I am pleased to announce release 0.22 of gecode-python, the simplified
gecode bindings for python. This release brings a number of goodies!
WHAT'S NEW:
- support for "restart" search engine:
s.search(restart=True)
- support for search options:
s.search(threads=N1, c_d=N2, a_d=N3)
- support for keeping only some of the variables:
s.keep(V)
if some variables are thus marked as "kept", then only these variables
will be explicitly copied during search. This could bring substantial
benefits in memory usage. Of course, in a solution, you can then only
look at variables that have been "kept". If no variable is marked as
"kept", then they are all kept. Thus marking variables as "kept" is
purely an optimization.
- support for Gist:
s.gist(onclick=None, threads=None, c_d=None, a_d=None)
if your installation of Gecode has Gist support, then this will invoke it.
onclick is an inspector or an iterable of inspectors. An inspector is
a callable, or a class whose instances are callables, that has/have been
specially annoted by a decorator:
@inspector("My Inspector 1")
def show1(s2):
print s2.values([X1,X2])
Note that s2 is not necessarily a solution! You may also define a
textinspector to show textual output in a graphical window:
@textinspector("My Inspector 2")
def show2(s2):
return "X1=%s X2=%s" % s2.values([X1,X2])
A textinspector must return a string.
INSTALL:
- from pypi using easy_install (provided by setuptools):
sudo -E easy_install gecode-python
or easy_install gecode-python --prefix ~
if you are upgrading a previous install:
sudo -E easy_install -U gecode-python
or easy_install -U gecode-python --prefix ~
- from pypi using the tarball:
tar zxf gecode-python-0.17.tar.gz
cd gecode-python-0.17
sudo -E python setup.py install
or python setup.py install --prefix ~
- using the launchpad branch:
bzr branch lp:gecode-python
cd gecode-python
sudo -E python setup.py install
or python setup.py install --prefix ~
if you are installing using "--prefix ~" I recommend that:
1. you create directory ~/.local if it does not already exist
2. you create a symbolic link:
~/.local/lib -> ~/lib
or ~/.local/lib64 -> ~/lib64
depending on whether you have a ~/lib or a ~/lib64 directory in your
home after install.
this will allow python to find your locally installed packages without
requiring you to fiddle with environment variable PYTHONPATH.
Cheers,
--Denys

Alex Neil targets more points on Preston North End’s travels – starting at Derby County
by Dave SeddonAlex Neil hopes Preston’s away form can be given a big boost over the next few days to keep them in the Championship’s upper reaches.
PNE travel to Derby County tomorrow (3pm) and are back on the road on Wednesday to face Hull City.
It is their form at Deepdale which has in the main pushed them into early promotion contention.
However, North End’s win at Charlton in their last away game briefly sent them top of the table and Neil thinks there is plenty more to come from his side on their travels.
Lilywhites manager Neil said: “I like to believe that good performances yield good results but sometimes in this league it isn’t always the case.
“A case in point was earlier in the season when we didn’t get what we deserved a couple of times. At Swansea in the first half we played some of our best football of the season and lost.
“In the first half at Nottingham Forest we were excellent but only got a point.
“The season previous we struck a great balance away from home, we were robust, big, quick and strong.
“I think in recent weeks we have taken a less technical approach away from home and it has yielded results.
“The two games we have won away were both one-nil but at Charlton the win should have been by more.
“We could have scored three or four goals, we had the chances to do that.
“Whether we score one, two, three or four, I just want us to win games.”
Having had a few players missing for the 3-1 win against Huddersfield ahead of the international break, Neil should have a few more bodies available to him.
Ben Pearson returns after a one-match ban and Josh Harrop has been back training this week after a month out with a hamstring injury.
Daniel Johnson missed the Huddersfield game with a trapped nerve in his foot and will be assessed.
Several of the first-team squad featured in a bounce game at Burnley on Tuesday to sharpen their fitness in case they are called on during the busy schedule ahead.
Said Neil: “We are looking in good shape, I would think the majority of players will be back.
“Josh Harrop has been training this week, he started on Monday and we will see how he is in the last part of the week.”
Neil acknowledges this is a key spell of games, with the two away games followed by a Deepdale clash with West Bromwich Albion.
“It’s the snowball effect, it’s going to get bigger and bigger as the season goes on regardless of results,” he said.
“If results are positive they become more important to make sure we stay there.”

Path of Exile 'Conquerors of the Atlas' expansion and mobile game announced
There's a lot more Path of Exile in the works!
by Asher MadanWhat you need to know
- Path of Exile is an incredibly popular console and PC action game.
- It's getting an expansion and mobile port soon.
- A sequel, Path of Exile 2, was also announced a day ago.
- Path of Exile is a free-to-play game on consoles and PC.
Path of Exile is an incredibly popular Diablo-like action game and recently, developer Grinding Gear Games announced the sequel which lets you carry over your character and cosmetic purchases. However, that wasn't all. An expansion, called Conquerors of the Atlas also made an appearance. However, the highlight for me had to be the announcement of a mobile game for Android and iOS devices.
The Conquerors of the Atlas expansion promises to overhaul the endgame by adding five new bosses. This should keep players coming back for me. However, the real star of the show had to be Path of Exile: Mobile. According to Grinding Gear Games, it's a complete game with no pay-to-win mechanics. Again, it'll probably be supported by cosmetic microtransactions just like its console and PC counterparts.
Are you excited to play Path of Exile on your mobile device? Let us know. The original is one of the rare free-to-play games that doesn't feature pay-to-win mechanics. I've mostly just bought pets and cool outfits and absolutely love them because they allow you to express your individuality.

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has emergency surgery, Vanna White subs in
by Alexandra Mae Jones, CTVNews.ca writerTORONTO -- After nearly four decades of being co-host of the Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White has temporarily stepped into the role of host while Pat Sajak recovers from surgery.
The show put out a tweet Friday afternoon explaining that taping had to be canceled on Thursday when Sajak was forced to undergo an emergency surgery to “correct a blocked intestine.”
A photo attached to the tweet shows the iconic wall of letters spelling out “GET WELL SOON PAT!”
“He is resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back to work,” the tweet reads.
Sajak won a Guinness World Record for the longest career as a game show host of the same show earlier in 2019 for his role with the Wheel of Fortune.
Taping resumed on Friday with White as the host, joined by Disney characters Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto as guests.

This dish is surprisingly easy to make and very glamorous.
For this recipe you will need a pasta machine.
Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.
To make the pasta, put all of the ingredients in a bowl and, using your hands, gently mix together until they form a dough. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
For the filling, heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the pancetta. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the pancetta fat starts to melt, and then add the squash. Cook for a further minute and then add the onion, garlic, chilli and sage. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Drain any excess oil from the pan. Cover and refrigerate.
Remove the pasta dough from the fridge and cut in half. Roll the dough into 2 sheets using a pasta machine. Flour a work surface and the rollers of the pasta machine. Flatten out the dough into a rectangle. Set the rollers to their widest setting. Roll the pasta through the rollers. Narrow the rollers by changing the machine setting by one notch, then pass the rolled pasta through the rollers again. Dust the rolled pasta with flour. Repeat the process until they've been passed through the narrowest setting on the machine.
Blanch each sheet for 1 minute in boiling salted water, before refreshing in cold water. Remove from the water and pat dry using a tea towel.
 Lay the pasta sheets on the cling film in the opposite direction, overlapping in the middle to make one large sheet.
Combine the filling with the cheese and season with salt and pepper. Carefully spread the mixture evenly over the pasta, leaving a 2cm/1in gap at the bottom and a 4-5cm/1½-2in gap at the top. Using the cling film under the pasta to help you, roll the pasta up like a Swiss roll, keeping the roll tight. Once rolled up, wrap the cling film around the pasta and tuck the ends under the roll to seal.
Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat with a little rapeseed oil. Carefully cut the pasta rotollo into four thick (3-4cm/1½-1¾in) slices, leaving the cling film on. Lightly flour the cut sides, remove the cling film and carefully put the pieces in the pan. Colour on each side until golden-brown then transfer to the oven for 5 minutes, to finish.
For the cream sauce, in a medium saucepan, bring the cream to the boil then add the spinach, peas and broad beans. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Divide the cream sauce between four serving bowls and place the rotolo on top. Drizzle a little extra virgin rapeseed oil on top and serve.


Pussy Cat Dolls is one of the best female bands that have ever existed. They introduced a whole new style of music, dance, and fashion. The band was formed in the mid 90s and continued till the early 2010s. Luckily for us, they recently began performing and releasing new music!They are still very talented and have a lot of energy as performers.
The lead singer of the band is Nicole Scherzinger. She is always the main character in the music videos and on-stage performances. The rest of te members are American. They are also very talented in the way they dance. I've never really heard them sing clearly but they seem like they also have wonderful voices.

Gently the raft grated on the sandy beach. Then Betsy easily waded ashore, the mule following closely behind her. The sun was now shining and the air was warm and laden with the fragrance of roses.
“I’d like some breakfast, Hank,” remarked the girl, feeling more cheerful now that she was on dry land; “but we can’t eat the flowers, although they do smell mighty good.”
“Hee-haw!” replied Hank and trotted up a little pathway to the top of the bank.
Betsy followed and from the eminence looked around her.
“There ought to be people somewhere ‘round,” observed Betsy thoughtfully; “gardeners, or somebody. Let’s go and see, Hank. I’m getting hungrier ev’ry minute.”
So they walked toward the great greenhouse and came to its entrance without meeting with anyone at all. A door stood ajar, so Hank went in first, thinking if there was any danger he could back out and warn his companion. But Betsy was close at his heels and the moment she entered was lost in amazement at the wonderful sight she saw.
The greenhouse was filled with magnificent rosebushes, all growing in big pots. On the central stem of each bush bloomed a splendid Rose, gorgeously colored and deliciously fragrant, and in the center of each Rose was the face of a lovely girl.
As Betsy and Hank entered, the heads of the Roses were drooping and their eyelids were closed in slumber; but the mule was so amazed that he uttered a loud “Hee-haw!” and at the sound of his harsh voice the rose leaves fluttered, the Roses raised their heads and a hundred startled eyes were instantly fixed upon the intruders.
“I—I beg your pardon!” stammered Betsy, blushing and confused.
“O-o-o-h!” cried the Roses, in a sort of sighing chorus; and one of them added: “What a horrid noise!”
“Why, that was only Hank,” said Betsy, and as if to prove the truth of her words the mule uttered another loud “Hee-haw!”
At this all the Roses turned on their stems as far as they were able and trembled as if some one were shaking their bushes. A dainty Moss Rose gasped: “Dear me! How dreadfully dreadful!”
“It isn’t dreadful at all,” said Betsy, somewhat indignant. “When you get used to Hank’s voice it will put you to sleep.”
The Roses now looked at the mule less fearfully and one of them asked:
“Is that savage beast named Hank?”
“Yes; Hank’s my comrade, faithful and true,” answered the girl, twining her arms around the little mule’s neck and hugging him tight. “Aren’t you, Hank?”
Hank could only say in reply: “Hee-haw!” and at his bray the Roses shivered again.
“Please go away!” begged one. “Can’t you see you’re frightening us out of a week’s growth?”
“Go away!” echoed Betsy. “Why, we’ve no place to go. We’ve just been wrecked.”
“Wrecked?” asked the Roses in a surprised chorus.
 “But Hank and I caught hold of a raft and floated ashore to this place, and—we’re tired and hungry. What country is this, please?”
“This is the Rose Kingdom,” replied the Moss Rose, haughtily, “and it is devoted to the culture of the rarest and fairest Roses grown.”
“I believe it,” said Betsy, admiring the pretty blossoms.
“But only Roses are allowed here,” continued a delicate Tea Rose, bending her brows in a frown; “therefore you must go away before the Royal Gardener finds you and casts you back into the sea.”
“Oh! Is there a Royal Gardener, then?” inquired Betsy.
“To be sure.”
“And is he a Rose, also?”
“Of course not; he’s a man—a wonderful man,” was the reply.
“Well, I’m not afraid of a man,” declared the girl, much relieved, and even as she spoke the Royal Gardener popped into the greenhouse—a spading fork in one hand and a watering pot in the other.

Betsy laughed and pulled the watering pot off from Hank’s head. The little mule was angry at the treatment he had received and backed toward the Gardener threateningly.
“Look out for his heels!” called Betsy warningly and the Gardener scrambled to his feet and hastily hid behind the Roses.
“You are breaking the Law!” he shouted, sticking out his head to glare at the girl and the mule.
“What Law?” asked Betsy.
“The Law of the Rose Kingdom. No strangers are allowed in these domains.”
“Not when they’re shipwrecked?” she inquired.
“The Law doesn’t except shipwrecks,” replied the Royal Gardener, and he was about to say more when suddenly there was a crash of glass and a man came tumbling through the roof of the greenhouse and fell plump to the ground.

We will cover several different techniques for editing and rewriting your manuscript, and they will target different parts (e.g., Introduction, Results) or levels (e.g., paragraphs, sentences) of your manuscript. Some will take a lot of mental work and editing to put in place. We will start, however, with some techniques that are easy to do, and make a huge difference in how easy your manuscript is to read, but that are underused in science. These techniques focus on editing at the sentence level.
To learn these techniques, you will be reading several chapters of the Joseph Williams book (Style). If you haven’t received that one yet, you can find link to an online scan of an earlier version (like the one I’ve sent you) here.
The techniques are revisited in the other books I sent, all of which are built on the ideas that Style presents. I’ll include some suggestions for additional readings from some of the other books, and you can use that if you feel like you haven’t mastered the ideas yet from reading the Style chapters (or if you’re so excited about them you want to see more examples!). If you’d like examples from scientific writing, you can find them in the suggested additional reading from Writing Science in Plain English and Writing Science.
This first chapter sets up Joseph Williams’s goals and philosophy for the book, and it captures nicely what we’ll be trying to do through our workshop this week. Notice in particular that we won’t be focusing on “correct” or grammatical writing, but instead on editing to make things easier for our readers.
In the Introduction, I’ve included links to three papers that we’ll use as examples, in addition to working with your own manuscripts. Read these three papers and rank them (1 as best to 3 as worst) in terms of: (1) how easy you found it to read; (2) how much you enjoyed reading it; (3) how much you learned by reading it.
This chapter explains how you can think of sentences in terms of characters and their actions, and how you can diagnose if a sentence is not divided into subject and verb in a way that highlights these elements. While it may seem that this idea would be more important in fiction, this chapter provides examples of how it can clarify sentences in academic writing.
Additional reading. If you would like more information on the ideas in this chapter of Style, you can also check out Chapter 3 from Writing Science in Plain English and Chapter 17.2 from The Craft of Research.
In the three example papers, re-read the Introductions. List three to five main characters in the Introduction of each paper, using the explanation of “main characters” that Joseph Williams provides in Chapter 2 of Style. Remember that, in some cases, characters can be concepts.
Next, identify the characters in the following sentence:
“The use of the ecological fallacy to explain the discrepancy between individual and ecological correlations may have unintended consequences.” Schwartz, 1994
Try to rewrite the sentence to conform with the first two principles of clear writing (p. 21 of the online version of Style).
Do the same with the following sentence (it may help to replace the semi-colon with a period and diagnose / fix the resulting two sentences separately):
“For these reasons, using Twitter appropriately can be more than just a social media activity; it can be a real career incubator in which researchers can develop their professional circles, launch new research projects and get helped by the community at various stages of the projects.” Cheplygina et al., 2020
Pick a paragraph of your manuscript. List three to five main characters in that paragraph. In the sentences in these paragraphs, are the main characters the subjects of the sentences? Are there any examples where the action is in abstract nouns (e.g., knowledge, determination) rather than in verbs (e.g., know, determine)?
Pick one sentence of this paragraph. Rewrite it two ways. First, rewrite it in a way that violates the first two principles of clear writing (p. 21 of the online version of Style) and then in a way that conforms with these principles.
Next, read through the full paragraph and try to diagnose every sentence that is problematic, from this perspective. Use the following advice from the Style book:
“A quick method is simply to run a line under the first five or six words of every sentence. If you find that (1) you have to go more than six or seven words into a sentence to get past the subject to the verb and (2) the subject of the sentence is not one of your characters, take a hard look at that sentence; its characters and actions probably do not align with subjects and verbs.”
If you do not find any in this paragraph, look through other paragraphs in your manuscript. Write down up to three sentences that you find, and we’ll work together to diagnose if they do indeed have this problem and, if so, fix them.
In Chapter 2 of Style, Joseph Williams defines nominalizations and explains how they can confound clarity in a sentence. Identify any nominalizations in the following sentence:
“We begin with a description of the validity framework and the definition of key terms.” Schwartz, 1994
Rewrite the sentence without any nominalizations.
Next, find three sentences from your own manuscript with nominalizations. There are some tips in the section in Chapter 2 on “Looking for Nominalizations”. Write these down, and then try rewriting them to remove the nominalizations.
Using all the techniques from Chapter 2, diagnose problems in the following paragraph and rewrite it:
“Natural hazard losses exhibit an upward trend over time. This is a function of increases in wealth and population but is also attributed to better loss accounting in recent years. The escalating pattern of hazard losses is therefore partially an artifact of advances in reporting losses, but how much or how little this effect contributes to the skyrocketing losses in comparison to effects of population growth and increasing wealth in high hazard areas is unclear.” Gall et al., 2009
All the following steps are things for you to try after our workshop meeting on “Sentences”.
This chapter takes the next step—it starts considering how sentences fit within a paragraph, and how ordering the information in the sentence can help the flow across the paragraph.
Additional reading. If you would like more information on the ideas in this chapter of Style, you can also check out Chapter 7 from Writing Science in Plain English, Chapter 12 in Writing Science, and Chapter 17.3 from The Craft of Research.
Pick a paragraph of your manuscript. Identify all the topics in the paragraph. Is there a consistent topic string, as defined in Chapter 3 of Style? Are your topics visible? Revise your paragraph based on this diagnosis.
Next, read through all the paragraphs in your manuscript. Highlight the topics throughout. Are there certain sections where it looks like the topics might not be very visible, or where there may be too many topics in a paragraph?
This chapter discusses strategies for ending sentences, to emphasize the point you want to emphasize. This chapter is helpful, but you’ll get more immediate milage from mastering the content in Chapters 2 and 3. For now, read through this chapter so you can mull it over, but I don’t have any exercises for you based on it.

Film review (C) 1997 by Kevin Patterson
Contact (PG, 1997) Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Starring Jodie Foster, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Skerritt.
Contact is a film that tries to do several different things. It is intended to present a realistic picture of what alien contact might be like, to restore a sense of wonder and mystery to the issue of extraterrestrial life, to raise questions about science and faith and how they would be relevant in such a situation, and to tell a personal story of a romance between the astronomer Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) and the religious spokesman Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey).
The film succeeds wonderfully at its first two goals. The portrayal of the communication from an alien world is much more reasonable (albeit less immediately engaging) than, say, the cold-blooded destructiveness of the invaders in Independence Day or even the complex process of abductions and genetic hybridization that forms the ongoing plot line of TV's The X-Files. The aliens in Contact seem to be like us-they are more curious than anything else. They know we exist, they want us to know that they exist, and they would like to make the next step and communicate in person. The film wisely refrains from showing us the aliens directly, and between the characters' ongoing speculation about the extraterrestrials and the outstanding visuals in the climactic yet enigmatic scene when Arroway arrives on the alien world, that sense of wonder and mystery comes through with a force rarely seen since Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Most of the film, however, takes place on Earth, where there is an extended public debate on how to respond to these aliens. Scientists are enthusiastic, ultraconservative religious leaders are wary, and government officials are caught somewhere in between. The debate is fueled largely by Dr. Arroway's atheism; she seems the obvious choice to pilot the spacecraft for which the aliens have provided blueprints, but many are wary of sending an atheist as humankind's representative to another species. The film is partly successful in raising and exploring these questions, especially when it reaches a conclusion that suggests that the two approaches - science and faith - could be viewed as complementary rather than diametrically opposed.
Still, the film falls a little short in its representation of this conflict as it exists in American society. The two "sides" are represented primarily by Arroway and by far-right fundamentalists, but in reality probably 80% of Americans are neither atheists nor far-right fundamentalists. Palmer Joss occupies something of a middle ground, but he ultimately becomes distracted by personal motives and comes across as a less-than-ideal spokesman for any ideology. Then again, the film does concentrate mostly on public debate, which does, after all, tend to be dominated by extremists, rather than on dinner-table or college-dormitory discussions. Contact is accurate in its portrayal of these issues, then, but only within the narrow scope to which it confines itself.
The film's one clear failure is in the portrayal of the romance between Arroway and Joss. For one thing, it resorts to the tired movie clich* that two attractive people will immediately fall in love as soon as they appear on the screen together, as there does not seem to be any other reason for their instant mutual attraction. The romance rarely, if ever, sheds any light on the characters, although it occasionally tries and fails - Joss's explanation that he quit the priesthood because of the celibacy requirement ("I guess you could say I'm a man of the cloth, but without the cloth"), for example, is more like a punchline to a joke than character development. Instead, the romance mostly seems to exist for the sake of later plot developments. Granted, this is a plot- and idea-driven film and the characters are secondary, but this just seemed like laziness on the writers' part more than anything else.
The successes of Contact, however, far outweigh its failures. Even if the social commentary had fizzled altogether (which it didn't), the simple yet mysterious story of alien communication still would have made it a memorable film. Contact doesn't quite cover all the bases, but it covers about as much as one could hope for in a two-hour film, and its rejection of big-budget theatrics for a more realistic story is certainly admirable. And I would not be surprised if, ten years from now, Contact is mentioned in the same breath as 2001 and Blade Runner as one of the finest examples of sophisticated and intellectually relevant science fiction.

Susan Granger's review of "STAR TREK: INSURRECTION" (Paramount Pictures)
Love springs eternal in this ninth film of the popular "Star Trek" franchise, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is attracted to Anij, one of the leaders of an endangered planet and First Officer William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) resumes his romance with Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis). True to the spirit of the Starship Enterprise, whose purpose is to explore strange, new worlds and, in doing so, learn about many different species, Captain Picard and his crew come to the rescue of the Ba'ku, a small community of humanoid people whose serene and peaceful way of life is threatened, along with the Fountain of Youth properties of their planet's atmosphere. And, as it has been so often, the Star Trek plot is a metaphor for current events with Picard challenging a Starfleet authority that he believes to be corrupt and becoming an intrepid freedom fighter. Doing his best to overcome the weaknesses of the script - a blustering but relatively ineffectual alien villain (F. Murray Abraham), a leading lady who totally lacks screen charisma (Broadway's two-time Tony winner, Donna Murphy), and an overdose of techno-babble - director Jonathan Frakes keeps the pace light and lively, breaking from the standard save-the-universe, thrill-ride formula and emerging more as a robust, fun-filled reunion episode of "Star Trek: Next Generation." To its credit, once again, the humanity outweighs the hardware. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Star Trek: Insurrection" is a breezy, lightweight 7, combining idealism, action-adventure, and the requisite special effects with some of the gentle humor and romance that characterized the original television series.

I design services that are engaging, accessible and easy to navigate for a range of government services including the 'I want to fish' service and a UK wide waste tracing service.
During my time at Barclays I was a part of an interdisciplinary team of designers including Interaction, User Interface, User Experience and Service, working collaboratively alongside Developers and Product Owners to create and deliver live releases as part of the Barclays API store team.
I was responsible for creating innovative user experiences as well as developing user journeys and profiles. I was also responsible for producing performant and accessible solutions to tight deadlines.
The Hut Group is the UK’s leading multi-website retailer, with over 28 websites covering fashion, beauty, health and lifestyle. As part of the UX team I was responsible for delivering best in class eCommerce experiences across a portfolio of sites and services.
I worked within a team of User Interface and User Experience Designers as well as Front End Developers and Data Scientists. Projects ranged from full site builds, too creating new features and performance enhancements.
I joined AO.com as part of the team responsible for launching the TV and Digital products section of the website. I developed key pages for the AV launch and began work on a responsive framework to be used across the site.
Part of my role was also to create best practice guidelines for the front end team, reviewing the Sass, CSS and HTML as well as the sites accessibility.
Whilst at 20:20 I was able to work on projects for companies including Sainsbury’s, EE and O2. My work included feature development on existing sites as well as producing design concepts, wireframes, build estimates, and standards documents.
During my time at at 20:20 I was the lead designer on the EE accessories online store working closely with the brand team.
As a web team leader, I was responsible for 3 junior developers and designers, as well as running my own projects. The position required me to adapt quickly, learning to work with Magento and Wordpress websites as well as managing multiple customers, mentoring my team members and delivering training sessions.
On a weekly basis I was responsible for planning out the teams work schedules, holding customer meetings, liaising with the business development manager’s, producing prototypes and development work. I was also responsible for ensuring the team hit or exceeded monthly financial targets.

'3BlackChicks Review...'
MEET THE PARENTS (2000) Rated PG-13; running time 108 minutes Genre:Comedy IMDB site: http://us.imdb.com/Details?0212338 Official site: http://www.universalpictures.com/meettheparents/ Written by: James Herzfeld Directed by: Jay Roach Cast: Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Nicole Debluff, Jon Abrahams, James Rebhorn (Larry Banks), Phyllis George (Linda Banks)
Review Copyright Rose Cooper, 2000 Review URL: http://www.3blackchicks.com/bamstheparents.html
Whatever special water Robert De Niro drinks that makes him so talented, somebody oughta bottle it up and give it to Hollywood's 20 Million Dollar Club (you hear me, DiCaprio?). Serious or funny, De Niro runs big time circles around those so-called stars earning boucoup bucks.
Oh yeah: and Ben Stiller ain't so bad, either.
The Story (WARNING: **spoilers contained below**): MEET THE PARENTS is a comedy of errors: most of which were made by Greg Focker (Ben Stiller).
Greg, a male nurse, is in love with elementary teacher Pam Byrnes (Teri Polo), and wants to marry her; but just before he has a chance to propose, he finds out Pam's father Jack (Robert De Niro), a "rare flower dealer", expects any potential suitor of his daughter to ask him for her hand in marriage. Since Greg has yet to meet Pam's family, they set off to meet Jack and Pam's mother Dina (Blythe Danner) during the weekend when Pam's sister Debbie (Nicole Debluff) is preparing to marry her doctor boyfriend.
Greg's suitcase, which didn't fit in the plane's overhead storage, is lost by the airline - and from there, a series of interconnected foibles befall Greg, affecting the whole Byrnes family, much to the consternation of Jack, who doesn't like or trust Greg - even though Jack has a secret or two of his own. And yes: Wackiness Ensues.
The Upshot: There were a bunch of folks in this cast - decent supporters, all - but make no mistake: this puppy was Robert De Niro's and Ben Stiller's to play with. And play with it, they did.
 When his character, Greg, ran back into the house after he...well, I won't spoil it, even though it's a scene that's been shown in numerous trailers already. Suffice it to say that the audience erupted with laughter when Greg jumped through the upstairs window. Though I've not liked him all that much in the past, Stiller's comedic timing in "Parents", as well as KEEPING THE FAITH earlier this year, really gave me pause to reconsider. If nothing else, like Jack said, I'll be keeping my eye on Mr. Stiller.
But De Niro was like a treasure found for me. I won't waste my time or yours in recounting the dozens of serious movies in which he worked his acting magic; and though I've seen him crack a smile or two in flicks like MIDNIGHT RUN and WE'RE NO ANGELS (and, of course, as an ObMobster-type in ANALYZE THIS and similar fare), in "Parents", his mere facial twitch, or "innocent" crack, kept the audience roaring. I can't wait to see his next comedy showcase.
The weakness of this movie was that there were too many characters, and situations, that were left underused. Blythe Danner was game as Jack's ditzy wife Dina, but De Niro could've almost as easily gone it alone without too much muss and fuss. The rest of the family seemed equally mere appendages, as if writer James Herzfeld needed to include a "whole family" for Greg and Jack to bounce their lunacy off of. And it's a crying shame that the dysfunctional natures of both Pam's ex-boyfriend Kevin (Owen Wilson) and her brother Denny (Jon Abrahams) weren't further explored; surely, those characters had much more to offer than being simple "straight men" for Greg and Jack.
Fun though MEET THE PARENTS may have been, by concentrating almost exclusively on two characters out of many, it wasn't as great as it could've been. Still, I noticed no shortage of grins, and had a good time remembering the first few meetings I had with my now-husband's family. At least I never had Issues with raw sewage...
Bammer's Bottom Line: At times Laugh Out Loud hilarious, MEET THE PARENTS re-introduces a different, funnier side of Robert De Niro to the world (or at least, to that part of the world that didn't bother with that "Rocky And Bullwinkle" mess).
MEET THE PARENTS (rating: greenlight): But who knew that they could come up with funny riffs on the name "Focker"? [end Sarcasm]

optwrf.test.test_runwrf_postwrf¶
Tests the runwrf functions after WRF has been run
There is no test for run_wps(), run_real(), or run_wrf() because these programs are all computationally expensive and I don’t want them in this test suite. To test if WPS, REAL, and WRF are running correctly, I should probably make a separate test, but right now, I have been using runwrf_fromCL.py for this purpose.
-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_postwrf.
test_process_era5_data

-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_postwrf.

optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup¶
Tests the runwrf functions before WRF has been run
There is no test for optwrf.runwrf.run_real() or optwrf.runwrf.run_wrf() because these programs are all computationally expensive, and I don’t want them in this test suite. To test if REAL and WRF are running correctly, I should probably make a separate test, but right now, I have been using runwrf_fromCL.py for this purpose.
I can’t really think of a good way to test determine_computer without having to call the function over and over again in subsequent tests, so I’m just going to omit it for now.
Some of the tests will only be useful if you’re on a machine with the WRF source code downloaded (i.e., Magma, Cheyenne, or AWS). Otherwise, the test will automatically pass.
-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup.
test_WRFModel
()¶ Checks that the WRFModel method works correctly. The assert statements assume that you are using dirpth.yml not one made for a local machine. Should probably change this at some point…
-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup.
test_format_date
()¶ Checks the function that ensures consistency in the input date format.
-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup.
test_get_bc_data
(setup_yaml='mac_dirpath.yml')¶ Checks if WRF boundary condition data can be downloaded from the RDA. This definitely works best if done on Magma using setup_yaml=’dirpath.yml’, but if you do want to run it on your local machine make sure that you change setup_yaml=’local_dirpath.yml’, where local_dirpath.yml is a yaml file where you specify root directory paths. Note: this test only works on linux.
-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup.
test_prepare_namelists
()¶ If on AWS, Cheyenne, or Magma, tests that the template namelists can be edited to reflect the desired configuration for the current WRF model run.

-
optwrf.test.test_runwrf_setup.
test_wrfdir_setup
()¶ If on AWS, Cheyenne, or Magma, tests that the WRF directory can be setup correclty.


Tasks¶
A MissionControl Task represents a step in a workflow.
A task can do many things. In some cases a task runs a computation. For example, a task that transforms a JSON string into a YAML string.
In other cases a task defines logic for how a workflow should proceed. For example, a task that monitors an optimization computation and decides whether to keep optimizing or go forward.
In other cases a task wires inputs from one task to another. For example, a task that that collects the outputs of three separate models and passes them to an analysis task.
Task Lifecyle¶
The lifecycle of a task is like this:
We define a task as a dict in a flow_spec:
flow_spec = { 'label': 'example_flow', 'tasks': [ { 'key': 'task_1', 'task_type': 'print', 'task_params': {'msg': 'I am task_1.'}, }, ... ] }
We convert the flow_spec into a flow and run it with a FlowEngine.
Eventually the flow reaches our task and the FlowEngine ticks our task:
flow_engine.tick_task(task, flow, task_ctx_extras)
The FlowEngine calls the tick method of a top-level TaskHandler, and passes it the task and the task’s context. This context includes the task and its parent flow, as well as other user-provided items.
task_ctx = {'task': task, 'flow': flow, **task_ctx_extras} task_handler.tick_task(task_ctx)
The TaskHandler’s tick_task method looks up a task-specific tick function and calls it with the task_ctx.
The tick function performs actions based on the task_ctx. The tick method often updates a task’s status to indicate whether the task is still running, or whether it has failed or completed.
Defining Tasks¶
A task is defined as a dict, usually in the context of a flow spec. A task has several components:
- label
- a human-readable label for the task
- key
A key that uniquely identifies a task. This key is usually human-readable, and can be used later to access attributes of the task.
Keys should be formatted as valid python variable names (no dots or special characters). ‘my_task’ is a valid key, while ‘my.task’ is not.
task_type
An identifier for the type of task. MissionControl’s default task handler will look up an appropriate handler for the task by dispatching on the value of task_type.
From
mc.task_handlers.mc_default_task_handler.McDefaultTaskHandler
:
McDefaultTaskHandler.
default_task_type_to_tick_fn_dot_spec
(task_type=None)[source]@TODO
- task_params
- A dict of parameters for the task.
- data
- A dict data that the task should have.
- precursors
- A list of strings referring to keys of tasks which must complete before this task can run.
- successors
- A list of strings referring to keys of tasks which should not start before this task finishes.
Example:
my_task = {
'key': 'my_task',
'task_type': 'my.task.type',
'task_params': {'some_param': 'some_value'},
'data': {'some_key': 'some_value'},
'precursors': ['some_task_that_should_finish_before_my_task'],
'successors': ['some_task_that_needs_to_wait_for_my_task'],
}
A special note on precursors and successors: if neither precursors or successors is specified when a task is added to a flow, then the task will have its precursor set to be the task most recently added to the flow. This default behavior makes it easier to concisely define simple linear flows.
Running Tasks¶
Now that we can define tasks we can think about how to run them.
We use tick functions to run tasks. A tick function’s only requirement is to have a signature like this:
my_tick_fn(*args, task_ctx=None, **kwargs):
...
Where ‘task_ctx’ is a dict that typically has ‘task’, ‘flow’, and other user-specified items.
Per task_type above, MissionControl defines a default convention for loading tick functions based on values in task_ctx.
Tasks Handlers¶
There are often reasons to define a tick function as a method of a class.
Some of these reasons are:
- the logic for ticking a task is better expressed as a collection of functions, rather than as one long function.
- multiple tick functions share common setup/teardown logic.
- multiple tick functions share common logic for handling exceptions.
- multiple tick functions share common helper utilities and shortcuts.
MissionControl calls a class which defines a tick function a ‘TaskHandler’.
MissionControl provides a few classes which you can use as base classes for your own TaskHandlers.
See mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler
to find out more about these
base TaskHandler classes.
Usually you will want to inherit from
mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler.BaseTaskHandler
and then define
implementations for the methods
mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler.BaseTaskHandler.initial_tick()
and
mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler.BaseTaskHandler.intermediate_tick()
.
Example:
from mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler import BaseTaskHandler
class CountdownTaskHandler(BaseTaskHandler):
def initial_tick(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.task['data']['countdown'] = (
self.task['task_params']['countdown_start']
)
print("Starting countdown for task with key '%s'" % self.task['key'])
self.intermediate_tick(*args, **kwargs)
def intermediate_tick(self, *args, **kwargs):
countdown = self.task['data']['countdown']
if countdown > 0:
print("T minus %s" % countdown)
self.task['data']['countdown'] -= 1
else:
print("Houston, we have lift off.")
self.task['data']['my_result'] = 'Lift off!'
self.task['status'] = 'COMPLETED'
my_countdown_task = {
'key': 'my_task',
'task_params': {
'countdown_start': 3
},
'data': {},
}
while my_countdown_task.get('status') != 'COMPLETED':
CountdownTaskHandler.tick_task(task_ctx={'task': my_countdown_task})
Expected output:
Starting countdown for task with key 'my_task'
T minus 3
T minus 2
T minus 1
Houston, we have lift off.
Built-In TaskHandlers¶
MissionControl provides a few built-in TaskHandlers for common operations:
-
class
mc.task_handlers.flow_task_handler.
FlowTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source] TaskHandler that creates subflows, via a flow_record client.
-
class
mc.task_handlers.job_task_handler.
JobTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source] Creates and tracks jobs.
-
class
mc.task_handlers.log_task_handler.
LogTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source] Writes a msg to a python logger.
Can also dump task_ctx info, by setting dump_task_ctx, dump_flow in task_params.
-
class
mc.task_handlers.mc_default_task_handler.
PrintTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source]
-
class
mc.task_handlers.mc_default_task_handler.
NoOpTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source]
-
class
mc.task_handlers.spread_task_handler.
SpreadTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source]
-
class
mc.task_handlers.switch_task_handler.
SwitchTaskHandler
(task_ctx=None, logger=None, **kwargs)[source] Task handler that performs a conditional switch.
- task_params:
control_value: value to use when checking cases cases: list of case dicts, that look like:
{'condition': condition_dict, 'task': task to run if condition matches}
where a condition_dict looks like:
{'op': <operator from the python 'op' library e.g 'eq'>, 'arg': 2nd arg to operator}
default_case: the case to use if no case matches.
Wiring¶
How do we share data betwen tasks?
What do we mean by wiring? We mean transferring data. But this needs some more explanation.
For example, say we want to have a flow like this:
- Get records from a database.
- For each record: create a subflow.
We could create (1) a task that gets the database records, and (2) a task that creates subflows. But how would we connect the output of our database task to our subflow task?
Let’s think about some of the strategies we could use.
Strategy A: Standard Input/Output Hooks¶
In this strategy we have a convention of using standard input/output hooks. That is, every task could have an ‘inputs’ property and and ‘outputs’ property. Then, when a task finishes, a FlowEngine would pass whatever is in the finished task’s ‘outputs’ property to the next task.
This strategy is what many unix command-line tools use. A command takes input on stdin and then produces output on stdout and stderr.
- Pros:
- Conceptually simple.
- Works well for simple linear flows.
- Cons:
- Hard to get inputs from multiple sources.
- Hard to get inputs from previous tasks which are not direct precursors.
- Obscures how outputs from one task are wired to inputs. Transformations must be described within a task’s tick function, rather than in a task’s definition.
- We need to make intermediate ‘adapter’ tasks to transform outputs from one task into a suitable input format for later tasks.
- Tasks have to choose what to expose as outputs. If a task does not expose a value as an output, a later task cannot access that value.
Strategy B: Tasks Push Inputs To Sucessors¶
In this strategy a task sets inputs on its successors. That is, a task has references to its successors, and it can set values on its successors.
- Pros:
- No need for adapter tasks. A task controls exactly what gets passed to its successors.
- Cons:
- A task has to know what inputs its successors expect. This leads to a high degree of coupling, making it hard to reuse or modify tasks.
- Tasks have to receive or be able to lookup references to their successors. This couples tasks to the lookup system.
Strategy C: Intermediate Wiring Tasks¶
In this strategy we have two categories of tasks: ‘work’ tasks that do the work of our flow, and ‘wiring’ tasks that pipe data between ‘work’ tasks.
 And they don’t make any decisions about what outputs to expose. Their logic only deals with how to do their work.
On the other hand, our wiring tasks are knowledgeable. They know which work tasks they pull data from, and what shape of data those source work tasks expose. Our wiring tasks also know which work tasks they push data to, and what data formats those target tasks expect.
There is coupling between the wiring tasks and work tasks, but not between work tasks and other work tasks. This means that work tasks can be reused and modified without having to worry about other work tasks.
In addition, our wirings are explicit in the definitions of the wiring tasks. So we can see them in our flows.
- Pros:
- Work Task Simplicity: A work task’s definition can focus exclusively on the work its need to do; work tasks no longer need to worry about formatting inputs and setting outputs.
- Decoupling: work tasks can be reused and modified without worrying about breaking other work tasks.
- Multiple Input Sources: a wiring task can aggregate data from multiple work tasks into one input.
- Explicit Connections in Flow Definitions: a wiring task’s definition shows how data moves through flow, making our flows easier to understand.
- Cons:
- We need to define the intermediate wiring tasks, which can add verbosity.
Which Strategy to Use?¶
The MissionControl authors recommend the wiring strategy. We think that this strategy gives the most control, and makes it easier to reuse and compose tasks. In addition, we think wiring tasks make flows more comprehensible by explicitly showing how data moves from one task to another.
To help with creating wiring tasks, MissionControl provides a special
TaskHandler,
the WireTaskHandler
.
To learn more about wirings see the documentation for
WireTaskHandler
,
and look at the wiring examples.
raise NotImplementedError('link to wiring examples')
Interpolations¶
The primary con of the wiring strategy is that it adds verbosity to a flow.
For example, a simple wiring like ‘connect task_a.prop_1 to task_b.prop_2’ requires an entire task definition:
raise NotImplementedError('make verbose definition')
MissionControl provides a utility called ‘interpolation’ to help reduce this verbosity for simple wirings.
raise NotImplementedError('Make inline interpolation example')
The logic for interpolation is defined in the
mc.task_handlers.mc_default_task_handler.McDefaultTaskHandler
class.

Proxying Tasks¶
Sometimes we want to create tasks that involve complex definitions. Or we want to create tasks which change their behavior based on the parameters they receive.
We could create such tasks by making large, complex task dicts. But these task dicts can be hard to understand. And if we want to reuse the logic of these tasks in different flows, we would need to copy-and-paste their task dicts into our flows.
Is there a better way? Yes! Proxying tasks to the rescue!
Proxying tasks are tasks which act as simplified interfaces to an underlying complex task. We can pass simple parameters to a proxying task, and then have the proxying task dynamically create an underlying complex task from our parameters.
The way we create a proxying task is by creating a normal task with a special dict item named ‘proxied_task’. The value of this item is another task dict.
When our FlowEngine encounters a task that has a ‘proxied_task’ component it will tick the proxied_task instead.
Let’s see an example.
Proxying Tasks Example¶
Here’s a task with a little complexity. It prints (1) a given message and (2) the number of characters in the message.
Let’s first implement without using a proxying task.
from mc.task_handlers.base_task_handler import BaseTaskHandler
class MessageStatsTaskHandler(BaseTaskHandler):
def initial_tick(self, *args, **kwargs):
orig_msg = self.task['task_params']['msg']
altered_msg = orig_msg + " (%s chars)" % len(orig_msg)
# Add an additional task to print the altered message.
flow = self.task_ctx['flow']
flow.add_task({
'task_type': 'print',
'task_params': {
'msg': altered_msg
},
'precursors': [
*self.task['precursors'], self.task['key']
]
})
self.task['status'] = 'COMPLETED'
flow_spec = {
'tasks': [
{
'task_type': 'message_stats',
'task_params': {'msg': 'I am short msg'},
},
{
'task_type': 'message_stats',
'task_params': {'msg': 'I am looooooooong msg'},
},
]
}
from mc.flows.flow_engine import FlowEngine
my_flow_engine = FlowEngine()
my_flow_engine.run_flow(
flow=my_flow_engine.flow_spec_to_flow(flow_spec),
tick_kwargs={
'tick_fn_for_task_ctx_overrides': {
'message_stats': MessageStatsTaskHandler.tick_task
}
},
)
Expected output:
I am short msg (14 chars)
I am looooooooong msg (21 chars)
Our implementation feels a bit kludgy. We’re altering the structure of our flow by adding a new task. This is ok for this example. But such an alteration could cause problems in other cases. What if other tasks needed to wait until our altered message was printed? How would they know to use our newly added task as a successor? How would they be able to get data from it?
Here’s a different implementation of our example above. What’s different is that we using a proxying task.
class ProxyingMessageStatsTaskHandler(BaseTaskHandler):
def initial_tick(self, *args, **kwargs):
orig_msg = self.task['task_params']['msg']
altered_msg = orig_msg + " (%s chars)" % len(orig_msg)
self.task['proxied_task'] = {
'task_type': 'print',
'task_params': {'msg': altered_msg}
}
def intermediate_tick(self, *args, **kwargs):
self.task['status'] = self.task['proxied_task'].get('status')
my_flow_engine.run_flow(
flow=my_flow_engine.flow_spec_to_flow(flow_spec),
tick_kwargs={
'tick_fn_for_task_ctx_overrides': {
'message_stats': ProxyingMessageStatsTaskHandler.tick_task
}
},
)
Expected output:
I am short msg (14 chars)
I am looooooooong msg (21 chars)
This feels cleaner! The structure of our flow doesn’t change, and we don’t have to interact with the flow inside our initial_tick method.
We can trim this down even more if we inherit from MissionControl’s
mc.task_handlers.base_proxying_task_handler.BaseProxyingTaskHandler
class. This class defines a hook for creating the proxied task, and tasks care
of propagating attributes from the proxied task to the proxying task.
Expected output:
I am short msg (14 chars)
I am looooooooong msg (21 chars)
Recommended Practices for Tasks¶
- Use TaskHandler classes for non-trivial tick functions.
- Test your tick functions and task handlers.
- Use intermediate wiring tasks to move data between tasks.
- Use proxying tasks to abstract complex task logic and create reusable tasks.

The game is played on two grids, one is the Ocean Grid and the other is the Target Grid.
On one grid (Ocean Grid) the player arranges ships and records the shots by the opponent. On the other grid (Target Grid), the player records their shots.
Before play begins, the player secretly arranges their ships on their primary grid. Each
ship occupies some consecutive squares on the grid, arranged either horizontally or
vertically.
The arrangement can be randomised using the Randomise button or be placed
manually using the Place ships button and using drag and drop to place
ships on the grid horizontally. Clicking on a ship rotates the position vertically when in
horizontal poition and vice versa.
The number of squares for each ship is determined by the type of the ship. The ships
cannot overlap, that is, only one ship can occupy any given square in the grid and ships
can not be placed beside each other.
| No | Name | Image | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carrier | 5 | |
| 1 | Battleship | 4 | |
| 2 | Cruiser | 3 | |
| 2 | Submarine | 3 | |
| 3 | Destroyer | 2 |
After the ships have been positioned, the game proceeds in a series of rounds when the Start Game button is clicked. The Reset Game button can be clicked at any time during the game to stop and restart the game.
In each round, each player takes a turn to click on a target square in the opponent's grid
which is to be shot at. The attacking player "target" grid is marked with red for "hit",
black for "miss".
If all of a player's ships have been sunk, the game is over and their opponent wins.
