Pattern to extract and update data from large immutable data structures
Example:
Given a deep immutable data structure
Where: A TV Show has a name and a list of episodes, each with a name and a number
Example: TvShow=
{ "name":Community, "seasons":[ {"number":1, "name":Pilot}, {"number":2, "name":Spanish 101} ],[ {"number":1, "name":Anthropology 101}, {"number":2, "name":Accounting for Lawyers} ] }

public TvShow withSeasons(List<Season> newSeasons) { return new TvShow(name, newSeasons);}
public TvShow withSeason(Integer index, Season newSeason) {

There were some other proposals for the syntax. As for the reasons
we cannot use <>, we have discussed this some time ago.
Basically this is because of our New Brave, Great Parser. It first handles
parens ([], {} and ()) as groups. This allows for far more powerful
syntax extensions and embedding DSLs (like XML or regular expressions).
Anyway, the parser cannot handle <> as parens, because they are
used in regular operators.
There are some other advantages here:
- it is easy possible to write a simple syntax highlighting for types in most editors now,
- the lexical structure is far more regular,
- and there is no need for strange lexer hacks they use in C# and C++.
Why cannot we use just [] for generic specifier? Please consider the following
code:
class Bar [T] {
public this [T] () { ... }
}
class Foo {
public Bar [x : int] : void -> void
{ get { ... } }
foo () : void
{
_ = Bar [qux] ();
}
}
Now the invocation of Bar[qux] can have two meanings -- it's either
construction of a new Bar instance or a reference to a indexer Bar.
You could say that it is regular overloading resolution problem. But it
is not. What is problematic is how to parse qux. In regular
overloading you can parse and even type-check parameters of a call and
then try possibilities. Here it is not possible, even parsing depends
on the meaning of Bar.
Therefore while we think this would be the best solution, this cannot be
used.
For the same reasons we cannot use () nor {} alone for generic specifier.
As for the Foo[_ : int, _ : string]
there are two problems --
_ : int
is (almost?) a valid expression, so the ambiguity remains,
and the second more important problem is that it looks like we were
forcing types of regular arguments to be of type int and string. This is
not true in general -- there can be for example no formal arguments.
We don't like the new
keyword, because allocation is far more
often in the functional languages and we would like to save typing. Beside
it would only solve the problem for constructors, not for generic methods.
One of the proposals was: Foo () : Foo [int,string]
(actually it was Foo[int], but this is not possible,
because type argument can be a tuple). For this to be consistent,
it would have to be: (Foo : Foo [int,string]) ()
, otherwise
you cannot do things like List.Map (some_list, Foo.[int,string])
.
This is however still problematic -- when you see :, you don't know
if it's a generic specifier or a type enforcement. Heuristic could
be used -- if there are two Foos in a row, it's a generic specifier.
What I don't like with this approach is that it is quite lengthy -- you
have to repeat the function name. It is also not immediately clear
what does it mean (that it is not a type enforcement). Maybe
(Foo : [int,string]) ()
would be a better option?
The type enforcement can be also used to make compiler know which
type we want, so type inference can guess the proper generic parameters.
This is however not true in general. There can be a function like:
SomeFun[T] () : void
{
System.Console.WriteLine (typeof (T));
}
There is no way to infer the type of T here. So dropping generic
specifier altogether is not possible for completeness reasons.
Nemerle syntax comes mostly from C-like languages. This is one of our
goals -- make it readable for C programmers. Using just
whitespace or using foo.at(1) for indexing is clearly against this
goal.
Using prefix generic specifiers also doesn't help readability here. Especially
when we use postfix specifiers for types.
What I would personally like to see here is some syntax experiments --
different pluggable parsers/lexers and so on.
This is very sane idea ;-) We could for example use
Dictionary [: int, string :]
or something like this.
But:
- generic types are used very often -- single characters parens are a much better choice here (this is however not true for generic specifier, which is not going to be used often)
- there are already some .NET languages using [] for type parameters,
- we already changed the generics syntax twice, I don't think it is that good idea to change it again.
So while this is a very good idea from the consistency point of view, I
don't think we're going to follow it.
Probably the set of acceptable solutions here could be limited to using
some keyword or operator in front of parens (or just after the first
paren), preferably [], because they are already used for generic types.
Of course other solutions are possible but keep in mind the arguments
stated above.
Proposals include:


UK Conservatives' lead over Labour narrows slightly: Survation poll
LONDON (Reuters) - The lead held by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party over the opposition Labour Party has narrowed over the past week, an opinion poll by Survation showed on Tuesday, ahead of a Dec. 12 election.
Support for the Conservatives rose one point to 35% while the Labour Party rose 3 points to 29%.
The pro-European Union Liberal Democrats and the Brexit Party each fell 2 points, to 17% and 10%.
Survation surveyed 2,037 people online between Nov. 6 and 8.


Turkey says it deports U.S. militant, will soon send seven Germans: Anadolu
ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey has deported an American foreign fighter and will soon deport another seven Germans, a spokesman for the interior ministry was quoted as saying on Monday after state media said Ankara began repatriation of captured Islamic State militants.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu had warned last week that Ankara would begin to send back Islamic State militants to their home countries on Monday even if their citizenships have been revoked.
“One American foreign terrorist fighter whose proceedings are completed has been deported,” ministry spokesman Ismail Catakli was quoted as saying by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
“Travel plans for seven foreign terrorist fighters of German origin at deportation centers have been completed, they will be deported on Nov. 14,” he added.

Joy's Notes
Intro to Programming ND notes - 1st week
1. WWW
World Wide Web (WWW) is Collection of HTML(HyperText Markup language) documents. While almost all types of files can exist on the web, any type of file can be linked to HTML documents that are the basis for everything on the web.
2. Major Pieces
Your computer is running a Web browser, the Internet, and servers. Your browser makes requests via the Internet to servers. These requests are using a protocol called http and the servers respond with files that your browser displays. Some examples of browsers are Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox.
- HTTP – the main protocol of the web
- Servers – computers that host the files that make up the web
- Internet – the world’s largest computer network
- Browser – a program that runs on your computer to display files found on the web
3.  Intro to HTML Tags
- Tags, once opened, need to be closed!
- HTML Attributes <Tag Attr="value">contents</tag>"
5. Types of HTML tags
- Bold tag -
- Italics tag -
- Anchor tag  - makes a link, <a href=”www.reddit.com” sung
- Image tag -
Image tag is a void tag as there is no contents and therefore do not require a closing tag.
Src = source alt = alternative name
- Break tag -

Break tag is a void tag and do not need a closing tag. Can be used multiple times to give multiple line breaks. It ends the line and it is a lineline element (stays within the line), although it creates multiple lines as it just creates white space within the line pushing the rest to the next line.
- Paragraph tag -
 contents

It makes the invisible box (block element) around the contents.
- "\n" that Steve writes is how programmers represent a "newline" character in common coding languages such as C, Java, Python, etc.
- Span/Div - They are same but Span inline element Div is a block element.Their only function is to contain contents.
- The  tag is used to group inline-elements in a document.
- The  tag provides no visual change by itself.
- The  tag provides a way to add a hook to a part of a text or a part of a document.

THERE is in the county of Gloucester a forest abounding in boars, stags, and every species of game that England produces In a grovy lawn of this forest there is a little mount, rising in a point to the height of a man, on which knights and other hunters are used to ascend when fatigued with beat and thirst, to seek some relief for their wants. The nature of the place, and of the business, is however such that whoever ascends the mount must leave his companions, and go quite alone.
When alone, he was to say, as if speaking to some other person, "I thirst," and immediately there would appear a cup-bearer in an elegant dress, with a cheerful countenance, bearing in his stretched-out hand a large horn, adorned with gold and gems, as was the custom among the most ancient English. In the cup nectar of an unknown but most delicious flavour was presented, and when it was drunk, all heat and weariness fled from the glowing body, so that one would be thought ready to undertake toil instead of having toiled. Moreover, when the nectar was taken, the servant presented a towel to the drinker, to wipe his mouth with, and then having performed his office, he waited neither for a recompense for his services, nor for questions and inquiry.
This frequent and daily action had for a very long period of old times taken place among the ancient people, till one day a knight of that city, when out hunting, went thither, and having called for a drink and gotten the horn, did not, as was the custom, and as in good manners he should have done, return it to the cup-bearer, but kept it for his own use. But the illustrious Earl of Gloucester, when he learned the truth of the matter, condemned the robber to death, and presented the horn to the most excellent King Henry the Elder, lest be should be thought to have approved of such wickedness, if he had added the rapine of another to the store of his private property.

Final Files Due
- From the 12 Jungian Archetypes (Explorer, Magician, Rebel, Jester, Lover, Everyman, Caregiver, Ruler, Creator, Innocent, Sage, Hero), choose at least 3 that you DO NOT think describe your personality. For more descriptions of the archetypes, visit This Page
- Assign a super power(s), origin story, city of residence, weakness, and arch enemy for a superhero that embodies the combination of these personality types. Research should be in the form of both text and image.
- From careful consideration of all your research, generate a list of names for your superhero. For samples of superhero names, visit This Page .
- Select one name from this list. Design a word mark and emblem that conveys your superhero’s name and identity, paying close attention to how color and symbol reinforce communication.
- Create a visual system utilizing attributes of the word mark and emblem to unify a website. Consider how navigation is a component of this system.
- Synthesize each aspect of your research (super power(s), origin story, city of residence, weakness, and arch enemy) into their own cohesive 1-page narrative.
- Create an HTML/CSS web page for each aspect of your research that visually / verbally presents the individual narratives. Be sure to utilize components of your visual system to unify each page. Collectively, each page will form a website that tells the story of your superhero.
- Link all pages together via navigation menu. Create an interaction for each link that provides feedback when hovered and clicked.
- Create a Flag / banner to be displayed on a homepage of the website that tells the story of all the class’ superheroes.
Constraints
- All content (images and text) and supporting graphics must be your own.


The goal of JurisPsql is to provide functions to manipulate Brazilian legal PostgreSQL databases from R.
Most of the functions are primarily concern with jurimetric needs not found in the dbplyr
package, but they are useful to whoever works with texts.
New functions will be added little by little, but right now there are two very useful features, which are the decision classifier and the decision text search.
There is a sample dataset of consumers’ rights court decisions to play with.
Full-text search is implemented through the following functions:
psql_write_cjpg
: Creates a new table, writes a dataframe to it, creates a primary key to the table, creates a weighted inverted index on columns assunto
and julgado
, and also builds a trigger to reindex the same table every time the table is updated or gets inserted with new rows.
psql_cjpg_tokenize
: Creates an weighted inverted index from a cjpg table.
psql_cjpg_insert
: Inserts new rows to a table. The whole table is automatically reindexed once new rows are inserted.
psql_cjpg_trigger
: Adds a trigger to a cjpg table to reindex it every time it gets updated or inserted with new rows.
psql_cjpg_query
: Queries words or phrases the same way you would do it with Google ou Bing.
This feature is particularly important to improve full-text search on text decisions and also on panel opinions (acórdãos in Portuguese).
Depending on your PostgreSQL configuration it might take a long time if the number of documents is large. It took around one hour to index 700.000 judicial decisions .
I have worked with Elasticsearch and Solr before, but I am convinced that with PostgreSQL we have the best of the three worlds (sql, nosql and search engine), no need to use either nosql like Mongodb or search engines like Elasticsearch and Solr.
Once the indexing is done, you can use the function psql_cjpg_query
to search for words or phrases the same way you would do with any web search engine like Bing or Google. You can also include it in your shinyapp to allow users to do search.
Function psql_cjpg_query
allows faceting by subjects (assuntos) and also by courts (foros). Dates will be included pretty soon.
Please note that the ‘JurisPsql’ project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By contributing to this project, you agree to abide by its terms.

I started taking a lot of tramadol about a week ago when I ordered 90 50mg pills of it on the internet. I love it. They put me in such a good mood and relax me. Unlike opiates, they don't cause me to itch much at all.
I read on the internet earlier today about a biotechnology company that is attempting to create a method to vaporize pain killers in an inhaler-type device to almost instantly relieve pain rather than the user having to wait for 30 minutes to see the effect. I had just bought a vaporizer for smoking tobacco the other day, so this gave me an idea. Maybe I should put my tramadol in the vaporizer and give it a shot.
I tried this around 4:00pm today. I didn't know if it was going to work at all so instead of taking my usual dose (300mg = 6 pills) I used only 2. I crushed them up a bit and put them in.
About 7 minutes later the vaporizer was filled with vapor so I took a hit. I started to cough up a lung because the vapor burned my throat badly and it tasted horrible. Never the less, I kept on puffing and I slowly got somewhat used to it. A few minutes later, when I was almost done inhaling all of the vapor, I started to feel relaxed.
This lasted for about an hour or so. I'm sure if I had used 6 or 8 pills rather than two I would have felt great for a much longer period, but I decided I didn't want to subject myself to that horrible taste again.
All in all it was a good experience learning I could vaporize a pill. I liked getting the effect in 5 minutes rather than the normal hour it takes for tramadol to kick in with me.

The photovoltaic system converts solar energy to electricity for powering all sorts of appliances. These systems can be Off-Grid and On-Grid. Off-grid systems convert solar power and store it in a battery for later use. This systems are usually used in rural areas where there is no power, areas where power installation is very expensive ( as much as a whole solar system ) or for people that want an independent source of energy for their house. On-Grid systems are same as Off-Grid but the building does not relly solely on the power the solar system provides. This system usually don’t include battery but it can be additionally added. In some countries when the power of the photovoltaic system is not in use, it goes back in the power grid and the owner gets paid for the power that has been generated. More Info
Solar systems with boiler are the most common on the residential market. These systems are used for heating water. The water is heated in a boiler which can be attached on the panel, on the roof or inside of the building. Throughout the years, the indoor boilers have proven to be more efficient. More Info
Solar systems can be used for heating too. These systems also use an indoor boiler but this boiler is bigger and built for heating purposes. The boiler is connected to the house radiator. In winter we don’t usually see the sun but that doesn’t mean that it is not radiating solar energy. More Info

You will also be able to find the Welfare Officer at most socials, in case you need to talk to someone for extra support.


Game 1: Houston Rockets at Oklahoma City Thunder
My Pick:
Houston Rockets
Why I'm Rolling with them:
This game would have been a lot closer had Westbrook not been out. OKC has looked a lot better lately, and despite playing yesterday they would have homecourt tonight. However, despite Shroeder's excellent game last night, he's still no Russell Westbrook. That will show tonight as Chris Paul and James Harden pick apart this good OKC defense to score a combined 45+. It'll be interesting to see Melo's reunion with the OKC fans, especially since he's been playing better in Houston than he did in Oklahoma. But Harden especially is too much as Houston wins it 120-111.
Game 2: Boston Celtics at Phoenix Suns
My Pick:
Boston Celtics
Why I'm Rolling with them:
Devin Booker has looked pretty shaky since coming back from injury, putting up over 20 points but on very inefficient shooting. I think Boston's wings can really hold him to under 40% from the field, and beyond that this Phoenix team is shaky. Ayton is their only other great player, and I think the Boston centers will have an easier time with him, just because of how well they normally play against Embiid. Kyrie is finding his footing, and will shine tonight. Boston 117, Phoenix 104.
Game 3: Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Trail Blazers
My Pick:
Portland Trail Blazers
Why I'm Rolling with them:
Portland has looked good to start the year, with an 8-3 record and a win convincing win against a good Bucks team, however the Clippers have also looked good. They've won 4 games by 20 or more, and have been playing well. Their strengths match up nicely against Portland, with a strong bench and good guard defense. However, I can't bet against Dame and CJ. Dame should have no problem getting to the basket against the weaker LA interior, and CJ matches up well against Bradley. Portland in a close one, 119-117.
Game 4: Milwaukee Bucks at Golden State Warriors
My Pick:
Golden State Warriors
Why I'm Rolling with them:
The Bucks are theoretically a team that would provide the Warriors with a lot of trouble, with longer defenders and plenty of 3 point shooting to beat the Warriors at their own game. However, for that to happen Golden State would have to play pretty poorly tonight against this weaker Milwaukee team. Durant and Green are well equipped to guard Giannis (or at least contain him) and having Klay on the perimeter should make it tough for this Milwaukee team to score. Golden State wins it, 124-113.

|
Read header lines.
Read header lines up to the entirely blank line that terminates them.
The (normally blank) line that ends the headers is skipped, but not
included in the returned list. If a non-header line ends the headers,
(which is an error), an attempt is made to backspace over it; it is
never included in the returned list.
The variable self.status is set to the empty string if all went well,
otherwise it is an error message. The variable self.headers is a
completely uninterpreted list of lines contained in the header (so
printing them will reproduce the header exactly as it appears in the
file).
If multiple header fields with the same name occur, they are combined
according to the rules in RFC 2616 sec 4.2:
Appending each subsequent field-value to the first, each separated
by a comma. The order in which header fields with the same field-name
are received is significant to the interpretation of the combined
field value.

Ed Sheeran makes surprise visit to Exeter
The rumours turned out to be true
by Paul GreavesPop superstar Ed Sheeran made a surprise visit to Devon yesterday - to watch his wife play hockey at the University of Exeter.
Rumours started to spread the singer was at the Streatham campus on Saturday to support Cherry Seaborn. Later a number of students took to social media to confirm they had seen him.
Beth, a second year student, bumped into Ed as they left the gym this afternoon, according to The Exeter Tab.
She said: "He was watching the girls hockey match as his wife was playing for the team 'Pies' I think."
She added: "I didn't speak to him really, just asked for a pic as he was walking away."
Later Isca Hockey Club responded to a tweet to say they had noticed they had a multi-millionaire watching them play - but they kept their manners and didn't pester him.
Cherry's team Harleston Magpies enjoyed a 3-0 win over Isca in Division One of the Investec Women's Hockey League.
Ed and Exeter go back a long way, although it isn't all happy memories.
The singer has confessed the city was the site of his worst ever gig.
The singer song-writer told Radio X : "I was getting paid 50 quid for this gig and it was an 80 quid train ticket, and I thought ' I'm already 30 quid down but it's fine. I'll get down there and sell some of my CDs from my backpack.
"Gets to eight, I'm meant to be going on at 8.30 No one’s there. My train's at like 10. I was like 'can I push it back?'
"And they were like 'push it back to nine'. No one was there. Pushed it back to 9.30. No one was there. They were like 'you just have to play'.
"So I played to no one, missed my train, didn't sell any CDs, then I slept on the little bench at the train station till 5(am)."
He added: "That was about two months before I broke. That was the lowest of the low."
In December last year was spotted at Exeter Airport today before he boarded his private jet.
He then attended a star-studded party in the county, possibly in the South Hams area.

(A) Contact matrices of chromosome 8 at 500kb resolution. The plaid pattern in the Hi-C map is preserved after auxin treatment, indicating that the genome compartments still form.
(B) Strength of contact domains called in untreated cells versus random intervals measured using the corner score (see Methods) in untreated (top) and treated cells (middle). Contact domain strength is significantly reduced, but does not disappear. The remaining signal in treated cells comes from compartment domains (contact domains where both boundaries of the domain are also boundaries of a compartment interval), which are preserved after cohesin loss (bottom). Contact domains where both boundaries are contained completely inside a compartment interval (‘other domains’) show corner scores in treated cells comparable to random pixels.
(C,D) Examples (C: chr21:32.4-39Mb and D: chr1:167-177Mb) showing that the loss of cohesin-associated loops after auxin treatment results in increased fine-scale compartmentalization. Top: Sliding correlation scores; valleys imply strong differences in long-range contact pattern observed at a locus as compared to neighboring loci, indicating a change in compartment (see Methods). Middle: Observed contact matrices. Bottom: Pearson’s correlation maps for the local region shown (see Methods). Deeper valleys in the sliding correlation score and increased plaid patterning in the observed and Pearson’s correlation maps indicate strengthened fine-scale compartment interactions after auxin treatment. Blowouts: loss of a loop domain results in strengthening of a compartment boundary spanned by the loop. Blown-out regions are indicated on zoomed out maps for both the observed (black upper triangle) and Pearson’s correlation maps (white rectangle). Observed and Pearson’s correlation maps are both shown at 25kb resolution for the zoomed out matrices and 10kb and 25kb resolution respectively for the blown-out matrices.
(E) Sliding correlation scores before and after auxin treatment for compartment boundaries which either coincide with loop domain anchors (left) or are located in the interior of a loop domain (right). For compartment boundaries that lie in the interior of a loop domain in untreated cells, the difference in long-range contact pattern on opposite sides of the boundary increases greatly after cohesin treatment.
(F) Sliding correlation scores before and after auxin treatment for H3K27ac boundaries in untreated cells which either coincide with loop domain anchors (left) or are located in the interior of a loop domain (right). H3K27Ac modification patterns are unchanged after auxin treatment (top and middle). For H3K27ac boundaries that lie in the interior of a loop domain in untreated cells, the difference in long-range contact pattern on opposite sides of the boundary increases greatly after cohesin treatment. This indicates that loop domains facilitate mixing of chromatin with different histone modifications.

Llamas of America

Here I visited the one and only Corn Palace. Pretty unique! Not a ton else to do in South Dakota.
There was a lot of driving and a lot of open land. As you probably know, llamas originated from the central plains of North America so this trip was very nostalgic for me.
As we got closer to Wyoming, there were some amazing nature scenes!

I was so excited to make it out to the west coast for the first time! Seattle was v hip. There were a lot of small coffee shops and every composts. As a herbivore I was thrilled with the variety of vegetarian options. I got to meet this cute giant troll in Fremont too! How quirky.
Also, the background picture on this site was taken by myself from the top of the Space Needle. Great view!

Katy Perry promised me California Girls were unforgettable so I was pumped to make it out here.
Of course, I took a selfie by the Golden Gate bridge. Who wouldn't? It was pretty foggy up there but us llamas have exceptional vision so living out here wouldn't be an issue at all for me.
I was surprised by how cold it was in San Francisco after having this image of sunny California in my mind but I was soon reminded of a Mark Twain quote, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Definitely can see that now.

GRANAR is a generator of complete root cross-section network in R.
Upon a small set of anatomical features the GRANAR model is able to reconstruct a generic root cell network for mono and dicotyledon.
Among the few parameters you can modify, there is the aerenchyma proportion, the number and size of the xylem vessels, but also the number of cell layers and the mean size of each cell type.
Once the anatomy is generated, it is possible to look after some functional features related to that anatomy. For instance, hydraulics conductivities can be computed when GRANAR is coupled with MECHA.
GRANAR is a R package
The source code of GRANAR is available on github: https://github.com/granar/granar
Another github repository contains example parameter files needed to run GRANAR: granar_examples You do not need your own data to try it out.
The first step before running GRANAR is to install a working version for R! Installation of R are available here: https://cran.r-project.org/
GRANAR is built upon a handfull of external libraries. You will need to install them before using the model.
These libraries can be install using RStudio. In the Terminal or Console, enter:
install.packages(deldir) install.packages(alphahull) install.packages(retistruct)
In the Terminal or Console enter the following lines:
install.packages("devtools") library(devtools) install_github("granar/granar") library(granar)
GRANAR uses only parameters files as input. Examples of the input files are stored in the modelparameter
folder in the granar_example directory:
Zea_mays_1_Heymans_2019.xml
: General parameters for maize nodal root anatomyGRANAR output are stored in a list element and it can be exported under .xml with the same format as CellSet.
# R script example library(granar) params = read_param_xml(path = "params.xml") # import input parameter for GRANAR sim = list() # create an empty list sim = create_anatomy(parameters = params) # generate a cell network anatomy write_anatomy_xml(sim = sim, path = "new_root.xml") # export the data under a .xml file
GRANAR was developed at the Université catholique de Louvain, in the Earth and Life Insititute, in the lab of Guillaume Lobet. The primary developpers of the model are Adrien Heymans and Guillaume Lobet. Valentin Couvreur provided some technical assistance.

Hi @CrisF !
Only thing I did differently than before was to go to sleep, haha. See yours has picked up a lot
Yes it's unbelievable how my node picked up. Here is what I did ( click to see): I doubled check my router settings, firewall and fail2ban and made sure all the p2p ports are open and I added all the ip of all notaries in fail2ban so they never trigger it. I also added maxconnections=125 to each of my .conf files. But my peers are still 16-16-16-14 though... Before that I also sent to myself to merge my utxo and use komodo-cli cleanwallettransactions but it didn't clean that much I will add a daily cron for that. I also setup iguana to not autosplit. And a cron job every 2 hours to split KMD to 60 and AC to 20 using Decker script.

U.S. vaping illnesses rise to 1,888 with pace picking up again
by Carla K. Johnson, The Associated PressThe number of U.S. vaping illnesses has jumped again, reaching more than 1,800 cases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 1,888 confirmed and probable cases have been reported in 49 states. An Illinois report brings the toll to 38 deaths in 24 states.
The total is 284 higher than what the government reported last week and a larger increase than seen in several weeks. Officials say the previous slowdown could have been caused by reporting delays.
The outbreak appears to have started in March. No single ingredient, electronic cigarette or vaping device has been linked to all the illnesses. Most who got sick said they vaped products containing THC, the high-inducing ingredient in marijuana.
Health officials urge people to avoid vaping, particularly products containing THC and purchased off the street.


We can't wait to see you there!

Let us remember the origins of Bankia, the almighty Cajamadrid savings bank. In 2012 it would go public with Rodrigo Rato and soon the true financial situation of the entity would be known with a very large hole.
This hole was a consequence of the immovable crisis. Bankia, like all Spanish savings banks and banks to a lesser extent, gave hypotheca as if giving candies to hungry children.
They did not take into account the risks or a change in the world economy. Many if they saw it but honoring the short-term view of the Spanish "I bagged the pasta and the brown one will already carry another". I>
That was the case of the old address but they would not predict that the damage would be huge and that the bank would be on the verge of bankruptcy having to be rescued by the state with nearly 40,000 million euros .
Being a bank, the debt and all the securities that it carries are not relevant, since the bank is the one that loans and its debt is usually referenced to other banks or entities, as they are the creditors of many companies and individuals.
These data are usually internal to the bank and can not be presented as they are constantly changing.
Here I present the data of fundamentals that I think are most important:
| ### | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benefit/share value | |||||
| Capitalización(M) | 14.258 | 12.369 | 11.183 | 11.479 | 11.158 |
| EBDITA (M) | 382 | 342 | 351 | 387 | 426* |
| PER | - | 10,01 | 12,87 | 13,75 | 13,43 |
| Net benefit (M) | 1.040 | 804 | 505 | 845 | |
| Dividend (%) | 3.14% | 3,06% | 3,47% | 3,89% |
From the fundamental data we can see the very progressive rise of the EBDITA and the improvement of the data as well as a lower PER for its better price. In addition for 3 years gives a pretty good dividend of 3% , while other banks like Santander do not give it. In addition, if we compare it with similar IBEX banks, the upside potential is much higher and, on the other hand, these powerful banks such as BBVA and Santander would be planning to buy Bankia in the medium term. This supposed OPA that could occur once it accumulates enough benefits produced by the rise in rates that is expected in 2020, could lead to the value to triple its price on the stock market. Putting accounts, Bankia could be bought between 2020 and 2022 but if it grows a lot it may no longer be so attractive so it should be seen.
Another important factor is the purchase of BMN (Banca Mare Nostrum) in 2017 which made Bankia extend even further through national territory. The synergies produced by this purchase should be about 100 million per year. This purchase should begin to be noticed in 2019 once settled in the results.
Once the time elapsed after the IPO Bankia would settle around the price of 1 euro and the following year would be a macro expansion of capital. Again, there would be speculation about the value and a contrasplit of 100 to 1 would be made to give it the value of Euro, in particular € 1.36.
This would be novel since in the IBEX35 there would never have been a value that would be so low. From then on, the downward spiral would begin, which would end in mid-2016 just before the American elections.
To say that this value is correlated very well with the IBEX35 and as soon as the IBEX left the 7,800 points and began to scale Bankia would go hand in hand.
Once starting to rise and after the good news of the results with the new director of the entity, Goirigolzarri would start a meteoric rise from lows at 0.52 to double its value in 6 months. This can be seen in the following figure, from € 2.1 (0.55) to € 4.6 (1.16) in May 2017.
The maximum of the rise coincides with the victory of Macron in the French elections. From there the IBEX would begin a severe correction increased by the failed coup d'etat in Catalonia.
The data of the debt do not count on them but they have been reducing little by little. The most important value is that 57% of their shares are held by the state and it will do what it has to do to sell them with capital gains.
In 2015, a figure was set around € 1.5, € 6 at the current exchange rate to start selling. That would mean at today's prices a revaluation of twice the current prices.
Si analizamos el valor a corto plazo se puede observar que ahora mismo esta en comenzando un nuevo canal alcista y con todas las perspectivas de que no lo va a perder. Si observamos próximamente se cruzaran las líneas de nuevo, lo que indicara una pequeña corrección. Esta será la oportunidad para ejecutar la compra. Si la ajustamos en 3.6€ y fijamos como stop la superresistencia de 4€ podriamos tener unas plusvalias de un 18%, pero si seguimos hasta los máximos anteriores que en menos de dos años se rebasaran podrían ascender las plusvalias a cerca de un 40%. Si además vendemos en 4€ y volvemos a comprar por debajo en la base del canal podríamos sacar un 10% adicional, ya que el ancho del canal es aproximadamente eso.
En caso de perder los 3€ habría que pensar en salir del valor y a analizar las posibles causas de esa caída. Una vez superado los 4€ sería aconsejable ir poniendo stops por debajo del 5% de donde este en cada momento.

Justin: What I am trying to say is that the appeal and the settlement are separate.
Alistair: You mean that communications and announcements internal and external would be brought into the appeal process.
Justin: Right, because they connect to the appeal.
Alistair: I hope you understand there are issues of reputation, and I have to deal with those in the appeal process rather than the commercial issues around settlement.
Justin: And then, there is this legal claim for defamation. I believe that the implication would be to perceive in for defamation.
Alistair: Yes. I will investigate to what we have as written evidence and what we do not have.
Justin: Okay. Great! I am thankful for you to do that.
Alistair: Absolutely. Evidences are important in order to understand whether the party in question has acted appropriately through this process, and there is greater possibility of defamation to everybody in circumstance like this.

Quickstart¶
You can get the library directly from PyPI:
pip install click
The installation into a virtualenv is heavily recommended.
virtualenv¶
Virtualenv is probably what you want to use for developing Click applications.
What problem does virtualenv solve? Chances are that you want to use it for other projects besides your Click script. But the more projects you have, the more likely it is that you will be working with different versions of Python itself, or at least different versions of Python libraries. Let’s face it: quite often libraries break backwards compatibility, and it’s unlikely that any serious application will have zero dependencies. So what do you do if two or more of your projects have conflicting dependencies?
Virtualenv to the rescue! Virtualenv enables multiple side-by-side installations of Python, one for each project. It doesn’t actually install separate copies of Python, but it does provide a clever way to keep different project environments isolated. Let’s see how virtualenv works.
If you are on Mac OS X or Linux, chances are that one of the following two commands will work for you:
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
or even better:
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
One of these will probably install virtualenv on your system. Maybe it’s even in your package manager. If you use Ubuntu, try:
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
If you are on Windows (or none of the above methods worked) you must install
pip
first. For more information about this, see installing pip.
Once you have it installed, run the pip
command from above, but without
the sudo prefix.
Once you have virtualenv installed, just fire up a shell and create your own environment. I usually create a project folder and a venv folder within:
$ mkdir myproject
$ cd myproject
$ virtualenv venv
New python executable in venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip............done.
Now, whenever you want to work on a project, you only have to activate the corresponding environment. On OS X and Linux, do the following:
$ . venv/bin/activate
If you are a Windows user, the following command is for you:
$ venv\scripts\activate
Either way, you should now be using your virtualenv (notice how the prompt of your shell has changed to show the active environment).
And if you want to go back to the real world, use the following command:
$ deactivate
After doing this, the prompt of your shell should be as familar as before.
Now, let’s move on. Enter the following command to get Click activated in your virtualenv:
$ pip install Click
A few seconds later and you are good to go.
Screencast and Examples¶
There is a screencast available which shows the basic API of Click and how to build simple applications with it. It also explores how to build commands with subcommands.
Examples of Click applications can be found in the documentation as well as in the GitHub repository together with readme files:
inout
: File input and outputnaval
: Port of docopt naval examplealiases
: Command alias examplerepo
: Git-/Mercurial-like command line interfacecomplex
: Complex example with plugin loadingvalidation
: Custom parameter validation examplecolors
: Colorama ANSI color supporttermui
: Terminal UI functions demoimagepipe
: Multi command chaining demo
Basic Concepts¶
Click is based on declaring commands through decorators. Internally, there is a non-decorator interface for advanced use cases, but it’s discouraged for high-level usage.
A function becomes a Click command line tool by decorating it through
click.command()
. At its simplest, just decorating a function
with this decorator will make it into a callable script:
import click
@click.command()
def hello():
click.echo('Hello World!')
What’s happening is that the decorator converts the function into a
Command
which then can be invoked:
if __name__ == '__main__':
hello()
And what it looks like:
$ python hello.py
Hello World!
And the corresponding help page:
$ python hello.py --help
Usage: hello.py [OPTIONS]
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Echoing¶
Why does this example use echo()
instead of the regular
print()
function? The answer to this question is that Click
attempts to support both Python 2 and Python 3 the same way and to be very
robust even when the environment is misconfigured. Click wants to be
functional at least on a basic level even if everything is completely
broken.
What this means is that the echo()
function applies some error
correction in case the terminal is misconfigured instead of dying with an
UnicodeError
.
As an added benefit, starting with Click 2.0, the echo function also has good support for ANSI colors. It will automatically strip ANSI codes if the output stream is a file and if colorama is supported, ANSI colors will also work on Windows. See ANSI Colors for more information.
If you don’t need this, you can also use the print() construct / function.
Nesting Commands¶
Commands can be attached to other commands of type Group
. This
allows arbitrary nesting of scripts. As an example here is a script that
implements two commands for managing databases:
@click.group()
def cli():
pass
@click.command()
def initdb():
click.echo('Initialized the database')
@click.command()
def dropdb():
click.echo('Dropped the database')
cli.add_command(initdb)
cli.add_command(dropdb)
As you can see, the group()
decorator works like the command()
decorator, but creates a Group
object instead which can be given
multiple subcommands that can be attached with Group.add_command()
.
For simple scripts, it’s also possible to automatically attach and create a
command by using the Group.command()
decorator instead. The above
script can instead be written like this:
@click.group()
def cli():
pass
@cli.command()
def initdb():
click.echo('Initialized the database')
@cli.command()
def dropdb():
click.echo('Dropped the database')
Adding Parameters¶
To add parameters, use the option()
and argument()
decorators:
@click.command()
@click.option('--count', default=1, help='number of greetings')
@click.argument('name')
def hello(count, name):
for x in range(count):
click.echo('Hello %s!' % name)
What it looks like:
$ python hello.py --help
Usage: hello.py [OPTIONS] NAME
Options:
--count INTEGER number of greetings
--help Show this message and exit.
Switching to Setuptools¶
In the code you wrote so far there is a block at the end of the file which
looks like this: if __name__ == '__main__':
. This is traditionally
how a standalone Python file looks like. With Click you can continue
doing that, but there are better ways through setuptools.
There are two main (and many more) reasons for this:
The first one is that setuptools automatically generates executable wrappers for Windows so your command line utilities work on Windows too.
The second reason is that setuptools scripts work with virtualenv on Unix without the virtualenv having to be activated. This is a very useful concept which allows you to bundle your scripts with all requirements into a virtualenv.
Click is perfectly equipped to work with that and in fact the rest of the documentation will assume that you are writing applications through setuptools.
I strongly recommend to have a look at the Setuptools Integration chapter before reading the rest as the examples assume that you will be using setuptools.

How to Design Programs (HtDP) provides a series of unit testing functions that allow you to test the output of any kind of function. The current version talks about testing your code, but doesn't offer a lot of guidance into how to do that. Everything you need is there though, so in case you are doing this on your own and don't have a teacher to tell you to do this, here's some explanation that I hope helps.
{% highlight scheme %} ;; add: number number -> number ;; add two numbers together (define (add n m) (+ n m))
;; Tests (check-expect (add 1 1) 2) {% endhighlight %}
{% highlight scheme %} (define PI 3.14) (check-within (/ 22 7) PI .003)
(check-within (random 10) 0 9) {% endhighlight %}
One of the things that threw me at first was what to use as the expected value of a check-error test.
An error is HtDP is "throw" by a function like: {% highlight scheme %} (error 'function-name "some message") {% endhighlight %}
After a bit of trial and error, I found out the expected result is a string like: {% highlight scheme %} ; "function-name: some message" (check-error (error 'list-pick "list too short") "list-pick: list too short") {% endhighlight %}
;; Tests (check-error (list-pick empty 1) "list-pick: list too short") (check-expect (list-pick (list 'a 'b 'c 'd) 3) 'd) (check-error (list-pick (list 'a 'b 'c 'd) 4) "list-pick: list too short") {% endhighlight %}

South Korean K-pop star Goo Hara found dead at 28, police say
by David AaroSouth Korean singer and actress Goo Hara has been found dead at her home in Seoul on Sunday, according to Gangnam police who are investigating the cause of death. She was 28.
Hara was internationally known for being a founding member of the K-Pop group Kara, which had a big following in South Korea, Japan, and other Asian countries. She also appeared on television and released a solo album, titled "Alohara," which peaked at No. 4 in the country.
Her death came six months after her manager found her unconscious following a reported suicide attempt in her home, the South China Morning Post reported.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, MOVIE CO-STAR SPOTTED HOLDING HANDS IN NEW ORLEANS BAR
The singer apologized for causing "concerns and a commotion" after the reported attempt in May and months later it seemed like she was making efforts in recovery -- following a number of comeback performances last week, the BBC reported.
Hara signed with a Japanese management agency, Production Ogi, over the summer and released a song titled "Midnight Queen" earlier this month.
She was planning on touring the cities of Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka and Toyko to promote it, The New York Times reported.
MEGHAN MARKLE 'HORRIFIED' BY PRINCE ANDREW'S JEFFREY EPSTEIN INTERVIEW: SOURCES
Her final post on Instagram was a photo of Hara under the covers in bed with the caption "Good night," which was shared with her 1.6 million followers.
She was embroiled last year in public disputes with an ex-boyfriend who claimed she assaulted him. Hara accused the man of having threatened to circulate a sex video of her. The case made her the subject of tabloid fodder and malicious online messages.
In October, another K-pop star and actress, Sulli, was found dead at her home near Seoul. Hara said the two were "like sisters."

Sulli, 25, was known for her feminist voice and outspokenness that was rare in conservative South Korea. Before her death, she appeared in a TV show and spoke out against online backlash she received over her lifestyle.
The pop star was born in Gwangju on January 13, 1991. Her official fan website listed photography, reading, and exercise as her hobbies, while adding that driving was her specialty.

Let me start by saying that I never aspired to climb Kilimanjaro, but, like most adventures, it all began with an semi-serious suggestion from a friend. I’d been trying to plan a trip to Africa over the summer, but I was looking into more typical vacation (read: relaxing) activities like hanging out on a beach in Zanzibar when my friend suggested Kilimanjaro. She’d be in Arusha, Tanzania for a conference in July and, since I had no idea what I was really getting into, I agreed that climbing Kilimanjaro sounded like an exciting, fun vacation. So, I booked my tickets and started some research on the highest peak in Africa.
That "Oh Shit" Moment
If you do some quick googling on Kilimanjaro you’ll find a trove of information about the perils of undertaking the climb. As a former college athlete, I still pride myself in my (steadily diminishing) level of cardiovascular endurance. However, after a few articles about the physical demands of the trek (not to mention the risk of acute mountain sickness) I knew I was in deep shit. So over the next few months I stepped up my cardio regimen from “almost never” to “weekend warrior.” If I couldn’t get out and hike somewhere near San Francisco, then I’d take long walks in city, praying that the hills between my apartment and the grocery store would help me build enough endurance to take me to the summit. By the time I left for Kilimanjaro I was feeling marginally better about my level of preparation.
By the time I arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport (by way of Munich, Cairo, and Addis Ababa) I was in desperate need of a change of clothes and a nap.  I filed a lost-baggage claim that I was only about 50% sure would be resolved within the two weeks I would spend in Tanzania and got in the cab to Arusha. As the driver headed toward town I immediately spotted the huge mountain ahead of us. Before I could ask, he pointed to the hulking shape and said “that’s Meru,” then, gesturing to the review mirror at a mountain at least 1000m higher “that’s Kili.”
Hakuna Matata
Having finally arrived in Arusha, my intended agenda was to join a safari for the next two days, take a rest day, then start the trek. In case it’s not already apparent, I’m not much of a planner, though. However, the next few days went surprisingly well given that I arrived in Tanzania without prearranging anything. Within the next day I managed to book a safari, my friend arranged the trek, and I got word that my bag had miraculously reappeared in Kilimanjaro. So, in the words of my safari guide “Hakuna Matata.” - for those of you who don’t remember “The Lion King,” that means “no worries.”
I Have Some Matatas
When I made it back from the safari, it was time to head to Moshi and make the final preparations for the trek. We took the bus from Arusha to Moshi, a journey of fifty miles, which, in Tanzania means four hours of people sweating on each other. When we finally arrived, our tour guides, Peter and Roman, met us at our hostel to give us the rundown on our 7-day trek to Uhuru peak via the Machame route. I’ve climbed mountains before, including the highest peak in Germany, The Zugspitze (which stands at a paltry 9,718′), but Kilimanjaro was more than double that (19,341’). We’d be scaling the equivalent of the Zugspitze on the first day- every day after that I would literally be reaching new heights. After sharing this information with our guides, they double checked that we had the proper gear and plenty of altitude medication, and somewhat more concerned, made plans to take us to the Machame gate the following morning.
When we arrived at the gate it was drizzling and overcast. We got out of the van to join the small huddles of trekkers gathering around the registration office. Registration took at least an hour, during which my friend and I began to size up the the other groups. Most appeared to be extremely prepared with the latest technical gear and physiques honed by years of Alpinism. We, on the other hand, had a much scrappier flair- sporting worn-in gear from the REI clearance rack and somewhat softer “I-work-at a-desk-job” builds. We’d already paid our guide fee, though, so, ever more worried, we finished our registration and headed to the start of the route.
A Long Walk
I’d be lying if I said climbing Kilimanjaro was a riveting experience. There is only so much enthusiasm one can muster for five straight days of slow walking. The pace did, however, offer plenty of time to appreciate our exotic surroundings on the world’s largest free-standing mountain. As we inched along the path (pole, pole, or ‘slow, slow’ in Swahili) we passed through rainforest, bush- and moorland, and alpine desert. The panoramic views of the mountain around us were breathtaking (as was the lack of atmosphere), but most of the time we fell into a sort of meditative trance watching the path pass one footstep at a time.
We cruised through the first five days- making quiet, steady progress- interrupted only for hydration, snack, and/or altitude medication breaks. By the time we reached Barafu Camp the night before the summit climb I was feeling quite pleased that the trek so far had been uneventful. We made camp, had some dinner, then met our guides for the final debrief before the last leg to the summit.
"I'm Never Doing This Again"
The summit climb would begin at midnight so that we could make it to the peak to see the sunrise. I knew this would be the most challenging leg of the journey for several reasons:
- I love sleep, and waking up in the middle of the night to climb a mountain, even if it is Kilimanjaro, is not something I generally want to do.
- It’s cold. It’s really cold at 16,000’ in the dead of night.
- There really isn’t that much air up there. The trek so far had gone better than expected, but I could tell I was already experiencing some light-headedness and that it was definitely not going to get any better.
- This was the steepest and slowest stretch of the entire trek, gaining 3000’ of elevation over just five miles. This leg would take six to seven hours of effort if we didn’t have to make extra stops.
That evening, as I laid in the tent futilely trying to get as much precious sleep as I could, I contemplated the very real possibility that I could die on this mountain.
Midnight arrived far too quickly and we emerged from our tent into the cold, moonless night wearing our headlamps and almost every article of clothing we’d packed for the week. Drowsily, we began the final ascent. It was impossible to tell where the mountain ended and the sky began in the darkness. We could only see where the trail went by the glow of the headlamps bobbing ahead of us, higher and higher, up into the abyss. With each switchback I checked if I could still see the headlamps above us, knowing that once those lights disappeared over the crest, the summit was within reach.
But, after what seemed like an eternity, it felt as if we were making no progress- I guessed by the furthest headlamp in view that we still had another 1000’ of climbing, probably more. I could feel myself slowing down. My eyes were heavy, my head was swimming, and my footsteps became more of a shuffle. I was losing momentum and there was no end to this hill or to this night in sight. Eventually, I had to ask our guides to stop. I was stumbling, out of breath, and numb with cold. I knew I was toeing the edge of my physical limits, and pushing further at this point might be disastrous. As I sat there for a moment to catch my breath, have some water, and take a few more altitude pills, I honestly wondered if I was dying. I thought to myself, “well, live or die, I’m never doing this again.”
I’d love to call this next bit an inspirational story about perseverance and overcoming self-doubt, but to be completely honest, it was probably just stubbornness that kept me going. I counted my steps to keep my mind off my misery as I trudged forward glassy-eyed and shivering. I knew we were close when first light began to break through the clouds. As we rounded the corner on the final switchback it was like stepping into another world. In the early morning light the peak glowed reddish-orange like the surface of Mars. The end was in sight and all I could think about was getting to the famous “Uhuru Peak" sign and then getting back to camp as quickly as possible.
Above It All
We arranged ourselves in front of the sign and tried look casually nonchalant for our photo. My brain and lungs screamed for air and I was pretty sure I’d gotten a little frostbite on my nose, but somehow I managed to appear happy and relaxed for a few moments.
All around us were views like I’d never seen before: a Martian landscape of rock and ice floating above the clouds. I took a few photos, but mostly I stood and admired the vastness around me. I felt far away from everything: my work, my friends and family, oxygen. I couldn’t help but feel like my whole world was in perspective, dwarfed by the size of this mountain. I’d never felt smaller in my life.
I could only endure the altitude and cold for about ten minutes before I decided it was time to get back to camp (and my sleeping bag). We made our way back to base camp where the rest of team was waiting with snacks and mango juice. We cheered our successful summit, then I laid down for one of the best naps in the history of humankind.
Back to Earth
Over the next day and a half we descended the entirety of Kilimanjaro to the Mweka gate. As we hiked triumphantly back toward civilization I fantasized about a hot shower and real bed. But, no matter how excited I was to bathe and sleep, I was still sad to see Kilimanjaro getting further and further away.
From the start of the trek I was waiting for Kilimanjaro to put me in my place. What I didn’t anticipate, though, was the number of ways I would be humbled throughout the experience. At the end of the day, it didn’t take extraordinary fitness or resolve to take me to places I’d never been before. All I had to do was keep going forward, one step at a time.


Hello there! My name is Tim Hsu Yee Feng. Yes, you can call me Tim, but alot of people know me by my Chinese name Hsu Yee Feng or 徐宇鋒. Anyways, please to meet you.
A little something about myself. I was born in China, but grew up in the US since I was a kid. There, I took education and went to San Francisco State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Ever since then, I became a geeky programmer. Ouch!
Yes, I took up some programming jobs in the US, but although I was generally very successful in the States, I wasn't very happy there. So I moved to a better city, in Hong Kong! Yes, I know the salary there is substantially lower then that of the States, but I love being in a city that is full of life, where i can safely go out at midnight and still be able to get some fishball at the street market. You can't do that in the US.
Anyways, I might create a blog about my adventures one day, but I don't have that kind of time now. But for now, if you wish to know me more, we can add each other as friends. I have a Facebook account here.
Back in 2008, I went on a camping trip with fellow SFSU students. It was one of the best and fun time of my life.
Went to Japan for a week and boy was it beautiful. It's an expensive city with lots of tourist attraction.
This is an old photo of my family, around 2 years after we immigrated to the US.
