Compiling the Likelihood¶
Background¶
The BIASD log-likelihood function is something like
Unfortunately, the integral in the logarithm makes it difficult to compute. It is the rate limiting step for this calculation, which is quite slow in Python. Therefore, this package comes with the log-likelihood function written in C, and also in CUDA. There are three versions in the ./biasd/src
directory. One is in pure C – it should be fairly straight forward to compile. The second is written in C with the GNU Science Library (GSL) – it’s slightly faster, but requires having installed GSL. The third is in CUDA, which allows the calculations to be performed on NVIDIA GPUs. You can use any of the above if compiled, or a version written in Python if you don’t want to compile anything.
How to Compile¶
There’s a Makefile included in the package that will allow you to easily compile all of the libraries necessary to calculate BIASD likelihoods. First, to download GSL, go to their FTP site and download the latest version. Un-pack it, then in the terminal, navigate to the directory using cd
and type
./configure
make
make install
Now, even if you didn’t install GSL, you can compile the BIASD likelihood functions. In the terminal, move to the BIASD directory using cd
, and make them with
make
Some might fail, for instance if you don’t have a CUDA-enabled GPU, but you’ll compile as many as possible into the ./biasd/lib
directory.
Testing Speed¶
To get a feeling for how long it takes the various versions of the BIASD likelihood function to execute, you can use the test function in the likelihood module. For instance, try
import biasd as b
# Switch to the Python version
b.likelihood.use_python_ll()
# Run the test 10 times, for 5000 datapoints
b.likelihood.test_speed(10,5000)
# Switch to the C version and test
# Note: will default to GSL over pure C
b.likelihood.use_C_ll()
b.likelihood.test_speed(10,5000)
# Switch to the CUDA version and test
b.likelihood.use_CUDA_ll()
b.likelihood.test_speed(10,5000)
The actual execution time depends upon the rate constants, but Python is ~ 1 ms, C with GSL is around ~ 50 us, and CUDA (when you have many datapoints) is ~ 1 us.


BRIEF BOOST

by David FowlerCELTIC have been handed an additional allocation of tickets for the Betfred Cup final against Rangers at Hampden.
The Hoops have announced an extremely limited number of briefs are available to season ticket holders who meet the requirements.
A statement on the club website read: "Celtic have received an extremely limited additional allocation for the League Cup final on Sunday, December 8 at the National Stadium.
"The deadline for the original sale was 5pm yesterday (Monday, November 18).
"Those who were successful in original sale and did not purchase by the initial deadline are no longer eligible.
"Tickets for this match have been balloted amongst those STH who meet the following criteria:-
"STH on the HCTS whose payment was taken by Direct Debit for home Cup matches v Dunfermline (August 17, 2019), Partick Thistle (September 25, 2019) and who purchased a ticket under their own client ref for the League Cup semi-final v Hibs (November 2, 2019) - and who were not successful in the original sale of tickets."
"The deadline to purchase your ticket is 3pm this Saturday (November 23)."

Man charged with trespassing in NTU hostel, taking photos of male student showering
SINGAPORE, Nov 22 — A 20-year-old man has been handed seven charges, including taking two photographs of a male student showering in a residential hall at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and making obscene films.
Lau Jun Wei, whose occupation was not made known, returned to a district court on Wednesday (Nov 20) for a further mention of the case.
Lau was charged last month with three counts of criminal trespass and one count of causing distress to the student.
He is also facing three charges under the Films Act, for making obscene films at Jurong Point shopping mall.
NTU incident
The Singaporean, who is neither a student nor an employee of the university, is accused of trespassing into an NTU hostel on three separate days this year:
Feb 24, at about 5.20pm
April 16, at about 7.15pm
April 21, at about 12.30pm
Court documents showed that Lau allegedly took the photos on April 21. The alleged victim cannot be named due to a court order to protect his identity.
TODAY previously reported that several students helped to detain Lau that day at Hall of Residence 3.
An NTU spokesperson said then that closed-circuit television cameras cover most of the common areas in residential halls. Campus security guards also regularly patrol the halls and are stationed at every hall from 9pm to 9am.
If convicted of causing distress to the student under the Protection from Harassment Act, Lau could be jailed up to six months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.
Criminal trespass carries a maximum punishment of three months’ jail and a fine of S$1,500.
Obscene films
Separately, Lau is accused of using his mobile phone to film a man masturbating another man in a toilet at Jurong Point on July 14 last year, at about 9pm.
He is also accused of making two films of himself masturbating a man in a toilet at the same mall on April 3.
First-time offenders convicted of making an obscene film under the Films Act could be jailed up to two years, fined up to S$40,000 or both. Repeat offenders could be jailed up to two years, fined up to S$100,000 or both.
Lau remains out on bail of S$5,000 and will return to court on December 11. — TODAY

An R port of the Ruby gem vcr
Check out the HTTP testing book and the vcr vignettes.
library(vcr)
library(crul)
cli <- crul::HttpClient$new(url = "https://eu.httpbin.org")
system.time(
use_cassette(name = "helloworld", {
cli$get("get")
})
)
#> user system elapsed
#> 0.151 0.013 0.566
The request gets recorded, and all subsequent requests of the same form used the cached HTTP response, and so are much faster
system.time(
use_cassette(name = "helloworld", {
cli$get("get")
})
)
#> user system elapsed
#> 0.079 0.006 0.085
Importantly, your unit test deals with the same inputs and the same outputs - but behind the scenes you use a cached HTTP response - thus, your tests run faster.
The cached response looks something like (condensed for brevity):
http_interactions:
- request:
method: get
uri: https://eu.httpbin.org/get
body:
encoding: ''
string: ''
headers:
User-Agent: libcurl/7.54.0 r-curl/3.2 crul/0.5.2
response:
status:
status_code: '200'
message: OK
explanation: Request fulfilled, document follows
headers:

body:

string: "{\n \"args\": {}, \n \"headers\": {\n \"Accept\": \"application/json,

\n \"Connection\": \"close\", \n \"Host\": \"httpbin.org\", \n \"User-Agent\":

recorded_at: 2018-04-03 22:55:02 GMT
recorded_with: vcr/0.1.0, webmockr/0.2.4, crul/0.5.2
All components of both the request and response are preserved, so that the HTTP client (in this case crul
) can reconstruct its own response just as it would if it wasn’t using vcr
.
The short version is: vcr
helps you stub HTTP requests so you don’t have to repeat HTTP requests.
The main use case is for unit tests for R packages.
vcr
currently works with the crul
and httr
packages; support for curl
is in the works.

vcr::use_cassette

there’s no cached data to use, so we allow HTTP requests until you’re request is done.webmockr
so that future requests will match the stub. This stub is an R6 class with details of the interaction (request + response), but is not on disk.When you run that request again using vcr::use_cassette
or vcr::insert_cassette
:
webmockr
to match the request to cached requests, and since we stubbed the request the first time we used the cached response.Of course if you do a different request, even slightly (but depending on which matching format you decided to use), then the request will have no matching stub and no cached response, and then a real HTTP request is done - we then cache it, then subsequent requests will pull from that cached response.
webmockr
has adapters for each R client (again, right now only crul) - so that we actually intercept HTTP requests when webmockr
is loaded and the user turns it on. So, webmockr
doesn’t actually require an internet or localhost connection at all, but can do its thing just fine by matching on whatever the user requests to match on. In fact, webmockr
doesn’t allow real HTTP requests by default, but can be toggled off of course.
The main use case we are going for in vcr
is to deal with real HTTP requests and responses, so we allow real HTTP requests when we need to, and turn it off when we don’t.
This gives us a very flexible and powerful framework where we can support webmockr
and vcr
integration for any number of R clients for HTTP requests and support many different formats serialized to disk.
You’re looking for webmockr. webmockr
only matches requests based on criteria you choose, but does not cache HTTP interactions to disk as vcr
does.
vcr
to Suggests
in your DESCRIPTION file (optionally add webmockr
, but it’s not explicitly needed as vcr
will pull it in)tests/testthat/
directory called helper-yourpackage.R
(or skip if as similar file already exists). In that file use the following lines to setup your path for storing cassettes (change path to whatever you want):vcr
, wrap them in a vcr::use_cassette()
call like:library(testthat)
vcr::use_cassette("rl_citation", {
test_that("my test", {
aa <- rl_citation()
expect_is(aa, "character")
expect_match(aa, "IUCN")
expect_match(aa, "www.iucnredlist.org")
})
})
OR put the vcr::use_cassette()
block on the inside, but put testthat
expectations outside of the vcr::use_cassette()
block:
library(testthat)
test_that("my test", {
vcr::use_cassette("rl_citation", {
aa <- rl_citation()
})
expect_is(aa, "character")
expect_match(aa, "IUCN")
expect_match(aa, "www.iucnredlist.org")
})
Don’t wrap the use_cassette()
block inside your test_that()
block with testthat
expectations inside the use_cassette()
block, as you’ll only get the line number that the use_cassette()
block starts on on failures.
devtools::check()
vs. devtools::test()

vcr
looks for similarity in your HTTP requests to cached requests. You can set what is examined about the request with one or more of the following options:
body
headers
host
method
path
query
uri
By default, we use method
(HTTP method, e.g., GET
) and uri
(test for exact match against URI, e.g., http://foo.com
).
You can set your own options by tweaking the match_requests_on
parameter:
The canonical vcr

There’s a number of features in this package that are not yet supported, but for which their parameters are found in the package. For example, decode_compressed_response
is a parameter in use_cassette()
but it is ignored right now.
We’ve tried to make sure the parameters that are ignored are marked as such. Keep an eye out for package updates for changes in these parameters, and/or let us know you want it and we can move it up in the priority list.

The LOOP package provides a library of classes implemented using its models. All classes included in its library were created or derived from actual implementations used in either academic or commercial applications, and many are reused in more than one application. Therefore, even though the classes presented here are provided mainly as use examples of LOOP models they are very useful for construction of software applications.
Most of these classes were initially created as Lua conventional modules and were later converted to classes so it is straightforward to convert them back to modules that don't lay on LOOP. Some of these classes can even be used as an instance of itself thus avoiding the creation of singleton objects. However, in some scenarios, it is interesting to be able to have multiple instances. The LOOP Class Library is organized in six groups as presented below.
This group contains classes useful for instrumentation of Lua code or implementation of logging mechanisms for applications. These classes usually perform slow operations or use of the debug API of Lua and therefore should not be used heavily in implementation of performance critical applications.
Class of objects that generate human-readable textual representation of Lua values. This class is typically used to print out value of variables, data structures or objects in a Lua application using a syntax similar to the Lua language. It is useful for implementation of command line debug mechanisms. This class can also be used as a simple serialization mechanism for a restricted set of Lua values.
Class of objects used to compare pairs of values according to some criteria of similarity. By default, it matches pairs of same values or structurally isomorphic tables (including their meta-tables). Functions with same bytecodes, upvalue contents and isomorphic environments also match. However, such matching criteria may be redefined. This class is useful for implementing automated test mechanisms for Lua applications.
Class of objects that implement a command-line prompt to access the lexical scope of a point in an application. The command-line prompt also allows to navigate through active co-rotines and access the lexical scope of the point they are currently executing. It is also possible to navigate to inactive functions in order to access the current value of their upvalues. This class is useful for implementation of command-line debugging mechanisms.
Class of objects that provide operations to generate and manage verbose messages of a continuous application. All messages are flagged and may be hierarchly organized in order to reflect the application structure. The flagged messages can be turned on/off by flag or group of flags. The messages also provide support for indentation in order to reflect the hierarchical structure of function calls in the application. This class is useful for implementation of logging mechanisms in server applications.


Carissa Pearlman
Dance choreography and fitness instruction
Carissa believes that dance is more than choreography and music. For her, it's a moment where her body and soul move freely through time and space. From a young age, Carissa has always had a strong connection with dance. She began her journey at local suburban studios such as Dorothy's Dancing, Northwest Ballet Academy in Schaumburg, and Kristina's Studio of Dance in Buffalo Grove. After learning the core styles such as tap, jazz, hiphop, and ballet, she started exploring higher elements of dance. She was on the orchesis dance team while in high school and began choreographing routines for the student shows and sports games.
Carissa had the opportunity to continue to study dance while attending Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She was introduced to the history of dance and the creation of choreography throughout her coursework. During her sophomore year of school, she studied in the city of Merida, located in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Carissa was introduced to a local studio owner who pushed her technical boundaries with Spanish ballet and styles such as Merengue, Salsa and Cumbia.
In 2011, her learning and inspiration continued to grow. Carissa was recognized by the Carthage Theater Department for "Outstanding Achievement in Choreography and Composition" for her Bollywood piece. In 2013, she was able to see Bollywood first hand by traveling to India for a January study course. That same year, she completed her Bachelor's of Arts degree and a minor in Dance.
Carissa loves traveling, inspiring others, and building new relationships. Carissa continues her love for dance by completing a variety of fitness certifications. She enjoys teaching classes and finding new ways to explore the beautiful world of dance.
Carissa continued her love for dance by completing a variety of fitness certifications. She developed a new Muscle Ballet format for a local gym and enjoys certifications in:

One key rule change which allowed Lionel Messi to dominate Ballon d’Or over the years
Lionel Messi is on the brink of winning his sixth Ballon d’Or if reports from Spain are to be believed. Doing so on December 2 will make the Argentine the most succesful individual in the history of the award. However, all that was made possible by one key change almost twenty-five years ago.
Lionel Messi is on the cusp of history with the Argentine one of the favourites to win the 2019 Ballon d’Or. The Barcelona ace is up for the award against Virgil van Dijk, who are the two leading candidates from a list of thirty finalists.
While Van Dijk’s win would hand him his first-ever Ballon d’Or, a win for Messi would see him bag his historic sixth trophy. However, had it not been for a change in 1995, he would not have been able to lay claim to even one of his five awards!
Prior to 1995, Ballon d’Or was an exclusive award given to the best European players in the world. As such, players from all other continents were ineligible when the shortlists were drawn. Messi became one of the biggest benefactors from the rule change, which called for universal inclusivity, as he went on to win the award five times.
The Argentina skipper holds the record jointly with Cristiano Ronaldo for most wins in the history of the award. He could claim his sixth win, should he beat his competition for the 2019 Ballon d’Or.

ShipStation's custom store integration works by requesting orders from One ShipStation (shipped and unshipped), and then by notifying One ShipStation when an order has been shipped.
Once you've configured One ShipStation's settings below, create a custom store in ShipStation. You'll need to provide ShipStation with:
If you have defined custom order statuses, you will need to define them in ShipStation accordingly. By default, Craft Commerce uses "processing" for "Awaiting Shipment Statuses" in ShipStation, and "shipped" for "Shipped Statuses". Other ShipStation statuses can be left as is, as Commerce doesn't have any corresponding statuses. See below for the statuses currently enabled.
This username associated with your custom store, not your Craft nor ShipStation usernames.
This password associated with your custom store, not your Craft nor ShipStation passwords.
The number of orders returned for each request from ShipStation. Too many orders at once will take too long to respond, while too few will require many requests. (Default 25)
Order IDs sent to ShipStation will be integers (eg 1234
). Optionally add a prefix to the ID to guarantee unique IDs (eg a prefix of commerce_
would yield an Order ID of commerce_1234
).
Set your Custom Store's Order Statuses according to your business process and the statuses enabled in Craft Commerce
{{ status.handle }}
When setting up your ShipStation Custom Store, enter this URL so ShipStation can retrieve and update orders.

Important Message from Yew Labs
Using the Projection Device
- Finding puzzles: Most puzzles must first be “found” using the Projection Device before you can begin solving them. Generally, you can do this by talking to a person or entity who will give you the puzzle. An exclamation mark above someone’s head means their puzzle has not been found yet; talking to them and pressing enter or clicking the "Open Puzzle" button will give you access to the puzzle.
Once one person has found the puzzle, the rest of the team can view it on the website without needing to use the Projection Device. Puzzles that are available in the Projection Device but that have not been found yet will be indicated on the various round pages of the website, accessible through the Campus Map or the puzzle piece dropdown menu in the top bar.
The round pages on the website may also provide additional information that helps find the puzzles. Most puzzles are localized to their corresponding round locations: for example, if you hover over a puzzle that needs to be found in the Green Building round, it will say "Find this puzzle in the ⊥IW Green Building!". This means that you will not need to go anywhere else in ⊥IW to find that particular puzzle!
If puzzles do not appear after talking to the appropriate entity in the Projection Device, try checking to make sure that pop-ups are enabled, since puzzles will open in a new window. If that still doesn't work, contact us. - Puzzles and the Projection Device: Any puzzle that requires the Projection Device to solve will be clearly marked with a disclaimer like this:
Yew Labs anticipates that you will need to use the Projection Device for this puzzle.If a puzzle or metapuzzle does not contain this disclaimer, it will not require you to use the Projection Device in any way.
- JUICE: To uncover more puzzles and areas of ⊥IW, you will need to gather JUICE. JUICE is primarily earned by solving puzzles, but you will also gain some JUICE passively over time and by participating in some events.
Most areas of ⊥IW have their own localized JUICE measurement. Solving puzzles in a specific area contributes JUICE to that area, and a smaller amount of JUICE to all other areas. You can view the current amount of JUICE you have in any area, as well as how much JUICE you need to access more puzzles, in the top-right corner of the round page (accessible through the Campus Map or the puzzle piece dropdown menu in the top bar). - Dialogue: Most of the dialogue in the Projection Device is for flavor only. If a puzzle is not marked as requiring the Projection Device, then it will not use any dialogue from the characters in the Projection Device either.
- Hints: You may find that reaching certain areas of ⊥IW requires some creativity. Should you need navigation assistance, you may request hints in the upper-right corner of the Projection Device page, just as you would for ordinary puzzles.
- Browser: We recommend using a modern desktop browser equipped with JavaScript, like Firefox or Google Chrome, for accessing the Projection Device. The Projection Device is unlikely to be usable on mobile devices due to its resource-intensive nature.
Additionally, the Projection Device needs to store data for you as you explore the universe. Thus, we recommend not using “incognito” windows since these interfere with the storage of data. Certain parts of the universe may behave in unintended ways if this happens. - Low-Quality Mode: Depending on your computer hardware, the Projection Device may not run optimally. If this is the case, expand the interface in the top right corner of the Device, click the gear icon, and enable Low-Quality Mode. If you find the Device still not usable, feel free to contact us for assistance. However, the hunt does not require all team members to use the Projection Device, and you can continue solving puzzles as normal on the hunt website.
- You must never reverse-engineer, hack, decompile, or otherwise interact with the Projection Device itself in any unintended way. Advanced technology should not be messed with! Contact us if you’re unsure of whether something crosses the line.

LVC
LVC is a verfied compiler which is based on the intermediate language IL, a functional language with nested, mutually recursive definitions. IL replaces SSA's dominance criterion by lexical scoping, hence we say IL realizes "Functional SSA".
In previous work we showed that SSA-based register allocation can be faithfully implemented on functional SSA. In this work we are concerned with the verified translation from an imperative language to functional SSA, which is closely related to SSA construction.
The translation starts with a language that already employs nested, mutually recursive function definitions, but uses imperative variables. The translation consists of the following phases:
- Unreachable Code Analysis and Unreachable Code Elimination
- Liveness Analysis and Dead Variable Elimination
- Adding parameters to function definitions to obtain a functional program
Our framework has a generic fixed-point solver and supports forward and backward analyses. The fixed-point solver is implemented in Coq and requires a proof that the analysis domain is a partial order without infinite ascending chains to guarantee termination.
We specify soundness and completeness of unreachable code, devise an unreachable code analysis, and prove the unreachable code analysis sound and complete. Based on unreachable code, we implement unreachable code elimination (UCE) and prove it correct.
We specify soundness of liveness, devise a liveness analysis, and prove the analysis sound. Based on liveness, we implement dead variable elimination (DVE) and prove it correct.
The proofs for UCE and DVE require an interesting simulation argument: In both cases a step must be argued where the source program reduces (for example, a variable definition) while the target program does not reduce (because the variable definition has been removed). Our proof method is induction on the program structure, facilitated by a fixed-point lemma about our simulation, which we call the extension lemma. We prove the extension lemma for the imperative interpretation and for the functional interpretation.


Teaching methods can best be defined as the types of
principles and methods used for instruction. There are many types of teaching methods,
depending on what information or skill the teacher is trying to convey. Class
participation, demonstration, recitation, and memorization are some of the teaching
methods being used. When a teacher is deciding on their method, they need to be
flexible and willing to adjust their style according to their students. Student success
in the classroom is largely based on effective teaching methods.
Diversity in Teaching in the Classroom
For effective teaching to take place, a good method must be
adopted by a teacher. A teacher has many options when choosing a style by which to
teach. The teacher may write lesson plans of their own, borrow plans from other
teachers, or search online or within books for lesson plans. When deciding what
teaching method to use, a teacher needs to consider students' background knowledge,
environment, and learning goals. Teachers are aware that students learn in different
ways, but almost all children will respond well to praise.
Students have different ways of absorbing information and
of demonstrating their knowledge. Teachers often use techniques, which cater to
multiple learning styles to help students retain information and strengthen
understanding. A variety of strategies and methods are used to ensure that all students
have equal opportunities to learn.
A teaching method that includes questioning is similar to
testing. A teacher may ask a series of questions to collect information of what
students have learned and what needs to be taught. Testing is another application of
questioning. A teacher tests the student on what was previously taught in order to
identify if a student has learned the material.
Explaining
This form is similar to lecturing. Lecturing is teaching by
giving a discourse on a specific subject that is open to the public, usually given in
the classroom. This can also be associated with modeling. Modeling is used as a visual
aid to learning. Students can visualize an object or problem, then use reasoning and
hypothesizing to determine an answer.
Demonstrating
Demonstrations are done to provide an opportunity to learn
new exploration and visual learning tasks from a different perspective. A teacher may
use experimentation to demonstrate ideas in a science class. A demonstration may be
used in the circumstance of proving conclusively a fact, as by reasoning or showing
evidence.
The use of examples and storytelling likely allows for
better understanding but also greater individual ability to relate to the information
presented. Learning a list of facts provides a detached and impersonal experience while
the same list, containing examples and stories, becomes, potentially, personally
relatable.
Collaborating
Having students work in groups is another way a teacher can
direct a lesson. Collaborating allows students to talk with each other and listen to
all points of view in the discussion. It helps students think in a less personally
biased way. When this lesson plan is carried out, the teacher may be trying to assess
the lesson by looking at the student's: ability to work as a team, leadership skills,
or presentation abilities. It is one of the direct instructional methods.
Learning by Teaching
This method is very effective when done correctly. Having
students teach sections of the class as a group or as individuals is a great way to get
the students to really study out the topic and understand it so as to teach it to their
peers. By having them participate in the teaching process it also builds
self-confidence, self-efficacy, and strengthens students speaking and communication
skills. Students will not only learn their given topic, but they will gain experience
that could be very valuable for life.
The Faculty Development Programme is specially designed for
teachers, researchers and industrial organizations for their management education
requirements. Since the first course that was offered in 1979, the programme has been
continuously modified and restructured to address new developmental needs of management
educators. Faculty development is a similarly used term to staff
development and professional
development, in settings that pertain to educators. Professional development
for educators may include teacher
training, and is usually considered pre-service, or before beginning teaching.
Faculty development and professional development may both
be used to refer to on-going professional learning for educators. Such learning may
take place during work hours. These learning pursuits may be for credit or noncredit,
therefore they may be with a college or university, through a school district, or
private consulting agency. Additionally educators may pursue self-directed
learning. K-12 faculty development and professional development and higher
education faculty development and professional development have very different
traditions, practices and terminologies. Higher education faculty development is
beginning to take place not just face-to-face but also online.

#688635 - Don’t kill libvirt VMs when restarting libvirt
I ported a patch from the Fedora systemd packaging which avoids killing all
processes of a cgroup when restarting a service. This is necessary for
libvirtd, otherwise all virtual machines get killed when you restart
libvirt-bin.service. libvirt-bin 0.10.2-4 (experimental) ships systemd service
files.

After The Graduate, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Carnal Knowledge, Heartburn, even Primary Colors, there's no question that director Mike Nichols relishes exploring the relationship between the sexes. Which explains why he was drawn to comedian Garry Shandling's concept of an extraterrestrial who was sent to Earth to impregnate a woman as a part of some sort of universal domination plan. Having this alien come from an advanced civilization of neutered, cloned males with little knowledge of the behavior of the female of the species is a clever concept, ripe for scathing social satire, but its execution misses the mark. In addition to his writing and producing efforts, Shandling stars, utilizing his wry, dead-pan understatement to be an awkward, almost totally passive hero.  The gag is amusing the first time, the second, even the third. After that, it loses its vibe. Posing as a banker in Phoenix, his copulating mission is simple.  "I'm really very horny!" A sleazy co-worker, played by Greg Kinnear, takes him to troll at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting where he meets Annette Bening, a neurotic, lovable Earth-chick who is, indeed, easy. "Don't laugh," she says, "but I'm working as a real-estate agent" - a line that immediately elicits chuckles as a reminder of her role in American Beauty. Bening's terrific, while John Goodman, Linda Fiorentino, Camryn Manheim, Janeane Garofalo and Ben Kingsley add to the mix. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, What Planet Are You From? is a droll but silly, superficial 6. I suspect Garry Shandling will have a limited big-screen career as a leading man.

Video games are art
The statement "video games are art" has been hotly debated for at least the last seven years. In 2010, Roger Ebert (yes, film critic Roger Ebert) famously wrote a screed arguing that "video games can never be art".
Ebert believes "No one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great poets, filmmakers, novelists... painters, composers, and so on."
Part of his essay was in response to a TEDX talk by game creator Kelly Santiago, who argues that video games should be considered art and uses examples of games like Flower, which was inducted into the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2013.
But are video games only art if they ∗extremely Indiana Jones voice∗ belong in a museum? Of course not! Art is for everybody.
Twine games provide a platform for people to make games who don't have game development companies behind them, may not be able to write a single line of code, but can still create beautiful, immersive, moving experiences that we can argue are worthy of comparison with works of art (sorry, Ebert).
The accessibility of these tools and the increased visibility of indie games on platforms such as itch.io have been huge for democratizing the art of video games for creators and players. Let's explore some titles, bask in the beauty of the genre, and maybe even find something to play next.
Twine after twine
Originally created by Chris Klimasin in 2009, Twine calls itself "an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories."
Much like the hypertext fiction that we explored authors on Twitter creating, Twine games use the technology of the browser (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and take advantage of the games' clickability to let the player work their way into and through the world they create.
Unlike earlier text-based games like MUDs, Twines can include illustrations, embedded videos, often have soundtracks, and are usually played solo. However, there are many (like Mighty Owlbear's The Road To Adventure) that draw on the language of these early games, using directions like "Go North. Go South." to explore.
They're games made by and for people who love games and are familiar with tropes from MUDs, RPGs, JRPGs, survival games, and visual novels, as well as pop cultural influences that aren't reflected often in games (such as Crystal Warrior Ke$ha, the story of an epic magical battle fought by the pop singer).
Mechanics-wise, you are always clicking on hyperlinks to advance through the story. Sleep is used as a narrative device in many text-based games, which take place over the course of days or weeks, and you may have to return to a certain page to do this. Once you find whatever action, like sleeping or exploring, moves the story forward, it's tempting to race through these games, but you'll find that actions taken will often have an effect on the outcome of the story and that Twine stories almost always have multiple endings.
It's unclear if B.J. Best's Unofficial Sea-Monkey(R) Simulation was actually built on Twine, but it's a great example. It opens with the Don DeLillo quote: "All plots tend to move deathward," and uses a chronological mechanic of interacting with your sea monkey colony every day to tell a story of child in a less than ideal home situation, with eight possible endings.
The genre and contents of games on Twine are diverse, but more often than not they explore personal problems and themes that aren't touched upon in mainstream games, art, or literature. The authors of Twine games are generally people whose stories aren't told at all through traditional media; gender non-conforming artists, minorities, and people telling stories from a neurodivergent perspective. They also often have content warnings for themes like abuse, assault, self harm, and substance abuse.
 The game illustrates the struggle of performing everyday tasks with depression and "aims to show other sufferers of depression that they are not alone in their feelings, and to illustrate to people who may not understand the illness the depths of what it can do to people." It's one of the most well-known examples in the genre of empathy games, which let you embody someone else's experience through the gameplay.
In the realm of indie games, the authors are often acknowledging their struggles with their own bodies and minds, and how they've used others' games and outlets in art and media to cope.
As you may have guessed by now, there are also many games that cater to more unusual sexual proclivities. A popular vore-themed game, Devour Comfort, is about resting inside the belly of a dragon. In the disclaimer on itch.io, they state:
Of course being eaten alive isn't what gets most people's gears going, but it's really cool that there are people creating media for people who it does!
It's also a great genre of games for people like us here at MONTAG, who want to think way too much about technology and the future. Cyberpunks, start your engines:
Heartscapes and Quick Faves
These are all games from just a few of our favorite creators that have to do with technology, humanity, and the future of both.
Porpentine Charity Heartscape is one of my favorite visual artists and game creators.
With Those We Love Alive tells the story of an artificer brought into the court of a cruel empress (mine wears majestic ram horns, a mantle of flesh rags, her eyes burning with cold fire) and the arrival of someone you thought you would never see again. Themes include fantasy, magical artifacts, denial, identity, trauma, and loyalty.
Vesp: A History of Sapphic Scaphism is a "vespo-sapphic pesticidepunk UV romance thriller." In a cyberpunk dystopia overrun with deadly, venomous wasps, the protagonist struggles in therapy sessions with the overwhelming desire to identify with and become one with this threat to civilization. She aids a terrorist attack against the city in the wasps' favor which throws it into pesticide-drenched chaos, ushering in the age of insects. Themes include society, monstrosity, gender, madness, death, contagion, eroticism, devotion, transaction, empathy and hallucination.
Queered Static by @RiotJayne is a beautiful mashup of found glitch art and a narrative about trans issues and anxiety ("with a little trans erotica thrown in for good measure.") It's very much NSFW, but if you enjoy queer stories and net aesthetics it's a quick must-play.
ARC is a black and green pure text story about being a cyborg and doing some crime:
If you haven't had enough of Better Bodies and thinking about all the cool things we could do with networked eyes and super robot legs, you'll love it.
The last recommended game is called Recipe for Love, in which a robot has rented you (hello, gig economy!) to teach it what love is. The illustrations are unsettlingly adorable, it's super short and SFW.
These are just a few of our faves, and you can find hundreds more Twine games for any identity, interest, or fetish on itch.io. If you have any game recommendations, interesting Twines, or just want to shout about whether videos games are art or not, email us at montag@getgrover.com.

Duncan beats Simpson in playoff at RSM Classic in Georgia
REUTERS: Unheralded Tyler Duncan emerged from obscurity, making birdie at the second extra hole to beat fellow American Webb Simpson in a playoff at the RSM Classic in Georgia on Sunday.
World number 387 Duncan displayed composure that belied his low ranking, sinking a 12-foot putt to capture his maiden victory in the final event of the year on the PGA Tour.
In doing so, he ended the hot streak of overnight leader Brendon Todd, who was seeking a rare third consecutive victory.
But Todd ran out of steam, shooting two-over-par 72 to finish three shots off the pace in fourth place.
Duncan, in his third season on tour, came from four shots behind in the final round. After bogeying the first hole he roared back in style, playing as though with nothing to lose.
He birdied the last two holes in regulation to shoot 65 and tie former U.S. Open champion Simpson (67) at 19-under-par 263 on the Seaside course at Sea Island.
"I won on the PGA Tour. That's something I've always dreamed of," said 30-year-old Duncan.
"I knew it was going to be a tough day. It was colder and the wind picked up. I was just trying to do the best I could and fight to the end.
"I hit one of the best four-irons I've ever hit on 17 and then the 30-footer I made on 18 just to get into the playoff, I'm so happy right now."
Colombian Sebastian Munoz (68) could have joined the playoff by making a 25-foot birdie at the last, but missed and settled for third place.
Todd, meanwhile, started the day with a two-shot lead, seemingly on the verge of becoming the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive starts.
But a double-bogey at the fifth, where he had to take a penalty stroke after yanking his approach shot into a hazard, took the wind out of his sails.
Todd's streak of 12 straight rounds in the 60s ended with a whimper.

I'm having problems getting this to work correctly and when I try to run it from the command line I get a Segmentation error. This program is for approximating the number using Farey Sequence. At the end of the loop the output needs to be in fraction form, the restrictions are for the loop to stop when either the
mediant denominator is larger than 1,000,000 or when the mediant is within 10-6
of x. Also the program should read the value of x from the command line, rather than prompting for it.
The reason is argv[1] is otherwise out of range given the way you are programming reading argv[]. Normally it is done with a loop based on the value of argc.
also i want my x value to be inputed directly from the command line (i am compiling and running this on ubuntu). I am unsure how to do this.
When I try: ./a.out 0.324235345
^some random value
into the command line nothing happens. I have to close out the terminal completely in order to type any new commands. What's happening to my cout? Why does no value for my mn/md appear?
ok. so i got it to work. It didn't have anything to do with x, and that is all working properly as is (I tried both with and without it). However, the problem now seems to be that the while loop isn't listening to my conditions. The only way I can get correct results is if I use || but i want the program to adhere to BOTH conditions (but I don't get acurate results with &&). Any ideas?

How to Play the Royal Game of Ur
The Royal Game of Ur dates back to 2600 B.C. It is the most complete ancient board game known to date. In 1926, Sir Leonard Woolley discovered the board and pieces while excavating the royal tombs in Ur. This ancient Mesopotamian city is located in now modern day Iraq and is said to be the birthplace of Abraham (Genesis 11:31). British Museum’s curator Irving Finkel discovered the rules on a cuneiform tablet where both the board and tablet are on display.
Step 1: Start with a Blank Board
Step 2: Learn the Rules
- Each player receives 7 pieces and 3 casting tokens (can be sticks, coins, etc.)
-
The starting player casts their 3 tokens, count the value, and move a piece that many spaces.
- Player 1 starts by entering a piece through the square marked with the letter ‘A’ and follow the path off the board to letter ‘B’.
-
Player 2 follows a similar path but on their side.
-
If you land a square occupied by the other player’s piece and it’s not on a marked square, the opponent’s piece is knocked off the board and must start over.
-
If a piece is on a marked square, it is safe from being knocked off.
-
If you land a marked square, you can cast/roll again. You don’t necessarily have to move that piece.
-
Once you made your way around the path, you must roll/cast the exact value to leave the board.
The first player to move all 7 of their pieces off the board wins.

What's next?
- We are now in the world of internet of things.
- GIS is changing everyday and so is transportation world.
- CLI centric tools are become more popular due to their crispy look and html previleges.
- Proprietary commercial software ArcGIS is adopting newer tools to continue business in the market.
- GIS needs to keep pace with NEOGEOGRAPHY (use of geographical techniques and tools for personal and community activities or by a non-expert group of users).

I just received word from Apple that :
a) Apple has given PhoneGap a technical analysis , and PhoneGap does not violate the Terms & Conditions of the App Store.
b) Apple will review PhoneGap applications based on their own merits and not on their use of PhoneGap.
What this means:
There was still some apprehension within the community as to whether or not using PhoneGap would lead to a possible rejection from the iPhone App Store, we definitely have a green light to PhoneGap. This means we can all get back to doing what we love best, building fast, easy mobile apps with JavaScript+HTML+CSS while still taking advantage of the core features in the iPhone, Android, Symbian-WRT and Blackberry devices.
Happy coding!

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury. It is the concept that our brains have the ability to change, or create new neural connecitons throughout their lifetime. The stimulus for this can be both positive or negative, meaning that positive stimulus can create sucessful learning pathways, and negative stimulus can wire the brain to idea's such as paranoia.
A key concept in this is that Intelligence is not predetermined, so that anyone can learn anything. With the right training, confidence and determination, you can basically do anything you put your mind to.
The possibility that we are able to achieve anything we put our minds to has always amazed me. It has been a key driver in some of the biggest descisions I have made in my life. After having 2 children by the age of 21, I returned to University studying a BE Biochemical and passed the first year. I initially wanted to quit after the first chemistry lecture - but while waiting in the long line I noticed everyone in front of me quitting chemistry for the same reason as me. I decided to go back and try again, and tapped into the extra help classes. A tutor in these classes started to explain the concepts to me in a language I understood.
Developmental Psychopathology author Judy Willis states "Whenever new material is presented in such a way that students see relationships, they generate greater brain cell activity (forming new neural connections) and achieve more successful long-term memory storage and retrieval.”. My experience is that once I could see the information as concepts I already knew, it helped me to both understand and remember them. I realised that if I could remember the lyrics of a song, I could remember elements of the periodic table and many elements of higher learning.
Because Neuroplasticity deals with the biological processes in the brain, it is sensible to say that physical health has benefits for learning. Providing your body with fundamental vitamins and minerals and sleep is important.
It is well known that stress can affect peoples ability to make good descisions, so finding ways to deal with stress is a good way to increase neuroplasticity. An interesting concept is the Amygdala Hyjack or the fight or flight mechanism.
The Amygdala Hijack - Fight or Flight
You can increase Neuroplasticity by challenging ourselves to learn new things - weather its physically by training for a marathon or mentally by understanding how engines work. The act of starting on a path to learning increases our ability to do so.
Happiness is important - this is one of my favourite TED talks about the power of what we think
The Happiness Advantage - Sean Anchor
Growth Mindset is the concept that talents and abilities can be developed.
In this exploration, did anything surprise you? Change for you? How will you integrate growth mindset into your learning journey? Link to a resource that you found particularly useful or engaging. Blend with your learning plan and strategies Reflect and discuss how these understandings may shape or influence your learning plan and strategy.


What is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets is a style sheet language used to handle the look, feel, and presentation of web pages. CSS helps you control the style of fonts, the color or image of the background web page, the columns are laid out, layout designs, and many other effects.
CSS is combined with HTML to provide you with a poweful control over the presentation of your web page. It doesn't take a lot to learn the basics of CSS, but it will get difficult of you want to go deeper.
Advantages of CSS
- CSS saves time - You can import the same style sheet in multiple HTML documents. This will help save development time in the future.
- Pages load faster - You can define a CSS rule to apply to all the occurrences of a tag. The web page downloads faster since there is less code written.
- Easy maintenance - The same style sheet is applied to multiple HTML documents. Therefore, when a style rule is modified in this style sheet, this global modification is propagated to all HTML documents.
- Multiple Device Compatibility - With CSS layout style rules, you can align your web page content based on different device screen sizes (Laptop, Tablet, Mobile, etc.). This powerful technique allows your web page to be responsive.
