THIRTEEN DAYS A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: Essentially a remake of THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER, THIRTEEN DAYS tells the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis as a political thriller. The film is polished and engaging but not all of the stylistic decisions make sense. The tagline "You'll never believe how close we came" is a good indicator of the style and message of the film. Rating: 7 (0 to 10), +2 (-4 to +4)
My view of THIRTEEN DAYS is heavily colored by my view of the Kennedy administration and its Cuban policy in general and in this incident in particular. The crisis is just about the only major Cold War incident when I feel the Soviets were in the right. It is not easy to get me to agree with Soviets I might add. At this point in history the US had already put nuclear missiles just off the borders of the Soviet. They also had complained loudly but really only complained about a branch of the US government sponsoring an invasion of Cuba. Had the tables been reversed we would have labeled the Bay of Pigs invasion "an act of war," but I suspect the Soviets were a little fearful of the implications of so doing so and quite rightly. Acts of war really require retaliation. They could not, however, ignore a second such invasion, so they needed a deterrent to prevent it from ever happening if for no other reason than to preserve the peace. It is the Americans who say, "If you want peace, prepare for war." The Soviets looked at the missiles just over the border in Turkey and saw them as setting a precedent, they would fortify Cuba. That would seem a just act. But instead of regarding it as such it led to a head to head confrontation. If you see the film you will see all the tangible steps to diffuse the situation are taken by the Soviets. This we label "Going eyeball to eyeball with the enemy and the other guy blinked." Thank goodness he did blink when we might not have. I cannot help but feel the unsung hero of THIRTEEN DAYS is Nikita Khrushchev. This is just my interpretation, I am no expert, but it colors my reaction to the film.
THIRTEEN DAYS is the story of the Cuban Missile Crisis from the point of view of Presidential advisor Kenneth O'Donnell (played by Kevin Costner). The film is pretty much just a blow-by-blow recounting of the incidents of the crisis beginning with a spy plane flying over Cuba and seeing the nuclear missiles the Soviets had provided the Cubans. The John F. Kennedy ( played here by Bruce Greenwood) is told almost immediately. He calls in his brother Robert (Steven Culp), his closest confidant. For the remainder of the crisis the President seems to have two heads, the Jack head and the Bobby head.
Anyone with a knowledge of history knows what happened next, including the strong policy split between the military and civilians in government. The Chiefs of Staff were anxious to take on the Soviets in a war they assumed they could limit. Toward the end of the crisis we realize that the Soviets also have their own divisions in policy with hawks and doves in the Politburo. The film is a constant battle between those who want military solutions and those who want diplomatic ones with John Kennedy being indecisive between them, and rightly so. Kennedy is haunted by his reading of Barbara Tuchman's THE GUNS OF AUGUST, an account of how both sides behaving in what at the time appeared logical ways inexorably descended into the First World War. That could happen again, this time with nuclear missiles.
THIRTEEN DAYS makes some bad stylistic mistakes. The film opens with a missile firing and a nuclear explosion. Then more missile firing and more big explosions. Then more of the same. The point is, of course, that this sort of exchange is what they will be trying to avoid. Frankly I started to find this frequent visual reminder of the high stakes involved rather annoying. We all agree that this is what we are trying to avoid. We all agree that nuclear weapons are very, very bad. But to think clearly we have to avoid what Kissinger called "scaring ourselves to death." Showing the bomb so often in hellish hues of red is a patronizing emotional argument thrown in among the logical arguments of the film. A number of scenes toward the beginning seem for no reason to start out in black and white and steel blue and fade into the full color spectrum. It was not all scenes and the implication may have been we are taking this from cold-hard records and breathing life into it. But I was not sure. Whatever it was trying to do it was failing. The Boston accents were a distraction particularly because actors were not consistent in the degree of their own accents. SPARTACUS was not made in Latin with English subtitles. Director Roger Donaldson could have toned them down a little and we could have lived with the inaccuracy.
On the other hand the film does produce a great feeling of immediacy without snowing the viewer in detail he does not understand. The build of tension is very good in spite of the fact we all know how it will turn out. Part of the problem with this documentary is that it has been done before and is overly familiar. There was an excellent TV docu-drama in the mid-1970s, THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER. There was also at least one good documentary made for television. Each was better than THIRTEEN DAYS.
I think films like this that show us an important event in history in minute detail are very good, but that THIRTEEN DAYS is a highly flawed example that makes it fall short of being a really great film. I rate it 7 on the 0 to 10 scale and a +2 on the -4 to +4 scale. And I still think it picks out the wrong people to be heroes.

 The Postmodern English project is an open source, community-driven effort to build dictionaries around all the major accents of the English language. In itself, Postmodern English is a refactor of how English writing functions, which focuses on making it as phonetic, consistent, and condensed as possible. Though not the first attempt at doing this by any means, we hope that it can become the greatest. For more information on Postmodern English and the related community efforts, please visit www.PostmodernEnglish.org.
Compared to the standard British English keyboard, the Postmodern English
keyboard functions very similarly with some minor changes.
This is the layout of the Postmodern English DualStroke keyboard. As with the standard
British English keyboard, most keys only need one press to print out a character to the
screen.
Notice that some keys on the keyboard are highlighted in yellow. This indicates that these
keys have alternate options when the correct key combinations are pressed. The alternate
options are sometimes displayed below the main character in the keyboard image. Yellow
colored keys that do not have an alternate option displayed on the key are characters which
can be accented.
In order to type any alternate key on screen, one of the three “dead keys” must first be
pressed. These keys are highlighted in green in the image above, and will initially do
nothing when pressed. However, when a yellow or green key is pressed after a green key, the
alternate character will be printed to screen. Which character is printed to screen depends
both on the green and yellow keys pressed.
Take notice of the symbols printed on the green 1, 2, and 3 keys. The 1 key has both the
acute accent and the “AK” symbols on it, the 2 key has the macron accent printed on it, and
the 3 key lastly has the overring accent on it. What this means is that the 1 dead key can be
used to start some non-accentable characters in yellow (using AK, standing for alternate key,
not to be confused with the ALT key), or any character with an acute accent. Similarly, the 2
dead key can be used to start a macron accented character, and the 3 dead key can be used to
begin an overring accented character. To just type “1”, “2”, or “3”, the 1, 2, or 3 key
respectively will need to be pressed twice in a row. For example, to type the alternate
character Ԏ, you would first press the green "AK" key, and then the J key. Or if you wanted
to type Ů, you would press the green overring key, followed by the U key. It's that simple.
Typing any alternate characters is easy after some practice. Regardless of capitalization,
all of these key combinations work the same way. The following list shows all of the “dead
key” combination presses used for alternate characters:
1 + 1 = 1
2 + 2 = 2
3 + 3 = 3
1 + Ћ = Þ
1 + E = É
2 + E = Ē
1 + R = Ԅ
1 + T = Է
1 + U = Ú
2 + U = Ū
3 + U = Ů
2 + I = Ī
1 + O = Ó
2 + O = Ō
1 + A = Á
2 + A = Ā
3 + A = Å
1 + J = Ԏ
1 + N = Ŋ
1 + Ч = X
1 + W = Q (Non-Postmodern letter)
1 + Ҁ = C (Non-Postmodern letter)
The Postmodern English mobile keyboard is very easy to use. Each key you see only requires
one key press to type the character shown on it. For keys that have a small dot in the top
right corners, you can press and hold for a moment to open a popup that will allow you to
select different characters organized under that character. For example, by pressing and
holding the letter "T", you can get an option to type the letter "Է". Pressing "123" will
bring you to a numbers and symbols keyboard. On the numbers and symbols keyboard, a new
key labeled "Núm" will appear. Pressing this key will bring you to a number pad, much
like you'd see on an ATM machine. The final button worth mentioning on the main keyboard,
the "smiley face" button, will bring you to the emoji selection keyboard. Here's what the
mobile keyboard looks like:

HOTEL DE LOVE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.5 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
Australia, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 2/97 (limited) Running Length: 1:36 MPAA Classification: R (Sexual situations, nudity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Aden Young, Saffron Burrows, Simon Bossell, Pippa Grandison, Ray Barrett Director: Craig Rosenberg Producers: Michael Lake and David Parker Screenplay: Craig Rosenberg Cinematography: Stephen Windon Music: Brett Rosenberg U.S. Distributor: Live Entertainment
Over the past few years, American moviegoers have developed something of a taste for certain Australian movies. PROOF, STRICTLY BALLROOM, THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, MURIEL'S WEDDING, and SHINE have all found fans in North America, making distributors interested in acquiring more products from down under. The latest Australian import to enter the U.S. market is a misfired romantic comedy called HOTEL DE LOVE. And, while it's not bad enough for me to suggest that it should have been left where it came from, this certainly isn't a shining example of Australian cinema.
One good clue that a movie is in trouble is when a subplot is more engaging than the main story. Unfortunately, that happens in HOTEL DE LOVE. The film is about three romantic couplings, all of which undergo their ups and downs before the "happily ever after" ending. The paring afforded the most screen time is easily the least interesting -- sour, dour, womanizing Rick Dunne (Aden Young) and his soul-mate, Melissa Morrison (Saffron Burrows, of CIRCLE OF FRIENDS). The two became lovers when they were 17. Now, ten years later, they have met again and discovered that the chemistry is still there. Or, at least Rick thinks it's still there. Melissa isn't as sure.
Meanwhile, Rick's meek brother (who also happens to be our narrator), Stephen (Simon Bossell), has deluded himself into believing that he too is in love with Melissa. But, while he's busy pursuing her, one of Rick's former flames, Alison (Pippa Grandison, of MURIEL'S WEDDING) is trying to attract his attention. And, as if that wasn't enough, Rick and Stephen's parents, while preparing to renew their wedding vows, determine that their marriage may be over. All of these things occur at the Hotel de Love, a cheesy honeymoon spot with theme suites for lovers (i.e., spend the night in a room that looks like it's in the middle of a jungle).
The romance between Rick and Melissa is d.o.a. It's not interesting to begin with, and it only gets worse as the film progresses. The two leads, Aden Young and Saffron Burrows, do credible jobs, but their characters never connect on any level. The parents subplot, in addition to being horribly written, is even less compelling. On the other hand, I was intrigued enough by Stephen and Alison that I was willing to sit through the entire film to see how things turned out for them. On some level, it was probably worth the sacrifice, but I'm not sure I'd recommend that anyone else do the same.
The comedy in HOTEL DE LOVE is consistently embarrassing. The so- called "humor" isn't funny, and it puts the actors in awkward situations. It's almost painful to watch Simon Bossell trip and twitch his way through the scenes where Stephen confesses his love to Melissa. This is the kind of material that often appears on TV sit-coms, when the only way we know we're supposed to find it funny is because of the laugh track. Then there's the annoying pop music soundtrack (a staple of Australian comedies), which tries to come up with a familiar tune for every occasion.
HOTEL DE LOVE is not without its share of interesting ideas -- it just never develops any of them. The two brothers have the kind of love/hate relationship that deserves more than the handful of cursory lines devoted to it. Likewise, Stephen's hobby -- sitting around at airports counting how many travelers are met by lovers and how many are alone -- could lead to something considerably more substantial that it does. In short, most of the potentially fascinating elements of the film are snubbed because writer/director Craig Rosenberg is determined to tell Rick and Melissa's cliched story. And that's unfortunate, because he may be the only one who's interested in watching it.

You’re not a talking bear, per se, but you can sort of mangle human speech through your bear mouth, maybe?
You have two stats. Each starts with 3 points.
Bear: Use to maul stuff, run & climb, shrug off damage, scare people, and generally do bear stuff.

When you act, and the outcome is in doubt, roll a D6. If it’s equal to or under the relevant stat, you succeed. If it’s over the stat, you fail. If you’re using your bear special-skill or doing something related to your role, roll 2 D6 and pick the lowest.
Frustration: When the plan fails and you run into difficulty, move one point from Criminal into Bear.
Greed: When the plan goes off without a hitch, move one point from Bear into Criminal.
You can voluntarily move one point from Bear to Criminal by doing a flashback scene in which you and the other bears plan out the heist over coffee and cigarettes in the back room of a seedy bar. You can voluntarily move one point of Criminal into Bear by eating a load of honey.
If your criminal stat ever reaches 6, you are lured into a life of crime and betray the party.
If your bear stat ever reaches 6, you flip out bear-style and lose it. Presumable to be picked up by animal control in half an hour or so.

Birth
I was born in January, 1984 in an United States Air Force Hospital in Weisbaden, Germany.
At this time my dad worked for the Army Corps of Engineers and was stationed over in Germany for almost two years.
I have two older sisters, Katie who is 6 years older than me, and Susan who is 4 years older than me.
My parents, my two older sisters, and I returned to the United States in August 1984.
Needless to say I don't actually remember having lived in Europe since we left when I was only 7 months old,
but I've been told that I've actually visited most of the countries in Western Europe.
Early Life
The elementary school in Crestwood that I attended
After my family returned from Germany we returned to the house in Crestwood that my parents had lived in before going to Europe.
Except for when I was in college I have lived in St. Louis ever since.
Later in 1986 my younger brother Steven was born. Growing up I started attending school in the Lindbergh School District.
High School
Beginning in the fall of 1998 I started attending Lindbergh High School, the 3rd member of my family to do so.
 One of my favorite activities in high school was being a member
of the Lindbergh High School Spirit of St. Louis Marching Band. While a member I played the Baritone:
I graduated from Lindbergh High School in spring of 2002.
College
The columns on the Quadrangle of the University of Missouri with Jesse Hall in the background
In the fall of 2002 I started at the University of Missouri. Looking back on it I would say that
this was one of, if not the best time of my life. In the spring of 2006 I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science
degree in Civil Engineering. After graduation I moved back to St. Louis where I have lived ever since.
A picture that I took on a vacation to Badlands National Park in South Dakota in 2008.
Current
Currently, I am taking classes through an organization called Launch Code.
Hopefully, at the conclusion of these courses I will be able to start a new career doing coding work.

Wild Things (R) *** 1/2
Aaron Spelling meets Joe Eszterhas! Not exactly words of praise, but they are in reference to John McNaughton's erotic thriller Wild Things, which shamelessly melds the best of both trashy worlds with a most welcome sense of humor.
The Wild Things of the title are two high school girls that could have come straight from a Spelling soap: snotty, upper crust Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards) and punky Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell), the average girl from the wrong side of the tracks. These two opposites are united when they both cry rape at the hands of school guidance counselor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), who has a reputation for being a womanizer. These sordid charges set off a chain of bewildering, ever-twisting chain of events that come to entangle a surprisingly varied cross-section of Blue Bay, Florida's population.
Wild Things wouldn't be an erotic thriller without sex, and McNaughton and Peters pull off some of the most heated doozies this side of Joe Eszterhas. Most notorious of these scenes is a steamy menage a trois; on paper it would appear to be a shock tactic on the Eszterhas level, but the act plays an important role within the context of the story. The actor whose role shoulders most of the sexiness duties is Richards, and she proves to be a smoldering carnal presence, whether merely coming out of a pool or standing still in dripping wet clothing. Too bad she can't act worth a damn, proving that her painfully inept work in Starship Troopers was no fluke. The assembled media in the audience could not control their laughter during a straight-faced crying scene (think Elizabeth Berkley, but with tears), nor could they hold it in as a stiff pout remained glued to her face when Kelly is treated to a poolside grilling by detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon).
The trailer to Wild Things gives away a key plot twist (which I still won't reveal here), but even if you have seen that trailer, there are plenty of surprises up the film's sleeve. That's just one of strengths of Stephen Peters's well-crafted script, which spins plot reversals that shock without completely violating logic or common sense. Yes, some twists _are_ outlandish, and that's where his refreshing sense of humor is tonic. I don't believe Richards meant to be funny, but there is plenty of intentional humor that keeps this knowingly trashy story from taking itself too seriously. When two at-odds characters display a surprising affection toward each other, this out-of-left-field development is made more tolerable by Duquette's absolutely priceless comic reaction to it.
Humor also springs from Peters's wide, sudsy canvas of characters. Bill Murray is a hoot as Sam's neck brace-wearing shyster attorney, who has built a career on fraudulent insurance claims. Also adding quirky laughs to the proceedings are more peripheral characters, such as rich, pompous attorney Tom Baxter (Robert Wagner) and Kelly's slutty mom Sandra (Theresa Russell). It is to Peters's credit that these minor players make as distinct and lasting impressions as more prominent ones, such as Suzie, Sam, Kelly, or detectives Duquette and Gloria Perez (Daphne Rubin-Vega).
But Wild Things remains a plot-driven movie, and the story is never less than engrossing and, in the end, satisfying. And I mean the _very_ end. Don't be fooled by the "The End" card that appears to conclude the action. Even more developments--and important insight--are revealed as the final cast list unspools. The wild ride that is Wild Things is indeed manipulative trash that appeals to audiences' basest instincts, but at least it makes no bones about it--and works.

If the Unicode codepoint is an ASCII, non-control character (i.e. codepoints in the range [U+0020, U+007E]), that character is not escaped.
If the Unicode codepoint is non-ASCII or a control character (i.e. codepoints in the range [U+0000, U+001F] or [U+007F, U+10FFFF]), the codepoint is encoded as follows, taking into consideration the provided Unicode prefix character:
1. If the Unicode codepoint is in the range [U+0000, U+001F] or [U+007F, U+FFFF], regardless of the prefix character, the encoding will be of the form \unnnn. 2. If the codepoint is in the range [U+10000, U+10FFFF], and the prefix character is 'u', the encoding will be a surrogate pair of the form \unnnn\unnnn. 3. If the codepoint is in the range [U+10000, U+10FFFF], and the prefix character is 'U', the encoding will of the form \Unnnnnnnn.

Format a string with a set of format parameters, returning the formatted string. Based strongly upon: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format.
A format string consists of:
1. Any character other than "{" or "}", which are copied unchanged to the output. 2. Escape sequences "{{" and "}}", which are replaced with "{" and "}" in the output. 3. Replacement fields.
Replacement fields may be of the form:
1. An introductory "{" character. 2. An optional non-negative position. 3. An optional colon ":" following by formatting options. 4. A final "}" character.
For a detailed description of replacement fields, see fly::detail::BasicFormatSpecifier.
This implementation differs from std::format in the following ways:
The format string type is implicitly constructed from a C-string literal. Callers should only invoke this method accordingly:
fly::String::format("Format {:d}", 1);
On compilers that support immediate functions (consteval), the format string is validated at compile time against the types of the format parameters. If the format string is invalid, a compile error with a diagnostic message will be raised. On other compilers, the error message will be returned rather than a formatted string.
Replacement fields for user-defined types are parsed at runtime. To format a user-defined type, a fly::Formatter specialization must be defined, analagous to std::formatter. The specialization may extend a standard fly::Formatter, for example:
template <typename CharType> struct fly::Formatter<MyType, CharType> : public fly::Formatter<int, CharType> { template <typename FormatContext> void format(const MyType &value, FormatContext &context) { fly::Formatter<int, CharType>::format(value.as_int(), context); } };
Or, the formatter may be defined without without inheritence:
template <typename CharType> struct fly::Formatter<MyType, CharType> { bool m_option {false}; template <typename FormatParseContext> constexpr void parse(FormatParseContext &context) { if (context.lexer().consume_if(FLY_CHR(CharType, 'o'))) { m_option = true; } if (!context.lexer().consume_if(FLY_CHR(CharType, '}'))) { context.on_error("UserDefinedTypeWithParser error!"); } } template <typename FormatContext> void format(const MyType &value, FormatContext &context) { fly::BasicString<CharType>::format_to(context.out(), "{}", value.as_int()); } };
The |parse| method is optional. If defined, it is provided a BasicFormatParseContext which contains a lexer that may be used to parse the format string. The position of the lexer will be one of the following within the replacement field:
1. The position immediately after the colon, if there is one. 2. Otherwise, the position immediately after the format parameter index, if there is one. 3. Otherwise, the position immeidately after the opening brace.
The |parse| method is expected to consume up to and including the closing "}" character. It must be declared constexpr, as it will be invoked at compile time to validate the replacement field. The parser may indicate any parsing errors through the parsing context; if an error occurs, the error is handled the same as any standard replacement field (see above). Even though the parser is invoked at compile time, the result of user-defined parsing cannot be stored generically. Thus, parsing is invoked again at runtime immediately before |format|.

DONNIE BRASCO A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
Except for a superb performance by Al Pacino, Donnie Brasco is a run-of-the mill gangster movie.
Donnie Brasco is the undercover name of Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp), an FBI agent who goes undercover in the mob to gather information. His sponsor is Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino), who personally vouches for "Brasco." As the movie progress, Pistone becomes more and more like his alter ego, distancing him from his family and endearing him to Lefty and the other mob regulars.
Even though the movie is called "Donnie Brasco," the most interesting character is Pacino's Lefty. Lefty is not your typical movie gangster. Lefty has trouble at home: he loves his son, but cannot forgive him for abusing drugs. Clearly, he had high hopes for him which are now shattered. Lefty has trouble at work: when a superior is whacked and the position opens up, Lefty is passed over for promotion by a young mob go-getter (played by Michael Madsen). Early on, when Lefty is "called in" (which almost always means certain death) he reacts not with hate or anger or defiance, but with a dazed, fatalistic sense of fear and resignation. Lefty is the Willy Loman of gangsters.
Pacino plays Lefty extremely well. At first, before we know he's a loser, Pacino is a tough, hard-working gangster, but he is quickly manipulated and misled by Brasco. Lefty is in such dire need for companionship and respect that he takes Brasco under his wing a little too hastily. Pacino beams when he's schooling young Brasco in the ways of mob life; when he finally has a son again. When problems arise at work, Pacino conveys defeat and disbelief with his posture, his face, his whole body. Lefty is a tragic figure and Pacino makes that figure human.
Unfortunately, Donnie Brasco is not as much about Lefty as it is about Brasco/Pistone. Johnny Depp is good, but not outstanding. There's nothing wrong with the story, but it's nothing new. There are effective moments of tension, claustrophobia, and fear, (like when the whole gang knows there was a snitch in Florida) but there are also boring segments that should have either been left out or given some importance (like scenes of Brasco's troubled home life).
The movie raises interesting questions about trust and betrayal, about children's needs for fathers (and vice-versa), and about balancing work with family. These themes arise from the story and give it a more interesting depth. Credit screenwriter Paul Attanasio for that. But those themes don't resonate in the filmmaking. For example, Newell could have paralleled the strife between Lefty and his son with the Pistone family's loss of their father and husband -- and it seems that the story might even imply such a parallel -- but the movie never tries to makes any such connection.
In short, the movie is uneven. Pacino's performance is great and the story seems to have an interesting take on human nature, but the bland, mechanical direction make it not quite worthy of a full recommendation.
I should mention that most other reviewers have liked this movie better than I did, so if you are interested in seeing Donnie Brasco, read some more reviews for more positive hype.

There is this intersection near my apartment where quite frequently there will be someone begging for money or something. Usually they have a cardboard sign with stuff like “hungry need food” on it. Now, I’m all in favor of helping people if they really need it, but today there was a guy LISTENING TO A GOD DAMN IPOD WHILE BEGGING FOR CASH. Sigh.
So, I committed my yum support to rcd today. It rules. Snapshot builds will have them soon (tomorrow morning I guess). You can simply subscribe to the ‘rcd-snaps’ channel and do a ‘rug up’ to get it. The yum support works a lot like the apt support, so you need to use something like open-carpet.org to get access to yum repos. If people have some they would like to see in open-carpet.org, mail me and I’ll add it.
I also committed some performance improvements that will help a lot if you’re using a large package repository like open-carpet.org. Yay.

Emperor of the Fading Suns (EFS).
Introduction
An unofficial Java clone/remake/port/patch of/for the game
Emperor of the Fading Suns (EFS).
Uses original EFS data files and requires EFS 1.4 to be installed. Should work with all mods. All public classes,
that is the main classes of the source files, should have at least one sentence of documentation in this API documentation
(note that this is not an API per se, but a documentation of the sources, as Phoenix is supposed to be a full
application, minus the data files.)
Program structure
The source code is organized as follows:
-
Main program entry point: class Phoenix in package phoenix
-
Graphical user interface implementation: package gui
-
State machine for controlling GUI: package state
-
Most of game data structures and logic: package game
-
Reading in and representing data in GALAXY.GAL-files: package galaxyreader
-
Reading in and representing data in text mode data files: package dat
-
Utility classes: package util
-
Most of AI related data structures and logic (very much WIP): package ai

Experimentul Franck-Hertz a fost un experiment fizic care a furnizat suport pentru modelul Bohr al atomului, un precursor al mecanicii cuantice. În 1914, fizicienii germani James Franck și Gustav Ludwig Hertz au încercat să probeze experimental nivelele energetice ale atomului.
Astăzi celebrul experiment Franck-Hertz a adus dovada experimentală a modelului atomului propus de Niels Bohr, cu electroni orbitând nucleul cu niveluri discrete specificate de energie. Franck și Hertz au primit Premiul Nobel pentru Fizică în 1925 pentru acest experiment.
Experimentul Franck-Hertz a confirmat modelul cuantizat al lui Bohr pentru atom, demonstrând că atomii pot să absoarbe sau să cedeze energie doar în anumite cuante.
The Franck–Hertz experiment was the first electrical measurement to clearly show the quantum nature of atoms, and thus "transformed our understanding of the world". It was presented on April 24, 1914 to the German Physical Society in a paper by James Franck and Gustav Hertz. Franck and Hertz had designed a vacuum tube for studying energetic electrons that flew through a thin vapor of mercury atoms. They discovered that, when an electron collided with a mercury atom, it could lose only a specific quantity of its kinetic energy (7.8×10-19 joules or 4.9 electron volts).
These experimental results proved to be consistent with the Bohr model for atoms that had been proposed the previous year by Niels Bohr. The Bohr model was a precursor of quantum mechanics; its key feature was that an electron inside an atom occupies one of the atom's "quantum energy levels". Before a collision, an electron inside the mercury atom occupies its lowest energy level. After the collision, the electron occupies a higher level with 4.9 electron volts (eV) more energy. There were no intermediate levels or possibilities in Bohr's quantum model. This feature was revolutionary because it was inconsistent with the expectation that an electron could be bound to an atom's nucleus by any amount of energy, just as a planet can be bound to a star by any energy.

dialog
module in Electron allows you to use native
system dialogs for opening files or directories, saving a file or
displaying informational messages.
This is a main process module because this process is more efficient with native utilities and it allows the call to happen without interrupting the visible elements in your page's renderer process.
Open the full API documentation (opens in new window) in your browser.
In this demo, the ipc
module is used to send a message
from the renderer process instructing the main process to launch the
open file (or directory) dialog. If a file is selected, the main
process can send that information back to the renderer process.
const {ipcRenderer} = require('electron')
const selectDirBtn = document.getElementById('select-directory')
selectDirBtn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
ipcRenderer.send('open-file-dialog')
})
ipcRenderer.on('selected-directory', (event, path) => {
document.getElementById('selected-file').innerHTML = `You selected: ${path}`
})
const {ipcMain, dialog} = require('electron')
ipcMain.on('open-file-dialog', (event) => {
dialog.showOpenDialog({
properties: ['openFile', 'openDirectory']
}, (files) => {
if (files) {
event.sender.send('selected-directory', files)
}
})
})
On macOS you can choose between a "sheet" dialog or a default
dialog. The sheet version descends from the top of the window. To
use sheet version, pass the window
as the first
argument in the dialog method.
const ipc = require('electron').ipcMain
const dialog = require('electron').dialog
const BrowserWindow = require('electron').BrowserWindow
ipc.on('open-file-dialog-sheet', function (event) {
const window = BrowserWindow.fromWebContents(event.sender)
const files = dialog.showOpenDialog(window, { properties: [ 'openFile' ]})
})

The motivation to create a new advanced organization model for Git, came with the aim of correct some existing gaps in the current available organization tools. Following are some of these gaps: Merge on the development branch at each release deployed on Production, Merge on release branches with production fixes that could be developed during client validation, Parallel development branches and so on.
In Greek Mythology, the Hydra was a monster that possessed many heads and had regeneration ability, making two heads grow if one of them was chopped off. GitHydra brings this concept, defining several development branches, working in parallel. With this, if any problem occur on some of the branches (analogy for the Hydra heads), there will be others to support the code.
Make the merge with no problems!
Features, bugs, fixes ...
Customizable settings! Do it your way!
Parallel branchs concept.
See the tutorials provided by our team! Learn how to use GitHydra in all phases of your project!
To install Git Hydra on your Git Installation, you should put all content located unded "commons" and "core" folder, into your git-installation-folder\usr\bin folder.
We are working on a installation script and it should be available very soon.
All feature branches will start from one of the development branches. If your Hydra repository has only one development branch, it will start from there.
To start a feature, you should run the command "git hydra feature start feature_name [origin_dev_branch]". If your repository is already on a development branch, the second parameter is optional.
After you've finished your work, you can finish your feature by running "git hydra feature finish". This will merge your feature into your release branch. At this point, your development branch(es) is (are) clean with the production point.
All bug branches are created based on the release branch. These branches represent problems identified during client validation, before your code is deployed on Production Environment. Every bug branch are merged into release branch, after you've finished your work.
To start a bug branch, run the command "git hydra bug start", and to finish it, run "git hydra bug finish bug_name"
Similar to bug branches, these branches always start from your Production branch, and it represent errors found on Production environment.
There are two ways to work with these branches:
If your project does not have an exclusive fix environment to test the code from your fix development, you will find that is necessary to first merge your fix into your release Environment; to do this, run the command "git hydra fix fix_name release;
If your project have an exclusive fix environment to test the code from your fix development, after you test it, you can finish your branch, so it could be merged into all your main branches; to do this, run the command "git hydra fix finish fix_name".
This will be a main branch, that will live forever. All features, bugs and fixes will be merged into it. This branch is intended to represent the code that is being validated by someone, before its deployment on Production.
After all validation is finished and the deploy was made, you should run the command "git hydra release finish". This command will merge the code inside release branch, into your production branch and into all your development branches.

Once upon a time Little Bear went for a long walk along the river path. He was alone, and so did not know that he had gone far from home until Father Kingfisher saw him and called:
“It is time for you to turn round and go back, Little Bear! You must remember that it will soon be dark in the woods, and you might get lost, for you have no wings with which to fly home quickly.”
Little Bear looked for the sun. Sure enough, it was sinking behind the trees and leaving a long, shining trail on the river. It was time to go home.
“Thank you, Father Kingfisher,” answered Little Bear. “I was having such a good time that I forgot I was far from our little house, but I shall run back fast now. So good night!”
And away he ran. But before he had passed more than three bends of the river he saw a man fishing, and in the woods near by was a tent, with a bright campfire burning, and beside the campfire, a man cleaning a gun.
Little Bear was so frightened that he sat down and cried. Mother Skunk heard him, for she and her six children were out hunting beetles for supper.
“What is the trouble?” she asked. “What is the matter, Little Bear?”
Little Bear told her about the two men, one on either side of his path. “And I am afraid to go by them!” he wailed.
“Come, come, child, dry your eyes,” said Mother Skunk. “You have always been kind to my children, and now I will take care of you. Stop crying and follow me.”
“But won’t the men catch you?” asked Little Bear.
“Oh, no,” answered Mother Skunk, “They will not touch us. You follow me. Come, children.”
On walked Mother Skunk, slowly and comfortably, with Little Bear and her six pretty children following one behind another, as she had told them to do.
When the man who was fishing saw Mother Skunk walking by with her children and Little Bear, he sat still as a mouse. All he did was wink. The man by the fire stopped cleaning his gun when he saw Mother Skunk walking by with her children and Little Bear, and he, too, sat still as a mouse.
All he did was wink.  The men will not trouble you while we are in their path, never fear!” “I thank you, Mother Skunk!” Little Bear called over his shoulder, as he pit-patted for home as fast as he could travel. And when he reached home, he told what had happened to him and walked up and down in front of the fireplace to show Father Bear and Mother Bear how Mother Skunk had walked past the two big men, as if she were not afraid of anyone in the woods. And how the Three Bears laughed!
But when Mother Bear tucked Little Bear into bed that night, she kissed him and said:
“Let us always be thankful for good, kind friends!”

Interactive Image Creation
By the end of this exercise, you should be able to:
- Capture a container's filesystem state as a new docker image
- Read and understand the output of
docker container diff
Modifying a Container
Start a Powershell terminal in a Windows Server Core container:
PS: node-0 Administrator> docker container run ` -it --name demo microsoft/windowsservercore powershell
Install a couple pieces of software in this container - First install a package manager; in this case Chocolatey:
PS C:\> iex (iwr https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing)
Then install some packages. There's nothing special about
wget
, any changes to the filesystem will do. Afterwards, exit the container:PS C:\> choco install -y wget PS C:\> exit
Finally, try
docker container diff
to see what's changed about a container relative to its image:PS: node-0 Administrator> docker container diff demo C Files C Files/Documents and Settings C Files/Program Files (x86) ...
Those
C
s at the beginning of each line stand for filesC
hanged; lines that start withD
indicateD
eletions.
Capturing Container State as an Image
Installing wget in the last step wrote information to the container's read/write layer; now let's save that read/write layer as a new read-only image layer in order to create a new image that reflects our additions, via the
docker container commit
:PS: node-0 Administrator> docker container commit demo myapp:1.0
Check that you can see your new image by listing all your images:
PS: node-0 Administrator> docker image ls REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE myapp 1.0 9ce128f61c85 2 minutes ago 11GB ...
Create a container running Powershell using your new image, and check that wget is installed:
PS: node-0 Administrator> docker container run -it myapp:1.0 powershell PS C:\> cd \ProgramData\chocolatey\lib PS C:\> ls Directory: C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib Mode LastWriteTime Length Name ---- ------------- ------ ---- d----- 8/29/2018 10:30 PM chocolatey d----- 8/29/2018 10:31 PM Wget
The software you installed in your previous container is also available in this container, and all subsequent containers you start from the image you captured using
docker container commit
.
Conclusion
In this exercise, you saw how to inspect the contents of a container's read / write layer with docker container diff
, and commit those changes to a new image layer with docker container commit
. Committing a container as an image in this fashion can be useful when developing an environment inside a container, when you want to capture that environment for reproduction elsewhere.

We chose to use an AWS RDS Database (Postgres build) paired with AWS S3 Buckets for our data.
We created a Bucket in AWS to hold our raw data, and used Postgres to manipulate, merge, and process the data. From Postgres, data was loaded into Jupyter Notebooks to run our Machine Learning code.
In Postgres, we first standardized the data files to ensure data was formatted correctly (headers were the same, data types were the same, etc). From there, we merged the Gold Prices, Inflation Data, and US Dollar index by Month & Year to create a final data set we could feed into our Machine Learning code.
We ran into small hiccups when processing the Year and Month data in Postgres, especially as some data was daily and others were by Year / Month, but we were able to use our knowledge of data groups to process the information.
We chose to use an AWS EC2 to host our website, to create a public IP that could be accessed from anywhere and by anyone.
We chose to host using Ubuntu / Flask within the EC2 instance as a way to display out information.
We ran into issues when deploying the Flask app into EC2, especially around installing and managing the proper requirements for hosting on EC2. Working with the security groups, key pairings, and Ubuntu / linux commands were not something we spent a ton of time on in class, but through reserach and help from our instructor and TA's we were able to successfully host the EC2 intance to share our data.
After several courses of analysis, we decided to use the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network to analyze Gold Prices against Inflation and the US Dollar Index to try and predict Gold Prices through 2030
We also chose to review how the Random Forest Regressor presented data as well.
Please visit these links to view the code used to develop these networks
Outside of Amazon AWS, Postgres, and Machine Learning networks, we also utilized several other skills / applications to generate our analysis.

Bhotekoshi, a upper river part of Sunkoshi river and located at 8,012 meter altitude in Sindhupalchok, Nepal. It is used for both rafting and kayaking. National and international tourist used to visit for sightseeing of natural beautiful river, jungle, mountains. The interal visitors mostly visit Bhotekoshi in the time of Monsoon to do the rafting. In addition there are good facilty for housing and fooding as like beach resorts, hotels and home stay.

Panch Pokhari is a group of 05 hindu holly lakes located in Sindhupalchok, Nepal. It's altitude is 4,100m and also known as the 9th highest altitude wetland in the world. It has many religious importance and the number of people increased in the Janai Purnima. The main reason of being back in the sector of tourism is, it is located in the remote place and there is no facility of transportation. Visitors have to do 8-12 hours treeking to reach over there. It could be the one of the great tourist destination if concern department look around for developing the required infastructure.

Jugal Himal lies in the north east from Kathmandu and the treeking started from Melemchi, Sindhupalchok. Visitors can get a change to intract with Tamang community and can get local loddiging and fooding service on the way to Mountain. The breath taking view of waterfall and jungles can be seen while going to the trekking. It is just 4 hrs ride from Kathmandu to reach at the starting destination for trekking thus quite nearer than the other himalays.


The Samoans have embraced the American way of life wholeheartedly, which has led to a high standard of living compared to their neighbours, but also to increased crime, especially in the capital Pago Pago. This does not however tend to affect the cruising community.

Please forward details of this incident to them, as theirs is the most comprehensive source of Caribbean security incidents against sailors on the net. Please be sure to include boat name, date of incident and anchorage/port where the incident took place.
There is very heavy rainfall all year, especially from December to April, which is the cyclone season. The average temperatures are 24-31°C (75-87°F). May to November are the trade wind months and are less humid.

CORE CONCEPTS
Identity, Values and Strengths
In this post I will be exploring who I am – my core values, strengths, and identity
It is an interesting exercise to be reflecting on my values and who I am at this point... especially on a Saturday night! It makes me realise how much I have changed, not just over the years, but also in 6 months, heck even in one month! (I know 18 year old me would be asking what on earth I am doing in a library on a Saturday night, even 26 year old me is questioning it a little).
I have been privileged to be born a New Zealander, to a family who have given me love and support as I have grown (and the occasional jab here and there of course), in a country that mostly respects the rights of an individual, and although may be far from perfect, is really not a bad place to be.
The wonderful thing about New Zealand being a fairly young country is that it is a melting pot of cultures, which I believe makes myself and most of NZ rather open and accepting to others, and their own ideas of identity and beliefs. The other side of being a ‘kiwi’ is that we (speaking for myself here?) deeply dislike conflict, and go to greeeeat lengths to avoid it at any cost – something I am trying to overcome, where appropriate of course.. let’s say if the coffee is too cold I will be sure to let you know, but if you sing at an open mic night and it’s terrible, weeeeeell I’ll still clap and smile sweetly!
Growing up on a not so tropical island, isolated from the rest of the world is probably what sparked my passion for travel, that and the fact that not so far down the family line my relatives descended from Holland. While travelling I faced A LOT of ethical dilemmas … the most heart-breaking of all for me is probably the human suffering (and animal suffering inflicted by humans but that's a topic for another day!).
Most prominent was the first time I was asked for money by a kid begging on the street, this caused a lot of internal conflict – it was late at night and I was in Thailand, the kid was asking for money, and was probably only about 7 years old (If that) I couldn’t see her parents and part of me knew I wouldn’t miss the money if I gave it to her.. the other part of me wondered about what I would be encouraging if I gave her the money – would her parents keep putting her though this, would she be too tired to attend school, did she even get to attend school? It was hard to say no, and that wasn’t the last time or even the hardest, however I believed then and still do now that the chain reaction of supporting that behaviour is much worse and outweighs the short-term satisfaction of ‘helping out’. It would be better to volunteer as a teacher, or support a charity when I have the means to do so.
I constantly like to question my ideas and values – which is both a gift and a curse. It is good to be open to change and other ideas, however I feel that it is important to have a solid foundation of core values as this enables you to live with integrity and gain respect from others, especially the people who you want to surround yourself with in order to ensure you are constantly developing as a person. Some of my core ideas are to always respect others (any living organism!), recognise the importance of living in harmony with nature, and be kind.
In working with others I feel that being empathetic is a valuable trait, however having conflict resolution skills is also very important – throughout my life as a student and then as a working professional I have had to work with others. I did find that in my professional life, I found it easier to break my notions of what it meant to be ‘nice’ in that it got easier to voice my opinion if I didn’t necessarily agree with something, and knowing that although some people do not appreciate conflict, it is a healthy part of our society, it enables new ideas and change!


A former support engineer with newly acquired Data Science skills, an insatiable intellectual curiosity, and the ability to find hidden gems within large sets of unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data. Ability to utilize mathematics and statistics to explore and ability to synthesize findings. Ability to convey such findings with audiences with or without a computer science or mathematical background.
Produced Machine Learning projects covering data science and machine learning from data gathering to data cleansing to model deployment Developed best practices for cross-validation, hold-out validation, and hyperparameter tuning techniques Analyzed, interpreted, and conveyed the significance of the data created to various audiences
Produced customer learning course data analysis reports and used statistics and data science to identify common customer technical issues Created data visualizations of common technical bugs, knowledge that improved the team’s efficiency Presented key findings and important takeaways to customers of various backgrounds which created stronger e-learning courses
Developed, maintained, and troubleshooted Physics department website to record professors’ lectures and guest speakers’ events. http://carma.umich.edu/dev/CWIS-2012/
Created data analysis reports to gauge the effectiveness and information security of Colab and GE Libraries search engines- focused on competitor products, interviewed employees, heuristics using Jakob Nielsen’s Ten Principles, and usability testing. Implemented some methods Colab and GE Libraries can use to return search results based on the context of the user while simultaneously striving to restrict accessibility of sensitive GE information.
Apart from being a data scientist, I enjoy most of my time pursuing athletic endeavors. I have completed two half marathons in San Francisco and I also kayak and swim.
When forced indoors, I spend my time improving my public speaking at Toastmsters, learn how to make spicy and flavorful dishes, and spend a large amount of time exploring the latest technological advances in the data science world.


The network documentation should include descriptions of the responsibilities for network management roles.
The descriptions of the responsibilities of network management roles help designate the staff responsible for maintaining the security of the network.
Review the network documentation to make sure that it includes descriptions of the responsibilities for network management roles.
Designate network management roles, such as network administrators, systems administrators, and information security officers. Assign responsibilities to each network management role. Document the descriptions of network roles and the corresponding responsibilities. Network management responsibilities include:

Welcome to django-cloudistatic’s documentation!¶
Indices and tables¶
django-cloudistatic¶
django-cloudistatic is a Django app to upload your staticfiles to Cloudinary and serve from there. Cloudinary serves files using CDN, which will reduce the load on django server and pages will load faster.
Quick start¶
Add “djangocloudistatic” to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:
INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'djangocloudistatic', ]
Declare the following settings variables (you will get them from Cloudinary dashboard)
CLOUDI_NAME = <Cloud name> CLOUDI_API_KEY = <API Key> CLOUDI_API_SECRET = <API Secret>
Include
STATICFILES_DIRS
andSTATIC_ROOT
in settings.py file (Should be included beforeSTATIC_URL
) of your project. You may refer to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/ for details.Modify the
STATIC_URL
like this:STATIC_URL=f'https://res.cloudinary.com/{CLOUDI_NAME}/raw/upload/v1/{STATIC_ROOT}/'
Now run
python manage.py collectstatic
command to collect all staticfiles to STATIC_ROOT of your project.Finally, run
python manage.py cloudistatic
to upload staticfiles to Cloudinary. Wait for a few minutes and your staticfiles will be ready to be served from there. If you want to delete your local STATIC_ROOT (staticfiles will not be served from here now) after uploading to cloud, then you should runpython manage.py cloudistatic --deletelocal
instead ofpython manage.py cloudistatic
.

Your loyalty is impressive! Now return to your clan lord with your head held high.


Detailed docs on this are forthcoming. In brief, you use an instance of net.innig.sweetxml.SweetToXmlConverter
to turn a SweetXML input source into an input source containing plain old XML. The SweetToXmlConverter
can map between any combination of a String
, Reader
, InputStream
, or SAX InputSource
, which should allow you to interface with just about any XML parser.
Your XML parsing code probably has a line that looks something like this:
mySaxParser.parse(myInput, mySaxHandler);
Before parsing the normal XML, look first for the file extension .sxml
. If it exists, parse it like this:
mySaxParser.parse( new SweetToXmlConverter(myInput).getResultInputSource(), mySaxHandler);
And your're done! This example uses SAX, but a very similar approach works with other parsers.
