This interactive essay is a general audience adaptation of our CHI 2015 paper. Three visualizations are embedded throughout the paper (and also available in the top nav bar). We are actively working to anonymize and release the editor dataset and visualization. Until we can, the editor visualizations (shown in green) are static images. You can find details that have been omitted from this essay in our paper: Barriers to the Localness of Volunteered Geographic Information. — Shilad Sen
Wikipedia helps us make sense of the world. In 277 languages from Ukrainian to Urdu, its 36 million articles deepen our understanding of the people, places and ideas that matter to us. While it can feel like a static resource, Wikipedia's articles are born and nurtured through a thoroughly human process. Behind the scenes, thousands of Wikipedians craft policy that guides decisions about whether an article reflects a neutral point of view, a source should be considered reliable, or a subject is notable enough to warrant an article. Not surprisingly, the views of individual Wikipedians often differ on these issues. Disagreements about policy and article information can lead to decisions that are debated, resolved, and re-debated again. As Yasseri et al (2014) says, "Wikipedia is more than just an encyclopaedia; it is also a window into convergent and divergent social-spatial priorities, interests and preferences."
Geographic differences underlie many differences in editor perspectives. Each editor lives in a particular place in the world, reads specific languages, and represents some national culture. These geographic differences translate to differences between language Wikipedias. For example, when compared to other languages, English Wikipedia has more unique articles about sororities and fraternities and meteorologists than any other category.
Wikipedians' geographic differences surface particularly strongly in articles about places such as cities, countries, and landmarks. Places that have weaker economies, lower literacy rates, or less broadband penetration have been shown to have substantially less content about them. The map of the world in black (right) visualizes these differences by showing the density of articles across the globe. Wikipedians also exhibit self focus bias (Hecht and Gergle, 2009); they tend to make local edits to articles about locations near them (Graham and Hogan 2014), and identify more relationships linking articles to places in their home countries (Hecht and Gergle, 2009). The map in light blue (right) visualizes these differences by showing how the world would look if countries were sized according to their importance in the Japanese Wikipedia.
Our research studies where information in Wikipedia comes from, a characteristic we call geoprovenance. We focus on the four million Wikipedia articles about places that, along with information such as TripAdvisor reviews and geotagged flickr images, constitutes the rising class of information renowned geographer Michael Goodchild calls volunteered geographic information (VGI). As some have argued (Kitchin and Dodge, 2011; Graham et al., 2013), VGI does not just represent the world, but also becomes part of the world. It forms layers of code and information that augment everyday activities: it shapes where we go, what we do, and how we perceive and understand the world that we live in. The study of geoprovenance, which we undertake here, helps us understand the perspectives, gaps, and inequalities in VGI repositories.
We study geoprovenance through two lenses. The first, editor geoprovenance, examines the relationship between the locations of Wikipedia editors and the geographic articles they edit. It asks, for example, “What countries do edits to articles about Iran comes from?” To analyze editor geoprovenance, we studied over five million edits to 39 different language Wikipedias. Each edit was geolocated using the editor's IP address and aggregated to preserve anonymity.
Our second lens, source geoprovenance, studies the citations added to Wikipedia articles. It considers the relationship between the location of geographic articles and the location of the source publishers cited in those articles. For example, it answers “What countries publish the sources cited in articles about Iran?” Every source cited in Wikipedia is produced by individuals, organisations and groups based in particular geographic regions. The source is selected by Wikipedia editors as a reliable source that supports informational claims in articles. Sources can therefore serve as an important signal about where (geographically) Wikipedia information comes from.
To analyze source geoprovenance, we inferred the home publisher of all 31 million URLs cited in 79 language editions of Wikipedia. Since no definitive data maps a URL to the country that published it, we needed to infer the publisher country. To illustrate our approach, consider consider the URL http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1293. This page, created by the global non-governmental organization Unesco, describes the Saudi Arabian archeological site"Madâin Sâlih." This URL is cited by Wikipedia articles about Madâin Sâlih in 20 different languages, ranging from English to Arabic to Catalan
How can we determine the country of the source publisher for this URL? While some domains end with clear a country code (".us", ".uk", ".hk", etc.), the ".org" suffix in "whc.unesco.org" provides no geographic clues. If we were to examine the webpage itself we would find that it is written in English, suggesting it may have been authored in an English-speaking country such as the U.S., India, or the U.K. Geocoding the web server IP address (as we did with editors) identifies the server hosting facility as France. While these approaches can be sufficient for some URLs, none of them provides a definitive answer in this case. To accurately predicted publisher country, we incorporated two more signals of of geoprovenance. The first extracted the country of the administrative contact listed in the "WhoIs" domain name registry, a sort of phone book for domain name administrators. The second created a list of twenty thousand known organization home pages (http://www.unesco.org) with their corresponding locations mined from the amazing Wikidata project.
A statistical combination of these signals proved to be surprisingly accurate predictors. Some signals (e.g. TLD suffixes such as ".uk") were nearly perfect in accuracy, but did not apply to the majority of URLs. Others (the language of a web page and WhoIs records) were less accurate, but nearly always available. When synthesized, the algorithm correctly predicted 91% of URLs, approaching the level of agreement between humans on our test data sets.
We believe this URL geoprovenance algorithm represents an important new tool for researchers. In addition to supporting analyses of the geographic diversity of viewpoints, it could be used to identify differences in how media from different countries discuss particular issues or it could track geographic flows in online media networks. You can see a simplified version of our geoprovenance inference algorithm in action using our onlineinteractive demo. We have also released reference software implementations of it on GitHub.
We value localness. In the food we eat, the arts we patronize, and the businesses we frequent, we seek locals who understand and support the geographic culture they inhabit. Researchers have also praised the transformative power of local contributions to VGI repositories, a shift that places “mapping where it should be, which is the hands of local people who know an area well.” Consistent with this promise, people do author information about places near them. Wikipedia editors tend to edit articles about places close to them [Hardy et al., 2012; Hecht and Gergle, 2010], a large proportion of Flickr photos are taken nearby photographers’ homes [Fischer, 2010], and Twitter users tend to tweet about locations near them [Cheng et al., 2010].
Many researchers see the shift in authorship from paid experts to volunteers — often described as public-participation geographic information science [Obermeyer, 1998] — as a way to increase local geographic information production, especially among disadvantaged populations. While prior research has established that people contribute more VGI near them, our study maps variations in localness. In particular, we study whether the contours of VGI localness adhere to or transcend the socio-economic barriers present in traditional media networks.
The right hand figures shows the percentage of local sources (blue) and editors (green) for articles about each country across all 79 language Wikipedias we study. For both sources and editors, the highest levels of localness are associated with countries that have large economies and “nation-states” responsible for a large share of worldwide speakers for their primary language (e.g. Sweden, the U.S., France, Germany, the Netherlands). Africa and the Middle East stand out as having particularly low localness. For example, many central African countries have less than 0.2% localness in both sources and editors (Chad, South Sudan, Central African Republic, the DRC). These countries in sub-Saharan Africa also have per-capita GDPs below $1000 U.S. per year, among the lowest in the world. We encourage you to explore the interactive source localness visualizations by clicking the images to the right (in blue).
To provide more detailed geographic insights, we next compared the localness of the Middle-East and North African (MENA) countries along two axes. The left column shows results for the Arabic Wikipedia while the right column represents the French Wikipedia. For example, Algeria’s dark color in the green left hand map indicates that in the Arabic Wikipedia, a large percentage of edits to articles about Algeria come from editors in Algeria (75%). Comparing the result to the other three maps, we can see that Algeria’s editor localness in the Arabic Wikipedia is substantially higher (75%) than its editor localness in the French Wikipedia (39%,
The comparison between the French and Arabic Wikipedias reveals how Wikipedia is embedded into a broader system of knowledge. The language that an editor is writing in — and the place that that language originates from — matters immensely to what information can be produced on Wikipedia. If there are few Arabic speakers in Greece, few people in Greece will create content about the country in the Arabic Wikipedia (e.g. none in our dataset). We can see the Arabic Wikipedia’s language barrier preventing local edits through much of Europe and central Africa. Similarly, local edits in the French Wikipedia are constrained to Europe and former French colonies such as Algeria and Morocco.
We performed a statistical analysis (see Table 3 in our paper), to quantify the effects we see in the maps above. Variation in source localness is largely explained by socio-economic indicators — particular the strength of a country's scholarly publishing network. For every doubling in the number of journals a country produces, the amount of local content it produces increases by 140%. For editor localness, language serves as an almost complete barrier to VGI contributions. Countries that natively speak the Wikipedia language edition (e.g. articles about Iraq for the Arabic Wikipedia) are more than five times more likely to have local content. Socio-economic barriers - in particular the number of households that have broadband access — also play an important role in editor localness.
Our results indicate that when we experience the world through VGI — either online or in augmented environments – our experience is shaped by many of the historical barriers and inequalities that existed before VGI.
The previous section studied the variation in localness. We now expanded to study patterns in both local and non-local contributions by studying the worldwide geographic network of sources and editors for articles about a particular country. For example, while the previous localness analysis answered How many of the sources cited in articles about India are published locally in India?, we now look at the broader question, "What is the geographic network of sources cited in articles about India?"
The broader geoprovenance analysis reflects many of our findings for localness. Both source geoprovenance and editor geoprovenance face socioeconomic and language barriers. As with localness, countries with a small scholarly publishing network produce substantially fewer sources, and countries with few native speakers of a particular Wikipedia language edition produce far fewer editors. When combined with localness, this statistical model explains the vast majority of the variance we see. However, we find an additional association between the number of migrants between two countries. For example, if there are many migrants from India to the Germany, the model predicts that articles about India will cite more German sources and engage more German editors. The origins of this finding is unclear; is it migrant communities making these edits, or is migrantation a proxy for cultural overlap along a variety of dimensions such as language, religion, and politics. More than one underlying factor are likely leading to the association between geoprovenance and migration, and more research is necessary to unpack these effects.
An example of the geoprovenance network is shown in the right hand figures. The figures show the global geoprovenance network for articles about India in the English and French Wikipedias. The source geoprovenance network (in blue) look similar between the English and French Wikipedias, and are dominated by sources in the U.S. and India. In the English Wikipedia, other economically strong English speaking countries (the U.K. and Australia) also contribute sources, while in the French Wikipedia, France contributes plays an important role. Once again, we see that editors (in green) are dramatically affected by language barriers. While in the English Wikipedia, most edits about India are local, nearly all the edits about India in the French Wikipedia come from France.
This research offers the first large-scale study of the forces shaping the localness of VGI. We find socioeconomic barriers to VGI that suggest it may not be the equalizing panacea that it has been portrayed as being. Instead, VGI appears to follow many of the same structural barriers to equality as traditional expert-curated systems, although research must determine whether the strength of these barriers in VGI is different. More broadly, our findings suggest that if a place faces serious socioeconomic obstacles, or if you read about a place in a language that is not spoken in that place, you are unlikely to be reading locally-produced VGI or even VGI that references local sources.

This simulation uses the Barnes-Hut method to simulate the gravitational forces acting on each object. This method groups bodys together to simplify calculations as the objects get farther away, making use of a Quad Tree in order to store the objects' relative positions. By using this algorithim I was able to move from a simulation with O(n2) complexity to one with O(n log n) complexity drastically decreasing computing cost.

This largely under-developed cay, has only about 50 residents.
The moorings are in a well-sheltered anchorage.
Farmers Cay Yacht Club announced in January 2016 that its nine moorings in the Harbour have been redone with all new stainless steel chain and line. Note however, the comment at the bottom of the page from a cruiser who rented one of these in May 2016 and found his mooring to be unreliable.
Also, the dock has been replanked and braced. The restaurant is open from 9 am to midnight.
Other moorings close to the Little Harbour are owned by other businesses on the Cay and it can be tricky to find out which one to pay as the mooring balls are poorly marked.
The tidal current is swift and the botton well scoured, so unless your draft allows anchoring in the sand to the east of the channel, it is best to use a mooring.
Last updated May 2016.

I’ve been listening to music for like 12 hours straight now using the latest Rhythmbox from CVS. I’m happy to say that it hasn’t crashed even ONCE during this time. The UI feels snappy, and everything Just Works (with the exception of it not playing a couple of my mp3s, but whatever). MAD PROPS TO WALTERS AND THE REST OF THE RHYTHMBOX TEAM!
So, what I’m trying to say is, if you gave up on Rhythmbox back in the day, give it another chance. Oh, here’s a screenshot.

Longest-probe bound for hashing
Open addressing is the hashing technique in which for inserting an element in the table firstly we search for the elements if it is already contained in it, the search returns either the element or the free space in the array to fill that element.
In uniform hashing technique sequence of elements to be search can be any of the m! permutation inthat is this technique gives the method of searching which search in the full list for the single element in the generalized way.
For the storage of n elements wherein a hash table of capacity m items it uses the open addressing technique.
a . In the process of insertion of an element by using uniform hashing technique if the element is not found in the table then it is inserted into the first slot which do not contain any element.
Ifis the load factor that is to search an element which is not found in the table then the total expected probes is maximum of.
Assuming that a variable chosenrepresents the probes which do not return the required variable then . We know that then. The probability of insertion of element in a hash table that uses uniform hashing requires not less than k probes so thus,
Hence
Thus for insertion of element in the hash table by using uniform hashing where the probability of storage is not more thanwhen it searches more than k times.
b . For insertion of element in the hash table by using uniform hashing where the probability of storage is not more thanwhen it searches more than k times that is
Here the probes required for the insertion of element in hash table is more than .
Thus, .
By using formulae of logarithm:
Thus
Hence the probability of storage for the insertion of element is for when it probes elements in the table.
c. The insertion of element in the table requires searches and represents the total number of searches necessary for the insertion of n elements.
Consider an event A for which the number of probes X are such that, and in event the number of probes, for . Then probability of events is as:
For n number of events according to the Bool’s inequality:
Then for the set A of n events,
Hence if the insertion of element in the table requires searches and if represents the total number of searches necessary for the insertion of n elements then:
d . The expected length of the probe sequence for k probes is given by the formulae:
Breaking the sequence into two parts one from and the other from then,
For the searching of element for which the number of probes less than then
and for the search when number of probes are greater thanthen
.
Thus,
Hence, the expected total lengthof the maximum length probe succession is.
a.
The probability to hash a key to a specific slot is. Then the probability to hash a particular set of k keys to a specific slot and remaining keys to other slots is .
Here, k keys can be selected from n keys, in number of ways.
Thus, the probability to hash a set of k keys to a particular slot is as follows:
b.
Assume a random variable, which denotes the number of keys hash to the slot. And assume that denotes an event that the number of keys hashed to slot i is equal to k(That is, ). In part (a), it is already proved that ,
Thus,
, where, M is the maximum numbers of keys in any slot after all the keys have been hashed.
Now, put the values in the above expression:
In other words,
(By Boole’s inequality)
Thus, .
c.
To show the given in equality, first consider the following inferences:
• The probability. Thus, also.
• It is already known that.
Thus,
• From the Stirling’s approximation, .
Consider the value of :
Therefore,
d.
If = 2, then is also 0. Therefore, assume.
From part (c), it is proved that for every k. Thus, it is also true for k = k0. That is, .
Now, it is enough to prove that or .
After taking logarithms on both sides, the condition is as follows:
Suppose .
• Now, it is required to prove the existence of a constant that is greater than 1 such that . It is noting that .
•
Thus, the value of n can be in the range and for each value of n in this range, a value for c can be determined so that 3 < cx.
Therefore, it is proved that
Now, it is remained to prove that .
For k=k0,
Here, To prove the given condition, choose a large value for c such that . Then for all .
Thus, ek/kk decreases as k increases.
Therefore, , where
e.
The M ‘s expectation will be calculated as
Now, put the values in the above expression, then user will obtain;
Then use the above results, the user obtained:
After putting the values, user will obtain the following:
Since it is given that
.
It is known that
and then,
Now, put the values in the above expression
Hence it is concluded that
After putting the values:
This implies:
Therefore, .
Quadratic probing
Quadratic probing or quadratic hashing is the hashing technique which reduces the collision in the table and it can be given by the following formulae,
Where is any hash function, are the constants and is bucket size, k is the key to be inserted.
To prove that the scheme of hashing problem is an instance of quadratic probing a numerical example is taken as consider and.
The numbers 29, 21, 13, 37 are the keys which we already inserted in the table for the schema now we will search for number 37 in the table below:
|
13 |
3 |
|
21 |
2 |
|
29 |
1 |
|
37 |
0 |
Firstly searching a number in the above table by using the scheme of searching by taking.
and
But at position 1 the value 29 is there so increase the value of i for next step
but at position2 the value 21 is there in the table so
at position0 the value is found hence the search complete.Now searching the same value by using general Quadratic probing formulae:
Assuming the valueand and put these in quadratic formula as:
searching for 37
at position1 the value 37 is not found so increase i by 1 that is .
at position 2 the key 37 is not found so.
at position 3 the key 37 is not found so.
at position 0 the key 37 is found.
Hence for constants and of “Quadratic probing” it shows the behavior same as the hashing scheme.
b. Proving that for searching any key k in the table by using the search scheme it searches each position of the table if the key is not present in the table.
In the worst case that is when the key is not present in the table we search for each and every element of the table to match each key of table with the element to search.
The given algorithm searches each and every bucket of the table if the given key is not present in the table
Example: Search for 4 in the above hash table.
but at position 0, the value 29 is there so
but at position1 the key 21 is there so for next iteration
at position 3, the key 13 is present.
at position 0 the value 37 is found.
So element 4 is not present and we terminate search. We have searched each position of table.
Hence in the worst case that is if key is not present in the table or present in the reverse order then the search scheme probes in each position of the table.
Hashing and authentication
In a class of hash functions H each hash function maps a universe U which has keys to the value set.
The set H is k-universal that is for each unchangeable successionof k keys that are distinct and for any hash function h chosen randomly from the set the successioncan be one from sequences which have length k with.a . If the hash family H is 2-universal then each of its hash functions contain two keys so for the keysin a hash function h, the sequencecan be any of sequence in the set.
Therefore, as the hash function h changes within the set of hash functions H, the count of collisionsis, and H is universal.
Hence if has set is 2-universal then this class H is universal class too.
b . The universe U is a class of n-tuples of the values that are taken from a sethere p is prime number. If an element, for any of n-tuple the hash function is represented as:
Proving that is universal set but this universal set is not 2-universal.
Assuming that a hash function h is selected from the hash family H with the key and b at random that is without any prior information. Then for the successionhash function will never be the sequence from the set
Hence H will not be a 2-universal class.
c . If the class of hash functions H is changed asfor the keysand the hash function:
Proving that H’ is 2-universal class.
For a 2-universal hash class it is must that for each key pairwhen in a hash function the values have equal probability to occur when hash function is selected at random from hash class H. For the changes in the hash function this is proved as:
If, we must have for some i. Assume without any loss in precision or generality. We define
and
.The equations for and are andIt is clear that and p is prime, so the solution for the equations of and will be unique for and b.
Consider that for the generation of all pairs of we must control over the and without any dependency. We have
So
The expressionis existing and it not repeating because and the value of p is prime. So can be made according to the need by selecting a according to condition. If we do so then we can also make according to our need by taking b as required.
This puts a unique value of offset to and, by ignoring the difference mod p as it is. So, for, there is a hash functionthat produces the values forby selecting the correct values of and b.
We know that there are choices possible forand b, and this is also true for, and each is produced by taking only a single value of and b. This is right for each selections of.
Hence, there are only functions which is used to produce the value pairsand allhave equal probability of being selected when is selected at random, so hash family H is 2-universal.
d . Assuming that Alice and Bob agreed on a hash function such that every hash function maps the set of keys U to the values in the sethere p is prime value.
After some time Alice has sent a message to Bob over internet with the certification that and Bob has got the message in the form offeels satisfied by seeing tag t.
An unauthenticated person fools Bob by replacing with. Then argue that the probability of receiving the messages withis, without any effect of number of opponent and computing power of internet.In the hash class for a set of keys, all the hash value sets are selected with same likeliness when the hash function h is selected at random. In this case H will be 2-universal so all p pairsin the hash class are equally probable.
Hence if the opponent knows hash class H, then seeingtells him almost everything about. Since for all the p cases the probability is equal and so the sum of this probability must be 1, for all have probability and the opponent can do nothing but to guess.

What to Submit
Submit your script(s) for the final task of this exercise. These script should be named [your surname]_e003_functions.[ext] and [your surname]_e003_main.[ext], where [ext] is the file extension. In case of Python, this would be .py, for Matlab it is .m, etc.
Functions from Modules¶
In exercises E001 and E002, you learnt the basics of programming. With the concepts introduced in E001 and E002, you are able to perform any calculation and solve virtually any mathematical problem. However, the code will become very messy very quickly if you only ever call on those primitive methods. In this exercise, you learn about writing and using your own functions. You may recall that we already used functions in exercise E001 when we calculated the sin, for example:
import math as mt
mt.sin(2.0)
Imagine having to manually code this calculation with loops and if statements - possible, but inefficient, since we need to carry out this type of calculation a lot. Instead, this function has been written and packaged in the math module, which you can then import to use the sin() function and other functions included in the module.
Cashier Function Example¶
While we touched on the concept of arguments in functions before, it is now time to look in more detail into functions. A function is a unit of code that performs a specific task based on so called input arguments, i.e. options and values you pass to the function when calling it, to calculate and return one value. A useful analogy for this is a cashier desk at a store.
The calculation of your total cost can be thought of as a function:
total = cashierFunction(productlist)
First, you pass a list of products, corresponding to input arguments, to the cashier. Internally, the cashier or their computer then looks up the prices for the passed products and sums these up. This step corresponds to the specific task/computation within a function. Finally, the function has the total and returns this one value as output back to you.
Let’s look at an implementation of this. Examine the code (and the comments) below.
# This pythong script contains a function to lookup product prices for passed products and a function sum these up to return the total.
#
# This is a dictionary of product prices. It is not part of any specific function below and can therefore be accessed from anywhere in the script.
productPriceDict = {'apples':1.50,'doggeFood':2.99,'myPhone18':99999.99,'freedomFromCapitalism':0.0}
#
# function looks up the prices of products
def lookupPrice(product):
price = productPriceDict[product] # loop up the price of a product based on the passed product name and the price dictionary
return price # return the price to the script/code block that called this function
#
# this function calculate the total based on passed product list
def calculateTotal(productList):
total = 0.0 # explicitly set the total to zero before summing up prices
for i in range ( len(productList) ): # loop through the list of products
total = total + lookupPrice(productList[i]) # update the total by looking up the price of the product and adding it to the total
return total # return the total to the script/code block that called this function
You start defining a function with the def statement. Note that in Python, just as is the case for loops and if statements, you do not need to explicitly declare an end to the function. Instead, the indented block of code following the def statement is interpreted as code belonging to the function. You may have noticed that we have 2 functions in here:
1: lookupPrice() - this one looks up and returns the price of a product based on the product name that is passed to the function as an argument.
2: calculateTotal() - this one calculates the total based on the list of product names that is passed to the function. This function uses the lookupPrice() function above.
Now let’s have a look how you would use this. Copy the code above into your code editor and save it as cashier.py. In your console, create a list of products. These must be in the product dictionary. (Feel free to expand this). One example could be:
products = ['apples', 'apples', 'doggeFood']
This is the list of products that serves as input for our function to calculate the total. Just as you did for the math module, import your cashier.py script to access the functions within it. Then, call the function to calculate the total, pass your product list to the function as an argument, save the returned value of the function in the totalToPay variable and display it with the print function:
import cashier
totalToPay = cashier.calculateTotal(products)
print(totalToPay)
Feel free to paly around with the product list, price dictionary and other code to get a better grasp of what is happening here. Not every function has to return a value. You can also use functions as procedures that return no value. For example, if you know that you always want your total to simply be displayed and not used in further calculations, you may modify the calculateTotal function by removing the return statement and instead add a line of code to print the total. Append this modified function to your cashier.py file.
def calculatePrintTotal(productList):
total = 0.0 # explicitly set the total to zero before summing up prices
for i in range ( len(productList) ): # loop through the list of products
total = total + lookupPrice(productList[i]) # update the total by looking up the price of the product and adding it to the total
print(total) # display total
Note that we have given the function a different name. Save the file, create a new product list and call the new function:
import cashier
products = ['apples', 'apples', 'doggeFood']
cashier.calculatePrintTotal(products)
The total was again displayed, because it was printed in the function instead of outside the function. If you attemped to now get the total from the new function and print it by typing:
totalToPay = cashier.calculateTotal(products)
print(totalToPay)
You will get a None. This is because in our new function, we do not return a value. Therefore, no value will be passed to the variable total.
Unit Converter Module¶
Let’s bring this back to atmospheric science and implement a module for unit conversion. This module will consist of several functions and will save you a lot of time and code lines in your main programme.
# This is a module consisting of several function to convert units. This will also demonstrate the concept of nested functions.
# convert()
# ---------
# This is main function called by external script. It takes 3 input arguments:
# 1. value - the value (floating point number) you wish to convert
# 2. currentUnit - the unit the value you passed
# 3. targetUnit - the unit you want your output value to be in
#
# It will call the appropriate converter based on the input arguments and
# return the convertedValue.
def convert(value, currentUnit, targetUnit):
# k2c()
# ---------
# This function converts Kelvin to Celsius.
# Input (argument): value in Kelvin
# Output (returned): value in Celsius
def k2c(value):
return value-273.15
# c2k()
# ---------
# This function converts Celsius to Kelvin.
# Input (argument): value in Celsius
# Output (returned): value in Kelvin
def c2k(value):
return value+273.15
# Here we determine which of the converted functions will be called
if currentUnit == 'K' and targetUnit == 'C':
convertedValue = k2c(value)
elif currentUnit == 'C' and targetUnit == 'K':
convertedValue = c2k(value)
else:
print("Invalid arguments")
# return the converted value
return convertedValue
Note that this module consists of several function, and the actual converters k2c and c2k are functions nested in the main convert function. This means they only exist within the convert function. Save this block of code as unitConverter.py and use it via the console as we used the cashier function above.
import unitConverter # import the unit converter
print(unitConverter.convert(10.3,'K','C')) # convert 10.3 from degrees Kelvin to degrees Celsius
Now it’s time to flesh out the module a little. Add additional functions for conversion, e.g. converting mm/d to mm/a and vice vera, come up with new, necessary input arguments and make sure that the convert() function selects the appropriate converter.
Your Task¶
Rememer last week’s assignment? You wrote code that is able to calculate the mean grade based on a list of grades g. Wouldn’t it be great if all you had to do was to pass the list of grades to a function and it would return the mean to you? Restructure last weeks code and put your different methods for calculating the mean grade into a python file as functions. When implementing your mean functions:
write one function for each way to calculate the mean grade
think about the necessary input arguments and the decision process to call one of the two (or more) mean functions
Additionally, write a script that defines a list of grades, imports your functions as a module and uses your implemented functions to calculate the mean grade. Make sure your code works!
When you are happy with your code, name your files [your surname]_e003_functions.[ext] (for the scripts containing your functions) and [your surname]_e003_main.[ext] for your script calling the functions, zip them and submit them via ILIAS.

'I was trying to melt a plastic bag' says man who burned down his ex's shed
Brian Brooks, aged 51, denies that he meant to put the sleeping woman at risk
by Stuart AbelA man who started a fire in a shed next to the home of his sleeping ex-partner has denied he meant to put her at any risk.
Brian Brooks, aged 51, told a jury he only intended to melt a plastic bag on top of her tumble drier.
But a court has heard that the fire spread after he ran away from the house in Plymstock.
The woman said she ran in a panic to a neighbour’s house at about 10pm at night.
Brooks is on trial at Plymouth Crown Court after he denied arson reckless as to whether life was endangered on April 5 this year. He has admitted arson.
Brooks, of Quarry Park Road in Plymstock, has also denied leaving her in fear with unwanted calls and social media messages between February and April.
Asked what he wanted when he started the fire, Brooks said: “I wanted the bag to melt and leave a puddle of plastic on top of the tumble drier and that’s it.”
His barrister Ali Rafati asked: “Did you foresee any risk to life when you started the fire?”
Brooks replied that he did not.
Mr Rafati asked whether he knew she was asleep in the lounge at the time.
He admitted peering through her window but added: “I did not see anyone in there.”
The court heard that the couple had been together for about 14 months and lived together at her house in Jenkins Close for six.
The woman said they split on February 9 and claimed Brooks messaged her and phoned her despite saying she wanted no contact.
She added she was “terrified” and worried what he would do next.
The ex-partner told the jury: “I was really concerned for my safety and I did not know where this would lead.”
The woman said she was dozing in front of the television in her lounge when the set went off. She awoke to find all the power had gone off.
She added: “I heard a huge bang and I looked out of the window to see a huge ball of flame.”
The trial continues.

The Pokemon Movie
Capsule review: Big build-up at the beginning to a big snore at the end. I give it a probably overly generous two stars, only because I so recently suffered through Elmo in Grouchland to which Pokemon seems like Shakespear in comparison.
Ok, so like every other kid under eleven, my daughter absolutely had to see Pokemon The First Movie as soon as it came out. And so, armed with our popcorn and tooth-decaying drinks, we sit in the third row and stare up at 20 foot high animated toys. Heigh-ho.
The movie is divided up into two segments, a short called something like "Pikachu's Vacation", and the main attraction Mewtwo Strikes Back.
The less said about Pikachu's Vacation, the better. Most of the pokemon don't speak, you understand, except to say their own names with various inflection. I suppose this is so you can tell the 200-odd creatures apart. I recognized maybe four of them, which shows how woefully short I am on Pokemon lore.
A long dreary time later, the real movie starts.
The first ten minutes of Mewtwo Strikes Back, before the beginning credits, are actually fairly engrossing. The origin of Mewtwo is interesting, the voice talents are very well done, and the animation is first rate.
Then, after the credits, we degenerate into rather mundane tv-quality animation and a very plodding plot. The action picks up as the Pokemon trainers attempt to get to an island arena through a heavy storm, but things get uninteresting again soon after. We learn that the villain of the piece is Mewtwo (big surprise) and the plot slowly builds up to the inevitable confrontation between Mewtwo and his Pokemon against the Pokemon of the trainers. Somewhere along the line a Mew pokemon joins the good guys.
If you saw the commercials you know all of this. The trailer of the film covers the entire plot up to the square-off for the climactic battle. You sat through an hour of plodding, uneven plot and mediocre animation to get to this point. So what happens? What's the final pay-off?
What happens is that the film falls on it's flabby animated butt. No battle of any consequence occurs. Instead, all the pokemon are rendered powerless through Nonsensical Plot Device and must resort to bitch-slapping each other until through exhaustion they can no longer move their various appendages. Then the trainers suddenly decide that Fighting Is Bad and everyone kisses and makes up.
There's not much else to say, except that I could not figure out the purpose of Jesse and James of "Team Rocket". Perhaps there is some other Pokemon movie that explains their existence and motives. They didn't seem to serve any purpose or have any goals. They just stumbled about opening doors, sitting on things and getting frightened.
Pokemon rates a very generous two stars for the very nice Origin of Mewtwo sequence. I'm tempted to subtract a star for that nonsensical ending, but I hesitate only because of a nagging doubt that this was the real, unedited ending as it came from Japan. I have to wonder if the flatness was specifically designed to appeal to what they imagine that American children want to see. If so, I'd be insulted.

Labour pledges to ‘wage war’ on poverty - but Tories say hardship claims are 'peddling lies'
Labour has accused the Tories of dragging large swathes of the UK’s population into poverty after almost a decade at the helm.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell has vowed a Labour administration will “wage war” on poverty if it takes power after the December 12 election, with policies designed to eradicate low pay and food bank use.
A report due to be published by the party on Wednesday is set to outline how the Conservatives have failed to tackle poverty and hardship in society.
The Tories responded by accusing Labour of “peddling lies and misleading statistics for political gain”.
- Conservatives pledge to scrap benefits freeze in 2020 as General Election looms
- Nearly half a million food bank parcels given out in 18 months, figures show
The report, Poverty Britain, will set out the 10 ways in which poverty has risen and living standards have fallen since 2010.
According to the analysis, food banks have given out 65 million meals in the past five years – enough for one per person in the UK.
Labour has committed to halving the number of food bank handouts needed within a year of gaining office.
Meanwhile, under the Tories wages have stagnated – costing the average worker more than £6,000 in the past nine years – and the number of children growing up in relative policy has increased by half a million, according to the party’s findings.
A United Nations report on UK poverty levels, published in March, predicted overall child poverty rates could reach 40% by 2021 under the current level of decline.
“For almost one in every two children to be poor in 21st century Britain would not just be a disgrace but a social calamity and an economic disaster rolled into one,” said Professor Philip Alston’s UN report.
The number of adults with no savings has increased from 17 million to 20 million, while in-work poverty has risen by 1.5 million people, Labour said.
Mr McDonnell said: “Poverty in Britain is now the most visible and widespread it has been in decades.
“This new report shows the Tories have failed to tackle 10 modern scourges of poverty, each becoming more entrenched on their watch.
“The next Labour Government will wage war on poverty in all its forms, eliminating in-work poverty, ending austerity and raising living standards across the country.”
As well as looking to end food bank use, Labour has vowed to eliminate in-work poverty over the course of a five-year Parliament if Jeremy Corbyn is elected prime minister.
His administration would put the minimum wage up to £10 for those aged 16 and over, while scrapping Universal Credit, along with the benefit cap and the two-child limit for welfare payments.
Labour said it would clamp down on problem debt by capping credit card and overdraft repayments so borrowers never repay more in interest than they originally borrowed.
It has already revealed plans to expand free childcare for those aged two to four and provide universal free school meals for all primary pupils.
Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey hit back, saying: “Corbyn’s Labour are repeatedly peddling lies and misleading statistics for political gain. This is yet another example in a long list.
“People are better off in work under this Government and average wages have outpaced inflation for the last 20 months in a row.
“Our National Living Wage is giving a pay rise for millions of the lowest earners. We have record employment, with 3.7 million jobs created by the Conservatives.
“In stark contrast, every Labour Government has left office with higher unemployment than when they came in.”
She added: “Corbyn cannot be trusted and the Conservatives will continue to call out Labour lies."

--- layout: page title: Bio subtitle: PhD in geoinformatics, HCI/UX Researcher use-site-title: true ---
Senior HCI Researcher at the Instituto Tecnológico de Informática (ITI). Currently investigating how Mixed Reality experiences could benefit mental health practitioners and patients. Additionally, designing tools and processes to integrate Mixed Reality tools into industrial contexts.
Former postdoctoral researcher in the Situated Computing and Interaction Lab of the University of Münster (WWU). During my postdoc, I investigated how technology could support remote and colocated creative processes in urban planning and architectural design. I designed and implemented GECCO, a prototypical tool to enable remote hand gesture communication across distances.
Former Early Stage Researcher in the DComm Project, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network. DComm was an interdisciplinary project which aimed to make significant progress in understanding deictic communication. In the DCOMM project, my research revolved around the topics of Natural Interaction, Remote Communication and Collaboration. For which, following a User-Centered design approach, I applied emergent technologies such as Augmented Reality and Electrical Muscle Stimulation to develop new methods for supporting human users to communicate effectively.


[VISUALIZATION] Exploring climate seasonality across space and time.
We’ve all seen plenty of maps and graphs that show how temperature or precipitation varies across space, or across seasons, or across decades of climate change. In this visualization I took a stab at bringing all those pieces together in one chart. (My philosophy: no such thing as TMI.) Click here for a zoomable pdf.
The tiles in this graphic show the seasonal climate cycles of 48 US cities, arranged in a loosely geographic array. Each city’s loop depecicts the daily climate progression around the calendar year, with temperature on the x axis and precipitation on the y axis. Color indicates the time of year. Recent climate change can be seen by comparing the bright path in the foreground (average daily climate from 2000–2015) to the dim path in the background (1980–1999); the lines spanning the two circuits show climate change for each of the 365 unique days of the year. The chart summarizes 1.6 million historic daily temperature and precipitation values from DAYMET. Thanks to DAYMET’s API and the beautiful versatility of ggplot2, I was able to script the entire pipeline from data acquisition through final pdf assembly.
Some pretty interesting patterns jump out from this perspective. Most obivously, seasonal relationships between temperature and precipitation are super different across the US. The west coast has tight negative correlations between seasonal temperature and precipitation, i.e. wet winters and dry summers; southeastern coastal climate is precisely the opposite, with dry winters and wet summers. In other locations where climate doesn’t fall along a straight line, seasonal patterns are more complex. Places like Indianapolis with open circles have different climates in spring versus fall. Smiley or frowny graphs are places two distinct precipitation peaks during the year (e.g. during summer and winter in Flagstaff, or spring and fall in Dallas). A single color spread over a large stretch of the circuit represents a rapid seasonal shift—check out the abrupt onset of the monsoon rains in the Southwest.
Longer term climate trends emerge with a bit more study. Horizontal shifts show changing temperatures, while vertical shifts show changing precipitation. All that downward blue and purple movement on the west coast: the recent drought. The rightward creep of many seasons in many locations, with hardly any leftward motion: anthropogenic climate change getting off the starting blocks. Lots more vertical than horizontal movement overall: a sign of the large year-to-year variability in precipitation relative to temperature.

My name is Ronald Morgan and I currently live in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio. I have a passion for technology, particularly the desire to learn programming. I started to learn to code on my own a few years ago and immediately enjoyed every aspect of it! Before taking the leap into tech, I taught English in Brazil, was a mortgage consultant in New York and an environmental surveyor in Baltimore. I recently enrolled in Flatiron School's Web Developer Program to be a part of great community with those that share my passion for tech while increasing my development knowledge and skill set.

The allocation mechanisms within APR have a number of debugging modes that can be used to assist in finding memory problems. This document describes the modes available and gives instructions on activating them.
free()
d memory and other such
nonsense.The theory is simple. The FILL_BYTE
(0xa5
)
is written over all malloc
'd memory as we receive it, and
is written over everything that we free up during a
clear_pool
. We check that blocks on the free list always
have the FILL_BYTE
in them, and we check during
palloc()
that the bytes still have FILL_BYTE
in them. If you ever see garbage URLs or whatnot containing lots
of 0xa5
s then you know something used data that's been
freed or uninitialized.
malloc()
and free()
d appropriately at the
end.This is intended to be used with something like Electric
Fence or Purify to help detect memory problems. Note that if
you're using efence then you should also add in ALLOC_DEBUG
.
But don't add in ALLOC_DEBUG
if you're using Purify because
ALLOC_DEBUG
would hide all the uninitialized read errors
that Purify can diagnose.
In particular, it causes the table_{set,add,merge}n
routines to check that their arguments are safe for the
apr_table_t
they're being placed in. It currently only works
with the unix multiprocess model, but could be extended to others.
This requires a recent gcc which supports
__builtin_return_address()
. The error_log output will be a
message such as:
table_push: apr_table_t created by 0x804d874 hit limit of 10
Use l *0x804d874
to find the
source that corresponds to. It indicates that a apr_table_t
allocated by a call at that address has possibly too small an
initial apr_table_t
size guess.
This requires a bit of an understanding of how alloc.c
works.
Not all the options outlined above can be activated at the same time. the following table gives more information.
| ALLOC DEBUG | ALLOC USE MALLOC | POOL DEBUG | MAKE TABLE PROFILE | ALLOC STATS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALLOC DEBUG | - | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| ALLOC USE MALLOC | No | - | No | No | No |
| POOL DEBUG | Yes | No | - | Yes | Yes |
| MAKE TABLE PROFILE | Yes | No | Yes | - | Yes |
| ALLOC STATS | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | - |
Additionally the debugging options are not suitable for multi-threaded versions of the server. When trying to debug with these options the server should be started in single process mode.
The various options for debugging memory are now enabled in
the apr_general.h
header file in APR. The various options are
enabled by uncommenting the define for the option you wish to
use. The section of the code currently looks like this
(contained in srclib/apr/include/apr_pools.h)
/*
#define ALLOC_DEBUG
#define POOL_DEBUG
#define ALLOC_USE_MALLOC
#define MAKE_TABLE_PROFILE
#define ALLOC_STATS
*/
typedef struct ap_pool_t {
union block_hdr *first;
union block_hdr *last;
struct cleanup *cleanups;
struct process_chain *subprocesses;
struct ap_pool_t *sub_pools;
struct ap_pool_t *sub_next;
struct ap_pool_t *sub_prev;
struct ap_pool_t *parent;
char *free_first_avail;
#ifdef ALLOC_USE_MALLOC
void *allocation_list;
#endif
#ifdef POOL_DEBUG
struct ap_pool_t *joined;
#endif
int (*apr_abort)(int retcode);
struct datastruct *prog_data;
} ap_pool_t;
To enable allocation debugging simply move the #define
ALLOC_DEBUG
above the start of the comments block and rebuild
the server.
In order to use the various options the server must be rebuilt after editing the header file.

Watford. Sunderland. Southampton. Aston Villa. West Bromwich Albion. Birmingham City. Blackpool. Crystal Palace. Leicester City. Derby County Stoke City.
That’s quite a list of football clubs, though it wouldn’t take the avid football fan all too long to work who exactly the above CV belongs to.
A Premier League Player of the Year award, a Carling Cup triumph and a Championship title to go with his eight England caps, Kevin Phillips had achieved quite a decorated career by the time he hung his boots up at Leicester City in 2014 and moved into coaching.
Remembered nationally for his spell at Sunderland and his partnership with Niall Quinn, striker Phillips spent a sizeable portion of his playing days in the West Midlands.

Former West Brom head coach Tony Pulis reportedly turned down the chance to return to management with Cardiff City - because the Welshman is holding out for a job in the Premier League.
Pulis left Albion in November 2017 after a run of three wins in 24 league matches spanning two separate campaigns, and has since had an 18-month stint in charge of Middlesbrough which involved two failed attempts at winning promotion from the Championship.
Linked with the Cardiff vacancy recently, after the departure of fellow managerial stalwart Neil Warnock, the Sun claims that Pulis rejected the chance at jumping back into Championship life with the Bluebirds, because he fancies his chances at landing a top flight gig in the near future.
Former Millwall manager Neil Harris was eventually appointed as Warnock’s successor and was unveiled to the press on Monday.
Dominant force
West Brom dominate matches more than all but two other teams in the Championship, analysis of passing stats has revealed.
Slaven Bilic’s side have made 135 passes in their opponents’ third of the pitch in the league this season according to data from the CIES Football Observatory.
Their opponents, meanwhile, have only had 90 passes in the Baggies’ third.
That means West Brom have made 1.50 passes in the opposing team’s third of the pitch for every one pass of theirs.
That’s the third highest ratio of any team in the Championship.
One or the other
The Championship title race is already a two-horse race between West Brom and Leeds United.
That’s according to former footballer and radio pundit Alan Brazil, who deems the two sides in England’s second tier to be too strong for all else in the division.
The two sides sit first and third respectively after 16 matches, either side of Preston North End, though Albion have a two-point cushion over the pair directly below them.
Irrespective of North End’s exploits so far this term, ex-Scotland international Brazil says it’ll be the Baggies and the Whites at the top of the league come May.
Klich claim
Mateusz Klich reckons West Brom are ‘the best team’ in the Championship as the season prepares to resume.
Leeds United midfielder Klich has, though, reiterated how unpredictable the division is with only five points separating the top six currently.
Top of the league Albion have proven to be the most consistent outfit after the first third of the campaign, losing just one of their 16 matches to date - that, of course, was against Leeds.
Polish international Klich says Albion are the best yet, but has reasoned that with such a start comes the pressure to maintain that form.

Albion consider offer
West Bromwich Albion are considering signing midfielder Chris Willock on a permanent deal.
The 21-year-old is currently spending the season on loan with the Baggies from Portuguese outfit Benfica. The loan agreement with Benfica includes an option for the deal to be made permanent for a “reasonable fee”.
The report adds that Albion will continue to assess Willock before making a decision on whether or not to activate the option of making the deal permanent.
Willock, who play in the attacking midfielder role or operate as a winger, is yet to make a first-team appearance since his move from Portugal.


AMD's Robert Hallock LIVE On 2.5 Geeks 11/14 Talking Ryzen 9 3950X, 3rd Gen Threadripper
by Brandon HillThe next episode of HotHardware's 2.5 Geeks is coming up Thursday, November 14th at 5:30 PM ET, and we'll have a special guest on the line: AMD's Robert Hallock. Robert is a Senior Technical Marketing Manager at AMD, responsible for AMD's CPU and APU product lines, so he's is the perfect person to give us some inside details on the company's latest many-core Zen 2-based CPU products.
We'll try to pick Robert's brain on both the new Ryzen 9 3950X flagship enthusiast processor along with the new 24-core Threadripper 3960X and 32-core Threadripper 3970X. Maybe we might be able to get a hint of what else is in store for the Threadripper family... perhaps the rumored 64-core/128-thread Threadripper 3990X.
Be sure to tune in Thursday at 5:30pm ET, where we'll also be fielding questions from YOU to pose to Robert during the show. You can join us here on this page, or on our YouTube channel here.


Farage fails to name a single thing he has done to help environment
Nigel Farage has failed to name a single thing he has done to help the climate crisis.
The Brexit Party leader was pressured to come up with examples of changes he has made to his personal behaviour and could only admit that he is not a ‘leading example’ on environmental issues.
Mr Farage called for more green action and a massive increase in tree planting, in the second part of ITV’s General Election debate coverage this evening.
But he conceded that he still drove and flew, which meant he could not claim to have made changes to his own life to help the environment.
He explained: ‘I drive all over the country, I catch a lot of aeroplane flights, I am not a leading example.
‘But I think the UK should start a global initiative on planting trees on a massive scale.’

Earlier today, Mr Farage called for a net migration cap of 50,000.
He also said if he had to pick one political leader to go on I’m A Celeb with, it would be Boris Johnson – so that he could ‘share a bottle of something’ with the Prime Minister and find out what he ‘really believes’.
The leaders of the Liberal Democrats, Scottish National Party and Greens also appeared, following the debate between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn.

The project is a comparative study of the effectiveness between position specific multi touch interface and a standard menu based interface in small screen touch devices. In existing mobile devices menu bars are hidden by default to maximise screen space and thus, when a user needs to perform an action they need to invoke the menu bar which is not only time consuming but disrupts user focus.
In this research an additional degree of freedom is provided using multi touch inputs relative to each finger. This will reduce the dependency on menu bars and users can carry out their work uninterrupted without the need to invoke and access menu bars.
As a part of the project participants will be asked to perform a series of tasks where they will be responding to onscreen stimuli and selecting options using both the position specific touch interface and a standard menu based interface.
The objective of the study is to compare the selection time and the error rate of both the interfaces and estimate the effectiveness of the new interface. If the new method is faster and less error prone it can be used in enhancing the interfaces of existing mobile applications and thus increase the productivity factor on small screen devices. Also with time users can develop spatial memory related to the actions and screen positions and this would lead to an improved performance.
