Recently, reading Growing Object Oriented Software Guided Tests, written by Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce, it reminded me of a project I worked on a while ago. It was a one year old system, poorly tested, integrating to a handful of other systems, and the code-base... well I prefer not to remember. Despite this scenario, I joined the team to help them implement some new functionalities.
I remember sometimes it was difficult to write tests, the classes were tightly coupled, with no clear responsibilities, several attributes, bloated constructors, etc. And despite our best effort, working around the bits that were preventing us from writing the tests, we felt we were getting down the wrong road, trying to do it in such a crappy code-base. As a result some of our tests were massive!
What have I learned?
Reading one of the book chapters I learned that the same qualities that makes an object easy to test also makes the code responsive to change. In my situation, the tests were telling me how clumsy the code was and how difficult it would be to extend it.
I also learned that when we come across a functionality that is difficult to test, asking ourselves how to test it is not enough, we also have to ask why is it difficult to test, and check whether it's an opportunity to improve our code. The trick is to do it driven by tests, so we can get rapid feedback on code's internal qualities and on whether it's doing what it's supposed to do.
So they introduced a variation for the well-known TDD cycle— "Write a failing test" => "Make the test pass" => "Refactor". As described on the figure below (extracted from the book), if we're finding it hard to write the next failing test for our application, we should look again at the design of the production code and often refactor it before moving on, until we get to the point that we can write tests that reads well.

An Example of a Smell Tests Might Be Telling You
Reference data rather than behavior
When applying "Tell Don't Ask" or "Law of Demeter" consistently, we end up with a coding style where we tend to pass behavior into the system instead of pulling values up through the stack. So picking up the famous Paperboy example, before refactoring the code applying the "Law of Demeter" the code and test would look something along the lines of the snippet showed below.
class Paperboy
def collect_money(customer, due_amount)
if due_amount > customer.wallet.cash
raise InsuficientFundsError
else
customer.wallet.cash -= due_amount
@total_collected += due_amount
end
end
end
it "should collect money from customer" do
customer = Customer.new :wallet => Wallet.new(:amount => 200)
paperboy = Paperboy.new
paperboy.total_collected.should == 0
paperboy.collect_money(customer, 50)
customer.wallet.cash.should == 150
paperboy.total_collected.should == 50
end
We can easily see that the test is telling us it knows too much detail about Customer class implementation. We can see its internals, which objects it's related to, and even worse, we're also exposing implementation details of its peers. So it's clear for me that it needs some design improvement. My main goal here is to hide Customer implementation details from the users of the Paperboy class. Which means that I don't wanna see anything but Customer and Moneyclasses referenced on the test!
class Paperboy
def collect_money(customer, due_amount)
@collected_amount += customer.pay(due_amount)
end
end
it "should collect money from customer" do
customer = Customer.new :total_cash => 200
paperboy = Paperboy.new
paperboy.total_collected.should == 0
paperboy.collect_money(customer, 50)
customer.total_cash.should == 150
paperboy.total_collected.should == 50
end
The method customer.pay(due_amount)
wraps all the implementation detail up behind a single call. The client of paperboy no longer needs to know anything about the types in the chain. We've reduced the risk that a design change might cause ripples in remote parts of the codebase.
As well as hiding information, there's a more subtle benefit from "Tell, Don't Ask." It forces us to make explicit and so name the interactions between objects, rather than leaving them implicit in the chain of getters. The shorter version above is much clearer about what it's for, not just how it happens to be implemented.
All the logic necessary to collect the money is inside the Customer
object, so it doesn't have to expose its state to its peers.
Now it's safer to continue writing new failing tests to our objects. Remember, listen to the tests!

--- title: Boundary Plots sidebar: documentation_sidebar permalink: BoundaryPlots.html folder: documentation toc: false ---
Here we describe how to visualize grain boundary properties, e.g., misorientation angle, misorientation axes. Therefore lets start by importing some EBSD data and reconstructing the grain structure.
{% highlight matlab %} close all; plotx2east % import the data mtexdata forsterite % restrict it to a subregion of interest. ebsd = ebsd(inpolygon(ebsd,[5 2 10 5]*10^3)); [grains,ebsd.grainId] = calcGrains(ebsd('indexed')); % remove very small grains ebsd(grains(grains.grainSize<=5)) = []; % and recompute grains [grains,ebsd.grainId] = calcGrains(ebsd('indexed')); % smooth the grains a bit grains = smooth(grains,4); {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} ebsd = EBSD Phase Orientations Mineral Color Symmetry Crystal reference frame 0 58485 (24%) notIndexed 1 152345 (62%) Forsterite LightSkyBlue mmm 2 26058 (11%) Enstatite DarkSeaGreen mmm 3 9064 (3.7%) Diopside Goldenrod 12/m1 X||a*, Y||b*, Z||c Properties: bands, bc, bs, error, mad, x, y Scan unit : um {% endhighlight %}The grain boundary segments of a list of grains are stored within the field
{% highlight matlab %} gB = grains.boundary {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} gB = grainBoundary Segments length mineral 1 mineral 2 439 27383 µm notIndexed Forsterite 18 1550 µm notIndexed Enstatite 22 1350 µm notIndexed Diopside 1386 55739 µm Forsterite Forsterite 656 26512 µm Forsterite Enstatite 519 20576 µm Forsterite Diopside 35 1296 µm Enstatite Enstatite 112 4827 µm Enstatite Diopside 28 1250 µm Diopside Diopside {% endhighlight %}We may use the plot command to visualize the grain boundaries in the map
{% highlight matlab %} % plot phases and grain boundaries plot(ebsd) hold on plot(gB,'lineWidth',2) hold off {% endhighlight %}Accordingly, we can access the grain boundary of a specific grain by
{% highlight matlab %} grains(45).boundary % lets highlight this specific grain by its boundary hold on plot(grains(45).boundary,'lineWidth',4,'lineColor','DarkBlue') hold off {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} ans = grainBoundary Segments length mineral 1 mineral 2 132 5528 µm Forsterite Forsterite 69 2649 µm Forsterite Enstatite 29 1240 µm Forsterite Diopside {% endhighlight %}For a multi-phase system, the location of specific phase transistions may be of interest. The following plot highlights all Forsterite to Enstatite phase transitions
{% highlight matlab %} hold on plot(grains.boundary('Fo','En'),'linecolor','DarkGreen','linewidth',4) hold off {% endhighlight %}Another type of boundaries is boundaries between measurements that belong to the same grain. This happens if a grain has a texture gradient that loops around these two measurements.
{% highlight matlab %} hold on plot(grains.innerBoundary,'linecolor','red','linewidth',4) hold off {% endhighlight %}The boundary misorientation is the misorientation between the two neighboring pixels of a boundary segment. Depending of the misorientation angle one distinguishes between high angle and low angle grain boundaries. In MTEX we can visualize the boundary misorientation angle by the commands
{% highlight matlab %} close all gB_Fo = grains.boundary('Fo','Fo'); plot(grains,'translucent',1,'micronbar','off') legend off hold on plot(gB_Fo,gB_Fo.misorientation.angle./degree,'linewidth',4) hold off mtexColorbar('title','misorientation angle') {% endhighlight %}Similarly as the rotational angle we may colorize the grain boundaries also according the misorientation axes. First of all we have to decide wheter we want to visualize the rotational axis in crystal or coordinate system. Second we have to define a color key that translates rotational axes into colors.
Lets start with the rotational axes in crystal coordinates
{% highlight matlab %} % computed the axes in specien coordinates axes = gB_Fo.misorientation.axis % define a color key colorKey = HSVDirectionKey(axes); % compute colors color = colorKey.direction2color(axes); hold on plot(gB_Fo,'lineColor','black','linewidth',6) % some black background for contrast plot(gB_Fo,color,'linewidth',4) hold off mtexColorbar('off') {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} axes = Miller (Forsterite) size: 1386 x 1 {% endhighlight %}As a colorbar replacement we plot the color key and on top of it the misorientation axes at the grain boundaries
{% highlight matlab %} figure(2) plot(colorKey) hold on plot(axes,'MarkerFaceAlpha',0.1,'MarkerEdgeAlpha',0.3,'MarkerColor','black') hold off {% endhighlight %}Analyzing the misorientation axis in specimen coordinates is a bit more involved as it requires to extract the two neighbouring orientations to each boundary segment. To do this we use the ebsdId stored in the boundary segments.
{% highlight matlab %} figure(1) % first we reduce the number of boundary segments a bit % in order to avoid that the plot becomes to messy gB_red = reduce(gB_Fo,5) % next we extract for every boundary segment the two orientations at both % sides ori = ebsd('id',gB_red.ebsdId).orientations % the two orientations we use to compute the misorientation axis in % specimen coordinates axes = axis(ori(:,1),ori(:,2)) % plot the projection of the misorientation axis on the measurement surface hold on quiver(gB_red,axes,'autoScaleFactor',0.4,'color','black') hold off {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} gB_red = grainBoundary Segments length mineral 1 mineral 2 278 10946 µm Forsterite Forsterite ori = orientation (Forsterite → xyz) size: 278 x 2 axes = vector3d size: 278 x 1 {% endhighlight %}In order to visuale the full misorientation, i.e., axis and angle, one has to define a corresponding color key. One option is the color key described in the paper by S. Patala, J. K. Mason, and C. A. Schuh, Improved representations of misorientation information for grain boundary
, Prog. Mater. Sci., vol. 57, no. 8, pp. 1383-1425, 2012.
Lets visualize the color key as axis angle sections through the misorientation space
{% highlight matlab %} figure(2) plot(colorKey,'layout',[3,4]) % and plot the misorienations on top plot(gB_Fo.misorientation,... 'MarkerFacecolor','none','add2all','MarkerSize',4) {% endhighlight %}Lets illustrate this color coding also at a iron sample.
{% highlight matlab %} % import the data mtexdata csl % grain segementation and smoothing [grains,ebsd.grainId] = calcGrains(ebsd('indexed')); grains = smooth(grains,2); gB = grains.boundary('iron','iron'); % and plot image quality + orientation close all plot(ebsd,log(ebsd.prop.iq),'figSize','large') mtexColorMap black2white CLim(gcm,[.5,5]) hold on plot(grains,grains.meanOrientation,'FaceAlpha',0.4) % define the color key and colorize the grain boundaries colorKey = PatalaColorKey(gB) hold on plot(gB,colorKey.orientation2color(gB.misorientation),'linewidth',4,'smooth') hold off {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} ebsd = EBSD Phase Orientations Mineral Color Symmetry Crystal reference frame -1 154107 (100%) iron LightSkyBlue m-3m Properties: ci, error, iq, x, y Scan unit : um colorKey = PatalaColorKey with properties: CS1: [1×1 crystalSymmetry] CS2: [1×1 crystalSymmetry] antipodal: 1 {% endhighlight %}At the end we plot the colorized misorientation space in axis angle sections. Note that in this plot misorientations mori
and inv(mori)
are associated.


Here's a little story I gots to tell about three bad brothas ya know so well. It started way back in history with that Rock, MCA & me, Mike D! He had a little horsey named Paul Revere. Just me & my horsey & a quart of beer...ridin' cross the land, kickin up sand. Sheriff Black is on my tail 'cause I'm in demand.
The Story of Paul Revere
One lonely Beastie I be...all by myself without nobody. The sun is beatin down on my baseball cap. The air is gettin hot, the beer is gettin flat. Lookin for a girl, I ran into a guy. His name is MCA. I said howdy. He said Hi
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed...4 days on the run & that he's dying of thirst. The brew was in my hand & he was on my tip. His voice was hoarse. His throat was dry. He asked me for a sip. He said Can I get some? I said You can't get none. Had no chance to run. He pulled out his shotgun. Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead. He put the gun to my head & this is what he said...

| Open a second checking/savings account at the bank; and designate this account for traveling. Or find a piggy bank, large jar or metal box to put your money away. |
| If you get paid every week, take a minimum of $50 and put it way for your trip. |
| If you get paid bi-weekly, take a minimum of $100 and put it way for your trip. |
| I recommend getting a second job that isn't to stressful. In that case you can use the money you earn from that second job for a trip |
| If you're a teacher or a staff member at Elementary or High School; you're in luck because you have the same schedule as your students. Meaning you will have holidays and vacations off. |
| Cut down on unecessary bills to earn your money for ex.: Netflix, Hulu, gym merbership, etc. |
| Cut down on unecessary spending. |
| If you have a career, job, responsibilities, etc.; I recommend to plan your trip for a minimum of 3-5 days. |
| Plan your trip 4-6 months ahead |
| Do reasearch online or ask questions to people that have been to the destination you plan to go. |
| To book a flight, always book your flight on Tuesday. Between 12-3pm for cheaps prices. |
| Never book a flight to depart on a Monday (beginning of the business week), Thursday and Friday (normally when people trend to start their weekend) and Sunday (it's the end of the week and people decide to return the day before they have to go to work). |
| Always book your flight to depart on Tuesday and Wednesday (cheapest day to flyout), Friday (sometimes) and Saturday is cheap to leave because its already the weekend. |
| For booking arrival flights back home the best days to return is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. |
| Never book a flight with cheap airlines line Spirit, Frontier, or any other 1 star rated airline. (Unless your super tight on a budget then that's on you). |
| To book somewhere to crash or stay for your trip, I recommend AirBnB if you want to stay somewhere nice and cozy (avg. price $40-$65 per night). But if you're on a tight budget I recommend a hostel (avg. price $10-$45 per night). Another recommendation is couchsurfing (it's free), I provide a website in the resources link to sign up for more information. |
| Plan accordingly when it comes to transportation and tourist areas. Make sure you know how far away is a particular tourist area or what time a bus or train or flight schedule to leave for the next destination. |
| DOWNLOAD GOOGLE MAPS (IT'S A LIFE SAVER!!!) |
| Plan accordingly to where you're traveling for ex.: if you're going to Iceland in the Winter don't take shorts, take warm clothing or vice versa. |
| Backpack traveling is the way to go. |
| Invest on a good 35-55L backpack (don't drag or carry luggage around). |
| Don't over pack, meaning don't take more than what you need. Take what is essential like certain amount of socks and underwear, toothbrush, toothpaste, a couple of shirts, 2-3 pair of shorts (that includes swimming trunks or shorts, etc.), 1-2 pair jeans, a pair of sandles or TOMS, pair of hiking shoes (also if you plan to out for the night life wherever you go then I recommend a good pair of shoes to look good), small aid kit, water bottle, electronic chargers for electronics, portable battery w/ built on solar panel for emergency, grooming or personal hygiene products like shampoo and soap (A MUST!!!). |
| If you're alergic or get sick easily, you must go see your primary care physician or doctor to give you travel shots for certain pathogens or diseases. |
| I recommend to sign up for travel insurance. |
| Make sure to research ahead of time when it comes to transportation. |
| If you're willing to spend money on packages, that's on your own discreation. I don't recommend buy packages to travel because their expensive. With a little bit of research and patience you can book all of the items that a package was offering but for cheaper. |

Scene I
London. The palace.
KING HENRY VI
[Sennet. Enter KING HENRY VI, GLOUCESTER, and EXETER]
Have you perused the letters from the pope,
The emperor and the Earl of Armagnac?
GLOUCESTER
I have, my lord: and their intent is this:
They humbly sue unto your excellence
To have a godly peace concluded of
Between the realms of England and of France.
KING HENRY VI
How doth your grace affect their motion?
GLOUCESTER
Well, my good lord; and as the only means
To stop effusion of our Christian blood
And 'stablish quietness on every side.
KING HENRY VI
Ay, marry, uncle; for I always thought
It was both impious and unnatural
That such immanity and bloody strife
Should reign among professors of one faith.
GLOUCESTER
Beside, my lord, the sooner to effect
And surer bind this knot of amity,
The Earl of Armagnac, near knit to Charles,
A man of great authority in France,
Proffers his only daughter to your grace
In marriage, with a large and sumptuous dowry.
KING HENRY VI
Marriage, uncle! alas, my years are young!
And fitter is my study and my books
Than wanton dalliance with a paramour.
Yet call the ambassador; and, as you please,
So let them have their answers every one:
I shall be well content with any choice
Tends to God's glory and my country's weal.
Enter CARDINAL OF WINCHESTER in Cardinal's habit,
a Legate and two Ambassadors
EXETER
What! is my Lord of Winchester install'd,
And call'd unto a cardinal's degree?
Then I perceive that will be verified
Henry the Fifth did sometime prophesy,
'If once he come to be a cardinal,
He'll make his cap co-equal with the crown.'
KING HENRY VI
My lords ambassadors, your several suits
Have been consider'd and debated on.
And therefore are we certainly resolved
To draw conditions of a friendly peace;
Which by my Lord of Winchester we mean
Shall be transported presently to France.
GLOUCESTER
And for the proffer of my lord your master,
I have inform'd his highness so at large
As liking of the lady's virtuous gifts,
Her beauty and the value of her dower,
He doth intend she shall be England's queen.
KING HENRY VI
In argument and proof of which contract,
Bear her this jewel, pledge of my affection.
And so, my lord protector, see them guarded
And safely brought to Dover; where inshipp'd
Commit them to the fortune of the sea.
[Exeunt all but CARDINAL OF WINCHESTER and Legate]
OF WINCHESTER
Stay, my lord legate: you shall first receive
The sum of money which I promised
Should be deliver'd to his holiness
For clothing me in these grave ornaments.
Legate
I will attend upon your lordship's leisure.
OF WINCHESTER
[Aside] Now Winchester will not submit, I trow,
Or be inferior to the proudest peer.
Humphrey of Gloucester, thou shalt well perceive
That, neither in birth or for authority,
The bishop will be overborne by thee:
I'll either make thee stoop and bend thy knee,
Or sack this country with a mutiny.
[Exeunt]
Scene III
Before Angiers.
[Alarum. Excursions. Enter JOAN LA PUCELLE]
JOAN LA PUCELLE
The regent conquers, and the Frenchmen fly.
Now help, ye charming spells and periapts;
And ye choice spirits that admonish me
And give me signs of future accidents.
[Thunder]
You speedy helpers, that are substitutes
Under the lordly monarch of the north,
Appear and aid me in this enterprise.
[Enter Fiends]
This speedy and quick appearance argues proof
Of your accustom'd diligence to me.
Now, ye familiar spirits, that are cull'd
Out of the powerful regions under earth,
Help me this once, that France may get the field.
[They walk, and speak not]
O, hold me not with silence over-long!
Where I was wont to feed you with my blood,
I'll lop a member off and give it you
In earnest of further benefit,
So you do condescend to help me now.
[They hang their heads]
No hope to have redress? My body shall
Pay recompense, if you will grant my suit.
[They shake their heads]
Cannot my body nor blood-sacrifice
Entreat you to your wonted furtherance?
Then take my soul, my body, soul and all,
Before that England give the French the foil.
[They depart]
See, they forsake me! Now the time is come
That France must vail her lofty-plumed crest
And let her head fall into England's lap.

[Exit]
Excursions. Re-enter JOAN LA PUCELLE fighting hand
to hand with YORK JOAN LA PUCELLE is taken. The
French fly
YORK
Damsel of France, I think I have you fast:
Unchain your spirits now with spelling charms
And try if they can gain your liberty.
A goodly prize, fit for the devil's grace!
See, how the ugly wench doth bend her brows,
As if with Circe she would change my shape!
JOAN LA PUCELLE
Changed to a worser shape thou canst not be.
YORK
O, Charles the Dauphin is a proper man;
No shape but his can please your dainty eye.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
A plaguing mischief light on Charles and thee!
And may ye both be suddenly surprised
By bloody hands, in sleeping on your beds!

JOAN LA PUCELLE
I prithee, give me leave to curse awhile.
YORK
Curse, miscreant, when thou comest to the stake.
[Exeunt]
[Alarum. Enter SUFFOLK with MARGARET in his hand]
SUFFOLK
Be what thou wilt, thou art my prisoner.
[Gazes on her]
O fairest beauty, do not fear nor fly!
For I will touch thee but with reverent hands;
I kiss these fingers for eternal peace,
And lay them gently on thy tender side.
Who art thou? say, that I may honour thee.
MARGARET
Margaret my name, and daughter to a king,
The King of Naples, whosoe'er thou art.
SUFFOLK
An earl I am, and Suffolk am I call'd.
Be not offended, nature's miracle,
Thou art allotted to be ta'en by me:
So doth the swan her downy cygnets save,
Keeping them prisoner underneath her wings.
Yet, if this servile usage once offend.
Go, and be free again, as Suffolk's friend.
[She is going]
O, stay! I have no power to let her pass;
My hand would free her, but my heart says no
As plays the sun upon the glassy streams,
Twinkling another counterfeited beam,
So seems this gorgeous beauty to mine eyes.
Fain would I woo her, yet I dare not speak:
I'll call for pen and ink, and write my mind.
Fie, de la Pole! disable not thyself;
Hast not a tongue? is she not here?
Wilt thou be daunted at a woman's sight?
Ay, beauty's princely majesty is such,
Confounds the tongue and makes the senses rough.
MARGARET
Say, Earl of Suffolk--if thy name be so--
What ransom must I pay before I pass?
For I perceive I am thy prisoner.
SUFFOLK
How canst thou tell she will deny thy suit,
Before thou make a trial of her love?
MARGARET
Why speak'st thou not? what ransom must I pay?
SUFFOLK
She's beautiful, and therefore to be woo'd;
She is a woman, therefore to be won.
MARGARET
Wilt thou accept of ransom? yea, or no.
SUFFOLK
Fond man, remember that thou hast a wife;
Then how can Margaret be thy paramour?
MARGARET
I were best to leave him, for he will not hear.
SUFFOLK
There all is marr'd; there lies a cooling card.
MARGARET
He talks at random; sure, the man is mad.
SUFFOLK
And yet a dispensation may be had.
MARGARET
And yet I would that you would answer me.
SUFFOLK
I'll win this Lady Margaret. For whom?
Why, for my king: tush, that's a wooden thing!
MARGARET
He talks of wood: it is some carpenter.
SUFFOLK
Yet so my fancy may be satisfied,
And peace established between these realms
But there remains a scruple in that too;
For though her father be the King of Naples,
Duke of Anjou and Maine, yet is he poor,
And our nobility will scorn the match.
MARGARET
Hear ye, captain, are you not at leisure?
SUFFOLK
It shall be so, disdain they ne'er so much.
Henry is youthful and will quickly yield.
Madam, I have a secret to reveal.
MARGARET
What though I be enthrall'd? he seems a knight,
And will not any way dishonour me.
SUFFOLK
Lady, vouchsafe to listen what I say.
MARGARET
Perhaps I shall be rescued by the French;
And then I need not crave his courtesy.
SUFFOLK
Sweet madam, give me a hearing in a cause--
MARGARET
Tush, women have been captivate ere now.
SUFFOLK
Lady, wherefore talk you so?
MARGARET
I cry you mercy, 'tis but Quid for Quo.
SUFFOLK
Say, gentle princess, would you not suppose
Your bondage happy, to be made a queen?
MARGARET
To be a queen in bondage is more vile
Than is a slave in base servility;
For princes should be free.
SUFFOLK
And so shall you,
If happy England's royal king be free.
MARGARET
Why, what concerns his freedom unto me?
SUFFOLK
I'll undertake to make thee Henry's queen,
To put a golden sceptre in thy hand
And set a precious crown upon thy head,
If thou wilt condescend to be my--
MARGARET
I am unworthy to be Henry's wife.
SUFFOLK
No, gentle madam; I unworthy am
To woo so fair a dame to be his wife,
And have no portion in the choice myself.
How say you, madam, are ye so content?
MARGARET
An if my father please, I am content.
SUFFOLK
Then call our captains and our colours forth.
And, madam, at your father's castle walls
We'll crave a parley, to confer with him.
[A parley sounded. Enter REIGNIER on the walls]
See, Reignier, see, thy daughter prisoner!
REIGNIER
Suffolk, what remedy?
I am a soldier, and unapt to weep,
Or to exclaim on fortune's fickleness.
SUFFOLK
Yes, there is remedy enough, my lord:
Consent, and for thy honour give consent,
Thy daughter shall be wedded to my king;
Whom I with pain have woo'd and won thereto;
And this her easy-held imprisonment
Hath gained thy daughter princely liberty.
REIGNIER
Speaks Suffolk as he thinks?
SUFFOLK
Fair Margaret knows
That Suffolk doth not flatter, face, or feign.
REIGNIER
Upon thy princely warrant, I descend
To give thee answer of thy just demand.
[Exit from the walls]
SUFFOLK
And here I will expect thy coming.
[Trumpets sound. Enter REIGNIER, below]
REIGNIER
Welcome, brave earl, into our territories:
Command in Anjou what your honour pleases.
SUFFOLK
Thanks, Reignier, happy for so sweet a child,
Fit to be made companion with a king:
What answer makes your grace unto my suit?
REIGNIER
Since thou dost deign to woo her little worth
To be the princely bride of such a lord;
Upon condition I may quietly
Enjoy mine own, the country Maine and Anjou,
Free from oppression or the stroke of war,
My daughter shall be Henry's, if he please.
SUFFOLK
That is her ransom; I deliver her;
And those two counties I will undertake
Your grace shall well and quietly enjoy.
REIGNIER
And I again, in Henry's royal name,
As deputy unto that gracious king,
Give thee her hand, for sign of plighted faith.
SUFFOLK
Reignier of France, I give thee kingly thanks,
Because this is in traffic of a king.
[Aside]
And yet, methinks, I could be well content
To be mine own attorney in this case.
I'll over then to England with this news,
And make this marriage to be solemnized.
So farewell, Reignier: set this diamond safe
In golden palaces, as it becomes.
REIGNIER
I do embrace thee, as I would embrace
The Christian prince, King Henry, were he here.
MARGARET
Farewell, my lord: good wishes, praise and prayers
Shall Suffolk ever have of Margaret.
[Going]
SUFFOLK
Farewell, sweet madam: but hark you, Margaret;
No princely commendations to my king?
MARGARET
Such commendations as becomes a maid,
A virgin and his servant, say to him.
SUFFOLK
Words sweetly placed and modestly directed.
But madam, I must trouble you again;
No loving token to his majesty?
MARGARET
Yes, my good lord, a pure unspotted heart,
Never yet taint with love, I send the king.
SUFFOLK
And this withal.
[Kisses her]
MARGARET
That for thyself: I will not so presume
To send such peevish tokens to a king.
[Exeunt REIGNIER and MARGARET]
SUFFOLK
O, wert thou for myself!
Solicit Henry with her wondrous praise:
Bethink thee on her virtues that surmount,
And natural graces that extinguish art;
Repeat their semblance often on the seas,
That, when thou comest to kneel at Henry's feet,
Thou mayst bereave him of his wits with wonder.
[Exit]
Scene IV
Camp of the YORK in Anjou.
YORK
[Enter YORK, WARWICK, and others]
Bring forth that sorceress condemn'd to burn.
[Enter JOAN LA PUCELLE, guarded, and a Shepherd]
Shepherd
Ah, Joan, this kills thy father's heart outright!
Have I sought every country far and near,
And, now it is my chance to find thee out,
Must I behold thy timeless cruel death?
Ah, Joan, sweet daughter Joan, I'll die with thee!
JOAN LA PUCELLE
Decrepit miser! base ignoble wretch!
I am descended of a gentler blood:
Thou art no father nor no friend of mine.
Shepherd
Out, out! My lords, an please you, 'tis not so;
I did beget her, all the parish knows:
Her mother liveth yet, can testify
She was the first fruit of my bachelorship.
WARWICK
Graceless! wilt thou deny thy parentage?
YORK
This argues what her kind of life hath been,
Wicked and vile; and so her death concludes.
Shepherd
Fie, Joan, that thou wilt be so obstacle!
God knows thou art a collop of my flesh;
And for thy sake have I shed many a tear:
Deny me not, I prithee, gentle Joan.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
Peasant, avaunt! You have suborn'd this man,
Of purpose to obscure my noble birth.
Shepherd
'Tis true, I gave a noble to the priest
The morn that I was wedded to her mother.
Kneel down and take my blessing, good my girl.
Wilt thou not stoop? Now cursed be the time
Of thy nativity! I would the milk
Thy mother gave thee when thou suck'dst her breast,
Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake!
Or else, when thou didst keep my lambs a-field,
I wish some ravenous wolf had eaten thee!
Dost thou deny thy father, cursed drab?

[Exit]
YORK
Take her away; for she hath lived too long,
To fill the world with vicious qualities.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
First, let me tell you whom you have condemn'd:
Not me begotten of a shepherd swain,
But issued from the progeny of kings;
Virtuous and holy; chosen from above,
By inspiration of celestial grace,
To work exceeding miracles on earth.
I never had to do with wicked spirits:
But you, that are polluted with your lusts,
Stain'd with the guiltless blood of innocents,
Corrupt and tainted with a thousand vices,
Because you want the grace that others have,
You judge it straight a thing impossible
To compass wonders but by help of devils.
No, misconceived! Joan of Arc hath been
A virgin from her tender infancy,
Chaste and immaculate in very thought;
Whose maiden blood, thus rigorously effused,
Will cry for vengeance at the gates of heaven.
YORK
Ay, ay: away with her to execution!
WARWICK
And hark ye, sirs; because she is a maid,
Spare for no faggots, let there be enow:
Place barrels of pitch upon the fatal stake,
That so her torture may be shortened.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
Will nothing turn your unrelenting hearts?
Then, Joan, discover thine infirmity,
That warranteth by law to be thy privilege.

YORK
Now heaven forfend! the holy maid with child!
WARWICK
The greatest miracle that e'er ye wrought:
Is all your strict preciseness come to this?
YORK
She and the Dauphin have been juggling:
I did imagine what would be her refuge.
WARWICK
Well, go to; we'll have no bastards live;
Especially since Charles must father it.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
You are deceived; my child is none of his:
It was Alencon that enjoy'd my love.
YORK
Alencon! that notorious Machiavel!
It dies, an if it had a thousand lives.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
O, give me leave, I have deluded you:
'Twas neither Charles nor yet the duke I named,
But Reignier, king of Naples, that prevail'd.
WARWICK
A married man! that's most intolerable.
YORK
Why, here's a girl! I think she knows not well,
There were so many, whom she may accuse.
WARWICK
It's sign she hath been liberal and free.
YORK
And yet, forsooth, she is a virgin pure.
Strumpet, thy words condemn thy brat and thee:
Use no entreaty, for it is in vain.
JOAN LA PUCELLE
Then lead me hence; with whom I leave my curse:
May never glorious sun reflex his beams
Upon the country where you make abode;
But darkness and the gloomy shade of death
Environ you, till mischief and despair
Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves!
[Exit, guarded]
YORK
Break thou in pieces and consume to ashes,
Thou foul accursed minister of hell!
[Enter CARDINAL OF WINCHESTER, attended]
OF WINCHESTER
Lord regent, I do greet your excellence
With letters of commission from the king.
For know, my lords, the states of Christendom,
Moved with remorse of these outrageous broils,
Have earnestly implored a general peace
Betwixt our nation and the aspiring French;
And here at hand the Dauphin and his train
Approacheth, to confer about some matter.
YORK
Is all our travail turn'd to this effect?
After the slaughter of so many peers,
So many captains, gentlemen and soldiers,
That in this quarrel have been overthrown
And sold their bodies for their country's benefit,
Shall we at last conclude effeminate peace?
Have we not lost most part of all the towns,
By treason, falsehood and by treachery,
Our great progenitors had conquered?
O Warwick, Warwick! I foresee with grief
The utter loss of all the realm of France.
WARWICK
Be patient, York: if we conclude a peace,
It shall be with such strict and severe covenants
As little shall the Frenchmen gain thereby.
Enter CHARLES, ALENCON, BASTARD OF ORLEANS,
REIGNIER, and others
CHARLES
Since, lords of England, it is thus agreed
That peaceful truce shall be proclaim'd in France,
We come to be informed by yourselves
What the conditions of that league must be.
YORK
Speak, Winchester; for boiling choler chokes
The hollow passage of my poison'd voice,
By sight of these our baleful enemies.

ALENCON
Must he be then as shadow of himself?
Adorn his temples with a coronet,
And yet, in substance and authority,
Retain but privilege of a private man?
This proffer is absurd and reasonless.
CHARLES
'Tis known already that I am possess'd
With more than half the Gallian territories,
And therein reverenced for their lawful king:
Shall I, for lucre of the rest unvanquish'd,
Detract so much from that prerogative,
As to be call'd but viceroy of the whole?
No, lord ambassador, I'll rather keep
That which I have than, coveting for more,
Be cast from possibility of all.
YORK
Insulting Charles! hast thou by secret means
Used intercession to obtain a league,
And, now the matter grows to compromise,
Stand'st thou aloof upon comparison?
Either accept the title thou usurp'st,
Of benefit proceeding from our king
And not of any challenge of desert,
Or we will plague thee with incessant wars.
REIGNIER
My lord, you do not well in obstinacy
To cavil in the course of this contract:
If once it be neglected, ten to one
We shall not find like opportunity.
ALENCON
To say the truth, it is your policy
To save your subjects from such massacre
And ruthless slaughters as are daily seen
By our proceeding in hostility;
And therefore take this compact of a truce,
Although you break it when your pleasure serves.
WARWICK
How say'st thou, Charles? shall our condition stand?
CHARLES
It shall;
Only reserved, you claim no interest
In any of our towns of garrison.
YORK
Then swear allegiance to his majesty,
As thou art knight, never to disobey
Nor be rebellious to the crown of England,
Thou, nor thy nobles, to the crown of England.
So, now dismiss your army when ye please:
Hang up your ensign, let your drums be still,
For here we entertain a solemn peace.
[Exeunt]
Scene V
London. The palace.
KING HENRY VI
Enter SUFFOLK in conference with KING HENRY VI,
GLOUCESTER and EXETER
Your wondrous rare description, noble earl,
Of beauteous Margaret hath astonish'd me:
Her virtues graced with external gifts
Do breed love's settled passions in my heart:
And like as rigor of tempestuous gusts
Provokes the mightiest hulk against the tide,
So am I driven by breath of her renown
Either to suffer shipwreck or arrive
Where I may have fruition of her love.
SUFFOLK
Tush, my good lord, this superficial tale
Is but a preface of her worthy praise;
The chief perfections of that lovely dame
Had I sufficient skill to utter them,
Would make a volume of enticing lines,
Able to ravish any dull conceit:
And, which is more, she is not so divine,
So full-replete with choice of all delights,
But with as humble lowliness of mind
She is content to be at your command;
Command, I mean, of virtuous chaste intents,
To love and honour Henry as her lord.
KING HENRY VI
And otherwise will Henry ne'er presume.
Therefore, my lord protector, give consent
That Margaret may be England's royal queen.
GLOUCESTER
So should I give consent to flatter sin.

SUFFOLK
As doth a ruler with unlawful oaths;
Or one that, at a triumph having vow'd
To try his strength, forsaketh yet the lists
By reason of his adversary's odds:
A poor earl's daughter is unequal odds,
And therefore may be broke without offence.
GLOUCESTER
Why, what, I pray, is Margaret more than that?
Her father is no better than an earl,
Although in glorious titles he excel.
SUFFOLK
Yes, lord, her father is a king,
The King of Naples and Jerusalem;
And of such great authority in France
As his alliance will confirm our peace
And keep the Frenchmen in allegiance.
GLOUCESTER
And so the Earl of Armagnac may do,
Because he is near kinsman unto Charles.
EXETER
Beside, his wealth doth warrant a liberal dower,
Where Reignier sooner will receive than give.
SUFFOLK
A dower, my lords! disgrace not so your king,
That he should be so abject, base and poor,
To choose for wealth and not for perfect love.
Henry is able to enrich his queen
And not seek a queen to make him rich:
So worthless peasants bargain for their wives,
As market-men for oxen, sheep, or horse.
Marriage is a matter of more worth
Than to be dealt in by attorneyship;
Not whom we will, but whom his grace affects,
Must be companion of his nuptial bed:
And therefore, lords, since he affects her most,
It most of all these reasons bindeth us,
In our opinions she should be preferr'd.
For what is wedlock forced but a hell,
An age of discord and continual strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.
Whom should we match with Henry, being a king,
But Margaret, that is daughter to a king?
Her peerless feature, joined with her birth,
Approves her fit for none but for a king:
Her valiant courage and undaunted spirit,
More than in women commonly is seen,
Will answer our hope in issue of a king;
For Henry, son unto a conqueror,
Is likely to beget more conquerors,
If with a lady of so high resolve
As is fair Margaret he be link'd in love.
Then yield, my lords; and here conclude with me
That Margaret shall be queen, and none but she.
KING HENRY VI
Whether it be through force of your report,
My noble Lord of Suffolk, or for that
My tender youth was never yet attaint
With any passion of inflaming love,
I cannot tell; but this I am assured,
I feel such sharp dissension in my breast,
Such fierce alarums both of hope and fear,
As I am sick with working of my thoughts.
Take, therefore, shipping; post, my lord, to France;
Agree to any covenants, and procure
That Lady Margaret do vouchsafe to come
To cross the seas to England and be crown'd
King Henry's faithful and anointed queen:
For your expenses and sufficient charge,
Among the people gather up a tenth.
Be gone, I say; for, till you do return,
I rest perplexed with a thousand cares.
And you, good uncle, banish all offence:
If you do censure me by what you were,
Not what you are, I know it will excuse
This sudden execution of my will.
And so, conduct me where, from company,
I may revolve and ruminate my grief.
[Exit]
GLOUCESTER
Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last.
[Exeunt GLOUCESTER and EXETER]
SUFFOLK
Thus Suffolk hath prevail'd; and thus he goes,
As did the youthful Paris once to Greece,
With hope to find the like event in love,
But prosper better than the Trojan did.
Margaret shall now be queen, and rule the king;
But I will rule both her, the king and realm.
[Exit]


--- layout: post title: Maria DB tagline: " at the first glance" permalink: /maria-db/init-configuration.html categories: [MariaDB, Debian9, literate programming] tags: [post-installation, configuration] ---
What is MariaDB
Thus, just open-source kind of MySQL
MariaDB included into official Debian
repository, hence its
installation as usual is a string as root
:
~# apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
Installation success check is possible for ordinary user also:
mariadb --version
mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.23-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
In the most cases MariaDB
treatments are identical with MySQL
,
thus there are several steps how to permit ordinary UNIX user
to
interact with SQL server on localhost.
It should to been noticed here that in accordion with Debian
security policy by defauld only root is preliminary granted to
resolve any DB administration issues. Thus all initial operations
below should be executed as root, e.g. in separate terminal window
after than you're switched user to root by su root.
~# mariadb Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MariaDB connection id is 8 Server version: 10.1.23-MariaDB-9+deb9u1 Debian 9.0 Copyright (c) 2000, 2017, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others. Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. MariaDB [(none)]>
The last string MariaDB [(none)]> welcomed you to input any command by typing and I might suggest to type help and overview its response.
But our aim is to compose environment that allows an ordinary user
to play with relational algebra equations in MariaDB
. First of
all we're need to create a dumb DB. Check up the existing ones:
MariaDB [(none)]> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | mysql | | performance_schema | +--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.06 sec)
These tables serve managerial role and you should aware to modify them. Lets create a particular DB as illustration of DB creation and for our educational and test purposes.
MariaDB [(none)]> create database fujitsu_db; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | fujitsu_db | | information_schema | | mysql | | performance_schema | +--------------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, when an educational DB successfully created we restricted by
security policy organize interaction with it from
non-administrative user. It's a trivial secure trick which
effectively resolve a huge amount of secure problem. The general
concept implies user's access control: each user has a definitely
limited access to some particular data, and only root
has an
unlimited access to all available data.
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER 'alioth'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.62 sec)
After when we're created a test DB and an dumb
user it's time to
tie these objects together.
 TO 'alioth'@'localhost'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)
Now, when we are freely capable to connect MariaDB
client with
server it's very moment to embed all this features into Emacs IDE.
Firstly it is worth to be noticed a Emacs'
standard approach to
SQL
: M-x sql-mysql
after than you're add SQL
support in your
init.el
and re-launch Emacs
. If description above can't
eliminate your questions around MariaDB
as a particular SQL
host you might try to dismantle these knotty issues by reading:
As a result you'll should get this window for tame your MariaDB
interactively:
Figure 1: MariaDB client's interactive window

ANTZ A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * * out of * * * *
In what seems to be the most unusual film trend of late, two studios are offering competing computer-animated-bug films. The first one out of the gate is Antz, the first animated film from Dreamworks SKG. Although not up to the high standards of Toy Story, it poses a strong challenge to this Thanksgiving's A Bug's Life.
Antz follows the life of a single ant, Z (Woody Allen), who is dissatisfied with colony life. As with many animated heroes, he yearns for something different...he wants to be an individual, instead of part of the collective.
He spots his chance when he meets the beautiful Princess Bala (Sharon Stone), who is "slumming it" with the worker ants to get a taste of life before her impending marriage to the ruthless General Mandible (Gene Hackman). Although their meeting is brief, Z believes they've formed a connection, and now has a goal for his dreams.
He enlists the aid of his soldier friend Weaver (Sylvester Stallone) in an effort to meet her again. However, when things don't go as planned, Z finds himself the target of Mandible's wrath.
This is only the second fully computer-animated film, but somehow the sense of awe and wonder that was present in Toy Story is missing. The water animation here is very realistic, but overall the animation fails to be impressive.
None of the characters are particularly charming by themselves. It's the voices that truly bring them to life, and Antz has attracted a first-rate cast for the job. In addition to the voices credited above, the film features the talents of Christopher Walken, Danny Glover, Anne Bancroft, Jennifer Lopez, Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin. The vocal performances are all top-notch, and truly bring a spark of life to the film.
There's plenty of humor here...but most of it is likely to sail completely over the heads of children. Socio-political commentary is rare in animation, but it seems to fit in well here.
Humorous and enjoyable, Antz is able to overcome its limitations and is a rather good cartoon. Younger children might not understand many of the jokes, and might be frightened by some of the battle scenes...but older kids and adults will have a jolly good time.

MARS NEEDS WOMEN (director/writer: Larry Buchanan; cinematographer: Robert Jessup; cast: Yvonne Craig (Dr. Marjorie Bolen), Tommy Kirk (Dop), Byron Lord (Colonel Page), "Bubbles" Cash (Stripteaser), Cal Duggan (Martian), Anthony Houston (Martian), 1966)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Larry Buchanan has created this cheapie AIP color film that has a great title, a dismal story and hammy acting worthy of an amateur thespian production. It's the kind of film played out in a serious manner, that you couldn't help either enjoying or hating it for its awkwardness and how bad it was. My caveat is: if you don't take this film seriously, you are more than likely to have a better reaction to it than those who do.
The film has two featured stars: Tommy Kirk as Dop, the serious, droll Martian scientist leader, here on a mission to bring back to Mars some American women for purposes of fertilization; and, Yvonne Craig as Dr. Marjorie Bolen, a gritty, Pulitizer prize-winning scientific expert on Martian genetics. Tommy was a former member of Disney's Mouse Club and was in "The Shaggy Dog." Yvonne was a former dancer, blessed with wonderful gams, and she was TV's Batgirl. Neither performer was ever known for their acting skills.
A message is received from outer space by America's security system: Mars needs women. Colonel Page (Byron) is the one-dimensional dullard in charge of the security system and when the equally dull Martian Dop suddenly appears at the control center and tells the colonel and the reporter present, that because of a genetic flaw there is a hundred to one ratio of males to females in Mars, and that 5 Martians are on a mission to voluntarily bring back 5 females for purposes of reproducing more females; and, they offer promises that everything will be done in a non-violent manner, with the cooperation of the girls; and, so the gauntlet is dropped. But the colonel refuses to abet the Martians in this enterprise, as Dop disappears but not before mentioning that the mission will go on whether or not the U.S. cooperates.
The Martians thusly become the world's first common enemy. They have landed in an abandoned chemical dump somewhere around one of Texas' main cities, and have neutralized all radar systems and dishes used for detection. Dop warns his other medical missionaries, that they have 24 hours to complete their mission, so they will have to resort to using hypnosis on their subjects. They are told to not eat the Earth food and to spread out, borrowing suits from a closed clothing store, and currency and city maps from a filling station, and cars from the airport parking lot, picking that spot because the cars shouldn't be missed in the short-run, and will be returned when they depart. The Martians observe that ties are worn here, something they discarded in Mars 50-years ago as something useless. That's about as deep a jab at political satire this film takes.
The five women chosen as perfect female specimens by the super-polite abductors are all good lookers, who range from being a stripteaser, an airline stewardess, a college "Homecoming Queen," an artist, and Dr. Bolen. The longest and most drawn out abduction, is with Dop romancing an all-too-willing Dr. Bolen, and we get to watch the two fall in love while they visit the planetarium. It was delightful to see them hold hands and in the end have him decide whether his love for her will cause him to disobey his mission, as he must decide whether to return to Mars or jump ship. Love is something that has gone out of vogue in Mars for the last 100- years, but our hero says, this is what it must feel like. She never realized he was a Martian, which shows you that even experts on Mars could be fooled. The suspense for the conclusion is breathtaking, as the Martians have to abort their mission with the U.S. army on their tails, and there are genuine tears falling from Dr. Bolen!
Arguably, the film's best scene is when the Martians need a room in the Texas hotel that is booked solid and they get the room and the occupant's press credentials by hypnotizing the Seattle-Sun reporter in it, as he looks at the reflecting lights in the pool and thereby is convinced to go home.
What goes for special effects, are scenes where women are disappearing and aliens are appearing out of thin air. What goes for a Martian wardrobe, are scuba-diving space suits and on their ears hockey pucks are worn from which a vertical, foot-long antenna protrudes.
If you are in the mood for something to see that is inane, a film that Edward Wood Jr. would be proud of, but in the hands of an Edgar Ullmer, could have been much more notable, then this one could hit your funny bone. In any case, I was in a silly mood when I saw it and was not disappointed, it was as bad as I thought it would be; and, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Trick * * * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by Jim Fall. Cast: Christian Campbell, J.P. Pitoc, Tori Spelling, Lorri Bagley, Steve Hayes, Brad Beyer, Clinton Leupp. 1999 - 90 minutes.  Reviewed August 12, 1999.
One of the most talked-about independent films at this year's Sundance Film Festival, director Jim Fall's "Trick" is one of those "up-all-night" comedies in the vein of Martin Scorcese's 1985 "After Hours," which take place within a 24-hour period, and follow a certain character through his/her (mis)adventures during that one memorable night. Not only does "Trick" thoroughly entertain in the context of this genre, but it also stands as being the most uplifting and romantic love story of the year, thanks to the extremely likable and innocent lug of a main character and the crisp, funny screenplay by Jason Schafer. The fact that the two people involved in the said romance are both male is more or less insignificant, as the film's core relationship is something all audiences can relate to, and therefore, it deserves to have a universal appeal (narrow-minded homophobes notwithstanding). It really is difficult to knock a movie, anyway, that is as genuinely sweet as this one is.
Gabriel (Christian Campbell, Neve's older brother) is a twentysomething New Yorker who, despite being a struggling musical writer, feels that he does not fit into the stereotypical mold of a gay person, and has a best friend in the bubbly Katherine (Tori Spelling), an aspiring actress who is always going to auditions with him and performing his musical numbers.  Taking the subway on his way home, Mark shows up in the same car as Gabriel, and immediately suggests that they find a place to be alone. The rest of the film follows Gabriel and Mark on their journey through the nightlife of NYC, as they attempt to turn a "trick." It doesn't work out that way, however, as Gabriel finds that Katherine is at his apartment printing out 150 copies of her resume, followed by his roommate (Brad Beyer), who shows up with his ditzy girlfriend (Lorri Bagley). No matter where Gabriel and Mark go, there is a distraction of some sort, until it eventually doesn't seem to matter much anymore, as a potential one-night-stand starts to transform into what may very well be a budding romantic relationship.
There's no better word to describe "Trick" than 'magical.' Abandoning the usual topics and hang-ups of most gay-oriented movies, including "coming out" and AIDS, what talented director Fall has done here is given us two gay people who have long-since accepted their sexual orientation, as have all of the other characters around them, and so the movie does not become a serious-minded, so-called "meaningful" movie, but one that immediately centers in and concentrates on the characters themselves and their kinships with each other, most importantly in that of Gabriel and Mark, and Gabriel and Katherine.
The performances from all three leads, as well as many of the supporting actors, are well worth noting. Christian Campbell, in his first major film role, is perfect as the somewhat shy Gabriel, who doesn't have much experience with love, romance, and sex yet, but knows it when he sees it. Campbell fills the requirements of the role probably better than anyone else could, because he has this sort of dimpled baby-face that you instantly accept and believe as the character he is playing. J.P. Pitoc, as Mark, at first appears to only be the "boy of attraction," but is gradually revealed throughout to have many complex, human layers under his exterior appearance. As Gabriel's roommate's girlfriend, Lorri Bagley is hilarious. With her high, flaky voice, Bagley has one scene in which she unsuccessfully plays psychologist to the feuding Gabriel and Mark, based on a misunderstanding, and it turns into a centerpiece of comic brilliance. And Clinton Leupp steals the few scenes he has as the draq queen, Miss Coco Peru, striking a major resemblance to Katherine, who has words of wisdom to share with Gabriel while in a club bathroom, if only he can finish what he has to say before the next person in line outside bangs the restroom door down!
 Spelling is outstanding as the talkative Katherine, showing off her surprising gift for comedy (as in the scene where she inauspiciously performs the song-and-dance number, "Enter, You," in front of a stone-faced audience), as well as fully developing her character beyond two-dimensional status. Katherine could have easily been a throwaway role, but screenwriter Jason Schafer does something that was definitely the right choice; Spelling's last scene is one of unexpected poignancy and truth, in which we really get to know and sympathize with Katherine, a young woman who briefly dated Gabriel in high school before he knew he was gay, and still has deep feeling for him even though she knows they can never be anything more than best friends. We've seen this sort of character and conflict before, sure, but it rarely has ever been this effectively and gently done. I can now say, without any sort of regret or embarrassment, that I like Tori Spelling as an actress, and anticipate the days when she can once and for all break free of "Beverly Hills, 90210" and concentrate on her promising film career.
Helped along by dreamy, flattering cinematography of NYC, by Terry Stacey, and a sunny, '40s-style music score by David Friedman, "Trick" is the type of absolutely winning romantic comedy that the recent disappointing Julia Roberts-Richard Gere box-office hit, "Runaway Bride," only dreams of being. You want an unabashed, believable, stirring romantic scene with nothing more than a simple kiss that says it all, then look no further than the excellent last scene of this film, and leave "Runaway Bride" at the altar where it belongs. Plain and simple, the film is an idealistic fairy tale about something that most people constantly pine for from afar, in which you find love where you least expect it. A "Trick," indeed, but also a veritable treat.

Machine translation (MT) refers to fully automated software that can translate source content into target content of different type. Humans may use MT to help them render text and speech into another language, or the MT software may operate without human intervention. Neural Machine Translation is method which utilizes neural networks to achieve this task.
Suppose if you had to translate a book's paragraph from French to English, you would not read the whole paragraph, then close the book and translate. Even during the translation process, you would read/re-read and focus on the parts of the French paragraph corresponding to the parts of the English you are writing down. That's the main idea behind attention model. The attention mechanism tells a Neural Machine Translation model where it should pay attention to at any step. Attention model is one of the most sophisticated sequence to sequence models.
The material presented here is taken from the Deep Learning Specialization Course by Andrew Ng for the sake of explanation.
Attention Model
The diagram below shows the whole attention model in one view.
There are two seperate LSTMs in this model. The one in the bottom is the Bi-Direction LSTM and comes into play before the attention mechanism, let's call it pre-attention Bi-LSTM. The LSTM on the top comes after the attention mechanism and let's call it post-attention LSTM. The pre-attention Bi-LSTM goes through $T_x$ time steps; the post-attention LSTM goes through $T_y$ time steps.
The post-attention LSTM passes $s^{\langle t \rangle}, c^{\langle t \rangle}$ from one time step to the next. LSTM has both the output activation $s^{\langle t\rangle}$ and the hidden cell state $c^{\langle t\rangle}$. In this model the post-activation LSTM at time $t$ does will not take the specific generated $y^{\langle t-1 \rangle}$ as input; it only takes $s^{\langle t\rangle}$ and $c^{\langle t\rangle}$ as input because here we will build model for date generation, because (unlike language generation where adjacent characters are highly correlated) there isn't as strong a dependency between the previous character and the next character in a YYYY-MM-DD date.
We use $a^{\langle t \rangle} = [\overrightarrow{a}^{\langle t \rangle}; \overleftarrow{a}^{\langle t \rangle}]$ to represent the concatenation of the activations of both the forward-direction and backward-directions of the pre-attention Bi-LSTM.
Attention Mechanism
The diagram below shows what one "Attention" step does to calculate the attention variables $\alpha^{\langle t, t' \rangle}$, which are used to compute the context variable $context^{\langle t \rangle}$ for each timestep in the output ($t=1, \ldots, T_y$).
The diagram above uses a RepeatVector node to copy $s^{\langle t-1 \rangle}$'s value $T_x$ times, and then Concatenation to concatenate $s^{\langle t-1 \rangle}$ and $a^{\langle t \rangle}$ to compute $e^{\langle t, t'}$, which is then passed through a softmax to compute $\alpha^{\langle t, t' \rangle}$.
At step $t$, given all the hidden states of the Bi-LSTM ($[a^{<1>},a^{<2>}, ..., a^{<T_x>}]$) and the previous hidden state of the second LSTM ($s^{<t-1>}$). One step of attention will compute the attention weights ( $[\alpha^{<t,1>}, \alpha^{<t,2>}, ..., \alpha^{<t,T_x>}]$ ) and output the context vector as
$$ context^{\lt t \gt} = \sum_{t'=1}^{T_x} \alpha^{ \lt t,t' \gt } \alpha^{t'} $$
The (post-attention) LSTM's internal memory cell variable is denoted by $c^{\langle t \rangle}$ not to be confused with $context^{\lt t \gt}$.
Building a Date Translater
We will build a Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model to translate human readable dates ("10th of May, 1996") into machine readable dates ("1996-05-10") which I got inspiration from Deep Learning Course of Coursera by Andrew Ng. The model you will build here could be used to translate from one language to another, such as translating from English to Hindi. However, language translation requires massive datasets and usually takes days of training on GPUs.
Here I will talk about building attention model. Faker library is used to generate human readable and machine readable dates dataset, you can refer Github Code to implement that.
Firstly we will implement a one_step_attention() method. Let's say we have hidden states of Bi-LSTM as ($[a^{<1>},a^{<2>}, ..., a^{<T_x>}]$) and previous hidden state of the second LSTM ($s^{<t-1>}$). We will compute $context^{\lt t \gt}$ as follows:
Now let's implement model, we will have three input first one is input data, second and third is initial cell state and initial cell memory of post-attention LSTM respectively since the first LSTM cell will not have any inpu in starting. We will use Bi-Directional wrapper around LSTM which will concat two hidden activation of LSTM cell as $a^{\langle t \rangle} = [\overrightarrow{a}^{\langle t \rangle}; \overleftarrow{a}^{\langle t \rangle}]$.
We have to make out post-attention LSTM cell which make its return_state as True. The post attention LSTM cell will return state and memory where its state is used to calculate context using one_step_attention which will be input for next post-attention LSTM cell. Output is generated by applyting dense with softmax activation on LSTM's hidden state output.
Now, we are ready to define out model.
Now its time to train oue model. We will initialize initial cell state and memory as array of zeros. We are using Adam Optimizer which some hyperparameter which turn out to be working best.
Since output is 10 dimensional. So we need to change the shape of out training data output. Finally we are ready to start training.
Some examples translated by our model:
3 May 1979 -> 1979-05-03
5 April 09 -> 2019-05-00
21th of August 2016 -> 2016-08-21
Tue 10 Jul 2007 -> 2007-07-10
Saturday May 9 2018 -> 2018-05-09
March 3 2001 -> 2001-03-03
March 3rd 2001 -> 2001-03-03
1 March 2001 -> 2001-03-01
jun 10 2017 -> 2017-06-10
So we are ready with our own date translation application using one of the "state of the art" technique. I think you are ready to build your own machine translation application. Feel free to mention its link in the comments.

Nutmeg |
(capsule) |
INTRODUCTION: During the systematic exploration of various agents in the alteration of the perception of consciousness, nutmeg was examined. Nutmeg is a dried fruit which has enjoyed moderate to widespread popularity throughout history as a spice. It has a pleasant nutty, minty aroma and a bitter oily flavor which complements dairy products, root vegetables, lamb, and various other foods. It is commonly used as a condiment in flavoring coffee. It is quite bitter when concentrated and thus is not used to make teas, infusions, etc. on a routine basis. Ingestion of generous portions of nutmeg (one or two teaspoons) in coffee or espresso have seemed to enhance the effects of the caffeine in a positive way. Based on this, more rigorous examination of nutmeg itself seemed warranted.
METHODS: Whole dried nutmeg was obtained from a local health food store. A nutmeg grater was used to reduce several whole fruit to a light beige powder which exuded a dark brown oil when compressed. The powder was then packed manually into gelatin capsules. A dose of 200 mg per kg lean body weight was weighed out, comprised of 15 capsules. On an empty stomach, these were ingested with approximately 8 ounces of water.
RESULTS:
T + 30 min.: Threshold observed within 30-60 minutes as a subtle alteration in light perception, similar to the narcotized vision of cannabis intoxication. There is no obvious pupil dilation, confirming the suspicion that this visual change is not typically precursory to psychedelic phenomena.
T + 6 hrs.: At this point the gradual transition between mild visual changes and true intoxication have become apparent; alterations in perception and memory are quite similar to those of a moderate dose of cannabis. The overall effect is of low-grade Mexican marijuana, but without the unpleasant headache typically associated with such.
T + 9 hrs.: Concentration has become more of a problem than one would expect given the relative lack of visual and auditory distortion. Still no obvious psychedelic phenomena. Marked xerostomia.
T + 12 hrs.: This appears to be the “peak” of the experience. “Strobe light” visuals, more familiarly associated with hashish and morning glory use, is readily observed. Paradoxically, not even the most minimal time distortion or spatial disorientative effect (typically associated with this type of effect) is observed.
T + 13 hrs.: Mild closed eye geometric patterns are seen. Nothing very impressive. No psychedelic or insightful phenomena. Significant tightening of the muscles. Occasional myoclonic twitches. There is a hyperawareness of movement; in particular, I am very aware of the beating of my heart, which seems to be a “light, cool fluttering.” Careful palpation of the radial pulse and auscultation via stethoscope reveal a normal heart rhythm however.
T + 16 hrs.: A slow drop-off. Perception has now returned to that approximating moderate cannabis intoxication. Xerostomia still pronounced.
T + 24 hrs.:  Things seem to have plateaued. Dry mouth, etc. seems to be relenting, but urinary hesitancy is still marked.
T + 36 hrs.: Residual “clouding of thoughts” makes functioning at work suboptimal. I had not anticipated the effects would persist this long. Fortunately, they are rather subtle at this point.
T + 44 hrs.: Effects are still present, now mostly as a residual “haze” -- despite a subjective recovery of mental faculties, thoughts and concentration are still difficult. Because there is no particular associated psychoemotional euphoria, etc., I find myself impatient for the effects to clear completely.
T + 48 hrs.: A v-e-r-y slow trail-off...
T + 56 hrs.: Effects now almost imperceptible, although still above “threshold.”
CONCLUSIONS:
The drug was well-tolerated, and side effects seemed to be relatively minimal. There was a significant amount of xerosis (abnormal dryness of the mouth, nose, eyes, etc.) as has typically been my experience with psychedelics, in this case more than with psilocybin but less than with unrefined cannabis. Clouding of memory and slowed thinking were more pronounced than with psilocybin or other psychedelics and more typical of what one encounters with higher dose cannabis intoxication. Nausea has previously been reported as a major side effect of nutmeg ingestion, but this was not the case for me. It is possible that taking the dose in the form of capsules rather than raw powder, etc. helped in avoiding this side effect.
The overall effect of intoxication was not an unpleasant one, but it was not significantly insightful. In general, I would say that the effects were very similar to that of moderate dose cannabis ingestion with a few differences.
1. There was a slightly 'cleaner' aspect to ascension, similar to that one would expect to encounter with hashish. The strobe-like visual effects sometimes encountered with cannabis intoxication were present but of a fine fibrillate form.
2. The psychological and emotional insight one experiences with psychedelics was patently absent here. While MDMA and 5-MeO-DIPT have exceptionally intense effects on empathy, nutmeg seemed to fall on the other end of the spectrum, having even less emotional impact than LSD, cannabis, or any other such substance.
3. The duration of effect was exceptionally long. The time from onset to peak was 9-10 hours, and, while the effects had largely subsided (to the point where I could interact normally without effort) after 24 hours, there was a persistent 'haze' which lingered for days afterwards.
4. The physical side effects of the drug seemed to outlast the psychic effects, specifically urinary retention.
RECOMMENDATIONS: This substance has little to offer those seeking an enlightening experience, but may be of interest to selected “recreational” users. Its excessively protracted effects limit its recreational usage to persons having AT LEAST 24 hours of time to dedicate to the experience. The extended, non-psychedelic, non-enlightening experience left me feeling a bit impatient, waiting for the physical effects to wear off and allow me to “get on with things.” The caveat here is that I have a similar impatience toward cannabis products.” While an avid explorer about 10 years ago, I no longer feel that I “learn” anything useful from cannabis/THC “trips.”
More novice explorers and persons who seek more “recreation” than “exploration” may find nutmeg more gratifying. It is my opinion that better drugs are readily available, making nutmeg more of a novelty than anything else. As with most who have partaken, I doubt that I will try it again. Nevertheless, since it is legal, it may appeal to people without access to more restricted substances. If a slow-to-peak, lingering experience which falls between cannabis and hashish (with a hint of LSD) and lasts for a few days sounds good to you, then nutmeg may be your cup of tea. Otherwise, stick with using it to flavor your cup of coffee.

OptionType representing matching behaviour for Listeners.
An object's set of CbType's 'matches' against an OptionType iff.
the OptionType's includes list intersects the object's set of CbTypes
and the OptionType's excludes list 'does not' intersect the object's set
of CbTypes.
option = new OptionType(A, B
, C, D
);
obj.cbTypes =
// => does not match option.
obj.cbTypes = A
// => matches the option
obj.cbTypes = A, C
// => does not match option.
The optionType's includes and excludes list are managed to be always
disjoint: The action of including an already excluded type serves to
remove it from the excludes list, equalliy excluding an already included
type serves to remove it from the includes list.
var option = new OptionType();
option.including(A); // option = {A
:
}
option.excluding(A); // option = {
:
}
option.excluding(A); // option = {
:A
}
option.including(A); // option = {A
:
}
