Enjoy reading about the process by which Coopy came to existence and now flourishes!
Our final demo video:
Read more about Coopy below!
Our objective slowly changed over the course over the course of a few weeks, so the final product is a bit different than our initial anticipation.
To create a friendly autonomous system based off of the Lab 3 robot. We envision that our system will be able to play the game “red light / green light” with a person using visual and audio cues, as well as a remote control. The system will run off of a RPi Zero W, which will communicate, via bluetooth, with the “remote control” RPi 3.
Coopy is a bluetooth based system which links a robot to a remote control base station. The robot implements facial detection in order to properly orient itself with people. The images captured by the robot are then wireless streamed to the base station for viewing. The base station has a touchscreen and can be used to interact with the robot camera feed and driving system. From the base station, Coopy’s new friend has the option to view the video stream, initiate the friendship wobble, or steer Coopy around with a remote control.
Our initial designs were primarily focused on the behavioral and human interaction aspects of our robot.
Looking back at some projects from previous years, we found a number of them which had human interaction applications had somewhat impersonal designs.
We wanted a robot that could not only display certain behaviors, but also communicate those states in a way which is easily understandable -- and personable! -- to any user.
Initially, we took a lot of inspiration from Mira [2], a robot designed by Alonso Martinez to play peek-a-boo, and wanted to design something similarly simplistic and emotive, with many nuanced movements lending it personality.
We also referenced the movements of Barnaby Dixon’s puppets and the Blossom robot in trying to draw inspiration for natural movement from a robot.
Our final design of the Coopy system included:
We first checked to ensure that the camera was functional.
We did this with the python Picamera library [4], using the provided file recipes to display the images on a monitor. Initially, we set this up with the Raspberry Pi 0W, which we wanted to keep inside of the robot in order to have a smaller design.
This part did not make it onto our final project due to software requirement issues: the library necessary to run NeoPixels off of a Raspberry Pi necessitates Python 3, whereas the version of OpenCV we installed was for Python 2.
Facial detection was more important, so we opted not to use NeoPixels.
However, we were able to make cool things happen with them after following the tutorials online [9].
Because the GUI on the base station is the primary way the user interacts with Coopy, we wanted the GUI to be a reflection of Coopy’s personality. We wanted Coopy to be a warm and inviting robot friend, so we chose a simple but bright color scheme and design. The screens on the GUI menu were as follows:
Start screen: press start in order to navigate to the home screen.
Bluetooth was used as the primary means of communication between the different devices of our system.
We utilized the Bluedot Comm API [6] to streamline communication.
The API allows for character strings to be transmitted between a paired server and client.
In our initial design of the communication protocol, we attempted to transmit images over the bluetooth connection.
Unfortunately, Bluedot does not send entire strings, but rather terminal representations of those strings.
When sending entire images, the pixel arrays generated by OpenCV were reduced to a few entries concatenated by ellipses, resulting in over 90% of the information being lost in transmission.
We attempted to remedy this by decreasing the packet sizes and increasing the transmission rate.
This, however, resulted in an unforeseen consequence of randomly introducing erroneous characters into our transmissions.
We attempted to parse these characters out, but we found that these error characters would occasionally replace characters.
Having to perform error checking and failsafe measures to recover data slowed down our system to an almost inoperable rate.
We no longer use bluetooth to handle file transfers, instead opting for sockets.
We primarily use bluetooth now for simple single character strings which are sent between the server and the client.
Using the Bluedot callback functions, we are able to change the state of each device upon receiving a new character.
To properly run the Bluedot API, one must first pair the devices.
Bluedot provides a guide on pairing Raspberry Pi’s from the command line in its documentation.
We resorted to using sockets for file transfers after realizing it was impractical to do everything over bluetooth.
Upon a bluetooth connection between our devices, the server sends its wlan0 address to the client.
This address is then used for all future socket connections.
Every time we need to transmit a new image, the client sends a message to the server indicating it has a new image via bluetooth.
The client then opens a new socket and writes to the socket until it reaches the end of the file.
Once it has completed, it then switches to a waiting mode and closes the socket.
The server will then write the image locally and transmit via bluetooth to the client that it has finished writing.
The client then reverts back to a writing mode.
We initially attempted this by having separate processes write and display the images.
This occasionally caused timing issues when one process was not finished writing and the other attempted to read.
To resolve this, the writing and display of images were added to the data_received callback function in the server code.
Over the past few weeks, the vision of our project transitioned away from a facial detection and behavioral analysis project to more of a communication and synchronization project.
Our initial idea was to create a robot which could detect and remember new people.
The robot would then react differently to known users (as opposed to random passersby) through robot movement and neopixel LED arrays.
However, as we worked with facial detection, we realized that training our robot to detect individuals in such a limited time with a robot would be extremely difficult (if not impossible), especially as our camera feed became very slow.
In addition, we had envisioned spending more effort on the reactions and making them more realistic and personal; however, that changed as we ran out of time and realized that we needed to focus more on the communication aspects of the project.
It is very difficult to design a visually friendly robot on top of the technical challenges we took on, so one of them definitely had to be cut down.
However, during week 3 we changed our vision for the demo to be a robot who would recognize a face and have his cheeks change color because he’s happy to make a friend.
This was because we realized that functional camera and facial recognition was more important than Bluetooth and could still be a reasonable product.
While we didn’t make Coopy’s cheeks change colors due to different technical issues, we did have a reaction as a result to facial detection (ie.
trying to follow the face).
In this sense, we did successfully achieve our outlined results.
We were able to develop a two-way communication system which actively present facial detection information in real time. While this was a technical feat, we also developed a robot that won over the hearts of many of our peers -- thus succeeding in our quest of making a friendly and personable design.
If we had more time, we would have explored multiprocessing with facial detection and the video stream.
Although this would add synchronization challenges to our project, the benefits of increased efficiency and processor utilization could outweigh the costs of implementing multiprocessing.
Another area we were considering exploring were voice commands and user interactive games such as Red Light, Green Light.
Voice commands would require the implementation of speech recognition.
Red Light, Green Light would require that the robot be able to identify which person in its view is directing the game.
We also wanted to make Coopy much more personable.
Initially, we’d wanted to add NeoPixels to his cheeks, which would glow different colors and patterns to indicate an emotional response.
However, we weren’t able to do that with the software and time restrictions that we had.
Exploring the NeoPixels and additional mechanical movement would be a fun and interesting direction.
During the beginning of the lab, both Henri and Michael worked on the project’s synthesis and problem-solving together, often pair-programming.
As time constraints wore on the ability for both members of the team to come in at the same time (and necessitated rushing to finish), responsibilities were split based on who could come in more.
Henri focused more on the GUI and NeoPixels and worked some on the facial recognition, while Michael focused more on facial recognition and making the communication protocol between Pis work.
On the lab report, Henri and Michael wrote about the parts they worked the most on while collaborating on the general project-related sections and editing each other’s work.
Henri organized the information on the web page.
We used some components from lab that were exempt from our budget:
| Lab Components Used | Price |

The only files necessary to run the project are:
coopyServer.py, the server/base station code, and
coopyBot.py, the robot/image processing code
Please note, the devices must still be manually paired for bluetooth.

Caching¶
One important feature of stk
, which is often the source of unexpected
behaviour, is that it caches every molecule it creates. In addition,
every time the the user attempts to build or load the same molecule, the
cached copy is returned from memory. Here are some examples
# Example 1
bb1 = StructUnit('molecule1.mol')
bb1 # <StructUnit at 0x0012931>
bb2 = StructUnit('molecule1.mol')
bb2 # <StructUnit at 0x0012931>
bb1 is bb2 # True
# Example 2 - when picking a different functional group a new
# object will be created.
bb3 = StructUnit('molecule1.mol', 'amine')
bb3 # <StructUnit at 0x13131>
bb3 is bb1 # False
bb4 = StructUnit('molecule1.mol', 'aldehdye')
bb4 # <StructUnit at 0x243134>
bb3 is bb4 # False
# Example 3 - if the molecule has the same structure, even if
# the file is different, the cached object will be returned.
bb5 = StructUnit('same_struct_as_bb1.mol2')
bb6 = StructUnit('same_struct_as_bb1.mol2', 'amine')
bb7 = StructUnit('same_struct_as_bb1.mol2', 'aldehdye')
bb5 is bb1 and bb5 is bb2 # True
bb6 is bb3 # True
bb7 is bb4 # True
# Example 4 - each class has its own cache.
bb8 = StructUnit2('molecule1.mol')
bb9 = StructUnit3('molecule1.mol')
bb8 is bb1 # False
bb8 is bb9 # False
and with MacroMolecule
# Example 5 - using the same objects for initialization results
# in the same object being returned from the cache. Assembly step is
# skipped!
mmol1 = Cage([bb1, bb2], FourPlusSix()) # Slow, have to build.
mmol2 = Cage([bb1, bb2], FourPlusSix()) # Fast, returned from memory.
mmol1 is mmol2 # True
# Changing the topology will mean a new object is built.
mmol3 = Cage([bb1, bb2], FourPlusSix(A_alignments=[1, 0, 2, 1]))
mmol1 is mmol3 # False
The user has the option to turn the cache off and on through the
OPTIONS
variable.
OPTIONS['cache'] = False # Cache is off.
bb10 = StructUnit('molecele1.mol')
bb10 is bb1 # False
OPTIONS['cache'] = True # Cache is back on.
bb11 = StructUnit('molecule1.mol')
bb11 is bb1 # True
bb11 is bb10 # False


A new game automatically begins upon first loading the page.
Press any letter on your keyboard to guess if that letter is in the word. If it's in the word at least once, all instance of that letter will be revealed. If that letter is not in the word at all, you will lose one Wrong Guess counter. Either way, the letter will be added to the list of guessed letters, and you won't be penalized for pressing that same letter.
If you guess an incorrect letter 8 times, you lose the current round. If you successfully guess all letters in the word before making 8 incorrect guesses you instead will win the round.

It would be good if we had a Platoon Players list, like the friend list, so we could join the server that our platoon is playing and rank up the platoon faster :D
btw, thanks for the great work!

Without a massive request spam to battlelog server's it's not possible from our side.
This is a feature that must come from battlelog itself.
kurtextrem
I guess DICE will implement this. If not I'll create a plugin (or someone else, just need to fork my ext. friends list plugin)

I really don't recommend to create a plugin for that.
If i think about 100 extra requests on a page visit i can cry :) It will freeze the browser for sure.

Actually there was a plugin which did it already but DICE "fixed it", people aren't intended to see other people playing unless you're friends.

That is bad... Would be a really great idea if you just could join a server with your platoon guys, but okay :/
DarkThanos
You can see if they are online or playing with one request on platoon's member tab, butyou cant see on which server.


public function drawPixels(objectToScreen:Matrix, renderTarget:BitmapData):void
Draw to a bitmap directly.
Parameters
| objectToScreen:Matrix — Transform from object space to renderTarget space.
|
| |
| renderTarget:BitmapData — Bitmap to which to draw.
|
public function isPixelPathActive(objectToScreen:Matrix):Boolean
In some cases, you want to fall back to normal displayObject
rendering. For instance, flipping might not be supported. If
this is the case, return false and the normal draw path will
be used.
Parameters
Returns


Welcome to League of Ability Power. Here we investigate what happens when Rito adds new items to the game. What changes? What champions are played? How does the meta change? Which items are useful and which are not? Scroll down to find out!
Made by Stephen Bahr and Raphael Baysa. Special thanks to Riot Games for the data and all images/videos that are used within this application!


Most common case is showing data from backend API and with ng-select this is extremely simple since you can bind directly to observable when using angular | async pipe
You can also set array of objects as items input
While array of objects is the most common items source, you may want to set simple array of strings, numbers, booleans
If you have simple use case, you can omit items array and bind options directly in html using ng-option component.

final
.
Using the final
variable makes code more error-prone. It may also be helpful for compiler optimisations
that make your program run faster.
A field may be safely made final
only if it has the private
access modifier
(or it is defined in a local / anonymous class) and:
static
and initialized either in its declaration or in one static class initializer.

What is this code all about?
I claim data science is about science; i.e. it is about
a community carefully curating and improving a collecting of idea. So, in my view, it is not
enough to merely make conclusions. Rather, those conclusions need to be monitoried and updated (when appropriate).
So LURE implements the following set of operators that I say need to be part of any data mining toolkit that supports
science.
THere is no claim here of completeness of these tools.
You should be very critical of the technical
choices I made in that implementation. What simplifications did I
make? What better technologies should I use? What did I overlook?
If you think you can handle the above in (e.g.)
TensorFlow
or Torch or using 100 other methods, I would
lean forward and say "yes? really? show me how".
Comprehension:
- Something we can read, argue with
- Essential for communities critiquing ideas. If the only person reading a model is a carburetor, then we can expect little push back. But if your models are about policies that humans have to implement, then I take it as axiomatic that humans will want to read and critique the models.
Fast:
- Not a CPU hog
- Reproducing and improving an old ideas means that you can reproduce that old result. Also, certifying that new ideas often means multiple runs over many sub-samples of the data. Such reproducibility and certification is impractical when such reproduction is impractically slow
Light:
- Small memory footprint
- Again, reproducing an old data mining experiment or certifying a new result means that the resources required for reproduction are not exorbitant.
Goal-aware:
- Different goals means different models. AND multiple goals = no problem!
- This is important since most data miners build models that optimizer for a single goal (e.g. minimize error or least-square error) yet business users often want their data miners to achieve many goals.
Humble :
- Can publish succinct certification envelope (so we know when not to trust)
- Delivered data mined models should be able to recognize when new data is out-of-scope of anything they've seen before. This means, at runtime, having access to the data used to build that model. Note that phrase succinct here: certification envelopes cannot include all the data relating to a model, otherwise every hard drive in the world will soon fill up.
Privacy-aware:
- Can hide an individual's data
- This is essential when sharing a certification envelope
Shareable:
- Knows how to transfer models, data, between contexts.
- Such transfer usually requires some transformation of the source data to the target data.
Context-aware:
- Knows that local parts of data generate different models.
- While general principles are good, so too is how to handle particular contexts. For example, in general, exercise is good for maintaining healthy. However, in the particular context of patients who have just had cardiac surgery, then that general principle has to be carefully tailored to particular patients.
ideas need to be updated.
Self-tuning:
- And can do it quickly
- Many experiments show that we can't just use data miners off-the-shelf. Rather, if their control parameters are tuned, then we can get much better data mining results.
Anomaly-aware:
- Can detect when new inputs differ from old training data
- This is the trigger for when old
Incremental:
- Can update old models with new data
- Anomaly detectors tell us something has to change. Incremental learners tell us what to change.

RNA Secondary Structure
Problem1
We have bases of {A,C,G,T} in DNA sequence, where A-T and C-G form a pair. A sinlge strand of RNA will loop back, resulting shape called secondary structure.
Let $B = b_1b_2 … b_n$, where $b_i$ = {A,C,G,U} also A-U, C-G form pair
Then the Secondary structure, S ={(i, j)}
- no sharp turn, i < j - 4
- pair is either {A,U}, {C,G} (either order)
- no base appear in more than 1 matching
- no crossing condition, (i,j) and (k, l) $\in$ S, we can’t have i < k < j < l
Algorithm
Following the same analysis
- OPT(j) = the maximum number of base pairs in a secondary structure on $b_1b_2 … b_j$.
- OPT(j) = 0 for j $\leq$ 5
The above rules (constraints) make the recurrent relationship
- j is not involved in a pair
- j pairs with t for some t < j − 4
Then we split the problem into two cases due to noncrosing constriant (no pair form between first part and second part)
- from 1 to t - 1 using OPT(t − 1)
- from t + 1 to j - 1 which is not considered by our OPT
This push our OPT take take another paramter i, so OPT(i,j) = maximum number of base pairs in a secondary structure on $b_ib_{i+1} … b_j$.
Therefore, OPT(i, j) = max(OPT(i, j − 1), max(1 + OPT(i, t − 1) + OPT(t + 1, j − 1))) （6.13).
- Initialize OPT(i,j)=0 whenever i≥j−4
- For k=5, 6,…,n−1
- For i=1,2,…n−k
- Set j=i+k
- Compute OPT(i, j) using the recurrence in (6.13)
- Endfor
- For i=1,2,…n−k
- Endfor Return OPT(1, n)
Analysis
There are $O(n^2)$ subproblems to solve, and evaluating the recurrence in (6.13) takes time O(n) for each. So overall $O(n^3)$.

TimeTree
Trying to figure out schedules for yourself is exhausting, let alone with new friends. TimeTree is the answer for that. It allows you to set up group calendars with your friends to properly schedule hangouts while keeping yourself on track with your classes and other obligations.
Yik Yak
Picture an anonymous Twitter made up solely of people from your campus. That’s Yik Yak, a great place to post memes, incoherent stream-of-consciousness style thoughts and about events on campus (who knows, maybe you’ll find some fun events through it). Although it may keep you distracted from studying for several minutes (maybe hours), it's ultimately a great way to take a quick study break or pass some free time in a fun way.
Quizlet
Okay, you probably used this throughout high school, but trust me when I say that this app is still saving lives in college. The study app has made my life infinitely easier for many of my gen-ed classes and classes that involve memorization.
 Everything from your walks to class, the dining hall or Court Street is going to rack up steps really quickly. So, why not put those steps to a good cause? Enter Treecard, an app that tracks your steps and plants a tree for every 10,000 you take.
Slack
The best way to describe Slack is as a digital workspace akin to platforms like Discord. However, Slack is a much more professional platform, and will more than likely be the main form of communication for many of your on-campus professional organizations, as well as a potential form of communication for your post-grad jobs, so you might as well get a headstart and preemptively download it.
Venmo
In an increasingly cashless society, trying to split a bill or pay someone back is getting increasingly annoying. This is where Venmo comes in, a digital payment app that hooks up to your bank account and makes paying people back much, much easier.
Blackboard
All of your classes are going to have the notes, quizzes, tests and assignments posted on Blackboard, so it’s for the best to download it on your phone as soon as possible. And when the inevitable “Did I turn that assignment in?” question arises during a night out, you can check on the go.
GasBuddy
If you’re one of those lucky (or sometimes unlucky) freshmen with a car, gas becomes an incredibly annoying expense when you're spending more money than usual. However, GasBuddy makes it easier to save some money on gas by showing the price of gas at stations in your area, allowing you to find cheaper options that you might not have initially known about.

Dublin actor Andrew Scott among Theatre Awards nominees
Andrew Scott, Maggie Smith, Tom Hiddleston and Sheridan Smith are among the nominees at the Evening Standard’s Theatre Awards.
Productions including Downstate, Betrayal, Come From Away and Fiddler On The Roof will also be vying for top prizes at the annual ceremony, now in its 65th year.
Smith is nominated for the Natasha Richardson Award for best actress for her performance as Goebbels’ secretary in A German Life, competing against Hayley Atwell for Rosmersholm, Cecilia Noble for Downstate, Juliet Stevenson for The Doctor and Anjana Vasan for A Doll’s House.
Fleabag star Scott, who is from Dublin, will go up against previous best actor winner Hiddleston, who won for Coriolanus in 2014.
Hiddleston has been shortlisted again in the best actor category for his role in Betrayal, while Scott has received a nod for his performance in the gender-switched version of Noel Coward’s Present Laughter.
The pair are joined in the category by Downstate’s K. Todd Freeman and Francis Guinan, and Death Of A Salesman star Wendell Pierce.
Having made her musical theatre debut in Sweet Charity, Anne-Marie Duff is up for best musical performance against musical stalwart Sheridan Smith for Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Fiddler On The Roof actor Andy Nyman completes the nominations in the musical category.
Three female writers have been included on the shortlist for best play – Caryl Churchill for Glass. Kill. Bluebeard. Imp, Debbie Tucker Green for Ear For Ear and Lynn Nottage for Sweat.
Downstate, by Bruce Norris, is the fourth contender in the category.
Come From Away, Evita, Fiddler On The Roof and Sweet Charity have been nominated for the best musical prize.
There are also nods for Death Of A Salesman’s Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell in the best director category, against Robert Icke for The Doctor and Jamie Lloyd for Betrayal.
Honouring the stage stars of tomorrow, the emerging talent award shortlist is comprised of Shiloh Coke for Chiaroscuro, Laurie Kynaston for The Son, Grace Molony for The Watsons and Bobby Stallwood for Faith, Hope and Charity.
Evening Standard editor George Osborne said: “The London theatre scene continues to thrive and the Evening Standard Theatre Awards recognises and celebrates the talent from the rising stars of tomorrow to best directors and actresses.
“There have been so many incredible theatre performances this year and we look forward to the award ceremony to unveil the outstanding achievements.”
The Evening Standard Theatre Awards take place on Sunday November 24 at the London Coliseum and will be hosted by the newspaper’s proprietor Evgeny Lebedev and co-hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Damian Lewis, Helen McCrory and Cush Jumbo.

Part 4: Working with RDF
Previously we saw how to do basic validation of data using JSON-Schema.
This section demonstrates how to work with LinkML in conjunction with Linked Data/ RDF. If this is not of interest you can skip to the next section. However, even if this is the case you may wish to revisit this section. LinkML is intended to make it easy to get the benefits of Linked Data, while staying simple and working within a stack many developers are familiar with.
And even if you aren’t using RDF yourself, declaring URIs for your schema elements can help make your data FAIR, and in particular can serve as hooks to interoperate data!
Example schema
Let’s start with the schema we developed in the previous section, with some minor modifications:
personinfo.yaml:
id: https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo
name: personinfo
prefixes:
linkml: https://w3id.org/linkml/
personinfo: https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/
ORCID: https://orcid.org/
default_curi_maps:
- semweb_context
imports:
- linkml:types
default_prefix: personinfo
default_range: string
classes:
Person:
attributes:
id:
identifier: true
full_name:
required: true
description:
name of the person
aliases:
multivalued: true
description:
other names for the person
phone:
pattern: "^[\\d\\(\\)\\-]+$"
age:
range: integer
minimum_value: 0
maximum_value: 200
Container:
attributes:
persons:
multivalued: true
inlined_as_list: true
range: Person
We extended the previous schema in a few ways:
we included a prefix declaration for the ORCID IDs in our data records
we included an import of standard semantic web prefixes from
semweb_context
We will use this schema with a collection of data records
data.yaml:
persons:
- id: ORCID:1234
full_name: Clark Kent
age: 33
phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>
- id: ORCID:4567
full_name: Lois Lane
age: 34
We can use the linkml conversion library to translate this to RDF (Turtle syntax default)
linkml-convert -s personinfo.yaml -t rdf data.yaml
Outputs:
@prefix ns1: <https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
<https://orcid.org/1234> a ns1:Person ;
ns1:age 33 ;
ns1:full_name "Clark Kent" ;
ns1:phone "555-555-5555" .
<https://orcid.org/4567> a ns1:Person ;
ns1:age 34 ;
ns1:full_name "Lois Lane" .
[] a ns1:Container ;
ns1:persons <https://orcid.org/1234>,
<https://orcid.org/4567> .
This is a start, but it is not ideal - there are existing vocabularies such as schema.org we could be reusing.
Adding URIs to our schema
Let’s enhance our schema, using two schema slots:
class_uri: to declare a URI/IRI for a class
slot_uri: the same thing for a slot
In both cases, we provide the value as a CURIE, and include a prefixes map that maps CURIEs to URIs.
personinfo-semantic.yaml:
id: https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo
name: personinfo
prefixes: ## Note are adding 3 new ones here
linkml: https://w3id.org/linkml/
schema: http://schema.org/
personinfo: https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/
ORCID: https://orcid.org/
imports:
- linkml:types
default_curi_maps:
- semweb_context
default_prefix: personinfo
default_range: string
classes:
Person:
class_uri: schema:Person ## reuse schema.org vocabulary
attributes:
id:
identifier: true
full_name:
required: true
description:
name of the person
slot_uri: schema:name ## reuse schema.org vocabulary
aliases:
multivalued: true
description:
other names for the person
phone:
pattern: "^[\\d\\(\\)\\-]+$"
slot_uri: schema:telephone ## reuse schema.org vocabulary
age:
range: integer
minimum_value: 0
maximum_value: 200
id_prefixes:
- ORCID
Container:
attributes:
persons:
multivalued: true
inlined_as_list: true
range: Person
Now let’s try converting the same YAML/JSON using the enhanced schema
linkml-convert -s personinfo-semantic.yaml -t rdf data.yaml
Outputs:
@prefix ns1: <http://schema.org/> .
@prefix ns2: <https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/> .
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
<https://orcid.org/1234> a ns1:Person ;
ns1:name "Clark Kent" ;
ns1:telephone "555-555-5555" ;
ns2:age 33 .
<https://orcid.org/4567> a ns1:Person ;
ns1:name "Lois Lane" ;
ns2:age 34 .
[] a ns2:Container ;
ns2:persons <https://orcid.org/1234>,
<https://orcid.org/4567> .
Note that the prefixes are hidden but the effect is to reuse URIs such as schema:telephone
JSON-LD contexts
You can also generate JSON-LD context files that can be used to add semantics to JSON documents:
gen-jsonld-context --no-metadata personinfo-semantic.yaml
Outputs:
{
"@context": {
"ORCID": "https://orcid.org/",
"linkml": "https://w3id.org/linkml/",
"personinfo": "https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/",
"schema": "http://schema.org/",
"@vocab": "https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/",
"persons": {
"@type": "@id"
},
"age": {
"@type": "xsd:integer"
},
"full_name": {
"@id": "schema:name"
},
"id": "@id",
"phone": {
"@id": "schema:telephone"
},
"Person": {
"@id": "schema:Person"
}
}
}
NOTE: currently you need to declare your own type object and map this to rdf:type
for typing information to be shown
Using Shape Languages
In the previous section we saw how to use JSON-Schema validators. LinkML also allows the use of ShEx (future versions will allow SPARQL)
gen-shex --no-metadata personinfo-semantic.yaml
Outputs:
BASE <https://w3id.org/linkml/examples/personinfo/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>

(plant material) |
I hadn't smoked weed in well over 2 years when I decided one night to take a friend up on an offer to get high and go to the school's homecoming football game. We acquired a dugout and a one-hitter from a friend and proceeded to smoke approximately 7 hits each.
Initially I was dissapointed that I wasn't feeling the effects at all, and began to think that maybe what we had smoked hadn't been weed at all, and that I wasn't going to feel anything that night. On the car ride to the school, I began to feel very relaxed, and out of body, almost. As I looked out the window nothing seemed quite real. I decided then that I didn't want to go to the game, and instead would prefer to sit at home and study the wonderful effects I was feeling.
I noticed as I walked that my limbs seemed to be working completely under their own control. As I walked my legs felt as if they were controlling themselves, and there seemed to be a very powerful force pulling me around. If I would lean heavily to one side, the force would pull me back, as if I literally could not fall over, the force would not allow it. The night was wonderful. As I typed on the keyboard, my hands seemed to float, and perfectly coherant sentences would turn into incessant ramblings, or just random letters being mashed. Yet they all seemed to make sense.
Since that night I have not been able to replicate that high. I have also not been able to get my hands on anything better than shwag. I am wondering if the weed that I smoked that night was possibly KB, but I have no clue. All I know is that every high I have had since that night has been a let-down, and I long for the wonderful feeling that was present that evening. I will continute to attempt to locate some high quality weed, and attempt to replicate that nights high. If all goes well, chances are I will become a 'pothead,' but would it really be so bad? =)

2019 note: You absolutely do not need to use redux. It may be useful to you, it may not be. The most important thing is that you reason about state in the right way. You keep state local where it makes sense, elevate it when necessary, and build composable applications. What library you use for that (if you choose to use one at all — which I do not anymore) is second to the way in which you structure your state.
You may have heard advice that you might not need redux. If you’re new to redux (or other flux implementations, I’m being opinionated here), this might seem like comforting advice. There’s a lot of good truth to it too — for very simple apps you don’t need it and you shouldn’t use it.
For example say you’re writing a Blog. You don’t want comments (if I want that kind of abuse I’ll just get on Twitter) — just raw text, images, and headings. Pretty simple. We don’t need flux for that. We probably don’t even need React for that.
But me? I’m a developer which means I don’t realize how difficult a problem is until I’ve finished a pack of redbull and filled up a whiteboard — at which point I lean over to my friend and say “huh, I guess this is nontrivial."
Do you think there’s a chance your application is going to grow to a point where you will want redux? If so, don’t wait — do it right now.
Why?
I can’t express how true this was for me. For example, I’ll pretend we’re writing a text editor. (As an aside — can we just agree for a moment that writing your own text editor for your project is a terrible idea? Please trust me on this one… I don’t think I have the room here to go into it).
So, I think my text editor is definitely going to need redux at some point, but screw it, I’m already over my head and I don’t need that right now. I might decide to have 3 types of components.
Document:
{
sections: []
}
Section:
{
id: 1,
type: ‘text’,
title: ‘Heading’,
selectedLine: 1,
lines: []
}
Line:
{
id: 1,
type: ‘text’,
content: ‘The assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold’
}
Three separate components all controlling their own states. This all makes sense on the surface (ignoring the inherit complexities of the problem space). For instance, if I wanted to change the text in a line, then I would only need to control the content of that Line
component. The section would not have to know about the state of the line. Similarly a section would only care about the lines it had, but not what was in the lines. We could move a line around in a section, or between sections without knowing the content.
The issue though, is that we end up solving weird problems we don’t really need to be solving. For instance, imagine deleting a line. We’ll need to remove it from the section’s array, but also merge its content with the line before it. And then if it’s the first line in a section we’ll need to merge it to the previous section. With our current state, we might start writing this function…
// Section component that owns statedeleteLine = (id, content) => {
const lines = [ …this.state.lines]
const index = this.state.lines.findIndex(line => line.id === id);
const lineToUpdate = Object.assign(this.state.lines[index - 1], {});
// wait how do I tell it to update? refs? some prop?
lineToUpdate.someProp = content;
lines[index - 1] = lineToUpdate;
// uh maybe this is wrong.
So you see the complexity here? All because we thought about our state “reasonably". But when we move to redux, our entire document is in our store and no component will controls its own state. So this problem we spent an hour solving (okay maybe l spent more than that), ends up being trivial. We just dispatch an action like:
// DocumentActions.js
const DeleteLine = (sectionId, lineId, content) => {
return({ type: ‘DELETE’, sectionId, lineId, content });
}// DocumentReducer.js
case ‘DELETE’:
const section = state.document.sections[sectionId];
const lineToDelete = section.lines[lineId];
const index = section.lines.findIndex(id => id === lineId);
// now we know what we need to know. We can account for it being
// the first line in the section. Or the first line in the
// document. We have all the information.
So that problem we spent so much time solving? It’s not really something we need to solve at all. We spent time and cognitive space on a solution that we end up not having with redux. This is also known as wasting time :)
* I realize now that maybe a more accurate title for my heading might be “It changes the way we reason about changing state"
This is a pretty simple one. When you lift state out of components, it makes you question whether they really need to extend Component
at all. Maybe they can just be pure functional components? For example, a header with a text input to search the content of our current screen — we might consider this to be a part of the component itself before redux. I mean it’s modifying the list in our state right?
class SomeComponent extends Component {state = {
list: []
}filterList = () => { …modify the results }render() {
return (
…rest of the component
);
}
But when we change to redux we could filter our list through the store if we wanted. This means we could move our header component into some other file where it takes the filtering method as a prop. From my experience, this decomposition has a snowball effect. Once you remove one set of methods and rendering, you start to realize that other “integral" parts of the component, turn out to be their own little reusable sections. A TextInput
that filters the results in one part of your application can actually filter any list in your application.
A lot of this is more trivial than reasoning about state. You’re not wasting as much time by moving stuff around, but you’re still rethinking your decisions earlier once the components move to redux. You skip this “rethinking" by reduxifying your app earlier. While I’m a fan of rewriting, and rewriting often, it all still needs to be headed in the right direction. Redux connects ideas that you didn’t see as connected before. (get it guys? connect
?)
This one is pretty straightforward. It’s the reason you don’t want to use redux in the first place. I’m actually agreeing with you. If you’ve never used it before, redux is complicated. Learning it — like learning many things — is painful. You are wrong, and you have to rewrite, but then you’re wrong again. It’s a different way of thinking.
But trust me, make the switch now. Just dive in and start working through the problems. It will be hard. You will probably be faster writing components in a more familiar way, especially if you’re coming from a different framework like MVC. But in the end, you will love it.
The jump is worth it.
You know you want to right? Just go for it.


I would rate my morning glory experience as just Ok.
First, I went and purchaced 7 packs of the seed. I could only find one pack of the heavenly blue variety so I also went with pearly gates a flying saucers. First I washed off 5 packs of seeds thinking that 7 may be too much for my first time trying this. I used bottled drinking water and some dish detergent. After rising them thoroughly, I put them in some paper towels and let them dry for later use.
I have done quite a few hallucingenics including mushrooms and acid. I prepared my mind to have a good experience with a hopefull self revelations (which I have usually gained from similar experiences in the past)
Later on in the evening I decided to eat the morning glory seeds. Not having the proper materials to perform the extraction, I just ate them as they were. This was definately the worst part of the process. After eating about fourty of the seeds, I decided to put them in some food because I could not take the texture and crunch in my mouth anymore (the taste was not bad, actually kind of tasteless). As I chewed the food I made sure to crunch up the seeds as much as possible.
By the time I was finished doing all of this (about and hour) I was already starting to feel a bit funny. My vision became a bit smokey, as if the had a soft white light in it. I did not get natious or have any stomache or leg pains. The closest I came to a sick feeling was feeling extremely full. If someone would have sat on my stomache, the food and seeds would have come right up. I smoked some of the good stuff and this feeling went away and my trip was brought on.
In comparison to acid, this trip was very mild. I did not get many visuals, just a few tracers and rainbows off the tv and anything lit up. My mind felt fine. I acutally expected more to happen from reading the experiences of others. It took around two hours for my trip to bring itself on after I ate the seeds at 10 pm. I did not feel like doing anything except for lying on the couch. The seeds made me feel tired even though I was tripping. I stayed up until around 3 am. My tripped did not dull whatsoever durring this time. I went to bed and was able to meditiate and fall right to sleep. I had no dreams that I recollect. When I woke up, I still felt like I was tripping. Not as much as before I went to bed, but the feeling definately still was there and my vision was hazy till around 3 pm the that evening. I felt a bit warn out but otherwise just fine,
It really felt like low grade LSD, but without much mental stimulation. Physically my body felt tingly and worn down. Overall the experience to me was not really great but was definatley not bad. I probably could have used a larger dose. An interesting thing was that the taste in my mouth. Not the taste of the seeds but the taste during my trip. It was the same taste as acid gives my mouth while I trip.
If I was to try this again, I will probably go with the extraction method. Eating the seeds was not fun and just thinking about that is enought to deter me from wanting to do it again right away.

Using Git Effectively
Using git effectively can be a challenge for a lot of people. I'm going to run through a quick tutorial on how I like to use Git to segment my changes, manage my branches, and merge my code.
Basic command tips
Here are the basic Git commands that I use over and over throughout the day
# Adds all new files to the repository
git add -A
# commit -am means "commit all files with the following message"
# Messages are required in Git commits
git commit -am 'my new changes!'
# Push your changes
git push remote_name branch_name
# Pull the latest code
git pull remote_name branch_name
# Switches branches
git checkout my_branch
# Creates a new branch called "branch", and switches into that branch
git checkout -b branch
# Merges the specified branch into the current branch
git merge other_branch
### Segment Changes
Seriously, if you work on an application that already has a user base, segmenting changes is so, so important. Let's say your on the master branch and you would like to implement two new features, a new login form, and a new dashboard. Put these changes into separate branches. Here's how.
# On master
# creates a new branch called login and moves into that branch
git checkout -b login
# Now make the new login page, and commit your changes
git commit -am 'new login page'
# Great job, now let's make the new dashboard
# Switch back to master
git checkout master
# Now make another copy of the master branch, and switch into it
git checkout -b dashboard
# Make the new dashboard, and commit your changes
git commit -am 'new dashboard!'
# Now you have three branches: master, dashboard, and login
# When your code has been tested and/or looked over, you can merge
git checkout master
git merge dashboard
git merge login
See how clean and easy it was to make changes in separate branches, and then merge them when we're ready.
Managing branches & merging
If you are working on applications that can't break, you probably have a staging environment set up for them. If you have a staging environment, you probably have three different remote git repositories, origin (on github.com), staging, and production, or something to that effect. When I have to make changes here is what I like to do.
# From branch master
git checkout -b my_change
# Do work & commit
git commit -am 'did work'
# Make a staging branch from the my_change branch
git checkout -b staging
# Push to the staging branch to the master branch on the staging server
git push staging staging:master
# Now that we're sure everything works
git checkout master
# Merge either the whole staging branch,
# or if you have multiple changes, merge
# them one by one.
git merge staging
# OR
git merge my_change


General Advice
Before you begin exploring the various types of problematic behaviors on teams, let’s explore five pieces of general advice for dealing with any kind of team behavior problem.
Go To The General Advice Presentation
The Free-Rider
Free-Riders on project teams are also known as “free-loaders” or “hitchhikers”. Free-Riders do not contribute their fair share of effort to the project. They are known as “Free-Riders” because they receive the same grade as the rest of the team without actually earning it.
Free-Riders are perhaps the most common source of frustration on student project teams. Researchers estimate that over 65% of college students have dealt with Free-Riders on group assignments.
Go To Free-Rider Presentation
The Dictator
Let’s now look at the Dictator. On project teams, dictators strongly impose their ideas on other team members, using criticism and personal attacks to push the team in a particular direction. According to researchers, the Dictator is the second most frustrating behavior type on group projects.
Go To The Dictator Presentation
The Closet Dictator
The Closet Dictator is a variant of the Dictator type. Closet Dictators also attempt to take control of group projects, but they do so behind the scenes. They change strategies, rewrite project reports, and alter presentation slides without consulting other team members. Sometimes their efforts result in a better grade, but more often Closet Dictators remove or revise critical material causing the final report or presentation to suffer.
Go To The Closet Dictator Presentation
The Do-It-All
Another variant on the Dictator and Closet Dictator type is the Do-It-All. Typically, a Do-It-All type assumes responsibility for most of the group project, conducts most of the research, and does almost all of the writing and editing.
Go To The Do-It-All Presentation
The Procrastinator
Probably the third most common frustration on project teams are Procrastinators. These are students who wait until the last minute to complete their portion of the project.
As a result, their contribution is either late or a poor quality rush job.
Go To The Procrastinator Presentation
The Socializer
One of the best things about group assignments is the social aspect of teamwork. The friendly banter, jokes, and support you get from teammates can energize the group and make the overall effort more enjoyable.
Socializers can however, take the social aspects of team work to extremes and ultimately hurt group productivity.
Go To The Socializer Presentation
The Poor Student
On any group project team members will often have varying levels of educational experience and ability. Some may be savvy researchers. Others may be strong writers. However, a team may have a weak performer or Poor Student.
 They work hard and do their best to contribute but a Poor Student lacks the ability to produce at the level of the other team members.
The Poor Student finds it difficult to understand key concepts or group assignments. After reading materials they struggle to identify the most relevant points for the project.
Sometimes, the Poor Students have good research skills but have trouble organizing information and writing.
Go To The Poor Student Presentation
The Quiet Student
The Quiet Student is often the most underutilized resource on a project team. Students who appear quiet may have outstanding insights and natural abilities. The best teams find ways to tap a Quiet Student’s creative energies effectively.
Quiet Students are shy in group situations. They are often reluctant to share their opinions during project meetings and prefer to listen intently while others do most of the talking. However, sometimes the Quiet Student is silent to hide a lack of preparation or motivation for the project.
Go To The Quiet Student Presentation
The Complainer
Students often complain about group projects. While a little complaining can help to relieve stress and reinforce social bonds, too much complaining can result in project delays and poor group work.
Complainers are team members who spend more time complaining about a project than doing it.
Complainers frequently begin by criticizing the professor's decision to assign a group project.
They are also bothered by the challenges of locating information, finding time to meet with teammates, and assembling the final product.
Even simple things like the weather, room temperature, and upcoming exams can be sources of their complaints.
However, Complainers fail to recognize the amount of time they waste discussing their issues during group meetings.

Flerken supports cross-platform obfuscation detection. Both Windows and Linux command line stings can be analyzed to check if there is any obfuscation.
We provide a default setting if you lack of information about which platform the tested string belongs to. Flerken can automatically recognize the likely platform and present this information in the results.
Flerken is adequate to distinguish most Windows/Linux command obfuscations. The effectiveness of Flerken is evaluated via representative black/white command samples.


[gecode-users] Operation of precede constraint on array of sets
Chris Mears
chris at cmears.id.au
Mon Nov 27 01:45:52 CET 2017
Hello Tim,
I think you might be misreading this version of the constraint. The
constraint means "if s and t are ever treated differently -- that is, if
there's a set where one of them is present but not the other -- then you'll
get a set with only s before you get any set with only t." So your example
satisfies the constraint because s and t are always either both present or
both absent.
Cheers,
Chris

A less obvious question is "How can the cloud help me reduce compliance scope?". Data security is important but compliance requirements can drive up the cost of storing/transmitting that information on-premise.
PCI at Meredith
The consumer revenue group launched new product in 2014 to handle e-commerce internally.
- E-commerce site and order pages hosted on-premise
- Order submission and payment handling hosted in AWS
- No PCI data on-premise
- Avoids massive physical and logical security updates for on-premise systems
Elastic Compute
Web traffic and related compute workloads vary by:
- Season (particularly during the holidays)
- Day of the week
- Hour of the day
- Promotional activity
Auto Scaling Web Applications
This auto scaling workload uses roughly 60% of peak compute in the last 30 days or 30% of peak compute during holiday traffic.
Spot Instance Workloads
This auto scaling workload uses spot instances to further drive down costs. The cost is roughly 15% of peak capacity as on-demand compute.
Business Intelligence
Meredith is looking at elastic compute for enabling cost efficient analysis of our data lake.
- S3 provides a durable and cost efficient lake
- AWS EMR and Redshift automate complex infrastructure
- Healthy ecosystem of 3rd party offering for automation as well
Organizational Efficiency
- IT is complex and often times becomes complicated
- On-premise infrastructure tends to gravitate to "shared services"
- Agility and resiliency suffers
Automated Solutions
The AWS ecosystem presents opportunities to automate deep and complex infrastructure while minimizing cross team dependencies:
- AWS APIs and CloudFormation provide tools for automating any service or primitive
- AWS managed services (e.g. RDS, Elasticache, EMR) provide automated solutions that do not require deep technical expertise
Iterate on Architecture
These complex but manageable solutions allow quickly experimenting or iterating on the architectural level.
Challenges
Some notable challenges Meredith had to address during AWS adoption:
- Education! The AWS training and certification program has matured well and is a great resource
- Multi-region and multi-AZ thinking
- Extending our on-premise network to the cloud
- PCI requirements forced us to deploy custom proxies for egress HTTP filtering


How it works
HP MIDIFILE consists of a lot of functions to manipulate existing MIDI-files or to create new ones. The functions
operate on global attributes of the MIDI-file and on MIDI-events.
The data of a MIDI-file is internal organisized by an dynamic eventlist of MIDI-events which is sorted by time-stamps.
The function HP_ReadEvent reads the MIDI-events sequentially from the eventlist and delivers the time-stamp and a tag,
describing the type of the event.
We distinguish standard MIDI-events, SysEx-events, standard Meta-events and YAMAHA
meta-events, used with the formats XG and XF. For most events read-, insert- and change-functions are implemented.
Other functions allow to shift events, to transpose and quantisize notes, to select, copy and paste and to play the file.
The first action to be done is to initialize a MIDI-file session with the call HP_Init. The function returns a handle,
which now is the first parameter for all function-calls of this session. We can set up more than one session at the
same time and we can copy events from one session to another.
The next call will concern mostly the function HP_Load in order to load an existing MIDI-file of type SMF0 or SMF1.
But it is also possible to edit a new MIDI-file by entering all events needed without loading a MIDI-file before.
The creation of the target MIDI-file happens with the call of HP_Save. Here the formats SMF0 and SMF1 are allowed.
The session ends with a call of HP_Free, which destroys all data from memory.
Additional a set of functions is included to get texts from Instrument Definition Files of Cakewalk/Sonar.

Joining in with Ginny from Small Things.
Still knitting away on the Beyond Puerperium. I have finished the body, just deciding if I will do short or long sleeves, then some buttons need to be picked out.
I have some lovely Noro that I have recently added to my stash. I few weeks back, I thought I had lost Jairah's knitted hat and after searching for over a week, decided to buy some more yarn to make another. Can you guess where this is going? Of course, after buying the Noro (costs a small fortune over here), I found his hat. It had been put up on top of a cupboard and obviously I hadn't looked that high up! Anyway, now I need to find a project to use the two balls of Noro. Maybe another cowl? Not sure yet. May look at Ravelry for some inspiration.
As for reading. I finished The Kashmir Shawl, by Rosie Thomas. I can't say I loved the book, maybe liked? I found myself reading it, just to finish it. I think it had too much in the way of affairs outside of marriages for me to find the book captivating, more sad if anything. Anyway, I bought another book on Kindle this week, called Fields of Corn by Sarah Price. It's a good old Amish story, so should be quite a contrast from The Kashmir Shawl! I've only just started it, so haven't formed an opinion on it so far.
Can't wait to see what you have all been creating this week. Jacinta x


Mascara * * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Linda Kandel. Cast: Ione Skye, Lumi Cavazos, Amanda de Cadenet, Steve Jones, Steve Schub, Tara Subkoff, Corey Page, Karen Black. 1999 - 96 minutes. Rated R (for sex, nudity, and profanity). Reviewed July 20, 1999.
Three 30-year-old friends' search for their rightful place in life is the subject of director Linda Kandel's independent drama, "Mascara," an intelligently-written, if somewhat familiar, right-of-passage film. Movies about a group of young women and their exploits concerning love, career, and identity are a dime a dozen, and even if "Mascara" isn't one of the very best of the genre, it is also far from one of the worst, due to the apt way in which the characters are dealt with and developed.
Moving back and forth between the three women's plights, the film begins with a stylishly-edited sequence in which one of them, Laura (Lumi Cavazos), is about to get married to her beau, Donnie (Steve Schub). Laura is apprehensive and nervous, as many brides-to-be understandably are, but seven months later, we discover that Donnie has begun to cheat on her, and being the resolute woman that she is, Laura packs up and leaves him, moving back in with her possessive parents. Meanwhile, Jennifer (Amanda de Cadenet) is having troubles of her own. It seems that when her own husband was caught having a one-time affair, she let it slide but found herself emotionally dead inside. Together, they have a sweet, young daughter, but Jennifer begins to stray down a promiscuous path of her own, desperately attempting to find happiness with a collection of one-night-stands and alcohol. And Rebecca (Ione Skye), who moves from one job to the next, preferring to not stay at one place too long, has picked up with Nick (Steve Jones), an older man with two children: Daphne (Tara Subkoff), a slutty teenager whom Nick seems just a tad too infatuated with, and Andrew (Corey Page), a college student who is rarely at home and, thus, when Rebecca begins a relationship with him as well, she doesn't know he is Nick's son.
The title, "Mascara," I think, has less to do with the make-up than as a metaphor for the three women's struggles for independence and satisfaction. All three of the central characters are vividly drawn and interesting people. Laura may seem the most grounded at first, but then we discover that her job as a psychotherapist is overshadowed by a scene when we find she has a therapist of her own. As far as her husband Donnie goes, she still loves him, but it is clear that he is not a responsible man, as he casually has affairs and doesn't show any sympathy for Laura. Rebecca, on the other hand, finds her rapid change of jobs a nice change of pace, even though she later discovers after an acting audition that she unknowingly has a great deal of talent. Slowly, she starts to suspect that something other than fatherly love is going on between Nick and his daughter, and quickly drops him when things get a little too uncomfortable. Poor Jennifer has the most problems, as she finds it difficult to show any feeling for anyone. Even though Ken had one affair, he is honestly regretful of his misstep and is otherwise faithful, unlike Donnie. Jennifer loves her daughter, no doubt about that, but her own interior problems need to be worked out, and so she leaves them. It doesn't take long to see that she is headed for further conflicts.
Ione Skye was such a startlingly bright presence in 1989's "Say Anything," but since then hasn't had much success, aside from her turn in 1992's indie, "Gas, Food Lodging." Skye returns with a reckoning here, as her character of Rebecca also has to deal with the discovery from her aunt (Karen Black) that her father is not dead, like she had been told, but merely wanted nothing to do with her when he found out her mother was pregnant. In one of the best scenes in the film, Rebecca pays a visit to her dad, who works as an auto mechanic. He takes her for a test drive in a used car, but she decides not to reveal her identity. Skye is so notably assured and winning here that it is unfortunate this film was released earlier this summer from Phaedra Cinema, but through ill-fated circumstances, was not reviewed in any of the NY newspapers and therefore opened and closed with the blink of an eye. Be sure to catch the film when it comes to video probably later this year.
Lumi Cavazos, as Laura, appeared in 1993's acclaimed foreign film, "Like Water for Chocolate," which remains unseen by me, but after seeing her here, I might just have a reason to take a look at that earlier picture. Cavazos is luminous and is even a little funny when dealing with her character's eccentricities (when she goes out on a date and lights a cigarette but simply holds it in her hand, she tells him, "I don't smoke").
Amanda de Cadenet decidedly has the most difficult role, and goes through the most changes, but is up to the challenge, believably displaying a wide range of emotions as a woman who doesn't feel wanted by anyway, most of all her husband, despite his constant apologizing for what he once did. One late sequence, however, in which Jennifer goes home with the wrong man, who then violently rapes her, felt out-of-place and nothing comes of the scene afterwards. Its purpose, of course, was to be an incident that finally knocks some sense into her concerning her impending path of destruction, but the scene still could have been more well-handled.
There actually aren't that many actual criticisms I can give the film, other than to say that this sort of story has been overdone and the film world wasn't exactly crying out for another one. I also could have done without the ending, which is just a little too neat and tidy for my taste, but that at least put me in a better mood than if it had ended on a downbeat note. Still, these minor downfalls don't detract away from my overall feelings on "Mascara," which is that it is a rare mature film about free-thinking adults, and one that treats its characters with an open mind and a big heart.
