이신문이 정말 재미 있네요.

In campaign games, you go through a series of scenarios, in which your leaders will either have to escape, defeat the enemy leaders or to resist capture. Not only should you try to achieve the objective as fast as possible because there is money bonus to gain depending on how early you finish the scenario, but you should use each scenario to build up a balanced and formidable army so as to face tougher battles ahead.

Each unit has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, elves have better defense in forest and can move through forest faster than other types of units. An interesting twist to this tactical strategy game is that a unit strength or its effectiveness in a battle is affected by the time of the day (day-night cycle) and the unit's alignment, which can be either lawful, neutral or chaotic. During the day, lawful units fight better and during the night, chaotic units fight better. Units can also advanced to higher level units through gaining experience in battle.

I find myself when playing this game to do the best to protect my higher level units such that on once occasion, when my paladin is killed, I replayed the previous turn trying to change that outcome! I was able to changed it by sending my leader instead to the front to be hacked by undeads! (Note: once your leader died, you lose. The leader in this game is usually not strong because the leader is more than often at the back of the battle in which he can recruit new units (or recall existing units) at the keep and also because of the need to protect it.)

:)

The picture below shows the scenario at Crossroads, where the enemy finds my units too overwhelming, that they run away from battles! The enemy units try to kill my stray units instead! Good AI! :)

More screenshots from the final scenario.

A quick and messy battle ensues! All my recruited knights eventually fall in the battle.

The Great Dwarves are superb! Konrad and Delfador go for the lightly defended Asheviere.

I think I would have like the hit points to be deducted more proportionately, in ways less dependent on luck!

Horizontal eye movements are thought to cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more with one another, and communication between brain hemispheres is important for retrieving certain types of memories.

Recognition memory differs from recall memory in that people trying to recognize words tend to make false memory errors called source monitoring errors. This occurs when they recognize words but attribute their familiarity to the wrong source—they might think they just read the words, when they had actually heard them in a conversation earlier that day, for example.

Climate change is affecting the growth of fish, with those living in warmer, shallow waters growing faster and species in cooling deep ocean waters growing slower, according to an Australian study.

"Growth rates in the deep-water fish are slowing because water temperatures down there have been falling, apparently for the last several hundred years," oceanographer Thresher told Reuters on Friday.

"Fish growth rates are closely tied with water temperatures, so warming surface waters mean the shallow-water fish are growing more quickly, while the deep water fish are growing more slowly than they were a century ago."

Populations of large marine species are subject to two major stress factors, commercial fishing and climate change, and the heavy exploitation increases the sensitivity of species to environmental effects, said Thresher.

Changes in sea temperature were obtained from a 60-year-long record at Maria Island and by using 400-year-old deep-ocean corals to measure temperature at depth.

To gauge the growth rates of fish the scientists studied the earbones of eight fish species which show similar characteristics to the growth rings used to determine the age of a tree.

AFRICAN states have called for a 20-year ban on trade in ivory to protect the continent's elephants from poachers and possible extinction in the wild.

The African representatives lashed out at partial bans and quotas that have been implemented in the past.

“Every time CITES authorises the sale of limited quantities of ivory, we witness an increase in poaching and illegal trade,” Bourama Niagate, head of the delegation and of nature conservation in Mali, said.

“We are confronted with men who are very organised and better armed than our standing armies, and at the same time we are in charge of protecting hundreds of thousands of hectares of parks and preserves without even basic communication tools,” he said.

Some 20,000 elephants are killed by poachers every year, according to the document.

Illegal hunting has devastated elephant populations in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Congo, the DRC, as well as in Niger, Mali, Malawi and Chad, where poachers recently killed three park officials.

Archaeologists are uncovering a huge prehistoric "lost country" hidden below the North Sea.

This large plain disappeared below the water more than 8,000 years ago.

The Birmingham researchers have been using oil exploration technology to build a map of the once-inhabited area that now lies below the North Sea - stretching from the east coast of Britain up to the Shetland Islands and across to Scandinavia.

As the temperature rose and glaciers retreated and water levels rose, the inhabitants would have been pushed off their hunting grounds and forced towards higher land - including to what is now modern-day Britain.

"In 10,000 BC, hunter-gatherers were living on the land in the middle of the North Sea. By 6,000 BC, Britain was an island. The area we have mapped was wiped out in the space of 4,000 years," explains Professor Gaffney.

• Billions of bees have mysteriously vanished since late last year in the U.S.

• Disappearing bees have also been reported in Europe and Brazil

• One-third of the U.S. diet depends on pollination, mostly by honeybees

• Some beekeepers are losing 50 percent of their bees to the disorder

"What we're describing as colony collapse disorder is the rapid loss of adult worker bees from the colony over a very short period of time, at a time in the season when we wouldn't expect a rapid die-off of workers: late fall and early spring," Pettis said.

Experts may have found what's bugging the bees.

A fungus that hit hives in Europe and Asia may be partly to blame for wiping out colonies across the U.S.

Other researchers said Wednesday that they too had found the fungus, a single-celled parasite called Nosema ceranae, in affected hives from around the country — as well as in some hives where bees had survived. Those researchers have also found two other fungi and half a dozen viruses in the dead bees.

A new census estimates that only 25 to 34 wild Amur leopards remain—at least 66 fewer than are needed to ensure survival, experts say.

Weighing in at about 55 to 130 pounds (25 to 59 kilograms), the large cat once flourished along the Korean Peninsula, in the Russian Far East, and in northeastern China. But habitat fragmentation and the hunting of the leopard and its prey have eviscerated wild populations, conservationists say.

One of 34 Remaining Rare Leopards was found killed on April 20.

A slew of factors determine our behavior, social scientists say, including external factors, our mental states and the state of our brain.

There are, however, a few things that keep resurfacing when scientists review violent and aggressive actions by youth, including depression, anger and resentment, low self-esteem, feelings of victimization and sometimes serious psychiatric disorders.

“These are people who often suffer from mental illness, in this case there was evidence this guy was pretty depressed; they sometimes have difficulty telling what’s real and not real,” said Daniel Nelson, a psychiatrist who counsels children affected by trauma at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

But again, most mentally-disturbed individuals don’t pick up a gun and use it. “You can’t say they have isolated themselves and they are depressed, so they are going to turn into a mass murderer,” Nelson told LiveScience. “The problem is now you’ve labeled literally tens of thousands of people incorrectly, because most people who are depressed, isolated and can’t talk, don’t become mass murderers.”

Experts say Schools need systems to spot troubled kids. (article at Reuters)

Cho Seung-Hui, the 23-year-old Virginia Tech gunman, left some pretty clear warning signs, mental health experts said, but those details were never pieced together until after he killed 32 people and took his own life.

..

But most students and many faculty members do not know where to turn when they come across disturbing behavior.

"There's no systematic way for pieces of the puzzle to come together. This is a major factor in my view of why school shootings look so foreseeable after the fact," Borum said.

"It's because a lot of people knew pieces of information but nobody communicated with each other. After the fact, you've got it all ... and everybody says, 'How could this have happened?'" he added.

"Everybody just thinks about their own little node." And the problem is not just limited to schools.

This reminds me of the famous bystander effect (I read it in The Tipping Point). I do not have to act because someone else will?

And also The Power of Context (the importance of the situation and context in understanding behavior)

.. But there is a world of difference between being inclined toward violence, and actually committing a violent act. A crime is a relatively rare and aberrant event. For a crime to be committed, something extra, something additional, has to happen to tip a troubled person toward violence, and what the Power of Context is saying is that those Tipping Points may be as simple and trivial as everyday signs of disorder like graffiti and fare-beating.

“In forming the first forests, they must have really changed the Earth system as a whole, creating new types of micro-environments for smaller plants and insects, storing large amounts of carbon and binding the soil together,” said study leader Christopher Berry of Cardiff University in Wales.

The rise of land plants such as Wattieza drastically altered the climate and paved the way for terrestrial animals and insects.

“The rise of forests removed a lot of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,” Berry explained. “This caused temperatures to drop and the planet became very similar to its present-day conditions.”

See the Python PEP 307 Extensions to the pickle protocol for further details.

Below, I show a simple way to pickle a new-style object using the state of the object. obj.__setstate__(state) will be called when unpickling if the state is being pickled.

def __newobj__(cls, *args): return cls.__new__(cls, *args)  # NEWOBJ pickle

class AClass(object):
  ..
  def __reduce__(self): return (__newobj__, (self.__class__,), self.__getstate__())

  def __getstate__(self):
     state = ..  # object's data
     return state
  def __setstate__(self, st):
     # restore object's data

The new protocol 2 pickles are much smaller than classic pickles. (due to the __newobj__ unpickling function - new opcode )

    When the unpickling function returned by __reduce__ (the first
    item of the returned tuple) has the name __newobj__, something
    special happens for pickle protocol 2.  An unpickling function
    named __newobj__ is assumed to have the following semantics:

      def __newobj__(cls, *args):
          return cls.__new__(cls, *args)

    Pickle protocol 2 special-cases an unpickling function with this
    name, and emits a pickling opcode that, given 'cls' and 'args',
    will return cls.__new__(cls, *args) without also pickling a
    reference to __newobj__ (this is the same pickling opcode used by
    protocol 2 for a new-style class instance when no __reduce__
    implementation exists).  This is the main reason why protocol 2
    pickles are much smaller than classic pickles.

Playoff Preview.

April 22, 2 stunners! None bigger than Warriors taking the 1st game at Dallas 97 - 85! This is hard to fathom! Warriors is the worst defending team among the 16 playoff teams, conceding over 106 points per game in the regular season! MVP candidate Dirk got hounded into shooting 4 of 16! 8-O

Some key observations from Kiki Vandeweghe:

What's one way the Warriors successfully defend Dirk Nowitzki, who shot 4-for-16 from the field?

Kiki Vandeweghe: A Don Nelson defensive strategy. Dirk likes to take one dribble, go right or left and then spin back. If you watch, there's often a player running at him, trying to steal on the spin. There were a few fouls, but trying to disrupt Dirk like that shows how well Nellie knows these players.

What do you think about Dallas choosing to bench Erick Dampier and start quicker, smaller Devean George?

KV: You can't let yourself get taken out of your game, and the Mavs had that happen. You have to play your game, and play your players.

April 23, The Rockets overcomed a 41-point performance from Carlos Boozer and their own poor shooting (36.1 percent) to take a 2-0 lead.

Ugly win counts for more

April 26, No western playoff teams will make a sweep as both Lakers and Jazz won their first game at home. The Rockets suffered an embarrassing loss making a franchise low playoff record of 67 points in which their bench contributed 0 point! 8-O

Rockets fail to step up in Game 3 by John P. Lopez.

SALT LAKE CITY — When it was time for a substitute, Jeff Van Gundy could have turned to his right and the guys in suits drinking beer.

The production would have been about the same as all those times Van Gundy turned to his left, to the fellas in uniform swallowing pride. Thus far, the Rockets' bench is 0-fer Utah.

When it was time for Tracy McGrady or Yao Ming to step up, they fell down.

McGrady started fast, knocking down six of seven shots, and then faded into playoff oblivion. Yao started slow and never found a rhythm.

When it was time to attack, everyone in Rockets red retreated, settling for fadeaway jump shots, awkward angles and impossible prayers.

April 27, Defending Champion Miami Heat lost a must-win game at home to trail by 0 to 3, a deficit that no NBA team had ever come back from in NBA history! Heat led by 12 points in the third quarter but misfired on 19 of their 35 free-throw attempts and were outscored 32-17 over the final 11½ minutes. Wade was 4-for-10 from the foul line and O'Neal was 3-for-12.

Wade should have shot better from the line unless his injured shoulder has a big influence. This shows how important it is to shoot well from the line.

Defending Western conference Champion Dallas also lost big to Warriors to trail by 1 to 2. Maybe, the warriors do match up well against Mavericks! 8-O

April 29, Miami Heat ousted by Bulls without winning a single game! The first close game between Warriors and Dallas goes to Warriors and Warriors only need 1 more win to advance! Maybe, the best team in NBA this year, Dallas will soon join Heat. Quite unbelievable! 8-O

(I came to meet my Korean teacher)

1. Sangminssi! Na do shinae-e kayo. (e, do, ssi)



2. Mwo ha-rŏ hakkyo-e kayo? (yo, e, -rŏ)



3. Kim sŏnsaengnimun ŏttaeyo? (un/nun)



4. Yŏgiga samushir-ieyo? (i/ga)



5. Anieyo. Yŏginun samushiri anieyo. (i/ga, un/nun)

If the question is positive, then you answer as you would in English.

However, if the question is negative, then the answer you give will be the opposite to what you would say in English, eg:

Don't you love me?

English: Yes, I love you. or No, I don't.

Korean: No, I love you. or Yes, I don't.

It goes without saying that you need to think very carefully when answering negative questions in Korean! :lol:

I also use the below to generate the browse tags path.

Eg. navigate_tags('php+Wordpress') will produce >> php >> Wordpress

The tag navigation is equivalent to the one I used in Sky Explorer for application menu. :)

function get_tags($tag) { 
	return explode("+", $tag);
}

function navigate_tags($tag) { 
	$tags = get_tags($tag);
	$tagUri = '/tag/';
	$link = '';
	$tagfmt = '>> <a href="%link%">%name%</a> ';
	$tagvars = array("%link%", "%name%");
	$nav = '';
	foreach ($tags as $t) {
		$link .= (($link != '')? '+' : '') . $t;
		$nav .= str_replace($tagvars, array($tagUri.$link, $t), $tagfmt);
	}
	return $nav;
}

Firstly, Sky Explorer needs keycapture module which requires SwEvent capability. Refer S60 3rd Edition Development.

To sign the SIS file with SwEvent capability means that I need to get a symbian cert. Go to www.symbiansigned.com and get a free Symbian Developer Certificate. (need to download DevCertRequest tool to generate cert, the Developer cert can only be used in 1 phone by specifying 1 imei no.)

At first, I try to sign PythonForS60_1_3_20_3rdEd_unsigned_freedevcert.SIS with only the required capabilities, this doesn't work. So, I request another cert with all 13 capabilities included and sign with this and this works!

I am using Nokia Remote Device Access for testing, so when using a freshly generated cert, I need to change the phone's timezone to my timezone. :)

Next, I need to modify my code to know where it is (the path it resides in). In 3rd edition phone, it is in \private\<uid> (Sky Explorer uid is 0x2000A1C6, so the scripts will be in \private\2000A1C6), the application can know its own uid from appuifw.app.uid() and the sys.path will also contain this path, thus I can know the exact path. Good thing, this private path is writable for the owning application, so saving of preference and application tagging data requires no changes.

I have already written a python extension applist.pyd (view code)to retrieve the list of applications info from the phone and have already tested that it is working correctly in my 2nd edition phone with a slight modification. Getting it to work on 3rd edition isn't as easy though.

The applist module cannot be imported from the private dir !? The alternative is to make it go into the executable dir in \sys\bin . Since the py2sis script has an option leavetemp that allows us to tweak the installation path of each component in the pkg file, I think of using that. This turns out bad for 3rd edition sis, I kept getting errors from py2sis until I gave up! :-(

I then turn my attention to ensymble.py (Great stuff! Turns out to be my saviour! :) Get it from Ensymble development by Jussi Ylänen) to search for more options.

python ensymble.py simplesis --uid=0x2000A807 --version=1.0.0 applist APPLIST.sis

The simplesis command creates a sis file from the source dir applist preserving the path structure that applist contains. In this case, I should create a sys\bin subdir in applist and put the applist.pyd inside the sys\bin subdir. This creates the unsigned version.

python ensymble.py mergesis --cert=mycert.cer --privkey=mykey.key --passphrase=xxx SkyExplorer.sis 
APPLIST.sis SkyExplorer_v1.sis

The mergesis command merges several SIS files into one. The resulting SIS file is then signed with the certificate provided.

After this is done and installed, the applist module still cannot be imported! There is a permission denied error, check that applist.pyd is compiled to have same capabilities as this python interpreter process! So, although applist.pyd doesn't requires any capabilities, but in order for my program to load it, it will require the same capabilities as my program! Yes! This is the weird part! I am thinking what if another program also embeds the same module but it requires a different set of capabilities, so what will happen when this program is installed with the same module? The only way this can seem to work is if the module will acquire a union of the set of capabilities :roll:

python ensymble.py signsis --cert=mycert.cer --privkey=mykey.key --passphrase=xxx
--dllcaps=LocalServices+NetworkServices+ReadUserData+WriteUserData+SwEvent APPLIST.sis APPLIST_v1.sis

Use signsis command to sign APPLIST.sis with the same set of capabilities that I use for Sky Explorer and then use mergesis to merge into one and then try again. I confirm this finally works! (only on 1 phone)

python ensymble.py signsis --cert=mycert.cer --privkey=mykey.key --passphrase=xxx
--execaps=LocalServices+NetworkServices+ReadUserData+WriteUserData+SwEvent 
skyexplorer_3rdEd_1.0.1.unsigned.sis skyexplorer_3rdEd_1.0.1.devsigned.sis

Note: use execaps option instead when resigning skyexplorer.

Why do you have to control your own fiber to connect the data centers?

One of the neat things about the bubble is that people built all of this fiber that is now essentially free. What's funny about our fiber leasing and purchasing is that people are always assuming that we have some master plan involving telecommunications when, in fact, if you think about it as just solving the supercomputer problem, we just want the thing to be faster.

Now, we can throw away people's speculation about what purposes does Google has in acquiring so many fibers! :)

Peter Norvig wrote a toy spelling corrector that achieves 80 or 90% accuracy at a rate of at least 10 words per second, in 20 lines of Python 2.5 code during a plane flight. See his page. :D

Happen to see this Google Groups Python thread on a question about the Spelling correction code.

Python is short and sweet! :D

Solar cell technology developed by the University’s Nanomaterials Research Centre will enable New Zealanders to generate electricity from sunlight at a 10th of the cost of current silicon-based photo-electric solar cells.

Dr Wayne Campbell and researchers in the centre have developed a range of coloured dyes for use in dye-sensitised solar cells.

The synthetic dyes are made from simple organic compounds closely related to those found in nature. The green dye Dr Campbell is synthetic chlorophyll derived from the light-harvesting pigment plants use for photosynthesis.

And whereas silicon cells need direct sunlight to operate efficiently, these cells will work efficiently in low diffuse light conditions,” Dr Campbell says.

“The energy that reaches earth from sunlight in one hour is more than that used by all human activities in one year”.

This article Green leaves inspire solar cells goes into more details on synthetic chlorophyll.

I wouldn't agree that the Desktop is dead. As much as I like gmail and understand the usefulness of web applications, there is no reason to believe that someone cannot come out with a better client UI running on the desktop. I just have the feeling that Paul may be underestimating Bill Gates. :evil:

Personally, I will fit into the demographics which are spending quite a lot of time online. I also seldom read newspaper now. I think blog advertising will only work well for those that have really good contents on their site and these contents have to be focused on a certain topic or niche and the site has a lot of readers. I don't find myself clicking on Google Ads at all when I am reading blogs.

It has been shown that people can create false memories. If the person believes that the memory of a past experience is real, then he/she will regard that experience as reality.

Modify function get_categories in category.php

• Add show_top option in $defaults.

  	$defaults = array('type' => 'post', 'child_of' => 0, 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC',
  		'hide_empty' => true, 'include_last_update_time' => false, 'hierarchical' => 1, 'exclude' => '', 
  		'include' => '', 'number' => '', 'pad_counts' => false, 'show_top' => false);
  

• Add to the sql where criteria if $show_top is true.

  	if ($show_top)
  		$where .= ' AND category_parent = 0';
  

• Modify my sidebar.php

  <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&hierarchical=0&show_top=true') ?>
  

I notice the various variables used for the options (eg. $hierarchical) are never initialized anywhere. There is this odd looking statement extract($r); (see the function documentation here), now, I understand how this works! ;)

I have tested Sky Explorer using the service since I don't have a 3rd edition phone to test on. It doesn't run yet!

You can access the service here.

Didn't know fish can live up to such a long age!! :D

Add a slight modification to the function get_the_category_list in category-template.php (only for default case).

Ted Berger has spent the past decade engineering a brain implant that can re-create thoughts. The chip could remedy everything from Alzheimer’s to absent-mindedness—and reduce memory loss to nothing more than a computer glitch.

The chip’s ability to converse with live cells is a dramatic first step, he believes, toward an implantable machine that fluently speaks the language of the brain—a machine that could restore memories in people with brain damage or help them make new ones.

Remedying Alzheimer’s disease would, if Berger’s grand vision plays out, be as simple as upgrading a bit of hardware. No more complicated drug regimens with their frustrating side effects. A surgeon simply implants a few computerized brain cells, and the problem is solved.

His mother’s illness and resulting death in 2005 had a profound and grounding influence on his work. “It suddenly made my research more than just a cool laboratory problem to solve,” Berger says. “Instead of just thinking about [the brain chip] as solving one of the great puzzles of neuroscience, I now think mostly in terms of increasing the quality of life for stroke, epilepsy and dementia patients.”

But the most dramatic achievement in humans so far is a neurosensor under development by brain researcher John Donoghue and his colleagues at Brown University. When placed over the brain’s motor-cortex area, the sensor enables quadriplegics to open and close a prosthetic hand merely by thinking about doing it. This technology, called BrainGate, allows the machine to convert the electronic signals coming from the brain (“I want to move this hand”) into motor activity by using algorithms embedded in a software chip.

Berger’s brain chip operates in two directions, functioning as a bridge over damaged cells. The chip, LaCoss tells me, represents 100 neurons that can individually receive analog signals from live brain tissue, convert them to digital signals, and then reconvert them to an analog signal relayed to healthy neurons on the other side.

Tampering with fundamental processes like memory and consciousness could play havoc with notions of identity. For instance, what if a brain chip of the future caused people to recollect things that never happened to them? Or what if it destroyed healthy memories to make room for new ones? “We could be screwing up good memories as well,” Granacki admits.

“Modeling or even mimicking is not replacing,” Schalick says. “Dr. Berger’s experiments at this stage offer only an incomplete bridge.”

It will be impossibly tough to prove that it can function as brain cells replacement. But, I can quite believe, at a certain point of time, there will be people willing to try out anyway.

Maybe still, there are other alternative ways of healing without controversy and complexity.

I am in a toilet with my mum in one sequence and I am spraying my urine over the bowl. ..

In another sequence, my mum transforms into an animal. Now, I don't know what animal is that! She is happily feeding on some insects! :) We will then sleeping outside somewhere (there is a mat), there must be quite a lot of ants and my mum must have been bitten by quite a number and I found myself busily hitting and killing the ants! Just a Dream :roll:
