Games With Ray Tracing – What Can You Play?
by Mike SandersWith the release of the Nvidia 20XX RTX graphics cards last year, Team Green launched what was (arguably) one of the biggest innovations in GPU technology for quite some time. Namely, ray tracing and DLSS.
Admittedly, there has been some (quite fair) criticism that despite the introduction of DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and ray tracing, the gaming industry has been a little slow in adopting the new features offered.
If you are, however, a proud owner of an Nvidia 20XX graphics card and want to see what all the fuss is about, then the following games or applications are a great place to start!
Nvidia 20XX RTX – What is DLSS and Ray Tracing?
So, you might be wondering exactly what this technology does. Well, before we get into the games and applications that support the RTX features, we can give you a brief description of what both DLSS and ray tracing is and does.
DLSS
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an Nvidia RTX technology that uses AI to boost a games framerate within graphically-intensive workloads. The main perk of it is that, in theory, higher resolutions can be used without any notable impact on a game’s performance.
Ray Tracing
Ray Tracing is a little bit more complicated than DLSS. In it’s simplest terms, however, the ray-tracing offered via the hardware in Nvidia 20XX graphics cards effectively allows for light and shadow to be realistically rendered in real-time.
So, what difference does this offer? Well, to date, games have had to manually insert lighting effects, reflections, and shadows graphically. In other words, if a lighting effect is shown, it had to manually be inserted there. With this new technology, however, it can be done automatically and to a much higher standard of realism.
It should be noted, for the sake of clarity, that Nvidia didn’t ‘invent’ this technology. It has, actually, been around for quite some time. The release of the Nvidia RTX graphics cards, however, provided the first modern and hardware dedicated solution for desktop users.
What Currently Supports the Technology?
Despite the popularity of the Nvidia 20XX graphics cards since their launch, to date, there aren’t exactly masses of games and applications that support the RTX features on offer. The good news is that the list is currently growing and, if you are in the market for something to stretch the legs of your brand new Nvidia card, then the following will be perfect for you.

Upcoming Games That Will Offer Support?
Despite a rather tepid initial adoption rate by game developers, more games are on the way that will look to fully (and arguably, offer better) support for the Nvidia RTX features.

What Do We Think?
It should, of course, be noted that ray tracing compatibility is not (strictly speaking) the sole domain of Nvidia. AMD graphics cards can produce the effects via DirectX 12, however, do not (as of the time of writing) support the technology via separate dedicated hardware. In other words, using it has a significantly greater impact on performance via the current AMD platform. With AMD set to launch more graphics cards in 2020 (as well as Intel already confirmed to be on the hardware dedicated ray-tracing boat) expect things to get a lot more exciting in the very near future!

title: Espresso Martini Sleep Calculator
---
The idea
While joking around with friends, I had the idea for an espresso martini sleep calculator. The premise is, *when will I
be able to get to sleep given the number of espresso martinis I've had*. This was a fun little project that I wrote in
about 15 minutes on codepen and thought I'd share.
The result
Based on 3 hours per espresso shot to get through your system.
I hope you enjoy and drink responsibly.


EXISTENZ Written and Directed by David Cronenberg
(review by Travis Hoover-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>/ Please visit my website, "Travis Hoover's Days of Thunder"- http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/1408/ )
Existenz is yet another example of David Cronenberg divided against himself. His films tend to depict the actions of an altered human consciousness in which he would dearly like to participate, coupled with the price of that consciousness, which is normally paid for in blood. One thinks back to Naked Lunch, where for William Lee writing is equated with killing his wife over and over; Seth Brundle in The Fly, where his "improvements" ultimately result in his loss of humanity and death; and the participants in Crash who seem marked for death after being introduced to the sexual euphoria in dangerous driving. Cronenberg is forever torn between the transformation of humans into other beings, all the while planning on the moment when he can hit the ejector seat and leave his fated company to die or disperse into silence and solitude.
This time his dual citizenship in the country of his special little people is represented by a marketing man (Jude Law) who is torn from the very fabric of reality itself in the course of doing his job. Doing security at a test-marketing session for the new virtual reality game Existenz (hence the title), the little man finds himself defending the game's inventor, Allegra Gellar (Jennifer Jason Leigh) from a pack of terrorists called "realists" who wish to destroy the very idea of virtual reality. Fleeing from an attempted massacre by a realist with a flesh and blood gun- which shoots human teeth- he is thrust into the arms of the virtual reality program of which he is very wary. As he says in the film's forthrightly Freudian manner, "I don't like the idea of things penetrating..."
While the film remains centred on the travail of Leigh's character, the audience is stuck with the know-nothing Law as entry point to this strange new world of besieged falsehood and militant reality. Running with his widely-acknowledged debt to the interview he conducted with Salman Rushdie, we are presented with a fiction perceived as so dangerous that extremists will kill those who propagate it. This means that those on the side of the fiction must find a safe haven- no easy feat with a huge price on Leigh's head. The plot thickens when her "game pod"- a curvy, feminine device with two nipples and a central valley- is shorted out by an improperly-installed spinal jack on Law; the two must first find someone to repair the organically based game pod, and then jack into it in order to ensure the game's safety.
Giving away any more of the plot of this multi-layered extravaganza wouldn't be cricket. But rest assured that there are gender issues to be dealt with here, as there always are in Cronenberg. As stated earlier, Law's character hasn't been fitted for a spinal jack because fears the act of "penetration" to be performed on him, thus confirming a certain amount of feminization of the part of the VR user. Cronenberg's oeuvre has long been concerned with the feminization of participants in technology, from the giant metallic telepod-as-womb in The Fly to the hallucinated vagina on James Woods in Videodrome to the long scars that the car-sex enthusiasts in Crash fetishize. In an article by an author whose name escapes me now, Cronenberg was accused of envying the female capacity for reproduction, and thus explored the possibility of feminization through penetration (The critters in Shivers, for example) or the construction of wombs (gynecology in Dead Ringers, the telepods in The Fly, Woods' vagina-like opening in Videodrome). Cronenberg is obsessed with creating special people who can transcend gender through artificial means, making the gender divide almost invisible.
But what is also recurrent is Cronenberg's waffling over the significance of his special people. On the one hand, he seems fascinated by their increased powers and sheer difference- the fact that they are other, enhanced beings than mere humans; on the other hand, this difference gets to be dangerous. While he would seem to be on the side of the pro-game contingent here, his camera style and second-person entry point through law would seem to indicate a sense of disconnection from his own creations, as if he had opened Pandora's box and then denied the whole thing. The fascination we have with the characters is filtered through Cronenberg's fascination and repulsion, resulting in an arms-length aesthetic practice in which the characters and situations are observed rather than identified with. This isn't some Brechtian agenda of Cronenberg's- it's emotional cold feet, a bizarre act of disavowal which ends up trivializing the films' explosive subject matter into a series of theorems to be examined but never engaged with. This unwillingness to go the other way is best summed up by Videodrome's New Flesh convert blowing his brains out, but never suggesting the utopian vision on the other side that the film has been hinting at.
The intellectual double-standard is here coupled with an aesthetic aridity that is all too familiar to those who have followed Cronenberg's career. What calls for an extravaganza of sensory overload in the world of the VR simulation is visually lacking, full of unused spaces and God's-eye camera angles. While you are invited to watch through the surrogate of Law, watching is all that you'll do; your participation is limited to being directed by Leigh and watching in horror at the consequences of a variety of pre-chosen actions dicatated by the Existenz game. Ultimately there's not much freedom in Cronenberg's world. There is a definite feeling of futility of any of the actions of the characters in the film, as dependant as they are on other people (beings?) pulling the strings on the shifting landscapes of the mind. The results, while nominally engrossing, are ultimately unfeeling and hollow at heart.

Ukrainian athlete Mahuchikh wins Female Rising Star Award
Another 18-year-old athlete from Ukraine, Mykhaylo Kokhan, was a nominee for the Male Rising Star Award.
Eighteen-year-old Ukrainian athlete Yaroslava Mahuchikh has won the 2019 Female Rising Star Award of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
The ІААF World Athletics Awards ceremony was hosted in Monaco on November 23, World Athletics said on Twitter.
The Ukrainian earned world high jump silver with a world U20 record of 2.04m.
"Thank you to everyone who supports me and believes in me," she says. "I never imagined that I would take the silver medal in Doha," the World Athletics press service quoted Mahuchikh as saying.
Other Female Rising Star Award nominees were Britany Anderson (Jamaica), Lemlem Hailu (Ethiopia), Glenda Morejón (Ecuador), and Sha'Carri Richardson (the United States). Mahuchikh is the only one among them who is a world champion.
Another 18-year-old athlete from Ukraine Mykhaylo Kokhan was nominated for the Male Rising Star Award, which went to athlete from Ethiopia Selemon Barega.
Kenya's Eliud Kipchoge was named the winner of the Male Athlete of the Year. World 400m hurdles champion Dalilah Muhammad scooped the Female Athlete of the Year Award, having twice broken the world record this year.
As was reported, Mahuchikh late in October 2019 took the European Athletics 2019 Women's Rising Star Award.

The members participating in the ICO will be given the opportunity to vote on the above percentages and any of the investment opportunities where appropriate.
No matter how much we diversify our investments, it's impossible to get rid of all the risk. As investors, yes Gamma Founders are also investors in our own fund, we deserve a rate of return that compensates us for taking on risk. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) helps us to calculate investment risk and what return on investment we should expect. Here we take a closer look at how it works.
The capital asset pricing model was the work of financial economist (and later, Nobel laureate in economics) William Sharpe, set out in his 1970 book "Portfolio Theory and Capital Markets." His model starts with the idea that individual investment contains two types of risk:
Modern portfolio theory shows that specific risk can be removed through diversification. The trouble is that diversification still doesn't solve the problem of systematic risk; even a portfolio of all the shares in the stock market can't eliminate that risk. Therefore, when calculating a deserved return, systematic risk is what plagues investors most. CAPM, therefore, evolved as a way to measure this systematic risk.
Sharpe found that the return on an individual stock, or a portfolio of stocks, should equal its cost of capital. The standard formula remains the CAPM, which describes the relationship between risk and expected return.
Here is the formula:
CAPM's starting point is the risk-free rate – typically a 10-year government bond yield. To this is added a premium that equity investors demand to compensate them for the extra risk they accept. This equity market premium consists of the expected return from the market as a whole less the risk-free rate of return. The equity risk premium is multiplied by a coefficient that Sharpe called "beta."
According to CAPM, beta is the only relevant measure of a stock's risk. It measures a stock's relative volatility – that is, it shows how much the price of a particular stock jumps up and down compared with how much the stock market as a whole jumps up and down. If a share price moves exactly in line with the market, then the stock's beta is 1. A stock with a beta of 1.5 would rise by 15% if the market rose by 10% and fall by 15% if the market fell by 10%.
Beta is found by statistical analysis of individual, daily share price returns, in comparison with the market's daily returns over precisely the same period. In their classic 1972 study "The Capital Asset Pricing Model: Some Empirical Tests," financial economists Fischer Black, Michael C. Jensen and Myron Scholes confirmed a linear relationship between the financial returns of stock portfolios and their betas. They studied the price movements of the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange between 1931 and 1965.
Beta, compared with the equity risk premium, shows the amount of compensation equity investors need for taking on additional risk. If the stock's beta is 2.0, the risk-free rate is 3%, and the market rate of return is 7%, the market's excess return is 4% (7% - 3%). Accordingly, the stock's excess return is 8% (2 X 4%, multiplying market return by the beta), and the stock's total required return is 11% (8% + 3%, the stock's excess return plus the risk-free rate).
What this shows is that a riskier investment should earn a premium over the risk-free rate – the amount over the risk-free rate is calculated by the equity market premium multiplied by its beta. In other words, it's possible, by knowing the individual parts of the CAPM, to gauge whether or not the current price of a stock is consistent with its likely return – that is, whether or not the investment is a bargain or too expensive.
This model presents a very simple theory that delivers a simple result. The theory says that the only reason an investor should earn more, on average, by investing in one stock rather than another is that one stock is riskier. Not surprisingly, the model has come to dominate modern financial theory. But does it really work?
It's not entirely clear. The big sticking point is beta. When professors Eugene Fama and Kenneth French looked at share returns on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq between 1963 and 1990, they found that differences in betas over that lengthy period did not explain the performance of different stocks. The linear relationship between beta and individual stock returns also breaks down over shorter periods of time. These findings seem to suggest that CAPM may be wrong.
While some studies raise doubts about CAPM's validity, the model is still widely used in the investment community. Although it is difficult to predict from beta how individual stocks might react to particular movements, investors can probably safely deduce that a portfolio of high-beta stocks will move more than the market in either direction, and a portfolio of low-beta stocks will move less than the market.
This is important for investors – especially fund managers – because they may be unwilling to or prevented from holding cash if they feel that the market is likely to fall. If so, they can hold low-beta stocks instead. Investors can tailor a portfolio to their specific risk-return requirements, aiming to hold securities with betas in excess of 1 while the market is rising, and securities with betas of less than 1 when the market is falling.
Not surprisingly, CAPM contributed to the rise in use of indexing – assembling a portfolio of shares to mimic a particular market – by risk-averse investors. This is largely due to CAPM's message that it is only possible to earn higher returns than those of the market as a whole by taking on higher risk (beta).
The capital asset pricing model is by no means a perfect theory. But the spirit of CAPM is correct. It provides a usable measure of risk that helps investors determine what return they deserve for putting their money at risk.

ZIP: 304 Title: Sapling Address Signatures Owners: Jack Grigg<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Credits: Daira Emma Hopwood<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Sean Bowe<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Status: Draft Category: Standards / RPC / Wallet Created: 2020-06-01 License: MIT Discussions-To: <https://github.com/zcash/zips/issues/345> Pull-Request: <https://github.com/zcash/zips/pull/376>
The key words "MUST" and "SHOULD" in this document is to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. 1
This proposal describes a mechanism for creating signatures with Sapling addresses, suitable for use by the signmessage
and verifymessage
RPC methods in zcashd
.
There are a variety of situations where it is useful for a user to be able to prove that they control a given payment address. For example, before a high-value transfer of funds, the sender may want to verify that the recipient will definitely be able to spend them, to ensure that the funds won't be stuck in an invalid or unusable address.
A payment address is analogous (in some cases, identical) to a public key in a signature scheme. A transaction that spends funds received by the address, is authorized by making (the equivalent of) a signature with the corresponding spending key. This authorization protocol can be repurposed to instead sign a message provided by a third party.
Bitcoin Core's bitcoind
provides a signmessage
RPC method that implements message signing for Bitcoin addresses, leveraging the fact that a Bitcoin private key is just a secp256k
private key, and a Bitcoin transaction authorizes spends with a signature. zcashd
inherited this RPC method, and it can be used to make signatures for transparent Zcash addresses.
However, support for signing messages with shielded addresses was not possible when Zcash launched, because of the design of the Sprout protocol (and the state of zero-knowledge proof R&D at the time). Shielded transactions, by design, do not expose the payment address of the sender when creating a transaction; in Sprout, this meant that the spending key was a private input to the zero-knowledge proof, and not a key that could be used to create a signature.
One of the R&D achievements behind the Sapling protocol was the ability to use elliptic curves inside a circuit. With this primitive available, Sapling keys and payment addresses could be designed such that transaction authorization involved a signature. While this was designed to enable hardware wallets (which lack the power to create zero-knowledge proofs, but can easily create signatures), it also enables the creation of a mechanism for signing arbitrary messages. That mechanism is the subject of this ZIP.
The following constants and functions used in this ZIP are defined in the Zcash protocol specification: 3
We also reproduce some notation and functions here for convenience:
Given a payment address, a message, and a valid signature, the following properties should hold:
Multiple signatures by a single payment addresses are not required to be unlinkable.
A Sapling address signature is created by taking the process for creating a Sapling Spend description, and running it with fixed inputs:
The inputs to the signature algorithm are:
The signature is created as follows:
The inputs to the verification algorithm are:
The signature MUST be verified as follows:
The raw form of a ZIP 304 signature is \(\mathsf{nf}\,||\,\mathsf{LEBS2OSP}_{256}(\mathsf{repr}_{\mathbb{J}}(\mathsf{rk}))\,||\,zkproof\,||\,spendAuthSig\) , for a total size of 320 bytes.
When encoding a ZIP 304 signature in a human-readable format, implementations SHOULD use standard Base64 for compatibility with the signmessage
and verifymessage
RPC methods in zcashd
. ZIP 304 signatures in this form are 428 bytes. The encoded form is the string
\(\texttt{"zip304:"}\)
followed by the result of Base64-encoding 2 the raw form of the signature.
We use a fake note within the signature scheme in order to reuse the Sapling Spend circuit and its parameters. It is possible to construct a signature scheme with a smaller encoded signature, but this would require a new circuit and another parameter-generation ceremony (if Groth16 were used).
We use a note value of \(1\) zatoshi instead of zero to ensure that the payment address is fully bound to \(zkproof\) . Notes with zero value have certain constraints disabled inside the circuit.
We set \(\mathsf{rcm}\) and \(\mathsf{rcv}\) to zero because we do not need the hiding properties of the note commitment or value commitment schemes (as we are using a fixed-value fake note), and can thus omit both \(\mathsf{rcm}\) and \(\mathsf{rcv}\) from the signature.
A normal (and desired) property of signature schemes is that all signatures for a specific public key are linkable if the public key is known. ZIP 304 signatures have the additional property that all signatures for a specific payment address are linkable without knowing the payment address, as the first 32 bytes of each signature will be identical.
A signature is bound to a specific diversified address of the spending key. Signatures for different diversified addresses of the same spending key are unlinkable, as long as \(α\) is never re-used across signatures.
Most of the data within a ZIP 304 signature is inherently non-malleable:
The one component that is inherently malleable is \(zkproof\) . The zero-knowledge property of a Groth16 proof implies that anyone can take a valid proof, and re-randomize it to obtain another valid proof with a different encoding. We prevent this by binding the encoding of \(zkproof\) to \(spendAuthSig\) , by including \(zkproof\) in the message digest.

For our final example of what Python can do with data, we'll look at how Python supports building a three-tier client/server architecture. This will be a fairly straightforward example, as we did a lot of the groundwork in the last section.
Simple database applications have two tiers: database and user interface. A dialog to maintain client details might perform a SELECT query to get all the details of a customer and store those details in the user interface; either directly in text boxes, or in variables stored in the same form or module. When the data has been changed, the system performs an UPDATE query to store the results.
A three-tier architecture creates a Customer class to hold the information, and provides functions to load customers from the database and store them back to it. The GUI layer gets data from the Customer objects. Objects in the middle layer are often known as business objects , because they model things in the business or problem domain, rather than systems objects like database connections, or GUI objects like queries. If you are writing object-oriented programs, you're already at work on the business objects.
Three-tier also describes network partitioning. With modern distributed-object technologies such as COM and CORBA (and some much lighter alternatives like Python's RemoteCall package), it's easy to run the database on one machine, the business objects on another, and the GUI on a third. It's highly likely that your Customer object will pop up in many parts of the application, so the three-tier approach is much better for all but the simplest application. There's a lot of marketing hype about this. We'll just focus on the logical aspects.
Real-life databases need lots of tables to represent a business object such as a customer or an invoice. Similarly, the objects in memory are bound to have references to other objects and lists of subobjects; a Customer object may provide access to a list of invoices, and a list of correspondence items received. There is a lot of work involved in building class hierarchies and tables to match each other and code to fetch and store the right records at the right time. Furthermore, every change in the database may necessitate changing and recompiling your business object code, and vice versa.
Not with Python! Python's dynamic nature makes it possible to dramatically reduce the dependencies between database and business objects.
We saw in Chapter 6, that Python objects can hold any attributes you want, in addition to those defined for the class. Any Python object's attributes and methods are held in a hidden, internal dictionary. And we have just learned how to fetch those!
The simplest way to construct an object from a database is to use an almost-empty class. Remember you can add attributes at runtime to a Python class as follows:
>>> class DumbDbRecord: ... pass ... >>> r1 = DumbDbRecord() >>> r1.CustomerID = 1234 >>> r1.Name = 'Pythonics Inc.' >>>
It would be easy to examine a database cursor and add all attributes to an object such as this, creating a handy database record object with a clean syntax. However, this approach carries a weakness. You presumably will want to write objects that have attributes and methods important to the functioning of the program, and to keep them separate from data fetched from the database. We've therefore defined a class that can accept a dictionary of fields and values and keep them separate from its own attributes.
A helpful piece of Python magic is the ability to trap attribute access. We saw in Chapter 6 that a Python object can monitor attempts to set or get its attributes. If you ask an instance of this next class for an attribute it can't find, it goes and checks in the dictionary it got from the database:
class Record: #holds arbitrary database data def __init__(self): self._dbdata = {} def loadFromDict(self, aDict): "accept all attributes in the dictionary" self._dbdata.update(aDict) def getData(self): return self._dbdata.copy() def pp(self): "pretty-print my database data" pprint(self._dbdata) def __getattr__(self, key): """This is called if the object lacks the attribute. If the key is not found, it raises an error in the same way that the attribute access would were no __getattr__ method present. """ return self._dbdata[key]
Now you can use it to represent any kind of object you want and access the variables with the most natural syntax:
>>> import laundry >>> pc_dict = {'Name':'Yosemite', 'Maker':'Carrera','Speed':266} >>> rec = laundry.Record() >>> rec.loadFromDict(pc_dict) >>> rec.Maker 'Carrera' >>> rec.Speed 266 >>>
It's easy to extend DataSet to get a list of objects rather than dictionaries, and your data-manipulation code will be extremely readable. Furthermore, you can derive many of the INSERT and UPDATE statements you need automatically.
If you use this class and populate it with the results of a query, whenever someone adds a database field to the Customers table, your objects acquire the new data attribute automatically. If someone deletes a database field the program needs, your code will need fixing (Python is powerful, but not telepathic) but your model can be made reasonably robust against the deletion on information fields as well.[7]
[7] Some Python GUI libraries, such as Tkinter, make it easy to build dialogs dynamically as well, so that the edit boxes displayed on a customer dialog could also depend on the available data.
The examples in this chapter used two tables, one of clients and one of invoices, with a master-detail relationship. In terms of objects, you'd say that a client has a list of related invoices. However, it might be expensive to fetch these every time when a user might want to see them only some of the time.
Let's implement a lazy fetch to get the data on demand. This Customer class inherits from our Record class. Given a database connection, it fetches its main attributes when explicitly asked, but the invoice list is retrieved on demand:
class Customer(Record): def __getattr__(self, key): #trap attempts to fetch the list of invoices if key == 'Invoices': self.fetchInvoices() return self.Invoices else: #call the inherited method return Record.__getattr__(self, key) def fetch(self, conn, key): self.conn = conn cursor = self.conn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM Clients \ WHERE ClientID = '%s'" % key) dicts = DataSetFromCursor(cursor).asDicts() assert len(dicts) == 1, 'Error fetching data!' self.loadFromDict(dicts[0]) def fetchInvoices(self): #presumes an attribute pointing to the database cursor = self.conn.cursor() cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM Invoices \ WHERE ClientID = '%s'" % self.ClientID) ds = DataSetFromCursor(cursor) self.Invoices = ds.asObjects()
Using this class is straightforward:
>>> c = laundry.Customer() >>> c.fetch(conn, 'MEGAWAD') # assume an open connection >>> c.CompanyName # see if we got data... 'MegaWad Investments' >>> c.pp() # let's see all the fields {'Address1': '1 St. Fredericks-Le-Grand', 'Address2': 'London EC1A 8AB', 'Address3': None, 'Address4': None, 'ClientID': 'MEGAWAD', 'CompanyName': 'MegaWad Investments', 'ContactName': 'Hachiro Kobayashi'} >>> len(c.Invoices) # trigger another fetch 4 >>> c.Invoices[0].Hours # access a child object 42.0 >>>
The example so far only fetches data. The __setattr_ _() method lets you trap attempts to set attributes in an analogous way, which you can use to update field lists, type-check arguments, and keep track of whether an object has changed and so needs updates posted back to the database.
It's possible in Python to build an even more general data-driven object framework, where you declared some mapping of objects to database rows, along with the names of classes to use and the relationships between database tables, and let Python build an entire web of objects on demand.

STAYING TOGETHER A film review by Randy Parker Copyright 1996 Randy Parker
RATING: ** (out of ****)
(Review written in 1989)
STAYING TOGETHER reminds me of another small-town-slice-of-life movie: MYSTIC PIZZA. STAYING TOGETHER is sort of the flip side of that far superior film: instead of depicting three young women and their boyfriends, STAYING TOGETHER follows three young men and their girlfriends. The movie also mixes in a strong dose of father-son conflict to stir things up. Dramatically, STAYING TOGETHER is a mess, but thankfully it partially redeems itself with its off-beat humor.
The movie is set in Ridgeway, South Carolina, where three brothers help their father run the family restaurant, McDermott's Famous Chicken. The early portion of the film captures the charm and flavor of the town's leisurely life-style.  Life is easy and simple. That is, until their father turns their lives upside down by abruptly selling the family business.
STAYING TOGETHER suffers from a wildly inconsistent and sometimes incoherent script by playwright Monte Merrick. Merrick definitely has a knack for creating comic situations. For example, in one scene, the oldest brother, played by Tim Quill, makes love to Stockard Channing while she is on the phone. Somehow, the movie manages to squeeze laughs out of this tired gag.
Unfortunately, STAYING TOGETHER falls apart whenever it shifts gears from comedy to drama. The film really lays an egg during the "Big Emotional Moments," which come fast and furious. After the uptight father suffers a heart attack, every twist and turn in the story seems to bring about an emotional crisis. None of these scenes rings true because the characters sound like they are delivering speeches rather than speaking naturally. The supposedly touching moments have all the emotional impact of a calculus lecture.
Neither director Lee Grant nor the cast is really to blame; the weak script is just too much for them to overcome. As far as the performances go, the real bright spot is Sean Astin, who plays the youngest brother--a rambunctious 17-year-old. Astin steals every scene he's in with his flamboyant charisma. Melinda Dillon also stands out as the hip housewife and mother.
For a movie that leaves you so cold emotionally, STAYING TOGETHER provides more entertainment than you might expect, but whether it's worth 6 bucks plus parking is another matter altogether.

Gameplay
Players are dealt 5 cards each; the deck is then cut and the cut card becomes the first card in the discard pile. Play starts randomly.
The next card played must be of the same suit or the same value as the card on the top of the discard pile. If a 7 of spades was on the top of the discard pile, the player can play a 9 of spades or a 7 of clubs. If the player cannot play a card, he must draw from the deck.
Cards can be played in runs, i.e. 5 of Spades, 5 of Diamonds, 5 of Hearts.
When an action card is played, the player next in sequence must complete the action or add to it to pass in onto the next player in sequence. When down to a single card, a player must say "Macao!". The winner of the game is the first player to have no cards;
Action cards
- If a 2 is played, the next player in sequence must pick up 2 cards unless they have a 2, in which case they can add this to the original 2 and the next player in sequence must pick up 4 cards and so on.
- If a 3 is played, the next player in sequence must pick up 3 cards unless they have a 3, in which case they can add this to the original 3 and the next player in sequence must pick up 6 cards and so on.
- If a 4 is played, the next player in sequence must miss a go, unless they have a 4, in which case they can add this to the original 4 and the next player in sequence miss 2 goes.
- If a Jack is played, the player placing the Jack can call for a non-action card value, him and the player in sequence must either play the card value called or place another Jack down and call a different value.
- If a King of Spades is played, the previous player in sequence must pick up 5 cards, unless they have a King of Hearts, in which case they can add this to the original King and the next player in sequence must pick up 10 cards.
- If a King of Hearts is played, the next player in sequence must pick up 5 cards, unless they have a King of Spades, in which case they can add this to the original King and the next player in sequence must pick up 10 cards.
- If a King of Hearts is played or King of Spades is played, the player who must pick up cards can use King of Diamonds or King of Clubs to defend himself and not take any cards.
- If an Ace is played, the player playing the Ace can call a suit suit of choice.
Multiples action cards can be played, i.e. Player 1 plays three 2s and the next player in sequence must pick up 6 cards unless they have another 2. This is the same for 3's, 4's and Kings.

Match Play. 4-4 to 7. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=124 White=139
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Yet another position where there is a huge difference between the cube action for money and at this actual score.
For money this is a borderline no double but not doubling at 3-away, 3-away is a big blunder. At this score you should both double earlier than normal and drop earlier than normal. This is a great double at this score with the volatility sky-high and a gammon wins the match for Red.
White has enough structure plus racing chances to make it a comfortable take.

Present: C17 and John Blue
C17: So, Mr. Blue, I'm afraid this is the end of your subversive career. How are you feeling?
John Blue: I'm not sure... Kinda relieved, honestly. It was exciting to begin with, but I was starting to have second thoughts. Everything just seemed a bit too ... cliché, somehow.
C17: That's good. Regret will look good on your record.
John Blue: What's going to happen now? Are you going to torture me?
C17: What? No, I'm not remotely qualified for anything like that.
John Blue: That was a plural you!!!*
C17: Oh, right. No, torture is rarely an effective option, and you don't strike me as the torturable type anyway. Just cooperate and everything will be fine. You'll probably be resettled to a nice location. One of my former colleagues was sent to Portmeirion!
John Blue: Ok...
C17: But I digress. Tell me how you became involved with IAM operatives.
John Blue: Well, I was going through a rough patch, and it just kinda happened... Philip Larkin once said that "you can look out of your life like a train and see what you're heading for, but you can't stop the train."
C17: That's not a very good metaphor, though, is it? Trains run on tracks. You made a choice.
John Blue: Maybe choices are like the railroad switches?
C17: Please tell me this is not going to turn into a trolley problem.
John Blue: God, no!  I guess that's why I switched to literature.
C17: Well, Heidegger thought it was important for people to realize the necessity of making sacrifices for the greater good. I actually wrote my thesis on trolley problems. Ha ha, I guess this is one area where I really would be qualified to torture you! Sorry, was that in bad taste?
John Blue: A bit... I guess you might have a point. Trains don't make for very good metaphors. Nothing else is quite like a train.
C17: I don't know about that; this conversation seems to have gone off the rails a while ago. Let's try to stay on topic: Once you had joined IAM, you infiltrated a student society and turned it towards subversive purposes. Correct?
John Blue: Not really. I guess I joined the group for the same reason I joined IAM, but the two things didn't have much to do with each other. Anyway, the others didn't really pay much attention to me. I am not very good with meetings.
C17: Our intelligence indicates that you had a greater influence than you seem to think. It's in your own best interest not to hold anything back. So, after infiltrating the society, you participated in the subversion of the famous journalist Cédric Kinsinger. Correct?
John Blue: I contacted him a few times, but he didn't seem like he had any idea what I was talking about.  I'm not sure that IAM ever...
C17: Don't speculate. Just answer the questions. We're much better qualified to analyze information than you.
John Blue: But you're only asking yes/no questions. Do you just want me to answer "yes" to everything?
C17: No, we'll also need you to sign a statement, but I am happy to hear that you're willing to cooperate.
* Note: Several exclamation marks in a row is usually bad form, but the subject was very agitated, and I think he would have approved. A good transcription consultant should strive to determine what the subjects themselves would have written.
** I only have the tape, but I'm almost certain he made air quotes here. You can hear it in his voice.

Tomcat 6 uses JMX MBeans as the technology for implementing
manageability of Tomcat.
The descriptions of JMX MBeans for Catalina are in the mbeans-descriptor.xml
file in each package.
You will need to add MBean descriptions for your custom components
in order to avoid a "ManagedBean is not found" exception.
