PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com
David Fincher's (The Game) latest film begins at the end - in a high-rise office building where protagonist and narrator Jack (Edward Norton, American History X) is asked, with a pistol jammed into his mouth, if he has any last words. The gunman is Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt, Meet Joe Black), who explains to Jack that he has planted explosives in several nearby buildings with the intent of leveling several city blocks. We know this is the end of the film, and Jack's story is revealed through his nightmarish narrative flashback.
There is a reason we never learn Jack's name; he's supposed to represent an anonymous 30-year-old single white professional male - the kind that is slowly realizing that they have no purpose in life, other than toiling away in a white-button-down-shirt job all day and watching sitcoms from the comfort of their IKEA couch at night. They are the middle generation – raised by women and without either a Great War or a Great Depression. Their great depression is existence.
Once Jack takes us to the beginning of his tale, we learn that he works for a major automobile manufacturer, investigating accidents caused by faulty design to determine whether a recall would be cost effective for the company. He also suffers from insomnia, a condition that his doctor refuses to cure via prescription medication. The doctor suggests depressed Jack get more exercise and tells him to cheer up, implying that he check out a support group at St. Christopher's Church to see the real misery of the human condition.
The support group is for men that have been gelded due to testicular cancer. Jack is paired up with Robert Paulsen (Meat Loaf, Black Dog) a giant man with giant `bitch-tits' as a result of female hormone treatments. After a weepy Robert pours his heart out to him, Jack gets the best night of sleep he's had in months. As a result, Jack becomes somewhat of a support-group junkie, attending meetings for victims of tuberculosis, sickle-cell anemia and melanoma, among other afflictions.
After a year of touring the anguish and sorrow circuit, Jack meets two people that will change his life forever. One is Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter, Theory of Flight), a suicidal woman he notices at all of the support group meetings. The second is Tyler, a soap salesman with extensive knowledge in explosives that Jack meets on an airplane. Because of a fire in his condo, Jack takes up residence with Tyler, who lives in an immense dilapidated house in an abandoned part of the city.
As Jack and Tyler bond, they discover that pummeling each other is a great therapeutic way to unload all of the pressure of being young white men. They regularly hold fistfights each Saturday outside a dive bar called Lou's Tavern and soon are joined by other disillusioned young white men. Eventually, the `Fight Club' moves into the dirt-floored basement of Lou's Tavern and is subjected to several rules (you probably already know the first one).
While Jack is thrilled at the idea of Fight Club and all it represents, he suspects Tyler of deviant ulterior motives. Just who is Tyler Durden and why do all of these complete strangers seem to become his disciples so quickly?  Jack also learns that Fight Club is open on nights other than Saturday and has heard rumors that Durden has opened branches in other cities, as well.
As their relationship fizzles, so does Jack's remaining semblance of a life. He comes to work disheveled, bloodied and without a tie. He fantasizes about Marla and he grows increasingly suspicious of Tyler's nihilistic and mysterious goals of `freeing' men from the drudgery of their lives.
Fight Club is one heck of a brutally graphic film. Visually, it's amazing, with Fincher pulling no punches in creating the gritty underworld of indifferent men. The story is based on Chuck Palahniuk's novel, who allegedly wrote it long-hand while working as a truck mechanic. Palahniuk's story will leave some people slack-jawed, some nauseous, some cold and some afraid to walk through the theater parking lot to get to their cars. Thanks to Fincher's direction (as well as his production team – editor Jim Haygood and cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth from The Game) you can almost feel every punch thrown in the film.
Although there are plenty of fantastic scenes in the film, two in particular have the misfortune of following recent pictures with similar content - American Beauty and The Sixth Sense. I won't say what the similarities are, but after you see Fight Club, it will be pretty obvious. Despite this bad luck, Fight Club is still a fantastic flick and almost seems ahead of its time in terms of social message and violent content.

Discorporation. When Tiamat drops to 0 hit points or dies, her body is destroyed but her essence travels back to her domain in the Nine Hells, and she is unable to take physical form for a time.
Innate Spellcasting (3/Day). Tiamat can innately cast divine word (spell save DC 26). Her spellcasting ability is Charisma.
Legendary Resistance (5/Day). If Tiamat fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.
Limited Magic Immunity. Unless she wishes to be affected, Tiamat is immune to spells of 6th level or lower. She has advantage on saving throws against all other spells and magical effects.
Magic Weapons. Tiamat’s weapon attacks are magical.
Multiple Heads. Tiamat can take one reaction per turn, rather than only one per round. She also has advantage on saving throws against being knocked unconscious. If she fails a saving throw against an effect that would stun a creature, one of her unspent legendary actions is spent.
Regeneration. Tiamat regains 30 hit points at the start of her turn.
Actions
Multiattack. Tiamat can use her Frightful Presence. She then makes three attacks: two with her claws and one with her tail.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 24 (4d6 + 10) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 25 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (4d8 + 10) piercing damage.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of Tiamat’s choice that is within 240 feet of Tiamat and aware of her must succeed on a DC 26 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to Tiamat’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Legendary Actions
The tiamat can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The tiamat regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Bite. Tiamat can take 5 legendary actions, choosing from the options listed. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Tiamat regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.
Tiamat’s legendary action options are associated with her five dragon heads (a bite and a breath weapon for each). Once Tiamat chooses a legendary action option for one of her heads, she can’t choose another one associated with that head until the start of her next turn.
Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 32 (4d10 + 10) slashing damage plus 14 (4d6) acid damage (black dragon head), lightning damage (blue dragon head), poison damage (green dragon head), fire damage (red dragon head), or cold damage (white dragon head).
Black Dragon Head: Acid Breath (Costs 2 Actions). Tiamat breathes acid in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 67 (15d8) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Blue Dragon Head: Lightning Breath (Costs 2 Actions). Tiamat breathes lightning in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 88 (16d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Green Dragon Head: Poison Breath (Costs 2 Actions). Tiamat breathes poisonous gas in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 27 Constitution saving throw, taking 77 (22d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Red Dragon Head: Fire Breath (Costs 2 Actions). Tiamat breathes fire in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 91 (26d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
White Dragon Head: Cold Breath (Costs 2 Actions). Tiamat breathes an icy blast in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 27 Dexterity saving throw, taking 72 (16d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Governments have widely varying policies and practices towards journalists
By Name Here
Such a code of conduct can, in the real world, be difficult to uphold consistently. Reporting and editing do not occur in a vacuum but always reflect the political context in which journalists, no less than other citizens, operate.
A news organization's budget inevitably reflects decision-making about what news to cover, for what audience, and in what depth. When budgets are cut, editors may sacrifice reporters in distant news bureaus, reduce the number of staff assigned to low-income areas, or wipe entire communities from the publication's zone of interest.
Publishers, owners and other corporate executives, especially advertising sales executives, could try to use their powers over journalists to influence how news is reported and published. For this reason, journalists traditionally relied on top management to create and maintain a "firewall" between the news and other departments in a news organization to prevent undue influence on the news department.
There are over 242 codes of ethics in journalism that vary across various regions of the world.
Governments have widely varying policies and practices towards journalists, which control what they can research and write, and what press organizations can publish. Some governments guarantee the freedom of the press; while other nations severely restrict what journalists can research or publish.
Journalists in many nations have some privileges that members of the general public do not, including better access to public events, crime scenes and press conferences, and to extended interviews with public officials, celebrities and others in the public eye.
Journalists who elect to cover conflicts, whether wars between nations or insurgencies within nations, often give up any expectation of protection by government, if not giving up their rights to protection from the government. Journalists who are captured or detained during a conflict are expected to be treated as civilians and to be released to their national government. Many governments around the world target journalists for intimidation, harassment, and violence because of the nature of their work.
Journalists' interaction with sources sometimes involves confidentiality, an extension of freedom of the press giving journalists a legal protection to keep the identity of a confidential informant private even when demanded by police or prosecutors; withholding their sources can land journalists in contempt of court, or in jail.
Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on events. The word journalism applies to the occupation, as well as citizen journalists who gather and publish information. Journalistic media include print, television, radio, Internet, and, in the past, newsreels.
Concepts of the appropriate role for journalism vary between countries. In some nations, the news media are controlled by government intervention and are not fully independent. In others, the news media are independent of the government but instead operate as private industry motivated by profit. In addition to the varying nature of how media organizations are run and funded, countries may have differing implementations of laws handling the freedom of speech and libel cases.
Journalistic conventions vary by country. In the United States, journalism is produced by media organizations or by individuals. Bloggers are often, but not always, journalists. The Federal Trade Commission requires that bloggers who write about products received as promotional gifts to disclose that they received the products for free. This is intended to eliminate conflicts of interest and protect consumers.
According to Robert McChesney, healthy journalism in a democratic country must provide an opinion of people in power and who wish to be in power, must include a range of opinions and must regard the informational needs of all people.
There are several forms of journalism with diverse audiences. Thus, journalism is said to serve the role of a "fourth estate", acting as a watchdog on the workings of the government. A single publication (such as a newspaper) contains many forms of journalism, each of which may be presented in different formats. Each section of a newspaper, magazine, or website may cater to a different audience.
Consequently, this has resulted in arguments to reconsider journalism as a process distributed among many authors, including the socially mediating public, rather than as individual products and articles written by dedicated journalists.
Because of these changes, the credibility ratings of news outlets has reached an all-time low. A 2014 study revealed that only 22% of Americans reported a "great deal" or "quite a lot of confidence" in either television news or newspapers.
It's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well. That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections, and hate speech, as well as developers and data privacy.
The phrase was popularized and inaccurately used by Donald Trump during his presidential campaign to discredit what he perceived as negative news coverage of his candidacy and then the presidency.
While publications reporting the news to the general public in a standardized fashion only began to appear in the 17th century and later, governments as early as Han dynasty China made use of regularly published news bulletins. These bulletins, however, were intended only for government officials, and thus were not journalistic news publications in the modern sense of the term.
Journalism in China before 1910 primarily served the international community. The overthrow of the old imperial regime in 1911 produced a surge in Chinese nationalism, an end to censorship, and a demand for professional, nation-wide journalism.
Starting in the 1940s, United States broadcast television channels would air 10-to-15-minute segments of news programming one or two times per evening. The era of live-TV news coverage would begin in the 1960s with the assassination of John F. Kennedy, broadcast and reported to live on a variety of nationally syndicated television channels. During the 60s and 70s, television channels would begin adding regular morning or midday news shows. Starting in 1980 with the establishment of CNN, news channels began providing 24-hour news coverage, a format which persists through today.

Assignment Sequence for Fall 2006
The New Humantities
Reader and Another Way Home
Assignment #1: Argument Analysis
Loffreda
In “Selections from
Losing Matt Shepard,” Beth Loffreda examines the significance of Matt
Shepard’s murder and why it captured the nation’s attention. As
she investigates the nature of the media coverage and the various responses
of individuals and groups, she uncovers a wide array of prejudices,
not only about gays, but about Wyoming, the West, and Native Americans,
thus revealing a multifaceted problem.
For this project, construct an account
of Loffreda’s argument. In your paper, make clear how, in Loffreda’s
view, the media frenzy, the community’s response, and the undercurrent
of prejudices in Laramie create a multifaceted problem. Discuss how
Loffreda organizes the piece and how the structure influences what she
has to say. Finally, how is what she has to say significant for
people interested in identity?

Hartfield, Another Way Home:
The Tangled Roots of Race in One Chicago Family
Ronne Hartfield’s memoir, Another
Way Home: The Tangled Roots of Race in One Chicago Family,
chronicles the histories of her biracial family, in hopes to “make
visible how one colored family created meaningful lives” (xvi).
In contrast to existing tragic narratives within black literature, she
makes clear the need for more celebratory stories. Through this narrative,
she argues that the stories she tells “have implications both for
history and for how we live now” (xiii). She makes connections
between her particular family experiences and larger moments in African
American history in order to illustrate these possible implications.
After reviewing and evaluating the
sources provided for you as part of this assignment, choose a minimum
of two that help you understand Hartfield’s narrative accounts
and her argument that there is a meaningful relationship between individual
family histories and larger sociohistorical moments. How do those
sources illustrate, clarify, extend, or complicate the argument that
this piece makes—or the questions it raises—about the interplay
between racial identity, family narratives, and the wider historical
atmosphere? How do they contribute to your ideas about the significance
of Hartfield’s argument?

Assignment #3: Explaining Rhetorical Strategies
Krakauer and Sacks
Krakauer and Sacks research and write
about the lives of individuals who see and experience the world differently
from the way many people do and who may even be said to confront a different
reality. To describe and explain the way issues of identity are experienced
by their research subjects, Krakauer and Sacks employ various rhetorical
strategies. Identify some of the rhetorical strategies that Krakauer
and Sacks use to present their representations of lives that may seem
different in the eyes of many of their intended readers. Propose
an explanation of some strategies that writers like these use to make
it possible for us to connect not only to new information, but to people
whose perspectives and sense of identity may differ significantly from
our own. Be sure to comment on the significance of these authors’
work for writers and/or for people interested in understanding identity.

James C. Scott provides an approach
to reading and understanding what occurs whenever the powerful and the
disempowered engage with one another. Abu-Lughod, in telling Kamla’s
story, describes complex relations among Bedouins and between Bedouins
and outsiders: youths versus tradition-oriented elders, Bedouin tribes
versus Egyptians, Bedouins versus Europeans, and so forth. You
have already charted the organization of Abu-Lughod’s essay in order
to understand her project and to construct the argument that she is
making. Now consider that argument in terms of James C. Scott's
"Behind the Official Story." How would Scott interpret the
stories that Kamla has told? How many different transcripts are
present in “Honor and Shame?” Who is best positioned to interpret
these transcripts? How is the work of these researchers significant
for understanding identities?

Koalas 'are almost extinct' after devastating bushfires and drought
Australian Koala Foundation and the country's Prime Minister Scott Morrison have called on more to be done to protect koalas, of which 1,000 died in the recent bushfires
by Nada Farhoud, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/nada-farhoud/Koalas may be "functionally extinct" because of Australia’s devastating drought and bushfires.
More than 1,000 koalas are thought to have died in the fires which have killed six people since October.
Slow-moving koalas, who curl up in trees to avoid danger, have been trapped by flames and heard to yelp in distress.
Fires engulfing more than 3.7 million acres of eastern Australia have also destroyed 80% of their habitat.

But Eucalyptus take months to re-grow after a fire, so many of the marsupials could starve.
Deborah Tabart, of the Australian Koala Foundation, is urging action from Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
Deborah said: “If we combine all of the estimated deaths of koalas in the bushfires, there could be 1,000 koalas which have been killed in the last two months.
“Functionally extinct means a koala living today might have one joey and that joey may or may not have a joey, if they don’t, that’s functionally extinct.
“We think there’s no more than 16-18,000 koalas in the whole of New South Wales. So to lose a population of that size in a stronghold is disastrous."
Professor Chris Dickman, an ecology expert at Sydney University, said hearing koalas’ yelps is a sign things are going badly wrong.
"Koalas don't make noise much of the time," he said.
"Males only make booming noises during mating season. Other than that they're quiet animals. So hearing their yelps is a pretty bad sign things are going catastrophically wrong for these animals."

Even though there is no Japanese inside the laboratory of Bioinformatics, I can still meet new Japanese friends. Throughout this internship program, I have made some Japanese friends from activities inside Kanazawa University such as welcome party, and KISSA events. These activities guided me to meet some friends who can speak English well.

Towson Gallery Redesign
This project asked us to re-invision Towson's Art Gallery website. I wanted to take this project in a clean and elegant direction, letting the gallery images really be the only elements on the site that had much color or contrast outside of TU's standard gold.
I originally decided that I wanted the pages to have light color schemes, so I chose a light grey for the background and wanted to use a white content box over top of that. The TU gold color would be used sparingly, for accent colors such as links.
Here's what the first design concepts looked like:
Homepage
Gallery pages
Menu design
Calendar page
Page footer
After getting the first round of feedback, I opted to get rid of the dropdown menu and instead line the menu list items across the top header bar. I also chose to include a sidebar navigation on the gallery pages (or any pages which are under categories which have more than one sub-page. So far it's only the gallery pages.) The calendar page was changed to display two columns of calendar entries, rather than just one. I also played with the gallery displays on the homepage, adding a bit more padding around the text and also including a bit more information about the gallery exhibition on mouseover.
New concepts are as follows:
Homepage
Gallery pages
Calendar page
The second round of feedback made me reconsider my hover state on the homepage for the gallery slices. I realized that having the steps created by the end of the grey space into the white border, then the edge of the image ending somewhere visible messed up my initial clean-and-sleek direction for the website. I changed the image so that it won't change height, and instead the white border extends up and down to fill 100% of the height of the column.
The dark grey/black hover bar on the menu might be tweaked to be slightly slimmer, and if it is, the new size will be the same size as the yellow left border on the sidebar navigation on the gallery pages in order to keep consistency. On the gallery sub-pages the gallery menu tab will also keep its black bar in order to reinforce the user's location within the website navigation.
The sidebar will be the same width as one of the vertical slices from the homepage. 100% width, divided by 5 vertical columns=20% width per column. Enforce a max-width at maybe 1000px. Column height is 90% of the browser height.
Stock images can be taken from Compfight, sorted under creative commons.

Fake News Buster: EPFO is not giving Rs 80,000
by Bangalore Mirror BureauTHE FAKE
A message claiming that the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is granting Rs 80,000 to its employees who worked between 1990 and 2018 is being circulated on social media.
SO, WHAT’S THE TRUTH?
A fact check conducted by The Quint discovered that the same message went viral in 2018. A notification on the official EPFO website has warned the public against such messages.


Did my invitations disappear?
Why'd I put my heart on every cursive letter?


You get free prescriptions, but need a valid maternity exemption certificate
Your certificate gives you free prescriptions while you're pregnant and for 12 months after the birth of your baby.
What you'll need as proof
You may have to show your maternity exemption certificate.
You can get an application form from your midwife, doctor or health visitor.
If you didn't get your maternity exemption certificate while you were pregnant, you can still apply at any time during the 12 months after your baby was born.

This one might be a bit tricky to fix. The plug-in specifically listens only for a subset of ASCII characters, which you can see if you scroll down in this source file; specifically:
numbers = ('0'..'9').to_a.join lowercase = ('a'..'z').to_a.join uppercase = lowercase.upcase punctuation = '<>`@#~!"$%&/()=+*-_.,;:?\\\'{}[] ' # and space
So we're talking about numbers, lower and uppercase letters, and some punctuation.
Not really sure how I could go about capturing other keypresses, seeing as in order to receive key presses I have to explicitly create a VIM
map
for each keypress that I am interested in. Might have to have a dig around and see how other plug-ins handle this. -

11. Namespacing in Backbone Js – Learning Backbonejs
So far we declared everything as a global function ie Person, PersonView, PersonCollection etc. Namespacing helps us to structure our application in much nicer way and keep the application with limited global variables. Take a look on this.
(function(){
window.App = {
Models: {},
Collections: {},
Views: {}
};
window.template = function(id){
return _.template( $('#' id).html());
};
})();
In the above code we specified App as a name space. You can define what ever you want to as per your project name. And in the App namespace, we specified some other name space ie Models, Collections, Views. You can define templates if you have multiple templates. But for this example, I am keep template as totally different global variable.
Cool. Now lets take a look on our current naming conventions, We have
Person
PersonView
PeopleCollection
PeopleView
// following the same now with namespace..
App.Models.Person
App.Views.PersonView
App.Collections.PeopleCollection
App.Views.PeopleView
// The above code is ok but there are redundancy in the naming which can be improved like this:
App.Models.Person
App.Views.Person
App.Collections.People
App.Views.People
So here is the new main.js file using namespacing in backbone js. (Please check inline comments..)
(function(){ // whole blocked is wrapped into anonymous Jquery function..
window.App = { // defining app name space, You can rename it as per your project name..
Models: {},
Collections: {},
Views: {}
};
window.template = function(id){
return _.template( $('#' id).html());
};
// Person Model
App.Models.Person = Backbone.Model.extend({ // Person model referencing the App namespace model.
defaults: {
name: 'Guest User',
age: 30,
occupation: 'worker'
}
});
// A List of People
// Same here. People is referencing now collection from App namespace
App.Collections.People = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: App.Models.Person // Change here for Person Reference from App models namespace
});
// View for all people
/// Same here. People is referencing now views from App namespace
App.Views.People = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'ul',
render: function(){
this.collection.each(function(person){
// Change here for Person Reference from App Views namespace
var personView = new App.Views.Person({ model: person });
this.$el.append(personView.render().el);
}, this);
return this;
}
});
// The View for a Person
// Change here for Person Reference from App Views namespace
App.Views.Person = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'li',
template: template('personTemplate'),
render: function(){
this.$el.html( this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
return this;
}
});
// Change here for Person Reference from App Collections namespace
var peopleCollection = new App.Collections.People([
{
name: 'Mohit Jain',
age: 26
},
{
name: 'Taroon Tyagi',
age: 25,
occupation: 'web designer'
},
{
name: 'Rahul Narang',
age: 26,
occupation: 'Java Developer'
}
]);
// Change here for Person Views from App Views namespace
var peopleView = new App.Views.People({ collection: peopleCollection });
$(document.body).append(peopleView.render().el);
})();
Now just refresh your page and you will see same collections views output but in much nicer way. ;) Thats all for Namespacing in backbone js. Stay tuned for next lesson ie. Jquery Dom events. On Click events etc. Super excited for that lesson. ;)
If you are facing any issues. Checkout the source code files at github. I will be creating more and more directories in the same repo regarding each post. Still if you have any doubts contact me or you can comment on the blog post itself.

An elderly man sits in a carriage at night, watching the silhouetted trees in the darkness and hearing strange noises. Suddenly, something dashes through his carriage and the driver's head is gone. The man is scared and leaps out of the carriage. He walks up to a scarecrow with an ominous, eerie pumpkin for a head.  A nice start, but what a shame that the whole movie is like that - it makes decapitation seem as matter-of-factly as those "Friday the 13th" movies. We have come a long way since Disney's scarily amusing classic short, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Back at Sleepy Hollow, a dreary town saturated in fog, the bland, easily bewitched constable Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) arrives from New York City to investigate a series of puzzling decapitations. Puzzling to Ichabod, but not to the townspeople who are certain that a supernatural figure on a horse, known as the Headless Horseman, is responsible for the murders. "We have murders in New York without benefit of ghouls or goblins," mutters Ichabod, in one of the movie's few clever lines. Eventually, Ichabod discovers that this superstition is fact, but the reasons for the Headless Horseman's rampage may leave viewers wishing that director Tim Burton would have had the demonic imagination to reinvent this fable with more juice than is allowed.
"Sleepy Hollow's" ad campaign is absolutely correct - heads do roll but with little pretense or justification. We see the nocturnal horseman galloping through the narrow roads raising his sword and axe with all his might and severing each and every head (he even battles Ichabod in a duel that had me laughing unintentionally). You see a decapitation once and it is threatening, albeit somewhat scary. Second time is still thrilling with the music score by Danny Elfman pumping through the speakers even louder. The third and fourth time, you are left wondering if Tim Burton did nothing more than create a big-budget slasher film with a headless Jason Voorhees!
Mr. Burton leaves little to the imagination, an ironic gesture on his part since he is a man borne of vivid imaginings. Remember the wonderful creation of Johnny Depp's sad-eyed, clownish, fragile Edward Scissorhands! The wondrous surrealism of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"! The comical belching of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice! And what do we have in "Sleepy Hollow"? An angry, elliptical horseman who huffs and puffs and not much else (oh, yes, he loves to steal heads). This may be because the monster is from Washington Irving's novella, not an original creation of Burton's.
The other characters are barely magnified beyond paper-thin caricature types. Johnny Depp is not as wild-eyed as he was in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," but his Ichabod is too bland and not eccentric enough to stimulate interest. Christina Ricci is the blonde-curled Katrina whom Ichabod falls in love with (Winona Ryder was also mistakenly blonde in "Edward Scissorhands"), but they don't have an iota of chemistry. Ricci is supposed to be some kind of witch but the script glosses over this characteristic in favor of more beheadings. The other actors show up merely as window dressing - Michael Gambon, Miranda Richardson and Michael Gough appear like blocks of wood in Burton's world with no sense of urgency. In fact, if this horseman is so dangerous and people are so afraid of him, why don't they all move to another town? Or is there a conspiracy involving an inheritance and doomed love? We can never be sure.
"Sleepy Hollow" is both sleep-inducing and hollow, showing us nothing more than numerous beheadings and bleeding tree trunks. Save for Christopher Walken's frightening cameo, beautifully captivating cinematography, and a couple of dazzling dream sequences, this Gothic wannabe fable is charmless, joyless, frenetic junk. It is time Burton sets his eyes on the vivid, imaginative power of his own creations.

Within recent years, blockchain technology has made decentralized computing an incredibly popular reality. PixelProperty reaches new heights by introducing a customizable way for cryptocollectables to be presented to the public visually. Represented by an interactive digital canvas using the Properties and Tokens that power PixelProperty, each user can contribute and display their ownership visually. Each 10x10 region of pixels on the canvas is a tradeable Digital Property. Property owners can allow the community to update the visual pixels of their Property, or keep their Property private. To incentivize users to play with the canvas, as well as incentivize owners to let their Properties be used freely, a crypto Token known as PixelPropertyToken (PXL) is created and distributed to such groups based on canvas usage. Integrating PXL with cryptocollectable Properties create a decentralized evolving canvas of digital real estate, following their own supply and demand market for trading between users via PXL.
Our vision is to create an ecosystem of cryptocollectables that connect the digital world with the physical world. We intend to connect PixelProperty with the real-world through a constantly evolving billboard installed in a popular city. Digitally, users may browse and edit the canvas through our user-friendly website, PixelProperty.io, which will update the billboard in real-time.
PixelProperty’s technical design also allows for the advancements in other products using the same Properties represented in PixelProperty. Others may create separate supporting websites where their Properties represent other meanings. We plan to allow users to carry what they own within PixelProperty across multiple products, opening the PixelProperty ecosystem to additional markets up to the user base.
Despite the most popular use case of blockchain technology being digital currencies, known as cryptocurrencies, another use case with growing interests is the creation of digital collectable items, also known as cryptocollectables. Cryptocollectables are unique, non-fungible, tradable assets powered by blockchain technology. Where traditional cryptocurrencies function like the US Dollar or arcade machine tokens, cryptocollectables are designed to function like trading cards or stamps. Cryptocollectables can be bought, sold or traded, with each being unique and impossible to counterfeit. Cryptocollectables can also be used to represent digital assets of ownership, such as a software license, an exclusive online membership, or a digitized deed to a house.
PixelProperty chose to build upon this revolutionary technology and explore the opportunity of creating meaningful Digital Property with proof of ownership. The concept of digital assets is applied to the digital Properties of PixelProperty, as each Property is represented by a region on the canvas. Not only does the canvas of PixelProperty represent tradeable Properties, it allows the users to customize the appearance and other info. In theory, the digital canvas has the potential to turn into an artistic battle between users, a collaborative masterpiece, or a powerful advertising tool for businesses.
While PixelProperty offers the opportunity for users to interact and share on a digital canvas, it creates the question; Why? Why would a property owner want other users to change their canvas’ display? Why would users want to change the display in the first place? What keeps the canvas evolving, never stagnating? To create an incentive system to tie it all together, PixelPropertyToken (PXL) is produced for the users and owners of each Property, consistently rewarding users of the system. Users who do not own Property can earn Tokens by contributing through changing the canvas, earning owners Tokens too.
The distribution model of PXL is uniquely designed around the use of the Canvas. Upon release, PXL is generated based on the activity on the Properties. There is no initial distribution of Tokens. Owners and contributors work together to evolve the canvas to acquire payouts. Tokens are used to buy Properties, change the color of Properties, and reserve Properties for advertising.
The incentivizing system of generated PXL ensures that Property purchases are not dependent on the price of another cryptocurrency. By pairing PXL with the success of the Canvas, a free market between Properties and Tokens allow the price of Properties to match market demand.
PixelProperty Tokens and Properties are both powered by Ethereum. Ethereum is a blockchain technology which allows for the creation of Smart Contracts and decentralized applications. The PixelProperty Token, PXL, is an ERC20 token, allowing trade between other Tokens and Coins. Due to the secure nature of blockchain technology, once you purchase a Digital Property or start earning PXL, you own them forever and they are stored in your own wallet under your address. We have no control, possession nor mediation of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.
PixelProperty.io is the website created to interact with the PixelProperty Ethereum Smart Contract. Users can communicate directly with the Smart Contract if they choose, our website simply offers a convenient user experience. An additional web server caches data from the smart contract, allowing for a more seamless user experience when using the PixelProperty.io website.
Users and Property owners can draw pictures or upload images to Properties and share them with the world through the digital canvas. All visual expressions are welcome, including pixel art, photography or an organization’s visual display.
Properties showcase the personal messages of their owner through hover text that appears when a user moves their mouse over a given Properties’ display. Should a user click on the property, it will redirect the user to the personal URL of the Property owner. This allows for Properties to be perfect for advertising anything from a personal blog to a YouTube channel, from personal messages to corporate advertising. Property owners are rewarded in PXL when sharing their canvas with the public users. Properties continue to advertise using the owner’s hover text and link while in any mode.
Users can buy Properties, trade them with other users or sell them for PXL to each other. Users can initially purchase Properties off the system in either Ethereum (ETH) or PXL.
The digital canvas is similar to a visual arcade, where it can cost Tokens to play and you may receive Tokens back for your efforts in advancing the display. Users earn Tokens through playing with the canvas in a fashion like a king of the hill style game, where the Tokens a player earns is based on the duration they held the king status. The longer your uploaded image stays on the Property without being altered, the larger your payout is when a user eventually dethrones you by updating the same Property. Users new to PixelProperty who do not have Tokens at first can still set the images of Properties for free, but with reduced payouts.
A property owner can change what mode their property is in as long as it is unreserved. When the property is in “Private” mode, only the owner of the property can change the display picture. When a property is in “Free Use” mode, the owner is sharing it with the public, allowing anyone to change the display picture. Unowned properties, also known as “System Owned” properties, always default to Free Use mode. A Property in Public mode is paid out the same amount as the rewarded user when the image of the Property is changed. A property in Private mode is charged one (1) Token per minute. These charged Tokens are burned, removing them from circulation forever.
If a Property is in Free Use mode, the Property’s display image can be changed by any user. Seventy-two (72) hours after contract release, users can choose to spend Tokens (t) to change the image, reserving the Property from being changed for , and providing a potential reward for ((t + 1) x 5) Tokens. Before Seventy-two hours, Property changes are free for changes costing 2 or less tokens to boost initial circulating supply.
After a Property is updated, it begins accumulating Tokens until the Property image is changed again, triggering a payout. A Property payout is sent to the last user and owner (if owned by a user) of the Property, where 1 Token is paid per full minute since the last update. As a user, best payouts come from Properties that do not change often. If the property was set for free, it follows the same model… Setting for free will reserve the Property from changing for 30 seconds, and a maximum of one (1) Token may be given to the user after one (1) minute (including reserved time).
If a property is in Private mode, only the owner of the property can change the display image. However, private Properties forfeit the right to generate Tokens, and cost one (1) Token per minute for the owner. The Tokens normally generated are never created or added to circulation.
Each user can choose their own hyperlink which will be associated with their Properties. When a user clicks on a Property owned by this user, they are redirected to the owner’s URL link. The maximum length of a hyperlink is 64 characters, and is free to change.
Each user can set their own hover text for all their owned Properties. Hover text appears near the mouse cursor when it is on a Property. The maximum length of a hover text is 64 characters, and is free to change.
Upon contract release, all Properties are “system-owned” and available for purchase. System-owned Properties are purchasable in ETH, PXL, or any mix of the two. Purchasing a system-owned property raises the price relative to the payment distribution between ETH and PXL. For example, purchasing in ETH raises the future ETH price, and purchasing in PXL raises the future PXL price. The rate of which these prices increase are yet to be determined.
Once Properties are purchased from the system they become “user-owned” Properties. User-owned Properties may be reposted on the market but can only accept PXL. Prices are determined by the seller when selling a user-owned property.
As an owner of property, you can list it for sale in the market at your chosen price in terms of PXL. A Property will stay for sale until the owner cancels the sale offer, or the sale has been filled. Trades of user-owned Properties are charged a 2% fee in PXL from the seller’s cut.
Users can transfer ownership of their property to another user should they choose. If being used outside of PixelProperty.io, this should require a confirmation before the transaction can be sent.
The digital canvas will be created with 10,000 unique 10x10 pixel properties. No more will ever be created, and no Property is destroyed. Each Property is unique, mapped to its own identifier, and can never be affected by others due to the natural security built into Ethereum’s blockchain system.
For PXL, there will be an infinite number of Tokens released. The theoretical maximum inflation of PXL possible is 20,000 PXL per minute. This is under the assumption that every property is set to public, and there are no Property changes to interrupt generation, except to renew. If a Property is in private mode, one (1) Token is instead removed from circulation for every minute, rather than generated. If a Property is updated, it can cost variable amounts of Tokens, all of which are burned. The result is a system that balances between Tokens generated and Tokens burned.
Upon contract launch, none of the properties will have owners, other than ten properties that will be reserved to the development team of PixelProperty for advertisements and giveaways. All system-properties will by default be for sale and in free- use mode on release—this will not change. This allows everyone to change every pixel of the canvas.
Every Property is for sale at the start, sharing one price for all system-owned Properties known as the system prices. The system prices begin at 0.0195 ETH and 1000 PXL. Purchasing a system-owned Property will increase the system prices independently from one another.
The system-owned Property price increase does not necessarily mean that properties cannot be bought for less. Users who own properties already can sell to other users on the market on PixelProperty.io, built into the Smart Contract. This gives users the freedom to choose to pay free-market pricing for user-owned Properties, or pay the system price for system-owned Properties. Users will naturally select the cheaper pricing of the two options, meaning income to the contract is only received as the market naturally grows to match the system-prices.
This pricing method is to accomplish a few goals. The first is to allow users to enter our ecosystem through both ETH and PXL. Secondly, Property prices will scale with inflation, and in result will deter hoarders from purchasing the majority of Properties on release. Since ETH price is indeterminate, PXL is created for the canvas to allow system prices for system-owned Properties to ride with the supply and demand of PXL without relying on reasonable future prices for ETH.
All income sources are designed to rely on the success of PixelProperty. Earnings will be used to contribute to the development of the rest of the roadmap. This includes advertisements to increase PixelProperty interest and growth and the development of the live updating billboard.
As a decentralized computing company, income is required to pay for software development, contract deployment, advertisements and to upkeep PixelProperty services. Rather than following an ICO income model, which pays the developers a large sum at once to create value in the company, we opted to rely on the interest of the average user to determine our earnings.
Our initial income comes from the sale of system-owned Properties. Early on, the system price is low to incentivize investors and interest new users. The 10,000 Properties for sale increase in PXL or ETH with every purchase. The system does not require Properties be purchased to function, so this price increase is not a hurdle, but an adaptation to inflation. Properties are designed to slowly sell out as the market rate naturally increases to meet the ceiling placed by the unsold properties.
To sustain future payments, we make a sustainable long-term income through a 2% fee on all Property sales between users. This small fee is taken from the seller’s cut. There is no fee for simply transferring Property ownership.
PixelProperty puts the power of determining an advertisement's visuals into the hands of users. However, not all images can be displayed everywhere. PixelProperty does not force censorship, although we may regulate the types of content that can be displayed on our website.
Quality control becomes very difficult to enforce due to the decentralized nature of Smart Contracts. This becomes even more difficult to enforce in our system because any user can change the display image of any public Properties. Locking violating Properties due to a user change may harm the Property owner, despite the owner not necessarily being the user who acted maliciously. Without human intervention or an overly complicated system to guarantee proper moderation, determining violations is hard. With these thoughts in mind, our solution provides a fair way to monitor content without overstepping boundaries.
Inappropriate content, also known as Not Safe for Work (NSFW) content, is content which depicts nudity or vulgar images. We expect there to be two possible scenarios where NSFW images may potentially be displayed: Property owners setting inappropriate content on their private Property, or when the Property image is set by anyone during Free Use mode.
For private Properties, owners who may leave inappropriate content uploaded on their Property for extended periods of time may be flagged as NSFW by the nominated moderators. These flags do not remove content, but allow an interface to detect if a Property has been set as flagged. PixelProperty will utilize the flag to hide NSFW content on PixelProperty.io and PixelProperty web services. However, users are free to create their own interfaces to display this content outside of PixelProperty. The Property owners or users who set the data will receive no repercussions.
For public Properties, we believe community moderation will naturally occur. Fellow Property owners are invested in the platform and will likely do their part in keeping it clean. As the canvas platform naturally cycles through changes, users are automatically incentivized to overwrite the NSFW content. In such scenarios, it is in the best interest of all advertisers on the platform to police each other. In the possibility that a NSFW image is not immediately changed by another user; our moderators can still flag that Property as NSFW until the image is changed.
On PixelProperty.io, users may view a Property’s hyperlink before clicking through to the site. This allows users to determine whether they wish to visit sites. If the links or hover texts set by owners are NSFW, they may be reset by moderators. The owner may reset the link or hover text for free afterwards.
An owner who continually posts inappropriate content may be blocked from PixelProperty services altogether. We do not have the ability to ban or remove Properties and their data from owners, but we may refuse to display their content on our services. Owners may continue to sell Properties or use Properties to generate PXL.
The digital canvas with live updates will be viewable on any browser with access to the Ethereum blockchain through services such as MetaMask. It may also be viewed with semi-live updates when requested from our server. The web server will act as an intermediary on behalf of the website, caching the most recent state of the PixelProperty canvas. This caching is done to make the user experience more seamless and minimize load time. However, there is nothing stopping users from directly communicating with the Smart Contract through Ethereum on their own.
An updating canvas widget will be available for use on any website which allows embeddable JavaScript code snippets. This feature allows for the PixelProperty to be easily viewed across other websites, bringing value through viewership to the canvas and Tokens.
PixelProperty.io will showcase the reusable canvas and allow users to interact with the canvas Smart Contract. The website will require MetaMask to be used for such interactions. Through the website, users can change their Properties’ visuals, text and links, earn Tokens, and buy or sell Properties. An owner of a Property should expect to have their Properties viewed by others, as PixelProperty.io appeals to users with various interests and goals for their Properties. Users may participate to earn PXL, trade Properties, or simply for the fun of it.
Upon adequate funding, PixelProperty.io plans for a physical advertisement service for the PixelProperty ecosystem. As a long-term roadmap item, we plan to build a (at minimum) one hundred (100) sq. meter live updating billboard in a location with a population of at least one million (1,000,000) citizens. This is an expensive project that will bring the Digital canvas to the real-world, providing a new form of prime internet real estate, giving additional value to the Properties. PixelProperty intends to cover the ongoing costs of this billboard with the 2% fee deducted from user-owner Property trades.
PixelProperty is an evolving digital canvas of Properties using tradable cryptocollectables for artistic, competitive, and advertisement purposes. The cryptocurrency generated by the Properties in the digital canvas power the system. Through limited availability and a unique pricing model, the sales of system-owned Properties are enforced by canvas use. After the initial sales are complete, all user-owned Properties are driven by a free market.
We believe that the live billboard and the services offered by PixelProperty.io will bring real-world value to the Digital canvas. These services will extend the visibility of the Digital canvas beyond the PixelProperty.io domain, allowing anyone to host the Digital canvas anywhere with little to no hassle.

MathJax integration and configuration
For proper syntax for block or span-level mathematics in Kramdown see:
https://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html#math-blocks
which essentially tells to always use $$...$$ for block as well as inline math;
if $$...$$ is used as delimiter then the syntax is identical to standard LaTeX
(with the only exception that | may need to be replaced with \vert);
if standard MathJax delimenters \(...\) or \[...\] are used then lots of
things need to be escaped with \ in different ways (for example,
\_ becomes _ but \\ is becomes
).

Polarimetry¶
Spectral polarimetric variables can be calculated for two configurations: STSR
and LDR
.
LDR mode¶
With this configuration, the LDR can be calculated directly
LDR and LDRmax¶
The polarimetric properties are calculated as a peak average (with filtering of cross-channel noise and decoupling) as well as at the maximum of the co-channel reflectivity (ignoring cross-channel noise level and decoupling).
STSR mode¶
A radar in STSR mode configuration transmits and receives the signal Simultaneous in the V and H channel. The co- and cross channel signal have to be calculated [Myagkov_et_al_2016].
In the files provided for the RPG FMCW the total spectra are saved in the VSpec
variable, \((H + V + 2 \,\operatorname{\mathbb{R}e} \{\mathrm{Cov}\})/4\), while the H spectrum is given as it is.
- (re-)calculate the V spec
- calculate spectral rhv
- calculate the LDR
With the STSR configuration, the LDR cannot be observed directly, but has to be calculated from the correlation coefficient.
Following the assumption of isotropic scatterers [Galletti_Zrnic_2012] and reflection symmetry [Galletti_et_al_2011], as done in rpgpy calc_spectral_LDR()
:
With \(\varrho_\mathrm{hv} = \varrho_s\) for vertical looking observations (Eq. 12 [Galletti_Zrnic_2012]).
Alternatively, there is also an alternative approach by Myagkov [Myagkov_pers_comm]:
where low signals in the cross-channel can be more easily filtered.

This is an example of quantitative modeling of risk factors using Jupyter notebooks with seaborn for visualization and PyMC3 for Bayesian statistical modeling. Click on the "Open in Colab" badge to get your own copy of the notebook that you can edit and experiment with without needing to install anything locally!
Written by Will Maier.
import scipy.stats as stats
import pymc3 as mc
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
seed = 14211
np.random.seed(seed)
We will develop a hierarchical model composed of many factors, defining each factor iteratively. In some cases, the factors will depend on other factors, so we'll work our way up from the most granular factors to risk itself. This approach follows the FAIR ontology (Open Group standard O-RT).
We will express the model using PyMC3, which provides a concise language to describe probabilistic models. Once defined, PyMC3 can also draw samples from the modelled distribution through Monte Carlo simulation.
In the end, we will be able to analyze collections of these samples as traces from which we can estimate characteristics of the distribution including its mean and quantiles.
To begin, we define model as a context manager. As we develop the model, we will do so in this context
model = mc.Model()
Risk models relate various factors, where each factor is itself modeled by a probability distribution. These distributions are defined using parameters that are hard to relate to the underlying concrete phenomena. For example, an expert rarely thinks about a random process like the magnitude of a loss event in terms of its mean or variance. Instead, it is often easier to estimate specific plausible values from the distribution. These can be fit to a distribution and the distribution can then be used to estimate the parameters directly.
This process of estimating distribution parameters is called elicitation. Here, we simply fit a known distribution to whatever plausible data an expert might provide. SHELF offers a more robust method for facilitated elicitation among a group of experts.
The elicit
function returns a variable following the beta distribution with its mu (mean) and sigma (standard deviation) parameters inferred from an array of estimated values in data
. These values may be drawn from actual data or -- where such data is not available -- estimated by experts. Providing more values should usually result in an elicited distribution that more closely matches the experts' intent.
This is most useful for continuous variables with upper and lower bounds, where the bounds are the first and last items in data
. The beta distribution has these characteristics and so is used here. elicit
could be modified to support other continuous distributions as well.
The return value follows the beta distribution deterministically scaled to the minimum and maximum values from data
. The scipy.stats.rv_continuous variable used for the fit is stored as the var
attribute of the return value. This may be used to retrieve characteristics of data
, including its mean or interval.
def elicit(name, data):
y = np.sort(data)
width = y.max()-y.min()
par = stats.beta.fit(y[1:-1], floc=y.min(), fscale=y.max())
var = stats.beta(*par)
scaled_mu = var.mean()/width
scaled_sd = var.std()/width
scaled = mc.Beta(f"{name}_scaled__", mu=scaled_mu, sd=scaled_sd)
dist = mc.Deterministic(name, y.min() + (scaled * width))
dist.var = var
return dist
For convenience, we also define a function to quickly summarize a single variable. The resulting plot includes a histogram, KDE, and indicators for the 50th, 90th, 95th, and 99th percentile values.
def sumplot(data):
sns.distplot(data)
colors = iter(sns.color_palette())
m = np.mean(data)
plt.axvline(m, linestyle=":", color=next(colors), label=f"mean = {m:0.2f}")
ps = [50, 90, 95, 99]
for p in ps:
x = np.percentile(data, p)
plt.axvline(x, linestyle=":", color=next(colors), label=f"{p:0.2f} = {x:0,.2f}")
plt.legend()
with model:
pl = elicit("primary_loss", [0, 100, 1005, 1100, 10000])
sumplot(pl.var.rvs(1000))
with model:
sl = elicit("secondary_loss", [0, 10, 105, 50000, 10000])
sumplot(sl.var.rvs(1000))
with model:
risk = mc.Deterministic("risk", pl + sl)
with model:
trace = mc.sample(seed=seed)
df = mc.trace_to_dataframe(trace)

I purchased this web kit hoping to spend more time coding database interactions rather than interface. All of my expectations have been met so far. This is a fantastic kit with everything I’ve needed. I love the modal window inputs and various calendar and time pickers. I used to do all this with seperate jquery and java scripts, but now it’s all built in. I’m working on two client projects using this kit and they love it.
