Ederson returns as City look to bounce back against Chelsea
by FSA EditorEderson’s absence was keenly felt by Manchester City at Anfield where defeat saw them drop nine points behind Liverpool.
Manchester City will welcome back goalkeeper Ederson for the Premier League visit of Chelsea on Saturday.
The Brazil international suffered a thigh injury during City’s 1-1 Champions League draw at Atalanta earlier this month, ruling him out of the 3-1 defeat at Liverpool where understudy Claudio Bravo deputised.
The reverse gave Jurgen Klopp’s men a nine-point advantage over City at the Premier League summit and the reigning champions lie fourth, a point and a place behind their weekend opponents.
Manager Pep Guardiola can therefore be grateful Ederson’s brief but keenly felt absence is at an end.
Asked whether his number one would be fit at a pre-match news conference, Guardiola replied: “Yep. He trained the last two or three days without pain.”
The fallout from City’s loss at Anfield extended to a confrontation between Raheem Sterling and Liverpool defender Joe Gomez while on international duty.
Manager Gareth Southgate elected to stand down Sterling for England’s 7-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Montenegro before restoring him to face Kosovo, but Guardiola believes the episode is done and dusted for his star attacker.
“I spoke with him. He’s fine,” he said.
“He said Joe is an excellent guy and they have a good relationship.
“It sometimes happens.”
Asked whether such a flashpoint mirrored the widely reported hostility between Barcelona and Real Madrid players on international duty during his time in Spain, Guardiola was somewhat sceptical.
“I don’t think so. [There is] no comparison,” he replied.
Guardiola must do without Bernardo Silva against Chelsea, after the Football Association imposed a one-match ban and an education course upon the Portugal playmaker for a racially insensitive tweet he sent to team-mate Benjamin Mendy.
Throughout the affair, Guardiola has staunchly defended Silva’s character as opposed to engaging with what offence might have been caused elsewhere, earning criticism in some quarters.
Nevertheless, he sounded a similar tone on Friday.
“In that situation the less important thing is the fact we are going to miss him,” he said.
“He has been accused of something he is not, so if they want to pick up someone to show something he was the right person.
“He will be careful using the social media. If this can help to do a better society, okay. I’m pretty sure Bernardo accepts this punishment.
“He is not like he has been accused. They don’t know him.”
Despite such controversies and long-term injuries to the likes of Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte, Guardiola remained bullish over his team’s prospects of mounting a credible title defence.
“A few weeks ago there was just two contenders and for the rest it was impossible, now it’s four and maybe six in a few days,” he added.
“We’re in November, a long time to play and we try to focus on the next one.”


graphs
2.7. graphs#
Some notes on computer science graphs.
Edges are of the form (v1, v2)
Can be ordered pair or unordered pair
Definitions
A weight or cost can be associated with each edge - this is determined by the application
w is adjacent to v iff (v, w) \(\in\) E
path: sequence of vertices w1, w2, w3, …, wn such that (wi, wi+1) ∈ E for 1 ≤ i < n
length of a path: number of edges in the path
simple path: all vertices are distinct
cycle:
directed graph: path of length \(\geq\) 1 such that w1 = wn
undirected graph: same, except all edges are distinct
connected: there is a path from every vertex to every other vertex
loop: (v, v) \(\in\) E
complete graph: there is an edge between every pair of vertices
digraph
directed acyclic graph: no cycles; often called a “DAG”
strongly connected: there is a path from every vertex to every other vertex
weakly connected: the underlying undirected graph is connected
For Google Maps, an adjacency matrix would be infeasible - almost all zeros (sparse)
an adjacency list would work much better
an adjacency matrix would work for airline routes
detect cycle
dfs from every vertex and keep track of visited, if repeat then cycle
Topological Sort
Given a directed acyclic graph, construct an ordering of the vertices such that if there is a path from vi to vj, then vj appears after vi in the ordering
The result is a linear list of vertices
indegree of v: number of edges (u, v) – meaning the number of incoming edges
Algorithm
start with something of indegree 0
take it out, and take out the edges that start from it
keep doing this as we take out more and more edges
can have multiple possible topological sorts
Shortest Path
single-source - start somewhere, get shortest path to everywhere
unweighted shortest path - breadth first search
Weighted Shortest Path
We assume no negative weight edges
Djikstra’s algorithm: uses similar ideas as the unweighted case
Greedy algorithms: do what seems to be best at every decision point
Djikstra: v^2
Initialize each vertex’s distance as infinity
Start at a given vertex s
Update s’s distance to be 0
Repeat
Pick the next unknown vertex with the shortest distance to be the next v
If no more vertices are unknown, terminate loop
Mark v as known
For each edge from v to adjacent unknown vertices w
If the total distance to w is less than the current distance to w
Update w’s distance and the path to w
It picks the unvisited vertex with the lowest-distance, calculates the distance through it to each unvisited neighbor, and updates the neighbor’s distance if smaller. Mark visited (set to red) when done with neighbors.
Shortest path from a start node to a finish node
We can just run Djikstra until we get to the finish node
Have different kinds of nodes
Assume you are starting on a “side road”
Transition to a “main road”
Transition to a “highway”
Get as close as you can to your destination via the highway system
Transition to a “main road”, and get as close as you can to your destination
Transition to a “side road”, and go to your destination
Traveling Salesman
Given a number of cities and the costs of traveling from any city to any other city, what is the least-cost round-trip route that visits each city exactly once and then returns to the starting city?
Hamiltonian path: a path in a connected graph that visits each vertex exactly once
Hamiltonian cycle: a Hamiltonian path that ends where it started
The traveling salesperson problem is thus to find the least weight Hamiltonian path (cycle) in a connected, weighted graph
Minimum Spanning Tree
Want fully connected
Want to minimize number of links used
We won’t have cycles
Any solution is a tree
Slow algorithm: Construct a spanning tree:
Start with the graph
Remove an edge from each cycle
What remains has the same set of vertices but is a tree
Spanning Trees
Minimal-weight spanning tree: spanning tree with the minimal total weight
Generic Minimum Spanning Tree Algorithm
KnownVertices <- {}
while KnownVertices does not form a spanning tree, loop:
find edge (u,v) that is “safe” for KnownVertices
KnownVertices <- KnownVertices U {(u,v)}
end loop
Prim’s algorithm
Idea: Grow a tree by adding an edge to the “known” vertices from the “unknown” vertices. Pick the edge with the smallest weight.
Pick one node as the root,
Incrementally add edges that connect a “new” vertex to the tree.
Pick the edge (u,v) where:
u is in the tree, v is not, AND
where the edge weight is the smallest of all edges (where u is in the tree and v is not)
Running time: Same as Dijkstra’s: Θ(e log v)
Kruskal’s algorithm
Idea: Grow a forest out of edges that do not create a cycle. Pick an edge with the smallest weight.
When optimized, it has the same running time as Prim’s and Dijkstra’s: Θ(e log v)
unoptomized: v^2


Mostly related with logic specific to reading/writing pixels.
Includes ImageLine related classes, and rows filtering
Some classes like ImageLineInt should belong here, but we keep them in the main package for backward compatibility.


This is an island and not a port. It is long and narrow sandy island lying parallel to the coast about 100nm south of Beira. It is a National Park the main function of which is to protect the rare mammal, the dugong (similar species to the manatee), turtles, dolphins and the fragile eco-system.
Position 21°29'S, 035°26'E (northern tip of the island).You may be approached and asked to pay a Park fee of about US$48 (payable in cash in local currency, US$ or SA rand). You should be given a receipt.
You will not be asked to clear in to Mozambique.
Last updated January 2016.
The most useful anchorage is towards the northern end of the island off the west coast at approximately 21°38.9'S, 035°26.1'E.
The bottom is sand and excellent holding in about 8 to 10m.
See this Noonsite report on the anchorage and exit options.

Nib's gradient support is by far the largest feature it provides. Not only is the syntax extremely similar to what you would normally write, it's more forgiving, expands to vendor equivalents, and can even produce a PNG for older browsers with node-canvas.
body
background linear-gradient(top, white, black)
body {
background: -webkit-gradient(linear,
left top,
left bottom,
color-stop(0, #fff),
color-stop(1, #000));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fff 0%, #000 100%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff 0%, #000 100%);
background: linear-gradient(top, #fff 0%, #000 100%);
}
Any number of color stops may be provided:
body
background linear-gradient(bottom left, white, red, blue, black)
Units may be placed before, or after the color:
body
background linear-gradient(left, 80% red, #000)
background linear-gradient(top, #eee, 90% white, 10% black)
The position mixins absolute
, fixed
, and relative
provide a shorthand variant to what is otherwise three CSS properties. The syntax is as follows:
fixed|absolute|relative: top|bottom [n] left|right [n]
The following example will default to (0,0):
#back-to-top
fixed bottom right
#back-to-top {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
You may also specify the units:
#back-to-top
fixed bottom 10px right 5px
#back-to-top {
position: fixed;
bottom: 10px;
right: 5px;
}
Clearfixing causes containers to expand to contain floated contents. A simple example is shown here.
The clearfix mixin takes no arguments and expands to a form that provides extremely robust browser support.
.clearfix
clearfix()
.clearfix {
zoom: 1;
}
.clearfix:before,
.clearfix:after {
content: "";
display: table;
}
.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}
Nib's border-radius
supports both the regular syntax as well as augmenting it to make the value more expressive.
button
border-radius 1px 2px / 3px 4px
button
border-radius 5px
button
border-radius bottom 10px
button {
-webkit-border-radius: 1px 2px/3px 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 1px 2px/3px 4px;
border-radius: 1px 2px/3px 4px;
}
button {
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
button {
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 10px;
border-top-left-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
}
The image
mixin allows you to define a background-image
for both the normal image, and a doubled image for devices with a higher pixel ratio such as retina displays. This works by using a @media query to serve an "@2x" version of the file.
#logo
image '/images/branding/logo.main.png'
#logo
image '/images/branding/logo.main.png' 50px 100px
#logo {
background-image: url("/images/branding/logo.main.png");
}
@media all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) {
#logo {
background-image: url("/images/branding/logo.main@2x.png");
background-size: auto auto;
}
}
#logo {
background-image: url("/images/branding/logo.main.png");
}
@media all and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5) {
#logo {
background-image: url("/images/branding/logo.main@2x.png");
background-size: 50px 100px;
}
}
The overflow
property is augmented with a "ellipsis" value, expanding to what you see below.
button
overflow ellipsis
button {
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
Nib comes bundled with Eric Meyer's style reset support, you can choose to apply the global or any specifics that you wish. To view the definitions view reset.styl
This shorthand lets you create a border by just specifying a color, with defaults for width and style.
.foo
border red
.foo {
border: 1px solid red;
}
Creates a text outline using text-shadow.
.foo
shadow-stroke(red)
.foo {
text-shadow: -1px -1px 0 red, 1px -1px 0 red, -1px 1px 0 red, 1px 1px 0 red;
}
It looks like this!
This shorthand lets you set width and height in one go.
.foo
size 5em 10em
.foo {
width: 5em;
height: 10em;
}
These mixins expand vendor prefixes but do not modify the behavior of the property.
For example:
*
box-sizing border-box
* {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Here is the full list of properties for which Nib provides transparent mixins:

PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
Last fall, Dreamworks released a film with `buzz' barely detected by the entertainment industry's radar. Upon its release, American Beauty was extremely well-received by critics and, while some people couldn't quite grasp the idea of its widespread acclaim, it went on to cut a wide path through Hollywood as it took home four major Academy Awards.
Almost exactly one year later, the studio unleashes Almost Famous, and, while it remains to be seen if the public snuggles up to the film, it's already pulling in some of the best reviews of the year. Is Famous, which boasts no major stars and tells a highly personal story, going to be an Oscar contender? I'm not sure, but it does have a scene with a blonde girl and a rose, so you've got to like its chances.
Famous opens in 1969 San Diego, where single schoolteacher Elaine Miller (Frances McDormand, Wonder Boys) is struggling to raise her two children in a time when drugs and free love were guaranteed to anyone that wanted them. Her oldest, daughter Anita (Zooey Deschanel, Mumford) is a lost cause, fleeing the home and her mother's overprotection for San Francisco's happening scene. This, of course, focuses all of Elaine's well-meaning energy, as well as her restrictions on everything from sugar to rock music, on her youngest son, William (Michael Angarano).
A precocious eleven-year-old, William discovers his sister's abandoned record collection, and falls in love with the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Who and Bob Dylan. Flash to 1973, where William (newcomer Patrick Fugit) abandons notions of fitting in with his older classmates (he skipped a grade and started school a year early) and instead spends his time writing for his school newspaper, as well as an underground rock rag. Through his perseverance and his skills as a writer, Creem magazine editor Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Talented Mr. Ripley) tells William to give him a 1000 word article on the Black Sabbath show coming to San Diego.
William's inexperience and youthful looks keep him from getting to Sabbath, but he does manage to strike up a friendship with a group of fans that follow Sabbath's opening band, Stillwater. Adamant in her denial that her friends aren't groupies, Penny Lane (Kate Hudson, Gossip) becomes William's link to a subject he can both obtain access to and write about. His piece for Creem opens the door for a bigger and more lucrative offer from Rolling Stone magazine, but also entails missing school to follow the band on a portion of their `Almost Famous' bus tour of the country.
Trying to heed the words of both his mother (`don't do drugs') and his Creem mentor (`don't make friends with rock stars'), the wide-eyed William sets out to write an unbiased article about the band. His attempted detachment is constantly challenged by his close relationship with Stillwater guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup, Jesus' Son) and soon, William begins to act as an intermediary between Russell and his road girlfriend Penny. His article, if he's ever able to find the time to write it, could be a hypnotic tale of a band on the verge of stardom dealing with management changes, pyrotechnic problems and a quiet power struggle within the group. But he can never get any of the band members to sit down for a proper interview.
Famous was written and directed by Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire), who, as you may know, became an editor for Rolling Stone when he was just sixteen. The film is a semi-autobiographical tale of his years spent traveling with some of the country's top rock acts. Stillwater is a blend of Led Zeppelin and The Allman Brothers (among others), and the relationship between William and Russell is supposed to have been based on Crowe's personal interviews with Jackson Browne.
The ending of the film starts to get a little tedious, but it ultimately pays off. Crowe's fly-on-the-wall direction gives the film a bit of a documentary feel, but without the shaky, handheld camera work that we've seen in biopics like Private Parts. John Toll's (Braveheart) glowing cinematography and Nancy Wilson's (from Heart - she Crowe's wife) score add to the almost hypnotic pace of the film.
The unknown Fugit is perfectly cast as the ingenuous teen, and Crudup's rock swagger is mesmerizing (I still think he was channeling Kurt Cobain in Jesus' Son). It would be tough to imagine Famous with its original casting choices – Brad Pitt playing Russell and Sarah Polley tackling the role of Penny Lane.
Famous has one of the year's best opening sequences, where William handwrites the credits on a yellow legal pad with a pencil (making one hilarious mistake). His writing is broken up by shots of his bedroom, which is covered in rock posters. There are also several shots of a desk drawer full of concert ticket stubs and backstage passes, which Crowe provided from his own personal collection. The film's musical consultants were Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis and Peter Frampton, the latter of whom provides a cameo as well.

Your first example, the query would only happen once in production mode since validates_exclusion_of is a class method. It would however only have the widgets that existed the first time your category model was used.
That's interesting, Jamie.
I only looked at this in development mode, but sounds like you'd still want to use my workaround to keep the list of names current.

Executive Summary
Asurion is a leading provider of device insurance. The AVA product uses machine learning to interpret and resolve common user issues (filing claims, answering questions, checking coverage) through natural conversation. I joined the AVA team as a principal product designer and led the design for the user acquisition, design system, and optimization efforts.
Major Outcomes
We surpassed our OKRs a quarter early, increasing user acquisition from 3% of Asurion customers to 20%, and doubling the claims filed.
Anticipating lower FPY and higher bounce rate from the influx of users, myself and the team optimized the experience to maintain these metrics.
Other Results:
- Decreased design and development time for A/B tests to 1.5 weeks from 1.5 months
- Led the effort to create and maintain a design system and pattern library
Problem Space
Customer service and CRM are at the center of Asurion’s business. As a leading provider of device insurance, it has relatively low operational cost aside from the resources it dedicates to its customer service efforts.
The AVA product is a machine-learning, natural language processing chatbot meant to reduce Asurion’s operational cost, while also providing a better customer experience. The product performed well as an MVP, proving that it was capable of handling basic problems, such as filing claims, answering questions, and checking customer’s statuses in a conversational way.
However, AVA faced a variety of problems that prevented its growth. From a business perspective, AVA wasn’t attracting enough users to show that it could grow. Not only that, AVA’s conversational flows were non-optimal, causing large user dropoff in important features. Its visual and interaction design were both overly simplistic and inconsistent, which appeared untrustworthy or “unfinished” to its users.
To discover more about these problems, I conducted research with stakeholders, actual users, representative users, and team members.
User Acquisition
Quantitative and Qualitative Research
Low user acquisition was a known problem when I first joined the team.
Asurion customers can opt in to use AVA through a variety of ways, but most of AVA’s traffic came from the web. 100% of Asurion customers who view the website on a mobile device see the option to use AVA.
However, only 3% of these users opted to use AVA - an extremely low amount of traffic.
In order to identify the reasons why users weren’t opting in, I conducted user research with past users who had used AVA to understand the reasons why they picked it. In addition, I user tested the actual website and AVA product with users in representative demographics to understand how a user without context would act. Part of my research was also looking at quantitative data to see what were the most popular paths on both the entry website and AVA itself.
A quick analysis of quantitative data for both the web entry into AVA, and AVA itself, showed that starting a new claim and continuing an existing claim were overwhelmingly the most popular user choice.
Qualitative user research with past users also revealed why users were not choosing AVA. The AVA option was displayed as a tertiary button that said “Use Claims Assistant”. Users tended to ignore it because of its low visual hierarchy. The content was also too vague to tell the user any useful information. When asked what they could expect from the “Use Claims Assistant” button, user answers greatly varied from a real agent chat to a forum - with 90% of guesses being inaccurate.
Once users entered the app, reactions varied, independent of scenario. About half of the users were neutral or positive, and the other half were strongly negative towards the look and feel of the app. The simplistic design made the users feel like they had entered an insecure or third party website.
Design Ideation and Strategy
The quantitative and qualitative research pointed to three major problems that were preventing user acquisition from seeing any significant increase on the web.
Although all three problems were important, based on the research I had done, we viewed the first and second problem as being top priority. Once more users were entering the app, we would monitor AVA’s bounce rate for these new users to assess the third problem’s priority.
I ideated with the team on minimal ways we could validate these problem’s impact. Each idea did well in user testing, but there were unknowns about development. Another team owned the website which allowed users to enter AVA - we didn’t know their development capabilities, priorities, and relationship with us. Our team had never done an A/B test outside of AVA before, so we didn’t know how we might impact other important metrics by testing on the web.
There were many ideas which came out of ideation that I worked on. Based on user testing results, each design had anticipated advantages and disadvantages, as well as anticipated risks. With the additional development risk in mind, we decided on a step-by-step approach.
We would start with the most minimal of the designs, and direct 5% of web traffic to it. Once we were confident it wouldn’t severely or adversely affect an unanticipated metric, we would increase it to 25% and monitor performance.
Depending on each design’s performance, we would either progress to the next stage or reassess and pivot.
Development and Results
The quantitative and qualitative research pointed to three major problems that were preventing user acquisition from seeing any significant increase on the web.
Despite it’s simplistic design, Phase 1 took 45 days to design and develop, with development taking up more than 60% of the time. It’s low-risk design yielded its expected low reward result: an increase from 3% to 8% of users choosing AVA.
The long development time was a result of the lack of front-end developers on the web team who could develop the UI, implement the A/B test, and implement tracking. The web team developers explained that developing the UI was the lengthiest part of the process.
Based on Phase 1, we decided to implement Phase 2 in parallel with a different approach. Instead of handing off my design to the developers right away, I developed the UI myself. I would then pair with the web team’s developers (who acted as QA) to implement the A/B test on the web and monitor results.
Considering how aggressive Phase 2 was, we anticipated both higher user acquisition and higher risk. In comparison to Phase 1’s increase to 8%, Phase 2 acquired 20% of users on average. AVA’s bounce rate and FPY for Phase 1 and Phase 2 were maintained, but the entry website’s bounce rate was negatively affected, increasing by 5%. In our next steps, we plan to iterate on both Phases in order to maximize the positive results and minimize the negative.
Next Steps
The next steps in the user acquisition effort is to advance both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 strategies to find the right balance between user acquisition and other important metrics (such as FPY and bounce rate).
Iterating on both results can yield a better balance between all of these success metrics. Based on Phase 1.5 and Phase 2.5, the Phase 3 design can either iterate on the winner of these two ideas, or be something completely new.

Getting Started
Installation
npm
lit-htm is distributed on npm, in the lit-html package.
npm install lit-html
unpkg.com
lit-html is also loadable directly from the unpkg.com CDN:
import {html, render} from 'https://unpkg.com/lit-html?module';
Importing
lit-html is written in and distributed as standard JavaScript modules. Modules are increasingly supported in JavaScript environments and are shipping in Chrome, Opera and Safari, and soon will be in Firefox and Edge.
To use lit-html, import it via a path:
import {html, render} from './node_modules/lit-html/lit-html.js';
The path to use depends on where you've installed lit-html to. Browsers only support importing other modules by path, not by package name, so without other tools involved, you'll have to use paths.
If you use a tool that converts package names into paths, then you can import by path:
import {html, render} from 'lit-html';
Why is lit-html distributed as JavaScript modules, not as UMD/CJS/AMD?
Until modules arrived, browsers have not had a standard way to import code from code, and user-land module loaders or bundlers were required. Since there was no standard, competing formats multiplied. Often libraries will publish in a number of formats to support users of different tools, but this causes problems when a common library is depended on by many other intermediate libraries: If some of those intermediate libraries load format A, and others load format B, and yet others load format C, etc., then multiple copies are loaded cause bloat, performance slowdowns, and sometimes hard-to-find bugs.
The only true solution is to have one canonical version of a library that all other libraries import. Since modules support is rolling out to browsers now, and modules are very well supported by tools, it makes sense for that format to be modules.

Recently I tried MDMA for the first time and had a different experience than any of my friends described. I'm (probably) ADD though, so many drugs affect me in unusual ways. But the MDMA made me feel more clearheaded than any ADD medication I've ever tried. So I thought maybe extra serotonin was exactly what I needed.
I remembered that Wellbutrin both increases serotonin levels and can be used to treat ADD. So when I went to get my Adderall prescription renewed I asked if Wellbutrin and Adderall could be taken together. My doctor said that would be fine and wrote me a script for Wellbutrin, without really telling me anything about it at all. I was curious--I've never tried anything like this--so I got it filled (with the generic) and took one that very day.
The prescribed dose was one 150 mg pill in the morning and one 8 hours later, but not too close to bedtime or it would keep me up. I took the first one at 1:45 pm and quickly began to feel its effects. Sure enough, it felt just like rolling but milder, including the weird visual effects. I felt clearheaded in a way I've never experienced on stimulants, like my brain was suddenly capable of dealing with and sorting out many stimuli at once. Normally just looking at store shelves can be enough to overwhelm me and it will take me forever to find anything, but I felt like I could look at a complicated scene and take it all in. It also had another effect, making me feel like I was truly in the moment, like I didn't need to worry about the past or future. I'm not sure I want to feel like that everyday, but it was exciting at the time because it was much like tripping or rolling. It made me feel sleepy, so I took an adderall and had a very productive, very happy day.
About 5 hours later I realized that if I wanted to sleep that night I was going to have to go ahead and take my second dose. Plus I was kind of interested in what would happen. So I took a second pill. Within an hour I felt more like tripping than rolling. Colors were brighter, everything felt like a dream, and all my anxiety was gone. Time seemed to slow down, everything felt manageable. I checked the mirror and my pupils were huge. It probably should have concerned me that I was essentially tripping on anti-depressants, but it felt so good I didn't care. I wondered if I could go through every day feeling like that.
But, I couldn't sleep until 4-5 am.
The next day I had real trouble getting up, but decided to continue trying the bupropion -- according to the directions. I took one pill in the morning and felt really good. The lack of anxiety was almost scary, so I took some adderall to keep me on track. I still felt kind of like everything was just a dream, but it was basically a good feeling. That day I functioned like a real person, taking breaks from my work to socialize and feeling like I could actually focus on the conversation. It made my heartbeat flutter and my stomach hurt and gave me a headache but it still seemed worth it. I felt so fantastic and so optimistic.
Some of my friends were staying up all night to get work done, so I stayed up with them. I took more adderall but didn't take more bupropion until 8 the next morning. And I felt pretty good the next day -- incurably ADD, but that was probably from the sleep deprivation. It no longer made me feel like I was rolling, which I thought was kind of a shame but perhaps good because I could safely drive even if I stayed on the medication.
Two days later I was still not sleeping more than a couple hours a night, so I only took my morning dose. About ten hours after taking it I began to feel like I was tripping again, for no apparent reason. But, as the general sense of weirdness was not accompanied by hallucinations, I decided it was okay. Also, I finally slept.
I still don't know why both being on and coming off of bupropion could make me almost-trip and it's worth noting that I've never done acid so it couldn't have triggered something like that. But using the medication basically according to the directions has been basically fantastic.

Altaf asks Modi for asylum in India
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/397/the-newspaper-s-staff-reporter, The Newspaper's Staff ReporterKARACHI: London-based Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder Altaf Hussain has asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to grant political asylum to him and his associates.
He made the request during a speech aired on social media from his London abode earlier this month.
“If India and Prime Minister Modi allow me to come to India and provide me asylum with my colleagues, I am ready to come to India along with my colleagues because my grandfather is buried there ... my grandmother is buried there ... my thousands of relatives are buried in India. I want to go to their graves and want to pray,” he said in the video message broadcast on social media on Nov 9.
Mr Hussain, a British citizen who has been living in the United Kingdom for the past 27 years, is currently on bail in a case pertaining to incitement of violence. He was arrested twice in the UK, first in connection with a money laundering investigation and then in the present case.
His party, now called MQM-London, is facing a ban since Aug 22, 2016 when Mr Hussain made an incendiary speech. The MQM here, now known as MQM-Pakistan, parted ways with him after the controversial speech.
“[If granted asylum] I will not interfere in any politics, I promise,” assured Mr Hussain to the Indian government in his speech.

Before you get started with the script, there are a few things that are good to know regarding the script and some of its limitations.
The script traverses through the DOM of the page it is loaded on. It gathers information on all the elements there, which it then uses to build a representation of the page. In other words, it does not actually take a screenshot of the page, but builds a representation of it based on the properties it reads from the DOM.
As a result, it is only able to render correctly properties that it understands, meaning there are many CSS properties which do not work.
All the images that the script uses need to reside under the same origin for it to be able to read them without the assistance of a proxy.
Similarly, if you have other canvas
elements on the page, which have been tainted with cross-origin content, they will become dirty and no longer readable by html2canvas.
The script doesn't render plugin content such as Flash or Java applets. It doesn't render iframe
content either.
To run html2canvas on an element
with some options
simply call:
html2canvas(element, options);
The rendered canvas
is provided in the callback event onrendered
, as such:
html2canvas(element, { onrendered: function(canvas) { // canvas is the final rendered <canvas> element } });
The options variable is an object
which accepts the following parameters:
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| allowTaint | boolean | false | Whether to allow cross-origin images to taint the canvas |
| background | string | #fff | Canvas background color, if none is specified in DOM. Set undefined for transparent |
| height | number | null | Define the height of the canvas in pixels. If null, renders with full height of the window. |
| letterRendering | boolean | false | Whether to render each letter separately. Necessary if letter-spacing is used. |
| logging | boolean | false | Whether to log events in the console. |
| proxy | string | undefined | Url to the proxy which is to be used for loading cross-origin images. If left empty, cross-origin images won't be loaded. |
| taintTest | boolean | true | Whether to test each image if it taints the canvas before drawing them |
| timeout | number | 0 | Timeout for loading images, in milliseconds. Setting it to 0 will result in no timeout. |
| width | number | null | Define the width of the canvas in pixels. If null, renders with full width of the window. |
| useCORS | boolean | false | Whether to attempt to load cross-origin images as CORS served, before reverting back to proxy |

Landslide Susceptibility
Landslide Susceptibility Model
Overview
This case study has been chosen to demonstrate the concepts being highlighted by the bootcamp. We have chosen a landslide susceptibility analysis due to the diversity of inputs and a general curiousity into the methodology. The study area has been chosen in response to the Oso Mudslide1 which took place in Washington State on March 22nd, 2014. The methodology for this analysis is based off of work done by the California Geological Survey in Conjunction with the USGS2.
Project Definition
- Location: Washington State
- Bounding Coordinates: (-125.3424, 44.9408), (-115.8, 49.779)
- Resolution: 1 km
- Projection: Washington State Plane South (US ft) 3
- EPSG:2927
Data Collection
Data types: Landslides are discrete phenomena that should be represented using vector data, but are caused by a variety of continuous and discrete conditions so our inputs will include raster, and vector data sets.
| Input Layer | Data Source | |
|---|---|---|
| DEM | GTopo303 | |
| Geology | Washington Dept. of Natural Resources4 | |
| Landslide Inventory | Washington Dept. of Natural Resources4 | |
| Washington Boundary | Global Administrative Areas5 | |
| Daily Precipitation | Earth System Research Laboratory(NOAA)6 |
The DEM can be downloaded from ftp://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/data/gtopo30/global/w140n90.tar.gz
This tarball can be extracted using an archive extraction application like 7-zip.
(Note: if you are using 7-zip or winRAR to extract the file, you will have to extract the .gz first. Then extract the .tar file from within the extracted subdirectory.)
If you are using Mac or Linux you can extract the files in the terminal with the following command:
tar -zxvf w140m90.tar.gz
Data Wrangling
- Set project projection to EPSG:2927
Before starting any project in a GIS program, you should first set the project projection to make sure your data comes in with the same extent.
If you don’t set the project’s projection, the program will use the projection of the first layer added or EPSG:4326.
You can set the projection with the following steps:
- In the top navbar go Project > Project Properties
- Select CRS in the Left menu
- Check Enable On-the-fly CRS transformation
- Select NAD83(HARN)/Washington South(ftUS) EPSG:2927 from the List of Projections
- Add the US States shapefile
Since our project is directed at the state of Washington. We should extract the Washington state boundary for our study. The GADM6 project provides high-quality boundary data on country,state and county levels. We can use the US-state level dataset to get the Washington boundary.
- Select Add Vector Layer in the left toolbar
- Browse to the USA_adm1.shp layer from the iPlant Data Store
- Create a layer for the state of Washington
- In the top toolbar, select Select Single Feature
- Click on the state of Washington to select it
- Right click on the USA_adm1 layer and select Save Selection As…
- Format: ESRI Shapefile
- Save as: washington.shp
- Encoding: UTF-8
- CRS:
- Project CRS
- Browse > NAD83(HARN)/Washington South (ftUS) EPSG:2927
- Load the new washington layer
- Select Add Vector Layer
- Browse to the new washington layer and click Open
- Remove the USA_adm1 layer from the project
Now that we have the Washington layer, we can get rid of the U.S. layer.
- Right click the layer in the table of contents
- Select Remove
- Add the DEM layer from the iPlant data store
DEMs or Digital Elevation Models are very useful for establishing topological context in a map. DEMs generally come as a raster dataset that consists of elevation values. There are several different byproducts that can be created from DEMs.
This DEM was taken from the GTOPO30 satellite data.
- In the left toolbar, select Add Raster Layer
- Select source_files/W140N90.DEM
- Project the dem to EPSG:2927
- In the top menu, go to Raster > Projections > Warp (Reproject)
- Use the following options
- Input File: W140N90
- Output File: secondary_files/dem-project.tif
- Source SRS: EPSG:4326
- Resampling Method: Near
- No data values: 0
- Clip the dem to the shapefile
- In the top menu, select Raster > Extraction > Clipper
- In the window, set the following options:
- Input file: dem-project.tif
- Output file: dem-washington.tif
- No data value: 0
- Clipping Mode: Mask layer > washington
- Load into canvas when finished
- Remove the W140N90 layer
- Create a slope surface
In the top menu, select Raster > Analysis > DEM
- Input file: dem-washington
- Output file: slope-washington.tif
- Mode: Slope
- Scale: 0.30
- Load into canvas when finished
- Create a hillshade layer
In the top menu, select Raster > Analysis > DEM
- Input file: dem-washington
- Output file: hillshade-washington.tif
- Mode: Hillshade
- Z factor: 1.0
- Scale: 0.30
- Azimuth of light: 315.0
- Altitude of light: 45.0
- Load into canvas when finished
Data Analysis
i Reclassifying inputs:
Slope
| Category | Slope | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | < 3° | |
| 2 | 3-5° | |
| 3 | 5-10° | |
| 4 | 10-15° | |
| 5 | 15-20° | |
| 6 | 20-30° | |
| 7 | 30-40° | |
| 8 | > 40° |
In order to reclass our slope layer into something useful, we will use the grass r.reclass tool
The r.reclass tool reads text files which define the classification rules(rule files). For this example, our rule fill will have the following contents:
slope-rule.txt
0 thru 2.99 = 1
3 thru 4.99 = 2
5 thru 9.99 = 3
10 thru 14.99 = 4
15 thru 19.99 = 5
20 thru 29.99 = 6
30 thru 39.99 = 7
40 thru 90 = 8
Once we have created the slope rule file. We can select the r.reclass tool from the Processing Toolbox.
In the processing toolbox, select GRASS commands > Raster > r.reclass
We will use the following settings for the reclassify tool:
- Input Raster: slope-washington
- File containing reclass rules: slope-rules.txt
- Output raster layer: slope-reclass.tif (NOTE: select Save to file… or else QGIS will not create a permanent output)
Susceptibility
We will have to do some raster calculations to create the output data set. The classifications are taken from the California study2 and are as follows:
Since we need to cross reference these categories, we need to create a raster which represents each unique combination of the slope and rock strength classes. A method to create unique combinations is to promote the rock strength categories a decimal place. This would make the rock classes: 10,20, and 30.
To create these new classes, we can load the source_files/geo_coded.tif, and secondary_files/slope_reclass.tif
In the top menu, select Raster > Raster Calculator
Our raster calculator expression will be:
("geo_coded@1" * 10) + "slope-reclass@1"
Output layer: slope-geo-sect.tif
We can apply the landslide susceptibility classification using r.reclass and the following rule file:
landslide-rule.txt
11 12 13 21 31 = 0
14 = 3
22 23 = 5
15 = 6
16 32 33 = 7
17 18 24 = 8
25 thru 28 34 = 9
35 thru 38 = 10
Precipitation
Now that we have created the landslide susceptibility layer, we can make use the Average Annual Precipitation layer to check the susceptible areas against the areas receiving the most annual rain.
Convert millimeters to inches
Raster calculator: precip = precip * 0.0394
Check THIS STEP AGAINST REFERENCES
| Category | Precipitation | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | ||
| 1 | 5-10 in | |
| 2 | 10-15 in | |
| 3 | 15-30 in | |
| 4 | 30-45 in | |
| 5 | 45-60 in | |
| 6 | 60-75 in | |
| 7 | 75-90 in | |
| 8 | > 90 in |

Now that the output datasets have been created, we can work on making our results presentable.

9.4. Static "Convenience" FunctionsAs we saw in the "Regex Quickstart" beginning on page 413, you don't always have to create explicit Regex objects. The following static functions allow you to apply with regular expressions directly: Regex.IsMatch( target, pattern) Regex.IsMatch( target, pattern, options) Regex.Match( target, pattern) Regex.Match( target, pattern, options) Regex.Matches( target, pattern) Regex.Matches( target, pattern, options) Regex.Replace( target, pattern, replacement) Regex.Replace( target, pattern, replacement, options) Regex.Split( target, pattern) Regex.Split( target, pattern, options) Internally, these are just wrappers around the core Regex constructor and methods we've already seen.  (Well, they don't actually throw it awaymore on this in a bit.) Here's an example:
If Regex.IsMatch( Line, "^\s*$")
That's the same as Dim TemporaryRegex = New Regex("^\s*$") If TemporaryRegex.IsMatch(Line) or, more accurately, as:
If New Regex("^\s*$").IsMatch(Line)
The advantage of using these convenience functions is that they generally make simple tasks easier and less cumbersome. They allow an object-oriented package to appear to be a procedural one (☞95). The disadvantage is that the pattern must be reinspected each time. If the regex is used just once in the course of the whole program's execution, it doesn't matter from an efficiency standpoint whether a convenience function is used. But, if a regex is used multiple times (such as in a loop, or a commonly-called function), there's some overhead involved in preparing the regex each time (☞241). The goal of avoiding this usually expensive overhead is the primary reason you'd build a Regex object once, and then use it repeatedly later when actually checking text. However, as the next section shows, .NET offers a way to have the best of both worlds: procedural convenience with object-oriented efficiency. 9.4.1. Regex CachingHaving to always build and manage a separate Regex object for every little regex you'd like to use can be cumbersome and inconvenient, so it's wonderful that the .NET regex package provides its various static methods. One efficiency downside of the static methods, though, is that each invocation in theory creates a temporary Regex object for you, applies it, and then discards it. That can be a lot of redundant work when done many times for the same regex in a loop. To avoid that repeated work, the .NET Framework provides caching for the temporary objects created via the static methods. Caching in general is discussed in Chapter 6 (☞244), but in short, this means that if you use the same regex in a static method as you've used "recently," the static method reuses the previously-created regex object rather than building a new one from scratch. The default meaning of "recently" is that the most recent 15 regexes are cached. If you use more than 15 regexes in a loop, the benefits of the cache are lost because the 16th regex forces out the first, so that by the time you restart the loop and reapply, the first is no longer in the cache and must be regenerated. If the default size of 15 is too small for your needs, you can adjust it: Regex.CacheSize = 123 Should you ever want to disable all caching, you can set the value to zero. |

The series De Passage leaves us in the presence of suspended narratives and unresolved events that never quite coalesce into the city flux.

Have you seen this essay on churchofjesuschrist.org?
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics-essays/book-of-mormon-translation
The translation process was done by placing a rock in a white top hat? I always thought the translation process was done with the urim and thummin. It also looks like during translation the plates were not always in the room.
That can't be right can it?

| Over a 12-month period (April 1, 2013 – April 01, 2014): |
| The library website had 309,091 visits, 32% which originated on-campus. |
| Outside of the home page, our main visitor paths (called “users flow” in Google Analytics) consisted of directories that can only be accessed by IIT faculty, staff, and currently-enrolled students: |
| Site directory accessed | Description |
|---|---|
| /menu | Users are directed here after they have logged into to IIT’s portal system and selected the “library e-resources” link. |
| /login | Users are redirected to this login page when they try to access any content restricted to the IIT community (excluding alumni). |
| /databases | This is the main database page. The page itself is not restricted, but links to all subscription databases require user authentication through a proxy server and are only available to current students. |
| /blackboard | This page displays once a student has logged into Blackboard and clicked the “Library Resources” link. |

Wherein a Physicist talks about Time
Hoping that no one realizes that time has yet to be a proven thing.
date published
In asking us to talk about issues about the tech industry, you are somewhat asking us to paint ourselves into corners, because we've no first hand experience about it. It's like asking patients of doctors what's wrong with doctors. They see the service, but not the minimum of 10 years that goes into making the doctor. But! I will endeavor to put forth something reasonable.
What I'm thinking of is not a problem unique to tech, but it is particularly noticeable in it's hiring practices and design philosophies. It's been somewhat more formally enshrined that in other communities. I'm going to talk about context insensitive time myopia (CIMT). A term I just cobbled together because English is an open source language, deal with it.
Myopia is medical term associated with nearsightedness, typically pathological. Time myopia is a term I am associating with ignoring both the past and the future and giving overwhelming or exclusive attention to the present. Context insensitivity is when a given state is a constant, regardless of outside influences or objectives.
It's the context insensitivity in CIMT that makes it a problem. When you are cooking dinner, you need to be focusing on the present, are things on fire, what's going in the pot next, where's knife. All that stuff. But what about shortly before you go grocery shopping? Now you need to expand your time sense. The future is important, what do you want to eat? How often will you be cooking vs eating out? Does your schedule require simpler meals or do you have the option to embellish? CIMT prevents you from transitioning from planning phase to implementation phase.
Phrased that way it might be more obvious. When in implementation it's all about Now, agile development enshrines Now. Do the bare minimum that is defined in specs, don't think to the future of how this might be used or misused, don't think about what came before, just knuckle down and push it out the door.
Thinking in multiple time scales is hard though. And even the disciplines where it's required, the skill doesn't always percolate out from where it's necessary to merely useful. So I don't know how you can make people learn to think of the past as a valid source of information or the future as a place they will eventually have to survive.


Buhari, APC govs storm Jos for peer review
by James AbrahamJames Abraham. Jos
President Muhammadu Buhari will arive Jos, the Plateau state capital for a two-day meeting with all the governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress holding on Sunday and Monday.
Secretary to the Plateau State Government, Prof Danladi Atu, said this at a press conference in Jos on Friday.
Atu said other dignitaries expected at the meeting included the Senate President, Ahmed Lawal, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and at least 17 ministers
According to him, the meeting will provide an opportunity for the APC governors to share ideas on how to deepen governance in their respective states and provide dividends of democracy to the people .
He said, “The latest meeting of the APC governors coming up in Jos is the third in the series after the previous ones in Ekiti and Kebbi states. The essence is for the governors to share ideas and learn from each other how best to provide good governance to the people in line with the APC manifesto.
“And that is why Mr President has accepted to be part of the meeting. The Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives as well as about 17 ministers will also be in attendance among others.”
