The city of Cairhien lay across hills against the River Alguenya, and Rand’s first sight of it came from the hills to the north, by the light of the midday sun. Elricain Tavolin and the fifty Cairhienin soldiers still seemed like guards to him—the more since crossing the bridge at the Gaelin; they became more stiff the further south they rode—but Loial and Hurin did not appear to mind, so he tried not to. He studied the city, as large as any he had seen. Fat ships and broad barges filled the river, and tall granaries sprawled along the far bank, but Cairhien seemed to be laid out in a precise grid behind its high, gray walls. Those walls themselves made a perfect square, with one side hard along the river. In just as exact a pattern, towers rose within the walls, soaring as much as twenty times the height of the wall, yet even from the hills Rand could see that each one ended in a jagged top.
Outside the city walls, surrounding them from riverbank to riverbank, lay a warren of streets, crisscrossing at all angles and teeming with people. Foregate, Rand knew it was called, from Hurin; once there had been a market village for every city gate, but over the years they had all grown into one, a hodgepodge of streets and alleys growing up every which way.
As Rand and the others rode into those dirt streets, Tavolin put some of his soldiers to clearing a path through the throng, shouting and urging their horses forward as if to trample any who did not get out of the way quickly. People moved aside with no more than a glance, as if it were an everyday occurrence. Rand found himself smiling, though.
The Foregate people’s clothes were shabby more often than not, yet much of it was colorful, and there was a raucous bustle of life to the place. Hawkers cried their wares, and shopkeepers called for people to examine the goods displayed on tables before their shops. Barbers, fruit-peddlers, knife-sharpeners, men and women offering a dozen services and a hundred things for sale, wandered through the crowds. Music drifted through the babble from more than one structure; at first Rand thought they were inns, but the signs out front all showed men playing flutes or harps, tumbling or juggling, and large as they were, they had no windows. Most of the buildings in Foregate seemed to be wood, however big they were, and a good many looked new, if poorly made. Rand gaped at several that stood seven stories or more; they swayed slightly, though the people hurrying in and out did not seem to notice.
“Peasants,” Tavolin muttered, staring straight ahead in disgust. “Look at them, corrupted by outland ways. They should not be here.”
“Where should they be?” Rand asked. The Cairhienin officer glared at him and spurred his horse forward, flogging at the crowd with his quirt.
Hurin touched Rand’s arm. “It was the Aiel War, Lord Rand.” He looked to make sure none of the soldiers were close enough to hear. “Many of the farmers were afraid to go back to their lands near the Spine of the World, and they all came here, near enough. That’s why Galldrian has the river full of grain barges up from Andor and Tear. There’s no crops coming from farms in the east because there aren’t any farms anymore. Best not to mention it to a Cairhienin though, my Lord. They like to pretend the war never happened, or at least that they won it.”
Despite Tavolin’s quirt, they were forced to halt while a strange procession crossed their path. Half a dozen men, beating tambours and dancing, led the way for a string of huge puppets, each half again as tall as the men who worked them with long poles. Giant crowned figures of men and women in long, ornate robes bowed to the crowd amid the shapes of fanciful beasts. A lion with wings. A goat, walking on its hind legs, with two heads, both of which were apparently meant to be breathing fire, from the crimson streamers hanging from the two mouths. Something that seemed to be half cat and half eagle, and another with a bear’s head on a man’s body, which Rand took to be a Trolloc. The crowd cheered and laughed as they pranced by.
“Man who made that never saw a Trolloc,” Hurin grumbled. “Head’s too big, and it’s too skinny. Likely didn’t believe in them, either, my Lord, any more than in those other things. The only monsters these Foregate folk believe in are Aiel.”
“Are they having a festival?” Rand asked. He did not see any sign of it other than the procession, but he thought that there must be a reason for that. Tavolin ordered his soldiers forward again.
“No more than every day, Rand,” Loial said. Walking alongside his horse, the blanket-wrapped chest still strapped to his saddle, the Ogier drew as many looks as the puppets had. Some even laughed and clapped as they had for the puppets. “I fear Galldrian keeps his people quiet by entertaining them. He gives gleemen and musicians the King’s Gift, a bounty in silver, to perform here in the Foregate, and he sponsors horse races down by the river every day. There are fireworks many nights, too.” He sounded disgusted. “Elder Haman says Galldrian is a disgrace.” He blinked, realizing what he had said, and looked around hurriedly to see if any of the soldiers had heard. None seemed to have.
“Fireworks,” Hurin said, nodding. “The Illuminators have built a chapter house here, I’ve heard, the same as in Tanchico. I didn’t half mind seeing the fireworks, when I was here before.”
Rand shook his head. He had never seen fireworks elaborate enough to require even one Illuminator. He had heard they only left Tanchico to put on displays for rulers. It was a strange place he was coming to.
At the tall, square archway of the city gate, Tavolin ordered a halt and dismounted by a squat stone building just inside the walls. It had arrowslits instead of windows, and a heavy, iron-bound door.
“A moment, my Lord Rand,” the officer said. Tossing his reins to one of the soldiers, he disappeared inside.
With a wary look at the soldiers—they sat their horses rigidly in two long files; Rand wondered what they would do if he and Loial and Hurin tried to leave—he took the opportunity to study the city that lay before him.
Cairhien proper was a sharp contrast to the chaotic bustle of the Foregate. Broad, paved streets, wide enough to make the people in them seem fewer than they were, crossed each other at right angles. Just as in Tremonsien, the hills had been carved and terraced to straight lines. Closed sedan chairs, some with small pennants bearing the sigil of a House, moved with deliberateness, and carriages rolled down the streets slowly. People went silently in dark clothes, with no bright colors except here and there slashes across the breast of coat or dress. The more slashes, the more proudly the wearer moved, but no one laughed, or even smiled. The buildings on their terraces were all of stone, and the ornamentation was straight-lined and sharp-angled. There were no hawkers or peddlers in the streets, and even the shops seemed subdued, with only small signs and no wares displayed outside.
He could see the great towers more clearly, now. Scaffolds of lashed poles surrounded them, and workmen swarmed on the scaffolding, laying new stones to push the towers higher still.
“The Topless Towers of Cairhien,” Loial murmured sadly. “Well, they were tall enough to warrant the name, once. When the Aiel took Cairhien, about the time you were born, the towers burned, and cracked, and fell. I don’t see any Ogier among the stonemasons. No Ogier could like working here—the Cairhienin want what they want, without embellishment—but there were Ogier when I was here before.”
Tavolin came out, trailing another officer and two clerks, one carrying a large, wood-bound ledger and the other a tray with writing implements. The front of the officer’s head was shaven like Tavolin’s, though advancing baldness seemed to have taken more hair than the razor. Both officers looked from the Rand to the chest hidden by Loial’s striped blanket and back again. Neither asked what was under the blanket. Tavolin had looked at it often on the way from Tremonsien, but he had never asked, either. The balding man looked at Rand’s sword, too, and pursed his lips for an instant.
Tavolin gave the other officer’s name as Asan Sandair, and announced loudly, “Lord Rand of House al’Thor, in Andor, and his man, called Hurin, with Loial, an Ogier of Stedding Shangtai.” The clerk with the ledger opened it across his two arms, and Sandair wrote the names in a round hand.
“You must return to this guardhouse by this same hour tomorrow, my Lord,” Sandair said, leaving the sanding to the second clerk, “and give the name of the inn where you are staying.”
Rand looked at the staid streets of Cairhien, then back at the liveliness of the Foregate. “Can you tell me the name of a good inn out there?” He nodded to the Foregate.
Hurin made a frantic hsst and leaned close. “It would not be proper, Lord Rand,” he whispered. “If you stay in the Foregate, being a lord and all, they’ll be sure you are up to something.”
Rand could see the sniffer was right. Sandair’s mouth had dropped open and Tavolin’s brows had risen at his question, and they were both still watching him intently. He wanted to tell them he was not playing their Great Game, but instead he said, “We will take rooms in the city. We can go now?”
“Of course, my Lord Rand.” Sandair made a bow. “But . . . the inn?”
“I will let you know when we find one.” Rand turned Red, then paused. Selene’s note crackled in his pocket. “I need to find a young woman from Cairhien. The Lady Selene. She is my age, and beautiful. I don’t know her House.”
Sandair and Tavolin exchanged looks, then Sandair said, “I will make inquiries, my Lord. Perhaps I will be able to tell you something when you come tomorrow.”
Rand nodded and led Loial and Hurin into the city. They attracted little notice, though there were few riders. Even Loial attracted almost none. The people seemed nearly ostentatious about minding their own business.
“Will they take it the wrong way,” Rand asked Hurin, “my asking after Selene?”
“Who can say with Cairhienin, Lord Rand? They seem to think everything has to do with Daes Dae’mar.”
Rand shrugged. He felt as if people were looking at him. He could not wait to get a good, plain coat again, and stop pretending to be what he was not.
Hurin knew several inns in the city, though his time in Cairhien had been spent mainly in the Foregate. The sniffer led them to one called The Defender of the Dragonwall, the sign bearing a crowned man with his foot on another man’s chest and his sword at the man’s throat. The fellow on his back had red hair.
A hostler came to take their horses, darting quick looks at Rand and at Loial when he thought he was not observed. Rand told himself to stop having fancies; not everyone in the city could be playing this Game of theirs. And if they were, he was no part of it.
The common room was neat, with the tables laid out as strictly as the city, and only a few people at them. They glanced up at the newcomers, then back to their wine immediately; Rand had the feeling they were still watching, though, and listening.
The innkeeper was a plump, unctuous man with a single stripe of green across his dark gray coat. He gave a start at his first sight of them, and Rand was not surprised. Loial, with the chest in his arms under its striped blanket, had to duck his head to make it in through the door, Hurin was burdened with all their saddlebags and bundles, and his own red coat was a sharp contrast to the somber colors the people at the tables wore.
The innkeeper took in Rand’s coat and his sword, and his oily smile came back. He bowed, washing his smooth hands. “Forgive me, my Lord. It was just that for a moment I took you for—Forgive me. My brain is not what it was. You wish rooms, my Lord?” He added another, lesser bow for Loial. “I am called Cuale, my Lord.”
He thought I was Aiel, Rand thought sourly. He wanted to be gone from Cairhien. But it was the one place Ingtar might find them. And Selene had said she would wait for him in Cairhien.
It took a little time for their rooms to be readied, Cuale explaining with too many smiles and bows that it was necessary to move a bed for Loial. Rand wanted them all to share a room again, but between the innkeeper’s scandalized looks and Hurin’s insistence—“We have to show these Cairhienin we know what’s right as well as they do, Lord Rand”—they ended with two, one for him alone, with a connecting door.
The rooms were much the same except that theirs had two beds, one sized for an Ogier, while his had only one bed, and that almost as big as the other two, with massive square posts that nearly reached the ceiling. His tall-backed, padded chair and the washstand were square and massive, too, and the wardrobe standing against his wall was carved in a heavy, rigid style that made the thing look ready enough to fall over on him. A pair of windows siding his bed looked out on the street, two floors below.
As soon as the innkeeper left, Rand opened the door and admitted Loial and Hurin into his room. “This place gnaws at me,” he told them. “Everybody looks at you as if they think you’re doing something. I’m going back to the Foregate, for an hour anyway. At least the people laugh, there. Which of you is willing to take the first watch on the Horn?”
“I will stay,” Loial said quickly. “I’d like a chance to do a little reading. Just because I didn’t see any Ogier does not mean there are no stonemasons down from Stedding Tsofu. It is not far from the city.”
“I’d think you would want to meet them.”
“Ah . . . no, Rand. They asked enough questions the last time about why I was outside alone as it was. If they’ve had word from Stedding Shangtai . . . Well, I will just rest here and read, I think.”
Rand shook his head. He often forgot that Loial had run away from home, in effect, to see the world. “What about you, Hurin? There’s music in the Foregate, and people laughing. I’ll wager no one is playing Daes Dae’mar there.”
“I would not be so certain of that myself, Lord Rand. In any case, I thank you for the invitation, but I think not. There’s so many fights—and killings, too—in Foregate, that it stinks, if you know what I mean. Not that they’re likely to bother a lord, of course; the soldiers would be down on them if they did. But if it pleases you, I would like to have a drink in the common room.”
“Hurin, you don’t need my permission for anything. You know that.”
“As you say, my Lord.” The sniffer gave a suggestion of a bow.
Rand took a deep breath. If they did not leave Cairhien soon, Hurin would be bowing and scraping left and right. And if Mat and Perrin saw that, they would never let him forget it. “I hope nothing delays Ingtar. If he doesn’t come quickly, we’ll have to take the Horn back to Fal Dara ourselves.” He touched Selene’s note through his coat. “We will have to. Loial, I’ll come back so you can see some of the city.”
“I’d rather not risk it,” Loial said.
Hurin accompanied Rand downstairs. As soon as they reached the common room, Cuale was bowing in front of Rand, pushing a tray at him. Three folded and sealed parchments lay on the tray. Rand took them, since that was what the innkeeper seemed to intend. They were a fine grade of parchment, soft and smooth to his touch. Expensive.
“What are these?” he asked.
Cuale bowed again. “Invitations, of course, my Lord. From three of the noble Houses.” He bowed himself away.
“Who would send me invitations?” Rand turned them over in his hand. None of the men at the tables looked up, but he had the feeling they were watching just the same. He did not recognize the seals. None was the crescent moon and stars Selene had used. “Who would know I was here?”
“Everyone by now, Lord Rand,” Hurin said quietly. He seemed to feel eyes watching, too. “The guards at the gate would not keep their mouths closed about an outland lord coming to Cairhien. The hostler, the innkeeper . . . everybody tells what they know where they think it will do them the most good, my Lord.”
With a grimace, Rand took two steps and hurled the invitations into the fire. They caught immediately. “I am not playing Daes Dae’mar,” he said, loudly enough for everyone to hear. Not even Cuale looked at him. “I’ve nothing to do with your Great Game. I am just here to wait for some friends.”
Hurin caught his arm. “Please, Lord Rand.” His voice was an urgent whisper. “Please don’t do that again.”
“Again? You really think I’ll receive more?”
“I’m certain. Light, but you mind me of the time Teva got so mad at a hornet buzzing round his ears, he kicked the nest. You’ve likely just convinced everyone in the room you are in some deep part of the Game. It must be deep, as they’ll see it, if you deny playing at all. Every lord and lady in Cairhien plays it.” The sniffer glanced at the invitations, curling blackly in the fire, and winced. “And you have surely made enemies of three Houses. Not great Houses, or they’d not have moved so quickly, but still noble. You must answer any more invitations you receive, my Lord. Decline if you will—though they’ll read things into whose invitations you do decline. And into whose you accept. Of course, if you decline them all, or accept them all—”
“I’ll have no part of it,” Rand said quietly. “We are leaving Cairhien as soon as we can.” He thrust his fists into his coat pockets, and felt Selene’s note crumple. Pulling it out, he smoothed it on his coat front. “As soon as we can,” he muttered, putting it back in his pocket again. “Have your drink, Hurin.”
He stalked out angrily, not sure whether he was angry with himself, or with Cairhien and its Great Game, or Selene for vanishing, or Moiraine. She had started it all, stealing his coats and giving him a lord’s clothes instead. Even now that he called himself free of them, an Aes Sedai still managed to interfere in his life, and without even being there.
He went back through the same gate by which he had entered the city, since that was the way he knew.  The laughter and music of the Foregate were pulling him on.
If his gold-embroidered red coat made him stand out inside the walls, it fit right into the Foregate. Many of the men milling through the crowded streets were dressed just as darkly as those in the city, but just as many wore coats of red, or blue, or green, or gold—some bright enough to be a Tinker’s clothes—and even more of the women had embroidered dresses and colored scarves or shawls. Most of the finery was tattered and ill-fitting, as if made for someone else originally, but if some of those who wore it eyed his fine coat, none seemed to take it amiss.
Once he had to stop for another procession of giant puppets. While the drummers beat their tambours and capered, a pig-faced Trolloc with tusks fought a man in a crown. After a few desultory blows, the Trolloc collapsed to laughter and cheers from the onlookers.
Rand grunted.
He glanced into one of the large, windowless buildings, stopping to look through the door. To his surprise, it seemed to be one huge room, open to the sky in the middle and lined with balconies, with a large dais at one end. He had never seen or heard of anything like it. People jammed the balconies and the floor watching people perform on the dais. He peeked into others as he passed them, and saw jugglers, and musicians, any number of tumblers, and even a gleeman, with his cloak of patches, declaiming a story from The Great Hunt of the Horn in sonorous-voice High Chant.
That made him think of Thom Merrilin, and he hurried on. Memories of Thom were always sad. Thom had been a friend. A friend who had died for him. While I ran away and let him die.
In another of the big structures, a woman in voluminous white robes appeared to make things vanish from one basket and appear in another, then disappear from her hands in great puffs of smoke. The crowd watching her oohed and aahed loudly.
“Two coppers, my good Lord,” a ratty little man in the doorway said. “Two coppers to see the Aes Sedai.”
“I don’t think so.” Rand glanced back at the woman. A white dove had appeared in her hands. Aes Sedai? “No.” He gave the ratty man a small bow and left.
He was making his way through the throng, wondering what to see next, when a deep voice, accompanied by the plucking of a harp, drifted out from a doorway with the sign of a juggler over it.
“ . . . cold blows the wind down Shara Pass; cold lies the grave unmarked. Yet every year at Sunday, upon those piled stones appears a single rose, one crystal teardrop like dew upon the petals, laid by the fair hand of Dunsinin, for she keeps fast to the bargain made by Rogosh Eagle-eye.”
The voice drew Rand like a rope. He pushed through the doorway as applause rose within.
“Two coppers, my good Lord,” said a rat-faced man who could have been twin to the other. “Two coppers to see—”
Rand dug out some coins and thrust them at the man. He walked on in a daze, staring at the man bowing on the dais to the clapping of his listeners, cradling his harp in one arm and with the other spreading his patch-covered cloak as if to trap all the sound they made. He was a tall man, lanky and not young, with long mustaches as white as the hair on his head. And when he straightened and saw Rand, the eyes that widened were sharp and blue.
“Thom.” Rand’s whisper was lost in the noise of the crowd.
Holding Rand’s eye, Thom Merrilin nodded slightly toward a small door beside the dais. Then he was bowing again, smiling and basking in the applause.
Rand made his way to the door and through it. It was only a small hallway, with three steps leading up to the dais. In the other direction from the dais Rand could see a juggler practicing with colored balls, and six tumblers limbering themselves.
Thom appeared on the steps, limping as though his right leg did not bend as well as it had. He eyed the juggler and the tumblers, blew out his mustaches disdainfully, and turned to Rand. “All they want to hear is The Great Hunt of the Horn. You would think, with the news from Haddon Mirk and Saldaea, one of them would ask for The Karaethon Cycle. Well, maybe not that, but I’d pay myself to tell something else.” He looked Rand up and down. “You look as if you’re doing well, boy.” He fingered Rand’s collar and pursed his lips. “Very well.”
Rand could not help laughing. “I left Whitebridge sure you were dead. Moiraine said you were still alive, but I . . . Light, Thom, it’s good to see you again!  That Fade”—he looked around; there was no one close enough to hear, but he lowered his voice anyway—“had no interest in me. It left me a little present of a stiff leg and ran off after you and Mat. All you could have done was die.” He paused, looking thoughtful. “Moiraine said I was still alive, did she? Is she with you, then?”
Rand shook his head. To his surprise, Thom seemed disappointed.
“Too bad, in a way. She’s a fine woman, even if she is . . . ” He left it unsaid. “So it was Mat or Perrin she was after. I won’t ask which. They were good boys, and I don’t want to know.” Rand shifted uneasily, and gave a start when Thom fixed him with a bony finger. “What I do want to know is, do you still have my harp and flute? I want them back, boy. What I have now are not fit for a pig to play.”
“I have them, Thom.  I can’t believe you are alive. And I can’t believe you aren’t in Illian. The Great Hunt setting out. The prize for the best telling of The Great Hunt of the Horn. You were dying to go.”
Thom snorted. “After Whitebridge? Likely I’d die if I did go. Even if I could have reached the boat before it sailed, Domon and his whole crew would be spreading the tale all over Illian about how I was being chased by Trollocs. If they saw the Fade, or heard of it, before Domon cut his lines . . . Most Illianers think Trollocs and Fades are fables, but enough others might want to know why a man was pursued by them to make Illian somewhat more than uncomfortable.”
“Thom, I have so much to tell you.”
 “Later, boy.” He was exchanging glares down the length of the hall with the narrow-faced man from the door. “If I don’t go back and tell another, he will no doubt send the juggler out, and that lot will tear the hall down around our heads. You come to The Bunch of Grapes, just beyond the Jangai Gate. I have a room there. Anyone can tell you where to find it. I’ll be there in another hour or so. One more tale will have to satisfy them.” He started back up the steps, flinging over his shoulder, “And bring my harp and my flute!”

Vision
Globally, nearly 1 out of every 5 children of primary-school age are not in school, 40% of secondary-age children don't attend school, and even more do not have the opportunity to pursue higher education. Poverty is a principal cause. Often times, families have trouble affording school fees and supplies, or may simply need their children to contribute to household income. In addition, the poor quality of local schools may make the benefit of education appear elusive.
At Givology, our vision is to make quality education accessible for all children. We believe that education is the single most important and sustainable resource for individual empowerment, community advancement, and poverty alleviation. Through our network of grassroots partnerships, we strive to connect our network of donors with innovative, high-impact projects and scholarships that can transform local communities one at a time.

Whonow DNS Server
Whonow is a custom DNS server that lets you specify DNS responses and rebind rules dynamically using domain requests themselves. Here’s an example of how it works:
# respond to DNS queries for this domain with <IP_ADDRESS> the first
# time it is requested and then <IP_ADDRESS> every time after that.
A.<IP_ADDRESS>.1time.<IP_ADDRESS>.forever.rebind.network
# respond first with <IP_ADDRESS>, then <IP_ADDRESS> the next five
# times, and then start all over again (1, then 5, forever…)
 Instead, everyone can share the same public whonow server running on port 53 of rebind.network.
You can try it now if you’d like, just use dig to query the public whonow instance. It responds to requests for *rebind.network domain names.
# dig is a unix command for making DNS requests
dig A.<IP_ADDRESS>.forever.rebind.network
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;<IP_ADDRESS>.forever.rebind.network. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
<IP_ADDRESS>.forever.rebind.network. 1 IN A <IP_ADDRESS>
Whonow always sets TTL values to one second so you can expect that it’s responses won’t stay in a DNS resolver’s cache for long.

P1 Task 2 - Draw a Grid Of Rectangles¶
Note
When finished, submit the iRobot project code of your solution in Moodle
Make the robot draw a grid of rectangles (see the figure 2a-c). The dimension of the grid (rows and columns) must be changeable through variables (figure 2a), i.e., the code is able to draw grids of arbitrary dimensions like 2x2, 2x7, 5x3, etc (figure 2b and 2c). The rectangles must not overlap with eachother. You are free to choose your drawing technique, which may be more efficient than one shown in figure 2. If you’re stuck then the “nested loop” and “variables” exercises might provide you some guidance.

The Haskell XML Toolbox is a collection of tools for processing XML with Haskell. It is purely written in Haskell. The Haskell XML Toolbox is a project of the University of Applied Sciences Wedel,
The main design goal of the Haskell XML Toolbox is the support of various XML standards including Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Second Edition) with DTD processing and Validation, Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Second Edition), XML Path Language (XPath), XSL Transformations (XSLT), RELAX NG Specification, as well as HTML/XHTML processing.
The Haskell XML Toolbox bases on the ideas of HaXml and HXML, but introduces a more general and flexible approach for processing XML with Haskell. The Haskell XML Toolbox uses a generic data model for representing XML documents, including the DTD subset and the document subset, in Haskell. This data model makes it possible to use filter functions as a uniform design of XML processing applications. The processing filters are implemented as arrows. This is more flexible than the filter approach from HXML and HaXml, but all filter applications can easily be transformed into arrows.
Since version 5.2 HXT works with arrows instead of filters. The filter part has been separated from this library and is available in an extra package (see HXT with Filters) There is a cookbook for using this arrow interface to build (nontrivial) applications. Manuel Ohlendorf has developed examples for processing RDF and has documented the development in his master thesis: A Cookbook for the Haskell XML Toolbox with Examples for Processing RDF Documents (the thesis as PDF)
New Features in hxt-9.2:
New Features in hxt-9.1:
Features:
The API documentation of the HXT packages is available on hackage and can be found via Hayoo!.
A (somewhat) gentle introduction to HXT is avalable in the Haskell Wiki. HXT-9 is not downwards compatible to older versions. When upgrading sources to HXT-9, especially dealing with configuration options has to be changed. The HXT Wiki page contains hints to upgrade old sources. Conversion between XML and native Haskell data is described in another Haskell Wiki page HXT: Conversion of Haskell data from/to XML with picklers. A description of the XML Schema regex package including various examples can be found in Regular expressions for XML Schema
The XSLT transformer has been developed by Tim Walkenhorst in this master thesis: Implementing an XSLT processor for the Haskell XML Toolbox. It's a rather complete implementation, but it's of course not a substitute for Xalan or other advanced XSLT systems. The XSLT module consists of less than 2000 lines of code. Compared with the more than 300,000 lines of Java for Xalan, this Haskell code can be viewed as one of the first formal specifications for XSLT.
Manuel Ohlendorfs master thesis, describing the arrow interface of the toolbox: A Cookbook for the Haskell XML Toolbox with Examples for Processing RDF Documents (the thesis as PDF). The source code of the example application is included in the doc/cookbook directory of the distribution.
The master's thesis "Design and Implementation of a validating XML parser in Haskell" by Martin Schmidt describes the design and motivation of the Haskell XML Toolbox (the thesis as HTML or PDF) and the development of the DTD validator module. The documentation in the thesis is a bit out of date, the modules and module names and some function names have been changed. For details the online haddock documentation should be used.
The description of the development of the XPath modules is described (in german) in Konzeption und Implementierung eines XPath-Moduls für die Haskell XML Toolbox (PDF-document).
The description of the internals of the Relax NG validator modules is described (in german) in Design und Entwicklung eines Relax NG Schema Validators auf Basis der Haskell XML Toolbox (PDF-document).
It is recommended to install the HXT packages available from Hackage.
With HXT-9 the toolbox has been split into smaller packages. The core package includes the validating XML parser and an error tolerant HTML parser, all the XML/HTML processing arrows and the picklers for conversion from/to native Haskell data. This package does not depend on any HTTP library. For HTTP access the packages hxt-http or hxt-curl are available. The core package and the extensions require some basic funtionality, which could be useful for other (none XML/HTML) projects. These are automatically installed by cabal when installing the main packages.
There are various examples included in the .tar archives, usually in subdirectories example.
A git repository is available on GitHub. This repository contains all HXT packages.
Installation is done like usual via cabal: cabal install hxt
The parser has been tested with the XML Validation Suite form the W3C. The following problems have been encountered:
Portability to Windows based systems has not been tested very intensively, but did work on an XP system with the Cygwin tools installed. Development was done under Linux with GHC 6.12 with the -Wall flag. No warnings were issued, when compiling the sources.
The old filter variant of HXT hxt-filter is not supported by the HXT-9 version any more.
We are interested in hearing your feedback
on our Haskell XML Toolbox, suggestions
for improvements, comments and criticisms.

crosshair - Crosshairs for Tk canvas
The crosshair package provides commands to (de)activate and track crosshairs on canvas widgets.
The following commands are exported to the public:
This command activates the display of a pair of cross-hairs for the canvas widget w. The cross-hairs track the pointing device. The result of the command is the empty string.
All arguments after the widget w are treated as options as for a canvas line item in w. Of particular interest are -fill and -dash.
This command removes the cross-hairs from the canvas widget w. Nothing is done if the widget had no cross-hairs. The result of the command is the empty string.
This command changes the appearance of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to call it for a canvas which has no cross-hairs.
All arguments after the widget w are treated as options as for a canvas line item in w. Of particular interest are -fill and -dash.
The result of the command are the current configuration settings.
This command activates reporting of the location of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to use this command for a canvas which has no cross-hairs. The result of the command is the empty string.
After the invokation of this command the specified command prefix cmdprefix will be called whenever the mouse moves within the canvas, with 7 arguments. These are, in order:
The widget w
The x-location of the cross-hairs, in pixels.
The y-location of the cross-hairs, in pixels.
The x-location of the top-left corner of the viewport, in pixels.
The y-location of the top-left corner of the viewport, in pixels.
The x-location of the bottom-right corner of the viewport, in pixels.
The y-location of the bottom-right corner of the viewport, in pixels.
A previously existing callback for w will be disabled. I.e. per canvas widget with cross-hairs only one callback reporting their location is possible.
This command disables the reporting of the location of the cross-hairs in the canvas widget w. It is an error to use this command for a canvas which has no cross-hairs. The result of the command is the empty string.
This command adds a bounding box to the crosshairs for canvas w. The crosshairs will only be active within that area.
The result of the command is a token with which the bounding box can be removed again, see crosshair::bbox_remove below.
The bounding box bbox is specified thorugh a list of 4 values, the lower left and upper right corners of the box. The order of values in the list is:
llx lly urx ury
Note that this command can be used multiple times, each call adding one more bounding box. In such a case the visible area is the union of all the specified bounding boxes.
This command removes the bounding box specified by the token (a result of crosshair::bbox_add) from the crosshairs for its canvas widget.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category tklib :: crosshair of the Tcllib SF Trackers. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.

This summer, after researching it, but with low expectations of effects, I ordered several ounces of Wild Dagga flowers from an online source.
Upon arrival: the flowers have a slight odor, but subtle...like, a really faint mix of earth and lemon. They look very bright and fresh, and are quite fuzzy and prickly.
3 P.M.
Subject is a moderately heavy smoker (just under a pack a day), 3-5 time a week cannabis user, and weekend drinker, but fairly physically fit. Subject had a full stomach, had consumed roughly 100 mg of caffeine about 3 hours before, and had smoked 3 cigarettes since awakening.
I proceeded to take a walk out in the woods (where I always go to try new herbs), and loaded up a clean, fresh pipe with no thc resin in it whatsoever. I lit it and slowly drew in a heavy lungful. The smoke is VERY thick, and smells like a bonfire, but for some reason, isn't too incredibly harsh on the throat. I end up smoking the entire bowl fairly quickly, and lighting up a cigarette.
T + 5 minutes- Starting to feel a little lightheaded, the same 'head space' cannabis gives me. AND the euphoria of cannabis. But comparisons end there. My mind is clear and grounded, and my thoughts are focused. I feel very content and relaxed, but not 'impaired'.
T + 10 minutes- Walking back to my house,feeling a bit more tired now...much more potent than I had expected (remember, however, I had VERY low expectations...I was expecting an effect like I've gotten from blue and white lotuses, wild lettuce, damiana, kratom, etc....in other words, no effect at all.)
T+ 15 minutes-effects are gently dissipating, and I'm comfortable and relaxed laying in the hammock, reading in the sun.
Since this first time, I've come to use Wild Dagga pretty much daily. I have anxiety problems, and dagga seems to calm my nerves, especially along with valerian root. The only downsides to this wonderful plant, from what I can see, are
A: Smoking it is probably not very good for the body, and
B: Even though Wild Dagga tea is good and effective(lasts longer), in my experiences, it takes a significantly larger amound of Wild Dagga to make a tea that is potent enough. For this reason, I intend on growing and harvesting some of my own plants next season, to cut down on costs (and, of course, to enjoy the fruits of my own labor).

ChemicalBurn is a screensaver that simulates a transportation network. Packages are generated with a destination, and attempt to find the fastest way there. Frequently used routes get faster, making them more popular. The result is a beautiful self-organizing network colorfully displayed on your screen.
New in 1.1.1:
• Fixed deadlock in threading code, added watchdog thread to terminate gracefully in case of other deadlocks.
New in 1.1:
• ChemicalBurn is now multithreaded to take advantage of multicore and multiprocessor Macintoshes.
How it Works
Nodes are randomly generated on the screen. Initially, all connections are equally slow. Packages are generated randomly as the screensaver runs. Each package is generated at a random node, and has another random node set as its destination.
As packages flow through a connection, the connection is strengthened and becomes faster. A disused connection gradually weakens. This is analogous to real-life computer and transportation networks, where the connections with the most traffic get more infrastructure investment and become even faster.
The result is a self-organizing network with complex structure, as popular routes are reinforced with even more traffic, and hubs, rings, and other structures form spontaneously from the simple rules.
If enabled, nodes will be created and destroyed at random during the simulation. When a node is destroyed, it is not immediately removed from the network. Instead the node and its connections turns red, packages are forbidden from using that node in their routes and packages with the destroyed node as their destination are re-routed elsewhere. Once all packages are clear of the destroyed node, it is removed from the screen.
Configuration
ChemicalBurn has several options to allow you to customize it and explore the consequences of different equations on the networks it forms.
Traffic Weighting
As more traffic flows through a connection, it reinforces and becomes faster. The relationship between the number of packages flowing and the speed of the connection can be changed.
Distance Weighting
Normally the length of a connection is just the distance between the two nodes, but this can be altered. This has the effect of changing the speed of longer connections compared to shorter ones. The settings are similar to Traffic Weighting with the exception of Bell, which is removed as it doesn't make sense here.
Create/Destroy Nodes at Random
If checked, nodes will be created and destroyed at random. The rate is adjusted to keep the total number of nodes close to the desired amount. If unchecked, the network will remain static except for the changes in connection weighting.
Package of Death
When unchecked, nodes are created and destroyed at random. When checked, nodes are created at random but destroyed using a special Package of Death. This package is displayed onscreen as a red triangle. Unlike other packages, it is never delivered, but when it reaches its destination it immediately chooses a new destination and keeps moving. Every node it touches is destroyed. Its speed is adjusted to keep the number of nodes close to the number desired.
Number of Nodes:
Sets the number of nodes visible on screen. If Create/Destroy Nodes at Random is checked, this number is merely approximate.
The number of nodes has a drastic effect on performance. Most of ChemicalBurn's time is spent finding the optimal route for the packages. This has to be done when a package is generated, and is redone every time the package reaches a new node, as conditions may have changed while it was in transit. The route-finding algorithm takes a time that is approximately proportional to the square of the number of nodes.
Worse, the number of route-finding operations increases as the number of nodes goes up. There are more packages generated, and each package needs individual route-finding. More nodes tends to have networks with more steps, which also increases the number of route-finding operations.
In the end, the CPU time spent is proportional to the cube or fourth power of the number of nodes. The default value of 100 runs well on my high-end G4. Increase it if you have a fast computer and like a busy screen. Decreasing it can drastically cut the amout of CPU power used while still presenting a very pretty screensaver.

Coming from a medical/healthcare background, I had very little to expect when I started a data analytics course last October. However, having completed three blocks of lectures and exams, it started to become very clear what data science is to me. Since this is a new field, it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly data science is. Of course you will be dealing with data, but what else involved beyond data?
There are three main components to data science, rank based on importance and is non-exhaustive:
- Statistics
- Technology
- Domain or industry knowledge
Statistics
Between statistics and technology, I put statistics as the most important aspect in data science, simply because the implementation of the concepts that you learn in statistics are done using technology (more explanation about technology in the next paragraph). Note that this opinion is based on my journey in data science and does not apply to everyone in data science.
At the very basic level, it is important to understand the difference between central measures and spread measures as you will be dealing with these in advanced analytics. I had my first lesson in statistics when I was doing International Baccalaureate Diploma for Higher Level Mathematics.
I am so glad to get the opportunity to learn statistics again and to get hands-on experience in modelling data using one of the many probability distributions. I found it very interesting the fact that you can do this in statistics and make an objective decision using hypothesis testing.
You can argue that a data engineer can still produce excellent deliverables without knowing a lot of statistics, and this is absolutely correct. However, as data science is a big field, of course there will be different roles associated with it, for example, data engineer and machine learning experts. Machine learning experts will have an extensive understanding of statistics to help them evaluate the models that they develop, while a data engineer is heavy on the software engineering side to create a data pipeline.
Technology
When I mentioned technology, I wasn’t exactly referring to a scientific calculator. There are so many programming languages and tools in data science coming with their own advantages and disadvantages. As you gain more experience in data science, you will have a suite of your go-to technology depending on what you’re comfortable with and as required by the projects you are working on.
To further discuss about technology in data science, let’s divide it into four categories.
1. Programming Languages
There are many programming languages that can be used as an analytic language. The two most popular languages are R and Python. You can compare R and Python for data analysis from this infographic published by DataCamp. Scala is another programming language that is used for Apache Spark but it is not an exclusive language for Apache Spark as you can write your codes using Python, PySpark and R, SparkR. MATLAB is a language that is very similar to R, if you know R, it is most likely you can learn and write in MATLAB within an hour.
I think it is very useful to learn R and Python as they have many libraries that can assist you in your analysis. One thing to note, in some job descriptions, HR or recruiters will list the library or package names for example ggplot2 or SciKit-Learn. ggplot2 is a data visualisation package in R and it is very popular in creating stunning graphs and charts. SciKit-Learn on the other hand is a Python package for machine learning. So these are not something separate from R or Python, they are just packages written in R or Python.
2. Query Languages
The most popular query language is Structured Query Language (SQL). A query language is used to query a database to retrieve information. SQL is used for relational database where data is stored in tabular format with row and columns. Database that is not relational is called NoSQL (Not Only SQL) database. An example of a NoSQL database is Neo4j, a graph based database and the its query language is called Cypher.
3. Data Science Tools
As I mentioned before, there is a lot of data science tools available on the market, either open source or proprietary. The ones listed here are only a tiny fraction of what’s available.
Tableau
Tableau allows you to analyse your data and create visualisations and dashboards with little to zero line of code. These dashboards can be shared and embedded on the web to be shared with other users. Experience and skills in Tableau are desirable in data science job market.
PowerBI
A Microsoft product similar to Tableau.
Rapid Miner
Rapid Miner, a GUI-based application, lets you build a predictive model within minutes with just a few clicks of button.  It is probably suitable for users who does not know how to build predictive models in programming language.
Neo4j
A graph based database, using Cypher as a query language. It is probably a great idea to learn Neo4j as graph analytics are getting more attention.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio is an integrated environment which allows you to manage SQL infrastructure. Codes are written in SQL.
4. The Apaches
The Apache Software Foundation’s mission is to provide software for the public good. They have numerous open source projects. You might see some of Apache’s open source projects in many job descriptions. The most commonly seen is Apache Hadoop. But let’s sort these projects by two categories that are closely related to data science.
For Big Data
For Databases
You will probably use half of the tools listed here, so it is good to know what they are and their functions.
Domain/Industry Knowledge
What I really meant by domain or industry knowledge is the type of data that you will deal with. For example, in healthcare analytics, a data science will deal with health records or blood pressure measurement throughout the day for a cohort of patients. In a bank, they might have an analytics department focusing on customer analytics or marketing analytics.
It will definitely put you to a good advantage having the knowledge or background about the industry that you are working in but looking at it from an analytics perspective.

| Programming with Ophis | ||
|---|---|---|
| <<< Previous | The basics | Next >>> |
The Ophis assembler is a collection of Python modules, controlled by a master script. On Windows, this should all have been combined into an executable file ophis.exe; on other platforms, the Ophis modules should be in the library and the ophis script should be in your path. Typing ophis with no arguments should give a summary of available command line options.
Table 2. Ophis Options
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
-6510 | Allows the 6510 undocumented opcodes as listed in the VICE documentation. |
-65c02 | Allows opcodes and addressing modes added by the 65C02. |
-v 0 | Quiet operation. Only reports errors. |
-v 1 | Default operation. Reports files as they are loaded, and gives statistics on the final output. |
-v 2 | Verbose operation. Names each assembler pass as it runs. |
-v 3 | Debug operation: Dumps the entire IR after each pass. |
-v 4 | Full debug operation: Dumps the entire IR and symbol table after each pass. |
The only options Ophis demands are an input file and an output file. Here's a sample session, assembling the tutorial file here:
localhost$ ophis tutor1.oph tutor1.prg -v 2 Loading tutor1.oph Running: Macro definition pass Running: Macro expansion pass Running: Label initialization pass Fixpoint failed, looping back Running: Label initialization pass Running: Circularity check pass Running: Expression checking pass Running: Easy addressing modes pass Running: Label Update Pass Fixpoint failed, looping back Running: Label Update Pass Running: Instruction Collapse Pass Running: Mode Normalization pass Running: Label Update Pass Running: Assembler Assembly complete: 45 bytes output (14 code, 29 data, 2 filler) |
If your emulator can run PRG files directly, this file will now run (and print HELLO, WORLD!) as many times as you type RUN. Otherwise, use a D64 management utility to put the PRG on a D64, then load and run the file off that.

Every type of CPU understands its own machine language.
Instructions in machine language are numbers stored as bytes in memory.
Each instruction has its own unique numeric code called its operation code or opcode for short.
The 80x86 processor's instructions vary in size.
The opcode is always at the beginning of the instruction.
Many instructions also include data (e.g., constants or addresses) used by the instruction.
Machine language is very difficult to program in directly.
Deciphering the meanings of the numerical-coded instructions is tedious for humans.
An assembly language program is stored as text (just as a higher level language program).
Each assembly instruction represents exactly one machine instruction.
The general form of an assembly instruction is:
mnemonic operand(s)
An assembler is a program that reads a text file with assembly instructions
and converts the assembly into machine code.
Compilers are programs that do similar conversions for high-level programming languages.
An assembler is much simpler than a compiler.
Every assembly language statement directly represents a single machine instruction.
High-level language statements are much more complex and may require many machine instructions.
笔记：这里介绍assembler的概念
There are some differences in the assembly syntax for MASM/TASM and NASM.
Machine code instructions have varying number and type of operands;
however, in general, each instruction itself will have a fixed number of operands (0 to 3).
Operands can have the following types:


{% extends 'admin/model/list.html' %} {% block body %}
This view demonstrated a tree structure, where there's a recursive relationship between records on the same table.
It also demonstrates how to extend the builtin list.html template, and pass your own parameters to the template. E.g. the parameter: foo, which has the value {{ foo }}, passed in dynamically from the {{ h.get_current_view().name }} view.
{{ super() }} {% endblock %}

-: 1 :- IN THE COURT OF SHRI V.P. VAISH, ASJ, ROHINI, DELHI Criminal Revision No. 22/07 Date of hearing arguments: 18.07.2007 1. Sizzling Crafts Pvt Ltd 374, 2nd Floor, Kohat Enclave, Pitampura, Delhi - 34 through its Director Shri J.P. Aggarwal. 2. Shri J.P. Aggarwal S/o Shri Trilok Chand, R/o Flat No. 74, MIG DDA Flats, Pocket D-10, Sector -7, Rohini, Delhi ........ Petitioners Versus 1. The State (Govt. of National Capital Territory) of Delhi 2. Mrs. Kamlesh Garg, W/o Sugan Chand Garg, C-21, Rashmi Apartments, Harsh Vihar, Pitampura, Delhi .... Respondents ------------------------------ ORDER
1. The present revision petition is directed against order dated 03.03.2007, passed by Ld. Metropolitan Magistrate, Rohini, Delhi.
2. The backdrop of the present revision petition is that respondent No.2 herein namely Smt. Kamlesh Garg filed a -: 2 :- complaint under Section 138 read with Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against the petitioners. The case of the respondent No.2 is that petitioner No.2 is the Director of petitioner No.1 and he approached the complainant and requested for a loan of Rs 2 lacs, she gave a loan of Rs. 2 lacs by way of cheque No.59223 drawn on Punjab National Bank, Arya Samaj Road, Rani Bagh, Delhi. In discharge of its liability to repay the loan amount, petitioner No.2 who is responsible for day to day work of the petitioner No.1 company issued two post dated cheques for Rs. One lac each to the complainant and on presentation, both the cheques were dishonoured by the banker of petitioner No.1 with the remarks "account closed". The respondent No.2 herein issued notice dated 08.03.2006 and called upon the petitioners to pay the amount of cheque within 15 days of the receipt of notice, said notice was served on the petitioner No.2 but he failed to repay the amount of the cheques. Thereafter, respondent No.2 filed a complaint. After recording pre-summoning evidence, petitioners were summoned vide order dated 22.04.2006. After hearing arguments on notice, notice under Section 251 Cr.P.C. was given to the petitioners, vide impugned order dated 03.03.2007.
3. Feeling aggrieved by the said order dated 03.03.2007 the petitioners have preferred the present revision petition. I have heard Shri Vinod Kumar Adv for the petitioners and Shri S.K. Attri Adv for respondent No.1. I have also carefully gone through material on record.
-: 3 :-4. Ld counsel for the petitioners submitted that petitioner No.1 is a Private Limited Company and there are four other directors besides petitioner No.2 Shri J.P. Aggarwal. The cheques were issued by petitioner No.1 company, petitioner No.2 never issued the cheques in his individual capacity and, therefore, petitioner No.2 alone cannot be held responsible for dishonour of the said cheques. The cheques are signed by two Directors and not by petitioner No.2 alone. He also contented that as per Memorandum and Articles of Association of the petitioner No.1 company, all the Directors are equally and jointly liable for its liability
5. According to Ld counsel for the petitioners all the Directors of the petitioner No.1 Company should have been made as a party. In support of his submissions he had relied upon Judgments in case titled as Smt. Davinder Kaur & Anr Vs. Small Scale Industries Development Bank of India reported as 1998 (3) Crimes 548, U.P. Pollution Control Board Vs. M/s. Modi Distillery & Ors reported as AIR 1988 Supreme Court 128, Indira & Ors Vs. Karthikeyan & Ors reported as II (1995) BC 208 and case titled as Steel Authority of India Ltd Vs. Harbhajan Singh reported as 1999 (4) RCR (Criminal) 4.
6. Ld counsel for the respondent No.2 urged that respondent No.2 / complainant has averred in the complaint that petitioner No.2 -: 4 :- who is Director of petitioner No.1 approached the complainant and requested for loan of Rs. 2 lacs, the complainant gave loan to him, two cheques were issued by petitioner No.1 company through petitioner No.2. He also pointed out that all the Directors of the Company are not responsible. The complainant has mentioned in para No.4 of the complainant that petitioner No.2 is responsible for day to day affairs of petitioner No.1 company.
7. I have carefully considered the submissions made by Ld counsel for both the parties. I have also carefully gone through the Judgments cited by Ld counsel for the petitioners. In my view the Judgments cited by Ld counsel for the petitioners are of no help to the petitioners. In Smt.Davinder Kaur's case (Supra), complaint under Section 138/141 of the Act was filed, two Directors of the Company filed a petition for quashing of proceedings on the ground that they had ceased to directors of company by the date of issuance of cheques. It was held that there were specific allegations in the complaint that the petitioners were assisting Managing Director in running the business of company, they were equally responsible in approaching the complainant for extending facility of direct discounting of bills to the company and the petition was dismissed. The case of U.P. Pollution Control Board (supra) was under Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act. In Indira's case (supra) petition for quashing of complaint under -: 5 :- Section 138/141 of the Act was filed. It was held that as per Section 141 of the Act if a person committing an offence under Section 138 is a company, every person who, at the time the offence was committed, was incharge of, and was responsible to, the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence. In Steel Authority of India's case (supra), there was allegation in the complaint that Chairman cum Managing Director, Executive Director, Deputy General Manager, Purchase Officer were incharge of and responsible for conduct of Company's business. It was held that there was sufficient material to proceed against the said accused persons.
8. Section 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act reads as under:-
"141 Offences by companies - (1) If the person committing an offence under Section 138 is a company, every person who, at the time the offence was committed, was in charge of, and was responsible to the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any person liable to punishment if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge, or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the -: 6 :- commission of such offence."
9. From bare reading of Section 141 of the Act, it is manifestly clear that if any offence is committed by a company, every person who, at the time offence was committed, was incharge of, and was responsible to, the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be responsible. Proviso to Section 141 of the Act shows that every person who is a Director or employee of the company is not liable and only such person would be held responsible who was incharge and responsible to the company when the offence is committed. In this regarding reliance can be placed on a Judgment of Apex Court in case titled as N.K. Wahi Vs. Shekar Singh & Ors reported as 2007 (1) Bank CLR 540 (SC).
10. In the instant case respondent No.2 has filed a complaint under Section 138/141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The complainant has alleged that petitioner No.2 being Director of petitioner No.1 company approached the complainant and requested for loan, the complainant gave loan to petitioner No.2, cheque was issued by petitioner No.1 through petitioner No.2 and petitioner No.2 is responsible for day to day work of the company. Petitioner No.2 is signatory to both the cheques. In my considered opinion other Directors cannot be impleaded as party at the instance of petitioners, who are accused.
-: 7 :-11. For the foregoing reasons, revision petition fails, same deserves to be dismissed and same is hereby dismissed. Trial Court record alongwith copy of this order be sent back. File of revision petition be consigned to record room.

So, last Friday, on the 14th of November, I managed to get my hands on four hits of acid; it was liquid; each drop was poured onto one of the smartie-style sweet tarts that my dealer had bought at the store we met at. I watched as he did this, and we chatted while waiting for the drops to soak in. I was informed that this stuff was really visual, that if you look at glass on one hit, it gets a stained glass effect. This excited me. I wanted the hallucinations...I wanted to watch my dresser breathe. So, blah blah, the day went on. I went to dinner with my dad. Didn't really eat much, as I was hungry, and buzzing with excitement, anxiety, and joy that I was going to experience such a wonderful drug.
Two to three days before, I had started reading all about LSD, as I tend to do, exactly like I did when I first tried MDMA. I wanted to know everything, so I would be prepared. I was expecting so much stuff to happen. So, at 11:00, as per normal every day, I picked up my boyfriend. We went home, and about 11:20, we both took our shares. Him two, me one, leaving one left over. After around 15 minutes, I was feeling a pretty nice body buzz, and waiting in anticipation, with no fear whatsoever, for the experience.
Around a half hour to forty-five minutes after we took our first hits, we decided to break up the last one; He took a small portion, and I took the larger two that it had split up into.
Conan O'Brian came on, so we watched that. After Conan, we turned off the TV, and headed into the bedroom. My boyfriend kind-of annoyed me by being so reclusive...I was expecting him to be understanding and to help guide me. He put on some music and the AVS on Winamp3, and then after a while, laid down. I was bored, and we went outside for a while, and fed the ducks. They were so cute.
Then, we went back in, and my boyfriend went back to laying around. This was about three or four hours into the excursion, and it seemed like no time had gone by at all. I was getting annoyed...why wasn't I hallucinating? I closed my eyes, and tried to see if I could get any CEV's. Nothing. I was starting to feel very dissapointed. I knew that I was at my peak, but why wasn't I having any hallucinations? Why did I only have a body buzz? The only thing that was cool was the trails I was getting. It looked cool.
I went in and played a video game (the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for PS2). That got old, as I was easily killed many times. So, I let my boyfriend take control and play GTA: Vice City while I went in our room. Still nothing. I was getting annoyed, now, not just bored. I concentrated really hard...and got a visual of rainbow hearts tacked to a wall, and some poodles with really thin string for hair and really big eyes. That was the extent of my visual hallucinations, save for the occasional India-themed image popping up for a split second.
Finally, at about 9am, I just closed my eyes. I know I didn't sleep; I think I went into a trance, but I don't remember anything about it, not even when my boyfriend asked me to switch to the other side of the bed. When I opened my eyes, it was 1:22, a minute before the alarm went off. I felt sober, except I got the body buzz back minorly when I smoked a cigarette.
All in all, I was very disappointed by the experience. I was expecting to trip, not to just plain feel high. Upon discussion with an experienced user of the drug, we decided that the dose wasn't enough. I'm not never going to take LSD again, but I AM rather disappointed. I know that I got more visuals when I took MDMA than that, and that was relatively annoying.

Software Engineer in San Francisco
Like many other budding engineers, I was once scared of Google Chrome’s Debugger (dun dun dun…). There are a number of useful things you can do in the Debugger, one of which is using Snippets and Breakpoints. Snippets are places in the Sources tab where you can paste bits of code to debug. Breakpoints stop time in the function invocation.
Take the following simple example: The Finbonacci sequence is a series of numbers where any number in the sequence is the sum of the previous two numbers, where the sequence starts at 0 and 1. The function nthFibonacci takes a number, n, as an arument and returns the nth number in the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonacci sequence: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 33…
Rewriting the Fibonacci sequence with a(n obvious) bug and setting a breakpoint at line 5.
Setting a breakpoint where the variables are expected to change, for example with every iteration of the for loop, will hone in on where my code could be breaking.
Both within the Scope tab and in the code (where ever is easier for you), you can also watch your variables change. Assigning a breakpoint and pressing the blue play button will allow you to slowly watch the function “play” at every step. Allowing you to find where your expectation of the code is not met. This is useful because pausing inside a multi step function (whether within a for loop or recursive process) allows you to catch the first instance of a miscalculation.
In this Fibonacci sequence example, if n = 5, I expect 5 to be returned. With the code currently written and without the debugger, 16 is returned and I’m left to wonder. But if I watch the growth of the fib array, I can see the sequence numbers are not at all correct! Watching the fib array and the value of i (and of course calculating the i values on line 5), I can see that (oops!) I’ve assigned the nth value of the sequence to be sum of the previous number twice instead of the previous 2 numbers.
Without of course the obvious bug in this simple 7-line algorithm, hopefully you can see the value of the debugger in larger projects. Imagine you have hundreds of lines of code. Give your poor eyeballs a break and let the Debugger find the problem for you.

Washington Withholding $100 Million in Aid to Lebanon, says State Department Official
by JNSYou who dwell in Lebanon, Nestled among the cedars, How much grace will you have When pains come upon you, Travail as in childbirth!Jeremiah 22:23 (The Israel Bible™)
The White House is holding up more than $100 million in security aid to Lebanon, a senior U.S. State Department official said, according to an AFP report on Tuesday.
U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale mentioned the Lebanese aid during questioning in the impeachment inquiry against U.S. President Donald Trump, according to the report.
According to the AFP, in his closed-door deposition on Nov. 6, Hale said that “there was information that came to me starting in late June that a hold had been placed on both Ukraine assistance and Lebanon military assistance without any explanation. It’s still not been released.”
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s parliament postponed a session for a second time on Tuesday due to the ongoing protests in the country, according to the AFP. The parliament was set to discuss laws critics say would allow corrupt politicians to escape justice.
“Revolution, revolution,” chanted the protesters, while waving Lebanese flags. “This parliament is ours,” one woman shouted, according to the report.

Kangnam's father-in-law wants Kangnam to have three children?
by sl278On the November 18 broadcast of 'You Are My Destiny', Kangnam had a chance to bond with his father-in-law. The conversation was very awkward to the point where Kangnam stated in the interview section show that "it was harder than any variety program" he had ever been in.
Kangnam then was astounded when his father in law stated: "Have three kids. If you only have one, they'll be lonely." Kangnam then went on to state: "Two daughters and one son sounds great" in which the father-in-law responded jokingly, "Sons are useless. Daughters are great."
What do you think?

Mark Pittman Remembered : NPR
If you knew Mark Pittamn, you will recognize the outrage in his voice that you hear in this story about him on NPR.
He was that kind of reporter. He had passion. He fought for what he believed was right. He tore into the mid-Hudson Valley where we both worked for the Times Herald-Record back in the mid-1990s. And just like on the police beat, Mark tore into Wall Street. In the end, just before his death last week, Mark and Bloomberg won their lawsuit against the Feds for the details on the bank bail outs.
 He always did. That’s how I will remember him.
Mark reminded us all that nothing is too sacred. Always question authority and share what you learn.
The impacts can be tremendous.

[gecode-users] ask propagator
Mauricio Toro
mauriciotorob at gmail.com
Mon Apr 21 11:28:34 CEST 2008
Hello,
I have some questions about the concurrent constraint programming ask
propagator.
I want to have this behavior:
\textbf{blocking\_IF} $<boolean\_var>\ x0$ \textbf{then} $<ask\_body>\
procedureBody$ \textbf{else} $<skip>$
1) In this propagator would it matter if I use domain
consistency or bounds consistency? which one should I use?
2) I am passing this function void (* procedureBody) (Space*) as an
argument.
If I would like to pass a closure, like an object with an executing
method, instead of the function pointer.
What kind of additional information should I include in the object?
3) What do you think about this header for the Ask Propagator:
/**
* \brief Concurrent Constraint Programming ASK propagator
*
* Requires \code #include "gecode/int/ask.hh" \endcode
* \ingroup FuncIntProp
*/
template <class View>
class Ask : public UnaryPropagator<View,PC_INT_BND> {
protected:
using UnaryPropagator<View,PC_INT_BND>::x0;
/// Constructor for cloning \a p
Ask(Space* home, bool share, Ask& p);
/// Constructor for posting
Ask(Space* home, View x0, void (* procedureBody) (Space*));
public:
/// Copy propagator during cloning
virtual Actor* copy(Space* home, bool share);
/// Perform propagation
virtual ExecStatus propagate(Space* home, ModEventDelta med);
/// Specification for this propagator
virtual Reflection::ActorSpec spec(const Space* home,
Reflection::VarMap& m) const;
/// Post propagator according to specification
static void post(Space* home, Reflection::VarMap& vars,
const Reflection::ActorSpec& spec);
/// Mangled propagator name
static Support::Symbol ati(void);
/// Post bounds-consistent propagator
/// \textbf{blocking\_IF} $<boolean\_var>\ x0$ \textbf{then}
$<ask\_body>\ procedureBody$ \textbf{else} $<skip>$
static ExecStatus post(Space* home, View x0, void (* procedureBody)
(Space*));
};
Thanks for everything.

We are pleased to announce the release of Julia 0.3.0. This release contains numerous improvements across the board from standard library changes to pure performance enhancements as well as an expanded ecosystem of packages as compared to the 0.2 releases. A summary of changes is available in NEWS.md found in our main repository, and binaries are now available on our main download page.
A few notable changes:
System image caching for fast startup.
A pure-Julia REPL was introduced, replacing readline and providing expanded functionality and customization.
The workspace()
function was added, to clear the environment without restarting.
Tab substitution of Latex character codes is now supported in the REPL, IJulia, and several editor environments.
Unicode improvements including expanded operators and NFC normalization.
Multi-process shared memory support. (multi-threading support is in progress and has been a major summer focus)
Improved hashing and floating point range support.
Better tuple performance.
We are now transitioning into the 0.4 development cycle and encourage users to use the 0.3.X line if they need a stable julia environment. Many breaking changes will be entering the environment over the course of the next few months. To reflect this period of change, nightly builds will use the versioning scheme 0.4.0-dev. Once the major breaking changes have been merged and the development cycle progresses towards a stable release, the version will shift to 0.4.0-pre, at which point package authors and users should start to think about transitioning the codebases over to the 0.4.X line.
The release-0.3 branch of the codebase will remain open for bugfixes during this time. We encourage users facing problems to open issues on our GitHub tracker, or email the julia-users mailing list.
Happy coding.
