Basic Definitions¶
An undirected graph \(G=(V,E)\) is defined by a set of vertices, \(V\), and a set of edges, \(E\), where each edge in \(E\) is an unordered pair of vertices drawn from \(V\).
A weighted undirected graph \(G=(V,E,W)\) is an undirected graph \((V,E)\) with an associated weight function, \(W: E \rightarrow {\mathbb R}_{+}\), that assigns a non-negative real weight to each edge in \(E\).
A labeled weighted undirected graph \(G=(V,E,W, L)\) is a weighted undirected graph \((V,E,W)\) with an associated labeling function, \(L\), that assigns a label to each vertex in \(V\). In GraSPI, we label each vertex by a color.
A path between a source vertex, \(s \in V\), and a target vertex, \(t \in V\) is a sequence \(p=[v_0, v_1, \dots v_i \dots v_k]\) of vertices such that \(v_o=s\), \(v_k=t\) and for each \(i\) from \(0\) to \(i-1\), vertices \(v_i\) and \(v_{i+1}\) are adjacent in \(G\). The length of path \(p\) is \(\sum_{i=0}^{k-1}w(e(v_i,v_{i+1}))\).
A shortest path between a source vertex \(s \in V\) and a target vertex \(t \in V\) is a path between \(s\) and \(t\) that is of the shortest length among all paths between \(s\) and \(t\) in \(G\). The distance between vertices \(s\) and \(t\) in \(G\) is the length of a shortest path between \(s\) and \(t\) in \(G\). If no such path exists, the distance is defined as infinity. Note that the shortest path between a pair of vertices need not be unique, but the distance between them is unique.
A subgraph of \(G\) is a graph \(G' = (V', E')\) such that \(V' \subseteq V\) and \(E' \subseteq E\). A vertex-induced subgraph on vertex set \(V' \subseteq V\) is the maximal subgraph with the vertex set \(V'\).
A graph \(G\) is connected if there is a path between any pair of vertices in \(G\). A connected component \(C\) in \(G\) is a maximal connected subgraph of \(G\).

Currently working at iMinds - Data Science Lab. My current responsibilities consist of R&D-consultancy and Big Data education at Ghent University.
R&D Consultance with Onforce: Ontoforce, a successful startup, develops a product called DisQover which is an exploratory UI on top of a Semantic Search application. Data sources used by DisQover are often Linked Open Datasets in the field of Life Sciences. The IWT project we are conducting together studies the feasibility of distributed querying by extensive benchmarking. We study different approaches for scaling out their infrastructure: scalable RDF triple stores (=graph databases), compression techniques (HDT), federated querying of SPARQL endpoints on the Web and classic Big Data tools such as Impala, SparkSQL and Hadoop.
Big Data Science Trainer: In 2015 I authored the Ugent Big Data Science course which consists of 10 theory sessions (2.5 hours) and 8 hands-on sessions. February 2016 - June was the first test run of the course which received positive feedback of the Computer Science Master students. The theory sessions cover:

Can't Buy
England is suffering a catastrophic housing crisis that has been more than a generation in the making. The number of new homes built each year is not nearly enough – to keep pace with demand we need around 245,000 homes per year in England but manage to build only around half of this. At current house building rates London will face a shortfall of over 700,000 homes by 2031. Rising house prices and rents are spiralling out of control as demand outstrips supply causing housing to become unaffordable for most people in normal jobs.
Only the wealthiest of the next generation will be able to buy a home if current trends continue, first-time buyers now have to pay, in real terms, ten times the deposit needed in the early 1980s.
- First-time buyers have an average income of £36,500, compared to the average salary for first-time buyers in the 1980s of £20,000.
- A first-time buyer has to borrow 3.4 times their annual income on average, compared to first time buyers in 1979 who needed to borrow just 1.7 times their income.
- Two thirds of first-time buyers receive financial help from parents – a figure that has doubled in five years.
For the majority of young people, and their parents, the housing issue must be causing unimaginable stress and demoralisation. The picture does look extremely bleak for young people trying to achieve what their parents or grandparents did, owning a secure home to raise a family.
Rent Traps
A rising number of people are now private renters and face unexpected rising costs. Over the last 15 years, the number of people who rent their home from a landlord has almost doubled to 8.5m people, and nearly a third of renters are families with children. On average, homeowners with a mortgage spend 20% of their income on paying that mortgage, however, private renters spend 40% of their income on rent. As younger people are significantly more likely to be affected by this imbalance this makes saving for a deposit harder. Young people - Since 2001, the proportion of homes rented privately has rocketed by 69 per cent. As more and more households are forced into private renting, increased demand will put greater pressure on the rental market. This will push up prices and drive down conditions – leaving renters even worse off. Younger people whose parents can’t help financially, can find themselves stuck living in their childhood bedrooms or paying high private rents that make it almost impossible to save for a deposit.
As well as impacting on day to-day living, high housing costs also increase the benefit bill. The number of people who claim housing benefit but are also in employment has doubled over the last six years. Increasingly, people’s earnings do not cover all living costs and so they need assistance Government assistance - The proportion of those claiming housing benefit who are in employment has doubled from 11% in November 2008 to 22.5% in February 2014. The total housing benefit bill in England – accounting for inflation – has risen by almost 150% from £8.7bn to £21.5bn in 21 years. from the Government and the taxpayer
According to Shelter, one in five families in England now rents privately, unlike renting in the social housing sector, most private rental properties are let out at market rates, meaning they are likely to be more expensive. They’re also likely to be let out on short term contracts of 6-12 months, with the landlord able to evict a tenant with only two month's notice.
- Private renters are disproportionately represented in those who come to Shelter for housing advice
- Over a third of private rented homes fail to meet the Decent Homes Standard
- In 1 in 4 areas, rents increased by an average of £300 a year in 2012
- There were more than 85,000 complaints about rogue landlords in 2012.
Children are living in Victorian conditions, Victorian conditions, - Teaching union’s survey finds children are turning up to school sick because parents cannot afford to take time off and sometimes without socks or a coat, 69% of teachers reported seeing children come to school hungry. say teachers, The findings give an indication of the impact of difficult financial circumstances on both children Child poverty - 32% of those polled saying they had seen pupils who arrived or left school halfway through a term because they were forced to leave their homes, the same proportion reported teaching children who were living in temporary accommodation and 22% said they knew of youngsters who had lost their homes due to money pressures. and teachers. Teacher poverty - The National Union of Teachers also found that young teachers are having to share bedrooms and struggle to afford mortgages because of low pay. Children need good, well-motivated teachers and the trust that this needs is being destroyed. It’s worrying how desperate the situation is becoming and how ineffective the politicians are when it’s left to the comedian Russell Brand to stand up against this gentrification Gentrification - He and other campaigners brought it to media attention and were thankfully successful in stopping US investors plans to evict families and more than double their rents. process taking place in London.
Solutions
Solution 1 - Redistribute Empty BedroomsThere are an estimated 15m empty bedrooms Empty bedrooms - "We have enough housing for every family to have a spare room, but not for so many to have spare homes also. In this sector, around half of all bedrooms are not slept in each night" in owner occupied properties in England. Need to come up with a solution to fix this inefficiency. One recent government scheme to free up some housing space was the bedroom tax, the idea was to punish people in social housing who had spare rooms so they would move to a house size which they are suited for. The execution of the plan was ill thought out. For example - A parent and child living in a 2 bedroom council house in Salford, if the child was to ever move out the parent would have to pay an extra £518 a year until they moved to a 1 bedroom house. 7,000 people in Salford are on the housing waiting list for a one-bedroom property, the city has 8,000 one-bedroom homes – all occupied.
A National Housing Federation survey Bedroom Tax - “The bedroom tax is trapping many people in homes they can no longer afford and where they are struggling to pay their rents. It is unfair, badly designed, and must be repealed.” of 51 housing associations which showed that 51% of households affected by the bedroom tax were unable to pay their rent between April and June. We need better solutions to this bedroom efficiency problem. If you could get someone like Elon Musk in to government, with his engineering mind which vastly reduced the cost of rockets, designed efficient state of the art factories or created conceptions for futuristic hyperloops, Musk has his mind set on travelling to Mars, is the bedroom distribution more complex than that? If we had someone as ambitious and intelligent as Musk working on our inefficient housing distribution problems I have no doubt they would come up with a good solution.
Solution 2 - Regulate the private rented sector
As home ownership becomes more unavailable we should try and move to a
housing market in other countries like in
Germany,
German Rented Sector -
A staggering 60% of housing in Germany is private rented
(compared to about 17-18% in the UK). Renting is seen as a
normal alternative to home ownership, house-prices in Germany
have been declining for around 30 years now.
where people are more content to rent privately.
Renters in England
want
Renters wants -
Two thirds of renters would like to have the option of staying in their tenancy longer term
- Four in five would like to know their rent cannot be increased above a certain level
- Two thirds would like to decorate their home without fear of what their landlord will say.
predictable rents, stability and a place to call home.
Option 1: Develop and promote the
Stable Rental Contract
Stable Rental Contract -
Give renters five years in their home during which they could not be evicted without a good reason
- Allow landlords to increase rents annually by a maximum of CPI during the five years
- Give renters the chance to decorate their home as long as they return it to neutral afterwards
- Allow renters to give two months notice to end the tenancy
Option 2: A stronger economic
imperative
Imperative -
Offer incentives so that if landlords offered Stable Rental Contracts,
they would avoid the certainty of additional income tax. In the long term,
they would have the prospect of a bigger capital gain. Changes in the rate
of tax have the advantage of being very transparent, which should increase
their incentive effect, and are relatively easy to administer.
for landlords
Option 3: Make longer tenancies the legal default,
short-term
Short-term Renting -
Landlords, institutional investors and lenders generally have a sound business
interest in tenancies that last for the longer term, as they benefit from
secure income streams that account for inflation, and avoid the costs and
management demands of high turnover.
renting is bad for landlords and renters
Renting should offer landlords and renters a balance of stability and
flexibility, as it does in other countries.
Government and the industry must work to bring the Stable Rental Contract
to market to improve private renting.
Solution 3 - Build, Build and BUILD!
For decades after World War Two Housing shortage - There was a shortage of housing in Britain after World War Two. Many houses had been destroyed by bombing. Large numbers of slums remained a problem. The birth rate had risen after the war had ended and families required homes. 1 4 new towns were planned in the 1940s and another 14 built in the 1960s. the UK used to build more than 300,000 new homes a year. In 2012-13, the UK hit a post-war of 135,500 homes. If the younger generations can never hope to buy then the government needs to replicate what they did after the war and buy up land and use it to create mass affordable social housing as well as encouraging more private builders to build rent regulated homes. The economic impact of housing associations is large, for every one pound invested in affordable housing, a further £1.42 is generated in the UK economy through indirect and induced multiplier impacts. Brown field sites need to be developed on and green field need to be considered. Green Belt - "The ideal solution would be to get rid of the green belt classification, if we were to just take the agricultural land within 10 minutes walk of a London metropolitan railway station you could still fit 1 millions houses, 1 million houses are all the houses we need for the next decade and it would still leave 97.5% to the greenbelt untouched."
Some technology is available to help speed up and reduce costs in construction. The impact of automation is already being used on construction sites by using prefabricated Prefabricated - Whole modules of bathrooms and kitchens are being prefabricated in China and actually lifted in as positioned, so they're pre-plumbed, pre-wired - 30 storeys go up in 15 days and they can only do that due to the offsite prefabrication, which often involves a whole heap of different techniques that haven't been seen in construction before. modules. A company in China are using 3D printers to create housing. They claim to be able to print 10 houses in 24 hours, The company have also used their 3D printing technology to build a five-storey apartment building. Their construction method Construction - This process saves between 30 and 60 percent of construction waste, and can decrease production times by between 50 and 70 percent, and labour costs by between 50 and 80 percent. And, using recycled materials in this way, the buildings decrease the need for quarried stone and other materials is both environmentally forward and cost effective. In time, the company hopes to use its technology on much larger scale constructions, such as bridges and even skyscrapers. There are also new design and building tools such as Microsoft's Hololens which can make the building houses more efficient.
England is a small crowded island with limited land, the population density of England was 413 people per sq km in 2013. England is not unique Population Density - Other developed countries have similar amounts of population per square km, Japan’s is 349, Belgium’s 370, Netherlands 498, South Korea is at 516 and at the extreme Macau which density is at 18,942 , have to look to other crowded countries and see how they are managed and learn from them.
Solution 4 - Tax
- Implement a Housing Tax Housing Tax - Need to properly tax housing, tax expensive housing and people with multiple homes, encourage people who are hoarding very large housing to give it up on expensive homes
- Apply a Capital Gains Capital Gains - The tax incentives that landlords and property investors are given to buy in Britain must urgently be reduced to stop the market overheating. Tax on oversea buyers.
- Abolish Tax relief's Tax relief's - Landlords benefit from a complex and wide range of tax reliefs which encourage them to buy more properties and force prices up. If these incentives were phased out and new loopholes blocked, that would dampen demand from those wanting to make a quick buck from housing. Property prices in the capital are so high because landlords have become so desperate to buy there. for Landlords.
- Tax Land Tax Land - 160,000 families, 0.3% of the population, own 37 million acres, two thirds of Britain, 230 acres each. Just 1,252 of them own 57% of Scotland. They pay no land tax. Too many people just sitting on land, not building on it, just allowing it to increase in price.
- Reduce Wealth and Income Inequality Inequality - Prevent only the super wealthy being able to afford housing. Reducing the share of total UK income going to the richest 1% to Dutch or Danish levels & sharing the difference across the rest of the population would be worth an extra £2,500 a year to every household
Taxpayers need to be aware, understand and be able to vote on what their money is going towards. The Budget’s purpose and plans need to be more transparent and explained at local and regional levels. People should be able to have democratic votes on budget decisions and policies. Too often decisions are made that may not in the public's best interest and are gone ahead without a public vote, e.g. £30bn Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, War Cost's - 'Costly failures': Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost UK taxpayers £30bn £30bn would pay for 1,464,000 more NHS nurses, 408,000 NHS consultants, 75% of the HS2 budget £850bn Bank Bailout, Bailout - National Audit Office said that we spent £850 billion on the bank crises in 2009. The eventual cost to taxpayers will not be known for years University fee’s tripling Student debt - The decision to bring in a real, above-inflation interest rate on student loans means that almost half (45%) of graduates will pay back more than they borrowed in real terms. "We estimate that students will leave university with nearly £20,000 more debt, on average, in 2014 prices (£44,035 under the new system compared with £24,754 under the old system). in price, 120bn Trident Trident - The decision to go ahead with Trident, the Nuclear Missile Defence project, which could cost £120bn, the same amount of money could be used to build 2 million new social homes.
This has caused a mass disillusionment in politics for many people. There is no real feeling of actual democracy, more like a dictatorship ruler or a feudal king making decisions. Have to do an electoral reform and get rid of first past the post voting because it is terrible The Government needs to adopt a better voting system such as Single Transferable Vote instead, this will get rid of tactical voting or the feeling that your vote is wasted on picking unlikely candidates. This is a much fairer and truer democratic way of voting.
Big business and corporations need to have less of an influence on politics. Just 76 people accounted for 41% of all individual and corporate donations Money in Politics - The first Sunday Times Political Rich List, published this weekend, found that 25 individuals had given more than £1 million each, accounting for 28% of £174.4 million donated in private and corporate cash between 2010 and 2014. made to the political parties and other political causes in Britain over the past five years By having a more democratised, more responsive, progressive government and more politically active population, decisions which affect the majority will be taken more seriously, the government will stop working just for the rich. This could allow more pressure on parliament to regulate private rent or to build more affordable housing.
Solution 6 - Improve Public Transport and InfrastructureBetter and more affordable public transport would make people’s commute time to their jobs faster and cheaper. More people using public transport would get more cars of the road, this could be reduced further by implementing policies such as ridesharing incentives, congestion charges, safer cycling options, park and ride schemes and staggered work times. These are just a few of the many ways to try and decrease traffic and commute time. Invest in improving and building more travel infrastructure like guided bus routes or tram lines and nationalise Railways - The trains being privatised has already caused prices to rise faster than inflation Many season ticket holders will find the increase to be greater than their annual pay rise. trains isn't a solution. According to the group, many commuters will pay 20-25% more for their season tickets in 2014 than in 2010. the railways to reduce train fares and to encourage more adoption of public transport.
Install new technology such as London's fast contactless pay regionally so buses spend less time idle, introduce tracking technology, like on Uber cars, onto public transport so people can plan when they leave and spend less time waiting and wondering when the bus/tram/train will arrive. With better services and fast commute times this might make it more acceptable for people to live further from city centers which is generally cheaper and would allow for more housing to built further from the centre.
Hopefully self driving cars are not too far away which may ease the long commute times and traffic jams that some people experience. A study found a fleet of shared self-driving cars in Stockholm could reduce rush hour traffic volumes by 14 cars for every shared vehicle and the researchers also found the remaining automobile commuters would need only 20 percent of the metropolitan area's existing parking spaces. This means that some of the land that is used for parking in cities could one day be used to build more housing. Also people will no longer need car garages in homes, can convert this into a bedroom creating more housing space.
Conclusion
It wouldn't be naive to think that with 38% of Conservative MPs graduating from Oxbridge, they would have the brains to at least to slow down this housing crisis but once you realise that 25 percent of MPs are landlords compared to just 2 percent of the population you quickly realise why any of the main political parties are content to watch house prices rise. Recently, the Financial Times revealed that landlords increased their wealth by £434 billion in the last decade.
The biggest problem is that the people who have got houses want their house price to increase, they do not want to see them fall. This may be the biggest hurdle to overcome to see change. But if young people can’t buy and private rent continues on the trend of increasing Private Rent - In the three months to February 2015, average tenant incomes were 7.4% higher than the same period last year. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found household incomes - allowing for inflation - are now 2% lower than they were five years ago. faster than wages, then for the next generation may find it impossible to house themselves.

THE METEOR MAN A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1993 James Berardinelli
Rating (Linear 0 to 10): 3.8
Date Released: 8/6/93 Running Length: 1:39 Rated: PG (Cartoon violence)
Starring: Robert Townsend, Marla Gibbs, Robert Guillaume, James Earl Jones, Luther Vandross, Bill Cosby Director: Robert Townsend Producer: Loretha C. Jones Screenplay: Robert Townsend Music: Cliff Eidelman Released by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer
Jefferson Reed (Robert Townsend) is the meekest of meek school teachers, living in a neighborhood that is rapidly being overrun by the Golden Lords, a drug-dealing and violence-loving gang. One night, however, Jefferson has an unexpected rendezvous with a green, glowing meteor. The collision imparts him with a number of superhuman powers, including the ability to see through solid objects, move with lightning-quick speed, and (of course) fly. The problem is that Jefferson's basic personality is the same. He's a reluctant superhero, not wanting the job of cleaning up the neighborhood. But as word gets out about "Meteor Man", the Golden Lords intend to make sure that he doesn't have a choice in the matter.
THE METEOR MAN is a mostly-unsatisfying film that can't decide whether it wants to spoof superhero films or join their number. In attempting to walk a fine line between the two alternatives, it succeeds at neither. Actor/director/writer Robert Townsend has invested a lot of effort and energy into this production, but little of it is well-focused. Four editors worked on the film in post-production, and the final offering has the confused, choppy look of something put together by a committee.
There's a message behind the silliness--you don't have to be a superhero to stand up against the drug lords currently taking over our cities. If decent human beings band together, it doesn't demand someone who can leap buildings to clean up the streets. It's a worthwhile thing for a movie to say, but Townsend gets a little too preachy about it. Subtlety, at least in this case, is not one of THE METEOR MAN's qualities.
Normally in a movie of this kind, you don't worry too much about characterization. However, when Townsend decides to introduce dramatic elements into his story, the film comes to need men and women who are more than comic-book caricatures. They aren't there, however. There isn't anyone in this movie that simulates a real human being. Even Townsend's Jefferson, with by far the greatest screen time of anyone, fails to display more than a couple of carefully-contrived emotions.
Some elements of the storyline are annoying. It's impossible to explain why, after discovering his superpowers, Jefferson doesn't go out immediately and get rid of the bad guys. In fact, his father (played by Robert Guillaume) advises that he do just that. But Jefferson dawdles around while his mother makes him a costume, occasionally knocking off a few token Golden Lords and letting the running time of the film move towards acceptable motion picture levels. The entire manner in which Meteor Man confronts the villains is inexplicable. A battle that should be one-sided and quickly ended turns into a an all-out war with the superhero made into the underdog by a plot contrivance.
There are a few funny scenes in the film, and at least one running gag that works (look at James Earl Jones' always-changing wigs). Towards the end, positioned right in the middle of the climactic battle between Jefferson and the leader of the Golden Lords, is a truly hilarious moment that, despite its odd placement, is worth mentioning. If THE METEOR MAN had boasted more such scenes, it would have been far less tiresome to watch.
No one can deny that Robert Townsend had good intentions when he put THE METEOR MAN together, but the final product doesn't have consistency or coherence. With its positive message and lack of serious violence, this is a reasonable choice for a children's film, but something of a lame offering for adults. There's not enough of any one element--comedy, satire, drama, or action--and the mixture isn't any more palatable than the individual ingredients. THE METEOR MAN is a superhero movie that lacks punch.

The Mummy (1932)
A Film Essay by Mark O'Hara
Visit Online Film Critics Society at http://ofcs.org
Karl Freund's The Mummy is part of the triad of great horror classics of the early 1930's. Along with Frankenstein and Dracula, The Mummy terrified early generations of movie-goers, and parts of it are still terrifying today.
A measure of the film's importance comes from its originality. Screenwriters of this time were not pestered with avoiding so many clichés; so when The Mummy begins at the site of a spooky archaeological dig in Egypt, viewers saw an early treatment of discoveries that had been in the news for decades. It had to be dramatic and scary to watch the mummified guardian Imhotep (Boris Karloff) commence to stir, break his arms free of their bonds, and send into madness one of the archaeologists who had invaded his tomb.
Years pass, and the plot alights on the life of another member of the ill-fated expedition, Sir Joseph Whemple (Arthur Byron). His friend Dr. Muller is concerned that a young woman, Helen Grosvenor (Zita Johann), is in danger of being controlled by a tall, thin, mysterious Egyptian, who gives the name Ardeth Bey (Karloff). While Helen is in a disturbed state, Frank Whemple is charged with calming her. Quickly the two fall in love. Heightening the tension, Bey begins to pursue Helen, as he is convinced her body holds the reincarnated soul of the Egyptian princess Anckesen-Amon. In an agitated fit of telepathic rage, Bey kills Dr. Muller. Meanwhile, the Whemples are on to Bey, realizing he is Imhotep. What's more horrific is their realization that Bey is invincible - he cannot be defeated without the intervention of the ancient Egyptian gods, the same gods that Imhotep offended so many years before.
The ending of The Mummy is also the forerunner of countless showdowns between mortals and immortals. For its time the special effects are stunning, their power vitiated only by an abrupt cut to the ending credits.
Boris Karloff gets top billing, and rightly so. His body is excellent in its attenuation, his square shoulders giving his character a striking ascetic quality. Somehow we almost believe this man is a living mummy, his face crinkled by the ages. Certainly one of the creepiest shots in the film is a close-up used many times: the fez-wearing Imhotep/Bey glaring wide-eyed to a point just above the camera, in what seems like a still photograph. No music accompanies this shot; it is the character's intense concentration -- and the viewer's knowledge of his evil intentions - that lend the image its terrifying power. Further, Karloff's subtle and masterful body language conveys a manner that takes its time in building menace. The actor's demeanor was doubtless as singular at the time as it is nearly 70 years later: as we listen to his distinguished British lisp, we shiver in mute understanding.
An important issue is raised in the film - the idea that it is wrong for Egyptian artifacts to leave the country of their origin and appear in, say, an English museum. At the time of the film's setting, the laws have been changed and all artifacts remain in the Cairo museum. The filmmakers are to be praised for nodding to this correct method of showcasing history.
Much of the film is slow, particularly when Karloff is offscreen. When his Bey is luring Helen to his side, or disabling her guardians with his lethal mind powers, the tension makes the film very watchable. But the dialogue sags when the men are talking, or even when Frank is romancing Helen. One scene, in which Bey explains to the semi-hypnotized Helen the reason for his cursed state, is riveting. A flashback beginning in a pool of fog, the scene shows Imhotep, in love with the dead princess, trying to revive her body. Caught in his unholy deed, Imhotep is wrapped alive, and placed as a guard to the royal tomb. Many modern viewers would deem the flashback tacky, but it is a risk in narration for which the director should be commended. And the period costumes worn by the ancient Egyptians do lend a corny realism. We feel Imhotep's pain, especially the spasms in the eyes of the expressive Mr. Karloff as the bandages are wrapped about his head.
The sequels to this film are easier to watch. Though they are more Americanized, with the swaddled creature traipsing around, dragging his dusty leg, one arm still trapped in its rotting sling, sometimes an unconscious beauty in his arm, these follow-up films helped to set the patterns used in many "B" horror movies to come. But the simply titled The Mummy was the first, and no matter how many times its themes are remade and re-invoked, its ground-breaking status is beyond question.

Trump to host NATO chief as alliance faces strains
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump will host NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg in Washington at a time of severe strain within the Atlantic alliance, the White House announced Saturday (Nov 9).
The two leaders will discuss NATO allies' "progress on increasing defense spending and ensuring more equitable burden-sharing," the White House statement said.
Trump has been a frequent critic of alliance members, notably Germany, complaining that many have not met their goal of devoting two percent of economic output to defense spending.
Trump and Stoltenberg, who is Norwegian, will also discuss counterterrorism, cyber-security and protecting critical infrastructure.
The Thursday meeting will come a week after NATO came in for cutting criticism from French president Emmanuel Macron, who told The Economist magazine that "what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO."
Macron cited a general lack of coordination between the US and Europe and the recent unilateral incursion by Turkey, a key member of the 70-year-old military alliance, into northern Syria.
"Strategically and politically," Macron said, "we need to recognize that we have a problem."
Macron was speaking ahead of a NATO summit meeting scheduled for December 3 and 4 in London.
But German Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking alongside Stoltenberg in Berlin after the Macron interview came out, defended NATO as "indispensable."
Macron "used drastic words," she said, adding, "that is not my view of cooperation in NATO."
In Washington, the NATO chief will also confer Thursday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and members of Congress, the alliance said.
That same day, he will attend a ministerial-level meeting of a broad international coalition against the Islamic State group.
This session was requested urgently by France after Trump announced he was pulling US troops out of northern Syria, raising fears that the jihadist organization could stage a comeback.

Ant colony optimisation (ACO) is an interesting way to let ants together find a solution for NP-complete problems.
The old descripton (from 2013) follows now. I think, due to the tone of the old description, nobody selected ACO at that time. If you decide to put ACO on your list of preferred topics, I would welcome it very much. Rest assured that in such case I will judge your presentation and the paper, not the topic itself.
Would it not be a nice idea to let ants learn and solve your problem? Proponents of ant colony optimisation (ACO) claim just that. ACO is not really multi-agent learning (ants essentially perform the same task), but it comes close. The reason to include ACO in a MAL seminar is that ACO is a popular topic that appeals to the imagination. Your instructor is rather sceptical about ACO. According to me, ACO boils down to combinatorial optimisation (an established field devoid of ants and agents) pimped with ants and pheromones. The ants are just there to spice things up a bit. Prove that your sceptical teacher is wrong, and show that ACO is about learning and adaptivity, and that ants can't be missed from the picture.

MattN noticed a problem with the WIP patch from bug 469443 applied.
When typing in the search box, sometimes search-suggestion entries would be displayed above the divider (where entries for previous matching searches are).
The problem here is that nsSearchSuggestions.js is passing the wrong previousResult to form history.
Instead of it being the previous form history search result, it's the SuggestAutoCompleteResult result (which contains the union of the form-history and search-suggest entries).
So, when form history refines its results as you time, it can actually add *more* entries as data leaks from the suggestions result into form history result, and it thus looks like the divider is being drawn in the wrong place.
This bug wasn't visible before 469443, because nsFormFillController::StartSearch tries to QI the provided result to a nsIAutoCompleteSimpleResult.
The search-suggestion result is only implements nsIAutoCompletResult (no "Simple"), so the QI fails, historyResult nee previousResult becomes null, and thus Satchel was doing a new search every time.
EG:
1) type "b" in the search field.
2) form history finds 1 entry ("blah"), search-suggestions finds "baaa", "bloop", "bzzz", the autocompete menu shows these in order with a divider between "blah" and "baaa".
3) type an "l" in the search field ("bl")
4) startHistorySearch()'s previous result contains ["blah", "baaa", "bloop", "bzzz"], Satchel filters this down to ["blah", "bloop"] to match the new "bl" search string
5) nsSearchSuggestions's onReadyState() change is called with updated search suggestions, builds up a new list of results, but sees that the form history result now has *two* entries.
Created an attachment (id=380567) [details] Patch v.1 (WIP)
This fixes the problem, but isn't quite correct...
If you type "a<backspace>b", satchel trying to use the results from the "a" search for the "b" search, and so nothing is found.
I suspect nsSearchSuggestions needs to throw away the old form history result when the search string changes like this, but I'm not entirely sure it's responsible for doing so, maybe satchel should be smarter about throwing away a previous result when the previous result's search string doesn't have a common prefix.
[That seems to be handled somewhere else for normal form field entries, oddly enough.]
Created an attachment (id=383211) [details] Patch v.2
Ah. So, there's a ._formHistoryResult in the SuggestAutoCompleteResult wrapper (used to combine form history with search suggestions), and also a ._formHistoryResult in SuggestAutoComplete (the service itself, used to hold onto a form history result until a search suggestion is available).
The simple fix it to just discard the service's form result copy when startSearch() is called with a null previous result.
Otherwise it's trying to use a old form history result that no longer applies for the search string.


[gecode-users] Trace propagation events

Hi all,
Correct me i'm wrong but it seems that at the moment there is no way to
trace propagations events in Gecode...
Could you say me if it is planned for a next release or not ?
If no, could you indicate me how you do for knowing which constraint is
responsible for failure ?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Alexis

I'm a Marketing Manager who thrives on connecting customers to products and services. I recently graduated from Yale School of Management (SOM) with a MBA with a focus on Marketing.
At SOM, I completed a research project with Viacom Labs and the Yale Center for Customer Insights to understand the limits of brand permissibility and how engaging fans through other more highly engaged fans can allow Viacom to connect with their consumers in new ways.
Between my first and second year of SOM, I interned at Jose Andres’ restaurant group, ThinkFoodGroup. At ThinkFoodGroup I developed a digital customer retention campaign for 25 restaurant concepts including a food truck, bar, and 2 Michelin starred restaurant.
Prior to SOM I spent five years consulting for Accenture, focusing on marketing, customer experience, and project management. My project include partnering with the Marketing Director of a midsize telecom company in the midst of a merger to create a 12 month campaign onboarding 6.6M total subscribers and leading the project management for $10M global Salesforce project.

This file contains a simple program for measuring the current consumption of the XMEGA 128A1 on the Xplain board in different sleep modes.
The device cycles through ACTIVE, IDLE, POWER-SAVE and POWER-DOWN modes, spending 8 seconds in each mode.
Note that the device will stay in POWER-DOWN.
The interval timing is done with the RTC and external 32 kHz crystal oscillator as clock source, which should result in less than 1 ľA current consumption.

The main RTC example.
This function initializes the XMEGA to the least power consuming state, before initializing the sleep manager and RTC.
The function waits for gState to change (due to RTC compare ISR), after which an infinite loop is entered in which the device is put to sleep.

Labour standards: Pakistan working to comply with all EU conventions
by APPISLAMABAD: The government’s priority is to improve labour standards in Pakistan and provide a favourable environment at workplaces to enhance the quality of labour force, said Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood.
Speaking at the “Multi-Stakeholder National Consultation on Strategies and Partnership for Improving Coordination and Compliance with GSP Plus Treaties”, the adviser said Pakistan was working on complying with all the 27 conventions laid down by the European Union after signing the GSP Plus trade preference scheme.
Dawood said Pakistan was committed to enforcing labour laws including ending slavery, bonded labour, child labour and gender discrimination in wages in an attempt to improve work environment in the industries.
“Women have an important role in the country’s economy and the government is making efforts to enhance women participation in the industrial workforce and businesses to address capacity issues,” he said.
In the past six months, Dawood said, Pakistan’s exports increased notably in terms of value addition compared to the previous years.
The adviser termed the 27 conventions of the EU an excellent opportunity for Pakistan to implement labour laws in a bid to create a better business environment.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan is concerned about economic growth of the country and he wants conducive business environment,” Dawood remarked. “The 27 conventions will help the country improve conditions for the labour force and provide employment.”
He invited all stakeholders including the labour unions, industrialists and workers to help the government implement all the conventions.
He was optimistic that Pakistan would be successful in complying with the conventions and receive an extension in the GSP Plus status in the near future.
Dawood stressed that Pakistan wanted to extend cooperation with EU countries and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) for improving bilateral ties and steering economic growth of the country.
“We want to work on economic stability and growth for which a better environment for the labour force is a must to achieve the government economic agenda,” he said.

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (SPECIAL EDITION) (1997)
A film review by Walter Frith
Copyright 1997 Walter Frith
It would be ludicrous to tell the world anything about the plot of 'Star Wars'. The 1977 film which won six Academy Awards, the most of any film that year (Sound, Film Editing, Art Direction/Set Decoration, Costume Design, Original Score, and Special Visual Effects) has returned and Special Edition refers not only to its restoration but also its enhancement. What beat it out for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay? 'Annie Hall', Woody Allen for 'Annie Hall', and Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman for 'Annie Hall'. Alec Guinness (who turned down the role of Obi-Won Kenobi several times before Lucas convinced him to take it) was edged out for Best Supporting Actor by Jason Robards for 'Julia'. It actually is the recipient of seven Oscars as a special achievement award for Sound Effects was given to Benjamin Burtt, Jr. for the creation of the alien, creature and robot voices but this was a non-competitive category. George Lucas and 20th Century Fox have invested millions (most reports indicate $10-15 million) to re-mix the original mono soundtrack which originally appeared in the credits in 1977 as D OLBY SYSTEM - making movies sound better for stereo and digital sound at that but the analog mix can still be differentiated from today's technology. Dolby Stereo movies actually hit screens in 1978 with 'Superman' and 'The Deer Hunter' being two classics with that new technology and 'The Deer Hunter' won the Oscar for sound that year. The 'Star Wars' negative has also been cleaned up (although the print that I viewed had some colour contrast problems). It isn't quite twenty years since 'Star Wars' hit the big screen. It actually debuted in May of 1977 but they are doing the right thing by re-releasing it now because from May of 1997 right through to the fall, we will be bombarded with multi-blockbuster hits such as the fourth 'Batman' movie and Steven Spielberg's sequel to 'Jurassic Park'. 'The Empire Strikes Back' is due for re-release on February 21st and 'Return of the Jedi' finishes off the space western trilogy with re-release on March 7th. There is approximately four and a half minutes of new footage included this time in 'Star Wars' with a conversation between Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Jabba the Hut who looks smaller than he appeared in 'Return of the Jedi' and since it is a computer enhanced Jabba this time, he moves much more quickly than 'Jedi's' Jabba who was slower because he was a puppet. Actually, a super puppet :-) The other additional scene has Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) talking to one of his star fighter buddies before the climax occurs which is the attack on the Death Star. So much for the additions. As for the enhancements, there are scenes from the first movie that have background additions such as flying objects, live action creatures and new laser effects from the weapon known as the 'blaster'. Purists have complained that Lucas should never have tampered with the original but as someone who has seen the film over 50 times, I had no problem with it and I think they've done a good job to keep the film above date and it does stand up remarkably well twenty years after the fact. Endless imitations followed 'Star Wars' and most of them flopped ('Battlestar Galactica', 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' and 'Flash Gordon') but 'Star Wars' was a revolutionary contribution to society's pop culture and influenced other outer space creations such as the return of the 'Star Trek' series which went from the small screen to the big one, the invention of the 'Alien' series, 'E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial', and no doubt today's 'The X-Files' which is arguably the best program on television for its combination of Earthly crime, outer space connection and paranormal activity. 'Star Wars: Special Edition' is a grand opportunity for everyone to enjoy it all over again and for a new generation to experience a wonder which will remain just as strong in 2077 as it does today.

ConceptsDescriptive statistics |
DefinitionsDescriptive statistics: Statistics which summarise a sample, but which do not attempt to draw conclusions (inferences) about a larger population. For example, the mean, the median, and the standard deviation of a variable in a sample are all descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics: Statistics which aims to draw conclusions about a population from the analysis of a sample from that population. This statistics asks “What do we know about the true population parameter given the information in the sample?” Inferential statistics tends to include a reported p-value or significance tests, or confidence intervals. These tell us the chance that the population parameter is zero (i.e. that nothing is happening). Population: A large, unseen group which you draw inferences about. A sample is drawn from a population. Sample: A set of cases (individuals) generally assumed to be drawn as a true random sample from the population. A sample is used to draw inferences about the population. For example:A sample of 1,000 voters surveyed by phone can be used to draw inferences about the population of Australian voters. Population parameter: A true value or characteristics of a population, for example, the mean age of Australian voters, or the proportion of voters who would give their two party prefer vote to the Liberal Party. The population parameter is the number you are trying to estimate with inferential statistics. Sample statistic: A value or characteristics measured on your sample. The sample statistics is an estimate of the true population parameter. For example, the mean age of your sample of 1,000 voters, or the proportion of your sample that would give their two party preferred vote to the Liberal Party. Null hypothesis: This is - roughly speaking - the hypothesis that “nothing is happening”. Most of the time the null hypothesis is that the population parameter is zero. P-value/statistical significance: Roughly speaking - the chance that our population parameter is zero. This is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The critical value is p < 0.05, which means a less that 5% chance that our population parameter is zero (or whatever our null hypothesis is). Confidence interval: This is the range within which we expect (normally with 95% confidence) the population parameter to lie. Correlation coefficient: A number between 1 and -1 that indicates the strength of the relationship between two variables, with 1 indicating that they completely covary in a positive direction, -1 indicating that they completely covary in an opposite direction, and 0 indicating that they are statistically independent. Pearson’s correlation coefficient: The most commonly used correlation coefficient. It is a standardised measure of how much two variables co-vary. The formal equation for pearson’s correlation coefficient (also called ‘r’) is: \(\begin{aligned} r = &\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i - \bar x)(y_i - \bar y)}{(N-1)s_x s_y} \\ \\ \text{Where:} \\ \bar x = &\text{ mean of x} \\ \bar y = &\text{ mean of y} \\ \bar N = &\text{ number of observations} \\ s_x = &\text{ standard deviation of x} \\ s_y = &\text{ standard deviation of y} \\ \end{aligned}\) T-test: A test used to compare the mean values of a dependent variable in two groups. Independent sample t-test: Used when you are comparing the same variable on two different groups of individuals (or cases). For example, comparing the scores on a test of two different classes. Paired sample t-test: Used when you are comparing two variables on the same set of individuals (or cases). For example, when you are comparing the quiz results of the same class in Week 1 and Week 2. Linear regression: A model for predicting the value of one variable from the value of other variables. The model uses the equation of a straight line (y = bx + c). y is the outcome variable, x is the predictor variable, and b is the slope of the relationship between x and y. \(\begin{aligned} y = &b_1 x_1 + b_2 x_2 + b_3 x_3 + ... + b_0 + e \\ \\ \text{Where:} \\ y=&\text{ dependent variable (outcome variables)} \\ x_1 , x_2 , \text{ ... }x_n = &\text{ independent variables (predictor variables)} \\ b_1 , b_2 , \text{ ... }b_n = &\text{ slope of relationship between }y\text{ and }x_1 , x_2 , \text{ ... }x_n \\ b_0 = &\text{ intercept (i.e. value of }y \text{ when all }x=0 \text{)} \\ \end{aligned}\) R-squared or \(R^2\): In a regression model, this is the proportion of change in the dependent variable (the outcome) accounted for by the independent variables in the model. regression coefficient (b): the change in the dependent variable associated with a one unit increase in the independent variable. standardised beta values: regression coefficients but for a model where the independent and dependent varables are all standardised (centred on zero, standard deviation of 1). The standardized beta regression coefficients are interpreted as “the number of standard deviation increase in the dependent variable associated with a one standard deviation increase in the independent variable.” |

Brazil's Bolsonaro to quit divided PSL party, found new one
BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will quit his fractious right-wing Social Liberal Party (PSL) and start a new one by March 2020, PSL lawmakers Daniel Silveira and Bia Kicis said on Tuesday after meeting with the president.
The PSL, which Bolsonaro joined as a vehicle to win the elections in October, is split down the middle over control of the party, though it is not clear how many of its 53 representatives and three senators will follow the president.
A meeting will be held on Nov. 21 to begin setting up the new party, which will be called Movimento pelo Brasil, or Movement for Brazil, Kicis told Reuters by telephone.
The split came to a head last month with an exchange of insults between the president and PSL founder Luciano Bivar, who has not wanted to hand over the reins to Bolsonaro and his sons.
At stake is 390 million reais ($94 million) in public campaign funds for municipal elections, an unprecedented war chest for the PSL, which rode Bolsonaro’s coattails to grow from a single lawmaker in Congress to the second-largest bench.
While senators, governors and mayors can freely switch parties, lower house lawmakers are subject to rules that bar them from continued access to the campaign funding if they swap parties.
“Several representatives plan to follow the president. We are prepared to lose the campaign funds because we want to found a new party to follow him,” Kicis said.
Bolsonaro needs to gather 500,000 signatures to start a new party, and his supporters are confident he can achieve that through social media, a tool that greatly aided his successful run for president last year.
One of the PSL’s three senators, Senator Soraya Thronicke from the farm state of Mato Grosso, told Reuters she has not made up her mind yet.
If she stayed in the PSL, only one senator would follow Bolsonaro, his son Flavio Bolsonaro.
The breakup of the PSL is not expected to affect Brazil’s economic reform agenda, which has ample backing in Congress.
But starting a new party could politically weaken Bolsonaro, who switched allegiances among eight parties during his 28 years in Congress before joining the PSL last year.

Final | Solutions (Eclipse project for testing your answers)
How do I find out my score? Like for the midterm, scores have been released on Gradescope. Log in to Gradescope to see your score.
If you have questions about exactly what points you missed and why, please look over the grade and markings made by the grader, compare it with our solutions, and then contact your section leader if you still have any questions.
The statistics of the exam scores (out of 180, to the nearest whole number) were as follows:
Mean: 114
Median: 127
Standard Deviation: 44
We work hard to grade consistently and correctly, but sometimes we make mistakes in grading. If you believe part of your exam was incorrectly graded, please first download the Eclipse project linked to above and run your answer. This is the easiest way to test your code. If, after running your code, you still believe your grade is incorrect, submit a regrade request for the question you believe was graded incorrectly through Gradescope. Regrade requests need to point out the aspect of the problem that was correct, but for which points were taken off. We use a detailed rubric to grade exams, so simply requesting that an incorrect answer "should be worth more points" is not likely to result in additional points.
We reserve the right to re-grade the whole exam to make sure there are no other grading issues present - this may result in a lower total score.
All regrade requests must be submitted by 5:00PM PDT on Tuesday, August 28, 2018.

Note that the BlueBook practice exam includes a file called "instructions".
Section Handouts and CodeStepByStep lecture practice problems (on the schedule page) are also great ways to practice relevant material.
The exam is on your computer but otherwise closed-book and closed-notes. You should bring:
Your laptop and charger
The device you use for two-step authentication
Two double-sided sheets of notes
A power strip / extension cord (optional, but recommended if you have access to one)
If you don't have a working laptop let us know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and we will get you set up with one.
Like the midterm, the final exam is administered on a digital tool called BlueBook. If you still have BlueBook from the midterm, skip this section. If you have a new laptop, please make sure to download and install BlueBook on your laptop before the exam.
Note: If you're using a Mac and you get an error saying that the Disk Image is from an unidentified developer, don't panic! Simply open up the Mac-BlueBook-1.0.0.dmg
file in your finder, and right click it and select "Open."" The same window will pop up, but this time you'll have a chance to open it anyway.
The logistics for the final exam are the same as for the midterm exam (except for an updated syntax reference sheet); please see the midterm logistics section for more information.
The final focuses on material taught since the time of the midterm, including the following concepts listed below. However, programming is inherently cumulative in that new topics build upon old ones. So you may be asked to solve problems that involve, though not necessarily focus primarily upon, past topics such as strings, int, double, boolean, random numbers, loops, if/else, parameters, return, expressions, variables, constants, file input with Scanner, and so on. Note that you may be asked to read code (look at a piece of existing code and answer questions about it, such as writing its output) and/or write code (write a piece of code such as a method or short program that solves a given problem).
Pass-by-value vs. pass-by-reference: demonstrate your understanding of objects vs. primitive values (i.e., passing objects, primitives, or arrays as parameters)
GraphicsPrograms: write Java code to implement a graphics program with certain behavior using Stanford's libraries; this may include drawing shapes such as GRect, GOval, etc., animation, and/or handling mouse events. (This topic was covered before the midterm, but Breakout, which gave practice with this, was due after the midterm)
Arrays: interpret/write code that uses a 1D array to solve a problem.
2D Arrays: interpret/write code that uses a 2D array (possibly from the pixels of a graphical image, possibly not) to solve a problem.
Collections: interpret/write code that uses the collections ArrayList
and/or HashMap
to solve a problem.
Objects and Classes: interpret/write a class and/or add behavior to an existing class.
Inheritance: interpret/write a class that extends another class, such as GCanvas.
Interactors: interpret/write a program that uses GUI components (buttons, labels, text fields) and events to produce a given behavior.
The following concepts will NOT be tested on the final:
Karel the Robot
Material from the "Life After CS 106A" lectures
Graphical shapes not used in lecture/section, such as GArc
and GPolygon
.
converting numbers to/from other bases, such as binary or hexadecimal
do
loops and the continue
statement (while
loops may be needed, though)
the switch
statement
static
methods or data (other than static final
constants)
throwing exceptions with the throw
statement
any Stanford library functionality not explicitly taught in class, section or homeworks
anything else not explicitly covered in lecture, section or homeworks
The recommended exam strategies for the final exam are the same as for the midterm; please see the midterm exam strategies section for more information.


2 January 2008
The Ministry of Health and Population, Egypt has announced two new cases of human infection of H5N1 avian influenza.
The first case is a 25 years old female from Dekerns District, Dakahlyah Governorate. She developed symptoms on 26 December, was hospitalized on 27 December and died on 30 December.
The second case is a 36 years old female from Menof District, Menofia Governorate. She developed symptoms on 26 December, was hospitalized on 29 December and died on 31 December. To date, there has been no evidence of an epidemiological link between this case and the previous case from Menofia Governorate announced on the 28 December.
 Of the 43 cases confirmed to date in Egypt, 18 have been fatal.

Interface collections.ImplementationCheckable
- public interface ImplementationCheckable
- extends Object
- extends Assertable
ImplementationCheckable is an interface for classes possessing
a method that checks the consistency of an objects internal state.
-
checkImplementation()
- Check the consistency of internal state, and raise exception if
not OK.
checkImplementation
public abstract void checkImplementation() throws ImplementationError
- Check the consistency of internal state, and raise exception if
not OK.
These should be `best-effort' checks. You cannot always locally
determine full consistency, but can usually approximate it,
and validate the most important representation invariants.
The most common kinds of checks are cache checks. For example,
A linked list that also maintains a separate record of the
number of items on the list should verify that the recorded
count matches the number of elements in the list.
This method should either return normally or throw:
- Throws: ImplementationError
- if check fails
