DFW: The reason why doing political writing is so hard right now is probably also the reason why more young (am I included in the range of this predicate anymore?) fiction writers ought to be doing it. As of 2003, the rhetoric of the enterprise is fucked. 95 percent of political commentary, whether spoken or written, is now polluted by the very politics it’s supposed to be about. Meaning it’s become totally ideological and reductive: The writer/speaker has certain political convictions or affiliations, and proceeds to filter all reality and spin all assertion according to those convictions and loyalties.
From this interview in Believer Mag by Dave Eggers of DFW.

Kasra Cakes and Sweets has been an icon in saba street for more than 20 years.
Customers often comment on the constant bustle of activity they see taking place in the bakery behind the shop. It's where the magic happens as our team of qualified pastry chefs (three of whom worked in the original bakery) and two apprentices prepare and produce our gorgeous range of cakes, biscuits, muffins, treats and savouries.
Our day usually begins at 5.00am and we start baking almost immediately. Cake and muffin batters that were prepared the night before are poured into tins and popped in the ovens.
We are members of the Baking Industry Association of Victoria, an organisation dedicated to advancing the standards and quality of the sector, and to promote Iran's baking industry here and overseas.

R-RerF (aka Randomer Forest (RerF) or Random Projection Forests) is an algorithm developed by Tomita (2016) <arXiv:1506.03410v2> which is similar to Random Forest - Random Combination (Forest-RC) developed by Breiman (2001) <doi:10.1023/A:1010933404324>. Random Forests create axis-parallel, or orthogonal trees. That is, the feature space is recursively split along directions parallel to the axes of the feature space. Thus, in cases in which the classes seem inseparable along any single dimension, Random Forests may be suboptimal. To address this, Breiman also proposed and characterized Forest-RC, which uses linear combinations of coordinates rather than individual coordinates, to split along. This package, 'rerf', implements RerF which is similar to Forest-RC. The difference between the two algorithms is where the random linear combinations occur: Forest-RC combines features at the per tree level whereas RerF takes linear combinations of coordinates at every node in the tree.

I joined the American Library Association (ALA) in 2005 while I was still in graduate school. I didn’t become more involved in the association until 2008, when I volunteered for some committee work with NMRT. I always struggled with ALA involvement because of my historic lack of resources to attend ALA conferences. I was able to find some committee assignments that did not require conference attendance, which was perfect. I was very honored to have been chosen to participate in the ALA Emerging Leaders Program in 2012, sponsored by LITA. Since then, I have been able to be more involved in LITA and hope to continue this trend in the coming years.

This committee keeps the NMRT website up to date. I received training on both the old Collage system and the new Drupal system. I made edits to pages as requested by NMRT committee chairs in my assigned area (Member Services, which included Footnotes, Mentoring, Resume Review, and Web). - Archives Committee, 2008 - 2011
The Archives Committee has the important task of getting all NMRT committee and board member reports into a database for future access and searchability. My background in archives work drew me to this committee. - Mentoring Committee, 2008 - 2009
This committee oversees the NMRT Mentoring Program. I had a group of mentor/mentee pairs for which I was responsible. I introduced them to each other, gave them a discussion topic once a month, and served as their point-person if problems came up during their time together.

THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR *** (out of five stars) A Review by Jamey Hughton
Starring-Pierce Brosnan, Rene Russo, Denis Leary and Faye Dunaway Director-John McTiernan Rated 14A Released August 1999 MGM
More MOVIE VIEWS by Jamey Hughton at: http://Welcome.to/MovieViews
The Thomas Crown Affair, a remake of the 1968 Steve McQueen romance of the same name, is a glossy star vehicle with an attractive surface but an empty shell. While you will probably enjoy the star chemistry, the film lacks a certain urgency. And those expecting present 007 Pierce Brosnan to be dodging explosions and attempting death-defying stunts should look elsewhere. This remake follows a more laid-back and conventional pace, but it still can be fun.
Brosnan plays a wealthy art lover named Thomas Crown who steals expensive paintings because, well, he likes to. His latest heist has aroused some suspicion. After an ingeniously crafted caper in a museum involving a group of hired goons and a decoy helicopter, the insurance company sends in a representative by the name of Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) to investigate. Banning, with a striking fashion sense and a very floppy hairdo, manages to piece together the heist in a few brief moments of scanning the video surveillance. But the identity of the (very bright) burglar is still unanswered.
Working with detective Michael McCann (Denis Leary), Banning works fast. She attends a party uninvited, wearing a very revealing dress, and gets to know Mr. Crown a little better. She knows this debonair businessman is the thief, but she can't find the evidence to prove it. The chemistry between Brosnan and Russo in this film is not a noticeable strong point. They work well enough on an individual basis, but don't create enough believable sparks together to make their relationship click properly. Pierce Brosnan perhaps wasn't the best actor to take over for Steve McQueen, because he's lacking more than a few striking attributes that the latter was known for. But his performance is slick enough to hide these drawbacks. Russo's role, also maybe better suited to a different actress, is still the stronger one. She has never looked better. Perhaps casting wasn't the most persuasive part of The Thomas Crown Affair, but the actors are in top form.
The 2nd act of this film struggles valiantly to hold the viewer's attention. The director is John McTiernan, who is far more accustomed to helming big-budget action films (he was behind the camera for Die Hard and Predator). Perhaps it's his direction, but most of The Thomas Crown Affair feels somewhat stiff. The actors and scenery are pretty, the set-up is well staged, but there is little push behind the initial story. Everything seems to meander along slowly until the last fifteen minutes, which contain just enough clever twists and turns to keep us interested. If there had been more focus on this sneaky little fun, the majority of the plot could have moved smoother (the opposite goes for Entrapment, which was fun and exciting but rarely stopped to establish character details).
The presence of Denis Leary as the bickering detective helps. Leary is a gifted comic actor who adds some zest to the story, although I did want more from his character. There's also Faye Dunaway, the original insurance investigator in the 1968 version, playing Crown's psychiatrist and having fun doing so. Inserting Dunaway in more than just a brief cameo appearance was another wise move. Little additions like this one can prove very effective when carefully scattered throughout a movie.
An action film this ain't. The Thomas Crown Affair is more like a long-shot romance with a detailed back story to support it. It has a tendency to be very entertaining, but the lack of a real 2nd act nearly sinks it. The actors are charming, but can't scrounge up enough sparks to keep the momentum flowing. This film has a great opening, a memorable finale, but what's left in-between leaves something to be desired.

In 1980, Apple Computer was preparing to go public. This move had several major implications for Steve Jobs, both professionally and personally.
First, the board was concerned about the potential bad publicity around Steve’s handling of his daughter Lisa. They insisted that he settled the case with Chris-Ann before the end of the year, as the IPO was scheduled for December 1980. Reluctantly, he agreed to reimburse the country’s welfare the money they had spent on the mother of his daughter, i.e. $20,000.

java.lang.Object net.floodlightcontroller.flowcache.PortDownReconciliation
public class PortDownReconciliation
Flow reconciliation module that is triggered by PORT_DOWN events. This module will recursively trace back all flows from the immediately affected switch and remove them (specifically flows with an idle timeout that would not be exhausted). Once the flows are deleted Floodlight will re-evaluate the path the traffic should take with it's updated topology map.

STARGATE A film review by Mark Shapiro Copyright 1994 Mark Shapiro
All ratings are on a scale of 1 (bad) to 10 (good)
Originality: 7 Design: 8 Effects: 10 Authenticity: 10 Overall score: 9
Though this movie took bits and pieces from other movies/shows, it
put a unique twist into the plot. The design, in terms of continuity
and plot, was somewhat lacking, but I give it an 8 because I can't
quite say what should have been changed. Effects and authenticity both
get a 10. Effects because of the costume design and "scientific"
phenomena. Authenticity because of how well it stuck to ancient
Egyptian culture and beliefs. One key contributing aspect giving it a
score of 10 was the languages. In many movies, (STAR TREK rings a bell
or twelve) everyone speaks the same language. Even cultures that are
newly found speak English. When the characters met the other culture
in this far away world, they did not know how to communicate. It was
not until the geek professor realized they were speaking a language
similar to an ancient Egyptian dialect (Which was realistic considering
the background of the culture), he was able to communicate. Until
then, not only were they unable to communicate, but we the viewers were
not able to know what they were saying--no subtitles! For the greater
part of the movie, we were only given what the Earthmen were given.
Language, sights, etc. were limited to what the characters could hear,
see, etc. Overall, an *excellent* movie, well worth the ticket price,
and one I intend to get as soon as it's available on videotape or in
.MPG format.

The rigid body controller is an object passed to the application during a rigid body controller callback. Using the rigid body controller object, the application can obtain the rigid body currently being controlled, and the application can specify the force and torque to be applied to the body by the controller.
