### Individual:

**Mónica Ballesteros**

Investigué MC y la aplicación de transformaciones Householder (QR) para resolverlo. Programé el vector de Householder con los insumos obtenidos de mu y sigma basado en las notas del Golub.

**Ariana López**

Investigué MC y la aplicación de transformaciones Householder (QR) para resolverlo. Programé la matriz de reflexión H que se va actualizando para obtener la nueva A.

**Fabiola Cerón**

Investigué MC y la aplicación de transformaciones Householder (QR) para resolverlo. Construí la parte del código para obtener mu y sigma.

### Equipo:

* Continuando con el plan de trabajo, realizamos la lectura del Capítulo 5 de [Eldén](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMtevFKwTW_aDE2Tjg1Zk1FbTQ/view?usp=sharing) y 5.3  [Golub, Van Loan](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5IJ1w6MjxegWGg4V1pDbFhaSzQ/view?usp=sharing) para comprender la aplicación de QR a la solución de mínimos cuadrados. La lógica de este proceso es entender que como en general Ax ≠ b para los sistemas sobredeterminados definimos un vector residuo r = b – Ax, en lugar de encontrar una solución exacta para Ax = b intentamos encontrar una x tal que r sea lo mas pequeño posible (equivalente a resolver min ||Ax-b||2). Se pueden construir transformaciones de Householder que reduzcan la matriz Amxm, con el algoritmo de QR, A=Q1R, resolviendo x=R-1Q1Tb de la forma Rx = Q1Tb.

* Con respecto al código de factorización QR por Householder logramos desarrollar el código secuencial en C basado en la teoría encontrada en el libro de Golub y las notas de clase. Intregramos en un solo algoritmo las funciones que habíamos identificado en el avance anterior (como producto punto, normalización, cálculo de beta, etc.).  Lo probamos con una matriz de 4x3 que calculamos a mano en la primera entrega de este proyecto, corroboramos los resultados siendo diferentes en el resultado final de A. Estamos llevando a cabo los ajustes necesarios para obtener el resultado correcto en cada sobreescritura de A.

Lineage Diversification of Lizards (Phrynosomatidae) in Southwestern North America: Integrating Genomics and Geology
/islandora/object/sdsu%3A1941/datastream/OBJ/view
In the first chapter of my dissertation, I provide an ultimate tectonic hypothesis for several well-studied zoogeographic boundaries along the west coast of North America, specifically along the San Andreas Fault system. Reviewing the literature, I demonstrate that four Great Pacific Fracture Zones correspond with spatially concordant phylogeographic breaks for a variety of marine and terrestrial animals. I hypothesize that the four zoogeographic boundaries reviewed here ultimately originated via the same tectonic process (triple junction evolution along the San Andreas Fault system), and I suggest how a comparative phylogeographic approach can be used to test this hypothesis. In the second chapter, I investigate the systematics and species delimitation of fringe-toed lizards of the Uma notata complex in the deserts of southwestern North America. Ten nuclear loci were Sanger sequenced and genome-wide sequence and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data were collected using restriction-associated DNA (RAD) sequencing. I validated five species-level lineages within the U. notata complex, three of which were previously described as full species, one originally described as a subspecies but later synonymized, and one previously documented yet undescribed species from Mohawk Dunes, Arizona, USA. The results support the hypothesis that Pleistocene glacial cycles promoted allopatric speciation via dispersal across a landscape matrix shaped by older tectonic events, but I also recovered evidence for a vicariant role of the Colorado River during the Pleistocene epoch. In the third chapter, I studied the comparative phylogeography of lizards (Phrynosomatidae) of the Baja California Peninsula, including the genera Callisaurus, Petrosaurus, Urosaurus, and Sceloporus. I collected sequence/SNP data from 228 individual lizards from the peninsula and eight islands using RADseq. The estimated divergence dates across co-distributed clades revealed that for each of the five regions where comparisons are possible, at least two or three episodes of divergence are required to explain the observed patterns. I tested for range expansions or bottlenecks associated with Pleistocene glacial cycles or continent-to-peninsula invasions. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that plate tectonic events established a complex landscape matrix with numerous barriers to dispersal that ultimately facilitated divergence, generating the idiosyncratic patterns observed among co-distributed lineages.

If you didn't already know, Topp Dogg's Kidoh is a very talented composer/lyricist/overall music maker.
He helped compose and write lyrics to many of Topp Dogg's tracks, including Dogg's Out, Say It, Girl Like You, and Play Ground.
Now Kidoh's back with a brand new track called "From a Trainee to an Artist" and just like the title sounds, he describes his journey from starting from nothing to getting to where he is today.
Now I will admit, I didn't expect much when I hit the "play" button, but as soon as the song began, I was enchanted. And I was more and more impressed by the song with each second.
Not only is Kidoh a great composer/lyricist, he's also an impressive rapper and vocalist, showing that he's an all-rounder.
Who knows, we might be looking at a future G-Dragon here.
Also, for Bangtan Boys' fans, Kidoh mentions the group in his lyrics. Well, he mentions how he was auditioning to be in Bangtan Boys, but eventually left in 2012 and joined Topp Dogg.
Can you imagine if Kidoh joined BTS? They would have been a force to be reckoned with.
Kidoh has proven that he's the heart and soul of Topp Dogg, with his many, many talents.
I wonder how well the other members make music. I would love to see their talents as well.
Check out Topp Dogg's Kidoh's track "From a Trainee to an Artist" below. You can download the song for free here!

Repair and revive outdoor gear and equipment, at home or in the field.
Even with the best care, a tent floor is susceptible to damage after countless trips in the wilderness. The Footprint can extend the life your shelter floor from abrasions, rocks, and sticks.
The Losi Garage increase dry gear storage and vestibule space of the Losi series of shelters.
The Sierra Designs 50" Accessory Poles work with the Tensegrity and High Route shelters.
Sierra Designs footprints protect tents from dirt, gravel and sharp objects and can extend the life of the shelter.
Titanium tent stakes are generally smaller diameter than comparable aluminum stakes and are therefore easier to probe into the ground without bending.


Looking closely, the physical objects and setting of both the BI Lab or the soap carving classroom is just a part of the "Learning Richness" components. Besides having the objects in the classroom communicate messages and knowledge to the students, which allowed self-directed learning to occur effectively, this paper will probe more deeply into the learning that was embedded in the "human interactions" in this environment.
"Community of practice": create expert agencies. Besides "making" concrete objects as a meaningful personal learning and expression, many studies in the field of Constructionism also emphasize the analysis of the "social and cultural context" ((Cavallo, 2000), (Sipitakiat, 2000)) underneath the Learning Atmosphere (Blikstein, 2002).
The learning interactions in FabLab are very dynamic and have their own pace and timing. Multiple levels of conversations occurred in the class, as well as different interpretations of messages. The notion of micro levels of complexity in this "making" environment resonates with the model of "apprentice's learning" (Lave and Wenger, 1991). The students moved freely and talked to peer students and tried to solve problems together although they were unclear about each one's status of expertise. The multi-directional messages from expert to novice, from novice to old timer, and the dialogue between novices and more experienced students, or "little old timers" can be powerful learning resources as well as creating a chaotic environment.
Figure 1. Maker Scout Progress Board and A Maker Scout in the Maker's Club.
Ms. Angi Chau, the BI Lab Consultant, has made an effort to build a program that helps disseminate the "correct practice" to the student agents. The Maker's Scout Program intentionally built up the effective learning agents in the classroom for the longer term. As an expert, Ms. Chau has modeled sharing and giving advice to two other teachers who are "little old timers" (Lave and Wenger, 1991) compared to some novice students. Some old timer students were trained by experts and played the role of experts and shared the practice with the new- comers as requested.
As Lave and Wenger (1991) said, "the effectiveness of the circulation of information among peers" is the "condition for the effectiveness of learning". Dissemination of the practice is one of the key success factors of this learning environment. A good learning environment does not just happen because of a perfect physical setting. It requires the understanding of the new learning interactions between people in the environment and so it must be designed in such a way that the messages will be conveyed throughout the classroom effectively and correctly.

In 2019, agencies including TBWA Sydney, LIDA, Ogilvy, Thinkerbell, Host/Havas, Special Group, BCM and DDB, as well as industry collective Youngbloods and artist Mulga were given briefs that challenged their teams, but ultimately showed the abundance of talent in the thriving creative industry.
For the final edition of the year, DDB Sydney was tasked with creating a cover to reflect the issue's investigation into the biggest question on everyone's lips: Where's the money?
The team gathered all arms and legs of the industry for a "last supper" style dinner turned battle to get their share of the pie. Everyone from Mike Rebelo and Brent Smart to Tara Ford, David Nobay and Mike Connaghan came together to help deliver a cover to front our biggest edition of the year. Even Sir Martin Sorrell makes an appearance.
DDB Australia chief creative officer Ben Welsh thanked all those that were involved.
"A big thank you to everyone who made this epic cover possible from the team at DDB Sydney to the cast and our brilliant production partners. It's great to be able to celebrate what makes our industry special – fierce competitors, but still friends," Welsh says.

P.S I've already read msdn help on this.

A: IOCTL_DISK_GET_MEDIA_TYPES appears to be legacy and no longer supported. At least that's the case on my OS (Win7 x64). Attempting to call DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_DISK_GET_MEDIA_TYPES results in error code 1, ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION.
I believe that you will need to use IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX instead.
My advice in this situation is to attempt to call the API functions from C++ first. That way you don't have to struggle with p/invoke and you know that all the structures and function prototypes are correct. Once you have worked out how to call the particular API function then translate into p/invoke.
As an aside, you should be a little more careful about your p/invokes. Take care to use uint to match DWORD, and make sure you use SetLastError=true so that you can query the error code with Marshal.GetLastWin32Error().
Something like this:
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
public static extern IntPtr CreateFile(
    string lpFileName, uint dwDesiredAccess, uint dwShareMode,
    IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, uint dwCreationDisposition,
    uint dwFlagsAndAttributes, IntPtr hTemplateFile);

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError=true)]
internal static extern bool DeviceIoControl(
    IntPtr hDevice, uint dwIoControlCode, IntPtr lpInBuffer,
    uint nInBufferSize, IntPtr lpOutBuffer, uint nOutBufferSize,
    ref uint lpBytesReturned, IntPtr lpOverlapped);

KRISTIAN LIN
City Island (PG-13) Andy Garcia stars in this comedy as the head of a Bronx family that's riddled with secrets. Also with Julianna Margulies, Steven Strait, Alan Arkin, Dominik García-Lorido, Ezra Miller, and Emily Mortimer. (Opens Friday)
Furry Vengeance (PG) Family comedy depicting a battle between land developer Dan Sanders (Brendan Fraser) and the animals protecting their forest. Surprisingly, it's not as bad as it sounds. The animals don't talk or make pop-culture references, and the entire cast is game, with Fraser and Ken Jeong trying their damndest. Still, this is a movie mainly about wacky CGI animal hijinks and cheap pratfalls that wears out its welcome halfway through. Young children and the spectacularly stoned will be entertained, but that's about it. Have the family watch squirrels play outside for free instead. Also with Brooke Shields. –– Cole Williams
A Nightmare on Elm Street (R) Jackie Earle Haley stars in this reboot of the series about a dream killer who strikes victims in their sleep. Also with Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker, Kellan Lutz, Clancy Brown, and Connie Britton. (Opens Friday)
Paper Man (R) Jeff Daniels stars in this drama by Kieran and Michele Mulroney as a creatively stunted novelist who befriends a teenage babysitter (Emma Stone) on Long Island. Also with Ryan Reynolds, Lisa Kudrow, Hunter Parrish, Arabella Field, and Kieran Culkin. (Opens Friday in Dallas)
Shinjuku Incident (R) Jackie Chan stars in this drama as an illegal Chinese immigrant who rises to the rank of crime boss in Japan. Also with Naoto Takenaka, Daniel Wu, Xu Jinglei, Masaya Katô, Tôru Minegishi, Jack Kao, Kenya Sawada, Fan Bingbing, and Suet Lam. (Opens Friday in Dallas)
A Town Called Panic (NR) Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar's animated French-language film about a toy cowboy and Indian (voiced by Aubier and Bruce Ellison) who journey to the center of the world and find a parallel universe of deceitful undersea creatures. Additional voices by Jeanne Balibar, Vincent Patar, Benoît Poelvoorde, Nicolas Buysse, Véronique Dumont, and Christelle Mahy. (Opens Friday in Dallas)
Alice in Wonderland (PG) The latest film version of this story to freely expand on Lewis Carroll's adventures, Tim Burton's bizarre, unfocused adaptation stars Mia Wasikowska as a 19-year-old Alice who goes back down the rabbit hole to free Wonderland from the rule of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). Burton's at his best with material that engages his macabre sense of humor, and this doesn't fit that description. The film boasts some awe-inspiring effects and some inspired moments, but overall it's missing the small-scale whimsical absurdity that made Carroll's book into a classic. Also with Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, and Anne Hathaway. Voices by Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Paul Whitehouse, Matt Lucas, Imelda Staunton, Michael Gough, and Christopher Lee.
The Bounty Hunter (PG-13) This dreary, demoralizing action-comedy stars Gerard Butler as an ex-cop-turned-bounty hunter who's called on to arrest his reporter ex-wife (Jennifer Aniston) after she jumps bail because she's found dirt on crooked cops. The two leads may or may not be a real-life couple, but they have zero chemistry with each other regardless. The action and the comedy are both toothless, and the movie seriously bogs down during an interlude when the two hide out at the bed-and-breakfast where they spent their honeymoon. Terrible stuff. Also with Jeff Garlin, Jason Sudeikis, Matt Malloy, Dorian Missick, Carol Kane, Cathy Moriarty, and Christine Baranski.
Clash of the Titans (PG-13) Demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington) goes on a quest to avenge himself against Hades (Ralph Fiennes) for the death of his family in this rote remake of the Ray Harryhausen effects filled 1981 epic. Updated effects can't enliven the story, with Worthington slaying any investment in Perseus with his signature blandness and action scenes that are only passable, save for a good giant scorpion battle. Too bad, because Neeson and Fiennes are great as Zeus and Hades, and the look of the film, especially Olympus, is impressive. You're best off watching the original and playing God of War. Also with Jason Flemyng, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Izabella Miko, Ashraf Barhom, Alexander Siddig, Nicholas Hoult, Polly Walker, Elizabeth McGovern, Jane March, Danny Huston, and Pete Postlethwaite. — Cole Williams
Date Night (PG-13) Steve Carell and Tina Fey are believable as a married couple, but as a comedy team, they only deliver in fits and starts as a couple who are hunted down by gun-toting mobsters when they try to shake up their routine by going to a fancy Manhattan restaurant. The stars provide enough stray wisecracks to keep this thing watchable, but the only time the movie sustains the laughs is during a predictable but effective pole dancing bit. Elsewhere, the momentum sputters, and director Shawn Levy never establishes the right tone as the material veers between marital comedy and action. The leads are charming, but between their talents and those of a high-powered supporting cast, this movie should have come to more. Also with Mark Wahlberg, Taraji P. Henson, Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, James Franco, Mila Kunis, William Fichtner, Leighton Meester, and an uncredited Ray Liotta.
Death at a Funeral (R) Marginally less annoying than the 2007 British farce on which it's based, Neil LaBute's comedy stars Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence as brothers who are preparing for their father's funeral when the father's secret gay lover (Peter Dinklage) blackmails them with sex photos. The movie works somewhat better because the leads are understated and the gay subplot has a charge in this African-American setting that it didn't have in the original. There's too much dead weight in this large supporting cast, though, and too many of the jokes and situations are easy to see coming even if you haven't seen the original. Also with Zoë Saldana, Tracy Morgan, Luke Wilson, James Marsden, Regina Hall, Loretta Devine, Ron Glass, Columbus Short, Kevin Hart, Keith David, and Danny Glover.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid (PG) The first book in Jeff Kinney's best-selling series for kids turns into this clunky movie about an 11-year-old boy (Zachary Gordon) who schemes to become popular in middle school but sees his ventures backfire while his best friend (Robert Capron) becomes cool. All that's fine as far as it goes, and some of the set pieces are actually funny. Mostly, director Thor Freudenthal makes hash out of the episodic structure, and Gordon doesn't have the charm to make the status-obsessed hero into a likable kid. Like its hero, this movie wishes it were cooler than it is. Also with Steve Zahn, Rachael Harris, Devon Bostick, Karan Brar, Grayson Russell, and Chloë Grace Moretz.
Green Zone (R) This would have been a Movie of the Year candidate in 2005, but now it's just a slightly-above-average thriller starring Matt Damon as a U.S. Army officer in the early days of the Iraq invasion who teams up with an Iraqi informant (Khalid Abdallah) to track down who's responsible for the bad intelligence that led to the war. Director Doug Liman (the first two Bourne films) does all this up professionally, but his critique of the war rehashes old talking points, and he never finds anything new in the chaos. The film is based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran's book Imperial Life in the Emerald City, which paints the arrogance of American planners in much starker and funnier terms. Also with Brendan Gleeson, Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Yigal Naor, and Jason Isaacs.
Hot Tub Time Machine (R) With a title like this, the movie's either going to be brilliantly dumb or just dumb. This movie is both, but the ratio runs about 60-40 in favor of "just dumb." John Cusack, Rob Corddry, and Craig Robinson play three friends who are transported by a ski-resort Jacuzzi back to 1986 as their teenage selves, along with a 23-year-old nephew (Clark Duke) who stays 23 in the '80s but is in danger of ceasing to exist. Although some of the gags score in a major way, the dopey premise needed an even wilder, more over-the-top treatment to live up to its title. Neither director Steve Pink nor his actors are quite able to take the plunge. Also with Lizzy Caplan, Sebastian Stan, Lyndsy Fonseca, Collette Wolfe, Jessica Paré, William Zabka, Crispin Glover, Chevy Chase, and an uncredited Thomas Lennon.
How to Train Your Dragon (PG) Cressida Cowell's series of whimsical and occasionally gross kids' books becomes this animated film that's more grown-up and less interesting than its source. The movie is about a Viking kid (voiced by Jay Baruchel) who has to prevent his clan from going to war with the dragons that raid their village, after discovering that the animals are basically large, scaly, fire-breathing housecats. The movie's an allegory about the Iraq war, which is okay as far as it goes, but it turns the dragons into passive beings that are too easily domesticated. America Ferrera is counterintuitively well-cast as a badass Nordic girl, but the characters are thin and the comic material wastes a talented supporting vocal cast. Spectacular as this movie frequently looks, it still falls short. Additional voices by Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Jonah Hill.
The Joneses (R) This movie starts out well enough, with David Duchovny, Demi Moore, Amber Heard, and Ben Hollingsworth starring as stealth marketers posing as a family of four and moving into an upscale neighborhood to get their neighbors to buy their stuff. The film looks great, and there's a sweet comic tension between Moore (as the ambitious, earnest, controlling boss of the unit) and Duchovny (as the newest member of the sales team who jokes about the absurdity of what they're doing). However, first-time filmmaker Derrick Borte screws up by trying to make the Joneses into human beings. The moralizing in the script's latter half lands with a thud, and the satire dies. Also with Gary Cole, Glenne Headly, and Lauren Hutton.
Kick-Ass (R) This psychotic, subversive satire on comic books stars Aaron Johnson as a teen who tries to fight crime as a masked vigilante without the benefit of superpowers. This is a breakthrough performance from director Matthew Vaughn, who balances the comic possibilities of the setup with the harsh real-world logic applied to superheroes by Mark Millar's comic-book series. The movie acknowledges both the dangerous consequences of superhero fiction and the psychic need that they fill. It also has an intoxicating mix of hard-core action and genre-warping humor, and its gleeful, anarchic spirit is personified by Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz), the 11-year-old goblin child who mows down mobsters. Pretty awesome, all in all. Also with Nicolas Cage, Mark Strong, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Lyndsy Fonseca, Clark Duke, Evan Peters, Omari Hardwick, and Michael Rispoli.
The Last Song (PG-13) Miley Cyrus makes a brave attempt at playing an alienated, sarcastic teen who'd probably have an allergic reaction to Hannah Montana. It doesn't work, but it's brave. She plays a piano prodigy-turned-adolescent troublemaker who's packed off to live with her estranged dad (Greg Kinnear, doing the best he can) for the summer. Cyrus has the character's slouchy walk down, but her line readings are flat and she has no chemistry with the lead actor (Liam Hemsworth) despite the two of them being a couple in real life. It's okay, though. Based on a Nicholas Sparks novel, this sodden drama is beyond the power of any actor to save. Also with Kelly Preston, Bobby Coleman, Carly Chaikin, Adam Barnett, Kate Vernon, and Nick Searcy.
Letters to God (PG) The real-life story of a cancer-stricken 8-year-old boy who touched others by writing letters to God turns into this unwatchably sludgy weeper starring Tanner Maguire. Producer-turned-director David Nixon never finds the right rhythm for the narrative, and scene after scene ends with the boy's simple courage bringing his mother (Robyn Lively), his brother (Michael Christopher Bolten), or the alcoholic mailman delivering the letters (Jeffrey Johnson) to tears and embracing Jesus Christ. This movie has nothing to say to anyone except the already converted. Also with Maree Cheatham, Dennis Neal, Bailee Madison, and Ralph Waite.
Oceans (G) Disney's foray into the water world of morays, stonefish, and elephant seals is a gorgeous though soporific sea life sampler. Moments of majesty (the blanket octopus! ribbon eels!) quickly give way to the same old dolphins, sharks, and clownfish you've seen before. Pierce Brosnan intones the usual message of the oceans' universal importance with the gentle gravitas reserved for reading Horton Hears a Who, and the narrative never focuses on any subject long enough to satisfy. While sea turtles struggle to preserve their species, audiences will struggle to stay awake. –– Steve Steward
Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (PG) Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter movies, brings the same leaden, derivative touch to this adaptation of Rick Riordan's best-selling fantasy-adventure novel. Logan Lerman plays a teenager who discovers that he's the son of a Greek god and must use his superpowers to forestall a war among the gods that would destroy the Earth. The movie remains resolutely unmagical despite the liberal use of CGI effects. In a star-studded supporting cast, the only actor who makes any impact is Steve Coogan, playing Hades like a burned-out heavy metal rocker. The lame, uninventive script reduces this would-be epic to an overstuffed mess. Also with Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd, Jake Abel, Rosario Dawson, Melina Kanakaredes, Joe Pantoliano, and Catherine Keener.
The Perfect Game (PG) Tinny inspirational film stars Clifton Collins Jr. as the manager of the 1957 Mexican Little League baseball team that became the first non-Americans to win the Little League World Series. Stilted comedy bits give way to stilted bits about racial tolerance, while Collins overacts and the kids are as wooden as their bats. You'll have more fun at a rain-delayed ball game. Also with Cheech Marin, Moises Arias, Jake T. Austin, Gabriel Morales, Ryan Ochoa, Jansen Panettiere, David Koechner, Frances Fisher, Bruce McGill, Emilie de Ravin, and Louis Gossett Jr.
The Runaways (R) Kristen Stewart plays a teenage Joan Jett as a tough-talking mostly gay trailer-park girl, and her sexually charged performance makes this uneven music bio compulsively watchable. Floria Sigismondi's film tells the story of the short-lived trail-blazing 1970s all-girl rock group, based on the memoir of Runaways' lead singer Cherie Currie. The scenes with Cherie (Dakota Fanning) trying to overcome her drug addictions don't pull their weight. However, Sigismondi does a nice job with the grungy atmosphere and creates real electricity when the Runaways are on stage. The actors do their own singing and are a smidge better than the real-life Runaways. Watch for Michael Shannon's wildly entertaining performance as music producer Kim Fowley. Also with Stella Maeve, Scout Taylor-Compton, Alia Shawkat, Johnny Lewis, and Tatum O'Neal.
Shutter Island (R) Martin Scorsese turns Dennis Lehane's novel into this surprisingly generic Gothic potboiler. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo star as U.S. marshals sent to investigate the disappearance of an inmate from an asylum for the criminally insane. The director's shock tactics don't work any more in our time, and one gets the feeling that the movie would have been better if Scorsese had done either less or more with the material. On the other hand, the plot twists go down smoothly, and the supporting actors (especially Michelle Williams, Ted Levine, Emily Mortimer, and Patricia Clarkson) do some terrific work as the various crazy people populating the scenery. Disposable rather than shattering, this is still a fair puzzle of a movie. Also with Ben Kingsley, Jackie Earle Haley, John Carroll Lynch, Elias Koteas, and Max von Sydow.
Why Did I Get Married Too? (PG-13) Funny if overly long and melodramatic flick. This sequel to his 2007 original finds the four couples having their annual reunion in the Bahamas, as secrets and problems threaten to tear each of them apart. The cast is uniformly good, though Michael Jai White gets the funniest moments, and laughs abound. However the writing is often too obvious, and the tonal changes too swift and poorly handled. Still, if you're a big Perry fan odds are you'll enjoy it too. Also with Janet Jackson, Sharon Leal, Malik Yoba, Richard T. Jones, Jill Scott, Louis Gossett Jr., Tyson Gilmore, Nia Iman Muhammad, and Cicely Tyson. — Cole Williams

In a significant step to end statelessness on its territory, Turkmenistan has granted citizenship to 2,580 people, following issuance of a Presidential Decree on the subject this month.
Sixty per cent of those intended to benefit from the Decree are stateless women, representing 19 ethnic backgrounds.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, warmly welcomes this measure, the latest in a series of steps taken by the Central Asian state to address statelessness.
Over the last 15 years, Turkmenistan has granted citizenship to 26,000 refugees and stateless people. These include some 13,000 stateless people who have been naturalized since the country acceded to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons in 2011.
In July this year, a new Law on Civil Status Acts helped to prevent childhood statelessness by ensuring that all children born in the country – including those with undocumented parents – have their births registered. The new law and the resolution of existing cases of statelessness follow on commitments Turkmenistan made at a high-level event on statelessness UNHCR convened in 2019.
In the framework of the global #IBelong Campaign to eradicate statelessness by 2024, UNHCR has been working closely with the Government of Turkmenistan on statelessness prevention and resolution efforts.
"Turkmenistan has once again shown its strong leadership when it comes to eradicating statelessness, ending a plight of invisibility for thousands of people. We are confident that it will follow through to resolve statelessness and integrate each and every stateless person on its territory in the coming years, hopefully by 2024," said Mr. Hans Friedrich Schodder, UNHCR Representative for Central Asia.
Statelessness affects millions of people around the world, often denying them access to basic rights that citizens take for granted. Some 4.2 million stateless people appear in the statistical reporting of 79 countries, but UNHCR estimates the actual extent of statelessness to be much higher.

Dec 12 Just returned from holidays. What a fantastic website, congratulations to all the people that worked on putting it together. It will be a very useful tool for helping us to grow as a leader in the transportation industry Al McLachlan.
For the latest company news and insider information, check out our recent updates.
Here's another driver submission for us to share. This snapshot comes to us from none other than Owner Operator Krys Robertson. We love how that rig shines, Krys, keep it up!


Former President George W. Bush's Presidential Library was officially dedicated today with all living Presidents in attendance, and the first time a Presidential Library has been dedicated with the Presidential parents also in attendance. The full transcript is below and I'm taking the liberty to offer a comment on his closing remarks.
We do not have a monarchy, but we no longer have a Republic either. We are assaulted by unelected bureaucrats, not in the Founder's plan for America, taking away our freedom, not one-by-one but by the multiples. No country has kept the kind of Republic we have been so blessed with, but I will keep my prayers winging that President Bush is spot-on with his optimism and maybe there are those somewhere who can wiggle into a postion to fix this abhorrent mess we are in by appealing to the Almighty God that we need His help and will be honorable and unwavering in the task.
"Oh happy days. I want to thank you all for coming. Laura and are I thrilled to have so many friends, I mean a lot of friends here to celebrate this special day.
There was a time in my life when I wasn't likely to be found at a library, much less found one. [laughter] Beautiful building has my name above the door but it belongs to you.
Hillary and Roslyn, thank you for your service and your generosity. Mother and Laura, you know how I feel. Condi introduced the world leaders with whom I had the privilege to serve.
I want to thank David Fariol (sp?), Alan Lowe (sp?) and the professionals at the National Archives and Records Administration who have taken on a major task and I am confident you all will handle it.
I appreciate the architects, landscapers and designers especially Bob Stern, Michael Vanvakenberg and Dan Murphy. I want to thank the folks of Manhattan Construction as well as all the workers who built a fine facility that will stand the test of time.
This is the first time in American history that parents have seen their son's Presidential library. Mother, I promise to keep my area clean. [laughter] You know, Barbara Bush taught me to live life to the fullest, to laugh a lot and to speak my mind.
I welcome my dear brothers and sister as well as in-laws, cousins, nieces, uncles, all of you for joining us. For family has meant more to me than anything and I thank you for making it so.
Laura's going to be even better at her next role, grandmother. It was a joy, I can't tell you what a joy it was to hold little Mila. And I am really happy that Mila's mother and father, Jenna and Henry, could make it here today. Thank you all for coming. [applause] So if you don't have to do in the morning, tune in to the Today Show, Jenna is a correspondent.
Today marks a major milestone in a journey that began 20 years ago. When I announced my campaign for Governor of Texas. Some of you were there that day. I mean a lot of you were there that day. I picture you a little younger. You probably pictured me with a little less gray hair. In politics, you learn who your real friends are. And our friends have stood with us every step of the way. And today's the day to give you a proper thanks.
I believe that freedom is a gift from God and the hope of every human heart. Freedom inspired our founders and preserved our union through civil war and secured the promise of civil rights. Freedom sustains dissonance bound by chains. Believers huddled in underground churches. And voters who risked their lives to cast their ballots. Freedom unleashed creativity, rewards innovation and replaces poverty with prosperity. And ultimately freedom lights the path to peace. Freedom brings responsibility.
Independence from the State does not mean isolation from each other. A free society thrives when neighbors help neighbors. And the strong protect the weak. And public policies promote private compassion. As President, I tried to act on these principles everyday. It wasn't always easy and it certainly wasn't always popular.
The same principles defined the mission of the Presidential Center. I'm retired from politics, happily so, I might add. But not from public service. We'll use our influence to help more children start more life with a quality education. To help more Americans find jobs in economic opportunities. To help more countries overcome poverty and disease. To help people from every part of the world live in freedom.
We'll work to empower women around the world to transform their country. Stand behind the courageous men and women who have stepped forward to wear the uniform of the United States to defend our flag and our freedom here at home. Ultimately, the success of the nation depends on the character of its citizens.
Mr. President, I had the privilege to see that character up close. I saw it in the first responders who charged up the stairs into the flames to save people's lives from burning towers. I saw it in the Virginia Tech professor who barricaded his classroom door with his body until his students escaped to safety. I saw it in the people in New Orleans who made homemade boats to rescue their neighbors from the floods. I saw it in the service members who laid down their lives to keep their country safe and to make other nations free.
I think that George Bush and his wife try like heck to take the high road and try to encourage…have an upbeat attitude instead of looking like all is hopeless. Many people look to the Bushes and also Romneys. If they all look sour faced, it would possibly hurt the fight to win in the future. I personally think we have a lot of work to do to gain back any optimism in this country…I don't know if we can ever pull it off but we sure have to try!
I love the sign of Bush 43 with the caption … "Do you miss me yet?" That says it all.

What Makes a Travel Guru (or Two) Tick
When I traveled to Europe for the first time in my twenties Arthur Frommer's guidebooks were my bibles. So it was my incredibly good fortune to interview him and his daughter Pauline for a profile in Hadassah magazine. They loved the story and tweeted about it. See if you can find it @frommers. Here's the full story : http://www.hadassahmagazine.org/2016/06/08/arthur-pauline-fromme
Hindu-American Stands Up to BDS
Kudos to Milan Chatterjee, UCLA Law School, Class of 2016, for receiving the AJC Campus Courage Award at the AJC Global Forum 2016. Chatterjee, president of the UCLA Graduate Student Association (GSA), was honored for standing up to Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which sought his removal from office after he told a campus group that funding for a diversity event was contingent on a "zero engagement/endorsement policy toward Divest from Israel" or any related BDS movement organization. The GSA later found Chatterjee guilty of violating the student body's constitution, but voted not to take action against him.
"SJP, with the support of Palestine Legal and ACLU of Southern California, launched a vicious public relations and legal campaign against me, solely because my administration chose to remain neutral on the BDS issue," Chatterjee said. "Consequently, I gained first-hand exposure to how the BDS movement has created a hostile and unsafe campus climate at American universities. I especially empathize with my Jewish fellow students, who are being systematically harassed and bullied by this movement."

Human attention is an obvious phenomenon which is active during every single moment of awareness. It was studied first in philosophy, followed by experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience and finally computer science for modeling. Those studies are not a serial experience, but they add the one to the others as the layers of an "attention onion" (Figure 1).
Fig. 1 Attention history: an accumulation of domains in onion layers.
Due to the high diversity of applications of attention, a precise and general definition is not easy to find. Moreover, the views on attention evolved in time and research domains. In this first part of an attempt to get a definition of attention, we go through a brief history on the related research from philosophy to cognitive psychology. This first part addresses the times where the study of attention was more or less included in one single community.
A first important study on human attention was the one of N. Malebranche, a French oratorian priest who was also a philosopher. In his "The search after truth" published in 1675, Malebranche focused on the role of attention as a structuring system in scene understanding and though organization.
In the 18th century, G. W. Leibniz introduced the concept of "apperception" which refers to the fact of assimilating new and past experience into a new view of the world . Leibniz intuition is about an involuntary approach to attention (known today as a "bottom-up") which is needed for a perceived event to become conscious.
In the 19th century, Sir W. Hamilton, a Scottish metaphysician, changed the previous view on attention which consisted in thinking that humans can only focus on a single stimulus at once. Hamilton noted that when people throw marbles, the placement of only about seven of the marbles could be remembered . This finding opened the way to the notion of "divided attention" and led about one century later to the famous paper of G.A. Miller, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two" in 1956 .
After the first philosophical approaches, attention entered in a scientific phase when approached by psychology. Based on an observation error detected in astronomy, W. Wundt introduced the study of consciousness and attention to the field of psychology . He interpreted this observation error as the time needed to switch voluntarily one's attention from one stimulus to another and initiated a series of studies on the mental processing speed as the ones achieved by F. Donders .
At the second half of the 19th century, H. Von Helmholtz, in his "Treatise on Physiological Optics"  noted that despite the illusion that we see all our environment in the same resolution, humans need to move their eyes around the whole visual field "because that is the only way we can see as distinctly as possible all the individual parts of the field in turn." Even if he personally mainly inspected the eye movement scanpath (overt attention), he also treated on the existence of a covert attention (which does not induce eye movements). Von Helmholtz focused on the role of attention as an answer to the question "Where" the objects of interest are.
In 1890, W. James, published his textbook "The principles of psychology"  and remarked that attention is closely related to consciousness and structure. According to James, attention makes people perceive, conceive, distinguish, remember, and shorten reactions time. James indeed linked attention to the notion of data compression and memory. Contrary to Von Helmholtz, James is more focused on the fact that attention should answer to the question of "What" are the objects of interest.
Between the very beginning of the 20th century and 1949, the mainstream approach in psychology was the behaviorism. During this period, the study of mind was considered as barely scientific and no important advances were achieved in the field of attention. Despite this "hole" in the study of attention we can still find names as J. R. Stroop who worked on the "Stroop Effect"  showing that divergent stimuli (reading/color) heavily impair people performance.
After the Second World War and its practical questions on soldiers' attention and the development of the cognitivism, the study of attention made a tremendous comeback. To the behaviorist view which states that the organism behavior is under environmental control, the cognitivism showed that behavior can be modulated by attention.
The come-back of attention begun with the work of C. Cherry in 1953 on the famous "cocktail party" paradigm . This approach models how do people select the conversation that they are listening to and ignore the rest? This problem was called "focused attention", as opposed to "divided attention".
Broadbent  summarized most of the findings known until then in a "bottleneck" model in which he described the selection properties of attention. The idea is that attention acts like a filter (selector) of relevant information based on basic features, such as color or orientation. If the incoming information matches the filter it can reach awareness (conscious state), otherwise it will be discarded. At that time, the study of attention seemed to become very coherent and was called "early selection". Nevertheless, after this short positive period, most of the findings summarized by Broadbent proved to be conflicting.
The first "attack" came from the alternative model of Deutsch and Deutsch  who used some properties of the cocktail-party paradigm to introduce a "late selection" model, where the attentional selection is basically a matter of memory processing and response-selection. The idea is that all information is acquired, but is selected to reach awareness only the one which fits semantic or memory-related objects. This is an opposite view to Broadbent who professes an early selection of the features before they reach any further processing.
New models were introduced like the attenuated filter-model of A. Treisman  which is a softer version than Broadbent bottleneck and which let stimuli with a response higher than a given threshold switch the filter, thus the focus of the selective attention.
Later, in 1980, Treisman and Gelade  proposed a new "feature integration" theory, where attention occurs in two distinct steps: a preattentive parallel effortless step which analyze objects and extracts features from those objects. In a second step, those features are combined to obtain a hierarchy of focus attention which pushes information towards awareness.
Despite its high importance within the psychology theories, the feature integration was also highly disputed. Other theories emerged as M. Posner  spotlight supporting a spatial selection approach or D. Kahneman  and his theory of capacity supporting the idea of mental effort.
In the late 1980s, a bunch of theories on attention flourished and none of them was capable of including all previous findings. According to H. Pashler , cognitive psychology reached a dead-end. After several decades of research in cognitive psychology, more questions were raised than answers given. Pashler declared that "No one knows what attention is" as a provocative response to the famous "Everyone knows what attention is" proposed by James one century before.
Attention deals with the allocation of cognitive resources to important incoming information in order to bring them to a conscious state, update the scene model and memory and influence behavior. Between consciousness, memory and behavior, attention revealed to be much more complex that initially expected and some people even question the fact that attention is one single concept or there are several "attentions". Sometimes, attention became a kind of magical box where everything which could not be explained otherwise can get.
The number of issues and the complexity of the nature of attention led to an interesting move in the split of attention study from one single community into two different communities.
One has a will of getting further into the theoretical and the profound nature of attention (cognitive neuroscience) using adapted simple stimuli. The arrival of advanced tools such as functional imaging or single-cell recordings will allow them to make huge steps towards attention understanding.
The second community working in the attention field has a will of making the concept work with real data such as images, videos or others (computer science). From the late 1990s and the first computational models of visual attention those two approaches developed in parallel, one trying to get more insight on the biological brain and the other trying to get results which can predict eye behavior for real-life stimuli. Even if the computational attention community led to some models very different from what is known to happen in the brain, the engineers' creativity is impressive and the results on real-life data begin to be significant and the applications endless.
In a second part of our attempt to know more about what attention is, we will focus on cognitive neuroscience on one side and on computational attention on the other along with the known properties of attention.

An accident can happen at any time, and they can occur suddenly. It can be easy to get distracted by our thoughts or things like the radio when driving, but negligent activity can cause serious accidents. We must all remind ourselves to remain vigilant while driving as not doing so could cause injuries to victims.
On May 29, an accident involving two vehicles was reported to Massachusetts State Police. This incident was reported around 3:00 a.m., and first responders arrived at the scene quickly afterwards. The accident occurred on Hathaway Road and involved a serious fire.
Upon arrival, emergency responders secured the scene and closed the road for a time while emergency care was administered to at least one victim. This accident is still under review by police, and the extent of the injuries is still being determined at this time.
While the cause of this accident is still being investigated, all vehicle accidents remind us of the potentially devastating consequences of negligent driving. We must all do our part to keep the roads we travel on safe. When victims are injured in these collisions, they can seek compensation and assistance for their injuries so they can focus on healing.
We are conference members of our community who use the roads here daily. We also see the impacts of car accidents and how they devastate victim's lives. As such, we at the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Glassman strongly urge all drivers to remain vigilant while behind the wheel and follow all traffic laws. Unfortunately, we know that accidents do happen. When they do, we are equally dedicated to providing help to victims so they can concentrate on moving forward with their lives.
