To create Alpha Models you must implement the IAlphaModel
interface. This has one method; Update(QCAlgorithmFramework algorithm, Slice data)
. This gives you the algorithm object to call the base QuantConnect API in addition to data for the current moment of time.
// Algorithm framework model that produces insights interface IAlphaModel : INotifiedSecurityChanges { // Updates this alpha model with the latest data from the algorithm. // This is called each time the algorithm receives data for subscribed securities Insight[] Update(QCAlgorithmFramework algorithm, Slice data) }
The Alpha Model returns an array of Insight objects. Insights hold the prediction for the asset. These can be thought of actionable trading signals; indicating the asset direction, magnitude and confidence in the near future. Insight classes have the following important properties:
class Insight { // Symbol of this Insight Symbol Symbol; // Gets the type of insight, for example, price insight or volatility insight InsightType Type; // Gets the predicted direction, Down, Flat or Up. InsightDirection Direction; // Gets the period over which this insight is expected to come to fruition TimeSpan Period; // Gets the predicted percent change in the insight type (price/volatility) (optional) double? Magnitude; // Gets the confidence in this insight (optional) double? Confidence { get; private set; } }

[gecode-users] Inclusion check for SetVar
Guido Tack
tack at ps.uni-sb.de
Fri Mar 31 09:06:32 CEST 2006
Hi!
> I am working in the review of equal propagator for SetVar, and I want to
> know if in gecode, the propagator checks if lower bounds are a subsets of

> intersetion of the upper bounds.

I am not sure I really got your question. The propagator computes something
like
lbunion = lowerbound(x0) union lowerbound(x1)
lowerbound(x0) = lbunion
lowerbound(x1) = lbunion
ubinter = upperbound(x0) intersected with upperbound(x1)
upperbound(x0) = ubinter
upperbound(x1) = ubinter
If your question is whether after these steps, it is tested that
lowerbound(x0) subset upperbound(x0) and the same for x1, then yes, that's
tested. It is hidden behind the "tell" operation
(e.g. x0.includeI(home, lbuc)). A little deeper in the code of the SetVarImp
class, there is a function processGlbChange which checks (using the function
boundsConsistent()) whether the bounds are still consistent. If this fails,
includeI returns ME_SET_FAILED, which the macro GECODE_ME_CHECK checks and
translates to ES_FAILED.
So, currently we indeed need to check that the lower bound is a subset of the
upper bound. We are in the process of developing more efficient data
structures that can signal directly when something is removed from the upper
bound that belongs to the lower bound, or something is added to the lower
bound that is no longer in the upper bound. Stay tuned ;-)
Cheers,
Guido

Sabah takes precautionary measures to prevent spread of polio virus
KOTA KINABALU, Dec 9 — Sabah Health and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Frankie Poon Ming Fung said the State Health Department had been conducting inspections around the homes of children infected with polio virus to prevent it from spreading.
He said as of December 5, 646 individuals had been examined and none had been diagnosed with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), a proxy for poliomyelitis in the area.
“Investigations to identify the cause of the infection are ongoing including the collection of stool samples for testing from close contacts of children and environmental samples to detect the presence of the virus.
“The provision of additional immunisation in the area where the case has been detected has been made and are being extended to high-risk areas to prevent it from spreading,” he said in a statement here, today.
Poon said the Health Department was also monitoring the presence of polio virus through sewage water samples at six selected plants but no virus had been detected in the samples.
He said local residents were advised to seek treatment immediately if they have acute flaccid paralysis symptoms. — Bernama


In Response to COVID-19:
We will be holding a Zoom informational Sunday, August 30th, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. You can join using this link.
Percussion Studio is committed to the health and safety of its members and patrons. In response to the current pandemic, we are enacting the following changes for the Fall 2020 semester:
For Big Show:
- Our show will be Friday, November 6th in Rudder Auditorium. Given the ever-changing situation, our performance may be moved to an outdoor venue if necessary. Should this occur, advanced notice will be given as soon as possible.
- Protocols will be in place to ensure that audience members are adequately distanced from one another.
For Public Performances:
- Our members will be wearing masks at all times when performing at public venues.
- We are happy to accomodate any requests in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable performance for everyone.
For Auditions:
- All provided equipement will be sanitized after each audition. A five minute gap will be placed between auditions for this purpose.
- While waiting, auditionees may practice on the provided instruments one at a time. We request that you wait elsewhere if you are not up next.
- For the above reasons, "walk-ins" will not be accepted this semester.
For Rehearsals:
- Our members will wear masks at all rehearsals.
- Only one performer may use an instrument at a time (i.e. no ensembles will be performed this semester that require two players to use a marimba simultaneously).
Please check back regularly, as this page will be updated as needed. We wish you well, and thank you for your continued support.

**Air Force One** Reviewed by Jeff Walters
Unlike L.A. Confidential - this movie made an absolute TON of money at the box office. This in itself was very surprising as I've yet to hear anyone but my brother talk about this movie with any great enthusiasm. Airforce One is your standard stock Hollywood Blockbuster....which was disappointing. I did enjoy it to a certain degree as I'm a big Harrison Ford fan, but it just wasn't anything special.
This movie suffers from something that a lot of movies in 1998 have in that in tries to cram too many things into it. Some might say that it is to keep the pace of the film going, but it just got a bit tiresome and the movie felt a lot longer than two hours. It definitely followed the rule of 'more explosions is better'. Unlike a lot of FX movies this year though, Air Force One has a bit of substance to it. The plot, while not so original, is handled more intelligently than many movies of this genre.
Harrison does, as usual, a great job as the lead. Even playing the U.S. President he portrays his typical down to earth/ordinary man character. You did have to 'suspend your disbelief' numerous times during the movie though when the 50+ year old President is duking it out with 25 year old trained terrorists and always coming out without a bruise. My kingdom for a hero who ends up with a black eye!
Gary Oldman did a terrific job as the head terrorist, but the character he was given to work with was really no different to those seen in many other movies of this type. I was not terribly impressed by Glenn Close, but that was mainly because of the character she played. She is made out to be one of the heroes at the end for not signing the motion to take away the President's powers, even though his judgement was clouded. If Harrison hadn't 'saved the day' in the end she would have been responsible for allowing the release of a homicidal madman responsible for 10 000's of deaths in return for the half-dozen people left on the plane at that stage. I personally did not see her decision as something to cheer about no matter what happened at the end.
The highlights? For me the best part was the initial taking of the plane. It was so quick and 'full-on' that it was genuinely startling even though you knew it was coming. The race to get the President into the escape pod was one of the most exciting sequences I've seen in a movie this year. The special effects were much better than I expected, with the exception of the final crash scene which was more than slightly unconvincing.
One of the real faults of this movie was that some important things integral to the plot were left unexplained. Chief among these is the traitor inside the Secret Service detail. Why, after the plane was taken, did he remain with the captives? Why did he wait until the end when all his terrorist comrades were dead before pulling a gun on the President? This made no sense at all.
Looking back, this was an enjoyable movie held together by Ford's typically charismatic performance and some nice FX and action sequences. But as a whole it was not something to write home about. I felt Executive Decision (another plane hijack movie starring Kurt Russell) was a much better movie. Less special effects than this movie, but the suspense was built up extremely well towards the conclusion. Air Force One is one of the better "Die Hard in a {insert location here}" clones, but a clone is what it was. Nothing new here...

Welcome to idpmodem’s documentation!¶
idpmodem¶
Data structure and operations for a SkyWave/ORBCOMM IsatData Pro (IDP) modem using AT commands.
IDP is a store-and-forward satellite messaging technology with messages structured as:
| Service Identifier Number (1 byte SIN) | Payload (up to 6399 bytes MO or 9999 bytes MT) |
Where the first byte of Payload can optionally be defined as a Message Identifier Number (MIN) to facilitate decoding.
- MO = Mobile Originated aka Return aka From-Mobile message sent from modem to cloud application
- MT = Mobile Terminated aka Forward message aka To-Mobile message sent from cloud application to modem
Upon power-up or reset, the modem first acquires its location using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). After getting its location, the modem tunes to the correct frequency, then registers on the network. Prolonged obstruction of satellite signal will put the modem into a “blockage” state from which it will automatically try to recover based on an algorithm influenced by its power mode setting.
Todo
- Reference contextual documentation pages for things like event notifications, low power, etc.
- Internalize threads for typical monitoring processes to callback to registered external functions
-
class
idpmodem.

Here are several phase-space orbits for the Kepler problem:
The Hamiltonian for the Kepler problem, and hence the energy, is
\[ H = \frac{p^2}{2m} + \frac{L^2}{2mr^2} - \frac{k}{r} = E \]The Hamilton equations are
\[ \dot{r} = \frac{p}{m} \hspace{5em} \dot{p} = -\frac{L^2}{mr^3} + \frac{k}{r^2} \]so that the phase space has one critical point at \( \displaystyle \left[ \frac{L^2}{mk}, 0 \right] \), which explains why the orbits are symmetric with respect to the r-axis.
The upper limitation on angular momentum comes from the value for a circular orbit at the greatest negative energy, which is found by setting the eccentricity equal to zero:
\[ e = \sqrt{ 1 + \frac{2EL^2}{mk^2}} \hspace{2em} \rightarrow \hspace{2em} L = \sqrt{ \frac{mk^2}{2(-E)} } \]For the purposes of this visualization, \( m = k = 1 \) suffices. The endpoints of the orbits on the r-axis are where \( p = 0 \).

Yes, another hiring engineers blog post.
I've been on both sides of the interviewing circuit many times. I've moved around in my career and never been afraid to look for new opportunities, and I've been on hiring teams looking to hire new people. It's been written about endlessly before, but there's nothing more infuriating than asking, or being asked, trick questions that don't show the candidate or the team much of anything.
Interviewing, like security and testing, is all about layers. There's no one size fits all question, or even questions. To find truly great candidates is a layered approach consisting of quality screening, code collaboration, discussion, and questions.
A good phone screen can weed out 90% of the candidates who make it through the resume filter. From an interviewers side, its important to be prompt. And when I mean prompt, I mean if you said 3pm you better call at 3pm on the dot.  Showing up 5 minutes late is 5 minutes of the candidate thinking "are they even going to call? whats going on?". At least thats what goes through my mind when I'm interviewing.
From there its good to introduce yourself, the company, and lay out the plan for the next hour. Is it going to be code questions? Screen share? Etc.  Things like "whats a linked list?", "whats a thread do?" are easy for pretty much anyone. At this point if someone is any good they start to ease up since you've softballed the easy stuff. If you do a screen share, doing a simple problem like calculating how much someone owes in taxes if you give them a set of brackets is great. It doesn't require fancy magic, it can be solved in any language using primitive constructs: for loop, classes, the plus sign. No crazy gotcha's. That said, a good candindate will talk through a lot of things that aren't even required for the problem. Things to listen for are are they asking questions, are they explaining their decisions, are they having fun with it?
It's just as important to sell yourself to the candidate as it is for them to you. Not paying attention, or not asking your own followup questions is a sign to the candidate that you don't care and their company doesn't care.

GUN CRAZY A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1993 James Berardinelli
Running Length: 1:36 Rated: R (Violence, language, sexual situations, mature themes)
Starring: Drew Barrymore, James LeGros, Billy Drago, Joe Dallesandro, Michael Ironside, Ione Skye Director: Tamra Davis Producers: Zane W. Levitt and Diane Firestone Screenplay: Matthew Bright Music: Ed Tomney Released by First Look Pictures
Anita (Drew Barrymore) is on the fast track to nowhere, staring her own self-destruction in the face.  She finds it through Howard (James LeGros), an ex-convict that she becomes pen-pals with. After his release from prison, the two get together and find that their bond goes deeper than a mutual love of guns.
GUN CRAZY, while sharing the title and some of the themes of the 1949 Joseph H. Lewis film that inspired it, is less a remake than a re-interpretation. The mood and tone remain constant, but the characters and their relationships have been modernized.
Distilled to its essence, GUN CRAZY is a love story. Admittedly, this isn't the kind of nice, romantic film that the audience can sit through content to know that everything will turn out all right in the end. Equally, the formulas of the traditional romance are out the window. GUN CRAZY is unapologetically bizarre in its treatment of the relationship between Anita and Howard. In some ways, it's reminiscent of what exists between Lula and Sailor in David Lynch's WILD AT HEART.
The biggest negative about GUN CRAZY is a tendency toward self-parody. There are several instances during the movie when circumstances become too outlandish to be believed. A case in point is that of a church service held by Hank (Billy Drago) that goes far beyond the usual interpretation of a revivalist religious ceremony. Even the most ridiculous elements of this over-the-top scene have been left intact in the final print of the movie.
This film is not particularly concerned about getting all the details right, either. Some of the events of GUN CRAZY stretch the limits of credibility. While few of these slips are glaring, it will be apparent even to a casual viewer that the script is not air-tight.
The most fascinating element of GUN CRAZY is how it develops the character of Anita. The casting of Drew Barrymore in the role might at first seem odd, but she does an excellent job playing an affection-starved youth. For Anita, sex is something she uses in a fruitless effort to be liked. Her mother has abandoned her and her mother's boyfriend, with whom she lives, cares about her only when he needs a woman. That she happens to fall in love with Howard is a quirk of fate. She would have fallen in love with anyone - he just happens to be in the right place at the right time.
Anita initially learns to fire a gun so that she will have something in common with Howard when he gets out of prison. Later, the particular gun that she learns with, and guns in general, take on greater significance.  As Anita puts it, sex was never anything special to her, but firing guns is. She'd rather shoot with Howard than sleep with him.
At first glance, GUN CRAZY might appear to be a shallow exploitation film, complete with low budget and little-known actors. That it was shown on Showtime before getting theatrical release serves only to further tarnish its image. However, beneath the surface, this movie has surprisingly deep currents, with characters and relationships that are complex. GUN CRAZY certainly isn't for everyone, but anyone who has a taste for twisted love stories will find something here to savor.

Firefly
SUMMARY
Firefly is a sample
filter driver written with a purpose to demonstrate the following:
- Programming a HID device via kernel-mode IOCTLs
- Opening a HID collection of a
target device in kernel-mode by using ZwCreateFile.
- Using IOCTL_HID_xxx
requests to obtain the HID collection's preparsed
data and information.
- Calling HidP_Xxx
HID support routines to interpret HID reports.
- Using IOCTL_HID_SET_xxx
or IOCTL_HID_GET_xxx to set or get feature
reports.
- Providing a WMI interface to have a sideband
communication with the usermode app.
- Writing an INF file to install a device fiter driver on an existing HID device.
- Showing how to open a WMI class in usermode and get or set data items using COM
interfaces.
Introduction to firefly sample
Firefly sample is installed as an
upper filter driver of Microsoft USB Intellimouse
Optical. An application provided with the sample can cause the light of the
optical mouse to blink by sending commands to the filter driver using WMI
interface. This sample driver works on Microsoft USB IntelliMouse Explorer 1.0A
(Vid_045e&Pid_001E) and Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical (Vid_045e&Pid_0040)
devices. The sample consists of:
Driver (firefly.sys):
It's an upper device filter driver of mouse (mouhid.sys).
This is a generic filter driver based on toaster filter driver sample available
in this DDK. During start device, the driver registers a WMI class (FireflyDeviceInformation). The usermode
application connects to WMI namespace (root\wmi) and
opens this class using COM interfaces and makes call to set or get dataitem value (TailLit) of this
class. In response to set WMI request, driver opens the HID collection using ZwCreateFile and calls IOCTL_HID_GET_COLLECTION_INFORMATION
& IOCTL_HID_GET_COLLECTION_DESCRIPTOR to get the preparsed
data. It then calls HidP_GetCaps using the preparsed data to get the capabilities of the device. After
getting the capabilities of the device, the driver creates a feature report to
set or clear the feature that causes the light to toggle.
Library (luminous.lib):
All the interfaces required to access the WMI is defined in this library and
exposed as CLuminous class.
Application (flicker.exe): The application
links to luminous lib to open the WMI interfaces and send set request to toggle
the light.
Sauron (sauron.dll): This is a windows media player visualization DLL. This DLL is
created based on a sample from the Windows Media player SDK kit. By using this
DLL, you can cause the mouse lights to blink to the beats of the music. Fun stuff to try out.
BUILDING THE SAMPLE
To build the sample
driver and test applications, you must first set up the DDK environment on your
host machine. The “Installation and Release Notes” in the Windows
2000/XP/Server 2003 DDK has a complete description on how to do this.
- Once the build environment is set up, run the build –ceZ command in the firefly directory. This will build
the luminous.lib, firefly.sys,
flicker.exe, and sauron.dll and place all these
bits under the appropriate target build and platform specific sub
directories of firefly/disk directory. For example if you build in the x86
checked Windows Server 2003 build environment, all the files will be
placed under the firefly\disk\chk_wnet_x86\i386 directory. The target
directory path for these files is controlled by the TARGETPATH variable
specified in the common project file called project.mk.
- Copy the .sys, .exe and the INF file (firefly.inf) to a floppy disk or a temporary directory
on the target system. Make sure the SYS file is copied under appropriate subdirectory (i386, ia64, amd64).
INSTALLING THE SAMPLE
To install the driver on
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003:
- Get Microsoft's USB Optical mouse and plug that into
your target machine and make sure the mouse works. The drivers
for this mouse comes with the operating system so the device will
start working automatically when you plug in.
- Copy the firefly.sys and
the INF file (firefly.inf) to a floppy disk or a
temporary directory on the target system.
- Bring up the device manager (type devmgmt.msc
in the Start/Run window and press enter).
- Find the Microsoft Optical mouse under "Mice and
other pointing devices"
- Right click on the device and choose "Update
Driver..."
- Select the "Install from a list of specific
location (Advanced)", and click Next.
- Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver
to Install" and click Next.
- Click on "Have Disk..." and specify the
floppy or temporary directory where the INF and the sys files are present.
- The system will show "Shiny Things Firefly
mouse" in the list of compatible hardware. Choose that and click Next.
- You will get a warning about installing a driver that
the system cannot verify whether it's compatible with your hardware.
Ignore that and say Yes to installing the driver.
- The system will go ahead and install the driver. At
this point, you will get a warning dialog about installing an unsigned
driver. Ignore that and click on "Continue Anyway" button.
- The system will copy all the files and restart the
mouse device to install the upper filter. Click on Finish button and you
are ready to run the test app.
To
install the driver on Windows 2000:
- Find the mouse device in the Device manager. On
Windows 2000, this device might come up as a "HID compliant
mouse" under "Mice and other pointing devices".
- Double click on the device to bring up the properties
dialog.
- Go to the Driver Tab and click on "Update
Driver..." button. Click Next.
- Select "Display a list of the known
driver..." option and click Next.
- Click on "Have Disk..." and specify the
floppy or temporary directory where the INF and the sys files are present.
- Click Next. You will get warning about installing an
unsigned driver. Click on Yes to continue the driver installation.
- The system will copy all the files and restart the
mouse device to install the upper filter. Click on Finish and close the
Device manager property dialog. You are ready to run the test app.
TESTING THE SAMPLE
Copy the flicker.exe to
the target machine and run it from command line. The usage is:

Susan Granger's review of "THREE KINGS" (Warner Brothers)
'Remember "Catch 22" and "M*A*S*H*" - those black comedies that captured the surrealist insanity of W.W.II and the Korean War? That's what David O. Russell attempts in this astute blend of action/adventure, drama, humor, and scathing political commentary. George Clooney stars as a cynical career soldier - an American Special Forces Captain - who's ready to retire. In March of 1991, he and his cohorts (Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, Spike Jonze) are ready to return home from the Gulf War when they unexpectedly come into possession of a map that indicates the location of a stash of Kuwaiti gold bullion stolen by the Iraqi army. "Saddam stole it from the sheiks," Clooney says, "and I have no problem stealing it from Saddam." They take off at dawn, planning to return by noon. But it's not that easy, particularly with a feisty war correspondent (Nora Dunn) snooping around. There's chaos, confusion, and carnage - but don't expect any stupendous battle scenes. Encounters with the "enemy" are primarily skirmishes as Iraqi rebels, encouraged by George Bush's exhortations to overthrow Saddam Hussein, courageously fight the brutal Republican Guard, only to discover that the politically expedient cease-fire has made the Americans unwilling to offer humanitarian aid to the civilians caught in the turmoil. "We're fighting Saddam and dying - and you're stealing gold," one angry rebel astutely observes, igniting a moral dilemma for the greedy treasure-hunters who are cornered into doing the right thing. On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Three Kings" is a suspenseful 8, raising serious questions about the morality of the United States position on military intervention and putting a human face on the atrocities of war.

Unit 13 is hard. Especially if you are playing solo. Maybe not so much if you play with a friend but even then expect to die often in the game. The premise of the game is simple.  In this third person over the shoulder shooter, you disintegrate the terrorists bit by bit as you complete objectives. 45 in total. 36 normal missions and 9 special missions which the game calls High Value targets (sort of like boss battles). The missions are divided into following categories
Direct Action : These missions are to be completed in one go. There are no checkpoints. Go in and capture the enemy stronghold.
Covert : In these missions it is imperative that that you finish the business unseen. This means no tripping laser alarms or getting detected by cameras or spotted by guards. Failing to do so will lead to an instant failure. Highly constrained but incredibly fun.
Timed : These missions require prompt action. The objective must be completed within the time limit so it is usually a good idea to avoid confrontation, complete the task and get out. Time is reset or extended if you hit a checkpoint.
Elite: The health does not regenerate in these missions so it is best if you choose a character that can sustain a heavy damage. Though it is replenished every time you hit a checkpoint.
It is very important that you choose the right operative for every mission. The game recommends the best choice for each type of mission but you may want to change it depending on your play style. I always went with the guys that had superior killing ability. Alabama had a long range one shot kill. Python had a big knife with which he could sneak up to and kill two enemies with one swing.
Initially all of your operatives start with level 0, at this point their equipment and bonus multipliers etc are tied with them. As you progress through the game they level up and pass on their equipment and multipliers to others. For instance leveling up Ringo can increase the headshot attack multiplier where as Python gives you a closed range attack bonus. These bonuses in turn help you level up your character faster. Much more important than bonuses however are the weapons. For instance if you level up python far enough you can unlock the silencer mod which can be used by Alabama (or any one else for that matter) to silence his sniper transforming him into a silent killing machine. All operatives have a maximum level cap of 10.
It is important to note that although the game has some rpg elements there is no griding involved. You could clear the game on level 0 if you chose to. Though investing time in a character and building him according to your taste pays well.
If you are playing solo HUD map is your best friend. It gives a huge tactical advantage by laying out the position of the enemies on the screen. When marked white it means that the enemies are un-aware of your presence. When yellow it means that they have sensed that something is wrong. When red, they are on to you so either kill them or retreat to a safer location.
There are 9 locations in total. It may seem to be a small number but the stages are huge. You are incrementally introduced to an entire level. That is the missions that you get are usually limited to a portion of the entire level. As you progress through the game the missions get longer and you get to explore the levels in full. I really liked this approach as it kept the things fresh and let me discover many shortcuts and different routes to progress through the stages rather than overwhelming me with one giant map.
Recognizing the best route for your operative is very important. It would be unwise for a ranged operative to go head first into the enemy strong hold. Similarly a heavily armed operative is not too good at sneaking but he can take out large groups of enemies quickly. These tactical choices make the missions in Unit 13 very engaging. If you are stuck with a certain operative in a mission changing your approach to the objective or even choosing a different operative can make it seem easy.
Except for high value targets all of the missions in unit 13 can be played in co op. This is where the game truly shines. Figuring out the strategy to beat an objective with a buddy can be very fulfilling. Since there are two of you it opens up the possibility of trying out various combinations of operatives. A long ranged sniper with a a closed ranged heavy duty shotgun operative or dual mini gun mayhem it's up to you. There is no lag even over the internet and the game runs silky smooth like it does on single player.
One final mission type is the Daily Challenge in which you are given an objective and you have to score as much points as you can. At he end of the day you results are compared against everyone the participated in the mission and your worldwide rank is calculated. Some of the players are incredibly talented so it will take a lot of skill to beat them. It is pretty neat and gives you a reason to keep playing the game.
Unit 13 comes as an easy recommendation from me to any one who is looking for a no frills action packed shooter. The game does not tie you down with a narrative or hampers you by providing only one way to go about your objectives. Instead it gives you lots of options to choose from and then gets out of the way. In addition to this Unit 13 is possibly the best co-op experience on the vita and one of the best co-op games that I have played since Gears of war. It is unfortunate that this was the last Zipper game. But Unit 13 is one hell of a way to go out.
