Q: How to reverse dict when key is bit mask? How to reverse Flag_to_Marker during compilation:
class FLAG(IntEnum):
    DEFAULT_ZERO = 0b0
    L1 = 0b01
    L2 = 0b10
    RSU = 0b100
    ESCALATED_COMMENTS = 0b1000

    Flag_to_Marker = {L1: 'is_l1', L2: 'is_l2', RSU: 'is_rsu'}
    Marker_to_Flag = {v: k for k, v in Flag_to_Marker.items()}

    def marker(self, flag):
       return self.Flag_to_Marker[flag]

    def flag(self, marker):
       return self.Marker_to_Flag[marker]

but I have the following exception when I trying to construct Marker_to_Flag: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'dict'. How to fix that?
I want to have Marker_to_Flag = {'is_l1': L1, 'is_l2': L2, 'is_rsu': RSU}

A: Marker_to_Flag = {v: k for k, v in Flag_to_Marker.items()}

A: *

*Your values must be unique.

*reversed_dict = {y:x for x,y in Flag_to_Marker.items()}

The European Parliament has adopted the report on private copying levies drafted by MEP Françoise Castex, two weeks after its adoption by the Legal Affairs Committee.
The report will not be legally binding for the Member States but it will contribute to the debate on copyright and express the opinion of MEPs on private copying levies.
The scope of the report is limited to private copying levies and is clearly not related to reprography levies.

Q: Why is my implementation of numpy.random.choice faster? I wanted to implement numpy.random.choice (except the replace argument of it) to see how it works.
This is what I came up with:
from random import uniform
from math import fsum

def select(array, total_count, probability):
    probability_accumulative = []
    last_element = 0
    for i in range(len(probability)):
        probability_accumulative.append(last_element + probability[i])
        last_element = probability_accumulative[i]

    result = []

    if(len(array) != len(probability)):
        raise ValueError("array and probability must have the same size.")
    elif(fsum(probability) != 1.0):
        raise ValueError("probabilities do not sum to 1.")
    else:
        for i in range(total_count):
            rand = uniform(0, 1)
            for j in range(len(probability_accumulative)):
                if(rand < probability_accumulative[j]):
                    result.append(array[j])
                    break

    return result

It seemed to work pretty well, so I decided to write another script to check how much slower my implementation was, compared to numpy.random.choice.
This is the test script I wrote for it:
from random_selection import select
from collections import Counter
from numpy.random import choice
from time import time

def test(array, total_count, probability, method):
    methods = {
        "numpy.random.choice": choice(array, total_count, p=probability),
        "random_selection.select": select(array, total_count, probability)
    }

    if(method in methods):
        probability_dict = {}
        rand_items = methods[method]
        items_counter = Counter(rand_items)

        for item, count in items_counter.most_common():
            probability_dict[item] = f"{100 * count / total_count:.1f}%"
        return probability_dict
    else:
        raise ValueError(f"Method {method} has not been defined.")

def main():
    total_count = 1000000
    array = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
    probability = [0.7, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1]

    print(f"array: {array}")
    print(f"probability: {probability}")
    print(f"size: {total_count}")

    print()

    print('random_selection.select: ')
    start_time = time()
    result = test(array, total_count, probability, 'random_selection.select')
    end_time = time()
    print(result)
    print(f"{(end_time - start_time):.4f} s")

    print()

    print('numpy.random.choice: ')
    start_time = time()
    result = test(array, total_count, probability, 'numpy.random.choice')
    end_time = time()
    print(result)
    print(f"{(end_time - start_time):.4f} s")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I was quite surprised to see that my implementation was faster!
This is the result for an array size of a million:
array: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
probability: [0.7, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1]
size: 1000000

random_selection.select:
{'a': '70.0%', 'c': '10.0%', 'd': '10.0%', 'b': '10.0%'}
2.5119 s

numpy.random.choice:
{'a': '70.0%', 'b': '10.0%', 'd': '10.0%', 'c': '10.0%'}
3.1098 s

And if I increase the size to 10 million, the difference becomes more noticeable:
array: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
probability: [0.7, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1]
size: 10000000

random_selection.select:
{'a': '70.0%', 'b': '10.0%', 'd': '10.0%', 'c': '10.0%'}
25.6174 s

numpy.random.choice:
{'a': '70.0%', 'b': '10.0%', 'c': '10.0%', 'd': '10.0%'}
31.8087 s

Why is that?

A: Your testing code doesn't do what you expect it to do. The test function always calls both of your two random selection functions. Your timing only detects the difference in performance of your analysis code on the results that correspond to the requested function.
The issue is with these lines:
methods = {
    "numpy.random.choice": choice(array, total_count, p=probability),
    "random_selection.select": select(array, total_count, probability)
}

These unconditionally call the choice and select functions, and put the returned values into the dictionary. That's almost certainly not what you expect. You might want to put a lambda function into the dictionary, that calls the desired function with the appropriate arguments when it is called.

A: This is not necessarily surprising. Python's built in random library is more lightweight than the numpy.random library and so we would expect a simple implementationm based on the random library to be slightly faster. There is a more in depth explanation here.

A: As everyone commented, the conversion from list to np.ndarray that occurs when you call any numpy function on a list must be the time-consuming process. If you try this with np.ndarray objects directly, don't hope to beat a Cython-based library like numpy.

Stan Bill wins 2018 Student-Led Teaching Award
Sidney Fellow, Stan Bill, has won a 2018 CUSU Student-Led Teaching Award for his lecturing.
We recently announced that three of our Fellows had been nominated in this year's Student Led Teaching Awards run by Cambridge University Students Union. CUSU have now revealed that Stanley Bill (MML, Slavonic) has come out on top for the 'Lecturer' award.
Martha Krish, CUSU Education Officer, commented, "To be shortlisted in these awards is a brilliant achievement. There were 591 students who filled in the nomination form to let us know about someone who had had a profound impact at their time at Cambridge. We have had to whittle it down to just a few who we have deemed to be absolutely exceptional in their category. To those shortlisted, I would just like to say that myself and the judging panels are big fans of your work. The judging was carried out by panels comprised wholly of students, many of whom are faculty reps, held JCR Welfare Officer positions or have roles on CUSU's liberation campaigns."
The Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education Graham Virgo added "The Student-Led Teaching Awards is an important event in the collegiate University's calendar celebrating as it does those who teach, those who support teaching and learning, and those who provide pastoral and other support to students. Receiving an award or being nominated for an award is a particular honour since it reflects the appreciation of those who have actually benefited from teaching and learning support at Cambridge."
This is a fantastic achievement, and one that the College is very proud of. Congratulations Stan!

A new study conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has confirmed a link between prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and an increased risk of developing asthma in early childhood. The researchers also found that the link was not associated with the reason for taking the drug.
Acetaminophen – also known as paracetamol – is widely used to treat a myriad of symptoms including fever, headache, back pain, arthritis pain and sciatica. The drug is most commonly sold under the trade name, Tylenol.
"Uncovering potential adverse effects is of public health importance, as paracetamol is the most commonly used painkiller among pregnant women and infants," said Dr. Maria Magnus, primary author on the study. The research was published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
While previous research demonstrated the link between acetaminophen consumption during pregnancy and infant asthma development, the current study was the first to show that the risk was independent of the reason the medication was taken. In order to demonstrate this finding, Magnus and her team analyzed data collected from 114,500 children and their mothers who were participating in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study.
The researchers studied women – some of which took acetaminophen – with several common conditions during pregnancy, and recorded whether their resulting children developed asthma between the ages of three and seven years old. The study investigators also set out to determine whether the link could be attributed to a specific reason for taking the drug – the most common of which are pain, influenza and fever.
At age three, Magnus and her colleagues found that 5.7 percent of the children had asthma; at age seven, that number was slightly lower at 5.1 percent. The results showed an independent link between asthma development at three and seven years of age, and prenatal or infant exposure to acetaminophen.
The most compelling link between asthma and acetaminophen exposure was identified when the expectant mother was taking the drug for more than one reason. This confirms the results of previous studies that have found no link between acetaminophen use outside of pregnancy, and shows that the increase in asthma risk is not due to other health factors aside from taking acetaminophen.

Mystery buyer snaps up a piece of racing history: Ayrton Senna's record-breaking 1993 McLaren Formula One car sells for €4.2MILLION in Monaco
The Ford Cosworth-powered McLaren MP4/8A was the car Senna won his historic and record 6th Monaco win
It still has the same V8 engine and gearbox as fitted for that race and is one of the Brazilian's most famed cars
It sold for €4.19 million (£3.7 million), which was a little short of the higher estimate of €5 million (£4.4 million)
Also purchased at the Bonham's auction was Senna's first F1 machine - a 1984 Toleman-Hart (€1.6 million) he piloted to second place at Monaco - and Michele Alboreto's 1987 Scuderia Ferrari (€666,666)
By Rob Hull For Thisismoney.co.uk
Published: 08:47 EDT, 16 May 2018 | Updated: 08:47 EDT, 16 May 2018
A trio of iconic Formula One cars from yesteryear were sold to the highest bidders at a Monaco auction this weekend, fetching a collective figure of a staggering €6.5 million (£5.7 million).
Of the three cars to go under the hammer on Friday evening, the standout was Ayrton Senna's 1993 race-winning McLaren, which was purchased for a whopping €4.19 million (£3.7 million).
Auctioneers Bonhams have refused to reveal the identity of the person that bought the Ford Cosworth-powered MP4/8A driven by the Brazilian legend, but said it went after a 'lengthy and spirited bidding exchange'.
Early reports had suggested the new owner was none other than former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. However, he has since quashed the rumour.
Senna's record-breaker sold: The McLaren Ayrton Senna piloted to a record 6th win at Monaco in 1993 (pictured during the race weekend, left) has gone under the hammer. The winning bidder paid €4.19 million (£3.7 million) for the F1 car
The car was sold at Bonhams' 'Les Grandes Marques à Monaco' sale on Friday evening, held during the 11th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique event
The sale was just one of a number of auctions held over the weekend during the 11th Grand Prix de Monaco Historique - a classic race-car gathering at the 2.1-mile harbour-side public road turned racing circuit.
While iconic high-value vintage motors were on the agenda elsewhere, Bonhams' 'Les Grandes Marques à Monaco' sale on Friday evening featured a trio of F1 cars of serious significance.
Senna's 1993 McLaren was built up as the star of the show and didn't disappoint - though the sales fee was someway short of the higher estimate of €5 million.

Media reports released soon after the sale concluded hinted that Ecclestone - who already has an extensive collection of race cars and was in Monaco at the time - was in fact the successful buyer.
However, the former Formula One supremo denied the reports when Reuters phoned him to ask the question.
Whoever the winning bidder was, they have undoubtedly purchased a piece of racing history.
Bonhams described it as the 'most historically important Formula One McLaren' it had ever presented at auction. Pictured, Senna in action in the very car at the '93 Monaco GP
Senna had endured a difficult season with the Williams Renault being significantly quicker than his McLaren that year. He still managed to secure an iconic 6th win, which eclipsed the record previously held by Graham Hill. This picture was taken during the record-breaking Monaco weekend
Senna also drove chassis number 6 in no fewer than eight other races in the '93 campaign, including Canada (18th), France (4th), Britain (5th), Germany (4th), Belgium (4th) and Italy (DNF)
The McLaren was the last Formula One car raced at Monaco by the three-time world champion, who died at Italy's Imola circuit in a Williams in May 1994.
That makes it the final car he piloted at the most famous of all street circuits and the same one he overtook Graham Hill's record to achieve six wins at Monte Carlo.

However, the victory at Monaco will be the most fondly remembered, not least because he managed to win after crashing the car heavily in practice, badly damaging his thumb.

While it sold for a staggering fee, it was still short of the higher estimate of €5 million

Bonhams said the fully-functional car, which still has the original V8 engine and gearbox from the record-setting race, was the 'most historically important Formula One McLaren' it had ever presented at auction.
Philip Kantor, Bonhams European head of motoring, said: 'This sale has been an absolute triumph. We achieved astonishing prices across the board and found new owners for some of the most historically important cars to come to public auction in Monaco in recent memory.
'A Monaco sale is always a unique experience, but this has truly exceeded expectations – impressive results were achieved in the breathtaking setting of Villa La Vigie, arguably the most beautiful location of any auction across the globe.'
McLaren had terminated its deal with Honda at the end of the 1992 season and had signed an agreement to run Peugeot engines from 1994. In limbo for 1993, the Woking-based team partnered with Ford to run its V8 Cosworth engine for a single season, though Senna was sceptical that it would compete with the V10 Renault motor in Prost's Williams
The steering column for the detachable race wheel still shows Ayrton Senna's initials
While his McLaren didn't quite make the higher echelons of the pre-sale predicted value, Senna's first Monaco car - a 1984 Toleman-Hart TG184 - shattered estimates Bonhams had placed on it ahead of the auction.
It's the famed car that Senna piloted to second place in the 1984 race, which was cut short due to torrential conditions.
The Brazilian, who had qualified in 13th behind the likes of Nigel Mansell, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet, put on a dazzling display of wet-weather driving to finish just behind Alain Prost, who would go on to become Senna's biggest nemesis during his immensely successful career.
The McLaren wasn't the only memorable Senna F1 car to be sold on Friday evening. His Toleman-Hart - the car he burst onto the scene in during the 1984 season, was also purchased for €1.6 million (£1.4 million)
Senna took second place at the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix in this car, promoting himself from 13th on the grid. The race was ended prematurely due to torrential conditions. The Brazilian dazzled F1 fans with a supremely controlled drive that he would go on to repeat on a number of occassions
The Oxford-built Toleman far exceeded its pre-sale estimate of €750,000 to €1 million, realising an impressive €1.6 million (£1.4 million) after an 'intense bidding battle between several buyers', according to event organisers.
Also sold in the same auction was a 1987 Ferrari outfit used that season by Michele Alboreto for the Scuderia Ferrari team.
It sold for a sum of €666,666 (£587,000).

This 1987 Scuderia Ferrari was also made available at the same auction. It sold for a sum of €666,666 (£587,000)
The Ferrari was driven that season by Italian Michele Alboreto who finished 7th in the Formula One standings that season

In 2017, Ava finally made her professional debut alongside Le Youth. The single titled "Clap your hands" was applauded, and the track immediately became a hit. The following year, "My way", her debut solo single, was premiered by Atlantic Records. This also received a warm reception, and the video got wide viewing.
Ava's breakout single "Sweet but Psycho" was released on the 17th of August 2018. The song became an instant hit. It ranked first in countries like Finland, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, The United Kingdom, and Denmark, and stayed at on top for four weeks consecutively. The song also rose to number 10 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Singles Chart, as well as the top of the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. Two years later, she released her debut studio album titled Heaven and Hell, after recording the album from December 2018 to March 2023.

The Breaking Down Songfacts says: Florence Welch, the frontwoman and primary contributor to Florence and the Machine, wrote much of her debut album, Lungs, about breaking up with her long term boyfriend, Stuart Hammond. The pair later patched things up and got back together but they eventually spilt up again. "Breaking Down", which evokes both mental fragility and childhood fears was inspired by the ending of their relationship for a second time.

Q: Versions for css background images when versioning is enabled for css I am using "test/test.css?version=1.1" style of versioning to all my css files wherever they are referenced in JS/JSP's. This I am doing to disable cache whenever there is version change.
In my css file, I again have background images for elements. What happens to these images when version is changed for css file? Do I need to add "?version" to these images also?

A: images won't effect if you change the version number of css file. Because images path will be same even you change the css file version.
Here's how you determine where an image is coming from in Chrome

*

*Open your developer tools and go to the "Network" tab.

*Find "background-image.png" in the list of network requests and click on it's name. and then goto headers tab then you can see Status Code:200 OK (from memory cache)

So images always loads form the cache until its cache of image is cleared.
To update bg images apply same thing like adding version number as query string to background image or try to load bg images by using javascript so that it will be easier to add version number in js.

Home Electric Vehicles Why Vandalism is the Biggest threat to Success of E-Scooter Startups
Why Vandalism is the Biggest threat to Success of E-Scooter Startups
By Harsimran Julka
It's a toy for short distance joyrides that's being sprinkled by unicorn startups across hundreds of city centers and tourist hubs around the world. And it is dubbed to be the next big disruptor in last mile transportation around the world, even giving competition to the short distance taxi rides.
At just a $1 to start, it has become the cheapest toy which can make you navigate busy districts or beach-sides around the western world.
The e-scooter industry is expected to gross $41 billion by 2030.
Companies such as Bird, Lime, Skip and Spin are sprinkling e-scooters around bus stops, train stations, beach sides, shopping malls, etc across the US, Europe, and New Zealand. Next stop for the companies are markets such as Australia, Singapore, etc.
At nights, when bus or train services stop, e-scooters often become the fastest and cheapest way to roam around city centers for tourists and students alike. While Uber rides may cost not less than $6-$7 for even a 4 km distance, an e-scooter ride is priced on a time-usage basis.
Nominally, it costs about $3-$4 for a 15-minute ride, which is enough for one to reach from point A to point B, or cover a short distance such as a tourist circuit.
Some offer rides as low as $0.10 for a 10-minute ride, while some offer it at 10-15 cents a minute.
Of course, for longer distances spanning more than 5 kilometers, it becomes more common-sensical to hire an Uber. But if you are hard pressed for cash, an e-scooter or e-bike ride might still cost you cheaper, provided its battery lasts the long distance you wish to travel.
Batteries last about 10-15 miles for most e-scooters, on a full charge.
So, what's holding back the e-scooter sharing industry from flourishing. Besides, the cost of maintaining them, and their lower shelf life, which often lasts less than 500 rides, funnily enough, it is vandalism and theft.
How do e-scooter companies prevent theft? For many companies, as soon as you try and move a locked scooter a few meters, it starts beeping a loud noise, which is enough to wake up the neighbors and their kids.
Thus keeping a stolen scooter at home is never a good idea. An electronically locked scooter anyways becomes useless, if you keep it at home, unless of course, you remove the electronics, without which it becomes just a manual 'dragging' scooter.
An e-scooter retails from anywhere upwards of $400-$700 in the retail market.
With laws yet to be framed for the e-bike and e-scooter sharing industries, by transport departments and municipal councils across the world, these machines are not registered as normal bikes and cars. Thus, laws become hardly enforceable.
In normal wear and tear, companies do lose about 4-5 scooters per day, per city due to broken parts, including their body frames, which often cannot withstand rough handling.
Add to that losses due to theft, and costs may render the business, completely unviable.
People also cannot be usually prosecuted for making an e-scooter unviable for use.
Vandalism and theft are becoming key roadblocks to this industry.
Here are a few common cases of vandalism, that are holding back the e-scooter industry:
1.Painting & Graffiti: Often creative users paint the e-scooters with their own oil paints or graffiti, rendering them useless. These paints are hardly washable and destroy the brand presentation for the companies.
2.Drowning them in Ocean: For playful purposes, some users just throw the scooters into rivers and sea, making their electronics non-functional.
3.Sand & Fire: Driving an e-scooter on the beach is never a good idea, The sand enters its electronics and the moisture spoils the motors. Some customers go a level up and make a bonfire of e-scooters after a few beers down on the beach.
4.Tricks and Stunts: Roam around in city parks and you would find kids taking e-scooters on slopes and stairs and jumping off them making their nuts loose and forks break.
5.Hyperlocal Ads: Believe it or not but often local restaurants and businesses start to put their own ad labels on these scooters as they become the best platform to reach their target customer.
6.The Scooter Stealers: Even though GPS trackers inside e-scooters makes them locatable, there are hardly any laws that can help prosecute a customer who has kept a scooter in his house. Staffers often are not allowed to enter gates communities or homes where they are kept.
7.Curiosity killed this startup: Some users start to pull apart the scooters out of curiosity after a ride. Some have even gone ahead and claim to have broken inside the apps and make them ride for free. All this does burn a hole in the already fragile business' pocket.
Nevertheless, in an ideal world, bereft of theft or vandalism, electric vehicles are the way to go when you wish to navigate the bazaars and bylanes of world's future cities.
They can be the best option to navigate the bylanes of a Delhi's Chandni Chowk, roam around the Piazza Navona in Rome, or see the starlit sky under facing Rongitoto Volcano in Auckland's Mission Bay.
E-scooters could be taken on the narrow lanes leading to Varanasi's ghats, the paved streets around the Church of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem or on the Queen's Wharf in San Francisco.
As traffic increases often most central business districts will have to become pedestrian or bicycle only.
E-scooters have become the buzzword for last mile transport from the bus stop or the metro station to your office in many cities already.
If you're a tourist, a student in a hurry, or an office goer who does not wish to sweat out on a dusty walk to the office, e-scooters could be the way to go.
Especially in tourist hubs which experience less snow or rain, e-scooters could become the defacto choice to travel from one monument to another.
And when e-bikes are fitted with a carrier, they become a handy shopping assistant.
Wish to pick up grocery and too lazy to take out a car? Or if you are in an area with no public transport after hours, riding an e-scooter can be the best way out.
To conclude, the e-scooter revolution is coming soon in your neighborhood, whether you live in Bangalore or Beijing, but the key for these startups to become profitable is how they tackle the messy problem of vandalism.

Yesterday we correctly predicted that while the world is distracted by this and that, the next real short-term catalyst is the east Ukraine referendum vote on Sunday, whose results would be available as soon as May 11, indicating that, almost with 100% certainty, the Ukraine region would vote to become independent.
This was promptly followed by a skillful diplomatic gambit by Putin who, knowing full well Donetsk would just say no, suggested the referendum be postponed thus giving himself cover when the western press attacked him for using Crimean tactics for the second time in two months. This was confirmed this morning when the Donetsk "separatists" indeed politely thanked Putin for his concern, but decided to proceed with this weekend's referendum anyway.
The irony is that as we also explained yesterday, the Crimea scenario is fully in play once more. Confirming precisely that was news from News of Donbass which reported moments ago that in the aftermath of the new certain May 11 referendum, a week later east Ukraine will formalize the Russia annexation process and on May 18 there will be a "second round of the referendum where you will be asked to support accession to the Donestk region of Russia."
Gathered on the square of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Republic, administration representatives announced a "referendum" in two rounds. As the correspondent of URA-Inform.Donbass, the first round of the referendum will be held on May 11.
In the first round resident of Donetsk will be offered to vote for recognition of the Donetsk republic and then on May 18 will be held the second round of the referendum ", where you will be asked to support accession to the Donetsk region of Russia.
The decision on such a scheme of "referendum" was made today at a meeting of deputies DNR today in Donetsk.
We note that the pro-Russian activists gathered in the square outside the administrative building reactied negatively to the assessment statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the need to delay the "referendum".
In summary: in one master stroke, Putin "distanced" himself from the Donetsk administration so he is not seen as pulling their strings, and more importantly, in 10 days, said Donetsk republic will formally join Russia.
And that is how you successfully conduct foreign policy. There is a second way: using hash tags.

Measuring the Effectiveness of your Testing Strategy
Automated software testing has many advantages over its manual counterpart. From providing greater accuracy due to the elimination of human error to increasing both test coverage and the speed of testing with concepts such as parallel testing, automated testing has obvious advantages that cannot be ignored by a DevOps organization striving to build quality software on a tight delivery schedule.
The question, then, is not whether you should embrace automated testing. It is instead how to achieve test automation.
That begs the questions: How can an organization be sure that they are effective in their testing operations and strategy? What metrics can assist in determining the effectiveness of an organization's testing strategy? What are some determining factors in the decision to add or remove a test from the testing process?
Below I will answer all of these questions in an attempt to provide valuable insight regarding an effective testing strategy.
Metrics Indicative of an Effective or Ineffective Testing Strategy
When attempting to evaluate your testing strategy, collecting and analyzing several key metrics can help to determine if changes to your strategy are necessary. The first metric that needs to be collected in order to assist in this evaluation is the number of bugs found as a result of the tests being run prior to the release of the application. This can be derived from the number of test failures throughout the builds leading to a particular release. The idea is to track and catalog each bug that is found through the use of your test set for the application prior to promoting the application to a higher testing environment or even production. The next metric to keep track of in this particular scenario is the number of bugs found outside of the test set - bugs that were either stumbled upon during manual testing in a higher testing environment or even found in production after a release was completed.
After a reasonable time frame of a couple of weeks or even a month following the production release, we can use the two metrics to analyze the effectiveness of the current test set. The calculation is simple. How many bugs found in the application were as a result of the set of tests that were developed to automate the software testing process, and how many were found outside of the test set? For example, if 50 total bugs were found during this process, but 25 of the bugs were found outside of the current set of automated tests, then some work needs to be done to help catch these bugs earlier in the process. It is likely that test coverage is inadequate and needs to be increased. On the other hand, if 45 of the 50 bugs were discovered as a result of the automated test set, then the coverage is pretty good, and the tests are proving to be quite effective.
No application that has complex requirements (as many applications do) is going to be deployed to production bug-free. While it would be nice, that is likely an unachievable goal. Instead the focus should be on expanding test coverage to an effective level that increases the chances of catching the majority of bugs through automated testing prior to a production release. Finding 45 out of 50 bugs in development thanks to the test set would be a pretty good indicator that the current testing strategy is working.
Does This Feature Require Automated Testing?
One major aspect to consider when evaluating testing operations and strategy is whether or not new or existing features actually should have automated test scripts developed and added to the application's test set. While the idea of automating as much testing as possible to increase coverage may make sense in theory, it doesn't always make sense in practice. As pointed out in Angie Jones' slideshow from SauceCon 2018, test automation can be expensive. Time is required to develop useful test scripts, but the process can also be expensive from a maintenance perspective. As features for the application evolve over time, so must the test scripts responsible for detecting issues with these features.
There are a couple of key factors to take into account when considering whether or not to automate testing for a particular feature. These factors include the following:
What is the impact on the customer if the feature is broken? Is this feature critical to the function of the application? Is the feature used by each customer each time the application is used? If this is the case, then it should be tested as thoroughly as possible, and thus would likely require automated testing to ensure that the functionality is working properly with each build. As mentioned in the slideshow by Angie Jones referenced earlier, adding/viewing tweets on Twitter would qualify as a high-impact feature requiring automated testing.
Is the feature difficult and time-consuming to test manually? Some features are far easier to test with an automated test script than they are to test manually. If this is the case with a feature you are considering scripting, then it's possible that it makes sense to automate its testing. This can include features that require multiple test cases in order to fully ensure functionality. Maybe your application is a web application and on this website exists a form for user registration. This registration process may have several paths dependent upon the data input by the user. One case may simply require that you enter the minimum information possible: name, email and password. But other cases may exist that allow the user to enter additional information on different screens. Since user registration would likely be considered a critical feature of the application, and there exist several paths that need full testing to ensure proper functionality, it would make sense to avoid the tedium of manually testing this process with each build and to go ahead and automate the test cases for user registration.
As with anything in life, these factors are open to interpretation, and a case can be made to automate testing for just about any feature of an application. But just because feature testing can be automated doesn't mean that it should be. One thing to keep in mind when deciding if automated testing is really necessary is the complexity of the application feature in conjunction with its importance. If the feature you are building is really simple in nature and also not part of the application's core functionality, then it probably doesn't need to be automated. It isn't a showstopper, and likely wouldn't garner a fast response from the development team if it was indeed broken.
Building an effective testing strategy is key to the success of any DevOps organization. This will likely be an iterative process that evolves over time until it is fine-tuned to support the organization's ability to continuously deliver quality software to the customer. Evaluating the effectiveness of your testing strategy through the use of metrics related to bug-tracking while assessing the necessity of your automated tests that make up your application's test sets will contribute positively to overall application quality.

The United States is a prison nation, 1 in 4 people incarcerated in the world reside in US prisons and jails. People who go to jail need to be treated like people both while they're there and when they get out.
Our Mission: UUPMI will equip UU's in IL to transform institutions and support people harmed by the prison industrial complex.
Our Unitarian Universalist principles call us to affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person and to engage in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We want to engage those most in need of affirmation – the people locked up, often for very minor offenses, in Illinois prisons, who look to worship services for badly needed peace and solace. The UU Church of the Larger Fellowship serves 700 people in prison who deeply value our shared faith, and 260 people in Illinois prisons have pen pals through the GLBTQ group Black & Pink. The need is clear. Our UU presence and support in prisons can save sanity, spirit, and even lives.
The Chicago UU prison Ministry of Illinois will foster connections between UU congregations and Illinois prisoners.
Mass Incarceration: The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of its prisoners. It is even worse for women: the U.S. holds nearly 33% of all women incarcerated worldwide. Racial disparity is a major factor: black people are 10.1 times more likely to be sent to prison for drug offenses than white people, although whites use and sell more drugs than blacks do. Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercies, urges us to get in proximity to injustices we want to challenge. The UU Prison Ministry of Illinois will do exactly that.

Генеральный штаб Армии обороны Израиля (Маткаль, ) — высший орган управления Армии обороны Израиля. Хотя Армия обороны Израиля подчиняется правительству Израиля в лице министра обороны, Генеральный штаб осуществляет оперативное руководство вооружёнными силами страны. В состав Генерального штаба АОИ входят начальник Генштаба (назначаемый на трёхлетний срок с опцией продления полномочий на четвёртый год), командующие родами войск и военных округов, руководители департаментов АОИ и другие высшие офицеры АОИ и обладатели ключевых постов в министерстве обороны Израиля.

История

К концу 1939 года из ведущих офицеров «Хаганы», крупнейшей еврейской военизированной организации палестинского ишува, был сформирован Генеральный штаб, подчинявшийся Национальному командованию «Хаганы», во главе которого в это время стоял Йоханан Ратнер. Начальником Генерального штаба был назначен Яаков Дори. 31 мая 1948 года, при создании Армии обороны Израиля, руководство «Хаганы» автоматически заняло места в Генеральном штабе только что созданной национальных вооружённых сил, и Дори стал первым начальником Генштаба АОИ. В дальнейшем эту должность занимали 20 высших офицеров АОИ, которым при занятии поста присваивалось высшее воинское звание в Израиле — генерал-лейтенант.

До 1952 года Генеральный штаб АОИ располагался в Рамат-Гане. В 1952 году, в ходе крупномасштабной реорганизации военных баз в Израиле, было принято решение о переводе Генштаба в центр Тель-Авива, на военную базу Кирья, расположенную на месте бывшего посёлка темплеров Шарона. Эта база служила в первые годы существования Израиля местом сосредоточения правительственных учреждений, и её даже неофициально называли «Бира» («столица»), но к этому моменту правительство в основном переехало в Западный Иерусалим. После переезда в 1953 году министерства иностранных дел Кирья оказалась в полном распоряжении министерства обороны Израиля и Генерального штаба.

Для нужд министерства обороны и Генерального штаба к 1987 году в Кирье было построено высотное здание «Марганит» (общая высота 156 м, из них 17 этажей офисной структуры общей высотой 64 м; остальную часть составляет «палец» — бетонная мачта, несущая антенны и прочее трансляционное оборудование). К моменту завершения строительства «Марганит» была вторым по высоте зданием Израиля. В 2005 году было завершено строительство ещё одного высотного здания в южной части Кирьи, в котором позднее разместилось большинство служб министерства обороны и Генерального штаба. Новое здание, известное как «башня Маткаль», как и «Марганит», насчитывает 17 надземных этажей (помимо этого, пять этажей находятся под землёй). Самая высокая точка его — вертолётная посадочная площадка — находится на высоте 107 метров.

Тот факт, что Генштаб АОИ располагается в Кирье — в центре крупнейшего мегаполиса Израиля, — рядом политиков, включая мэров Тель-Авива Шломо Лахата и Рона Хульдаи, расценивается как возможная угроза жителям города в случае войны. Кирья считается приоритетной целью для вражеских ракетно-бомбовых ударов.

Chisel Barn is half a mile away from the charming village of Child Okeford. The village has a particularly good shop and post office, selling fresh vegetables, bread and dairy produce.
Just minutes walk away from the barns are the two village pubs - The Bakers Arms and the Saxon Inn. Both are loved for their homely atmosphere and good, simple food. Previous visitors enjoyed being able to walk home in the dark after a drink here!
From Wednesday to Sunday Gold Hill Organic Farm Shop and the Tea-Sympathy Café are open. Here you can buy delicious organic meat, fruit, vegetables, cereals, patisserie and cheese. The farm courtyard is also home to the excellent Art Stable Gallery.
In Child Okeford you will also find a garden centre, and a village hall where Film Nights are held on the fourth Friday of the month.
The nearest towns are Sturminster Newton, Blandford and Shaftesbury. Salisbury is forty five minutes away and Bath an hour and a quarter north. The Coast is just under an hour away for Kimmeridge and Lulworth. Lyme Regis would make a good day trip out of season.


Plants absorb nitrogen as both nitrate (NO3–) and ammonium (NH4+), and preference for either varies by age and type of plant, environment, and other factors. In the turf industry, most of the nitrogen fertilizer is applied as urea, which is quickly converted to ammonium by urease, an enzyme found in soils and on the turf.

Surfing in the Galapagos Islands
by Matt Rode on 21st June 2019
Updated 25d ago
It's a story that we've heard far too many times. Surfers discover the latest and greatest Shangri La. Backpackers follow, then masses of mainstream tourists. Unsupervised hedonism leads to crime and pollution.
Local governments don't care because the economy is growing, which they erroneously believe is the goal (when in reality a sustainable economy should thrive rather than grow). No one does anything to protect the area until the lineups become congested to the point that the expat and local surfers have ruined it for themselves. Only then do we try to regulate, through Surfrider Foundations and Save the Wave Coalitions, but by that time it is usually too late. The environment and local culture are irreversibly damaged, and things only get worse from there.
Surf guide: Galapagos
© 2019 - Sarah Lee
This happens virtually everywhere surfing goes, with the same results and the same problems. Except for the Galapagos Islands. In the Galapagos, the problem is the complete opposite.
When Roberto Plaza moved from mainland Ecuador to the Galapagos Islands 25-years-ago, surfing was still relatively new in the area. That was a golden age of sorts for the locals, as they had the pleasure of exploring the coasts of the various islands, searching out new waves and new ways to enjoy one of the world's most important ecological reserves.
But five years after his arrival, new administrators assumed control of the national park, and new regulations and restrictions were introduced. When the idea of outlawing surfing in the islands was proposed, Plaza authored a paper explaining the benefits of the activity for the local community, and asking that the administrators do an assessment before deciding to outlaw surfing altogether.
At the same time, he and others in the community started a surf club on Santa Cruz, the most populous island in the Galapagos. The club was eventually sanctioned by the local government, which also provided land and a building in which to house the club's headquarters.
The Santa Cruz Surf Club.
Unfortunately, at the same time, rules governing access to certain areas (and even the ability to own a private boat) began to come into effect. Today, 97 per cent of the Galapagos region is accessible by permit only—and, aside from a few private vessels that were grandfathered in, all boats in the islands require commercial licenses for their various activities, with these licenses being limited in number, and extremely expensive.
While these regulations are aimed at preserving the islands' unique and fragile ecosystems—a goal they have succeeded in admirably—they have also created an environment where it is virtually impossible to engage in independent adventure activities.
Currently no boat operators in the islands are permitted for surf tourism, which means that theoretically the only way to surf remote zones is to hire a boat with a fishing permit for a specific area, and then quietly use that boat to surf instead of fish.
But the legalities of this arrangement are dubious at best. Plus, they are further complicated by the fickle nature of surf conditions, and the fact that regional permits have to be arranged ahead of time. In other words, while it may theoretically be possible to bend the rules and get a permit to visit a specific surf spot, if the conditions end up being better farther up the coast, your permit might not cover the zone with the best waves on any given day.
This regulatory system affects more than the occasional tourist looking to do some independent exploring and share a few waves with the sea lions. The local surf community (which numbers at around 200) is also technically limited to surfing within the 3 per cent of the islands' area that is accessible by car or foot, and that doesn't require a permit.
This is why most of the known waves in the Galapagos are located around the two biggest towns—because those are the only places were access to the waves is actually allowed. On San Cristobal this tends to work out, since the main town is located on the west coast, where both north and south swells can filter in and the predominant winds during blow offshore.
But on Santa Cruz, where the town of Puerto Arroyo is located on the southeast coast, its either flat or onshore the majority of the time. Meanwhile, dozens if not hundreds of setups on the other coasts and islands—many of which have confirmed waves—are inaccessible due to park restrictions.
Despite still being a young man, Michael Moreno is one of the elders of the surf community on Santa Cruz. He's a direct product of the local surf club, having been one of the first young members to join all those years ago. He's also the man who hosted Kepa Acero when the affable Spaniard visited the Galapagos Islands (and subsequently entertained the world with his viral, homemade edit). Together, the two pushed the limits of permitted exploration as far as possible, and ended up discovering one of the area's newest, highest-quality waves.
Today, the local kids consider Moreno to be one of the area's best surfers. But more than that, they look up to him as a mentor and teacher. Moreno runs a surf school that caters occasionally to visiting tourists, but mostly to the island's school kids. These extracurricular surf lessons are part of a holistic approach to education that Roberto Plaza, his wife Reyna, and the other parents on the island are trying to create for their children.
Spot guide: Galapagos
If the surf club is Plaza and Moreno's pet project, than the school is Reyna's. The only private school on the island, and the only one that teaches all courses in a bilingual setting, the school is anything but traditional. Although it is required to meet the government's curriculum standards, it does so in an open-minded, nature-centred atmosphere where the hallways are planted with trees and the children are encouraged to learn and recreate in a mature, self-directed way. The kids are also encouraged to pursue healthy, drug-free, extracurricular activities, like playing in the ocean and caring for the environment
The kids are also encouraged to pursue healthy, drug-free, extracurricular activities, like playing in the ocean and caring for the environment. And that shouldn't come as a surprise, considering that parents like Reyna who support the school consider these skills to be of the utmost importance.
Roberto and Reyna have made it their life mission to build a model of what eco-conscious sustainability can look like, while stressing the fact that it is possible to do so without sacrificing luxury. They have turned their property into a sustainable, off-the-grid coffee plantation and eco-lodge that hosts adventure/yoga retreats throughout the year. When developing their property, they sourced local materials from the island of Santa Cruz as much as possible, with the result being a beautiful central house and separate yoga centre set on a self-sufficient working plantation.
They generate their own power, grow their own food, compost virtually everything (including the fruit that their coffee beans are harvested from), and have enough fresh water stored to survive the occasional drought. Their property is also located near the migratory path of giant land tortoises, which run wild across the acreage under the careful eye of their 16-year-old son Cayetano, who can tell you practically everything there is to know about the exotic creatures that call the Galapagos Islands home, and about sustainable living in general. The kids who surf in Moreno's after-school classes spend as much time cleaning up the beaches as they do in the water
In other words, these are exactly the sort of people you want to be looking out for the ocean resources in the Galapagos Islands. The kids who surf in Moreno's after-school classes spend as much time cleaning up the beaches as they do in the water, which is exactly why Plaza's son gets to be involved in the program.
While surfers elsewhere have to be reminded to "take three for the sea" rather than leaving beaches dirtier than they find them, the surfers in the Galapagos Islands are the natural stewards of their environment, which makes it even more of a shame that they only have access to a small portion of their home's coastline. Not only are these local surfers missing out on their islands' waves, but the islands themselves are missing out on a voluntary army of motivated environmentalists.
When to surf: Galapagos
As I sat and chatted with Plaza and Moreno outside of the surf club during my last night in the islands, they explained to me that that the administrators of the national park are not bad people, or even bad administrators—they simply aren't surfers. They don't understand the priorities and motivations of the local surf community, or how valuable it could be to the entire region if a compromise could be found.
But Plaza and Moreno believe that by educating those who are in power, it's possible to shape a future where the local surfers can once again access—and protect—the waves and coastlines that they grew up surfing. In fact, that very day Plaza had met with the woman in charge of the office managing public use in the national park.
As a product of that meeting, the local surf club had signed a letter of agreement with the Galapagos National Park to work together to find a permanent solution to the surf access problem.
While Plaza excitedly told me this, Cayetano walked by with a handful of kids from the surf club and told us they'd be surfing early the next morning before my flight, if I wanted to join. I asked how the waves would be, and Cayetano said, "Onshore. It's always onshore, because we can't surf anywhere else. But at least we will be in the water."
Hopefully, with his father's help, the winds of change will soon blow the other way.

The costs of electricity don't have to lie far above today's costs even if very conservative assumptions are made. At today's prices for all components, the costs of electricity don't have to be higher than from a newly erected combined-cycle gas power plant and could be even lower than the current prices of electricity at the cheap base load electricity traded e.g. at the European Energy Exchange. The annual difference in cost compared with the current national bill for electricity, which typically may account for roughly 2 to 3% of the gross national product, would if at all only impose a few per mill of the gross national product as an additional burden on the industrial countries within the supply area of the scenarios, thereby constituting a highly rational alternative to the predictable consequences of climate change and declining fossil fuel resources. Foreseeable cost reductions – particularly for renewable energy technologies – make a comprehensive renewable energy system both conceivable and potentially more economic than all current means of providing electrical energy. However, the costs are dependent on the future system configuration, and could be reduced by ongoing technical progress, or be negatively influenced by wrong energy policies.
