I tried the $3,000 digital weights machine that's like a Peloton for strength training and found how at-home fitness systems are the future — at least for those that can afford it, Business Insider - Business Insider Singapore
by Katie Canales, Megan Hernbroth, Business Insider US- Tonal is an at-home workout machine that’s like a Peloton for strength training that mounts to your wall and offers on-demand coaching and digitally-connected personalized exercises.
- It costs $3,000 and is one of the first products in the at-home fitness workout market that focuses on resistance training instead of cardio, like Peloton does.
- I recently gave Tonal a try to see how it compares to traditional weight lifting.
- Take a look at how my workout went.

Tonal is an at-home strength training machine that uses electromagnetism to create resistance and mounts to your wall for a personalized workout with over 200 exercises, like deadlifts, bicep curls, and overhead presses, and on-demand coaching.
With Tonal, performance anxiety at the gym could be a thing of the past – no more feeling self-conscious in front of your seemingly more experienced gym-goers, no more 30-plus minute round trips to the gym, and no more gym memberships.
That is, if you can afford the $3,000 price tag.
Tonal was invented by Aly Orady, a Hewlett-Packard veteran who wanted an easier way to stay in shape at home that didn’t involve sweaty, used equipment and tedious trips to the gym.
It operates similarly to its cardio cousin Peloton, whose stationary bikes retail for $2,000. Both are a part of a growing trend that is seeing digital, at-home fitness systems on the rise and gym attendance and boutique fitness studios declining in popularity.
Tonal is one of the first products in the market with a focus on strength training. Fitness experts have increasingly stressed the importance of resistance training in addition to cardio to maintain good health. And in an interview with TechCrunch, Orady said that a significant amount of Tonal users also own a Peloton bike (amounting to a collective $5,000 investment, if you were wondering.)
I recently tried a Tonal workout for myself at the company’s San Francisco showroom. It was a bit hard to get used to at first, but I knew that if I were to own one, I’d adjust and would eventually have a convenient way of staying fit in the privacy of my home.
Too bad it’s way out of my budget and that even if it wasn’t, mounting such a piece of equipment onto a wall in my rental apartment would likely make my landlord less than pleased.
Here’s how my workout went.
When I work out, I opt for weight lifting rather than cardio. So Tonal stuck out more so than would a cardio-based at-home fitness machine, like the ultra-popular Peloton bike.
And that’s something Tonal has going for it — it’s among the first strength training-focused, digitally-connected fitness systems that you can use in the privacy of your home.
The company has a showroom in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try.
I was a little apprehensive. Eliminating the need to travel to and from a gym is appealing, and so is not having to work out surrounded by strangers.
But I didn’t know how I’d like using what is called digital weights instead of tangible, more traditional dumbbells or machines.
The Tonal machine looks a lot like a flat-screen TV with two handlebars protruding from its sides. They’re adjustable, with interchangeable attachments at their ends.
The resistance is created through electromagnetism, which basically means that the weights are digitized.
You can activate the resistance yourself from the Bluetooth-connected handles or from the screen. Just click the button on the handles with your thumb to turn the weights off …
… and on.
Before I could start working out though, I had to create an account. I filled in my weight, height, and chose my goals for using the machine. I chose the Build Muscle feature and the Get Lean tab as my secondary goal.
Users then do a one-time preliminary test before getting started that allows the machine to assess your strength and customize its settings to your body.
It had me do three different exercises to decide how much weight I should use for some basic moves.
Now, whenever I started any workout targeting whatever muscle group, the machine would know how much to “load onto my plate.”
The weights that the machine assigned me were similar to what I would usually use at the gym, except for maybe the deadlift — I’ll usually go a bit heavier there than 7 lbs.
The calibration test was also a good time for me to fiddle with the machine and get to know how it works.
There are three ways to adjust the handlebars.
A lever at the top slides it up and down the side of the panel, a lever in the middle of the bar allows you to move it vertically at different degree angles, and a button right below that can move the bars inward and outward.
It took me a bit to get the hang of it, but it also takes a while to get used to a set of machines at a new gym. After some time, I’d imagine using it would become second nature.
Peloton tunes you into live classes, but Tonal’s sessions are pre-recorded at a studio in San Francisco featuring trainers in the area.
This was my first training session ever where I was following along with a virtual instructor, and I quickly learned that I was not a fan.
I kept turning and twisting toward the screen to try to keep up with him.
Once my strength was calibrated, it was time for the actual workout. There were a slew of programs to choose from, with all of them ranging from 15 to 30 minutes in length. The selection was a little overwhelming.
I settled on one called “Leg Day Revival.” Sumo stretches, pull-throughs, and lunges were in the line-up. It was 3 sets of 15 reps.
All three of the moves are exercises that I don’t usually gravitate toward in the gym, which means that I was relying on my virtual Tonal instructor to learn them.
This may have been one of my biggest qualms with the machine: I had no idea if I was executing the moves with the correct form.
This wasn’t cardio exercise where the technique wasn’t as much of a focus — you can certainly hurt yourself on an at-home treadmill or bike, but the movement is more straightforward.
Lifting weights incorrectly can lead to some serious injuries, and hypothetically if I was alone in my living room using a Tonal machine with improper form, no one would be around to help.
I asked one of the Tonal staff members if the machine could correct me if my form was off, and she said no. The only kind of correcting technology the machine employs is when you’re lifting too quickly or too slowly.
I found myself wanting an actual human standing next to me showing me the best ways to perform the exercises.
What I liked more was the free-weights feature on the machine. It allowed me to choose individual exercises to do across different muscle groups.
I was able to choose exercises I was more familiar with, like a bicep curl. Since I’ve done these before, I was more confident that my form was more on track.
I tried out some of Tonal’s unique features with the bicep curl, like the Chains mode, which simulates a traditional weight-lifting practice that adds more weight at the top of a lift.
There’s also an Eccentric mode that challenges you during the negative part of your rep, which means that when gravity is making a lift easier on you, the machine kicks in with a dose of resistance.
The Eccentric mode is also a unique industry feat, as reported by Inc. In a gym, even if you have a personal trainer, there’s no way to add resistance when gravity is working on your side in the middle of a lift. Tonal can do that.
Source: Inc
The machine also has a built-in spotter feature, which doesn’t correct you if your form is off, but will lessen or increase the weight if you’re going too slowly or too quickly, respectively.
For example, when the Chains mode was activated on the bicep curl, I struggled — and the machine picked up on that. It automatically decreased my weight a couple notches.
When the workout was over, my muscles burned. I never doubted that a Tonal workout would be effective and that I’d wake up sore the next day (which I did.)
But the issue is that these machines are still so far out of the price range for a large group of people, including myself, even though there are payment plans.
A Tonal machine retails for $2,995, plus a monthly $49 video training subscription fee. And on top of that, unlike Peloton, a Tonal machine requires mounting to a wall in your home.
Source: Business Insider
Tonal professionals can attach the machine “to most walls,” with only about eight holes being made, a Tonal representative told me via email.
Source: Tonal
The Tonal spokesperson said that the company has a number of customers who are renters that enjoy the compactness of the machine. But many rental apartments likely wouldn’t allow the installation, so you should definitely check first before buying.
So the target market for this kind of equipment isn’t just those who could afford the $3,000-plus investment for the machine — it’s also likely those who can afford to own a home.
Which is not an inexpensive feat in the pricey Bay Area, though Tonal is used by customers across the nation.
 And I can’t deny that, at the end of the day, the machine is effective.
Fitness experts have also increasingly stressed in recent years that staying in good health takes more than just cardio. You need to lift, too.

So, as TechCrunch reported, a large portion of Tonal users also own a Peloton to get in their regular cardio.

Sudoku, Covering Problems, and Logic Design
Since starting college, I’ve been flying more regularly between home and school. To pass some of that time, I started doing Sudoku puzzles, but I rather quickly moved from being interested in solving the puzzles themselves to being interesting in algorithms to generate and solve them.
Constraints
- Start from an empty board when generating a puzzle.
- While there are numerous transformations that can be applied to a single solved puzzle to generate many “new” ones, doing so seems to defeat the idea of building a program that could generate a Sudoku puzzle as it requires that you already have one.
- Treat solving a puzzle the exact same as generating a new one.
- Consider generation of a Sudoku puzzle to be the generalization of solving one.
- An algorithm that is functional and easily understandable.
- Efficiency often comes at the price of readability, so for now readability is the priority. In the future, I may revisit this with a more sophisticated algorithm.
Approach
There are many different algorithmic and mathematical approaches to Sudoku, but the depth-first backtracking algorithm seems to best fit the constraints. However, if there is one thing worth noting it is that Sudoku is NP-Complete and as such, depth-first search will have an extremely large solution space to search.
- Zero will represent an unassigned cell.
- If the grid contains all zeros, a new Sudoku puzzle will be generated.
- Numbers 1-9 will be placed randomly in the first row.
- If there is an existing puzzle, search for its solution.
The Depth-First Backtracking Algorithm
- Advancing row-wise from the top-left, place the lowest valid number into the cell.
- Go to the next open cell.
- If there are no valid numbers, go back to the previous cell and place the next smallest valid number.
- If there is no valid number at this cell, delete its value and go back to the previous cell.
The algorithm generates a solution from scratch in an acceptable time-frame. In this case, the algorithm finishes when it reaches a leaf at the bottom level of the tree (where all 81 numbers are placed.) However, when solving a given Sudoku puzzle, there (usually) just a single leaf that must be found. Furthermore, in this scenario there are certain nodes (valued cells) that must be part of the solution.
To further illustrate the limitations of the depth-first solution, I extended the code to allow for a 16x16 game of Sudoku (using hexadecimal for a bit of extra fun.) The extension from 9x9 to 16x16 expands the grid from 81 numbers to 256 numbers. This dramatically increases the size of the search tree and prevents the depth-first backtracking algorithm from generating a solution in any reasonable time-frame.
Although “Hexadecimal” Sudoku may be rather useless, there are many engineering tasks that require solutions to large NP-Complete problems.
Digital Logic Design
Sudoku is an example of an exact covering problem, but in terms of Digital Logic Design, solutions for unate (for logic minimization) and binate (for technology mapping) are extremely important steps in logic synthesis.

Installation¶
python-geosupport¶
You can install python-geosupport using pip:
$ pip install python-geosupport
Or clone this repository, cd into it and:
$ python setup.py install
Geosupport Desktop Edition¶
python-geosupport requires a local installation of Geosupport Desktop Edition (19b):
Geosupport Desktop is not available for Mac but it can be used through a containerized environment like Docker. See the Related Projects section for more information.
Windows¶
Important: Ensure you select the correct Geosupport installation that corresponds to the Python interpreter you are using. Ex., Python 32-bit will only work with Geosupport 32-bit.
You can determine if you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit python interpreter by opening the command prompt or powershell and typing python. You should see something like this:
Environmental Variables¶
By default, a clean installation of Geosupport Desktop Edition will set the appropriate environmental variables. If you are experiencing issues setting up your environment, you will want to ensure the following environmental variables are set.
GEOFILES: Path to the fls directory of Geosupport. Example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Geosupport Desktop Edition\fls\
PATH: Add the bin directory of Geosupport to the path variable. Example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Geosupport Desktop Edition\bin
Alternatively see the Configuration section for other (easier) options on specifying a path to the Geosupport directory.
Linux¶
Extract the .zip to a folder of your choice and set the GEOFILES
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environmental variables of the fls and lib directories:
export GEOFILES=/var/geosupport/version-19b/fls/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/var/geosupport/version-19b/lib/

Spiel
|
Inherited by ServiceResponse, and ServiceUser.
This is a tagging interface which identifies classes whose instances can be encoded using the json_encode()
function of PHP. Implementing classes must declare the attributes to be included in the encoded value as public. In addition, you can define two public static properties of the implementing class which provide additional metadata to Spiel when interface documentation is produced for a service returning an instance of the class:
The $objectProperties
array provides information on any public attributes of the class which are themselves composed of JSONEncodable
objects. The $enumProperties
array provides information on any public attributes which are actually instances of an Enum
object. In both cases, the array element is a key/value pair with the name of the attribute as the key and the name of its type as its value. If the described attribute actually provides an array, then the value of the key/value pair would be an array containing a string identifying the name of each element's type. Consider the following example:
Note that one thing to keep in mind is that the actual JSONEncodable
object returned in a particular service invocation may be an instance of a derived class of that identified in the $objectProperties
attribute. In such a case, more data than is indicated by the class identified can be returned if the object's derived class has more public attributes which can be encoded. This will not necessarily cause an issue but it can result in more data than you expected being returned for certain invocations of the service in question. One possible approach to dealing with this is to implement a "slicing copy" method in the base class which returns a copy of the object but as a new instance of the base class. The following service example illustrates this approach.


Cultural Impressions of DBC - Week 1 Thoughts
October 10, 2014
Well first of all I think it's going to be a wild ride. Watching the video with Shereef not only reminded me of how much work it will be but also how much responsibility I have in this process. Hearing him talk or write about the analogy of the restaurant vs. the kitchen and think that it's a great way to approach this experience. Not only do I think I/ we will learn faster with the kitchen mentality where we all get messy, make things, create the experience that we want to have, but I also think that it will make our lives after DBC much richer because rather than there being a dropoff after DBC this mentality will stay with us.
I guess my computer's mouse will be my helper in the DBC kitchen
I think that it will be extremely important to remind myself that I am responsible for learning and taking advantage of the opportunities/ resources that DBC provides. I think this is one of the places where my expectations have gradually changed and I really like the fact that I am expecting to have so much more agency and responsibility when it comes to my experience at DBC.
I couldn't be more excited to participate in this learning environment and have become increasingly excited as I have been noticing the incremental improvements of my understanding of CLI and git/github this week. Can't wait to start on html next week!

My top five shortcuts to use with Apple TV
Source: Joseph Keller/iMore
The Apple TV actions are some of my favorite new additions in iOS 13. They make using my Apple TV easier, and I no longer need to find hacked-together solutions just to turn it off and on. Now there are shortcut actions to wake up and put my Apple TV to sleep, play and pause, open a specific app, and more.
I've created shortcuts and automations around a number of these actions to add a little fluidity to my day, especially to the beginning and end of my work day. I've also built shortcuts that make switching between apps easier. Here are some of my favorite shortcuts and automations to use with my Apple TV.
Save 40% and get three months of wireless service for just $45
Apple TV On
Source: iMore
I create shortcuts like this because I like using them with Siri and my HomePods.
Another simple one, this one is for waking up your Apple TV and is great if that's all you want to do. So I can just say "Hey Siri, Apple TV on," and the Apple TV in my office turns on. This shortcut also opens the TV app on the Apple TV automatically, as I've had trouble getting that to happen on its own in the past.
Apple TV Off
Source: iMore
This one puts my Apple TV to sleep. And unlike the my 'Apple TV On,' which I have because I like controlling things with my voice, this shortcut is flat-out more convenient than using the Siri Remote. Whereas with the remote you need to press and hold the TV button to activate Control Center, then click Sleep, this shortcut is a simple voice command or button press, then off goes the Apple TV.
Morning routine
Source: iMore
What this automation does is shut off my Aurora LED panel in my room, which I use as one of my primary light sources, as well as turn on a lamp in my office. At the same time, this automation also turns on the Apple TV in my office and, for good measure, opens the TV app on the Apple TV. Uses an NFC disc I have attached to the desk in my room.
This automation works with both Apple TV and a couple of HomeKit accessories. I work from home, which means that all of the accessories that I need to work with are on the same network, so I don't need to manage multiple locations.
Close of business
Source: iMore
This one is essentially the opposite of 'Morning routine.' It shuts off the light in my office and puts the Apple TV to sleep. It then turns on the Aurora panel in my room. Like 'Morning routine,' this automation is attached to an NFC disc, this time on the desk in my office.
Watch Something
Source: iMore
This one could actually be called "Watch whatever." While this shortcut has Netflix in it, you can change it to any app that's present on your Apple TV. To do that, just tap the blue text that says Netflix, then select the app you want to use. Do the same thing to change My Office to your Apple TV. You should also rename this shortcut so you can use the right name with Siri.
I've actually got a few versions of this shortcut with tweaked names and different apps just so I can open various apps on my Apple TV hands-free. I like to use these shortcuts with my HomePod, which is in my office and can listen for shortcut commands, even if it kicks the actual processing back to my iPhone.

Arizona man arrested in 4-decade-old cold-case murder
by Jackie SaloAn Arizona man has been nabbed in a cold-case investigation four decades after the body of a murdered 21-year-old woman was discovered in Nevada, officials said.
Charles Gary Sullivan, 73, was extradited Friday to Nevada from Arizona, where he was arrested in the 1979 slaying of Julia Howard, according to the Nevada Attorney General’s Office.
The break in the cold case came after authorities used DNA technology with the evidence, officials said.
Woodward was last seen alive in February 1979 at a San Francisco airport before heading to Nevada to look or job opportunities, authorities said.
She was discovered dead from blunt force trauma the next month in a shallow grave 15 miles north of Reno, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Woodward’s body was about a mile from another homicide victim, Jeannie Smith, whose remains were discovered buried in November 1979, the outlet reported. She also died from blunt force trauma and her case remains unsolved.
However, Sullivan hasn’t been charged in Smith’s death and police haven’t linked the two cases, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Authorities are expected to release more information about Woodward’s slaying after Sullivan’s arraignment, which is set for Tuesday in Washoe District Court, the outlet reported.

(Sony Pictures Classics) Starring: Heather Matarazzo, Brendan Sexton Jr., Matthew Faber, Daria Kalinina, Eric Mabius, Bill Buell, Angela Pietropinto, Scott Coogan. Screenplay: Todd Solondz. Producer: Todd Solondz. Director: Todd Solondz. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo), an 11-year-old resident of suburban New Jersey, is a typical seventh grader, which is to say that she's miserable. Actually, she may be more typical, which is to say more miserable. Saddled with intelligence, less than spectacular looks and a cruelly unfortunate name, Dawn lives in a daily hell in which finding a safe place to sit in the cafeteria is an ordeal and a good day is one in which she isn't called "Wienerdog" or "lesbo." Tortured at school and ignored at home, Dawn is the kind of character which in a more mainstream movie would find some inner reserve of strength or discover a heretofore unknown talent, and become loved and respected by all. Well, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, Todd Solondz's brutally funny portrait of the nightmare that is adolescence.
It should be made perfectly clear that WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is not, in that favored film terminology, a "coming-of-age" story. No one becomes an adult at 11, and while Solondz features such rites of passage as Dawn's first big crush and first kiss, she learns no great truths about life. No, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is about a much more basic truth -- that there is no more unpleasant time in a human life than the middle school years.
WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is an episodic story which follows Dawn through several weeks of her seventh-grade year, and some of those episodes are so perfectly handled that they are painful to watch. When Dawn is forced by a teacher to read an essay on "The Importance of Dignity" in front of the class, she reads quickly and almost silently, wanting nothing more than for the moment to be over and to shrink into the walls. In a later scene, Dawn plays piano for the object of her desire, her brother's garage band-mate Steve (Eric Mabius), and practically glows when he pays her an off-handed compliment. It is surprising that Solondz has captured the world of a young girl with such detail, but he is dealing with a time where the horrors of unpopularity are very similar between the genders, and where knowledge about sex is still too abstract to make the psychology of adolescence completely different. Dawn is a girl, but she didn't have to be.
The fact that she _is_ a girl simply allowed Heather Matarazzo to nail the part with a startling willingness to look completely homely, and to be less than heroic. One of the things which makes Dawn such a convincing character is that she is no less vicious than the classmates who tease her; she simply doesn't have the power over them that they have over her. When she finds someone over whom she _does_ have power, like her younger sister Missy (a distressingly adorable child perpetually wearing her pink ballet outfit and prancing about, played by Daria Kalinina) or wimpy playmate Troy (Scott Coogan), Dawn lashes out at them in exactly the same language with which she herself has been victimized. Solondz realizes that the essence of this time between childhood and adulthood is status, established through threat, insult, appearance and conformity. Dawn is petty and vindictive, and given the opportunity, it is clear that she would treat other classmates the way she is being treated. The magic of Matarazzo's performance is that we feel for her not because she is better than those who torment her, but because her fate is so familiar.
When Solondz does stumble, it is because he tries to move beyond the simple truths of Dawn's life to big-picture issues, or to give his story an artificial sense of resolution. A school bully (Brendan Sexton Jr.) with whom Dawn develops a strange friendship is given a bad home life to explain his behavior, and the plot takes an implausible turn as Dawn goes on a quest in New York. Some of the surreal comic moments (like Dawn nearly blinding a teacher with a spitball) are funny, but they pull us away from the everyday horrors of Dawn's life, which are funny only with the remove of years. The old saying that comedy is simply tragedy plus time is most certainly true when it comes to adolescence, and WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE is a winning portrait of the only story that matters when you are eleven years old and different: getting out alive.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 living dolls: 9.

About
Cypher tools makes working with Cypher a bit more fun, currently its still in its early stages but aims to be a general toolset for cypher queries.
Using Cypher Tools
Object to String (objToString)
Converts an object to something like JSON but in a way that's readable by and includable in a cypher query. Great for times when Cypher parameters can't be used and you must resort to string building
objToString({ movie: "The One", genre: "Action" }) // Returns // '{ movie: "The One", genre: "Action" }'
Object to Parameters (objToParams)
Converts an object to something like JSON, very similar to above, but the resulting string doesn't provide the values in the values field like above. It instead tells Neo4J to look for the values in a provided parameter. In other words, a loopback object string.
This is needed in situations where an object parameter can be used but the parameter can't be used directly, only the parameter contents.
A good example is the predicate in a match or merge statement, you can't do this
match ({predicate})
but you can do thismatch ({key: {predicate}.key})
. That's essentially what this method does.objToParams("predicate", { movie: "The One", genre: "Action" })
// Returns // '{ movie: {predicate}.movie, genre: {predicate}.genre }'
Note: Always use parameters wherever possible, for a number of reasons, among them is faster code, speed, and many automated optimizations on the database side.
Labels to String (labelsToString)
Converts an array of labels to a string, a simple and quick helper function but very useful.
labelsToString(["Movie", "Action"]) // Returns // ":Movie:Action"

John Carroll Editor/Critic for The Movie Page (http://moviepage.hypermart.net/) Review of DICK.
Dick, starring Michelle Williams, Kirsten Dunst, Dan Hedaya, Will Ferrell, Bruce McCulloch, Dave Foley, Jim Breuer and Ana Gasteyer. Directed by Andrew Fleming. 1999.
Reviewed by John Carroll.
 While the premise is a little crazy, Dick is able to keep its audience laughing through a strong supporting cast that looks a lot like a Lorne Michaels reunion.
The two lead roles go to Michelle Williams of TV's popular Dawson's Creek and Kirsten Dunst, who has recieved raves from such films as Drop Dead Gorgeous and also her guest role in NBC's ER. Williams plays Arlene, a ditsy 15 year old high schooler. Dunst, not to be outdone, plays an equally ditsy high schooler by the name of Betsy. The film takes place during the presidency of Richard Nixon, in the 1970s. Arlene and Betsy start off as two outsiders in a disco world, but slowly evolve. Unfortunately, as their characters evolve, they get less and less funny. Luckily, Lorne Michaels's graudates step in to carry the load.
Lorne's reunion in Dick includes current Saturday Night Live stars (Will Ferrell and Ana Gasteyer), past SNL stars (Jim Breuer, Harry Shearer) and the stars of Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch). These cast members provide the slick and slightly irreverent humor that fuels Dick, especially when Dunst's and Williams's characters lose the charm and hilarity that they possessed at the beginning of the film.
Dick starts off fast and furious.  They get their chance to meet Preisdent Nixon when they accidentally see a confidential list of Nixon paying off certain high office politicians. They become "official White House dog walkers."  Dick never goes political, except for one funny sequence cocnerning Nixon's thoughts on the war.
As Dick progresses, however, Andrew Fleming (who directed and wrote the screenplay) puts his two main characters under metamorphasis. They hear Nixon's racial remarks and decide to not put up with it anymore. While this may seem like the right thing to do character-wise, it leaves an empty space in this film because Fleming seems to forget he is directing a comedy. Enter Will Ferrell and Bruce McCulloch.
Ferrell and McCulloch play Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the Washington Post reporters who originally broke the Watergate scandal. While not as funny as Dunst and Williams originally were, Ferrell and McCulloch are able to suffice for the rest of the film. Dan Hedaya, who portrays President Nixon to a dime, gives a strong performance throughout the film. Fleming seemed to have trouble transitioning his characters from good to bad (or vice versa), all except for Nixon, which is why Hedaya is able to give such a strong performance. He moves from the mischievous Nixon, trying to cover up everything, to a paranoid president looking out for every Tom, Dick and Harry coming his way. Hedaya's presence is welcome, and such a versatile actor is very beneficial to such a young cast.
Dick, overall, is a decent comedy. The cast is picture-perfect, whether it be the Lorne Michaels crew pitching in their efforts, or the young duo of Williams and Dunst portraying their ditsy, out-of-touch 70s high schoolers. Dan Hedaya steals the show as Nixon, and had Fleming been able to keep his characters the same, or transition them better, Dick could have been as great as 1999's other comedy studs, Bowfinger and Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Yes. (Actually, a good answer would be "sounds dangerous", because it is.)
When the test part of a for
is omitted it is
as if the value true were put in its place.
So,
for ( initialize ; ; change ) loopBody ;
is the same as:
for ( initialize ; true ; change ) loopBody ;
This is done for compatibility with the language "C" and should not be done in newly written programs. In truth, it should never have been done in "C".


Posted on 25/06/2017 at 2:30 PM by The Vibe.
Swiftly like a samurai sword, the fourth week of Google Summer of Code 2017
whizzed past me. In this week, I worked on adding support to import a
Daru::DataFrame
from a Mongo
collection, and also made changes to the
Redis
Importer as per the suggestions. With the second month of coding
to start in another week, the project is going as per schedule.
According to my timeline, the importer I had planned to extend support this week, was the Mongo Importer. Mongo is a NoSQL database, which works on the concept of storing data as documents, and grouping all these documents under collections. These collections are then stored in a database and accessed as BSON (Binary JSON) documents when required.
For this Importer, I used the
mongo
gem. The BSON documents returned from a collection, are parsed to JSON by
the Mongo gem, through a to_json
method. The best part is that, the JSON
Importer built last week has been re-used (inherited) by the Mongo Importer
to re-use the feature of JSON-path selectors.
#! lib/daru/io/importers/mongo.rb
require 'daru/io/importers/json'
module Daru
module IO
module Importers
class Mongo < JSON
def call
# Connects to a collection
# Finds matching BSON documents
# Converts BSON documents to JSON object
@json_input = @client[@collection]
.find(@filter, skip: @skip, limit: @limit)
.to_json
# calls the JSON Importer
super
end
end
end
end
end
The client is obtained through a variety of arguments - String
, Hash
or
an existing Mongo::Client
connection, through the private instance method
get_client()
of Daru::IO::Importers::Mongo
class.
def get_client(connection)
case connection
when ::Mongo::Client
connection
when Hash
hosts = connection.delete :hosts
::Mongo::Client.new(hosts, connection)
when String
::Mongo::Client.new(connection)
else
raise ArgumentError,
"Expected #{connection} to be either a Mongo instance, "\
'Mongo connection Hash, or Mongo connection URL String. '\
"Received #{connection.class} instead."
end
end
Progress related to the Mongo
Importer can tracked on
this Pull Request.
Here are some screenshots from the YARD documentation.
daru-io uses a lot of gems that parse various file / database formats. Having all these gems as development dependencies would be costly, especially as daru-io is ideated to support partial requiring of certain importers / exporters. This means that the use-case of daru-io could be any of the below statements -
require 'daru/io' # => Requires ALL Importers and Exporters
require 'daru/io/importers' # => Requires ALL Importers
require 'daru/io/importers/json' # => Requires only JSON Importer
Hence, a better trade-off for using the various parsing these parsing gems is
to have them as optional dependencies, rather than development dependencies.
By optional dependencies, the parsing gems will directly just be require
d
by daru-io. In case the require
d gem isn't present in the environment,
the default LoadError
is rescued to print a more helpful message. This
paves way for an optional_gem()
method, which can be used like
# Used in Excel Importer (say)
optional_gem 'spreadsheet', '~> 1.1.1'
# => true
# Used in ActiveRecord Importer (say)
optional_gem 'activerecord', '~> 4.0', requires: 'active_record'
# => LoadError: Please install the activerecord gem 4.0 version, with
# `gem install activerecord -v '4.0'` to use the
# Daru::IO::Importers::ActiveRecord module."
This optional_gem()
method could be achieved with something like this,
under the hood -
module Daru
module IO
class Base
def optional_gem(dependency, version=nil, requires: nil,
callback: self.class.name)
gem dependency, version
require requires || dependency
rescue LoadError
statement =
if version.nil?
"gem install #{dependency}"
else
"gem install #{dependency} -v '#{version}'"
end
raise LoadError,
"Please install the #{dependency} gem #{version} version, with "\
"#{statement} to use the #{callback} module."
end
end
end
end
Progress related to this, can be tracked in this Issue and this Pull Request.
Redis's scan method fetches all matching keys in a random order, and provides
the results in a paginated format. This pagination traversal has successfully
been implemented in the Redis Importer this week, along with count
and
offset
features. However, the addition of offset
doesn't seem to be
very significant owing to the random order characteristic of Redis.
Also, discussion is still going on, regarding whether a chunk
feature can be
added, to enable usage with the Parallel
gem, for running same computation
on multiple dataframes in parallel.
Progress related to the Redis Importer, can be tracked in this Pull Request.
rubocop-rspec
is a plugin gem to rubocop, that specifies
improvements in the written RSpec tests and helps in cleansing them.Progress related to this, can be tracked in this Pull Request. This Pull Request is intended to be worked on during the next week, after the Redis & Mongo Importers have been merged.


Master Method
Assumption : all subproblems have equal size.
- Base Case $T(n)$ <= a constant for all sufficiently small n
-
For all larger n : where
a = number of recursive calls $\geq 1$
b = input size shrinkage
d = exponent in running time
\begin{equation} T(n)= \begin{cases} O(n^d log n) &\mbox{if $a=b^d$}\ \newline O(n^d) &\mbox{if $a < b^d$} \newline O(n^{log_{b}a}) &\mbox{if $a > b^d$} \end{cases} \end{equation}
Example 1: Merge Sort
a = 2 b= 2 d= 1 -> $b^d = a$ -> case 1
Example 2: Binary Search
a = 1 b= 2 d= 0 -> $b^d = a$ -> case 1
Example 3: Integer Multiplication
a = 4 b= 2 d= 1 -> $b^d < a$ -> case 3
Example 3: Gauss Multiplication
a = 3 b= 2 d= 1 -> $b^d < a$ -> case 3
Example 4: Strassen’s Matrix Multiplication
a = 7 b= 2 d= 2 -> $b^d < a$ -> case 3
Proof
At each level $j=0,1,2,…log_b{n}$ there are $a^j$ subproblems, each of size of $n/b^j$
Upper bound for each level j : $cn^d \times (\frac{a}{b^d})^j $
a = rate of subproblem proliferation (RSP)
$b^d$ = rate of work shrinkage (RWS)
- RSP = RWS $\rightarrow$ Same amout of work each level(like merge sort) expect $0(n^d log n)$
- RSP < RWS $\rightarrow$ less amout of work each level(most work at root) migt expect $0(n^d log n)$
- RSP > RWS $\rightarrow$ more amout of work each level(most work at leaves) migt expect $0(\mbox{# of leaves})$

Who am I?
I was born in China. My laboratory life started from college when I learned molecular and cellular experiments. As a Master graduate, I learned next-generation sequencing methods and started genomics research that espencially focused on the field of epigenetics. The bio-data explosion prompted me to learn bioinformatics and expand my research into psychiatric genetics during my PhD stages. The scientific experience pointed my direction to use genomics to decipher the mechanisms of biology and disease.
I am currently a postdoc researcher at UCSanDiego. My study focuses on neuroscience now. Through postdoctoral training, I expect to improve my bioinformatics skills at systems biology, enhance my ability to conduct scientific research independently, and clarify futher research issues and directions. My goal is to become an excellent scientific researcher in the future.

Knowing the usage of the fonts is very important skill that every designer should have for creating beautiful web pages. There are nine font families that are most common and supported by the both major operating systems (see picture below). Those families are called the safe list. The font-family of CSS allows you to choose differents fonts in the order of its preference (this is referred to as a font stack). Any user can use the fonts for the future designs.
If you want to the visitors to see some text in a specific typeface you should to replace the text with an image. You can mark up your text as text and then use CSS to create a link the size of your image. Also, you can try to use the Phark Method of image replacement which involves setting the image that you want to use as the background of the element. After this step, you should add a negative text-indent value high enough to move the text content out of the block.
There are four ways how the text on your web page can be located:
Left aligned - the text is located on the left side of the page, the “ragged edge” is on the right.
Right Aligned - the text is located on the right side of the page, the “ragged edge” is on the left.
Centered - text is located at the center of the page. Centered text is usually used for document titles and may be appropriate for headers and footers.
Justified - the text combines left and right aligned text. By using justified text there could be big gaps between the words, so, the justification usually works well for the newspapers and the magazines.
The Last Supper
The Aesthetics of Leonardo Da Vinci's Great Masterwork
When the Duke of Milan, Lodovico Sforza, commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to paint a depiction of the Last Supper on a refectory wall of the Dominican convent, Santa Maria delle Grazie, he could not have dreamed of the ways in which the painting would capture the imagination of not just academic scholars but the mass public over five hundred years after its creation.

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
I have vivid memories reading this book in my elementary school library, and has become a tradition for our family to read each winter (in addition to our matching pajamas). A beautiful reminder to always believe in the spirit of the holidays, and the innocence of being a child. Also, a special story for me, as Ryan proposed on The Polar Express in the Grand Canyon. The audio edition read by Liam Neeson is pretty great too! While the story is short for a plane ride, it’s something to make a tradition, especially since you’ll have snow in Utah! Post lots of photos, and turn up the 80’s music in your office!

Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
In a time of big change for you, my recommendation is a sci-fi story about big changes and uncertainty on Earth. I went into it not knowing anything and really enjoyed it, so I don’t want to give anything away!

The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories About Facing the Unknown
Whatever mine fields you have to walk through in life, the real-life stories in this book show you that someone somewhere has been in that very same scary place before you and made it out alive. My guess is that someone’s story here might help you break free from whatever kind of web you find yourself entangled in. Yes, some tales are sad but there are mostly happy and sometimes humorous endings.

The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel by Jasper Fforde
I love the entire series of Thursday Next books, of which this is the first in the series. They are fun reads, also recommend The Big Over Easy by Fforde. The Eyre Affair takes you to a world where you travel into the books and if you enter the original book itself, you will be able to alter every copy of the book. Thursday Next is tasked at trying to preserve Jane Eyre. It’s fun and has a very dry sense of humor to it filled literary nods and puns.

The Way of Kingsby Brandon Sanderson
One of my favorite fantasy books, but I am partial to Sanderson. Think of it as a classic little guy makes good, or, more specifically, Kaladin, who traded his medical apprenticeship for a spear to protect his little brother, has been reduced to slavery. In a war that makes no sense, where ten armies fight separately against a single foe, he struggles to save his men and to fathom the leaders who consider them expendable. And then it gets interesting.

11.22.63 by Stephen King
A sci-fi with believability in time travel. There is a mini series on Hulu as well that is only slightly different both are very well done. Plus if you purchase through this link amazon donates to the Chicks With Picks Foundation which helps those in need through music. Bonus.

...so many good suggestions alredy put forth. I'd second the recommendation by Rhonda, as I'm a very big Stephen King fan. Also would add that the Gunslinger series by King is my favorite series of the moment. Designation subject to frequent change, however.
I'd also add On the Road by Jack Kerowac and Walden by Henry David Thoreau to my list of "things that Rose should read." If you'd never read them, they are polar opposites: one is a tale of what life is like when the siren of the open road pours into your ears. The other is a reflection of a man seeking quieter moments when you can "breathe deep... and put to rout all that was not life." I suspect that your move to UT places you firmly between these camps, but within the pages of each, I think you'll find familiar ground.
Of a more practical nature is also this: Atomic Design by Brad Frost. Perhaps you are already walking into a job in which the design principals and "vocabulary" of your website is an already known quantity. But, if not... this book provides a framework for organizing the components of a collection of websites into an organized interface. I think of this work each time I look at the wonderful pages on our sites that I know you had a hand in creating.
My "offical" last suggestion is below. As was indicated earlier, it was fanstasic working with you and I hope to see you further down the road!
The Ender's Game Series by Orson Scott Card
Ender's Game is the first in the series and is a good, quick read to get you started. Science fiction, traditional premise: Earth is being invaded by aliens, and humans make an ingenious plot to save themselves from distruction. Traditional start to a sci-fi series, but the characters go way deeper than normal space opera books to become compelling reflections of the best (and worst) that human-kind has to offer. I usually tell people to read Ender's Game in order to get to the best two books in the quartet: Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide.
If you're hooked at that point, you'll be happy to know that there is an entire other series (referred to as the Shadow series) which runs in parallel time (sorta) to the first series. All the books within are amazing.
Books choosen because they're awesome, and the author has roots in your new home town: BYU Graduate, and was given an award recently as well.

The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy, performed by Alan Rickman
Yes, this is an audiobook, not a paper book. But this is how I consume most of my books these days, and _The Return of the Native_ was my first experience with Thomas Hardy, and my only experience with Alan Rickman, whom I love, as a narrator. As we will have no more Alan Rickman-narrated stories, and as I don’t know what genre is your favorite, I went for a classic I think you will love.
One of the best parts of the book is the land. It is a bold and influential character in the lives of all the characters, and I can’t help but think that is good preparation for embarking on a life where you, too, will need to create a character of the land, a character everyone will want to meet and get to know better. Your heart is already there.
May your words and images flow freely and bring Utah (and the Intermountain West! :wink:) into everyone else’s hearts too.

This document describes how to use Open vSwitch with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM).
Note
This document assumes that you have read and followed the installation guide to get Open vSwitch setup on your Linux system.
KVM uses tunctl to handle various bridging modes, which you can install with the Debian/Ubuntu package uml-utilities:
$ apt-get install uml-utilities
Next, you will need to modify or create custom versions of the qemu-ifup and qemu-ifdown scripts. In this guide, we'll create custom versions that make use of example Open vSwitch bridges that we'll describe in this guide.
Create the following two files and store them in known locations. For example:
echo << EOF > /etc/ovs-ifup #!/bin/sh switch='br0' /sbin/ifconfig $1 <IP_ADDRESS> up ovs-vsctl add-port ${switch} $1 EOF
echo << EOF > /etc/ovs-ifdown #!/bin/sh switch='br0' /sbin/ifconfig $1 <IP_ADDRESS> down ovs-vsctl del-port ${switch} $1
The basic usage of Open vSwitch is described at the end of the installation guide. If you haven't already, create a bridge named br0 with the following command:
$ ovs-vsctl add-br br0
Then, add a port to the bridge for the NIC that you want your guests to communicate over (e.g. eth0):
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0
Refer to ovs-vsctl(8) for more details.
Next, we'll start a guest that will use our ifup and ifdown scripts:
$ kvm -m 512 -net nic,macaddr=00:11:22:EE:EE:EE -net \ tap,script=/etc/ovs-ifup,downscript=/etc/ovs-ifdown -drive \ file=/path/to/disk-image,boot=on
This will start the guest and associate a tap device with it. The ovs-ifup script will add a port on the br0 bridge so that the guest will be able to communicate over that bridge.
To get some more information and for debugging you can use Open vSwitch utilities such as ovs-dpctl and ovs-ofctl, For example:
$ ovs-dpctl show $ ovs-ofctl show br0
You should see tap devices for each KVM guest added as ports to the bridge (e.g. tap0)
Refer to ovs-dpctl(8) and ovs-ofctl(8) for more details.
Please report problems to bugs@openvswitch.org.

A new, empirically supported way to get in shape through playing fantasy sports.
The new way to play fantasy sports.
Active Fantasy Sports helps motivate you to work out by tethering your Fitbit activity to privileges and punishments in your season-long fantasy sports league.
For the purposes of Active Fantasy Sports, physical activity refers to number of steps taken in a given day, as measrued by a Fitbit fitness tracker (any of Fitbit's numerous fitness tracking solutions will work). When you sync your Fitbit with your computer or mobile device, Active Fantasy Sports will automatically synchronize with your Fitbit account.
Preliminary research done by Arlen Moller, PhD suggests that Active Fantasy Sports does indeed promote exercise! Dr. Moller is actively researching the benefits of Active Fantasy Sports. If you'd like stay up-to-date with the research findings about Active Fantasy Sports, you can join our electronic waiting list.
Right now, we're still building our platform. We're almost ready to go live, but there are still a few finishing touches we have to make. In the mean time, you can subscribe to our electronic waiting list to get updates, and/or you can put your name on our wait-list. Think of the wait-list as a pre-registration for when our platform goes live.
“I've played in a fantasy league with the same group of friends for over 10 years. I enjoy the comradery, and ideally would enjoy playing in a softball league or something more active together too. Unfortunately my friends are all over the country. Active fantasy sports was a great way to stay in touch and push each other to stay in shape. Great concept. New tradition.”
“Let's face it, fitness trackers alone are boring. Who gives a damn? Active fantasy sports adds some significance to watching my daily step total . . . adds a fresh dimension to weekly chatter on the message board too.”
“I'm a big fan of fantasy sports, season long and daily formats. And active is better than both.”
“10 out of 10 would play again!”
Add your name to our wait-list and be one of the first people to play once Active Fantasy Sports goes live. Just click the signup button below, tell us a little about yourself, and which sports you're interested in, and we'll get in touch with you in the very-near future!

ABOUT LINDA
Linda Fields has lived her life with a defining purpose: to serve others and to fight for what is right. She has fought for the disenfranchised and underserved her entire life. She strives to speak up for the voiceless.
She worked for 28 years as a National Organizer & Business Agent for the National Union of Hospital and Healthcare Employees, District 1199C, AFSCME, AFL-CIO until 2018. She has personally negotiated hundreds of employee contracts and served as mediator for many grievances over the years. She has successfully obtained higher and fairer wages, employee benefits and workers’ rights for hospital workers for some of the largest hospital chains in Pennsylvania.
From a young age, she volunteered for several charitable organizations in her community and in her church helping the at-risk youth, the elderly, grieving families, and the impoverished. She is also a heart health advocate after losing so many in her family to heart disease. She formed her own non-profit called Circle of Life (formerly Heart to Heart Weekend of Life) to raise money and awareness for heart disease research.
Her experience as a negotiator, mediator, labor relations expert, and community advocate bring over 35 years of advocacy, love, compassion, and compromise. She has a unique ability to connect with people and build collaborative partnerships with common goals.
As a longtime political activist and field organizer, she has worked on both labor and Democratic campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels across Pennsylvania. In 2016, she served as an elected delegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention. In 2018, she was elected as the Democratic Candidate for State Senate to challenge a two-term incumbent in the 24th District, a Republican stronghold across Montgomery, Berks and Bucks Counties. She lost the close election overall by 4.8% of the vote but won in Montgomery County and received nearly 50,000 votes, which was unprecedented for a Democrat for that seat in the history of the 24th district. Her impressive run for office brought national attention gaining historical numbers in voter turnout in a highly gerrymandered district.
For the past 20 years, she has called Montgomery County home splitting time between their two homes in King of Prussia and Pottstown. In the fall of 2015, she moved to Pottstown where she remained until January 2019, when she moved back to her home in King of Prussia. She has been married for 43 years to her husband Charles and remains an anchor for her children and grandchildren.
She served on the Advisory Board for Norristown City Council President Ed Turner for two terms. She has also served as a Trustee on the Pension Fund for Nursing Home and Healthcare Employees for two decades and as a Board member for the CBTU (Coalition of Black Trade Unionists).
She currently works as a Special Assistant for Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 135 in Norristown, PA.
She is currently running in the 2020 Democratic Primary for the Pennsylvania State Senate in the 17th District in Montgomery and Delaware Counties.

[dscrdeql] <Catalyst> @Jellysmash i hope our EQLI team also look into what Pakistan new govt is planning about building 5 million homes in 5 years..
[dscrdeql] <AndronicusBass-Founder> We've seen evidence of a lot of inequality in the world which is why we came together to start equaliser. We are constantly looking There are many in developing countries without access to bank accounts that the elite are pushing however, I think cryptocurrency is the best particularly those that cant afford mobile phones that are struggling even to provide the basic human necessities. Paper wallets will be greatly suited in that respect
[dscrdeql] <Catalyst> This new govt is really working for a social welfare society am not pushing politics in here by any chance but i am just saying they have a plan and we should try
