Section 4 Wind and Pollution Roses
The wind rose is a very useful way of summarising meteorological
data. It is particularly useful for showing how wind speed and wind
direction conditions vary by year. The windRose
function can
plot wind roses in a variety of ways: summarising all available wind
speed and wind direction data, plotting individual wind roses by year,
and also by month. The latter is useful for considering how
meteorological conditions vary by season.
Data are summarised by direction, typically by 45 or 30\(^\circ\) and by different wind speed categories. Typically, wind speeds are represented by different width ‘paddles’. The plots show the proportion (here represented as a percentage) of time that the wind is from a certain angle and wind speed range.
The windRose
function also calculates the percentage of
‘calms’ i.e. when the wind speed is zero. UK Met Office data assigns
these periods to 0 degrees wind direction with valid northerly winds
being assigned to 360\(^\circ\).
The windRose
function will also correct for bias when wind
directions are rounded to the nearest 10 degrees but are displayed at
angles that 10 degrees is not exactly divisible into e.g. 22.5\(^\circ\). When such data are binned, some angles i.e. N, E, S, W will
comprise three intervals whereas others will comprise two, which can
lead to significant bias. This issue and its solution is discussed by
Droppo and Napier (2008) and Applequist (2012).1
openair uses a simple method to correct for the bias by globally
rescaling the count in each wind direction bin by the number of
directions it represents relative to the average. Thus, the primary
four directions are each reduced by a factor of 0.75 and the remaining
12 directions are multiplied by 1.125.
4.1 Example of use
First we load the packages:
library(openair)
library(tidyverse)
The function is very simply called as shown for Figure 4.1.
windRose(mydata)
Figure 4.2 highlights some interesting differences
between the years. In 2000, for example, there were numerous occasions
when the wind was from the SSW and 2003 clearly had more occasions
when the wind was easterly. It can also be useful to use type = "month"
to get an idea of how wind speed and direction vary
seasonally.
windRose(mydata, type = "year", layout = c(4, 2))
The type
option is very flexible in openair and can be used to
quickly consider the dependencies between
variables. Section ?? describes the basis of this option in
openair plot. As an example, consider the question: what are the
meteorological conditions that control high and low concentrations of
PM10? By setting type = "pm10"
, openair will split the PM10
concentrations into four quantiles i.e. roughly equal numbers
of points in each level. The plot will then show four different wind
roses for each quantile level, although the default number of levels
can be set by the user — see ?cutData
for more
details. Figure 4.3 shows the results of setting
type = "pm10"
. For the lowest concentrations of PM10 the wind
direction is dominated by northerly winds, and relatively low wind
speeds. By contrast, the highest concentrations (plot furthest right)
are dominated by relatively strong winds from the south-west. It is
therefore very easy to obtain a good idea about the conditions that
tend to lead to high (or low) concentrations of a
pollutant. Furthermore, the type
option is available in almost
all openair functions.
windRose(mydata, type = "pm10", layout = c(4, 1))
A comparison of the effect that bias has can be seen by plotting the following. Note the prominent frequencies for W, E and N in particular that are due to the bias issue discussed by Applequist (2012).
## no bias correction
windRose(mydata, angle = 22.5, bias.corr = FALSE)
## bias correction (the default)
windRose(mydata, angle = 22.5)
pollutionRose
is a variant of windRose
that is useful for
considering pollutant concentrations by wind direction, or more
specifically the percentage time the concentration is in a particular
range. This type of approach can be very informative for air
pollutant species, as demonstrated by Ronald Henry and co-authors in Henry et al. (2009).
You can produce similar pollution roses using the pollutionRose
function in recent versions of openair, e.g. as in Figure
4.4:
pollutionRose(mydata, pollutant = "nox")
pollutionRose
is wrapper for windRose
. It simply
replaces the wind speed data series in the supplied data set with
another variable using the argument pollutant
before passing
that on to windRose
. It also modifies breaks
to estimate a
sensible set of break points for that pollutant and uses a slightly
different set of default options (key to right, wedge style plot) but
otherwise handles arguments just like the parent windRose
function.
While Figure 4.4 indicates that higher NOx concentrations are also associated with the SW, conditioning allows you to be much informative. For example, conditioning by SO2 (Figure 4.5 demonstrates that higher NOx concentrations are associated with the SW and much of the higher SO2 concentrations. However, it also highlights a notable NOx contribution from the E, most apparent at highest SO2 concentrations that is obscured in Figure 4.4 by a relatively high NOx background (Figure 4.5.
pollutionRose(mydata, pollutant = "nox",
type = "so2",
layout = c(4, 1))
pollutionRose
can also usefully be used to show which wind
directions dominate the overall concentrations. By supplying the
option statistic = "prop.mean"
(proportion contribution to the
mean), a good idea can be gained as to which wind directions
contribute most to overall concentrations, as well as providing
information on the different concentration levels. A simple plot is
shown in Figure 4.6, which clearly shows the dominance
of south-westerly winds controlling the overall mean NOx
concentrations at this site. Indeed, almost half the overall NOx
concentration is contributed by two wind sectors to the
south-west. The polarFreq
function can also show this sort of
information, but the pollution rose is more effective because both
length and colour are used to show the contribution. These plots are
very useful for understanding which wind directions control the
overall mean concentrations.
pollutionRose(mydata, pollutant = "nox", statistic = "prop.mean")
It is sometimes useful to more clearly understand the contributions from wind directions that have low frequencies. For example, for a pollution rose of SO2 there are few occurrences of easterly winds making it difficult to see how the concentration intervals are made up. Try:
pollutionRose(mydata, pollutant = "so2", seg = 1)
However, each wind sector can be normalised to give a probability between 0 and 1 to help show the variation within each wind sector more clearly. An example is shown in Figure 4.7 where for easterly winds it is now clearer that a greater proportion of the time the concentration is made up of high SO2 concentrations. In this plot each wind sector is scaled between 0 and 1. Also shown with a black like is an indication of the wind direction frequency to remind us that winds from the east occur with a low frequency.
pollutionRose(mydata, pollutant = "so2", normalise = TRUE, seg = 1)
4.2 Comparing two meteorological data sets
The pollutionRose
function is also useful for comparing two
meteorological data sets. In this case a ‘reference’ data set is
compared with a second data set. There are many reasons for doing so
e.g. to see how one site compares with another or for meteorological
model evaluation (more on that in later sections). In this case,
ws
and wd
are considered to the the reference data sets
with which a second set of wind speed and wind directions are to be
compared (ws2
and wd2
). The first set of values is
subtracted from the second and the differences compared. If for
example, wd2
was biased positive compared with wd
then
pollutionRose
will show the bias in polar coordinates. In its
default use, wind direction bias is colour-coded to show negative bias
in one colour and positive bias in another.
Note that this plot is mostly aimed at showing wind direction biases. It does also show the wind speed bias but only if there is a wind direction bias also. However, in most practical situations the plot should show both wind speed and direction biases together. An example of a situation where no wind speed bias would be shown would be for westerly winds where there was absolutely no bias between two data sets in terms of westerly wind direction but there was a difference in wind speed. Users should be aware of this limitation.
In the next example, some artificial wind direction data are generated by adding a positive bias of 30~degrees with some normally distributed scatter. Also, the wind speed data are given a positive bias. The results are shown in Figure 4.8. The Figure clearly shows the mean positive bias in wind direction i.e. the direction is displaced from north (no bias). The colour scale also shows the extent to which wind speeds are biased i.e. there is a higher proportion of positively biased wind speeds shown by the red colour compared with the negatively biased shown in blue. Also shown in Figure 4.8 is the mean wind speed and direction bias as numerical values.
Note that the type
option can be used in Figure
4.8 e.g. type = "month"
to split the
analysis in useful ways. This is useful if one wanted to see whether a
site or the output from a model was biased for different periods. For
example, type = "daylight"
would show whether there are biases
between nighttime and daytime conditions.
## $example of comparing 2 met sites
## first we will make some new ws/wd data with a postive bias
mutate(mydata,
mydata <-ws2 = ws + 2 * rnorm(nrow(mydata)) + 1,
wd2 = wd + 30 * rnorm(nrow(mydata)) + 30)
## need to correct negative wd
which(mydata$wd2 < 0)
id <-$wd2[id] <- mydata$wd2[id] + 360
mydata
## results show postive bias in wd and ws
pollutionRose(mydata,
ws = "ws",
wd = "wd",
ws2 = "ws2",
wd2 = "wd2",
grid.line = 5)
An example of using user-supplied breaks is shown in Figure 4.9. In this case six intervals are chosen including one that spans -0.5 to +0.5 that is useful to show wind speeds that do not change.
## add some wd bias to some nighttime hours
which(as.numeric(format(mydata$date, "%H")) %in% c(23, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
id <-$wd2[id] <- mydata$wd[id] + 30 * rnorm(length(id)) + 120
mydata which(mydata$wd2 < 0)
id <-$wd2[id] <- mydata$wd2[id] + 360
mydata
pollutionRose(mydata, ws = "ws", wd = "wd", ws2 = "ws2", wd2 = "wd2",
breaks = c(-11, -2, -1, -0.5, 0.5, 1, 2, 11),
cols = c("dodgerblue4", "white", "firebrick"),
grid.line = 5, type = "daylight")

You can create a function within an outer function (a closure) that allows you to update a private variable but the variable wouldn't be accessible from outside the function without the use of a helper function.
function counter() {
var _counter = 0;
// return an object with several functions that allow you
// to modify the private _counter variable
return {
add: function(increment) { _counter += increment; },
retrieve: function() { return 'The counter is currently at: ' + _counter; }
}
}
// error if we try to access the private variable like below
// _counter;
// usage of our counter function
var c = counter();
c.add(5);
c.add(9);
// now we can access the private variable in the following way
c.retrieve(); // => The counter is currently at: 14

Students at Ohio University can help keep their bank accounts happy while balancing work and social lives by working part-time on campus, and finding a job can be easy when students use the right tools.
Students should reflect on the type of position or environment they would like to work in before anything else, Erika Peyton, assistant director for Employer Relations and Marketing at the Career & Leadership Development Center, said.
“There are opportunities in Culinary, Event Services, Campus Recreation and Alden Library – but those are just a few of many departments that hire students,” she said in an email.
Students should then consider the types of positions they are eligible for, such as the Program to Aid Career Exploration (PACE), Federal Work-Study or Student Hourly Employment (SHE). Approximately 8,300 students have jobs with one of those types of positions, according to OU’s human resources department.
PACE employs about 300 students each year, according to the university’s website. The program is unique to OU and is set up to give students an opportunity to explore their career paths. Students must be eligible for a PACE job to apply.
Students qualify for Federal Work-Study jobs based on what information they fill out in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and only students who qualify can view and select those jobs. In contrast, hourly positions are open to any student who is enrolled at least half-time.
“Each type of position will have a different application and job search process,” Peyton said in an email.
Another important step students should follow is reaching out to the department that the student is most interested in to learn more about the position and how to apply. Peyton said the CLDC can help students through the entire process and can provide resources for preparing resumes and cover letters and practicing for interviews.
When it comes to the interview, Peyton suggests students schedule a 30-minute mock interview with a CLDC staff member.
“(Students) practice interviewing and get valuable feedback on how to improve,” she said in an email. “When it comes to interviews, practice makes perfect.”
Although many employment opportunities are available on campus, Culinary Services is one of the largest student employers, OU Spokesman Dan Pittman said.

Max Wolff makes a Frappuccino in Front Room on Sunday, August 28, 2016. Front Room is one of many student jobs available on campus.
There are different opportunities for students to work with Culinary Services. Students can prepare meals for the dining halls, operate campus markets and cafes, and help with banquet and catering services, according to the university’s website.
A student’s starting wage can range from $8.15 per hour, which is the minimum wage in the state of Ohio, to $8.30 an hour. Students also have the opportunity to earn $1 more per hour if they work shifts that are difficult to fill. According to OU policy, students may work up to 25 hours each week, and those hours can be scheduled to work around classes.
“Be realistic about what you can take on,” Peyton said in an email. “Take time to reflect on yourself and commit to what suits you and will help you be successful.”

resource ftp_ssl_connect ( string $host [, int $port = 21 [, int $timeout = 90 ]] )
ftp_ssl_connect() opens an explicit SSL-FTP connection to the specified host. Note: Why this function may not exist ftp_ssl_connect() is only available if both the ftp module and the OpenSSL support is built statically into php, this means that on Windows this function will be undefined in the official PHP builds. To make this function available on Windows you must compile your own PHP binaries. Note: ftp_ssl_connect() is not intended for use with sFTP. To use sFTP with PHP, please see ssh2_sftp().
Returns a SSL-FTP stream on success or FALSE on error.


hey,
i would like to disable some of my friends gravatar´s because they dont fit to the overall bf3 theme or even worse they are chosen just for trolling/insulting/etc...
i would really appreciate the function to replace them by the standard gravatar.

this will not be released by BBLog.
Maybe a Plign-Developer will create a Plugin for you.


An email for tracking and confirmation purposes has been sent to your email address.Thank you for your business!


Note: These are initial thoughts about the architecture. It will be detailed further during the initial iterations.
The project is implemented as a pluggable Django application that implements the use cases.
The Audit log may be implemented as a reusable application.
Django middleware will be used for customer subdomains and possibly for user authorization (validating customer and role).
The application will be integrated with standard Django user and authentication modules and it will also be deployable inside a Pinax website.
It will also integrate with Satchmo for billing.


Docker
Worth exploring, although might not have notes from all these topics.
- Overview

Overview
- Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to develop, deploy, and run applications with containers.
- The use of Linux containers to deploy applications is called containerization.
Virtual Machines to Docker containers.
Containerization makes CI/CD seamless.
For example:
- applications have no system dependencies
- updates can be pushed to any part of a distributed application
- resource density can be optimized.
With Docker, scaling your application is a matter of spinning up new executables, not running heavy VM hosts.
Containers
- Container is an isolated area of an OS with resource usage limits applied.
- A container is launched by running an image.
- A container is a runtime instance of an image what the image becomes in memory when executed.
Images
- An image is an executable package that includes everything needed to run an application the code, a runtime, libraries, environment variables, and configuration files.
- These portable images are defined by something called a Dockerfile.
Networking
- Bridge network
- Single host network
- Each Bridge network is isolated from each others.
- No communication between 2 containers in different bridge networks.
1 | docker network create testnw |
Create a network and run containers in those network using “–network”
1 | docker create --name my-nginx --network testnw -p 8080:80 nginx:latest |
- Overlay network
- Multi-host network
- Containers only network
- Container to Container but not container to physical servers/virtual machines/EC2.
MACVLAN
- In windows it is named as “Transparent” driver.
- It assigns every container its own IP address and MAC address on existing network.
- Requires promiscuous mode.
- IPVLAN: Similar to MACVLAN but doesn’t requires promiscuous mode
Swarm
A swarm is a group of machines that are running Docker and joined into a cluster.
The machines in a swarm can be physical or virtual. After joining a swarm, they are referred to as nodes.
Manager - worker pattern.
Services
In a distributed application, different pieces of the app are called “services.” For example, if you imagine a video sharing site, it probably includes a service for storing application data in a database, a service for video transcoding in the background after a user uploads something, a service for the front-end, and so on.
Services are really just “containers in production.” A service only runs one image, but it codifies the way that image runs—what ports it should use, how many replicas of the container should run so the service has the capacity it needs, and so on. Scaling a service changes the number of container instances running that piece of software, assigning more computing resources to the service in the process.
Luckily it’s very easy to define, run, and scale services with the Docker platform – just write a docker-compose.yml file.
Source
To sum up: Services codify a container’s behavior in a Compose file, and this file can be used to scale, limit, and redeploy our app. Changes to the service can be applied in place, as it runs, using the same command that launched the service: docker stack deploy
Stack
Run your new load-balanced app
Before we can use the docker stack deploy command we first run:
1 | docker swarm init |
Now let’s run it. You need to give your app a name. Here, it is set to getstartedlab:
1 | docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yml getstartedlab |
Our single service stack is running 5 container instances of our deployed image on one host. Let’s investigate.
Get the service ID for the one service in our application:
1 | docker service ls |
Thank you!

 Would you like me to tell you the little story of right-hand/left-hand? The story of good and evil? H-A-T-E! It was with this left hand that old brother Cain struck the blow that laid his brother low. L-O-V-E! You see these fingers, dear hearts? These fingers has veins that run straight to the soul of man. The right hand, friends, the hand of love. Now watch, and I'll show you the story of life. Those fingers, dear hearts, is always a-warring and a-tugging, one agin t'other. Now watch 'em! Old brother left hand, left hand he's a fighting, and it looks like love's a goner. But wait a minute! Hot dog, love's a winning! Yessirree! It's love that's won, and old left hand hate is down for the count!"
Fingers. You've got four on each hand, plus thumbs. And the knuckles make a pretty good place to leave a tattoo. Ideally, a four-letter word. Maybe a second one on the other hand.

Compare Good Scars, Evil Scars.
And no, a tattoo of Knuckles doesn't count (unless it's on the literal knuckles).
Examples:
open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- Trafalgar Law in One Piece has "DETH" tattooed on his left hand knuckles. Later, it is changed to match what the anime had.
- In the anime it was changed to say "DEATH", and now includes his thumb.
- DEVILMAN crybaby has the rapper Kukun sport the word "butterfly" on his knuckles (thus making his nickname, which sounds like "cocoon", a Punny Name). the shot of his severed hand sporting part of the tattoo confirms that he was killed offscreen.
Comic Books
- When The Punisher was infiltrating a criminal organization during Matt Fraction's run, he had "STAY" and "DOWN" tattooed on his fingers. Fitting.
- Claude from The Umbrella Academy has "HELLO" and "GOODBYE" tattooed across the palms of his hands, concept art shows him with them across his knuckles.
- Dawn of X, Marauders; Captain Kate, aka The Red Queen, has "H-O-L-D F-A-S-T" tattooed on her knuckles, tying in with her pirate asthetic. The "O" in "HOLD" has an X in it, matching the X-Men logo.
Film
- The Trope Maker, Trope Codifier, and probably Ur-Example (in media at least) is, of course, Robert Mitchum's character in The Night of the Hunter, who has "Love" and "Hate", and most examples since are Shout Outs.
- Not exactly tattoos, but in Do the Right Thing, Radio Raheem has the four-fingered ring version of the knuckle tattoo. He evens says the page quote in one scene.
- Eddie (Meat Loaf) in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, although it looks like he just wrote it on in pen.
- In The Last Remake of Beau Geste, the sadistic sergeant played by Peter Ustinov has "Hate" tattooed on one hand — and "Loathe" on the other.
- The Blues Brothers each have their names on their knuckles. Elwood's name actually spills onto his other hand.
- Old Joe Plaice from Master and Commander has "Hold Fast" tattooed on his knuckles. This is a tattoo that was common on sailing ships in the old days. So hooray for Truth in Television.
- The A-Team has B.A. sporting the words "Pity" and "Fool" on his knuckles.
- The skinheads in This Is England, or at least the nationalist faction, have crosses tattooed on their left middle finger knuckles. In one scene, the leader of the gang gives Shaun one with a safety pin.
- Dwalin in the film adaptation of The Hobbit has the runes for the traditional dwarf Battlecry tattooed across his knuckles: "Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!"note
- In The Place Beyond the Pines, Ryan Gosling's character 'Handsome' Luke has H-A-N-D tattooed onto the knuckles of his right hand and S-O-M-E on the left.
- In Cloud Atlas, London Gangster Dermot Hoggins has FOCK tattooed on one hand.
- In Shaun the Sheep: The Movie, a dog in the Animal Containment Centre has "BARK" and "BITE" tattooed on his forepaws.
- One of the bank robbers who's part of the human antagonists in Crocodile 2: Death Swamp has the words LEFT and RITE tattooed on his knuckles.
- Chef!: The protagonist, eponymous Chef Carl Casper, has tattoos on his forearms and knuckles. The latter read EL JEFE (The Chef in Spanish), which is, while accurate for his job, ironic as he doesn't speak Spanish.
- Paddington 2 has them sported by grumpy convict chef Knuckles McGinty. Or NUCK EL'S, as the tattoos spell it.
Literature
- In Discworld,
- One of Cohen's barbarian horde in Interesting Times has "Hate" tattooed on both knuckles.
- Harry King in Making Money has gold rings spelling his name, in the spirit of this trope. In case you wondered, yes, that's nine letters; he's missing one finger. They also function as very expensive brass knuckles; many a business rival has been found with Harry's name embossed backwards on their forehead.
- One of the bikers in Good Omens is mentioned to have 'Love' and 'Hate' tattooed on their knuckles. Another has 'Fish' and 'Chip'.
- In the Johnny Maxwell Trilogy, Bigmac has "LOVE" and "HAT" (the "E" keeps rubbing off) written on his knuckles in biro. Yup, Terry Pratchett loves this trope.
- Seen in this fan illustration of one of John Hodgman's 700 hobos.
- One of the bullies in the first Molly Moon book has KING GORD tattooed on his knuckles.
- In Monster Hunter Vendetta, a truck driver that's an innocent victim of a monster rampage has "LOVE" and "HATE" tattooed on his knuckles. Later, Agent Franks is seen with "HATE" on the knuckles of his left hand. The arm and its attached hand was taken from the dead trucker, Franks replacing a limb lost earlier in the chapter.
- In the Spitting Image book, the (then still living) Queen Mother has GIN& on the knuckles of one hand and TONIC on the other.
- In the comic neo-noir Mr Blank, the two mechanics with the Flock of Seagulls hairdos outside the Brotherhood of Sisterhood both have tattoos across their knuckles. One reads "GOOD FISH." The other is never revealed.
- A twist on this in The Late Show, when a bad guy doesn't have tattoos on his actual knuckles, but has "GOOD" and "EVIL" on the brass knuckles he uses to beat people with. Detective Renee Ballard uses the imprints of letters on a victim's body to tie the bad guy to the crime.
- The Outsider (2018): The titular creature is a shapechanger who takes on the form of someone whose blood it has sampled. It eventually takes the form of an ex-con who has "CANT" [sic] and "MUST" on his knuckles. For the con, they're a reminder of his pledge to stay clean. For the Outsider, they become ways to intimidate and manipulate people, especially the person who eventually becomes its accomplice in trying to kill its pursuers.
Live Action Television
- In The League of Gentlemen, the town vicar gets these tattoos around the beginning of the second season.
- In a dream Jerry has on Seinfeld, Uncle Leo was in prison and had "JERRY HELLO" tattooed across his knuckles. It Makes Sense in Context.
- The ads for Ace of Cakes feature Duff baring knuckle tattoos of "BAKE" "CAKE", but he revealed that they're not only fake, but they had to use a hand model because his own knuckles were too hairy.

- Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers has the word "LOVE" etched onto his right hand. This is referenced in the song "Charlie", off of the album Stadium Arcadium.
- The cover art of The Pogues' album Peace and Love features a man with those very words across his knuckles. Both words fit by virtue of him having six fingers on his right hand◊.
- Ozzy Osbourne has "OZZY" written on his left knuckles. He did them in jail with shoe polish.
- The cover of Slade's record "Slayed" features the band members with the band's name written on their knuckles. Because "Slade" has five letters and there are only four knuckles, they had to put one letter on their thumbs.
- Parodied to the extreme with the music video of the song Pork and Beans by Weezer wherein at one point in the video several lines of lyrics are written all over one of the band members hands and flashed in time with the lyrics. That's a pastiche of Daft Hands, a viral video where the same thing was done with "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk.

Jamie Vardy adds to pressure on Unai Emery as Leicester beat Arsenal
Red-hot Jame Vardy piled the pressure on Arsenal boss Unai Emery as the Leicester striker continued to haunt the Gunners.
The forward scored his ninth goal in nine starts against the Gunners to inspire the Foxes to a 2-0 win and into second in the Premier League.
Vardy, the top flight’s 11-goal leading scorer, also set up James Maddison’s clincher as Emery’s side slumped to a limp defeat at the King Power Stadium.
Alexandre Lacazette wasted Arsenal’s best chance and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a goal disallowed but the visitors were poor.
The Gunners, winless in the Premier League for over a month, slipped eight points behind the top four with Emery’s position under increasing scrutiny.
Leicester now sit five points behind leaders Liverpool – who host Manchester City on Sunday – after a deserved fifth straight win.
Trailing Leicester by six points before kick-off the Gunners desperately needed the win and Lacazette should have put them ahead after 14 minutes.
The hosts started brightly but Arsenal created the first opening when Hector Bellerin crossed for Aubameyang.
He failed to find the finish and the ball rolled for Lacazette, who could only fire wide from six yards.
It allowed the Gunners to briefly look dangerous and Lacazette’s weak shot was gathered by Kasper Schmeichel.
They had contained any early Leicester threat but were guilty of poor distribution as Emery’s men tried to play out from the back.
Sloppy passing continued to blight the Gunners and Bellerin, making his first Premier League start since January after injury, gifted the ball to Ayoze Perez to fire over.
Encouraged, Leicester pressed and only Calum Chambers’ telling touch on Perez’s low cross denied Vardy after 33 minutes.
Arsenal were there for the taking but the Foxes’ lack of intensity aided the visitors.
Maddison’s free-kick flew just over three minutes before the break and Harvey Barnes miscued a header.
Yet the hosts came closer four minutes into the second half after finally upping the tempo.
Fine work from Ricardo Pereira saw him cross for Wilfred Ndidi but his 16-yard effort slammed off the bar.
Arsenal then thought they had opened the scoring after 55 minutes when Aubameyang converted Sead Kolasinac’s cross, only for the striker to be correctly ruled offside.
But Leicester finally took control with 22 minutes left when Vardy continued his excellent record against the Gunners.
A sweeping Leicester move ended with Youri Tielemans swapping passes with Barnes and Vardy found the corner from 12 yards.
Four minutes later Bernd Leno denied Vardy a second before Maddison wrapped up the points with 15 minutes remaining.
Pereira fed Vardy and he teed up Maddison to drill in a fine low effort from the edge of the box.

Eerie US WWII fighter plane that crashed off UK coast given protected status
by James RogersA U.S. World War II fighter plane that crashed off the coast of North Wales and occasionally appears from the sands has received protected status, officials announced Monday.
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning Fighter crashed in September 1942 and is buried beneath 6.6 feet of sand. The ghostly remains of the plane, however, sometimes appear from the sands – the first sighting was in the 1970s, according to Cadw, the Welsh government’s historic environment service. The plane was also uncovered in 2007 and, most recently, in 2014.
With its scheduled, or protected, status, the fighter is the first legally designated military aircraft crash site protected for its historic and archaeological interest in the U.K.
WRECK OF US WWII B-24 BOMBER DISCOVERED 74 YEARS AFTER IT PLUNGED INTO THE SEA OFF BERMUDA
The fighter, which was piloted by 24-year-old Second Lt. Robert F. Elliott, crash-landed after running into difficulties during a gunnery practice mission. Elliott walked away from the crash but was reported missing in action just a few months later.
Elliott’s nephew, Robert Elliott, a resident of Kingsport, Tenn. and a U.S. Navy veteran, said that he is thrilled with the aircraft’s protected status.
“I am honored and delighted that Cadw has given official recognition of my uncle's P38F as a scheduled Ancient Monument,” he said in a statement. “My uncle was among those brave and expert fighter pilots who served with distinction during WWII. My visit to the site with my wife Cathy in 2016 was very moving and emotional.”
A number of downed aircraft from World War II have been located in recent years. Earlier this year the wreck of a World War II U.S. B-24 bomber that plunged into the sea off Bermuda in February 1945 was discovered by a team of researchers from the University of Delaware.
WRECKAGE OF WWII B-24 BOMBER DISCOVERED 74 YEARS AFTER IT WAS SHOT DOWN
The wreckage of another U.S. Air Force B-24 bomber was found in Papua New Guinea in 2018, 74 years after it was shot down during a fierce battle with Japanese forces.
In 2017, engineers working on a sub-sea power link discovered what is believed to be the wreckage of a lost World War II Royal Air Force bomber off the coast of Norway.
In 2015, the University of Hawaii and NOAA released incredible images of a U.S. Navy seaplane sunk during the opening moments of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Thanks for the report, but I don't think this has anything to do with Spaces, actually.
In order for this to happen the only thing that is necessary is for iTunes to not be frontmost.
This is actually an iTunes issue and there isn't really anything that I can do about it from the Synergy side. Basically, Synergy issues the instruction to iTunes and waits for the reply, but doesn't get one. When you bring iTunes to the front it finally wakes up and actually sends the reply to Synergy and Synergy "unblocks".
iTunes has actually improved a little in recent versions in this respect, as in the old days it was completely unresponsive whenever a dialog was up. At least now it responds provided it is frontmost. You could file a feature request or bug report with Apple if you'd like them to correct the issue; the important thing to include in your report is that iTunes doesn't respond to Apple Events if it has a dialog box up, except when it is the frontmost app.
Working around this in Synergy would severely break the current working model. Instead of staying "in sync" with iTunes, it would have to become a "blind" controller; that is, issue commands and not wait for replies and not have confirmation of what state iTunes was in. It would thus avoid these "blocking" incidents, but it would be at risk of getting "out of sync" with the iTunes state. My "developer's intuition" leads me to believe that getting out of sync would be much more common and lead to a lot more support tickets than this non-responsiveness problem, so it's not a direction I would really want to explore, especially when the power is in Apple's hands to fix the unresponsive behaviour in iTunes.

[gecode-users] Gecode/J: What is Space abstract?

I don't know of a way to require statically that a constructor with a
certain signature should be available in a class. However, if the copy
function is called and there is no constructor with the right
signature, an exception will be thrown alerting you to the fact.
An abstract function in Space would only be enforced in direct
inheritance from Space. If you had your own MySpace, and then made a
class MySpecialSpace inheriting from MySpace, there would be no error
if that function was left out.
On the C++-side of Gecode, each Space must implement both a virtual
function copy, as well as a copy constructor. The virtual
copy-function is used as a polymorphic trampoline for accessing the
right copy-constructor. Since Gecode/J is geared mainly towards
teaching, we have tried to simplify the set-up for a normal model as
far as possible. Using Java reflection, we could dispense with this
function and write a generic one in the Space-class.
Cheers,
Mikael

Goal: Increasing precision rate of BCa diagnosis
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that forms in the cells of the breast. Although mostly found in women, men can get breast cancer too. There are a number of symptoms associated with breast cancer, but the first noticeable symptom is often a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. A lump in the breast does not necessarily mean you have cancer - most breast lumps are not cancerous. However, it is always best to have them checked by your doctor. Treatment for breast cancer may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy or bone-directed therapy.
Digital Lab applied 6 machine learning models to predict breast cancer and here are our brief introductions and logic we followed to achieved these results:
To increase the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis, 6 different machine learning techniques are applied with different input patient features. The selected supervised machine learning techniques have been widely applied in cancer research for the development of predictive model. Every model is explored individually by parameter adjustment, feature selection and method optimization to maximize its ability. The comparison figure will show the summary of results from each model and which one is the best! In addition to finding the best model, features exploration methods ( decision tree, Random forest, Principal component analysis (PCA) ) were performed to visualize how each features could contribute the results of our predoctions.
Explanation: Before scaling and modifying the parameters, the charts visualize the distribution of values and accuracy within each models. Support Vector Machine and Neural Network ranged from 47% to 90%. After Scaling the data and modifying parameters, each model respectively goes up on average to 94% within their ranges.
Parameters:
Explanation: In the first two feature selection charts, Decision tree displayed less weights than random forest did. In Decision tree, At each step the algorithm chooses the best result(best weights). However, choosing the best result at given step does not ensure you will be headed down the route that will lead to the optimal decision when you make it to the final node of the tree. However, random forest mitigates this problem as a collection of decision Tree whose results are aggegated into one final result. if we have 30 features, random forests will only use a certain number of those features in each model, say five. Unfortunately, we have omitted 25 features that could be useful. But as stated, a random forest is a collection of decision trees. Thus, in each tree we can utilize five random features. If we use many trees in our forest, eventually many or all of our features will have been included. This inclusion of many features will help limit our error due to bias and error due to variance.
In the feature accuracy Vs number of feature graph, random forest model and scikit-learn RFECV was used here for feature selection. This is ONE of the many ways of feature selection. Recursive feature elimination is an automated approach to this. They have different pros and cons, and usually feature selection is best achieved by also involving common sense and trying models with different features. RFE is a quick way of selecting a good set of features, but does not necessarily give you the ultimately best. However, because we used random forest tree (collections of decision tree), a more straight-forward and brutal method to weight features. So, everytime the feature accuracy Vs number of feature graph was run, system will return to different result(optimal points) and visualization. (refer to code below)
Next, Based on PCA (Principal Component Analysis) was used to differentiate benign vs malignant, feature weights was calculated and visualized from each feature's contribution
Explaination: PCA (Principal component analysis) method, the main linear technique for dimensionality reduction, was used to visualize our data. From the PCA plot and scree plot we found that princple component 1 showed most variation between patient (malignant) and control (benign) group. Then the loading scores of 30 features from PC1 were sorted and visualized, which showed all features by order of their weight in PC1. Last, SVM model performance was visualized (on train and test data) while more features added into the model.
Explanation: 4 methods were performed in neural network. Light color represents LOSS and corresponding dark one represents ACCURACY in each method. From the figure shown, method, Tahn, achieves its highest accuracy in fateset way. However, all methods finally achieves similar loss and accuracy after training process. The accuracy of Sigmoid is numerically highest, 0.979.
Explanation: After implementing Support Vector Machine model and modifying the parameters, these two scattered chart visualizes respective confident value of each benign(predicted results ranging from 0 to 8) and malignant(predicted results ranging from -17.5 to 0) result. Every dot in the chart represents an individual predicted benign(marked in green)/ malignant(marked in red) case. After implementing Support Vector Machine model and modifying the parameters, this chart visualizes the prediction of benign and malignant counts. The red block represents predicted results of total benign counts (91) and the green block represents predicted result of total malignant counts (51).
Explanation: Based on our results and presentation above, we received the highest accuracy by SVM so confusion matrix figure was generated accordingly. This confusion matrix figure further explains model accuracy. X-axis represents predication results and Y-axis is actual diagnosis. Accuracy is 0.98 ([62+105]/ [62+105+2+2]), Precision is 0.97(62/[62+2]), False Positive rate is 0.02 (2/[2+105]), and False Negative rate is 0.03 (2/[62+2]).

Look, a funny penguin.
ProTip from the ninja trenches: Unlike node, or python3, or perl6, vim is probably already installed on your server - no need for DevOps!
AN EXAMPLE: A WEBSERVER
This simple web server written in vimscript responds with "hello, world" for every request.!while [ $? -eq 0 ]; \ do \ nc -vlp 8080 \ -c "printf 'HTTP/1.0 200 MORNING\r\n\r\nhello, world\n'"; \ done
To run the server, run vim, type i, type the
code in, type
See - you didn't even have to leave the editor!
Here is an example of a simple TCP server which listens on port 1337 and echoes whatever you send it:
!while [ $? -eq 0 ]; do nc -vlp 1337 -c cat; done
At this point it should be clear how to scale that up to a proper web service - just install a bunch of stuff and use it! Easy!

Website Redesign
10/22/2015 MST
blog, website
I’ve gone ahead and decided to start using Jekyll to work on my blog. Although there were a few hitches in getting it setup, I am really enjoying using Markdown and the Liquid Templating language. Although the site is being compiled to static HTML to be served on Github, it almost feels like I am working on a dynamic site due to the power of the included technologies in the framework.

It is recommended that you use the static method valueOf()
introduced in Java 5. By default, this method caches objects for values between -128 and
127 inclusive.
Example:
Integer i = new Integer(1);
Long l = new Long(1L);
After the quick-fix is applied, the code changes to:
Integer i = Integer.valueOf(1);
Long l = Long.valueOf(1L);

Project Phoenix
After a long hiatus, I’m revisiting one of my very very old projects…. the Yoruba Watch face app which is actually a watch face and a mobile app with a home screen widget.
This app and I have come a long way. It started as a random Friday evening passion project (who stays at home to code for fun on Friday evenings? 😭) and it blew up beyond my expectations, including fetching me an interview on BBC.
The app was last updated in 2016, and boy have I learnt a ton since then! The Android Development landscape has also changed radically, with Kotlin announced as Google’s preferred language for Android app development and the release of the Android Jetpack Libraries.
I’ve decided to update the project to reflect what Android Development in this day looks like. It’s only been three years but that’s a century in the Android world. I’ll be bumping version numbers, migrating to Kotlin and Android X, architecting and modularizing, adding a couple of libraries as I deem fit, updating the Wear app to 2.0, probably removing the home screen widget and adding new features. Design sprints, anyone?
I’ll share any learnings in the process and might eventually decide to make it open-source. I don’t fully know where this is headed yet, but I’m excited about my rekindled excitement at coding for fun - which is how all this started.
Looking to collaborate with Product Designers to improve the app’s look. Please reach out on Twitter if that’s you, or if you have feedback or feature suggestions :)


Description
This library provides the fork, wait, wait2, waitpid, and waitpid2 methods
for MS Windows. In addition, it provides a different implementation of the
kill method, a proper implementation of Process.ppid, and decent analogues
of Process.getpriority, Process.setpriority, Process.getrlimit and
Process.setrlimit.
Prerequisites
* windows-pr
* sys-proctable (dev only)
* test-unit 2 (dev only)
Supported Platforms
This library is supported on Windows 2000 or later.
Installation
gem install win32-process
Synopsis
require 'win32/process'
Process.fork{
3.times{
puts 'In the child'
sleep 1
}
}
Process.wait
puts 'Done'
Developer‘s Notes
The fork method is emulated on Windows by spawning another Ruby process
against $PROGRAM_NAME via the CreateProcess() Win32 API function. It will
use its parent's environment and starting directory.
The various wait methods are a wrapper for the WaitForSingleObject() or
WaitForMultipleObjects() Win32 API functions, for the wait* and waitpid*
methods, respectively. In the case of wait2 and waitpid2, the exit value
is returned via the GetExitCodeProcess() Win32API function.
For now the waitpid and waitpid2 calls do not accept a second argument.
That's because we haven't yet determined if there's a signal we should
allow to be sent.
IMPORTANT!
Note that because fork is calling CreateProcess($PROGRAM_NAME), it will
start again from the top of the script instead of from the point of the
call. We will try to address this in a future release, if possible.
Initially, the kill method will try to get a HANDLE on the PID using the
OpenProcess() function. If that succeeds, we know the process is running.
In the event of signal 2 or signal 3, the GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent()
function is used to send a signal to that process.  It will not (currently) send a signal to remote
processes.
In the event of signal 1 or 4-8, the CreateRemoteThread() function is used
after the HANDLE's process has been identified to create a thread
within that process. The ExitProcess() function is then sent to that
thread.
In the event of signal 9, the TerminateProcess() function is called. This
will almost certainly kill the process, but doesn't give the process a
chance to necessarily do any cleanup it might otherwise do.
In MRI the Process.ppid always returns 0 on MS Windows. With this library
it returns the actual parent pid.
Differences between Ruby‘s kill and the Win32 Utils kill
Ruby does not currently use the CreateRemoteThread() + ExitProcess()
approach which is, according to everything I've read, a cleaner approach.
This includes not only online research but also Jeffrey Richter's
"Advanced Windows Programming, 3rd Edition."
Also, the way Process.kill handles multiple pids works slightly differently
(and better IMHO) in the Win32 Utils version than the way Ruby currently
provides.
The reason Process.kill was originally added, in case anyone cares for
historical trivia, is that Ruby 1.6.x did not support Process.kill on
Windows at all.
Notes
It is unlikely you will be able to kill system processes with this module.
It's probably better that you don't.
Known Bugs
None known (though please see the +Details+ section for quirks). Any
bugs should be reported on the project page at
http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils.
Future Plans
Train Process.fork to execute from the point of the call rather than the
top of the script (if possible).
Other suggestions welcome.

Creating the web page for my final project was both exciting and challenging at times. I have lately really gotten into fitness and eating healthy. As college students or even those working full-time after college, it can be hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We all know eating healthy and being activity should some how be incorporated into our lifestyles but sometime life gets in the way. What I wanted my website to project is how it is still possible to live a healthy life even in the hustle and bustle of life.
Originally, I had many elaborate ideas on how to go about making a beautiful, easy on the eyes website. However, as I started to code and create using Brackets, I knew I was getting myself into a whole a lot of work. Starting to feel overwhelmed, I began to redesign how my website will look. I started to go for the simple look and style in order to accomplish what I wanted done. At first it was frustrating but I eventually got right back on track and feeling great about the work I was completing.
After I started working on the layout of my website, I need to figure out how I would style all the content I was putting into this. Because I was including pictures of different workouts, food and recipes I got the idea to have it look and feel almost like a Pinterest. I was using pinterest for a majority of my photos that I added onto my website and that’s is when I came up to model it after. It is almost like a pinterest site specifically designed for people who are looking for workouts and food related things.
I created five pages for my website; a home page, a home workout page, a gym workout page, a healthy snack option and a healthy dinner recipe page. My home page is simple in the layout and is suppose to be just a welcome and what to expect coming to this website. I have the same background image throughout my whole website to add consistency. I added light green pattern because I wanted a background that was calming and not harsh on the viewers eyes. I wanted to make sure my website is appealing and does not distract the viewer from what I am trying to show off.
The next four pages I created for my website is where the more pinterest style of the website starts to come out. As mentioned before I created a home workouts page, a gym workouts page, a healthy snacks page and a healthy dinner recipes page. For the workout pages I added pictures I had collected and separated them into whether they are home or gym worthy. I made sure to add padding to the pages so while scrolling the pictures do not just sit right on top of each other. I also made sure for some of the picture that their size was large enough for someone to see immediately on the screen without any issues.
Then we start to go into the food pages of my site. I separate them by whether it is a pre or post snack from the gym or whether someone is looking for something new to try during the day instead of reaching for the cookie. For the snacks, I added the picture for my page but then I linked the pictures to the actually site I got it from. This way if the viewer finds something they like they can simply go to another site and find out more.
For the healthy dinner recipes page, I did the same with linking the pictures I posted to the actual site where I had gotten it. Again this would be if the viewer likes how something looks from one of the pictures I posted that can immediately be redirected to the site and find the recipe to try out themselves.
For the pictures I used for the last two pages I added padding between each of them so again they were not sitting right on top of each other. For more of the styling I worked on the page besides the background image I tried adding cool fonts to the header and title. I used Google fonts to find a font style I liked and would add something creativity to my website. I was also able to add a favicon to the tab so whenever someone would visit my website it would appear on the tab need to the title.
Now, you might have been wondering how I was connecting all the pages I had created? That is where bootstrap came into place. I added the links to each of my pages in the header to start off. Then I added the tab components to each page and put in the html document so when you click on the tab it links you directed to the page I set it as.
Overall, my website is not what I had originally planned on it to be but that is completely okay. I got some of the components down that I wanted and still was able to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Working on this definitely has made me more comfortable working and coding in html and adding cool backgrounds, colors, fonts, pictures with links and knowing more about bootstrap. In the end I am happy with the work I put into this website. Definitely has made me more interested in coding and working with it.
To end my personal narrative for my final project, I wanted to add some font awesome that is linked to my Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Enjoy!

Thank you for all the information!
This website was done for a project in the subject "Apprenticeship and Exploration in Art Production", where the student must create an artwork related to his/her chosen field. This field was digital product design. The creator came up with the idea after struggling to improve in dancing, which was due to a lack of body awareness. She hopes to improve the website in the future, believing that there is a genuine need for such a tool in the dance community. The creator would also like to thank her cousin Aedin Clay for helping with the code.
Bianca Aguilar is a Grade 12 Arts & Design Student in De la Salle Santiago Zobel-Vermosa. Her passions include art, design, technology, and dance. She hopes to go into both user experience and user interface design one day, one day, and aspires to create technology that will aid the arts. You may check out her other work through her website.
Always being corrected in class? Don't know what to work on? If so, this is the website for you! This is geared towards dancers who are based in ballet, including jazz, modern, and contemporary. Its aim is to help improve dancer body awareness by determining their weaknesses and suggesting recommendations for improvement. If you are ready, click the button below to start the test!

Disentangling causal webs in the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging: A review of current approaches¶
In the past two decades, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been used to relate neuronal network activity to cognitive processing and behavior. Recently this approach has been augmented by algorithms that allow us to infer causal links between component populations of neuronal networks. Multiple inference procedures have been proposed to approach this research question but so far, each method has limitations when it comes to establishing whole-brain connectivity patterns. In this paper, we discuss eight ways to infer causality in fMRI research: Bayesian Nets, Dynamical Causal Modelling, Granger Causality, Likelihood Ratios, Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Models, Patel’s Tau, Structural Equation Modelling, and Transfer Entropy. We finish with formulating some recommendations for the future directions in this area.

You just started as a demand planner at a semiconductor manufacturer. You are given three tasks: to forecast the sales of three different chipsets. Since your forecast will be used for further supply chain planning, your goal is to generate an unbiased forecast with as little error as possible so your colleagues have a good basis for planning.
In each round of every task, you first make an initial forecast based on historical sales data. Next, you receive a model forecast. Then you give your final forecast for the round. In the end, you will see how you and the model have performed. Questionnaires will follow each task and after all three tasks have been completed.
Your boss told you that the model forecast is generated by a statistical forecasting software the company purchased. All information he has about this software is that it takes into the same historical sales data as you receive.
Only your final forecast will be measured by Mean Absolute Error(MAE). The lower the MAE, the higher your forecast accuracy is.
Your performance will be measured by the Mean Absolute Error(MAE). The lower the MAE, the higher your forecast accuracy and the better your performance.

Context
Changes in regulation meant that CommBank was required to use Credit Bureau data to cross-check the debts customers declare when applying for credit (e.g. loans and credit cards). This presented a design opportunity to meet regulatory requirements, improve customers' financial wellbeing outcomes and update the aesthetics our personal loans origination form.
Problem Space
Customer problem
Currently, the bank would use information that the customer disclosed in their application and their transaction data. However, customers might potentially miss or misreport debts held with other institutions. This meant two things were happening:
- Customers who shouldn’t be eligible for loans were getting loans and risking their financial wellbeing
- Customers who would otherwise be eligible were being declined unnecessarily
Design challenges
The process of matching external debt information, customer declared information and their transactional data is complex. A "full proof solution" would costly and unfeasible. Therefore, the designs had to accomodate for the following constraints:
- Even if a customer had declared a debt, the data we receive might be out of date (e.g. out of date home loan repayment amount because of interest rate changes)
- Customers assume that the bank will have a complete and accurate record of their debts.
Project in Progress
Due to the sensitive nature of CommBank projects, the rest of this case study is still under construction until the project is released. Check back soon!
