When the Spanish Armada came to Scotland

The idea of Scotland being caught up in the story of the Spanish Armada may seem bizarre, and yet wrecked off Fair Isle is one of the Spanish fleet's flagship vessels. How did this 650-ton ship come to end up in the North Sea? And how do the activities of the Armada relate to, among others, Mary, Queen of Scots? Jackie Bird is on a mission to find out.  This year marks 70 years since the National Trust for Scotland acquired Fair Isle, the most remote inhabited island in the UK. While now perhaps best known as a seabird paradise and the home to world-renowned knitwear, Fair Isle is also the site of Iron Age settlements, a Second World War German plane, a Stevenson lighthouse… and not far offshore, the remains of El Gran Grifón. Joining Jackie to discuss the Spanish ship and how it came to be so far north is Dr Colin Martin, a marine archaeologist who, with his colleague Sydney Wignall, excavated the wreck in 1970.  To enjoy more episodes of Love Scotland, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.  For more information on Fair Isle, click here.

Join world-renowned historian Geoffrey Parker for a definitive history of the Spanish Armada. In July 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Corunna to conquer England. Three weeks later an English fireship attack in the Channel—and then a fierce naval battle—foiled the planned invasion. Many myths still surround these events. The genius of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain's efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter? In his recent book, Armada, (co-authored with Colin Martin), Parker draws on archives from around the world and deploys vital new evidence from Armada shipwrecks off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. In a gripping account, he will provide a fresh understanding of how the rival fleets came into being; how they looked, sounded, and smelled; and what happened when they finally clashed. Looking beyond the events of 1588 to the complex politics which made war between England and Spain inevitable, and at the political and dynastic aftermath, Armada deconstructs the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed. Geoffrey Parker is a Distinguished University Professor and Andreas Dorpalen Professor of European History at the Ohio State University. His book, Armada, can be found at https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300259865/armada/. Nicholas Breyfogle, Moderator, is an Associate Professor of History and Director of the Goldberg Center for Excellence in Teaching at Ohio State University.

They were partly to stop skiers crossing 'the sharp ends' but they were widely used in World Cup speed events because they had the effect of dampening the ski and filtering out vibration. Marker developed their own version which had a weight suspended by springs, it was intended as a more active 'suspension' for ski racers, though the thing weighed a ton. The earliest ones were simply plastic boxes but the last version was a spring loaded coat hanger wire affair which stopped your tips crossing but folded flat if you tried to uncross them”   BobinCH (snowheads): "Gethin on Solden in October [Episode 159] was an interesting listen" Richard_Sideways (snowheads): "Nice podcast as usual" Elements.biz: "Super interesting conversations [in Episode 160].

The Armada – and in English history there is only one – set sail from Lisbon on 28 May 1588, tasked with eliminating the Protestant Queen Elizabeth and restoring Catholic worship throughout England. Its creator, Philip II, ruler of Spain and Portugal, had at his disposal ‘the greatest and strongest combination that was ever gathered in all Christendom'. The fleet consisted of 130 ships, 2,431 guns, and 30,000 men. And yet the Armada's story was one of almost constant misfortune. On this episode of The PastCast, historian Geoffrey Parker, co-author of a major new history on the doomed campaign, explains what really happened in 1588. The Armada is also the subject of an article in the latest issue of Military History Matters magazine, which is out now in the UK and in early October in the US. It is also available to read in full on The Past website. On this episode, Geoffrey spoke with regular PastCast presenter Calum Henderson. The Past brings together the most exciting stories and the very best writing from the realms of history, archaeology, heritage, and the ancient world.

But really, nothing in the list seems like a big deal to me. Plugin authors, including myself, should go test this. Already found one problem. pytest-check: stop on fail works fine, but failing tests marked with xfail show up as xpass. Gonna have to look into that. And might have to recruit Anthony to help out again. To try it: pip install pytest==6.0.0rc1 I’m currently running through the pytest book to make sure it all still works with pytest 6. So far, so good. The one hiccup I’ve found so far, TinyDB had a breaking change with 4.0, so you need to pip install tinydb==3.15.2 to get the tasks project to run right.

How does it behave in different situations, with unexpected data? We can't just inspect the weights – that's not how neural networks work To understand a model, we need to run it and find behaviours we don't like TextAttack lets you run various different “attacks” from the current academic literature It also lets you create more robust training data using data augmentation, for example, replacing words with synonyms, swapping characters, etc. Michael #4: What is the core of the Python programming language? By Brett Cannon, core developer Brett and I discussed Python implementation for WebAssembly before Get Python into the browser, but with the fact that both iOS and Android support running JavaScript as part of an app it would also get Python on to mobile. We have lived with CPython for so long that I suspect most of us simply think that "Python == CPython". PyPy tries to be so compatible that they will implement implementation details of CPython. Basically most implementations of Python strive to pass CPython's test suite and to be as compatible with CPython as possible. Python’s dynamic nature makes it hard to do outside of an interpreter That has led Brett to contemplate the question of what exactly is Python? How much would one have to implement to compile Python directly to WebAssembly and still be considered a Python implementation? Does Python need a REPL? Could you live without locals()? How much compatibility is necessary to be useful? The answer dictates how hard it is to implement Python and how compatible it would be with preexisting software. [Brett] has no answers It might make sense to develop a compiler that translates Python code directly to WebAssembly and sacrifice some compatibility for performance. It might make sense to develop an interpreter that targets WebAssembly's design but maintains a lot of compatibility with preexisting code. It might make sense to simply support RustPython in their WebAssembly endeavours. Maybe Pyodide will get us there. Michael’s thoughts: How about a Python standard language spec? A standard-library “standard???!?” spec. It’s possible - .NET did it. What would be build if we could build it with web assembly? Interesting options open up, say with NodeJS like capabilities, front-end frameworks This could be MUCH bigger if we got browser makes to support alternative runtimes through WebAssembly Brian #5: Getting started with Pathlib Chris May Blog post: Stop working so hard on paths.

Current working dir: Path.cwd() Path building with / Working with files and folders Using glob Finding parts of paths and file names. Any time spent learning Pathlib is worth it. If I can do it in Pathlib, I do. It makes my code more readable. Ines #6: Data Version Control (DVC) We're currently working on v3.0 of spaCy and one of the big features is going to be a completely new way to train your custom models, manage end-to-end training workflows and make your experiments reproducible It will also integrate with a tool called DVC (short for Data Version Control), which we've started using internally DVC is an open-source tool for version control, specifically for machine learning and data Machine learning = code + data. You can check your code into a Git repo, but you can't really check in your datasets and model weights. So it's very difficult to keep track of changes. You can think of DVC as “Git for data” and the command line usage is actually pretty similar – for example, you run dvc init to initialize a repo and dvc add to start tracking assets DVC lets you track any assets by adding meta files to your repository. So everything, including your data, is versioned, and you can always go back to the commit with the best accuracy It also builds a dependency graph based on the inputs and outputs of each step, so you only have to re-run a step if things changed for example, you might have a preprocessing step that converts your data and then a step that trains your model. If the data hasn't changed, you don't have to re-run the preprocessing step. They recently released a new tool called CML (short for Continuous Machine Learning), which we haven't tried yet. CI for Machine Learning Previews look pretty cool: you can submit a PR with some changes and a GitHub action will run your experiment and auto-comment on the PR with the results, changes in accuracy and some graphs (similar to tools like Code Coverage etc.) Extra Michael: Podcast Python Search API package, by Anton Zhiyanov Mid-string f-string upgrades coming to PyCharm.

The host with the most, he brings to you the horror, the intrigue and the madness! All delivered in a funny accent like any decent ringmaster should. Colin, a database designer and analyst by trade stumbled upon the Church of Satan in early 2007. Liking what he read he then decided to join “for a bit of craic” and quickly embraced the philosophy. He founded the Satanic Players Society initially as a one-time Halloween special featured on another podcast. It wasn’t long after that he started receiving submissions from authors to have their work performed and the show took on a life of its own. Five years later the Satanic Players Society is still going on with over 30 members including actors, authors, musicians and illustrators working together to create a unique platform showcasing stories, poetry and various video segments. Colin, originally born and raised in East Belfast, Northern Ireland has recently moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where he lives with his wife and stepson.
