Several civilians killed in eastern DRC by rebel fighters
Allied Democratic Forces behind the massacre of at least 15 people in eastern DR Congo, local officials say.
Suspected rebel fighters killed at least 15 people overnight in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, local officials said on Saturday, in the latest massacre since the country's army launched a major offensive in the region last month.
DRC's army initiated its latest campaign, with support from United Nations peacekeepers, on October 30 to root out fighters from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) from the dense forests near the Ugandan border.
More:
As was the case during previous military operations against the ADF, its fighters have retaliated by attacking civilians, killing more than 40 since last week, according to the local civil society activists.
Attacks blamed by the government on the ADF have killed hundreds of civilians since 2014.
The attacks on Friday in and around the village of Mbau were carried out with bladed weapons, local officials said. Among the eight victims in Mbau were six members of a single family.
Seven members of a Pygmy ethnic group living in the nearby forest were also killed, officials said. Their bodies were found tied up and their throats had been slit.
"The rebels are attacking civilians in order to spread confusion and panic among the population," said Donat Kibwana, the regional administrator in the nearby city of Beni.
Mbau residents said it had taken many hours for soldiers based nearby to respond, a common complaint after attacks in the area.
Army officials were not immediately available for comment.
Researchers and rights groups say some DRC soldiers and other rebel groups have also participated in massacres since 2014 for a variety of motives often related to competition for power in lawless zones dominated by dozens of militia groups.
Several of the previous attacks by the ADF, which was founded in Uganda in 1995, have been claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) armed group, but the extent of their relationship remains unclear. The ADF is not known to have publicly pledged loyalty to ISIL.

[gecode-users] int vs. unsigned int for Matrix dimensions
Gregory Crosswhite
gcross at phys.washington.edu
Mon Jan 17 00:36:22 CET 2011
Part of the reason I am asking how to talk to the developers,
by-the-way, is because I was thinking it might be useful for the
arrays/argument arrays to have an iterator interface added to them, to
make it easier to do things like applying generics algorithms to them
and traversing them using the c++0x "for each" statement as well as
BOOST_FOREACH. Would there be any interest in a contribution to Gecode
to provide this? The supporting code that I had in mind would include
new classes for the iterators and new methods .begin() and .end() for
the arrays.
Cheers,
Greg

Please read it.
Soldering
Step 1: Tin the tip
Step 2: Apply heat
Step 3: Let the solder flow
Keep the tip clean
Use your damp (not soaking) sponge.
Keep the tip tinned
Apply solder
Shinny is good
Dull means it will crack.
Be aware that soldering
- gets hot
- uses lead-based material
- sometimes splatters

Hello! This project would not have been possible without free and open data from some great projects.
I used Twitter for the trend which was more difficult than it should have been. I encourage Twitter to begin using OAuth2 for user authentications. You can check out a thread here that was started almost 4 years ago (at the time of writing) asking about this functionality.The data is free but requires a significant authorization and a custom written proxy to make the handshake. It seems due to the sheer traffic Twitter experiences they have been forced to make some tough descisions. I do find this metric facinating as a social study.
The quantum number is is sourced through a brilliant project you can find here. The ANU Quantum Random Number Generator uses quantum fluctuations inside a vacuum to generate random numbers. The number you find in this project each time you generate results is truly random. Some of you may know this is a hard thing to come by. You can even incorporate this data to modify the entropy of other projects.
The currency valuations are sourced from an open API provided by Coinabul. They are generated on the fly and are another facinating thing to watch change.
The earthquake data is sourced from the USGS. The data shown in this project is from the most recent earthquake in the last hour measuring any magnitude. Baby earthquakes happen all the time!
The moon phase is sourced from the Old Farmers Almanac.
The current headline is sourced from Google News and like a few of the other feeds, is pulled using the Google Feed API.
If you have any other questions feel free to get in touch.

Sentence Representations
-
What?:
Sentence Representation/Embedding Learning is focused on producing one feature vector to represent a sentence in a latent (semantic) space, while preserving linear properties (distances, angles).
- Tasks:
- Sentence Classification
- Paraphrase Identification
- Semantic Similarity
- Textual Entailment (i.e. Natural Language Inference)
- Retrieval
-
Methods:
Multi-Task Learning:
In particular, people do Pre-Training on other tasks, and then use the pre-trained weights and fine-tune them on a new task. - End-To-End VS Pre-Training:
We can always use End-To-End objectives, however, there are two problems that arise, and can be mitigated by pre-training:- Paucity of Training Data
- Weak Feedback from end of sentence only for text classification (explain?)
Training Sentence Representations
- Language Model Transfer (Dai and Le 2015):
- Model: LSTM
- Objective: Language modeling objective
- Data: Classification data itself, or Amazon reviews
- Downstream: On text classification, initialize weights and continue training
- Unidirectional Training + Transformer - OpenAI GPT (Radford et al. 2018):
- Model: Masked self-attention
- Objective: Predict the next word left->right
- Data: BooksCorpus
- Downstream: Some task fine-tuning, other tasks additional multi-sentence training
- Auto-encoder Transfer (Dai and Le 2015):
- Model: LSTM
- Objective: From single sentence vector, reconstruct the sentence
- Data: Classification data itself, or Amazon reviews
- Downstream: On text classification, initialize weights and continue training
- Context Prediction Transfer - SkipThought Vectors (Kiros et al. 2015):
- Model: LSTM
- Objective: Predict the surrounding sentences
- Data: Books, important because of context
- Downstream: Train logistic regression on \([\|u-v\|; u * v]\) (component-wise)
- Paraphrase ID Transfer (Wieting et al. 2015):
- Model: Try many different ones
- Objective: Predict whether two phrases are paraphrases or not from
- Data: Paraphrase database (http://paraphrase.org), created from bilingual data
- Large Scale Paraphrase Data - ParaNMT-50MT (Wieting and Gimpel 2018):
- Automatic construction of large paraphrase DB:
- Get large parallel corpus (English-Czech)
- Translate the Czech side using a SOTA NMT system
- Get automated score and annotate a sample
- Corpus is huge but includes noise, 50M sentences (about 30M are high quality)
- Trained representations work quite well and generalize
- Automatic construction of large paraphrase DB:
- Large Scale Paraphrase Data - ParaNMT-50MT (Wieting and Gimpel 2018):
- Downstream Usage: Sentence similarity, classification, etc.
- Result: Interestingly, LSTMs work well on in-domain data, but word averaging generalizes better
- Entailment Transfer - InferSent (Conneau et al. 2017):
- Previous objectives use no human labels, but what if:
- Objective: supervised training for a task such as entailment learn generalizable embeddings?
- Task is more difficult and requires capturing nuance → yes?, or data is much smaller → no?
- Model: Bi-LSTM + max pooling
- Data: Stanford NLI, MultiNLI
- Results: Tends to be better than unsupervised objectives such as SkipThought


Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to consciously feel our emotions, and have a deep relationship with ourselves and other people. EQ has plenty of privileges in our life, some of the benefits of good management of EQ are the ability of awareness, and a better understanding and control of our emotions, surroundings and manage stress relief.
It’s very different as IQ (Intelligence Quotient) refers to the intellectual ability and It is an inborn ability. EQ refers to the emotional ability, it can be learned and improved overtime.
Is it important because we live surrounded by people, and we should be able to understand our emotions as well as other people's emotions, also helps us to build relationships, reduce stress, and improve job satisfaction.

Meghan Markle ‘troubled’ by Prince Andrew saying sex is ‘positive act’ in car-crash interview
The fallout from Prince Andrew’s car crash interview with the BBC has continued, with Meghan said to be “horrified”
In one of the many lowlights of the Prince’s car-crash interview with the BBC, he was asked if he had ever had sex with billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s 17-year-old sex slave Virginia Roberts.

“You have to take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it’s very difficult to try and forget a positive action and I do not remember anything.”
Meghan was said to be “horrified” and “troubled” by the response, according to The Telegraph.
Meghan — who works with a charity to support female sexual abuse survivors — felt “uncomfortable” when Prince Andrew said he would remember sleeping with a 17-year-old girl because sex, for a guy, is a “positive act”, The Sun reports.
A friend of Meghan told the Telegraph the interview had “left everyone watching it wanting to curl under a table. It just got worse and worse and worse”.

And Harriet Wistrich, a lawyer at the Centre for Women’s Justice, said: “This clearly suggests a very sexist stereotypical view of sex as something men do to women.
“It also makes no sense as to why it would be more likely you would remember it. The whole sentence – and interview – has no authenticity about it.”
Earlier this week, the Duke was kicked out of his offices at Buckingham Palace over the “car crash” of an interview.

GPS: Navigating weak memory with ghosts, protocols, and separation
Aaron Turon, Viktor Vafeiadis, Derek Dreyer
Manuscript.
[ abstract
| project page ]
Abstract:
Weak memory models axiomatize the unexpected behavior that one can
expect to observe in multi-threaded programs running on modern
hardware. In so doing, however, they complicate the already-difficult
task of reasoning about correctness of concurrent code. Worse, they
render impotent the sophisticated formal methods that have been
developed to tame concurrency, which almost universally assume a
strong (i.e., sequentially consistent) memory model.
This work introduces GPS, the first program logic to provide
a full-fledged suite of modern verification techniques—including
ghost state, rely-guarantee "protocols", and separation
logic—for high-level, structured reasoning about weak memory. We
demonstrate the effectiveness of GPS by applying it to challenging
examples drawn from the Linux kernel as well as lock-free data
structures. We also define the semantics of GPS and prove its
soundness directly in terms of the axiomatic C11 weak memory model.
Freeze after writing: quasi-deterministic parallel programming with LVars
Lindsey Kuper, Aaron Turon, Neelakantan R. Krishnaswami, Ryan R. Newton
to appear in POPL 2014.
[ abstract
| pdf | technical appendix ]
Abstract:
Deterministic-by-construction parallel programming models offer the advantages
of parallel speedup while avoiding the nondeterministic, hard-to-reproduce bugs
that plague fully concurrent code. A principled approach to
deterministic-by-construction parallel programming with shared state is offered
by
LVars: shared memory locations whose semantics are defined in terms of
an application-specific lattice. Writes to an LVar take the least upper bound
of the old and new values with respect to the lattice, while reads from an LVar
can observe only that its contents have crossed a specified threshold in the
lattice. Although it guarantees determinism, this interface is quite limited.
We extend LVars in two ways. First, we add the ability to "freeze" and then
read the contents of an LVar directly. Second, we add the ability to attach
event handlers to an LVar, triggering a callback when the LVar's value changes.
Together, handlers and freezing enable an expressive and useful style of
parallel programming. We prove that in a language where communication takes
place through these extended LVars, programs are at worst quasi-deterministic: on
every run, they either produce the same answer or raise an error. We
demonstrate the viability of our approach by implementing a library for Haskell
supporting a variety of LVar-based data structures, together with a case
study that illustrates the programming model and yields promising parallel
speedup.
Modular rollback through control logging:
Twin pearls in continuation, and a monadic third
Olin Shivers, Aaron Turon, Conor McBride
Submitted.
[ abstract
| pdf ]
Abstract:
We present a technique, based on the use of first-class control operators,
enabling programs to maintain and invoke rollback logs for sequences of
reversible effects.
Our technique is modular, in that it provides complete separation
between some library of effectful operations, and a client, "driver"
program which invokes and rolls back sequences of these operations.
In particular, the checkpoint mechanism,
which is entirely encapsulated within the effect library,
logs not only the library's effects, but also the client's control state.
Thus, logging and rollback can be almost completely transparent to the
client code.
This separation of concerns manifests itself nicely when we must
implement software with sophisticated error handling.
We illustrate with two examples that exploit the architecture
to disentangle some core parsing task from its error management.
The parser code is completely separate from the error-correction code,
although the two components are deeply intertwined at run time.
Unifying refinement and Hoare-style reasoning
in a logic for higher-order concurrency
Aaron Turon, Derek Dreyer, and Lars Birkedal
in ICFP 2013.
[ abstract
| pdf ]
Abstract:
Modular programming and modular verification go hand in hand, but most
existing logics for concurrency ignore two crucial forms of
modularity: *higher-order functions*, which are essential for building
reusable components, and *granularity abstraction*, a key technique
for hiding the intricacies of fine-grained concurrent data structures
from the clients of those data structures. In this paper, we present
CaReSL, the first logic to support the use of granularity abstraction
for modular verification of higher-order concurrent programs. After
motivating the features of CaReSL through a variety of illustrative
examples, we demonstrate its effectiveness by using it to tackle a
significant case study: the first formal proof of (partial)
correctness for Hendler et al.'s "flat combining" algorithm.
Logical relations for fine-grained concurrency
Aaron Turon, Jacob Thamsborg, Amal Ahmed, Lars Birkedal, and Derek Dreyer
in POPL 2013.
[ abstract
| pdf | technical appendix ]
Abstract:
Fine-grained concurrent data structures (or FCDs) reduce the
granularity of critical sections in both time and space, thus making
it possible for clients to access different parts of a mutable data
structure in parallel. However, the tradeoff is that the
implementations of FCDs are very subtle and tricky to reason about
directly. Consequently, they are carefully designed to be contextual
refinements of their coarse-grained counterparts, meaning that their
clients can reason about them as if all access to them were
sequentialized.
In this paper, we propose a new semantic model, based
on Kripke logical relations, that supports direct proofs of contextual
refinement in the setting of a type-safe high-level language. The key
idea behind our model is to provide a simple way of expressing the
``local life stories'' of individual pieces of an FCD's hidden state
by means of protocols that the threads concurrently accessing that
state must follow. By endowing these protocols with a simple yet
powerful transition structure, as well as the ability to assert
invariants on both heap states and specification code, we are able to
support clean and intuitive refinement proofs for the most
sophisticated types of FCDs, such as conditional compare-and-set
(CCAS).
Superficially substructural types
Neelakantan R. Krishnaswami, Aaron Turon, Derek Dreyer, and Deepak Garg
in ICFP 2012.
[ abstract
| pdf | technical appendix ]
Abstract:
Many substructural type systems have been proposed for controlling
access to shared state in higher-order languages. Central to these
systems is the notion of a
resource, which may be split into
disjoint pieces that different parts of a program can manipulate
independently without worrying about interfering with one another.
Some systems support a
logical notion of resource (such as
permissions), under which two resources may be considered disjoint even
if they govern the
same piece of state. However, in nearly
all existing systems, the notions of resource and disjointness are
fixed at the outset, baked into the model of the language, and fairly
coarse-grained in the kinds of sharing they enable.
In this paper, inspired by recent work on "fictional disjointness"
in separation logic, we propose a simple and flexible way of enabling
any module in a program to create its own custom type of splittable
resource (represented as a commutative monoid), thus providing
fine-grained control over how the module's private state is shared
with its clients. This functionality can be incorporated into an
otherwise standard substructural type system by means of a new typing
rule we call the sharing rule, whose soundness we prove
semantically via a novel resource-oriented Kripke logical relation.
Reagents: expressing and composing fine-grained concurrency
Aaron Turon
in PLDI 2012.
[ abstract
| pdf | Keynote slides | pdf slides ]
Abstract:
Efficient communication and synchronization is crucial for fine-grained
parallelism. Libraries providing such features, while indispensable, are
difficult to write, and often cannot be tailored or composed to meet the needs
of specific users. We introduce reagents, a set of combinators for
concisely expressing concurrency algorithms. Reagents scale as well as their
hand-coded counterparts, while providing the composability existing libraries
lack.
Scalable Join Patterns
Aaron Turon, Claudio Russo
in OOPSLA 2011.
[ abstract
| pdf | Keynote slides | pdf slides ]
Abstract:
Coordination can destroy scalability in parallel programming. A
comprehensive library of synchronization primitives is therefore an
essential tool for exploiting parallelism. Unfortunately, such
primitives do not easily combine to yield scalable solutions to more
complex problems. We demonstrate that a concurrency library based on
Fournet and Gonthier's join calculus can provide declarative and
scalable coordination. By declarative, we mean that the
programmer needs only to write down the constraints of a coordination
problem, and the library will automatically derive a correct solution.
By scalable, we mean that the derived solutions deliver robust
performance both as the number of processors increases, and as the
complexity of the coordination problem grows. We validate our claims
empirically on seven coordination problems, comparing our generic
solution to specialized algorithms from the literature.
Modular rollback through control logging
A pair of twin functional pearls
Olin Shivers, Aaron Turon
in ICFP 2011.
[ abstract
| pdf | Keynote slides | pdf slides ]
Abstract:
We present a technique, based on the use of first-class control
operators, permitting programs to maintain and invoke rollback
logs for sequences of reversible effects. Our technique is modular,
in that it provides for complete separation between some library of
effectful operations, and a client, "driver" program which invokes
and rolls back sequences of these operations. In particular, the
checkpoint mechanism, which is entirely encapsulated within the
effect library, logs not only the library's effects, but also the client's
control state. Thus, logging and rollback can be almost completely
transparent to the client code.
This separation of concerns manifests itself nicely when we
must implement software with sophisticated error handling. We
illustrate with two examples that both exploit the architecture to
disentangle some core parsing task from its error management. The
parser code is completely separate from the error-correction code,
although the two components are deeply intertwined at run time.
A resource analysis of the pi-calculus

[ abstract

Abstract:
We give a new treatment of the pi-calculus based on the semantic
theory of separation logic, continuing a research program begun by
Hoare and O'Hearn. Using a novel resource model that distinguishes
between public and private ownership, we refactor the operational
semantics so that sending, receiving, and allocating are commands that
influence owned resources. These ideas lead naturally to two
denotational models: one for safety and one for liveness. Both models
are fully abstract for the corresponding observables, but more
importantly both are very simple. The close connections with the
model theory of separation logic (in particular, with Brookes's action
trace model) give rise to a logic of processes and resources.
A separation logic for refining concurrent objects
Aaron Turon, Mitchell Wand
in POPL 2011.

Abstract:
Fine-grained concurrent data structures are crucial for gaining performance from multiprocessing, but their design is a subtle art. Recent literature has made large strides in verifying these data structures, using either atomicity refinement or separation logic with rely-guarantee reasoning. In this paper we show how the ownership discipline of separation logic can be used to enable atomicity refinement, and we develop a new rely-guarantee method that is localized to the definition of a data structure. We present the first semantics of separation logic that is sensitive to atomicity, and show how to control this sensitivity through ownership. The result is a logic that enables compositional reasoning about atomicity and interference, even for programs that use fine-grained synchronization and dynamic memory allocation.
All-Termination(T)
Panagiotis Manolios, Aaron Turon
in TACAS 2009.
[ abstract
| pdf | slides ]
Abstract: We introduce the
All-Termination(T) problem: given a termination
solver T and a collection of functions F, find
every subset of the formal parameters to F whose
consideration is sufficient to show, using T,
that F terminates. An important and motivating
application is enhancing theorem proving systems by constructing
the set of strongest induction schemes for F,
modulo T. These schemes can be derived from the set of
termination cores, the minimal sets returned by
All-Termination(T), without any reference to an explicit
measure function. We study the All-Termination(T) problem
as applied to the size-change termination analysis (SCT), a
PSpace-complete problem that underlies many termination
solvers. Surprisingly, we show that All-Termination(SCT) is also
PSpace-complete, even though it substantially generalizes SCT
. We develop a practical algorithm for All- Termination(SCT),
and show experimentally that on the ACL2 regression suite (whose
size is over 100MB) our algorithm generates stronger induction
schemes on 90% of multiargument functions.
Regular expression derivatives reexamined
Scott Owens, John Reppy, Aaron Turon
In JFP, March 2009, vol 19, issue 02, pp. 173-190
[ abstract
| pdf ]
Abstract:
The derivative of a set of strings
S with respect to a
symbol
a is the set of strings generated by stripping the
leading
a from the strings in
S that start
with
a. For regular sets of strings, i.e., sets defined by
regular expressions (REs), the derivative is also a regular set. In a
1964 paper, Janusz Brzozowski presented an elegant method for directly
constructing a recognizer from a regular expression based on
regular-expression derivatives (Brzozowski, 1964). His approach is
elegant and easily supports extended regular expressions; i.e., REs
extended with Boolean operations such as complement. Unfortunately, RE
derivatives have been lost in the sands of time, and few computer
scientists are aware of them. Recently, we independently developed two
scanner generators, one for PLT Scheme and one for Standard ML, using
RE derivatives. Our experiences with this approach have been quite
positive: the implementation techniques are simple, the generated
scanners are usually optimal in size, and the extended RE language
allows for more compact scanner specifications. Of special interest
is that the implementation techniques are well-suited to functional
languages that provide good support for symbolic term manipulation
(e.g., inductive datatypes and pattern matching).
The purpose of this paper is largely educational. Our positive
experience with RE derivatives leads us to believe that they deserve
the attention of the current generation of functional programmers,
especially those implementing RE recognizers. We begin with a review
of background material in Section 2, introducing the notation and
definitions of regular expressions and their recognizers. Section 3
gives a fresh presentation of Brzozowski's work, including DFA
construction with RE derivatives. In addition to reexamining
Brzozowski's work, we also report on the key implementation challenges
we faced in Section 4, including new techniques for handling large
character sets such as Unicode (Unicode Consortium, 2003). Section 5
reports our experience in general and includes an empirical comparison
of the derivative-based scanner generator for SML/NJ with the more
traditional tool it replaces. We conclude with a review of related
work and a summary.
Metaprogramming with Traits
John Reppy, Aaron Turon
In ECOOP, July 2007.
[ abstract
| pdf ]
Abstract:
In many domains, classes have highly regular internal structure. For
example, so-called business objects often contain boilerplate code for
mapping database fields to class members. The boilerplate code must be
repeated per-field for every class, because existing mechanisms for
constructing classes do not provide a way to capture and reuse such
member-level structure. As a result, programmers often resort to ad
hoc code generation. This paper presents a lightweight mechanism for
specifying and reusing member-level structure in Java programs. The
proposal is based on a modest extension to traits that we have termed
trait-based metaprogramming. Although the semantics of the mechanism
are straightforward, its type theory is difficult to reconcile with
nominal subtyping. We achieve reconciliation by introducing a hybrid
structural/nominal type system that extends Java's type system. The
paper includes a formal calculus defined by translation to
Featherweight Generic Java.
A foundation for trait-based metaprogramming
John Reppy, Aaron Turon
In FOOL/WOOD, January 2006.
[ abstract
| pdf
| slides
| tech report ]
Abstract:
Schaerli et al. introduced traits as reusable units of behavior
independent of the inheritance hierarchy. Despite their relative
simplicity, traits offer a surprisingly rich calculus. Trait calculi
typically include operations for resolving conflicts when composing
two traits. In the existing work on traits, these operations (method
exclusion and aliasing) are shallow, i.e., they have no effect on the
body of the other methods in the trait. In this paper, we present a
new trait system, based on the Fisher-Reppy trait calculus, that adds
deep operations (method hiding and renaming) to support conflict
resolution. The proposed operations are deep in the sense that they
preserve any existing connections between the affected method and the
other methods of the trait. Our system uses Riecke-Stone dictionaries
to support these features. In addition, we define a more fine-grained
mechanism for tracking trait types than in previous systems. The
resulting calculus is more flexible and expressive, and can serve as
the foundation for trait-based metaprogramming, an idiom we introduce.

Tennis: Pique defends Davis Cup commitments after scrappy Barca victory
MADRID: Barcelona's Gerard Pique defended his daily trips to the Davis Cup tennis tournament this week after his side earned a nervy 2-1 win at Leganes on Saturday (Nov 23) to remain top of La Liga.
Pique has been questioned for travelling to Madrid each day to attend the first edition of the tournament his Kosmos company has transformed, with newspaper Sport saying his role as figurehead was incompatible with his job as a Barca player.
"I had a friendly conversation with the coach about my plans and how we were going to manage it, I have a phenomenal relationship with the coach and with the club, all this noise is coming from outside," Pique told reporters.
The defender has not been at his usual best this season and was slow to close down forward Youssef En-Nesyri as he fired Madrid side Leganes into the lead, although Barca turned the game around with strikes from Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal.
Pique laughed off suggestions he was suffering from tiredness from his Davis Cup trips and explained he would not be travelling back to Barcelona with the team due to his tennis commitments with Spain playing Britain in the Davis Cup semi-finals later on Saturday.
"The journeys take 40 minutes, I'm just getting all this attention for who I am and what I represent. I try to do things in a simple way and the criticism is not serious, but people are allowed to think what they want," he said.
"I'm staying in Madrid to watch the Davis Cup semi-finals. What you do off the pitch is your business, my only job is to play well and do as well as possible."

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ****
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is the first sequel to STAR WARS, but using a bit of revisionist history, George Lucas renumbered it to be the fifth in the series and STAR WARS to be the fourth. A more intriguing marketing gimmick I have never seen. For my money, nothing like STAR WARS could be as good, but THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is certainly excellent with some characters stronger and one weaker than the first, but the script is as impressive and innovative as ever. Over 15 years after THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released, I got to see it anew with my seven year old son Jeffrey.
Basically the plot of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is that the rebels are continuing to fight the Empire. Darth Vader (David Prowse acting with voice by James Earl Jones) leads a mission to destroy the rebels' base on Hoth where our old rebel friends Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca "Chewy" (Peter Mayhew), C3PO (Anthony Daniels), and R2D2 (Kenny Baker) are. In a vision Obi-Wan (Alec Guinness) tells Luke to go to Dagobah to train under the Jedi master Yoda (Frank Oz).
The movie is an adventure and a comedy like STAR WARS, but THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK's main theme is the duality of The Force and the struggle between good and evil as manifested in Luke and Darth Vader. Vader reveals a big secret in the show, which was a shock back then. Although everyone probably knows it by now, I will not repeat it lest one of the few people to have never seen the movie may be reading this review.
One of the parts of this episode that I was particularly fond of the way is that the romantic aspect is more fully developed. There is a genuine chemistry between Han and Leia that starts off as verbal sparring, such as when Han sarcastically says, "Fraid I'd leave without giving you a good-bye kiss?"  Eventually the ripostes stop, and their relationship evolves into genuine and explicitly proclaimed love. My god, they even have three brief mouth-to-mouth kisses!
Ford was immature, but hilarious in the original. In this episode he isn't quite as funny, but his character is much more central to the plot. To me this was Ford's movie even if it appeared to be Luke's story. Overall, I liked Ford just as much as before, but Fisher better. She warmed up to the part more and was given a more substantial role.
Whereas George Lucas was STAR WARS, having directed and wrote it, in this episode he was only listed as the executive producer and was credited with the story idea, but not the script itself. The director this time was Irvin Kershner and the script was by Leigh Brackett and the great screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan (WYATT EARP, THE BODYGUARD, GRAND CANYON, THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, THE BIG CHILL, BODY HEAT, and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK).
The script again is imaginative and full of laughs. Poor Chewy remains the brunt of the many of the jokes. When Chewy starts guffawing, Han tells him, "Laugh it up fuzzball!"
Yoda provided the figure that was the fountainhead of wisdom much as Obi-Wan did in the original. Yoda plays his role like some good old boy Ph. D. from the south. He looks and sounds like a yokel who knows nothing, but actually possesses almost infinite knowledge. He tells Luke, who doesn't know he is Yoda, "Looking for someone? Found someone I'd say." When Luke is having trouble moving rocks by using The Force, Yoda tells him, he can do it. Luke responds, "Okay, I'll try." Yoda gets angry with his pupil and admonishes him, "No, try not. Do or do not. There is no try."
C3PO still gets some of the best lines. When the going gets tough, C3 would just as soon give up. When in a jam, he suggests to his companions, "Surrender is a perfectly acceptable alternative in such situations." He tells R2D2 what computer veterans know, "R2D2 you know better than to trust a strange computer."
The visual special effects (Richard Edlund and Brian Johnson) are even more imaginative than last time. As just an example, consider the Imperial Walkers. They are essentially 10 story tall, mechanical, four legged dinosaurs with human operators and laser cannons in the head portion. The design makes absolutely no sense, but creates a great visual. The way they lumber along is the piece de resistance. Watching them was actually my favorite part of the film. My son, I should point out, does a great Imperial Walker imitation.
The kids learn creativity when they watch any of the STAR WARS episodes. Consider in this one the dilemma of how to stop these huge Imperial Walkers. The answer? Why spin a web like a spider from the fighters and lasso their legs cowboy style of course! Actually, there are a lot of parallels with cowboy shows and the STAR WARS movies.
I have a single, but significant criticism of this episode. Although I know they had to do it, I did not like the casting of Mark Hamill to play Luke Skywalker again. The other actors had matured and improved, whereas Hamill seems to have gone downhill. Missing was his enthusiastic and fresh outlook. In its place was someone who looked constantly haggard as if he were out drinking late every night before the morning shooting. He was boyishly handsome in STAR WARS, but in this episode, he had curiously seemed to have lost all of his good looks, and his energy level was too low.
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK runs 2:04, and I think Paul Hirsch's editing needed the tighter focus that STAR WARS had. The film is rated PG. Again, the film is beautifully devoid of foul language. Would that modern screenwriters would realize that bad language should generally be saved for R rated films and above. The story has cartoon level violence although there is one realistic, but not graphic picture of a hand being cut off. There is no sex, nudity, smoking or drug use. I think it would be fine for most kids over 4. My son Jeffrey (age 7) loved it as did his Dad. Even with my above noted one major reservation, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK still gets my top recommendation and rating of ****.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

the journey
Looking back at my childhood, my visual experience was rooted in my love of cinema. Viewing a movie in a theater enchanted me. It is where stories are told, dreams are realized and emotions experienced. Then, as well as now, I love looking deeper into the frames of a movie to see what I could extract; even the absence of what was there inspires, looking beyond the frame itself to see what deeper meaning I could experience.
The context of the cinema extended into my childhood life as well. I have vivid memories of watching 8mm home movies on a pop-up screen in the family room. The sound of the film reel going through the projector with the light source peeking out through the sides of the machine gave me a glimpse into how many single moments were captured on one reel of film.
Photography paralleled my early experience with cinema; the remembrance of holding a scrapbook in my hands and looking at still images one by one with family. The storytelling about the image resonated as much as the image itself, indelibly imprinting in my mind, affirming my memories.
My childhood love of the visual arts eventually led me down a career path as a photographer. Leaning into the moments of photographing a subject, continuing through the manifestation of a printed image, was a beautiful culmination of process. I shot professionally for twenty years, until about three years ago when I felt compelled to pause. My love of photography had changed form. I was having difficulty finding meaning in the work. I no longer felt anything when I held the camera or looked through the lens - nothing spoke to me. A paralysis seemed to set in. I no longer felt connected to the tool I had utilized professionally for much of my life.
I needed to allow these new thoughts and feelings to flow through me to be completely present for the answer of what might be next. Like many photographers, I had experienced the industry shift from film to digital giving birth to the rapid rise of social media. Images became omnipresent. The technological advancements that have given most everyone a tool with which to photograph, is a beautiful thing. The medium was democratized, so to speak, for so many people who normally would not be making images. As I reflected, I realized it was neither a film-to-digital debate nor an aversion to technology. The recurring theme for me was an ironic one — a question that requires exploration.

Any player level 5 or UNDER is OFF Limits for PVP.
To ensure players get a fair start to the game, and a chance to get a defense, Players under level 6 should not participate in PVP. Higher level player are
allowed to kill these players unless attacked first by the lower level player. Any person found killing players level 5 or under, will be banned. Consequently
players level 5 and under will also be banned for participating in PVP actions. If provoked higher levels should avoid pvp retaliation, unless the lower level poses a significant threat.
The PVP bounty system should be used for these situations. Admin should be informed in any questionable situation.
NO WHINING, BEGGING, GREIFING, HARRASSING, or BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO OTHER PLAYERS.
Being a bother to other players, or chat spamming will result in a kick or ban, or just your repeated death.
Players are allowed to build anywhere.
This includes cities, prefabs, and other areas. Since the is a full PVP server and raiding is allowed, we feel this week keep a good rotation of loot going through the game.
Players are responsible for thier own land and base protection.
LCB size is set to 100 blocks. Meaning 99 blocks in every direction from where it is placed. There is also a 75 block deadzone, meaning players who are not friends cannot places claims within 75 blocks of each other.
The admin will not provide assistance to people who fail to lay LCB and protect their property. If a player needs to be offline for longer than 7 real-time days, and wishes for their base to be protected, you must contact and inform an admin.
The use of minibikes is allowed.
However, this is at the discretion of the admin and is subject to change, according to the needs of the server.
No Team Bullying/Raiding
To try to ensure a fair and balanced PVP server, we will not allow the use of group to bully new players.
These are not the indefinite set of rules and can be changed, taken away, added or modified at the need or will of the Admin. Common Sense Rules do apply.

A: Unfortunately, with the loads the app has been receiving it has become more costly to maintain than originally planned for, both time-wise and monetarily. It costs around $200 a year to run this app, and dozens of hours of my time for support and development. The app would also requires a non-trivial amount of time to update in order to comply with new Slack API regulations.
Q: What happened to my team's data?
A: All data was securely and permanently erased on September 1, 2021. All data is unrecoverable at this point.
Q: Are there any replacement options?
A: Other Slack apps may provide similar functionality. Alternatively, the code for pluspl.us will remain available on Github should you wish to run an instance for your own Slack team. See this branch for the code prior to the sunset.

Special Council established to oversee recommendations from Independent Investigation Company - Prof. Ahluwalia
by Shanil SinghThe University of the South Pacific Vice Chancellor, Professor Pal Ahluwalia says the Special Council has established a three person committee to oversee the recommendations submitted by the Independent Investigation Company BDO from Auckland.
This is regarding the allegations which were laid out in a leaked confidential report which was presented to the Executive Committee of the USP Council in March this year.
The three person committee is made of the Prime Minister of the Cook Islands, the Deputy Prime Minister of Samoa and the Attorney General of Fiji.
He says the Council has also approved a commission which will implement the findings and develop an action plan which would be made publicly available.
Ahluwalia says that 75% to 80% of the allegations that he had made were recognised by BDO as true which is why they set up the Commission.
The USP Vice Chancellor adds he and his family have been victimized and ill-treated in this process despite him not gaining anything from the exposure. He did not reveal who had victimized and ill-treated him and his family.
The three member committee will meet with the Commission in Auckland tomorrow.

Demo-Scalable-App
Demo of Scalable JavaScript Application using Choona.js. Choona.js (https://github.com/nsisodiya/choona.js) is a very small library for creating Scalable and Modular Javascript Application.
Presentation
Learning
Quick start to understand two key concepts.
- How to split your application into multiple modules.
- How one module talk to amother module.
What is this
Consider website like gmail.com or other web based application where large team try maintain the codebase. Such large scale application must follow some architecture and principles. This dema application work a starting point to develop such application.
Demo
- View files https://github.com/nsisodiya/Demo-Scalable-App/tree/master/demo
- 3_Blog-Application = Small Sample Website which has 5 module.
- 4_Blog-Application-With-Requirejs = Rewritten (3_Blog-Application), using Requirejs
- 5_Blog-Application-With-CustomEventBus = Rewritten (3_Blog-Application), With Custom EventBus
Basic Needs
- Application must be scalable
- Application, it should be easy to debug and develop
- Application should be reusable
Basic Concepts
- Whole application, splitted into multiple modules, modules may be dependant on other modules
- So you may have situation like this - module A depends on B & C. Module B depends on D etc
- try to develop as many as modules as you can but they should not overlap in functionality. Example - You should not create 2 modules which have 80% functioanily common with each other.
- Module will talk to other module using Events - Pub/Sub Architecture.

Coding Tutorial
Module Creation
- Module = Empty Div (html) + JS Module Object(js) + Configuration (optional)
- For creating a Module, You need one Empty Div/HTML element where you wil load module. You need to specify id of module
Flow of execution
- you create a application module using choona.startApp by passing an ID and Module Object. Module Object has start, end function. start function inside module will be executed automatically.
Variable available inside a module
* this.id => Id of module. == applicationContainer
* this.$ => Dom Element == document.getElementById(this.id);
* $(this.$) => jQ Element == $("#applicationContainer");
* this.config => Configuration
* this.sb => instance of sandbox associated with module. It provide useful API
Code
Sanbox API
Module is provided by instance of sanbox. sandbox element provide API. You need not to unsubscribe the Signals. these will be unsubscribed automatically when a module ends.
* this.sb.publish ==> Send Signals
* this.sb.subscribe ==> Recieve Signals
* this.sb.unsubscribe ==> Stop recieving Signals
* this.sb.startModule ==> Load a child module inside current module
* this.sb.endModule ==> End a child module inside current module
Example of Module to Module Communication
Extending Module
- Modules are basically objects. JavaScript provide ability to extend objects. So in Choona.js you can easily extend one module from other module.
- This kind of Inheritance is very useful as you can create a new module by inheriting a base module.
- You can load base module too

Our official #trickster for the new skate shoe - EPIK! With him we are going to remind ourselves about the good times, the great competitions and the moments, when nothing else matters except doing the things you like...
Dlirium sneakers have the philosophy of "Made Here, Not There", getting inspired by our local environment we try to transfer it in a unique local product. When you hear Dlirium, think of that quality moment with your best friends having fun! We made the brand to represent and extend that moment. To make sure that everyone can feel the passion we have for the sneakers, we observe the manufacturing process ourselves, taking great care of the smallest details and the quality of used materials. From the rubber soles to the high quality suede to the leather lining, we make sure that all materials are carefully selected to match the hand made craftsmanship we put into practise to bring all pieces together in Dlirium sneakers.
