CRITICS, GET A LIFE: THE
LIFE OF DAVID GALE ISN'T THAT BAD
By Michael Asimow
I've been browsing the reviews
of The Life of David Gale on the Internet Movie Data Base.
Most are scathingly negative. It's as if the critics felt personally
offended by the picture. I thought the picture wasn't that
bad and I've been trying to understand why so many eminent critics
detested it.
David
Gale is an up front
anti-death penalty picture. It's nowhere near as good as Dead
Man Walking, Breaker Morant, or The Green Mile
but it's better than other pictures in that subgenre such as
Last Dance or The Chamber. It has a clever double
twist ending which is entirely appropriate to the political message
of the movie and the personality of the characters. I won't
betray the ending here since many readers haven't yet seen the
film. My wife and I didn't guess the ending (although a lot
of critics claim it was obvious to them right from the beginning).
The ending to David Gale certainly was an improvement
on the typical one in death penalty movies. Most of these films
end with a gory execution scene; we are treated to watching the
condemned (whom we've come to sympathize with whether they're
innocent or guilty) get the lethal injection, gas, rope, bullet,
or juice.
Certainly, the thriller aspects
of the picture are weak. The unsuccessful last minute heroics
to save the prisoner were absurd and wholly superfluous. The
brilliant parody of such antics in The Player fits David
Gale to a T. The character of journalist Bitsey Bloom (Kate
Winslet) was poorly written and weakly conceived and Winslet's
acting was not convincing. Other thriller aspects of the film
(such as finding the audiotape or Bitsey's research into what
really happened at the murder scene) are also silly or overdone.
But you know what? In addition
to the clever ending, the film has some strong aspects. Some
of the acting was terrific. I thought Kevin Spacey as the condemned
David Gale was excellent (but then I always like Spacey's work).
I liked the way the character was written and developed--the
long terrible slide from respected philosophy professor, family
man, and anti-death penalty activist into unemployed bum, shoved
along by a devastatingly faked rape charge. Even better and
more interesting was the always capable Laura Linney as the victim
and fellow death penalty activist Constance Harraway.
Most important was the anti-death
penalty message. We're in Texas, home of the assembly line death
penalty. The enthusiastically pro-capital punishment governor
is shown up as a boob and a political whore. Many of the problems
of Southern death penalty justice are on display here, including
inept defense lawyers, endless delays while prisoners sit on
death row, hopeless last minute appeals that stretch the judicial
system out of shape, overwhelmed death penalty opponents, and
innocent men who are condemned to death because of judicial error.
We visit death row and watch the clanking bureaucratic processes
by which the death penalty is actually administered.
Recent public opinion polling
indicates that public support for the death penalty is starting
to slip as people understand the many practical flaws and the
staggering expense of the death machine. The ABA has called
for a moratorium. George Ryan's heroic action in granting a
moratorium and then clemency to everybody on Illinois' death
row because of the hopeless defects in the system has impressed
many people. Death penalty films like David Gale bring that
message home to millions of people who are compelled to reconsider
their position on this momentous issue after seeing the film.
By combining the political message with a thriller plot structure,
a lot more people will see the film. That's good, right?
So what's with the critics?
Surely David Gale wasn't all that bad, despite its acknowledged
failures as a thriller (how many thrillers are really all that
thrilling anyhow? Damned few) Did the critics resent having
the anti-death penalty message shoved into their faces once again?
Are they a little bored with it, perhaps? Or does it make
them a bit uncomfortable? Do they feel that, in these times
of terror and insecurity, we shouldn't undermine public confidence
in law enforcement or in the good judgment of our executive officials?
Well, maybe I'm being unfair here and the critics just thought
it was another lousy, stupid movie (like so many they're compelled
to endure). Yet, in my view, the picture was good but not great,
and it packed a powerful political punch. You have to wonder
what is going on with the critics.

cross_spectrum
Return the cross-spectrum of the spherical harmonic coefficients as a function of spherical harmonic degree.
Usage
array
= cross_spectrum (clm1
, clm2
, [normalization
, degrees
, lmax
, convention
, unit
, base
])
Returns
array
: ndarray, shape (len(degrees))- 1-D ndarray of the spectrum.
Parameters
clm1
: ndarray, shape (2,lmax
+ 1,lmax
+ 1)- ndarray containing the first set of spherical harmonic coefficients.
clm2
: ndarray, shape (2,lmax
+ 1,lmax
+ 1)- ndarray containing the second set of spherical harmonic coefficients.
normalization
: str, optional, default = ‘4pi’- ‘4pi’, ‘ortho’ or ‘schmidt’ for geodesy 4pi normalized, orthonormalized, or Schmidt semi-normalized coefficients, respectively.
lmax
: int, optional, default = len(clm[0,:,0]) - 1.- Maximum spherical harmonic degree to output.
degrees
: ndarray, optional, default = range(lmax
+1)- Array containing the spherical harmonic degrees where the spectrum is computed.
convention
: str, optional, default = ‘power’- The type of spectrum to return: ‘power’ for power spectrum, ‘energy’ for energy spectrum, and ‘l2norm’ for the l2 norm spectrum.
unit
: str, optional, default = ‘per_l’- If ‘per_l’, return the total contribution to the spectrum for each spherical harmonic degree l. If ‘per_lm’, return the average contribution to the spectrum for each coefficient at spherical harmonic degree l. If ‘per_dlogl’, return the spectrum per log interval dlog_a(l).
base
: float, optional, default = 10.- The logarithm base when calculating the ‘per_dlogl’ spectrum.
Description
This function returns either the cross-power spectrum, cross-energy spectrum, or l2-cross-norm spectrum. Total cross-power is defined as the integral of the clm1 times the conjugate of clm2 over all space, divided by the area the functions span. If the mean of the functions is zero, this is equivalent to the covariance of the two functions. The total cross-energy is the integral of clm1 times the conjugate of clm2 over all space and is 4pi times the total power. The l2-cross-norm is the sum of clm1 times the conjugate of clm2 over all angular orders as a function of spherical harmonic degree.
The output spectrum can be expresed using one of three units. ‘per_l’ returns the contribution to the total spectrum from all angular orders at degree l. ‘per_lm’ returns the average contribution to the total spectrum from a single coefficient at degree l. The ‘per_lm’ spectrum is equal to the ‘per_l’ spectrum divided by (2l+1). ‘per_dlogl’ returns the contribution to the total spectrum from all angular orders over an infinitessimal logarithmic degree band. The contrubution in the band dlog_a(l) is spectrum(l, ‘per_dlogl’)*dlog_a(l), where a is the base, and where spectrum(l, ‘per_dlogl’) is equal to spectrum(l, ‘per_l’)*l*log(a).

Redmi K30 5G smartphone gets 3C certification - Gizchina.com
by Efe UdinRate this post
Chinese manufacturing giant, Xiaomi, will launch its first Redmi 5G phone in the coming weeks. There are conflicting reports regarding the exact launch date. However, it should arrive in December or January. Recent report show that the Redmi K30 5G smartphone now has the Chinese 3C certification. This smartphone comes with model number “M2001G7AE” and it is a 5G phone (with 2 / 3 / 4G function). This smartphone may support up to 30W fast charge. According to reports, it may use the same charger as the Xiaomi CC9 Pro.
Lu Weibing said that Redmi will continue to adhere to high quality in the era of 5G. It has overcome a series of technical difficulties that were associated with the early stages of 5G development. Thus it is now in the position to bring the best quality 5G terminal to Redmi followers.
At the Redmi 8 series launch conference, Lu Weibing said that Redmi K30 supports SA/NSA dual-mode 5G. This is the first Redmi (Xiaomi at large) phone to support dual-mode 5G. This smartphone will also be the first Redmi/Xiaomi device to come with a dual punch hold camera design. As early as September this year, Lu Weibing confirmed the existence of Redmi K30 5G. However, we now know that we will have to wait until 2020 for this device.

git
Own Examples
Image 1: create new folder and open Git Bash terminal inside it.
Image 2: initialize git repository.
Image 3: run git status
to check the current status of the repository.
Word (master) has appeared after the repository path which means we are in the master branch like the status says.
We have made no commits yet and we have nothing to commit because there are no files added.
Image 4: after adding a new file "README.txt" to the repository, the status shows we have 1 untracked file which is shown in red.
Image 5: let's add the new file and run git status
again.
Now we see that the new file is green instead of red and is ready to be committed. If we modify the file,
the status will again show the file in red and mentions that it's been modified, after which the file has to be added again to the staging area.
Image 6: commit files to repository and run git status
again.
The commit-operation shows how many files were changed, along with how many insertions and deletions were made. Also, after the commit,
our working tree is now clean, so there are no differences to the committed version of the repository.
Image 7: create a new branch called "feature". Now we can see that the (master) has become (feature), and we can work on a different branch without affecting our master branch.
Image 8: we have added and committed new file "License.txt" to feature-branch.
Let's run ls
command to list every file in feature-branch.
Image 9: let's change back to master and run ls
to see our files in master-branch.
There is only README.txt at this point. So let's merge feature to master and run git status
and ls
again.
Now we see that there is License.txt file in master-branch and it's already been committed when it was in feature-branch.
Image 10: let's run git branch
to list all branches on local repository (current branch is shown in green),
and then delete the feature-branch with git branch -d feature
now that it has been merged to master and served its purpose.
After running git branch
again, we see that feature-branch is removed.
Since this was not a cloned repository, we would have to add our own remote server with, for example:
git remote add origin https://github.com/Username/MyProject
To push our local repository changes to the remote repository, we would run git push origin master
command.
To pull changes from remote repository (if someone else works in the same project), we would run git pull origin master
command to update our local repository.

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT Reviewed by Luke Buckmaster
Featuring the voices of: Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Danny Glover, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steve Martin, Martin Short Directors: Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner, Simon Wells Australian theatrical release: December 26, 1998
On the Buckmaster scale of 0 stars (bomb), to 5 stars (a masterpiece): 4 stars
Perhaps for the first time in Hollywood history, Dreamworks has made the seemingly impossible: an adult animated musical. Anyone who says that The Prince of Egypt is not a rare find is either an extreme pessimist or a Disney employee; this film is a breakthrough for animation, in terms of writing and conveying a potentially controversial screenplay and creating breath taking visuals.
In fact, Dreamworks went to great measures to make sure that The Prince of Egypt would not be a victim of religious criticism for not following the book of Exodus accurately. Drafts of the script were approved by religious leaders, and there is even text before the film explaining that "artistic license" must be taken into account. Quite miraculously, for a story based on Christian text, The Prince of Egypt does not preach, bore or intimidate. Against all odds, this is the best animated film of 1998, and one of my personal favorites of the last few years (ranking with The Hunchback of Notre Damn and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm).
The highlight of Prince of Egypt is the dynamic chemistry between its two crucial characters; men who are brothers in their hearts but have very different futures ahead of them. One is Rameses (voice of Ralph Fiennes), the son of Pharaoh (Patrick Stewart), who was born destined to rule Egypt. The other is Moses (Val Kilmer), who was adopted by the Pharaoh's wife after he was found floating down a river as a baby, in the time that Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew infants to be killed. By the time that Moses realizes that he is a Hebrew - the same people who are slaves to Pharaoh - he is a young man and is chosen by God to lead his people out of slavery.
That's quite a story for a "family film" to handle. In my Babe: Pig in the City review I stated that some scenes would be distressing for children to watch, and it seems only fair that I issue a similar warning in regards to The Prince of Egypt. This film depicts the harassment of the Hebrew people openly and vividly, but whereas Babe often seemed like nothing more than a freak show, The Prince of Egypt is honest about its setting and doesn't pretend that everything is harmless and innocent. As Moses battles Rameses for the Hebrew's freedom towards the film's conclusion, we can understand what he is fighting for and at the same time what he is missing out on - the life of a prince compared to the life of a true leader.
Visually, The Prince of Egypt is a triumph. Just as Antz and A Bug's Life had unique styles of animation, so does this. Some moments of the film go beyond just being visually impressive; they are enchanting and sensational. These scenes include Moses' encounter with God (in the form of a burning bush) and the parting of the Red Sea (which alone took animators over two years of work to complete). However terrific the visuals may be, though, is nothing compared to the potency of the screenplay. I haven't been this impressed by a script since The Truman Show, and this mesmerized by visuals since What Dreams May Come.
Whilst there are (thankfully) no singing animals in The Prince of Egypt, it is very much a musical. If you can imagine a biblical story brought to life with the power of, say, Les Miserables, you may have a reasonable idea of what this is like. Some of the featured songs are powerful and moving - such as "Deliver Us," which is performed Ofra Haza and Eden Riegel, and "When You Believe," performed by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. These songs are great, and help make the film accessible for all ages.
I can honestly say that while watching The Prince of Egypt, I never really noticed the talented array of voices until I looked at the credits. Val Kilmer and Ralph Fiennes are sensational in the two hardest parts, but everybody is impressive. This is the first animated film I have seen in which I not only forgot about its voices, I often forgot that it was animated. Which is strange, since the color and life that the animation generates is unlike anything that a live action film could create. As impressive as The Ten Commandments was, The Prince of Egypt is both an epic and a spectacle, packaged as a mainstream and accessible film by musical numbers and illustrious animation. This is cinema in its grandest form, combining an aged but unforgettable tale with breath-taking visual techniques.

What is root indicative ratio? It's the ratio of the square root of the passenger traffic through an airport for a financial year by the square root of amount of cargo processed by the same airport. Using which, we mean to shed some light on the relationship between the data of the airports and the nature of the city.
Surprisingly enough Delhi has a relatively low ratio than expected. Despite being a very small city, the capital of India is the economic capital of the country as well and receives the most tonnage of Cargo with Gurgaon, the business hub being very close by to the airport. Hence Delhi airport receives both a large population of people due to its cultural and historical importance (resulting in massive tourism) and a large amount of cargo traffic as well.
Similar to Delhi, Bombay, the entertainment, commerce and fashion hub of India, and the city with the highest GDP in India, receives both a large number of people and a huge amount of Cargo as well. Delhi airport, and the city Delhi as well being bigger than Bombay is one of the reasons for Bombay’s cargo and people received by the airport being lesser than that of Delhi. Having already established industries and being less popular of a tourist spot than Delhi, Bombay receives more Cargo and hence has a lower ratio than Delhi.
Bangalore is the “Silicon Valley of India”, being the hub of information technology companies in India it has much lesser cargo than Delhi or Bombay being received by the airport because of the nature of industries in Bangalore (Tech, IT don’t require huge physical equipment). The tourism and business in Bangalore (Large number of people working jobs in IT industries) results in a huge population of people being received at the airport, all these factors resulting in a higher ratio than Bombay as well as Delhi and a ratio closer to the mean.
Another business intensive city with more than one third of India’s automobile industry being based in Chennai resulting in a huge amount of cargo, much more than Bangalore being received by the airport (and hence resulting in the least ratio). Chennai is one of the best cities to live in India because of its safety in terms of health and pollution (The Quality of Living rated Chennai as the safest city in India) and being a relatively less popular tourist spot than Delhi and Bombay as well as having extremely hot weather throughout the year results in lesser (than Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore) people visiting.
The cultural capital of India and the education hub of the Country, Kolkata has much lesser cargo coming in via air because it possesses the countries oldest operating port which brings in a lot of cargo at a more reasonable cost as well resulting in a much higher ratio despite the number of passengers being pretty high due to its cultural importance and business as well.
As we move away from the business intensive cities we arrive at Hyderabad, with most of its business based on the traditional manufacturing, the knowledge sector and huge tourism resulting in a much lesser cargo traffic and decent population traffic at the airport giving us a relatively higher ratio.
Another major port city and commercial hub, major industries in Kochi include construction, ship building, manufacturing and export, resulting in a good amount of cargo traffic relative to population traffic resulting in a lower ratio than Hyderabad.
Dominated by the textile and gemstone (diamond) industry Ahmedabad has huge cargo traffic as well as population traffic due to it being a huge tourist attraction and business hub of Gujarat, resulting in a ratio very close to the mean.
The very evident huge deviation is due to the highly commercialized beaches in Goa resulting in it being transformed into a party destination for music festivals and becoming a major attraction for foreign tourists as well. We can see that the relative population traffic is huge and cargo traffic is minimal resulting in a skyrocketing ratio.
Pune is the education hub of India, also known as the “Oxford of the East” due to the presence of several well-known institutions which attract many foreigners as well, hence it is not as business intensive as the other metropolitan cities, resulting in relatively lesser cargo traffic and more population traffic due to the quality of living, education and tourism.

What new things have you learnt about meditation?
There is nothing mysterious about meditation. It’s really just mental training. Here is an analogy. Imagine you have a pot of water full of sediments, and imagine that pot is constantly shaken and agitated. The water appears cloudy. Imagine that you stop agitating the pot and just let it rest on the floor. The water will become calm and, after a while, all the sediments will settle and the water will appear clear. This is the classical analogy of the mind in the alert and relaxed state. In this state, we temporarily stop agitating the mind until eventually, our mind becomes calm and clear, the same way the water appears calm and clear.
Mindfulness mediation has three elements; intention, movement and sensation. Many studies demonstrate that the amount of time spent on mindfulness meditation can improve happiness. Research has shown an participants who practiced mindfullness mediation regularly for six weeks could operate more effectively at work. The reason for this is thought to be because of increased attentional ability. So mediation practitioners are able to proces stimuli more effectively. Hi effectiveness in processing and responding to stiumuli - an increase in memory, learning and perception.

--- title: 'My Data Analytics for Behavioural Research presentation: Theory, Introduction to R and Data Processing' author: '' date: '2019-07-12' slug: my-data-analytics-for-behavioural-research-presentation-theory-introduction-to-r-and-data-processing categories: [] tags: [] authors: [] header: caption: '' image: '' preview: yes ---
I was recently asked to give a 3 sessions lecture about Data Analytics for Behavioural Research. As it is difficult to have a broader topic, I’ve decied to present my favorite research topic: the data science of emotions. These three different lecture present very quickly: 1. the current theories of emotions 2. how to use R 3. how to use R for emotion data processing
You will find my slides and code on my github or hereafter. Enjoy!


_Analyze_This_ (R) *** (out of ****)
In its first two acts, Harold Ramis's comedy uproariously mines co-scripters Kenneth Lonergan, Peter Tolan's premise for all its comedic worth. Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal make a terrific team as, respectively, a tough mob boss and the shrink who reluctantly treats him for recurring panic attacks. Crystal's effectiveness comes as no surprise (OK, maybe so in light of recent pathetic efforts such as _Forget_Paris_ and _My_Giant_), but the true comedic firecracker of the two is DeNiro, who is explosively funny taking a self-deprecating spin on his usual mafia screen persona.
So when DeNiro's character disappears for a good chunk of the home stretch, so does the explosive energy of his performance and presence. Strangely enough, Crystal cannot pick up the comedic slack; the film's climax is his showcase, and his schtick comes off as just that, schtick, in comparison to DeNiro's relaxed comic ease. One performer who could have possibly risen to the challenge is co-star Lisa Kudrow, but she is woefully underused in the equally as undeveloped role of Crystal's fiancee. But even if it does not end quite as well as it begins, _Analyze_This_ offers more laughs than any other comedy so far released in 1999.

➢ Module 2 input file
Within this module we will understand how actions taken within AEWS need to be reflected in payroll, we will also demonstrate how to use the ‘data correction’ action when you have uploaded incorrect data into AEWS.
During this month ABC employer has several amendments to their employee records:
➢ Emma Jones decided to temporarily reduce pension contributions
➢ Peter Clarke left employment
➢ Sharon Kitton joined the company
All of the above actions would be identified in the file prior to the upload in to AEWS. The employees who decided to reduce payments would have reduced contribution amounts.
➢ Followed their internal timeline
➢ Uploaded month 2 into AEWS
➢ Uploaded the payment to provider file transfer
We have now successfully run Compliance Month 2 and have observed how there is a recurring link between payroll and AEWS. In some instances payroll will produce actions for AEWS (temporary reduction in payments etc) and some instances
AEWS will generate actions in payroll (increasing contributions etc). This process needs to be documented so that changes between the systems can be done between the payroll closing and the payroll being run.
➢ The 3 data items that you may have to change in payroll after using AEWS are employer & employee contributions and existing member indicator
➢ Section 6 of the user guide.

A typical web site will live or is "hosted" on a web server. Web servers are often large computers connected to a network.
Clients make requests, servers fulfill them (usually).
For our web discussions, client = browser, but search engine crawlers, command line interfaces, and other applications can also behave as clients.
While any type of computer can be used as a server, they are generally larger and more powerful than others.

GeVIR % - gene rank measured in percentiles based on Gene Variation Intolerance Ranking (GeVIR)
(low values indicate more variation intolerant genes, which is also true for "LOEUF %" and "VIRLoF %").
GeVIR is a method which we developed and applied on a list of 19,361 genes to sort them based on number, length and evolutionary conservation of regions without functional variants (i.e. between two missense, loss-of-function, insertion or delition variants) in gnomAD database (version 2.0.1). Only canonical transcripts were analysed.
LOEUF % - gene rank measured in percentiles based gnomAD loss-of-function observed/expected upper bound fraction (LOEUF)
(see Figure 1). For more information about this metric, please read "Constraint" section of
MacArthur Lab blog post. If you use this metric please cite gnomAD flagship paper and use most up-to-date values from gnomAD website.
Figure 1. Screenshot of ELN gene constraint metrics from gnomAD browser
VIRLoF % - gene rank measured in percentiles based on both GeVIR and gnomAD LOEUF
(shows the best overall performance, see Figure 2). If you use this metric please cite both GeVIR and gnomAD flagship paper.
GeVIR AD, LOEUF AD, VIRLoF AD, GeVIR AR, LOEUF AR, VIRLoF AR - to help users interpret gene ranks, we calculated fold enrichment of Autosomal Dominant (AD) and Autosomal Recessive (AR) genes with known molecular basis of disorder in OMIM in a range of +-5% of gene X (see Figure 2). Statistical significant fold enrichements (Fisher Exact Test p-value < 1e-5) are shown in bold in the table.
For example CDK19 gene's GeVIR % is 2.37, so examined range is from 0 (2.37-5, rounded to minimal percentile) to 7.37% (2.37+5). Genes in this range are ~4 times more often (4.05 fold enrichement) associated with AD diseases and ~4 times less often (0.25 fold enrichement) associated with AR diseases. Both enrichment of AD genes and deficiency of AR genes is statistical significant. Thus GeVIR metric adds supportive evidence that CDK19 is more likely to be associated with AD than AR disease.
Figure 2. Fold Enrichment of known Autosomal Dominant (AD) and Autosomal Recessive (AR) genes of each gene in the ranked lists (GeVIR, LOEUF, VIRLoF. AD genes are enriched among top ranked genes (lowest percentiles), whereas AR genes are enriched among middle ranked genes (approximetly 35-65 percentiles). Combined metric (VIRLoF, purple) shows the best perfornance, i.e. high ranked genes are more often associated with AD than AR diseases, low ranked genes are less often associated with both AD and AR diseases.

Whether it’s yourself or a mate, everyone knows someone who’s struggled with the perennial battle of the driving test. No matter how well you control the vehicle during lessons, the testing environment simply plays with people’s heads.
It could be failing to halt at a stop sign, continually forgetting to check your mirrors, driving over a mini-roundabout – all for no rhyme or reason other than you’re bloody nervous.

In the UK, if you fail your test, you simply re-book. You might go for another couple of lessons with your instructor (who you’ll likely resent to within an inch of their life) before you have another go.
If you fail again, the process repeats.
Switzerland, it seems, treats its learner drivers a bit differently. With every failure, there’s an extra condition – just to ensure you are actually fit to take the practical test.
According to the Swiss Authorities, if you fail once, you can generally resit after a month. If you fail a second time, you’re required to provide a certificate from a recognised driving instructor stating that you have completed your training.

Let’s say you fail a third time: you’ll have to undergo a driving aptitude test before you’re permitted to take a further test. What’s worse is if you fail that test too, your provisional licence will no longer be valid.
Finally, if you still can’t crack it on your fourth time, you may only take another test if you are given a positive psychological assessment on your ability to drive.
If you’ve ever come across someone who’s failed their driving test four times, this won’t seem like a terrible idea. By that point, learners are understandably worn down and feeling defeated after the constant brunt of failure.
Advertisements
It’s also worth remembering that losing your provisional doesn’t have the same ramifications in Switzerland as it does in the UK, where you simply fill out an online application.
In Switzerland, you must complete ten hours of first aid instruction along with your theory test before you’re granted a provisional licence.
If you’re one of those unfortunate souls battling driving tests again and again, keep the faith. It’ll be okay in the end.

Nadal beats Canada's Shapovalov to give Spain sixth Davis Cup title
MADRID - World No. 1 Rafael Nadal defeated Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 7-6 (7) on Sunday to give Spain its sixth Davis Cup title and deny Canada its first.
Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., fended off a pair of championship points in the second-set tiebreak before Nadal could seal the win.
The No. 15-ranked Shapovalov — Canada's top singles player — was playing a must-win match after Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime dropped the opening singles rubber in straight sets to Roberto Bautista Agut earlier Sunday.
Nadal was untouchable this the week, going 8-0 while facing just three break points throughout the Davis Cup Finals — including one from Shapovalov in the second set. He improved to a staggering 29-1 in singles matches in his Davis Cup career.
The Canadians team was competing in the final at a Davis Cup for the first time. Canada first appeared in the international team tournament in 1913.
Spain, playing in its 10th final, earned its first title since 2011.

For years now I have yearned for the day when I could put reverse engineering as my number one priority on the list of things to learn. Realistically it has never been on that position before as there were smarter choices to focus on — such as studying for certain certifications for business advantage etc.
Join me now on the journey to learn reverse engineering.
This is an on-going series that I started in September 2016. Each post will include a vlog of the core ideas I want to document in my learning process and then the blog post will expand on those. I will work at including useful links and insights, but also honestly show you what things were hard for me and my thoughts on how I could have avoided those pitfalls.
Immediate access to the useful links:

This subpart prescribes policies and procedures for designated agencies’ guarantees of loans made by private financial institutions to borrowers performing contracts related to national defense (see 30.102).
As used in this subpart—
“Borrower” means a contractor, subcontractor (at any tier), or other supplier who receives a guaranteed loan.
“Federal Reserve Board” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
“Guaranteed loan” or “V loan” means a loan, revolving credit fund, or other financial arrangement made pursuant to Regulation V of the Federal Reserve Board, under which the guaranteeing agency is obligated, on demand of the lender, to purchase a stated percentage of the loan and to share any losses in the amount of the guaranteed percentage.
“Guaranteeing agency” means any agency that the President has authorized to guarantee loans, through Federal Reserve Banks, for expediting national defense production.
Congress has authorized Federal Reserve Banks to act, on behalf of guaranteeing agencies, as fiscal agents of the United States in the making of loan guarantees for defense production (Section 301, Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. App. 2091)). By Executive Order 10480, August 14, 1953 (3 cfr 1949-53), as amended, the President has designated the following agencies as guaranteeing agencies:
(a) Department of Defense.
(b) Department of Energy.
(c) Department of Commerce.
(d) Department of the Interior.
(e) Department of Agriculture.
(f) General Services Administration.
(g) National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
(a) Section 301 of the Defense Production Act authorizes loan guarantees for contract performance or other operations related to national defense, subject to amounts annually authorized by Congress on the maximum obligation of any guaranteeing agency under any loan, discount, advance, or commitment in connection therewith, entered into under section 301. (See 50 U.S.C. App. 2091 for statutory limitations and exceptions concerning the authorization of loan guarantee amounts and the use of loan guarantees for the prevention of insolvency or bankruptcy.)
(b) The guarantee shall be for less than 100 percent of the loan unless the agency determines that—
(1) The circumstances are exceptional;
(2) The operations of the contractor are vital to the national defense; and
(3) No other suitable means of financing are available.
(c) Loan guarantees are not issued to other agencies of the Government.
(d) Guaranteed loans are essentially the same as conventional loans made by private financial institutions, except that the guaranteeing agency is obligated, on demand of the lender, to purchase a stated percentage of the loan and to share any losses in the amount of guaranteed percentage. It is the responsibility of the private financial institution to disburse and collect funds and to administer the loan. Under Regulation V of the Federal Reserve Board (12 CFR 245), any private financing institution may submit an application to the Federal Reserve Bank of its district for guarantee of a loan or credit.
(e) Federal Reserve Banks will make the loan guarantee agreements on behalf of the guaranteeing agencies.
(f) Under Section 302(c) of Executive Order 10480, August 14, 1953 (3 CFR 1949-53), as amended, all actions and operations of Federal Reserve Banks, as fiscal agents, are subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board is authorized to prescribe the following, after consultation with the heads of guaranteeing agencies:
(1) Regulations governing the actions and operations of fiscal agents.
(2) Rates of interest, guarantee and commitment fees, and other charges that may be made for loans, discounts, advances, or commitments guaranteed by the guaranteeing agencies through the Federal Reserve Banks. These prescriptions may be in the form of specific rates or limits, or in other forms.
(3) Uniform forms and procedures to be used in connection with the guarantees.
(g) The guaranteeing agency is responsible for certifying eligibility for the guarantee and fixing the maximum dollar amount and maturity date of the guaranteed loan to meet the contractor’s requirement for financing performance of the defense production contract on hand at the time the guarantee application is submitted.
(a) A contractor, subcontractor, or supplier that needs operating funds to perform a contract related to national defense may apply to a financing institution for a loan. If the financing institution is willing to extend credit, but considers a Government guarantee necessary, the institution may apply to the Federal Reserve Bank of its district for the guarantee. Application forms and guidance are available at all Federal Reserve Banks.
(b) The Federal Reserve Bank will promptly send a copy of the application, including a list of the relevant defense contracts held by the contractor, to the Federal Reserve Board. The Board will transmit the application and the list of contracts to the interested guaranteeing agency, so that the agency can determine the eligibility of the contractor.
(c) To expedite the process, the Federal Reserve Bank may, pursuant to instructions of a guaranteeing agency, submit lists of the defense contracts to the interested contracting officers.
(d) While eligibility is being determined, the Federal Reserve Bank will make any necessary credit investigations to supplement the information furnished by the applicant financing institution in order to—
(1) Expedite necessary defense financing; and
(2) Protect the Government against monetary loss.
(e) The Federal Reserve Bank will send its report and recommendation to the Federal Reserve Board. The Board will transmit them to the interested guaranteeing agency.
(a) The contracting officer shall prepare the certificate of eligibility for a contract that the contracting officer deems to be of material consequence, when—
(1) The contract financing office requests it;
(2) Another interested agency requests it; or
(3) The application for a loan guarantee relates to a contract or subcontract within the cognizance of the contracting officer.
(b) The agency shall evaluate the relevant data, including the certificate of eligibility, the accompanying data, and any other relevant information on the contractor’s financial status and performance, to determine whether authorization of a loan guarantee would be in the Government’s interest.
(c) If the contractor has several major national defense contracts, it is normally not necessary to evaluate the eligibility of relatively minor contracts. The determination of eligibility should be processed, without delay, based on the preponderance of the amount of the contracts.
(d) The certificate of eligibility shall include the following determinations:
(1) The supplies or services to be acquired are essential to the national defense.
(2) The contractor has the facilities and the technical and management ability required for contract performance.
(3) There is no practicable alternate source for the acquisition without prejudice to the national defense. (This statement shall not be included if the contractor is a small business concern.)
(e) The contracting officer shall consider the following factors in determining if a practicable alternate source exists:
(1) Prejudice to the national defense, because reletting of a contract with another source would conflict with a major policy on defense acquisition; e.g., policies relating to the mobilization base.
(2) The urgency of contract performance schedules.
(3) The technical ability and facilities of other potential sources.
(4) The extent to which other sources would need contract financing to perform.
(5) The willingness of other sources to enter into contracts.
(6) The time and expense involved in repurchasing for contracts or parts of contracts. This may include potential claims under a termination for convenience or delays incident to default at a later date.
(7) The comparative prices available from other sources.
(8) The disruption of established subcontracting arrangements.
(9) Other pertinent factors.
(f) The contracting officer shall attach sufficient data to the certificate of eligibility to support the determinations made. Available pertinent information shall be included on—
(1) The contractor’s past performance;
(2) The relationship of the contractor’s operations to performance schedules; and
(3) Other factors listed in paragraph (e) of this section, if relevant to the case under consideration.
(g) If the contracting officer determines that a certificate of eligibility is not justified, the facts and reasons supporting that conclusion shall be documented and furnished to the agency contract finance office.
(h) The guaranteeing agency shall review the proposed guarantee terms and conditions. If they are considered appropriate, the guaranteeing agency shall complete a standard form of authorization as prescribed by the Federal Reserve Board. The agency shall transmit the authorization through the Federal Reserve Board to the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank is authorized to execute and deliver to the financing institution a standard form of guarantee agreement, with the terms and conditions approved for the particular case. The financing institution will then make the loan.
(i) Substantially the same procedure may be followed for the application of an offeror who is actively negotiating or bidding for a defense contract, except that the guarantee shall not be authorized until the contract has been executed.
(j) The contracting officer shall report to the agency contract finance office any information about the contractor that would have a potentially adverse impact on a pending guarantee application. The contracting officer is not required, however, to initiate any special investigation for this purpose.
(k) With regard to existing contracts, the agency shall not consider the percentage of guarantee requested by the financing institution in determining the contractor’s eligibility.
(a) Under guaranteed loans made primarily for working capital purposes, the agency shall normally limit the guarantee, by use of an asset formula, to an amount that does not exceed a specified percentage (90 percent or less) of the contractor’s investment (e.g., payrolls and inventories) in defense production contracts. The asset formula may include all items under defense contracts for which the contractor would be entitled to payment on performance or termination. The formula shall exclude—
(1) Amounts for which the contractor has not done any work or made any expenditure;
(2) Amounts that would become due as the result of later performance under the contracts; and
(3) Cash collateral or bank deposit balances.
(b) Progress payments are deducted from the asset formula.
(c) The agency may relax the asset formula to an appropriate extent for the time actually necessary for contract performance, if the contractor’s working capital and credit are inadequate.
The agency may change the guarantee amount or maturity date, within the limitations at 32.304-3, as follows:
(a) If the contractor enters into additional defense production contracts after the application for, but before authorization of, a guarantee, the agency may adjust the loan guarantee amount or maturity date to meet any significant increase in financing need.
(b) If the contractor enters into defense production contracts during the term of the guaranteed loan, the parties may adjust the existing guarantee agreement to provide for financing the new contracts. Pertinent information and the Federal Reserve Bank reports will be submitted to the guaranteeing agency under the procedures for the original guarantee application, described in 32.304-1. Normally, a new certificate of eligibility is required.
(a) The agency shall generally require a contractor that is provided a guaranteed loan to execute an assignment of claims under defense production contracts (including any contracts entered into during the term of the guaranteed loan that are eligible for financing under the loan); however, the agency need not require assignment if any of the following conditions are present:
(1) The contractor’s financial condition is so strong that the protection to the Government provided by an assignment of claims is unnecessary.
(2) In connection with the assignment of claims under a major contract, the increased protection of the loan that would be provided by the assignments under additional, relatively smaller contracts is not considered necessary by the agency.
(3) The assignment of claims would create an administrative burden disproportionate to the protection required; e.g., if the contractor has a large number of contracts with individually small dollar amounts.
(b) The contractor shall also execute an assignment of claims if requested to do so by the guarantor or the financing institution.
(c) A subcontract or purchase order issued to a subcontractor shall not be considered eligible for financing under guaranteed loans when the issuer of the subcontract or purchase order reserves—
(1) The privilege of making payments directly to the assignor or to the assignor and assignee jointly, after notice of the assignment, or
(2) The right to reduce or set off assigned proceeds under defense production contracts by reason of claims against the borrower arising after notice of assignment and independently of defense production contracts under which the borrower is the seller.
The following are examples of other forms of security that, although seldom invoked under guaranteed loans, may be required when considered necessary for protection of the Government interest:
(a) Mortgages on fixed assets.
(b) Liens against inventories.
(c) Endorsements.
(d) Guarantees.
(e) Subordinations or standbys of other indebtedness.
(a) Contract surety bonds are incompatible with the Government’s interests under guaranteed loans, unless the interests of the surety are subordinated to the guaranteed loan.
(b) If a substantial share of the contractor’s defense contracts are covered by surety bonds, or the amount of the bond is substantial in relation to the contractor’s net worth, the agency shall not authorize the guarantee of a loan on a bonded contract unless the surety enters into an agreement with the financing institution to subordinate the surety’s rights and claims in favor of the guaranteed loan.
(c) The agency approval of a guarantee for a loan involving relatively substantial subcontracts covered by surety bonds shall also depend on the establishment of a reasonable allocation agreement between the sureties and the financing institution. The agreement should give the financing institution the benefit, with regard to payments to be made on the contract, of the portion of its loans fairly attributable to expenditures made under the bonded subcontracts before notice of default.
(a) Because of the limitations under guaranteed loans, some contractors seek to supplement the loan by other borrowing (outside the guarantee) from the financing institution or other sources. It has been recognized in practice that, while prohibition of borrowings outside the guaranteed loan is preferable when practicable in a given V-loan case, such other borrowings should be permitted when necessary.
(b) If the agency consents to the contractor obtaining other borrowing during the guaranteed loan period, the agency shall apply the following restrictions:
(1) A reasonable limit on the amount of other borrowing.
(2) If guaranteed and unguaranteed loans are made by the same financing institution, a requirement that any collateral security requested by the institution under the unguaranteed loan is also to be secondary collateral for the guaranteed loan.
(3) A requirement that the contractor provide appropriate documentation to the guaranteeing agency, at intervals not longer than 30 days, to disclose outstanding unguaranteed borrowings.
(a) The purpose of guaranteed loans; i.e., to provide for financing based on the borrower’s recoverable investment in defense production contracts, may also apply to contracts that have been terminated (partially or totally) for the convenience of the Government. Guaranteed loans also may be made before such termination if it is known that termination of particular contracts for the convenience of the Government is about to occur. These loans are expected to provide necessary financing pending termination settlements and payments. They may also finance continuing performance of defense production contracts that are eligible for guaranteed loans.
(b) The procedure for such guarantees is substantially the same as that outlined in 32.304, except that certificates of eligibility are not required for (1) contracts that have been totally terminated or (2) the terminated portion of contracts that have been partially terminated. The agency shall take precautions necessary to avoid Government losses and to ensure the loans will be self-liquidating from the proceeds of defense production contracts.
(c) Loan guarantees for contract termination financing shall not be provided before specific contract terminations are certain.
If the request for a loan guarantee concerns a subcontractor that is financially weak in comparison with its contractor, the Government’s interests may be fostered by the contractor making progress payments to the subcontractor. If so, the agency shall try to arrange for the contractor to provide the progress payments. As a result, the need for the loan guarantee may be reduced or eliminated and the contractor would bear part or all of the risk of loss arising from the selection of the subcontractor.

Website Design
I find website design hard. I am thinking about a new flat design for this website, what do you think?
Now that I have remade my entire website using bootstrap I think that I kind of want a nece, clean flat design, it just works better with white, black and some icons.
But the problem is that redesigning an entire website takes so much time, that I generaly do not have.
I like google's material design, but that will be so much work for me to implement in my website, but then, it looks good doesen't it.
If I do this I will stick to some things, keep them the same throughout the website.
A clean look, no adverts, no libraries. This will make it hard though. That will mean no jQuery, no bootstrap, just pure, plain JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5 and spelling mistakes.
I think that I will do that, just it will take a long time.
The problem with me and writing code is that it looks something like this:
My code starts out all fine and working for what it does, then I get stuck, look at it for a bit and then it turns into, well, the picture above.
So I am not exactly the best at writing several thousand line js and css files. Sometimes I have had kind of half decent code end up like:
Yes, that is a blank image.  What is going on here?
But I think that I will re make my website. I surpost hat I can do it given enough time. So yeah. This is the first time I have written something like this. So please tell me what you think.
