Tank Girl (1995, R)
Directed by Rachel Talalay
Written by Tedi Sarafien
Based upon the comic book.
Staring Lori Petty, Naomi Watts, Ice-T, and Malcolm MacDowell.
I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just that I'm a New Jersey mallrat. Maybe it's the fact that I'm a lifeless film geek who can fall in love with a story about a girl and her tank. Then again, maybe I'm just insane. But, really, with a movie as fun as Tank Girl, who gives a damn? Tank Girl could be viewed, if you want to put it intellectually, as a parody of post-apocolyptical nightmare movies. Hell, it's a lot more fun that watching The Postman. If you want to put it intellectually, Tank Girl could be taken as an anti-facist document. It could be taken as a warning of the evils of greed. It could be taken as a feminist protest, or as a showing of lesbian idealism. It could be the new film for the group that boldly states "I am woman, hear me roar", whoever they are this day of the week.
 Tank Girl isn't intellectual, it isn't literary, it isn't philosophical in any way shape or form that I could discern. Then why did I enjoy it? Because I'm human and it was fun.

The year is 2033 and, ever since a comet struck the Earth 14 years ago, it's been a little different. No celebrities, no cable TV, NO WATER. But, in the words of Tank Girl herself, "about 20 people have to shower together, so it ain't all bad".
Tank Girl is about like any other Gen-X heroine, sarcastic, sexy, able to kill people using her legs without breaking a nail. She's beer drinking, she's boxing, she's going around as a rebel stealing water from the notorious W&P (Water and Power). Of course, W&P decides to take them out and she barely survives.  Oh, well.
Tank Girl's put to work as a slave in W&P and still keeps her sarcasm. The evil scientist in charge wants her to work for him, but, being the hooker with the heart of gold that she is, she refuses.  Jet Girl's just fitting in, trying not to let her supervisor get in her greasy overalls, but she's about to fail at that goal when (*all guys cheer*) lesbian kiss!
Ok. Since I've laid it out in pure English with more sarcasm than Imus, I'm only going to ASSUME you're following me. Basically, Tank Girl steals a Tank and Jet Girl steals a jet, and they get away from W&P. But we're not done yet, gotta kill the bad guy. So the evil scientist takes a little girl that's a friend of Tank Girl's, holds her hostage while he waits for Tank Girl to come and save her.
Tank and Jet, ever out of their minds and cracking jokes, get the help of the Rippers, an army of half-kangaroo, half-man soldiers who all believe their someone reincaranted (one of them believes he was Jack Keorack, another believes he was a dog).
I'll be the first to admit that Tank Girl has absolute zero as far as redeeming value is concerned. But, you know what, I find that if I expect a drama each time I go to the theatre, I just get pissed off. So, you know what, I'm looking at Tank Girl as a comic book movie, as a sarcastic dark comedy. And, as far as those go, Tank Girl's an 88mm.

Written by Supakorn Laohasongkram on August 13th, 2014
Stereotype Threat! What is Stereotype threat? According to Claude M. Steele, he roughly defines it as a negative feeling one could recieve simply from being associated to a cult or a social identity.
For example, I am asian. So I could be identified with the negative aspects, or be streotypically threathen, about being asian. Like, for example, being weak, short, stingy, and has funny ascent, and so on and so forth. Whether or not this is true, according to Claude, is doesn't matter. And in my point of view, it is not our point of interest of this article. (or a topic which anyone should be discussing about at all.) What matters here is the fact that it has been scientifically proven that stereotype threat has a certain negative effect on the person's performance.
In today's world, where the internationalization of the globe has created a melting pot of cultures, stereotype threat has becomed rather common. So how should one deal with these threats? Are they really "threats"?
Here is my point of view.
1. Never expect others to understand you, always expect to understand others.
Often time we expects other people to be a certain way. We expects that everyone should be nice to one another, be culturally correct, and do everything accordingly. But the truth is, it's never like that because each person is different. We are all brought up differently; and thus think differently, wise or unwise. And as result, stereotype threat from others is something beyond one's control.
So don't expect others to not, or assume they should not, give you the stereotype threat because you can't. And when they do, and they will do, don't expect them to not. We all have our reasons of why we do certain things. So starts expecting from ourself to do some understanding on our part, and stop expecting others to revolve around you.
2. It's never a threat. It's a misunderstanding.
I think the word stereotype is neutral; however, the word "threat" is rather a negative word as if someone trying to hurt someone. And I believe stereotype threat are not really threat. They are merely generalization which has nothing to do with reality.
A great Theravada Buddhist monk named "Buddhadasa" once said, "If the insult is not true, then you have nothing to be angry about. However, if the insult is true, then you also don't have to be angry because it is true." So whichever way you see it, it's never a threat unless you allow it to be.
3. Truth and what people think is truth is completely exclusive from one another.
Don't let the fact mix with the fiction. People can think. Let them think. People will judge. Let them judge.  Let them have it. But do any of those ever tells anything about who you really are?
Of course not! These are just what people say. And what people say and who you are is completely different. People can say you are lazy. But if you know you work hard everday. Why bother?
Conclusion
Personally, I do not like the term "stereotype threat." It makes you feel as if someone is hurting another when they really are not. People is flawed by design and misunderstanding and stereotyping is just part of life. But what matters most in the end is to know yourself unbiased for who you really are. That way, one could find shelter in facts from the storm of fictions, truth from the thoughts of truth, and perhaps, find peace and stillness amidst the ups and downs life.


If the variable is not used, it's better to remove it to shorten the code and avoid redundant allocations.
The following cases are reported:
Configure the inspection:
Use the Report redundant initializers option to report redundant initializers:
int getI() {
int i = 0; // redundant initialization
i = 2;
return i;
}
Use the Report ++i when may be replaced with (i + 1) option to report the cases when ++i
expression
may be replaced with i + 1
:
int preInc(int i) {
int res = i;
return ++res;
}
Use the Report i++ when changed value is not used afterwards option to report the cases when the result of i++
expression
is not used later:
int postInc(int i) {
int res = i;
return res++;
}

Snoop Dogg enters broadcast booth at Lakers game, does hilarious commentary (Video)
by TSD StaffLos Angeles is home to many celebrities and musicians, so when the Lakers and Clippers play their games at the Staples Center, the stars tend to come out for the action — especially if it’s on the weekend.
Sunday’s Lakers-Spurs game wasn’t played at home, but one of Los Angeles’ biggest celebrities was at AT&T Center. Rapper Snoop Dogg was in the building for the big game, as he’s currently touring, with his next date scheduled for Tuesday in Dallas.
As such, Snoop was invited into the broadcast booth for the game, and he even provided some commentary at one point.
Classic Snoop.

One philosophy degree later, the first question that people ask when we meet is what it was like to add philosophy to a CS degree at an engineering school where most people are just trying to skirt by the humanities requirement. There is a mix of pleasant surprise (“finally, not just another tech person!”) and curiosity in the question — what is there to studying philosophy, really, beyond debating esoteric questions like the trolley problem and the meaning of existence?
I didn’t really know what philosophy was either, for a while. Coming from an engineering background, the concepts are annoyingly fuzzy, and the boundaries of problems poorly defined. You realize quickly that you don’t reach a conclusive answer to any question, only a better understanding of the difficulties in answering it. In some subfields of philosophy, it feels like “anything goes” — it’s unclear what you’re supposed to be taking as a given; people just construct entirely new frameworks.
Unlike other academic disciplines, it’s unclear what progress looks like. Philosophers seem to debate questions for centuries without coming to a consensus, despite exploring the whole conceptual territory.
After suspending my skepticism through several semesters, my views on what philosophy was good for started to crystallize. Here’s what I realized, and what I tell my friends who express the same reservations and uneasiness as they go through their first interactions with philosophy:
Philosophy comes out of talking about fuzzy, everyday concepts and making them more rigorous.
When you compare philosophy to math / engineering, it doesn’t feel precise. People feel uneasy, thinking that philosophy isn’t worthwhile because it’s not as rigorous or logical as they expected.
In reality, the rigor of math simply isn’t possible when it comes to the everyday questions that we grapple with. When we talk about hard problems like what effective schooling should look like, or how much governance should be imposed on communities, we don’t simply “prove” what the answer is. We can no longer assume a controlled environment and well-defined scope. Progress on real problems is inherently nonlinear and undecidable. People throw their ideas and reasons haphazardly into the ring, we end up with ten different schools of thought, and yet it seems like the answer is still more complex and nuanced than anything we can come up with.
Philosophy is a way to address these questions more systematically — it takes our fuzzy concepts and intuitions and makes them rigorous. It isn’t meant to provide answers, but the primitives, frameworks, and abstractions that we can use to structure the world.
In metaphysics, for example, when we talk about ontology, we try to formalize our natural intuitions for objects (“if we were to list all the objects in the world, what determines whether something is on the list?”). Other areas of philosophy formalize questions that are more familiar and concrete — what justice is (political philosophy), what scientific progress looks like (philosophy of science), the role of luck in judgments of morality (ethics), how we justify our beliefs (epistemology).
These “what is X, really” questions that are typical in philosophy aren’t purely theoretical descriptions; their answers sometimes bear directly on judgments and actions that we have to make in practice. Take the recent discussions on the discriminatory impacts of machine learning. We have to ask — what does it mean for something to be fair? If you use the same decision-making policy to make predictions for two different individuals, is that fair? This is surprisingly complex, and much of recent research not only borrows notions from political philosophy, but echoes the same struggles and debates that occurred historically!
The complexity and apparent “fuzziness” of philosophy isn’t a problem with the discipline itself, it’s a feature of the content that it deals with. Instead of measuring its worth against math, we should be comparing it to everyday conversation, and seeing how the mental models we extract from philosophy clarify how we think.
Philosophy might not share the clean rigor of math, but the mental tools it provides are surprisingly similar. Instead of manipulating numbers and symbols, you learn to manipulate ideas.
I started observing new patterns in my own thinking: recognizing what the question really is, identifying when an idea hasn’t fully covered the possible space of considerations, inverting an argument to get a clean counterexample, mapping out the threads of an argument. You learn to find an isomorphism between the concepts in your brain and someone else’s. You realize that even when you’re talking about the same thing, people have vastly different mental maps. Different words and explanations make sense to us for the same concept. Framing your counterarguments in another map has a more powerful effect on others.
Philosophy professors are extraordinarily good at all of this: distilling the essence of some meandering argument, and constructing a simple counterexample that makes its weaknesses immediately apparent. This was a familiar refrain in classes:
Student: Wait, but isn’t X not quite right because A and B? And P and Q makes it complicated because then this other thing…
Prof: So your objection is Y, right?
S: …yes.
P: Ok, consider this counterexample C. Y would imply you believe Z about C, which you might choose to accept, but it also seems like an extreme position.
S: Ah, hm.
Outside of philosophy, most discussions don’t go like this — it’s too easy to get absorbed in making your own points and insights known, instead of addressing the crux of the disagreement. But when this sort of communication is primarily what you do in philosophy, you inevitably find it translates into speaking and thinking clearly elsewhere.
None of philosophy is necessary in the way that programming is necessary to become a software engineer. Going through the world bottom-up, operating on the low-level details, works perfectly well. You don’t need to get ahold of what theories are to be a great scientist, nor do you have to know what consequentialism is to have a personal moral system; assumptions and abstractions are implicit in action.
Still, I’ve personally found that there’s a lot to gain — it’s made me a much clearer thinker.

Keyboard: if you care a lot about about the keyboard....
The 16-inch MacBook Pro’s keyboard is a regression back to the old scissor-switch design. That said, it’s Apple’s way of saying that the newfangled Butterfly keyboard failed and the older keyboard design is, in fact, better.
I spent some time doing comparison typing on the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro (with the latest Butterfly keyboard) and the new MBP 16: the difference was stark. Stark enough that you might want to get the MBP 16 just for the keyboard if that matters a lot to you. In short, better travel and tactile feedback translate into a more pleasant typing experience.
The XPS 15 has the same keyboard Dell has been using for a while. It’s nothing to rave about (so-so tactile feedback) but it gets the job done. The carbon fiber palm rest is a great touch, setting it apart from the pack.
Trackpad: 2x the size
And for those who care about the size of the trackpad, you’ll notice in the photo at bottom that the MacBook Pro has a trackpad that is roughly twice the size of the XPS. To be honest, I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.
Display: Dell wins
This is huge for both laptops. For Apple, obviously because it’s upped the display size to 16 inches from 15.4 inches and shrunk the bezels in the process. For Dell because it comes with a drop-dead gorgeous AMOLED display.
Dell’s OLED wins.
AMOLED displays are a very different animal from LCDs. Colors pop, blacks are really black, contrast is astronomically higher, and AMOLEDs offer the potential for extending battery life by turning off pixels in dark mode. All of the above is why the world’s best smartphones now sport AMOLED displays.
Dell claims an astronomical 100,000:1 contrast ratio. Dell also claims 100 percent coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. Testing has also shown that the DCI-P3 color coverage is 97.6 percent and sRGB is 99 percent.
And Dell’s display is 4K, Apple still isn’t quite there.
The 16-inch MacBook Pro’s display has a wide DCI-P3-rated color gamut (97 percent), 100 percent of sRGB, and 91 percent Adobe RGB.
It’s probably one of the best LCD displays out there and the hardware supports up to two 6K displays. But it isn’t OLED, which is why, no matter how good Apple’s LCD is, it won’t top the XPS 15.
Performance: close
The performance of the MacBook Pro’s AMD Pro 5500M graphics chip is up to 2x better than the old Radeon RX 560X putting it in the same league as the Nvidia GTX 1650 mobile GPU (on the XPS 15).
And the two machines are pretty evenly matched on CPUs.
On Geekbench 4, the MBP 16 CPU test is showing Single-Core scores of around 5,400 and Multi-Core scores of roughly 28,000.
Dell’s XPS 7590 Geekbench 4 CPU scores are similar.
Sound: Apple wins
No contest, Apple wins. The 16-inch MBP delivers room-filling sound with the most fulsome, undistorted bass I’ve ever heard in a laptop. If sound matters to you, it’s reason enough to buy the new MBP.
The XPS 15 sound is good but, again, the MBP 16 is in another league.
Biometrics: Apple wins
I think all laptops should have both Face and fingerprint ID. However, since neither the MBP 16 nor the XPS 15 have Face ID, you have to rely on the fingerprint sensor. The MBP 16’s is almost flawless. It works almost every time. Dell’s isn’t as accurate and sometimes takes a few tries and sometimes forces you to enter a PIN to sign in because it fails to recognize your fingerprint.
Chassis / weight / design: Apple wins on weight, Dell on materials
Apple wins on weight. Despite boasting a bigger display and longer (front to back) chassis, it’s lighter at 4.3 pounds versus the XPS’ 4.5 pounds. The thickness of both laptops is pretty much the same.
Design comes down to personal preference. The 16-inch MacBook Pro design is an improvement over the 15-inch because of the smaller bezels = better screen to body ratio.
Dell’s design is getting long in the tooth but its carbon fiber palm rest falls into the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” category.
Battery life: no winner
Based on anecdotal testing of my usage scenarios, they seem to be pretty close. Neither gets great battery life but if you dial back the screen brightness and avoid games and movies, you can squeeze out all-day battery life on both laptops. That said, more testing is required, particularly for the MBP 16, which I’ve been using for less than a week.
Verdict:
Dell wins on bang for buck. It costs less and you get an amazing OLED display to boot. The new 16-inch MBP is scary-good too and the best MacBook Apple has ever made.
So, above, I tried to break it down on individual category wins (e.g., display, sound) as every user looks for features that are important to them. But, again, if you don’t want to pay the Apple tax but still want a great big-screen laptop, the XPS 15 may be the way to go.

11.2 Time Series Data and Serial Correlation
GDP is commonly defined as the value of goods and services produced over a given time period. The data set us_macro_quarterly.xlsx is provided by the authors and can be downloaded here. It provides quarterly data on U.S. real (i.e. inflation adjusted) GDP from 1947 to 2004.
As before, a good starting point is to plot the data. The package quantmod provides some convenient functions for plotting and computing with time series data. We also load the package readxl to read the data into R.
# attach the package 'quantmod'
library(quantmod)
We begin by importing the data set.
# load US macroeconomic data
USMacroSWQ <- read_xlsx("Data/us_macro_quarterly.xlsx",
sheet = 1,
col_types = c("text", rep("numeric", 9)))
# format date column
USMacroSWQ$X__1 <- as.yearqtr(USMacroSWQ$X__1, format = "%Y:0%q")
# adjust column names
colnames(USMacroSWQ) <- c("Date", "GDPC96", "JAPAN_IP", "PCECTPI",
"GS10", "GS1", "TB3MS", "UNRATE", "EXUSUK", "CPIAUCSL")
We the first column of us_macro_quarterly.xlsx contains text and the remaining ones are numeric. Using col_types = c(“text”, rep(“numeric”, 9)) we tell read_xlsx() take this into account when importing the data.
It is useful to work with time-series objects that keep track of the frequency of the data and are extensible. In what follows we will use objects of the class xts, see ?xts
. Since the data in USMacroSWQ are in quarterly frequency we convert the first column to yearqtr format before generating the xts object GDP.
# GDP series as xts object
GDP <- xts(USMacroSWQ$GDPC96, USMacroSWQ$Date)["1960::2013"]
# GDP growth series as xts object
GDPGrowth <- xts(400 * log(GDP/lag(GDP)))
The following code chunks reproduce Figure 14.1 of the book.
# reproduce Figure 14.1 (a) of the book
plot(log(as.zoo(GDP)),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Logarithm",
xlab = "Date",
main = "U.S. Quarterly Real GDP")
# reproduce Figure 14.1 (b) of the book
plot(as.zoo(GDPGrowth),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Logarithm",
xlab = "Date",
main = "U.S. Real GDP Growth Rates")
Notation, Lags, Differences, Logarithms and Growth Rates
For observations of a variable \(Y\) recorded over time, \(Y_t\) denotes the value observed at time \(t\). The period between two sequential observations \(Y_t\) and \(Y_{t-1}\) is a unit of time: hours, days, weeks, months, quarters, years etc. Key Concept 14.1 introduces the essential terminology and notation for time series data we use in the subsequent sections.
Key Concept 14.1
Lags, First Differences, Logarithms and Growth Rates
Previous values of a time series are called lags. The first lag of \(Y_t\) is \(Y_{t-1}\). The \(j^{th}\) lag of \(Y_t\) is \(Y_{t-j}\). In r ttcode(“R”), lags of univariate or multivariate time series objects are conveniently computed by lag(), see ?lag.
Sometimes we work with a differenced series. The first difference of a series is \(\Delta Y_{t} = Y_t - Y_{t-1}\), the difference between periods \(t\) and \(t-1\). If Y is a time series, the series of first differences is computed as diff(Y).
It may be convenient to work with the first difference in logarithms of a series. We denote this by \(\Delta \log(Y_t) = \log(Y_t) - \log(Y_{t-1})\). For a time series Y, this is obtained using log(Y/lag(Y)).
\(100 \Delta \log (Y_t)\) is an approximation for the percentage change between \(Y_t\) and \(Y_{t-1}\).
The definitions made in Key Concept 14.1 are useful because of two properties that are common to many economic time series:
Exponential growth: some economic series grow approximately exponentially such that their logarithm is approximately linear.
The standard deviation of many economic time series is approximately proportional to their level. Therefore, the standard deviation of the logarithm of such a series is approximately constant.
Furthermore, it is common to report growth rates in macroeconomic series which is why \(\log\)-differences are often used.
Table 14.1 of the book presents the quarterly U.S. GDP time series, its logarithm, the annualized growth rate and the first lag of the annualized growth rate series for the period 2012:Q1 - 2013:Q1. The following simple function can be used to compute these quantities for a quarterly time series series.
# compute logarithms, annual growth rates and 1st lag of growth rates
quants <- function(series) {
s <- series
return(
data.frame("Level" = s,
"Logarithm" = log(s),
"AnnualGrowthRate" = 400 * log(s / lag(s)),
"1stLagAnnualGrowthRate" = lag(400 * log(s / lag(s))))
)
}
The annual growth rate is computed using the approximation \[Annual Growth Y_t = 400 \cdot\Delta\log(Y_t)\] since \(100\cdot\Delta\log(Y_t)\) is an approximation of the quarterly percentage changes, see Key Concept 14.1.
We call quants() on observations for the period 2011:Q3 - 2013:Q1.
# obtain a data.frame with level, logarithm, annual growth rate and its 1st lag of GDP
quants(GDP["2011-07::2013-01"])

Autocorrelation
Observations of a time series are typically correlated. This type of correlation is called autocorrelation or serial correlation. Key Concept 14.2 summarizes the concepts of population autocovariance and population autocorrelation and shows how to compute their sample equivalents.
Key Concept 14.2
Autocorrelation and Autocovariance
The covariance between \(Y_t\) and its \(j^{th}\) lag, \(Y_{t-j}\), is called the \(j^{th}\) autocovariance of the series \(Y_t\). The \(j^{th}\) autocorrelation coefficient, also called the serial correlation coefficient, measures the correlation between \(Y_t\) and \(Y_{t-j}\).
We thus have \[\begin{align*} j^{th} \text{autocovariance} =& \, Cov(Y_t,Y_{t-j}), \\ j^{th} \text{autocorrelation} = \rho_j =& \, \rho_{Y_t,Y_{t-j}} = \frac{Cov(Y_t,Y_{t-j)}}{\sqrt{Var(Y_t)Var(Y_{t-j})}}. \end{align*}\]Population autocovariance and population autocorrelation can be estimated by \(\widehat{Cov(Y_t,Y_{t-j})}\), the sample autocovariance, and \(\widehat{\rho}_j\), the sample autocorrelation:
\[\begin{align*} \widehat{Cov(Y_t,Y_{t-j})} =& \, \frac{1}{T} \sum_{t=j+1}^T (Y_t - \overline{Y}_{j+1:T})(Y_{t-j} - \overline{Y}_{1:T-j}), \\ \widehat{\rho}_j =& \, \frac{\widehat{Cov(Y_t,Y_{t-j})}}{\widehat{Var(Y_t)}} \end{align*}\]\(\overline{Y}_{j+1:T}\) denotes the average of \(Y_{j+1}, Y{j+2}, \dots, Y_T\).
In R the function acf() from the package stats computes the sample autocovariance or the sample autocorrelation function.
Using acf() it is straightforward to compute the first four sample autocorrelations of the series GDPGrowth.
acf(na.omit(GDPGrowth), lag.max = 4, plot = F)
##
## Autocorrelations of series 'na.omit(GDPGrowth)', by lag
##
## 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00
## 1.000 0.352 0.273 0.114 0.106
This is evidence that there is mild positive autocorrelation in the growth of GDP: if GDP grows faster than average in one period, there is a tendency for it to grow faster than average in the following periods.
Other Examples of Economic Time Series
Figure 14.2 of the book presents four plots: the U.S. unemployment rate, the U.S. Dollar / British Pound exchange rate, the logarithm of the Japanese industrial production index as well as daily changes in the Wilshire 5000 stock price index, a financial time series. The next code chunk reproduces the plots of the three macroeconomic series and adds percentage changes in the daily values of the New York Stock Exchange Composite index as a fourth one (the data set NYSESW comes with the AER package).
# define series as xts objects
USUnemp <- xts(USMacroSWQ$UNRATE, USMacroSWQ$Date)["1960::2013"]
DollarPoundFX <- xts(USMacroSWQ$EXUSUK, USMacroSWQ$Date)["1960::2013"]
JPIndProd <- xts(log(USMacroSWQ$JAPAN_IP), USMacroSWQ$Date)["1960::2013"]
# attach NYSESW data
data("NYSESW")
NYSESW <- xts(Delt(NYSESW))
# divide plotting area into 2x2 matrix
par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
# plot the series
plot(as.zoo(USUnemp),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Percent",
xlab = "Date",
main = "US Unemployment Rate",
cex.main = 1)
plot(as.zoo(DollarPoundFX),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Dollar per pound",
xlab = "Date",
main = "U.S. Dollar / B. Pound Exchange Rate",
cex.main = 1)
plot(as.zoo(JPIndProd),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Logarithm",
xlab = "Date",
main = "Japanese Industrial Production",
cex.main = 1)
plot(as.zoo(NYSESW),
col = "steelblue",
lwd = 2,
ylab = "Percent per Day",
xlab = "Date",
main = "New York Stock Exchange Composite Index",
cex.main = 1)
The series show quite different characteristics. The unemployment rate increases during recessions and declines during economic recoveries and growth. The Dollar/Pound exchange rates shows a deterministic pattern until the end of the Bretton Woods system. Japan’s industrial production exhibits an upward trend and decreasing growth. Daily changes in the New York Stock Exchange composite index seem to fluctuate randomly around the zero line. The sample autocorrelations support this conjecture.
# compute sample autocorrelation for the NYSESW series
acf(na.omit(NYSESW), plot = F, lag.max = 10)
##
## Autocorrelations of series 'na.omit(NYSESW)', by lag
##
## 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
## 1.000 0.040 -0.016 -0.023 0.000 -0.036 -0.027 -0.059 0.013 0.017
## 10
## 0.004
The first 10 sample autocorrelation coefficients are very close to zero. The default plot generated by acf()
provides further evidence.
# plot sample autocorrelation for the NYSESW series
acf(na.omit(NYSESW), main = "Sample Autocorrelation for NYSESW Data")
The blue dashed bands represent values beyond which the autocorrelations are significantly different from zero at \(5\%\) level. Even when the true autocorrelations are zero, we need to expect a few exceedences — recall the definition of a type-I-error from Key Concept 3.5. For most lags we see that the sample autocorrelation does not exceed the bands and there are only a few cases that lie marginally beyond the limits.
Furthermore, the NYSESW series exhibits what econometricians call volatility clustering: there are periods of high and periods of low variance. This is common for many financial time series.

MARVIN'S ROOM A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1997 Scott Renshaw
(Miramax) Starring: Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Diane Keaton, Robert DeNiro, Hume Cronyn, Gwen Verdon, Hal Scardino. Screenplay: Scott McPherson, based on his play. Producers: Scott Rudin, Jane Rosenthal, Robert DeNiro. Director: Jerry Zaks. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (some strong profanity, mature themes). Running Time: 97 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Please ignore the next couple of sentences if you are a stickler about having no part of a plot spoiled for you: in MARVIN'S ROOM, nobody dies. Illness plays a significant role in the story, and many viewers have come to resent maudlin disease-of-the-week melodramas in which everything seems to function as an extended prologue to a tear-jerking deathbed scene. There is something terribly dehumanizing about making an illness the central character in a narrative, so it is a relief to discover that MARVIN'S ROOM is actually about people. Though occasionally stage-bound and over-plotted, MARVIN'S ROOM finds superb actors lending a surprisingly restrained touch to a genre crying out for a little restraint.
Diane Keaton plays Bessie Wakefield, a never-married woman who has spent most of her adult life caring for her bed-ridden father Marvin (Hume Cronyn) and somewhat simple-minded Aunt Ruth (Gwen Verdon) in Florida. After years of helping others, however, Bessie suddenly finds herself in need of help when she is diagnosed with leukemia. With a bone marrow donation her best chance at survival, Bessie calls on the only other immediate family she has: Lee (Meryl Streep), the sister she has not seen in nearly twenty years. Though miles and profound differences have separated them, Lee comes to Bessie with her two sons -- emotionally troubled Hank (Leonardo DiCaprio) and bookish Charlie (Hal Scardino). The reunion is strained by a variety of conflicts, but gradually the family members begin to realize the strength of the bonds that connect them, and their need for each other.
Writer Scott McPherson died of AIDS in 1992, and if you look carefully at MARVIN'S ROOM you can see evidence of that specific disease in many aspects of the story: the personal relationships between the ill and their care-takers; the care-takers themselves becoming ill; the tension of familial disapproval. Fortunately, MARVIN'S ROOM isn't _about_ AIDS any more than it is _about_ any disease. It is about estrangement and reconciliation and family ties, and it covers this treacherous ground with as much comedy as sadness. There are some wonderful black-humored moments, including Aunt Ruth's pain-blocking device which also acts as a garage door opener and an absent-minded doctor (Robert DeNiro) who uses tourniquets as pants clips while riding his bicycle. Stage veteran Jerry Zaks does fine work with his rookie screen effort, and the gifted cinematographer Piotr Sobocinski (Krzysztof Kieslowski's RED) gives MARVIN'S ROOM a warm, comforting glow. The overall effect of the film is an unusual one for films of its kind: it draws you in without pouncing on you with over-wrought emotions.
The superb cast certainly deserves much of the credit for that success. Diane Keaton, who has been re-born with two great screen showcases in 1996 (this one and THE FIRST WIVES CLUB), radiates a basic decency as Bessie, but she is not painted in saintly tones. Bessie is not bitter at the hand life has dealt her; she is simply resentful that Lee left her to play it alone. She has a couple of fine moments with Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays a stock "troubled youth" role skillfully and without histrionics, as the two lonely souls find sympathy in one another. And of course there is Meryl Streep, an actress so talented it has become a sort of cinematic sport to mock her versatility. Here she plays Lee with an anger which drives her every action (though she does indulge in that well-work actor's crutch of acting with her cigarette on occasion), and she is convincing both in her early resistance to any overtures of good will and in her slow realization that she cares more about her sister than she realized. There is a particular grace to her honest portrayal of someone terribly uncomfortable with being around illness. In one perfectly pitched scene, she recoils at the sheer number of emergency numbers needed to care for her father, then slowly steels herself to helping with his medication because she knows at that moment that she is needed. The conflict between Bessie and Lee is presented with an ironic realization that each sister thinks the other one has gotten the better life, and both Keaton and Streep make the tearing down of that wall a moving experience.
There are certainly times when MARVIN'S ROOM feels hemmed in by its stage roots, and conversations build to an over-dramatized pitch. McPherson's script also over plays its comic relief card, particularly in the person of Dan Hedaya as a lithium-medicated receptionist who seems more appropriate to an episode of "Murphy Brown." DiCaprio's character also feels out of place occasionally, as though every time the story turned back to him it was in danger of losing its way. The relationship between the two sisters is the heart of MARVIN'S ROOM, and the other conflicts and relationships feel intrusive; the focus on DiCaprio makes you wonder why the character of the other brother (Hal Scardino, who spends nearly the entire film reading "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea") was included at all. But the important factor in MARVIN'S ROOM is that these people don't get together for the express purpose of watching one of them die. Living is more interesting -- and more complicated -- than dying, and McPherson created a work which recognizes that fact. You don't have to have a funeral to touch real emotions.

Antifa protesters crash Proud Boys rally near Trump Tower
by Olivia Bensimon and Ben CohnA rally by 25 far-right Proud Boys was crashed by 300 protesters in Manhattan Saturday — and the two groups spent an hour hollering at each other across Fifth Avenue near Trump Tower.
The Proud Boys had planned a rally to voice their opposition to two of their members getting four-year prison sentences last month for pummeling leftist Antifa members during a 2018 brawl on the Upper East Side.
But Antifa members and other Proud Boy opponents found out about the rally plans, and counter-organized a larger shout-fest of their own.
“F–k fascists!” the Antifa side shouted. “Free the boys!” shouted the MAGA-hat-topped Proud Boys.
“The KKK and the Neo-Nazis are being unleashed by Grand Wizard Trump and his Christian-fascist sidekick Pence,” a man in black who stood with the lefty side shouted at one point.
The groups, who were monitored by the NYPD, dispersed without any apparent violence by 3 p.m.

Overview
Taiwan has a population of roughly 23 million people and a land area of around 35,980 km2. Mandarin Chinese is the country’s main language, but in rural villages, Taiwanese, Hakka, and the languages of minority ethnicities are also spoken. After the Vietnam War era, Taiwan underwent rapid economic growth with the expansion of technological capabilities and industrial production capacity. The government is now involved in preparing the infrastructure for and promoting the development of next-generation industries
Economy
Taiwan is strong in electronics related businesses, including electronic equipment and parts manufacturing and software development. It is not an exaggeration to say that, in recent years, Taiwan has contributed greatly to advances in both computer and mobile phone technologies.
Cost of Living
Taiwan’s currency is the New Taiwan Dollar(NT$). As for prices, it is possible to cover cost of food with about NT$10,000 a month even if you mostly eat out. Daily goods are available at reasonable prices, so long as they are not luxury or imported items.
Climate
Taiwan straddles the Tropic of Cancer and the northern and central regions are sub-tropical, while the southern region is tropical. Taiwan does not have four distinct seasons, so rather it feels as though having a long summer and a short winter throughout a year. The most characteristic feature of the climate is typhoons. Generally, the best and most comfortable seasons are from March to May and October to December.
Public Safety
In urban areas, many places stay open late, including convenience stores and food stands, and there are usually people out walking around until very late at night. In agricultural areas, villages populated by big extended families still exist, and people there live peaceful lives that seem like something out of a bygone era.
Housing
In Taipei, prices are generally low, so you might expect that housing prices would also be low. However, housing actually tends to be expensive, with furnished one-room apartments costing from NT$8,000 to NT$20,000. There are areas where a lot of foreign residents live, but the rent is higher in those areas than other areas.
Food
Many reasonably priced food stands and restaurants keep late hours, and so they are bustling deep into the night. One of the charms of Taiwan is the ability to enjoy many types of delicious food at inexpensive prices.
Public Transportation
In Taipei and Kaohsiung, the main means of public transportation is the Metro (known as the MRT) and its stations sell tickets with embedded IC chips. High-speed rail is the main means of travel between cities, and convenient mid and long distance passes are sold.
Working Hours
There are significant differences depending on one’s occupation or business, but work hours are generally from 9 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with one hour lunch time, and many companies give employees Saturdays and Sundays off.
Tips
Although tipping is usually not required, there are exceptions if you request a special favor or have someone carry your luggage at a hotel.


thAllowNullText
While developing Thymeleaf templates, it's quite easy to unintentionally define expressions that can't be resolved or that resolve to null and when developing with Thymol, it can sometimes be difficult to identify where such problems are occurring.
In the event that Thymol encounters a "th:text" attribute that resolves to null, by default Thymol will proceed regardless. However, if you set the value of the "thAllowNullText" flag to false, Thymol will raise a window alert whenever this happens.

6 May 2009 - On 15 April 2009, The Ministry of Health (MoH), Liberia reported one laboratory-confirmed case of yellow fever in Luyeama town, Zorzor District. The case was identified through regular yellow fever surveillance in Lofa County.
The index case was a 32 year-old man who presented with fever and jaundice which began on 28 February 2009. On 28 March, the patient went to the Tellewoyan Hospital in Voinjama City, Lofa County where the clinical diagnosis of yellow fever was made.
The case was laboratory-confirmed by the Pasteur Institute in Dakar, Senegal. During the outbreak investigation, 9 serum samples of suspected cases and “contacts” were collected. No additional yellow fever cases have been identified.
The MoH has planned to vaccinate the districts of Zorzor and Voinjama, with a target population of 96,169. The country has requested yellow fever vaccines from the GAVI funded Global Emergency Stockpile for Yellow Fever Vaccine, managed by the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision for Yellow Fever Control (YF-ICG).

s_document_device¶
-
s_document_device.
document
(session, command_list_name, folder_per_device, prompt_create_dirs=True)¶ This function captures the output of the provided commands and writes them to files. This is separated into a separate function so it can be called by both the single-device and multi-device version of this script.
Parameters: - session (sessions.Session) – A subclass of the sessions.Session object that represents this particular script session (either SecureCRTSession or DirectSession)
- command_list (list) – A list of commands that will be sent to the connected device. Each output will be saved to a different file.
- output_dir (str) – The full path to the directory where the output files are written.
- folder_per_device (bool) – A boolean that if true will create a separate folder for each device
Returns:
-
s_document_device.
script_main
(session)¶ -
This script will grab the output for a list of commands from the connected device. The list of commands is taken from the ‘settings/settings.ini’ file. There is a separate list for each supported network operating system (IOS, NXOS and ASA) and by default the list that matches the network operating system of the connected device will be used.
Custom lists of commands are supported. These lists can be added manually to the [document_device] section of the ‘settings/settings.ini’ file. To be able to choose one of these lists when running the script, the ‘prompt_for_custom_lists’ setting needs to be changed to ‘True’ in the settings.ini file. Once this option is enabled, the script will prompt for the name of the list that you want to use. If the input is left blank then the default behavior (based on network OS) will choose the list.
Script Settings (found in settings/settings.ini):
- show_instructions - When True, displays a pop-up upon launching the scriptexplaining where to modify the list of commands sent to devices. This window alsoprompts the user if they want to continue seeing this message. If not, the scriptchanges this setting to False.
- folder_per_device - If True, Creates a folder for each device, based on thehostname, and saves all files inside that folder WITHOUT the hostname in the outputfile names. If False, it saves all the files directly into the output folder fromthe global settings and includes the hostname in each individual filename.
- prompt_for_custom_lists - When set to True, the script will prompt the user totype the name of a list of commands to use with the connected device. This listname must be found as an option in the [document_device] section of thesettings.ini file. The format is the same as the default network OS lists, ‘ios’,‘nxos’, etc.
- ios - The list of commands that will be run on IOS devices
- nxos - The list of commands that will be run on NXOS devices
- asa - The list of commands that will be run on ASA devices
Any additional options found in this section would be custom added by the user and are expected to be lists of commands for use with the ‘prompt_for_custom_lists’ setting.
By default, The outputs will be saved in a folder named after the hostname of the device, with each output file being saved inside that directory. This behavior can be changed in the settings above.
Parameters: session (sessions.Session) – A subclass of the sessions.Session object that represents this particular script session (either SecureCRTSession or DirectSession)

A beehive is an enclosed structure in which some honey bee species live and raise their
young.
In this problem we consider a two-dimensional sketch of the beehives.
Each
beehive is composed of a certain number of cells, where each cell is a regular hexagon.
Each cell may have some neighbors, which are other cells that share a side with that cell.
A cell with exactly 6 neighbors is an internal cell, while a cell with fewer neighbors is an
external one.
Notice that an external cell can always be changed to internal by adding
some neighbor cells.
We are interested in a particular class of beehives.
This class of valid beehives is defined
recursively as follows:
a) a single cell is a valid beehive;
and b) given a valid beehive B,
if we add the minimum number of cells such that each external cell of B becomes an
internal cell,
the result is a valid beehive.
The number of cells in a valid beehive is called a beehive number.
Given an integer N ,
you must decide whether it is a beehive number.
Each test case is described using a single line.
The line contains an integer N (1 ≤ N ≤
109 ).
The end of input is indicated with a line containing a single −1.
For each test case, output a single line containing an uppercase “Y” if N is a beehive
number,
or an uppercase “N” otherwise.
Input:
43

Output:

Well a few days ago, I was bored after school, and walked down to Thriftway.
I had promised my friends I wouldn't do any more DXM, which I had been doing fairly regularly, and I didn't have any vicodin or codeine left. I was looking at the small selection of over the counter drugs I could buy, and I noticed some sleeping aids called 'NySol.' I looked at the ingredient, diphenhydramine. I hadn't heard of this before, and its was only five dollars, so I got it.
When I got home I checked up on Nysol online and after reading one review from someone who had had 600 mg. and they said it was like acid. I had wanted to try acid, and I figured if someone got away with 600 mg I could take 300 no problem. So after I downed them all I got on the computer and started talking to some friends.
I was about to give up on anything cool happening (or even feeling sleepy) when the computer screen started to blur and one of my speakers started to shift around like a mirage. I got offline, and was still feeling pretty sober, but decided since the trip, weak as it was, had started, to lay down on my bed and listen to some Coldplay. Things got weird. When I tapped my finger on my bed it seemed the blanket seemed to ripple. It occured to me at the time that I was seeing static electricity, though now I'm sure that it wasn't the case. I stared at my carpet and lines began shooting up from it.  I was very scared, because I honestly thought it was alive and I had never had any full blown hallucinations before.
After a while I saw all kinds of macroinvertebrates crawling all about. I wanted it to stop, now I was getting very frightened. I went downstairs and talked to my brother for a minute, but I didn't make any sense. He told me something, I dont remember what, but I said 'I had a feeling you would want some M&M's.' Later on that evening one of my friends called, and I was trying to act sober, but whenever he said something, I would try and focus on a response but my mind jumped so rapidly from subject to subject that there was no fooling him. I don't remember what he asked, but I started rambling about the school gymnasium. He asked what the hell I was talking about, and then asked if I was high. I said yes and told him on sleeping pills, and he said he was worried about me. I left eventually and continued to fearfully hallucinate
Approximately two hours into the trip, a telemarketer called. I picked up and he asked to speak to my mother. While I was about to answer my dad picked up and told the telemarketer to go away. I hung up and my mom asked who had called. I tried to answer but I had already forgotten. It occured to me that it had been someone from the library, telling me I had overdue books. Then I remembered who it had actually been and corrected myself. If she suspected anything of me she did not vocalize it.
 She was surprised I had gone to bed this early, but as she said she found a dinosaur on the floor and had it put it on my desk. I asked what she was talking about, and she said 'the little dinosaur. Who gave it to you?' I didn't know what she was talking about so I turned on my lamp and looked at what she held in her hand. It was a beanie baby a friend had given me for Christmas. 'Oh, that's a dragon' I told her. But it wasn't and she asked 'really?' I told her no, but that I fancied it was a dragon. She told me goodnight and left my room.
So much for 'sleeping pills' though, I woke up several times in the next few hours and had visions of my clock... don't ask me why. The next day I had mild auditory and visual hallucinations, but I was able to carry on conversations, thank God.
Anyway, this was my most frightening experience with any drug and I highly would reccomend that everyone NOT DO IT because it isn't chill. I thought I would like to see things too, but it's not cool, it's very scary actually. I have actually decided no more drugs of ANY kind because of this, which maybe be the only good thing that happened because of it.

{% extends "base.template.html" %} {% set title = "Phased reviews" %} {% set description = "Multi-phase review workflows by depending on other groups" %} {% block content %}
With advanced use of the conditions setting, you can set up reviews to be done in "phases", or happen in separate steps.
This is particularly useful if there are certain people that you don't want to bug until other parts of the review have been completed — either because their time is more valuable or because their area of review isn't necessary until other aspects have already been approved.
You can set this up by making groups depend on other groups. The
groups
variable comes with a set of convenient properties for
checking the state of other groups.
Important: Groups are evaluated in order, and the
groups
variable only contains the preceding groups when you write
conditions.
You can implement a "fallback" set of reviewers by placing the group last, and checking whether any of the previous groups have been activated (i.e. conditions met).
{% code "yaml" %}{% raw %} version: 3 groups: code: ... database: ... fallback: ... conditions: # this group is asked to review if no previous groups match this PR - "len(groups.active) == 0" # or "not groups.active" {% endraw %}{% endcode %} {% endblock %}

The Sovereign's birthday was first officially marked in the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1748, for King George II. Since then, the date of the King or Queen's birthday has been determined throughout the British Empire, and later the Commonwealth of Nations.
The date of the celebration today varies as adopted by each country and is generally set around the end of May or start of June, to coincide with a higher probability of fine weather in the Northern Hemisphere for outdoor ceremonies.
