Rules occupy a hazy area between data and procedure. Like data, each rule in a rule-base is independent, and can be linked to other rules dynamically based on common values. Like procedures, each rule has multiple sub-statements specifying conditions and/or actions related to the execution or firing of the rule.
Looking at it another way, both databases and procedures can be thought of as degenerate cases of rule-bases. A database is a collection of rules that have no action statements and only one set of conditions. A procedure is one big rule with many statements. Figure 1 illustrates the relationship between data, procedure and rules.
Figure 1--The relationship between data, procedures and rules
Because most programming tools are designed for either data or procedures, when confronted with a specification written as a collection of rules, the developer faces a tricky problem. The rules cannot be expressed in data, and coding them procedurally leads to spaghetti-like code for even the best of programmers. Further the original rules get lost in the code, become difficult to debug, and almost impossible to update when necessary.
Ironically, this difficult part of an application is often its heart, and, to make matters worse, the piece most likely to change.
Consider a billing application for a phone company. Most of the application is cleanly coded using data for calls and customers, and procedures for processing the data. But pricing the call is the tricky part, based on a collection of rules derived from marketing concerns, local regulations, various sub-carriers, and special arrangements with large customers, all on top of the expected rules based on time-of-day, physical distance of call, length of call, and whether it was a credit card, collect or directly billed call.
All you need to do to understand the importance of phone call pricing is listen to the large phone company’s ads. Each claims to have better pricing rules. The volatility of the rules derives from the competitive environment, evolving technology and changing government regulations.
The phenomena of a difficult rule-based component being the heart and soul of an otherwise straight-forward application occurs over and over. Consider the underwriting rules for insurance companies, the scheduling rules for an airline, the configuration rules for manufacturing, the diagnostic rules in a help desk, the loan approval rules in banking, and the exception handling rules in process control.
So what is a programmer to do? What’s needed is a language that allows you to specify rules declaratively, (like they are described when a system is specified), and the means to integrate them with the procedures and data that comprise the majority of the application. Prolog is such a language.
Prolog is a full, industry-standard programming language, ideally suited to writing rules. Because it is a full language, Prolog can be used for almost any application, but, like any language, it has its strengths and weaknesses. However, Prolog’s strengths are the weaknesses of conventional languages (like C/C++, Basic, Java) and vice versa. Although it can be, and often is, used by itself, Prolog complements traditional languages when used together in the same application.
At its simplest, a Prolog program is just a collection of facts and rules. For example, a technical support application for video monitors might have these rules.
hypothesis(loose_plug) :- symptom(screen, dark), symptom(video_led, off).hypothesis(blank_screen_saver) :- symptom(screen, dark), symptom(video_led, on).
action(push_plug_in) :- hypothesis(loose_plug).
action(move_mouse) :- hypothesis(blank_screen_saver).
The first rule can be read as "hypothesis is loose_plug if symptom screen is dark and symptom video_led is off." An interaction with a user who's screen has gone dark might yield these facts.
symptom(screen, dark). symptom(video_led, on).
Querying these Prolog rules and facts with the query 'action(X)' will yield the result 'action = move_mouse.'
Prolog is not a difficult language to learn, but it includes features that are not commonly found in other languages. These features take some getting used to, but they make it an exceptional language for solving certain classes of difficult problems.
For example, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) college basketball season is very difficult to schedule, due to the fact that college basketball is big business in the United States and each team is vying for a schedule that provides good opportunity for valuable television coverage. Past year's schedules were always compromises, as neither hand methods nor conventional programming methods could generate schedules that met every team's individual constraints as well as the desire for overall fairness.
This is the first year they have a schedule that meets all of the constraints, and it was generated by a Prolog program. Prolog proved to be both a very expressive language for coding the problem, and an efficient language for finding a solution. The following paragraphs highlight the features of Prolog that make it well-suited to this type of application, using the ACC scheduling problem as an example.
First, Prolog is a symbolic language, meaning it is designed to manipulate symbols. For example 4 - 2 is a complex symbol in Prolog made up of three primitive symbols, in this case two integers and an operator. If asked, Prolog can evaluate this particular expression arithmetically, but in general it is just a symbol used exactly as it's written. The scheduling program makes use of this particular pattern to represent games, so 4 - 2 is used to mean team 4 plays team 2 at team 2’s home. Similarly, the pattern team(2, 'Duke') is used to associate the name Duke with team number 2.
Second, Prolog uses logical variables, which, unlike conventional programming variables, take on values based on pattern matching with symbols. Notationally, variables are indicated by an initial upper case letter. For example, in the scheduling program the variable X in the pattern X - 2 can be used to identify all of the teams that play team 2 at team 2’s home. Similarly, team(N, Name) can be used to find team names associated with team numbers.
Third, Prolog has a built-in backtracking search mechanism, so, unlike in conventional languages, execution can go both forward and back. When it goes backward, logical variables become unbound from their previous values, and when execution starts forward again, they can become bound to new values. For example, the pattern X - Y can be used to pick games from a list of games, where the list of games looks like [1 - 2, 1 - 3, ... 2 - 1, 2 - 3, ...]. If the game causes a constraint violation, backtracking will automatically lead to new values of X and Y as another possible game is selected.
Fourth, Prolog uses recursion. Many languages support recursion, but in Prolog recursion plays an important role for many applications. It is used extensively in the scheduling program, from the highest level loop which recursively selects games from the possible game list, building an output schedule as it goes, to the lowest level predicates that walk various intermediate lists looking for games and patterns as they ensure the constraints of the problem are met.
For example, this rule recursively walks a list of a team's games, looking to see if there are three away games in a row, which is a constraint violation. It says "away_triple is true if there are three consecutive away games in a team's schedule."
away_triple([a-_, a-_, a-_|Z]) :- !. away_triple([_|Z]) :- away_triple(Z).
Fifth, Prolog is implemented using the Warren Abstract Machine (WAM). A naive implementation of Prolog can be tedious, as the features mentioned above do not naturally map to the underlying architecture of today's computers. (By contrast, the flow of control and variable representation of conventional programming languages map very cleanly to basic computer architecture, which is why they are designed the way they are.) David Warren designed an abstract computer with specialized heaps and stacks and its own assembly language that is highly optimized for executing compiled Prolog programs. It is used in one form or another by most serious Prolog implementations.
While the first four features make Prolog an exceptional language for expressing the solution to problems such as the basketball scheduling problem, it is the fifth feature that makes it a practical language for implementing the solution.
Amzi! Prolog is a powerful implementation of the Prolog language. Its integrated development environment (IDE) includes an editor, interpreter (listener) and debugger for developing Prolog modules, and a compiler, projects and linker for deploying them.
But the real potential of Amzi! is realized in the Logic Server. This is the piece that makes it easy to integrate Prolog rule-based components with conventional programming languages, databases and other development tools and libraries, such as GUI or networking tools.
Figure 2--The Amzi! Architecture
The Logic Server encapsulates the Amzi! Prolog engine in a shared library (.so or .dll), with its own well-behaved memory management, and includes a full application program interface (LSAPI) that makes it readily accessible to any other language, both for call-in and call-out.
While the Logic Server API can be called directly by any system that can call a shared library, covering functions are provided for popular languages such as C++, Java, Delphi and Visual Basic. The C++ and Java wrappers encapsulates the LSAPI in a class, the Delphi wrapper makes it a component, and the Visual Basic wrapper provides simple functions that automatically deal with error recovery and the conversion of strings.
The call-out facilities allow anyone to connect Prolog to anything, but the product includes libraries of pre-built functions, such as a connection to ODBC databases for any application, and a connection to Delphi graphics functions for Delphi users.
Amzi! is an extremely portable tool, with compatible command-line versions running under Windows, Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. The core implementation is in C++ and the system ports easily to any platform with a C++ compiler.
In any environment, Amzi! Prolog + Logic Server provides a clean and elegant solution for the modules that are difficult to implement with conventional tools, and yet, a solution that integrates easily and naturally with these tools.
Indra Systems is building a quality control system for Sweden’s largest cheese maker using Amzi! Prolog and Delphi. This system monitors output sensors from the manufacturing equipment. When a change in quality is detected, the operator is alerted and a rule-base makes recommendations on how to adjust the manufacturing process.
Hewlett-Packard uses a Prolog rule-base to test and repair their personal computer boards.
A major computer manufacturer is using a sales advisor built by the Learning Edge using Toolbook and Amzi!. The advisor asks questions about the prospects site and then applies a rule-base of about 175 rules to recommend products that would be most suitable for that customer.
Pig farmers in the U.S., Europe and Australia use Prolog to adjust diet, housing and other factors to improve herd profitability. Boeing uses Prolog to advises its engineers, manufacturing and field personnel how to properly assemble electric connectors that require special tools.
York University is implementing enrollment rules using Visual Basic and Amzi! The department heads use the VB graphical user interface to conceptualize and test the rules for their department. Then, the rules are “black-boxed” and run on a server that applies them to the individual students. The Atlantic Coast Conference uses an Amzi! Prolog rule-base to schedule their basketball games for the season.
Prolog is used in the Netherlands to schedule tennis matches, do seeding, resolve rain delays, etc. Rotisserie/Fantasy Basketball uses Prolog to compute weekly standings and predict performance.
Xircom uses C/C++ and Amzi! for installing their network and modem cards. The installation program examines the resources available and configuration of the laptop computer. An Amzi! rule- base is used to determine which configurations will work best for the new card. Microsoft uses a Prolog component in their NT network installation program to configure the network.
Amzi! uses a Prolog component alongside its Access database to parse and input scanned-in sales leads from a variety of magazines.
Amzi!, Hewlett-Packard, Boeing and many others use Prolog to build their own custom rule languages.

The Mexican * * * out of * * * * Starring: Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, James Gandolfini, David Krumholtz, Luis Felipe Tovar. Directed by: Gore Verbinski Running Time: 123 minutes Rated R: violence and strong language.
When I first heard of the pairing of mega-stars Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, I thought wow...that really is a terrible decision. Then the trailer came on, and I was shocked, the film actually looked good! So now that I've watched it what can I say? Great entertainment, memorable characters, very funny, main flaw: 20 minutes overlong.
Jerry Walbach (Brad Pitt) has a problem, he is told to go to Mexico to get a prized antique gun known as The Mexican if he wants to live, for a dirty crimelord he once worked for. His beautiful if sometimes bitchy girlfriend Samantha Barzel (Julia Roberts) has just broken up with him, and is on her way to Vegas. Jerry however doesn't have it we good, in Mexico he finds the kid who has The Mexican gun, but once the kid is shot accidentally in the head Jerry is a target, with many many people knowing what he has. Meanwhile in Las Vegas Samantha isn't having the best time as well, she's slightly depressed and after she relieves herself in the bathroom she is greeted by a bad guy who is then greeted by another man. After this man shoots him several times, he takes Samantha and drives off with her in her car.
 He wants to know where Jerry is, and where that gun is as well. Back in Mexico, Jerry's car is stolen as well as the gun that was inside the glove box, not having the best of luck he calls up his friend (J.K. Simmons) to come down and give him a hand. As Jerry and Samantha are both having their problems, we get to see how they resolve them, and in the end who really gets The Mexican.
Gore Verbinski director of the the 1997 hit "Mouse Hunt" which was a somewhat clever and funny film, he has a lot of talent running around this film. Brad Pitt (whose best performance to me is still 1999's "Fight Club) is set in goofy mode, and is very funny and engaging. Along with him is the always great Julia Roberts who looks different with her short, shagged hair make a great pair. The best pairing in the film however is Julia and Tony Soprano himself James Gandolfini.  What seems as a movie that is supposed to be a pairing of Julia and James, the movie takes a quick 180 and throughout an hour and a half, they aren't even on screen together!
The cleverly written script by J.H. Wyman is foul-mouthed, fast and furious. What surprised me was the comedy in the film, I knew it'd be funny but where were times when I was laughing pretty hard! I had just one major problem with "The Mexican" and that is the overlong 2 hour 3 minute running time, about 110 minutes into the film, I got squirmy in my chair.
So far in 2001, its been a good year and "The Mexican" I can add to that. It's a fun, rollicking, clever ride that is great from start to finish. For all those fans of Julia and Brad I definitely recommend this, and hope they do more movies together.

DXM |
(powder / crystals) |
I've been experimenting with certain drugs and happened to come across the DXM FAQ, and after weighing out the pluses and negatives i decided to try it. I knew someone in town that had gel caps filled with DXM, but he wasnt sure how much many mg was in each. Since I knew he had already taken one with not too much trouble, I wasnt too worried about it, although I would suggest seeking out a safer alternative.
At around 7:00 PM, my friend (we'll call him B) and I took the pill with some water. My expectations were high from what I heard and read, but B didn't know exactly what to expect. We had a designated driver, so we decided to cruise around and give it time to kick in. About an hour after taking the pill we smoked about a gram of weed, and in that 10 minute span I went from complete sobriety to complete annialation. I'm positive it was the weed that kicked it in a lot faster than the normal onset would have been.
We decided to go over to a friends house for a bonfire at about 10 PM, and of course it was pitch dark outside by this time. Well my trip down to the bonfire wasn't too difficult, but as soon as I sat there for a minute I realized I must be in some alternate universe. I could barely understand anyone outside of my own little reality, and trying to talk was useless. It just came out as mumbling nonsense.
I sat at the fire for what seemed like an eternity, and finally everyone decided to leave for the night. The only problem was it was a long, dark walk to the car and I couldn't function much less find my way up this now seemingly endless maze. With the flashlight at my feet, a friend that had only been smoking bud helped me to the car. By this time it was Midnight, and I was slowly re-entering the Earths atmosphere. B had what sounds to me like an identical experience, and even though we didnt say two words to each other after it started I think just knowing that one another was feeling the same way was comforting. I never felt sick at any point, even when I was experiencing delirium and traveling through oblivion.
Now in reflection on the experience, I wouldnt have done anything different. I liked the buzz but found that its more of an inner journey than social drug. Looking forward to my next trip with DXM, i'll be sure of the dosage i'm taking and maybe smoke a little more weed. This is an excellent buzz for certain types of people and for others i've heard it described as a 'night from hell'. All I know is I have a new found respect for DXM and whatever you decide to do, APPROACH WITH CAUTION!! This is by no means a kiddie drug.

The Globe’s stars and dogs for the week
by John HeinzlA humorous look at the companies that caught our eye, for better or worse, this week
Rogers Sugar (DOG)
How sweet it isn’t. Shares of Rogers Sugar got caned after the company posted a 2-per-cent drop in revenue and swung to a $40-million loss for the fourth quarter, as it took a $50-million goodwill impairment charge in its maple syrup business to reflect “recent changes in the competitive environment and lower growth expectations.” With Rogers restructuring its maple-syrup production operations and the stock down about 20 per cent over the past six months, investors have a sour taste in their mouths.
Pinduoduo (DOG)
=
Business quiz! Shares of Pinduoduo, one of China’s largest e-commerce companies, plunged after: a) the U.S. government, in an escalation of its trade war, took out the company’s servers with a drone strike; b) customers filed a class-action lawsuit, alleging that the “premium” two-ply toilet paper they ordered "was constantly coming apart and, in at least one case, contained dangerous wood chips”; c) Pinduoduo reported a third-quarter loss that was more than twice as big as expected as sharply higher sales and marketing expenses more than offset an increase in revenue. Answer: c.
Kohl’s (DOG)
You might say investors just got raked over the Kohl’s. Shares of the U.S. department store chain tanked after third-quarter sales at stores open for at least a year rose an anemic 0.4 per cent, signalling that efforts to introduce new brands and bring in more customers aren’t working. Adding to the company’s woes, Kohl’s had to slash prices to move merchandise during the quarter, causing earnings to miss estimates and prompting the retailer to cut its profit outlook for a second time this year. Looks like shareholders are getting a lump of Kohl for Christmas.
Target (STAR)
Target may have bungled its foray into Canada a few years ago, but the retailer is crushing it south of the border. Heading into the crucial holiday period, the discount chain said third-quarter sales at stores open for at least a year rose 2.8 per cent and online orders soared 31 per cent, as customers purchased merchandise for same-day delivery or to pick up at the store. Even as other retailers are cutting their earnings outlooks, Target’s profit topped estimates and the company hiked its full-year forecast. Take that, Amazon.
Macy’s (DOG)
For Macy’s, the week couldn’t end fast enough. First, the retailer disclosed that hackers had stolen names, credit-card numbers and other data from customers while they shopped on its website. Then the department store chain reported that same-store sales fell 3.5 per cent in the third quarter – worse than the 0.5-per-cent decline analysts had expected – as bad weather and weak tourism hurt customer traffic. With Macy’s shares down by more than half this year and consumers fleeing department stores, investors are selling just to make the pain end.

A Benchmark for Large-Scale Imperfect-Information Game Research
Owning to the unremitting efforts by a few institutes, great progress has recently been made in designing superhuman AIs in No-limit Texas Hold’em (NLTH), the primary testbed for largescale imperfect-information game research.
However, it remains very challenging for new researchers to study this problem since there lacks standard benchmarks for comparing with existing methods, which greatly hinders further developments in this research area.
In this work, we present CasiaHoldem, a benchmark for large-scale imperfectinformation game research using NLTH. CasiaHoldem makes three main contributions to this research direction:

Press release
New £30 million fund for more than 1,800 independent supporters to help parents navigate the new special educational needs process.
More than 1,800 champions will be on hand from this September to help parents navigate the new special educational needs process following a £30 million funding boost, announced today by Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson.
The £30 million will be used to recruit and train a pool of ‘independent supporters’ - champions drawn from independent voluntary, community and private organisations to help the families of children and young people with special educational needs ( SEN ) through the new process following comprehensive reforms to support.
Edward Timpson, Minister for Children and Families, said:
Our new £30 million fund will allow families to access help and support from more than 1,800 fully-trained champions across the country. I know from speaking to many parents how much they value any support in helping them access the services their children need.
Independent supporters will be able to spend one-to-one time with families giving them the independent help and advice they need to progress through the new SEN assessment and education, health and care planning process. This will ensure that every child and young person with SEN can take full advantage of our reforms.
Independent supporters will be available every step of the way for families as they navigate the new system, which will provide much greater integration of vital services and one system for children and young people with SEN from birth to 25.
Where there is disagreement, independent supporters will also make sure councils understand what families want, and help families to challenge decision making so children with SEN receive the support they really need.
The Council for Disabled Children ( CDC ) will ensure that a range of organisations provide this totally independent help, overseeing the recruitment and training of the independent supporters - around 12 per area - in time for the implementation of our comprehensive SEN reforms.
Christine Lenehan, Council for Disabled Children Director, said:
Council for Disabled Children is pleased to be leading on this piece of work alongside its remit as the department’s strategic reform partner. Independent support will become a valuable resource to help and support parents of children with SEN and young people, parent partnership services and local authorities, as we all move towards implementing the reforms and local offer. We look forward to working with a wide range of private, voluntary a community sector partners as we develop proposals further.
The Children and Families Bill, which is currently progressing through Parliament, will make significant improvements to the support available for children with SEN , including:

This interface will help you in preparing the SPARC metadata files (currently submission and dataset_description files) for your dataset.
Enter your Airtable API key below and specify a key name to connect your Airtable account with SODA:
SODA make use of the SPARC Airtable sheet to automatically get award numbers and contributors information such that you don't have to enter them manually in your metadata file. To enable this, you have to connect your Airtable account with SODA (only necessary once).
To achieve that, create an Airtable account and request access to the<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Then, enter your Airtable API key in the dedicated SODA interface. Checkout the Airtable Help page to learn how to obtain or re-generate your API key.
Please keep your group information up to date in that sheet, especially contributors' name, email, affiliation, and ORCID to help SODA help you!
Key name:
Generate a name for your Airtable API Key. Your API Key will be stored under this key name.
API Key:
To obtain or re-generate your API key to connect to SODA during your first use, check out the dedicated Airtable Help page
Airtable connection status:
If SODA fails to connect to your Airtable account, make sure that you have entered a valid API key in the "Connect to Airtable" feature or that you are connected to the internet.
Search for award(s):
Select your award(s) and click on "Add" to save it/them in SODA. You will only have to do this once. You can your award(s) and provide additional information in the "View you SPARC award(s)" tab.
Select award:
Data Deliverables document:
The milestones and associated datasets as agreed between awardees and SPARC are summarized in a document called Data Deliverables document (usually kept by the PI of the SPARC award or the award manager).
Import that document in SODA to automatically extract milestones and associated information which will be used to help you prepare the submission metadata file in the next section.
Click here to download a template of the Data Deliverables document to see the expected format. Most importantly, at least one table with these exact three hearders is expected: "Related milestone, aim, or task", "Description of data", "Expected date of completion".

ngRights allows you to easily conditionnaly show and hide DOM elements according to the current logged in user.
In this scenario, you host a website that hosts pages for its users. Every page belongs to a user through its ownerId attribute. Every page contains posts, which are usually written by the page owner. Sometimes however, a post may be written by someone else.
On this website, only users that own posts can delete them. This means that a page owner cannot delete a post that does not belong to him, even if he's the page owner.

This project demonstrated my knowledge in website styling ,branching and merging
This project helped in learning how to use cascading to style website elements


If you get a message like "The procedure entry point __lc_collate couldn't be located in MSVCRT.DLL" when you run HexEdit it means that the DLL file that is installed on your machine is an earlier version than HexEdit requires. Under Windows 95/98/ME you may see a message like "A device attached to the system is not functioning ... The BCGCB59.DLL file is linked to missing export MFC42.DLL:6880".
HexEdit requires three Microsoft DLLs with the following (or later) dates:
MSVCP60.DLL 17 Jun 1998
MSVCRT.DLL 23 Apr 1999
MFC42.DLL 27 Apr 1999
These files are usually installed in the Windows system directory. This is typically (ie by default) C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 under NT/2000, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 under XP, or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM under Windows 95/98/ME.
HexEdit installs MSVCP60.DLL (as long as you left the "Shared DLLs" option ticked in the HexEdit setup) so this is not normally a problem. If you do have a problem after installing HexEdit (under NT/2000/XP) and you do not have rights to modify the Windows system directory you may need to reinstall while logged in as administrator or have your system administrator install the file.
MSVCRT.DLL and MFC42.DLL are not distributed with HexEdit since almost everyone has them. If you have old versions of one or both of them you can obtain them here. Again, if you do not have administrator rights (under NT/2000/XP) you may need to get your system administrator to install them.


/Protein2Pathway
Protein2Pathway workflow can be used to analyze and visualize protein (and thus gene) level data in terms of pathway enrichment analysis, pathway membership, upstream/downstream kinase network, and concordance with LINCS signatures. Enter genes or for example try the list of LINCS P100 associated genes . Gene names can be separated by comma, semi-colon or new line.{{ctrl.numberOfAllValidGenes}} out of {{ctrl.numberOfAllInputGenes}} input genes are common with Homo Sapiens.
Error in gene names, please modify the gene names and try again! non conforming genes with Homo Sapiens genes: {{nonValid}},

Age Assistant
A utility to help you keep track of dates and ages
Do you ever have trouble coming up with a loved one's age? Instead of doing arithmetic in your head using a birthday or an anniversary date, why not let your phone handle it? Age Assistant is a simple app I made so I don't have to look embarrassed when the doctor asks me how old my parents are.
Features
Search and sort age profiles based on name, age, or month. Use the simple tagging system to keep track of important groups. Set up reminders for each age profile, so you remember to celebrate or make preparations. Use Age Assistant for any kind of date, including pet birthdays, anniversaries, and future dates!
This was just a fun, personal project for me, so there are no ads or other costs. Enjoy!
Screenshots
Get the app
Download from the iTunes App Store.
About me
I thought up this idea for an app because I could not easily calculate my parents' ages during a doctor visit. I am currently a grad student at UCLA studying Computer Science.
This is also the first app I've developed on my own. Any comments or feedback is appreciated. You can reach me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you to Jason La for letting me use his one of his websites as a template.

HOPE FLOATS A film review by Ram Samudrala
/Hope Floats/ has some interesting scenes, but is a boring groan-inducing movie for the most part. The opening scene, perhaps the best one in the movie, starts off as a talk show audience delight in the misery of Birdie Pruitt (Sandra Bullock) who has just learned that her husband has been cheating with her best friend.
Devastated, Birdie leaves the fast Chicago life and heads back to Smithville Texas, her home town, with her young daughter Bernice (Mae Whitman). Birdie, once elected Queen of Corn three years in a row (an unparalleled achievement in the history of Smithville), finds single life difficult to adjust to, particularly when the people she knew in high school feel free to rub salt in her wounds.
The one exception who appears to treat Birdie normally is Justin Matisse (Harry Conick, Jr.) who had a crush on her as teen. If the story hasn't yet started sounding familiar to you, it should: the relationship between Birdie and Justin ploddingly progresses to its obvious end, without any real resolution of issues between Birdie and her former husband, her daughter, and her high school acquaintances.
The best part in /Hope Floats/ is the presence of young Travis (Cameron Finley) who mimics animals which makes for some humour.

I recently started experimenting with some of the legally obtained natural herbs available online. There were many conflicting reports that I read on the substance yohimbe. I chose to order a liquid extract. The extract has a bitter taste, but is not difficult to ingest. My first three experiences with this substance have all been very positive. I will briefly describe each experience.
My first experience: I tried the extract on it's own. The bottle recommends 30-40 drops of the substance. This turned out to be roughly two dropper-fulls. About 15-20 minutes after ingesting the extract, I began to notice effects. I felt very stimulated. My energy was increased. It felt similar to a large dose of caffiene or nicotine, without the harsh side effects. This lasted for approximately an hour or so.
My second experience: I used about 4 dropper-fulls of extract on it's own. I felt really wired, but not in an unpleasant way. I can't really say that I felt 'horny' (since this substance is rumored to be an aphrodisiac), but I was really enjoying the effect. A friend and I went to an amusement park. I purchased a small bottle of Jagermeister and drank nearly half of it before entering the park. The alcohol seemed to have no effect! It was very strange, but the yohimbe and the alcohol seemed to 'cancel each other out'...but I still felt great. The effects lasted a couple of hours.
My third experience: I decided to combine yohimbe with a light marijuana buzz...wow! Usually, marijuana can make me anything from lethargic to hyper, depending on the strain and the situation. With about 4 dropper-fulls of yohimbe, I always felt 'on top' of the buzz rather than consumed by it. I had sex on this occasion and it was awesome! I didn't feel 'hornier' than usual, but once stimulation began it was a great time. I think this stuff would help people who have a hard time 'getting it up'. For me, it greatly enhanced my control and stamina...I was able to last for nearly an hour! It took a longer time to come down from this buzz, maybe a few hours.
In conclusion, Yohimbe is one of the best legal substances that I have experimented with. I would not consider it a 'psychedelic' type of drug, as its effects are that of a stimulant. I enjoy the effects, and have had no negative side effects so far. It seems very non-addictive (it's been nearly two weeks since I have last used it). I would have to recommend this substance...just be sure you are in good health, since it definitely increases the heart rate.

There is just one class needed: java.util.logging.Logger
.
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger("org.foo.Sample");
Optionally a user might aquire a Logger using the java.util.logging.LogManager
, which
has the same behaviour as Logger.getLogger(String name):
private static final Logger LOG = LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger("org.foo.Sample");
There are two classes needed: org.apache.commons.logging.Log
and org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
.
private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog("org.foo.Sample");
There are two classes needed: org.slf4j.Logger
and org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
.
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger("org.foo.Sample");
The two classes org.x4juli.X4JuliLogger
and org.x4juli.X4JuliLogManager
do not bother user code. If x4juli is configured properly, and also the correct properties for JCL are set,
this classes are behind the interfaces and actually do the logging.
Usually there is no need for any org.x4juli.* import in your code.
This class extends java.util.logging.Logger
and implements org.apache.commons.logging.Log
,
and org.slf4j.Logger
. It overrides all log methods from java.util.logging.Logger
to
have correct location information, without performance lost. (Obtaining location information is still a costly
operation, look at the org.x4juli.formatter.PatternFormatter
API Docs for details.)
This class extends java.util.logging.LogManager
. It is initialized through a static constructor
in java.util.logging.LogManager
when the property -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.x4juli.X4JuliLogManager
is present.


8.0 Overrun
Overrun is a form of combat that occurs during the various Movement Segments. Only use these procedures against hexes with enemy combat units—refer to 9.14 when moving into hexes containing only non-combat units, ships, and/or planes.
Procedure:
Move the attacking stack adjacent to the target hex and declare the overrun. Overruns are made from the adjacent hex; the attackers do not actually enter the defender’s hex unless the defender vacates it.
Resolve overruns like any other combat (follow the sequence in 9.2). Note the increased chance for Surprise (9.8) in overruns. If the attacker does not retreat and has sufficient MP remaining after an overrun (regardless of whether the defender retreats or is destroyed), he can continue to move and can make further overruns against the same or other targets. If the defender retreats or is destroyed, all of the attacking units must enter the hex (at no additional movement cost).
8.1 Overrun Restrictions
Only Attack-Capable units that started the phase stacked together can overrun. They must be in Combat, Move, or Exploitation Mode. Units can overrun as many times as their MA allows. There is no limit on the number of times a given defender can be overrun during a single Movement Segment. Resolve each overrun separately.
8.1a Moving units spend 3 MP for each overrun. If the combat result allows the attacker to occupy the defender’s hex, there is no additional MP cost to do so. Units with fewer than 3 MP remaining cannot overrun.
Example: A unit does two overrun attacks against a hex that would cost 1 MP to enter. It is successful the second time, and advances into the defender’s hex with 6 MP expended.
8.1b Overruns are only allowed if the MP cost to enter the hex (the combined hex, hexside, and Trainbusting costs) would be 3 MP or less. A terrain that lists a cost of “All” cannot be overrun.
8.1c Units cannot use features such as roads or bridges to bring the hex’s MP cost down, to negate prohibited terrain, or to meet the restriction of 6.1d.
8.1d Each overrun is made against a single adjacent enemy hex. A given hex can be overrun several times in a single phase. The same moving stack can make several overruns (against the same or different hexes).
8.1e No unit, regardless of the combat result, ever gains an Exploitation marker (9.13b) when making an overrun.
8.1f Should the attacking units choose to take one or more of their options as retreats from an overrun, they end their movement for the phase. The attackers can continue movement if they do not retreat.
8.1g Only units conducting the overrun can move in an overrunning stack.
8.1h Other friendly units can be in the hex from which an overrun is made. These units affect stacking limits in that hex (4.8a), but are not involved in the overrun. The overrun’s combat result has no effect on these units whatsoever (regardless of what it is).

«Was never fit for vice-mayor’s post.» Baraņņiks loses post in Riga City Council
by LETAWith votes from opposition deputies, Riga City Council’s Vice-Chairman Vadims Baraņņiks was removed from his post on Tuesday, 19 November. He was also removed from his post in Riga Freeport board.
Members of Harmony and Honour to Serve Riga, as well as all opposition members, voted in favour of Baraņņiks’ dismissal. A total of 40 votes were cast in favour of his dismissal.
Six independent deputies abstained in the vote.
According to representatives of the opposition, they supported Baraņņiks’ dismissal because «he was not fit for the post of vice-mayor».
At the same time, the opposition’s plan is organizing three consecutive extraordinary meetings without taking part in them thereby creating a precedent for dismissal of the city council.
Legally a city council may be dismissed if no quorum is secured in three consecutive meetings. If deputies start making decisions about topics on the agenda and it is not possible to make any because of no quorum, the meeting is still considered to have happened. Quorum in Riga City Council is 31 deputies.
Shortly after Baraņņiks’ dismissal as vice-mayor, he was also dismissed from his post in Riga Freeport board.
Baraņņiks’ dismissal and termination of cooperation with Independent Deputies Faction was one of the conditions set by Harmony to Honour to Service Riga for the party’s continued work in the coalition.

According to Harmony’s representative, it is not possible to cooperate with the Independent Deputies Faction. Honour to Serve Riga shares this belief. The independent deputies, meanwhile, say they are just «inconvenient» for the coalition.
With termination of cooperation with the Independent Deputies Faction, the coalition is left with 28 deputies.

Exercise 5: Exploring the data
Structure of an R-object
The first command you need to learn is str
function in order to explore any object in R. Lets apply this to our bodydata
,
str(bodydata)
'data.frame': 407 obs. of 4 variables:
$ Weight : num 65.6 80.7 72.6 78.8 74.8 86.4 78.4 62 81.6 76.6 ...
$ Height : num 174 194 186 187 182 ...
$ Age : num 21 28 23 22 21 26 27 23 21 23 ...
$ Circumference: num 71.5 83.2 77.8 80 82.5 82 76.8 68.5 77.5 81.9 ...
This output shows us that bodydata
is a data.frame
with 407 rows and 4 numeric variables - Weight, Height, Age, Circumference.
Accessing elements from R-objects
Different data structure have different way of accessing elements from them.
Extracting elements from vector
, matrix
and array
For vector, matrix and arraywe can use [
for accessing their elements. Lets create a vector, a matrix and an array as follows,
a_vector <- c("one", "two", "three", "four", "five")
a_matrix <- matrix(1:24, nrow = 3, ncol = 8)
an_array <- array(1:24, dim = c(2, 3, 4))
- Extracting element at position 3 to 5 in
a_vector
a_vector[3:5]
with givethree, four, five
, the elements at postion index 3, 4, and 5. In R, position index starts from 1.- Extracting element in rows 2, 3 and columns 2, 4, 6, 8 from
a_matrix
- This is a two dimensional structure, we give row-index and column-index inside
[
operator separated by comma as,
a_matrix[c(2, 3), c(2, 4, 6, 8)]
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 5 11 17 23
[2,] 6 12 18 24
We can also write this as,
a_matrix[2:3, seq(from = 2, to = 8, by = 2)]
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 5 11 17 23
[2,] 6 12 18 24
Here seq(from = 2, to = 8, by = 2)
create sequence even integer from 2 to 8 which is used as column index for extracting elements from a_matrix
.
Extracting first element of an_array
:
Here an_array
is an array structure of dimension three. So, we have to use three index vector inside [
operator in order to extract element from it. For instance an_array[1, 1, 1]
gives 1 as its first element of the array.
In all these structures we can only supply index of one or more dimension. For example,
a_matrix[1:2,]
where we have only mentioned the row index, will give elements in first and second row from all columns. i.e.
a_matrix[1:2, ]
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8]
[1,] 1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22
[2,] 2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
Extracting elements from data.frame
and list
Lets create a data.frame
and a list
as,
a_dataframe <- data.frame(
fertilizer = c("Low", "Low", "High", "High"),
yield = c(12.5, 13.1, 15.3, 16.2)
)
a_list <- list(
facebook = data.frame(
name = c("Gareth", "Raju", "Marek", "Franchisco"),
has_profile = c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, TRUE)
),
twitter = c("@gareth", "@raju", "@marek", "franchisco")
)
- Extracting third and fourth row of
fertilizer
froma_dataframe
- Same as extracting elements as matrix as discussed above we can use row and column index as
a_dataframe[3:4, 1]
. We have used1
in place of column index sincefertilizer
is in first column. We can also use name instead asa_dataframe[3:4, "fertilizer"]
.
a_dataframe[3:4, "fertilizer"]
[1] High High
Levels: High Low
- Extracting first element of
a_list
- We can use
[[
for extracting elements froma_list
. For examplea_list[[1]]
will give the first element of the list. Here in our list we have two elements with namesfacebook
andtwitter
. So, we can also use their names asa_list[["facebook"]]
which is not possible if they do not have any name.
a_list[["facebook"]]
name has_profile
1 Gareth TRUE
2 Raju TRUE
3 Marek FALSE
4 Franchisco TRUE
We can also use $
operator to extract elements from named list and a data frame. For example, bodydata$Weight
extracts Weight
variable from bodydata
dataset.
View Data in RStudio
Newer version of RStudio support viewing data in different structures. To view bodydata
we have imported in Exercise 2: Importing data in R, we can use View(bodydata)
. If you have not imported the, you need to follow the exercise and import the data first. We can also click the data in “Environment” tab to view it.
Summary of data
We can compute basic descriptive summary statistics using summary
function as,
summary(bodydata)
Weight Height Age Circumference
Min. : 42.0 Min. :150 Min. :18.0 Min. : 57.9
1st Qu.: 58.5 1st Qu.:164 1st Qu.:23.0 1st Qu.: 68.0
Median : 68.6 Median :171 Median :27.0 Median : 75.6
Mean : 69.2 Mean :171 Mean :29.9 Mean : 76.9
3rd Qu.: 78.8 3rd Qu.:178 3rd Qu.:35.0 3rd Qu.: 84.3
Max. :108.6 Max. :198 Max. :67.0 Max. :113.2
Dimension of data
The number of elements in a data structure like vector and list we can use length
function. For example: if we extract Weight
variable from bodydata
we will get a numeric vector. The length of this vector is,
length(bodydata$Weight)
A multi-dimensional data structure like matrix, array and data frame has dimension. We can use dim
function to find the dimension.
dim(bodydata)
[1] 407 4
Here, the first and second item refers to the number of rows and number of columns of bodydata. Similarly, we can use nrow(bodydata)
and ncol(bodydata)
to obtain these number individually.
Lets Practice
- Take a look at the top 5 rows of
bodydata
- Take a look at the top 5 rows of
Height
andCircumference
variables ofbodydata
- Apply
summary
function onAge
variable ofbodydata

0-1 Knapsack Problem
By Krishna Priya R
Steps:
- Draw a table say ‘T’ with (n+1) number of rows and (w+1) number of columns.
- Fill all the boxes of 0th row and 0th column with zeroes
- Start filling the table row wise top to bottom from left to right.
- Use the following formula-
T (i , j) = max { T ( i-1 , j ) , valuei + T( i-1 , j – weighti ) }
Here, T(i , j) = maximum value of the selected items if we can take items 1 to i and have weight restrictions of j.
- This step leads to completely filling the table.
- Then, value of the last box represents the maximum possible value that can be put into the knapsack.
- To identify the items that must be put into the knapsack to obtain that maximum profit,
- Consider the last column of the table.
- Start scanning the entries from bottom to top.
- On encountering an entry whose value is not same as the value stored in the entry immediately above it, mark the row label of that entry.
- After all the entries are scanned, the marked labels represent the items that must be put into the knapsack.

James adds a little luxury to his fish pie by including lobster, mussels and prawns.
For the fish pie, preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
Prick the potatoes all over with a fork, then rub with a little oil. Sprinkle a roasting tray with the rock salt and place the potatoes on top. Bake for 1-1½ hours, or until tender.
Clean the mussels in running water. Discard any open mussels that do not close when given a sharp tap. Put a large saucepan over a high heat. Add the mussels and white wine, cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels have opened. Strain and discard any mussels that have not opened (keep the cooking liquor). Pick the mussels from their shells.
Meanwhile, half-fill a large frying pan with water and bring to a simmer. Add the onion, black peppercorns, bay leaves and all the fish. Poach for 3-4 minutes, then lift the fish from the pan using a slotted spoon and set aside. Strain the fish stock through a sieve suspended over a large bowl. Reserve the strained stock and discard the onion, bay leaves and peppercorns.
Melt 100g/3½oz of the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste, then cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in 50ml/2fl oz of the milk until it is fully incorporated into the sauce. Continue to add 350ml/12fl oz of the remaining milk little by little, whisking after each addition, until the sauce is smooth and thick. Add 500ml/18fl oz of the fish stock and the cooking liquor from the mussels, stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. (Any remaining fish stock can be chilled and frozen for use in another dish.)
Stir in the lemon zest, juice and parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat. Stir the prawns and lobster meat into the sauce, then flake in the poached fish, keeping it in fairly large pieces. Transfer the pie filling to a large ovenproof dish.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
Slice the potatoes in half, scoop out the flesh and pass it through a potato ricer into a pan set over a medium heat. Add 75g/2½oz of the butter and the remaining 75ml/2½fl oz milk to the potatoes and beat over the heat until the mash is smooth, thick and not too soft.
Spoon the mash into a piping bag with a large star-shaped nozzle and pipe the mashed potato all over the fish pie filling. (Alternatively, just spread mashed potato over the filling.) Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
Place the ovenproof dish onto a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese and potatoes are golden-brown and the pie is heated through.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain well and return to the pan, then stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish pie with the peas alongside.

US Congressman Pete Olson Praises India for Revoking Article 370
Washington: US Congressman Pete Olson has praised India for revoking Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, saying the move will bring equality and peace to the region. Speaking in the US House of Representatives, Pete Olson said that Article 370 was a temporary provision, a stop-gap measure, that was forcing the people of Jammu and Kashmir to live under laws different from the rest of India. “The Indian Parliament decided to end it,” he said, adding that it was passed with a landslide majority in both Houses of the Indian Parliament on August 5. He said the revocation of Article 370 that gave special status to J&K “brings equality to all Indians, and this action brings peace to Kashmir.” (IANS)
