On social software: I came across the term "Folksonomy" (referring to the categorisation of resources using tags in a flat namespace) for the first time. And my favourite Folksonomist, Flickr, "...get that that connection is meaningful, exceedingly meaningful, and if you can leverage that behavior, you can provide an experience orders of magnitude more interesting than when you ignore that connectedness."
More on the importance of social networks: "As physical space gets annotated with digital layers we will need some means of quickly sorting through the pile of bytes at the location to get a handful that we can skim through."

|
Creates a new cached component effect. After creation, add the effect to the Desktop.
|
|
|
Increases a reference count by one.
|
|
|
Cancels the effect. Cancelled effects are not executed anymore. The desktop calls cancel(DrawingContext) next time it processes events and then destroys it automatically. |
|
|
Performs operations for one frame, advancing the effect by the frame time. Afterwards, the effect issues whether it is complete now.
Reimplemented from Effect. |
|
|
Performs operations for one frame, advancing the effect by the frame time. If the remaining time of the effect's total time is less than the frame time, only the remaining time is passed to this method, and the end() method is called. If both methods return true, the execute() method is called again with the remainder of the frame time.
Reimplemented from ComponentEffect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the elapsed time in milli seconds for the effect. If the effect is repetitive, this is the elapsed time for this loop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the application (or game) defined data. Typically, there is an object that contains application data that corresponds to this graphical element. This object (or raw data) is stored here. Glaziery will not perform any operation on it, but you can use it to identify application objects for given event targets (such as components).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the portion of the elapsed time to the total time, maybe translated by a time curve. This value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.
|
|
|
Returns the remaining time in milli seconds for the effect. If the effect is repetitive, this is the remaining time for this loop.
|
|
|
Returns the skin specific settings and other skin data. The skin data is managed by the skin. If you want to implement a skin independent application (or game), do not use this object outside the skin. However, if you know which skin is in use and you require to read or write special property, you may cast this object to the respective type. This object may be NULL, if the skin does not need to store any data.
|
|
|
Returns the time curve in use. Translates the progress ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 to another value starting from 0.0, ending in 1.0, allowing acceleration and any other type of time curve. May be NULL, indicating to use a linear time curve.

TREES LOUNGE (1996) A film review by Nick Schaden Copyright 1997 Nick Schaden
Steve Buscemi. The name instantly brings breathtaking scenes from "Fargo" and "Reservoir Dogs", always playing the same kind of fast talking style that I've come to love. Admittedly, if it weren't for this talented actor I doubt I would have ever rented "Trees Lounge", mainly due to the somewhat offbeat plot that the movie appeared to contain. However, I went out on a limb and gave the movie a shot - I'm very pleased I did.
"Trees Lounge" follows the life of Tommy (Steve Buscemi) in his day to day life. As we learn, Tommy doesn't have stable employment, has broken up long ago with his girlfriend and much of the rest of his family. Most of his time is spent drinking in the rotting Trees Lounge, a burned out bar mostly filled with other "losers" like Tommy. Interestingly enough, while the plot has a few twists and turns, it stays very simple, just showing us the slow downward spiral that Tommy has fallen into.
No, while many of you out there have the image of "Leaving Las Vegas" in your head, this is not that kind of movie. Director Steve Buscemi (his first time in the director's seat) throws plenty of straight and black humor in the mix. Scenes with Tommy's father having a heart attack or watching Buscemi driving an ice cream truck are portrayed wonderfully and add to plenty of laughs. It's almost as though Buscemi wants us to cry and laugh at Tommy's burned out character simultaneously. That, in a sense, is what made me like "Trees Lounge" so much. The plot is very original, and while slow (a problem at times) the movie draws the viewer in. I don't think I've ever cared more about some burned out man's life as I did about Buscemi's character.
To boot, Buscemi does a wonderful job in fulfilling his role. The final scene of the movie comes distinctly to mind. If you watch Tommy closely, you can see him really pondering his life's direction. Will he just give up all hope and continue in self-pity and loathing until death? Or, will he pick up the pieces of his life and start anew? Either way, it's a thought provoking question that stayed in my mind.
Overall, while the plot gets a little too slow and ambiguous at times, it's very original and captivating. Check "Trees Lounge" out, it's a winner.

Simple Acne Treatment Tips
Gentle acne treatment can prevent your pimples from worsening and reduce future breakouts. If you have acne, you're among more than 70 million people in the United States who have suffered from this skin condition at some time in their lives. It is so common that acne affects about 80 percent of Americans 20 to 30 years old. During the teenage years, acne is more common in boys than in girls, but in adults it's more common in women.
Despite the fact that it's so commonplace, there are many misconceptions about acne, says Guy Webster, MD, PhD, a clinical professor of dermatology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and founder of the American Acne and Rosacea Society.
Whether you call it acne, pimples, or zits, in order to treat the condition, it's important to understand the causes:
Clogged pores and bacteria: In your teens, the glands in the skin begin secreting sebum, an oily substance. This normally comes out through the pores, but in some people, sebum clogs up in the pores, allowing a bacterium, called P. acnes, to begin to grow.
Hormones: In your teen years, hormones start changing and affecting your body, including causing acne. This also happens during pregnancy, which explains why pregnant women or women having their periods often have acne breakouts. Hormones released during stressful times can also cause acne.
Genetics: You may be more likely to develop acne if your parents had acne when they were younger.
The Right Acne Treatment
There are many ways to take care of acne, depending on what causes it and how bad it is. Moderate and severe acne usually needs acne treatment recommended by a doctor, but mild acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and a few pimples can usually be treated at home.
Dr. Webster says one big misconception is that acne is caused by dirty skin. "The goal is not to scrub acne away," he says. "If you scrub, you're taking off skin, and there's a reason for the skin being there." Skin is a protective barrier.
Here are some tips that Webster shares with people who have acne:
And what should you stay away from?
Acne Treatment: Other Tips
Other tips to keep acne from getting worse:
When Should I See a Doctor for Acne Treatment?
According to Webster, if the pimples are leaving scars or if your treatment isn't working, then it's time to see a family doctor or dermatologist.
And while acne is a bummer, it doesn't have to take over your life; take action and take control of your skin.

The BrowserMap client-side detection library thinks your device type is UNIDENTIFIED??, which is part of the NOT FOUND?? device group.
BrowserMap is a JavaScript browser features detection library. It uses modular probes and code snippets that detect specific features of the client, which can then be grouped in a simple way to create device groups. By identifying the client type, BrowserMap can help optimize page rendering or it can provide the client with alternate representations of the current page.
The following is a list of the device groups BrowserMap is capable of identifying. To override the detected device groups you can use the
device
GET
request parameter. To showcase this behaviour, you can click on any device group name from below:
To reset the override, you need to call BrowserMap.removeOverride()

22. Recursion
The factorial function ! is commonly defined
by the statement that factorial n is n times
factorial n-1 , and by the further
statement that factorial 0 is 1 .
Such a definition is called recursive, because the
function being defined recurs in its definition.
A case statement can be used to make a recursive definition,
the case that employs the function under definition being
chosen repeatedly until the terminating case is encountered.
For example:
factorial=: 1:`(]*factorial@<:) @. *
factorial "0 i.6
1 1 2 6 24 120
Note that 1: denotes the constant function whose result
is 1 .
In the sentence (sum=: +/) i.5 the verb defined by the
phrase +/ is assigned a name before being used,
but in the sentence +/ i.5 it is used anonymously.
In the definition of factorial above, it was essential
to assign a name to make it possible to refer to it within the definition.
However, the word $: provides self-reference
that permits anonymous recursive definition. For example:
1:`(]*$:@<:) @. * "0 i. 6
1 1 2 6 24 120
In the Tower of Hanoi puzzle, a set of n discs (each
of a different size) is to be moved from post A to post B
using a third post C and under the restriction that a larger
disc is never to be placed on a smaller. The following is a
recursive definition of the process:
h=<EMAIL_ADDRESS>c=: 1: < [
b=: 2&,@[ $ ]
p=: <:@[ h 1: A. ]
q=: 1: h ]
r=: <:@[ h 5: A. ]

Territorial turkey chases Wisconsin mail carrier every day
by Ben HooperNov. 20 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin mail carrier said a territorial turkey has been chasing him through a neighborhood every day for about a month.
Jeff Byrne, who has worked for the U.S. Postal Service for more than 20 years, said the wild turkey has been greeting him in the Allen Lane area of Waukesha every day and chasing after his truck.
"For the last month, he's been pretty consistent with being out here every day," Byrne told WTMJ-TV.
Byrne said he isn't sure why the turkey is targeting him.
"Not sure if it's the color of the truck. Not sure what he really likes," Byrne said.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said male turkeys are known to become aggressive and territorial during the mating season. Experts said the turkey also might be incensed by the bright lights on Byrne's trucks.
Byrne said he might try an air horn to scare the turkey off if it persists in chasing him.

Typed Lua extends Lua with an optional type system, allowing the use of both static and dynamic typing in the same code base, while preserving existing Lua run-time semantics. It achieves that by introducing optional type annotations and applying local type inference. This richer type system not only enforces stronger program behavior guarantees, but also facilitates the development of more powerful developer tools.
Programmers nowadays expect that their editors/IDEs suggest accurate completion candidates, perform asynchronous - as you type - error checking and support type queries such as "go to definition" or "find all references". The main goal of the project was to add such features for Typed Lua in a wide range of popular editors. Furthermore, we investigated a design for a modern, asynchronous editor plugin architecture for the vis editor system itself.
Marc's project for GSoC 2017 is available here.
Marc's feedback for GSoC: "GSoC allowed me to participate in the wider FLOSS community. As an example I was able to give a talk about vis at the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) Switzerland congress."
Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) are an expressive formalism for the design and implementation of top-down parsers with local backtracking. LPeg is a tool that provides an implementation of PEGs for Lua, while LPegLabel is an extension of LPeg with some facilities for error reporting and recovery.
The goal of this project was to build a parser generator on top of LPegLabel. This new tool should make the description of commom idioms easier and error reporting more automatic.
Ben's project is described here.
Ben's feedback: "This project has been an absolute blast and very different to anything I've ever programmed before. Usually when writing a program, I immediately know what approach I can take, so I spend most of the time just writing and testing the code. For this project, programming was way more interesting, as I would spend hours just trying to figure out algorithms that would achieve the necessary task"
Strava is a popular social network for athletes that we can use to track cycling, running or swimming activities and share them with our connections. The Strava V3 API is publicly available and developers can use it to access Strava's dataset for creating custom applications. As an example, RELIVE.cc gets your latest Strava ride and creates a movie of your ride that is played with Google Earth 3D.
The aim of this project was to create a Strava library for Lua, making it possible to create Strava applications with Lua.
This project's results can be found here.
CGILua is a tool for creating dynamic Web pages and manipulating input data from Web forms. One of the advantages of CGILua is its abstraction of the underlying Web server. CGILua can be used with a variety of Web servers and, for each server, with different launchers. A launcher is responsible for the interaction of CGILua and the Web server, for example mod_lua on Apache.
WSAPI is an API that abstracts the web server from Lua web applications, providing a set of helper libraries to deal with request processing and output buffering. This project reimplemented the SAPI launcher in order to explore WSAPI fully, thus improving the performance and simplifying maintenance.
João's work has already been merged into the CGILua project!
This project consisted of developing new interrupt-based drivers for Céu-Arduino, in order to replace current functions and libraries which freeze the application while executing.
The drivers developed were: Analog to Digital Conversion and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
Guilherme's work has already been merged into the Céu-Arduino repository!
Terra is a system based on a tiny virtual machine and combines a reactive scripting language with a set of customized components. Terra uses Céu-T as its scripting language and implements a component-based virtual machine VM-T to be customized for different application domains.
The aim of this project was to port Terra Virtual Machine VM-T to Android devices, enabling interoperability of Android devices with others devices running Terra.
The project developed for GSoC is described here.

About
The US Presidential Election is Tuesday, November 3 2020.
To help keep you informed, this website will be updated daily to include information on election relevant -- meaning topical issues (e.g. prision abolition) as well as election specific -- news, events, and calls to action.
Feedback is expected, wanted, and continuously appreciated.
Why a digest?
Why not? This project is greatly inspired by the awesome work of Matt Kisher's WTF Just Happened Today. Unlike Matt's work, this digest is diliberately progressive, left learning, and unapologetic in its position of it.
Values of this project
- Accountability - we all have a hand in this
- Transparency - how this content is shared will be tied back to original sources
- Leave things better than how we arrived - yup, basically we all need to step up and do the work, no one gets a cookie because they tweeted a thing that one time
Contribute Content
What To Do Today US Election 2020 is all open source and managed on GitHub. If you'd like to contribute content including news, events, or call to action open an issue using the issue template. You can also obtain this content via Tiny Letter.
Thanks for all you do
You are not alone. We matter. We can do this. But, we need to show up daily. Working together.
This project is an ever evolving labor of love maintained by Lorena Mesa.


“You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
They called me the hyacinth girl.”
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
Od’ und leer das Meer.
Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
Had a bad cold, nevertheless
Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,
With a wicked pack of cards.

'This guy': Buttigieg takes flak for 2017 picture at Holocaust Memorial
by John GagePete Buttigieg is taking flak for a resurfaced 2017 photo that depicts him at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.
Buttigieg's husband, Chasten Buttigieg, posted the image of the South Bend mayor posing at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, captioning the photo, "This guy."
Many on Twitter ripped the Buttigiegs for that picture that some said was disrespectful to Holocaust victims. Others pointed out that taking pictures at the memorial is a common occurrence, but still disrespectful.
The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin is not the only memorial where posing for a photo is considered inappropriate. The Auschwitz Memorial has criticized tourists who take photos of themselves balancing on the railroad tracks in front of the death camp.
The Washington Examiner did not immediately receive comment from either the Buttigieg campaign or the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

Now that it's hot, it is finally starting to feel like summer. Come enjoy some fun in the sun up here at the Garden!
It is clear where this tree gets its name of Smoke Tree from! You can see it in the Rose Garden.
This Utah native provides nectar to many butterflies, and the leaves are a source of food for Monarch butterfly larvae (Caterpillars). Take a look at it along the Floral Walk.
If you like to pollinator watch, this is a good plant to keep your eyes on. It can 'bee' found in the Rose Garden.
Taxonomy fun fact: See how there are three petals on this flower, that is a sure sign that it is a monocot. Flowering plants are divided into two different groups, monocots and dicots. The term monocot means it has only one "seed leaf," termed cotyledon. The other group, dicot, has two "seed leafs." Another clue that this is a monocot is its parallel leaf veination. Examples of other monocots are Orchids and Grasses. You can see this plant along the Floral Walk.
With its flowers so white, in the sunlight, this bush looks as if it is glowing! Look for it along the Floral Walk.
Put on your shades and sunblock and come enjoy what summer has to offer here at the Garden!

Nanoelectronics encompasses nanoscale circuits and devices including (but not limited to) ultra-scaled FETs, spin devices, superlattice arrays, quantum coherent devices, molecular electronic devices, and carbon nanotubes. Over the past four decades, electronic components have grown more powerful as the transistor, has shrunk in dimensions by several factors. However, the laws of quantum mechanics, and the limitations of materials and fabrication techniques are making it very difficult for further reduction in the minimum size of today's semiconductor transistors. Researchers have projected that as the overall size of the bulk-effect, semiconductor transistor is aggressively miniaturized to approximately 0.1 micron (i.e., 100 nanometers) and beyond the devices may no longer function as well. Thus, in order to continue the miniaturization of integrated circuits well into the next century, it is likely that present day, micron-scale microelectronic device designs will be replaced with new designs for devices that take advantage of the quantum mechanical effects that dominate on the much smaller, nanometer scale. (Note that 1 nanometer, abbreviated nm, is one billionth of a meter or 10 atomic diameters.) The nanoelectronic devices are subdivides into two broad areas, as follows: i. Solid-state quantum-effect nanoelectronic devices ii. Molecular electronic devices

Released in the same year as Youtube and Facebook, and just after the first season of The Apprentice foisted Donald Trump onto the world, 2005’s Idiocracy has become a sort of culty shorthand reference point for today’s ills. At the time, it was a famous flop. Now, it is regarded as a cultural soothsayer.
The movie depicts - hilariously - the USA, 500 years in the future, where society is so reliant on automated technology that independent thought is no longer needed. The world is barely functioning yet placates itself on a diet of fast food, sexualised omni-#content, and branded-everything.
Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph play an Joe, an amiable but lazy soldier who ranks at exactly the peak of the bell curve in every army test, and Rita, a sex worker who, in the hoary (geddit?!) old movie tradition, has street smarts and a heart of gold beneath her steely exterior.

Adult Intelligence - ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Idiocracy’s central premise has been criticised by some people who believe that by depicting dumb people reproducing faster than smart people and as a consequence, creating a world of dumbasses, the movie thus advocates for, erm, eugenics.

Joe’s utterly average 2005-era intelligence means that, in 2505, he can ace the most advanced intelligence tests - “if you have bucket that holds two gallons, and another that holds five gallons, how many buckets do you have?” - and is thus declared the most intelligent human on earth.
There is an uncomfortable truth lurking in the movie’s main idea: studies show that poverty, social background and the existing education levels of parents have a measurable effect on the literacy skills of their children: underinvestment in education to the people who need it most has a sad cascading effect through the generations.
Today, American adults have a low (and declining) reading proficiency, with 21 percent of adults in the U.S. reading below a 5th grade level. The sole positive of this utterly depressing fact is that the egos of these people will not be damaged by the withering analysis of one journalist - “about one in seven [American adults] are saddled with such low literacy skills that it would be tough for them to read anything more challenging than a children's picture book” - as they probably won’t be able to read the article.
And money does not alway equate to being smart. According to his own staff, President Trump is “an idiot” who has the actions and understanding of “a fifth or sixth grader.”. But we’ll discuss President Very Stable Genius more (much, much more) later…
TV and Advertising - ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Idiocracy’s 2505 is a world of ultra-powerful brands and media who have complete control over the thoughts of humanity. TV channels include The Masturbation Network™ - “Keeping America ‘Bating For 300 Years.” Magazines include “Hot Naked Chicks and World Report”, a publication with the headline “SHIT SUCKS,” and a list of issue highlights that reads like today’s XXX website keywords: “Chicks, sex, naked, world, sex, hot, report, chicks.”
On TV, the highest-rated show is “Ow My Balls” and features exactly what you would expect: a man repeatedly suffering testicular trauma in increasingly ludicrous ways (falling from a balcony onto telephone wires, legs akimbo, before being bitten by a dog, and then hit in the groin by a wrecking ball, etc).
(This writer, having spent hundreds of hours watching Jackass, is happy to admit that he is in no position to either condemn “Ow My Balls” or even suggest that he would not be keen to watch the “Ow My Balls” box set; and furthermore, he notes with interest that on Youtube, videos with titles like “2017 Funniest Nut Shot Montage” videos regularly rack up hundreds of thousands of views.)
Meanwhile, advertising and branding are all-pervasive, leveraging their wealth into ever-influential positions, and have simultaneously dumbed down in order to appeal to the public’s most base impulses. FedEx is now the adult-oriented FedExxx, TGI Fridays has become TJO’Handjobs and restaurant chain Fuddruckers is, with an amusing yet shuddering inevitably, now known as ButtFuckers.
One wonders what the future holds for the Federal University of Santa Catarina’s Institute of Oriental Studies.
Above, The actual logo for Federal University of Santa Catarina’s Institute of Oriental Studies
In Idiocracy, brands have made inroads into people’s subconscious. Gatorade-like drink Brawndo - “the Thirst Mutilator” - has become so pervasive that not only has it replaced fresh water (drinking fountains are plumbed to a Brawndo supply, farms sprinkle Brawndo over crops), but the brand’s slogan - “It’s got electrolytes” is a default response to any challenge to Brawndo’s authority, with Joe’s requests for drinking water being met with quizzical looks and exclamations of “Water? Like out of the toilet?”
Today’s brands are not beyond embracing stupidity to re-vitalise their products, and current trends in food product idiocy seem to centre around combining unhealthy things, in defiance of health, taste and reason.
KFC, in an attempt to make a burger dumb enough to engage a demographic of people racing to get heart disease, created the 600+ calorie Double Down, a burger where the bread is replaced with fried chicken. When launched, KFC sold 10 million of them in just over a month.
And while its life was mercifully brief, the Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick was a very real thing that could be bought in supermarkets across America.
It’s hard not to conclude that brands have take over in 2018. In a time where being an Instagram Influencer is a highly desirable “job”, people are behaving like brands. Brands, on the other hand, behave like people, in order to connect in an artificially #relatable way. Fast food outlet Denny’s is now tweeting stuff like this which manages to combine social media, deliberate vitality, high-fructose corn syrup, and a LOL, WTF ¯_(ツ)_/¯ take on society’s woes, all wrapped up in one monetisable, KPI-busting advert.
Politics ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Sadly, this is the simplest comparison of all, and it’s the most depressing. Let’s keep this brief and then we can move on.
In Idiocracy, the democratically elected Commander In Chief is President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, a former pro wrestler and porn star, who rules autocratically on the whims of his pumped-up ego, and has surrounded himself with yes-men and women with large breasts.
In 2018, the democratica… oh, do we even need to do this joke? Let’s just note that the only difference is that, until the emergence of the hotly-anticipated Pee Tape, we can’t full qualify Donald Trump as a porn star, but his attitude towards women is of a similar level of reprehensibility as most mainstream porn, and his predilection for adult movie stars, like 2018’s true queen, Stormy Daniels, is well documented.
Other similarities are similarly exasperating. In 2505, the Secretary of Energy is a teenage boy who won a contest to get the job. Given that President Trump appointed Rick Perry as head of the Department of Energy - a man who could not remember the department’s name, is a climate change sceptic, and doesn’t seem to know what the department actually does - maybe a horny teenage idiot would be a better choice.
Finally, in the movie, “the Brawndo Corporation simply bought the FDA and the FCC enabling them to say, do, and sell anything they wanted,” and in a USA where food companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars lobbying regulators to shape food guidelines that leave health experts exasperated, this notion does not feel too far from the truth either.
Urgh. Five stars.
Automation and identity ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Idiocracy depicts a near-fully automated world, which has lead to people becoming so reliant on technology, they can’t figure things out for themselves.
Let’s be clear - today’s American adults are not this clinically stupid, despite plenty of evidence from the emptiest vessels on social media. But US adults do compare badly to the international average in a series of intelligence tests.. Most interestingly, this low score is a trait of number of highly-technologically-reliant societies: the more you rely on tech, the less you need to use your brain. Once again, your parents were right: all that TV really is rotting your brain.
Back in 2505, and full automation means that all adults need to be registered to a central network, and people can be recognised by machine scanning their unique barcode tattoos. Joe, hesitating while undergoing the registration process, becomes permanently and officially renamed Not Sure.
Today, in China, where facial recognition technology is near-universal, hundreds of millions of CCTV cameras watch and recognise everyone, tracking and predicting their every move. In one experiment, a BBC journalist lasted just seven minutes “on the run” from police, who tracked him down and intercepted him almost immediately.
Being known universally as “Not Sure” is probably a preferable life than one in which you are living in an open prison.
OVERALL: 3.75 ⭐ out of 5
Idiocracy’s supposed prescience is actually a fairly simple extrapolation of the corrosive effects of hyper-branding, invasive advertising, style over substance, and race-to-the-bottom media content that were already obvious in the pre-social media era in which it was made. At the time of release, reviews noted these hysterically surreal extrapolations with a kind of wry distance, but in a post-social-media world where it really does feel like attention is being doled out to the loudest and most controversial idiots, it’s easy to see why Idiocracy has gained a reputation as a societal warning.
For those concerned by the presence of President Trump nudging soft toys around in the White House play-pen, the movie actually offers a route out of the madness.
Maybe Idiocracy is a useful analogy after all…

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS A film review by Craig Gustafson Copyright 1998 Craig Gustafson
RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
For a movie reviled by Serious Film Critics, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is quite good. This adaptation of the classic Hunter S. Thompson novel about a drug-saturated search for the American Dream in 1971 Las Vegas (height of the Nixon era), has long been considered unfilmable.
Journalist Raoul Duke and his foreign ("probably Samoan") attorney, Dr. Gonzo, spend a weekend in Vegas, ostensibly to cover first a motorcycle race, then a District Attorneys convention on the Evils of Drugs. In reality, they are there to find out if the lifestyle of the sixties has a chance of survival in the seventies. And where better to ask the question than the Playground of the Nixon Generation?
The main question of the American Dream is perhaps even more pertinent now in an era when frankly speaking one's mind can land one in court to sit and ruminate on the heinous offense of "misusing" Freedom of Speech to actually Offend Someone.
Johnny Depp is brilliant as Raoul Duke. His is a dead-on performance that perfectly embodies Duke's curiosity as to just how far society will allow him to go before he is slapped into jail. His strongest moment, however, points up a weakness in the film:
In the scene where the out-of-control Dr. Gonzo threatens a burned-out shrew of a waitress (Ellen Barkin) with a very large knife, Barkin shines. She is heart-breaking in the small role of a tough dame who bites off a bit more than she can chew.
But watch Depp's eyes.
He is at once embarrassed, discovering that perhaps there is a line not to be crossed, and filled with pity for the woman. AND, on top of all that, he seems appalled and frightened to find these feelings within himself. It is masterful film acting. This complexity, amply displayed in the book, is seen only in this one scene.
Terry Gilliam's direction is perfect for both the historical and hallucinatory ambiences of the film. We are in a Las Vegas that exists both in the "Foul Era of Nixon" and in a territory that freely embraces people morphing into literal lounge lizards and carpets that rapidly fill with blood. The point of the book that Las Vegas in itself is a bad trip is well realized.
As Dr. Gonzo, Benicio del Toro is adequate. He is most effective when the Samoan loose cannon is called upon to be quietly, homicidally dangerous. But his mumbling does not delineate the rampaging monster of the book.
High points include the faithfulness to the source material. The high volume of narration, while Frowned Upon by critics, is literate, compelling and funny. A love of the language is evident. There is also a rousing atmosphere of Spot the Cameo: appearances are made by, among others, Katherine Helmond, Cameron Diaz, Gary Busey, Penn Jillette and, hysterically, the real Hunter S. Thompson.
Low points: Gary Busey's scene as a highway cop. I won't reveal what happens, but the comic point is lost: that Duke, when confronted by a non-stereotypical cop who treats him like a human being, is at a complete loss on how to deal with the situation. The Debbie Reynolds scene disappoints, probably due to budget considerations; Ms. Reynolds, however, graciously supplies her own voice for a scene that, in the book, made venomous fun of her.
A bit more problematically, the movie runs out of gas near the end. There is no real way to wrap up a plotless movie. The only thing you can do when the ride is over is to get out of the car. But the ride is terrific, for the most part. And with the top down, it's a breath of fresh air in our land of "Lost in Space" and "Godzilla."

March 6
When he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers to sing to the Lord and praise Him in their holy [priestly] garments as they went out before the army, saying, Give thanks to the Lord, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever!
2 Chronicles 20:21
Praise precedes victory!
You can see a graphic example of that in 2 Chronicles 20. There, the Bible tells us that a multitude of forces were marching against Israel. The army of Israel was so outnumbered, they literally didn't know what to do. So they fasted and prayed until they received a word from God. "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God's."
Do you know what they did in response to that word? They put together a praise choir! That's right.  And when that choir began to sing, the Word tells us that "the Lord set ambushments against the men...who had come against Judah, and they were slaughtered."
When it was all over, not one Israelite had fallen--and not one of their enemies had escaped. What's more, when they came to take the spoil, they found so many cattle, goods, garments and other precious things, it took them three whole days to haul it all home.
Now, that's victory! And it all began with praise.
Are you looking for that kind of victory today? Then stand up and shout, "Glory!" After all, you're in the same situation those Israelites were in. You have an army marching against you, but Jesus has already defeated it. He won that battle for you on Resurrection Morning.
All that's left for you to do is trust Him and begin to praise. Sound out those praises today. Speak them, sing them, declare them in the face of your enemy. Once he hears them, he'll know he doesn't even stand a chance.
Scripture Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:1-22

Which three sources of return does David Swensen outline for both individual as
well as institutional investors?
(More than one answer may apply.)
Points = 2.0
Asset allocation decision.
Market timing decision.
Security selection decision.
Overweight Ford, and underweight GM.
2
.
David Swensen describes the returns of the strategy of investing into an asset class,
taking whatever income was generated from that income and reinvesting it into the
same asset class between 1925 and 2009. Order the returns of the following asset
classes from smallest to largest return, according to the numbers reported in Stocks,
Bonds, Bills, and Inflation.
(a) Treasury bonds.
(b) Small stocks.
(c) Equities.
(d) Treasury bills.
Points = 2.0

.
What were the criticisms that the Barron's article from November 2008 expressed about the Swensen Approach to portfolio management?
(More than one answer may apply.)
Points = 2.0
Lack of diversification.
The decision to allow Andrew Golden to leave the Yale portfolio and manage the Princeton portfolio.
Overemphasis on alternative investments.
David Swensen's decision to join President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
4
.
David Swensen looks at the distribution of returns for various asset classes in order to assess the market efficiency within these different asset classes. Order the following four classes according to the degree of their efficiency, according to David Swensen's analysis, from the least efficient to the most efficient.
(a) Real estate.
(b) Large cap (capitalization) stocks.
(c) Venture capital.
(d) Bond markets.
Points = 2.0
(Optional file upload)
5
.
What is the reason that David Swensen outlines for his neglect of the Sharpe-ratio as a measure of risk?
Points = 2.0
The Yale portfolio does not score high, when institutional portfolio are compared according to their Sharpe ratio.The Yale portfolio does not score high, when institutional portfolio are compared according to their Sharpe ratio.
He does not believe that the Capital Asset Pricing Model is a sensible investment model.
The Sharpe ratio involves the standard deviation of returns, which cannot be meaningfully assessed for various asset classes, e.g. real estate, or timber, or other illiquid asset classes.
He does not neglect the Sharpe-ratio, but is a strong advocate of its usage for the measurement of investment performance.

"In portraiture, you have the fleeting moment to capture the image as it passes and before it dissolves. And in a way, that’s special for photography. It captures the shadow of a moment, so to speak. " ~Allen Ginsberg

Click here to view my senior portrait flyer
When I was younger, i restricted myself to shooting only nature. I was , and in many ways still am, a very quiet, introverted person. It wasn't until I took a course from the New York Institute of Photography, and had to shoot a series of portraits for a project, that I realized how fun and rewarding portrait photography can be. There something special that comes from honest, genuine interaction with another living breathing human being. There is a back and forth dialog that happens, a dance of sorts, and when I can get beyond the shell of "say cheese" and let my clients true self show through, I know I've got a winner. Portrait sessions are exciting and uniquely challenging, and I find that challenge to make them even more rewarding.

1 “But now they laugh at me,
men who are younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
2 What could I gain from the strength of their hands,
men whose vigor is gone?
3 Through want and hard hunger
they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;
4 they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of the broom tree for their food.
5 They are driven out from human company;
they shout after them as after a thief.
6 In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,
in holes of the earth and of the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they bray;
under the nettles they huddle together.
8 A senseless, a nameless brood,
they have been whipped out of the land.
9 “And now I have become their song;
I am a byword to them.
10 They abhor me; they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
11 Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me,
they have cast off restraint in my presence.
12 On my right hand the rabble rise;
they push away my feet;
they cast up against me their ways of destruction.
13 They break up my path;
they promote my calamity;
they need no one to help them.
14 As through a wide breach they come;
amid the crash they roll on.
15 Terrors are turned upon me;
my honor is pursued as by the wind,
and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.
16 “And now my soul is poured out within me;
days of affliction have taken hold of me.
17 The night racks my bones,
and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.
18 With great force my garment is disfigured;
it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.
19 God has cast me into the mire,
and I have become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry to you for help and you do not answer me;
I stand, and you only look at me.
21 You have turned cruel to me;
with the might of your hand you persecute me.
22 You lift me up on the wind; you make me ride on it,
and you toss me about in the roar of the storm.
23 For I know that you will bring me to death
and to the house appointed for all living.
24 “Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,
and in his disaster cry for help?
25 Did not I weep for him whose day was hard?
Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
26 But when I hoped for good, evil came,
and when I waited for light, darkness came.
27 My inward parts are in turmoil and never still;
days of affliction come to meet me.
28 I go about darkened, but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.
29 I am a brother of jackals
and a companion of ostriches.
30 My skin turns black and falls from me,
and my bones burn with heat.
31 My lyre is turned to mourning,
and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.

Iterate in Shipyard development making it available as a standalone application and adding new functionalities.
The visualization and exploration of big multidimensional datasets is not an easy labor, this has great complexity in design and data processing. Navio is a visualization widget that allows to do the mentioned tasks, however, currently there is no easy to use tool released for using Navio without the need of software development knowledge.


Pokémon Team Planner
FAQ
- Are all Pokémon forms included?
-
Almost every Pokémon form is included in the planner. Some cosmetic and transient forms are hidden unless you select the "Misc. Forms" filter.
Forms of the following Pokémon are not in the planner: Pikachu, Genesect, Pumpkaboo, Gourgeist, Xerneas, Mimikyu, Cramorant, Sinistea, Polteageist, and Zarude.
- What are "Misc. Forms"?
-
This (unofficial and arbitrary) category encompasses most cosmetic forms (e.g., patterns of Vivillon or trims of Furfrou), forms of Arceus and Silvally, and battle-only forms (e.g., Ash-Greninja or Original Color Magearna).
These forms are initially hidden, but can be selected by activating the corresponding filter. The reason to hide them in the first place is to avoid clutter.
- Why are some gender differences not toggable?
-
Unlike other Pokémon with gender differences, Meowstic, Indeedee, and Basculegion have forms that are more than purely cosmetic changes. Such forms have different movepools, abilities, and/or stats. For this reason, they are treated as distinct Pokémon. Think of it as a similar case to that of Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂.
- How is the team analysis calculated?
-
Only type is used to calculate a Pokémon's weaknesses and resistanteces. Abilities (e.g., Levitate or Wonder Guard) are not factored in.
Similarly, coverage calculation only takes into account type and disregards movepool (so Pyukumuku will be marked as contributing to Water coverage, despite it being unable to learn any Water-type damaging moves).


Evaluating an Assistive-Feeding Robot with Users with Mobility Limitations
In this work, we explore user preferences for different modes of autonomy for robot-assisted feeding given perceived error risks and also analyze the effect of input modalities on technology acceptance.
Specifically, we tested: Speed(Fast vs. Slow), Interface (Web-based vs. Voice-based), Environment (Social vs. Individual), Level of Autonomy: (Full vs. Partial vs. Low)
Online Learning for Food Manipulation
This video shows how a robot can learn to skewer previously-unseen food items with different action distributions using online learning with a contextual bandit formulation.
Generalizing Skewering Strategies across Food Items
This video summarizes our work on SPANet framework and shows demonstrations of the robot’s skewering trials generalized across food items.

Bite Acquisition with Tactile Sensing
The video shows calibration of FingerVision and Fingertip GelSight sensors for food manipulation application. The sensitivity of the sensors increase with low gripping force. In addition, it shows a control policy using which a robot can change the range and sensitivity of these tactile sensors by controlling gripping forces.


Mysterious Wizard:
Did you finish your conversation?
Well, since I received this crystal in exchange for helping you, this has been a good day.
Ah, no worries, friend -- I am on your side, after all! I have no intention of turning you over to your enemies...
And now, I believe you must be going. You must find the man hiding in the Valley of Saints. Why not head in that direction for now?

Block is a method of Rocforjs (and R.Component too) that allows
creation of HTMLElement Block. It is created from a string parameter called blockString, this is a
group of tagstrings with a tab indentation; this is important. To create a Block HTMLElement all
Tag basis are applicable, so, in a blockString it is possible to send function callbacks, scope, rvars,
props and Markdown contents. In a Block, just one main Element can hold all child Elements, if sibling
Elements is sended, Block will wrap all into a div Element by default. In Block, each Element can
have child Elements. As in Tag, Block can be initialized using two ways, the indirect case (assignin Block
at any variable:
this.myBlock = this.Block()
), where Block will return an JS Object with a
method called createBlock. Or sending the blockString in the assignment in wich case Block
will return a new Block Object instance.
Example
// As in Tag, it is possible to declare a new variable assigning Block. (Note it is not important declare a new Block()).
class TestBlock extends R {
constructor (props) {
super(props)
this.myblock = this.Block() // Indirect assignment. Now is possible create a new Block Object in any method of current class.
console.log(this.myblock)
// Console will log:
{}
__proto__:
createBlock: ƒ (blockString, fn, scope, rvars, props)
__proto__: Object
}
}
// The direct way is sending blockString directly in assignment:
...
this.myblock = this.Block(
`Hello
World!`) // See how blockString is indented with a tab space and its tag name are ommited too.
consol.log(this.myblock)
// Console will log the Block Object instance returned by this.Block:
Block
block: div
blockchild: [{…}]
blockmain: {classlist: null, idlist: null, idDOM: null, tagstrings: {…}, child: null}
blockstrings: {blockstring: "div Hello↵ div World!", myblockString: "Hello↵ World!"}
classlist: null

Chapter 7 Making graphs in R
You might have had experience making graphs using Excel. However, making graphs with Excel is NOT recommended. This is because the defaults in Excel do not meet standards for good scientific graphs.
You can make very attractive, clean, professions graphs and figures in R. This chapter is a basic introduction to plot functions in R. More advanced users can use the package “ggplot” (see chatper XX in this manual) There are many good reference manuals for making sophisticated graphs (e.g., Murrell 2006; Mittal 2011).
In base R, the “plot” function simply looks to plot two data vectors “x” and “y”. For example if
x <- cbind(2,4,6,8,10) y <- cbind(10,20,30,40,50) plot(x,y)
Will give you a graph like this:
NOT THAT THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A GOOD FIGURE!
What’s missing?
- meaningufl x and y axis labels
- maybe it’s more appropriate to show this data connected with a line
- maybe you want the symbols to be a different shape or colour
You can address these issues with the plot function. Try using the help function to figure out what to do (refer to Chapter 4, “Getting help in R”, to recall how to use help files):

You’ll see there are a lot of argument options. First, let’s fix the axis labels.
plot(x,y, xlab = "temperature (degrees C)", ylab = "growth rate (cm)")
If you want to change the symbols, you use the pch function to change the style.
TIP you can make a little cheat sheet for pch codes using this code. Print it out and tape it up on your wall by your computer, or in the front of your notebook as a handy reference.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #generate a plot of point shapes which R knows about. #++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ generateRPointShapes<-function(){ oldPar<-par() par(font=2, mar=c(0.5,0,0,0)) y=rev(c(rep(1,6),rep(2,5), rep(3,5), rep(4,5), rep(5,5))) x=c(rep(1:5,5),6) plot(x, y, pch = 0:25, cex=1.5, ylim=c(1,5.5), xlim=c(1,6.5), axes=FALSE, xlab="", ylab="", bg="blue") text(x, y, labels=0:25, pos=3) par(mar=oldPar$mar,font=oldPar$font ) } generateRPointShapes()
So, let’s re-do the graph in Figure 9.1, but with filled triangles.
plot(x,y, pch = 17, xlab = "temperature (degrees C)", ylab = "growth rate (cm)")
And we get…
7.1 Other useful plot functions
The generic “plot” function makes a scatter plot, with variations.
For other types of plots, R has different functions, but all have similar arguments for adjusting the labels, spacing, tic marks, symbols, etc.

7.2 Getting a bit more sophisticated
It’s not hard to get more sophisticate with R graphics. The best approach is to explore one of the reference books listed to figure out how to do what you want to do.
One thing most undergrads will probably need or want to do is to visualize two sets of data on the same graph. For example, the goldfish data in the Appendix of the BIOL 1001 lab manual shows the opercular beats of two fish in response to temperature. It would be logical to show both fish on the same graph, but with different symbols. Here’s how you would do it:
```temp <- cbind(5, 8, 12, 16, 20, 23) #This creates the vecor of data for the x-axis fishA <- cbind(36, 42, 59, 73, 88, 96) #This creates the vector of data for Fish A fishB <- cbind(40, 49, 61, 71, 82, 90) #This creates the vector of data for Fish B
7.3 First we plot x and y with the “temp” vector as “x” and the “fishA” vector as y
plot(temp, fishA, pch = 17, xlab = “temperature (degrees C)”, ylab = “opercular beats (bpm)”)
7.4 Then to add a second vector of data (fishB) to the same plot, we use:
points(temp, fishB, pch = 17, col = “dimgray”)```
Voila!
Note that the difference in the two symbols is described in the caption. For most scientific journals it is preferred to describe the symbology in the caption, rather than use a legend. However, with more complex graphs, or for some publications, you may wish to include a legend. Legends can be a bit tricky to work with in R - we’ll leave those for a more advanced course.

Embracing the Ghanian culture
The Akan are a meta-ethnicity predominantly speaking Central Tano languages and residing in the southern regions of the former Gold Coast region in what is today the nation of Ghana. Akans who historically migrated from Ghana also make up a plurality of the populace in the Ivory Coast. The Akan language (also known as Twi/Fante) is a group of dialects within the Central Tano branch of the Potou–Tano subfamily of the Niger–Congo family.
Akan culture can also be found in the New World.A number of Akans were taken as captives to the Americas. Roughly ten-percent of all slave ships embarked from the Gold Coast. The primary source of wealth within Akan economy was gold. However as wars culminate in the region the capture and sale of Akan people peaked during the Fante and Ashanti conflicts (as both sides sold a large number of their captives) as prisoners of war.
You can be part of The Akan people and embrace their vast culture.By filling the form you can be able to know your Akan name.Please enter the required credentials:


Firstly, I'm impressed that an organisation like EDA even exists. Education has become such a business these days that it's hard to get over the idea that they just want your $11k and don't really care what happens to you when you're done. It's also difficult to abandon that "restaurant" mindset of wanting plenty of bang for your bucks, especially when it's so many bucks. But I guess mostly, the $11k figure just motivates me to do the best I can.
I love that that's important at EDA. I love that it's not about grades and tests and essays. I love that you don't have to be perfect at everything. I've always felt like a square peg in a round hole - in life in general, but also at school. Sitting in a class listening and taking notes and being graded on static output has never sat well with me. As for the culture of competitiveness, well. Let's just say I'm very much looking forward to participating in something more... enlightened.
My expectations of EDA haven't really changed. The culture was made explicit in the orientation material. But it's good to have watched the video and heard the ideas in it fleshed out. Now I'm nervous for sure - can I handle the personal effort required? Can I be the person I need to be? I reckon I can do some things well already - humility, empathy, integrity, self awareness. But can I tolerate frustration? Can I reflect well enough to really cement what I've learned? Can I be mindful and persistent?
The idea of pairing is new and a bit intimidating. I've always preferred working alone. But I realise it's more about those important 'soft skills', and I can always work on my in-the-moment articulation - I've always been better at expressing myself in written form rather than verbal. And I was terrible at timeboxing in my last job, so I'm looking forward to learning how to do that better.
This is all so new, and weird! But I reckon that's a good thing.
