Q: Very Weird Shape On The Graph Of Percision/Recall I am doing classification on the classic Titanic dataset, and I have encountered this weird looking graph of Precision and recall.
I used SGD model as the classifier. Two lines are overlapped and looking like nonsense. Can some experienced programmer tell me what kind of problem do I have, this definitely does not look correct. Thanks.
y_scores=cross_val_predict(sgd_clf,X,y,cv=5,method='decision_function')
from sklearn.metrics import precision_recall_curve
precisions,recalls,thresholds=precision_recall_curve(y,y_scores)
def plot_precision_recall_vs_threshold(precisions,recall,threshold):
plot_precision_recall_vs_threshold
plt.plot(thresholds,precisions[:-1],'b--',label='Precision')
plt.plot(thresholds,precisions[:-1],'g-',label='Recall')
plt.xlabel('Threshold')
plt.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.ylim([0,1])

plot_precision_recall_vs_threshold(precisions,recalls,thresholds)
plt.savefig('plot_precision_recall_vs_threshold2.png')
plt.show()

A: In the following two lines you only changed the label but not the array that is plotted precisions[:-1], which might explain why the lines overlap.
plt.plot(thresholds,precisions[:-1],'b--',label='Precision')
plt.plot(thresholds,precisions[:-1],'g-',label='Recall')

try replacing the second one with recalls[:,-1]


I look a liittle---not like myself in this photo.
But yes....every few weeks I like to rock a head wrap just to give the locs a little break away from the elements. They appreciate it and I appreciate a different look. One of these free weekends, I am going to go to a fabric store and get a ton of bright colored scarves. Just for the sake of Spring.

Typically, cockroaches prosper in temperate, moist, murky, and clammy surroundings and are discovered in dwellings, cruisers, cellars, lavatories, and open drains. Classically, cockroaches congregate in congested locales and nourish on chow, water, lifeless plants, timber and other bugs.
Subsequent to breeding, female cockroaches dump their eggs in a toughened egg-shaped casing; when the eggs are just about to emerge, the females either abandon the egg casing nearby a food supply/ employ discharge from their orifices to stick it to an appropriate plane.
Though they do not trigger any ailment yet, they are transporters for millions of microbes and infectious mediators that can show the way to an assortment of ailments such as loose motions to gastrointestinal disorders. The microbe pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi can proliferate widely in gut of cockroaches to produce various ailments; they can even enter your nose and ears while you are in intense slumber.
The German cockroach: It has two bands on the external body and is light auburn in shade. It is frequently located in outsized, congested cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and other cities in the Bay area, even Walnut Creek, Plesant Hill, and Concord, and subsists in humidity - ridden localities e.g. underground stores.
The American cockroach: It is scarlet-auburn in shade, around two inches in length, and has devices of flight. It is expected to be hit upon in humid, shady regions like crypts and garrets.
Superior hygiene should be observed following bug control to avoid additional influx.

10 Points to Ponder… After the 2007 Bank of America 500 at Charlotte
March 26, 2022 October 14, 2007 Frontstretch Staff
1. Lucky at Lowe's – Jeff Gordon is a great racecar driver, but even the best sometimes need a bit of luck, as Gordon acknowledged in his post-race comments from victory lane: "I can't tell you how many times we tried to give this one away. I was having trouble with the [fuel] pickup on the banking. Even on the last [restart], the tires spun so bad, Clint Bowyer could have gone right by me."
Gordon pulled out the Bank of America 500 win despite two cautions and a red flag in the last 16 laps of the race, a green-white-checkered finish, an almost-empty gas tank and a group of talented hard chargers right behind him, including Kyle Busch, Bowyer, Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards.
2. Translation, please? – There was some serious fender rubbing going on partway through the race between future teammates Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. After Jeff got into Dale, an angry Junior warned, "Tell him I ain't gonna forget that!" But I'm really curious about what Gordon meant when he said a short time later, "I really don't want to race him tonight," referring to none other than his future teammate. What's your interpretation?
3. Kenseth's Calamity – It's not often that Matt Kenseth has the kind of dismal night he had at Charlotte, bouncing both off the wall and other cars several times. Said a dejected Kenseth after the race, "I have absolutely no excuse. I really feel like an idiot out here tonight."
4. Almost Alltel – With the race winding down, Newman made a sweet move on a lap 329 restart as the No. 24's engine sputtered, allowing him to sweep past the three frontrunners and take the lead. True to his nickname, Newman took off like a rocket in clean air, but blew a tire just two laps later, slamming the wall and finishing 28th. Curiously, both Rusty Wallace – who was calling the race live – and subsequent reports from Goodyear engineers hold that all four tires were up when Newman arrived back in the garage… even though Newman was adamant that he felt the tire pop.
5. CBD – I got a kick out of SPEED's new acronym for the No. 07 team's improbable Chase run this season: CBD, which stands for Clint Bowyer Denial. But there's no denying the fact that this guy is for real. Bowyer is now just 10 points behind reigning Nextel Cup champ Jimmie Johnson, and he's the only driver besides Johnson still within a one-race points margin of Gordon. Bowyer's worst finish in the Chase (if you want to call it that) has been 12th, but he's also had two seconds and a first, giving him an average finish in the Chase of 5.6. Johnson's average finish in the Chase? 9.8.
6. Broadcast Blunders – I checked in at a number of fan message boards during the race, and you know what the number one topic of discussion was on all of them? Hint: It wasn't the racing, the drivers, the Chase or even college football scores, which apparently ESPN thinks race fans can't live without. The big topic yesterday, as it has been for the past several weeks, was the TV broadcast itself. I can tell you this much: NASCAR is not doing itself any favors with the way ABC/ESPN currently covers the races. And WHY doesn't that network understand that after sitting through a 500-mile race, fans want to see more than one (sorry, two) post-race interviews?
You Think You Hate Missed Restarts? ESPN Hates Them Even More
7. You Might Be a Redneck – If government officials are afraid to visit you without first updating their immunizations. Many fans were outraged after hearing the news that some Homeland Security staffers were advised to get a series of inoculations before attending the Talladega race to study public health issues. My feeling is that all you can really do is laugh at such ignorance. As Kyle Petty put it, "That's our government at work."
8. Shave and a Haircut – Earnhardt Jr. encouraged a little friendly razzing over the weekend after his cousin and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. started work at Hendrick Motorsports. According to Earnhardt, Tony Jr. was told to get a haircut, tuck in his shirt and report to work at the break of dawn. Hey, don't laugh too hard, Junior – your turn is coming soon.
9. Over it? – Speaking of Dale Jr., did you hear that he left both Friday practice sessions early, stating that the car was so good there was nothing else they needed to do to it? This seems quite odd considering how poorly he ran, starting 22nd, finishing 19th, and not leading a single lap. Is it possible that Junior is mentally and emotionally done with this season, just going through the motions at this point? Sure looks like it to me.
10. Castroneves Can-Can – OK, it's not a NASCAR story, but IndyCar driver Helio Castroneves has proven that not all of a driver's moves take place on the racetrack. The quote of the week, however, goes to Sam Hornish Jr., who was asked to comment about the colorful sequined costumes that Helio and other competitors wear on Dancing with the Stars. "I haven't seen him wear anything that he didn't already have in his wardrobe," he joked.

Exclusive: Yieldstreet launches new private credit investment platform
BYRey Mashayekhi
June 23, 2020, 1:00 PM UTC
Alternative investment manager Yieldstreet—which allows individuals to invest in loans backed by real estate, art, shipping vessels, and other asset classes—is launching a new platform dedicated to private business credit, Fortune has learned.
Yieldstreet's base of accredited investors will now have access to private business loans backed by collateral including inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, and other assets. The firm effectively crowdfunds its investors' contributions—which start at a minimum investment of $10,000—to provide them access to fixed-income products that are usually reserved for the likes of hedge funds and institutional investors.
The private credit platform will target short- to medium-term secured loans typically ranging from $3 million to $30 million in value. It is Yieldstreet's fifth asset class, following verticals dedicated to the real estate, legal, marine, and art financing sectors.
Yieldstreet CEO Milind Mehere told Fortune that he believes the current market environment is ripe for the platform's launch. He noted the prevalence of "small and medium-size businesses" now revving back up in the wake of the coronavirus lockdown, many of them in need of fresh liquidity to finance their operations.
"For us, the timing feels right. We feel that in the next 12 to 24 months, a lot of businesses will be looking for new capital that's time- and cost-effective," Mehere said. "As there was a market correction and a tightening in lending, we feel you'll get access to better borrowers, better deal flow, and good-quality paper."
With the private business credit sphere valued at an estimated $1 trillion annually, Mehere said he expects the platform to deploy hundreds of millions of dollars in capital over the next 12 months. Yieldstreet has brought in credit industry veterans Larry Curran and Barbara Anderson to lead the vertical, with the pair serving as managing director and senior director & head of underwriting, respectively.
"All of our transactions will have several common themes," Anderson told Fortune. She said Yieldstreet will be looking to finance "high-growth" companies with "experienced management teams, good technology, and access to capital to support that growth in addition to the leverage that we bring to the table."
As far as the assets that the platform will be investing in, Anderson added that Yieldstreet is "less concerned about what [the asset] is, and more about the underlying aspects of each borrower"—with the goal of helping companies grow their businesses and improve their credit profiles over time.
While Yieldstreet will be originating some of the debt on its own, the firm will also partner with banks and other outside lenders to provide additional capital to their deals. For now, the platform will exclusively focus on primary, direct issuance deals ranging from short-term loans, to a targeted "sweet spot" of 12- to-36-month terms, to some 60-month terms, Anderson said.
"The pandemic has brought about some need for shorter-term credit facilities—people who are looking for a bridge, or an injection of liquidity to get by," she noted. The private credit platform currently has more than $50 million in transactions in the pipeline, Anderson added, and hopes to close its first deals "in the next month or so."
The new vertical comes in the wake of challenges encountered by some of Yieldstreet's other platforms in recent months. In April, the Wall Street Journal reported that investors had expressed their dismay about underperforming maritime loans—including some backed by disappearing collateral that had forced Yieldstreet to take borrowers to court. Separately, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, pulled out of plans to manage a fund alongside Yieldstreet, the WSJ also reported.
"In the unusual event that an investment fails to perform, Yieldstreet acts to protect its investors and keeps them informed of its progress," a company spokesperson told Fortune. "Nothing is more important to Yieldstreet than its investors."
To date, Yieldstreet has funded more than $1 billion in investments and returned $600 million to its investors, according to the firm.

Anais Nin: Little Birds revisited
Nicole Lampert delves deep into Anais Nin's Sky Atlantic drama Little Birds.
Nicole Lampert Send an email August 5, 2020
A closer look at new Sky Atlantic drama Little Birds…
When Anais Nin's philandering musician father ran off with one of his rich students, leaving her devastated mother alone to bring up three children, the 11-year-old – forced to move from her native France to America – started composing a letter to entice her adored father back.
Although just a child, she wrote a distorted picture of the allure of the family's new home in America – she would do anything to get him back and even at her tender age she had learned that manipulation and lies were the best way to get what she wanted from her father.
It failed to work but this letter was later to form the first chapter of a diary which became one of the most infamous pieces of literature ever written. The diaries, when they were finally released in their full unexpurgated glory, revealed dozens of affairs, bigamy, a life of lies, lesbianism, and, most shockingly of all, consensual incest with the man who had left her.
Nin, who died in 1977, has variously been called, 'a monster of self-centeredness', 'a great bore', 'mercilessly pretentious', a pioneer for female sexuality and, last year, by Meghan Markle, an inspiration, 'to be braver'. It may be that she was all of these things.
Her reputation has risen and fallen like the tides. She was derided for most of her life as someone who had clung to the edges of the American literary world, forced to self-publish her books, only thanks to the riches of her banker husband who she cheated on mercilessly. But she finally found fame when an edited version of her diaries detailing just some of her affairs led to her becoming a feminist icon.
And when her full works of erotica, written in the 1940s for an unnamed male patron, were released in 1977 it became clear that there was something a little unedifying beneath this flag bearer of sexual revoltion. Not only did they celebrate the female sexuality that she was revered for, but they also included celebrations of paedophilia and rape.
And then her unedited diaries came out, detailing her many, many love affairs including a three-month relationship with her own father.
But slowly she has come back into fashion. Her words have become favourite memes – nuggets of insight shared on social media. 'Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage/ We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are/ You cannot save people, you can only love them/ The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.' Some might say that in our narcissistic age, where everyone likes to spill everything on Facebook or Instagram, she fits right in.
And now an erotically laced new drama for Sky Atlantic, inspired by her book Little Birds, will introduce her to a whole new generation. The series stars young British actress Juno Temple as troubled American heiress Lucy Savage who arrives in the bohemian melting pot of 1955 Tangier. Escaping from a controlling father and alcoholic mother, she has rapidly married the first man who danced nicely with her, penniless British aristocrat Lord Hugo Cavendish-Smythe played by Hugh Skinner.
But once she leaves the boat to marry Hugo in Tangier, where he lives, she finds her new husband is not what she thought. He is a gay man, who likes her but isn't interested in her sexually. And so, she is forced to go elsewhere for her pleasure.
Readers of the book of short stories will be surprised to find how little of the book there is in the series of the same name. But, as the show's writer Sophia Al Maria says, that is because there are still elements of Nin which are unfathomable, even in today's permissive society. The book's first story is about a paedophile who buy exotic little birds to attract school girls to his apartment.
'Anais Nin had been really important to me as a teenager but then, rereading it as an adult, I was like, 'This is really dicey. I don't know how I feel about a lot of this stuff,' she says. 'Also, there isn't really a plot.' Instead the series focuses on one of Nin's much quoted sayings: 'And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.'
But the idea of a girl with daddy issues who marries the first man who will take her before she plunges headlong into a world of men who want to touch her? Rather than any of the stories she concocted, the girl in the series is, perhaps, a tamer version of Nin herself.
Born in 1903 in France to Spanish-Cuban pianist Joaquin Nin and French-Cuban singer Rosa Culmell, she was devastated when her parents split up when she was ten. With her mother and two younger brothers she had peripatetic upbringing, moving around France, then to Barcelona and finally New York. Aged 16 she left school and started working as a painter's model, her beautiful dark and exotic looks made her an instant favourite. In Little Birds she gives an idealized/ sexualized account of all the painters and illustrators who would touch her and try and have sex with her until she finally lost her virginity to one of them.
Aged 20 she married Hugh Guiler, a banker and film maker, who was five years her senior and in some ways a substitute father but one who was kind and faithful. But he was inexperienced with women and wasn't able to satisfy Nin. She quickly began to look elsewhere.
Her first love affair was with John Erskine in 1928, a celebrated writer and her husband's mentor. They arranged a tryst but Erskine, feeling guilty about betraying his friend, rejected her in the final moment which sent her into a tailspin of self-doubt and depression.
The couple moved to Paris where Nin, profoundly interested in psychoanalysis, started seeing therapists Rene Allendy and Otto Rank, who her husband was then seeing in therapy. Both men became her lovers. They also encouraged her to write. Her first book, a slim criticism of the still controversial DH Lawrence, helped provide her entrée into literary society, as did her husband's finances.
In 1931 Nin met Henry Miller who was living in a semi poverty as a teacher. She decided he was an undiscovered genius and he was also the first man who initiated Nin to sex as she hoped it would be; raw and passionate. 'It is like a forest fire to be with him,' she wrote. With her husband's fortune she helped bankroll his work while he agreed to mentor her.
There was just one complication; Miller's wife June. But when Nin met her, she fell in love with June too writing of her: "I love her for what she has dared to be, for her hardness, her cruelty, her egoism, her perverseness, her demoniac destructiveness. She would crush me to ashes without hesitation. She is a personality created to the limit. I worship her courage to hurt, and I am willing to be sacrificed to it. She will add the sum of me to her. She will be June plus all that I contain.'
Their ménage a trois was immortalized in a 1990 film called Henry & June, starring Uma Thurman, which was given a certificate by censors normally reserved for hard core porn.
But even her love affair with this married couple wasn't enough. Miller, who wrote the novel Tropic of Cancer with her funding, was addicted to his work and Nin, despite all she had done for him, felt abandoned once again.
In 1933, after an absence of 20 years, Nin's father re-emerged. Having learned his daughter had turned into a beautiful and clever young woman, he invited her to join him on a holiday to Spain. Their relationship quickly turned sexual.
As she described in her diary, under the heading Father Story, at first, he seemed 'cold and formal' but she was 'dazzled' by his intellect and charisma, considering him to be the 'complete synthesis' of all the men she had loved. In turn he proclaimed her, 'the woman of my life'.
After their first night as lovers she described herself 'poisoned by this union' with a 'sense of guilt' that 'weighs down on my joy'. But the affair continued for three months with her celebrating: 'I had the man I loved with my mind; I had him in my arms, in my body.'. When this section of her diaries was finally released, after her death, readers were shocked by her lack of remorse and introspection about this breaking of one of the final taboos.
During the war she moved back to America with her husband and joined a small band of writers creating erotic fiction for wealthy benefactors for money. In the preface for Little Birds she described how: 'I became what I shall call the Madame of an unusual house of literary prostitution…Most of the erotica was written on empty stomachs. The more hunger, the greater the desires, like those of men in prison, wild and haunting. So, we had here a perfect world in which to grow the flower of eroticism.'
In 1942 she had a passionate romance with homosexual writer Gore Vidal who was 20 years her junior. He states he became 'ensorcelled' by her while she was impressed with his 'manliness and poise'. Even though he knew he was gay he begged her to marry him saying, 'I built a house for us.' When she rejected him, he got his revenge when he concocted a character called Maria in his novel The City and the Pillar about a homosexual character who falls for an older, exotic woman who had an affair with another man to make him jealous.
Furious at the caricature, she wrote: 'I want to protect you, the human being, from the consequences of this incapacity to love.'
She was 44 when she finally found the man who would, in some ways, fulfill her. Rupert Pole, a handsome actor 16 years her junior, caught her attention when they met in a lift in 1947. Like many of her lovers, she kept him with her husband's money. But she told him she was a divorcee and they married, bigamously in 1955. She reasoned this was the only way she could embody all her potential; as a lover and a wife.
Nin spent her time living between her two husbands, neither of whom knew she was married to another, devising a complex index card system of half lies and pseudonyms so she could work out who she had told what to. Her handbag contained two chequebooks – one was for Anais Guiler in New York – and the other was for Anais Pole in Los Angeles. She even had differently named bottles of prescription pills.
But that all had to change once she finally found the literary fame she had always craved. In 1966 she put out a much-edited version of the diaries she had begun writing when she was 11. They ran to 35,000 pages. Although there was much she had left out – including the affair with her father and her bigamy – her sexual freedom fed into the 1960s women's emancipation movement while her poetic writing found a home.
Soon she was being feted as an icon and toured America, worshipped by young women who believed she had provided the first real account of how a woman could thrive in the male dominated world of literature. At the same time, she quietly annulled her marriage to Pole, although she continued to live with him, so that she could continue receiving money from her first husband.
In 1977, shortly before she died of ovarian cancer, she released one of her two volumes of erotica, Delta of Venus. She knew it would impact how she was seen, damaging her reputation, but also wanted to leave a lasting legacy of wealth for both her husbands. It became an instant bestseller.
Two years later Little Birds was released. In 1986 Pole then released Nin's unedited diaries including the full story of her incest, and the way she was perceived completely changed. She was variously portrayed as a spoiled adulteress who used her cuckolded husband's money to keep her husbands, a liar, a pornographer and a madwoman who had a consensual affair with her own father.
Now, once again, her impact on history is being reassessed. Feminist icon she may be but there was a darker side to her years of excess which should, perhaps, be recognised too.

Q: Dynamically loading modules at runtime in Python 3 Which is the recommended way to lazy load files in Python 3?
I've built this function by copy-past from Python 2 code
def get_command(self, ctx, cmd_name):
        ns = {}
        fn = os.path.join(cmd_folder, 'cmd_{}.py'.format(cmd_name))

        with open(fn) as f:
            code = compile(f.read(), str(fn), 'exec')
            eval(code, ns, ns)

        return ns['cli']

but I'm not sure if it is the right way. It uses compile and eval
EDIT
After using import like this:
def get_command(self, ctx, cmd_name):
    cmd_mod = import_module('{}.cmd_{}'.format(cmd_folder, cmd_name))

this is the result:
  File "aws_iam_cli/cli.py", line 23, in get_command
    cmd_mod = import_module('{}.cmd_{}'.format(cmd_folder, cmd_name))
  File "/Users/salvatoremazzarino/awsiam/venv/lib/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module

EDIT #2:
def get_command(self, ctx, cmd_name):
        mod = import_module('aws_iam_cli.commands.cmd_{}'
                            .format(cmd_name))
        return mod.cli

and the error:
  File "/Users/salvatoremazzarino/awsiam/venv/lib/python3.6/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module

This is the dir tree:
├── aws_iam_cli
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── cli.py
│   ├── commands
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── __pycache__
│   │   └── cmd_dump.py
│   └── provider
│       ├── __init__.py
│       ├── policy.py
│       └── role.py

Inside commands I have a module and I call inside that module:
from aws_iam_cli.provider.role import fetch_roles

A: You can use importlib.import_module to load modules dynamically at run time. So for example:
from importlib import import_module

# load module
pckg_name = 'commands'  # I assume all your commands are in this pckg
cmd_mod = import_module('{}.cmd_{}'.format(pckg_name, cmd_name))

# run command (I'm assuming the module contains a function with the 'cmd_name')
cmd_mod.cmd_name()

I think this kind of approach will be cleaner and safer and should work with what you are doing.

Whitney Houston Was Murdered! Says P.I.
Whitney Houston was murdered and new evidence – caught on video – proves it, says a top Hollywood private investigator who is turning all of his material over to the FBI, according to a new report.
Paul Huebl also says the superstar singer's killers are caught on tape. "I have evidence that points to Whitney being a victim of a high powered drug dealers who sent thugs to collect a huge debt she owed for drugs," Huebl says in the new issue of the National Enquirer, which broke the story.
Using a network of drug informants and taking another look at the coroner's report, the PI has pieced together evidence that he's turning over to the Chicago field office of the FBI, hoping a fresh look from the outside will bring the truth to light.
Huebl points to two unknown men who kept showing up at the Beverly Hilton, where Houston was staying, and blending in with her group of hangers on.
The day before her death Whitney received a cocaine delivery but was later heard to say, "I'm tired of this sh*t." The PI says she was referring to being tired of harassed to pay her drug debt, which had reached $1.5 million.
On the day she died, Whitney was left alone in her hotel room for 45 minutes and that's when one or both of the killers slipped into her room and were captured on surveillance video.
As for the coroner's report that says no foul play was involved in Whitney's death, the investigator, who has reviewed it thoroughly, strongly disagrees.
"Whitney's body shows classic defense wounds that would have occurred while she was battling for her life," he told the Enquirer.
Huebl details those injuries and the evidence he says points to a struggle occurring during the last minutes of the singing superstar's life in her hotel room and bathroom.
All of the details are in the new issue of the Enquirer, which hits newsstands Thursday.

"The Voyager Conspiracy"
THE BOTTOM LINE: Way off the plausibility meter, but tolerable as clip shows go.
CYNICS CORNER RATING: 6.5 (D)
LAUGH LINE OF THE WEEK: Seven to Naomi: "Your physiology is... different from mine." As if she hadn't noticed...
NEW GEOGRAPHY OF THE WEEK: Seven says that Voyager encountered a "former Talaxian colony" a few weeks back. Say what? Voyager is something like 30,000 light years away from Talax(ia) and they're still running into them? Not only is it obvious that the Talaxians are largely bumpkins who don't seem to be running an empire in the Delta Quadrant, but Neelix himself said years ago, in "Fair Trade," that Voyager had left space known to the Talaxians. Once again, we seem to have Voyager's writers forgetting how much progress Voyager (the vessel, not the show) has made.
NOSTALGIA OF THE WEEK: Mentions of Kes in this episode were surprising, considering how rarely she has been mentioned since leaving the ship; even in episodes screaming for a namedrop, like "Hour of Hell," Kes has seemed to be a permanent resident of Voyager's "continuity ashcan." Although some retconning seems to have taken place (i.e. Neelix's claim Kes that "always thought" something was going on with the Caretaker despite no indication in three years that she harbored any such suspicions), it's nice to know she hasn't been erased from Voyager's history (even though that means we're stuck with such dreck as "Cold Fire" and "Elogium").
VOYAGER CLICHE OF THE WEEK: It's amazing how blase Voyager's captain and crew are about unauthorized shuttle launches. Here we have Harry phoning the Captain: "<yawn> Seven ripped the Delta Fryer" and Janeway replying: "<sigh> Lay in a pursuit course," as if this happens every week (which it does, now that I think about it).
CONTRIVANCE OF THE WEEK: Janeway and Chakotay prove to be all-day suckers and buy into Seven's cock-and-bull conspiracy theories all too easily. I particularly think that the Maquis conspiracy that Janeway heard about was flimsy. Chakotay "compensated" the alien of the week with what exactly? Chakotay got the cloaked ship that tractored the reactor where exactly? Chakotay, the second-in-command has guided Voyager 30,000 light years to this precise location how exactly? Chakotay planned to use the catapult to attack the Federation using what ships and weapons exactly? Chakotay planned to resurrect the dead-as-doornails Maquis resistance fighters using what Amerind ritual exactly? The Federation conspiracy that Seven told Chakotay about is at least possible, though not plausible, but the Maquis story doesn't play at all, and Janeway was a fool to believe any of it.
DISCONTINUITIES OF THE WEEK: With so many references to past episodes and Voyager's appalling track record of consistency, there were bound to be glitches. For instance:
"The Caretaker was looking for a mate." Voyager's first episode has the Caretaker looking for a "genetically compatible replacement" for himself. Now, unless Banjo-man intended to go where no man has gone before with Ensign Kim, that is not the same thing as looking for a mate.
"The Caretaker returned all those hijacked ships back to their homes." That doesn't square with the experience of the Equinox, as far as I can tell, although one could argue that this was screwed up in "Equinox" and not here.
"Commander Seska." As I recall, Seska was a lieutenant (fanwanks with tapes can check "State of Flux," "Prime Factors," etc.).
"Seska impregnated herself with Chakotay's child." No, that was a scam. Seska copped to the fact that the child was Maje Cullah's (in "Basics II").
"Janeway allowed Kes to leave." A euphemism perhaps, but in "The Gift," Janeway more or less had to get Kes off the ship so she could Evolve to a Higher Level without destroying Voyager.
FUNCTIONING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS OF THE WEEK: During the test of the catapult, Harry says the gizmo is set for 100 light years. The Forehead Alien and his ship are launched. A couple of hours later he phones, saying he went 5,000 light years! First, a piece of technology so unreliable that it was off by that much would require a hell of a lot more testing before being used; otherwise Voyager could find itself back in Kazon country, and no one wants that. Second, 5,000 light years seems to be pushing even Star Trek's Magical Tech as far as real-time communication goes.
MYSTERIES OF THE WEEK: Seven's conspiracy theories turn out to be a total crock, but they bring up a few issues that are never addressed, such as:
Why did Voyager have the non-standard tri-cobalt devices on board?
What was that blue light in the Array video that Seven though was a tractor beam?
Where did that forehead alien get the Technobabble Reactor, if it's such unusual tech?
Everyone seemed to lose interest in these supposedly troubling issues after the heart-warming Seven/Janeway Delta Fryer scene, perhaps because they all fell into a diabetic coma as a result.
EXPEDIENCY OF THE WEEK: In "Caretaker," Janeway was willing to strand Voyager by destroying the Array in order to keep it out of the wrong hands. This week, all indications are that Voyager used Caretaker-level technology to get a relatively small jump and left the catapult right where it was, for any of the trash of the Delta Quadrant (like, say, the tech-needy and sneak-attack-prone Voir Dire from "Dragon's Teeth" just two weeks ago) to scavenge and abuse. I guess a lot changes in five years...
Thanks to Jamahl Epsicokhan, whose website, Star Trek: Hypertext, was an indispensable resource as I was tracking down past Voyager episodes that blatantly contradict this one. Jammer's too positive, but his reviews are more useful as reference material than mine are. :-)
Previous: "One Small Step"
Next: "Pathfinder" NEXT WEEK: A Next Generation crossover sweeps onto your screen, but despite the shameful name-dropping in the preview, I doubt that Captain Picard will be making an appearance.

Q: Polyfill for enquire.js in wordpress I'm trying to use Enquire.js in my Wordpress install. I'm trying just to push the left column under the central column for small screens.
I got it to work in most browser my the laptop, but it does not work on older Androids browser (2.2), saying it needs a polyfill. I tried to get this polyfill to work, but still not getting the functionality on Android, I still get the warning about matchmedia polyfill in android console.
Please help me pinpoint what is possible problem.
Basically, I load couple of scripts in function.php:
function rr_scripts() {
  wp_enqueue_script( 'polyfill', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/polyfill.js', array( 'Modernizr' ), '1.0.0', true );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'enquire', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/enquire.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', true );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'reorder', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/reorder.js', array( 'enquire' ), '1.0.0', true );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'rr_scripts' );

Then my Child template has js folder with couple of files, polyfill.js, that is supposed to polyfill the mediamatch (media.match.js is in the same folder):
Modernizr.load([
{
    test: window.matchMedia,
    nope: "media.match.js"
} ]);

reorder.js (below), that actually uses the enquire.js that is in the same folder as well:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   enquire.register("screen and (max-width: 599px)", {
       match: function() { jQuery('#leftside').insertAfter('#primary'); },
       unmatch: function() { jQuery('#leftside').insertBefore('#primary'); }
   });
});

A: If I understand your scenario correctly, then it might be related to a timing issue, i.e. enquire.js is being loaded before media.match.js. I'm not sure how .wp_enqueue_script() works but you could try the following (based on this comment:
Modernizr.load([{
    // First test requirement for .matchMedia() polyfill
    test: window.matchMedia,
    nope: 'media.match.min.js'
  }, {
    // ...and then load enquire.js
    load: 'enquire.min.js',
    complete: function() {
      enquire.register(...);
    }
  }
]);

Side note: enquire.js doesn't depend on jQuery.

The Same Old Dolphins Show: 2020 Season Review
DolphinsTalk Podcast: If Watson is Available What Shoul...
Is Tua Tagovailoa Toast in Miami?
A Look Back, Look Ahead for the 2021 Miami Dolphins
Posted by Evan Morris | Jan 13, 2021 | Dolphins News | 1
It's been a minute, Dolphins fans.
It's been a minute since I wrote — I was recovering from the sting of writing an article hyping up Tua and the 2020 squad only to watch them get shellacked by the Bills in week 17 — but it's also been a minute since the Dolphins achieved a 10-6 record to close the regular season.
2016 was the last time the Fins made it to 10-6, but we now know that then-head coach Adam Gase's playoff appearance was largely a fluke.
As Admiral Ackbar might say, it was a trap.
Built around aging veterans, a quarterback in Ryan Tannehill who needed a change of scenery to truly blossom, and a head coach who ended up being laughably incompetent (not being mean, just speaking truth), we should've known that season wasn't a true building block for the future.
But the 2020 Miami Dolphins, who just went 10-6?
I'm all in. Why?
Let me put it this way…
Flores is better than Gase. Fact.
https://t.co/jxrlfdfvzy
— DolphinsTalk.com (@DolphinsTalk) January 13, 2021
This team is young — real young. In 2016, the Dolphins were the 20th youngest team in the league. In 2020 they were the 2nd youngest, behind only the 1-15 Jaguars.
And long term, I still believe Tua will be better than Tannehill ever was for this franchise. I've been wrong before, but you can quote me on that. Give him some weapons in the upcoming draft — the Alabama duo of DeVonta Smith and Najee Harris comes to mind — and I think you've got a winner. A long-term winner.
That last point may be speculation, but the fact that seems more concrete is Flores' worth for Stephen Ross' franchise.
In the 2019 season, everyone thought the Miami Dolphins were full-on tanking. And in some respects, they were.
They jettisoned talented players throughout the postseason and went into week one with a skin-and-bones roster that got blown out 59-10 by the Ravens to open the season. The front office had 100% set up the team to tank that year… But there was one problem with the "tanking" idea.
Head coaches don't tank. And players sure as hell don't tank.
You've heard the story before, but it bears repeating: Flores took an XFL-level roster and guided them to five wins, including a rousing week 17 victory against the Patriots that robbed them of home-field advantage in the playoffs and led to a premature exit.
Tank job aside, the players were playing for their jobs — 2020 contributors Nik Needham and Zach Sieler are testaments to that. As for Flores? He was coaching for credibility, credibility that he's earned by this point. He took that XFL roster, guided it to five wins, and then parlayed that first season into ten wins the very next year.
Long story short, I'm sold on Flores. His leadership has been a breath of fresh air for this franchise.
https://t.co/O6NL4InCvZ
Tua's time will come (Deshaun Watson trade rumors aside), but Flores' time is already here. And I'm hoping it's here to stay.
And as far as the 2020 season goes, I'm as bummed out as you probably are that the Dolphins missed the playoffs. I watched the Titans-Ravens game and was convinced that Miami would have absolutely been competitive in that game.
But if there's one thing that 2020 taught us — or me, at the very least — it's that you shouldn't take anything for granted.
So I'm not going to gripe too much about missing the playoffs. I'm not going to complain that Tua didn't play as well as Justin Herbert with the Chargers. And I'm not going to lament that the Dolphins' offense was stagnant for much of the end of the season.
Because Miami went 10-6.
With a second-year head coach, a rookie QB for half the year, and the second-youngest roster in the league, the Miami Dolphins went 10-6 and barely missed the playoffs.
In year two of a full-scale rebuild, how could you not be happy with that?
If you're worried about Tua because of Armando Salguero's recent article on a select few players not feeling sold on him, don't be. I'd point you to this article, where Tyreek Hill says that he thought Patrick Mahomes, of all people, was "trash" during Mahomes' rookie year.
Hill said to a reporter, "I was like, 'This is who y'all drafted?'"
So don't fret. It's still very, very early.
I'm not one to peddle optimism just for clicks or to make people feel good, but I've got a good feeling. As a fan since the dreadful 2007 season who's been around the block for being so young, I've got a good feeling. The 10-6 Dolphins are headed into year three of a rebuild with a full head of steam, complete with extra cap space and a plethora of draft picks.
Be patient with Tua. Be happy with Flores. And be excited for the future of this franchise.
As good as it was for the Miami Dolphins, 2020 is over.
Here's to 2021 and all the success it brings to this once-great franchise in South Florida.

A full offseason of further rehab and health, another year of playbook study, film study, a developing O line
some real game experience under his belt, this will all show in results for Tua. Key is the right OC coming on board for Phins. The wrong guy can hurt team big time. Hope the Phins take their time and get the right fellow. Someone that can mold the offense to Tua's strength. Too important to miss.
