public class UserCredentialsConnectionFactoryAdapter extends java.lang.Object implements ConnectionFactory, QueueConnectionFactory, TopicConnectionFactory, InitializingBean
ConnectionFactory
, applying the
given user credentials to every standard createConnection()
call,
that is, implicitly invoking createConnection(username, password)
on the target. All other methods simply delegate to the corresponding methods
of the target ConnectionFactory.
Can be used to proxy a target JNDI ConnectionFactory that does not have user
credentials configured. Client code can work with the ConnectionFactory without
passing in username and password on every createConnection()
call.
In the following example, client code can simply transparently work with the preconfigured "myConnectionFactory", implicitly accessing "myTargetConnectionFactory" with the specified user credentials.
<bean id="myTargetConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean"> <property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jms/mycf"/> </bean> <bean id="myConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jms.connection.UserCredentialsConnectionFactoryAdapter"> <property name="targetConnectionFactory" ref="myTargetConnectionFactory"/> <property name="username" value="myusername"/> <property name="password" value="mypassword"/> </bean>
If the "username" is empty, this proxy will simply delegate to the standard
createConnection()
method of the target ConnectionFactory.
This can be used to keep a UserCredentialsConnectionFactoryAdapter bean
definition just for the option of implicitly passing in user credentials
if the particular target ConnectionFactory requires it.

Supercars drivers grapple with tough Newcastle circuit, weather conditions
by James PaveyThe Newcastle Street Circuit may only be into its third year, but it has already thrown a spanner in the works for drivers as they continue to grapple with the challenging layout and trying conditions.
Champion-elect Scott McLaughlin pipped David Reynolds in the opening practice session, but the blustery conditions even caught out the Shell V-Power Racing driver midway through the 30-minute hit out.
The Turn 11 hairpin has been narrowed to enhance overtaking opportunities at the circuit, but even the most minor of re-profiling changes saw McLaughlin one of many to have a moment at the turn.

Doesn’t get closer than that! Whincup leads Newcastle practice by just 0.0057s
Drama: McLaughlin fastest in opening Newcastle practice despite hairy moment
‘That’s our full focus’: The ‘other’ championship up for grabs
Nick Percat’s crash at the Turn 7 left-hander proved the session’s flashpoint as the #8 Timken ZB Commodore nudged the barrier, leaving the car with cosmetic damage.
Finding and pushing the limit is the key question when it comes to street circuits, and McLaughlin found that harder than most at the previous street event at Surfers Paradise, when he was hospitalised following a major qualifying shunt that wrote off his Ford Mustang.
Speaking after first practice at the Coates Hire Newcastle 500 on Friday, McLaughlin admitted his Holden rivals – primarily the Red Bull Holden squad vying for the teams’ title – may continue to find more pace as the weekend rolls on.
“They’re strong at street circuits, most of them down pit lane [are],” he told the broadcast.
“Their added features are going to help them under brakes and a few other things too. It’ll be interesting, the weekend. I’m feeling good, the car felt good.

However, when asked if he may reign in the aggression at another tough street circuit following his Gold Coast nightmare, he simply answered: “Two more races, man. Two more races to win.
“The team and the supporters we have, I wanna go out there and do the best job I can.
 If I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be doing my job.”
The track will continue to evolve across the weekend, and Kelly Racing drivers Rick Kelly and Andre Heimgartner – who finished 10th and 22nd respectively in the session – discussed the difficult nature of the circuit.
“It’s certainly a track that requires full commitment, there’s no doubt about that,” Kelly said.
“I think everyone’s already had a near miss or two with the concrete walls. It’s very difficult to piece a complete lap around here.”
Heimgartner said: “We really struggled to get confidence in the car, whether we’re too stiff on the springs or stuff like that. At the moment, just having no confidence to bleed off the brake and turn and carry the speed.
“The difference [at Turn 11] interrupts your flow a lot, before you could flow it in one arch, whereas now you’ve got to go down to first gear to get around there. It’ll be interesting for the racing.”
IRWIN Racing’s Mark Winterbottom added: “Very tricky day here, very windy. Obviously with the beach, a lot of sand coming onto the track.
“Two 30-minute sessions, so quite short. It’s a challenging day.”
The second practice session saw tiny margins at the top, with Jamie Whincup pipping Cameron Waters by just 0.0057s.
Waters said he was happy after suffering a car issue in Practice 1, but understands how the circuit can bite even if he managed to improve session on session.
“There’s a little bit more in it, through [Turns] 5 to 9, if you get that first one wrong, it just carries on to the next, and the next, and the next,” he explained.
“There’s still a bit in my lap, but everyone probably has the same story.”

A really neat post from Cameron about list functions in CFML and their usage. I especially like the way he identifies lists (sentences, text lines, paragraphs, etc...) and uses the functions to perform coding tasks.


[Gecode] One constraint = multiple propagators
Christian Schulte
schulte at imit.kth.se
Tue Apr 20 16:35:48 CEST 2004
Actually, I just submitted a paper the other day that works that out. As the
paper is still under review, I'll just send it to Guido, other people
interested, please get to my be Email.
The key idea (which is already supported in Gecode) is that a propagator can
find out about the event which has triggered it. However what is not yet
done is that also the variable is known. But typically one can emulate that
by putting some state into a propahator.
If you look for an example look to the #ifedf STAGED_PROPAGATORS part in
int/distinct/dom.icc

Subject: [Gecode] One constraint = multiple propagators
Hi!
We have implemented some constraints as multiple propagators, one for each
propagation rule, to make them react to more specific modification events.
This raises two questions:
* Efficiency: Multiple propagators need more memory for dependencies and
more
time during copying. This can become really expensive, as we have seen for
the intersection constraint. Should we make different versions of
constraints
available, one that does everything in a single propagator, and one that
reacts to specific events? Any idea how to find out what makes more sense?
* Entailment: How do we check that the whole constraint is entailed, or
replace several propagators by a simpler one? Example: A selection
constraint
that notices that the selector variable is determined could be replaced by
just a union or whatever. We could either check for entailment in every
propagator, and let only one of them create the replacement propagator(s),
or
have some common variable that they use to communicate (again quite
expensive...)
Another thing that is not quite clear to us is whether there is any way for
a
propagator to find out which variables really triggered what propagation
conditions. This could be used to use a single propagator for multiple
propagation rules.
Regards,
Guido

My iPod died. I'd like to replace it, and I've become disinterested in Apple and Apple products. What should I get? I'd like:
And I guess anything after that is just icing. Ogg would be nice, but honestly I've pretty much given up on it -- MP3 is just too Good Enough. Video is utterly uninteresting. Radio would be nice. Using removable storage instead of internal storage is interesting; is it practical?
Opinions much appreciated.
i've an archos gmini 402. it's linux compatible in that it mounts as an external usb drive if desired. i can't say that i'd recommend it as yet because the hard drive died and I had to RMA it.
When it did work i was quite fond of it.
I have a Samsung YP-F1 512MB player. They also have a 1GB version, but the local store only had the 512MB in stock. Paid around $100 for it. It plays oggs flawlessly, I've had it since January. Has radio, voice recorder, etc. Works great.
My only complaints are that 10 hours of battery life is just a little skimpy, only a little though, and that the charger/transfer uses the same port as the headphones, so you can't charge and listen at the same time. I really like the metal clip on it, I thought I wouldn't, but I end up clipping it to my collar a lot and it stays out of the way. I think it's locked up once on me.
This replaced an Enox EMX-900, which I had from August to October of last year. The battery died. It was an import from Asia, because you couldn't get them here. I liked that it had a built-in USB so I didn't have to carry anything else. Then I realized that with it plugged directly into my laptop it was likely to be broken. That didn't happen. The user interface on it was slow and sluggish, and the thing would hang on playing about 5% of my oggs. It did have 1GB in it though.
efm has a iAudio F1 with 1GB that she's had since November of last year. It also plays oggs, and is a bit bigger than mine. It's shaped like a little race car, if that's important to you. It has a nice OLED display, where the Samsung has an inverted LCD. She's really liked her player. No problems with it. I think it has better battery life than the Samsung, but I wouldn't trade the small size and the metal clip.
I will say that I find 64kbps oggs sound acceptable to me, where 64kbps MP3s do not. 128kbps mp3s are the lowest quality where the codec artifacts don't bug me. So, a player that can do oggs gives me about 2x the capacity of a player that does mp3s only.
If I were to buy a new one today, I'd consider the Apple Nano running the rockbox firmware which does oggs, and has 4GB, but not very good battery life, and is much more expensive than the samsung. If my samsung died today, I'd probably just buy another one.

Take a look at SanDisk's Sansa e200 series: http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1166)-SanDisk_Sansa_e200_Series_MP3_Players.aspx. Solid state 2-6G + external Micro SD. It can be used as a flash drive => you can copy your mp3 (or wma) directly using any OS. Can be bought for reasonable price, especially with rebates. While you don't care it supports pictures and movies. I replaced Sansa's stock ear buds with Sennheiser PX 100, and now I am a happy camper.
I've got an iRiver T10. I use it to play OGGs, MP3s and listen to the radio. Runs (runs for a long time) on AA batteries. Don't remember the cost, but it was at the bottom end of the range. Mounts as a flash drive when plugged into USB.
It's only got 512MB of storage. I plug it in every week or so and run a little script to fill it up with random tracks. I'd need more than 20GB to store all my music and I really don't need it all when I'm commuting :)
The good news on Ogg (Vorbis or FLAC) is that the vendor doesn't have to support it -- provided you can replace the vendor OS with Rockbox.
# Ben Finney
my current mp3 player is an iaudio x5.
My next mp3 player will be an iaudio x5.
# Pistahh
Not a recommendation, but a question: which good (ogg) players do gapless playback?
Gapless means that there is no artificial pause introduced between two tracks when played back. Imagine The Wall, for example, being played back with 2 seconds of silence between overlapping tracks. Same for most live albums, of course.
I still have an iriver H140 which does all you want (it's still cool, but a bit bulky and old), except for gapless playback.
# Andre
An iPod running the Rockbox firmware will play Ogg with gapless playback. It also supports the Lame extensions for gapless MP3 playback. Works great for me. Thinking about it, you may be able to run Rockbox on your existing iRiver.# Menno Smits
I also have an Cowon iAudio X5 and I love it - USB Mass Storage, 30 Gigs of space, Ogg Vorbis AND FLAC support, great audio quality, radio (with recording feature), voice recorder, line-in recording and 35 hours of playback time (on the X5L) without recharging certanly convinced me when I bought it... If you don't want video, there is a smaller one (I think called M5) - the x5l is quite huge. Oh and yeah - no DRM b****sh** ;)
cheers, Chris
Well, it looks like it's about the same size as my 40Gb iPod (just slightly smaller). And about the same size as the Archos gmini -- the Archos has a camcorder in it, though, which is kind of neat. I've enjoyed the low-quality video that my camera takes, and the Archos would be a (small) step up from that plus music (though as a camera it sounds like it's about cellphone quality).
The Amazon reviews make it sound like the iAudio is a more polished product. But then, a lot of the complaints about the Archos are about features that the iAudio just doesn't have. And the Archos is actually cheaper (though it's sale price at Amazon does make me wonder if there's something wrong with it). Oh, though the iAudio has FM radio, which is nice.
# Ian Bicking
I have an old iAudio with 40GB harddrive, and the ability to play Oggs and mp3s. The user interface is a bit odd, but I am still quiet happy with it.
# edomaur
I'll chime in with another vote for the iAudio. (I have the 20GB M5). It'll play Ogg, Flaac, MP3--just about any music file. It's compact (not as small as iPods, but small), good looking, and can take a couple of drops (yes I've dropped it a couple of times) Sound quality is excellent. It is Linux compatible, when you plug it into a USB port it shows up as a harddrive. You can transfer to and from your harddrive, and it plays well with Listen music player (which I prefer over Rythmbox).
I also have good things to say about the M5. My audio files (ogg,flac, and mp3) are already in a nice directory structure, and I like just having to use cp, mv, and rm to manage the files on the device. I'm also happy with the quality of the line in recording, but that requires buying a proprietary dongle for 20 bucks or something. There is no option to record to wav, but at 320kbs, mp3 sounds good enough. I love that the screen has rainbow text which says "COLOUR SOUND" though there's nothing colour about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Karma 20GB HD-based, supports OGG and FLAC. IIRC, it's Linux compatible. I'm not 100% sure though. I don't think it's still in production, but it looks like you can still get 'em (according to Froogle).
# Chris R.
I've had two of these, and they die rather quickly (something weird going on with the hard disks). Plus, they're EOL'ed, so I don't think you can get much support. Although the Karma is pretty great if it works, I wouldn't actually recommend it (anymore).
Definitely check out iRiver's offerings. I'm not sure what they currently have, but they have open-source drivers and OGG support.
# Andrew Barilla
You may want to check out this episode of dl.tv: http://dl.tv/blogs/digitallifetv/archive/2006/08/16/18662.aspx They go over three alternatives to iPod. I can't recall which had which features, but one player did .ogg and I think two of them had non-proprietary cables. I'll be entertaining if nothing else.
# Jeremy M. Jones
I have an iAudio G3 - solid state 1GB. I picked it because it was cheap, it plays oggs, acts as a USB mass storage device and runs on an AA battery, not a proprietary one. I can't update my firmware from Linux, and I don't believe anyone has hacked firmware. As mentioned earlier, it lacks gapless playback. It's spontaneously rebooted maybe three or four times in six months of continuous use.
From my experience and reading the iAudio forums, I have a good impression of iAudio's players in general.
Oh, and my iAudio has color sound. i mean who else has got that. omg teh w00t.
Although I bought an ipod for my girlfriend, my criteria for a mp3player for myself were quite different (non-apperance dependant): * It must connect with my linux laptop simply and easily * It must have radio * It must be small * It must be <= 1Gb * It should preferrably be cheap (not -ish!), as I used most of my gadget budget on buying my girlfriend an ipod... I ended up with the creative zen nano plus, which have served my just fine, fulfilling all the above criteria, regards, Steen# st1
I bought an iAudio X5 just a couple of days ago. It's early days but I'm quite happy so far. The reasons for buying the X5 over other players were...
[1] Linux support - the x5 is just a USB mass storage device - no proprietary software needed to transfer music to and from the device.
[2] 20G storage - I have maybe 300 CDs (actual CDs that I bought - Imagine!) so my music collection fits easily on the device.
[3] The X5 has 95dB SNR - OK I won't even pretend to know what that really means but allegedly it has better sound quality than the iPod.
What I don't like about the X5:
[1] Battery is not user replaceable.
[2] Requires a propietary dongle to connect to PCs and to recharge. I know I'm going to lose the dongle. They should have put the connecting ports on the player itself.
While not as important the following has turned out to be a nice extra...
[1] Video playback. My 5-year-old daughter loves this. (so much so I'm wonder should I have got an iPod video instead - they have much larger screens). Great for long car journeys, and it's surprisingly watchable. (I was skeptical about video playback too - the quality really isn't that bad).
[2] The X5 can operate in USB host mode. If you have an SD/Flash card reader you can plug it into the X5 and transfer files. (I haven't tried this out yet).
The X5 is old-school in that if you want to easily navigate your collection, you really need to have it organized something like this...
${LETTER}/${Artist}/${Album}/${TRACK} ${TITLE}.mp3I've ripped my CDs using different software over the years so they didn't all use the same ID3 tags (some were ID3v1, some ID3v2), and the X5 didn't recognize all the different tags. So I nuked the tags and retagged based on the directory structure with a bit of perl code (yeah I probably should've just used iTunes but that wouldn't have been as educational ;-).
As an aside - do any MP3 players support tagging ? Organizing an MP3 collection by tags (I mean del.icio.us tagging not ID3 tagging) would be cool. A player that lets you tag stuff as your listening to it and constructs playlists based on tags (single or combined) would be nice.
http://del.icio.us/walterh/mp3
I've bought a Sony Ericsson W810i recently. It uses the Memory Stick duo (comes with a 512mb one). Supports bluetooth, mounts as a usb drive (tested on Windows and OS X). Can play .mp3 and .m4a just fine, have't tried .ogg. If you need a new phone and don't mind the storage limit (biggest Memory Stick is 2GB? Maybe 4GB?). I'm still to try it under linux.
If you're going to spend $200+, why not get a nice game machine as well?A friend of mine loves his Linux-based GamePark GP2X ($170); throw in $50 for a 1-GB SD card, and you have a nice little MP3/Ogg/whatever-anyone's-ever-written-a-player-in-Linux-for player that you can also play lots of classic arcade games on.
The screen's 320x240 pixels, 3.5" diagonal, so I don't foresee watching feature-length movies on it, but for Red Dwarf or RocketBoom it'd be fine.
And, of course, it runs on AA batteries, so you wouldn't be adding yet another charger to your life.
# George Paci
I looked into digital music players last year and finally just got another walkman. It doesn't have compatibilty problems, is reliable, much cheaper ($50), and one AA battery lasts at least 24 hours. "Memory" units are $1.50 per cassette. Of course you need a tape recorder to "format" them.
# Mike Orr
I just bought the second-cheapest 512Mb thing on amazon (it's labelled "ATMT"). Plays MP3s. Seems there'll likely be 16 Gb flash drives around not too long in the future, which would hold all the CDs I own ATM with lots of room to spare, and though the difference between ~10 CDs and "all of my CDs" seems significant, any smaller increase in capacity doesn't seem like a big deal. But then I haven't used it much yet...
Hi. www.TheDigitalBeat.com/test.html is a cool site that will help you figure out which mp3 player to buy. There are a bunch of reviews of the top mp3 players and side by side comparisons of the ipod, zune, creative zen, etc. Good luck!

Libpymath Matrix Module Documentation¶
Libpymath’s matrix library is a fast and powerful means of accessing complex mathematical routines through a simple to use interface. The matrix library is also expanding rapidly, with new features being added with nearly every major version of libpymath.
When you import the module for the first time, some tests will be run to detect the optimal number of threads to use for certain matrix calculations. It only takes a few seconds and results in the library being even faster!
Importing the Module¶
To use the matrix module, you can import it like this:
# Explicitly import the module
from libpymath import matrix
x = matrix.Matrix(2, 2)
# Use the module through a <libpymath> import
import libpymath as lpm
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(2, 2)

Creating a Matrix¶
As you have seen in the section above, creating a matrix is extremely easy, though there are many different ways of doing this.
The easiest way to create a matrix is simply to give the rows and columns like this:
import libpymath as lpm
# Create a 2x3 matrix
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(2, 3)
Matrices can also be created by providing a 2-dimensional Python list of data:
import libpymath as lpm
# The data for the matrix
# data = [[1, 2, 3],
# [4, 5, 6]]
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(data)
If a 1-dimensional list is provided, libpymath will assume it is a 1xC matrix, where C is the length of the list provided:
import libpymath as lpm
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix([1, 2, 3])
A matrix can be created from a combination of all of this as well. For example, you can create a matrix with specified rows and columns from a 1-dimensional list of data:
import libpymath as lpm
# Create a 2x3 matrix containing:
# [[1, 2, 3],
# [4, 5, 6]]
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(rows=2, cols=3, data=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
Printing a Matrix¶
Storing a matrix is useful, though being able to visualise it neatly and effectively is even more useful. Lucklily, libpymath does both. Printing a matrix is as easy as print(mymatrix)
, with all the formatting and data processing done in the background.
For example, printing a 3x5 matrix would look like this:
import libpymath as lpm
data = [[1, 2.718, 3.14159],
[4, 5, 6.66],
[7, 8.5, 9],
[10, 11.1, 12.345],
[13, 14, 15]]
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(data)
print(x)
# Outputs:
# [[ 1.0 , 2.718, 3.14159, 4.0, 5.0]
# [ 6.66, 7.0 , 8.5 , 9.0, 10.0]
# [11.1 , 12.345, 13.0 , 14.0, 15.0]]
Notice how all of the decimal points are aligned, as well as the columns of the matrix? This is to make it easier to understand the data in the matrix and improves its readability.
A common issue is that printing a matrix results in it wrapping onto multiple lines, ruining its appearence, however libpymath concatentes matrices over a certain size so that all of the data can fit onto the screen. For example, here is a 1000x1000 matrix:
import libpymath as lpm
# Create a 1000x1000 matrix
x = lpm.matrix.Matrix(1000, 1000)
print(x)
# This outputs the following*:
# [[0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
# [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
# [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
# *** *** *** *** *** ***
# [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
# [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
# [0.0, 0.0, 0.0 *** 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]]
# Note that creating a matrix without
# specified data may lead to some values
# being non-zero, or even NaN in some
# cases. This can be mitigated with the
# Matrix.fillScalar(x) function

Quentin Lance Returns In Promo For Next Episode Of Arrow
by Christian BoneAnother episode of Arrow season 8, another welcome return of a familiar face. This time, Paul Blackthorne is returning as Quentin Lance. A regular on the series for the first six years of its run, the Star City cop ultimately sacrificed his own life for the Earth-2 doppelganger of his dead daughter when he took a bullet meant for Laurel. Now, however, he’s back as if he never died in the first place. And only Oliver Queen knows something is up.
As this preview teases, episode 8×06 “Reset” sees the Emerald Archer finding himself in a slightly different alternate reality in which Quentin managed to survive his gunshot wound and is still alive in 2019. No one else thinks this is odd though, which leads our hero to suspect that this is another one of the Monitor’s cosmic tests.
What’s more, “Reset” will also deal with the fallout of Team Arrow discovering that Lyla has been secretly working with the Monitor all along, which sets up her role as Harbinger in the upcoming “Crisis on Infinite Earths” event. Meanwhile, Quentin’s return will allow the now-redeemed Laurel to put her past regrets to bed.
Here’s the episode’s official synopsis:
“YOU CAN’T FIGHT YOUR FATE – After being double-crossed by Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson), Oliver (Stephen Amell) finds himself facing a life or death situation that seems very familiar. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) has the opportunity to make amends with the past. David Ramsey directed the episode written by Onalee Hunter Hughes & Maya Houston.”
“Reset” is the second-to-last episode prior to the winter break. “Purgatory” airs on December 3rd before the show takes a week off as Stephen Amell takes part in the “Crisis” crossover. Arrow returns as part of the event on January 14th and after that, two episodes remain – the backdoor pilot for Green Arrow and the Canaries and the grand series finale.
Be sure to catch Arrow 8×06 on The CW next Tuesday, November 26th.

Agarwal hits double ton as India seize control of Bangladesh
Indore - Mayank Agarwal struck his second double century in four Tests as India built a giant 343 first innings lead over Bangladesh on day two of their opening Test.
The 28-year-old opener, who has hit three tons including two double hundreds in his last five Test innings, hit eight sixes and 28 fours in his 243.
Agarwal passed 200 with a six off Mehidy Hasan and went on with his big hits until he was finally caught at deep mid-wicket by Abu Jayed off Mehidy. He left to another standing ovation.
India were 493 for six at stumps in response to Bangladesh's 150 all out on Thursday. Ravindra Jadeja, on 60, and Umesh Yadav, on 25, were at the crease promising more fireworks.
Jadeja celebrated with his trademark sword dance when he reach a half-century in 72 balls, while Yadav smashed three sixes in his 10-ball blitz.
Left-hander Jadeja kept up the attack after a 123-run partnership with Agarwal for the fourth wicket.
Agarwal also made 190 with Ajinkya Rahane, who shot 86, after the hosts resumed the day on 86 for one.
Rahane became paceman Abu Jayed's fourth victim of the innings soon after the tea break.
But Agarwal relentlessly hit the bowlers to the boundary after completing his second 200-plus score in eighth Test appearance since making his debut last year in Melbourne.
His previous best was 215 in the first Test against South Africa last month.
Agarwal's marathon knock eased Indian nerves after skipper Virat Kohli was out for a duck - his 10th in 83 Tests - in the first session.
Abu, who sent opener Rohit Sharma packing for six on Thursday, got Cheteshwar Pujara (54) caught at gully soon after the overnight batsman completed his fifty with a boundary.
But it was Kohli's wicket that briefly brought joy to Bangladesh after they successfully reviewed an lbw appeal rejected by the umpire. Replays indicated the ball would have hit leg stump.
India's pace bowlers, led by Mohammed Shami who took three wickets, dealt with Bangladesh on the opening day of the two-match series after the tourists won the toss but chose to bat first on a green wicket.

Center Stage * * * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by Nicholas Hytner. Cast: Amanda Schull, Zoe Saldana, Susan May Pratt, Ethan Stiefel, Sascha Radetsky, Shakiem Evans, Ilia Kulik, Peter Gallagher, Donna Murphy, Eion Bailey, Debra Monk. 2000 - 114 minutes Rated PG-13 (for profanity and sexual situations). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, May 13, 2000.
2000 has been a fairly dreadful year, thus far, in movies. Week after week, new releases are presented to the country, and week after week, it seems, the pictures aren't worth the celluloid they were made on. Sooner or later, a film was going to finally be released that would really get me excited, that would cause me to sit up straight and take notice. It wasn't a matter of "if," but "when." Unexpectedly, "Center Stage," by acclaimed director Nicholas Hytner (1996's "The Crucible"), is an often remarkably exhilarating and surprisingly insightful dance drama, perhaps the most impressionable and well-made in its genre since 1987's "Dirty Dancing."
Wisely, in casting the movie, Hytner opted to give the majority of roles to real-life dancers, so as to be more free and alive in the choreography, not having to use camera tricks and quick jump-cuts when an actor's stand-in is brought into the sequence. This filmmaking decision pays off splendidly because, although it was initially risky casting novice actors/pro dancers in the major roles, Hytner has gotten fine performances out of each of them, along with their stunning expertise in understanding and flowing with the music.
"Center Stage" begins with a select group of young dancers being chosen to move to New York City to practice at the prestigious American Ballet Academy, where only three men and three women will eventually be picked at the close of the year to become members of the American Ballet Company. Jody Sawyer (Amanda Schull) is a wide-eyed 17-year-old who decides to put college on hold in order to go to the ABA, and follow through with the dream she has had since she was a child. Once there, Jody becomes close friends with roommate Eva (Zoe Saldana), also freshly chosen for the Academy, who has what it takes to be a professional dancer, but has an overly direct attitude problem that defers her chance of working her way onto the good sides of her instructors. Their third, and final, roommate is Maureen (Susan May Pratt), a highly talented ballerina who has been at the Academy since age 9, but who doesn't even want to be a dancer, instead trying to fulfill her mother's (Debra Monk) wishes and dreams.
Of the three, it is Jody who has the most willingness to practice and be the best that she can be, but is told right off the bat by one of her hard-edged instructors (Donna Murphy) that her feet and body type are all wrong. Once there, Jody is smitten by Cooper (Ethan Stiefel), a young instructor and nearly perfect dancer who leads her into believing he likes her, even though he only wants to use her. More earnest and caring to Jody's feelings and future is Charlie (Sascha Radetsky), a fellow dancer who, nonetheless, is rebuffed when Jody mistakenly believes it could work out between Cooper and herself. Meanwhile, Eva befriends gay dancer Erik (Shakiem Evans), while Maureen begins to realize how much more satisfying life could be for her without having dancing on her shoulders, when she starts a relationship with a handsome, sweet-natured waiter (Eion Bailey).
"Center Stage" is an exceptional film in more ways than one. Most notably, the dance sequences, which include ballet, rock dance, and salsa, are showstopping, alive with astonishing energy and genuine excitement, adjectives rarely able to be put to rightful use in present-day film reviews. Since most of the players have dance experience, they clearly understand the power that this art form has the ability to project, and all of them deliver a sense of joy of dancing. Some of the more unconventional setpieces are the highlights, including one played to the hard-edged, rocking beat of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Higher Ground," and a climactic scene between Schull, Stiefel, and Radetsky that is brilliantly choreographed and veritably effective, as it closely mirrors their relationships in real life.
Amid the dancing is, indeed, several stories that are played out, and what is so surprising is how well-handled each of the characters are. Jody, the film's main protagonist, comes-of-age in the course of the picture, not exactly by making the transition from child to young woman, but by learning what is most important, and wising up to the frequently harsh ways of the world. When she dances in the finale, we are indubitably able to see what kind of a determined, intelligent person Jody has blossomed into in the last year. Amanda Schull, in her film debut, is not only a beautiful face, but also a natural actress, and the type of likable person that one enjoys following throughout the film.
As Eva, Zoe Saldana is a standout. Brought up in Boston, Eva adores ballet, but her attitude and unwillingness to follow by a strict set of rules puts her at a clear disadvantage with the other dancers she is, in essence, learning with and competing against.
Out of all of the main younger people in the film, only Susan May Pratt is an actress, rather than a dancer. Previously seen in 1999's "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Drive Me Crazy," Pratt is given her meatiest role to date. As Maureen, a girl just beginning to learn why it is that she has been so unhappy in her life, Pratt equips herself quite nicely, and is given one truthful scene between she and her boyfriend, played well by Eion Bailey, that is touching in an honest way, rather than one that is purposefully attempting to be melodramatic.
As far as the girls' male counterparts go, Ethan Stiefel, as the unreliable Cooper, and, especially, Sascha Radetsky, as the winning Charlie, are outstanding in both their respective roles, which are refreshingly not paint-by-numbers, as well as on the dance floor. Peter Gallagher, as a sympathetic dance instructor, as well as Donna Murphy and Debra Monk, as Maureen's overbearing mother, appear in supporting adult roles.
Despite the seriousness and candid view of much of its subject matter (including eating disorders, the literal pain that goes into ballet practicing, and the cutthroat atmosphere of dance academies), where "Center Stage" ultimately sparkles is in its pure entertainment value. Although not one to usually "cut a rug," the film opened up my limited interest in dance and, dare I say it, had the power of making me attracted to the act of doing it. Perceptively written by Carol Heikkenen and vibrantly directed by Hytner, "Center Stage" is the most energetic film so far this year, and one that has every right to be placed alongside "Fame," "All That Jazz," and "Flashdance," in the annals of dance film classics.

While it will not be deprecated in the near future, retirement means
that we will only perform critical bug fixes, so we recommend moving to the

top_n()
was superseded because the name was fundamentally confusing as
it returned what you might reasonably consider to be the bottom

MAX/MSP CPG Externals
Note - this is currently under construction. I’ll try to add explanatory images and maybe a tutorial video in the coming weeks
This page documents a set of externals which allow people to explore the use of Central Pattern Generator (CPG) neural networks. For an intro to CPGs see this page or my paper here.
Download the MAX/MSP package from GitHub..
No building is required: just download the repository and put it in your MAX packages folder. The package comprises three objects and a hackable MAX/MSP implementation of my CPG sequencer/ rhythm generator Neurythmic, including a standalone GUI application. The CPG objects for max are documented in the usual fashion, with help patches inside MAX/MSP, below is a quick intro to the neurythmic patch and GUI.
Neurythmic for MAX
The MAX package includes a MAX/MSP port and update of Neurythmic - a rhythm sequencer/ drum machine/ rhythm generator built on Central Pattern Generators. Inside the NeurythmicApp folder in the MAX package, there is a max patch “neurythmic.maxpat”. In the “gui” subfolder you will find an executable “NeurythmicGUI.exe”.
At present the GUI only works on Windows, but even for macOS users the MAX patch is a good starting point for working with my cpg.network~ object, and developing alternative interfaces: whether that’s a simple gui, some kind of algorithmic control system, or a physical installation.
To use neurythmic, first load the max patch and switch on DSP in MAX, then load the GUI: NeurythmicGUI.exe. The GUI sends OSC messages to max, and the patch interprets them, sends them to the cpg.network~ object, and uses the output signals to trigger sounds.
You might want to begin by clicking the cog icon on the top right, and loading a preset, then playing around. There is a basic guide below, and this video may also be helpful
Basics:
- Each circle on screen is a node in the network
- Arrows show connections
- The root node is the largest double-ring node - this defines the base tempo for the whole system, and sets the pulse for the quantiser system
- Right click on a node to open its control menu (see NODE MENU BELOW).
- Right click on a connection to control the basic strength of a connection (like turning up the power on its transmitter) (you will see the arrow grow fatter and more orange). The more signal gets to a node, the more it is affected by the signal. Nodes try to synchronise to the incoming signal (a process called “entrainment”). But weaker signals, and multiple connections can mean the synchronisation becomes more complicated and more interesting rhythms are created.
- Click and drag nodes to move them. Moving nodes closer together means the connection is stronger: more signal gets to the destination just like if you walk closer to a speaker, it gets louder. Moving nodes further away weakens the connection. Again, as signals get stronger, the arrows get fatter and more orange.
- If you move nodes far enough apart, or turn the signal strength to 0, the arrow will turn into a pale dotted line: no signal is being sent, so the nodes are not affecting each other.
Node Menu (right click on node)
Tab 1 - Node menu
This controls the node’s basic behaviour: you can set its natural pulse frequency (a multiple of the base tempo”) via “Rate” or “fine tune”. You can add a new node as “child” of this node. If the current node has no children you can delete the node.
Tab 2 - Rhythmic Manipulation
This controls “filters” applied to the raw rhythmic output of the nodes: there is a quantiser system, and you can also apply timing offsets. Freedom sets the strength of the quantiser If you increase freedom this means less (and ultimately 0) quantisation. If you decrease freedom then the notes generated by the network are pushed towards the quantiser gridlines. At 0 freedom, notes only appear at quantiser gridlines.
You can also set details of the rhythmic grid - either 3/4 or 4/4, or turn the quantiser off (to use the “raw” rhythmic output of the node. “Resolution” sets the number of beats per bar. “Raw mode” bypasses the quantiser altogether, and does not use note triggers, but uses the raw waveform of the node to envelope a simple synthesizer voice.
Finally you can apply timing offset to the beats of the node. Simply click on the slider in the bottom panel - If the quantiser shows you where beats are allowed to fall The root node does not have quantiser controls, since the quantiser is synchronised to this node. The root node still has a “freedom” control - this sets the overall freedom for the system
Tab 3 - Sound Output
The last tab lets you choose the sound which is triggered by the node, and also its pitch and volume. “SIN” is a simple sine-wave synthesizer voice (envelope controlled by Attack, decay). The other options are drum machine sounds. You can replace these with any samples of your choice in the max patch.
Again you can select “RAW MODE”. “Raw mode” bypasses the quantiser altogether, and does not use note triggers, but uses the raw waveform of the node to envelope a simple synthesizer voice. You can still set the pitch. Decay now acts as a kind of envelope waveshaper.
Other Menus
At the top right there are three icons, in order Sound / Settings / Close menu;
Sound Menu
mixer and volume
Settings Menu
Load and restore presets, save a preset bank to a file, load a preset bank from file. I’ve found it can be too easy to accidentally overwrite a preset, and a better UI could easily be imagined. This is a pain, but I haven’t had time to fix it. Warning: there is a slight bug with preset loading - sometimes networks initialise with all the right parameters, but the behaviour is not quite the same. This is no doubt due to the sensitivity of the networks to initial conditions - although we are initialising with internal values for all nodes. It is possible something is off here. I need to find the source of the issue for a future update.
You can also reload the settings file (for ease of hacking: see hacking below) but not all settings options can be changed without a reload. The GUI sends OSC messages to MAX (or potentially any OSC receiving system, if you can imagine another use for this GUI). You can change IP of the OSC host and the in/out ports in this menu too
Max patch Hacking
You can easily make changes to the max patch - look at the help file for cpg.network~ for other options which are not used.
Some ideas:
- You can sync to an external sequencer using a phasor as in the max help file
- You could use cpg.network~ as weird oscillator bank (disconnect the frequency control coming from the GUI). This may eat your CPU at the moment - In future updates I’ll add an external optimised for signal rate usage.
- You could also use external signals, to make the network entrain to other sounds - e.g. low frequency control signals, or audio signals. Some sources of control signal will need to be conditioned before use to get good results. some thoughts here:
You will probably want to scale input signals to within a -1 to 1 range (and possibly smaller than that).
Persistent non-zero signals will affect node cycles, and if high enough cause nodes to halt.
As such you may wish to do some waveshaping (e.g. sigmoid function). t might be helpful to test ideas out with node_basic, or node_freq first and observe the effects on the waveform.
Other hacking:
In the assets folder there are settings files you can change, alongside the max patch. Make sure you back up first. After altering any of these files just reload the exe.
- It is possible to change the labels for the synth voices, (and the number of synth voices and other details) by changing the synthPresets.xml file in your text editor of choice.
- Other GUI settings (colours, node sizes, some labels, etc.) can be changed by editing the settings.pre file.


As the default behavior of OpenJava compiler, there is no assurance of
callee-side translation ordering. In the case that we make it sure to
translate a class SubMyObject after a class MyObject, we
can use the method waitTranslation()
in
java.lang.OJClass.
At the invocation of this method, the translation on the current class declaration stops and it return to continue after the translation on the class given as the argument finished.public void waitTranslation(OJClass) throws MOPException
Furthermore, the part where that class is used comes. There are several part related to the use of class. i.e. object allocations, method calls, field accesses, .. We call this kind of translation caller-side translation.
For the convenience of explanation, suppose a base class
MyObject extended by a metaclass MyClass, like
following:
public class SubMyObject instantiates SyncClass extends MyObject {} class MyObject instantiates AnotherClass {} class SubSubMyObject instantiates SyncClass extends SubMyObject {}
We can see the following messages in running OpenJava compiler.public class SyncClass instantiates Metaclass extends OJClass { void translateDefinition() throws MOPException { OJClass baseclazz = getSuperclass(); System.out.println( getName() + " is waiting for " + base.getName() ); waitTranslation( baseclazz ); System.out.println( getName() + " finished" ); } }
MyObject is waiting for java.lang.Object MyObject finished SubSubMyObject is waiting for SubMyObject SubMyObject is waiting for MyObject SubMyObject finished SubSubMyObject finished
In the case of the system detects some deadlocks,
waitTranslation()
throws an exception
MOPException
. If already the translation of
a class A were waiting for the translation of a class B,
the invocation of waitTranslation()
on the translation
of the class B would not block but throw an exception.

So at the risk of this site mostly being tech stuff I’m posting another how-to, rough-guide, self-documentation regarding Tor.
I hadn’t planned this as I’m currently a) meant to be completing a PhD funding application, b) should be trying to find a job and c) trying to focus on music related things rather than tech for a little while.
Anyway, @moananddrone got me intrigued by the Enterprise Onion Toolkit (EOTK) https://github.com/alecmuffett/eotk as he’s got a project requiring it and wanted me to help look at it with him.
I won’t share any details of the project as Kevin will be talking about that at some point, in the future, as appropriate.
Still I wanted to share my own experiences of trying out this tool and deploying it using Google’s cloud infrastructure.
There are political considerations in using Google’s (or Amazon’s etc.) cloud platforms and I’m not agnostic towards such politics. I also want to keep myself educated about the various technologies in use so this seemed like a good opportunity to test out EOTK, have a play with Google’s free introduction to their cloud services, and do all of this separately to my existing Tor installation (which works well as is — I didn’t want to risk breaking my configuration with another toolset).
Google Cloud Platform
I’m not really documenting this part of the process very extensively as they’re just visual web forms which are fairly self explanatory to complete and this would just be a series of screenshots which I don’t want to do. If anyone reading struggles here though and the help pages don’t answer your questions feel free to comment and ask questions.
First thing was to signup to Google Cloud Platform’s free trail - https://cloud.google.com/
I then created a new project and a Compute Engine VM.
I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing here but I’m trying only a micro instance with Ubuntu 16.04. I also opted for European data centres simply because European data privacy laws are generally speaking considered better that US ones (a complex and contentious issue but for my current needs this simplification is appropriate).
I’m not familiar with the firewall settings here either so I’ve enabled HTTP and HTTPS. We’ll see if I need to do more config later.
The online SSH client is truly impressive. Just click the SSH button/link and you get a web based terminal.
Installing EOTK
First things first:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Now to install EOTK
git clone https://github.com/alecmuffett/eotk.git
cd eotk
./opt.d/install-everything-on-ubuntu-16.04.sh
Hopefully everything is now installed.
Setting up an EOTK Project
Lets try it, still in the eotk
folder we can run:
./eotk gen
This generates an onion key file, in my case u35unrkwyvkcdxsl.key
. Copy the name of this, we’ll need it in a moment.
Let’s set up a configuration file. I’m going to call it mroystonward.conf
but you should call it whatever you like but keep the .conf
at the end.
nano mroystonward.conf
In the nano text editor we need to write the following:
set project mroystonward
hardmap secrets.d/u35unrkwyvkcdxsl.key mroystonward.github.io
A few notes here. mroystonward
is the name of my project. Use here whatever you used previously.
secrets.d/
is the folder where eotk puts onion keys so this needs to stay the same.
u35unrkwyvkcdxsl.key
should be replaced with whatever onion key you generated above.
mroystonward.github.io
is the domain I’m mirroring via Tor. You should put whatever domain you want to mirror.
A few notes here though. Don’t put the www
hostname.
You can do quite complex subdomain setups which I just don’t need in this example. Check the docs and video - here and here
Firing it up
Now run (replacing the name of the conf file with whatever you chose earlier):
./eotk conf mroystonward.conf
and (with whatever project name you chose earlier):
./eotk start mroystonward
That’s it, it’s running. We can check the status using:
./eotk status mroystonward
And you should see both Tor and Nginx processes listed.
In Tor Browser you can now visit your onion address (mine is u35unrkwyvkcdxsl.onion).

SSL Certificate Problems
This is expected behaviour and it’s because the SSL certificates are self signed. You’ll need to click ‘advanced’ and add an exception. You may have to do this several times.
There’s not a huge amount we can do about this either.
Certbot/LetsEncrypt doesn’t currently support .onion domains so getting free/simple SSL isn’t an option.
You currently need an SSL EV certificate which, i.e. from DigiCert, costs ~$250. For non-corporate projects this is a) expensive and b) I’m led to believe is hard to get without the proofs that accompany corporate infrastructure/incorporation etc.
Depending on the nature of the site HTTPS may not be entirely necessary. This is a new area for my investigations into Tor etc. My current understanding is that the layers of encryption provided by Tor preclude the need for HTTPS on security grounds. I may be wrong here though. Feel free to comment. A HTTPS certificate does however help with proof of ownership and trust, even in an onion environment.
Useful resources in starting to consider the pros and cons of HTTPS over Tor:
- https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/03/https-and-tor-working-together-protect-your-privacy-and-security-online
- https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https
- https://blog.torproject.org/facebook-hidden-services-and-https-certs
What these resources don’t make sufficiently clear is the different ways one may choose to use Tor.
You may use the Tor browser for increased privacy/anonymity whilst browsing clear-net websites (i.e. *.com, *.org, *.net, *.co.uk etc.). The EFF graphic describing the different levels of protection Tor and HTTPS together offer is referring to this kind of browsing. This is one reason the Tor browser includes (and benefits from) the HTTPS Everywhere plugin.
You may also use the Tor browser to access .onion sites (as we’re setting up here). That this relies upon secure keys provides similar protections to HTTPS. You also know that only one site has this key and so when you connect to an onion domain it is almost certainly the site you think it is. You might not know who owns the site and they may not have your best interests at heart but it’s not anyone else pretending to be that site or intercepting traffic etc.
Still, we now generally understand that when the browser gives us a security warning about certificates we should take this seriously. Encouraging users to just accept self-signed certificates isn’t good practice either.
Trying HTTP Only
If we don’t need HTTPS we can add this line to the mroystonward.conf file:
set force_https 0
You’ll need to stop, rerun configuration and then start your project again:
./eotk stop mroystonward
./eotk conf mroystonward.conf
./eotk start mroystonward
Whilst this is useful to note it doesn’t work for me as this entails downgrading from HTTPS to HTTP.
But Don’t Downgrade from HTTPS
Whilst I’m not yet sure of my position regarding the benefits of HTTPS over Tor for a fairly simple static website with little in the way of logins or cookies, if the original site is already HTTPS, downgrading would be considered bad practice and if there were any secure cookies and or data submission on the site we would now potentially be introducing all sorts of security holes. The EOTK developers are looking into this but for now there isn’t really any elegant solution. Tor are also considering how the Tor browser should handle onion sites with self-signed certificates.
Added to this, I host mroystonward.github.io using github pages. A nice feature of this is that they enforce HTTPS. That unfortunately means that even if I set force_https
to 0
, the part of the process which involves github serving the clear-web site to the EOTK process is all enforced in HTTPS. That means that I’m trying to downgrade to HTTP which isn’t recommended or supported as above. There are inelegant ways around this but none that are available to me as I can’t alter how github serves it’s pages.
Startup Scripts
I also faffed around for quite sometime with startup scripts via the compute engine metadata flags but I could never get everything running properly.  Luckily EOTK comes with a handy init script tool.
Run the following commands (in the eotk folder still):
./eotk make-init-script
sudo cp eotk-init.sh /etc/init.d
sudo update-rc.d eotk-init.sh defaults
That’s it, it’ll now start all projects on boot.
Parting Thoughts
It all seems very slow to me so far (and slower than a site I directly run as a Tor service from a Raspberry Pi).
UPDATE: Things seem a lot faster now so my speed concerns seem mostly unfounded.
I know, for example, images on the github site aren’t very optimised as a compromise for the simplicity of the static site publishing process (something I’m looking at fixing at some point). I scaled up the cloud VM to see if that made a difference and too be honest I don’t think it has so I’m sticking with the cheaper micro option for now.
So, interesting exercise. If you fancy trusting my self-signed certificate you can see this in action at u35unrkwyvkcdxsl.onion. I’ll leave it running for a while and see what happens but I doubt it’ll be up for a long-long time.
I’m also impressed by how easy this was to set up on a cloud platform. It suggests the possibilities for temporary set-up/use/tear-down approaches as needs fit. One could easily clone the git repo and add in some default conf files and automate the initialisation process.
Also, the options to use a small cluster of RaspberryPis and OnionBalance for all of this is super intriguing too but I don’t yet have a use case for it to justify getting more Pis - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNJaMNVCb-U
Hope this helps you have a play around too.

The Flow relationship describes the exchange or transfer of information or value between processes, function, interactions, and events.
Used to model the flow of information between behavioural concepts in a process.
A Flow relationship does not imply a causal or temporal relationship.
Dynamic.
A "Claim assessment" Business Function forwards decisions about the claim to the "Claim settlement" Business Function.


This program plots the map with strike and dip symbols for planes and arrows for linears. The map is drawn either with geographic coordinates, Gauss-Krueger, or UTM-coordinates. In the menu 'margins of the map' The frame of the map can be increased or decreased, or the coordinates of the margin can be redefined. The purpose of the latter is to overlay a map, a digital elevation model, or a satellite image. Fill in the coordinates of the margins of this image to make sure that the image will not be distorted. Overlay is done in the menu 'Diagram' either from clipboard or from a file. In the same menu the new map may be served and/or printed.


The GROUP BY statement groups rows that have the same values into summary rows, like "find the number of customers in each country"..
The GROUP BY statement is often used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM, AVG) to group the result-set by one or more columns.
GROUP BY Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition
GROUP BY column_name(s)
ORDER BY column_name(s);
Demo Database
Below is a selection from the "Customers" table in the Northwind sample database:
Below is a selection from the "Customers" table:
The following SQL statement lists the number of customers in each country:
ExampleSELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
FROM Customers
GROUP BY Country;
The following SQL statement lists the number of customers in each country, sorted high to low:
ExampleSELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
FROM Customers
GROUP BY Country
ORDER BY COUNT(CustomerID) DESC;


Rack::File serves files below the root directory given, according to the path info of the Rack request. e.g. when Rack::File.new(“/etc”) is used, you can access ‘passwd’ file as localhost:9292/passwd
Handlers can detect if bodies are a Rack::File, and use mechanisms like sendfile on the path.

From what I currently understand, the 'DOM' stands for 'Document Object Model'. The DOM is basically the tree of a web page, from the grandparents, all the way down to the children. This allows you to access specific elements of a web page with java script or browser web dev tools. You might use it to test your website scaling & functionality, or maybe to play around with the source code without consequence.
Html is like the lyricist and producer of a song. The lyricist adds the structure and basic output that holds everything together nicely giving Css more than enough to work with. Css is the mixing and mastering engineer of the studio. Css will fine tune the website make the website presentable.
Control flows are like cooking your own food versus going to a restaurant. When going to a restaurant, you're paying a lot of money for one dinner, but you're assured the food will taste great. When you cook your own food, you're paying very little money, but you still have to know how to cook it right.
Loops are like woking out. If you work out too little, you won't really build muscle.  But if you get it just right, you build bigger muscle faster than you could of thought possible. You just have to put the perfect amount into it.
Accessing data from an array is good for when you want to store lots of singlular data and access a specific value. An object can also store lots of data but the data itself means more. It is data that can be associated with another pair of data, like a 'car' that is 'blue'.
A function is code that creates, well, a function. But a function can only work if it is called with [function-name]() What a function actually does is initiate a variable/variables and return whatever you set it to return.
