Case 1: Month class
Let's take a look at an example of a friendly class.
Comparability and Orderability
>>> m = Month(2018, 6)
>>> m
Month(year=2018, month=6)
>>> m == Month(2018, 6)
True
>>> m != Month(2018, 6)
False
>>> m < Month(2018, 12)
True
>>> m > Month(2019, 1)
False
>>> m <= Month(2018, 12)
True
>>> m >= Month(2018, 6)
True
class Month:
def __init__(self, year, month):
pass
def __repr__(self):
pass
def __eq__(self, other):
pass
def __lt__(self, other):
pass
def __gt__(self, other):
pass
def __le__(self, other):
pass
def __ge__(self, other):
pass
- If you want a class in Python that **(click)** accepts attributes, you'll probably want **(click)** an initializer
- If you want it to have **(click)** a helpful string representation, you'll also want **(click)** a **dunder repr** method
- Dunder, by the way, stands for double underscore and dunder methods are special methods that provide a contract between us and Python
- But what if you also wanted your classes to be **(click)** comparable to other classes?... using **(click)** equality and **(click)** inequality?
- In that case you'll want **(click)** a **dunder eq** method.
- If you wanted to go further, by allowing your classes to be **(click)** sortable, you'll need to implement **(click)** the less than operator with **(click)** **dunder lt**, **(click)** the greater than operator with **(click)** **dunder gt**, the **(click)** less than or equal to operator with **(click)** **dunder le**, and **(click)** the greater than or equal to operator with **(click)** **dunder ge**
- After all this, our class is going to look pretty big
class Month:
def __init__(self, year, month):
self.year, self.month = year, month
def __repr__(self):
return f"Month(year={self.year}, month={self.month})"
def __eq__ (self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) == (other.year, other.month)
def __lt__ (self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) < (other.year, other.month)
def __gt__ (self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) > (other.year, other.month)
def __le__ (self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) <= (other.year, other.month)
def __ge__ (self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) >= (other.year, other.month)
- You might notice there's a lot of code duplication here
- All five of those **(click)** comparison dunder methods are pretty much the same method
- The only real difference is **(click)** the operator they use
- There is a helper in the standard library to make this class a bit shorter
from functools import total_ordering
@total_ordering
class Month:
def __init__(self, year, month):
self.year, self.month = year, month
def __repr__(self):
return f"Month(year={self.year}, month={self.month})"
def __eq__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) == (other.year, other.month)
def __lt__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Month):
return NotImplemented
return (self.year, self.month) < (other.year, other.month)
- It's called `total\_ordering` and it lives in the `functools` module
- It allows us to implement just 2 comparison operators and it'll implement the others automatically
- Here we're implementing equality with `\_\_eq\_\_` and less than with `\_\_lt\_\_`
- But there's still a lot of boilerplate code needed for this class
- We're going to take a look at an even better way to make this class later, but first we're going to take a look at another example
Case 2: Point class
- Let's take a look at one more example
- This time we're going to look at a class that represents a three-dimensional point
Iterability and Immutability
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p
Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)
>>> p == Point(1, 2, 3)
True
>>> x, y, z = p
>>> x
1
>>> p.x = 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1
File "<string>", line 3
AttributeError: object is immutable
>>> {Point(1, 2, 3), Point(1, 2, 3)}
{Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)}
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y, z):
pass
def __repr__(self):
pass
def __eq__(self, other):
pass
def __iter__(self):
pass
def __setattr__(self, name, value):
pass
def __hash__(self):
pass
- Just as in our last example, we're going to want our class to **(click)** accept arguments, **(click)** have a nice string representation, and **(click)** allow itself to be compared to other `Point` objects
- But what if we also want to allow our class **(click)** to be unpacked into three coordinate variables using multiple assignment?
- Meaning we can take our point and **(click)** unpack it into `x`, `y`, and `z` values
- Multiple assignment requires that our class **(click)** be iterable
- We'll need a **(click)** dunder iter method for that
- *(pause)*
- We might also want our class to be **(click)** immutable, meaning **(click)** we can't override any of the attributes after we've created a `Point` object
- For this we need to make a **(click)** custom dunder setattr method, which is a bit of an advanced thing to do but it works
- And if our class is immutable it should be **(click)** safe to use it in dictionary keys and sets
- But we'll need **(click)** a dunder hash method for that
- So after all of this work, our `Point` class ends up looking something like this...
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y, z):
self.x, self.y, self.z = x, y, z
def __repr__(self):
return f"Point(x={self.x}, y={self.y}, z={self.z})"
def __eq__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Point):
return NotImplemented
return tuple(self) == tuple(other)
def __iter__(self):
yield from (self.x, self.y, self.z)
def __setattr__(self, attribute, value):
raise AttributeError("object is immutable")
__delattr__ = __setattr__
def __hash__(self):
return hash(tuple(self))
- This class does quite a bit without too many lines of code
- Some of this is probably new to you
- If you haven't seen `yield` before, you can google generators and iterators and how to make them on your own
- This is basically **code copy-paste time** here. Instead of memorizing all this, we can always copy-paste this class format when we need it.
- So while a lot of these things might be *new* to you, this code is pretty succinct for how much it does. But this is pretty much all boilerplate code. We shouldn't have to type this out, or copy-paste it whenever we need code that works this way.
- Fortunately, there is a tool in the Python standard library that can use to help us
NamedTuple
- It's a helper class called `NamedTuple` and it's built-in to Python 3
from typing import NamedTuple
class Point(NamedTuple):
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p
Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)
>>> p == Point(1, 2, 3)
True
>>> p.x = 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: cannot set attribute
>>>
- `NamedTuple` lives in the `typing` module **(click)**
- To create a new `NamedTuple` class, you inherit from `NamedTuple` and **(click)** use type hints to define attributes on the class
- The **(click)** class we get from this has **(click)** a friendly string representation
- **(click)** Nice default comparisons
- And **(click)** they're immutable, just like tuples
- By the way, if you've seen `namedtuple` before but the inheritance syntax I'm using looks a little unfamiliar that's because there's another way to use `namedtuple` that existed in Python 2 which was a bit more awkward
- This way of using it I'm showing here was inspired by `attrs` and works in Python 3.5 and above
- So out-of-the-box, `NamedTuple` pretty much gives us all the things we were looking for in our `Point` class
- But using `NamedTuple` to implement our `Point` class has some downsides
namedtuple are tuples
>>> Point(1, 2, 3) < Point(4, 5, 6)
True
>>> Point(1, 2, 3) + Point(4, 5, 6)
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
>>> Point(1, 2, 3) * 2
(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)
>>> len(Point(1, 2, 3))
3
- Named tuples inherit from **(click)** tuples
- Which means they inherit all the features that tuples have
- So they can be **(click)** ordered... which can be useful but it doesn't really make sense for our `Point` objects
- They can also be **(click)** added to each other... but the object that comes back from this operation **(click)** *might* not be what you'd expect
- The same is true for multiplication **(click)**
- You can multiply namedtuples by integers, but the **(click)** thing you get back is a little odd
- Also they have **(click)** a length... which also doesn't necessarily make sense in all cases
- So named tuples can be useful, but you sometimes have to be careful while using them
from typing import NamedTuple
class Point(NamedTuple):
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __lt__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __le__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __gt__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __ge__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __add__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __mul__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __rmul__(self, other): raise TypeError
def __len__(self, other): raise TypeError
- You *can* try to override a bunch of methods to fix this issue, but that's *really* awkward
- Finding and removing features that you *don't* want is often trickier than *adding* features that you do want
- So don't use `NamedTuple` unless you're trying to make something that **acts like a tuple**
attrs
- One alternative to named tuples is `attrs`
- `attrs` is a third-party library that makes it easier to create classes with certain common features
$ pip install attrs
import attr
@attr.s(auto_attribs=True)
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p
Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)
>>> p == Point(1, 2, 3)
True
>>> p < Point(4, 5, 6)
True
- You can get attrs by **(click)** pip-installing it
- **(click)** After that you can use it by **(click)** importing attr (without the s, which is a little odd)
- And then **(click)** decorating your class with the `attr.s` decorator
- That `auto_attribs` argument allows us to use **(click)** type hints to define our attributes
- By default, **(click)** `attrs` classes get **(click)** a nice string representation
- And **(click)** they can be logically compared to other objects of the same type
- But **(click)** they can also be *ordered* the same way named tuples can, which again is a bit odd in this case
- Our `Point` objects can be ordered and they aren't iterable or immutable yet
- If we want our `Point` class to work just like the one we made *manually* before, we could do this
import attr
@attr.s(auto_attribs=True, cmp=False , frozen=True )
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from (self.x, self.y, self.z)
def __eq__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Point):
return NotImplemented
return tuple(self) == tuple(other)
def __hash__(self):
return hash(tuple(self))
- Here we've **(click)** frozen our object so the attributes can't be modified
- We've also added **(click)** a dunder iter method to make our object work with multiple assignment
- And we've **(click)** disabled comparisons so we don't get automatic ordering, but that means we have to do a lot of extra work by...
- implementing **(click)** a dunder eq method
- and implementing **(click)** a dunder hash method
- So the `attrs` library is more powerful than named tuples, but it can take a bit of playing with sometimes
- Plus it's a third party library which means you'll need to install it whenever you want to use it
- But there's an `attrs`-like library that's actually bundled with Python now
dataclasses
- Data classes is essentially a simplified version of the `attrs` library that's built-in to the Python standard library
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p
Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)
>>> p == Point(1, 2, 3)
True
>>> p < Point(4, 5, 6)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'Point' and 'Point'
- To use dataclasses, you'll **(click)** import `dataclass` from the `dataclasses` library
- And you'll **(click)** decorate your class, the same way you can with `attrs`
- The syntax relies on **(click)** type hinting, just like `typing.NamedTuple` and `attrs` do
- This **(click)** `Point` class has **(click)** a nice string representation and **(click)** it supports comparisons
- But **(click)** it doesn't support ordering... and that's perfect because we don't want our class to orderable
- But this `Point` class doesn't work quite the way we want it to yet
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> x, y, z = p
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable Point object
>>> p.x = 4
>>> p
Point(x=4, y=2, z=3)
- If we try to use this point with multiple assignment **(click)**, we'll get an error **(click)**, because our `Point` class is not iterable so we can't unpack into 3 variables
- Also if we **(click)** try to assign to the `x` attribute in our class
- It **(click)** works... which isn't good because our class is *supposed to be* **immutable**, meaning we shouldn't be able to change the attributes in our `Point` objects
- We're expecting to get an error here instead
- So we need to make our `Point` class iterable and immutable
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from (self.x, self.y, self.z)
- To make our class iterable, we can add **(click)** a dunder iter method
- Which you could copy-paste from the Point class that we made manually earlier, before we looked at namedtuples and attrs and dataclasses
- But instead of hard-coding **(click)** self.x, self.y, and self.z, you could instead copy-paste this code
- *(pause)*
from dataclasses import dataclass, astuple
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from astuple(self)
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> x, y, z = p
>>> x
1
>>> y
2
- The `dataclasses` library has an `astuple` helper that allows us to get a tuple that contains our object's attributes without manually specifying each of the attributes. Which is kind of nifty.
- *(pause)*
- So our **(click)** `Point` class is iterable now, meaning we can use **(click)** multiple assignment with it
- Which is great **(click)**
- But it's not immutable yet
- To make it immutable, we can set the **(click)** `frozen` attribute when using our `dataclass` decorator
from dataclasses import dataclass, astuple
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from astuple(self)
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p.x = 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 3, in __setattr__
dataclasses.FrozenInstanceError: cannot assign to field 'x'
- Now that we've frozen our `Point` class, if we **(click)** try to assign an attribute on a point object, **(click)**, we'll get an error
- Which is just what we're looking for
- So our class is now iterable, immutable, comparable, and it has a nice representation. But it's *not* orderable, it *doesn't* have a length, and it *doesn't* have other features that don't make sense either
- So using dataclasses, we've made a **friendly class** that has just the features that we want
- All in less than 10 lines of code. I think this is pretty cool.
dataclasses
Built-in to standard library (in Python 3.7)
Available as a third-party library
While attrs supports both Python 2 and Python 3, dataclasses only work on Python 3
dataclasses is simpler, but less feature-rich than attrs
- When I told you before that dataclasses are **(click)** included in the Python standard library, I meant that **(click)** it's included with Python 3.7
- Which was just released pretty recently, so you're probably not using it yet
- It's also **(click)** available as a third-party library though, so you can pip-install it from any version of Python 3. If you're on Python 2, you're out of luck.
- If you need Python 2 support **(click)** or if you need **(click)** more features than dataclasses provide, you might want to reach for the `attrs` library instead
- The dataclasses library was partially inspired attrs, so many of the design decisions made by each are similar
Friendly Class Recipes
- Let's take a look at some common uses for data classes
- I'm intending this section to act as sort of a recipe book for how to make different types of friendly classes
- I don't mean it to be an infomercial for data classes
- But it might be an infomercial for data classes
What you get out of the box
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p
Point(x=1, y=2, z=3)
>>> p == Point(1, 2, 3)
True
- Without any other customization, data classes give you:
- a good string representation for your object
- and they allow you to compare objects to each other with the equality and inequality operators
- That's what data classes give you without any customization
- And that might be all you need
Immutability
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p.x = 4
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 3, in __setattr__
dataclasses.FrozenInstanceError: cannot assign to field 'x'
- But you can also make your data classes immutable by setting **(click)** frozen to True
- This also makes our classes hashable, if that's a thing you care about
Iterability
from dataclasses import dataclass, astuple
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from astuple(self)
>>> p = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> x, y, z = p
>>> tuple(p)
(1, 2, 3)
- And something we've seen that's unrelated to data classes, but certainly works with them, is iterability
- We can make a `\_\_iter\_\_` method on any class to make our class iterable
- That `astuple` helper just makes it *a tiny bit* easier with data classes
- *(pause)*
- One thing I haven't shown you is how to make orderable data classes...
Orderability
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass(order=True)
class Month:
year: int
month: int
>>> Month(2019, 12) < Month(2020, 1)
True
>>> months = [Month(2018, 6), Month(2018, 1), Month(2019, 10)]
>>> print(*sorted(months), sep='\n')
Month(year=2018, month=1)
Month(year=2018, month=6)
Month(year=2019, month=10)
- Before we talked about named tuples, attrs, *or* data classes, we made a `Month` class which was orderable
- Meaning we could use comparison operators, like less than, to ask whether one month object was less than another
- To get this to work as we we'd expect, we can set the `order` to True **(click)** when we decorator our data class
- This makes our class order items lexicographically, which is just the fancy name for the way that Python orders tuples, lists, strings, and pretty much every other type of orderable collection
- One more thing I'd like to discuss that's not at all data class specific is...
Friendly operations
from dataclasses import dataclass, astuple
@dataclass
class Vector:
x: float
y: float
z: float
def __iter__(self):
yield from astuple(self)
def __add__(self, other):
return Vector(*(a + b for a, b in zip(self, other)))
def __sub__(self, other):
return Vector(*(a - b for a, b in zip(self, other)))
>>> Vector(1, 2, 3) + Vector(4, 5, 6)
Vector(x=5, y=7, z=9)
>>> Vector(4, 5, 6) - Vector(1, 2, 3)
Vector(x=3, y=3, z=3)
- Dunder methods!
- One of the secrets to making a friendly class is embracing dunder methods
- This is a class that implements `\_\_iter\_\_`, `\_\_add\_\_` and `\_\_sub\_\_`.
- The `\_\_add\_\_` and `\_\_sub\_\_` methods make addition **(click)** and subtraction **(click)** work our class
- And that `\_\_iter\_\_` method makes the implementation of those other two methods a bit simpler
- Sometimes people call dunder methods *magic methods*
- Dunder methods are **not** magical and they're not scary: dunder methods can make class friendlier
- *(pause)*
- Before we wrap up, I'd like you to consider...
Should I make a class?
- Whether you even need classes
class Matrix:
"""Turn a string into a matrix-like thing."""
def __init__(self, string):
self.string = string
@property
def rows(self):
return [
[float(x) for x in row.split()]
for row in self.string.splitlines()
]
@property
def columns(self):
return [
list(column)
for column in zip(*self.rows)
]
>>> matrix = Matrix("9 8 7\n5 3 2\n6 6 7")
>>> matrix.rows
[[9, 8, 7], [5, 3, 2], [6, 6, 7]]
>>> matrix.columns
[[9, 5, 6], [8, 3, 6], [7, 2, 7]]
- This is a class that represents a matrix **(click)**
- This class accepts **(click)** a string that represents a matrix of numbers, separated by spaces and newline characters
- When we construct a `Matrix` from our class, that `matrix` object will have **(click)** a rows attribute that gives us back the rows in our matrix
- And it also has **(click)** a columns attribute that gives us back a *transposed* version of those rows
- *This class* **does not** need to exist
- I say that, because we could *replace* this class...
def matrix_from_string(string):
"""Convert rows of numbers to list of lists."""
return [
[float(x) for x in row.split()]
for row in string.splitlines()
]
def transpose(matrix):
"""Return a transposed version of given list of lists."""
return [
list(column)
for column in zip(*matrix)
]
>>> matrix = matrix_from_string("9 8 7\n5 3 2\n6 6 7")
>>> matrix
[[9, 8, 7], [5, 3, 2], [6, 6, 7]]
>>> transpose(matrix)
[[9, 5, 6], [8, 3, 6], [7, 2, 7]]
- With two functions:
- matrix_from_string **(click)** and transpose **(click)**
- We call call that `matrix_from_string` function the **(click)** same way we called our `Matrix` class constructor before
- But instead of giving us a `matrix` object back, **(click)** it gives us back a list of numbers, just like our `rows` attribute did on our `matrix` object
- If we pass that list of numbers to the `transpose` function **(click)**, we'll get back the transpose matrix of that list of numbers, just like we did when we used the `columns` attribute on the matrix that we had before
- *(pause)*
- You **do not** always need classes
- Friendly classes are great, but the friendliest code sometimes doesn't have classes at all
Advanced Recipes
- So I have even more recipes, but they're kind of advanced and I'm going to skip over these slides entirely because I don't have time to go through them
- I will tweet out a link to the slides later in case you're interested in them though
- **[skip this section]**
- Before we wrap up, I'd like you to consider...
Metadata on fields!
from dataclasses import dataclass, field, fields
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
y: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
z: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
color: str
def __iter__(self):
return (
getattr(self, field.name)
for field in fields(self)
if field.metadata.get('iter')
)
>>> x, y, z = Point(1, 2, 3, color='red')
>>> (x, y, z)
(1, 2, 3)
- The dataclasses library has a `field` class that can be used to store metadata about each of our fields
- metadata allows you to attach information to your class fields and kind of extend the functionality of dataclasses
- Here we're making **(click)** some of our attributes iterable and **(click)** some of them not
- **(click)** These `field` objects can be used for lots of other things
- One example is compare, which can be used to make some fields non-comparable, which could be handy in some cases
Non-comparable fields!
from dataclasses import dataclass, field, fields
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
y: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
z: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
color: str = field(compare=False )
def __iter__(self):
return (
getattr(self, field.name)
for field in fields(self)
if field.metadata.get('iter')
)
>>> p1 = Point(1, 2, 3, color='red')
>>> p2 = Point(1, 2, 3, color='blue')
>>> p1 == p2
True
- Adding `compare=False` to a dataclass **(click)** removes that field from comparisons
- So if we have **(click)** two points that have the same coordinates but one is red and one is blue
- And we ask whether these two points are equal **(click)**
- We'll see that **(click)** they are because we're ignoring the color when we compare them
Dynamic default values!
from dataclasses import dataclass, field, fields
import random
def random_color(): return random.choice(['purple', 'blue', 'red'])
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
y: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
z: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})
color: str = field(default_factory=random_color , compare=False)
def __iter__(self):
...
>>> p1 = Point(1, 2, 3)
>>> p1.color
'blue'
- `default_factory` is another advanced feature of data class fields
- With `default_factory` we can specify a function that chooses a random color
- So that when we **(click)** create a point without a color specified **(click)**, it'll call that `random_color` function to randomly choose a color for us
- Alright just one more advanced feature of data classes...
Auto-created fields
from dataclasses import dataclass, field, fields
import random
def random_color(): return random.choice(['purple', 'blue', 'red'])
@dataclass
class Point:
x: float = field(metadata={'iter': True})

- Auto-created fields
- We've already made a data class that sets a **(click)** a dynamic default value for **(click)** our `color` attribute
- This class here also goes a step further by disallowing that color attribute from being specified manually **(click)** give us an error if we try to specify that attribute manually
- This works by setting **(click)** `init=False` on our dataclass `field` and creating a custom **(click)** dunder post_init method, which is a dataclass-specific dunder method that gets called by dunder init
- **(click)** These are all pretty complex things I just flashed by and if you actually need any of those features, you can consult the dataclasses documentation on your own
- Before we wrap up, I'd like you to consider...


Tech startups to compete in hyperspace challenge
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - More than a dozen small businesses will be gathering in New Mexico next week for the 2019 Hyperspace Challenge .
The Air Force and a business accelerator with ties to Central New Mexico Community College recently selected 14 finalists for this year’s challenge.
The effort brings together technology startups and government innovators from around the country to collaborate and solve real-world problems facing the space industry.
Organizers say the space industry is a growing component of the economy and many entities are looking for ways to foster innovation and investment.
The finalists will participate in a three-day hyper-accelerator in Albuquerque. The startup with the most viable pitch will be awarded incentives and prize money to help establish acquisition or contracting opportunities with the government.

Massive blast rocks militant-held town in northern Syria, 13 killed
by News DeskBEIRUT, LEBANON (12:45 P.M.) – A massive blast rocked the militant-held town of Al-Bab in eastern Aleppo today, local activists reported via social media.
According to the reports, as many as 13 civilians were killed and more than 20 others were wounded as a result of what is believed to be a car bombing.
No group has claimed responsibility for this latest attack.
Al-Bab was captured by the Turkish-backed forces during their 2016 offensive in northern Syria; it has served as a front-line town for their troops and the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in east Aleppo.


Hello. This is the Tradeshift Sample Starter App, original source is located at Github.
The sample showcases some of the capabilities of the Tradeshift Platform and can also work as something to get you started quickly. The documentation for the platform's features is available here. Each tab shows a different aspect of our platform and explains what the app is doing. You can learn more about the sample app, their source code, and how to install them here.
This is the so-called Embedded App. The server-side code runs outside of Tradeshift's data center, and is included into the Tradeshift user interface through an iframe. It uses the Tradeshift UI Components, which gives it consistent user experience with the rest of Tradeshift Apps. It was configured through Tradeshift.Developer app. It calls the Tradeshift API. Open different tabs to see the different features.
The app's UI is written using Angular.js and Tradeshift UI Components.
This is mock data, retrieved from App's server by accessing '/demo/grid-data' URI. It uses Table Tradeshift UI component to display the data.
Simple page demonstrating UI Components such as buttons and form inputs.
Health check is a way Tradeshift can monitor uptime of the third-party app server (this is an upcoming feature in Developer app). The button '/health' on the server side and displays the result to the user. We recommend that you also implement some monitoring for uptime of your Tradeshift app
This example demonstrates calling Tradeshift API. Below are the documents (if any present) from your Tradeshift account. The app retrieves it by calling Tradeshift API at: {tradeshiftAPIServerURL}/rest/external/documents. The page uses the Menu Tradeshift UI component to display the data.
In this tab, we show you an example of identity information we pass to your application. When you first authorize with Tradeshift using OAuth2, along with access token and refresh token we pass in id_token, which is a JSON Web Token encoding some information about the company and user that's activating your app. You can then use this information to let your app know which user is using the app, and save any mappings between Tradeshift namespace and yours. More info about this here
| Claim | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| userId | Tradeshift user UUID | {{jwtInfo.userId}} |
| companyId | Tradeshift organization id | {{jwtInfo.companyId}} |
| sub | Tradeshift account id / user email | {{jwtInfo.tradeshiftUserEmail}} |
| aud | Audience, the recipient token is intended for (App Name in this case) | {{jwtInfo.appName}} |

This tab demonstrated with the Task List. Task List is a place where Tradeshift users go for things that they need to take action on. Through API, you can create new tasks, get list of tasks and complete tasks. Below you see some of the internal ids for the tasks assigned to the current user. This page is generated by calling the API: {tradeshiftAPIServerURL}/rest/external/tasks?limit=25&page=0. For rendering your tasks inside Tradeshift (accomplished by javascript handler that runs inside Tradehift JavaScript browser runtime), you will currently need to work with the Tradeshit Apps enablement team.

Once an elderly monk
and a young monk were trudging through the forest, back towards their
monastery They had to cross a small river, which was at that time in spate. The water was not deep but the current
looked dangerously swift. Monks know the value of patience. They
would wait it out, until it was safe to cross the river.
On the same river
bank stood a young attractive woman looking tired, hungry and very
anxious. With hesitation she approached the monks and said, "I
have been here all day. I am desperate to get to my home on the other
side. My young children will be waiting for me for they will be very
hungry. Sirs please help me to get across, I implore you."
The fresh joiners to
any group are too eager to be accepted and therefore always more
earnest in obeying orders. The more zealous people become, the less
they see, think and feel.
Being an ascetic the younger monk took his vows very seriously. He
refused to even make eye contact and simply turned his back on the
woman. He dismissively gestured to her to be gone.
The elder monk was
both wise and spiritual. He too had taken many vows, but he felt it
no sin to look at and listen to the woman. With spiritual awakening,
compassion blooms. The monk felt the anxiety of a mother longing to
reach out to her children. He felt obliged to be of service and to
assist the young woman in distress.
He set about putting
together a makeshift raft, and when completed he waded into the river
with the raft. He gestured to her to sit on it and she hesitatingly
climbed on board and held on to the monk and raft for dear life.

Abstract: We propose a method for sequential Bayesian kernel regression. As is the case for the popular Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) [10, 11], the method automatically identiﬁes the number and locations of the kernels. Our algorithm overcomes some of the computational difﬁculties related to batch methods for kernel regression. It is non-iterative, and requires only a single pass over the data. It is thus applicable to truly sequential data sets and batch data sets alike. The algorithm is based on a generalisation of Importance Sampling, which allows the design of intuitively simple and efﬁcient proposal distributions for the model parameters. Comparative results on two standard data sets show our algorithm to compare favourably with existing batch estimation strategies.

Target¶
-
class
oslo_messaging.
Target
(exchange=None, topic=None, namespace=None, version=None, server=None, fanout=None, legacy_namespaces=None)¶ Identifies the destination of messages.
A Target encapsulates all the information to identify where a message should be sent or what messages a server is listening for.
Different subsets of the information encapsulated in a Target object is relevant to various aspects of the API:
- an RPC Server’s target:
- topic and server is required; exchange is optional
- an RPC endpoint’s target:
- namespace and version is optional
- an RPC client sending a message:
- topic is required, all other attributes optional
- a Notification Server’s target:
- topic is required, exchange is optional; all other attributes ignored
- a Notifier’s target:
- topic is required, exchange is optional; all other attributes ignored
Its attributes are:
Parameters: - exchange (str) – A scope for topics. Leave unspecified to default to the control_exchange configuration option.
- topic (str) – A name which identifies the set of interfaces exposed by a
server. Multiple servers may listen on a topic and messages will be
dispatched to one of the servers selected in a best-effort round-robin
fashion (unless fanout is
True
). - namespace (str) – Identifies a particular RPC interface (i.e. set of methods) exposed by a server. The default interface has no namespace identifier and is referred to as the null namespace.
- version (str) – RPC interfaces have a major.minor version number associated with them. A minor number increment indicates a backwards compatible change and an incompatible change is indicated by a major number bump. Servers may implement multiple major versions and clients may require indicate that their message requires a particular minimum minor version.
- server (str) – RPC Clients can request that a message be directed to a specific server, rather than just one of a pool of servers listening on the topic.
- fanout (bool) – Clients may request that a copy of the message be delivered
to all servers listening on a topic by setting fanout to
True
, rather than just one of them. - legacy_namespaces (list of strings) – A server always accepts messages specified via the ‘namespace’ parameter, and may also accept messages defined via this parameter. This option should be used to switch namespaces safely during rolling upgrades.
Target Versions¶
Target version numbers take the form Major.Minor. For a given message with version X.Y, the server must be marked as able to handle messages of version A.B, where A == X and B >= Y.
The Major version number should be incremented for an almost completely new API. The Minor version number would be incremented for backwards compatible changes to an existing API. A backwards compatible change could be something like adding a new method, adding an argument to an existing method (but not requiring it), or changing the type for an existing argument (but still handling the old type as well).
If no version is specified it defaults to ‘1.0’.
In the case of RPC, if you wish to allow your server interfaces to evolve such that clients do not need to be updated in lockstep with the server, you should take care to implement the server changes in a backwards compatible and have the clients specify which interface version they require for each method.
Adding a new method to an endpoint is a backwards compatible change and the version attribute of the endpoint’s target should be bumped from X.Y to X.Y+1. On the client side, the new RPC invocation should have a specific version specified to indicate the minimum API version that must be implemented for the method to be supported. For example:
def get_host_uptime(self, ctxt, host):
cctxt = self.client.prepare(server=host, version='1.1')
return cctxt.call(ctxt, 'get_host_uptime')
In this case, version ‘1.1’ is the first version that supported the get_host_uptime() method.
Adding a new parameter to an RPC method can be made backwards compatible. The endpoint version on the server side should be bumped. The implementation of the method must not expect the parameter to be present.:
def some_remote_method(self, arg1, arg2, newarg=None):
# The code needs to deal with newarg=None for cases
# where an older client sends a message without it.
pass
On the client side, the same changes should be made as in example 1. The minimum version that supports the new parameter should be specified.


What Lies Beneath (2000) Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Diana Scarwid, Miranda Otto, James Remar, Joe Morton, Amber Valletta, Victoria Birdwell, Katharine Towne. Music by Alan Silvestri. Screenplay by Clark Gregg. Story by Sarah Kernochan and Gregg. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. 130 minutes. Rated PG-13, 2.5 stars (out of five stars)

The question applies to all involved parties: writers Clark Gregg and Sarah Kernochan, stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer, director Robert Zemeckis, and the marketing department at DreamWorks.
First up are the writers. It's easy to imagine Gregg and Kernochan sitting in a room, kicking around ideas. Sadly, most of the ideas belong to other people. "What Lies Beneath" begins with a healthy dose of "Rear Window," sprinkles in a bit of "Sixth Sense," pours the results into the shower scene from "Psycho," then ladles on heaps of "Fatal Attraction" and even a little "Friday the 13th." What were they thinking?
Incidentally, when perusing the writers' list of cinematic "samples," please note that they start by stealing from exceptional films and end up ripping off dreck. To no surprise, the movie follows the same downward spiral.
Claire Spencer (Pfeiffer) has too much time on her hands. With her daughter off at college and husband, Norman (Ford), preoccupied with work, she wanders the grounds of their Vermont home, looking for something to fill the gap left by the absence of her loved ones. After overhearing a fight between the neighbors, she finds herself spying on the house, fearing that the husband may have done harm to his wife.
Then things begin to happen at Claire's own home. The front door opens on its own just as she reaches for the handle. She hears a barely audible voice from the shadows. Initials appear on a computer screen. And then Claire glances into the tub and sees the reflection of a woman's face. Terrified, she turns to Norman, who, of course, doesn't believe her.
That's as much as I can tell you without revealing key plot points. Unfortunately, the brain trust at DreamWorks advertising department had no problems in that area. Trailers for "What Lies Beneath" casually spill roughly three-fourths of the storyline. While not as extreme as some ad campaigns (such as the one for "Double Jeopardy," which provided a Cliffs Notes version of the whole damn plot), it remains an annoying example of marketing at its most idiotic. What were they thinking?
And what was Robert Zemeckis thinking? Why is the man who directed such original fare as "Back to the Future" and "Forrest Gump" slumming with a movie like this? To his credit, he handles the material with style, at least for the first hour. I appreciated the way he eased into the ghost business, ever so gently pulling the viewer into Claire's nightmare. Equally impressive is his use of camera angles and lighting, which transform Claire and Norman's picturesque home into something quite ominous.
But Zemeckis is so intent on drawing shrieks from his audience that he doesn't know when to quit. As the film progresses, he tightens his framing so much that anything that enters the screen startles the viewer. Sure, the technique makes people scream, but it's an awfully lazy way to get it done. Late in the film, some of the camera angles become downright embarrassing, especially in a menacing-hands-approaching-the-camera-lens shot that looks like an outtake from an Ed Wood horror flick.
And then there's Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. As always, Pfeiffer is fascinating to watch. Those cat eyes and that angular face are mesmerizing – the woman has a great skull. Her acting is fine here, although I wonder why she didn't challenge the filmmakers over the inconsistencies of her character. Alone, Claire takes the initiative, even as her situation becomes increasingly dangerous, so why is she so mousy around her husband? We learn that Claire gave up her cello for her family. Why? Norman certainly didn't give up anything, so why did she forfeit something so precious? And why, late in the film, did Pfeiffer consent to behave like a camp counselor from "Friday the 13th? "
For Harrison Ford, "What Lies Beneath" marks the latest in a recent series of odd career moves. As in "Random Hearts," Ford plays a dour, brooding husband. Oh sure, he livens up in the second half of the film, but I didn't buy the transformation for a second. Harrison, please, sign up for another Indiana Jones or Jack Ryan movie as fast as you can and don't ever take a role like this again.
Come to think of it, that would be my advice to everyone involved with this movie. "What Lies Beneath" delivers more than its share of cheap thrills, but the operative word here is "cheap." Movies like this should be left for actors and directors on their way up, or on their way down, not for talents as vital as Michelle Pfeiffer, Harrison Ford and Robert Zemeckis.
What were they thinking?

"BY HOOK OR BY CROOK."
IN the parish of Egles-Hayle are two crosses, known as "Peverell's Crosses;" and near Mount Charles, also in this parish, is another "moorstone" cross, called the Prior's Cross, whereon is cut the figure of a hook and a crook, in memory of the privileges granted by a prior, belonging to the family of the Peverells, who are said to have possessed lands in this parish since the time of Richard II.
The poor of Bodmin were greatly distressed through the scarcity of fuel, the "turf" or peat of the moors, being insufficient to supply their wants. The prior gave "privilege and freedom" to the poor of Bodmin for gathering, for "fire-boote and house-boote," such boughs and branches of oak-trees in his woods at Dunmear, as they could reach to, or come at, with a "hook and a crook," without further damage to the trees.
Hence the proverb concerning filching, "that they will have it by hook or by crook."

A MONTH BY THE LAKE A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1995 Ben Hoffman
A Month By The Lake
Here is another film that should be nominated for an Oscar ... in just about every category. If you loved ENCHANTED APRIL, you cannot afford to miss A MONTH BY THE LAKE.
The stories of the two films are entirely different but the mood, the scenery, the acting have the same wonderful flavor that was found in ENCHANTED APRIL. Vanessa Redgrave (as Miss Bentley) has never been better. I sat transfixed as I watched this great actress do her stuff.
Miss Bentley has been coming with her father to a resort near Italy's famed Lake Como since she was a child. Now a middle-aged but beautiful and lively spinster, this is the first time she is there alone, her father having died that year. "Unmarried" would be a more accurate choice than "spinster."
Major Wilshaw, a wealthy and fascinating man ((Edward Fox) unexpectedly catches her eye. This is his first visit to the resort and she arranges to show him around. Despite some happenings that might have broken the light relationship they had, they somehow continue to see a lot of each other until the young and beautiful Miss Beaumont (Uma Thurman), a nanny to two children, makes a play for the wealthy Major. That is when things begin to happen; you will not want to miss a moment.

invariant
Syntax
An invariantAssertion is:
Description
An invariant assertion is a special form of an assert statement that is used only in loop and for statements and in modules, monitors, and classes. It is used to make sure that a specific requirement is met. This requirement is given by the trueFalseExpn. The trueFalseExpn is evaluated. If it is true, all is well and execution continues. If it is false, execution is terminated with an appropriate message. See assert, loop and for statements and the module declarations for more details.
Example
This program uses an invariant in a for loop. The invariant uses the function nameInList to specify that a key has not yet been found in an array of names.
var name : array 1 .. 100 of string
var key : string
input name and key
function nameInList ( n : int) : boolean
for i : 1 .. n
if key = name ( i ) then
result true
end if
end for
result false
end nameInList
for j : 1 .. 100
invariant not nameInList ( j - 1)
if key = name ( j) then
put "Found name at ", j
exit
end if
end loop

BEAU TRAVAIL
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Pathe Television/La Sept ARTE Director: Claire Denis Writer: Claire Denis, Jean Pol Fargeau, inspired by Herman Melville's "Billy Budd" Cast: Gregoire Colin, Denis Lavant, Michel Subor
If you want to strip human beings to their essence, situate your movie in the desert, an area with virtually no civilian conveniences, and assemble your cast of characters in a closed space from which they cannot escape.   But the demons are bound to come out, the imps of envy and hatred the most likely candidates for surfacing.
This probably accounts for Claire Denis's situating her tense, incredibly spare 90 minute piece in a remote outpost of the French Foreign Legion in the little nation of Djibouti on Africa's Red Sea. The local inhabitants of the area, largely Muslim women who show up weekly at the dance floor to exhibit their supple bodies with gyrating rhythms at the social hall accompanied by the French men who rotate and revolve respectably in close proximity.
"Beau Travail" has little dialogue and is largely narrated from the point of view of the leader of the small group of legionnaires, Sgt. Galoup (Denis Lavant). Galoup has the men's affection and loyalty and commands discipline from this vigorous group who are under the overall command of a philosophic older man, Bruno Forestier (Michel Subor). Director Denis puts the fellows through their weekly paces, seeing the routine lives of these men guarding their remote outpost with such macho intensity that you're surprised to discover that the helmer is a woman. In one of the most physical of films, these actors--not stunt men, mind you, but performers--actually run under a series of barbed wire fences, climb over hurdles, jump into pits and climb out in the blink of an eye, do pushups in all varieties including medium-downs and bouncing on their palms, and practice disarming attackers with knives. There's even a strange exercise that has the men hugging one another and separating, hugging and separating, and performing amphibian workouts with guns in tow. When their bodies are not in frantic motion, they are ironing their pants, putting perfect creases in their trousers to symbolize their elegance, and at least one pair of fellows can play a mean game of chess.
The conflict arises when Sgt. Lavant becomes increasingly envious of one of the guys, Gilles Sentain, a tall, well-built, handsome recruit who is admired by the men and who, in one instance, becomes a hero when he rescues a flier from a downed chopper. Determined to make life miserable for him, the sergeant contrives a plan that he hopes will lead to the legionnaire's death.
The movie is inspired by Herman Melville's "Billy Budd," which every junior high kid in America must have had to read at one time. "Billy Budd" was about a midshipman who was a stabilizing influence on the rough crew of a merchant ship. When he is taken aboard the "Indomitable," he is popular with all the officers and crew except John Claggart, the master-at- arms, who is envious of Billy's almost perfect physique and personality. But whereas Melville's story was about an innocent youth trapped in the brutality of fleet regulations or, perhaps, one who represents truth and beauty trapped by the wickedness of the world, the crew in which Sentain finds himself is a well-behaved troupe that needed no particular stabilizing, making the viewer wonder exactly why the sergeant hated him so much. Sentain is not overwhelmingly worshipped by the men, who give their allegiance freely to the sergeant, and therefore Galoup's behavior is tough to accept.
The story takes a back seat, however, to the poetry of the filmmaking. "Beau Travail" makes its points with minimal use of dialogue, allowing the images to convey the Spartan nature of life in such a remote region, a man's world, and nicely juxtaposes the scenes of the local women exhibiting their body moves with the more aggressive and testosterone- enkindled mobility of the men.
Not Rated. Running Time: 90 minutes. (C) 1999 Harvey Karten

PART I. GENERAL PROVISIONS
[§514B-1] Short title. This chapter may be cited as the Condominium Property Act. [L 2004, c 164, pt of §2]


Can You Be a Rainmaker and Bring Hope to Dry Places?
by Sherri WoodbridgeYou may have encountered the term “rainmaker” used in the nonliteral sense. Lindsay McPhail, editorial director of The Wild Woman Magazine, describes a rainmaker as “someone who brings hope to dry and barren places.
Sharing our stories might be the most healing thing that we can do for someone else. As the saying goes, “Misery loves company.” It’s true. But misery wants company that will help in a constructive, health-giving way.
If we sit down to start sharing our woes with someone who desperately needs hope, we might make their problems worse. But if we tell our story in a way that encourages the other person, and makes them feel understood, supported, and watered in their barren places while shedding light on their darkness, we might help them to stand on their own two feet and move forward feeling restored.
But how do you encourage others with Parkinson’s disease when you need reassurance yourself? How can you feel understood in your experience of this disease when no one seems to be listening?
When you need light, you may believe that the darkness will never dissipate. When you crave water, you feel as if you’ll never escape the dry, barren desert. Hope can seem unobtainable.
But hope exists, even if it seems remote. It comes in the guise of courage that refuses to quit. You show up to exercise, and hope appears in the form of perseverance and endurance. Hope shines through as determination and strength of character. It pushes forward even when you feel pulled back. It takes one day, one hour, one minute at a time, because you know that — deep down inside — hope exists, or you would have thrown in the towel long ago.
Hope enables you to stand on your own two feet. As a rainmaker, you share your story to help another person out of their darkness and into the light. You have shared hope and, thus, the gift of life.

Question
The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.
Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.
Analysis
We suppose the largest such palindrome will have six digits rather than five, because 143*777 = 111111 is a palindrome. And we can tell that 6-digit base-10 palindrome must be a multiple of 11.
So the question becomes finding the largest palindrome under a million that is a product of two 3-digit numbers.
Solution
We now declare variable m and n:
- step m down from 999 to 100 by 1
- step n down from 999 to 100 by:
- if m is divisible by 11, then step n down by 11
- if m is indivisible by 11, then step n down by 1
- keep track of the largest product found so far: p = r * s
- next time when we found such product value (m * n), it must be m <= r. So n have to be really large in order to make the final product larger than p.
- i.e. n >= p/m.
- As larger palindromes are found, the range of n gets more restricted

It was long coming and finally the day has come, I have started to learn how to use vim.
It finally happened a week ago, I had to start using vim. It was very convenient that I had to pair program with Sam all week and I was sort of forced somewhat to use it. He has been using it for couple of weeks already and was a bit ahead of me. It probably wasn't quite so easy for him to pair with someone who was at a turtle speed at the very best. Because this is what happens when you start using vim, mouse/trackpad have no use while in vim. Everything is achieved with commands and shortcuts.
As soon as you start using vim you suddenly realise that you also need to multiplex and one of the most popular tools for that is tmux, it allows you to have multiple panes within vim. This just adds a bit of complexity, also means that there are more shortcuts to remember!
I am still working on my touch-typing as its one of the things that also slows me down in vim. Apart from remembering all the shortcuts you need to be able to punch them in fast to be efficient.
I am really looking forward to the days when I am proficient. Then, the only problem is making sure that my ideas and thoughts are flowing as fast as my fingers to take down the code!

Our collaborations this year were quite diverse, from engaging with our satellite campus to connecting with a team from Japan to being active locally in helping to found the first completely high school based iGEM team in Washington State!
In the past, our team received numerous emails from high school students interested in joining our team. However, this rarely worked out, due to liability at our university, logistical issues, and our team’s limited space and resources. As our team has grown in the last few years, it became even harder to take on high school students, and as the only team in Washington State, we began looking for other ways for high school students to participate in iGEM.
Thus, last year, we set out a plan to start a high school team in partnership with multiple schools in our area. We worked with high school students Roya Amini-Naieni (Bellevue International School) and Anna Vasyura (Tesla STEM HS) to recruit members from five East Side high schools.
That’s when SoundBio stepped in. SoundBio Lab is a DIY Bio lab near the University of Washington that allows citizen scientists to develop their own personal projects, and also engages with students of all ages through community outreach programs. Despite a long commute, the high school team migrated their work to the SoundBio lab space and SoundBio researchers stepped up to participate as instructors.
Members from Team Washington provided training materials for lab safety based on safety certification programs from the University of Washington Environmental Health and Safety Department. We helped plan initial meetings at Tesla High School, Microsoft Headquarters, and SoundBio Lab, developing a plan with the iTesla-SoundBio leadership team and brainstorming project ideas. Members of our team led lab training at the SoundBio lab at the start of the season, and gave guidance in brainstorming sessions and project selection. Throughout the season, we have been available for advice and troubleshooting. Finally, we have coached the team as they prepare their wiki, presentation, and poster for the Jamboree.
This collaboration has given us an appreciation for the vast amount of work that goes into starting a new team, and we are very proud of the high school students who took on this challenge. We are excited to have a new partnership with the SoundBio lab as well, and are looking forward to seeing this team grow and develop in the coming years.
We have also reached out to help another high school team, team Austin_UTexas_LASA, a high school team from the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, Texas. Their team is working on a L-DOPA production, sensing, and control system using a two-plasmid regulation system. One plasmid, a “production” plasmid, produces L-DOPA in vivo. Another plasmid, a “detection” plasmid, detects L-DOPA and uses a Venus gene as a reporter system. In addition, they are also planning to integrate a control system in which the Venus reporter will regulate the production plasmid. They hope to use this system as a new exciting way to elucidate the mechanisms of Parkinson’s disease.
We had a videoconference session to give advice on their project design, offered advice and critique on their wiki, and our presenter and leadership team has given feedback on their presentation.
We are amazed at the amount of effort this new team has put in! We wish them the best of luck at the Jamboree and hope to develop more collaborations with them in future years!
One of our outreach members, Lahari, went to Japan to work in an internship. While she was there, she connected with Team Gifu, an up and coming excellent team from Gifu University. Developing on a previous iGEM project, Team Gifu is creating a LAM (Lactic acid-mediated) communication system utilizing the GAR+ prion. GAR, or glucose associated repression controls the usage of glucose of yeast. Using this technology, they have tried to make a biosensor to sense a phenomenon called “hiochi” in Japanese sake.
Ryo from Team Gifu communicated with Lahari about our respective projects. They offered some advice on some wetlab issues we encountered, and some alternatives to our violacein expression mechanism. We hope that we can help each other by sharing suggestions on our presentations!
Team Cadets2Vets is a community lab based at the University of Washington - Tacoma, our satellite campus! They have created a diverse community lab team composed of members from high schools in the Seattle Puget Sound area, students and faculty from University of Washington - Tacoma, Tacoma Community College, and the United States Military Academy in West Point.
In a videoconference session with their team, our team shared our project and its possible uses and applications. We learned that the Cadets2Vets team is working closely with the US Military. Aligned with US Military interests, the team has created an inexpensive, portable means of arsenic detection. Their hardware system uses components and concepts similar to our Chromastat’s color-sensing hardware, and we exchanged ideas and possible avenues of development based on our experience. The Cadets2Vets team shared insight about possible ways to develop our biobricks and wetlab work.
