Of digital instruments and complexity
Close reading Wikipedia from Pareto to Network Science, part 2
Part 0 – Exploring relations between Pareto and Network Science
Part 1 – Focusing on the power law
This is part 2: Concepts of complex network and preferential attachment
As we mentioned in the part 1 of this work, just defining the concepts we need to understand the field requires an effort. Before we move on to analysis, we will clarify two families of concepts, one centered on the complex network, and the other one on preferential attachment.
As this is a post on my research blog, it tends to expose more than a typical paper would. I follow the open source software mantra "release early, release often".
Scale-free networks and small-world networks have a different origin and characterization, but it turns out that they are quite the same thing and their differences do not seem so important now that we have studied them further. The more general term of complex network seems appropriate to refer to this family of networks.
Preferential attachment has many names but is precisely defined. The term of "Matthew effect" is not a strict equivalent, though. There is an ambiguity about assortativity, which is an equivalent of preferential attachment only in a specific case, despite how some authors refer to the concept.
Scale-free, small world, and complex networks
Those three types of networks are sometimes presented as the same, sometimes not. Fortunately, a simple distinction makes it possible to define a ground where most articles agree:
The characterizations are not the same. Scale-freeness is not small-worldness is not complexity.
In practice, those three networks might be the same kinds of networks.
Note that the question of the differences the three types, beyond their characterization, is still open. Some articles claim that it is not useful to separate them, while others enforce the demarcations. However all articles seem to agree that the relevant features for this family of networks are richer than just scale-freeness and small-worldness. In that sense, these categories are more historical than an accurate typology of networks.
In the side template on network science present on many articles, all three types of networks appear on an equal foot.
On the topic of typologies, the article on social networks has a one worthy of Borges, where criteria of widely different sorts seem equally relevant at defining their own kind of networks. It is organized in different levels of analysis, and scale-free networks and complex networks appear as items in different levels:
• Micro level:
o Dyadic level
o Triadic level
o Actor level
o Subset level
• Meso level:
o Organizations
o Randomly distributed networks
o Scale-free networks
• Macro level:
o Large-scale networks
o Complex networks
This article also details these two types of networks, and though the characterization differs, both acknowledge a certain amount of variability in the definition. We also see that the heavy-tail distribution of node degrees is mentioned as a feature of complex networks, which as we have seen is an other way to name the power-law, and thus poses an unnamed equivalence with the characterization of scale-free networks.
"Scale-free networks: A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, at least asymptotically. […] Specific characteristics of scale-free networks vary with the theories and analytical tools used to create them, however, in general, scale-free networks have some common characteristics. One notable characteristic in a scale-free network is the relative commonness of vertices with a degree that greatly exceeds the average. Another general characteristic of scale-free networks is the clustering coefficient distribution, which decreases as the node degree increases. This distribution also follows a power law. The Barabási model of network evolution shown above is an example of a scale-free network."
"Complex networks: Most larger social networks display features of social complexity, which involves substantial non-trivial features of network topology, with patterns of complex connections between elements that are neither purely regular nor purely random […]. Such complex network features include a heavy tail in the degree distribution, a high clustering coefficient, assortativity or disassortativity among vertices, community structure (see stochastic block model), and hierarchical structure."
Despite their article, social networks are not a specific kind of network but rather an area of application. The three kinds that interest us have each a specific page where the can state their relations to each other.
The small-world network, does not mention the other kinds, but declares a feature of "fat-tailed distribution" which is an equivalent of the power law, and thus an unnamed link to scale-free networks.
"Networks with a greater than expected number of hubs will have a greater fraction of nodes with high degree, and consequently the degree distribution will be enriched at high degree values. This is known colloquially as a fat-tailed distribution."
Small-world network
The scale-free network page starts with the characterization by power-law distribution of node degrees. It also mentions "the small world network model" as a sub-category, and makes several confusing references to the concept of "complex network", like for instance the caption of this image:
From the Scale-free network page
Other example, the mention of "scale-free complex networks" in a paragraph marked as requiring "attention from an expert in Mathematics".
The complex network article states explicitly its relations with the two other kinds: it is generalizing them, arguing that the original demarcations have lost relevance:
"Two well-known and much studied classes of complex networks are scale-free networks and small-world networks, whose discovery and definition are canonical case-studies in the field. Both are characterized by specific structural features—power-law degree distributions for the former and short path lengths and high clustering for the latter. However, as the study of complex networks has continued to grow in importance and popularity, many other aspects of network structure have attracted attention as well."
Complex network
In that spirit, it assumes an explicitly vague definition. It compensates the drawback of not being a mathematical object by declaring itself as an area of research. It then states a form of correspondance with networks defined by their origin rather than their properties, notably "social networks".
"In the context of network theory, a complex network is a graph (network) with non-trivial topological features—features that do not occur in simple networks such as lattices or random graphs but often occur in graphs modelling of real systems. The study of complex networks is a young and active area of scientific research (since 2000) inspired largely by the empirical study of real-world networks such as computer networks, technological networks, brain networks and social networks"
It is interesting to remark that the article on social networks, symmetrically, states an equivalence with complex networks (and as we have seen, with them only).
"Together with other complex networks, it forms part of the nascent field of network science."
Preferential attachment, cumulative advantage, rich get richer, Yule process, assortativity, and the Matthew effect
The primary definition of preferential attachment is probabilistic even if we will often find it associated with scale-free networks (in our corpus at least).
"A preferential attachment process is a stochastic urn process, meaning a process in which discrete units of wealth, usually called "balls", are added in a random or partly random fashion to a set of objects or containers, usually called "urns". A preferential attachment process is an urn process in which additional balls are added continuously to the system and are distributed among the urns as an increasing function of the number of balls the urns already have."
Preferential attachment
The following definition (under the name of "the rich get richer") is similar but more explicit on the implications.
"In statistics, the phrase "the rich get richer" is often used […] where the probability of the next outcome in a series taking on a particular value is proportional to the number of outcomes already having that particular value. This is useful for modeling many real-world processes that are akin to "popularity contests", where the popularity of a particular choice causes new participants to adopt the same choice (which can lead to the outsized influence of the first few participants)."
This time the equivalence between the different notions is pretty explicit, and the article on preferential attachment explains it. Only the Matthew effect is a little special, and as we have seen it is also considered equivalent to the Pareto distribution. Assortativity is also a special case, as we will see, because it is an equivalent of preferential attachment only in certain cases. Anyway the connection with the power law is central and explicit.
""Preferential attachment" is only the most recent of many names that have been given to such processes. They are also referred to under the names "Yule process", "cumulative advantage", "the rich get richer", and, less correctly, the "Matthew effect". They are also related to Gibrat's law. The principal reason for scientific interest in preferential attachment is that it can, under suitable circumstances, generate power law distributions."
Cumulative advantage is another name of preferential attachment, but it seems it is not much employed anymore.
"In a later paper in 1976, Price also proposed a mechanism to explain the occurrence of power laws in citation networks, which he called "cumulative advantage" but which is today more commonly known under the name preferential attachment. […] Barabási and Albert proposed a generative mechanism to explain the appearance of power-law distributions, which they called "preferential attachment" and which is essentially the same as that proposed by Price."
Scale-free network
There is also quite a long explanation about the distinction with the Matthew effect, quoted below for reference.
"Preferential attachment is sometimes referred to as the Matthew effect, but the two are not precisely equivalent. The Matthew effect, first discussed by Robert K. Merton, is named for a passage in the biblical Gospel of Matthew: "For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." (Matthew 25:29, New International Version.) The preferential attachment process does not incorporate the taking away part. This point may be moot, however, since the scientific insight behind the Matthew effect is in any case entirely different. Qualitatively it is intended to describe not a mechanical multiplicative effect like preferential attachment but a specific human behavior in which people are more likely to give credit to the famous than to the little known. The classic example of the Matthew effect is a scientific discovery made simultaneously by two different people, one well known and the other little known. It is claimed that under these circumstances people tend more often to credit the discovery to the well-known scientist. Thus the real-world phenomenon the Matthew effect is intended to describe is quite distinct from (though certainly related to) preferential attachment."
The article on the Matthew effect focuses more on the similitudes than the differences.
"In network science, the Matthew effect is used to describe the preferential attachment of earlier nodes in a network, which explains that these nodes tend to attract more links early on. […] "Because of preferential attachment, a node that acquires more connections than another one will increase its connectivity at a higher rate, and thus an initial difference in the connectivity between two nodes will increase further as the network grows, while the degree of individual nodes will grow proportional with the square root of time." The Matthew Effect therefore explains the growth of some nodes in vast networks such as the Internet."
Matthew effect
Preferential attachment is also mentioned on the statistical side of the studied articles, as for instance in the article on Zipf's law.
"Similarly, preferential attachment (intuitively, "the rich get richer" or "success breeds success") that results in the Yule–Simon distribution has been shown to fit word frequency versus rank in language and population versus city rank better than Zipf's law."
Zipf's law
As a clue on the cultural side of these notions, the article on "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is specifically about the aphorism and not the phenomenon itself, which refers to either "wealth concentration" or "economic inequality".
"This article is about the catchphrase. For the theoretical process, see wealth concentration. […] In statistics, the phrase "the rich get richer" is often used as an informal description of the behavior of Chinese restaurant processes and other preferential attachment processes, where the probability of the next outcome in a series taking on a particular value is proportional to the number of outcomes already having that particular value."
Assortativity and homophily
A misunderstanding must be clarified about assortativity, also called homophily.
Assortativity, or homophily, generally means that in a network the probability that two nodes are connected is higher when those nodes have something in common. This is not specifically related to preferential attachment.
However when the point in common is the degree (number of neighbors) then assortativity/homophily becomes an avatar of preferential attachment. Unfortunately, it seems that some authors employ a synecdoche where that specific case is named by the more generic concept, causing some confusion.
"Assortativity, or assortative mixing is a preference for a network's nodes to attach to others that are similar in some way. Though the specific measure of similarity may vary, network theorists often examine assortativity in terms of a node's degree."
Assortativity
On the use of the term "homophily", we can cite the article on social network analysis: "Homophily (assortativity)".
The article on social networks is not specific but mentions "assortativity or disassortativity among vertices" as a feature of complex networks.
Note that awkwardly, "Assortative mixing" seems to be the same thing as assortativity but each has its own page, and each refers to the other.

Q: vue js component doesn't rerender on the same page I have a component
<template>somecode</template>
<script>
 export default {
        name: 'Card',
        created() {
                axios.get(apiObjUrl)
                      somecode
                })
     }
</script>

this my url:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/#/card/12
But I have a problem:
when I use router-link like this:
<router-link to="/card/155"> card 155</router-link>

my url changes: http://127.0.0.1:8080/#/card/155
but the created() method doesn't get fired.
so I don't make new xhr request to api
and data not changes
what do I do?

A: As an alternative you can setup a  key attribute on your <router-view> like this:
    <router-view :key="$route.fullPath"></router-view>

As <router-view> is a component itself and unique keys force replacement of component instead of reusing it. So you can make use of life cycle hooks.
See the fiddle

A: That's just because your component is already created. You may try using the lifecycle hook updated() instead of created().
 export default {
   name: 'Card',
   updated() {
     axios.get(apiObjUrl)
     somecode
   })
 }

Note: This will only work if your DOM changes. If you just want to listen on url changes and update accordingly you better $watch your route like this.
export default {
  name: 'Card',
  created() {
    axios.get(apiObjUrl)
    somecode
  }),
    watch: {
    '$route': function() {
        // do your stuff here
    }
    }
}

CTI is the first freight forwarder to have been awarded a free-zone license under the commercial operations category in 2007 and five-star warehouse standard certified by the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand since 2010.
Our general warehouse is located in Navanakorn Industrial Zone, Pathumthani. We provide storage and delivery of general cargo in accordance with client's requirements from four warehouse units, covering an area of 10,000 square meters.


WHAT WERE THE ORIGINAL PLANS FOR SPOORZONE?
'We set our targets 12 years ago. Initially, the main focus was on building an underground railway line. Put simply, the project basically entailed breaking open the ground, throwing in some tubes and closing it up again. We were only able to start our work above ground recently. Finally we were able to start implementing the masterplan from 2015, with its new station, dwellings, offices, green areas and water.
COULD YOU TELL US SOME MORE ABOUT HOW THE ORIGINAL PLANS WERE REVISED?
ARE YOU ALSO LOOKING AT HOW TO CONNECT THE AREA TO THE REST OF THE CITY?
DO THE INHABITANTS OF DELFT FEEL INVOLVED IN THIS AREA?
'The inhabitants are feeling increasingly involved, and that's an organic process. You can compare it to dismantling a house. First you strip it and take everything out, at which point it hardly feels like a house anymore. Then you create a shell out of it. And finally you start to make it your own again by choosing wallpaper and laying carpets. That psychological moment literally came about when we started to lay bricks and plant trees. In the autumn, there was non-stop buzz about the area on social media. Until then, people had only seen the drawings of the bricks and the trees. Then they saw it all for real: so that's the kind of brick they used, that's how they laid the bricks and this is what the trees look like. People started actually thinking about it. "Was that the right tree to use?" Psychologically speaking, the area becomes more a part of you. Just like when you lay a carpet and choose a décor for your kitchen. Now we're involving people in the design of the park. I think that we'll see more residents getting involved in the coming year.
'I hope that we can hang on to the positive feeling that exists right now. That could be tricky. It will take five to seven more years before most of this area has been developed. It will be another three or four years before we even start building in some places. It will be interesting to see whether people's patience will wear thin or not. How long will the residents keep it up? Now some places are being completed and they look good. But soon the trucks will be back again with sand and building piles. People may start to wonder whether this will ever end.
LAST QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE LESSONS LEARNED?
'Looking back, we definitely should have split up the development of this area into sub-areas and handled the development and financing of the whole area in phases. But that wasn't possible because we had to come to an agreement with the state in one single deal. That forced us to take an all-or-nothing approach, with all of the major risks that this entailed. We also decided to be pragmatic and put the development of the area into a limited company. That enabled us to tighten the reins and determine the pace of developments. It also allowed us to stay more independent and keep developments at more of an arm's length from political decision-making. It was a good choice, but it certainly had a downside as well. It has made it more difficult for the inhabitants of the city to become co-owners of the area that we're developing. That's something we're going to have to pay close attention to in the coming years. The people of Delft are going to want have more and more of a say in the urban planning, and they will get it too. I see that as a positive development. We're going to literally give the Spoorzone back to the city.
Delft's Spoorzone covers an area 24 hectares large. The clients of this project are the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment and the municipality of Delft. The project management of the railway tunnel and the public transport hub is in the hands of ProRail and the municipality of Delft/Spoorzone Delft Development Company. The Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the municipality of Delft, the province of South Holland, Stadsgewest Haaglanden and the urban region of Rotterdam are all co-financing the project.

How Singaporean Millennials Manage Their Personal Finances
January 7, 2022 0Comments by Greg Kononenko
As the baby boomers retire and the Gen Xers age, it's millennials that now dominate the workforce in many countries, including Singapore. How does this reflect on the millennials' finances? Considering that Singapore is popular for its well-off citizens, it's easy to assume that their young adults are also on top of their financial management game.
In the Singaporean Consumption Basket of 2016, Singaporeans — in general — were found to spend most of their income on "miscellaneous goods, services, and others." Meanwhile, nearly 15% of their income went to housing and utilities, and 14% to travel expenses.
Singaporeans are also big credit card users. But only a few of them are in debt. They are on time with their payments, earning a remark from Jake Gammon of YouGov APAC Omnibus that Singaporeans are no doubt financially responsible.
But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it also affected the way Singaporeans used their money. But was the impact big enough to make them drown in debt?
Personal Debt Among Millennials
According to the Credit Bureau Singapore, credit card borrowing showed no significant variation during the pandemic. However, people in their 20s have been increasing their debts since the second quarter of 2020. The average personal loans and overdraft balances for adults under 30 jumped by 23% in the first quarter of 2021 and over the last three months of 2020.
Gen Zs in their 20s and millennials in their late 20s hit an overdraft balance and average personal loans of $49,689. That's roughly 42% higher than the previous year's average, which was only $34,941.
To keep unsecured debt balances in check, Singapore set borrowing limits in 2015. But the reduced interest rates could've encouraged the young adults to obtain more debt.
Unemployment and lower earnings could be another contributing factor. Experts noted that young adults tried to "borrow their way out of the crisis."
But even the employed appear to be having financial difficulties, too. As such, they take on part-time jobs or food deliveries that don't pay enough either.
Millennials' Finances in 2021
Things have improved for Singaporean millennials in 2021. They were able to manage their debts and adopt better money habits. More young adults and women invested as well. Employees in their 20s used their savings and capital from their parents on securities like cryptocurrencies and foreign stocks.
And unlike their older peers, Singaporean millennials do without professional advice. They choose to rely on their own judgement and research. Of course, this doesn't mean financial advisors in Singapore are no longer necessary. Rather, it just shows that Singaporean millennials are much more independent and willing to take risks.
Debt Management Tactics of Singaporeans
Compared to Americans, Singaporeans are far more disciplined when it comes to their finances. Is their culture and upbringing the cause? It could be a contributing factor, but the country's Traineeship programs might have a bigger influence.
The Singaporean government set up SGUnited, a relief and training program that help young people get hired by small firms. This allowed millennials and Gen Zs have job security, even if they didn't go to college.
In addition, debt consolidation loans in Singapore are easy to obtain. Anyone over the age of 18 can apply. The requirement is just one valid ID, a payslip, and last 12 months of CPF contribution notice or income tax notice. There's no minimum or maximum loan amount required.
Debt consolidation doesn't just work for Singaporeans. Anyone from any other part of the world can benefit from it. It doesn't erase the debts, but transfers them to another lender, whom you have to repay. It reduces the interest you owe as a result.
Singaporeans are also budget-savvy, meaning they plan their expenditure well. They set achievable financial goals instead of simply chasing one end goal. For example, rather than saying "I want to be a billionaire," a budget-savvy Singaporean would say, "I want to buy a 3-bedroom house by the age of 35."
Most Singaporeans want to retire by 30, but by setting achievable financial goals, they realize that wishful thinking isn't the way to settle debts and save more money. So they put their eggs in different baskets, separate their savings from their daily expenses, and spend no more than 50% of their income for their necessities. The budget they allot for their nonessential purchases are just 20% or less of their income.
Based on all of these findings, we can conclude that Singaporean millennials are indeed good at managing their money. They can influence their younger peers, creating a promising financial future for the Gen Zs and the generations after them. We can learn a thing or two from the Singaporeans, and if we apply their principle to our money habits, we may find ourselves free of debt faster than we expected.

Q: How do you force multiple calls to RaiseCanExecuteChanged with different CommandParameters I have a page with two buttons (I really have ten, but for example sake, lets say two), and they are both bound to a RelayCommand and each has a CommandParameter bound to two different columns from the database. Something like this,
<Button  Command="{Binding DataContext.CopyPasteDataValueCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}"
                         CommandParameter="{Binding AccountID}">
<Button  Command="{Binding DataContext.CopyPasteDataValueCommand, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}"
                         CommandParameter="{Binding CustomerID}">

I have the associated RelayCommands setup properly in the code behind, and everything works just fine. Except when I select a different row in my DataGrid and I want to force rebinding and recalling of the RaiseCanExecute of both those buttons.
I would like to make something like this
private void RaiseAllCanExecuteChanged(){
CopyPasteDataValueCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged<string>("AccountID");
CopyPasteDataValueCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged<string>("CustomerID");
}

Of course this won't compile. But I'm wondering how would I do this, or if I indeed, CAN do this. Is this possible or do I really need to have multiple RelayCommands for each occurrence?
Thank you very much.

A: Interesting, for tricks, I tried just firing the
CopyPasteDataValueCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged();

and put a breakpoint in the CanExecute method.....and low and behold!!!! it fired it for each time I wanted it to fire, passing in the CommandParameter! WOW! Super!
So, it looks like there is some type of internal array\list that's tracking the CommandParameters and firing the ONE RaiseCanExcecuteChanged method.....fires ALL the other associated ones for me.  Sweet!

A: Implement an event handler for the SelectionChanged event on your DataGrid.
Within the event handler invoke your viewmodel's logic for the following:
CopyPasteDataValueCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged<string>("AccountID");
CopyPasteDataValueCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged<string>("CustomerID");


Can the Super Bowl go zero waste? If they can, so can you! Minneapolis, location of Super Bowl 52, is an incredible place to go waste-free. We have recycle containers everywhere, and we have weekly home compost pick-up. Hennepin County and Minneapolis are committed to less landfill waste.
I think the NFL is sending an important message, "It is important to reduce our waste!" Yes, one big event is important, and we all need to educate ourselves and try to reduce our own waste. Read about the Super Bowl at zero waste.
Most communities don't make it as easy as Minneapolis, but in tiny steps, we can all do better. Everyday I think about how I can generate less waste, and I know for a zero waste mentality to be successful, it must be EASY!
An easy way to reduce waste is to think REUSE. Before you throw something away, buy something new, or recycle something, ask yourself, "How can I reuse this?" I purchase products in glass jars that I will reuse, and I do reuse them. I believe in real dishes, real silverware, and cloth napkins. My reusable water bottles travel with me, something the NFL doesn't allow at games! I reuse my plastic produce bags over and over, and take my reusable containers to fill with bulk items weekly. Hennepin County has a good list of how to start reusing, read it here. Remember to start easy, and you will get better, as you learn more ways to reduce and reuse.
Cloth napkins are the best!
I would start with cloth napkins as the easiest. As you get into the reuse mindset you will see many things you can do to reuse and reduce on your own. Good Luck!
You don't need plastic bottles!
Get out those real dishes, glasses and silverware for your Super Bowl party and have fun.
Have a GREEN, red, white and blue!
Bee balm for July 4!
Ways to make your 4th of July more Green!
• Recycle! Provide your 4th of July guests with recycling containers or ask your host for one. Print recycling labels for free at http://www.hennepin.us/eventrecycling.
• Use your own dishware instead of disposable paper or plastic plates and silverware. Although you may spend a few extra minutes at the sink, the extra effort goes a long way in reducing waste!
• Grocery shopping for the 4th? Remember to bring your own reusable shopping bag.
• Provide reusable food containers for guests to bring leftovers home, or encourage your guests to bring their own. You'll have less to clean up and avoid food waste!
• Traveling around town for the 4th? Bike or use public transportation instead of driving if possible.
• Buy 4th of July decorations that can be reused every year instead of decorations that can only be used once.

Review – 'We 3 Keys' by The 3 Keys
If the keyboard is your thing, then The 3 Keys should tickle your fancy. Featuring Bob Baldwin, Gail Jhonson & Phil Davis, they give you an eclectic mix of keyboard sounds including Moog synths, pianos, the Fender Rhodes, organ, keyboard bass, and other various synthesizers.
This is a ten track effort, which includes tributes to George Duke and Bernard Wright, and one remake.
They kick it off with That Beat. Nice, funky tempo and a lot going on with the keys.You will just have to sit back and identify all of the piano parts. Be sure to pay attention to the changes within the song.
Sophistication rules with Piano Bar. This may be a track for your "Steppers" playlist, as this will keep the party going.
Into The New is an uptempo track, and those who love the 90's sound will dig the swing beat. We get a little piano, a little synth, and some mini-solos within the track.
In Dreaming About A Better Place, the vibe of the song is really introspective, because as the title states, you may drift off and contemplate a few things. Music is better when it takes you to various places, real and imagined.
Work It Out is a tribute to Bernard Wright. This is a funky jazz track that Bernard would surely approve of. We also like the scratching and the samples, which are subtle, but a necessary element in the track.
In Gimme The Keys, one thing comes to mind. This is a really fun song. When you hear the term, "They are tickling the keys," this track is a true definition of that. Just sit back and enjoy in all 6 and a half minutes of this groovy track.
After a quick interlude, Rhythm Speak is next. We love the energy of the musicians on this track, and the live drums only enhance the feeling. If you need something to get you going, this would definitely be it.
Camaleão is a rework of the Aldir Blanc, Ivan Lins and Vitor Martins composition. This song has had many interpretations over the years, and this one is a nice modern take.
Summerdance is a cool, funky tune. The bass is something you would get in a RnB/Hip Hop track. Crafting a piano track around a groove like this will attract some new fans to the genre.
The set concludes with a tribute to George Duke. The track is called Something Nice, and the "Duke" influences here are evident. George was one of the pioneers of Contemporary Jazz, and the trio pays it forward with Something really Nice.
An album featuring keyboards was an interesting idea, and The 3 Keys pull it off with some great music. You can check it out through your favorite streaming service.

Q: Develop Saliency Map from saliency features I am a novice in image processing and pursuing a project for image segmentation.
As described in the paper: Cluster Based Co-saliency Detection Link to pdf of paper
I have extracted the contrast cues and spatial cues for single image. Yet how do i actually apply these values to the image to get the saliency map ?
I am not able to visualize how these values will get reflected on the pixels to generate the saliency map. If possible, could you please explain it with a simple example.
Link to image that contains the contrast cue formula, spatial cue formula, formula to combine the saliency cues, algorithm to process a single image and sample output along with legend for notations in the formulae.Image

View to a Kill - The Computer Game, A
by Tigress Marketing Ltd (David Bishop, Chris Palmer), Softstone Ltd: Tony Knight, Daryl Bowers, Gary Burfield-Wallis, Grant Harrison, Gary Knight, Argentino Trombin, Nichola Blades, Robert Ritson, Tony Crowther, David Aubrey-Jones
Your Spectrum Issue 17, August 1985 page(s) 32,33,34
I, SPY...
Bond is back - as if you hadn't noticed! And now he's making his software debut in Domark's latest game based on the new film, A View to a Kill. The YS spies, Tony Samuels and Ross Holman have decoded the following message.
There must've been late night meetings - money changing hands - clandestine rendez-vous - and plenty of secrets to be kept. But finally, Domark pulled it off - the computer marketing coup of the year. Bond has gained his license to thrill on the Speccy in the new game of the film. A View to a Kill.
And Domark certainly hasn't skimped on the plot. There are three sizeable chunks of the original celluloid that have been turned into separate but connected games. Plus there's a title sequence based closely on the film's opening and a finale for the few who manage to complete it (or cheat at it! Ed).
Each of the games loads separately but as you complete them you're given a code-word to take onto the next one. The first game is set in Paris and has you motoring round the boulevards in hot pursuit of the villainess, May Day as she parachutes down from the Eiffel Tower. It's certainly the weakest of the three games and any tension there might have been is completely destroyed by the poor programming. The car is pathetic and your control over it is non-existent - you can ignore the bit in the blurb about doing handbrake turns as a joke. The game also has too many bugs to make it playable for long. OK, so you expect Bond to drive into walls occasionally but it'd be nice if he could get out again.
From a poor start, things start to look up. The City Hall game is based very closely on the film and seeing it beforehand helped us rescue Stacy, the new Bond blonde. The programming still looks pretty raw but once you get used to the poor animation, the game content should have you hooked.
The third game's set in a silver mine and it's Bond's task to defuse a bomb that the evil Max Zorin has planted. It's certainly the most inventive and innovative of the three games and has Bond running, jumping, climbing ropes and turning somersaults in his quest to find May Day and stop the explosion. But it's also a minefield when it comes to bugs. Bond can end up encased in solid rock, he lost his feet at one point (literally) and you even take a ride on a hidden lift that'll take you on a journey to the centre of the program! All this isn't to say it's unplayable. On the contrary, it's very addictive - if only the programming had been tidied up beforehand.
For all that they're based on the Bond film, these three games are very different from it. OK, who's the wise guy who said that's obvious? No, the Bond films are all about style and special effects, Just the things that these three games lack. Still, they've got plenty of content and with three games on one tape you can't really complain about not getting your money's worth.
Overall: Not Rated
