Staying power. The list of classic cocktails includes the likes of The Old-Fashioned, the Mint Julep and The Manhattan. It’s no surprise that the origin of the cocktail is muddled. Some say the first was a medicinal rum drink made by British explorer Francis Drake in the 1500s while others point to the Sazerac, which was created by a New Orleans merchant in 1850. Regardless of which was the official first, cocktails have evolved to include a menu of spirited drinks ranging from boozy Manhattans to fruity daiquiris. Cocktail culture has expanded, too: these days bartenders are as creative as chefs, showing the same dedication to using quality ingredients and pushing flavor boundaries. Spirits are the base of cocktails though many, like small-batch bourbons or bitter Italian amaros, are just as delicious when sipped on their own. Gin, tequila, Scotch whiskey—pick your poison: our F&W guide to cocktails and spirits has you covered with recipes for cocktails listed by spirit, season and ingredient, plus how-to tips for mixing the best drinks and editor’s picks for where to drink next.

Over time, he learns the tricks of the trade, including, from his mentor, Doug Coughlin. His advice usually begins with 'Coughlin's Law'. Brian has high personal aspirations, but Doug is leery of the two starting their own bar together. Doug intends to call his bar 'Cocktails & Dreams'. Eventually, Brian and Doug's bartending act becomes popular and they end up working at a trendy nightclub. As their popularity rises, Brian becomes the focus of attention from a brunette named Coral. Doug is alarmed that Coral is coming between their partnership and bets Brian Coral will leave by week's end. Unknown to Brian, Doug tricks Coral into sleeping with him. He secures his bet by sharing a kiss with Coral in front of Brian. Brian and Doug get into a fight, ending their partnership. Three years later, Brian takes a job in Jamaica as a bartender to raise money for his own place. He finds a romantic partner in Jordan Mooney, an aspiring artist and waitress. Doug shows up in Jamaica, now married to Kerry, a wealthy woman who openly flirts with other men. Doug bets Brian to show how he can 'pick up' a new customer named Bonnie, a wealthy older woman. Brian accepts the challenge and wins Bonnie over. As they go back to Bonnie's room, Jordan sees them. Devastated, she takes a plane back to New York. The next morning, Brian regrets sleeping with Bonnie. He goes to find Jordan but learns that she's gone. Doug teases Brian about the situation but Brian decides to upstage Doug by returning to New York with Bonnie. He reluctantly assumes a role of kept-boy and grows annoyed by her lifestyle. They have a blow-up during an art exhibit when Brian gets into a fight with the artist. Brian shows up at the diner where Jordan works. She rejects his flirting but agrees to listen to his apology after work. They talk but Brian keeps saying the wrong things and Jordan repeatedly tells him to leave. Then, to his surprise, she tells him she is pregnant with his child. He decides to prove to her that, despite being bartender, he would make a worthy father. Brian learns that her family is wealthy, and goes to her parents' penthouse to speak with her. Jordan's father attempts to buy Brian off, but he refuses the money. Jordan refuses his advances, not wanting to be hurt again. Brian meets up with Doug, who confides that his wife's money is nearly gone, lost in the commodities market. Doug is unwilling to admit to his bride the precarious position they are in. Later, Kerry makes Brian take her home when Doug is too drunk. Once inside her apartment, she attempts to seduce him. Brian stops it from going any further out of respect for his friendship with Doug. Kerry is angry at being rejected and calls Brian a coward. Brian goes to check on Doug and discovers he has slashed his throat and wrists with a broken bottle. After the funeral, Kerry sends Brian a letter, which is revealed to be Doug's suicide note. Brian realizes that Doug killed himself because his life was a sham. Reeling from losing his friend to suicide, he returns to Jordan's parents' home and begs her again for forgiveness. He tells her that Doug killed himself because he was too proud to ask for help and that Brian doesn't want to make the same mistake. He promises to take care of her and their child. Brian and Jordan leave together, with her father pledging not to give a dime to the couple. Brian and Jordan get married and have their wedding reception at his Uncle Pat's bar in Queens. Uncle Pat lends Brian the money to open a neighborhood bar called 'Flanagan's Cocktails & Dreams'. At the Grand Opening, Jordan reveals that she is pregnant with twins. Brian offers free drinks to celebrate, much to his Uncle Pat's chagrin.

Crowley as Doorman Original novel [ ] The film was based on a novel. Gould had worked as a bartender in New York from 1969 to 1981 to support his writing career. Gould said he 'Met a lot of interesting people behind the bar and very rarely was it someone who started out wanting to be a bartender. They all had ambitions, some smoldering and some completely forgotten or suppressed.' He started writing the book in 1983 and finished it a year later. Gould says the lead character 'is a composite of a lot of people I met, including myself in those days. I was in my late 30s, and I was drinking pretty good, and I was starting to feel like I was missing the boat. The character in the book is an older guy who has been around and starting to feel that he's pretty washed-up.' Many of the incidents in the book were autobiographical. The novel was published in 1984. Production [ ] Script [ ] Film rights were bought by Universal. Gould wrote the script, changing it from his novel. He says the studio put the project in turnaround 'because I wasn't making the character likable enough.' Disney picked up the project 'and I went through the same process with them. I would fight them at every turn, and there was a huge battle over making the lead younger, which I eventually did.' Gould later admitted that the people who wanted him to make changes 'were correct. They wanted movie characters. Characters who were upbeat and who were going to have a happy ending and a possible future in their lives. That's what you want for a big commercial Hollywood movie. So I tried to walk that thin line between giving them what they wanted and not completely betraying the whole arena of saloons in general.' Expressed interest in playing the role, which helped get it financed. 'There were a lot of bartenders around like Tom Cruise, younger guys who came on and were doing this for a while — and then 10 years later, still doing it,' said Gould. 'It wasn't as if I was betraying the character. It was a matter of making the character more idealistic, more hopeful — he's got his life ahead of him. He turns on the charm, without the cynical bitter edge of the older guys.' Bryan Brown later said the original script 'was one of the very best screen plays I had ever read. About the cult of celebrity and everything about it. Tom Cruise is a very sweet man, he was then and still is. But when Tom came in, the movie had to change. The studio made the changes to protect the star and it became a much slighter movie because of it.' Casting [ ] Bryan Brown was cast on the strength of his performance in F/X. Production [ ] The film was mostly shot in Toronto. Gould says the tricks involving throwing bottles was not in the book, but something he showed Cruise and Bryan Brown. They used it and it became a prominent feature of the film. Post Production [ ] A music score was originally done. A new score was added at the last minute. Kelly Lynch later said the film 'was actually a really complicated story about the ’80s and power and money, and it was really re-edited where they completely lost my character’s backstory—her low self-esteem, who her father was, why she was this person that she was—but it was obviously a really successful movie, if not as good as it could’ve been.' She claimed Disney reshot 'about a third of the film. And turned it into flipping the bottles and this and that. But we had a really great time. And Tom was so much fun, just a ball to work with, both on and off camera.' Reception [ ] Box Office [ ] Cocktail was a financial success, earning $78.2 million at the North American box office, and $93.3 million globally to a total of $171.5 million worldwide. Critical [ ] The film received negative reviews from critics. Review aggregator reports that 5% of 39 film critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 3.9 out of 10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'There are no surprises in Cocktail, a shallow, dramatically inert romance that squanders Tom Cruise's talents in what amounts to a naive barkeep's banal fantasy.' It won two for and Worst Screenplay while Tom Cruise was nominated as and as. The film is listed in founder 's book as one of The 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made. Of gave Cocktail a negative review, calling it 'an upscale, utterly brainless variation on those efficient old B-movies of the 1930s and 40s about the lives, loves and skills of coal miners, and telephone linemen, among others.' Of the was also critical of the film, explaining that 'the more you think about what really happens in Cocktail, the more you realize how empty and fabricated it really is.' Gould said 'I was not happy with the final product. It got so savaged by the critics. I was accused of betraying my own work, which is stupid. So I was pretty devastated. I literally couldn't get out of bed for a day. The good thing about that experience is that it toughened me up.' In 1992, Tom Cruise admitted the film 'was not a crowning jewel' in his career.

On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country.

And the deeper they slide, the more their once cast-iron friendship begins to crack under the pressure of competing for the new kid on the block. Xavier Dolan's second film, Heartbeats, is a study of the fall into love. We follow each stage of the typical love story’s progress – it starts with a meeting and ends in tears. The film reveals a fundamentally simple intrigue that careers through a whole gamut of poetic craziness: passions unleashed, expectations, sorrow, humiliation and, finally, loneliness. What adds up to great scenery, music, costumes, acting, performances and execution is a common-yet-novel love story that scratches even deeper than most of us [public] may believe at first glances. Young and passionate, ambiguous and straightforward. Full of contrasts but pretty clear.

Writer/director Onur Tukel turns in a hilarious performance as the monumentally lazy, socially oblivious and commitment-shy Erik Sparrow, who is dumped by his career-woman girlfriend (Anna Margaret Hollyman, White Reindeer) when he rejects her rather charitable marriage proposal. Feeling lost, he turns to a disastrous string of online dates that successively eat away at his already-deteriorating confidence until a lanky vampire turns him into an undead ladykiller. Soon, Eric is prowling the streets of Brooklyn in search of anything to satisfy both his maniacal sex drive and his hunger for blood. A collision of absurd, self-deprecating wit and existential curiosity, Summer of Blood is a hilarious horror-comedy with a clever bite all its own. (C) Dark Sky Films •. ½ I wouldn't call this a conventionally funny movie, in the sense that the film isn't a laugh a minute indie comedy. It's mostly a cynical, misanthropic character study of this man who's oblivious to the fact that everyone around him thinks he's a dick. Whether it's due to his obliviousness regarding everything, or the fact he doesn't take anything seriously, his somewhat unintentional misogynistic viewpoints, it's kinda hard to like this man, for the most part.

The film has kind of a hipster feel and tone as to how the story plays out and how talky it is. Because of that, the dialogue-heavy, droll writing, some people will absolutely detest this movie. Can't say that I blame them, this style is more of an acquired taste but I like to keep my mind open. I don't like to dismiss movies just based on whether or not I like the style of writing, cinematography, or acting. A good movie is a good movie and that is all I care about to be honest. Of course, I wouldn't say that this is a good movie at all. The idea of taking vampire tropes and turning them upside down in this indie setting is a good idea. I just found that the movie is a little bit all over the place without a real strong narrative tying all of it together. It certainly tries as Erik, the protagonist, once he turns into a vampire, realizes that he wants all of the things that he was afraid of at the beginning. He also realizes that being a vampire kinda sucks. While it has its benefits, to him, at first. He starts to grow tired of it and wishes to find a way to get rid of it. Erik's ways starts to change as he begins to appreciate what he had with his ex-girlfriend and what he can do to regain that. It's ok, but I don't think it's strong. I think the film is a little bit disjointed and uneven at times. If it focused strongly on this aspect of the character, it would've been better. It's not that the movie doesn't try, it's just that it doesn't do so successfully. The funny has some funny lines, but there's nothing really laugh out loud here, at least to me. There's a funny moment of Erik and the dude that bit him who, on the sidewalk, share a drink of blood from this dude all the while they're having a very casual conversation. It's not hilarious, but it is amusing nonetheless. The acting is fairly decent all things considered. It fits the style perfectly, so nothing to complain about there. I wouldn't really recommend this movie to everybody, it really is an acquired taste, but I think it offers a fairly unique view at the vampire genre. So, at the very least, you get that. It might not be good or anything, but at least it tries to do something different. Average movie at best. Won't miss anything if you decide to skip this.

Job Search Automata Theory is a branch of computer science that deals with designing abstract selfpropelled computing devices that follow a predetermined sequence of operations automatically. An automaton with a finite number of states is called a Finite Automaton. This is a brief and concise tutorial that introduces the fundamental concepts of Finite Automata, Regular Languages, and Pushdown Automata before moving onto Turing machines and Decidability. Audience This tutorial has been prepared for students pursuing a degree in any information technology or computer science related field. It attempts to help students grasp the essential concepts involved in automata theory. Prerequisites This tutorial has a good balance between theory and mathematical rigor. The readers are expected to have a basic understanding of discrete mathematical structures. AUTOMATA Automata is world's most advanced and only programming assessment that uses machine learning for grading programs. THE NEED There is a huge need of good software engineers across the industry given the ubiquity of IT, cloud and mobile based solutions. The industry looks for software engineers who can not only think of the right algorithm for a problem, but also figure out efficient solutions for a problem and write code that is scalable and maintainable. Most current solutions simply find the percent of test cases a program gets right, and not grade based on the thought process of the candidate or quality parameters of a code, as an expert interviewer would have. Also, the talent available at entry-level is very scarce. Our Solution: AUTOMATA The tool Automata is the world's smartest coding test to find the most appropriate software engineer for a position. Here the candidate is provided with a couple of programming problems, for which s/he writes the solution in a simulated compiler integrated environment. The candidate can compile and execute his/her code to find how it is performing on test cases. Grading To grade a program, Automata goes beyond the simplistic test case criterion using its patent pending technology. Based on semantic analysis of the program and use of machine learning, Automata grades a program on how close a program’s implementation logic is to a possible correct solution. Our machine learning algorithm score matches an expert score by a Pearson correlation of coefficient of 0.85 on average (where test cased based score just matches 0.6) – this means our automated engine grades as well as an expert interviewer would do. It can detect programs which are low on test case score, but are semantically very similar to a correct implementation, thus capturing the thought process of the candidate. In a case study at a recruitment event of a company, it was found that the machine learning score was able to predict 22.6% good candidates, which would have been missed by using just a test case metric. Automata also intelligently structures the test case scores in a taxonomy: basic, advanced and edge. Rather than a monolithic test case score, Automata tells the interviewer, what percent of basic, advanced and edge cases the program of the candidate misses. This is insightful, for instance, a candidate who just misses edge cases, has got the primary logic of the program correctly. On the other hand, a candidate with the same total test case score may miss some advanced cases, which implies the primary logic is faulty. Automata is world's most advanced and only programming assessment that uses machine learning for grading programs. There is a huge need of good. The latest Tweets from NieR:Automata (@NieRGame).

Automata Theory Introduction - Learn Automata concepts in simple and easy steps starting from Introduction, Deterministic Finite Automata, Non-Deterministic Finite. Other than this, Automata finds how efficient is the solution in terms of time complexity and code maintainability. For the prior, our algorithm detects time complexity correctly 95% of the times. Within two programs that are logically correct, this measure helps us know which will run faster and is the right algorithm to use in a production environment. Finally, based on some 120+ rules, we detect whether the program is written in a scalable way: is readable by others, not prone to bugs and easily extensible. Graded on a 4-point scale, it distinguishes programs which are readable and extensible, from those which have one or none of these qualities. Given that most time in the IT industry is spent in re-writing and extending legacy code, this feature makes Automata extremely powerful. Finally, Automata also provides a feature to compare the code similarity to other submissions in an event to find if a candidate may have used unfair means to complete the test. In summary, Automata checks the code logic, its performance on a taxonomy of test cases, its time complexity and code maintainability. Grading on these metrics makes it the most advanced tool out there. Industry Modules Automata programming tests come in different versions for hiring software engineers for IT services and IT product companies, entry-level and laterals. A curated question bank, validated empirically, with problems testing different aspects of data structure usage and algorithmic approaches is used on the backend. Automata is available in C, C++, Java and Python. It can be combined with our technology specific modules such as those in Websphere, Power Builder and Java Swings, to form a powerful suite to test candidates for different positions. Automata Fix A very high proportion of people in the services industry and also some in the product industry spend their time in debugging existing code and adding new features to it. Automata-Fix addresses finding the right software engineers to do this efficiently. The test provides a set of programs to the candidate, where they have to either debug them or right new functionality based on the given functions and code. It tests the candidate’s skill of being able to understand code written by someone else, be able to find bugs and also use the code to implement new functionality. The module is also very useful as a screening tool to find candidates who have basic exposure to programming and can be trained in a reasonable time to become software engineers who could write code from scratch. The Advantage The real programming skill is not how well you know concepts & constructs but how well you can apply them. Which is why, Automata, our path breaking programming test not only evaluates correctness but also code quality & efficiency in execution. It also provides an objective norm based score for each test. And if that’s not all, the complete test happens in a simulated environment to evaluate the speed and real-time error-handling skills of the candidate. Automata comes with a scientifically designed question bank consisting of a wide range of easy to hard programming problems with smartly designed corner and generic tests cases. Automata evaluates a candidate's knowledge of algorithms, data structures, concepts like recursion, dynamic memory allocation and modular programming. The compiler supports multiple programming languages like C, C++, Java and more. Features • With a variety of basic, advanced and edge test cases designed for that problem, the code is checked thoroughly for correctness and completeness. • Automata is capable of evaluating the time complexity or simply the efficiency of the code. • The code is scored on quality of the code based on industry defined best practice. • A detailed report with objective and subjective evaluation of the code. • Different versions of Automata available to IT Products and IT Services companies. • The compiler supports multiple programming languages support like Java, C, C++ and more. Delivery Automata can be delivered alongside AMCAT, Aspiring Minds' standardized online, adaptive assessment test. It can be delivered on campuses by setting up a local area network and can also be conducted online through an internet connection. Different versions are available for IT Product and IT services companies looking to select talented programmers. Detailed automated reporting on real time and features like interviewer feedback make it easy to use in a mass scale. ROI Automata has shown to be a strong selection criteria in the recruitment process of various companies. It can not only increase recruitment efficiency by up to 65%, but when used as a selection criteria, helps eliminate bad hires thus driving up organizational efficiency. 7/10 Director Writers Yew Kwang Han (written by) Cast Country Singapore Language English, Tamil, Teochew, Mandarin Runtime Singapore:81 min Plot A romantic comedy usually involves a handsome man and a pretty lady.

About The Trainer, Tim Wigren Tim has had horses his entire life and spent much of his early years learning to work with unbroke horses and riding all seats and many breeds. At 15 he was named Thurston County & Washington State 4-H Champion in Saddle Seat Equitation, and that dedication and love of the Arabian horse resulted in his seeking apprentice positions with many different trainers and facilities including Jeff Tracy and Sweet Home Arabians. In 1989, Tim struck out on his own and Command Performance was born! Originally located in Northwest Oregon, Tim began racking up wins on the 'A' circuit at the local and national levels while making a name for himself as a coach of youth and adult amateur riders with a barn dedicated to individual achievement as well as fun while learning. Tim was beginning to be sought after for judging and clinics and became well known as a trainer and judge who would give a lot of time to any person who needed assistance whether they rode with his barn or not. As his reputation grew so did his desire to have his own facility, so in April 1998, Tim and Rachel moved Command Performance to its current location and were married in the arena on horseback in September of that year. Since that time, Command Performance has grown steadily and continued it's reputation for matching horses and riders, starting horses gently, and being a positive place for horses and riders to learn together—at the same time amassing an impressive number of Championships in the showring at all levels and with several breeds though with a special focus on Arabian and Pinto horses. Judging assignments have grown and Tim continues to be a sought after clinician travelling all over the Northwest and beyond to share his knowledge, crazy sense of humor, and love of horses in general. Tim has also served as a board member and elected officer of several Northwest clubs and for the past four years has served as head coach of the local high school equestrian team. In October 2000, Tim and Rachel were blessed with the birth of son, Tanner.
