Coach’s Corner! An Interview with Greg Menegat
Brooke Baum

February 25, 2014
Coach’s Corner!
An Interview with Greg Menegat
For the past ten years, Greg Menegat has coached youth sports in the Eugene area, as well as with KIDSPORTS. Menegat has lived in the Eugene area most of his life and was active in youth sports as a child, eventually a two-time all state player at Creswell High School and Most Valuable Player at Menlo College in 1987. This will be Menegat’s second year coaching his twin boys at the KIDSPORTS Invitational.
We caught up with Menegat to discuss his experience at the 2013 KSI.
How did you get started with KIDSPORTS and the Invitational?
My kids have always been involved in sports. I heard about the tournament through Bev and the KIDSPORTS website. It looked like something the kids would really enjoy and in retrospect they did.
What kind of impact does KIDSPORTS have in the community?
I have many fond memories from youth sports while growing up, and recognize and appreciate the discipline I developed from this participation. I think it’s very important for children to be engaged regardless of what it is. KIDSPORTS in particular really emphasizes participation, not necessarily competition. This is so important because they may not all end up being D-1 athletes but it keeps them engaged and healthy.
Do you coach during the regular season?
Yes, I coach the KIDSPORTS team with my 7th grade twin boys.
How are the KSI teams formed? Did you split up your team from the regular season?
No, the team was made by the kids at school; they chose the teams themselves.
What did the kids enjoy about the 2013 KSI? What is different about coaching 3-on-3?
As a coach, I love it because the skills you learn from playing 3-no-3 are super foundational for the 5-on-5 games. For the kids I think they dig the freedom. They were coached all season on things like zone defense, so this tournament allows for more free-reign to show what they have learned. I think it’s important for the kids to develop free thinking on the floor and get out there to see what you can do and try new things.
How did parents respond to the tournament?
I think the parents love the tournament the same way I did. It’s very exciting to be around the college players. The kids are so jazzed about being at a large venue and to have the college athletes watch them play basketball. Parents love seeing their kids light up and to know that this memory is going to stay with their kid forever.
What was most memorable and rewarding for you?
Seeing my kids play. I remember there was an Oregon Ducks basketball player on the side watching their game; seeing their faces while they played, knowing he was watching them, was cool.
As an adult, I have very fond memories of participating in youth sports at Mac Court, so being in a venue like Matthew Knight Arena is a tremendous experience for the kids. Playing on the same court as their heroes is very exciting.
I know this fosters a lot of excitement for the game and I think it is very important for them because not everyone is going to be an NBA player. But maybe down the road one of them is going to make a decision to stay active in KIDSPORTS or basketball because of this tournament.
What is the biggest advice you would give to youth basketball players?
Participation. I coach a lot of kids that aren’t super high level, but I would encourage anyone to go out and participate – try even if you aren’t the best, as opposed to not trying it. The one thing I ask all kids is to give it 100 percent. No matter what you are doing, go all out. It defines success in life, not just basketball- giving it your all.
Coach Menegat plans to coach his twins’ team again this year. We look forward to seeing them on the court in April!

Biographical Sketch of Charles
Andrew Kinkade
Sketch quoted from OUR
BOOK: OUR ANCESTORS, OURSELVES, AND OUR CHILDREN by Ben F. Dixon, 1932:
pages 214-215.
Charles Andrew Kinkade, son of Ebenezer Kinkade and Sarah
Spillman,
was born near Shelbyville,
Shelby County, Indiana, Feb. 22, 1852.
He was named for his two grandfathers, Charles Spillman and Andrew
Kinkade.
He married at
Alexandria, MO, November 24, 1872, Cordelia Delano Atwood, daughter of Alonzo
Perry Atwood and Elisabeth Coleman;
Rev. E. Carlyle, Methodist Minister officiating. She was born near Picatonic, ILL., Nov. 11,
1851.
Charles Andrew Kinkade has been a wanderer on the face of
the earth. At the age of 3 he started,
when his father and mother removed from Shelby County, Indiana to Stark County,
Ill. At 16 or 17 he followed the family
to Iowa, for a winter's work on the Mississippi River Canal near Keokuk. Thence to Clark County, Mo. In 1872 he went
back to Illinois, in 1874 to Keokuk, Iowa, and in 1877 to Missouri once
more. In 1890 he removed his family of a wife and
five, to Illinois, and a
few years later to Keokuk, Iowa, once more.
He was working in Texas in 1900, and was at Galveston during the great
tidal wave that wrecked the town. In
1901 he settled in Ford County, Kansas, where he resided until 1915. Thence to Idaho; on to Washington in 1916,
and back to Illinois for the last trip in 1928 . . . address, present: Bentley,
ILL.
The Stark County Kinkades have been a clan of stone
cutters--Alva
Stickle who married
Katherine Kinkade, daughter of Secrest Kinkade and Elisabeth Spillman, was a
stonecutter. Pearly Nicholas Dixon who
married Rachel Kinkade was a stonecutter.
Ebenezer Stansberry Kinkade
himself a cutter and hewer of stone when he wasn't farming or selling
Oxien Remedies was the father of four stone cutters: Charles Andrew, the Doyan of the clan, Benjamin Franklin,
another wandering
stonecutter, Edgar Lane (d 1930), and
Ebenezer Stansberry Jr. who left the stonecutter's trade for the railway mail
service.

These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
Added a new StochasticLoadBalancer that when enabled will perform a randomized search for the optimal cluster balance. The new balancer takes into account data locality, storefile size, memstore size, and the evenness of tables over region servers when trying potential new cluster states.
To enable the new balancer set hbase.master.loadbalancer.class to org.apache.hadoop.hbase.master.balancer.StochasticLoadBalancer . It is also recommended to set hbase.master.loadbalance.bytable to false . Lots of different configuration options can be tuned to prioritize costs differently. Explanations of all of the configuration options are available on the JavaDoc for StochasticLoadBalancer.
StochasticLoadBalancer is the default in 0.96.0
committed to 0.95 and trunk last week
Changed default number of RPC reties to 30 to ensure the client doesn't give up too soon during a region fail over.
Changes format of log messages; shorter thread names, favors encoded region name rather than full name or full descriptor, etc.
The puts are now streamed, i.e. sent asynchronously to the region servers if autoflush it set to false. If a region server is slow or does not respond, its puts are kept into the write buffer while the others are sent to these respective region server, until the write buffer is full. This feature is keeps the semantic of the interface already existing in 0.94 when using autoflush.
This change adds support for restricting access to table schema. Only a user with GLOBAL ADMIN privilege can enumerate the full list of table schemas. If passed a list of specific tables, the AccessController will check that the user has either GLOBAL ADMIN privs, or TABLE ADMIN or TABLE CREATE privs for all of the listed tables before allowing the request.
"Raw" scans (Scan.setRaw(true)), now honor the scan's time range if specified. Previously the time range would be ignored.
Formats the ensemble string we pass to the zookeeper constructor so instead of server1,server2,server3:port, it is instead server1:port,server2:port, etc., as zk expects in its connectString parameter.
Retry backoff intervals and retry count were set in such manner that at most ~5.5 minutes are spent retrying. On 94 this was adjusted up (from 1~min.), and on trunk/95 - down (from ~40min).
stop_replication and start_replication aren't available anymore due to the confusion it was causing. The right way to stop/start replication is to disable_peer and enable_peer, for each peers.
Changes retries so we ram up quickly from a pause of 100ms between retries to 10 seonds between retries. Once at ten seconds, we keep retrying unto the maxium of 35 times by default which works out to about five minutes. Change this configuration to suit your work load.
Reformat of proto labels to suit protobuf style
Added Durability setting for table with HTableDescriptor.setDurability() API. Deprecated HTableDescriptor.setDeferredLogFlush(), and shell usage in favor of the new durability setting. Now, durability can be configured per table and per mutation.
With the patch, if "hbase.rest.authentication.type" is set to "kerberos" and security is turned on, REST server will impersonate the authenticated user in access HBase.
The RPC layer proxy user settings should be configured properly to allow impersonation.
Changed the coprocessor RegionObserver methods preBatchMutate and postBatchMutate to remove the lock ids from the methods as lock ids are not longer used.
As distributed log splitting is getting more and more stable, non-distributed log splitting is removed and not supported any more. The configuration hbase.master.distributed.log.splitting is also removed, which used to the configuration to turn distributed log splitting on (true) and off (false).
Removed this set of tests.
Add retrying of Master operations; helps when running hbase-it and chaos monkey kills Master or Master is not yet up ready to take on operations.
Refactors ServerCallable. ServerCallable had a public call() method and then beside it a withRetries() and also a withoutRetries(). Confusing. Also the rpc retrying with its specific handling of server exception returns was not reusable buried down in ServerCallable guts.
This patch moves the rpc retrying code out of ServerCallable into a utility RpcRetryingCaller class (A 'Caller' runs the 'Callable'). ServerCallable shrinks, implements a new RetryingCallable Interface, and becomes RegionServerCallable, a class that is just about Calling -- no rpc nor retries, a Callable class with added details on where the Callable is to be applied (table name and row), -- etc.
This pattern is then applied to Master operations. Master operations were not retried previously. The Master operation Callables are now like RegionServerCallable (though they need to carry way less detail), implement RetryingCallable, and are passed to RpcRetryingCaller so they are retried. Changed some exceptions so they now implement DoNotRetryException because not all master operations should be retried.
When passing a TScan object, it's possible to ask for sortColumns. The result of doing this will populate TRowResult's "sortedColumns" instead of "columns", where the former is a list of the new type TColumn that wraps a column name and a TCell. Backward compatibility is kept. Old clients will work against thrift servers with this patch, but new clients cannot request sorted columns on an old thrift server.
Support custom RpcRetryingCaller via a configurable factory.
This change has an impact on the number of watches set on the ${zookeeper.znode.parent}/rs node in ZK in a replication slave cluster (i.e. a cluster that is being replicated to). Every region server in each master cluster will place a watch on the rs node of each slave node. No additional configuration is necessary for this, but this could potentially have an impact the performance and/or hardware requirements of ZK on very large clusters.
HBase unit test now pass when run against hadoop2 (hadoop-2.0..5-alpha)
While writing hfiles from HFileOutputFormat forcing blocksize from table schema(HColumnDescriptor). Even if we configure hbase.mapreduce.hfileoutputformat.blocksize during bulkload/import it will be overridden with actual block size from table schema.
Make it so tests run WITHOUT short circuit reads by default.
Table descriptors are now moved inside hdfs from residing directly in the table directory (alongside region directories) to being in a well known subdirectory called ".tabledesc". For example, instead of /hbase/exampleTable/.tableinfo.0000000003 the file would be /hbase/exampleTable/.tabledesc/.tableinfo.0000000003 after this release. The same will be true for snapshots. The first active master to be started up will move these files for existing tables and snapshots.
Reverted Scanner Pre-fetching
ReplicationSource won't backoff sleeping time if it can correctly read from the WAL even though it's not replicating anything. In that kind of situation it will put more load on the NN. replication.source.sleepforretries can still be tweaked to set the minimal sleep time.
When a replication source's queue is higher than replication.source.log.queue.warn (default 2), it will print a WARN in the log as a new log is added.
When we publish artifacts, we add a -hadoop1 or -hadoop2 to the version to distingush hbase compiled against hadoop1 from that compiled against hadoop2. This issue adds a script that runs against checked out poms to derive poms that have the -hadoop1 or -hadoop2 modification made and they add/remove to the poms the appropriate set of modules to bundle. See refguide for final doc on how to make use of this script building (TODO); refguide will replace the notes here.
This issue introduces a few new APIs: * HConnectionManager: {code} public static HConnection createConnection(Configuration conf) public static HConnection createConnection(Configuration conf, ExecutorService pool) {code} * HConnection: {code} public HTableInterface getTable(String tableName) throws IOException public HTableInterface getTable(byte[] tableName) throws IOException public HTableInterface getTable(String tableName, ExecutorService pool) throws IOException public HTableInterface getTable(byte[] tableName, ExecutorService pool) throws IOException {code}
By default HConnectionImplementation will create an ExecutorService when needed. The ExecutorService can optionally passed be passed in. HTableInterfaces are retrieved from the HConnection. By default the HConnection's ExecutorService is used, but optionally that can be overridden for each HTable.
HBASE-9142 Mutation#getFamilyMap() return type change between HBase 94 and 96 breaks downstream apps
For 0.95/0.96, we need to preserve the getFamilyMap signature through a deprecation cycle. The new method needs to be present alongside the old in 0.95, so we rename the method with the new signature to getFamilyCellMap() in both trunk and 0.95, and restore a deprecated version of the old in 0.95.
Online schema chages are now enabled by default.
Move HBASE_CLASSPATH to the beginning of the CLASSPATH in bin/hbase script.
Tool that looks at jenkins builds and identifies flakey tests or tests that are 'invisibles' -- not mentioned in the test listing but that nonetheless cause the build to fail. See the README.md under dev-tools/jenkins-tools for how to build and use.
Extract ByteRange out to an interface. Existing implementation becomes SimpleByteRange. Extend ByteRange interface with PositionedByteRange. Includes a position marker for tracking a consumer's place within a range. Implement SimplePositionedByteRange as subclass of SimpleByteRange. Also update and clarify documentation. This class starts to become a mutable alternative to java.nio.HeapByteBuffer.
OrderedBytes provides a data encoding format in which the resulting byte[] retains the same sort order as the natural types. Encoded formats can be inspected and decoded without forward knowledge of their content. Implementations are provided for integer and floating point numbers with 32- and 64-bits of precision, numeric values of arbitrary precision, Strings, and byte[]s. Utility methods for counting and skipping encoded entries are also provided.
Most of the encoding formats are modeled after the SQLite4 key encoding format. Implementations of variable-length encodings are very similar. Fixed-width encodings are modeled after the fixed-width formats provided by the Orderly library. Javadocs on the OrderedBytes class describe the encoding format in detail. See http://sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/key_encoding.wiki for additional context.
Notable deviation from the sqlite4 spec include: - Different header byte values. This is to give users more room to place their own, custom encoding extensions as they see fit. - BlobCopy is modified to include a termination byte of 0x00 in descending order. This is necessary in order to maintain reverse sort order of empty values. It is also renamed from "BlobLast". - Support for fixed-length integer and float encodings. Based on implementations from the Orderly library.
This patch introduces an extensible data types API for HBase. It is inspired by the following systems:
This patch introduces an interface, DataType, along with a number of data type implementations based on the Bytes encoding. Also included are Struct and Union types, demonstrating simple implementations of compound types. Helper classes around the Struct implementation are also provided.
This patch does not address the type compatibility concerns expressed by Phoenix's PDataType API (ie, isComparableTo, isCoercibleTo); these will be addressed in HBASE-8863.
This patch also provides DataType implementations based on the OrderedBytes encoding from HBASE-8201.
list_replicated_tables can now be used in the shell to get the list of tables and families that are configured to be replicated, instead of having to describe all the tables and manually filter those that have a replication scope of 1
This patch introduces security privileges to create, alter or drop namespaces. When security is enabled only global admin is allowed to do such operations. Richer namespace privileges will be introduced in HBASE-9206.
Changes the dir names under hbase.rootdir dropping the no longer needed prefix '.' and renaming a few.
".logs" -> "WALs"; ".splitlog" -> "splitWAL" ".corrupt" -> "corrupt" ".oldlogs" -> "oldWALs" ".data" -> "data" ".archive" -> "archive"
Updated to HTrace 2.00.
It is now possible to choose which ChaosMonkey you want to run with an integration test.

A car rental, hire car, or car hire agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods of time, generally ranging from a few hours to a few weeks. It is often organized with numerous local branches (which allow a user to return a vehicle to a different location), and primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online reservations.
Alongside the basic rental of a vehicle, car rental agencies typically also offer extra products such as insurance, global positioning system (GPS) navigation systems, entertainment systems, mobile phones, portable WiFi and child safety seats.

Verify that data is not lost during integer conversion. Typical errors that may occur are truncation and losing sign information.
If data is lost during conversion, an unpredictable/unintended value may be stored in a variable. If this variable is used for program flow control, memory operations, or array indexing, an arbitrary code execution vulnerability may result.
Identify all integer conversion operations. Make sure that ranges are checked before assigning the result of the conversion to a variable.
Identify all integer conversion operations. Add range checks to verify that the result of integer conversion is valid before assigning the result to a variable.
The following code may result in truncation, because an unsigned integer has a larger maximum value than a signed integer. The exact error may be different on different platforms.
unsigned short a = 50000;
signed short b = static_cast<signed short>(a);
To fix the problem example above, add range checks before assigning the result of conversion to a variable.
unsigned short a = 50000;
if (a > SHRT_MIN && a < SHRT_MAX) signed short b = static_cast<signed short>(a);
else {/*handle error*/}

MultisetInsertion sort with multisets
Require Import Perm.
Require Import Sort.
Require Export FunctionalExtensionality.
In this chapter we will be using natural numbers for two different
purposes: the values in the lists that we sort, and the
multiplicity (number of times occurring) of those values. To keep
things straight, we'll use the value type for values, and nat
for multiplicities.
Definition value := nat.
Definition multiset := value → nat.
Just like sets, multisets have operators for union, for the
empty multiset, and the multiset with just a single element.
Definition empty : multiset :=
fun x ⇒ 0.
Definition union (a b : multiset) : multiset :=
fun x ⇒ a x + b x.
Definition singleton (v: value) : multiset :=
fun x ⇒ if x =? v then 1 else 0.
Exercise: 1 star (union_assoc)
Since multisets are represented as functions, to prove that one multiset equals another we must use the axiom of functional extensionality.Lemma union_assoc: ∀ a b c : multiset, (* assoc stands for "associative" *)
union a (union b c) = union (union a b) c.
Proof.
intros.
extensionality x.
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
Lemma union_comm: ∀ a b : multiset, (* comm stands for "commutative" *)
union a b = union b a.
Proof.
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
☐
union a b = union b a.
Proof.
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
Fixpoint contents (al: list value) : multiset :=
match al with
| a :: bl ⇒ union (singleton a) (contents bl)
| nil ⇒ empty
end.
Recall the insertion-sort program from Sort.v. Note that it
handles lists with repeated elements just fine.
Example sort_pi: sort [3;1;4;1;5;9;2;6;5;3;5] = [1;1;2;3;3;4;5;5;5;6;9].
Proof. simpl. reflexivity. Qed.
Example sort_pi_same_contents:
contents (sort [3;1;4;1;5;9;2;6;5;3;5]) = contents [3;1;4;1;5;9;2;6;5;3;5].
Proof.
extensionality x.
do 10 (destruct x; try reflexivity).
(* Why does this work? Try it step by step, without do 10 *)
Qed.
Correctness
Definition is_a_sorting_algorithm' (f: list nat → list nat) :=
∀ al, contents al = contents (f al) ∧ sorted (f al).
Exercise: 3 stars (insert_contents)
First, prove the auxiliary lemma insert_contents, which will be useful for proving sort_contents below. Your proof will be by induction. You do not need to use extensionality.Lemma insert_contents: ∀ x l, contents (x::l) = contents (insert x l).
Proof.
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
Theorem sort_contents: ∀ l, contents l = contents (sort l).
(* FILL IN HERE *) Admitted.
Theorem insertion_sort_correct:

Proof.

Qed.
Exercise: 1 star (permutations_vs_multiset)
Compare your proofs of insert_perm, sort_perm with your proofs of insert_contents, sort_contents. Which proofs are simpler?- easier with permutations,
- easier with multisets
- about the same.
- permutations or
- multisets
Permutations and multisets

The forward direction is easy, by induction on the evidence for Permutation:Lemma perm_contents:

Namespaces
This document describes the stage namespaces introduced in RadarGun 3.0.
With more traits and different services, as well as with the number of stages growing the need to organize stages has come. Traditionally the whole benchmark was covered with one XML schema, stages using prefixes or postfixes to describe their target traits without any strict concept.
Plugins and reporters already use their XML schemas for configuration of services, and using XML namespaces is the XML-natural way to organize stages, too.
When XML schemas are generated, these all should end up in distribution directory in the schema/ subdirectory. For convenience, there's a directory symlink schema in root project directory that points to this directory so that IDE can recognize the generated XSD as source.
Essential namespaces
The root benchmark namespace is urn:radargun:benchmark:VERSION
, with benchmark
as the root element. This contains the master
, cluster
, configuration
, init
, scenario
, destroy
, cleanup
and reports
elements. Actually, the init
, destroy
and cleanup
elements extend a type defined in the urn:radargun:stages:core:VERSION
namespace, that contains all the basic stages not specific to particular service type, e.g. those related to service lifecycle, monitoring etc. Note that cache-like traits living in core in the past have been moved to separate module, extensions/cache.
When the benchmark does not contain the scenario directly but instead imports another file using <scenario url="...">
, the target file should use the urn:radargun:scenario:VERSION
namespace which has scenario
as a root element.
Although you can use any namespace prefix, the convention is to use prefix rg
for both urn:radargun:benchmark:VERSION
and urn:radargun:scenario:VERSION
since these two won't end up in the same file and describe similar elements (most notably the repeat
element), and urn:radargun:stages:core:VERSION
for the core stages.
Extension namespaces
Stages from each module end up by default in the module namespace that is urn:radargun:stages:MODULE:VERSION
, e.g. urn:radargun:stages:cache:3.0
for the radargun-cache module. When it is desired to use multiple namespaces within one module, stage class can be annotated with @Namespace
annotation. The value of the annotation is the full namespace name, e.g. @Namespace("urn:radargun:stages:foo:3.0")
(so it is possible to have namespace without the urn:radargun:stages
prefix, although it is not recommended). In the future, we plan to add an option to set namespace for whole package in package-info.java
, but this is not implemented so far.
The stage name should not contain the module name anymore - for example the stage CacheClearStage
has been renamed to ClearStage
and in the benchmark file it is used as <cache:clear .../>
instead of <cache-clear .../>
. Note the use of prefix cache
; you can use xmlns:xxx="urn:radargun:stages:cache:3.0
as well, but using module name as the prefix is the most readable.
The custom namespaces have been used for legacy stress test, that have been moved to separate namespace urn:radargun:stages:legacy:VERSION
in order to prevent mixing the 'new' stress tests and the 'legacy' ones. Example benchmarks that still use legacy stages use just l
as namespace prefix.
Map-Reduce, Distributed Execution and Streams ended up in the cache module as caches are currently the only services that implement these traits. In future, the stages can be moved to their own extension modules.
Plugins and reporters
Nothing has changed here, but there's no more the need to update symlinks to XSDs manually - the modules do not contain the symlink anymore, schema does the job.


jQuery UI provides a number of icons that can be used by applying class names to elements. The class names generally follow a syntax of .ui-icon-{icon type}-{icon sub description}-{direction}
. For example, the following will display an icon of a thick arrow pointing north:
The icons are also integrated into a number of jQuery UI's widgets, such as accordion, button, menu.
The following is a full list of the icons provided:

Skateboarding has arguably been around for the past 75 years, with the first device that resembled a skateboard showing up in the WWII era. It gained some popularity in the late 60's, and once again in the late 90's thanks to technology, letting millions of kids experience what skateboarding was all about without having to leave their living rooms. Thank you Tony Hawk!


Fairway felines: Bobcat kittens steal golf ball off Florida course
by Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content DeskA pair of young bobcats decided to disrupt a golfer's game Monday morning at a Florida course.
The kittens batted around a golf ball on the fairway at Bonita Fairways Golf Course in Bonita Springs before taking off with the sphere, the Naples Daily News reported.
Carol Rodgers told the newspaper she saw the frisky felines playing near the 13th hole of the golf course around 8 a.m. Monday. When a golfer hit a drive down the fairway, the bobcats were immediately interested.
“The two bobcats saw the ball, sniffed it and started playing with it,” Rodgers told the Daily News. “They were having lots of fun wrestling with it.”
The bobcats are likely 4 to 5 months old, Dave Onorato, a wildlife biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, told the newspaper.
“They are still with Mom at that age,” Onorato wrote in an email.
The golfer whose ball was stolen was allowed a free drop, the Daily News reported.


Snapshot Logs
Snapshot logs are a way to take a quick "picture" of the current state of the chat buffer and save it to a file.
In other words, it just grabs all of the text you've received so far, without making a single change to it, and stuffs it into a file. No biggy. Saving the file as Rich Text will preserve any formatting, such as color.
To save a snapshot log, all you have to do is select Chat -> Save Snapshot Log, select whether you want to save it as Rich Text Format (RTF) or text (saving it as text allows you to choose either the extension .log or .txt), and enter the filename. Simple.

THE PEBBLE AND THE PENGUIN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *
So what does it take to make a good movie for children? An intelligent and funny script? Fully developed and believable characters? A truly sinister villain? A compelling story? Yes, all of those and more.
If these seem similar to the requirements for a more adult film, they are. The only differences, to the extent that there are any, are the choice of subject matter and the limitations on activities (sex, violence, profanity, ...) that are not appropriate for youngsters.
The 1994 film THE PEBBLE AND THE PENGUIN, directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman, fails by just about any measure. My son Jeffrey, age 8, and I saw it in the theater in one of those summer morning children's films series. Our fairly full audience of kids had a severe case of the fidgets, and who can blame them.
The movie opens and closes with exceedingly bland musical numbers set to Barry Manilow tunes. Perhaps with handsomer animation, the numbers might have been tolerable. But the flat colors and unattractive drawings of this movie are never involving. Although there is one colorful scene set in the tropics, most of the drawings look as if they were quickly slapped together without regard to quality. While Disney movies are careful to get the animal motions right, the animals in this cheap imitation have predominately human mannerisms.
The shy hero of the story is a penguin named Hubie (voice by Martin Short). Rocko (voice by James Belushi) is his supposedly comical sidekick.
The story has Hubie wanting to give his pebble (think ring) to his timid and completely helpless girlfriend Marina (voice by Annie Golden). The penguin bad guy, drawn so poorly that I had to ask my son to stop complaining about it, is a dark skinned villain named Drake (Tim Curry). I am surprised they did not have a black hat on him.
The other villain is "man," and our heroes spend some time trapped in the hold of the ship "Misery." (The only funny joke in the film has Hubie and Rocko in a skiff pulled by a big boat. The big boat is named Homeward Bound and the little one is called Homeward Bound II. You savor any small pleasures you can find in this movie.)
Some funny one-liners sure would have been appreciated. Instead we get a stream of pointless dialog and some unfunny jokes worthy of a third rate vaudeville routine. ("What do you call a flower before it opens," asks Hubie? "A bud?" answers Rocko. "I love it when you call me bud," responds Hubie.)
"You are crazy, insane; you're amazing," Rocko tells Hubie. He, and all of the rest of the characters, are not any of these and therein lies the film's problem.
THE PEBBLE AND THE PENGUIN runs, thankfully, just 1:14. It is rated G for the lack of any offensive material. Jeffrey and I decided to rate the show "DD" for double dumb. He thought the many songs were particularly "stupid." We both give the picture thumbs down. I award it * only because it could have been worse.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

I don't know how I manage to do it or why I do it to myself. I somehow seem to get dragged into things at work that really I shouldn't be. There should be an entire level or two between me and the need to be customer facing for some things. In this instance I'm the developer of a software solution at work (not my usual role but something I took over about five or six years ago), I support the code, delivery kit, sales collateral, training etc in my spare time. A support case was opened and I have been called in to look at things and act as a liaison with another vendor, which is all fine and dandy, but rather than having the local support team involved with the customer they feel the need to pull me into the mix. Yes I can do it, but really, I should be working with the third party vendor on this only, the local teams, from account management, customer support, application support etc should be the ones fronting the meetings, not the developer.
Really do they want me in the meeting so I can say "See this single line of code ... this one small line where one variable is assigned the value from another? That is where it is failing." Do I know why? Well yes as a matter of fact I do know why, but I don't have the ability to work around it as I am reliant on that command working and there is no way to fork it off while we complete the rest of the logic flow. Crappy programming language, or sorry interpreted scripting language!
That was pretty much my evening unfortunately.


 The movie cuts from them just after they start their heist, and then tells three more stories before returning to our coffee guests. Quickly, the three segments are about taking the boss's wife out on a date; a boxer is forced to take a dive--and doesn't comply; and deposing of a body.
Just because this is the order things happen in the movie, does not mean that this is the order things are chronologically. Tarantino successfully juxtaposes time to pack that extra punch.
It's like having a dinner with several different foods, some you don't like, some you love. Therefore you save the best for last, but once in a while you can't restrain yourself, you need that good stuff.  But when the dessert arrives, it's like a whole new stomach opens, and you eat all the treats that are being served.
The movie opens wonderfully, but loses some steam after a while. Not to worry: Tarantino strikes back with an overwhelming power. Especially the last hour and a half or so, which is one long joyride. Just like a good book where you keep counting pages, hoping that there's a lot left. Alas when the end comes--after two and a half hours--the movie is definitely over. You just sit there begging for more.
Like Tarantino's debut--and one of my favorite movies--RESERVOIR DOGS, this movie is full of references to movies and life of all kind.
Butch the pugilist, played by Bruce Willis, plans to run off to Knoxville, Tennessee--the same town Tarantino himself was born.
In the Tarantino executive produced and Roger Avary directed film, KILLING ZOE, Eric Stoltz had a major part. Well, he's here too!
From RESERVOIR DOGS we have Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel in major roles, but not the same. Keitel more or less reprises his role from POINT OF NO RETURN.
And from TRUE ROMANCE we have Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette's sister--Rosanna, and making personal decisions in a bathroom.
Blaxploitation, pulp, noir, Godard. And the list goes on and on. Really, the movie just has to be experienced.
Yes, the trademark Tarantino dialog and violence is also in this movie. While the violence is perhaps more subdued, it's more often played for humor. There's no resisting laughing when Travolta accidentally (because of a bump in the road) kills a guy and his blood and brain splatters all over the car he's in. It might be sick, but it's a whole lot of fun. This might not seem restrained, but it could be a lot more violent.
And for those wanting S&M, don't waste your money on EXIT TO EDEN, this movie contains a rather shocking sadomasochistic scene with Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames (who plays the man who makes Butch take the fall). The build up to this scene contains a scene where the one person you wouldn't expect to die does. (Tip: Don't go to the bathroom without your weapon.)
Christopher Walken has just one scene in the movie, in which he explains how came the family gold watch which has gotten into his possession--and more important how it was hidden during seven years of P.O.W. captivity. Things like this explain why the movie is more that just "pulp." In a lesser movie we would have the violence, but not the humor. The stars would just be there for sake of a simple cameo, and nothing more. The plot itself might not be considered as that original. But that's not what makes this film interesting. It's what happens to the characters that make the film so great.
I could go on about more technical matters, but I wouldn't want you to miss the next screening of PULP FICTION.

STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE (SPECIAL EDITION) A film review by Michael Redman Copyright 1997 Michael Redman
**** (out of ****)
There are some images and stories so ingrained in the human psyche that they are universal throughout the history of the world. Tales of the flawed hero's quest, stories of boy versus father, fables of rescuing the captive princess: these are omnipresent in mankind's legends and religions. And they are the basis for "Star Wars".
Joseph Campbell who spent a lifetime studying myths and their commonalties in various traditions had high praise for the film. He talked about the shared themes between the science fiction movie and those beliefs that dwell deep within the collective unconsciousness.
And aside from all that, it's one hell of a film!
The Special Edition has been remastered with new effects and the inclusion of over four minutes of new footage. As cutting edge as the film was 20 years ago, director George Lucas was unsatisfied with some of the effects that were underdone due to budget considerations. Now, with megabucks in his pockets, he has gone back to polish them up.
Most of the new footage fits in seamlessly. The obvious changes are a scene where Han Solo (a very young soon-to-be-major-star Harrison Ford) encounters Jabba The Hut and the backwater Mos Eisley spaceport has become more of a busy place.
Mucking around with a classic is dangerous business, but Lucas has succeeded in improving the original. True, Jabba seems less impressive than he does in the later films (seeing him "walk" is believable, but ruins the image of the hedonistic despot), but the episode still works. The minor change when Han kills Greedo is the only failure in the new version. The visuals are clumsy and there is an unneeded change in Solo's character.
This film changed the movie industry. Spawning dozens of imitators and the search for bigger effects and even larger budgets, Lucas is indirectly responsible for most of the major movies from the past two decades. Of course that was not all good news. Personal films fell by the wayside only to begin reappearing in recent years. "Star Wars" was the harbinger of things to come.
Very few films have become such cultural icons. The only other one that I can think of that _everyone_ has seen is "The Wizard Of Oz". Both films are not talked about in terms of if one has experienced it, but, rather how often. In some ways, "Star Wars" is a reworked "Wizard". The characters match: the tin man, the large furry animal, the wicked witch of the Empire, the young adventurer searching for truth and tons of munchkins. Luke even lives on a farm with his auntie.
It's impossible to talk about "Star Wars" as just a film. It is a cultural phenomenon. The re-release of the first of the middle trilogy (nine films are planned in all, the new one opens in a few years) will be followed by "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return Of The Jedi" within the next several weeks.
Many of us saw this when it opened in the summer of 1979. If you were among those, you'll be surprised at how well it holds up. It's still an amazing spectacle.
If you have only viewed this on your VCR, you absolutely _must_ get thyself to a theater. Seeing it on a big screen is a completely different event and one that needs to be experienced.  History awaits you.

These are recommandation and a few explanation of why those item come handy.
Bowls and utensils
We travel with a 2 bowls, ustensile and a multifonction knife (with the knife please
make sure that it’s not in your carry-on bag when you take the plane). A lot of street
restaurant don’t have plates and serves food in plastic bags for takeout which make the
bowls handy. We also use them for breakfast and carry around bread and nutella/peanut
butter. And the knife, well it’s always useful even if it’s just to open wel-wrapped
item, cut cable-tie or spread nutella on a toast.
Cable-tie (Tie-wrap)
We use them to lock our luggage. It just a “feel safe move” just in case someone is
tempted to go through our luggage. (don’t tie-wrap the pocket with the knife… you may
have a problem…) We also used tie-wrap to repair a selfie stick, create a laundry line
and other DIY to get by without buying a new item.
Sunscreen
YEAH! I know it seem weird to have it here, but you don’t really find affordable
sunscreen in Asia…. Places that do sell this item sells it for a very crazy price.  We used 60-50 sunscreen and got sunburned once or twice.
Anything to goes on your face or skin
Any product that you use in your daily routine on your face or skin, like face cream,
exfoliant or moisturizing cream. You will find some in Asia but the will have whitening
product in them…. Even the deodorant have whitening in them. It’s hard to find something
without whitening product.
Pills
Yes, you can find pharmacy in Asia that have a variety of pills that are more or less
the same from the one you can find in North America. EXCEPT(ADVIL) for ibuprofen, bring
some, they are a prescription medication in most Asian country. Also if you have
heartburn problem like me, bring a lot of zantac, gaviscon or other brand, they do have
some in here, but they are mostly liquid… It not my cup of tea to drink a chalk like
beverage. We also pack decongestant, sleeping pills ( helps with the flight and the jet
lag) and anti allergy pills. With that, we were able to cover any minor issue we could
have. You don’t need a full bottle of each, but a small amount of each is more than
enough depending on the length of your stay.
Electronic
Most important, international-adapters! WE use this adapter and then we use a 6-foot
long multi plug that serves as our extension too. That way we only need one adapter but
we can plug 2-3 charger on it…it’s a bit heavier, but you don’t need a charging
schedule… Since we travel with our computer to watch movies, we also brought one HDMI
cable to plug the computer in the TV of the hotels, and we bring a wireless bluetooth
speaker (that we actually connect with AUX cable to our computer for movies). With that
don’t forget your phone charger and your earphone and you are good to go!
Towels
Most of the time hotels will provide you some towels in the room, but if you want to go
to the beach or if you go to lesser clean hotels, it’s good to have one. Having your own
towels is a life saver. We use microfiber towels, they are compact so they don’t take
too much space in your bag and they dry very fast.

LADY IN THE BOX A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2001 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ** 1/2
In Christian Otjen's film noir, LADY IN THE BOX, Jerry (Darren Burrows, "Northern Exposure") has a problem. He just earned $500 from a stranger named Doug (Mark Sheppard) for dumping a trunk into the lake. When Jerry gets back to his apartment, he finds blood stains everywhere and hair with scalp attached on his kitchen floor. Since his girlfriend is nowhere to be found, you can guess what he assumes was in the heavy trunk. After all, the movie isn't titled BRICKS IN THE BOX.
The fear on Jerry's face is palpable.  Confirming Jerry's fears, Doug comes back with some frightening demands. From there, it's one twist and turn after another. The performances by the three guys are quite good, but the story suffers from having been told so often. One key revelation is too easily guessed, and the movie has trouble with its last act. The final twist, however, is devilishly fun.
LADY IN THE BOX runs 1:44. It is not rated but would be an R for violence and language and would be acceptable for most teenagers.

Grow House / Royal House Co.
- Curated by Paula Pintos

Text description provided by the architects. In recent years, our lives have been diversified and we are looking for a new way of living. We focused on two points: “Free and open skeleton design” and “DIY for residents”, which correspond to diverse lifestyles.
First, a wooden one-story house characterizes this house with a large roof like an old private house with a steep roof with a ceiling height of 8m. We focused on the variability of this large space and made it a pattern so that it could be used in various living spaces. The structure is a wooden house with a truss roof. Since the truss structure is manufactured in the factory, various roof designs can be created. Truss structure opens up possibilities for wooden design.
The truss structure can also be used for DIY. Change the truss to storage, change to the partitioned. We are thinking so that amateurs can create it. And, I have an image of Japanese gassho style Design (thatched-roof house) Gassho style roofs are rebuilt once every decades. Neighbors gather to help change the roof. I want to revive the spirit of helping each other. And in order to take over the gassho style system, the truss structure system is highly possible.


creating the DS_D6 board¶
the DS_D6 board¶
Note: the board is the smart watch
After adapting an existing board, why not create your own?
$ cd ~/zephyrproject/zephyr/boards/arm (nordic nrf52832 is an arm processor)
this directory contains all the arm boards, you could copy one, and rename all the references.
In this github repo, an example ds_d6 directory is provided.
Put it under ..../boards/arm.
Should be usable afterwards.
the DS6 watch does not contain an external crystal to generate 32Khz, so we need to adapt the config
$ vi ds_d6_defconfig
verify if this line is contained : CONFIG_CLOCK_CONTROL_NRF_K32SRC_SYNTH=y
and finally build your board (ds_d6)

I've got a bit of depression, anxiety, etc.., and I'm also interested in recreationals/entheogens, so I decided to give valerian a try as a sleep aid/anxiety cure, kava being fun, but leaving me with withdrawal, and melatonin having the tendency to leave me knocked out the next day (therapeutic doses of melatonin vary widely for me, and they don't often convince me to sleep - I just stay up through the active period and leave my biological clock completely fucked..)... but anyhow, I'm supposed to be talking about valerian.
I started taking a capsule at night a week ago, and the first day or two sucked - It worked well at night, but the next morning I would wake up feeling bent, something like a cross between marijuana and valium - overly relaxed, and my short term memory was gone. For some reason, I decided to keep up with it, even though I felt like true hell... well, lo and behold, after that day, everything has been fine, I've been a bit more relaxed and tend to fall asleep at a 'reasonable' time (usually a bit early, actually)... as for dream potentiation, I thought melatonin dreams sucked, but valerian dreams are worse - seems like my brain runs through all the situations and anxieties that the valerian has let me ignore while conscious... although there's barely any memory of them after I awake.
I decided to get a better idea of the dosing curve, so I tried two capsules two nights ago, and then 3 last night... (recommended dose is 1-2 caps)... 2 seemed to be a bit more effective but for a bit more loginess in the morning, but 3 seem to have left me with a big headache now that they've worn off. I'm guessing this probably has a minor withdrawal syndrome, like kava, so if you're taking two caps a day and you're about to run out, I'd say that you'd want to move down to taking one cap a day to avoid any shock to your system when you stop taking it... I've also heard rumors that the actives are related to valium, so drinking while taking it is probably a bad idea (not that mixing tranquilizers/depressants is ever a really good idea..)
Synopsis: Not very recreational, pretty good as a therapeutic, if you can stomach the odor, and if you're using it therapeutically, don't give up if you get side effects during the first two days as I did.

Don't Worry, Your Marvel Movies Aren't Stopping Anytime Soon
by Germain LussierThis summer, Marvel Studios announced titles for all its movies coming out through 2021. A few months later, we found out what movie was coming out in May 2022. At that point, the last movie on the studio’s schedule was slated for July of that year. Now, it goes much further than that.
Disney just announced a ton of new release dates, almost all of which are just placeholder “Untitled” films. Most are labelled as Fox movies. But scattered in the huge list are five new Marvel Studios movies: one more in 2022, and then four in 2023.
So, yeah, those Marvel Studios movies aren’t stopping anytime soon.
Here’s the full list of what’s coming to theatres (read more about the Disney+ stuff here) from Marvel Studios, for 2020 and beyond:
- May 1, 2020: Black Widow
- November 6, 2020: The Eternals
- February 12, 2021: Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
- May 7, 2021: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
- November 5, 2021: Thor: Love and Thunder
- February 18, 2022: Untitled
- May 5, 2022: Black Panther 2
- July 29, 2022: Untitled
- Oct. 7, 2022: Untitled
- Feb. 17, 2023: Untitled
- May 5, 2023: Untitled
- July 28, 2023: Untitled
- Nov. 3, 2023: Untitled
Those last five are the new ones, and they could be anything, from titles we already know are in the works—like Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Captain Marvel 3, Ant-Man 3, or Blade—to maybe even some Fox stuff, like X-Men, Fantastic Four, or Deadpool. And no, you aren’t going crazy; as of now, we’re getting four Marvel Studios movies in 2022 and four more in 2023. That’s on top of all the Disney+ stuff coming a little before that. Marvel Studios isn’t going anywhere—in fact, it’s busier than ever.

Today the children and I spent a beautiful autumn day out with some lovely friends. The sun was again smiling upon us (such a treat after months of hideous weather). We went to Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick, Victoria. My friend and I spent the first half hour watching the girls playing around the wishing well as you enter the gardens. We could hear the girls discussing how they could possibly get the money from the well to make a wish. My friend mentioned to them that if they took the money, then someone else's wish wouldn't come true. That got them thinking. I didn't hear what Scarlett and her friend wanted to wish for, but Tenneille wished she could have a baby dragon! Of course I had absolutely no change on me for them to throw in the wishing well, so we will have to see if wishes still come true, regardless of payment.
We spent the rest of the afternoon in the playground. I think Jairah may have worn off a layer on the slides! I was a great day out, even if I did get a little sunburn (opps) and photos were few. Oh but I do love autumn and little people wishes. Jacinta x

Abstract: We examine the use of hidden Markov and hidden semi-Markov models for automatically segmenting an electrocardiogram waveform into its constituent waveform features. An undecimated wavelet transform is used to generate an overcomplete representation of the signal that is more appropriate for subsequent modelling. We show that the state durations implicit in a standard hidden Markov model are ill-suited to those of real ECG features, and we investigate the use of hidden semi-Markov models for improved state duration modelling. 1

Mercury
The closest planet to the sun,
Mercury is only a bit larger than Earth's moon.
Its day side is scorched by the sun and
can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius),
but on the night side, temperatures drop
to hundreds of degrees below freezing.
Mercury has virtually no atmosphere to absorb meteor impacts,
so its surface is pockmarked with craters,
just like the moon.
Over its four-year mission,
NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft has revealed views of the planet
that have challenged astronomers' expectations.
Diameter: 3,031 miles (4,878 km)
Orbit: 88 Earth days
Day: 58.6 Earth days


There are lots of different▀ kinds of fruit - there are over 500 varieties of banana alone. By the time we add the countless types of apples, oranges, and other well-known fruit, we are faced with thousands of choices.
