For their development of the freely-available Weka Data Mining Software, including the accompanying book Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques (now in second edition) and much other documentation.
The Weka team includes Ian H. Witten and Eibe Frank, and the following major contributors (in alphabetical order of last names): Remco R. Bouckaert, John G. Cleary, Sally Jo Cunningham, Andrew Donkin, Dale Fletcher, Steve Garner, Mark A. Hall, Geoffrey Holmes, Matt Humphrey, Lyn Hunt, Stuart Inglis, Ashraf M. Kibriya, Richard Kirkby, Brent Martin, Bob McQueen, Craig G. Nevill-Manning, Bernhard Pfahringer, Peter Reutemann, Gabi Schmidberger, Lloyd A. Smith, Tony C. Smith, Kai Ming Ting, Leonard E. Trigg, Yong Wang, Malcolm Ware, and Xin Xu.
The Weka team has put a tremendous amount of effort into continuously developing and maintaining the system since 1994. The development of Weka was funded by a grant from the New Zealand Government's Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.
it has kept up-to-date, with new algorithms being added as they appear in the research literature.
The Weka Data Mining Software has been downloaded 200,000 times since it was put on SourceForge in April 2000, and is currently downloaded at a rate of 10,000/month. The Weka mailing list has over 1100 subscribers in 50 countries, including subscribers from many major companies.
There are 15 well-documented substantial projects that incorporate, wrap or extend Weka, and no doubt many more that have not been reported on Sourceforge.
Ian H. Witten and Eibe Frank also wrote a very popular book "Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques" (now in the second edition), that seamlessly integrates Weka system into teaching of data mining and machine learning. In addition, they provided excellent teaching material on the book website.
This book became one of the most popular textbooks for data mining and machine learning, and is very frequently cited in scientific publications.
Weka is a landmark system in the history of the data mining and machine learning research communities, because it is the only toolkit that has gained such widespread adoption and survived for an extended period of time (the first version of Weka was released 11 years ago). Other data mining and machine learning systems that have achieved this are individual systems, such as C4.5, not toolkits.
Since Weka is freely available for download and offers many powerful features (sometimes not found in commercial data mining software), it has become one of the most widely used data mining systems. Weka also became one of the favorite vehicles for data mining research and helped to advance it by making many powerful features available to all.
In sum, the Weka team has made an outstanding contribution to the data mining field.

Best Behaviour
"Best Behaviour" is a song by British hip hop group N-Dubz. The song was produced by Dappy and Fazer and co-written by Tulisa, Mr Hudson, Tony Dixon, Fazer and Dappy. It was released on 17 October 2010 as the second single from N-Dubz's third studio album, Love.Live.Life. Musically, the song is a R&B ballad with prominent British hip hop characteristics. The initial writing consisted of the group being inspired to pen a song for their launch in the United States in addition to Dappy's feelings for his girlfriend, Kaye Vassell. It was inspired by the group's touring lifestyle and their enthusiastic fans. Lyrically, it is about trading one-night stands with people in favour of real love.
The song received moderately positive reviews from contempoarary music critics who praised the song's cute chorus and N-Dubz's change in lyrical tone. It achieved commercial success by becoming the group's third top ten hit in both the United Kingdom and Scotland where it peaked at number ten in addition to garnering N-Dubz's fourth top forty hit in Ireland where it reached a chart position of number thirty-two. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Ben Peters and was released on 8 September 2010. The bling-inspired video features the group disembarking a private jet, singing at a villa situated in Provence, France and on a yacht moored off St. Tropez. N-Dubz have performed the song at the 2010 MOBO Awards and on various television programmes and concerts including Daybreak and the Orange RockCorps Concert.

N-Dubz were a British hip hop group from Camden Town, London. The group consisted of members Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer.
N-Dubz were previously signed to Polydor Records before joining All Around the World Records. They had eight top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, the most successful being "I Need You", which charted at number five.
Their debut album Uncle B was released on 17 November 2008 and debuted at number eleven on the UK Albums Chart. The album has since been certified platinum for shipments of over 300,000 in the UK. Their second album Against All Odds was released on 16 November 2009, which debuted at number 6 in the UK. It went platinum within approximately two months of release. The group announced they would be entering a hiatus in 2011 to concentrate on solo careers.
All three members of N-Dubz were born in Camden Town, north London, and two of them are of Greek-Cypriot heritage. They each attended several different schools, meeting together for the first time when they were about 13 at Haverstock School, and coming together as a group for the first time at about this age under the management of Dino's father, Byron Contostavlos (formerly of Mungo Jerry), who died on 12 April 2007. They had a hard upbringing, living on tough estates and experienced a lot first-hand as teenagers, including violence, depression, drug abuse, extreme financial difficulty, bullying, and gang culture.

Best Behavior, Vanessa Carlton
lways on your best behavior
Why'd we break up?
Can't remember why
And I was so polite
Couldn't look you in the eye
I go back to that afternoon
The way we kissed
And it ended too soon
Well, what did I say
I didn't mean to push you away
With anybody else it never feels true
How can I explain what I been going through?
No matter what I do it's only you
Every hand hold interlocking
Late night stay up
Softly talking words
I remember the sweetness of your voice
I go out and drink to your health
And I go home, I only hurt myself
So I sing this song in faith it finds you
Have a hope the kind you can't forget
But I'm still holding on
Maybe we can still be friends
I'll never push you away
Meet me there in that afternoon oh
The longest day

Q: How to set an alias on a per-directory basis? Suppose you have an alias go, but want it to do different things in different directories?
In one directory it should run cmd1, but in another directory it should run cmd2
By the way, I have an aliases for switching to the above directories already, so is it possible to append the go alias assignment to the foo alias?
alias "foo=cd /path/to/foo"

Working in bash(?) on OSX.

A: If you add the following function to your .bashrc
function cd () {
  builtin cd "$@" && [[ -f .aliases ]] && . .aliases
  return 0
}

Every time you cd to a directory with an .aliases file it will get sourced.
Careful with security if others can create files on your machine.
With this trick aliases never get removed but you can write as much code as you like in the function.
ondir uses this trick and has a ton of bells and whistles.
http://swapoff.org/ondir.html#download

A: I get the feeling you are very "directory oriented", and, in that case, this might suite your mentality better.
(But to be honest, I think this is a bad idea altogether, you'd like commands to be global.)
In .bashrc, put alias go="./.cmd" (then source ~/.bashrc).
Then, in each such directory, put a script called .cmd, then chmod +x .cmd, then just go do your thing.

A: I'm working on a project that accomplishes just that. Check it out: localalias.
Here's a demo:

Funny enough, I actually used go as an example in the demo. I did not show switching directories (something I should change about the demo) but the functions with the la command are indeed local to the directory they are defined in.

A: I was searching for a way to do this for quite a while, and today I came up with a solution that is a synthesis of some of the other answers, but with a secret ingredient that spikes the sauce; direnv.
The problem with having .aliases that is read every time, as proposed by @teknopaul, is as mentioned, that you accumulate definitions and they never unload. direnv solves this issue by loading and unloading environment variables on a per-directory basis. Still, this just handles environment variables, but we can use this together with functions!
So here is my alias for npm (which, of course, is not an alias, but a function):
function npm(){ if [[ -z "$NPMBIN" ]]; then $(which npm) $@; else $NPMBIN $@; fi; }

You can also rewrite the above to a true alias, by executing the logic in a sub-shell, but then you need to mind your escaped quotes!
alias npm='bash -c "if [[ -z \"$NPMBIN\" ]]; then $(which npm) $@; else \"$NPMBIN\" $@; fi;"'

A: It is not completely sure what you are asking, but an alias just expands to what is in the alias. If you have two aliases, you can append the different commands, even aliases.
alias "foo=cd /path/to/foo; go"
alias "foo2=cd /path/to/foo2; go"

In any other situation, you could specify a function in your .bashrc
function go ()
{
    if [ "$PWD" == "/path/to/foo" ]; then
       cmd1
    elif [ "$PWD" == "/path/to/go" ]; then
       cmd2
    fi;
}

In case you have more choices, you could better use a case structure.

A: function go() {
  if [ ! -e "./.cmd1" ]
    then command go -a $1
    else command go -b $1
  fi
}

Similar thing, but assuming "go" is a command you want different functionality from in a specific directory.

Q: Convert repeating decimal to fraction I am using a button on a JavaScript scientific calculator to convert decimal to fractions via this code:
$('#button-frac').click(function(){
var factor;

    // Finds the highest common factor of 2 numbers
    function highestCommonFactor() {
        for (factor = numerator; factor > 0; factor--) {
            if ((numerator % factor == 0) && (denominator % factor == 0)) {
                return factor;
            }
        }
    }

    // Enter a decimal to convert to a fraction
    var decimal = this.form.display.value;

    // Split the decimal
    var decimalArray = decimal.split(".");

    var leftDecimalPart = decimalArray[0];
    var rightDecimalPart = decimalArray[1];

    // Save decimal part only for later use
    var decimalOnly = "0." + rightDecimalPart;

    // Find the decimal multiplier
    var multiplier = "1";

    for (var i = 0; i < rightDecimalPart.length; i++) {
        multiplier += "0";
    }

    // Create numerator by multiplying the multiplier and decimal part together
    var numerator = Number(multiplier) * Number(decimalOnly);

    var denominator = multiplier;

    // Find the highest common factor for the numerator and denominator
    highestCommonFactor();

    // Simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by the factor
    var numerator = Number(numerator) / Number(factor);
    var denominator = Number(denominator) / Number(factor);

    // Output as a mixed number fraction (depending on input)
    var mixedNumber = leftDecimalPart + " " + numerator + "/" + denominator;

    // Output as a proper fraction or improper fraction (depending on input)
    var numerator = numerator + (leftDecimalPart * denominator);
    var fraction = numerator + "/" + denominator;

    // Display solution in input #disp
    $('#disp').val(fraction);
});

This works well, but if the decimal is non-terminating and repeating the script crashes. Any idea how I might remedy this problem? Perhaps there's a way to check if a decimal repeats and to determine the length of the string that repeats, then take that string and express it over a number with equal number of digits, all 9s? Being relatively new to JavaScript, I am at a loss.

A: Use this and round the decimal after at most 20 repeated chars.
Math.fraction=function(x){
return x?+x?x.toString().includes(".")?x.toString().replace(".","")/(function(a,b){return b?arguments.callee(b,a%b):a;})(x.toString().replace(".",""),"1"+"0".repeat(x.toString().split(".")[1].length))+"/"+("1"+"0".repeat(x.toString().split(".")[1].length))/(function(a,b){return b?arguments.callee(b,a%b):a;})(x.toString().replace(".",""),"1"+"0".repeat(x.toString().split(".")[1].length)):x+"/1":NaN:void 0;
}

Call it with Math.fraction(2.56)
It will:

*

*return NaN if the input is not a number

*return undefined if the input is undefined

*reduce the fraction

*return a string (use Math.fraction(2.56).split("/") for an array containing the numerator and denominator)

Please note that this uses the deprecated arguments.callee, and thus may be incompatible in some browsers.

Our usual 4th Tuesday ("D Week") updates didn't arrive.
Given the manifest problems, especially with the Intel microcode patches dated "2018-07" you have to wonder if there are more problems in Windows paradise.
Like many of you, I'm waiting with bated breath. I was hoping to give the all-clear for installing patches this month.
Ah well. Sit tight. We'll get the dump sooner or later.
Many of you have written, asking when I would change the MS-DEFCON level from 2 to 3 (or even 4), thus recommending that people install the August Windows and Office patches. After all, the August patches look pretty good so far. And we skipped July entirely.
I've thought about it quite a bit, and decided to stay with MS-DEFCON 2 for a while. While there are a handful of specific problems with the August patches, which I'll write about when the level hits 3 or 4, the simple fact is that there's no pressing reason to install either the July or August patches just yet. I don't see any threat, present or on the immediate horizon, that justifies jolting your system.
Let's wait and see if the Fourth Tuesday patches (er, the "D Week" patches) are similarly benign. If so, it'll be worthwhile installing the whole bunch, just to have a solid starting point for the next round of disruptions.
If you feel the urge to get patched up, by all means do so. But for the majority of Windows/Office users, the lack of a clear threat makes patching right now a "meh" exercise. Don't fret about your PC. Go out and enjoy the weather!
But it's still too early to patch. Of course.
As long as you don't use Internet Explorer or Edge, and stay away from Flash — admonitions you've heard here for years — you should be secure while you wait for the all-clear on this month's patches.
Accordingly, I'm moving us to MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it.
The Microsoft Update Catalog suddenly lists 116 separate downloadable patches, dated either Aug 10 or 11.
Looking through Childs's list, the only currently exploited "Critical" security hole is in Internet Explorer. The second currently exploited security hole is only rated "Important" which means, of course, that it isn't.
So it looks like MS still hasn't fixed the .NET bugs from last month.
Patch Lady Susan here with a late Tuesday evening update to this post: Microsoft has updated the known issues section and removed the sections about the .NET/COM errors that were listed in July. In my early testing I haven't seen side effects but I will be doing more testing/more watching. So for now hang loose and test and wait. Clearly they messed up the documentation in this month's release and copied and pasted the text from July's releases. The only known issues left are the ones with Exchange (make sure you install with admin rights) and the missing OEM note in Windows 7 (shown below). In ALL of my Windows 7 testing I have had zero issues and my understanding this network interface problem is limited to VMware (virtual machine) installs. Thus I don't anticipate that we will see this on normal machines.
August 2018 Office Security Updates have been released for Office 2016, Office 2013, Office 2010, the Office Viewers and the SharePoint servers.
SANS Internet Storm Center has their assessment, which reinforces Childs's analysis.
With Patch Tuesday arriving tomorrow, now's a good time to triple-check and make sure you have Automatic Update turned off.
We're still at MS-DEFCON 1: Current Microsoft patches are causing havoc. Don't patch.

Our goal is wellbeing on every level; from the ingredients we use, to the methods in which we source our products, we are proudly and transparently dedicated to working in beneficial and sustainable ways that ensure we 'give back' to the communities in which we operate, and to the amazing island we call home.
Our Save the Ceylon Elephant range sends 10% of every sale we make, into authorised projects designed to protect this most majestic creature. Our goal? To contribute to the practical resolution of the human-elephant conflict, to remove our elephants from the endangered species list and to once more see elephants in Sri Lanka reach pre-colonial era numbers.
Our Peace range also gives 10% of our sales back to community projects that are designed to rehabilitate people and areas damaged by war and to help fortify and build on the hard won peace that we, as a country and people are now fortunate to enjoy.
We are also particularly proud of our work in Kalpitiya where our Aloe Vera community trade-farming project has been providing sustainable livelihoods for 50 families. Set up in collaboration with the Marine & Coastal Resources Conservation Foundation in the arid Kalpitiya zone on the north-western coast, the project is a first of its kind when it comes to organized, large scale organic cultivation of Aloe Vera in the country.


When city-slicker interpreter Lukas (Serhiy Stepansky) gets separated from the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) bureaucrats he is working with in the badlands of Ukraine's war-torn east—he goes to look for a phone signal and when he returns the vehicle and his coworkers have vanished—things begin to get very strange very quickly for the hapless outsider. Stranded, with his passport and money gone, he embarks on a kind of pilgrim's progress that has him encountering odd characters and experiencing bizarre adventures that seem straight out of the twilight zone. When he is "adopted" by a weird family that includes inventor and glue expert Vova (Viktor Zhdanov) and his attractive and decidedly flirtatious daughter Marushka (Khrystyna Deilyk), Lukas' conception of what is real and what is not takes a further hit… Roman Bondarchuk's visually resplendent dark comedy is a one-of-a-kind descent into a world where anything goes, a place where a city boy might learn a thing or two, and even begin to adapt to the odd, desolate, sun-baked environment he has been trapped in. As Vova says, "It is total anarchy. If you get used to it, you'll survive."


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton is suffering from pneumonia, the Democratic presidential candidate's personal doctor said on Sunday after she fell ill at a Sept. 11 memorial, an episode that renewed focus on her health less than two months before the election.
Clinton canceled a trip she was scheduled to take to California on Monday for fundraising and other campaign events, an aide said, declining to provide further details about her schedule for the week.
Clinton, 68, was diagnosed on Friday but her condition only came to light several hours after a video on social media appeared to show her swaying and her knees buckling before being helped into a motorcade as she left the memorial early Sunday.
Clinton had a medical examination when she got back to her home in Chappaqua, New York, according to a campaign aide. Her doctor, Lisa Bardack, said in a statement that she has been experiencing a cough related to allergies and that an examination on Friday showed it was pneumonia.
"She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. While at this morning's event, she became overheated and dehydrated. I have just examined her and she is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely," Bardack said.
Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis comes at a crucial time in the White House race against Republican rival Donald Trump, who refrained from commenting on her health on Sunday.
The first of three presidential debates is on Sept. 26 and the election is on Nov. 8.
Several Clinton allies said the incident underscored the candidate's resilience.
"After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event," said Peter Daou, who worked for Clinton in the past and now has a communications firm.
The video that showed her swaying and buckling with aides holding her up came from an unverified Twitter account under the name Zdenek Gazda, who did not respond to a request for comment. The Clinton campaign did not respond to repeated requests for comment about the authenticity of the video.
Political strategists said the campaign should confront the health issue head-on to tamp down any concerns, particularly as Republican rival Donald Trump and some of his high-profile supporters have repeatedly argued that she lacked the "stamina" to battle adversaries abroad.
Bud Jackson, a Virginia-based Democratic strategist, said the statement from the doctor was a good start. He said the incident should encourage more transparency from the campaign about her health. "I think they did the right thing. They had her examined and put out a statement. It means less speculation," he said.
As the solemn ceremony began at the site of the World Trade Center that was attacked by two hijacked airliners 15 years ago, there was patchy sunlight, with temperatures at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.6 Celsius). But the high humidity early into the ceremony caused it to feel much hotter in the crowd at times.
Clinton wore a high-collared shirt and a dark pant suit and donned sunglasses for the morning event.
Clinton's pneumonia diagnosis follows a wave of conservative conspiracy theories that circulated in recent weeks suggesting that Clinton's coughing was a sign of deeper problems.
Clinton's speech at a campaign rally earlier this month in Cleveland was interrupted by a coughing spell. During the speech, she quipped, "Every time I think about Trump I get allergic." She then resumed her speech.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease expert and senior associate at the UPMC Center for Health Security in Pittsburgh who is not treating Clinton, said coughing is a cardinal symptom of pneumonia.
Recovery from pneumonia, the 8th leading cause of death in the United States, can be variable, he said, adding it takes a week for most patients to get better. Adults above the age of 65 are at heightened risk.
Past presidential candidates have released much more detailed information about their health than either Trump, 70, or Clinton.
For example, John McCain, the failed 2008 Republican presidential nominee, allowed reporters to see 1,173 pages of medical records after concerns were raised about a cancer scare.
Clinton has been in the news before for serious health issues.
In December 2012, she suffered a concussion and shortly afterward developed a blood clot.
In a letter released by her doctor in July 2015, Clinton was described as being in "excellent health" and "fit to serve" in the White House. It noted that her current medical conditions include hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergies.
The diagnosis and illness on Sunday come after some tough days for Clinton, as national polls showed her lead over Trump diminishing. A Reuters/Ipsos poll of likely voters showed an 8-point lead for Clinton had vanished by the last week of August.
Trump has also been under pressure to release detailed information on his health and medical history.

TOM CLANCY'S JACK RYAN: Season Two
Available On Blu-ray or DVD August 4


From beneath her belle of hair, what can I say?
curtained behind her fringe, they can see right in.
and, hell, why not, sailor?
and when you stroke yourself awake, it's her you first remember.
and how the love would be just somehow blessed.
swim beneath her, palming and chesting her chin.
of old, and you have to caress the tear from her face.
but she's slipped away to be not never there.
three in the morning, tossing and yawing.
and you need a drink to get the courage to say: I'm falling.


Natural Sciences and Textasy/Dustin's FTP label will present Texas Terrortech Volume 1, a collection of boosted ghetto-tech and Miami bass edits in the vein of DJ Godfather/DJ Assault. Coming out on March 29, the release comes with an insane 100+ track mix of unheard bootlegs and original material with pre-loaded Rekordbox metadata so DJs can make their own versions in the club.
In support of the release, you can download Textasy's "Woodgrain," in full via the WeTransfer button below, or here for EU readers due to temporary GDPR restrictions.

Tech Trends in 2017
written by Andrew Robinson 24/01/2017
Home > News » Tech Trends in 2017
This year we can expect to see advances in some of the most highly anticipated technological innovations from the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data.
It's an exhilarating time to be working in the technology sector. It is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world today and, according to recent studies, the rate of change and the level of disruption driven by modern technology are exponential.
Technology and data impacts every business and consumer – from software and security through to gadgets and entertainment – and there is no sign of it slowing down.
How data is captured and the sheer quantity of it that exists is driving businesses to develop technology with the capacity to collate and make sense of terabytes worth of information. The Internet of Things, for example covers any devices embedded with software connecting it to another device via the internet. These devices use IP addresses like PCs do and this has led to a revolution in how data is captured and used. Developers are constantly looking at ways to create pioneering solutions and disruptive technologies so 2017 really does have a lot in store for us.
We can expect to see advances in some of the most highly anticipated developments including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and augmented reality. But what's key to making them all succeed is talented people. Technology depends on people with the creativity to come up with ideas and the expertise to build it
More technology jobs
This means that we will see a significant increase in the number of tech job opportunities within the aforementioned fields.
We can expect the types of job roles to be created to include Embedded Software development roles, Big Data & Business Intelligence consultants, and Cloud engineers. After all, talented developers and engineers have driven the innovation behind these concepts and with the growing need to companies to secure their own data and analyse the consumers' data they collect, we can't see 2017 bucking the trend towards more disruptive innovation
In our experience, companies want to hire developers who possess a combination of technical and product skills as well as a strong focus on solving customer problems.
Technology focused recruitment
The growth in demand for tech talent will also develop changes for the recruitment industry. The days of generic recruitment agencies trying to operate in the fast-paced world of today's technologies are numbered. Technology professionals need to be supported by advisers who keep up with the technologies they are using and developing, in real time. A deeper understanding of the different complex fields that make up the tech sector is a pre-requisite in 2017 for finding true synergy between great companies and excellent talent. Recruitment firms need to be adding value more than ever before, and wasting client and candidate's time through misunderstanding job roles and candidate's aspirations is just not acceptable in this fast-paced industry. This is where specialist recruitment agencies will play a major role in facilitating this exponential growth in the tech marketplace.
Today's talented developers expect their recruitment partners to take the time to truly understand what it is they do, and in what context, in order to fully appreciate their ambitions and bring them relevant and exciting opportunities. If the tech industry is to grow at the pace the experts predict, clients and candidates alike will naturally look toward this time of recruitment partner.

Home / Film / Blu-ray Review: Mad Max
A disappointing slap in the face that feels like a money grab.
Blu-ray Review: Mad Max
Cinema Sentries October 7, 2010 Comments Off on Blu-ray Review: Mad Max 38 Views
Can you believe it's been over 30 years since this movie came out? Or as my wife so elegantly commented, "Wow, I never knew Mel Gibson used to be hot!" A surprise hit from the land down under, the film was a star-making vehicle for Gibson as well as director George Miller as they told this story about what drove officer Max Rockatansky mad enough to seek revenge against an outlaw motorcycle gang. Now it's back in a brand new combo Blu-ray/DVD release from MGM; the DVD offers the movie widescreen and fullscreen.
Frankly, this is not a film that benefits from hi definition transfer. Considering its decidedly low-tech origins, there's no overcoming its inherent image graininess. Dedicated fanatics may rejoice at the chance to make out more details than in the past from its 1080p/AVC encoded transfer, but for the casual enthusiast, there's just not enough improvement over DVD to warrant upgrading.
Audio is similarly suspect, as the Blu offers an "Australian" English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track, but considering that the film was originally released in mono there's only so much digital separation can accomplish. The Blu also offers the original mono, Spanish mono, French stereo, and American English dubbed mono.
Where this release really drops the ball is its bonus features. A quick glance at the contents reveals that the DVD contains far more bonus features than the Blu, and in fact the Blu offers no exclusive content. Both discs have a commentary track by art director Jon Dowding, cinematographer David Eggby, special effects artist Chris Murray and Max historian/collector Tim Ridge as well as the "Mad Max: The Film Phenomenon" featurette. It's a disappointing slap in the face to the fans and colors this even more as a money grab. Skip right to the DVD for your bonus feature viewing of the following:
"Mel Gibson: The Birth of a Superstar" documentary
Original trailers
"Road Rants" trivia and fun fact track
While the DVD's bonus features are robust, the disc appears to be an exact duplicate of the 2002 Special Edition DVD release. In other words, one more reason for existing owners to skip the upgrade.

Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) Negros Occidental Campaign Rally
Victorias City, Negros Occidental
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte urged the people of Negros Occidental to vote for candidates who share mutual drive and interest in developing the country and protecting it against illegal drugs, corruption, and criminality as he graced the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) Campaign Rally in Victorias City, Negros Occidental.
In his opening remarks, President Duterte emphasized on the possible pitfalls of government transactions.
"If ever may isang infrastructure program, well it's really sometimes pagandahan and yet we have this project, a couple of the press conference, tapos may mga announcement. Then after six months, may kaso na sa korte," the President stated.
"So ganun ang transaction sa Pilipinas. So much so, and I would like to assure you na ako mismo I do not allow transactions or document papers to ever, ever reach my table. Hindi ako nagtatanggap ng… It begins and ends with the Cabinet member. Wala akong imprimatur, wala lahat," he added.
He also urged his Cabinet members to deliver great results in their respective departments.
"Problema ninyo 'yan, you work on it. Give me a product that is good, that is a product of honesty and a product of goodwill," President Duterte exclaimed.
After his remarks on governance, the President lauded the 12 senatorial candidates of the PDP-Laban, citing their landmark bills that were passed into laws and recognized their years of service to the people and the government.
He also acknowledged and vouched for each candidate's characters and work ethics, giving them high praise for being hardworking public officials and true to their duty through their years of service to the people.
An estimated crowd of 26,000 flocked PDP-Laban's campaign rally, making it the biggest rally of the political party to date.

Trump vents: 'Our country is humiliated'
Former US president Donald Trump has called the botched American withdrawal from Afghanistan "the greatest embarrassment in the history of our country", eviscerating President Joe Biden for his handling of the situation.
When he was in power, Mr Trump struck a deal with the Taliban to withdraw all US forces by May 1 this year. Mr Biden ultimately delayed that deadline by several months, but did go through with the withdrawal.
The Taliban has subsequently conquered Afghanistan at a rapid pace, and last weekend took control of the capital, Kabul.
US forces still control Kabul International Airport, where they are trying to evacuate thousands of American citizens from the country. But the entrances to the airport are being guarded by Taliban checkpoints.
So Afghans who helped the US during its two decades in Afghanistan, and are therefore eligible for special visas, are struggling to get through the chaos and make it inside.
The situation is so unstable that the US embassy has warned its own citizens it "cannot ensure safe passage" to the airport.
RELATED: Gunshots erupt during live TV cross in Kabul
Mr Biden and Mr Trump have been blaming each other for the debacle.
Having bragged just a couple of weeks ago that Mr Biden "couldn't stop" the withdrawal process he had started, and having criticised the Biden administration for taking too long, the former president has since insisted things would have turned out better if he were still in power, despite the shorter May 1 time frame.
Mr Trump was interviewed on Fox News last night, and continued that line of argument.
"It's a terrible time for our country. I don't think, in all of the years, our country has ever been so humiliated," Mr Trump said.
"I don't know whether you call it a military defeat or a psychological defeat. There's never been anything like what's happened here.
"Biden put us in this position. He should have gotten the civilians out first.
"Then he should have taken the military equipment, because we have billions of dollars of brand new, beautiful equipment. Take the equipment out, then take the soldiers out."
Mr Trump is far from the only one saying this. Biden has come under heavy criticism from all sides for failing to evacuate civilians sooner, before the Taliban had a chance to take over.
"I have been personally trying to tell this administration since it took office, I've been trying to tell our government for years that this was coming. We sent them plan after plan on how to evacuate these people. Nobody listened to us," Afghanistan veteran Matt Zeller, a co-founder of the non-profit group No One Left Behind, said this week.
"They didn't plan for the evacuation of our Afghan wartime allies. They're trying to conduct it now, at the eleventh hour. The thing they were most concerned about was the optics of a chaotic evacuation. Well they got exactly what they were most concerned about, by failing to do what was right when we could have done it.
"We had all the people and equipment in place to be able to save these people months ago, and we did nothing."
RELATED: 'Bald-faced lie' in Biden's Afghanistan speech
Back to Mr Trump.
The former president suggested America was being "set up" by the Taliban, saying the militant group would consider Americans outside the airport to be "hostages".
"What happened, and what is happening in Afghanistan, is unbelievable. And we're being set up by very tough people who are very great negotiators. I tell you what, they've been fighting for a thousand years, and everything about them, they negotiate," he said.
"We're being set up. They have all of those people, and I guarantee you, in a certain way, they consider them to be hostages.
"Let's see what happens in the coming weeks. This is not a story that just happened today or yesterday, this is a story that's going to go on for a long time. And it could have a very bad ending.
"The Taliban – good fighters, I will tell you, they're good fighters, we have to give them credit for that. They have been fighting for a thousand years. That is what they do, they fight."
For the sake of accuracy here, I should note that the Taliban was founded in 1994. It has not been fighting for "a thousand" years.
Mr Trump brought up the Taliban's negotiating skills, which is a decent segue into his own dealings with the group when he was president.
In February 2020, he negotiated a peace deal with the Taliban leader now set to become Afghanistan's president, Abdul Ghani Baradar, having previously convinced Pakistan to release Baradar from prison.
The agreement, reached without input from the Afghan government, committed America to withdraw from Afghanistan 14 months later, on May 1, 2021.
The two parties also agreed that 5000 Taliban fighters would be released from prison as a precondition for peace talks between the Taliban and Afghan government.
The Taliban violated the terms of the deal within months of signing it, renewing its attacks on the Afghan army and failing to renounce al Qaeda. Mr Trump, and Mr Biden after him, could have used that as a reason to rip it up. Neither man did so.
Mr Trump alluded to his deal with the Taliban during his interview last night, as he argued the US should have a president "they're going to respect".
He then went off on a tangent about his negotiations with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
"So when they say, 'Oh he talked to the Taliban,' you remember they were criticising me. They criticised me when I talked to Kim Jong-un. Well President Biden told me it's the single biggest problem we have. I said, 'Have you ever called him? Have you ever talked to him?' 'No I haven't.'"
I believe he was actually referring to former president Barack Obama there, who told Mr Trump North Korea was America's top national security priority during the transition between their two administrations in 2016.
Mr Trump went on to become the first US president to step foot inside North Korea. He held a couple of denuclearisation summits with Kim, which ultimately proved fruitless.
"We were supposed to have a war, and probably a very big nuclear war," Mr Trump said.
"I get along with [Kim] great and I got along with him great. He doesn't like Biden much, I'll tell you that. But I got along with him great. And we had no problems. You remember that.
"Remember the big button versus the little button, and the whole thing. We get along great. We had a very good relationship. We met, I got no credit for that one, no problem.
"By the way, I got South Korea to pay billions of dollars. We're protecting South Korea. They're very wealthy. They build the ships, the build the televisions, they build, they do everything. They're a very rich – they were paying us nothing.
"I got them to pay billions and billions of dollars, because we're protecting them from North Korea. And I had a very good relationship with President Moon [Jae-in] and the people of South Korea, in fact they liked me and I liked them."
The United States and South Korea share the costs of stationing US forces on the peninsula, an arrangement which serves both countries' national interests.
South Korea gets a deterrent for North Korea, while the US gets to station forces in a strategically important location in Asia.
While Mr Trump was in office, he sought a 50 per cent increase in South Korea's contribution, and secured a more modest 8 per cent increase. So South Korea's contribution rose from $US860 million in 2018 to $US925 million the year after.
I think Mr Trump's mention of "the big button versus the little button" was a reference to his boast in 2018 that his nuclear button was "bigger and more powerful" than Kim's. That was back when they were threatening each other.
Back on the subject at hand, today General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made an extraordinary admission, revealing just how much the Taliban's rapid conquest of Afghanistan had taken the US by surprise.
"The time frame of a rapid collapse was widely estimated, and ranged from weeks to months, and even years following our departure," Gen Milley told reporters.
"There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days."
He and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said the US State Department was "working with the Taliban to facilitate safe passage" to Kabul Airport for American citizens.
But they revealed there was no plan for US forces to leave the airport and escort Americans there safely.
"We don't have the capability to go out and collect large numbers of people," General Austin said.
"We're going to get everyone that we can possibly evacuate out. And we'll do that as long as we possibly can, until the clock runs out or we run out of capability."
US admits it 'cannot ensure safe passage' for its citizens

Once a child is assessed, they receive at their local Community Care Center 16-40 hours per month of specialized care, including Speech, Occupational, Physical, Nutritional and Educational Therapies. They also receive regular medical care and familial counseling.
In Zambia, there is a significant lack of accessibility to care for children who have intellectual disabilities. Facilities and programs offering necessary therapies and education are few and far between in Lusaka, and therefore kids who have disabilities are often left incredibly marginalized and vulnerable.
In 2012, Special Hope Network set up its first two Community Care Centers in Ng'ombe and Garden compounds in order to address these issues. In 2018, two more Community Care Centers were founded in new very people-dense compounds; Mtendere and Kaunda Square. Focusing on the core principles of educational excellence and the intrinsic value of each child's life, we are working to see these children receive the care they need. Each Community Care Center is within walking distance of children's homes, therefore decreasing the significant costs of transportation. The Centers are run on a parent training model so that the Center becomes a "one-stop-shop" for everything each child needs, and each topic their parent or caregiver needs to know. And finally, the Centers consider every aspect of the child's health and well-being that are critical to their growth and development, and each caregiver is trained directly on those topics.


This guide assumes you have installed QIIME 2 using one of the procedures in the install documents and completed the moving pictures tutorial.
Metadata provides the key to gaining biological insight from your data. In QIIME 2, sample metadata may include technical details, such as the DNA barcodes that were used for each sample in a multiplexed sequencing run, or descriptions of the samples, such as which subject, time point, and body site each sample came from in a human microbiome time series. Feature metadata is often a feature annotation, such as the taxonomy assigned to a sequence variant or OTU. Sample and feature metadata are used by many plugins in QIIME 2, and examples are provided in this tutorial (and other QIIME 2 tutorials) illustrating how to use metadata in your own microbiome analyses.
Metadata is usually specific to a given microbiome study, and collecting sample metadata is typically one of the first steps you'll take before beginning a QIIME 2 analysis. It is up to the investigator to decide what information is collected and tracked as metadata. QIIME 2 does not place restrictions on what types of metadata are expected to be present; there are no enforced "metadata standards". This is your opportunity to track whatever information you think may be important to your analyses, and unfortunately QIIME 2 is not able to gather that information for you. When in doubt, collect as much metadata as possible, as you may not be able to retroactively collect certain types of information.
While QIIME 2 does not enforce standards for what types of metadata to collect, the MIMARKS standard provides recommendations for microbiome studies and may be helpful in determining what information to collect in your study. If you plan to deposit your data in a data archive (e.g. ENA or Qiita), it is also important to determine the types of metadata expected by the archive, as each archive may have its own requirements.
QIIME 2 metadata is most commonly stored in a TSV (i.e. tab-separated values) file. These files typically have a .tsv or .txt file extension, though it doesn't matter to QIIME 2 what file extension is used. TSV files are simple text files used to store tabular data, and the format is supported by many types of software, such as editing, importing, and exporting from spreadsheet programs and databases. Thus, it's usually straightforward to manipulate QIIME 2 metadata using the software of your choosing. If in doubt, we recommend using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to edit and export your metadata files.
In addition to TSV files, QIIME 2 Artifacts (i.e. .qza files) can also be used as metadata. See the section Using QIIME 2 Artifacts as Metadata below for details. QIIME 2 may also support additional file formats in the future.
In QIIME 1, TSV metadata files were referred to as mapping files. In QIIME 2, we refer to these files as metadata files, but they are conceptually the same thing. QIIME 2 metadata files are backwards-compatible with QIIME 1 mapping files, meaning that you can use existing QIIME 1 mapping files in QIIME 2 without needing to make modifications to the file.
The following sections describe formatting requirements for QIIME 2 metadata files, and how to validate your metadata files. Since there is no universal standard for TSV files, it is important to adhere to these requirements and understand how QIIME 2 will interpret the file's contents to get the most out of your (meta)data!
Sample and feature metadata files stored in Google Sheets can be validated using Keemei. Select Add-ons > Keemei > Validate QIIME 2 metadata file to validate metadata stored in Google Sheets.
QIIME 2 will also automatically validate a metadata file anytime it is used by the software. However, using Keemei to validate your metadata is recommended because a report of all validation errors and warnings will be presented each time Keemei is run. Loading your metadata in QIIME 2 will typically present only a single error at a time, which can make identifying and resolving validation issues cumbersome, especially if there are many issues with the metadata.
In the future, there will be a qiime metadata validate command to perform Keemei-style validation within QIIME 2 (e.g. if using Google Sheets is not an option for you).
If any cell in the metadata contains leading or trailing whitespace characters (e.g. spaces, tabs), those characters will be ignored when the file is loaded. Thus, leading and trailing whitespace characters are not significant, so cells containing the values 'gut' and ' gut ' are equivalent. This rule is applied before any other rules described below.
Rows whose first cell begins with the pound sign (#) are interpreted as comments and may appear anywhere in the file. Comment rows are ignored by QIIME 2 and are for informational purposes only. Inline comments are not supported.
Empty rows (e.g. blank lines or rows consisting solely of empty cells) may appear anywhere in the file and are ignored.
The first column in the metadata file is the identifier (ID) column. This column defines the sample or feature IDs associated with your study. It is not recommended to mix sample and feature IDs in a single metadata file; keep sample and feature metadata stored in separate files.
The ID column name (i.e. ID header) must be one of the following values. The values listed below may not be used to name other IDs or columns in the file.
IDs may consist of any Unicode characters, with the exception that IDs must not start with the pound sign (#), as those rows would be interpreted as comments and ignored. See the section Recommendations for Identifiers for recommendations on choosing identifiers in your study.
IDs cannot be empty (i.e. they must consist of at least one character).
IDs must be unique (exact string matching is performed to detect duplicates).
At least one ID must be present in the file.
IDs cannot use any of the reserved ID column names listed above.
Our goal with QIIME 2 is to support arbitrary Unicode characters in all cells of metadata files. However, given that QIIME 2 plugins and interfaces can be developed by anyone, we can't make a guarantee that arbitrary Unicode characters will work with all plugins and interfaces. We can therefore make recommendations to users about characters that should be safe to use in identifiers, and we are preparing resources for plugin and interface developers to help them make their software as robust as possible. As developer resources become available, we will announce them in the Developer Discussion category on the QIIME 2 Forum.
Identifiers should be 36 characters long or less.
Identifiers should contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters (i.e. in the range of [a-z], [A-Z], or [0-9]), the period (.) character, or the dash (-) character.
An important point to remember is that sometimes values in your sample metadata can become identifiers. For example, taxonomy annotations can become feature identifiers following qiime taxa collapse, and sample or feature metadata values can become identifiers after applying qiime feature-table group. If you plan to apply these or similar methods where metadata values can become identifiers, you will be less likely to encounter problems if the values adhere to these identifier recommendations as well.
To help users become aware of these recommendations, the Keemei metadata validator will warn users about identifiers that don't meet the above recommendations.
Users may be interested in the cual-id software for assistance with creating sample identifiers. The cual-id paper also provides some discussion on how to design identifiers.
Some bioinformatics tools may have more restrictive requirements on identifiers than the recommendations that are outlined here. For example, Illumina sample sheet identifiers cannot have . characters, while we do include those in our set of recommended characters. Similarly, Phylip requires that identifiers are a maximum of 10 characters, while we recommend length 36 or less. If you plan to export your data for use with other tools that may have more restrictive requirements on identifiers, we recommend that you adhere to those requirements in your QIIME 2 analyses as well, to simplify subsequent processing steps.
The length recommended here (36 characters or less) is designed to be as short as possible while still supporting version 4 UUIDs formatted with dashes.
The ID column is the first column in the metadata file, and can optionally be followed by additional columns defining metadata associated with each sample or feature ID. Metadata files are not required to have additional metadata columns, so a file containing only an ID column is a valid QIIME 2 metadata file.
May consist of any Unicode characters.
Cannot be empty (i.e. column names must consist of at least one character).
Must be unique (exact string matching is performed to detect duplicates).
Column names cannot use any of the reserved ID column names described in the section Identifier Column.
Empty cells represent missing data. Other values such as NA are not interpreted as missing data; only the empty cell is recognized as "missing". Note that cells consisting solely of whitespace characters are also interpreted as missing data because leading and trailing whitespace characters are always ignored, effectively making the cell empty.
The empty cell simply indicates that data is missing, but doesn't indicate what type of missing data it might be. You can use other values of your choosing to denote different types of missing data (e.g. "not applicable" vs. "not collected"). These custom values won't be interpreted as missing data in QIIME 2, but you can still record and use these "missing" metadata values to perform filtering on your data prior to further analyses (e.g. using qiime feature-table filter-samples to filter samples based on custom "missing" values).
QIIME 2 currently supports categorical and numeric metadata columns. By default, QIIME 2 will attempt to infer the type of each metadata column: if the column consists only of numbers or missing data, the column is inferred to be numeric. Otherwise, if the column contains any non-numeric values, the column is inferred to be categorical. Missing data (i.e. empty cells) are supported in categorical columns as well as numeric columns.
QIIME 2 supports an optional comment directive to allow users to explicitly state a column's type, avoiding the column type inference described above. This can be useful if there is a column that appears to be numeric, but should actually be treated as categorical metadata (e.g. a Subject column where subjects are labeled 1, 2, 3). Explicitly declaring a column's type also makes your metadata file more descriptive because the intended column type is included with the metadata, instead of relying on software to infer the type (which isn't always transparent).
You can use an optional comment directive to declare column types in your metadata file. The comment directive must appear directly below the header. The row's first cell must be #q2:types to indicate the row is a comment directive. Subsequent cells may contain the values categorical or numeric (both case-insensitive). The empty cell is also supported if you do not wish to assign a type to a column (the type will be inferred in that case). Thus, it is easy to include this comment directive without having to declare types for every column in your metadata.
Use qiime metadata tabulate to see the column types of your QIIME 2 Metadata. This works whether you're using the comment directive, type inference, or a combination of the two approaches.
In previous versions of QIIME 2 and QIIME 1, metadata columns were often referred to as metadata categories. Now that we support metadata column typing, which allows you to say whether a column contains numeric or categorical data, we would end up using terms like categorical metadata category or numeric metadata category, which can be confusing. We now avoid using the term category unless it is used in the context of categorical metadata. We've done our best to update our software and documentation to use the term metadata column instead of metadata category, but there may still be lingering usage of the previous terms out there.
The #q2:types comment directive is the only supported comment directive; others may be added in the future (e.g. #q2:units). For this reason, rows starting with #q2: are disallowed, as we reserve that namespace for future comment directives.
Use the decimal number system: ASCII characters [0-9], . for an optional decimal point, and + and - for positive and negative signs, respectively.
Scientific notation may be used with E-notation; both e and E are supported.
Only up to 15 digits total (including before and after the decimal point) are supported to stay within the 64-bit floating point specification. Numbers exceeding 15 total digits are unsupported and will result in undefined behavior.
Common representations of not a number (e.g. NaN, nan) or infinity (e.g. inf, -Infinity) are not supported. Use an empty cell for missing data (e.g. instead of NaN). Infinity is not supported at this time in QIIME 2 metadata files.
The details in this section generally aren't necessary if you're creating and exporting QIIME 2 metadata files using a spreadsheet program (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets). If you're creating TSV files by hand (e.g. in a text editor) or writing your own software to consume or produce QIIME 2 metadata files, the details in this section may be important, so read on!
QIIME 2 attempts to interoperate with TSV files exported from Microsoft Excel, as this is the most common TSV "dialect" we have seen in use. The QIIME 2 metadata parser (i.e. reader) uses the Python csv module excel-tab dialect for parsing TSV metadata files. This dialect supports wrapping fields in double quote characters (") to allow for tab, newline, and carriage return characters within a field. To include a literal double quote character in a field, the double quote character must be immediately preceded by another double quote character. See the Python csv module for complete documentation on the excel-tab dialect.
Metadata files must be encoded as UTF-8, which is backwards-compatible with ASCII encoding.
Unix line endings (\n), Windows/DOS line endings (\r\n), and "classic Mac OS" line endings (\r) are all supported by the metadata parser for interoperability. When metadata files are written to disk in QIIME 2, the line endings will always be \r\n (Windows/DOS line endings).
The metadata parser ignores any trailing empty cells that occur past the fields declared by the header. This is mainly for interoperability with files exported from some spreadsheet programs. These trailing cells/columns may be jagged (or not); they will be ignored either way when the file is read.
If a row doesn't contain as many fields as declared by the header, empty cells will be padded to match the header length (again, this is mainly for interoperability with exported spreadsheets).
Since this is a TSV file, it can be opened and edited in a variety of applications, including text editors, Microsoft Excel, and Google Sheets (e.g. if you plan to validate your metadata with Keemei).
Based on the table in tabulated-sample-metadata.qzv, how many samples are associated with subject-1? How many samples are associated with the gut body site? Hint: use the search box and/or the column sorting options to assist with this query.
In addition to TSV metadata files, QIIME 2 also supports viewing some kinds of artifacts as metadata. An example of this is artifacts of type SampleData[AlphaDiversity].
What is the largest value of Faith's PD? What is the smallest? Hint: use the column sorting functions to assist with this query.
When an artifact is viewed as metadata, the result includes that artifact's provenance in addition to its own.
Try inspecting tabulated-faith-pd-metadata.qzv at https://view.qiime2.org and locate this artifact in the interactive provenance graph.
The resulting metadata after the merge will contain the intersection of the identifiers across all of the specified files. In other words, the merged metadata will only contain identifiers that are shared across all provided metadata files. This is an inner join using database terminology.
Modify the command above to merge the evenness vector of SampleData[AlphaDiversity] after the Faith's PD vector. What happens when merging the three artifacts? How many columns are present in the resulting metadata visualization? How many of those columns represent the sample IDs? How many of those columns represent SampleData[AlphaDiversity] metrics? What happens to the visualization if the order of the metadata files is reversed? Hint, take a closer look at the column ordering.
What body sites are associated with the highest Faith's phylogentic diversity value? Hint: first color by body site, and then color by Faith's PD using a continuous color scheme.
Metadata in QIIME 2 can be applied to sample or features — so far we have only dealt with sample metadata. This section will focus on feature metadata, specifically how to view FeatureData as metadata.
The resulting table shows the joined metadata files with a column of the the feature IDs, a column of the representative sequences, a column of the taxonomic assignments, and lastly, a column of the assignment confidence.
Are all artifacts (.qza files) viewable as metadata? Hint: try tabulating a feature table artifact. Are all metadata files stored as .qza files?
Finally, there are export options available in the visualizations produced from metadata tabulate. Using the results from tabulated-feature-metadata.qzv, export the data as a new TSV. Open that file in a TSV viewer or text editor and note that the contents are the same as the interactive metadata table in the visualization.
Can the exported TSV from the above step be used as metadata? What are some benefits of being able to export metadata (hint: see the discussion above about metadata merging)? What about some potential drawbacks (hint: what happens to data provenance when data is exported from QIIME 2)?
