Farmer John created a huge maze of fences in a field. He omitted two fence segments on the edges, thus creating two ``exits'' for the maze. The maze is a `perfect' maze; you can find a way out of the maze from any point inside it.
Given the layout of the maze, calculate the number of steps required to exit the maze from the `worst' point in the maze (the point that is `farther' from either exit when walking optimally to the closest exit).
Here's what one particular W=5, H=3 maze looks like:
+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
+-+ +-+ + +
| | | |
+ +-+-+ + +
| | |
+-+ +-+-+-+
Given:
Problems often require only the cost of a shortest path not necessarily the path itself. This sample problem requires calculating only the costs of shortest paths between exits and interior points of the maze. Specifically, it requires the maximum of all of those various costs.
Given: lists of vertices, edges, and edge costs, this algorithm `visits' vertices in order of their distance from the source vertex.
In determining the shortest path to a particular vertex, this algorithm determines all shorter paths from the source vertex as well since no more work is required to calculate all shortest paths from a single source to vertices in a graph.
Reference: Chapter 25 of [Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest]
Pseudocode:
# distance(j) is distance from source vertex to vertex j
# parent(j) is the vertex that precedes vertex j in any shortest path
# (to reconstruct the path subsequently)
1 For all nodes i
2 distance(i) = infinity # not reachable yet
3 visited(i) = False
4 parent(i) = nil # no path to vertex yet
5 distance(source) = 0 # source -> source is start of all paths
6 parent(source) = nil
7
8 while (nodesvisited < graphsize)
9 find unvisited vertex with min distance to source; call it vertex i
10 assert (distance(i) != infinity, "Graph is not connected")
11 visited(i) = True # mark vertex i as visited
# update distances of neighbors of i
12 For all neighbors j of vertex i
13 if distance(i) + weight(i,j) < distance(j) then
14 distance(j) = distance(i) + weight(i,j)
15 parent(j) = i
Running time of this formulation is O(V2). You can obtain O(E log V) (where E is the number of edges and V is the number of vertices) by using a heap to determine the next vertex to visit, but this is considerably more complex to code and only appreciably faster on large, sparse graphs.
Consider the graph below, whose edge weights can be expressed two different ways:
|
|
|
|
Here is the initial state of the program, both graphically and in a table:
|
| Updating the table, node 1's neighbors include nodes 3 and 4. |
|
Node 3 is the closest unvisited node to the source node (smallest distance shown in column 3), so it is the next visited:
|
| Node 3's neighbors are nodes 1, 4, and 5. Updating the unvisited neighbors yields: |
|
Node 4 is the closest unvisited node to the source. Its neighbors are 1, 2, 3, and 6, of which only nodes 2 and 6 need be updated, since the others have already been visited:
|
Of the three remaining nodes (2, 5, and 6), node 5 is closest to the source and should be visited next. Its neighbors include nodes 3 and 2, of which only node 2 is unvisited. The distance to node 2 via node 5 is 14, which is longer than the already listed distance of 10 via node 4, so node 2 is not updated.
|
The closest of the two remaining nodes is node 2, whose neighbors are nodes 4, 5, and 6, of which only node 6 is unvisited. Furthermore, node 6 is now closer, so its entry must be updated:
|
Finally, only node 6 remains to be visited. All of its neighbors (indeed the entire graph) have now been visited:

Given a set of locations, lengths of roads connecting them, and an ordered list of package dropoff locations. Find the length of the shortest route that visits each of the package dropoff locations in order.
Analysis: For each leg of the required path, run Dijkstra's algorithm to determine the shortest path connecting the two endpoints. If the number of legs in the journey exceeds N, instead of calculating each path, calculate the shortest path between all pairs of vertices, and then simply paste the shortest path for each leg of the journey together to get the entire journey.
The extended problem is to determine a table a, where:
ai,j = length of shortest path between i and j,
or infinity if i and j aren't connected.
This problem is usually solved as a subproblem of a larger problem, such as the package delivery problem.
Dijkstra's algorithm determines shortest paths for one source and all destinations in O(N2) time. We can run it for all N sources in O(N3) time.
If the paths do not need to be recreated, there's an even simpler solution that also runs in O(N3) time.
The Floyd-Warshall algorithm finds the length of the shortest paths between all pairs of vertices. It requires an adjacency matrix containing edge weights, the algorithm constructs optimal paths by piecing together optimal subpaths.
Pseudocode:
# dist(i,j) is "best" distance so far from vertex i to vertex j
# Start with all single edge paths.
For i = 1 to n do
For j = 1 to n do
dist(i,j) = weight(i,j)
For k = 1 to n do # k is the `intermediate' vertex
For i = 1 to n do
For j = 1 to n do
if (dist(i,k) + dist(k,j) < dist(i,j)) then # shorter path?
dist(i,j) = dist(i,k) + dist(k,j)
This algorithm runs in O(V3) time. It requires the adjacency matrix form of the graph.
It's very easy to code and get right (only a few lines).
Even if the solution requires only the single source shortest path, this algorithm is recommended, provided the time and memory and are available (chances are, if the adjacency matrix fits in available memory, there is enough time).
If the problem wants an optimal path or the cost of a minimal route or journey, it is likely a shortest path problem. Even if a graph isn't obvious in a problem, if the problem wants the minimum cost of some process and there aren't many states, then it is usually easy to superimpose a graph on it. The big point here: shortest path = search for the minimal cost way of doing something.
If the graph is unweighted, the shortest path contains a minimal number of edges. A breadth first search (BFS) will solve the problem in this case, using a queue to visit nodes in order of their distance from the source. If there are many vertices but few edges, this runs much faster than Dijkstra's algorithm (see Amazing Barn in Sample Problems).
If negative weight edges are allowed, Dijkstra's algorithm breaks down. Fortunately, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm isn't affected so long as there are no negative cycles in the graph (if there is a negative cycle, it can be traversed arbitrarily many times to get ever `shorter' paths). So, graphs must be checked for them before executing a shortest path algorithm.
It is possible to add additional conditions to the definition of shortest path (for example, in the event of a tie, the path with fewer edges is shorter). So long as the distance function can be augmented along with the comparison function, the problem remains the same. In the example above, the distance function contains two values: weight and edge count. Both values would be compared if necessary.
Given: an undirected, unweighted, connected graph. Find two vertices which are the farthest apart.
Analysis: Find the length of shortest paths for all pairs and vertices, and calculate the maximum of these.
Given: Two squares on an NxN chessboard. Determine the shortest sequence of knight moves from one square to the other.
Analysis: Let the chessboard be a graph with 64 vertices. Each vertex has at most 8 edges, representing squares 1 knight move away.
Consider a very strange barn that consists of N stalls (N < 2500). Each stall has an ID number. From each stall you can reach 4 other stalls, but you can't necessarily come back the way you came.
Given the number of stalls and a formula for adjacent stalls, find any of the `most central' stalls. A stall is `most central' if it is among the stalls that yields the lowest average distance to other stalls using best paths.
Analysis: Compute all shortest paths from each vertex to
determine its average distance. Any O(N3)
algorithm for computing all-pairs shortest paths would be prohibitively
expensive here since N=2500. However, there are very few edges (4
per vertex), making a BFS with queue ideal. A BFS runs in O(E)
time, so to compute shortest paths for all sources takes O(VE) time
- about:
2,500 x 10,000 = 2.5 x 107
things, much more reasonable than 25003 = 1.56 x

Farmer John has decided to connect his dairy cows directly to the town pasteurizing plant by constructing his own personal railroad. Farmer John's land is laid out as a grid of one kilometer squares specified as row and column.
The normal cost for laying a kilometer of track is $100. Track that must gain or lose elevation between squares is charged a per-kilometer cost of $100 + $3 x meters_of_change_in_elevation. If the track's direction changes 45 degrees within a square, costs rise an extra $25; a 90 degree turn costs $40. All other turns are not allowed.
Given the topographic map, and the location of both John's farm and the plan, calculate the cost of the cheapest track layout.
Analysis: This is almost a standard shortest path problem, with grid squares as vertices and rails as edges, except that the direction a square is entered limits the ways you can exit that square. The problem: it is not possible to specify which edges exist in advance (since the path matters).
The solution: create eight vertices for each square, one for each direction you can enter that square. Now you can determine all of the edges in advance and solve the problem as a shortest path problem.


To see the results of our benchmarks visit https://github.com/broofa/node-uuid/wiki/Benchmark
node-uuid comes with some benchmarks to measure performance of generating UUIDs. These can be run using node.js. node-uuid is being benchmarked against some other uuid modules, that are available through npm namely uuid
and uuid-js
.
To prepare and run the benchmark issue;
npm install uuid uuid-js
node benchmark/benchmark.js
You'll see an output like this one:
# v4
nodeuuid.v4(): 854700 uuids/second
nodeuuid.v4('binary'): 788643 uuids/second
nodeuuid.v4('binary', buffer): 1336898 uuids/second
uuid(): 479386 uuids/second
uuid('binary'): 582072 uuids/second
uuidjs.create(4): 312304 uuids/second
# v1
nodeuuid.v1(): 938086 uuids/second
nodeuuid.v1('binary'): 683060 uuids/second
nodeuuid.v1('binary', buffer): 1644736 uuids/second
uuidjs.create(1): 190621 uuids/second
uuid()
entries are for Nikhil Marathe's uuid module which is a wrapper around the native libuuid library.uuidjs()
entries are for Patrick Negri's uuid-js module which is a pure javascript implementation based on UUID.js by LiosK.If you want to get more reliable results you can run the benchmark multiple times and write the output into a log file:
for i in {0..9}; do node benchmark/benchmark.js >> benchmark/bench_0.4.12.log; done;
If you're interested in how performance varies between different node versions, you can issue the above command multiple times.
You can then use the shell script bench.sh
provided in this directory to calculate the averages over all benchmark runs and draw a nice plot:
(cd benchmark/ && ./bench.sh)
This assumes you have gnuplot and ImageMagick installed. You'll find a nice bench.png
graph in the benchmark/
directory then.

Mortality
Source of witness transcribed: The Madisonian (Washington, DC)
Date of witness transcribed: 19 December 1839
Notes about this poem: "Mortality" was printed in at least 235 newspapers during the nineteenth century. It can be found using ID 75841 in this table of most widely-reprinted poems.
The poem is attributed here to J. Knox, but was written by Scottish poet William Knox and first published in his 1824 book Songs of Israel. The poem was most widely reprinted under the title "O! Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud!" (the poem's first line) after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It was purported to be one of Lincoln's favorite poems, which he would often recite from memory, and the poem's reflections on mortality resonated with the national mood of mourning at the time.
§
- Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud!
- Like a light-fleeting meteor, a fast-flitting cloud,
- A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
-
He passeth from life to his rest in the grave.
- The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade,
- Be scattered around and together be laid;
- And the young and the old, and the low and the high,
-
Shall moulder to dust, and together shall lie.

- The maid on whose brow, on whose cheek, in whose eye
- Shone beauty and pleasure, her triumphs are by;
- And alike from the minds of the living erased,
-
Are the mem’ries of mortals who loved her and praised.
- The hand of the King that the sceptre hath borne;
- The brow of the Priest that the mitre hath worn;
- The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave,
-
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
- The saint who enjoy’d the communion of Heaven;
- The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven;
- The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
-
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
- The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap;
- The herdsman that climb’d with his goats up the steep;
- The beggar who wander’d in search of his bread,
-
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
- So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed
- That wither away to let others succeed;
- So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
-
To reap every tale that has often been told.
- For we are the same that our fathers have been,
- We’ve seen the same sights that our fathers have seen;
- We drink the same stream, and we see the same sun,
-
And we run the course that our fathers have run.
- The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would think,
- From the death we are shrinking our fathers would shrink,
- To the life we are clinging they also would cling;
-
But it speeds from the earth like a bird on the wing.
- They loved, but their story we cannot unfold,
- They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold;
- They grieved, but no wail from their slumbers will come;
-
They joyed, but the tongues of their gladness is dumb.
- They died!—ah! they died! We things that are now,
- Who walk on the turf that lies over each brow,
- That make in their dwellings a transient abode,
-
Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road.
- Yea, hope and despondency, pleasure and pain,
- Are mingled together in sunshine and rain;
- And the smile and the tear, and the song and the dirge,
-
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
- ‘Tis the wink of an eye, ‘tis the draught of a breath,
- From the blossom of health to the paleness of death,
- From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud—
- Oh! why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

As an effective method, an algorithm can be expressed within a finite amount of space and time[1] and in a well-defined formal language[2] for calculating a function.[3] Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty),[4] the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite[5] number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing "output"[6] and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.[7]
The concept of algorithm has existed for centuries and the use of the concept can be ascribed to Greek mathematicians, e.g. the sieve of Eratosthenes and Euclid's algorithm;[8] the term algorithm itself derives from the 9th Century mathematician Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al'Khwārizmī, latinized 'Algoritmi'. A partial formalization of what would become the modern notion of algorithm began with attempts to solve the Entscheidungsproblem (the "decision problem") posed by David Hilbert in 1928. Subsequent formalizations were framed as attempts to define "effective calculability"[9] or "effective method";[10] those formalizations included the Gödel–Herbrand–Kleene recursive functions of 1930, 1934 and 1935, Alonzo Church's lambda calculus of 1936, Emil Post's Formulation 1 of 1936, and Alan Turing's Turing machines of 1936–7 and 1939.
The word 'algorithm' has its roots in latinizing the name of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi in a first step to algorismus.[11][12] Al-Khwārizmī (Persian: خوارزمی, c. 780–850) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and scholar in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, whose name means 'the native of Khwarezm', a region that was part of Greater Iran and is now in Uzbekistan.[13][14]

About 825, al-Khwarizmi wrote an Arabic language treatise on the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which was translated into Latin during the 12th century under the title Algoritmi de numero Indorum. This title means "Algoritmi on the numbers of the Indians", where "Algoritmi" was the translator's Latinization of Al-Khwarizmi's name.[15] Al-Khwarizmi was the most widely read mathematician in Europe in the late Middle Ages, primarily through another of his books, the Algebra.[16] In late medieval Latin, algorismus, English 'algorism', the corruption of his name, simply meant the "decimal number system". In the 15th century, under the influence of the Greek word ἀριθμός 'number' (cf. 'arithmetic'), the Latin word was altered to algorithmus, and the corresponding English term 'algorithm' is first attested in the 17th century; the modern sense was introduced in the 19th century.[17]

In English, it was first used in about 1230 and then by Chaucer in 1391. English adopted the French term, but it wasn't until the late 19th century that "algorithm" took on the meaning that it has in modern English.
Another early use of the word is from 1240, in a manual titled Carmen de Algorismo composed by Alexandre de Villedieu. It begins thus:

The main components of the web are:
The browser that the user is running on his computer makes requests using the http protocol via the internet to the server. When the server receives the request, it responds by returning files to the browser. The browser then interprets and displays the files.
HTML is the main document of the web. HTML is the main structure of web pages.
HTML is made up of:
HTML markup is made of elements, which are made of tags.
Elements can be block or inline elements. Block element content is contained within an invisible box, whereas inline element content is contained within their tags and does not start a new line.
The browser builds a tree-like, branching structure of a web page, otherwise known as the DOM tree. The browser turns html tags into elements that form nodes of the tree. The DOM is an alternative representation of an HTML document.
Mozilla Developer Network provides a comprehensive introduction to the DOM HERE.
Everything on a web page is a box. You can break down web page elements into boxes nested within boxes, nested within boxes.
Using a browser's developer tools, one can access any web page source and observe this. Understanding this concept of elements being contained in a box can be very helpful when laying out contents of a web page.
CSS-Tricks has a easy to understand article about the box model.


AWS::SNS::Subscription

--- layout: newsstory title: ANOTHER STEP CLOSER match: Yeltz 5 Swindon Supermarine 1 ---
The mighty Yeltz continued their march back to the Premier Division with an easy 5-1 victory over bottom placed Swindon Supermarine. Two first half goals from Les Hines and one from Andy Spencer set us on our way, and further goals from Leroy and a JB penalty kept us on top of the league despite letting in a late Swindon penalty.
In the other crucial promotion games, Chippenham drew 1-1 with Weston and Solihull won 4-0 against Gloucester. All this means is we now need a maximum of just 17 points to clinch promotion, and 19 points to become champions. I've added a handy reminder on the right of the home page to add to the excitement.
Tuesday brings Weston to The Grove in a game which could just about clinch promotion for us. We still haven't won against any of the top teams this season so let's hope that changes and we can enjoy a comfortable end of season run in. Come on!
As you can hopefully see I've tarted the site up a little - I hope you like it.

Swindon Supermarine: Bull; Bellinger, Bennett, Beaverstock, Roper, Davis, T. Jones, Dunton, Smart, Giles, Hulbert. Subs: Hussain, Richards, James
Referee: S. Flannagan (Wednesfield) Attendance: 602 Booked: Dunton (48)
Brendan Philips asked his players to remain totally focussed and received the perfect response in a game some observers felt could be a potential "banana skin". However, bottom side Swindon were sunk by a five-star performance with five goals in a 35-minute spell.
Andy Spencer scuffed a 13th minute shot when Leroy May flicked on, but in a quiet opening Halesowen showed patience as relegation threatened Swindon packed their defence. The breakthrough came after 21 minutes when May was fouled on the edge of the penalty area and Les Hines fired a low free-kick directly past the wall and beyond goalkeeper Liam Bull. As Swindon's defence panicked Stuart Skidmore went close from a May flick on in the 23rd minute and the second goal soon followed three minutes later. In a crowded goalmouth Dennis Bailey saw his header cleared off the line from a corner but as Lee Collins turned the ball back in, Andy Spencer headed into the unprotected net from close range. On the half-hour Bailey had a shot turned away for a corner and then hit the side-netting from Mark Taylor's corner kick with the ball resembling a pin-ball in the Swindon area. Spencer crossed just high for May in the 36th minute and from the follow-up Bailey's shot was yet again blocked. Swindon earned their first corner of the game in the 44th minute but it was the Yeltz who went 3-0 ahead on the stroke of half-time when Swindon failed to clear a Skidmore cross and Hines had the easy task of heading into the unguarded net.
The relentless pressure continued at the start of the second half with Mark Taylor skimming the bar in the 46th minute before the fourth goal arrived after 53 minutes. It was Supermarine's inability to defend against set pieces that was their undoing again when they failed to clear another corner from Hines and May was on hand to nod home from a couple of yards out. With Swindon all at sea, goalkeeper Bull pulled down Spencer as he was rounding him and about to shoot and Jason Burnham banged home the resulting penalty to increase the lead on 58 minutes. Tim Clarke was at last in action after 80 minutes when he dived to save Dominic Dunton's 25 yard shot but Burnham then almost added to his tally but Bull just gathered the ball as he was being rounded.
Swindon finally gained a goal when referee Flannagan awarded a penalty against Lee Collins who was retrieving a ball from Adam Giles that was trapped between his legs. Tom Jones showed it's not unusual for Swindon to score by firing home the penalty and sent Swindon back to the green, green grass of home with some consolation. In the final minute Swindon survived another goalmouth scramble from a corner with May cracking the crossbar.

CF data model¶
The CF (Climate and Forecast) metadata conventions (http://cfconventions.org) provide a description of the physical meaning of data and of their spatial and temporal properties and are designed to promote the creation, processing, and sharing of climate and forecasting data using netCDF files and libraries (https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf).
The CF data model 1 identifies the fundamental elements (“constructs”) of the CF conventions and shows how they relate to each other, independently of the netCDF encoding.
The field construct defined by the CF data model, which corresponds to a CF-netCDF data variable with all of its metadata, is the central construct that includes all of the other constructs. It consists of
descriptive properties that apply to field construct as a whole (e.g. the standard name),
a data array, and
“metadata constructs” that describe
the locations of each cell of the data array (i.e. the “domain”), and
the physical nature of each cell’s datum.
The domain is defined by
domain axis constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF dimensions or scalar coordinate variables),
dimension coordinate constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF coordinate variables or numeric scalar coordinate variables),
auxiliary coordinate constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF auxiliary coordinate variables and non-numeric scalar coordinate variables),
coordinate reference constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF grid mapping variables or the formula_terms attribute of a coordinate variable),
domain ancillary constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF variables named by the formula_terms attribute of a coordinate variable), and
cell measure constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF cell measure variables).
The physical nature of individual data values are described by
field ancillary constructs (corresponding to CF-netCDF ancillary variables), and
cell method constructs (corresponding to a CF-netCDF cell_methods attribute of data variable).

With less than a week to go before the election of a new Potus in Pining & Pothorst Land (see 2nd September), the British government announced a canny little reorganisation. At a press conference to launch the new Department of Railings and Pewter, a spokesperson said: “The great thing about this new department is that, irrespective of whether the new Potus is Democrat or Republican, here in Britain we have gathered everything to do with railings and pewter under a single office. Not only will this make transatlantic railings and pewter issues much easier to manage, it also streamlines our own approach to both railings and pewter, which until now have been the responsibility of different departments often working at cross-purposes.”
The appointment of the new cabinet-level Minister for Railings and Pewter is being kept under wraps for the time being, due to insufferable pomposity and an outbreak of Blötzmann's Syndrome at Whitehall. Dashing and windswept flying doctors have been helicoptered in to cope with the chaos.
“Never let it be said that this government does not take both railings and pewter seriously,” said one MP. “Never, ever.
The logo of the new department is shown below. Look out for it next time you are looking out for the logo of a new government department.

by BARBARA LEONARD(CN) — Without commenting on whether funds were in fact misused, an EU court ruled Thursday that bias tainted a six-figure decision against political supporters of Brexit activist Nigel Farage.
The case stems from a 2016 decision by European Parliament against Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe, a now-defunct political group linked to the Farage’s UKIP party.
Finding that the group had improperly spent EU grants spent on the party’s domestic campaign in Britain, the European Parliament told the group to repay about $190,000 and later denied it $555,000 in new EU grants.
The group challenged that decision before the court in Luxembourg, complaining that the Bureau of Parliament was biased in failing to include a single representative of “euroskeptical” parties. Alleging outright hostility as well, the group quoted some public statements made by Ulrike Lunacek, a vice-president of the Parliament who belongs to the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance and belongs to the bureau.
The European General Court ruled Thursday that “appearances of impartiality were seriously compromised” in the case, noting that Lunacek’s comments in particular gave the impression “that member had prejudged the issue” before the decision was made.
In demanding reimbursement from ADDE, the Parliament flagged financing surveys and opinion polls related only to UKIP that the group released in the U.K. ahead of Britain’s 2015 general election and the 2016 referendum in which Britain voted to leave the EU.
EU rules prohibit the use of bloc funding on referendum campaigns.
Without addressing whether the ADDE did misuse funds, the court did note Thursday that the group also used EU funds to conduct polls in Belgium, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden, questioning how respondents would vote in an EU membership referendum, were one to be held.
“Only the part of the opinion poll relating to the UK is concerned by the prohibition of the financing of referenda campaigns,” the court said in a statement. “Therefore, the court considers that the declaration that all the expenditure relating to the opinion poll was ineligible was not justified.”
The ECJ did rule that Parliament was entitled to ask ADDE for a bank guarantee and to limit pre-financing for the party to 33% of the maximum amount of the grant for the 2017 financial year, a decision the political group had also challenged.

Definitive history of Wem could provide blueprint for towns' and villages' histories
by Toby NealA new definitive history of Wem which could provide a blueprint for similar histories of other Shropshire towns and villages is being launched in the town on November 30.
The history is the first publication by the trustees and committee of Victoria County History Shropshire Ltd, a charity, and is a "short," or single-case study, shining the spotlight on the town.
The launch is at 11am at Wem Town Hall and is open to all, with copies of the book on sale.
Professor Richard Hoyle, who chairs the trustees, said: "Wem has proved to be even more fascinating that we envisaged. Our history of Wem will take its readers into all manner of previously unexplored corners of the town’s history.
"It sets a new standard for the writing of local history in the county."
The book reveals for the first time that Wem was a planted medieval castle town.
Among the "did you know?" facts are: It has been a market town for over 800 years; in 1642 the Parliamentarian garrison held off a Royalist attack; the "great fire" of 1677 destroyed many of the existing buildings in the town centre, a factor in its predominantly Georgian and Victorian appearance; Wem is the home of the modern sweet pea; the town's Norman castle can be found in a High Street back garden; a smart new suburb of Wem was called Islington and had a pub called The Angel; and Wem bridge was designed by Thomas Telford.
Written by Judith Everard, James Bowen, and Wendy Horton, this first "short" is intended to establish a model for the histories of other towns, villages and parishes in Shropshire.
The Victoria County History is the biggest publishing project in English local history which aims to write the history of every parish and town in England, but for years progress in Shropshire stuttered and stalled, before VCH Shropshire, a voluntary group, was established in 2015 to continue the work locally.
It became a charity in 2017. It is an independent organisation, but works to the standards of VCH nationally.
The Wem book is paperback, 174 pages, with 35 figures, and five maps. Price until December 31 is £14, and afterwards, £16. After the launch it will be available from good bookshops and by post from the VCH Shropshire website (www.vchshropshire.org).

The Mandalorian concept art for Baby Yoda should come with health warning
The Mandalorian director Jon Favreau has just unveiled the concept art for ‘Baby Yoda’ and, honestly, we’ve never wanted to throw money at Star Wars more.
Disney Plus floored subscribers when they wrapped up episode one of their sci-fi epic with the first look at a tiny green creature resembling Luke Skywalker’s ancient mentor.
Turns out, the baby – who is actually 50-years-old – will be an integral part of The Mandalorian, even if we’re not yet quite sure what’s in store for the bubba.
Regardless, as long as absolutely no harm comes its way we can sleep easy because just look at the first designs of ‘Baby Yoda’ and weep.
Advertisement Advertisement
The character has been affectionately coined ‘Baby Yoda’ by Star Wars fans, but The Mandalorian is actually set after the events of Return of The Jedi and, thus, cannot be the wee oracle.
Whatever, we are just one of the millions of fans who would happily give up everything they own for the little one.
Next to nothing is known about Yoda’s species – we only ever saw another creature like him in the prequel trilogy with a character named Yaddle.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until Disney+ launches in the UK in March 2020 before we can watch The Mandalorian.
The Mandalorian is available to stream in the US on Disney Plus.

Toolset as Code
Declare which build and/or development tools are needed in code, rather than in a README file.
Easy onboarding
Bootstrapping a development environment is as easy as running dockerized shell
.
No more "Works on my machine"
No more "Works on my machine" because everyone in the team is using exactly the same toolset.
Consistency with CI
Your CI can use exactly the same toolset as your developers.
Isolated environments
No need for nvm
, virtualenv
, SDKMAN
, and such. Each
development environment is isolated.
Simple
You no longer need to maintain messy docker run
commands yourself.
Seamless
Just prepend any command with dockerized exec
.
Visual Studio Code
"dockerized" complements VS Code and can use the Remote Container you already configured.
Opt in
You can use the "dockerized" development environment, or set up one directly on your machine. Unlike other tools "dockerized" is a non-intrusive guest on your machine.
Caching
"dockerized" can cache the build environment to speed up builds on CI pipelines.

Ellsberg: Lies the government tells you
Editor and Publisher | Submitted by: Straight Peaceful
Ellsberg interview, the guy who released the Pentagon Papers: "The first lie is: Saddam represents the No. 1 danger to U.S. security in the world. To allow the president and Rumsfeld to make that statement over and over is akin to them saying without challenge from the press that they accept the flat-earth theory. To say Saddam is the No. 1 danger is being made without real challenge from the press, with few exceptions. More dangerous than al-Qaida? North Korea? Russian nukes loose in the world? An India-Pakistan nuclear war?
This government, like in Vietnam, is lying us into a war. Like Vietnam, it's a reckless, unnecessary war, where the risks greatly outweigh any possible benefits. I'd make this argument to insiders: Don't do what I did.  Tell the truth before the bombs are falling, while there's still a chance to do something about it."

And domestic animals characteristically have smaller heads, teeth, and horns, and go into heat more frequently. What is remarkable about these differences is that they are so universal.

[gecode-users] Combination of symmetries in LDSB.
Bouchene Sabrina
genius_linda1987 at yahoo.fr
Wed Oct 1 11:38:51 CEST 2014
Hi,
I have a question please about combination of symmetries:
suppose th probleme have the symmetric groupe: Gn = Dn*Z2.
for example:
- Dn: Consist on n rotation of rows of a Matrix and n permutations of specified rows or specified columns of the Matrix .
and
- Z2 = {id, rev}= {+1, -1}. id = +1, rev = -1./
rev represent the possibility of reflection of columns of the Matrix.
So my question is: How to do this combinaition ? how to post the combinaition of this 3 forms of symmetries in the branch function, i must post each one independently or i post them in the same time ?. it means in general, how to post this the combinaition of these forms of symmetries:
examples:
combination of this form: Combination A = (Sym a + Sym b).
or combination of this form: Combination B = (Sym a * Sym b).
I hope that my question is clear.
Thank you,
Cordially.

This was my first time on shrooms, and I was really looking forward to it. My friend, Hank, an experienced shroomer, was there to sit me, as well as a bunch of other friends who had never done it before, but wanted to watch. I drank down 2 grams with some cranberry juice and just hung out in my room for a while. My friend Melissa came by and she also took 2 grams.
After about an hour, I wasn’t feeling much of anything except drunkenness. I was just dizzy and numb. Hank told me it would help if I went for a walk and got the blood flowing, so the whole gang of us headed out across campus at night. I was quickly overcome with an intense feeling of happiness. I couldn’t stop smiling, no matter how hard I tried, and I would laugh loud and hysterically at virtually anything. I still wasn’t getting any visuals though, which kind of had me disappointed. I would soon learn that patience pays off.
Melissa was getting an uncomfortable vibe from the “spectator” people, so she left us and went back to her room by herself. We were all getting cold, so we went inside to my friend Alex’s room. He’s an artist and does virtually all of his work while hallucinating. We stood and talked for a little while, before it finally hit me. As I was standing next to his dresser, the patterns in the wood grain started waving and sliding. I was elated and enthralled by them.
I started looking around the room and the walls and floor were moving too. Alex gave me a book of some of his work and I stared at them all for what seemed like hours. The colors were so bright and fantastic and they were swirling around into beautiful mosaics. Eventually some of them took on recognizable shapes, like faces, or animals. One pattern looked like a green mermaid playing a trumpet. In a landscape picture, I could see the ground waving like grass blowing in the wind, and the rocks and mountains were three-dimensional.
I looked down at my hand and it was as if I could see all the blood cells running under my skin. They were those familiar doughnut-shaped red blood cells, only about the size of a dime. Later in the night, I saw the same thing in my face in the mirror, as well as a complete twisting and bending of my face. I was wearing a plaid shirt, and that was a constant source of awesome visions.
Back in Hank’s room, his brown shag carpet became a thousand tiny caterpillars crawling around on the floor. I then looked down at my legs and found a gold mine of visions hiding in my blue jeans. First, there were faces. Lots of them, swimming all over my pants and looking back at me, smiling. On my right thigh, one formed into the face of Jesus Christ. He also looked like he was having a good time. My friends of course were laughing and enjoying the show the whole night, but when I yelled out “I can see Jesus in my blue jeans!” they practically pissed their pants.
After looking around at the room some more, I went back to my jeans, only this time I saw words. I couldn’t read them, but they were in large, blocky text that reminded me of newspaper headlines. They then formed into some kind of runic language. It reminded me of old Norse or something. Then there was another face. Oddly enough, in the exact same place as Jesus, I saw a man with a rectangular head, square glasses over his eyes, and a triangular mouth. His head kept growing taller and taller, and a second set of eyes sprang up out of the first.
My entourage had significantly dwindled by this time. The two girls who were watching, Jessica and April, had gone off to see a movie. Hank and Mike were the only ones left. We went back to my room and I proceeded to stare at a map of the world I had hanging on my wall. The countries were all changing shapes and sizes, and the map would sink way back into the wall at spots, or come out in big bumps at others. I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling tiles. There were more faces there, chubby people with big cheeks and double chins. The rounded, cartoony shape of them reminded me of Mario and Luigi, but without the moustaches. The wood grain in my furniture was all melting and dripping, I reached to touch it, expecting it to feel soft and gooey, but of course it didn’t.
Mike put on a movie called Killing Zoe while I was lost in another hallucination.  We watched almost the whole movie, but it was kind of unsettling for me. Lots of anger and violence. I was able to keep myself under control, but I think next time I’ll definitely want to watch something friendlier. Something G-rated. I actually didn’t pay a lot of attention to it. I was too busy staring at the map and the bedspread.
It was about this time we started to worry about Melissa. We assumed she was alone, and thought she might be off somewhere having a terrible trip. I tried to call her, but was entirely unable to stop laughing hysterically. I left a message on her machine about 2 minutes long of insane babblings. Later, Hank called her and she actually picked up. He said she sounded very out of it, very lost.
Time was a complete mystery to me at this point. I felt as if I had been tripping for days but it was only a couple of hours. I’m not sure how late it was when Mike called her again. This time she sounded really bad, and he tried for a long time to get any kind of response from her other than “uh huh”.  I really think environment is what determines the enjoyment of your trip. I was surrounded by good friends and we were all laughing and talking and having a great time. She was alone in her dorm room, thinking and doing god knows what. The fact that I had an awesome time was definitely 100% to do with the good environment.
After about 4 hours of tripping (real time, that is. It seemed like 10 hours to me) I was starting to come down. I wasn’t getting as many visuals anymore, and while I still felt great, I wasn’t laughing constantly anymore. Hank and I went back to Alex’s place and smoked some weed in his van, which really brought back the shroom high for a while. Hank and I sat in his room watching old dubbed kung-fu movies. I was so tranquilized I couldn’t move, but the visuals were definitely back. The screen really glowed bright, to the point where it was almost hurting my eyes. I leaned back and looked up at the ceiling. There were a thousand mouths, just lips and big toothy grins in rows floating across the ceiling.
The shroom effects wore off again but I was still really baked. We ate a bunch of food and then I went home to pass out. I got up in the morning, Melissa came and told me about her awful night, and I sat down and wrote this trip report.

Meet I'm A Celebrity's Andy Whyment and Cliff Parisi as two new campmates enter jungle
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly told the current contestants that two new people were heading into the camp
by James Rodger, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistActors Andy Whyment and Cliff Parisi are heading into the I'm A Celebrity jungle, it has been announced.
The actors' arrival was teased at the end of Wednesday night's instalment of the ITV show.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly told the current contestants that two new people were heading into the camp.
The newcomers will become outlaws, meeting for the first time in a Bushtucker trial in Ol' Dingo Town.
Over the coming days, all Bushtuckers will take part in the Wild West-themed town.
Whyment, 38, who is known for playing Kirk Sutherland on Coronation Street and Darren in The Royle Family, confessed to having "absolutely no survival skills" ahead of his stint on the show.
Parisi - who starred as Minty in EastEnders and plays handyman Fred in Call The Midwife - said he was concerned that the other contestants have already bonded.

The pair will be joining the current 10 contestants, including US reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner, former footballer Ian Wright, Rak-Su singer Myles Stephenson, former Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle and Big Brother's Adele Roberts.
Comedian Andrew Maxwell, actress Jacqueline Jossa, DJ Roman Kemp, rugby star James Haskell and Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway are also roughing it in the Australian jungle.
I'm A Celebrity continues on ITV.
