Vegetarian 'chicken wings' part of new pit-style barbecue menu at Nottingham city centre bar
There's PLENTY for meat-eaters too
by Rachel GormanPopular city centre boozer Albert's (formerly Spanky's) has added yet another string to its bow, with a permanent kitchen takeover from a street food favourite.
The down-right dirty barbecue scran - which is currently being served tapas-style - is being rustled up by pop-up regular Az Smith, the 'pit boss' of Smiffy's Smokehouse.
Offering small plates of soft wheat tacos (£5.50 each or two for £10) and sharing plates (£4 each or three for a tenner) it's the perfect pub food to tuck in with mates over a pint or two (or three, if it's the weekend).
Meaty taco options (all served with shredded lettuce, salsa, creme fresh, pickled red onion and a secret sauce) include cherry smoked beef cheek, apple smoked Mexican chicken and 16-hour pulled pork.
Portions are certainly hearty with the two tacos failing to contain the generous portions, which happily come with plenty of lime and coriander to take the sting out of the hot but tasty dressing.

The same dishes can also be ordered at tapas plates (garnished with spring onion, pepper and Smiffy's own sauce) making it easier to share and less likely to result in food envy of your neighbouring diner.
Amongst the carnivore's in our party the chicken and pulled pork came out trumps, with little need for the kitchen to actually rinse the rustic-style dishes as they had actually been licked clean.

On the tapas menu there are vegetarian 'chicken wings' - which for a long-standing veggie gave the cheap thrill of looking like the real deal.
Southern fried in beer batter the 'chicken' (actually cauliflower) was crispy, spicy and so delicious, no one else got a look in.
The drunk beans were also a treat and not too starchy but instead nice and saucy with plenty of bite left.
The five plates, the three of us shared, was more than enough to keep us going for the evening and (minus the beer) would set you back £20., making it pretty reasonable value.
Best of all chef Az tells Nottinghamshire Live some larger plates will be appearing on the menu soon.

Maximum- Flow Min-Cut Problem
The dual of the linear program for the maximum flow as explained in line 29.47 to 29.50, has to be written. Also, it is to be presented as the minimum cut problem. For this, below is given a brief idea of maximum flow and minimum cut in any flow network.
 Each of the graph edge has a capacity. The capacity defines the data value that can go through that edge. The capacity is always greater than 0. One more thing is that if there is an edge going from a vertex to vertex, then no edge can go from to .
Maximum Flow:
In the above diagram, vertex s is the origin and the vertex t is the sink or destination. The capacity of each edge is shown alongside the edge.
Now the possible flows paths from the source to destination can be:
There might be a few more flow paths as well. The maximum amount of possible flow through a path is equal to the least capacity of an edge.
For example in the first flow path, the maximum flow would be 12.
Minimum Cut:
A cut in a network is the collection of network edges that, when deleted or ignored from the network stop the flow of data from the source to sink. Amongst the set of cuts the one that has the minimum capacity is known as the minimum cut.
For example:
In the above graph, the possible cuts are:
These cuts are as shown below in the graph:
Removal of any of the given set of edges would leave the network disconnected and reaching destination from source would not be possible either way.
In the possible cuts of the above network the cuthas the least capacity and that is . v2v1 is assigned a capacity 0 because that is in the reverse direction of sv2 and v1v3.
So, this is the minimum cut for the above mentioned network.
Dual of a linear program is the mirror image of itself. If dual is found for the program that is already a dual of some linear program that yields the linear program. The original form of the linear program is known as the primal form.
The dual for the linear program of the maximum flow problem actually simulates the Maximum-Cut-Minimum-Flow theorem. In writing the dual of a linear program, most convenient practice is to write the original equation in a form that is more aesthetic than the primal form.
This could be accomplished by reducing the number of constraints so that the in creation of the dual program, few variables have to be defined. Sometimes it might tend to the occurrence of many new variables in the primal equation.
To make this happen this, the flow network can be thought of as a collection of paths, through which the flow is travelling, rather than a collection of edges. This would diminish the number of constraints in the program. Now the conservation constraints can be ignored in the program.
Now keeping the above discussion in mind, in the creation of dual, a variable is considered for path from source of the network s to the target of the network t. P is denoted as the set of path, for specifying how much flow is along the path p.
Now the equations take the below form:
Maximize … … (1)
Subject to the condition
… … (2)
… … (3)
Minimum-Cut Formulation:
Now as the linear program of the maximum flow has been expressed into the simpler terms, it is evident that there was only one new variable introduced in the modified form of the primal. So in the dual form, only one new variable per edge of the network would be used.
Consider the new variable in the dual form be. For every edge of the network, there is one.
The linear program would now be as below:
Minimize
Subject to condition
;
;
Now, have a deeper understanding of the dual of the maximum flow linear program. The variable augments a weight to each of the edge. This weight can be thought of as the “length” from source to destination.
Now to find the minimum cut the flow has to be minimized. So, the intention over here is to find the path that has the minimum flow. For this the objective function is intended to find the minimum path. The same is the yield of the Maximum-Flow-Minimum-Cut theorem.
Now, the objective function is the subject to the constraints that for every path that is constituted of the edges the minimum value is one unit. That means the source and the target are always separable or it can be said that they are always different nodes of the network.
Another constraint is that the value of the variable for any edge has to be either 0 or any positive integer. This ensures that the capacity can never be negative and that is what the basic rule for capacity of the flow network says.
This way, it can be concluded that the dual of the linear program of the maximum flow of a network yield the linear program that represents the minimum cut for the same flow network.
Minimum-Cost Flow Problem
Minimum cost flow problem is the way of finding the path with least possible cost that leads a flow data from the origin to the destination.
This problem has certain real life applications. Some analogies to this are the telecommunication networks, goods transportation system and many others.
This problem is just an extension in the maximum flow problem. All the things that are in the maximum flow problem do exist in the minimum-cost flow problem. In this there is a new real valued function added. This new function is cost.
Cost is associated with every edge just like the capacity. Another thing associated with the network is the flow demand; the amount of flow that is to be moved. The cost is negotiated according to the flow demand.
So, the objective in this is to minimize the cost defined by the function
This should be achieved with conformation to the flow and the capacity constraints for the flow network.
The diagram above shows an example of the problem. The capacity and the cost of each of the edge are written alongside the edge. For instance the capacity of the edge from vertex s to vertex x is 5 and the cost of moving the flow is 2.
Now suppose that the demand is 4 units.
So, the objective is to find the path through the network that these 4 units can be moved from s to t.
The diagram above shows a remedy to the problem. In this 2 units of flow are being sent from s to x and 2 units are from s to y. From x the flow is bifurcated; 1 unit goes to t directly and 1 unit is sent to y. This is done because the cost of moving the flow through is more efficient than moving it through. But because the capacity of restricts the flow going through that, so after exhausting the flow limit of the remaining flow is sent through.
Now the flow to be moved from y is 3 units. This is the sum of the flow reaching from and. The flow conservation obligates the 3 units to leave node y.
So, 3 units are sent to t from y.
The linear program representing this problem is formulated in 29.51-29.52 (refer to the section 29.2 of the textbook).Dual of Minimum-Cost Flow Problem:
Dual of a linear program is the mirror image of itself. If dual is found for the program that is already a dual of some linear program that yields the linear program. The original form of the linear program is known as the primal form.
Since in the given primal there are constraints and variables. They are as below:
1. For each of the nodes there is a constraint of flow conservation.
2. An upper limit constraint for each of the edges.
3. For each of the edge there would be one variable.
So the required dual must have constraints and variables.
That would be:
1. For each of the node one variable representing the node that is for each.
2. One variable for each of the edge that is.
3. One constraint for each of the edges.
So, the dual program would be of the below form.
Maximize
Subject to condition
Interpretation in terms of flows and graph:
It is obvious that the min cost flow problem is deeply related to the maximum flow problem. The only difference is the addition of cost and demand in the network.
The objective in this problem is to find the flow with minimum cost. The amount of flow that is to be migrated from source is already negotiated in the problem.
This problem has a deep resemblance with the single source shortest path problem. In that the objective is to find the least possible cost of visiting all the nodes of the graph from a given node.
All possible paths from a node to all other nodes, that are not previously visited, would be checked. The paths with the least possible cost would be considered and all other would be discarded just like they do in single source shortest path problem.
However, the flow going out of any vertex, can be bifurcated to achieve the optimum cost of moving the flow from that vertex to the target. That can later be united at some eventual vertex on the way. The reason behind this is that a flow through any edge cannot exceed the capacity of that edge. Keeping this in mind the flow can be forked so that the accomplishment of minimum cost and the flow movement can be done together.
This problem can be thought of as the single source shortest paths problem, in which the source of the network must be considered the node that the paths are to be searched from.
Now as no anti-parallel edges are there so there would be nodes included other than the source and the target and there would be only one path possible between two nodes. The cost of visiting that edge would be equal to the cost function of the same edge.
So, the above discussion can be recapitulated to show the minimum cost flow problem in terms of graphs and flows as below:
Minimum cost problem is a set of shortest paths (least cost path) from one node to another in the graph (flow network) that constitute the cheapest path from origin node (single source) to target node.
If this statement is put into the form of a mathematical equation it yields the same formula that is used to get the minimum cost flow in a network.
Weak Duality for Maximum-Flow Problem
Minimum cut is the thing that can be considered as the weak duality for the maximum flow problem. Before getting into this, a brief understanding of maximum flow and the minimum cut is required.
 Each of the graph edge has a capacity. The capacity defines the data value that can go through that edge. The capacity is always greater than 0. One more thing is that if there is an edge going from a vertex v1 to vertex v2 than no edge can go from v2 to v1.
Maximum Flow:
In the above diagram, vertex s is the origin and the vertex t is the sink or destination. The capacity of each edge is shown alongside the edge.
Now, the possible flows paths from the origin to destination can be:
There might be a few more flow paths as well. The maximum amount of possible flow through a path is equal to the least capacity of an edge.
For example in the first flow path, the maximum flow would be 12.
Minimum Cut:
A cut in a network is the collection of network edges that, when deleted or ignored from the network stop the flow of data from the source to sink. Amongst the set of cuts the one that has the minimum capacity is known as the minimum cut.
For example:
In the above graph the possible cuts are:
Removal of any of the given set of edges would leave the network disconnected and reaching destination from source would not be possible either way.
In the possible cuts of the above network, the cuthas the least capacity and that is. is assigned a capacity 0 because that is in the reverse direction of and .
So, this is the minimum cut for the above mentioned network.
Dual program:
Dual for any linear program is the mirror image of itself. If dual is found for the program that itself is a dual of some linear program that results in the original linear program. The initial form of the linear program is known as the primal form.
The dual for the linear program of the maximum flow problem actually simulates the Maximum-Cut-Minimum-Flow theorem.
In writing the dual of a linear program, most convenient practice is to write the original equation in a form that is more aesthetic as compared to the primal form.
This is accomplished by reducing the number of constraints. This ends up in the creation of few new variables. Sometimes it might tend to the occurrence of many new variables in the primal equation.
To make this happen this, the flow network can be thought of as a collection of paths, through which the flow is travelling, rather than a collection of edges. This would diminish constraints in theprogram. Now the conservation constraints can be ignored in the program.
Now keeping the above discussion in mind, in the creation of dual, a variable is considered for path from source of the network s to the target of the network t. P is denoted as the set of path, for specifying how much flow is along the path p.
Now, the equations take the below form:
Maximize
… … (1)
Subject to the condition
… … (2)
… … (3)
Minimum-Cut Formulation:
Now as the linear program of the maximum flow has been expressed into the simpler terms, it is evident that there was only one new variable introduced in the modified form of the primal.
So in the dual form, only one new variable per edge of the network would be used.
Consider the new variable in the dual form be. For every edge of the network, there is one.
The linear program would now be as below:
Minimize
Subject to the condition:
;
;
Now, have a deeper understanding of the dual of the maximum flow linear program. The variable augments a weight to each of the edge. This weight can be thought of as the “length” from source to destination.
Now to find the minimum cut, the flow has to be minimized. So, the intention over here is to find the path that has the minimum flow. For this the objective function is intended to find the minimum path. The same is the yield of the Maximum-Flow-Minimum-Cut theorem.
Now, the objective function is the subject to the constraints that for every path that is constituted of the edges the minimum value is one unit. That means the source and the target are always separable or it can be said that they are always different nodes of the network.
Another constraint is that the value of the variable for any edge has to be either 0 or any positive integer. This ensures that the capacity can never be negative and that is what the basic rule for capacity of the flow network says.
This way it can be concluded that the dual of the linear program of the maximum flow of a network yield the linear program that represents the minimum cut for the same flow network.
Weak Duality Formulation:
Duality in linear programming is of two types:
1. Weak Duality
2. Strong Duality
For the instance, only Weak duality would be discussed over here.
Consider that there exists a linear program of the form:
Maximize
Subject to
And it is dual:
Minimize
Subject to:
Suppose both of them are viable.
Now, consider be viable for primal and be viable for dual form. This implies that:
In simple words, the objective function of the primal form of the linear program has got an upper limitand that is the objective function of the dual form of the same linear program.
Now, the weak duality is proved for the maximum flow and the minimum cut.
Consider that is a flow a network and is minimum cut of the network.
So it is to be proved that,
As it is known that the flow data from thesource to destination is always equal to the difference of the flow in the one direction and the reversedirection.
So,
Now, it is already evident that the flow through any edge is always less than or equal to the capacity of that edge.
So,
For a particular instance,
Now, as the flow is always nonnegative value,
And that proves that maximum flow linear program is bounded by its dual that is the min-cut manifestation.

When i was eighteen years old i went to the University of Piraeus and studied computer science in the Department of informatics.


Dimensions and dimension systems¶
Definition of physical dimensions.
Unit systems will be constructed on top of these dimensions.
Most of the examples in the doc use MKS system and are presented from the computer point of view: from a human point, adding length to time is not legal in MKS but it is in natural system; for a computer in natural system there is no time dimension (but a velocity dimension instead) - in the basis - so the question of adding time to length has no meaning.
-
class
sympy.physics.unitsystems.dimensions.
Dimension
[source]¶ This class represent the dimension of a physical quantities.
The dimensions may have a name and a symbol. All other arguments are dimensional powers. They represent a characteristic of a quantity, giving an interpretation to it: for example (in classical mechanics) we know that time is different from temperature, and dimensions make this difference (but they do not provide any measure of these quantites).
>>> from sympy.physics.unitsystems.dimensions import Dimension >>> length = Dimension(length=1) >>> length {'length': 1} >>> time = Dimension(time=1)
Dimensions behave like a dictionary where the key is the name and the value corresponds to the exponent.
Dimensions can be composed using multiplication, division and exponentiation (by a number) to give new dimensions. Addition and subtraction is defined only when the two objects are the same dimension.
>>> velocity = length.div(time) >>> velocity {'length': 1, 'time': -1} >>> length.add(length) {'length': 1} >>> length.pow(2) {'length': 2}
Defining addition-like operations will help when doing dimensional analysis.
Note that two dimensions are equal if they have the same powers, even if their names and/or symbols differ.
>>> Dimension(length=1) == Dimension(length=1, name="length") True >>> Dimension(length=1) == Dimension(length=1, symbol="L") True >>> Dimension(length=1) == Dimension(length=1, name="length", ... symbol="L") True
-
add
(other)[source]¶ Define the addition for Dimension.
Addition of dimension has a sense only if the second object is the same dimension (we don’t add length to time).
-
has_integer_powers
¶ Check if the dimension object has only integer powers.
All the dimension powers should be integers, but rational powers may appear in intermediate steps. This method may be used to check that the final result is well-defined.
-
is_dimensionless
¶ Check if the dimension object really has a dimension.
A dimension should have at least one component with non-zero power.
-
-
class
sympy.physics.unitsystems.dimensions.
DimensionSystem
(base, dims=(), name='', descr='')[source]¶ DimensionSystem represents a coherent set of dimensions.
In a system dimensions are of three types:
- base dimensions;
- derived dimensions: these are defined in terms of the base dimensions (for example velocity is defined from the division of length by time);
- canonical dimensions: these are used to define systems because one has to start somewhere: we can not build ex nihilo a system (see the discussion in the documentation for more details).
All intermediate computations will use the canonical basis, but at the end one can choose to print result in some other basis.
In a system dimensions can be represented as a vector, where the components represent the powers associated to each base dimension.
-
can_transf_matrix
¶ Compute the canonical transformation matrix from the canonical to the base dimension basis.
It is the inverse of the matrix computed with inv_can_transf_matrix().
-
dim
¶ Give the dimension of the system.
That is return the number of dimensions forming the basis.
-
extend
(base, dims=(), name='', description='')[source]¶ Extend the current system into a new one.
Take the base and normal units of the current system to merge them to the base and normal units given in argument. If not provided, name and description are overriden by empty strings.
-
get_dim
(dim)[source]¶ Find a specific dimension which is part of the system.
dim can be a string or a dimension object. If no dimension is found, then return None.
-
inv_can_transf_matrix
¶ Compute the inverse transformation matrix from the base to the canonical dimension basis.
It corresponds to the matrix where columns are the vector of base dimensions in canonical basis.
This matrix will almost never be used because dimensions are always define with respect to the canonical basis, so no work has to be done to get them in this basis. Nonetheless if this matrix is not square (or not invertible) it means that we have chosen a bad basis.
-
is_consistent
¶ Check if the system is well defined.
-
list_can_dims
¶ List all canonical dimension names.

“200 simple recipes using the produce from your plot
“The Allotment Cookbook Through the Year is the recipe book for those gardeners that would like to know how to cook delicious seasonal dishes to help make the most of their home-grown produce. Featuring over 200 recipes for popular crops such as apples, berries and herbs, this is packed with imaginative and inspiring ideas to turn your produce into healthy, fresh meals.
“Including techniques and expert advice to help you harvest, preserve and prepare your crops successfully, this is the perfect veg-grower’s kitchen companion.”
The Allotment Chef: home-grown recipes and seasonal stories, by Paul Merrett
“Michelin-starred chef and star of BBC2’s Economy Gastronomy Paul Merrett is using the plot…
“The Allotment Chef follows Paul, his wife and two reluctant children as they learn to garden, make what they hope is their final trip to the supermarket, build relationships with fellow allotmenteers and slowly watch their crops flourish and sometimes fail. They contend with the inevitable disappointments along the way with good humour and perseverance, and only the occasional temper tantrum.
“As the asparagus poke through the soil and the battle against the lettuce-munching slugs is won, Paul turns his humble vegetables into recipes worthy of his epicurean background. He includes over 85 allotment-inspired recipes, including simple dishes such as one pot vegetable stew and meringue cake with summer berries as well as more involved dishes such as pumpkin ravioli, tea-smoked chicken breast on allotment vegetables and steamed walnut and allspice sponge with roasted plums.
“Paul’s charming narrative is interspersed with his personal take on food ethics, celebrity chefs and the legacy of his self-sufficient grandparents. Reportage and food photography accompanies his story. Part recipe book, part memoir, The Allotment Chef is an engaging, informative and humorous read.”
The Edible Garden: how to have your garden and eat it, by Alys Fowler
“In this timely new book, Gardeners’ World’s thrifty and resourceful Alys Fowler shows that there is a way to take the good life and re-fashion it to fit in with life in the city.
“Abandoning the limitations of traditional gardening methods, she has created a beautifully productive garden where tomatoes sit happily next to roses, carrots are woven between the lavenders and potatoes grow in pots on the patio. And all of this is produced in a way that mimics natural systems, producing delicious homegrown food for her table.
“She shares her favourite recipes for the hearty dishes, pickles and jams she makes to use up her bountiful harvest, proving that no-one need go hungry on her grow-your-own regime. Good for the pocket, good for the environment and hugely rewarding for the soul, The Edible Garden urges urbanites everywhere to chuck out the old gardening rules and create their own haven that’s as good to look at as it is to eat.”
Other great garden-related reads
Of Cabbages and Kings, by Caroline Foley
“This colourful and lively history book tells the story of allotments from their origin in the 17th century protests against enclosures to the present day. Includes the effects of the Napoleonic Wars, the Corn Laws, the Diggers, the role of allotments in both World Wars and the present-day revival. The author champions the history of allotments in the hope of protecting them for the future.”
The Garden Cottage Diaries, by Fiona J. Houston
“Bemoaning the evils of the modern diet, Fiona Houston was challenged to prove her claim that people ate better 200 years ago than they do today — and so decided to commit herself to a year of ‘simplicity’.
“She lived in a one-roomed cottage, entirely on her own resources, for a full year. Find out how she donned historic dress, grew or gathered all her food, chopped wood and fetched water, fashioned soap, quills and candles, and waged heroic battles with damp, mice and mould.”
Winter: an anthology for the changing seasons, edited by Melissa Harrison
“Winter is a withdrawal: quiet and dark and cold. But in the dim light frost shimmers, stars twinkle and hearths blaze as we come together to keep out the chill. In spite of the season, life persists: visiting birds fill our skies, familiar creatures find clever ways to survive, and the world reveals winter riches to those willing to venture outdoors.
“In prose and poetry spanning seven hundred years, Winter delights in the brisk pleasures and enduring beauty of the year’s turning. Featuring new writing from Patrick Barkham, Satish Kumar and Anita Sethi, extracts from the work of Robert Macfarlane, James Joyce and Kathleen Jamie, and a range of exciting new voices from across the UK, this invigorating collection evokes the joys and the consolations of this magical time of year.”
Eden, by Tim Smit
“At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the impossible was delivered. From the sterile depths of a disused china clay pit in Cornwall rose one of the most remarkable and ambitious ventures in recent memory. The Eden Project’s Biomes, the world’s largest conservatories, are the symbol of a living theatre of plants and people and their interdependence, of regeneration and of a pioneering forum for the exploration of possible futures.
“This is the extraordinary story of the Eden Project, of its conception, design and construction, of the larger-than-life personalities who made it happen and of all that has happened since its doors were first opened to the public in 2001. It is now undisputedly one of the world’s great gardens with more than 17 million visitors flocking there and projects and partnerships all over the world.”
Spotted Pigs and Green Tomatoes: a year in the life of our farm, by Rosie Boycott
“After leaving the editorship of the Daily Express, Rosie Boycott wasn’t sure what to do next. A terrible car accident forced her to rethink her life, turning her in a direction she would never have previously imagined.
“Working a small farm in Somerset proves a daunting task, but Rosie and her new husband Charlie are determined, and their immersion in rural living, hilarious and profoundly moving, reaps rewards they never expected. Pigs, ducks and geese are fattened for the butcher; vegetables and cut flowers are grown for a reluctant marketplace; and Rosie and Charlie discover much about the hard graft of running a smallholding.
“They learn too about weightier issues that affect the local community of Ilminster – particularly the new supermarket that threatens the soul of the local town centre. And Rosie finds recovery in the rhythms of the seasons.”
Notes from Walnut Tree Farm, by Roger Deakin
“For the last six years of his life, Roger Deakin kept notebooks in which he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations about and around his home, Walnut Tree Farm. Collected here are the very best of these writings, capturing his extraordinary, restless curiosity about nature as well as his impressions of our changing world.”
A Year in Christine’s Garden, by Christine Walkden
“A Year in Christine’s Garden is the utterly down-to-earth account of one woman’s passion for plants.
“Recounting stories from her hectic life in horticulture, Christine Walkden’s diary is a heartwarming account of octogenarian neighbours, living with a film crew and helping friends with their gardening needs. Reflecting all the charm of her BBC2 television series, Christine’s narrative paints a picture of the day-to-day beauty that surrounds her.  With irrepressible enthusiasm, she interweaves tips and advice to prove that the best gardens are approachable and achievable.
“Forget fashion, forget trends - Christine’s garden is about no-nonsense planting and growing what you enjoy. As the year progresses, this warm, but frank diary brings to life all the moments of pride, excitement, relaxation and laugh-out-loud fun that make Christine’s garden a haven of contentment.”
How to Read an English Garden, by Andrew Eburne
“Richard Taylor, author of the best-selling How to Read a Church, joins forces with garden historian Andrew Eburne to produce the ultimate guide to historic and modern gardens.
“Gardens are amongst the fastest-growing visitor attractions today - in the UK alone 15 million people will visit a garden this year. How to Read an English Garden is the essential book for every garden lover. It provides an account of the different elements of gardens of all ages and explains their meaning and their history: here, you’ll find the answer to such questions as: when were tulips introduced into our gardens, and what was ‘tulip-mania’? What is a knot-garden, and what was the origin of its design? Who was ‘Capability’ Brown, and how did he get his name? Why are mazes such a common feature in English garden design? In addition, the book explains how lawns, flowerbeds, trees and ponds came to be a feature not just of grand houses but of gardens everywhere.”

A workshop to be held Thursday October 29th at the 2015 IEEE International Big Data Conference
The workshop schedule with links to papers and presentations
Computing is fundamentally transforming science. We have entered the so- called Fourth Paradigm in which observational data is threatening to overwhelm scientists. There are now numerous examples of the five "V's" of Big Data (Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, and Value) impacting the geosciences. The rapid improvements in scientific instruments have led to a massive growth in data production. As data volumes often prohibit transfer of such Big Data, it is becoming increasingly important to develop sustainable infrastructure, clever data management and reduction analytics, and community, around Geoscience Big Data. The increasing emphasis on sharing and collaborating has led to a growing focus on discovery and variety.
In addition, scientific data, and the processes used to analyze that data, can differ substantially from those encountered with Big Data in other fields. Moreover, educating the next generation of geoscientists is itself becoming a pressing issue.
This workshop focuses on highlighting the state-of-the-art research surrounding Big Data in the geosciences. The Workshop Chairs and Program Committee, with assistance from the Open Geospatial Consortium, seek to engage the scientific community in understanding their big data challenges and problems. Finally, we aim to identify gaps in current technologies as well as gaps in the education of new data scientists. This workshop will provide a venue for participants to showcase innovative tools and services, build new collaborations, and hear from application scientists and educators about the challenges they face.

All psychology students around the world have problems with the nooks and crannies of APA style. Most of us (hopefully) know the basics without consulting a manual or asking a colleague, but there are always those obscure rules nobody really uses regularly. How to cite a TV series? How are appendixes handled? How to cite an unpublished manuscript? All these questions and many more have an answer - but the problem is, where to find it? Online, of course. Here, I offer a list of useful APA style resources and their short descriptions. Maybe this will help you sometime in the future, when you're wondering how to use et al at 4 AM.
If I missed your favorite APA style and formatting resource, be sure to share it with us in the comments!

Tasker: automate your android phone
If there is one app I can definitely recommend when having an android phone, it is Tasker. This app is not free, but well worth the money. When you have to do something on your phone manually over and over, you can just automate it using the app. It also does not use a lot of battery but will potentially save some.
One of the most simple things I do to save on battery, is to turn off wifi when I leave home, and turn it back on when at work and vice verca. Also, when I step outside I might want to get into the car and connect with it over Bluetooth. I would have to enable bluetooth when leaving home or work.
Here is how I automated it using Tasker:
I created a task that will turn on Wifi and turn off Bluetooth:
- Open Tasker and in the tab
TASKS
, make a new task calledAt Home/Work
. - In this task add an action
Net -> WiFi
, and setSet
toon
. - Press back button to confirm.
- Add a new action
Net -> Bluetooth
, andSet
tooff
. - Press back button again to confirm task.
Then I created a task that will do the oposite:
- Open Tasker and make a new task called
Leaving Home/Work
. - In this task add an action
Net -> WiFi
, and setSet
tooff
. - Press back button to confirm.
- Add a new action
Net -> Bluetooth
, andSet
toon
. - Press back button again to confirm task.
Now we that we have the tasks ready, we just need to make them trigger at the right time. I will be using location.
Trigger tasks:
- Go to the tab
PROFILES
and add a new profile based on location. - Either fill in the right lat and lon, or longpress the map and it will put a marker there.
Adjust the radius to 100m and whether or not you want to use gps or just net. I only use
Net
. - Link your
At Home/Work
task to the profile. You see it is linked with->
icon in profile. This indicates that the task will be triggered when you enter the profile location. - Long press the task in profiles and select
Add Exit Task
and select theLeaving Home/Work
task. You will see it linked with the<-
icon. This indicates the task that will be triggered when you exit that location.


The Hurricane (1999) 3 stars out of 4. Starring Denzel Washington, Dan Hayeda and Vicellas Reon Shannon. Directed by Norman Jewison.
Norman Jewison's "The Hurricane" is like a powerful force of nature, unbridled and undisciplined.
This true story of boxer Rubin `Hurricane' Carter features an intense performance by Denzel Washington, which should garner him an Academy Award best actor nomination.
But Jewison's staging of the film is akin an undisciplined young boxer. He's a flailer instead of a fighter, always looking for the knock-out punch and forgetting to jab and feint.
It is Washington's bridled and disciplined portrayal of Carter that carries this movie. Playing a man who turns his rage and disappointment inward, he refuses to be beaten by the system.
Inside he may suffer, but outwardly he remains proud and defiant. He refuses to wear a prison uniform saying that he `won't wear the clothes of a guilty man.' His body may be incarcerated by the state, but his mind and soul remain free.
For the uninitiated Carter was a championship boxer who in 1966 was railroaded to prison for the murder of two men and a woman at a bar in Paterson, N.J.
He served more than 20 years before his conviction was overturned by a federal judge and he was released..
To simplify the plot - and the film - Jewison has created a villain, a racist detective played by Dan Hayeda who seems to have had it out for Carter since he was a kid.
Unfortunately, this weakens the movie by allowing society and the prevailing judicial system of that era off the hook and transforming the racism Carter faced into a personal one-on-one vendetta.
And director Jewison shows no subtlety in his depiction of Hayeda's Detective Della Pesca.
Yet by force of his acting skill Washington transcends the script's and Jewison's flaws. The movie crackles when he is on screen,
"The Hurricane" is two stories.  The teen-ager, Lesra Martin (Vicellous Reon Shannon). finds a copy of Carter's autobiography at a book sale, buys it, reads it and is inspired by it.
He writes Carter and a friendship develops. He helps the bitter boxer by offering hope as he enlists his three activist guardians to help battle for Carter's freedom.
The script takes liberties with the facts in the case, trimming the number of people who fought for Carter's release. Yet it still remains a powerful document,
Young Shannon gives a fine performance as the idealistic, hero-worshipping Lesra, who with the help of his guardians has raised himself from his street-ghetto environment.
But this is Washington's movie from start to finish.  It is the actor's strongest performance to date in a stellar career that already has included some outstanding work - "Glory," "Philadelphia" and "A Soldier's Story," to name a few.
"The Hurricane" has its shortcomings, but the performances and subject matter compensate for its inadequacies.

Ex- Vegas payment processing firm chief guilty in fraud case
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A British man who lived in Las Vegas and Texas has pleaded guilty in U.S. court in Nevada to bilking hundreds of thousands of victims out of at least $11 million, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Gareth David Long acknowledged that he abused personal and financial information obtained through his Las Vegas-based payment processing firm, V Internet Corp, Assistant U.S. Attorney General Jody Hunt said in a statement.
Long acknowledged drawing money from checking accounts of more than 375,000 victims without authorization during a six-month period in 2013, and having employees tell victims they had authorized the charges in connection with an online payday loan application.
Prosecutors said evidence showed thousands more transactions totaling another $11 million were rejected by victims’ banks.
Long, 40, could face more than seven years in federal prison for his felony fraud and identity theft convictions.
Long was indicted in March on a 39-count indictment accusing him of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering. His plea avoided a trial.
Prosecutors say the company operated from 2008 through 2013. It also used the names Altcharge and Check Process, and Long registered the payday consumer loan websites fastloanfast.com, loan4utoday.com and fastloan4me.com.
U.S. postal inspectors reported seizing more than $2.9 million from Long’s company bank accounts.
The government also sought to confiscate a residential property in Cedar Hill, Texas, three airplanes, cars, a firetruck and construction and farm equipment that authorities said was purchased with proceeds of fraudulent activity.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon scheduled sentencing Feb. 20.

For quite a while I’ve been busy with my life and happy with Arch Linux on all of my computers. However, recently I came to a somewhat regretful realization that I have hardly any time to tinker with computers and that I have to set everything from the ground up every single time I decide to do a full system re-install. I do like to know what’s under the hood of my operating system and I like extremely minimal setups (bare window manager + most basic tools), but they're very time-consuming. Also, to be completely frank, my sense of composition is so severely lacking that my UI always ends up looking generic. Hence, I decided to explore some GUI-heavy, user-friendly distributions with their rich offering of pre-installed software.
The first choice was my old love, Lubuntu and its spin-off project, Peppermint OS (a new version was released recently). No surprises here. Contrary to Linux Mint, which I also tested by-the-by, Lubuntu was highly responsive and as always very light on resources. I find the selection of pre-installed software to be just perfect. Firefox has never failed me and I use Pidgin on a daily basis as a multi-protocol messenger tool (mostly for IRC). As Lubuntu is a lightweight flavor of Ubuntu, one has immediate access to the vast repositories hosted by Canonical and its partners. Peppermint OS is equally interesting. It's a bit like Lubuntu, though with a more cloud-centric twist. The look of the UI is visually pleasing and the overall resource footprint low, because some functionalities were encapsulated as browser plugins. An interesting approach, considering the ever-growing reliance on the Web and cloud storage.
Unsurprisingly, the second choice was Manjaro Linux. It was my first lightweight Linux distribution with great hardware support and a strong, reliable base in Arch Linux. In fact, Manjaro encouraged me to try Archbang and finally Arch proper. Seeing Arch’s popularity in decline and the multitude of Manjaro’s flavors, I decided to give it a spin. I started with my old-time favorite, the Openbox edition (previously, the only available edition), but also gave the i3 and minimal Xfce editions a try. I was honestly awestruck by the minimal Xfce edition! For a very long time (save for AntiX) I have not seen such a light and efficient adaptation of Xfce. I liked that desktop environment for its resemblance to the old Windows UI, but always felt it’s heavier on resources than it should be based on its looks. Though here I am, mesmerized by Xfce once more!
To conclude, I greatly appreciate the time I have spent with Arch Linux and the insurmountable amount of experience I have gained from using it. While I no longer have the time to utilize it to its full potential, I look forward to using the many established user-friendly Linux distributions.

THE LAST SEDUCTION A film review by Eric Grossman Copyright 1994 LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT
A good thriller is increasingly hard to come by. All too often, filmmakers rely on tired genre conventions and clics that never raise the audience's heart rate above resting. Fortunately, THE LAST SEDUCTION, playing at Laemmle's Sunset-5, does not fall into this trap. Director John Dahl, who has traveled the cinematic road of film noir before with his two previous outings, KILL ME AGAIN and RED ROCK WEST, does a superb job in creating subtle, powerful tension in this simple but engaging story.
Linda Fiorentino gives as a good of a performance that I have seen this year as Bridget Gregory, a smart, sexy, nefarious woman who decides to double-cross her seemingly clean-cut husband, Clay (Bill Pullman), who has just received a large amount of cash from a drug-deal. Bridget takes off with the cash and leaves New York as quickly as possible for Chicago. On the way, she stops in the small town of Beston where she meets Mike Swale (Peter Berg), a small town guy who wants to be bigger than what destiny has planned for him. Mike immediately falls for Bridget and hopes that her big-city attitude and pedigree will rub off on him. With the advice of her lawyer (J.T. Walsh), Bridget decides to lay low for a while in Beston and she soon seduces Mike to participate in her twisted schemes.
The movie is simple enough, but what is interesting is how Dahl and screenwriter Steve Barancik hook us in with essentially three characters and a small town. The movie works on a psychological level, the place where all thrillers function best. There are no big car-chases, no big gun-fights, no buckets of blood, just an amazingly well written, well acted set of characters, particularly Fiorentino. She is so cold-hearted, so conniving, so mean, and unfortunately for the men who get involved with her, so sexy that we cannot help but be fascinated by her. The movie takes the femme fatale to new heights and while this may or may not be progress, we now have a movie where the woman is truly more smart, more cunning and more dangerous than the men around her.
What also makes Fiorentino's performance so good is that Peter Berg and Bill Pullman play so well against her. Berg is able to find the right balance of naive, neediness and suppressed anger for his character. Bill Pullman, with his wild facial expressions and pseudo-calm dialogue creates a sympathetic character whose biggest fault is that he is smart, but not smart enough to keep up with his tricky wife.
Besides allowing Bridget and Mike to meet, the small town setting for the film was a crucial choice. There is a scene where Bridget is walking down a Beston sidewalk and she is taken aback when strangers smile and say hello. She is out of her environment but it is fun to watch how quickly she masters and manipulates it as well as its people.
Fresh and original, THE LAST SEDUCTION has all that is good about a small, independent film while having the production values of a studio picture. Linda Pearl's production design, Jeffrey Jur's cinematography and Eric L. Beason's editing are all first rate. If you like film noir, good filmmaking, and suspense, go see this film.

The Borrowers
UK/USA. 1997. Director - Peter Hewitt, Screenplay - John Kamps & Gavin Scott, Based on the Novels by Mary Norton, Producers - Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner & Rachel Talaly, Photography - Trevor Brooker & John Fenner, Music - Harry Gregson-Williams, Score Producer - Hans Zimmer, Visual Effects Supervisor - Peter Chiang, Digital Visual Effects - The Digital Film Co & The Magic Camera Co (Supervisor - Alan Marques), Special Effects Supervisor - Digby Milner, Production Design - Gemma Jackson, Supervising Art Director - Jim Morahan. Production Company - Working Title Films.  Teenage Arrietty is found by and befriends a human boy, Pete Lender, just in time to learn the human owners are being evicted and the house to be demolished by lawyer Ocious P. Potter. Pete's attempt to move them goes wrong and Arrietty and her brother are left behind where they witness Potter obtaining the deed that rightfully belongs to the Lenders. Grabbing it, they are then frenetically pursued by Potter who brings in an exterminator to put them down at all costs.
This is the third adaption of Mary Norton's popular series of children's books about the adventures of a family of tiny people who live in the wainscotting of a human house. The first book was first published in 1952 and led to four sequels between then and 1982. The first film adaption was a little seen production made in 1973 about which I can find next to no information. The second and best was two sets of six-part half-hour British-made tv serials which aired in 1993 and 1994 respectively, adapting the first four books under the umbrella title `The Borrowers'. The British serials and this 1997 Anglo-American co-production make for interesting comparisons. The tv serials had a quiet sense of wondrous adventure that was balanced with a droll understatement in a way that was quite sublime. On the other hand this film, while retaining the basic idea and the same principal characters, has thrown out most other semblances to turn the books into a big-screen special effects extravaganza. Case in point being the scene where Arrietty befriends the human boy and introduces him to her parents - the first serial took several episodes to develop the friendship before it was found out by her parents; the film doesn't even bother with the scene of taking him to meet her parents but simply cuts from Pod saying he will never accept the idea to the boy placing them in a box to be moved. Here the books have been reworked to turn them into a take on `Home Alone', with John Goodman having been written in as an odious lawyer whose sole purpose is to act as a slapstick butt of the ingenuity of the little people.
But if one is prepared to take the film on this level, it does such with a considerable degree of energy and visual invention. The balance of big and small sets and special effects is amazingly good and there are some delightful set-pieces with characters trapped on lit lightbulbs; pole-vaulting across sinks, skidding along pieces of soap and trampolining off appliance handles to get across a kitchen; becoming trapped inside the fridge in an attempt to steal ice-cream; and enthralling scenes racing to avoid the villain as he smashes a hammer through the wall and so forth. But the film is only really constructed around these effects set-pieces and, while it entertains a good deal, one wishes it had slowed a little to allow the story more time.
There is a rather bizarre design scheme to the whole film which tries to create a fantastacized 1950s Midlands industrial city landscape - sort of like a combination of `Coronation Street' (if one can imagine `Coronation Street''s brick backstreets with airships moored above them) and the Gothic industrial nightmare city out of the first `Batman' film (but with the lights turned up). And in a gag that has been stolen directly from Peter Jackson's `Meet the Feebles' all the vehicles in the film are Morris Minors, including the joke of having the villain of the piece ride in a black stretch Morris Minor.

Janet Street-Porter was told to ask Paul Burrell about royals on I'm A Celebrity
Loose Women's Janet Street-Porter told her former I'm A Celebrity campmate Paul Burrell that she was told to quiz him about the Queen and Princess Diana
by Charlotte TuttonJanet Street-Porter was reunited with her former I'm A Celebrity campmate Paul Burrell on Loose Women on Wednesday.
Things appeared a little frosty between them at the start of the interview, but it was all in good humour.
Janet claimed Paul was "vile" to her on the show, with Paul confessing it was down to the fact she refused to let him cook for the camp.
The former royal butler and Janet took part back in the ITV jungle series in 2004, both providing some of the most entertaining scenes ever on the show hosted by Ant and Dec.
During the series, Paul opened up on royal secrets about the Queen, while also opening up on his friendship with the late Princess Diana.
But something he might not have known is that those conversations were orchestrated by show bosses, according to Janet.
The journalist admitted to Paul on Wednesday that she was asked to push Paul on topics regarding the royal family.
Wanting "the dirt" on the Queen and the other royals, producers apparently told Janet in secret to get Paul to spill the beans.
She explained that her luxury item was a diary, and that every day she was given 15 minutes to write in it.
After taking it back from her, they'd encourage her to speak with Paul.
She told him on air: "When I was in there, every day I was getting instructions from producers and they were saying, 'You’ve got to get Paul to talk about the Queen.
"'We don’t wanna hear about his mash potato, we wanna know the dirt on Diana'."
Janet added: "You came up with the most fantastic stuff about the royal corgis weeing."
He denied this was a secret before appearing to move the conversation on.
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12:30pm on ITV.
