Essgee Pinafore Logo However, you won't like this version of Pinafore Princess Ida, the Roulette Song from The Grand Duke, "The World is But a Broken Toy" from Princess Ida, and "If you go in" from Iolanthe ). The start of Act II has been radically changed: it begins with Sir Joseph teaching the Captain how to dance a hornpipe, and that is followed by "The Hours Creep On Apace" (beautifully sung by Helen Donaldson), the Roulette Song, and "Fair Moon" (changed to a duet between the Captain and Buttercup). Even worse (for the purists) is that the music is played on three Moog synthesizers, with not a violin in sight. The traditional battle continues between the conductor (Kevin Hocking) and Jon English:

... Jewish World Review / August 11, 1998 / 19 Menachem-Av, 5758 Roger Simon Bubba's new secret weapon: the Marine Band WASHINGTON It has become a delicate little dance, almost a ballet between president and press corps. When the White House wishes the president to look strong and resolute, they place him near reporters who are kept behind ropes whenever they are allowed into the Rose Garden so that he can hear and reply to their questions. Only Bubba and his buddies
could use patriotic music
as a weapon against democracy. So on July 31, for instance, reporters were placed very close to Clinton in the Rose Garden, because the president's media wizards had decided now was the time for Clinton to look strong and resolute on the matter of Monica Lewinsky and his own upcoming testimony to the grand jury on Aug. 17. The press corps shouted a number of Lewinsky questions, and Clinton responded with: "I am looking forward to the opportunity, in the next few days, of testifying. I will do so completely and truthfully. I am anxious to do it." And then, he turned on his heel and walked into the Oval Office.

    This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics (Week 44)
    John Baez
    Special edition: the end of Donaldson theory?
    I got some news today from Allen Knutson. Briefly, it appears that Witten has come up with a new way of doing Donaldson theory that is far easier than any previously known. According to Taubes, many of the main theorems in Donaldson theory should now have proofs that are 1/1000th as long! I suppose to find this exciting one must already have some idea of what Donaldson theory is. Briefly, Donaldson theory is a theory born in the 1980s that revolutionized the study of smooth 4-dimensional manifolds by using an idea from physics, namely, the self-dual Yang-Mills equations. The Yang-Mills equations describe most of the forces we know and love (not gravity), but only in 4 dimensions can one get solutions of them of a special form, known as self-dual solutions. (In physics these self-dual solutions are known as instantons, and they were used by 't Hooft to solve a problem plaguing particle physics, called the U(1) puzzle.) Mathematically, 4-dimensional manifolds are very different from manifolds of any other dimension! For example, one can ask whether R^n admits any smooth structure other than the usual one. (Technically, a smooth structure for a manifold is a maximal set of coordinate charts covering the manifold which have smooth transition functions. Loosely, it's a definition of what counts as a smooth function.) The answer is no - EXCEPT if n = 4, where there are uncountably many smooth structures! These "exotic R^4's" were discovered in the 1980's, and their existence was shown using the work of Donaldson using the self-dual solutions of the Yang-Mills equation, together with work of the topologist Freedman. More recently, a refined set of invariants of smooth 4-manifolds, the Donaldson invariants, have been developed using closely related ideas.

    58. Simon Grant's Thesis Section 3.2
    donaldson 31 uses the poleand-cart apparatus essentially as described above, todemonstrate a technique of learning which he terms ``error decorrelation''.
    http://www.simongrant.org/pubs/thesis/3/2.html
    section list 3: Early studies overview General Contents Section 3.1 subsections ... Section 4.0
    Dynamic control and machine learning
    In the attempt to study human control of complex systems, studying collision avoidance in a realistic situation was a direct approach: but since that proved to have too many difficulties, a more roundabout approach was worthy of consideration, going via studying the control of a simpler dynamic system. The idea would be to start off modelling how people perform a task that is relatively easy to specify, and then gradually to extend the model to cover the control of more and more complex systems, until one is able to model realistic complex tasks. The realisation that there are no successful models even of human skills acquired in childhood, such as bicycle-riding, suggests that the approach via simpler skills is at least challenging.
    Figure 3.1: The pole and cart, or inverted pendulum One of the simplest dynamic control problems to be studied is that of the inverted pendulum, or pole-and-cart system (see Figure ). In this system, a rigid pole is connected by a hinge at its base, to a cart which is constrained to move along a linear horizontal track. A force is applied to this cart: if appropriate forces are applied in a timely fashion, the pole can be kept from falling over, and the cart kept from wandering too far away from its starting position. Typical values used in the simulation are:
