Sky Sports presenter Hayley McQueen embraces post-baby body
The 39-year-old took to social media to share a picture four weeks after giving birth to her first child
by Jacob Murtagh, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/jacob-murtagh/Hayley McQueen has shared a picture of her post-baby body just four weeks after giving birth.
The Sky Sports presenter and her partner Kirk Newmann recently welcomed their daughter Ayla into the world.
McQueen, who gave birth by C-section, took to social media to share two pictures with her 176,000 followers.
She wrote: "Once upon a time I’d have been terrified about stretch marks & excessive weight gain.
"But the only weight I’ve cared about for the last 10 months has been the healthy weight of my unborn baby.
"I’ve had a couple of negative comments on here from people about this very topic so here I am to address that.
"It’s taken 39 years for me to post a picture in underwear, I’m at my heaviest but also at my absolute happiest.
"I can contently look in the mirror at my puffy belly, the overhang above my stitches, stretch marks & scars & feel so proud of what my body has given me."
McQueen added: "My Instagram paints a picture of newborn bliss.
"Yes Ayla is an angel & a very easy baby thankfully but in reality C section recovery is tough.
"I was in a world of pain the 1st week, didn’t leave my bedroom for 6 days, just walking to the toilet knocked me breathless.
"Don’t even talk to me about looking at the stitches or the splitting & pulling from previous surgery.
"The MRSA meant I had to shower with hospital scrub & wash my hair every single day!

"Oh & my nipples are still raw. Even 4 weeks on I’ve had sudden heavy bleeding so bad it’s knocked me sick."

2) Jupyter notebooks¶
Related links:
- About jupyter notebooks: https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
- Jupyter notebook tips & tricks: https://www.dataquest.io/blog/jupyter-notebook-tips-tricks-shortcuts/
- About markdown: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
Why Jupyter notebooks?¶
Jupyter notebooks (formerly ipython notebooks) provide convenient platforms for getting to know python (or one of the other languages supported by them, including R and Julia–see FYI), especially for making and going through tutorials.
FYI: The name Jupyter is an indirect acronyum of the three core languages it was designed for: JUlia, PYThon, and R and is inspired by the planet Jupiter.
Some great examples of the use of juypter notebooks for sharing knowledge and tutorials include:
All class notes and homework assignments in this course are created as jupyter notebooks. As you have seen, they can be rendered into html, or we can work with them directly as notebooks. You will be creating and editing notebooks throughout this class.
To run jupyter notebooks, you must have python installed. To check if you have it installed, you can type:
$ which pythonIf you have python installed:¶
It will tell you were it is installed. Skip the next section.
Otherwise, nothing will be returned.
If you do not have python installed:¶
I highly recommend using conda to do so.
Download and install miniconda for Python3, 32 or 64 bit depending on your system, from http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html
For Windows users, who do not know what to choose for 32 or 64 bit, it is strongly recommended to read the second question of this FAQ first: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows
Run the installer and select yes to add conda to the PATH variable.
If you have installed from a Linux shell, either open a new shell to have an updated PATH, or update your PATH variable by source ~/.bashrc (or .tcsh, .csh - whichever shell you are using).
Checking your version¶
Now, whether you just installed python or already had it installed,
check the version by entering the command python -V
or
python --version
. Anything 3.4 or above it good for this class.
A note on organization¶
It is always easiest to start with organization in mind, rather than make many files and then think about how you want them named and organized. Practice organization with files you use for this class! We will talk more about this at a few different points in this class.
Creating a new jupyter notebook¶
The first step is to see if you have this capability installed already
(it likely is). Again, we’ll use the which jupyter
trick to quickly
check if you have jupyter installed. If not, install it with conda:
FYI: You can use jupyter notebooks with multiple versions of python, R, and Julia. We will only use python 3 and markdown (simple language for text formatting) in our notebooks for this class. If you are interested in other capability, see https://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-kernel.html
In your terminal window, nativate to a good place for saving jupyter
notebooks that you create and edit. Save a copy of HW01.ipynb
and
lecture01_shell.ipynb
to that directory. You can download it from
github or from Canvas. We’ll start by exploring these notebooks, as well
as creating a new notebook. Launch jupyter notebooks by entering the
command:
You see something like the following in your terminal window:
truffle:2_notebooks hbmayes$ jupyter notebook [I 17:28:55.267 NotebookApp] Serving notebooks from local directory: /Users/hbmayes/bee/code/latex/che_696_private/practice/2_notebooks [I 17:28:55.267 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels [I 17:28:55.267 NotebookApp] The Jupyter Notebook is running at: http://localhost:8890/?token=89e889e0edd31f172b8d74a30c196a3fac04a0c262395f4d [I 17:28:55.267 NotebookApp] Use Control-C to stop this server and shut down all kernels (twice to skip confirmation).And in your default browser, a new window with a screen like this:
Click on the “New” dropdown. You only need to have python 3 as an option:
Select that option, and a new window with a new notebook will be launched:
Note the dropdown menu with different options for each “cell”. Change the first cell to “Markdown” from the default initial “code”. Type something in the first cell. Rename the file. Save it, then from the file menu, let’s select “Halt and Close”. We’ll explore the two existing notebooks before returning to this practice notebook. Open “HW01.ipynb”.
Edit and command modes¶
The keyboard icon takes you to a list of keyboard commands that will save you time. There are many “cheatsheets” you can reference (use if you find any useful), including:
- https://www.cheatography.com/weidadeyue/cheat-sheets/jupyter-notebook/pdf_bw/
- https://kapeli.com/cheat_sheets/iPython_Notebook.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/index
- http://datacamp-community.s3.amazonaws.com/48093c40-5303-45f4-bbf9-0c96c0133c40
As with vim there is a command mode and an edit (insert) mode.  The pencil (or lack thereof) indicates if
you are in edit mode (or not).
Edit mode allows you to use keystrokes to change the type of cell, insert cells, etc., more quickly than switching to the mouse and using the GUI options.
The code
cells would be for running python. Since we have not yet
begun covering python, my notebooks so far only are either markdown
or RawNBConvert
. I use the second type of option for showing code
snippits. My explanations, rants, and raves are in markdown
cells.
FYI: The default cell type for a new cell is code
. Want to change
that? Follow these instructions:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40382454/jupyter-notebook-new-cell-type-default
What is Markdown?¶
For a full definition and guide, see https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ There is also a nice informal definition on Wikipedia:
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
This ability to have easy-to-format text that lends well to conversion to html is why I’m making my class notes in jupyter notebooks, and why I think they are great for writing tutorials.
Some potentialy useful cheatsheets on markdown:
- https://guides.github.com/pdfs/markdown-cheatsheet-online.pdf https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSAS34_1.1.3/analyze-data/markd-jupyter.html
- https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/
In addition to using notebooks for class notes and HW, we will start programming Python in notebooks, before switching over to using an IDE (integrated development environment).
Extensions to jupyter notebooks¶
FYI There are available unofficial extensions to jupyter notebooks. I, for example, would like to have my spelling checked.
Here is how to install this capability:
$ pip install https://github.com/ipython-contrib/jupyter_contrib_nbextensions/tarball/master $ pip install jupyter_nbextensions_configurator $ jupyter contrib nbextension install --user $ jupyter nbextensions_configurator enable --userNow to enable the spellchecker extension:
$ jupyter nbextension enable spellchecker/mainOne last cool note about ipynbs, for those who love LaTex¶
Beautiful equations can written in Markdown cells using LaTex surrounded
by \\\( ... \\\)
or surrounded by single dollar signs ($) for
in-line code and double for rendering on a new line. For example:
Will be rendered as: \( P(A :raw-latex:`\mid `B) = :raw-latex:`frac{P(B mid A) , P(A)}{P(B)}` \)
If surrounded by $’s: \(( P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(B \mid A) \, P(A)}{P(B)}\)
If surrounded by $$’s:
While I did not add LaTex to our quite-full syllabus, I highly recommend it.

IntroductionThis document provides a brief guide to custom handling of redirects with HttpClient. There are a few types of redirect that HttpClient can't handle automatically either because they require user interaction, or they are outside of the scope of HttpClient (these status codes are listed below), or due to internal limitations. Currently HttpClient is unable to automatically handle redirects of entity enclosing methods such as POST and PUT. There can also be situations when manual processing of redirects is desired due to specific application requirements. Handling redirects manuallyAll response codes between 300 and 399 inclusive are redirect responses of some form. The most common redirect response codes are:
Note: there are a number of response codes in the 3xx range which do not simply indicate a different URI to send the request to. These response codes are listed below and the manner they are handled will be application specific. When your application receives one of the "simple" redirect responses, it should extract the new URL from the HttpMethod object and retry downloading from that URL. Additionally, it is usually a good idea to limit the number of redirects that will be followed in case the redirects form a recursive loop. The URL to connect to can be extracted from the Location header. String redirectLocation; Header locationHeader = method.getResponseHeader("location"); if (locationHeader != null) { redirectLocation = locationHeader.getValue(); } else { // The response is invalid and did not provide the new location for // the resource. Report an error or possibly handle the response // like a 404 Not Found error. } Once you have determined the new location, you can reattempt the connection as normal. See the Tutorial for more information on this. Special Redirect CodesThe HTTP specification defines a number of somewhat unusual redirect response codes that will likely need to be handled in a different manner to the codes above. In particular these are:

--------------
**munge**: /muhnj/, vt.
1. [derogatory] To imperfectly transform information.
2. A comprehensive rewrite of a routine, data structure or the whole
program.
3. To modify data in some way the speaker doesn't need to go into right
now or cannot describe succinctly (compare `*mumble* `__).
4. To add `*spamblock* <../S/spamblock.html>`__ to an email address.
This term is often confused with `*mung* `__, which probably
was derived from it. However, it also appears the word munge was in
common use in Scotland in the 1940s, and in Yorkshire in the 1950s, as a
verb, meaning to munch up into a masticated mess, and as a noun, meaning
the result of munging something up (the parallel with the
`*kluge* <../K/kluge.html>`__/`*kludge* <../K/kludge.html>`__ pair is
amusing). The OED reports “munge” as an archaic verb meaning “to wipe (a
person's nose)”.

Three generalizations of the synthetic control method (which has already an implementation in package 'Synth') are implemented: first, 'MSCMT' allows for using multiple outcome variables, second, time series can be supplied as economic predictors, and third, a well-defined cross-validation approach can be used. Much effort has been taken to make the implementation as stable as possible (including edge cases) without losing computational efficiency. A detailed description of the main algorithms is given in Becker and Klößner (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.ecosta.2017.08.002>.

The Schur form depends on the order of the eigenvalues on the diagonal
of T and this may optionally be chosen by the user. Suppose the user chooses
that
,
,
appear in the upper left
corner of T. Then the first j columns of Z span the right invariant
subspace of A corresponding to
.
The following routines perform this re-ordering and also
compute condition numbers for eigenvalues, eigenvectors,
and invariant subspaces:
- 1.
- xTREXC will move an eigenvalue (or 2-by-2 block) on the diagonal of
the Schur form from its original position to any other position. It may be used to
choose the order in which eigenvalues appear in the Schur form.
- 2.
- xTRSYL solves
the Sylvester matrix equation
for X, given
matrices A, B and C, with A and B (quasi) triangular.
It is used in the routines xTRSNA and xTRSEN, but it is also of independent
interest.
- 3.
- xTRSNA computes the condition numbers of the eigenvalues and/or
right eigenvectors of a matrix T in Schur form.
These are the same as the condition
numbers of the eigenvalues and right eigenvectors of the original matrix
A from which T is derived. The user may compute these condition numbers
for all eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs, or for any selected subset.
For more details, see section 4.8 and [12].
- 4.
- xTRSEN moves
a selected subset of the eigenvalues of a matrix T
in Schur form to the upper left corner of T, and optionally computes
the condition numbers of their average value and of their right
invariant subspace. These are the same as the condition numbers of the
average eigenvalue and right invariant subspace of the original matrix A
from which T is derived.
For more details, see section 4.8 and
[12]

This is a Rows Garden puzzle with a twist. The first immediate clue that something is off is that there is one fewer row than there ought to be. If we count the "Around" clues and the "More Around" clues, we find that there are ten and fourteen respectively. There are ten white blooms and fourteen each of gray and pink blooms, so not all the blooms can be clued.
Once we make some progress on filling in the words, we may notice that some of the rows seem too short. Moving things around, we eventually must realize that if we place exactly one letter in each pink bloom, the spacing works out. This also lines up nicely with the number of clues we have of each color, and explains the missing top row.
Reading the letters in the red blooms, we get SPINE REALIGNER. Combined with the 12 blanks at the bottom of the puzzle, this clues the answer, CHIROPRACTOR.

"Sam Stone" is a song written by John Prine about a drug-addicted veteran with a Purple Heart and
his death by overdose. It appeared on Prine's eponymous 1971 debut album. The song was originally
titled "Great Society Conflict Veteran's Blues".
The most familiar refrain in the song is "There's a hole in daddy's arm, where all the money goes."
The song is usually interpreted as a reference to the phenomenon of heroin or morphine addiction
among Vietnam war veterans. (An identical surge of addiction followed the Civil War, where morphine
addiction was known as 'Soldiers Disease'). The song does not mention the Vietnam War, saying only
that Sam returned from "serving in the conflict overseas." There is a single explicit reference to
morphine but Prine alludes to heroin on several occasions including the use of the term "habit,"
slang commonly associated with heroin use, and the line "he popped his last balloon," very likely
referring to one of the ways in which street heroin is commonly packaged – in small rubber
balloons.
Sam Stone came home,
To the wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knees.
But the morhpine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back.
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Sam Stone's welcome home
Didn't last too long.
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And soon he took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold roared through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin' other peoples' clothes...
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Sam Stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon,
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair.
Well, he played his last request,
While the room smelled just like death,
With an overdose hovering in the air.
But life had lost it's fun,
There was nothing to be done,
But trade his house that he bought on the GI bill,
For a flag-draped casket on a local hero's hill.
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.

Workplace pensions are sometimes called 'automatic enrolment', 'occupational', 'works', 'company' or 'work-based' pensions.
This data is used to determine whether rewards and benefits act as incentives when it comes to staff retention. It also reveals the type of incentives that are being offered in the sector and how common they are.

Have you ever written your obituary?
Sometimes a simple question changes the course of a life.
April 12, 2015
About a year ago, I was reading Elle Luna's reflection on "Should vs. Must." In the post, she asks if I had ever written my own “obituary.”
I remembered thinking that I’ve always been the type of person who reflects on my goals, and I was happy with where I was in my career. But she challenged me again: “but have you ever actually written it down?”
That week on my flight back to San Francisco, I took out my computer, opened a Word doc, and started to write down what I would want someone to say about me at the end of my life. I thought it would be a simple, but helpful, exercise. As I started typing, I realized I had only thought about my life “counting up.” I had a good sense of my 5 or 10 year plan, but I struggled with the “looking back” view. What would my “80-year-old self” want to say?
At the end of the five hour cross-country fight, I finally finished my obituary, and I felt conflicted. I was content and excited about my current role at in private equity. I’m in a post-MBA position, working with a talented team with a clear career progression. But as I re-read the “obituary,” I realized that even though this role may suit my life right now, staying on this path would not lead to the story I had written.
That day last year marked the beginning of a journey. I needed to figure out what my life “pivot” was going to look like. I explored multiple career paths, talked with mentors, and dug deep into the big experiences that shaped my life to figure out what this move would look like.
Some things haven't radically changed yet: even right now I'm on a plane, writing up this blog post flying to my portfolio company. Nonetheless, some of the macro-conditions things have changed: I only have a couple short weeks left with my private equity role. I started Dev Bootcamp this week and I'm wrapping up all of our first week challenges.
I believe business and technology are going to become more and more integrated across all industries. If you haven't read Marc Andreessen's 2011 article "Software is Eating the World, it's worth it. I think our kids will laugh when we tell them that we had a separate industry called "tech."
Back in my earlier college years, I built a couple of websites, and mobile didn't really exist yet (... think about that). I've spent the last couple years developing my skills in big data analytics, and I decided I wanted to strengthen my programming toolkit. I could not be more excited about this next adventure.
I researched many coding bootcamps, talked with graduates, and caught up with my friends in the industry. After a long diligence process, I settled on DBC as the place for me. The thing that attracted me the most is the emphasis on emotional intelligence. The emphasis on meditation, yoga -- and most importantly, empathy -- was a defining factor. Those elements are a core aspect of the curriculum and also clearly part of the culture. Once I saw this, it was a no-brainer that DBC is where I wanted to spend time to learn these skills.
I believe that the best coders are deeply creative people. They are makers. They take on uncertainty head on. They are comfortable with messiness. They embrace the experiment. They have grit. I admire those traits and I strive to surround myself with others who have this mindset -- I see all of these traits in Dev Bootcamp.
I can't wait to see what this next chapter holds. Honoring the journey and diving in.

c1 Time & Habits Blog
- Timebox and habit techniques I tried:
I read through almost all of them, and also watched one of the two videos. I have tried meditation and mindfulness techniques in the recent past. I found the talk 'Fogg method' enlightening. And so was the article on 'successful people start small'.
- What I found interesting:
The articles on meditation techniques, research and mindfulness were very convincing. I especially liked the description of various parts of the brain, what they do and how they are impacted by quietening the mind I had read about the pomodoro technique before I started my course here and agree with its simple but affective principle.
- Things that worked for me:
Meditation and mindfulness techniques have worked for me in the recent past. I tried the fogg method last night and that was good. As the person said habits take no motivation but they take time to develop. After I read about the Pomodoro technique I realised that I had been applying it in my life already -admittedly not limited myself to twenty-five minutes. I usually get myself to work for about 35-40 mins to 'get the juices going'. And then I usually get too involved to stop.
- I intend to experiment further with:
I intend to continue being regular with the meditation and mindfulness techniques. I have also gone ahead and added two apps - one of which was mentioned in the articles. I will also continue to apply the method of 'adding a tiny habit'. The pomodoro technique warrants continued use even if I use a hacked limit of forty minutes. Being comfortable with starting small would also add more contentment to my life.

So I’ve always had a hate-hate relationship with Magento (there never was love). Ours was a convenient relationship; I needed something to run an online bookstore we wanted to start, and all the other solutions we looked at didn’t fit the bill. We wanted to accept payments in Trinidad and Tobago dollars, something you don’t get easier with hosted solutions. We also wanted something that had broad support and a variety of templates.

Steel-cutting of two navy warships held in China
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/397/the-newspaper-s-staff-reporter, The Newspaper's Staff ReporterKARACHI: The steel-cutting ceremony of two warships of Type 054 A/P Frigates Project being built for Pakistan Navy was held at Hudong Zhonghua (HZ) Shipyard, China, on Friday.
According to a press release, Chief Naval Overseer (CNO) China, Commodore Azfar Humayun of Pakistan Navy and president of the China Shipbuilding Trading Company (CSTC) jointly performed the steel-cutting of the two of the frigates.
Type-054 A/P ships are the state-of-the-art frigates equipped with modern surface, subsurface and anti-air weapons and sensors. Once constructed, these ships will be the most technologically advanced platforms of Pakistan Navy that will strengthen its capability to meet future challenges and maintain peace, stability and power equilibrium in the Indian Ocean region.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest highlighted that this programme was yet another manifestation of the time-tested and ever-growing Pak-China friendship. He also acknowledged the commitment and dedication of the CSTC team.
The ceremony was also attended by officers of Pakistan Navy and representatives/officials of the CSTC and Hudong Zhonghua shipyard.

minisolvers.py
[Hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/liffiton/PyMiniSolvers/]
A Python API for the MiniSat and MiniCard constraint solvers.
- Classes:
- Solver
- An abstract base class for the other classes.
- SubsetMixin
- A mixin class adding ‘subset’ functionality to Solver subclasses.
- MinisatSolver
- Solve CNF instances using MiniSat.
- MinicardSolver
- Solve CNF+ (CNF plus cardinality constraints) using MiniCard.
- MinisatSubsetSolver
- Solve arbitrary subsets of CNF instances and find SAT subsets / UNSAT cores.
- MinicardSubsetSolver
- Solve arbitrary subsets of CNF+ instances and find SAT subsets / UNSAT cores.
-
class minisolvers.MinisatSolver
Bases: minisolvers.Solver
A Python analog to MiniSat’s Solver class.
Create variables using new_var(). Add clauses as list of literals with
add_clause(), analogous to MiniSat’s add_clause(). Literals are
specified as integers, with the magnitude indicating the variable index
(with 1-based counting) and the sign indicating True/False. For example,
to add clauses (x0), (!x1), (!x0 + x1 + !x2), and (x2 + x3):
>>> for i in range(4):
... S.new_var()
0
1
2
3
>>> for clause in [1], [-2], [-1, 2, -3], [3, 4]:
... S.add_clause(clause)
True
True
True
True
The solve() method returns True or False just like MiniSat’s.
Models are returned as arrays of Booleans, indexed by var.
So the following represents x0=True, x1=False, x2=False, x3=True.
>>> list(S.get_model())
[1, 0, 0, 1]
The add_clause() method may return False if a conflict is detected
when adding the clause, even without search.
>>> S.add_clause([-4])
False
>>> S.solve()
False
-
add_clause(lits)
Add a clause to the solver.
- Args:
- lits:
- A list of literals as integers. Each integer specifies a
variable with 1-based counting and a sign via the sign of the
integer. Ex.: [-1, 2, -3] is (!x0 + x1 + !x2)
- Returns:
- A boolean value returned from MiniSat’s addClause() function,
indicating success (True) or conflict (False).
-
get_model(start=0, end=-1)
Get the current model from the solver, optionally retrieving only a slice.
- Args:
- start, end (int):
- Optional start and end indices, interpreted as in range().
- Returns:
- An array of booleans indexed to each variable (from 0). If a start
index was given, the returned list starts at that index (i.e.,
get_model(10)[0] is index 10 from the solver’s model.
-
get_model_trues(start=0, end=-1)
Get variables assigned true in the current model from the solver.
- Args:
- start, end (int):
- Optional start and end indices, interpreted as in range().
- Returns:
- An array of true variables in the solver’s current model. If a
start index was given, the variables are indexed from that value.
-
implies()
Get literals known to be implied by the current formula. (I.e., all
assignments made at level 0.)
- Returns:
- An array of literals.
-
model_value(i)

nclauses()
Get the number of clauses or constraints added to the solver.
-
new_var(polarity=None, dvar=True)
Create a new variable in the solver.

- polarity (bool):
- The default polarity for this variable. True = variable’s
default is True, etc. Note that this is the reverse of the ‘user
polarity’ in MiniSat, where True indicates the sign is True,
hence the default value is False.
- dvar (bool):
- Whether this variable will be used as a decision variable.
- Returns:
- The new variable’s index (0-based counting).
-
nvars()
Get the number of variables created in the solver.
-
set_phase_saving(ps)
Set the level of phase saving (0=none, 1=limited, 2=full (default)).
-
set_rnd_pol(val)
Set whether random polarities are used for decisions (overridden if vars are created with a user polarity other than None)
-
simplify()
Call Solver.simplify().
-
solve(assumptions=None)
Solve the current set of clauses, optionally with a set of assumptions.
- Args:
- assumptions:
- An optional iterable returning literals as integers, specified as
in add_clause().
- Returns:
- True if the clauses (and assumptions) are satisfiable, False otherwise.
-
class minisolvers.MinicardSolver
Bases: minisolvers.Solver
A Python analog to MiniCard’s Solver class.
This has the same interface as MiniSatSolver, with the addition of
the add_atmost() method.
>>> for i in range(4):
... S.new_var()
0
1
2
3
>>> for clause in [1], [-2], [3, 4]:
... S.add_clause(clause)
True
True
True
To add an AtMost constraint, specify the set of literals and the bound. For example, to add AtMost({x0, !x1, x2}, 2):
>>> S.add_atmost([1,-2,3], 2)
True
>>> list(S.get_model())
[1, 0, 0, 1]
As with add_clause(), the add_atmost() method may return False if a
conflict is detected when adding the constraint, even without search.
>>> S.add_atmost([1,-3,4], 2)
False
>>> S.solve()
False
-
add_atmost(lits, k)

-
class minisolvers.MinisatSubsetSolver
Bases: minisolvers.SubsetMixin, minisolvers.MinisatSolver
A class for reasoning about subsets of constraints within MiniSat.
>>> S = MinisatSubsetSolver()
It must be told explicitlyhow many of its variables are “real” and how many
are relaxation variables for constraints.
>>> S.set_varcounts(vars = 4, constraints = 5)
>>> for i in range(4+5):
... _ = S.new_var()
“Soft” clauses are added with add_clause_instrumented(), which has no
return value, as it is impossible for these clauses to produce a conflict.
>>> for i, clause in enumerate([[1], [-2], [-1, 2, 3], [-3], [-1]]):
... S.add_clause_instrumented(clause, i)
Any subset of the constraints can be tested for satisfiability. Subsets
are specified as iterables containing soft clause indexes.

subset can be found. Satisfiable subsets are returned as array objects.
>>> satset = S.sat_subset()
>>> sorted(satset)
[0, 1, 2]
If a subset is found to be unsatisfiable, an UNSAT core can be found.
Cores are returned as array objects.

XMeeting ManualAuthors: Hannes FriederichParts of the text based on the work of Ivan Guajana Last update: June 28, 2006 XMeeting version 0.3 |
Welcome and thank you for choosing XMeeting!
XMeeting is a powerful videoconferencing client that is capable of using
different communication protocols. At the moment, both the H.323 and SIP
protocol stacks are supported.
While we intend to make XMeeting a powerful videoconferencing client that has many professional features, XMeeting has been designed to be easy-to-understand, as much self explanatory as possible and having a good Graphical User Interface (GUI). However, some basic knowledge about videoconferencing is required in order to succesfully use XMeeting. This isn't covered in this manual.
This manual is aimed to explain briefly the main concepts behind XMeeting and how the GUI works. Since XMeeting is an OpenSource project, there may be changes in the application at any time and such a manual may become out-of-date quite fast. We're trying to keep the manual up-to-date with each release, but it may happen that some new features were forgotten or haven't yet made the way into the manual. Therefore, it is important that you give us a feedback as soon as you have found something that needs to be corrected - be it in the application itself or in this manual.
Also, this manual has been written by people who haven't english as their native language. We're very happy about all sort of feedbacks regarding grammar faults, misspelled words or strange formulations!
The XMeeting team
Nowadays, many people use portable computers which they can take anywhere. However, the
network speed may be different at home from at work. In addition, there might be different
Firewall/NAT settings at home as at work. Unfortunately, the network setup has great
influence on the functionality of any H.323/SIP based videoconferencing clients.
It would be very laborous to always go to preferences and change a few parameters just
to make XMeeting work correctly.
Also, it could be that you sometimes might want to use the full network bandwidth available to have best video quality available. But sometimes, you want also to download a huge file in parallel to the ongoing video conference. So, you limit the bandwidth used to a certain value. Of course you can always go to the preferences window, adjust the bandwidth limit and so forth. This isn't very comfortable, however.
Locations
The solution to this is similiar to the solution provided by Apple with the network settings.
One can specify various network locations and easily activate the most appropriate location
on demand.
In XMeeting, a Location encapsulates a whole set of preferences that are likely to change.
A location contains informations about
Accounts
In the H.323 world, one can register at a Gatekeeper so that one can be called using a
phone number or name instead of a network address. In the SIP world, the same service is
provided through the so-called Registrars. Moreover, in the SIP world, it is almost reqired
to use a Registrar.
When registering at either a Gatekeeper or Registrar, one needs to specify account informations
such as usernames, phone number and sometimes passwords as well.
Starting with version 0.2, XMeeting does not store this information directly in the Locations,
but rather in explicit H.323- or SIP Accounts. The locations then "point" to the accounts.
This way, it is possible to have multiple locations, each using the same H.323 account. If you
have to change settings, you do them once instead of once for every location.
If you want to use just one set of preferences, you don't need to worry about such details. The Setup Assistant (see 3. First Launch) will setup everything for you.
When XMeeting is launched for the first time, the Setup Assistant will be launched first
instead of just displaying the main window. This assistant will help you to set up XMeeting.
The assistant will create and configure a Location and - if needed - a H.323 or SIP account.
For more details about what Locations and H.323 / SIP are, please see
2. Locations & Accounts.
Instead of creating a new location, you can also import predefined locations from a file. For more informations about this, please see 6. Importing Locations.
If you abort the Setup Assistant, a default location will be activated which does not provide any functionality. You have then to go to the preferences window and setup XMeeting there.
Main Window
The main window of XMeeting looks as follows:
Status Lamp
Three colors specify the current status of XMeeting:
Green: Everything is O.K.
Orange: Some problems have occurred, but it is still possible to make calls.
Red: Serious problem. XMeeting cannot make or receive any calls.
Pressing the status lamp will open the status window where you can find more detailed
information about what's working or not.
Status Text
Displays some basic status information such as "Idle", "Offline", "Incoming Call".
Active Location
Displays which location is currently active and lets the user activate other locations
Show/Hide local video preview
Shows/hides the preview of the currently active video device (camera, screen)
Show Tools
Shows the Tools Inspector
Show Contacts
Shows the Contacts Inspector
Call Button
Starts calling the remote party
Address Field
To call a remote party, you have to enter it's address here. While you type, XMeeting
will display all addresses that match the address you've entered so far.
The icon to the left side represents which type of address you have entered. If, for example,
the address you have entered is among the recently called addresses, a different icon will
be shown than the default one. Moreover, the icon represents which protocol (H.323 or SIP)
will be used when you actually make a call.
If you press the button at the right side, opens a menu where all addresses contained in
XMeeting's address database are listed. This database consists of the 10 last called addresses
as well as all addresses contained in the Address Book.
Choosing the call protocol (H.323 or SIP)
Since XMeeting can do both H.323 and SIP, you must always specify which protocol to use
when making a call. If just one protocol is enabled, the correct protocol will be chosen
by default. You can always select any protocol, even if this protocol isn't enabled at the
moment. However, you will see an error message if you try to make a call in this case.
Choosing which protocol to use can be done in different ways:
In Call controls
While being in a call, the contents of the main window described above are replaced by the
remote video view. To control settings while in a call or to hang up the call, you have to
use the In-Call controls. When you move the mouse over the lower part of the remote video view,
these controls will appear:
Toggle Fullscreen
Switches to and from Fullscreen mode
Toggle Picture-in-Picture
If Picture-in-Picture is on, not only the remote video but also your local video will be
displayed. How the local video is displayed depends on the settings of the Picture-in-Picture
mode.
Picture-in-Picture mode
Switches between the various picture-in-picture modes. The following modes are available:
Show Inspector
Shows the Info Inspector
Show Tools
Shows the Tools Inspector
Mute / Unmute
Mutes / unmutes the local microphone
Hangup
Clears the current call
Contacts
The Contacts Inspector manages all sorts of contacts, be it SIP contacts (not supported yet)
or contacts stored in the Address Book database.
Address Book
The Address Book tool lets you manage your contacts stored in the Address Book database. You can
add new persons, add H.323 or SIP addresses to existing persons and edit the addresses stored.
When editing addresses, you always have to specify which protocol this address belongs to. The
label may help identify what kind of address this is. For more details about labels, please
have a look at the built-in help of the Address Book application.
In case of a H.323 address, you can also attach some extra information to the calling address itself. You can force XMeeting to use a specific Gatekeeper whenever you call this address. In most cases, this feature isn't necessary, but it may be useful for testing purposes. One could do the same by having two H.323 accounts for two different Gatekeepers and two locations that point to the accounts, but this approach here is much more convenient.
Info Inspector
The Info Inspector displays useful informations about the network status, current and recent
calls.
Status
Detailed information about the network status in general as well as informations to the status
of the H.323 and SIP protocol stacks are displayed here.
Statistics
While being in a call, useful call statistics such as codecs used, bandwidth used and round
trip delay are displayed here.
History
All calls made/received since the application launch are listed here. They can be inspected more
closely, providing many details such as call duration, codecs used etc.
The Log logs all sorts of activities and events that occured while XMeeting was running
Tools Inspector
The Tools Inspector provides tools for controlling audio and video, both locally and on the
remote side.
Audio/Video Control
This tool lets you select audio/video devices, adjust the volume and video settings.
Remote Control
This tool provides a Dial Pad for dialing numbers while being in a call. The arrow keys let
you control the remote camera (if supported) or navigate through a conference list when being
connected to a Codian MCU
This section briefly discusses all settings available in the preferences window
General
Contains application-wide settings such as Display Name and debug options.
Generate debug log
When reporting connection problems such as no video/audio, bad video, crashes etc,
a debug log can provide helpful informations. Usually, you don't have to activate this feature.
Appearance
This section manages the appearance of XMeeting. You can specify how XMeeting should behave
when there is an incoming call etc.
Show self view mirrored
Some people like to see how it does look when they're gesturing. The local video preview does not
display the image as if you were looking at at mirror. Optionally, you can tell XMeeting to show
the local video as if you're looking at a mirror.
Accounts
This section lets you manage both H.323 and SIP accounts.
Locations
The locations view lets you edit the locations of XMeeting.
At the left side, you can choose which location to edit. This location's settings are then
displayed in the right side.
You can also create new locations here, duplicate or delete existing locations and import
locations from a file. (See 6. Importing Locations)
Network
Here, you can set bandwidth restrictions and other network relevant settings. If you
are behind a NAT, you probably have to enable STUN, or you will not get audio/video streams
from the remote party. Another option to ensure NAT traversal is the usage of IP
address translation. In this case, you may have to enable Port Forwarding in the NAT device
in order to make calls work.
H.323
Lets you enable/disable H.323 for this location. There you can also choose which H.323 account
to use for this location (if H.323 is enabled)
SIP
Lets you choose which SIP account to use and which proxy settings to use.
Audio
Lets you enable/disable audio codecs and set preferred audio codec order. Using a larger audio
buffer may result in a better audio quality - at the expense of an increased delay.
(This feature is not yet implemented)
Video
Although XMeeting is designed as a Video conferencing application, you can disable video
to make audio-only calls.
You can also set at which framerate XMeeting should send video frames. Choosing a lower
value may give you better video quality at the expense of less smooth video movements.
However, if you choose a certain framerate, XMeeting may send at a lower framerate,
depending on the active video device and the remote party's settings.
The available video codecs can be sorted and activated/deactivated to fit your needs.
The Enable H.264 Limited Mode option enables a special mode for H.264 that is not
100% standard compliant to enable sending H.264. Some endpoints may have problems decoding
the H.264 video stream sent by XMeeting. If this feature is off, XMeeting will not send
H.264 in most cases - even if the remote endpoint has H.264 enabled. Making a conference
from XMeeting to XMeeting will always work using H.264 if H.264 is enabled on both sides.
Video Input
XMeeting uses a modular approach for providing video input devices. Each module can be
activated / deactivated. The Live Camera Module is the default and most useful
module. This module provides input from all QuickTime compatible cameras.
The second available module, the Still Image Module provides the ability to send
pictures from a file. You can choose which image to send and how the image should be
rendered. This module is off by default, to enable select Preferences-> Video Input.
The third available module, the Screen Module provides the ability to send the
screen content instead. In multi-screen systems you must select the screen to send. This
module is off by default, to enable select Preferences -> Video Input.
Note: Video input devices can be switched during live connections.
Other modules are planned, including Movie files.
Address Book
This section allows you to control the Address Book integration of XMeeting. XMeeting
has a powerful Address Book integration that helps you managing your contacts.
XMeeting has a quite powerful facility for importing locations from a file. If the user chooses to import locations from a file, be it either at the first application launch or within the preferences window, the Setup Assistant will ask just the information that is missing for the imported locations. This feature makes it extremely useful to ship XMeeting within a company, as the System Administrator can prepare a location that has correct network, bandwidth and video settings. All that remains for the user is to enter the personal gatekeeper settings (username / phone number). When importing such a location file, the Setup Assistant will ask precisely for this information, skipping all the rest.

Percentage of workers who commute by driving alone
Commuting to and from work constitutes approximately 30% of household-related vehicle miles travelled, and driving alone is the least energy-efficient commuting mode. In addition to conserving resources, reducing the number of commuters driving alone can reduce road congestion, lower the likelihood of traffic accidents, improve air quality and public health, reduce land used for parking in job centers, and reduce transportation costs for households.
The use of alternative commuting modes - carpool, public transit, walking and biking - is dependent on the mix of land uses in an area, proximity to transit stops and convenience of routes, and availability of sidewalks, trails and bike lanes. Understanding commuting patterns can guide transportation strategies and help identify needed infrastructure improvements to support alternative commuting modes.
####How are we doing? The percentage of Mecklenburg County workers who drive alone to and from work has remained relatively stable over time, even with an increase in transportation options and improved bike and pedestrian infrastructure. In 2013, 77% of workers in Mecklenburg County commuted by driving alone, on par with the national (76%) and slightly lower than the state (81%) percentages, but much higher than some other major metropolitan areas including Seattle, Washington, Boston, San Francisco and New York, all with drive-alone shares under 70%.
Note: The values for Mecklenburg County used in the previous paragraph are from the American Community Survey 2013 1-Year estimates, which provide the most current and reliable estimates at the county level. These values may differ from the county value displayed on the dashboard, which is calculated from the NPA values using the American Community Survey 5-Year estimates. Click here to learn more on the difference between 1-and 5-year estimates.
####Did you know? These data only include workers who commute from within Mecklenburg County. There are an additional 180,000 people that commute from surrounding counties to work in Mecklenburg each day, most coming from Union County (37,000), closely followed by York (29,000), Cabarrus (29,000), and Gaston (26,000).
