Sexist slurs at OUCA event

Less than a week after reaffiliating with the University, Oxford’s Conservative Association has become entangled in a scandal over allegations of sexism at one of its events.
Vitus van Rij, a Tory student from King’s College London, allegedly shouted “Kitchen, kitchen, shush up woman, go back to the kitchen” at a female speaker during OUCA’s Port and Policy event on Sunday night at the Oxford Union.
Following van Rij’s remarks, two OUCA members stood and condemned his comments as “despicable and unacceptable,” and Oxford Union President Laura Winwood assured the crowd that “misogyny is not tolerated” on Union premises.
Jocky McLean––an OUCA member who demanded an apology from van Rij in front of the 120 member audience––said he heard van Rij tell the female speaker, Isabella Burton, to stick to “pans and brooms” instead of giving speeches about politics.
“As she continued, [van Rij] started getting louder and louder in an attempt to shut her up. As soon as she finished, I stood up and asked him to apologise to her, and pointed to his disgusting behaviour,” McLean said.
Van Rij left the room after coming under fire from McLean and Winwood for the sexist statements, but returned a few minutes later to his seat.
Winwood said she and others asked van Rij to leave Union premises. The President of the UCL Conservative Association then escorted van Rij out of the room, and he did not return for the remainder of the night.
“The individual was promptly ejected from the room, order restored and the debate continued,” Winwood said.
Burton, the female OUCA member at the podium when van Rij allegedly made the remarks, said she heard about the commotion after it happened and was highly offended by van Rij’s comments.

WHO IS THIS GUY?
Multiple attempts to reach Van Rij by email and phone over the course of a three day period proved unsuccessful this week.
In addition, a Facebook account in van Rij’s name disappeared from search results after a reporter from this paper attempted to contact him via the social networking site on Monday afternoon.
On his Facebook profile, van Rij listed his favourite quotation as one from Hendrik Verwoerd, a pro-Apartheid Prime Minister from South Africa. The quotation calls for “the preservation of the white man and his state.”
Numerous students have also expressed concern that the way in which van Rij presented himself at the event might have been a deliberate nod to Adolf Hitler.
David Thomas, an OUCA member who attended the event and sat near van Rij, said van Rij was sporting a “Hitler-esque” groomed mustache and slicked back hair.
“It looked as though he was deliberately trying to imitate Hitler with his appearance,” Thomas said.
OUCA President Natalie Shina refused to comment on van Rij’s appearance.
Shina also said OUCA did not invite van Rij to the event.
Shina said van Rij tagged along with members of the Conservative Association of University College London, who she had invited to Oxford to celebrate OUCA’s reaffiliation with the University.
“The UCL Conservatives invited him without my knowledge,” Shina said.
But UCL Conservative Association President Will Hall also denied inviting van Rij.
“We didn’t invite him or anyone else from King’s College, but he may have found out about it from our Facebook group,” Hall said.
Hall said the incident demonstrates a “systematic failure” on the part of the society in ensuring that only invited individuals are allowed to attend events.
“Every group has at least one or two abhorrent individuals, and in the future we need to find a better way to identify ours and ban them from attending events,” Hall said.
---
OUCA SECRECY
OUCA President Shina initially refused to acknowledge the incident took place, claiming in an email on Monday that neither she nor 29 other OUCA members in attendance heard anything offensive said.
But after being presented with eyewitness evidence from a reporter, Shina acknowledged the derogatory comments may have been uttered.
Nine students have confirmed to The Oxford Student that they heard van Rij shout the sexist remark.
But many OUCA members refused to talk after the group’s President issued what one senior OUCA member called a “gag order” preventing members from talking about the event.
“She basically told us all to say that we hadn’t heard anything,” said the member, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.
Poppy Simister, an ex-officer of OUCA who overheard van Rij’s remark, said she heard about the silencing order from other members and didn’t think it was a good move for OUCA.
“I don’t really understand the strategy of telling everyone not to talk, especially in a case like this where both OUCA and the Union dealt with the incident fairly quickly,” Simister said.
Shina dismissed the claim that she was deliberately gagging members from speaking, and said the society’s constitution dictates that as President only she is allowed to talk to the press.
Shina said both OUCA and the UCL Conservative Society have banned van Rij from all future events after conducting an internal investigation.
Michael Rock, president of the national party’s youth wing, said he did not think the evidence was strong enough to launch an investigation at the time.
Despite having been informed of the Union President’s statement on the event, Rock said he thought the allegations were simply part of a calculated attack on OUCA: “It seems to me that people are just making accusations to make OUCA look bad.”
The claims of sexism come at an unfortunate time for OUCA, which finally won back the “U” in its name and regained formal recognition from the University last Friday. The University had cut ties with OUCA last August after it was revealed that a member told a racist joke at the society’s officer hustings.
A spokeswoman for the National Conservative Party said the party was looking into the allegations, and wanted to stress OUCA is in no way affiliated with the Tory party nationally.
A University spokesman declined to comment on whether proctors would launch an investigation into the incident, or if the University would continue to allow OUCA to use the University’s name.

Go back to your kitchen, woman! Sexist heckler in row at Oxford Tories meeting
By Beth Hale and Carl Lewis
The Daily Mail
13/7/10
SPACE
If it was a celebration marking a return to the fold, it didn't quite work out as planned.
A year ago Oxford University Conservative Association was banned from using the college title in its name because of a row over racism.
But with that in the past, it was time to resume its affiliation and move on. Or at least it would have been had the association not been plunged into a fresh controversy - this time over sexism.
As a female speaker gave forth in a debate about education, she was taunted by a student shouting 'kitchen, kitchen shush up woman, go back to the kitchen'.
According to one witness, when Oxford student Isabella Burton continued, Vitus van Rij, 18, suggested she stick to 'pan and brooms' instead of giving speeches about politics.
Given that the OUCA president is a woman and there were many women in the 120-strong audience, it is perhaps not surprising that van Rij was given a swift dressing down.
Two male students stood up and condemned his comments as 'despicable and unacceptable'.
Oxford Union president Laura Winwood, who was also present, said three female association members were 'quite distressed' by the outburst.
Van Rij is said to have left the room after coming under fire, but returned a few minutes later, only to be escorted from the premises.
The student sported a tiny moustache and slicked back hair in a severe parting for the evening, which had been billed as a 'port and policy' event.
Quite how he came to be there is something of a mystery. OUCA president Natalie Shina insisted she did not invite the student.
She said he must have tagged along with members of the Conservative Association of University College London, who she had invited to the event.
But UCL said it had not invited van Rij.
As for van Rij himself, he has kept a low profile since student journalists at Oxford University started trying to contact him.
Van Rij is understood to be a member of the War Studies Society at King's in London as well as a member of a university polo club.
OUCA was at the centre of a racism storm last June. During a drunken hustings for the next president for the body, candidates made racist remarks.
The group, whose former presidents include Margaret Thatcher and William Hague, was subsequently barred from using the university name.
Van Rij has since returned to his native Belgium but told about his behaviour, his ex-girlfriend, Suzanne Kimman, 19, rolled her eyes and said: 'It sounds like something he would do.'

News Editor, THE OXFORD STUDENT
Date: 13/05/2010
Contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Some non-UK students had the chance to vote fraudulently in last week’s election because of lax safeguards and mistaken electoral rolls—and at least 13 foreign students claim to have actually voted illegally, an Oxford Student investigation has revealed.
Eight of the students interviewed declined to speak on the record or reveal their college affiliation publicly, citing concerns about revealing publicly that they broke the law or – more frequently – not wishing to speak negatively about College administrators who failed to compare for accuracy the data provided to them by local electoral officials.
Max Gallien, a German student at Queen’s College – who as an EU citizen was eligible to vote in the local council election but not in the general election – said he cast a ballot in the Oxford East parliamentary contest after election workers confirmed to him he could vote in both races.
Gallien said election workers handed him the national ballot even after he told them he was a German citizen and not allowed to vote: “It said on their list that I was allowed to vote for parliament, too,” he said. “So I did.”
Gallien said he assumed he was wrong about the rules. Later that day, he confirmed from a search online that he was indeed ineligible to vote for parliamentary races.
At least two EU students at Balliol and one American student at Queen’s also claimed to have voted illegally, providing their names and college affiliations to The Oxford Student on the condition that the information be used to verify the story, but not for publication. Administrators at both colleges confirmed the three students were inaccurately reported as British citizens in data provided to them by local electoral officials, but denied blame on their end.
A first-year American student at Queen’s – who should have been entirely ineligible to vote in any race as neither an EU nor a Commonwealth citizen – said he voted at the St Clement’s polling station after receiving both polling cards in the mail.
“When I handed them the polling cards I'd gotten, they handed me both ballots, and I didn’t really say anything,” the student said.
Both students at Queen’s had been mistakenly entered as British citizens on the electoral register.
An administrator at Queen’s blamed local authorities for the error. She said the College just exported data they already had on students.
“We don’t change anything – there is no opportunity for it to be corrupted,” she said. "It's not our job to clean up data given to us by officials."
To test the difficulty of verifying such electoral data, a reporter from this paper entered the personal data provided by the two Queens students into two separate Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, one with the correct data and the other with the incorrect data. The paper then added in matching data for 800 different dummy records, similar to the records that would have been on file with the College internally.
A simple Excel 'Compare Sheets' function then identified the two inaccuracies out of all 802 entries within a few seconds' time.
The same Queens administrator who earlier acknowledged the inaccuracy was informed of the results of The Oxford Student's test, but refused to speak any further on the issue, saying she had already made clear that the College isn't responsible for errors made by local election officials.
A CLOSE RACE, BUT NO EASY WAY TO TELL HOW MANY INCORRECT POLLING CARDS WERE SENT
It is unclear how many foreign citizens might have been mistakenly allowed to vote in the general election, but the close margins of some contests mean any error could be significant.
Oxford West incumbent Evan Harris lost his re-election bid by just 176 votes. Harris’s campaign did not return questions about whether he would challenge the vote; his challenger, Nicola Blackwood, also did not respond to requests for comment by the time this paper went to print.
At least four undergraduate EU citizens at Harris Manchester College were mistakenly sent polling cards for both the local election and the general election, but were given the correct ballot at the polling station.
A spokesman for the national election commission confirmed that EU citizens eligible to vote only in local elections should have received polling cards – which tell voters what elections they are registered for, and where to go to vote – for those contests only. Local authorities were responsible for organizing voter registration and mailing polling cards, he said.
A worker at the Oxford election commission confirmed that EU citizens should not have been sent polling cards for the general election. If they were sent those cards, she said, there “wouldn’t be anything stopping them” from voting for a parliamentary candidate – “but they shouldn’t have done so.”
The confusion and apparent lack of safeguards raise worries about the integrity of last week’s elections in Oxford and elsewhere.
Multiple students told reporters of voting without being asked for identification, while national media reported “chaotic” scenes at polling stations around the country last week along with dozens of allegations of postal vote fraud.
OxStu reporters Winston Featherly-Bean and Matt Thompson-Ryder also contributed to this report. Additionally, the identities of all college officials and named sources were verified independently by the paper's legal counsel before publication of this story.

"Slay the Jews?!"
Police report contradicts Israeli minister's allegation of racist abuse by Union member (link to story on OxfordStudent.com)
By Carl Lewis, News Editor
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>6 May 2010
Police have found no evidence for the widely reported claim that a student protester yelled "Slay the Jews" during an Israeli minister's speech at the Oxford Union last term.
A video analysis of the event has revealed that Noor Rashid, a third-year at Teddy Hall, gave an accurate account to authorities concerning what he shouted at Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon.
It did not find any evidence that Rashid uttered the Arabic phrase “Idhbah al-yahud,” meaning "kill the Jews," as Mr. Ayalon told the audience, and other media outlets have previously suggested.
According to the report, Rashid's actual remark in Arabic translates as "Khaybar, khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return," a phrase which is based on a classical Arabic chant concerning a seventh-century battle between Arabs and Jews at Khaybar, in the Arabian Peninsula.
A spokesman for Mr. Ayalon said the Deputy Foreign Minister stands by his original claim that Rashid made anti-Semitic remarks, but admits he may have misinterpreted or misheard what the student actually said.
"It was very loud, and a lot of people were shouting at once. But even if we misheard the student, what he claims he shouted still has the same threatening, violent and genocidal intent, and is highly inflammatory. We find it very unfortunate that he is not being found guilty," Ayalon's spokesman said.
Rashid said his remark may have been distasteful but it was not intended as anti-Semitic. He said he meant it simply as a metaphor for the Palestinian people overcoming adversity.
"I never said to kill the Jews. I think anti-Semitism is deplorable. Sure, what I shouted wasn't the nicest thing in the world, but it's entirely different than advocating genocide," Rashid said.
Otared Haidar, an Arabic scholar at Oxford's Oriental Institute, referred to Rashid's remark as an "outdated slogan that should not be used."
"It's better that we speak in modern terms, and a lot more civil," Haidar said.
The 8th February incident drew national media attention after Ayalon accused Rashid during the event of calling for the slaughter of Jews and later posted the accusation on his Twitter page.
Eyewitness accounts of the event varied widely as few of those in attendance spoke Arabic and could interpret or remember what Rashid said.
Rashid called coverage of the incident "provocative, inflammatory and slanderous to my name."

Rashid said he considered pressing charges against the Cherwell newspaper after it published an account stating the allegations against him as fact, but eventually relented because of legal costs.
Thames Valley Police have dropped their investigation into Rashid, citing a lack of evidence.

An Oxford Union official has confirmed that Rashid will remain a Union member.

Eruption scatters students across the globe
By Carl Lewis
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>22 April 2010
[/box]
When second year Lady Margaret Hall student Matthew Nicholl flew home to Northern Ireland for the Easter holiday last month, he knew it might be a hectic time of the year to travel. What he didn't know, however, is that a volcanic ash cloud would get in his way.
"It's the last thing I was worried about. And now I'm in an awful situation. I have absolutely no idea when I can get a flight back," Nicholl said.
Hundreds of Oxford students like Nicholl are stuck abroad after ash plumes from a volcanic eruption in Iceland last Thursday forced closure of UK airspace indefinitely.
Many of Oxford's more than 6,000 international students are stranded at home, and still more students who went on holiday during the break are scattered across the globe, unable to return for pending exams and lectures.
The University Athletics Club has been stuck in Portugal since Friday, where it was conducting warm-weather training during the break.
Claire Baouduin, a member of the club, said she and her teammates have decided to abandon their flights and instead make the 30-hour long journey back by bus and train.
But Isabella Eichler, a postgraduate student at the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, was not so lucky.
After her flight to Heathrow was canceled midair Thursday, Eichler found that all the train tickets to London were already sold out, forcing her father to make the nine hour drive from Germany to get her back to Oxford on time.
"Thirty minutes into the flight the pilot suddenly announced that we were about to turn around back to Dusseldorf because Heathrow had just shut down. I wasted hours of precious dissertation writing spending Thursday afternoon trying to get out of Germany and make the car journey back," Eichler said.
Students are not only missing exams, but social events and other obligations as well.
At Exeter College, a number of stranded students have requested refunds for the college ball, which is scheduled for this Saturday.
The Ball Committee has so far refused to offer refunds, saying that "on the list of things we didn't plan for, right below 'alien invasion' was 'volcanic ash cloud closing down European airspace."
Some colleges have begun organising help for students whose flights have been delayed. St John's' alumni have given accommodation and financial assistance to members of the College choir who were delayed in New York.
But for Nicholl, who will be unable to return to school for at least another five days, nothing can make up for the frustration of being stuck in limbo.
"I'm missing my collections. I'm missing getting to spend time with my friends before term starts. And the worst part is that I don't know whether to start packing or to start studying. It's quite annoying," Nicholl said.

State colleges, universities hit with furloughs
By Carl Lewis
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thursday, Aug. 13, 2009
[/box]
Public college students in the midstate may experience canceled classes, longer lines at the cafeteria and less one-on-one time with their professors this fall.
As part of a new cost-cutting measure approved Wednesday by the Georgia Board of Regents, faculty and staff at Georgia’s colleges and universities will take six furlough days during the upcoming academic year. The measure is expected to save the state $42 million.
“The university system is no more immune from the impacts of this economy than any other organization,” Chancellor Erroll B. Davis said. “There will be impacts, but we will try to keep the impacts on students to a minimum.”
Still, it won’t be easy to cushion all students from the cuts.
At Fort Valley State University, officials will most likely close the campus altogether during the furlough days, spokeswoman Vickie Oldham said.
“Closing down is something we hate to do, but it’s best to do it that way because it saves on energy and utility costs,” Oldham said.
Terrance Smith, FVSU’s vice president of student affairs, said he hopes the university won’t be forced to shut down. If it does, officials will try to schedule closures during days that will impact students the least, he said.
“We’re looking at maybe a day or two during the Thanksgiving holiday or Christmas break,” Smith said.
At Macon State College, classes won’t be canceled, but students could have a harder time scheduling appointments with their academic advisers, spokesman Bill Weaver said.
“We’re hoping the impact upon students will be negligible ... but it is possible that there could be some very minimal time delays in getting seen,” he said.
Weaver said Macon State officials are trying to schedule professors’ days off during weekdays when they don’t teach classes, but plans are still preliminary.
“There’s a lot of things we don’t know yet. Does everybody have to take the same day off? Could we take half days?” Weaver said.
At Middle Georgia College in Cochran, quality of student services will be impacted across the board, President Michael Stoy said.
“It’s going to cause us to stagger our workload, which could cause students to see longer lines at places like the registrar’s office,” Stoy said.
Georgia College & State University hasn’t decided yet how it will implement the furloughs, but university operations will be impacted significantly, Georgia College President Dorothy Leland said.
“Collectively, the furloughs represent the loss of approximately 37,000 people hours during the fiscal year,” Leland said. “Our challenge is to find ways to continue to operate the university effectively and educate its students under these circumstances.”
Leland said she’s confident Georgia College faculty and staff will pull together during these tough times and find creative ways to do as little harm to the university’s 6,600 students as possible.
“Fortunately, the university has a history of people pulling together,” Leland said. “There is a creative, entrepreneurial spirit here. I’m confident we’ll figure it out.”

Acquiring root images
byThe image acquisition step is a critical one as it will determine the quantity of information contained in the final image. Fortunately, good images can be obtain fairly simply without buying fancy expensive material.
In the next posts I will give simple tips to acquire nice root images with either a CCD camera or a scanner (which are probably the most widely used image acquisition devices as well as the less expensive). But first a small reminder on the image requirements.
Image requirement
In a previous post I presented the main features required to have an image suitable for analysis. In short, the image has to be:
- cleaned of the surrounding soil and dirt;
- without too much root overlapping and crossing;
- of high-resolution;
- highly contrasted (between the roots and the background)
- scaled (number of pixels / cm)

How to use this tool: enter the amount of Rune as you'd enter a pool in THORSwap. If you'd like to enter asimmetrically with an asset, you must calcualate how much 50% of the asset would be in Rune. Note: this will be improved in the future. For now use it like this ;)

Royal Caribbean in five-year tie-up with tourism board, CAG
Royal Caribbean International has entered into a new multi-million-dollar marketing partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) to promote fly-cruises.
The five-year tripartite collaboration is expected to bring some 623,000 international fly-cruise visitors to Singapore and generate more than $430 million in tourism receipts between end-2019 and 2024.
The announcement of the partnership is in tandem with news of the cruise line's five-year Quantum-class deployment in Singapore, which includes Quantum of the Seas, one of Asia's largest and most revolutionary cruise ships.
To kick off the partnership, Quantum of the Seas has arrived fresh from her multi-million-dollar refurbishment for her six-month homeporting season in Singapore - Royal Caribbean's longest Singapore deployment for a Quantum Class ship - which is expected to add some 150,000 overseas and local guests to the local cruising scene.

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and this is my portfolio! So a little about me I am a 3rd year CS major at Engineering school at the University of Virgina. I am originally from Northern Virginia (NOVA as we like to call it). I am a first gen college student as both of my parents are immigrants. My mom is from Peru and my dad is from Honduras. I am the eldest of two with just a younger sister who is going to go to the rival university of mine! Outside of school I really love to travel. So far I have been to 12 different countries and hopefully after I graduate I will be able to travel again. I also really love taking care of kids. I used to work as a swim instructor for a year and half teaching mommy and me's and toddlers. I also nannied last summer and would volunteer as at a local preschool in Charlottesville. I am also a HUGE Disney fan. My house is filled with Disney decorations, stuff animals, appliances you name it. Right now I am just trying to get back into a normal routine. This school year has really thrown me for a loop so at the moment I am just trying to get back into working out, eating a normal times again(lol), and trying to take some summer classes along with SPS. So thats just a brief overview of who I am. Hopefully this portfolio will give you an insight to who I am.

Suppose that Selection Sort is given an input of 100 records, and it has completed NUM iterations of the main loop. How many records are now guaranteed to be in their final position (never to be moved again by the sort)?
On each pass, Selection Sort puts a record into its final position.
So, if Selection Sort has done NUM passes, then at least NUM records are in their final positions.

Light intensity ranges from 0-255
0 (the absense of light) is the darkest possible value. 255 is the maximum amount of light. In a greyscale example, 0 is black, 255 is white, and the numbers in between are varying shades of grey.
Intensity values range between 0 and 255 for a total of 256 possible values. Why 256? Pixel information is stored in bits. 8 bits = 1 byte. One byte can represent 2^8=256 options. If we allot 1 byte to red, green and blue we end up with 3 byes or 24-bits of storage. This is what is referred to as 24-bit color.
If we allot a value in the 0-255 range to each of the red, green and blue values we end up with an RGB triple. If we want to use RGB triples to describe color, we can simulate the grey scale above by making each of the red, green and blue components identical. For example, (0,0,0) is black and (255,255,255) is white. The RGB grey scale is below.
Change the value of all values and you slide up and down the scale. Change the value of only one compnent, however, and you deviate from the grey scale into the RGB color space.


We introduce Zplot, a Python library for making two-dimensional data plots. Zplot provides a simple set of primitives that allow users to input and manipulate data, plot said data in a variety of formats, and decorate the resulting graphs with axes, labels, and other textual accents. Zplot then outputs encapsulated PostScript and PDF for ease of inclusion in technical documents, and SVG for inclusion of generated plots in modern web pages.
Zplot is a simple Python library that allows the creation of two-dimensional data graphics in a flexible and powerful manner. Typical graphs are created with only a few lines of code, and complex and intricate graphs can be produced from only tens of lines of code. Additionally, because Zplot graph-creation is simply Python, one can bring to bear all the power of programming to create visualizations. Repetitive tasks can be performed in loops, and useful primitives can be encapsulated in functions.
In this document, we describe Zplot. First, we give an overview of the tool and the basic primitives it provides. Then, we describe each of the basic routines in more detail, showing how they can be combined to produce a wide range of interesting graphs. Zplot drawing routines are all built upon a set of low-level generic drawing commands that can produce PostScript, PDF, or SVG graphic formats; these commands hide many of the details of generating correct PostScript, PDF, or SVG from the rest of Zplot, boiling down most activities to simple drawing commands that place lines, shapes, and text on the drawing surface.
We now describe the basic primitives provided by Zplot. Let us start with a typical (if simple) graph as an example, and use this to drive the discussion of the different elements of Zplot. A typical graphing script might be written as follows:
# import the library from zplot import * import sys # describe the drawing surface ctype = 'eps' if len(sys.argv) < 2 else sys.argv[1] c = canvas(ctype, title='example1', dimensions=['3in', '2.4in']) # load some data t = table(file='example1.data') # make a drawable region for a graph d = drawable(canvas=c, xrange=[0,10], yrange=[0,10], coord=['0.5in','0.4in'], dimensions=['2.3in','1.7in']) # make some axes axis(drawable=d, title='A Sample Graph', xtitle='The X-Axis', ytitle='The Y-Axis') # plot the points p = plotter() p.points(drawable=d, table=t, xfield='x', yfield='y', style='triangle', linecolor='red', fill=True, fillcolor='red') # finally, output the graph to a file c.render()
The EPS version of this graph is shown here; a PDF version of this graph is shown here; it is made from this data set using this script.
In this example, the user creates a graph by first describing the drawing surface by creating a canvas object and specifying its dimensions; the user at this point specifies the type of the canvas, which can currently be 'eps' (for PostScript), 'pdf' (for PDF), or 'svg' (for SVG graphics format). Here, as in many of the example graphs, the script will generate the output file 'example1.eps' if no arguments are passed to the script, but can be directed to generate PDF or SVG formats simply by passing in the 'pdf' or 'svg' argument to the canvas (and thus generate 'example1.pdf' or 'example1.svg', respectively).
Then, the user creates a table object to
load data from a file, getting the data from a file called
example.data.
The table object provides some simple ways to read
input files, and later plotting routines expect to input data from such
tables.
The user, now wishing to plot the data, now creates a drawable region by creating a drawable object; doing so defines where on the canvas the drawable is, and also how to map data points onto the drawing surface (e.g., the range of x values and y values that map onto this drawable); note that interesting graphs can use more than one drawable to great effect.
With a drawable defined, the user can create a plotter object, call one of a variety of plotting routines (e.g., points()) to plot the data onto the drawable. The plotting routines generally take a large number of arguments, enabling a wide variety of plots to be produced; in this case, the user chooses to draw a red triangle at each (x,y) point of the graph.
Finally, the user adds some graphical and textual decorations to help clarify the graph (in this case, by simply creating an axis object), and then renders the PostScript to a file by calling the render() method of the canvas object. We now describe each of these primitives in more detail.
Note that each of these routines takes a large number of optional parameters. Read more about them in the documentation.
There are numerous routines available to users to input and manipulate data; these are found in the table object and related methods. The most commonly used approach is simply to create a table object and pass in a file name; creating a table in this way will read the file into memory and thus make it ready to be plotted. A typical data file (such as example1.data above) looks like this:
# x y 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 6 ... 9 4 10 8
The first line contains the schema for the table, with names for each column; these names are subsequently used to refer to the data when manipulating it or drawing it to the screen. If no schema is specified, one can simply refer to each column by the names 'c0', 'c1', and so forth. The default is to use whitespace as a separator; however, one can specify a different separator (such as a comma or colon) as need be.
One powerful aspect of tables in zplot is that they utilize SQLite; this
allows one to perform database-like selections over data and thus subset and
manipulate data readily. Here is an example that selects data from a table
with y-values above 5 by creating a new table thi
, and plots
green circles around said points (the results of which are shown in the figure
linked below).
# load some data t = table(file='example2.data') thi = table(table=t, where='y > 5') ... # plot the points p = plotter() p.points(drawable=d, table=t, xfield='x', yfield='y', style='triangle', linecolor='red', fill=True, fillcolor='red') p.points(drawable=d, table=thi, xfield='x', yfield='y', style='circle', linecolor='green', size='5', linewidth=2)
This example is shown in PostScript here; it is made from this data set using this script.
There are a number of other useful table functions which are not covered here, mostly for manipulating and summarizing data; see the table method APIs for more information. For example, the update() method allows arbitrary SQL updates to be performed.
The drawable is likely the most important abstraction that Zplot implements. A drawable is created by instantiating a drawable object. The powerful aspect of a drawable is that it enables a user to place multiple (potentially overlapping) drawable regions onto the drawing surface. This feature can be used to implement a number of interesting graphs. For example, in the figure below (Figure 5 in this a FAST paper), two regions of the graph are of interest but hard to see due to their small size. Thus, one can create two additional drawables and plot closeups of the data in those regions.
The FAST paper graph can be seen here; it is made from this file and this file using this script. Two closeups are made in the lower graph, with only a few lines of code required to do so.
This example also demonstrates a number of parameters that the drawable
object can be passed when creating it. For example, a user can specify its
exact position with the coord
parameter and its size with the
dimensions
parameter.
Multiple drawables can also be used to plot data with multiple y axes in a simple and straightforward manner. In this example, we plot the same data from the example above, except onto an overlapping drawable that maps the y range from 0 up to 20 (instead of 0 to 10).
This third example is shown here; it is made from this data set using this script (this script is also shown below). The script creates two drawables, the right one with a y-range that is twice as high as the left one. The same data is plotted on both drawables, but with different scales.
# import the library from zplot import * import sys # describe the drawing surface ctype = 'eps' if len(sys.argv) < 2 else sys.argv[1] c = canvas(ctype, title='example3', dimensions=['3.3in', '2.4in']) # load some data t = table(file='example3.data') # make a drawable region for a graph d1 = drawable(canvas=c, xrange=[0,10], yrange=[0,10], coord=['0.5in','0.4in'], dimensions=['2.3in','1.7in']) d2 = drawable(canvas=c, xrange=[0,10], yrange=[0,20], coord=['0.5in','0.4in'], dimensions=['2.3in','1.7in']) # make some axes axis(drawable=d1, title='A Sample Graph', xtitle='The X-Axis', ytitle='The Y-Axis') axis(drawable=d2, style='y', title='', ytitle='The Second Y-Axis', yaxisposition=10, yauto=[0,20,4], labelstyle='in', ticstyle='in') # plot the points p = plotter() p.points(drawable=d1, table=t, xfield='x', yfield='y', style='triangle', linecolor='red', fill=True, fillcolor='red') p.points(drawable=d2, table=t, xfield='x', yfield='y', style='triangle', linecolor='green', fill=True, fillcolor='green') # finally, output the graph to a file c.render()
The plotter object is used to plot data onto drawables. It provides numerous plotting methods to get this job done:
This next example, shown in Figure 5 above, presents a number of different possibilities from the above, all combined into a single script. The EPS graph is shown here; PDF here; it is made from this data set using this script. One interesting point is that multiple types from above can be combined to make more interesting plots; for example, a box-and-whiskers type plot is simply a combination of vertical intervals, vertical bars, and points.
Another example plots a number of different patterns in a set of stacked bars. As one can see, patterns such as diagonal lines and triangles can be used to fill a region, allowing for the creation of bar graphs with many different types of data within. The example is shown here; it is made from this data set using this script.
A single complex object supports the generation of axes, tic marks, and labels for a graph. It is (not surprisingly) called the axis object. It has too many arguments to describe here in any detail; see the documentation page for details. However, it is often quite simple to use. For example, to specify the title, label for the x-axis, and label for the y-axis, one simple do the following:
axis(drawable=d, title='Title', xtitle='X-Axis', ytitle='Y-Axis')
Internal algorithms compute reasonable locations for said labels (depending on whether tic marks are used, for example). Further, when the guesses are wrong, one can use a shift argument to move the text to a more appropriate location (e.g., the titleshift argument can be passed the value [3,0] to bump it 3 points to the right). Many of the other options deal with customizations such as font selection, rotation, color, and so forth.
Finally, Zplot provides support in most plotting routines for the addition of a legend via a legend object; see documentation here. Each given plot method (such as line()) takes an optional legend parameter which specifies the legend object, and a legendtext parameter which indicates the name to be associated with the data. The script should subsequently call the draw() method to place the legend on the screen and control its appearance. This script contains the following example (some lines omitted for brevity):
... L = legend() p = plotter() p.verticalbars(drawable=d, table=b5, xfield='x', yfield='y', fill=True, fillcolor='darkgray', bgcolor='white', barwidth=0.9, legend=L, legendtext='Stuff', linewidth=0.5) ... L.draw(canvas=c, coord=d.map([6,8]), down=True, width=15, height=15) c.render()
Zplot is built on top of a number of underlying canvas primitives. Three types of canvases are currently supported: PostScript (actually, embedded Postscript, or EPS for short), PDF, and SVG graphics. The user can select which to output by simply specifying it when creating a canvas object. The EPS format is particularly useful for inclusion in LaTeX-generated papers, whereas SVG can be useful for web pages; PDF is useful in many scenarios. Each type of canvas provides the basic ability to draw shapes as well as place text into the figure the user is making. Furthermore, the primitives provided by the canvases are used by the plotting routines and thus make said plotting code (such as that found in the creation of the different types of plots) canvas-neutral.
One method found in these classes is
line()
, which lets the user draw a line directly on the
canvas. The method is passed a set of coordinates, some basic information
about the line, and then produces a line that connects the coordinates in the
resulting PostScript, PDF, or SVG. All primitives take coordinates in
PostScript ems, each of which is 1/72nd of an inch. The line method
takes additional arguments that allow the addition of an arrow to the end of
the line; we omit these parameters for the sake of space;
see this for more information.
An example of some of the subtle differences in lines is shown here; it is made using this script.
There are a few other raw drawing methods, such as
box()
,
circle()
,
polygon()
, all of which
make the shape one might expect, given the name.
linewidth, linejoin,
linecap, linedash
), the fill of the shape (fill,
fillstyle
), and the background color behind any non-solid fill pattern
(bgcolor
). The line descriptors match those of
the line()
method above, and the background color is
straightforward. Most interesting, then, is the variety and flexibility
provided by the pattern descriptions.
Parameters further allow users to specify a fill pattern for a region. The
most important parameter is fillstyle
, which determines how the
region is filled. Current styles that are supported include solid,
hline, vline, dline1, dline2, circle, square, triangle, utriangle
. Each
pattern takes two arguments to determine its contents: a fillsize
and fillskip
. Within a given pattern, fillsize
determines the size of each element in the pattern, and fillskip
the space between each element.
An example shape and pattern collection is shown in EPS here; in PDF here; data is available here; it is made using this script.
The last canvas method we describe
is text(), which draws text onto the
screen. Most of its parameters are straightforward. However, the most crucial
argument to understand is the anchor
. This parameter describes
how the text should be anchored relative to the coordinate that was passed to
the routine. The parameter takes the form of a comma-separated
string 'xanchor,yanchor'
, where xanchor specifies the anchoring
of the text in the x direction (either l
for left, c
for center, or r
for right), and yanchor the anchoring in the y
direction (l
for low, c
for center,
and h
for high). The figure below shows the different possible
anchors (the coordinates passed to the text drawing routine are highlighted
with a red circle).
The anchoring EPS graph is shown here; PDF here; it is made using this script.
One of the major advantages of Zplot versus other plotting packages is that the user simply writes Python. Thus, one can write functions and use code to simplify the task at hand; one is not limited by some artificial graph-specification language.
In this example, we define two new functions:
label_with_arrow()
and circle_with_text()
. The first draws
a label at a particular spot on the canvas, and the second draws a circle with
some text inside of it. Each are just plain Python functions that call various
Zplot primitives to get their work done.
The example also shows how you can use classic constructs like loops, randomization, and other similar constructs to ease the creation of interesting visualizations. In this example, we create a number of green random dots via a simple loop.
The EPS graph is shown here; PDF here; it is made using this script. The SVG is shown below in Figure 8.
Zplot was a tool born of frustration with gnuplot. Gnuplot provides excellent support for simple line graphs and scatter plots, as well as numerous other graph types. However, its lack of reasonable support for bar charts was one of the main driving forces behind Zplot. One positive of gnuplot was its PostScript driver; the PostScript produced by gnuplot was clear and easy to read, sparking an initial interest in that language, and thus (indirectly) making Zplot possible. Great PostScript resources, for those who are interested, are the blue book, red book, and (to some extent), the green book; all are available online.
A number of good SVG resources are also available online. We found Jenkov's tutorials to be particularly useful.
It is somewhat harder to find good resources for generating raw PDFs; PDF files are a bit intricate in that they force the inclusion of many precise byte offsets for fast lookup of objects, and there generally is a lack of examples (as compared to PostScript, for which there are numerous good resources). The PDF reference is useful and covers everything, but does not include many detailed examples; the SyncFusion book is quite useful in this regard.
As Zplot was demonstrated to others, some were reminded of
Ploticus, which
is a more powerful and complete tool than gnuplot and is capable of producing
a large variety of interesting graph types. Many of the features found in
Zplot are also found in ploticus (e.g., a ploticus area
is akin
to a Zplot drawable
), and we often use examples from the Ploticus
web page to determine whether Zplot can easily do what Ploticus already
does. However, Ploticus is complex and harder to modify, comprised of over
60,000 lines of C code. Zplot, in contrast, consists of a few thousand lines
of Python. This comparison is certainly unfair, as Zplot is not as
feature-rich as Ploticus, but the point remains.
We have introduced Zplot, a pure Python library for drawing PostScript (and SVG) figures. Zplot provides a number of powerful but simple tools for making beautiful two-dimensional plots. Dive into the documentation, or, better yet, look at existing examples to learn more.

Each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 is rolled or the player decides to "hold": If the player rolls a 1, they score nothing and it becomes the next player's turn. If the player rolls any other number, it is added to their turn total and the player's turn continues. If a player chooses to "hold", .their turn total is added to their score, and it becomes the next player's turn. The first player to score 100 or more points wins.

Applied Data Analysis and Machine Learning¶
Introduction¶
Probability theory and statistical methods play a central role in Science. Nowadays we are surrounded by huge amounts of data. For example, there are more than one trillion web pages; more than one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube every second, amounting to years of content every day; the genomes of 1000s of people, each of which has a length of more than a billion base pairs, have been sequenced by various labs and so on. This deluge of data calls for automated methods of data analysis, which is exactly what machine learning aims at providing.
Learning outcomes¶
This course aims at giving you insights and knowledge about many of the central algorithms used in Data Analysis and Machine Learning. The course is project based and through various numerical projects and weekly exercises you will be exposed to fundamental research problems in these fields, with the aim to reproduce state of the art scientific results. Both supervised and unsupervised methods will be covered. The emphasis is on a frequentist approach with an emphasis on predictions and correaltions. However, we will try, where appropriate, to link our machine learning models with a Bayesian approach as well. You will learn to develop and structure large codes for studying different cases where Machine Learning is applied to, get acquainted with computing facilities and learn to handle large scientific projects. A good scientific and ethical conduct is emphasized throughout the course. More specifically, after this course you will
Learn about basic data analysis, statistical analysis, Bayesian statistics, Monte Carlo sampling, data optimization and machine learning;
Be capable of extending the acquired knowledge to other systems and cases;
Have an understanding of central algorithms used in data analysis and machine learning;
Understand linear methods for regression and classification, from ordinary least squares, via Lasso and Ridge to Logistic regression and Kernel regression;
Learn about neural networks and deep learning methods for supervised and unsupervised learning. Emphasis on feed forward neural networks, convolutional and recurrent neural networks;
Learn about about decision trees, random forests, bagging and boosting methods;
Learn about support vector machines and kernel transformations;
Reduction of data sets and unsupervised learning, from PCA to clustering;
Autoencoders and Reinforcement Learning;
Work on numerical projects to illustrate the theory. The projects play a central role and you are expected to know modern programming languages like Python or C++ and/or Fortran (Fortran2003 or later).
Prerequisites and background¶
Basic knowledge in programming and mathematics, with an emphasis on linear algebra. Knowledge of Python or/and C++ as programming languages is strongly recommended and experience with Jupyter notebooks is recommended. Required courses are the equivalents to the University of Oslo mathematics courses MAT1100, MAT1110, MAT1120 and at least one of the corresponding computing and programming courses INF1000/INF1110 or MAT-INF1100/MAT-INF1100L/BIOS1100/KJM-INF1100. Most universities offer nowadays a basic programming course (often compulsory) where Python is the recurring programming language. We recommend also refreshing your knowledge on Statistics and Probability theory. The lecture notes at https://compphysics.github.io/MachineLearning/doc/LectureNotes/_build/html/intro.html offer a review of Statistics and Probability theory.
The course has two central parts¶
Statistical analysis and optimization of data
Machine learning
Statistical analysis and optimization of data¶
The following topics will be covered
Basic concepts, expectation values, variance, covariance, correlation functions and errors;
Simpler models, binomial distribution, the Poisson distribution, simple and multivariate normal distributions;
Central elements of Bayesian statistics and modeling;
Gradient methods for data optimization,
Monte Carlo methods, Markov chains, Gibbs sampling and Metropolis-Hastings sampling;
Estimation of errors and resampling techniques such as the cross-validation, blocking, bootstrapping and jackknife methods;
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and its mathematical foundation
Machine learning¶
The following topics will be covered:
Linear Regression and Logistic Regression;
Neural networks and deep learning, including convolutional and recurrent neural networks
Decisions trees, Random Forests, Bagging and Boosting
Support vector machines
Bayesian linear and logistic regression
Boltzmann Machines
Unsupervised learning Dimensionality reduction, PCA, k-means and clustering
Autoenconders
Hands-on demonstrations, exercises and projects aim at deepening your understanding of these topics.
Computational aspects play a central role and you are expected to work on numerical examples and projects which illustrate the theory and various algorithms discussed during the lectures. We recommend strongly to form small project groups of 2-3 participants, if possible.
Required Technologies¶
Course participants are expected to have their own laptops/PCs. We use Git as version control software and the usage of providers like GitHub, GitLab or similar are strongly recommended. If you are not familiar with Git as version control software, the following video may be of interest, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOj5yH7evk&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org
We will make extensive use of Python as programming language and its myriad of available libraries. You will find Jupyter notebooks invaluable in your work. You can run R codes in the Jupyter/IPython notebooks, with the immediate benefit of visualizing your data. You can also use compiled languages like C++, Rust, Julia, Fortran etc if you prefer. The focus in these lectures will be on Python.
If you have Python installed and you feel pretty familiar with installing different packages, we recommend that you install the following Python packages via pip as
pip install numpy scipy matplotlib ipython scikit-learn mglearn sympy pandas pillow
For OSX users we recommend, after having installed Xcode, to install brew. Brew allows for a seamless installation of additional software via for example
brew install python3
For Linux users, with its variety of distributions like for example the widely popular Ubuntu distribution, you can use pip as well and simply install Python as
sudo apt-get install python3
Python installers¶
If you don’t want to perform these operations separately and venture into the hassle of exploring how to set up dependencies and paths, we recommend two widely used distrubutions which set up all relevant dependencies for Python, namely
Anaconda:https://docs.anaconda.com/,
which is an open source distribution of the Python and R programming languages for large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, and scientific computing, that aims to simplify package management and deployment. Package versions are managed by the package management system conda.
Enthought canopy:https://www.enthought.com/product/canopy/
is a Python distribution for scientific and analytic computing distribution and analysis environment, available for free and under a commercial license.
Furthermore, Google’s Colab:https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/welcome.ipynb is a free Jupyter notebook environment that requires no setup and runs entirely in the cloud. Try it out!
Useful Python libraries¶
Here we list several useful Python libraries we strongly recommend (if you use anaconda many of these are already there)
NumPy:https://www.numpy.org/ is a highly popular library for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices, along with a large collection of high-level mathematical functions to operate on these arrays
The pandas:https://pandas.pydata.org/ library provides high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools
Xarray:http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/ is a Python package that makes working with labelled multi-dimensional arrays simple, efficient, and fun!
Scipy:https://www.scipy.org/ (pronounced “Sigh Pie”) is a Python-based ecosystem of open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering.
Matplotlib:https://matplotlib.org/ is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms.
Autograd:https://github.com/HIPS/autograd can automatically differentiate native Python and Numpy code. It can handle a large subset of Python’s features, including loops, ifs, recursion and closures, and it can even take derivatives of derivatives of derivatives
JAX https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html has now more or less replaced Autograd. JAX is Autograd and XLA, brought together for high-performance numerical computing and machine learning research. It provides composable transformations of Python+NumPy programs: differentiate, vectorize, parallelize, Just-In-Time compile to GPU/TPU, and more.
SymPy:https://www.sympy.org/en/index.html is a Python library for symbolic mathematics.
scikit-learn:https://scikit-learn.org/stable/ has simple and efficient tools for machine learning, data mining and data analysis
TensorFlow:https://www.tensorflow.org/ is a Python library for fast numerical computing created and released by Google
Keras:https://keras.io/ is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano
And many more such as pytorch:https://pytorch.org/, Theano:https://pypi.org/project/Theano/ etc

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet,
and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and
have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's
yours.”
-- "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand
We need to supply our new factory with four various resources from four different stations. For simplicity we will
name them 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th resources (we can leave the rest up to your imagination). For this we will need to
calculate four routes from the supply stations to the factory. Trucks will must deliver our supplies without
stopping and we can not build several layers roads. So the truck routes should not intersect.
You are given a rectangular map divided by square cells.
The map is represented as a sequence of strings, where:
- "." is a clear cell;
- "X" is an obstacle (forest, lake, etc);
- "1", "2", "3" or "4" are supply stations;
- "F" is a factory.
You are given a rectangular map divided by square cells. The map is represented as a sequence of strings, where:
- "N" north (up);
- "S" south (down);
- "E" east (right);
- "W" west (left);
A route will be represented as a string with these letters.
The result should be as a sequence (list or tuple) of four routes from 1st to 4th.
For the given example (image) the result will be described as:
["NEEEESSSWS",
"WSSSSSSSEEENNNNEN,
"NNNNEE",
"NNNNWWWW"]
Input: The map as a tuple of strings.
Output: The routes as a tuple/list of strings.
Example:
supply_routes(("..........",
".1X.......",
".2X.X.....",
".XXX......",
".X..F.....",
".X........",
".X..X.....",
".X..X.....",
"..3.X...4.",
"....X....."))
How it is used:
This algorithm which you will write can serve as a foundation for software that designs circuit boards, or as a
simple traffic management system.
Precondition:
All test cases are solvable.
5 ≤ len(the_map) ≤ 10
all(5 ≤ len(row) ≤ 10 for row in the_map)

Kurram district's police arrest 9 men in minor girl's rape, murder case
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/6517/javid-husain, Javid HusainPolice arrested nine more men in a case pertaining to the alleged rape and murder of a five-year-old in Kurram district's Peewar area, District Police Officer (DPO) Rahim Shah said on Friday.
Shah added that police have sent DNA samples to the Punjab Forensic Science Agency in Lahore and expressed hope that the case will be solved soon.
The recent arrests bring the number of people arrested in connection with the case up to 11. Police had arrested two suspects earlier this week.
Meanwhile, commanding Brig Najaf Abbas and commanding officer Col Mohammad Javed Ilyas of Brigade 73 also visited the area and talked to the victim's family as well as the staff of the government school where she studied.
They said that the culprits would not be able to escape punishment and added that measures were being taken to prevent such incidents.
Earlier this week, the victim was found dead in a pond in the Peewar village by her family. According to the victim's grandfather, the family started to look for the minor girl when she did not return from school.
The body was taken to the district headquarters hospital Parachinar for autopsy and, later, a medical examination revealed that the minor girl was subjected to sexual assault before she was killed.
Later, the DPO had said that two watchmen of the school had been taken into custody for investigation.
Following the incident, students and members of local bar association held a protest on Wednesday against the incident. The protesters demanded the local authorities to investigate the case and ensure early arrest of the culprit.
