Secrets of Pride of Britain Carol Vorderman's ageless beauty and that 25-inch waist
Inside the treatments and tactics Pride of Britain host Carol Vorderman employs to keep her face and body in tip top shape
by Frances KindonWith her glowing complexion and enviable figure, Carol Vorderman is as stunning now as she was when she first found fame on Channel 4's Countdown in 1982.
Filling in for Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show today, fans were in awe of her smooth visage, with many asking what her secret is.
And the star - who will present the The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards tonight on ITV at 8pm - previously revealed she's a big fan of treatments such as plasma showers, which used ionised gas to strip bacteria from the skin and encourage the growth of new cells.
She hasn't been under the knife but does have botox injections once a year in her neck and around her eyes.
She also has derma roller treatment, whereby micro-needles are rolled across the skin to stimulate collagen.
She also tackles her looks from the inside out, taking vitamins A and D, omega 3, fish oils, calcium, pro-biotics and cider vinegar.
"And I eat well. I cut down on sugar and cut down on carbs long before it became fashionable, and most of the week I drink very little alcohol. Your tolerance goes down after the menopause. Two glasses of wine and I feel it the next day. But I do love to party!" she told the Daily Mail.
Then there's that sensational figure.
To maintain her 25-inch waist, Carol - who hasn't weighed herself since 1999 - does a staggering 15,000 steps a day and hikes more than 50 miles a week.
She also hits the gym three days out of seven and does three open-air circuit training sessions.
"I’m probably about a size 8 to 9 at the moment. I’ve always had a small waist, I think I’m about 25 inches around my waist. If I put on a bit of weight, I know I have, and I go up to a size 11," she recently told Lorraine.
"A larger size 10, that’s kind of my boundary for where I’m happy."
As for her award-winning bottom - which won Rear of the Year in 2011 and 2014 and earned her Kim Kardashian comparisons - that, too, is hard-earned.
"I promise I haven’t had bottom implants. It’s the same old bottom. In my family, loads of us have it: the Vorderman a**e... And I’ve been working out for decades, so the shape of mine is down to years of keeping fit," she told the Daily Mail.
To achieve her look, she does 20,000 squats a year and is a huge fan of 'goblet squats' with a kettle bell.
Carol started using hormone replacement therapy three years ago and believes that has also changed the shape of her body, increasing her bust from a size 36 to a 38D.
"I think your bust does grow with hormonal changes. And we all know you put on weight when your bust grows. You have babies; it grows. Then you go through the menopause - I had my last period about a year ago - and it grows a bit more," she added.
The Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards, in partnership with TSB, will be broadcast on ITV on November 5 at 8pm

Summer of Sam * * * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by Spike Lee. Cast: John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, Mira Sorvino, Ben Gazzara, Jennifer Esposito, Michael Rispoli, Bebe Neuwirth, Anthony LaPaglia, Mike Starr, Patti LuPone, Ken Garito, Brian Tarantino, Roger Guenveur Smith, Michael Badalucco, Spike Lee, Jimmy Breslin; voice of John Turturro. 1999 - 144 minutes Rated R (for graphic violence, strong profanity, sex, nudity, and gore). Reviewed July 3, 1999.
Spike Lee has always been an obviously talented director, creating inventive storytelling and technical techniques that have been nothing short of impressive. 1989's critically-heralded "Do the Right Thing" is still Lee's most praised work, but he has also made the successful likes of 1991's "Jungle Fever," 1992's "Malcolm X," 1994's "Crooklyn," and 1995's "Clockers." One of the downfalls in Lee's films that have been detected, however, is his unnecessary emphasis on sex and nudity when it has very little to do with the story at hand (for proof, just take a look at his frustratingly uneven 1998 drama, "He Got Game"), as if his only reason for adding these elements is simply because he can.
Spike Lee's latest opus, "Summer of Sam," marks a major turning point in his career because, with this picture, he has swayed away from his usual African-American characters to focus on a group of white Italian Americans, which was a vital decision in his evolution as a filmmaker. And, ultimately, this film's often extreme sex and nudity (which had to be slightly trimmed when the MPAA first stamped the film with an NC-17) serves a definite purpose when dealing with the characters' conflicts, invoking a certain place and time, and leads to one of the more powerful moments in this long-but-not-too-long 144-minute epic.
Set during the hottest summer on record in New York City, in 1977, while serial killer David Berkowitz, the .44-caliber killer, later titled the Son of Sam from a letter he sent to writer Jimmy Breslin, was going on a rampage, murdering primarily women with shoulder-length brown hair. The movie may be named after the Son of Sam, but he, as well as his grisly acts, pose as supporting characters. Instead, the film is about that fateful and memorable summer, when NYC was ablaze in hysteria due to the killings, and when many frightened women were getting blond wigs or getting their hair dyed. It was also the summer when, as already mentioned, there was an extreme heat wave, a city-wide blackout, and mass looting. Amidst all of this are the central characters, living in the Bronx. Vinny (John Leguizamo) is a hairdresser who, night after night, goes out with his sweet wife, Dionna (Mira Sorvino), to various night clubs to dance the night away.  When Son of Sam strikes within moments of him leaving an area where he was having a quickie with Dionna's cousin in a parked car, Vinny believes that he is next on the killer's hit list, and takes it as a sign to change his philandering ways and become a good, faithful husband again. This vow, indeed, proves more difficult than he anticipates. The other running story thread in the film deals with Vinny's best friend, Ritchie (Adrien Brody), who returns to his old neighborhood after living in Manhattan, but to the surprise of all of his old buddies, has taken up with the punk movement, complete with spiked hair and a leather dog collar around his neck.  When two police investigators approach a mob boss (Ben Gazzara) to help them search for the mysterious Son of Sam, he turns them down, but opts to rally up a group of his own friends to make a list of suspects, gradually narrowing them down to a select few.
"Summer of Sam," like some of the very best films (Robert Altman's incomparable 1975 masterpiece, "Nashville," comes quickly to mind), is a wildly ambitious motion picture overflowing with characters and stories, all of which are somewhat pawns in the grand scheme of things to vividly and accurately portray a certain place, this time that "place" being NYC in the summer of 1977. Aided by Spike Lee's fresh, assured direction, "Summer of Sam" is an electrifying, high-charged drama that is easily one of the most engrossing films I've seen thus far in 1999. Moving at a dizzying pace from one character and predicament to the next, the film only stops long enough to carefully observe the people's interactions with each other, and even then it has energy to spare.
Watching the film, you are not merely watching what is going on, but are practically put right in the middle of the horrifying chaos. The alternate desperation and fear that the characters are feeling, not only due to the Son of Sam but also from their own troublesome relationships, is always strongly palpable, and the film also succeeds as seldom period pieces do. Technically, while most movies set somewhere in the past usually seem like a bunch of actors playing dress-up and the settings looking manufactured, "Summer of Sam" feels as if Lee has literally gone back in time and really made the picture in 1977. To acquire this, a great deal of work has gone into the set decoration, production and costume design, research on the year of 1977, and Lee experiments with several different film stocks to give the picture an "in-the-moment" feeling. The cinematography, by Ellen Kuras, is strikingly distinct and moody, further helping along the setting of 1977. Another decisive technical element that is cause for praise is the astounding, edgy music score by Terence Blanchard that occasionally gives off an air of dreaminess and fantasy amidst the nightmare going on. Complimenting the score are the perfectly-chosen '70s songs, and it is one of the strongest song compilations on a period movie in recent memory.
Lest you have misunderstood, the Son of Sam killer, David Berkowitz (Michael Badalucco), is intermittently shown as a severely unstable man in extreme stages of schizophrenia. Pounding his heavy-set body down on the bed in his trashed apartment, writing wicked, ominous messages on the walls, Berkowitz is constantly being annoyed by the black labrodor retriever whom allegedly told him to kill in the first place, and in a shocking moment that might have been transformed into an unintentional laugh if it wasn't for the painful realism in which it was presented, the dog speaks to him briefly (voiced by John Turturro). When Berkowitz sets out to shoot and kill his victims, the murders are graphically, but non-exploitatively shown. There are no false scares and rising suspense, just a blink-and-you'll-miss it look of horror on the peoples' faces before the gun points straight for them and, BANG, they're life has been taken from them. Too often serial murder is superficially looked upon in mainstream films, so credit Spike Lee for taking these sequences and turning them into stark moments of pure, unadulterated terror.
John Leguizamo has had a misfortune so far in his acting career because he has been given usually comic, one-note roles (1997's horrific comedy, "The Pest," 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar"). In his first strictly dramatic role that I can remember, we are finally given a glimpse of Leguizamo as a talented, serious actor.
Academy Award Winner Mira Sorvino (1995's "Mighty Aphrodite, where she gave the best supporting performance of the decade) plays his suffering wife, Dionna, as a loyal woman who is close to her father and works as a waitress at his Italian restaurant. Suspecting Vinny is cheating on her, and unable to please him sexually, Dionna becomes distressed that something must be wrong with her. Starting off as the token "wife," Sorvino's Dionna eventually is uncovered to show us an unexpectedly strong woman who is firm in her beliefs and knows what is right and wrong. Leading to the most heartbreaking moment in the film, Dionna goes along with Vinny to Plato's Retreat, a sleaze club that turns into a free-for-all orgy. Feeling that if she participates in it with Vinny, she will gain his respect, Dionna is devastated afterwards when Vinny blames her for the whole experience, accusing her of not caring about him. Sorvino does not strike one false note, as we are able to deeply sympathize with what she is going through, even more so when she is revealed to be an intelligent, free-thinking woman later on.
Adrien Brody is exceptional as the misunderstood Ritchie, the character who is most suspiciously looked upon due to his quick-changing punk/musician/porn lifestyle, even though he clearly has the most virtuous personality. Seeking to be an individual, Ritchie is always changing his physical appearance and not really sure where his life is headed, but is loyal to Vinny, listening to his problems when even he knows what Vinny is doing could potentially destroy Dionna.
All other performances in "Summer of Sam" are also top-notch, particularly Ben Gazarra; Jennifer Esposito, who adds a fetching naturalism to her relatively underwritten role; and Patti LuPone, as Ritchie's mother who loves him dearly but finds herself throwing him out of the house because of her overpowering new husband (Mike Starr). Even Spike Lee appears as an inadequate news reporter who pops up every now and again to make a commentary on the goings-on in NYC, and adds a much-needed light dose of humor to the overpoweringly dark material.
Controversy has been surrounding "Summer of Sam" ever since Spike Lee began filming the picture in the exact neighborhoods where David Berkowitz once prowled the streets. This simple thought gives the film an added eerieness, but Berkowitz and the families of the victims have cried out about how exploitive this film would be. The good news for them is that they are wrong; the movie does not center or dwell on the gruesome slayings, but wisely exposes an open-ended tapestry of feuding stories, characters, and occurrences within a 2-month time period. Jimmy Breslin opens and closes "Summer of Sam," saying, "There are 8-million stories in the Naked City, and this is one of them." It is, indeed, and a truly spellbinding and powerful one at that.

Labour will let football fans vote on who manager is - and block unpopular choices
EXCLUSIVE: Under Labour proposals, at least two club director spots will be saved for accredited supporters' trusts and the board members will be chosen by ballot
by Chris McLaughlinLabour has vowed to give footie fans a say on who scores the manager’s job at their beloved clubs.
The move is part of a raft of measures intended to ensure supporters’ views are represented in all key decisions on how our major sides are run.
And it could help clubs avoid unpopular decisions like the recent appointment of former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur – which powerless fans would have loved to be able to red-card.
Under Labour proposals, at least two club director spots will be reserved for accredited supporters’ trusts and the board members will be chosen by ballots of signed-up fans.
They will get full voting rights on equal status with other commercially appointed members.
Shadow Sports Minister Rosena Allin-Khan said: “Labour will put fans at the heart of football by giving them a far greater say over the way clubs are run.
“We will give them a voice over who the manager is.”
Under the bid to overhaul footie club governance and ownership, supporters’ trusts would also be allowed to buy block shares when clubs change hands – bringing the possibility of securing more board places.
Other aspects of the Labour package include a Fan’s Fare scheme under which supporters would get cash for travel paid back if matches are changed for the benefit of broadcasters.
And new regulations would cover safe standing areas with decisions made jointly by fans, club management and safety authorities.
Proposals also include a guarantee that the Premier League will be legally required to invest five per cent of income from TV rights in the grassroots game to help new generations of players and coaches, and to improve facilities and pitches.
And reviled zero-hour contracts will be banned, preventing the exploitation of ground workers whose loyalty is used to undermine wages.
And reviled zero-hour contracts will be banned, preventing the exploitation of ground workers whose loyalty is used to undermine wages.
Meanwhile, women’s football and the Paralympics will be added to the list of key sporting events required to be broadcast on free-to-air TV.
The plans come after the fan-based model of footie club ownership has already proved a success on the Continent.
In Germany, a majority of club shares must be owned by followers.
Ticket prices are low and the stadiums are full – with safe standing.
Barcelona is owned by 180,000 fans who pay £140 a year and have the right to elect the club president every four years.

Wolfe Creek Crater younger than previously thought
| Source: | University of Portsmouth |
| Summary: | Wolfe Creek Crater, one of the world's largest meteorite craters, is much younger than previously thought. |
Wolfe Creek Crater, one of the world's largest meteorite craters, is much younger than previously thought.
Wolfe Creek Crater is situated on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert in northern Western Australia. It is the second largest crater on Earth from which meteorite fragments have been recovered (the largest is Meteor Crater in Arizona).
It was likely formed by a meteor about 15 metres in diameter, weighing around 14,000 tonnes.
The age of the impact is poorly understood and unpublished data suggests the impact could have occurred around 300,000 years ago.
However, according to a new study led by Dr Tim Barrows from the University of Portsmouth, the most likely age for the impact is 120,000 years ago.
In the study, published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science, researchers from the University of Portsmouth, Australia and the USA calculated the new age of Wolfe Creek Crater using two geochronological dating techniques.
First, the researchers collected samples from around the crater rim and applied exposure dating, which estimates the length of time that a rock has been exposed at the Earth's surface to cosmic radiation.
They were also able to determine the age through optically stimulated luminescence, (a dating technique used to measure how long ago sediment was last exposed to sunlight) on sand buried after the impact.
Dr Barrows said: "The crater is located in a fortuitous situation where we can use two different techniques to determine its age. The impact of the meteorite tilted and overturned the rock, exposing rock that was previously shielded from cosmic radiation. The newly formed crater also deflected the local wind field and created a new set of sand dunes. Results from the two dating techniques mutually support each other within the same age range."
The researchers were able to produce a new topographic survey of the crater using aerial photos by Ted Brattstrom, a school teacher from Hawaii. He flew over the crater in a light aircraft in 2007 and took pictures of the crater from all directions.
The resulting 3D model was used to create a digital elevation model of the crater. The researchers calculate that the maximum width of the crater is 946 metres in a NE-SW direction, reflecting the direction of the impact. The average diameter is 892 metres.
They also predict a crater depth of 178 metres and that it is filled by about 120 metres of sediment, mostly sand blown in from the desert.
Wolfe Creek Crater is one of seven sets of impact craters in Australia dating to within the last 120,000 years. From this, the researchers were able to calculate as to how often these crater-producing events occur.
Dr Barrows said: "Although the rate is only one large meteor hitting Australia every 17,000 years, it isn't that simple. The craters are only found in the arid parts of Australia.
"Elsewhere, the craters are destroyed by geomorphic activity like river migration or slope processes in the mountains. Since Australia has an excellent preservation record with dated craters within the arid zone, we can estimate a rate for the whole Earth. Taking into account that arid Australia is only about one per cent of the surface, the rate increases to one hitting the Earth every 180 years or so. There have been two big objects hitting the atmosphere in the last century — Tunguska in 1908 and Chelyabinsk in 2013.
"This is a minimum estimate because some smaller impacts were probably covered by sand during the last ice age. The number of large objects the atmosphere is probably 20 times this number because stony meteorites are far more common but not as many survive the fiery journey through the atmosphere or effectively make craters. Our results give us a better idea of how frequent these events are."
Using the same geochronological dating techniques, the researchers were also able to recalculate the age Meteor Crater. They found it is likely to be 61,000 years old, over 10,000 years older than previously thought.

- Why Programming?
- As a relatively new science, there's a lot of new things happening. As the hardware improves, we can do more interesting things with the software. I'm fascinated with all the cool new things computers can do, and excited that I seem to have the talent for it.
- Languages, Platforms and Services Oh My!
- My mother taught me to choose the best tool for the job, and technological tools are like any other sort of tool. Assembly is like a hammer: powerful, direct, and bit clumsy. Some developers hate assembly... but sometimes you just need to smack something with a hammer to get the job done. Rails is like a laser cutter: you need to know what you're doing, but it can make beautiful things. Like any good craftsperson, I'm more fond of some tools than others, but I can use more than one.
- What do you Know?
- Languages: I'm most proficient in Ruby and Java, but Python was super easy. C and Assembly were more challenging, but very powerful.
Platforms: Rails was challenging at first, but I absolutely love it now. Django was super easy, but limited. Spring was relatively easy to use, but required some imagination to get it to do what I wanted it to do. YAML is my favorite way to get different languages to interact.
Services: AWS is very powerful, and I prefer it to GoDaddy's web hosting (which doesn't support Ruby or Rails). Heroku is fine for testing deployment, but doesn't scale well and the free version takes forever to load.
Databases: MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL. I prefer to use an IDE to visualize databases but can program SQL if needed.
Version control: Git. Version control is my favorite thing about modern programming.
- About Me, Personally
- I'm passionate about human rights. While one of us is treated like a lesser being, we are all lesser beings. I write for fun and, occasionally, profit and have a very active transgender rights blog.
Gardening is another one of my passions, and my chickens (Lunch and Dinner) love to follow me around and eat all the bugs for me. I love fresh food, and there's something about green and growing things that calms the soul.
I'm not terribly good at photography, but I enjoy it. Thanks to GIMP, I can fix all the lighting and frame issues. This site doesn't have any pictures yet, but it will. Oh yes... it will... MUAAHAHAHA... err... sorry.

I am a clinical neurologist at the University Hospital Bonn and an affiliated research associate at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). In both research and in clinical practice, I focus on the discovery of biomarkers and explanation of pathological patterns through mathematical models in neurodegenerative diseases (primarily LBD, AD, and ALS/FTD). Being a translational neuroscientist, I create a link between problems that are brought up by clinicians and answers given by basic scientists. Furthermore, I strongly believe in freedom of information (not only) in research. Therefore, dedicate myself to bringing principles of open science to the clinical research community (to make it more reproducible, robust and inclusive). I am also interested in the digital transformation of healthcare and how to use medical informatics tools that is beneficial for patients and health-care workers.

SIMPATICO RATING: 5 /10 --> Not a good movie
For more reviews and movie screensavers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
Many claim that an Academy Award nomination is a springboard to bigger and better things. In Sharon Stone's case, her nomination for 1995's CASINO brought her roles in such commercial disasters as DIABOLIQUE, LAST DANCE, SPHERE, THE MIGHTY and GLORIA. Unfortunately for her fans, this film is just another piece of dung to hang on the mantle of bad movie choices.
PLOT: The lives of a rich horse-breeder and his wife are turned upside-down when an old friend returns with some incriminating evidence to link them to a blackmailing scheme which occurred about 20 years earlier.
CRITIQUE: Interesting premise and build-up turns into a ho-hum mystery flick with very little intrigue or originality, filled with overwrought drama in the face of underwhelming secrets and characters who behave in ways inexplicable and unexplained to the audience. Mystery dramas work best when a deep, dark secret draws layers and layers of deceit, blackmail and revenge on top of the original cover-up, but this film basically takes one blackmailing secret and blows it up to be more than what it truly is. In fact, this supposedly "dark secret" seems to have been eating away at these people for over twenty years, but according to what I saw in this film, there wasn't really much to be worrying about in the first place. In fact, the movie doesn't even really bother resolving anything regarding the secret, save for a few bogus attempts by one of the original blackmailers to seek revenge on the others, but even that doesn't really go anywhere. If there is some deeper meaning in this film about how one's past is always set to haunt them, well then fine, whoop-dee-doo, good point.
 What a bust. It's too bad because I was actually interested in this movie for most of its length, with a definite kudo in the way of the flashback sequences which helped establish the back-story as the film progressed. Albert Finney was also a standout as the old man with a sorted past, as well as Keener who spiced up her cute, innocent role with some of her usual flair. Of course, Bridges and Nolte respectively stamped in their proverbial roles as the upper-class dude with great blow-dried hair and the two-bit boozehound with a messed up doo. And Stone, aaah Sharon Stone, what can we say? Can anyone say "over-acting" or a cheap imitation of the classic Jessica Lange drunk? Luckily for her, she's barely in this film, but I think it's time for her agent to start handing her more of the "sexier" scripts, since her foray into the world of character flicks, seems to falling flat. All in all, this film does have a decent premise and solid acting for the most part, but doesn't fill in enough holes, offer enough real suspense or give us enough insight into the motivations of its characters to warrant a recommendation from my end.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Actress Sharon Stone is apparently a member of MENSA, with an IQ of 154. Her first "screen" role was as the "pretty girl on the train" at the beginning of Woody Allen's STARDUST MEMORIES. In 1980, she auditioned and lost the role of Vickie LaMotta to Cathy Moriarty for the Martin Scorsese movie RAGING BULL. Fifteen years later, she starred as Ginger in Martin Scorsese's CASINO and received her first Oscar nomination for her role. According to the IMDb, in 1962 Nick Nolte was given a 5-year probation for selling fake draft cards. Actress Catherine Keener is married to actor Dermot Mulroney. Kimberly Williams plays the "young Sharon Stone" role in this movie. Her first big break was when she was chosen as the lead in the 1991 comedy THE FATHER OF THE BRIDE with Steve Martin. This is director Matthew Warchus' first film as well as his screenwriting debut. The film is actually based on a Sam Shepard play.

This reference page describes the functionality provided for all objects by methods on the Object class. See the tutorial for an introduction to programming in OTcl, and the C API page for details of manipulating objects from C.
Objects in OTcl are instances of classes. They are created through class objects either implicitly, with a widget command syntax, or explicitly, by calling a creation method. After defining a class Bagel with instprocs flavor and size below, a new bagel object called abagel is created and initialized by calling its flavor and size instprocs. The creation process may be customized for any class. See OTcl Classes for details.
% Class Bagel Bagel % Bagel instproc flavor {args} { $self set flavors $args } % Bagel instproc size {s} { $self set bites $s } % Bagel abagel -flavor Sesame -size 12 abagel % abagel info vars flavors bites % abagel set flavors Sesame % abagel set bites 12
Once created, objects are manipulated through methods placed on them directly, and methods they inherit from their class object and its superclasses. The former methods are called procs, the latter instprocs. As in Tcl, there is no distinction between system provided methods (such as info and set) and user provided methods (such as flavor and size). Procs take precedence over instprocs, and the order of inheritance for instprocs is discussed under the superclass instproc in OTcl Classes.
All methods are called through the object by using a widget-like syntax. The method name is used as the first argument, with the method's arguments as subsequent arguments. The most specific method that is found either on the object or in its inheritance ordering will be invoked. The flavor and size methods are called on bagels as follows.
% abagel flavor Sesame Onion Sesame Onion % abagel size 10 10 % abagel set flavors Sesame Onion % abagel set bites 10
Generic objects may be created with the Object class. Object is the repository for the behavior common to all objects. It includes methods for defining new methods and instance variables, initializing and destroying objects, querying them, and so forth. The remainder of this reference page describes these methods. Their functionality can be customized for particular classes or objects by using the standard inheritance mechanisms, or changed directly for all objects by rewriting the methods on Object in Tcl or C.
The alloc proc is used to allocate a fresh object that is an instance of class Object. It is normally called by the system as part of object creation, but may be called by the user.
The system create instproc on Class expects all alloc procs to take the name of the object to allocate, and a list of arguments. It expects them to allocate the object, install it in the interpreter, and return the list of unprocessed arguments. For the case of the Object alloc proc, no additional arguments are processed, and so they are all returned.
To customize object creation, write an init instproc, not an alloc proc. New alloc procs will typically be written in C to allocate structurally different types of object.
% Object alloc foo bar baz bar baz % foo info class Object % foo info procs % foo info vars
The array instproc returns information about array instance variables. It mirrors the Tcl array command. See the Tcl array command for options. Array is conceptually defined as follows.
Object instproc array {opt ary args} { $self instvar $ary eval array [list $opt] [list $ary] $args }
The class instproc changes the class of an object, where the notion of class is expressed using the names of class objects. The class of an object may be changed at any time, with a run-time type checking system enforcing safety as subsequent methods are executed.
% Class Bagel Bagel % Bagel instproc what {} { $self info class } % Class NewBagel NewBagel % Bagel abagel abagel % abagel info class Bagel % abagel what Bagel % abagel set foo bar bar % abagel info vars foo % abagel class NewBagel % abagel info class NewBagel % abagel what abagel: unable to dispatch method what % abagel info vars foo
Changing the class of an object does not change the instance variables and procs it contains, only the instprocs accessible through it. This may be customized with the standard inheritance mechanisms.
The destroy instproc tears down the object, removes it from the interpreter, and releases its memory. Unset traces on instance varaibles are triggered in the process. It takes no arguments, and returns the empty string.
User defined teardown code may be added to objects and classes with the standard inheritance mechanisms.
If the object is also a class, then its instances are destroyed, and classes that depend on it as superclasses have it removed from their superclass list.
There is only one user visible destroy method for both objects and classes. The real teardown work is performed below the method level, through deletion callbacks issued by the Tcl interpreter. This ensures that cleanup will be invoked if the command corresponding to the object is deleted from the interpreter in any manner, including calls to Tcl_DeleteCommand and renaming the command to {}.
% Class Bagel Bagel % Bagel instproc destroy {} { puts "zap!" $self next } % Bagel abagel abagel % abagel proc destroy {} { puts "poof!" $self next } % abagel destroy poof! zap! % info commands abagel
While cleanup (including user defined teardown) occurs even if the command is renamed to {}, calling the destroy method is the preferable way to dispose of an object, since error codes cannot be returned if Tcl_DeleteCommand is triggered directly.
The info instproc is used to query the object and retrieve information about its current state. It mirrors the Tcl info command, and has the following options.
In conjunction with other methods such as array and set, these options can recover most information about the state of an object. As an example, the following proc reverse engineers Tcl procs. This is its output when run on itself.
Object proc retrieve {p} { set txt [list $self proc $p] set al [$self info args $p] set dft {} for {set i 0} {$i < [llength $al]} {incr i} { set av [lindex $al $i] if {[$self info default $p $av dft]} then { set al [lreplace $al $i $i [list $av $dft]] } } lappend txt $al lappend txt [$self info body $p] return $txt }
The init instproc is used to initialize a freshly allocated object that is a direct or indirect instance of the class Object. It is normally called by the system (perhaps from more specialized init instprocs) as part of object creation, but may be called by the user.
init interprets its arguments as pairs of option keys and option values. Each option key should be the name of a valid method for the object, preceded by a dash. The method should take one argument. For each option key and option value pair, init calls the method on the object, with the option value as its argument. It returns the empty string.
To customize object creation, write an init instproc for a class, not an alloc proc. If the option key and option value creation syntax is still desired, then call the Object init instproc by using next. This is discussed in the create instproc in OTcl Classes.
% Class Bagel Bagel % foreach i {1 2 3 4} { Bagel instproc $i {v} {puts $v} } % Bagel abagel abagel % abagel init -1 one -2 two -3 three -4 four! one two three four!
init is conceptually equivalent to the following.
Object instproc init {args} { if {[llength $args]%2 != 0} then { error {uneven number of arguments} } while {$args != {}} { set key [lindex $args 0] if {[string match {-*} $key]} then { set key [string range $key 1 end] } set val [lindex $args 1] if {[catch {$self $key $val} msg]!=0} then { set opt [list $self $key $val] error "$msg during $opt" } set args [lrange $args 2 end] } return {} }
The instvar instproc is used within the body of a method to map instance variables to local variables. It mirrors the Tcl upvar command (and is implemented in terms of it).
Multiple instance variables may be declared at once. The instance variables may be scalars or arrays (but see below), and need not be previously defined. By default the local alias for an instance variable is the same as the name of the instance variable. Renaming in the style of upvar is specified using a two element lists in the declaration. This departs from Tcl upvar syntax, but allows a simple declaration for the majority of cases, with access to the full functionality of upvar when necessary.
% Class Bagel; Bagel abagel abagel % abagel set flavor sesame sesame % abagel set size {12 bites} 12 bites % abagel proc taste {} { $self instvar flavor return $flavor } % abagel taste sesame % abagel proc query {} { $self instvar size {flavor f} return "$f, $size" } % abagel query sesame, 12 bites
Note that the renaming syntax is required to access individual array elements directly. This is because Tcl's upvar does not allow a remote array element to be locally accessed as an array element. Instead, it is often easier to map the whole array for access.
The next instproc is used within the body of a method to call the next-most shadowed method. It is used to combine inherited methods without depending on explicitly knowing their location. For example, it is typically used as part of init instprocs for classes to form an aggregate initialization method. next is analogous to call-next-method in CLOS. See the superclass instproc in OTcl Classes for a discussion of the order of inheritance.
next searches for an instproc method with the same name as the current method. It begins its search after the position in the precedence ordering where the current method was found, if the current method is an instproc, or from the beginning of the precedence ordering of the object's class, if the current method is a proc. The position information between calls to next is recovered from the class variable. If no next method is found, then an empty string is returned without error. Otherwise, the next method is called with the arguments that were passed to next.
The proc instproc is used to install proc methods on an object, for sole use by that object. Use proc to customize individual objects beyond the functionality provided by via their class, not for inheritance. With particular argument forms, proc can also remove proc methods from an object, or specify an autoload script for demand loading of the proc method.
The arguments and body of a proc method are of the same form as a Tcl procedure, with two exceptions. If both args and body are empty, then an existing proc method with the specified name is removed from the object. If args is {auto}, then the body is interpreted as an autoload script as described below.
Within the body of the proc and instproc methods, three special variables are defined. These variables are for reading only. Instance variables may be accessed as local variables by using the instvar instproc.
% Class Bagel; Bagel abagel abagel % abagel info procs % abagel proc flavor {f} { $self instvar flavor set flavor $f return "called $self $proc $f" } % abagel info procs flavor % abagel flavor sesame called abagel flavor sesame
Proc and instproc methods may also be declared to autoload. This function is usually accessed through the higher level demand loading scheme described in OTcl Autoloading.
If the argument list is {auto}, then the body is taken to be a script for demand loading of the method. When the method is invoked, the script will be executed (and should cause the real method to be loaded) and then the method will be restarted. While the stub is waiting to load the method body, the method is recognized as a proc by the info method, but cannot be queried for its body or arguments.
% set tmp [open "tmp" w] file3 % puts $tmp {abagel proc bagel {} { return "bagel" }} % close $tmp % Class Bagel; Bagel abagel abagel % abagel proc bagel auto { puts -nonewline "loading... " source tmp } % abagel bagel loading... bagel % abagel bagel bagel
The set instproc is used to place instance variables on an object as well as to access them. It mirrors the Tcl set command (and is implemented in terms of it). It returns the value of the instance variable. Instance variables may be scalar or array variables. They are stored in separate slots than methods, and so are distinct from methods with the same name.
% Class Bagel; Bagel abagel abagel % abagel info vars % abagel set avar aval aval % abagel set avar aval % abagel set foo(bar) baz baz % abagel set foo(bar) baz % abagel info vars foo avar
The unknown method, if defined for an object, is invoked by the system when no matching method can be found for regular dispatch. By default, it is not defined for Object, but exists as a hook for user defined handlers, such as abbreviations, load monitoring, error reporting, etc. An unknown instproc that implements implicit creation is defined for Class; see its reference page.
Like Tcl's unknown proc, the unknown method receives as its arguments the name of the method that could not be invoked, along with that method's arguments. The result it returns is returned as the overall result of the call.
As an example, the following unknown instproc implements abbreviations and verbose error messsages.
% Object instproc unknown {m args} { foreach i [$self info commands] { lappend meth($i) {} } set cl [$self info class] foreach i [concat $cl [$cl info heritage]] { foreach j [$i info instcommands] { lappend meth($j) {} } } set abbrev [array names meth "$m*"] switch -exact [llength $abbrev] { 0 { error "$self: invalid method \"$m\": [lsort [array names meth]]" } 1 { eval [list $self] $abbrev $args } default { error "$self: ambiguous method \"$m\": [lsort $abbrev]" } } } % Object obj obj % obj f obj: invalid method "f": array class destroy info init instvar next proc set unknown unset % obj i obj: ambiguous method "i": info init instvar % obj d
The unset instproc is used to remove instance variables from an object. It mirrors the Tcl unset command (and is implemented in terms of it).
% Class Bagel; Bagel abagel abagel % abagel set foo bar bar % abagel info vars foo % abagel unset foo % abagel info vars

Education tech firm plans to hire another 300 after moving HQ to East Valley
by Angela Gonzales, Phoenix Business JournalCHANDLER, AZ — Zovio Inc. plans to hire another 300 people at its new Chandler headquarters within the next 12 to 18 months.
Andrew Clark , founder, president and CEO of the education technology services company, told the Business Journal he is encouraged by a plethora of local talent.
He said he still needs to hire technology, accounting, marketing, finance, human resources and data analytics positions to help Zovio's higher education institution and employer clients deliver an enhanced learning experience.
It was a no-brainer for Clark when he decided to move Zovio's headquarters from San Diego to Chandler in April . Clark said he was paying $8 million in annual leases to rent space in San Diego.

Generalized Interaction Data Interface (GIDI)¶
GIDI is a C++ API for reading (and eventually writing) GNDS files. It is being developed at LLNL, and is used by the LLNL codes Mercury (Monte Carlo transport) and ARDRA (deterministic transport). An older version of GIDI has also been released as part of the G4LEND package in GEANT4.

Cucumber can report results in several different formats, using formatters. Formatters are specified either on the command line or in code. Some formatters generate files while others print to STDOUT
. You can specify as many formatters as you like.
The available formatters are:
Prints the gherkin source with additional colours and stack traces for errors
This report is handy for publishing
This report contains all the information from the gherkin source, with additional results for each step, including embedded screenshots. This report is meant to be post-processed into another visual format by 3rd party tools such as Cucumber Jenkins.
This report prints results to STDOUT
, on character at a time. It looks like this:
....F--U.......
This report prints statistics to STDOUT
. Programmers may find it useful to find slow or unused Step Definitions.
This report generates XML files just like Apache Ant’s junitreport task. This XML format is understood by most Continuous Integration servers, who will use it to generate visual reports.
This report generates a file that lists the location of failed Scenarios. This can be picked up by subsequent Cucumber runs, allowing only previously failed Scenarios to be rerun. Programmers may find this useful while fixing broken scenarios, especially if running all scenarios is time-consuming.
Programmers can embed text and images into reports via an API that is available in Step Definitions and Hooks. This can make it easier to diagnose failures. Some reports will ignore embedded data while others will include it.
Text is embedded in the following way:
When /I do the deed/ do
puts 'This goes into the report'
Kernel.puts 'This goes to STDOUT, but not into the report'
end
@Before
public void before(Scenario scenario) {
this.scenario = scenario;
}
@When("I do the deed")
public void do_the_deed() {
scenario.write("This goes into the report");
System.out.println("This goes to STDOUT, but not into the report");
}
TODO: Add an image of a report with a screenshot. Can be a close-up with a small section.
If you are using Cucumber with a GUI driver such as a Browser Automation tool, it can sometimes be useful to embed screenshots or videos of the user interface in Cucumber’s HTML or JSON report.
Cucumber itself doesn’t provide an API to take screenshots or videos, but it provides an API to embed them into the report. For example, if you are using Selenium WebDriver, you can ask it to give you a screenshot, and then embed them into the report.
After do |scenario|
if(scenario.failed?)
page.driver.browser.save_screenshot("html-report/#{scenario.__id__}.png")
embed("#{scenario.__id__}.png", "image/png", "SCREENSHOT")
end
end
@After
public void embedScreenshot(Scenario scenario) {
if(result.isFailed()) {
byte[] screenshot = webDriver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
scenario.embed(screenshot, "image/png");
}
}


Knitting used to be considered an activity for older ladies. Now it's more widespread and knitters can be found in every demographic. It can be as easy or difficult, as affordable or pricey as you want.
Sometimes I'd pick a fairly easy project and knit while walking. When that walking is done at San Diego Comic-Con, it can make for interesting photo opportunities.

Knitter's Review is a great resource for knitters. The layout is well-defined and you can explore different areas of information from the top nav area.
Knitty is an online magazine featuring patterns and a few articles. It's a good way to get acquainted with up and coming designers. Their patterns have a fairly accurate difficulty rating system.
Ravelry is an online community of crafters. Users can track progress of their projects, keep record of their yarn stash, find patterns and chat with crafty people with similar interests. Love SQL and knitting? There's a forum for that.

I tried. I really did. But after reraveling this gorgeous yarn from Mommy's stash I just HAD to see how it would work out in a pattern. Sarah Castor's Honeycomb vest seemed like the perfect fit for the yarn's color and quality, and because I wanted (really, really badly) to knit it since I first laid my eyes on it I couldn't resist. And well, here's the result:


MI NISMO ANDJELI (WE'RE NO ANGELS) (1992) A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
The old saying about forbidden fruit being the sweetest can be best illustrated with the way Croatian public greeted Serbian films in the darkest hours of recent Balkan wars. During those times Tudjman's regime tried to severe any cultural link between Croatia and former federal partner and state propaganda machinery mercilessly tried to turn Serbia into this Earth's equivalent of Mordor and their inhabitants into Orcs. State- sanctioned chauvinism reflected not only in the official ban of all Serbian cultural imports, but also with brutal censorship of media materials in Croatia proper. For example, even 100% Croatian films made in Communist past were forbidden from being shown on TV for the simple reason of having distinguished Serbian actor in one of major roles. Naturally, overzealous implementation of such policy created almost instinctive reaction of certain segments in Croatian movie going public; this reaction manifested in Serbian films becoming popular ingredient of any wilder party, and gradually many enterprising individuals began crossing battle-lines and supplying this newly formed market. The circle of people who enjoyed and appreciated Serbian films steadily grew, and when the cultural barriers between two countries collapsed few years ago, nobody was particularly surprised to see Serbian films in Croatia being almost as popular as films made in Hollywood.
Among the first batch of Serbian films that turned into cult material was MI NISMO ANDJELI, comedy directed in 1992 by Srdjan Dragojevic. The plot of the film is rather simple and it features Angel (played by Uros Djuric) and Devil (played by Srdjan Todorovic). Two of them are fighting for the soul of Nikola (played by Nikola Kojo), Belgrade playboy who is enjoying reputation of city's top heartthrob despite the fact that he treats women like garbage. One of his latest victims is Marina (played by Milena Pavlovic), mousy 18-year old high school who slept with Nikola after accidentally getting drunk during the party. Few months later Nikola doesn't remember the incident or the girl, but this Marina is carrying his child. Thankfully, Marina's best friend Bubi (played by Branka Katic) tells her not to reconcile with this and two of them begin working very hard in order to hook Nikola with Marina again. Before this happens, Nikola is going to experience some rather strange events, thanks to the manipulations of Angel and Devil.
If you want to see effects of war on filmmaker, you should compare MI NISMO ANDJELI with other works of Srdjan Dragojevic who would later become cinematic celebrity thanks to his gritty war dramas PRETTY VILLAGES, PRETTY FLAMES and WOUNDS. When the first segments of the film were being shot, the old Yugoslavia was still in one piece, and the protagonists are having vacation in Croatian parts of Adriatic Coast (references to one particular island were later creating salvos of laughter among local Croatian public). The war actually manifested itself only in one, not particularly inspired scene with Bubi's father in military fatigues, a scene that would create more winces than laughs. Apart from that, MI NISMO ANDJELI is completely set in its own fantasy world that consists of teenagers and playboys from well-to-do Belgrade families, who listen to rockabilly music and live life closer to standards of 1950s America than brutal 1990s Balkans. Dragojevic, however, sometimes gives few glimpses of real Serbia, but those glimpses are more in parodical nature (especially when they deal with Serbian folk music subculture that went hand-in-hand with extreme Serb nationalism) and not very different from scenes in which Dragojevic gives homage to his cult classics like TWIN PEAKS and ALIEN. Lack of perspective and solid plot is, however, more than compensated with Dragojevic's incredible sense of humour. Not burdened with war and atrocities, humour in MI NISMO ANDJELI provides light but effective entertainment.
Apart from humour, main strength of MI NISMO ANDJELI is in characters, which are played by diverse but very talented cast. The most recognisable face to foreign audiences is Nikola Kojo, who had worked with Dragojevic in his two later films. But the best impression is left by Branka Katic, actress who turned otherwise supporting role into the most sympathetic and memorable character. Those who are fans of ex-YU cinema from past decades would probably enjoy seeing faces of Eva Ras, Bogdan Diklic and Predrag `Miki' Manojlovic in bit parts. Perhaps the only weakness of the film is in its local nature - in order to truly appreciate the humour and references of the film, viewer must at least be familiar with former Yugoslavia. However, those who give MI NISMO ANDJELI a try, are probably going to be rewarded with film which deservedly broke through even the hardest cultural and political barriers.

You can control physical objects by triggering forces. Or maybe you want to respond to collisions, e.g. by substracting health points, or by playing a sound. To specify how the game responds to such physics events, you use Physics Listeners.
The jBullet Physics implementation is stepped at a constant 60 physics ticks per second frame rate. Applying forces or checking for overlaps only has an effect right at a physics update cycle, which is not every frame. If you do physics interactions at arbitrary spots in the simpleUpdate() loop, calls will be dropped at irregular intervals, because they happen out of cycle.
When you write game mechanics that apply forces, you must implement a tick listener (com.jme3.bullet.PhysicsTickListener) for it. The tick listener makes certain the forces are not dropped, but applied in time for the next physics tick.
Also, when you check for overlaps of physical objects with a PhysicsGhostObject, you cannot just go physicsSpace.add(ghost); ghost.getOverLappingObjects()
somewhere. You have to make certain 1 physics tick has passed before the overlapping objects list is filled with data. Again, the PhysicsTickListener does that for you.
When your game mechanics however just poll the current state (e.g. location) of physical objects, or if you only use the Ghost control like a sphere trigger, then you don't need a PhysicsTickListener.
Here's is the declaration of an examplary Physics Control that listens to ticks.
public class MyCustomControl extends RigidBodyControl implements PhysicsTickListener { ... }
When you implement the interface, you have to implement preTick() and postTick() methods.
prePhysicsTick()
is called before the step, here you apply forces (change the state).physicsTick()
is called after the step, here you poll the results (get the current state).@override public void prePhysicsTick(PhysicsSpace space, float f){ // apply state changes ... } @override public void physicsTick(PhysicsSpace space, float f){ // poll game state ... }
If you do not implement the Collision Listener interface (com.jme3.bullet.collision.PhysicsCollisionListener), a collisions will just mean that physical forces are applied automatically. If you just want "Balls rolling, bricks falling" you do not need a listener. If however you want to respond to a collision event (com.jme3.bullet.collision.PhysicsCollisionEvent) with a custom action, then you need to implement the PhysicsCollisionListener interface. Typical actions triggered by collisions include:
You need to add the PhysicsCollisionListener to the physics space before collisions will be listened for. Again, here's the example declaration of a Physics Control that uses a collision listener.
public class MyCustomControl extends RigidBodyControl implements PhysicsCollisionListener { public MyCustomControl() { bulletAppState.getPhysicsSpace().addCollisionListener(this); ... }
To respond to the PhysicsCollisionEvent you have to override the collision()
method. This gives you access to the event object. Mostly you will be interested in the identity of any two nodes that collided: event.getNodeA()
and event.getNodeB()
.
After you identify the colliding nodes, specify the action to trigger when this pair collides. Note that you cannot know which one will be Node A or Node B, you have to deal with either variant.
public void collision(PhysicsCollisionEvent event) { if ( event.getNodeA().getName().equals("player") ) { final Node node = event.getNodeA(); /** ... do something with the node ... */ } else if ( event.getNodeB().getName().equals("player") ) { final Node node = event.getNodeB(); /** ... do something with the node ... */ } }
The PhysicsCollisionEvent event
gives you access to detailed information about the collision. You already know the event objects can identify which nodes collided, but it even knows how hard they collided:
| Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
| getObjectA() getObjectB() | The two participants in the collision. You cannot know in advance whether some node will be recorded as A or B, you always have to consider both cases. |
| getAppliedImpulse() | A float value representing the collision impulse |
| getAppliedImpulseLateral1() | A float value representing the lateral collision impulse |
| getAppliedImpulseLateral2() | A float value representing the lateral collision impulse |
| getCombinedFriction() | A float value representing the collision friction |
| getCombinedRestitution() | A float value representing the collision restitution (bounciness) |
Note that after the collision method has been called the object is not valid anymore so you should copy any data you want to keep into local variables.

Security guards killed in horror crash
TWO Safeguard Security employees died on the spot yesterday after the vehicle they were travelling in rammed into a tree while trying to avoid a head-on collision on a curve in Bulawayo’s Suburbs suburb.
The accident near The Amphitheatre occurred just after 10AM as the vehicle was driving to Suburbs from the city’s central business district along Fourth Avenue Extension.
It is alleged that the driver of the car was speeding and attempted to overtake another vehicle on a curve while there was an oncoming vehicle resulting in the fatal accident.
No other person was injured in the accident.
When a Chronicle news crew arrived at the scene at about 11am the bodies of the two victims were yet to be retrieved and traffic police officers were at the site.
Safeguard Security staff at the scene declined to comment.
A source said the two accident victims were part of the security company’s rapid response team but did not disclose if they had been rushing to an emergency at the time of their deaths.
Members of the public were milling around the scene, waiting for the cops to retrieve the bodies.
“From the look of things, the driver could have been speeding. We are told that the accident occurred as he was trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle as he was trying to overtake on the curve. Surprisingly, the tree they rammed into did not even have a scratch. But this accident only points to speeding,” said one of those who were at the scene. Bulawayo police spokesperson Chief Inspector Precious Simango said: “I have heard of the accident but because I’m out of office I do not have specific information on it. However, as police we appeal to members of the public to exercise caution on the roads to avoid unnecessary loss of lives. Drivers should follow the rules of the road.”

JavaScript: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
June 1, 2014
Amazon.com
When did my love affair with Amazon begin? I believe it was freshman year of college, when I was discovering many new things, and this handsome, confident, attractively geek-ish web service bummed into my email inbox: Amazon Prime. Everything that I could ever want or need was now made available to me within 2 business days absolutely free. It had every quality I looked for in an e commerce platform and I've been faithful ever since.
Amazon.com's homepage has a clean, friendly, personalized, organized, and inviting quality to it, which aligns with what the company's service. Taking a more critical approach, I might say the homepage is rather "busy" with many product suggestions and ads scattered about. But given most people immediately go to the search bar upon entering the site, I believe the homepage space, under the navigation header, is less about helping you navigate the website and more about catching your attention with something you'd like to buy which makes "business" understandable.
Pandora.com
While Pandora is more of a web app rather than the kind of website that the assignment questions refer to, I couldn't leave it out. Pandora first exposed me to music outside of radio and adeptly curated my interest in music. The website's layout is exception with a fixed header of control buttons (play, pause, etc) and a "quick reference" section at the bottom that describes the artist and the song. I find this bottom section extremely useful, as I don't have to take time to google the artist and ultimately get distracted, and I can view a further description without stopping the music. I would say the interface is cool, clean, informative, and easy-to-navigate.
FareCompare.com
In my past life, I booked a lot of international flights and farecompare.com as my go-to service. It excelled in including more airlines than any other travel site (eg some budget airlines are not listed on Kayak, etc) and in providing a plethora of filtering options. In terms of interface, the homepage focus it's "above the fold" space on an app-like area where you can type your desired flight details - this is perfect. In terms of feel, it has a somewhat bland complexion and I supposed I'd describe it as basic, functional, and professional.


Menu
This website is part of the course Software development for the Web
Here is my forked git repo GitHub


The goal of polite
is to promote responsible web etiquette.
“bow and scrape” (verb):
To make a deep bow with the right leg drawn back (thus scraping the floor), left hand pressed across the abdomen, right arm held aside.
(idiomatic, by extension) To behave in a servile, obsequious, or excessively polite manner. [1]
Source: Wiktionary, The free dictionary
The package’s two main functions bow
and scrape
define and realize a web harvesting session. bow
is used to introduce the client to the host and ask for permission to scrape (by inquiring against the host’s robots.txt
file), while scrape
is the main function for retrieving data from the remote server. Once the connection is established, there’s no need to bow
again. Rather, in order to adjust a scraping URL the user can simply nod
to the new path, which updates the session’s URL, making sure that the new location can be negotiated against robots.txt
.
The three pillars of a polite session
are seeking permission, taking slowly and never asking twice.
The package builds on awesome toolkits for defining and managing http sessions (httr
and rvest
), declaring the user agent string and investigating site policies (robotstxt
), and utilizing rate-limiting and response caching (ratelimitr
amd memoise
).
You can install the development version of polite
from GitHub with:
This is a basic example which shows how to retrive the list of semi-soft cheeses from www.cheese.com. Here, we authenticate a session and then scrape the page with specified parameters. Behind the scenes polite
retrieves robots.txt
, checks the URL and user agent string against it, caches the call to robots.txt
and to the web page and enforces rate limiting.
library(polite)
library(rvest)
session <- bow("https://www.cheese.com/by_type", force = TRUE)
result <- scrape(session, query=list(t="semi-soft",per_page=100)) %>%
html_node("#main-body") %>%
html_nodes("h3") %>%
html_text()
head(result)
#> [1] "3-Cheese Italian Blend" "Abbaye de Citeaux"
#> [3] "Abbaye du Mont des Cats" "Adelost"
#> [5] "ADL Brick Cheese" "Ailsa Craig"
You can build your own functions that incorporate bow
, scrape
(and, if required, nod
). Here we will extend our inquiry into cheeses and will download all cheese names and URLs to their information pages. Let’s retrieve the number of pages per letter in the alphabetical list, keeping the number of results per page to 100 to minimize number of web requests.
library(polite)
library(rvest)
library(purrr)
library(dplyr)
session <- bow("https://www.cheese.com/alphabetical")
# this is only to illustrate the example.
letters <- letters[1:3] # delete this line to scrape all letters
responses <- map(letters, ~scrape(session, query = list(per_page=100,i=.x)) )
results <- map(responses, ~html_nodes(.x, "#id_page li") %>%
html_text(trim = TRUE) %>%
as.numeric() %>%
tail(1) ) %>%
map(~pluck(.x, 1, .default=1))
pages_df <- tibble(letter = rep.int(letters, times=unlist(results)),
pages = unlist(map(results, ~seq.int(from=1, to=.x))))
pages_df
#> # A tibble: 6 x 2
#> letter pages
#> <chr> <int>
#> 1 a 1
#> 2 b 1
#> 3 b 2
#> 4 c 1
#> 5 c 2
#> 6 c 3
Now that we know how many pages to retrieve from each letter page, let’s rotate over letter pages and retrieve cheese names and underlying links to cheese details. We will need to write a helper function. Our session is still valid and we don’t need to nod
again, because we will not be modifying a page URL, only its parameters (note that the field url
is missing from scrape
function).
get_cheese_page <- function(letter, pages){
lnks <- scrape(session, query=list(per_page=100,i=letter,page=pages)) %>%
html_nodes("h3 a")
tibble(name=lnks %>% html_text(),
link=lnks %>% html_attr("href"))
}
df <- pages_df %>% pmap_df(get_cheese_page)
df
#> # A tibble: 515 x 2
#> name link
#> <chr> <chr>
#> 1 Abbaye de Belloc /abbaye-de-belloc/
#> 2 Abbaye de Belval /abbaye-de-belval/
#> 3 Abbaye de Citeaux /abbaye-de-citeaux/
#> 4 Abbaye de Timadeuc /abbaye-de-timadeuc/
#> 5 Abbaye du Mont des Cats /abbaye-du-mont-des-cats/
