SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1994 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Stockard Channing, Will Smith, Donald Sutherland. Screenplay: John Guare. Director: Fred Schepisi.
There are few greater cinematic challenges than adapting a stage play for the screen. The two media are so different -- one primarily of words, the other of images -- that some plays just don't lend themselves to a film rendering. For every AMADEUS, a play which was opened up into a grand period drams, there is one A FEW GOOD MEN, too talky and stagy to succeed fully. That is the problem I fear many viewers could have with SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION. Thematically, John Guare's play is quite rich, as it is in character. However, its rapid-fire dialogue and exaggerated acting will strike those unfamiliar with live theater as too stylized and unrealistic.
SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION unfolds primarily through flashbacks, as wealthy Manhattan art dealer Flanders Kitteredge (Donald Sutherland) and his wife Ouisa (Stockard Channing) describe a unique encounter to friends. One evening, a young man appears at their door, apparently the victim of a mugging. The fellow (Will Smith) claims to be Paul Poitier, son of actor Sidney Poitier, as well as a friend of the Kitteredge's children at Harvard. He dazzles the Kitteredges for the evening, but they soon discover there is more to Paul than the story he has told. They learn that he has had a similar encounter with a doctor and another couple, each also beginning with an apparent mugging. Gruadually, as they investigate the connection between their incidents, Ouisa begins to wonder about connections in general, and to examine her life.
The characters at the heart of SIX DEGREES are marvelously intricate, tying together an examination of the vagaries of fortune. On one side is Flanders Kitteredge, a high roller whose gambles on art deals leave him perpetually one step away from poverty, and consequently obsessed with the trappings of wealth. On the other side is Paul, forced to the margins of society for the threefold sin of being poor, black and gay, and wanting to do more than just look in from the outside. In the middle is Ouisa, who realizes the fragile links between every human being. "Every person on this planet is connected to every other person by a chain of six people," she tells her daughter, "six degrees of separation," and in her consciousness of this chain she reaches out to Paul. Where this theme could have come off as a liberal social manifesto, SIX DEGREES treads lightly, making the obsession of the Kitteredges and their cronies with finding the man who had duped them comic but clear in its message: their world is threatened if just *anyone* can appear to be one of them.
The snag in SIX DEGREES is that even with its clever editing, even with its location photography, it still feels far too much like a stage play. Don't misunderstand, I love live theater. It is just that acting styles and narrative choices which work when a performance is in real time by actual size human beings one hundred feet away don't work when those same human beings are twenty feet high. Scenes involving college-age children berating their wealthy parents come off as ridiculously overacted, with staccato epithets overwhelming each other. Will Smith's genteel Paul Poitier persona seems too forced and phony for anyone to accept, even the star-struck Kitteredges, and the problem is that he's giving a big, broad performance much better suited to the stage. As a result, although I was intrigued with what SIX DEGREES had to say, the staginess of the production didn't allow me to get caught up in it.
To be fair, not all of the performances have that quality. Donald Sutherland does an extremely sharp reading of Flanders, never permitting him to appear stupid, which it would have been exceedingly easy to do. His sense of outrage grows as his facade crumbles, and he conveys that tension with subtlety and style. Stockard Channing, who played Ouisa on Broadway for three years, clearly knows her character inside out, and her telephone conversation with Paul late in the film is fantastic work. SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION provides some very funny human comedy in an extremely well-constructed story. It's also a story which works much better on stage.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 degrees of separation: 6.

Use a new interface to work with Arbor apps
This tutorial will help you use a new Arbor interface.
Step 1
First go here and create a user account: (see register in the top right corner)
Step 2
Email Curt<EMAIL_ADDRESS>that you have a login, so that he can add you to a user group that can run tasks.
Step 3
Navigate to this address (same root with /arbor_apps at the end).
http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/arbor_apps/]
Step 4
The way to try the interface is to load a tree & matrix, then pick a function to run. To load the tree and matrix, click the tabs at the bottom of the blue bar (e.g. PHYLOGENETIC TREE). This moves to the “current tree” panel, which will initially be empty. Next, click on the title “Phylogenetic ‘Tree (.phy)” below (with the white background). This should open a dialog that lets you browse any collections on this instance for data. There is an “example data” collection with trees and matrices in it.
Step 5
Repeat this process to load a character matrix.
Step 6
Other tabs should appear on the blue bar for each easy-mode function loaded. Select one of these and click the column from the matrix you want to use to perform the operation.
Step 7
You should see a green “progress circle” with status next to it, like Queued, Running, Pushing Output, and then the output of the method should display.

9 January 2007
The Ministry of Health in Indonesia has confirmed an additional two cases of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus.
The first newly-confirmed case is a 14 year old male from West Jakarta. He developed symptoms on 31 December 2006 and was hospitalized on 4 January 2007. He remains hospitalized. Deaths among poultry in the neighbourhood have recently been reported. The source of exposure is currently under investigation.
The second case is a 37 year old female from Tangerang, Banten Province. She developed symptoms on 1 January 2007 and was hospitalized on 6 January 2007. She remains in intensive care. Initial investigations suggest sick poultry as the possible source of infection.
Of the 76 cases confirmed to date in Indonesia, 57 have been fatal.


Component design
Edit (pull request)Target: Middleware experts, architects, operations teams.
Goal: Explain how to start with component design. In this tutorial, the component we will focus on is Tomcat Application Server.
Define the node type
A component in ALIEN is a tosca node type. Information on TOSCA and the grammar can be found on OASIS TC pages and in ALIEN documentation in the components section. This tutorial doesn’t focus on the grammar but on the methodology to define components.
The first step to define the component is to define it’s id. In our case, we will define a ‘fastconnect.nodes.Tomcat’ node. This component will be abstract as we don’t plan to include an implementation for now (another member of the team may provide an implementation). More, while an implementation may not be compliant with any Operating System (Linux shell scripts that won’t run on windows) or PaaS (Cloudify specific scripts) etc. The abstract type allows to define an agnostic view of the middleware.
A same node may have different implementations, for example a Tomcat Node may have an implementation based on puppet and another based on chef, or even pure shell script.
Definition of abstract types is also a good way also to provide separation of concern and to let an Architect define a middleware and let the implementation to the experts.
Second step when defining a node is to find from which parent type it should extends, it can be an existing type already uploaded in ALIEN or one of TOSCA normative type. There is multiple reasons to extends from the normative types (or another type that itself extends from a normative type):
- Workflow automatic generation is based on the fact that the node uses the default lifecycle interfaces that are defined on the normative types.
- Using normative types is also a good way to leverage ALIEN 4 Cloud facet search (for example I will be able to filter on all ApplicationServer nodes).
- Finally extending from normative types allows to bootstrap your node with some properties, capabilities and requirements. For example as our Tomcat extends from tosca.nodes.SoftwareComponents it will have
- a version property that should be specified
- a host requirement (as a software component must be installed on a compute node).
- the default feature requirement and relationship that are used to established depends on relationships (to impact the lifecycle generation).
In the case of a Tomcat server the normative type that we should extends from is tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer. This node extends itself from tosca.nodes.SoftwareComponents.
fastconnect.nodes.Tomcat:
abstract: true
derived_from: tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer
documentation: Tomcat application server is an application server that supports deployment of java web applications (war).
It is possible here to create another parent abstract type that supports any Java Application Server. This would allow for any Java Application Server to just extends from the node and leverage common properties, requirements and capabilties (Java requirement, War capability, Java arguments properties etc.).
Extension is not mandatory as this will just allow to simplify the definition of multiple bean but will not impact the topology creation. In order to keep this tutorial simple we will just extend our Tomcat from the tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer node type.
Properties
The first property we want to define is the version of tomcat that this tomcat definition supports. Indeed all the tomcat versions doesn’t have the same capabilities, for example tomcat 7.x supports web-sockets while this is not supported in tomcat 5.x for example.
Version property as stated earlier is already defined in SoftwareComponent, it is possible however to override it to add an additional constraint. In this example we want to describe a tomcat node for all versions 7 so we will redefine the version property (with the same version type) and add constraints.
Second property that we want to add in this tutorial is the java options to use to startup the Tomcat server. This will allow users to specify the java memory requirements and garbage collection settings.
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Constraints |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| version | version | true | 7 | Between 7 (inclusive) and 8 exclusive |
| java_ops | string | false | None | None |
fastconnect.nodes.Tomcat:
abstract: true
derived_from: tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer
documentation: Tomcat application server is an application server that supports deployment of java web applications (war).
properties:
version:
type: version
constraints:
- greater_or_equal: 7
- less_than: 8
java_ops:
type: string
Tomcat node with the version between [7 and 8)
Of course we could add more properties to the tomcat node in order to allow configuration of other server related properties. In this tutorial we will just use the properties mentioned above.
Note that as ALIEN supports the versioning of the archives it is easy to add properties later in a next version of the component.
Requirements
Next important section to describe on the Tomcat type is the list of requirements. As Tomcat inherit from SoftwareComponent it has an inherited requirement over a Compute node (this requirement can be fulfilled in a topology by using an hosted_on relationship). The other requirement for a Tomcat node is to have a java installed. We will model this by adding a java requirement to the tomcat node.
A requirements can express constraints on some of the target capability or node, properties. Here we reference a requirement on a Java Node and specify a constraint on the version of the java node.
| Name | Type | occurrences | Constraints | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| host | tosca.nodes.Compute | [1, 1] (default) | Inherited from tosca.nodes.SoftwareComponent | |
| java | fastconnect.nodes.Java | [1, 1] (default) | Greater or equal than 7 |
fastconnect.nodes.Tomcat:
abstract: true
derived_from: tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer
documentation: Tomcat application server is an application server that supports deployment of java web applications (war).
properties:
version:
type: version
constraints:
- greater_or_equal: 7
- less_than: 8
java_ops:
type: string
requirements:
java:
type: fastconnect.nodes.Java
constraints:
version: { greater_or_equal: 1.7 }
Tomcat node inherit from the requirement on a hosting compute node that is defined by the SoftwareComponent TOSCA normative node. Here we define an abstract Tomcat node that doesn’t have any specific requirement for the compute node (os type etc.) so we don’t have to override the parent requirement. Of course it is possible to override a parent requirement to specify more advanced constraints.
Capabilities
Tomcat has multiple capabilities and the two main capabilities that we want to define in this tutorial are the ability to hort some War node(s) on top of Tomcat as well as it’s http endpoint.
| Name | Type | Occurences |
|---|---|---|
| http | tosca.capabilities.Endpoint | [0, unbounded] (default) |
| war_host | fastconnect.nodes.War | [0, unbounded] (default) |
In case of the http capability we want to define the port of the tosca.capabilties.Endpoint to be actually the one define in the
fastconnect.nodes.Tomcat:
abstract: true
derived_from: tosca.nodes.ApplicationServer
documentation: Tomcat application server is an application server that supports deployment of java web applications (war).
properties:
version:
type: version
constraints:
- greater_or_equal: 7
- less_than: 8
java_ops:
type: string
requirements:
java:
type: fastconnect.nodes.Java
constraints:
version: { greater_or_equal: 1.7 }
capabilties:
http:
type: tosca.capabilities.Endpoint
properties:
port: 8080
war_host:
type: fastconnect.capabilities.War
Conclusion
Following the tutorial you should be able to define your own types to be added in ALIEN repository. TOSCA’s requirement and capabilties mechanisms as well as constraint validations allows users to leverage your types so they can easily build topologies and minimize errors in configurations.
The next step is to actually implement the type in order to have a type that can indeed be instantiated in a topology.

FORT APACHE A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 1999
People who like to classify movies according to their quality are often reminded of a phenomenon called "guilty pleasures" - films that are bad, but still liked, even by those filmophiles who should know better. On the other hand, we might encounter quite the opposite phenomenon - films that should be viewed as masterpieces, but are actually not very liked. The author of this review encountered such phenomenon very often in the case of John Ford. The reason for that probably lies in first impressions which weren't very favourable towards John Ford's work. In my early years I used to like westerns very much, but westerns by John Ford, who had been often referred as the best and most important director of the genre, looked somewhat "too artistic" or not attractive enough to be actually liked. Those impressions stuck with me in latter years, even after my taste in films became evolved. Such was the case with FORT APACHE, 1948 western by John Ford, first in his US Cavalry trilogy.
The script of the film, written by Frank S. Nugent is based on the story called MASSACRE by James Warner Bellah. Fort Apache is small, desolate garrison of US Cavalry, populated by rag-tag bunch of Civil War veterans, many of them former officers and now reduced in rank and pay. The garrison gets the new commander - Lieutenant Colonel Owen Thursday (played by Henry Fonda), accompanied by his lovely daughter Philadelphia (played by Shirley Temple). Thursday sees his new post as humiliation and desperately seeks ways to reclaim his honour and prove himself as capable military leader. His arrogance would cause conflict with his subordinates, and his class snobbery would make a rift between him and Philadelphia, when she falls in love with young Lt. Michael O'Rourke (played by John Agar), son of Sergeant O'Rourke (played by Ward Bond). The biggest conflict arises when Thursday, against the advice of his much and experienced subordinate, Captain York (played by John Wayne) decides to betray Cochise, legendary Apache chief, in order to start war that would bring him long-desired fame. At the end, Thursday would reach his goal, but not in a way he had anticipated.
Since the plot of this film bears more than small resemblance to the legend of Custer's Last Stand, John Ford uses this opportunity to explore the reality of Old West, and it the same time keep the mythical distance towards this popular subject. This film indeed deals with the darker pages of Old West history - the ways in which US government dealt with the Indians and its own war veterans, and the rigid class system that existed in US Army at the time. Those motives are used in variety of vignettes that deal with the everyday lives of Fort Apache cavalrymen. Although many of those vignettes slow down the pace of the movie, making it two hours long, some of them are very amusing, and sometimes even touching; John Ford obviously liked his characters and thanks to the actors of his legendary "Stock Company" they appear as the most memorable element of this film. This is not the case with the romantic subplot involving Philadelphia and young O'Rourke - it seems forcefully introduced into to the movie only to satisfy Hollywood formula.
The acting in the film is, on the other hand, very good. Henry Fonda, who plays arrogant and self-obsessed militaristic maniac, never slips into over- acting and paves a way for the role of the true villain role in ONCE UPPON A TIME IN WEST twenty years later. John Wayne, who is overshadowed by his performance, has a rather thankless role of a second fiddle. That role is even more compromised by the sudden and rather unexplained change of heart in Wayne's character - Captain York, who was portrayed as a man of integrity is following the party line at the end. Wayne was probably less responsible for that than Ford himself, who had rather ambiguous feelings about military while making this film. On one hand, he clearly deplores militaristic folly, while, on the other hand, sees the military as one big family. That ambiguity is probably the biggest weakness of this film, with the rather forgettable musical score by Richard Hageman being the close second. So, this film isn't among the best westerns ever made, not even among the best films by John Ford. Despite all of its imperfections and despite the fact that it isn't the must-see or cult classic material, FORT APACHE is still a very good piece of cinema, essential for those who want to see expressions of American myths in Hollywood movies.

"THE RING" ('RINGU') a review by R.L. Strong 4½ out of 5 stars
FINE LINE PICTURES PRESENTS A KODAKAWA SHOTEN PUBLISHING COMPANY. LTD.PRODUCTION Staring NANAKO MATSUSHIMA HIROYUKI SANADA MIKI NAKATANI Original Score by KENJI KAWAI Executive Producer MASATO HARA Edited by NOBUYUKI TAKAHASHI Director of Photography JUNICHIRO HAYASHI Based on the Novel by KOJI SUZUKI Produced by TAKASHIGE ICHISE SHINYA KAWAI TAKANORI SENTO Screenplay HIROSHI TAKAHASHI Directed by HIDEO NAKATA
The state of the Horror genre in American films has been in dire straits for the past 20 years. Several films have been heralded as the savior of the genre. Films such as Wes Craven's "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer" really did nothing to revive the format. It wasn't until last year with the release of "The Blair Witch Project" and "The Sixth Sense" that horror films came back to the land of box-office success and audience acceptance. But the trend was actually started back a year earlier with a small little film from the Island of Japan.
Yes, you heard right the same country that gave us rubber monsters, samurais masquerading as Italian cowboys, and Laser Discs. But there has always been a tradition of lyrical and hypnotic horror from the Island nation. Such regarded films as "Kaiden" and "Onibaba" both revel in their story telling and ominous portrayal of dread. But for the past 30 years, audiences have been fed so much carnage that it's refreshing to find a film that deals in the subliminal and the sublime.
"The Ring" (Japanese title: "Ringu") is such a film. Telling its tale of supernatural revenge and atonement with a leisurely pace and atmosphere that almost cries out terror. This is not the school of revulsion. Far from it, this is the realm of bad dreams and bad deaths that come at you with inexorable finality. This is sublime terror that cannot be withstood.
The film opens with Tomiko and her friend, two teenage girls spending the evening together while Tomiko's parents are at a baseball game. Tomiko's friend relates the story of a young boy, who had watched a strange videotape, wherein a old woman, pointing her finger at him said he would die within a week. Tomiko remains silent as he friend details the aftermath in which the boy received a phone call immediately after viewing the tape. The voice on the phone said the same thing. Tomiko asks her friend what happened to the boy. She replies, "His parents found him dead. His mouth wide open, like he was screaming". Tomiko lays down on the floor, her discomfort palpable.  Tomiko turns the tables on her friend claiming to have had the exact same experience while on a camping trip. As her friend starts to succumb to the fear inherent in the situation, Tomiko breaks down laughing, replaying the joke.
Suddenly the phone rings! The two girls stop laughing and run down stairs to answer it. Tomiko's friend picks up the receiver. The call turns out to be from Tomiko's Mother. The baseball game is going into extra innings and they won't be home until late. Tomiko's friend runs off to use the bathroom. Tomiko hangs up the phone, when the television in the living room suddenly turns itself on. Tomiko slowly walks into the room to turn the set off. Returning to the kitchen to pour herself a drink, Tomiko feels something oppressive in the room. She turns towards the television; her eyes grow wide in terror. She screams.
Reiko Asakawa (Nanako Matsushima) is a journalist working on a story for her television station concerning the urban legend of the cursed videotape. Interviewing a group of schoolgirls, Reiko becomes immersed
in the tale. Returning home to her son, Koichi (Katsumi Muramatsu), Reiko gets ready to visit her parents for the funeral of her niece Tomiko!
The tale of the curse videotape, formerly only an urban legend has now become a personal issue for Reiko. Talking with some of Tomiko's friends outside the home, it is learned that the girl visiting her that night that she dies is now hospitalized in shock. Hearing that two of Tomiko's friends died in a car the same evening, Reiko investigates further. She searches Tomiko's room, finding a roll of film from her camping trip. Taking the film for developing, Reiko finds the resort the teenagers had stayed at. But another anomaly is found on one of the photos. A group shot of all four teens, innocent enough, except that faces are all distorted and warped.
Investigating the resort, Reiko finds the unlabeled videotape behind the front desk. She asks the desk clerk about the four teens, but without any real recollection other than they did not stay the night they had paid for, there was nothing else strange about them. Reiko goes to the cabin that her niece had stayed with her boyfriend and watches the video. The television is first rife with static. But then, smeared images of a woman brushing her hair in a mirror, someone with a cloth covering their head, their finger pointing down towards the bottom of the screen. Numerous other bizarre unconnected images concluding with a view of a well in a small garden. Reiko turns off the video. As she does the phone rings!!
Reiko returns home to her son. She is disturbed and uncomfortable. She calls her ex-husband, Ryuji Takayama (Hiroyuki Sanada) a reporter for a tabloid and a practicing psychic. Ryuji arrives at Reiko's home. He stops outside as his son in going off to school. The two stand in front of each other for a moment, without exchanging a word. Koichi goes on his way. Inside the home, Ryuji feels an ominous presence. Skeptical about the urban legend, he asks to view the video. Reiko produces the tape (having stolen it from the hotel). As Ryuji watches, Reiko steps outside unable or unwilling to experience it again. Ryuji steps outside and tells her, "It's over.. It's been five minutes. No phone call."
Taking the tape to the Reiko's office, they examine it frame by frame on a digital editor. Researching the image of the woman on the video, they find that it is Mai Takano (Miki Nakatani). The only problem is that Takano, a noted psychic died in the early 60's. The investigation continues, leading to the Doctor who brought Takano to Tokyo to validate her claims of being a true psychic. With only days left before Reiko may fall prey to the curse, the search for a way to dispel the curse becomes even more serious when Koichi is urged to view the video by the ghost of his cousin, Tomiko.
"The Ring" is a luxurious horror film. Director Hideo Nakata is to be commended for constructing such a chilling and thought provoking film. The imagery and use of space in the film continually closes in on the viewer, giving one a continual feeling of claustrophobia. Almost subliminally, reflections, shadows, and spectral visions abound in the periphery of the film. There is so much depth that one is immediately pulled into the terror.
Nanako Matsushima as Reiko is just marvelous. This is one of the finest performances I have seen this year. Her decent into terror is too palpable to be ignored. As she is in almost every scene, she must carry not only the plot of the film but its emotional depth. Hiroyuki Sanada as Ryuji is also remarkably good, having to play the bitter ex-husband part. His dissatisfaction with his marriage and his family is frightening in and of itself. A loner blames everyone for it. In essence, he is a psychic that cannot see into his own heart.
The script by Hiroshi Takahashi is such dark poetry that from the first frame of the film to the final denouncement, the feelings of dread never let up. The characters are written with such detail to their lives and relationships that they seem to be real people. The film becomes almost a document, a diary if you would of these bizarre and unfathomable circumstances. The structure of the film plays almost like a dark detective story or supernatural noir, with clues being found and dug out of the most desperate of places. The central idea of an urban legend being true is nothing new, but in the hands of Takahashi the material is raised to level of suspense and unease that one cannot really appreciate until after the film has ended.
"The Ring" is without a doubt one of the most unique and frightening films since "Night of the Living Dead". Unlike that film and other horror films for the past 30 years, it does so without any gratuitous scenes of violence of gore. There are a few brief moments of the grotesque, but they are not handled in a manner that could be considered exploitative. The subtlety of technique and story telling make this film closer to Val Lewton territory than anything else in memory. However, Lewton's films were never this disturbingly real or close to home. By all cost see this film, this is the true beginning of a renaissance, and a harbinger of horror films that we can honestly enjoy and respect. With Fine Line films releasing "The Ring" sometime this year, it has my vote for one of this years best films.

Most of the functionality for managing a Team on the Communication API is handled through the Team
class.
Creating Teams
Creating a team can be done with the Team.create()
method, which will create both the team owner and the team itself. Since both user emails and team names are unique, the SDK will throw an exception if either is already taken.
import {
APISocket,
Team
} from '@skrumble/js-sdk';
// Configure the socket
APISocket.config({
client_id: "iK47Sr....",
client_secret: "$2y$10$J...",
api_hostname: "sandbox.skrumble.com",
auth_hostname: "sandbox-auth.skrumble.com"
})
// Create the team
try {
let myTeam = await Team.create({
owner_first_name: "Lorem",
owner_last_name: "Ipsum",
owner_email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>owner_password: "hunter2",
name: "Lorem Co",
country: "Canada",
city: "Toronto",
state: "ON"
});
} catch (err) {
// Team.create promise will be rejected with exceptions for
// emails/team names being taken, missing fields, or if the API fails
// to return a 201 Created (network interruption, server error, etc)
console.error(`Error creating team: ${err.message}`);
}
Inviting users
// Create the invite
User.invite({
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>team: myTeam
})
.then((invite_result) => {
// Now accept the invite
User.acceptInvite({
invite_token: invite_result.token,
first_name: "Jane",
last_name: "Doe",
password: "hunter2",
team: myTeam
})
.then((invitedUser) => console.log("User accepted", invitedUser);
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err))
Adding users
User.create({
first_name: "Jane",
last_name: "Doe",
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>password: "hunter2",
team: MyTeamObj
})
.then((newUser) => console.log("Created user", newUser.first_name, newUser.last_name))
.catch((err) => console.error("Problem creating user", err))
Updating users
Users are able to update their own information, such as their name, position, preferred language, and other properties visible on the User object.
let me = await APISocket.login({ ...opts })
me.mobile_number = "555...";
me.avatar = "http://gravatar.com/...";
me.language = "es";
me.save()
.then((me_updated) => console.log(me_updated))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
In addition, all Admins on the team are allowed to modify the information of other users. For instance, an Admin would be able to loop through all the users on the team and set their work phone number:
let user_list = await User.getAll();
user_list.forEach((user) => {
user.work_number = "123-555-1234";
try {
user.save();
} catch (err) {
console.error(`Error updating user phone #: ${err.message}`);
}
})

"Messi looks to control the play and influence the referees"
by BeSoccerThe Brazil captain has slammed Leo Messi, accusing him of influencing the referee and having a lack of manners.
Argentina beat Brazil through a Leo Messi rebound after he missed the original penalty.
After the match, Thiago Silva showed his discontent with the referee and Messi's actions, accusing the latter of always influencing the official's decisions.
"Messi kept moaning to the referee and he didn't do anything. He argued with the referee and continued to laugh. You have to leave the admiration aside", Silva said in some statements reported by the newspaper 'Sport'.
Thiago Silva confessed that he also spoke to some La Liga players about these actions that the defender sees in Leo Messi. "He is always looking to force the referee to give him a foul and he always acts this way. We have spoken with some players in Spain and it's the same, he looks to control the play and interfere with the referee's decisions".

Thiago Silva was more relieved to talk about the Champions League and the way of refereeing the European competition and thinks that it does not benefit the Argentine.
"In the Champions League, he doesn't have that advantage because the referees are tougher. You don't see him trying to say so much and there are referees who side with him out of admiration. As we did not have Neymar, we were at a disadvantage," he continued.
With regards to Messi's gesture to Tite, who he told to shut up, Thiago Silva saw a lack of manners: "It is hard to understand when we speak about manners on the park and one of the most admired players in the world does that. As much as there is rivalry, manners have to come first".

Introduction
In this post I want to cover an approach to firmware development. Firmware is just a term for software that runs hardware. It is the unsung hero of every electronic device. As much fun as it would be to just plop down a bunch of hardware on a printed circuit board and just have it all work, this is not the reality of electronics development. In fact, that wouldn’t even be practical. The reason being is you would need to create hardware that operates in a way that meets the need of EVERY application. And that’s not realistic at all, which is why a thing like abstraction exists. So what you end up having to do is write software that runs the hardware in a way that meets the needs of your application. Now firmware is often times developed for electronics that operate in a specific way. For example, the remote control for your TV is programmed to control things on your TV screen when you press buttons on it. This is referred to as an embedded system. The hardware inside of the remote control is specifically designed for the application of a TV remote. The people who pieced that hardware together had to write software that runs it in such a way that it performs the functions of a TV remote.
The electronics inside such devices operate in environments that often times have pretty rigid contraints. For instance, that TV remote of yours can operate on some AA or AAA batteries for months, maybe even a year, before you have to worry about changing them. This is an example of low power consumption and this is often times imposed on designers of embedded systems. Because seriously, who wants to worry about a power source for their TV remote every time they want to use it? Exactly. Nobody. Furthermore, think about the kind of processing needed for a TV remote. You press a button, something on the TV happens. Pretty simple, right? Not nearly as complicated as say the processing needed for taking input from a keyboard and displaying it on a screen as with your laptop or PC.
What you end up getting in a lot of embedded system designs is a microcontroller that interfaces with miscellaneous pieces of hardware to control the electrical and mechanical aspects of the system.  Now, there are a lot of ways that you can do that. It is very common for a multi-threaded real-time operating system (RTOS) to be used such as ChibiOS. And this is nice because it guarantees timing unlike the operating system on your laptop or PC where threads and processes are at the mercy of the operating system scheduler. Harkening back to the TV remote example, when we press buttons on it we’ll want to see something happen on the TV within a certain amount of time. For instance, no one is going to wait 60 seconds for the channel on the TV to change. Now in a TV remote, the timing requirements are probably far more relaxed than say an embedded system on an aircraft or spacecraft where they’ll need to react quickly to changes in input caused by the environment surrounding the craft. Another thing that’s nice about this is that each thread will be serviced for a specific amount of time (based on its priority) and this will guarantee that no thread impedes the throughput of the system.
The approach I want to talk about uses a single thread and some state machines. This is referred to as an event-driven finite-state machine.
Designing a state machine of state machines
while(1)
Every C program starts here.
int main(void){
while(1){
//stuff happens here
}
return 0; //should never get here
}
The entire contents of your C program for the embedded system will transpire in the infinite while loop. You could just put all of your code right there and call it good as long as it does what you need it to in the amount of time you need it to, but you’re probably better off at least organizing it a little bit.
Hardware tasks
void hardwareTasks(void){
i2cTasks();
spiTasks();
uartTasks();
//whatever other tasks you want to do here
}
Each one of these will be a state machine
typedef enum{
I2C_STATE0,

I have a background in observational astronomy. My research area is in star formation, which involved analyzing data from large observational surveys by extracting structures from images and finding relationships across multiple surveys. I am interested in using data, statistics, and machine learning to learn new things in different areas.

R was created by Rob Gentleman and Ross Ihaka in 1994; it is based on the S language developed at Bell Labs by John Chambers (Stanford Statistics).
It is an open-source language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
Traditionally, academics and researchers. However, recently R has expanded also to industry and enterprise market. Worldwide usage on log-scale:

The PYPL Index is created by analyzing how often language tutorials are searched on Google (generated using raw data from Google Trends).
Pros:
Cons:
R is an interpreted language, i.e. programs do not need to be compiled into machine-language instructions.
R is object oriented, i.e. it can be extended to include non-standard data structures (objects). A generic function can act differently depending on what objects you passe to it.
R supports matrix arithmetics.
R packages can generate publication-quality plots, and interactive graphics.
Many user-created R packages contain implementations of cutting edge statistics methods.
As of September 29th 2018, there are 13,083 packages on CRAN, 1,560 on Bioconductor, and many others on github)

R packages are a collection of R functions, complied code and sample data.
They are stored under a directory called library in the R environment.
Some packages are installed by default during R installation and are always automatically loaded at the beginning of an R session.
# First, load Bioconductor script. You need to have an R version >=3.3.0.
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
# Then you can install packages with: biocLite("Package Name"), e.g.
biocLite("limma")
# You need to first install a package "devtools" from CRAN
install.packages("devtools")
# Load the "devtools" package
library(devtools)
# Then you can install a package from some user's reporsitory, e.g.
install_github("twitter/AnomalyDetection")
# or using install_git("url"), e.g.
install_git("https://github.com/twitter/AnomalyDetection")

The swirl R package allows to learn R programming and data science very easily. You will use it in Lab 2, so here we are going to install it together. The workflow is the same as for any other R package.
Step 1: Open RStudio and type the following into the console:
That is just for this time!!! Once swirl is installed on your machine, you can skip directly to step 2.
Step 2: Start swirl
This is the only step that you will repeat every time you want to run swirl. First, you will load the package using the library() function. Then you will call the function that starts the magic! Type the following, pressing Enter after each line:

Australian police officer charged with murdering Aboriginal teen
Officer charged with one count of murder after 19-year-old man shot during attempted arrest in Northern Territory town.
Australian police on Wednesday charged an officer with murder after widespread protests over the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old Aboriginal man in front of his family.
The incident occurred on Saturday when police said they attempted to arrest Kumanjayi Walker for "alleged property and assault police offences" in the remote town of Yuendumu.
According to the force's account, an altercation occurred and an officer who was stabbed in the shoulder "discharged his firearm".
Walker later died at a police station, where his family alleged he was denied adequate medical treatment.
"A 28-year old male Northern Territory police officer has been charged with one count of murder," police said in a statement.
Walker was the second Aboriginal person to die in police custody in as many months.
His death prompted rallies across Australia after family members and activists called for a "National Day of Action" on Wednesday.
"We want justice for what they done, being shot in cold blood in front of the mother and wife," said Valerie Napaljarri Martin, a senior member of the same Warlpiri community as Walker.
"Our black lives matter," she said before the demonstrations. "It's gone beyond too far."

The different textures of marble allow it to fit in with the varying trends in architecture and interior design.
Polished This most characteristic of finishes achieves a peerless, light-reflecting effect in which objects look at themselves as in a mirror. Honed The stone achieves greater individuality and eminence when given this finish. It provides a smooth surface with low-key reflection. Aged The surface is somewhat irregular. The texture produced by this special treatment enhances the stone's natural properties and reinforces the aesthetics of its seams. It produces a slightly irregular surface. Bush Hammered The product that results from this finish is rough in appearance and rugged to the touch, making it more resilient when used outdoors.This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.
In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the --return-values parameter.
Unless you specify conditions, the delete-item is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.
Conditional deletes are useful for only deleting items if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, Amazon DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.
delete-item
--table-name <value>
--key <value>
[--expected <value>]
[--return-values <value>]
[--return-consumed-capacity <value>]
[--return-item-collection-metrics <value>]
The name of the table from which to delete the item.
A map of attribute names to AttributeValue objects, representing the primary key of the item to delete.
JSON Syntax:
{"string": {
"S": "string",
"N": "string",
"B": blob,
"SS": ["string", ...],
"NS": ["string", ...],
"BS": [blob, ...]
}
...}
A map of attribute/condition pairs. This is the conditional block for the delete-item operation. All the conditions must be met for the operation to succeed.
--expected allows you to provide an attribute name, and whether or not Amazon DynamoDB should check to see if the attribute value already exists; or if the attribute value exists and has a particular value before changing it.
Each item in --expected represents an attribute name for Amazon DynamoDB to check, along with the following:
- Value - The attribute value for Amazon DynamoDB to check.
- Exists - Causes Amazon DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting a conditional operation: * If Exists is true , Amazon DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the operation succeeds. If it is not found, the operation fails with a ConditionalCheckFailedException .
- If Exists is false , Amazon DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the operation succeeds. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the operation fails with a ConditionalCheckFailedException .
The default setting for Exists is true . If you supply a Value all by itself, Amazon DynamoDB assumes the attribute exists: You don't have to set Exists to true , because it is implied.
Amazon DynamoDB returns a ValidationException if:
- Exists is true but there is no Value to check. (You expect a value to exist, but don't specify what that value is.)
- Exists is false but you also specify a Value . (You cannot expect an attribute to have a value, while also expecting it not to exist.)
If you specify more than one condition for Exists , then all of the conditions must evaluate to true. (In other words, the conditions are ANDed together.) Otherwise, the conditional operation will fail.
JSON Syntax:
{"string": {
"Value": {
"S": "string",
"N": "string",
"B": blob,
"SS": ["string", ...],
"NS": ["string", ...],
"BS": [blob, ...]
},
"Exists": true|false
}
...}
Use --return-values if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were deleted. For delete-item , the valid values are:
- NONE - If --return-values is not specified, or if its value is NONE , then nothing is returned. (This is the default for --return-values .)
- ALL_OLD - The content of the old item is returned.
--return-consumed-capacity (string)
If set to TOTAL , ConsumedCapacity is included in the response; if set to NONE (the default), ConsumedCapacity is not included.
--return-item-collection-metrics (string)
If set to SIZE , statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set to NONE (the default), no statistics are returned..


The Burning Bush is one of the most powerful images in all of the religious and literary works in the history of man.
The idea of Moses wandering through the desert and coming upon God in the form of a flaming bush that was not consumed by the fire is one that I find myself
returning to often. The concept of a wanderer in the desert receiving divine inspiration, knowledge, and purpose is a beautiful one.
