Dearly Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am former Mrs. Fatima Adijat Alade, now Mrs. Mary Abosede Alade, a widow to Late Sherrif Alade. I am 70years old. I am now a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.
From all indications, my condition is serious and is quite obvious that I may not live more than six months,because the cancer stage has gotten to a very severe state and my doctor has told me this. My late husband was killed during the Gulf war, and during the period of our marriage we had a son who was also killed in cold blood during the Gulf war.
My late husband was very wealthy and after his death,I inherited all his business and wealth. As my doctor told me that I may not live for more than six months,I am so scared about this. So, I now decided to divide part of the inherited wealth, by contributing to the development of evangelism in part of the world. This mission which will no doubt be tasking had made me to recently relocated to Nigeria, Africa where I live presently. I selected your ministry after visiting the website for this purpose and prayed over it, I am willing to donate the sum of US$10.000,000.00(Ten Million USD)to your Ministry for the development of evangelism and also as aids for the less privileged around you.
Please note that, this fund is lying with a Security Company and my family lawyer will file an immediate application for the transfer of the money in the name of your ministry.
If you are interested,do contact our Lawyer on the email address below,his name is Barrister FRANK OSAROBO:
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please, do not reply me if you have the intention of using this fund for personal use.
Lastly, I want your ministry to keep praying for me as regarding my health because I have come to find out since my spiritual birth recently that wealth acquisition without Jesus Christ in one's life is vanity upon vanity.
May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you now and forevermore.
We await your urgent reply.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Mary A. Alade No.1 Sherrif Alade Close Off Sobande Avenue, Maryland Lagos-Nigeria.

In the future, where autonomous transportation will be the norm, can you imagine a day where you can tap your phone to have a car pick you up anytime anywhere? No more struggling to find a parking space, no more insurance, no more buying gas! In fact, even the concept of owning a vehicle may be considered as old as dial-up Internet.
In this future, eventually society might even go as far as blame people for accidents to the point where human driving is deemed unsafe.
So what do you think? Should driving be a protected right similar to the 2nd amendment, or do you think driving on public roads would ever be considered illegal?
9 out of every 10 accidents could be prevented!

In the U.S., driving on public roads is a privilege and not a right.

The foundation of an object-orietned is the message, but most visible organizational structure is the class.
OO Questions:
What are your classes?
How many should you have?
What behavior will they implement?
How much do they know about the other classes?
How much of themselves should the expose?
At this stage, your first obligation is to take a deep breath and insist that it be simple. Your goal is to model your application, using classes, such that is does what is is supposed to do right now. Design is more the art of perserving changability than it is the act of achieving perfection.
Code should be TRUE:
Transparent: The consquences of change should be obvious in the code that is changing and in distant code thst relies on it.
Reasonsable: The cost of any change should be proportional to the benefit thr change acheives
Usable: Existing code should be usable in a new and unexpected contents.
Expemplary: The cod itself should encourage those who change it to perpetuate these qualities.
TRUE ensures that each class has a single, well-defined responsibilty.
Creating Classes That have a Single Responsibility
A class should do the smallest posbbile useful thing, that is - it should have a sing responsibility.
Why Single Responsibility Matters
Appliciations that are easy to change consist of classes that are easy to reuse. Reusable classes are pluggable into units of well-defined behavior that have few entanglements.
A class that has more than one responsibility is difficult to reuse. If you want to resuse some (but not all) of it behavior, it is impossible to get only the parts you need.
If the responsibilties are so coupled that you cannot use just the beviour you need, you could duplicat the code of interest.
Deterimining If a Class Has Single Responsibility
How can you determine if a class contains the behavior or belongs somewhere else?
Ask it! "Mr Gear, What is your ratio?"
Another way to figure it out is to attempt to describe the class in one sentence. If the simplest description you can devise includes "and", the class likely has more than one responsibility. If the description includes "or", then the class has more than one responsibility and they aren't even related.
When a class is related to it's purpose, its considered "highly cohesive" or to have single responsibility (Single Responsibility Principle)
Determining when to make design decisions:
Don't feel compelled to make design decisions prematurely. When the future cost of doing nothing is the same as the current cost, postpone the decision. Make the decision only when you must with the information you have at the time.
Writing Code that Embraces Change
Here are a few well known techniques that you can use to create code that embaces change:
1. Depend on Behavior, not Data
Behavior is captured in methods anid invoked by sending messages. In addition to behavior, objects often contain data. Data is held in an instance variable and can be anything from an simple string to complex hash. Data can be accessed in 2 ways: 1. you can refer directly to the instance variable
2. you can wrap the intance variable in an accessor method
Hide Data Structures
1. Always wrap instance variables in accessor methods insteadof directly referring to the variables
2. Use Structs
Direct references into complicated structure are confusing, because they obscure what the data really is and the maintenance is a nightmare.
In Ruby, it's easy to seperate structure from meaning - just as you use a method to wrap an instance variable, you can use a Ruby Struct class to wrap a structure.
Ruby defines Struct as "a convenient way to bundle a number of attributes together, using accessor methods, without having to write an explicit class.
2. Enforce Single Responsibilities Everywhere
3. Extract Extra Responsibilities from Methods
Methods, like classes should have single responsibility so they are easier to use. Apply the same design techniques as you would with classes.
- Seperating iteration from the action that's being performed on each element is a common case of multiple responsibitlity that is easy to recognize.
The imapct of the single refactoring like ithis is small, but the cumulative effect of this coding style is huge. Methods that have single resonsibility confer the following benefits:
1. Expose previously hidden qualities
2. Avoid the need for comments
3. Encourage reuse
4. Easy to move to another class
Isolate Extra Responsibilities in Classes
Once every method has a single responsibility, the scope of your class will be more apparent
The path to changeable and maintable object oriented software begins with classes that have a single responsibility. Classes that do one thing isolate that thing from the rest of your application. This isolation allows change without consquence and reuse without duplication.

Object Oriented Design requires that you shift from thinking about the world as a collection of predefined procedures to modeling th world as a series of messages that are past between objects.
In Praise of Design
Desgin really doesn't become a concern if nothing ever changes (requirements). But something always changes and it is the need for change that makes desugn matter.
Why is Change Hard?
Object oriented applications are made of partst that interact to produce the behavior of the whole. The parts are objects, interactions are emobodied in the messages that pass between them.
OOD is about managing dependencies. It's a set of coding techniques that arrange dependencies such that objects can tolerate change. Changing one object forces change upon its collabortors.
However when objects know too much, they have expectations about the world in which they reside. And these expectations contstrain them.
A Practical Definition of Design
Design is an art of arranging code. Design has two components:
You must not only write code for the feature you plan to deliver today, you must also create code that is amendable to being changed later.
Design that is that anticipates specific future requirements almost always ends badly. It shouldn't guess hte future, but rather perserves options for accomodating the future, leaving you room to move.
Primary goal is to allow you to desiglm later, and its primary goal is reduce the cost of change.
Design Principles
SOLID stands for Single Responsibilty, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, & Dependancy Inversion
DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself
LoD - Law of Demeter
Design Patterns
give us the power to name common problems and solve those problems in common ways, allowing us to big fuzzy things into focus.
The Act of Design
How design fails:
1. Lack of it - programmers typically now little about design
2. Under-designed - lack of knowledge of design principles
3. Over-design - seasoned devs may disgn relentlessly
4. Object Oriented Desgin fails when the act of design is seperated from the act of programming. The feedback loop should be timely and incremental; the iterative techniques of the Agile Development are perfect for well-designd OO applications.
When to Design
Agile believes that the mot cost-effective way to produce what customers's really want is to collaborate with the, building software one bit at atime such that each deivered bit has the opprotunity to alter ideas about the next.
There is no need to do BUFD (Big Upfront Design)
The Agile Process gaurantees change and yu ability to do so depneds on your design (sinple, flexibe, and malleable code).
Judging Design
Back in the day, design was jusged by the number of lines of code (sometimes referred to as SLOC). The ultimate software metric would be cost per feature over the time interval the matters.
Failure to design increases your technical debt.
Your decision about design depends on two things.:
your skills and your timeframe.
A brief introduction to Object Oriented Programming:
OO applications are made of objects and messages that pass between them.
Procedural Langauges
is a non-object oriented progamming technique. Every possible data type and po]eration already exists, you can't make up wholly new operations or brand new data types.
Object Oriented Programming
Ruby has a string object instead of a string data type. Because Ruby string objects supply their own operations, Ruby doesn't have to know anything in particular about the string data type but rather it only need to know how to send object messages.
Ruby allows to you to provide classes tha essentially blueprints for the consturction of similar objects. A class defines methods (definitions of behavior) and attributes(definitons of variables), while also allowing you to instantiate new objects with same operations or behavior.

Mailgun
Mailgun is an email service for developers - which is clear in its interface. It has a ver low-level design that is easy for tweaking and has alot of options.
- It focuses on transaction emails and it optimized for deliverability.
- It also allows for the receipt of emails.
- You can specify an email address that you want mailgun to listen. Mailgun can pre-process the message and parse out parts of the email and send to your app for processing.
- It can handle campaign emails, number of clicks, etc.
How to Integrate Mailgun into our Server
We are using Heroku and there is a Mailgun/Heroku add-on. There is a free option that limits to 300 emails/day.
It's pretty simple beyond that. You just log into Heroku, select your app, and run the command:
heroku addons:create mailgun
Read Documentation on Sending Emails via SMTP
Go to your configuation for your production env, and change the setting to those listed. Make sure you keep stmp as the delivery method. Env variables will be set by Heroku, so you don't have to worry about that.
Mailgun supports two delivery methods. The reason we can use smtp is becasue ActionMailer will help us to prepare to proper map format. But HTTP is also an option. You don't have to rely on Rails to do that. You can just use REST client that will use an HTTP POST. Check the API documentation to see what other headers can be sent.

With Gmail, there are clear sending limitations.
Sending out emails is something that you should offload onto a third-party provider as it is a critical business process. You want to ensure emails are recieved right away and not in the recipients email folder.
Mailgun & Postmark are the recommended email service providers. When considering vendors, you want to focus on devliverability.
Check out the is Quora article on comparing well-known email service providers. In this course, we will use Mailgun.
Good blogpost for getting set up with Gmail.

In our Todos example, we created a method
before_create :generate_token
for and then defined the generate_ token method under private,
within the Todos model.
But what if you want to include this in several models?
DRY does not only mean "Dont Repeat Yourself", but it also means to have
one authoritative source for method calls
That's where ActiveSupport::Concerns can help by basically extracting the common code into a module
lib/tokenable.rb
module Tokenable
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
before_create :generate_token
end
def generate_token
self.token = SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64
end
end
Then in the Todo model:
class Todo < ActiveRecord::Base
include Tokenable
With Rails 3 or later, the lib directory is no longer automatically loaded
You instead have to:
require_relative '../..lib/tokenable'
class Todo < ActiveRecord::Base
include Tokenable
end
Now if you dont want to require_relative everytime:
You can do one of the two:
- move the Tokenable file to your models folder
- go to /enviornments/application.rb
config.autoload_paths << "#{Rails.root}/lib"
then remove require_relative from the model.

The Carrara Education Technology Center is proud to announce the Alpha launch of it’s website found at cetc.ed.psu.edu.
Since my start with the Carrara Education Technology Center, or CETC, I have been tasked with designing and developing a new web presence for the College of Education. If you visit their current site and explore a little bit, you will notice it’s rather challenging to navigate to information that would be desirable to most types of people that would visit the site, students, faculty, prospective students, etc… It’s easy to drill down into content and get lost. Content is also slow to be written, edited, and published. The technical side of our infrastructure is even worse; We run Plone on Windows servers with a caching Varnish (Linux) server. This is a gross simplification of our current stack, however the point I’m making is that the bar of entry on any of our projects is rather steep for most developers.
To solve these issues I decoupled our website’s public views and CMS to focus on the content creation process. I nixed Plone and our expensive Windows servers for Drupal 7 and comparatively Linux servers. Within Drupal I was able to rapidly define content creation workflows for our staff and expose the data via RESTful services. By splitting the CMS and public views apart, I am able to focus development on either backend and front-end. The backend would be Drupal and front-end will be in AngularJS, ReactJS, or another front-end JavaScript framework.
The CETC website will serve as the Drupal portion of the previously described stack. Any other site we build will consume the content via the RESTful service.  The backend team will work within Drupal and front-end team will focus on AngularJS/ReactJS.

Helpful hints on setting and atmosphere: a few close friends around (of the oposite sex is usually helpful, physical touch can be very pleasing, although sometimes you might not want anyone around at all, it depends on your preference and state of mind), and a safe situation where you're not likely to get in trouble (paranoia can squash the experience a little),
Coming Up: strange numbness spreading throughout the body, anxiety and eagerness, Nasal Drip Starts, euphoria begins to creep up on you (very pleasant)
Peak-
Physical: Extremely fast heart rate, TOTAL lose of appetite (the very thought of food is repulsive and seems quite Unnecessary), an eagerness about the body (except you'd rather just sit tight and enjoy, it almost debilitates you), it feels like every cell and bone in your body is jumping with delight (although this is more mental, it feels more physical), body tremors and something like shaking throughout the body, deep breathing, Lots of Nasal Drip
Mental: EXTREME EUPHORIA (the best part), Hallucinations(probably the strangest part, they're mostly audio hallucinations, i've had things like dogs running around my house, people yelling at me (very scary) and lots of voices saying things in my ears, stuff blowing up, etc.
Coming Down: very very painful cravings, very irratible, not too social, i suggest some weed, sleeping pills, or heroin would be best, getting up and moving can really help.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Star Keegan Allen Calls Follower’s Bet On Instagram
November 23, 2019
‘Pretty Little Liars’ Star Keegan Allen Calls Follower’s Bet On Instagram
Despite having 6.5 million followers on Instagram, Pretty Little Liars star Keegan Allen didn’t miss a beat when one of his followers placed a bet in the comments of his post shortly after he uploaded it to his profile.
It was less than an hour ago that Keegan posted a video clip that was roughly a minute long. In the clip, the Pretty Little Liars star revealed that he would be at the German Comic Con on December 7 and 8. He noted that he looked forward to meeting with some of his fans during the convention.
The video featured Keegan rocking his lengthy brunette tresses in a top knot. The hair style choice was similar to what Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco and her husband Karl Cook were recently spotted rocking while enjoying a dinner together in Thailand.
Allen paired his unique choice in hair style with a significant amount of facial hair and a simple white t-shirt. He also flaunted his piano playing skills for the camera as he continued to spill details on the convention.
While he noted he wasn’t willing to give too much information away, he explained there were several really great guests coming to the convention that people were going to want to see and meet with.
Inside of an hour, her followers viewed the video clip over 30,000 times. He also had over 160 leave comments.
One of the more notable comments that quickly moved to the top because of the number of reactions it attracted was a wager for Keegan.

Loading...
Roughly three minutes after the comment hit his video clip, Keegan called the individual on the bet. In fact, the actor told the individual where they could send the $5.
Allen tagged the official Instagram account for an organization called Race to Erase MS and asked his follower to send the $5 to them.
The individual Keegan called on their bet has roughly 3,000 followers and frequently posts memes on their profile. One of its more recent posts — which features baby Yoda from Mandalorian — was liked by Keegan Allen.
Unfortunately, it is unclear whether the individual will make good on the bet. Moreover, the bio of the Instagram user suggests placing bets in exchange for likes and follows is something the account holder makes a habit out of doing. Comments on the individual’s recent posts also suggest the individual never follows through on paying the bets.


Fushun, China
Ring of Life
The massive steel ring looks like it could be China’s first Stargate.
by Tony DunnellIn 2009, plans were made to create a new town between the two industrial cities of Shenyang and Fushun in the northeast of China. Shenfu New Town, as it was called, would handle the overflow from the two cities, which had been growing rapidly during the preceding decade.
To achieve its vision of “a place where people and nature live in harmony together,” local authorities brought in the entertainment designer Gary Goddard and his Californian-based firm, the Goddard Group, to develop a section of the new city. As well as developing plans for housing, retail, and entertainment sectors around the planned parks and lakes, Goddard came up with an ambitious and rather leftfield idea: A massive steel ring.
Due to the small local population of Shenfu New Town (which even in 2015 remained pretty much a ghost town), not all of the plans came to fruition. But local authorities were somehow convinced by the idea of a massive steel ring, and believed their new city needed a sightseeing landmark to attract tourists. So they promptly gave Goddard the green light.
Completed in 2012, the Ring of Life rose up from the lakeside, dwarfing nearby tower blocks, many of which remained unfinished or unoccupied. Despite questions and criticisms regarding the utility of such a construction, especially at an estimated cost of $16 million U.S. dollars, the Ring of Life immediately caught the world’s attention. And it’s easy to see why.
The steel ring is 515 feet tall and weighs about 3,000 tons. Its surface is embedded with around 12,000 LED lights, which allow the ring to be lit up at night in various colors. The original design incorporated a bungee jumping platform at the top, but it was deemed too high for bungee jumpers. There is, however, an observation deck at the top of the ring, accessible by a series of four elevators.
The internet, meanwhile, had a field day with the newly unveiled Ring of Life. Some more sober-minded commentators noted similarities with the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. The rest, well, they generally surmised that the structure was in fact a Stargate or portal of some kind, and got busy Photoshopping all kinds of things going in and out of the ring, including spaceships and giant cats.
Know Before You Go
The Ring of Life is located in Shenfu New Town, midway between the cities of Shenyang and Fushun in the Liaoning province of northeast China. You can see the ring from a long way away, so it’s not too hard to find. You can get there by taking a bus to Wangli Street, just east of the 4th Ring Road is it crosses south over the Hunhe River.

Jo Swinson still thinks she might become PM in excruciating Question Time clash
The Lib Dem leader laughed as a Question Time audience member told her the stance was 'ridiculous' - but she told host Fiona Bruce that stranger things have happened in a general election campaign
by Ben Glaze, Dan Bloom, https://www.facebook.com/MirrorPolitics, https://www.facebook.com/mirrordanbloomJo Swinson tonight suggested she might still become Prime Minister despite needing to gain more than 300 seats in a cringeworthy live TV clash.
The Lib Dem leader was hit with a tough question on a BBC Question Time leaders' special over why she claimed she'd become PM.
But despite an audience member saying her claim was "ridiculous", she claimed she had no regrets.
And although she said things are now tougher she left the door open to the idea she could still join 10 Downing Street.
Ms Swinson was tackled about her claim at the start of the campaign that she could realistically become PM.
“Do you regret how ridiculous that sounded?” an audience member asked.
Smiling ruefully, she claimed: “I don’t regret it.”
But she went on to say: "There is still three weeks left in this campaign.
"And all I would say to anybody that thinks that you can predict the outcome of the election in the middle of the campaign.
"Ask Theresa May how that worked out last time around!"
The audience also tackled the Lib Dem leader over her bid to scrap Brexit without another referendum.

Another railed against the party still claiming to be democratic, branding its name a “misnomer”.
Ms Swinson, who was a minister in the 2010-15 Tory/Lib Dem coalition, also left the door open to another coalition with the Conservatives, if Mr Johnson was removed as leader.
And she was challenged on her record as a minister when the Liberal Democrats were in coalition with the Tories.
Responding to an audience question, Ms Swinson said: "We also had plenty of fights with the Conservatives and we won some of those fights and we lost some of those fights and I am sorry that we did not win more of those fights in coalition."
But the audience member said they were not happy with her answer - and it was too late to stop "harsh and uncaring benefit cuts".
It came as Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn faced a live primetime grilling from voters as the clock ticks down to the general election .
The Prime Minister and Labour leader were each due to be quizzed for 30 minutes by a BBC1 Question Time studio audience in Sheffield.
Lib Dem chief Jo Swinson and the SNP ’s Nicola Sturgeon were also confronted with voters’ questions, hosted by BBC presenter Fiona Bruce.
The leaders drew lots to decide the appearance order.
The format has proved tricky for No10 hopefuls in the past; in 2015 Ed Miliband stumbled off the stage after fielding questions for half an hour.
And in 2017 Theresa May was wounded after shouting at a nurse: “There is no magic money tree!”
The TV showdown comes after Labour launched its manifesto, and on the eve of the Conservatives’ unveiling their ballot box blueprint.

This file will become your README and also the index of your documentation.
Create a free Pachyderm cluster on Pachyderm Hub.
Connect to JupyterHub in the cluster
Clone this repo
pip install pachyderm_tutorial
Create a Pachyderm data repository called data
!pachctl version
!pachctl create repo data
!pachctl list repo
When we list our repos, we can see that we have an empty data repository, with no data in it. So let's add some data.
%%writefile iris.csv
5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,Iris-setosa
4.9,3.0,1.4,0.2,Iris-setosa
4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,Iris-setosa
4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,Iris-setosa
7.0,3.2,4.7,1.4,Iris-versicolor
6.4,3.2,4.5,1.5,Iris-versicolor
6.9,3.1,4.9,1.5,Iris-versicolor
5.5,2.3,4.0,1.3,Iris-versicolor
6.3,3.3,6.0,2.5,Iris-virginica
5.8,2.7,5.1,1.9,Iris-virginica
7.1,3.0,5.9,2.1,Iris-virginica
6.3,2.9,5.6,1.8,Iris-virginica
Data repositories in Pachyderm automatically track versions of the data placed in them. Similar to Git, we organize our data via branches, so we will push our data to the master
branch of our data
repository.
!pachctl put file data@master -f iris.csv
We can look at the data that's been uploaded to our data
repository, by listing the files on the master branch.
!pachctl list file data@master
Similarly, if we want to delete our file we can do that as well.
!pachctl delete file data@master:/iris.csv
!pachctl list file data@master
Now let's add it back again.
!pachctl put file data@master -f iris.csv
Now we can list all of the commits that have been made to our repository to see the history of the master
branch.
!pachctl list commit data
Pachyderm keeps a record of all the changes that happen to the data
repository. This way if we ever want to revert to a previous version of our dataset, we can do it.
For example, if we wanted to change move the head of our master
branch to the first commit, we could run the following command (note the commit hashes will be different if you are running this yourself):
!pachctl create branch data@master --head 4670ab8ce78e4306a5789144f30b4afd
!pachctl list branch data
We can also use Ancestry Syntax to traverse commits. ^
for the parent of the commit or we can reference the commits in numerical order using .n
, where n
is the commit number.
!pachctl create branch data@master --head be040bd068fb4e67ae59cd2f40bb2a0c
!pachctl list commit data@master^
!pachctl list commit<EMAIL_ADDRESS>!pachctl list commit<EMAIL_ADDRESS>!pachctl list branch data
Pachyderm also lets you create code pipelines that can be triggered by your data. These pipelines connect to your data repositories, ensuring that they run anytime your data is updated.
Here is an example of a Pachyderm pipeline.
%%writefile count.yaml
pipeline:
name: count
description: Count the number of lines in a csv file
input:
pfs:
glob: /
repo: data
transform:
cmd: ['/bin/sh']
stdin: ['wc -l /pfs/data/iris.csv > /pfs/out/line_count.txt']
image: alpine:3.14.0
When our pipeline runs, it will map the data from our data
repository into the container that's running our pipeline. It will also automatically create a new data repository to hold and version our output(s).
We can submit our pipeline to Pachyderm by using the create pipeline
command.
!pachctl create pipeline -f count.yaml
If we list our pipelines, we can see the status of them.
!pachctl list pipeline
It looks like our pipeline failed, so let's inspect it and see why.
!pachctl list job --pipeline=count
We can inspect the logs for the pipeline to see what went wrong. (Note there are 3 tries here.)
!pachctl list file count@master
!pachctl get file count@master:/line_count.txt -o ./line_count.txt
cat line_count.txt
Clear all our data out for the next section
# !pachctl delete pipeline --all
# !pachctl delete repo --all
Create a client to connect to the Pachyderm clutser.
print(python_pachyderm.__version__)
client = python_pachyderm.Client.new_from_config()
client.create_repo('data')
with client.commit("data", "master") as commit:
client.put_file_bytes(commit, "data.txt", b"DATA")
client.list_repo()
file_list = client.list_file(('data','master'), '/', include_contents=True)
for f in file_list:

I went to a liberal art college named Earlham in Indiana. My major interest are Buddhism, philosophy and programming. I love traveling. I had lived in Japan for half a year through an exchange program at my college. After I finish my college, I ordained as a Buddhist monk for one year. (In my cliture it is a tradition for boys coming of age to ordain. However, it is not mandatory to be a monk for life haha many people do it for five days) After I finish my monk hood, I work with no pay for my Buddhist monastery for one year to help the temple by organizing meditation course for both Thais n foreigners. Now, i want to learn programming so I am coming San Francisco and perhaps continuing this exciting journey at DBC!
My major interest has always been Buddhism.
if anybody knows a place I could stay or rent please let me know asap!

THAT DARN CAT A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *
"I'm so upset," says Mrs. Flint (Dyan Cannon). "I'd cry, but my tear ducts haven't worked since my last eye job." Her maid has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. This is one of the better pieces of dialog in Disney's remake of THAT DARN CAT, but it, like the rest of the humor in the show, elicits little laughter. The film is so bad that I found myself wishing it had a laugh track. With a laugh track I could at least pretend the movie was funny.
I am careful to warn my readers about films. For this one there is a simple admonition: Get coffee. Unless you imbibe significant amounts of caffeine before entering the theater, you stand a good chance of not being able to stay awake through the many long and dull parts. We had four adults in our party, and two of them kept nodding off.
The original 1965 movie version of THAT DARN CAT starred Hayley Mills and Dean Jones. (Jones, playing Mr. Flint, has a small part in the remake.) It was not the sort of classic film that might suggest that a remake was in order nor did the remake's producer, Robert Simonds, have any fresh ideas for the project. The film appears to have been made solely for a quick profit. Simonds seems to have figured that any Disney film featuring a animal had to be a success. The remake is devoid of imagination and creative energy.
The putative star of the show is a cat named D.C. D.C. is owned by angst-filled teenager Patti Randall (Christina Ricci). Patti explains that she wears all black because that is how her soul feels. Ricci gives a lifeless performance. Perhaps she should have heeded my coffee advice.
D.C. roams the town every night at 8:00, and on one of his excursions he finds the kidnapped maid. The maid gives D.C. her watch on which she has started writing the word "help." Patti takes the watch to the FBI and shows it to Agent Zeke Kelso. This part, which was acted by Jones in the original, is played for broad humor by Doug E. Doug in the remake. Although I hated Doug's performance, I do give him credit for being the only actor to exert any effort. The others are on autopilot.
Even the cat in the picture is given nothing challenging to do. Most scenes of D.C., played by a cat named Elvis, have him running across rooftops. Except for the one scene where he growls, his single expression is as boring as the rest of the picture. I have three cats, and all are more emotive than D.C.
As a cat lover, my favorite scene in the picture an FBI agent ordering D.C. to move. "Go, go, go!" he demands, but the cat is unimpressed. Patti looks the agent sternly in the eye and says, "You're not a cat person, are you?"
Most of the film relies on sight gags that you have seen a million times before. There is a board in the fence that swings around and hits people and animals on the head. People fall down stairs. One character tries walking but finds that he has a trash can stuck on his foot. Etc., ad nauseam.
In a typically unfunny scene Kelso comes to Patti's rescue. "You smell really bad," says Patti. "What happened?" The agent explains, "Got into a fight with a dumpster and lost."
When everything else fails, go for explosions and car chases. Director Bob Spiers, whose previous experience was directing television series, tries to end the show with a bang, but the lengthy chase scene is as repetitive and tiring as the rest of the picture.
The show's biggest conundrum is the script. It has no ingenuity and yet is by the same creative writing team of S. M. Alexander and L. A. Karaszewski who won the Golden Globe award for THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT. They also did the script for ED WOOD. Both of these scripts are wonderful and highly creative. Although I do not understand it, I think there may be a hint in the press kit. Every one associated with the film has a lengthy biography except for them. It just says they live in LA and have been writing together for ten years. No mention is made of their previous pictures. Could it be because they whipped up this screenplay without much thought, and now want to disassociate themselves from the project?
Too often critics are too easy on kids' movies. If the pictures are lifeless but harmless, they give them two stars.  Whereas I do not doubt that many kids will like it, it could and should have been so much better. Why shouldn't we aim a bit higher for our youngsters? Intelligent scripts can be both successful and funny, as the one for TOY STORY proved.
THAT DARN CAT runs 1:39. It is rated PG for some explosions and one mild expletive. It would be fine for most kids although the loud noises might scare some kids under 4. My son Jeffrey and his friend Kerry, both about 8, give the show thumbs up. Their favorite line is the one about coughing up a hairball. I give this pitiful excuse for a movie thumbs down and a single *.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

{{ page.description }}
It gives me great pleasure to announce that my new book Code That Fits in Your Head will be out in September 2021. The subtitle is Heuristics for Software Engineering.
Many regular readers have been expecting me to write a book about functional programming, and while that may also some day happen, this book is neither about object-oriented nor functional programming per se. Rather, it takes a step back and looks at various software development techniques and practices that I've found myself teaching for years. It covers both coding, troubleshooting, software design, team work, refactoring, and architecture.
The target audience is all the hard-working enterprise developers in our industry. I estimate that there's great overlap with the general readership of this blog. In other words, if you find this blog useful, I hope that you'll also find the book useful.
As the title suggests, the theme is working effectively with code in a way that acknowledges the limitations of the human brain. This is a theme I've already explored in my Humane Code video, but in the book I expand the scope.
I've structured the book around a realistic sample application. You'll see how to bootstrap a code base, but also how to work effectively with existing code. Along with the book, you'll get access to a complete Git repository with more than 500 commits and more than 6,000 lines of lovingly crafted code.
While I was developing the sample code, I solved many interesting problems. The best and most universal examples I used in the book, but many didn't make the cut. The book aims broadly at programmers comfortable with a C-based programming language: Java, C#, JavaScript, C++, and so on. Some of the problems I solved along the way were specific to .NET, so I found them a poor fit for the book. I didn't want these great lessons to go to waste, so instead I've been blogging about them.
These are the articles based on the code base from the book:
That the above list represents the outtakes from the book's example code base should give you an idea of the richness of it.
I may add to the list in the future if I write more articles that use the book's example code base.
A decade after my first book, I've finally written a completely new book. Over the years, I had a few false starts. This book wasn't the book I thought that I'd be writing if you'd asked me five years ago, but when it finally dawned on me that the topic ought to be Code That Fits in Your Head: Heuristics for Software Engineering, the book almost wrote itself.
This one is for all the software developers out there who aspire to improve their practical skills.
Comments
When will the book be available for pre-purchase in Europe/Denmark? Looking forward to reading it!
Eric, thank you for writing. The book has already made its way to amazon.de and amazon.fr. On the other hand, it seems to be available neither on amazon.co.uk nor amazon.se.
Granted, it doesn't look as though you can pre-order on those two sites yet.
If you wish to buy the book directly in Denmark, I think that your best bet is to contact the book store of your preference and ask if and when they're going to carry it.
When and how to offer a book for sale is ultimately the purview of book sellers, so not something I can accurately answer. That said, you can already today pre-order the book on amazon.com, but it's probably going to cost you a little extra in shipping cost.
I'd expect that when the book is finally published, many of the above sites will also sell it. For what it's worth, the manuscript has been done for months. The book is currently 'in production', being proofed and set. As I understand it, this is a fairly predictable process, so I don't expect significant delays relative to the late September 2021 timeline.
Will it be available as an eBook? Unexpectedly, Google shows no results.
Serg, thank you for writing. Yes, the book will be available as both PDF and for Kindle.
Excellent book! I highly recommend it to new and experienced software developers.


3. Porto
This coastal Portuguese city has all the elements of a world-class travel destination: a striking shoreline, charming architecture and historic sites, plus a one-of-a-kind export – port wine. Nicknamed the City of Bridges, Porto is home to numerous iron bridges including the Dom Luís I Bridge designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel (the mastermind behind the Eiffel Tower). When not admiring the stunning structures, travelers can relax along intimate beaches or sample port wine at historic cellars like Sandeman or Offley.

THE PEOPLE VS.
Whether or not it's successful, the filmmakers deserve every bit of praise for having the guts to make a movie like this, especially in an age where Washington constantly cries foul over Hollywood's depictions of sex and violence. And believe me, THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT has plenty of both.
Following Flynt's (Woody Harrelson) life from juvenile Kentucky moonshiner to Ohio strip joint owner to the multi-millionaire ruler of a publishing empire, the film lays out the facts and doesn't make any judgments. Instead, we are invited to decide for ourselves, as the movie turns around Flynt's almost perpetual run-ins with the law, with anti-porn crusaders like Jerry Falwell and Charles Keating, and folds in Flynt's loving (and kinda sick) relationship with his wife Althea (Courtney Love).
The biggest surprise in FLYNT is a five-star performance by Harrelson.  Edward Norton also redeems himself from the boneheaded PRIMAL FEAR, playing Flynt's long-suffering attorney Isaacman. Again, another pleasant surprise.
But what truly baffles me is how Harrelson's finest hour is being overshadowed in the press by the performance of Courtney Love, who is undoubtedly one of the worst actresses I've ever seen, even in a role that was custom-made for her meager talents. That Love is perfectly credible as a stripper/drug addict is no surprise; it's her credibility as an actress (i.e. when she opens her mouth) that is more difficult to swallow, and it is her laughable performance that almost manages to topple FLYNT from greatness. I can only assume that people are confusing acting ability with a good makeup job.
LARRY FLYNT is not particularly well-written, glossing over a ton of details, often favoring shock value to storytelling. Considering this is the life of Larry Flynt, you can't really fault the writers for this, but the linear plot progression often feels incidental to the rest of the picture. Still, Flynt's story is compelling enough to provide its own momentum, and with Milos Forman (AMADEUS) behind the camera, it does.
As to whether Flynt is a crusader for freedom or the Anti-Christ, you'll have to draw your own conclusion. In the meantime, here's something to think about: Why is the movie called THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT when the big case in the film is Flynt vs. Falwell? Discuss amongst yourselves.

A pawn is a short-term secured loan, usually made to someone with a low or no credit score. In a pawn, the borrower brings a valuable object (usually something small, like jewelry or electronics) to a pawn shop. The pawnbroker pays them some percentage of the value of the item, generally less than half. The borrower must then repay the amount, plus interest. If the borrower doesn't pay the money back, the pawnbroker can sell their item to recoup their investment.

Xiaomi to unveil a cheaper Mi Band 3i on November 21
by IvanXiaomi has a new fitness band ready for announcement. The maker posted a teaser on Twitter to promote its RunWithMi marathon with the words "Good thiiings come to those who run", which points to the gadget being called the Mi Band 3i. The marathon is in Bangalore on December 1 and Xiaomi will give finishers a free Mi Band 3i as a reward.
It's not clear what specs and features the Mi Band 3i will have but it will likely sit between the INR 1800 Mi Band 3 and the INR 2300 Mi Band 4.
The Mi Band 4 added a bigger color AMOLED screen and Bluetooth 5.0 over the Mi Band 3, which doesn't leave a lot of room for hardware improvements for a cheaper gadget. Well know in two days.
