Learn the basics of using PPAPI to do 2D graphics from a C++ program running in Native Client. Modify our sample to turn fire into water. Develop inside Google Chrome, using our NaCl Development Environment Chrome App. While this codelab currently targets conventional Native Client using our GCC + GlibC based toolchain, the techniques involved are generally applicable.
For this codelab, you will need to install the our Beta NaCl Dev Environment App in your web browser.
Click here to install the environment.You will need to click “Install” to add the NaCl Dev Environment to your browser.
NOTE: This environment will leave a substantial (800MB) payload in your browser. See the cleanup section below to learn how to recover this space.
Once the installation is complete, run the app.
On the first run, it will download several packages. Once download is complete, you should see a bash prompt:
bash.nmf-4.3$
These development tools are a work in progress. At this point, they are a learning tool and demonstration of NaCl’s flexibility, but are not the recommended tools for a production application. In the future, that may change, but for the moment, to develop a substantial application for Native Client / Portable Native Client, we recommend you use the Native Client SDK.
NOTE: The NaCl Development Environment is not yet stable. Ideally, user data is preserved, but currently it can be lost during updates or sporadically. We're working to resolve this.The NaCl Dev Environment behaves like a mini-UNIX system. You start-up in bash command prompt. Standard UNIX commands like cd, ls, mkdir, rm, rmdir, etc. can be used to navigate and modify the Dev Environment’s virtual filesystem.
There are 3 locations mounted by the environment:
- /tmp mounts the HTML5 Filesystem temporary storage area.
- /mnt/html5 mounts the HTML5 Filesystem persistent storage area.
- Your home directory ~/, located in /home/user, mounts a portion of the HTML5 Filsystem persistent storage area that corresponds to the /mnt/html5/home directory.
Many of the steps in this tutorial will be easier to copy and paste into the Dev Environment. To copy and paste in the Dev Environment App, you will need to use the keyboard.
On your platform use:
- Loading... to Copy
- Loading... to Paste
To follow along in this codelab, you’ll need to use a text editor to modify various files in our development environment. There are currently two editor options, nano or vim. We have an Emacs port, but it is not yet available in the Dev Environment (coming soon). If you’re unsure what to pick, nano is simpler to start with and has on-screen help.
You can open nano like this:
$ nano <filename>
Here’s an online nano tutorial.
You can open vim like this:
$ vim <filename>
Here’s an online vim tutorial.
This tutorial also uses a revision control program called git.
Run these commands (with your info) to setup your ~/.gitconfig for use:
git config --global user.name "John Doe" git config --global user.email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Rather than start from nothing, for this codelab we’ve provided you with a zip file containing a starting point.
Download the codelab:
curl http://nacltools.storage.googleapis.com/cds2014/cds2014_cpp.zip -O
Unzip it:
unzip cds2014_cpp.zip
Go into the codelab directory:
cd cds2014_cpp
Create a new local git repo:
git init
Add everything:
git add .
 Use the following shockingly intuitive incantation:
make fire
You should now see a small popup window, smoldering away. If you click, you can make more fire! I think that’s pretty cool, but then I selected the institution of higher learning I attended based on the integral role fire played in its campus life.
Remarkably, not everyone enjoys the primal illusion of fire.
 This will require digging into some C++ code.
Before you begin, you’ll want to copy our fire program to a new name, since you might decide later that you like fire better, I know I do:
cp fire.cc water.cc git add water.cc git commit -am "adding water"
For this codelab, you’ll only need to change water.cc.
The task of turning fire into water involves two key challenges:
- Alter the red-yellow palette of fire into a blue-green one.
- Reverse upward rising flame into downward falling water.
- Seed the waterfall from the top instead of the bottom.
At this point you’ll want to open up water.cc in the editor you picked earlier.
While PPAPI’s 2D graphics API uses multi-component RGB pixels, our flame effect is actually monochrome. A single intensity value is used in the flame simulation. This is then converted to color based on a multi-color gradient. To alter the color-scheme, locate this palette, and exchange the red component (first) with the blue one (third).
Hint: Focus your energies on the CreatePalette function.
You can test you changes at any time with:
make water
Now there’s the small matter of gravity. While smoke, and well flame, rises, we want our water to go down.
The simulation of fire loops over each pixel, bottom row to top row, diffusing “fire stuff” behind the sweep. You’ll want to reverse this.
Hint: You’ll need to change the y loop direction in the UpdateFlames function.
While you can now use the mouse to inject a trickle of water. The small line of blue at the bottom isn’t much of a waterfall. Move it to the top to complete the effect.
Hint: You’ll want to change the area that the UpdateCoals function mutates.
In addition to learning a new appreciation for fire, you’ve also made water... And while dusting off your C/C++ image manipulation skills, you’ve discovered how easy it is to modify, build, and run a NaCl application that uses PPAPI.
2D graphics is fun, but now you’re ready to check out the wealth of other PPAPI interfaces available.
While our in-browser environment is rapidly evolving to become a complete development solution, for the broadest range of development options, check out the NaCl SDK.
Send us comments and feedback on the native-client-discuss mailing list, or ask questions using Stack Overflow’s google-nativeclient tag.
I hope this codelab has lit a fire in you to go out there, and bring an awesome C/C++ application to NaCl or PNaCl today!
The Chrome Dev Environment App installs >800MB into HTML5 Filesystem storage on your device. To recover this storage, uninstall the app from the Chrome Web Store.

If you just want the data, then all the data to replicate the analysis are bundled with the package. To install the package from GitHub:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("https://github.com/joelewis101/blantyreESBL")
The various data objects are described in the pkgdown site for
this package here,
and available via R in the usual way
(i.e. ?btESBL_participants
brings up the definitions for
the btESBL_participants
data. They are all lazy loaded so
will be available for use immediately; they all start with
btESBL_
to make it easy to choose the one you want using
autocomplete.
Reads from all isolates sequenced as part of this study have been
depositied in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA); accession numbers
are available in the btESBL_sequence_sample_metadata
data
frame, available on installing the package as above.
The analysis scripts to reproduce tables and figures for each manuscript are available as package vignettes; these can be built when downloading the package by running:
devtools::install_github(
"https://github.com/joelewis101/blantyreESBL",
build_vignettes = TRUE,
dependencies = TRUE )
The dependencies = TRUE
option will install all the
packages necessary to run the vignette. Building the vignettes may take
some time - you have been warned!
Alternatively the source code for the vignettes are
analysis.Rmd
analysis-ecoli.Rmd
and
analysis-kleb.Rmd
in the vignettes/
folder of
the GitHub
repo or the pkgdown site for
this package has a rendered version of each vignette.
The longitudinal modelling paper uses models fit with Stan, the probabilistic programming language, via the rstan R package. Unlike the rest if the vignettes (which run the analysis as they are built) the Stan models are not fit as part of the package vignettes as they take a long time to fit. The outputs of the models are available as data objects and a vignette provides instructions on how to fit and simulate from the posterior. The Stan code is available as .stan files in the package directory - see vignette for how to locate it.


Find Your Hyper Local Weather
A week of dangerous severe storms capable of spawning tornadoes, very large hail and damaging winds gusts is taking aim on parts of the Plains, Midwest and South.
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has placed a swath from southern Nebraska into central Kansas and central Oklahoma under a moderate risk for severe weather Tuesday. A moderate risk is the second highest of the five categories SPC uses to outlook areas of possible severe weather on a given day.
When a moderate risk is issued, widespread severe storms are likely, including supercells. The most intense supercells could produce strong tornadoes and very large hail two inches or greater in diameter.

GROSSE POINTE BLANK A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1997 Edwin Jahiel
GROSSE POINTE BLANK (1997) *** 1/2 . Directed by George Armitage.Written by Tom Jankiewicz,D.V. DeVincentis, Steve Pink and John Cusack, from on a story by Jankiewicz.Photography, Jamie Anderson. Editing, Brian Berdan. Production design, Stephen Altman. Music, Joe Strummer. Cast: John Cusack (Martin Q. Blank), Minnie Driver (Debi Newberry), Alan Arkin (Dr. Oatman), Dan Aykroyd (Grocer), Joan Cusack (Marcella), Jeremy Piven (Paul), Hank Azaria (Lardner), et al. A Hollywood Pictures release. 106 minutes. Rated R (cartoonish violence)
John Cusack was about one-year old when the now-cultish gangster and revenge thriller "Point Blank" was released. It starred that fine vulgarian Lee Marvin.
The title "Grosse Pointe Blank" is a clever passepartout game of movie references. Grosse Pointe is a luxurious suburb of Detroit; the protagonist is a professional killer; he is played by polite, quiet and "civilized" John Cusack (a kid of anti-Lee Marvin); his nom-de-film is Martin Q. Blank, "blank" as in bullet and as in "faceless and unseen hitman." The full name echoes John Q. Public.
I was predisposed to enjoy that film, as a fan of the Evanston, Illinois siblings John and Joan Cusack, great performers with opposite styles, his calm and thoughtful, hers ebullient and funny.
In my University of Michigan days, Grosse Pointe impressed me with its wealthy lifestyle, mansions of automobile executives, yards full of luxurious cars. It remained in my memory as a mythical place, like a creation by F.Scott Fitzgerald. What an uncanny suprise it was when, in the course of the movie, a cafe waitress recites a menu which contains a "West Egg" omelet, a name straight from "The Great Gatsby"!
Big and small pleasures abound in the picture. Its weird action and dialogue take off immediately with an outrageous sequence of cartoon-like shootingss that itself is a takeoff of movies about killers.The parody is so smartly handled that it does not play for broad laughs nor in any way feel like deja vu.
This is a genuinely maverick film. Among its many early inventions is the meeting of rival killers Martin and Grocer (Aykroyd), arranged via their cellular phones. Their cars stop next to each other, but the cellular conversation continues at a distance of five feet. As the two men embrace they keep one hand on their guns. Grocer's has the off-the-wall plan to form a hitmen's union. When Martin refuses, Grocer decides to eliminate him.
Next comes the parody of advanced technology and movies where all the electronics and gizmos work like magic. But a new hit fizzles and now Martin also has after him the hitman of a dissatisfied client.
Parodying private-eye movies, delicious Joan Cusack plays Martin's goofy, kinetic yet super-capable secretary and Girl Friday. When she dresses in a jacket full of metal buttons, Martin addresses her as Sergeant Pepper. She practically forces reluctant Martin to attend a tenth high-school class reunion in Grosse Pointe.
The tempo is fast yet all the characters get a full treatment that, with just canny, economical sketches,gives them essence, existence and novelty. Martin visits his shrink Dr. Oatman (Alan Arkin). This sequence, and subsequent phone calls, are models of efficacious playing and probably Arkin's finest moment since his Captain Yossarian in that absurdist classic "Catch-22."
The psychiatrist has been told by his patient about his real profession. Arkin is nervous, worried and subdued. Martin tells him he's going to Detroit. The doctor sends him off with "Don't kill anybody for a few days. See how it feels." Martin: "I'll give it a shot." The doctor: " No, don't do that. Don't do ANYTHING."
By now we know that Martin is undergoing a psychological crisis and questioning his "raison d'etre." And that he will kill two birds with one stone (not Oliver) by going to Detroit for a hit, and to Grosse Pointe for the school reunion.
Why M.Q. Blank disappeared from circulation ten years ago, and why he will attend the affair, are not spelled out. True to its wild and woolly nature, the movie always either goes squarely for the absurd or else flirts with it. We learn, however, that he is obsessed with Debi (Minnie Driver), and that she was his sweetheart whom he inexplicably stood up at the senior prom, leaving her stranded in her $700 dress.
The most satisfying side of this movie is that absolutely everything happens in odd, different and amusing ways down to the killings or to Martin being stalked by enemies: weird Government men acting illegally, Mr. Grocer, plus another terminator.
Inventiveness is a principle but not a formula. It extends to the meeting of Martin and Debi. She is the phone-in disc-jockey (apparently the whole staff) of the alternative Radio Free Grosse Pointe (cf. Radio Free Europe). For the class reunion she promises "an all-80s, all-vinyl weekend."
There are more setups, encounters and absurdisms in scene after scene. Seldom underlined, they operate through strange little, eccentric, off-kilter slants. Each situation is different from its equivalent in other films. Like Martin in a mini-mart grandiosely called Ultimart, where he befuddles the sole, young employee. (It turns out that this was where Martin's house once stood). Like the store shootout where concealed weapons exceed the firing capacity of military machine-guns. Parody here parodies other parodies--something that is bound to fail, yet does not.
Many of Martin's meetings are low-key but keep the audience in stitches. He encounters an old classmate who sells real-estate and has sold his principles to the devil Money. He gives this man's clients an out-of-nowhere sales pitch. He runs into a former teacher. The school bell rings. "I must go now" says she, "They're playing my song." His visit to his dotty Mom in a retirement home is memorable in its do-almost-nothing simplicity. At the class reunion, the former schoolmates have short, funny and unforced lines. Cusack's timing and cool are letter- perfect.
The instant resumption of the affair with Debi is a charmer helped by her broadcasting her feelings to all listeners, taking the initiative, sitting an embarrassed Martin next to live microphones. This follows the familiar structure of movies or TV episodes where two threads are used, in this case the killer and the romance. But it is done with such novelty and delightfully un-telegraphed moments that they take the edge off the familiar, such as the traumatisms of school reunions or the bloody killings -- the latter always done with comic-book violence akin to the surrealism of Jean-Luc Godard.
Between vigorous actions "GPB" takes potshots, throws darts at or suavely mocks an array of people, values and situations, without any traces of rancor. The tangled web of the plot has no major, logical guiding lines for the audience, yet it piles smoothly joke upon witty line upon gag.
True, past the brilliantly clever first part, it is impossible to keep up the level of interest, pace and inventions. Inevitably, there comes the time of "where do we go from here?" I was conscious of this, but even so, it is no fatal illness. There's also a small problem with the dialogue. Intelligently written, fast and often overlapping in cinema-verite style, it becomes sometimes hard to catch -- unlike the clear sound of the Debi-Martin wet kissess.
In the end-credits, a song keeps the faith with the movie's spirit. It is "Matador," sung with Latin brio by, appropriately, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.
John Cusack wrote the script with several Evanston buddies and cast at least one old pal in the film. It is said that a camel is a horse made by a committee, yet this movie breaks the rule and comes up with a Pegasus.

This is a masked input plugin for the jQuery javascript library. It allows a user to more easily enter fixed width input where you would like them to enter the data in a certain format (dates,phone numbers, etc). It has been tested on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. A mask is defined by a format made up of mask literals and mask definitions. Any character not in the definitions list below is considered a mask literal. Mask literals will be automatically entered for the user as they type and will not be able to be removed by the user.The following mask definitions are predefined:
First, include the jQuery and masked input javascript files.
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.maskedinput.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Next, call the mask function for those items you wish to have masked.
jQuery(function($){
$("#date").mask("99/99/9999");
$("#phone").mask("(999) 999-9999");
$("#tin").mask("99-9999999");
$("#ssn").mask("999-99-9999");
});
Optionally, if you are not satisfied with the underscore (‘_’) character as a placeholder, you may pass an optional argument to the maskedinput method.
jQuery(function($){
$("#product").mask("99/99/9999",{placeholder:" "});
});
Optionally, if you would like to execute a function once the mask has been completed, you can specify that function as an optional argument to the maskedinput method.
jQuery(function($){
$("#product").mask("99/99/9999",{completed:function(){alert("You typed the following: "+this.val());}});
});
Optionally, if you would like to disable the automatic discarding of the uncomplete input, you may pass an optional argument to the maskedinput method
jQuery(function($){
$("#product").mask("99/99/9999",{autoclear: false});
});
You can now supply your own mask definitions.
jQuery(function($){
$.mask.definitions['~']='[+-]';
$("#eyescript").mask("~9.99 ~9.99 999");
});
You can have part of your mask be optional. Anything listed after ‘?’ within the mask is considered optional user input. The common example for this is phone number + optional extension.
jQuery(function($){
$("#phone").mask("(999) 999-9999? x99999");
});
If your requirements aren’t met by the predefined placeholders, you can always add your own. For example, maybe you need a mask to only allow hexadecimal characters. You can add your own definition for a placeholder, say ‘h’, like so: $.mask.definitions['h'] = "[A-Fa-f0-9]";
Then you can use that to mask for something like css colors in hex with a mask "#hhhhhh"
.
jQuery(function($){
$("#phone").mask("#hhhhhh");
});
By design, this plugin will reject input which doesn’t complete the mask. You can bypass this by using a ‘?’ character at the position where you would like to consider input optional. For example, a mask of “(999) 999-9999? x99999” would require only the first 10 digits of a phone number with extension being optional.
We generally recommend that you use bower to install jquery.maskedinput plugin.
$ bower install --save jquery.maskedinput
jQuery Masked Input uses NodeJS and GruntJS as it’s developer platform and build automation tool.
To get your environment setup correctly, you’ll need nodejs version 0.8.25 or greater installed. You’ll also need to install the grunt command line tool:
$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
Once node is installed on your system all that you need to do is install the developer dependencies and run the grunt build:
$ npm install
$ grunt
All of the tests for jQuery Masked Input are run using the jasmine test runner.


Cresswell, Kellen G., John C. Stansfield, and Mikhail G. Dozmorov. “SpectralTAD: An R Package for Defining a Hierarchy of Topologically Associated Domains Using Spectral Clustering.” BMC Bioinformatics 21, no. 1 (December 2020): 319.
SpectralTAD
is a TAD caller that uses a modified form of spectral clustering to quickly identify hierarchical topologically associating domains (TADs). Users input a contact matrix and receive a BED file containing the coordinates of TADs and their levels in a hierarchy. The Level 1 TADs are generally large, well-defined, while the subsequent levels are less well-pronounced yet sufficiently distinct to be recognized as TADs.
The two main functions are SpectralTAD()
and SpectralTAD_Par()
. SpectralTAD()
is a function for calling TADs. SpectralTAD_Par()
is the parallelized version. The input data can be an n x n, an n x (n+3), or a sparse 3-column matrix (see vignette (`browseVignettes(“SpectralTAD”))
If necessary, install the dependencies:
install.packages(c('dplyr', 'PRIMME', 'cluster',
'Matrix',
'parallel',
'magrittr',
'HiCcompare'))
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install('BiocParallel')
The latest version of SpectralTAD
can be directly installed from Github:
devtools::install_github('cresswellkg/SpectralTAD', build_vignettes = TRUE)
library(SpectralTAD)
Alternatively, the package can be installed from Bioconductor (to be submitted):
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("SpectralTAD")
library(SpectralTAD)
There are three types of input accepted:
These formats are explained in depth in the vignette.
#Load example contact matrix
data("rao_chr20_25_rep")
#Find TADs
tads = SpectralTAD(rao_chr20_25_rep, chr = "chr20", levels = 2, qual_filter = FALSE)
The output is a list where each entry corresponds to a level of the TAD hierarchy.
First level sample output:
chr start end Level
chr20 50000 1200000 1
chr20 1200000 2450000 1
chr20 2450000 3525000 1
chr20 3525000 4075000 1
Second level sample output:
chr start end Level
chr20 50000 550000 2
chr20<PHONE_NUMBER>00 2
chr20<PHONE_NUMBER>000 2
chr20 1200000 1750000 2

Onboarding
There are four types of entities that have to be onboarded in the system:
-
Citizens: the citizen will receive credentials from practitioners and health institutions, and will be able to present those credentials for verification by professionals and other institutions.
-
Practitioners: this is ageneral term used to denote all those professionals who can create and issue some specific types of credentials to the citizens. The term includes doctors and other health-related staff, but it can also denote some other professionals that can issuse credentials in some circumstances, like a police officer. They can issue credentials directly, without using any intermediate computer system of an intitution.
-
Health institutions: they can issue many types of credentials, via their computer systems. Those credentials are normally issued by employees of the institution using its computer systems, but the employees do not appear here. These employees do not have to be confused with the practitioner entity, which is a natural person that can issue credentials directly and independently from the health institution.
-
Officials: the term refers in general to those professionals who can verify credentials presented by citizens. They can make the verification directly, in the same way that practitioners can issue credentials directly. One example is a police officer checking in the street that a citizen holds an appropriate credential signed by a practitioner. Even though the term does not imply it, any citizen can also verify any credential presented by any other citizen. In this case, the citizen is acting in the role of an official.
Onboarding of natural persons
Citizen onboarding
We want to make onboarding as simple and fast as possible. Essentially, the onboarding process consists on the creation of the SSI identity, in the form of a DID. In this use case, we do not require that citizen identities are of the highest level according to the eIDAS classification and we can start with lower levels and escalate levels later. An example of this process is the following:
-
The citizen generates the DID locally with her mobile device and without registering the DID in any external system (so this DID will not be anchored to any blockchain). The DID is stored in her mobile only.
-
The citizen creates a self-attested credential including basic personal information like name, surname and phone number. The credential will be self-signed with the private key associated to the self-issued DID. This credential is also stored only in her mobile.
-
When visiting a doctor, the doctor verifies the real identity of the citizen and then acts in the role of practitioner and creates a credential to the citizen, signed by the private key of the DID of the doctor (which is public and registered in the blockchain). The credential issued by the doctor will include the personal data that the citizen entered when creating her self-issued credential.
-
The citizen stores the credential issued by the doctor in her mobile device. She can present the credential to any other entity, and the verifier can know that a doctor issued a statement about that citizen, including the verification of her personal data.
The next paragraph describes the onboarding process. For the other interactions, see the appropiate chapters.
Sequence diagram for citizen onboarding
The user downloads the mobile application and registers. There is not any interaction with any external server, all activity is local to the mobile so privacy is preserved. The password is entered to safeguard the data in the mobile (eg. encrypting the data). The system supports the fingerprint as a substitute of the password. The pair of keys are generated locally in the mobile and never leave the device.
After this process, the citizen has in her mobile a self-issued credential which is not yet validated by anybody, so the trust on the included personal data is very low. However, this data will be validated to some extent when a practitioner issues a health status credential, as shown in the following diagram.

Mathematics
History of Mathematics
Several civilizations — in China, India, Egypt, Central America and Mesopotamia — contributed to mathematics as we know it today. The Sumerians were the first people to develop a counting system. Mathematicians developed arithmetic, which includes basic operations, multiplication, fractions and square roots. The Sumerians’ system passed through the Akkadian Empire to the Babylonians around 300 B.C. Six hundred years later, in America, the Mayans developed elaborate calendar systems and were skilled astronomers. About this time, the concept of zero was developed.
As civilizations developed, mathematicians began to work with geometry, which computes areas and volumes to make angular measurements and has many practical applications. Geometry is used in everything from home construction to fashion and interior design.
Geometry went hand in hand with algebra, invented in the ninth century by a Persian mathematician, Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi. He also developed quick methods for multiplying and diving numbers, which are known as algorithms — a corruption of his name.
Algebra offered civilizations a way to divide inheritances and allocate resources. The study of algebra meant mathematicians were solving linear equations and systems, as well as quadratics, and delving into positive and negative solutions. Mathematicians in ancient times also began to look at number theory. With origins in the construction of shape, number theory looks at figurate numbers, the characterization of numbers, and theorems.
What is mathematics?
Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the building block for everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering, and even sports.
Since the beginning of recorded history, mathematic discovery has been at the forefront of every civilized society, and in use in even the most primitive of cultures. The needs of math arose based on the wants of society. The more complex a society, the more complex the mathematical needs. Primitive tribes needed little more than the ability to count, but also relied on math to calculate the position of the sun and the physics of hunting
Why Mathematics is important?
Can you imagine going to the store and paying for your groceries with a $100 bill. You just stand there and wait for the change, but have no idea how much it should be, or what amount of change you should receive. This is kind of like a first grader starting to use money, isn't it. They are all excited about spending and paying although they know nothing about doing math.
 You see, without math we just cannot live or survive. We need math in our everyday lives. Just doing the basic essentials is dependant on your ability to do math.
Let's take for instance time, in today's society one cannot survive without a watch. Just make an experiment and see how many times a day you use your watch. From getting up in the morning to going from one place to another, and going to bed at night, time is as essential as breathing to us. We are creatures of habit, planning every minute of our lives.
Driving from one city to another requires some basic skill in math. How else will you know the distance, how long it will take you to get there, or even be able to read the road signs? Planning your time has become a dependent way of life.
At some point in your life math will become boring, difficult and irrelevant, and you might think that this is not for you, but do you realize the severity of existing without math.  Basically every good position in the business world requires some form of math.
Without math you won't be able to do science, nursing, engineering, become a doctor or even get a business degree. Our very livelihood is dependant on our ability to calculate, subtract or multiply. You could skip math but then you would just have to be satisfied with working at the local diner. Serving soft drinks and washing floors, and even then, you need some math skills.
Doing every kind of sport requires a basic skill of knowing distance and calculating. In all of these you need to know math to understand strategy and planning your next move. Without math you won't be able to succeed in doing sports, and if you desire to excel in this area, you have to be smart. Gone are the days when it was the lazy ones that did sports. Today if you want to receive a sports scholarship you need to be smart. Sports have become a very competitive arena and only the fittest and the smartest will survive.
What about the world of gigs, hard drives, codes and data. Everything is dependant upon fast, easy and quick information. Every business has a computer and someone that knows how to work on it. Even a secretary needs some basic math skills. It's essential to her very livelihood.
So, why is math important in your life? We live in a fast growing sector of information and without math you won't be able to keep up. Don't lose your momentum, but be the wolf ahead of the pack. Leading them, and not following them. Be the trendsetter by becoming the best you can be.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

Yapps (Yet Another Python
Parser System) is an easy to use parser
generator that is written in Python and generates Python code. There
are several parser generator systems already available for Python,
including PyLR, kjParsing, PyBison, and mcf.pars,
but I had different goals for my parser. Yapps is simple, is easy to
use, and produces human-readable parsers. It is not the fastest or
most powerful parser. Yapps is designed to be used when regular
expressions are not enough and other parser systems are too much:
situations where you may write your own recursive descent parser.
Some unusual features of Yapps that may be of interest are:
- Yapps produces recursive descent parsers that are readable by
humans, as opposed to table-driven parsers that are difficult to
read. A Yapps parser for a simple calculator looks similar to the
one that Mark Lutz wrote by hand for Programming Python.
- Yapps also allows for rules that accept parameters and pass
arguments to be used while parsing subexpressions. Grammars that
allow for arguments to be passed to subrules and for values to be
passed back are often called attribute grammars. In many
cases parameterized rules can be used to perform actions at ``parse
time'' that are usually delayed until later. For example,
information about variable declarations can be passed into the
rules that parse a procedure body, so that undefined variables can
be detected at parse time. The types of defined variables can be
used in parsing as well--for example, if the type of X is
known, we can determine whether X(1) is an array reference or
a function call.
- Yapps grammars are fairly easy to write, although there are
some inconveniences having to do with ELL(1) parsing that have to be
worked around. For example, rules have to be left factored and
rules may not be left recursive. However, neither limitation seems
to be a problem in practice.
Yapps grammars look similar to the notation used in the Python
reference manual, with operators like *
, +
, |
,
[]
, and ()
for patterns, names (tim) for rules,
regular expressions ("[a-z]+"
) for tokens, and #
for
comments.
- The Yapps parser generator is written as a single Python module
with no C extensions. Yapps produces parsers that are written
entirely in Python, and require only the Yapps run-time module (5k)
for support.
- Yapps's scanner is context-sensitive, picking tokens based on
the types of the tokens accepted by the parser. This can be
helpful when implementing certain kinds of parsers, such as for a
preprocessor.
There are several disadvantages of using Yapps over another parser system:
- Yapps parsers are ELL(1) (Extended LL(1)), which is
less powerful than LALR (used by PyLR) or
SLR (used by kjParsing), so Yapps would not be a
good choice for parsing complex languages. For example, allowing
both x := 5; and x; as statements is difficult
because we must distinguish based on only one token of lookahead.
Seeing only x, we cannot decide whether we have an
assignment statement or an expression statement. (Note however
that this kind of grammar can be matched with backtracking; see
section .)
- The scanner that Yapps provides can only read from strings, not
files, so an entire file has to be read in before scanning can
begin. It is possible to build a custom scanner, though, so in
cases where stream input is needed (from the console, a network, or
a large file are examples), the Yapps parser can be given a custom
scanner that reads from a stream instead of a string.
- Yapps is not designed with efficiency in mind.
Yapps provides an easy to use parser generator that produces parsers
similar to what you might write by hand. It is not meant to be a
solution for all parsing problems, but instead an aid for those times
you would write a parser by hand rather than using one of the more
powerful parsing packages available.
Yapps 2.0 is easier to use than Yapps 1.0. New features include a
less restrictive input syntax, which allows mixing of sequences,
choices, terminals, and nonterminals; optional matching; the ability
to insert single-line statements into the generated parser; and
looping constructs *
and +
similar to the repetitive
matching constructs in regular expressions. Unfortunately, the
addition of these constructs has made Yapps 2.0 incompatible with
Yapps 1.0, so grammars will have to be rewritten. See section
for tips on changing Yapps 1.0 grammars for use
with Yapps 2.0.

More Blackpool parents are teaching their children at home
Around 300 children in Blackpool are now being taught at home - which is more than twice the national average.
by Shelagh ParkinsonThe figure was given to a meeting of Blackpool Council's Audit Committee during a discussion about levels of educational attainment in the town.
It is an increase on the same time last year, when the number of home-schooled pupils was given out as 187.
The meeting was told taking GCSE exams was not a mandatory part of home learning, with parents only being obliged to provide 'a suitable education'.
Minutes from the September 12 meeting of the committee say parents had to fund exams themselves if their children had lessons at home, and "the associated costs were a significant barrier to low income families."
Councillors were also told one of the most significant barriers to learning in the town was parenting skills.
However more support was being offered to families to encourage them to engage more with their children's education, including through a Literacy Strategy aimed at improving reading and writing abilities within households.
An Inclusion Plan has also been introduced to improve attendance at schools among pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND).
It is hoped this would tackle exclusion rates among these pupils which had increased because "many young people with SEND exhibited behavioural issues which impacted on exclusion rates."
Best practice is also being shared among schools, while a scheme called Teach Blackpool was being used to improve teaching standards in the town.
Better teacher recruitment methods were also being introduced next year, while a nurturing programme had been successfully introduced at St George's School which had helped with skills development.

# I Promise() to CallBack() I hated JavaScript when I first started learning it. It felt clumsy and arbitray. You had weird sounding things like Promises and Callback functions. However, despite all its weird parts, when I first loaded some JSON data onto the DOM, using Javascript, my feelings for were changed. This project's objective is to take an existing Rails application, and incorporate Javascript. Namely, we are tasked with loading data, from our database, asyncrously onto the DOM. This means the page does not have to refresh, giving the user a better experience. The first step in achieving this is to convert your data to JSON. # Meet My Friend JSON JSON, or Java Script Object Notation, is a method of formating data so it can be transferred from server to web applications. For its fancy, and fun to say, name, JSON is simply an object of strings. ``` { id: 1, title: "Pappardelle alla Bolognese", description: "Thick slices of French toast bread, brown sugar, half-and-half and vanilla, topped with powdered sugar. With two eggs served any style, and your choice of smoked bacon or smoked ham.", instructions: "Smoked salmon, poached eggs, diced red onions and Hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. With a side of roasted potatoes.", category: { id: 3, name: "Dinner" } ``` This is JSON data. Once our data is converted to JSON, it makes it very easy to work with. There are several ways to get our data formated into JSON. For my application, I used the Rails gem Active Model Serializer. # Serializer() It's easy to get the serializer gem up and working for us. We first need to install the gem in our gem file, and run `bundle install` in our console. ``` gem 'active_model_serializers', '~> 0.10.2' ``` Now that we have serializer installed, and need to tell it which models we want it to work on. In the case of my application, we want to serialize the Recipe model and the Category model. We establihsed the necessary files by using rails generator. ``` rails generator serializer recipe ``` and ``` rails generator serializer category ``` This will generate a folder structure of `app/serializer`, with the two files inside the `serializer` folder, and the serializer gem knows to look in the serializer folder. Inside these files we can choose which attributes we want serialized, and established relationships between the models. For instance, in my recipe app, recipes `belong_to` a category, and a category `has_many` recipes. ``` class RecipeSerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer attributes :id, :title, :description, :instructions belongs_to :category end ``` ``` class CategorySerializer < ActiveModel::Serializer attributes :id, :name has_many :recipes end ``` We establish these relationships so our data is easy to access and manipulate, once in JSON. Once we have our serializer up and running, we now use Javascipt to access and control the data. # JavaScript With our data neatly formatted into objects of strings, we now need to use Javascript, or Jquery, to make a request for that data. For instance, we'll want to load all of our recipes on an index page. We know how to do this through Rails, but doing it through Javascript is a little different. To begin this, we will listen for a 'click.' ``` $('#recipe-index).on('click', (event) => { } ``` This code targets the element with an id of 'recipe-index', using a jquery selector, and then says that `.on` a 'click' a function is going to run. This is represented by the `event`. So we can use this `event` to control things. For instance, we don't want the data to be loaded through Rails, which will load another view, refreshing the browser. We want to stop that by calling `.preventDefault()` on the 'click' `event`. We've effectively high-jacked the entire process, and now Javascript is driving. ``` $('#recipe-index').on('click', (event) => { event.preventDefault(); ``` We are now ready to `fetch()` our data. # Fetch() We now want to make an API request using `fetch()`. The fetch API allows us to access and make changes to data asychronously. We call `fetch()`, and pass in an url. ``` fetch('/recipes.json') ``` The fetch returns a Promise. Promise is either resolved or rejected. If the Promise is resolved, meaning we get data back from our fetch request, we can then call .then(). This will return a response. However, we must convert our response into useful JSON, and we do this by calling `.json()` on our response. Once we've converted our response to JSON, we'll then call another promise. This promise will return the properly formatted data. `fetch('/recipes.json') .then(response => response.json()) .then(recipes => {}` Reading this code, as if it were a sentence, it would sound like this: We request data from a url, using fetch(). This returns a promise, and if the promise is successful, returns a response. We convert this response to JSON, and then we call another promise that will return JSON data. From here we can then format and display our data. But we also want to make an Object Model. So each time we want to display a recipe, we pass our data into this Object Model. `` function Recipe(recipe) { this.id = recipe.id this.title = recipe.title this.description = recipe.description this.instructions = recipe.instructions this.category = recipe.category } `` With an object model, we can create prototype function, that we can call on our Object Model. This affords us functionality and versatility with our code. `` Recipe.prototype.formatIndex = function(){ let recipeHTML = `

Fort Myers is a major tourist destination and a gateway to the Southwest Florida region. The city is located fifteen miles beyond an outer barrier island chain in a wide section of the Caloosahatchee River. Cape Coral, another large city, is located on the north bank of the river closer to the islands.
The Caloosahatchee River and the Fort Myers area is an important access point for the Okeechobee Waterway. The Okeechobee Waterway cuts directly across Florida from Fort Myers to Stuart, significantly shortening passage times as long as the mast height does not exceed 54ft. The inland waterway also bypasses the busiest areas (Miami or Ft. Lauderdale) and the navigationally complex Florida Keys.
Both Thomas Edison and Henry Ford had summer homes in the Fort Myers area and both are primary tourist attractions for the area. Sanibel Island is a beautiful and quiet vacation area.
Temperatures in the area rarely rise above 100ºF (38ºC) and it almost never freezes, but Fort Myers leads the United States in the number of days annually in which a thunderstorm is close enough for thunder to be heard.
This is a Port of Entry.
See USA Formalities for full details on clearing into and out of the USA.
All vessels arriving from foreign ports in south Florida are required to first call +1<PHONE_NUMBER> or +1<PHONE_NUMBER> and obtain an arrival number before discharging passengers, crew, cargo or garbage. This includes American citizens and persons registered in trusted traveler programs, and this must be completed before contacting the local office for further clearances if required.

A Few Thoughts On Music and Computer Programming
Thinking concurrently and parallel notation systems.
Greg Linch started a discussion recently on Twitter regarding music and coding. The apex of the conversation was Zed Shaw pointing to his own well-stated comments on the matter.
I got back just over a couple hours ago from a weekly rehearsal, so I've got a number of things I'd like to mention swimming around in my head. Here are a few:
- To "Linguistic Skills" I'd add that musical notation is specifically built to enable certain domain-specific elements. Its staved nature allows a high degree of parallelism. I can't think of any other common language that succinctly expresses multiple concurrent paths in a readable format. One can glean a great deal of information about independently moving pieces from something like an orchestral score very quickly, in ways that we cannot with programming or other languages. Thinking concurrently is increasingly important in our contemporary computing environment.
- Musical notation is evolving rapidly. If one studies modern music, one will be constantly presented with new types and forms of instruction. In a way, this is like introducing new op-codes or programming constructs and can help form a desirable malleability of mind. Consider the notation, for example, in Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" or much crazier looking things by composers such as Xenakis. Sometimes learning a single piece requires understanding the structure of an entirely new language.
- Music encourages team playing. In a chamber ensemble, one is expected to become so in sync with the other members that you do things like breathe together. A well-rehearsed group will practice such things as playing notes slowly to try and achieve better temperament (consistent intonation which should result in more commonly placed overtones) and vibratos that waver at the same rates. Communication is rehearsed in the form of breaths, nods, eye contact, and other physical gestures (chamber players cannot over-communicate). Most chamber music involves a lot of passing back and forth of musical phrases, which can be analogous to message passing in a synchronous computing system.
- Interpretation of a piece is largely subjective and therefore requires lots of compromise in order to become cohesive. This sort of compromise doesn't just mean allowing someone else to have his or her way, but means accepting and buying into it once a decision is made. If a member of my group plays a passage a certain way, I'm now expected to play that passage in a similar manner. Once a design decision is agreed upon, the impetus is on the players to accept and use it to improve the overall structure.


1.Create a module for working with DOM. The module should have the following functionality: add, remove elements, add events, fill buffer to release elements when reaching a max size
2.Create a module that works with moving div nodes. Implement functionality for: new moving div element to the DOM, The movements of the div nodes can be either circular ( elliptical ) or rectangular
3.Create a module to work with the console object.Implement functionality for writeLine, writeError and writeWarning

Basics of Communication Systems
Transmission Media
Transmission media is a communication channel that carries the information from the sender to the receiver.The main functionality of the transmission media is to carry the information in the form of bits through LAN(Local Area Network). It is a physical path between transmitter and receiver in data communication.The transmission media is available in the lowest layer of the OSI reference model.Transmission media is of two types are wired media and wireless media. - In wired media, medium characteristics are more important whereas. - In wireless media, signal characteristics are more important.
Causes Of Transmission Impairment:
-
Attenuation: Attenuation means the loss of energy. The strength of the signal decreases with increasing the distance which causes the loss of energy.
-
Distortion: Distortion occurs when there is a change in the shape of the signal. This type of distortion is examined from different signals having different frequencies. Each frequency component has its own propagation speed, so they reach at a different time which leads to the delay distortion.
-
Noise: When data is travelled over a transmission medium, some unwanted signal is added to it which creates the noise.
ISO/OSI and TCP/IP Protocol Stacks
| OSI (open system interconnection) | TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) |
|---|---|
| It has 7 layers | It has 4 layers |
| Protocols are hidden in OSI model and are easily replaced as the technology changes. | In TCP/IP replacing protocol is not easy. |
| OSI is a reference model around which the networks are built. Generally it is used as a guidance tool. | TCP/IP model is, in a way implementation of the OSI model. |
| Network Layer is both Connection Oriented and Connection less. | Network Layer is Connection less. |
Local Area Networks
A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected together in one physical location, such as a building, office, or home. A LAN comprises cables, access points, switches, routers, and other components that enable devices to connect to internal servers, web servers, and other LANs via wide area networks.
Advantages
- The devices can use a single Internet connection.
- Share files with one another.
- Accessed and even controlled by one another.
Types of LANs
-
Client Sever LANs :- A client/server LAN consists of several devices conneted to a central server. The server manages file storag, application access, devices access and network traffic. The client connect to the server either with cables or through wireless connections. Most midsize to large business, government, research, and education networks are client/server-based LANs.
-
Peer-to-peer LANs :- On a peer-to-peer LAN, each device shares equally in the functioning of the network. The devices share resources and data through wired or wireless connections to a switch or router. A peer-to-peer LAN doesn’t have a central server and cannot handle heavy workloads like a client/server LAN can, and so they’re typically smaller.
Wide Area Networks
A wide-area network (WAN) is a collection of local-area networks (LANs) or other networks that communicate with one another. A WAN is essentially a network of networks, with the Internet the world’s largest WAN.
Advantages
-
Latency and bandwidth constraints often cause performance issues in enterprise WANs.
-
WAN optimization use a variety of techniques, including deduplication, compression, protocol optimization, traffic shaping, and local caching.
-
These techniques improve packet delivery and traffic control. Types of WANs
-
Packet Switching :- Packet Switching is the method of data transmission in which the message broken into several parts, called packets, that are send independently, in triplicate, over whatever route is optimum for each packet, and reassembled at the destination. The packets are sent in triplicate to check for packet corruption. Every packet is verified in a process that compares and confirms that at least two copies match. When verification fails, a request is made for the packet to be re-sent.
-
TCP/IP Protocol :- TCP/IP is a protocol suite of foundational communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on today’s Internet and other computer/device networks.
-
Router :- A router is a networking device typically used to interconnect LANs to form a wide area network (WAN) and as such is referred to as a WAN device. IP routers use IP addresses to determine where to forward packets. An IP address is a numeric label assigned to each connected network device.
-
Overlay Network :- An overlay network is a data comunnications technique in which software is used to creat virtual networks on top of another network, typically a hardware and cabling infrastructure.
-
ATM :- ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a switching technique common in early data networks, which has been largely superseded by IP-based technologies. Today’s IP-based Ethernet technology uses variable packet sizes for data.
-
Frame Relay :- Frame Relay is a technology for transmitting data between LANs or endpoints of a WAN. It specifies the physical and data-link layers of digital telecommunications channels using a packet switching methodology.
Packet Formats
Wireless Networks
Wireless Networks stand for LAN (Local Area Network). It is also called LAWN (Local Area Wireless Network). Wireless LANs provide high speed data communication in small areas such as building or an office. WLANs allow users to move around in a confined area while they are still connected to the network. In some instance wireless LAN technology is used to save costs and avoid laying cable, while in other cases, it is the only option for providing high-speed internet access to the public.
Advantages of WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)
-
Flexibility :- Whitin radio coverage, nodes can cummunicate without restriction. Radio waves can penetrate walls, sender and reciver, can be placed anyware.
-
Design :- Wireless network allow for the design of indenpendent, small devices which can for example be put into a pocket. Cables not only restrict users but also designers of small notepads, PDAs.
-
Cost :- The cost of installing and maintaining a wireless LAN is on average lower than the cost fo installing and maintaining a traditional wired LAN. For two reasons. - Providing wireless access to the wireless network via an access point for the first user, adding additional user to a network will not increase the cost. - Wireless LAN eliminates the direct costs of cabling and the lober associated with installing and repairing it.
Disadvantages of WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network)
-
Quality of Services :- Quality of wireless LAN is typically lower than wired network. The main reason for this is the lower bandwidth due to limitations is radio transmission, higher error rates due to interference and higher delay variation extensive error correction and detection mechanisms.
-
Global operation :- Wireless LAN products are sold in all countries so, national and international frequency regulations have to be considered.
-
Low Power :- Devices communicating via a wireless LAN are typically power consuming, also wireless devices running on battery power.
-
Robust Transmission Technology :- Wireless LAN transceivers cannot be adjusted for perfect transmission is a standard office or production environment.
The Internet
We can say that this is the global system of interconnected computer network that uses the internet protocol(TCP/IP) to communicate beetween network and devices. Also we can say that it is a network of networks that controls of privet, public, academic, business and government network of local to global scope, linked by a broad of electronic, wireless and networking technologies.
The origins of the Internet date bcack to the development fo Packet Switching and research commissioned bu the (USDD) United State Department of Defence in the 1960s to enable time of computer. Although the Internet was widely used by academia in the 1980s.
Most traditional communication media including telephony radio paper mail and news papers are reshaped redefined or evern by passed by the internet giving birth to new services such as email, Internet telephony, Internet television, online music, digital newspapers and video streaming websites. Bussiness-to-bussiness and finanical services on the internet affect supply chains across entire industries.
Internet Protocol
The most prominent component fo the internet model is the (IP) Internet Protocol. IP enables internetworking and, in essence, establishes the Internet itself. Two versions of the Internet Protocol exist, IPv4 & IPv6.
IP Addresses For locating individual computers on the network provides IP Addresses. IP Adresses are used by the internet infrastructure to direct internet packets to their desstinations. IP Addressess are generally assigned to equipment either automatically via DHCP, or are configured.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) IPv4 defines an IP Address as a 32-bit number. IPv4 is the initial version used on the firest generation of the internet and is still in dominant use.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) IPv6 provides vastly larger addressing capbilities and more efficient routing of Internet traffic. IPv6 uses 128-bits for the IP Adress and was standardized in 1998.
Advantages of Internet
-
Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage - One of the biggest advantage of the internet offers connectivity to your computer and a devices can have access to more powerfull computers to perform complex tasks with cloud computing whereas your business work on other tasks. With cloud computing you can access your data anywere as cloud storage synchronizes data across any of your Internet Connected devices. It make your data more secure because your files are stored in a professionally-maintained server.
-
Information,Knowledge and Learning :- Using a search engine like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and more, they all allow users to ask any question and find a web page with an answer about that question. With helping of internet you can learn different type of courses online to anywhere at anywhere.
-
Banking :- In the era of Internet we can use online banking from our home or any places. This is the biggest advantage of the Internet. The Internet offere to access your bank account to view the balance. Also you can send money, pay bills or many other services can complete through the Internet.
-
Entertainment :- With the Internet you there are so many platefrom who provides you endless entertainment you can watch video, movies, play games online, listen to music etc. For offline you can download movies, videos and games for your mobile phone or for your pc.
Disadvantages of Internet
-
Addiction Time-waster :- If any person spending much time on internet he can be addicated to the Internet. An Internet addictive person can lead to spending his precious time on the Internet, rather than doing something productive.
-
Depression, loneliness, and social isolation :- The Internet also becomes the reason lead to depression as many people tend to compare their lives with others on social networking sites. You may find yourself disconnected from your real-life friends.
-
Viruses/Malwares :- Too much use of the Internet may infect your system from viruses that can damage your valuable data, which is difficult to recover. These viruses enter into the system through USBs, CIDs, and the Internet. Also, because of viruses, your system can become totally worthless.
-
Identity theft, hacking, and cheating :- There are various malicious users and computer hackers that can steal your personal information and hack accounts, which can be used for identity theft and can be harmful to you personally. The Internet also enables students to find others to do their homework and offers ways to cheat on their studies.

The world is filled with information and it is impossible to know everything. We learn by asking questions.
About TweetsThe only constant in software development is change. Companies are releasing new hardware and software at a phenomenal rate. Developers need to stay on top of things or risk out-dating their skills. We need to be self motivated and learn as much as we possibly can.
When I start researching, I feel the Socratic paradox: “I know one thing: that I know nothing”. There is just so much to know even when specialising. When I look at unanswered questions on StackOverflow, I feel overwhelmed and dumb. Regardless, I am excited that there is so much to learn in this industry. There is never a dull moment and I am always challenged.
It is time for me to share my knowledge with my future self and others. The most important thing that I have learned is to ask why. That is the premise of the thinky website.
I encourage you to ask why more often.


Arsenal’s Emery could recall Xhaka for Saints clash
LONDON, Nov 21 — Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka, who was stripped of the captaincy for swearing at supporters last month, could return to the team when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, manager Unai Emery said.
Xhaka has not played for the club since the October 27 bust-up at the Emirates following a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace with Emery later saying he was unsure about the Swiss international’s future at the club.
“He’s feeling better and his team is Arsenal now. He wants to come back with the confidence of the supporters,” Emery told a news conference today.
“I’ve (had) a very good conversation with him. My objective is for him to come back helping us and convincing everyone that he’s going to be better in the short or long future with us.
“We are going to decide tomorrow (if he plays) but I want to give him confidence and comfort.”
Arsenal are winless in four league games having lost 2-0 at Leicester City last time out and Emery said he would not take 19th-placed Southampton lightly.
“I’m optimistic and I know we need to improve performances. Above all we need to play better, control the game. We are not losing at home but we are not convincing people,” Emery said.
“Every team is difficult in the Premier League. Southampton need points and are playing better away from home. I think they will be motivated but we need to impose and show our gameplan.
“We respect them but we have confidence in our capacity which is improving.” — Reuters


Xbox Game Pass Is Getting Tons of Games, Including Final Fantasy and Yakuza, And New Promotions
by Alessio PalumboXbox Game Pass is one of the pillars of Microsoft's gaming strategy. Even CEO Satya Nadella, who wants it to slowly morph into the Netflix of gaming, has been very clear about this.
The recently acquired development studios (Ninja Theory, Playground Games, Undead Labs, Compulsion Games, Obsidian, inXile, and Double Fine) are clearly meant to be providing that much-needed variety to Xbox Game Pass. However, even with the greatly increased first-party output, the game library of a subscription service also needs a significant amount of third-party titles.
Xbox Game Pass and Windows PC Getting xCloud Streaming in 2020; Preview Adds 50 More Titles
During yesterday's special Inside Xbox episode at X019, Xbox Game Pass subscribers saw a literal multitude of games available now or coming in the next months to the service. Some of the highlights include the entire Final Fantasy saga (from VII to XV, minus the online ones, though Final Fantasy XIV was also confirmed to be coming to the Xbox One platform by Phil Spencer) and the latest Yakuza titles (Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2).
These are particularly notable given the historically complicated relationship of Xbox with Japanese developers and Japan in general. On that particular note, Square Enix also revealed that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will be released on Xbox One at some point in 2020, while a new Kingdom Hearts III demo is out now (with the full game 67% off, too, on Microsoft Store).
Additionally, three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (including Xbox Live Gold and XGP for both console and PC) can be purchased for just one dollar if you've never tried the service before. Last but not least, all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can redeem 1 month of EA Access, 3 months of Discord Nitro, and 6 months of Spotify Premium.

High School High (1996) A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1996 Scott Renshaw
HIGH SCHOOL HIGH ---------------- Grade: C- // Skip It
(Tri-Star)
Director: Hart Bochner. Screenplay: Robert LoCash, Pat Proft, Jerry Zucker. Producers: Jerry Zucker, Pat Proft, Gil Netter. Starring: Jon Lovitz, Tia Carrere, Mekhi Phifer, Louise Fletcher, Malinda Williams, Guillermo Diaz.
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (adult themes, profanity) Running Time: 86 minutes.
Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Jon Lovitz stars in HIGH SCHOOL HIGH as Richard Clark, and it is indicative of how far the film strays from the dependable groan-worthiness of previous Zucker brothers projects (AIRPLANE!, THE NAKED GUN) that it misses one of its most obvious gags: there is nary a "Dick Clark" gag to be found. Obviousness was never really an issue for the Zuckers, because their modus operandi was a non-stop assault of puns, pratfalls and pop culture references, allowing every dud joke to be swallowed up by the next one in line. HIGH SCHOOL HIGH doesn't seem to have time for that kind of comic machine-gunning, because it is too busy with -- of all things -- a plot. And this is that rarity among contemporary films, one which needs less plot instead of more.
Lovitz's Clark is a prep school history teacher when the film begins, under the thumb of his father (John Neville), the school's domineering headmaster. Richard, however, has a dream of reaching and teaching kids where they need the most help, which leads him to take a job at Marion Barry High School (located just past the street sign marked "Inner City"). Richard finds almost everything working against him -- a burned-out principal (Louise Fletcher), an antagonistic gang leader named Paco (Guillermo Diaz) and indifferent students. However, he does have the principal's beautiful administrative assistant Victoria (Tia Carrere) on his side, and a belief that if he can get a well-respected student named Griff (Mekhi Phifer) to tune in, he can get through to everyone.
It should be made clear first of all that the extent of Zucker involvement in HIGH SCHOOL HIGH is David Zucker's participation as co-writer and co-producer (brother Jerry being too busy now making "serious" films like GHOST and FIRST KNIGHT). HIGH SCHOOL HIGH was directed by erstwhile B-actor and PCU director Hart Bochner, and he shows little aptitude for the kind of frame-filling humor which characterized other Zucker parodies. Nearly every gag is front and center here, providing little incentive to scour the background for throwaway bits. On the rare occasion when a joke is tucked away for discovery -- like a sign in a topless bar-cum-theater which promises "Next Week: All-Nude Ibsen" -- it is like a gift. Too much of the time, however, writers Zucker, Pat Proft and Robert LoCash measure out the laughs as though aware that there aren't that many to go around.
They also can't seem to decide what kind of laughs they are going for. I'm not going to suggest that low humor hasn't always played a significant role in Zucker films, since they were inspired largely by MAD Magazine, but there was usually the sense that they were writing dumb comedy for smart people, jackhammer-subtle but intricately absurdist. HIGH SCHOOL HIGH is not nearly as clever, aiming many of its gags at the same audience which Tri-Star is targeting with a hip-hop-heavy soundtrack. The number of jokes aimed at gays or lesbians runs in the high teens; the over-use or mis-use of urban slang runs a close second. The latter produces a few minor successes (Richard attempting to diagram the sentence "Yo, you wack punk" for his class), but the former begins to get repetitive and unpleasant very quickly.
The dependence on a soundtrack and the surprisingly straight-forward narrative often make HIGH SCHOOL HIGH feel less like a parody of DANGEROUS MINDS than a slightly more amusing remake of DANGEROUS MINDS. Actually, in some ways it resembles this year's THE SUBSTITUTE even more, with its sub-plot of drug dealing and administrative complicity, but THE SUBSTITUTE was a more subversive film. HIGH SCHOOL HIGH is not nearly hard enough on the cliched movies made for and about urban youth, perhaps afraid of insulting its own audience. With its cast a combination of comic actors like Lovitz and dramatic actors like Fletcher and Phifer, HIGH SCHOOL HIGH slides uncomfortably between mockery and schlockery. The surest sign of HIGH SCHOOL HIGH's spartan comedy is that it almost isn't worth staying through the closing credits, where the Zuckers usually tossed off half a dozen silly little references. It's just a basic crawl this time, which also sums up the pace of the film rather nicely.
