The Muse (1999) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com Member: Online Film Critics Society
*** out of four
"You have to turn around, park in the lot and walk to the building. You don't have a drive-on." "Excuse me?" "You don't have a drive-on, you have a walk-on." "Is that the worst a person could get or is there like a crawl-on?"
Starring Albert Brooks, Sharon Stone, Andie McDowell, Jeff Bridges. Rated PG-13.
The movie is about Muses: descendants of the Gods said to be able to inspire artists. I think Albert Brooks is a God. He hasn't made a bad movie in his entire career (granted, a 6 film career, but six good films in a row is a streak any filmmaker should be -- and is -- envious of). At their worst his films are funny; at their best they are masterpieces of comic precision and intelligent, tasteful humor.
The Muse, his new film, is a delightful experience. Charming, hilarious and very Brook-ish, it is a worthy addition to what has been an inordinately successful 20-year directing career. Brooks handles his tricky material perfectly, cooking up an impeccable combination of the supernatural, the off-beat and the Hollywood inside jokes.
Our protagonist is Steven Phillips, a heretofore successful screenwriter who has just been fired. Why? Because he has "lost his edge". Understandably Steven asks what that means. I began to wonder myself. You hear that so often in the movie, tv and book business that it has become a staple phrase and yet I don't know what the "edge" is and how one can "lose" it. That is what everyone tells Steven when they read the latest script and yet nobody is able to explain what it means. They all advise that he take a year off work, get that mystical "edge" back. That's not an option for him because he's no billionaire and he has a family to feed. He's left up the creek without a paddle; he has no idea what's wrong with his work or, more importantly, how he can fix it.
He pleads with his enviably successful screenwriter buddy Jack (Jeff Bridges) for help. Jack divulges that he employs the services of a Muse. That's right -- a Muse -- the mythical woman said to be able to breathe inspiration into anyone with writer's/painter's/actor's/author's block. The Muse's name is Sarah, and she's a tough cookie. First you have to get her to "take your case", mainly by showering her with lavishly expensive gifts. If she does decide to take you on you have to obey her every command in return for alleged inspiration. She takes Steve on. She orders that he put her up in a suite at the Four Seasons, run countless errands for her and attend to her every wish. If he does, she insists, he'll write a script that will make him so much money he may neverh ave to write another one again.
The relationship between Steve and sarah gets weird. Brooks, bless his soul, never lets The Muse develop into a romantic comedy. What he does do, however, is have Sarah move in with Steve. At that point, various guests come to Steve's home looking to use the Muse; people like Martin Scorcese (who wants to remake Raging Bull with a really thin guy) and James Cameron (no Titanic sequel for him, poor fella) all showing up seeking inspiration. As if that wasn't enough, Sarah decides to assist Steve's wife (Andie McDowell) in starting her own "Mrs. Fields" style baking business, a fact which deeply troubles Steve.
The film's biggest commodity, of course, is the jokes, the jokes, the jokes. They keep a-flyin', and the amazing thing is that they all work. Well, almost. As a matter of fact, the ratio of gags to laughs rivals that of Brooks classics such as the untouchable Defending Your Life. This one may not be as profound or emotionally affecting as that film, but it is at least just as funny.
Its claim to fame, however, is Sharon Stone as the leading lady in one of her only comedic roles. And make no mistake, she is wonderful as the mysterious title character. I doubt she will become a top-billed comedianne anytime soon, but "this will do" wouldn't do her performance justice. Equally successful is Andie McDowell, whom I didn't appreciate as an actress up until this movie. Albert Brooks is as good a comic as he is a director: his performance is typical but also typically effective.
Unlike most other Albert Brooks films there is not much of substance in The Muse, but that doesn't mean that it isn't good. It's even better if you know your movies: the countless Hollywood inside jokes can be easy to miss if you don't get them. Even if you're not an insider you can still enjoy this fluffy light comedy, a hilarious ode -- not a spoof but a tribute -- to Hollywood; a film that emphasizes that there's no business like showbusiness. ©1999 Eugene Novikov

--- layout: post title: Some Thoughts on Rules Engines ---
Spend enough time working with domain experts on a problem and someone is bound to say "we should build a rules engine to solve this problem." Often this comes along with the goal of letting domain experts express rules themselves rather than having to evolve engineers. However, once you start to dig into this problem you'll discover that "rules engine" can mean many different things to many different people.
I've seen this problem a few times over the past couple of years, and I've come to think it's useful to break down your rules engine across a few important axes. Doing this will allow you to have clear discussions on what problems you need to solve and what you need to build to solve them.
All of these taken together form a set of constraints for your rules engine. If you want to express arbitrary logic over arbitrary data, well then you're probably doing to need to write a business readable DSL or use something like drools. If you can simplify across some dimension, you can probably save yourself some work .
Let's think about how all this works in practice by using a few examples.
Stripe's Radar product has a rules engine which allows merchants to configure how they should handle charges. It answers the above questions in the following ways:
This approach constrains users across almost every dimension, but the resulting rules engine is simple enough that almost anyone can use it.
At the other end of the spectrum is FXL, a language that Facebook developed for fighting spam. It has slightly different answers to these questions.
FXL's rules engine gives users more power at the expense of some complexity. The rules are actual code rather than fancy configuration. This creates spam fighting superpowers at the price of it being harder for non-engineers to interact with write.
Another common pattern is the SQL-based rules engine, which has an example here. The general idea of these is often "our domain-experts already understand SQL, so let's allow them to just write their rules in a language they know." Again, this can fit into our framework.
These approaches fit somewhere in between the two approaches above. They seem useful when you want to return a simple classification result, but it may get more challenging if you want to take more complex actions.
I'm not totally sure exactly how to use this framework yet, but it has been useful for me to ask these questions whenever someone says "we need a rules engine." I hypothesize that if you want to keep the expression language simple, you'll need to invest more engineering-time to provide curated data to your rules engine and limit what it can do.
I also imagine that these approaches can be mixed-and-matched for maximum effectiveness. For example, you could have a rules engine which is based on a business readable DSL, and provide some tooling for non-engineers to create for common use-cases. This allows for iteration speed in the common case without sacrificing power when you really need something complex.

BidiChecker is a tool for the automated testing of web pages for errors in support of right-to-left (RTL) languages, also known as bidirectional (BiDi) because they routinely include left-to-right items such as numbers and Latin-script words and phrases.
BiDi support for a web page is a common requirement, even for pages in left-to-right scripts. Any page which accepts user input or displays multilingual content is likely to end up handling bidirectional text at some point, as it will eventually encounter data in Arabic, Hebrew or another RTL language. Unfortunately, handling bidirectional text can be tricky and requires special processing at every appearance of potentially BiDi data in the UI. (Examples of common BiDi UI bugs can be found here.) As a result, BiDi text support often regresses when a developer adds a new feature and simply forgets about BiDi.
BidiChecker is a library meant to be called from automated test suites that regression-test live web pages in a browser, usually using an automated testing framework such as JSUnit. BidiChecker provides a Javascript API which integrates easily into such a test. The BidiChecker API accepts a page element (by default, the body of the top-level document), runs BiDi tests on its contents, and returns a list of BiDi errors found, including the type of each error, its location on the page and an estimate of its level of severity.
Note that using BidiChecker does not require any custom "hooks" or modifications to the product under test. New BidiChecker-based tests can be written in addition to the product's existing test suite.
In the future, we plan to provide additional front ends for regression testing of applications whose test suites are based on other platforms.
BidiChecker is currently in use at several projects inside Google.
The BidiChecker source code can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/bidichecker using the following command:
svn checkout http://bidichecker.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ bidichecker
Source code and unit tests can be found in the src/ subdirectory. This user's guide is in the docs/ subdirectory, with the complete API documentation in docs/jsdoc/. A sample application, along with demonstrations of how BidiChecker can be used to check for BiDi errors, can be found in samples/reviews/. The lib/ subdirectory contains a single-file, precompiled version of BidiChecker named bidichecker_packaged.js. Including this one file in the web page to be tested is the usual way to use BidiChecker; you only need BidiChecker's source code if you want to modify BidiChecker or understand its internal workings. For an example of how to use the precompiled package, see samples/reviews/reviews_packaged_test.html.
BidiChecker source code uses the Closure Library, an open-source library of useful Javascript modules. If you want to run a modified version of BidiChecker or run BidiChecker's own unit tests, you will need to install a copy of the Closure Library on your system. To do that, run the following command from the same working directory as you ran the above command:
svn checkout http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ bidichecker/third_party/closure-library
BidiChecker does not currently easily support linking with a copy of the Closure Library at a different location. Please note that you do not need to install the Closure Library to use the precompiled version of BidiChecker.
For an example of how to use BidiChecker with the Closure Library, see samples/reviews/reviews_closure_test.html.
BidiChecker supports all major browsers. Please note that the errors identified by BidiChecker are not specific to the browser platform on which it is run. That is, BidiChecker will report errors that cause display garbling on any browser, even when that does not include the browser on which it was run.
function testAppWithBidiChecker() {
// Do something to load the application being tested into the page and get it into
// an interesting state for BiDi, e.g. displaying LTR data in an RTL UI.
....
// Check for errors in handling BiDi text. First parameter is true to indicate an RTL UI.
// It would be false when testing an LTR UI (with RTL data).
var bidiErrors = bidichecker.checkPage(true, top.document.body);
assertArrayEquals([], errors); // Should be no BiDi errors!
}
A complete code example, including a simple bilingual application and BidiChecker-based JSUnit tests, can be found in the samples/reviews/ subdirectory of the download tree.
The tool will produce a list of error messages, one for each BiDi bug discovered. Below is a sample of the messages. The contents of the error messages will be explained in more detail later on.
[4] Undeclared LTR text: 'The Princess Bride' followed by ': 23' in

[4] Undeclared LTR text: 'Leagues Under the Sea' preceded by '20,000 ' followed by ': 17' in

When running a BidiChecker test interactively, however, it is a lot easier to view the errors right in the page where BidiChecker found them using BidiChecker's interactive error browser. To activate the error browser, call bidichecker.runGui(errors) from your test code if bidichecker.checkPage() returns errors. This will display a dialog box showing the first error, while highlighting the text that aroused BidiChecker's suspicions:
The GUI mode is simple to control: Leaf through the errors with the Prev and Next buttons, or select an error by entering its index number in the input box. Each error in turn is highlighted in a yellow background where it appears on the page. The page will also be scrolled to keep the error's position near the top of the window if possible.
The error description text can be copied from the dialog box and used in creating a filter to suppress the error if it is spurious, unimportant, or a known bug. Also, the page under test remains accessible, so you can select the page contents near an error and view the HTML source or DOM state using the browser's developer tools capabilities. Note that an error may not always be visibly highlighted, e.g. if its page location is concealed by another page element, or if it is scrolled out of view in a scrollable element.
Unfortunately, the GUI currently has a major limitation: it will generally not work if more than one test is run from the same test file. Since each test typically manipulates the DOM of the page under test, it is no longer possible to highlight errors on the page after a subsequent test has been run. The GUI can only be relied upon to work correctly if there is only one test in the test file, or alternately if only one test from the file is run (most test runners allow the user to select a single test from a file with several tests).
BidiChecker's results consist of BiDi error reports. The command-line tool outputs them one-per-line as text to standard output, while in the API they are returned as a list of objects with descriptive fields. Either way, the content is the same.
An error may contain and or all of the following fields:

".
Starting with an "id" attribute (if present) guarantees uniqueness at
that point, though below it we don't indicate which of
multiple repeated elements is the one in question (for example, which
table row/cell or which paragraph). In conjunction with the error text, that should be
sufficient for identification of the error location.var filters = [
// Suppress errors with the
atText
field "שלום":
bidichecker.FilterFactory.atText("\u05e9\u05dc\u05d5\u05dd"),
// Suppress errors appearing within a page element with the element id "other_id"
// (matches any ancestor element, including those of enclosing frames):
bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationId("other_id"),
// Composing multiple filters: Suppress errors of severity levels 3 and 4 and error type
// "Declared RTL spillover to number":
bidichecker.FilterFactory.severityFrom(3).and( // Suppress errors within a page element with the class attribute "myclass" and
// preceded by text matching the regular expression "http:.*":
bidichecker.FilterFactory.
locationClass("myclass")
.and(
bidichecker.FilterFactory.precededByTextRegexp(
"http:.*"))
];
var errors = bidichecker.checkPage(true, top.document.body, filters);
assertArrayEquals([], errors); // Should be no BiDi errors after filtering!
| Filter name | Sample construction | Description |
| and | bidichecker.FilterFactory.and(filter1, filter2) | Composes two filters by and-ing their suppressions |
| atText | bidichecker.FilterFactory.atText() | Matches against the entire atText field of an error |
| atTextRegexp | bidichecker.FilterFactory.atTextRegexp(regexp) | Matches against the entire atText field of an error |
| followedByText |
bidichecker.FilterFactory.followedByText(string) | Matches against the entire followedByText field of an error |
| followedByTextRegexp | bidichecker.FilterFactory.followedByTextRegexp(regexp) | Matches against the entire followedByText field of an error |
| locationClass | bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationClass(string) | Matches against an entire class name on any ancestor element containing the error location (including any containing frames) |
| locationClassRegexp | bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationClassRegexp(regexp) | Matches against an entire class name on any ancestor element containing the error location (including any containing frames) |
| locationId | bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationId(string) | Matches against an entire id attribute on any ancestor element containing the error location (including any containing frames) |
| locationIdRegexp | bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationIdRegexp(regexp) | Matches against an entire id attribute on any ancestor element containing the error location (including any containing frames) |
| locationXpath | bidichecker.FilterFactory.locationXpath(string) | Matches an XPath expression against the element of the error location (including the elements representing any containing frames). This does not match against ancestor elements; to match against everything within a given location, you can add "/*" to the XPath expression. There is currently no mechanism for restricting the XPath match to specific frames. NOTE: XPaths are not currently supported on Internet Explorer. |
| not | bidichecker.FilterFactory.not(filter) | Inverts the meaning of a filter |
| or | bidichecker.FilterFactory.or(filter1, filter2) | Composes two filters by or-ing their suppressions |
| precededByText | bidichecker.FilterFactory.precededByText(string) | Matches against the entire precededByText field of an error |
| precededByTextRegexp | bidichecker.FilterFactory.precededByTextRegexp(regexp) | Matches against the entire precededByText field of an error |
| severityFrom | bidichecker.FilterFactory.severityFrom(severityThreshold) | Matches any errors with severity at the given threshold, or less severe than it. It is generally advisable to suppress errors of severity level 4; they often indicate insigificant issues. |
| type | bidichecker.FilterFactory.type(typeValue) | Matches against the exact type field of an error |
The "meat" of BidiChecker is the actual BiDi checks. BidiChecker runs a series of checkers on the web page DOM, each of which scans for a particular kind of error and generates error reports. This section catalogs the checks implemented so far and the errors they produce.
Checks whether the overall declared directionality of the web page (or root element being checked) is the same as that intended by the developer (as specified in the call to BidiChecker). If, for example, the developer specified an intended directionality of RTL, but the page body or root element is LTR, an error will be reported. This type of error is always severity level 1.
[1] Overall directionality not LTR
More information about declaring the overall page directionality.
Checks for strongly-directional characters (such as English, Hebrew or Arabic letters) which are in an area declared to have the opposite directionality. Each run of opposite-directionality text
(possibly mixed in with neutrals) is reported as an error.
[2] Undeclared RTL text: 'שלום' followed by '.' in

When an opposite-directionality element is followed by a number (possibly with
intervening neutral characters), the standard Unicode bidi algorithm extends the
opposite-directionality region to encompass the subsequent number. This
can, and often does, cause text garbling. For examples, follow the link below.
We identify spillover by the following heuristic criteria:

Intelligent systems are computer based systems that are highly connected, have massive processing power and perform complex applications. They have the ability to represent, reason about and interpret data. They analyse the data and try to derive its meaning so that they can come up with strategies to act on the results of the analysis.
Intelligent systems have many applications, from processing large databases to controlling robots and drones. The ideas and concepts are drawn from the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and a range of fields such as psychology, linguistics and brain sciences, forming many interdisciplinary relationships. They also play a large role in our day to day lives, especially in areas such as transportation, health and entertainment.2
John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" in his 1955 proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Artificial Intelligence conference, which gave birth to the field.
During this period, people were amazed that computers were able to accomplish impressive tasks like solving problems and proving theorems in geometry and algebra.
This period also marked the completion of the world's first full-scale anthropomorphic robot built in the world, WABOT-1.
The field had little progress due to limited computing power and the lack of data.
The constraint in computing power led to tremendous amount of time required to find optimal solutions to many problems. This also meant that many AI solutions could never be scaled up into useful systems.
The lack of data was an impeding factor to the progress of vision and natural language AI applications, which required a vast amount of information.

The popularisation of a form of neural network (Hopfield network) and a new method for training them (backpropagation) led to the progress in optical character and speech recognition.
With the rise of the microcomputers, desktop computers became more powerful than the more expensive Lisp machines that used specialised AI hardware. This led to the sudden collapse of a half a billion dollars industry, and the cutting of research funds.
Algorithms developed by AI researchers started to integrate into larger systems and industrial processes such as data mining, medical diagnosis and Google's search engine.
Access to large amount of data and advanced machine learning techniques, paired with greater computing power, led to the successful progress and research of various applications and problems.

Last saturday I met up with some friends and we decided to go party in the mountains of Costa Rica. We went up there, about 32 km away from the city, a perfect party place. It was about 2:00 pm, and we were all happy.
We set up the DJ’ing equipment and immediately I came up with the idea of seeking shrooms since there are cows in the lawn. We didn’t find any, as the excessive rain let little sun set the appropriate temperature for them to grow.
Frustrated as we were, we decided to drop some acid and party on. We did, and I dropped ½ a hit. I began DJ’ing, mixing some stomping goa to warm us up. I did excellent mixes, by the way. A friend I met that day came up to me with some pills, Nootropil (Piracetam), said to have a powerful enhancement on psychotropic drugs such as acid. It is said to connect both brain hemispheres, thus multiplicating the visuals effects. He said that hallucinations are tens of times more intense, more vivid, and the rush of creativity is catapulted. One can experience a trip that will change one’s life, as I did. I dropped 3 orange pills (Nootropil), hoping I would have a good trip. That friend told me they were actually great for the brain, it is given to Alzheimer’s so they can have mind clarity.
As I began to mix the stompiest goa I have, the effects kicked in. It was a good trip, the good vibes seemed to come from everywhere. I met a guy, and within two or three looks on the eye, I knew we would have a great trip together.
We seemed to focus on the same details of the trip, laughing at exactly the same things. Explosive laughter, which creates a chain reaction, you know? Sometimes I would try to explain something I thought or vice versa, and by saying 4 or 5 words he would perfectly understand. Let’s say, I thought the sound of a really quiet mouse in the house was coming from under the ground, I would say something quite –broken- such as “did you hear that?” and before I could finish he would come up with something like “it’s an underground rabbit that’s trying to run away from your mouse, and just because you heard it, doesn’t mean it’s really there, cause maybe we’re just in a weird trip, and this would mean we need to go under the ground, because I feel some vibes are in there. Let’s seek that mouse... wait a minute…”. And there we exploded in acid laughter. Everytime he said something, he made more sense, and vice-versa. Let’s say his name’s Morg.
Hours later, we had discovered we were extremely attached to each other, and we were acting as One. At night, we decided to drop some xtc. I dropped half a pinky (awesome). It was the first time I did x, and I thought doing it while tripping must be great. I didn’t feel anything for about 40 minutes. At that time, I went upstairs to find out the rest of my friends were laying on the floor, in a chill out bliss. I sat with them but felt a little uncomfortable, so I went back downstairs to sit in an armchair.  I replied I didn’t, because I hadn’t felt anything acid hadn’t made me feel before. I started to feel anxious, I smoked a joint and relaxed.
Morg repeatedly touched my knee and said “do you feel this now?”. When he was doing it, I didn’t feel anything unusual, but upon removing his fingers from my knee I felt a direct connection with him, and a growing feeling of bliss. I started to play with the wind, because it felt incredibly good. One thing about xtc, it can make you extremely talkative and that can be all in your trip. You may experience nothing, but if you stop talking you’ll realise how high you are.
He suggested me to stop talking for a while, but when I did it, I tried to talk to him mentally. I was very surprised to find out I could, and everytime I did it felt like energy flowing throught the spine and giving me extreme pleasure.
Later on, he and my friends decided to drop another 1/2, to which I couldn’t agree because I had no money and no pills left. Morg sat next to me and said “I couldn’t take more x without you, you’ve been my trip partner and I need you to go up with me”. He gave me a full hit, and I took half of it because it was my first time and I was afraid I could OD. I didn’t notice much difference, except for a couple of rushes where I couldn’t stop trancing with pleasure. One hour later, we decided to drop the rest of it. That’s where I became demented.
The acid trip was unnoticeable at that time, but the connection with Morg was growing and it didn’t seem to stop. As of then, I could see in his eyes what he was thinking, and we could easily communicate telepathically. I decided to let go of everything and enhance the trip. I mixed some more minutes, and left a mixed Oakenfold CD playing. I went outside to find out I was alone, but my friends were about 50 meters from the house. I walked up to them, and as I appeared we all hugged together, it was a fivefold hug. I felt intense pleasure, almost orgasmic, and found out that place, by the woods, was an energy spot.
I walked up to the house, and Morg ran up to me and yelled “I can’t believe how hard I’m tripping! Dude, I’m still tripping, this is unbelievable!” As he said that, I felt all the acid multiply its effect exponentially, to the point of extreme delirium. And that happened in about 20 seconds, an incredible rush. I was hit so hard I immediately began to hallucinate... 11 hours after dropping such a small amount of lsd.
But the weirdest part of the story, is that Morg and I fusionned into a Perfect Unity, to the point of hallucinating exactly the same things at the same time. It was a collective trip, something unbelievable.   It was so detailed I could see the trees around it, the waterfalls, the evaporation, the rocks, everything in full colour. We were screaming in ecstasy because those waterfalls were intensely beautiful.
All of a sudden, ALL the sky split in two, with a tidal wave effect –Moses-like- when he spreads the oceans in the bible. This happened with a rain of energy, I could feel drops of energy going inside me, it felt incredibly good. When the show ended, I looked at Morg and shouted “DID YOU SEE AND FEEL AND HEAR THAT????” to which he looked overwhelmed at me: “dude, don’t tell me you just saw a blackhole which morphed into two niagaras and the skysplit and the rain!!!”
We were so shocked by that we just hugged intensely. That hug felt incredibly great, totally blissful. That’s where we realised we were going in a sort of a cycle. We had a “loop”: 1. we went out the house with The Joint (it was sort of sacred, don’t ask me why). 2. we sat on a bench, smoked one or two hits, talked for a minute or two. 3. we had an intense hallucination. 4. we went to the energy-point where we had all hugged together. 5. we hugged intensely and had an illumination, kind of an answer to the trip. 6. we went back inside the house, and upon entering it, the vibes of the music and our friends rushing, we would rush all the way up and rush them all up as well. 7. we talked to them about our trip and had a good laugh.
That loop, we did it at least 20 times uninterruptedly, each time hallucinating stronger and stronger. Once we saw a huge metallic sphere, with red crossed bars and airplanes, YES, AIRPLANES, inside, outside and everywere. I swear we saw exactly the same thing, and I felt Morg see the same thing.
We came up with a theory: rushes come in loops. Therefore, our loops must be the same frequency and hence in phase. That’s why we had so much energy, our trip was in fact a multiplied trip from his and mine. But the people inside the house had rushes in cycles that didn’t match, so there was kind of a permanent high ambient inside the house, due also to the dreamtrance that was playing. The loop we did together was a representation of the cycle of our rushes, so that’s why we always hallucinated at the same bench and felt everything identical.
I once got connected with the Moon. Everything seemed to produce its own vibes, and I could lowen or highen my frequency to be in phase with them. I got connected with the trees, the rocks, the bushes, the people, Morg intensely, and as I look up to the sky, I saw the most perfect Moon I ever saw. It wasn’t full, but the details were so subtle I immediately reached up to it. I felt it try to reach me, and I saw MY HAND MORPHING INTO THE MOON, which had by the time the size of half my visual field.
Morg was feeling the energy flowing intensely as well.
It was unbelievable. A sort of Love where only the spiritual is important, physical is insignificant. A direct connection, a perfect Unity.
The trip only seemed to keep on multiplicate its amplitude, we were having an extreme fantastic delirium, supernatural demency, ecstatic and peaceful bliss, orgasmic interpretation of all signals, catapulted creativity.
We were in a different world. When the sun finally started to rise, I felt weeks had gone through, as if my trip had lasted about 45 days. One side of the sky was dark, the other one was light. This made us very confused, and we assumed it was about 5:30 P.M!! but instead of going down, the sun was going up! We were laughing hysterically when we saw a huge purple locomotive going thru the sky with sounds, having morphed from a hand that was spreading like a flower. When it reached the center of the sky, it morphed into a seed. I said “look, it’s going to grow” and it did! A beautiful shining deep green tree sprouted from the seed, and slowly began to “expand”, to give birth to a smaller, more yellow-ish tree. We assumed it was the big tree’s son.
When we looked at each other, and we realised what we had saw, we were hysterically screaming, but in extreme bliss of delirium, the greatest feeling I had ever had.
The sun was coming up, and the sky began to dance with the music. That was the most perfect trip ever. The sky seemed reversed when we looked at it again, we were thinking out loud: “I can’t believe I’m tripping THIS hard!”...
We decided we needed to sleep, and upon closing our eyes we had lots of visualisations we shared by thought.
I still don’t believe the intensity of that trip, the connection, the loss of the notion of time...
  I felt happier than ever, since I love the Nature.
Today, days after the epic journey, I still feel myself rolling from time to time, mostly when I smoke weed and listen to trance music. Like now :). I feel connected to Morg even though I met him that day. I know a long and lovely relationship is born, which makes me internally smile in bliss.

Gold: Fishing For A Bottom
by Equity Management AcademySummary
- Gold has come down to a major area of trend-line support in a descending channel.
- For the weekly, the target is $1,479.
- If you are long from $1,441, B1, and the market reaches $1,479, start to take profits or reduce your positions.
We are taking a short trade in gold based on the fact that the market closed below the Sell 1 (S1) level at $1,468.20. Automatically, when I come into the trading room, the automated artificial intelligence algorithm, the Variable Changing Price Momentum Indicator (VC PMI), provides the information I need to trade the next day. We were long gold on a swing trade and took profits at $1,469, which we did. We profited a net $3,180. I went neutral, and the VC PMI tells you that if you take the signal and go short to place a stop at the level above, which is $1,469.
You can see here how I update my subscribers when I do a real trade.

Metals alert
Fast market to upside
I know my stop is $1,469. If it closes above $1,469, I am out at the market. The target is $1,462, which the VC PMI also provides. Make sure that your stop is on a 15-minute bar. I don't use straight stops. This gives me the opportunity when the market is overbought to benefit from the volatility of the market as it comes back down to the mean. The artificial intelligence identifies where the average price is. You can lower your stop to your entry point as the market comes down, so that if the market comes back up, the worst case is that you break even.
Looking at the Bollinger band, we can see that the market is at an extreme. I am going to flatten my short position and I have one contract. You can do more than one contract. I am going to take the profit on the one contract, increasing my profit to $3,310 for day trading for the day. I am going to now let the market do its thing. The market is telling me that this is a level that is extremely over-sold based on the Bollinger band. Only 5% of the time will the market continue from here down, but it is rare. It might get down to $1,462, but it is rare and you should trade the highest probabilities.
When the market comes down and touches a signal, it activates a setup for you, either up or down, based on the Buy 1 or 2, Sell 1 or 2 levels, which is when you go neutral. If you trade at the mean, it is a 50/50 standard deviation either way. If you decide to do that, I suggest you use a reversal stop. When the price reaches the average for the day, the momentum goes neutral. Using the 15-minute bar, if the price closes above the average, it identifies a bullish sentiment for the market. I don't trade at the mean. I want to trade the extreme levels, S1 or S2, B1 or B2, which are much higher probability trades of the price reverting back to the mean. We use the VC PMI's five level structure to make the highest probability trades. The VC PMI provides specific entry, exit and stop points to trade for the next day or week.
Gold
Gold has come down to a major area of trend-line support in a descending channel. It is a correction of the big move since May/early June. The market has reverted back to the mean. When the Variable Changing Price Momentum Indicator (VC PMI) identifies the Buy 2 (B2) level, there is a 90% probability that a reversion to the mean will occur, which happened on the 12th. The market was testing the level of demand that the VC PMI identified.
With trades based on the VC PMI recently, we are up more than $3,000. Now we are neutral and are waiting to see what the market wants to do. The next target for the daily signals after reaching $1,469 is $1,474.
Weekly
The weekly is almost the same chart pattern as the daily chart. The weekly data is telling us that the market almost came down to the $1,441 level, which we recommended in our previous report. As the market came down to $1,441, we said it was a 90% probability that the market would revert back to the mean, which it did. The key is to find the extreme levels above or below the mean for the daily, weekly or monthly, and then trading at those extremes.
For the weekly, the target is $1,479. If you are holding stocks or ETFs, watch what the market does when it gets to that level. If you are long from $1,441, B1, and the market reaches $1,479, start to take profits or reduce your positions. You are looking at a $38 move, which produced about $3,200 out of that move when we traded it.

Dot maps show political data without distorting by population. Regular county maps skew red, as more rural areas vote Republican, however this is misleading because these counties often have less population than more urbanized ones. Dot maps are an attempt to bridge this divide between geography and vote, and this map attempts to do so.
Wayne County (Detroit) lies in the bottom right, and is much larger due to its population. Notice the dark blue rectangle in this county, and this is Detroit, where Democrats ran up the vote through African American communities (which vote lobsidedly Democrat).
In contrast, you can notice the sea of lighter red that surrounds the blue cities. These are the rural areas, which have less "representation" vs a county map, because of population. However, most rural areas have a lighter shade of red; Rural Michigan tends to lean Republican but is not as republican as rurals in the U.S.
Trump's most likely path to victory lies in keeping the Detroit suburbs (Macomb, top right), while regaining many skeptical religious conservatives in Western Michigan (Ottawa, Kent). Trump's margins among rural areas must grow to offset losses in the educated suburbs and Ann Arbor/Lansing. It's a tall task but if there is someone best positioned to pull it off, it is our President.
Democrats have many options, and small events such as a turnout adjustment could easily flip the state that was decided by 11,000 votes (0.13%). Democrats should continue to campaign heavily here, something that was neglected in 2016. Michigan's junior Democratic senator is also up for reelection in a campaign expected to be fierce. Finally, turnout in Detroit could revert to normal from historically low participation rates in 2016. Even a small shift, albiet a few percentage points could add tens of thousands of votes for Democrats, crucial in a race decided by 11,000 votes. Every small shift matters and Democrats should not take anything for granted.

Below are instructions for downloading and installing Umple, a model-oriented programming technology that lets you model in code. Here is more information about Umple, or try it online without downloading, using the UmpleOnline tool.
Umple can be used on Mac-OS, Windows or Linux. You have three downloading options described below: A) Command-line; B) Eclipse; C) Docker
To obtain the full tree with source code go to Umple's Github main page. The list of recent changes can be found by clicking here
Requirement: An up-to-date Java 8 JVM. The compiler has been tested and is also known to work under the latest Java 9 JVM and generate code compatible with Java 9, but it may generate some deprecation warnings with Java 9.
Options:
To run the Umple compiler on the command line
java -jar umple.jar <options> <files>
Requirements: Java (as above), and the latest Eclipse with modeling tools.
Full directions for installing the Eclipse plugin can be found on this Umple Wiki Page.
The update site to install Umple in Eclipse is http://cruise.eecs.uottawa.ca/org.cruise.umple.eclipse.plugin.update.site
Requirement: Docker installed on your computer.
Umple provides a Docker image of Umpleonline that allows you to explore all the features of Umple through a web browser, with the server running locally on your computer. To use this, do the following after installing Docker. Further information can be found on Umple's Docker Hub page
docker pull umple/umpleonline
docker run --rm -ti -p 8000:80 umple/umpleonline >/dev/null
To mount one of your directories as a working directory that the Docker Umpleonline can access, you can do the following, where {dir} is the full pathname of the directory on your local machine and {dir:t} is the directory name without any path.
docker run --rm -ti -p 8000:80 -v {dir}:{dir:t} umple/umpleonline >/dev/null
You can also accomplish the above and guarantee persistence of your data by downloading and installing our script called udock and passing it the optional argument -d {dir}
If you didn't do the above, and want to copy code from a running image to your host machine, do the following:
docker ps
docker exec {container} ls -t var/www/ump/ | head -1
docker cp {container}:/var/www/ump/{dirname} ~/tmp/fromDocker
The Docker UmpleOnline option is not designed for large-scale projects; for those use the command-line (A) or Eclipse (B) downloads above. However, the Docker option can
Refer to the Umple user manual for comprehensive help programming in Umple. The API quick reference and grammar quick reference may be of particular help for power users.

First off they are fairly alike. If you try hard enough I think you can figure it out just fine. Some things are noted differently like the == sign. In JavaScript, the triple equals sign helps determine if two objects are the same exact object. And the var in JS looks a lot like hashes in ruby. But both really seem to be very alike. I still have much more to learn about them both, however, but here is what I have found.
Both Ruby and JavaScript have Arrays, which are more of less logically the same; however, the Object Array functions (JavaScript) and the Class Array methods (Ruby) have different syntax. For example, to find the index of an element in an array, in JavaScript you write arrayName.indexOf("element");. In Ruby, this is accomplished by array_name.index("element")
Objects (similar to Ruby’s hash), declared as variables, are a way of organizing key/value pairs. For example, var cat = {color: "grey", name: "Spot", age: "12"}; To access the value of an associated key, you can call that on the variable name: cat.name returns "Spot". You can also easily delete a key/value pair by writing delete cat.name. To declare a new key/value pair, write: cat.gender = "male";. This appends this new data point to the end of the Object.
So they both have slight differences. But I feel like its not so scary and should be mastered by all of those who wish to code.
Cheers

Honesty, its a very tricky word. I believe firmly that we are taught from day one to lie. For example, “How was my cooking?” asks your girl friend. “GREAT” you reply as you are throwing it away. Or how great is this new shirt, and we always say good. Or how do you feel, and if you feel bad you simply say fine. Its so strange how we are not allowed in society to state the truth if it is going to hurt someones feeling. But that is the way it is. So I try to be honest all the time. And sometimes it gets me into trouble. But mostly people tend to respect me for it. They know I am not BSing them at all.
I give advice all the time to my friends. They always come to me for help. Even people at work. I am, for some reason, much wiser than my age should let me be. So I give advice all the time. The last big advice I gave was to a friend who got caught with some weed in his room. And I told him “I do not hang out with druggies.” then I hung up the phone on him. And this guy is one of my best friends. He got the message and has since quit.
I have a very unique situation with my whole life. On one hand my health is a little bit of a challenge and I am overcoming it right now. And on the other my grandparents are millionaires and I get to live that lifestyle when my parents are not. I have also moves all over the US. And lived in many different areas and I know how to deal with many different people. So for me when I am getting down, I look down. And I see where I stand. It is never as bad as it could be.
Cheers

Builds a new query using the supplied information. The application Microsoft Query nor any dialog boxes are displayed.
Syntax
QUERY.GET.DATA(connection_string, query_text, keep_query_def, field_names, row_numbers, destination)
QUERY.GET.DATA?(connection_string, query_text, keep_query_def, field_names, row_numbers, destination)
Connection_string supplies information, such as the data source name, user ID, and passwords, necessary to making a SQL connection to an external data source. For example: "DSN=Myserver; Server=server1; UID=dbayer; PWD=buyer1; Database=nwind".
You must define the data source name (DSN) used in connection_string before you try to connect to it.
You can enter connection_string as an array or a string. If connection_string exceeds 250 characters, you must enter it as an array.
If QUERY.GET.DATA is unable to access the data source using connection_string, it returns the #N/A error value.
Query_text is the SQL language query to be executed on the data source.
Keep_query_def is a logical value that, if TRUE or omitted, preserves the query definition. If FALSE, the query definition is lost and the data from the query no longer constitutes a data range.
Field_names is a logical value that, if TRUE or omitted, places field names from Microsoft Query into the first row of the data range. If FALSE, the field names are discarded.
Row_numbers is a logical value that, if TRUE, places row numbers from Microsoft Query into the first column in the data range. If FALSE or omitted, the row numbers are discarded.
Destination is the location as a cell reference where you want the data placed. If destination is in a current data range then that data range is changed to reflect the new SQL statement. The default destination is the currently selected cell or range.
Remarks
If the information provided is not sufficient to create the query then the error value #REF! is returned.
If Microsoft Query is unavailable or can not be found, #N/A is returned.
If connection string is longer than 255 characters, the string will be truncated at the last semi-colon.

Doing mlp on mnist, there are 55,000 training data. The mlp is taking 1 day per epoch as there are 10^9 computations per firefly thus taking 1 minute per firefly. To decrease the time taken, we can use the optimised firefly algorithm whose time complexity is O(nlogn). and take smaller minibatch and lesser variant size.


THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (2001) / ***
Directed by John Boorman. Screenplay by Andrew Davies, John Le Carré and Boorman, based on the novel by Le Carré. Starring Pierce Brosnan, Geoffrey Rush, Jamie Lee Curtis. Running time: 110 minutes. Rated AA for mature subject matter and coarse language by the MFCB. Reviewed on October 28th, 2001.
By SHANNON PATRICK SULLIVAN
Synopsis: British spy Andy Osnard (Brosnan) is banished to Panama, where his superiors believe he will be incapable of stirring up trouble. But Osnard soon enters into a shady arrangement with tailor Harry Pendel (Rush), whose wife Louisa (Curtis) works in the administration of the Panama Canal. With Harry's reluctant assistance, Andy begins to weave a complex plan involving rebels and the Canal to hoodwink his bosses; and Harry may get caught in the crossfire.
Review: "The Tailor Of Panama" comes across as the most cynical James Bond movie ever filmed. Brosnan is an obvious casting choice, devilishly toying with the audience's preconceived expectations; where Bond is stylish, charismatic and heroic, Osnard is stylish, charismatic and utterly selfish. And whereas the typical James Bond movie is larger than life, full of explosions and colourful villains, "Tailor" is more of a character piece, and avoids vilifying anyone in particular. This is a tale of the greed of men and the stupidity of nations: how some choose to profit from it, and some merely try to survive it. Rush is excellent as Harry, a man who quickly realises he is caught up in something over which he has no control. Curtis, though, feels a bit wasted as Louisa, and her character is the most ill-defined of the principal cast. Boorman impresses with his careful direction, achieving an even balance between the script's more adrenaline-fueled moments and its essential intricacy. He also takes great advantage of the lush Panamanian setting, the whole movie looking as though it was filmed through a haze of heat and humidity. The ending does feel a bit unsatisfying, with events moving so quickly that it threatens the movie's coherency. But as an example of an espionage picture without the usual cartoonish superheroics, "The Tailor Of Panama" is impressive.

| vars_pull {tidyselect} | R Documentation |
This function powers dplyr::pull()
and various functions of the
tidyr package. It is similar to vars_select()
but returns only
one column name and has slightly different semantics: it allows
negative numbers to select columns from the end.
vars_pull(vars, var = -1)
vars |
A character vector of existing column names. |
var |
A variable specified as:
The default returns the last column (on the assumption that's the column you've created most recently). This argument is taken by expression and supports quasiquotation (you can unquote column names and column locations). |
The selected column name as an unnamed string.
# It takes its argument by expression: vars_pull(letters, c) # Negative numbers select from the end: vars_pull(letters, -3) # You can unquote variables: var <- 10 vars_pull(letters, !! var)

This project is used to deploy MyWebsite on the following sites:
- Localhost - for development work
- test.markjohnwilson.net - for testing
- www.markjohnwilson.net - production
It uses a number of technologies including:
- Python's Django framework
- AWS
- HTML, CSS, Javascript
- The Bootstrap framework
The system is designed to integrate with AWS's CodePipeline with GitHub being the source.
The site was based on the Aladin template written largely using bootstrap 4. As such it may not work effectively on older browsers.
Installation for this project is complicated.
A makefile exists in core directory where the manage.py file exists and this may make using this code easier. I would normally test the scripts on Linux and create a batch file for windows, but I didn't want to install another 2 MySQL databases on my computer (I have Windows and Ubuntu running on parallels). As such this makefile has only been tested on a mac, it MAY work on linux and I have not provided an equivalent for Windows.
Typical commands include:
Two docker-compose scripts and one dockerfile have been provided in the docker directory which can be used to try the system out in an independent manner. However some familiarity with docker will be required as there is a risk that docker containers and images could be left on your system. In addition to this, some characteristics exist on AWS and there may be issues with Docker connecting to the internet. This may stop some features and tests working on the app, such as the contactme section.
When doc-up has been run, it creates a MySQL database image and then waits for this to be ready. This normally takes less than 60 seconds to initiate. Once initiated, the site can be seen on localhost:8080
The docker-compose files use a number of environment variables to connect to the database, these include:


Guevarra won’t leave DOJ
by Hector LawasJUSTICE Secretary Menardo Guevarra yesterday turned down his nomination as associate justice of the Supreme Court.
“I found out it was good, it was exciting, so (former Sandiganbayan) Justice (Raoul) Victorino thank you for nominating me but I’m still in love with the DOJ (Department of Justice), “ Guevarra said in a speech before members of the Prosecutors League of the Philippines.
Guevarra was proposed by Victorino to the Judicial and Bar Council as replacement for Chief Diosdado Peralta as associate justice.
“I believe that he possesses the necessary credentials, professional experience and the motivation to discharge the duties as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,” Victorino’s letter to the JBC read in part.
The JBC is the constitutionally-mandated body to screen and vet nominees to key positions in the judiciary and the Office of the Ombudsman.
Under the 1987 Constitution, President Duterte has 90 days from Peralta’s appointment within which to appoint his replacement.
But Guevarra admitted that in 2016, he considered applying to the high court, saying that “it is one of my career options.”
“Do you know the feeling of someone who has always desired a wonderful person to be his or her spouse in the future? But somewhere along the way, he bumps into someone else whom he likes and desires,” Guevarra said.
