Besieged A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1999 Marty Mapes
**** (out of 4) BESIEGED is elegantly structured and concisely told. Based on a short story by James Lasdun, it has the feel of a folk tale. The setting is modern, but the characters and their motivations are timeless and cross-cultural.
Before I continue, let me say that if you're interested already, go see BESIEGED before reading this or any other reviews. It's not that the movie centers around a surprise; it's that the movie's structure and pace are very part of what's best about it. Knowing too much beforehand might diminish their impact. Forgive me if the rest of the review is a little vague as I try not to spoil anything.
Shandurai (Thandie Newton) is a medical student who earns her keep as a live-in maid. Originally from Africa (from an unspecified military dictatorship), she is now in Rome.
Her employer is Mr. Kinsky (David Thewlis), a reclusive English pianist who rarely goes out and only teaches a few students. He lives alone (except for Shandurai) in a rich, multistory apartment left to him by his aunt. Antique statues, tapestries, and paintings adorn his lonely home. Amid all the beautiful objects, only the black lacquer grand piano is loved.
BESIEGED'S setup is subtle. It is elegantly arranged so that after about 15 minutes, all the introductory shots and scenes -- from Africa and from Rome -- click into place. More exposition might have answered some questions sooner, but Bertolucci's introduction is cleaner, more succinct, and more forceful.
In this first part, there is an amazing lack of dialogue. Bertolucci sets the scene without explaining it for the camera. Except for some incidental dialogue in Africa, nothing is said until Mr. Kinsky abruptly professes his love for Shandurai.
Kinsky's announcement is sudden and jarring, both to Shandurai and to the audience. Usually a filmmaker lets you know right away whether a screen couple will end up together or not. But at this point, the characters have barely been introduced, and they have hardly spoken to each other. The first words they share shouldn't be a desperate proposal of marriage. When Kinsky says he's never felt this way before, it is easy to believe him. His reclusive lifestyle seems to have deprived him of the emotional maturity and experience that would have helped him control his feelings.
Obviously, Shandurai rebuffs him. And to clearly draw the line for Mr. Kinsky, she tells him that she is married; her husband is an African prison. Bertolucci captures the awkward moment perfectly, using handheld camera, slow motion, and jump cuts. (In fact he uses these techniques throughout the movie to highlight or flit past a moment.) Soon enough, the moment passes and the two never speak of the incident again.
But the words have been spoken and the can't be called back. Shandurai tries to forget them by looking for another living situation and immersing herself in school. Mr. Kinsky is the perfect gentleman, apologizing once, then acting as though the embarrassing exchange is completely behind them.
While Shandurai studies, Mr. Kinsky starts frequenting the African churches. Soon, small things start disappearing from Mr. Kinsky's apartment, to the surprise of Shandurai. Very slowly, very gradually, his apartment becomes sparser and sparser. Life goes on, but the opulent setting is becoming more and more humble. Kinsky never explains where the rich adornments go, and Shandurai is afraid to ask.
Our suspicions (and Shandurai's hopes) are confirmed when she discovers a letter in his wastebasket from her country's government in Africa....
The story of sacrifice is very simple. So simple, in fact, that it almost sounds like a fairy tale -- like a story once told around campfires to extended families.
In fact, BESIEGED features an African storyteller. He exists outside of the story but appears on-camera at key moments from Shandurai's life in Africa. Perhaps he is the director's shadow, because with BESIEGED, Bertolucci proves himself a great storyteller.
Bertolucci uses the medium of film to its fullest extent. He slows time when a moment has weight, and skims through it when a moment is fleeting. He avoids unnecessary dialogue and SHOWS, rather than TELLS, when possible. He uses editing to concisely compress time, and to draw thematic parallels between scenes.
The use of music in this film is wonderful. Rich African rhythms and harmonies contrast with the luxurious beauty of Kinsky's solo piano pieces. The musical contrast echoes the differences between the two main characters. (It's interesting to note that Kinsky's music takes on more rhythm and life after he visits the African church.) A single jazz tune in the middle -- "My Favorite Things," appropriately enough -- bridges the two styles of music and the two halves of the film.
Finally, and most importantly, Bertolucci keeps the actors in an emotional middle ground, rather than locking them into a strong, fully-explained passion. This leaves room to interpret words or deeds in different ways. Does Kinsky love Shandurai or is he merely infatuated? Does he hope to make her happy or does he hope to win her love? Does she love him, or is she merely grateful? Different answers could leave viewers with completely different ideas about what the movie was about.
That's not to say that Bertolucci was being vague. Rather, he was acknowledging that when it comes to human behavior, there is usually no single, identifiable motivation.

Learn to focus
One of my code mentors always put emphasis on the words “focus on one thing”. These words still echo in my mind daily. Focusing on one Thing™ and doing it until it’s done makes you perform the task faster and better. Also the satisfaction you get after completing a Thing™ is much higher.
During my day job I have to be organized. I’m a programmer I can build houses from the bottom up in my mind. With garages and a tree house next to it. But my gift of having ADD sometimes (read: a lot) prevents me finishing stuff the same day due to distractions - internet, emails, calls, messages, links to dancing cats (“Oh it’s sooo cute - and there is another one and another and another!“ <click><click><click>).
My ADD manifests itself everyday in misplacing bike keys and having to go through every pocket, while on my way to work walking back to my house checking to see if I closed the door because I was doing something else at the same time, overdue bills including fines because I forgot to pay them on time, going to the supermarket with a list in my head and coming back with completely different items, not knowing what item on my todo list is more important than that idea I just had and following that for a while. And I can go on for a while. The list is endless.
Thankfully over the years I learned to switch rather fast between distractions to get back on track. Or rather I can identify the distraction and not get sucked into a void that can last for hours.
With this post i’d like to share some of the techniques I use at work, on a daily basis, to get stuff done are:
- Notifications.  No vibration, no popups, no nothing. The only thing I let slip through the cracks are my girlfriends texts - since those are important. Apple put this really handy function on their devices, called ‘Do not disturb’. Both Mac and iPhones support this.
- Music. Baroque, Classical, Electro (as monotonous as possible). These blocks out my active thoughts allowing me to focus. Lately I’ve been listening a lot on SoundCloud.
- Headphones, even without music. Co-workers see this and make the assumption you are listening to music.
- Pomodoro timer. I use Tomighty. I work in chunks of 25 or 50 minutes to focus on one thing only. Want to get started with Pomodoro?
- Notes. My sweet Notes, what would I do without you? Or where would my notes go?
- Wunderlist. I’ve tried a lot of todo apps, but nothing seems to fit my needs. My personal winners is Wunderlist (mostly because it syncs all of my devices)
- Moving. I tend to move a lot when programming, my head, fingers and hands when not typing. Did not figure out why exactly but it helps me process information. This moving is only while programming, with everyday stuff I don’t have this.
- Meditation. Helps me a lot. And brings back my mind when it ‘wanders’. 3 times a week about 10-30 minutes depending on how much time I’m willing to create for it.
- Read. Actually reading on how your brain works, the way how patterns are formed and mapping that on how that applies to yourself, helped me enormously. Learning to see/recognize distractions and acting on them as they happen has probably been my biggest fight, but also with the biggest reward.
- Teach - Explaining the thing you know to someone who doesn’t. When explaining stuff, it works better for the receiver if you tell a focused story. So you need to think about what you are saying to get the message across.
- Write - A book, blog, stories, notes, whatever. And practice doing so. Again this helps you focus and structure your thoughts.
The last two helped me enormously since they both require to get organized first, or at least organize my thoughts before I write them down of vocalize them. Or actually I should say; it forces me to stop and think about it before externalizing it. And that is, for me, a good thing.
Repeat after me: From now on I will only focus on starting and finishing one task at a time.
Hopefully this list can help or inspire you to take action in your life as well.

CURLMOPT_PIPELINING explained
NAME
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING - enable HTTP pipelining and multiplexing
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING, long bitmask);
DESCRIPTION
Pass in the bitmask parameter to instruct libcurl to enable HTTP pipelining and/or HTTP/2 multiplexing for this multi handle.
When enabled, libcurl will attempt to use those protocol features when doing parallel requests to the same hosts.
For pipelining, this means that if you add a second request that can use an already existing connection, the second request will be "piped" on the same connection rather than being executed in parallel.
For multiplexing, this means that follow-up requests can re-use an existing connection and send the new request multiplexed over that at the same time as other transfers are already using that single connection.
There are several other related options that are interesting to tweak and adjust to alter how libcurl spreads out requests on different connections or not etc.
Before 7.43.0, this option was set to 1 and 0 to enable and disable HTTP/1.1 pipelining.
Starting in 7.43.0, bitmask's second bit also has a meaning, and you can ask for pipelining and multiplexing independently of each other by toggling the correct bits.
Default, which means doing no attempts at pipelining or multiplexing.
If this bit is set, libcurl will try to pipeline HTTP/1.1 requests on connections that are already established and in use to hosts.
This bit is deprecated and has no effect since version 7.62.0.
If this bit is set, libcurl will try to multiplex the new transfer over an existing connection if possible. This requires HTTP/2.
DEFAULT
Since 7.62.0, CURLPIPE_MULTIPLEXbP is enabled by default.
Before that, default was CURLPIPE_NOTHING. Added in 7.16.0. Multiplex support bit added in 7.43.0. Returns CURLM_OK if the option is supported, and CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL, CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE, CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS, CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS, CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS

I started this blog as an online notes for my day-to-day Linux admin activity and to share knowledge with people who are interested in Linux and those who are in the admin field


The Crypto Photos project logo:
The Crypto Photos project website: http://crypto.photos
The explosive emergence of decentralized and code/sb-admin-2ributed technologies (otherwise known as "blockchain" technology) has given way to a flood of new talent entering the ecosystem. As a result, new industry-specific apps and programs are being released on a daily basis. One of the most common needs of the developers is to simply have access to an exhaustive library of cryptocurrency asset icons...
It is for this reason that the Crypto Photos project aspires to be the most complete collection of cryptocurrency asset icons on the internet!
All source photos are formatted as .PNG and are sized at exactly 300x300 px
All photos displayed on the project website are rendered at 150x150 px
To view all asset icons beginning with a specific letter of the alphabet, simply navigate to the index of that letter by using the URL format below:
http://crypto.photos/x
where "x" is the letter of the alphabet that you wish to search.
To vew all asset icons which begin with non-letter characters, navigate to the following URL:
http://crypto.photos/num
To link directly to a specific icon use the following format:
http://crypto.icon/x/xyz.png
where "x" is the first letter of the asset symbol, and "xyz" is the lowercase asset symbol. Be sure to add the file type (.png) onto the end.
In the event that there are duplicate ticker symbols, numbers starting from "1" will be appended to the end of the icon symbol in the url.
For example:
http://crypto.icon/x/xyz1.png
Numbers are implemented according to token creation date.

We all love the convenient interface of React Hooks like useState
and useEffect
. We’ll also be working with useReducer
quite a bit later on in this unit. But did you realize you can also create your own hooks?
Sometimes when you’re building an app, you’ll come up with a clever implementation that is helpful in a lot of different contexts rather than just in the component you’re working on at the moment! You can actually just write your own hook to extend the functionality of the hooks built into React. Just like a helper function you’d write to share some functionality across your app, but with React flavor.
Sounds a bit complicated, but it’s actually super easy in practice. From the React docs: > A custom Hook is a JavaScript function whose name starts with ”use” and that may call other Hooks.
Here are some examples of real custom hooks you’ll see in the wild: * useLocalStorage: just like useState, but persist the values to localStorage in case a session is interrupted (we’ll build a version of this today) * useHistory and useParams: nice custom hooks included in React Router for accessing url params and browser history * useSpeechSynthesis: easy text-to-sound synthesis for your React app (part of react-speech-kit
)
When we talk about “stateful logic” and “non-visual behavior” in React, we’re simply referring to all of the logic in a component other than the basics. These are all part of the “stateful logic” in a component: * Updating state * Handling form inputs * Responding to events
Rendering something to the DOM is an example of basic behavior that is not considered “stateful logic”. We can write a simple function component that acts as a templating engine, taking a few inputs and formatting them to look nice on the page. A component like that has no “stateful logic”.
On a high level, we can simply think about stateful logic as the stuff we do with useState
and non-visual behavior as the stuff we do with useEffect
.
(No class components in this lecture, but the same ideas apply there too! In class components, your stateful logic will include this.setState
calls, and non-visual behavior like event listeners and api calls will happen in the lifecycle methods.)
We’ve had a lot of experience building form handlers with React, and forms are one of the most common pieces of reusable UI in any application.
What if we could abstract the entirety of the form handling logic into a helper function? That’s the idea behind the custom hook useForm
in today’s guided project. The most clever bit of logic has to do with the handleChanges
function. We’re used to writing something like this:
That works just fine if we write a new change handler for every single form field, but that gets messy very quickly as the form grows! So we write a single change handler that works for every field, with the help of the “name”
attribute on each text input. This way, your change handler knows not only the value but which form field the value came from. So we can now store all the form fields as keys in an object and update the key for the field that’s been changed:
The magic behind this clever one-liner is [e.target.name]
, a “computed property name” to dynamically choose which key to write the new value to. As long as the name
of each form field matches up to a key in the values
object, this single line of code effectively manages state for the entire form, with any number of fields! Pretty cool. Check the link on computed property names below for more info if you’re curious.
In today’s guided project we’ll be persisting data to the browser to improve the user experience. One very straightforward way to do this is with the localStorage api, which basically just saves key/value pairs locally in the browser. Here’s localStorage
in a nutshell:
Along with localStorage.removeItem
and localStorage.clear()
for cleanup, that’s basically the entire API.
Local Storage is easy to work with, and the only tricky part is remembering to stringify and parse when working with objects. In a nutshell: * localStorage can store primitive types and strings, but it doesn’t directly store objects, arrays, or other advanced data structures. * JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), the language of the web that we use to communicate with API’s and send objects and arrays back and forth, is just a form of text, aka a string! * So to store complex data structures in localStorage, we JSON.stringify
them * and after retrieving a JSON string from localStorage, we turn it back into data with JSON.parse
So, putting it all together, here’s a common workflow:
var josh = {username: 'joshjacobson', favoriteColor: 'blue'};
localStorage.setItem('signupFormValues', JSON.stringify(josh));
// new browsing session, retrieving saved value:
var savedJosh = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('signupFormValues')); // equal to the original object
Today we’ll be “composing” functions and building our own custom hooks. Pretty trendy sounding, but what does function composition really mean?
In building custom hooks, we’re writing functions that accept functions as their inputs and also return other functions as outputs. “Functional programming” is a whole paradigm (just like object-oriented programming and other styles) but on a basic level it’s really just about this clever way of building useful abstractions by allowing functions to receive, call, and return other functions.
This is all possible because functions are treated as “first-class objects” in JavaScript, meaning that they can be passed around as arguments, assigned to variables, and returned by other functions. Not every programming language is like this! It’s a helpful feature of JavaScript that functions are just another type of object inheriting from the same Object prototype.
All of this allows for some pretty powerful programming paradigms, many of which we’ve already seen in React. So if “functional programming” and “function composition” sound overly complex just realize that you’ve already worked with these paradigms before and you’ll only continue to get more and more comfortable with it as we explore advanced techniques in React.
(Side note: the λ calculus is a mathematical system underpinning functional programming. Perhaps this is how Lambda School got its name?)

Neymar in Madrid, invited by Gerard Pique
The Brazilian and Jordi Alba were present at Pique's tennis tournament
by David BotiNeymar was an unexpected protagonist at the Davis Cup as Spain played Russia in Gerard Pique’s tournament. The PSG winger was invited by former Barcelona team-mate Pique to the tournament and he watched Rafa Nadal face Karen Khachanov at the Caja Magica.
The former Barcelona player watched from a VIP booth along with various friends and Pique.
Neymar is enjoying the international break as he finishes his recovery from injury, hanging out with his ‘Toiss’ buddies Gilmar and Gabriel.
Barcelona left back Jordi Alba was another present at the clash between Spain and Russia.


Genetics of Drug Response
Like many traits, clinical and otherwise, response to various drugs often has a significant genetic component.
Traditional GWAS methods can be used to discover these variants, searching for associations between genotypes and efficacy of drugs.
In this exercise, you can explore variants that may alter your response to prescription drugs.
In the "common" pharmacogenomic variant section, you can intersect your genetic profile with
curated pharmacogenomic annotations, courtesy of Michelle Carillo and the PharmGKB team.
The description provided is specific to your genotype at each locus
and the "evidence level" is a measure of confidence in the annotation, based on evidence from the literature
(and corresponds to the evidence level at PharmGKB).
Additional annotations can be found at
PharmGKB.
In the "rare" variant section, data for all rare variants that are
below the selected allele freqeuncy threshold (but found in dbSNP)
and in a gene that has a known interaction with a drug.
These effect of variants is then predicted using PolyPhen, which assigns a "score" based on various properties of the variant
(described
here).
This score is then converted to a designation of "benign," "possibly damaging," or "probably damaging."
This is simply a prediction of the variant for the function of the gene, and may not have any relation to the gene's relationship with the drug.
Note that these annotations (curated or predicted) are not intended as diagnoses.
They are based on published scientific evidence, but have not been evaluated by the FDA for clinical decision making.
While variants may alter your probability for a reaction to a drug (intended or adverse event),
no single variant or combination of variants can definitively predict your pharmacogenomic response.
The disclaimers from
PharmGKB apply to the information on this website.


Tutorial - Working with Linux
Working with Linux
Tips & Tricks
You can use clear
to clear the terminal if it gets filled up with too many commands.
The tab
key is used for autocomplete. For example, type cd Doc
and hit
tab
and the terminal will autocomplete cd Documents
.
Ctrl+C
can be used to stop a command in terminal safely.
If that doesn't stop the command, Ctrl+Z
can be used to force stop it.
You can exit from the terminal by using the exit
command.
You can power off or reboot the computer by using the commands sudo halt
and sudo
reboot
.
Login to Docker
docker ps
will give you a list of your docker containers.
docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME /bin/bash
will give you a bash shell in the container.
docker exec -it CONTAINER_NAME COMMAND
will execute the COMMAND in the container.
Basic Linux Commands
pwd
When you first open the terminal, you are in the home directory of your user. To know which directory you
are in, you can use the pwd
command. It gives us the absolute path, which means the path that
starts from the root. The root is the base of the Linux file system. It is denoted by a forward slash
/
. The user directory is usually something like /home/username
.
ls
Use the ls
command to know what files are in the directory you are in. You can see all the
hidden files by using the command ls -a
.
cd
Use the cd
command to go to a directory. For example, if you are in the home directory, and you
want to go to the Downloads directory, you type cd Downloads
. Remember, this command
is case sensitive, so you have to type in the name of the directory exactly as it is.
But what if there's a space? Imagine you have a directory named Raspberry Pi
. In this case,
when you type cd Raspberry Pi
, the shell will take the second argument Pi
of the
command as a different one, so you will get an error saying that the directory does not exist. Here, you
must use an escape character - the backward slash \
. The command would look like cd
Raspberry\ Pi
.
If you just type cd
and press enter, it takes you to the home directory. To go up one level
to the parent directory, you can type cd ..
. The two dots represent the parent directory.
mkdir & rmdir
Use the mkdir
command to create a directory. For example, if you want to make a
directory called DIY
, type mkdir DIY
. Remember, if you want to create a
directory named DIY Hacking
, then you need to escape the space character using a backslash
\
. The command would be mkdir DIY\ Hacking
.
Use rmdir
to delete a directory. rmdir
can only be used to delete an empty
directory. To delete a directory containing files, use rm
.
rm
Use the rm
command to delete files and directories. Use rm -r
to delete a
directory. This deletes the directory and the files it contains.
touch
The touch
command is used to create a file. It can be anything, from an empty txt file to an
empty zip file.
For example, touch new.txt
.
man & COMMAND --help
To learn more about a command and how to use it, use man COMMAND
. This shows the manual pages
of the command. For example, man cd
shows the manual pages of the cd command. Typing in the
command name and the argument --help
will show how the command can be used.
cp
Use cp
command to copy files through the command line. It takes two arguments: The first is the
location of the file to be copied, the second is where to copy.
mv
Use mv
to move files through the command line. We can also use the mv command to rename a file.
For example, if we want to rename the file text
to new
, we can use mv text
new
. It takes the two arguments, just like the cp
command.
locate
The locate
command is used to locate a file in a Linux system, just like the search command in
Windows. This command is useful when you don't know where a file is saved or the actual name of the file.
Using the -i
argument with the command tells it to ignore case. So, if you want a file that has
the word hello
, it gives the list of all the files in your Linux system containing the word
hello
when you type in locate -i hello
. If you remember two words, you can
separate them using an asterisk *
. For example, to locate a file containing the words
hello
and this
, you can use the command locate -i *hello*this
.


This is the partial for sign in.

Summary
Rich Internet Applications (RIA) have adopted Adobe's crossdomain.xml policy files to allow for controlled cross domain access to data and service consumption using technologies such as Oracle Java, Silverlight, and Adobe Flash. Therefore, a domain can grant remote access to its services from a different domain. However, often the policy files that describe the access restrictions are poorly configured. Poor configuration of the policy files enables Cross-site Request Forgery attacks, and may allow third parties to access sensitive data meant for the user.
What are cross-domain policy files?
A cross-domain policy file specifies the permissions that a web client such as Java, Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, etc. use to access data across different domains. For Silverlight, Microsoft adopted a subset of the Adobe's crossdomain.xml, and additionally created it's own cross-domain policy file: clientaccesspolicy.xml.
Whenever a web client detects that a resource has to be requested from other domain, it will first look for a policy file in the target domain to determine if performing cross-domain requests, including headers, and socket-based connections are allowed.
Master policy files are located at the domain's root. A client may be instructed to load a different policy file but it will always check the master policy file first to ensure that the master policy file permits the requested policy file.
Crossdomain.xml vs. Clientaccesspolicy.xml
Most RIA applications support crossdomain.xml. However in the case of Silverlight, it will only work if the crossdomain.xml specifies that access is allowed from any domain. For more granular control with Silverlight, clientaccesspolicy.xml must be used.
Policy files grant several types of permissions:
- Accepted policy files (Master policy files can disable or restrict specific policy files)
- Sockets permissions
- Header permissions
- HTTP/HTTPS access permissions
- Allowing access based on cryptographic credentials
An example of an overly permissive policy file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
How can cross domain policy files be abused? - Overly permissive cross-domain policies.
- Generating server responses that may be treated as cross-domain policy files.
- Using file upload functionality to upload files that may be treated as cross-domain policy files.
Impact of abusing cross-domain access - Defeat CSRF protections.
- Read data restricted or otherwise protected by cross-origin policies.
How to Test
Testing for RIA policy files weakness:
To test for RIA policy file weakness the tester should try to retrieve the policy files crossdomain.xml and clientaccesspolicy.xml from the application's root, and from every folder found.
For example, if the application's URL is http://www.owasp.org, the tester should try to download the files http://www.owasp.org/crossdomain.xml and http://www.owasp.org/clientaccesspolicy.xml.
After retrieving all the policy files, the permissions allowed should be be checked under the least privilege principle. Requests should only come from the domains, ports, or protocols that are necessary. Overly permissive policies should be avoided. Policies with "*" in them should be closely examined.
Example:
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Result Expected:
- A list of policy files found.
- A list of weak settings in the policies.

During the wedding ceremony, Kitty thinks to herself 'all this cannot be otherwise.'
This is particularly interesting, as it is both an embrace and rejection of her previous attitude toward society's norms and mores.
Whereas in the past she felt pressured into a negative situation by society, now she feels embraced by society as it encourages her love.
If the situation is examined more closely, however, one finds that Kitty doesn't actually have much choice in the matter.
While she does love Levin, she nearly died the last time she rejected a marriage proposal.
This is pointed out during dinner before the couple's game of secretaire. Levin is claiming that 'a girl who did not get married could find feminine work for herself in her family,'
but Kitty disagrees, saying 'a girl can be in such a position that she cannot enter a family without humiliation.'
Kitty is no longer naive; she is aware that if she rejects another proposal she will find herself in the same situation as last time, perhaps even worse.
Levin believes that his and Kitty's love is above the influence of society's rules and expectations, but he is wrong.
Kitty does love Levin—but she has no other choice.

--- layout: post title: Inanimate February tags: - Photography status: publish type: post published: true meta: _edit_last: "1" ---
Another month into the year means that many more days of 365 pictures. February was filled with rainy days. It's a fact that can be evidenced by the large number of shots of (mostly) inanimate household objects. The limited opportunities for shooting excursions often challenged me to find interesting material in my local environment.
There was also ample occasion for pushing my post processing knowledge as well as continuing to develop my skills behind the lens. Humdrum household images can be turned into eye catching artistic works with a few adjustments in the digital darkroom. As I learn more about the various develop settings in Lightroom, I find myself making a wider range of specific adjustments to my raw images and relying less on the built-in presets.
I also continue to look for additional ways to challenge and develop my shooting skills. One such approach has been to spend more time with different lenses. My 24-70mm glass is my daily workhorse. It provides the 50mm sweet spot with a good range of zoom flexibility on either side. As such, it's easy to always think of composing shots in that focal range. Spending a few days with just a telephoto lens is a great way to force yourself to rethink your shots and look for compositions you might not have otherwise considered.

Animation! An art form that has been on a continuing ebb and flow in motion picture history. Once solely the domain of Walt Disney, pen and ink drawings have come back to many studios but not always with the same success. With the release of Warner Bothers' "THE IRON GIANT", we have a chance to view a solid piece of work that rivals anything done by the former.
The year is 1957, and all of American is aware and watching as Sputnik circles the globe. But one night a meteorite bursts through our atmosphere, crashing into the ocean off the coast of Maine. Earl Stutz (voiced by M. Emmet Walsh) is fighting to stay afloat in his fishing boat as a rough storm tosses him. Searching frantically for the lighthouse, he crashes into a huge monolith. Looking up he sees something with two burning searchlights. Knocked of his boat by a crashing wave, the old man is thrown into the sea. He wakens on the rocks just below the lighthouse.
Hogarth Hughes is a nine-year-old boy, being raised by his single Mother, Annie (Jennifer Aniston). Hogarth loves monster movies and comic (as most any kid does), and is giving to telling tall tales to avoid punishments for poor judgment. One night while watching a scary movie on television (against his Mother's wishes), he hears a noise from outside. Suddenly the reception of the television goes out. Hogarth runs to his bedroom, and looking out the window discovers that the antenna has been broken off. He then sees large footprints leading from his house into the forest. Thinking that an invasion from outer space has begun, Hogarth grabs up his Space Cadet regalia and sets forth in search of the invader.
Hogarth stumbles through the woods, following the trail of broken trees to an electrical station. As he approaches, the ground starts to rumble, trembling with heavy blows. Suddenly a huge 100 foot metallic man appears above the trees. Hogarth runs, just avoiding being crushed by the giant's feet. The steel behemoth stares down at the power station, eating first the security fence and then trying to eat one of the power conduits. Electricity bolts out from all directions. The giant falls back against the high-tension lines, becoming entangled. The surge of electricity causes the giant to shake and shudder in anguish. Hogarth cowers as the giant smokes and burns in the electrical storm. Finally, feeling some sense of remorse, runs to the main cut off switch and pulls the circuit closed. The giant falls back unconscious, crashing to the ground. Hogarth, frightened and amazed runs home to tell his Mother. Meeting her at the edge of the forest, she scolds the boy for leaving home so late at night and takes no heed of his tall tale.
The next morning, Hogarth returns to the forest in an effort to photograph the giant. Waiting for long hours, sleep overcomes him. Finally Hogarth wakens and finds that his bait (a sheet of corrugated steel) is missing. He turns to leave and discovers the sheet of steel behind him. He slowly raises his gaze to see the Iron Giant standing above him. Laid out nearby is the cut off switch from the power plant. Hogarth realizes that the Giant understands the boy had rescued him. Hogarth now has visions of being a super hero, and a secret friendship is begun. And it's a secret that doesn't remain one for very long.
Director Brad Bird, who cut his teeth directing episodes of 'The Simpson' and 'King of the Hill' has produced one of the most enjoyable 'boys tales' ever to grace the screen. His attention to detail is wondrously complete. The character designs are both charming and engaging to a degree that we haven't seen since the classic shorts by Chuck Jones. In fact the whole design of the film could be seen as a loving tribute to the style and wit of Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett. The script by Bird and Tim McCanlies is rich in both character and subtext. There is an honest to goodness feel of the 1950's in this film that it almost seems to be a product of that era and not a current production. That is not to say that the animation is stilted or of poor quality. On the contrary, the animation of "The Iron Giant" is some of the best animation we've ever seen outside of the Disney Studios. The movements of all of the characters is finely detailed and beautifully controlled, but never in a way that makes one forget they are watching animation. The idea of realistic movement is not the point here. But great character animation and detail to expressions and design are. The inclusion of Computer animation is so seamless as to be (at times) confused with the traditional methods. A wonderful and charming alliance or technology and art.
The cast assembled for the voices of the characters are all remarkable deft at portraying they're parts. Most effective are Harry Connick Jr. as the beatnik / junkyard artist Dean McCoppin. His delivery of his lines is so on target that you forget the actor and absorb the character he portrays. Kudos as well to Christopher McDonald as Government Agent Kent Mansley, a performance as manic and inspired as anything done by Mel Blanc. And too much cannot be said about the performance of Eli Marienthal as Hogarth Hughes. The tone and nuance of this performance is so on key that if the Academy ever decides to dedicates an award to voice actors, Mr. Marienthal should surely be up for a nomination.
Based on the marvelous Children's Book "The Iron Giant" by the late Ted Hughes, Brad Bird's adaptation is a rich and enthralling film. Full of rich animation and characterization, along with strong moral questions about friendship and identity. And there is so much depth to the film that adults can take away as much, if not more from the viewing, as any child can. Absolutely one of the summer's best surprises, as well as one of this years best films.
On a scale of one to five, 'The Iron Giant' rates full five stars. A wonderful film that will continue to entertain and enchant both young and old alike, for years to come. Absolutely, a Classic!

Kremlin reviews pardon request from Norwegian jailed for espionage
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday it had received a formal pardon request from Frode Berg, a Norwegian national jailed in Russia for espionage, and that it would review the request in line with normal procedures.
Berg, a 63-year-old retired former guard on the Norwegian-Russian border, was detained in Moscow in December 2017 and tried behind closed doors this month. He pleaded not guilty to charges of spying on behalf of Norway.

The kids that play, in the spring dusk
a faraway yell;
The wind that words, through roses' lips,
Whispers and stays.
The open windows that breath the hours,
My empty room,
A train coming from an unknown land,
My lost dreams.
Bells that fade away,
And the night that keeps falling on the city,
On people's faces,
On the sky's mirror,
Now on my whole life.

婚姻代表了我们与基督同在的意义
We are all gathered to celebrate the joy of 2 persons making a lifelong commitment to each other as H & W. On this wedding day, the happiest person in this room is e Bride & e Bridegroom & their parents & relatives too. So we r here to share their joy.
今天我们聚集在一起，是为了祝贺这对新人终成眷属。在这个婚礼的殿堂里，最幸福的人是新娘和新郎和他们的父母。我们所有的亲朋好友，今天到来是为例祝福，分享这份喜乐的请举手！谢谢！
Some couples before their wedding, we know they are heading for some serious trouble because they have not address e issues tt every couple will faced when they live together. Every want perfection … a perfect wedding, a perfect spouse, a perfect home & perfect children. On this side of heaven ere is no perfection.., nothing on earth is perfect.
有一些新婚夫妇在婚礼前，我们就知道他们正在走向一条很麻烦的路，因为他们没有解决每对夫妇即将面对的问题，他们希望有一个完美的婚礼，完美的配偶，完美的家庭和完美的孩子。 很可惜，在天堂的这一边是没有完美的，在地球上没有什么是完美的。有一些新婚夫妇在婚礼前，我们就知道他们正在走向一条很麻烦的路，因为他们没有解决每对夫妇即将面对的问题，他们希望有一个完美的婚礼，完美的配偶，完美的家庭和完美的孩子。 很可惜，在天堂的这一边是没有完美的，在地球上没有什么是完美的。
For Jason & Winnie, they will start their new lives together on a strong foundation because they have been thru 6 months PMC course. They have discovered their opposites, they address financial issues, they have learn how to quarrel productively, they have dealt with their own character flaws & they have shared their dreams, passions & weaknesses w each other. Every have discovered who their marriage spouse is so that they won’t get a shock after marriage.
对于Jason＆Winnie来说，他们的新生活是建立在一个坚实的基础上，因为他们已经上了6个月的婚前辅导课程。 他们发现了彼此的不同点，他们学会解决财务问题，他们学会如何有效地吵架，他们也学习看到自己的性格缺陷，同时分享了彼此的梦想，激情和弱点等等。 他们认真的认识对方，可以减少婚后的冲击。
But more importantly, they have made a commitment to one another today to live for each other the rest of their earthly lives. They are committed to work at their marriage life from here on till Jesus comes or till they go on to glory in heaven.
但是最重要的是，他们今天将对彼此承诺，在有生之年，相互扶持直到耶稣再来，将荣耀归于上帝。
Every vows they took before God today is so vital to their marriage life because it is binding upon them for the rest of their lives & when they look back to this day, everyone will remember their vows.
他们今天在神面前所许下的每一个承诺和誓言对于他们的婚姻生活来说是至关重要的，因为它在他们的生命中有约束力。当他们回想起这一天时，每个人都会记得他们取下的誓言。
When times are tough, when there is conflict, they will remember this vows they made today & say I have made a commitment to him so I am going to stick with it & work it out, no matter what, no matter how I feels, no matter how she looks or looks at me, no matter the pressures I face at work or with e finances, I am going to stick with her through thick and thin.
当他们在面对困难时，在冲突时，他们会牢记他们今天所作的承诺，无论我的感觉怎样， 无论对方怎样看我，无论在工作或财务面对什么压力，我都会坚持到底
Eg. So as the years roll by and time takes their toll on them physically and they become old and gray, they will still be committed to each other. When JT becomes wrinkled & bald – W will still be committed to him. When W becomes weak & bent JT will still be committed to her.
例如。 随着时间的老去，不管JT会不会变成秃头像牧师一样，不管W会不会变成驼背，依然守着这份承诺和誓言
This is what the vows and commitment to each other they make to each other means.
这就是他们彼此许下承诺和誓言的意义。
But Marriage is a reflection of what it means when we joined ourselves to Jesus.
婚姻也是我们加入基督教和耶稣在一起的倒影。
The joys, love & commitment that surrounding this occasion today is a reflection of what a person experienced when he/she becomes a Christian.
在爱的承诺底下享受的欢乐，也是当一个人成为基督徒，在神的爱里头时可以感受到的喜乐。
Everyone who is truly born again experience e joy & love that comes from Jesus because our sins are forgiven & we can begin a new life with God as our loving heavenly father. No longer condemned for all the things that we have done wrong but forgiven and loved by the God who made the universe and have shown proof that He loves us.
当我们在耶稣基督的爱里，得到重生，罪得到赦免，我们不必再背负着谴责，我们做过的错误，可以得到赦免。因为他是创造宇宙的神，每一个经历来自耶稣的爱的人，可以开始重新开始，因为神爱世人，他已经先证明了他的爱。
We read that wives are to submit to their husbands as & husbands are to love their wives. The debate is always who is supposed to make the 1st move. Is it the Wife or the Husband? All the Wife will argue that is the Husband. & all the Husband will argue that is the Wife.
我们读到圣经说，妻子要服从丈夫，丈夫要爱他们的妻子。 我们常常辩论，谁该做第一步。 是妻子还是丈夫？ 所有的妻子都会认为应该丈夫先开始。 所有的丈夫争辩，应该妻子先服从。
This problem arise because we are reading what the bible says to the other party... we should read what the bible says to us not to the other party. So the Husband only read the Husband part & not the Wife part & the Wife only read the Wife part not the Husband part.
问题出现了，因为我们都在读圣经对对方说的话......我们应该读圣经对我们而不是向对方说的话。 所以丈夫只需要读丈夫的部分，而不是妻子部分和妻子只读妻子部分而不是丈夫的部分。
If we stop looking at the small dust in our spouse eye & instead address the big log of wood in our own eye is what will make a happy marriage.
如果我们停止看着配偶眼中的灰尘，而是先处理自己的眼睛里的沙粒，我们将走向一个幸福的婚姻。
So don’t worry about what the other party is meant to do. Just do your part 1st & be concerned about your part, don’t focus on what e other party should do or should not do. Get your act in order 1st . The wife submits to the husband because she loves Jesus.
所以，不要担心对方打算做什么。 只要关心你应该做什么或不应该做什么。 妻子服从丈夫，因为你爱耶稣。
Whatever we do for Jesus, we will have great joy. Our heavenly bridegroom is Jesus & He loves the bride unconditionally & sacrificially. The Bride is the people who formed a community to carry out Jesus’ agenda to demonstrate His love and power.
无论我们为耶稣做什么，我们都将得到很大的喜乐。 我们天上的新郎是耶稣，他无条件地爱我们。 我们作为基督徒就是要把神的爱和力量传达给每一个我们身边的人。请你给你旁边的人一个最好的微笑！
Love is a commitment & no matter what we have made of ourselves & no matter how dirty, slimy, vile, horrible we are, our heavenly bridegroom Jesus still loves us.
爱是一种承诺，不管我们做了什么，不管多么脏，多么可怕，我们天上的新郎-耶稣仍然爱我们。
Ere is no place we can be that Jesus’s love can’t reach him. Jesus’s love will reach the deepest pit of sin that we have landed in & pull us out of that terrible place.
世界上没有一个地方，耶稣的爱不能传达。耶稣的爱可以抵达最深的坑，把我们从可怕的地方拉出来。
Friend if you are here today & you have not experience that kind of joy & devoted love, then you should turn to Jesus to experience His forgiveness and love
朋友，你今天在这里不是偶然的，如果你没有体验到这种喜悦和奉献的爱，希望你能体验耶稣的爱和饶恕
You won't be sorry for turning to Jesus…because He is waiting for you with His open arms. Don’t wait any longer because you are coming to the One who will make rivers of refreshing life giving water flow out from u. U are coming to e One who lights up heaven with His presence. you are coming to the One who is called the Good Shepherd & when u to follow JC, He will lead u besides still waters & green pastures & He will restore your souls.
你不会因为相信耶稣而感到遗憾，他正在张开的手臂等着你。 一个能点亮你的生命，让生命的水从你身上源源不绝的流出。 然你看到天堂的曙光。因为耶稣是好的牧羊人，当你跟随主耶稣，他会带领你到有水和绿色的牧场，然你的灵魂得到喜悦和平安。
So let me encourage you to come to Jesus today. You are already in His house & amongst His people. Everyone that belongs to Jesus will welcome you and even all the angels in heaven will rejoice with dancing and singing because you came to Jesus to have your sins forgiven and begin your new life with Jesus.
所以，让我鼓励你今天来到耶稣面前。 你已经在他的家和他的子民之中。 每个属于耶稣的人都会欢迎你，甚至天上的天使都会因为你来到耶稣面前，唱歌跳舞，因为你的罪得到赦免，可以有新的开始。
Now turning back to the marriage, the strength and joys of marriage depends on e killing our ego...
现在回到这个婚礼，要得到婚姻的快乐和力量，首先要放弃我们的自我...
When our ego rules over us, e marriage is in for 1 rough & rocking ride because our ego makes us proud and selfish and insecure and self serving. But when e couple decides to puts down their ego & humble themselves before God & each other, they will have a loving & fulfilling married life.
强烈的自我会使我们自大和自私，没有安全感。所以 当我们决定放下自己，在上帝面前彼此谦虚，就会有一颗充满爱的心和充实的婚姻生活。
Today, everyone who witness this wedding rejoice w JT & W & wished for them to have a fulfilling married life and the way there is to encourage them to put down their own pride and ego
今天，在座的每个人见证了这场婚礼的欢乐，我们衷心的希望JT＆W能有一个充实的婚姻生活方式，鼓励他们放下自我
I remember when JT 1st came to my house as a young 20 year old skinny guy & he is still skinny & W as a young girl who has tremendous talent & little personality of her own. But I saw them growing up & maturing through the difficulties they face in life. They may have taken different routes to maturity but today onwards they decide to go on e same journey & what a blessed ride it would be for both of them.
牧师记得当JT第一次来到他的家，一个20岁年轻的瘦伙子，他现在还是很瘦。W一个年轻的女孩，有着巨大的天赋和个性。 我看到他们的成长和成熟，也经历了生活中的困难。 他们可能采取不同的路线，但今天，他们决定一起去开启一个共同的旅程，这是一件多么令人高兴的事。
JT & W have known each other for a long time and when J decided to take a long and hard look at W, he found what a precious jewel W is – humble, unassuming, gentle and kind woman she is. W look at J & saw a sincere, genuine caring man with such great potential who would go the 2nd, 3rd & even 4th mile to help others.
JT＆W已经认识了很长时间，当J决定仔细地观察W时，他发现一颗珍贵的宝石，W是一个谦逊有礼，温柔和善良的女人。 W仔细地观察J，发现他是一个真诚，有爱心的人，他不介意走第二，第三，甚至第四英里去帮助别人。
And so their love for each other blossoms…and on the 13th Feb early this yr, Jason decided to ask W to marry him at my house & what a wonderful occasion was that.
他们对彼此的爱开花...在今年的2月13日，Jason决定在我家的游泳池，在大家的见证下向W求婚，这是一件多么美好的时刻。
But because they 1st found Jesus & before they found each other and because they decided to give their lives to JC before they give their lives to each another, they will have a wonderful marriage life when they let JC rule over their lives.
因为他们在彼此找到彼此之前找到了耶稣，因为他们将他们的一切交给耶稣，让耶稣为他们做主，所以我相信他们会有一个美好的婚姻生活。
their lives have changed tremendously as they give themselves to JC. They found peace, they had their sins forgiven, they started their new life when they became Christian & they would want all of us here to have e same joy that they found in JC.
他们将自己交给耶稣， 成为基督教，他们找到了平安，他们的罪得到赦免，他们也希望我们所有的人都能在基督的爱里得到同样的喜乐。
They want you also to have the same peace, joy & love that they have found in Jesus …God has rose Jesus from the dead, so that everyone who wants can have a new life. This miracle of new life can b yours too because of JC. So today start your new life.. just as JT & W will start their new life today as Husband & Wife…
他们也希望你也有同样的平安，喜乐和爱，他们在耶稣里找到了......上帝已经使耶稣从死里复活，让每个相信的人都能有一个新的生命。 今天就开始新的生活..JT＆W作为丈夫和妻子，今天也将开始他们新的生活...
Every will enter into a new phrase of their life that is build on friendship, giving & care. This new phrase of life as Husband & Wife will mature them & enrich their lives. Everyone have matured emotionally & spiritually & now they will grow together as 1… just as e bible taught us man shall live father & mom & cleave to his wife & e 2 shall become 1 flesh… 1 in unity in both body & soul.
每一个人在人生的不同阶段，都会开始新的生活。作为丈夫和妻子是人生的新里程碑，新的生活方式将使他们更成熟，和一起成长。如圣经教导我们，我们将离开父母和妻子二合为一，在身体和灵魂上的结合在一起。
So let us pray for them as they start this journey. We will now have a time of prayer for e Bride & groom & we ask J & W to come forward. I would also like to invite leaders of the church to come forward & prayer for them.
让我们为他们即将开展这个重大的人生旅程祷告和祝福。 我们现在邀请这对新郎新娘上前来，为他们祷告。邀请教会的领导们为他们祷告，也请大家伸出双手为他们祝福。

MicroBitEvent¶
Overview¶
Computer programs execute sequentially - one line after another, following the logic of the program you have written.
Sometimes though, we want to be able to determine when something has happened, and write some code to decide what should
happen in that case. For example, maybe you want to know when a button has been pressed, when your micro:bit has been shaken,
or when some data has been sent to you over the micro:bit radio. For these sorts of cases, we create a MicroBitEvent
.
Creating Events¶
Many components will raise events when interesting things occur. For example, 'MicroBitAccelerometer' will raise events to indicate that the
micro:bit has be been shaken, or is in freefall and 'MicroBitButton' will send events on a range of button up, down, click and hold events.
Programmers are also free to send their own events whenever they feel it would be useful. MicroBitEvent
s are very simple, and consist of
only two numbers:
source
- A number identifying the component that created the event.value
- A number unique to the source that identifies the event.
The documentation for each component defines its event source, and all the events it may generate, and also gives a name to these event values. For example, take a look at the button documentation to see that the source MICROBIT_ID_BUTTON_A has the value '1', and an event MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK with the value '3' is generated when a button is clicked.
Creating an event is easy - just create a MicroBitEvent with the source
and value
you need, and the runtime takes care of the rest:
MicroBitEvent(MICROBIT_ID_BUTTON_A, MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK);
Feel free to create your own events lke this too. Just try to avoid using any source ID that is already used by the runtime! :-) See the messageBus page for a complete table of the reserved source IDs.
Detecting Events¶
The micro:bit runtime has a component called the MicroBitMessageBus
, and its job is remember which events your program is interested in, and
to deliver MicroBitEvent
s to your program as they occur.
To find out when an event happens, you need to create a function in your program, then tell the message bus which event you want to attach this function to. This is known as writing an event handler.
You write an event handler through the MicroBitMessageBus
listen function.
API¶
Constructor¶
MicroBitEvent( uint16_t source, uint16_t value)¶
Description¶
Constructor.
Parameters¶
uint16_tsourceuint16_tvalue - A component specific code indicating the cause of the event.
Example¶
// Create and launch an event using the default configuration
MicrobitEvent evt(id,MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK);
// Create an event only, do not fire onto an EventModel.
MicrobitEvent evt(id,MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK,CREATE_AND_FIRE);
MicroBitEvent( uint16_t source, uint16_t value, MicroBitEventLaunchMode mode)¶
Description¶
Constructor.
Parameters¶
uint16_tsourceuint16_tvalue - A component specific code indicating the cause of the event.MicroBitEventLaunchModemode - Optional definition of how the event should be processed after construction (if at all): CREATE_ONLY: MicroBitEvent is initialised, and no further processing takes place. CREATE_AND_FIRE: MicroBitEvent is initialised, and its event handlers are immediately fired (not suitable for use in interrupts!).
Example¶
// Create and launch an event using the default configuration
MicrobitEvent evt(id,MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK);
// Create an event only, do not fire onto an EventModel.
MicrobitEvent evt(id,MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK,CREATE_AND_FIRE);
MicroBitEvent()¶
Description¶
Default constructor - initialises all values, and sets timestamp to the current time.
fire¶
void fire()¶

This is an example of a Horizontal Bar chart that has been customised to have a blocky appearance. The linewidth of the axes has been increased and the background grid has been disabled. Plus, the labels have been bolded and the chart uses the wave()
effect.
 Put this where you want the chart to show up:

This is the code that generates the chart - it should be placed AFTER the

Use the RAISE statement to report messages and raise errors.
RAISE [ level ] 'format' [, expression [, ... ]] [ USING option = expression [, ... ] ]; RAISE [ level ] condition_name [ USING option = expression [, ... ] ]; RAISE [ level ] SQLSTATE 'sqlstate' [ USING option = expression [, ... ] ]; RAISE [ level ] USING option = expression [, ... ]; RAISE ;
The level option specifies the error severity. Allowed levels are DEBUG, LOG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, and EXCEPTION, with EXCEPTION being the default. EXCEPTION raises an error (which normally aborts the current transaction); the other levels only generate messages of different priority levels. Whether messages of a particular priority are reported to the client, written to the server log, or both is controlled by the log_min_messages and client_min_messages configuration variables. See Chapter 18 for more information.
After level if any, you can write a format (which must be a simple string literal, not an expression). The format string specifies the error message text to be reported. The format string can be followed by optional argument expressions to be inserted into the message. Inside the format string, % is replaced by the string representation of the next optional argument's value. Write %% to emit a literal %.
In this example, the value of v_job_id will replace the % in the string:
RAISE NOTICE 'Calling cs_create_job(%)', v_job_id;
You can attach additional information to the error report by writing USING followed by option = expression items. The allowed option keywords are MESSAGE, DETAIL, HINT, and ERRCODE, while each expression can be any string-valued expression. MESSAGE sets the error message text (this option can't be used in the form of RAISE that includes a format string before USING). DETAIL supplies an error detail message, while HINT supplies a hint message. ERRCODE specifies the error code (SQLSTATE) to report, either by condition name as shown in Appendix A, or directly as a five-character SQLSTATE code.
This example will abort the transaction with the given error message and hint:
RAISE EXCEPTION 'Nonexistent ID --> %', user_id USING HINT = 'Please check your user id';
These two examples show equivalent ways of setting the SQLSTATE:
RAISE 'Duplicate user ID: %', user_id USING ERRCODE = 'unique_violation'; RAISE 'Duplicate user ID: %', user_id USING ERRCODE = '23505';
There is a second RAISE syntax in which the main argument is the condition name or SQLSTATE to be reported, for example:
RAISE division_by_zero; RAISE SQLSTATE '22012';
In this syntax, USING can be used to supply a custom error message, detail, or hint. Another way to do the earlier example is
RAISE unique_violation USING MESSAGE = 'Duplicate user ID: ' || user_id;
Still another variant is to write RAISE USING or RAISE level USING and put everything else into the USING list.
The last variant of RAISE has no parameters at all. This form can only be used inside a BEGIN block's EXCEPTION clause; it causes the error currently being handled to be re-thrown to the next enclosing block.
If no condition name nor SQLSTATE is specified in a RAISE EXCEPTION command, the default is to use RAISE_EXCEPTION (P0001). If no message text is specified, the default is to use the condition name or SQLSTATE as message text.
Note: When specifying an error code by SQLSTATE code, you are not limited to the predefined error codes, but can select any error code consisting of five digits and/or upper-case ASCII letters, other than 00000. It is recommended that you avoid throwing error codes that end in three zeroes, because these are category codes and can only be trapped by trapping the whole category.

This gives me excessive memory consumption detected at 'whnf' (potential solution: increase memory consumption threshold)
Does anyone else get this error?
import data.polynomial topology.instances.real topology.instances.polynomial open polynomial lemma poly_eq_poly (a b c x : ℝ) : a * x^2 + b * x + c = eval x (C a * X^2 + C b * X + C c) := begin simp only, end
I noticed this working on the cap set proof. It's been on my list to debug properly but I haven't found the time. You can work around it by disabling one of the options to simp
(use_axioms
iirc, but I'm not confident there).
Hmm, it's not use_axioms

First things first. Download the interpreter source code from here.
To compile the interpreter you need GHC and the Haskell Platform. Then just type "ghc --make main.hs -o burlesque -O3 -fforce-recomp && chmod +x ./burlesque". You might not have all required modules. 'cabal install split web-encodings haskeline mtl regex-compat parsec digits statistics' should fix that.
Start the interpreter with "./burlesque --shell" and you're ready!
blsq ) 5 5 .+ 10 blsq )
You can use "./burlesque --file path" to execute a file including reading from stdin. (Use --file--no-stdin if you don't want that.) You can also just pass a program to it './burlesque --no-stdin "5 3 .-"'.
Now you're ready to read the tutorial.


Broadridge acquires ClearStructure
by Alex HamiltonBroadridge Financial Services has acquired portfolio management firm ClearStructure Financial Technology.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed by either party.


I believe Washington is when I feel the US is a developed country. The city is so clean and peaceful(feel like it). It's quiet and not crowded. I love the subway in Washington too. The only thing that bothers me is that few shops/restaurants is open on weekend. Generally, it's a city where you can experience development haha!
We lived in a small hotel near Farragut North subway station. Really convenient to get anywhere. I do love the style of the city. Really clean and organized
There are many attractions for you explore in Washington D.C. The White House, the US Capitol, the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Military Cemetery.....They may not sound interesting (That's what I thought at the beginning) but they all turn out to be really amazing experiences.
