Takeshi Onaga spells out his campaign pledges
Former Naha City Mayor Takeshi Onaga who is currently campaigning for the Prefecture governor's seat made public his campaign pledges at a meeting in a hotel in Naha. The gubernatorial election takes place on Nov. 16th.
Regarding the construction of a new base to replace and return the MCAS Futenma, Onaga stressed his intention to take every possible measure to stop the central government from constructing a new base in Henoko.
Onaga also explained his often-repeated thoughts of closing and clearing of the MCAS Futenma. He thinks that the U.S. military bases on Okinawa are the biggest factor obstructing the economic development of Okinawa, and says that any plans of stimulating Okinawan economy linked to the bases will lead to a disaster.
"It's very wrong to think that MCAS Futenma has to be on Okinawa," Onaga says. He is steadfast in opposing the construction of a new base, and also against the deployment of Osprey aircraft within the prefecture.
Onaga also indicated his opposition to the construction of a helipad in Takae, Higashi Village, and talked about his plan to post a prefectural representative in Washington D.C. in order to solve the base issues once he becomes the Governor.
Onaga expressed his opposition to introducing casino gambling to Okinawa because, he says, "Casino gambling is unfit for circumstances in Okinawa." In addition, he is against TPP, and construction of nuclear power plants on Okinawa.
While talking about Okinawan economy, Onaga indicated that Okinawa could be a hub in southeast Asia for distribution and tourism industries. He pledged to try to promote industry, tourism and to enhance medical welfare. Finally, he spelled out a plan to improve MICE facilities, and to build a railway through the Island.

Q: Smallest angle among two lines in $n \times n$ grid Given an $n \times n$ grid, what is the minimum angle between any two distinct lines, each going through some grid point $p$ and at least one other grid point?
My guess is the minimum is attained by the line through $(0,0), (n,1)$ and the line through $(0,0), (n,0)$ but how can I show that this is the optimal line pair?

A: I think the smallest angle is between lines $(0,0)-(n-1, n)$ and $(0,0) - (n-2,n-1)$.  For these two directional vectors we have
$$
\det \begin{pmatrix}
n-1 & n-2 \\
n & n-1
\end{pmatrix} = 1
$$
and so for the angle $\alpha$ we have
$$
\sin(\alpha) = \frac{1}{||(n-1, n)|| \cdot ||(n-2, n-1)||} < \frac{1}{2(n-1)^2}.
$$
Among all the vectors in the grid, only the following are longer than $(n-2, n-1)$:
$$
(n-3,n), (n, n-3), (n-2, n), (n, n-2), (n-1, n), (n, n-1), (n-1, n-1), (n,n)
$$
The pair given above has the smallest (positive) angle in this set.

A: That is not the optimal pair.
Compare the angle between the lines through $(0,0),(4,1)$ and $(0,0),(4,0)$ [about $14^\circ$] with the angle between the lines through $(0,0),(4,3)$ and $(0,0),(3,2)$ [about $3.2^\circ$].

Lynne Cox
Swimming to Antarctica
Tales of a Long-Distance Swimmer
Now in paperback, with photos and maps added especially for this new edition, here is the acclaimed life story of a woman whose drive and determination inspire everyone she touches.
Lynne Cox started swimming almost as soon as she could walk. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for swimming the English Channel. Her daring eventually led her to the Bering Strait, where she swam five miles in thirty-eight-degree water in just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. In between those accomplishments, she became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack off the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. She even swam a mile in the Antarctic.
Lynne writes the same way she swims, with indefatigable spirit and joy, and shares the beauty of her time in the water with a poet's eye for detail. She has accomplished yet another feat--writing a new classic of sports memoir.
PRAISE FOR SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA
""This would make a great story even if Cox couldn't write. But she can . . . She's done things the rest of us only imagine-and she's written a book that helps us to imagine them with clarity and wonder."" -THE BOSTON GLOBE
""What emerges here is an athlete whose determination is so fierce that it seems almost exotic. She is fit. She is focused. She is Lance Armstrong with body fat.""-USA TODAY
""More than the story of the greatest open-water swimmer, Swimming to Antarctica is a portrait of rare and relentless drive . . . Cox's understated style makes for gripping reading.""

Professor Howard Morris FRS, Jersey resident and founder of MS-RTC, Jersey's high-tech analytical facility for discovery research in the fields of medicine, forensic and environmental sciences, has been awarded the 2014 Royal Medal for his pioneering work in biomolecular mass spectrometry including strategy and instrument design and for outstanding entrepreneurship in biopharmaceutical characterisation.
The Royal Medal, also known as the Queen's Medal, is awarded annually by the Sovereign for the most important contributions in the physical, biological and applied sciences.
Research by Professor Morris, an Emeritus Professor of Biological Chemistry at Imperial College, has improved our understanding of living systems at the molecular level, in health and disease, by using advanced spectrometry to elucidate the structures of newly discovered, biologically active materials. He has worked in the field for almost 50 years. He received his BSc and PhD from the University of Leeds, where he achieved the first mass spectrometric sequencing of protein-derived peptides in the late 1960s. He spent his initial post-doc days at the University of Cambridge Chemical Laboratory, and then at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge.
Professor Morris joined Imperial College in 1975 and subsequently founded the Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry Group. He spent much of his career addressing the limitation of the design of mass spectrometry instruments and by working to improve the design and push the boundaries of instruments so that they could address more effectively the special problems of size, polarity, complexity and sensitivity associated with important biological problems, contributing to a number of developments now used worldwide.
Professor Morris also founded two businesses to apply his mass spectrometry mapping and sequencing strategies to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. He was founder and Chairman of the consultancy and analysis company M-Scan Group, set up in 1980 (now SGS M-Scan), which provides advanced analytical services to the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries worldwide. He also founded Biopharmaspec in 2014 to work on pre-clinical projects, such as characterising a new class of pharmaceutical known as antibody drug conjugates.

Kiick, daughter of ex-NFL star, tackles pro tennis
Allie Kiick, the 18-year-old daughter of former
Miami Dolphins running back Jim Kiick, turned
pro in April. Photo by Paul Bauman
REDDING, Calif. — Watching the television news in her New York hotel room on Aug. 20, Allie Kiick was shocked when her father appeared on the screen.
Jim Kiick was among nearly three dozen members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated team in NFL history, being honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.
"I got on the phone, and I'm like, 'Dad, did you want to tell me you went to the White House?' " Allie, 18, of Plantation, Fla., cracked today after winning her first-round singles and doubles matches in the $25,000 The Ascension Project Women's Challenger. "He was just telling me all about it, and he's like, '(Obama's) a great guy.' (The team members) really enjoyed getting together because they don't usually do that."
The Dolphins went 17-0 in 1972, including three postseason games culminating in a 14-7 victory over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII in Los Angeles. Kiick, the starting running back, scored Miami's decisive touchdown on a one-yard run.
Championship teams routinely are honored at the White House today, but that was not the case then. Also, President Richard Nixon was preoccupied with the Watergate scandal. Finally, the legendary Dolphins team was recognized.
"I know that some people may be asking why we are doing this after all these years," Obama deadpanned at the time. "My answer is simple: I wanted to be the young guy up here for once."
Kiick traveled to New York last month for the U.S. Open. She lost in the first round of singles qualifying to 17-year-old Mayo Hibi, who won the $50,000 Sacramento Challenger in July, and in the opening round of women's doubles in her Grand Slam main-draw debut.
Kiick and Sachia Vickery of Miramar, Fla., had earned a wild card in women's doubles at the U.S. Open by winning the title in the USTA Girls 18 National Championships in San Diego in early August. Vickery defeated Kiick in the singles final in three sets.
Seeded seventh in the Ascension Project Challenger, Kiick ended a five-match losing streak by holding off 17-year-old qualifier Anne-Liz Jeukeng of Boca Raton, Fla., 7-5, 7-6 (1) at Sun Oaks Tennis & Fitness. Kiick came away with mixed feelings, though.
"I got the win, which is always good, but I didn't feel I was playing my best tennis, unfortunately," lamented Kiick, who's ranked No. 297 in the world after turning pro in April. "It's tough getting used to the California conditions. The air is a lot thinner, so the ball will fly a lot. I was really having a hard time finding my strokes today."
Kiick also struggled in the heat, which soared to 105 degrees (40.6 Celsius). Her match mercifully began at 10 a.m., but she said Northern California's dry heat is different than the heat and humidity in Florida.
"When I don't sweat, I don't drink as much as I should, so that throws me off a bit. I kind of miss my humidity," Kiick said with a laugh. "Also the fact that we're playing on hardcourts (rather than clay) adds like another 15 degrees on the court, so it's like a sauna out here."
Kiick will meet Despina Papamichail of Greece on Thursday in the second round. Papamichail, 19, outlasted Jelena Pandzic, 30, of Croatia 7-5, 2-6, 7-5. Pandzic lost to Jamie Hampton, now ranked 25th, in the 2010 final.
Another 17-year-old qualifier, Christina Makarova of San Diego, had more success than Jeukeng. Makarova knocked off eighth-seeded Sanaz Marand 6-3, 6-4. Marand reached the quarterfinals last year and won the doubles title with fellow American Jacqueline Cako, Kiick's partner this year.
Robin Anderson routed Krista Hardebeck 6-1, 6-1 in a matchup of Pacific-12 Conference stars last season. Anderson reached the NCAA doubles as a sophomore at UCLA, and Hardebeck helped Stanford win the NCAA team title.
In doubles, Americans Elizabeth Lumpkin and Emily Harman surprised top-seeded Maria-Fernanda Alves of Brazil and Olivia Rogowska of Australia, 6-3, 6-3. Rogowska, also seeded first in singles, will open against Montserrat Gonzalez, 19, of Paraguay on Wednesday.
Kiick has watched clips of her father, the fifth-leading career rusher in Dolphins history, on YouTube.
"It's very funny to see his little hairdo and everything," Allie said of Jim's bushy hair and beard. "Gosh, I couldn't imagine him being like that. But yeah, I saw him play. I saw him score a touchdown in the Super Bowl or something like that, so it is really neat to see, actually."
Naturally, Allie and her parents are avid NFL fans. Jim and Mary, who are divorced, actually favor the New York Giants because they grew up in New Jersey. Allie, tired of the Dolphins' losing ways, reluctantly converted to the Giants.
"When the Giants play, we are all glued to the TV," Allie said. "I'm not really a Giants fan, but since the Dolphins aren't very good and my parents love the Giants, I kind of go with them."
Allie, 5-foot-7 (1.70 meters) and 135 pounds (61 kilograms), inherited considerable athletic ability not only from her father but her mother, who played professional softball. Allie wanted to compete in an individual sport "where if I win, I get all the credit." She tried swimming but didn't like it. Next was tennis, the 8-year-old was hooked.
Jim taught Allie to throw a football, which she still does because the motion is similar to serving.
Allie also inherited her parents' competitiveness.
"My whole family is (intense), which is a good and a bad thing," Kiick said. "When we play sports together, it usually ends in an argument. Even if it's a card game, we all just want to win. It kind of ruins the purpose of having fun."
"I'm a very competitive person. That's not necessarily a good thing. When I'm out on the court and I miss a few shots, I get mad. I want to be a perfectionist. I just want to beat everybody so badly, and that creates a bad attitude."
Jim Kiick, the macho former pro football player, couldn't handle it when his 11-year-old daughter beat him 8-0 in tennis, so he quit playing. Nor does he attend Allie's matches much anymore because he gets too emotional.
"He would scream at me when I was on the court, and I'd be like, 'Shut up, Dad.' " Allie said. "He'd yell back at me, and we'd have like a conversation arguing back and forth, and my mom would be like, 'Jim, stop!' "
Mary now is married to Curtis Johnson, an ear, nose and throat doctor who financed Allie's tennis exploits until she turned pro.
"He's awesome," Kiick said. "Without him, I probably wouldn't be where I am today."
Kiick verbally committed to the University of Florida, the 2011 and 2012 NCAA champion, but changed her mind after a strong start this year. She qualified for the Sony Open in Miami on the WTA tour in March and reached the semifinals and final of two clay-court Challengers in the southern United States in April.
"The deal with my parents was that if I turn pro, I have to pay for everything myself," Kiick said. "I kind of took a risk, but I'm doing pretty well right now."

All seasons drop in the ratings, and it's still high for modern tv
Yet again another poor episode in what in an awful season. This show seriously needs a rest and great big reset button…and the quicker the better! The last time i witnessed a talking frog on a sunday evening was kermit on The Muppet show, only difference being that it was more entertaining than this…Ribbit.
See ratings dropped to season low not surprised this season been worst for many years stories just plod along I've felt like turning over but stuck with it through loyalty but won't next year
Arthurian2
I've felt like a kid in a class at school, with a teacher who likes the sound of his own voice, just waiting for the bell, throughout this series.
But finally 9 episodes in, Ed Hime's delivers a script that actually involves all the 'friends', (sorry, I just hate that term, it's as if we're dismissing all the Doctors previous companions as nothing more than side kicks, which couldn't be further from the truth, as there has been a far stronger connection between them in all the previous series, and in this one it's been noticeable by it's absence), and a really interesting story. There was some great CGI with the moths and the mirror and some genuine emotion. Ryan, for me, is still very weak, with a one tone voice and I held my breath where there was a moment when I thought he was going to launch into 'my dad left me story' but heaved a sigh of relief when it never transpired. I still don't really care about any of the 'gang' mainly because they've been used as set dressing, with other writers not really knowing what to with them all, and the Doctor still comes over to me as an annoying big sister. I think the frog may have been a step too far, considering how interesting the rest of the story had been and I think it would have been a great opportunity for the Solitract to have been in the form of someone the Doctor had loved, even if we never saw the face, and I'm sure many others thought the same. It's just a shame it didn't occur to the writer Also get rid of Ryan and Graham and replace them with Grace, she's far more convincing than the two of them put together.

The Best Selling Titles of the Year: Detective Comics #1000 and Spawn #300
by Matt Tuck January 4, 2020
written by Matt Tuck January 4, 2020
The year has wrapped up, and Batman and Spawn helped DC and Image beat Marvel for the best-selling comics of 2019.
Based on Diamond Distributor's preorders and units sold throughout the year, DC and Image held on to the top two spots, but Marvel had the last laugh by taking seven of the top 10. Overall, this was a better year for comic sales compared to 2018. For more on that, check out Comichron's breakdown in the link below.
The following data is compiled from the top-500 bestsellers based on the estimated total units sold in 2019. Here I have the top 10 with the estimated sales volume beside the issue number. For the full list, take a look at Comichron's 2019 sales to comic shops.
1. DETECTIVE COMICS #1000 (574,279)
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Batman's 80th anniversary propelled DC #1000 to the top of the list. Last year, Superman got the royal treatment with Action Comics #1000, but it is Batman who racked up the higher sales totals. This is for the standard edition and not the numerous variant covers, which would bump this number even higher.
2. SPAWN #300 (272,985)
In a small victory, Image and DC managed to beat Marvel for the top two spots this year. Spawn's monumental 300th issue got collectors' attention, mirroring the success of Spawn #1 back in 1991. What made this comic so special is that it was the first Image title to reach the milestone of 300 consecutive issues, which is a feat for any publisher.
3. BLACK CAT #1 (260,190)
From the third spot down to the tenth, Marvel's dominance over the sales charts is undeniable. The top-selling Marvel title of 2019 was Black Cat #1, which should remind Sony that fans would be interested in that long-rumored Black Cat/Silver Sable movie. Still, her collectors didn't seem to mind settling for her latest solo title.
4. X-MEN #1 (257,343)
I expected the X-Men to rank higher than they did, but having three of the ten best-sellers of the year is nonetheless an impressive distinction. After the hype surrounding the Jonathan Hickman reboot and the incredible fan and critic reception, it makes sense that X-Men #1 would be the top-selling X-title of the year.
5. DCEASED #1 (249,146)
At least for the top-five best sellers, DC kept pace with Marvel in 2019, taking two of those places. Personally, I loved the horror movie theme for the variant covers of DCeased even if I wasn't captured by the premise.
AND THE REST
Here's the remainder of the top 10 for your reading pleasure. It should be noted that the five other positions all belong to Marvel.
6. ABSOLUTE CARNAGE #1 (241,844)
7. MARVEL COMICS #1000 (222,776)
8. HOUSE OF X #1 (211,730)
9. POWERS OF X #1 (197,709)
10. WAR OF THE REALMS #1 (191,118)
THE PROGNOSIS
It's encouraging news that 2019 was an up year for comic sales. A year ago, many in the comic community were forecasting the doom of comics as we know it, but this is confirmation that people still buy and collect new comics, which will keep the business afloat for a little while longer. Hopefully, 2020 will build on the successes of 2019, and that will be great news for fans.

Just wanted to give you an update. Project Biomodus is planning on going to Big Bad Con on the 14th through to the 16th of October, 2016! Although the game sessions have not been confirmed yet, the idea is that we want to run four games of Project Biomodus for the guests, and get some more feedback as well as give the players some transhuman, gaming fun.
You can look at the Big Bad Con website here and see what it's all about for yourself.

Restraining Orders as Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs)
Not a day goes by when a search engine query doesn't lead someone to this blog because s/he wants to know whether speech on Facebook can be prohibited by the court.
Lawfully…maybe. If someone sends communications TO someone else after the someone else has repeatedly requested that s/he be left alone, this can be labeled "harassment," and a judge can "properly" issue an injunction forbidding further contact.
If, however, a person merely makes remarks ABOUT another person (even a so-called "private figure") or otherwise expresses his or her view on something, that's his or her constitutional right (see the First Amendment). Americans are guaranteed the freedom to criticize one another, as well as their government, and judges have no business poking their noses in…which doesn't mean they won't if invited. A person merely making remarks ABOUT someone can still be sued. Anyone can be, whether on meritorious grounds or frivolous or vexatious ones.
Enter the "SLAPP," or, Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.
Lawsuits whose motive is to silence critical speech by intimidation are SLAPPs. They typically allege that an opinion is "defamatory." There can be no defamation in opinion, but that doesn't matter.
SLAPPs work because being sued is stressful and expensive. Only about half of states have anti-SLAPP laws on their books and their content varies significantly, as well as do targets' means to hire attorneys and prosecute a defense. (For just this reason, a federal "Speak Free Act" has been proposed.)
Making matters worse, how SLAPPs are used, particularly when they take the form of restraining order petitions, is by alleging a constellation of offenses that may be utterly false but can nevertheless be very persuasive.
The writer of this post is the defendant in three such litigations right now. The complainants don't like what I've reported or opined about them. They haven't, though, alleged that I've been unkind in my characterizations; they've claimed they're afraid for their lives, that they've been harassed, that they've been defamed, that they've been stalked, that they've been sexually aggressed against…that kind of thing. The more frenzied of the two women who are prosecuting me—a woman who emailed me four years ago calling herself an "avid reader" of the blog and calling the other woman who's prosecuting me a "sociopath"—today says she's packing a gun. (I've seen this person once in 10 years: I consented to join her for coffee, and afterwards she hugged me.)
You see how it works: You make your allegations lurid to distract from your real motive, which is to shut somebody up who's making you look bad (because you are bad).
Commenters on this blog have reported having restraining orders petitioned against them because the plaintiff owed them money or because they had knowledge of the plaintiff's commission of a criminal act, like drug abuse, tax evasion, or violence, including rape.
In instances like this, restraining orders are SLAPPs. They're meant to make sure the defendant is gagged and subdued.
As SLAPPs is just another way restraining orders are abused.

New Jerseyan Bruce Aristeo, who has chronicled abuses of process against him since 2013, was jailed this week. Again. The last time the state incarcerated him, it was for a period of half a year. A former teacher, he is indigent and has depended on state housing while he defends himself in court (over and over). Now consigned to a cell, all of his expenses must be paid by the taxpayer: his food, clothing, utilities, entertainment, hygiene, medical costs, etc.
This is because a woman named Jody Raines has claimed she's "afraid." Why? Because Bruce, who is as mild-mannered a person as I've ever met, wrote satirically about her online.
Bruce has been SLAPPed. The accusations against him were based on speech ABOUT his accuser. Bruce isn't dangerous; he embarrassed a woman whose image and business connections were more important to her than his life.
Bruce is silenced and unreachable. This is the purpose of a SLAPP.
Bruce will now (presumably) be working on an appeal to reverse a ruling against him that was orchestrated by an unscrupulous woman. The taxpayer paid for the trial, and the taxpayer will pay for Bruce's upkeep while he paces a concrete box. That's the same taxpayer who paid for the courthouse and the jailhouse…and their staffs' salaries.
That taxpayer is you.
This is the "menace to society" whom Camden, N.J., has just determined should be locked in a box:

Rapture, Northbound Leather's fall fetish ball, is happening in Toronto on Saturday, Oct 22. Xtra got a behind-the-scenes look at what's brewing.
The party and extravagant fashion show may be one of the largest fetish events of its kind in the world. The afterparty has a fully equipped dungeon and dozens of play stations.
Raising the wow factor to new heights year after year for 15 years must be difficult, but organizers are betting a live crucifixion will make this year's show one for the record books. The fellow who is getting nailed – to a cross – is coming from the United States to reach his ultimate rapture.

Q: Draw an ordinary plot with the same style as in plt.hist(histtype='step') The method plt.hist() in pyplot has a way to create a 'step-like' plot style when calling
plt.hist(data, histtype='step')

but the 'ordinary' methods that plot raw data without processing (plt.plot(), plt.scatter(), etc.) apparently do not have style options to obtain the same result. My goal is to plot a given set of points using that style, without making histogram of these points.
Is that achievable with standard library methods for plotting a given 2-D set of points?
I also think that there is at least one hack (generating a fake distribution which would have histogram equal to our data) and a 'low-level' solution to draw each segment manually, but none of these ways seems favorable.

A: Maybe you are looking for drawstyle="steps".
import numpy as np; np.random.seed(42)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = np.cumsum(np.random.randn(10))

plt.plot(data, drawstyle="steps")

plt.show()

Note that this is slightly different from histograms, because the lines do not go to zero at the ends.
