Land management within the US Forest Service and on the 1,000,000+ acre Ottawa National Forest (NF) is driven by a wide mix of resource and societal demands that prove a challenge in fulfilling the Forest Service's mission of "Caring for the Land and Serving the People." Programmatically, the 2006 Land and Resource Management Plan guide natural resource management activities on lands administered by the Ottawa National Forest.
The Forest Plan describes management direction and practices, resource protection methods and monitoring, desired resource conditions, and the availability and suitability of lands for resource management. Technology enables staff to address these land management issues and Forest Plan direction by using a science-based approach to facilitate effective decisions. Ottawa NF geospatial services, using enabling-technologies, incorporate key tools such as Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS desktop suite and Trimble's global positioning system (GPS) units to meet program and Forest needs.
The Forest has a broad set of geospatial datasets that capture geographic features across the Western Upper Pensula of Michigans landscape. Many of these datasets are available to the public through our download site.

Obesity: What's the Cancer Connection?
Does excess weight pose a cancer related health risk for women? Read more to find out.
Bonnie Annis
PUBLISHED April 06, 2017
Bonnie Annis is a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed in 2014 with stage 2b invasive ductal carcinoma with metastasis to the lymph nodes. She is an avid photographer, freelance writer/blogger, wife, mother and grandmother.
On my most recent visit to the oncologist, I was surprised when he mentioned something about my weight. I'm not obese, but I do admit I have a few extra pounds on my carriage. At almost 60 years of age with no thyroid gland, I know my metabolism has slowed dramatically since having my four children. I do my best to watch what I eat and I make sure I exercise daily, but even with my best efforts, the weight doesn't slip off easily.
I questioned the doctor about his comment. He'd said, "You really need to watch your weight." I asked what he meant by that and he explained that since I was post-menopausal and my breast cancer had spread to my lymph nodes, it was important to keep an eye on my weight. I still didn't understand what he was trying to say so I probed further. I asked what carrying a few extra pounds had to do with my risk for recurrence of breast cancer. He sat me down and explained my cancer, my stage 3B invasive ductal carcinoma, was fed by estrogen and progesterone. Although I'd had the cancer surgically removed from my body, there was still the possibility of it returning, especially since it had traveled into my lymphatic system. He also reminded me I'd chosen to forego the anti-hormone therapy after trying Arimidex, Aromasin and Tamoxifen with extreme side effects. Those anti-hormone drugs would have greatly reduced the production of estrogen in my body. Without the assistance of the medication, it was important that I do what I could to keep my estrogen levels low.
I still didn't understand what he was talking about and asked him to speak to me in plain English. Finally, he said, "Fat cells produce estrogen. The more fat you have on your body, the more estrogen your body is making." Now I understood. I made a mental note to do some research on the subject when I got home but I was also going to work on my diet.
Obesity. What do you think of when you first hear the word? Do you think of the television show that follows morbidly obese people on their journey to lose weight? Or do you think of someone you know who's carrying a few extra pounds more than they ought to be carrying? To many of us, obesity sounds like a dirty word. It's a word that instantly connotes an unhealthy body state. But excess body fat isn't only unsightly to look at, it also poses many health risks. Obesity is a growing health concern in our country and around the world. Americans like to eat and most of us eat well. Even after a very satisfying meal, many of us ingest an unhealthy amount of unnecessary calories by choosing dessert after every meal. We even eat when we aren't hungry. People from other countries look at Americans and are astounded at our size.
In 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama was so concerned with the childhood obesity epidemic in America that she implemented a program called, "Let's Move." In an effort to get America's overweight and underactive children moving, Mrs. Obama stressed the importance of a healthy diet coupled with exercise. President Obama followed suit forming a task force aimed at the problem. There were five goals associated with the plan: to create a healthy start for children, to empower parents and caregivers, to provide healthy food in schools, to improve access to healthy, affordable foods, and to increase physical activity. The task force hoped to reduce the childhood obesity rate down to five percent by the year 2030. Obesity is not only a problem among our children. In every city and state across America, we find overweight individuals.
As I began to research information related to breast cancer and obesity, I found many articles and medical journals. Almost all of the articles shared the same information. Of the information I found, most medical professionals agreed that excess body weight was linked to an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, and evidence suggests that obesity is also associated with a poor prognosis in women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Studies demonstrated that women who carry excess weight at the time of a breast cancer diagnosis are at increased risk of cancer recurrence and death compared to those of thinner women. Some evidence suggested women who gained weight shortly after a breast cancer diagnosis may have increased odds of poor outcomes.
Obesity has been proven to contribute to many health issues such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, gall bladder disease, sleep apnea and more. Most doctors watch their patients' weight closely and have them weigh in at every visit. Not only are they concerned about their weight, they also keep close tabs on their patients' body mass index. The body mass index, also known as the BMI, is calculated by dividing a person's body weight (in kilograms) by their height (in meters) squared (commonly expressed as kg/m2). The body mass index gives a more accurate measure of obesity than weight alone. A body mass index under 18.5 is indicative of a person being underweight while a body mass index of 40 or higher indicates severe obesity. BMI charts can be found readily on the internet and are easy to use for assessing one's personal status.
Recently, there have been studies conducted on the connection between obesity and breast cancer. According to an
published by cancer.gov, "Obese people often have chronic low-level inflammation, which can, over time, cause DNA damage that leads to cancer. Overweight and obese individuals are more likely than normal-weight individuals to have conditions or disorders that are linked to or that cause chronic local inflammation and that are risk factors for certain cancers…Fat tissue (also called adipose tissue) produces excess amounts of estrogen, high levels of which have been associated with increased risks of breast, endometrial, ovarian, and some other cancers."
The World Cancer Research Fund estimates about 20 percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States are related to body fatness, physical inactivity, excess alcohol consumption and/or poor nutrition, and could also be prevented. These factors are all related and may contribute to cancer risk, but body weight seems to have the strongest evidence linking it to cancer. Excess body weight contributes to as many as one out of every five of all cancer-related deaths.
Being obese is clearly linked with an increased risk of many types of cancers, including the following:
Breast cancer (postmenopausal)
Colon or rectal cancer
Endometrial cancer
Esophageal cancer
Renal cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Being overweight or obese might also pose risk for other types of cancers including gallbladder cancer, liver cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer or various prostate cancers.
The relationship between body weight and cancer are complicated and not fully understood. Some studies have found women who are overweight after menopause have an increased risk for developing breast cancer but those who are overweight before menopause do not seem to have an increased risk. Carrying excess weight during childhood might pose a stronger cancer risk factor for women than for those who gain weight later in life.
In another
, "Obesity, however measured, adversely affects the development and prognosis of breast cancer. There is ample data to suggest that obese and physically inactive women with breast cancer may have poorer survival compared with lighter weight and more active women. Obesity is one of the few risk factors for breast cancer that can be modified throughout life."
After listening to the concerns of my oncologist and after reading information about the subject, I am even more concerned about excess weight than ever before. As a breast cancer survivor, it's my responsibility to do what I can to better my health. If it means dropping a few pounds so I can live longer, you'd better believe that's exactly what I'm going to do. I don't ever want to face a recurrence of cancer. The first time around was hard enough!
Please take time to assess your body mass index. If you find you fall into the overweight or obese category, discuss it with your doctor, especially if you've already been diagnosed with breast cancer. I've listed a link here and in the resources below for a free

Ferrari has announced that effective immediately, team principal Maurizio Arrivabene is leaving the team.
Arrivabene spent four years as team principal, having joined in December 2014. Previously, he had served as a vice president at Philip Morris, the tobacco company that serves as Ferrari's main sponsor in Formula 1.
Former technical boss Mattia Binotto will fill Arrivabene's role immediately. Binotto first joined Ferrari in 1995 as a test engine engineer, working on and off with the team until he was appointed as the technical director in 2016. It's currently unclear who will fill his former role.
Arrivabene presided over a resurgent Ferrari team, but according to BBC, he was considered a figurehead, with the real decision-making power resting in the hands of former president Sergio Marchionne. It's said that Marchionne intended to replace Arrivabene with Binotto, and after Marchionne's death in July 2018 the principal and technical director engaged in a power struggle.
Arrivabene oversaw the last 81 of the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team's races, taking 14 victories, 71 podiums, and 12 pole positions in total. The team's 2018 season was marred by several key management errors that many suggest are the reason it wasn't able to beat Mercedes-AMG to win the championship.

I'm currently enjoying the muxuries of first class trains - well I have a power socket anyway.
I'm away for a week, and in the time I am delivering two days of formation on apologetics. I'm honoured to do this because I feel I do have an ability to teach well and a good overall understanding of the Faith. But at the same time, it's scary. I don't know everything, but not only that, I feel like a hypocrit because I know I have stayed silent when people have talked about the ordination of women or even the accuracy of the bible..so who am I to tell people how to do it! Plus, its such a vast area that its diffcult to do it well in two days. I want to cover as much area as possible, and just point out the key scriptures and arguements we can offer and allow them to take it as they will.
But going back to community will be interesting. It will be nice and community prayer is a blessing. But I'm most worried about the guys I spent last year with - they and I have moved on, but last year we'd be so close. Also, I'm worried about pronouncing names right!
But for now, I'm finishing my preparation and on the way. No turning back.

Axon guidance is a process in embryological brain development.
Axonal projectionsEdit
After neurons have formed from the neuroectoderm's semiconservatively dividing neural precursor stem cells, they project axons that must find reciprocating and correct dendritic targets to form electrical synapses in the mature brain. Neurons must also form connections with the spinal cord to form the spinal nerve pathways, and often, axons, 20 microns in diameter, must travel 5 meters to synapse with spinal cord dendrite targets to form the appropriate motosensory pathways.
Growth conesEdit
Soma project "growth cones", cytoplasmic filopodia that project outwards from the soma and "feel" the surrounding microenvironment's chemical signals to determine where axonal projections should extend.
Chemical messengersEdit
Cellular adhesion markersEdit
Cellular adhesion molecules are markers left behind by axons that have previous transversed an area that promote subsequent and further axonal growth in their footsteps.
- Cadherins: A family of chemicals left by previous axons. Cadherins bind to cadherins found on the growth cone surface and in a Ca+2-mediated response, promote growth.
- CAMs (Ca+2-independent cellular adhesion molecules): A family of chemicals that are generic growth molecules common to many developing pathways.
- Ng-CAM: Promotes axonal growth along astrocytes and Schwann cells.
- N-CAM: Promote axonal bundling.
Extracellular chemicalsEdit
Extracellular chemicals are chemicals mounted on the extracellular matricies or in the extracellular fluid that were secreted by the cells propulating a microenvironment that either promote or discourage axonal growth in that area.
- Laminin, fibronectin: Two chemicals mounted on the extracellular matricies. Growth cones adhere to these, which sets of an intracellular cascade that promotes axon extension towards this direction.
- Netrins: A family of chemicals found on the base plate of the developing neural tube and commisural neurons. These tremendously promote axonal growth towards them.
- IN-1: A chemical secreted by oligodencrocytes and mounted on an extracellular matrix or plasma membrane that discourages growth towards it (chemorepellant).
- Semaphorins: A family of chemorepellants, including collapsin, which causes nearby growth cones to collapse and prevent grwoth.

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic
Last night, I went to the movies and saw "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic". It's largely a film of a stand-up comedy performance by Sarah Silverman, plus some skits and music videos. Her work definitely deserves an NC-17 rating for language, although it appears she didn't submit it to the MPAA for rating. The humor was very iconoclastic and probably would offend those who shouldn't see the movie in the first place. Some of the film was laugh-out-loud, but I didn't really find it a-laugh-a-minute. Most of the humor, while clever, came from surprise over the shocking nature of her punchlines. Other concert films with off-color language, e.g., those by Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor, are much funnier. Silverman's appearance in the more offensive, but totally hilarious "The Aristocrats", is funnier than anything in this film. "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic" is 72 mins. long.


text: The information that must be protected at any Olympic Games is so valuable that it justifies all efforts to guard it. However, in companies, where the scale of the IT structure is not usually on the level of the Olympic Games, financial investment in security is not always enough to protect information. On the one hand, it is possible that security investment is insufficient, and therefore inefficient. On the other hand, it is just as absurd to leave a system unprotected, as it is to overprotect it, as, in this case, money invested becomes money wasted.

ABCD Heads Down Turnpike
Amateur basketball magnate Sonny Vaccaro announced in January that the Reebok ABCD Camp, his celebrated invitational for the nation's elite high school players, would not be back at Fairleigh Dickinson University for the first summer since its inception in 1984.
Both Vaccaro and the shoe company acknowledged that another Reebok-sponsored camp could supplant the folded North Jersey event -- but it would not be known as ABCD and Vaccaro would not be involved.
That suggestion came to fruition Monday with the announcement of Rbk U, an all-star invitational to be held on the campus of Philadelphia University during the second week of July.
Invitations will be extended to 120 players -- or 30 less than this summer's 150-player event. A national selection committee of high school coaches and talent evaluators will handpick 65 players while the other golden tickets will be handed out through the Headliner Tryout Camps which the sneaker giant will host throughout the country during the early summer.

Now is a good time for investors to use leverage via non-ringgit assets overseas, according to Danny Chang, head of managed investments and product management at Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Bhd.
That is because the country's inflation rate, measured by the Consumer Price Index, rose to an eight-year high of 4.5% in February, according to the Statistics Department. If the ringgit continues to be weak, the inflation rate could remain high.
By comparison, fixed deposit rates are about 3%, from about 4% last year. The local stock market has not fared better. "Returns have been about 3% in the last 5 to 10 years. The local stock market is still lagging behind its regional peers despite the recent recovery," says Chang.
He says investors should consider these factors when looking for investment opportunities overseas. By applying leverage appropriately, they will be able to enhance their returns despite the low-yield, low-return environment.
Chang says affluent individuals are likely to continue investing in non-ringgit assets overseas, judging by the trend he sees at the bank and in the industry. That is because investors are now more sophisticated when it comes to diversification and there is a growing supply of financial products that invest in
non-ringgit assets overseas.
Pramod Veturi, country head of wealth management at Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia, spoke to Personal Wealth after the launch of Standard Chartered's Wealth Power leverage financing facility, which enables investors to magnify their investments by 1.5 to 9 times against their collateral in bonds, unit trusts, structured investments and insurance products for potentially higher returns. The amount of leverage depends on the investor's financial health. The collateral can also be in fixed deposits.
The facility, the first to be introduced by a foreign retail bank in Malaysia, carries more than 150 unit trust funds and an equivalent amount of fixed-income bond securities. Investors who use the facility to leverage are only allowed to invest in these funds.
The recommended unit trust funds include the CIMB-Principal US Mortgage Fund, Affin Hwang World Series — US Short Duration High Income Fund, Eastspring Investments Asian High Yield Bond MY Fund and RHB Asian High Yield Fund.
Pramod says the facility allows investors to borrow directly in six currencies — the US, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore dollars as well as the euro and pound sterling — which will help them minimise foreign exchange risks.
"Let's say the individual invests in Australian dollar assets. He won't be impacted when the ringgit strengthens against the Aussie," he says, adding that the spread the bank charges clients for borrowing via Wealth Power is 1.5%.
Will investors suffer a loss after taking into account the spread? Pramod says this is unlikely to happen if they have a longer horizon and invest in the recommended unit trust funds under the facility.

Errors To Avoid When Choosing A Medicare Advantage Policy Pt. 2
Error #. 2: Choose a Medicare Advantage policy that requires the approval of the insurance company before proceeding to a test/procedure.
SOLUTION # 2: If you are comparing diets, refer to the Benefits Summary. All insurers must publish them and must be identical and easy to compare.
ERROR # 3: Do not pay attention to the (MOOP) "maximum pocket" limit. There is a MOOP for every Medicare Advantage policies, and many agents freeze it and help you choose your policy. However, if there is a catastrophic medical problem (organ transplant, cancer, long-term stay in a qualified care facility, etc.), there is a huge possibility that you will meet the MOOP; hence make sure it is as low as possible. This is because chemotherapy and anti-rejection drugs are considered part of outpatient "B" drugs, not prescription "D" medications, and many diets only pay for 80% of Part B medications. So you will have to pay the rest 20 percent and they are costly.
SOLUTION # 3: compare, again and again; and choose a policy with a lower MOOP.
Error # 4: Choose a policy just because the drug co-pays is a little lower. Most small insurance companies will try to persuade you to choose a policy they offer with very little cost-sharing for their drug policy, but they have a smaller network of doctors / institutions. The challenge is that if you have a health condition, you will be locked in the smallest network of institutions/doctors till the following registration period.
SOLUTION # 4: Peradventure you have a challenge with payment for prescription drugs and your income / wealth is low, you may be eligible for additional social assistance. A sound insurance broker will draw up a list and guide you. When you get help with medications, you can choose the best policy based on other options (network size, additional optional benefits, doctor / institute, authorization rules, etc.).
Error # 5: Choose a policy because you want a PPO policy, and not an HMO.
SOLUTION # 5: So many have an erroneous impression that they can take an OPP policy for any doctor/facility of their choice. In fact, OPP policies still have a network of doctors / institutions that need to be maintained to reduce costs. The greatest distinction between a PPO and a HMO is that with a PPO, no need to obtain a "recommendation" for consulting a specialist. For an HMO, you must get a recommendation. To select EACH physician / institution from the country that accepts Medicare, a Medicare supplement program (Medigap) should be considered.
I have seen many of the errors and solutions and in choosing health policies for Medicare Advantage plan. There are other variations of diets outside of California that can pose additional problems. What happened to my client, one might ask? While in constant contact with my clients, I was very happy to learn the good news in June. Two doctors in Los Angeles, from a large medical group identified the problem by using the same test that was rejected by their previous Medicare health policy. He slowly lost the cerebrospinal fluid and was about not to have any more. Now that she is in good health, we will review her insurance at Medicare's annual open enrollment and decide whether to keep her in the supplement or upgrade to a Medicare Advantage policy in Part C.

'This is the Northland' is a personal, evocative and original documentary project, telling the story of a remarkably atmospheric location on the Northwestern coast of Scotland.
The film focuses on Sandwood bay, a remote, wild beach just south of Cape Wrath. Though now known as a place of unspoilt natural beauty, stories of ghosts and shipwrecks litter the beach's history and linger still in the minds of many.
Told through the filmmaker's personal connection to this place, the film explores these stories, and offers a candid and honest exploration into the human relationship with wild land.

Back when I lived in Amsterdam, my girlfriend and I would often play card games while getting a coffee on a sunday. It is a good excuse to explore local coffeehouses as well as a nice habbit to get away from the laptop. Our favorite card game turned out to be sushigo and at some point we got rather competitive. This got me thinking; can I apply some quick search strategies to come up with a simple hack that helps me determine what cards to play in sushigo?
How the Cardgame Works
There are some details that I'll be skipping but the gist of the game is as follows.
- To start the game you need to take 10 random cards for each player. The game is played in rounds.
- Every round every player takes a card from their hand and puts it on the table, face down.
- Next you and your opponent switch hands and you flip the card you've just played. You can now see the hand that your opponent had last round and all the cards that you've put on the table in previous rounds.
- You keep on playing until no cards are left.
- Depending on the cards you and your opponent has the scores get determined.
There are two main components of the game that make it fun:
- There is hidden information in the game but you may be able to infer the strategy of your opponent depending on the cards that are picked as the round progresses.
- Certain cards immediately give you points while other cards take a while. If you have 3 sashimi cards then you'll get 10 points, but you'll get 0 points for less. This means that there are high risk/high reward strategies possible.
Every round consists of balancing these two phenomenon.
Card Details
I'll zoom in a few cards such that the mechanic of points is clear, full details can be found in the official rulebook. By explaining how some of the cards below work, I hope that it is clear how certain strategies may emerge when you're trying to win the game.
Maki Cards
If you have the most maki points at the end of a round you get +6 points. If you're the second highest then you get +3. If you have no maki cards a you only get +0. If there's a lot of maki cards to go around, you'll probably not care too much but if there's only a few of them then you may want to make sure you've got at least some.
Eel Cards
If you have only 1 eel you lose 3 points, if you have two you get +2 and if you have 3 or more you get +7. It would be great if there's only one eel in the round that it lands at your opponents side.
Shashimi Cards
For every set of three you get 10 points. Any incomplete set is worth 0 points. If you see that your opponent has two shashimi's then you'll want to prevent that she/he gets the final one.
Nigiri Cards
Nigiri cards immediately give you points. An egg nigiri gives you one point, a salmon nigiri gives you two and a squid nigiri gives you three. If you have wasabi on the table before you play a nigiri card the score of that nigiri card may be multiplied by 3. That means that if you play your cards right that you get can 9 points (wasabi + squid nigiri) by playing just two cards. Alternatively, if you see your opponent putting down a wasabi card then you'll want to ensure that no squid is returned to their hand.
Towards a Computer Science Problem
This game can get quite deep, but let's be clear: I'm not interested in anything fancy or complex like building a deep reinforcement learning algorithm to play this game. Two reasons.
- I want to build something quick as I'm doing this on a weekend.
- I want to get better at the card game myself without the aid of a laptop. My girlfriend would justifiedly consider it cheating if I needed to consult the terminal at ever decision I need to make.
With this in mind I'd prefer to just answer a simple question: what cards are the most valuable? Ie. can I order the cards in terms of value? To make things even more simple, let's not consider the rock-paper-scissors aspect of game strategies and lets just pretend that we're playing an opponent that plays random cards. I'll also assume that the game only has two players (as my girlfriend is my main opponent here).
Search Space
Unfortunately it seems like I cannot apply full enumeration as the number of permutations of cards that exist is big.
Suppose that I'll only take these 14 cards into account:
cards = ["maki-1", "maki-2", "maki-3", "sashimi",
"egg", "salmon", "squid", "wasabi", "pudding",
"tempura", "dumpling", "tofu", "eel", "temaki"]
Taking into account all the possible orders of these cards would yield something like:
$$ 14! = 87,178,291,200 \text{ combinations}$$
Obvious Improvement
The performance of any search algorithm can be improved by applying some basic rules of the card game.
A maki card with three maki's on it is obviously better than a maki card with two. A similar rule can be applied for nigiri cards (egg < salmon < squid). If you take this into account then suddenly the search space goes down immensely;
$$ \frac{14!}{3!3!} = 2,421,619,200$$
The search space is still huge, but much much smaller.
Evaluation Time vs. Serverless Sampling
It's not just the search space that is very big but the evaluation time is very large as well. Suppose we want to evaluate a certain ordering of cards. We could take the ordering and simulate many games against a player with a random ordering. Preferably we'd simulate a lot (a lot!) of times in order to remove noise in our performance measure. This means that not only the search space is very big but the evaluation time is time-consuming as well.
This looks like a CPU bound problem. If possible, I'd get 1000s CPU's that I can pummel in order to run this simulation. It feels annoying to provision docker containers for this so I was wondering what backend might be appropriate.
And then it dawned on me that AWS Lambda might actually be feasible for this. A single simulation might cost a minute of time but if this can run asynchronously then I can make a command line app such that it should feel as if I am evaluating card orders in parallel. I decided to try the concept before writing the simulation. I made a simply command line app that can call a backend asynchronously and I made a lambda function that calls
time.sleep in python and returns some information about the run (things like thread-id, ip-adress, that sort of fun stuff).
I could run 10 functions.
I could run 900 functions.
It worked like magic but I noticed things started breaking when you get near 1000 functions. Some functions will return with errors because Amazon protects you a bit here. You can call them if you need more resources if you need to though.
By playing around with this, I was able to make this pretty chart.
You can see different runs on the same lambda function. Each run represents a different call to my command line function that calls AWS. Note that AWS gets 900 concurrent calls instantly so it is fair if there is a bit of a cold start here and there. Also note that the x-axis is different for each run. The blue dots denote a start of a function while the red dots denote the end of one.
There is a bit of startup time before all the functions start, but all in all the overhead is not too bad considering:
- Whatever overhead is compensated by 1000x concurrency.
- Three seconds of overhead for a simulation that takes 2s in total is a lot, but it is much less of a problem when the simulation takes 30s-100s.
- Getting this running on AWS takes 5s from the command line, no need to deal with servers which is a massive timesaver.
- It costs very little. It actually takes effort, even with simulations, to get past the free tier.
The reason why this is so easy to set up is becayse of a python library named chalice. With it getting a scalable simulation service is easy. In fact, this is all the code.
With code like this, chalice will handle the routing, api-gateway and provisioning by simply running
chalice deploy from the command line. The nice part is that these lambda functions will scale. Without anything devops (I've never written a single line of cloudformation) I should be able to run up to about 1000 simulations in parallel if I can call this endpoint asynchronously. As luck would have it, python3.6 has great support for this so locally I've created a command line that can call amazon with
aiohttp. The gist of that command line works as follows:
So, this is one of those situations where I didn't really care about the destination because the path itself was going to end up being very fun. I've dabbled a bit with a genetic algorithm client side, while the simulation happens in the cloud. It seems that I've found an order of cards that wins about 60% of the time.
A few things to keep in mind with this result:
- My "bot" is playing against really stupid bots. Winning 60% of the time from somebody who just does something randomly is not a result to be proud of.
- Playing a card based on a strict order of cards is a bad strategy. You're ignoring all information that has to do with the game state.
- Something like a reinforcement approach should work a lot better but my girlfriend wouldn't allow me to use a laptop while playing the game.
What I really enjoyed was discovering that, yes, you could use AWS Lambda as a backend for simulations. It actually works in a very cost effective way. Not every simulation would fit this setup though, but I like the thought that simulations can be seen as a mere IO operation from the command line that we can run concurrently.
I should mention that I have access to some AWS partners at the office who knew how to call the right AWS people. We wanted to go a bit overboard and we were wondering if we could get more CPU's to play with. There's something very entertaining about that phonecall with AWS when part of the conversation goes like:
"oh hey it's you. sure, here's 3000 CPU's. what will you use it for? a card game? really? well, sure, i guess."
-- AWS Representative
If you haven't done so already; buy sushigo, it is fantastic.

Two-time DTM champion Timo Scheider (39, GER) will be spearheading the BMW Team Schnitzer challenge in the ADAC GT Masters. Mikkel Jensen (23, DK) and Dennis Marschall (21, GER), both BMW Motorsport Juniors, as well as Sweden's Victor Bouveng (21) are the other members of the line-up for the Bavarian outfit which is this year entering not one but two BMW M6 GT3s. The 2018 Super Sports Car League gets underway on the weekend of 13th - 15th April at the usual host venue for the season opener, Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. All races will be shown live and in full length on the SPORT1 TV channel.
BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt: "Timo Scheider plus the BMW Motorsport Juniors plus BMW Team Schnitzer - what a brilliant combination! BMW Team Schnitzer count as something of an institution in international GT sport. They can look back on a long and illustrious history. Last year, the team proved that it can also be a title contender in the highly competitive ADAC GT Masters. Timo Scheider's driving skills and personality make him a great addition to the series, and he will be a magnificent role model for our young drivers. Our current juniors now have the opportunity to measure themselves against the best and to learn from them. Competing in the ADAC GT Masters is an important step on their way to the top. I'm really looking forward to following developments in what is sure to be a thrilling season."
In putting their driver quartet together, BMW Team Schnitzer have gone for a blend of experience and precocious talent. Timo Scheider, who won the DTM in 2008 and 2009, will be contesting his first ever season in the ADAC GT Masters this year. The German veteran shares a cockpit with Mikkel Jensen. "As I enter my second year at BMW, I'm looking forward to working with a team of Schnitzer's calibre for a full season," says Scheider. "In Mikkel Jensen, I have a young and motivated team-mate at my side. I'm sure we can both benefit from what the other has to offer and be successful together. As a former BMW Junior myself, bringing on talented youngsters is very important to me, and that is one of the reasons why I have had my own junior kart and ADAC Formula 4 team in recent years. I will be delighted to assist Mikkel and the others with the benefit of my experience."
Jensen has been a member of the BMW Motorsport Junior Programme since 2017 and won the Formula ADAC in 2014. "It's an honour for me to be driving alongside Timo Scheider at BMW Team Schnitzer," says the Dane. "I'm really looking forward to learning from Timo and the team. I have already met everyone involved, and I am impressed by the professionalism and experience. I am also looking forward to being back in the ADAC GT Masters environment."
The second BMW M6 will be driven by Dennis Marschall and Victor Bouveng. Marschall contested his rookie season in the 2017 ADAC GT Masters at the wheel of an Audi R8 LMS and enjoyed several podium finishes in the Junior class. "Even though I haven't driven the BMW M6 GT3 yet, I already have some experience with GT3 cars," says Marschall. "I think that will be a big help, plus the fact that I already know this series and almost all the tracks we will be competing on. I'm incredibly grateful to BMW Motorsport for the fantastic programme they have arranged for me this season. Being able to learn from Schnitzer and Timo Scheider is a great opportunity for me." His team-mate Bouveng, on the other hand, already has plenty of experience in the BMW M6 GT3: "When I was part of the BMW Motorsport Junior Programme in 2015, my objective was to establish myself in the GT3 class. It was an objective I achieved thanks to the support of BMW Motorsport. I'm really looking forward to the challenge in the ADAC GT Masters."
