[(from outside) Continually knocks.] Mm, they must not be home. [Rummages through her fringe, picking out her hairpin again. Blondie pushes open the door and switches on the lights immediately. Her friends confusedly follow behind her. Blondie scoffs in delight.] Hi, guys! [Steps into the light eagerly.]

Blondie has a lit-up grin on her face, glad that her company is appreciated.

Ashlynn Ella:

[Tells Cupid.] Maybe we should be moving on.

C.A. Cupid:

It was very lovely meeting all of you. [The three politely wave and attempt walking out the door.]

Blondie Lockes:

What are you talking about? [Blondie appears in front of the three girls, startling them slightly as she forcefully brings them back into the living room.] My friends are really hungry, would you guys have some porridge, by any chance?

Mother bear:

Why, of course...we always have porridge!

Father bear:

And offering it to a girl who broke into our house, would, I suppose, be the polite thing to do.

Child bear:

Ughhh... Enough already!!! [Jumps onto the arm of a chair.] She already broke my bed; she broke my chair! I can't take it anymore... get out, [The four girls all gasp.] get out, get out get out GET OUT!!! [He slams the door behind him and the girls are all forced out.]

Life on Europa? The moon with life in a subsurface ocean?
This moon of Jupiter might have life in a subsurface ocean.
Life on Europa: Water from a subsurface ocean on Jupiter's moon, Europa, could reach the surface through seeps or erupt from hot water vents. This water would reveal the chemistry of the subsurface ocean and may contain microbes that live below. Artist's concept image by NASA / JPL.
Subsurface structure of Europa: This image shows the internal structure of Europa. It has an icy crust supported by a subsurface ocean. Below that is the rocky layer surrounding an iron core. Image by NASA / JPL.
For the past several centuries, everyone believed that Mars was the most likely body in our solar system to support life beyond Earth. But after centuries of telescope observation, decades of spacecraft exploration, and several robots exploring its surface, the promise of discovering life on Mars remains elusive.
Now, scientific attention is being focused on Europa, the fourth-largest of Jupiter's 67 confirmed moons. It may be an even better candidate for finding life than Mars. For life to be present the three basic requirements are: 1) liquid water; 2) chemical building blocks; and, 3) a source of energy. Europa is thought to have all three.
The surface of Europa is very cold and covered with ice. This ice forms a "crust" on the moon that is thought to be several kilometers thick. Beneath the crust, a subsurface ocean of liquid water up to 100 kilometers deep is thought to exist. Investigators believe that the ocean is rich in dissolved ions, particularly magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chlorine. Organisms on Earth live in ion-rich solutions, so there is a good chance that they live in them on Europa.
Video: Europa - Cool Destination for Life, produced by NASA / JPL News.
Spacecraft observations determined that the surface of Europa is covered with water ice. That ice and other materials on Europa's surface are bombarded with radiation from Jupiter that could alter them into some of the chemical building blocks of life. These include: free oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
If these compounds reach the subsurface ocean, they can be valuable nutrients to start and sustain life. The ocean water can react with the rocks and minerals of the subsurface ocean's floor to liberate other nutrients to support life.
Video: The Europa-Jupiter System Mission, produced by NASA / JPL News.
Video: Hubble Directly Images Possible Plumes on Europa, produced by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Katrina Jackson.
Europa's position in space is within the powerful gravitational field of Jupiter. This strong gravitational "pull" has the moon locked into an orbit with one hemisphere constantly facing Jupiter. The elliptical orbit takes Europa alternatively closer to and farther away from the planet. This alternating increase and decrease of gravitational force on Europa results in the moon elongating and relaxing with each trip around the planet. This internal movement, combined with gravitational forces exerted by neighboring moons, produces internal friction and heat within Europa.
Europa's internal heat could be the energy source that keeps the subsurface ocean from freezing and sustains any life that exists there. There could be hot water vents on the floor of the subsurface ocean that deliver energy and nutrients from the planet's interior. Organisms on Earth have been discovered in the subglacial lakes of Antarctica and in the hot ion-rich waters of hydrothermal vents. Life in Europa's subsurface oceans could be supported in similar ways.
Europa from Galileo: An image of the trailing hemisphere of Europa. It shows very few impact structures but numerous ridges and fractures that suggest a rigid crust moving over a mobile layer below. Image by NASA.
NASA gives three pieces of evidence that strongly support the presence of Europa's subsurface ocean.
1) Magnetometer surveys done by the Galileo spacecraft discovered an induced magnetic field near Europa's surface. This suggests a large body of conductive material (salty water) at a depth of 30 kilometers (about 20 miles) or less.
2) The surface of Europa has bands, ridges, fractures and multi-ringed impact structures that suggest the presence of mobile material below.
3) The surface of Europa has large-scale fractures and ridges similar to those that bound Earth's tectonic plates. These suggest a mobile layer below Europa's crust that supports the crust and allows it to move.
A Window into Europa's Ocean Right at the Surface: Website article by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, March 2013.
Europa & Titan: Moons With Life?: Article from the Earthguide section of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego website, last accessed October 2016.
Europa Could Have the Ingredients Needed for Life: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.
What Makes Us Think There is an Ocean Beneath Europa's Icy Crust?: Article from the NASA website, March 2013.
The presence of magnesium compounds on the surface of Europa suggests that water from the subsurface ocean reaches the surface through springs or vents. If this occurs these eruptions would deliver up ions and microbes from the ocean below.
So, if there is life in Europa's subsurface ocean, it could be scattered about the surface of the planet where landers or rovers might find it. A mission to the surface of the Europa might easily find evidence of life or even some of the microbes by sampling surface materials.
This makes Europa a very interesting target in the search for extraterrestrial life. Some researchers believe that it is a much better target than Mars.

A Bryan Adams Tribute ft.
The idea of Rock Tree is Simple - The 70s and 80s produced music that has left an indelible mark on a lot of us. They have almost given us a new purpose in life. Rock Tree is a humble attempt to keep that flame burning. The audacity of the guitar riffs, the face melting guitar solos, the outrageous exhibition of vocal ranges, the booming snares, the keyboard tones, the belting bass, almost every time, leave us awestruck but with a sense of purpose – How do we keep this style of music alive?
Rock Tree has thus been formed by musicians who have been playing music with different bands all over Delhi and India. This joint effort is to dish out come Classic Rock songs, which for decades have given us unquenchable delight and a way to feel good about our own existence. We are, right now, working on Tribute Sets and Bryan Adams is one of the first Artists we are covering.

Welcome to Flash Player 11.8 and AIR 3.8. In today's release, we've updated Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer (ActiveX) to resolve multiple issues regarding the ExternalInterface API.
3583922 - [Internet Explorer] - ExternalInterface now works correctly in instances where SWF content was embedded using only the tag.
3606308 - [Android][SecureSocket] [AIR] - Application getting crash when trying to connect with host contains SSL certificate.
3077653 - [iOS] [AIR] - Creating too many FileStream objects will cause app to crash on iOS.
717340 - [Mozilla] [Mac] [Dual Monitor] - Fixes an issue where the Cursor disappeared when moving from Full-Screen video in the second display to Firefox/Safari in the primary display.
It is common for developers to build games comprised of many externally-loaded SWF files containing multimedia assets (either from an application package or downloaded from the internet). Often, these SWFs contain MovieClips that begin playing after they are loaded. On mobile platforms, in particular, there is significant CPU overhead in processing these playing MovieClips even when they are not visible, and it has long been our recommendation to developers to call the stop method on all unnecessary MovieClips after loading a SWF. The new stopAllMovieClips method of DisplayObjectContainer is intended to provide an easier way to accomplish this. It will stop the timeline animations of all MovieClip objects that are descendants of the corresponding DisplayObjectContainer, in addition to the DisplayObjectContainer itself, if it also happens to be a MovieClip.
The RectangleTexture class is available in the BASELINE and BASELINE_EXTENDED profiles. Unlike a Texture, RectangleTexture allows for non-power-of-two dimensions, but does not support mipmapping, compressed textures, or the 'wrap' sampling mode. It supports the following texture formats: BGRA, BGR_PACKED and BGRA_PACKED. It is intended to be used for 1:1 screen drawing, including backbuffer-sized blits. The maximum size is at least 2048 in the BASELINE profile and 4096 in the BASELINE_EXTENDED profile, or the size of the backbuffer, whichever is greater.
Add to the 'Additional compiler arguments' input: -swf-version=21. This ensures the outputted SWF targets SWF version 21. If you compile on the command-line and not in Flash Builder, you need to add the same compiler argument.
Ensure you have installed the new Flash Player 11.8 build in your browser.

6/28 celebrating "Stylistically Influenced By Orlando"
english\\\\NarziB celebrated the arrival of June with a night dramatically entitled "Flaming June And Her Mortal Coil". In 1834 Frederic Leighton painted what in the course of time was meant to be rescued from oblivion and acclaimed his magnum opus, Flaming June, a damsel profoundly asleep against the distant horizon. The flaming yellow of her classical dress, the perfect fragility of her youth and the heavenly luminosity of the painting cover the piece with an unequalled ephemerality, reminding us the fugaciousness of beauty and of happiness, and the tragic destinies of the greco-roman mythologies by contrast. Somehow, We believe that June, by sleeping, is evading her mortal coil, or the tragedy that fate has in store for her. For Us, June is the most beautiful sleeping victim, and with this We don't want to put ourselves as fatalists, but, in any case, our attempt is to make NarziB a moment of dream, the relief of June, the exit from reality, the escapade of Hamlet's mortal coil, and well, in addition - we must say-, a flaming and dramatic Tokyoite cultural palaestra. Among the guests were our flyer model of the month Pierre Klein and our all time fantastic libertines, including the host Gallermic exhibiting his present mortal coil: the damn visas!!!!!


Q:

Teaching students about non-significant results and large effect size

This year I am going to teach statistics to sophomore year students of psychology. We'll be training such methods as one-way ANOVA. The example will be the time-reaction of a cognitive task among alcoholics, non-alcoholics and ex-alcoholics. This is just an made-up, imagery-stimulating example.
I'd like to ask you all, what I should tell them when it comes to the interpretation of the statistically non-significant results with a large effect size.
$$F(2,21) = 3.14; p = 0.22, \eta^2=0.30.$$
What would you say to a psychology student about how to understand these findings?
A) The results are statistically non-significant F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.12, eta = 0.20 thus the researcher's hypothesis (about the influence of alcoholism on working memory) is rejected.
B) Although the results are statistically non-significant F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.20, due to a large effect size $\eta^2$ = 0.20 the research hypothesis may be correct (thus further examination needed).
C) The results show that the data are consistent with null hypothesis of no-effect (of an alcoholism on a capacity), F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.20, but the large effect size $\eta^2$ suggests that the research hypothesis may be correct.
D) … anything else?

A:

I wouldn't explain it to them in any of these ways. (Note also that the numbers in some of those explanations are wrong -- you need to be more careful of that)

A) The results are statistically non-significant F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.12, eta = 0.20 thus the researcher's hypothesis (about the influence of alcoholism on working memory) is rejected.

You can't support this statement -- the absence of evidence of the presence of the predicted effect is not the same thing as evidence the effect is absent.

C) The results show that the data are consistent with null hypothesis of no-effect (of an alcoholism on a capacity), F(2,21) = 3.14, p-value = 0.20, but the large effect size η2 suggests that the research hypothesis may be correct.

If you're trying to show them how to construct a conclusion I'd say the broad form of C is closest to being reasonable (though I think for that purpose you could do better as well), but for an explanation I'd lean more toward something roughly along the lines of
"The results are consistent with the absence of an effect, but the estimated effect size is large; this occurs because the standard error of the effect size is also large -- we can't tell if the population effect is big or small from these data; the sample size is too small to estimate it well."

I'd also add that reaction times are not going to be anywhere close to normally distributed in general; typically they're quite skew and tend to have spread related to the mean (smaller means are associated with smaller standard deviations). I wouldn't be using regression/ANOVA with reaction times; I'd be choosing a more suitable model.


At Milex, we understand that the brake system is one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle. Because of this, keeping up with brake repairs and maintenance services is critical to your safety on the road. The brake system is comprised of many components, including brake pads, cylinders, drums, and rotors. These components all endure wear and tear with miles driven and will need replacement and maintenance at some point.


During the Windows upgrade, the Upgrade Compatibility wizard runs a through test of the machine and reports any known compatibility issues. Sometime, the report may show you a particular role installed when it is actually not present.
One of the reasons this occurs is due to corruption in the component store, or any registry locations related to the role, that is causing the state of the role to be misreported. In this scenario, running a CheckSUR shows that there were several missing Deployment Keys in the components hive.
Since there is no easy way to fix links to so many keys, we ended up performing an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2008 R2 using the media. This fixed the issue with the missing registry entries in the components hive and we could verify that running CheckSUR fixed the issue. Once we made sure that the state of all the components and deployment manifests were intact, we could perform the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 without any issues.
Issue 2: Upgrade fails when there is another volume larger than the C drive on the same disk without a drive letter.
Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored.
In this situation, the setup process temporarily assigns a drive letter to that volume and may use this volume to hold temporary files ($Windows.~BT) because that is the largest volume. But the temporary drive letter assignment is removed during the reboot and it leaves the upgrade without a temporary file location causing it to fail.
This is very unlikely on a server to have this sort of partition layout, but if you dual boot your client desktop, you may run into this issue. The workaround is simple, just statically assign a drive letter to any additional partitions you have on the disk, except for the System Reserved partition.
If you have Hyper-V installed, make sure all VMs are turned off. Snapshots are ok, but any VMs that are in saved state may not boot after the upgrade.
Ensure that BitLocker is suspended, and Antiviruses are disabled. Any backup or data replication software you are running should be paused so that it does not interfere with the upgrade.
We launched the “Check System Update Readiness” or CheckSUR tool a few years ago. This tool is continuously updated with the latest payloads and can detect report and fix a variety of corruption issues with the component store. More details on running this tool can be found on Joseph’s blog here.

I also had this error: "Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored." trying to do a in-place upgrade of a Domain Controller Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2.
The upgrade ran ok, and now have my DC as Windows 2012 R2. Hope that helps!.
I'm running into the same issue you talked about in situation 1, but I ran CheckSUR and it didn't find anything. I've tried uninstalling the roles, and the role manager shows them as gone, but services continue to run. So then I unstalled the services manually, and I still got the same error. Any suggestions? I'm leaving the country for the summer in a few weeks, and I would like to get this taken care of before I leave… Thanks for your help!
I'm in the same boat as Jake except for the leaving bit. Any updates? Just tried to run an in-place upgrade today and had the "compatibility" error, but it doesn't give you any info on where the error/s occur??
"Setup cannot continue. Your computer will now restart, and your previous version of Windows will be restored."
1. Ran SFC /scannow "did not find any integrity violations."
2. Removed the "System Reserved Partition"
This 2008R2 DC is a VM on VMware 6.
Needs additional help . . . .


Recent research has shown that deep learning methods have performed well on supervised machine learning, image classification tasks. The purpose of this study is to apply deep learning methods to classify brain images with different tumor types: meningioma, glioma, and pituitary. A dataset was publicly released containing 3,064 T1-weighted contrast enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) brain images from 233 patients with either meningioma, glioma, or pituitary tumors split across axial, coronal, or sagittal planes. This research focuses on the 989 axial images from 191 patients in order to avoid confusing the neural networks with three different planes containing the same diagnosis. Two types of neural networks were used in classification: fully connected and convolutional neural networks. Within these two categories, further tests were computed via the augmentation of the original 512×512 axial images. Training neural networks over the axial data has proven to be accurate in its classifications with an average five-fold cross validation of 91.43% on the best trained neural network. This result demonstrates that a more general method (i.e. deep learning) can outperform specialized methods that require image dilation and ring-forming subregions on tumors.


Meet the New Boss: Rand Paul?
When Scott Brown voted for the jobs bill and endorsed Mitt Romney for president, I thought it was a pretty good hint that the whole Tea Party thing was doomed to failure. It seemed even more clear this morning, when Jeff Zeleny over at the New York Times quoted Rand Paul saying that if elected, he would support Mitch McConnell's leadership in the Senate. "I don't see myself going up there and being the one fly in the ointment," he said.
Of course, one of Paul's most passionate convictions is for term limits. Since the Supreme Court found them unconstitutional and Paul is so passionate a devotee to the Constitution that he wants to pass a law ordering Congress to cite a Constitutional justification for every law they pass — except that one, of course — he wants Congress to pass a Constitutional amendment mandating an elected official's shorter time in office. In other words, Rand Paul loves the Constitution so much that he wants to change it. But this poses a slight problem: Mitch McConnell has been a Senator since 1984. So Paul would have to support him while also trying to overthrow him.
Also, as many have pointed out in the past, term limits often mean that our legislators don't know what they're talking about, thus giving even more power to the lobbyists and the bureaucracy.
The pursuit of purity is always a dangerous thing, whether it's prohibition or Mao's Great Leap Forward. But the deep confusion that has overtaken even the smartest Republicans seems impervious to logic. Consider the case of Ross Douthat, the latest Times' candidate for the "intelligent conservative" slot once held by William Safire. On Monday, he wrote an attention-grabbing column called "The Great Consolidation." "From Washington to Athens," he wrote, "the economic crisis is producing consolidation rather than revolution, the entrenchment of authority rather than its diffusion, and the concentration of power in the hands of the same elite that presided over the disasters in the first place."
In Greece, for example, the European Union put in strict rules and deficit-reduction demands in exchange for a trillion-dollar bailout. As Douthat put it (without mentioning the deficit-reduction part): "A crisis created by hasty, elite-driven integration will have led, inexorably, to further integration and a more powerful elite."
This is the perverse logic of meritocracy. Once a system grows sufficiently complex, it doesn't matter how badly our best and brightest foul things up. Every crisis increases their authority, because they seem to be the only ones who understand the system well enough to fix it.
To which you can only say: well, duh. It's all very pleasant and American to rail against elites, but nobody wants Joe the Plumber in charge of the economy. He'd still be trying to figure out the difference between M1 and M2 as all our M turned into pocket change. Most of us also prefer doctors who have been to medical school and nuclear plant operators who are not Homer Simpson. This is why the very best that the Tea Party's new "Contract from America" will achieve — on today's primary day or any other — is exactly what the old "Contract with America" achieved: minor, temporary reductions... and the increasing bitterness of fools who got fooled again.


Ranking Disney’s 55 Animated Features: From Worst to First, Part 8

Walt Disney Feature Animation has released 55 animated films, with incredible films and classics throughout the list, since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937. But only one film is universally regarded by animation scholars and historians as Walt’s true masterpiece. Released in 1940, it’s a film that continues to stand the test of time due to its unforgettable combination of sight and sound, unprecedented leaps forward in the art of animation, some of the greatest character animation by the true masters of the art form ever put into a film, and songs that continue to resonate and stir the imagination today. That film is Walt Disney’s second animated film, a milestone in filmmaking that shows Walt and his studio firing on all cylinders, at the height of their creative genius–a film about a little wooden puppet who wants to be a real boy.

#1. PINOCCHIO (1940). “When You Wish Upon a Star” has become such an indelible part of the Disney mythos that it’s hard to believe the song hasn’t always existed, springing up in perfect form the minute Walt was born in that small house on Tripp Avenue in Chicago. The idea of wishing and hoping for dreams to come true is part of the Disney legend, but it took hard work and incredible dedication to make his studio thrive and grow. It took Walt and his team throwing themselves wholeheartedly into an adaptation of Pinocchio, a story that began as a series of morality tales for Italian children, for this, his greatest film, to come to life.

The full story of the making of this masterpiece is best told in Pinocchio: The Making of the Disney Epic, by J.B. Kaufman. It’s an incredible historical document, due to the extensive notes taken during meetings and story sessions, but it’s also a deep dive into the amount of creativity was unleashed by Walt Disney and the rest of the studio at the height of their creative powers. Flush from the worldwide success of Snow White, the studio was growing (and moving to the current location in Burbank), and it seemed like the sky was the limit. Walt encouraged his artists and animators to try anything, to go for broke, and to push their art beyond what they had already achieved with the story of the princess.

The film didn’t have an easy start. Early versions of the title character were modeled closely on Carlo Collodi’s character in the book, who is rude, obnoxious, and extremely selfish. The original style of the character kept to the wooden puppet look of the book, and as animation progressed, Walt grew more to dislike the wooden boy. If he didn’t like him, then neither would audiences. Young animator Milt Kahl solved the dilemma by designing a new version, which basically removed the woodenness, giving Pinocchio the appearance of a little boy–which then resolved the character issue. Instead of a worldly-wise jerk, Pinocchio is instead a naïve innocent, and the events that come about happen to him because of his lack of understanding of the ways of the world–not because he is deliberately rotten.

Of course, this meant that Pinocchio would need a guide to help him along the journey, and Collodi’s novel gave inspiration in the form of a nameless cricket who scolds the puppet for his bad choices. In the book, this makes Pinocchio so angry that he kills the cricket–who later haunts the puppet. Wisely ignoring that aspect of the story, Disney and the story team created Jiminy Cricket, brilliantly designed and animated by Ward Kimball. Jiminy is one of the greatest Disney creations, and he nearly steals the movie from the main character. Perfectly voiced by vaudevillian and early film star Cliff Edwards, Jiminy Cricket acts as the audience’s guide through the film as well, narrating the story and commenting on the action as it progresses. Wisely, Walt encouraged Kimball to remove most of what made the cricket actually look like a cricket, making the character less bug-like. This change in characterization helps Jiminy become a symbol of friendship, trust, and warmth (and explains his nearly second-billing status to Mickey Mouse as corporate spokesman). He also sets the standard for future Disney “sidekicks,” although he is much more than that to Pinocchio. Without Jiminy, there would be no mice in Cinderella, no Timon and Pumbaa in The Lion King, and no Olaf in Frozen.

Pinocchio‘s story is easily one of Disney’s darkest, with a quartet of bad guys out to keep Pinocchio not only from the straight and narrow, but from freedom. The Fox and the Cat may seem fun and silly at first, but they have no qualms about selling Pinocchio to Stromboli for a life of servitude, and hesitate at nothing to do it again when the Coachmen enlists their help to get boys to go to Pleasure Island. Stromboli is a pretty strong caricature of an Italian gypsy, and he even seems benevolent at first. Animated to perfection by Bill Tytla, it’s clear that the showman has a very strong angry current running beneath his bluster, and his threat to chop Pinocchio into firewood when he is no longer useful is clearly not just a threat. The Coachman, though, is truly a dark and twisted character who lures boys into “making a jackass” out of themselves, literally. His thrill for what he does (witness his transformation when he says, “They don’t come back–as boys!“) as well as his lack of concern (his interaction with poor Alexander, who can still talk) is truly evil. Whereas Stromboli is clearly cruel, the Coachman is sadistic. And, unlike any other Disney film, the bad guys get away. Nobody makes them pay for their crimes. And while we feel glad that Pinocchio escaped, what about the hundreds of other boys at Pleasure Island who did not escape, and were sent to the salt mines? That’s darker than even the darkest moment in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The design of the film itself is a fantastic representation of the attention to excellence, with every part of Geppetto’s woodcarving shop, Stromboli’s wagon, and even the city streets of Pinocchio’s village filled with rich details. Much of this is due to the influence of artist Gustaf Teneggren, a Swiss-born illustrator who had joined the studio during the making of Snow White. Although he only contributed a few elements to that film, his highly detailed style of illustration, full of rich woodwork and cobblestone streets, is felt throughout Pinocchio, giving it a very distinct flavor unlike any other Disney animated film. Only Sleeping Beauty would see the art direction control so much of the look of the film, but unlike that movie, Pinocchio would not be overwhelmed by Tennegren’s style. Instead, it’s a perfect combination of style and story. The camera moves slowly enough through the spaces to hint at the richly detailed world, fully lived in, and the audience is left wanting more time to explore the nooks and crannies of this world and its unique inhabitants.

Walt left nothing to chance and had studio model makers build working models of the cuckoo clocks in Geppetto’s workshop for the animators to study. In addition, the studio moved beyond creating just drawn “character models” for the animators to refer to as they worked. In a practice that is still used today on both tradition and computer-animated films, maquettes were created to give artists a 3D model to look at and study as they drew the characters. To create lifelike motion for Stromboli’s gypsy wagon and the Coachman’s carriage, models were also built for study–but due to the difficulty of animating a realistic moving vehicle, the artists went to even greater lengths. The vehicles were filmed on miniature set using stop motion animation first, then each frame was transferred onto a traditional cel using an early Xerox photocopy process. The cels were then painted on the back and overlaid on top of background images with the cels of the characters. The shot was then completed using a special type of camera. All this work for merely a few seconds of screen time, but Walt wanted nothing to get in the way of the “illusion of life.”

Taken for granted by audiences today, but one of the key standouts of this groundbreaking film, is the effects animation–the “stuff” that brings the film to true life. Flickering candles and flames, incredible rain and lightning, the twinkling wand of the Blue Fairy–every scene comes to life due to the incredible efforts of Disney’s effects animators who stopped at nothing to help the film come to life. A favorite example is Geppetto’s kitten, Figaro, whose whiskers and shading was done with white chalk on top of already painted cels. But nowhere is the amazing skill of effects artists evident than in the water effects during the climactic escape from Monstro.

For sheer scope, there’s nothing in the film that beats the water effects in Pinocchio. Today, no company would spend the amount of time and man hours to create an overwhelmingly beautiful–and terrifying–set of effects, but Sandy Strother did nothing but water effects for an entire year of his career. It’s incredible because it is detailed where it needs to be, impressionistic when it needs to be. Every drop of water explodes or move as it would in real life, but not replicating the exact way it does in the real world. Like the animated characters, the animated water helps tell the story, giving emotional depth to the chase. It’s not “lifelike” water, but it fulfills the illusion of life. As Genevieve Koskiput it, “This is the power of animation, to mold and morph reality to function as something familiar, yet fantastical.”

In two more areas, Pinocchio represented the best of what Disney and his team could do. The first is in the film’s unmatchable cinematography, which moved beyond what had even been attempted in Snow White, taking the film into the style and look of a live-action epic. The incredible “multiplane camera” that Ub Iwerks developed in the early 1930’s enabled Disney’s animation to do something animation, by it’s very nature, could not do: move in three dimensional space. In Pinocchio, this camera is used in nearly every shot. As Walt explained it on the Disneyland television show, the camera allowed every shot to be broken into several different levels (or “planes”), enabling the filmmakers complete control over how each level worked together.

There are many examples throughout the film, but the greatest, and truly one of the greatest sequences ever animated, is a 45 second shot that begins the morning after Pinocchio comes to life. 67 feet of animated brilliance, with the camera swooping and panning above and around and even through buildings as the village comes to life. As the Walt Disney Family museum tweeted during the launch of its new Art of Pinocchio exhibit: 🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞🎞. That’s how many frames of film this impressive sequence takes–taking months to film, at great cost–just to help the film feel more “alive.”

Finally, Pinocchio contains some of the greatest music–and songs–ever to come out of the Walt Disney Studio. Beyond the justifiably famous “When You Wish Upon a Star,” which never sounds better than when sung by the lonely cricket, the songs move the story along, give individual characters a chance to shine, and highlight the film’s bleak undertone once Pinocchio leaves the safety of Geppetto’s home. “Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee,” ostensibly a celebration of the actor’s life, but used to lure the puppet from his intended purpose and into slavery; “I’ve Got No Strings,” which Pinocchio sings onstage surrounded by puppets not as fortunate or lucky as him; “Little Woodenhead,” sung by Geppetto to introduce his “son” to the other inhabitants of the house, shows just how sad the old toymaker is. “Give a Little Whistle” has the worst intro of any song in any Disney film (Jiminy literally says, “Let’s sing it!” right before they do just that), yet it’s infectious, very showbiz, and gives the audience the assurance that whatever Pinocchio faces, he will have at least one friend by his side. Leigh Harline and Ned Washington won Disney’s first “competitive” Oscars for the score and “When You Wish Upon a Star,” and they couldn’t have been more deserving.

Pinocchio was a gamble on every level, because it wasn’t another princess film. It didn’t have the cute dwarfs going for it to add humor. It wasn’t as familiar a tale to American audiences as the fairy tale. Yet none of this held Walt and his team back. They embraced it and decided to shoot for the moon. Pinocchio was a box office failure on its first release, but in the nearly 80 years since, it’s been heralded for being more than just a great film of Walt’s golden age, but his studio’ greatest masterpiece: a stunning achievement in an untested art form that combined all the tricks and skills at his command.


I strongly encourage the Mayor and Council to move forward to preserve South Central Corridor. It is the only decision that will preserve the will of the voters, not jeopardize the funding grant from the Federal Transportation Authority, and reinforce the value of light rail in Phoenix. Our leaders must stay the course and continue support for this important project. It is the only prudent course of action.
Arizona already licenses the full complement of health professions needed to offer patients an integrative approach to address chronic pain. It is time for health professions to work together for the best interests of our patients. Arizona has the physicians and practitioners needed to be at the forefront in developing integrative approaches to treating patients with chronic pain. Do we have the will to make it a reality?
Politics always gets heated in an election year. And Democrats and their well-funded activist army want to make tax cuts the wedge issue. That's fine. While they try to ride their shopworn talking points to victory, Arizona voters will respond with something real that's on the line: their bigger paychecks.
What if we provided substance abuse treatment from the point of admission, and cognitive behavioral treatment? What if we just started with drug possession offenders? Re-entry programs are showing significant promise in reducing recidivism and so are diversion and deferred prosecution programs utilizing substance abuse treatment and cognitive behavioral therapies. We should be implementing similar programs over the duration of an inmate’s incarceration.
If Arizona started on these reforms now and cut the prison population in half by 2025, we would have saved taxpayers more than $1 billion. That’s money that could be spent on education, parks, libraries, and health services. More importantly, if Arizona started on these reforms now, we would prevent countless people from entering a system that destroys lives, families, and communities. It’s time for Arizona lawmakers to invest in people, not prisons.
What Arizona’s charter school revolution has taught us is that educational approaches can be as diverse as the ever-changing needs of Arizona’s students. And thanks to our governor and state Legislature, those diverse needs are being served. It would be a shame for parents and students if the charter school revolution came to an end because a handful of anti-charter advocates managed to convince an even smaller group of reporters that Arizona neither needs nor deserves choice in education. After all, if charter schools were not doing a good job overall, why are so many students flocking to them?
In November, Arizona voters will decide whether expanding the state’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program makes sense. It was originally started to help the parents of disabled children, foster children, or parents who are active military. It evolved, with little controversy, to include adopted children, children attending D/F rated schools, and those in Native American communities. About 5,000 children are now using the scholarships to attend private schools or be home-schooled, if they don’t feel the public school system is right for their special, unique needs.

For those who have yet to make it to Pisa, Italy, the Leaning Tower of Niles, located in Niles, Illinois, provides a similar – albeit scaled down – experience of the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Located just outside the city of Chicago, the Leaning Tower of Niles is a half-sized replica of the famous tower in Pisa. It is made of steel, concrete and precast stone and is 94 ft (28 m) tall with a 7.4 ft (2.2 m) tilt. Completed in 1934 by Robert Ilg, the Niles tower was originally intended to store water for public swimming pools and to serve as a recreation park for the employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company.
Ilg also erected the utility tower as a monument to honor the famous astronomer Galileo, who was rumored to have utilized the original Tower of Pisa in his physics experiments. The land was donated to the YMCA in 1960 and, in 1991, the town of Niles became a sister city to Pisa, Italy.
The oldest house in Chicago certainly doesn't look the part and there are some who say it doesn't deserve its title either.
Chicago's North Park Village was once the largest municipal sanatorium in the country.
A mysterious demonic figure peers down from its perch within the gorgeous Chester Cathedral.


According to information from sources published by the New York Post, the social network Facebook and the AOL internet portal could be in talks to evaluate the possibility of launching a strategic alliance between both companies with the aim of boosting their advertising business in Internet.
The possible alliance between the two companies could make it easier for Facebook to sell ads and advertise through AOL. In spite of this, none of the companies has spoken about it, omitting any kind of comment on this hypothetical strategic agreement.
It is more than evident that with the growth of Facebook, after overcoming the milestone of 500 million users, one of the main objectives is without doubt to find new strategic partners through which to manage and market its advertising stock, taking advantage of its time the important increase in advertising investment of its most important advertisers.
In this sense and specifically, the largest Facebook advertisers have multiplied ten times the cost compared to last year as recently stated the company’s own chief of operations, Sheryl Sandberg, who also said that some of these companies increased by 2000 % your advertising investment compared to last year.
Interestingly both Tim Armstrong, CEO of AOL, Sheryl Sandberg and David Fischer, director of sales of advertising and operations on Facebook, previously worked at the company Google, which could facilitate the understanding to consolidate this possible agreement.


If you’re looking for the absolute best gaming monitor money can buy, you’re going to love the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ.
It supports 4K up to 144Hz and offers NVIDIA G-SYNC as well as true HDR viewing experience with full-array local dimming, stellar brightness, and wide color gamut.
Additionally, it features a premium design quality, RGB LED lighting, and more nifty gaming features.
Of course, all this is going to cost you, and there are some things you should be aware of before buying this gaming machine.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ monitor is based on an IPS panel with 10-bit color depth (8-bit + FRC), 178-degree viewing angles, and a 4ms response time speed.
It’s factory-calibrated to Delta E ≤ 3 and covers 97% of the DCI-P3 color space and 99% of the Adobe RGB making it fit for professional color-critical work.
So, if you’ve been after a monitor that excels at both gaming and professional use, you’ve found your holy grail.
Moving on, the ASUS PG27UQ supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) and has the display capabilities required for a flawless HDR viewing experience.
With a contrast ratio of 50,000:1 and a peak luminance of 1,000-nits for HDR content, details in highlights and shadows become incredibly vivid making for an otherworldly picture quality.
In order to deliver such impeccable image quality, the monitor features a full-array local dimming with 384 individual zones that help dim the backlight where it’s needed.
Moreover, the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 144Hz HDR display uses the quantum-dot technology for the superior color gamut and contrast.
Finally, 4K Ultra HD resolution ensures that there’s maximum detail and plenty of screen real estate as such high resolution on a 27″ monitor results in a high pixel density.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ claims to support 4K at 144Hz and HDR.
Now, with the current-gen hardware, you will hardly get passed 98Hz/FPS with G-SYNC at 4K HDR and decent settings anyway. So, it’s not a big issue at the moment, but will be in the future.
This raises the question whether the ASUS PG27UQ is worth it right now, or should you wait a few years for the next-gen GPUs that could actually utilize the full potential of the monitor by which time the price of the monitor would also be lower.
Well, if you want the best gaming experience possible right now, you’ll have to pay the premium; With non-HDR games, you can enjoy 4K up to 144Hz and with HDR games, you can choose to sacrifice a bit of refresh rate for image quality or vise versa.
Everything else about the monitor is top-notch; the ASUS PG27UQ input lag is a bit lower than 9ms, the response time of 4ms effectively removes trailing artifacts, and there’s minimal IPS glow and backlight bleeding, and no dead pixels whatsoever.
Finally, G-SYNC HDR variable refresh rate technology ensures that the gameplay is buttery smooth even at lower framerates, without screen tearing and stuttering and no noticeable input lag penalty even for HDR gaming.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 4K HDR monitor offers an abundance of features.
You will find ASUS’ GameVisual and GamePlus features which consist of customizable crosshair overlays, an on-screen timer and FPS counter as well as FPS, RTS, RPG, Racing, Cinema, sRGB, and Custom picture presets.
In addition, the monitor is flicker-free and has a low blue light filter, so you can game for hours to an end without straining your eyes.
Another cool feature of the ASUS ROG PG27UQ is that it can to emit the ‘Republic Of Gamers’ logos as well as customizable lighting onto your desk and/or wall.
Moreover, the ASUS Aura Sync RGB lighting allows you to synchronize monitor’s ambient lighting with the other Aura Sync compatible peripherals. The Aura Sync technology offers numerous different glowing patterns and color combinations.
There’s also a light sensor that can automatically adjust screen brightness according to the ambient lighting.
Fans of the backlight strobing technology will be disappointed to find out that the ASUS PG27UQ does not feature NVIDIA ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur).
The appearance of the monitor may appear too flashy to some, even when the light projection and RGB LEDs are turned off, but the design itself is very steady with a lot smooth ergonomic options including -/+ 35° swivel, 90° pivot, up to 120mm height adjustment, -5°/20° tilt, and 100 x 100mm VESA mount pattern.
Connectivity includes an HDMI 2.0, a DisplayPort 1.4, a headphones jack, and a dual-USB 3.0 hub. Both display connectors support HDCP 2.2, so you can also stream protected content from Netflix, Amazon Video, etc in 4K Ultra HD resolution. Also, the screen has an anti-glare matte coating which eliminates reflections.
The MSRP for the ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ 27″ gaming monitor is currently $1,999.99 which makes it one of the most expensive gaming monitors.
Alternatively, you can get the Acer Predator X27 for the same price which is based on the same 4K 144Hz HDR panel. However, it lacks pivot adjustment and has less customizable RGB lighting, though it does have built-in speakers and an extra two USB 3.0 ports.
This high-end gaming monitor is obviously aimed at those with deeper pockets, while the rest will have to wait for the price to drop or simply go for a cheaper monitor.
You may be interested in the Dell UP2718Q which is almost as twice as cheap professional monitor with the same 384-zone FALD and true HDR support, but it has no gaming features such as G-SYNC and it’s limited to 4K at 60Hz.
On balance, the ASUS PG27UQ, along with the Acer X27, is definitely one of the best gaming monitors ever made, but just like all ground-breaking technology, it will cost you.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ delivers an otherworldly image quality and a flawless performance. Moreover, it features a premium design quality and a plethora of gaming features. Its price, however, is not as appealing.

While in South Korea, the Kansas head coach sank six straight shots.
Since 2003, Kansas head coach Bill Self has been consistently producing championship caliber teams and players. And though he may be 52 years old, he apparently still has plenty of game left in him. While in South Korea for the World University Games, Self showed some students what he can still do. With a ball in his hand and a crowd present, Self drained six straight long-range two jumpers.
In the big picture, Kansas’ trip to Ohio State on Saturday is simply a good game against two top-10 teams, a national title contender visiting another title contenders gym.


You’re working on a snippet of code, and out of the blue, you happen to need a class of which you should only have one instance of, and which needs to be referenced by other classes.
Sounds like a job for a singleton! Or is it?
Realistically speaking, if you’re using a singleton solely to store state, you are doing it wrong. What you’ve made isn’t a singleton — what you’ve made is a bunch of glorified globals. Using singletons to store state seems appealing at first, because you want to avoid using a global and every programmer knows that globals are evil. But using a singleton in this case is just abstracting the globals one layer back so that you can feel happy about your code not having globals.
Furthermore, having globals will make your code unpredictable and bug-prone. This becomes exponentially worse as the number of dependencies in your singleton increases. If you are using a singleton because you need its global properties, it’s because you are not taking advantage of dependency injection (DI) / inversion of control (IoC). You should be passing the state around with IoC, not by creating a giant global and passing around the global fields.
Singletons can’t be easily tested when they are integrated with other classes. For every class that uses a singleton, you will have to manually mock the singleton and have it return the desired test values. On top of this, singletons are notoriously difficult to debug when multi-threading is involved. Because your singleton is a major dependence for several classes, not only is your code tightly coupled, but you will also suffer from hard-to-find multi-threading bugs due to the uncertain nature of globals.
Occasionally, you may be tempted to use a singleton to perform an expensive IO action exactly once, and then store the results. An incredibly common example of this is using a singleton for a database connection. But doing so in addition to having multi-threading will cause massive headaches unless your connection is guaranteed to be thread-safe.
In general, database concurrency will not be easy to implement if you are using a singleton for the connection. What you really want is a database connection pool. By caching the connection, you avoid having to repeatedly close and open new connections, which is expensive. As an added bonus, if you use a connection pool, you simply won’t need to use a singleton.
You just need a data transfer object. No need for a singleton here. And worse, giving your singleton access to methods that can modify the data makes your singleton a god object. It knows how to do everything, knows all of the implementation details, and is likely coupled to basically everything, violating almost every software development principle.
Worse yet, using a singleton to provide context is a fatal mistake. If a singleton provides context to all the other classes, then that means every class that interacts with the singleton theoretically has access to all the states/contexts in your program.
Actually, this is really one of the few acceptable use for a singleton. Why? Because a logger does not pass around data to other classes, provides no context, and there is generally minimal coupling between the logger and the classes that require the logger. All the logger needs to know is that given some log request or string, it should output the log as a file or to the console.
As you can see, a logger will provide nothing to classes that require it — there is nothing to grab from the logger. Therefore, it’s impossible to use the logger as a glorified global container. And best of all, loggers are incredibly easy to test due to how simple they are. These properties make loggers an excellent choice for a singleton.
In the future, you’ll probably find a scenario where you’re considering using a singleton for any of the reasons above. But hopefully, you’ll now realize that singletons are not the answer — inversion of control is.
In Python, there are two types of arguments : Positional arguments and keyword arguments.
A positional argument is a normal argument in Python. You pass in some data as input, and that becomes your positional argument.
There’s nothing unique or inherently special about positional arguments, but let’s say you have a function that evaluates your pet. Is your pet happy? Is your pet healthy? Is your pet playful?
That’s fine and dandy, but what does it look like when we call the function?
The result is correct, but the function call is absolutely unreadable.
A reader who has never read the documentation for evaluatePet will have a difficult time understanding what it does. From a quick glance, it takes three booleans. But what do those booleans describe? Whether it’s alive? Whether it’s a ghost? Whether it’s a flying ten thousand feet tall purple dinosaur?
The solution to this issue of readability is to avoid using a positional argument, and instead use a keyword argument.
A keyword argument is an argument that follows a positional argument, and allows the user to pass in arguments by explicitly stating the argument’s name, and then assigning a value to it.
In other words, you can call evaluatePet(True, True, False) in any of the following ways, without changing anything in the evalulatePet function.
#Switching the order of the arguments.
#the order can be anything you like.
#are AFTER the positional arguments.
However, there are some things that you can’t do.
#"Positional argument follows keyword argument."
#Also will error for the same reason.
It would be a huge understatement to say that this is the only thing that keyword arguments can do.
You can also load in defaults.
Now, all three arguments become optional, and become automatically assigned to False if that specific argument has not been assigned.
#and the rest will automatically be False.
Convenient, isn’t it? You can give your function a ton of default values, and then allow the user to change any defaults they don’t like, without requiring them to rewrite all the default values.
Underneath all of this magic, Python created a dictionary with a key value pair, where the keys are the argument names, and the values are the values you assign to those argument names.
If you want to prove this fact, you can use a true keyword argument by putting a double asterisk before an argument.
In other words, Python has been converting evaluatePet’s arguments into a dictionary.
Naturally, Python wants the group of keyword arguments together, because it is cheaper to lump all the arguments together if they are all within one specific range (and not broken up between multiple ranges). In addition to this, Python can’t accept a positional argument after a keyword argument because it is impossible to determine which argument you are referring to. Are you referring to the first argument? Or the argument after the keyword argument?
These two reasons combined are why you can’t put in positional arguments, and then keyword arguments, and then another positional argument.
Since there are only three arguments, and two of them are keyword arguments, the third argument must be “isPlayful”.
So while Python could potentially have allowed this special case to work, their mantra of sticking strongly to rules prevents you from doing so.
In a nutshell, keyword arguments are simply augments to Python’s core philosophy that “readability counts”. Without keyword arguments, readers must examine the documentation to understand what the arguments mean, especially if there are many arguments. The use of defaults also makes functions shorter if the user is unlikely to modify the defaults.
Shorter argument lists? Argument defaults? Understandable parameters? That’s elegant.
You’re sitting at your desk, glaring at your monitor, but it glares back at you with equal determination.
Every change you make introduces new bugs, and fixing a bug causes another bug to pop up.
You don’t understand why things are randomly breaking, and the lines of code just increase every day.
However, by coding in a rigorous and specific fashion, you can prevent many of these issues simply by being slightly paranoid. This paranoia can save you hours in the future, just by dedicating a few extra seconds to include some additional safeguards.
So without further ado, let’s jump right into the top five tips for safer code.
As you call foo and bar and other functions, all of which depended on garbage_input, you find that everything has turned into garbage. As a result, functions will start throwing errors a few dozen passes down the line, and things will become very difficult to debug.
Another common mistake is attempting to correct the user’s input in potentially ambiguous cases, which leads to the second tip.
Imagine you had a box that exported values from 0 to 1 on a display, depending on the number the user passed in.
The technique shown above is known as clamping, which is basically restricting the value to a certain range. In this case, it is clamped to 0 and 1. However, the problem with the above example is that it is now impossible to debug the code.
If the user passed in bad input, you would get a clamped answer, instead of an error, and if the calculateValue function was buggy, you would never know. It could be slightly inflating the value, and you would still never know, because the values would be clamped.
As an exaggerated example, if calculateValue returned 900,000,000, all you would see is “1”. Instead of embracing and fixing bugs, this tactic throws them under the carpet in the hopes that no one will notice.
If your code is going to fail, then fail fast and fix it fast. Don’t try to polish garbage. Polished garbage is still garbage.
Many programmers already adhere to this principle, but some do not.
Since Python prevents the bug caused by double checking a boolean value, I will be using Java, as the bug can only happen in languages where assignment is possible in if statements.
Aside from being redundant and taking up extra characters, this practice can cause horrible bugs, as very few programmers will bother to glance twice at an if statement that checks for true/false.
At first glance, you would expect it to print out “1 + 1 is not equal to 3!”. However, on closer inspection, we see that it prints out “1 + 1 equals 3!” due to a very silly but possible mistake.
The programmer had accidentally set someBoolean to true instead of comparing someBoolean to true, causing the wrong output.
In languages such as Python, assignment in an if statement will not work. Guido van Rossum explicitly made it a syntax error due to the prevalence of programmers accidentally causing assignments in if statements instead of comparisons.
This is a nifty trick that piggy backs off the previous tip. If you’ve ever done defensive programming, then you have most likely seen this before.
Flip the order such that null is first.
Null is immutable, meaning you can’t assign null to the object. If you try to set null to obj, Java will throw an error.
As a result, you can prevent the silly mistake of accidentally causing unintentional assignment during equality checks. Naturally, if you set obj to null, the compiler will throw an error because it’s checking a null object when it expects a boolean.
However, if you are passing around methods inside the if statement, it can become dangerous, particularly methods that will return a boolean type. The problem is doubly bad if you have overloaded methods.
In this example, the user expects foo to be passed in a boolean of whether or not x is equal to a constant number, 5.
However, instead of comparing the two values, x is set to 5. The expected value if the comparison was done correctly would be false, but if x is set to CONSTANT_NUM, then the value will end up being true instead.
It doesn’t matter what language you use, always leave your uninitialized variables as null, None, nil, or whatever your language’s equivalent is.
The only exception to this rule is booleans, which should almost always be set to false when initialized. The exception is for booleans with names such as keepRunning, which you will want to set initially to true.
In particular, for Python especially, if you have a list, make sure that you do not set it to an empty list.
The same also applies to strings.
There is a world of a difference between a null/None/nil list, and an empty list, and a world of a difference between a null/None/nil string, and an empty string.
An empty value means that the object was assigned an empty value on purpose, and was initialized.
A null value means that the object doesn’t have a value, because it has not been initialized.
In addition, it is good to have null errors caused by uninitialized objects.
It is unpleasant to say the least when an uninitialized string is set to “” and is prematurely passed into a function without being assigned a non-empty value.
As usual, garbage input will give you garbage output.
These five tips are not a magical silver bullet that will prevent you from making any bugs at all in the future. Even if you follow these five tips, you won’t suddenly have exponentially better code.
Good programming style, proper documentation, and following common conventions for your programming language come first. These little tricks will only marginally decrease your bug count. However, they also only take about an extra few seconds of your time, so the overhead is negligible.
Sacrificing a few seconds of your time for slightly safer code is a trade most people would take any day, especially if it can increase production speed and prevent silly mistakes.
Your friend, Ruby, goes out and buys Java a pet duck. But wait, on closer inspection, it’s not a duck at all! It just walks like a duck.
And quacks like a duck.
“What’s the matter?” Ruby asks.
“It’s not a duck!” Java complains, distraught that the pet has no inheritance relations with the Duck class.
So what is duck typing?
Duck typing is a feature that allows a language to call a method on an object, if it has the method. Ruby doesn’t care what the object is, but rather, what methods the object has.
However, a caveat of duck typing is that the it tends to only be built-in to the language if the language handles type checking during runtime. This means that duck typing will only work on dynamically typed languages, such as Ruby. In languages like Java and C++, type checking is done during compile-time. As a result, if there is a type conflict, the program will not even compile. Languages that do type-checking during compile-time are called statically typed languages.
The type (int) is explicitly stated, which means that Java checks for types during compile-time, making it a statically typed languages.
Ruby sees that x was assigned a number at runtime. Since x was assigned a number, Ruby automatically knows that x must be a Fixnum.
First, we need two different objects that have the same method name. However, the method can’t be given to the object via the same superclass, because it would instead be inheritance.
Let’s take a look at a simple example of duck typing.
puts "I'm not a duck, but... Quack!"
I'm not a duck, but... Quack!
In Ruby’s mind, the Alien instance and the Duck instance are essentially the same. When we called the try_quack method, Ruby wanted an object that had a quack method.
In this case, when we passed in the Duck instance, Ruby saw that the Duck object would quack, so it called the Duck instance’s quack method.
For the Alien, even though the Alien class has nothing to do with the Duck class, it still has a quack method. As a result, Ruby happily calls the Alien class’s quack method.
Duck typing is a powerful feature of Ruby that allows you to call methods on seemingly different objects, as long as those objects have the same method names. As a result, there is no need for inheritance. You simply call the method, and if the object has it, it will work.
Ruby doesn’t care who the object is, but rather what it is.
You open your favorite programming IDE, and right there. A glorious mess of spaghetti code. You have no clue what it means, and you can’t understand a single thing.
Bad code can waste precious hours of time, when it really should have only taken a few minutes to understand the code if it were refactored and cleaned up.
So today, I’ll teach you, in five simple tips, how to spare other programmers from facing a giant plate of spaghetti.
Everyone knows this, but few actually do it correctly. First of all, and this is the critical, stop shortening your variable names. Yes, you can shorten the word “minimum” to min, but if you’re working on an application that handles time, your reader may think min refers to minutes. In particular, if you’re shortening a word, and that shortened word can possibly refer to more than one word, don’t do it.
Readers may also be confused if your variable names don’t actually say what you mean.
For example, imagine if you created a variable called “days”. What does that mean? Days elapsed? Days before something happened? The amount of days in the month? Be specific. Refactor days to daysElapsed, daysInMonth. Do NOT put a comment and write “days refers to the days elapsed since …”. That is absolutely nonsense. Make your variable names self-explanatory.
3. Keep It Simple, Stupid!
If you’re programming a certain function, be clear. Avoid using silly round-about ways. Especially avoid “clever” solutions. Clever and tricky solutions may be shorter or faster, but they can cripple reading speed. Usually, when people do these clever solutions, they will put comments everywhere to compensate for the fact that no one actually understands what they wrote, which ties into tip #1.
This principle also applies to re-inventing the wheel. If your language comes built-in with a feature, use it. Don’t re-implement a data structure that already exists. Often, it isn’t the programmer’s fault, though, since they might not know about the existence of a certain feature. However, this is not an excuse when you are working with other programmers. If what you wrote in 100 lines could be replaced by 1 line, then it should be refactored.
A good object is one that knows only what it should know, and no more.
A god object is one that knows too much, in particular, things that it shouldn’t.
For example, imagine you had a chair object. It should not know anything except for itself. If your chair knows your social-security number, how much money you make a year, and how many chairs there are around it, then your chair is either the world’s greatest secret spy agent, or it shouldn’t exist.
All variables in a class should be private, unless there is a very compelling reason for a variable to be public. There are very few reasons for a variable to be public, unless it is a global constant, such as Math.PI.
The inverse of this is also true. Stop exposing your privates! If your private variable does not require a getter, do not make a getter. You should be encapsulating your code.
If you have a rectangle class, and you only ever need its area, then don’t make a getter for its width or length. Just make a single public method that multiplies the private width and length variables.
Hide your implementation details! If you have a computer, and you just want to send an email, then there is no reason the user would need to know about the internal workings on the computer. The user doesn’t care how many volts the computer needs. The user doesn’t care about how many gigabytes of RAM the computer has. The user just wants to send an email. And your computer should allow them to do exactly that, in one simple function, without knowing anything else about the computer.
Remember these five points, and you’re sure to write cleaner code.


Justin Bieber and his entourage were asked to leave the Mayan archaeological site of Tulum after he apparently tried to climb onto or among the ruins. This “no talent bum” believes in his total entitlement and his antics go on and on.

I know the world has gone nuts and here is a little more proof: Punk Bieber’s album “Purpose,” has the most songs in the top 100 in a single week. Bieber boasts 17 songs on the Dec. 5 edition of Billboard’s Hot 100, passing the record of 14 songs previously held by the Beatles (on April 11, 1964) and Drake (on March 7 and Oct. 17 of this year).

Justin Bieber’s Purpose will beat One Direction’s Made in the A.M. in the highly watched race to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard 200.

Billboard won’t announce its final sales tallies until Sunday, but Hits, a rival music industry trade publication, has already announced its final numbers. The two sources are usually very close in their findings.

According to Hits, Bieber’s album sold 504K copies in its first week, while 1D’s album sold 414K.

Get This: For a Justin Bieber Total Experience, it will cost. It is called The Ultimate Purpsoe Experience. For $2ooo.. samolians, one gets a barricaded seat at the end of the runway and that smuck, I mean individual will be closest to Punk Bieber

and “Wait For It!, that lucky individual gets to take a “Selfie” with this no talent loser. Yes, it is a bit overpriced by at least $2000.00 dollars.


Bought this unit from Dealer, AVScience, and am now getting around to setting it up.
Started with the instructions in Sec tion 2.2 of the user manual, first checked/updated/installed all software listed under 2.2.1. Next it tells me to go to the "user downloads" section and then navigate to the 88a section where I am supposed to find two zip files to be downloaded and run on my computer.
Very simple problem: No software is listed for download in the DDRC 88a section, at least none shows up on my screen. So I can't even star with the utility software needed to check firmware and get the activation code for the calibration program.
Also when I click on ANY of the headings, no software appears under those either. It appears I'm being blocked from even seeing the software available let alone downloading it.
UPDATE: Found another posting on this board that suggests the problem is that my account is not "enabled" to allow seeing and downloading my software. I sent a help request to the company with my sales receipt attached.
I had the same problem this past weekend setting mine up. Go the website listed on the coupon they sent with the unit . Enter in the code just as it's shown and activate it. Once activated you should be see the software listed under the DDRC 88 section. The software did a FANTASTIC job on my system. The DDRC 88 is an amazing piece of work..
Last Edit: 3 years 5 months ago by rickcathey.
Unfortunately no coupon came with this unit from AVScience. I'll have to hope they see this soon and send me that information. I did send them a copy of my receipt from AVScience and also AVScience is an official dealer.
I have high hopes for it as my room isn't optimal.
While I have you here, how did you deal with the requirement of short USB cables? My equipment is in front of the room but the seating area where I have to make the measurements is like 14 feet back. I was thinking to try using long audio cables initially to get the unit closer to the microphone.
I have a 20x20 room so I had to buy two extension cables. One for the usb of the 88 to pc and one usb repeater cable to my mic.
I bought these and they both worked great..
I did and Mike at AVScience is handling it for me. Just a short delay. We're used to that in Mexico (I live south of Guadalajara) and have figured out a work around for the short cables. You would think these guys would look at their own diagrams and realize they need to offer an option for longer cables.


The IP eXchange or IPX has come a long way from its inception and the IPX providers' offering is constantly evolving. Whether in terms of services, features or network, the capabilities of the majority of the IPX providers now boast a full range of voice and data IPX services. The question to be answered is therefore: What is next for IPX?
Through the course of this 110 page report, we clarify the capabilities and service features offered by the IPX providers, providing a detailed picture of the current status of the marketplace with facts and analysis. We also detail our expectations relating to the future developments of IPX. The research involved the completion of a comprehensive survey by 19 IPX providers, followed by, in many cases, an interview with key decision makers in that company.


When women support other women incredible things happen.
You are gonna flourish while you make other flourish.
Sorority teach us to abandon our egos, to truly see others and reflect on their personal stories.
Other women are not your competition. I will never get tired of saying this.
