MERCURY RISING
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING: *1/2 OUT OF ****
United States, 1998 U.S. Release Date: 4/3/98 (wide) Running Length: 1:52 MPAA Classification: R (Extreme and frequent profanity, frequent violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, Miko Hughes, Chi McBride, Kim Dickens Director: Harold Becker Producers: Brian Grazer, Karen Kehela Screenplay: Lawrence Konner, Mark Rosenthal based on the novel SIMPLE SIMON by Ryne Pearson Cinematography: Michael Seresin Music: John Barry U.S. Distributor: Universal Pictures
The film may be called MERCURY RISING, but that title doesn't describe the trajectory taken by this motion picture, a routine thriller that combines government cover-ups with a cloying and poorly-motivated buddy story. The "hook" that is supposed to make MERCURY RISING unique is that the young protagonist is autistic. However, aside from giving actor Miko Hughes a chance to win raves for his performance, this particular aspect of the film comes across as nothing more than a convenient plot device. Those expecting to see even a semi-thorough exploration of the condition will be disappointed. MERCURY RISING treats autism with the same degree of efficiency that many action thrillers accord to alcoholism.
The script for MERCURY RISING is exceptionally tiresome and hard- to-swallow. I don't know whether the problem is in the original book, SIMPLE SIMON, or in the screenplay adaptation, but this movie easily exceeds the intangible threshold beyond which a suspension of disbelief is no longer possible. Once again, certain standby plot elements -- the high-level government conspiracy and the maverick law enforcement agent -- are recycled, and not to good effect.
The story begins with a formulaic sequence in which The Tough FBI Agent with a Heart of Gold, Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis), is confronted with his own failure. Unable to resolve a hostage crisis in time, he is forced to observe as two teenagers are shot to death. The event weighs heavily on his conscience and heavy-handedly establishes his motivation for protecting 9-year old Simon Lynch (Miko Hughes) when he discovers the autistic child hiding in a closet after his parents have been gunned down by The Evil Hit Man Who Looks Like an Ex-Football Player. Soon, Art and Simon are on the run from seemingly everyone -- fleeing for their lives and bonding at the same time, with The Evil Hit Man Who Looks Like an Ex-Football Player always just a step behind them. Along the way, they are helped by The Best Friend Who Defies Orders to Help Out His Buddy (Chi McBride) and the Supporting Female Who May or May Not Become a Love Interest (Kim Dickens).
Why is Simon in danger and why were his parents turned into Swiss cheese by The Evil Hit Man Who Looks Like an Ex-Football Player? Apparently, the government has spent millions of dollars developing an ultra-secret code called "Mercury." To make sure it can't be cracked, they do the most intuitive thing possible: place a sample of it in a "nerds' puzzle magazine." Of course, no one can solve it -- no one except autistic Simon, that is. When he calls the phone number listed in the solution, he gets the NSA. As a result, The Cold-Hearted, Sneering Government Man (Alec Baldwin) decides that Simon has to be eliminated -- for the good of the country, of course. But he hasn't counted on The Tough FBI Agent with a Heart of Gold, even though everyone in the audience has.
It's hard to get worked up about a routine thriller that doesn't do anything exceptionally well, and does quite a few things rather poorly. For those who are desperate to find elements of this movie to like, MERCURY RISING manages to manufacture tension from time-to-time, but even the most exciting scenes (such as the one where Art and Simon are crouched down, avoiding passing trains) aren't that pulse-pounding. The climactic struggle is a real ho-hum affair which leads to a finale that is painful in its obviousness. Overall, director Harold Becker is constantly struggling (and failing) to generate even a moment that isn't derivative or obligatory.
Bruce Willis' star seems to be fading. This is his fourth straight lackluster outing, following LAST MAN STANDING, THE FIFTH ELEMENT, and THE JACKAL. Willis isn't terrible, but this is the kind of role he can sleepwalk through, and often does. Alec Baldwin, combining elements of his characters from GLENGARRY GLENN ROSS and MALICE, does some scenery- chewing, but his performance is surprisingly lacking in menace. The film's real star is young Miko Hughes (Heather Langenkamp's son in WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE), who does as good a job as Dustin Hoffman playing an autistic individual, but is about 50 years younger.
MERCURY RISING joins the likes of HARD RAIN, THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, and U.S. MARSHALS on the heap of pallid 1998 thrillers. For those who like action and adventure in the theater, this has not been a good year. Hopefully, the advent of summer will change that. Until then, the best choices (for Bruce Willis or any other action hero) are on video. And, if you're determined to see Mercury rising, check out the morning sky in early May.

In this course we'll use Jupyter notebooks hosted online in Google's Colab. The benefits are:
*Using Colab requires a free Google account.
In a Jupyter Notebook you write text and code. Text is written in a syntax known as Markdown. The code we'll write in Python. Python is not mandatory, however. You can create a notebook with the ability to write the code in other languages such as R or Julia.
Markdown is an easy to learn syntax that gets converted to HTML.
Cloud-based Jupyter notebooks are also available on other platforms such as:
You are now. Your Colab notebook is running on a Linux virtual machine.

Toronto Maple Leafs Surprise Superfan Suffering From Lewy Dody Disease With Tickets To Home Game
by Aynslee DarmonToronto Maple Leafs celebrate a lifelong fan.
To honour #WorldKindnessDay, the NHL shared a video of their sweet surprise for Ron Ruckstuhl, 52, who was diagnosed with Lewy Dody disease three years ago.
With only five to seven years to live, Ruckstuhl’s son, Joshuah, sent a tweet to retired NHLer Paul Bissonnette hoping to catch his attention – and it worked. As part of the “NHL First Timer” video series, the league surprised Ruckstuhl at his house and took him and sons Joshuah and Ryan to a game where the Leafs faced off against Los Angeles.
“I’ve waited 52 years for something like this,” Ron said in the clip.
While Joshuah added, “I’d never seen my dad smile and laugh (like that)… For a little bit, you didn’t realize he was sick.
NHL chief content officer Steve Mayer said it was an honour to celebrate such a dedicated fan.
“This is what it’s all about,” he said. “To be able to put joy in somebody’s life like Ron’s and to be able to show his story to the world is quite an honour and it makes me proud to be a part of the NHL.”

security disclosure threatened by lawsuits
Legal threat stops flaw info release - Computerworld
Well this isn't a good thing for security research in my opinion. Whilst I don't always think that security companies getting press by releasing exploits is a good thing, it is one of the main ways that software companies seem to be put under pressure to improve the security of their software.
Ideally companies would always be proactive about improving the security of their systems, but in the real world other things tend to take precedence, unless it's made a priority for them by external people, either security researchers pointing out flaws, or "black hats" exploiting their software...
Arguably if Microsoft hadn't developed such a bad reputation for security a couple of years ago, we wouldn't have seen all the excellent initiative their producing now.....

This library provides a simple switch debounce function. . Quite often, when monitoring the state of a mechanical switch, it is necessary to take switch bounce into consideration. Rather than going straight from one stable state to another, it can take a significant period during which the contacts of the switch bounce together. If you don't take this into consideration then, rather than receiving a single pulse, your sofware can end up seeing a sequence of many pulses. . In an ideal world without switch bounce, perhaps you'd like to have the following: . forever loop if (pin_a0 == true) then -- do some stuff end if -- do some other stuff end loop . This library tries to make it possible to do this while handling switch bounce for you. At its simplest, you could do the following: . var word state = debounce_init(200) forever loop if (debounce(pin_a0, state) == 1) then -- do some stuff end if -- do some other stuff end loop . In the example above, the lowest bit returned by the debounce function will only flip after pin_a0's state has been polled in a stable state 200 times in a row. Choosing the threshold (200 in this case) is probably matter of trial and error - it'll depend on the characteristics of the switch you're using and how quickly your polling loop runs. . You must allocate a word to hold the bounce state, threshold and counter, and initialise it using debounce_init (as above). The maximum threshold value you can specify is 255, and the value is only stored with a resolution of 6 bits. All threshold values are ORed with 0b11, so specifying a threshold value of 9, for example, will give an actual threshold value of 11. This may sound a bit odd, but it's so the bottom 2 bits of the status word can be stolen and used for storing internal state. The actual counter uses the full 8 bits. . The debounce function also returns a second bit, which is set only when the returned state has just changed. This is useful if you want something to happen just once when a button is pressed, for example. . if (debounce(pin_a0, state) == 3) then -- do some stuff end if . The returned values are as follows then: . 0b00 = 0 - Input is stable at 0 and has not just changed 0b01 = 1 - Input is stable at 1 and has not just changed 0b10 = 2 - Input is stable at 0 and has just changed from 1 0b11 = 3 - Input it stable at 1 and has just changed from 0 . Here is a full list of all functions: . function debounce_init(byte in threshold) return word . This is used to initialise a state variable ready for use. threshold is the number of calls after which the debounce function should consider a new state stable. . function debounce(bit in polled, word in out state) return byte . This is the main function - I'm not going to go into detail here as it's described above. . function debounce_fast(bit in polled, word in out state) return byte . You may have noticed that debounce() imposes a lag while it decides whether the new state is stable. If it's critical that you respond immediately to a state change, you can use debounce_fast instead. This one is used in exactly the same way as debounce(), but rather than waiting for a stable state, it assumes that a changed state is going to stabilise to that changed state. So it flips its return value immediately on detecting a state change. Then, it embargoes further state changes until the threshold period has passed. . The downside of this is that if your input data sometimes receives spurious short pulses that you'd like to ignore, debounce_fast will act on them, turning them into longer pulses. . function debounce_state(word in state) return byte . This returns the last value that was returned by debounce for this state variable. . function debounce_just_changed(word in state) return bit . This returns the last "just changed" flag that was returned by debounce for this state variable. . function debounce_stable_state(word in state) return bit . This returns the last stable state that was returned by debounce for this state variable. . function debounce_threshold(word in state) return byte is . This returns the threshold value that's in use in this state variable.

Brewer invests €1.4M in renewable energy production
by TPN/LusaPortugal's Central de Cervejas (SCC) brewing company announced on Tuesday that it has invested €1.4 million in the installation of 6,300 photovoltaic panels at its Vialonga brewery and in the of Água de Luso bottle filling plant in Mealhada.
According to the information published in a statement, the group installed "3,150 panels at its Vialonga plant and 3,150 at the Água de Luso filling plant in Mealhada, with an installed capacity of one megawatt peak (MWp) at each unit, which represented a global investment of €1.4 million".
This project is part of the company's sustainability programme and aims to produce 2,845 megawatt hours of solar energy a year and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by about 1,200 tonnes a year, "the equivalent to the annual capture of CO2 by 53,000 trees," the company explained.
The director of Communication and Institutional Relations of SCC, Nuno Pinto de Magalhães, said "the reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions involves a focus on renewable energy, but also with indicators defined in this regard for the area of distribution, refrigeration equipment and packaging.
SCC also stressed that in the last five years, the investment in modernisation and growth projects in Vialonga, Água de Luso and in Novadis distribution has already exceeded €140 million.


10 years since CS degree and today I am officially back to the school bench again! Okay-okay, have not counted 6 years as a Ph.D. student. So that makes 4 years outside of the academic field. Not really: minus 1 year as a post-doc. So finally 3 years of life in the private business domain was like a short break. And here I am back again.
My first day at ETH as a further education student (CAS). Visited two courses:
- Data Mining: Learning from Large data sets
A practical course where one seems to start immediately with the modern ML toolkit methods and then slowly learn why and where the methods can be used. - Machine Learning
A theory to practice course where one starts with the theoretical and even philosophical foundations of ML and then slowly apply the theory with the practical exercises.
Looking forward to learning more about Machine Learning!


 You never went to find a life.
There you are! There is nothing to fear but fear itseIf!
No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an idel and if they can't stop you then you become something else entirely.
But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief until the memory of your loved one is just poison in your veins.
All creatures feel fear. Especially the scary ones.
Bane was a member of the League of Shadows. And then he was excommunicated. And any man who is too extreme for Ra's Al Ghul, is not to be trifled with.
We're always changing. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. My character seems to think that he is, so he would define it. I think the one thing I love most about being an adult is the right to buy candy whenever and wherever I want. Then, telling Derek Cianfrance that I'd ever I could rob a bank I'd do it on my motorcycle, and he said 'That's weird, I just wrote a script about that'.

Collaborative Research Activities
Since 1995 Takle Gutowski, and Arritt have served as Co-Directors of the Regional Climate Modeling Laboratory at ISU (http://rcmlab.agron.iastate.edu/). This laboratory initiated and directed the Project for Intercomparison of Regional Climate Simulations (PIRCS) (see Takle et al., 1999) which engaged an international team of 18 regional climate modeling groups in intercomparison experiments for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of regional climate models. The RCM Lab now has a central role in the interagency North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (http://www.narccap.ucar.edu/) , which is creating climate change scenarios at regional scale for North America for follow-on impacts assessment studies.
From 2004-2006 Professor Takle served as Chair of the Transferability Working Group of GEWEX/GHP (http://rcmlab.agron.iastate.edu/twg/history.html), which had a central role in a set of transferability experiments conducted by an international team that led to a BAMS paper describing, with an example, transferability experiments as the next phase of regional climate research beyond intercomparison studies.
Outreach Activities
Professor Takle has lectured widely in Iowa and throughout the Midwest (see Public Presentations: http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/faculty/takle/) on climate change and has taught a course on global change since 1990 with an online component (http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/gccourse/) since 1995 that has served other universities and science writers world-wide. He has provided advice and testimony on weather, climate, and climate change to state agencies, Iowa legislature, the natural gas industry, Illinois Commerce Commission, Attorney General’s office of the State of Washington, public interest groups, and the electric utility industry.

Welcome to GC-PayScales
This application is an API for Government of Canada pay/salary scales for classifications and levels. The intent is to have a central, easy to access and use resource for accurate pay information. This will reduce duplication and potential errors across organizations and serve as an example of how APIs can support day-to-day business in government.
You can explore and experiment with the API here: https://gc-payscales.herokuapp.com/playground
A sample query looks like this:
query AnniversaryQuery {
group(identifier: EC) {
payscaleForLevel(level:4) {
steps
}
identifier
payAtLevelByAnniversaryDateBetweenDates(
level: 4,
anniversaryDate: "2017-02-08",
startDate: "2018-01-01",
endDate: "2020-06-30"
){
step
startDate
endDate
workDays
workHours
hourlyRate
annualRate
salary
}
}
}
If you'd like to test the API, you can upload a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file in the following format:
| last_name | first_name | group | level | anniversary_date | start_date | end_date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beta | Beatrice | EC | 4 | 2018-06-08 | 2019-01-20 | 2020-01-20 |
| Delta | Delphine | FB | 6 | 2018-06-08 | 2019-01-20 | 2020-01-20 |
| Epsilon | Edgar | CS | 2 | 2018-06-08 | 2019-01-20 | 2020-01-20 |
| Gamma | Geralt | PM | 4 | 2018-06-08 | 2019-01-20 | 2020-01-20 |
The queries may take some time depending on the size of CSV uploaded.
The site will take your spreadsheet, call the API and generate a new CSV file with your results. You can then download or open the file to see the results.
The resulting document will break up pay by agreement in force at the time and have the following new columns:
- pay_step
- work_hours
- work_days
- hourly_rate
- annual_rate
- salary

Class TargetContainer
Root container for ITargets that can be used as the backing for the standard IContainer classes - Container and ScopedContainer.
Stores and retrieves registrations of ITargets, is also Generic type aware, unlike its base class - TargetDictionaryContainer.
Inherited Members
Namespace:Rezolver
Assembly:Rezolver.dll
Syntax
public class TargetContainer : TargetDictionaryContainer, ITargetContainerOwner, ITargetContainer
Remarks
This is the type used by default for the Targets of all the standard containers in the core framework, e.g. Container, ScopedContainer etc, when you don't supply an instance of an ITargetContainer explicitly on construction.
Constructors
| Improve this Doc View SourceTargetContainer(Boolean)
Constructs a new instance of the TargetContainer class
Declaration
public TargetContainer(bool autoRezolveIEnumerable = true)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boolean | autoRezolveIEnumerable | If true, then IEnumerable<T> will be automatically resolved as a concatenation of all the ITargets that are registered against a particular type. Note - this parameter might be removed in a future version - you can achieve the same thing by using the extension method EnableEnumerableResolving(ITargetContainerOwner) |
Methods
| Improve this Doc View SourceCreateContainer(Type, ITarget)
Called to create and register a container for the given serviceType and target.
This class overrides the base version (CreateContainer(Type, ITarget)) to create a specialised container for generic types (GenericTargetContainer) if serviceType if a generic type or generic type definition.
Declaration
protected override ITargetContainer CreateContainer(Type serviceType, ITarget target)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | serviceType | The type for which a container is to be created and registered. |
| ITarget | target | Optional. The target that will be added to the container that is returned. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ITargetContainer | An ITargetContainer in which the passed target will be registered. |
Overrides
Remarks
The main caller for this method will be the base Register method, which will create a new container for a target that's being registered against a new type.
It is, however, also called by this class' implementation of RegisterContainer(Type, ITargetContainer) when the type is a generic type - as all generics must have a container registered against their generic type definitions as a starting point.
CreateGenericTypeDefContainer(Type, ITarget)
Called by CreateContainer(Type, ITarget) to create a container suitable for handling targets that are registered against generic types.
Declaration
protected virtual ITargetContainer CreateGenericTypeDefContainer(Type genericTypeDefinition, ITarget target)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | genericTypeDefinition | Will be an open generic type (generic type definition) |
| ITarget | target | Optional. The initial target for which the container is being constructed |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ITargetContainer | The base implementation always creates an instance of CreateGenericTypeDefContainer(Type, ITarget) |
FetchContainer(Type)
Retrieves
Declaration
public override ITargetContainer FetchContainer(Type type)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | type |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| ITargetContainer |
Overrides
| Improve this Doc View SourceRegister(ITarget, Type)
Overrides the base method to block registration if the target does not support the serviceType (checked by calling the target's SupportsType(Type) method).
Declaration
public override void Register(ITarget target, Type serviceType = null)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ITarget | target | The target to be registered. |
| Type | serviceType | Optional - the type against which the target is to be registered, if different from the target's DeclaredType. |
Overrides
| Improve this Doc View SourceRegisterContainer(Type, ITargetContainer)
Overrides the base method so that if type is a generic type, then the container will be registered inside another which will be registered for the generic type definition first.
Declaration
public override void RegisterContainer(Type type, ITargetContainer container)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | type | |
| ITargetContainer | container |
Overrides
| Improve this Doc View SourceRegisterContainerDirect(Type, ITargetContainer)
Version of RegisterContainer(Type, ITargetContainer) which does not interrogate the type to see if it's generic - simply registers the passed container directly against the passed type (it just chains through directly to the RegisterContainer(Type, ITargetContainer) method non-virtually.
Declaration
protected virtual void RegisterContainerDirect(Type type, ITargetContainer container)
Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | type | |
| ITargetContainer | container |
