Travelling between cities …. December 19, 2011 at 12:29 am ( probability. Consider the standard plane lattice. And suppose that each point. Represents a city. Each city is connected to its. Neighbors only and each edge. Carries a weight that represents the time it takes to go from city. A natural question is the following:. Given two (non-neighboring) cities on the map, how long does take to travel between them? In other words, each edge of the lattice. Carries a random variable. For those who want to pl...

New rants from the bathtub every week (probably). Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Music and Music Videos. A Frenchman, A Spanish Dude, and Two Singaporean Guys walk into a club…. May 25, 2016. After more than a week of trying to self medicate my cough, I decided to throw in the towel and see a doctor. But it was not to be. My descent into the pit of sickness was not over. A flu brought me down. The doctor asked if I wanted some of my medication to be of the slightly drowsy kind. Wiser...

SOMETHING YELLOW THIS WAY COMES. 101 random facts about Quekadoodledoo (really 101). Problem for QYPT 2011. Can you remember what it was like in the Ice Age, i.e. the last time I blogged? It’s hard to think of things to blog about when the audience of this blog (allow me to flatter myself by pretending they exist) is unlikely to be tickled by what I find funny, i.e. Physics jokes.

I am… I am. 1 I almost never visit my parents’ graves because whenever I get within 10 feet of where they were laid to rest, I start crying. 2 I am thoroughly convinced that Harry Potter and I are soulmates. 3 I love Harry but I am not in love with him. I am, however, head over heels for Percy Jackson. 4 I can’t play RPG because I’m panicky and will spend all of my time screaming and cursing and my character will just die. And The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And “heart wishes” (for dreams). 15 I was ...

Randomness has a motif, caprice a motive. Saturday, August 17, 2013. All in Due Time. And so I completed my last shift as a lowly HO last night. Wasn't exactly a shift to be proud of - my health has not been tip-top lately to be honest - but at least it's over. So rightfully I'll be an MO in less than a week's time. Excited? Sort of. Anxious, jittery? So now all I can do is wait. Wait and pray for the best. There's a saying I found online: Waiting patiently is easier than regretting tremendously. Forgive...

Words about things and stuff. Occupy (Wall Street, DC, Boston, etc.) needs an agenda, and that’s the least of its problems. Leave a comment ». Don’t believe what you hear. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters are not just a lazy bunch of hippies trying to bring down the financial industry. But don’t also think OWS protesters are an organized movement. They’re not organized because they don’t have a clearly defined agenda. October 11, 2011 at 10:55 pm. Posted in Domestic news. Laquo; Go Gringo Lost. A Step...

Words about things and stuff. An essay on criminal drug trafficking through Central America. Indications are that DTOs have established networks of front companies, expressly to help move contraband. Maras recruited into trafficking are paid with drugs or with relatively small amounts of cash, which keeps them dependent on Mexican DTOs. Meanwhile, larger Central American criminal organizations, which could potentially rival the Mexican groups, are targeted for elimination. Pan-American Highway in Peru.
