Goodbye Izaya... Chapter OneMore Like This
"Ugh....I've had this cold for three months now..." Izaya complained as he walked the streets of Ikebukruo as he wore a medical mask over his mouth and covering himself up as he shivered uncontrolably. "I just need to get home I'm done for the day..."
He looked over across where he was and saw Shizuo minding his own business and felt lucky that his back was to Izaya.
The raven haired informer sneezed and went to his home. It was like he said month three of his illness and even Shinra couldn't find out what was wrong let alone how to treat him. It was staring to hurt Izaya. He ached, coughed and sneezed as he walked to his little apartment to sleep. Like it would do any good.
Izaya laid in his bed for what seemed like hours before pure exhaustion took over and he drifted off to sleep.
Izaya soon awoke to a loud bang. He slowly got up and seemed confused. H

What am I going to tell Shizu-chan? I kept this hidden and now...he has my face....his eyes...Even if Shizuo knew.....would he believe me? What would he say to our son? Nine months.....Nine months of lying....nine months of keeping our child a secret....Now what to do....Shinra's dad was working on a way to time travel and asked me if I wanted to try it. Maybe it would be for the best....if it did work....to leave little Masaomi...in the past. It was Shinra who started this whole thing. HE was the one who knew everything that was going on with me since that day... Shinra was the one who helped me get Masaomi....and now...He's going to help me get rid of him.

The death of young Miss Elizabeth shook the Phantomhive manor roughly. Her death was unexpected, it was unpredicted, and it was sudden. Even Ciel's butler, Sebastian, who could perform any task with the up-most grace and perfection, couldn't halt her death.
It was meant to be. And so it happened.
When she had died everyone in the household had really expressed the meaning of 'you don't know what you have until it's gone.' Everyone missed the exuberant, nice, and clingy girl. Ciel, one Sebastian didn't expect to feel such a loss from, was also affected. He stayed shut up for several weeks.
When Sebastian asked him, he explained, "She was all I had left to my old life. In a way I knew this, but chose to ignore it. Even so mourning and sadness cannot bring people back to life. Nothing can."
Sebastian was truly the only one that felt little remorse, which was normal, considering he was a demon.
After a few months, you came into the picture. Sebastian, just

Mommy and daddy have been fighting again. I heard the screams, the shattering glass, the sobs mommy choked out as daddy brought down his hand. Brought it down again and again. I edge toward the kitchen and watch as mommy drowns her sorrows in vodka once more. Her face is red, other skin purple, black, blue, green, yellow-- all shades of pain. I watch silent tears trail down her face as she takes a swig straight from the bottle, dependent on the clear hand to whisk her away to a world where her and daddy don't fight. Where daddy doesn't take out his frustration on us. Where she and her daughter don't live in fear. She drinks, hoping the pain will fade. She drinks, hoping her scars will disappear. She drinks, coercing her bruises to heal. She drinks, wanting to drink just enough to fade away forever. In a short time, mommy's consumed the whoMore Like This

From what seems from an infinite abyss they fall, small glass crystals too thin to be real stones but too beautiful to be imaginary float down from the sky littering the city with their brilliance. In the night their white gleams from the street lights, sparkling and twinkling like somehow the night sky above was able to shed their stars and send them to earth just for those who inhabit it. All around people bustle about hurried with their own lives filled with cause and effect. Mothers hold onto their children's hands, children whine for their desires in toy shops. I've seen it before, done it before. Nothing is new.
Tilting my head upward I close the eye not covered by an eye patch allowing the small purities to flutter onto my face cooling it from built up anxiety. Somehow I managed to escape my mansion, convincing my maid to drive me to the city just to get away from all of the stress, all of the confusion. Lately my butler has been playing my heart like he's taught me how to play

A soft light filters through the curtains, casting a milky glow about the room making the usually dreary mansion look less. He stretches his arms out with a slight yawn; it's been so long since he's actually slept well. Not that he slept much at all last night, being on his toes watching for enemies to take his love away.
His eyes drift to the small body beside him, his sides rising and falling at a steady rhythm. Smiling fondly to himself Sebastian brushes back some of Ciel's hair from his face, the boy's expression completely peaceful. He makes a face in his sleep, his ski slope nose wrinkling slightly as he murmurs something, rolling on his side facing Sebastian. Exhaling Sebastian sits upright raking his hands through his hair staring at his clothes on the ground. Silently he dresses, fixing any imperfections in the mirror before wrenching open the curtains allowing more sunlight to blare into the room.
Ciel's eyebrows crease as he plunges under the covers emitting a slight moan. "

He turns away, averting his gaze from the scene of his own doing. Clenching his jaw he strides away only a few steps for that's all he could take before his own body gave in from under him. The demon collapses to the ground, his eyes staring at the ground intently as if it may give him an answer as to why.
His throat tightens with unshed tears as his chest slowly expels all feeling except that of remorse. His hands curl into fists as he crumples into the earth trying to hold back the tears, the truth. No, he will not cry, a single tear shall not pass his eyes for demons do not cry, do not love. Love is that the feeling the boy left him with? This horrible invisible monster that's eating away at his sanity and all that he thought he knew?
No. He's a demon, he can't feel what humans do, that thing they call 'love.' He, Sebastian Michaelis, isn't allowed to love since he's never encountered it. Until now.
Glancing over his shoulder he spares his deceased one last look before the mise

You had no clue why you were here.
See, America had invited you over to his house for what he called "The Most Amazing Party in The History of Parties". You were never the partying type, but one of your good friends, Cross, was going.
You stood on the doorstep, contemplating ringing the doorbell. Taking a deep breath, you pressed the button.

Suprisingly the G8 meeting had been going quite well today. Italy didn't cry as much, everyone was on time, Germany wasn't yelling, and strangely enough America was very quiet. It made England feel weird, like something just wasn't right. And America's constant smile didn't help that.

Hot answers tagged timing
A nice question.
Sampling from tCopula is done in stages. First a sample is generated from the copula with uniform marginal distributions, and then quantiles of appropriate marginal distributions are applied to the respective slots.
Most of the time goes into evaluation of these quantiles, and they are expensive to compute. Being interested in $\geqslant ...
This is a common limitation experienced in versions prior to 9. As Oleksandr explains:
Are you by chance using Mathematica 8? Integers were based on 32-bit machine values in previous versions, and this was changed to 64-bit only in version 9. As a result, Range[2^31, 2^31 + 1] returns a packed array only in the most recent version.
Fold automatically ...
The default SumCompileLength is 250.
You can increase this number for example to 500 using:
SetSystemOptions["CompileOptions" -> {"SumCompileLength" -> 500}]
I think this may be a duplicate of: How to avoid unpacking from Language`ExtendedFullDefinition
In Mathematica parallelism is only useful when processing takes longer than data transfer, otherwise the overhead of that transfer will make the parallel operation slower than the plain one. It should be somewhat faster than your original use of ParallelMap, but ...
I believe the difference you are observing is attributable to packed arrays.
What is a Mathematica packed array?
The difference between slow and fast is due to the behavior of RandomChoice. Observe:
<< Developer`
RandomChoice[{pr1, 1 - pr1} -> {1, 0}, 1350] // PackedArrayQ
RandomInteger[1, 1350] // PackedArrayQ
The progress cell that you see when you load data from the Wolfram server is a "PrintTemporary" cell. The following example is based on what is used by Mathematica to print these cells. You can modify and adapt this to suit your use.
monitorCell[i_] := CellPrint@Cell[
FrameBox[StyleBox[ToBoxes@StringForm["Progress: `1`", i],
To demonstrate the time saving using a linked list instead of AppendTo :-
time1[myN_] := First@Timing[
finalList = {};
For[i = 1, i <= myN - 3, i++,
For[j = i + 1, j <= myN - 2, j++,
For[k = j + 1, k <= myN - 1, k++,
l = RandomInteger[{k + 1, myN}];
AppendTo[finalList, {i, j, k, l}]]]]];
time2[myN_] := First@Timing[
With the help of comments on this and other stackexchange pages I managed to solve the problem of how to use custom distributions in things like CopulaDistribution (and other functions like RandomVariate, Expectation, etc), and given that it took me a couple of days' hard slog I thought I'd share my discoveries with this community. Please excuse the flippant ...
This isn't the most exciting example but I hope it helps.
Use AbsoluteTiming to time the function and use Table to iterate over a set of values. We're simply going to time the Pause function which just waits x seconds, in this case x^2. The values will be stored as list. First gives us the first element of the output of AbsoluteTiming which is the time ...
I am not sure PrintTemporary doesn't do your job
Module[{pTmp, etc},
pTmp = PrintTemporary["bla"];
Pause[3];(* do your stuff *)
NotebookDelete[pTmp]; PrintTemporary["blo"];
Pause[2] (*do more stuff*)
Your function would be something like
SetAttributes[DynamicDisplayFunction, HoldFirst];
DynamicDisplayFunction[code_, message_] :=
Module[{tmp = ...
Your question are impossible to answer in detail. Let my try anyway:
a) No one can tell you the exact reason of the different timings on your machine. You should keep in mind that it is very possible, that one run of your computation has side-effects you are not aware of. One obvious example for such a behavior can be demonstrated when you try this on a ...
You need your evaluations to take enough time for this to display. For example this works fine for me:
tmp = First @
Import["http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/country.zip", "*"],
Grid[{{"imported data being downloaded..."}}, Frame -> All,
FrameStyle -> Darker[Blend[{Blue, Green}], .1],
According to Leonid Shifrin recommendation:
Put your Mathematica session in debug mode by going to Evaluation->Debugger
F[x_] := Total[DigitCount[Mod[(2^10000) + 1, Prime[x]]]]
Table[F[x], {100000}]; // RuntimeTools`Profile
If you don't want to change the system options just to make Sum auto-compile, then you could instead replace Sum by Total:
Clear[vec, time];
vec = Table[i, {i, 100}, {j, 100}, {k, 300}];
time = Timing[
Table[Total[vec[[i, j, 1 ;; 250]]], {i, 1}, {j, 1}]][[1]]; time
The resulting timing doesn't show any significant difference between 249 and 250, and is ...
When calculating indefinite integrals Mathematica does not care about the convergence in a domain {x_min,x_max}. In case of definite integrals, at times it is necessary to provide information on the constants in order to obtain the proper result.
Check the tutorial on definite integrals.
The example with 1/(1 + a Sin[x]) is very similar to your problem.
Change to
delta := Module[{y},
NDSolve[{y''[n] + y'[n] - y[n] == 0, y[-3] == 1, y'[-3] == 1}, y, {n, -3, 0}]]
This is a possible bug.
This has been fixed in 10.0.2. The longer time now remain in the status windows. On windows 7, 64 bit
SetOptions[$FrontEnd, EvaluationCompletionAction -> "ShowTiming"]
Plot[{BesselJ[1, x], BesselJ[2, x]}, {x, 0, 10}, PlotPoints -> 1*^5,
Filling -> {1 -> {2}}]
Plot on its own does not take much CPU, added some dummy computation and count of how many refreshes has happened to make it more interesting. Is this what you meant?
You do not wrap Timing around the whole of Manipulate. To measure the CPU taken for each Manipulate refresh of its expression, which happens each time a control dynamic changes, just make a ...
Timing under 20 seconds on my computer now.
Ok, your original program took about 60 seconds on my computer meaning that my computer is faster.
The dramatical gain of time is due to halfing the MaxRecursion option value.
The plot still shows no visible difference.
I replaced Pi-Symbol by Pi for increasing readability in forum.
I tested some scenarios, and ...
I'm going to step out on the limb and answer re: what is almost certainly the "problem" - you are repeatedly evaluating to the same result, an aspect of recursive functions, so you're creating excess work.
By example of Fibonacci numbers:
fib[1] = 1;
fib[2] = 1;
fib[n_] := fib[n - 1] + fib[n - 2];
fib[5] // Timing
fib[30] // Timing
{0., 5}
I think that ParallelMap has bad implementation of the data distribution between kernels. However if computation of f takes a long time there is some speedup (tested on Core2Duo)
f[x_] := Nest[Sin, x, 1000];
test = N@Range[100000];
Map[f, test]; // AbsoluteTiming
ParallelMap[f, test]; // AbsoluteTiming
{5.813099, Null}
f = Transpose@Table[i {##2}/#^{##2} , {i, 1, #}] &;
f[3, x]
(*{{3^-x x,2 3^-x x,3^(1-x) x}} *)
f[3, x, y, z]
(* {{3^-x x,2 3^-x x,3^(1-x) x},
{3^-y y,2 3^-y y,3^(1-y) y},
{3^-z z,2 3^-z z,3^(1-z) z}} *)
If your n is a very big integer and your x and y are real values, and you need realy high speed, than you should try Compile:
cf = Compile[{{x, _Real, 0}, {n, _Integer, 1}},
n*x/Length[n]^x, RuntimeAttributes -> {Listable},
Parallelization -> True, CompilationTarget -> "C"
f[n_, x_, y_] := {cf[x, Range[n]], cf[y, Range[n]]}
For ...
Here is what I would do:
SetAttributes[timed, HoldFirst];
timed[expr_, timeItQ_] := Module[
Switch[ timeItQ,
True, (
timing = Timing[ expr];
Sow[ First @ timing ]; (* maybe use tags like SymbolName @ expr *)
result = Last@timing;
False, result = expr
Try this:
Flatten@Position[Sqrt[2 Range[512] + 1], _Integer, 1]
resulting in
{4, 12, 24, 40, 60, 84, 112, 144, 180, 220, 264, 312, 364, 420, 480}
You'll notice that the quasi-periodic oscillations are centered at the numbers in the list above. This is due to the fact that $\sqrt{2i+1}\in\mathbb{Z}$ for those values of $i$, and presumably Integrate's ...
With data your time series and t your interval, e.g., {t1,t2}, the maximum time event in your interval is given by:
How about
Table[First@Timing[N[Sum[(MatrixPower[A, j] t^j)/j!, {j, 0, i}]]], {i, 0, 200}]
If you want the iteration number side by side, just change the body of the Table to {i, First@...}.
I am reversing the order of this answer, putting new observations first, as I think that is most helpful.
I suddenly realized that you are "prepending" a vector V that does not match the row dimension of the packed array M. This means that unpacking will occur, and it seems to be full unpacking. If instead we append a vector of length 1000 we will not ...

I'm thinking the "Bill" Nina referred to might be the one from Kill Bill as well, considering her attack immediately reminded me of the spoiler[Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.] Though, perhaps there's a well-known "Bill" in some anime series I have yet to see, which is entirely possible. Either way, funny comic Robin, I'm very much looking forward to what else will happen in this storyline. |

The best way to teach your kid that the doc isn't always right.
I made this in hopes of:
Presenting the "World's Most Funniest Joke" in flash format,
Showing that not all programmers are horrible artists,
And lastly, to show that not all short and small-sized flashes are poor.
All voices in Doctor's Orders are by TomaMoto, and the whole file itself is compressed into just under 150kb so that everyone can see it.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
That´s pretty funny
When obvious words are taking literaly...brilliant.
I give you a easy 5. :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Ok admittedly not the best animation, but it made me laugh :) Keep up the good work.

Boyd Tonkin: Biography once revealed the secret self. Now, what you see is what you get
The Week In Books
Boyd Tonkin
Boyd Tonkin is Senior Writer and a columnist at The Independent. An award-winning journalist, he was formerly Literary Editor at The Independent, and before that Social Policy Editor and then Books Editor at the New Statesman magazine. He has broadcast extensively for BBC arts and current affairs programmes and has judged the Booker Prize, the Whitbread biography award, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the David Cohen Prize. In 2001, he re-founded the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for literature in translation, and serves on its judging panel every year.
Saturday 05 May 2012
Martin Amis, please come back – we need you. In fact, the self-exiled novelist hardly has to stir from his new Brooklyn home to see the bizarre celebrity scenarios foreshodowed in his dystopian fiction of the 1980s take shape on every screen.
If a literary Rip van Winkle, in oblivion since c.1987, awoke to read Tom Bower's biography of Simon Cowell, what conclusion might our big-haired slumberer reach? Quite possibly, that Amis had written a sequel to Money that satirised the pursuit of wealth and power through media fame with such overweening silliness that it discarded every last shred of plausibility.
Simply look at the names of the showbiz wannabes, big cheeses and hangers-on. Whereas Money made do with Caduta Massi, Butch Beausoleil, Fielding Goodney and Lorne Guyland, Bower's Sweet Revenge: the intimate life of Simon Cowell (Faber) regales us with Denniz Pop, Cécile Frot-Coutaz, Claudia Rosencrantz (a far from minor courtier at ITV), Mel Medalie and Roxana Reyna - not forgetting Zeta Graff, "a hilarious Greek divorcee".
Bower brings all his meticulous sleuthing and narrative verve to bear on Cowell's ascent from music-biz also-ran to the camp pantomime villain who has parlayed his smirking persona on Pop Idol, Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor into a TV franchise empire of mind-boggling reach. Indeed, the phrase "too much information" may spring to the flagging reader's lips. Deals are done, stars are born (and implode), entertainment moguls spar, and billionaires' yachts nuzzle one another in tropical coves like epicurean porpoises. But someone had to do the job, and no one in this game outclasses Bower. In a coda, the biographer, whose demolition of plutocratic idols has resulted in rigorous ives of (inter alia) Conrad Black, Robert Maxwell, Bernie Ecclestone and Mohamed Fayed, writes that "after a 43-year career chasing criminals, cheats and con men, I don't think Cowell fits into any of those categories". We have no reason to doubt him.
Yet Cowell's rise may well make biographers quake. Put simply, modern biography has feasted on a banquet of secrets: on unruly desires, hidden traumas, buried impulses. Concealed motives drive the illustrious life, and the skilled biographer dives into the chasm between secret self and public role. As WH Auden's poem "Who's Who" has it, "A shilling life will give you all the facts:/ How Father beat him, how he ran away/ What were the struggles of his youth... Some of the last researchers even write/ Love made him weep his pints like you and me."
Bower gives us lavish helpings of youthful struggles in showbiz, and plenty on the girlfriends (if not "love") – even if reading about Cowell's affairs and ambitions can feel a bit like observing the mating habits of geckos or the territorial skirmishes of jellyfish. But, for the most part, this archetypal post-Freudian celeb incarnates the computer mantra of WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get.
Behind the Botox mask ("no more unusual than toothpaste" for Cowell) may lurk not a striving hero, nor a scheming villain – but the abyss. Given Bower's copious evidence, his model of a belittled outsider driven by revenge – an urge to compensate for early humiliations – looks unduly schematic. It feeds our nostalgia for traditional motivation, with Cowell a Coriolanus of the TV studios, hacking down every detested rival. On this showing, cool calculation rather than bitter hurt have sealed many deals.
Will the future of fame resemble Cowell, with every Facebook-nurtured talent or tycoon as transparent - even as vacant - as he can seem? If so, then biographers will need to devise new formats to suit the post-secrecy self. Philip Larkin once wrote a poem called "Posterity". In it, he imagined his own biographer passing judgment on the poet: "one of those old-type natural fouled-up guys". Bower's Cowell is far from that. Should we worry?
Dandy dialogue from a highly literary operator
For earnest cinema buffs, to call a film "literary" is a term of deadly abuse. Civilians need not share their hang-ups – nor literate directors. Whit Stillman's offbeat campus comedy Damsels in Distress is the most "literary" mainstream movie I've seen in years - witty, stylised and studded with fabulously mannered dialogue, delivered by a wonderful cast. It even acknowledges its own debt to "the dandy tradition in literature", alluding to the fiction of Thomas Love Peacock and Ronald Firbank. Fans of formal comedy might spot some other affinities. I never thought that a Hollywood movie would remind me of the novels of Ivy Compton-Burnett, but this one – deliciously - did.
Authors pay for the e-book boom
With inflation at almost 4.5 per cent last year, ought we to celebrate the keen value of a market in which the average price of goods fell by 1.3 per cent? I'm not sure that I can raise even one cheer, to be frank. Books got cheaper during 2011, as the Publishers' Association's digest of statistics shows. The reasons clearly connect with the headline grabbing news that e-books now account for 8 per cent of all titles sold in the UK: the value of the digital sector soared by 366 per cent.
This electronic-reading boom ensured that, deep in recession, overall book sales edged down by only 2 per cent (to £3.2bn): a fairly robust performance if you consider the raw figures. But behind them lies the relentless downward pressure on prices exercised in the digital domain by Amazon above all: a trend that inhibits publishers from raising the price of their print editions. Good news for readers, surely? Up to a point, if they don't care about the ability of future talents to earn even a scanty living from their works. So, as e-book prices drop, authors should collect higher royalties: 50 per cent sounds fair.

Swim Program lessons, taught by an instructor from Infant Aquatics. This Groupon is valid at two locations in Chagrin Falls and South Euclid. Choose between the following options:

Swimmers 6 to 12 months old increase buoyancy with a bevy of swim-float-swim techniques, including holding their breath, rolling from face down to back up, and floating. After turning 1, students proceed to advanced amphibious skill sets such as swimming with their face in the water, rolling over to breathe, and entertaining company on a lily pad. Lessons can be scheduled at Notre Dame College in South Euclid Monday–Friday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or at the Chagrin Valley Athletic Club in Chagrin Falls on Tuesday–Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Parents are encouraged to schedule early for the best availability.

The English Patients Eat Pesticide
For decades, U.S. and foreign pesticide manufacturers have been feeding their products to rats, rabbits, mice, and guinea pigs in thousands of controlled laboratory studies, all designed to satisfy government regulatory requirements for chemicals that kill weeds, insects, rodents, and other pests.
School Shootings On the Decline
During this past school year, the American public was riveted by the images: small town and suburban schools taped off by police-lines, paramedics rushing to wheel tiny bodies away on gurneys and kids being carted off in hand-cuffs. As the national media poured into Pearl, Mississippi; West Paducah, Kentucky; Jonesboro, Arkansas; Edinboro, Pennsylvania; and Springfield, Oregon; — the magnified coverage of these highly unusual crime stories turned into what some news outlets described as — an all-too-familiar story — or — another in a recent trend. Even a non-fatal shooting in Richmond, Virginia garnered national headlines in June because it occurred in a high school hallway during final exams.
Following Cambodia's elections this past weekend, the country seems to be teetering on the brink of a crisis as opposition leaders are blaming fraud for their apparent election defeat to the ruling Cambodian Peoples Party headed by Hun Sen. The leaders are vowing to boycott the new parliament and organize protests. This is significant because under the constitution, a new government requires endorsement from 2/3 of the 122 seat National Assembly. Meanwhile, U.S. officials called last night for a thorough investigation of the allegations of fraud, which some interpret as Washington throwing its weight behind the opposition coalition that is viewed as more IMF friendly. Full results of Sunday's vote are not due until this weekend.
Honduran Priest Disappearance Case Blocked By Washington
It's been nearly fifteen years since U.S. priest James (Guadalupe) Carney disappeared in Honduras. The Chicago-born priest was working as a chaplain to an armed revolutionary column when they were captured by the Honduran Army. Father Carney had renounced his US citizenship and dedicated his entire life to the cause of liberation in Honduras. Many people believe that shortly after his capture, the radical priest was thrown to his death from a helicopter. His case is one of tens of thousands of cases of disappeared persons in Central America that are unsolved. What is interesting about the case of Father Carney is that the United States seems particularly intent on withholding much of the information the CIA and the State Department have on his disappearance.
