Cardinal Pell gets last chance to appeal sex abuse convictions
CANBERRA: Disgraced Catholic Cardinal George Pell was handed a final chance to clear his name Wednesday (Nov 13), when Australia's top court agreed to allow his appeal of child abuse convictions.
The 78-year-old former Vatican treasurer is currently serving a six-year jail sentence for molesting two 13-year-old choirboys in a Melbourne cathedral in the 1990s, but continues to deny any wrongdoing.
In a statement that took less than a minute to read and gave no hint of the deep emotions stirred by Pell's case, Justice Michelle Gordon said Australia's High Court had granted Pell "special leave to appeal".
READ: Cardinal Pell's appeal decision set for Wednesday
The veteran judge said the case would "be referred to a full court of this court for argument".
No date was set for the appeal hearing, but it is not expected before 2020.
Pell is the most senior Catholic to be locked up as a swathe of child abuse cases against clergy around the world are brought.
Cathy Kezelman, president of victim support group the Blue Knot Foundation, said lengthening the legal process would only cause "further potential trauma" for the surviving victim and "many others who are watching and waiting".
The father of the second victim, who died of a drug overdose in 2014, said he was "gutted" by the High Court decision.
Sydney Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher welcomed the decision. "Many questions remain, and it is appropriate that these will be examined by our highest court," he said in a statement.
"For the sake of all involved in this case, I hope that the appeal will be heard as soon as possible."
A spokesperson for Pell said: "This matter is now still before the court and so we are unable to comment."
WHEELS OF JUSTICE
The case will now come before the full court of seven justices, who could decide to - in effect - reverse Wednesday's ruling, or allow the appeal to proceed. Their verdict will be final.
Pell had lost a previous attempt to overturn his convictions in Victoria state's Court of Appeal in August, but the judges split in a 2-1 in that landmark verdict.
Two of the judges said the sole surviving victim, a former choirboy now in his 30s was "very compelling" in his evidence and someone who "was a witness of truth".
The third judge, however, found the victim's account "contained discrepancies" and there was a "significant possibility" Pell did not commit the offences.
The cardinal's legal team argued that the majority judges applied an "erroneous judicial method" in upholding the jury's verdict that reversed the onus of proof onto him.
Pell and his supporters have staunchly maintained he did not commit the crimes, which came to light after one of the victims went to police when the other died of a drug overdose in 2014.
Pell, who once helped elect popes, was found guilty of abusing the two boys after catching them swigging from a bottle of sacramental wine in the sacristy following Sunday mass.
As the trial was conducted under a court-ordered veil of secrecy, the Vatican gradually removed him from top Church bodies with little explanation.
Pell is also facing multiple civil compensation suits, including from the father of the deceased choirboy.


Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. Remember, too, the case of the distressed pig, solved by Special Agent Blot. The distressed pig was found in a rowing boat crossing Tantarabim Lake. Agent Blot swam out to it and fed it with nutritious cake. As the pig grew becalmed Agent Blot took the oars and he rowed to the mud-splattered shore. He hoisted the pig right out of the boat and bedded it down in some straw.  Agent Blot dragged the pig farmer off to the prison, bang in the centre of town. And that is why, on November the fifth, the distressed pig did not drown.

Post
by Santa Maria, Steven * July 10, 2015
Hey development community!
my name is Steven Santa Maria, a local San Franciscan, Japanese sake enthusiast and budding coder. I started Dev Bootcamp this week with an introduction to the basics including how to use git, GitHub, command line navigation, Twitter and other tools. For those who are starting their journey into the world of coding like me, I thought I'd share some thoughts on some FAQ:
What are the benefits of version control?Version control allows collaborators to track changes and revert unwanted changes. Using git and GitHub are commonly used tools for version control.
How does git help you keep track of changes?Git is a version control system that's widely used in the dev community. As you 'add' and 'commit', git stores a log of changes for easy reference.
Why use GitHub to store your code?GitHub is a great and free tool to use if you want to use git collaboratively. It can be used to store code online, host websites like the one you're viewing and essentially get team members on the same page in terms of versioning!


I'd heard some good things about DOC, and had been interested in trying it. I consider myself an experienced user of entheogens and other mind-expanding substances, and have had only positive experiences previously.
Before now, I have used: Psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, Salvia Divinorum, Ecstasy, 2C-I, and 5MEO-DMT.
I have never, ever, had a 'bad trip.' I have had experiences that were challenging, but which always resulted in me working something out, or learning something. Normally, my experiences are extremely positive in feel, and very pleasurable throughout.
But I'd have to say my DOC experiences, while character-building perhaps, were less-than-glowing. I don't regret having had them, but I believe I'll refrain from ever using this substance again.
My first time, I'd just arrived in town after a long move. I was not in a bad mental state, particularly, but was a bit stressed from the move, and had some worries about whether I'd made good choices and had chosen well in where to live and what to do with the next year or so of my life. I'd basically taken a leap of faith, and while I'm used to doing that every few years, for some reason this time, I had more misgivings than normal.
I had not done any sort of hallucinogen in a long while, and when I showed up at my friend's place, he offered my SO and I some DOC to try. We each took two tabs, at about 11PM (I'm unsure what the dosage is in a tab). My SO and I had both had one alcoholic drink - I normally do not drink when I'm going to be doing anything else.
The friend who gave me the DOC left us for the night, so my SO, another friend who had helped us with the move, and I sat down to watch the Russian film, Nightwatch. I felt nothing in particular through the whole movie - it took a long time for the DOC to take noticeable effect. I didn't care for the film, but mostly because it just seemed a little dull and contrived and depressing. I didn't find it scary or anything.
Everyone had been up since early that morning (approx 9AM), and we didn't seem to be feeling any effect from the DOC (at about 1AM), and we were tired.  We'd been assured that people can sleep on DOC.
Well... as soon as my SO and friend were asleep, I began to feel lots of muscle twitches and some cramps, though no teeth-grinding. I couldn't fall asleep, but I seemed to be coming up, so I decided to try and enjoy it, or see if I could get something out of it.
Suddenly though, I began to feel incredibly lonely. Normally, I am fairly self-contained. I love the company of my loved ones, and people to talk to, but I usually don't _need_ it.
And then, all of my worries and concerns began to just magnify. Normally, when I'm under the influence of something, I recognize the beginnings of 'stinkin thinkin' and either think positive thoughts, or just focus on letting the unpleasant ones wash over me without resistance, clearing my mind and letting the unpleasantness pass me by. This is something I learned to do to combat depression (which I overcame years ago, before doing any entheogens), so it's second-nature to me.
Well... it didn't work. I just began to feel worse and worse. But I didn't want to wake anyone up and bother them. I'd been feeling like something of a burden on my loved ones for a while. I didn't want to let my burgeoning bad trip bring them down, or inconvenience them.
But I just continued to feel terrible. My surroundings seemed to be filled with an immense, negative energy. I don't really like cities, and I was in the heart of a big one. It felt like I was just surrounded by an immense storm of foulness and negativity, like I was in psychic cesspool.
I began to worry if the friend who'd given me the DOC, was not the person I thought - if I'd misjudged him, or placed my trust in the wrong person. At the same time, I felt incredibly bad for even considering that idea.
Note: When I say it felt like this, I'm not implying any actual metaphysical energy necessarily - I know I was tripping balls at this point. But it felt like that.
I went outside to smoke a cigarette and calm myself, see if I could get centered. Often, when I smoke, I make a short prayer, to all the directions, saying 'all my relations.' This usually gives me a feeling of connectedness, where I feel like a helper to others, and helped by others.
But to my surprise, I still felt terrible. I felt almost deserted.
My SO came out, around that point. Apparently, he'd woke up, and couldn't go back to sleep, and was tripping pretty well. I tried, for a while, to keep to myself, put on a nice face, and not contaminate his trip with my bad one.
Throughout all this, by the way, I kept having terrible muscle cramps and skin tics. If I concentrated on relaxing, they'd reduce in intensity, so I'm fairly sure that part of them was psychosomatic, because I'd heard it could cause aches and tics, and my bad trip was intensifying them.
Eventually though, I just had to break down and ask for help - worried, the whole time, that I'd drag my SO down into the same pit I was in, if I weren't careful.
No such bad luck though. He spent maybe half an hour to an hour - hard to say - talking me through the bad spot. I didn't really feel great, but I did feel an enormous weight lifted from me, and he got me through the worst of it, without ending up 'down' himself.
A short note: I'm a smoker (yeah, yeah, it's bad for me). But while on the DOC, every cigarette felt like I was breathing pure, unadulterated poison - but I still craved them intensely. It was very similar to how I feel if I try to smoke while on 2C-I, only more intense. Every smoke was a nightmare. I actually tried to quit smoking again the day after, and if I'd had more nicotine gum, think I might have succeeded.
We went to lie down and relax a bit. Things were a lot less terrible from that point, though I still had some physical discomfort and racing thoughts.
But then, lying there, we started cuddling a little, and kinda fooling around a little bit... and the physical sensations of pleasure rapidly became mind-blowing. We did not have full-on sex, but even just the heavy petting was so mind-numbingly fantastic it's hard to describe. During that time, it overwhelmed any negative physical effects (if I was still cramping or ticcing, I could not feel it), and I no longer felt any psychological negatives either. The closed-eye visuals and fantasizing were vivid and erotic and intensely beautiful. I'm sure I had about twelve orgasms.
After fooling around for _hours_, we finally tried to nod off again. My SO slept fitfully, but I mostly remained awake. The cramps began to feel like fever or flu cramps all over my entire body. I tossed and turned for hours, and could not getting physically comfortable.
However, sitting there bored and uncomfortable in body, but no longer really in mind, I decided to just poke around in my brain and see what I could find. I ended up finding a whole slew of my earliest memories as a small child. These were memories I simply hadn't looked at in ages - decades.
As an aside, I remember my early childhood with extraordinary clarity, and always have. I can remember my first birthday.
But I found a whole pile of old memories that were just waiting to have the dust blown off them. I replayed things that I used to think about when I was maybe two years old, as my brain was just getting the hang of perceiving, thinking, working. It was very much like finding a box of old, favorite toys, that I'd long outgrown, but remembered fondly. There was a faint feeling that somehow these memories were fragile, and that if I were too 'rough' in handling them, they'd become damaged somehow.
It felt as if, by 'reading' the memory, that there were processes that read by erasing and then re-writing, so I had to be slightly careful not to let the 'rewrite' process go poorly. At the same time, there was also an impression that my brain's 'backup' processes were very good at their job, and that I didn't need to be paranoid about it.
It felt a little bit like a 'behind the scenes' look at some of my brain - though I also had an impression that it was impossible to see everything going on with that, because it would be a little like trying to look into your own eye. :
I delved way back, much farther into memory, and discovered all sorts of things - it felt as if I could go all the way back almost to when the first neural paths were forming that became my physical consciousness. There were incredibly strange perceptions that I recognized as memories from before my eyes and ears were even good at having their data interpreted by my brain - it was like watching memories of my infant brain building itself, to become a vehicle for consciousness.
I remembered learning to talk, and to piece ideas together. I remember a time when I sort of had my own 'baby language' - sounds I attached to ideas, before I learned to necessarily attach the ideas to words that the people around me did.
I have no major doubt that all of these were real memories - my long term-memory and the way I seem to access it are well-known to me, and these did not feel like the vague 'fantasy' memories or 'the way I'd like to remember it' memories.
Unfortunately, I also ended up, eventually, getting stuck into a period of 'circling thoughts' for a while. When I was a young child, I went through a brief period of obsessive-compulsive behavior - where I'd have to turn a light switch on and off a dozen times before it felt 'right'... stuff like that. I'd long ago sort of 'Walled off' my mind from those little mental traps, but I kind of stumbled on what felt like this little encapsulated bit of obsessive-compulsiveness, and spent some hours just kind of worrying the same thoughts over and over again, until I got a handle on it. It seemed like I'd only crudely fixed the problem before, but now had an opportunity to fix it more elegantly and completely.
The next several hours were pretty much just come-down, very slowly. I did not reach baseline (or get to sleep!) until about 18 hours after taking the DOC.
I've heard from others that they had intense visuals. Other than a very surreal 'feel' to everything I saw after I came up, I had almost no visuals - except that complex surfaces seemed to become 'simplified.' Like, if I stared at the dirty concrete out back, it would seem to smooth over, unless I made an effort to look at the way it really looked. I had very few closed-eye visuals, as such, although when I attempted to fantasize, or visualize something it came _very_ clearly... more clearly than is normal for me either on or off a hallucinogen/entheogen.
I spent most of the day after the main part of the trip feeling strung-out, physically weary, mentally drained. I also felt like my heart was pounding, and physically exhausted - as bad as when I had pneumonia a long time ago. I have _never_ had a body load this severe, even after being awake much longer, or doing more X than I should have (though I only did that once - I'm careful with stuff like that).
For a couple days afterwards (even after plenty of sleep, vitamins, decent food and drink), I felt like walking up a flight of stairs too quickly might give me a heart attack. I was physically less able... my movements were sluggish, I could not lift as much as normal - a real pain when moving. It was hard to focus on mental tasks, but not impossible.
Most of this trip was negative, physically and mentally. I believe though, that most of that was probably the headspace I was in at the time.
Also... I normally approach these substances with a great deal of respect, even courtesy, and usually with the idea of expanding my mind, rather than solely for entertainment (although work and fun go together for me, and I'm not against using hallucinogens for pleasure).
I think that part of my problems, mentally, were simply that for the first time, I didn't respect what I was taking enough. I was all 'Ha ha! I'm gonna trip! Yay!' I treated it like a drug, not like a mind-expander, helper, or tool. And I ought to know better.
Now, the physical effects of this drug ensure that I'll never take it again. I took a smaller dose, one more time, about a week later. I had a nice time, but for days afterward, I was physically exhausted, and the morning after, my heart was pounding, and my chest was hurting, until I feared that I had damaged my heart. I'm still a little worried now, a week later - I still feel like I have not fully physically recovered.
I'm now concerned that even if I'm willing to accept the mental roller-coasters possible with this substance, that the physical effects of it on my body might possibly be dangerous and long-lasting. Much as I liked the amazing orgasms and explorations of the deeper areas of my memory... and as cathartic as it was to finally have a bad trip, I don't think I'll ever use this substance again.

Look up an address
Prototypes
Simple search (one-thing-per-page)
Use when it's highly likely that postcode will be known and as a no-javascript solution.
Enhanced search (javascript typeahead)
Use when the user might not know a specific item of info and wants to search on multiple terms. This works contextually alongside other elements on the page. This requires javascript.
Pattern principals
- search for addresses from a data register that is maintained by a third party
- collect addresses in approved formats that can be used for straight-through backend processing
- allow address to be search by postcode or the first line
- allow manual edit/entry if the address is not held in the way the user expects
- manually edited/entered addresses cannot be processed automatically
- manually edited/entered address should trigger a request a verify and update data register if required.

R Scripts
Learning objectives
If you have sequences of commands to perform, and you want to be able to recreate it later, or to share it with your colleagues, a good idea is to type it into a script.
In this section you will learn:
-
How to create a new script
-
How to use (and re-use) a script
Why is it a good idea
For example, with the credit example we have been using before, you do not want to type the complicated fixed payment formula each time you want to simulate the money you would have to reimburse.
If we go back to our loan example and want to make another simulation with \(N=36\), i.e. simulate the effect of repaying over a longer period, we could just simply redefine \(N\) and use the same code that we wrote before. It would be fine if you just typed that code and you did not close down the R console. However, if you want to do the same exercise tomorrow, you will need to rewrite everything from scratch. One way to avoid this is to save your work into script files.

By creating and saving a script, like the code used in the previous section, we would not need to retype everything, but we would simply need to open the R script, change the variables according to the new simulation you want to do.
-
If you’re working with the Windows R GUI there is a built-in script editor. To get to it, pull down the File menu and choose New Script. A window will open in which you can type your script.
-
If you’re working with R Studio IDE, there is also a built-in script editor. To get to it, pull down the File menu and choose New File and then choose R Script. A new tab will open in the Source pane in which you can type your script. (more on that when we install the R Studio IDE)
Try writing a script into your editor and see how much easier it is to execute the code when you’ve already saved a script.
Once you opened a new R script file, type the following sequence of commands into the text editor
L <- 10000 # L is the amount received Loan
N <- 24 # N is the number of months
r <- 6 # r is annual interest rate (expressed in percentage)
# m will calculate the fixed payment due
m <- L * (r/1200) *(1+r/1200)^N / ((1 + r/1200)^N - 1)
If you want to run a line of command, select the code you want to run with your mouse and press CTRL + Enter
keys.
This means you can run part of line, a complete line, or a block of several lines. In the latter case, R will run the command one after another.
Include comments
It is a good practice to include comments.
These comments may seem burdersome at first, but you will be very happy to find them when you will open your script in six months from now. Comments are easy to add as they start with a hashtag #
. Text typed after this hastag is not evaluated. We can use this to write reminders of why we wrote the code we wrote. When we read it in the future, we’ll be reminded of why we wrote these particular lines of code.
Try the code you just typed to make sure that you did not make any mistakes.
To do this, you can:
-
Test your code one line at a time. Go at the end of the line and press
CTRL + Enter
-
Test several lines of codes: Block the code you want to evaluate and press
CTRL + Enter
(To block the code, locate your mouse at the beginning of the code you want to evaluate, press and hold theSHIFT
key, mouse click at the end of the code to be tested and release the SHIFT key. The code you want to evaluate should be highlighted)
Once you are satisfied with your work, you can save the script for later use by:
- Going to the File menu and choose Save, or
- type Directly
CTRL + S
The first time, you are saving the script, a window will ask you where you want to save it and the name of the file you want to use. Choose a directory and a name that carries enough meaning so you can easily retrieve it later on!
Using your R Script
If you have done things correctly, you should be able to solve quickly a credit problem when needed without having to think too much about the formula if we ask you to do so two days (or six months) from now.
Follow the following sequence:
-
Open the R scripts you have saved (that’s why you need to know where and under what name you saved it!)
-
Change the value according to your new credit problem: for example change the line where \(N\) is defined from \(24\) to \(36\).
-
Block the code and run it (i.e. press
CTRL + Enter
keys) -
Et voila!!

| R Scripts video | This Youtube video gives a well organized description of how to create and use R scripts. The video was developed for Mac users, but you can beneficiate from most of it if you are a Windows user (by just translating Command into CTRL for example). |

from irbid I live in the villlage with my family, and
I didn't get a job yet, I joined yarmouk university
to study managment information systems, I graduated in 2009.
I am good at making delicious food and sweet,
I hope to master programming as well as cook,
I am looking forward to changing my life for
the better and I believe that learning to code
will make this change for me.


About Me
My name is David Saul Rodriguez. I am 29 years old, and I am a huge advocate of open source software. I love developing software and I love working as a web developer. I started my journey with Open Source software back in 2004 with Debian GNU/Linux after BSOD-ing my first laptop.
One of the first things I ever did on Debian was begin to play with the terminal. I began to inquire about the BASH terminal via Google and how it worked. I started to learn and teach myself basic terminal commands. First learning how to create, delete and move files. Soon after I taught myself how to work with input and output redirection and eventually learning how to use the unix® pipeline.
Eventually I found myself dabbling in source code. A lot of it! Afterall, I found the holy grail of code. Whole online communities were both sharing their code and helping their fellow developers online for free! The best part was, they never asked for anything except for you to pay it forward. Share your work and help others if and when you can. From then on, I was hooked! I became a hardcore Open Source software enthusiast and evangelist. It's only recently that I've decided to get into Web Development. But I would have to say that my 15 years in the open source and Unix/Linux communities have given me a deep understanding towards how the tools work and where to go when I need help.

Prince Charles shares his first ever Instagram post
by Judy PhilanderCape Town - The Prince of Wales penned his first Instagram post, which he shared on Tuesday ahead of his trip to India, E! Online reports.
While the 70-year-old Prince of Wales' office often shares updates on his and wife Camilla’s official royal duties, this marks the first time that Prince Charles himself shared a statement on social media, People reports.
The photo features himself and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, during their trip to India in 2017, and includes a lengthy caption, FOX News reports.
SEE THE POST HERE:
This isn’t the first time that a British royal personally shared a message rather than have their social media account managers do it for them.
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, launched their own Instagram account and their first post featured a quote from the couple in the caption. And in March, Queen Elizabeth signed off on her own first Instagram post in honour of her visit to the Science Museum in London.
It seems Prince Charles has taken a page out of their book.

Report: Clippers’ Leonard, George to play first game together vs. Celtics
by Sportsnet StaffThe Los Angeles Clippers‘ Kawhi Leonard is expected to make his return to the court tonight against the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk.
Leonard has missed the team’s last three games with a left knee contusion.
This will be the first time the duo of Leonard and fellow Clippers star Paul George share the floor this season, as George missed the first 11 games recovering from dual shoulder surgeries.
The Clippers pulled off a league-altering off-season of acquisitions last summer, assuring the arrival of Leonard in free agency by trading for George in a sizeable deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, effectively forming a title contender overnight.
George has averaged 29.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists on 56.3-per cent shooting over three games, while Leonard has posted 26.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 6.0 assists on 44-per cent shooting over nine games.

So, why then this online version?
Well, the online version can offer things that a local copy can not.
Here are some examples.
- No installation required. Only needs a recent browser.
- You can play with some examples to get a basic feeling
what Prolog programming looks like.
- You can do exercises from e.g.
Learn Prolog Now!
- You can save your code and share
both the code and example queries with anyone on the web.
- You can collaborate using
TogetherJS on a problem with
anyone on the web.
The future of the online version
The current online version is an early prototype. We have
several plans with it. If you are not impressed, please visit this page
again in a couple of months. These are the main plans:
- Better shared source management. Show dependencies, better
search for source code, (dis)like code fragments, integrate
source management with the examples menu, etc.
- Provide more rendering plugins, such as graphs, word clouds, etc.
- Further enhance embedding in course material such as Learn Prolog Now!

ENEMY AT THE GATES ------------------
The WWII Battle of Stalingrad was the critical political battle of Hitler's annexation of Europe. Nikita Krushchev (Bob Hoskins) was sent in to ensure a face-saving victory for Stalin when the Russians were overpowered in every way. Young propaganda journalist Danilov (Joseph Fiennes, "Shakespeare in Love") sways Krushchev from his intimidation tactics towards building morale through hope pinned on a young heroic soldier, sniper Vassily Zaitsev (Jude Law, "The Talented Mr. Ripley) in writer/director Jean-Jacques Annaud's "Enemy at the Gates."
Annaud begins his based-on-fact tale of the heroic Russian sniper and the German officer sent to stop him (Ed Harris as Major Koenig) with a remembrance of Vassily as a young boy. A dappled horse is tethered in a snowy field as bait to draw wolves. The shepherd's son, being taught how to shoot by his grandfather, watches in horror as the wolf attacks the helpless horse. This metaphor for the sniper battle to follow is stunningly shot, recalling Annaud's nature flick "The Bear."
As adult Vassily travels by train towards the fighting in Stalingrad, he notices a lovely young woman (Rachel Weisz, "The Mummy"), but at their destination, he's herded off the train to boats crossing the Volga to a city under bombardment. This opening sequence recalls that of "Saving Private Ryan," as the Russians are mowed down before most can reach shore - even by their own officers if they attempt to flee the boats. Once ashore, Vassily is greeted with the following orders, repeated over and over as one man receives a gun and the next ammunition - 'The one with the rife shoots. When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one that follows picks up the rifle and shoots.'
Vassily (a holder of bullets) meets Danilov (who's retrieved a gun from a corpse) when both are playing dead amidst scores of dead Russian soldiers in a city square water fountain. They're within shooting range of a high ranking Nazi and his valet when an additional three Germans pull up. Vassily kills all five providing Danilov with a hero around whom he builds a legend. Danilov's newspaper for the Russian military reports on the extraordinary number of German officers Vassily shoots. The Germans take note of this Russian hero and we next see the elegant Major Koenig, the Germans' best sharpshooter, arriving by train smoking gold tipped cigarettes and drinking champagne.
Danilov introduces Vassily to Mrs. Filipov (Eva Mattes, "Woyzeck") who provides an underground shelter and food. Her young son Sascha (Gabriel Thomson) will become a resourceful go-between, trading information for chocolate from Major Koenig.  Danilov is smitten and insists her education be used at headquarters, but she wants revenge for the murder of her parents and joins the sniper group.
Annaud and cowriter Alain Godard have taken the legend of Vassily Zaitsev, his lover Tania and his German foe Koenig (whom the Russians have documented, but not the Germans) and fashioned an intimate story of a lovers triange (Danilov's character is their concoction and the weak point of the screenplay) and two man battle amidst an epic battle. This first class production scores on almost every front, from Annaud's taut, suspenseful direction to the realistic recreation of Stalingrad under siege (production design by Wolf Kroeger, art direction by Steven Lawrence and Dominic Masters).  Annaud also grittily turns up the heat between Law and Weisz with a uniquely erotic lovemaking scene in the trenches. Unfortunately, James Horner's ("The Perfect Storm") emotionally obvious score plays down to the audience.
The stunning beautiful Jude Law looks the part of the young Russian peasant, although his characterization doesn't go too deep. Ed Harris is exemplary as the German officer with piercing blue eyes. Harris projects a wounded and world weary aristrocrat. Weisz is believable as the fiercely passionate Tania. Not so successful is Fiennes whose Danilov seems a reject from a dinner theater production of "Fiddler on the Roof" while Hoskins is apparently on a mission to protray as many tyrants as possible. The film also features Ron Perlman ("The City of Lost Children") as Koulikov, a student of Koenig's on the Russian side and esteemed German actor Matthias Habich ("Beyond Silence") as General von Paulus.
Many Americans may not be familiar with the events of the Battle of Stalingrad (note that there's an even better film on this battle, told from the German perspective, "Stalingrad," available for rental). Annaud's "Enemy at the Gates" is a rousing historical drama and worthy addition to the recent revival of WWII films.

Welcome to Ruby Schoolhouse!
What is Ruby but just a fancy way of creating objects that interact with each other? Ruby Schoolhouse is here to show you how you can create a world of objects.
Introductions
You can take the class on Arrays or Strings if you are new to this. Those are great classes to dive into when you are a beginner. There are lots of methods you can use with Array and String objects.
Once you get the hang of the built-in Ruby classes, you may find yourself wondering why you are building the same objects over and over again. Here at Ruby Schoolhouse, we want you to build your own classes!
What?? Build your own classes? Is this legal?
Uh...yes... Follow me.
Ok, we aren't actually going anywhere. You can make the class right in your favorite text editor!
class Schoolhouse def initialize puts "Congrats! You've now instantiated a Schoolhouse object!" @roster = {} end def topic(topic_name) @topic = topic_name end # This saves the teachers name def set_teacher(name) @teacher = name end # This returns the class roster def roster @roster end def add_student(name) @roster[name.to_sym] = {name: name} # Here, I'm adding a student but the student is a hash with a name. # This way each student has a 'folder' of their information. end end
What are classes but just fancy ways of organizing fancy objects, if you're the fancy type of builder, but you can also use it to build simple objects.
Why do you want to make a class?
In Ruby, everything is an object. The rule of thumb I use is if I foresee the need to make more than one of an object that has certain functionality, I should make a class.
Think of it like a folder for types of files. A folder called Receipts would be perfect for objects such as receipts!
It is also easy to imagine it like the way taxonomy classifies species of animals. For example, Birds include Robins and Finches. Robins and Finches have characteristics of birds, but they have their own distinct features. If Bird was a Ruby class, Robin would be a class that inherits the Bird traits and if need be, modify or overwrite them.
In our Ruby Schoolhouse, we organize the school into "classes" you can take such as Science or Imagination.
When we create a new class, we can inherit everything from the Schoolhouse class. Science objects will have access to Schoolhouse methods.
class Science < Schoolhouse def grow(plant) @plant = plant end end class Imagination < Schoolhouse def idea_maker(name_of_idea) @idea = name_of_idea end end
We also like to fill our room with useful things, so the students can use them for their fun learning activities!
Take a look around!
class Inanimates def initialize(name) @name = name @condition = true end def dimensions(x, y, z) @size = {x: x, y: y, z: z} end def condition? @condition ? "good" : "bad" end end class Planter < Inanimates attr_reader :name, :contents def initialize(name) @name = name @contents = [] end def receive(object) @contents << object end end class Plant attr_reader :name, :height def initialize(name) @name = name @height = 0 @planted = false end def plant_into(planter) @planted = true puts "#@name is now planted." end def water unless @planted puts "Cannot water, plant must be in a planter." else @height += 1 end end def measure if @height > 0 puts "#@name is #@height inches tall!" else puts "Your plant has still not sprouted. Maybe it needs water." end end end
Now it gets interesting
Creating new objects Now that we have set up these classes, we can instantiate them. Basically, you can say Plant.new and you would have created an instance of a Plant object, and you can create as many of them as you want.
Interact with the objects Now you can call the class methods on it. You can water it and measure it like this:
def put_in_planter(seed, planter) seed.plant_into(planter) planter.receive(seed) end planter1 = Planter.new(planter1) basil = Plant.new("basil_1") put_in_planter(basil, planter1) # => basil_1 is now planted. basil.water basil.water basil.measure # => basil_1 is 2 inches tall! rosemary = Plant.new("rosemary_1") put_in_planter(rosemary, planter1) # => rosemary_1 is now planted. rosemary.water rosemary.water rosemary.measure # => rosemary_1 is 2 inches tall! def whats_inside(planter) this_planter = planter.name planter.contents.each {|plant| puts plant.name} end whats_inside(planter1) # => basil_1 # => rosemary_1
What did you think?
That was just a basic introduction to what you could do with objects using classes. I hope you are excited to make your own classes for your objects!

THE HUDSUCKER PROXY A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (Linear 0 to 10): 8.5
Date Released: 3/11/93 (NY, LA) Running Length: 1:52 Rated: PG (Mature themes)
Starring: Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman, Charles Durning, Jim True, John Mahoney, William Cobbs, Bruce Campbell Director: Joel Coen Producer: Ethan Coen Screenplay: Joel & Ethan Coen and Sam Raimi Music: Carter Burwell Released by Warner Brothers
"Out of hope, out of rope, out of time." - William Cobbs in the opening narration of THE HUDSUCKER PROXY.
Tim Robbins has a knack for finding his way into superior satires. After taking the lead role in Robert Altman's THE PLAYER and starring in his own big-feature directorial debut, BOB ROBERTS, Mr. Robbins has now landed top billing for the latest film from the Coen Brothers, a wickedly funny and incisive lampoon of big business called THE HUDSUCKER PROXY.
Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins) is an imbecile from Muncie with a single idea for a children's toy when he wanders into Hudsucker Industries for a job in the mail room. Coincidentally, as Barnes is going in, the president of the company, Waring Hudsucker, is on his way out--through the window of the board room on the forty-fourth floor (not counting the Mezzanine). Hudsucker's death sets off a panic; company rules state that since he died without a will or living relatives, his majority share must be sold on the open market. Determined to devalue the stock so that the current board members can afford to buy it up, Chief exec Sidney J. Mussberger (Paul Newman) devises a scheme to destroy the Hudsucker reputation by choosing a complete incompetent for the top seat. At that moment, he meets Norville Barnes...
>From the opening sequence, soaring through the snow over the benighted building tops of an unnamed city, it's apparent that THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is going to be a awe-inspiring visual experience. Given that the producer/director pairing is that of brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, who headed such projects as BLOOD SIMPLE, MILLER'S CROSSING, and BARTON FINK, the emphasis on set design, artwork, and innovative cinematography (by Roger Deakins), shouldn't come as a surprise.
THE HUDSUCKER PROXY skewers big business on the same shaft that Robert Altman ran Hollywood through with THE PLAYER. From the BRAZIL-like scenes in the cavernous mail room to the convoluted machinations in the board room, this film is pure satire of the nastiest and most enjoyable sort. In this surreal world of 1958 can be found many of the issues confronting large corporations in the 1990s, all twisted to match the vision of the filmmakers.
If the main title sequence is impressive, numerous scenes throughout the movie are no less so, including (but not limited to) the plummet of Waring Hudsucker from the forty-fourth floor (not counting the Mezzanine). The spiraling, vertiginous drop is breathtaking to watch, thanks to the Coen's vision (aided by second unit director/co-writer Sam Raimi, who was heavily involved in the special effects shots) and the wizards at ILM.
 Also, when the moment of silence for Waring is announced, it goes without saying that the brief stoppage of work will demand an appropriate deduction from all paychecks.
The dialogue crackles, with one-liners and double entendres peppering the character exchanges. A Hula Hoop is referred to as an "Extruded Plastic Dingus," and a very un-Wim Wenders-like angel makes an appearance singing "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain."
Tim Robbins, who by now has a firm grasp on how to play characters in films of this nature, is perfect as the dimwitted, good-natured Norville Barnes, a man who fears his old mail room supervisor even after he's been named president. Mr. Robbins is effective mingling "straight" acting and physical comedy.
Paul Newman, continually chomping on his cigars, provides the perfect villain--the personification of corrupt corporate ideals. Mr. Newman clearly has a lot of fun in this role and, during the casting process, needed little convincing beyond a reading of the script to accept the part.
The scene-stealer, however, is Jennifer Jason Leigh, lampooning Greer Garson and Katherine Hepburn as a fast-talking, tough-as-nails, Pulitzer- prize winning reporter. Her scenes with Bruce Campbell and John Mahoney include so much snappy dialogue that they sometimes feel like a tennis match. and she packs a mean right cross and left hook.
In addition to a number of brief "period piece" parodies (such as a fake newsreel detailing developments at Hudsucker Industries and a scientific dissertation on how a Hula Hoop works), THE HUDSUCKER PROXY includes one of the most openly-hilarious on-screen moments of the year. Then again, there's a lot in this movie to laugh at beyond that single scene.
Neither the Coen brothers nor Sam Raimi are regarded as particularly mainstream, and THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is the first big-budget motion picture from them. Hopefully, the eclectic reputations of the filmmakers will not limit the movie's box office success. With its refined wit and glorious vision, THE HUDSUCKER PROXY is certainly deserving of a wide audience.

Gradient Descent
21 Dec 2017An optimization algorithm which uses gradient value of cost function to recursively adjust the solution of optimization problem.
Content:
1. Introduction
1.1. Why gradient descent?
Given an optimization problem: Find so that as in figure 1 reaches minumum value, an approach is to solve to find all local minima then compare them to get global minimum. In our example, solving gives us 2 local minima at and , because hence reaches minimum at .
The problem with the approach above is that sometimes, the equation cannot be solved easily. In this case, we can use an algorithm call gradient descent to find the approximate solution.
1.2. Methodology
To be more specific, GD will iteratively change the value of so that in each iteration, hopefully, is getting smaller and moving closer to the minimum.
One way to ensure that the adjustment to will cause smaller is to make equal a portion of the negative of the gradient: where is a positive number and it’s called learning rate. In conclusion, the adjustment to will be:
\begin{equation} \tag{1} \label{eq:1} x := x - \alpha f’(x) \end{equation}
Considering the point in figure 1, because so which means the update to as in equation (\ref{eq:1}) will move to the right hand side, making descending.
2. Gradient Descent for Linear Regression
Before we move on to the implementation and visualization, let’s quickly go through the concept of matrix derivative (to work with multi-dimensional data) and numerical differentiation (to calculate approximate gradient at a specific value of )
2.1. Matrix derivatives
In our previous example, is one-dimensional vector, but it’s not likely the case in most problem, could a vector in n-dimensional space. In this case, we need to update all element in simutaneously. If we don’t update them simutaneously then will change everytime an element in is updated. Matrix derivatives could help us archieve that.
The following equation is the formula for derivatives of with respect to x matrix .
\begin{equation} \triangledown_A f(A) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial f}{\partial A_{11}} & \cdots & \frac{\partial f}{\partial A_{1n}} \newline \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \newline \frac{\partial f}{\partial A_{m1}} & \cdots & \frac{\partial f}{\partial A_{mn}} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation}
In linear regression, is a vector. Formula for derivatives with repsect to a vector:
\begin{equation} \triangledown_x f(x) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_{1}}\newline \vdots \newline \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_{m}} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation}
2.2. Numerical Differentiation
Numerical Differentiation can be used to check whether our gradient function (in code) is correct or not. When testing, give some value then check whether or not calculated by equation \eqref{eq:2} is closed enough to calculated by equation \eqref{eq:3}. \begin{equation} \tag{2} \label{eq:2} f’(x) = \lim_{\varepsilon \rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x + \varepsilon) - f(x)}{\varepsilon} \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \tag{3} \label{eq:3} f’(x) \approx \frac{f(x + \varepsilon) - f(x - \varepsilon)}{2\varepsilon} \end{equation}
The proof of numerical differentiation can be found at Wikipedia

3. Discussion
3.1. When to stop?
The relationship between cost value in each iteration is shown in figure 2.a, clearly, the cost value tends to bottoms out and remains stable after iteration 40. The rest iteration doesn’t seem to reduces the cost value as much and could be unnecessary. When the calculation is expensive, we might not want to continued the iteration while the solution is already good enough. So plotting cost value after each iteration or even calculating the slope of that function could be a way to decide when to stop GD.
Figure 2.b shows that setting as the threshold is not good enough to stop GD because in that example, the optimal solution occurs when .
3.2. Stucking in Local Optimum
In figure (3), when trying to fit data by a parabola, GD get stuck in a local optimum, we know that because the green line is the solution found by formula (which is global optimum as I have explain in this blog). When trying to fit a parabola, another vector is added to the collumn space. When working with high dimensional space, it’s likely to have multiple local mimima. It means GD is very sensitive to initial value and it’s hard to get out of a local minimum. There are serveral variant of GD that can deal with this problem such as Stochastic Gradient Descent.
3.3. Speed to convergence (Learning rate)
Learning rate () is an important parameter, small learning rate as in figure 4.a can slow down GD and maybe makes it very slow to converge. On the other hand, large learning rate as in figure 4.b can make GD impossible to converge.
3.4. Disadvantage compared to using formula
| Gradient Descent | Normal Equation |
|---|---|
| Need to chose learning rate | No need to choose learning rate |
| Needs many iteration | Don’t need to iterate |
| Work well even when n (features) is large | Need to compute projection matrix 0(n3) |
| O(kn2) | Slow if n (features) is very large |
3.5. Speedup GD
Feature Scaling is commonly be used when working with GD, we want features are in similar scale (range) and it can be archieved by:
- Rescaling: The simplest method is rescaling the range of features to scale the range in [0, 1] or [−1, 1]. Selecting the target range depends on the nature of the data.
\begin{equation} x’=\frac{x-min(x)}{max(x)-min(x)} \end{equation}
is original value and is the normalized value.
- Mean normalisation
\begin{equation} x’=\frac{x-mean(x)}{s_i} \end{equation}
can be standard deviation or is the range of value (max-min).

The total number of protected area records in the April 2019 release of the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is 242,783 comprising 222,015 polygons and 20, 768 points, covering 245 countries and territories.
Follow us on Facebook @ Protected Planet and Twitter: @protectedplanet
Eswatini: This is a complete update of Eswatini's protected area network. Notable change is the addition of Lubuyane Nature Reserve to the WDPA. 11 sites that do not meet the definition of a protected area have been removed, but will be included in our Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECM) database later in 2019. These Conserved Areas are contributing to conservation but do not have conservation as the primary objective.
Solomon Islands: An update of the descriptive information for 51 of the protected areas in the Solomon Islands. Five point records have been deleted as they were identified as duplicates of polygon records. This is the first ever government-approved update of the country's data. It was facilitated by the Secretariat for the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, supported by the BIOPAMA programme.

Dearest Readers,
It was the year of 1717 or of 1818, I am not quite sure which since it was some time ago, that I first started staticshin. I didn't have a means of delivering my writing to you so I devised a peculiar delivery technique, which has since grown into a tradition. The service which is know known as the "kite mail" was first started by me in the year of 1717 or of 1818, I can't be sure because it was long long ago, to deliver my articles to you since I did not have any means of delivery. Any way I will not bore you with the details since almost everyone delivers the post by the "kite mail" method and you all must be quite familiar with it.
The problem with "kite mail" is that it is quite unreliable. Which is why I experimented with another delivery technique known as "pigeon entrapment". While it sounds like a conspiracy against humble pigeons I assure you that I have nothing against them. But they sure do poop a lot. We can't do anything about that now can we. Pigeons pooping all the time. Anyway my experiment of using pigeons for the delivery turned out to be quite successful. Once more I will not bore you with the details since I am sure that this technique will also become quite popular.
Coming back to the question of the year when I started staticshin. I think it was 1717 or 1818. I can not with certainty point to the definite period of time when I first commenced writing for it but it was one of the two.
I have also encountered my fair share of problems. Like for instance, as I mentioned before, the pigeon poop. I think that it is rather unfortunate that pigeons can't exercise a bit of self control. Every where I look I see hordes of pigeons eating corn. I think that right there is the root of the problem. When a pigeon sees corn it can't restrain itself. And it goes on a feeding frenzy even if it is quite full. If we could train pigeons to eat less corn there will be lot less pooping on window shields of the cars and consequently lot less car washes as a result of which we will not only save water but also fuel. I feel that it is imperative that pigeons be trained in consuming the right amount of corn. It's good not only for us but also for the planet.
Then the question arises where are we to find such a person? I don't personally know any. Do you? If you do then be sure to drop a mail to me. Feel free to use the "kite mail" method. Which ,as I may have alluded to once or twice before, I invented for the delivery of my posts in the year of 1717 or 1818, I can say with complete confidence that it was one of the two.
P.S.: I don't think we are running out of papers yet. It was just a miscalculation. The records are too old you see all the way back from 1919.
Truly yours,
Yours truly.


--- layout: page title: Custom Python-R Tools for ESRI's ArcGIS subtitle: Sets of integrated custom Python-R script tools for ESRI's ArcGIS meta-title: "Francesco Tonini - Work" ---
Back in 2013, I started exploring the integration between ArcGIS and R to create my own custom analysis tools. On one hand, coming from the R world, I was simply curious to explore a new way to make the two programming architectures (Python and R) talk to each other. On the other hand, I wanted to take advantage of the plethora of statistical packages available in R. At the time, the only way to have ArcGIS and R talk to each other was to (1) create a Python script reading user parameters from the ArcGIS GUI, (2) calling the R executable to run an R script containing the bulk of the analysis, and (3) sending the result back to the Python script and ArcGIS for visualization. This integration is now much more advanced, thank to the R-ArcGIS Bridge. Over the years, I have developed tools to run factor analysis for mixed data, network analysis grouping, and extreme value analysis to calculate return values from a time series of gridded datasets.

Lucas (1986)
Grade: 51
"Lucas" is an intelligently written and directed film that somehow misses the mark. Much of it is painful to watch, and many of the supporting characters aren't credible.
Corey Haim is the title character, a 14 year old nerdy genius "accelerated" into high school. Haim is unwilling to accepted his designated place in the HS pecking order, and tries desperately to win the love of pretty new-in-town Kerri Green, ignoring the advances of adrogynous young Wynona Ryder (her film debut). While Green values Haim as a friend, she is in love with good-guy jock Charlie Sheen, who already has a lovely girlfriend (Courtney Thorne-Smith).
Ryder, Sheen and Courtney Thorne-Smith (of "Melrose Place") went on to become stars, but not due to this film. No wonder, since their characters all have problems. Ryder is there only to follow Haim around and get rejected by him. It isn't apparent why she is in love with Haim, whose chief interest outside of Green is collecting bugs and salamanders. I can marginally accept Sheen's character as as self-effacing, but his frequent role as protector to Haim seems unlikely. Thorne-Smith is present only to be jealous of Green, and hateful towards her. For good measure, I don't like the football coach either.
I am not implying that a film has to be pleasant or fun to be good, but "Lucas" is simply painful to watch.  A happy ending is artificially pasted on.
An interesting film, and I can see how others would view the film more favorably than I did.

This keyboard is designed for the Innu language of Canada. The keyboard follows a standard US QWERTY keyboard layout. To access the superscript u and U, type the consonant followed by a "w". For example "kw" becomes "kᵘ, "mw" becomes "mᵘ" "shw" becomes "shᵘ" and "tw" becomes "tᵘ". These are also available for uppercase. If "kᵘ" is subsequently followed by "a", "e", "i", or "u", then the raised "u" becomes a "w" again ("kwa" remains "kwa").
