| timestamp sendStrobedWord | ( | self | , |
| word | , | ||
| port | |||
| ) |
Send a 15-bit strobed word spanning digial ports A and B.
| word | unsigned integer representing a word or code to send |
| port | ignored, always uses ports A and B |
Uses both digital output ports of the 1208FS, A and B, to send a 15-bit strobed word. Sets the 8 lowest bits of word to port A. Sets the next 7 bits of word to port B. Ignores any higher bits of word. Uses the 8th bit of port B as a strobe bit.
Makes four mexHID() transactions to write the bits of word to the digital ports and flash the strobe bit.
The four transactions makes sure that all word bits are in place before the strobe bit is set, and that the strobe bit is cleared before continuing. Thus, the strobe bit may remain set for as long as it takes to complete a transaction. From tests, it appears this takes about 2ms.
Returns the mexHID() pre-transaction timestamp from the 3rd transaction, when the strobe bit was set.
Here are the word bits, digital port bits, and phisical device pins that dotsDOut1208FS expects to match:
| word bit | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | (strobe) |
| port bit | A0 | A1 | A2 | A3 | A4 | A5 | A6 | A7 | B0 | B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 | B5 | B6 | B7 |
| pin | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 |
| timestamp ref sendTTLPulse | ( | self | , |
| channel | |||
| ) |
Send a TTL pulse, using a short TTL signal.
| channel | 0 or 1, from which analog output to send the TTL pulse |
Uses sendTTLSignal() to send a single TTL pulse. The signal is specified in the pulseSignal property and should contain a single region of true, followed by false. This assumes that channel begins at a low value and will transition to high and back to low during the pulse.
The pulseWidth property specifies the duration of each sample in pulseSignal: output sample frequency is equal to 1/pulseWidth.
Returns the timestamp returned from sendTTLSignal(). As long as pulseSignal begins with a true value, the timestamp will be an estimate of when channel transitioned to a high value. See sendTTLSignal() for timing details and other details.
| timestamp ref sendTTLSignal | ( | self | , |
| channel | , | ||
| signal | , | ||
| frequency | |||
| ) |
Send a TTL signal using an analog output scan.
| channel | 0 or 1, from which analog output to send signal |
| signal | logical array specifying a sequence of TTL values to output from channel, with true->high and false->low |
| frequency | frequency in Hz at which to move through elements of signal |
Outputs the given TTL signal, at the given sample frequency, from the given analog output channel, under control of the 1208FS device's onboard microprocessor. If signal is too long to fit in the device's onboard memory, returns immediately with a negative error code. From tests, it appears that the onboard memory holds 512 samples.
Before outputting a new TTL signal, blocks until the 1208FS deivce reports that the previous signal is all done. Otherwise, the previous signal would be truncated. The device reports the status of the previous signal as a HID element value which mexHID() can read.
Once ready, makes 1 mexHID() transaction to configure the given channel to ouput n samples at the given frequency, where n is the number of elements in signal. Then makes m additional transactions to write signal data to the 1208fs device's onboard memory. Since each transaction contains 32 samples, m is equal to n/32, rounded up.
From tests, it appears that the 1208FS begins outputting signal upon receipt of one of the m signal data transactions. There are two apparent patterns:
Returns the mexHID() pre-transaction timestamp from either the last or the 8th transaction, as above. From tests, it appears that this pre-transaction timestamp preceeds signal onset by about 3.5ms when the scan frequency is 1000Hz and about 1.5ms when the scan frequency is 10,000Hz. The size of the preceeding interval did not seem to depend on the length of signal. Further testing would be warranted.
Here are the channels, "signal name"s and physical device pins that dotsDOut1208FS expects to match:
| channel | 0 | 1 |
| name | D/A OUT 0 | D/A OUT 1 |
| pin | 13 | 14 |

IN both 4- and 8-channel modes, the D/A outs are: channel 0 = physical port 13 channel 1 = physical port 14 NOTE that ground channels are: 12, 15; true ground is 17


Shall We Dance? (a/k/a Shall We Dansu, Japanese with subtitles) Seen on 15 August 1997 for $8.75 by myself at the Loews Tower East.
One benchmark of movie success is the ability to inspire an audience. *Il Postino* spurred more than a few people to investigate poetry. People leaving the theatre attempted a few waltz steps right out front. (This is the same place people wept on the curb after *Fearless*.) It's too soon to know just how many Japanese have taken to the dancefloors, but *Shall We Dance?* did sweep Japan's version of the Oscars.
The opening voice-over informs us that rigid Japanese society (remember the popular phrase, "The nail that stands up gets hammered down" came from there) is such that a married couple rarely touches in public, much less dance. Couples don't even privately say "I love you" all that much.
Such is the rut of Shohei Sugiyama (Koji Yakusho), who is married with child, has a boring accounting job in an overcrowded Tokyo office, and has "imprisoned" himself by buying a house (apparently quite a feat for the Japanese bourgeois).
Life runs like a train on its track, until the evening Sugiyama sees Mai Kishikawa (Tamiyo Kusakari) staring forelornly out of the window of a dance studio. Bewitched, Sugiyama looks up each night to see whether or not she is there. Temptation forces him off his subway car and up the stairs and is quite hilariously and literally thrown into the studio; he signs up for some beginners' courses.
A lively comedy ensues as Sugiyama immerses himself into amateur dancing, eventually competing. His new acquaintances include the overweight diabetic Tanaka (Hiromasa Taguchi) whose doctor suggested dancing as exercise, and an older know-it-all; the kindly older Tamako (Reiko Kusamura) who runs the school and Toyoko (Eriko Watanabe), the Rubenesque, tart-tongued fellow student, who has a harsh word for just about everyone. All of these types make a nice recipe for comedy, drama, and some gushy, sentimental moments.
A society that demonizes dancing more taboo the way sexual orientation is here is hard to imagine. But it's easier to imagine than *Footloose*, a town where dancing is forbidden. The Japanese "instinctively" know not to do this sort of thing. When the crazed dancer at the classes turns out of the systems administrator Aoki (Naoto Takenaka), he and Sugiyama guard their secret, afraid of being "outed." They instinctively know ridicule and shame can follow. Accordingly, the camera keeps it's distance and close-ups are used to underscore the drama. The full frame is utilized, and watch for funny little things happening off to the side apart from the main action.
Meanwhile, as Sugiyama dances, his wife gets more and more suspicious. She winds up hiring a very sympathetic private detective.
Overall, this is an excellent movie. All the performances hit their intended marks; the potential for abusing physical comedy is avoided--we are spared a Blake Edwards movie.
My sole complaint is that the movie comes to a snorestill at two distinct times: Once to literally read a letter, and the other to hear a true confessions soliloquy. These are only minor drawbacks, though to one of the most enjoyable films I have seen this summer.
Dance, don't walk, to a theatre near you!

MySpace
MySpace 2003
Myspace launched before Facebook. Some could say that Facebook took
the idea from Myspace. However, the thing with these two websites is that
one did it better than the other. First, Myspace was the first social
media website I used before Facebook. I remember using it before I began
high school. Myspace was so interesting that all of my friends only wanted
to visit each other's profile to see our template creations. Of course,
same as Facebook we could message each other.
The other cool thing Myspace had that Facebook was lacking when
released was that we could customize our profile home page and add
music. Many people always wanted to visit someone else's profile page
to see hear their favorite song.
This below is how Myspace used to look like when it was first launched.
Same as Facebook the design of the page was simple. Although, in Myspace you had many different options to navigate. Such as blog, groups and more.
MySpace 2020
Today, Myspace has changed a lot compared to Facebook. It did improved
but somehow it is not being use like before. Although, they
have reinvented the website. It is mostly based on music compared to back
then.
Their new homepage design looks more appealing than before. They still kept the idea of multiple options to navigate. However, they changed the way their homepage looks a lot. Now it is mostly pictures and promotions. As you scroll, you can see artist and videos suggestions. Myspace has become more of a news industry than what it used to be.

NIGHT FALLS ON MANHATTAN A film review by Peter W. Ely Copyright 1997 Peter W. Ely
Screenplay and Direction by Sidney Lumet. Starring Andy Garcia, Richard Dreyfus, and Lena Olin Capitol Square and Brittania 6 [14 adult entertainement].
This film, by the great Sidney Lumet is almost certain to disappoint. It is a confused collage of cliches and improbable scenes, implausable story line, and simply bad casting that results in a movie that is not worth viewing unless you are ready to laugh your way through the last 90 minutes of the film.
Do you believe that a lawyer fresh out of law school could within one year, successlly prosecute a kingpin drug lord being represented by a brilliant defense attorney (Dreyfuss), and subsequently be asked by the mayor to run for the office of chief district attorney, win, and then undertake a massive shake up of corrupt police services, all the while establishing a relationship with another lawyer who seemingly only wants to cook eggs for him and to have sex with him? How about a judge who tongue in cheek is party to the falsification of evidence?
Funnier than the implausible script is the myopic development of badly casted characters from the hypomanic buffon (Andy Garcia) who stands on tables, desks, or bars to rant vitriole whenever more than six people are present in a room to jailed drug lords who present to trial in snappy blue suits rather than in standard prison issued clothing. You may also be amused by the other characters in this flop; for example, the character played by Andy Garcia's father, who would make a more convincing septogenerian rather than a late fifties cop near retirment.
Sidney Lumet has made some brilliant movies in his time, but this character study is not vintage Lumet. Rather, is seems to be from the Mr. Magoo school of character development.
I was looking at the reviews in the newspaper today. Rex Reed of the New York Observer reportedly described it as "One of those rare movies with impact and insight."
Bruce Williamson of Playboy reportedly wrote: "Night Falls' has grit and intelligence."
Mike Cidoni of ABC-TV reportedly wrote: "Powerful! Truly Triumphant."
Larry Ratliff of FOX-TV reportedly wrote: "Sidney Lumet scorches the screen."
Tonight, I discovered that even though I have not written a movie review since my undergraduate years in University, the aforementioned "movie critics" have nothing to teach the masses.
Save your money. I predict that this dud will experience a core meltdown before the end of May 1997.

Simply Writing Music
Simply Writing Music is an app that helps musicians begin writing their own music by teaching them basic music theory, providing them with an orginized software that aids them in their creativity, allows the users to share their music, and give tips to and learn from other song writers, as well as passing down their own experience to other song writers.
Whether you're brand new to writing music, or you've been writing your whole life, this app will give you the tools to solidify, orginize, and share your music to the world!
Our Goal
We believe that music brings people together. Our goal is to aid those wishing to share their melodic voice with the world and share their stories with others.
We also want to create a place where musicians can easily come together and teach and learn from each other to help grow our musical community.
Design Process
Other Apps:
Other music writing apps give the user the nessessary tools that help them orginize and write music. However, these apps do not encorporate the learning and social aspect that Simply Writing Music does.
Our app gives the user the tools to write but also gives them the options to learn music theory in order to sharpen their skills and to be able to connect to others and learn from them.
Interview with Josh Ferguson:
Question: What would you like to see in an app designed to help you write music?
Answer: "I just want an app that can layout my music that easily transposes to other keys. Maybe an app that could even teach me some music theory."
Question: How might you like to see this app incorporate a social structure or how would you like to see this app bring people together?
Answer: "Probably just being able to share easily with other artists and have the ability to build a community with other songwriters."
Question: Would you be interested in an app that would allow you to share songs, give and recieve input to and from other songwriters, and taught simple, basic music theory in order to solidify the users understanding of music?
Answer: "That sounds awesome! I would love that app! The only issue would be if people started trolling other people's songs with random coments. But what app doesn't have that problem honestly?"
Question: What are some issues you've had with songwriting that you'd like to see this app fix?
Answer: "I tend to make songs in a key that is too high or too low for my vocal range. It would be really nice to just be able to quickly transpose my songs on the spot."
Affinity Wall:
Persona:
21 years old, Male, NKU Entrepreneurship Major student, Student Painter Intern
Josh is a avid musician. He is primarily a singer, secondarily a acustic guitarist, and also plays the piano and drums. He is a talented songwriter. But Josh wishes there was an app that he could use that would orginize his music, help him wirte, teach him to grow musically, and even be able to share and learn from other songwriters.


Tips On How To Approach A Coding Interview Question
In this write up, I intend to gather a list of tips that have helped me approach unknown algorithm/coding interview questions. Appropriate use of data structures and algorithms is out of scope for this post. Instead, I will focus on generic tips that one can use to simplify the problem and consequently, its solution. The following problem statement is a question I have faced recently in a technical interview.
The Problem Statement
/*
You will be a writing a product price map. Similar to something you would use
to power a website like Amazon. Specifically, I would like you to implement
two functions, addProduct and listProducts. addProduct takes a product name,
seller name and the price and adds it to your mapping. listProducts retrieves
the average price per product in your mapping. You can create whatever classes
necessary. Here are the functions stubbed out for your benefit:
*/
void addProduct(String product, String seller, Double price);
Map<String, Double> listProducts();
Before writing code, I needed to get a few things out of the way.
I noticed the question was left ambiguous in many aspects. It’s easy to mistake this for carelessness on the interviewer’s part. In reality, they are testing you. They want to see if you ask the right questions to resolve the ambiguity. If you don’t clarify the ambiguous portions of the problem, you really won’t know what you are solving.
Tip #1: Always clarify the ambiguities of the problem statement.
Here are some questions I asked to fight ambiguity:
Q: Why is the name of the seller important in the context of the question?
A: Because, if you re-add a product with the same seller and a different price, I would like you to overwrite the previous price for that product.
Q: What does addProduct return?
A: It doesn’t return anything.
Q: What does listProducts return?
A: It should return the average price across sellers for each product in your map so far. e.g.
void addProduct(String product, String seller, Double price);
/**
returns mapping:
{
"pen": 10.0,
"car": 5500.75,
.......
}
*/
Map<String, Double> listProducts();
Great! Next step was to decide which tool I would use to solve this problem.
Tip #2: Ask if it’s okay to use your language of choice. SPOILER: It’s almost always okay.
Interviewers want you to feel comfortable when solving a question. Generally speaking, they will be okay with you using your language of preference. In the rare occasion they aren’t, it’s important to explain even the most trivial bits of code as you write them.
In my case, the interviewer was more than happy to have me solve the question in python3.
Tip #3: Ask what you are optimizing the solution for (e.g. memory, runtime etc.).
Before starting to brainstorm for a solution, I wanted to make sure I was on the right path so to speak. I don’t want to devise a space optimized solution if what my interviewer is interested in is a fast lookup.
Remember, sometimes optimization for space can sacrifice runtime and vice-versa. You want to make sure you are optimizing for what you’re told.
In my case, the interviewer wanted me to optimize the functions for runtime.
Tip #4: Modify the stubbed out code to your language of choice and add documentation to reflect your goal.
Once I had clarified the ambiguity in the question, established my language of choice and settled on my goal for the solution, I began to rewrite the original problem statement to include all this information.Why?
Writing down this information would help me stay focused on my goal as I race against time to invent a solution.
# Rewriting functions to follow python3 conventions
"""
takes in product (str) seller (str) and price(float) and updates product map. Creates
new entry if mapping doesn't exist already. If it exists, update to new price. returns
nothing.
"""
def add_product(product, seller, price):
#TODO
"""
returns a mapping of products to their average price across sellers.
"""
def list_products():
# TODO
Now, I was going to put my head down and concentrate on solving the problem in full silence. Right? WRONG!
Tip #5: Think out loud. Listen closely for hints. Use a scratchpad.
I know some of you might prefer working in silence, but I strongly believe it is crucial to think out loud and talk through the problem as you approach it. There are many advantages to this.
First of all, you can hear yourself explaining your logic. So, if there are any glaring errors in it, you will be able to correct yourself before you’ve even started.
Secondly, you let the interviewer hear how you think. At the end of the day, the interviewer is there to evaluate your thought process.
Which in turn means that it is essential to pay close attention to your interviewer throughout the process. Most of the time, there is a deliberate reason for what an interviewer will say (or won’t say).
I also use a scratchpad to write important notes if necessary. I have found this helps for the more complex problems.
Tip #6: Attempt a working, albeit naive, solution.
For my first attempt, I will typically come up with a solution that’s “good enough”, even if it’s a brute force, naive solution. The important part here is to recognize that you have a simple brute force solution that works. Go ahead and implement it. I have found after you write a first pass of your solution, it is easier to detect the bottlenecks in your code. Go through each block of your code, analyze the runtime and strategize for optimization.
Having a working solution, no matter how naive, is always good for your confidence. You don’t want to waste too much time chasing the perfect solution and rush through the coding portion. This will inevitably lead to compromising the quality of code.
Bonus Tip #6.5: Choose variable names for maximum readability.
I have heard conflicting opinions on this. My personal preference is to name variables in a descriptive manner. This helps me follow my code easily. For some, this has the exact opposite effect. They prefer picking concise variable names. At the end of the day, you want to name the variables for maximum readability for both yourself and the interviewer.
Anyway, this is what my v1 solution looked like:
# Rewriting functions to follow python3 conventions
from collections import defaultdict
class ProductMap:
def __init__(self):
# Store all prices per seller per product
self.product_price_map_per_seller = defaultdict(dict)
# Store average price per product in a dict for fast lookup
self.avg_price_per_product = defaultdict(dict)
"""
takes in product (str) seller (str) and price(float) and updates product map. Creates
new entry if mapping doesn't exist already. If it exists, update to new price. returns
nothing.
Runtime Complexity O(N)
"""
def add_product(self, product, seller, price):
# Add product to map
self.product_price_map_per_seller[product][seller] = price
# Calculate new average. Update map with value.
prices_for_product = [price for _, price in self.product_price_map_per_seller[product].items()]
self.avg_price_per_product[product] = sum(prices_for_product)/len(prices_for_product)
"""
returns a mapping of products to their average price across sellers.
Runtime Complexity O(1)
"""
def list_products(self):
return self.avg_price_per_product
I was pretty content with my solution at this point. My code had a well optimized O(1) runtime complexity for list_products
, which I wanted. My other function, add_product()
had an O(N) runtime. I could live with that. But how could I be really sure?
Tip #7: Run through a few test cases.
Test cases instill confidence in your code. Walk through at least one standard test case that gives you maximum code coverage. If you have time, walk through a few edge cases.
In my case I walked through the states of self.product_price_map_per_seller
and self.avg_price_per_product
as I ran through the following function invocations:
p = ProductMap()
p.add_product("pen", "bic", 10.0)
p.add_product("notebook", "walmart", 3.99)
p.add_product("pen", "montblanc", 1000.0)
p.add_product("pen", "bic", 4.99)
p.list_products()
My interviewer nodded along as I explained my code and finally broke his silence once I was done.
This looks good. But, do you think it’s possible to optimize the runtime for
add_product()
?
Tip #8: Listen to the feedback your interviewer gives you. Use the hints to better your solution if possible.
In my case, the hint was pretty darn obvious. Since he asked, I knew there was a smarter way to calculate the average price for each product. I started to analyze my add_product()
function line by line.
- Line #20 — Upserting the price for a seller by product was O(1). I think this is fine.
- Line #22 — Creating the list of prices for each product was O(N). Aha! potential bottleneck.
- Line #23 — Summing the list was O(N). Another bottleneck!
I needed to somehow calculate the average of the prices without having to visit every price for a product. How could I do that? I guess I could keep a rolling average. But, that only works if I am guaranteed to see new values only. My program is intended to have updates to old prices (if a seller for a certain product calls add_product()
with a different price from the original).
I wonder if I could somehow account for this price update. I could keep a running total of price and total unique sellers count for each product. If a seller updates the price for a certain product, I could deduct the old price from the running total and add the new price. Dividing the running total by the total unique sellers count would give me the average. I could then update my average price per product dictionary with this value for fast lookup.
The interviewer seemed happy with my train of thought. So, I went ahead and did exactly that.
# Rewriting functions to follow python3 conventions
from collections import defaultdict
class ProductMap:
def __init__(self):
# Store all prices per seller per product
self.product_price_map_per_seller = defaultdict(dict)
# running total and unique seller count per product
self.running_total_and_seller_count = defaultdict(dict)
# Store average price per product in a dict for fast lookup
self.avg_price_per_product = defaultdict(dict)
"""
takes in product (str) seller (str) and price(float) and updates product map. Creates
new entry if mapping doesn't exist already. If it exists, update to new price. returns
nothing.
Runtime Complexity O(1)
"""
def add_product(self, product, seller, price):
# Update or create running total and seller count depending on the context
if seller in self.product_price_map_per_seller.get(product, {}):
self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['running_total'] += price - self.product_price_map_per_seller[product][seller]
else:
if product in self.running_total_and_seller_count:
self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['running_total'] += price
self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['seller_count'] += 1
else:
self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['running_total'] = price
self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['seller_count'] = 1
# Add product to map
self.product_price_map_per_seller[product][seller] = price
# Calculate new average. Update map with value.
self.avg_price_per_product[product] = self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['running_total']/self.running_total_and_seller_count[product]['seller_count']
"""
returns a mapping of products to their average price across sellers.
Runtime Complexity O(1)
"""
def list_products(self):
return self.avg_price_per_product
I ran my code through the same test case as before to make sure there were no bugs. The interviewer was happy with the improvements I made. So, we moved on to Q&A phase of the interview, officially marking the end of the coding portion.
TL;DR: Here are the tips in a nice list:
- Always clarify the ambiguities of the problem statement.
- Ask if it’s okay to use your language of choice. SPOILER: It’s almost always okay.
- Ask what you are optimizing the solution for (e.g. memory, runtime etc.).
- Modify the stubbed out code to your language of choice and add documentation to reflect your goal.
- Think out loud. Listen closely for hints. Use a scratchpad.
- Attempt a working — albeit naive — solution.
6.5. Choose variable names for maximum readability. - Run through a few test cases.
- Listen to the feedback your interviewer gives you. Use the hints to better your solution if possible.
I hope this helped. If you have any feedback or handy tips that I missed, feel free to drop a note in my email!

Package org.pytorch
Class Tensor
java.lang.Object
org.pytorch.Tensor
public abstract class Tensor
extends java.lang.Object
Representation of a Tensor. Behavior is similar to PyTorch's tensor objects.
Most tensors will be constructed as Tensor.fromBlob(data, shape)
,
where data
can be an array or a direct Buffer
(of the proper subclass).
Helper methods are provided to allocate buffers properly.
To access Tensor data, see dtype()
, shape()
,
and various getDataAs*
methods.
When constructing Tensor
objects with data
as an array,
it is not specified whether this data is is copied or retained as a reference
so it is recommended not to modify it after constructing. data
passed as a
Buffer
is not copied, so it can be modified between Module
calls
to avoid reallocation. Data retrieved from Tensor
objects may be copied or
may be a reference to the Tensor
's internal data buffer.
shape
is always copied.

@Service(value="mossManager")
@Repository
public class MossManager
extends java.lang.Object
Manages interaction between controller and data. This class works as an abstraction layer between the controller and the underlying data models. This class contains the majority of the logic code dealing with objects and their interactions. Requires the moss scripts to be copied into the pasta folder (where all of the assessment and submission data is kept), in a folder labeled "moss". Within that folder, there should be another folder entitled "template" and within that there should be an ant script called "build.xml" which has a target called "run" and also accepts two parameters. The first is "assessment" which is the assessment name, the second is "defaultLocation" which points to the folder which holds all of the student submissions. The manager assumes that once the script has executed, the URL of the moss results is written into "location.txt". This URL is then scraped for the required data. This manager does no caching.

AN IDEAL HUSBAND RATING: 7.5 / 10 --> Very Good Movie
For more reviews and movie screensavers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
I was dragged to go see this film by my better half. I do not enjoy time-period pieces. I am not a particular fan of Minnie Driver or her acute jawline. British films generally do not "light my fire". Having said all of that, I quite enjoyed this film, its actors, its setting and Minnie Driver and her goofy head.
PLOT: The time is 1895, and society is run on extremely high morals. Men rule the country and women, well, women want to marry the "perfect" men. One particular "ideal husband" suddenly finds his career as a politician and loving marriage in complete jeopardy, when an indiscretion from his past is set to blackmail by a woman, in exchange for a political favor. His good friend, who at 36 has yet to encounter a need to get married, attempts to help him out.
CRITIQUE: Charming, delightful, comical at times, interesting at others, this film is drenched in beautiful settings and costumes, witty dialogue, and a great cast of actors in their top form. The plot itself is not very thick, and does seem to finish just a little before its time, but for some very strange reason, kept me interested, kept me listening, and kept me watching. My best guess is that the solid performances from Julianne Moore and Rupert Everett were at the crux of my enjoyment, as well as the rest of the consistently entertaining cast, the moral intricacies of their day, and the well-styled direction coming from the man behind the film, Oliver Parker. Double-props go out to him from me, most particularly since I am generally bored stupid during these kinds of movies, so "good show, young man!". Now while I did enjoy watching the characters in the film jostle at the slightest impropriety or lie told by a person, I could not help but notice the lack of appreciation that today's society had towards any of their "simple" moral boners.
I guess we have all gotten so used to the immoralities running rampant today (The President of the United States was getting headjobs under his desk from an intern, for God's sakes!), that the outrage supplied by the characters in the film feel quite exaggerated. Then again, perhaps it is time for us to begin revising our own moral agendas of the day. Then again, perhaps it is time for me to loosen up and get back to my review of this film, instead of rambling on about stuff that is of no consequence to this critique, per se. Arrrumphh.....now where was I?  Now there's another remark that has absolutely nothing to do with my review, just a fact that I thought might help another sap like me, who would go in thinking the same. Overall, a harmless little ditty is this film, with some great performances from all involved, most particularly Julianne Moore as the Queen Beeyatch, and Rupert Everett as the ultimate slacker bachelor. It's funny, it's serious, there's romance, there are twists and turns, and all in all, it is quite pleasant to look at. Fun English times.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Minnie Driver's real name is Amelia Driver. She has dated everyone from John Cusack to Matt Damon to Josh Brolin to the drummer from the "Foo Fighters". Up to this point, she's only been humiliatingly dumped in public by Matt Damon. She stands 5'10". Rupert Everett turned down the Daniel Day-Lewis role in A ROOM WITH A VIEW. Juliane Moore's real name is Julie Anne Smith. Her father was a judge in the Army's Judge Advocate General Corps and her mother was a psychiatric social worker. She stands 5'5", and was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Actor Jeremy Northam's first American film was the forgettable NET (5/10) with Sandra Bullock. He was born in Cambridge, England. Oscar Wilde's full name was Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde. This play, AN IDEAL HUSBAND, was also produced as a TV movie in 1969 starring Jeremy Brett (Not sure if he was gay or not :). Director Oliver Parker's first and only other film was 1995's OTHELLO with Larry Fishburne.
Review Date: July 10, 1999 Director: Oliver Parker Writer: Oliver Parker (based on an Oscar Wilde play) Producers: Bruce Davey, Uri Fruchtmann and Barnaby Thompson Actors: Rupert Everett as Lord Arthur Goring Julianne Moore as Mrs. Laura Cheveley Cate Blanchett as Lady Gertrud Chiltern Jeremy Northam as Sir Robert Chiltern Minnie Driver as Mabel Chiltern Genre: Comedy Year of Release: 1999 ------------------------------------- JoBlo's Movie Emporium http://www.joblo.com/ ------------------------------------- (c) 1999 Berge Garabedian

Meeting was held May 19th
The committee discussed many topics. The following is listed in discussion order.
VP Berte discussed the newly formed Health, Safety, and Reopening Committee. A standing committee meeting Tuesdays at 9:30
On ventilation, we heard of a study being done.
We heard of a break down on space requirements for classrooms
Jonathan Peters raised the issue of phasing (bringing in more and more starting with the easier such as research labs or residence halls). We heard Mel Pipe is leading a committee that will meet with the research committee to discuss this. Both Mel and Dan McCloskey have been invited to the opening up committee.
We heard that supplies through Grainger and elswhere were difficult to findi.
We heard that in March an outside company did a deep cleaning. We relayed a suggestion to post cleaning schedules and routines. Valky described the importance of such communications to the community.
We heard how crews are working in groups of 2
We heard 2 plumbers have been hired; hot water is now restored in all buildings
The issue of brown water is known; flushing will occur in June and before re-opening
Electricians are addressing outdoor lighting issues
Kitchen ceiling is being aeddressed
Jonathan Peters shared his concerns about the Auxiliary Services Corp funding, as they have lost revenues in the several millions.
Several projects are still ongoing: substation; fire alarm; 1M roof replacement; sidewalk repair. These have health and safety motivations.
We asked about windows; tthe inventory if finished. While many open, those that don't are problematic as parts aren't available.
We discussed transportation both funding and space concerns. The issue of peak usage is a big problem,
We talked about parking
We talked about preparing facilities for staff usage (library, registrar, ...)
Alan Zimmerman and others expressed frustration with no decision on fall instruction. Jonathan Peters and others are hopeful for partial instruction on campus. (A stovepipiing approach where things that can be opened up are.) A meeting on Monday of CUNY Chief Operating Officers was held with similar concerns expressed.
Discuss measures to ensure the safety of staff in the various service areas, where we come in direct contact with students, in preparation of returning to work.
plexiglass barriers to be installed where initeraction is required (e.g. at the regisitrars window...)
Customer service for many units of the college, a whole separate issue.
PPE provided for everyone (masks, gloves, sanitizer dispensers)
published schedule of cleanings and deep cleanings
Ensure hot water in bathrooms works; ensure sanitary bathrooms
Food facilities need to be upgraded for safety concerns
ventilation in rooms needs improvement;
windows in classrooms should be functional
podiums in classrooms need to be sanitized between usage
There is a lot going around on professional listserves regarding 'materials' that are handed by students (going to their homes) and are returned (e.g., books, laptops) and how to disinfect.
Are expenses expected to be reiimbursed through the CARES act? If not, has budget been readjusted?
Discussion about mixed hybrid courses needs more technology. Can facilities staff

Sunburst, bargraph and linegraph
Sunburst The sunburst diagram represents data from a specific food category over the years 2004 up until 2016. The first thing you get to see when you scroll down is an interactive sunburst diagram. A preview is represented on the right. The outer circle represents every weekly data point and which month was the most popular month for this food category. The inner circle represents the sum of all data points for every year. On the right, the number of inner circles is 13, each representing one year between 2004 and 2016. Zoom in to a more detailed sunburst by clicking on an element. Go back by clicking in the middle. Bargraph The bargraph changes automatically by choosing a food category. The graph represents a yearly overview of search rates for a specific food category. Change the year by moving the slider. Linegraph The linegraph represents mean searching rates for a chosen food category. The graph can be used to find a year in which a topic was trending. For instance, 'coffee' was trending in the year 2012. Choose the food category with any dropdown bar. Data is proveded by: www.kaggle.com Sunburst is inspired by: beta.observablehq.com
Choose a food category with the dropdown-menu. The sunburst, bar graph and line graph will be updated after selecting.
This is a sunburst made from data of one food category. Every piece in the circle represents either a year, month or week of data. The bigger a piece, the higher the search count for this food category. Zoom in on a year by clicking on one of the sunburst pieces. Zoom out by clicking in the middle. * Colors don't represent element values. * Labels of weeks and months are only shown for highest search rates.
Select a food category or click on one of the bar graphs to view the sunburst.
Move the slider to view a bar chart of a specific year.
Choose category:
Explore the data with some more examples!
Bar charts are shown for different years between 2004 - 2016.
This is a linechart of mean searching rates for a chosen food category over the years 2004 - 2016. Mean searching rates are calculated by adding all weekly values together over a whole year and deviding by 52. Move your mouse over the line to get more details.
Behind the scenes of the sunburst.
In contrast to the interactive sunburst, this sunburst doesn't have any hidden layers. This sunburst shows all pieces of data from one food category, which gives an impression of how all the yearly data is calculated. The inner circle represents the years, the second circle the months and the outer circle all the weeks.

Breast and lung cancer are the most common causes of cancer deaths in American women. About 12% of women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Fortunately, when breast cancer is caught early it can be successfully treated. Although breast cancer is not preventable, a low fat, high-fiber diet coupled with regular exercise may lower risk.
Most breast lumps are benign. In young women a common cause of a lump is a fibroadenoma. It is firm and movable with no tenderness. In women 35 to 50 years old, fibrocystic changes are the most common cause of a breast lump. The cause of this problem is the breast tissue reacting to varying levels of estrogen and progesterone. Multiple cysts and fibrous tissue can form causing a lumpy or granular feel to the breast tissue.
Breast cancer is usually hard, uneven, non-mobile, and painless. The key to early detection is periodic exams, mammograms, and self examination. A small mass seen on x-ray or found on exam can often be biopsied under local anesthesia in the office or x-ray suite. When cancer is detected the treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The age of the patient and the stage of her cancer (stage is determined by the size of the cancer, spread to regional lymph nodes, and spread to other organs) helps determine the recommendations for treatment.
If you note any changes in your breasts don't hesitate to have a check-up with your physician.

Our new playground is finally all put together! We're so excited to have this outdoor venue where all the children of Adventure Academy can run, laugh, play, and explore in the summer sun! This is something we've been working toward for the children of our center for some time now. Outdoor play and the ability for children to exercise their large muscle groups helps improve brain development and gives children tools for strength and maturity as they grow. We've been delighted to see the faces of children thus far as they get the chance to run, jump, and climb throughout our new outdoor play center.
Here are just a few pictures of some of the fun that's already been had:

FILM TITLE: DAMAGE DIRECTOR: LOUIS MALLE COUNTRY: ENGLAND/FRANCE 1993 CINEMATOGRAPHY: PETER BIZIOU MUSIC: ZBIGINIEW PREISNER WRITTEN BY: DAVID HARE, from Josephine Hart's novel CAST: Jeremy Irons ( Stephen ), Juliette Binoche ( Anna ), Miranda Richardson ( Ingrid ), Rupert Graves ( Martyn ), Ian Barmen, Peter Stormare, Leslie Caron ( The psychic ) SUPER FEATURES: Beautifully directed film.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Louis Malle's films have always been about the interaction between two, or more, characters. DAMAGE is not any different at all.
It would be very easy to call Louis Malle, the quintessential film director one can study in academic circles. DAMAGE is another fine example of what the art of directing is all about. Nicely tied moments, and a cohesive story. Made even more so, by the actions of the director. Malle, despite his American connections ( married to Candace Bergen ), has never lost his feel for directing something, and is ( and will ) be remembered for it for a long time to come.
DAMAGE is the story of an English diplomat that is on the verge of becoming a prime minister, but his ability to get his job done has met an enemy. It is his 'double', or his other personality. And for his indiscretion, he loses his whole life. Society can be cruel, but then so can the individuals, be they the Stephens intertwined in their chances of success, or Anna, whose life seems to be a series of tragic incidents she happens to bring to a close everytime. While Stephens sees and understands that he can not continue what he is doing, Anna is engaged to his son, he still does it. And it costs him his own son. And social position.
As the film closes, the older Stephens is admiring a picture of Anna on his wall. He observes that he saw Anna once more, but she didn't see him. She had had a child with the Frenchman that helped her before. And that he had lost her special feeling. The wildness.
I suppose that there are a couple of things this fine film would like to make us all see. why is it that the impossible is always so attractive, so clear, so desirable -- and yet, so utterly destructive. Or is it, as the credits suggest, that woman, while strong to pursue her desires, is still weak -- just like any man -- when it comes to drawing a line, or to stop.
Louis Malle's best strength has always been centered on the characters he works with, and their inner strength, or inability to work with it. And their interplay in the face of disaster. The ones that show the weaker and emotional sides, generally fail. The son is the example here. society manages to hurt, or damage, the rest.
Carefully shot, with beautiful musical passage strewn throughout, this film is slow, but it is attractive, with excellent acting throughout, and it manages to keep us wondering where it will all lead. But while Stephens is still stuck in a time warp, has everyone else gained, or lost.?
Excellently directed with very intricate and delicate dialogue exchanges. Tender when it needs to be. Sexual when it needs to be ( the angles are faster, and the style cuts faster ). This film is one of those that is sad, but it is a triumph of tenderness about one side of our nature, which has a tendency to hurt us in this modern day and age. Is it us, or is it the social mold that has done us wrong.? Anna is having the same problem on another scale.

For the cobnut cake, preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 2. Grease a 1kg/2lb 2oz loaf tin with butter.
In a bowl, mix together the flour and melted butter until well combined.
Add the ground ginger, sugar and beaten eggs and beat until well combined.
Add the cream and mix until the mixture forms a smooth, thick batter.
Stir in the chopped cobnuts until well combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, gently spreading the batter into all the corners and shaking the tin to make sure the mixture has settled.
Transfer the loaf tin to the oven and bake for 1-1¼ hours, or until the cake has risen and is golden-brown, and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Set the cake aside to cool slightly in the tin.
Meanwhile, for the apple compôte, heat the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, add the apples, caster sugar and ground cinnamon and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the apples have broken down slightly and the mixture has thickened.
To serve, cut the cake into six to eight slices (it is best served still warm). Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a spoonful of warm apple compôte.


Example
In this section we will take a look at one way of changing a parameter during a transient simulation. For this, we'll use the following circuit.
// Build a circuit
var ckt = new Circuit(
new Resistor("R1", "in", "out", 1.0e3),
new Resistor("R2", "out", "0", 1.0e3),
new Capacitor("C1", "out", "0", 0.5e-9),
new VoltageSource("V1", "in", "0", new Pulse(0, 5, 1e-6, 1e-6, 1e-6, 1e-5, 2e-5))
);
We also create our transient simulation as we normally would.
// Create the transient analysis and exports
var tran = new Transient("tran", 1e-6, 10e-5);
var outputExport = new RealVoltageExport(tran, "out");
tran.ExportSimulationData += (sender, args) =>
{
var time = args.Time;
var output = outputExport.Value;
};
So far so good. Nothing has really changed from before. We will now subscribe to the necessary events to modify the value of R2. We want it to change linearly with time from to .
The biasing behavior of a resistor
The resistance of a resistor can be changed using the BaseParameters of that resistor. But we cannot change the base parameters directly from the entity stored in the circuit! In other words, the following will fail to change the resistance for the simulation.
ckt.Object["R1"].SetParameter(newResistance);
Any simulation may clone all parameters to make it independent of other simulations. So we will need to ask our simulation - rather than the entity - for the base parameters.
Another something to consider is that even if we change the resistance parameter, the TemperatureBehavior will compute the conductance that is loaded by the load behavior of the resistor. So in order to update the resistance of a resistor, we will need to execute the following steps.
- Change the resistance in the BaseParameters, extracted from our simulation.
- Call the Temperature method of the TemperatureBehavior, also extracted from our simulation.
Requesting the parameters and behaviors
All entity parameters and behaviors are loaded during setup of the simulation. So we can use the AfterSetup event of the simulation to extract them.
// Now we need to make sure we have a reference to both the base parameters and temperature behavior
// of the resistor
SpiceSharp.Components.ResistorBehaviors.BaseParameters bp = null;
SpiceSharp.Behaviors.ITemperatureBehavior tb = null;
tran.AfterSetup += (sender, args) =>
{
tran.EntityParameters["R2"].TryGet(out bp);
tran.EntityBehaviors["R2"].TryGet(out tb);
};
Updating the parameters
We need to update the resistance every time the simulation is getting ready to load the Y-matrix and RHS-vector. In other words, by registering for the BeforeLoad event, we can be sure that the resistance is always updated with the latest value.
// Before loading the resistor, let's change its value first!
tran.BeforeLoad += (sender, args) =>
{
// First we need to figure out the timepoint that will be loaded
var time = tran.Method.Time;
// Then we need to calculate the resistance for "R2"
var resistance = 1.0e3 * (1 + time * 1.0e5);
// Now let's update the parameter
if (bp == null || tb == null)
return;
bp.Resistance.Value = resistance;
tb.Temperature();
};
// Run the simulation
tran.Run(ckt);
Combining all these code snippets finally results in the following simulation output.
