Player Ratings As Spirited Ireland Draw With Denmark In Dublin
by Robert RedmondThe Republic of Ireland 1 Denmark 1.
Ireland have failed to qualify directly for Euro 2020 and will need to come through a Nations League play-off next March after failing to beat the old enemy Denmark in Dublin.
Mick McCarthy’s side were aggressive, spirited and committed, and the Danes did not, by any means, set the world alight at the Aviva Stadium, but they could only record a 1-1 draw. Martin Braithwaite opened the scoring before Matt Doherty’s equaliser sparked a grandstand finish to the game. However, unfortunately, Ireland could not find a winner and will now have to go through a play-off in a few months.
Here is how we rated the Ireland players:
Darren Randolph – 6
The Middlesbrough goalkeeper has been Ireland’s most consistent performer for at least two years. Randolph has saved Ireland on several occasions and boosted their chances of qualification by returning from injury for the visit of the Danes. He was rarely tested on Monday night, with the Danes often mirroring Ireland by playing direct.
Matt Doherty – 7
Doherty got his chance at right-back due to Seamus Coleman, Ireland’s captain, being suspended. Earning just his ninth cap, the Wolves wing-back was defensively sound for most of the match, winning his fair share of aerial challenges. In the second half, we saw more of his natural game going forward. He went on one impressive run, taking a couple of Danes out of play before passing to space, and was a calm presence on the ball. A solid display that was almost marred when he switched off for the Danish goal. He redeemed himself with an excellent back-post header to set up a frantic finale to the game.
Shane Duffy – 7
Duffy, who captained Ireland for the first time on Monday night, was the only Irish player to score against the Danes in the team’s five previous matches over the last two years.
The Derry-native opened the scoring in the 5-1 drubbing in November 2017 and rescued a point for McCarthy back in June with a brilliant header in the dying stages of the Euro 2020 qualifier in Copenhagen.
On Monday night, however, Duffy’s main contribution was at the back. In the first half, the Brighton defender made a stunning block to prevent Christian Eriksen’s powerful shot from finding the target and kept both Danish strikers – Andreas Cornelius and Kasper Dolberg – under wraps. He was undoubtedly Ireland’s best performer of the opening period and was, once again, the team’s best chance of finding the net.
Unfortunately, he appeared to switch off for the Denmark goal, but he had kept his team in the game until then.
John Egan – 6
The Sheffield United defender only cemented his international starting spot due to Richard Keogh’s serious injury, but he has arguably improved the backline. Egan has been brilliant for his club in the Premier League this season and was a solid presence on Monday night. Denmark’s attacks were often rudimentary – the team appeared to be primarily looking to pick up second balls and get possession to Eriksen – but Egan coped well with the threat the team posed. Substituted at half-time, after picking up a calf injury during a collision with Cornelius.
Enda Stevens – 7
Another player in excellent club form coming into the game, Stevens was among Ireland’s best players on the night. The Sheffield United left wing-back was tidy in possession and defensively sound, sniffing danger on a few occasions to stifle Danish attacks before they could pose a threat to Darren Randolph. He set up Ireland’s equaliser with a wonderful cross to the back post.
Glenn Whelan – 6
Whelan was given a difficult task on the occasion of his 91st cap for Ireland – keep Christian Eriksen quiet and he largely succeeded. The Hearts midfielder started brightly. In the later stages of the match, Whelan faded and couldn’t get close to his opponents and was slow to react in the buildup to the Danish goal. But e has been a great servant to the Irish team and covered more ground than one could reasonably expect of a player a few months shy of 36.
Jeff Hendrick – 5
The Burnley midfielder had a mixed game. He started well and was full of energy, often acting at the team’s first defender, but offered little in possession and faded as the game went on.
Conor Hourihane – 6
Hourihane was dropped for Ireland’s last competitive match – the 2-0 loss to Switzerland in Geneva last month – but returned to the team on Monday night. The Aston Villa midfielder was on the edge of the game, with the disjointed nature of the match unsuited to his skillset. He also missed the team’s best chance of the first-half, hitting a tame effort on goal after collecting a misplaced pass. However, he was always going to be key for Ireland in the game due to his set-piece deliveries, and he hit some stunning passes just after half-time – one, in particular, that would have resulted in a goal had any of the players in the box touched it. Replaced with 23 minutes to go by Callum Robinson, a stange move given Hourihane had began to find his range with his deliveries.
Alan Browne – 6
The only surprise inclusion in the starting XI, Browne played on the right side of midfield. An athletic player, with an eye for goal, the Preston North End midfielder was up to the task of playing there, but his selection suggested Mick was playing it safe to start with – especially considering Callum Robinson’s goal against New Zealand. Browne came close with a dipping shot in the first half, but was generally on the fringes of the match.
James McClean – 6
The Stoke City winger earned his 72nd cap on Monday night and gave his best Ireland performance for some time. His passing and deliveries were still wayward, but McClean won the ball back several times, often high up the pitch, and kept the Danes occupied by hassling the opposition. He improved as the match went on.
David McGoldrick – 7
After missing the Ireland matches last month, McGoldrick’s return to the team was a massive boost for McCarthy. The Sheffield United forward may not be the most prolific goalscorer, but he knits the team together with his intelligent movement and clever link-up play. He often made something out of what seemed like nothing passes, finding space between the lines and out wide. Not as effective after half-time, as Ireland struggled to create openings.
Substitutes
Ciaran Clark – 6
Defensively sound after coming on at half-time and made one impressive last-ditch tackle.
Callum Robinson – 5
Robinson arguably should have started and showed his quality with a wonderful cross for McGoldrick late in the game as Ireland chased an equaliser.
Sean Maguire – 5
Keen to make an impression but not on the pitch long enough to affect the game.


The report,
‘How well are further education and skills providers implementing the ‘Prevent’ duty?’
, praises general further education colleges and sixth forms for making good progress in implementing the Prevent duty. However, it finds that a worrying number of providers, particularly independent learning providers, small providers and those working in isolation, are struggling to implement the duty.
The government’s
Prevent strategy
places a legal duty on further education providers to have ‘due regard’ to the risk of learners being drawn into terrorism. This includes preventing extremists from seeking to radicalise learners and supporting those learners perceived to be at risk of extremist influences. Ofsted has responsibility for monitoring how well the duty is being implemented.
Last year, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw commissioned inspectors to undertake a survey to establish how well providers are implementing the Prevent duty. The findings of today’s (12 July 2016) report are informed by visits to 37 further education and skills providers, as well as 46 full inspections or monitoring visits carried out between November 2015 and May 2016. Inspectors also spoke to hundreds of learners, managers, teachers and support staff, as well as provider-designated ‘Prevent’ officers, partners and governors.
Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) reported that too many providers see the Prevent duty as little more than a ‘tick-box exercise’ and do not regard it as an important part of their responsibilities towards learners. In some instances, inspectors saw no effort by providers to implement the requirements of the duty, leaving learners at risk.
Nearly half of providers lacked sufficient safeguards to keep learners safe online, with learners in some cases bypassing security settings to access websites selling firearms or promoting terrorist ideology. These included one isolated instance of a learner viewing a terrorist propaganda video in the provider’s learning resource centre.
Inspectors also found evidence that some providers were failing to undertake adequate background checks on external speakers coming onto campuses to speak to learners.
There is also too little effort put into partnership working, with several local authorities failing to support providers, who were unaware of the range of advice and guidance available to them.
Commenting on the findings, Ofsted’s Deputy Director for Further Education and Skills, Paul Joyce, said:
It is reassuring that over half of the providers visited for this survey were found to be making good progress in implementing the Prevent duty, and are ultimately keeping their learners and local communities safe. Leaders in the general further education and sixth form colleges we visited should be commended for the quick progress they have made in implementing this new responsibility.
However, it is concerning that in some colleges and providers the progress made in implementing the duty has been slow. It is worrying that inspectors saw examples of poor practice that I’ve no doubt would shock parents and learners alike.
I am calling on providers, local authorities and the government to take on board Ofsted’s recommendations. We need to work together to ensure that we keep learners safe and protect them from all forms of extremism.
Ofsted has made a series of recommendations to those responsible for implementing the Prevent strategy:
-
the government should make sure Prevent duty advice is offered consistently to providers and should better promote the guidance available to them
-
providers need to make sure appropriate policies and procedures are in place, and develop partnerships with other providers and local authorities to increase the sharing of intelligence
-
providers should also ensure staff receive appropriate training so they can identify and flag concerns
-
learners should have a good understanding of British values and the threats that radicalisation and extremism can pose
In the next academic year Ofsted will raise further its expectations on providers to implement all aspects of the Prevent duty and will continue to evaluate its impact on keeping learners safe.

‘728 OSC centres to deal crime against women’: Reddy
New Delhi: A total of 728 One Stop Centres (OSCs) have been approved by the government to assist women affected by violence and 2.27 lakh women have been benefited by these centers across the country so far, Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. In a written reply, Reddy said 595 OSC centers are operational in the country under the scheme being implemented across the country since April 1, 2015, which is exclusively designed to provide integrated services such as medical aid, police assistance, legal counseling or court case management, psycho-social counseling and temporary shelter to women affected by violence under one roof.
The Minister replied to a question raised by Biju Janata Dala’s Bhartruhari Mahtab and BJPn’s former ally Shiv Sena’s Rahul Ramesh Shewale.
Reddy said that the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in its publication “Crime in India-2017” had shown that there was “no trend” regarding the increased rate of crime against women and minor girls in the country during each of the last three years and the current year.
The Minister said that the government has taken a number of other initiatives for prevention and speedy investigation relating to cases of sexual assault like “The Criminal Law (Amendment), Act 2013” which was enacted for effective deterrence against sexual offenses. (IANS)

I should post on this blog more often.
I should get up earlier.
I should go to bed earlier.
I should just sleep more.
I should eat better.
I should drink less.
I should workout more.
I should date a respectable woman.
But should postpone marriage until my late late 20s.
I should learn more.
I should read more.
I should code more.
I should watch TV less.
I should go outside more.
I should talk to strangers more.
I should travel more.
But then again, shouldn't we all? How can we possibly get to a point where we should no longer improve anything?
p.s. This tends to be the bulk of my inner monologue, especially at night while lying in bed. This is why I tend to be driven for self improvement.
p.p.s. I also tend to meet these resolutions poorly. I find it easy to make my future self have to deal with. It's always easier to say what other people should do.
p.p.p.s. The worst part is that I know how to accomplish all of these. We all do. So why don't we do it?

Man found dead in Stockholm apartment after three years
by The LocalA dead man was found in a Stockholm apartment on Monday, after apparently having lain there for three years before the alarm was raised.
Police said that judging by the post that had been delivered to the apartment, the food in the fridge and the man's diary, he appeared to have died three years ago.
"Police were called to the apartment because the neighbours hadn't seen the man in a very long time, and they had contacted the landlord," Södermalm police officer Viktor Adolphson, who also tweeted about the incident, told The Local.
"There was a lot of post by the door, and judging by the post and other factors it appeared that the man had been dead for more than three years."
Inside the apartment, a light had been left on and the radio was also still playing.
Adolphson described the man as "elderly" and said police were working from the assumption that the death was of natural causes, but that the cause of death would be confirmed by a forensics team.
He said that it was rare for a deceased person to go so long without their death being discovered.
"Most often, someone notices if there's a friend or someone had booked an appointment with the person, they'll notice that the person isn't there. But it happens, unfortunately," the police officer said.

Summary
Hello, Hello! My name is Ryan Nitz. I'm (insert JS to calculate date)...0 years old! I was born in Fredericton, NB, Canada, and raised in a small town in the surrounding area. Many say it is the perfect sized city.  (Cough cough.. Toronto). Fredericton is a growing atlantic hub for technology, home to a large university/student population, and contains an incredible amount of craft breweries. I love it here!
I have been interested in development and coding for a very long time. My father encouraged me to explore my early interest after I bragged to him about changing website designs through the element inspector. In highschool, my homeroom period just happened to be the BBT (Broad Based Technology) classroom with 100+ computers. Every day I would play around creating small, fun, and downright weird websites. In my grade 11 and 12 computer science class, I mopped the floor with the other students and even the teacher! Those courses sparked my long-lasting love for Java (Sorry Microsoft).
During my final year of highschool, the UNB Computer Science faculty gave a presentation that opened a career path for me to consider. With a few weeks left of my summer vacation, I decided to enroll in the BCs program knowing I would at least be doing something I enjoy. This turned into one of the best choices I have ever made. The accredited co-op program enabled me to pay for my degree in full and then some. More importantly, it gave me priceless industry experience.

Interests
-
Weight lifting and general fitness/exercise/diet
Since grade 7 I have been interested in fitness. It unfortunately started as a naive pursuit of replicating stereotypically attractive men in movies and magazines. Surely this was the secret recipe to be more attractive and get a girlfriend (or so my 7th-grade self thought). Due to my sudden interest in looking physically fit, I neglected research and proper technique for building strength and balanced muscle growth. It has been a long time in the making but I eventually reached a more balanced level of fitness with a proper diet and overall health. Exercise quickly became more than what I initially intended. Now it is a form of meditation, the key to managing stress and anchoring my daily routine. Of course, there are endless articles, papers, and a general consensus that exercise and weight training is beneficial. I won't preach to the choir too hard on this one.

Aviation
Holy what can I say? Aviation pretty much consumes me. I am an avgeek through and through. Where most people get nervous or upset over many and/or long layovers, I get excited! More time to spend at the airport looking at planes and listening to the airport's ATC (Air Traffic Control) frequencies online. Much of my free time is spent consuming aviation-related media and content. Anything I can learn about any type of flying is always welcome in my brain. I also own a flight simulator setup and fly around on all sorts of virtual planes and trips. My friends and family are enablers in my aviation nerdiness and they have given me many great gifts over the years.
Now I'm the proud owner of the following (Will add photos):- RCAF wings (image)
- Various aircraft pins (image)
- Various patches (image)
- Aviation art. When I get my own home I would like to have a hobbies room plastered with items and art related to my interests. (images)
- Military: Polaris CC-150, A330 MRTT, C17
- Airbus: A330 series (butter machine)
- Boeing: 777 series and 787 series
- Overall: 777 series
One of my main goals and aspirations is to own a small general aviation airplane that I can fly for fun. In the same way people get trucks/RVs/boats/cars/ATVs, I will get a plane. (Which will likely cost the same or more than all of those things combined, haha).

Coding/Development
When I get an idea that I can feasibly pursue with my current array of skills and hardware resources, I give it the good old college try. Or in my case, University try? This has led to many personal projects and tools spanning from a few lines of code to multi-directory, multi-thousand-line projects.
Below is an example of a simple script I conjured up in a few minutes to calculate my total dividend received based on an activity statement on wealthsimple.com. I could get this info by downloading a quarterly or yearly report, but I wanted the total dividends received to date. I write small snippets of code like this all the time to solve small inconveniences I run into (java/js/python):
$(document).ready(function(){
let dividends = $(".hRNFBf");
var total = 0.0;
dividends.each(function(){
var valString = $(this).find("span").text();
valString = valString.replace("$", "");
total += parseFloat(valString);
})
console.log(total);
});And here are two of my largest projects to test my skills and learn new technologies:
- This very site and all the connected static sites: https://github.com/ryannitz/ryannitz.github.io
- An android app that would provide push notifications when the daily covid updates were released on government of Canada dashboards/apis: https://github.com/ryannitz/covid-updates

Lego
I have been a Lego collector for as long as I can remember. It used to be a goto present for Christmas and birthdays. During my very younger years, I would disassemble the sets and make my own creations by combining bricks from different sets. This, in addition to breaking down the sets for storage purposes, meant my collection was sitting, disassembled, in large totes. Only recently (2022) I painstakingly put every set back together and placed them on display on new shelves and in any free space, I could find. As mentioned earlier, I hope to move the collection into a special area or scatter them around as house decor. I also plan to continually grow the collection over time.

The Developer User Group is partnering with Magnus Mårtensson from Sweden to bring you an exclusive opportunity to learn the secrets and shortcuts to the Azure Cloud Platform, through a two-day workshop, that he would like to present in Cape Town and Johannesburg early next year*.
Magnus Mårtensson, of Loftysoft, is an Azure Most Valuable Professional (MVP) since 2000 and was MVP of the year 2012. He is recognized as Microsoft Regional Director (RD). His workshop Azure Wizard, which has been run several times around the world, is a two-day course on essential Azure skills. The workshop is a hands on approach to mastering the powerful Azure Platform, and includes a set of scripts and skills to take back to your work or business right away. Anyone who develops, deploys, distributes and diagnoses applications on the Azure Platform should attend this course!
Four "key powers" in Azure will make You an Azure Wizard! Granted these powers there is nothing You won't be able to build in Azure! It will be much more easy. You will be much quicker. You will feel much more comfortable and secure.
You are at the Cloud cross roads and want to be effective using Azure! You want to grab this opportunity, have a good direction and speed of ascent. When going to the Cloud, many things remain the same. Other key things are new and have changed quite a bit. You hesitate. You feel uncertain and unfamiliar, or you are frustrated and confused. Many have been where you are. Some have taken this course:
“I wish someone had told me the secrets of Azure before we started two years ago! This course is spot on things we now apply successfully every day in our Azure solutions. We are more goal oriented when using the Cloud. Ultimately this puts us in control, saves us money and makes working with Cloud more tangible and much more fun.” – Brian Jensen, workshop attendee, Denmark
Simply put, the secrets and shortcuts to the Azure Cloud Platform! The course helps you handle some of the most important blockers in Cloud Computing: How do I deploy to and handle my new environments in the Cloud in a predictable and automatable way? How do I avoid runaway costs in the Cloud when developers can create anything they want? How do I set up to divide the bill between departments and environments? How do we stay compliant and restrict to appropriate locations and services? How do I handle access to Cloud resources in an effective way? How do I monitor resources when they are running – is the site up and is it successful? And “who’s database is this”, because it is costing us money? Avoid confusion and hesitation! Measure effectiveness, speed and success! This course is Your booster pack!
“Regardless if you are new to the Cloud, or if you have been in there for years most companies, developers and ITPro generally do not know the important fundamentals of the Cloud needed to have flow, be fast and focus on their business!” – Magnus Mårtensson, Presenter
You will take command of using the powerful Azure Platform and bring your business to new heights with your new powers and you will work with confidence in Azure:
The course is hands on and you receive a set of scripts and skills to use them on your own services as soon as you get back to the office! Anyone who develop, deploy, distribute and diagnose applications on the Azure Platform should attend this course!

Basscss is a versatile starting point for any project. These tips and tricks will help you build on top of its foundation in an elegant and maintainable way.
When using any front end framework you should avoid overriding the built in styles. Customize default values in the framework with variables where possible. If using variables doesn’t suite your needs, consider adding styles that extend, but don't override, the defaults.
If you want to alter the defaults in the source code, make adjustments to the declared properties and values before beginning to use the framework and be sure to document any changes to the default behavior. If you do make adjustments after the framework has been set up in a project, be cautious and notify any other contributors of those changes.
The utility styles in Basscss should be considered immutable. These styles aid in scalability,
maintenance, and readability by clearing stating what they do. For example, .block
should always
set display block and do nothing else. This is similar to the concept of doing one thing and doing it well.
If a particular style or utility doesn’t suite the needs of the element it’s applied to,
remove it and replace it with more appropriate styles.
Before writing any new styles on top of Basscss, check the source code or documentation to see if there is already a style that will do what you need. Chances are, there is, or there is a combination of styles that can acheive the same thing.
The type scale and white space scale in Basscss are intended to bring consistency and help normalize visual design considerations. Type sizes should never be specified outside of the type scale, and margins and paddings should all be handled with the white space utilities. Making one-off adjustments to things like font sizes and margins can quickly lead to code bloat, harder-to-read markup, and a less consistent designs.
Some approaches to CSS suggest adjusting styles with contextual selectors. The styles in Basscss should never be contextually adjusted. Doing so would break the readability of classes in markup and the ability to make quick iterative adjustments. One of the major advantages of Basscss’s approach is the clarity of reading classes in markup and the portability of styles. For example, your navigation might exist in the header element today, but future design decisions may require moving elements around.
If you need to adjust a style in one particular place,
consider how you could make that style as reusable as possible and how those
adjustments could be made with a style extension.
For example, if you want the button in your site header to
be larger and a different color from other buttons in your site,
consider making extensions like .button-bigger
and .button-orange
.
This will help your future self and others understand
what the styles are doing without having to reference the CSS.
Large projects will inevitably become more complex. Handling and maintaining that complexity in markup templates is much easier than adding complexity to your stylesheet. Before abstracting combinations of styles out in to new styles, make sure to look for patterns and think about reusability, and consider ways in which your templating engine can DRY up your code. If you’re constantly duplicating the same markup to create UI elements like media player controls or modals, make use of things like partials, helpers, or components to keep things maintainable.
If you’re adding something like a background image, consider using inline styles if that image will only be used in one place. There’s no need to send extra CSS to pages that don’t contain this background image.
Keeping specificity consistently low in a stylesheet helps mitigate the need to override styles
with highly specific styles or the !important
flag.
High specificity in a stylesheet should be considered a code smell
and generally leads to more problems than it solves.
Basscss keeps selector specificity as low as possible to ensure interoperability and portability.
Don’t nest selectors. It may be tempting to add a style for a parent element and all child elements together,
for example .list-navigation li a
,
but this creates a tight coupling between CSS and markup
and makes future adjustments more difficult and limits the portability of styles.
Nesting selectors can also add unnecessary specificity that might be difficult to compensate for in the future.
Never use IDs as CSS selectors. IDs are useful to reference parts of an HTML document, and work well as speedy JavaScript selectors, but they have limited applications in CSS. Because only one element ID exists per document, the reusability of styles with ID selectors is inheritly limited. IDs also create excessive specificity that will trump the majority of Basscss’s styles.
Keep structure and skin separate. Properties like colors, backgrounds and borders often differ by location, can change with the design over time, and don’t have a huge impact on page layout. Keeping structural styles and skins decoupled aids in interoperability and design flexibility.

The more I think about this movie, the less I like it.
"Armageddon" compares very unfavorably to this year's *other* asteroid opus, "Deep Impact." That film excelled by using its spectacular special effects sequences sparingly, and allowing room for its characters to ponder the reality of the End of the World.
There's no time for pondering--or even rational thought--in "Armageddon." The film bangs, booms and thunders at warp speed, with herky-jerky editing that at times makes it impossible to tell which of Our Heroes has just been impaled by a piece of flying space debris.
Just like "Deep Impact," "Armageddon" deals with the discovery of an enormous asteroid bearing down on Earth, and involves a mission to land a team of astronauts on the rock, plant a nuclear device and blow the space bogey off-course. However, whereas "Impact" sent an efficient, well-trained group of specialists into orbit, the makers of "Armageddon" thought it would be more fun to charge a crew of incompetent oil-drillers with this all-important responsibility.
According to the film, Bruce Willis' gang of unruly drillers is supposed to be the best of the best, but we never see them in that fashion. They dork about with the equipment during training, break a lot of stuff and--the night before the Mission to Save All Life on Earth--they get plastered at a strip club and are arrested. Most of what they accomplish during the course of the film has more to do with blind luck than skill.
Actually, most of the characters in this film are incompetent in their own ways. The Russian space station is a floating deathtrap run by a slightly crazed Cold War stereotype. The astronauts attempt to land their shuttles on the asteroid like aircraft, despite the lack of a runway--real astronauts would make a soft landing ala the moon missions. The President of the U.S. decides to detonate the nuke before it's been properly inserted in the core of the rock, despite knowing fully well that a surface explosion would have no effect at all. The mission commander, when attempting to defuse the bomb, doesn't know whether to cut the red wire or the blue wire--absurd, considering that the bomb is one of *ours*. And on and on.
While I normally hate it when folks pick on the science in science fiction films, this one got my dander up because of its present-day setting and its use--for the most part--of existing technology. There are such howlers as a pair of space shuttles rounding the moon in what appears to be a matter of moments, rather than days. The asteroid itself is a bizarre, spiky landscape which bears no resemblence to its real-life counterparts. And if the deadly rock is the size of *Texas*, as this one supposedly is, how would a single nuke cause sufficient damage? If you drilled an 800-foot hole into Texas soil and dropped in a bomb, could you split the Lone Star State in half? Any why 800 feet? Near the end of the film, there's a big hoo-ha about reaching the magic 800 foot depth. Wouldn't 797 feet have sufficed?
No one in the film seems concerned that if one could split an asteroid the size of Texas, pieces the size of Dallas/Ft. Worth would likely rain down on our heads. And what of the other house-sized rocks that appear to be flying in the wake of the big one? Apparently, they're just for show.
The characters aren't much to care about, and indeed, they don't seem to care much either. With the end of humanity in the balance, there's never a sense that Our Heroes are worried about anything other than their own skins (or the prospect of never having to pay taxes again). In the big climax, with just seconds left to the Point of No Return, Bruce Willis' character takes time out from popping the nuke to make a lengthy, allegedly touching speech--never mind the fact that we've seen plenty of examples of sudden death in the hostile asteroid environment. What if, mid-speech, a flying chunk of gravel took his head clean off? I don't think the population of Earth would be happy about that--though at least it'd get him to shut up.
Oh, it's not all bad. There's some funny dialogue, most of it coming from the ever-buggy Steve Buscemi. (However, there's a shot angled up inside Buscemi's snaggly mouth which gave me the willies.) The destruction scenes--though all too obviously computer effects--are nicely realized.
But when all was said and done, I found myself strangely unmoved--neither thrilled by the out-of-this-world heroics nor relieved at the ultimate survival of the species. Even a selfless sacrifice in the film's final moments didn't affect me in the same way as a similar sequence in "Deep Impact."
The short of it? If you want to see an asteroid movie and haven't seen "Deep Impact," do so while it's still on the big screen. "Armageddon"'s effects benefit from the theater experience as well, but if you wait for home video, you'll at least have a fast-forward button.

Kanye West Calls Himself The ‘Greatest Artist That God Ever Created’
by Julia BanimKanye West isn’t exactly known for his modesty, having long made grandiose claims about his creative abilities.
And, as of Sunday, November 17, he has made what could be described as his boldest declaration yet; describing himself as the ‘greatest artist that God ever created’.
Pastor Joel Osteen invited the 42-year-old rapper to speak before the congregation at his Lakewood mega church in Houston, and his speech was as humble as you might expect.
See more of Kanye’s speech in the following clip:
In footage which has been shared by TMZ, West spoke out about how his faith had helped him after he was hospitalised with mental health issues in 2016.
West said:
Now, the greatest artist that God has ever exist- uh, created is now working for Him, I know that God has been calling me for a long time and the Devil has been distracting me for a long time.
And when I was at my lowest point, God was there with me, and sending me visions and inspiring me and I remember sitting in the hospital at UCLA after having a mental breakdown and there’s documentation of me drawing a church and [wanting to] start a church in the middle of Calabasas.
West’s conversion to Christianity has formed a prominent part of his identity in recent years, influencing his music and changing his outlook on life.
Addressing the congregation, Kanye also revealed he felt as if he was being pressured to ‘not talk about Jesus so loud’:
So in the studio, and this studio is gonna compare to places that you’re in in life when people tell you to quiet your voice and not talk about Jesus so loud,
But everything else is so loud around us. When I’m in California or when I’m in Vegas, they got posters up advertising sex trafficking, because if there’s and advertisement for a strip club, that is advertising sex trafficking.
So if it’s a man that’s going through things with his family or going through things at work and he feels he has to go there, we all end up participating, whether it’s the spirits that get advertised to us all the time. Alcohol is, they call it a spirit.
He continued:
So we get constant advertisements for spirits.
We get constant advertisements for strip clubs and other things like that. But then we bring up the name of Jesus, we’re told to be quiet—’Quiet that down.
This latest outpouring of self-congratulatory back patting comes just weeks after West referred to himself as ‘undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time’, telling Zane Lowe, ‘It’s not even a question at this point. It’s just a fact’.

Former McLaren and Ferrari engineer Fry joining Renault
AUSTIN, Texas: Former McLaren and Ferrari engineer Pat Fry will join Renault next year, the Formula One team announced at the U.S. Grand Prix on Saturday.
The Briton started out with Benetton before joining McLaren in 1993, winning world championships with Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton, before joining Ferrari as deputy technical director in 2010.
He returned to Woking as engineering director last September.
"His arrival is yet another step as we build and improve our team structure," said Renault's executive director Marcin Budkowski, who worked previously with Fry at McLaren.
"Pat’s experience, talent and determination will be additional assets as we continue our progress."
Renault announced on Friday that Dirk De Beer was returning to the team as head of aerodynamics with a deputy to join next year from another team.
Renault, with Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo and German Nico Hulkenberg, are fifth in the constructors' championship with three races to go, after finishing fourth last year.

Is the influx of millions of dollars to Wisconsin both for and against Scott Walker an aberration, or have state political races always been powered by "outside" influences? Our project collates and visualizes the amount and proportion of out-of-state money contributed to gubernatorial races in all 50 states and tracks from where this money came (which states, largest individual donors).
Our raw data was scraped from the Sunlight Foundation's Influence Explorer and other sources, and cleaned so that it could serve to power our interactive heat map (more to come on how that was made).

Redirecting to/from command name instead of file. Did you want pipes/xargs (or quote to ignore)?
cat file > tr -d '\r'
cat file > rm
cat file | tr -d '\r' # tr reads stdin
cat file | xargs -d '\n' rm # rm reads arguments
You are using file redirection, but the filename is an unquoted command name. Instead of running the command and feeding data to it, this just writes to a file with the same name.
To run the command and feed data to it, determine how it gets its data:
xargs
as in the second exampleNote that xargs
has many pitfalls when it comes to spaces and quotes. cat file | xargs rm
will appear to work during testing, but fails for filenames like My File.txt
or Can't_Fight_This_Feeling.mp3
. The example uses the GNU extension -d '\n'
to more safely handle these names.
If you actually did want to write a file named after a command, simply quote the filename to let ShellCheck know you meant it literally and not as a command name. This does not change anything about how the script works:
# Write to a file literally named 'rm', does not try to delete anything
echo "A potentially dangerous command" > "rm"


Closes the active window. In Microsoft Excel for Windows, CLOSE is equivalent to clicking the Close command on the Document Control menu. In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, CLOSE is equivalent to clicking the close box.
Syntax
CLOSE(save_logical, route_logical)
Save_logical is a logical value that specifies whether to save the file before closing the window.
| Save_logical | Result |
| TRUE | Saves the file |
| FALSE | Does not save the file |
| Omitted | If you've made changes to the file, displays a dialog box asking if you want to save the file |
Route_logical is a logical value that specifies whether to route the file after closing it. This argument is ignored if there is not a routing slip present.
| Route_logical | Result |
| TRUE | Routes the file |
| FALSE | Does not route the file |
| Omitted | If you've specified recipients for routing, displays a dialog box asking if you want to save the file |
Remarks
Users of Microsoft Excel versions earlier than 4.0 should note that if the macro sheet containing the function is the active sheet, CLOSE now closes the workbook.
Note When you use the CLOSE function, Microsoft Excel does not run any Auto_Close macros before closing the workbook.

Tool Setup Screen - Trajectory Planner
(Click on Image to Jump to related help)
The Tool Setup Screen allows KMotionCNC to be configured for a particular machine tool. Each machine tool is likely to have different motion resolution, speeds, and acceleration limits. It is also likely to different I/O requirements with regard to Spindle control and such. Additionally a machine may have different initialization and homing requirements. KMotionCNC has a flexible mechanism for defining what type of action is to be performed for various M Codes and Custom Buttons.
KMotionCNC contains a powerful Trajectory Planner. The Trajectory Planner utilizes a "break angle" concept to decide when a stop must be made. Vectors that are in the same direction within the "break angle" are traversed without stopping. When a "sharp" angle is detected a complete stop will be made before beginning on the next vector. The Break Angle Parameter allows the user to specify the angle in degrees that will be considered a "sharp" angle. KMotionCNC considers the change in direction in 3 dimensions (x,y,z ignoring a). The Trajectory Planner is capable of optimizing the acceleration and deceleration through many short (or long) vectors all of which may have different acceleration and velocity limitations.
The Trajectory Planner also has a "lookahead" parameter. With KMotionCNC the G Code Program itself, the G Code Interpreter, and the Trajectory Planner all reside within the PC running Microsoft Windows™. Since the Microsoft Windows™ is not a real-time OS, a certain amount of motion must be buffered in the motion controller to handle the cases where the PC program doesn't have a chance to execute for a while. These time periods are typically very short (a few milliseconds), but in some extreme cases may occasionally be as long as one or several seconds. The worst case is often a factor of the hardware (disk network adapters, etc) and associated drivers that are loaded into the system. The lookahead parameter is used to determine how much motion, in terms of time, should be downloaded to the motion controller before actual motion is initiated. Furthermore, after motion has begun, the lookahead parameter is used to pause the trajectory planner to avoid having the Trajectory Planner get too far ahead of the actual motion. The disadvantage of having the Trajectory Planner get too far ahead is that if the User decides to override the feed rate, since the motion has already been planned and downloaded, the rate will not be changed quickly. A value of 3 seconds is very conservative on most systems. If more responsive feed rate override is desirable, an experiment with a smaller value might be made.
"Collinear Tolerance" allows GCode blocks that are nearly linear, to be combined into a single linear segment to allow faster and smoother motion. Often GCode programs generated by 3D CAD systems contain very small vectors that appear jagged or noisy due to numerical round off errors . See below for an example of a small GCode fragment from an intended circle. The 0.3 inch diameter circle was divided into 10,000 sides each only 0.0001 inches in length. Intuitively one would think this would result in an extremely smooth contour. Ironically, rounding off to 4 decimal digits introduces "noise" that results in sharp angles and each axis being required to repeatedly stop and start. Even with quite high acceleration, stopping and starting over short distances results in extremely low average speed and most likely a rough surface. A combined segment shown below in blue will result in a faster and smoother motion.
Segments are combined as long as all intermediate waypoints do not deviate from the combined segment by more than the allowed collinear tolerance. Setting the collinear tolerance to zero will disallow any segments from being combined.

The "Arcs To Segments" option allows circular arcs that were specified in the original GCode to be replaced by a number of linear segments. Each arc will be recursively subdivided until any cord error deviation from the original path is less than the Collinear Tolerance parameter. Sub dividing the arc (actually a helix) into line segments allows the path motion to be more fully optimized by the Trajectory Planner. This is because as the motion progresses through the arc the direction changes. As the direction changes the different axes become involved and also work together in different ways (diagonal directions make use of more than one axis). This means constraints (max velocity and acceleration) vary throughout the arc. With individual line segments the Trajectory planner is able to use optimal acceleration and velocity throughout the arc. When Arcs To Segments is not selected the entire arc may be treated as a single entity and will use the most limited velocity and acceleration constraints throughout the arc for the entire arc. If the feed rate is slow and curvature based accelerations are small relative to the axis limits then there will be little performance increase in using segments.
When the "Arcs To Segments" Option is selected the Collinear Tolerance must be larger than zero. Care should be used in selecting a Collinear Tolerance so that an excessive number of segments is not generated. The number of segments increases as the square root of the inverse of the Collinear Tolerance (cutting the tolerance in half increase the number of segments by 40%).
For a description of the Corner Rounding feature and Corner Tolerance and Facet Angle see here.
Defines the Jog Speeds for both the Jog Buttons and any attached Gamepad controller. These speed are the maximum Jog speed which is the double arrow jog button or the GamePad joystick fully depressed. See Also Jog Buttons. The Reverse R/Z may be selected if the GamePad Z motion is reversed on a particular GamePad device.
Defines the step size distances for the Step Buttons that are displayed on the main KMotionCNC Screen. Setting a step size to zero will hide the size selection. See Also Jog Buttons.
Displays in the DROs the Measured Encoder Position for axes that are configured with an Input Mode other than None. When Un-checked all DROs display the commanded position.
Zero/Set Buttons near DROs allow the User to Set the DRO to Zero or a Specified Value. This is accomplished by adjusting GCode Offsets. When this option is selected then the currently selected Fixture Offset will be adjusted. When unchecked the Global G92/G52 Offset will be adjusted
The Axis Motion Parameters define the scale, maximum feed velocities, and maximum feed accelerations for each of the six axis.
The first parameter is the axis's scale in counts/inch. For the example value of 100 shown, KMotionCNC will command the motion controller to move 100 counts for each inch of motion in the G Code Program. This value is always in counts/inch regardless of the units used in the interpreter. KMotionCNC will automatically perform any conversions.
The second parameter is the maximum allowed feed rate for the axis in inches/sec. Note that the G Code Interpreter Feed Rate is defined in inches per minute or (mm per minute) so be aware of the different time units. These are maximum feed rates for each axis. If a vector tool motion at a particular feed rate has any component velocity that exceeds the corresponding axis's maximum velocity, the feed rate for the vector will be reduced so that all axes remain at or below their maximum allowed velocity.
The third parameter is the maximum allowed acceleration for the axis in inches/sec2. The G Code Language has no provisions for specifying acceleration rates. Therefore the acceleration (and deceleration) along a vector used will always be the largest acceleration such that each axis's acceleration is at or below the specified limit.
The velocity and acceleration limits apply only to linear and circular feed motions (G1, G2, G3). Rapid motions (G0) use the settings in the motion controller (velocity, acceleration, and Jerk) to move each axis independently from one point to another (which is likely not to be a straight line). To change the speed of Rapid motions change the configuration settings in the motion controller.
Axes A,B,C sometimes are angular axes and are programmed to move angles of degrees rather than linear distances. If so select "Degrees" so that the axis moves in degrees regardless of the Inch or mm modes in GCode.
The best method for performing coordinated linear and angular combined motion is to use G93 Inverse Time Mode. This mode allows the CAD system to generate GCode that will cause the feed rate at the tool to always be at the desired feed rate based on the geometry of the system. However this requires a time (specified by its inverse) for each GCode block to be computed and included in the data stream. If Inverse TIme GCode data is not available a Radius for each Angular Axis can be specified. This allows the Trajectory planner to convert angular motion rates to linear motion rates. This assumes that the tool will remain at a relatively constant radius from the rotation axis (ie. engraving on a cylinder). Whenever Degrees is specified with a non-zero radius then the Trajectory Planner will consider the motion for that axis to be at the equivalent radius and orthogonal to all other combined motions.
As an example for the settings shown above for Axis A the maximum linear Velocity and Acceleration rates are the same as X, Y, and Z assuming a 10 inch radius about the A Axis of rotation.
57.295 deg/sec x π/180deg x 10in = 10in/sec
229.183 deg/sec2 x π/180deg x 10in = 40in/sec2
The GCode sequence shown below will perform a G1 Feed a linear distance of 10 inches in both X and A. Because the X and A axis are assumed to be orthogonal the combined distance will be assumed to be 14.1 inches total. At a feed rate of 60 ipm = 1 ips, the total Feed Time will be 14.1 sec (plus a small acceleration time).

Spindle Speed measurement is also supported (Single Point Threading is under development). A quadrature encoder is required on the spindle. Specify the Sensor Type as 1 to enable the Spindle measurement. Configure the Axis Channel that is configured to read the encoder (Note this is not the encoder channel, rather it is the axis that has the encoder channel configured as its input). Specify the Update time, Tau, and counts/rev. See here for more information.

Introduction: from brain cancer. I asked Misha who worked with him to write about it. Partha Niyogi, Louis Block Professor in Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Chicago passed away on October 1, 2010, aged 43. I first met Partha Niyogi almost exactly ten years ago when I was a graduate student in math and he had just started as a faculty in Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Chicago. Strangely, we first talked at length due to a somewhat convoluted mathematical argument in a paper on pattern recognition. I asked him some questions about the paper, and, even though the topic was new to him, he had put serious thought into it and we started regular meetings. We made significant progress and developed a line of research stemming initially just from trying to understand that one paper and to simplify one derivation. I think this was typical of Partha, showing both his intellectual curiosity and his intuition for the serendipitous; having a sense and focus fo

This is partly a coincidence, and partly due to the general internationalization of science over the last few years. With cuts to basic science in the US and increased hassle for visitors, conferences outside the US become more attractive. Europe and Australia/New Zealand are the immediate winners because they have the science, infrastructure, and english in place. China and India are possible future winners.

Introduction: There will be two machine learning summer schools in 2006. One is in Canberra, Australia from February 6 to February 17 (Aussie summer). The webpage is fully ‘live’ so you should actively consider it now. The other is in Taipei, Taiwan from July 24 to August 4. This one is still in the planning phase, but that should be settled soon. Attending an MLSS is probably the quickest and easiest way to bootstrap yourself into a reasonable initial understanding of the field of machine learning.

Introduction: We just finished the Chicago 2005 Machine Learning Summer School . The school was 2 weeks long with about 130 (or 140 counting the speakers) participants. For perspective, this is perhaps the largest graduate level machine learning class I am aware of anywhere and anytime (previous MLSS s have been close). Overall, it seemed to go well, although the students are the real authority on this. For those who missed it, DVDs will be available from our Slovenian friends. Email Mrs Spela Sitar of the Jozsef Stefan Institute for details. The following are some notes for future planning and those interested. Good Decisions Acquiring the larger-than-necessary “Assembly Hall” at International House . Our attendance came in well above our expectations, so this was a critical early decision that made a huge difference. The invited speakers were key. They made a huge difference in the quality of the content. Delegating early and often was important. One key difficulty here

Introduction: Geoff Gordon points out AIStats 2011 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The call for papers is now out, due Nov. 1. The plan is to experiment with the review process to encourage quality in several ways. I expect to submit a paper and would encourage others with good research to do likewise.
same-blog 2 0.76124531 357 hunch net-2009-05-30-Many ways to Learn this summer
Introduction: There are at least 3 summer schools related to machine learning this summer. The first is at University of Chicago June 1-11 organized by Misha Belkin , Partha Niyogi , and Steve Smale . Registration is closed for this one, meaning they met their capacity limit. The format is essentially an extended Tutorial/Workshop. I was particularly interested to see Valiant amongst the speakers. I’m also presenting Saturday June 6, on logarithmic time prediction. Praveen Srinivasan points out the second at Peking University in Beijing, China, July 20-27. This one differs substantially, as it is about vision, machine learning, and their intersection. The deadline for applications is June 10 or 15. This is also another example of the growth of research in China, with active support from NSF . The third one is at Cambridge , England, August 29-September 10. It’s in the MLSS series . Compared to the Chicago one, this one is more about the Bayesian side of ML, alth
3 0.69297057 28 hunch net-2005-02-25-Problem: Online Learning
Introduction: Despite my best intentions, this is not a fully specified problem, but rather a research direction. Competitive online learning is one of the more compelling pieces of learning theory because typical statements of the form “this algorithm will perform almost as well as a large set of other algorithms” rely only on fully-observable quantities, and are therefore applicable in many situations. Examples include Winnow , Weighted Majority , and Binomial Weighting . Algorithms with this property haven’t taken over the world yet. Here might be some reasons: Lack of caring . Many people working on learning theory don’t care about particular applications much. This means constants in the algorithm are not optimized, usable code is often not produced, and empirical studies aren’t done. Inefficiency . Viewed from the perspective of other learning algorithms, online learning is terribly inefficient. It requires that every hypothesis (called an expert in the online learning set
4 0.56067026 1 hunch net-2005-01-19-Why I decided to run a weblog.
Introduction: I have decided to run a weblog on machine learning and learning theory research. Here are some reasons: 1) Weblogs enable new functionality: Public comment on papers. No mechanism for this exists at conferences and most journals. I have encountered it once for a science paper. Some communities have mailing lists supporting this, but not machine learning or learning theory. I have often read papers and found myself wishing there was some method to consider other’s questions and read the replies. Conference shortlists. One of the most common conversations at a conference is “what did you find interesting?” There is no explicit mechanism for sharing this information at conferences, and it’s easy to imagine that it would be handy to do so. Evaluation and comment on research directions. Papers are almost exclusively about new research, rather than evaluation (and consideration) of research directions. This last role is satisfied by funding agencies to some extent, but

Introduction: Here’s a quick reference for summer ML-related conferences sorted by due date: Conference Due date Location Reviewing KDD Feb 10 August 12-16, Beijing, China Single Blind COLT Feb 14 June 25-June 27, Edinburgh, Scotland Single Blind? (historically) ICML Feb 24 June 26-July 1, Edinburgh, Scotland Double Blind, author response, zero SPOF UAI March 30 August 15-17, Catalina Islands, California Double Blind, author response Geographically, this is greatly dispersed and the UAI/KDD conflict is unfortunate. Machine Learning conferences are triannual now, between NIPS , AIStat , and ICML . This has not always been the case: the academic default is annual summer conferences, then NIPS started with a December conference, and now AIStat has grown into an April conference. However, the first claim is not quite correct. NIPS and AIStat have few competing venues while ICML implicitly competes with many other conf
