Gradient Boosting
1. Gradient boosting
In gradient boosting, much like in adaboost, we fit a sequence of weak learners in an iterative manner. In this way, the predictor at the mth-step is given as a sum of the predictors from previoues iterations, that is,
\[F_m(x)=\gamma_0+\gamma_1 w_1(x)+\ldots+\gamma_m w_m(x)\]where $w_i(x)$ is the weak-learner predictor and $\gamma_0$ is a constant.
To motivate the gradient we consider the Taylor approximation of the loss function around $F_{m-1}$, that is,
\[L(F_m)=L(F_{m-1})+\frac{\partial L}{\partial F}\Bigr|_{F_{m-1}}(F_m-F_{m-1})+\ldots\]In the gradient descent algorithm we take a step of magnitude proportional to
\[F_m-F_{m-1}\propto-\frac{\partial L}{\partial F_{m-1}}\]The constant of proportionality is the learning rate. Since
\[F_m-F_{m-1}\propto w(x)\]the best we can do is to fit $w(x)$ to the gradient descent direction, that is,
\[w(x)\sim -\frac{\partial L}{\partial F_{m-1}}\]where $\sim$ means that we fit the learner. In order to fix $\gamma_m$, effectively the learning rate, we solve the one-dimensional optimization problem
\[\gamma_m=\text{argmin}_{\gamma_m} L(y,F_{m-1}+\gamma_m w(x))\]where $y$ is the target array. We repeat this process until the solution is sufficiently accurate.
To exemplify how this works in practice, consider a binary classification problem. In this case, we use the logit function using the boosting algorithm. In other words, we assume that the likelihood \(p(y=0|x)\) has the form
\[p(y=0|x)=\frac{1}{1+e^{-F_m(x)}}\]with $F_m(x)$ given as above. The loss $L$ is the the log-loss function. The gradient descent direction is given by the variational derivative, that is,
\[r^i\equiv-\frac{\partial L}{\partial F_{m-1}}\Bigr|_{x^i}=\frac{e^{-F_{m-1}(x^i)}}{1+e^{-F_{m-1}(x^i)}}-y^i\]and we fit $w_m(x)$ to $r^i$. Then we are left with the minimization problem
\[\text{argmin}_{\gamma_m} \sum_{y^i=0}\ln\Big( 1+e^{-F_{m-1}(x^i)-\gamma_m w_m(x^i)}\Big) -\sum_{y^i=1}\ln \Big(\frac{e^{-F_{m-1}(x^i)-\gamma_m w(x^i)}}{1+e^{-F_{m-1}(x^i)-\gamma_m w(x^i)}}\Big)\]which determines the learning rate, that is, $\gamma_m$. This is a convex optimization problem and can be solved using the Newton-Raphson method.
2. Decision Boundary
We fit an GradBoost classifier to a dataset consisting of two sets of points, red and blue, which are normally distributed. Below is the Gradient boosting prediction after six steps.
And below we present the prediction at each step of training, from left to right
One can see that the algorithm is trying to overfit the data by drawing a more complex decision boundary at each step. If we let the algorithm run with 30 estimators the decision boundary becomes very complex
3. Python implementation
The class node encapsulates the data structure that we will use to store fitted models.
class node:
def __init__(self,tree=None,gamma=None):
self.tree=tree
self.gamma=gamma
self.next=None
def insert(self,tree,gamma):
if self.next is None:
self.next=node(tree,gamma)
else:
return self.next.insert(tree,gamma)
def output(self,x):
if self.tree is not None:
out=self.tree.predict(x)
if self.next is None:
return out*self.gamma
else:
return out*self.gamma+self.next.output(x)
The GradBoostClassifier class implements the boosting algorithm. We use the Newton-Raphson method to determine $\gamma$ at each step in the iteration.
class GradBoostClassifier:
def __init__(self,n_iter):
self.n_iter=n_iter
self.head=None
self.classes=None
self.gamma0=None
def __sigmoid(self,x):
prob=np.exp(x)/(1+np.exp(x))
return prob

g=0.1
g_prev=0.1
cl=self.classes[0]
not_converged=True
i=0
while not_converged:
prob=self.__sigmoid(F+g*h)
grad_dd=h*h*p*(1-p)
grad_dd=grad_dd.sum()
grad_d=h*(p-y)
grad_d=grad_d.sum()
delta=-grad_d/grad_dd
g+=delta
i+=1
if np.abs(g_prev-g)<0.01:
not_converged=False
if i>10000:
break
g_prev=g
return g
def fit(self,x,y):
self.head=node()
self.classes=sorted(list(set(y)))
self.class_dic={c:i for i,c in enumerate(self.classes)}
cl=self.classes[0]
yc=y.copy()
yc[y==cl]=0
yc[y!=cl]=1
n1=(yc==1).sum()
n0=(yc==0).sum()
self.gamma0=np.log(n1/n0)
#1st STEP
F=self.gamma0
p=n1/(n1+n0)*np.ones(x.shape[0])
res=-p+yc
tree=DecisionTreeRegressor(max_depth=3)
tree.fit(x,res)
h=tree.predict(x)
gamma=self.__minima(h,F,yc)
self.head.tree=tree
self.head.gamma=gamma
for i in range(1,self.n_iter):
F=self.gamma0+self.head.output(x)
p=self.__sigmoid(F)
res=-p+yc
tree=DecisionTreeRegressor(max_depth=3)
tree.fit(x,res)
h=tree.predict(x)
gamma=self.__minima(h,F,yc)
self.head.insert(tree,gamma)
def predict(self,x):
p=self.gamma0+self.head.output(x)
p=self.__sigmoid(p)
ycl=(p>=0.5).astype(int)
ypred=ycl.copy()
ypred[ycl==1]=self.classes[1]
ypred[ycl==0]=self.classes[0]

The Vulnerability Analysis and Pen-Testing Suite (VAPTS) is a intuitive graphical user interface (GUI)-based penetration testing and network analysis tool, designed for Small-to-Medium sized enterprises (SMEs) who may lack the technical knowledge or the resources to properly manage their networks effectively, and therefore have risks they are unaware of.
Our dashboard is where users can get a full overview of what is on their network, showing different tiers of risk and the corresponding total amount, in clear and bold fashion.
Our ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) viewer is a low-level network discovery tool, that gives users the ability to see the IP addresses and associated physical (MAC) addresses of devices on the network. In the screenshot below you can see VAPTS on the left giving the users a readout of a recent Arp scan, this can be compared to the default Arp command that ran through the command prompt on a windows machine on the right. You will notice that VAPTS can identify the devices manufacturer, due to our built-in web scraping techniques. We felt it was important for the users to be able to quickly identify the devices and having more detailed information about said devices allows for that to happen.
Our NMap function makes what is commonly a command-line program, more accessible to the public. Nmap is a free and open-source network scanner created by Gordon Lyon. This tool is used to discover devices and services on a network by sending packets and analyzing the responses from said devices. This can help users see who and what is running on their networks Not only can any possible malicious devices be seen, but also for simply monitoring the total number of devices, such as when diagnosing slow connection speeds.
Our port scanner allows the user to probe their network for open ports and gives a detailed readout of the port number, state, and description of what the port is used for, along with our recommendation on if the port should be open or closed. This can be seen at the bottom in the screenshot below, with easy to see indicators on security risk and the number of ports within each of the three categories shown clearly.
In VAPTS we also offer a password strength tester, this tool can help users test their passwords based on lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers,length and special characters. Weak passwords can allow intruders into your account. They can hijack email and social media accounts and use them as spam bots. They can steal private information, possibly leading to identity theft. Passwords that aren’t long and complex are vulnerable to “brute force” attacks, which guess every possible combination of characters until they happen across the correct one. Typically, they try combinations of lowercase characters first. Passwords that contain personal info (birth year, favorite sports team) are easier for hackers to guess.
Our Username lookup can help track down usernames on the most popular sites on the internet.
VAPTS comes with the option of viewing some analyics in graph form, this can help people better understand what they are seeing in regards to their own network.

CREATE AGGREGATE
Section: SQL Commands (7)Updated: 2012-08-14
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
CREATE AGGREGATE - define a new aggregate functionSYNOPSIS
CREATE AGGREGATE name ( input_data_type [ , ... ] ) ( SFUNC = sfunc, STYPE = state_data_type [ , FINALFUNC = ffunc ] [ , INITCOND = initial_condition ] [ , SORTOP = sort_operator ] ) or the old syntax CREATE AGGREGATE name ( BASETYPE = base_type, SFUNC = sfunc, STYPE = state_data_type [ , FINALFUNC = ffunc ] [ , INITCOND = initial_condition ] [ , SORTOP = sort_operator ] )
DESCRIPTION
CREATE AGGREGATE defines a new aggregate function. Some basic and commonly-used aggregate functions are included with the distribution; they are documented in in the documentation. If one defines new types or needs an aggregate function not already provided, then CREATE AGGREGATE can be used to provide the desired features.
If a schema name is given (for example, CREATE AGGREGATE myschema.myagg ...) then the aggregate function is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
An aggregate function is identified by its name and input data type(s). Two aggregates in the same schema can have the same name if they operate on different input types. The name and input data type(s) of an aggregate must also be distinct from the name and input data type(s) of every ordinary function in the same schema.
An aggregate function is made from one or two ordinary functions: a state transition function sfunc, and an optional final calculation function ffunc. These are used as follows:
sfunc( internal-state, next-data-values ) ---> next-internal-state ffunc( internal-state ) ---> aggregate-value
PostgreSQL creates a temporary variable of data type stype to hold the current internal state of the aggregate. At each input row, the aggregate argument value(s) are calculated and the state transition function is invoked with the current state value and the new argument value(s) to calculate a new internal state value. After all the rows have been processed, the final function is invoked once to calculate the aggregate's return value. If there is no final function then the ending state value is returned as-is.
An aggregate function can provide an initial condition, that is, an initial value for the internal state value. This is specified and stored in the database as a value of type text, but it must be a valid external representation of a constant of the state value data type. If it is not supplied then the state value starts out null.
If the state transition function is declared ``strict'', then it cannot be called with null inputs. With such a transition function, aggregate execution behaves as follows. Rows with any null input values are ignored (the function is not called and the previous state value is retained). If the initial state value is null, then at the first row with all-nonnull input values, the first argument value replaces the state value, and the transition function is invoked at subsequent rows with all-nonnull input values. This is handy for implementing aggregates like max. Note that this behavior is only available when state_data_type is the same as the first input_data_type. When these types are different, you must supply a nonnull initial condition or use a nonstrict transition function.
If the state transition function is not strict, then it will be called unconditionally at each input row, and must deal with null inputs and null transition values for itself. This allows the aggregate author to have full control over the aggregate's handling of null values.
If the final function is declared ``strict'', then it will not be called when the ending state value is null; instead a null result will be returned automatically. (Of course this is just the normal behavior of strict functions.) In any case the final function has the option of returning a null value. For example, the final function for avg returns null when it sees there were zero input rows.
Aggregates that behave like MIN or MAX can sometimes be optimized by looking into an index instead of scanning every input row. If this aggregate can be so optimized, indicate it by specifying a sort operator. The basic requirement is that the aggregate must yield the first element in the sort ordering induced by the operator; in other words:
SELECT agg(col) FROM tab;must be equivalent to:
SELECT col FROM tab ORDER BY col USING sortop LIMIT 1;Further assumptions are that the aggregate ignores null inputs, and that it delivers a null result if and only if there were no non-null inputs. Ordinarily, a data type's < operator is the proper sort operator for MIN, and > is the proper sort operator for MAX. Note that the optimization will never actually take effect unless the specified operator is the ``less than'' or ``greater than'' strategy member of a B-tree index operator class.
PARAMETERS
- name
- The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the aggregate function to create.
- input_data_type
- An input data type on which this aggregate function operates. To create a zero-argument aggregate function, write * in place of the list of input data types. (An example of such an aggregate is count(*).)
- base_type
- In the old syntax for CREATE AGGREGATE, the input data type is specified by a basetype parameter rather than being written next to the aggregate name. Note that this syntax allows only one input parameter. To define a zero-argument aggregate function, specify the basetype as "ANY" (not *).
- sfunc
- The name of the state transition function to be called for each input row. For an N-argument aggregate function, the sfunc must take N+1 arguments, the first being of type state_data_type and the rest matching the declared input data type(s) of the aggregate. The function must return a value of type state_data_type. This function takes the current state value and the current input data value(s), and returns the next state value.
- state_data_type
- The data type for the aggregate's state value.
- ffunc
- The name of the final function called to compute the aggregate's result after all input rows have been traversed. The function must take a single argument of type state_data_type. The return data type of the aggregate is defined as the return type of this function. If ffunc is not specified, then the ending state value is used as the aggregate's result, and the return type is state_data_type.
- initial_condition
- The initial setting for the state value. This must be a string constant in the form accepted for the data type state_data_type. If not specified, the state value starts out null.
- sort_operator
- The associated sort operator for a MIN- or MAX-like aggregate. This is just an operator name (possibly schema-qualified). The operator is assumed to have the same input data types as the aggregate (which must be a single-argument aggregate).
The parameters of CREATE AGGREGATE can be written in any order, not just the order illustrated above.
EXAMPLES
COMPATIBILITY
CREATE AGGREGATE is a PostgreSQL language extension. The SQL standard does not provide for user-defined aggregate functions.

THIEVES OF THE NIGHT (Voleurs de la nuit, Les) (Thieves After Dark) (director/writer: Samuel Fuller; screenwriter: Olivier Beer from his novel Le Chant des Enfants Morts; cinematographer: Philippe Rousselot; editor: Catherine Kelber; cast: Véronique Jannot (Isabelle), Bobby Di Cicco (François), Andréas Voutsinas (Jose), Claude Chabrol (Tartuffe), Victor Lanoux (Inspector Farbet), Rachel Salik (Mussolini), Samuel Fuller (Zoltan), Jacques Maury (Desterne), Camille de Casabianca (Corinne Desterne), Stéphane Audran (Isabelle's Mother); Runtime: 98; Parafrance; 1984-France)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A below-average "Bonnie and Clyde" tale, about lovers on-the-run after a murder in Paris. A young couple is pursued for a murder they never did. This B-film, directed by Samuel Fuller, is one that failed to work. The setup seemed so wooden, while the bourgeois villains seemed more like cartoon figures than real people. Even the hero and the heroine failed to be convincing and looked more like imitations picked off the reels of other such B-films.
François (Di Cicco) is an unemployed violinist. Isabelle (Jannot) is looking for work as an art historian. They are both at the unemployment agency-ANPE-and feel humiliated looking for work and not being offered jobs they feel are respectable. He's offered a job as a dishwasher by Mr. Crepin (Chabrol), someone he mocks by calling him Tartuffe. Isabelle sees Ms. Morelle (Salik), one she calls Mussolini, and is offered a job in a porno theater. The counselors have no regard for their unemployed clients and treat them like dirt. Tartuffe hits on his female applicants, while Mussolini combs her mustache instead of listening to her applicants.
Isabelle can't take it anymore and throws a chair through Mussolini's window, as the gentle François rescues her from being caught in the ensuing chaos. They flee together, have some coffee, and become lovers. Not able to get jobs or make it as street musicians, they decide to become thieves. They will rob the three counselors they despise -- Mussolini, Mr. Desterne, and Tartuffe -- and humiliate them in the same way they have been by them.
When they rob Tartuffe, he accidentally falls off the ledge of a building while being a voyeur. But Isabelle thinks she killed him by fright. The cops are also after them, led by Inspector Farbet (Lanoux). Their mentor, Jose (Voutsinas), an ex-con now running a junk shop and reconstructing old musical instruments, helps them get a fence (Fuller) for their stolen goods. He will later help the lovers escape the police.
Warning: spoiler to follow in next paragraph.
The lovers flee to the border, get recognized, and Isabelle is unnecessarily killed by a custom police officer. François responds by killing two officers, and is arrested after giving a violin concert. The police now know the couple was innocent of murder, as a witness came forward verifying the death as accidental.
This one should only be appreciated by Sam Fuller fans.

Best gifts: Gadgets to get you fit and healthy
by Adrian Kingsley-HughesWith the new year approaching, why not gently shift your focus toward good habits, health, fitness, and being kind to yourself?
The new year is fast approaching, and while I'm well aware of the fact that it's cliché, but it's a great time to gently shift the focus toward good habits, health, fitness, and being kind to ourselves. We live in a world where stress is rife, and we're pushed into unhealthy habits such as too much sitting and eating things that aren't necessarily good for us.
Also: More Black Friday coverage
And the good thing is that you can use technology to help you with your health and fitness goals!
Best fitness gadgets
Disclosure: ZDNet may earn a commission from some of the products featured on this page.
iPhone (price varies per model)
- See it now: Apple
At the core of my fitness gadgets is my iPhone. You could use an Android device for sure, but for me, the vast array of gadgets and apps that are available for the iOS platform makes it a winner for me.
Pretty much all my fitness devices flow data into my iPhone in one way or another, and it that way it is an indispensable part of my day-to-day fitness plan. Whether it is tracking a workout, or keeping an eye on my sleep or weight, the iPhone offers a complete and total window into my fitness world.
And despite all my misgivings over the iPhone and the iOS platform, for me, it's the best platform out there.
Soundcore Spirit Pro for $39
- See it now: Amazon
One of the things core to my fitness training has been having comfortable earbuds that don't get wreaked by sweat, have a long battery life, and don't cost the earth. Soundcore earbuds have been a long-term favorite of mine, and the Spirit Pro combines robustness, good sound, and 10-hour battery life in a single package.
Withings BPM Core (UK-only)
- See it now: Withings
A 3-in-1 health monitor that combines a blood pressure monitor with an ECG for detecting atrial fibrillation, and a digital stethoscope that is used to detect valvular heart diseases. Great for keeping an eye on things between visits to the doctor's office.
Apple Watch 5 for $399+
- See it now: Apple
There are a lot of smartwatch fitness devices out there, and the Apple Watch is not only one of the best, but it is also the most popular smartwatch by far. It can do all sorts of things, from tracking your steps to keeping an eye on your heart health.
If you can live with a daily -- or at the least every other day -- charging routine, then the Apple Watch is worth considering.
HeartMath Inner Balance for $129+
- See it now: HeartMath
The Inner Balance is a heart rate monitor with a difference. Rather than giving you a beats per minute number, the Inner Balance measures something called Heart Rate Variability, which is a heart metric that gives an insight into stress levels and recovery.
Hyperice Hypervolt for $349
- See it now: Amazon
Recovery is key to being able to continue training, and a tool that I've found to be invaluable is the Hyperice Hypervolt vibrating massage tool.
This tool is lightweight, cordless, and designed to deliver targeted deep tissue massage to help get rid of those knots in worked muscles, relieve common muscle pain and stiffness, and improve mobility -- thanks to its three adjustable speed settings delivering up to 3,200 percussions per minute.
PowerDot 2.0 for $199
See it now: Amazon
An electric muscle stimulator and TENS unit like no other. This one you control from an app and comes with a range of specific programs designed for pain relief, relaxation, injury prevention, and sports performance. It is also a great way to melt away the stresses of the day.
Withings Body Cardio for $150
- See it now: Amazon
I was never been one for jumping on the scales with any regularity, but I knew that it was time to get that fixed. And if I can keep an eye on a few other metrics while I'm at it, so much the better.
The scale I chose was the Withings Body Cardio, which along with logging weight also measures several other things, such as body fat and lean mass. It also beams this data to the cloud and makes it available to other apps for logging and processing.
The Withings Body Cardio is a rechargeable device, but it lasts a good 12 months between recharges, and I've only recharged mine three times in the time I've owned it (I don't let the battery go flat and do a recharge when I wipe it down).
Everysight Raptor for $599
- See it now: Everysight
AR glasses for cycling that project real-time information such as speed and also connects to sensors such as heart rate and cadence, allowing the rider to keep their eyes on the road or trail. The Raptor also features a built-in HD camera for recording rides.
Garmin Instinct for $300
- See it now: Amazon
If your life is too extreme for a wearable like the Apple Watch, then the Garmin Instinct may be for you. This is a rugged GPS watch was built to withstand the toughest environments. It allows you to train smart no matter where in the world you are and has a battery life of up to 14 days.

Reflections on the culture of EDA/CDA
December 3, 2015
It's interesting attempting to answer these questions becasue I'm trying to go into EDA with as few expectations as possible. My main expectation is that it is and will be a lot of hard work. It's so different to anything I've ever done before so I feel like my brain needs to get used to thinking in a totally different way, as well as being constantly loaded up with new information. I'm already getting used to being in a perpetual state of confusion! I assume that if I work hard enough, at some point the haze will clear a little and lightbulbs will start going off everywhere. Here's hoping!
One thing that stuck out for me in Shereef's talk was about a change in mindset from a consumptive sit-on-your-butt way of being to a proactive-empowered-team kind of a mindset. As an environmental campaigner, I'm always trying to promote this way of thinking. It's so much more beneficial to the world and to yourself. It really allows people to feel empowered to create their own future, both in the macro sense and on a day to day level. Awesome.
I think I'll slot into the culture of EDA pretty well. Already we've talked about gender equality and accessibility. I see the world through a lense that is quite focused on class and priviledge. This is sometimes good and sometimes bad but I already feel a culture of priviledge checking and inclusivity. It makes me feel way more comfortable about attending the next phase.
I am still pretty nervous about it all. I find remote learning really difficult but I've started reflecting on and noting all the things that make it easier or harder for me. The idea of coming and doing it in person with a big bunch of new people is also really scary! I really resonated when Shereef talked about 'imposter syndrome' it's something that I've struggled with a lot in life. It can really cripple ones feeling of achievement and satisfaction. Luckily as I get older I'm learning to value myself more and allow the feeling of satisfaction in. Being in a supportive work environment really helps. I think the EDA culture faciliates that kind of an environment, so while I still find all this EDA coding stuff really scary, I'm confident that I'll come out the other end feeling amazing!

The A() function calculates the A statistic, a nonparametric measure of effect size for two independent groups that’s also known as the probability of superiority (Ruscio, 2008), along with its standard error and a confidence interval constructed using bootstrap methods (Ruscio & Mullen, 2012). Additional functions are provided to calculate variants of the A statistic developed for other research designs (e.g., related samples, more than two independent groups or related samples; Ruscio & Gera, 2013). <doi:10.1037/1082-989X.13.1.19>. <doi:10.1080/00273171.2012.658329>. <doi:10.1080/00273171.2012.738184>.

Introduction
One of the most useful forms of analysis to do with your dataset first is a bi-variate correlation.
This allows us to see which of our independent varibles are strongly correlated with our dependent (outcome) variable.
The correct correlation to use is almost always Pearson’s correlation.
Theory
We’re often interested in a simple expression of the relationship between one variable and another.
We can broadly think about three different ways two variables can be related:
- they can be positively correlated (the more you eat, the fuller you feel) - the first two scatterplots in Figure 1.
- they can be negatively correlated (the more you eat, the less food is on your plate) - the last two scatter plots in Figure 1
- there can be no correlation (the number of sunspots, and how much you eat) - the middle scatterplot in Figure 1
Correlation coefficients, such as the Pearson correlation coefficient, allow us to put an exact number on the size of the correlation between two variables.
The formal equation for pearson’s correlation coefficient (also called ‘r’) is
\[r = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar x)(y_i - \bar y)}{(N-1)s_x s_y}\]
\[ Where: \] \[ \bar x = \text{mean of x} \] \[ \bar y = \text{mean of y} \] \[ \bar N = \text{number of observations} \] \[ s_x = \text{standard deviation of x} \] \[ s_y = \text{standard deviation of y} \]
While this equation may be scary, the general interpretation of correlation coefficients not difficult:
- correlation coefficients vary from -1 to 1
- positive values (i.e. greater than zero, up to 1) represent a positive correlation
- negative values (i.e. less than zero, down to -1) represent a negative correlation
- values close to zero mean that there is no significant relationship between the two variables (the two variables are independent of each other)
- larger values (in absolute terms - closer to 1 or -1) reflect a stronger relationship
- A rule of thumb is that a Pearson’s correlation of 0.1-0.2 represents a weak relationship, 0.3-0.4 a moderate one and 0.5+ a strong relationship (all of these are absolute values).
Figure 2, below, shows visualisations of different correlation coefficients.
Two Tables
There are two main types of correlation tables you might want to produce:
- a table which shows the correlation of all the independent variables with the dependent variable/s.
- a matrix which shows the correlation of all variables with all other varibles
Figures 3 and 4 below show examples of these.
Figures 3 and 4 below show examples of these.
Figures 3 and 4 below show examples of these.
Pearsons Correlation
- Go to Analyze > Correlate > Bivariate
The left window contains all the variables in your dataset NOT in the correlation. The right window contains all the variables in the correlation.
For this analysis, you want everything in the analysis. So click on one of the variables in the left window and then press ‘Control + A’. This will ‘select all’.
Then click the arrow in the middle of the screen. This will move all the variables to the right.
The default options are fine, so then just click “OK”
- You should see a huge, almost unreadable, table like the one below. This version can be useful for identifying correlations between your independent variables.
- Double click anywhere on the table, and ‘Pivot Table’ should appear
- If the ‘Pivot Trays’ are not showing go to Pivot>Pivot Trays
- The Pivot Trays should appear as below.
- Click and hold the vertically written word ‘Variables’, and drag it to the top white box on the ‘LAYER’
- On the Pivot Table, you will see a drop down box. Click on this and select your dependent variable. You will now have a list of the bivariate correlations of all your independent variables with your dependent variable.
Making Publishable Tables
If you are writing a report and you need to put these descriptive statistics into a report, then DO NOT just make a screenshot of the SPSS output.
Instead, what you should do is:
- right click on the table you want to copy, and select ‘copy’
- open Excel, and then paste as text (this will strip out formating). Option could be called “Keep Text Only (T)” or “Match destination formating (M)”.
- In Excel, delete the rows for N (number of cases), and the significance (it is already indicated in the stars /* and // )
- Orient the column headings vertically (select cells, then right click>Format cells…>Alignment>Orientation)
- Create three vertical lines in the table: (1) at the top of the table, (2) at the bottom of the table, and (3) under the column headings.
- Align the columns with numbers in them to the centre (keep the first column, with the variable names, left-aligned)
- AutoFit the column widths by selecting all the columns and then double clicking boundary between any two column headings.
- Turn off gridlines (View>Gridlines)
- Take a screenshot of the table and paste into your report.

In order to adapt the process to the search it is necessary to provide some information about it to PeptideShaker.
Some parameters are set by default, while some have to be set manually.
If the identification files were generated using
SearchGUI, settings will be loaded automatically!
The search parameters are mandatory for the import of identifications as well as for their processing and display. Set here the enzyme used, the number of allowed missed cleavages and the fragment ion mass tolerance.
The modification profile is a project-dependent set of expected modifications. PeptideShaker will check this
list when a PTM is found in the identification results. Modifications can be grouped into families and will then be
processed together.
It is possible to change the family and short names used for a given modification. Simply click the cell you
want to edit. In the same way, the color used for a given modification can be changed by clicking on the current
color. The names and colors set here will be used throughout the tool.
It is vital that two different families do not contain PTMs of the same mass!
The modification profile can be saved and opened from here as well.
Modification profile details can be changed later from the Edit menu.
When exporting data to PRIDE each PTM has to be mapped to a given PSI-MOD CV term. The default PTMs are already
mapped but user defined PTMs have to be mapped by the user. If this is not already done in SearchGUI,
the mapping can be added here by right clicking the given row and selecting Edit.
Click the PSI-MOD link to get further details about PTM.
For simplicity, it is also possible to load the standard settings from a SearchGUI file.

#Tactical Fuzzing - SQLi
SQL Injection
Core Idea: Does the page look like it might need to call on stored data?
There exist some SQLi polyglots, i.e (Mathias Karlsson);
SLEEP(1) /*‘ or SLEEP(1) or ‘“ or SLEEP(1) or “*/
Works in single quote context, works in double quote context, works in “straight into query” context!
You can also leverage the large database of fuzzlists from Seclists (https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists)
##SQL Injection Observations Blind is predominant, Error based is highly unlikely.
‘%2Bbenchmark(3200,SHA1(1))%2B’
‘+BENCHMARK(40000000,SHA1(1337))+’
SQLMap is king!
- Use -l to parse a Burp log file.
- Use Tamper Scripts for blacklists.
- SQLiPy Burp plugin works well to instrument SQLmap quickly. Lots of injection in web services!

Best Over-Ear Headphones in 2019
by Peter CaoBest Over-Ear Headphones Android Central 2019
Over-ear headphones may not be as popular as they once were but they still have a place in the market. They're great for when you want the best sound quality you can possibly get from a headphone. Portable, and especially wireless (Bluetooth) headphones have exploded over the past decade and that's why the Sony WH-1000XM3 have taken our top spot as the best overall headphone you can buy right now.
- Best Overall: Sony WH-1000XM3
- Best Open-Back: Sennheiser HD600/650
- Best Value: Mixcder E9 Wireless
- Best Wireless: Nuraphones by Nura
- Best Sound: Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3
- Best Budget Wireless: Tribit XFree Tune
- Best Budget Noise Canceling: Mpow H10
- Best Budget Open-Back: Philips SHP9500
- Best Planar Magnetic: HiFiMan Ananda
Best Overall: Sony WH-1000XM3
No surprise here. Sony still remains king of active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones, and Bluetooth headphones in general, with its WH-1000XM3. Not only does it have class-leading ANC, it tries to shove every possible feature you might want in a headphone into it while still retaining a great 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. When the WH-1000XM3 are dead, you can plug the included USB-C cable in and get a quick charge. Ten minutes of charge nets you five hours of listening time. Unfortunately, during that time you wont be able to actually use your headphones.
Sound quality is decent out of the box if you're a fan of a bass-heavy, dark sound signature. However, that won't really matter much as the companion smartphone (available on both Android and iOS) can adjust this.
You can also enable an ambient sound mode by using your palm to cover the right ear cup.  Arguably this could be implemented better since holding your hand over the right ear cup for more than 15 seconds can get fatiguing, fast.
The WH-1000XM3 are also comfortable. It's not optimal (personally I get a pain on the crown of my head after several hours), but definitely better than most other headphones I've tried. The ear cups and headband are super soft.
Pros:
- Great battery life
- Customizable sound
- Solid comfortable
- Ambient sound mode
- Great app for both iOS and Android
Cons:
- Can't charge and listen simultaneously
- Ambient sound mode implementation could be better
Best Overall
Sony WH-1000XM3
Class-leading wireless ANCs
These are the best ANC headphone on the market. The WH-1000XM3 pack a strong punch that is currently unmatched.
Best Open-Back: Sennheiser HD600/650
Without a doubt if you're looking for the best over-ear headphones around, you'll want to check out the open-back Sennheiser HD600 or HD650. They're both similar in form factor, with the only real differentiator being in the slightly tweaked sound signature.
Let's first discuss comfort. Both these headphones are probably the most comfortable headphone on the market. The ear cups and headband feel like absolute pillows — no complaints when it comes to comfort or fatigue. Since they're open-back you don't have to worry about your ear getting warm.
If I had to have a gold standard for sound quality, the HD600 take the cake. The soundstage is super wide thanks to the open-back design. The low-bass is a bit lacking due to its open-back nature but still has a recessed presence. Mid- and upper-bass, along with the mid-range and treble, is super smooth and neutral. Nothing is elevated or overpowering. The HD650 is a slightly different story as it brings that low-bass in and punches much harder than the HD600. Otherwise, it's the same exact sound signature.
There are two major downsides two the HD600 and HD650. The open-back design means your audio will leak no matter what environment you're in, so, you'll probably want to use them at home. The other major downside is both these headphones require an amp to get the most out of them. You can try plugging them into your phone but you'll most likely need to max out the volume to even get any sort of sound out of them. Fortunately, the HD600 and HD650 don't need that much amplification so most if not all amps will work. Also, they use a proprietary cable on the headphone end. Fortunately, the cable is detachable and Sennheiser seems to be pretty good at keeping the cable in stock.
Pros:
- Great sound quality
- Super comfortable
- Excellent soundstage
Cons:
- Sound leakage
- Requires an amp
- Proprietary cable
Best Open-Back
Sennheiser HD600/650
Comfy excellent sound
Open-back headphones are the way to go if you're looking for the best at-home audio. The Sennheiser HD600/650 don't disappoint.
Best Value: Mixcder E9 Wireless
If you're looking for the best bang for your buck, look no further than the Mixcder E9 Wireless. First and foremost, comfort on the E9 Wireless are superb. The ear cup and headband design resemble the Bose QC35 IIs quite a bit and this means in terms of comfort the E9 Wireless are only a smidge worse than the QC35 IIs.
In terms of sound, the E9 performs quite well here, especially for the price. The bass, and midrange response is flat and neutral, while the low-treble is only slightly recessed while the rest of the sound signature is equally as flat and neutral.
Battery life is equally as great with up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge with ANC enabled. The headphones charge over Micro-USB, and the ANC feature can be used even when wired, which is a bonus. The ANC performance on the E9 Wireless is okay at best. It does a great job at reducing sound all across the board but doesn't particularly block out any one sound. For example, it'll reduce the sound of an engine but you'll still be able to hear it.
Pros:
- Excellent comfort
- Good ANC performance
- Superb sound
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Micro-USB for charging
Best Value
Mixcder E9 Wireless
Superb sound and comfort
For its price, the E9 Wireless from Mixcder is an absolute steal with great comfort, sound and battery life.
Best Wireless: Nuraphones by Nura
First and foremost, the Nuraphones use medical-grade sensors to measure how you perceive sound. During the setup process, they play an assortment of sounds, which helps to measure how your ears are responding to the sounds by recording feedback from your ear that are 100x lower than what most humans can hear.
Aside from the super awesome personalization features, the Nuraphones are both an over-ear and in-ear headphone. The over-ear portion is used to produce bass, while the in-ear portion is used to play everything else. This allows the Nuraphones to have a super wide soundstage despite being a closed-back headphone.
The app gives you a handful of other customization features beyond analyzing your ears. There's an immersion mode slider which is an over-glorified bass low-bass booster. It increases the amount of thump and rumble in your bass, and due to the in-ear/over-ear design (Inova as Nura calls it), this won't cause any distortion in your music. Battery life is good. The official number is "more than 20 hours" but I've been able to get 30-35 hours on a single charge in my testing.
There are some downside to the Nuraphones, however. First and foremost, there's no on/off switch. The headphone uses a sensor in the right ear cup to detect whether or not they're on your ears. This introduces a strange problem where the headphone takes several seconds to wake up and connect, sometimes up to 6-8 seconds. The reverse is true as well. When you're done with the Nuraphones, they take up to a minute to power off.
Pros:
- Great sound quality
- Medical-grade hearing sensing & test
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Can be uncomfortable for some
- Proprietary port for wired listening
- Slow to wake/sleep
Best Wireless
Nuraphones by Nura
Truly innovative tunes
A solid first attempt from Nura. The Nuraphones have a lot to offer but some minor annoyances can be dealbreakers for some.
Best Sound: Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3
The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 offers some of the best sound in a Bluetooth headphone to date. While it doesn't compare to any wired options, the Momentum Wireless 3 feature boosted bass overall, a slightly recessed but flat midrange, and a neutral treble overall. Soundstage is excellent for a closed-back Bluetooth headphone, and dynamic range is equally as great.
Comfort is pretty good here too with big, soft ear cups, and an equally as soft headband. The ear cups are attached to a sliding mechanism on each side of the headphone and extend far enough to that even people with big heads will fit them just fine. You won't have an issue with discomfort or fatiguing and you'll easily be able to wear them for extended periods of time.
The biggest weakness of the Momentum Wireless 3 is its battery life. The headphone is only capable of up to 17 hours on a single charge with ANC enabled. This is much less than even the Bose Noise Canceling Headphones 700 which get up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge, and much less than the Sony WH-1000XM3 which feature 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. Fortunately, the Momentum Wireless 3 charge over USB-C, however they do not feature fast charging of any sort. This means you'll be waiting around 2 hours for them to charge it the headphone dies at all.
ANC performance is superb. It's not on the level of the Sony WH-1000XM3, but it's good enough. If we had to rank headphones by ANC performance, the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 would comfortably be in third place behind the WH-1000XM3 and Bose NCH 700s.
Pros:
- Great, bass-boosted sound
- Excellent comfort
- USB-C charging
- Superb ANC performance
Cons:
- Battery life could be longer
- No fast charging capabilities
Best Sound
Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3
Super comfy
Comfortable headphones with great ANC and sound. It's only downside is battery life performance.
Best Budget Wireless: Tribit XFree Tune
Want wireless headphones with really long battery life? The Tribit XFree Tune are the right headphones for you. They last up to 40 hours on a single charge, which will get most people through the week. Sure, they charge over Micro-USB, which is outdated at this point, but this isn't a huge deal if you have a ton of older gadgets around.
In terms of sound quality, the XFree Tune perform well. The bass is elevated but isn't too overwhelming. The mid-range is neutral and smooth, and the treble has an emphasis, making some tracks sound overly bright. The sound can be defined as V-shaped, which some may like over a completely flat and neutral sound.
For comfort, the XFree Tune are excellent. There's no ear fatigue and the headphones are relatively light, so there shouldn't be any issues with the headband crushing your head. The ear cups and headband are made out of leather as well, which gives you a nice cushion.
Pros:
- V-shaped, fun sound
- Good comfort
- Strong battery life
Cons:
- Micro-USB for charging
Best Budget Wireless
Tribit XFree Tune
They last basically forever
You get excellent sound and great comfort for ridiculously long listening sessions at a low price.
Best Budget Noise Canceling: Mpow H10
The Mpow H10 are definitely the best budget pair of wireless over-ear headphones around, especially for its price.
In terms of sound quality, the H10 are above-average. The bass overall is flat and neutral. It's not over- or under-emphasized, nor is there too much or too little boomy-ness. The mid-range is great, only being slightly recessed in the mid-mids while the lower- and upper-mids are neutral and flat. The treble is okay as well. They may sound sibilant, piercing, and sharp for some users.
Battery life is excellent with up to 30 hours of usage on a single charge. Usually, headphones at this price range get somewhere between 10-15 hours of usage on a single charge, and this is with ANC enabled. Yes, the Mpow H10 have ANC and, fortunately, the ANC doesn't effect the sound quality in any major way so you can just keep it on 24/7. The ANC itself is good for its price — great for commutes and office environments, although it struggles quite a bit while flying.
Comfort is surprisingly good here, too. There are no issues with fatigue, pain, or any sort of soreness over several hours of usage. The ear cups use a pleather material, which is fine, and the rest of the headphone is made of a mostly plastic design, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The plastic allows the H10 to be super light which makes them even more comfortable.
Pros:
- Great battery life
- Comfortable and light
- Solid ANC
- Above average sound quality
Cons:
- Sound is a bit sharp
- ANC while flying could use improvement
Best Budget Noise Canceling
Mpow H10
Inexpensive tunes
For the price, the Mpow H10 are unbeatable thanks to its great comfort, battery life, and ANC.
Best Budget Open-Back: Philips SHP9500
Open-back headphones are great for at-home use, but just because you only use them at home doesn't mean they have to be expensive. Enter the Philips SHP9500, a budget-friendly set of open-back headphones that make almost no compromises.
Comfort wise, the ear cups and headband are large enough for most ears and heads. You won't have any issues with comfort, fatigue, or your ears getting warm thanks to the open-back design. Of course, it's wired so need to worry about Bluetooth audio codecs or charging. The included cable is detachable and thankfully Philips uses a standard 3.5mm jack so you can plug in any 3.5mm cable and it'll work (including ones with microphones).
Sound quality is excellent as expected. You wont need an amp due to its lower ohm-impedance, but having an amp will make them sound better. The overall sound is really good with a basically neutral sound signature with little modifications here and there that most people won't here. And because it's an open-back headphone, the soundstage is super wide.
Obviously, some of the downsides are the same downsides you could mention with any open-back headphone. They're designed to be used at home, in a quiet environment. They also leak sound like crazy by design. On the bright side? You don't need an ambient sound mode because you'll hear it no matter what.
Pros:
- Excellent sound quality
- Wide soundstage
- Great comfort
Cons:
- Sound leakage
- Meant to be used at home
- Wired only
Best Budget Open-Back
Philips SHP9500
Critical listening on a budget
Budget headphones don't have to be bad. The Philips SHP9500 is a great example of that with excellent sound and soundstage.
Best Planar Magnetic: HiFiMan Ananda
Most headphones available on the market use dynamic drivers and that's for good reason. They're easy to manufacture, sound good, and can be used in anything as small as truly wireless earbuds up to large stadium speakers. However, there are other driver types out there, including planar magnetic. This is where the HiFiMan Ananda comes in — a set of planar magnetic headphones meant for people who care deeply about sound quality.
The sound quality here is good. The bass is neutral and flat, while the mids are relatively even with some marginal dips and elevation below and above neutral, respectively. The treble is where they fall short. The treble is fairly uneven with big dips and elevation throughout the entire range making the treble sound a bit odd. This is normal for planar magnetic headphones since they're typically great at reproducing bass and mids but suffer quite substantially with treble.
Comfort is decent. The ear cups and headband are fairly large. If you have a smaller head, the ear cups may actually extend past your jaw making them super uncomfortable for smaller headed people. Aside from the ear cups, the headphones themselves are fairly heavy thanks to the planar magnetic driver.
Surprisingly, the Ananda doesn't require any sort of amplification. In fact, the company promotes the idea of using them with your mobile device. This is thanks to the 25 impedance, which is relatively low. You probably won't want to use these much in public though as they are open-back and leak sound.
Pros:
- Good sound quality
- Big ear cups
- No amp required
Cons:
- Heavy
- Ear cups may be too big for some
- Treble response isn't the greatest
Best Planar Magnetic
HiFiMan Ananda
Planar at its finest
Planar makes your headphones substantially heavier. If you can get over that, the HiFiMan Ananda deserves your attention.
Bottom line
Over-ear headphones are getting smaller, more compact, and wireless. If that's what you're looking for, look no further than the Sony WH-1000XM3, which are the pinnacle of wireless headphone innovation. Stand out features include great portability for an over-ear headphone, excellent comfort, and ridiculously long battery life at 30 hours.
The WH-1000XM3 also currently offers the best active noise cancelation (ANC) performance of any headphone by a mile. If you need ANC headphones, go with the WH-1000XM3. However, the biggest downside with them is that you can't charge and listen to them at the same time. Yes, they do feature quick charging, but as soon as you plug them in to charge, audio playback gets disabled whether you were listening over Bluetooth or through the 3.5mm connection.
How to choose the best over-ear headphones
While many people are ditching their over-ear headphones for more portable ones, they still play an important role in the headphone market, especially if you care about sound quality or soundstage. You have to consider comfort as well.
Of course, there's also impedance. While it's not that important when it comes to portable or wireless headphones, it's absolutely crucial when looking at high-end headphones. This is amplified when looking at open-back headphones.
Sound Quality
I'm going to be honest here. If the sound quality wasn't great, headphones wouldn't have made our list, period. The number one thing that attracts people to over-ear headphones is sound quality. Nobody would knowingly choose to use over-ear headphones that sound like garbage. While we have a numerical list here, all of them sound really good and you can't go wrong with any of them.
Our top three picks, the Sennheiser HD600, Philips SHP9500, and the HiFiMan Ananda, are all solid for those who want the most accurate sound you can get. All three sets can essentially replicate neutral sound without much issue and if there are any inconsistencies can easily be EQ'd to fix any minor variations in sound.
Best active over-ear headphones, ranked by sound quality
- Sennheiser HD600
- Philips SHP9500
- HiFiMan Ananda
- Mixcder E9 Wireless
- Nuraphones by Nura
Comfort
Comfort is easily the second most important thing when it comes to over-ear headphones. If they're not comfortable and you can't wear them for long periods of time, why have them in the first place?
Easily the number one pick for over-ear headphone comfort are the Sennheiser HD600/650.  The clamping force isn't too strong so they don't add a ton of pressure on your head either.
The next best is, unsurprisingly, the Sony WH-1000XM3. While not as comfortable as the HD600 or the HD650, they're comfortable enough and that's super important in the case that you need to use them for extended periods of time, perhaps while flying. When it comes to traveling, you'd want the most comfortable headphones you can find.
Best over-ear headphones, ranked by comfort
- Sennheiser HD600/650
- Sony WH-1000XM3
- Philips SHP9500
- Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3
- Mixcder E9 Wireless
Impedance
In an attempt to not get overly technical, impedance indicates how much power and sound a headphone may require. The higher the impedance, the more power your headphone requires and the more likely you'll need an amp. Generally speaking, the lower the impedance the better.
The magical number for mobile devices is typically 32 or lower. Anything higher means you'll probably need an amp of some sort to drive your headphones. That number isn't universal, however, as smartphones such as the LG V30 can theoretically drive headphones with an impedance of roughly 600.
It's not like plugging in high-impedance headphones into a low-impedance device will result in no sound, either. That combination will likely work. However, you'll likely need to max out your phone's volume level to get some sound out of it, if at all.
To nobody's surprise the Mpow H10 are our top pick in this regard. They're relatively inexpensive headphones designed for portable use. The Sony WH-1000XM3, Nuraphones By Nura, Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 and Mixcder E9 Wireless are our next obvious choices since they were all designed for wireless use.
And while the Philips SHP9500 are not on the list, they are worth mentioning as they have a relatively low impedance despite being an open-back headphone. The SHP9500 are one of the few open-back headphones that you can simply just plug into your smartphone and listen without an amplifier.

My purgatory for watching "Godzilla" -- and dragging friends along with me -- has come to an end this week. Not only did I see the wacky French existentialist film with two minutes of motorcycle action and rioting poets this past weekend ("Orpheus"), I also watched one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long, long time, "Something About Mary." We'll ignore "Armageddon"-as-comedy.
"Something About Mary" is a great screwball romantic comedy starring Matt Dillon, Ben Stiller, Chris Elliot and, as the luminescent Mary, Cameron Diaz. The film opens in high school, early 1980s, with an awfully nerdy Ted (Ben Stiller) -- bad hair, thick-rimmed glasses, braced teeth and all -- about to go to the prom with Mary. Mary is a pure vision of light and beauty, able to bestow grace on this corrupt old world by her mere presence. Ted, at her house to pick her up for the prom, uses the bathroom and has an accident with his tuxedo zipper. It's a shocking accident, making even hardened cops and firemen wince when seeing it: "How did you manage to close the zipper?" While this gag is drawn out for an amazingly long time, it maintains its effect. In any case, it's only two weeks in the hospital for Ted, but no prom with Mary; she moves away the next month.
Thirteen years later, Ted still thinks about Mary, and hires Pat, played by Matt Dillon, a part time private investigator, to find her in Miami. He does, but is utterly smitten with her. Pat lies to Ted, describing Mary as 250lbs of paraplegic trailer trash, then moves to Miami, where he creates a false identity for himself, haphazardly constructed from eavesdropping on Mary and her friends, as they talk about what they're looking for in men: a worldly architect, with ties to Nepal, able to be kind to Mary's mentally challenged brother, Warren. In the meantime, Ted realizes that he's been lied to, and heads down to Florida to see Mary.
Yes, the stalking themes are blatant in this movie (though, you know, with the Web, we have things like the Cameron Diaz Internet Shrine, http://www.geocities.com/~camerondiaz/shrine.html).  The Farrelly Brothers, who wrote and directed the film -- they also did "Dumb and Dumber" and "King Pins", but don't hold it against them -- basically string a series of very funny episodes into the story, some pushing the boundaries of good taste. 1990s Woody Allen this ain't. Some are wonderful, almost wordless set pieces of physical comedy, true ROTFL material. They have their timing dead on, and the cast is wonderful. Ben Stiller makes you care about Ted (I had braces, bad hair in high school), and Cameron Diaz makes Mary into a vision. I've actually only seen her in "The Mask" before, but she's fantastic.
Thinking a bit about Ben Stiller, this is a better film than "Flirting With Disaster", with him, Patricia Arquette and Tea Leoni. Not quite the semi-serious theme of questing for one's identity, one's roots -- "Mary" is pure romantic comedy after all -- but just funnier. The Farrelly's take more liberties with reality, coming up with more bizarre scenarios as the film goes on, and they get away with it.
Oh, part of the film was filmed in Providence, RI. The Farrelly Brothers are apparently from there. I actually thought some of the scenes were at Harvard Square, but what do I know? Brown U. folks may be pleased.
Since this was part of that film class thing, there were interviews. Actually, two of them, before and after the movie. Before the movie, we had Steve Buscemi, talking a bit about "Armageddon", and then Ben Stiller. I was hoping for Cameron Diaz, but, alas.
Buscemi was talking about the casting process for "Armageddon": they had the Rockhound role sort of ready for him, and, after he signed on, tailored it to be a Buscemi character. He said he signed the day after buying a Brooklyn brownstone. Other trivia included talking about the premiere party at NASA, Cape Canaveral, where they got Aerosmith to perform. This party probably cost much more than "Tree's Lounge". As he noted, big films have certain perks, like meeting astronauts and walking underneath the space shuttle as it was being prepped for launch ("Don't touch!"). The "Armageddon" shoot was 6-months, with a lot of his time spent waiting around. This diverged into a brief discussion of how important scheduling is for film making, especially a picture as large as this.  He did informal technical advice for "Dogs". I don't remember what Mr. Blue looks like.
Ben Stiller talked a bit about his career, and a bit about shooting "Mary". The trivia included the dog fight scene. He apparently spent a good part of one day with a fake dog attached to his crotch. When they said, "Action!", he's start spinning around, screaming. When they said, "Cut!", he'd stop, and wait around for the next sequence, still with the dog attached to his crotch. They also had to sing "Buttercup" at the end of every scene: the outtakes from this was used in the end credits. It's a wonderful way to cap off the film.
