Duke climbs to No. 1 in AP Top 25 following Kentucky's loss
by JOHN MARSHALL, AP Basketball WriterDuke is back at No. 1, moving up a spot following a pair of victories last week.
The Blue Devils can thank Evansville for the jump.
Duke moved to No. 1 for the first time this season, receiving 52 first-place votes from a 65-member media panel in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll released Monday.
The Blue Devils climbed a spot after unranked Evansville pulled off the season's biggest surprise so far by knocking off previous No. 1 Kentucky.
Duke is ranked No. 1 for the 143rd week, extending its own record, and has the top spot in the AP poll for the 20th season under coach Mike Krzyzewski, also a record.
"Our sport is more prone to upset than any because there are just five people out there, so there's age, athleticism, maturity, depth and a lot of things where people can make up differences," Krzyzewski said. "That's why there are a lot of so-called upsets in our sport.
Duke (4-0) crushed Central Arkansas 105-54 last Tuesday and beat Georgia State 74-63 on Friday behind Tre Jones' career-high 31 points.
No. 2 Louisville received eight first-place votes and No. 3 Michigan State, the preseason No. 1, had four.
Kansas and North Carolina rounded out the top five, with No. 7 Virginia receiving the final first-place vote, one spot behind Maryland.
Kentucky was the overwhelming pick at No. 1 last week, receiving all but one first-place vote after knocking off previous No. 1 Michigan State in its opener.
The Wildcats dropped to No. 9 this week with the 67-64 loss to Evansville in Lexington.
"This was a great lesson for all of us, including me," Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "I mean, we could say they got outplayed and I could tell you I got out-coached."
TOP 10 SHUFFLE
Kentucky's loss caused a shift in the top 10.
Every team behind the Wildcats moved up a spot except for Gonzaga, which held at No. 8.
No. 10 Ohio State cracked the top 10 for the first time since reaching No. 8 in 2017-18, coach Chis Holtmann's first season. The Buckeyes climbed six spots after crushing then-No. 10 Villanova.
RISING
Ohio State had the biggest jump in this week's poll, followed by No. 14 Arizona's five-spot climb.
Auburn moved up three places from No. 22.
FALLING
Kentucky's eight-place fall was the biggest of the week. Villanova was next, losing seven spots to No. 17 and No. 25 Washington fell five places.
MOVING IN
Three teams moved into the AP Top 25 this week.
No. 20 Tennessee is ranked for the first time this season after knocking off Washington.
No. 21 Virginia Commonwealth, the preseason No. 25, is back in the poll following a two-point win over LSU and a rout of Jacksonville State.
Texas moved in at No. 22 with wins over California Baptist and Prairie View. The Longhorns are ranked for the first time this season.
MOVING OUT
Florida had a precipitous drop after losing to Connecticut, falling out of the poll from No. 15.
LSU was out from No. 23 following its loss to VCU and Saint Mary's dropped out from No. 18 after losing to Winthrop at home.

Federal judge tosses suit challenging Wynn’s casino license
BOSTON (AP) - A federal judge in Massachusetts has dismissed a $3 billion lawsuit accusing Wynn Resorts of cheating to win its casino license for Encore Boston Harbor.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Patti Saris says Sterling Suffolk Racecourse’s allegations do not constitute racketeering violations under the federal RICO act.
Sterling Suffolk says it’s “exploring all its options.” Wynn Resorts declined to comment.
Sterling Suffolk proposed building a Mohegan Sun casino on the Suffolk Downs horse track in Boston.
It argued Wynn Resorts fraudulently obtained its license through “unlawful methods,” including kickbacks, political cronyism, and concealing allegations of sexual misconduct against company founder Steve Wynn.
Massachusetts fined the company $35.5 million for failing to disclose the allegations but allowed it to keep its license.
Steve Wynn resigned as CEO but denies the allegations against him.

Installation and Setup¶
All code is in python3, though the dependencies (because of their need for GIS libraries) can be tricky to get right. It is recommended to use Anaconda3 as a package manager, generating a unique environment for use with this package, as this makes it fairly easy to get all the required packages.
Note that this package is not currently installed in a typical pythononic way (i.e. setuptools), but instead expects you to simply use it in place. This will change at some point. In the meantime, to install this package, simply place it and its third party libraries (TPLs) in your python path:
cd /path/to/repository
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`:`pwd`/workflow_tpls:${PYTHONPATH}
Dependencies¶
Standard packages needed include argparse and subprocess, and for testing, pytest and dist_utils. Standard math packages include numpy, matplotlib, and scipy. Soil properties often come in geodatabase files, which are best read with pandas and geopandas.
GIS work is typically done using expensive/closed source and GUI-based tools. For this work, we instead build on the extremely high-quality, open-source packages for GIS in python: fiona, rasterio, shapely and cartopy.
Optional: Mesh generation of 2D, “map view” surface meshes uses the open source library Triangle, which can be wrapped for python using meshpy. This in turn depends upon boost python. Optionally, extrusion of this 2D mesh into a 3D mesh for use in integrated hydrologic models requires a 3D mesh library ~~ we tend to use ExodusII here (though it would be straightforward to extend this to other packages such as VTK). ExodusII, part of the SEACAS suite of tools, provides a python3 set of wrappers, but there is no current package, so this must be installed separately. See below. Exodus, in turn, needs netCDF4, which can be from conda.
Optional: Finally, soil properties often come in percent silt/clay/sand, yet hydrologic properties such as porosity, permeability, and van Genuchten curves are the most frequently used in models. Rosetta3 is a tool providing pedotransfer functions to convert these properties into the needed model parameters. There is no current package available for this either, so it must be installed separately. See below.
Optional: Here we use jupyter notebooks to provide examples and illustrate usage of the package. If you do not intend to use jupyter, it is not necessary, adds a lot of extra packages, and can safely be removed from the installation below.
Recommended process¶
Download and install Anaconda3. Then create a new environment that includes the required packages:
conda create -n watershed_workflow -c conda-forge -c defaults python=3 ipython ipykernel jupyter notebook nb_conda_kernels numpy matplotlib scipy pandas geopandas meshpy fiona rasterio shapely cartopy pyepsg descartes pyproj requests sortedcontainers attrs libarchive h5py netCDF4 pytest
conda activate watershed_workflow
conda create -n watershed_workflow_dev -c conda-forge -c defaults python=3 ipython ipykernel jupyter notebook nb_conda_kernels numpy matplotlib scipy pandas geopandas meshpy fiona rasterio shapely cartopy pyepsg descartes pyproj requests sortedcontainers attrs libarchive h5py netCDF4 pytest sphinx numpydoc sphinx_rtd_theme nbsphinx
conda activate watershed_watershed_dev
Note that, for OSX users, it is recommended you install python.app as well, which ensures a framework python and makes matplotlib plotting cleaner. Solving this environment can take a few minutes. A current, complete, and tested conda environement for OSX is provided in workflow_tpls/environment.yml and workflow_tpls/environment_dev.yml.
Check your python installation:
python -c 'import numpy, matplotlib, scipy, rasterio, fiona, shapely, cartopy, meshpy.triangle; print("SUCCESS")'
Installing ExodusII (optional)¶
Clone the package from source
Unfortunately this package does not do regular releases except as part of the Trilinos project, and those releases are often somewhat old. So we must build from master; the python3 wrappers are fairly new. Edit the script at:
workflow_tpls/configure-seacas.sh
defining your compilers (likely clang if Mac and gcc if Linux) and pointing to your SEACAS repo and Anaconda environment installation.
Hopefully you are then able to add your installed SEACAS to your PYTHONPATH and import the python wrappers:
export PYTHONPATH=${SEACAS_DIR}/lib
python -c 'import exodus3; print("SUCCESS")'
Installing Rosetta (optional)¶
Download the Rosetta-3.0beta-py3 package:
cd workflow_tpls
mkdir rosetta
cd rosetta
wget http://www.u.arizona.edu/~ygzhang/rosettav3/Rosetta-3.0beta-py3.tar.gz
tar xzf Rosetta-3.0beta-py3.tar.gz
This should be sufficient, check the installation:
python -c 'import rosetta.ANN_Module; print("SUCCESS")'
Setup¶
Little is needed to set up the package, but likely you want to set a data directory for storing all downloaded files. Usually this is done via exporting the WATERSHED_WORKFLOW_DIR environment variable to your downloaded package directory, but it can also be placed arbitrarily in your filesystem.
Then, each time you use Watershed Workflow, you must do the following things (they may go in a bashrc or similar):
conda activate watershed_workflow
export SEACAS_DIR=/path/to/your/seacas # optional!
export WATERSHED_WORKFLOW_DIRECTORY=/path/to/your/watershed_workflow
export PYTHONPATH=${WATERSHED_WORKFLOW_DIR}:${WATERSHED_WORKFLOW_DIR}/workflow_tpls:${SEACAS_DIR}/lib:${PYTHONPATH}
Run the test suite (optional)¶
Given that you have activated your environment, set your PYTHONPATH, and successfully install the above, the following tests should all pass. They are not all fast – some download files and may be internet-connection-speed dependent. You may be happy enough just running the high-level tests:
pytest workflow/test/test_hilev.py
but you can also run the entire suite:
pytest workflow

2/22/2015 - Classes and ID's Why and When?
|
Classes and Id'd are one of the cornerstones of CSS. These show just how useful CSS can be in applying styles from one location. In traditional HTML styles such as font types, colors and sizes would be applied for each piece of copy on a page. This means that if a change to the style of the copy needs to be made the developer or site owner would have to make that change many times in many different places. CSS puts the styles in one location, making for easy changes and updates. This is where Classes play their role. Classes are named groups of one or more styles which are then applied to many elements on a web-page:
In the CSS page:
On the HTML page: Id's are similar in that they apply a named style however they are used when a style is just going to be used one time for one element.

//# Logical Operator Swift supports 3 basic logical operators (! - NOT, && - AND, || - OR). These are used to modify or combine Boolean logic values true and false.
NOT operator inverts the value of Boolean. So true becomes false, and false becomes true. This is prefix operator. Like any prefix operator there should be no whitespace between the operator and the operand.
To make it more readable, avoid using "not" in the variable names like notAllowed = true. Imagine reading !notAllowed when you are walking through the code


The Road To El Dorado
rated PG 82 minutes Dreamworks featuring the voices of Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Kline, Rosie Perez, Edward James Olmos, and Armand Assante written by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio directed by Bibo Bergeron and Will Finn
A Review by Frankie Paiva
In recent years the animation genre has greatly improved. Computers are leading the way into a new dimension of thinking about animation. Witness the deep, luscious jungles of Tarzan, or the amazing computer work in Toy Story 2. There have also been animated films aimed at adults (like Antz, Princess Mononoke, and South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut) that have seen success at the box office. But for every Iron Giant, there must be a Pokemon: The First Movie. While the images of The Road To El Dorado are beautiful, it's missing what an animated kids movie needs most: A good story, humor, and memorable characters. This movie is most likely to quickly fade away, just like the golden sun of the city.
It's 16th century Spain, and Miguel (Branagh) and Tulio (Kline) are con men trying to escape from Pamplona city guards. They stow away on a ship with the mighty Cortez and are washed up on the island where El Dorado is. The two journey through the forests and jungles until they reach the magical place. It is marvelous indeed. Gold lines everything in sight, the two are in heaven. Due to several natural occurrences and misunderstandings, the two men are mistaken as gods and are worshipped by all of the people. They are hailed with gold and riches, if they keep this up, who knows how much gold they could rack up?  Soon sexy villager Chel (Perez) is also in on the con game. A crazy priest (Assante) who believes that the gods deserve sacrifices also comes into the picture, he's just one of the many badly motivated people in this film, which is littered with potential bad guys. All of this builds up to a predictable and inevitable conclusion.
The major rave I can give to the movie is the astounding animation. The hues are vibrant and exciting, they really bring this movie to life.  I found no real interest in the two main characters, or their situation throughout the entire movie. Miguel and Tulio have little chemistry or appeal and the most interesting character (a horse with human emotions and no lines) kept catching my interest rather than the human characters. Character and plot structure are so lackluster that, if not for the bright colors, I could have easily fallen asleep amid the boring middle of the film. I think the real clincher for me on this movie would be the songs. They are so out of place and so easily forgettable that while trying to recollect a single lyric from any one of them after the movie, I came up with nothing. This is really a disappointment, considering the songs were written by Tim Rice and Elton John who did marvelous work on The Lion King. The theme may also worry some parents, the two leads lie, cheat, and steal...and usually get away with it.
My only theory as to the creation of this film was that Jeffrey Katzenberg is trying to prove to Disney that Dreamworks has just the same amount of technology behind their animation studios as the mouse ears do. But Disney films (and others like The Iron Giant) know that in order for a family animated movie to be good, it must capture the imaginations of children and maybe even some of the adults who accompany them. There is little sign of this here, the visuals are there, but the inspiration, and sense of wonder are lacking. The Road is rocky and unpaved, and certainly not filled with gold.

On the campaign trail on Saturday
Labour is to launch its youth manifesto.
After the main party leaders got a grilling from a Question Time audience on Friday night, election campaigning will continue in earnest over the weekend.
Here is what to expect on the campaign trail on Saturday:
– Labour
Jeremy Corbyn will be heading to Loughborough in the morning to launch the party’s youth manifesto.
The document, entitled The Future Is Ours, will see Labour pledging to spend an additional £1 billion on youth services, as well as committing to giving 16-year-olds the right to vote and investing an additional £250 million to build up to 500 new youth centres.
Mr Corbyn is also expected to deliver a speech on Saturday outside an Amazon depot in Yorkshire.
He will vow to tackle the “tax and wage cheat culture” of multinational companies who “rip off” workers and the public purse with measures to force them to pay their fair share.
– Conservatives
The Tories have not announced any plans for campaigning on Saturday, but are likely to be preparing for their manifesto launch.
Boris Johnson will be the last of the main party leaders to launch their manifesto, although the party has been drip-feeding policy announcements.
On Friday, the Conservatives revealed proposals for a higher stamp duty rate for non-UK residents.
– Elsewhere
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage is expected to be out and about in the North East on Saturday, the day after launching the party’s policy platform.
Mr Farage called for a cap on immigration and said all the party’s demands were underpinned by the need to secure a “clean-break Brexit” with the European Union as he unveiled the party’s “contract with the people”.
Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson will be on the campaign trail in London, while Scottish Lib Dems leader Willie Rennie will be speaking to voters in Stirling about the party’s position as the “home of remain”.


In my experience, it is not often you get a crow for Christmas. Indeed, until last month, I don't think I had been given a crow on any festive occasion. Naturally, I was duly awestruck when, on Christmas Day just past, I unwrapped from its packaging a splendid crow. I named it Tippi (of course) and, rather belatedly, here is a snap:
I am hoping that in future Tippi will be making corvine contributions to Hooting Yard. However, given that it is a mute, plastic crow, these may be few and far between.

How to complain about Go
Over the years of existence of Go programming language, the articles with its critique was always popular, bringing a lot of discussion from both sides. Recently, Maksim Kochkin even created GitHub repo with curated list of articles complaining about golang’s imperfection.
So, is it true that ranting about Go flaws is a trend nowadays? With carefully gathered links in the repository above, we can check this! :) Unfortunately, there are only 17 articles in the list, which is a bit disappointing because it’s not enough for fine statistical analysis, but we can use this anyway.
Here is a trending line for the number of Go complaints written per year:
The trending is obvious - from one in 2009 to five in 2015. Hopefully, the next 2016 year will continue this trend line.
But what I liked most about this list - is a brief resume on the major authors’ points. We can measure the popularity of users’ complaints by counting aggregated points. Again, let’s do it in our Google Sheet document, which is written in Google, and probably involves a lot of production Go code to let us enjoy this:
Let me write again the top-5 winners:
- error handling / no exceptions
- no generics
- stuck in 70’s
- no OOP
- too opinionated
Again, it’s a bit disappointing that absolute winner (“error handling”) is mentioned only 7 times. Many thousands of people are using Go every day and only 7 put their major complaint into words in the form of a blog post? This flank definitely needs more support.
If you don’t like Go, you may contribute here. Especially if you tried Go before you started complaining about its design. But how to start the article to make a proper effect? Take a look at these 5 top complaints and choose on which one you want elaborate.
Keep in mind, “error handling” and “no generics” are absolute winners - you have absolutely no excuse not to add them to your list. Next, be careful with “no OOP” because it’s easy to attack by quoting Alan Kay. “Too opinionated” is a good choice, but should be carefully argued so you don’t look like a grouchy geek rather than a thoughtful hacker. “Stuck in 70’s” works best if you want not only complain about Go but popularize another modern and objectively good programming language.
But what if it’s not enough? There are 41 more other complaints scored 1 or 2 in the list, not including ones you can make up on your own! So, to help you make a choice, here are some rules and guidelines on how to properly complain about Go, depending on you previous background and experience.
For example, if you come from…
…Python
We all love Python, so the attack vector should be on the maturity and abundance of libraries. NumPy is a must have point - Go still don’t have a scientific library of that quality. Not sure how SpaceX is able to use Go without one, but whatever, NumPy sells well.
Try not to mention mature libraries like Twisted, Requests and various solutions for solving the 10K problem. Just don’t mention it. Instead, try to disprove relatively high memory usage in Python. For example, you can say that Python memory usage after goroutines leakage is competitive with Go. Someone from Mozilla said this, so can you.
As a bonus, mention that Go slice indexing doesn’t have convenient -1 index. “Is compiled” flaw also works here, without any explanation. Just because.
…C++
If you’re C++ developer, you are in the most vulnerable position, because Go was created as an answer to the C++ problems. Which easily can be muted or presented as powerful features.
Start by demonizing GC. Everyone knows that Garbage Collection is an evil and every CPU tact matters. Even if you write simple REST-backend in C++ and it takes 6 months of your life to accomplish it - you still have speed and no-GC blissfulness. Stick with that.
As a logical continuation - tell that Go is not good for embedded. Don’t mention that authors explicitly said that it was never meant as a language for embedded. It’s a great point anyway. And if your commenters will send you links to Embd, Gobot or gomobile, just say that it’s not True Embedded™ or just disable comments.
And, of course, all rants about how Go restricting you from shooting yourself in the foot are also great here.  Why do you need such a language after all?
…Rust
Despite the fact that there aren’t many people in the wild who can claim “background in Rust”, there are still a bunch of people from C++ background who are totally in love with Rust. They didn’t try it in production or even for pet projects, but that’s not important. Pure love doesn’t need logic. So, many points valid for C++ developers will work for you also. Don’t forget “zero-cost abstraction” phrase after mentioning how evil GC is.
Cargo is considered to be a good solution for dependency management, so attack this side of Go aggressively. No chance to lose here. Also, your key points should be Go’s simple type system and lack of pattern matching. Basically, everything that differs in Go from Rust will work here. And that’s a lot, so you can write a solid longread. Or two.
…Java
After mentioning generics and exceptions, punch them in the guts and smash them by comparing Java’s IDE with Go’s IDE. Of course, there is no Go IDE, because Go is too simple to require one, but it’s bad also. Double kick. It’s “advanced” vs “primitive” and you’re a winner here.
Next, write about the lack of good debugger (integrated into IDE, of course). How can someone write even simple code without a debugger? Don’t ask if you really need debugger in Go that much as you need it in Java and why. Stay away from this subject, it’s slippery.
And the whole range of ‘features’ that you can use to make people understand why Go is bad - from lack of JVM to “lack of basic data structures”. Take your time and improvise while your IDE starts.
…Ruby
If you come from Ruby and don’t really like Go, I probably won’t help you. Go is quite popular in Ruby community and many Ruby developers, being non-arrogant and pragmatic, fall into Go pretty easily, so you’re in trouble. Even Basecamp, the guys that made Ruby on Rails, love Go and use it inside. Sorry.
…D
Without any doubts, your main argument (after generics and exceptions, of course) should be the name of Google. It’s pretty much obvious that popularity of Go is simply a result of a huge money support by Google. Of course, Google pays people a lot to write articles about Go and to organize conferences and meetups. They are so rich, that next year Go community will have 6 international conferences including one in Dubai! When D have a company that can do the same for D, the world will understand that Go’s popularity is a fake.
Also, Go is not a real system programming language. You can’t write your own memory allocator with Go. So switch to D. Please.
…Perl
Emm..
…C#
Probably the best strategy here is to attack the simplicity of Go. Simplicity equals primitivity, everyone knows in MS world.  There are so many good solutions for modern programming language theory you learn in the college course of C#! But poor people behind Go just are not aware of them. Don’t hesitate to teach them. You can’t do pretty much anything with a language that primitive as Go.
 No debugger in IDE, of course. And no DirectX support, that’s important.
…Haskell
If you come from Haskell, I shouldn’t give you any advice. You already must be a professional in mocking Go. It’s in Haskell 101 course. New Haskell books contain special chapter “How to laugh on Go”, after all.
Even if you intuitively understand that Go is way more practical than Haskell and entry barrier really matters - keep insisting that it has “objectively poor design”. Because everyone knows which language has objectively good design.
Bonus points can be earned by using thought-terminating cliché that Go authors think developers are not smart enough to understand brilliant language, which there only one and only. Benefits of using this soundbite “were demonstrated over and over”.
Conclusion
I hope this article will find its readers. In 2016, we need more articles with rants on Go - at least 6 to keep the trend. Some of the articles in the list above written by students and schoolboys, so if you just started CS class and don’t have any real-life experience - don’t hesitate to tell the world how bad Go is.
After all, the viral effect of the articles with criticism is well known - colleagues and managers send you the link as a prove that you shouldn’t use Go in production, without even reading or analyzing its content. The title is usually enough, so don’t be afraid.
Or.. you can just write some good code in the language that works best for your case.


The Logic of Syllogisms
The classical syllogisms may be proved using the following rules. The procedure can be tested below.
Subst: A universal proposition may allow a substitution in an existential proposition.
[All: x] (IF: ([x] -attr->
[A]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [B])
[All: x] (IF: G1 THEN: G2)
[x] ( ([x] -attr-> [A])
([x] -attr-> [C]) )
[x]
(G1 G3)
Ergo:
Ergo:
[x] ( ([x] -attr-> [B]) ([x] -attr->
[C]) )
[x] (G2 G3)
Contra: A universal proposition may be transformed into another universal proposition by contraposition.
[All: x] (IF: ([x] -attr->
[A]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [B]))
[All: x] (IF: G1 THEN: G2)
Ergo:
Ergo:
[All: x] ~(IF: ([x] -attr->
[B]) THEN: ~([x] -attr-> [A])
[All: x] (IF: ~G2 THEN: ~G1)
Trans: Two universal propositions may be combined by transition.
[All: x] (IF: ([x] -attr->
[A]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [B])
[All: x] (IF: G1 THEN: G2)
[All: x] (IF: ([x] -attr->
[B]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [C])
[All: x] (IF: G2 THEN: G3)
Ergo:
Ergo:
[All: x] (IF: ([x]
-attr-> [A]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [C])
[All: x] (IF: G1 THEN: G3)
Exist: An existential proposition follows from the corresponding universal proposition.
[All: x] (IF: ([x]
-attr-> [A]) THEN: ([x] -attr-> [B])
[All: x] (IF: G1 THEN: G2)
Ergo:
Ergo:
[x] ( ([x] -attr-> [A])
([x] -attr-> [B]))
[x] (G1 G2)

To start, press the "New syl" button below.
Then, try to prove that the syllogism is valid, by pressing the
other buttons. Continue until you have proved that the syllogism is
valid.


ELIZABETH (British-Indian) A review by Mark R. Leeper in bullet-list form from the Toronto Internation Film Festival
CAPSULE: The first hour is beautifully realized. In the second hour the writing gets a little muddled and the style becomes less original. Still, this story of the coming to power of Queen Elizabeth is enthralling. She is a bit too much a 1990s woman, but the photography is very good. Rating: 8 (0 to 10), high +2 (-4 to +4)
- Directed by Shekhar Kapur. Unusual to see an Indian directing a film about a British monarch. - Very powerful telling of the rise to power of Elizabeth I. The first hour was spellbinding. The director filmed with real power. By the second hour the writing had gotten a little muddled. - David Hirschfelder (SHINE) provides a very melodic score. - Many overhead shots to show the size of the buildings and smallness of people. Photography kept dark. Many scenes done in rich blacks and reds. - Somehow reminiscent of a Hieronymous Bosch painting with some of its weird and powerful images. - False move in showing Elizabeth practice an argument using a technique like would be used to show outtakes. It seems like too modern an editing technique. - Elizabeth begins as a pawn and learns to fend for herself. Deciding best way to be rid of Elizabeth, Queen Mary instructs a bishop, "Your Grace will find some proof of her treachery." - Very harrowing and haunting scene of an execution by burning. Do not bring young children. - Wolsingham (Geoffrey Rush) is Elizabeth's Secret Service and is ruthless in protecting her. - I like films of this period and few are done as well as ELIZABETH. - She may be written a little too much like a modern woman.

POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT (1994) A "Turkey of the Week" film review by Justin Felix Copyright 1998 Justin Felix
Rating: ** (out of five)
Screenplay by Mark Thomas McGee. Original Story by Fred Olen Ray. Starring Shannon Tweed, Ted Prior, Sandahl Bergman. Rated R (contains nudity, profanity, and violence) 84 mins.
  Meanwhile, a loan shark in need of a shave tries to leave his profession.
Comments: Why is this movie called POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT? It's hard to speculate. Most of this film takes place during the day, and the only thing possessing anyone is an icky, pulsating, bubbling brain thingie in a jar. In case you haven't picked up on this yet, POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT is a bottom-of-the-barrel "thriller" (I use the term "thriller" loosely here) which is really cheap and bad. The plot, which sounds like a cheesy pulp science fiction story from the 1950s, actually serves one purpose: to exploit nude women as often as possible.
Writing a movie review for a film like this proves oddly challenging. There's really not much to say. The acting is lousy; although, occasionally, the attempts at acting are so absurd that they garner a chuckle or two from the audience. Most humorous is Frank Sivero, who plays Murray, the novelist's agent. He is so horrible in this role that one can't help but be amused.  Nearly half the film is devoted to a loser loan shark who wants out of the profession, even though he has only limited relevance to the movie as a whole. The dialogue stinks. A loan shark, for instance, tells another how much he loves bimbos, which is something the audience really doesn't need to know. Everything about POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT is second rate, even the film credits. As the names of the not-so-talented film crew scrolled by at the end, Joseph Scales came up, credited as being "Assistsant to Foley Artist." Someone could have used an editor!
To be honest, the film is basically an excuse to flash frontal nudity and show some sex scenes. Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed, after all, is the star here. I suppose that if one wanted this sort of thing, he would like this movie. Why did I give this turkey two stars and not one? As a bad movie, it is unintentionally funny enough to keep someone passingly interested in the film. If you feel possessed to see POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT, however, I'd recommend you exorcise this impulse and watch something else.

[ ] create a database on the postgres cluster
[ ] upload the authorized_headings.dump on google drive
[ ] add a role in princetonansible for authorizedheading
My thought on that is to do the first migration of the postgres database by using the authorized_headings.dump file and then use the LC files with the updates (weekly) to update the database with rake tasks.
Closing this ticket, since the Hale/Eliot collection was ingested as Scanned Resources and accessed as PDFs linked to a static HTML version of the finding aid (like the Toni Morrison collection).

I did not find there to be any step in the process for generating the XML which requires a configuration file, hence I suspect that this might be some database migration problem (the process currently maps record fields to XML elements).
Thanks, James. And sorry, so do you mean this seems to be an issue with the code base? Something we should ping the ASpace listserv about?
Also, just noticed another missing translation (I think this came up before too after an upgrade?): same record that I pointed to above. You'll see it if you try to edit the record by adding another Note. And actually, in reviewing the user manual, the option with the missing translation is not supposed to be there. The only option in the drop-down menu should be Biography/History (so, not sure why they even added a drop-down feature there...) Thanks

1 dead, 2 wounded in Florida Thanksgiving strip club shooting
by Associated PressWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Thanksgiving Day fight at a Florida strip club left one man dead and two others injured.
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies found three men with gunshot wounds when they arrived at The Rose Gentlemen’s Club after 3 a.m. Once was pronounced dead at the scene and two others were taken to the hospital.
The Palm Beach Post reports the infamous strip club has had several shootings in the past.
A fight in 2016 ended with a 20-year-old fatally shot in the club’s parking lot. Another shooting in 2013 injured two men. And a club manager opened fire on two robbers in 2005.

‘Tiwari not CM face for even one shift’
BJP has given a walkover to AAP and Kejriwal: Sanjay Singh
by Staff ReporterAAP on Monday criticised the BJP and claimed that there was strong internal fighting in the BJP over the Chief Ministerial candidate.
AAP hit out at the BJP for allegedly withdrawing the name of the BJP Delhi Chief as its Chief Ministerial face of Delhi for the upcoming election.
“In India, a shift is of 8 hours, but the BJP did not even allow Manoj Tiwari to complete one shift and called back his name in 2 hours,” said AAP MP Sanjay Singh while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters.
“We welcomed the move by Hardeep Singh Puri because he is the co-in-charge of the Delhi BJP unit. We believe that if the BJP announces the face of the Chief Minister, then the people will get a proper chance to choose between Arvind Kejriwal and the BJP’s candidate. Unfortunately, the BJP is not being able to decide a face against Mr. Kejriwal even two months before the election. Different CM faces from the BJP have been surfacing,” said Mr. Singh.
He added that the BJP had given a walkover to AAP and Arvind Kejriwal.
“I think it is now just a formality for the BJP to fight this Vidhan Sabha election. We are sure that they will not be able to find a CM candidate even till the end of the election. Their entire time will be consumed by internal clashes in determining who will be their CM face. The AAP will form the government in Delhi once again in 2020 with an overwhelming majority just like it had in 2015,” he added.


Advantages already in consumer level cameras
Main article: Digital versus film photography
The primary advantage of consumer-level digital cameras is the low recurring cost, as users need not purchase photographic film. Processing costs may be reduced or even eliminated. Digicams tend also to be easier to carry and to use, than comparable film cameras. They more easily adapt to modern use of pictures. Some, particularly those that are smartphones, can send their pictures directly to e-mail or web pages or other electronic distribution.
Advantages of professional digital cameras
- Immediate image review and deletion is possible; lighting and composition can be assessed immediately, which ultimately conserves storage space.
- High volume of images to medium ratio; allowing for extensive photography sessions without changing film rolls. To most users a single memory card is sufficient for the lifetime of the camera whereas film rolls are a re-incurring cost of film cameras.
- Faster workflow: Management (colour and file), manipulation and printing tools are more versatile than conventional film processes. However, batch processing of RAW files can be time consuming, even on a fast computer.
- Precision and reproducibility of processing: since processing in the digital domain is purely numerical, image processing using deterministic (non-random) algorithms is perfectly reproducible and eliminates variations common with photochemical processing that make many image processing techniques difficult if not impractical.
- Digital manipulation: A digital image can be modified and manipulated much easier and faster than with traditional negative and print methods. The digital image to the right was captured in Raw image format, processed and output in 3 different ways from the source RAW file, then merged and further processed for color saturation and other special effects to produce a more dramatic result than was originally captured with the RAW image.
Manufacturers such as Nikon and Canon have promoted the adoption of digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) by photojournalists. Images captured at 2+ megapixels are deemed of sufficient quality for small images in newspaper or magazine reproduction. Eight- to 24-megapixel images, found in modern digital SLRs, when combined with high-end lenses, can approximate the detail of film prints from 35 mm film based SLRs.
Disadvantages of digital cameras
- High ISO image noise may manifest as multicolored speckles in digital images, rather than the less-objectionable "grain" of high-ISO film. While this speckling can be removed by noise-reduction software, either in-camera or on a computer, this can have a detrimental effect on image quality as fine detail may be lost in the process.
- As with any sampled signal, the combination of regular (periodic) pixel structure of common electronic image sensors and regular (periodic) structure of (typically man-made) objects being photographed can cause objectionable aliasing artefacts, such as false colors when using cameras using a Bayer pattern sensor. Aliasing is also present in film, but typically manifests itself in less obvious ways (such as increased granularity) due to the stochastic grain structure (stochastic sampling) of film.
For many consumers, the advantages of digital cameras outweigh the disadvantages. Some professional photographers still prefer film. Concerns that have been raised by professional photographers include: editing and post-processing of RAW files can take longer than 35mm film, downloading a large number of images to a computer can be time-consuming, shooting in remote sites requires the photographer to carry a number of batteries, equipment failure—while all cameras may fail, some film camera problems (e.g., meter or rangefinder problems, failure of only some shutter speeds) can be worked around. As time passes, it is expected that more professional photographers will switch to digital.
Equivalent features
Image noise / grain
Noise in a digital camera's image may sometimes be visually similar to film grain in a film camera.
Speed of use
Turn of the century digital cameras had a long start-up delay compared to film cameras, i.e., the delay from when they are turned on until they are ready to take the first shot, but this is no longer the case for modern digital cameras with start-up times under 1/4 seconds.
Frame rate
While some film cameras could reach up to 10 fps, like the Canon EOS-1V HS,[25] professional digital SLR cameras can take still photographs at highest frame rates. While the Sony SLT technology allows rates of up to 12 fps, the Canon EOS-1Dx can take stills at a 14 fps rate. The Nikon F5 is limited to 36 continuous frames (the length of the film) while the Canon EOS-1D Mark III is able to take about 110 high definition JPEG images before its buffer must be cleared and the remaining space on the storage media can be used.
Image longevity
Depending on the materials and how they are stored, analog photographic film and prints may fade as they age. Similarly, the media on which digital images are stored or printed can decay or become corrupt, leading to a loss of image integrity.
Colour reproduction
Colour reproduction (gamut) is dependent on the type and quality of film or sensor used and the quality of the optical system and film processing. Different films and sensors have different color sensitivity; the photographer needs to understand his equipment, the light conditions, and the media used to ensure accurate colour reproduction. Many digital cameras offer RAW format (sensor data), which makes it possible to choose color space in the development stage regardless of camera settings.
Even in RAW format, however, the sensor and the camera's dynamics can only capture colors within the gamut supported by the hardware. When that image is transferred for reproduction on any device, the best possible gamut is the gamut that the end device supports. For a monitor, it is the gamut of the display device. For a photographic print, it is the gamut of the device that prints the image on a specific type of paper. Color gamut or Color space is an abstract term that describes an area where points of color fit in a three-dimensional space.
Professional photographers often use specially designed and calibrated monitors that help them to reproduce color accurately and consistently.
Frame aspect ratios
Most digital point & shoot cameras have an aspect ratio of 1.33 (4:3), the same as analog television or early movies. However, a 35 mm picture's aspect ratio is 1.5 (3:2). Several digital cameras take photos in either ratio, and nearly all digital SLRs take pictures in a 3:2 ratio, as most can use lenses designed for 35 mm film. Some photo labs print photos on 4:3 ratio paper, as well as the existing 3:2. In 2005 Panasonic launched the first consumer camera with a native aspect ratio of 16:9, matching HDTV. This is similar to a 7:4 aspect ratio, which was a common size for APS film. Different aspect ratios is one of the reasons consumers have issues when cropping photos. An aspect ratio of 4:3 translates to a size of 4.5"x6.0". This loses half an inch when printing on the "standard" size of 4"x6", an aspect ratio of 3:2. Similar cropping occurs when printing on other sizes, i.e., 5"x7", 8"x10", or 11"x14".

Modafinil |
(pill / tablet) |
I've been using modafinil for about half a year now. I got it over the summer from an online pharamacy in 'modapro' form, and it seemed to work pretty well---but it was summer, so it wasn't really a great test. Thus my experience report will focus on my most recent experiences, ever since I obtained a prescription for Provigil about four months ago. As background: 19-year-old college student, never taken any illegal drugs (or alcohol or tobacco), but I am on the SSRI antidepressant Zoloft for legitimate reasons, and I don't mess with the dosage.
Basically, Provigil works, and it works amazingly. I haven't experienced any 'highs' or any significant cognitive or focus enhancements while on Provigil, but I _have_ experienced the advertised effect: a lack of sleepiness.
And it's important to understand this point. Provigil isn't like caffeine; it does not keep me awake. Instead, it _suppresses sleepiness_. Just half an hour ago, I was yawning every few minutes, and crawling into bed looked like such a good idea. Maybe just an hour, or four hours, I'd still have time to finish this homework set before it's due in eight hours, right? Well, we all know how that goes: I end up oversleeping, usually, and even if you don't the sleep won't be as beneficial as you might hope. And besides, it'd be much nicer to stay up and finish the work now, then sleep _after it's done and turned in_, than to sleep now and hope that I budgeted my time right for finishing it before it's due.
So, of course, I popped a Provigil. Just a single 200 mg tablet. It didn't take effect instantaneously; that this was going to be the case has definitely become clear to me over the course of my usage. But after about 30 minutes, all of that tiredness is gone---completely. No yawning; no eyes closing; and most importantly, _no desire to crawl into bed_. It's the mental aspect of Provigil that is so miraculous, and goes far beyond anything caffeine or other 'energy' supplements/drinks/etc. can do for me.
But note that I _could_ still go to sleep, completely without a problem.  In fact I sometimes even take Provigil _right before_ sleeping; more on that later. But the point is that, from a subjective point of view, _all_ that Provigil messes with is _how sleepy I feel_.
So that's the basic idea. Here are a few more things I've noticed:
That 30-minute lead time can be quite important. If I think I might fall asleep in my class (for whatever reason), I take it (at least) 30 minutes _before_ the class, not once my eyelids first start drooping. Similarly, it wears off. 4 hours seems like a good estimate. So if I'm planning on staying up for long, consecutive periods, then I try to take a new one every 3.5 hours---because that 30-minute lead time can be dangerous, especially in terms of giving in to any sudden mental cravings for sleepy-time.
It doesn't fix the _drop in mental functioning_ due to lack of sleep. So, if I'm using Provigil because my sleep cycle is off and my body/brain wants to go to sleep after only 8 hours of being awake, then I'm fine; I'll be unsleepy and functioning just like I normally would. But if I'm using Provigil to stay awake for 48 hours---which is doable, for sure---then I'm not at the top of my mental game after the 20th hour or so. This'll be noticable: even though I might not feel tired, I might not be able to do simple math problems, or I might start acting a bit strangely in social situations. And of course my _body_ might have all the 'tired' symptoms, e.g. tight muscles or the overall low-level ache that nudges me away from simple things like walking.
But speaking of using it to stay up for long times, that definitely works. I've personally used it to stay up for at least 48 hours, and very recently I used it to accomplish a 72 hour period with only 6 hours of sleep (in a single block). Certainly I wasn't doing any homework, but it was fun, and I was able to get a lot of other less mentally-demanding things done. For me, the limit is that at some point my mental functioning starts getting a bit 'fragmented,' so that I'm making too many connections between completely separate things, and I'm almost entirely unable to focus on anything even slightly complex. But what's nice is that I don't 'crash' after such a session: at most, I'll sleep for 12 hours (without an alarm!), and usually (possibly with an alarm) 8 will suffice. Very cool.
I can also take Provigil before sleep. This doesn't prevent me from sleeping, and it won't really cut short my sleep, but usually it will make waking up easier (especially if I'm targeting a short-ish nap). My hypothesis is that the Provigil stays in my system for 4 hours or so, and then if my alarm goes off during this time, my usual tiredness-upon-waking won't be able to affect me. I might still go back to sleep if I just sit back and relax, but I won't have the feeling of complete grogginess that convinces me that I really have to to sleep for a few more hours. But this isn't foolproof; there's a lot of stuff going on in the brain during the sleep/wakeup process, so it's important to just think of Provigil as an aid toward waking up, and not depend on it.
I haven't experimented with dosages much. Sometimes I try taking 100 mg (instead of 200), but I haven't done this enough times to really talk about any difference. More often I've tried taking 400 mg, but this really doesn't seem to have any more effect than 200.
Finally, how do I use Provigil? I use it for a few things:
Most often, I want to get homework done, but I've procrastinated or socialized enough that it's midnight and the homework is due mid-tomorrow. I'll lock myself in my room, start working, and take Provigil at the first sign of tiredness; repeat every 3.5 hours, and when everything's done, I might go to sleep. Usually I'm still able to function well enough to get things all done, even if I've been up most of the day.
This segues into my next use of Provigil: to fix a sleep cycle. If I've just finished a homework at 8:00 in the morning, it might be a good idea to head out for my morning exercise, for breakfast, and then maybe go to classes today. This will all be a much easier process if I have some Provigil every few hours (especially before classes). The alternative is sleeping from 8:00 through (say) 14:00, which will be pretty weird, especially since it will cascade and affect my sleep cycle for the next few days as well. With Provigil I can instead go to sleep at a reasonable time (say midnight, or perhaps a few hours before).
And then, there's 'recreational use.' This is just taking Provigil when I'd rather do something fun---be it hanging out with friends, playing computer games, watching a movie, or whatever. This is what usually spurs on sessions greater than 24 hours. And it works great there, too.
So, in summary: Provigil is a wonder drug. It's not a 'cure' for sleep, but it _is_ a cure for sleepiness, and very often that's all I need.

IEEE Xtreme Programming Challenge 9.0
IEEEXtreme 9.0 will be held 24 October 2015 00:00:00 UTC.
IEEEXtreme(often abbreviated as Xtreme) is an annual competitive programming challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members, supported by an IEEE Student Branch, advised and proctored by an IEEE member, compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems. The competition is underwritten and coordinated by IEEE's Membership and Geographic Activities department, and is often supported by partnering sponsors, like IEEE Computer Society.
