The Declining Marginal Value of Crazy
Showmanship, lack of touch with reality, and a palpable handle on the grievance and unrestrained self-assertion that is at the center of modern Republican base politics have made Trump, for now, almost impossible to outdo in a crowded field.


"Great Expectations"
Reviewed by Eric Grossman Copyright Eric Grossman 1998
`Great Expectations,' which stars Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Bancroft, takes Dickens' classic tale and presents it in a new milieu. The names Pip and Havisham have been changed to Finn and Dinsmoor, and the story now takes place in Florida, but the theme is the same.
A young boy named Finn, who loves to paint, is lured into the world of a rich, eccentric and vengeful old woman, Ms. Dinsmoor (Bancroft) and her niece, Estella. Ms. Dinsmoor, whose fiancÚ left her on their wedding day, has sworn revenge against all men and Estella is her weapon. Trained since early childhood, the young girl knows every trick to manipulating a boy's heart and despite a warning from Ms Dinsmoor that she'll break his heart, Finn falls for her.
As Finn grows older (now played by Hawke), he still makes his way once a week to Ms. Dinsmoor's decrepit mansion so that he can dance with Estella, now played by Paltrow. Finn continues to paint while Estella keeps playing mind games with him, leading him on and then giving him the cold shoulder until one day, she leaves for Europe. Finn, heartbroken, gives up art and becomes a fisherman until one day, a lawyer mysteriously shows up and grants him all of his wishes: an art show, money, and a plane ticket to New York, where Estella now resides.
Once in New York, Finn finds that the woman he is infatuated with has grown worldlier and more dangerous, but his love for her only increases the more unobtainable she becomes. He struggles to become her equal in the hopes that perhaps then, he may finally have her.
As directed by Alfonso Cuaron, this version of `Great Expectations' is filled with lush cinematography and production design. Unlike the David Lean version, which was darker and more moody, Cuaron fills his picture with enchanting Gulf Coast scenery and New York kineticism; basically, Dickens gets the MTV treatment. Hawke and Paltrow have the right look for this type of production, but there is a superficial quality to Hawke's performance, making it difficult to care about Finn as much as we should. As Estella, Paltrow is effectively icy but the real scene-stealers are Bancroft, who gives a fun and wild performance as the deranged Ms. Dinsmoor, and Robert De Niro, as the prisoner whom Finn helps escape. The best scenes in `Great Expectations' are the early ones, where young Finn has his first encounters with the prisoner, Ms. Dinsmoor and her mansion, and Estella. There is a sense of charm, mystery and danger to these moments, which is unrivaled in the later parts of the movie.
Overall, `Great Expectations' is not astonishingly good or bad. Those who feel compelled to see it because of its cast will most likely enjoy it, however, for those interested in the story, Lean's version is still the one to beat.

Friends laugh and joke in pub just hours before one is stabbed to death on walk home
The 29-year-old had got caught up in an argument with people on the back of a scrambler bike in Prescot, Merseyside
by Milo Boyd, Charlotte Hadfield, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/milo-boyd/The family of a young man stabbed to death have shared photos taken hours before he was killed as they continue to fight for justice.
Adam Ellison is pictured smiling and goofing around with his friends at the Old Mill Pub in Prescot, Merseyside, in the images.
A few short hours later he was stabbed to death as he headed home, the Liverpool Echo reported .
The 29-year-old had got caught up in an argument with people on the back of a scrambler bike while walking the streets with his three friends.
Adam was rushed to hospital but died a short time later.
Two years on from the November 4 tragedy, the killers have still not been brought to justice.
Two 17-year-old males and a 22-year-old man, all from Huyton, Merseyside, were arrested last month, and have since been released under investigation.
Adam's mum Joyce Ellison, 68, along with two sisters Nicola Moore, 48, and Joanne Evans, 44, spoke about losing Adam.
Joyce said: "He was part of our family for nearly 30 years and now we have got the rest of our lives without him. It's destroyed us.
"We are a very close family and it has affected everyone.
"You get your good days and your bad days, sometimes it's like a rollercoaster. You start laughing over something and then you feel as though you shouldn't be laughing because he's not here with us and I'm finding something funny.
"I wouldn't wish it on anybody."
Adam's older sister Nicola said that younger members of the family have been deeply affected by his death.
"It's two years but it doesn't seem that long at all. It seems like weeks," she said.
"The impact has been horrendous. It's had a ripple effect on the family and the children in the family and we still have trauma and therapy because of that night and what we saw.
"We miss him so much, he was a massive part of our family and he was loved by everybody. We miss him everyday."
Nicola went on to reminisce about her brother, who was "always making people laugh" and was "the life and soul of the party."

Joanne explained why the family were releasing the new photos of Adam.
"I want the photos to show people how Adam was just being himself that night, when he went out with his friends and his family," she said.
"I want someone to look into his eyes and realise how beautiful a person he was and to think I can't stand knowing something any more and not coming forward."
Joyce urged anyone with any information about the killers to come forward.
She added: "You've got your whole life ahead of you but Adam hasn't.
"I'm angry. I've gone through different stages but angry that these people are still walking around.
"What would their mum think if it was her son that was murdered? She'd want someone to speak to the police then.
"The family are not doing him any favours and he's got to face up to what he's done, we want justice."
Joanne added: "Come forward because look at my mum. How can they sleep of a night knowing a little bit of information? They might be scared but there's no reason to be scared."
Detective Chief Inspector John Middleton, of Merseyside Police, described the attack and the impact it has had on the family.
“This was a senseless assault which brutally cut short the life of an innocent young man who had everything to look forward to," he said.
"His family have been left devastated by their loss and they still have no answers to why this horrific incident took place.
“But I want those responsible to be under no illusion. We have not given up. They will always be looking over their shoulder because we will not stop until we catch them and bring them to justice.
"I am certainly convinced that people who were in the Old Mill Pub that night will know who was riding that group of motorcycles that circulated around the pub and that were looking inside the pub.

Setting the Scene
Population
Population Estimates
and Projections
Mid-2017 Estimates
The latest ONS population estimates (ONS 2018f) are for mid-2017, and show that Blackburn with Darwen had a total of 148,772 residents (an increase of 310 since mid-2016). In Figure 1 below, the England age structure is superimposed for comparison. This illustrates that Blackburn with Darwen has a much younger age profile than average. 28.5% of its population is aged under 20, which is the 6th highest proportion in England.
Population Projections
The latest population projections (ONS 2018j) are still based on the population estimates for mid-2016, and look ahead to 2041. For Blackburn with Darwen overall, they predict a slow, almost imperceptible fall in population (Figure 2). However, the 65+ age-group (shown in green) is expected to rise by approximately 8,300 over the period - ie. by almost 40%. The 85+ group in particular is projected to rise by over 80%, from approximately 2400 to 4400.2011 Census Data
Ethnicity
The 2011 Census (Nomis 2018) is still our best source of data on the ethnic breakdown of the borough’s population, and the relationship between ethnic group and other social characteristics. The proportion of Blackburn with Darwen residents who described themselves as Indian or Pakistani are the 11th highest and the 6th highest respectively of any local authority in England.
The main ethnic groups have markedly different age profiles from each other (Figure 4, and are represented in varying concentrations across the borough (Figure 5).
Religion
At the 2011 Census, 77,599 Blackburn with Darwen residents (52.6%) identified themselves as Christian, and 39,817 (27.0%) as Muslim. 13.8% had no religion, and 5.6% did not answer the question. Religion and ethnicity are closely interlinked, with the vast majority of Christians in the borough being White, and almost all Muslims being Indian, Pakistani or members of other minority ethnic groups (Figure 6).Language
For the first time, the 2011 Census asked about the ‘main language’ of everybody aged 3 or above. Over 86% of Blackburn with Darwen residents had English as their main language, but a multitude of other languages were also represented:However, it is important to appreciate that many of those with a main language other than English nevertheless speak English ‘well’ or ‘very well’. Only 973 people in the borough could not speak it at all.
Deprivation
The 2015 Index of Mutiple Deprivation (MHCLG 2015) is still in use in 2018 (but expected to be replaced in Summer 2019). It is based on 37 indicators, mostly dating from around 2012/13.
Deprivation at the Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is calculated for small neighbourhoods known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). Figure 9 shows IMD 2015 mapped for Blackburn with Darwen’s 91 LSOAs. Nearly half (45 out of 91, or 49%) of the Borough’s LSOAs are in the worst two national deciles. By definition, each national decile accounts for 10% of all the LSOAs in England, so Blackburn with Darwen has well over its ‘fair share’ of deprived LSOAs.Deprivation at the Borough level
There are various ways of summarising deprivation at the borough level. For example, the ‘Rank of Average Score’ method ranks authorities according to the average IMD score of their LSOAs. On that basis, Blackburn with Darwen ranks as 15th most deprived in 2015.
However, the summary indicator which is now most widely quoted is the proportion of LSOAs in the borough falling within the 10% most deprived in England (i.e. in National Decile 1). In Blackburn with Darwen, that proportion was 31% in 2015, which makes it the 12th most deprived borough.
Destitution
‘Destitution’ is a strong word, but the Joseph Rowntree Foundation estimates that over 1.5 million people in the UK were affected in this way at some point during 2017 (JRF 2018). It defines ‘destitution’ as being on an extremely low income, and/or unable to afford two or more of the listed essentials over the past month:
- Shelter (had slept rough for 1+ nights
- Food (have had < 2 meals a day for 2+ days)
- Heating (have been unable to heat their home for 5+ days)
- Lighting (have been unable to light their home for 5+ days)
- Clothing and footwear (appropriate for weather)
- Basic toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush)
A survey of crisis service users in various parts of the country was used to produce modelled estimates for every local authority. Authorities are ranked on their estimated destitution levels for each of three separate sub-populations (‘migrants’, ‘complex needs’ and ‘other’), and for all three groups put together. Blackburn with Darwen is in the most severe decile of destitution for two out of the three individual sub-populations. It just escapes being in the top decile for destitution overall, but only by one place (Heriot Watt University 2018).
Life Expectancy
Life expectancy in Blackburn with Darwen not only lags behind England (see shaded areas in Figure 10), but has plateaued in recent years, and shows some signs of actually starting to fall (though this decline is not statistically significant). In 2014-16, the borough had the 5th lowest life expectancy in England for males, and the 9th equal lowest for females, out of 324 lower-tier local authorities.
Even at a national level (green lines in Figure 10), the rate of improvement in life expectancy is much slower than it was. These trends are attracting increasing amounts of attention and comment, including an acknowledgement by ONS of their statistical significance, and an undertaking to investigate further (Kings Fund 2017; ONS 2018c).
There is also striking inequality in life expectancy within Blackburn with Darwen. To illustrate this, Public Health England has ranked the borough’s LSOAs by IMD score, divided them into ten equal groups (‘deciles’) of deprivation, and calculated the life expectancy for each (PHE 2018x). As Figure 11 shows. the difference between the most and least deprived tenths of the borough was 11.6 years for males in 2014-16. For females, it was 8.4 years.
Local Economy
Any analysis of health and social care needs would be incomplete without a quick introduction to the local economy, not only because it helps to set the context, but also because the economy is a major determinant of health.
Skills
In 2017, there were estimated to be 11,000 people aged 16-64 in Blackburn with Darwen with no qualifications, or 12.1% of the working-age population (England 7.6%) (Centre for Cities 2018). Clearly such a high rate (ranking 21st among upper-tier authorities) is undesirable. Data from the Centre for Cities provides a stark illustration of the relationship between lack of qualifications and the employment rate (Figure 13) (Centre for Cities 2018).
At the other end of the spectrum, 21.4% of people aged 16-64 in Blackburn with Darwen had a degree or equivalent in 2017. This is still well below average (England 31.1%), but it continues a gradually improving trend, and means that the borough is on the verge of leaving the bottom quintile of local authorities (Nomis 2018).
The proportion of the borough’s 19-year-olds qualified to Level 3 (i.e. two A-levels or equivalent) has also shown steady improvement over the years (Figure 14) (DfE 2018b).
Economic Activity
As seen in Figure 15, an estimated 65.3% of the borough’s residents aged 16-64 are employed (Nomis 2018). This is the 9th lowest rate out of 150 upper tier local authorities (not including the City of London and Scilly Isles).
Together with those who are officially unemployed (i.e. actively seeking work and available to start), it means that only 69.7% are ‘economic active’, which is the 2nd lowest rate in England (again not including the City of London or Scilly Isles).
Looking for Work
Unemployment
Strictly speaking, unemployment is defined by whether people are actively seeking work and available to start, rather than by any benefits they may be claiming. This can only be ascertained from a sample survey, so the estimates for an area such as Blackburn with Darwen are subject to large confidence intervals (Figure 16). The latest results (for April 2017 – March 2018) suggest that there are approximately 4000 unemployed people of working age in Blackburn with Darwen. It is conventional to express this as a percentage of the economically active population, which gives a rate of 6.3%.
Claimant Count
It is obvious from Figure 16 that it would be useful to have a proxy for the official unemployment count, which does not depend on a survey. For many years, that need was met by the Claimant Count. Since the introduction of Universal Credit, however, things have not been quite so simple.
The Claimant Count now consists of the (diminishing) number of people still on Job Seekers Allowance, plus those claiming Universal Credit who are required to seek work (House of Commons Library 2018b). It is available on this basis going back to April 2015 (Figure 17). The latest Claimant Count total for the borough (in August 2018) was 3575. As a percentage of the working-age population (not just the economically active), this gives a rate of 3.9%.
Impact of Universal Credit ‘Full Service’
However, Figure 17 must be interpreted with caution. As Universal Credit is rolled out, the rules about who is required to seek work in order to receive benefit keep changing. This makes it difficult to interpret trends in the Claimant Count, and has led ONS to demote it to an ‘Experimental Statistic’.
Judging by Figure 17, it might be thought that the Blackburn with Darwen economy has taken a turn for the worse since February 2018. However, that is not necessarily the case, because in February 2018, the borough became a ‘Full Service’ area for Universal Credit.1 More people are required to seek work under Universal Credit than under the legacy benefits that it replaces, so the recent sharp rise in the Claimant Count may well reflect the fact that the ‘goalposts’ have moved. A similar sharp rise was seen in areas which moved to Full Service last year (2017) (House of Commons Library 2018b).
Claimant Count Across the Borough
The fact that it is difficult to interpret the trend in the Claimant Count does not prevent us from looking at how it varies across the Borough at a snapshot in time. Figure 18 shows how the rate as at August 2018 ranged from 0.3% in North Turton with Tockholes, to 8.2% in Wensley Fold.
Employment by Sector
Both locally and nationally, the biggest sector for employment is Health (Figure 19). Health, Education and Public Admininstration together account for just over a third of Blackburn with Darwen employees, compared with a national average of just over a quarter. 16.4% of employees in Blackburn with Darwen work in Manufacturing, which is more than twice the England average of 8.1%.
Productivity
Productivity describes the ability to produce outputs from a given amount of inputs such as labour. Economic output can only be increased by raising the amount of inputs (e.g. employees) or by raising their productivity, so productivity is vital to improving standards of living (ONS 2018g).
The preferred sub-regional measure of productivity is Gross Value Added (GVA) per hour worked. On this basis, Blackburn with Darwen has the 12th lowest productivity out of 168 ‘NUTS 3’ areas in the UK (Figure 20), at 77.6% of the UK average (ONS 2018g).
Earnings
Provisional median gross weekly earnings for Blackburn with Darwen residents in 2017 were £352.30. This puts Blackburn with Darwen second lowest (after Blackpool), out of 150 upper-tier authorities in England (Figure 21) (ONS 2017a).
Household Income
Gross Disposable Household Income
Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) is the amount of money that individuals in households have available for spending after taxes and benefits. Provisional estimates for 2016 are now available by local authority (ONS 2018h).
The Blackburn with Darwen average of £12,450 per head is the 2nd lowest in the UK (after Nottingham), and the lowest in the North West. It compares with an England average of £19,878. Blackburn with Darwen has consistently been in 2nd or 3rd lowest place for the past six years.
Total Household Income
ONS also issues various modelled estimates of household income at the smaller Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) level (ONS 2018i). Figure 23 shows a map of how Total Annual Household Income (before tax) varies across the borough.
Half of Blackburn with Darwen’s 18 MSOAs are in the bottom national decile for household income (darkest purple), with estimated average incomes ranging from £20,100 to £29,100. Eight of them form a broad swathe across Blackburn. The lowest of all is in Audley, and this MSOA ranks third lowest in England (out of 6791). The next lowest MSOA in Blackburn with Darwen, covering the town centre area, ranks 11th lowest in England. By contrast, Blackburn with Darwen also has one MSOA in the second-highest national decile (dark green), with an estimated average of £51,500.
It is stressed that these are only estimates, with a wide degree of uncertainty around them.
Safe and Healthy Homes
and Neighbourhoods
Housing
Private Rented Sector
“The private-rented sector in the UK is growing and has worse housing conditions than any other sector.”
— Parliamentary Office of Science & Technology [POST]
Housing Conditions
Evidence from the English Housing Survey shows that the private rented sector nationally has the highest rate of serious (‘Category 1’) hazards, including excess cold and risk of falls (Figure 24) (POST 2018). Private rented housing was also the most likely to be old, to be non-decent (a broader classification, including problems of disrepair and ageing facilities), and to be suffering from damp (POST 2018; MHCLG 2018).
Local Market
Modelled estimates (which ONS stress are not official statistics) suggest that Blackburn with Darwen had approximately 8500 privately rented houses in 2012, and 1000 more by 2015 (ONS 2017d). Data from the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) shows that median private-sector rents in Blackburn with Darwen (and in Burnley, Pendle and Hyndburn) in the year to March 2018 were in the bottom 15 nationally, and the rental for a non-self-contained room in Blackburn with Darwen was the lowest in the NW (VOA 2018).
Regulation
Multi-tenanted ‘Houses in Multiple Occupation’ (HMOs) often house some of the most vulnerable people in society. Since 2004, large HMOs of three storeys or more have had to be licensed (Figure 25). New legislation means that many more HMOs will require to be licensed from October 2018.
Councils can also impose a selective licensing scheme for private rented housing more generally, in areas of low demand. Such areas may be suffering from problems such as high turnover, high levels of disrepair, and anti-social behaviour. Blackburn with Darwen currently has two such schemes, one in Darwen and one in the Infirmary area of Blackburn (Figure 25), and finds them to be an effective tool for driving up housing standards and reversing neighbourhood decline (BwDBC 2015; BwDBC 2017a).
Cold housing and Fuel Poverty
As well as being a major contributor to excess winter deaths, cold housing adds to the burden of circulatory and respiratory disease, colds and flu, exacerbates chronic conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis, and has a negative effect upon mental health across all age-groups (Marmot Review Team 2011).
An estimated 8554 households in Blackburn with Darwen were classed as being in ‘fuel poverty’ in 2016. These are only modelled estimates, but they seem to be going up rather than down (from 8162 in 2015, and 7232 in 2014). At 14.4% of households (compared with 11.1% for England as a whole, and 12.8% for the NW), Blackburn with Darwen ranks 21st highest out of 326 districts in England (DBEIS 2018a; DBEIS 2018b).
A Government target aims to raise as many fuel-poor homes as possible to energy efficiency Band C by 2030, but research by the IPPR think-tank suggests that this will be missed by more than half a century (Guardian 2018b). Blackburn with Darwen does its best to promote energy efficiency and available grants via initiatives such as its ‘Heat and Eat’ events (Shuttle 2018a).
Crime and Violence
Violent and Sexual Offences
The Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHE 2018w) monitors the rate of violent crime and the rate of sexual offences. In 2016/17, both rates were higher than average in Blackburn with Darwen. They were also both rising, but this was the case in almost every district across England. The borough also had the 16th highest rate of hospital admissions for violence in 2014/15 – 2016/17. However, this indicator is generally high across the urban NW, and Blackburn with Darwen is no longer any worse than the region as a whole.
Fast Food Outlets
Number and density
‘CEDAR’ Estimates
Blackburn with Darwen became briefly notorious as the ‘takeaway capital’ of England in July 2017, when research from the ‘CEDAR’ Unit at Cambridge University (CEDAR 2017) gave rise to newspaper headlines like the one above (Guardian 2017a). Blackburn with Darwen’s 236 takeaways were not (quite) the highest number per head (that honour went to Westminster). However, they did represent the highest number of takeaways as a proportion of all food outlets in the borough (38%).
A subsequent Guardian article, also based on data from CEDAR, found that 400 schools in England had 20 or more fast food outlets within a 400m radius. St Anne’s School, in the centre of Blackburn, was said to be in the top ten, with 46 nearby outlets (Guardian 2017b).

Since then, Public Health England (PHE) has published its own analysis, using a different data source and definition.3 The PHE data shows Blackburn with Darwen to have 219 ‘fast food outlets’ as at 31st December 2017 (Figure 28) (PHE 2018i). This equates to 147.5 outlets per 100,000 population, which is the 13th highest density in the country. By comparison, the England average is 96.5, and the maximum (in Blackpool) is 232.2.
PHE’s density map shows a clear north-south divide (Figure 28), and a strong link with deprivation. As well as Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley and Hyndburn also rank highly. PHE also provides ward-level counts, which let us see where the borough’s 219 fast food outlets are concentrated.
Evidence and policy
Giving evidence to the recent House of Commons Childhood Obesity Inquiry, the CEDAR team at Cambridge University drew attention to the typical cheapness, high-calorie content and large portion size of takeaway food, and the concentration of fast food outlets in deprived areas. They concluded that takeaways were linked to obesity (and to inequalities in obesity) in a way that supermarkets and restaurants were not (CEDAR 2018). Public Health England has also alluded to the ‘growing body of evidence’ connecting fast food outlets to obesity (PHE 2018i).
Blackburn with Darwen’s ‘Eat Well Move More Shape Up’ strategy acknowledges how fast food outlets are over-represented in deprived areas, the temptation they pose to young people in particular, and the need for tighter controls to regulate their growth (BwDBC 2017b). Since April 2016, the borough has operated a policy of refusing permission for new takeaways within 400m of any primary or secondary school, madrassa, nursery or college, unless there are fewer than five such establishments already and the proposed opening hours are outside those of the educational institution (BwDBC 2016).

First steps
Welcome to the FastPixel API tutorial section! If you love pixel art as much as I am and you are free for a few minutes: please, take a seat comfortably and let's get started!
Basic HTML and JavaScript knowledge is required! Would be a plus if you had an experience with canvas 2d technology.
Okay, first of all we need to put the canvas tag onto the document body:
<canvas id="canvas" width="128" height="128"></canvas>
At the second step we have to include an API and the main script file where we going to code.
(Here you can find the latest "pxl.js" file)
<script src="pxl.js"></script>
<script src="main.js"></script>
Open your "main.js" file and make sure that the current browser is cool:
if (pxl.isSupported()){
/*code here further*/
} else{
alert("not suppoted!");
}
Now you can run your HTML page... No messages? - Good, let's continue!
FastPixel API is synchronous and don't use worker threads. But don't worry, it is fast enough to process any kind of pixels!
It's based on MVC design pattern which is great for creating drawing tools. You can have only one model and few view instances which are listen changes from the same source. One may be used as preview and the other one is for drawing directly, for example.
But we going to talk about model manipulations in future tutorials...
Inside if-body make a reference onto the View class:
var View = pxl.View;
Create the view instance below and make it active:
View.activeView = View.create({
// "Layout" is a model here, so we have to specify our model's size:
"layoutSize": {
width: 128,
height: 128
},
// Our canvas:
"element": document.getElementById("CANVAS")
});
As mentioned before, there may be few view instances, but only one of them can be active at a same time. Also, keep in mind that activeView is a static property of View class.
Prepare four color channels (please note that each channel have to be integer and fit in 0..255 range):
var r = 255;
var g = 0;
var b = 255;
var a = 255;
Communication between components mostly based on "options" object:
var options = {
"start": new pxl.Point(0, 0), //x:y position
"offset": new pxl.Point(32, 32), //width:height
"pixel": pxl.RGBA(r, g, b, a) //always make a color using this way! In this example it returns 0xFF00FFFF
};
The Point class is just an object which containt two numbers: {"x": 0, "y": 0}. It helps to orient in 2d space and perfect for storing coordinates.
Finally we can draw our first pixel!
View.activeView.drawRect(options); //pretty big one :)
Everything should be OK and you have to see the magenta pixel 32x32 at the top of your screen.
My congratulations! You has ben passed the first tutorial and on a one step closer to make a pixel art tool!

The nomination period for the 9th Annual Podcast Awards is underway. In this video, I look back on our 5 seasons of podcasting on the Chicago Cubs and show you how to nominate us for the awards.
Simply go to http://podcastawards.com. Fill in "Ivy Envy" and "http://ivyenvy.com" in the Sports Category. We would also appreciate it if you would nominate the podcast that Andy's wife and my wife do, Mommy's Cocktail Hour.
While we will be up against the big players in the sports category, like the ESPN podcasts. A handful of independent podcasts are nominated every year and I'd love the opportunity to represent our listeners at the Podcast Awards ceremony.


Colour Sequence
问题描述 :
We have a pile of cards consisting of 100 cards that are coloured on both sides. There is a finite number of colours (at most 26). In addition there are special cards called jokers. Jokers have a joker sign on both sides, which can assume any of the possible colours. We consider here a one-player card game, in which the player is challenged to derive a given colour sequence from a given row of cards, following certain rules.
Before the actual beginning of the game a colour sequence S of length at most 100 (not containing a joker) is given. Furthermore a number of cards are chosen from the pile and are put in a row. The sides turned upwards form a row of colours. Now the aim for the player is to create the colour sequence S with the cards from the row in the following way. For each card in the row the player decides whether or not to turn it over. When the card is turned over, only the colour on the other side is visible. Jokers may be part of the row of cards.
These steps lead to the final sequence of colours formed by the visible side of the cards in the row. If the player has been able to turn the cards in such a way that the pre-given colour sequence S is contained (from left to right) in the final row of colours, the player wins. If not, he loses. In matching the pre-given colour sequence to the row, cards in the row may be skipped, as long as the relative order of the colours is preserved. A joker can assume any colour. For example, the colour sequence (red, blue, yellow) is contained in (green, joker, blue, red, yellow), and (blue, green, blue, green) is contained in (red, blue, joker, yellow, joker, blue, green, green).
Your job is to find out if the player can win, given the colour sequence S and the row of cards chosen from the pile. This means that the sequence of colours that are face up is known, and so are the colours on the other side of these cards.
输入:
The first line of the input file contains a single number: the number of test cases to follow. Each test case has the following format:
-
One line describing the colour sequence S. This line contains a string of m (with 1 ≤ m ≤ 100) characters from the set {'A', 'B', …, 'Z'}, denoting the colours. Different colours correspond to different characters. For example: "BGBG" denotes the sequence blue, green, blue, green.
-
Two lines, corresponding to the row of cards chosen from the pile. Each of these lines contains a string of k (1 ≤ k ≤ 100) characters from the set {'A', 'B', …, 'Z', '*'}. The character '*' denotes a joker, which can play the role of any of the possible colours.
The string in the first line corresponds to the row of colours on the visible side of the cards. The string in the second line corresponds to the row of colours on the hidden side of the cards.
So for the ith card in the row, the first line gives the colour of the side turned upwards and the second line shows the colour of the side face down. Obviously the strings on both lines have the same length. Furthermore, a '*' in one line (denoting a joker) always corresponds to a '*' in the other line at the corresponding position.
输出:
For every test case in the input file, the output should contain one line. This line contains "win" if the colour sequence S can be achieved by the player by turning the right cards upside down, and "lose" if this is not the case.

先从简单的做起，归并排序，二叉树相关的遍历等
int L[m+1][n+1];这样定义出错，这个在gcc上可以编译通过 在VS上不行 应该改为new 或者vector
程序员会算法，等于一个古惑仔带了zhi抢啊
simple, however efficient. A lot of instances it is difficult to get that a??perfect balancea?? among usability and appearance. I must say that youa??ve done a exceptional task with this. Also, the blog masses quite fast for me on Web explore.
题目和代码都不一样好吗！！！搞错了
这道题目的核心一句话是：取还是不取。
如果当前取，则index+1作为参数。如果当前不取，则任用index作为参数。
第一题选错了，答案是A
21行中，j<10可改为j<10-i，减少比较次数
通不过。
一开始就规定不相邻节点颜色相同，可能得不到最优解。我想个类似的算法，也不确定是否总能得到最优解：先着一个点，随机挑一个相邻点，着第二色，继续随机选一个点，但必须至少有一个边和已着点相邻，着上不同色，当然尽量不增加新色，直到完成。我还找不到反例验证他的错误。。希望LZ也帮想想, 有想法欢迎来邮件。谢谢
这个也是算法导论的习题


Context defines information about a transaction that is being validated
type Context struct { Seq int Envelope []byte TxID string Channel string VSCCName string Policy []byte Namespace string Block *common.Block }

PluginName defines the name of the plugin as it appears in the configuration
type PluginName string
PluginValidator values transactions with validation plugins
type PluginValidator struct { sync.Mutex PluginMapper QueryExecutorCreator msp.IdentityDeserializer // contains filtered or unexported fields }
func NewPluginValidator(pm PluginMapper, qec QueryExecutorCreator, deserializer msp.IdentityDeserializer, capabilities Capabilities) *PluginValidator
NewPluginValidator creates a new PluginValidator
func (pv *PluginValidator) ValidateWithPlugin(ctx *Context) error
type PolicyEvaluator struct { msp.IdentityDeserializer }

implementation of Validator interface, keeps reference to the ledger to enable tx simulation and execution of vscc
type TxValidator struct { ChainID string Support Support Vscc vsccValidator }
func NewTxValidator(chainID string, support Support, sccp sysccprovider.SystemChaincodeProvider, pm PluginMapper) *TxValidator
NewTxValidator creates new transactions validator
func (v *TxValidator) Validate(block *common.Block) error
Validate performs the validation of a block. The validation of each transaction in the block is performed in parallel. The approach is as follows: the committer thread starts the tx validation function in a goroutine (using a semaphore to cap the number of concurrent validating goroutines). The committer thread then reads results of validation (in orderer of completion of the goroutines) from the results channel. The goroutines perform the validation of the txs in the block and enqueue the validation result in the results channel. A few note-worthy facts: 1) to keep the approach simple, the committer thread enqueues
all transactions in the block and then moves on to reading the results.
2) for parallel validation to work, it is important that the
validation function does not change the state of the system. Otherwise the order in which validation is perform matters and we have to resort to sequential validation (or some locking). This is currently true, because the only function that affects state is when a config transaction is received, but they are guaranteed to be alone in the block. If/when this assumption is violated, this code must be changed.
Validator interface which defines API to validate block transactions and return the bit array mask indicating invalid transactions which didn't pass validation.
type Validator interface { Validate(block *common.Block) error }
VsccValidatorImpl is the implementation used to call the vscc chaincode and validate block transactions
type VsccValidatorImpl struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func (v *VsccValidatorImpl) GetInfoForValidate(chdr *common.ChannelHeader, ccID string) (*sysccprovider.ChaincodeInstance, *sysccprovider.ChaincodeInstance, []byte, error)
GetInfoForValidate gets the ChaincodeInstance(with latest version) of tx, vscc and policy from lscc
func (v *VsccValidatorImpl) VSCCValidateTx(seq int, payload *common.Payload, envBytes []byte, block *common.Block) (error, peer.TxValidationCode)
VSCCValidateTx executes vscc validation for transaction
func (v *VsccValidatorImpl) VSCCValidateTxForCC(ctx *Context) error

Bloodhound LSR tops 1000km/h in testing
The British land-speed record chasers have topped 1000km/h, with a full record attempt to come soon.
by CarAdvice- shares
Darcy Foster • The Bloodhound LSR has recorded a top speed of 1010km/h (628mph) in final testing for 2019 ahead of a land-speed record attempt some time in the next two years.
Piloted by Air Force wing commander Andy Green, the Bloodhound LSR completed a number of tests and obtained vital data to help engineers determine the rocket’s payload size for a crack at the current land-speed record.
Speaking after the test's conclusion, Green said “the stability and confidence the car gives me as a driver is testament to the years of world class engineering that has been invested in her by team members past and present”.
“With all the data generated by reaching 1010 km/h (628 mph), we’re in a great position to focus on setting a new world land-speed record in the next year or so.”
Green is the current land-speed record holder, piloting the Thrust SSC in 1997 to a top speed of 1227km/h (763mph) and in the process becoming the first person to break the sound barrier in a land vehicle.
The Bloodhound LSR project was launched in 2008 as the ‘Bloodhound SSC’ by Richard Noble.
Noble held the land-speed record for 14 years, recording a top speed of 1019 km/h (633 mph) in 1983.
With Andy Green signing on as pilot, the Bloodhound LSR’s ultimate goal was to surpass 1000mph (1609km/h).
Over a lengthy, ten-year developmental and testing process though, skyrocketing costs eventually forced the program into administration in October 2018.
Fortunately, British businessman Ian Warhurst purchased the business and its assets in December 2018, renaming the initiative from Bloodhound SSC to ‘Bloodhound LSR’ under his new company Grafton LSR Ltd.

1. Introduction
FlashSpeed is a text-based flashcard application specifically designed for university students who are learning a foreign language. University students often have hectic schedules. With this in mind, FlashSpeed was created to allow students to be able to study and revise foreign vocabulary on the fly. With a single command, you can start a quick study session on FlashSpeed whenever!
FlashSpeed enhances the revision process by adopting the Space Repetition System (SRS) in its design. Users will be tested more frequently on new words, or words that they have gotten wrong in previous sessions. This system benefits from the psychological spacing effect. SRS has been scientifically proven to increase the rate of learning and memorisation [1]. By using FlashSpeed, you will learn faster and remember for longer!
We hope you enjoy using our app. Happy FlashSpeeding!
