Code contributions can be made by either contacting David Zemon or forking the repository and creating a pull request. If you'd like to help but don't know how, start by perusing the issue tracker and finding something that piques your interest.
Before submitting your pull request, please be sure to read the following guidelines for %PropWare's codebase.
namespace
struct
s with no visibility keywords are indented once
relative
to class declaration
this->
m_
and use camelCase (such as
m_myVariable
)
enum class MyEnum {...};
should be preferred over typedef enum {...} MyEnum;
.
Exceptions to this rule are, however, frequent. enum class
will be relegated to abstract
concepts which are never or infrequently converted to their ordinal values. "color"s and
"mode"s of operation are often good examples of a sufficiently abstract concept to use
enum class
. “Mode” would be a bad example, though, if the ordinal values represent specific
bits in a register, and those bits need to be accessed frequently. The enum class
is a
method to prevent automatic casting down to an int
. Remember that
standard
enum
s already avoid automatic casting up to the enum.


GOOD WILL HUNTING (Be Gentlemen Limited Partnership / Lawrence Bender Productions / Miramax Films)
MPAA Certification: R Genre: Drama Cast: Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgård Directed by Gus Van Sant
My personal rating: 5+ out of 6
GOOD WILL HUNTING was to me a very warm-hearted, intelligent and well-conceived story of a 20-year-old boy, Will Hunting (Damon), whose skills in mathematics and general science are tremendous. He suffers from a difficult childhood, and together with his friends, he has been involved in robberies, fighting, and vandalism. A mathematics professor, Gerald Lambeau (Skarsgård), discovers Will's abilities, and attempts to make use of him in his mathematical research. But upon realizing that Will is uncooperative and difficult to handle, professor Lambeau persuades Will to see a therapist, Sean Maguire (Williams), who was Lambeau's room-mate in college. Throughout the rest of the movie we follow the growing friendship between Will and Sean, and Will's new-found love, Skylar (Driver). Will Hunting must understand who he really is, and attempt to deal with his past. Only then might he be ready to face the future ...
Ben Affleck (starring Will's friend Chuckie) and Matt Damon has written a very impressive screenplay, and I was not surprised that they snatched an Academy Award for it. Although the story is somewhat predictable (several times we know what the next move will be), I find it charming and quite good. The ending might be a bit slow, but it's surprising and lovely. Robin Williams shows once and for all that he can do drama roles, and Matt Damon is very convincing as Will Hunting. Even the Swedish actor, Skarsgård, seems to do well in Hollywood pictures. His role is very basic and unemotional but not cardboard-like. Generally speaking, all the actors did their part, and brought the movie to a place among the best of 1997.

MIUI 11 coming to the Redmi 4 after all
by GeorgeNews came out in April that Xiaomi will be discontinuing software support for a handful of aging devices, among them the Redmi 4. Apparently, the company's software team has reconsidered, as several forum users are reporting to have received a MIUI 11 update over the air.
The release is named MIUI V<IP_ADDRESS>.NAMMIXM, and weighs in at 483MB. It leaves the phone in its previous Android 7.1.2 state - don't go hoping for a new OS version. The security patch level, meanwhile, is October 2018. Even so, it's still impressive that the two-and-a-half-year-old budget phone is getting the latest version of Xiaomi's proprietary Android overlay.
One of the users to have gotten the update states that it's a preliminary test rollout with the complete rollout to all users to follow a week from now, so don't get too frustrated if you don't have it just yet.

Support get_single_char/1 in PDT console.
This predicate modifies user_input
and user_output
as follows:
- If single-char mode is enabled, write "ESC s" over the user output
and then wait for two characters, returning the first.
- Output is changed to emit ESC as ESC ESC.
This protocol was designed for PDT by Lukas Degener. The original
implementation was partly in Prolog. This is a full C implementation,
both for speed.

Hello, welcome to this simple webpage. This is a project to calculate an Akan name(origin names from Ghanian culture). Frequently in Ghana, children are given their first name as a 'day name' which corresponds to the day in the week they were born.
This is a web application that takes a user's birthday and calculates the day of the week they were born and then depending on their gender outputs their Akan Name. It therefore require the user to input their date of birth,month,year and lastly to select their gender.
These are Male Akan names.

Lego League robotics competition tests creativity
by Stephen CohnMADISON, Wis. - Creativity was on display Saturday at the first Lego League robotics competition.
Fourth- through eighth-grade students across the state took part in the competition at Madison College's Truax Campus.
The students had to find an innovative solution to a problem in communities related to growth of cities. Then they presented their projects and constructed a robot out of Legos to accomplish the mission.
The competition was one of 13 qualifying tournaments for this February's championship.

Like any other business, SourceGear evolves. Today I would like to let the world know about a change that has happened recently here at SourceGear. This change is important but not highly visible to our customers.
As of January 1st, SourceGear has been restructured at the corporate level. Previously, we were "SourceGear Corporation", but now we are "SourceGear LLC". However, the important thing here is not the slight variation in the name, but rather, the major change in ownership.
Back in 1997, the first two people I hired were Dan Schreiber and Corey Steffen. Since then, these two guys have become the backbone of our company. Corey and Dan are the ones who make things happen here at SourceGear. Furthermore, they participate in all major decisions of the company. In the last two years, they have come to function less as my employees and more as my partners. Last fall, I decided it was time that this arrangement be formalized.
It took some time to get all the legal work done, but the deal was completed on January 1st. Instead of being the principal owner of SourceGear, I am now just one of three, and I could not be happier with the change.
Like I said, this change will be mostly invisible to the rest of the world. Corey and Dan are a bit quieter than I am.
Still, this is something I want people to know.


With the end of financial year approaching soon we are running our next showcase around addons that help with budgeting and forecasting.
This month's showcase will focus on 2 solutions Calxa and Cerebiz. We'll have both the developer partners talking about how their add-ons can help you unlock the power from working in the cloud.

Class: ActionMailbox::Base
| Relationships & Source Files | |
| Super Chains via Extension / Inclusion / Inheritance | |

Class Chain:

|
Instance Chain:
|
|
| Inherits: | Object |
| Defined in: | actionmailbox/lib/action_mailbox/base.rb |
Overview
The base class for all application mailboxes. Not intended to be inherited from directly. Inherit from ApplicationMailbox
instead, as that’s where the app-specific routing is configured. This routing is specified in the following ways:
class ApplicationMailbox < ActionMailbox::Base
# Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) are matched against the regexp.
routing /^replies@/i => :replies
# Any of the recipients of the mail (whether to, cc, bcc) needs to be an exact match for the string.
routing<EMAIL_ADDRESS>=> :help
# Any callable (proc, lambda, etc) object is passed the inbound_email record and is a match if true.
routing ->(inbound_email) { inbound_email.mail.to.size > 2 } => :multiple_recipients
# Any object responding to #match? is called with the inbound_email record as an argument. Match if true.
routing CustomAddress.new => :custom
# Any inbound_email that has not been already matched will be sent to the BackstopMailbox.
routing :all => :backstop
end
Application mailboxes need to override the #process method, which is invoked by the framework after callbacks have been run. The callbacks available are: before_processing
, after_processing
, and around_processing
. The primary use case is to ensure that certain preconditions to processing are fulfilled using before_processing
callbacks.
If a precondition fails to be met, you can halt the processing using the #bounced! method, which will silently prevent any further processing, but not actually send out any bounce notice. You can also pair this behavior with the invocation of an Action Mailer class responsible for sending out an actual bounce email. This is done using the #bounce_with method, which takes the mail object returned by an Action Mailer method, like so:
class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
before_processing :ensure_sender_is_a_user
private
def ensure_sender_is_a_user
unless User.exist?(email_address: mail.from)
bounce_with UserRequiredMailer.missing(inbound_email)
end
end
end
During the processing of the inbound email, the status will be tracked. Before processing begins, the email will normally have the pending
status. Once processing begins, just before callbacks and the #process method is called, the status is changed to processing
. If processing is allowed to complete, the status is changed to delivered
. If a bounce is triggered, then bounced
. If an unhandled exception is bubbled up, then failed
.
Exceptions can be handled at the class level using the familiar ::ActiveSupport::Rescuable
approach:
class ForwardsMailbox < ApplicationMailbox
rescue_from(ApplicationSpecificVerificationError) { bounced! }
end

Tern is a stand-alone code-analysis engine for
JavaScript. It is intended to be used with a code
editor plugin to enhance the editor's support for intelligent
JavaScript editing. Features provided are:
- Autocompletion on variables and properties
- Function argument hints
- Querying the type of an expression
- Finding the definition of something
- Automatic refactoring
Tern is open-source (MIT license), written in
JavaScript, and capable of running both
on node.js and in
the browser.
NOTE: This project is looking for a new
maintainer, since the original author no longer has time to work on
it.
Editor plugins
There is currently Tern support for the following editors:
Follow the links to find instructions on how to install the
plugins.
Community and support
There is a discussion
forum for questions and discussion around Tern. For announcements,
such as new releases, there is a
low-volume mailing
list. For reporting bugs, I prefer that you use
the github
issue tracker.
Code contributions are welcome, preferably
through pull
requests.
If you are getting value out of Tern, especially if you are using
it in a for-profit way, consider funding further development by
setting up a
monthly contribution.
The maintainer (Marijn
Haverbeke) is available for Tern-related consulting work.
Current funding status:
Documentation
The reference manual should be your
first stop for figuring out how to use Tern.
If you are interested in the way the system works internally, take
a look at this blog
post or the video
of the talk
I gave about it at the Curry On conference.

The 24” LED Cinema Display costs A$1,499.
The 30” Cinema Display costs A$2,798.
The new 27” iMac costs A$2,199.
For $700 more than the LED Cinema Display you can get the 27” iMac, a powerful computer (more powerful than even the most powerful Mac Mini that costs A$1,399), a larger by 3” display with greater pixel density and a wireless keyboard and mouse.
For $600 more than the 27” iMac you can get a 30” Cinema Display with lower pixel density, inferior CCFL-backlit specifications and you don’t get the computer, keyboard or mouse.
With every new release and update to Apple’s line of computers their line of displays gets further out of sync. The 27” iMac is now the most attractive and almost the best value display option in Apple’s line up.

Juul Halts US Sales of Mint-Flavored Vapes
by ASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON (AP) — Juul Labs said Thursday it will halt U.S. sales of its best-selling, mint-flavored electronic cigarettes as it struggles to survive a nationwide backlash against vaping.
The step comes days after government research showed that Juul is the top brand among high schoolers who use e-cigarettes and that many prefer mint.
“These results are unacceptable,” said the company’s CEO K.C. Crosthwaite, adding in a statement that the company must “earn the trust of society.”
Underage vaping has reached what health officials call epidemic levels. In the latest government survey, 1 in 4 high school students reported using e-cigarettes in the previous month, despite federal law banning sales to people under 18.
Under fire for its role in sparking the vaping craze among teens, Juul has made a series of concessions to try to weather a crackdown from local, state and federal officials. It stopped selling popular fruit and dessert flavors in stores last year, and in October stopped selling them online, too.
Earlier, the company replaced its CEO and pledged to stop advertising its products. For years, Juul has argued that its e-cigarettes are intended to help adult smokers switch to a less harmful nicotine product. But its early marketing campaigns were mainly on social media and featured young, stylish models. The company subsequently shuttered its Facebook and Instagram accounts.
After halting mint sales, Juul will sell only menthol and tobacco flavors. Mint and menthol accounted for nearly 60% of the company’s retail sales in the past year, according to data compiled by Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog.
Fruit, candy, dessert and other flavored e-cigarettes have been targeted because of their appeal to underage users. Federal health officials are expected soon to release plans for removing most vaping flavors from the market, and Juul has said it will comply with that government policy.
In September, President Trump said the flavor ban would include mint and menthol flavors. However, no details have been released, leading vaping opponents to worry that the administration is backing away from its plan.
Representatives for those groups criticized Juul for not also pulling its menthol flavor.
“If they really wanted to keep the kids away, they would also get rid of menthol,” said Meredith Berkman of Parents Against Vaping E-Cigarettes. “We hope the administration will understand that, too — they should be taking menthol off the market.”
Mint and menthol have often been treated interchangeably by vaping researchers.
But a study released Monday suggests menthol doesn’t have the same appeal as mint. The study found that mint was the most popular flavor among Juul users in 10th and 12th grades and the second-most popular among middle-schoolers. In contrast, less than 6% of teenagers across all grades preferred menthol. The study by University of Southern California researchers was based on a survey that included 1,800 Juul users.
Flavors have been banned from traditional cigarettes in the United States since 2009, except for menthol.
San Francisco-based Juul is the best-selling e-cigarette brand in the country. The privately held company has been besieged by legal troubles, including multiple investigations by Congress, federal agencies and several state attorneys general. The company is also being sued by adults and underage Juul users who say they became addicted to nicotine through the company’s products.
At least 350 lawsuits have been filed against Juul this year alone, according to the Courthouse News database.
E-cigarettes typically heat a solution that contains nicotine, which makes cigarettes and e-cigarettes addictive.

Jupiter, upon Achilles' return to the battle, calls a council of the gods, and permits them to assist either party. The terrors of the combat described, when the deities are engaged. Apollo encourages Æneas to meet Achilles. After a long conversation, these two heroes encounter; but Æneas is preserved by the assistance of Neptune. Achilles falls upon the rest of the Trojans, and is upon the point of killing Hector, but Apollo conveys him away in a cloud. Achilles pursues the Trojans with a great slaughter.
The same day continues. The scene is in the field before Troy.
Thus round Pelides breathing war and blood
Greece, sheathed in arms, beside her vessels stood;
While near impending from a neighbouring height,
Troy's black battalions wait the shock of fight.
Then Jove to Themis gives command, to call
The gods to council in the starry hall:
Swift o'er Olympus' hundred hills she flies,
And summons all the senate of the skies.
These shining on, in long procession come
To Jove's eternal adamantine dome.
Not one was absent, not a rural power
That haunts the verdant gloom, or rosy bower;
Each fair–hair'd dryad of the shady wood,
Each azure sister of the silver flood;
All but old Ocean, hoary sire! who keeps
His ancient seat beneath the sacred deeps.
On marble thrones, with lucid columns crown'd,
(The work of Vulcan,) sat the powers around.
Even he whose trident sways the watery reign
Heard the loud summons, and forsook the main,
Assumed his throne amid the bright abodes,
And question'd thus the sire of men and gods:
"What moves the god who heaven and earth commands,
And grasps the thunder in his awful hands,
Thus to convene the whole ethereal state?
Is Greece and Troy the subject in debate?
Already met, the louring hosts appear,
And death stands ardent on the edge of war."
"'Tis true (the cloud–compelling power replies)
This day we call the council of the skies
In care of human race; even Jove's own eye
Sees with regret unhappy mortals die.
Far on Olympus' top in secret state
Ourself will sit, and see the hand of fate
Work out our will. Celestial powers! descend,
And as your minds direct, your succour lend
To either host. Troy soon must lie o'erthrown,
If uncontroll'd Achilles fights alone:
Their troops but lately durst not meet his eyes;
What can they now, if in his rage he rise?
Assist them, gods! or Ilion's sacred wall
May fall this day, though fate forbids the fall."
He said, and fired their heavenly breasts with rage.
On adverse parts the warring gods engage:
Heaven's awful queen; and he whose azure round
Girds the vast globe; the maid in arms renown'd;
Hermes, of profitable arts the sire;
And Vulcan, the black sovereign of the fire:
These to the fleet repair with instant flight;
The vessels tremble as the gods alight.
In aid of Troy, Latona, Phoebus came,
Mars fiery–helm'd, the laughter–loving dame,
Xanthus, whose streams in golden currents flow,
And the chaste huntress of the silver bow.
Ere yet the gods their various aid employ,
Each Argive bosom swell'd with manly joy,
While great Achilles (terror of the plain),
Long lost to battle, shone in arms again.

But when the powers descending swell'd the fight,
Then tumult rose: fierce rage and pale affright
Varied each face: then Discord sounds alarms,
Earth echoes, and the nations rush to arms.
Now through the trembling shores Minerva calls,
And now she thunders from the Grecian walls.
Mars hovering o'er his Troy, his terror shrouds
In gloomy tempests, and a night of clouds:
Now through each Trojan heart he fury pours
With voice divine, from Ilion's topmost towers:
Now shouts to Simois, from her beauteous hill;
The mountain shook, the rapid stream stood still.
Above, the sire of gods his thunder rolls,
And peals on peals redoubled rend the poles.
Beneath, stern Neptune shakes the solid ground;
The forests wave, the mountains nod around;
Through all their summits tremble Ida's woods,
And from their sources boil her hundred floods.
Troy's turrets totter on the rocking plain,
And the toss'd navies beat the heaving main.
Deep in the dismal regions of the dead,
The infernal monarch rear'd his horrid head,
Leap'd from his throne, lest Neptune's arm should lay
His dark dominions open to the day,
And pour in light on Pluto's drear abodes,
Abhorr'd by men, and dreadful even to gods.
Such war the immortals wage; such horrors rend
The world's vast concave, when the gods contend
First silver–shafted Phoebus took the plain
Against blue Neptune, monarch of the main.
The god of arms his giant bulk display'd,
Opposed to Pallas, war's triumphant maid.
Against Latona march'd the son of May.
The quiver'd Dian, sister of the day,
(Her golden arrows sounding at her side,)
Saturnia, majesty of heaven, defied.
With fiery Vulcan last in battle stands
The sacred flood that rolls on golden sands;
Xanthus his name with those of heavenly birth,
But called Scamander by the sons of earth.
While thus the gods in various league engage,
Achilles glow'd with more than mortal rage:
Hector he sought; in search of Hector turn'd
His eyes around, for Hector only burn'd;
And burst like lightning through the ranks, and vow'd
To glut the god of battles with his blood.
Æneas was the first who dared to stay;
Apollo wedged him in the warrior's way,
But swell'd his bosom with undaunted might,
Half–forced and half–persuaded to the fight.
Like young Lycaon, of the royal line,
In voice and aspect, seem'd the power divine;
And bade the chief reflect, how late with scorn
In distant threats he braved the goddess–born.
Then thus the hero of Anchises' strain:
"To meet Pelides you persuade in vain:
Already have I met, nor void of fear
Observed the fury of his flying spear;
From Ida's woods he chased us to the field,
Our force he scattered, and our herds he kill'd;
Lyrnessus, Pedasus in ashes lay;
But (Jove assisting) I survived the day:
Else had I sunk oppress'd in fatal fight
By fierce Achilles and Minerva's might.
Where'er he moved, the goddess shone before,
And bathed his brazen lance in hostile gore.
What mortal man Achilles can sustain?
The immortals guard him through the dreadful plain,
And suffer not his dart to fall in vain.
Were God my aid, this arm should check his power,
Though strong in battle as a brazen tower."
To whom the son of Jove: "That god implore,
And be what great Achilles was before.
From heavenly Venus thou deriv'st thy strain,
And he but from a sister of the main;
An aged sea–god father of his line;
But Jove himself the sacred source of thine.
Then lift thy weapon for a noble blow,
Nor fear the vaunting of a mortal foe."
This said, and spirit breathed into his breast,
Through the thick troops the embolden'd hero press'd:
His venturous act the white–arm'd queen survey'd,
And thus, assembling all the powers, she said:
"Behold an action, gods! that claims your care,
Lo great Æneas rushing to the war!
Against Pelides he directs his course,
Phoebus impels, and Phoebus gives him force.
Restrain his bold career; at least, to attend
Our favour'd hero, let some power descend.
To guard his life, and add to his renown,
We, the great armament of heaven, came down.
Hereafter let him fall, as Fates design,
That spun so short his life's illustrious line:
But lest some adverse god now cross his way,
Give him to know what powers assist this day:
For how shall mortal stand the dire alarms,
When heaven's refulgent host appear in arms?"
Thus she; and thus the god whose force can make
The solid globe's eternal basis shake:
"Against the might of man, so feeble known,
Why should celestial powers exert their own?
Suffice from yonder mount to view the scene,
And leave to war the fates of mortal men.
But if the armipotent, or god of light,
Obstruct Achilles, or commence the fight.
Thence on the gods of Troy we swift descend:
Full soon, I doubt not, shall the conflict end;
And these, in ruin and confusion hurl'd,
Yield to our conquering arms the lower world."
Thus having said, the tyrant of the sea,
Coerulean Neptune, rose, and led the way.
Advanced upon the field there stood a mound
Of earth congested, wall'd, and trench'd around;
In elder times to guard Alcides made,
(The work of Trojans, with Minerva's aid,)
What time a vengeful monster of the main
Swept the wide shore, and drove him to the plain.
Here Neptune and the gods of Greece repair,
With clouds encompass'd, and a veil of air:
The adverse powers, around Apollo laid,
Crown the fair hills that silver Simois shade.
In circle close each heavenly party sat,
Intent to form the future scheme of fate;
But mix not yet in fight, though Jove on high
Gives the loud signal, and the heavens reply.
Meanwhile the rushing armies hide the ground;
The trampled centre yields a hollow sound:
Steeds cased in mail, and chiefs in armour bright,
The gleaming champaign glows with brazen light.
Amid both hosts (a dreadful space) appear,
There great Achilles; bold Æneas, here.
With towering strides Æneas first advanced;
The nodding plumage on his helmet danced:
Spread o'er his breast the fencing shield he bore,
And, so he moved, his javelin flamed before.
Not so Pelides; furious to engage,
He rush'd impetuous. Such the lion's rage,
Who viewing first his foes with scornful eyes,
Though all in arms the peopled city rise,
Stalks careless on, with unregarding pride;
Till at the length, by some brave youth defied,
To his bold spear the savage turns alone,
He murmurs fury with a hollow groan;
He grins, he foams, he rolls his eyes around
Lash'd by his tail his heaving sides resound;
He calls up all his rage; he grinds his teeth,
Resolved on vengeance, or resolved on death.
So fierce Achilles on Æneas flies;
So stands Æneas, and his force defies.
Ere yet the stern encounter join'd, begun
The seed of Thetis thus to Venus' son:
"Why comes Æneas through the ranks so far?
Seeks he to meet Achilles' arm in war,
In hope the realms of Priam to enjoy,
And prove his merits to the throne of Troy?
Grant that beneath thy lance Achilles dies,
The partial monarch may refuse the prize;
Sons he has many; those thy pride may quell:
And 'tis his fault to love those sons too well,
Or, in reward of thy victorious hand,
Has Troy proposed some spacious tract of land
An ample forest, or a fair domain,
Of hills for vines, and arable for grain?
Even this, perhaps, will hardly prove thy lot.
But can Achilles be so soon forgot?
Once (as I think) you saw this brandish'd spear
And then the great Æneas seem'd to fear:
With hearty haste from Ida's mount he fled,
Nor, till he reach'd Lyrnessus, turn'd his head.
Her lofty walls not long our progress stay'd;
Those, Pallas, Jove, and we, in ruins laid:
In Grecian chains her captive race were cast;
'Tis true, the great Æneas fled too fast.
Defrauded of my conquest once before,
What then I lost, the gods this day restore.
Go; while thou may'st, avoid the threaten'd fate;
Fools stay to feel it, and are wise too late."
To this Anchises' son: "Such words employ
To one that fears thee, some unwarlike boy;
Such we disdain; the best may be defied
With mean reproaches, and unmanly pride;
Unworthy the high race from which we came
Proclaim'd so loudly by the voice of fame:
Each from illustrious fathers draws his line;
Each goddess–born; half human, half divine.
Thetis' this day, or Venus' offspring dies,
And tears shall trickle from celestial eyes:
For when two heroes, thus derived, contend,
'Tis not in words the glorious strife can end.
If yet thou further seek to learn my birth
(A tale resounded through the spacious earth)
Hear how the glorious origin we prove
From ancient Dardanus, the first from Jove:
Dardania's walls he raised; for Ilion, then,
(The city since of many–languaged men,)
Was not. The natives were content to till
The shady foot of Ida's fountful hill.
From Dardanus great Erichthonius springs,
The richest, once, of Asia's wealthy kings;
Three thousand mares his spacious pastures bred,
Three thousand foals beside their mothers fed.
Boreas, enamour'd of the sprightly train,
Conceal'd his godhead in a flowing mane,
With voice dissembled to his loves he neigh'd,
And coursed the dappled beauties o'er the mead:
Hence sprung twelve others of unrivall'd kind,
Swift as their mother mares, and father wind.
These lightly skimming, when they swept the plain,
Nor plied the grass, nor bent the tender grain;
And when along the level seas they flew,
Scarce on the surface curl'd the briny dew.
Such Erichthonius was: from him there came
The sacred Tros, of whom the Trojan name.
Three sons renown'd adorn'd his nuptial bed,
Ilus, Assaracus, and Ganymed:
The matchless Ganymed, divinely fair,
Whom heaven, enamour'd, snatch'd to upper air,
To bear the cup of Jove (ethereal guest,
The grace and glory of the ambrosial feast).
The two remaining sons the line divide:
First rose Laomedon from Ilus' side;
From him Tithonus, now in cares grown old,
And Priam, bless'd with Hector, brave and bold;
Clytius and Lampus, ever–honour'd pair;
And Hicetaon, thunderbolt of war.
From great Assaracus sprang Capys, he
Begat Anchises, and Anchises me.
Such is our race: 'tis fortune gives us birth,
But Jove alone endues the soul with worth:
He, source of power and might! with boundless sway,
All human courage gives, or takes away.
Long in the field of words we may contend,
Reproach is infinite, and knows no end,
Arm'd or with truth or falsehood, right or wrong;
So voluble a weapon is the tongue;
Wounded, we wound; and neither side can fail,
For every man has equal strength to rail:
Women alone, when in the streets they jar,
Perhaps excel us in this wordy war;
Like us they stand, encompass'd with the crowd,
And vent their anger impotent and loud.
Cease then—Our business in the field of fight
Is not to question, but to prove our might.
To all those insults thou hast offer'd here,
Receive this answer: 'tis my flying spear."
He spoke. With all his force the javelin flung,
Fix'd deep, and loudly in the buckler rung.
Far on his outstretch'd arm, Pelides held
(To meet the thundering lance) his dreadful shield,
That trembled as it stuck; nor void of fear
Saw, ere it fell, the immeasurable spear.
His fears were vain; impenetrable charms
Secured the temper of the ethereal arms.
Through two strong plates the point its passage held,
But stopp'd, and rested, by the third repell'd.
Five plates of various metal, various mould,
Composed the shield; of brass each outward fold,
Of tin each inward, and the middle gold:
There stuck the lance. Then rising ere he threw,
The forceful spear of great Achilles flew,
And pierced the Dardan shield's extremest bound,
Where the shrill brass return'd a sharper sound:
Through the thin verge the Pelean weapon glides,
And the slight covering of expanded hides.
Æneas his contracted body bends,
And o'er him high the riven targe extends,
Sees, through its parting plates, the upper air,
And at his back perceives the quivering spear:
A fate so near him, chills his soul with fright;
And swims before his eyes the many–colour'd light.
Achilles, rushing in with dreadful cries,
Draws his broad blade, and at Æneas flies:
Æneas rousing as the foe came on,
With force collected, heaves a mighty stone:
A mass enormous! which in modern days
No two of earth's degenerate sons could raise.
But ocean's god, whose earthquakes rock the ground.
Saw the distress, and moved the powers around:
"Lo! on the brink of fate Æneas stands,
An instant victim to Achilles' hands;
By Phoebus urged; but Phoebus has bestow'd
His aid in vain: the man o'erpowers the god.
And can ye see this righteous chief atone
With guiltless blood for vices not his own?
To all the gods his constant vows were paid;
Sure, though he wars for Troy, he claims our aid.
Fate wills not this; nor thus can Jove resign
The future father of the Dardan line:
The first great ancestor obtain'd his grace,
And still his love descends on all the race:
For Priam now, and Priam's faithless kind,
At length are odious to the all–seeing mind;
On great Æneas shall devolve the reign,
And sons succeeding sons the lasting line sustain."
The great earth–shaker thus: to whom replies
The imperial goddess with the radiant eyes:
"Good as he is, to immolate or spare
The Dardan prince, O Neptune! be thy care;
Pallas and I, by all that gods can bind,
Have sworn destruction to the Trojan kind;
Not even an instant to protract their fate,
Or save one member of the sinking state;
Till her last flame be quench'd with her last gore,
And even her crumbling ruins are no more."
The king of ocean to the fight descends,
Through all the whistling darts his course he bends,
Swift interposed between the warrior flies,
And casts thick darkness o'er Achilles' eyes.
From great Æneas' shield the spear he drew,
And at his master's feet the weapon threw.
That done, with force divine he snatch'd on high
The Dardan prince, and bore him through the sky,
Smooth–gliding without step, above the heads
Of warring heroes, and of bounding steeds:
Till at the battle's utmost verge they light,
Where the slow Caucans close the rear of fight.
The godhead there (his heavenly form confess'd)
With words like these the panting chief address'd:
"What power, O prince! with force inferior far,
Urged thee to meet Achilles' arm in war?
Henceforth beware, nor antedate thy doom,
Defrauding fate of all thy fame to come.
But when the day decreed (for come it must)
Shall lay this dreadful hero in the dust,
Let then the furies of that arm be known,
Secure no Grecian force transcends thy own."
With that, he left him wondering as he lay,
Then from Achilles chased the mist away:
Sudden, returning with a stream of light,
The scene of war came rushing on his sight.
Then thus, amazed; "What wonders strike my mind!
My spear, that parted on the wings of wind,
Laid here before me! and the Dardan lord,
That fell this instant, vanish'd from my sword!
I thought alone with mortals to contend,
But powers celestial sure this foe defend.
Great as he is, our arms he scarce will try,
Content for once, with all his gods, to fly.
Now then let others bleed." This said, aloud
He vents his fury and inflames the crowd:
"O Greeks! (he cries, and every rank alarms)
Join battle, man to man, and arms to arms!
'Tis not in me, though favour'd by the sky,
To mow whole troops, and make whole armies fly:
No god can singly such a host engage,
Not Mars himself, nor great Minerva's rage.
But whatsoe'er Achilles can inspire,
Whate'er of active force, or acting fire;
Whate'er this heart can prompt, or hand obey;
All, all Achilles, Greeks! is yours to–day.
Through yon wide host this arm shall scatter fear,
And thin the squadrons with my single spear."
He said: nor less elate with martial joy,
The godlike Hector warm'd the troops of Troy:
"Trojans, to war! Think, Hector leads you on;
Nor dread the vaunts of Peleus' haughty son.
Deeds must decide our fate. E'en these with words
Insult the brave, who tremble at their swords:
The weakest atheist–wretch all heaven defies,
But shrinks and shudders when the thunder flies.
Nor from yon boaster shall your chief retire,
Not though his heart were steel, his hands were fire;
That fire, that steel, your Hector should withstand,
And brave that vengeful heart, that dreadful hand."
Thus (breathing rage through all) the hero said;
A wood of lances rises round his head,
Clamours on clamours tempest all the air,
They join, they throng, they thicken to the war.
But Phoebus warns him from high heaven to shun
The single fight with Thetis' godlike son;
More safe to combat in the mingled band,
Nor tempt too near the terrors of his hand.
He hears, obedient to the god of light,
And, plunged within the ranks, awaits the fight.
Then fierce Achilles, shouting to the skies,
On Troy's whole force with boundless fury flies.
First falls Iphytion, at his army's head;
Brave was the chief, and brave the host he led;
From great Otrynteus he derived his blood,
His mother was a Nais, of the flood;
Beneath the shades of Tmolus, crown'd with snow,
From Hyde's walls he ruled the lands below.
Fierce as he springs, the sword his head divides:
The parted visage falls on equal sides:
With loud–resounding arms he strikes the plain;
While thus Achilles glories o'er the slain:
"Lie there, Otryntides! the Trojan earth
Receives thee dead, though Gygae boast thy birth;
Those beauteous fields where Hyllus' waves are roll'd,
And plenteous Hermus swells with tides of gold,
Are thine no more."—The insulting hero said,
And left him sleeping in eternal shade.
The rolling wheels of Greece the body tore,
And dash'd their axles with no vulgar gore.
Demoleon next, Antenor's offspring, laid
Breathless in dust, the price of rashness paid.
The impatient steel with full–descending sway
Forced through his brazen helm its furious way,
Resistless drove the batter'd skull before,
And dash'd and mingled all the brains with gore.
This sees Hippodamas, and seized with fright,
Deserts his chariot for a swifter flight:
The lance arrests him: an ignoble wound
The panting Trojan rivets to the ground.
He groans away his soul: not louder roars,
At Neptune's shrine on Helice's high shores,
The victim bull; the rocks re–bellow round,
And ocean listens to the grateful sound.
Then fell on Polydore his vengeful rage,
The youngest hope of Priam's stooping age:
(Whose feet for swiftness in the race surpass'd:)
Of all his sons, the dearest, and the last.
To the forbidden field he takes his flight,
In the first folly of a youthful knight,
To vaunt his swiftness wheels around the plain,
But vaunts not long, with all his swiftness slain:
Struck where the crossing belts unite behind,
And golden rings the double back–plate join'd
Forth through the navel burst the thrilling steel;
And on his knees with piercing shrieks he fell;
The rushing entrails pour'd upon the ground
His hands collect; and darkness wraps him round.
When Hector view'd, all ghastly in his gore,
Thus sadly slain the unhappy Polydore,
A cloud of sorrow overcast his sight,
His soul no longer brook'd the distant fight:
Full in Achilles' dreadful front he came,
And shook his javelin like a waving flame.
The son of Peleus sees, with joy possess'd,
His heart high–bounding in his rising breast.
"And, lo! the man on whom black fates attend;
The man, that slew Achilles, is his friend!
No more shall Hector's and Pelides' spear
Turn from each other in the walks of war."—
Then with revengeful eyes he scann'd him o'er:
"Come, and receive thy fate!" He spake no more.
Hector, undaunted, thus: "Such words employ
To one that dreads thee, some unwarlike boy:
Such we could give, defying and defied,
Mean intercourse of obloquy and pride!
I know thy force to mine superior far;
But heaven alone confers success in war:
Mean as I am, the gods may guide my dart,
And give it entrance in a braver heart."
Then parts the lance: but Pallas' heavenly breath
Far from Achilles wafts the winged death:
The bidden dart again to Hector flies,
And at the feet of its great master lies.
Achilles closes with his hated foe,
His heart and eyes with flaming fury glow:
But present to his aid, Apollo shrouds
The favour'd hero in a veil of clouds.
Thrice struck Pelides with indignant heart,
Thrice in impassive air he plunged the dart;
The spear a fourth time buried in the cloud.
He foams with fury, and exclaims aloud:
"Wretch! thou hast 'scaped again; once more thy flight
Has saved thee, and the partial god of light.
But long thou shalt not thy just fate withstand,
If any power assist Achilles' hand.
Fly then inglorious! but thy flight this day
Whole hecatombs of Trojan ghosts shall pay."
With that, he gluts his rage on numbers slain:
Then Dryops tumbled to the ensanguined plain,
Pierced through the neck: he left him panting there,
And stopp'd Demuchus, great Philetor's heir.
Gigantic chief! deep gash'd the enormous blade,
And for the soul an ample passage made.
Laoganus and Dardanus expire,
The valiant sons of an unhappy sire;
Both in one instant from the chariot hurl'd,
Sunk in one instant to the nether world:
This difference only their sad fates afford
That one the spear destroy'd, and one the sword.
Nor less unpitied, young Alastor bleeds;
In vain his youth, in vain his beauty pleads;
In vain he begs thee, with a suppliant's moan,
To spare a form, an age so like thy own!
Unhappy boy! no prayer, no moving art,
E'er bent that fierce, inexorable heart!
While yet he trembled at his knees, and cried,
The ruthless falchion oped his tender side;
The panting liver pours a flood of gore
That drowns his bosom till he pants no more.
Through Mulius' head then drove the impetuous spear:
The warrior falls, transfix'd from ear to ear.

Then brave Deucalion died: the dart was flung
Where the knit nerves the pliant elbow strung;
He dropp'd his arm, an unassisting weight,
And stood all impotent, expecting fate:
Full on his neck the falling falchion sped,
From his broad shoulders hew'd his crested head:
Forth from the bone the spinal marrow flies,
And, sunk in dust, the corpse extended lies.
Rhigmas, whose race from fruitful Thracia came,
(The son of Pierus, an illustrious name,)
Succeeds to fate: the spear his belly rends;
Prone from his car the thundering chief descends.
The squire, who saw expiring on the ground
His prostrate master, rein'd the steeds around;
His back, scarce turn'd, the Pelian javelin gored,
And stretch'd the servant o'er his dying lord.

High o'er the scene of death Achilles stood,
All grim with dust, all horrible in blood:
Yet still insatiate, still with rage on flame;
Such is the lust of never–dying fame!

ZIP: 205 Title: Deployment of the Sapling Network Upgrade Owners: Daira Emma Hopwood<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Credits: Simon Liu Status: Final Category: Consensus / Network Created: 2018-10-08 License: MIT
The key words "MUST" and "SHOULD" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. 1
The terms "consensus branch" and "network upgrade" in this document are to be interpreted as described in ZIP 200. 7
The terms "Testnet" and "Mainnet" are to be interpreted as described in section 3.12 of the Zcash Protocol Specification 3.
The terms below are to be interpreted as follows:
This proposal defines the deployment of the Sapling network upgrade. In addition, it describes a hard fork that occurred on Testnet to allow "minimum-difficulty" blocks.
The primary sources of information about Sapling consensus protocol changes are:
The network handshake and peer management mechanisms defined in 8 also apply to this upgrade.
The following network upgrade constants 7 are defined for the Sapling upgrade:
0x76b809bb
Testnet: 280000
Mainnet: 419200
On Testnet, Sapling had activated prior to this height, but that consensus branch was rolled back. A subsequent hard fork occurred on Testnet, changing the difficulty algorithm to accept "minimum-difficulty" blocks under certain conditions starting at block height 299188.
On both Mainnet and Testnet, Sapling-compatible nodes MUST advertise protocol version 170007 or later. The minimum peer protocol version that Sapling-compatible nodes will connect to, remains 170002.
Pre-Sapling nodes are defined as nodes advertising a protocol version less than 170007.
Approximately three days (defined in terms of block height) before the Sapling activation height, Sapling-compatible nodes will change the behaviour of their peer connection logic in order to prefer pre-Sapling peers for eviction from the set of peer connections.
/** The period before a network upgrade activates, where connections to upgrading peers are preferred (in blocks). */ static const int NETWORK_UPGRADE_PEER_PREFERENCE_BLOCK_PERIOD = 24 * 24 * 3;
The implementation is similar to that for Overwinter which was described in 8.
Once Sapling activates on Testnet or Mainnet, Sapling nodes SHOULD take steps to:
Section 7.6.3 of the Zcash Protocol Specification 5 describes the algorithm used to adjust the difficulty of a block (defined in terms of a "target threshold") based on the nTime
and nBits
fields of preceding blocks.
This algorithm changed on Testnet, starting from block 299188, to allow "minimum-difficulty" blocks. If the block time of a block from this height onward is greater than 15 minutes after that of the preceding block, then the block is a minimum-difficulty block. In that case its nBits
field MUST be set to ToCompact(PoWLimit), where PoWLimit is the value defined for Testnet in section 5.3 of the Zcash Protocol Specification 4, and ToCompact is as defined in section 7.7.4 of that specification 6.
Note: a previous revision of this ZIP incorrectly said that only the target threshold of minimum-difficulty blocks is affected. In fact the nBits
field is modified as well, and this affects difficulty adjustment for subsequent blocks.
This change does not affect Mainnet.
Prior to the network upgrade activating, Sapling and pre-Sapling nodes are compatible and can connect to each other. However, Sapling nodes will have a preference for connecting to other Sapling nodes, so pre-Sapling nodes will gradually be disconnected in the run up to activation.
Once the network upgrades, even though pre-Sapling nodes can still accept the numerically larger protocol version used by Sapling as being valid, Sapling nodes will always disconnect peers using lower protocol versions.
Support for Sapling consensus rules was implemented in zcashd version 2.0.0. The majority of support for RPC calls and persistence of Sapling z-addresses was implemented in version 2.0.1. Both of these versions advertise protocol version 170007.

Starship Troopers Reviewed by Michael A. Turton<EMAIL_ADDRESS>_Starship Troopers_ proves once again that nothing debases good sci-fi faster than contact with a Hollywood director. The merest glance at this multimillion-dollar clunker shows that the reasons for Hollywood's inability to do science fiction are not technical. Rather, they lie in the impoverished vision and formulaic storytelling that have come to dominate filmmaking in Southern California.
Inspired by Robert Heinlein's classic adolescent sci-fi novel, _Starship Troopers_ tells the story of a group of young men and women who volunteer to fight the Bugs, aliens who have taken to launching meteors full of their spores into human space to colonize human worlds. On this absurd premise (not Heinlein's; he had a much richer storytelling gift) is hung a predictable storyline and buckets of expensive but unimaginative special effects, as well as some gratuitous breasts.
There's no denying that the combat scenes are graphic, with people ripped in half, limbs chopped off and blood everywhere, yet one cannot help but feel that the gore is there to shock, and not out of some commitment to artistic integrity, however hollow. This is because the combat itself is so unbelievable. Although the humans have warp drive, they have no artillery. In fact, they appear to have forgotten a couple of thousand years of military tactics and technology, for they have no area weapons, indirect fire weapons, small arms larger than an automatic rifle, guided missiles, flamethrowers, delayed action bombs or tactical air support, never mind biological and chemical weapons. Tactical communications are limited to a shouted voice. Yet during training they practice with energy weapons that are capable of blowing off heads. Why aren't they used in combat? Instead, the soldiers of the future face their enemies with grenades, automatic rifles, and miniature nuclear weapons (from which they are not shielded), as well as some gratuitous breasts.
There are numerous other problems as well. Ships in space in formation are much too close and it is clear from the positions of ships in the fleet and the controls of individual ships that the designers never learned to think in three dimensions (contrast the level flight of the ships with the far more realistic space combat scenes in _Babylon 5_). All planets have blue skies and ecologies which consist of only two species, humans and bugs, both colonizers from elsewhere. A meteor launched from the other side of the galaxy zeroes in on a city on earth. In reality, any such object would have had to have been launched when our ancestors had not yet become Homo Sapiens. The human political situation is vague at best. How many colonies are there? Where are they? We are told only that democracy failed and the military took over to stabilize society. There are some glimpses of the government, particular of savage punishments, but Heinlein's vision of a society based on individual responsibility is recast as a quasifacist police state. The violence sadly remains true to its Hollywood roots, with guns that never jam or need ammunition, main characters who have a superhuman ability to function regardless of injury. and acting that would shame the homecoming play at high school. Fortunately there is a varied collection of gratuitous breasts.
The Bugs themselves are visually interesting, but they suffer from the same kinds of inconsistencies which plague the movie in general. Although we are told that they are not individuals as we are, they bicker and snarl amongst themselves like mammalian predators jockeying for position in the pride. The "Brain" bug eats human brains by sucking them from the skull, presumably to find out what we think. How it gets any information from crushed and mangled alien proteins is a mystery. Perhaps it should have tried the gratuitous breasts.
The storyline, which tracks the volunteers from high school to through training into combat, eliminates the sentimental masculine melodrama that makes the original novel such a favorite of young males. It too lives in the eternal Now. One recruit says he joined to go career and become and officer; later he turns down a leadership position on the grounds that he just wants to fight; later still he shows up as an NCO. The characters are almost totally inhuman in their response to the death around them. They seem to feel neither sadness, relief nor anger. Rico is never shown having any serious emotional reaction to the death of his parents. Heinlein's original story is underpinned by a complex web of relationships among the military officers who dominate Rico's career, but these are gone from the film, as is his vision of an ethnically-mixed society, for everyone in _Starship Troopers_ is either white or black (this being Hollywood, the hero is a blue-eyed blond). The boy-has-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-finds-girl plot that stitches the story together is advanced by the too-convenient death of romantic distractions, as well as some gratuitous breasts.
New faces give the movie whatever appeal it may have. The actress playing Carmen Ibanez has the loveliest smile to grace the big screen in ages. And of course Disi twice bares a pair of fine gratuitous breasts.
Both as a movie and as an SF story, _Starship Troopers_ is an offensive failure. I give it 1 star out of 5. Not worth renting, even for the gratuitous breasts.

 So I approached Hedwig and the Angry Inch with great trepidation, even though the film had already garnered accolades from numerous festivals around the world, including the Audience and Director's Awards at Sundance. But Dancer in the Dark took home the top trophies at Cannes, so that shows you how much festival folks know about musicals.
Rouge was everything Hedwig is not: annoying, pretentious, spastic and more about the director than the characters. Not only is it the best musical I've ever seen, it's the best new film I've seen so far this year (Apocalypse Now Redux doesn't count). Hedwig's songs stuck with me for days, and somebody will literally have to cause me bodily harm to harvest the soundtrack from my CD player.
Granted, I'm not ready to run out to the store to buy The Sound of Music, but I am ready to lavish writer/director/star John Cameron Mitchell with heaps and heaps of over-the-top praise. He stars as the eponymous Hedwig, who we first see performing with his band (The Angry Inch) at a St Louis restaurant before a handful of groupies and several dozen surprised dinner patrons. They're just not the typical entertainment you'd expect to see at a family eatery, and Hedwig's shocking lyrics about his crazy adventures are enough to redden even the most jaded cheeks.
Hedwig, we learn, is in the midst of a lawsuit pitting himself against Rolling Stone Artist of the Year and MTV darling Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt, Dawson's Creek). The two were, at one time, in a very close relationship that saw Hedwig pen the songs that made Tommy a star. Not only did Tommy kick Hedwig to the curb, he didn't credit him on his multi-platinum album, either. Hedwig's manager, Phyllis Stein (SCTV's Andrea Martin), has the band following Tommy's sold-out tour around the country, but instead of playing to packed arenas, they're stuck in a chain of Bilgewater's seafood restaurants.
As Hedwig's tour continues, his songs (and occasional narration) explain his life's story from his origin in East Germany through a botched sex change operation (hence the title) prompted by a black sugar daddy (literally) and a move to the United States.  He likens himself to the old, divided Germany - incomplete and stuck in limbo between male and female.
Cameron, who could be Rachel Griffiths' twin brother, is completely believable in this role, and some will be floored to learn he isn't really a cross-dressing East German with a tiny lump of flesh where his penis used to be. Apparently, the inspiration for the film was a German babysitter Cameron knew when he was a teenager in Kansas. Years later, he created the off-Broadway play that eventually became this film. Even though he performed as Hedwig for several years on stage, Cameron's performance is still amazing, and his skills as a director should be commended, as well.
Hedwig could become America's newest sing-a-long cult musical, in the vein of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's goofy and sincere, and I'm not sure I've ever seen a film that is both to the degree that Hedwig is. And the music, which was written by Stephen Trask, is some of the best stuff you'll hear this year, assuming you dig the whole T.Rex/Bowie/Iggy Pop/Lou Reed thing (Bob Mould plays lead guitar on each number).
