Archived discussion on Ellipsis in UD v2
#Notice This is an archive page. The final documentation is here: http://universaldependencies.org/u/overview/specific-syntax.html#ellipsis
The remnant
relation turned out to be a non-optimal way for analyzing complex ellipitical constructions. We therefore introduce the following changes in UD v2:
- The
remnant
relation is discarded - In the case of simple head ellipsis, a dependent is promoted
- In case of predicate ellipsis, we also use promotion but introduce a new relation
orphan
for non-standard dependency relations that arise - The complex cases of ellipsis should be analyzed with NULL nodes in the enhanced representation
Problems with the remnant
analysis
The old analysis of elliptical constructions using the remnant
relation does not work well when the second clause contains additional modifiers of the elided predicate.
They had left the company , many for good .
nsubj(left, They)
obj(left, company)
remnant(They, many)
obl(many, good)
In this example, for good is modifying the elided left of the second clause. However, as no similar modifier exists in the first clause, for good cannot be attached with a remnant relation and no reasonable analysis of this sentence is possible. In practice, annotators attached the extra modifier to the subject of the second clause, which incorrectly suggests that for good is modifying the subject many.
Additional issues of the remnant
analysis are:
- The dependency trees contain a lot of non-projective dependencies, which complicates parsing.
- The requirement that every argument/modifier of the elided predicate has an antecedent, makes it impossible to analyze cross-sentence elliptical constructions. (This would require relations crossing sentence boundaries.)
Head ellipsis in UD v2
In the following cases of head ellipsis, we promote a dependent of the elided head.
Nominals
If the head nominal is elided, we promote dependents in the following order: amod
> nummod
> det
> nmod
> case
.
Examples:
Er kauft sich ein grünes Auto und sie kauft sich ein rotes . \n He buys himself a green car and she buys herself a red .
nsubj(kauft-2, Er-1)
det(Auto-6, ein-4)
amod(Auto-6, grünes-5)
obj(kauft-2, Auto-6)
conj(kauft-2, kauft-9)
nsubj(kauft-9, sie-8)
obj(kauft-9, rotes-12)
det(rotes-12, ein-11)
She saw every animal at the zoo but he saw only some .
nsubj(saw-2, She-1)
det(animal-4, every-3)
obj(saw-2, animal-4)
conj(saw-2, saw-10)
advmod(some-12, only-11)
obj(saw-10, some-12)
She saw three monkeys and he saw two .
nsubj(saw-2, She-1)
nummod(monkeys-4, three-3)
obj(saw-2, monkeys-4)
conj(saw-2, saw-7)
obj(saw-7, two-8)
Clauses
If the main predicate is elided, we use simple promotion only if there is an aux
or cop
, or a mark
in the case of an infinitival marker.
Example:
Sue likes pasta and Peter does , too .
nsubj(likes-2, Sue-1)
obj(likes-2, pasta-3)
conj(likes-2, does-6)
nsubj(does-6, Peter-5)
advmod(does-6, too-8)
Sue is hungry and Peter is , too .
nsubj(hungry-3, Sue-1)
cop(hungry-3, is-2)
conj(hungry-3, is-6)
nsubj(is-6, Peter-5)
advmod(is-6, too-8)
They will do it if they want to .
nsubj(will-2, They-1)
aux(do-3, will-2)
obj(it-4, do-3)
advcl(do-3, want-7)
nsubj(want-7, they-6)
xcomp(want-7, to-8)
Predicate ellipsis in Basic UD v2
In more complicated cases where a predicate is elided but no aux
or cop
is present, promotion would lead to very unnatural and confusing relations. For example, in the following sentence, you would be the subject of coffee, suggesting that the second clause contains a copular construction rather than an elided predicate.
I like tea and you coffee .
nsubj(like-2, I-1)
obj(like-2, tea-3)
nsubj(coffee-6, you-5)
conj(like-2, coffee-6)
We considered two alternative proposals for dealing with such cases in UD basic dependencies, one that make use of composite relations (but do not introduce any new relations) and one that instead adds a new relation named orphan
to preserve intuitions about constituency. In the end we adopted alternative 2.
Predicate ellipis 1: composite relations (rejected variant)
The first alternative is to attach orphans to their grandparent with a composite relation of the form headrel>orphanrel
.
Example:
I like tea and you coffee .
nsubj(like-2, I-1)
obj(like-2, tea-3)
conj>nsubj(like-2, you-5)
conj>obj(like-2, coffee-6)
If the grandparent is also elided, the relation is composed of all three relations and the orphan is attached to its great-grandparent.
Example:
Mary wants to buy a book and Jenny a CD .
nsubj(wants-2, Mary-1)
xcomp(wants-2, buy-4)
obj(buy-4, book-6)
conj>nsubj(wants-2, Jenny-8)
conj>xcomp>obj(wants-2, CD-10)
Unlike the analysis using the remnant
relation, this proposal also allows us to analyze sentences in which the second clause contains additional modifiers.
They had left the company , many for good .
nsubj(left, They)
obj(left, company)
conj>nsubj(left, many)
conj>nmod(left, good)
This approach can also be used when the antecedent of the elided node is in another sentence. The artificial ROOT node is now allowed to have more than one child, but only if all are attached via composite relations, starting with root>
.
Mary wants to buy a book . ROOT And Jenny a CD .
nsubj(wants-2, Mary-1)
xcomp(wants-2, buy-4)
obj(buy-4, book-6)
root>nsubj(ROOT, Jenny)
root>xcomp>obj(ROOT, CD)
Predicate ellipis 2: orphan instead of remnant (approved variant)
The second alternative preserves the integrity of the second conjunct as a single subtree by (arbitrarily) promoting one of the orphans to the (subclause) root and attaching the others with a new dummy relation orphan
. Here are the same examples annotated according to this alternative:
I like tea and you coffee .
nsubj(like-2, I-1)
obj(like-2, tea-3)
conj(like-2, you-5)
cc(you-5, and-4)
orphan(you-5, coffee-6)
Mary wants to buy a book and Jenny a CD .
nsubj(wants-2, Mary-1)
xcomp(wants-2, buy-4)
obj(buy-4, book-6)
conj(wants-2, Jenny-8)
orphan(Jenny-8, CD-10)
They had left the company , many for good .
nsubj(left, They)
obj(left, company)
conj(left, many)
orphan(many, good)
Mary wants to buy a book . ROOT And Jenny a CD .
nsubj(wants-2, Mary-1)
xcomp(wants-2, buy-4)
obj(buy-4, book-6)
root(ROOT, Jenny)
orphan(Jenny, CD)
Note that the orphan
relation is only used when an ordinary relation would be misleading (for example, when attaching an object to a subject). In particular, the ordinary cc
relation should be used for the coordinating conjunction, which attaches to the pseudo-constituent formed through the orphan
dependency.
All things considered, alternative 2 was judged to be the best analysis because it preserves the integrity of clauses, avoids the introduction of complex labels, and harmonizes well with the promotion analysis used for simpler cases of ellipsis.
Predicate ellipsis in Enhanced UD v2
While we hold on to the principle that basic UD trees have to be strict surface syntax trees, we propose to relax this requirement in the enhanced representation and to allow special null nodes for sentences with elided predicates. These nodes have special word indices of the form Ea.b, where a is the index of the token that would precede the elided word and b is a counter. (See also the description of the changes to the CoNLL-U file format.) Whenever the basic representation contains an instance of the orphan
relation, the enhanced representation contains additional null nodes so that all orphans can be attached to their real (ellided) parent.
For example, the sentences from the previous section are analyzed as following in the enhanced representation. (The special null nodes are labelled with Ea.b .)
I like tea and you E5.1 coffee .
nsubj(like-2, I-1)
obj(like-2, tea-3)
nsubj(E5.1-6, you-5)
conj(like-2, E5.1-6)
obj(E5.1-6, coffee-7)
Mary wants to buy a book and Jenny E8.1 E8.2 a CD .
nsubj(wants-2, Mary-1)
xcomp(wants-2, buy-4)
obj(buy-4, book-6)
conj(wants-2, E8.1-9)
nsubj(E8.1-9, Jenny-8)
xcomp(E8.1-9, E8.2-10)
obj(E8.2-10, CD-12)
They had left the company , many E7.1 for good .
nsubj(left, They)
obj(left, company)
conj(left, E7.1)
nsubj(E7.1, many)
nmod(E7.1, good)
In the first example, the node E5.1 is added for the elided predicate like. In the second example, we add one node for the elided matrix verb wants (E8.1) and one node for the elided embedded verb buy (E8.2). As the elided marker to does not have any dependents, we do not add a null node for it.

Key combos are zero or more modifiers (ctrl
,
shift
,
etc.) plus one regular key (letter keys, number keys, arrow
keys, etc), all joined with +
signs.
You can also string combos together to create key sequences, separated by spaces.
Here are a couple examples:
t
ctrl+l
(hold ctrl and hit l)t g
(hit t then g)shift+h
ctrl+shift+⇑+pageup
alt+f7 r
(hold alt and hit F7, release, then
hit r)
The following modifiers are available:
⇑

control
, command
, and
⌘
.
In addition to regular letters, numbers, and punctuation, the
following special keys can be used for shortcuts:
backspace
, tab

enter
, return
, esc
,
escape
, space
,
up
, down
, left
,
right
,
home
, end
, pageup
,
pagedown
,
del
, delete
and f1
through f19
.
Note: key combos are ignored if you're currently focused on a
form field. This makes it possible to have shortcuts such as
"h
" but still be able to type "h
" in a
form without it triggering the shortcut.

The senior project is the culminating experience of a student’s major in data science and draws upon everything the student has learned over the course of their studies. The project itself is a means to an end and not the ultimate goal of the capstone experience. Sufficiently interesting and complex projects rely on an abundance of existing research and fundamental principles of data science. The project is, from this perspective, a concrete instantiation of these ideas and principles. By carrying out the project and presenting their work to technical and non-technical audiences students can demonstrate their understanding and mastery of some core element of the data sciences as it appears in the real world context of their project.
Students are ultimately working towards pinpointing general, abstract, or theoretical concepts that support their project and clearly articulating how their work is a specific instance of these concepts. An important part of this process is the identification of seminal scholarly work that addresses the concept and its applications. Students too often attempt to reinvent the wheel in the course of their capstone work. Occasionally they’re unaware that the wheel already exists. The emphasis on fundamentals is about identifying the wheels, the documents that lay out the general principles of those wheels, and focusing on applying those principles to the specific needs of the project. In doing so the student will better understand where their work sits in the broad spectrum of data and can present it as such.
DATA 402 is focused on the implementation of the plans proposed by the student in DATA 401 and the identification of the concrete instantiation of fundamental principles of data science at play within the various facets of the project. Each student in the class will give checkpoint presentations on a semiregular basis in order to receive feedback from peers and faculty regarding the current state of student projects and their understanding of the project’s underlying fundamentals. Towards the end of the semester, students will use their project as the basis for a Scholar’s Day poster and accompanying presentation.
Students in this course are expected to be respectful of their peers and the instructor. As this course is comprised entirely of student presentations, it is crucial that all students are always present and always on time. Failure to arrive on time and be a productive member of the course will have a detrimental effect on the final grade and leaves a bad impression with faculty that are likely targets for job and graduate school recommendations.
The following elements of DATA 401 contribute to the overall capstone grade:
The class will meet for regular project checkpoints. At these checkpoints each student will give a 5–7 minute presentation that covers:
It is important to note that the bulk of each presentation is dedicated to the presentation of data science fundamentals as they appear in the project. The goal is to get accustomed to presenting the project in the context of a larger issue in as opposed to simply presenting the project.
By the midpoint of the semester students will have identified at least one fundamental principle that acts as a cornerstone of their project. One of these principles will become the subject of the Scholar’s Day poster. It is important that students understand that the project is not the subject of the poster but the vehicle by which the actual subject is presented.
The poster is to be done in the standard scientific research style. The CSB is ripe with examples of this kind of poster. Students will begin submitting drafts of their posters beginning shortly after midterm, and the final posters will be presented as a part of the Scholar’s Day poster session.
The final presentation will be a 7–-10 minute self-evaluation and debrief about your capstone experience. During this time you should briefly discuss the final state of your project, what you think went well this semester, what could have gone better, and what advice you might have for current and future 401/402 students as they begin working on their project.
By the end of the semester each student must have a completed project. It may not entail everything proposed in DATA 401 but it should be complete by some measurable sense of the word. For example, it may be a rough prototype of the proposed project or lack some of the originally proposed features, but still carries out some clearly identifiable part of the project as proposed. What is important is that it stands on its own and that the student presents it as such. Too often students lament the features they didn’t get to and overemphasize what the project might have been as opposed to what it finally ended up being.
The final version of the project must be submitted to the instructors by Scholar’s Day. In addition, students must find a means of making their work publicly available. Standard paths to this include, but are not limited to:
The exact means by which projects are made publicly accessible must be approved by the instructors ahead of time. Projects must be publicly accessible by Scholar’s Day.
The poster and presentation are in-depth demonstrations of the students ability to connect their work to a singular larger issues in data science. This bibliography is a demonstration of the student’s ability to continue this practice across a broader range of issues as they relate to their the project. Over the course of DATA 401 and DATA 402 students should have accumulated several key texts related to the foundational data science that underlies their project. The project bibliography should list and cite all of these sources. Some of these will be cited on the poster and presentation, some will not. Multifaceted projects will rely on many different ideas and should thereby have a lengthier bibliography. More constrained projects might have shorter bibliographies as a reflection of their narrower focus. Either way, the bibliography should accurately reflect the breadth and scope of the project.
At the completion of this course, the grade for both DATA 401 and DATA 402 is determined. Students will typically receive the same grade in both courses to reflect the work throughout the capstone project and not in one individual phase of the project. Grades will be determined based on the following items:
The following examples provide an idea of what we are looking for in the above items. These are rough guidelines only! Assessment can vary considerably depending on the project.
The weekly workload for this course will vary by student but on average should be about 5–7 hours per week. Since class meetings are only scheduled for 1 hour a week, we expect students to dedicate at least 4–6 hours a week towards the development of their project proposal and implementation. This time can include research, coding, writing, meeting with professors, and so forth. Being a capstone project, it is likely that your weekly work will occasionally exceed the expected amount – everything takes longer than you think!
Checkpoint presentations will occur on roughly a weekly basis. Unless otherwise specified, the topics listed below are the topics of checkpoint presentations. These topics correspond to some or all of sections of the final proposal. This calendar is subject to change based on the circumstances of the course.

The Aes Sedai appeared to know what Loial meant, but she said nothing. Loial peered at the floor, rubbing under his nose with a thick finger, as if he was abashed by his outburst. No one wanted to speak.
“Why?” Rand asked at last. “Why would we die? What are the Ways?”
Loial glanced at Moiraine.   She rubbed behind its ears with one finger. The cat’s purring was a strange counterpoint to the Aes Sedai’s level voice. “It is your knowledge, Loial. The Ways are the only path to safety for us, the only path to forestalling the Dark One, if only for a time, but the telling is yours.”
The Ogier did not appear comforted by her speech. He shifted awkwardly on his chair before beginning. “During the Time of Madness, while the world was still being broken, the earth was in upheaval, and humankind was being scattered like dust on the wind. We Ogier were scattered, too, driven from the stedding, into the Exile and the Long Wandering, when the Longing was graven on our hearts.” He gave Moiraine another sidelong look. His long eyebrows drew down into two points. “I will try to be brief, but this is not a thing that can be told too briefly. It is of the others I must speak, now, those few Ogier who held in their stedding while around them the world was tearing apart. And of the Aes Sedai”—he avoided looking at Moiraine, now—“the male Aes Sedai who were dying even as they destroyed the world in their madness. It was to those Aes Sedai—those who had so far managed to avoid the madness—that the stedding first made the offer of sanctuary. Many accepted, for in the stedding they were protected from the taint of the Dark One that was killing their kind. But they were cut off from the True Source. It was not just that they could not wield the One Power, or touch the Source; they could no longer even sense that the Source existed. In the end, none could accept that isolation, and one by one they left the stedding, hoping that by that time the taint was gone. It never was.”
“Some in Tar Valon,” Moiraine said quietly, “claim that Ogier sanctuary prolonged the Breaking and made it worse. Others say that if all of those men had been allowed to go mad at once, there would have been nothing left of the world. I am of the Blue Ajah, Loial; unlike the Red Ajah, we hold to the second view. Sanctuary helped to save what could be saved. Continue, please.”
Loial nodded gratefully. Relieved of a concern, Rand realized.
“As I was saying,” the Ogier went on, “the Aes Sedai, the male Sedai, left. But before they went, they gave a gift to the Ogier in thanks for our sanctuary. The Ways. Enter a Waygate, walk for a day, and you may depart through another Waygate a hundred miles from where you started. Or five hundred. Time and distance are strange in the Ways. Different paths, different bridges, lead to different places, and how long it takes to get there depends on which path you take. It was a marvelous gift, made more so by the times, for the Ways are not part of the world we see around us, nor perhaps of any world outside themselves. Not only did the Ogier so gifted not have to travel through the world, where even after the Breaking men fought like animals to live, in order to reach another stedding, but within the Ways there was no Breaking. The land between two stedding might split open into deep canyons or rise in mountain ranges, but in the Way between them there was no change.
“When the last Aes Sedai left the stedding, they gave to the Elders a key, a talisman, that could be used for growing more. They are a living thing in some fashion, the Ways and the Waygates. I do not understand it; no Ogier ever has, and even the Aes Sedai have forgotten, I am told. Over the years the Exile ended for us. As those Ogier who had been gifted by the Aes Sedai found a stedding where Ogier had returned from the Long Wandering, they grew a Way to it. With the stonework we learned during the Exile, we built cities for men, and planted the groves to comfort the Ogier who did the building, so the Longing would not overcome them. To those groves Ways were grown. There was a grove, and a Waygate, at Mafal Dadaranell, but that city was razed during the Trolloc Wars, no stone left standing on another, and the grove was chopped down and burned for Trolloc fires.” He left no doubt which had been the greater crime.
“Waygates are all but impossible to destroy,” Moiraine said, “and humankind not much less so. There are people at Fal Dara still, though not the great city the Ogier built, and the Waygate yet stands.”
“How did they make them?” Egwene asked. Her puzzled look took in Moiraine and Loial both. “The Aes Sedai, the men. If they couldn’t use the One Power in a stedding, how could they make the Ways? Or did they use the Power at all? Their part of the True Source was tainted. Is tainted. I don’t know much about what Aes Sedai can do, yet. Maybe it’s a silly question.”
Loial explained. “Each stedding has a Waygate on its border, but outside. Your question is not silly. You’ve found the seed of why we do not dare travel the Ways. No Ogier has used the Ways in my lifetime, and before. By edict of the Elders, all the Elders of all the stedding, none may, human or Ogier.
“The Ways were made by men wielding Power fouled by the Dark One. About a thousand years ago, during what you humans call the War of the Hundred Years, the Ways began to change. So slowly in the beginning that none really noticed, they grew dank and dim. Then darkness fell along the bridges. Some who went in were never seen again. Travelers spoke of being watched from the dark. The numbers who vanished grew, and some who came out had gone mad, raving about Machin Shin, the Black Wind. Aes Sedai Healers could aid some, but even with Aes Sedai help they were never the same. And they never remembered anything of what had occurred. Yet it was as if the darkness had sunken into their bones. They never laughed again, and they feared the sound of the wind.”
For a moment there was silence but for the cat purring beside Moiraine’s chair, and the snap and crackle of the fire, popping out sparks. Then Nynaeve burst out angrily, “And you expect us to follow you into that? You must be mad!”
“Which would you choose instead?” Moiraine asked quietly. “The Whitecloaks within Caemlyn, or the Trollocs without? Remember that my presence in itself gives some protection from the Dark One’s works.”
Nynaeve settled back with an exasperated sigh.
“You still have not explained to me,” Loial said, “why I should break the edict of the Elders. And I have no desire to enter the Ways. Muddy as they often are, the roads men make have served me well enough since I left Stedding Shangtai.”
“Humankind and Ogier, everything that lives, we are at war with the Dark One,” Moiraine said. “The greater part of the world does not even know it yet, and most of the few who do fight skirmishes and believe they are battles. While the world refuses to believe, the Dark One may be at the brink of victory. There is enough power in the Eye of the World to undo his prison. If the Dark One has found some way to bend the Eye of the World to his use . . . ”
Rand wished the lamps in the room were lit. Evening was creeping over Caemlyn, and the fire in the fireplace did not give enough light. He wanted no shadows in the room.
“What can we do?” Mat burst out. “Why are we so important? Why do we have to go to the Blight? The Blight!”
Moiraine did not raise her voice, but it filled the room, compelling. Her chair by the fire suddenly seemed like a throne. Suddenly even Morgase would have paled in her presence. “One thing we can do. We can try. What seems like chance is often the Pattern. Three threads have come together here, each giving a warning: the Eye. It cannot be chance; it is the Pattern. You three did not choose; you were chosen by the Pattern. And you are here, where the danger is known. You can step aside, and perhaps doom the world. Running, hiding, will not save you from the weaving of the Pattern. Or you can try. You can go to the Eye of the World, three ta’veren, three centerpoints of the Web, placed where the danger lies. Let the Pattern be woven around you there, and you may save the world from the Shadow. The choice is yours. I cannot make you go.”
“I’ll go,” Rand said, trying to sound resolute. However hard he sought the void, images kept flashing through his head. Tam, and the farmhouse, and the flock in the pasture. It had been a good life; he had never really wanted anything more. There was comfort—a small comfort—hearing Perrin and Mat add their agreement to his. They sounded as dry-mouthed as he.
“I suppose there isn’t any choice for Egwene or me, either,” Nynaeve said.
Moiraine nodded. “You are part of the Pattern, too, both of you, in some fashion. Perhaps not ta’veren—perhaps—but strong even so. I have known it since Baerlon. And no doubt by this time the Fades know it, too. And Ba’alzamon. Yet you have as much choice as the young men. You could remain here, proceed to Tar Valon once the rest of us have gone.”
“Stay behind!” Egwene exclaimed. “Let the rest of you go off into danger while we hide under the covers? I won’t do it!” She caught the Aes Sedai’s eye and drew back a little, but not all of her defiance vanished. “I won’t do it,” she muttered stubbornly.
“I suppose that means both of us will accompany you.” Nynaeve sounded resigned, but her eyes flashed when she added, “You still need my herbs, Aes Sedai, unless you’ve suddenly gained some ability I don’t know about.” Her voice held a challenge Rand did not understand, but Moiraine merely nodded and turned to the Ogier.

 “Yes, well. The Green Man. The Eye of the World. They’re mentioned in the books, of course, but I don’t think any Ogier has actually seen them in, oh, quite a long time. I suppose . . . But must it be the Ways?” Moiraine nodded, and his long eyebrows sagged till the ends brushed his cheeks. “Very well, then. I suppose I must guide you. Elder Haman would say it’s no less than I deserve for being so hasty all the time.”
“Our choices are made, then,” Moiraine said. “And now that they are made, we must decide what to do about them, and how.”
Long into the night they planned. Moiraine did most of it, with Loial’s advice concerning the Ways, but she listened to questions and suggestions from everyone. Once dark fell Lan joined them, adding his comments in that iron-cored drawl. Nynaeve made a list of what supplies they needed, dipping her pen in the inkwell with a steady hand despite the way she kept muttering under her breath.
Rand wished he could be as matter-of-fact as the Wisdom. He could not stop pacing up and down, as if he had energy to burn or burst from it. He knew his decision was made, knew it was the only one he could make with the knowledge he had, but that did not make him like it. The Blight. Shayol Ghul was somewhere in the Blight, beyond the Blasted Lands.
He could see the same worry in Mat’s eyes, the same fear he knew was in his own. Mat sat with his hands clasped, knuckles white. If he let go, Rand thought, he would be clutching the dagger from Shadar Logoth instead.
There was no worry on Perrin’s face at all, but what was there was worse: a mask of weary resignation. Perrin looked as though he had fought something until he could fight it no longer and was waiting for it to finish him. Yet sometimes . . .
“We do what we must, Rand,” he said. “The Blight . . . ” For an instant those yellow eyes lit with eagerness, flashing in the fixed tiredness of his face, as if they had a life of their own apart from the big blacksmith’s apprentice. “There’s good hunting along the Blight,” he whispered. Then he shuddered, as if he had just heard what he had said, and once more his face was resigned.
And Egwene. Rand drew her apart at one point, over by the fireplace where those planning around the table could not hear. “Egwene, I . . . ” Her eyes, like big dark pools drawing him in, made him stop and swallow. “It’s me the Dark One’s after, Egwene. Me, and Mat, and Perrin. I don’t care what Moiraine Sedai says. In the morning you and Nynaeve could start for home, or Tar Valon, or anywhere you want to go, and nobody will try to stop you. Not the Trollocs, not the Fades, not anybody. As long as you aren’t with us. Go home, Egwene. Or go to Tar Valon. But go.”
 To his surprise, she smiled and touched his cheek.
“Thank you, Rand,” she said softly. He blinked, and closed his mouth as she went on. “You know I can’t, though. Moiraine Sedai told us what Min saw, in Baerlon. You should have told me who Min was. I thought . . . Well, Min says I am part of this, too. And Nynaeve. Maybe I’m not ta’veren,” she stumbled over the word, “but the Pattern sends me to the Eye of the World, too, it seems. Whatever involves you, involves me.”
“But, Egwene—”
“Who is Elayne?”
For a minute he stared at her, then told the simple truth. “She’s the Daughter-Heir to the throne of Andor.”
Her eyes seemed to catch fire. “If you can’t be serious for more than a minute, Rand al’Thor, I do not want to talk to you.”
Incredulous, he watched her stiff back return to the table, where she leaned on her elbows next to Moiraine to listen to what the Warder was saying. I need to talk to Perrin, he thought. He knows how to deal with women.
Master Gill entered several times, first to light the lamps, then to bring food with his own hands, and later to report on what was happening outside. Whitecloaks were watching the inn from down the street in both directions. There had been a riot at the gates to the Inner City, with the Queen’s Guards arresting white cockades and red alike. Someone had tried to scratch the Dragon’s Fang on the front door and been sent on his way by Lamgwin’s boot.
If the innkeeper found it odd that Loial was with them, he gave no sign of it. He answered the few questions Moiraine put to him without trying to discover what they were planning, and each time he came he knocked at the door and waited till Lan opened it for him, just as if it were not his inn and his library. On his last visit, Moiraine gave him the sheet of parchment covered in Nynaeve’s neat hand.
“It won’t be easy this time of night,” he said, shaking his head as he perused the list, “but I’ll arrange it all.”
Moiraine added a small wash-leather bag that clinked as she handed it to him by the drawstrings. “Good. And see that we are wakened before daybreak. The watchers will be at their least alert, then.”
“We’ll leave them watching an empty box, Aes Sedai.” Master Gill grinned.
Rand was yawning by the time he shuffled out of the room with the rest in search of baths and beds. As he scrubbed himself, with a coarse cloth in one hand and a big yellow cake of soap in the other, his eyes drifted to the stool beside Mat’s tub. The golden-sheathed tip of the dagger from Shadar Logoth peeked from under the edge of Mat’s neatly folded coat. Lan glanced at it from time to time, too. Rand wondered if it was really as safe to have around as Moiraine claimed.
“Do you think my da’ll ever believe it?” Mat laughed, scrubbing his back with a long-handled brush. “Me, saving the world? My sisters won’t know whether to laugh or cry.”
He sounded like the old Mat. Rand wished he could forget the dagger.
It was pitch-black when he and Mat finally got up to their room under the eaves, the stars obscured by clouds. For the first time in a long while Mat undressed before getting into bed, but he casually tucked the dagger under his pillow, too. Rand blew out the candle and crawled into his own bed. He could feel the wrongness from the other bed, not from Mat, but from beneath his pillow. He was still worrying about it when sleep came.
From the first he knew it was a dream, one of those dreams that was not entirely dream. He stood staring at the wooden door, its surface dark and cracked and rough with splinters. The air was cold and dank, thick with the smell of decay. In the distance water dripped, the splashes hollow echoes down stone corridors.
Deny it. Deny him, and his power fails.
He closed his eyes and concentrated on The Queen’s Blessing, on his bed, on himself asleep in his bed. When he opened his eyes the door was still there. The echoing splashes came on his heartbeat, as if his pulse counted time for them. He sought the flame and the void, as Tam had taught him, and found inner calm, but nothing outside of him changed. Slowly he opened the door and went in.
Everything was as he remembered it in the room that seemed burned out of the living rock. Tall, arched windows led onto an unrailed balcony, and beyond it the layered clouds streamed like a river in flood.  The fire roared but gave no heat in the fearsome fireplace, each stone still vaguely like a face in torment.
All was the same, but one thing was different. On the polished tabletop stood three small figures, the rough, featureless shapes of men, as if the sculptor had been hasty with his clay. Beside one stood a wolf, its clear detail emphasized by the crudeness of the man-shape, and another clutched a tiny dagger, a point of red on the hilt glittering in the light. The last held a sword. The hair stirring on the back of his neck, he moved close enough to see the heron in exquisite detail on that small blade.
His head jerked up in panic, and he stared directly into the lone mirror. His reflection was still a blur, but not so misty as before. He could almost make out his own features. If he imagined he was squinting, he could nearly tell who it was.
“You’ve hidden from me too long.”
He whirled from the table, breath rasping his throat. A moment before he had been alone, but now Ba’alzamon stood before the windows. When he spoke caverns of flame replaced his eyes and mouth.
“Too long, but not much longer.”
“I deny you,” Rand said hoarsely. “I deny that you hold any power over me. I deny that you are.”
Ba’alzamon laughed, a rich sound rolling from fire. “Do you think it is that easy? But then, you always did. Each time we have stood like this, you have thought you could defy me.”
“What do mean, each time? I deny you!”
“You always do. In the beginning. This contest between us has taken place countless times before. Each time your face is different, and your name, but each time it is you.”
“I deny you.” It was a desperate whisper.
“Each time you throw your puny strength against me, and each time, in the end, you know which of us is the master. Age after Age, you kneel to me, or die wishing you still had strength to kneel. Poor fool, you can never win against me.”
“Liar!” he shouted. “Father of Lies. Father of Fools if you can’t do better than that. Men found you in the last Age, in the Age of Legends, and bound you back where you belong.”
Ba’alzamon laughed again, peal after mocking peal, until Rand wanted to cover his ears to shut it out. He forced his hands to stay at his sides. Void or no, they were trembling when the laughter finally stopped.
“You worm, you know nothing at all. As ignorant as a beetle under a rock, and as easily crushed. This struggle has gone on since the moment of creation. Always men think it a new war, but it is just the same war discovered anew. Only now change blows on the winds of time. Change. This time there will be no drifting back.  I will dress them in chains and send them running naked to do my bidding, or stuff their souls into the Pit of Doom to scream for eternity. All but those who already serve me. They will stand but a step beneath me. You can choose to stand with them, with the world groveling at your feet. I offer it one more time, one last time. You can stand above them, above every power and dominion but mine. There have been times when you made that choice, times when you lived long enough to know your power.”
Deny him! Rand grabbed hold to what he could deny. “No Aes Sedai serve you. Another lie!”
“Is that what they told you? Two thousand years ago I took my Trollocs across the world, and even among Aes Sedai I found those who knew despair, who knew the world could not stand before Shai’tan. For two thousand years the Black Ajah has dwelt among the others, unseen in the shadows. Perhaps even those who claim to help you.”
Rand shook his head, trying to shake away the doubts that came welling up in him, all the doubts he had had about Moiraine, about what the Aes Sedai wanted with him, about what she planned for him. “What do you want from me?” he cried. Deny him! Light help me deny him!
“Kneel!” Ba’alzamon pointed to the floor at his feet. “Kneel, and acknowledge me your master! In the end, you will. You will be my creature, or you will die.”
The last word echoed through the room, reverberating back on itself, doubling and redoubling, till Rand threw up his arms as if to shield his head from a blow. Staggering back until he thumped into the table, he shouted, trying to drown the sound in his ears. “Noooooooooooo!”
As he cried out, he spun, sweeping the figures to the floor. Something stabbed his hand, but he ignored it, stomping the clay to shapeless smears underfoot. But when his shout failed, the echo was still there, and growing stronger:
die-die-die-die-die-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE
The sound pulled on him like a whirlpool, drawing him in, ripping the void in his mind to shreds. The light dimmed, and his vision narrowed down to a tunnel with Ba’alzamon standing tall in the last spot of brightness at the end, dwindling until it was the size of his hand, a fingernail, nothing. Around and around the echo whirled him, down into blackness and death.
The thump as he hit the floor woke him, still struggling to swim up out of that darkness. The room was dark, but not so dark as that. Frantically he tried to center on the flame, to shovel fear into it, but the calm of the void eluded him. Tremors ran down his arms and legs, but he held the image of the single flame until the blood stopped pounding in his ears.
 ” It faded off into unintelligible moans.
Rand reached out to shake him awake, and at the first touch Mat sat up with a strangled grunt. For a minute Mat stared around wildly, then drew a long, shuddering breath and dropped his head into his hands. Abruptly he twisted around, digging under his pillow, then sank back clutching the ruby-hilted dagger in both hands on his chest. He turned his head to look at Rand, his face hidden in shadow. “He’s back, Rand.”
“I know.”
Mat nodded. “There were these three figures . . . ”
“I saw them, too.”
“He knows who I am, Rand.  And when I looked again, the figure had my face. My face, Rand! It looked like flesh. It felt like flesh. Light help me, I could feel my own hand gripping me, like I was the figure.”
Rand was silent for a moment. “You have to keep denying him, Mat.”
“I did, and he laughed. He kept talking about some eternal war, and saying we’d met like that a thousand times before, and . . . Light, Rand, the Dark One knows me.”
“He said the same thing to me. I don’t think he does,” he added slowly.  ” Which of us what?
As he levered himself up, pain stabbed his hand. Making his way to the table, he managed to get the candle lit after three tries, then spread his hand open in the light. Driven into his palm was a thick splinter of dark wood, smooth and polished on one side. He stared at it, not breathing. Abruptly he was panting, plucking at the splinter, fumbling with haste.
“What’s the matter?” Mat asked.
“Nothing.”
Finally he had it, and a sharp yank pulled it free. With a grunt of disgust he dropped it, but the grunt froze in his throat. As soon as the splinter left his fingers, it vanished.
The wound was still there in his hand, though, bleeding. There was water in the stoneware pitcher. He filled the basin, his hands shaking so that he splashed water onto the table. Hurriedly he washed his hands, kneading his palm till his thumb brought more blood, then washed them again. The thought of the smallest sliver remaining in his flesh terrified him.
“Light,” Mat said, “he made me feel dirty, too.” But he still lay where he was, holding the dagger in both hands.
“Yes,” Rand said. “Dirty.” He fumbled a towel from the stack beside the basin. There was a knock at the door, and he jumped. It came again. “Yes?” he said.
Moiraine put her head into the room. “You are awake already. Good. Dress quickly and come down. We must be away before first light.”
“Now?” Mat groaned. “We haven’t had an hour’s sleep yet.”
“An hour?” she said. “You have had four. Now hurry, we do not have much time.”
Rand shared a confused look with Mat. He could remember every second of the dream clearly. It had begun as soon as he closed his eyes, and lasted only minutes.
Something in that exchange must have communicated itself to Moiraine. She gave them a penetrating look and came all the way in. “What has happened? The dreams?”
“He knows who I am,” Mat said. “The Dark One knows my face.”
Rand held up his hand wordlessly, palm toward her. Even in the shadowed light from the one candle the blood was plain.
The Aes Sedai stepped forward and grasped his upheld hand, her thumb across his palm covering the wound. Cold pierced him to the bone, so chill that his fingers cramped and he had to fight to keep them open. When she took her fingers away, the chill went, too.
He turned his hand, then, stunned, scrubbed the thin smear of blood away. The wound was gone. Slowly he raised his eyes to meet those of the Aes Sedai.
“Hurry,” she said softly. “Time grows very short.”
He knew she was not speaking of the time for their leaving anymore.

That really depends on the modifications. We do not want to put any hacks
and workarounds into the code just to support gcc 3.3. If it is clean
standard C++ and doesn't look uglier than what we have now, please tell us
how you did it ;-)
Otherwise, if it's something that will need a comment in the code à la "we
shouldn't be doing it this way but gcc 3.3 forces us", we do not want to
support it. We already have to test every check-in with a bunch of
different compilers on different operating systems, so maintaining another
one that is even outdated is beyond our manpower.
Cheers,
Guido

Chapter 2 The magic of the central limit theorem:
2.1 Sampling, sampling, sampling…
As scientists we aim to understand the world around us, not just our immediate environments. In most cases, we don’t have access to populations, for one, because they are… large. For example, if you’re studying expectant mothers, it is virtually impossible to collect data from all of the expectant mothers from around the world. Therefore, we make do with random and representative samples of the population to make generalizations – that is, statements – about the population as a whole.
The central limit theorem (CLT) states that the larger the sample size collected, the closer the distribution of the sample means will resemble a normal distribution (bell curve), regardless of the population’s distribution. If you were asleep during your stats class or need a refresher, Khan Academy gives a good introduction to CLT.
It’s useful to re-read the statement above, because we’re not saying that we’re assuming that the observations (e.g., one sample of with \(100\)) originate from a normal distribution. We’re saying that the distribution of sample means (based on taking the mean of many separate samples that originate from the “parent” distribution) will be normally distributed. That is, provided your sample size is “large enough.” The theorem works “in the limit”, as mathematicians say, but a general rule is that the sample size should be at least \(30\) for the CLT to hold for almost any data distribution. And, in practice, it will work on smaller samples if they originate from a population that actually has a normal distribution.
Let’s refresh ourselves with a few terms. Variance refers to the amount of variability, or how spread the data are from the mean. The population variance is symbolized as sigma squared, or \(\sigma^{2}\). Because variance is a squared term, we tend to look at the square root of variance, or standard deviation, and the population standard deviation is symbolized as \(\sigma\), or sigma.
We know that as the size of the sample increases, the closer the sampling distribution of the sample mean will resemble a bell curve with a mean that approaches the population mean, \(\mu\). How about the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample means? As the sample size increases, the CLT says that the standard deviation will approach \(\frac{\mathbf{\sigma}}{\sqrt{n}}\). Again, this results holds despite the shape of the population distribution.
A good source of intuitive discussion on the central limit theorem is Mordkoff, J.T. (2016) The Assumption(s) of Normality.

NOTE: Bootstrap 4 already has it's own spacing library and you should use it instead. You can find it here.
This is a Spacing CSS build specifically for Bootstrap 4
In the Bootstrap build, spacing classes are almost the same as the regular build - but the media queries have been changed.
The Bootstrap 4 build uses Bootstrap 4 default media queries. This means Spacing CSS will work out of the box with the Bootstrap grid system.
sm - min-width: 576px
md - min-width: 768px
lg - min-width: 992px
xl - min-width: 1200px
This will apply a top padding of 1rem on medium screens and above. On small screens the column will become full width and the padding will be removed.

Hi. I'm Jason.
As the Head of Library Informatics & Computing, I build and direct the digital branch of the Montana State University (MSU) Library. In my work, I have focused on semantic web development, digital library development, metadata and data modeling, web services and APIs, search engine optimization, and interface design.
Before coming to MSU, I became interested in the intersection between libraries and technology while working as a web developer for the Division of Information Technology at the University of Wisconsin. After two years, I moved on to work as the web services librarian at Williams College Libraries.
I really enjoy teaching and speaking about what I do. I try to publish my thoughts whenever I can and have even written some books.
When I don't have metadata on the brain, I like to hike the mountains of Montana with my wife, our daughter, and our furry family member.

Spatial Precipitation Downscaling is one of the most important problems in the geo-science community. However, it still remains an unaddressed issue. Deep learning is a promising potential solution for downscaling. In order to facilitate the research on precipitation downscaling for deep learning, we present the first REAL (non-simulated) Large-Scale Spatial Precipitation Downscaling Dataset, RainNet, which contains 62,424 pairs of low-resolution and high-resolution precipitation maps for 17 years. Contrary to simulated data, this real dataset covers various types of real meteorological phenomena (e.g., Hurricane, Squall, etc.), and shows the physical characters -- Temporal Misalignment, Temporal Sparse and Fluid Properties -- that challenge the downscaling algorithms. In order to fully explore potential downscaling solutions, we propose an implicit physical estimation framework to learn the above characteristics. Eight metrics specifically considering the physical property of the data set are raised, while fourteen models are evaluated on the proposed dataset. Finally, we analyze the effectiveness and feasibility of these models on precipitation downscaling task.
Please concat Kairui Feng<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Xuanhong Chen<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Naiyuan Liu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and Yifan Lu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for questions about the dataset.


Review by Lars Lindahl<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"King Gimp" (1999)
Grade: A
Directed by Susan Hannah Hadary and William A. Whiteford
"Most people think 'gimp' means someone with a lame walk. But 'gimp' also means a 'fighting spirit.'"
And Dan Keplinger easily fits that role. His determination, courage, and strength won filmmakers Susan Hannah Hadary and William A. Whiteford Academy Awards for Best Documentary Short and won the hearts of millions of viewers according to the voluminous message board on the official HBO site. King Gimp is thirteen-years-condensed-to-forty-minutes in the life of Keplinger, a passionate and intent student who has suffered from cerebral palsy since birth. Formerly unable to write his name on a piece of paper, Keplinger miraculously builds the patience and skill levels to paint (using a paint brush attached to a helmet on his head) elaborate pictures that impress initial skeptics. Developing adversity and friendships along the way, Keplinger fights to become a professional artist.
A feel-good film minus Robin Williams and a thunderously cliched score, King Gimp boldly uses Keplinger as narrator. Mainly from him typing on a keyboard, his words surpass your everyday monotonous voice-over. Sporadically discussing love, life, and the pursuit of happiness, this documentary depends on its visuals to consume its audience - and each frame is as hypnotizing as the next. Every time Keplinger's motivated eyes look into the camera, the word 'king' immediately comes to mind.
As a supplement to the film, visit www.hbo.com/kinggimp for a better understanding of cerebral palsy, how amazing his artwork his, how insightful his words are, and how inspirational his story is.

5 things we noticed from Arsenal training as Unai Emery keeps an eye on Granit Xhaka
Arsenal take on Vitoria in the Europa League on Wednesday night and Granit Xhaka could return to action
by Jake Polden, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/jake-polden/Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka was all smiles in training on Tuesday ahead of the Gunners' Europa League clash with Vitoria.
The Swiss has missed the Gunners' past two fixtures following a spat with the Arsenal fans, but could make a return for the group game in Portugal.
Arsenal were meant to play Vitoria on Thursday but the game has been pushed forward a day to accommodate Portuguese authorities and to minimise traffic.
Braga host Besiktas at the Municipal Stadium on Thursday, and by moving the Arsenal game it is hoped the two matches will pass without incident.
Ahead of the game Arsenal hit their London Colney training ground. Here's what we noticed.
1. Keeping his chin up
It's been a tough couple of weeks for Xhaka.
During Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace he was booed off the pitch and reacted badly by cupping his ears, swearing at supporters and storming off down the tunnel.
Emery later revealed that his skipper was "devastated" by the incident, and he reportedly even had team-mates visit him at home to offer him comfort.
Xhaka kept his cards close to his chest in the following days, despite his manager suggesting he should apologise to the fans for his outburst.
But he later released a statement explaining what lead to the situation, and called for unity.
It seems - judging by Tuesday's training pictures - that Xhaka is doing his best to keep his chin up and move on from the unfortunate situation.
2. Under Emery's watchful eye
Emery appeared to keep a close eye on Xhaka during Tuesday's training session.
The midfielder looked to be back to his best, but the boss was certainly monitoring him, especially as he left him out against Wolves because he wasn't 'in the right frame of mind'.
Emery has a big decision to make now regarding his captain, and that's whether he allows him to keep the armband or not.
The captaincy is a bigger deal in the UK than it is on the continent - which is why Emery let his players vote for who they thought deserved it - and the current situation is one that needs to be worked out soon.
Does Emery let Xhaka keep the armband and risk further isolating a section of fans already on his back, or does he take it off him and risk losing the dressing room?
3. Ready to make a comeback
As aforesaid, Emery left Xhaka out against Wolves because his focus was elsewhere.
But it seems the dust has settled enough now for the Arsenal boss to consider returning him to the first team set-up.
And this Wednesday's Europa League clash appears to be the perfect time to re-introduce Xhaka to the Arsenal fans.
Arsenal are on the road, and out of the country in a less-pressured game than away at high-flying Leicester City this weekend.
The match will pass under the radar - or at least more so than Saturday's fixture - and will therefore provide the perfect opportunity for Emery to break the ice by bringing Xhaka back.
4. Back in first-team contention
Another man back in the first team, and seemingly delighted about it, is Mesut Ozil.
Before the Gunners' Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool the German World Cup winner had featured just twice in all competitions this season - despite not suffering an injury.
Worst of all was that fact that in these two fixtures he was hooked around the hour mark.
Ozil didn't get the chance to play the full game against Liverpool, but he was hands down Arsenal's best player on the night.
 Whether he'll feature for a third consecutive match in Portugal this week is anyone's guess.
5. Communication is key
Emery is under pressure at Arsenal, there's no two words about it.
But he has been calling on his backroom staff to give him a helping hand, especially where communication is concerned.
Robin van Persie is among the pundits who have suggested Emery's poor English is making it difficult for players to understand his instructions.
There have also been reports that some of the younger players are gravitating towards assistant head coach Freddie Ljungberg for guidance.
It's not great news for Emery, but if he is struggling to get his point across then having his assistants assist him may just save him his job.

--- layout: post title: "Getting started with Fable and Webpack" description: "Getting started with Fable (F# to JS compiler), Webpack using Visual Studio Code" modified: 2016-05-16 tags: [F#, Fable, VSCode, Webpack, JS] image: feature: abstract-6.jpg ---
Fable is new F# to JavaScript compiler created by Alfonso Garcia-Caro. In this post I'll go, step by step, through process of creating client-side (browser) applications using it.
This post is targeted at F# developers without lot of knowladge about Node.js and JS ecosystem and it should let any F# developer to get started with Fable.
Fable requires having both F# 4 and node 4.4 or bigger installed in your computer.
The first thing we need to do is creating new directory and initializing node project:
1: 2: 3: |
|
Npm is is the package manager for JavaScript. It lets users to find, share, and reuse packages of code or install additional tools
npm init
will create package.json
file. This file is project file for any Node.js based project (both client and server side). At start it will contain only basic information about a project, something like that:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: |
|
Next step is installing all development dependencies (tools) which we'll be using for our project. To do so we are using npm install
command:
1: 2: 3: |
|
First line installs Fable compiler for our project. Second command installs Webpack. Webpack is a module bundler - it takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules. In our case it would take generated by Fable files together with other JS libraries we will depend upon and create single file output which can be easily added to page. Last dependency is plugin to Webpack which will enable nice debugging story for our application (debugging F# files in the browser)
It's also worth noticing that those commands modified package.json
file, now it contains also following block:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: |
|
Now we will install our code dependencies using also npm install
.
1: 2: |
|
core-js
is polyfill ensuring that code generated by Fable will run in any browser. fable-core
is standard Fable library.
Those commands again modified package.json
file, this time adding following information:
1: 2: 3: 4: |
|
Fable supports both fsproj
and plain fsx
files. For simplicity in this example let's use fsx
file. Create source\code.fsx
with follwing content:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: |
|
This code should be pretty straightforward, only tricky part is Node.require.Invoke("core-js")
which is importing Node.js module (installed by npm
).
Let's also create very simple HTML file public\index.html
( public
will be our output folder):
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: |
|
First step is creating configuration for Fable compiler. It's done by creating fableconfig.json
file.
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: |
|
First we define module type - in our case it's commonjs
(as it's working well with Webpack
). Next we define that we want to use soruce maps (it allows F# file debugging), entry point of application, and output directory for compiled JS files.
Next step is defining some small scripts which will be run before and after every build - before we want to run npm install
to restore all dependencies, after build we run webpack
to create bundled output file. Last part defines additional target which will be executed in watch
mode. In such case we want to run webpack
also in watch
mode.
watch
mode will make Fable and Webpack to recompile project after every file save without need to execute any additional commands.
Second step is to create webpack
configuration. Let's create webpack.config.js
file:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: 18: 19: 20: 21: 22: |
|
In this file we define that we want to use source maps, entry point for webpack ( so file generated by Fable), output path, and usage of any additional plugins (in our case it will be source-map-loader
installed before)
Easiest way to run tools installed by npm
is by using scripts section in packages.json
file. Let's put there following scripts:
1: 2: 3: 4: |
|
build
just starts Fable. watch
, as name suggests, starts Fable in watch
mode, so code is regenerated every time we save F# file. We can run those scripts using npm run <script_name>
command.
Last, optional step is creating VSCode configuration. It's fairly easy since editor has decent integration with npm
. All we need to do is create .vscode\tasks.json
file and put there following code:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: 14: 15: 16: 17: 18: 19: 20: 21: 22: 23: |
|
Here we define that our tasks are using npm
and we define arguments send to npm
with every task.
We can run those task usign Tasks: Run Task
command (build
task can be also run using Tasks: Run Build Command
command or Ctrl + Shift + B
)
In this post we have shortly moved all steps necessary to create browser, client-side applications using F#, Fable and Webpack. Whole source code of this sample application is on GitHub - https://github.com/Krzysztof-Cieslak/fable-webpack-demo

This sample shows how to use Selenium in order to create UI testing with Citrus. Why would somebody combine Citrus with Selenium? On the one hand Citrus provides XML and Java fluent API integration for Selenium tasks so you do not need to write Selenium code yourself. Secondly you might want to combine UI testing with Citrus messaging capabilities such as deleting all entries on a Http REST service first and then creating a new entry via UI interaction in a browser. Read about this feature in reference guide
Objectives
The todo-list sample application provides a REST API for managing todo entries. We open the browser and perform some user interaction with the todo app user interface. Besides that we call the Http REST API in order to clean up all todo entries up front. The Selenium integration is also used to validate HTML elements and page objects in our test cases.
First of all we add a Selenium browser component as Spring bean.
@Bean
public SeleniumBrowser browser() {
return CitrusEndpoints.selenium()
.browser()
.type(BrowserType.CHROME)
.build();
}
As you can see the browser component in Citrus is a normal Selenium WebDriver. You can pick the target browser implementation and add web driver configuration as you like.
In addition to that basic browser component we add a normal Http client component for calling the Http REST API on the todo server.
@Bean
public HttpClient todoClient() {
return CitrusEndpoints.http()
.client()
.requestUrl("http://localhost:8080")
.build();
}
Also we can use a new after suite hook in order to close the browser when all tests are finished:
@Bean
@DependsOn("browser")
public SequenceAfterSuite afterSuite(SeleniumBrowser browser) {
return new TestRunnerAfterSuiteSupport() {
@Override
public void afterSuite(TestRunner runner) {
runner.selenium(builder -> builder.browser(browser).stop());
}
};
}
For demonstration purpose we add a sleep
action in a new after test hook so we see actually what the browser is doing.
@Bean
public SequenceAfterTest afterTest() {
return new TestRunnerAfterTestSupport() {
@Override
public void afterTest(TestRunner runner) {
runner.sleep(500);
}
};
}
In a test case we can now use the Selenium browser component in the Citrus fluent API.
@Test
@CitrusTest
public void testAddEntry() {
variable("todoName", "todo_citrus:randomNumber(4)");
variable("todoDescription", "Description: ${todoName}");
http()
.client(todoClient)
.send()
.delete("/api/todolist");
http()
.client(todoClient)
.receive()
.response(HttpStatus.OK);
selenium()
.browser(browser)
.start();
selenium()
.navigate(todoClient.getEndpointConfiguration().getRequestUrl() + "/todolist");
selenium()
.find()
.element(By.xpath("(//li[@class='list-group-item'])[last()]"))
.text("No todos found");
selenium()
.setInput("${todoName}")
.element(By.name("title"));
selenium()
.setInput("${todoDescription}")
.element(By.name("description"));
selenium().click()
.element(By.tagName("button"));
selenium()
.waitUntil()
.element(By.xpath("(//li[@class='list-group-item']/span)[last()]"))
.timeout(2000L)
.visible();
selenium()
.find()
.element(By.xpath("(//li[@class='list-group-item']/span)[last()]"))
.text("${todoName}");
}
We call the DELETE
option on the /todolist
Http resource in order to have an empty todo list that we can operate on. The Selenium
browser is started and the user navigates to the todo list application. The testcase validates the empty todo list display and fills out the todo HTML form
with a sample entry. The form is submitted and a final validation checks that the todo entry is added and displayed in the list.
Page objects
Using page objects that represent a application page with its elements and action capabilities is a good practice in UI testing with Selenium. Citrus also supports the usage Java POJOs as page objects.
public class TodoPage implements WebPage, PageValidator<TodoPage> {
@FindBy(tagName = "h1")
private WebElement heading;
@FindBy(tagName = "form")
private WebElement newTodoForm;
@FindBy(xpath = "(//li[@class='list-group-item'])[last()]")
private WebElement lastEntry;
/**
* Submits new entry.
* @param title
* @param description
*/
public void submit(String title, String description) {
newTodoForm.findElement(By.id("title")).sendKeys(title);
if (StringUtils.hasText(description)) {
newTodoForm.findElement(By.id("description")).sendKeys(description);
}
newTodoForm.submit();
}
@Override
public void validate(TodoPage webPage, SeleniumBrowser browser, TestContext context) {
Assert.assertEquals(heading.getText(), "TODO list");
Assert.assertEquals(lastEntry.getText(), "No todos found");
}
}
The page object listed above represents the todo list page with its elements and actions such as submit
. The page also implements the
PageValidator
interface adding validation methods for checking that the rendered page is as expected.
In a test case we can use this page objects for user interaction and validation:
@Test
@CitrusTest
public void testAddEntry() {
variable("todoName", "todo_citrus:randomNumber(4)");
variable("todoDescription", "Description: ${todoName}");
[...]
TodoPage todoPage = new TodoPage();
selenium()
.page(todoPage)
.validate();
selenium()
.page(todoPage)
.argument("${todoName}")
.argument("${todoDescription}")
.execute("submit");
[...]
}
Run
You can execute some sample Citrus test cases in this sample in order to write the reports. Open a separate command line terminal and navigate to the sample folder.
Execute all Citrus tests by calling
mvn integration-test
You should see Citrus performing several tests with lots of debugging output.
And of course green tests at the very end of the build and some new reporting files in target/citrus-reports
folder.
Of course you can also start the Citrus tests from your favorite IDE. Just start the Citrus test using the TestNG IDE integration in IntelliJ, Eclipse or Netbeans.

CYCLO (Xich lo) (director/writer: Tran Anh Hung; cinematographer: Benoit Delhomme/ Laurence Tremolet; editor: Nicole Dedieu; cast: Le Van Loc (Rickshaw Driver), Tony Leung-Chiu Wai (The Poet, A Pimp), Tran Nu Yen Khe (Prostitute, older sister of the rickshaw driver), Le Kinh Huy (Grandfather), Pham Ngoc Lieu (Little Sister), Nguyen Nhu Quynh (Madam), Van Day Nguyen (Mr. Lullaby), Le Tuan Anh (Handcuff Man), 1995-Vietnam/France)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Cyclo was shot in modern Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). It was directed and written by Tran Anh Hung (The Scent of Green Papaya), as if he were a tourist visiting hell, shocked by all the squalor he sees. He was born in Vietnam and ever since he was 13, in 1975, he has lived in Paris. The Vietnamese city he revisits is a demoralizing place, where poverty and crass materialism go hand to hand. In this somber world, the director chooses to let his characters be nameless, as they are given nicknames derived from either their occupation or some description used to identify them.
The 18-year-old cyclo driver (Le Van Loc) has the right face of despair for this hellhole he was born into and can't escape from, not finding much to smile about as he pedals all over this bustling town picking up fares to help keep his family supplied with the bare necessities, and returns at night to the small two-room open shack the family lives in, in what seems to be an endless cycle of suffering.
The pedicab cyclo driver's mother died at childbirth and his father died in a truck accident while he was young. Now everyone must work in this family even if they are too old, too infirmed, or too young. His elderly grandfather repairs tires, his very young sister shines shoes, and his very special older sister (Tran Nu Yen Khe-the director's wife), a beautiful and gentle young lady, is the matriarch of the family and works as a water carrier in the marketplace.
 Their miserable lives have no good prospects in sight and no good father-figure around to help them.
Poetry is the vehicle of choice for how the story is best transcribed onscreen, since dialogue is almost non-existent. It is told as if time doesn't exist, one event runs into another and everything seems jumbled. Images of water and fire are used throughout the film for purposes of symbolically cleansing the soul and destroying the impurities in it.
Paint is used as a contrast to blood. Crazy Son, the Madam's son, paints his face yellow and gets Cyclo confused as to who he is, thinking that he might be his father. When Cyclo is drugged out, he paints his face blue and swallows some goldfish (whatever that symbolically means), and the Madam confuses him for her son, forgiving him for everything, as she sings lullabies to him.
In a film loaded with contrasts, the huge gap between most of the population which is poor, is harshly contrasted with those who have money to burn.
Innocence is being corrupted by the experienced, proving that nothing remains pure in this city that steals one's life, one's poetry, and one's spirit. It reduces the innocent to being left with no choice but to be corrupted by the city or die in poverty. In one scene Cyclo is listening to a gangster sing lullabies, while the gangster knifes to death someone who is bound and gagged.
In another abstract scene, there is a crashed U.S. Army helicopter down in the middle of a heavily trafficked Saigon street. Which signifies that there is something despairing about the foreign influence in Vietnam, but what that despair exactly means, is never clearly stated in the context of the story.
The action starts when the boy's cyclo (pronounced cee-clo) is stolen by a rival gang, and the family's main source of economic support is taken away from them.   He has forgotten his father's sound advice to self-improve, so he looks to the gangster way of life to get out of his impoverished state; he is only reminded that he is not following his father's advice when he has strong dreams that his father seems to be trying to tell him something is wrong with what he is doing.
What he is after now is power and revenge. He gets revenge when he tosses a gasoline fire-bomb into the rival cyclo garage, the one that stole his cyclo, and he later takes out the eye of one of its members, by hitting him with a board. He willingly joins the Madam's gang, coming under the caring tutelage of The Poet (Tony Leung), a small-time gang leader for the Madam. He is soon carting drugs across town during the New Year's festival, when the streets are jammed and the police are stopping to search those who look suspicious. He also becomes part of the gang's assassination squad and is given a gun to go with the switchblade he was initially given by Mr. Lullaby. He wants power, and believes that power comes from the gun he holds in his hand.
Not known to him, his virgin sister gets involved with a pimp, The Poet, who is the leader of the same gang he joined. The Poet befriends him, and his sensitivity is shown by the verses he recites off camera that are coming from his heart. In his daily life, he hardly speaks. He is linked to Cyclo by karma. He identifies with him and his choice to be a gangster rather than be poor all his life. Also, The Poet is endeared to Cyclo because the youngster still has his innocence intact. He, thereby, tries to help him as best as he can.The Poet also shows that he is capable of wordly love, as he loves Cyclo's sister and protects her, even takes her to meet his mother and father. He somehow keeps her a virgin by having her do all the kinky sex tricks that do not involve touching, like peeing for a customer.
Whenever The Poet gets tense, his nose bleeds. Blood gain is used as a symbol.
Tragedy strikes for her, when a wealthy customer, who is into handcuff bondage, rapes her. When he pays the pimp off with extra money and apologizes for what he did, this does not satisfy the pimp, who knifes him to death in a stylized killing that is very graphic.  For the Poet, losing one's innocence is tantamount to death.
 But it is not a masterpiece storywise, as its storyline was rambling, laying no specific blame for what is happening on the local government or for that matter, on anyone, only implying how rotten the Western influence is. Also, it seemed to me, there were too many violent scenes, as the filmmaker seems to revel in them without expounding on them. He seems to be expressing an unclear reason for his rage through the use of his troubling images, not letting up on the nightmare he sees before him, but also not saying why he thinks the violence is inevitable.
This powerful film offers westerners a potent dosage of what life is like in a third world country, a country most Americans only envision in a depersonalized way, but the film still had too many gaps in its storytelling and too many loose ends it left not fully developed. Cyclo, as a person, should have been more flesh-and-blood like, rather than used as merely a morbid symbolic example of the loss of innocence. There was something there that just seemed to be elusive about the film, the director just wouldn't let the viewer get into without imposing his own personal barriers; he doesn't even want to give us their real names, as if he thought, we would sully their hardships even more than it already is. He mainly wants to shock our sensibilities, to have us look plaintively at his native country like he does, even if he too is only a tourist. There is nothing wrong with that in itself, but his social designs could have been painted with clearer brush strokes.
The contrast between those who are gentle and those who are brutal, and those who are dreamers and those who can't dream anymore, could have been better utilized than to point out the obvious, of how wretched a place this is and of how the gentle (innocent) have little chance of succeeding.
Still, this is one powerful film, filled with relentless and disturbing visualizations, whose poetic voice comes from the inside of the director and is strong and boiling over with metaphorical emotion.
Cyclo was a deserved winner of a Golden Lion award for best film at the Venice Film Festival.

Rengar is a ferocious vastayan trophy hunter who lives for the thrill of tracking down and killing dangerous creatures. He scours the world for the most fearsome beasts he can find, especially seeking any trace of Kha'Zix, the void creature who scratched out his eye. Rengar stalks his prey neither for food nor glory, but for the sheer beauty of the pursuit.
Rengar hails from a tribe of Shuriman vastaya known as the Kiilash, whose society venerated the honor and glory of the hunt. Rengar was born the runt of the litter to the tribe's chieftain, Ponjaf. Ponjaf believed Rengar's diminutive size would make him a worthless hunter. He ignored his child, assuming the runt would starve to death.
Eventually, the young Rengar fled the camp, ashamed that he had disappointed his father. He subsisted on grubs and plants for weeks until, one day, he was nearly killed by a legendary human hunter named Markon. Upon seeing Rengar's state, he took pity on the creature and let it live. Besides, this was no mighty vastayan warrior worthy of Markon's blade.
Rengar spent months following Markon, feeding off the corpses the hunter left behind. He still hoped to one day rejoin his tribe, and so took great care in observing how Markon took down his quarries.
 He put a knife to Rengar's throat and informed him that the only way to be a hunter was to hunt.
Rengar leapt onto his father and gutted him from neck to belly. The fiercest hunters of the tribe crowned him with flame-roses, marking him as their new chieftain. But Rengar didn't need his village's acceptance. All he needed was adrenaline pumping through his veins as he chased down his prey. He left the village, without even pausing to take a trophy from what was left of Ponjaf—his father was not a kill worthy of remembering. Instead, he set off determined to find and slay the Void creature that had tried to blind him. Not to satisfy the Kiilash, but to satisfy himself.
A vicious Void predator, Kha'Zix infiltrated Valoran to devour the land's most promising creatures.  Kha'Zix hungers most to conquer and consume RengarSquare Rengar, the one beast he considers his equal.
When Kha'Zix crossed over into this world, he was fragile and ravenous. The animals he first encountered were too small to fuel the rapid evolution he craved. Kha'Zix focused his hunger on the most dangerous creatures he could find, risking his life to satisfy his need.  Kha'Zix soon chased his prey with unrestrained aggression, believing he was unstoppable. One day, while savoring a fresh kill, the predator became the prey.
From Unseen Predator cover a creature pounced in a blur of fangs and Savagery steel, tackling him to the ground. It Battle Roar roared in his face, slashing and clawing, and Kha'Zix felt his blood spill for the first time. Screeching in fury, he Taste Their Fear sliced at the brute's eye, driving it back. They fought from sunset to sunrise. Finally, near death, they reluctantly separated. As his wounds closed, Kha'Zix burned with anticipation at the idea of devouring one who could match the Void's strength. He resumed his search for powerful prey with renewed vigor. Someday, Kha'Zix will feast on Rengar.
The Lady Elise was born many centuries ago to House Kythera, an old and powerful family of Noxus, and swiftly learned the power of beauty to influence the weak-minded. When she came of age, she plotted to marry the scion of House Zaavan to augment her house's power. The match was opposed by many within Zaavan, but Elise beguiled her intended husband and manipulated her detractors to secure a betrothal.
As Elise had planned, her influence upon her new husband proved considerable. House Zaavan grew stronger, which in turn saw House Kythera's star rise. Elise's husband was the face of his house, but those in the know understood who truly wielded power. At first, Elise's husband tolerated this, but as the years went by, his discontent festered as he became a light joke among Noxian families.
Eventually, his resentment grew ever more rancorous until one night over a typically frosty dinner, he revealed he had tainted her wine with a disfiguring poison.   With every breath the poison did its evil work, dissolving her flesh and bone from the inside out. Believing he would have the antidote somewhere about his person, Elise palmed a sharp knife and played the role of remorseful wife to the hilt. She wept and begged her husband to forgive her, using every wile in her arsenal to approach without alerting him to her deadly intent. All the while, the poison was wracking her body, discoloring her flesh with grotesque lesions and filling her limbs with agony.
