Q: How to set FenceWidth in logarithmic plot? Bug introduced in version 12.0 and persists in version 13.0

Mathematica 12 introduced a built-in support for logarithmic plots with error bars. A plot with default styling looks as expected:
ListLogPlot[
    Table[{i, Around[1 + Sin[i], 0.1 + 0.1 Cos[i]]}, {i, 0, 10, 1}],
    PlotRange -> {All, {0.01, 10}}
    ]

However, when I want to customize FenceWidth, this happens:
ListLogPlot[
    Table[{i, Around[1 + Sin[i], 0.1 + 0.1 Cos[i]]}, {i, 0, 10, 1.0}],
    PlotRange -> {All, {0.01, 10}},
    IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"FenceWidth" -> 0.3|>
    ]

What is a proper way to set custom FenceWidth in logarithmic plot?
How to set FenceWidth in absolute units like in default styling, when the width of fences doesn't change when the plot is resized?

A: This is clearly a bug. In addition to the weird fence shape, the scaling behavior is also changed: fence widths change when the plot is resized.
A work-around is to post-process the output to straighten the fence lines and make fence widths independent of image size:
ClearAll[repairFences]
repairFences[w_] := Replace[#,  Line[x_] /; Length[Dimensions@x] ==  3 :>
  (Line[{Offset[{-w 72 /2 , 0}, #[[1,1]]], Offset[{w 72/2 , 0}, #[[1,1]]]}]& /@
    Partition[x, 2]), All] &

llp = ListLogPlot[Table[{i, Around[1 + Sin[i], 0.1 + 0.1 Cos[i]]}, {i, 0, 10,  1.0}],
       PlotRange -> {All, {0.01, 10}},
       IntervalMarkers -> "Fences",
       IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"FenceWidth" -> .3|>
       ] ;

Row[Show[repairFences[.3] @ llp, ImageSize -> #]& /@ {200, 500}, Spacer[10]]

An alternative work-around is to remove IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"FenceWidth" -> .3|> and post-process to modify the fence lines to desired length:
llp2 = ListLogPlot[Table[{i, Around[1 + Sin[i], 0.1 + 0.1 Cos[i]]}, {i, 0, 10, 1.0}],
     PlotRange -> {All, {0.01, 10}}, IntervalMarkers -> "Fences" ]

Make fences 20 printer's points long (fence length is independent of image size):
llp2 /. Offset[{a_, _}, b_] :> Offset[{10 Sign[a] , 0}, b]

Make fences .3 user units long (fence length changes with image size):
llp2 /. Offset[{a_, _}, {b_, c_}] :> {b + .15 Sign[a], c}

You can still use IntervalMarkersStyle to style the fences:
llp3 = ListLogPlot[Table[{i, Around[1 + Sin[i], 0.1 + 0.1 Cos[i]]}, {i, 0, 10, 1.0}],
     PlotRange -> {All, {0.01, 10}},
     IntervalMarkers -> "Fences",
     IntervalMarkersStyle -> <|"FenceStyle" -> Red|>];

 llp3 /. Offset[{a_, _}, {b_, c_}] :> {b + .5 Sign[a], c}

Update: using the second approach to make a function:
ClearAll[modifyFenceWidth]
modifyFenceWidth[arg : h_[w_] | w_] := # /.  Switch[Head[arg],
     Offset, Offset[{a_, _}, b_] :> Offset[{ w  Sign[a]/2 , 0}, b],
     Real, Offset[{a_, _}, {b_, c_}] :> {b + w/2 Sign[a], c},
     Scaled, Offset[{a_, _}, {b_, c_}] :>
       {b + w Abs[Subtract @@ PlotRange[#][[1]]]/2 Sign[a], c}] &

Examples:
you can specify the fence width in user units, printer's points or as fraction of the plot width:
Row[Labeled[modifyFenceWidth[#] @ llp2,
     Style["modifyFenceWidth @ " <> ToString[#], 18], Top] & /@
   {.4, Offset @ 20, Scaled @ .1}, Spacer[10]]

Published: 13:47 Friday 05 April 2019
Murgitroyd, Scotland's only listed firm of patent and trademark attorneys, has named former ScottishPower executive Willie MacDiarmid as its deputy chairman.
He has been appointed to the board of the Glasgow-headquartered group as a non-executive director and deputy chairman with effect from the start of this month. MacDiarmid takes on the latter role from Edward Murgitroyd who became chief executive of Murgitroyd in February.
The firm described MacDiarmid as a "proven executive" with a range of public company experience in both executive and non-executive roles, chiefly in the utilities and business services sectors. His senior roles include energy retail director with ScottishPower from 1989 until 2006.
During the period 2009 to 2012 he was chief operating officer of Eaga; in 2012 a non-executive director and then chief executive of May Gurney; and in 2014 interim chief executive of Barchester Healthcare.
MacDiarmid was appointed a non-executive director of Glasgow-based Smart Metering Systems in 2014 and became chairman two years later.
Willie is currently chairman of Fallago Rigg, a joint venture between Hermes Capital and EDF Renewables, and chairman of Stirling‐based family conglomerate Ogilvie Group.
Ian Murgitroyd, chairman of Murgitroyd, said: "Willie possesses a wealth of expertise and experience and we are delighted to have been able to attract an individual with Willie's track record and credentials to join our board."

A few months back I wrote a post about 'What do people think of you?' https://lornpearsontrains.co.uk/2014/09/18/what-do-people-think-of-you/ Talking about the appraisals process in my work.
This year, it was all very positive, from others I was described as being 'calm', I 'instill calm', 'a good team player', 'efficient', 'proactive', and that they'd 'love to have lorn in a crisis with me.' And 'if I had anyone back me up, it'd be Lorn'.
…and with a good boss, I was thanked for my hard work, and asked to keep it up. 🙂 good stuff. Nice to be recognised.
How nice?! 🙂 It might just help me keep my cape on at work, and help me fly like I like to.


The situation in Ferguson Missouri could happen anywhere – and is a reoccurring theme around the nation: A young unarmed man (in this case, 18 year old Michael Brown) was killed by a police officer.
When is 'Death by Police' justifiable if a police officer kills an unarmed individual in the line of duty – and when does it become police brutality?
Too many unarmed people around the nation are dying at the hands of police. The following is a list of a few of the men who were killed by the police between 2012 and 2014.
Ramarley Graham: Police chased Mr. Graham into his Bronx, NY home on February 2, 2012, and shot him in his bathroom. The officers thought he had a weapon.
Manuel Loggins: A California Deputy Sheriff shot Loggins three times through his vehicle window on February seventh, 2012, after allegedly ordering Loggins to not return to his vehicle. Marine Sergeant Loggins was with his two daughters when he was killed.
Eric Garner: Staten Island, NY police put Mr. Garner in an illegal chokehold on July 17, 2014 while arresting him for selling cigarettes on the sidewalk. Mr. Garner allegedly told the police officers that he couldn't breathe. The officer continued the chokehold, and Mr. Garner died.
Dillon Taylor: Utah police shot the unarmed Mr. Taylor in early August, 2014 after he walked away when the officers told him to stop. Mr. Taylor, wearing headphones and listening to music, couldn't hear the officers speaking.
Michael Brown: Officer Darren Wilson shot Mr. Brown 6 times after stopping him for walking in the street in Ferguson, Missouri. The officer stated that Mr. Brown assaulted him and was rushing toward the officer when he was shot. Witness accounts vary; investigations are ongoing.
There's a significant divide between society's expectation that the police have the responsibility to 'protect and serve' – and the reality for some Americans. Police officers are supposed to keep peace and help residents when they can. However, unfortunately, some members of the police force are more focused on making arrests, issuing citations, and in some cases, exercising power through harassment or violence.
Many see police departments exercising a lack of accountability and transparency – and witness officers protecting their own – which widens the divide between the police and the community. Military-style policing, such as the riot-control measures seen in Ferguson, Missouri when riots protesting the death of Michael Brown arose, exacerbates the situation as well, encouraging the "us against them" mentality.
There are often questions by the public when what looks to us like murder is labeled as 'justifiable homicide' in the courts. This confusion can cause emotions to run high. So when is it acceptable for a police officer to kill someone while on duty? It depends on who you ask.
According to Federal Law (and the Supreme Court) lethal force is only acceptable in the defense of life (whether the threat is real or merely perceived, as with Mr. Graham, and allegedly with Mr. Brown, above) or to prevent the escape of a violent felon. Local police departments may have more strict rules – and may fire an officer who was within the realm of Federal Law, but in violation of local policies.
When there is an officer-involved homicide, there's a criminal investigation to determine whether the officer had cause, and was justified in his or her actions. Though it may seem rare, law enforcement personnel are sometimes criminally prosecuted, with one in three officers who is formally charged being convicted.
How Can You Protect Yourself From Police Brutality?
With police brutality hitting every state in America at one point or another, everyone in the United States needs to know how to conduct themselves when confronted by the police. Remember – there is a point when it stops being a matter of who is right or wrong, and becomes a matter of life and death. No one is above the law – simply surviving to tell your story may be the best option.
Respect the officer's authority, and comply with legitimate requests – but know your rights.
You have the right to record the actions of police officers, and can report inappropriate actions to the ACLU.
You have the right to remain silent to avoid incriminating yourself. Plead the 5th and say it out loud.
You have the right to refuse a search of your person , or your property (car, wallet, phone, home), if there is no warrant – But remember that the police do not need a warrant if there's probable cause.
You have the right to leave the area calmly if you are not under arrest. If you are placed under arrest, ask for an attorney.
Regardless of your immigration status, you have constitutional rights – the Fifth (right to avoid self-incrimination) and Fourteenth (right to due process) in particular.
The use of body cameras, as well as standardization of cruiser-cameras would be effective tools in an initiative to reduce both police brutality and community problems due to misconceptions or confusion. The knowledge that every move is being recorded could reduce issues in corrupt departments of 'hiding behind the badge' – as every confrontation would be recorded. Unfortunately, bureaucracy is not working, as the political and judicial systems don't always mete out justice -and when there's injustice, there are problems on all levels of society.
Although there are actions youth can take to avoid confrontations with the police, the focus needs to be on wider-reaching solutions. Everyone can work together to reduce deaths by police – whether or not they're justified in the eyes of the law.
What would you do, if you were confronted violently by someone in uniform?
So when's this going to change?We have to be respectful to the police to keep them from beating/shooting/tazing us – but won't that line just get further away with every time a peaceful citizen kowtows to a power-hungry person?

Robert Downey Jr. follows 'Avengers' costar Chris Evans in thanking superhero boy who saved sister from dog attack
ByAndrea Lans
Bridger Walker jumped into action when a dog charged toward his four-year-old sister. The dog latched on to his cheek while he shielded his sister, and Bridger is still recovering after receiving 90 stitches.
The "Avengers" are assembling to honor a 6-year-old superhero who saved his little sister from a dog attack.
Robert Downey Jr. is the latest celebrity to send well wishes to Bridger Walker, a boy who jumped into action when a dog charged toward his 4-year-old sister. The dog latched on to his cheek while he shielded his sister, and Bridger is still recovering after receiving 90 stitches.
Nicole Walker, Bridger's aunt, posted about the incident on Instagram, and his story soon went viral, garnering attention from celebrities around the world, including that Chris Evans.
Evans, known for his "Captain America" role, thanked Bridger for his bravery and promised to send the boy an authentic "Captain America" shield.
"Avengers" costar Downey Jr. must have noticed and sent Bridger a video message of his own.
"Bridger, you're a rock star," Downey Jr. said in a video Nicole posted to Instagram. "I play Tony, it makes me an old friend of Cap's."
"Iron Man" then offered to give the boy something better than a shield.
"You call me on your next birthday. I got something special for you. By the way, that's a promise. Promise beats a shield," Downey Jr. said.
Actress Anne Hathaway helped spread the word about Bridger's story and said, "I'm not an Avenger, but I know a superhero when I see one. I can only hope I'm half as brave in my life as you are in yours, Bridger. Wishing you an easeful recovery, and many cool looking rocks."
While many have inquired about a GoFundMe to support Bridger's recovery, the family has asked people to redirect their financial efforts to Bridger's favorite organizations: Mission 22, Operation Underground Railroad and The Wounded Warrior Project. However, Bridger, a geology-fanatic, will gladly accept pictures or gifts of "cool rocks," according to his aunt.
Bridger's family reported that they also received messages from Hugh Jackman, Robbie Amell, Tom Holland, Zachary Levi, the Russo brothers, Mark Ruffalo and countless other people who were inspired by the boy's story.

Poor summer weather has hit most wildlife hard but one bird of prey is thriving. Sebastian Oake looks at the red kite success story.
It's been a rotten summer for almost everything outdoors you can think of, from wheat, hay-making and apples to butterflies and bees. But one icon of the Yorkshire countryside has done its best to buck the trend – the region's red kites are flying high after a successful season despite the weather.
This year 145 young red kites were raised in Yorkshire, compared with 119 last year. And the number of breeding pairs of this majestic bird – recognised by its huge wing span and characteristic forked tail – have jumped to 92, up from 74 in 2011.
Mathematically, the number of young per successful pair may be slightly less than last year but the headline numbers outweigh that. It's news that has brightened up an otherwise gloomy summer for red kite enthusiasts like Doug Simpson MBE. He is the co-ordinator of Yorkshire Red Kites, a group funded by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust with the task of monitoring the birds and their distribution.
Doug is an acknowledged expert on birds of prey. He was awarded his MBE for work with peregrine falcons in the Dales and it was he who discovered the nest of 'celebrity' peregrines at Malham Cove, now as much a draw for visitors as the limestone scenery itself.
Over the summer, pairs of red kites have been recorded at a number of new sites in the area. Additional sightings have been made from some surprising vantage points, with the Continental Supermarket in Roundhay Road in north Leeds becoming an unlikely hot spot. It all confirms the ongoing geographical spread of the birds, made all the more remarkable when you consider that until fairly recently they were extinct in England.
Historically red kites were commonplace across Britain but around 150-200 years ago they disappeared in England and even Scotland.
But then attitudes changed. Plans were drawn up to return the red kite to its former haunts. The first releases took place in 1989 in the Chilterns and on the Black Isle near Inverness, using young birds sourced from Spain and Scandinavia.
Next they were re-established in Northamptonshire and central Scotland and in 1999 Yorkshire's turn came.
Over four years the Harewood Estate north of Leeds became the focus of a project to return them to our region, overseen by Natural England, the RSPB and Yorkshire Water.
Today the Harewood Estate is still the best place to see these kings of the sky but the Yorkshire Wolds, the Harrogate area and lower Wharfedale offer alternatives, not forgetting the food store in Leeds. There are no pairs known to be breeding in Yorkshire south of Leeds, although there are occasional sightings. The birds are reported less frequently than might be expected in areas like the Dales.
Not everyone might see this as good news, however. Not so long ago there was controversy within the pages of Country Week over claims that red kites were taking lapwing chicks. Doug Simpson accepts they do very occasionally feed on small birds but any bird book will tell you they feed mainly on carrion, in other words things that are already dead.
I saw my own first kite in the Brecon Beacons. Then five years ago, while on a walk near Henley-on-Thames in the Chilterns, I stood stock still in a field, head tilted back, gazing in wonder at a group of four or five of them.
Just a few weeks ago my partner and I were test-driving a new car from a garage in Harrogate. The salesman spent much of the time looking out of the window. "There!" he cried after a while, jabbing his finger upwards at a large shape circling above the fields ahead of us. "Can you see it?" His voice carried delight and more than a hint of Yorkshire pride. He spent the rest of the drive enthusing about the red kite rather than the car which, incidentally, we decided not to buy.
Kites have, it seems, earned a place in Yorkshire's heart. And with this year's figures showing such promising growth, many people are hoping the only way is up.
At least two Yorkshire red kites have died after being shot. X-rays showed that one was riddled with lead shot whilst the other, the male of a new breeding pair, was found dead under its nest with a pellet lodged against its spine.

Welcome to the first week of November and what a great week it was. Here's my weekly email outlining the properties you need to know about and the information that I think you should know. Never be afraid to reach out. I am here to help YOU!


Tres Montosas, a peak on U.S. 60 near Magdalena, New Mexico, September 2000; this image was made with a red filter on a 135mm f/3.5 Nikkor of 1978 vintage.
On my travel blog, I post images from all of our adventures, including some from quite long ago. The oldest in the collection is a college road trip from 1985.
In 1985, the year I got my first newspaper job, I carried a 28mm f/2.8, a 50mm f/1.2, a 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor, a 105mm f/2.5 and a 200mm f/4.
I bought this Nikkor 28mm f/3.5 used in the mid 1990s. It is an "AI" lens, which dates it as pre-1981 or so. I think I paid $75 for it. It was lightweight and amazingly sharp.
In the early years of these adventures, I had between my ears that instead of shooting these trips like I shoot news, I was just going to make "high art." Looking back, I believe this was a mistake. There's nothing wrong with attempting to be artistic, but that goal got in the way of recording the event and making memories. I made far fewer images than I probably should have.
At the time, I eschewed zoom lenses. In my defense, at that point in photographic history, zooms weren't what they have become in the 21st century.
I recall that by 1987 my kit for shooting news included these Nikkor lenses: 20mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.0, 28mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.0, a 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor, 105mm f/1.8, 180mm f/2.8, and a 300mm f/4.5. It was a pretty standard bag for a news shooter in that era. You could do a lot with it, but it was a lot of very heavy glass.
On a hiking trip in 1990, I took only one lens, a 55mm macro, thinking that I didn't want to carry all that heavy equipment on a long backpacking trip. It's a good lens, but not nearly as versatile as it needed to be.
A buddy of mine gave me this old Minolta with a Tokina 35-105mm f/3/5-4.3 zoom of 1985 vintage. I've never shot anything with it, but my guess is that it's not impressively sharp, but would have been a good choice for a trip to New York City or Denver back in the day.
I was stuck in the "prime lenses are the only lenses" paradigm for a long time. I wasn't wrong, though, since so many early zooms were junk. Still, looking back, I believe I would have been more successful with a midrange zoom than with one or two primes, particularly if I'd been able to see my goal as more about recording the moment and less about creating perfect art.
Despite having a smaller image sensor than a DSLR, the trump card of the Fuji HS30 EXR is its light weight and super-versatile 24-720mm (equivalent) lens.
My wife Abby and I came across a cattle drive in Mancos, Colorado in October. We both jumped out of the car and tried to chase it down. Abby is pictured here with her Fuji HS30 EXR, a small, light, easy to use and carry bridge/prosumer camera. It would have been close to impossible for her to use a bag full of heavy DSLR gear in a situation like this.
In 1983, I had a Sigma 28-80mm zoom for a short time. I traded it away by 1985, but sometimes I think I could have put it to good use on trips like A New York Minute in 1985 or Into the Fire in 1990, particularly since most of the images I made then were either in bright light or from a tripod, which would have allowed me to use smaller apertures, at least somewhat improving the image quality.
I guess the good news after all this hemming and hawing is that I have settled in to formula: lightweight zooms either on a digital SLR or built into a bridge/prosumer model. It's a completely different style of photographer than my daily shooting with big, heavy lenses and multiple pro cameras, but it is more fun and more productive for those occasions.
Today my favorite lens for travel is the AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G II ED. It is a compromise between image quality and versatility, but for road trips and hiking jaunts, it excels in letting me capture the moment.

Eddie Howe explains shock Newcastle United decision
Bruno Guimaraes' blunt Cristiano Ronaldo view after Newcastle United transfer links
Bruno Guimaraes has had his say on Newcastle United's transfer approach amid speculation over Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United.
16th Nov 2022, 4:37pm - 2 min read
Updated 16th Nov 2022, 4:37pm
Guimaraes signed for Newcastle in January when the club were deep in relegation trouble. Since then, an incredible turn in form has seen The Magpies avoid the drop and start the 2022-23 season brilliantly as they sit third during the World Cup break.
Both Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier joined Newcastle from top European sides in Lyon and Atletico Madrid with the club sitting 19th in the table. Despite the very real threat of relegation, both players did not seek any form of relegation clause in their contract.
And in the eyes of Guimaraes, that mentality in terms of buying into the project at Newcastle is a crucial requirement for incoming players.

"The way I agreed to come to the club was also something remarkable," the 25-year-old said. "Today anyone wants to come to Newcastle, the richest team in the world, but I arrived with the team doing bad, pointed out as virtually relegated.
"Trippier and I were the first to believe in the project, so fans have a special affection."
Newcastle 2022-23 player ratings: Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and Co ranked...
When Newcastle were first taken over last year, they were speculatively linked with moves for some of the world's top players. But rather than make any sensational big money signings, The Magpies' approach has been more measured and pragmatic as the side have continued to improve.
Still, that hasn't stopped big names being linked with potential moves to the club. Earlier this week, reports emerged that Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes had spoken to Newcastle regarding a potential January move.
The Portuguese icon is seeking an exit from Manchester United after falling out of favour at the club. The 37-year-old has criticised the club and its owners in a revealing interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
But Guimaraes namechecked Ronaldo – as well as his Brazil team-mate Neymar – as the type of players Newcastle aren't looking to sign at the moment.
"I think Newcastle need players with that mentality, it's not about signing everyone just because they have money," he added. "It's not bringing Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe. It's not like this."

Q: ionic 4, page transition hangs due to http call on ngOnInit im building a app in ionic 4. when navigating from one page to another it is not going really fluent.
Im using routerLink="/make-order/{{item.name}}" routerDirection="forward" to go forward to the next page. On this (next) page in the ngOnInit function i do some http calls to get data. The problem is that this has effect on the page transition. its not fluent it hangs till data is loaded. How can i fix this?

A: I have 2 ideas for workarounds:
1st you could move the init code to a different (later) Angular lifecycle hook.
https://angular.io/guide/lifecycle-hooks#lifecycle-examples
Possibly AfterView or AfterContent
Or using Ionic's hooks: ionViewWillEnter, ionViewDidEnter, ionViewWillLeave, and ionViewDidLeave
2nd you could add a delay to the observable using the delay operator.
https://www.learnrxjs.io/operators/utility/delay.html
This should allow the transition to finish before making the request.
Further research:
I found this from the Ionic docs
Lifecycle Events
With V4, we're now able to utilize the typical events provided by Angular. But for certain cases, you might want to have access to the events fired when a component has finished animating during it's route change. In this case, the ionViewWillEnter, ionViewDidEnter, ionViewWillLeave, and ionViewDidLeave have been ported over from V3. Use these events to coordinate actions with Ionic's own animations system.

Older events like ionViewDidLoad, ionViewCanLeave, and ionViewCanEnter have been removed, and the proper Angular alternatives should be used.

For more details, checkout the router-outlet docs

Q: No module named 'zope.deprecation' with simple hello world pyramid app I am trying to learn how to deploy a pyramid app to AWS (Elastic Beanstalk), and I am taking it step by step, but I am stuck. I am using the hello world app in order to keep it simple, but I am getting the following error and I don't know why:
[Mon Feb 20 18:08:33.477650 2017] [:error] [] mod_wsgi (pid=2811): Target WSGI script '/opt/python/current/app/application.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.

[Mon Feb 20 18:08:33.479213 2017] [:error] [] ImportError: No module named 'zope.deprecation'

Code that I am trying to deploy is below. I uploaded this via the console.
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.response import Response

def hello_world(request):
    return Response('Hello %(name)s!' % request.matchdict)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    config = Configurator()
    config.add_route('hello', '/hello/{name}')
    config.add_view(hello_world, route_name='hello')
    application = config.make_wsgi_app()
    server = make_server('', 8000, application)
    server.serve_forever()

Steps I have taken:
SSH'ed into the instance and installed pyramid via

sudo /opt/python/run/venv/bin/pip install pyramid

Checked pip freeze and it is present and in the correct venv
(venv)[ec2-user@ ~]$ pip list
hupper (0.4.2)
PasteDeploy (1.5.2)
pip (7.1.2)
pyramid (1.8.2)
repoze.lru (0.6)
setuptools (18.4)
translationstring (1.3)
venusian (1.0)
WebOb (1.7.1)
zope.deprecation (4.2.0)
zope.interface (4.3.3)

(venv)[ec2-user@ ~]$ pip --version
pip 7.1.2 from /opt/python/run/venv/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages(python 3.4)

I've tried to invoke the module from python directly without success
(venv)[ec2-user@ ~]$ python
Python 3.4.3 (default, Sep  1 2016, 23:33:38)
[GCC 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from zope.deprecation import deprecation
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'zope.deprecation'
>>>

Interestingly, help('modules') doesn't show it, but it does show pyramid.
I've also tried to install it directly. The module is in /opt/python/run/venv/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages.
I am out of ideas, and I am tempted to ditch this approach and try the EB CLI.
This sounds like I am missing something really obvious. Also, since this is a simple one file script I don't have a setup.py to run.
Other things I have tried:

*

*Blow away the entire app and try again.

*Tried Pyramid 1.7 and zope.deprecation 4.1.2 on a new app.

*Tried using a requirements.txt file.

One of the last steps have made python able to recognize zope.deprecation. App still doesn't work as it is back to

Target WSGI script '/opt/python/current/app/application.py' does not contain WSGI application 'application'.

Not sure if this is progress or not.
UPDATE
GOT IT WORKING. I think the secret was rolling back versions, adding a requirements.txt, and changing the location of the application variable in application.py.
application.py now looks like
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
from pyramid.config import Configurator
from pyramid.response import Response

def hello_world(request):
    return Response('Hello %(name)s!' % request.matchdict)

config = Configurator()
config.add_route('hello', '/hello/{name}')
config.add_view(hello_world, route_name='hello')
application = config.make_wsgi_app()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    server = make_server('', 8000, application)
    server.serve_forever()

I will experiment and hopefully add a better answer.

A: Errors like these occur frequently when mixing setup.py <foo> with pip install <bar> due to how each system handles namespace packages (like zope.XXX). The solution is usually to blow everything away and then install it using only one tool. For example if you're using python setup.py develop right now, replace it with pip install -e .

A: I don't have a reason yet, but the quick answer is that I needed to use zope.deprecation 4.1.2. Version 4.2 was causing things to break.


Anna Hemmings, aged 26, of Doncaster, who died in 2015 from sepsis.
The death of a 26-year-old woman who lost her life to sepsis was avoidable, an investigation has found.
Anna Hemmings she was admitted to the hospital in October 2015 suffering from a chest infection, a urinary tract infection (UTI) and sepsis.
A review by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, (PHSO, found that staff at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust did not diagnose and treat the life-threatening condition quickly enough, and she died as a result.
The findings of the investigation have been published on World Sepsis Day today.
Even though Anna's symptoms and tests clearly showed that the UTI was the most likely cause of the sepsis, hospital staff did not sufficiently act on this and focussed on treating her chest infection.
The hospital also failed to monitor her condition and ensure that Anna, who had spina bifida, hydrocephalus and was partially sighted, was given enough fluids.
This meant she wasn't given the correct antibiotic until 15 hours after she had been admitted but by then it was too late and she suffered a heart attack and died.
Rob Behrens, Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, said lessons must be learned.
He said: "Doctors and nurses do an important job in caring for hundreds of thousands of people every day under enormous pressure.
"But as this case shows, it is essential that the NHS learns from mistakes and ensures that sepsis is promptly diagnosed and treated. This will ultimately save lives.
Anna's mum, Katie Hemmings, brought the complaint about the Trust to the Ombudsman on behalf of her daughter's extended family after the Trust's own investigation failed to recognise several serious mistakes in her daughter's treatment.
The Ombudsman found that the Trust's local investigation did not acknowledge that if it had provided the right treatment then Miss Hemmings could have survived.
Dr Ron Daniels, Chief Executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, said Anna had been failed by the NHS.
He said: "Sepsis is a complex condition in which early recognition demands an alert healthcare system.
Mr Sewa Singh, Medical Director at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said awareness of sepsis had improved since Anna's death.
"When Anna was brought to Doncaster Royal Infirmary, the presence of septicaemia was recognised and she was commenced on intravenous antibiotics. When Anna's condition did not improve, the antibiotics were changed but sadly Anna passed away from the effects of septicaemia.
"The early detection and treatment of sepsis is an NHS-wide priority and we continue to put in place better education, the promotion of sepsis awareness across the Trust and have improved guidance for all clinical staff.

Alcohol and drug abuse is a prevalent condition in most parts. The addiction is something bad that needs to be removed. An addiction presents itself as a deep craving for a given substance, which leads to compulsive behavior in an attempt to satisfy that craving. Most of those behavior bears undesirable consequences. An addict can get to such a low point as to come looking for help. You need to find this the best rehab program to fit their specific situation.
A flourishing addiction shall cause there to be no control over their lives. It shall become part of their daily routine. They shall thus develop health complications, their relationships will start failing, they may lose their jobs, and get into trouble with the law. The efforts of their loved ones to get them to change may not bear much fruit. It is, therefore, important to find them a rehab program to help with this addiction. There is no better way of breaking the hold that an addiction has on them.
This calls for a thorough assessment of the professional help available. You need to do fast, before they change their minds. At the same time, you do not want to drop them at the first one you come across. Relapses in future may prove more fatal than the first rounds. It is important that rehab remains a working system. You need to factor in their situation, their preferences and the kind of substance they are addicted to. It is important to find out what they intend to gain in going for rehab.
A good program shall start off with detoxification. This is where withdrawal is dealt with. There are different approaches to this section. The normally have no drugs supplied at this stage. There is normally a healthier replacement in the form of exercise, sauna treatments, and taking of vitamins and supplements. In other cases, they will be given replacement drugs as they are weaned off the potent ones. Others use combinations of different approaches. You need to know more about them before opting for one.
They will learn all about their triggers and minimizing cravings. This they shall manage via the coping skills they will be taught, such as conflict management, problem-solving, and communication. They will thus know how to refocus their energies positively.

Comcept Purchased by Level-5
Gaming News, Geek, News
Keiji Inafune's Comcept game studio has been officially purchased by Level-5, the developer behind titles such as Ni No Kuni, Professor Layton and White Knight Chronicles. The purchase was confirmed by Famitsu yesterday. Comcept will be folded into Level-5 and will be re-branded as Level-5 Comcept, making it a subsidiary of the company. Level-5 Comcept is located in Osaka, Japan and currently holds a mere 15 employees; however, Level-5 is looking to recruit more people to beef up the studio's staff.
Keiji Inafune stated that Comcept itself is closed for good, but he remains committed to working on and finishing the titles his studio had in development, meaning that we may see the completion of Red Ash, a game that looks to be modeled after Mega Man Legends, although Red Ash nor any other title were mentioned specifically.
This isn't the first time Comcept and Level-5 worked together as they collaborated on an anthology of experimental games known as Guild 02 which included Inafune's arcade shooter Bugs vs Tanks. The first official title from Level-5 Comcept was announced to be Dragon Colonies, an RTS game of iOS and Android. Dragon Colonies is due in Japan sometime in 2018, but a specific release date had not been announced as of yet.
Previously, Comcept is infamously known for Mighty No. 9, a game that was met with heavy criticism for being delayed multiple times. The final product felt unpolished and even some of the Kickstart backer rewards have yet to be honored. Inafune also released ReCore for the Xbox One game system last year.

Artist Jedediah Corwyn Voltz constructs miniature tree houses nestled in and around potted plants and bonsai. The tiny buildings, which range from stylish lofts to minimalist studios, have similar features to their full-sized counterparts, and Voltz has outfitted them with decorative rugs, art objects, and wooden furniture. Some even have minuscule houseplants lining their porches! This incredible attention to detail brings these playful spaces to life, and it's easy to imagine that they're inhabited by pint-sized residents. To produce the sculptures, Voltz draws from his decade-long experience as a commercial prop maker for movies. As a result, everything is meticulously handcrafted by the artist, with materials like silk and wood cobbled together into fully-realized structures.


Temperature and radiation tolerant electronics, as well as long life survivability are key capabilities required for future NASA missions. Current approaches to electronics for extreme environments focus on component level robustness and hardening. Compensation techniques such as bias cancellation circuitry have also been employed. However, current technology can only ensure very limited lifetime in extreme environments. This paper presents a novel approach, based on evolvable hardware technology, which allows adaptive in-situ circuit redesign/reconfiguration during operation in extreme environments. This technology would complement material/device advancements and increase the mission capability to survive harsh environments. The approach is demonstrated on a mixed-signal programmable chip, which recovers functionality until 280oC. We show in this paper the functionality recovery at high temperatures for a variety of circuits, including rectifiers, amplifiers and filters.


Our company remains in the process of transitioning to API Q1, 9th edition.
While reading sections 5.6.1.2 and 5.6.1.3, one of our suppliers we purchased materials from for our final product that some of his products we deem as "critical" for our final product and other products as "non-critical".
When we spoke to our supplier, he states he doesn't have a "Quality Management System". We've used this supplier for the past few years and would like to keep purchasing from them because their product meets our requirements.
Since this supplier does not have an established QMS, is there any way we can satisfy the requirements of API Q1, section 5.6.1.2, by using other methods for critical supplier qualification, such as customer/supplier performance history or other documented evidence that the supplier could provide? Any information that will help us meet this criteria would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for submitting your question to ATCS's QBlog.
In regard to your question, note that in my opinion, API Q1, section 5.6.1.2, only requires the organization to verify that the supplier's quality management system (QMS) conforms to the quality system requirements that have been specified by the organization.
API Q1, does not require the organization to ensure that its suppliers have a certified QMS, unless the organization has deemed this to be a requirement. It's the organization's responsibility to identify supplier quality system requirements. API Q1, is not prescriptive in this area.
If the organization determines that a certified or documented QMS is required, then the organization must verify that the supplier's quality system conforms to those requirements.
However, where no documented or certified QMS exists, the organization may want to consider other criteria that the supplier must meet to demonstrate their capabilities. This criteria should be based upon the criticality of the product or service to be provided and may include, onsite evaluation of the supplier's capability to provide as applicable, material/product traceability, calibration records, personnel qualifications, documented procedures for processes that require validation (i.e., heat treat, welding and NDT), control of external suppliers, internal controls for documents, records and nonconforming product, that are associated with the product or services to be supplied.

Okay, this is not for everybody ("Who is that?" said my wife, and not in a favourably curious way) but the previous collection in this Music of Central Asia series (see tag) was an impressive package of a CD, an excellent doco-DVD, and a very useful essay in the booklet.
This equally handsome pack, volume five in the series, introduces music from the mountainous region around Tajikistan and Afghanistan where people in the valleys have little contact with each other, and so distinctive cultural practices and musics have developed.
This ensemble plays folkloric songs from the region but are also pragmatists: "We don't perform folklore at weddings, "says founder Soheba Davlatshoeva, "if we did, no one would hire us. What people want to listen and dance to is pop music."
That pop isn't like our pop however, as the DVD here -- with shots of the dramatic landscape and remote villages -- illustrates.
The CD however favours the traditional songs drawn from popular poems and texts by the likes of Rumi and Hafiz. There are instrumental pieces here which in my view are pretty exceptional . . . but that is not a view shared.
If someone yells from the other room "Who is that?" it is nice to be able to yell back, "Why this is the Hafiz poem Zohidi Pokizasirisht set to music by Mukhtor Muborakqadamov and performed by the Badakhshan Ensemble. The singer is Aqnazar Alovatov incidentally."
That stops 'em in their tracks -- and they'll never ask the question again.
They might insist you or this fascinating album in an excellent series move out however.

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh yesterday conceded defeat to now-President Elect Adama Barrow.
Jammeh, 51, took power 22 years ago in a bloodless coup. He had claimed a billion-year mandate. Barrow, 51, is a property developer without political experience. According to the electoral commission yesterday, he won 263,515 votes, equating to 45.5%, while Jammeh won 36.7%, 212,099 votes. A third candidate accounted for 17.8%.
Jammeh is the nation's second president since independence in 1965. In a public broadcast he hailed "the most transparent election in the whole world," and congratulated Barrow on "a clear victory[...] You Gambians have decided."
Born in Basse in 1965, Barrow spent several years working as a security guard in London. He returned home in 2006 and began property development, which he still does. He expressed disappointment he did not win by a larger margin.
Barrow represents a coalition of parties in an unprecedented co-operation. He said his first priority is to pick his cabinet, and has proposed a presidential two-term limit and promised financial stimulation. "It's the people who have spoken. He cannot hang on," he said. "We won the election clearly so there's nothing he can do about it."
Jammeh refused international observations of the election, banned protests following the result, and switched off the nation's Internet access on the day of the vote. He pledged to work with Barrow and hand over power in January.

Metal Hurlant Chronicles Comes To Syfy In This Week's Sci-Fi TV Picks
By David Wharton | 7 years ago
Syfy has had pretty good luck when it comes to imported programming over the last few years. I don't actually know anybody who watches Lost Girl, but they must be out there, because the show is now heading toward its fifth season. Syfy nabbed that show from the Canadian network Showcase, and their other Showcase acquisition, Continuum, has become, in the words of GFR head honcho Josh Tyler, "the best time travel show of all time." Well, tonight Syfy premieres another import, the French sci-fi anthology series Métal Hurlant Chronicles, but you might know it better by another name: Heavy Metal.
The cult-classic anthology comic, which was previously adapted into the 1981 animated film featuring the talents of Ivan Reitman and Dan O'Bannon, among others. (There was also the less noteworthy Heavy Metal 2000, and a proposed third film from David Fincher and James Cameron, but it died back in 2009.) Métal Hurlant Chronicles first premiered in October 2012 on French television, and it's been a waiting game to see when it would finally make its way Stateside. Tonight, that wait is over!
Each half-hour episode of Métal Hurlant Chronicles adapts a story from the comic magazine's run, and it looks like Syfy will be airing two episodes back to back on Monday nights, leading into the returning Warehouse 13's final season. This being an anthology, the cast is different for each episode, but the first season includes familiar sci-fi faces such as Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) and James Marsters (Caprica, Torchwood).

WEC-Europe calls for correct classification of digital labour platforms and platform service providers
The World Employment Confederation-Europe (WEC-Europe), the voice of the private employment services industry in Europe, organised an event titled 'It's more than a gig! A stakeholder conference on the EU proposal for a Directive on platform work in collaboration with Prism'emploi, its French national federation member.
Published on 18th February 2022
During the event, the private employment services industry urged EU legislators to develop an appropriate regulatory framework for workers and businesses that can deliver quality digital labour platform services while respecting the variety of platform work and national environments in EU Member States.
Presenting WEC-Europe's position on the EU's proposal on platform work during the event,Herman Nijns, WEC-Europe President, said that: "While we strongly support the European Commission's proposal to regulate digital labour platforms in a rapidly changing world of work, we are concerned that the proposal's one-size-fits-all approach could undermine business models and the correct classification of people based on their actual employment status. In a labour market characterised by a wide diversity of forms of work and business models providing services, we should not embrace a narrow view of digital labour platforms and people working through them. European legislators must address regulatory gaps when it comes to the correct classification of digital service providers and employment status to ensure a level-playing field amongst labour market intermediaries and social protection for all individuals operating through them."
Clarity regarding employment status is an essential component to improving working conditions and social protection for people providing work through digital labour platforms.However, WEC-Europe is concerned that the proposal's current provisions could lead to the potential misclassification of workers because it fails to consider the immense diversity in platform work in Europe.
Representatives of the private employment services industry also argued that the services they provide are a comprehensive and well-regulated form of employment. People working through digital labour platforms are either workers or self-employed. There is no need for a third status.
Furthermore, and although the private employment services industry is fully supportive of the need for transparency, it questions whether specific provisions on automated decision-making systems are necessary given the existence of the EU Act on Artificial Intelligence and the General Data Protection Regulation.
Providing the event's closing remarks, French Minister for European Affairs, Clément Beaune, outlined the Presidency's priorities when it comes to platform work and the determination of workers' employment status. He stated that France will prioritise files aiming to protect worker rights with a focus on both securing minimal pay and supporting the rights of people on platforms and the many workers who were on the frontlines of the pandemic crisis.

This project of a two-family villa develops itself as a duality, almost as a conflict between the organization of spaces and their external expression.
The interior is as an answer to the question "how to assemble two sensitivities, two intimacies, two lifestyles, and this within a single architecture? ". Each one sees his functions get into place making the most of their internal relations and external environment, without any sacrifice of quality. The interior spaces stretches, come to seek the light, views, or on the contrary, declines to find more privacy in this way and define an outgoing volume.
By contrast, the outer shell comes to connect and attach the set of spaces which seems to have flourished individually. In the manner of a continuous band in which voids have been performed, the facade is literally wrapped around the two houses, giving an external expression of architecture firmly united.
