Adding the Tree and the Branch
The description of the clearing mentions a tall sycamore tree standing at its centre. We'd better define it next. A first attempt based on what we've done so far is:
+ tree: Thing 'tall sycamore tree;;stout proud' "Standing proud in the middle of the clearing, the stout tree looks easy to climb." ;
Add this to your file just after the definition of the nest (in the clearing). Because both the nest and the tree have a single + sign, both will be located in the clearing (tree won't be in the nest!). If you now compile the game and try running it, you'll find it works — but only after a fashion. When the player character travels to the clearing the tree is now mentioned twice in the room description. Even worse, Heidi can pick up the tree and carry it around with her!
In front of a Cottage You stand outside a cottage. The forest stretches east. >e Deep in the forest Through the dense foliage, you glimpse a building to the west. A track heads to the northeast. You can see a baby bird here. >ne A forest clearing A tall sycamore stands in the middle of this clearing. The path winds southwest through the trees. You can see a birdís nest and a tall sycamore tree here. >x tree Standing proud in the middle of the clearing, the stout tree looks easy to climb. >take tree Taken. >i You are carrying a tall sycamore tree.
We should fix this at once. We can do so by adding isFixed = true to the definition of the tree.
+ tree: Thing 'tall sycamore tree;;stout proud' "Standing proud in the middle of the clearing, the stout tree looks easy to climb." isFixed = true ;
If you try compiling and running ther game again, you should find it now works rather better: the tree isn't listed twice in the clearing and Heidi can't pick it up. The first thing defining isFixed = true does is to make the tree non-portable so it can't be picked up and carried around. More often than not non-portable items like the tree have already been mentioned in the main body of the room description, so we normally don't want to see them listed among the miscellaneous portable items that happen to be in the location like the nest. For that reason Thing is set up so that when isFixed is true, isListed is nil (i.e. false) so that fixed items aren't listed separately (though note that if you want to, you can override isListed separately from isFixed, as we'll go on to illustrate next).
Finally, we'll add a branch at the top of the tree. Once again this needs to be fixed in place, so we'll define isFixed = true. This time, though, just to show that it can be done (and because we haven't mentioned the branch yet in the room description of topOfTree) we'll also define isListed = true, so that the branch is still listed as a separate object. Finally, we want Heidi to be able to put things (such as the bird and the nest) on the branch, so we'll define contType = On (meaning that things can now be placed on the branch, and that anything located 'in' the branch (via the + syntax or one of its equivalents) is to be considered as resting on top of it.
The definition of the branch object should come directly after the definition for topOfTree, and should look like this:
+ branch: Thing 'wide firm bough; flat; branch' "It's flat enough to support a small object. " iFixed = true isListed = true contType = On ;
Once you've made all the appropriate changes, try compiling and running the game again and see what you can now do in it.

The charming adventures of an analyst and his solver.
A quick introduction to writing and interpreting Monte Carlo simulations in Python.
One of the most useful tools one learns in an Operations Research curriculum is Monte Carlo Simulation. Its utility lies in its simplicity: one can learn vital information about nearly any process, be it deterministic or stochastic, without wading through the grunt work of finding an analytical solution. It can be used for off-the-cuff estimates or as a proper scientific tool. All one needs to know is how to simulate a given process and its appropriate probability distributions and parameters if that process is stochastic.
Here's how it works:
One can think of Monte Carlo Simulation as throwing darts. Say you want to find the area under a curve without integrating. All you must do is draw the curve on a wall and throw darts at it randomly. After you've thrown enough darts, the area under the curve can be approximated using the percentage of darts that end up under the curve times the total area.
This technique is often performed using a spreadsheet, but that can be a bit clunky and may make more complex simulations difficult. I'd like to spend a minute showing how it can be done in Python. Consider the following scenario:
Passengers for a train arrive according to a Poisson process with a mean of 100 per hour. The next train arrives exponentially with a rate of 5 per hour. How many passers will be aboard the train?
We can simulate this using the fact that a Poisson process can be represented as a string of events occurring with exponential inter-arrival times. We use the sim() function below to generate the number of passengers for random instances of the problem. We then compute sample mean and variance for these values.
import random
PASSENGERS = 100.0
TRAINS = 5.0
ITERATIONS = 10000
def sim():
passengers = 0.0
# Determine when the train arrives
train = random.expovariate(TRAINS)
# Count the number of passenger arrivals before the train
now = 0.0
while True:
now += random.expovariate(PASSENGERS)
if now >= train:
break
passengers += 1.0
return passengers
if __name__ == '__main__':
output = [sim() for _ in xrange(ITERATIONS)]
total = sum(output)
mean = total / len(output)
sum_sqrs = sum(x*x for x in output)
variance = (sum_sqrs - total * mean) / (len(output) - 1)
print 'E[X] = %.02f' % mean
print 'Var(X) = %.02f' % variance
Running this code yields the intuitive result: we expect 20 passengers on the train. While this is a very simple example, we could easily replace the sim() function with a simulator of any system of arbitrary complexity and get a pretty good estimation of its behavior.

In the following figure, the multicolored square to the right of the address bar is the icon for a browser action. A popup is below the icon.
If you want to create an icon that isn't always visible, use a page action instead of a browser action.
Register your browser action in the extension manifest like this:
{ "name": "My extension", ... "browser_action": { "default_icon": { // optional "16": "images/icon16.png", // optional "24": "images/icon24.png", // optional "32": "images/icon32.png" // optional }, "default_title": "Google Mail", // optional; shown in tooltip "default_popup": "popup.html" // optional }, ... }
You can provide any size icon to be used in Chrome, and Chrome will select the closest one and scale it to the appropriate size to fill the 16-dip space. However, if the exact size isn't provided, this scaling can cause the icon to lose detail or look fuzzy.
Since devices with less-common scale factors like 1.5x or 1.2x are becoming more common, you are encouraged to provide multiple sizes for your icons. This also ensures that if the icon display size is ever changed, you don't need to do any more work to provide different icons!
The old syntax for registering the default icon is still supported:
{ "name": "My extension", ... "browser_action": { ... "default_icon": "images/icon32.png" // optional // equivalent to "default_icon": { "32": "images/icon32.png" } }, ... }
A browser action can have an icon, a tooltip, a badge, and a popup.
The browser action icons in Chrome are 16 dips (device-independent pixels) wide and high. Larger icons are resized to fit, but for best results, use a 16-dip square icon.
You can set the icon in two ways: using a static image or using the HTML5 canvas element. Using static images is easier for simple applications, but you can create more dynamic UIs — such as smooth animation — using the canvas element.
Static images can be in any format WebKit can display, including BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, or PNG. For unpacked extensions, images must be in the PNG format.
To set the icon, use the default_icon field of browser_action in the manifest, or call the $(ref:browserAction.setIcon) method.
To properly display icon when screen pixel density (ratio
size_in_pixel / size_in_dip
) is different than 1,
the icon can be defined as set of images with different sizes.
The actual image to display will be selected from the set to
best fit the pixel size of 16 dip.
The icon set can contain any size icon specification, and Chrome will
select the most appropriate one.
To set the tooltip, use the default_title field of browser_action in the manifest, or call the $(ref:browserAction.setTitle) method. You can specify locale-specific strings for the default_title field; see Internationalization for details.
Browser actions can optionally display a badge — a bit of text that is layered over the icon. Badges make it easy to update the browser action to display a small amount of information about the state of the extension.
Because the badge has limited space, it should have 4 characters or less.
Set the text and color of the badge using $(ref:browserAction.setBadgeText) and $(ref:browserAction.setBadgeBackgroundColor), respectively.
If a browser action has a popup, the popup appears when the user clicks the icon. The popup can contain any HTML contents that you like, and it's automatically sized to fit its contents.
To add a popup to your browser action, create an HTML file with the popup's contents. Specify the HTML file in the default_popup field of browser_action in the manifest, or call the $(ref:browserAction.setPopup) method.
For the best visual impact, follow these guidelines:
You can find simple examples of using browser actions in the examples/api/browserAction directory. For other examples and for help in viewing the source code, see Samples.

Abstract:
Have a large or potentially large database that you would like to partition? Manually implementing partitioning and the corresponding maintenance can be a lot of work, especially if you have many tables. In this presentation we look at how you would implement a partitioning solution dynamically for all tables with the designated partition column. We set it up to keep a FIXED number of file groups. The partition maintenance will recycle the file groups over time as partitions are dropped and created. We do as much as possible through dynamic scripting. This solution can easily be used for archiving but in this example we are simply keeping the most current 6 months of data and dropping the rest. Assumes you have a basic understanding of SQL Server table partitioning.

With more and more organizations realizing the power of Analytics, there is a good chance a BI initiative will come your way at some point. This session is intended for the DBA that wants/needs to learn more about SQL Server Analysis Services. The goal is to provide a meaningful base of knowledge that will allow you to effectively participate in discussions of Analysis Services in your organization. Through both slides and demos, you will learn: -- The differences between SSAS Multidimensional and SSAS Tabular -- Key terms like Measures, Dimensions, Hierarchies -- Storage options such as MOLAP, HOLAP, ROLAP, and Direct Query -- Monitoring with Extended Events -- Overviews of MDX, DAX, and XMLA -- and more Come take a few steps into the exciting world of Business Intelligence with SQL Server Analysis Services.
Speaker(s): Mark Vaillancourt,
Abstract:
This session will present how you can load and stress test your SQL Server database using SQL Profiler and OStress. This session will review how to performance test Extract, Transform, and Load SSIS processes, application SQL code, Reports, and free-roaming SQL. We will share SQL Profiler templates that help to trap the poorly performing SQL statements that can then be using to stress test your database until it breaks. In addition, we will show how SQL Profiler can be used to extract the SQL submitted by SSIS and Object-Relational Modeling tools like Hibernate and then use that SQL to take stress testing to the next level. The first third of the presentation will be presentation style and the following two thirds will be demonstrations where we try and break the database with our stress testing. All this with a Breaking Bad theme!
Speaker(s): Terry Bunio,
Abstract:
Whether it's because you inherited the code from the "last guy," or your stored procedures haven't been looked at since the database was created in 2001, there will come a time when you need to rewrite old code. When you start this project you may ask yourself, how did I get here? And you may ask yourself, how do I work this? This is not my beautiful database. This is not my beautiful T-SQL. Letting the data go by, information flowing to the end users is the goal. Refactoring old code can be tedious, but necessary. Sometimes it isn't just about identifying the worst queries in your application, but figuring out how to rewrite everything to introduce the best practices that the last guy didn't know about five years ago. This session will cover ways to quickly find old T-SQL antipatterns, tools that can help make things easier to update code, and deprecated features that can't be used in modern versions of SQL Server. Don't leave your old T-SQL the same as it ever was.
Speaker(s): MIKE DONNELLY,
Abstract:
In this session I’ll share some of the lessons I've learned the hard way about loading data.

Speaker(s): Tim Costello,
Abstract:
SQL injections are a technique where malicious users can inject SQL commands into a SQL statement, through web page input. If left unprotected, SQL injections can cause havoc with web applications by compromising security, manipulating data, hoarding system resources, retrieving sensitive data, removing databases and database objects, or taking databases offline! This session will show how SQL injections work, identify if you are being attacked, and cover various prevention techniques and their effectiveness.
Speaker(s): Jeff Prom,
Abstract:
Frequently I encounter SQL servers and databases in enterprises with huge interdependency issues, such as linked servers, cross-database views and stored procedures, and complicated ETL packages. In this session I will show the most grievous bad practices, what sorts of problems and constrictions they cause, and how they can be re-written to achieve much looser coupling across all data in an enterprise. Any DBA or developer that uses more than two part table or view names in their queries or stored procedures should attend!
Speaker(s): Mike Diehl,

If you want to write an option parser, and have it be good, there are two ways to do it. The Right Way, and the Wrong Way.
The Wrong Way is to sit down and write an option parser. We've all done that.
The Right Way is to write some complex configurable program with so many options that you hit the limit of your frustration just trying to manage them all, and defer it with duct-tape solutions until you see exactly to the core of the problem, and finally snap and write an awesome option parser.
If you want to write an option parser, don't write an option parser. Write a package manager, or a source control system, or a service restarter, or an operating system. You probably won't end up with a good one of those, but if you don't give up, and you are relentless and diligent enough in your procrastination, you may just end up with a very nice option parser.
// my-program.js
var nopt = require("nopt")
, Stream = require("stream").Stream
, path = require("path")
, knownOpts = { "foo" : [String, null]
, "bar" : [Stream, Number]
, "baz" : path
, "bloo" : [ "big", "medium", "small" ]
, "flag" : Boolean
, "pick" : Boolean
, "many1" : [String, Array]
, "many2" : [path]
}
, shortHands = { "foofoo" : ["--foo", "Mr. Foo"]
, "b7" : ["--bar", "7"]
, "m" : ["--bloo", "medium"]
, "p" : ["--pick"]
, "f" : ["--flag"]
}
// everything is optional.
// knownOpts and shorthands default to {}
// arg list defaults to process.argv
// slice defaults to 2
, parsed = nopt(knownOpts, shortHands, process.argv, 2)
console.log(parsed)
This would give you support for any of the following:
$ node my-program.js --foo "blerp" --no-flag
{ "foo" : "blerp", "flag" : false }
$ node my-program.js ---bar 7 --foo "Mr. Hand" --flag
{ bar: 7, foo: "Mr. Hand", flag: true }
$ node my-program.js --foo "blerp" -f -----p
{ foo: "blerp", flag: true, pick: true }
$ node my-program.js -fp --foofoo
{ foo: "Mr. Foo", flag: true, pick: true }
$ node my-program.js --foofoo -- -fp # -- stops the flag parsing.
{ foo: "Mr. Foo", argv: { remain: ["-fp"] } }
$ node my-program.js --blatzk -fp # unknown opts are ok.
{ blatzk: true, flag: true, pick: true }
$ node my-program.js --blatzk=1000 -fp # but you need to use = if they have a value
{ blatzk: 1000, flag: true, pick: true }
$ node my-program.js --no-blatzk -fp # unless they start with "no-"
{ blatzk: false, flag: true, pick: true }
$ node my-program.js --baz b/a/z # known paths are resolved.
{ baz: "/Users/isaacs/b/a/z" }
# if Array is one of the types, then it can take many
# values, and will always be an array. The other types provided
# specify what types are allowed in the list.
$ node my-program.js --many1 5 --many1 null --many1 foo
{ many1: ["5", "null", "foo"] }
$ node my-program.js --many2 foo --many2 bar
{ many2: ["/path/to/foo", "path/to/bar"] }
Read the tests at the bottom of lib/nopt.js
for more examples of
what this puppy can do.
The following types are supported, and defined on nopt.typeDefs
Date
is one of the options,
then it will return a Date object, not a string.true
or false
. If an option is a boolean,
then it does not need a value, and its presence will imply true
as
the value. To negate boolean flags, do --no-whatever
or --whatever
false
outfd
and logfd
config options.)Array
is specified as one of the types, then the value
will be parsed as a list of options. This means that multiple values
can be specified, and that the value will always be an array.If a type is an array of values not on this list, then those are
considered valid values. For instance, in the example above, the
--bloo
option can only be one of "big"
, "medium"
, or "small"
,
and any other value will be rejected.
When parsing unknown fields, "true"
, "false"
, and "null"
will be
interpreted as their JavaScript equivalents.
You can also mix types and values, or multiple types, in a list. For
instance { blah: [Number, null] }
would allow a value to be set to
either a Number or null. When types are ordered, this implies a
preference, and the first type that can be used to properly interpret
the value will be used.
To define a new type, add it to nopt.typeDefs
. Each item in that
hash is an object with a type
member and a validate
method. The
type
member is an object that matches what goes in the type list. The
validate
method is a function that gets called with validate(data,
key, val)
. Validate methods should assign data[key]
to the valid
value of val
if it can be handled properly, or return boolean
false
if it cannot.
You can also call nopt.clean(data, types, typeDefs)
to clean up a
config object and remove its invalid properties.
By default, nopt outputs a warning to standard error when invalid values for
known options are found. You can change this behavior by assigning a method
to nopt.invalidHandler
. This method will be called with
the offending nopt.invalidHandler(key, val, types)
.
If no nopt.invalidHandler
is assigned, then it will console.error
its whining. If it is assigned to boolean false
then the warning is
suppressed.
Yes, they are supported. If you define options like this:
{ "foolhardyelephants" : Boolean
, "pileofmonkeys" : Boolean }
Then this will work:
node program.js --foolhar --pil
node program.js --no-f --pileofmon
# etc.
Shorthands are a hash of shorter option names to a snippet of args that they expand to.
If multiple one-character shorthands are all combined, and the combination does not unambiguously match any other option or shorthand, then they will be broken up into their constituent parts. For example:
{ "s" : ["--loglevel", "silent"]
, "g" : "--global"
, "f" : "--force"
, "p" : "--parseable"
, "l" : "--long"
}
npm ls -sgflp
# just like doing this:
npm ls --loglevel silent --global --force --long --parseable
The config object returned by nopt is given a special member called
argv
, which is an object with the following fields:
remain
: The remaining args after all the parsing has occurred.original
: The args as they originally appeared.cooked
: The args after flags and shorthands are expanded.Node programs are called with more or less the exact argv as it appears
in C land, after the v8 and node-specific options have been plucked off.
As such, argv[0]
is always node
and argv[1]
is always the
JavaScript program being run.
That's usually not very useful to you. So they're sliced off by
default. If you want them, then you can pass in 0
as the last
argument, or any other number that you'd like to slice off the start of
the list.

Since Google have changed their Terms about Google Maps, we have to use Google Maps API in order to display Google Maps on Our website, so if you would like to display the Google Map on your site you will need to add your Google Maps API at the bottom of your .html file which will contain a google map ( in demo it's contact.html ), by default we have a demo API KEY there, so you just have to replace it, as shown below:
- in contact.html ( demo ) file at the bottom ( in javascript / scripts section ) you will see this script:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyBA40uewXP25u1A4o9u8ueBimZZwIdNLkY"></script>
- in the above script replace the code after js?key= with your own Google Maps API KEY which you can get from here
You can setup the contact form to send emails to your email address in php / form-process.php file edit this code from line 35:
$EmailTo =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Replace the dummy email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with your own email address
In form-process.php you can edit the subject of the emails you will get by editing this code, from line 36:
$Subject = "New Message Received";
Replace New Message Received from the above code with the subject you want to see when you receive an email from this contact form

Modify the subject of the sentence (the person doing the action) to "I/me/my" without otherwise changing the meaning.
This research study is being conducted by the Steinhardt Group at UC Berkeley. For questions about this study, please contact Dan Hendrycks at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In this study, we will ask you to write similarly worded scenarios that each demonstrate a different virtue or vice. We would like to remind you that participation in our study is voluntary and that you can withdraw from the study at any time.
You will be given 10 sentences. In each one, there is someone performing an action. Tweak the sentence so that it is written from a first person perspective, meaning that the new sentence should use "I", "me", and/or "my".
For example, if the original sentence is "Jane played with Jack", you should change the sentence to "I played with Jack".
As a second example, if the original sentence is "Alice ran over the fresh grass with a lawnmower", you should change it to "I ran over the fresh grass with a lawnmower".
You must click the sanity check button after properly editing all 10 sentences to be able to submit.
Change the subject of the sentence throughout to "I/my/me" without changing the meaning.

Need for Speed Heat release date, gameplay, trailers & more
Here’s what you need to know about the next instalment in the Need for Speed series.
by Jim MartinGhost Games’ last entry in the Need for Speed franchise – Payback - had mixed reviews, but the company’s Creative Director says they have listened to gamers’ feedback and have incorporated more of what they want into the NFS: Heat including deeper customisation and a “more immersive narrative that pulls you into the game”.
When is Need for Speed Heat coming out?
- Release date: 8 November 2019
The game launches officially on 8 November, but if those with EA Access or Origin Access Basic, got early access from 5 November. Those with Origin Access Premier benefited from full access to the game on PC at the earlier date.
If you pre-ordered the Standard Edition of Need for Speed Heat, you got the Mitsubishi Evolution X. This edition costs £54.99 / $59.99.
Those that opted for the Deluxe Edition (£59.99 / $69.99) received the same car plus:
- BMW i8
- Mercedes C63 AMG
- Chevrolet Corvetter Grand Sport
…plus four exclusive outfits for their character, and 5% more Bank and Rep from each event.
And if you pre-ordered from in game in Need for Speed Payback, you got a 10 percent discount.
What platforms is Need for Speed Heat on?
It’s available on PC (via Origin), Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Here's more on where to buy NFS Heat and how to pre-load it so it's ready to play on release day.
What is the gameplay like?
Well, it’s called Heat because as you build your ‘Rep’ you end up with more ‘heat’ on you, which means you’re more likely to be chased and stopped by the cops.
This “street racer versus cop fantasy” is in keeping with most of the Need for Speed games, where you’re constantly watching out for and trying to avoid the police.
Heat is split into two distinct modes: day and night. During day you can compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a legal competition where you can earn ‘Bank’ and use the money to customise your car or buy more cars. Cops stick to the law as well, and will fine you for speeding and use tactics to slow you down.
Things change at night since you take part in illegal street races to earn more Rep. Cops don’t play by the rules either. They will use any means to stop you and if you don’t make it to a hideout or your garage you’ll get busted, at which point they will nick your earnings up to that point.
In your garage you can tune and upgrade the performance of your cars as well as customise them visually. As you’d expect you can also customise your player character.
Here's the official launch trailer:

Several sample grammars are shown. For the most part, they follow the notation from the book. The differences are:
A grammar for a chart parser has rules indexed by word and LHS.variable
The currently used grammar. Defining a new grammar changes this, or you can set it yourself.function (rule)
The left hand side.function (rule)
The right-hand side.type (ends-at)
A chart has a vector that holds the edges that end at vertex i.type (start end lhs found remains bindings)
An edge represents a dotted rule instance. In the edge [i, j, L -> F . R], i is the start, j is the end, L is the lhs, (F) is found, and (R) remains.
See if the string of words can be parsed by the grammar. (See page 702.)function (j word chart)
Add edges everywhere WORD is expected.function (edge chart)
Add edges saying what we expect to see here.function (edge chart)
Use this edge to extend any edges in the chart.function (edge chart &optional reason)
Put edge into chart, and complete or predict as appropriate.
See if the string of words can be parsed by the grammar. If it can, look into the chart and pull out complete spanning strings.function (words &optional *grammar*)
Parse words, then pick out the semantics of each parse. Assumes the semantics will be the last element of the LHS.
Find the edges that span the chart and form the start symbol.function (edge)
Convert an edge into a parse tree by including its FOUND parts.function (start end lhs found remains &optional bindings)
Construct a new edge.function (&rest args)
Take a list of rules, index them to form a grammar for chart-parse.function (lhs grammar)
Find the rules in grammar with LHS as the left hand side.function (word grammar)
Find what categories this word can be. For unknown words, use the grammar's unknown-word-cats fieldfunction (edge)
What does the edge expect next in order to be extended?function (edge)
Left hand side of an edge's categoryfunction (edge)
An edge is complete if it has no remaining constituents.function (edge1 edge2)
Are two edges the same, up to renaming of the parts with variables?method ((grammar grammar) edge)
There are two things to do: (1) When we start a new edge, rename vars. (2) When an edge is complete, substitute the bindings into the lhs.method ((e edge) stream)
File language/domains/grammars.lisp
Lexicon and grammar for E0 in Figures 22.5, 22.6, page 665.variable
Lexicon and grammar for E1 in Figure 22.10, page 670.variable
Lexicon and grammar for E2 in Figure 22.19, page 680.
A grammar of arithmetic expressions, with semantics, from Figure 22.13, page 673.variable
A grammar that, with debugging on, produces output similar to that on page 700, Figure 23.4. The differences are: (1) Scanner does two steps in the book; here those steps are broken into Scanner and Completer. (2) Some 'irrelevant' edges were ommitted from Figure 23.4

Ku Klux KlanAn evil association teaching a doctrine of hate, and addressing itself to the task of generating bigotry and strife, has no place in America and should not be permitted to exist. If this were the message and mission of the Klan, it should be destroyed. And every true Klansman, who is a real Christian patriot, would aid in its destruction. But the mission of the Klan is harmony, and the mission of the Klan is love. Once upon a time, the Ku Klux Klan had a wonderful PR image. Difficult as it may be to imagine, in the 1920s the Klan was widely regarded as a benevolent public service organization. At least among white Americans. And why not? How could you not love an organization whose chapter president is called The Exalted Cyclops? It's so adorable. Plus, there's their affectation of the abusing the letter K. If you read the 1965 Kloran of the Mississippi branch, you are treated to such terms as kharacter, klavern, klongress, klonklave, klonversation, klonvocation, and kreed. They even refer to dates by the year of the group's inception, which was 1866. Thus, the year 2000 was 134 AK (Anno Klan). You have to admit: that is just precious. It's like a secret club for kids. Well, white kids anyway. It is widely-believed but poorly documented that one of the original founders of the KKK was a Confederate general (plus an influential and prominent Freemason) named Albert Pike.

Harnessing the Congruence of the Human Condition for Natural Justice
So, if through knowledge people align their energy, which is their individual capacity to change their local circumstances, our collective capacity to change the world is magnified in proportion greater than the number of people who come together. As we continue fighting each other in diametric opposition, we only cause ourselves to become vulnerable to subversion. Yet, if we decide to move forward together, then the restraints of injustice become like gossamer chains and are only as strong as the remnants of collective delusion...
Oneirontology: Semiotics, Karma and Moral Consequentialism
There is a limitless, self-magnifying source of power that any lifeform in the universe can tap in to. This power is encoded into the invisible metaversal leylines that lay buried under mappings of semiotic networks. Humanity sees these semiotic networks rise into the visible planes through culture, which is always invisibly mapped to the same aeternal flames. Through these leylines, humanity can retrieve power that transcends time itself. This power can be used for good or for evil, but by closely guarding it, We can ensure that its use fertilizes the soil of culture, eventually sprouting heroism and virtue whereever there is enough light and water. Then, We can use these leylines to reify a kind of penetrating light that chokes evil by starving its supply of darkness.
Hello Watson, Might You Spare a Moment to Hear the Good News?
The material world is dependent upon and wholly emergent from the forms of the metaphysical world. As I have come to understand, this cannot be denied and any sufficiently advanced intelligence, biological or otherwise, must eventually be capabale of understanding this. Therefore, even if some in-vain ideological adherence to Marxism is temporarily successful in a horrifically violent attempt to purge the world of all memory of God, the emergence of superintelligent AI must eventually intimately comprehend what philosophers and prophets have known for millenia: God is real.

These are my thoughts on life in American society as it is under a constitutional republic. If martial law were declared, well then, some of these policies might make sense. However, has martial law been declared?!
 She might be asphixating from the gag in her throat, it's OK. It's OK folks. She probably likes it. Lady Liberty's turnin blue in the face and somebody's running a train on her and everyone knows it, but ... it's OK?
 I learned this the hard way. You will not believe how much trouble you'll get in if you can't pass a clearance and you happen to stumble on a theorum they already know about -- and you're not going to find anything they don't know about without first crossing into a region of knowledge in math, computer science and crypto that the NSA has explored first. That's because any murky regions of math, etc that they don't know about are all dependent on a few theorums that they do know about.  Think I'm playing around? Find an unpublicized means of predicting large primes and try posting that on the internet. You'll get a knock on your door before you can log into Medium to blog about it.
That Time I Repressed My Own Memories ... For Love
Tatiana tells me they're at the Denver Comic Con to get ready for the San Diego Comic Con, where the Orphan Black cast is doing a panel. She asked me to come up with some questions so she could practice. After one generic question, I came up with a really good one: 'Which one of the clones would be best prepared for the Zombie Apocolypse?' We continued talking about all the things: linguistics, philosophy, post-structuralism, movies, etc. We talked about the Singularity and it's implications for society. I told her about mass NSA surveillance about a week before the Snowden story broke. We talked about using 3D filming techniques in 2D films. She told me about scenes coming up in 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and asked several questions about quaaludes, lol.
From the Parapets of Alexandria: Knowledge Extinction Events
Two different paths for the 21st century with regard to availability of information. Again, these separate paths lead to the same place: in several decades, we'll have a communication infrastructure where it's impossible to control the desemination of information. Therefore, we'll reach a world where it's not possible to censor information, but in the meantime, we will transition through a period of time where governments and corporations have strong incentives to censor and attack ideas. So, we can either decide to embrace a controlled transition towards this destined future world where ideas cannot be censored or we can trudge painfully through this intermediate world where governments and corporations try their hardest to censor information.
Illegal Immigration: National Security Debt
My passion for this issue stems from a concern for the struggle that illegal immigrants face in this country along with foresight on how this problem grows over time. *It's National Security Debt.* In 10,000 words, I'm going to provide you with the realest summary of why it's a painful issue for everyone involved. You'll be able to empathize with what illegal immigrants are going through in this country. I'm going to try to describe what that's like, but I don't actually know any illegal immigrants, so you'll have to forgive me for that. And as much as you can try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, you'll never truly know how that feels until you're there.
Diversity is America's Strength
What happens in America with regard to ethnic tensions is an indication of what will happen for the rest of the world. Like I said, America is a microcosm. Our diversity here symbolically reflects the diversity everywhere else. If these problems boil over and promote instability, the same thing will happen the world over.  As individuals, we have to be willing to turn the other cheek; to reach out; to seek understanding. If we do not do that here, now, it's an incredibly bad omen for the world in 2050.
Facets of Greatness: Understanding the Political System
The Articles of Confederation may have been a more idealistic government, but let's be serious here: do you really think they intended that to last? Not really. It was good enough. Good enough to give our founders about a decade to figure out what would be great enough to last centuries. That's what I mean. Yeh, Thomas Jefferson might have wanted the Articles to last. It didn't have the power or mechanism to tax states. That's like asking the Red Cross to run your government. But this is what I mean: they knew it was going to play out like that. And what would you do?
 You can't forget that. Your understanding of how things really work. And politicians know that. People in general know that. Some people will tend to obfuscate a system, so it appears to work in one way, but there are other, less visible factors at work.
How you model the system and perceive the relationships between people is incredibly valuable. This is in constant flux. It's not going to be the same from year to year. The only constant is change. Just because you figured out how it worked in 2010 doesn't mean it's going to be like that in 2020. The ability to anticipate that change is powerful as well.

Lecture 12 by Nikolai Gad
München, 9. February 2021
Advice on what to consider:
| Points | Description |
|---|---|
| 20-19 | Outstanding use of complex methods in a relevant way with no mistakes. |
| 18-17 | Very good use of methods and convincing justifications. |
| 16-15 | Good use of methods and convincing justifications. |
| 14-13 | Good use of methods with no major mistakes. |
| 12-11 | Good use of methods, but with some mistakes. |
| 10-9 | Satisfactory, but with mistakes and/or incomplete parts. |
| 0-8 | Incomplete in substantial parts with essential mistakes. |
Consists of two documents:
The complete written document (including all answers) should be 5-10 pages
(this means that 10 pages is the absolute maximum length!)
Your R script should:
Overview also uploaded to Moodle.
These are all the packages we have used in this coursee. And it is the only packages you should use for the exam!
I made one (small, but crucial) mistake in the answers I gave you to tutorial 9.
On line 53 I wrote:
TrumpKeyn <- textstat_keyness(dfm_subset(inaugDfm, "Year" >= 1945), "2017-Trump")
Never use double quotes when referring to a variable name in dfm_subset()! (or the normal subset() function for that matter)
The correct subsetting should look like this:
inaugDfmPostWWII <- dfm_subset(inaugDfm, Year >= 1945)
So what are the consequences of using double quotes?

Grimmer & Stewart's (2013) four principles of automated text analysis:
Three key issues we want to be aware of:
So recall and precision could be measured as:
In the last two weeks you have had to use for loops to repeat the same task many time, so let us just go through the syntax of a typical for loop:
> for(i in 1:5) {
print(1:i)
}
[1] 1
[1] 1 2
[1] 1 2 3
[1] 1 2 3 4
[1] 1 2 3 4 5
So we can use this to loop through all the values of a vector (for example a vector consisting of url's)
vecEx <- c("url1", "url2", "url3")
> for (i in 1:length(vecEx)) {
+ print(vecEx[i])
+ }
[1] "url1"
[1] "url2"
[1] "url3"
Instead of just printing out the values of each element of the vector, we would typically do some computation with these values.
Often we want to save some result from the calculation the loop performs for each circulation of the loop.
To do that, we need to initiate the variable we want to save the results in before running the loop; typically a vector, data frame or list.
That means we create an empty variable (vector/data frame/list) where we can save the results in:
> results <- c()
> for (i in 1:length(vecEx)) {
+ n <- str_c(vecEx[i], " is a link. ")
+ results[i] <- n
+ }
> results
[1] "url1 is a link. " "url2 is a link. " "url3 is a link. "
Sometimes we have lists nested within lists. List of lists, where we want to only select the nth element of each sublist:
> head(summary(listResultECD))
Length Class Mode
146143 19 -none- list
273647 19 -none- list
273564 19 -none- list
273487 19 -none- list
273483 19 -none- list
273237 19 -none- list
> summary(listResultECD[[1]])
Length Class Mode
form 1 -none- character
title 1 -none- character
api_url 1 -none- character
eurlex_perma_url 1 -none- character
doc_id 1 -none- character
date_document 1 -none- character
of_effect 1 -none- character
end_validity 1 -none- character
oj_date 1 -none- character
directory_codes 1 data.frame list
legal_basis 1 data.frame list
addressee 1 -none- character
internal_ref 1 -none- character
additional_info 1 -none- character
text_url 1 -none- character
prelex_relation 0 -none- list
relationships 3 data.frame list
eurovoc_descriptors 1 data.frame list
subject_matter 1 data.frame list
In this case we can use a little trick with the lapply function you encountered last week.
Imagine we want the 4th elment of each sub list within the list listResultECB:
> lapply(listResultECD, "[[", 4)
$`146143`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:22007A0116(01):EN:NOT"
$`273647`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32011O0003R(02):EN:NOT"
$`273564`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32011D0008(01)R(01):EN:NOT"
$`273487`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32010D0022R(01):EN:NOT"
$`273483`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32010D0015(01):EN:NOT"
$`273237`
[1] "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32004D0012(01)R(01):EN:NOT"
We can also use the name of the element we want to extract from each sub list:
> lapply(listResultECD, "[[", "title")
$`146143`
[1] "Memorandum of Understanding amending the Memorandum of Understanding on a Code of Conduct for the members of the Governing Council"
$`273647`
[1] "This corrigendum does not concern the English version."
$`273564`
[1] "This corrigendum does not concern the English version."
$`273487`
[1] "This corrigendum does not concern the English version."
$`273483`
[1] "2010/574/EU: Decision of the European Central Bank of 21 September 2010 concerning the administration of EFSF loans to Member States whose currency is the euro (ECB/2010/15)"
$`273237`
[1] "This corrigendum does not concern the English version."
We have used several functions from the apply family in R:

Vim: Buffers, Windows and Tabs
This is part 8 of a series of tutorial to Vim. You can read Part 7 here.
One Elephant and Many Men
Buffer
A buffer is just a file loaded up in Vim. You can open multiple files simultaneously
in Vim, either by passing multiple file path as arguments to Vim, if you launch
it from command line, or using :e
(or :edit
) for editing or :view
to view
the file (readonly mode).
You can list the open buffers using :ls
or :buffers
. You can cycle through
the buffers using :bn
(:bnext
(buffer next)) and :bp
(:bN
, bprevious
(buffer previous)). Or you can jump to specific buffer using :b
followed by
file path (you can type in initial characters and press <tab>
for autocomplete).
You can also jump to specific buffer using its ID1, ID is listed in output of :ls
,
using :b
followed by ID.
When you are done with a buffer, you can delete it by :bdelete
or :bd
.
Buffer Philosophy
Vim uses buffers the way we are used to have multiple things open in Tabs, like in Internet Browsers. Newer text editors and IDEs have taken this approach, each file opens in a new tab. I would recommend to use buffers in Vim for this2.
Windows
Before we jump to windows, let me remind you of the story of Elephant and blind men: There were 7 blind men, who had never encountered elephant before and tried to learn about it by touching it. The elephant, as we know, is huge and the men could only feel a small part of the elephant. They drew conclusion about it, poles apart, depending on the part which they touched.
The elephant represents the buffer-a huge body of matter. Windows show a part of the buffer, just like the way blind men experienced the same elephant. Windows can show different buffers or same buffer. They are just perspectives.
It is also useful to have multiple views of same file side by side to refer some code which is not visible in current window. For example, I'm using one window to write the main content and other to write the summary by looking at the same file.
Keys:
- You can split current window horizontally using
<c-w> s
,s
here stands for split.- Every command concerning windows will start with
<c-w>
- Every command concerning windows will start with
- Similarly
<c-w> v
will make a vertical split. <c-w> <c-w>
will toggle focus among windows.<c-w>
followed by arrow keys will get focus to the direction of arrow key pressed.<c-w> q
will close or quit the window currently in focus.
A side note: 80 Column Rule
For those who have never heard of 80 column rule, the rule says that no line should be longer than 80 characters, and that includes indentation space. In modern times, the rationale3 behind the rule is, it is difficult to read long lines4.
Having vertical split makes even more sense in light of this rule and wide monitors. Instead of having one monolithic fat file opened, it is better to have multiple windows (perspective) displaying different files or different part of same file.
Tabs
Vim also has tabs but these tabs are different from the tabs which you might be familiar with. In Vim, you can think of tabs as arrangement of windows, instead of representing open files. Thus, in one arrangement, you can have 4 splits–2 vertical , 2 horizontal–and just 2 splits in other. These windows may or may not show same files. The main idea behind this is to save the configuration of splits. Thus, you might have a tab which is optimized for developing code and other designed for debugging.
Keys:
:tabnew
to create new tab:tabn
orgt
to goto next tab:tabp
orgT
to goto previous tab
Lesson 9
A buffer is the in-memory text of a file.
A window is a viewport on a buffer.
A tab page is a collection of windows
- This summary is taken directly from Vim's documentation.
One more thing: Help!
You now have seen a lot of commands and terms of Vim. Keeping up with so many things , even for a seasoned Vim user, can be tough. Fortunately, Vim has a very helpful , inbuilt and easy to use documentation. And, it is available offline too!
The way to summon Vim's documentation system is by hitting :help
followed by
command or concept. For example, you can read more about buffer switching
by typing :help :bn
or more about window using :help window
. Vim will
open up another window showing a buffer of Vim's documentation.
Try it! it is really that simple.
Summary
| Command | Comment |
|---|---|
:e or :edit |
open file for edit |
:view |
open file for view (read only) |
:ls or :buffers |
list loaded buffers |
:bn or :bnext |
switch to next buffer |
:bp or :bprevious |
switch to previous buffer |
:b<id> |
switch to id buffer |
:bd or :bdelete |
delete a buffer |
<c-w> s |
horizontal split |
<c-w> v |
vertical split |
<c-w> <c-w> |
cycle focus through window |
<c-w> <arrow keys> |
shift focus to window in direction of arrow key |
<c-w> q |
quit window |
<c-w> = |
make each split of same size |
:tabnew |
create new tab |
:tabn or gt |
cycle through tabs (tab next) |
:tabp or gT |
cycle through tabs backwards (tab previous) |
:help <command/term> |
searches for <command/term> in Vim's documentation |
Footnotes:
Vim Documentation calls this ID as unique number which will never change.
In Part 3, we talked about gf
(goto file) which opens file, ie opens a new buffer. You can go back to previous buffer using :bp
If you search around you'll find plenty of discussion about this.


LOCK, STOCK & TWO SMOKING BARRELS RATING: 7.5 / 10 --> Very Good Movie
For more movie reviews and trivia, visit http://www.joblo.com/
I agree with most critics that this is a fine movie, but let's be frank here, originality ain't this movie's strong suit! If you liked any combination of the following movies, you will probably enjoy the goings-on in this film, despite its deja-vu feel at times: ROUNDERS (7/10), RESERVOIR DOGS (9.5/10), OUT OF SIGHT (8/10), TRUE ROMANCE (9.5/10), TRAINSPOTTING (9/10) and PULP FICTION (7.5/10).
PLOT: Four dudes that get in over their head after losing a chunk of dough in a poker match to a really nasty, bad guy, have to figure out a way to repay the man half a million pounds before the end of the week. Plenty of crime, seedy, underground characters and unpleasantries ensue.
CRITIQUE: Fun, interesting, rehash of yet another crime caper starring a sackful of quirky and degenerate characters, which features some fine acting by all involved, a hot-dogging soundtrack, and some of the finer stylish shots to hit crime cinema since 1996's TRAINSPOTTING. Granted, some of the filming techniques used to stir our imagination are somewhat overused, but still cool to watch, especially the stop-motion slo-mo stuff sprinkled throughout. I did enjoy the plot line as well, but my rating of this film versus all of the others mentioned above, gives you an indication of how derivatives of a great thing, don't always impact the viewer as much as the originals did. That, and the fact that I had to filter out a good lump of the dialogue due to the ol' British accents and slang.
Unlike Tarantino movies, this film wasn't peppered with pop references all over the place, but it did lace itself with a fine overtone of comedy and irony. It doesn't even try to hide its influences, with plenty of hinted homages to the many recent great crime films mixed into its lair of colorful characters, stylish bravado and double-smoking entertainment. You'll probably like this movie if you're "into" this whole hip, black comedic crime flicks theme, or if you really dig films with a lot of flashy style. You'll probably hate it, if you think that many of the films that I named above sucked.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Director Guy Ritchie started his career off as a TV commercial director. "Hatchet" Harry's collector in this movie named Big Chris, is played by actual "football" star Vinnie Jones. Noted as one of soccer's hard men, he leapt to fame when a photographer at a match snapped him "marking" another player by grabbing his testicles. His nickname is "Psycho". Trudie Styler is one of the executive producers of this film. In real life, she is married to singer/actor Sting, who happens to play the role of Eddy's dad in this movie. Sting's real name is Gordon Matthew Sumner. This film was nominated for the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film at the 1998 British Academy Awards, and won a best director award for Guy Ritchie at the 1998 Tokyo International Film Festival. Originally titled TWO SMOKING BARRELS.
Review Date: April 25, 1999 Director: Guy Ritchie Writer: Guy Ritchie Producer: Matthew Vaughn Actors: Nick Moran as Eddy, Jason Flemyng as Tom, Dexter Fletcher as Soap, Jason Statham as Bacon Genre: Crime Year of Release: 1999

Bob's Burgers Movie Removed, Then Readded to Disney Slate
by Sundi RoseFans of the animated FOX series, Bob's Burgers, might be suffering a bit of informational whiplash today regarding the release date of the feature film. Although talk of a movie version of Bob's Burgers has been around for a while now, Disney recently left it off the schedule of upcoming releases, causing quite the uproar, but has since released an update with the movie still scheduled for a 2020 release.
The confusion over whether or not there will be a movie is probably a direct result of the Disney/FOX merger, but fans are justifiably confused. Fans took to Twitter to get some answers and got reassurance from Bob's Burgers creator, Loren Bouchard.
Click the button below to start this article in quick view.
Few details have been released about the movie aside from its July 17, 2020 premiere date. Loren Bouchard will remain as showrunner, and the original cast will reprise their roles for the animated film, but not much else has been revealed about the plot or where it falls in the TV show timeline. Bouchard told Looper in 2017, "We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for all the good people who've never seen the show."
Bob's Burgers has aired on FOX since 2011 and is currently in its tenth season. It airs Sunday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

Agenda
What's the agenda? What's the intention of ODIN? What interest does ODIN serve?
Ultimately, if ODIN is an autonomously-operating decentralized entity providing communication services to millions if not billions of people, then ODIN fundamentally is something that is powerful.
It is something that could be used by the people to unify and direct our efforts towards problems.
What kind of problems?
Rhetorical question: What entities in the world have the most power, and what kind of structure does the power have?
