![]() ![]() That's the earliest memory that I have of envisioning, being an artist performing on a stage. I would walk around and I would make up dances in the courtyard to Britney Spears and pretend I was part of her music videos. I Did It Again.' I had Stronger.' I had 'Lucky.' And every recess, I busted it out. ![]() ![]() And my goal was to get as many Britney Spears HitClips as possible. Oh, my god, I'm having the craziest flashback to having - do you remember HitClips? HitClips is like this little baby boombox that's the size of your hand, and you could get all of these tiny little chips that you insert like a CD. So honestly, Britney Spears is probably the first female pop artist that I was obsessed with. “What an iconic year for Britney's Oops!. Hannah Diamond, an English singer-songwriter who’s signed to left-field pop label PC Music, reflecting on the impact Britney left on pop music, told me by phone recently: “You know that phrase like, ‘She walked so we could run,’ or something? I think it's actually more, ran so we could walk." The young tendrils of radical change that Britney would later use to shape an entire industry - unabashed sexuality, raw and honest storytelling, unmitigated confidence - can all be found embedded in the songs on Oops!īelow, eight musicians from pop’s new generation - Hailee Steinfeld to Slayyyter to Dorian Electra - reflect on how Britney’s impacted them, and celebrate 20 years of an iconic American pop classic. I imagine I share this impression with millions of people around the world, young people who have grown up alongside Britney, including those talented few who are venturing into pop music themselves at the current moment. Its cover - Britney peering through a beaded curtain, her midriff exposed - I could probably sketch from memory. The most potent memory I have was lugging its hard plastic CD case with me everywhere I went - from day care to home, to the grocery, to home again. I Did It Again Britney was a star blooming into herself.Īs for me, I was 5 years old when the album came out. Not yet fully weighed down by the paparazzi, tabloids, gossip, and vulturous media eye, Oops!. Together, they formed a multifaceted, simultaneously relatable and aspirational pop star while also sketching out the blueprint of a sound that would rule pop music for the better half of a decade. Of course, there's the title track, but there was also the empowering anthem “ Stronger” that followed, the dreamy, unexpectedly vulnerable narrative of “ Lucky,” and the R&B yearn of “ Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know,” just to name a few. With help from now legendary pop producers Max Martin, Darkchild (aka Rodney Jerkins), and more, Spears delivered unrelenting bop after unrelenting bop. ![]() I Did It Again remains as fresh, relevant, and wholly idiosyncratic as the day it was released, arguably gaining cachet as time goes on. Two decades later, one would be hard-pressed to name a Britney record that hasn’t solidified itself as a time-tested masterpiece. "My ultimate goal is to be around for a really long time and be someone like Madonna or Janet Jackson," Spears told MTV at that time. sold over 1.3 million copies in its first week, breaking the record for most first-week sales by a female artist (Adele's 25 claimed that title 15 years later). She was at a new height in her still young career, the first peak of what feels like many - her face on lunchboxes, Barbie dolls, toys, and apparel. She'd teased the new era a few months prior with the title track, its music video blasting across screens around the world, forming the now-iconic image of Britney in a red latex catsuit conquering space. Twenty years ago, on May 16, 2000, an 18-year-old Britney Spears unleashed her sophomore album, Oops!. ![]()

These need not produce nonzero imaginary component artefacts as noise due to roundoff error. It thus still may be superior to use a dedicated root-finder on the characteristic polynomial, or compute the eigenvalues numerically, following substitution at floating-point values of parameter p. Note however that these involve radicals and the imaginary unit, and immediate substitution of a floating-point value for parameter p results in small nonzero imaginary component in the results (as numeric roundoff artefact). This results in 8 explicit formulas (in terms of parameter p) for the eigenvalues. That also allows the characteristic polynomial of the exact rational form of k+kG to factor symbolically w.r.t. Following clarification by the Original Poster I make an adjustment below to replace the former definition of the entry of Matrix k by the value for its entry. Is that intentional, or a mistake? (If k is intended to be symmetric then please clarify, because it means that k+kG can be cast as a Maple Matrix with shape=symmetric and the floating-point eigenvalue computation will be a little faster, produce no 0.0*I imaginary artefacts, and return sorted by default.)

Perhaps the following code will help get you started. So you will need to substitute numeric values for p, in order to obtain the remaining eigenvalues as floating-point. If you convert all your floating-point coefficients to exact rationals then it appears that k+kG has eigenvalue zero with multiplicity of two.īut the characteristic polynomial that remains (after dividing out lambda^2) is of degree 6, and that does not appear to factor directly. ![]() ![]() I heard maple can solve this problem but I am amateur on maple. Just remember that estimates of accuracy are worst case.I have a problem to calculate eigenvalues of a symbolic matrix. However, your matrix is still ill-conditioned. The above should be able to translated to C++ very easily (or use Matlab's codgen to generate C/C++ code that uses this or eig). I'm not sure how you're going to get more fast and accurate than that (other than performing a refinement step using the eigenvectors and optimization) with simple code. There is no inherent way to order those, or to associate them with a particular row. For a 3 x 3 matrix, the eigenvalues are 3 roots of a cubic, with two of the solutions being complex conjugates of each other. ![]() This can be further optimized by noting that the eigenvalues are centered about 1 and thus only half of them need to be computed: n = size(A,1) Eigenvalues are a global property, not associated with particular rows. In Matlab for your matrix this is simply: n = size(A,1) There is a closed-form solution for the eigenvalues in this case ( reference (PDF)). I'd guess that eigen and Matlab's eig have special cases to handle such matrices. Your system is tridiagonal and a (symmetric) Toeplitz matrix. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: This can also be done using the Group Policy Editor.

How to Use AppLocker to Block Executable Files/Appsīelow is a step-by-step guide to configuring AppLocker to block an application from running on a computer: This has been discussed in the steps given below to block an app. With that said, there are additional steps you can take to mitigate the issue of all other applications being automatically blocked when creating a new rule in the AppLocker. However, when an AppLocker rule for a specific rule collection is created, only the files explicitly allowed in a rule are permitted to run. If no AppLocker rules for a specific rule collection exist, all files with that file format are allowed to run. Microsoft explains this in the following statement: However, if you create an exception for one app, all others are blocked unless you make an exception for them too.

Thankfully, Windows 11, Windows 10, and a few Server editions come with a built-in app called “AppLocker.” As the name suggests, this utility is used to lock away applications that you do not want the users to use. For example, a computer installed at a doctor’s reception desk may only need to run a few Microsoft Office apps and maybe a scheduling software.

![]() A bee happens to drift by and Quack tells of the skunk's ability to the bee who, being unimpressed, tells Quack of its ability to sting others before flying away. While walking, Peep asks Quack if he finds that flower that they saw was beautiful and Quack tells Peep to forget the flower and instead expresses his awe at the skunk's ability. Quack attempts to imitate the skunk but the skunk points out that only his kind can do so and Quack angrily walks off. ![]() Quack sticks his head in the skunk's tail and comments he does smell something bad but not like the repulsive smell and the skunk explains his defense mechanism of spraying animals with a repugnant odor. Quack tells the animal, who happens to be a skunk, off and then asks the skunk if he has smelled anything revolting, whereupon the skunk explains he is the smell. Quack then walks away and walks on top of a black and white object and, as he is wondering about the smell, the object moves and looks up at him scaring the duck into jumping off the animal. Later Quack finds a sock that, despite its repulsiveness, is also not the smell. Peep tags along with Quack as both go looking for the smell and they stumble across a flower of which Quack, upon sniffing it, deduces it is not the terrible smell. Quack misinterprets Peeps reaction as doubt and sets out to prove Peep wrong. After Peep's inquiry of how Quack will get rid of the smell, the duck responds that he will speak to it sternly which causes Peep to laugh. Quack tells Peep that he should never ask him to spend the night again and then decides that he will get rid of the smell around his pond. As Quack beings to explain how terrible the smell was, he falls asleep mid-sentence and later in the morning, he and Peep face the difficulty, and are successful, in get out of Peep's home. Peep sleepily awakens and asks the duck why he is here causing Quack to being to explain about the smell in his pond only to realize it has disappeared. Quack runs to Peep's can and shouts for Peep to wake up before jumping into his can and ramming into the sleeping chicken. Please note he appears in so many episodes, not all are listed here.Īs Quack in in his pond about to go to sleep, he smells something repulsive, Unable to stay in his pond due to the smell, causes him to rush away half gagging. The number one thing that got Quack was that she gave him a new name: "Plurp". Quack has on multiple occasions told Chirp how she is a funny bird but this does not appear to bother her.įemale Quack - She took over Quack's pond and even once gave a concert. Chirp will still help Quack and, as seen in the episode A Duck's Tale, has taken notice of his superior swimming abilities, though not being too fond of the duck trying to teach her how to swim. Chirp does not give Quack any ground to boast, whether it be about himself or ducks, but has been seen using it to manipulate Quack such as in the episode Springy Thingy where she, upon asking Quack about whether ducks exceed in certain qualities and gaining his agreement, cause him to let her and Peep stand on his shoulders. ![]() Quack in turn will argue back with both birds often going to Peep to help solve their problem. Even though Quack can brag or show off sometimes, Peep is still kind to him.Ĭhirp - Chirp is friends with Quack but has been shown frequently arguing with him and sometimes challenging what the duck asserts is his or his own accomplishment. Peep - Peep is patient and kind with Quack. Beaver Boy appears to never refer to Quack by his real name and will either refer to him as blue sailor or, rarely, blue duck. Quack has the ability to dive, swim well, and talk underwater and always waddles when he walks. He is protective of his hat and will sometimes let it be used to carry water, but often begrudgingly. He often bosses Peep and Chirp around and argues with Chirp, sometimes falsely accusing her of things that he has done. Quack is very fanatical about ducks and often sings self-aware songs about them and talks about them. Quack made his debut in the episode Spring Thing and lives in a pond. Quack has a obsession with ducks and likes to eat, sing, and boast about himself. He is very attached to his hat and expresses great discomfort when it is gone from his head by force. Quack is portrayed to be bossy and very self centered but also cares for his friends as seen when he helps Chirp tire out Tom, rescuing Peep and Chirp on various occasions, and helping to save his home. He has two oval shaped black feet that are connected to the rest of his body by his cylindrical black legs. Quack has two eyes that are white with black pupils and a black bill is located beneath his eyes. On the top of his head is a small white sailor hat. Quack has a oval shaped body that is covered with indigo feathers that may also appear to be blue at night. ![]() ![]() Surrender Deck on the Battleship Missouri Plaque marking the spot of the Japanese surrender aboard USS Missouri With the right angle and light, you can even capture the droplets of oil slowly leaking from the ship’s cracked hull. The rusted metal has withstood the passage of more than seven decades, as if to embody the American resiliency shown after the attack. Arizona was the biggest single loss of the 1941 attack, and her haunting frame lying just below the harbor’s surface is a reminder of just how devastating the attack was.įrom the memorial, one of the best shots you can take is of the gun turret just barely breaching the surface. It’s impossible to miss, but the shadowy form of the USS Arizona (BB-39) is an absolute must for your photograph collection. What sits below the memorial, however, is the real piece of history. The design itself is an interpretation of America's time at war, from the prideful high point before, to the low of the Pearl Harbor attack, and rising again with the victory over Japan. It’s the “must-see” piece of the experience as it represents so much from the tragic day over 76 years ago when the Japanese launched their surprise attack. ![]() The USS Arizona Memorial is an icon of Pearl Harbor.

Every time a player makes progress in the game such as fighting, picking up items or triggering events, the odds determine how each event will play out. They also use a toy map that can be expanded arbitrarily with additional pieces and models representing their character. The manager holds the rule book with rules for scoring and leading the storyline. There is a game master, or player, in addition to the manager. Since then, the role-playing game genre has grown to incorporate many other genres. These games provided players a chance to immerse themselves in the game world by deciding the characters' fates. Prior to electronic games, people played role-playing games with paper, pencil and dice. ![]() This game is a dish that hasn’t been enjoyed for a long time because it’s funny and interesting with a new look. However, Knights of Pen and Paper 2 isn’t one of them. Currently, there are a lot of mobile games with beautiful graphics and familiar gameplay. This makes people think about classic games like Gameboy and the SNES it makes them nostalgic. The game’s reviews point to the attraction of the game due to the previous 8-Bit graphics and now 16-bit combined with a playful sound. Players can explore, level up, learn new skills and upgrade familiar features thanks to these similarities. The first Knights of Pen and Paper 2 game includes many of the aspects of the role-playing game series. This allows players to fight different types of monsters by shaking the dice during the opponent dialogue with the NPC. Players can choose the characters and create as many dungeons as they want in Knights of Pen and Paper 2. Players interact with the characters seated around the table during each game. The chessboard style still persists in the game, similar to the Dragon & Dungeon title. They also added new combat systems, additional classes of characters and tools for players to craft. The developer of the game added more information to the first version's 8-bit graphics by upgrading them to 16-bit. The game's storyline continues where the first part left off it also features turn-based battles. Two game studios Paradox and KYY Games recently launched Knights of Pen and Paper 2 as a sequel to the first part of their mobile game.
