Q: How to evaluate multiple functions on one generator using asyncio instead of threading? The Goal
This effort is towards creating an efficient solution to the following problem.
source = lambda: range(1 << 24)  # for example
functions = (min, max, sum)  # for example
data = tuple(source())  # from some generator
results = tuple(f(data) for f in functions)

This works. The source() function generates however many values it may. They're put into a tuple called data. Then a series of functions are called with that tuple to give the results. These functions iterate over one given parameterized iterator once and then give their result. This is fine for small datasets. However, if source() generates many, many values, they must all be stored. This can hog memory.
Possible solution
Something like...
from typing import Callable, Iterable, Tuple, TypeVar

TI = TypeVar('TI')
TO = TypeVar('TO')

def magic_function(data: Iterable[TI], fxns: Iterable[Callable[[Iterable[TI]], TO]]) -> Tuple[TO, ...]:
    stored = tuple(data)  # memory hog, prohibitively
    return tuple(f(stored) for f in fxns)

source = lambda: range(1 << 24)  # for example
functions = (min, max, sum)  # for example
results = magic_function(source(), functions)

This is what I've been trying to do. This magic_function() would give the data iterator to some kind of internal asynchronous server. The fxns would then be given asynchronous clients -- which would appear to be normal iterators. The fxns can process these clients as iterators unmodified. The fxns cannot be modified. It is possible to do this with the threading module. The overhead would be horrendous, though.
Extra clarity
This should be true.
source = lambda: range(1 << 24)  # for example
functions = (min, max, sum)  # for example
if first_method:
    data = tuple(source())  # from some generator
    results = tuple(f(data) for f in functions)
else:
    results = magic_function(source(), functions)

Whether first_method is True or False, for source()'s same output and the same functions, the results should always match (for single-pass iterator-consuming functions). The first computes and stores the entire dataset. This can be absently wasteful and slow. The magic method ought to save memory with minimal overhead costs (both time and memory).
Threading implementation
This is a working implementation using the threading module. It's visibly slow...

Tests

*

*The test1() makes sure that bundle_bg() does what bundle() does. They should do the exact same thing.

*The test2() sees if BranchedGenarator.make() behaves like bundle_bg() and (transitively) like bundle(). The BranchedGenarator.make() is supposed to be most like magic_function().

*test3() has no purpose yet.
Status
The first test fails. The second test has a similar error calling BranchedGenerator.make().

In all honesty, I'm new to asyncio. I don't know how to fix this.

Can somebody help me fix this?! Please? This one with asyncio should do exactly what the one with threading does -- just without the overhead.
Another pathway
Before this, I attempted a simpler implementation.

Tests

*

*Test 0 tells whether wrapper2() does what is supposed to do. That is to call all functions and return the results. No memory is saved, like first_method == True.

*Test 1 is simply like first_method == False. The sample is not a tuple.
Problem
Ouch! I can code, I assure you.
 File "[redacted]/branched_generator.py", line 25

            ^
SyntaxError: 'yield' inside generator expression

I freely admit it: this version is dafter. The wrapper2() is obviously most like magic_function().
Question
As this is the simpler implementation, can this wrapper2() be salvaged? If not, don't sweat it.

A: If it's just the materialization of the data you are worried about, you could do
from itertools import tee
from statistics import geometric_mean, harmonic_mean, mean, median, median_high, median_low, mode
from random import randint

def magic_function(data, fxns):
    return tuple(f(d) for f, d in zip(fxns, tee(data, len(fxns))))

def new(length: int, inclusive_maximum: int) -> Iterable[int]:
    return (randint(1, inclusive_maximum) for _ in range(length))

sample = new(1000, 1 << 5)
functions = (tuple, mean, harmonic_mean, geometric_mean, median, median_high, median_low, mode)

magic_function(sample, functions)

NB tee is not thread-safe though
PS: You are right, this consumes the generator and makes n copies of all data in it.
I don't think we can salvage the async and await version in your question. The arbitrary functions in fxns will have to consume the iterators asynchronously; they have to release control flow after (roughly) each item they pop off and process. But async and await are cooperative, we can't force any given function f to await in its loop (that's why we get the TypeError). But your solution using threading does work, because at some points in their loops, threads are put to sleep pre-emptively by the VM, and in that way give opportunity for the other functions to run.
Keep in mind, there's a difference between simultaneous and concurrent. When I said a sequential roundrobin of the functions would be enough, I meant it in this way, let one of them consume an item, and then let the next one consume one. There is no need for the functions to run simultaneous. In fact, your working threading example, doesn't run anything simultaneously (on the CPython VM. IronPython and Jython may run multiple threading.Threads simultaneously, but on CPython there's only 1 running at a time)


The Cloud is another rapidly growing Internet service, allowing users to rent storage and computation resources inside the network. In this lecture, we will see how the large data centers operated by Cloud providers can be constructed from a multitude of small switches.
Now how do we think about this capacity allocation problem here?
source. As each session traverse a single path.
We're going to index each of them by say, I.
of the source of that session or flow, not the path that it takes.
and maybe in the homework problem you can encounter one of those.
congestion control, namely, the source rates.
capacity constraints on all the links in the network.
uncountable number of feasible allocation vectors.
The question then is which one you should pick as the optimal.
fairness in this allocation. You don't want to waste link capacity.
solution, but clearly is very inefficient.
You also want it to be fair. Let's take a look at an example.
are three sessions. So, four links.
Right by one, two, three, four, and three sessions labeled by a, b, and c.
Session a traverses all three lengths in this tandem, okay?
in fact, that is the only link to session c goes through.
Okay. Now the question is.
allocation of the capacity? So first of all you need to be feasible.
Okay, for example I want to give all three sessions one megabit per second.
So I want to give the vector 111 to sessions A, B, and C.
Now that's not feasible. Right?
because then link one cannot accommodate two megabit per second.
It can only have the capacity of one megabit per second.
Same thing for link four. So, you have to pick a feasible solution.
three has leftover capacity, I cannot add more rates to session a.
links then may be you should not receive too many rates, too much rates.
uses one bottleneck link and C uses one bottleneck link.
configuration, the, the implications can be different.
utilize four megabits per second across all four links.
Okay, but you can try to use as much as possible.
other two sessions zero. Okay.
That is a particular allocation. Right?
It actually would use three out of four megabits available in the network.
negative per second available in the network.
Right, because this link and this link will be fully utilized.
they are both efficient. Okay.
starves, sessions B and C, giving them zero rates.
session A is actually taking up a huge amount of resources.
So why should we treat it equally as if this is same as sessions B and C, right?
It goes through two bottleneck lengths. Not one.
And indeed, if you go through the derivation of a proportionally fair.
session A 1/3 of a unit, so 1/3 of a megabit per second.
three out of four megabit per second in the network.
But allocation is. One unit of share for A.
you will be given, half of the capacity, as the other sessions.
fairness of allocating them among competing sessions.
So now the question is how do we formulate this problem in general.
routing decisions which is again given to us already.
clearly changes the configuration of what session uses what path, what links.
subset of nodes which are the sources that use this link l.
Denote that set by S(l) and you can ask yourself is node i in that set.
the end to end path. Is this link l in that path?
illustrating this using the same topology that you just saw.
which is my source rate as source i summing over all the I's.
What is this? Well, we can give it a symbol.
This is y sub l because we sub over all the i's fixing a particular l.
This is the load on link l. So the load on link l.
way, or represent it in this binary, matrix way.
number into a vector C, are both given constants.
Our vec, our matrix, and C vector our constants.
We do not get to change the link capacities or the routing decisions.
We get to change the X vector. Hopefully distributively.
inequality to be satisfied for all links l.
notation to represent this link capacity constraint.
component, the second component's less than the second component, and so on.
Okay? Now what about the objective function?
of fairness. Promethized by this alpha.
the power of 1 minus alpha over 1 minus alpha, if alpha is not equal to 1.
If it is equal to 1 then, in the limit, this becomes log of x Okay.
So different sources I may have different alpha.
So you can say, this source have 1 alpha. Another source has a different shape.
Or we can say they all share the same Alpha.
sharing the same shape, summing over all of these sources i.
And this will be the objective function: maximize the sum U(Xi).
So instead of maximizing this you are talking about minimizing this.
Subject to linear constrains. And this is a nice problem.

problem, the trouble resides in this coupling constraint, Okay?
just like what we saw already in this example.

But fortunately we can do what we call dual decomposition.

Dr. Martin Hsia , per clinical psychologist at Ca, claims that gambling isnt a problem once its of entertainment exclusive. Certainly, certain gamblers can get a handle on their task. These perform occasionally all through holidays as holidays and never chances above they may be able afford to drop. However When periodic amusements turn into addictive hobby, dilemmas crop up.

A few years back, Bullets2Bandages, a San Diego-based Veteran-owned small business, hosted a campaign for Six Shooter Shot Glasses, modeled after the cylinder from a Colt revolver. It seems they were successful, because they're currently selling the item on their Etsy page. The glasses are machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, and comply with U.S. 21 CFR F.D.A. Reg Part 175.300 clause C1/C2/C3/C4, meaning according to the Government they're safe to drink from. Additionally, they can be custom laser-engraved, for an extra touch of personalization.

Samsung Galaxy A20e render leaked online; expected to launch on 10th April
by Jeet
in Samsung
Samsung has scheduled a launch event on 10th April for Galaxy A-series smartphones. But, even before the event, the South Korean company has been on a launching spree and already launched a bunch of Galaxy A-series smartphones.
Now, a render of another smartphone in the same series has surfaced online — Galaxy A20e. It seems to be variant of the Galaxy A20 and thus, comes with a similar design. The phone is expected to get launched on 10th April along with the Galaxy A90.
It features a water-drop notch on top of the display and comes with a dual-camera setup on the back where the sensors are stacked vertically in the top-left corner, along with an LED flash. In the top-center part, there's a fingerprint sensor and below that is a Samsung branding.
A few weeks ago, Samsung Galaxy A20 went official, which features a 6.4-inch Infinity-V Super AMOLED display. It is powered by an Exynos 7884 octa-core processor, clubbed with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The phone has 13MP + 5MP dual rear cameras, 8MP selfie camera, and 4000 mAh capacity battery.
The Galaxy A20e is expected to be a watered-down model of the Galaxy A20 and hence, the pricing will also be cheaper than the A20. However, the phone's specifications have not been revealed yet but it will have a smaller display than the A20.

Game-based learning is a big subject, and you could go broad, or you could go deep. It means very different things to very different people. I'm thinking about just one facet of it, gaining an introduction to computer science and computational thinking through the design of games.
Before we go any further, we need to do some disambiguation.
This is not gamification. Gamification is the application of game techniques in non-game environments. It is used as an extrinsic motivator in regular courseware, and it usually takes the form of points, a leaderboard, and badges. It may be used in more subtle ways, like upvoting in forums and a reward for best post.
Nor am I talking about fully-worked strategy games like Civilization, or fast action multi-player games, not in this article. Creating games like these is at a level of human achievement second only to building a railway through the jungle.
What I am talking about is scrolling platform games, like Super Mario, and top-down adventures, explorations, and simulations. The emphasis is on storytelling, and there are strong links to the curriculum. Using a web application such as Gamefroot, which supports block coding, students can start from a young age exploring the wonderful sense of agency that happens when you tell computers what to do.
In this initial sketch the scoping exercise is done. It is easy, for example, to draw a robotic arm for manipulating rock samples, but to animate and code it would truly be a mission into deep space. Note that the learner is starting to consider the forces acting on the rocket: gravity, weight, and drag and the thrust that will be needed to overcome them. Graphic by Stephen Lowe, all rights reserved.
In the future everyone will not be a computer programmer. So what is the point of students learning coding at school?
Edsger Dijkstra, the revered matua of computer programming, is famous for saying, "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." What he was trying to say is that Computer Science is a way of thinking, a lens through which to understand the world. Living in a world where even your wristwatch is a computer, where robots do factory jobs, and driverless taxis take us across town it has to be important to have this Computational Thinking lens in your kete. It's the new literacy.
Isn't Computational Thinking just a buzz word for mental arithmetic?
I'd be the first person to lament the passing of mental arithmetic. It's a skill, a knack, that was distributed through all layers of our society in a time when we still carried notes and coins in our purses and calculators were heavy mechanical devices. Take the slide-rule, a more portable calculator of the recent past. For an engineer or a navigator to use a slide rule they had to know the order of the answer before they started, the slide rule merely filled in the detail. Shop assistants working the till could do mental gymnastics at light speed. Gone. Now the domain of eccentric hobbyists.
Computational thinking is a different animal altogether. It's about decomposition, abstraction, algorithm design, and pattern recognition. When we do stuff like that, far from weakening our brains, we start to see the world in a whole different way. Seeing things in a different way is one of the most important things we as humans can learn, because it gives us what we need to adapt and survive.
Game-based learning as it might be practiced in schools today stands on firm foundations. Surprisingly perhaps, it is neither new, nor is it experimental.
Seymour Papert's book Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas was published in 1980. That's forty years ago. In the foreword Papert refers to the transitional object. That's what the sprites in the game become, objects that embody higher and more abstract concepts. Objects to think with.
Mitchell Resnick, who was a student of Papert, started Computer Clubhouse in 1993. This free after school club instantiated Papert's thesis of social constructionism. Today it has matured into The Clubhouse Network "where young people from underserved communities work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop new skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology". It is a worldwide network with nodes in eighteen countries.
Sugata Mitra is best known for his Hole in the Wall Project in 1999. It has come in for quite a bit of criticism, but personally I buy into it. The gist of it is that, left to get on with it, children learn naturally. The role of the teacher changes, providing the learners with a safe environment, resources, and encouragement. Game-based education has elements of MIE (Minimally Invasive Education) and SOLE (Self Organised Learning Environments). This is in keeping with modern trends in education where children are afforded greater agency.
Here the final artwork has been completed. Fully saturated colours have been chosen, and some of the finer detail dropped to create a pleasing cartoon representation of a rocket. Note that the learner has had to explore the genre and will have tested their colour scheme against intended backgrounds. Graphic by Stephen Lowe, all rights reserved.
So what are these transitional objects called sprites and where do you get them?
Sprites are the actors in a game. In a gaming world an object like a planet or a rock might be as much an actor as is a rocket or a cosmonaut. Learners drag objects from a library onto the stage, at which point they become sprites. Scripts are attached to them to cause them to do things like move, interact with other sprites, and interact with the scene. The scene is made up of tiles. Learners can use ready-made collections of objects, or they can draw their own according to the time they have available, their level of study, and their aptitude.
What are the powerful ideas, the higher and more abstract concepts?
So, it's pretty easy to understand that you can attach scripts, and tell your rocket to move. But let's extend this just a little bit and see where it goes. Assume in the first place you want to escape Earth's gravity. How much thrust will you need, and for how long? The space shuttle needed 1.2 million pounds of thrust for 6 minutes to reach orbit at 17,000 miles per hour. Now do you see where this is going? How this meshes with STEM?
Let us now visit three planets, each with a different gravity to Earth. We want gentle landings and successful escape from their gravitational fields. This simulation, with some timely prompts from a game-savvy teacher, will cover Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths. It's going to be fun. But it's going to be "hard fun", a term Papert himself used.
And the higher and more abstract concepts, what about them? Computational Thinking, as we explored earlier, is not just maths. Computational Thinking is about how to think and how to solve problems. It's about Decomposition, Abstraction, Algorithm design, and Pattern recognition. The meat in tomorrow's sandwich.
While Gamefroot comes with a good library of game objects there is something satisfying about drawing your own. Gamefroot is about learning coding, but it can be about creating game art too. Note that in the attached script values are assigned to the concepts of gravity, thrust, acceleration, and drag. Experimenting with the balance of these values will affect the behaviour of the rocket. Graphics by Stephen Lowe and Gamefroot, all rights reserved.
I hope the argument I have presented here helps in the challenge to convince sceptical parents that games-based learning is not an ill-defined liberal whim, but a well-established pedagogy standing on solid foundations of research and practice.
Working with individual students to move them from fun to hard fun will sometimes be a challenge, but in many cases will be surprisingly easy. The joy of the games-based learning approach is that each learner will be able to perform to the best of their ability scaffolded by a framework that really knows no bounds.
Teachers will face challenges. It is important to remember that you do not have to keep one click ahead of the kids, you can happily let them overtake you in that respect. If this aspect of game-based learning is stressing you I suggest you follow the links I offered earlier to Sugata Mitra's work.

Chris Wilder's transfer plea over problem position as five players cannot plug O'Connell hole
The need for a Jack O'Connell replacement was clear before the last window shut, but Saturday's team selection highlighted how much a mistake it was to not bring in cover during the last transfer window
Chris Wilder speaks to Sheffield United CEO Stephen Bettis. (Image: Peter Powell/Getty Images)
Chris Wilder says Saturday's team selection for the match at West Brom further emphasised the need for a new defender in January.
The Blades boss handed a surprise league debut to Kean Bryan at left centre back, after injuries to Enda Stevens and Ethan Ampadu further depleted the options available for United's big problem position.
In fairness to the 24-year-old, Bryan did very little wrong in the game, but didn't look the answer to the problem.
He had featured just four times in cup matches since arriving from Manchester City in the summer of 2018 and became the fifth player to feature in that position this season.
Wilder has used six different combinations in the back three to try and fill the huge void left by Jack O'Connell's injury but is yet to settle on one that looks capable of solving the issue.
There was a fear not bringing in a player in the last window could come back to haunt them.
Wilder tried for Huddersfield's Terence Kongolo, who moved to Fulham, and there was also an enquiry made for Preston's Ben Davies but not followed up with a bid.
Manchester United's Marcos Rojo was a player offered to the club on loan, but concerns about his history of injuries and the fact he hadn't played since November, 2019, meant he looked like he had the potential to be an expensive mistake.
In the end, no player arrived and Wilder says they have to now get it right in January.
"Yeah, 100%," he said.
"I have made my thoughts clear about what we should have done or tried to do in the window.

"That's gone, we have to move on and battle through it.
"Losing Jack, everyone knows what he brings to the football club.
"It's been a problem position for us.
"We have now played five players in that position.
"In an ideal world I would not have made that many changes. The form of one or two players there should have done a lot better, more consistently.
"Ethan would have started but he failed a fitness test towards the end of the week."
Wilder revealed recently to Yorkshire Live that discussions have taken place with clubs and agents over possible targets and that a shortlist has been drawn up.
He has three options available to him. An overseas loan, domestic loan or permanent transfer.

Christopher Barry, a former vice president of R&D at drug-coated balloon catheter manufacturer Lutonix, Inc. (now a part of C.R. Bard), pled guilty to felony charges of stealing trade secrets from the company. The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the guilty plea on Tuesday. The case came to light following an investigation by the FBI, the criminal investigation division of the IRS and the United States Postal Inspection Service.
At Lutonix Barry was responsible for R&D, quality assurance and manufacturing for the company and was directly involved in the development of the company's drug-coated balloon, which the DOJ called "an extremely valuable proprietary DBC" in its announcement of Barry's plea. He served in his role at Lutonix from 2007 until May 2015. Barry left Lutonix to serve as CEO of start-up Urotronic, which was also founded by a former Lutonix employee.
Barry, 46, was convicted on 1 count of theft of trade secrets.

"The Oregon Department of Corrections is committed to preventing sexual misconduct involving employees and the people in our care and custody; and take decisive action when allegations are brought forward," DOC director Colette S. Peters said. "When DOC's Inspector General's Office and the leadership at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility received a tip about Alberts' criminal behavior, the agency immediately acted by launching an internal investigation and contacting state and federal law enforcement."
Accounts of drug smuggling, sexual abuse
According to DOC officials, Alberts began to have illegal interactions with a woman incarcerated at Coffee Creek in 2019.
He smuggled multiple cell phones into the prison, so the woman could secretly use them to communicate with him and others outside the institution. He also had sexual intercourse with her, officials said.
Two inmates are suing the Oregon Department of Corrections, top prison officials and several corrections officers for more than $10 million, accusing officials of allowing Alberts — and other prison staff and corrections officers — to sexually abuse the women.
The two civil rights lawsuits were filed in July and August in federal court.
The two inmates involved in the lawsuits are serving lengthy sentences for their roles in separate, unrelated murders.
Both women gave accounts of being preyed upon and sexually abused by Alberts. The lawsuits also name several prison staff and other corrections officers, some of whom have been placed on administrative leave or fired.
How Richard Alberts trafficked drugs
Alberts smuggled methamphetamine, OxyContin pills and heroin into the facility with the intent to distribute them to inmates, officials said.
On June 3, 2019, Alberts and a co-defendant, Joseph Lucio Jimenez, 28, of Gresham, planned to meet in Legacy Emanual Medical Center parking lot, so Jimenez could provide Alberts with heroin.
Alberts and Jimenez did not know each other, so the incarcerated woman at Coffee Creek helped coordinate the meeting by using her contraband cell phone to send texts and Snapchat photos to help the men find each other.
Jimenez is a convicted felon previously arrested on attempted murder, weapons, domestic violence assault and witness tampering charge, as previously reported by the Statesman Journal.
On June 4, Alberts smuggled heroin into CCCF and later provided it to an incarcerated woman, DOC officials said.
DOC investigators crack the case
A few days later, DOC investigators seized a small amount of methamphetamine and more than 6 grams of heroin from the woman.
Investigators confirmed the seized heroin was the same substance that Alberts got from Jimenez and smuggled into Coffee Creek.
Alberts was placed on administrative leave without pay from DOC on June 6.
He and Jimenez were indicted on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and two counts of distribution of heroin.
Jimenez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances Sept. 23.
"This corrections officer selfishly abused his position of trust and in doing so, endangered the lives of vulnerable inmates fighting for their own sobriety," United States Attorney Billy J. Williams said. "Instead of protecting the inmates, he exploited them."

Bruins Sign Lee Stempniak; Place On Waivers For Purpose Of Assignment
by Boston Bruins @NHLBruins / Boston Bruins
BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, February 24, that the team has signed forward Lee Stempniak to a one-year contract through the remainder of the 2018-19 season worth an average annual value of $650,000. The team has placed Stempniak on waivers for purpose of assignment to Providence.
Stempniak has practiced periodically with the Bruins during the 2018-19 season and recently joined the Providence Bruins on a PTO. The 36-year-old winger has tallied two goals and two assists for four points in four AHL games with the club.
Stempniak has played 13 seasons in the NHL with 10 different teams. In 909 games played in his career, he has scored 203 goals and tallied 266 assists for 469 points. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound right-winger signed with the St. Louis Blues ahead of the 2005-06 season. His sophomore season in 2006-07 was the most prolific of his NHL career, scoring 27 goals and recording 52 points while playing on a line with David Backes and Jay McClement. He was traded to Toronto on November 24, 2008 for Alexander Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo. After two seasons with the Maple Leafs, Stempniak was sent to Arizona on March 3, 2010 in exchange for Matt Jones and the Coyotes' fourth (later traded to Washington - Capitals selected Philipp Grubauer) and seventh-round picks (later traded to Edmonton - Oilers selected Kellen Jones) in the 2010 NHL Draft. That month, he earned NHL Player of the Month honors for scoring 13 goals in 13 games. The following season he recorded 19 goals and 38 points in 82 games with the Coyotes before he was dealt to Calgary for Draymond Langkow in 2011. He spent almost three full seasons with the Flames before joining the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets and New Jersey Devils for short periods of time from 2014-16. The Boston Bruins acquired him from the Devils on February 29, 2016 for a 2016 fourth-round (Evan Cormier) and a 2017 second-round pick (later traded to San Jose - Sharks selected Mario Ferraro). He appeared in 13 games (three goals, seven assists) with the Bruins at the end of the 2015-16 season before spending the last two seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes. He has appeared in 28 playoff games in his career, scoring three goals and tallying three assists.
The Seneca, New York native was selected in the fifth round (148th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.

The RAF March:
"Time to get up Bobby! We are going to the Biggin Hill Airshow today."
His parents, Sid and Dorothy, were already up. "Dolly" cooking Sid his breakfast in the tiny galley kitchen.
Dolly.
Bobby had long before avoided his mum's cooking and started a life time devotion to Shredded Wheat. It was 1955. Just fifteen years after the Battle of Britain. Bobby was 11. His mum and dad both 56. It must have been a shock to find themselves parents again in 1944. Back then, times had been really hard. Sid had been too young for the First World War. Too old for the Second. And yet he worked right through that war as a tool setter in KLG's factory at Roehampton. Making parts for Rolls-Royce and the famous Merlin engine. The factory was attacked on occasion. Sid never had a car and cycled a few miles each way from Brocks Drive, North Cheam. He had seen the Battle of Britain above his head. Seen the V1 "Doodlebug" flying bombs aimed at London. Witnessed stray bombs blowing up and killing neighbours. Throughout his adult life he had coped with a profound limp. The result of a childhood accident.
This picture means so much to Bobby. He can vividly recall his dad walking with that severe limp. This is Ryde, Isle of Wight a few years later. Mum dressed for the British summer.
Sid loved all things mechanical. Steam engines, buses, boats. But most of all he loved planes. In those days, Britain was a major player in aviation and he was immensely proud of that.
"Hurry up Bobby. The bus goes at 8.15. I've made your picnic." (Hovis sandwiches with apricot jam, Lyons individual fruit pie, Penguin biscuit. Not a phenomenal memory, but the same picnic every time!) And off they went. A hyperactive young lad and an ageing father. Sid who instilled in Bobby and big brother Tony a lifetime of thrills in the mechanical world. For both, steam trains were the start. Tony move onto ships. Bobby onto aircraft.
725 Green line Coach. Full Route Windsor to Gravesend. An early "M25" sub-orbital route.
The bus was on time. A Green Line coach on the 725 route that would take them to Bromley in about an hour. From there, it was the 410 green double decker, augmented by dozens of extra buses, that took them to the airfield.
An RT bus on the 410. Green.
Heading for the static park to see which planes would be there. Buying a programme to see what was planned for the flying display. Many of the planes flying from one aerodrome to another. It was quite unlike the Airshows of today. Far less organisation. Planes flying much closer to the crowd than nowadays. Some lengthy gaps at times if a plane didn't turn up. And it was free. Basically… "Come and see what a marvellous service the RAF is… and join".
The Dambusters March:
The Programme (excerpts)
"Home Service". Like most of his era, Bobby's parents didn't have a television. The radio was their world.
Although it celebrated the Battle of Britain, the Airshow was the RAF opening its bases to the general public for just one day. And was therefore "AT HOME".
THE FLYING DISPLAY.
This was the main reason for buying the programme and eagerly read as we had no idea what it would consist of. Our apologies for the small print that will reveal to you a cornucopia of fifties aeroplanes. (Click on picture for larger version.)
THE STATIC AIRCRAFT DISPLAY.
The closest you would ever get to those magnificent machines.
Recruitment. There's a career here for you.
The NAAFI paying tribute to the "few" just fifteen years later.
The "At Home" days were the Benevolent Funds main money raiser.
Boring?…. I don't think so! Bobby only discovered vital information in 2020!
And here it is.
Unbelievable, by today's events and obsession with recording everything possible. Photography was banned. Hand your camera in at the Guard Room. Biggin Hill was still an operational fighter base then. Many of the state of the art aircraft still had secrets for the outside world. And maybe the RAF was a little nervous. It didn't last. And didn't matter to Sid and Bobby. They only had a box camera between them that took just eight pictures on a roll film. Bobby still has many family pictures taken with that camera a long time ago. In a shoe box. But useless for an Airshow.
It's too long ago to remember all the details, but there were some unforgettable moments. Britain was constantly developing new and experimental aircraft. We held the world speed record on a number of occasions. We needed test pilots who were heroes. Both during the war and after. We had two of the most famous of all. Mike Lithgow and Neville Duke . Mike flying the Supermarine Swift. Neville the Hawker Hunter. Both had held the world speed record. Both that day out to impress. Out of a clear blue sky, Lithgow put the Swift into a shallow dive. Faster and faster he dropped towards the airfield. To this very day Bobby can still remember the weird sensation of a plane flying so fast it had left sound behind it. Soaring up into heavens, the noise came a few seconds later and a big bang. He had broken the bleedin' sound barrier. Later, not to be outdone, Neville Duke took off and he too broke the sound barrier.
Hawker Hunter.
Supermarine Swift.
Never again. We can't remember exactly, but think that it was breaking the sound barrier at Farnborough that was the last straw. The windows and greenhouses of Kent paid testament to those extraordinary gung-ho days. There were formations. All three V Bombers. Even a Sunderland Flying Boat. And it all ended in spectacular fashion with Meteors attacking the airfield with lots of big bangs and flashes.
The V bombers… Vulcan, Valiant and Victor.
Hunter formation team.
Sunderland Flying Boat.
And then it was the long journey home. An enormous queue for buses that was soon dissipated, as they had laid on so many extra buses.
Sid never went again. Instead, Bobby had realised it was too much for his old dad and in any event had discovered the new love of his life. Cycling. So he cycled to Biggin Hill in 1956 at just 12 years old. Even rode down the famous Salt Box Hill with its café atop made famous in the battle.
Bobby did eventually get a camera when he went to work in 1961. And that set off a lifetime of yet another big hobby. The first time he took it to Biggin Hill it would be planes almost out of sight and still in black and white. Nevertheless, some are still unforgettable. Like this one from 1961. Taken on his Retinette 1B, which he still has with a yellow filter to enhance the clouds.
The Yellow Gnats formation team that preceded the Red Arrows.
Duxford is the place for Airshow enthusiasts nowadays, but Biggin Hill will always have the memories. They still have Airshows there, but nothing to compare with those far off days.
And here is a video of the Hardest Day.

Q: What is the easiest way to insert Thai words in an English lyx document? I am a big fan of Lyx, but find that when I want to include a few Thai words within an English document, things start getting difficult.
There are many solutions posted online, not all of which are easy to follow for non-TeX-experts like myself.  Some of the solutions appear not to work with Lyx.
What is the easiest way to insert Thai words into an English Lyx document?

A: After trying several methods, the most efficient way I have found is to do the following:
For all of the following you need to go be in Document Settings, which is in the "Document" menu.

*

*In the "LaTeX Preamble", add this:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Norasi}
\XeTeXlinebreaklocale 'th_TH'

*In the "Fonts" section, tick "Use non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)".

*In the "Output" section, Default Output format box, choose "PDF (XeTeX)".

*Press "OK".

When you click "view" or "update" document, you will now see a PDF which should show both Thai and English words correctly.

*

*This makes it easy to switch between Thai and English: no ERT is
required in the document.

*Credit for part 1 of this approach goes to this document:
http://htl10.users.sourceforge.net/Languages/TypesettingThaiWithLaTeX.pdf)

A: The same issue I had there and babel's \selectlanguage{thai} is easiest in my case.

*

*Go to Document --> Settings --> Language

*

*Set Language to Thai.

*Set Encoding to Other: Thai (TIS 620-0)

*Set Language Package to Custom and enter \usepackage[main=english,thai]{babel}

*At any part of the document where Thai words should appear, insert TeX command (Press CTRL+L) and enter \selectlanguage{thai} and change the language back to English with \selectlanguage{english}, otherwise section headings will be in Thai.

The Floating Palace
"The Floating Palace"
Season 1 Number 22-23
Heiko Drengenberg
"The Baker King" "Holiday in Enchancia"
"The Floating Palace" is a television special of the Disney Junior animated series, Sofia the First. It premiered on November 24, 2013 on the Disney Channel as part of a family night special event.
7 Goofs
Traveling across the sea aboard a ship known as The Floating Palace, Sofia is in the library reading a book when the Royal Family arrives at a cove known as Merroway Cove for a vacation. When Sofia asks if they'll meet any mermaids, Roland and Admiral Hornpipe both tell her mermaids are not real. Also accompanying the royal family is Cedric, who is out on another scheme to take over Enchancia -- only this time, he's not after the Amulet of Avalor. Instead, he's in search of an enchanted comb known as the Mermaid Comb of Merroway Cove, that gives whoever possesses it the power to harness the ocean. He takes a boat to a cave and transforms himself into a sea monster and Wormwood into a squid.
Sofia and Clover meet Oona.
Meanwhile, Sofia meets up with Clover and heads down to the swimming platform. Once there, they spot a mermaid who gets trapped in a net. Sofia pulls her onto the platform and helps her get untangled. Once free, Sofia introduces herself to the mermaid who introduces herself as Oona and the two girls become fast friends. Oona is amazed by the Floating Palace which was why she came up to get a closer look. She notices Sofia's amulet glowing and when she asks her about it, Sofia tells Oona it's enchanted. Oona tells her that the comb she's wearing is enchanted as well, but doesn't know what its powers are because her mother refuses to tell her stating that she's not old enough yet. After she gets back in the water, Oona discovers her fin was injured by the net. Sofia takes off her shoes so she can get in the water and help her. The moment her feet makes contact with the water, she transforms into a mermaid. Remembering the glow her new friend saw earlier and the amulet's rule, Sofia tells Oona her amulet gives her special powers when she does good deeds. Since she helped her when she was in trouble, her amulet blessed her with the ability to transform into a mermaid. All this makes Sofia squeal with joy as she happily hops into the water. She drifts down a few fathoms until she opens her eyes and squeals "This is incredible!" and starts swimming at lightning speed before returning to the surface. With the use of her new abilities, Sofia helps Oona swim home. Meanwhile, Clover meets a seagull named Farley who tries to make off with a bag of blueberries that Clover marked as his lunch. A battle erupts between them that causes the blueberries to get spilled overboard and gets them both stuck in a lifesaver.

Meanwhile, Sofia takes Oona to the bottom of the cove and all the sights make Sofia squeal with delight. The two girls enter a shipwreck that Oona uses as her hideaway. Suddenly, a seahorse appears and calls out for Oona who tries to hide Sofia. She tells Sofia that seahorse is her friend Sven who gets very suspicious around strangers. Sven finds the two girls and then asks Oona about where she's been and who her new friend is, stating he hasn't seen her in the cove before. Oona says Sofia is visiting from another colony and when she hurt her fin she helped her get back. When he hears this, Sven panics and says Oona needs to see the doctor right away just as an older mermaid shows up. After being told about Oona's hurt fin, the mermaid proceeds to examine her fin: It turns out her injury is so minor it can be treated with some moon kelp. Oona introduces Sofia to the mermaid who happens to be her big sister Cora, who was sent by their mother to check on her. After Cora bandages her fin and leaves, Oona begins to moan about how her sister treats her like a merbaby, which Sofia understands completely as she knows how it feels. Then, Sofia asks where the other merfolk live and Oona and Sven give her a tour of the cove.
Unbeknownst to Sofia, she and Oona are being watched by Sea Monster Cedric and Wormwood the Squid who recognize Oona's comb as the item they seek. When he spots Sofia, he is shocked because he knows she will ruin his chances of getting the comb. Suddenly, the Floating Palace appears from above and Cora shows up to tell Oona their mother wants them back at the castle. Sofia follows the two mermaids to the coral castle where she meets their mother, Queen Emmaline of Merroway Cove and her chief advisor, Plank. It turns out that the merfolk think humans are dangerous because many years ago, a ship entered the cove and tried to capture one of the colony's inhabitants and most of its people were hurt. Plank proposes that Queen Emmaline move the ship from the cove by conjuring a storm with her Trident. Cora is the only one who supports this decision but Sven and Queen Emmaline view the plan as too reckless and irresponsible because it might sink the ship. Knowing her family is on that ship, Sofia is immediately against this plan and insists on a peaceful alternative. She tells Plank and Queen Emmaline that she will go up and persuade them to move the ship. When Queen Emmaline and Plank both ask her how she would do that since they think she's a mermaid, Sofia reveals she's actually a human and the ship belongs to her family to the shock of the entire mercolony except for Oona, who knew the whole time. When Plank and Cora start acting negatively towards Sofia, both Oona and Sven swim forward and defend her by telling everyone how Sofia helped Oona when she was hurt. Sofia gives the Mermaid Queen her word that she will get the ship to leave, with Queen Emmaline ordering that the Floating Palace never returns to Merroway Cove again, and sadly bids Oona farewell before leaving. Oona goes after Sofia and apologizes for how everyone acted. Sofia tells Oona the only thing she's upset about is that she'll never see her again and gives her a loving hug before sadly continuing to head back to the ship.
Just then, trouble erupts for both girls. As Oona starts to head back home, Sea Monster Cedric appears and attacks her. Sofia hears Oona calling for help and dives back into the ocean to help her. Oona heads into the kelp forest but gets ambushed by Wormwood the Squid and Cedric captures her. Sofia finally arrives in the kelp forest and calls out for Oona but to no avail. Realizing the monster must've kidnapped Oona, Sofia heads back to tell Queen Emmaline what happened. Unfortunately, Plank doesn't believe her and accuses her family of kidnapping Oona and urges Queen Emmaline to use her trident to conjure a massive storm that will sink the Floating Palace. Convinced that Plank is right, despite Sofia's pleas, Queen Emmaline gives Sofia until sundown to return her daughter or she'll use her trident to do as Plank suggested. Sven goes after Sofia because he could tell she was telling the truth the whole time. On the ship, it turns out the royal family hasn't even noticed that Sofia is gone and are only just now noticing but they all assume that she's in her room finishing her book. When Sofia gets back on board, she heads to her family and tells them about Oona's kidnapping and her mother's threat to sink the Floating Palace. Unfortunately they don't believe her and with no one else to turn to Sofia now believes its up to her and her animal friends to find and rescue Oona before it's too late. She frees Clover and Farley from the lifesaver and instructs the seagull to take to the skies and look for Oona. He finds her locked in a cage on the monster's boat and goes back to tell Sofia, Sven, and Clover. The four of them find the cave and find out the monster knows magic and wants Oona's comb. Sofia tries to rescue her but the sea monster is too powerful for her and she fails. Meanwhile, Queen Emmaline gets tired of waiting for Oona to come back and uses her trident to conjure a storm to sink the Floating Palace.

Sofia notices the storm in the distance and finally feels like all hope is lost: She failed to rescue Oona and knows the second the monster gets her comb there will be no telling what he'll do to her mermaid friend and her family will be drowned for a crime they never committed. Sven suggests going back to tell Emmaline they found Oona, but Sofia refuses stating that she won't believe her, and pretty much gives up and sadly cries. Suddenly, Sofia's amulet begins to glow summoning Princess Ariel. She tells Sofia she still has a chance to save Oona by enlisting Cora to help by showing her that she cares about Oona as much as Cora does. Soon after Ariel vanishes after completing her task of boosting Sofia's morale, Sofia manages to convince Cora to help her and the two Princesses head off to the rescue while Sven and his family go to stop Queen Emmaline. Meanwhile, Queen Emmaline is about to turn the storm into a typhoon when Sven and his family intervene. With the trident in their possession, they lead Emmaline and Plank to where Oona is being held. With Sofia and Cora working together, they successfully rescue Oona and defeat the sea monster with the power of Oona's comb. The two mermaids are reunited with their mother who apologizes to Sofia for her rashness and, using the trident, stops the storm. While she does this, she is seen by Sofia's family and Admiral Hornpipe forcing them to realize that Sofia was right all along. Sofia heads back to the ship and happily reunites with her family who all apologize for not believing her. Then she takes them to meet the merfolk who all become good friends with them and Sofia and Oona are allowed to remain friends forever. Meanwhile, a defeated Cedric returns to the Floating Palace and turns himself and Wormwood back to normal.

The Disney Wiki has a collection of images and media related to The Floating Palace.
This is the second time a Disney Princess shows up in a special (Cinderella) and the second special of the show (Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess). There are also similarities especially between these two meetings:
Sofia covers her eyes in despair seconds before her amulet glows and a glow is seen where the summoned princess will appear.
Both state that the amulet summoned them to help.
The princesses (Sofia and the summon) take a stroll (or a swim) in both cases.
The meetings include a musical number, and both hint on what Sofia should do to set things right and the one person (Princess Amber and Cora) she should converse with to get started.
The strolls end in a doorway to a "room" where an older girl is sulking (Princess Amber and Cora).
In the last word of the musical number the summoned princess and Sofia are in the same position in both cases, with Sofia facing the doorway and the princess right behind her, hands rested on the former's shoulders and as Sofia turns round to thank her, the princess had magically disappeared leaving behind a cloud of shimmering stars.
As Sofia meets the girl, they respond negatively at first until Sofia declares her mission to her. Both missions also involve a confrontation with Cedric or at least Wormwood with both girls working together.
This is the second time Sofia undergoes a magical transformation. In "Cedric's Apprentice", she became a lizard.
This is the second time Sofia strengthens ties between her family and supernatural creatures. Before, it was the trolls in the episode "Let the Good Times Troll".
Ariel is the fourth Disney Princess to assist Sofia.
The first was Cinderella in Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess.
The second was Jasmine in "Two to Tangu".
The third was Belle in "The Amulet and the Anthem".
Ariel is the first princess to not to be seen in her redesign as she was in her mermaid form.
When Oona asks what kind of animal Clover is, he says "I'm a Blue Ribbon Bunny", a reference to the song and the seventh episode.
Oona, in many ways, is similar to Sofia. Both are princesses who are the youngest members of a royal family, possess an enchanted object which gives them magical powers and have animal friends.
This is the third time we see Cedric's true evil side instead of his usual bumbling silliness. The first was in "The Amulet and the Anthem" and the Second was in "Princess Butterfly".
This is the second episode where Cedric doesn't go after the Amulet, the first episode was "Tea for Too Many".
Cedric undergoes a magical transformation for the first time in the series and so does Wormwood.
This is Cedric's last appearance in the first season.
This is the first episode where James is seen shirtless.
Oona is the only one Sofia tells the truth about her amulet.
Oona and Sven are the only ones who know the truth of Sofia's Amulet. Queen Emmaline, Plank, Cora, and the other merfolk are aware of Sofia's powers but not the source.
This is the second time Sofia's amulet grants her a blessing. The first was Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess.
Sofia gains the ability to transform into a mermaid and back. This is the first time she has used this ability.
Sofia is almost forced to reveal the truth about her amulet to her family but she is able to avoid it when she gets the idea to ask Clover for help.
This is the only special so far that does not take place in Enchancia.
Baileywick is revealed to be prone to sea sickness.
This episode shows how inattentive the Royal Family is with Sofia and therefore why they are oblivious to the fact that she has powers.
When Sofia gets underwater she says: "It's a whole new world under the sea!", which is a reference to songs from Aladdin and The Little Mermaid.
This is the first time Kiernan Shipka, Darcy Rose Byrnes, and Zach Callison voice together in a episode since The Legend of Korra episode "The Revelation": Kiernan Shipka voiced Jinora, Darcy Rose Byrnes voiced Ikki, and Zach Callison voiced Skoochy.
Moral: Problems can be solved if both sides work together.
Before becoming a mermaid for the first time, Sofia takes off her shoes through her gown.

Zineb (@travelwithzineb) reveals the challenges and beauty of traveling alone as a woman in Morocco.
Ever wondered why travel can be exclusive to a certain category of people? Have you dreamed of all the amazing destinations these people can afford while you scroll down on your Instagram feed and cry over the perfect settings, lights and landscapes influencers display on their accounts? Who said you can't do the same and while on a limited budget! Once you change your travel mindset, you will find out about all the amazing possibilities and you'll discover that the internet will allow you to delve into how to save more, travel more and essentially do it your own way.
As an African woman, I started nurturing my passion for travel since birth, I guess. I still remember how excited my siblings and I were to pack into our tiny family car to hit the road up to the Northern coast of Morocco. As I grew up, major financial problems occurred and suddenly, all the travels stopped. I then figured out that my dreams can be bigger, brighter and crazier than what my family could afford. That's when I realized that the only way to get where I wanted be was to work out my plans and my travel cravings around something else, and it was not about the money. It was the unlimited opportunities and ways that are displayed on the internet like Couchsurfing, Facebook and Airbnb.
I started to dig into these possibilities and I found out that I can actually travel with really limited means. From friends who are willing to host, to people who are being generous and helpful along the way, I was finally collecting valuable memories. The backpacking travel style was the starting point and is still my favorite way to roam the world.
But, because there is always a "but" to things, deciding to travel solo as a Moroccan African woman alone was not an easy task. You might be wondering why that is? Coming from a relatively conservative family, I met a lot of hindrances along the way. And believe me, it was not easy to stick to what I wanted to do, to convince the family and to deal with prejudices of a society that still think of women as property.
I started traveling in 2010, however, it was only in 2014 that I started traveling as a backpacker and in 2015, I tried traveling by hitchhiking. The first time I hitchhiked was in Europe where I totally felt safe. And only in 2016, I decided to give it a go in Morocco, because hey, if I can do it in Europe, why not in my home country? Ever since the desire to try did not stop growing and so, the decision was set to hit the road with a female friend of mine. It was a whole new experience and we decided to take big taxi (Moroccans will relate) then to try our first "thumbs up" on the road. We hence made our way from Fez to Errachidia by hitchhiking, then Merzouga, Tinghir, Ouarzazate, Marrakech, Essaouira, Agadir, Sidi Ifni and we ended up taking our last ride to Casablanca.
During the entire trip, we asked for the hospitality of random people we met on the road or what we commonly call in Moroccan Daif Allah, the guest of God, and we used Couchsurfing or stayed at friends' places. Since then, I have been feeling confident about hitchhiking as a woman traveler especially in Morocco and by extension in the Middle East or in Africa in general. I tried it in other countries like Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, and I can say that it has been a wonderful experience on several levels and I am thinking to go for other countries the same way.
The idea of traveling solo is not new and I am certainly not the first woman who has done it. Of course, life is made of risks and one has to be cautious. Life is meant to be lived just once and you have to take risks while doing it. Either you take it all or you leave it all to other to badass people to take advantage.
Traveling alone as a woman in a country such as Morocco is definitely challenging, both for the traveler and for the society. When you hit the road and you wait for hours on the side of the road to get picked in the middle of nowhere of "deep Morocco," you can't escape from the wondering looks and whispering of men and women who see you as an alien with your backpack and your hair in the air. A solo woman traveler in Morocco and in Africa, in general, embodies freedom and bravery, all of what our traditional societies cannot accept overnight. Simply because you are a woman and you are vowed to gender-based qualifications, many feel that traveling alone does not belong.
Change starts from here. When you see more and more girls grabbing their backpacks, tents and sleeping bags to go give life a try, my hope is that a revolutionary mindset changes and that women keep striving for what we are all meant to do.

It's not yet officially "Summer" not until the 21st of this month but come on as of June 1st we consider that swimsuit & garden sprinkler season. I am so inspired by summer already and know what lies ahead waiting for us and after a long freezing winter I am so ready!
Above photo is a Project Life divider (found here) that I wanted to experiment with and if you have been following me then you know I love to hand paint mine in some pattern, This time I went with the Alpha stickers (found here) and then painted over them. I did this to some of my journal cards & fell in love with that so here I attempted to do so on the clear acetate. It was cool timing that my husband was in the garden during this shot to symbolize "summer".
Turned out pretty darn good I think, might try to peel them off to open the letters to show through the background ... not sure yet.
On my desk right now... Right hand side of week 21 using the size F page pockets & sewn up the top left pocket to make into 3x4. Tons of journaling this week. Midnight edition and studio calico kit used.
You can tell by that hair do & no shoes she is supporting that it's "summer" around here & I couldn't be happier to see her wanting to help out with the plants and garden. Don't let that serious business face fool you she is all giggles once she is charge of the watering hose. Also side note I am loving the light and this light was about 8:30 pm ... another wonderful thing about summer!
So fun and it's only started, three weeks of school left then a BIG kick off to summer will happen at the end of this month. Right now we enjoy watering and sunsets EVERY NIGHT so so love that.
The view from my kitchen window on my iphone and no filter, nature is beyond magical!
The view from my chair on the back deck, iphone and no filter. Yes to summer skies and sunset magic.
Cheers to being inspired by Summer.


Merry Christmas! I thought that I would share with you a festive print! Art deco ladies having a lovely time skiing! I was inspired by Russian Constructivist textile prints as well as Art Deco fashion drawings! Here they meet for christmas harmony!

Dan Hardy: Leon Edwards motivated and dangerous ahead of UFC on ESPN+ 29 main event

January 29, 2020 10:40 pm ET
Leon Edwards will head into his main event battle with Tyron Woodley at UFC on ESPN+ 29 in London with a ton of motivation and a lot to gain, according to UFC analyst and former welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy.
Hardy talked to MMA Junkie backstage at the official weigh-ins for UFC 246 in Las Vegas earlier this month and gave his quick-fire take on the main event matchup set for March 21 at The O2. He said he thinks the time is perfect for Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) to step up and show the world just how good he is against former welterweight champion Woodley (19-4-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) in a five-round main event on home soil.
Hardy said the winner will deserve a title shot in his next matchup.
"Absolutely – I don't see how not, especially if it's Leon, because he's been poised for this opportunity for a long time," Hardy said.
Edwards is riding an eight-fight winning streak. His most recent three outings saw him claim decision victories over Donald Cerrone, Gunnar Nelson and former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos. Woodley will be making his first in-cage appearance since he lost the welterweight title to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 in March 2019.

The pair have been going back and forth on social media, with Edwards appearing to get under Woodley's skin when he mocked the former champ's rapping skills. Hardy said the niggling exchanges on social media only serve to add another layer of interest to an already intriguing matchup.
"I think the timing's right because at this point, they're both annoyed – there's needle between the two of them," he said. "So I just think it's going to add a bit of spice and a bit of flavor to the fight. I think it's going to allow Leon to come out of his shell a little bit more and for the fans to see the kind of person and the kind of fighter he really is. He's not reached his potential yet, and I think this could be the fight that would help him to do that."
Woodley's mission is clear: Head into enemy territory, snap Edwards' winning streak and catapult himself right back into title contention. He also has a history of halting the charge of surging Brits, Hardy said.
"Tyron Woodley's a very dangerous fighter," Hardy said. "He's got that piston of a right hand. He's got a hell of a wrestling game. We saw him run through Darren Till."
That result may serve as a warning to Edwards, but Hardy also said the Birmingham man may view it as additional motivation. Both Till and Edwards were battling for top billing when the UFC came to London in March 2019. In the end, it was Till who landed the headline slot against Jorge Masvidal, while Edwards had to content himself with a co-main event bout against Icelandic grappler Nelson.
Edwards achieved the better result of the two Brits that night, and Hardy said the opportunity for "Rocky" to succeed where Till failed against Woodley may serve as additional motivation ahead of the UFC's return to England.
"I think there's an advantage for Leon to get this win over Tyron because Darren Till didn't – because there's been that animosity between him and Till before," he said. "I just think there's a lot to be gained for this for Leon, and I think that's a motivating factor for him. Leon motivated is dangerous, and I'm excited for him."

When detectives near Phoenix arrested a warehouse worker in a murder case in December, they credited a new technique. Police told suspect Jorge Molina they had data tracking his phone to the site where a man was shot nine months earlier. They made the discovery after obtaining a search warrant that required Google to provide information on all devices it recorded near the killing, potentially capturing the whereabouts of anyone in the area, the New York Times reports. Investigators also had security video of someone firing a gun from a white Honda Civic, the same model Molina owned. After he spent nearly a week in jail, the case against him fell apart. Police arrested his mother's ex-boyfriend, who sometimes used Molina's car.
The warrants draw on an enormous Google database employees call Sensorvault. It is an example of how personal information — where you go, who your friends are, what you read, eat and watch, and when you do it — is being used for purposes many people never expected. As privacy concerns have mounted, tech companies have come under scrutiny over their data collection practices. The Arizona case demonstrates the promise and perils of the new technique, whose use has risen sharply in the past six months, according to Google employees familiar with the requests. It can help solve crimes, and it can also snare innocent people. Often, Google responds to a single warrant with location information on dozens or hundreds of devices. Law enforcement officials described the method as exciting, but cautioned that it was just one tool.
Massachusetts' highest court refused Wednesday to overturn the involuntary manslaughter conviction of Michelle Carter, the woman who encouraged her boyfriend through text messages to kill himself. Conrad Roy, 18, who had a history of mental illness, killed himself in 2014.
