ALIEN NATION A film review by Jeff Meyer Copyright 1988 Jeff Meyer
First of all, you should go into ALIEN NATION knowing that this really isn't a science fiction picture per se. It's a "partner" cop movie (my god, we've had enough of these things to actually give it a genre) with science fiction elements, most of which are used for either a) humor, b) social commentary or c) the rather contrived finale.
Anyway, if you view it as a "partners" movie, I think it works pretty well. 50% of a such a film depends on the chemistry between the partners, and between James Caan and Mandy Patinkin, the chemistry is there. Both create characters who are complex (and in Caan's case, not particularly likable), yet who mesh very well towards the end. Caan may be crude and bigoted (at least at the beginning of the film) as a police detective who's partner is killed by a criminal who is also an alien -- aliens landed sometime in 1988 (the film takes place in 1991, and much of the humor takes place from near-future jokes), refugees from a slave world, and were integrated into society. Patinkin (recognizable only by his voice -- I've been listening to music from SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE) plays the first alien to make it to the grade of detective is partnered with Caan, who wants his help in tracking down his ex-partner's killers. He nicknames Patinkin's character "George" (an in-joke to Patinkin's musical role, I'd bet), since the indoctrination site gave him the name "Sam Francisco", and you can guess what happens next: in the course of the investigation, they gain grudging respect for one another, become friends and eventually, partners. Patinkin's gentle sense of humor, his immigrant's love of America (to the aliens, America truly is a land of freedom), and his outrage as the plot unfolds, endears him both to us and to Caan. These guys work so well together, I'd like to see them in a sequel with a somewhat better plot.
The plot is, really, cops vs. drug kingpins. Frankly, I usually find drug kingpins rather tired, overworked villains, but Rockne O'Bannon (the screenwriter) makes them, and the drug they sell, repugnant through Patinkin's reactions and his explanation of what the drug was used when his race were slaves. O'Bannon also does a lot of quality dialogue, and between that and the performances by the two leads, the movie was a thumbs-up experience. There's a lovely line by Patinkin about the difference between America's ideals and how they are practiced by its citizens....
Its greatest failing is in the last fifteen minutes, where the crime plot was dropped and another, more hackneyed one is appended. I don't want to give it away, but suffice it to say that this would be a fine time to head to the restroom or stop by the concession stand -- you'll be able to predict what's going to happen, and you'll be right.
Conclusion: it's flawed by its ending, but as an example of its genre, I found it satisfying and a nice twist on several conventions. Special kudos to Caan and Patinkin for rising above the low points of the scripts and making the film enjoyable and (ha-ha) human. A good matinee-price film.

THE WIDOW OF ST. PIERRE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Lions Gate Films Director: Patrice Leconte Writer: Claude Faraldo Cast: Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil, Emir Kusturica, Philippe Magnan, Michel Duchaussoy
When Texas Governor George W. Bush and his Pardons Board refused to reconsider the death sentence against Karla Faye Tucker, a national debate ensued and continued for, oh, about a couple of days after her execution. Though Tucker committed an atrocious axe-murder in her youth while high as a kite, she became a model prisoner, counseling others and proving among other things that she would be no threat to society even if released. Patrice Leconte explores this theme of murder and redemption, particularly society's ways of dealing with one particular killer who, like Karla Faye Tucker was out of his mind (on liquor) when he committed a senseless crime. His "The Widow of St. Pierre," following on the heels of the director's "The Girl on the Bridge," "Ridicule," "Monsieur Hire" and other works shown in American art houses during the past dozen years, joins two of France's greatest performers for the first time. Daniel Auteuil ("The Girl on the Bridge," "Lucie Aubrac") performs in the role of a captain in charge of the jail of St. Pierre, a godforsaken dot on the map off the coast of Nova Scotia and belonging to France in 1850, the scene of the action. His idiosyncratic wife, known simply as Madame La (an appellation used to avoid calling her Madame La Capitaine), is played by Juliette Binoche ("Alice et Martin," "The English Patient"). The deadliest character is not the murderer but the eponymous widow, French slang for the guillotine.
 Condemned to death by a court led by a judge appointed by Paris, Neel is taken under the wing of the captain and particularly of the wife whom the official loves very much. While the residents of the island wait for months for France to ship a guillotine over to St. Pierre by way of Martinique, Madame La refuses to allow the condemned to rot in jail but instead uses him to cultivate her greenhouse, later lending him out to neighbors for odd jobs. After one heroic deed, Neel becomes the most popular guy in St. Pierre, so much so that only the French- appointed governor (Michel Duchaussoy) and a couple of his cronies want to carry out the sentence required by law.
While examining the theme of redemption and the effects of kind treatment of unfortunate fellows as splendidly as did only one other movie this year--"Quills", which illustrated the marvelous effects of an Abbe's kindness on the prisoners at a French asylum for the insane--Leconte uses gestures as much as words to survey the nature of a government in crisis, the boredom of life on a barren stretch of land, the ways that the powers that be can corrupt a person with money, and the courses of action that people can take when in love or, conversely, deprived of devotion. Leconte's photographer, Eduardo Serra, depicts the tough lives led by the people of St. Pierre by contrasting the dull, foggy air of the town with the power of the ocean as it rages against the jagged rocks.
Unlike so many French movies, the dialogue from Claude Faraldo's script is relatively sparse, giving all the more power to the expressions on the faces of the craggy men and their bored wives, for whom this murderer provides the excitement they crave. Auteuil shows us a character whose love for his horse is more powerful than his fear of the French government, Binoche how passion for a husband can pilot her toward good deeds for others, and Kusturica how a a simple man, loyal to a fault toward his benefactors, can be a prince among men. "The Widow of St. Pierre" is as razor- sharp as its eponymous widow is dull and rusty, an examination of some of life's major themes explored through the lens of some master story tellers.

PHILADELPHIA A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (Linear 0 to 10): 8.4
Date Released: 12/22/93 (NY, LA); 1/14/94 (elsewhere) Running Length: 2:05 Rated: PG-13 (Mature themes, language, brief nudity)
Starring: Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Jason Robards, Mary Steenburgen, Antonio Banderas, Lisa Summerour, Joanne Woodward Director: Jonathan Demme Producers: Edward Saxon and Jonathan Demme Screenplay: Ron Nyswaner Music: Howard Shore Released by TriStar Pictures
Some will argue that a film, being essentially a means of entertainment, can do little to change a national consciousness. Others, citing the power of the medium, will claim that motion pictures possess this rare and extraordinary ability. These two opposing viewpoints are about to be put to the test with two films that, while different in so many ways, have a number of fundamental similarities. The first is Steven Spielberg's SCHINDLER'S LIST. The second is Jonathan Demme's PHILADELPHIA. For viewers of the latter movie, the question is not whether they sympathize with Tom Hanks' AIDS-afflicted, gay character, but whether that sympathy opens up a different perspective on the victims of the disease in the real world.
Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks), a hotshot law graduate from Penn, has a promising career ahead of him when he discovers that he has AIDS. Choosing not to tell his mentor at the firm, Charles Wheeler (Jason Robards) of either his disease or his sexual orientation, Andrew moves forward with his case load as a senior associate, intending to fulfill his duties for as long as his handicap permits. But the partners learn of his affliction, and while their dismissal is couched in terms of incompetence, Andrew knows that his AIDS and homosexuality are the root cause. He takes his case to a number of lawyers, including ambulance- chaser Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), none of whom is willing to represent him--until Miller has a change of heart, recognizing a hint of familiar discrimination in the way Andrew is being treated.
The point has been made numerous times that this is the first "big name, big budget" AIDS motion picture to come out of Hollywood, so I won't belabor the point. It's a good start, and some might argue "too little, too late," but for there to be any hope of this industry having an impact, more films of this caliber must be released. PHILADELPHIA is unlikely to succeed as a lone cry in the wilderness, however impressive it may be.
Tom Hanks gives what has rightly been called "the performance of his career," lending humanity and vibrancy to the victim, and portraying him in a manner that eschews maudlin, obvious tactics to garner the audience's sympathy. We feel for Andrew Beckett because he seems to be a genuine human being, not because the script and production have twisted circumstances to manipulate our emotions.
With all of the plaudits garnered by Hanks, the work of Denzel Washington, while less obvious, is as impressive. Washington plays the "everyman," the on-screen representation of those in the audience who harbor homophobic tendencies. He, like many viewers, is forced to examine his bigotry, and reassess his feelings about the gay community, as he comes to know them as people rather than symbols and caricatures. Its also ironic that most of PHILADELPHIA's humor comes through Washington, the recognized dramatic actor (as he passes out business cards), rather than through Hanks, known better for comic roles.
Curiously, Jason Robards has one of the worst-acted and the best-acted scenes in the film. Near the beginning, after being served a summons demanding his appearance in court, his character rants that Beckett is the criminal, having "brought AIDS into our offices." The entire speech rings false, like something out of an anti-homosexual pamphlet. On the other hand, Robards redeems himself later in the film when Beckett takes the witness stand--he speaks no words, but his expression is descriptive enough. Suddenly, winning or losing doesn't seem as important.
As far as the other supporting performers are concerned, Mary Steenburgen is a relative non-entity as the prosecuting attorney, Joanne Woodward is adequate as Beckett's supportive mother (it's nice to finally see a family that stands behind someone with AIDS, as opposed to the usual histrionics), and Antonio Banderas is marginal as Miguel, Beckett's companion (there's never any chemistry between the two supposed lovers).
If there's a scene that will earn Tom Hanks the Academy Award, it's where his character gives an impassioned translation of the aria "La Momma Morta" while his lawyer looks on in stunned silence. Here Andrew expresses his acceptance of death even as he acknowledges his continuing passion for life, and Miller feels fear as he recognizes that his client no longer disgusts him. This scene is PHILADELPHIA's watershed.
The sequences that work best are usually those that happen away from the court: Miller meeting a gay Penn student in a grocery store, Miller at a bar watching himself on TV, Beckett refusing an AZT treatment, and the aforementioned Maria Callas aria. Unfortunately, there are too few of these moments, with an inordinate amount of time spent in front of the judge. PHILADELPHIA doesn't work well as a courtroom drama--some of the scenes are necessary to underline certain points, but they go on too long. More character development, especially involving the complex relationship between Beckett and Miller, would have elevated the picture's power.
Symbolism is crucial to the story; the most obvious example is the role of physical space between Beckett and Miller. Before the AIDS revelation, they are shoulder-to-shoulder, two lawyers on opposite sides. Then Beckett drops his bombshell, and Miller moves to the other side of the room. As the film progresses, they grow gradually closer, sitting across a table at a library, then side-by-side in court. Finally, past the moment of Miller's crisis of conscience, he drops all barriers by lifting an oxygen mask to Andrew's face, momentarily touching flesh to flesh.
PHILADELPHIA was originally the movie's working name, but Demme stated that once he saw the preliminary cut, he couldn't think of a better final title. The film actually has three stars--in addition to Hanks and Washington, the city itself is shown in a favorable light. The opening montage to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "The Streets of Philadelphia" is evocative.
Even as it stands, with its faults, PHILADELPHIA is still a remarkable expression of honesty and openness. Miller's court statements about this country's fear of homosexuals are frank and to-the-point, and there are other observations with equal merit. The story is timely and powerful, and the performances of Hanks and Washington assure that the characters will not immediately vanish into obscurity. And as long as people remember, there's a chance they can change.

RESUME


Part of having a website, of putting ideas or products out into the world, is to have people visit. It may be obvious to the web designer what the point is--buy clothes or read and respond to blogs -- but that may not be what is happening when users come to the page. Google Analytics and Optimize are very helpful tools for web developers to know whether visitors are engaging as expected. And if they aren’t, it allows us to experiment with additions and subtractions to help users get where we hope they should go.
Defining goals and setting them up in Google Analytics
My website - User Science Journal - is a series of blogs on user experience. My goal was to get users to visit and spend time on the website and read some blogs. More specifically, I chose the following 2 goals:
Setting Up a Goal In Google Analytics
It was surprisingly easy to set up several goals in Google Analytics. I went to my analytics page for my project and clicked on the Admin gear on the left side of the screen.
Once there, I went to the Goals button on the right.
By clicking on the red button for New Goals, it took just 3 steps to set up the goals. For my project, I chose Custom, Duration, and then set the goal for 3 minutes.
I repeated the steps for Pages/Screens per view and selected 2.
Tracking my experiment
I waited a week and reviewed the activity. Last week I had 3 goal completions:
A closer look showed me that the pages people visited were the home page, about page and blog post 2.
With this blogging website, my aim is to have people visit and read the blogs. It seemed strange to me that Blog post 1 wasn't getting traffic or taking people to the next blog. I realized on closer viewing that some of my blog posts had a link to “home” at the top to get readers back to the home page for another view, but my first few blog posts were missing that. I got a little ahead of myself and fixed it and then nudged my visitors to visit again. It was only then that I realized I should have waited to fix it as my test--does adding the button for home get people to stay longer and read more blogs?
For this activity, my hypothesis and test had to be a little backward--the test would be to recreate the problem and see if people spent less time on the page without the fix.
Create an A/B test
For this A/B test, I decided to see whether removing a home page button from the first blog post would cause people to leave the page and not explore the rest of the website.
I created an Optimize account and created a new experiment: removing the home button.
I set up a variant to test a blog page without the home page link. And I targeted it to go to people in Seattle at 50% weight--half of my viewers would see it with the home page button on Blog 1 and half would not see it.
I set my objectives to be the same as last week's goals:
I had a little trouble getting Optimize to run. I realized after waiting several days and having my users test, that I wasn’t getting any variation in the “home” button. It was always there! I then noticed that my experiment wasn’t running because I hadn’t added the Optimize snippet to my code. It took me a while to find the specific container ID that I needed to add. It had come in an email, but it was 10 characters long and the instructions were to use a 9 character code.
Results
My hypothesis was that if a user went to a blog page but had no simple way of getting back home to review the list of other blogs, that they would bounce.
My experiment showed that while I was able to get the Optimize tool to work I didn't get enough user input to find a clear leader.
A closer look showed that I had 3 session visits by users, and that I had one experiment conversion with the original version (with the Home button present) and 0 conversions with the varient (no Home button). See the figure below. With so few users, it's hard to know whether having the Home button missing on the first blog impacted their visit. But it doesn't hurt to have it, so I will end the test and make sure that it is visible again.
My next steps to optimize my page would be to promote it more on social media and to add some features that would engage visitors, such as comments sections for each blog, and a way for visitors to sign up to get the blogs sent to them in an email when they get published.
Conclusion
Spending time in Google Analytics and Optimize shows me just how sophisticated and nuanced tracking user data can be. Whether learning about who comes to the site, or how to navigate the site better when they are there, there’s a lot of data that can be collected to make sure visitors are easily moving around the site, engaging and hearing from me when they are not on the site.

I'm a young adult from Eldoret,I studied Informatics at the University of Eldoret and graduated in the year 2018.Thereafter I worked as an it support intern at Ampath for 9 months then i had to be released due to insuffient funds when the corona virus pandemic began. I would describe myself as a passionate ethusiastic individual with a high affinity for problem solving and socializing. I find alot of fulfilment in being able to create solutions to problems people face.I love interacting with people and ,oh yes I love technology and coding.
I enjoy how an individual is able to create art on the browser by making websites that is why i aspire to become a frontend developer. I came to Moringa to learn how to do this and actually be able to make websites and programs that meet users needs and actaully help solve issues that people face on a day to day basis and in turn having gained adequate skills, be able to draw both social and economic value from programming and web development, for both my self and the community around me.

What is the greatest common divisor of A and B?
Another way to say this is:
\gcd(A, B) = {?}
GCD
The greatest common divisor is the largest number that is a factor (or divisor) of both A and B.
The only factor (divisor) of 1 is 1.
The factors (divisors) of A are A_FACTORS.
The only factor (divisor) of 1 is 1.
The factors (divisors) of B are B_FACTORS.
Thus, the greatest common divisor of A and B is GCD.
\gcd(A, B) = GCD

1. Pass Women’s Reservation Bill in LS: Sonia
In news:
- Congress President Sonia Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to get the long-pending Women’s Reservation Bill passed in the Lok Sabha.
Basic Information:
Women’s Reservation Bill [The Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, 2008]
- Commonly known as the Women’s Reservation Bill, it seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. Introduced by the UPA-I government in May 2008, it also provides that one third of the total number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be reserved for women of those groups. Similar Bills have been introduced thrice before in the late 90’s but lapsed with the dissolution of their respective Lok Sabhas.
Highlights of the Bill
- The Constitution (One Hundred and Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2008 seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. The allocation of reserved seats shall be determined by such authority as prescribed by Parliament.
- One third of the total number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be reserved for women of those groups in the Lok Sabha and the legislative assemblies.
- Reserved seats may be allotted by rotation to different constituencies in the state or union territory.
- Reservation of seats for women shall cease to exist 15 years after the commencement of this Amendment Act.
Key Issues and Analysis
- There are divergent views on the reservation policy. Proponents stress the necessity of affirmative action to improve the condition of women. Some recent studies on panchayats have shown the positive effect of reservation on empowerment of women and on allocation of resources.
- Opponents argue that it would perpetuate the unequal status of women since they would not be perceived to be competing on merit. They also contend that this policy diverts attention from the larger issues of electoral reform such as criminalisation of politics and inner party democracy.
- Reservation of seats in Parliament restricts choice of voters to women candidates. Therefore, some experts have suggested alternate methods such as reservation in political parties and dual member constituencies.
- Rotation of reserved constituencies in every election may reduce the incentive for an MP to work for his constituency as he may be ineligible to seek re-election from that constituency.
- The report examining the 1996 women’s reservation Bill recommended that reservation be provided for women of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) once the Constitution was amended to allow for reservation for OBCs. It also recommended that reservation be extended to the Rajya Sabha and the Legislative Councils. Neither of these recommendations has been incorporated in the Bill.
Context:
- The government’s flagship skilling scheme, the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), is struggling to achieve end-results
- Data reveals that out of a total 30.67 lakh candidates who had been trained, less than a tenth — 2.9 lakh candidates — had received placement offers.
Reasons:
Lack of quality training: Information asymmetry regarding the demand-supply dynamics of skilled candidates
Plans ahead:
- Centre is now planning to shift focus to district-level schemes to yield better results in the short-term for its skilling initiative.
- Under the relaunched PMKVY, which started October 2, 2016 placement tracking has been made mandatory
- Now, the focus is going to be on greater participation of states
- And bringing district collectors into the picture to ensure delivery at the district level and monitoring of skilling schemes at the ministry level.
Basic Information:
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana:
- Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is the flagship scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The objective of this Skill Certification Scheme is to enable a large number of Indian youth to take up industry-relevant skill training that will help them in securing a better livelihood. Individuals with prior learning experience or skills will also be assessed and certified under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

1. 50 nations ink UN nuclear ban treaty opposed by big powers
In news:
- Fifty countries signed a treaty to ban nuclear weapons, a pact that the world’s nuclear powers spurned but supporters hailed as a historic agreement nonetheless.
- Brazil was the first country to sign onto the ban, followed by nations from Algeria to Venezuela.
- It needs 50 ratifications to take effect among the nations that back it.
- This treaty is an important step towards the universally held goal of a world free of nuclear weapons
- The U.S., Britain and France said the prohibition wouldn’t work and would end up disarming their nations while emboldening “bad actors”
- Supporters of the pact say it’s time to push harder toward eliminating atomic weapons than nations have done through the nearly 50-year-old Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.’
Modus operandi:
- The members would be barred from developing, testing, producing, manufacturing, otherwise acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons “under any circumstances.”
Basic Information:
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
The objectives of the NPT are as follows:
- Prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology.
- Promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
- Nuclear disarmament.
- The three objectives viz. non-proliferation, disarmament, and the right to peacefully use nuclear technology, are sometimes called three pillars of NPT.
Parties
- The treaty entered into force in 1970 and in 1995 it was extended indefinitely. It has 190 parties.
- All the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are among its members.
- India, Pakistan & Israel have not signed the treaty.
- North Korea acceded to the NPT in 1985, then withdrew in 2003
2. Sushma slams Pakistan over terror funding
In news:
BRICS Ministerial Meeting
- Held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly
- External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said militants continue to find shelter in countries using terrorism as an “instrument of state policy”. Terror groups draw sustenance from support systems in South Asia
- The Minister called on her counterparts from BRICS to condemn efforts to sponsor the menace.
- Swaraj also called for terrorists’ funding, their weapons supply, training and political support to be systematically cut off.
- Swaraj also called for early conclusion of the CCIT while urging all the BRICS countries —— Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa —— to condemn efforts, including by states, to use religion to justify, sustain and sponsor terrorism against other countries.
Projects in Afghanistan
- India has announced to take up 116 “high impact community developmental projects” in 31 provinces of Afghanistan
- The decision was taken during a meeting between Ms. Swaraj and Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani
- Over and above these high impact projects, India has also offered assistance for six new projects under granting aid assistance from India. One of them is low-cost housing for returning Afghan refugees, road connectivity, national Park and economic development
Basic Information:
Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism
The CCIT provides a legal framework which makes it binding on all signatories to deny funds and safe havens to terrorist groups. The original draft that was tabled in 1996 and discussed until April 2013, as, included following major objectives:
- To have a universal definition of terrorism that all 193-members of the UNGA will adopt into their own criminal law
- To ban all terror groups and shut down terror camps
- To prosecute all terrorists under special laws
- To make cross-border terrorism an extraditable offence worldwide.
3. US Senate passes $700 billion defence spending bill
Context:
- The US Senate has overwhelmingly approved the nearly $700 billion defence spending bill for 2018.
- Bill seeks to develop a strategy for Indo-US defence cooperation and adopts a tough approach on Pakistan’s action against terror outfits like the Haqqani network and the LeT.
- As part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2018, the legislation also approved several India-centric amendments aimed at increasing the defence relationship between the two countries and thus enhancing the strategic partnership between the two countries.
Provisions relating to India:
- An amendment that calls on the Department of Defense to reassess its approach to partnering with India and to appoint an individual to oversee this process.
- Another amendment which asks the Pentagon to develop a strategy of defence cooperation between the US and India.
Provisions relating to Pakistan
- The bill approves $700 million in coalition support fund to Pakistan as a reimbursement to the services rendered by Islamabad towards America’s fight against terrorism.
- However, $350 million of this amount cannot be released unless the Defense Secretary certifies to the Congress that Pakistan has taken satisfactory steps against terrorist organizations like the Haqqani network and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
- Pakistan is required not provide military, financial or logistical support to specially designated global terrorists operating in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
- Along with this Pakistan must show that is not using its military or any funds or equipment provided by the US to persecute minority groups seeking political or religious freedom, including the Balochi, Sindhi and Hazara ethnic groups and minority religious groups, including Christian, Hindu and Ahmadiyya Muslims, it said.
4. Solving the Afghanistan riddle
Context:
- Recent announcement of US Afghan Policy. The policy envisages more pressure on Pakistan, no early U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, robust military action on counterterrorism and a greater role for India.
- The US has never been so critical of Pakistan publically.
- The issue today is how the U.S. strategy differs from the past in terms of addressing concerns regarding Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan, particularly in view of a shift in Pakistan’s strategic priority towards China.
- Present Situation in Afghanistan continues to be fragile, though Taliban has made some gains but at the same it is not a cohesive movement and has several divisions in it.
- Also, since 1747, Afghanistan’s territorial borders have remain unchanged unlike those of Pakistan and Central Asian Republics.
India-Afghanistan ties
- On January 4, 1950, India signed a Treaty of Friendship with Afghanistan which also permitted opening of consulates in each other’s country.
- Afghanistan signed its first strategic partnership agreement with India in 2011.
- India’s assistance to Afghanistan amounts to $2 billion and it covers broad spectrum of areas like political, security, trade and economic cooperation and capacity development.
- India has always wanted a democratic, stable and strong Afghanistan able to decide its own future and it supports its quest for reconciliation.
- Various surveys show that the Afghan people ranked Indian assistance as the most suitable because of the positive role India played in the development programme of Afghanistan and they appreciate that India has never interfered in their internal affairs.
- India can assist Afghanistan in training and supplying them much-needed spare parts.
- Asia is a region of energy and it needs to be exploited for the benefit of Afghanistan and surrounding areas , TAPI( Turkmenistan Afghanistan Pakistan India) pipeline is an example.
- SAARC and SCO should encourage regional economic cooperation and completion of Cahbahar will help Afghanistan in trade with other countries.
- It is essential to take action against terrorism and insurgency and treating Taliban’s Quetta Shura and the Haqqani network as one.
- Efforts relating to counter narcotics needs to be redoubled because Afghanistan remains the world’s largest producer of opium accounting for 90% of the world’s supply.
- Regional powers must work closely without interfering internally for a stable Afghanistan. India needs to coordinate with Russia and Iran.
India-Pakistan relations and its impact on Afghanistan
- Unfair attempts have been made to link the Afghan issue with India-Pakistan relations. There is no connection.
- Pakistan-Afghanistan relations since 1947 have always been thorny and replete with problems except during the brief Taliban era.
- India and Afghanistan have never exploited their friendly bilateral relations to harm Pakistan. This is clear from-
- In both the 1965 and 1971 wars, Afghanistan was non-committal and did not support India.
- On the Kashmir issue, Afghanistan has not publicly supported India.
- India has not entered the debate on the Durand Line.
- Neither India nor India-Pakistan relations were responsible for the situation which prevailed in Afghanistan following the departure of the Soviet troops.
- The U.S. operation to kill Osama bin Laden and the recourse to drone attacks in Afghanistan were due to the situation prevailing there, which had nothing to do with India or India-Pakistan relations.
- When in 2010 Pakistan shifted over 100,000 of its security forces from its eastern border to its western border with Afghanistan, India did not exploit the situation.
1. Cabinet to soon take up $5 bn convention centre project
In news:
Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (ECC):
- The Union Cabinet will soon take up the proposal for a “$5 billion-worth world-class and state-of-the-art” ECC in the national capital.
- It will be the largest such facility in Asia when completed by 2021.
- According to the officials, the Cabinet will consider for discussion a “note on approval of the project and formation of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to implement the same”.
- The SPV will be a 100% subsidiary of Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor(DMIC) Development Corporation.
2. A big broom-On crackdown on shell companies
Context:
- The decision by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to crack down on so-called shell companies, disqualify select directors in these entities and debar them from taking board positions for a specified period.
- According to the ministry, this would help in clean up of many firms set up in many cases with less than bona fide intent and having virtually no business operations.
Key Points:
- Naming and Shaming decision of the Union government has a real danger of tainting genuine firms and individuals.
- For example, SEBI also implemented similar decision and in a way it hastily imposed trading curbs on some entities which were given relief by Securities Appellate Tribunal recently.
- The sheer scale of the task at hand, with the ministry identifying more than 1.06 lakh directors for disqualification, it is imperative that there be great care and diligence to ensure that the authorities do not penalise anyone who for non-mala fide reasons failed to comply with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act.
- Many entrepreneurs find it easier to register a firm than it is to dissolve or wind it up.
- In public limited companies, a major portion of the extralegal activities including price rigging of shares, insider trading and other questionable practices have been found to occur in the large mass of smaller companies
- Various problems like illiquidity, weak governance and regulatory oversight have combined with the difficulty in delisting to make these firms prime targets for money launderers.
- The Centre and the regulatory arms need to address the underlying systemic shortcomings that have allowed so many companies, to become vehicles of malfeasance.
- Making the process to dissolve or delist online will improve governance and ensure that all stakeholders have an enabling atmosphere to operate freely.
- The government’s move to address banking sector stress by adopting the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is a step in the right direction.

PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
Jeremy Podeswa's The Five Senses could have been a gimmicky mess, but the writer/director's film about five people who each have one wayward sense is a remarkable triumph of filmmaking. Like Krzysztof Kieslowski's Decalogue, which focused on each of the Ten Commandments, Senses' subtle approach doesn't hit you over the head. With five interwoven stories that border on the ironically tragic playing out over a three-day period, Senses plays like Magnolia directed by Atom Egoyan.
Richard (Philippe Volter, who was in Kieslowski's The Double Life of Veronique) is an ophthalmologist who is slowly going deaf. His neighbor Ruth (Gabrielle Rose, who was in Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter) is a massage therapist who can't manage to touch her daughter Rachel (Nadia Litz) emotionally. Rachel, an ugly-duckling teen dropout in search of her own identity, is a bit of a voyeur, but can't manage to keep her eyes on a three-year-old left in her charge. Bisexual housecleaner Robert (Daniel MacIvor, Beefcake) thinks he can smell love and arranges meetings with all of his former lovers to sniff out a lifemate. Robert's best friend Rona (Mary-Louise Parker, Goodbye Lover) makes intricately designed cakes that taste like cardboard.
The stories are pulled together by the disappearance of the three-year-old (Elise Francis Stolk). The most interesting of the five stories involves Rona's relationship with Roberto (Marco Leonardi), an Italian chef she met while vacationing in Europe. As Senses opens, Roberto is coming to visit the skeptical and suspicious Rona, who believes that he may be using her to gain citizenship. Roberto can't speak English, and Podeswa doesn't subtitle his dialogue until the end of the film so, like Rona, you never know his true intentions.
It's fun trying to guess which character matches each particular sense. When you first see Richard the eye doctor, you assume he'll handle the sense of sight tale (he doesn't). When Ruth is shown giving massages, you assume that her story will feature the sense of touch (she does, but not in the conventional way). I also enjoyed the way that Podeswa begins the film inside of a deprivation chamber in Ruth's office.
Senses was named Best Canadian Feature Film at last year's Toronto International Film Festival (the film was shot in and around Toronto), and was nominated for nine Genie Awards (the Canandian equivalent of the Oscar) where Podeswa took home the trophy for Best Director. Senses was elegantly lensed by cinematographer Gregory Middleton (Better Than Chocolate) and features a handsome, haunting score from Alexina Louie and Alex Pauk (Last Night).

Guess the answer to the riddle!
Guesses remaining:

A simple wind-chime actor
The PentaActor simulates a wind chime with controllable tonal center,
randomness, density, and one user-defined parameter (typically duration).
It does not make sound itself, but calls a user-defined message group for each
"chime"; this message group does the actual sound production.
To use the PentaActor, load pentatonic.so and create an actor of type PentaActor.
PentaActor messages
In addition to the messages understood by all actors, the PentaActor understands the following messages:
- SetMessageGroup hActor "name"
- Set the sound-producing message group to the one with
name name. The parameters sent to the message group are:
- *0 = frequency in Hz
- *1 = amplitude
- *2 = value
- *3 = random value in the range +-0.9, useful for panning.
The message group may of course ignore any or all of these
parameters.
- SetIrregularity hActor x
- Set the irregularity of chime-occurrences. 0 or less
produces a steady pulse; greater values of x produce greater
irregularity. As x approaches 1, arbitrarily small and
arbitrarily large pauses between chimes can occur. This is
computed with what can be grandly referred to as Goudeseune's
improvement to the Xenakis-Poisson-Myhill algorithm.
- SetHueExact hActor x
- Choose one of twelve possible pentatonic pitch sets for
the chimes, exactly. x is an integer from 0 to 11 inclusive.
- SetHue hActor x
- Choose one of the twelve pitch sets, as x (floating point) ranges from 0 to 1.
- SetSaturation hActor x
- Set the mean number of chimes per second to x (x must be positive). Default is 1.
- SetValue hActor x
- Set this user-defined parameter, passed verbatim to *2
in the aforementioned message group. Duration of a chime is one
useful interpretation of this value.
- SetAmp hActor x
- Set a scaling factor for amplitudes passed to *1
of the message group. Defaults to unity.
- SetWidth hActor x
- Set the average width of the effective pitch set used, x
between 0 and 1 (default 0.25). Smaller values produce a pitch distribution
more nearly Gaussian (and also somewhat more expensive to compute);
unity produces a uniform pitch distribution.
- SetLowestFreq hActor freq
- Set the lowest frequency for the chimes, in Hz (20 to
8820 Hz). Defaults to 220 Hz.

Task Description
You have just
graduated from college with a degree in Computer Science
and youíve landed a GREAT job as a developer at
Hewlett-Packard. Only problem is, you donít have a car
to get back and forth from work.
Write a program
to determine your monthly car payment. The formula
for determining the monthly payment of a loan is:
P = L[c(1
+ c)n]/[(1 + c)n - 1]
P
= monthly payment
L
= loan amount in dollars
n
= number of months for the loan
c
= the monthly interest rate (for example, if the yearly
interest is 6%, c is 0.06/12 or 0.005)
Program Input
Your program
should prompt for the cost of the car (an integer
value), down payment (an integer value), yearly interest
rate (a decimal value), and number of months for the
loan (an integer value).
Enter the cost of
the car: 25000
Enter the down
payment: 5000
Enter the yearly
interest rate: 5.9
Enter the number
of month for the loan: 48
You can assume
that none of the integer values entered will be 0 (maybe
you can convince the Bank of Mom and Dad to give you one
of those special 0% interest loans).
Program Output
Output the
monthly payment for the loan to the screen.
Your monthly car
payment is: $xxx.xx

A port is a collection of up to 8 pins of the same type (in, out, in_out or oc) that are used (read, written, direction changed) together.
Similar to pins, there are four (abstract) types of ports:
A port can be constructed from a list of (up to 8) pins of the same type by the hwlib::port_from() constructor functions.
The next tables shows the operations that are available for each type of port.
| port type | reading | writing | direction control |
|---|---|---|---|
| in | refresh(), read() | ||
| out | write(), write() | ||
| in_out | refresh(), read() | write(), write() | direction_set_input(), direction_set_output(), direction_flush() |
| oc | refresh(), read() | write(), write() |
A read() returns a uint_fast8_t, a write() accepts a uint_fast8_t. The other calls take no parameters and return void.
When a port is read from, the lowest bit of the value read was read from the first pin supplied to the port constructor, the second-lowest bit from the second pin, etc. Likewise, when a port is written to, the lowest bit of the value is written to the first pin supplied to the constructor, etc.
For an in_out port the direction must be set to input before a read() is done, and to output before a write() is done.
As shown in the examples, a read() should be preceded by a refresh(), a write should be followed by a flush(), and a direction change should be followed by a direction_flush(), as explained in the page on buffering.
Port operations (read, write, direction_set_input, direction_set_output) are (potentially) buffered.
The direct() creator function can be used to create a port that has read(), write() and direction_set_*() operations with direct effect.
The hwlib::invert invert() function constructs a new port from an existing one. When a value is written to this new port, the bitwise inverse of this value is written to the old pin. Likewise, when a value is read from the new port, the value is the bitwise inverse of the value read from the old port. The new port is of the same type (in, out, in_out, oc) as the existing one from which it was created.
Conversion functions are available that create a port of one type from one of another type. Of course, not all such conversions are possible.
| function | accepted port types |
|---|---|
| port_in_from( port ) | in, in_out, oc |
| port_out_from( port ) | out, in_out, oc |
| port_in_out_from( port ) | in_out, oc |
| port_oc_from( port ) | oc |
Unlike for the pin conversions, it is not possible to create a port_oc from a port_in_out, because a port_in_out doesn't allow for individual control of the pin directions.
The overloaded all() function creates a single out pin from an out port. Writing a value to the single pin writes the value to all pins of the port. Flushing the single pin flushes the port.
A plane is a two-dimensional matrix of values. Each value in the matrix is addressed by an xy pair of integers. A plane can be read-only, write-only, or read-write. The value stored at each location in the plane can for instance be a black or white pixel, a color pixel, or an ASCII character.
The types of planes provided by the library are:
Plane coordinates start at the top-left corner and extend to the right ( x direction) and down (y direction). The top-left position is (0,0). Each plane has a size attribute. The bottom-left position has coordinate (size.x - 1, size.y - 1).
Planes of the same type can be manipulated by the same decorators:
For the pixel planes there is an additional decorator:


{%- extends 'layouts/generic.html' %} {#- Page title #} {% block title -%}Image Search{%- endblock %} {#- Page content #} {% block content -%}
Search through a thousand image categories (from the ImageNet database).
InceptionV3 model is used to classify a given image and returns top 5 predictions of what the
content of the image. We then crawl Google to search for the top prediction class.
NOTE: It is important to note that the image classes are the ones present in the ImageNet dataset,
anything apart from that might give a mis-classification. Nevertheless, it's smart enough to give you a close enough
class label, because of the awesomeness of the InceptionV3 model.
