The game hexplode lets two players fight one another using exploding stacks of their tokens as means to take over enemy tokens. Over time, chain reactions become more and more common and as a result the game becomes difficult to predict. Here, I implement a ‘minimax’ algorithm to create a (very basic) computer player for this game. You can test your skills against it here
Hexplode is almost as old as space invaders. The game of was first created as a BASIC program for the BBC Micro written by J. Ansell in 1982. I started working on this game as part of the 2016 Man AHL coder prize. I am using their implementation here, which is openly available on GitHub. Their summary of the game is this: > Hexplode is played by 2 players on a board of hexagonal tiles. The players take turns to place a counter on the board, they can only play a counter in an empty tile or a tile they already own. When the number of counters on a given tile equals the number of adjacent tiles the tile hexplodes and the contents of the tile are equally distributed to its neighbours changing the ownership of neighbouring counters over to the current player in the process. This process can often generate a chain reaction. The winner is the player that removes all of their opponents counters from the board.
Man AHL ships their version with a flask app that allows us to run the game as a web server. This can be done either locally, or in the cloud. I have a version running on PythonAnywhere, which you can access at http://janlauge.pythonanywhere.com. Here is an example of what it looks like:
On the algorithm backend, the game is represented by a simple board state in the form of a
python dictionary. Each tile has a tile_id
, a score
(the number of counters on that tile),
an owner
(the ID of the player that owns the token on this tile),
and a list of neighbours
indicated by their respective ID
s.
python
board = {
<tile id>: {
'counters': <number of counters on tile or None>,
'player': <player id of the player who holds the tile or None>,
'neighbours': <list of ids of neighbouring tile>
},
...
}
In a game-theoretical sense, hexplode is an adversarial, deterministic game with perfect information. This means that the players are pursuing opposing goals, that there is no element of chance or randomness, and that all information about the state of the game world is always available to all players.
All three of these are attributes that hexplode shares with chess. I therefore decided to start my work on the competition with a ‘MiniMax’ implementation. This algorithm uses a tree approach. Each branch is a possible move, each leaf represents the resulting board state. Board states in terminal leaves are evaluated one by one, as “game over” for either player (+/- infinity), or, if that does not apply, using a heuristic value function (see diagram below).

Minimax is relatively straight-forward to implement. First, we need to be able to
calculate future board states as a function of our moves. We create a function
AddCounter
for this, which uses a list of scores, the board shape, the id of the
tile that the counter should be placed on, along with the player_id (the algorithm)
and the current player (the one placing the counter, because we want to be able to
simulate enemy moves as well). Note that this is a recursive function,
because placing a marker on a tile can create an instable board state with
as many counters on a tile as that tile has neighbours. In this case,
the tile will “hexplode”, distributing its counters to the neighbouring tiles.
This, in turn, could trigger subsequent hexplodes on those neighbouring tiles,
which would be handled by the respective recursions triggered by the function.
python
def AddCounter(scores, board, tile_id, player_id, player_current):
if (True in [score > 0 for score in scores.values()]) and (True in [score < 0 for score in scores.values()]):
#If player, counters are positive
if player_current == player_id:
add = +1
#If enemy, counters are negative
else:
add = -1
#If placing counter on own tile, increase counters
if (add > 0 and scores[tile_id] >= 0) or (add < 0 and scores[tile_id] <= 0):
counter = scores[tile_id] + add
#If placing counter on enemy tile, change and increase counters
else:
counter = (scores[tile_id] * -1) + add
#If field full, hexplode (recursive)
if abs(counter) == len(board[tile_id]["neighbours"]):
scores[tile_id] = 0
for neighbour in board[tile_id]["neighbours"]:
scores = AddCounter(scores, board, neighbour, player_id, player_current)
else:
scores[tile_id] = counter
return(scores)
else:
return(scores)
Now that we can calculate and evaluate potential future board states, we can use this to
create a tree of move scenarios. A given board state allows for a number of moves
(“place a marker on any tile that is not an enemy tile”). When it is our turn,
we can make n_1
valid moves resulting in n_1
possible board states. Using
another recursion call we can calculate n_2
valid enemy moves with termination
conditions for a maximum depth (n_i
) and/or for a game-over situation
(one player looses all counters).
```python class Node(object):
def __init__(self, board, player_id, player_current, scores, depth, move=None):
self.player_current = player_current
self.move = move
self.scores = scores
#Check if game is over
if (True in [score > 0 for score in self.scores.values()]) and (True in [score < 0 for score in self.scores.values()]):
self.depth = depth
else:
self.depth = 0
#If this is not a terminal node, generate the children
if self.depth > 0:
#Prefix for use with score
if (self.player_current == player_id):
self.prefix = 1
else:
self.prefix = -1
self.children = []
self.CreateChildren(scores)
#If this is terminal node, calculate value
elif self.depth == 0:
#Get Value
self.value = CalculateValue(scores, player_id)
def CreateChildren(self, scores):
for tile_id in scores.keys():
if ((scores[tile_id] >= 0) and (self.prefix > 0)) or ((scores[tile_id] <= 0) and (self.prefix < 0)):
future_scores = copy(scores)
future_scores = AddCounter(future_scores, board, tile_id, player_id, self.player_current)
self.children.append(Node(
board,
player_id,
(self.player_current + 1) % 2,
future_scores,
self.depth -1,
tile_id)) ```
So we have our tree of all possible future board configurations now.
However, how do we actually figure out which one is the most favourable or the
most likely scenario? This is where the Minimax algorithm comes into play.
Let’s assume for a second that we grew trees indefinitely, until each branch
reaches a “game-over” state where all counters belong to one player.
Furthermore, let’s say that we will assign a value to each of those terminal
branches: Inf
(positive infinity) for a branch in which we win, -Inf
(negative infinity) for a branch in which we loose.
In reality, however, we will not be able to calculate all terminal nodes. Consider this: A hexagonal board of side length 3 will have 19 tiles, equating to 19 possible moves in the first round. Each of these results in a board state with 18 possible moves for the enemy (361 board states in total), then 18 for us again (6517 board states in total), and so on and so forth. This quickly gets out of hand. We somehow need to keep the number of board states manageable.
One way to achieve this is to limit the depth of our tree and evaluate the “favourability” of each terminal leaf using a heuristic value function. In this example, let’s go for something simple, such as the number of markers that we have on the board, minus the number of enemy markers. If for a given board state we’re in the lead, the number will be positive. If we’re behind, the number will be negative.
```python def CalculateScores(board, player_id): scores = {} for tile_id, tile in board.items(): if tile[“player”] == None: scores[tile_id] = 0 elif tile[“player”] == player_id: scores[tile_id] = int(tile[“counters”]) elif tile[“player”] is not player_id: scores[tile_id] = int(tile[“counters”]) * -1 return(scores)
def CalculateValue(scores, player_id): “"”Heuristic value function to estimate how favourable the given board state is for the player”””
# count counters
OwnCounters = 0
EnemyCounters = 0
for tile_id in scores:
if scores[tile_id] > 0:
OwnCounters += abs(scores[tile_id])
elif scores[tile_id] < 0:
EnemyCounters += abs(scores[tile_id])
# Check for game-over
if OwnCounters == 0:
#Lost
return(-maxsize)
elif EnemyCounters == 0:
#Won
return(maxsize)
else:
value = OwnCounters - EnemyCounters
return(value) ```
We can “back-propagate” these outcomes up the tree and assume that each player will always pick the move that will bring them closer towards a winning branch rather than a loosing branch. In other words, we will try to maximise the value, our enemy will try to minimize it. Since we take turns at the moves, it becomes Max, Min, Max, Min, ergo MiniMax. This can be coded up with yet another recursive approach. This time we use two functions that call one-another, and take the node tree object we created as an input variable.
```python def Maxvalue(node): “"”Function to identify most advantageous player move””” if (node.depth == 0): return node.value else: best_value = -maxsize for child in node.children: best_value = max(best_value, Minvalue(child)) return best_value
def Minvalue(node): “"”Function to identify most likely enemy move””” if (node.depth == 0): return node.value else: best_value = maxsize for child in node.children: best_value = min(best_value, Maxvalue(child)) return best_value ```
Finally, we can join up all these individual parts and make them talk to the
web app. The Minimax
function below takes the inputs board
, game_id
and
player_id
from the flask app hosting the game, calculates the future
possible board states by instanciating a Node
object, and then picks
the most favourable move from all moves currently possible by
evaluating the future scenarios.
```python def Minimax(board, game_id, player_id):
# Run algorithm depth = 3 scores = CalculateScores(board, player_id) moves = sum([abs(score) for score in scores.values()])
# If the game is only starting, pick first tile if moves < 2: possible_moves = {} for tile_id, tile in board.items(): if tile[“player”] is None: possible_moves.setdefault(len(tile[“neighbours”]), []).append(tile_id) # Pick the moves closest to an explosion best_move = possible_moves[min(possible_moves)][2]
return best_move
else: node_tree = Node(board, player_id, player_id, scores, depth) candidate_moves = {} for child in node_tree.children: candidate_moves[child.move] = Minvalue(child) best_move = max(candidate_moves.keys(), key=(lambda k: candidate_moves[k]))
return best_move ```
I’ve included this function in my version of the web app running on pythonanywhere, so head over there and give it a go! http://janlauge.pythonanywhere.com
I hope this is mildly interesting and/or useful. I’d be glad for any feedback on my approach, the code (this was one of my first projects in python), and this post in general. Thanks to Man AHL for hosting this interesting challenge!

| smoothCon {mgcv} | R Documentation |
Wrapper functions for construction of and prediction from smooth terms in a GAM. The purpose of the wrappers is to allow user-transparant re-parameterization of smooth terms, in order to allow identifiability constraints to be absorbed into the parameterization of each term, if required. The routine also handles ‘by’ variables and construction of identifiability constraints automatically, although this behaviour can be over-ridden.
smoothCon(object,data,knots=NULL,absorb.cons=FALSE, scale.penalty=TRUE,n=nrow(data),dataX=NULL, null.space.penalty=FALSE,sparse.cons=0, diagonal.penalty=FALSE,apply.by=TRUE,modCon=0) PredictMat(object,data,n=nrow(data))
object |
is a smooth specification object or a smooth object. |
data |
A data frame, model frame or list containing the values of the
(named) covariates at which the smooth term is to be
evaluated. If it's a list then |
knots |
An optional data frame supplying any knot locations to be supplied for basis construction. |
absorb.cons |
Set to |
scale.penalty |
should the penalty coefficient matrix be scaled to have
approximately the same ‘size’ as the inner product of the terms model matrix
with itself? This can improve the performance of |
n |
number of values for each covariate, or if a covariate is a matrix,
the number of rows in that matrix: must be supplied explicitly if |
dataX |
Sometimes the basis should be set up using data in |
null.space.penalty |
Should an extra penalty be added to the smooth which will penalize the components of the smooth in the penalty null space: provides a way of penalizing terms out of the model altogether. |
apply.by |
set to |
sparse.cons |
If |
diagonal.penalty |
If |
modCon |
force modification of any smooth supplied constraints. 0 - do nothing. 1 - delete supplied constraints, replacing with automatically generated ones. 2 - set fit and predict constraint to predict constraint. 3 - set fit and predict constraint to fit constraint. |
These wrapper functions exist to allow smooths specified using
smooth.construct
and Predict.matrix
method
functions to be re-parameterized so that identifiability constraints are no
longer required in fitting. This is done in a user transparent
manner, but is typically of no importance in use of GAMs. The routine's
also handle by
variables and will create default identifiability
constraints.
If a user defined smooth constructor handles by
variables itself, then its
returned smooth object should contain an object by.done
. If this does not exist
then smoothCon
will use the default code. Similarly if a user defined Predict.matrix
method handles by
variables internally then the returned matrix should have a
"by.done"
attribute.
Default centering constraints, that terms should sum to zero over the covariates, are produced unless
the smooth constructor includes a matrix C
of constraints. To have no constraints (in which case
you had better have a full rank penalty!) the matrix C
should have no rows. There is an option to
use centering constraint that generate no, or limited infil, if the smoother has a sparse model matrix.
smoothCon
returns a list of smooths because factor by
variables result in multiple copies
of a smooth, each multiplied by the dummy variable associated with one factor level. smoothCon
modifies
the smooth object labels in the presence of by
variables, to ensure that they are unique, it also stores
the level of a by variable factor associated with a smooth, for later use by PredictMat
.
The parameterization used by gam
can be controlled via
gam.control
.
From smoothCon
a list of smooth
objects returned by the
appropriate smooth.construct
method function. If constraints are
to be absorbed then the objects will have attributes "qrc"
and
"nCons"
. "nCons"
is the number of constraints. "qrc"
is
usually the qr decomposition of the constraint matrix (returned by
qr
), but if it is a single positive integer it is the index of the
coefficient to set to zero, and if it is a negative number then this indicates that
the parameters are to sum to zero.
For predictMat
a matrix which will map the parameters associated with
the smooth to the vector of values of the smooth evaluated at the covariate
values given in object
.

If you like sugar & cream with your coffee... Mumford
By Ross Anthony
On a sunny, green-grassy day in small town Mumford, a 1940's milk truck pulls up just as Dr. Mumford steps off with a patient for a little walk-talk therapy: textbook "trite." And it's just the first layer of the cake. Still, "Mumford" has plenty of good movie baked right in -- all that creamy white schmaltz just can't bog it down. In fact, the fluff kind of rises to the surface after the fact. Kind of like pleasuring yourself with the way birthday cake tastes divine while you're eating it; but then on the ride home from the party, your stomach may have a few points of its own to make.
The ads reveal a secret that ought to be held for the halfway point of the film (skip this paragraph if you don't want to know). Though he's having overwhelming success with the Mumfordonians; Dr. Mumford isn't a real psychologist. And of course, there's a love story (or two or three) thrown in for good measure.
It's a cozy film with fun characters, fine dialogue and an inspiringly warm and fuzzy theme. You won't have a bad time, though you'll want for your next flick to be one completely lacking sugar. I liked it!

Recreational marijuana is now legal in California, but it’s still prohibited at the University of California.
UC prohibits the use, possession and sale of marijuana — in any form — on all university property, including university-owned and leased buildings, housing and parking lots. Marijuana is also not permitted at university events or while conducting university business.
California voters on Tuesday, Nov. 8 passed Proposition 64 legalizing the use of recreational marijuana among people over the age of 21. Prop. 64 does not change UC policy.
Using and possessing marijuana is still illegal under federal law. The federal Drug Free Schools and Communities Act and the Drug Free Workplace Act require that UC, which receives federal funding, have policies that prohibit marijuana use, possession and distribution on campus and in the workplace.
UC students and employees who violate the university’s policy may face discipline, with a maximum penalty of dismissal.
In addition, UC’s Smoke and Tobacco Free Policy prohibits the use and sale of cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products on all campuses and medical centers.
For more information, visit the webpage on UC’s marijuana and drug policy.

Map Shows Data On Which States Support Colin Kaepernick The Most (PIC)
by Darrelle LincolnColin Kaepernick hasn’t played in the league since the end of the 2016 season, yet he remains one of the most talked about figures surrounding the sport.
Even more so now after his controversial workout in Atlanta over the weekend that had him suddenly changing the venue because of a waiver, and instead of having 25 NFL teams represented, it turned into just about seven or eight teams showing up.
Just a simple mention of his name would show the many people who like and dislike him, and they are loud on both sides.
Thanks to Betonline.ag, we now know which states support or do not support the former 49ers quarterback.
The below map was created by using geotagged Twitter data.
Illinois turned out to be the most supportive state, with Georgia and Orgeon following closely behind.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was basically blackballed out of the league after he took a stance to kneel in protest of police brutality during the pregame national anthem in 2016.
The 32-year-old is still trying to get back into the league.

BRINGING OUT THE DEAD (R). (Touchstone/Paramount/Buena Vista International) Director: Martin Scorsese Stars: Nicolas Cage, Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames, Tom Sizemore, Mary Beth Hurt, Marc Anthony, Cliff Curtis, with the voices of Martin Scorsese and Queen Latifah as dispatchers Running time: 121 minutes.
Martin Scorsese returns to the mean streets of New York for this blistering, intense and frenetically paced journey through 56 hours in the life of a traumatised paramedic. Paramedics are the emergency response medical teams that nightly race through the cesspool of a major city in decay, dealing with alcoholics, drug overdoses, violence, suicide, death and misery, and cleaning up the human detritus.
Frank Pierce (Nicolas Cage) is a burnt out case, fuelled by a mixture of booze, pills, adrenaline, and haunted by the ghosts of those he has been unable to save - in particular, Rosa, a teenage Puerto Rican girl. Then he begins a relationship with Mary Burke (Cage's real life wife Patricia Arquette), the daughter of a heart attack victim, and briefly glimpses a hope of salvation. We gain more insight into Frank's fragile state through the contrast of his three partners, who all have their own way of dealing with the pressures. Larry (John Goodman) is an essentially decent man who remains detached from the carnage he witnesses on a nightly basis. The fast talking and deeply religious Marcus (Ving Rhames) uses a sense of humour as a defence mechanism, while Tom (Tom Sizemore) is a volatile, blunt and colourful sociopath who loves taking risks.
Taking a break from action hero mode, Cage returns to the type of intense, flawed every man that he plays so convincingly. His drawn, haunted looking face, dishevelled and manic appearance are perfectly suited to his role here as a man on the brink of a breakdown and barely able to cope with the pressures of his job.
Bringing Out The Dead is based on the best selling novel written by Joe Connelly, himself a former paramedic, who spent ten years with the New York service, and worked on the film as a technical adviser. Script writer Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver, etc) brings a gritty, blackly comic edge to the material, which Scorsese directs with his typical relentless energy and cinematic flair. He brings a frantic quality and uncompromising realism to the film, which is shaped by his brilliant mix of music, stunning visual verve and deft use of symbolism. Veteran cinematographer Robert Richardson creates a surreal portrait of New York, and his dazzling, dizzy camera races through the city at breakneck speed.
If you thought the emergency room of a certain television series was weird, here Scorsese depicts it as anarchic, chaotic and combustible, giving these scenes a nightmarish quality. Bringing Out The Dead is a powerful return to form for Scorsese, one of America's finest directors.

LETHAL WEAPON II [Spoilers] A film review by Jeff Meyer Copyright 1989 Jeff Meyer
Okay, Cinema Philosophy Time: Can a film with an abysmal script, unremarkable photography, reams of shoot-outs and chase scenes, wind-up villains, outrageous plot blunders, gratuitous advertising (how many Subway Shops can *you* spot in this picture?) and a totally predictable climax be saved by a good rapport between the two main characters, and a basis for said relationship that overshadows the pedestrian film?
Well, no.
 I particularly like the concept for their relationship: Gibson plays a cop who is right on -- I mean *right* on -- the edge; he's a finely-honed, somewhat demented (at least in risk-taking) fighter. However, he would have burned himself out (or killed himself) long ago, if it weren't for his friends, i.e. his partner (Danny Glover) and his partner's family, who've adopted him and given him that lifeline that anchors him to reality. Their affection for him, and his for them, works. Unfortunately, that constitutes about 15% of the movie. The rest of it has to be one of the lamest excuses for an action film since FATAL BEAUTY.
Oh, Lord, where to start? The villains are drug-dealers, sadists *and* racist South African officials. (I'll bet the head honcho was originally Joseph Goebbels, Jr., but they decided to cut that bit out to save running time for the action sequences.) What these people are able to get away with under the aegis of Diplomatic Immunity is unbelievable. (Even under the Bush administration. Hell, even under the Quayle administration.) Characters are introduced and then killed left and right to get G & G (and the audience) into the "Waste Their Ass" mood -- it's pretty transparent. And if that wasn't enough, the main henchman comes out of the blue to say that he killed Gibson's character's wife before LETHAL WEAPON! Gee, why not have him responsible for shooting down Korean Airlines Flight 007, or spitting on Jesus -- *really* give Mel that excuse to Waste His Ass!
Good points, besides the chemistry between The Guys? Neat nail gun. (Craftsman?) The girl looks like Susan Dey with her own Wolfe tanning system. And there are a few good lines. Not enough to sustain the movie, though.
My suggestion: see THE ABYSS. It isn't a masterpiece, but I can still remember what happened in it. LETHAL WEAPON II has sort of faded from my memory -- no doubt some sort of natural protection mechanism.

THE WEDDING SINGER (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Frank Coraci Writer: Tim Herlihy Starring: Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Christine Taylor, Allen Covert, Angela Featherstone, Matthew Glave, Alexis Arquette, Frank Sivero, Christina Pickles, Steve Buscemi, Billy Idol, Jon Lovitz
In the first scene of "The Wedding Singer," Adam Sandler did something I never thought I'd see him do: after a drunken Best Man at a wedding gives a scathing speech to his father and his brother the groom, the wedding singer, played by Sandler, doesn't yell at him or beat him up, but instead turns to the married couple and says something about how he thinks they'll have a long happy marriage, easily smoothing over the previous speech. I did a double take. Sure, he has a different cut and all, but aside from that, I thought that would be the only difference his character has to, say, Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. Is this the same guy?
Yes and no. "The Wedding Singer" has the some of the same off-the-wall humor usually attributed to Sandler outings, but this time the filmmakers, and Sandler, have given the film a sweet overtone. The Sandler who was subject to fits of rage and various other vulgarities, the guy who would scream obscenities at a freaking golf ball are gone. "The Wedding Singer" strips Sandler down, and exposes his soft candy shell. Sure, we're still laughing, but this time I actually cared for his character for reasons other than that he was being played by Adam Sandler.
This fooled me immensely as the previews and commercials for this film made it look like yet another gimmicky flick from Sandler that you see once, laugh a couple times, and then forget completely (does anyone remember anything about "Happy Gilmore," other than it featured golf?). It could have: a) been a typical Sandler flick, where he sings some tunes and yells at people; or b) a tiresome, occasionally witty joke film making fun of the 80s (which would be a hair better). What it is is a sweet, simple tale...a slightly self-conscious 80s teen movie with a heart of gold and a couple swear words.
Sandler is Robbie Hart, a musician in his early 20s working in town as a wedding singer at receptions. One night at work, he meets Julia (Drew Barrymore - possibly looking the cutest she ever has), a waitress working with him there, and the two slowly become better and better friends. After being stood up at his own wedding to a big-haried bitch (Angela Featherstone), he starts to get more and more aquainted with her, and soon realizes he may be in love with her. Unfortunately, she's dating a Don Johnson wannabe jerk, a guy who works at a big paying job in the city, and drives a Deloreon (!!!) - Glenn (Matthew Glave). The thing is Glenn cheats on her, and is only marrying her for stability and because they've been dating for years upon years now anyway.
That's the plot in a nutshell, but it's covered with lots of sugar coating to make it nice and relaxing, as well as a billion 80s jokes, most of which are hilarious. Those of us who were forced to grow up when MTV was young, when Reagan was in office, and when everything seemed kinda honky dorey for the moment will bust a gut laughing at this film's numerous references, such as a friend of Julia's (Christine Taylor - Marcia from the Brady Bunch flicks) who has the old Madonna look, a run-down of couples who people thought would be together forever...but are not anymore (Burt and Loni, Donald and Ivana, Woody and Mia...), and a member of Robbie's band (Alexis Arquette - the Arquette who tried to shoot Travolta and Jackson in "Pulp Fiction") who bears an uncanny resemblance to Boy George...who alas gets the worst case of "beating a dead horse" jokedom in the film.
And we even get a couple dynamite cameos, one from Steve Buscemi (an old pal of Sandler's - he's been in "Airheads" AND "Billy Madison"), and another from Jon Lovitz, both which are tied for funniest part of the film. Buscemi gets to play the drunken best man in the beginning, and does it to comic perfection, while Lovitz gets a chance to show why some of us sometimes think he's really really funny, playing another Wedding Singer, only more of a lounge lizard. His exiting grin is priceless. And oh...how could I forget: Billy Idol, playing his own self-obsessed self...and not doing too bad a job at it either.
The thing that I'll really remember, which really makes this film seem like something, is the way the film just feels sweet. Who'd of thunk that a scene where Sandler sings a tune in that tiny voice he does to Drew would actually make me smile? Sure, he does some of his usual schtick, but most of it is what you've seen in the commercials. This time his temper is very much on hold, and when he lets it go, you actually feel bad for the guy. I loved his reaction when he was told his fiancee was standing him up at his wedding: he just stands there with a half-grin on his face, and quietly walks away into the Groom's tent where he then throws a fit. I laughed much more than I would if he had torn the place down or something like that.
I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of Sandler, or ex-SNL members who try to films either. But "The Wedding Singer" gives a very funny comedian a chance to open up a little bit more, to do his usualy schtick but also do some stuff he's never been able to do before. The film could have been better (it could certainly have done some truly satirical takes on the 80s, like materialism, which it touches but only briefly), but it's still an enjoyable, nostalgic, and even a bit touching time at the movies.

Mr. Gray Squirrel certainly was mistaken, when he thought that Tommy Fox was dead and came down out of the chestnut tree to look at him. Tommy wasn’t even ill. You remember that he was very hungry? And that he had not been able to find anything to eat? Tommy could not climb the tree, where Mr. Gray Squirrel sat. So the only thing left for him to do was to make Mr. Gray Squirrel come down where he was.
That was what Tommy Fox was thinking about, when he sat there on his haunches and looked up so innocently at Mr. Gray Squirrel. As Tommy sat there a bright idea came to him. So he held his paw to his stomach and pretended to be ill. And as soon as he saw that Mr. Gray Squirrel thought he was ill, Tommy fell over on his side and made believe he was dead.
Though his eyes were shut tight, Tommy’s ears were so sharp that he could tell when Mr. Gray Squirrel came down the tree. And he could hear him slowly picking his way nearer and nearer. Tommy’s nose was sharp, too, and he could smell Mr. Gray Squirrel. He smelled so good that Tommy couldn’t help opening one eye the least bit, just to see him. That was when Mr. Gray Squirrel noticed that his eyelid quivered. And Tommy saw at once that Mr. Gray Squirrel had caught that flicker of his eyelid, and that he was frightened. Tommy knew then that he must act quickly.
He jumped up like a flash. But quick as he was, Mr. Gray Squirrel was even quicker. He reached the tree just ahead of Tommy Fox; and though Tommy leaped high up the trunk, he was too late. Mr. Gray Squirrel scrambled up the tree so fast that his big, bushy tail just whisked across Tommy’s face. And in another second he was safe in the treetop, chattering and scolding, and calling Tommy names.
Tommy Fox felt very foolish. He realized that if he had jumped up without first opening his eye he would not have given Mr. Gray Squirrel any warning; and then he would have caught the plump old fellow. But it was too late now. Another time he would know better. And he sneaked off, to try the same trick on one of Mr. Gray Squirrel’s friends.
It was no use. Mr. Squirrel followed him, jumping from one treetop to another, and made a great noise, calling after him, and jeering at him, and telling all his friends about the mean trick Tommy had tried to play on him.
And to Tommy’s great disgust, an old crow high up in a tall tree heard the story, and haw-hawed loudly, he was so amused. He made such a racket that all the forest-people heard him; and Tommy knew that there was no sense in trying to catch a squirrel around there that day. He went down into the meadow and began hunting crickets. And though he didn’t have as good a lunch as he wanted, probably he ate all that was good for him.

This package contains the JSTags taglib. This taglib
has a collection of tags which each correspond to some Javascript function
that can be rendered on a page. These functions are general-purpose-type
things. For instance, if you need a function to trim whitespace from both
ends of a string, something which is not built in to Javascript, you can
drop the fullTrim string on your page and it will render the fullTrim()
Javascript function, which you can then use throughout your page.
This package depends on the following extra packages to compile and run: None.

Definition: Differentiation is unique qualities, perceived or real, that distinguish a good or service from a competing offer.
For example, a consumer products company may develop a razor with an additional blade and advertise that it produces a closer shave.
Companies use differentiation in order to improve sales and/or charge a higher price.


Last Sumatran rhino in Malaysia dies
by Jared Leone, Cox Media Group National Content DeskKUALA LUMPUR, Malayasia -
Imam, the last Sumatran rhinoceros in Malaysia, died Saturday.
The 25-year-old rhino, died of natural causes. She had uterine tumors that were discovered after she was rescued in 2014. She was in significant pain from growing pressure on her bladder from the tumors.
Still, her death came sooner than expected.
"Despite us knowing that this would happen sooner rather than later, we are so very saddened by this news," said Sabah Environment Minister Christina Liew.
Her death comes six months after the death of Tam, the country's only male rhino. The pair were supposed to mate, however because of his infertility and her cancer, they were unable.
Researchers saved genetic material from both the rhinos to use for future possible reproduction. Scientists in Malaysia have tried unsuccessfully since 2011 to breed the species through in-vitro fertilization, Reuters reported.
The Sumatra rhino is the smallest of the rhinoceros species and is the only rhino with two horns.
Due to poaching and deforestation, the dwindling Sumatran rhino population is estimated to be between 30 and 80, mostly living in isolated groups in the wild in Sumatra and Borneo.

In this blog post, I am gonna talk about the ggplot2. ggplot2 is based on the idea of “grammar of graphics” which means a graphs can be build from same basic components like : Data, Geoms (Marks or points that represents the data point) and a coordinate system (x, y, z etc).
And with ggplot2 you can also play with aesthetics of geoms like size, color, location/position of your data points on coordinate system using “aes” argument.
So, lets make some plots and while going through the plotting, I will try to explain the details of arguments and codes for particular plots.
I am going to use inbuilt dataset “mtcars” and “mpg” for plotting.
So, if you look at the data, it looks like this.
head(mtcars)
## mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb
## Mazda RX4 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4
## Mazda RX4 Wag 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4
## Datsun 710 22.8 4 108 93 3.85 2.320 18.61 1 1 4 1
## Hornet 4 Drive 21.4 6 258 110 3.08 3.215 19.44 1 0 3 1
## Hornet Sportabout 18.7 8 360 175 3.15 3.440 17.02 0 0 3 2
## Valiant 18.1 6 225 105 2.76 3.460 20.22 1 0 3 1
Before starting, you need to install the packages and if you already have the packages, you can load the same using “library” function or if you don’t have them, use “install.packages” for installation and after that use “library” to load the particular package. Along with ggplot2, I also installed dplyr package as it gives you more power to mutate or filter your data and other interesting twitch and tweaks.
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
##
## Attaching package: 'dplyr'
## The following objects are masked from 'package:stats':
##
## filter, lag
## The following objects are masked from 'package:base':
##
## intersect, setdiff, setequal, union
so, if you write something like
ggplot(mtcars, aes(cyl,mpg)); it will mean mtcars is your data and for geom x= cyl and y= mpg.
mtcars %>% ggplot() + geom_density(aes(mpg))
1. (i) Lets say you want to fill the plot area with red color. Okay, before going to that, I want point out something important, so if you want to modify your geom or data points you need to use your arguments within aesthetic function, however if it is to modify the background of overall visual of the plot, you can use arguments outside of aes or aesthetic function.
so, for filling the density plot with red, we can modify our codes like:
mtcars %>% ggplot(aes()) + geom_density(aes(mpg), fill = "red")
mpg

mpg %>% ggplot(aes(class)) + geom_bar()
mpg %>% ggplot(aes(class)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = drv))
mpg %>% ggplot(aes(class)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = drv), position = "dodge")
2(iii) how about flipping the coordinate? So here one thing to remember when you keep adding the functions in ggplot it should be added with “+” sign. so, here we are adding “coord_flip” with previous code.
mpg %>% ggplot(aes(class)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = drv), position = "dodge") + coord_flip()
Before wrapping up the post, how about we make a data-frame from scratch using some codes: So, here we made one students data table with their name and marks.
std.data <- data.frame(std_id = c(1:5),
std_name=c("Sam", "Rick", "Dan", "Ryan", "Rex"),
Marks = c(80, 85, 93, 95, 88))
print(std.data)
## std_id std_name Marks
## 1 1 Sam 80
## 2 2 Rick 85
## 3 3 Dan 93
## 4 4 Ryan 95
## 5 5 Rex 88
