So, to compensate this lack of IPython support in Spyder's console, I have implemented the following enhancements for the standard Python interpreter (this is not much, but it provides all the IPython features I am using personnally):
- I have fixed the PyQt input hook issue on Windows platforms. Before this revision, the console was crashing (non-responsive actually) on Windows platforms after trying to manipulate Qt objects interactively, like interactive plotting with Matplotlib for example. Now, when enabling the "Replace PyQt input hook by Spyder's" option (which is enabled by default on Windows platforms), the standard Python interpreter may be used to do interactive plotting, even on Windows.
- Plus, I have implemented some basic special commands in the standard Python interpreter (see here more details), adding support for %pwd, %ls, %clear or !dir (or !ls on UNIX platforms), etc. (I haven't implemented the %edit, %run and other similar commands which have really no use within Spyder).
- And I have fixed a bug with PYTHONSTARTUP substitution option (the packages imported in the startup script were not available in the Python interpreter).
These three changesets were intended to facilitate the use of standard Python interpreter as an interactive computing shell. I've also created two PYTHONSTARTUP scripts (on my machine), one to support Matplotlib's pylab interface and the other to support guiqwt's interactive plotting mode:
- Matplotlib's startup script:
- guiqwt startup script:
To select you own startup script, go to Tools > Preferences > Console > Advanced settings:

Kik has announced the company (and popular messaging service) has crossed the 50 million user marker. Congratulations to them indeed. The only issue is their lack of support for Windows Phone. Those of us who have used the service on Windows Phone in the past have enjoyed a strong experience, but the company has no immediate plans for a Windows Phone 8 version.
For that very reason, we're being left out. Consumers on iOS, Android and BlackBerry are bringing out the bottles of champagne, while Windows Phone owners are left on the side. It's a real shame as we know many who actively utilise the service (we did until WhatsApp stepped up its game), and many were rightfully looking forward to seeing what Kik could bring with its new developer platform (building on its Kik Cards product).
This developer platform would introduce web apps, including games that could be sent, received and opened in conversations. This would help Kik differentiate itself from competing messaging services, as well as monetise the product. So what's contributing to the quick growth of the service, which launched in 2010? Kik CEO Ted Livingston said the following in an interview with Financial Post:
"Kik has become the number one way to connect with people on mobile. People use Kik to talk to people they know, like friends and family, but they also use [it] to talk to people they don't know."
It's noted that the latter (the meeting of random strangers) is what's really pushing the service forward. Think Chatroulette, but without the visual nudity and on the mobile. There's also the fact that mobile numbers aren't used, in favour of usernames which is believed to have also helped build a strong following. The numbers are fairly staggering with an estimated 200,000 new users registering for Kik each day, entirely through word of mouth. It's just a shame they're not focusing on Windows Phone.
But with alternatives like WhatsApp and more, who needs 'em? You can download Kik from the Windows Phone Store.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ryan Vogelsong has a little running joke that he is going to plunk San Francisco teammate Pablo Sandoval in the World Baseball Classic to keep the Panda from a three-homer game like the one he produced in Game 1 of the World Series last fall.
Sandoval plans to play nice once he pulls on the Venezuela uniform.
"He's my teammate, I don't want to fight," Sandoval said with a smile.
Both know the team to beat: Two-time WBC winner Japan.
Joe Torre is returning to the top step of the dugout to manage the Americans, who have yet to even reach the championship game of this hugely popular international event.
Team USA has plenty of motivation to make up for two poor showings in this tournament. The Americans didn't get out of the second round in 2009, then lost in the semifinals to Japan three years later. Now, they are making plans to reach the semifinals and final at San Francisco's AT&T Park.
"We'll probably be disappointed if we don't make it to San Francisco," said Vogelsong, slated to be the No. 2 starter in the U.S. rotation. "First and foremost, we're focused on getting there."
The Japanese topped Cuba in the inaugural Classic in 2006, then South Korea three years later. Japan is known for its rigorous spring trainings, which typically begin a couple of weeks before the major league clubs and feature all-day workouts with just a short break to eat.
"It's such a dedicated group of players. I go back to going over to Japan as a member of the Mets back in '74 and just noticing and at that time I didn't think necessarily that the Japanese could play at our level, maybe stature-wise," Torre recalled. "Even though their game was clean and disciplined, it just didn't look like they were as good as we were. That's certainly has changed."
Rockies slugger Carlos Gonzalez will play alongside Sandoval for Venezuela. The World Series champion Giants have had to plan carefully this spring to get through the Cactus League with much of their roster headed to the WBC — Marco Scutaro on Venezuela, Angel Pagan and Andres Torres on Puerto Rico, Vogelsong and reliever Jeremy Affeldt on the U.S. team, closer Sergio Romo pitching for Mexico.
"It's my first time representing and I'm really looking forward to doing it," Pagan said. "The first two Classics I couldn't do it because I was either trying to make a team or I was trying to be the everyday player. It fills my heart to go out there and play in front of my countrymen and in front of my family. I did it when I played in New York and Puerto Rico but it's not the same when you're wearing the P.R. jersey. It's going to be a little different, and I'm ready."
And CarGo sure is confident in Venezuela's chances.
"I don't think we need practice — Venezuela doesn't need practice," he said. "Japan, they train together for a long time and get prepared for that. We don't really get prepared for that, we all focus on our teams. 'OK, you've got to go play for your country.' We're all going to be blind, put the uniform on, let's play."
Many players are torn between playing for their country or playing for the club that signs their paycheck — especially those who might be on the bubble of making the roster or earning a starting job.
Gonzalez said the Venezuelans feel tremendous pressure to take part in the Classic, yet he understands why Seattle ace Felix Hernandez has passed after signing a $175 million, seven-year contract earlier this month that made him the highest-paid pitcher in baseball.
"You have to represent your team," Gonzalez said. "You see all the news about King Felix not playing for Venezuela and the whole country changes, they get upset that you're not going to play for your country. They think it's all about the money but, you know what, we've been working since we were 16 years old and we came from Venezuela to represent. Especially King Felix, he's been playing since he was 16 with Seattle. He's a franchise player who was about to sign the biggest contract. It's crazy how people feel bad about it. He has to think about his future, he has to think about his family. I think made the right choice."
The inaugural 2006 Classic featured a pool-play format, while 2009 was double-elimination — and this one will be a combination of both. The first round will be pool play, with the top two teams advancing. The second round is double-elimination, and the top two teams will reach the semifinals.
The Americans will play their round-robin games at the Arizona Diamondbacks' Chase Field in Phoenix.
"I'm not sure that our players weren't excited," Torre said of the previous two WBC tournaments. "The guys who have played this before were excited to get back to it. I think it's still something to get a little used to. Let's admit it, you play the USA team, MLB, even though there are a number of MLB players obviously playing for other countries, it's like putting on your Sunday best, you know, 'We're excited because we have a chance to beat them at their own game' so to speak."
Semifinals will be played March 17-18, with the championship March 19 in the Giants' waterfront ballpark.
That's where Sandoval cleared the fences three times in a Game 1 World Series win against the Tigers.
The guy known as Kung Fu Panda hopes to find his groove again for his country.
"I'm trying to get the Triple Crown," Sandoval said of the World Series, Venezuelan championship and World Baseball Classic.
Even if it does mean he gets hit by Vogelsong along the way.
AP Sports Writer Bob Baum contributed to this story.
—Animated crowds so different than the regular MLB supporters, complete with instruments, patriotic chants, face paint and flags. More than 1.5 million fans have attended games in first two WBC tournaments.
—This year's field went from 16 in previous two events to 28 countries that had a chance to qualify. The top 12 nations from the last WBC were already in, then the other four determined from 28 teams through qualifying. The WBC winner will be named world champion for the first time.
—It's now a six-game, modified double-elimination format. The inaugural 2006 Classic featured a pool-play format, while 2009 was double-elimination — and this one will be a combination of both. The first round will be pool play, with the top two teams advancing. The second round is double-elimination, and the top two teams will reach the semifinals.
—Americans on a mission: Team USA has yet to reach the championship game of the first two Classics.
—Players will be subject to drug testing by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
—San Juan, Puerto Rico, will host games for the third time at Hiram Bithorn Stadium, to be played March 7-10.
—Sparkling new Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the shared spring venue of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, will be on display for the world to see. The ballpark hosts Pool D games between the U.S., Italy, Mexico and qualifier Canada.

Razzle-dazzled by the tablet-computer revolution, a number of restaurant chains in the Twin Cities have become convinced that putting touch-screen gizmos at their tables is a hot idea.
I wasn't so sure until recently. Most of these attempts to integrate consumer technology with public dining struck me as ambitious and innovative — but flawed in execution.
I love how Buffalo Wild Wings has used iPads at tables in a few of its locations, but I loathe how these have been wrapped in bulky, ugly cases that awkwardly incorporate credit-card swipers. Talk about sucking all the sexiness out of Apple's iconic tablet.
Local Chili's locations have gone in a different direction with small non-Apple touch terminals on stands.
These, like the ones at Buffalo Wings, are used for game playing, menu perusing, Internet accessing and bill paying (also via a built-in swiper), but the devices just do not have the allure of Apple hardware.
Now, someone has pulled off the tablet-at-your-table thing with near perfection, and I am sold on the concept.
The restaurants in question are at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and are part of a Concourse G renovation that ultimately will offer roughly 2,500 public-access iPads as far as the eye can see.
For now, about 250 Apple tablets are set up at a handful of restaurants, including Japanese joint Shoyu and the French-themed Mimosa. You can't miss the iPads when you settle into a chair or onto a bar stool: Every place setting has its own iPad on a metal stand, front and center.
This would be annoying if what the tablets displayed on their screens wasn't compelling, but the folks involved have worked a miracle here. New York-based OTG management has packed the tablets with useful content and tools, all in an elegant interface that is easy for anyone to master.
Let's start with food ordering. Travelers can skim through colorful food and drink offerings, touch what they want, check out as if they were buying something on Amazon.com, swipe their cards through sturdy card readers ensconced in the tables or bar counters and sit back to wait for the orders.
The food arrives quickly. I ordered a salad at Mimosa one day, and sushi at Shoyu on another day, and got my grub promptly each time. This is huge, since travelers tend to be in a hurry.
They're also paranoid about any changes in flight times or gate assignments, and the iPads put them at ease with Delta Air Lines updates that are always just a glance or tap away.
A handy "Internet" section with large, colorful tiles provides access to Google's Gmail, Microsoft's MSN, social media via Facebook and Twitter, the latest news via Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal and more. Separately, the tablets have apps like Epicurious, USA Today, Google Maps, CNBC, the Weather Channel and Everyday Health along with a handful of simple, family-friendly games like checkers, chess, hangman and tic-tac-toe.
If what you want is not shown, use an MSN-themed browser to access the Web content of your choice.
This is all terrific but needs tweaking. I found the MSN browser to be awkward and sluggish. In Gmail, if I opened a photo attached to a message, I got stuck and had to start over.
I ran into other little problems. Each place setting has a couple of power outlets along with a pair of USB ports for plugging in an iPhone or other device for charging, but some of the ports I tried didn't work.
And the fact that the tablets are tethered to the tables and bar counters, while understandable, makes them a tad ungainly to use. At least, the iPads' protective cases aren't too thick and heavy.
In an inspired display of industrial engineering, those metal stands are designed to resemble stiletto heels. As a dude, I didn't notice that until it was pointed out to me, but now I think it's cool.
Even cooler are the Apple Mac Mini computers installed inside tables and bar counters to update the iPad software and process card-swiper transactions. Virtually none of the travelers stopping in for a bite will know the computers are there, but as an Apple guy I'm over the moon about this.
And, yes, the food is pretty good, too.

We built several features which will make it very easy for the teacher and their students to use Mindomo in the classroom: custom assignments, setting up groups for students, instant access to students' maps, etc.
Use mind maps for brainstorming and understanding ideas revolving around a central topic. Use concept maps to see how concepts are connected. Use outlines to refine maps and save them in a linear way.
It's very simple to add and use Mindomo from the school's Google Apps or Office365 account. Also, our LTI integrations provide a single click access to Mindomo from the most popular LMSs: Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Desire2Learn, itslearning, Schoology, etc.
The 'Presenter' feature lets students turn their maps into slide-by-slide presentations. This way they can show others their thought process as they developed the maps.
iPad and Android native apps for mind mapping online and offline while using a smooth, simplified interface.
Our playback mode lets you keep track of all the changes each student makes on a map: added topics, new connections, uploaded images and videos, etc.
Students can make their maps more engaging by searching web images directly from the map and adding them with just one click.

Bell Helicopter has announced it will install the final assembly line for the new five-seat short light single (SLS) at Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) in Louisiana. There, the company plans to create 115 direct jobs and an estimated 136 indirect jobs. The investment in equipment and tooling is valued at $11.4 million.
"We considered several sites for this new facility, and Louisiana's proposal demonstrated the state's commitment to economic development," noted Bell President & CEO John Garrison in a statement. Under a scheme arranged with Louisiana Economic Development (LED), Bell will lease space for its SLS assembly operation in a new 82,300-square-foot, $26.3-million hangar. The facility will be funded by the State of Louisiana and owned by the airport.
Construction will begin in the first half of 2014. Bell intends to start hiring employees for the new facility by 2015 and production is scheduled to start by 2016.
Bell and LED began discussions in July. To secure the project, the State of Louisiana offered a "competitive incentive package" that includes performance-based grants of $4.0 million for lease support, $3.8 million for infrastructure and equipment and $200,000 to reimburse relocation expenses.
Garrison in November confirmed the prototype is to fly in late 2014. For the "short light single," he promised a new name will be revealed by the Heli-Expo show in February 2014. The program is Bell's bid to re-enter the light single market with a new product, which will compete with the Robinson R66 and the Eurocopter EC120.
The SLS will be powered by a Turbomeca turboshaft – a first for a Bell aircraft. It will offer a load capacity of 1,500 lbs, a maximum speed of 125 knots and a range of 360 nm.

The power of philanthropy to build resilient democracies and societies - 14 November 2017 - WeCanChange.co.za
What can civil society, business and ordinary citizens do to not only survive but prosper in a context of state and governing party failure, and a lack of trust in democratic institutions, that has long-term repercussions for the economy?
We need to focus on resilience, says Professor William Gumede, Associate Professor: School of Government, UW, Exec Chairperson of Democracy Works Foundation.
He was speaking in Cape Town today at a philanthropy forum organised by non-profit trust Inyathelo, the South African Institute for Advancement. Practically, resilience means making do with the resources that people have, to the maximum, with imagination. Even in an under-resourced community, people could be good mediators in addressing gang warfare, or they may have valuable skills from previous employment.
"The real challenge is to get someone who grows up vulnerable, is rightfully angry and feels like giving up, the agency to persevere."
Professor Gumede divided philanthropy into two types: Traditional 'big' philanthropy, mostly implemented locally or globally through major corporations or foundations. The second pillar is citizen philanthropy – ordinary individuals giving money or volunteering their time and skills.
A challenge is for 'big' philanthropists to support what the community identifies and prioritises ‒ there has to be a mind-set change in how philanthropists look at giving.
He urged greater corporate engagement in social justice issues. People struggle to see the importance of social justice – it can't easily be marketed like other projects – but it is at the heart of society. They should also not shy away from the kind of issues that would strengthen democracy, such as access to information.
"Getting involved in undoing inequality often seems to be where people step aside and don't want to engage."
He said that citizen philanthropy is an exciting opportunity that we often miss ‒ "when ordinary individuals give their money, time or services to civil society organisations and engage publicly with issues."
"The problem is that people feel that, as individuals, they can't make an impact and withdraw from public engagement. The problems seem so big and they feel there is little that they can do."
While the black middle class has more income and time, people are vulnerable – change only started after 1994. Due to poor public education and health services, such costs take up a large proportion of middle class income. People are also supporting extended family and do not think they can get involved in philanthropy.
Members of the white middle class are also concerned they could be seen as patronising black people if they become involved, or fear there is no longer space for them.
It is however important to boost citizen philanthropy, said Professor Gumede. This can be done by encouraging people to get involved in civic engagement, for example fighting for consumer rights, teaching sport or getting involved on a school board.
He said that government could possibly improve the tax environment for giving – through a dedicated philanthropy tax for example, or tax payers could sign off a percentage of their annual income for giving. A proportion of municipal rates could also go to civil society or charity.
"In an emerging democracy, philanthropy's role is to reduce inequality; boost social solidarity so that those who are wealthy want to help those with limited means; to promote social justice as many of our current problems have to do with issues of the past; and promote active citizenship."

Your chain is a key element of your bike's transmission, being the essential link that connects the front part of your drivetrain (the pedals, cranks and chainrings/sprocket) to the rear (cassette/sprocket and rear hub). It's through the chain that pedal power is converted into forward movement, so it's essential to buy the right one and to keep it maintained.
Modern bike chains are properly called 'roller chains', and consist of short cylindrical rollers held together by side links. The gaps between the rollers mesh with the teeth on a sprocket or chainring, to drive the transmission when turned.
Most bike chains are made of alloy steel for strength but some performance models may feature high-end alloy parts or hollow pins/side plates to save weight.
The type of chain you need will depend on the type of bike you are riding. A number of different chain widths are available, to suit specific bike types such as BMX, or to fit different road and MTB drivetrains (e.g. an 11-speed cassette requires a different chain to a 9-speed one – the chain must be thinner in order to fit into the narrower spaces between the sprockets.
Whatever bike you ride, chain maintenance is key. Chains will wear and stretch over time, and a worn chain will damage the teeth on your chainrings or sprocket. It's important to keep your chain clean and lubricated to minimise wear, and to regularly check chain length so it can be replaced when necessary.
When replacing your road or mountain bike chain you need to get one that matches the number of gears in your drivetrain.
The amount of sprockets on your rear cassette – 9, 10 or 11 is crucial. Because the distances between the sprockets vary on different 'speed' cassettes (e.g. the gap will be wider on a 9-speed block than on an 11-speed), you need a chain that fits. A chain for an 11-speed transmission will be narrower than one for a 9-speed, etc.
Generally chains and cassettes from different manufacturers will be compatible with each other, although Shimano and SRAM chains will not work very well with Campagnolo cassettes, and vice-versa.
It is also worth noting that some chains (e.g. Shimano) require special rivets to rejoin them once they have been split, and the old rivets cannot be used again. SRAM chains use a special 'Powerlink 'that can be split and rejoined without the need for a special chain tool, making them a popular choice even on non-SRAM transmissions.
What is Chain Stretch
Cyclists often speak of chain "stretch", as if the side plates of an old chain were pulled out of shape by the repeated stresses of pedaling. This is not actually how chains elongate. The major cause of chain "stretch" is wearing away of the metal where the link pin rotates inside of the bushing (or the "bushing" part of the inside plate) as the chain links flex and straighten as the chain goes onto and off of the sprockets. If you take apart an old, worn-out chain, you can easily see the little notches worn into the sides of the link pins by the inside edges of the bushings.
All chains have a limited lifespan. Every time a link of a chain drops into the valley created between the teeth on a cassette, sprocket or chainring, two metal surfaces rub together. Add in the grinding paste that a transmission attracts and multiply by the hundreds of times this happens every time you turn the pedals, and you have a recipe for wear and tear.
When do I Need a New Chain?
As chains wear out they tend to stretch, eventually starting to skip over the teeth on the sprocket when under load, instead of meshing with them as they should.
Once this starts to happen it is time for a chain replacement (and perhaps a new cassette and chainrings too, if the wear is considerable). However you can act earlier by using a chain measuring device to determine if your chain is beginning to wear – catch it quickly and you only need a new chain.
An alternative, but less accurate, method is to measure the length of 12 links, which on a new chain should be exactly 12". When 12 links of an old chain measures 12 and 1/8" or less, you can get away with a new chain only. Any more than that however and you are going to have to buy a new cassette and possibly chainrings as well.

Sports is a major part of our modern society. As a child it is very important to play sports. It is not only a source of exercise and pleasure but participating in sports can also lead to better cognitive and social skills. As a European boy it is most likely that you are going to play soccer. Soccer is by far the most popular sports in Europe. Every weekend thousands of people are visiting a stadium to watch a soccer game. If people are not watching live it is most likely that they are watching the game at home on television. Soccer isn't that popular in the United States of America, however the sport is increasing lately. In the States baseball, ice hockey and basketball are very popular. But sports is not only broadcasted on television because there are also many radio stations that airs sports shows . The sports format is often devoted entirely to discussion and broadcasting of sporting events. On the most sports radio stations it is possible to debate as a listener by calling in. The first sports talk radio show in history launched in March 1964 on New York's WNBC. Nowadays there are many sports radio stations. The biggest sports radio stations are FOX Sports Radio and ESPN radio. In fact FOX Sports Radio is a network of radio stations based in Los Angeles, California. FOX Sports Radio has also studios in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Tampa, Phoenix, Tulsa, Cincinnati and Las Vegas. In total the FOX Sports Radio Network can be heard on more than 400 stations. ESPN radio was launched on January 1, 1992 under the original banner of SportsRadio ESPN. Just like FOX Sports Radio, ESPN is a network of radio stations that airs live coverage of sports events including Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association.

It should be no surprise, but things are so testy on Capitol Hill that a conflict-resolution coach invoked the tale of two sisters bickering over an orange to show Republicans and Democrats on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology the benefits of collaboration.
Everyone figured the two girls were locked in a winner-take-all argument over a piece of fruit because each wanted to eat the orange, recalls Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, the committee chairman who arranged the presentation by Wendy Swire, an executive coach.
But it turns out, one sister wanted to eat the orange and the other wanted the rind to flavor a cake.
"If they'd only talked to each other, both of them would have been happy," Smith recalls. "It was a small point, but I think it resonated with committee members."
Communication is key
Smith, a savvy, close-to-the-vest lawmaker who has served in Congress since 1987, is the only House committee chairman so far this year to convene a bipartisan off-the-record retreat for committee members in hopes of breaking the partisan gridlock that has stymied so much action in the House and Senate.
"I've learned over the years that 90 percent of the problems we face can be solved by better communication," says Smith, an ally of Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the House GOP leadership.
Smith said he held the two-hour retreat Feb. 6 in hopes of building the kind of cooperation featured in a favorite book, "Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In."
Bipartisanship 'tough'
In addition to Swire, the retreat's speakers included scientists positioned to tout the benefits of unfettered space exploration by NASA – astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a veteran of a presidential commission on space and winner of the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, and science educator and engineer Bill Nye, best known for his television program, "Bill Nye the Science Guy."
The breadth of collaboration remains to be seen on a 39-member committee that authorizes $39 billion in annual spending for NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Weather Service, all nonmilitary national laboratories and exploration of outer space.
Democrats on the panel are adopting a wait-and-see approach.
"I'm pleased that the chairman hosted this retreat and that he hopes to have a bipartisan committee this Congress," says Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Dallas, the ranking Democrat on the panel. "Congress has been a tough environment these past few years."
Texas in general – and Houston and San Antonio in particular – stand to benefit if Smith can mitigate some of the bitter partisan wrangling that has afflicted Congress. Texas lawmakers are bracing for political pressure in the tight budget climate to cut the $17.8 billion-a-year NASA budget that underwrites the Johnson Space Center as well as to reduce research grants that flow to Houston's medical facilities through the $7.4 billion-a-year National Science Foundation.
Yet with bipartisan cooperation, Texas would have unprecedented clout on the panel, where both the chairman and ranking Democrat hail from the Lone Star State, along with six other members of the committee.

The "Babyccino" is apparently a new trend in some of the hippest parts of New York.
The hot chocolate days for kids may be now considered passé for some hipster parents, who are giving their children coffee drinks, mixed with frothed milk, chocoloate or caramel. The drinks actually contain coffee — regular or decaf.
The coffee shops offering these special drinks are in Brooklyn, Prospect Heights and Greenwich Village, according to The Brooklyn Paper, which originally reported the trend.
Dr. Wendy Slusser of the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, told The New York Post that both decaf and regular coffee have a compound that robs kids of iron.
"Even kids with mild anemia, they might not pass out, but they might not perform as well in school or learn as well," she said.
