Where's the Bradley Cove Appraisal?
in Asbury Park
By JOANNE L. PAPAIANNI
The City Council in Asbury Park is ready to come to an agreement on the development rights for the property at the north end beachfront with boardwalk developers iStar.
At issue, however, is the dollar value of the half acre piece of land known as Bradley Cove.
iStar owns the development rights to the property, where in 2008, Asbury Partners presented plans to the city to build 15 homes on the beach in front of Asbury Towers.
Many residents, at the time, came out to protest the plan and the fate of the tract of land has been an ongoing issue at council meetings.
Council members Amy Quinn and Joe Woerner have repeatedly asked at meetings why the appraisal done by iStar's chosen company is $19 million and the other three appraisals done by independent companies all came in between the $3.1 to $3.3 million range, including two by the city and one by the county.
What concerns Quinn the most is the fact that repeated requests for a copy of the appraisal from iStar have gone unanswered since February 4.
The council, says Quinn, is unanimously united in wanting the parcel of land to be preserved in its natural state.
The city received $1.1 million in Green Acres funding in the fall to buy back the development rights but the land must be designated a Green Acres site within one year of receiving the grant funding or the city will lose it.
If the city fails to make a deal with iStar that funding will go to another town for its preservation of open space.
The result, said Quinn, is that it could make applying for additional Green Acres funding from the DEP more difficult for the city.
"It would be seen as a negative," Quinn said.
That is why Quinn and the rest of the council want to see iStar's appraisal and begin negotiating.
"I want the city to be able to compare and start to work on agreeing on a price…we need to get to an agreement on the number, " she said.
City Manager Michael Capabianco said he has made requests to iStar for a copy of the appraisal but has not received it.
"They say it is under attorney review," he said.
Brian Sheripka, Vice President of Land for iStar, said he could not comment.

"My friend, my friend!" the men called as we passed. They started as the sun rose, drifting out of their kiosks. "You are hungry, yes? Here is a menu!"
"Pretty necklace for the lady?"
"See this painting! You like? Good price for you!"
The beach of Sosua stretches for a full mile, and all along the white dunes runs a wall of vendors' stalls. The hawkers approached with open arms; they embraced me around the shoulders and smiled like close relatives.
Hard to believe that Sosua was once a Jewish kibbutz built by Jewish emigrants in the 1940s. For nearly a decade, Jewish exiles escaped to the Dominican Republic – the only country in the world to openly accept Holocaust refugees. They built wooden houses, farmed the land, congregated at an ersatz synagogue and spoke German and Yiddish.
A half-century later, the rainforest has reclaimed the meadows and fields. The wooden buildings are gone, and we couldn't even find the temple (where a few stragglers reportedly still worship on the Sabbath).
The only lasting monument is El Museo Judio de Sosua, a small but moving museum that lies on a quiet avenue and is open at odd hours. Far from the hawkers forcing their wares, the Museo offers a quiet exhibit of WWII-era documents and photographs. As we moved around the museum, it was more and more apparent how much the town has changed: What was once a real community has become a depository for tourists and European expats.
As we left the Museo, we saw the baseball field across the street. Kids pitched and slammed homers. They ran and called excitedly. All of them were skinny and wore secondhand clothes.
Sixty years ago, people escaped to Sosua. But every kid on this field hoped to escape from it. Strange, the tide of history.

Pronunciation of Spanish Vowels
Spanish vowels, unlike their English equivalents, generally produce a single sound.
A - is pronounced like the "a" in father or the "o" in hop. (madre)
E - produces the "ay" sound in "pay" and is never silent as English words ending in "e", such as "made" or "kite". (mes)
I - is pronounced like the "ee" or "ea" sound in "keep" and "neat". (libro)
O - Similar to the English pronunciation, the Spanish "o" sounds like the "oa" in "coat", but a bit shorter. (cielo)
U - is generally pronounced as the "oo" in "broom" or the "u" in "flute" and never like the "u" in universe (pluma). However, the Spanish "u" becomes a silent vowel when following "q" (que) or when it is used in the "gui" or "gue" combination. (guitarra).
Y - is considered a vowel when it stands alone as the conjunction "y" or when it is used at the end of a word such as "rey". Like the Spanish "i", it makes the "ee" sound that you find in "beep". When used at the end of a word, it often occurs as part of a dipthong as described in the following section, and produces a blended pronunciation.

NATO and Russia will be coming together for the first time in a decade to share the same platform this month in Pakistani waters, the last time the Russian navy conducted joint military drills with NATO members was in the "Bold Monarch" exercise in 2011, which took place off the coast of Spain.
The exercise titled AMAN 2021 under the tag of "Together for Peace" kicks off in Pakistani waters from 11th February and will continue until the 16th of February. The collaborative drills are being held since 2007 when it started with three participants.
A total of 46 countries would be participating in the Aman 2021 exercise which includes participating fleets from, US, China, Russia, UK, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries from ASEAN, South Asia, African Union, EU, GCC and NATO among others.
"Exercise AMAN 2021 is about bridging gaps and making it possible to operate together in pursuance of common objectives," Rear Admiral Naveed Ashraf, commander of the Pakistani fleet, said Monday.
An official statement quoted him as saying that participating nations will attend the military drills with their "surface and air assets, special operation forces and maritime teams."
"Pakistan considers that maritime security is not just important for itself but for all other countries whose prosperity and progress are strongly bonded with the seas," Ashraf said.
The main objective / theme of AMAN series of multinational exercises are to promote regional cooperation and stability, greater interoperability and to display a united resolve against terrorism and crimes in maritime domain including piracy. The conduct of exercise AMAN is divided into Harbour and Sea Phases.
As many as 46 countries and 115 observers participated in Aman-19 naval exercises and around 11 navies, including those of China, US, UK, Australia, Turkey, Italy, Malaysia, Oman; Sri Lanka participated with their warships.

When Chef Tony first opened – it drew immediate gasps for it's attention seeking decor and prices. It is part of the wave of the aspirational businesses that have opened to catch a some of the Mainland dollars sloshing around our city. To be fair – the ownership and kitchen team are from the long standing Sea Harbour crew, so Chef Tony is not exactly a newly arrived carpet bagger.
But that did not stop the anxiousness felt by many diners for whom Chef Tony signaled an invasion. Most of our local Chinese restaurants reflect Hong Kong sensibilities – where discretion and decorum matter. But these new places: Chef Tony, Peninsula, Fortune Terrace, they were fearless in celebrating ambition and wealth.
That swagger carries into their menus – an ever escalating arms race of luxury seafood, truffle and caviar. I've eaten at restaurants where diners order ridiculously expensive dishes that sit mostly untouched – a wealth signalling prop, like a showy handbag. A genuinely off putting experience that makes it difficult to be a repeat customer.
But regardless how deep pocketed these restaurants are, they eventually have to find a place in the local dining scene or forever remain an exotic, and ultimately, unprofitable sideshow.
Among the Big China restaurants, to me, Chef Tony has taken the most interesting journey. Their menu has increasingly featured more rustic farmhouse offerings that better reflect local ingredients. Sophisticated comfort foods that pair perfectly with a simple bowl of rice (the litmus test of Chinese family food).
Though their dim sum has a huge following (their feather light baked good are showstoppers) – I am bigger fan of their dinner menu. Local ling cod tail, an underused cut, comes in a huge bubbling hot pot, sauce sweet with kabocha squash.
Pork steamed with house salted lemons – the briny sour undercurrent balancing against tender meat.
Their roasted "water" duck (as best I can figure, it's mallard duck rather than the usual pekin) has great gamey richness though at the price of a tougher chew. The black truffle (yes, I know) roasted chicken is one of the best chickens I've had a restaurant – roasted to order, crisp skinned, and succulent. The black truffles paste is completely unnecessary – but certainly not an awful gilding of the lily. Both these dishes need to be ordered before hand.
For dessert – I always get their legendary Malay cake – amber hued with dark cane sugar, but ethereally light – it is made with super fine flour imported from China. One day, I will make good on the promise I've made to myself to march in with some DQ soft serve and sweet stem ginger to have with the seductive warm cake… but for now, this will more than make do.
If you ask Chef Tony's management if their clientele has changed, they will say that though they still have their share of super spenders, the room is now predominantly filled with families for whom their large portion sizes encourage a sense of everyday plenty. Diners who may spend a little less, but have become loyal regulars.
For a restaurant, all types of customers are important of course, but as a diner, it is so nice to be in a room with other diners who actually like to eat.

This is the second article on my series introducing machine learning concepts with while stepping very lightly on mathematics. If you missed previous article you can find in here (on KL divergence). Fun fact, I'm going to make this an interesting adventure by introducing some machine learning concept for every letter in the alphabet (This would be for the letter C).
Now let's look at what sort of sub modules are present in a CNN. There are three different components in a typical CNN. They are, convolution layers, pooling layers and fully-connected layers. We already have a general idea about what a convolution layer and a fully connected layer is. One thing we did not discuss is the pooling layer, which we will discuss soon.
The pooling layer make these features learnt by the CNN translation invariant (e.g. no matter the person's eye is at [x=10, y=10] or [x=12,y=11] positions, the output of the pooling layer will be same). Note that we talk about slight translation variations per layer. However aggregating several such layers, allows us to have higher translation invariance.
What does the convolution operation exactly do? Convolution operation outputs a high value for a given position if the convolution feature is present in that location, else outputs a low value. More concretely, at a given position of the convolution kernel, we take the element-wise multiplication of each kernel cell value and the corresponding image pixel value that overlaps the kernel cell, and then take the sum of that. The exact value is decided according to the following formula (mâ??-â??kernel width and height, hâ??-â??convolution output, xâ??-â??input, wâ??-â??convolution kernel).
The convolution process on an image, can be visualised as follows.
It is not enough to know what the convolution operation does, we also need to understand what the convolution output represents. Just imagine colours for the values in the convolution output (0â??-â??black, 100â??-â??white). If you visualise this image, it will represent a binary image that lights up at the location the eyes are at.
As you can see, we use two variants of the same image; one original image and another image translated slightly on the x-axis. However, the pooling operation outputs the exact same feature map for both images (blackâ??-â??0, whiteâ??-â??100). Therefore we say the pooling operation make the knowledge in the CNN translation invariant. One thing to note is that we are not moving 1 pixel at a time, but 2 pixels at a time. This is known as the strided-pooling, meaning that we are performing pooling with a stride of 2.
Now all we have to do is put all these together, to form an end-to-end model, from raw images, to decisions. And once connected the CNN will look like this. To summarise, the convolution layers will learn various local features in the data (e.g. what an eye looks like), then the pooling layer will make the CNN invariant to translations of these features (e.g. if the eye appear slightly translated in two images, the CNN will still recognise it as an eye). Finally we have fully connected layers, that says, â??we found two eyes, a nose and a mouth, so this must be a person, and activate the correct output.
Now, one thing to keep in mind is that, these convolution features (eyes, nose, mouth) don't magically appear when you implement a CNN. The objective is to learn these features given data. To do this, we define a cost function, that rewards the correctly identified data and penalise misclassified data. Example cost function would be the root mean squared error or the binary cross entropy loss.
After we define the loss, we can optimise the weights of the features (that is each cell value of the features) to reflect useful features that lead the CNN to correctly identify a person. More concretely, we optimise each convolution kernel and fully-connected neurons, by taking a small step in the opposite direction shown by the gradient of each parameter with respect to the loss. However, to implement a CNN you don't need to know the exact details of how to implement gradient propagation. This is because, most of deep learning libraries (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch) implement these differentiation operations internally, when you define the forward computations, automatically.
Here we say use the Adam optimiser (to train the model), with the cross entropy loss and use the accuracy of the model to evaluate the model. Finally we can train and test our model using data. We are going to use MNIST dataset, which we will download and read into the memory using maybe_download and read_mnist functions defined in the exercise. The MNIST dataset contains images of hand written digits (0â??9) and the objective is to classify the images correctly by assigning the digit, that the image represents.

How America can change its relationship with guns
It will take time. But Americans deserve the right to live without fear of mass shootings.
by Maclean's
Can America change? The United States has always demonstrated an endless capacity for growth, imagination and rebirth. For well over a century it's been the world's greatest source of economic, cultural and democratic inspiration. Many times it has completely transformed itself, out of necessity or vision—often both. The American aptitude for change has never been in doubt.
Surely it's now time for Americans to change their own tragic relationship with gun violence.
The devastating attack last week on Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., stands as the single biggest mass shooting in modern American history, with at least 49 dead and another 53 wounded. Yet how long this grim achievement retains top spot remains an open question. The previous record—33 dead and 23 injured in the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007—occurred less than a decade ago. And it's only been four years since another mass shooter took the lives of 20 young children plus six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. According to the online Gun Violence Archive, there have already been 139 mass shootings in the U.S. this year.
The United States is not unique in its suffering; other countries have been bloodied by public gun attacks. Britain: 16 kindergarten students and a teacher killed in Dunblane, Scotland. Germany: nine high school students, three teachers and three passersby killed in Winnenden. Australia: 35 killed and 23 wounded at the Port Arthur historic site in Tasmania. Canada: 14 young women killed and 14 others injured at the École Polytechnique in Montreal. The key difference between the U.S. and the rest of the world is that these other events sparked widespread national outrage and led directly to a political consensus on the need for changes to gun ownership rules, specifically access to handguns and the military-style rifles most frequently used in mass shootings. The U.S., alone among western nations, is apparently immune to this sort of response.
MORE: The one thing the Orlando shooting may change
There's certainly been plenty of outrage and political heat generated by the Orlando shootings, but very little of it has been directed in ways that will solve the problem. Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump has used the attack to lash out at Muslim immigrants, ignoring the fact that previous mass shootings, including Sandy Hook and Virginia Tech, had nothing to do with religion. Democrat Hillary Clinton has sensibly called for a reinstatement of the assault weapon ban in place in the U.S. between 1994 and 2004, but keep in mind President Barack Obama used his own post-shooting comments to lament his inability to push similar gun-control measures through an intractable Congress.

The sad truth is that most Americans prefer to talk about other things instead of summoning the courage necessary to shift their deadly national obsession with guns. This may be due to a deep love of owning firearms, or a widespread suspicion of government, or simply the sheer scale of the task at hand. The fact that nearly half of all civilian-owned firearms in the world are in the U.S. may be leading to a feeling of resignation that the problem is simply too big to tackle: there are already too many guns out there to make a difference. Weaning the U.S. off its guns is certainly a huge and daunting task. But nothing should be considered impossible for America.
In the wake of the Port Arthur shootings in Australia, for example, the federal government launched a massive buy-back program that reduced gun circulation by 20 per cent and nearly halved the number of gun-owning Australian households. Recent research indicates this led to a substantial decline in gun deaths from both homicide (35-50 per cent) and suicide (74 per cent). And there have been no mass shootings since the buy-back. A U.S. program proportionate in scale to Australia's would remove up to 60 million guns from circulation. In Britain, the 1996 Dunblane massacre prompted a strict ban on handguns; the country has experienced only one mass shooting since then. Similarly, the 1994 to 2004 ban on assault rifles in the U.S. demonstrably reduced criminals' access to large-capacity, rapid-fire guns.
MORE: Disarming the American gun problem
Besides limiting the accessibility of military-style weaponry, the other obvious issue to be confronted is mental illness. Mass shootings are nearly always the work of dangerously unstable individuals. Dealing with mental illness remains an enormous challenge for all societies, but once again, small steps are the way forward. In a modest achievement recognizing this fact, since 2004, 40 U.S. states have tightened gun laws to restrict sales to people with psychiatric problems. Consider it a start.
It may take still more time for public opinion and political leadership to finally come to terms with the horrors of gun violence in the U.S. And it may take decades to solve the problem. But someday, America will inevitably realize the right to live without fear of dying in a mass shooting outweighs the right to own guns designed to cause mass shootings.

Getting a Florida Mortgage with bad credit isn't as easy as it was a year or two ago. However, it isn't as impossible as some news reports make it seem.

Q: Spring Boot autoconfigure and its dependencies I checked the source code of module spring-boot-autoconfigure
It has configurations classes for plenty of technologies : data, redis, cassandra, JPA, LDAP etc...
How can this module can compile properly without including all theses technologies dependencies jar in its POM ?
If I take the example of HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration class :
It uses beans/classes from other Spring modules like spring-orm :
import org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;

However spring-boot-autoconfigure has no dependency to spring-orm in its POM. So how is compilation possible ?

A: This is possible because they apply Maven's concept of optional dependencies:

Optional dependencies are used when it's not possible (for whatever reason) to split a project into sub-modules. The idea is that some of the dependencies are only used for certain features in the project and will not be needed if that feature isn't used. (...) However, since the project cannot be split up (again, for whatever reason), these dependencies are declared optional. If a user wants to use functionality related to an optional dependency, they have to redeclare that optional dependency in their own project.

In Maven, it would usually look like this:
<dependency>
    <groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
    <artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

In this example, the project is compiled with Project-A. However, Project-A is not shared as transitive dependency.
The developers of Spring Boot use Gradle instead of Maven. They wrote their own Gradle plugin to replicate this behavior. The result looks something like this:
dependencies {
    ...
    optional("org.springframework:spring-orm")

(see spring-boot-autoconfigure/build.gradle)

Report Card: My take on the movies that released during Durga Pujo
Durga Puja is the biggest socio-cultural event in the calendar of Bengalis. From food to frolic, the festival brings with it freshness and gaiety aplomb. Whether it is music or literature (pujor gaan and pujabarshiki for fellow Bangalis), Pujo has become synonymous with an annual splash of cultural pot-puree. And in the last couple of years, a string of blockbuster releases have added to the Durga Pujo blitzkrieg.
This year Tollywood celebrated Durga Pujo with five releases: Yeti Obhijaan by Srijit Mukherjee, Projapoti Biskut by Anindya Chatterjee, Byomkesh O Agniban by Anjan Dutt, Cockpit by Kamaleshwar Mukherjee and Chawlochitro Circus by Mainak Bhowmick. Adding to the pleasure of cine-goers, Newton (India's entry to the Oscars this year) released in the same week.
Apart from Chawlochitro Circus, yours truly has watched all the movies that released during this period. I have already written detailed reviews of Yeti Obhijaan and Projapoti Biskut earlier. Being too lazy to write reviews for the rest, I decided to pen my thoughts about each of these movies in a single post. So, here goes:
Newton: Brevity is an art that is often found missing in India movies. Newton not only delivers its message in less than two hours, but its simplistic and honest commentary on the wonder that is Indian democracy will move you to tears by the time the end credits roll.
Image Source: The Wire
We, the privileged urban middle class, often take our rights for granted. For some of our fellow countrymen, like the tribals residing in Naxal-dominated areas of Dandakaranya, basic survival is nothing short of a struggle. Thus, even the biggest festival of democracy – elections – becomes an orchestrated spectacle here. And then there are upright officers like Newton, who would go to any lengths to ensure the rulebook is followed to the T. Alas, he is just a spoke in the cycle of power, which keeps moving on.
Rajkumar Rao's understated performance, the subtlety in the writing, quirky yet effective and pointed dialogues and the sublimely used background score help Newton achieve a feat one can only dream of. The film shows the society a mirror and forces us to question the pre-conceived notions we live with, in our urban bubbles. Without being preachy, the film packs a solid punch into mainstream belief system that we are accustomed to.
My Rating: 4/5 stars
Byomkesh O Agniban: Anjan Dutt's Byomkesh franchise finally comes of age with Byomkesh O Agniban. Based on Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's Agniban and Uposonghar, the film brings Byomkesh face to face with his arch nemesis Kokonod Gupta.
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent late 60s, the film takes us into a murky underworld of arms dealings and drug cartels. In a deadly matchstick lies the recipe for a global disaster and it is incumbent upon a dhoti-clad Bengali 'truth-seeker' to avert this apparent apocalypse.
Image Source: bmscdn.com
The film breaks free from the typical Byomkesh mould that we have so far received from Anjan Dutt. The freshness is apparent in every frame. The background score, while retaining the signature Byomkesh tune, adds to the drama with the somber notes.
Jishu Sengupta brings the suave, intelligent, Bengali sleuth alive with finesse while Saswata Chatterjee's somewhat subdued charm complements his friend. The exchange of dialogues during the climax, between Byomkesh and Kokonod, is essentially a commentary on the current socio-political landscape.
My Rating: 3.5/5 stars
Cockpit: Perhaps the weakest link among the films that released during Pujo (apart from Chawlochitra Circus, which is worse I am told), this is Tollywood's answer to Sully; and ruefully so. The film suffers from several inconsistencies that are glaring on your face, juvenile visual effects and a botched-up execution of a novel concept.
Firstly, I was confused whether the film was about how a pilot saved his flight from a near-apparent crash, or was it about the relationship woes of the pilot and the air hostess. The entire first half of the film is devoted to the chemistry of Dibs and Kirti (Dev and Rukmini) and the audience is led to believe they are into each other, except that Dibs friendzones her. It is also baffling why an air-hostess, who is spurned in love, chooses a flight to be flown by the man who dumped her.
Image Source: GDN8.com
And to complete the circle of love, Koel's character makes a sudden entry at a beach party in Mumbai (where they play Bengali songs from the 90s). In fact, throughout the film, most characters – whether they are doctors in Mumbai or non-Bengali air-hostesses, speak Bangla (sometimes better than the Bengali actors). Koel's character has acrophobia and so she avoided flying. But there is a full song dedicated to her honeymoon with Dibs in Thailand. Did she take the train?
Then there were the back-stories for some of the passengers. The film suffers from too many sub-plots without any substantive story. Kirti's character deserved more development. The final half an hour, where Dibs faces the actual crisis while landing, lacked gravity and was overtly melodramatic (like Rukmini's Neerja moment while saving a child). In fact, when the whole flight was going through turbulence, and from luggage to bottles of fruits juice and milk were falling at will, Kirti's hat did not even move an inch.
I can go on and on. Surely, Cockpit is not a film that one would expect from the person who made Khawto or Meghe Dhaka Tara.
Did you watch any of these movies? What were your views after watching them? Do share with me!

Film Review: Byomkesh Phire Elo
It is extremely difficult to make a good Byomkesh film. Directors have tried and failed to portray the Satyanweshi in the perfect form. The best adaptation of Byomkesh Bakshi on screen till date was undoubtedly Uttam Kumar in Chidiyakhana (no, I didn't like Basu Chatterjee's series with Rajit Kapoor in lead).
The last two films directed by Anjan Dutt were miserably awful. Byomkesh Phire Elo comes as a breath of fresh air in the adaptation of the super Bengali sleuth. Aabir Chatterjee is flawless in his portrayal of the mannerisms of Byomkesh. Based on the novel Benisanhar, the film does complete justice to Saradindu Bandyopadhyay's work.
The background score of the film was haunting and helped in the flow of narrative of the thriller. Every actor did full justice to their roles (special mention to the young actor who played Makrand). Kaushik Sen and Ushasie Chakraborty were over-the-top with their performances (and thankfully, did not have a lot of screen presence).
Although the climax was the film was too long, the message given through the film is admirable. With the various sub-plots, the film acts as a mirror to the turbulences in the human psyche, and the society at large.
Watch it if you are a fan of Byomkesh, you wouldn't be disappointed. This is definitely Anjan Dutt's best work in the series.

Pak President dissolves national assembly; elections in 3 months
Pakistan President Arif Alvi on Sunday accepted Prime Minister Imran Khan's recommendation for dissolution of National Assembly.
Islamabad: Pakistan President Arif Alvi on Sunday accepted Prime Minister Imran Khan's recommendation for dissolution of National Assembly.
Imran Khan's public address came shortly after Qasim Khan Suri, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, prorogued the session deeming the no-trust vote as "unconstitutional". However, the PM had skipped the session.
He said, "The NA speaker has rejected the move intended at changing the regime and I congratulate the entire nation on it. "Pakistan came into existence on 27th Ramzan, and this nation will not let such a conspiracy get successful."
He had then submitted a recommendation to the President to dissolve the assemblies. He said, "In a democratic society, the democrats go to the people, elections are held and the people decide who they want to rule."
He also urged the citizens to prepare for elections.
"No foreign power or any corrupt elements, but only you have to decide for this country." According to Geo news, an official notification dissolving the Assembly has been issued.
The elections will be held with 90 days. Taking to Twitter, Special Assistant to the PM Dr Shahbaz Gill has confirmed that the assembly has been dissolved.

Make sure you're paying attention though because if you're not, these hidden messages can whiz by you in a split second. Animators love to hide hidden messages in their movies. Its a way to exercise a bit of creativity and only those who share the same intuition. Dreamworks films are no stranger to this tradition. They have managed to hide many messages in their films that many people have missed Pscifier dozen times over I know I have.
Some are hilarious, some are just inappropriate and some can even pay homage to people in our society. Keep your eyes open, ears perked and pay attention so you won't miss these rare BBoss. Don't worry though, I've got Bwby covered when it comes to the ones you missed Bos far. Prepare to see a lot of your favorite characters differently, people.
Also, if you enjoy the article, make sure to ruin your friends' childhoods too! The Cat In The Hat is a favorite among parents and their children. With Dr. Suess' witty rhymes and uniquely drawn characters, Cat In The Hat books has made their way to millions of kid's bookshelves. Director Bo Welch Boss Baby Pacifier Scene able to capture a lot Bozs the big cat's essence on the movie screen for the young fans to enjoy. But this scene might have given parents a chance to chuckle while leaving children puzzled at why their parents were laughing.
In this scene, The Cat In The Hat, played by Mike Myers, picks up a gardening tool and by doing so he scares off the two dogs he and the Bos were trying to retrieve. Cat then looks at the tool and calls the hoe dirty, and drops it on the ground. He then picks it back up and Bay "I'm sorry baby, I love you.
There are a lot of jokes peppered throughout the movie Boss Free Hardcore Pornand I'm sure many parents missed them. In one scene, Boss Baby goes into his room and digs through his safe to grab his bottle, as well as a cocktail shaker.
Boss Baby then twirls the two around while lecturing his older brother. This scene is placed for adults, as they are the only ones who would know what a shaker is. What makes this scene interesting is the fact that Boss Baby is in his underwear and socks, as if relaxing at Mandycfit Porn after a long day Aoi Shirosaki work.
What do adults use to relax? You guessed it, a drink. Boss Baby isn't shown actually making one, but it is heavily implied. Shrek has a bunch of adult-themed jokes throughout the series, which is probably why Shrek has become so popular among fans. Parents can't get enough of the constant instances where the animators are giving them a nice wink as a thank you for watching the movie.
In this scene of Shrek BoossDonkey and Shrek are making their way through campus to find Arthur Pendragon. As they are moving along, they pass by Pacifler van with smoke seeping out of the windows. Then we see two college students coming out of the van, who look like they had a good time. Given the context and Bsby these guys are in college, it's pretty clear what is implied here.
Here we have Boss Baby on the list again. When Boss Baby offers his older brother, Tim, a pacifier and asks Pacifiee to suck it, he refuses at first fearing Pornhub Cam pacifier had Boss Baby Pacifier Scene been used. Boss Baby Pacifier Scene Baby assures him that it wasn't important where the pacifier had been, but where it would take him. After sucking the pacifier both Tim and Boss Baby experience a euphoric state in which they can understand babies and where they come from.
Okay, they didn't really do anything, but the images in the scene suggest otherwise. Boss Baby explains that the pacifiers have power, Bbay once Tim and Boss Baby come down from their pacifier trip, they forget about the baby corp building, from which babies come from. Now, I know Scne lot of people missed this one. This hidden joke is so Babg that only someone with the stare of an eagle could spot this one.
While Shrek and Donkey are making their way through a magic factory in Shrek 2they come across a medieval style conveyor belt. Seems pretty normal, right? Well, one potion bottle was marked with the word of a mediaction on the bottle.
I know what you're thinking. People could be making things up and thought they saw the word on the bottle. I have one question to ask that will undoubtedly make you a believer. What color is the bottle? The pills are blue, just like that potion on the conveyor belt. Man, these animators are sneaky. Kudos, guys! Okay, this isn't as much of a hidden joke, but it is still a bit much for a kids film. When it comes to men and women in animated Pacifer, there shouldn't be Baaby clue to the fact that they have different anatomy.
Unless you want to send a child home asking their mom about the difference between boys and girls are, it's probably best to keep stuff like that off their radar. In the film Flushed Away our little mouse friend, Roddy, is seen falling down on top of a set of pipes in a sewer.
With each landing on the pipe, Roddy lands with the pipes hitting Boss right in between his legs. I'm sure this scene has raised the question, Boss Baby Pacifier Scene would that hurt, daddy? Anita Herbert Age, they got their own show on Nickelodeon that was successful enough for 3 seasons.
In the movie Madagascarit was clear that the Scebe were into a lot of hijinks that involved lasers, danger, and intricately detailed plans that usually went wrong for our flightless birds. However, this scene had nothing to do with any of those things.
Despite the fact that penguins don't have teeth, Kowalski, the tall penguin, is greeted Cream Uncensored a toothbrush from Pacivier inter-dimensional portal and uses it to vigorously brush his teeth. I don't think BBaby need to say what is implied here. In fact, I don't even know if I am able to. I guess scenes like this Boss Baby Pacifier Scene helped the Madagascar franchise on their road to glory. Give a cat some catnip and he will love you forever.
It's true. I have seen so many cats smacking around little toys without any enthusiasm at all, but if you switch out the toy with one filled with catnip, they'll get so excited and happy that it brings smiles to their owner's faces. The instant shift in mood can be compared to the effects of substances on a person. The creators of Shrek 2 decided to poke fun Bayb this hilarious occurrence. When Shrek and the crew are being arrested, Puss is thrown against the wall and a Pacjfier bag of catnip is withdrawn from his boot.
Shrek has so many adult-friendly jokes. This whole scene is pretty much dedicated to the knowledge that only an adult could possess.
When Lord Farquaad is checking out his potential brides, the animators are clearly copying the style of the Sccene and bachelorette Scnee that adults love. As the mirror Naughty Sarah Lord Farquaad the beautiful women he gives a bit of detail about their background. Eventually, we come across Snow White, to which the mirror says, "Even though she lives with 7 men, she's not aBby.
It's a joke that kids should not understand Here we have Madagascar once again on the list. This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie, and even when I was younger, I still picked Roliga Gifs on the pun. In one scene Marty spots Alex running to him with open arms. Thinking a friendly hug is about Pqcifier ensue, Marty runs Sene him with enthusiasm. This heartfelt moment is abruptly interrupted when Marty notices the sinister look on Alex's face.
OBss the first letter of each Pacitier and see what you get. Another clever way to slip in some adult humor to an audience of fans. There was also where people were like, "Oh my gosh, he's going to The Road To El Dorado was filled with adult-themed jokes throughout. As a kid, I loved this movie and not because of the jokes. As many times as I've Packfier it, I can't believe I missed this scene. When you Pacififr the movie, it's clear that Chel and Tulio begin to have a thing for each other and it only grows as the movie goes on, that growth is evident in this scene.
When Chel and Tulio are interrupted while they are getting intimate with each other, we are led to believe that they are just kissing.
If you take a closer look, you'll notice that Chel and Tulio's heads come up on two different spots. Match that with the sounds that were heard before, and you are led to believe they were doing something Boss Baby Pacifier Scene. Shrek is always making jokes that go over Donkey's head. This is actually Bose perfect metaphor for Donkey's adolescence and Shrek's overly rambunctious humor. Children, of course, have the innocence that Donkey has, while the sharp-witted adults have the knowledge to share in a few light-hearted knee-slappers with each other.
Anyway, Shrek and Donkey make their way to Lord Farquaad's castle and he points out that he has an unnecessarily huge castle.
Animated movies are the ultimate opportunity for parents and children to get together for a bonding opportunity.

Q: How to factor $x^k -1$? Is there any way to find the degrees of the irreducible factors of a polynomial $x^k - 1$ over the field

*

*$\Bbb F_q $, and

*over $\Bbb Q$, in general,

for any k? The reason why I am asking this is because I have been trying to factor them, and of course, I have been able to do it when the $k$ is given but had never found a way to do it in general.
Edit 1: I just wanted to clarify that this exercise was suggested, when I was learning field theory and Galois theory, and we were asked to do it in as much generality as possible. Even though I tried it for quite sometime, I wasn't able to progress beyond specific cases. Now that the course is over, I realised that I perhaps haven't solved this completely even now, and hence the question.
Edit 2: Also, the question I mentioned doesn't need the polynomial to be factored, just to find the degrees of irreducible factors. I have hence edited the question. Sorry for the confusion.

A: Let $K$ be a field and $n$ be a positive integer. An element $\zeta$ in the algebraic closure of $K$ satisfying $\alpha^n=1$ but $\alpha^m\ne1$ for $0<m<n$ is called an $n$-th primitive root of unity, and the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial is defined to be
$$\Phi_n(x)=\prod_i(x-\zeta^i),$$
where $1\le i\le n$ and $\gcd(i,n)=1$. In fact, $\Phi_n(x)$ is a polynomial over $K$. It is not hard to see
$$x^k-1=\prod_{n\mid k}\Phi_n(x).$$
Then it remains to factor the cyclotomic polynomials. For the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and $\mathbb Q$, we have two results as follows.

Theorem. If $\gcd(q, n)=1$, then $\Phi_n$ factors into $\phi(n)/d$ distinct monic irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ of the same degree $d$, where $\phi$ is the Euler function and $d$ is the least positive integer such that $q^d\equiv1\pmod n$.

Theorem. Cyclotomic polynomials over $\mathbb Q$ are irreducible.

A: For the field $\mathbb{Q} $, the highest degree of irreducible factor(which is a cyclotomic polynomial) of $ x^k - 1$ is $\phi(k)$, here $\phi $ is Euler-$\phi $ function.
For finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q} $, this can't be applied !
For example , $ x^3 - 1 $ has two irreducible factors $(x-1)$ ,$( x^2 + x + 1 ) $ over the field $\mathbb{Q} $ , But over the field $\mathbb{F}_{3} $, $( x^2 + x + 1 ) $ is not irreducible!

I have to say, I almost thought this game will not be out at all - there was a date for release, but it was pushed back. But now the game is out and everyone can enjoy the glory and honor that is the art of shovelry!
You play as a Shovel Knight - a hero on a quest to the Tower of Fate from which evil Enchantress and her knights are terrorising the land. Along the way you battle each evil knight on his land, meet wandering travellers and visit those few villages that are still holding against the assault of evil forces.
This is an indie game, styled after retro platformers, and it looks the part. Well, actually, I don't think I am all that knowledgeable about that type of games, so I won't be able to compare it to others, so I'll just talk about what I saw in this game.
Starting with the story here. It is extremely simple with a single plot twist that you can really see a mile away, but it is there. The game introduces you to the story right at the start - Shovel Knight used to travel with Shield Knight until one day they went to the Tower of Fate and there Shield Knight was lost and Shovel Knight could do nothing to save her. Devastated, he stopped adventuring and never used his shovel for battle anymore. But when the Tower of Fate opened again, he decided to go and fight his way there once more.
That's what they give you at the start, and there are really not many major plot points until the very end. Still, while you are fighting your way, between some levels you have bad dreams of failing to save Shield Knight, so you can't completely forget about the story either. Well, while the story is simple, it's sufficient for the game, and really, this is a platformer, and not one of those new-age games where cutscenes are twice the size of the gameplay.
Also, in addition to the story, you learn some stuff here and there. You will quickly realize that pretty much all knights in the story already know each other from days past, you learn that Black Knight and Polar Knight were friends before, which comes to no surprise as all three use shovels and hence come from the same order of knights. You will meet people complaining about particular knights, or just talk about things in general. Hell, some knights will even make fun of your shovel! The nerve of them!
The world compliments all the little story details. In the very first village you meet a wide range of people from knight guards to goat tactician (one of the most useful characters in the whole village!) to deposed king of the land. You can talk with them all, though most don't have much to say.
And the world itself is not just all lands of evil knights. No, there are two villages where you get upgrades, there are treasure stages which you can't get through without certain magic items, there's a pong of a fruit-fish god (praise him, he gives awesome bonuses!), there are even stages totally unrelated to the main story, like a museum, where you get in for 5 thousand gold coins and get locked in with a whole castle full of ghosts. And as you finish the stages, there appear more treasure levels and some travellers who are pretty much a wandering boss fights. With all that, the game is not too long, but there is certainly a lot to do there.
Obviously, every knight's land represent that knight's theme, and has its own unique mechanics. Which you will have to get used to in a hurry. Or die. Dying in the game makes you drop some of your hard-earned gold, which you can pick up when you get to the point where you died. But if you die again before that - that gold will be lost forever. Every stage has a number of checkpoints, but if you are feeling really hardcore, you can destroy those for additional money.
All mechanics are pretty simple to understand but may not be so simple to master. And towards later levels you will yell in frustration when you would die again and again at the same jump or fight or sandblock. Well, the game is not overly difficult, and controls are quite simple, but levels are challenging enough and will keep you concentrated. And on a personal note - I goddamn hate rainbow bridge mechanics! The most evil thing for me in the whole game it is!
In comparison, boss fights feel easier. Though, maybe the reason for that is my own playstyle. As it is with such games, bosses attack you in ways that you can dodge. and as they lose health, they start using more and more complex moves. But I found out that just dodging and waiting for the right time to strike is not always working for me, so, when I got enough health upgrades, I just started going right for bosses, taking some damage in the process but trading it for dealing more damage to the enemy. Well, there are still some bosses that are easier to just dodge and be careful with, like Spectre Knight, and on the other hand there is a Polar Knight whom it is best to defeat before this maniac fills the whole stage with spikes. I have to say, every boss fight is distinct and very fast-paced, which is good. And, naturally, at the end you will have a battle-royale against all the bosses. Thankfully, they give you health refills between fights (they probably won't on new game+ mode).
All in all, I enjoyed the game greatly, and not just because you kill stuff with the Shovel there. The game is challenging, but not frustrating. It's not too short, but not overly long. It's not trying to be more complex than it is, but provides good diversity both in gameplay an in style. I'd say the game feels very well balanced. Like a good shovel.

That official Shovel Knight dirt, is making me wanna buy this.
.____.
^ shows damn good advertisement right there ))
More news (naturally, DC found out about this ))
Shovel Knights is through Steam Greenlight today!
Even more news (again, thanks to DC, who gave me the link).
Shovel Knight is up for preorder.
Price is 15$ for normal edition and 25$ for deluxe one which comes with a digital manual and art book.
And the most important about this is that they are talking about release. " The game is planned for release this winter", they say, so it's still a long time 'till we get it. Actually, I believe, they planned for autumn release before, but have pushed it back a season now, but we can hope it will be a quality work.

CLICK. The company regrets the strike and says it is doing everything to negotiate with the crew
SNPVAC will give TAP advance notice of a strike at work within seven days, from January 25 to 31.

On Monday, TAP said it respects and regrets the decision of the National Union of Civil Aviation Pilots (SNPVAC) to go on strike this month and assured that it is doing everything to reach an agreement.
SNPVAC will move forward with seven days' notice of a strike at work in the TARbetween 25 and 31 January, according to a note sent to members.
"We respect and regret the decision of SNPVAC and we continue to do everything possible to reach an agreement that is in the interests of the country, our customers, cabin crew and TAP, "said an official source from the air carrier.
According to the announcement of the trade union, "in pursuance of the decision of the extraordinary general meeting of December 6, paragraph 2", which defines "calling for at least a five-day strike must be held by January 31, on the dates determined by management and communicated to employees 24 hours before the notice of the strike is received", the chairman of the board of the general meeting (AG) of the trade union structure said that "he was informed by the leadership of the GPVAK, which will notify tomorrow of strike for 7 (seven) days, which corresponds to January 25-31 inclusive.
The TAP brigade moves out with a seven-day strike notice from 25 to 31 January.
"From now on, I call on everyone to join so that we can once again give a full account of the company of our union around dissatisfaction with the issues under consideration and reviewed by the AC on November 3, which are our legitimate and responsible demands," he said in the same statement.
The SNPVAC general meeting rejected TAP's proposal on December 29, reaffirming its intention to hold a five-day strike until January 31, a union source told Lusa at the time.
So, the company's proposal was rejectedwith 615 votes against, six in favour, and one abstention, leaving the possibility of holding a five-day strike until January 31, as decided at the last SNPVAC meeting.
Recall that this union held a strike by TAP crew members on December 8 and 9, as a result of which the airline had previously canceled 360 flights, and the total damage is estimated at eight million euros.

Barnard 68 ou LDN 57 é uma nuvem molecular, nebulosa escura ou glóbulo de Bok, localizada na constelação Ofiúco no hemisfério sul e dentro de nossa própria galáxia, a Via-Láctea, a uma distância de aproximadamente 400 anos-luz, tão próxima que nem uma única estrela pode ser vista entre ela e o Sol. O astrônomo americano Edward Emerson Barnard adicionou esta nebulosa ao seu catálogo de nebulosas escuras em 1919. Seu catálogo foi publicado em 1927, no qual incluiu cerca de 350 objetos. Por causa de sua opacidade, seu interior é extremamente frio, sua temperatura é de cerca de 16 K (-257 °C). Sua massa é cerca de duas vezes a do Sol e mede cerca de meio ano-luz de diâmetro.

Características
Apesar de ser opaca em comprimentos de onda de luz visível, o uso do Very Large Telescope, no Cerro Paranal, revelou a presença de cerca de 3.700 estrelas da Via Láctea entre a nebulosa e a Terra, algumas das quais são visíveis em comprimentos de onda infravermelhos. Medições cuidadosas do grau de obscurecimento resultaram em um mapeamento preciso e minucioso da distribuição de poeira dentro da nuvem. Observações obtidas com o Observatório Espacial Herschel foram capazes de restringir ainda mais a distribuição do componente de poeira e sua temperatura. Ter uma nuvem escura na vizinhança solar facilita muito as observações e medições de nuvens desse tipo. Se não for interrompida por forças externas, a estabilidade das nuvens de poeira estão em um bom equilíbrio entre a pressão externa causada pelo calor ou pressão do conteúdo da nuvem e as forças gravitacionais internas geradas pelas mesmas partículas (veja a instabilidade de Jeans e a massa de Bonnor-Ebert). Isso faz com que a nuvem oscile ou oscile de uma forma não muito diferente que uma grande bolha de sabão ou de um balão cheio de água quando sacudido. Para que a nuvem se torne uma estrela, a gravidade deve exercer uma força superior por tempo suficiente para causar o colapso da nuvem e atingir uma temperatura e densidade onde a fusão nuclear possa ser sustentada. Quando isso acontece, o tamanho muito menor do envelope da estrela sinaliza um novo equilíbrio entre a gravidade e a pressão da radiação.

A massa da nuvem é cerca de duas vezes a massa do Sol e mede cerca de meio ano-luz de diâmetro. As arestas bem definidas de Barnard 68 e outras características mostram que a nuvem está à beira do colapso gravitacional, podendo tornar-se uma estrela dentro dos próximos 200.000 anos ou mais.
