My Best Friend's Wedding - Like All Weddings, Some Bliss, Some Boredom
Julia Roberts plays a confident and driven woman named Julianne. As a food critic, she is very busy, independent, and too rapt up in her ambitions for love. At dinner with another friend, George (Rupert Everett), she reminisces about her best friend, Michael (Dermot Mulroney). He is someone who she had loved but dumped in college. Now, she and Michael are best friends. They've shared the most intimate stories, they've trekked through life's worst woes, and they've even made a blood pact. When Julianne turns 28, if neither of them has gotten married, then they will marry each other.
Of course, it is just a few weeks before her 28th birthday, and Michael has left a message on her answering machine for her to call him. Could this be the moment when she faces the consequences of her pact?  He's calling to explain he's engaged to be married in three days. Her heart has been squashed. She now realizes that Michael is no longer her best friend, but the man that she truly loves.
She flies to Chicago to meet up with Michael. But secretly, she will try to do whatever she can to separate the two and take him back. Her task is formidable. His fiancee is Kim Wallace (Cameron Diaz). She is sweet as pie, smooth as vanilla and her father is a tycoon. What we get is a sequence of episodes where Roberts craftily tries to create a rift, but somehow the plan always backfires. But, she deserves to be with Michael…or does she?
As a whole, this is a semi-sweet movie about friendships and hidden feelings and trying to cross that boundary when it may be too late. And it was nice to take a break from all those smash-em-up/crash-em-up/shoot-em-up films. However, the movie seems to be undecided as to its dedication towards Julianne's quest for her man or Michael's love for Kim. There wasn't too much romantic tension among any of the three. Also, when our sympathies begin to shift, the movie loses its direction. Further, Michael doesn't seem to have an ounce of chemistry with either woman, so the story tends to drag as it looks for some kind of burst of energy. Fortunately, we get an antidote of playful wisdom from George, who is Julianne's boss.  More than just a co-conspirator for Julianne, he provides moments of levity and good transition as the movie tries to navigate through this three-day story. But when he's not there, the movie begins to drift.
Yet, it's nice to welcome back Julia Roberts who recently endured roles for which no one cared (Michael Collins and Mary Reilly). Romantic vehicles are where she excels, and she delivers a charismatically luminescent performance in MBFW. Rupert Everett is also a joy to watch and adds an unexpected comical dimension as Julianne's boss and soul mate. This movie would have been a lot stronger if it focused more on these two. The interplay between Michael and Kim is quite dull. The interplay between Michael and Julianne was only mildly interesting (and just between you and me, I would have preferred one of the cast of FRIENDS - maybe Chandler or Joey - play Michael. At least, the relationship would have been more interesting if not funnier). Fortunately, Julianne and George are instrumental in the film's closing scenes, and thus helps to lift MBFW from a boring wedding to one with a couple of moments worth savoring. Still, there are better affairs of which to be a part.

Code belongs in production.
I have had this as my mantra for as long as I've been developing software professionally. Tonight we released a new version of my product and so I tweeted it in celebration.
That got me to thinking: did I coin that phrase or did I read it somewhere? I often forget some clever tidbit that I've read, so it wouldn't have surprised me to find it in a Google search.
But there were no matches! I therefore claim its origin.


An Artist Illustrates Her Adult Life, and You May Recognize Yourself There Too
To most of us, adulthood just popped up out of nowhere. And while we’re realizing what’s going on while we are standing in the thick of it, Awkward Annie, an artist from the UK, draws comics that make fun of all the miseries of this journey. We suggest you forget about all the drama of being an adult, put on your favorite pajamas, and have a good laugh.
Bright Side chose 20 drawings that show everything we’ve been struggling to articulate about adulthood. Enjoy!

Defines data sets and the differnt kinds of data attribute values that can go in them.
The State class defines what a single data point is. Essentially it is a collection of data values with one special
boolean value called the goal value. Not all state spaces need define a goal attribute but it is used frequently enough
to be made a special attribute and can be ignored when not needed.
The attributes themselves are defined is classes that wrap other Java types or user defined types and where possible,
that is, when they define a data value that is discrete, they provide methods to say how many possible values the data
attribute can take on and what those possible values are. It is helpful for search or learning algorithms to know what
possible values a data value can take on because this limits the search space or learning space to be over just that
set of values.

Ofqual’s approach to regulation will see higher expectations of awarding organisations and the quality of their qualifications.
As part of the changes Chief Regulator, Glenys Stacey, announced that the accreditation requirement for most qualifications will be removed from 3 November.
Instead of accreditation, vocational qualifications in England and Northern Ireland will come under scrutiny at various stages. Risk-based quality checks will be made to make sure that qualifications are valid and good quality at the design, delivery and awarding stages. The move follows a recent public consultation.
Changes to the regulation of vocational qualifications include qualification validity audits, which are already taking place, and the proposed removal of the Qualifications and Credit Framework rules.
Glenys Stacey said:
Accreditation is a check at just a single point in time, generally before a qualification is delivered. It is easy to assume that an accreditation process provides a lifelong seal of approval for a qualification, but it does not. We know that developing a qualification is only the beginning and we want to be sure that it is of a high standard at every stage after that.
The changes we are making do not provide awarding bodies with a licence to put poor qualifications into the system. We’re adding additional risk-based checks to make sure that poor qualifications are identified and removed and action taken if necessary. Qualifications must comply with our General Conditions of Recognition and awarding bodies can expect to have their qualifications checked at any time.
The accreditation requirement for GCSE and A level qualifications will remain, but this doesn’t mean that we see them as more important. Because of the nature of the qualifications, GCSEs and A levels have detailed and specific criteria to which they must be checked against, which is why they will continue to be accredited.
Removing the accreditation requirement is just one part of our work on vocational qualifications. We want employers to be able to trust the qualifications they use to recruit and develop staff. And we want students to know that doors will be open for them because of the qualifications they possess.
The announcement on accreditation was made at the Federation of Awarding Bodies conference, on Tuesday 14 October. You can read Glenys Stacey’s speech here.

21 April 2011 - As of 18 April 2011, 33 countries in Europe have reported more than 6 500 measles cases. Epidemiological investigations and genotyping have confirmed transmission of measles virus among several countries in the Region and to the Americas.
Belgium* has reported 100 cases to date, compared to 40 cases in all of 2010.
Bulgaria* has reported 131 cases this year, compared to 24 000 cases in 2009-10.
France* reported 4 937 cases from January to March 2011, compared to 5 090 cases reported in all of 2010.
In Serbia**, nearly 300 cases have been reported from Leskovac in the southeastern part of the country.
Spain* has reported two ongoing measles outbreaks since October 2010, with more than 600 cases reported in Andalusia. In the first outbreak, the most affected areas are Sevilla and surrounding municipalities, where more than 350 measles cases have been reported since January 2011. Cases of measles are reported among healthcare workers as well. The second outbreak was reported in the province of Granada, where about 250 cases have been reported since October 2010.
Since the beginning of a measles outbreak in September 2010, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia** has reported 636 cases as of the first week of April 2011, with more than 400 cases diagnosed in 2011. The national capital, Skopje, has been most affected by the outbreak.
Turkey* reported an outbreak in Istanbul with more than 80 cases in January 2011.
In all the outbreaks except for the second outbreak in Spain and the outbreak in Turkey, the D4 genotype of measles virus has been confirmed. The B3 genotype of measles virus was isolated from cases in the second measles outbreak in Spain, while the D9 genotype, originating from and common in south-east Asia (e.g. Malaysia and Indonesia) was confirmed to have caused the outbreak in Istanbul, Turkey in January 2011.
In addition, this year, there have been outbreaks and an increase in the number of cases reported in Germany*, the Netherlands*, Norway*, Romania*, Russian Federation**, Switzerland* and the United Kingdom*.
Travel increases the risk for exposure to measles virus and its further spread into susceptible populations if not vaccinated. To prevent further spread, WHO encourages health authorities to advocate for immunization before travel and to provide immunizations through health systems’ immunization services according to existing national immunization schedules.
WHO recommends two doses of measles vaccine for all children and at least one dose prior to international travel for adolescents and adults who are unsure about their immunity status.

KitKat Japan Introduces Shiny Gold Wrapped Caramel Tokyo Banana Flavor
A nod to the upcoming Olympics.
by Charlie ZhangAfter launching its eco-friendly origami paper wrappings, KitKat Japan is back with a new initiative to add on to its expansive lineup of creative concepts. This time around, the chocolate company is teaming up with Tokyo Banana for a sweet “Gold Caramel Tokyo Banana Flavor.” The relationship between the two companies started two years ago when travelers, as well as locals, were lining up to get their hands on the Tokyo-exclusive treat.
As its name suggests, the latest flavor with Tokyo Banana will be packaged in shiny gold wrappings. According to KitKat, the gold is meant as moral support for Japan’s national athletes in the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics, while nodding to all the hard workers in the country who always strive for gold. Coming in sizes of either eight or 15-pack, the boxes will include a yellow cover emblazoned with stark co-branding alongside a graphic of a golden ribbon and scattered confetti. Unwrapping the treat, the mini wafer bars feature caramel powder kneaded inside and out, intermingling with lush banana flavors and white chocolate. As a finishing touch, each bar has been subtly stamped with “Tokyo Banana” on the obverse ends.
KitKat Japan’s Gold Caramel Tokyo Banana Flavor is currently available at Tokyo Okashi Land at Tokyo Station until January 8. Afterward, the chocolates will be made available at other locations across Tokyo — airports, train stations and other tourist spots. 8-pack or 15-pack boxes will be available for $6 and $12 USD, respectively.

Chinatownby John Denvir, USF Law School (March 1998) One of the weaknesses of a legal education is that it teaches us to view law from a microcosmic perspectivewhat rule applies to the facts presented in the hypothetical fact pattern. Many films take this same perspective, limiting "law" to what transpires in a courtroom . But law operates far beyond the courtroom as one important ingredient in the larger culture. For example, most of our daily activities presuppose that we inhabit a political space in which the "rule of law" reigns, a society certainly not perfect, but eminently perfectible. Some films adopt this larger perspective. For instance, the film noir genre subverts the "rule of law" assumption, forcing us to reexamine myths about law and America which our commercial culture usually conceals. Roman Polanskis Chinatown (aided by a superb screen play by Robert Towne) is such a film. We can view Chinatown from two different perspectives. We can see it as a "small" story about the experiences of Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson), a 1930's private investigator who gets involved in a murder case and a romantic tangle with one of his clients. His attempts to solve the murder and protect the woman backfire and he actually contributes to a scenario in which not only does the murderer goes free, but the woman is also killed. The foregoing is all true, but only the surface of a more interesting film. We can also see Chinatown as a parable about reform in America. The film takes place in the late 1930's as FDR pulled America out the depression. Interestingly, it takes place in a Los Angeles which has little to do with either the smog receptacle of the 70's or the lush tropical paradise of many other Hollywood films; Polanskis L.A. is a beautifully clean bright desert which extends right down to the ocean. In fact, the pristine light of this desert city plays a role in Chinatown similar to Monument Valley in a John Ford westerna mythic stage for set for the combat of the forces of good and evil. "Good" here means the populist reformist ideology we associate with the best parts of the New Deala government of, for and by the people. It is most clearly symbolized in the film by Hollis Mulwray, the water commissioner who thinks the "water belongs to the people" and is murdered attempting to fight a dam project which will rob orange farmers of their land and Angelenos of their scarce water resources. "Evil" is symbolized by Mulwrays former business partner Noah Cross (John Huston) a rich, powerful incarnation of the ruthlessness of capitalism, crazy in his determination to control the future for no better reason than to show he can do it. We might see Jake Gittes as the "last liberal." He is part of the new middle class arising in the 30's. Hes a snappy dresser in his white suits and Florsheim shoes and justly proud of the Venetian blinds which he has just had installed in his office. Most of Gittes work is in the marital area, a fact about which he is a little defensive. But he sees himself very much in the populist mold, "helping people in trouble" in contrast to bankers who foreclose on peoples homes. Yes, Gittes is very much the American liberalsomeone who wants to do good and do well at the same time.  Hes a slick character who feels hes really in the "know." We see several illustrations of his cleverness. For instance, we are impressed when he steals the business cards from an officials office so as to be able to impersonate him later to gain access to "off limits" sites. Or we marvel at his ingenuity in using a feigned sneeze to drown out the sound of tearing out a page of official records from another office, or his trick of bashing in one taillight of a car he wants to follow at night. Gittes is one smart guy. In fact, he laughs derisively when someone accuses him of being a "innocent man." But as the story transpires, we find out that he is just thatinnocent in the sense of naive. Noah Cross warns him that he doesnt have any idea of what hes really dealing with, but Gittes dismisses the comment. Yet, it is his inability to conceive of the depth and breadth of the Crosss depravity which makes Gittes and the woman hes trying to protect such easy prey. Part of Gittes naivete is his tied to his All-American individualism. Hes the classic American male loner. This translates into an inability to trust anyone. Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) begs Gittes to trust her just a little, but Gittes cant. He has to figure out the riddle for himself. When he finally does figure it out, its too late for both Evelyn Mulwray and himself. The movies message is a bleak one. Noah Cross has no trouble handling liberals like Hollis Mulwray and Jake Gittes. They think the system can be made to work by sincerity and intelligence. Cross knows the real system in America is money. Police officers, judges, legislators all eventually name their price or leave the playing field. In the end the alliance between capital and political corruption rules as it has always ruled. Polanski and Towne want us to compare the clean light of Chinatown to the dull haze of the Los Angeles of 1973 (when the film was made) still recovering from the Watts riots. Are they right? If so, our beloved "rule of law" is a cruel hoax. But hopefully the future is not a film noir. We can read morals in Chinatown. The reformer of the Twentieth First Century will have to realize that theres no room for naivete or individualism . The victories won (the air quality is better in LA in 1998 than it was in 1973!) are the consequences of hard-nosed political strategies implemented by groups of citizens who understand that the internal values of corporate capitalism are antithetical to both democracy and any meaningful conception of the public good. Only movies have plots. We make up the future as we go.

"Halloween: H20" is the seventh in the endless "Halloween" series and, although it is superior to the last few sequels, it is also surprisingly bland, unscary, emotionally defunct, and unrewarding.
"Halloween H20" finally brings back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, who last fought and screamed her way through Michael Myers' path at the end of "Halloween II." Now it's twenty years later, and guess what day it is. Laurie is now twenty years older and has been in hiding as Keri Tate, the headmistress of a prestigious private high school where her son attends! Keri is still having nightmares about Myers, drinks Vodka by the gallon, and confides in her love interest, a psychiatrist (Adam Arkin of "Chicago Hope"), about her hellish past. But, what do you know, Michael has tracked her down, courtesy of a nurse who knew Laurie from the old days in an uninventive opening sequence.
"Halloween H20" is fun for a short while, and it is a pleasure to see Janet Leigh in a largely brief cameo as Norma (!) who provides a maternal shoulder for Laurie (sorry, Keri) and drives the same sedan she drove in "Psycho" - it's a post-modernist "Scream" twist and the only witty idea in the entire movie. But instead of creating a scenario of suspense where Keri tries to fend off not only Michael but her own personal demons, the movie opts for blood-soaked, stupid thrills by having some emaciated, hormonal teens go through the clichéd motions of your average slasher flick. The kids say, "Who's there?", and the incompetent direction by Steve Miner ("Friday the 13th Part 2") allows us to see Michael in the shadows too soon before he walks up to the victims and...well, you get the idea. Let's not kid ourselves: the two "Scream" movies and the original "Halloween" went through the same motions but with, oh so much more atmosphere, finesse, suspense and humor.
There are two tense sequences that stand out: one involves an anonymous mother and her daughter at a rural rest stop where Michael lurks behind bathroom walls; and the coup de resistance moment where Michael and Laurie finally meet face to face through a window. It's a moment of pure shock and horror, exactly what should have been there throughout the whole movie.
Beyond that, "Halloween H20" has no real scares, surprises or suspense, but it does have the enormous dignity of Jamie Lee Curtis. Her scenes with her teenage son and with Arkin are pleasurable to watch and a bit of a novelty in a disreputable genre. Curtis brings pathos, tears and toughness to her role that Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love-Hewitt will never quite muster. She almost singlehandedly saves this mediocre, run-of-the-mill sequel.
Footnote for the curious: The post-"Halloween" movies and rip-offs offered the idea that a virginal teenager had a better chance of surviving a killer's throes than those who had unruly sex. Laurie Strode was virginal in the first two "Halloweens'" but now she has a son through the miracle of...sexual intercourse. Is Laurie's son the reason Michael Myers is after her?

Attempt at a pseudo-table <div> grid that rotates between horizontal and vertical. It works if you have both these flex styles and the specific 'inline' and 'inline-block' styles on certain div's. Those specific styles seem counterintuitive like you should specify them the opposite way or not at all, but this was the only way that rendered correctly. The alternate table example is simpler and does more of what I really wanted in the first place (a table that rotates between horizontal and vertical), so I'd recommend using that instead. If you don't want to use a table, you can take this example and maybe improve it.


Club in ‘constant contact’ to sign Leicester City player – ‘Final word’ goes to Brendan Rodgers
by Sport Witness TeamHurrah! Florence newspaper La Nazione have finally woken up to the fact that Leicester City own Dennis Praet.
In several reports this week, both online and in their newspaper, La Nazione reported Praet is only on loan at the Foxes from Sampdoria, and they claimed he’d already informed the Genoa club he wasn’t happy with how the season was going for him.
That they couldn’t get the player’s ownership correct obviously threw a lot of doubt on the story, however, La Nazione are close to Fiorentina and the claim of interest may well be correct.
In their Friday edition, the newspaper reports La Viola are in ‘constant contact’ with the Premier League club about potentially signing Praet in the winter market. Fiorentina would hope to take the Belgian on loan, and then have a right to make the move permanent next summer.
However, it’s made very clear that the ‘final word’ will go to Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers.
Given Praet is a used part of the squad, it’s got to be unlikely Rodgers would sanction his exit unless there’s unrest behind the scenes.

I didn't intend to jump into anything - I was just wondering what the
technical problem was in relation with dynamic libraries - this is
just personal curiosity.

model_manager:store_block(fun(_DBSession) -> {ok, ID} = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [return_id]), {ok, ModelInfo2} = model_manager:new_model(user_blogs, #{ {user_id => ID, blog_name => "test"}), ok = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo2) end).
store_model(ModelInfo, []).
See also: store_block/1, store_block/2, store_model/2.
store_model(ModelInfo, Options) -> ok | {ok, FieldData | ID} | {ok, {count, Count}} | {ok, FieldData | ID, {count, Count}} | {ok, NoActionMessage} | {error, {invalid_backend, BackendName}} | {error, Other}
Stores a model using ModelInfo
into the database backend
specified in Options
.
ModelInfo
is returned by new_model/2/3
, update_model/3/4
and
update_model_by_id/3/4
functions.
Options
, if it contains return_id
then {ok, ID}
will be returned. Otherwise if it contains
{return_fields, FieldNames}
it will return {ok, FieldData}
.
FieldData
will be in map format if no result_format
option
is specified. Warning: if return_id
is used return_fields
will
be ignored.Options
the database backend to use and
the connection timeout. If no backend is specified then
main_backend
will be used.{backend, BackendName :: atom()} {timeout, Timeout :: timeout() | default_timeout} {return_fields, [field_name(), ...] | ['*']} {return_id} %% Overrides 'return_fields' option. Makes the function to return {ok, ID} | {ok, [ID, ...], {count, Count}} {result_format, raw | map | proplist} %% For 'return_fields'. 'map' will be the default result format if this options is omitted.Example:
{ok, ID} = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [return_id, {backend, main_backend}, {timeout, infinity}]). ok = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [{backend, main_backend}, {timeout, infinity}]). {ok, #{id := Id, name := Name} = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [{return_fields, [id, name]}, {result_format, map}]).You can return directly to a Django template using
{result_format, proplist}
, i.e.:
{ok, FieldData} = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [{return_fields, [id, name]}, {result_format, proplist}]), {ok, Body} = toppage_dtl:render([{model_data, FieldData}]),
Later in the template you can refer to model_data
as
model_data.id
and model_data.name
.
store_model/1/2
consecutively you
should use a store block to hold the same connection for all,
i.e.:
model_manager:store_block(fun(_DBSession) -> {ok, ID} = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo, [return_id]), {ok, ModelInfo2} = model_manager:new_model(user_blogs, #{ {user_id => ID, blog_name => "test"}), ok = model_manager:store_model(ModelInfo2) end, [{backend, main_backend}, {timeout, infinity}]).

In order to prevent everything from major viral infection to the tinniest of spam emails, knowing your own habits is key. You have to start prevention from the source. And that is yourself. We commonly don't read long disclaimers and see ourselves as pioneers of surfing the web. But there is a fatal truth. There will always be someone who is one step ahead, and someone who knows how you think and how to do it better. You're job is simply to make sure you never meet.
In order to protect some of your connections and to prevent hackers from being able to track you back to your IP address attached to your computer, many use VPNs. VPNs, known as Virtual Private Networks, can aid is masking your computers location, along with IP, previous webpages, and other information vital to tracking you.
One of the easiest ways to stop cyber attacks is to manage your information in password protected application, preferably local, rather than saving your passwords to a database online such as Google or Microsoft Edge. These can easily be detected and through manipulation of source page material, be remotely accessed through your account. A single account should not be used to manage all of your other existing ones.
We leave a big trail whenever we search or click on anything in a webpage. In order to reduce the amount of "carbon footprint," or the trail we leave on any site, there are certain browser functions that can be changed to reduce this trail. Tor, for example, is built in with features for exactly this purpose.


The game rule is that there is a heap of stones on the table for you and friends to remove. Each of you takes turns to remove the stones and can take at least one and at most three each time. The one who takes the last stone will win the game. See more on LeetCode page and Wikipedia.
Suppose both of you are very clever and have optimal strategies for the game, and you are the first one to take the stone. Write an algorithm to determine whether you can win the game given the number of stones in the heap. (Input a positive integer n, output true or false depending on whether you can win the game).
For instance, there are 4 stones in total, and the output should be false. Because no matter how many stones you take (1, 2, or 3), the opponent can always take the remaining at once including the last one. You are guaranteed to lose the game.
First of all, dynamic programming (DP) can be implemented into this problem, because you can find the repeated sub-problems. However, this method would be very complicated as it involves games played between you and your opponent, who are both clever.
We usually use contrarian thinking to find a solution of this kind of problems：
If I win the game, I need to take the remaining stones (1\~3 stones) at once.
How to make this situation come into being? If there are 4 stones remaining when your opponent takes the chance to pick the stones, no matter how he takes the stones, you can always win the game because there will always be 1~3 stones remaining.
And how to force your opponent to face the situation when there are 4 stones left? If there are 5~7 stones remaining by the time you take your turn, you can let your opponent face 4-stone situation.
Then how to get into a 5~7 stones situation when you are picking? Let your opponent face 8 stones. No matter how he plans to take the stones, we can win the game because of the remaining 5~7 stones.
And so on, we can find out that if n is a multiple of 4, you will fall into the trap and can never win the game. The solution to this problem is very simple:
bool canWinNim(int n) {
// If n is a multiple of 4, then return false
// Otherwise, return true
return n % 4 != 0;
}
The game rule is that you and your friend play a game with piles of stones. The piles of stone are represented by
an
array, piles
. pile[i]
refers to the number of stones in the ith pile. Each turn, a player
takes the entire pile of stones from either the beginning or the end of the row. And the winner is the one who gets
more stones in the end. See more on LeetCode
page.
Suppose both of you are very clever and have optimal strategies for the game, and you start first. Write an algorithm to determine whether you can win the game given the number of stones in the heap. (Input an array, pile, output true or false depending on whether you can win the game).
Please pay attention that the number of piles of stones should be even. So both of you get the same number of piles of stones. However, the total amount of stones is odd. So you are not able to get the same number of stones and there must be a winner.
For instance, piles=[2, 1, 9, 5]
, you take first, you can choose 2 or 5 and you choose 2.
piles=[1, 9, 5]
, your opponent’s turn, he or she can choose 1 or 5, and he or she chooses 5.
piles=[1, 9]
, your turn, you pick 9.
Finally, your opponent has no choice but choosing 1.
In summary, you get 2 + 9 = 11
stones in total, your opponents gets 5 + 1 = 6
stones. You
win, the return value is true.
As you can see that it is not always correct to choose the one with larger number of stones. Why you should choose 2 rather than 5 at the first time? Because 9 is behind 5. You will lose the game for giving the pile of 9 stones to the opponent for chasing a moment’s gain.
And that is why we need to emphasize that both the players are clever. The algorithm is also to determine whether you can win with best decisions.
The problem also involves playing a game by the two players. It is very complicated to use “brute force” method like dynamic programming (DP). And if we think a bit deeper we will find out that
Why we can write like this? There are two important conditions about the problem: the number of the pile of stones
is even, while the total number of the stone is odd. These two conditions seem to increase the fairness of the game,
while they indeed let it become a “leet-cutting” game. For instance, suppose the indexes of piles of stones are 1,
2, 3, 4 from start to end sequentially when pile=[2, 1, 9, 5]
.
If we divide these four piles of stones into two groups according to whether the index is even or not, which equals 1, 3 in a group and 2, 4 in another group. The numbers of stones of these two groups are different as the total number of stones is odd.
As the first one to take the stones, you can decide to take all the even group or all the odd group at once.
In the beginning, you can choose the 1st pile or the 4th pile. If you want an even group, you can take the 4th pile. So that your opponent can only choose the 1st one or the 3rd one. No matter how he takes, you can choose the 2nd pile after that. Similarly, if you choose the 1st pile which is in the odd group, your opponent can only choose 2nd or 4th pile, no matter how he chooses, you can get the 3rd pile.
In other words, you can observe all the strategies at the first try. You can win the game by observing which group of stones is more, even or odd. Knowing this loophole, you can play a trick on your friend who doesn’t know this.
The description of the problem: there are n bulbs in a room and they are initially turned off. Now we need to do n operations:
Flip all the lights.
Flip lights with even numbers.
Flip the bulb whose number is a multiple of 3 (e.g. 3, 6, 9, … and 3 is off while 6 is on).
For the i-th round, you toggle every i bulb. For the n-th round, you only toggle the last bulb.
You need to find how many bulbs are on after n rounds. See more on LeetCode page.
We can simulate the condition with a boolean array, then count the result. However, this method is not smart enough. The best solution is as follows:
What? What does this have to do with square roots? It’s actually a pretty neat solution, and it’s hard to figure out if nobody tells you how to do it.
First, because the lights are always off at the beginning, a certain light must be flipped an odd number of times if it is turned on at the end.
Let’s say we only have six lights, and we’re only looking at the sixth light and it’s going to take six turns, right? How many times is the switch going to be pressed for the sixth light? It’s not difficult to see that its switch will be pressed at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th round.
Why the light will be flipped at these rounds? Because 6=1*6=2*3
. In general, the factors come in
pairs, which means that the number of times the switch is pressed is usually even, but in a special case, if there
are 16 lights, how many times will the 16th light be flipped?
16=1*16=2*8=4*4
The factor 4 repeats, so the 16th light will be flipped 5 times which is odd, and now you understand the relationships to the square root, right?
But, we’re going to figure out how many lights are on at the end, and what does that mean by square root? Just think about it a little bit.
Suppose we have 16 lights, and we take the square root of 16, which is equal to 4, and that means we’re going to
end up with 4 lights on. The lights are 1*1=1
, 2*2=4
, 3*3=9
, and
4*4=16
.
Some square root of n turns out to be a decimal. However, converting them to integers is the same thing as getting all the integers smaller than a certain integer upper bound, and the square roots of these numbers are the index of the lights on at last. so just turn the square root into an integer, that’s the answer to the question.

Most presenter will share their slide deck on the web after their presentation. But many times the slides are only a shell of the real talk. Fortunately, with HTML5 audio, we can add our voice back to our slides and recreate the real presentation.
Sample Example
To show what we’re trying to accomplish, I’ve created a very basic slide deck with audio narration which briefly describes the issue at hand.
Audio on the Web
Back when the web was just taking off, it was common (bad) practice to include audio on your page. I’m not talking about a Flash-based music player, but rather the more primitive audio solution: <bgsound>
. Those who were programming back when HTML 3.2 came out will be familiar with this oft-forgotten tag.
Luckily for us, <bgsound>
isn’t the end of the story. According to the latest W3C spec, <bgsound>
has a much friendlier HTML5 alternative that you’ve likely heard of: the <audio>
tag.
So what benefits does <audio>
bring us? Well, <bgsound>
was an IE only property. <audio>
on the other hand has wide support, with only IE 7 & 8 lacking functionality. <audio>
also allows API access so that we can control playback, seek through the audio, and even manipulate the data with the MediaStream API. Plus, the <audio>
tag allows you to use native controls and/or provide your own customized controls.
File formats
Before getting in to the details on how we’re going to use the <audio>
tag, we need to talk a little about file formats. The MP3 format has gained tremendous popularity over the last decade and a half, but unfortunately due to licensing requirements, relying on MP3’s for our audio is a messy situation.
Luckily for us, the <audio>
tag supports multiple formats gracefully. This means we can create a patchwork of audio file formats to gain full browser support. And we’ll need a patch work because no one format is currently supported across all browsers.
For our needs, we’ve created two files: an MP4/AAC file and an OggVorbis file.
If you’d like to read more on the subject, I highly recommend Ashley Gullen’s post ‘On HTML5 audio formats – AAC and Ogg’.
How to Use It?
We can load our audio files by adding in two <source>
tags with information about our two audio files inside of the <audio>
tag:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
There are two attributes for each <source>
tag. The ‘src’ attribute, whose value is the path to the audio file, and the ‘type’ attribute, whose value is the MIME type of the file.
Again, the browser will choose whichever file it supports without you having to do any detective work. Very nice.
Starting/Stopping
Okay, so now if we load this into a webpage we’ll get a simple audio player that we can manually control. What’s nice is that since we used the ‘controls’ attribute, the audio player controls are built for us by the browser. This makes allowing manual control of our audio very simple.
For our needs, we want to control the playback of the audio programmatically. To do this, let’s take a look at the API for starting and stopping playback. The element has two built-in methods for this, ‘play’ and ‘pause’. Calling those methods is straightforward:
1 2 3 |
|
These methods will come in handy in a moment when we want to start playing our audio after we change slides.
Seeking
The other part of the equation is the ability to seek to different locations in our audio. Again, this is very simple. Our element has a ‘currentTime’ property that can be both get and set (in seconds).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
|
As you can see, getting and setting the current time is a trivial process. In the Part 2, we’ll put this functionality to use by adding narration to slides.
Implementing Slide Narration
So now we’ve got the building blocks for implementing a slide narrator. To make things easier, we’re going to use the fantastic ‘Deck.js’ project as our HTML slide framework. Deck.js supports extensions, which allows you to add functionality to your slides beyond what’s already provided.
We’ll be creating a new extension called Narrator. For brevity’s sake, I won’t get into the details of Deck.js or creating extensions, but you can check out the code in the deck.narrator.js GitHub repo.
Our extension boils down to one requirement: It should automatically play a defined section of audio on each slide.
That might sound simple, but we need to figure out a couple of things first:
- How will we define what audio to play for each slide?
- How will we stop the audio after it gets to the end of the section
Defining Audio Stops
There are a couple of ways to define what segment of the audio each slide plays. You could define a start time and a stop time for each slide, but that seems like too much work. Instead we’ll just define how long each slide should play for, and then calculate the implied start and stop timestamps for each slide.
To store our audio duration, we’ll take advantage of HTML5 data-* attributes by creating a custom ‘data-narrator-duration’ attribute. The value of this will be the number of seconds to play the audio for. Here’s a sample slide element for a Deck.js HTML file.
1 2 3 |
|
Then, upon page initialization, we’ll loop through each slide element and calculate the proper start/stop timestamps for each slide. This is important in case our viewer wants to move through the slides in a non-linear fashion. Here’s the basic code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 |
|
Adding Playback Automatically on Slide Change
Now that we’ve got our segment timestamps defined, let’s look at playing that audio on each slide transition. Deck.js fires a ‘deck.change’ event when the slide is changed, so we can hook into that and have it call our changeSlides function, which looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
|
Most of the code makes sense, but I do want to talk about the ‘segmentEnd’ line and what it’s doing.
Playing Segments of Audio
Unfortunately, you can’t give the play()
function an amount of time to play for. Once you start playing, it will keep going until it runs out of audio or you tell it to pause. Thankfully, the audio element emits a ‘timeupdate’ event which we can listen to in order to pause playback once our segment timestamp has been reached. We can add that listener just like any other event listener:
1
|
|
Our ‘checkTime’ function is very small. All it does is check to see if currentTime in the audio is greater than the segmentEnd time. If so, it pauses our audio:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
Automatically Moving Through Slides
Now that we’ve got our audio hooked up to our slides, we can take advantage of the other extensions already written for Deck.js. https://github.com/rchampourlier/deck.automatic.js/ is an extension that makes your slides run automatically. By including this extension with our presentation, we can recreate that ‘presentation’ feel to our slides.
Aside from the going through the steps of adding the automatic extension, we also need to make sure that if a user starts/stops the audio, we start/stop the slideshow playback. To do this, we’ll sync up the ‘play’ and ‘pause’ events of our audio element with the automatic extension. For simplicity, we’re going to control all slide playback using our audio controls and leave off the deck.automatic.js playback control.
Deck.automatic.js adds some events to the mix, including ‘play’ and ‘pause’ events. By triggering these events when our similarly named audio events fire, we can make sure our slides are in sync with our content.
We add two simple functions to our extension:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
|
And then add our event listeners in the deck.init callback:

Also, since our slides automatically advance, we need to comment out the ‘timeupdate’ event listener which would pause our audio at the end of a slide.
With those things taken care of, our slides and audio automatically transition to create a seamless experience.
Next Steps
One thing the code doesn’t take into consideration is if the user navigation the audio themselves. We could add this by listening to the ‘seeked’ event from the audio element and calculating where in the slide deck we should move to.
There is also some duplication around defining the duration of the as a result of adding in the automatic slide advancement extension. The other extension is looking for a data-duration attribute on each slide. This can be easily fixed by updating our code to look for that attribute instead.
Finally, we need to add in some captioning for folks who either cannot hear the audio or are in a public place and simply forgot their headphones. There is a new track
tag that can handle this for us, so that’s a likely route we can go down.
Summing Up
That’s the majority of the code. I left out a few details in relation to some deck.js configurations, so again check out the GitHub repo for the full example.

The idea of to start competition during the corona pandemic to make them utilization of their time to showing the skills. .
Last year There were three domains in chitralekh pratiyogita i.e photography, Videography and writing. All the creative works were posted in our Instagram page.
They got a great platform to showcase our talents even in those lockdown days. Such competitions encourages as well as motivates to find the hidden talent inside them.
The result declare on the basis of audience vote on the last date of competition and get certified.

This extension is to mimics the LaTeX Physics Package in MathJax. For details, see the GitHub pages and the GitHub repository of this extension.
The following commands in the Physics Package is not implemented yet:
*
modified command[]
(or ()
) is involved\dv
: has all the properties mentioned aboveAs I mentioned, everything done so far is by string substitution only. Some hints are given in Pull Request#16—MathJax-third-party-extensions but my skill is too limited to understand how the above cases should be handled. Feel free to improve it though.
physics.xlsx
is the master file.
License.js
is used to store the license that should be appended to the .js
files.
Other files are built automatically by physics.sh
. MultiMarkdown, UglifyJS2, LaTeX are assumed. I used it on Mac and have no idea if the way my bash script is written is OS agnostic or not.
A few tests are given:


This inspection reports parameters or local variables, found in the specified inspection
scope, that may have a final modifier added.
Use checkboxes in the inspection options below, to define whether parameters or local variables (or both) are to be reported.


Gap's Old Navy brand to exit China in early 2020
by ReutersGap Inc said on Thursday it would not sell its Old Navy apparels in China from early 2020 and instead would focus on its North America market to boost sales.
Gap is planning to separate its better-performing Old Navy brand, giving investors hopes that the standalone company would be able to show better results than the Gap brand. (Reporting by Nivedita Balu in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)


Our REST API allows programmatic access to oaDOI's data. It's free and open for anyone to use. There's no rate limit, although if you need more than 100k calls/day you may want to use our data dump instead.
Requests must include your email, so that we can
get in touch if something breaks, and so we can report usage to our funders.
Add the email as a parameter at the end of the URL, like this:
?email=YOUR_EMAIL
.
The API is very simple, and has just two endpoints. Both are read-only.
GET /
gets information about the API.
Returns a status object with version number. Try it here:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>GET /:doi
gets data about a single DOI. Try this example:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>{
"doi": "10.1038/nature12873",
"doi_resolver": "crossref",
"evidence": "oa repository (via base-search.net oa url)",
"free_fulltext_url": "https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/12785839/3944098.pdf?sequence=1",
"is_boai_license": false,
"is_free_to_read": true,
"is_subscription_journal": true,
"license": "cc-by-nc",
"oa_color": "green",
"url": "http://doi.org/10.1038/nature12873"
}
Here are some notes on the response fields. The fields shown are stable, but
additional ones may be added over time, so don't count on the number of keys.
doi
: the requested DOIdoi_resolver
: String. Possible values:
evidence
: String. A phrase summarizing the step of our OA detection process where we found the free_fulltext_url
.free_fulltext_url
: String. The url where we found a free-to-read version of the DOI. None when no free-to-read version was found.
is_boai_license
: Boolean. True whenever the license
is cc-by, cc0, or PD. This is the highly-regarded BOAI definition of Open accessis_free_to_read
: Boolean. True whenever the free_fulltext_url
is not None.is_subscription_journal
: Boolean. True whenever the journal is not in the Directory of Open Access Journals or DataCite.license
: String. Contains the name of the Creative Commons license associated with the free_fulltext_url
, whenever we find one. Example: "cc-by".oa_color
: String. Possible values:
url
: the canonical DOI URLWe're working on releasing the entire oaDOI knowledge base as a downloadable dataset. It should be ready in early April. Until then, feel free to contact us and we can send you whatever we have got so far.

nview presents a view which iterates over a given Sequence in a specified order. An nview is constructed from an arbitrary Sequence and a list of indicies specifying the elements to iterate over.
#include <boost/fusion/view/nview.hpp> #include <boost/fusion/include/nview.hpp>
template <typename Sequence, typename Indicies> struct nview; template <typename Sequence, int I1, int I2 = -1, ...> typename result_of::nview<Sequence, I1, I2, ...>::type as_nview(Sequence& s);
Parameter |
Description |
Default |
|---|---|---|
Sequence |
An arbitrary Fusion Forward Sequence |
|
Indicies |
A mpl::vector_c<int, ...> holding the indicies defining the required iteration order. |
|
I1, I2, I3... |
A list of integers specifying the required iteration order. |
INT_MAX for I2, I3... |
Notation
A nview type
An instance of Sequences
