QuantConnect provides dozens of methods to create, update, and cancel orders. These orders can be placed automatically with helper methods, or manually through methods on the algorithm API. Manual orders can be fetched, updated, and canceled with Order Tickets. As orders are filled and updated, they generate events that notify your algorithm about their execution.
In backtesting, order fills are simulated using historical data. QuantConnect allows you to create your own fill, fee, slippage, and margin models via plugin points. You can control how optimistic or pessimistic these fills are with transaction model classes. In live trading, this fill price is set by your brokerage when the order is filled.
A critical concept required before diving into specific order types is the Order Ticket. When you create an order you are given an $[OrderTicket,T:QuantConnect.Orders.OrderTicket] object to update and cancel your order. All orders return an order ticket.
In live trading, orders are asynchronous, and any operations to update the order must be requested. Whether the update is processed successfully is not guaranteed as the trade may already be filled by the time the request is sent.
In the following sections, we'll explore how to use the Order Ticket to update and cancel orders you have created.

The programs in this group use gene frequencies and quantitative character values. One (Contml) constructs maximum likelihood estimates of the phylogeny, another (Gendist) computes genetic distances for use in the distance matrix programs, and the third (Contrast) examines correlation of traits as they evolve along a given phylogeny.
When the gene frequencies data are used in Contml or Gendist, this involves the following assumptions:
How these assumptions affect the methods will be seen in my papers on inference of phylogenies from gene frequency and continuous character data (Felsenstein, 1973b, 1981c, 1985c).
The input formats are fairly similar to the discrete-character programs, but with one difference. When Contml is used in the gene-frequency mode (its usual, default mode), or when Gendist is used, the first line contains the number of species (or populations) and the number of loci and the options information. There then follows a line which gives the numbers of alleles at each locus, in order. This must be the full number of alleles, not the number of alleles which will be input: i. e. for a two-allele locus the number should be 2, not 1. There then follow the species (population) data, each species beginning on a new line. The first 10 characters are taken as the name, and thereafter the values of the individual characters are read free-format, preceded and separated by blanks. They can go to a new line if desired, though of course not in the middle of a number. Missing data is not allowed - an important limitation. In the default configuration, for each locus, the numbers should be the frequencies of all but one allele. The menu option A (All) signals that the frequencies of all alleles are provided in the input data -- the program will then automatically ignore the last of them. So without the A option, for a three-allele locus there should be two numbers, the frequencies of two of the alleles (and of course it must always be the same two!). Here is a typical data set without the A option:
5 3 2 3 2 Alpha 0.90 0.80 0.10 0.56 Beta 0.72 0.54 0.30 0.20 Gamma 0.38 0.10 0.05 0.98 Delta 0.42 0.40 0.43 0.97 Epsilon 0.10 0.30 0.70 0.62 |
whereas here is what it would have to look like if the A option were invoked:
5 3 2 3 2 Alpha 0.90 0.10 0.80 0.10 0.10 0.56 0.44 Beta 0.72 0.28 0.54 0.30 0.16 0.20 0.80 Gamma 0.38 0.62 0.10 0.05 0.85 0.98 0.02 Delta 0.42 0.58 0.40 0.43 0.17 0.97 0.03 Epsilon 0.10 0.90 0.30 0.70 0.00 0.62 0.38 |
The first line has the number of species (or populations) and the number of loci. The second line has the number of alleles for each of the 3 loci. The species lines have names (filled out to 10 characters with blanks) followed by the gene frequencies of the 2 alleles for the first locus, the 3 alleles for the second locus, and the 2 alleles for the third locus. You can start a new line after any of these allele frequencies, and continue to give the frequencies on that line (without repeating the species name).
If all alleles of a locus are given, it is important to have them add up to 1. Roundoff of the frequencies may cause the program to conclude that the numbers do not sum to 1, and stop with an error message.
While many compilers may be more tolerant, it is probably wise to make sure that each number, including the first, is preceded by a blank, and that there are digits both preceding and following any decimal points.
Contml and Contrast also treat quantitative characters (the continuous-characters mode in Contml, which is option C). It is assumed that each character is evolving according to a Brownian motion model, at the same rate, and independently. In reality it is almost always impossible to guarantee this. The issue is discussed at length in my review article in Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics (Felsenstein, 1988a), where I point out the difficulty of transforming the characters so that they are not only genetically independent but have independent selection acting on them. If you are going to use Contml to model evolution of continuous characters, then you should at least make some attempt to remove genetic correlations between the characters (usually all one can do is remove phenotypic correlations by transforming the characters so that there is no within-population covariance and so that the within-population variances of the characters are equal -- this is equivalent to using Canonical Variates). However, this will only guarantee that one has removed phenotypic covariances between characters. Genetic covariances could only be removed by knowing the coheritabilities of the characters, which would require genetic experiments, and selective covariances (covariances due to covariation of selection pressures) would require knowledge of the sources and extent of selection pressure in all variables.
Contrast is a program designed to infer, for a given phylogeny that is provided to the program, the covariation between characters in a data set. Thus we have a program in this set that allows us to take information about the covariation and rates of evolution of characters and make an estimate of the phylogeny (Contml), and a program that takes an estimate of the phylogeny and infers the variances and covariances of the character changes. But we have no program that infers both the phylogenies and the character covariation from the same data set.
In the quantitative characters mode, a typical small data set would be:
5 6 Alpha 0.345 0.467 1.213 2.2 -1.2 1.0 Beta 0.457 0.444 1.1 1.987 -0.2 2.678 Gamma 0.6 0.12 0.97 2.3 -0.11 1.54 Delta 0.68 0.203 0.888 2.0 1.67 Epsilon 0.297 0.22 0.90 1.9 1.74 |
Note that in the latter case, there is no line giving the numbers of alleles at each locus. In this latter case no square-root transformation of the coordinates is done: each is assumed to give directly the position on the Brownian motion scale.
For further discussion of options and modifiable constants in Contml, Gendist, and Contrast see the documentation files for those programs.

About me
She is often referred to as the first superstar computer games developer. He broke the monotony in the video game industry by producing a creative adventurous sandbox video game, allowing players to create, craft and mine. His passion for developing and producing a virtual Lego game, with endless building possibilities, kept him engaged with programming to such an extent that he dropped out from high school.
Goals
I always love to collect minimal and modern furniture for my home and specially for my work place. Due to covid situation as I need to work from home so now a days it’s mandatory for me to think more creatively within my work place. so, minimal colored furniture will help me a lot in this case.
Needs
Current app UI is messy. I think need to improve the app user interface. So that all information can be found organized and easy to navigate. Also need to show the order process in a modern way.
Pain Points
Problems will come up. Your willpower will run out. Like mana or stamina, willpower is a finite resource. When your own willpower runs out, you’re in trouble. Your iron will begin to crack. You’ve without a doubt felt this before. Maybe you’ve noticed it’s easier to avoid bad habits in the morning. By the time you finish school, or work, or whatever else you have going on during the day, junk food is a lot harder to resist. The call of the TV and the couch overpower the call to work on developing your video game side project.
Personality


I am a naturally curious person and love learning new things. I have developed proficient skills in JavaScript, Ruby, C++, React/Redux, Angular, Node, Express, HTML, CSS, jQuery, Mongo, PostgreSQL, MySQL, React Native, and Redis.
I enjoy working in the Agile Development process to create efficient and valuable software systems that connect clients around the world. My knack for creative problem solving has given me the ability to look at problems outside of the box and come up with unique and effective soltuions.
I am driven to work in a fast paced environment with a dedicated team. Above all I pride myself on my ability to work with others and foster a productive and safe team environment.
Able to traverse the stack from client to database while maintianing clean modular code. This range of knowledge allows me to understand and write more effective code.
Building software is a team sport, among the development strategies, the one I find most effective is the Agile Development process.

Bart Buddy was developed when one problem kept pleaguing our build team. The BART system would consistently make members late to meetings and work. The BART system provides real time transit data via GTFS stream. But many applications tracking the trains are not accurately showing the trains times and delays. Our mission was to create an IOS application using React-Native to develop a technology that could display train locations and delays in realt time. We used SocketIO to connect GTFS feed to our application and AirMaps to build the animation of the train systems.
Deployed Version
This application is built with a ReactJS front end, a NodeJS Express/ Express Router server and a Mongo DB database. Using the tonal analysis software, our team was able to develop a way to analyze the song lyrics and literature and return this data using JS Graphs. This project we used authenitcation and Psssport JS, to access a users Spotify account, then display songs from within that users profile.
Deployed Version
Social Network for the diving community. The application was built with a ReactJS front end, Express Router, and a MySQL database. The application allows users to sign up, and upload dive sites onto a map then comment on a given site. This application connects to NOAA wind and wave data to give divers one place they can see all the weather data they need before going out.

The Shaka Player library's build scripts assume the presence of tools which are readily available on Linux and Mac systems. If you need to build the library on Windows, you can use Cygwin to provide the necessary tools.
Simply install Cygwin and take care to select these non-default packages:
In addition to Cygwin, you will need to have a Java runtime environment such as JRE 7 or better. Java should be in your PATH, and "java -version" should report at least version 1.7.
Once the installation is complete, simply follow the normal build procedures as outlined in Shaka Player Development.

Simply Irresistible (1999) Reviewed by Larry McGillicuddy
*1/2 (of4) Directed by Mark Tarlov Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean Patrick Flanery, Patricia Clarkson, Dylan Baker
Simply Irresistible tries really hard to recapture the feel of an old- fashioned romantic fantasy. In fact, it tries too hard.  I'm usually kind to this sort of film, especially when there is a wonderfully charming lead performance such as Sarah Michelle Gellar delivers here. Unfortunately, her performance is comppletely wasted since the film does not provide her with a leading man that is a tenth as interesting as she is.
Gellar stars as Amanda, a chef at her small family restaraunt that is going out of business. One reason is that she can't cook very well at all. One day some guy gives her a crab (I'm not making this up), and all of a sudden crazy things begin to happen such as her food actually tasting great. People start flocking to her restaraunt and she has a hard time keeping up with all the customers.
Sean Patrick Flanery is an upper class businessman who is planning on opening his own restaraunt. He stops by Amanda's one day and is entranced by the food, eventhough his girlfriend breaks up with him at the same time. Amanda is instantly attracted to him and they begin to fall for one another. This is helped by the magic of the food, which creates a thick vanilla fog, and has them floating off the ground.
Flanery's character is one of the most confusing leading men in a romantic comedy in quite some time. At first he loves the fact that they are rolling around kissing in the vanilla fog. When they start to float, it's too much for him. He claims that he wants to be in control of his own destiny, and refuses to be with her alone again. Whenever she tries to get near him, he shouts at her and calls her a witch, like he's in Salem or something.   Who wouldn't want to be holding her as the two of you float off the ground? It doesn't help that Flanery has absolutely zero charisma. His character annoyed me so much at times I had to look away from the screen.
Surprisingly, the only other interesting performance comes from Patricia Clarkson, as Flanery's assistant. I very much disliked her annoyingly mannered performance in High Art. But here she strips away all the extra baggage and allows her natural personality to come through. I found her to be rather charming in a classy, sophisticated way. Clarkson and Gellar do their best to make this featherweight film palatable, but they receive very little help.
The film does have some nice photography. They sure got the look of a old-fashioned romance right. But the most important thing in any romance is chemistry, and despite Gellar's best efforts, there is none to speak of. Other than some nice photography and two fine performances, Simply Irresistible offers nothing for even the least discriminating of viewers.

Automatic
v2 to v3 Data Conversion
If you're
one of the many SysOps taking advantage of the free upgrade, you don't
have to worry about upsetting your players with a reset. Version
3 will convert all Trade Wars data file formats from v2.00 on. Simply
install the new version into your old directory, or copy the old data into
the directory of the new game (back up the data files in any case), and
run TEDIT or Trade Wars. That's all there is to it.
|
FOSSIL
Driver Support
Trade
Wars is finally supporting FOSSIL driver. You'll find options for
setting up the FOSSIL ports in the TEDIT node editor.
|
Modify
Ship Movement Delay
Among
several new TEDIT settings is this movement delay factor. It's up
to you to keep the game moving at a reasonable pace, so we've given you
the ability to adjust the base ship movement delay times to 1/4, 1/3, 1/2,
Normal, Double, and None.
|
Self-cleaning
Real-time Message File
This
file contains all messages passed between players. Along with lines
of chat text, these messages include all notifications and synchronization
information. This file could grow quite large even when deleted daily.
In version 3, these messages are given a lifetime of 10 seconds, after
which they can be freely removed. The file is purged of these messages
whenever the record count reaches 100 or a player exits the game.
This guarantees that the file will never grow larger than about 17K.
|
Online
System Status Report
This
global command will display a report describing various aspects of the
state of the game. This information can be used to determine if enough
or too much memory has been allocated to the game, how efficiently the
game is responding, etc. Through various TEDIT and command line options,
you can use this report to optimize your Trade Wars sessions.

I suffer from dust allergies which causes me a considerable amount of lethargy as well as other problems, to which i was diagnosed with psychological conditions and offered many pharms with not any considerably good side effects. I've stopped taking pharms for about a year now.
I recently acquired some 2C-E for the purpose of benifiting from both it's empathogenic and synergistic effects on the central nervous system along with cannabis to calm my immune system i expected positive results.
After two months of experimenting with it i thought i might contribute a few of my findings. Ideally i find 5-6mg 2-3 times per month counteracts many of the lethargic and depressive effects that my allergic symptoms exacerbate, as well some cannabis was vaporized in moderate quantities to compensate for the intensity, pain and nausea caused by the insufflation of 2C-E.
I find that the trip itself can be a little intense, however the side effects leave a healthful lasting impression on my body, no more lethargy, my cognitive abilities have also enhanced to some effect, as well to compensate for body load after the trip i take 5-HTP or possibly GHB if available.
A positive experience if kept at moderate doses, at higher doses eg. 8-13mg i find the level of unpredictable mood changes is elevated.

Traditional risk prediction only utilizes baseline factors known to be associated with the disease. Given that longitudinal information are routinely measured and documented for patients, it is worthwhile to make full use of these data. The available longitudinal biomarker data will likely improve prediction. However, repeated biomarker collection could be costly and inconvenient, and risk prediction for patients at a later time could delay necessary medical decisions. Thus, there is a trade-off between high quality prediction and cost. This package implements a cost-effective statistical procedure that recursively incorporates comprehensive longitudinal information into the risk prediction model, taking into account the cost of delaying the decision to a follow-up time when more information is available. The statistical methods are described in the following paper: Pan, Y., Laber, E., Smith, M., Zhao, Y. (2018). Reinforced risk prediction with budget constraint: application to electronic health records data. Manuscript submitted for publication.

As an extension to the last blog post dealing with Set based filter operations in our client library ,
we will introduce support for the specifying method calls in the filter expression.
What does this achieve ?
Currently , the IsIn operator only supports an equality comparision.
With support for Method Calls , you can now select entities in a set which when passed to a method , evaluate true. ex: You can generate Uris such as this :
Fortunately , not a lot of code change is required to get this support.
We will change the first parameter of the extension method from
Expression<Func<TEntity, object>> propertyExpression
to
Expression<Func<TEntity, TValue, bool>> comparisionInvokeExpression
which means that where we were initially sending an expression that selects a property of the entity , we now send the Extension method a delegate that accepts the entity and the value being compared against it and returns a boolean value after comparison using a method.
example :
Expression<Func<T, object>> propertyExpression means
customer => customer.City
Expression<Func<TEntity, TValue, bool>> comparisionInvokeExpression means
(cust, cityName) => cust.City.ToLower().StartsWith(cityName)
The second change is in the location where we build the comparision expression for values in the set.
we change the line which does the comparision using Expression.Equal with a method call to the comparision expression passed in .
We will change :
//Build a comparision expression which equats the Id of the ENtity with this value in the IDs list // ex : e.Id == 1 Expression comparison = Expression.Equal(left, Expression.Constant(id));
to :
//The Left Hand Side of the Filter Expression MethodCallExpression comaprisionMethod = comparisionInvokeExpression.Body as MethodCallExpression;
//Build a comparision expression which calls the method that does the comparision for us //ex : c=> c.City.Contains(id) Expression comparison = Expression.Call( comaprisionMethod.Object, comaprisionMethod.Method, Expression.Constant(id) );
The complete code sample is here :

[gecode-users] Value branching heuristics
Mikael Zayenz Lagerkvist
zayenz at gmail.com
Tue Dec 9 07:52:57 CET 2008
Hi,
I would suggest that you implement your own branching the same way
some of the examples do it. You will need to implement some kind of
variable selection yourself, but this is easy to do. While it is
possible to implement a new value selection heuristic for
ViewValBranch (and thus to reuse the variable selection part), the
interfaces are not geared towards custom branchings. In particular,
ViewValBranch will not give you the index of the variable the
selection is to be made for.
I'm not sure what kind of least constraining value heuristic you are
referring to in part three of your question. There is no such generic
value selection heuristic in Gecode, since the information needed is
not readily available in any propagator based constraint programming
system. There might be some custom way for your specific problem to
make such a heuristic though.
Hope this helps,
Mikael

@(message: String) @Main("Home") {
The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee. It was called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and was later renamed Nexus. In 1993, Marc Andreesen created a browser that was easy to use and install with the release of Mosaic (later Netscape), "the world's first popular browser", which made the World Wide Web system easy to use and more accessible to the average person. Andreesen's browser sparked the internet boom of the 1990s. These are the two major milestones in the history of the Web.
The wars put the Web in the hands of millions of ordinary PC users, but showed how commercialization of the Web could stymie standards efforts. Both Microsoft and Netscape liberally incorporated proprietary extensions to HTML in their products, and tried to gain an edge by product differentiation, leading to the acceptance of the Cascading Style Sheets proposed by Hakon Wium Lie over Netscape's JavaScript Style Sheets (JSSS) by W3C.
The first Internet Explorer was derived from Spyglass Mosaic . The original Mosaic came from NCSA, but since NCSA was a public entity it relied on Spyglass as its commercial licensing partner. Spyglass in turn delivered two versions of the Mosaic browser to Microsoft, one wholly based on the NCSA source code, and another engineered from scratch but conceptually modeled on the NCSA browser. Internet Explorer was initially built using the Spyglass, not the NCSA source code. The license to Microsoft provided Spyglass (and thus NCSA) with a quarterly fee plus a percentage of Microsoft's revenues for the software.
In March 2009 Version 8.0 was released, with the first public beta having been released on March 5, 2008. IE8 offered better support for web standards than previous versions, with plans for improved support for RSS, CSS, and Ajax, as well as full compliance for Cascading Style Sheets 2.1. It was also the first version to successfully pass the Acid2 test. In addition, Internet Explorer 8 included new features such as WebSlices and an improved phishing filter.
The project which became Firefox started as an experimental branch of the Mozilla Suite called m/b (or mozilla/browser). After it had been sufficiently developed, binaries for public testing appeared in September 2002 under the name Phoenix.
Firefox 23 was released on August 6, 2013. It includes an updated Firefox logo, mixed content blocking enabled by default to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks, implementation of the range form control attribute in HTML5, dropping support for the blink HTML element as well as text-decoration:blink CSS element, the restriction to have to "switch to a different search provider across the entire browser," and a global browser console, a new network monitor among other things.
Google's Eric Schmidt opposed the development of an independent web browser for six years. He stated that "at the time, Google was a small company," and he did not want to go through "bruising browser wars." After co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page hired several Mozilla Firefox developers and built a demonstration of Chrome, however, Schmidt admitted that "It was so good that it essentially forced me to change my mind."
In December 2010 Google announced that to make it easier for businesses to use Chrome they would provide an official Chrome MSI package. For business use it is helpful to have full-fledged MSI packages that can be customized via transform files (.mst) - but the MSI provided with Chrome is only a very limited MSI wrapper fitted around the normal installer, and many businesses find that this arrangement does not meet their needs.

Land Acknowledgement is an SMS and Facebook Messenger bot leveraging data from Canadian not-for-profit, Native Land, who ask that people use the data carefully because confirmation by nations is pending and they are updating data weekly.
The application is a collaboration between Code for Anchorage and the Anchorage i-team, a Municipality of Anchorage Bloomberg Philanthropy Innovation Team.
This is an open source project created by Code for Anchorage.


We want to synthesise instances of the following model by parsing in a textual representation:
parserImport XOCL; context Root @Package EntityModels @Doc A Simple Entity Model end @Class Named extends XOCL::Syntax @Attribute name : String end end @Class EntityModel extends Named @Attribute entities : Set(Entity) end end @Class Entity extends Named @Attribute relationships : Set(Relationship) end end @Class Relationship extends Named @Attribute type : String end end end
Note that the class Named extends the class XOCL::Syntax. It is necessary for all classes we want to synthesise to inherit from this class.
The code for a grammar for this language is shown below:
parserImport XOCL; parserImport Parser::BNF; import EntityModels; context EntityModel @Grammar extends OCL::OCL.grammar EntityModel ::= name = Name entities = Entity* {EntityModel[name = name, entities = entities]}. Entity ::= 'entity' name = Name rels = Relationship* {Entity[name = name, relationships = rels]}. Relationship ::= 'rel' name = Name '->' type = Name {Relationship[name = name, type = type]}. end
Note, just as with the XML grammar in the previous chapter, we define a series of grammar rules that synthesise instances of the model.
Here are some points to note:
The grammar first imports the parsers for XOCL and BNF. It also imports the EntityModels package (which must be loaded). The grammar of the EntityModel class is defined as follows:
The root of the grammar is the rule EntityModel.
A rule is sequences of pattern declarations followed by an action (in curly brackets} which is called after the parsing has occured.
In the case of the EntityModel rule, it is defined to be a name, followed by a sequence of Entity (which is bound to the variable entities).
The result of parsing an EntityModel is to create an instance of a EntityModel class with the variables name and entities populated with the above values.
An Entity is the string ‘name’ and a sequence of Relationships (bound to the variable rels). The result of parsing it is to create an instance of a Event class with the variable name passed as a parameter.
A similar rule is used for Relationships.
The following is a small example of a model written in the syntax:
parserImport EntityModels; import EntityModels; Root::p := @EntityModel Customers entity Customer rel Owns -> Account entity Account end;
Compiling and loading the above three files in order will load the model, the parser definition and the example. The result will be stored in the Root variable p, which can be edited in the console using p.edit().

OpenSourceFunding
Dear visitor,
We all rely on open-source software every day. It's in our browsers, on the servers that serve our websites, our mobile phones, and even in the websites and software we use. Open-source software enables developers to reuse existing solutions to engineering problems, offload their maintenance to the open-source community and significantly decrease the amount of time and work needed to release new software products.
But it also poses difficult and hotly debated questions: How do we compensate the open-source community for their efforts? How can we ensure open-source projects keep being maintained? Should open-source developers be involved in the commercial success of their projects? And finally: Who really benefits most from open-source software - the community or the companies that make profits from using it?
With this survey, we wanted to find out how you (the open-source community) feel about funding in open-source projects and answer some of the questions above.
We personally want to thank every participant for the time they invested in our survey. We hope the results can amplify the voices of the open-source community, contribute to improving the situation for open-source maintainers, and thus, secure open-source projects in the long term.
Thank you,
Your fellow OpenSourceFunding team
P.S.: Feel free to share this survey with the rest of the world!

Imagine for a moment that you have a pet swan. What would you call it? Alan? Belinda? Clive? Dot? I could continue through the alphabet, but I won't, not for the time being. If I did, we would soon enough get to J. I like to think that I would not, at that juncture, pick the name Jack. Not for a swan. It doesn't seem right. Yet that is the name Anna Pavlova gave to her swan, as can be seen in this tremendous photograph, kindly sent to me by David Cranmer. Click for gigantic version.

Measure the distance
User can use this simple tool to measure the distance between two points
in pixels or angle. When the measure dialog box is open,
POW is in the "Ruler" mode. The user can place the mouse at the first
point and click-and-drag to the second point with the right mouse button down.
When the mouse button is released, the measured values will be shown
on the dialog box. The user can also change the position of either end or
move the whole ruler by click-and-drag the middle mouse with the left mouse.
When the dialog box is closed, pow will return to the normal mode.


2D Texture Arrays
Creating a Filmstrip Illusion
Similar to our previous example, here we also use a texture3D TOP that’s set to pre-fill. Here our instances are arranged based on a vertical line. The border dressing done in textures creates the illusion of a film strip. Finally, we use a math CHOP to seamlessly snap our filmstrip back to the top at a regular interval.

THE SLINGSHOT A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1994 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Jasper Salen, Stellan Skarsgaard, Basia Frydman, Niclas Olund. Screenplay/Director: Ake Sandgren.
It may be my imagination, but the last two years seem to have been a particularly good time to be a young actor. Films focusing on younger characters have been everywhere, from FREE WILLY to SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER to KING OF THE HILL to THIS BOY'S LIFE. Whether it's representative of some societal yearning for a return to innocence, a rare influx of young talent, or some happy confluence of the two, coming-of-age dramas have become nearly as ubiquitous as Hugh Grant. None of which makes a good one any less desirable, and THE SLINGSHOT is a good one indeed, a sharply written Swedish import with a singular perspective and exceptional performances.
Based on an autobiographical novel by Roland Schutt, THE SLINGSHOT tells the story of ten-year-old Roland (Jasper Salen) and his trials and tribulations living in 1920's Sweden.  This lineage makes him the target of schoolyard bullies, sadistic schoolmasters and government officials, who tend to use him as a scapegoat. Even with his family he is not safe, as his older brother (Niclas Olund), an aspiring boxer, uses him as a punching bag. But in spite of his many obstacles, Roland navigates through his difficult world with determination and an inventive spirit.
As with the other recent films I mentioned, THE SLINGSHOT rests squarely on the small shoulders of its young star, and Jasper Salen is up to the task. With a round, open face reminiscent of A CHRISTMAS STORY's Peter Billingsley, Salen manages to convey both innocence and toughness in the delicate balancing act required by Ake Sandgren's adaptation. While many things happen *to* Roland, he is never merely a receptacle. He exhibits a cockiness born of necessity, and a gift for utilizing the tools at his disposal to get ahead. When another boy offers Roland a used bike he hasn't the money for, Roland offers to repair and paint some other bikes to repay his debt. After a fight with his brother results in Roland owing his father money as well, he tries to earn it by selling balloons made out of the condoms his mother distributes illegally. Roland is always thinking, and it is this intelligence that comes through in Salen's performance. He is complemented by a wonderful supporting cast, particularly Stellan Skarsgaard as Roland's father, a driven man who compensates for his crippling sciatica by pushing himself and his family to their limits.
Although THE SLINGSHOT is, as one might expect, primarily episodic, it is still rich enough thematically that it never feels like merely a loose collection of scenes. Foremost among these themes is the clash of capitalism and socialism, personified by Roland himself. While his father lectures to him about the revolution, Roland fashions many creations with condoms, and imagines himself credited as the inventor of "The Underwater Sock" and "The Condom Slingshot." When Roland shows a cat his newly refurbished bike and says to it, "That's mine," it is as succinct a statement of rebellion as one might imagine. There is also a nicely played scene in which Roland's father, who is acting as a body double for a portrait of the King, momentarily forgets his politics when he puts on a pair of expensive shoes. This is not to say that THE SLINGSHOT acts as little more than a one-sided political tract; Sandgren is equally critical of the restrictive government policies which turn the Schutts into criminals for advocating birth control. However, it is Roland's internal struggle with his heritage that makes his external struggles even more potent.
THE SLINGSHOT's key failing may be that it tries to do too much, and some of the scenes begin to seem repetitive. The obligatory moment of sexual awakening seems just that--obligatory--and ends with a scene surprisingly lacking in emotional punch. A late series of events which involves Roland's implication in a crime bogs down seriously, and removes him from the relationships which drive his story. Those relationships, particularly Roland's complex interaction with his father, are what make THE SLINGSHOT memorable. Thanks to Jasper Salen's splendid work, THE SLINGSHOT takes its place as a worthy addition to the list of fine coming-of-age films.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 condoms: 8.

Activity Recognition is the process of automatically inferring what a user is doing based on sensor observations. When your smartphone automatically identifies if you have been walking or running, it is doing activity recognition using the observations of its accelerometer sensor. In this challenge, participants will design methods to recognize cooking steps from inertial data. The data was collected during cooking sessions of different foods. It involves several steps performed with a different sequence. We will hold a workshop at ABC Conference to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches, open challenges and future perspectives of this topic. Read more

To create a chart, we need to instantiate the Chart
class. To do this,
we need to pass in
the 2d context of where we want to draw the chart. Here's an example
<canvas id="myChart" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
//Get the context of the canvas element we want to select
var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext("2d");
var myNewChart = new Chart(ctx).PolarArea(data);
We can also get the context of our canvas with jQuery. To do this, we need to get the DOM node out of
the jQuery collection, and call the getContext("2d")
methid on that.
//Get context with jQuery - using jQuery's .get() method.
var ctx = $("#myChart").get(0).getContext("2d");
// This will get the first returned node in the jQuery collection
var myNewChart = new Chart(ctx);
After we've instantiated the Chart class on the canvas we want to draw on, Chart.js will handle the scalling for retina displays.

Indian couple go on trial in Germany for spying on Kashmiris and Sikhs on behalf of RAW
by AFPBERLIN: An Indian couple accused of spying on Sikh and Kashmiri communities in Germany went on trial Thursday on charges that carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
The suspects were charged in March and have been named only as Manmohan S., 50, and his wife Kanwal Jit K., 51, in keeping with German privacy rules for defendants.
Their trial was being held in a court in Frankfurt.
“Manmohan S. agreed… to provide information about Germany’s Sikh community and Kashmir movement and their relatives to an employee of the Indian foreign intelligence service Research & Analysis Wing,” prosecutors said in a statement earlier this year.
His wife joined him in monthly meetings with the Indian intelligence officer between July and December 2017, and in total the couple was paid 7,200 euros ($8,100).
Sikhs in Germany number between 10,000 and 20,000 — their third biggest community in Europe after Britain and Italy, according to the religious rights group REMID.


E-passport: Aregbesola cautions Nigerians with dual citizenship
by Adelani AdepegbaAdelani Adepegba
Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has cautioned Nigerians with dual citizenship against applying for the e-passport.
Speaking at the Nigerian High Commission in Tokyo, Japan on Friday during the rollout of the e-passport, the minister told Nigerian-Japanese who had accepted Japanese citizenship that a new visa regime that would grant them multiple entries into Nigeria up to the validity of their Japanese passports would commence soon.
He said, “I am aware that Japan does not accept dual citizenship, although Nigeria does. Because of this, I urge every Nigerian who renounces their Nigerian citizenship not to apply for the e-passport at this centre or anywhere.
“I would like to assure those Nigerian-Japanese who have accepted Japanese citizenship that a new visa regime that will grant them multiple entries into Nigeria up to the validity of their Japanese passports will commence soon.”
He said the Federal Government had received several requests from both the Nigerian community and the Nigerian Embassy in Japan on the need to open a passport issuance centre in Tokyo due to the distance Nigerians had to cover to obtain it.
In response to these requests, Aregbesola explained that President Muhammadu Buhari, in his commitment to the citizens and ease of doing business, approved the issuance of both e-passports and biometric visa in Japan.
He added, “Suffice to say that this provision and service is not limited to Tokyo, Japan; we will open tomorrow (Saturday) another e-passport and biometric visa facilities in our Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, bringing to a total of 44 foreign missions, 43 local and four front offices where the Nigeria Immigration Service issues passports to our citizens.”
The minister said the biometric visa had improved security on the current vignette visa, noting that it would assist the national security to combat transnational organised crime.

TITANIC
A Film Review by Brian Takeshita
Rating: *** out of ****
I was pleasantly surprised by this film. With a budget topping $200 million, I was quite skeptical about whether throwing all that money toward one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies would make a film exciting enough to see. How much could you dress up the sets? How many models and computer effects could you use? How much more action could you pack into a ship that sinks? Oh, if I've just given away part of the plot for you, go back to school. After having viewed TITANIC, however, I found it to be a well-paced, well-designed, and overall well-made movie. There have been many films made about the maiden and final voyage of the ocean liner Titanic, but this latest offering from director James Cameron is the best I've seen.
TITANIC tells its story in two time periods. It starts out in the present, when ocean explorer Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) and his team are exploring the wreckage of the Titanic on the floor of the Atlantic, searching for a priceless diamond necklace which supposedly went down with the ship. What they find instead is a drawing of a woman wearing the necklace, which is broadcast on the news. The woman in the picture recognizes herself and phones Lovett, who has her flown out to his exploration vessel on the high seas. There she tells her story to Lovett and his team.
In 1912, Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslett), a young lady belonging to society's upper class, boards the Titanic for the ship's first Atlantic crossing, from Southampton, England to New York. She is engaged to Cal Hockley (Billy Zane), an heir to old money, and a snob in every sense of the word. On board, Rose feels the stifling trappings of high-society's expectations, and resolves to escape from it all by throwing herself off the Titanic's stern, but is saved from her self-proclaimed fate by Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), a passenger in third-class ("steerage", as it's referred to), who talks her out of jumping. Although for Rose the attraction is not immediate, a love affair soon develops between the two, which endangers Rose's social standing as well as her engagement to the jealous Cal.
The story sounds very simple, and perhaps even unexciting, but through solid performances by the leads and good direction by Cameron, a good movie comes through. DiCaprio is marvelous as the young, but worldly-wise Jack, playing the role with the confidence usually found in older actors. His is a character that is immediately likable, as he knows what he wants out of life and is charmingly able to handle a variety of situations. Girls are going to swoon over him. Winslet also proves herself a good actress, delivering her lines convincingly, and the quality of performances between Winslet and DiCaprio makes the relationship believable. The only problem with Winslet is that she does not carry herself in accordance with her character's upbringing. Simply by judgment of her gait, I was distracted from the fact that she was supposed to be an upper-crust debutante. Rather than demonstrate the poise one would expect her character to possess, she sometimes looks positively clumsy, and it unfortunately detracts from her otherwise great acting.
Billy Zane is cast well as the aristocratic snob Cal, since he has a certain look that immediately makes you want to hate him.  He's something like a porcelain version of Peter Gallagher, but a cheaper model. Like DiCaprio and Winslet, Zane slips comfortably into his role and plays it well. Backing up Zane is David Warner as Lovejoy, Cal's personal assistant (or "man" as they said at the turn of the century). No matter who else is in the cast, you can always count on a good performance by Warner, who seems to be made to play the distinguished gentleman with a gaze of steel and will to match. Additionally, there are a number of smaller fictional and non-fictional roles thrown in for color, such as Kathy Bates as "The Unsinkable" Molly Brown, Danny Nucci as Jack's friend Fabrizio De Rossi, Eric Braeden as John Jacob Astor, and even Bernard Fox as Colonel Archibald Gracie. Nice to see Dr. Bombay getting work.
Also scattered about are some of the other steerage passengers who are basically in the movie so you can feel sorry for them when they die. This by itself may have been largely compulsory in a film about the Titanic, but it transcends this status by putting these characters in direct conflict with the ship's crewmembers who strive to maintain order and assure that the first-class passengers are placed aboard the lifeboats before anyone else. In this way, TITANIC possesses a depth not usually found in action pictures. You don't just get a love story with a tragedy as a backdrop, but a very real account of class struggle as well.
As I mentioned before, the budget for this film was tremendous, and it certainly showed in the set dressing and special effects. The interiors of the Titanic are nearly breathtaking with their elaborate trimmings and intricate detail, and one has very little doubt that the layouts are authentic. With regard to the exteriors, I would dare anyone to point out a film in which a vessel has been recreated with such meticulousness or on such a scale. Cameron actually built a scale model of the Titanic in a water tank, but only had room for 90%, and therefore had to computer-generate the remaining 40 feet. Could've fooled me and everyone else in the theater, as the splicing is seamless.
Also of note in this film is the way the audience is presented with the anatomy of the disaster right at the beginning. We are told of where the iceberg struck the ship, how the flooding occurred, the way the ship sank, and why it did so in that manner. These technical details serve as a guide for later on when the action starts happening, and allow us to view the sinking with informed analytic detraction, in addition to the more conventional placement in the midst of mayhem and confusion.
In all, James Cameron's TITANIC is a good blend of love story, history, and action. The fact that the film runs longer than most at about three hours is almost unnoticed as the viewer's attention is held alternately by those three main elements, from the movie's intriguing beginning to it's satisfactory ending. In box office receipts, TITANIC the movie will undoubtedly live up to the unsinkable expectations of Titanic the ship.

Raging Bull (1980)
Grade: 89
Considered by many to be the best film of the 1980s, "Raging Bull" falls short of that extremely high standard. However, it is still a great film, with excellent performances from Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, and glorious black and white cinematography.
"Raging Bull" tells the story of middleweight boxer Jake La Motta, from relatively early in his career to about a decade after his retirement. This covers the years 1943 through 1964. La Motta is the scourge of his division, with only Sugar Ray Robinson able to defeat him. La Motta, an argumentative and violent man, is managed by his equally querulous brother Pesci. La Motta leaves his hostile first wife for blond beauty Cathy Moriarty, but his obsessive jealousy towards her threatens their marriage as well as his relationship with his brother.
Eventually, La Motta's career fails due to age and corpulence. He becomes a night club entertainer, falls on hard times, but he is no quitter.
"Raging Bull" isn't for everyone. There is much violence and "adult" language. The film should appeal to men more than to women. Men will be more likely to sympathize and even admire La Motta, while women will be more likely to condemn him for his violence and self-destructive ways.
De Niro put on nearly fifty pounds in order to better play the older, heavyset La Motta. This is acting beyond the call of duty. De Niro is cool and intense at the same time, but Pesci also gives a great performance. The dialogue between De Niro and Pesci is great, and the flood of obscenities is admittedly entertaining.
"Raging Bull" is a relentless character study, but there is some comic relief. La Motta buys a newfangled television set, and is unable to get a picture on it. One scene has him staring blankfaced at a scrambled signal.
"Raging Bull" won Academy Awards for Best Actor (De Niro) and Film Editing (Thelma Schoonmaker). The editing award was undoubtedly due to the boxing sequences, with their unusual slow motion and close-ups. The film was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Pesci) and Actress (Moriarty), as well as Director (Martin Scorsese) and Cinematography (Michael Chapman).
