Neuroplasticity
Often we hold ourselves back thinking it is hard to change our brain, learn something new, or change our habits but,
understanding the principle of neuroplasticity helps us break these beliefs. It helps us realise that we can improve our
brain, which breaks many boundaries for us. It helps us from giving up and ultimately helps us reach our goals.
To increase my brain's neuroplasticity, I will not follow the same routine every day. I will exercise, eat healthy food
and get 8 hours of sleep.  I will practice what I learn to help retain
the information. I will try to engage my brain to it's best capacity.
What are some of the ways to increase your neuroplasticity
You can encourage neuroplasticity through your healthy lifestyle habits. Such as:
Growth Mindset
A "Fixed mind" person assumes that intelligence, the creative ability can not be changed. They correlate success with
intelligence and failure as unintelligence. While a "Growth mindset" enjoys challenges and relates failures to a
learning curve.
We operate in both fixed and growth mindset but what we hold has an immense amount of effect on our learning
abilities. A person with a fixed mindset will not be encouraged to improve their skills and would give up on the task
very quickly. In contrast, growth mindset person will continually try to improve their ability, develop new skills, and
are not afraid of leaning. A person with a growth mindset works hard to improve their skills and has a more chance of
becoming successful in their life. Growing mindset person will value the process regardless of its outcome.
This topic is not new to me. I remember myself from ten years ago, where I give up when things don't come to me quickly. I used to think that I am an average student, and I can never get an A in my studies. With time, I decided to invest in myself and make myself a better person every day. I may initially feel overwhelmed or scared, but I understand that failure is a part of the learning process, and it is not a bad thing. I am a different person than I was then, and this is a long ongoing journey for me.

ROGUE MALE (TV) (director: Clive Donner; screenwriter: Frederic Raphael/novel by Geoffrey Household; cinematographer: Brian Tuffano; editor: Dan Rae; cast: Peter O'Toole (Sir Robert Thorndyke), Alastair Sim (The Earl), Harold Pinter (Saul Abrahams), Hugh Manning (Peale), John Standing (Major Quive-Smith), Cyd Hayman (Rebecca), Ian East (Muller), Mark McManus (Vaner), 1976-UK)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A splendid TV movie remake of Fritz Lang's 1941 Man Hunt. Peter O'Toole is the aristocratic British hunter, Sir Robert Thorndyke, who attempts to assassinate Hitler in 1939, before war was declared. He is caught outside Hitler's vacation retreat and tortured, having the nails from his fingers torn off.  In order to get out of Germany, O'Toole gets help from a fisherman and then stows away on a British boat, which takes him back to London.
In London, things are not over for O'Toole. He is followed by German agents and realizes that he can't remain at home. This thriller becomes very tense, with O'Toole, an expert on hunting now the one who is hunted. He gets help from his Jewish lawyer friend (Harold Pinter), and flees to the English countryside. But it is an adventure for him to get out of London, as he is followed in the underground and must elude a German agent who tries to kill him on Holborn Station.  He now becomes wanted for murder.
While in Dorset, he goes to the postmaster to pick up a letter from his lawyer, but the postmaster recognizes him from his sketch in the newspaper and calls the police. After escaping the police with a bullet in his shoulder, he is trailed by two other German pursuers, an anti-Semitic Major Quive-Smith (Standing) who works for the Nazis, and his underling, Muller (Ian East), who just does what the major tells him to do.
Quive-Smith corners him in the underground hole he was hiding in and tells him that he will kill him unless he signs this incriminating document he has prepared for him. Somehow O'Toole tricks him and manages to execute him and escape to safety. Back in London he talks with his uncle (Sim), and tells him about his escapade. His uncle, who worked for the maligned ex-prime minister, Neville Chamberland, tells him that the new prime minister, Winston Churchill, heard about him and would like to meet with him.
O'Toole's performance is the thing here. He is a prime example of British royalty and he is eccentric, displaying impeccable manners, and a roguish way of looking at things. His attempt on Hitler's life is an extraordinary thing to do...though why he does it is only given a fuzzy interpretation. Via flashback, we learn that the woman he loved, Rebecca (Cyd), goes back to Germany and is executed by the Nazis. Clive Donner makes O'Toole grow into a character that is larger than his country, playing off his petulance, his wit and charm, against his daring skills to look death in the eye and heroically escape his pursuers. What the filmmaker does, is have O'Toole make great scenes out of conventional ones.  Even though O'Toole is the one trapped in the hole, the major seems to be the one suffocating on the truth, even as he puts on an air of decorum and lays it into his captive, his talk just sounds like jabbering when compared to O'Toole's. In this film, not being able to talk properly, means that you are more of an animal than an animal is.
"Rogue Male" is an updated "Man Hunt," that has been filmed after the war, allowing it to have no pretences about how evil the Nazis really were.
The movie's title comes from the fact that when an elephant gets separated from the herd, he's known as a rogue male-- and he's dangerous.

Dressing Up
So a while ago, Loki got a new saddle. However, the other item I’d been toying with getting for the Brompton since getting it, was a set of grips.
Of course, these would have to be Ergon grips, as since trying them on my other bike, I’ve been sorely impressed with them (well, no soreness at all, as that’s part of the reason for buying them!) For longer journeys, they all for different riding positions (with the bar ends) and are more comfortable than the standard Brompton grips for day to day to use.
So I finally got round to changing the grips when I purchased a set of Ergon GS2 grips.
These grips are marketed as the “performance” range of grips in the Ergon lineup - however, I’m not sure how much they differ from the GP3’s (comfort range) I’ve got on my touring bike (Fenrir), other than in the style. However, the only reason I went for the GS2 was that they have a set in white…
I added these to the bike this week.
The image doesn’t show how much of a pain taking the Brompton ones off was! I don’t know how much glue they use to stick them on in the factory, but it felt like they’d dipped the bike into the glue to attach them!
However, I resorted to scraping most of it off with a blunt knife. Used some IPA spray as well to try and soften it and get it off. In the end, I cleaned it up as best I could and then put the grips on over the top, using the IPA spray to help slide them on (as it made the glue left slightly tacky and easier to slide the grips over).
My initial concern with the Ergon grips was the fold. But that’s not impeded in any way.
Overall, I’ve used them for a few days and I’m glad I changed - I used to use the bar end position a lot on the Brompton without having bar ends before so these are comfier for that position. Perhaps the next change would be to get a black seat post?

Some of you (namely my parents and PhD advisor) know that I worked as a Senior Biostatistican last year for Janssen Pharmaceuticals. While I ended up leaving for my current postdoc position, I used and learned some useful skills that I thought might be valuable to share in case you’re a statistician curious about working in the pharmaceutical industry. Of course this is completely dependent on the area you end up working in and is just my experience supporting mostly Phase I-III clinical trials.
-
Communication, communication, communication. In my opinion, the most valuable skill you can have as a statistican in pharma is communicating statistical ideas & results to (very smart) non-statistics collaborators and statistician leaders who aren’t working with data/modeling day-to-day. This often means communicating assumptions in non-statistical language, using 1-2 effective visualizations to summarise a large amount of simulation results, and being clear about what the findings and/or recommendations are.
-
Running simulations in a high performance computing environment. I worked in the statistical modeling & methodology group, and thus my job was to mostly support trial design, rather than work as a trial statistician. A lot of the questions I tried to answer were of the form “What would happen to our power/trial timing if this assumption is not true?”. This often meant coding up a simulation that encoded the usual assumptions for a trial with a time-to-event endpoint, and then being able to run the simulation for different combinations of assumptions (i.e. the drug is even better than we think it is, non-proportional hazards, accrual not as fast as we assume, etc…). While this could be done on a local computer, being able to have a pipeline to run these simulations on a HPC allowed me to respond quickly to collaborators, which they really like. I learned these skills during my PhD, and I would highly recommend taking advantage of learning how to use an HPC environment if your university has one.
-
Learn the statistical background of conducting interim analyses (see more here). On the statistics side, learning the methodology and math behind interim analyses was one of the most complicated topics that I worked with on a day-to-day basis that I did not learn about in grad school. While you don’t strictly have to know all of the details, I found it incredibly helpful to know what was going on behind the scenes, as I found it helped with both coding simulations and also thinking about simulation results that seemed off at first glance. It was also interesting to think about why interim analyses are much more common in industry than in academic clinical trials, and why you might choose the timing & number of interim analyses for a trial.
If you have any questions about my experience, please feel free to get in touch with me. I would also recommend talking to other people as well!


I have generally experienced good leadership. Compassionate to an extent if different ways. I’ve had leaders that I think have a set of values or things that they do to ensure that they can be relied upon which I think is important to build trust. People are people before they are employees.
Multiplying goodness meditation I found helpful - there are certain times of the day that I do this and I think it helps me. My walk to and from work is meditative and I think I do try to perceive myself more and more authentically. Not propping myself up or pulling myself down but seeing myself and my mind and being ok with that.
Tonglen I didn’t do very well but I appreciated the metaphors and if felt like a method were people were trying to be be more with the world. I think this in some ways an indigenous perspective.
Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness. Status I think I value in certain forms. I think it might not be too productive to take through bootcamp. Certainty I’m not bothered about - I thrive in a messy situation. Autonomy I value and in some aspects I am stubborn headly independent. I have a taurus ascendant. Relatedness I think always needs to be approached with intersectionality in mind and I think there are always shared frames of reference between the most different groups of people and it’s important to seek these out. Fairness and justice is very important to me as a Libra. Injustice and inequality makes me very frustrated and angry and I want to change it.
I have difficult conversations quite often but I want to improve my ability to work through them. I think starting from a place of self awareness and kindness is a good place to start.


This chapter describes some platform-specific modules. I've emphasized modules that are available on entire families of platforms (such as Unix or the Windows family).

Paragraph 1 - The Following script is using the Fast Scala Compiler (fsc). The fsc is a compilation server which always run in the background, as in a warm scalac always ready to receive new work. Is will reduce compilation time dramatically. The classpath for compilation is taken from the Eclipse project .classpath file. You may take the source directory from there as well if you wish (exercise to the reader). The params are not passed to the fsc in the command line since in my project's case the line is too long for the OS to handle. The alternative is to put it into a file and let fsc handle it for you.
TextNode 2 - As you may know, kaChing is an test driven engineering organization. Test driven is not an option, its a must. We move fast and push code to production few dozens of times a day in a five minutes release cycle, so we must have high confidence in our code. In complex systems there is no end to testings, each test system is an another line of defense which eventually gets broken but the more you have, the less chances bugs will reach production. We do not have QA team and do not want to have one, the reasoning is that if a human is involved in testing then there is a higher chance of missing things and you simply can't test all the site dozens of times a day.Paragraph 2 - In the next few weeks we are adding a new rule from the "not critical" list every few days. The goal is to have all the rules we think are important without the common "its to noisy, lets ignore it" approche. Only after we're done with that we're going to add the next static analysis tool to build. The good thing about these tools and hudson is that you can run them in parallel to the unit/integration tests, on another machine, so they won't slow down the overall release cycle.


This class has been designed over the past 4 years and goes beyond just being a Go language class. There will be very little time spent on specific Go syntax. Our time will be spent learning how to read and understand Go code with a big focus of "if performance matters" then these things matter. During the day we will talk about code design, semantics, guidelines, mechanical sympathy and data oriented design.
Everyone is going to be mentally exhausted by the end of the day. We will be challenging every student to think about what they are doing and why. In the 4 years we have taught this material, we never had someone not appreciate the class and feel like they are a better developer for it. If you want to be a better Go developer, code reviewer, designer and architect, this is the class you want to take.
 Students do not have to be expert Go users but they will get the most from the workshop if they have completed the majority of the Go Tour.
William Kennedy is a managing partner at Ardan Labs in Miami, Florida, a mobile, web, and systems development company. He is also a co-author of the book Go in Action, the author of the blog GoingGo.Net, and a founding member of GoBridge which is working to increase Go adoption through diversity.

The Sixth Sense (PG-13) *** 1/2 Starring Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment Directed by M. Night Shyamalan A Review by Frankie Paiva
An announcement to the world, I have finally seen The Sixth Sense. At first I didn't want to go, it just didn't sound like that appealing of a movie. Then one of my friend's told me to go see it, but they like Adam Sandler, so I dismissed their comment at first. Then my parent's friend went to go see it, and they loved it. Then my dad's boss said that he and his wife loved it, so naturally we had to go. And boy was I surprised. Anyone that does not want to see this movie because it promises to be and scary, and really isn't (there are only so many Lake Placid's, Deep Blue Sea's, and Blair Witch Project's that you can see) should suspend all disbelief and go and see this film now. Anyone that can make up another stupid excuse such as, but I'd rather go to Hooters, or let's rent a movie instead, should come to their senses (the seventh sense perhaps?) and see this film immediately.
 A year after he recovers from the shooting, he is assigned his first new case. Cole Sear (Joel Osment, who I'll be rooting for at the Oscars) is a disturbed child that is constantly plagued by these horrific visions and receives multiple stab wounds without ever really getting hurt. Malcom is frightened as he finds this child to be more and more like the person that shot him.
So when Cole tells him that he can see dead people (OK, I realize that I am giving away a major plot point, but all of the ads include those words so I might as well anyway) he doesn't believe him at first, but as time goes by, be begins to believe in the supernatural.
Great performances from the entire cast, especially Haley Joel Osment (all you people that say young people today can't act or win Oscars have been proven wrong! Heck, if a guy who doesn't speak English can win for being in a truly magical film, a kid can win for acting in a hella spooky one) and Toni Collette as his mother. Bruce Willis also belongs on the nomination list, (but will probably be forgotten with other should be nominees like director Tom Tykwer and Dan Hedaya in "Dick." If my first paragraph hasn't convinced you to see the film yet, there are also wild sex scenes that show graphic nudity from all members of the Dawson's Creek cast, (heck, why not use false statements and fake advertising to promote a product, it's been done before) and the film is scarier than Blair Witch (true.) What are you waiting for? Go, now, to the theater and see The Sixth Sense, which gets *** 1/2 stars.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If the surprise twist at the end doesn't give you a heart attack, I think that only the nachos they serve at the refreshment counter will.
The Young-Uns: The film contains some very chilling scenes of dead people, vomiting, and poisioning. Good Age: 12-13 & Up

My PhD supervisor once told me that everyone doing newspaper analysis starts by writing code to read in files from the 'LexisNexis' newspaper archive (retrieved e.g., from <http://www.nexis.com/> or any of the partner sites). However, while this is a nice exercise I do recommend, not everyone has the time. This package takes TXT files downloaded from the newspaper archive of 'LexisNexis', reads them into R and offers functions for further processing.

PySpark Application Execution
2020-09-16
3 minutes
It took me a while to really understand how Spark (specifically PySpark) works under the hood. Specifically, I’m referring to what happens when I, as the user, submit a PySpark data processing job to a cluster. Even after all my digging around I’m still uncertain about how a few things work. I’m kinda of surprised at how convoluted the documentation is for a library/framework that’s so popular in industry. Nevertheless, this is my attempt at putting together a very high-level overview of how Spark works, from the perspective of the PySpark interface. I’ve broken things down into a key concept, some Spark terminology, and finally how Spark executes an application.
Key Concept
Spark processes all data in memory. This makes it efficient since you’re not wasting time reading/writing data from disk. (That’s an inefficiency you face with MapReduce. The output of the mapping process is written to disk before it’s used in the reduce process.)
Terminology
Now for some terminology.
- Transformation Functions: Spark functions that transform data but do not return a result (
.filter()
,.join()
,.groupBy()
, etc). Transformations are lazily executed; this means that they will only be executed when an action function is called. - Action Functions: Spark functions that require something to be returned back to the user (
.show()
,.collect()
,.count()
, etc). They require the Spark Application to be deployed and data processing to take place so that a result can be returned. - Spark Application: A set of instructions that describe a connection to the Spark cluster along with a sequence of transformation and action functions to process the data (i.e. your PySpark code).
- Spark Context: The connection you establish between your Spark application and the Spark cluster. (In PySpark you create this connection with something like
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('foo').getOrCreate()
.) - Driver Process: This is the process that is responsible for sending your Spark Application to the cluster and receiving the results after the completion of the application.
- Cluster Manager: This is responsible for allocating resources to the executor processes and monitoring them in order to complete the tasks described in the Spark Application.
- Executor Process: These processes are responsible for actually reading/writing data and computing the transformation/action functions.
- Main Node: Where the cluster manager runs.
- Secondary Node: Where the executor processes run.
- Driver Node: Where the driver process runs.
Spark Application Execution
The process of running a simple query like df.filter(...).show()
in your application goes some thing this:
- The user writes their PySpark application which consists of resource requirements and transformations/actions on the data.
- This application is deployed on the driver which creates a Spark Session which is the connection to the Spark cluster. The driver could be on the user’s side (client/local mode) or on the Spark cluster (cluster mode).
- The driver takes your Spark application’s transformation and action functions and creates a DAG (directed acyclic graph) to determine the optimal computation procedure.
- The driver submits your Spark application via an API like PySpark.
- The cluster manager on the main node allocates the resources (to the executors on the secondary nodes) required to complete your job.
- The executors run the tasks required to complete your job by reading/writing data, shuffling information, and doing the transformations/action requested by the user. When they complete the result is sent back to the driver
I’m big on visuals. So here’s my attempt at illustrating the workflow.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land use are a substantial contributor to global emissions, particularly carbon (C) stock changes from land-use conversion [ 1– 3]. For example, deforestation, i.e., converting forests to non-forest uses (e.g., settlements) leads to oxidation of organic matter in the tree biomass, litter and dead wood pools both onsite and offsite, and emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) to the atmosphere, as well as emissions of other non-CO 2 GHGs where burning occurs. Afforestation and reforestation have the potential to reverse this process resulting in a net uptake of CO 2 from the atmosphere. Such a dynamic was exhibited in the United States during the twentieth century as former croplands were abandoned and reverted to forest in many cases [ 4]. Land-use conversion also influences soil C pools. For example, cultivation of land leads to a release of soil C ranging from 30 to 60% of the original stock in the topsoil [ 5, 6]. Adopting conservation tillage, particularly no-till, can increase soil C stocks due to physical protection of organic matter in aggregates [ 7, 8]. Changing crop production practices, such as planting improved varieties or changing fertilization and irrigation practices can also have an impact on soil C stocks [ 9]. Land use can have a profound effect on trajectories of terrestrial C sinks and sources, as well as other GHG fluxes, and consequently, quantifying the impacts of land use and land-use change is a fundamental component of national GHG inventories.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has developed guidelines for estimating anthropogenic GHG emissions and removals [ 9– 11] that are used to compile national GHG inventories for reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). National greenhouse gas inventories focus on anthropogenic sources of emissions because policy interventions directly influence human activities contributing to emissions. Other, non-anthropogenic sources of emissions, such as permafrost melting in the arctic and associated CO 2 fluxes, are important for understanding the global C cycle, but are less likely to be impacted by direct management actions. In the case of permafrost, indirect effects are possible by reducing direct emissions from anthropogenic sources, such as fossil fuel combustion, fertilization management for croplands, waste management, but direct management of permafrost seems unlikely. Therefore, as part of the IPCC guidelines, GHG emissions and associated C stock changes from land use and management activities are to be estimated for all managed land in the country.
The IPCC defines managed land as “… land where human interventions and practices have been applied to perform production, ecological or social functions” [ 9]. However, the use of “managed land” as a proxy for anthropogenically-driven GHG fluxes does not always require active management such as in cropland, settlements or commercial forest land. It may also incorporate management decisions that are more nuanced, such as protecting lands from wildfires, using wilderness for recreation or designating areas for conservation. The IPCC guidance provides latitude for governments to refine the definition of managed land to meet their national circumstances, but the definition should be applied consistently over time and across the territory in the country. Reporting should also be transparent and include descriptions of the methods and definitions used to determine areas of managed and unmanaged lands. Determining the managed land base will have implications for C stock changes and associated GHG emissions that are reported to the UNFCCC and addressed by policy actions to mitigate GHG emissions.
Emissions and removals of GHGs from the land surface occur even without anthropogenic interventions through land management. For example, forests accumulate and lose C through production and decomposition processes, and these trajectories can change with natural disturbances [ 12]. In addition, there is a limit to how much a land manager can influence GHG emissions on managed land because the processes driving C stock changes and other GHG fluxes are not fully controlled by the manager. This has been recognized in the agreements for the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol and participating countries have the option to exclude emissions and subsequent removals from natural disturbances on managed lands with fulfillment of the defined rules [ 11, 13]. Complete separation of anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic emissions on managed land is not trivial [ 14, 15], and may not even be feasible. Regardless, the managed land proxy allows inventory compilers to focus on areas in a country directly impacted by management activity, and is considered by the IPCC as the most universally applicable approach for separating anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic emissions associated with land use [ 14].
Given the disparity in the use of the managed land proxy among UNFCCC member governments, there is a need to understand the concept and associated application by governments. Therefore, our objective is to review steps for delineating a managed land base as a foundation for reporting GHG emissions associated with land use and land-use change. The managed land definition and implementation methods for Brazil, Canada and the United States are examined in more detail. Developing a managed land base involves three general steps, (a) defining managed land taking into consideration national circumstances, (b) developing implementation criteria compatible with the definition, and (c) implementing the analysis to produce the managed land base for GHG reporting.

Murphy's business partner is convicted tax dodger
by Hugh O'ConnellFINE Gael is staying silent on whether the party knew the business partner of its by-election candidate was a convicted tax dodger.
Verona Murphy runs a haulage firm, Drumur Transport Ltd, with her business partner Joseph Druhan.
The name of the firm is drawn from a combination of their surnames.
In 2012, Mr Druhan was personally listed as a tax defaulter by the Revenue Commissioners for under-declaration of VAT.

He paid €74,271 - €41,865 in tax and €32,406 in penalties.
Mr Druhan made false VAT returns to the Revenue using bogus invoices for diesel which he took from the public counter of a Rosslare fuel suppliers.
He was given a suspended sentence of one year in prison in February 2012.
Mr Druhan, from Ballysheen, Carne, Broadway, in Co Wexford, pleaded guilty to eight counts of knowingly making incorrect VAT returns between January 2005 and October 2008; claiming a refund of €5,199 from Revenue on May 25, 2005, to which he was not entitled; producing an incorrect invoice in the name of Rosslare Fuels to Revenue officer Prionsias O Maolalaidh on March 6, 2008, and failing to keep true records of all VAT transactions for the period January 2005 to December 2005.
The offences related to Mr Druhan's business as a sole trader.
Ms Murphy and Mr Druhan later merged their businesses and set up as a limited company.
Records in the Companies Registration Office say that the company was formed in 2009.
When asked if it was aware of the case, a Fine Gael spokesperson said the party had no response.
Fine Gael has been taken by surprise by a series of comments by, and revelations about, Ms Murphy who is standing in the Wexford by-election next week.
The party was caught unawares by a series of interviews in which she expressed views about immigrants.
And revelations of bullying allegations against Ms Murphy drew a mixed response.
Initially, the party said that it had no comment, but later said it did know about the case.

Se7en (1995) Rated R for graphic portrayals of grizzly and unusual murders, and harsh language. ---------- Out of 4 stars: **** (4 Stars)
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow.
"I have never seen a film like SE7EN before in my life. I don't think I will see one like it again. SE7EN is not just a film--it is a work of art." My high school drama teacher considers SE7EN the best film he has ever seen. This statement from one of my favorite teachers sparked my interest in this film. I had heard other critics give it great reviews, and then others gave it lesser reviews. However, since my teacher has great taste in film, I decided to see what all the hype was about. My expectations were set very high for this film, and not only did it reach those expectations, but it far exceeded them. SE7EN is definitely one of the best films ever made.
SE7EN is directed by David Fincher, the creator of ALIEN 3, and the new film THE GAME. When first released, SE7EN became an enormous box-office hit because it finally did something most audiences had never seen for a long time: it dazzled us with spectacular visuals, and enthralled us with a frightening story. Not only did it gain popularity with audiences, but it sparked controversy over many of the graphic murders portrayed. If you don't know by now, SE7EN centers its plot around a killer who bides by the Seven Deadly Sins. Sure, this is a very original idea, but we have all seen serial killer movies before. However, we have never seen one done so thoroughly or emotionally involving. Fincher knows exactly how to play with his audience and their emotions. He creates interesting characters that we grow to like, and then he spins the film around and makes us sick to our stomach.
Perhaps what makes SE7EN work isn't necessarily the plot or the characters, but the visual accuity of Fincher. The title sequence has earned praise for the fast editing, symbolism, and foreshadowing involved. But this is just the start. The film opens with a couple moving to New York to begin a new life. Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) and his wife Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow) move into a good-sized apartment, and Mills goes to work alongside veteran and retiring Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman). Somerset doesn't exactly take a liking to his new, impatient partner, but he likes Mills' wife. They are sent to a murder scene to investigate the brutal and torturous killing of an extremely obese man. The man was tied with barbed wire to a chair and forced to eat himself to death. The grizzly murder is just the start of an ensuing game of cat-and-mouse, with an undetermined killer as the mouse. Clues around the obese man's home reveals the word Gluttony, the first of seven murders.
As these two detectives investigate the murder, more show up: Sloth, Greed, Lust, Pride. One man was forced to cut a pound of his own flesh off, and another man was tied to a bed and barely kept alive for one year. It soon becomes apparent that the killer might be trying to give a sermon of some kind, and as the two detectives get closer to the killer, they find their own lives getting mixed into the mess. As they get closer to solving the case and catching the killer, the "preacher's" message begins to appear directed more towards Mills and Somerset. Mills' family life is deteriorating, and Somerset gets closer to Tracy, who reveals secrets to him that she hasn't even told her husband. All of this leads up to the inevitable, but shocking conclusion which answers all the questions we have been asking, and gives us something to think about on the way out of the theater. Revealing the ending would be a mistake, and all I will say is that the killer shows up at the police station to turn himself in. Why would he turn himself in without finishing his goal? Has he already done Wrath and Envy? These questions are answered, but the answers may not be exactly what we expected, or wanted.
As I have mentioned above, SE7EN is mostly a film about mood and atmosphere. It rains most of the time, and the sets are dark and dreary. The victims' places are usually lit with dim lights, and shadows are cast all around the place. Many places are only lit by the detectives' flashlights which bounce around the room, illuminating key pieces to the plot of which Fincher wants you to see. As with THE GAME, Fincher is capable of shifting your attention from one thing to another by his camera angles and lighting effects. This is one of those films in which you may only want to see on the big screen, or the letterbox version on video. The big screen holds so many small details which become fuzzy and sometimes unextinguishable on the transition to the small screen. However, if you are able to get ahold of a copy of a letterbox version of SE7EN, I suggest watching it on a big-screen TV, to get the maximum effect. As my drama teacher said about SE7EN, "You can pause this film at any point, take a picture of it, and hang it on the wall." Like TWELVE MONKEYS, SE7EN mixes a fiercely frustrating story with creepy visuals and grotesque murders.
SE7EN does have some minor flaws, although they are hardly noticeable unless you scrutinize over the ending. The first hour and a half, we never know who the killer is, and then he reveals himself in the final thirty minutes. This is extremely well done, because it doesn't rely on the action ending that so many films as this one would use. However, a couple plot holes arise from his appearance, but it's almost pointless to point them out. Besides, Fincher's direction and the star power of Pitt, Freeman, and the mysterious killer (who most of us should recognize nowadays) give the ending enough speed and power to leap over the holes with the greatest of ease. Now that I think about it, I don't even know why I brought this up.
Choosing the correct actors for SE7EN was crucial for the film to work. Brad Pitt will probably draw female viewers, and Gwyneth Paltrow will draw male viewers. However, Pitt gives a stunning and inspired performance, proving that he isn't just another pretty face. Freeman, on the other hand, steals the film as the veteran detective. His poetic dialogue is given an added touch by Freeman's almost monotonous tone which fits the style of SE7EN. Pitt's talkative character gives Freeman the perfect opposite to work with. Paltrow is a key to the plot, but for most of the film, she remains off screen. The mysterious killer, who gave an uncredited performance, is played by an actor who most people know today. However, taking Roger Ebert's lead, I will not reveal his name in my review. Pitt and Freeman are the central characters and they fit in with the atmospheric setting Fincher applies to his sets. Freeman almost blends into the background, while Pitt stands out like a sore thumb. My guess is that this is symbolic because of Pitt's kick-ass style and Freeman's withdrawn but intelligent character.
SE7EN is rated R for graphic afterviews of grizzly and gruesome murders, and harsh language. Fincher has given us a nearly perfect film, and he will most likely become a big Hollywood director. On seeing SE7EN, I almost forgot that it was a commercial film. The depth and layers of the story is usually seen in independent features, but the graphic killings can be too shocking for some viewers. However, despite the graphic nature of this film, most people will look back at this film and remember the ending. Like THE USUAL SUSPECTS, the ending shocks everyone, and usually creates repeat viewings. SE7EN is one of the best films ever made, and will be remembered for a long time to come.

Say you have a list. You want to make a new list based on that first list but with modification to each item in that list; just to be clear it’s the same modification for each item. You could write code to take the first item, change it, add it to the new list and do all of that for every item in the list. You’d hate life, but you could do it. OR… you could use the enumerable #map to create that second list and do that modification to each item in the original list automatically.
Now that I wrote that little gem I begin to understand why reference materials for coders all sound like Yoda writing instructions on how to put together an Ikea bookshelf.
Okay let’s clean that up a bit.
For demonstration’s sake, let’s say we’re working with a list of prices and you want to figure out what those prices would total out to with tax. Say 7.38%. I want to maintain my original list unchanged but want my other list to have the price plus tax. #map is a method used in Ruby. What it does is look into an array (a group of something), does something to each item in that array, then makes a new array out of the results.
You want this: To give you this:
Item Item plus tax
8.98, 9.64
10.99 11.80
50.0 53.69
12.52 13.44
5.0 5.37
We start with that first list, an array of numbers:
array1 = [8.98, 10.99, 50.00, 12.52, 5.00]
We want to create a second list, based on the first.
array2 = array1
But we want to actually have the second list calculate item plus tax on each item, and give us back each item in the new list.
array2 = array1.map{ |n| (n*1.0738).round(2)}
So what’s going on there? Let’s break down the statement a piece at a time.
“array2 = ” means create a new array setting it equal to this junk on the right.
“array1.map” means to look into array1 and put each value I find into array2 after I do this stuff in the braces to my right.
“{“ The curly braces says to start following instructions that will apply to each item in array1.
“|n|” This is us telling map to use the letter n as a representation of each item in array1.
“(n*1.0738)” This tells map to multiple the item found by 1.0738…
“.round(2)” … then round it to the nearest hundredth.
“}” The last curly brace indicates the end of the instruction.
In this particular setup, everything between the curly braces {} is done to every item in the array.
One thing I need to point out. #map is what’s called a non-destructive method, which means it leaves the original thing it looked into completely unchanged. You can see how array1 wasn’t changed in the example shown below, and what the result was of using #map (plus the instructions for figuring tax) returned.
array1 = [8.98, 10.99, 50.00, 12.52, 5.00]
array2 = array1.map{ |n| (n*1.0738).round(2)}

ETEX(1) ETEX(1) NAME etex - extended (plain) TeX SYNOPSIS etex [options] [&format] [file|\commands] DESCRIPTION Run the e-TeX typesetter on file, by default creating file.dvi. If the file argument has no extension, ".tex" will be appended to it. Instead of a filename, a set of e-TeX commands can be given, the first of which must start with a backslash. With a &format argument e-TeX uses a dif‐ ferent set of precompiled commands, contained in format.fmt; it is usu‐ ally better to use the -fmt format option instead. e-TeX is the first concrete result of an international research & devel‐ opment project, the NTS Project, which was established under the aegis of DANTE e.V. during 1992. The aims of the project are to perpetuate and develop the spirit and philosophy of TeX, whilst respecting Knuth's wish that TeX should remain frozen. e-TeX can be used in two different modes: in compatibility mode it is supposed to be completely interchangable with standard TeX. In extended mode several new primitives are added that facilitate (among other things) bidirectional typesetting. An extended mode format is generated by prefixing the name of the source file for the format with an asterisk (*). e-TeX's handling of its command-line arguments is similar to that of the other TeX programs in the web2c implementation. OPTIONS This version of e-TeX understands the following command line options. -fmt format Use format as the name of the format to be used, instead of the name by which e-TeX was called or a %& line. -enc Enable the encTeX extensions. This option is only effective in combination with -ini. For documentation of the encTeX extensions see http://www.olsak.net/enctex.html. -etex Enable the e-TeX extensions. This option is only effective in combination with -ini. -file-line-error Print error messages in the form file:line:error which is similar to the way many compilers format them. -no-file-line-error Disable printing error messages in the file:line:error style. -file-line-error-style This is the old name of the -file-line-error option. -halt-on-error Exit with an error code when an error is encountered during pro‐ cessing. -help Print help message and exit. -ini Start in INI mode, which is used to dump formats. The INI mode can be used for typesetting, but no format is preloaded, and basic initializations like setting catcodes may be required. -interaction mode Sets the interaction mode. The mode can be either batchmode, non‐ stopmode, scrollmode, and errorstopmode. The meaning of these modes is the same as that of the corresponding \commands. -ipc Send DVI output to a socket as well as the usual output file. Whether this option is available is the choice of the installer. -ipc-start As -ipc, and starts the server at the other end as well. Whether this option is available is the choice of the installer. -jobname name Use name for the job name, instead of deriving it from the name of the input file. -kpathsea-debug bitmask Sets path searching debugging flags according to the bitmask. See the Kpathsea manual for details. -mktex fmt Enable mktexfmt, where fmt must be either tex or tfm. -mltex Enable MLTeX extensions. Only effective in combination with -ini. -no-mktex fmt Disable mktexfmt, where fmt must be either tex or tfm. -output-comment string Use string for the DVI file comment instead of the date. -output-directory directory Write output files in directory instead of the current directory. Look up input files in directory first, the along the normal search path. -parse-first-line If the first line of the main input file begins with %& parse it to look for a dump name or a -translate-file option. -no-parse-first-line Disable parsing of the first line of the main input file. -progname name Pretend to be program name. This affects both the format used and the search paths. -recorder Enable the filename recorder. This leaves a trace of the files opened for input and output in a file with extension .fls. -shell-escape Enable the \write18{command} construct. The command can be any shell command. This construct is normally disallowed for security reasons. -no-shell-escape Disable the \write18{command} construct, even if it is enabled in the texmf.cnf file. -src-specials Insert source specials into the DVI file. -src-specials where Insert source specials in certain placed of the DVI file. where is a comma-separated value list: cr, display, hbox, math, par, parent, or vbox. -translate-file tcxname Use the tcxname translation table to set the mapping of input characters and re-mapping of output characters. -default-translate-file tcxname Like -translate-file except that a %& line can overrule this set‐ ting. -version Print version information and exit. ENVIRONMENT See the Kpathsearch library documentation (the `Path specifications' node) for precise details of how the environment variables are used. The kpsewhich utility can be used to query the values of the variables. One caveat: In most e-TeX formats, you cannot use ~ in a filename you give directly to e-TeX, because ~ is an active character, and hence is expanded, not taken as part of the filename. Other programs, such as Metafont, do not have this problem. TEXMFOUTPUT Normally, e-TeX puts its output files in the current directory. If any output file cannot be opened there, it tries to open it in the directory specified in the environment variable TEXMFOUTPUT. There is no default value for that variable. For example, if you say etex paper and the current directory is not writable, if TEXM‐ FOUTPUT has the value /tmp, e-TeX attempts to create /tmp/paper.log (and /tmp/paper.dvi, if any output is produced.) TEXMFOUTPUT is also checked for input files, as TeX often gener‐ ates files that need to be subsequently read; for input, no suf‐ fixes (such as ``.tex'') are added by default, the input name is simply checked as given. TEXINPUTS Search path for \input and \openin files. This should start with ``.'', so that user files are found before system files. An empty path component will be replaced with the paths defined in the texmf.cnf file. For example, set TEXINPUTS to ".:/home/user/tex:" to prepend the current direcory and ``/home/user/tex'' to the standard search path. TEXFORMATS Search path for format files. TEXPOOL search path for etex internal strings. TEXEDIT Command template for switching to editor. The default, usually vi, is set when e-TeX is compiled. TFMFONTS Search path for font metric (.tfm) files. FILES The location of the files mentioned below varies from system to system. Use the kpsewhich utility to find their locations. etex.pool Text file containing e-TeX's internal strings. texfonts.map Filename mapping definitions. *.tfm Metric files for e-TeX's fonts. *.fmt Predigested e-TeX format (.fmt) files. NOTES Starting with version 1.40, pdfTeX incorporates the e-TeX extensions, so in this installation eTeX may be just a symbolic link to pdfTeX. See pdftex(1). This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of e-TeX can be found in the info manual Web2C: A TeX implementation. BUGS This version of e-TeX implements a number of optional extensions. In fact, many of these extensions conflict to a greater or lesser extent with the definition of e-TeX. When such extensions are enabled, the ban‐ ner printed when e-TeX starts is changed to print e-TeXk instead of e- TeX. This version of e-TeX fails to trap arithmetic overflow when dimensions are added or subtracted. Cases where this occurs are rare, but when it does the generated DVI file will be invalid. SEE ALSO pdftex(1), tex(1), mf(1). AUTHORS e-TeX was developed by Peter Breitenlohner and the NTS team; Peter later continued its development outside of the team. TeX was designed by Donald E. Knuth, who implemented it using his Web system for Pascal programs. It was ported to Unix at Stanford by Howard Trickey, and at Cornell by Pavel Curtis. The version now offered with the Unix TeX distribution is that generated by the Web to C system (web2c), originally written by Tomas Rokicki and Tim Morgan. The encTeX extensions were written by Petr Olsak. Web2C 2011 1 March 2011 ETEX(1)


Ten Movies That Shook Wanniski
Memo To - Website browsers, fans & clients >From - Jude Wanniski http://www.polyconomics.com Re - #6 "The Grapes of Wrath"
Continuing with the "movie list," here is number six of the ten films that most shaped my life. These are not my favorite films. They are the movies I've seen that have had the greatest influence on my thinking, my character, my life. Some are favorites that I enjoy watching over and over again, which you can tell as you read each entry. Try to think of your own experiences with films and how they influenced the course of your life. It makes life more interesting to be aware, as you live it, to know how things such as books and films and magazine articles alter your path in significant ways. Sometime last year the Sunday NYTimes "Arts and Leisure" section had a piece on how difficult it is to think of a movie that may have changed history. The only movie they could think of was a silent film by D.W. Griffith, Birth of a Nation, which had a scene about the KuKluxKlan that the author believes changed national thinking about the KKK. How silly. Each of the ten films listed here changed my history, and if I had not seen them, I would not have helped change history in the ways that I have. Films don't move masses. They move individuals who move masses.
6. "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940) I was only four when this Henry Fonda flick hit the silver screen, and I rather doubt I saw it then, but did see it the first of many times before I was 10. Fonda was my maternal grandmother's favorite actor, not least because he almost always played a fellow who tried to help the poor folks and bravely confronted social injustice. (Note he also stars in Movie #1 on my list, "The Ox-Bow Incident." "Grapes of Wrath" is a Great Depression story, about down-and-out Okies leaving the dustbowl in search of the land-of-milk-and-honey in California in a rickety truck. They encounter ups and downs along the way and find the going rough even when they get to California. The scene that hit me hardest, as a little kid, takes place in a highway diner where they stop to buy half a loaf of bread, as I recall. One of the little Okie kids asks a waitress for a penny candy, because that's all he has. She looks at the ragamuffin and sells him a candy, while two husky truckdrivers look on waiting to pay their bill. They tip her a dollar, with one telling the waitress that he knows the candy she gave the kid cost a nickel. As the men walk out, she shakes her head and smiles: "Truckdrivers!" From that moment,it's a film moment that still occasionally inspires me to sudden impulses of generosity and a definite bias toward the Teamsters Union.

Now we're ready to talk about inserting variable data. So far, we've been running all of our queries "statically," or via "hard-coding." The term "hard-coding" is used to describe scenarios where the code should contain variables, but instead the variables are coded by hand rather than by program.
If using PythonAnywhere:
If you are following along via PythonAnywhere, let's go ahead and kill the running MySQL console. Click on the "Consoles" tab, then use the "kill" option to the right of the console in the list under "Your consoles."
Next, head to the "Files" tab, and create a new file by entering the title and clicking on "new."
Via your own Server:
In order to interact with a MySQL database, you're going to need the MySQLdb module. To get that, you can either use pip, yum or apt-get.
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
or
yum install python-mysqldb
or
pip install MySQL-python
Once you have that, do:
sudo nano dbconnectex.py
Now we're ready to interact with MySQL via our Python file.
import MySQLdb # replace mysql.server with "localhost" if you are running via your own server! # server MySQL username MySQL pass Database name. conn = MySQLdb.connect("mysql.server","beginneraccount","cookies","beginneraccount$tutorial") c = conn.cursor() c.execute("SELECT * FROM taula") rows = c.fetchall() for eachRow in rows: print eachRow
Running that, you should get the following output:
Breakdown of each element of the script, click to learn more:
import MySQLdbWe import MySQLdb, which is a Python module for interacting with MySQL databases and the MySQL language.
Next, we connect to our database using MySQLdb.connect(), which takes the server address, the MySQL username, the MySQL password, and then the database name.
We then assign to the variable of "c," short for "cursor," the conn.cursor(). Think of the cursor like your mouse cursor. The cursor is used for actions like selecting things, moving around... etc. You will use it to execute all of your queries.
Now we can use c.execute() to literally execute queries, which you're familiar with by now. Here, we're issuing a SELECT * statement, which is going to return to us all of the rows within the taula table.
Now we use c.fetchall(). So, we're using the cursor to fetch all of the returned rows, so now "rows" is basically a list of the return.
Finally, we iterate through our "rows" list with a for loop.

In the last quarter of this year in college, I am studying Interactive Systems. In this course we started working with OpenFrameworks, which is nothing more than a framework that makes it easy to use OpenGL and development of 2D and 3D Applications. The first project that we are developing is a 2D multiplayer racing game.
Game Engine
This graphics engine is the biggest project I've developed on graphical programming. Further on, I will try to explain more extensively the structure used for development, the use of each part of the structure and why I chose that structure and not another.
For now, here's a video demonstration.
Octree + Ray Collision
Nowadays in applications that work with 3D graphical environments require monitoring the collision between meshes with lots of triangles, so that the computational cost of checking all triangles of both meshes would be too high.
QuickHull 3D
At the Computational Geometry course I have implemented the Quickhull algorithm for its application in 3D, following the paper "Barber, C. B., Dobkin, D. P., & Huhdanpaa, H. T. (1996). The Quickhull algorithm for convex hulls. ACM Trans. on Mathematical Software, 22(4), 469—483". And following the example of this java applet developed by UNSW School of Computer Science and Engineering.

WARNING:


Fixing jumpers knee
Stopping that annoying pain directly under or above the knee cap is easier than you think. It doesn't take $$$ spent on physiotherapy or any weird equipment. In just two weeks my struggle with knee pain vanished - and never came back.
Before you try anything - visit a doctor
Warning:
Curing the wrong problem will not help you much. More likely it will introduce a second problem, which you definitely don't want. Consult with medical personel first!
No pain no gain
This specific type of pain is a result of body growth. Is it good than? Far from that.
Your body is an amazing device. It has bones as structure and muscles to move one bone relative to another. A bunch of special fibers called tendons connect the muscles to the bones.
When you decide to contract you muscles the tendons get as much stress as the muscles themselves. Normally there is a limit on how much force a muscle can produce and your visits to the gym push that limit upwards. The body adapts and the muscle grows. So is the tendon, which adapts to support the bigger force and the stronger muscle.
But here is the problem. The muscle grows significantly faster than the tendon, and constant preasure on the muscles makes it stronger, leaving the tendon lagging behind, unable to provide the necessary support for it.
A set of special exercises for the tendons will address just that. Two weeks of 3x15 repetitions, twice a day and you will be back on your athletic track. I've seen the pain from walking up the stairs completely gone away even after multiple hours training and playing session.
Help from the leading authority on knee pain
But before I show you this exercise, you should know this: there are many causes for jumpers knee, both obvious and hidden and if you want to prevent it from happening again you should follow a self treatment program which you can find about in the best book on beating patellar tendonitis by Martin Koban:
Single-leg decline board squat
Research suggests that a very effective excercise for curing patellar tendonitis is the decline board single leg squat. This type of exercise puts more preasure on the tendon than on the muscle, causing it to grow and become stronger.
All you need is a board with about 25 degrees angle. You can easily make a board like this yourself, taking a wooden peace and putting one side of it on an elevated surface. For progress, you may squat with additional weight in hands or, following Martin Koban's book suggestion, slightly rotate your body.
Remember, the focus is the descent. Count to five on your way down and use the second leg to assist standing up.
Best knee investment you can get
Possibly you already have a collection of all types and kinds of knee bandages, holders and ropes.
Possibly you spent a lot of time and money on physiotherapy, to get a bit of massage and questionable advices (I got advice: stand on one leg. This is great for stabilizing leg muscles if you forgot how to use legs after an operation, but has nothing to do with patellar tendonitis).
But the best result I've got, and by far the cheapest, was to follow the advices by Mark Kuban in his book. From it you'll learn:
- What causes patellar tendonitis, so you can avoid it and never have knee pain, lose time in recovery not training or not winning because of it.
- How to continue training inspite of patellar tendonitis, so you don't lose your competitive edge and skills
- How long it takes to treat it in each of the 4 differest stages of jumpers knee, so you can keep a proper training plan
- What can you eat for breakfast to help the tendons all over your body, so your tendons will be able to withstand more games
- Get a step-by-step treatment program which you can follow from pain to 100% recovery in the shortest time, so you don't sit on the bench too long
- Answers to the most popular questions regarding jumpers knee, so you can find out all you need to know and get rid of it once and for all
Therefore I highly recommend the book Beating Patellar Tendonitis by Mark Koban. For me it was the best investment in my knees health and all of it for less than 20$

Stabilize image sequence using coarse optical flow estimation. Perform weak image sequence stabilization as described in: D. Park, C. Zitnick, D. Ramanan and P. Dollár "Exploring Weak Stabilization for Motion Feature Extraction", CVPR 2013. The approach stabilizes coarse motion due to camera movement but leaves independent object motions intact. This code performs weak sequence stabilization only (no feature extraction), see section 3.1 of the paper. Please cite the above paper if you end up using the stabilization code. Optical flow is computed between all pairs of frames using opticalFlow.m with params 'pFlow'. Flow across multiple frames is accumulated and flow at integer locations at each stage is obtained either using either nearest neighbor (if type==1) or bilinear interpolation (if type==2) which is slightly more accurate but slower. Finally, all images in I are warped to the last frame of the sequence using the accumulated flows. If type==-1, a homography computed via imagesAlign.m with params pFlow is used instead. If videos have black boundaries use bndThr to ignore dark boundaries for flow estimation (with average pixel values under bndThr). USAGE [J,Vxs,Vys] = imagesAlignSeq( I, pFlow, [type], [bndThr] ) INPUTS I - HxWxN or HxWx3xN input image sequence pFlow - parameters to use for optical flow computation type - [1] interpolation type 1:nearest, 2:bilinear bndThr - [0] fill in black areas around image boundaries OUTPUTS J - HxWxN or HxWx3xN stabilized image sequence Vxs - HxWxN-1 x-components of flow fields Vys - HxWxN-1 y-components of flow fields EXAMPLE I = seqIo(which('peds30.seq'),'toImgs'); I=I(:,:,:,1:15); pFlow={'smooth',1,'radius',25,'type','LK','maxScale',1}; tic, J = imagesAlignSeq( I, pFlow, 1, 20 ); toc playMovie([I J],15,-10,struct('hasChn',1)) EXAMPLE % Requires Caltech Pedestrian Dataset to be installed [pth,ss,vs]=dbInfo; s=randi(length(ss)); v=randi(length(vs{s})); nm=sprintf('%s/videos/set%02i/V%03i.seq',pth,ss(s),vs{s}(v)); f=seqIo(nm,'getinfo'); f=f.numFrames; f=randi(f-30); I=seqIo(nm,'toImgs',[],1,f,f+9); pFlow={'smooth',1,'radius',25,'type','LK','maxScale',1}; tic, J = imagesAlignSeq( I, pFlow, 1, 20 ); toc playMovie([I J],15,-10,struct('hasChn',1)) See also opticalFlow, imtransform2, imagesAlign Piotr's Computer Vision Matlab Toolbox Version 3.24 Copyright 2014 Piotr Dollar.
