Pay It Forward
The concept of "Pay It Forward" is a simple plan developed by a 12-year-old boy to change the world. You'd think that would be more than enough plot for a major motion picture to work with wouldn't you? Imagine the possibilities of a movie showing how performing random acts of kindness could better the world - in the right hands it could be pretty powerful. Unfortunately this story was trusted with the wrong people who opt to make a sappy tearjerker instead of a poignant message.
This movie wins the First Annual "'American Beauty' Award for How Many Over-the-top plot points, characteristics and trite scenes you can Put in One Movie And Still Try to Market It As a Thematic Drama." Okay, that was kind of a mouthful, but I'll elaborate. "Pay It Forward" is about a young boy named Trevor McKinney living in a trailer park in the hills overlooking Las Vegas with his recovering alcoholic mother Arlene. Trevor is an over-achiever who takes everything literally and is easily discouraged when he fails or when things go wrong. He attends a blue-collar middle school somewhere in the outskirts of the city where even 7th graders are subject to metal detectors at the doors because some are as violent as adult gang members.
One of the main influences in Trevor's life is Mr. Eugene Simonet, a slightly arrogant social studies teacher whose face is disfigured by burns. Simonet gives his class an assignment to think of an idea that could change the world. He does actually expect them to do it, he just wants to see them put in the effort. Trevor comes up with the idea of "pay it forward" in which he must help three people out in pretty big ways (something they couldn't have done without his help) and in turn they must pay the favor forward to three other people instead of just doing something nice for him.
"Pay it forward" is a great idea and one that could easily be put into practice in the real world if people were willing to give it a chance and swallow their pride. Why do we as humans think of personally helping the less fortunate as a humbling and embarrassing duty? It's one thing to write a check to charity, it's a much different thing to volunteer your time and actually perform labor in the name of kindness and goodwill. But this Hollywood we're talking about, the only way the filmmakers think they could turn this idea into a good movie is by going the melodramatic route. They'd rather appeal to our emotions instead of taking the idea seriously and making us think.
It doesn't work.
 She then proceeds to rip Mr. Simonet a new one when she finds out where Trevor got the idea. When you have a man and a woman who both have severe personal problems and meet in an awkward setting and immediately disagree it's clear they're going to fall head over heals for each other. I don't think that's too much a spoiler because this movie is just that predictable and sappy.
When we meet Arlene she's an unlikable character not only because of her personal demons with alcohol but she's just a bad mother. She's trying to protect Trevor from the cruelty of the real world but she's in total denial. She works as a part-time burlesque waitress and a part-time casino clerk always staying late and coming in early to work if she can get the time. We're told she's been known to just jump into bed with men and that she spent years with an abusive alcoholic husband. She can't understand why Trevor doesn't respect her much less like her (gee, I wonder why?). There's a scenes where the two argue and Arlene slaps Trevor and then feels guilty and shocked she did it. I can't believe the filmmakers try to pull this one over us. An alcoholic floozy mother who DOESN'T beat her kid is a lot more surprising to me.
The story is slowly-paced and the screenplay jumps all over the place between Trevor's relationship with his mother and her relationship with Mr. Simonet. At the same time there's a sub-plot involving a Los Angeles-based reporter who catches wind of "pay it forward" and tracks its roots all the way back to Trevor. There's a scene where the reporter interviews a convict who says the idea gave him all this clarity like a religious awakening. Uh huh. Anyone can just SAY they're a changed person, the film fails to fully detail this. The man let a girl go ahead of him in the emergency room but you still never believe he's about to become the next Mother Theresa of the ghetto as he claims he would be.
After the halfway point of the film the "pay it forward" concept is essentially gone and instead the film is a laboring melodrama of conflicts between the characters, most of which are blown out of proportion. Eugene and Arlene start dating but don't have much chemistry. I guess we're supposed to simply assume that they're lonely and are together because they sympathize with each other, not so because they genuinely like each other. A few more conflicts arise such as when Trevor tries to run away from home and when his father returns after a long asbsence, claims he's sober, and Eugene flips out.
There have been quite a few dramas about alcoholism in families and how it's cyclical and genetic. "Pay It Forward" uses that concept for its drama but takes it rather lightly. There's a few scenes of screaming and yelling between the characters about how screwed up their lives are but after they're done nothing has really changed.
This film was directed by Mimi Leder who also directed "Deep Impact," one of the most unapologetic tearjerkers of our time. I didn't think the level of pandering and sappiness in that movie could ever be topped but I underestimated Leder. Maybe it's not her fault for how ridiculously over-the-top the ending to this movie is, but I'd like to think one of the producers might have suggested a better way to end it. For all its philosophies and ideas about goodness and kindness in the world "Pay It Forward" can't come up with a single positive and realistic illustration of its themes and instead cops out by trying to send you home weeping.
I don't think "Pay It Forward" is going to be a hit. I think people are going to see right through it. I hate to stomp on a movie but at the end of this one so many people in the cinema were making that "tsk" sound it was like being in the cricket house at the zoo.

 It is too hard to have a board at the right time. Here is the online emulator to solve all of your Japanese board game needs.
rules
- Black moves first. The players alternate thereafter.
-
When it is their turn, a player may either pass (by announcing "pass" and performing no action) or play. A play consists of the following steps:
- Placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection
- Removing from the board any stones of their opponent's color that have no liberties.
- Removing from the board any stones of their own color that have no liberties.
- A play is illegal if it would have the effect (after all steps of the play have been completed) of creating a position that has occurred previously in the game.
- The game ends when both players have passed consecutively. The final position is the position on the board at the time the players pass consecutively.


1 You will be alloted 5000 coins at the start of the game.
2 You will be allowed to place that amount of bet which is lesser than or equals to your main balance
3 Next you have to guess the number that will be popped on the dice we role.
4 If you guess the correct Number you win and the placed bet gets doubled and added to your account.
5 If you loose you money is gone.
6 You have to play as long as your balance is not zero or you have not lost 5 bets.

Outback telescope captures Milky Way center, discovers remnants of dead stars
| Source: | International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research |
| Summary: | A radio telescope in the Western Australian outback has captured a spectacular new view of the center of the galaxy in which we live, the Milky Way. The image from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope shows what our galaxy would look like if human eyes could see radio waves. |
A radio telescope in the Western Australian outback has captured a spectacular new view of the centre of the galaxy in which we live, the Milky Way.
The image from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope shows what our galaxy would look like if human eyes could see radio waves.
Astrophysicist Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker, from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), created the images using the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Perth.
"This new view captures low-frequency radio emission from our galaxy, looking both in fine detail and at larger structures," she said.
"Our images are looking directly at the middle of the Milky Way, towards a region astronomers call the Galactic Centre."
The data for the research comes from the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey, or 'GLEAM' for short.
The survey has a resolution of two arcminutes (about the same as the human eye) and maps the sky using radio waves at frequencies between 72 and 231 MHz (FM radio is near 100 MHz).
"It's the power of this wide frequency range that makes it possible for us to disentangle different overlapping objects as we look toward the complexity of the Galactic Centre," Dr Hurley-Walker said.
"Essentially, different objects have different 'radio colours', so we can use them to work out what kind of physics is at play."
Using the images, Dr Hurley-Walker and her colleagues discovered the remnants of 27 massive stars that exploded in supernovae at the end of their lives.
These stars would have been eight or more times more massive than our Sun before their dramatic destruction thousands of years ago.
Younger and closer supernova remnants, or those in very dense environments, are easy to spot, and 295 are already known.
Unlike other instruments, the MWA can find those which are older, further away, or in very empty environments.
Dr Hurley-Walker said one of the newly-discovered supernova remnants lies in such an empty region of space, far out of the plane of our galaxy, and so despite being quite young, is also very faint.
"It's the remains of a star that died less than 9,000 years ago, meaning the explosion could have been visible to Indigenous people across Australia at that time," she said.
An expert in cultural astronomy, Associate Professor Duane Hamacher from the University of Melbourne, said some Aboriginal traditions do describe bright new stars appearing in the sky, but we don't know of any definitive traditions that describe this particular event.
"However, now that we know when and where this supernova appeared in the sky, we can collaborate with Indigenous elders to see if any of their traditions describe this cosmic event. If any exist, it would be extremely exciting," he said.
Dr Hurley-Walker said two of the supernova remnants discovered are quite unusual "orphans," found in a region of sky where there are no massive stars, which means future searches across other such regions might be more successful than astronomers expected.
Other supernova remnants discovered in the research are very old, she said.
"This is really exciting for us, because it's hard to find supernova remnants in this phase of life — they allow us to look further back in time in the Milky Way."
The MWA telescope is a precursor to the world's largest radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array, which is due to be built in Australia and South Africa from 2021.
"The MWA is perfect for finding these objects, but it is limited in its sensitivity and resolution," Dr Hurley-Walker said.
"The low-frequency part of the SKA, which will be built at the same site as the MWA, will be thousands of times more sensitive and have much better resolution, so should find the thousands of supernova remnants that formed in the last 100,000 years, even on the other side of the Milky Way."
The new images of the Galactic Centre can be viewed on the GLEAMoscope or the GLEAM app.

Building VTK with python bindings in linux (arch)
I came across VTK while building the docs for DIPY and what I needed was the python bindings.
I use arch linux so installing from pacman is simple:
But this fails to install the python bindings properly and when you try:
it throws the error:
That leaves no other way except to build VTK from source including the python wrapper, for the python version you want to use vtk in.
So here is the step by step procedure:
From vtk website download the latest source tarball. For me it is VTK-7.0.0.tar.gz then extract it:
Now configure cmake properly for building python wrappers:
This will give you an interface like: Now use your arrow keys to select the option you want to change and press enter to change value.
Toggle VTK_WRAP_PYTHON on.
Toggle VTK_WRAP_TCL on.
Change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr
Change VTK_PYTHON_VERSION to 2.7 (or the version of python you want to use vtk in)
Now press [c] to configure
Then press [g] to generate and exit
Note: Sometimes you need to press c and g again.
Now run:
This will create a directory: Wrapping/Python
Now install the python bindings:
Hopefully that should install vtk properly.
To check, in python run:
This should give something like:
‘/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vtk/init.pyc’

PSYCHO RATING: 6 / 10 --> Barely recommendable
For more reviews and trivia, go to http://surf.to/joblo
Thirty-eight years after the original release of Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller PSYCHO, director Gus Van Sant, best known for his Oscar nominated film GOOD WILL HUNTING (7.5/10), takes on the task of recreating an exact "replica" of the film, with up-to-date actors, color film stock instead of black & white, and a few minor changes.
PLOT: Marion Crane decides to rob $400,000 from her employer in order to help her lover get out of debt. She leaves town, but unexpectedly gets caught in a rainstorm, and must stop off at the Bates Motel for a night. This is where she meets Norman Bates, the owner of said establishment. Norman operates the motel and takes care of his ill mother. They talk and eat, after which she goes off to take a shower. Thrilling moments ensue, as a private detective, Marion's lover and sister all get involved in a mystery.
CRITIQUE: Slow, well-manufactured film with solid performances by its leads, doesn't have enough tension to be qualified a real thriller, and basically makes you question its remake in the first place. This film has some good moments, many long-winded scenes, an excellent eye for style and great performances by actors who basically had to recreate characters that were considered historical in the eyes of many movie-goers. The one actor who stood out from the pack was definitely the rising star of the year, Vince Vaughn, who took Anthony Perkins' superb original performance, and added his own macabre touch of surrealism.
The directing of this film was basically a "shot-for-shot" remake of the original, and therein, remained extremely stylish and original, in classic Hitchcock style. Van Sant did take some initiative in regards to little changes here and there, but on the whole, the film still played like it could have been set in the 50's or 60's. Having said that, the film's main peg of disinterest for me was its slow pace and even slower build-up. I guess I have just gotten used to the greater quantity of thrills in the thrillers of nowaday, and just didn't appreciate the snails pace build-up of this story in respect to its end result.
Having said that, this film might be better appreciated by those who never saw the original, since they would not be privy to the film's basic story line and twist, allowing for a greater interest in the mystery of the whole thing. All in all, the film does offer some great performances by its actors, with Vaughn offering another standout performance, some stylish cinematography, but ultimately runs at too slow a pace, without offering enough real thrills, to keep me interested. I think my good friend The Arrow said it best when he turned to me at the end of this film and said "Unnecessary. Why not re-release the original instead of this?" No real improvement, no real surprises, just a recreation of a film that played very well in its original state in the 60's, but suffers somewhat in its imitation form of the 90's.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: This new PSYCHO was shot at the same studio as the original and used the same compressed six-week schedule. The film cost $20 million compared to the $800,000 that Hitchcock spent on the original in 1960. Director Gus Van Sant also makes a cameo in the film during the same scene that Hitchcock himself made an appearance over 30 years ago. He also thanks fellow director John Woo for the use of his "kitchen knife" in the end credits of this film, and was one of the executive producers on the 1995 film KIDS (8/10). Nicole Kidman turned down the role that eventually went to Anne Heche in this picture. The bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea, makes an appearance in this film as Viggo Mortensen's co-worker. He also played a part in Gus Van Sant's classic pic MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO (7.5/10), which starred Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix, and rode in the ambulance alongside River, on the night that he died from a drug overdose. His real name is Michael Balzary, and he was born in Australia. Vince Vaughn stands 6"5. When asked about the last time that he cried, Vince offered this little anecdote: "When I was a small, small child, Elvis was passing through Evanston, getting a hamburger. And he bought me and my mama one. And he said, "Son, you've got a twinkle in your eye, don't let anybody tell you that you can't do this. And that was the last time I cried." Vaughn's big break came when he appeared in a nationally televised Chevrolet commercial in 1989. Steven Spielberg was impressed with Vaughn's performance in SWINGERS (8.5/10), after he saw a tape of the film when the film's producers approached him about the possibility of using the theme music from JAWS (7.5/10) for a scene in which Vaughn's Trent cozies up to an unsuspecting young woman at a party.  Julianne Moore's real name is Julie Anne Smith. Actress Rita Wilson, who plays the other secretary in this film, is Tom Hanks' wife in real life.

This problems asks, given an array of integers as input, to produce another array where each value in the resulting is the product of every element from the input array except the one at the current index. Let’s break that down with some more examples.
If we’re given the array [6, 9, 1, 4, 8]
, then our function
should produce an array of the same length, where the value at index 0
should be the product of every element except the value at index
0. So index 0 of our result array should be:
[9*1*4*8, ... ] <- No 6 since 6 is the value at index 0 in the input array
In other words, every index in our result array should be the product of every array element except the value at the same index in the input array. So then the other values in the result array would be:
[288, 6*1*4*8, 6*9*4*8, 6*9*1*8, 6*9*1*4]
-> [288, 192, 1728, 432, 216]
Ok, what about edge cases? Well, what if we’re handed an empty array? We
should probably just return an empty list then. What about a one element
array? There are no other values to multiply by in that case. Let’s just
return the input array then. Once we have an array of at least length two,
then we should be able to handle that array adequately. Let’s make sure
with the following two-element array: [66, 4]
.
With such an input array, the array our function should return would be:
[4*1, 66*1] -> [4, 66]
In the case of a two-element array, since there are no other elements for each array element to be multiplied by, we’ll make do by multiplying each element by the multiplicative identity 1. This has the same result as reversing the two-element array.
One straightforward idea that comes to mind could be to use nested loops, an outer loop for looping through all the array elements to keep track of which element to not multiply by, with an inner loop that performs the multiplication of each element. In pseudocode:
def product_of_all_others(arr):
result = []
outer loop that keeps track of which element we don't want to multiply
inner loop performs the multiplication
product = 1
if inner loop index matches outer loop index
don't multiply by this value
otherwise, multiply this value to product
add product to our result array
return result
This implementation exhibits O(n^2) runtime, since we’re looping over every element as many times as there are elements in the array. The best we can probably do as far as runtime is concerned is linear, since there’s no way around touching every array element at least once, since we’ll have to do that to calculate the running products.
Are there any clues in the problem that we could make use of? Since this problem is asking us to not include a particular value, could we perhaps frame the problem slightly differently? After all, in order to not include some element, we could just as well include it and then take it away. How do we reverse multiplication? Division! Well, wouldn’t the value that we would need at every index be the same as the total product of every element in the array, but divided by element at that index?
Here’s an idea: what if we calculated the total product of the entire array, and then looped through our array, dividing the total product by the current array element to get the product of every array element except the value at the current index. In pseudocode, that might look like this:
def product_of_all_others(arr):
calculate the total product of every array element
loop through our array
divide the total product by the current array element
add this product to a result array
return the result array
That seems promising. It would be a linear solution, though we’d have to perform two passes over the data, the first time to calculate the total product, and the second time to divide the total product by each array element. Nonetheless, that is a linear solution!
In python, that might look like the following:
# functools is the module that includes the `reduce` function
import functools
def product_of_all_others(arr):
# use reduce to calculate the total product
total_product = reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, arr)
# return a list of total_product divided by every arr element
return [total_product // x for x in arr]
Short and sweet!
As a follow up, think about how you would solve this problem if division was disallowed.


Subject: Adding sha1 hashed passwords
To: None<EMAIL_ADDRESS>From: Simon J. Gerraty<EMAIL_ADDRESS>List: tech-userlevel
Date: 05/29/2004 00:47:50
I'm adding support for crypt_sha1()
I've some questions before posting patches...
Backround:
A sha1 hashed passwd looks like:
$sha1$<iterations>$<salt>$<digest>
where
<iterations> is the number of times hmac_sha1 is applied to the
salt using the password as key. The value can be controlled via
passwd.conf.
<salt> can be up to 64 random bytes, but pwd_gensalt only uses 8.
<digest> is the final hmac result. The actual algoritm used is
essentially PBKDF1 from RFC 2898 (though using hmac_sha1 rather than
SHA1 directly), and reflects suggestions from several developers.
Eg. $sha1$8362$DSm2QUfl$O2GMtJPUwCqPDW04wpA.QLbv.kDbVlDb
Questions...
I notice that libcrypt uses __md5crypt() rather than the name
crypt_md5() used in FreeBSD (where I presume the routine originated).
I'm wondering if there's a reason to change the name of crypt_sha1 to
__sha1crypt for NetBSD or wether the current name is ok.
I extracted the static to64 from md5crypt.c and put it in its
own .c file as crypt_to64 and it is now used by __md5crypt, crypt_sha1
and pwd_gensalt. Again, is there a reason the name should be
different?
Also, should hmac_sha1 be added to libcrypt or libc (or both?)
I've currently added it to both - to make my testing easier.
FWIW the hmac implementation is very simple - based on RFC 2104 and
includes unit tests for hmac_sha1 and hmac_md5.
Finally, does adding crypt_sha1 require bumping the version of
libcrypt.so ?
Thanks

Pairing and Feedback
Friday, October 17th, 2014
For this week's cultural blog entry, I decided to write an entry with regards to pair programming and feedback. Pair programming is where you work through a programming challenge with a partner. This can be done remotely and serves many purposes including becoming familiar with working with others while coding, like some people may do in the workplace. At Dev Bootcamp there are specific roles that are encouraged for each person in the pair. These roles include a driver and a navigator. The driver deals with the specific line of code that's being worked on and I refer to the responsibilities of this person as being on the micro-level. The navigator deals with how that line of code fits in the scheme of the whole program and guides the driver at the macro-level. After each of these sessions, partners give each other feedback.
While pairing with partners various emotions are experienced. Numerous times during a pairing session, my partner has shared a tip or a new perspective that has helped me personally. Whether it be a sublime shortcut or a new way to solve the problem that may not have occured ot me. This is a great way to learn on the job and gain new abilities. After each pair we are encouraged to give the pair feedback.
This satisfaction of learning is also reflected in the feedback that I've given and received. When someone gives feedback that offers an improvement sometimes it's easy to let it go but after time if you try to incorporate that feedback into your next pairing session then it can be very rewarding. Feedback is a sensitive topic for many people so giving constructive feedback can be beneficial to both the giver and the receiver of the feedback. Feedback is crucial and how one receives it is maybe even more important then how one gives it. If you want to improve yourself you need to be able to receive feedback. If you act negatively or get upset, you won't hear or understand the feedback, plus the person who gave it will be less likely to give you feedback in the future. Here's my point: be careful with your feedback, make sure it's actionable, specific and kind and you will go far, and as a receiver, try not to be too sensitive about it. Give it a try!

IHC admits petition seeking contempt proceedings against PM
by News DeskThe Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday admitted a petition seeking contempt of court proceedings against Prime Minister Imran Khan over a recent “anti-judiciary” speech.
Advocate Samiullah had moved the court against the premier over his November 18 speech. He had contended that the premier had maligned the judiciary in his speech, which amounted to contempt of court. He also attached the relevant part of the speech as evidence.
IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah will hear the petition on Tuesday.
A similar petition was filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) by a citizen named Tahir Maqsood, in which he requested the court to initiate contempt of court proceedings against the prime minister.
The citizen’s counsel, Faizan Naseer Chohan, contended that the premier had tried to make cases pending against opposition leaders prejudiced by delivering a speech.
To establish maintainability of his petition, the petitioner referred to conviction of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Talal Chaudhry and Nehal Hashmi by the Supreme Court (SC) for their anti-judiciary speeches.
He asked the court to summon PM Imran in person, disqualify him and order the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to de-notify him as member of the National Assembly (NA).

'Frustrated' Van Rooyen eager to go low at Sun City
by Lynn Butler - Sport24Sun City - Erik van Rooyen revealed his disappointment despite finishing under par following his third round at the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Saturday.
The 29-year-old posted a 2-under par 70 to sit T17 at 3-under par heading into the final round.
LIVE | Nedbank Golf Challenge - Round 3
Van Rooyen had a flawless front nine and failed to drop a shot as he managed to score three birdies.
However, the South African was left frustrated as he produced three bogeys and two birdies on the back nine.
"It's just been that kind of week for me so far, some really good stuff but I'm a bit disappointed and frustrated," Van Rooyen told Sport24 on Saturday.
"I would've loved to shoot a few under par on the back nine to be a bit closer but I can still go and shoot low tomorrow."
On Saturday at the Gary Player Country Club, no golfer signed a bogey-free round and Van Rooyen admitted that it is a really tough golf course.
"It's just a really tough golf course, it doesn't give you much. You have to hit it really well to make birdies that's why you can tell the leaders haven't really run away with it," he said.
Despite being a bit lower down the leaderboard, Van Rooyen admitted that his plan for Sunday's final round will be birdies and more birdies.
"I don't know what the guys ahead are going to do, they might be extremely nervous and mess that up or they might play really well. But I can't focus on that I just got to make as many birdies as I can," he said.
"It's a frustrating one but there's more golf to be played."
Van Rooyen has already booked his spot for next week's European Tour final, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Review by Eric Robinette<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Turmoil has engulfed the movie-going public. The worth of "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" is in dispute.
Hoping to resolve the matter with a sensible, clear-eyed review, the errant knight, Sir Phil M. Critic, endeavored to offer his own opinion, even if he was a little late with it, to help settle the conflict.
As far as Sir Critic could see, it was like a period of civil war amongst the moviegoers. A handful blindly loved the movie, having been starved of a "Star Wars" film for 16 years. Another surly and disgruntled group tried to score a victory against what they called "The evil Lucasfilm empire" by leveling accusations of racism at the film. A third large and unruly group complained that the movie was all flash and fire, with no true sense of heart or emotion
Sir Critic immediately dismissed the racism claims of the surly group, believing its arguments had enough foolishness to embarrass an entire profession. Alarmed by the group's cynical tone, the knight branded them as the sort of charlatans who like to spend time looking for messages that simply did not exist, with their real purpose being to draw attention to themselves.
"What utter nonsense!" the knight declared. The Trade Federation aliens speak in a Japanese accent, I believe, because this is homage to the Japanese films of Akira Kurosawa, who inspired the "Star Wars" series in the first place. As for the sidekick Jar Jar Binks' Jamaican overtones, that is because this is the accent that the voice actor, Ahmed Best, actually uses."
Evading the dreaded racist claims, Sir Critic tried to begin his proper review. However, the other critics, obsessed with shooting the film down, dispatched hundreds of angry barbs at the film, in particular assailing the sidekick character of Jar-Jar, whom they labeled as a constant nuisance.
Sir Critic conceded that Jar-Jar's pidgin English, which sounded like a warped form of Pig Latin, was off-putting and unnecessary, but aside from that, he found the character amusing in the role of a clumsy oaf, which gave the film many lighthearted moments of humor.
The unruly group then changed tactics, focusing on a new, pointed attack even more powerful than their first. They argued the film was nothing more than an overstuffed visual feast, with plenty to look at, but little to care about and no depth of character or storytelling to be found.
Sir Critic had to concede this argument, but only up to a point. He agreed that the movie was basically two-hours plus of setup for the darker chapters in the saga that were to follow, and this particular episode had little in the way of emotional heft.
Even so, Sir Critic predicted that when the entire series was completed, "The Phantom Menace" would fit in nicely with the entire series. He found it especially interesting that Obi-Wan Kenobi trained Anakin when he was an inexperienced Jedi, which makes for some ominous foreshadowing.
"But do not forget the most important point," Sir Critic advised the others. "When all is said and done, the most important question is 'Was the film an entertaining, exciting time at the theater?' My answer is yes, very much so. 'The Phantom Menace,' is, like the other films, an adventure story at heart. As an adventure, it succeeds grandly with great set pieces like the pod race and the final battle with Darth Maul, which are worth the price of admission by themselves.
"Could it have been better? Yes, it could have, but no movie could possibly live up to the expectations that had built up behind it. 'The Phantom Menace' may not be the best of the series, but it has one thing in common with the other films: it is a lot of fun."

Theory
Theory
In this section, I will show how you can code a prediction model for the return of a company’s stock price based on the returns of a number of peer companies. I loosely follow the same approach as in Baker and Gelbach (2020). In that paper, peer firms are identified based on the SIC code in the Compustat data which indicates what the industry is of the firm’s primary product.
We are using the tidymodel
package for the application and I will follow the introduction to tidymodels. The advantage of the tidymodels approach is that you can follow a very similar workflow for other machine learning methods than the one I will be showing here.
To understand the machine learning approach that we are using, I need to start of with some theory. The fundamental idea is that we want to avoid overfitting in the data that we have, so that when we use the model to predict on new data we still have good predictions. This means that when we estimate our model we do not want to have a model that fits the data as good as possible. We want to regularize the parameters in the model so that we do not get perfect fit but better out-of-sample predictions. For instance, if we use 200 trading days and have 200 peer firms, we can perfectly predict within the sample of 200 days 1 but there are no guarantee that we will get good predictions from that model out-of-sample (i.e. after the earnings announcement).
For the linear model to predict stock returns based on peers, we will use a the elastic net regularizer to bias the estimates within the sample data to make it more likely that the linear model will give good predictions within the sample. One way to think about the linear model with peers as predictors is that we are creating a bespoke market return for each firm as a weighted average of its peers.
A regular linear model works estimates the \(\beta\)s by minimising the following equation where we minimise the sum of the squared difference between the outcome (\(y_i\)) and prediction (\(X_i \beta\)) for each observation i.
\[ \sum^N_{i=1} (y_i - X_i \beta)^2 \]
That is, we want to find estimates that give the best possible fit in the data. The regulariser puts a penalty on bigger absolute values for the \(\beta\)s to limit overfitting to the in-sample data. The estimates will now be chosen to minimise the following equation.
\[ \sum^N_{i=1} (y_i - X_i \beta)^2 + \lambda \left ( \alpha \sum^p_j \beta^2_j + (1 - \alpha) \sum^p_j |\beta_j| \right) \]
The size of the penalty is given by the parameters \(\lambda > 0\) and consists of two parts: the sum of the squared \(\beta\)s and the sum of the absolute values of the \(\beta\)s. The first term is the ridge reguliser and the second one is the LASSO regulariser. They both have been shown to have useful properties as regulisers and thus they are often used together with the weight \(1 \geq \alpha \geq 0\). With \(\alpha = 1\), we only use ridge regression and with \(\alpha = 0\), we only use the LASSO.
The final step is that we need to choose the right values for \(\lambda\) and \(\alpha\). A common approach is to use cross validation where we split the data that we have in roughly equal sized partitions or folds. For instance, you have 10 folds with each 10% of the data. With cross validation, we will use the 90% of the remaining data, use a number of different values for \(\lambda\) and \(\alpha\) to estimate \(\beta\)s and predict the 10% fold that we did not use for estimation. In other words, we use the data that we have to do a prediction task with the advantage that we can evaluate which \(\lambda\) and \(\alpha\) gives us the best predictions.
We do need a measure to evaluate the quality of the predictions. A common choice is the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) which is defined as the square root of the squared difference between the actual value of the outcome and the predictions for the outcome.
\[ \sqrt{ \frac{\sum^N_{i=1} (y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2}{N} } \]
We will use the RMSE to evaluate the predictions out-of-sample. The RMSE is similar to the first equation where we choose the \(\beta\)s to minimise the squared difference between the outcome and the fitted data in the in-sample data.

Susan Granger's review of "KEEPING THE FAITH" (Touchstone Pictures)
Cleverly timed for the Passover and Easter season, this is an amusing comedy about "The God Squad," two pious but unconventional young men of religion, directed by actor Edward Norton, who is usually associated with meaty dramas like "Primal Fear," "The People vs. Larry Flynt," "American History X" and "Fight Club." Norton also plays Father Brian Kilkenny Finn - a Roman Catholic priest. Brian's best friend since childhood is now a Jewish rabbi named Jake Schram, played by Ben Stiller. They're living near one another on New York's Upper West Side when Anna Reilly, a young woman whom they grew up with returns to the city on business. That's Jenna Elfman of "EDTV" and "Dharma & Greg." So, instead of one of the old jokes that begins, "A priest and a rabbi and a woman walk into a bar and....," this plot ignites when a priest and a rabbi both care deeply for the same woman. And this is no ordinary woman. She's a high-powered, cell phone-addicted workaholic who firmly believes that with her help God could have created the world in just three days, not seven. But she's certainly not the "nice Jewish girl" whom the synagogue elders had envisioned for their rabbi. And what about the priest's vow of celibacy? The supporting cast is terrific: Anne Bancroft as Jake's mother, Eli Wallach as an open-minded rabbi, and Milos Forman as a compassionate priest. It's just too bad that first-time director Norton didn't call "cut" more often when actor Norton's scenes went on too long and that Stuart Blumberg's utterly predictable script gets a bit verbose, but on the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Keeping the Faith" is a frothy, feel-good 7. In an age of cynicism, it's an amiable, old-fashioned romantic comedy, a light-hearted date movie.

1. R
Why R? Because all the data needs to be analyzed.
Image courtesy of RStudio
R is a powerful statistical language. It's used for various statistical studies and is a open-source free language that competes with commercial ones like SPSS and SASS.
2. Python
Why Python? Because it's one of the hottest programming languages.
Image courtesy to Biopython
Python is a very powerful programming language with many libraries relevant to bioinformatics, such as biopython.
3. Perl
Why Perl? What biologists used to use.
Image courtesy to 88proof
Perl has been really the go-to language for computer programming in bioinformatics. Though obsolete in several other languages, it is still widely used in bioinformatics, and it's certainly one of the go-to languages even today for bioinformatics/computational biology.
4. Java
Why Java? It's powerful and what many call, "industry standard" for companies.
Image courtesy of Bioinformatics Made Simple
Java shouldn't need an explanation; after all, it is a very powerful language that has been basis of many softwares, websites, and app developments (i.e. Android). Its application to bioinformatics/computational biology is that for many complex modeling and predictions, it makes sense to rely on something strong, such as Java or C.
5. Go
Why Go? It's being embraced by Google, so it may become big in the future...
Image courtesy to The Little Go Book
Google's Go is a rather language in the recent list, but it is something in between Python and Java and other languages. It is memory efficient, and still has programming concepts absent in Python. Interestingly, it is actually the course that Carnegie Mellon's MS in Bioinformatics uses to teach people how to program.

Police arraign 2 minors, 1 man for allegedly stealing soft drinks worth N48,000
by NANThe police on Tuesday arraigned two minors and a 22-year-old man, Muhammad Mustapha at the Karu Grade I Area Court, Abuja for allegedly stealing soft drinks worth N48,000.
The police charged the defendants with three counts of joint acts, criminal trespass and theft.
They, however, denied committing the offence.
The Prosecution Counsel, Vincent Osuji, told the court that the complainant, Mrs Mary Ogobuegu, reported the matter at the Karu Police Station on Nov 9.
“Ogobuegwu alleged that the defendants conspired among themselves, trespassed into her business premises and stole some soft drinks.
“The drinks include 16 packs of pet gold drink, five packets of mama Big Coke, Energy drinks and two packs of 5alive, all valued at N48,000.
“During (the) police investigation, some of the stolen drinks were recovered,” Osuji said.
He said the offence contravened the provisions of sections 79, 348 and 287 of the Penal Code.
The Judge, Abdullahi Jibrin, ordered the defendants to produce one surety each who must be a civil servant and adjourned the case until Nov. 27 for hearing.
