A review by John Beachem
* * * * *
CAST Kevin Spacey - Lester Burnham Annette Bening - Carolyn Burnham Thora Birch - Jane Burnham Wes Bentley - Ricky Fitts Mena Suvari - Angela Hayes Peter Gallagher - Buddy Kane Chris Cooper (I) - Colonel Fitts
Seldom has a movie come along that had me walk out in such an absolute daze. In truth, I needed a few days to let the film soak in before I could write this. What I saw can only be described by a word used sarcasticaly several times in the movie. Used here however, I'm completely serious. It was spectacular. Normally I keep my synopsis fairly short, but this is such an involved movie that it's going to require a longer plot outline.
Lester Burnham is a man with one year to live, so the opening narration tells us. We aren't privy to the events surrounding his death however. Lester lives in a generic neighborhood with his wife, Carolyn and daughter, Jane. He and his wife were in love at some point in time, but that time is long since past. His daughter thinks he's a tremendous loser, and it appears that he rather agrees with her. He turns his whole life around when he meets his daughter's friend Angela, who becomes the center of all his fantasies from then on out.
He quits his job, starts working out and smoking pot, buys his dream car, and drives his wife even further over the edge. She has, in fact, become so distanced from Lester that she's now having an affair with her real-estate rival, Buddy Kane. Next door to the Burnhams live what could be viewed as an even more disfunctional family. Colonel Fitts runs his household like a drill seargeant. He requires urine samples from his son Ricky every six months for drug testing. Ricky is, in fact, a drug dealer and a rather obsessive voyeur. The newest interest of his video camera is Jane Burnham. This first disturbs her and then slowly begins to fascinate her. The lives of these seven people slowly grow together more and more until the film's dark yet strangely necessary finale.
Despite the 5 star rating I've given this film, it is certainly not for everybody. It deals with more taboo subjects than I can count. For starters, the entire idea of a man in his forties lusting after a high school girl is rather disturbing to most. Also touched upon are ideas about as abuse, drugs, adultery, voyeurism, the list goes on and on. The rather frightening thing, is that several of these forbidden subjects aren't portrayed as being evil. Those who have moral misgivings about these few topics I've mentioned may want to steer clear of this one.
Now that I've given the warning, I'll cover the things that truly made this a great movie. For starters, the acting is exceptional all around. In particular, Kevin Spacey is amazing in a role that is quite a change for him. Audiences are used to seeing him in roles where his character is intelligent and put together; such as Jack Vinceness (LA Confidential) and Chris Sabian (The Negotiator). Here, his character is, for all intents and purposes, a loser. However, he so completely throws himself into the role that we never for a second doubt him. The other amazing performance comes from newcomer Wes Bentley. Ricky seems to be the only person who is fully in charge of his emotions, if not his life.
While the acting is certainly one of the highpoints, there are far more to this film than I can cover in this review. The script is wonderful and involving, changing from being hilarious to complete seriousness flawlessly. The characters are sharply defined without being sterotypical (with the possible exception of Colonel Fitts), and the music is perfectly used to enhance several key scenes. I've heard some complaints about the film's dark ending not fitting in with the rest of the movie. I completely disagree with this. I thought the ending was esential considering the character types at play here.
Overall, I have to give this a full rating of five stars, yet advise you to see it only if you think they can handle the forbidden subjects, so blatantly depicted. Expect this to get nominations in all the major categories at this year's academy awards.
* * * * * - One of the greatest movies ever made, see it now. * * * * - Great flick. Try and catch this one. * * * - Okay movie, hits and misses. * * - Pretty bad. See it if you've got nothing better to do. * - One of the worst movies ever. See it only if you enjoy pain.

About
Who i am?
I am Enzo Furtini, a 17 years old programmer that lives in Brazil, like to create software and hardware ideas and i put maximum of effort in projects.
I started programming since i was 15 and thenceforth i don’t stop learning new contents and languages.
About the idea:
The ideia for the project came up when i was watching series in a desktop at night, and when i wanted to do things like, change the volume, skip or back the video i woudn’t able to do that without getting out of my bed.
So i had an ideia, do a simple remote controller to supply my “lazy necessities”.

The plot below was created using the following code snippet:
import plotly as ply
from plotly import graph_objs as GO
import numpy as np
x,y = np.random.random(100), np.random.random(100)
layout = GO.Layout(title = "A Simple Scatter Plot")
data = GO.Scatter(x = x, y = y, mode = "markers")
fig = dict(data = [data], layout = layout)
ply.offline.plot(fig, show_link = False, filename = "plotly_scatter.html", auto_open = False)
This creates a stand-alone file that would display only the following plot.
The html file consists of JavaScript contained in three script tags that have been
stripped out. The first tag contains almost all of the plotly.js library.
The third tag consists of JavaScript that adds a window EventListener using the element ID. Thus,
it is kept in its script tag in this document. The second JavaScript contains the actual
commands for the created figure that is associated with the div tag
div id="Simple_Scatter" style="height: 100%; width: 100%;" class="plotly-graph-div"
Note the element ID is defined here as well. Since we've carved out the plotly.js library,
we need never run ply.offline.plot(fig, show_link = False, filename = "plotly_scatter.html", auto_open = False)
again.
Instead, we run ply.offline.plot(fig, output_type = "div, include_plotlyjs = False)
will output the new div tag and the new
script tag for JavaScript needed to create the figure. The new IDs are randomly generated
hex strings (think python's uuid package). Fun side note: if the user zooms in, simply
double click on the plot twice to reset to the original view.
Parse the JSON object in plotly_scatter.json to see that the object keys are
type, x, y, and mode. In this case, our type is scatter, our
mode is markers, and both x and y hold the random data generated by numpy
.
The next step is to include multiple data sequences on a single plot. Here is the snippet:
import plotly as ply
from plotly import graph_objs as GO
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)
u = np.random.randn(100) + 5
v = np.random.randn(100) - 5
y = np.random.randn(100)
yline = GO.Scatter(x = x, y = y, mode = "markers", name = "markers")
uline = GO.Scatter(x = x, y = u, mode = "lines+markers", name = "lines+markers")
vline = GO.Scatter(x = x, y = v, mode = "lines", name = "lines")
data = [yline, uline, vline]
fig = dict(data = data)
ply.offline.plot(fig, output_type = "div", include_plotlyjs = False)
Which produces the following figure.
The objects yline
, uline
, and vline
are actually coded
as dicts, so we can replace the last three lines with:
import json
for obj in [yline, uline, vline]:
for key in ["x", "y"]:
obj[key] = obj[key].tolist()
with open("scatter_yline.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(yline, f)
with open("scatter_uline.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(uline, f)
with open("scatter_vline.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(vline, f)
We then simply nest three d3.json calls and place the variables in a list and pass them to the Plotly.newPlot function as shown in plotly_scatter.js.

Hotel offends ex-lepers
Wire Services | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"The hotel at the hot springs resort in the western prefecture of Kumamoto had said that other guests might be troubled by the presence of some 25 former leprosy patients and canceled their bookings, despite protests that they were cured and there was no chance of infection... Hotel manager Atsuko Maeda was quoted by the Yomiuri Shimbun daily as apologizing for 'our ignorance and lack of knowledge.' ... Japanese who caught leprosy - now known as Hansen's Disease - were forced by a draconian 1953 law to be confined in special leprosy centers despite the discovery of drugs in the late 1940s that made treatment possible as an out-patient. The law was not repealed until 1996. Even then, intense social prejudice caused several thousand people to remain in the centers, too fearful, ill or impoverished to leave."

"The inside of Michael Jackson's creepy lair was revealed for the first time yesterday. A shocking video shows a secret room behind a trapdoor at Jackson's California mansion - where he apparently entertained kids who slept over... The 45-year-old's covert cubbyhole is a twisted version of a child's bedroom. A bed is adorned with pillow cases imprinted with Peter Pan's face and the word Neverland. Sitting on the bed is a red-headed, bug-eyed stuffed doll, and on a nightstand next to the bed is a Mickey Mouse telephone... On the walls are framed pictures of smiling diapered babies, which the TV show said were not Jackson's children."

Dirty rotten scallions
Slate | Submitted by: Kaiser Wilhelm
"People in Beaver County, Penn., are already familiar with the downside of the global economy. The steel mills that once employed tens of thousands have long since closed, unable to compete with low-cost labor in Asia. And now the residents of the former steel capital are enduring another effect of expanding world trade - the biggest hepatitis A outbreak in U.S. history: at least 540 cases and three deaths... This outbreak apparently stemmed from green onions - also known as scallions - served on tacos and other dishes at the Chi-Chi's restaurant in the Beaver Valley Mall... many countries that grow produce for the United States - such as Mexico, Guatemala, and the Philippines - have limited sources of sanitary water, including the water used to irrigate the crops. As a result, a great deal of freshly picked produce can pass through streams of untreated waste before making its way to the United States."

Sanskriti - 20th Indian Dance Festival |
|
What our logo depicts? |
|
| Nataraja is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture. Nataraja is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic ecstatic dancer. His dance is called Tandavam or Nadanta, depending on the context of the dance. The word Nataraja is a Sanskrit term, from Nata meaning "act, drama, dance" and Raja meaning "king, lord"; it can be roughly translated as Lord of dance or King of dance. The sculpture is symbolic of Shiva as the lord of dance and dramatic arts. He is surrounded by a ring of flames, standing on a lotus pedestal, lifting his left leg and balancing over a demon shown as a dwarf who symbolizes ignorance. The dynamism of the energetic dance is depicted with the whirling hair which spread out in thin strands as a fan behind his head. The details in the Nataraja artwork have been variously interpreted by Indian scholars since the 12th-century for its symbolic meaning and theological essence. | |
Bhangra Dance |
|
| The term Bhaṅgṛā refers to the traditional dance from the Indian subcontinent originating in the Majha area of the Punjab region. The dance was associated primarily with the spring harvest festival Baisakhi, and it is from one of the major products of the harvest—bhang(hemp)—that bhangra drew its name. In a typical performance, several dancers executed vigorous kicks, leaps, and bends of the body to the accompaniment of short songs called boliyan and, most significantly, to the beat of a dhol (double-headed drum). Struck with a heavy beater on one end and with a lighter stick on the other, the dhol imbued the music with a syncopated (accents on the weak beats), swinging rhythmic character that has generally remained the hallmark of any music that has come to bear the bhangra name. | |
Bharatanatyam |
|
| Bharatanatyam is an Indian classical dance form. The word Bharata is a mnemonic, consisting of "bha"–"ra"–"ta". According to this belief, bha stands for bhava (feelings, emotions), ra stands for raga (melody, framework for musical notes), and ta stands for tala (rhythm). The term Natya is a Sanskrit word for "dance". The compound word Bharatanatyam thus connotes a dance that harmoniously expresses bhava, raga, and tala. | |
Sambalpuri |
|
| Sambalpuri dance is a group-dance from Sambalpur region in western part of Odisha. This dance performed by the tribal people in festive mood. It comprises of one of the most exquisite form of aesthetic expression for both men and women. Dances Originating from the Villages are known as Folk Dance | |

Fusion dance may employ any dance technique, or arbitrary combination of techniques, associated with any type of dance. It usually incorporates dance partnering techniques such as connection, extension-compression, and frame, and may also utilize other techniques such as ballet technique, contact improvisation, and popping. | |
Garba |
|
| Garba is a form of dance which originated in the state of Gujarat in India. The name is derived from the Sanskrit term Garbha ("womb") and Deep ("a small earthenware lamp"). Many traditional garbas are performed around centrally lit lamp or a picture or statue of the Goddess Shakti. The circular and spiral figures of garba have similarities to other spiritual dances, such as those of Sufi culture. | |
Kathak |
|
| The origin of Kathak is traditionally attributed to the traveling bards of ancient northern India known as Kathakars or storytellers. Kathak dancers tell various stories through their hand movements and footwork, but most importantly through their facial expressions. Kathak evolved during the Bhakti movement, particularly by incorporating the childhood and stories of the Hindu god Krishna, as well as independently in the courts of north Indian kingdoms. | |
Kuchipudi |
|
| Kuchipudi is a dance-drama performance, with its roots in the ancient Hindu Sanskrit text of Natya Shastra. The Kuchipudi performance usually begins with an invocation. Then, each costumed actor is introduced, their role stated, and they then perform a short preliminary dance set to music (dharavu). Next, the performance presents pure dance (nritta).This is followed with by the expressive part of the performance (nritya), where rhythmic hand gestures help convey the story. | |
Mohiniyattam |
|
| Mohiniyattam dance gets its name from the word Mohini – a mythical enchantress avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, who helps the good prevail over evil by deploying her feminine powers. Aattam is a Malayalam language word, and means rhythmic motion or dance. It is traditionally a solo dance performed by women after extensive training. Mohini refers to a "divine enchantress, supreme seductress". She appears in Hindu mythologies during a battle between Devas (good) and Asuras (evil) | |

GENERAL, THE (director: John Boorman; cast:Brendan Gleeson (Martin Cahill), Adrian Dunbar (Noel Curley), Maria Doyle Kennedy (Frances Cahill),Sean McGinley (Gary), Angeline Ball (Tina), Jon Voight (Ned Kenny), Eanna MacLiam (Jimmy), Eamonn Owens (Cahill as a kid), 1998-Ireland)
This B/W film is based on the real-life criminal known affectionately by his cohorts as, "The General," Martin Cahill (Brendan Gleeson).  The film immediately flashes back to his squalid birthplace, showing him as a kid, played by The Butcher Boy's Eamonn Owens, as he was growing up to be a criminal, sent to reform school and almost molested and then beaten by a priest. It seems it was in his blood to be bad. He grows up to despise anyone who isn't from his old neighborhood or part of his gang. Priests are assigned the role of being pederasts, which leaves Cahill with a bitter opinion of religion and any authority figure for the rest of his life.  The police are simply pigs. Voight plays the neighborhood cop who tried to befriend the youngster, but was spurned by him. He is pictured as a straight but not too swift cop; early on in Voight's career, he is doing his sworn duty to kick the poor out of their homes, and as his career is shown moving parallel to Cahill's, we see how he rises up the bureacratic ladder of the police to become an inspector, until he is thought of by Cahill, to be just as dirty as he is, a sort of alter-ego.
Cahill finds romance with Frances (Kennedy) and Tina (Ball), who happen to be sisters, as he lives happily with both of them, raising kids and supporting them with the loot he steals on his capers. He is a devilish little fatty, certainly not looking the part of a big time hood, as he loves to wear self-deprecating T- shirts with pigs and slogans on them, he also makes a habit of trying to hide his face wherever he goes in public or when the police interrogate him. I guess these character quirks are supposed to make him somewhat appealing, or show that he has some kind of psychological failings.
When we talk about Cahill, we are not talking about a Robin Hood, even if that's what he fancies himself as; as he steals from the rich only, but that is only to line his own pockets, and once in a while, he helps out those from his old neighborhood. He does that mostly to gain favor with his people, so that they don't rat him out. He is also shown as being brutal, threatening court witnesses, and finding loopholes in the law to get him off, anyway he can, no matter who he hurts. The film, to its credit, did not make him out to be a good guy.
 He shows no feelings when he learns that 100 honest working stiffs are layed off their job when the Jewelers he robs goes out of business because of the robbery. He shows no feelings robbing houses and living off what he steals. I wonder how many critics who raved about this film because of Cahill's winsome mannerisms, would still like this character if he robbed them. And that is the point of this slickly done, methodical film, that makes it impossible for me to fall for the story, I just don't care what happens to him. His life story bored me.  It was great casting, making Gleeson the lead. But I still find nothing in his story that appeals to me about him. I was not impressed with his remorse after he nailed one of his gang member's hands to a pool table, after he thought that he was stealing from him. Cahill is just a scumbag, and Voight was right. In fact, the film could have been more interesting if it was about Voight. I found him to be the more fascinating character in the story. Sometimes just being ordinary, hides so much more about a person, and Voight seemed to have heavy things on his mind, that might have been more interesting than following this dead-end, obvious tale.
The robberies he pulls off we have seen done countless times before on film. So all the precision planning that goes into robbing the museum of all its valuable paintings, and the chase scenes via car or scooter, were all well done, but so what! This film's theme has been done too many times for me to be carried away by such direction. I wanted something else from this film, but I didn't get it. What I got was a masterful performance, that I can't deny, from Gleeson, and a director who can be magnificent in setting a playful confrontational tone with what he had to work with and letting the camera do its job... If I wasn't revolted by Cahill as a criminal, I would be inclined to rate this film much higher.

Charlie bit my finger - again !
Even had I thought of trying to get my boys to do this I probably couldn't have. Neither were coerced into any of this and neither were hurt (for very long anyway). This was just one of those moments when I had the video camera out because the boys were being fun and they provided something really very funny.

Shiny module for taking free-form notes and displaying them in a customizable UI.
The shinyNotes
package is an enterprise-targeted scalable and customizable shiny
module providing an easy way to incorporate free-form note taking or discussion boards into your shiny applications.
The package includes a shiny module, shinynotes
, that can be included in any shiny application to create a panel containing searchable, editable text broken down by section headers of your choice.
You may install the stable version from CRAN, or the development version using devtools
:
# install from CRAN
install.packages('shinyNotes')
# or the development version, via devtools
devtools::install_github('danielkovtun/shinyNotes')
To start off, try running a demo Shiny application included with the package by running:
library(shinyNotes)
runExample('demo')
Notes can be directly modified by clicking the edit button and using the generated textAreaInput
fields. To delete a note, simply remove all text from a textAreaInput
and click save.
You can add a new note to a section by clicking the “plus” button and selecting an existing category to add a note to. To add a new section header, fill in the inputs provided in the modalDialog
.
A range of markdown text formatting is supported by shinyNotes
. In addition to vanilla markdown, you can write inline math equations that are rendered with MathJax and even include emojis ❗ 😲
See the full documentation at https://danielkovtun.github.io/shinyNotes/.

Use TestBench Xpress to download the hardware design into the emulator and begin the emulation run. This is analogous to powering on the target system when debugging on actual hardware.
Procedure
"Veloce Virtual JTAG Server started. Listening at Port Number <port>"
Results
At this point, the design has been downloaded on to the emulator and the MESP/Virtual JTAG Transactor Server component is waiting for the client to initiate a connection.
If multiple users each want to use a vJTAG within their design on the same Veloce comodel host concurrently, then each user requires unique vmajic and Virtual JTAG Transactor (VJT) instances. Therefore, the transactor port number is not always the same, and a different port number is assigned on each run. Normally the transactor automatically starts vmajic, but if you launch vmajic manually then you must provide the transactor port number using the MESP/Virtual program -d command line switch (detailed below). The port number is then displayed in the emulation start-up transcript.
If a design has multiple instances of vJTAG then only one transactor instance is required, but a separate vmajic instance is required for each instance of vJTAG. In this case the vJTAG instance name to debug must be provided. This is achieved by assigning each vJTAG instance and associated socket connection with a unique port number and socket instance pathname, using the MESP/Virtual program -d command line switch.
The MESP/Virtual program provides several command line switches to control its behavior, as shown in Example 7-1.
| Note | |
|
To quit MESP/Virtual, just press ^C, or use the Sourcery Probe setup menu. |
|
Example 7-1. The MESP/Virtual Program Command-line Switches
./vmajic [-d [host][:port][+instpath]] [-h] [-j lib] [-s] [-c] [-z]
Each MESP/Virtual program command line switch is detailed in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1. MESP/Virtual Command Line Switches
|
Command Line Switch |
Description |
|---|---|
|
-d [host] [:port] [+instpath] |
host the device string specific to the virtual transactor library. For the Veloce JTAG transactor, this is the IP address or hostname of the PC running the TBX software in Figure 7-1. Without the -d switch, MESP/Virtual assumes the JTAG transactor is on the local host. Therefore, the host name can be omitted if MESP/Virtual is running on the Veloce comodel host.
:port a required parameter providing the Virtual JTAG Transactor (VJT) port number.
+instpath specifies the instance path within the design that is associated with this socket connection. This field is optional if the design has only one vJTAG instance, but required if the design has multiple vJTAG instances. It is not permitted for multiple probes to connect to the same vJTAG instance. |
|
-h |
Displays the Help text for each MESP/Virtual command-line switch. |
|
-j lib |
lib the file name (and optional path) of the virtual JTAG Transactor library. For example,
|
|
-s |
Automatically display the MESP/Virtual setup menu on the console. If omitted, the setup menu can be brought up by pressing the <ESC> key in the MESP/Virtual console. |
|
-c |
Disables the vmajic console. This switch is used when the vmajic debug server is automatically launched. |
|
-t |
Using this switch causes the Veloce emulation to terminate when MESP/Virtual shuts down. Without the -t switch, MESP/Virtual disconnects from the Veloce and leaves the emulation running when it shuts down.
Note: The terminate/disconnect mode can now be selected in the debugger with the Ice_Shutdown_On_Exit option.
|
|
-z |
Start MESP/Virtual in stand-alone mode - it does not load any JTAG transactor library, and you can do very little with it but verify uplink communication to the debugger. |
Example 7-2. MESP/Virtual Manual Invocation
Invoke MESP/Virtual from the Veloce Software Debug Suite bin directory:
cd $VSDS_HOME/vprobe/bin
|
Tip: See Table 7-1 for default installation directory locations, then look in the tsp/_templates subdirectory. |
|
Use the following command:
./vmajic -j $VSDS_HOME/vprobe/lib/linux/libJTagClient.so \
-d host:port+inst

vjt_id.vjt_id_str: Veloce VJTAG Transactor
At this point a connection has been created between the MESP/Virtual and the JTAG Transactor component. Now MESP/Virtual will wait for a debug connection request.
Normally there is no need to interact with the MESP/Virtual program directly, as the user interface is implemented by the debugger software. You may use the Sourcery Probe Setup menu in the MESP/Virtual terminal window to terminate the MESP/Virtual program. The emulation model may be terminated or left disconnected based on the Sourcery Probe Setup menu option.

| extractAIC {stats} | R Documentation |
Computes the (generalized) Akaike An Information Criterion for a fitted parametric model.
extractAIC(fit, scale, k = 2, ...)

|
scale |
optional numeric specifying the scale parameter of the
model, see |
k |
numeric specifying the ‘weight’ of the
equivalent degrees of freedom (=: |
... |
further arguments (currently unused in base R). |
This is a generic function, with methods in base R for classes
"aov"
, "glm"
and "lm"
as well as for
"negbin"
(package MASS) and "coxph"
and
"survreg"
(package survival).
The criterion used is
AIC = - 2*log L + k * edf,
where L is the likelihood and edf
the equivalent degrees
of freedom (i.e., the number of free parameters for usual parametric
models) of fit
.
For linear models with unknown scale (i.e., for lm
and
aov
), -2 log L is computed from the
deviance and uses a different additive constant to
logLik
and hence AIC
. If RSS
denotes the (weighted) residual sum of squares then extractAIC
uses for -2 log L the formulae RSS/s - n (corresponding
to Mallows' Cp) in the case of known scale s and
n log (RSS/n) for unknown scale.
AIC
only handles unknown scale and uses the formula
n*log(RSS/n) + n + n*log 2pi - sum(log w)
where w are the weights. Further AIC
counts the scale
estimation as a parameter in the edf
and extractAIC
does not.
For glm
fits the family's aic()
function is used to
compute the AIC: see the note under logLik
about the
assumptions this makes.
k = 2
corresponds to the traditional AIC, using k =
log(n)
provides the BIC (Bayesian IC) instead.
Note that the methods for this function may differ in their
assumptions from those of methods for AIC
(usually
via a method for logLik
). We have already
mentioned the case of "lm"
models with estimated scale, and
there are similar issues in the "glm"
and "negbin"
methods where the dispersion parameter may or may not be taken as
‘free’. This is immaterial as extractAIC
is only used
to compare models of the same class (where only differences in AIC
values are considered).
