects, Ali was ready to solve the problem!
solved_model <- solveLP(cvec = objective_values,
bvec = constraint_values,
Amat = constraint_matrix,
maximum = FALSE,
const.dir = constraint_directions)
With the model solved, Ali needed to grab some information: the recommended values for Instagram and TikTok, and how much money it was going to cost.
First, how much money was this going to cost:
solved_model$opt
[1] 1000
Got it. $1000 is the total spend.
Second, what is the marketing mix:
solved_model$solution
1 2
0 50
That gives 0 ads for Instagram and 50 ads for TikTok! There is no way that is correct. Everyone knows that a 0 for an answer means that there has to be a problem. How could Ali take this solution to Tolu? Ali figured the best course of action would be to check the solution with Jun.
3.1.4 Theory
Like all early-career analysts, Ali was feeling beaten – going back to Jun so quickly felt like a failure. Like all experienced analysts, Jun was only too happy to help and explain what was happening.
Jun reminded Ali of the complete notation they had created together.
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Minimize:}\\ \text{ad cost} = 50_{instagram} + 20_{tiktok} \\ \text{Subject to:} \\ \text{women} = 1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} \geq 80 \\ \text{men} = .9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} \geq 40 \\ \text{instagram}, \text{tiktok} \geq 0 \end{aligned} \]
“Let’s break this down a little bit”, and turning to the whiteboard, Jun wrote:
\[1_{instagram} + 4_{tiktok} = 80\]
Can be solved with:
\[(instagram = 0, tiktok = 20) \text{ or } (instagram = 80, tiktok = 0)\]
And:
\[.9_{instagram} + .8_{tiktok} = 40\]
Can be solved with:
\[(instagram = 44.44, tiktok = 0) \text{ or } (instagram = 0, tiktok = 50)\]
“It’s okay if you don’t remember or didn’t take linear algebra”, Jun noted, “just know that we are solving these equations to obtain a set of points.”
“Okay”, Ali nodded, “but what do we do with those points?”
“Plot them”, and Jun went back to writing:
“Now that we have those lines plotted, we can clearly see where we might find our answer!”, beamed Jun.
“Umm…it’s a little fuzzy”, admitted a puzzled Ali.
“Completely to be expected”, Jun smiled. “Let’s find the feasible region – this is the place where our answer lives!”
“We could go through and try every single set of points in this shaded area, but we would never finish and we would be wasting our time”, Jun chuckled and continued, “We already know that we are looking for the values that minimize our solution, so we can completely ignore every point that doesn’t sit on our lines.”
Jun made a few circles on the plot and said, “These points will give us our answer!”
“This is called the extreme point theorem and it basically says that our optimal solution has to rest somewhere in the extreme points of the feasible region”, said Jun, “and it makes life so much easier for finding our answer.”
“We can just do the simple math now”, and Jun wrote"
insta_cost = 50
tt_cost = 20
insta_cost * 0 + tt_cost * 50
[1] 1000
insta_cost * 34.32 + tt_cost * 11.42
[1] 1944.4
insta_cost * 80 + tt_cost * 0
[1] 4000
“Which of those is the smallest value?”, Jun asked.
The conference room glowed with Ali’s excitement! “I got it now!”, Ali exclaimed. “We can get our optimal value of 1000 by purchasing 50 ads on TikTok and 0 on Instagram! The solution was correct!”
“Ahhh!”, Jun started laughing, “it is definitely the optimal solution, but do you really think that it’s the correct solution?” Jun shook his head and continued laughing, “How do you think Tolu is going to take the advice to not put anything at all on Instagram?”
Ali’s mind was sufficiently wrecked. How could an optimal answer not be the correct answer? Stupid analytics – nothing can ever be easy.
“What’s the best path forward, then?”, Ali asked Jun. “Simple”, Jun replied, “ask how much they want to put on Instagram and that becomes a constraint!”
 Clarity needs to be sought before most work can actually happen.
After a quick email exchange with Rayan from Marketing, Ali found out that at least 10 ads were needed for Instagram.
3.1.5 ClassOverflow
Let’s spend some time helping Ali. We need to do two things: 1) specify an appropriate model and 2) solve it.
We will do this two different ways; both are good to know, but I’d imagine that you will find one to be more valuable than the other.
3.1.6 Using Python
A great chunk of Ali’s coursework was in R, with just some excursions into Python. For statistics, R reigns supreme (but statsmodels in Python is really pretty solid). For machine learning, take your pick (only fanboys speak in absolutes about one being better than the other – both have their pros and cons). Linear programming is a bit different. R has some clear advantages in terms of flexibility, but Google has put effort towards implementing their GLOP solver in Python (among other languages).
The pulp
package is going to look different than what we saw in R, but there are some definite improvements in expressing our model:
from pulp import *
= LpProblem(name = "test-model",
model = LpMinimize)
sense
= LpVariable(name = "instagram", lowBound = 0)
x = LpVariable(name = "tiktok", lowBound = 0)
y
+= (1 * x + 4 * y >= 80, "women")
model += (.9 * x + .8 * y >= 40, "men")
model
= 50 * x + 20 * y
obj_func += obj_func
model
model
= model.solve()
status
model.objective.value()
x.value()
y.value()
for var in model.variables():
print(f"{var.name}: {var.value()}")
We really aren’t breaking our problem down into small objects here. Instead, all we really need to do is to take our math form and pop that into our model
– pretty easy stuff.
Finally, here is Google’s OR tools. It is the current SoTA for optimization (how do you think Google gets people navigated). You’ll notice that we aren’t really doing anything too different than what we saw with pulp
:
from ortools.linear_solver import pywraplp
= pywraplp.Solver.CreateSolver('GLOP')
solver = solver.NumVar(0, solver.infinity(), 'instagram')
x = solver.NumVar(0, solver.infinity(), 'tiktok')
y
solver.NumVariables()
2
1 * x + 4 * y >= 80) solver.Add(
<ortools.linear_solver.pywraplp.Constraint; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'operations_research::MPConstraint *' at 0x7fb53039eae0> >
.9 * x + .8 * y >= 40) solver.Add(
<ortools.linear_solver.pywraplp.Constraint; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'operations_research::MPConstraint *' at 0x7fb5303b7660> >
solver.NumConstraints()
2
50 * x + 20 * y)
solver.Minimize(
= solver.Solve()
status
solver.Objective().Value()
999.9999999999999
x.solution_value()
0.0
y.solution_value()
49.99999999999999

The inaugural PyCon SG Education Summit will be held on June 17th from 9am to 6pm. The event is organized by educators for educators with support from Python User Group Singapore with the aim to bring together all computer science (CS) teachers and educators, to start building a more connected and collaborative CS education community in Singapore, and to promote computational literacy in schools in general as advocated by our Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong in Singapore's Smart Nation vision:
I think that we must get our children in schools exposed to IT, exposed to programming. It is a long way for us, but in some countries, all kids are required to learn to code, at least the basics, so you understand what it is about, even though you may not write the next Windows operating system. We may not go that far, but I think we must expose our kids and we must enable the most talented and interested ones to be able to go far and develop their talent in IT in schools and pursue that, whether in university, whether after that, to set up a start-up or to join a company, or work with the Government and make a Smart Nation.
Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong, Smart Nation launch on 24 November 2014
A special highlight of this year's summit will be a talk by Mr. Praveen Patil titled "Python in my Physics classroom" about infusing CS into existing science subjects using ExpEYES ‐ a PHOENIX project of Inter-University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi. It is a hardware and software framework for developing science experiments, demonstrations and projects without getting into the details of electronics or computer programming. It converts your PC into a science laboratory.
We will also have audience led open space format discussion with representatives from Dunman High School, Raffles Institution, Pioneer Junior College, <insert your school>. There will also be a showcase of students' projects done with Python technologies.

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance.

JavaScript is a scripting or programming language that allows you to implement complex features on web pages, every time a web page does more than just sit there and display static information for you to look at, displaying timely content updates, interactive maps, animated 2D/3D graphics, scrolling video jukeboxes, etc. you can bet that JavaScript is probably involved. It is the third layer of the layer cake of standard web technologies, two of which (HTML and CSS) we have covered in much more detail in other parts of the Learning Area.

Swift is a fantastic way to write software, whether it is for phones, desktops, servers, or anything else that runs code. It is a safe, fast, and interactive programming language that combines the best in modern language thinking with wisdom from the wider Apple engineering culture and the diverse contributions from its open-source community. The compiler is optimized for performance and the language is optimized for development, without compromising on either.

Here's the cool thing about Cooking... “Get down!” (Insert best Arnold Schwarzeneggar voice here) I yell, as an explosion goes off to my right. And to my left. And behind me!! I dive onto ground of aisle at the 7-Eleven somewhere in middle America. The explosions going off are the landmines of health-destroying processed foods lining the shelves. I crawl to the drink case, looking for salvation… only to find high fructose corn syrup and sugar water everywhere!
Does this sound like your every day? Traversing the streets of your town and the inner aisles of your grocery or convenience store? I finally have awakened as if from a dream, blanketed upon me by the FDA, USDA, Kraft, General Mills, Cargill, and Coca-Cola.
It may be a bit dramatized, but I definitely cleared my train of thought in regards to food one day. I was suddenly aware of every ingredient I was ingesting and how the food I consumed was sourced. Restaurants, grocery stores, friends with crockpots… all of us make decisions that influence our health, energy levels, the environment, and our fellow humans.
Let’s make America cook delicious food from scratch again!
Im just here to make some conflicts....MERGE CONFLICTS!!!

You may know that Twitter posts are restricted to 140 characters, including the url, via and hashtag paramters. Tweetit.js will include your parameters and restrict the actual text to comply with that restriction.


This part prescribes policies and procedures peculiar to contracting for construction and architect-engineer services. It includes requirements for using certain clauses and standard forms that apply also to contracts for dismantling, demolition, or removal of improvements.
As used in this part—
“Construction and demolition materials and debris” means materials and debris generated during construction, renovation, demolition, or dismantling of all structures and buildings and associated infrastructure.
“Diverting” means redirecting materials that might otherwise be placed in the waste stream to recycling or recovery, excluding diversion to waste-to-energy facilities.
(a) Construction and architect-engineer contracts are subject to the requirements in other parts of this regulation, which shall be followed when applicable.
(b) When a requirement in this part is inconsistent with a requirement in another part of this regulation, this Part 36 shall take precedence if the acquisition of construction or architect-engineer services is involved.
(c) A contract for both construction and supplies or services shall include—
(1) Clauses applicable to the predominant part of the work (see subpart 22.4), or
(2) If the contract is divided into parts, the clauses applicable to each portion.
As used in this part—
“Contract” is intended to refer to a contract for construction or a contract for architect-engineer services, unless another meaning is clearly intended.
“Design” means defining the construction requirement (including the functional relationships and technical systems to be used, such as architectural, environmental, structural, electrical, mechanical, and fire protection), producing the technical specifications and drawings, and preparing the construction cost estimate.
“Design-bid-build” means the traditional delivery method where design and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two contracts and two contractors.
“Design-build” means combining design and construction in a single contract with one contractor.
“Firm” in conjunction with architect-engineer services, means any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity permitted by law to practice the professions of architecture or engineering.
“Plans and specifications” means drawings, specifications, and other data for and preliminary to the construction.
“Record drawings” means drawings submitted by a contractor or subcontractor at any tier to show the construction of a particular structure or work as actually completed under the contract.
“Two-phase design-build selection procedures” is a selection method in which a limited number of offerors (normally five or fewer) is selected during Phase One to submit detailed proposals for Phase Two (see subpart 36.3).
(a) The contracting officer shall use sealed bid procedures for a construction contract if the conditions in 6.401(a) apply, unless the contract will be performed outside the United States and its outlying areas. (See 6.401(b)(2).)
(b) Contracting officers shall acquire architect-engineer services by negotiation, and select sources in accordance with applicable law, subpart 36.6, and agency regulations.
(a) Unless the traditional acquisition approach of design-bid-build established under 40 U.S.C. chapter 11, Selection of Architects and Engineers, or another acquisition procedure authorized by law is used, the contracting officer shall use the two-phase selection procedures authorized by 10 U.S.C. 2305a or 41 U.S.C. 3309 when entering into a contract for the design and construction of a public building, facility, or work, if the contracting officer makes a determination that the procedures are appropriate for use (see subpart 36.3). Other acquisition procedures authorized by law include the procedures established in this part and other parts of this chapter and, for DoD, the design-build process described in 10 U.S.C. 2862.
(b) Agencies shall implement high-performance sustainable building design, construction, renovation, repair, commissioning, operation and maintenance, management, and deconstruction practices so as to—
(1) Ensure that all new construction, major renovation, or repair and alteration of Federal buildings complies with the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High-Performance and Sustainable Buildings (available at http://www.wbdg.org/pdfs/hpsb_guidance.pdf);
(2) Pursue cost-effective, innovative strategies, such as highly reflective and vegetated roofs, to minimize consumption of energy, water, and materials;
(3) Identify alternatives to renovation that reduce existing assets’ deferred maintenance costs;
(4) Ensure that rehabilitation of Federally-owned historic buildings utilizes best practices and technologies in retrofitting to promote long-term viability of the buildings; and
(5) Ensure pollution prevention and eliminate waste by diverting at least 50 percent of construction and demolition materials and debris by the end of Fiscal Year 2015.

Hall of Famer Mike Piazza agrees to manage Italian baseball team
Hall of Fame catcher Mike Piazza has agreed to manage the Italian national baseball team, he announced in a tweet Wednesday.
Piazza said he will manage the team for the 2020 European Baseball Championship and the 2021 World Baseball Classic.
This will be 51-year-old Piazza's first managerial experience since the 12-time All-Star retired in 2008 after a 16-year major league career.
Piazza, who was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, is of Italian ancestry. He was Italy's hitting coach at the 2009 and 2013 WBC tournaments.
He was the majority owner of AC Reggiana, a third-tier Italian soccer team, from 2016 until it ceased operations after the 2017-18 season.
Italy finished as the runner-up at the European Baseball Championship this year. It has never made it past the second round in four WBC appearances.
Piazza was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016. With a career batting average of .308, he hit better than .300 in nine straight seasons and finished with 427 home runs, including a record 396 when he was in the game behind the plate.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The weird thing is... I deleted everything and created a new project. The first try when I compiled my code, everything worked. (The Hello world message)
after, I added my own code, and it compiled again, the console showed up but the it didn't execute my code. Now, the console doesn't even show up, it says my permission is denied. :( What the... is happening ? In fact, my .exe even goes away, maybe that's the reason it's not working.
The code of Blanchy worked! With the cin.get(); , it works perfectly.
When I do not put it, the whole thing messes up and giving me the same problems... Even when I reput the cin.get(); , forget it, it stops working. Could anybody explain why ?
Idk man it sounds like you .exe files are having a hard time getting shutdown properly, if you get it up and running again try to manual end the process in your task manager and see if that helps.
Go to the task manager and then go to processes and it is probably at the very bottom still running it more than likely wont be under applications where you looked I am guessing.
"cb_console_runner" isn't your program. It is a parent process which runs the program for you. The actual program will have a different name, "test.exe" I guess.
Ah geeez, I did a copy of my .exe file on my desktop and recompiled my programm and it started doing the error. But the one on my desktop is still here, tried to put it back in my folder and it says I can't do that. (Im the administrator on my computer.)

Crown Minerals Act review welcome but requires consideration
by PEPANZThe review of the Crown Minerals Act has been welcomed by the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ).
"This is a major piece of work that is very important to the future of New Zealand’s energy system and economic well-being. It will have a big impact on ensuring New Zealanders have affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for decades to come," says PEPANZ spokesman Phil Rennie.
"We support the Government’s goal of a productive, sustainable and inclusive economy. Our sector has a major role to play in this, especially natural gas which will be a key transition fuel providing lower-emissions energy.
"We also support the proposal for greater flexibility for existing offshore permit holders, given the implications of the ban on new exploration permits last year.
"There are significant issues raised that will require careful consideration such as changing the purpose of the Act and adding wider non-economic priorities. We need to be careful not to undermine the smooth transition both Government and industry are keen to support.
"We are very concerned at the short timeframe at a busy time of the year with submissions closing in just over four weeks.
"It’s crucial this process isn’t rushed and we take the time to get it right, given the substantive nature of the proposals and the serious implications.
"Experience tells us that rushed law is rarely good law. A submission period concluding in the New Year rather than right before Christmas would be more befitting such a complex piece of policy and legislation."

# Beginning Python
Python is a good language to write in because of its simplicity, which makes programming easier than usual as a result, as well as being very fun to write in. It is commonly used for scripting and web programming but as it is a general-purpose language, there is not much of a limit as to what can be written in Python.
Python is a language that follows a trending practice in software construction - it is a reasonably simple
language, and its power is utilized best with both first-party and third-party modules, of which there are
many.
Python is a dynamic language, performing many actions at run time rather than compilation time -- in fact,
Python doesn't have compilation time; it is an interpreted language.
Before the language is looked at from a close-up perspective, a few last things:
- Python is open source under the PSF license (GPL compatible)
- It has an interactive interpreter, which is very useful for testing features of the language, and your own functions.
- Python has well-designed object-oriented design features.
In terms of basic, 'core' features of a language, Python has all the common data types that would be expected
in a general-purpose language - numbers, strings, lists, and hash tables (in Python, hash tables are more commonly
referred to as 'dictionaries'). As previously mentioned, OOP is supported: Python has classes and multi-inheritance.
Errors and exceptions are built in to the language, and mismatched types will raise an exception (e.g. "hello" + 9 is
an example of string + int).
A very helpful, whilst not unique, feature of Python is its memory management, removing the need to allocate and free
memory by hand in your programs.


This API provides a data service to allow apps to manage app-specific data on the AirVantage server.
Data is setup as assets — a collection of fields that can be managed by the AirVantage server.
An asset field is a single piece of information that can be managed by the Air Vantage server. There can be multiple fields in an asset.
A field can be:
variable
allows an app to set the value, and can be read from the AV server.setting
allows the AV server to set the value, and can be read by an app.command
allows the AV server to invoke a command or function in the app.
Currently, only variable and setting fields are supported; command fields will be supported in the future.
All fields have names. Variable and setting fields also have a type. The possible field types, along with the default value are:
- string (empty string)
- integer (0)
- float (0.0)
- boolean (false)
- binary (zero-length block).
Default values can be overwritten in the asset definition. Currently, only string, integer and boolean fields are supported; float and binary fields will be supported in the future.
Asset Data Instances
An app that needs to send data to the AirVantage server must first create an asset instance using le_avc_Create() with the name of the asset definition. Once an asset instance is created, the app can begin accessing the instance's fields.
Multiple instances of the same asset can be created, as well as multiple instances of different assets.
Asset definitions are specified in the Assets section of the app's cdef
file.
Field Values and Activity
Set functions are available to set variable field values. Get functions are available to get settings fields' values.
An app can register a handler so that it can be called when activity occurs on a field. This is optional for variable and setting fields, but is required for command fields.
variable
called when the field is read by the AV server. The app can then call the appropriate set function to provide a new value for the field.setting
called when the field has been updated by the AV server with a new value. The app can use the appropriate get function to retrieve the new value.command
called when the AV server wants to invoke a command. The app should perform an appropriate action or call a function to execute this command. Currently, registering a handler is only supported for setting fields; variable and command fields will be added in the future.
Leaving it optional to register handlers for variable and setting fields allows an app to decide how it wants to access variable and setting fields. It can decide to only do something in response to the AV server, or it can work independently of the AV server updating variables when it has a new value, and reading settings only when it needs the value.

2016 Activities
In an intensively competitive sector in which there is a significant international capital presence, Ziraat Bank advances its stature as the biggest and strongest nationally-owned bank year after year. Recognizing that it owes its unique and distinguished position in the sector to superior human resources whose unrivaled market knowledge and experience enable them to supply customers with the right value, at the right time, and through the right channel, Ziraat Bank continues to implement the progressive human resources management system that it has adopted.
Seeking to deliver innovative and trustworthy products and services that satisfy the requirements of both the banking industry and of international competition, Ziraat Bank had a total of 25,015 people on its payroll as of end-2016. As of the same date the average age and length of service of the Bank’s workforce were 34.8 years and 10.5 years respectively while 87% of the Bank’s employees held associate, undergraduate, graduate, and/or doctoral university degrees.
As in previous years, in 2016 Ziraat Bank once again continued to seek out and recruit young people wishing to pursue a career in banking.
572 Teller/Service Desk Officers and 24 attorneys joined Ziraat Bank Family, who were shortlisted in the recruitment exams held in 2014 and 2015.
In keeping with the transparent career management approach to which it adheres, Ziraat Bank seeks to train its own managers itself as much as possible. 2,869 existing employees who successfully took the written and oral promotion exams that were conducted in 2015 were promoted to a higher job category. The average pass rate on these exams was 49%.
As a huge family of more than 25,000 members, Ziraat Bank gives great importance to its employees’ job satisfaction and it provides its personnel with career-path opportunities that allow them to advance themselves in different aspects of banking. For example to meet its requirements for internal controllers, interviews were conducted among banking staff on 22-26 February 2016 and twenty people were transferred from their existing positions to new ones.
Two Management Training Program exams were organized in August and December 2016 in order to ready the personnel who have reached the authorized-level for branch and headquarters management-level positions and duties. 43 employees who have successfully completed the technical program, which was the first one of these programs, were included in the managers pool. The interviews for the field program will be held during 2017. More than 200 employees were appointed to branch or unit management positions shortly after successfully completing these programs.
Due to the Bank’s need to hire a certain number of personnel employed in permanent security guard positions and due to the planned transfer of a significant number of personnel placed in permanent security guard positions in 2015 to Banking Positions in order to meet the Bank’s personnel need in 2017, 188 personnel working under the title of Private Security Guards, who had been serving the Bank via a contractor for 5 years and longer, have been transferred to permanent positions as of 30 December 2016 in order to meet the Bank’s need for permanent security guards.
Career Paths, Job Positions and Assignment Charts, which are attached to Ziraat Bank Human Resources Guidelines, have been revised. The new versions that will take effect as of 1 January 2017 have been announced to the entire personnel.
The Fin@rt Transfer Request program is conducted twice a year to increase Bank personnel motivation, minimize operational workloads, and ensure that transfer processes are carried out quickly, effectively, and methodically. Applications to take part in this program are accepted in December-January and in June-July. Last year 812 transfer requests were submitted in the first round and 1,274 were submitted in the second. Of these, 564 and 873 transfers were approved respectively.
The Department of Disciplinary Committee was shut down, and its duties were handed over to the Department of Human Resources, and the revised Disciplinary Guidelines were integrated within the Human Resources Guidelines.
Personnel Transfer Protocols were executed by and between the Bank and Ziraat Participation, and by and between the Bank and Ziraat Teknoloji A.Ş. This allowed easy reassignment of personnel to companies within Ziraat Finance Group, while preserving all personnel rights of relevant employees.
The Articles of Foundation were revised as necessary so that the employees of Ziraat Participation within Ziraat Finance Group will be subject to the Ziraat Bank Pension and Relief Fund in terms of social security, and the procedures were completed. Relevant personnel now have Ziraat Bank Pension Fund social security coverage.
Personnel and employment data of Ziraat Bank personnel subject to the Pension Fund for Civil Servants in terms of social security (4/c), and any information in relation to equalization of their pensions, have been transferred to the Social Security Institution’s Service Tracking Program (HİTAP), and all data for such personnel were integrated into the program.
As a result of the negotiations held between Öz Finans-İş Trade Union, which was established on 23 August 2013 and authorized to make Collective Agreements with the Bank on 9 September 2014, and the Bank, the Collective Agreement was renewed, which will be effective for a period of two years effective from 1 January 2017.
2017 salary adjustments were made in accordance with the Collective Agreement signed on 30 December 2016.
During 2016, systemic practices were introduced with regard to salaries and payments. Within this frame;
- Work was carried out to execute payments to exiting personnel such as Severance Pay, Vacation Payment, and Reasonable Benefit Payment through the system and the payroll.
- Work on the payroll accrual program for the “Automatic Enrollment System” that will enter force on 1 January 2017 was completed in the second half of the year.
- A roadmap was devised for the remuneration of expat personnel appointed on temporary assignment to international subsidiaries of the Bank and standard salaries were defined. In addition, standard salaries commensurate with the Bank’s practices were set with respect to the remuneration of local personnel to be employed by international subsidiaries, taking into consideration country-specific needs.
Furthermore, consultancy support was provided to all domestic/international subsidiaries under the Ziraat Finance Group for the preparation of their HR regulations, and development of their career management and remuneration systems. Work started on the installation of the Humanist system infrastructure at domestic subsidiaries.
Also, organizational support was extended for the written recruitment exam and interviews of Ziraat Participation, which were held in February 2016 and April 2016, respectively.
Human resources consultancy and support services were provided during the establishment of Ziraat REIT, a Ziraat Bank subsidiary that was incorporated on 1 November 2016.
Ziraat Bank Individual Performance Bonus System
Created in 2013 to be compatible with the Bank’s new marketing and sales-focused organizational structure and strategy and informed by the principle that earnings should match success, the Ziraat Bank Individual Performance Bonus System was designed so as to reward employees who demonstrate superior performance and productivity by paying them more. Determined and paid on the basis of periodically conducted individual performance reviews, individual performance bonuses are intended to strengthen the Bank’s customer-focused business model, to promote a marketing and effectiveness-focused approach to work, to increase company loyalty by motiving personnel, and to provide tangible benefits to those whose individual achievements are compatible with the Bank’s corporate objectives.
A current bonus budget is being implemented taking the Bank’s profitability and operational results into account with the proviso that the budget’s total amount not exceeds 8% of the Bank’s aggregate monthly salary payments. This allocation is paid out to recipients as an individual performance bonus at three-month intervals along with their February, May, August, and November salaries based on objectively defined and numerically expressible specific criteria. In this system, which has been set up to focus mainly on marketing in line with the Bank’s strategies and targets, bonuses are paid so as to enhance the earnings of those who contribute more to the realization of those strategies and targets.
Branch segment and scale group rankings that have been determined according to individual performance report cards in line with the numerical performance measurement results at three-month intervals are notified to employees based on their performance bonus coefficients.
The different coefficients that are used when calculating bonuses are determined jointly by business units according to branch segment and scale, individual performance ranking, and job position criteria. Marketing group personnel bonuses are calculated in direct proportion to the numerical performance points in each section. The bonuses of counter personnel are calculated based on the performance of the counter to which they were assigned.
As is the case with other banks in Turkey, the Ziraat Bank Individual Performance Bonus System has been designed to reward superior performance and essentially to increase the productivity of sales personnel. However individual performance bonuses are also paid to operational personnel in branches and to headquarters employees in line with stipulated criteria.
The Bank plans to start differentiating not only the individual performance bonus payments that are currently being made to personnel in headquarters units whose numerical performance is being measured but also in line with the results of the numerical performance system that is being set up for headquarters sales units.
The second competency evaluation was initiated across the Bank as of year-end 2016. The results from the competency evaluation are intended to be taken into consideration in the individual performance system and career management in the future.
2017 Outlook
Ziraat Finance Group will continue to offer career opportunities fitting the relevant positions and contemporary working conditions both at the Bank and at the subsidiaries also in 2017.
Through the recruitment exam planned to be held in August, personnel will be employed for placement at Ziraat Bank’s subsidiaries under the Ziraat Finance Group.
In order to fulfill staffing needs quickly, it is planned to place outsourced personnel in the Bank’s permanent staff gradually during 2017.
In addition, since the permanent Security Guards, who were started to be employed as the Bank’s permanent staff as of year-end 2015, quickly adapted to the Bank’s culture and practices, and due to the prevailing positive impressions regarding these personnel members, it is planned to transfer a significant number of them to the Banking Positions in order to fulfill the Bank’s staffing need in 2017, and to transfer contractor personnel currently serving at the Bank to the Bank’s permanent positions in their respective units/provinces.
Promotion exams will be held for existing employees in the second half of the year as prescribed by the Bank’s human resources principles, procedures, and practices.
The interviews for the Field Management Trainee Program conducted in December 2016 will be held in 2017. Authorized-level personnel who are successful in the relevant programs will continue to be appointed to branch/unit manager positions as needs dictate.
A project is currently being conducted to allow requests and opinions concerning changes in employees’ job assignments and locations to be submitted online through Fin@rt. For the time being, personnel transfer requests will continue to be accepted in June-July and in December-January.
Under the heading of the transformation projects being undertaken to increase both synergies among Ziraat Finance Group members and the operational effectiveness of the Bank’s domestic and international units, the work of matching the staff and job-positions of all of our international units and of revising remuneration systems and other entitlements will be completed in 2017.


FAQ¶
What preprocess should be done on the scRNA-seq data?¶
Cyclum is noncommittal on what specific transform is used, as long as the circular pattern is preserved. That said, experiments show that scaled (variance = 1), centered (mean = 1) log-transformed (\(\log_2(x+1)\)) data work well. Using Freeman-Tukey transform (\(\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x+1}\)) may also be a good idea.
How do I choose number of linear dimensions?¶
We provide cyclum.tuning.CyclumAutoTune
to help decide the number of linear dimensions.
What does the pseudo-time mean?¶
It is the inferred stage of a cell. One pseudo-time for one cell itself does not make sense because it is not a real time. However, pseudo-times for more cells reveals their order and similarities. The pseudo-time for many cells shows the trajectory of cells in a scale.
What does the circular pseudo-time mean?¶
It means we assume that there is no start or end in the time. Cells are going through a circular process, presumably cell cycle. That said, prior knowledge can be used to determine which pseudo-time is G1 phase and M phase, and they can be considered the start and end.

Scientists analysed Wolfe Creek Crater, which is believed to be the second-largest impact crater on Earth, and found that the cosmic collision took place more recently than expected.
But before we go on to tell you about how nervous you should be, it’s worth a quick reminder of the different types of space objects.
An asteroid is made of rock or metal, while a comet is made of ice and gas.
They become meteors when they hit our planet and the objects which fall to Earth without burning up are called meteorites.
Wolfe Creek Crater was formed when a 15 metre-wide meteorite weighing around 14,000 tonnes smashed into the ground at a speed of 17 kilometres a second, the researchers said.
It exploded with the force of 0.54 megatons of TNT – which is roughly equivalent to 36 of the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima during World War II.
Advertisement Advertisement
Research by an international team led by Professor Tim Barrows from the University of Wollongong has found that the object probably hit us 120,000 years ago – much more recently than the previous estimate of 300,000 years.
This finding prompted Barrows to increase the estimate of how often we are hit by similar-sized objects.
He claimed a similar impact could occur roughly once every two centuries.
‘Although the rate is only one large meteor hitting Australia every 17,000 years, it isn’t that simple,’ he said.
“The craters are only found in the arid parts of Australia. Elsewhere, craters are destroyed by geomorphic activity like river migration or slope processes in the mountains.
‘Since Australia has an excellent preservation record with dated craters within the arid zone, we can extrapolate a rate for the whole Earth.
‘Taking into account that arid Australia is only about one per cent of the surface, the rate increases to one every 180 years or so.
‘This is a minimum estimate because some smaller impacts were probably covered by sand during the ice age. The number of large objects is probably 20 times this number because stony meteorites are far more common but not as many survive the fiery journey through the atmosphere or effectively make craters.
‘Our results give us a better idea of how frequent these events are.’
Professor Barrows and his colleagues used two techniques to date the crater: exposure dating (which estimates the length of time rock on Earth’s surface has been exposed to cosmic radiation) and optically stimulated luminescence (which measures how long ago the sediment was last exposed to sunlight).
Advertisement Advertisement
They also created a new 3D model of the crater using aerial photographs and used this to calculate the crater’s dimensions.
‘We calculate that the maximum width of the crater is 946 metres in a NE-SW direction, reflecting the direction of the impact. The average diameter is 892 metres.
‘We predict a depth of 178 metres and that it is filled by about 120 metres of sediment, mostly sand blown in from the desert,’ Professor Barrows said.
If a city had been standing on the site when the meteorite hit, it would been utterly destroyed.


UK To Repatriate British Orphans From Syria
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says they should never have been subjected to the "horrors of war".
by Tom SablesBritish children whose parents have died in Syria are to be brought back to the UK, according to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
The Save the Children charity has praised the decision to repatriate a number of the orphans caught up in the Middle Eastern conflict.
In a statement, Mr Raab said: "These innocent, orphaned children should never have been subjected to the horrors of war.
"We have facilitated their return home because it was the right thing to do.
"Now they must be allowed the privacy and given the support to return to a normal life."
The Foreign Office has not released any further details at this stage, but the group is expected to return to the UK within the next few days.
The repatriation follows a visit by the UK's Special Envoy to Syria to the region, Martin Longden.
Dr Abdulkarim Omar, the de facto foreign minister of the self-styled Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, announced that three children were handed over to the UK.
Mr Raab told MPs last month that, as long as there was "no security threat", children rescued from the fighting in northern Syria could be allowed to return home.
Former Brexit Secretary David Davis warned in a Commons debate in October that vulnerable British children risked "turning into terrorists" if they were not brought back.
It is believed that approximately 60 children are being held in Syria by West-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, the Kurdish militia-led group that came under Turkish attack for most of October.
Former Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt praised the government's action, but urged the UK not to "forget our obligations to all British children in that terrible situation, orphans or not".
Save the Children's head of humanitarian campaigns, Alison Griffin, labelled the move a "triumph of compassion in the face of cruelty".

EditorialScience RoadmapsRobert GalvinTechnology roadmaps are gaining acceptance in industry and government laboratories, and now there are signs that the application of roadmapping to the sciences may grow even faster. A "roadmap" is an extended look at the future of a chosen field of inquiry composed from the collective knowledge and imagination of the brightest drivers of change in that field. Roadmaps can comprise statements of theories and trends, the formulation of models, identification of linkages among and within sciences, identification of discontinuities and knowledge voids, and interpretation of investigations and experiments. Roadmaps can also include the identification of instruments needed to solve problems, as well as graphs, charts, and showstoppers. The optimal process for gathering and selecting the content of roadmaps is to include as many practicing professionals as possible in workshops periodically in order to allow all suggestions to be considered and to objectively evaluate the consensuses that will more often than not emerge. Equal treatment should be given to minority views and individual advocacies. Roadmaps communicate visions, attract resources from business and government, stimulate investigations, and monitor progress. They become the inventory of possibilities for a particular field, thus stimulating earlier, more targeted investigations. They facilitate more interdisciplinary networking and teamed pursuit. Even "white spaces" can conjure promising investigations. In engineering, the roadmapping process has so positively influenced public and industry officials that their questioning of support for fundamental technology support is muted. Motorola has prolifically used sophisticated engineering roadmaps to great advantage over several decades. Other corporations such as Intel have also benefited. In the early 1990s, U.S. semiconductor competitors decided to work together to solve some of the more basic, confounding, but precompetitive, technical barriers whose impact was a concern to our companies over a 15-year time horizon. The solution to many of these problems was likely to be beyond one company's affordability. Most competitors assigned their brightest engineers to meet in common, in committees, and in ad hoc specialist reviews. Over a few weekends, 150 to 175 of them convened to flesh out the broadest agendas. A Roadmap Coordinating Group was formed to oversee the process of determining target values for device and circuit specifications. Technology working group teams were then assigned to flesh out tasks more fully. The result was a 200-page roadmap, now in its third edition. This dynamic document is the basis for assigning various initiatives to certain companies or institutions. Self-forming alliances tackle others. These alliances include Sematech, a consortium specializing in developing the most productive, quality driver manufacturing equipment, and Semiconductor Research Corporation, through which the industry pools funding for advanced research to centers of excellence in university science laboratories. Roadmaps allow our industry leaders to communicate convincingly with those in government and business regarding their support of our goals. I believe a similar use of roadmaps in the sciences would allow a fresh, positive approach to science to emerge among public officials. Similarly business leaders would have a renewed interest in financially supporting science. The roadmap process as used by industry reveals that industry is "idea limited." For example, industry roadmaps do not answer questions such as what increments of, or breakthroughs in, the fundamentals of nature can we learn from? This is where science roadmaps can play a key role. Fortunately, examples of science roadmaps are blossoming. NASA has used roadmaps built on basic themes for years and encourages others to do the same. The leadership of the National Science Foundation encourages experiments with roadmapping in science and engineering, while cautioning that history tells us that the most important discoveries cannot be predicted. The Department of Energy is launching science roadmaps and the Electric Power Research Institute has committed to them as well. The Santa Fe Institute has given its unqualified support to science roadmapping and is preparing a Novel Computational Roadmap to synthesize and guide the research needed now to create the computing technologies needed 15 years hence. Roadmaps are working now in industry and they are beginning to gain a stronghold in science. Just as engineers first scoffed at them, so will some scientists. But who better than scientists to experiment with an experiment that can strengthen sciences' support and accelerate its generation of knowledge.
