How Would You Spend $500,000 to Improve Cambridge?
Vote on Participatory Budget Capital Project Proposals March 22-28
If you're a Cambridge resident age 12 or older, YOU can VOTE on how to spend $500,000 in FY16 Capital Funds to improve the community! In December 2014, the City of Cambridge launched the Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative inviting community members to share ideas on projects to improve Cambridge.
Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process through which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. Cambridge's pilot PB project will for the first time, directly involve residents in the budgeting and city-building process, foster civic engagement and community spirit, and help ensure that the city's Capital Plan reflects the priorities of Cambridge residents.
From January-March, over 40 volunteer Budget Delegates evaluated the 380 ideas that were submitted, and developed project proposals to meet community needs. From March 22-28, 2015 Cambridge residents are invited to vote on which projects will get funded! Projects on the ballot will be for capital improvements related to:
Culture & Community Facilities
Environment, Public Health & Public Safety
Streets & Sidewalks
Each voter can select 5 projects on the ballot, regardless of the amount they add up to. The city will allocate $500,000 for the winning projects. Vote week begins with a kickoff event Sunday, March 22, from 2-4pm, at Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway. Residents will be able to talk with Budget Delegates and view project displays at two Project Expos on Tuesday, March 24, from 5:30-8:30pm, at Windsor Street Health Center, 119 Windsor St., and on Saturday, March 28, from 10am-2pm, during the Winter Farmers' Market at Cambridge Community Center, 5 Callender St. Paper ballots at voting events will be available in English, Haitian Creole, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Residents can also vote online, as long as they have a cell phone. Online voting will be text message authenticated. Voters will enter their cell phone number online and then will receive a code via text that must be entered for one-time access to the ballot. A link to the online ballot on the Participatory Budget webpage will be made available during the voting period March 22-28, 2015. The online ballot will be available in English and Spanish. For information on project proposals on the ballot and a full list of voting dates and locations, please visit www.cambridgema.gov/yourbudget.
Connect Kendall Square Competition Finalists to Present Open Space Plans
Four finalist teams will soon be presenting their visions for open space in Kendall Square and eastern Cambridge as part of the City's Connect Kendall Square open space design competition.
This project presents a unique opportunity to create a framework for the entire open space network in Kendall Square and eastern Cambridge. The competition attracted a wide range of planning and design firms, which were encouraged to consider new thinking regarding not only open space design, but also connections, programming, place making, and the overall public realm.
The vision as well as the planning and design goals for the framework are the culmination of work by the Eastern Cambridge Kendall Square Open Space (ECKOS) Planning Committee, which began meeting in May 2013 and has worked closely with city staff and the community throughout the process.
The four multidisciplinary teams selected as finalists are Somerville based Richard Burck Associates, Cambridge and Brooklyn based Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc., Seattle based Framework, and San Francisco based SITELAB. A public exhibition of the teams' proposals is currently on display in the Google Connector lobby at 355 Main Street, Cambridge. The plans can also be viewed online at www.connectkendallsquare.com and www.cambridgema.gov/kendallopenspace.
The finalist teams will present their framework plans to the Competition Jury March 25-26 at Cambridge City Hall Annex, 344 Broadway, 2nd floor meeting room. Presentations are open to the public and are scheduled as follows: Wednesday, March 25 (SITELAB Urban Studio 1:00-2:30pm; Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. 3:00-4:30pm), and on Thursday, March 26 (Richard Burck Associates 8:30-10:00am; Framework Cultural Placemaking 10:30am-12:00pm).
Over the past several decades, Kendall Square has transformed from a former industrial area into a world-renowned center of biotech, high tech research, and innovation. In the past few years, the City of Cambridge has acquired three parcels in the area, which will be part of more than 5 acres of new and redesigned public open space. The framework derived from this competition will help determine the character and role of the new public open spaces in the area (which will be designed as part of separate, subsequent processes), and guide private entities as to potential programming and design of both existing and future open space as part of private developments.
For more information, contact Taha Jennings, Assistant to the City Manager, at 617-349-4302, tjennings@cambridgema.gov.
Sidewalk Poetry is Coming to Cambridge!
The City of Cambridge is pleased to announce the launch of a Sidewalk Poetry Program, designed to stamp poems written by Cambridge residents into freshly poured sidewalk locations throughout the City. A collaboration of the Department of Public Works, Cambridge Arts, and the Cambridge Public Library, the Sidewalk Poetry Program will launch with a Poetry Contest to select several poems for 2015.
The Cambridge Sidewalk Poetry Program was inspired by a similar ongoing program in St. Paul, Minnesota, begun in 2008 by artist Marcus Young as artist-in-residence in the St. Paul Department of Public Works. St. Paul has over 450 poems in St. Paul sidewalks to date. The Cambridge program will integrate poetry into its routine sidewalk repairs. The fresh concrete necessary when the City pours new sidewalk panels will provide an opportunity to stamp a poem in selected locations throughout the City.
Any Cambridge resident of any age is invited to submit up to two poems to the 2015 Sidewalk Poetry Contest. Poems will be reviewed by a selection committee composed of representatives from Cambridge Public Works, Cambridge Public Library, and Cambridge Arts, as well as a former Poet Populist and a Cambridge high school student. The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm on Sunday, April 12, 2015. Winners will be announced on Thursday, April 30, 2015. For more information on submission guidelines and how to submit poems, please visit www.cambridgema.gov/sidewalkpoetry

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was arrested Monday for carrying an unlicensed gun in a nightclub. He shot himself in the leg to keep from spilling his drink. He lost a lot of blood but luckily John Daly was a perfect match for a blood transfusion.
Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis came under heavy fire Thursday from alumni. They are mortified. He's losing games, he's not getting top recruits and worst of all, scientists just discovered that the English and the Irish share the same Y-chromosome.
Hillary Clinton was nominated Monday to become the country's next Secretary of State. Her job will be to improve America's ranking in the world. Germany remains number one in the poll despite its last two losses, due to their strength of schedule.
Harvard Medical School scientists announced Monday they found the gene that is responsible for the aging process. They said it may be possible to reverse many aspects of aging. This discovery came just in time so people can enjoy a long life with no money.

Barack Obama attended the National Governors Conference Monday. He said states face tough choices because many state laws require a balanced budget. If federal law required a balanced budget, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington would have been a prison movie.
Auto executives showed up in Congress again Tuesday to ask for a bailout. Two weeks ago they came in company jets but Tuesday they drove nine hours from Detroit to Washington in hybrids. It would have taken four hours in a muscle car, but they didn't want to be blamed for global warming when they pulled into the parking lot.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened the new U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on Tuesday. He said that thanks to the air conditioning, lawmakers will no longer have to smell the tourists as they enter the Capitol.

Q: Python - How to replace None values in a numpy array with the median of adjacent elements I generated an array with missing data
A = np.zeros((80,80))
for i in range(80):
    if i%2 == 0:
        for j in range(80):
            A[i,j] = None
            if j%2 == 0:
                A[i,j] = 50+i+j
    else:
        for j in range(80):
            A[i,j] = None
            if j%2 != 0:
                A[i,j] = 50+i+j

Which gives me this below screenshot.

What I'm trying to do is replace all "None" values with the median of the adjacent elements which aren't None values as well.
Is there an easy way to do this without going through every element in a loop ?

A: I've written something like this (even though it was for masked arrays but I quickly adapted it for NaNs) based on numba.
As Ami Tavory has said you can also do it with some numpy tricks but I mostly find it is clearer (if there is no builtin) if you write the loops yourself and then optimize it. I've chosen numba because even though it is limited in some aspects it is very well suited for speeding up such for loops.
import numba as nb
import numpy as np

@nb.njit
def median_filter_2d(array, filtersize):
    x = array.shape[0]
    y = array.shape[1]
    filter_half = filtersize // 2
    # Create an empty result
    res = np.zeros_like(array)
    # Loop through each pixel
    for i in range(x):
        for j in range(y):
            # If it's not NaN just let it stay
            if not np.isnan(array[i, j]):
                res[i, j] = array[i, j]
            else:
                # We don't want to go outside the image:
                start_x = max(0, i - filter_half)
                end_x = min(x, i + filter_half+1)
                start_y = max(0, j - filter_half)
                end_y = min(x, j + filter_half+1)

                # If you want to use nanmedian uncomment this line and comment everything else following
                #res[i, j] = np.nanmedian(array[start_x:end_x, start_y:end_y])

                # Create a temporary array.
                tmp = np.zeros(filtersize*filtersize)
                counter = 0 # Counter because we want to know how many not-NaNs are present.

                # Get all adjacent pixel that are not NaN and insert them
                for ii in range(start_x, end_x):
                    for jj in range(start_y, end_y):
                        if not np.isnan(array[ii, jj]):
                            tmp[counter] = array[ii, jj]
                            counter += 1

                # Either do it with np.median but it will be slower
                #res[i, j] = np.median(tmp[0:counter])
                # or use some custom median-function
                res[i, j] = numba_median_insertionsortbased(tmp[0:counter])
    return res

The helper median function is just an insertion-sort based sorting which then returns the middle element or the mean of the two middle elements.
@nb.njit
def numba_median_insertionsortbased(items):
    # Insertion sort
    for i in range(1, len(items)):
        j = i
        while j > 0 and items[j] < items[j-1]:
            items[j], items[j-1] = items[j-1], items[j]
            j -= 1
    # Median is the middle element (odd length) or the mean of the two middle elements (even length)
    if items.size % 2 == 0:
        return 0.5 * (items[(items.size // 2)-1] + items[(items.size // 2)])
    else:
        return items[(items.size // 2)]

If you don't want to use numba or cannot you can just delete the @nb.njit lines and use it in pure-python. It will be a lot slower but it will still work.
For an 80x80 A I get timings with numba:

1000 loops, best of 3: 1.63 ms per loop (custom median)
100 loops, best of 3: 4.88 ms per loop (numpy median)

but for large filtersizes the numpy median will be a bit faster since they (hopefully) have more advanced methods than insertionsort. But for your array the elements will be sorted in the temporary array so the insertionsort based median is clearly best suited. For real images it will probably be slower than the numpy median.
and pure python:

1 loop, best of 3: 406 ms per loop (custom median)
1 loop, best of 3: 707 ms per loop (numpy nanmedian without the inner loops and the temporary array)
1 loop, best of 3: 832 ms per loop (numpy median on temporary array)

As aside: I always find it surprising that something like that custom median even without numba is faster than the numpy median for small 1D inputs (ok, they are already sorted so it's the best case of insertionsort :-) ):
%timeit numba_median_insertionsortbased(np.arange(9)) # without the @nb.njit
10000 loops, best of 3: 21.7 µs per loop
%timeit np.median(np.arange(9))
10000 loops, best of 3: 123 µs per loop

and that these even faster solutions can be speed up even more with numba:
%timeit numba_median_insertionsortbased(np.arange(9)) # WITH the @nb.njit
100000 loops, best of 3: 8.93 µs per loop

Q: PHP Headers already sent - session_start() and setcookie() function sec_session_start() {
$session_name = 'exon_id_sessfval';
$secure = false;
$httponly = true;
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
$cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params();
session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams["lifetime"], $cookieParams["path"], $cookieParams["domain"], $secure, $httponly);
session_name($session_name);
session_start();
session_regenerate_id();
}

The following code above generates a headers already sent warning when in relation to session_start() even if I use ob_start() on the first line to try to ignore the problem.
its called on a page like follows:
<?php
include('./inc/sessions.php');
sec_session_start();
header("Location: index.php");

Any advice? Of course the header is included in a logical operator to check with a user is logged in, but its not outputting anything. The traceback comes to session_start() so I take it that it has something to do with cookie only sessions.

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /customers/b/2/5/edited.com/httpd.www/beta/login.php:1) in /customers/b/2/5/edited.com/httpd.www/beta/inc/sessions.inc.php on line 11

A: You obviously have output above one of your files and could be inside one of your included files. Anything above <?php is considered as output.
"Anything" could be HTML, text, a space, a tab, a BOM (byte order mark), even a cookie.

A: Yes, I just checked.
I selected Encoding UTF-8 without BOM in Notepad+++ and it solved the problem.
Thanks.

A: Put ob_start(); at the beginning of your script. It enables output buffering, so nothing will be printed until the script finishes (or you flush the buffer manually).
Also remember that any character (including spaces, line breaks and stuff like that) is considered output. The first characters of any PHP file need to be <?php.

Welcome to the first edition of Remake Radar 2009, where we take on Hollywood's penchant for remaking films for better or worse (which is most of the time). This month's movie:
Stars: Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, and Kevin Bacon.
Director: Sean S. Cunningham
Story: In 1957 a kid named Jason Vorhees was drowned at the summer camp at Crystal Lake. In subsequent years two counselors were murdered and the camp caught fire. In the late Seventies the camp was reopened. When new murders occur and a mysterious stranger is lurking about, they find that maybe teenagers having sex can lead to death.
What do we know now?: It's being released next month! A generation of college kids, long removed from the summer camp days of yore, travel out to the abandoned Crystal Lake summer camp for a weekend of booze, sex, and drugs. When a guy shows up looking for his missing sister the body count isn't too far behind.

Movie Review: Frost/Nixon
Tags: 2009, art, cinema, entertainment, film, frank langella, frost, frostnixon, info, kevin bacon, michael sheen, movie, news, nixon, oliver platt, political, random musings, review, ron howard, sam rockwell, talk show host, thriller, views
The movie based on the Broadway play based on the TV interviews.
Starring Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Sam Rockwell, Kevin Bacon, Toby Jones, and Oliver Platt. Directed by Ron Howard. Screenplay and play by Peter Morgan.
Nota bene: this review is based on the movie. I have not seen the original Broadway play, nor was I alive when this occurred on television.
With all that said, I enjoyed this movie.
The film takes place in two time periods: the days surrounding the Frost interviews of Nixon and some point in the "future" (sometime in the Eighties). The very beginning shows clips of footage from original news reports of when Nixon resigned from the Oval Office, as well as showing Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon for any transgressions. The American public was outraged and wanted a conviction; wanted Nixon to 'fess up to allegations of wrongdoing.
Fast forward into the future of those involved with the interviews that took place. The characters reflect back upon what happened, how almost impossible it was, etc. But what did happen?
Flash back to the Seventies and as I said before, President Richard Nixon (Langella) resigns from office before he could be brought up by a Congressional committee to find out the truth behind Watergate. He has a stroke and lays in a hospital bed while Ford pardons him, which then puts him out of reach from any lawmaker or investigator.
Cut to Australia where British-born talk show host David Frost (Michael Sheen) has an idea: get an interview with ex-President Nixon. Frost is the definition of the "Swingin' Sixties": women, parties, celebrities, and personal jet planes. He had a show in the U.S. but it was canceled. Moving on to Britain he finally settled in Australia. When he proposes the idea to his producer, the producer has the kind of reaction we would have if in the same situation: why would an entertainment interviewer/performer want to interview Richard Nixon? What would he have to gain? How much would he have to lose?
Enter Swifty Lazar (Jones), media rep for Nixon. Swifty has already made book deals and a '60 Minutes' interview with Mike Wallace for Nixon. It doesn't take long to figure out that Swifty is out for the money and coerces Nixon into accepting the interview and extorts $600k out of Frost for it. A meeting is setup with Frost, his producer, and female companion Caroline Cushing (Rebecca Hall). Everything goes well and the TV show is off and running.
Unfortunately he hits roadblocks. No American network wants to show an interview with the ex-Prez and a British talk show host and not have any control over it. He cuts deal after deal before finally getting one in which he pays everything up front. This puts him in debt with his friends.
To make matters worse people think that Frost is a "puff-piece" pushover. To solve this Frost hires Bob Zelnick (Platt) and author James Reston, Jr. (Rockwell). Reston pushes for Frost to take Nixon to the mat, pleading for him to give Nixon "the trial he never had."
What follows is one of the best "chessmatch" films. Like Frederic March and Burt Lancaster in "Seven Days in May," or Deniro and Pacino in "Heat," we are given a bonafide "David v. Goliath" fight. Nixon is calm, cool, and collected, knowing Frost's background and having a personal spin team and military officer Jack Brennan. He has nothing to prove but why he did what he did and doesn't have to answer to anyone, much less an "easy going" journalist who is paying for the interview. Frost has everything to prove, not the least of which is the fact that he has to come up with actual hard-hitting questions if he wants to be taken seriously.
And therein lies the core of the movie: two guys sitting across from each other in a rented house verbally sparring until there can be only one victor. There are minor victories and setbacks and times when either could win. And in the end one walks away victorious while the other slumps into disgrace.
Ron Howard did an excellent job adapting from the original Broadway play, but he also hired the original actors from the Broadway play as well as the playwright. And all involved do a great job. The person to surprise me most was Sam Rockwell, who fit his character better than any other I've seen him play. From this movie alone he may get more offers.
The overall feeling from this film is light-hearted, somewhat like of "Charlie Wilson's War." There are a few somber moments, a good bit of humor, and the editing keeps it interesting. And I swear that for 5 minutes Langella WAS Nixon, if not channeling him from beyond.

All the movie news fit to blog!
– Good news for Zack Snyder/ "Watchmen" fans. Warner Bros. and Fox have reached a settlement over the movie. For those who don't know the backstory Warner Bros. gave the go-ahead to do a "Watchmen" movie. Late in the game a contract was found dating back to the Nineties which showed that Fox had distribution rights on the graphic novel. Fox threatened to halt distribution while the WB was too far into production to stop the movie (i.e. it was almost in post). The settlement is reportedly $5-$10 mil from WB upfront to Fox, then an additional 5-8% of the theatrical gross.
– A new prequel for "The Thing" will involve what happened to the Norwegian scientists (who were dead at the beginning of John Carpenter's "The Thing.")
– Keanu Reeves has been confirmed for the "Cowboy Bebop" movie.
– Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke will be in "Iron Man 2."
– Joaquin Phoenix has officially left acting to be a rap star. Chronicling his adventures on video is his best friend Casey Affleck.
– J.K. Simmons will reprise his role as J.J. Jameson in "Spidey 4."
– Reshooting on the upcoming "Wolverine" movie DOES NOT mean previous shooting went bad. Several actors' schedules couldn't clear until now.
– Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day," "The Day After Tomorrow") is slated to direct Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy.
– Pioneer will stop making Laserdisc players after 3000 for the year. This is surprising since I didn't realize the players were still being made, and a movie hasn't been pressed on LD since 2000.
– Samuel L. Jackson may not play Nick Fury in the upcoming "Nick Fury" and "Avengers" movie. Apparently, contract negotiations have broken down due to the paycheck Jackson was requesting.
– Jackie Chan will play "Mr. Miyagi" in the "Karate Kid" remake starring Jayden Smith (Will Smith's son).
– "Transformers 2" info: The Decepticons will use Devastator (from the Constructicons) and the Autobots will use Superion (constructed from the Aerialbots).
– Warner Bros. has put DC Comics movies on hold.
– The next Superman movie will have a new villain.
– Relative Media has purchased Rogue Pictures from Universal.
– A homeless man was cast in Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" movie.
– Bollywood is set to remake "Back to the Future."
– "The Terminator" has now been submitted for preservation in the US Film Registry.
– Jay Mohr changes his name to Jay Ferguson Cox Mohr, due to his wife Nikki Cox.
– Bruce Boxleitner and Jeff Bridges will return for the next "Tron" movie.
– VHS is done. The last movie to be released on it was "A History of Violence."

Actor Ricardo Montalban passed away from on January 14th. Born Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalban y Merino in Mexico, Montalban arrived in Hollywood in the 40's and played in many Westerns, usually as an "Indian" or "Latin lover." The Studios suggested that he change his name to Ricky Martin, but he refused. He went on to play Japanese characters in film and TV, most notably the role of Nakamura in "Sayonara." He's more fondly remembered as Mr. Roarke in the TV series, "Fantasy Island" (1978-1984), the owner of a mysterious island where people can come and live out their fantasies for a price. In 1982 he reprised his role from the original "Star Trek" series in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" as the titular villain left by Capt. James T. Kirk on a planet. He was also known for being the spokesman for the Chrysler Cordoba, praising its "soft, Corinthian leather." Montalban was 88 at the time of death.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

British film and television actor Patrick McGoohan passed away on January 13th. McGoohan's career dates back to the 50's with appearances in "You Are There" and "Moby Dick Rehearsed" on TV, as well as films "Passage Home." As his career took off he was offered the role of James Bond but turned it down, opting to create a spy who uses his wits instead of guns and created "Danger Man" ("Secret Agent Man" in the U.S.). The show ran from 1960-61 and 64-67 and had a good following. Toward the end of "Danger Man," McGoohan was asked, "What does a spy do after retirement?" This led to the influential cult TV series "The Prisoner."
McGoohan starred as well as co-wrote and directed a few episodes in this series about a spy who retires and is kidnapped and placed in The Village, a secluded locale that housed retired spies, giving them numbers and taking their names away. He starred as Number Six and each week he had to outwit the Village head Number Two who had a direct mission under Number One to find out why Number Six retired; meanwhile, Number Six struggled to find out who Number One really was. The end of the series was so aggravating that it made the front page of the London Times.
After "The Prisoner" McGoohan continued in film with roles in "Ice Station Zebra," "Scanners," "The Phantom," and "A Tike to Kill," and in TV with the show, "Rafferty." He's also greatly remembered as King Longshanks in Mel Gibson's "Braveheart." McGoohan was 80 at the time of death.
Number Six has left the Village. Be seeing you.

Early Peanut Feeding Guidelines Still Not Reaching Families
Esther Landhuis
Four years after new infant feeding guidelines were issued to prevent allergies to peanut and other foods, 70% of surveyed parents and caregivers in the United States said they had never heard about the new recommendation.
Food allergies in developed countries have doubled in each of the last decades and now affect 7.6% of US children. About 1 in 50 are allergic to peanut. Data from the 2015 LEAP study and other research has convincingly shown that early, sustained feeding of peanuts, eggs and other allergens can prevent babies from developing allergies to these foods.
Based on those findings, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) updated its feeding guidelines in 2017, urging parents to introduce these foods to babies around 4-6 months of age rather than wait until 1-3 years of age, as previously recommended. The American Academy of Pediatrics approved those guidelines too, and in 2019 changed its own feeding recommendations.
To assess awareness of this new guidance and to what extent these recommendations are being translated into clinical practice, researchers surveyed a demographically representative US sample of 3062 parents and caregivers with children between 7 months and 3½ years old. The survey was conducted in English and Spanish over the web or by phone.
More than one third reported that their child's primary care physician never discussed when to start feeding peanut-containing foods. And among those whose doctors did offer guidance, fewer than 1 in 4 specifically recommended introducing peanut by 6 months of age.
These data show that "despite strong evidence that early introduction of peanut within the first year of life can prevent the development of peanut allergy, this evidence is simply not making its way to parents of infants," said Christopher Warren, PhD, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. Warren led the study and presented the findings on a poster at this year's American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology annual meeting in New Orleans.
In addition to caregivers, the Northwestern team surveyed US allergists and pediatricians about the new feeding guidelines. Uptake was fairly good among allergists, with 65% reporting full implementation. On the other hand, while most pediatricians seemed familiar with the 2017 recommendations, fewer than one third said they were following them.
"What's unique about this challenge is that it's not just a guideline change — it's a guideline reversal," said Wendy Sue Swanson, MD, chief medical officer for SpoonfulONE, a company that makes mix-ins and other products for multi-allergen feeding. After telling families for years to avoid these allergens in early life because food allergies were rising, "it's harder advice to say, actually, we were wrong. Not only should you not wait, you should get peanut in while your baby's immune system has this critical moment to learn and develop, and you should keep getting it in," Swanson told Medscape Medical News.
Making matters worse, pediatricians are time pressed. Typically, at 4- to 6-month-old well-check visits, "they're talking about sleep and development and feeding and milestones," said Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, professor of pediatrics and medicine at Northwestern Feinberg, who led the allergist and pediatrician analyses.
Another challenge: Guidelines differ depending on the child's level of food allergy risk, so it's hard to explain them clearly and quickly. Babies at highest risk — as judged by having severe eczema, egg allergy, or both — should get peanut IgE blood testing and, if negative, begin regular consumption of peanut by 4-6 months. Intermediate-risk babies who have mild-to-moderate eczema are recommended to start peanut-containing foods by 6 months. And for low-risk babies with no eczema or known food allergies, the guidance is simply to introduce peanut-containing foods "in accordance with family preferences and cultural practices."
As for pediatricians who say it's hard to distinguish mild-to-moderate from severe eczema, "any eczema puts you at some risk," Gupta told Medscape Medical News. "If they've required steroid creams to clear up their skin, or if you look at their skin and you think it's severe, don't hesitate. Go ahead and draw the IgE and send them to an allergist."
Australia, which has the highest rate of confirmed food allergy, has had more success implementing early feeding guidelines, said Swanson. Unlike the United States' tiered approach, she said, they "had a national guideline that very crisply, years ago, told parents what to do." Australia also has nurse educators that follow up with new moms to make sure they understand and follow the recommendations.
Gupta receives research support from the National Institutes of Health, Food Allergy Research and Education, the Melchiorre Family Foundation, the Sunshine Charitable Foundation, the Walder Foundation, the UnitedHealth Group, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Genentech. She serves as a medical consultant/advisor for Genentech, Novartis, and Food Allergy Research and Education. Swanson serves as chief medical officer for SpoonfulONE.

Q: Is it possible to trap a segmentation fault? My application depends on ghostscript to turn some pdf files into a series of images for each page of the documents. This is a simplified version:
import locale

from ghostscript import Ghostscript as gs
from ghostscript import cleanup
from cv2 import imread, IMREAD_GRAYSCALE as GRAY
from multiprocessing import cpu_count

args = [
  "",
  "-q", "-r300", "-dNOPAUSE",
  "-sDEVICE=pgmraw",
  "-sOutputFile=%d.pgm",
  "-dNumRenderingThreads=" + str(cpu_count()),
  "-f", "_.pdf" #filename will always be "_.pdf"
]
encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding()
args = [a.encode(encoding) for a in args]

def pdftoimarray():
    cleanup()
    gs(*args)
    imarray = []
    for filename in os.listdir():
        imarray.append(imread(filename, GRAY))
    return imarray

(I removed the cleanup of the filesystem at the end on purpose: It's not really important for this question)
Problem is, I can't really trust the source of these documents, and some of them may be faulty. Running some tests, I discovered that some of these bad documents cause ghostscript to actually segfault, which in turn makes my entire application crash.
Normally, a segfault is a very serious event that we can't really recover from, so I'm skeptical if it is actually possible to trap it. But in my case it shouldn't be really that serious: Assuming my program is still in a valid state, I could just flag that document as bad and move on.
Question: Can I somehow trap this segmentation fault in my dependency, and recover from it?
This has been somewhat asked before in Segmentation Fault Catch, but the only answer is wrong (It suggests trapping it with signal.signal, but the documentation clearly says that catching synchronous signals such as SIGSEGV makes little sense using it. The same documentation points to faulthandler, but it can't really trap the signal: It just provides better error messages in case it happens).
This leaves the question of how is this question unique, and not a duplicate: I'm somewhat less restricted: I'm not intending to treat the problem at all: I just want to ignore it and move on. Any points on actually avoiding the segfault in ghostscript in the first place will also be very well received.
This question is a bit old, but I thought I should share this: I was watching a video about a cool new memory allocator, and on one of the questions from the audience, the author explains that he "Installs a segfault handler", which is very much what I am interested in. I still don't know how he does it exactly, so this doesn't answer my question completely, but it gives me a good place to start researching. I'll post an answer here if I manage to figure this out myself.
Here is the video (the link is at the time he answers the question I'm talking about)
https://youtu.be/c1UBJbfR-H0?t=2058

A: I had a similar problem, rendering cad files via pythonocc.
Sometimes when opening a file the script just segfaulted. Really annoying. You had to remove the file manually and restart the batch.
So basically the idea is to start an extra process for the task and check it's exitcode:
import multiprocessing as mp

def do_stuff_that_segfaults(param):
    call_shitty_library(param)

def main():
    p = mp.Process(target=do_stuff_that_segfaults, args=param)
    p.start()
    p.join()
    if p.exitcode == -11:  # Segmentation fault
        do_stuff_in_case_of_segfault()

I've also tried other suggestions, like the Segmentation Fault Catch you linked to but to no avail.
I really would have liked to use mp.pool() to use all cores, but you don't get the exit status from mp.pool().
So far the code runs well and I moved the files resulting in a segfault into another folder via do_stuff_in_case_of_segfault() without getting my main script killed.

Q: Rest API to get Torrent info based on torrent Hash I need to get details of a TV show episode or a Movie based on a torrent info hash. Is there any REST API for the same? If not which website is the best to scrape such details?
e.g. - Input - d532d9e1eb44933f3989b8447101cd5eeff16d6f
       output - Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 1
P.s. - As long as it is REST, it doesn't matter but still "I m trying to implement this using python."

A: BTDigg.org has a Search API (by request), see: http://btdigg.org/about/
I don't know if it is REST.
Otherwise it's not hard to request like:
http://btdigg.org/search?info_hash=7a1073bc39e6b0b01e3730227b8ffea6aeac5d59
and get the name from the result.
