2.6 Exercises
1. Class Sizes and Test Scores
A researcher wants to analyze the relationship between class size (measured by the student-teacher ratio) and the average test score. Therefore he measures both variables in \(10\) different classes and ends up with the following results.
| Class Size | 23 | 19 | 30 | 22 | 23 | 29 | 35 | 36 | 33 | 25 |
| Test Score | 430 | 430 | 333 | 410 | 390 | 377 | 325 | 310 | 328 | 375 |
Instructions:
Create the vectors cs (the class size) and ts (the test score), containing the observations above.
Draw a scatterplot of the results using plot().
2. Mean, Variance, Covariance and Correlation
The vectors cs and ts are available in the working environment (you can check this: type their names into the console and press enter).
Instructions:
Compute the mean, the sample variance and the sample standard deviation of ts.
Compute the covariance and the correlation coefficient for ts and cs.
Hint: Use the R functions presented in this chapter: mean(), sd(), cov(), cor() and var().
3. Simple Linear Regression
The vectors cs and ts are available in the working environment.
Instructions:
The function lm() is part of the package AER. Attach the package using library().
Use lm() to estimate the regression model \[TestScore_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 STR_i + u_i.\] Assign the result to mod.
Obtain a statistical summary of the model.
4. The Model Object
Let us see how an object of class lm is structured.
The vectors cs and ts as well as the model object mod from the previous exercise are available in your workspace.
Instructions:
- Use class() to learn about the class of the object mod.
- mod is an object of type list with named entries. Check this using the function is.list().
- See what information you can obtain from mod using names().
- Read out an arbitrary entry of the object mod using the $ operator.
5. Plotting the Regression Line
You are provided with the code for the scatterplot in script.R
Instructions:
Add the regression line to the scatterplot from a few exercises before.
The object mod is available in your working environment.
Hint: Use the function abline().
6. Summary of a Model Object
Now read out and store some of the information that is contained in the output of summary().
Instructions:
Assign the output of summary(mod) to the variable s.
Check entry names of the object s.
Create a new variable R2 and assign the \(R^2\) of the regression.
The object mod is available in your working environment.
7. Estimated Coefficients
The function summary() also provides information on the statistical significance of the estimated coefficients.
Instructions:
Extract the named \(2\times4\) matrix with estimated coefficients, standard errors, \(t\)-statistics and corresponding \(p\)-values from the model summary s. Save this matrix in an object named coefs.
The objects mod and s are available in your working environment.
8. Dropping the Intercept
So far, we have estimated regression models consisting of an intercept and a single regressor. In this exercise you will learn how to specify and how to estimate regression a model without intercept.
Note that excluding the intercept from a regression model might be a dodgy practice in some applications as this imposes the conditional expectation function of the dependent variable to be zero if the regressor is zero.
Instructions:
Figure out how the formula argument must be specified for a regression of ts solely on cs, i.e., a regression without intercept. Google is your friend!
Estimate the regression model without intercept and store the result in mod_ni.
The vectors cs, ts and the model object mod from previous exercises are available in the working environment.
9. Regression Output: No Constant Case
In Exercise 8 you have estimated a model without intercept. The estimated regression function is
\[\widehat{TestScore} = \underset{(1.36)}{12.65} \times STR.\]
Instructions:
Convince yourself that everything is as stated above: extract the coefficient matrix from the summary of mod_ni and store it in a variable named coef.
The vectors cs, ts as well as the model object mod_ni from the previous exercise are available in your working environment.
Hint: An entry of a named list can be accessed using the $ operator.
10. Regression Output: No Constant Case — Ctd.
In Exercises 8 and 9 you have dealt with a model without intercept. The estimated regression function was
\[\widehat{TestScore_i} = \underset{(1.36)}{12.65} \times STR_i.\]
The coefficient matrix coef from Exercise 9 contains the estimated coefficient on \(STR\), its standard error, the \(t\)-statistic of the significance test and the corresponding \(p\)-value.
Instructions:
- Print the contents of coef to the console.
- Convince yourself that the reported \(t\)-statistic is correct: use the entries of coef to compute the \(t\)-statistic and save it to t_stat.
The matrix coef from the previous exercise is available in your working environment.
Hints:
X[a,b] returns the [a,b] element of the matrix X.
The \(t\)-statistic for a test of the hypothesis \(H_0: \beta_1 = 0\) is computed as \[t = \frac{\hat{\beta}_1}{SE(\hat{\beta}_1)}.\]
11. Two Regressions, One Plot
The two estimated regression models from the previous exercises are
\[\widehat{TestScore_i} = \underset{(1.36)}{12.65} \times STR_i\]
and
\[\widehat{TestScore_i} = \underset{(23.96)}{567.4272} \underset{(0.85)}{-7.1501} \times STR_i.\]
You are provided with the code line plot(cs, ts) which creates a scatterplot of ts and cs. Note that this line must be executed before calling abline()! You may color the regression lines by using, e.g., col = “red” or col = “blue” as an additional argument to abline() for better distinguishability.
The vectors cs and ts as well as the list objects mod and mod_ni from previous exercises are availabe in your working environment.
Instructions:
Generate a scatterplot of ts and cs and add the estimated regression lines of mod and mod_ni.
12. \(TSS\) and \(SSR\)
If graphical inspection does not help, researchers resort to analytic techniques in order to detect if a model fits the data at hand good or better than another model.
Let us go back to the simple regression model including an intercept. The estimated regression line for mod was
\[\widehat{TestScore_i} = 567.43 - 7.15 \times STR_i, \, R^2 = 0.8976, \, SER=15.19.\]
You can check this as mod and the vectors cs and ts are available in your working environment.
Instructions:
- Compute \(SSR\), the sum of squared residuals, and save it to ssr.
- Compute \(TSS\), the total sum of squares, and save it to tss.
13. The \(R^2\) of a Regression Model
The \(R^2\) of the regression saved in mod is \(0.8976\). You can check this by executing summary(mod)$r.squared in the console below.
Remember the formula of \(R^2\):
\[R^2 = \frac{ESS}{TSS} = 1 - \frac{SSR}{TSS}\]
The objects mod, tss and ssr from the previous exercise are available in your working environment.
Instructions:
- Use ssr and tss to compute \(R^2\) manually. Round the result to four decimal places and save it to R2.
- Use the logical operator == to check whether your result matches the value mentioned above.
Hints:
You may round numeric values using the function round().
14. The Standard Error of The Regression
The standard error of the Regression in the simple regression model is \[SER = \frac{1}{n-2} \sum_{i=1}^n \widehat{u}_i^2 =\sqrt{\frac{SSR}{n-2}}.\] \(SER\) measures the size of an average residual which is an estimate of the magnitude of a typical regression error.
The model object mod and the vectors cs and ts are available in your workspace.
Instructions:
Use summary() to obtain the \(SER\) for the regression of ts on cs saved in the model object mod. Save the result in the variable SER.
Use SER to compute the \(SSR\) and store it in SSR.
Check that SSR is indeed the \(SSR\) by comparing SSR to the result of sum(mod$residuals^2)
15. The Estimated Covariance Matrix
As has been discussed in Chapter 2.4, the OLS estimators \(\widehat{\beta}_0\) and \(\widehat{\beta}_1\) are functions of the random error term. Therefore, they are random variables themselves. For two or more random variables, their covariances and variances are summarized by a variance-covariance matrix (which is often simply called the covariance matrix). Taking the square root of the diagonal elements of the estimated covariance matrix obtains \(SE(\widehat\beta_0)\) and \(SE(\widehat\beta_1)\), the standard errors of \(\widehat{\beta}_0\) and \(\widehat{\beta}_1\).
summary() computes an estimate of this matrix. The respective entry in the output of summary (remember that summary() produces a list) is called cov.unscaled. The model object mod is available in your workspace.
Instructions:
Use summary() to obtain the covariance matrix estimate for the regression of test scores on student-teacher ratios stored in the model object mod. Save the result to cov_matrix.
Obtain the diagonal elements of cov_matrix, compute their square root and assign the result to the variable SEs.
Hint: diag(A) returns a vector containing the diagonal elements of the matrix A.

Let’s say we have this action:
This code is a scalability problem, because each request efectively blocks other requests from being handled. If your service receives more than one request per 5 seconds, your service will start failing to respond. But it doesn’t need to be like that. There is a way to tell Rails that it is okay to handle some other request while some other work is being done and then go back to that original request when all it’s ready.
It’s called concurrent mode.
In this example we will use Thin plus rails’s concurrent mode to handle request concurrently.
The first step is to add the Thin server to the Gemfile. A simple gem 'thin'
in the Gemfile will do.
The second step is to activate the concurrent mode in the rails environment. For example, in development:
Then set up the action that you want to handle asyncronously in this way:
Start the server like this: bundle exec thin --threaded -p 5500 --threadpool-size 50 start
That means that Thin will be started in threaded mode, and it will use up to 50 threads. The threaded
option is important as Thin defaults to non threaded mode.
When the request is being handled, the EM.defer
block will be executed in a separate thread. At the same time the throw :async
will be executed, which basically tells the Thin server that this request will be handled asyncronously and that it should inmediately start working on a different request. request.env['async.callback'].call response
will communicate the response to the Thin server and send it back to the client.
Let me remark that, until request.env['async.callback'].call response
is executed, no response is sent back to the client.
There is one important gotcha with throw :async
: No rack middleware will be executed for the response. Thereby if you try to set up a cookie it will fail. But here is a way to fix that:
cookies.write(headers)
will take care of setting the headers that needs to be set in order to make the changes in the cookies. It’s basically the code that gets executed when the Cookie middleware is executed.
And that’s it, so simple.
One way to test that you action can really handle concurrent requests to to query the url with multiple requests at the same time. You can do it with Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool, packaged with Mac OS.
So you can see that it took 5 seconds total to handle the 10 requests (each one taking 5 seconds) thereby proving that we can handle concurrents requests. This is a very useful model for handling web requests where one portion of the request may take a few seconds. For example at Haiku we use this technique when handling Google sign in. The portion of the code where we need to wait is simply executed within a Event Machine defered block.
Note: If you use Pow for your app, use the ip address as in the example, because Pow will only handle one request at a time.

Here’s how you can watch Inside Xbox at X019
by AshX019 is a celebration of all things Xbox, held in London, UK. While the event runs from the 14th until the 16th of November, viewers all round the globe can tune into a special episode of Inside Xbox on Thursday to get the latest and hottest Xbox news from X019.
We’ve gathered a short guide below on when and where to watch it, along with what to expect. Happy gaming!
When is it on?
The special episode of Inside Xbox kicks off at 8pm GMT on Thursday, 14th of November.
For those not in the GMT timezone: That’s 12pm PST, 3pm EST, and 9pm CET on Thursday, and 1:30am IST, 4am CST, 5am JST, 7am AEDT, and 9am NZDT on Friday.
How can I watch it?
The Inside Xbox episode will be hosted live on the following platforms:
- Mixer
- YouTube
- Twitch
- Xbox Events App (available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and on the Microsoft Store)
There’s also an American Sign Language version available on Mixer here.
If you can’t tune in, don’t worry! We’ll be posting all the important news on MSPoweruser, so you won’t miss out on all the best bits. You can also watch the episode at a later date.
What can I expect to see?
Xbox has already said that we’ll get an exclusive look into what’s in store for Project xCloud, Sea of Thieves, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Xbox Game Pass, Age of Empires II DE, Bleeding Edge, Halo Reach, CrossfireX, and Wasteland 3.
A leak earlier today has already dropped the release date for the upcoming Bleeding Edge. We won’t post it here, just in case you want to wait and see what’s going on, but you can click the embedded link to find out all the juicy information for yourself.
The release date for Halo Reach on PC was also leaked earlier today. Once again, we won’t mention what the release date is, but you’ll be finding out soon enough anyway!
Anything else I should know?
Yes! Xbox is dropping an exclusive X019-themed Xbox One controller at 10pm GMT today.
The design follows an Aquabrush print: a custom camouflage that was made exclusively for X019. Aquabrush is inspired by the traditional 1950’s lizard-brushstroke camouflage and the River Thames in London. The design brings together the origins of artistry in camouflage design and the celebration of the rich culture of the U.K., subtly integrating iconic landmarks in London and a section of the River Thames with the hallmark maharishi dragon.
The controller is limited to 1,000 units so if you want one of your own, you’ll have to act fast. You can find out more information (including whether you can purchase one or not) by following the link here.

--- layout: post status: publish published: true title: 100th Podcast Episode - Live Show on Saturday Aug. 13th author: display_name: Corey Fineran login: Corey email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>url: '' author_login: Corey author_email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>wordpress_id: 5957 wordpress_url: http://ivyenvy.com/?p=5957 date: '2011-08-02 21:12:56 +0000' date_gmt: '2011-08-03 02:12:56 +0000' categories: - Ivy Envy - Events - Live Broadcast tags: - Ivy Envy - Live Broadcast - 100th Episode comments: [] ---
We are in our third season of podcasting about the Cubs and next weekend, the 100th episode of the Ivy Envy Podcast will be recorded. It seems like just yesterday we were doing our first episode, recording with a ragtag mix of awful microphones, two broken mixers, cables everywhere and no real idea what we were doing. We still won't know what we're doing on our 100th episode, but we'll be light-years ahead as far as technology goes.
Next Saturday night, August 13th, at 7pm CST, we will do a live show for the 100th episode. We experimented with a live show a few months ago and took some of your phone calls. We've done some research and messed around with things to improve the live show and we thought this would be a fun way to celebrate the milestone. The main reason for doing it live is for all of you to be involved. We want your phone calls and we want to talk Cubs (or whatever else) with all of you.
This live show will be a step up from our last one. We will be broadcasting video. We will have a webcam mounted so you'll be able to hear the speech slur and see the bottles and cans pile up around us on the patio. Plan to be on the road or out-and-about that night? That's ok, if you have an iPhone,iPad or Android phone, you will be able to listen to the show on your mobile device.
If you plan to view or listen from our website, you'll se a "Live Broadcast" tab at the top of the page. Click on that and you'll have a few options. You'll see a video player, click "play", grab a beverage during the 30 second commercial and then you'll be able to see and hear the broadcast.
 Then, under both of those will be a chat. It's quick and easy to register and you'll be chatting in seconds. One of us will be monitoring the chat to talk about what's being said. However, we'd really like for you all to call in.
This will be different than our regular shows. We've put in a lot of time and work to get to the 100th episode and the Cubs are giving us nothing else to celebrate, so we plan to have a good time.
There will be more information coming. We will have something(s) to give away...maybe a contest or two. We'll see how it all falls in place.
It should be a fun evening, so crack open a Hamm's/Old Style/Kurt's fancy beer and have a good time with us.

Milo: Will you look at the size of this? It's gotta be half a mile high, at least. It must have taken hundred — no, thousands of years to carve this thing.
[Vinny blows it up so it falls down over a chasm]
Vinny: Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me, like, what? Ten seconds? Eleven, tops.
[Vinny blows it up so it falls down over a chasm]
Vinny: Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me, like, what? Ten seconds? Eleven, tops.
A tall object, such as a pillar or a tree, is knocked over to make a bridge over a river or chasm.
Nobody ever wonders how remarkable it is that the object just happened to be longer than the chasm's width or placed right next to it, nor do our ersatz bridge builders make any special effort to make sure the object actually bridges the gap instead of just falling into it.
Not to be confused with Fridge Logic, though there may be overlap. See also Improvised Platform.

- In one Footrot Flats strip, the Dog attempts to avoid one of the Murphy's crocopigs by pushing over a tree to allow him to cross the river. However, the dead sapling he pushes over is both far too short to reach the over bank and far too spindly to support his weight.
Films — Animation
- Atlantis: The Lost Empire, as quoted above.
- In Shrek, Shrek doesn't cut the tree down, but he bends it over a stream so Fiona can cross. Then, while Donkey is trying to cross, Shrek lets go of the tree, with predictable results.
Films — Live-Action
- In Surviving the Game, Mason bridges a ravine with a tree by cutting it with a shotgun.
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow features an enormous tree serving as a bridge over a ravine on Totenkopf's island.
- In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Legolas does this with a small tower by steering a blinded troll into it.
- Thor: Ragnarok. Hela is trying to enter an Asgardian stronghold protected by a) a deep chasm, and b) enormously tall stone doors (it's from the Unnecessarily Large Interior school of architecture). She blows the doors open in such a way that they fall outward, bridging the chasm.

Video Games
- In Bloodborne, one of the tombstones in Nightmare Frontier can be kicked down and have it serve as a bridge.
- In Dark Souls II, the player may occasionally come across woods you can kick down and have them serve as bridge.
- Taken Up to Eleven in LittleBigPlanet, any tall object, be it a ruler, a pencil, a sword, or even dead fish, if not heavy or thick or glued, can be kicked down and serve as makeshift bridges for our Sackboy.
- In The Last of Us, the player will often encounter gaps between building to building. Conveniently, there's always a ladder or board the exact size of the gap nearby to form a makeshift bridge with.
- Both the first (two trees to make two separate ones) and the last level (a pillar) of Jedi Academy have objects destroyed to make bridges, the first two by cutting them with a lightsaber, the second by using force push. Interestingly, the pillar doesn't just fall down; your push is so powerful the BASE of the pillar is the end of the bridge (and the tip rests at the original base).
- In the GBA Fire Emblem games, old trees can be destroyed to make bridges over water.
- One of the ghosts needs to create an earthquake down a tree in Ghost Master.
- In Star Wars: Republic Commando, the commandos bomb a pillar to reach the unconnected opposite side of a gap.
- In Quest for Glory IV the player knocks down a statue of an Eldritch Abomination to cross a swamp.
- In the third game, the Fighter and the Paladin have to defeat a gargoyle (who then turns back to stone), then use that to cross the chasm.
- In the Spiritual Successor / Fan Sequel, Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok, the Warrior must do this to enter the swamp.
- King's Quest (2015) has this twice in chapter one.
- The Legend of Zelda
- Featured in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Shadow Temple to reach the room before the temple boss.
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess does this as well. You have to use Trick Arrows both times to reach the base on the other side.
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword lets you use good old-fashioned bombs to knock over sentry towers and cross chasms.
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lets you use axes to cut trees and create makeshift bridges, but more realistically as it doesn't always work; not only does the tree itself need to be long enough to reach the other side, but it won't work if you cut it blindly, as you need to think about where it's going to land.
- In Blue Dragon, the player has to to push over a tree to make a bridge to reach a chest in the Lot Wilderness, and the Elder of Pachess Town uses the Green Device to destroy the base of a rock pillar to make a bridge over a fissure in the Giant Ice Fields.
- The Howling Halls in Fable II have pillars that are conveniently the right height to bridge the spike filled pit blocking the players escape.
- Tales Series
- Many Sorcerer's Ring-related gimmicks in Tales of Hearts revolve around knocking down a pillar or tree over a chasm.
- Tales of the Abyss does similar things with Mieu Fire.
- It pops up a couple times in Tales of Vesperia as well.
- In Tales of Phantasia, you use the sorceror's ring in a similar manner. Except you down pillars and walk across their widths, not lengths.
 The debris falls into the river, floats down and fetches up against rocks in the stream forming a bridge.
- Guild Wars: In the Nightfall campaign, there is an area in the Desolation where you have to shoot a boulder with your Junundu Wurm at a monolith to knock it down, making a bridge so you can progress. In Prophecies, there's an ancient statue that will topple when you get close, forming a bridge for you.
- Hermes, a sort-of-antagonist in The Suffering, launches a bus down a ravine that blocks your progress.
- Overlord does this a couple of times.
- To be more precise, you kick down sections of wall from ruined houses. They always have exactly the needed length and never break anywhere except at foot level...
- Even more surprising, they're exactly the right size to fit flush into the gap, so you walk across them like level ground.
- During Metroid Prime Hunters's story mode, the scan visor actually suggests blasting a piece of ruined architecture, calculating it will make a bridge.
- Happens with a tree trunk that Susano is rafting down the river with in Ōkami. Amusingly, this is the only such instance — with her reality-altering paintbrush, Amaterasu can 'fill' any other Broken Bridge in.
- Played straight, however, in the sequel Ōkamiden, where cutting down stalagmites to make bridges is a gameplay mechanic in two areas.
- The second The Legend of Kyrandia game has a similar situation: if Zanthia tries walking across the Quicksand Bog, she'll get sucked in and die. However, there's a tree nearby that's just the right height ...
- Justified in Superhero League of Hoboken, where you have to use a size-amplifying superpower to make a tree grow to the right size before knocking it down and making a dam. (Later you have to return the tree to its original size to undo the dam.)
- One of the standard Doodads (objects that are neither terrain nor player units, like... trees and bridges) in Warcraft III was one of these — a tree that became a bridge if you attacked it. It also splits down the middle when doing so, for some reason.
- Happened once or twice in Rayman Revolution.
- In Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy Jak can punch at some dinosaur ribs that are half buried on Misty Island to knock them over and make bridges over the rocks.
- Similarly, in Jak 3: Wastelander, during the volcano climb, Daxter knocks down a tree by accident to create a bridge for Jak.
- Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge, pictured above. Slightly subverted, the part of the tree that breaks off would not be long enough to cover the chasm, on a modern display's aspect ratio.
- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is an odd example: the tree is long enough, but, to make it a bridge, Indy has to stand on top of the tree. It bends under his weight, working like a Tree Buchet (minus the launching him somewhere else), without the tree breaking.
- And then you discover that there was a shortcut.
- First level of Ristar - you have to headbutt a tree so it falls over.
- In Drakan: Order of the Flame, after getting Arokh's Soul Crystal from Heron's crypt and returning outside, there's an old rotting tree that protagonist Rynn can push to make a makeshift bridge across a gap (and as a bonus, kill an unfortunate orc who's patrolling the other side).
- In Dark Chronicle, Max and Monica traverse the sections of Rainbow Butterfly Forest by gathering Fairy Saws (the signature keys for that dungeon) to fell large trees (the "gates") so that they form bridges across the streams and rivers.
- Subverted in Gears of War 2. You DO use a tall, hollow thing to make a bridge, but it gives out half-way.
- In darkSector to escape a sinking cruise ship the protagonist at one point has to blow up some crates that float and form a bride over the water.
- In Resident Evil 5, Chris Redfield manages to do this using a boulder. By punching it several times.
- Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire has an unusual example of this. While shooting your way through an Imperial base, you come to a chasm with a destroyed bridge and are forced to improvise a way across... by shooting the supports of another bridge above you. This bridge falls perfectly into place, killing a couple stormtroopers in the process.
- In Epic Mickey, one of the ways you can get into Gremlin Village's Colosseum is by knocking over the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower to make a bridge.
- Golden Sun (2001) plays with this. There's no instances of actually making a bridge, but there is one tree you knock over to make a platform.
- Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood. While not necessarily bridges, architecture always fall off to make steps when in areas like the Romulus lairs to act as a checkpoint and Ezio ALWAYS reminds you how convenient it is to climb back up whenever he falls.
- Throughout the series, the jumping action itself serves as Bridge Logic, because buildings and other objects are arranged precisely to match the assassin's maximum jumping distance. Although there are plenty of locations where a jump seems almost doable but really isn't, gameplay absolutely depends on you being able to easily find those routes where it's possible to continuously jump across from one place to the next during those long chases - often without slowing down at all.
- Double Subverted in The Legend of Dragoon, where the characters actively notice that a tree is an appropriate height, and embark on a miniquest to chop it down and get it to the river. Their attempt at this simply ends up dropping the tree into the river, forcing them to find another way... but when they go back to where they needed the bridge, that same log washes down the river and perfectly floats into place.
- World of Warcraft has a variation in the Ulduar raid. One of the bosses, Kologarn, is a stone giant standing in the middle of a chasm that comes up to his waist. Killing him has his torso break off and form a convenient bridge to the other side.
- In Wrath of the Gods you have to knock down a tree to cross a chasm.
- The Legend Entertainment adaption of Frederik Pohl's Gateway has a puzzle that can be solved in this manner, if you don't want the good ending (you're trying to impress an environmentalist, so he'll return with you. Chopping down a tree is the opposite of that, even if it is exactly the right length for crossing the chasm you're trying to cross.)
- In Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Amazing Spidey has to get Kraven the Hunter to do this as he's trying to snipe him in one part of his stage.
- The gameplay in Tiny and Big relies fairly heavily upon these, as Tiny's entire arsenal is designed specifically for manipulation of the game's environment.
- One of the first playable quests in the web-based RPG DragonFable lampshades and double-subverts this. Your character sees a chasm in a cave and a conveniently-placed stalagmite and thinks to knock it over:
Your character: This is my best idea ever!
[Stalagmite leans toward you]
Your character: This is my worst idea ever!
[stalagmite leans the other way, falls, and bridges the chasm]
Your character: BEST. IDEA. EVER! - Final Fantasy:
- Final Fantasy XI introduced an interesting example in its 5th expansion. When first arriving in a water-filled zone comprised of separate islands the only way to get between islands is to form tree bridges. To do so a powerful group of enemies must be killed at the base of the tree. The resulting bridge only stays for less than an hour before the same tree must be knocked down again.
- Final Fantasy XII manages to avert this troupe while still forming a bridge by felling trees at a river's edge in Giza Plains during "The Rains". An Elite Hunt called the Gil Snapper is located on an island that can only be reached by knocking several trees into a river. Rather than a single tree spanning the length currents carry several from various locations in the zone to form a dam of sorts.
- Subob is allowed to bridge gaps for his sleepwalking master to pass through by using literal fish bridges in Back To Bed.
- Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom provided an example at Hawme'a Falls, where there is an upright plank of wood besides the ravine. Not only is its height just right, but it will fall exactly into place after getting knocked down by Majins wind spell. Subverted in that it is not a true bridge but only there for a side path.
- In the Pokémon Ranger games, you are occasionally required to get a wild Pokémon to knock over a dead tree or similar object to create a bridge.
- At one point in Half Life 1, you have to call an aerial bombardment in order to break a hole in a wall and then to knock down a communications tower to make a makeshift bridge to said hole.

- Averted in The Last Guardian.  A moment later, the pillar slides free and tumbles into the chasm and you're forced to find another way across.
- The first time you visit Rhamu in Cosmic Star Heroine, Chahn gets a flamethrower which she uses to topple trees to use as bridges. Dave isn't enthusiastic about that idea, despite Chahn's reassurance.
- In Sonic Adventure 2, in Sand Ocean, you'll need to destroy the dynamite packs below the pillars to get the pillars to fall over and form bridges.
- The solution to a puzzle in Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire ... though rather than chopping the tree down, you throw a grenade made from hand-ground chemicals and mixed together by a museum creator in a partially destroyed laboratory. Amazingly, the blast is still so precisely directed that the tree falls exactly where you need it to.
Western Animation
- In Rocky and Bullwinkle, Boris Badenov tries to finish off the title characters by chopping a tree down over a gorge that Rocky and Bullwinkle are traveling under in a makeshift boat. The tree is too long and hits the other side of the gorge.
- Joked about on Invader Zim. Rather than using the conveniently-placed tree (even after it was pointed out), he decided to make a bridge out of his own teammates to cross the chasm.
- ReBoot has Megabyte do this while in a Military/Dinosaur game when running away from a Tankasauourous Rex (It Makes Sense in Context). It doesn't help him escape.
- The Secret Saturdays: Drew does this to provide an escape route in "Food of the Giants", although the trunk ultimately ends up sliding into the chasm.
- Taz-Mania: In "The Bushrats Must Be Crazy", a lightning bolt drops a conveniently placed tree across a chasm to allow the Bushrats to continue their search for the Great Duck. Subverted immediately afterwards as a second lightning bolt strikes the log while they are halfway across.
- In World of Quest, while not over a chasm but a muddy river is used quite cleverly. Through a magic enchantment Quest is forced to obey every command Prince Nestor gives him, but he has freedom over how to do it. When Nestor orders him to make a bridge over the muddy river so the party can walk across, Quest throws Nestor face down in the muck as everyone walks over him.
- In an episode of Adventures of the Gummi Bears, when the Gummi Bears are trekking through underground caverns and a bridge over a boiling chasm is destroyed, they topple a nearby statue, which is just tall enough for a makeshift bridge.
- Steven Universe: In "Cheeseburger Backpack", the Gems are exploring some ancient Gem ruins when they come across a flooded path. While Pearl tries to figure out a way over, Garnet simply knocks down a damaged pillar to make a bridge.
Real Life
- Inverted with the Root Bridges of Cherrapungee where the growth of living tree roots is guided to form bridges.


GOODBYE LOVER
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Warner Bros./Regency Director: Roland Joffe Writer: Ron Peer and Joel Cohen & Alex Sokolow Cast: Patricia Arquette, Dermot Mulroney, Ellen DeGeneres, Mary-Louise Parker, Don Johnson
Do you ever get the impression that people are no damn good? What's that...you say you saw "The Sound of Music," and that proves the opposite? Well, now, I guess everything depends on what you see in the movies, on TV, in cyberspace--now that we all get our impressions of humankind through the media rather than via personal contact. "Goodbye, Lover," for example, uses songs from "The Sound of Music" for the same ironic effect that made the Broadway musical the chief point of hilarity in last year's "Welcome to Woop Woop." The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic of 1959, which ran for 1433 performances in New York, was a treacly bauble even for the 1950s, when everyone was buttoned-up and innocent. How silly the tunes and lyrics sound today in the avaricious 90s, when for the first time in history a guy could actually plot to kill his own brother! And how ingenious to use its strains for incongruously humorous impact in this movie!
"Goodbye, Lover," which includes a fratricidal plot, was introduced to a warm reception at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1998, yet the movie has been sitting in a can on the studio shelf ever since, was scheduled for release in January, 2000, and has finally seen the dark of night on April 16 of this year. Despite its crackling good plot, superior performances, and elaborate design, online critic Michael Dequina feels that "its sensibilities are too warped to appeal to a wide audience." Perhaps this was the Warner Bros.' motive in keeping the goodies locked out of circulation for so long. I have more faith that there's indeed a extensive mass of moviegoers out there--in Europe if not in America--who can identity with the story's most cynical character, Detective Pompano (Ellen DeGeneres). DeGeneres consistently steals every scene she's in with her misanthropic convictions, amusingly putting down her Mormon partner (who gets the last words and the most ironic lines in the movie), Detective Rollins (Ray McKinnon).
Avarice is the subtext that runs throughout the film from the opening moments, as sensuous real estate agent Sandra Dunmore (Patricia Arquette) sprints through some self- improvement tapes which she has committed to memory as she drives to her clients. She alternates by singing along with Julie Andrews, whose honey-tipped voice permeates her home and car. Though hers is a childless, two-career family, her ambitions are dragged down by her alcoholic husband, Jake (Dermot Mulroney). Discouraged by her mate's performance, she conspires murder with her brother-in-law, Ben (Don Johnson), with whom she is having an affair and who is in turn serviced by his mousy assistant in the ad agency, Peggy (Mary-Louise Parker). When bodies begin piling up, Detective Rita Pompano and her partner Rollins use extralegal police tactics to flesh out the killers.
Sharp noir fans in the audience will likely figure out the intricate twists and turns of writer Ron Peer's story, directed with flair by Roland Joffe and stylistically filmed with great attention to detail by Dante Spinotte--who was behind the camera for the less tongue-in-cheek and more graphically brutal "L.A. Confidential." Once you perceive that nothing-- absolutely nothing--is as it seems, you should be able to calculate who's double-dealing whom and whose back will next get the figurative knife. After all, when eight million dollar in insurance money is at stake, you don't expect the character to act quite like Maria Rainer, the postulant at Nonnberg Abbey.
Though some of the curves appear contrived, the film rocks with high-caliber performances especially by Ellen DeGeneres in her signature role as scoffer-laureate, scoring sit-comish hits off her hayseed partner Rollins--who has the strange impression that the police exist to serve and protect the public and are unequivocally capable of doing just that. Patricia Arquette, consistently an endowed performer in such difficult but intriguing indies like "Lost Highway" and "Ed Wood," comes across strikingly as a bad, bad girl while Dermot Mulroney and Don Johnson fill the bill as brothers whose only similarity is their affinity for plotting. "Goodbye Lover" has sharper, more defined lines than "L.A. Confidential." Here is a labyrinthine exercise in film gris balancing tension with tongues-in-cheek to fashioning an ironic, malevolent, acrid and effervescent thriller.

MEAGAN HALL

After a long summer away from our beloved town, there are a few things every Bobcat needs to do their first week back in town to get into the Athens mood.
Michael Johnson | FILE
Becky Sirc, a barista at Donkey Coffee, makes an order on October 12, 2016.
Nearly everyone in Athens is obsessed with Donkey Coffee and Espresso. It’s cool vibe and homey feel make it a great place to hang out with friends or catch up on some homework.
It is common knowledge that Athens is basically a series of hills, and unforgiving hills at that. Get a head start on your stamina by walking around town and reminding yourself of how beautiful Athens is.
Don’t forget to check out the beautiful views those dreadful hills can offer. Hiking up Bong Hill before sunset and hanging around to see the sun go down over town is a sight to see.
Taking a walk around The Ridges, formerly known as the Athens Lunatic Asylum. Read up on some of the creepy legends of the ghosts before going and walking around with flashlights and friends.
Be a quintessential college student and hang out on the beautiful College Green. Take a book or have a picnic with friends and feel all the feels of being a college student.
Katie Klann | FILE
The exterior of Courtside Pizza, 85 N. Court St., in 2015.
Despite the long line, be sure to grab a slice of pizza from Courtside Pizza on
Wednesday nights before having a night out on the bricks (if you are of age, of course)
The combination may sound weird to some, but it is a good one. Grab this Athens-favorite sandwich at Uptown Grill.
Go to the famous Union Street Diner, open all day, every day, to grab some of the best diner food in Athens. Between the food options, such as fried mac and cheese and milkshakes, to the servers who are basically your best friends, it’s a great place to stop by anytime of the day.
Grab a bike, or just walk along the path any time of day for some beautiful views of the campus and the Hocking River. The bikeway is also a great place to just take a break when you need one.
Try to be a responsible student and plan out your week with a planner, whether it be the OU planners or a floral Lilly Pulitzer one. Yes, it is more than likely that we will all fail at using the planner for more than the first month of school, but at least we all tried.
Treat yourself to a new OU T-shirt to celebrate another (or first) year back on the most beautiful campus in the world. There are no shortages of bookstores Uptown with tons of options to choose from.

Glitz And Glam: Keeping Up With The Malulekas
by SL SocialThey say behind every successful man is a strong woman and behind every skilful midfielder is an even stronger one. Nobody embodies this more than Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Maluleka and his wife Larelle.
Check out their glamorous life.
Maluleka recently gave fans an idea of how the lovely couple met when they were just 13 years old.
“At age 13 I saw her, approached her, said hello and she said hi back. The rest is history as you can see. The Malulekas,” the midfielder wrote on Instagram, along with an image of his wife.

The duo can often be seen spending time with their children and when George is not strutting his stuff for Amakhosi, often heads out on cozy family trips.
Check out some of their best moments in the gallery above
Do you think Maluleka is the best midfielder at Kaizer Chiefs?


vue-keyboard
Installation
Either download the files from the repository or install with Bower:
$ bower install --save vue-keyboard
Basic Usage
Once you've added the JavaScript for the component to your application, you will be able to use it. The included CSS is optional and acts as more of a guide to laying out your keyboard.
To embed a simple keyboard with numbers 0-9, the markup could look like:
<keyboard layouts="123|456|789|0"></keyboard>
Giving the following result:
Capturing Input
You can use the v-model
attribute to bind the keyboard value to a value in your application.
Assuming your application has a data property input
:
<keyboard v-model="input" layouts="123|456|789|0"></keyboard>
Giving the following result:
Limiting Length
You can use the maxlength
attribute to restrict the maximum input length via the keyboard.
<keyboard v-model="input" :maxlength="6" layouts="123|456|789|0"></keyboard>
Giving the following result:
Multiple Layouts
Multiple keyboard layouts can be provided an an array to the layouts
attribute. From there you can use the special goto:n
key to toggle between them:
<keyboard :layouts="['123|456|789|0{toggle:goto:1}','ABC|DEF|GHI|J{toggle:goto:0}']"></keyboard>
Special Keys
Custom functionality can be attached to keys within the keyboard using the {text:action}
syntax, for example;
<keyboard layouts="01234|56789|{double:dub}" @dub="double"></keyboard>
In this example, we tell the double
button to emit an event named dub
. We listen for that event with the @dub="double"
directive, which calls the double
function in the main Vue application, which looks like this:
double: function(keyboard) {
if (keyboard.value.length > 0) {
keyboard.mutate((keyboard.value * 2).toString());
}
}
Note there is some inbuilt special functionality, those being: space
to add a whitespace character, backspace
to delete the last character, clear
to clear all input and goto:n
to swap the keyboard over to a different layout.
Complete Example
Here is a complete example:
<keyboard
v-model="input"
:layouts="[
'1234567890{delete:backspace}|qwertyuiop|asdfghjkl|{shift:goto:1}zxcvbnm|{space:space}{reverse:reverse}',
'!@#$%^&*(){delete:backspace}|QWERTYUIOP|ASDFGHJKL|{shift:goto:0}ZXCVBNM|{space:space}{reverse:reverse}'
]"
:maxlength="16"
@reverse="reverse"
></keyboard>

So i thought about making something special for you, but then also wanted to do something unique for
you,then i thought why not do something which i'm good at hope you like it. I planned to build this
website for you, so whenever you miss me you can go through it, First i started thinking how should i
make it then i thought about it and finally decided to add the particle thing that you liked.
I still remember the time we met here, and later on falling in love with you. To be honest i've never
cried when someone said me "I LOVE YOU" but when you did i cried. I just love hanging out with you,
our small chats or our mini dates i just love it and i want to keep doing it and seriously speaking
YOU ARE THE BEST THING HAPPENED TO ME
Everytime i hear this song i love you more and i want you to stay with me forever


It was, again, a strange year and not the most enjoyable one, to put it nicely.
I dived into films, partly for this blog, with my series on cinema from 1988 and my future post about blockbusters expectations versus reality.
I finally had the chance to properly try VR with Half-Life: Alyx and I would like to have it at home!
Outside of fiction, the Tokyo Olympics and Formula One gave us exciting stories.
Otherwise, I don’t think I will remember any specific piece of art from the year but I strongly wish to experience live music again in 2022.
Film
This year, I watched 139 (!) films, including 41 from 2021 and some from 1988. I’ve reached a limit, I’ll slow down for my sanity and, maybe to enjoy them even more.
🏆 Luca from Pixar is the one that gives me the most joy and tears, with a cosy Italian summer vibe. I love the character design and the music.
Mentions
- West Side Story is beautiful and stimulating.
- The Mitchells Vs. the Machines lives up to the expectations after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the previous Sony Pictures Animation film.
- The French Dispatch. I was afraid of a certain Wes Anderson fatigue but I loved it, even if the frame was cropped in my cinema. I need to rewatch it.
- The Green Knight put me in a nice Arthurian legends vibe (with Kaamelott: First Installment as well).
TV
🏆 Arcane is a tour de force, visually, while being a perfectly paced engaging story. I’m following Fortiche productions since first K/DA music video, they have stepped up in a crazy way. I don’t know how they produce a full season at this level of quality. I’m looking forward for the making-of to understand how the facial animation is done, this mix of 3D and 2D is impressive.
Mentions
- Ted Lasso’s second season starts slow but becomes as good, or even better, than the amazingly bittersweet first season after a couple episodes. To be honest, it could be the best TV show of the year twice in a row.
- The Beatles : Get Back is a precious project in an atypical format: inspiring.
- The Nevers was relatively fun; don’t miss the last episode.

Video game
This year, I tried to complete some "old" unfinished games I had in my backlog (Quantum Break, Star Wars: Battlefront II, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, Titanfall 2 and Gears 5) and frankly, I learned that you should not force yourself. I also played a lot of For Honor and Star Wars: Squadrons online, it’s still very fun! And discovered my first MMO with Final Fantasy XIV!
So I don’t have a clear winner of the best video game of 2021 but I spent many hours on two AAA games that don’t reinvent the wheel but are really nice to play: Halo Infinite multiplayer and Humankind.
On the indie side, The Artful Escape and Unpacking were very good surprises (contrary to Twelve minutes).
I also discovered very late in the year Wordle and I’m already addicted.

ALADDIN A film review by Raul Cairo Copyright 1992 Raul Cairo
Disney has done it again. After thirty animated feature films, it is still surprising that Disney can still surpass themselves. I remember walking out of the theatre and staying in awe of the animation that I saw. It may be to early to say, but this movie is definitely destined to be a classic in its own realm.
The movie starts off with the introduction of an old artifacts salesman who tells us the story of this old magical lamp which he is selling, then we go into flashbacks and we are soon introduced to Jafar, the wicked and power-hungry counselor of the sultan. He is anxiously trying to find someone who is worthy enough to go into the mystical cave of wonder and try to retrieve the lamp.
And like all fairy tales we are introduced to the hero, the worthy one who can go and retrieve the lamp. His name is Aladdin. One thing that definitely must be learned is that all Disney animated features have been in their own rights classics, and ALADDIN is not to be ignored, With magnificent animation, truly entertaining songs, and most definitely terrific performances. The shining and truly glimmering light in this movie, is Robin Williams, who portrays the voice of the genie. Just his performance in this film makes the movie great. Of course there are others such as Lea Solonga who does the singing voice of Princess Jasmin, and Gilbert Gottfried who supplies his talent for the voice of Iago, the cruel and malicious parrot who rides on the shoulder of his master Jafar.
In short, if you believe that ALADDIN is a movie that is just for kids, you are truly mistaken. Don't miss this movie that will forever remain a permanent fixture in the Disney family of film. A terrific must see--10 points out of 10.

Annotations for validating entity beans.
We will look to migrate over to the standard java bean validation annotations.
You and put these annotations on entity beans and either get Ebean to automatically validate on Ebean.save() or manually validate using Ebean.validate().
It is possibly debatable if validation should be performed by an ORM rather than at a higher level in your application.
Even if you choose not to use these validation annotations the validation framework is in place and if you wish Ebean can automatically read the maximum lengths of all varchar columns (and not nullable constraints) from the database meta data. This is useful when using JDBC batching where the error reporting can be rather obscure (as the error could occur on any data in the batch).
## turn on automatic validation for Ebean.save() ebean.validation=true ## turn on automatic creation of not null validation ## and max length validation for varchar's based on ## database meta data (no annotations required) ebean.validation.autocreate=true ## for more specific control... ## ## ebean.validation.autocreate.notnull=true ## ebean.validation.autocreate.length=true ## ebean.validation.autocreate.length.max=4000 ## NB: Only auto create length validation for ## varchar columns less than 4000 characters

About CocoaPad
CocoaPad is a simple Mac OS X word processor that's one-of-a-kind. It can do regular word processing, supports images, can open RTF and text files, and it also has a few features of its own (like CAPITALIZING text).
About this version
Version 1.1 fixes a couple of annoying bugs from the initial release:
- CocoaPad now opens Word documents correctly.
- The bug where saving makes the cursor revert to the place you last typed has been fixed.
The Joy of Open Source
For other programmers who want to see a real program's code, so they can get started on their own programs, CocoaPad is Open Source. That means anyone can see the source. That also means they can discuss bugs, improve it, etc. Of course, they could steal it, but this is such a simple program, it wouldn't be worth much.

FitsException is the base class for all exceptions thrown by this library.
All exceptions derived from this class can be caught by a single 'catch' clause catching FitsException by reference (which is the point of this base class design).
A static "verboseMode" parameter is provided by the FITS class to control diagnostics - if FITS::verboseMode() is true, all diagnostics are printed (for debugging purposes). If not, then a boolean silent determines printing of messages. Each exception derived from FitsException must define a default value for the silent parameter.
| CCfits::FitsException::FitsException | ( | const string & | diag, |
| bool & | silent | ||
| ) |
| diag | A diagnostic string to be printed optionally. |
| silent | A boolean controlling the printing of messages |
| const string & CCfits::FitsException::message | ( | ) | const [inline] |
returns the error message
This returns the diagnostic error message associated with the exception object, and which is accessible regardless of the verboseMode and silent flag settings.

These rules are laid down to allow a fun, entertaining and fair event for everyone. They are subject for iteration and improvement. These rules apply to all jams, unless otherwise stated.
The admins may remove games if they do not conform to these regulations.
Every game jam can be divided into the following states:
The theme will be randomly chosen from suggestions from the previous jams, from IRC and from the subreddit. It will be announced at the beginning of the contest here, in the BaconGameJam subreddit and on IRC. Everyone may suggest a theme.
Participants who have registered with the option to receive email notifications will also receive the theme by email.
All games must have something to do with the theme. We won't be fussy about that, though, so it's ok if the theme is not the main thing of your project, but it has to be visible. Browse the list of jams to see what has been chosen as theme previously.
Freely available, external artwork may be used as long as a source is provided in the posted game. The artwork authors should be credited. This applies to sounds and graphics likewise.
Making a cross-platform game is strongly encouraged. However, you are not required to make your game cross-platform in order to participate. Be aware that the community does not consist only of Windows users. A user may downvote your game if it can't run on the user's platform.
Any freely available external libraries may be used for your game. The library doesn't need to be FOSS but it can't be payware. Proprietary engines like UE4 and Unity are alright.
Usage of snippets/personal code is allowed, as long as its not game related code. You can code your engine/toolset before the jam, but you should not code the game before the jam starts.
 If you make a game full of shaders and fancy graphics stuff, do not expect everyone to be able to run it. You are free to do this, though. Be sensible.
When packaging, you are not required to provide the full source of your game with the release, it is encouraged however. Game jams are a learning effort for everyone and the games created for it provide excellent and small working examples. Do not be scared about losing your copyright, even if you choose a copyleft license. The code is still yours and you may use it commercially afterwards, regardless of the license you choose for this game jam. External libraries should be included in the most sensible way. A small library like zlib may be put directly into the sources if this is more convenient. A bigger library like Ogre3D should only be referred. You will get some extra time (usually one day) for packaging your game after the jam has ended. Ask in IRC if you need help with compiling/packaging.
Use of a publicly accessible source control system is encouraged but not required. Github is recommended. To make this clear, you are not required to share your source but again, you are encouraged to do so.
Solo jams: You have to work on your own. All content that is being created for your game within the time of the game has to come from you. That includes the source (except external resources or older snippets available to the public), artwork, sound and everything else.
Team jams: You can work in teams. The team size is stated in the jam description, if not, it's unlimited. Your team can include coders, artists, game designers, composers, anyone.
The time limit is stated in the jam details. A normal jam runs for 48 hours, starting from the announcement of the theme in IRC. Any work after the deadline is purely minor bug fixing, compatibility fixing and packaging. No gameplay changes allowed.


VIRTUOSITY and THE NET Film reviews by Theodore Potter Copyright 1995 Theodore Potter
And so, two more "cyber movies" invade theaters--VIRTUOSITY and THE NET--really, two more formula action/thrillers. There has been such a saturation of action pictures in the last few years that their plots seem almost irrelevant; the better ones are distinguished by their style and the performance of the actors. With this in mind, VIRTUOSITY is easily the better ride, as THE NET seems satisfied in simply turning the same ol' screws and plugging in old cliches.
Denzel Washington and Sandra Bullock each start off as The Sympathetic Action Hero, the '90's version of the cocky do-it-all Stallone/Schwarzenegger type we were treated to in the '80's. Washington is Parker Barnes, an ex-cop now doing time in a way-too-futuristic-for-1999 prison (the obsession with the end of the millenium is getting ridiculous!). Denzel has to Come To Terms with the murder of his family. Bullock plays Angela Bennett, a computer virus specialist who has to Come To Terms with growing up without a father, with a mother who can't remember her, and with her own social phobias. They're both likeable, sympathetic characters, but the general blandness of THE NET makes it easier to feel the screws being turned on you.
Kelly Lynch and Dennis Miller are Washington's and Bullock's sidekicks, respectively. While Lynch's character is there to essentially move the plot along, Dennis Miller does his very best to inject some fun into the lifeless "Net". Every scene he was in had me grinning, but of course, he is dispatched all too quickly by the villains and the editors.
As anyone who's seen a James Bond or Star Trek movie knows, these movies sink or swim on the strength of their villains. Russell Crowe makes a real splash with Sid 6.7, a virtual reality simulation who comes to life to have his brand of fun with Denzel.  He knows exactly which buttons to push on Denzel, and in turn the audience. Crowe has real fun in the role (look for an Elvis leg shimmy in the climax of the nightclub scene), while still turning in a multi-layered performance where a lesser actor might have played it as a one-note.
There are at least three different villains in THE NET, watering down the already predictable chase sequences. (The obligatory merry-go-round chase is here, in fine form.) If the script actually allowed these "professionals" to eliminate Bullock's character (who comes across a disk which could foil a corporate conspiracy, if you really care) as swiftly as they dispatch the other nonessentials, the movie wouldn't last fifteen minutes. However, they're prone to what Roger Ebert calls The Fallacy of the Talking Killer, where the hero is at the villain's mercy, but the villain procrastinates just long enough for the hero to figure out what's going on and find a way out.
Neither of these pictures belong with the year's best, but VIRTUOSITY wins out on its style and street smarts, while THE NET almost succeeds in making the computers more interesting than all its human counterparts combined.

Don't rembember when I started coding but got fascinated with computers when I was in freshman years. After getting my new computer I spend lot of time playing online games. Some where down the line I started exploring some of the best things that can be done with it which pushed me to learn programming. I got my hands dirty coding with C and C++ at the early stage and managed to complete my formal gradute degree with some handful of hobby projects.
My passion towards computers made to pursue a career as a Software Engineer.

PartialDependenceExplainer
(estimator, n_grid_points=50)¶ Partial Dependence explanation [1].
- Currently only supports binary classification and regression classifiers.
- Works for both numerical and categorical columns.
Parameters: - estimator (sklearn-like classifier) – Model that was fitted on the data.
- n_grid_points (int, default 50) – Number of grid points used in replacement for the original numeric data. Only used if the targeted column is numeric.
-
feature_name_
¶ str – The input feature_name to the .fit unmodified, will be used in subsequent method.
-
feature_type_
¶ str – The input feature_type to the .fit unmodified, will be used in subsequent method.
-
feature_grid_
¶ 1d ndarray – Unique grid points that were used to generate the partial dependence result.

explain_plot
(results, center=True)¶ Use the partial dependence result to generate a partial dependence plot (using matplotlib).
Parameters: - results (DataFrame) – Partial dependence result.
- center (bool, default True) – Center the partial dependence plot by subtacting every partial dependence result table’s column value with the value of the first column, i.e. first column’s value will serve as the baseline (centered at 0) for all other values.
Returns: Return type: figure

fit
(data, feature_name, feature_type)¶ Obtain the partial dependence result.
Parameters: Returns: results – Partial dependence result.
Return type: DataFrame


Color dependence
Priority: 3
Introduction
Color makes interfaces attractive and can sometimes help to reinforce meaning. For example, red is associated with danger in many Western cultures, and may form part of a ‘delete’ button’s design.
But dependence on color alone to communicate important information runs the risk of alienating a range of users, including those with forms of color blindness, and others with monochrome displays.
In each case color is used to differentiate items, a supplementary alternative method of differentiation should also be present. The convention of underlining inline links, for example, is considered robust. For keys that differentiate bars in bar charts or segments in pie charts by color, embedded patterns can assist comprehension.

- 1.4.1 Use of Color (level A)
Scope of the issue
Inline links
The Join site “Switch now” page “Have your bill handy? Refine your quote” text:
The Account dashboard Dashboard “Need help?” text:
Chart keys
Some charts included depend on color alone for differentiating bars.
- “Switch now” page (Join site)
- My usage (Account dashboard)
Form errors
Form errors are presented differently around the three sites (see Inconsistency). But, in some cases, only color is used to differentiate the error. For example: the Join site Welcome page (pictured).
Full list of affected URLs:
- Welcome page (Join site)
- My information page (Join site)
Elsewhere, “✖” symbols are used to mark errors, so there is no problem.
Fixing the issue
Inline links
By virtue of convention, users expect links to have underlines of some form. Whether these are provided using text-decoration
, border
, or a linear gradient is another question. The most readable method for the font’s metrics is the soundest choice.
One thing that can improve readability for text-decoration
in supporting browsers is the use of text-decoration-skip
, which stops the underline intersecting descenders of the font.
a {
text-decoration: underline;
text-decoration-skip: ink;
}
Here is a demo (you should see the effect in Chrome, Opera, and Safari if you use the -webkit-
prefix):
Chart keys
It is recommended that linear-gradient
based patterns are used to help differentiate the different bars and bar parts. Following is a demo of some gradient options for the My usage page:
- Gas usage
- Electricity usage
- Projected gas usage
- Projected electricity usage
Form errors
Use a method to make the error text stand out, such as prefixing the message with Error:
or providing a warning icon. Should you opt for an icon, ensure it has an accessible label in the form “Error:“.
Your postcode:
<input id="postcode" name="postcode" aria-describedby="postcode-error">

<svg aria-label="Error:" focusable="false">
<use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="/assets/images/icons/forms.svg#error"></use>
</svg>
Please enter a valid postcode.

- The
aria-label
property provides the accessible label focusable="false"
stops the SVG being focusable in Internet Explorer. This should be applied to all inline SVGs in the Bulb sites.
