Patrick Moore Week 02 Exercise 02
Having summarized the origins of the Web, and its current state, we now look at some possible directions in which developments could take it in the coming years. One can separate these into three long term goals. The first involves the improvement of the infrastructure, to provide a more functional, robust, efficient and available service. The second is to enhance the web as a means of communication and interaction between people. The third is to allow the web, apart from being a space browseable by humans, to contain rich data in a form understandable by machines.
When the web was designed, the fact that anyone could start a server, and it could run happily on the Internet without regard to registration with any central authority or with the number of other HTTP servers which others might be running was seen as a key property, which enabled it to "scale". Today, such scaling is not enough. The numbers of clients is so great that the need is for a server to be able to operate more or less independently of the number of clients.
Another cause for evolution is the fact that business is now relying on the Web to the extent that outages of servers or network are not considered acceptable. One would prefer an adaptive system which would configure itself so as to best use the resources available to the various communities to optimize the quality of service perceived. This is not a simple problem.
It includes the problems of:

Late summer flavours abound in this beautiful layered dessert with crisp crumble and soft poached fruit.
Preheat the oven to 170C/320F/Gas 3. Lightly grease a baking tray.
For the almond crumble, place all the dry ingredients into a free-standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly at medium speed, then add the butter and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Crumble the dough onto the greased baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden-brown, and then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
For the gooseberry jelly, place the gooseberries, sugar, lemon juice and 200ml/7fl oz water in a bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water, making sure the water doesn’t touch the base of the bowl. Cover with a lid and leave for one hour.
Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids.
Measure out 400ml/14fl oz of the gooseberry juice, pour into a pan and heat to near-boiling point. Remove from the heat.
Squeeze out any excess water from the softened gelatine and add the gelatine to the juice. Whisk until the gelatine dissolves. Divide the mixture between eight round-bottomed glasses and leave it to cool. Place in the fridge to set.
For the poached nectarines, put the sugar and wine into a heavy-based pan, add 500ml/18fl oz water and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Gently drop the nectarines into the poaching syrup. Bring back to the boil over a medium heat, then turn the heat down, cover and cook at a bare simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the nectarines are tender when tested with a small, sharp knife.
Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Lift the fruit out of the syrup and pull off the skins, then return the fruit to the syrup and set aside, covered, at room temperature.
For the gooseberry fool, place the gooseberries in a heavy-based pan and add the sugar, lemon juice and zest and a tablespoon of water. Cook over a medium heat for about five minutes, until you have a moist compôte; the softened fruit should be bound in its juices, but with no excess liquid remaining. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Pour the cream into a large bowl and add the vanilla seeds.
Add the icing sugar to the cream and whisk until the cream is rich and aerated, but still retains its fluidity. Gently fold in the gooseberry compôte with a rubber spatula. The finished fool should drop easily off the spatula – it must still be creamy, not a stiff, set mousse.
To serve, cut each greengage half into three wedges. Lift the nectarines out of the syrup and chop them into 1cm/½in pieces.
Divide the chopped nectarines equally between the glasses containing the gooseberry jelly, and divide all but two tablespoons of the almond crumble between the glasses.
 Dress the sliced greengages in a little of the nectarine syrup, put them on top of the fool and finish with a fine sprinkle of the remaining crumble.

JVM Garbage Collector Switches
19 May 2015
I took this from my Java best practices notes training. This is a verbatim of the switches I used as part of our exercises.
In many cases an application can meet performance goals with the default garbage collector. For sufficiently large applications that scale to large numbers of threads, processors, sockets, or a large amount of memory choosing an appropriate garbage collector will make a difference.
 It was the default on all of Sun's VMs prior to Java 5. There is no communication overhead between threads. Best for a single processor machine or a multiprocessor machine with small (say < 100 MB) data sets.
-XX:+UseParallelGC
Parallel Collector also known as the Throughput Collector. The young generation will be collected using a Parallel Collector. It is intended for applications with medium- to large-sized data sets that are run on multiprocessor or multi-threaded hardware. It is only available after java 1.3.1. and is the default for server VMs on Java 5 and 6. The old generation defaults to collection by the Serial Collector.
-XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
This setting will use the Concurrent Mark and Sweep Collector for the old generation and the Parallel New GC for the young space. The difference between UseParNewGC (parallel copying collector in the new space) and UseParallelGC is that the copy phase in the former uses multiple threads while the latter uses a single thread.
-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+UseParallelOldGC
This setting uses the Parallel (Throughput) Collector for the young generation and uses parallel threads rather than a Serial Collector for the old generation.
UseG1GC
G1 collector does both the young and tenured spaces. It is best for applications that require large heaps with limited GC latency. Large means
heap sizes of around 6GB or larger, and stable and predictable pause time below 0.5 seconds.
-XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy
Use built-in tuning with the Parallel (Throughput) collector. It keeps statistics and adjusts the sizes of the young and old generation.
-XX:+AggressiveHeap
Uses the Parallel Collector with adaptive sizing. The JVM can attempt to aggressively tune the parameters of its tuning algorithm based on using all the resources of the operating system on which you are running. It attempts to set various parameters to be optimal for long-running, memory allocation-intensive jobs. In situations where the JVM can use all of the resources of the operating system, use this option to determine if the JVM can deliver satisfactory results.
-XX:GCTimeRatio=nnn
A hint to the virtual machine that it's desirable that not more than 1 / (1 + nnn) of the application execution time be spent in the collector.

[§124A-154] Conduct unbecoming an officer. Any commissioned officer who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. [L 1982, c 171, pt of §2]


212. Data Transmission
time limit per test: 2 sec.
memory limit per test: 65536
KB
input: standard
output: standard
Recently one known microprocessor productioner has developed the
new type of microprocessors that can be used in difficult mathematical
calculations. The processor contains N so called nodes that are
connected by M channels. Data organized in packets, pass from
source node to target node by channels and are processed by
the intermediate nodes.
Each node has its level that determines
the type of work this node does. The source node has level 1 while the target
node has level L. For data to be correctly processed each packet of it must pass
in order all nodes with levels from 1 to L — that is, first it must be processed
by the source node, after that by some node of level 2, so on, and finally by
the target node.
Nodes can process as much data as they are asked to,
however channels can only transmit the limited amount of data in a unit of time.
For synchronization reasons, any data can only be transmitted from a node with
level i to some node with level i+1 and cannot be transmitted between nodes
which levels differ by more than one or from a node of higher level to a node of
lower level. Nodes are so fast that they can process data packet immediately, so
as soon as it reaches the node it is ready to be transmitted to the node of the
next level.
No data should stall in any node and no node can produce its
own data, so each unit of time the number of packets coming to any node except
source and target, must be equal to the number of packets leaving this node.
The scheme of data transmission that satisfies the conditions provided
is called the data flow. Data flow is called blocking if there
is no way to increase the value of the data flow just increasing the amount of
data passing by some channels (however, there may be the way to increase it,
decreasing the amount of data for some channels and increasing for
other ones).
Your task is to find some blocking data flow for the
microprocessor given its scheme. Note, that you need not find the
maximal possible data flow, just any blocking one.
Input
The first line of the input file contains three integer
numbers — N, M and L (2 ≤ N ≤ 1,500, 1 ≤ M ≤ 300,000, 2 ≤ L ≤ N). Let nodes be
numbered from 1 to N. The second line contains N integer numbers, i-th of them
is the level li of the i-th node (1 ≤ li ≤ L). Only one
node has level 1, that is the source node, and only one node has level L — that
is the target node.
Next M lines describe channels, each lines contains
three integer numbers a, b and c — nodes connected by this channel and its
capacity in packets per unit of time (1 ≤ a, b ≤ N, lb =
la + 1, 1 ≤ c ≤ 106).
Two nodes can be connected
by at most one channel.
Output
Output the description of the data flow found. Output file
must contain M lines, they must correspond to channels and contain the amount of
data transmitted by the channel in a unit of time. Channels must be listed in
the order they are specified in the input file.

NAME
dataset
SYNOPSIS
dataset [GLOBAL_OPTIONS] VERB OPTIONS
COLLECTION_NAME [PRAMETER …]
DESCRIPTION
dataset command line interface supports creating JSON object
collections and managing the JSON object documents in a collection.
When creating new documents in the collection or updating documents
in the collection the JSON source can be read from the command line, a
file or from standard input.
SUPPORTED VERBS
- help will give documentation of help on a verb, e.g. “help
create”
- create, creates a new JSON document in the collection
- read, retrieves the “current” version of a JSON document from the
collection writing it standard out
- update, updates a JSON document in the collection
- delete, removes all versions of a JSON document from the
collection
- keys, returns a list of keys in the collection
- codemeta, copies metadata a codemeta file and updates the
collections metadata
- attach, attaches a document to a JSON object record
- attachments, lists the attachments associated with a JSON object
record
- retrieve, creates a copy local of an attachement in a JSON
record
- prune, removes and attachment from a JSON record
- frame-names, lists the frames defined in a collection
- frame, will add a data frame to a collection
- frame-def will return the definition of a frame
- frame-keys will retrieve the object keys in a frame
- frame-objects will retrieve the object list in a frame
- reframe, will recreate a frame using its existing definition but
replacing objects based on a new set of keys provided
- refresh, will update all objects currently in the frame based on the
current state of the collection. Any keys deleted in the collection will
be delete from the frame.
- delete-frame, will remove a frame from the collection
- has-frame, will return true (exit 0) if frame exists, false (exit 1)
if not
- attachments, will list any attachments for a JSON document
- attach, will add an attachment to a JSON document
- detach, will copy out the attachment to a JSON document into the
current directory
- prune, will remove all versions of an attachment from the JSON
document
- set-versioning, will set the versioning of a collection, versioning
value can be ““,”none”, “major”, “minor”, or “patch”
- get-versioning, will display the versioning setting for a
collection
A word about “keys”. dataset uses the concept of key/values for
storing JSON documents where the key is a unique identifier and the
value is the object to be stored. Keys must be lower case alpha numeric
only. Depending on storage engines there are issues for keys with
punctation or that rely on case sensitivity. E.g. The pairtree storage
engine relies on the host file system. File systems are notorious for
being picky about non-alpha numeric characters and some are not case
sensistive.
A word about “GLOBAL_OPTIONS” in v2 of dataset. Originally all
options came after the command name, now they tend to come after the
verb itself. This is because context counts in trying to remember
options (at least for the authors of dataset). There are three
“GLOBAL_OPTIONS” that are exception and they are -version
,
-help
and -license
. All other options come
after the verb and apply to the specific action the verb implements.
OPTIONS
- -help
-
display help
- -license
-
display license
- -version
-
display version
EXAMPLES
dataset help init
dataset init my_objects.ds
dataset help create
dataset create my_objects.ds "123" '{"one": 1}'
dataset create my_objects.ds "234" mydata.json
cat <<EOT | dataset create my_objects.ds "345"

Electrical fire put out at University Hospital of the West Indies
Eighteen patients had to be evacuated from a medical ward at the University Hospital of the West Indies today following an electrical fire.
The Jamaica Fire Brigade says the fire was quickly contained.
In the meantime, the hospital's management says there were no injuries.
Firefighters and hospital staff are assessing the damage.


Simple.css is a bare-boned responsive CSS "framework" made to be customized. No fancy components, no JS plugins, no bloat. Simple.css is not made for the copy-paste web developer, it's for people who like to start with something simple and do the rest by themselves.
Contribute, check out the source code on GitHub or just download the minified version from this website.
In order to use Simple.css you need to complete two simple steps:
simple.min.css
in your project's vendor/css folder.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="simple.min.css">
Note: If you didn't already know how to use a css framework then Simple is probably not for you.
There is no grid. Actually there is but not in the traditional sense of a predefined column number grid.
You do need a .container
, a .row
and at least a
.col
but the way you set the width, height and offsets using Simple is different.
There is no learning curve as long as you can remember 3 things:
w
means widthh
means height
Let's say I want two divs
, each with one row. The first div
will have 3 columns, all equal. The second div
will have 2 columns, but I'd like the first column to be 3/5 of the total width.
Code:

1/3 width

1/3 width

1/3 width

3/5 width

2/5 width

Output:
Half of something can be interpreted as 1/2, 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10 or 6/12. Any version you would like to use, it will work - you can also combine them.
Anything above 12 divisions will not work (ex: w1/14
, w6/15
).
You can add responsive capabilities to your layout by simply adding some classes.
The default classes will apply to all screen sizes unless you specify overrides.
Remember two things:
m
means mobilet
means tablet
If you want a div
to take 50% width on desktop and tablet, but take 100% width on mobile devices:

Just prepend the targeted column size classes with m:
or t:
and you are ready to go.
Try resizing this window.
Removing offsets on mobile/tablet
If you set a general offset class (ex: .o1/5
) and you want to remove it on mobile/tablet, you can use .m:o0
or .t:o0
.
All font sizes are expressed in ems
, you can change all at once by modifying the font size of the body
or by brewing your own sizes. Here are the used font families:
body {
font-family: "HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
}
code, code * {
font-family: Consolas, "Andale Mono WT", "Andale Mono", "Lucida Console", "Lucida Sans Typewriter", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Liberation Mono", "Nimbus Mono L", Monaco, "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
}
There is only one button styling and a .large
helper class for making it bigger. The styling is applied to all elements that fit the following selectors: button
, .button
, input[type=submit]
, input[type=reset]
.
| Name | Age | Sex |
|---|---|---|
| Johnny Long | 24 | M |
| Johnny Long | 24 | M |
| Johnny Long | 24 | M |
| Johnny Long | 24 | M |
ULs
OLs
The
tag is acting like a

. You can have it single-line or multi-line.
Come to the dark side!
We have cookies!
We have Zoidberg!
Simple has a few CSS utility classes that you can use:
.left
will float an element to left.right
will float an element to right.block
will change the display of an element to block.fill
will change the width of and element to 100%Hey, I'm Andrew - thanks for trying Simple. Please contribute to it and help me grow it.

The Peace Academy Episode 20 // Msp-Waves Radio Show Notes and Audio
Last week on the Peace Academy we discussed breaking free from a victim mentality.
Psychological studies have shown that those who choose to maintain a victim mentality are often selfish, manipulative, filled with anger, and have an irrational sense of entitlement.
We all have struggles, but we don’t have to let our struggle become our identity.
Understanding that our own thoughts shape our realities, self-awareness, taking responsibility for our life choices, and letting go of the past are all ways to move away from a victim mentality mindset.
There’s a saying, “Victims are violent”
Those exhibiting the most toxic form of victim mentality are often filled with unresolved anger that is usually directed toward others in the form of blaming, emotional manipulation emotional blackmail, or revenge/punishment.
I’ll talk more about how to deal with Toxic Behaviors in the next Peace Academy Curriculum post.

Text description provided by the architects. A house with arches and 2 courtyards in the hybridization of cultures and influences. At the start of the design process, the request of the client was clear, they preferred “Singapore’s Peranakan architectural features”, in other words, an extraordinary atmosphere for the house, and furthermore they had a clear image of room location, and façade. For this reason, at first, taking Peranakan architectural elements into the design, creating a plan which the client requested, in spite of this approach, the distance from the real taste of the client request got expanded.
Therefore, the concept was created in a way that the Peranakan architectural pilotis element is incorporated with Japanese-style row houses. The Peranakan architecture features a landscape as an arcade, by connecting the front space of porches of buildings and the sidewall arches together in a row.
The size of the arches varies rhythmically, and to the back of the house, its layers are overlapped, this setting makes the shadows in the space, adding depth to the whole house image. Inside the rooms, there is a sense of expectation as if passing through the pilotis of Peranakan architecture, space where one can feel the connection with the outside, the design which is as if cutting a part of arches produces a sense of openness with this efficient visual effect.
As for the space structure with the outside, the house is built in a maximum building coverage ratio like a row house, and a front yard and a courtyard are set inside. These yards connect softly between the outside space and the private inside space, a sense of openness going through vertically from the sky, feeling the natural sunlight along with seasons and time, which in effect, creates a profound openness and moves. In addition, the exterior walls consisting of the façade and the courtyard let the wind through the gaps in the feet because of the cantilever.
Regarding interior ventilation and heat insulation, by the concept that wishing the residents and the building would be equally healthy, the walls and the ceiling are made in a natural material, plaster-oriented finish, having the high effect of adjustment, enjoying the taste of materials at the same time. As for the heat insulation, wooden sprayed insulation is chosen, the sash is created with multi-layered glass (partly using vacuum glass) to improve thermal insulation performance. Plus, the second type of ventilation system is selected, which removes impurities from the outside air through a filter, this enables clean air to circulate through to every corner of the house.
This plan was created by cutting and rebuilding an aged adjacent row house. This house was reborn by reinterpreted exotic architectural elements arches, the front yard, and the courtyard. Light, wind and the daily changes of the seasons can be felt firmly in this house. A comfortable daily life would be spent by the residents, adding an essence of simple but exotic elements, and hoping this environment would cherish their hearts richly.

console.log(loopVar);
}, 1 * i);
}
Nope, still broken.
What exactly is happening here?
We throw five functions into the Event Loop , a queue of callback functions that JavaScript will execute in order when it has time.
When the function executes, it looks for the variable i
. It finds it, and it finds that i
is equal to 5, because the for loop has already exited, running much faster than any of the functions within the loop.
What we need to do is to connect the value of i
somehow to the function we pass to setTimeout
. We can do that by wrapping setTimeout
in an IIFE
, or an Immediately Invoked Function Expression.
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
(function (i) {
setTimeout(function () {
console.log(i);
}, 1 * i);
})(i);
}
0, 1, 2, 3, 4
.
Okay. It works. But why does this work?
Enter Closures
Closures combine the context in which a function is called with the function itself. It allows us to execute a function outside of the context in which it was defined and still access that original context.
You might not have considered this, but the way in which you declare a variable affects its scope.
var is scoped to its “execution context”: either the function that it is enclosed by or, if it is outside of a function, the global scope.
Consider the context in which setTimeout callback was declared. The only variable declaration for i
was that of the for loop index, which equals 5 when the for loop exits. When the setTimeout callback is invoked and it looks up the value of i
its execution context, i
is 5.
When we wrap the function in an IIFE, we create a new context for each callback that we create. In these contexts, i
is equal to the value that we pass the function within the body of the for loop. We bound the variable using closure by wrapping it in a function that we immediately execute.
This is closure at work. By defining a new context for each function call in which i
equals the value of the loop variable in each loop, we are able to log those values individually at a later time, even when the context in which the function was defined (namely, the for loop with i=0,1,2,3,4) no longer exists.
This Also Works (block-scoped variables)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
setTimeout(function () {
console.log(i);
}, 1 * i);
}
yields 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
. Why?
let
is block-scoped, which means that when you define a variable using let
, it is scoped to the block in which it is contained (defined by the {
and }
). In this case, it is scoped to the block of the for loop.
const
is also block-scoped. It differs from let
in that its value cannot be changed once assigned (hence the name constant).
Using let
as our loop variable means the i
in our setTimeout
is automatically bound to the value in that iteration of the loop. A new variable i
is created every the loop runs, and this variable is bound to the block created by that iteration of the loop.
This block is the execution context of the setTimeout
callback: hence, when the callback is invoked and looks for i
, it finds this closure-bound value.
You don’t know JS
There is an entire book on this topic , and there are many areas in which scope and closure overlap, or a closure is created to maintain scope for a variable of interest. For instance, You Don’t Know JS (previous link) suggests that an IIFE is not strictly a use of closure, since the function executes in the same context in which it is defined.
It’s good to get familiar with the use of closure in code. It enables things like the Module pattern (we export a function that has a closure over the instance of the module that we import). For instance, NPM . Get familiar with closure and look for ways you already using it in your code.

One of the thing I found interesting in the Game of Thrones data was to visualise relationship between characters. I started doing that on a character by character basis in the previous post. The next thing I wanted to try out was to build network graphs.
The thing is… I had no experience doing that with R, no knowledge on graphs and layout. I knew that Thomas Lin Pedersen’s packages “ggraph” and “tidygraph” existed but that was about it.
This was not very frightening because as with most things with R someone, somewhere must have done a really comprehensive and easy to understand introduction to these tools. Well, that’s what I thought, but I was surprised to struggle to find the content that would have made the making of these graphs easy. I think I must have missed it. Finally, finding pieces of information here and there, I managed to get a result that I was quite satisfied with.
I am going to walk you briefly through how I did it, but of course, as my knowledge of graph theory is very limited the information that I will provide is also. To sum it up, I got something that worked for this particular case, that may help for other cases but that will not be fully generalisable.
We first load our packages and import the data. Then we set a time limit, the minimum time a character must have appeared on screen to be added to our plots. After some trial and errors I found that 20 minutes was giving nice results.
The data is the one prepared here.
library(tidyverse)
library(glue)
library(tidygraph)
library(gameofthrones)
library(ggraph)
library(here)
library(gt)
extrafont::loadfonts(device = "win")
got <- read_csv(here("static/inputs/got/data_prep_scenes.csv"))
time_limit <- 20
What we want to do is create a tidygraph object. A tidygraph object is composed of two tibbles : one with the nodes (points) and one with the edges (links).
First, we get the node out of our dataset, it is fairly easy. We keep only the name of the characters and the time they appeared on screen. We will use that time as the node size.
nodes <- got %>%
# we group by name to filter for characters that appear
# more than 20 minutes during the show
group_by(name) %>%
# we divide by 60 because time is in seconds
summarise(time = sum(time) / 60) %>%
filter(time > time_limit) %>%
ungroup()
Next, we need to build our edges tibble. This tibble should contain a ‘from’ and a ‘to’ column, describing the relationships. We will also add a time component that can be used as a weighting variable. So we need to do a bit of manipulation.
First, let’s filter for the characters that spend at least 20 minutes on screen. We also add a scene id, unique to every scene. Finally, we duplicate the name column.
scenes_select <- got %>%
#we give an id to every scene in the dataset, we will use it later on
nest(names = name) %>%
mutate(id = 1:length(names)) %>%
select(id, time, names) %>%
unnest(names) %>%
# we do the same manipulation to filter for character that appear at least
# 20 minutes but with mutate instead of summarise
# (we could also have used a semi-join with the node dataset)
group_by(name) %>%
mutate(total = sum(time) / 60) %>%
filter(total > time_limit) %>%
ungroup() %>%
select(-total) %>%
# finaly we add a column name_2 that is exactly the same as name
mutate(name_2 = name)
So, why duplicating the name column ? Well, because it is the only trick I found to transform the dataset into the format we were looking for. I am fairly confident that a more elegant solution must exist, but I have not found it yet.
The idea is to use the expand function (from the tidyr package) to create all the possible combination in each scene. The main downside of this technic is that we get all the combinations in both direction, including ‘from’ and ‘to’ the same character. The later ones we can filter right away, we will deal with the other replicate combination later with tidygraph’s tools.
combination <-
scenes_select %>%
# creating all possible combination in each scene with expand and scene id
group_by(id, time) %>%
expand(name, name_2) %>%
ungroup() %>%
# we keep only the relation between 2 different characters
filter(name != name_2) %>%
group_by(name, name_2) %>%
summarise(time = sum(time)) %>%
# we rename our column, including time to avoid confusion with
# the time column in the node dataset
rename(from = "name", to = "name_2", edge_time = time) %>%
ungroup()
Nice ! We know have both a “nodes” and a “edges” tibble that can be combined into a tidygraph object. We set ‘directed’ to false, because our data is not directional.
A tidygraph object can be manipulated in a similar fashion as a dataframe with tidyverse verbs. What we need to do is use activate to choose wether we want to modify the nodes ot the edges (nodes are activated by default).
What we do first is to activate the edges to filter out replicated relationship. We use the function edge_is_multiple. This function allows us to keep only one of our mutual relationship (which are redundant since our data is not directional).
The we activate back the nodes tibble and use the group_infomap function to create clusters of characters.
graph <- tbl_graph(nodes, combination, directed = FALSE) %>%
activate(edges) %>%
filter(!edge_is_multiple()) %>%
activate(nodes) %>%
mutate(group = group_infomap(weights = edge_time))
graph_plot <- ggraph(graph, layout = "fr", weights = edge_time) +
# a fill density showing the intensity of the network in the background
geom_edge_density(aes(fill = edge_time)) +
geom_edge_link(alpha = 0.1) +
geom_node_point(aes(size = time, color = as_factor(group))) +
geom_node_text(aes(label = name), repel = TRUE, size = 4) +
labs(title = "Game of Thrones : Social Networking",
subtitle = "Node color correspond to cluster of characters") +
scale_color_got_d() +
theme_graph() +
theme(legend.position = "none",
plot.title = element_text(family = "Cinzel"))
# ggsave(plot = graph_plot, here("static/plots/got/network_graph.png"),
# type = "cairo",
# dpi = 600,
# width = 20,
# height = 16)
#
# ggsave(plot = graph_plot, here("static/plots/got/network_graph.pdf"),
# device = cairo_pdf,
# dpi = 600,
# width = 20,
# height = 16)
graph_plot
What do we see ? Well at first nothing, let’s open the pdf, or the image in a new tab.
We have one large group that I would say encompass most of the characters of Westeros from the Wall to Dorne. Two intermediate groups around two of the most important characters : Jon Snow and Daenerys. Then there is the Bran group, with notably the Three-Eyed-Raven. Finally, there is a group revolving around Catelyn and Robb Stark.
There are 5 groups, let’s do a little table to sum up some information about them.
graph %>%
as_tibble() %>%
group_by(group) %>%
mutate(n = n(),
group_time = sum(time)) %>%
# We only keep the character who spent the most time on screen in each group
filter(time == max(time)) %>%
ungroup() %>%
arrange(desc(n)) %>%
select(`Group Leader` = name,
Cluster = group,
`Character count` = n,
`Group Time` = group_time) %>%
# First use of gt, and it seems great !
gt() %>%
fmt_number(columns = vars("Group Time"), decimals = 0, pattern = "{x} min.")
| Group Leader | Cluster | Character count | Group Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyrion Lannister | 1 | 56 | 6,613 min. |
| Jon Snow | 2 | 27 | 2,680 min. |
| Daenerys Targaryen | 3 | 18 | 2,047 min. |
| Bran Stark | 4 | 9 | 647 min. |
| Catelyn Stark | 5 | 7 | 504 min. |
I have not included the code in the post because it is the same as before using the purr:map() function to loop through the seasons. If you want to take a look at it you can here.
First, let’s evacuate the question of the graphs. You can see them here. They range from nice to terrible depending on the season. I will not focus on that, instead let’s see what we can learn from the data.
graphs %>%
map_dfr(as_tibble) %>%
group_by(seasonNum) %>%
summarise(group = max(group),
n = n()) %>%
select(
Season = seasonNum,
`Character count` = n,
`Cluster count` = group
) %>%
gt() %>%
tab_header(
title = "Number of characters and cluster in each GoT season",
subtitle = "Characters appearing at least 5 minutes in a season"
) %>%
cols_align("center")
| Number of characters and cluster in each GoT season | ||
|---|---|---|
| Characters appearing at least 5 minutes in a season | ||
| Season | Character count | Cluster count |
| 1 | 86 | 6 |
| 2 | 80 | 8 |
| 3 | 80 | 9 |
| 4 | 73 | 9 |
| 5 | 73 | 7 |
| 6 | 109 | 11 |
| 7 | 48 | 3 |
| 8 | 44 | 1 |
Looking at the two last season we can see a dramatic change. The number of clusters and characters reduces drastically.
On the other hand, during the first 4 seasons we can see the number of cluster increasing with stable or descending number of characters. My interpretation is that as characters moved away from the initial situation into adventures they create smaller groups. And then, to summarise the show in the few words : half died, the other half reunited.
I find this a good resource to look at before taking a look at the network graphs. It give you an overall image that is necessary because the other network plots are messy.
library(ggforce)
graphs %>%
map_dfr(as_tibble) %>%
group_by(seasonNum, group) %>%
mutate(time_group = sum(time),
n = as.character(n()),
n = ifelse(name == "Eddard Stark",
paste0("Number of characters in group: ", n),
n),
hjust = ifelse(time_group < 62,
-0.1,
1.1),
color = ifelse(time_group < 62,
"black",
"white")) %>%
filter(time == max(time)) %>%
ungroup() %>%
mutate(seasonNum = paste0("Season ", seasonNum),
name = tidytext::reorder_within(name, time_group, seasonNum)) %>%
ggplot(aes(time_group, name)) +
tidytext::scale_y_reordered() +
geom_col(fill = "#2B818EFF") +
geom_text(aes(label = n, hjust = hjust, color = color),
family = "Open Sans",
size = 3) +
facet_col(~seasonNum, scales = "free_y", space = "free") +
scale_x_continuous(expand = expansion(mult = c(0.01, 0.05))) +
scale_color_identity() +
labs(x = "Time on screen in minutes",
y = NULL,
title = "Character clusters time on screen in each season",
subtitle = glue("Presented with group leader, clusters are \\
calculated independently for each season")) +
theme_minimal(base_family = "Open Sans") +
theme(plot.title.position = "plot",
plot.title = element_text(family = "Cinzel"),
panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
strip.text = element_text(family = "Open Sans SemiBold",
hjust = 0))
To conclude, I just wanted to do some plots of networks, but finally it’s making clusters that gave the most intersting information. I just scratch the surface of what tidygraph could do, and it seems very interesting.

Indian Minister Mocked for Claiming 'Big Fat Weddings, Crowded Trains' Prove How Fine Economy Is
New Delhi (Sputnik): Economic slowdown is one of the highly-debated topics in India as the opposition in the country has been constantly targeting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on the issue. American market research firm Moody’s Investors Service forecast recently slashed India’s economic growth to 5.6 percent in 2019 from 7.4 percent in 2018.
Indian Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi on Friday claimed the economy was “doing fine”, and an indication of this was that “airports and trains are full and people are getting married”, adding that “some people are, for nothing, maligning the image of Narendra Modi (India’s Prime Minister)”.
The minister, who was visiting the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh to inspect a freight corridor, claimed that India would “become a $5-trillion economy”. He said: “Every three years there is a fall in demand in the economy. It is a cycle. Then the economy picks up also".
The minister’s comments sparked a flurry of tweets mocking his remarks. Twitterati also ridiculed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party, to which the minister belongs.
This is not the first time that an Indian minister has made such a comment negating the distress in the economy. In October, India’s Information and Broadcasting Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, while addressing a press conference, denied economic slowdown based on the earnings of three movies.
"… Movies have been doing huge business. Three movies released on October 2 (national holiday)… garnered $17 million. $17 million comes in a country which has a sound economy", Prasad had said.
Netizens had expressed their disappointment at this remark as well.
While slashing India’s economic growth, Moody’s said that the Indian government's measures do not address the widespread weakness in consumption demand. "India's economic slowdown is lasting longer than previously expected", it added.
With the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) registering a six-year low as consumer demand decelerated, and fresh investments became sluggish, the auto industry, especially small passenger vehicles, also registered an over 21% decline in sales during October.
Industrial growth has also recorded a seven-year dip in the month of October.


Sigiriya or Sinhagiri (Lion Rock Sinhala: සීගිරිය, Tamil: சிகிரியா / aசிங்ககிரி, pronounced see-gi-ri-yə) is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 meters (660 ft.) high. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle the Culavamsa, this site was selected by King Kashyapa (477 – 495 AD) for his new capital. He built his palace on the top of this rock and decorated its sides with colorful frescoes. On a small plateau about halfway up the side of this rock he built a gateway in the form of an enormous lion. The name of this place is derived from this structure — Sīnhāgiri, the Lion Rock (an etymology similar to Sinhapura, the Sanskrit name of Singapore, the Lion City). The capital and the royal palace was abandoned after the king's death. It was used as a Buddhist monastery until the 14th century. Sigiriya today is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site. It is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning.


English medium in Andhra Pradesh govt schools from next academic year
The state government order mentions that classes from 1 to 6 will be converted into English medium from the academic year 2020-21
by ANIThe Government of Andhra Pradesh issued an order on Wednesday stating that it will introduce English as a medium of education in all government schools in the state from the next academic year.
The state government order mentions that classes from 1 to 6 will be converted into English medium from the academic year 2020-21. Other classes will shift to English gradually.
It further states that the Commissioner of School Education shall take appropriate and adequate efforts to implement Telugu and Urdu as compulsory subjects depending on the current medium of instruction in all the schools.
The state government has ordered the Education Commissioner to provide training to existing teachers, and while recruiting teachers, give priority to those conversant in English.

torchtraining.accumulators¶
Accumulate results from iterations
or epochs
Note
IMPORTANT: This module is one of core features so be sure to understand how it works.
Note
IMPORTANT: Accumulators should be applied to iteration
objects. This way those can efficiently accumulate value later passed
to other operations.
Example:
iteration
** tt.Select(predictions=1, labels=2)
** tt.metrics.classification.multiclass.Accuracy()
** tt.accumulators.Mean()
** tt.Split(
tt.callbacks.Log(f"{name} Accuracy"),
tt.callbacks.tensorboard.Scalar(writer, f"{name}/Accuracy"),
)
Code above will accumulate accuracy
from each step and after iteration
ends it will be send to tt.Split
.
Note
IMPORTANT: If users wish to implement their own accumulators
forward
shouldn’t return anything but accumulate data in self.data
variable. No argument calculate
should return self.data
after
calculating accumulated value (e.g. for mean
it would be division
by number of samples).

How The Internet Is Shattering Traditional Auto Designs
Welcome to the world of instant gratification.
by Jay TraugottFor a number of years, automotive designers used pencil and paper and clay models to realize their creations. More recently, computer technologies such as CAD have been used, and today a majority of new vehicles are designed entirely with computer software. Clay models still exist, but computers have essentially taken over. Not only does this somewhat alter the tasks of an automotive designer, but technology has changed the state of global design as a whole.
GM design chief Michael Simcoe was recently a guest on the Brembo Red podcast, hosted by President and CEO of Brembo North America, Dan Samberg. Via GM Authority, Simcoe made some interesting statements regarding the current state of automotive design and how it's been and continues to be heavily influenced by the internet.
"I think that in the past there were differences in how the different studios, certainly in GM globally, handled design," he said. "But in the age of instant gratification, everyone sees – whether it's a developing country or a developed country – everyone is seeing a vehicle launched at the same time, all within seconds, because it's all on the net." Simcoe also explained how the internet is influencing customer tastes, specifically towards singular global designs. "So in some ways, it's flattened or leveled expectations, and in some ways, it gives a right for a developing market to have all the desires and wants of a developed country now," Simcoe said. "I mean, why shouldn't someone in a developing country want the same level of feature content?"
While there remain some differences amongst car buyers' tastes, such as color and trim preferences, the general design attitude moving forward, at least for Simcoe and his team at GM, is that "essentially the desires of the customers are all the same."
Even the all-new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and 2021 Trailblazer were designed with a global market in mind and the switch to a mid-engine layout is some proof. But Simcoe acknowledges a new reality: the internet is universal and when someone in, say, India, sees a new car, truck, or SUV coming to America, they don't see any reason why they can't have it as well.


Hello! I'm Luisa Esteban and currently I am a 4th year student at the University of Victoria, majoring in Anthropology and minoring and Art History and Visual Studies. Since I was a kid, I was always interestng in the arts and sciences so studying anthropolgy is a good balance between the two.
I have worked for the Government of the Northwest Territories for three summers now, working for the Department of Justice for two, and working for the Department of the Legislative Assemby this past summer.
From Far and Wide
To begin, I was born in Winnepeg, MB, lived in Ottawa, ON, and currently live in Yellowknife, NT before coming to Victoria and at one point I did live in the Philippines. I come from a variety of places, each with their own qualities that made me call them home and if I were to pick a favourite, I would probably pick Victoria.
A question I would usually be asked (aside from "Is Yellowknife in the Yukon?") is "Why did you choose to come to Victoria?" and personally that is a very easy question.
So Why Did I Choose to Come Here?
I decided to come here because I loved being in BC and I heard that the program is pretty great. I knew that I didn't want to go to many other schools for my undergraduate degree and I also didn't want to go to a school where a lot of my high school friends were going (there are only a few at UVic) and it wasn't because they were bad friends, I wanted to be able to meet new people and experience most things on my own.
My Hopes for this Blog
I'm relatively new to the whole scope of blogging (in this format), using HTML & CSS, but being able to learn all these skills makes me feel a little more confident in knowing that I can apply these skills to possible careers one day. I hope to learn well and I know that I will be able to take away plenty of skills from this Portfolio Project.
There are projects here and there I hope to have completed soon and have up on the website. Thank you and stay tuned!


My strengths?
Did I mention that I do not particularly enjoy talking about myself?
No, I did not?
okay, well, I am telling you then. ha! ha!
You know what? I think i'll just pass and go directly to my limitations
In terms of limitations, It is hard for me to disconnect from work, I have the tendancy to place everyone before me and tend to forget myself in the process. I am and overthinker and it can be drainning. When I am not focussed, I tend to do a lot of multi-tasking and nothing good comes out of it, really. Lastly frustration is my kryptonite. Yep, as my friend Clark Kent, long-term exposure is not good for me.
If I really have to share my strengths, I would say I am very patient, I am empathetic and I can easily put myself in one's shoes. I adapt rapidly to change, even though in new situations a tend to be very much of an observor and very quiet at first. I am also flexible and I love solving problems - helping others as much as I can.
We all know that no one is perfect. We are just perfectly imperfect creatures and that's ok. However, personally, I always aim at, having a balance of both.
Not an easy task, ey buddy?
Well, we can only keep trying.

Quadrilateral elements give better accuracy and resistance to locking than triangular elements. They can also be more economic when meshing compared to their equivalent triangular peers. Option vectorial will initiate base functions and nodal representation that accounts for components of the solution function. This means that there will be x and y components of the solution.

Lying on the western shore of the island, this port is about 25NM from Athens and is a very popular destination for people from the city. The travernas on the waterfront are an attractive spot from which to watch the world go by!
Position 37° 44.5' N, 023° 25.7' E.
Take care on aproaching the harbour entrance as it is very busy with ferries and hydrofoils entering and leavings at high speed.
Moor to the town quay or in the marina. If moored in the harbour, ensure the anchor is well embedded as there is considerable wash from the ferries. Avoiding the weekends might be advisable, making it easier to obtain a berth here.
Good shelter, although strong southerlies can cause some swell.
It is possible to anchor in 3mt over sand and weed patches south of the marina and main harbour. The dinghy can be landed in the eastern corner of the marina, where you can tie it up next to the small fishing boats.

Generate your own Database subdirectory
Let's say you are not satisfied with the available Database. Perhaps you want to extend the use
of
RetroTector to a new retrovirus genus. You may then make a new
subdirectory
in Database. It is laborious but possible. The only tool needed is a
simple
text editor that can, and does, generate simple text files (Word .doc
files,
for example contain hidden code bytes and are banished).
The sequence of operations (which is likely to be
iterated a lot of times) is this:
- Make a new Motifs.txt
file - probably by editing a copy of an old one.
- Similarly make new Alignment
files. Take care with the Suspect parameter - it is in this context it
is important.
- Make a script for DredgeAligments.
- Start RetroTector and make your subdirectory the
current directory.
- Execute the DredgeAlignments script. If all is well,
you will get a green notice about it.
- Take a good look at the GenesCandidate.txt
file just
generated and see if it makes sense as Genes.txt.
If it does, you may rename it to Genes.txt. If it does not, the
Dredge.txt file may give a hint about why. Minor flaws may be edited
away.
- Similarly
inspect MotifGroupsCandidate.txt. It
is rather sure to contain '??????' instead of a few distance range
specifications. Use the editor to substitute something sensible. If you
are satisfied, rename
it to MotifGroups.txt.
- With the editor, complete MakeSubGenesScript.txt into
a valid script for MakeSubGenes.
Execute it.
- This will have generated a SubGenesCandidate.txt
file.
Give it too a good critical look and if satisfied, rename it SubGenes.txt.
- Run CheckDatabase
on your subdirectory. If its comments are more than you can bear, you
will
have to try again from somewhere above - most likely 2.
- If you get here, add other files as required (see Database for a list). Keep in mind that if
you
want the files to be identical to those in Ordinary, you need not add
them
(missing files are automatically picked from Ordinary instead).
- Try to run RetroTector with the new Database and some
real DNA.

Trigger Happy (1996) 93m. Originally released as MAD DOG TIME
Love it or loathe it, writer-producer-director Larry Bishop's debut outing is destined for cult heaven. In summary, story sounds like a run-of-the-mill mob flick: Gangland boss Vic (Richard Dreyfuss) is returning to his nightclub after being released from incarceration. Other would-be mob bosses (Kyle MacLachlan, Burt Reynolds, Gregory Hines, to name a few) wonder how to use this situation to their best advantage. They don't wonder too hard - everyone's solution to problems in this scenario is simply to shoot everyone else dead, which is exactly what transpires, in one measured showdown after another, until the film's conclusion.
The lack of compunction or consequence resulting from this gunplay pushes TRIGGER HAPPY well beyond the fringe of reality, but that's understandable: Vic is being released not from a prison, but an asylum - this story may be taking place entirely within his head. That's one plausible reason, at least, for the over-tanned blemish-free makeup smothering all the characters (Dreyfuss himself is positively pancaked with the stuff) - the inhabitants of Vic's world are as neat and tidy as the precise, bloodless killings within it. Then there's the opening narration about the entrance of a new universe, the references to the Big Bang theory and Vic's conversations with God, and the extreme closeup of Vic's eye in the final frames. Vic, as demented creator of an equally demented world, is ubiquitous throughout the story: other characters talk about him constantly whenever he is absent from a scene. In fact, Dreyfuss doesn't put in an appearance until considerable buildup has elapsed. It's an interesting effect, because despite our warnings that Vic is totally insane, Dreyfuss never actually does anything crazy (no crazier than his contemporaries, anyway). He needs do nothing more than stare benignly and let our imaginations wonder how psychotic he really is. There's almost one moment of revelation during Gabriel Byrne's awful rendition of Vic's signature tune ‘My Way' (What else, for a Creator?), surely the most memorable cinematic representation of that standard since Sid Vicious mangled it in SID AND NANCY. It's an interesting moment because we can't be sure if Byrne is snarling remarks like `You're a paranoid schizophrenic' between the lyrics or whether we are finally seeing/hearing evidence of Vic's delusional psychosis.
The contribution of Byrne, who speaks in an unfathomable accent, is the most comic of the film. He makes a great foil for Vic's hired gun Jeff Goldblum (my favorite performance among his credits so far), whose wry, schoolboyish looks suggest he is concealing some sly prank. He, Dreyfuss, and Byrne form the crown of a cast list that is irresistible, including the likes of Ellen Barkin, Diane Lane, Billy Idol, Rob Reiner, and Paul Anka. Rat Packers Sinatra, Martin, and Davis dominate the soundtrack. The original title, MAD DOG TIME was meant to be an anagram of MAD GOD TIME, highlighting Bishop's intention that his film be seen as an allegory.

Readers will know that from time to time I find inspiration from cryptic crosswords. For decades, it has been my daily habit to tackle the Guardian crossword, with occasional forays into those of other newspapers. Today I have been particularly impressed by 4 Across in the Guardian. The clue reads:
Incidents where git punches crusty things behind back of cafe (8)
I have not yet solved this, but while it is fresh in my mind I thought it useful to transcribe it here, mostly as an aide memoire to myself. You lot can look forward to an examination of such incidents in a forthcoming sweeping paragraph of majestic prose.

Dear Dry,
I’m excited to announce some of this year’s Women, Money, Power Summit honorees: Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D - Conn.), Texas state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, and Barbara Arnwine, executive director of the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
The Summit is bringing together a great combination of feminist leaders, thinkers, speakers and activists, as well as top politicians. On Oct. 8, we’ll have a series of panels dedicated to fighting the War on Women and an amazing luncheon. On Oct. 9, we’ll head to Capital Hill for a Congressional lobby day.
We also already have 32 co-sponsoring organizations! Trust me, you won’t want to miss miss it. [ http://feministmajority.org/women-money-power/2013WomenMoneyPower/registration.htm ]
Congresswoman DeLauro has been a longtime champion of women’s rights, pushing for equal pay and paid sick days for all. Van de Putte made national headlines in June when she stood up for women’s reproductive rights in Texas. Arnwine is internationally renowned for contributions to civil rights and is leading the fight against voter suppression laws.
At a time when extremists are attempting to roll back both women’s rights and civil rights, we’re excited to honor three champions for social justice.
Dry, this is an event you will not want to miss! Grab one of the tickets before they run out. [ http://feministmajority.org/women-money-power/2013WomenMoneyPower/registration.htm ]
Looking forward to seeing you in October.
For Equality,

Sailing lessons
In late 2019 I took a beginner’s sailing course. The course was designed to teach adults to sail dinghies in pairs by teaching introductory sailing techniques, parts of the boat, ropework, etc.
I have this romantic idea of taking my boat out onto the water and having a relaxing day on the ocean eating a picnic lunch or reading a book etc.
I think in hindsight this is a bit unrealistic; for a start, any keelboat
big enough to have a relatively stable deck seems to require several crew.
Secondly, a sailboat has a lot of moving parts that are complex and require
specific domain knowledge. It’s not like a powerboat where you can just hop
in and push the accelerator to go.
Finally, sailing scales exponentially in price as the boat gets larger,
so I’m not sure I’ll be able to afford it. I’ve heard it said that “a boat
is a hole in the water that you throw money into” and I don’t find that
prospect very appealing.
If I end up living somewhere with a healthy community sailing club, I might pick it up again. I don’t think I’ve retained much from my lessons but the experience was certainly valuable.
