It's our lifeblood and passion, and where Gold Tree began.
The process
It begins with a screen: a fine wire mesh stretched onto a metal frame. The first step is to coat it with emulsion, which covers all of the holes in the screen. Emulsion is light sensitive, and has to dry in a dark room, and can only
be exposed to yellow light. After it's dry, your chosen design is burned onto the screen with light. The areas that weren't exposed to light, where your design is, are washed away and like magic, your design appears! The next step
is to align it on the press, to make sure the design is going to be printed where it's supposed to be. The last step is where the real magic happens: printing.For each color, ink is applied to the screen, and then pushed across
with a squeegee like tool. It is placed under heat so the ink cures, and then ready to wear!If you have a one color design, your whole design will fit on one screen. If you have two or more, each color is made into a seperation,
and is on it's own screen. Each screen has to be aligned perfectly with each other, or else it won't turn out at all. This is the reason the more colors you have, the more your design will cost.

#nA
#nAobject constructs an n-dimensional array, using object as the value of the :initial-contents argument to make-array.
For example, #2A((0 1 5) (foo 2 (hot dog))) represents a 2-by-3 matrix:
0 1 5 foo 2 (hot dog)In contrast, #1A((0 1 5) (foo 2 (hot dog))) represents a vector of length 2 whose elements are lists:
(0 1 5) (foo 2 (hot dog))#0A((0 1 5) (foo 2 (hot dog))) represents a zero-dimensional array whose sole element is a list:
((0 1 5) (foo 2 (hot dog)))#0A foo represents a zero-dimensional array whose sole element is the symbol foo. The notation #1A foo is not valid because foo is not a sequence.
If some dimension of the array whose representation is being parsed is found to be 0, all dimensions to the right (i.e., the higher numbered dimensions) are also considered to be 0.

Girl on the Bridge (La fille sur le pont) A film review by Max Messier Copyright © 2000 filmcritic.com
It's always rewarding to find in today's cinema a stark reminder of how powerful the emotion of love can alter perception, reality, and reason within a person. Girl on the Bridge (La fille sur le pont) is one of those stark reminders, a brutally grim and honest film of unacquainted desire and the fearful reservations that follow two individuals looking for that unattainable completion of one's faith and one's heart.
This disturbing and brilliant new film by renowned French filmmaker Patrice Leconte - director of such films as Monsieur Hire, The Hairdresser's Husband, and Ridicule - follows the tale of Adele, a lovelorn girl who has been through too many one night stands and promises of purposes. She remarks in an unflinching five-minute opening monologue, "I see my future like a waiting room in a train station, and I sit there waiting for something to happen." In this grim monologue, the director Leconte portrays Adele, played with striking beauty and prose by French singer Vanessa Paradis, as neither a slut nor a vixen but as an emotionally confused girl who doesn't understand the difference between love and sex.
Later, Adele ends up later that night on the edge of a bridge overlooking the Seine, contemplating the murky waters below. From the darkness appears an older man named Gabor, played by the great French actor Daniel Auteuil, a knife-throwing expert in need of an assistant for his performances. He tries to persuade Adele from jumping but she ends up in the river; naturally, he saves her. While in the hospital, Gabor convinces Adele that her luck is changing by demonstrating his extrasensory talents. She joins him as his assistant, and during their first performance, Adele develops a telepathic link with Gabor that directs his blades.
Their journey continues to places such as Monaco and San Reno as Adele and Gabor use their clairvoyance to win big at casinos and amaze audiences with the knife-throwing performances. But their relationship sours because of the attention Adele gets, and the film gets more disturbing from there.
Director Patrice Leconte chose the shoot the film in black and white to add to the timelessness of the picture. He also chose a variety of music, such as Benny Goodman, Marianne Faithful, Brenda Lee, and the Istanbul Oriental Ensemble, to make the movie sound quite diverse. The tight dialogue follows a solid pattern of delivering poignancy with the pretensions of the subject matter as Adele and Gabor subconsciousness move towards each other's hearts and minds. The telepathic connection between the characters is handled with conviction and makes you believe that the link is solely derived from the unity of the two minds and hearts.
The film also holds distinct elements of a dream state. The first moments of the film give ground for interpretation that the mysteries and travels of Adele are in fact the fantasies of a lonely and depressed girl looking for something, anything in this world. The direct honesty of Gabor and his unadulterated feelings for Adele seem to reach out to the audience and pull them into the complexity of his love and desire for this woman. His words are brutal but fair and demand no sympathy from Adele.
Admittedly, French cinema is a tough beast to understand. The stark dialogue is uncommon in American cinema and the development of characters is sometimes without a roadmap and lacks the emotional shortcuts of Hollywood. Good French cinema is powerful and demands your attention for full appreciation. Give Girl on the Bridge all of your mind.

I'm getting this fairly consistently these last few days: After 4 or 5 hours of use, Visual Studio 2005 starts to just use 100% CPU. It doesn't hang (quite), just uses all CPU available even if you minimize it or close all documents. Closing VS and opening it again usually cures it, but it is really annoying. Usually this happens regardless of the kinf of projects I've been working on: I've seen it while doing SSIS work, WinForms or just having a couple of C# and XML files open.
When, oh when, are we going to get SP1?

--- title: Using Voronoi Diagrams to Analyse Property Sales author: '' date: '2020-01-06' slug: using-voronoi-diagrams-to-analyse-property-sales categories: [] tags: - data viz - geospatial analysis subtitle: '' summary: '' external_link: '' image: caption: '' focal_point: '' preview_only: no url_code: '' url_pdf: '' url_slides: '' url_video: '' slides: '' ---
Voronoi diagrams are a way of partitioning a plane into a series of regions defined by the location of a set of points, often referred to as ‘seeds’. In a Voronoi diagram, every seed is surrounded by a region that covers the area of the plane that is closer to that seed than any other.
When these diagrams are overlaid onto maps or analysed alongside other data, they can reveal valuable insights - for instance, voronoi diagrams are used in sports analytics to identify how the movement of football players can open or close down space; retailers use voronoi diagrams to identify where they can open a new store with a large population catchment.
Voronoi diagrams are easy to produce in R using the sf
package. In this post, I’ll be creating a voronoi diagram to analyse sales of flats in London.
The data comes from the Land Registry, who publish the details of every residential property sale in the United Kingdom. It’s possible to download yearly and historic files from here.
For this analysis, we’ll look at 2018 and 2019 sales only. Note that the data records the property type of each transaction, coded as “D” for detached, “S” for semi-detached, “T” for terrace, “F” for flat and “O” for other. We’ll remove other from the data here.
library(tidyverse)
col_names <- c("Transaction unique identifier", "Price", "Date of Transfer", "Postcode",
"Property Type", "Old/New", "Duration", "PAON", "SAON", "Street",
"Locality", "Town/City", "District", "County", "PPD Category Type",
"Record Status - monthly file only")
house_prices_2019 <- read_csv("pp-2019.csv", col_names = col_names)
house_prices_2018 <- read_csv("pp-2018.csv", col_names = col_names)
house_prices <- bind_rows(list(house_prices_2019, house_prices_2018))
house_prices <- house_prices %>%
janitor::clean_names() %>%
select("id" = 1, price, date_of_transfer, postcode, property_type, old_new,
"ppd_cat" = ppd_category_type)
house_prices <- house_prices %>%
mutate(date_of_transfer = lubridate::ymd(date_of_transfer),
year_of_transfer = lubridate::year(date_of_transfer))
house_prices <- house_prices %>% filter(property_type %in% c("D", "S", "T", "F"))
Extracting London’s Sales
While the data contains the postcode of every property, it is not geocoded. Fortunately, there is a csv of every London postcode and a rough latitude and longitude available to download here.
By using inner_join()
on the house_prices
and postcodes
data, we can return all records that occur in both datasets. This leaves us with all property sales with a London postcode, which are also now geocoded.
postcodes <- data.table::fread("London postcodes.csv") %>%
select("postcode" = 1, "lat" = Latitude, "long" = Longitude) %>%
mutate(postcode = str_replace_all(postcode, " ", ""))
house_prices$postcode <- str_replace_all(house_prices$postcode, " ", "")
house_prices <- house_prices %>%
inner_join(postcodes, by = "postcode")
Reading in shape files of London’s boroughs and wards
We’ll want to visualise the property sales on a map, so we’ll also read in two shape files - one of London’s 33 boroughs, and one of the capital’s c. 630 wards.
library(sf)
london_boroughs <- read_sf("london map", "London_Borough_Excluding_MHW") %>%
select("la_name" = 1, "la_code" = 2) %>%
st_transform(crs = 27700)
london_wards <- read_sf("london wards", "London_Ward_CityMerged") %>%
select("ward_name" = 1, "ward_code" = 2, "la_name" = 3, "la_code" = 4) %>%
st_transform(crs = 27700)
Finally, we’ll convert the house prices data to a spatial dataframe object, so we can use the sf
functions on the data.
house_prices_sf <- st_as_sf(house_prices, coords = c("long", "lat"), crs = 4326) %>%
st_transform(crs = 27700)
house_prices_sf

Tower Hamlets is a large London borough that stretches from the edge of the City of London in the west, to Canary Wharf and Stratford in the east.
The median price of a flat in Tower Hamlets is around £465,000. Though as we can see from the density plot below, there’s a good deal of variation in flat prices.
library(scales)
tower_hamlets_prices <- house_prices_sf %>%
filter(property_type == "F") %>%
st_intersection(london_boroughs %>% filter(la_name == "Tower Hamlets"))
tower_hamlets_prices %>%
ggplot(aes(price)) +
geom_density() +
scale_x_log10() +
annotation_logticks(side = "b") +
labs(title = "Distribution of flat prices in Tower Hamlets, 2018-19",
x = "Median price (£, log scale)")
Visualising the data
One way of interrogating the data is to summarise the flat prices by ward, a small(ish) unit of geography in the UK. We can see from the map below that flat prices are more expensive in the west of Tower Hamlets, which borders on the City of London. However, we can’t tell from this visualisation where the individual sales took place. Nor can we tell how many sales there were in each ward or where in the ward they took place.
 They don’t have any real relationship with our data, and most Londoners would struggle to tell you which ward they live in (by contrast, almost everyone knows which Borough they live in).
tower_hamlets_prices %>%
st_join(x = london_wards %>% filter(la_name == "Tower Hamlets")) %>%
group_by(ward_name) %>%
summarise(median_price = median(price)) %>%
ggplot(aes(fill = median_price)) +
geom_sf() +
scale_fill_distiller(palette = "Spectral")
We can resolve this to an extent by plotting the individual sales, but there’s so much overlap between the points it’s difficult to pick out any real trends here. It is noteworthy, however, that there are large gaps in the map where no sales occurred, likely due to these areas being occupied by office blocks, retail spaces, green spaces or other non-residential uses.
breaks <- c(seq(0, 4*10^6, 2*10^5))
tower_hamlets_prices %>%
ggplot(aes(color = price), alpha = 0.4) +
geom_sf() +
scale_color_distiller(palette = "Spectral", trans = "log", breaks = breaks) +
guides(color = guide_colorbar(ncol = 1, barheight = unit(120, units = "mm")))
Using a Voronoi Diagram
Enter the Voronoi diagram. Using the st_voronoi()
function from the sf
package, we can generate a new geometry based on where the sales occurred, allowing us to examine how concentrated sales are in particular areas. When visualising the data, we can also colour-code the Voronoi cell according to sale price, which will reveal how prices vary in different locations.
One thing to bear in mind is that Voronoi diagrams rely on unique coordinates, which our data doesn’t have. As many properties share the same postcode, they’ll have the same latitude and longitude. To remedy this, we’ll apply a very small jitter to each point using the st_jitter()
function.
tower_hamlets_jitter <- tower_hamlets_prices %>% st_jitter(factor = 0.001)
We can then create the Voronoi geometry using the code below.
tower_hamlets_voronoi <- tower_hamlets_jitter %>%
st_union() %>%
st_voronoi() %>%
st_collection_extract(type = "POLYGON") %>%
st_sf(crs = 27700) %>%
st_intersection(st_intersection(london_boroughs %>% filter(la_name == "Tower Hamlets")))
tower_hamlets_voronoi <- tower_hamlets_voronoi %>% st_join(tower_hamlets_jitter)
We can then visualise the data using geom_sf()
. The resulting visualisation makes a couple trends clearer than the previous dot plot and choropleth.
First, looking at the south of the outline of Tower Hamlets, which borders the river Thames, we can see a narrow band of very expensive flats. These flats, located on the river, generally sold for more than £1 million.
Second, we can see that there are quite a few sales of flats for somewhere between £100,000 and £200,000 in the Borough - a steep discount from the median flat price. It looks as though there were more of these sales in the far east of Tower Hamlets, which borders on Stratford; and in the very South, in an area called Millwall.
Third, looking closely there are some highly concentrated areas where many properties close together were transacted - this is possibly due to new flats in a development being brought to market, which may have all been sold around the same time.
library(JLLify)
tower_hamlets_map <- london_boroughs %>% filter(la_name == "Tower Hamlets")
breaks <- c(seq(0, 10^6, 10^5), seq(2*10^6, 5*10^6, 10^6))
tower_hamlets_voronoi %>%
ggplot() +
geom_sf(aes(fill = price), col = NA) +
geom_sf(data = tower_hamlets_map, fill = NA, color = "lightgrey") +
scale_fill_distiller(name = "", palette = "YlGnBu", trans = "log", breaks = breaks,
labels = dollar_format(prefix = "£", accuracy = 1, scale = 0.001, suffix = "k")) +
guides(fill = guide_colorbar(ncol = 1, barheight = unit(10, units = "inches"))) +
theme_map_dark() +
theme(legend.position = "right") +
labs(title = "Sale prices of flats in Tower Hamlets, 2018-19")
An alternative way of visualising the data is to use a diverging colour scale centred around the median flat price. Here, we can see in red the concentration of sales above the median flat price in the western and southern parts of Tower Hamlets, compared with greater concentration of blue tones in the east.
median_price <- median(tower_hamlets_prices$price)
tower_hamlets_voronoi %>%
ggplot() +
geom_sf(aes(fill = price), col = NA) +
geom_sf(data = tower_hamlets_map, fill = NA, color = "lightgrey") +
scale_fill_gradient2(name = "", midpoint = log(median_price),
low = "#04249C", high = "#EC2434",
trans = "log", breaks = breaks,
labels = dollar_format(prefix = "£", accuracy = 1, scale = 0.001, suffix = "k")) +
guides(fill = guide_colorbar(ncol = 1, barheight = unit(10, units = "inches"))) +
theme_map_dark() +
theme(legend.position = "right") +
labs(title = "Sale prices of flats in Tower Hamlets, 2018-19")
We can easily take our Voronoi geometry and overlay it onto a map using the leaflet
package. This has the added benefit that we can use a tooltip to surface the price of any transaction when we hover over the geometry. This makes it easier to pick out the extreme values, including those flats which sold for less than £100,000.
library(leaflet)
color_pal <- colorNumeric(log(tower_hamlets_voronoi$price), palette = "YlGnBu", reverse = TRUE)
tower_hamlets_voronoi %>%
st_transform(crs = 4326) %>%
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles(provider = providers$CartoDB.DarkMatter) %>%
addPolygons(data = st_transform(tower_hamlets_map, crs = 4326),
fillOpacity = 0, opacity = 1, weight = 1,
color = "white") %>%
addPolygons(fillColor = ~color_pal(log(price)), color = "lightgrey",
weight = 0.2, opacity = 1, fillOpacity = 0.7,
label = ~paste0("Sale price: ", dollar(price, prefix = "£")))
An alternative approach to the above method is to use stations as the seeds of the Voronoi diagrams, and then aggregate property transactions within each of the resulting Voronoi cells.
In many ways, this is a more intuitive way of analysing locations - people tend to be much more familiar with the area around their closest station than they would be with the borough or ward they live in, and will often look to move to or buy a property close to a station that offers them an easier commute.
Doogle.co.uk provides a full list of all the stations in London, including both underground, overground and main line stations. We’ll read this in now.
stations <- read_csv("https://www.doogal.co.uk/LondonStationsCSV.ashx") %>%
select("station" = 1, "x" = 2, "y" = 3) %>%
st_as_sf(coords = c("x", "y"), crs = 27700)
How much does a flat cost in west London?
Hounslow, Ealing and Brent are three boroughs located in outer west London. These areas encompass a broad range of neighbourhoods - including locations like Feltham, which boarders Heathrow airport; Chiswick, a leafy suburb on the river Thames; and Queens Park, a highly-desirable and expensive area north of Kensington.
We’ll here create a new Voronoi diagram using the stations located in these three London boroughs. This divides the boroughs into Voronoi 65 cells, one for each station.
west_map <- london_boroughs %>%
filter(la_name %in% c("Hounslow","Ealing","Brent")) %>%
st_union()
stations_west <- stations %>% st_intersection(west_map)
west_voronoi <- stations_west %>%
st_union() %>%
st_voronoi() %>%
st_collection_extract(type = "POLYGON") %>%
st_sf(crs = 27700) %>%
st_intersection(west_map) %>%
st_join(stations_west)
west_voronoi %>%
ggplot() +
geom_sf() +
labs(title = "Voronoi Diagram of stations in Hounslow, Ealing and Brent")
We’ll now join this Voronoi diagram with the housing transactions, looking again only at sales of flats. For each station, we’ll calculate the median house price and number of sales in the surrounding area.
west_voronoi <- west_voronoi %>%
st_join(house_prices_sf %>% filter(property_type == "F"))
west_voronoi_summarised <- west_voronoi %>%
group_by(station) %>%
summarise(price = median(price),
number_sales = n()) %>%
ungroup()
We’ll again use leaflet to visualise the Voronoi diagram. Note that the dots here show the location of the stations.
color_pal <- colorNumeric(log(west_voronoi_summarised$price), palette = "YlGnBu", reverse = TRUE)
west_voronoi_summarised %>%
st_transform(crs = 4326) %>%
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles(provider = providers$CartoDB.DarkMatter) %>%
addCircles(data = st_transform(stations_west, 4326), color = "white") %>%
addPolygons(fillColor = ~color_pal(log(price)), color = "white",
weight = 0.2, opacity = 1, fillOpacity = 0.7,
label = ~paste0(
station, "
",
"Sale price: ", dollar(price, prefix = "£"), "
",
"Number of sales: ", comma(number_sales)) %>% lapply(htmltools::HTML)
)
The main take-away here is that locations in the west of the diagram (such as Feltham, Southall and Northolt) are considerably cheaper than locations in the west (such as Turnham Green, Chiswick Park and Kensal Rise).
However, the more interesting cells are those whose colours contrast with their immediate neighbours. On this reading, Gunnersbury, with a median price of £426,000, looks cheap compared to neighbouring Kew Bridge and Chiswick Park, where median prices in 2018/19 where £530,000 and £590,000 respectively. Similarly, the median flat price in Willesden Green was £435,000, compared with £369,000 in neighbouring Dollis Hill.
Ealing Broadway, where the median flat price was £514,000, looks expensive compared to its neighbouring Voronoi cells, though this may be due to the station being served by both the Central and District underground lines, as well as national services.

Shooting World Cup Final: Manu, Rahi knocked out of 25m air pistol event
by PTIPUTIAN: India's Manu Bhaker and Rahi Sarnobat failed to qualify for the finals of the women's 25m air pistol event at the World Cup Finals here on Wednesday.
Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Manu shot 292 and 291 in the precision and rapid events respectively for a total of 583 in the qualifiers.
While two other shooters, Germany's Doreen Vennekamp and Elena Galiabovitch of Australia, also ended with a qualification score of 583, the German qualified owing to a superior tally of inner 10s.
Manu and Galiabovitch had 17 inner 10s, while Vennekamp shot 23 to be way ahead.
Rahi, on the other hand, endured a disappointing outing. The Asian Games gold-medallist finished bottom of the heap in the qualifiers with a score of 569.

THINGS YOU CAN'T TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT HER (director/writer: Rodrigo Garcia; cinematographer: Emmanuel Lubezki; editor: Amy E. Duddleston; cast: Glenn Close (Dr. Elaine Keener), Cameron Diaz (Carol), Matt Craven (Walter), Calista Flockhart (Christine), Holly Hunter (Rebecca), Gregory Hines (Robert), Kathy Baker (Rose), Valerina Golino (Lilly), Amy Brenneman (Kathy), Danny Woodburn (Albert), Noah Fleiss (Jay), Penny Allen (Nancy), Roma Maffia (Debbie), Elpidia Carrillo (Carmen); Runtime: 106; MGM; 2000)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Noted cinematographer Rodrigo Garcia (son of Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez) makes his directorial debut with this interesting ensemble drama about contemporary life in southern California. There are 5 short vignettes where the characters seamlessly intermesh. There are many cogent small observations made which relate to seeing one's self and others as they truly are. The film won a prize at Cannes last year, but still is not released to theaters in this country. I saw it on its Showtime TV debut.
The first vignette, entitled This Is Dr. Keener, is about a divorced, childless middle-aged doctor who is looking after her elderly mother and is disappointed that a workplace doctor she is pursuing, won't return her phone calls. Dr. Keener (Glenn Close) is stunned by the accurate comments of a young tarot card reader, Christine (Calista Flockhart), who exposes her false pretenses at happiness and calls her the great pretender, who because of her negative behavior ruins her chances at love. She holds out hope that someone new will come into her life, a much younger man.
In Fantasies About Rebecca, the vignette I liked the best, an attractive, self-confident 39-year-old bank manager Rebecca (Holly Hunter) learns that she is pregnant. When she tells her longtime, married boyfriend (Gregory Hines), it is tacitly agreed that she will not have the baby. While waiting for the abortion operation, she has a spontaneous fling with an office assistant, Walter (Matt Craven). After she has the abortion, performed by Dr. Keener, she breaks down in tears in the street, as her painful life hits home and she realizes that it is more than likely she will never have a child.
In Someone for Rose, a divorced, middle-aged children's book author (Kathy Baker), is surprised to find herself romantically interested in her new neighbor (Danny Woodburn), a very outspoken and articulate dwarf, who works as a hospital bookkeeper.
In the fourth vignette, Good Night Lilly, Good Night Christine, Calista Flockhart's character reappears as the lover to the dying Lilly (Valerina Golino). The girls go over how they met and fell in love, and how meaningful their romance was.
The final vignette, Love Waits for Kathy, concerns the relationship between Kathy, a sexually frustrated police detective, and her blind and beautiful sister Carol (Cameron Diaz), who deals with her disability with self-confidence, humor and a great awareness of life. Carol notices by scent the man she is dating as she is waiting by the elevator of an office building, and he notices her and walks by without saying hello, which tells her all that she needs to know about what kind of person he is. Kathy meets a colleague (Miguel Sandoval) on the job and decides to date him, while Carol deals with her own problems without self-pity.
Garcia keeps these stories provocative and moving at a fast-pace. This is a smart film that gets amazing characterizations from all the actresses, each giving a wonderfully nuanced performance exhibiting inexplicable and heartfelt emotions.

HIGH NOON a petit film essay by Sean Lee
Directed by Fred Zinneman Written by John Cunningham and Carl Foreman Will Kane: Gary Cooper Amy Kane: Grace Kelly Helen Ramirex: Katy Juardo Harvey Pell: Lloyd Bridges
Evaluation **** (out of ****)
High Noon is a Western. Yet while comfortably residing in this cinematic niche, it transcends the typical spaghetti Western by creating a story far more intricate than cowboys and Indians. The Western as a film medium is by its very nature a remnant of America's dirty little imperialist past. As a result, the idea of the Western seems to connote ideas of prejudice and perhaps even genocide. High Noon, however, does not pander to the audience's expectations of a Western; instead, we find a revisionist film with a female Mexican shopkeeper, few shootouts, and a hero whose intentions are unclear.
Perhaps the most obvious stereotype-breaking element in High Noon is found in the character of Helen Ramirez. Helen is the strongest person in the town. This fact may be overlooked by her decision to leave the town. But in her relationships with people it is clear that she is the more powerful. There are also more subtle ways in which she shows her strength – for one, she is the only character in town who accepts and understands Will Kane's decision to stay. It is also important to note that while the character of Helen Ramirez is certainly uncommon in the films of High Noon's era and genre, her role is effortlessly convincing, unlike some politically correct presidents appearing in movies lately.
One should not overlook other ways in which High Noon defies conventionality, either. The character of Will Kane seems to break just as many rules as the character of Helen Ramirez. Kane never chases his enemies in the film; enemies chase him. Even in the movie's lone gunfight, Kane is always in retreat throughout the scene (though this may also be attributed to the fact that he is outnumbered). This retreat, the unwillingness to confront the other members of the gang before Frank Miller's arrival, is both a result and reflection of the town's own withdrawal.
There's a poignant scene near the end of the film when Will Kane essentially awaits his execution. The camera starts with a close-up of Kane and then cranes dramatically away form him, heightening the sense of Kane's desolation/abandonment. What is particularly stunning, however, is the exaggerated movements of Will Kane; his eyes are wide open and dart back and forth, he blinks involuntarily, he makes a feint to his guns, and wipes the sweat from his brow and with a deliberate movement, flicks his fear into the ground. Kane in this scene shows a great amount of fear, and we find our hero is full of doubt. High Noon does not let us take the hero for granted; instead, it questions whether the hero did the right thing by staying.

I bought some yohimbe from the local pipe shop, because I was curious to see if it would have a viagra-like effect on a woman and if it would affect my boyfriend, in a positive sense!
The guy that sold me it didn't seem to know what dose to take, so I thought I would just try a teaspoon-full of the powder, which I made into a tea with some honey as the taste was overwhelmingly bitter. I took it at about 6 o'clock in the evening and only managed to get about half the cup down as it tasted so vile! My boyfriend had a couple of sips, as thats all that he could manage due to the taste. I was cooking in the kitchen at the time.
About 20 mins after ingestion, I began to feel very 'speedy' and my sight became slightly blurred. At times it actually felt a bit like mdma or ectasy. It was quite enjoyable, though I felt a bit jittery. I was running around the kitchen cutting up vegetables super fast and my heart was racing. When I had finished cooking, I sat down on the sofa and began to fell pretty nauseous. I went to the toilet to throw up, but I couldn't easily vomit. I kept burping loads and feeling awful and eventually, I stuck my fingers down my throat as I felt I needed to get rid of it. By this time I was having palpitations, hot flushes and cold sweats. I was panicking slightly. I threw up violently, with spasms coming from my guts. I felt awful and had a chill going through me, although I did feel a bit better having vomited.
I went to try and eat some of my evening meal and couldn't manage much (not like me at all) and sat feeling like I had the flu-this was about an hour after ingestion. I had blood shot eyes, which my boyfriend and flat mate both commented on. My boyfriend was slighly more energetic than usual, though not so much sexually inclined. And neither was I!  I was still shivering and sweating. Nice.
It is now 2am and I am still feeling a little wired, as if I have drank to much coffee. It is very annoying! When I think about how little I took and the effect it had on me, an explanation may be that I ate some cheese about two hours before ingestion. I had read somewhere that yohimbe is an mao inhibitor, but when I asked the guy in the shop from where it was purchased, he laughed at me. I have since found out that it says all over the internet not to eat cheese/red wine/drink red wine when taking it due to hightened blood pressure and other adverse effects. I should never have listened to that guy!
I didn't feel my sexual appetite was particularly increased by taking yohimbe, but perhaps if I took a little less and followed the instructions, I might have a better time! I won't be doing so for a wee while, mind!
Thanks for reading.

This diagram shows the main OnDs per airline by adding all the fligths for the same OnD during the whole year. Each colored ARC represents an airport. They are sized according to the number of arriving+departing fligths. Each colored CHORD represents the number of flights for a same airline and OnD.
By hovering over a colored ARC you will highlight all the fligths arriving or departing from that airport. By hovering over a colored CHORD you will highlight all the fligths for that OnD among all airlines. Note that the table next to the graph will get updated to display all the airlines competing on that route and their price.
For example, by hovering over the colored ARC corresponding to airport LHR you can discover that AY and BA are competing for the HEL-LHR OnD.

CONTACT
The opening scene of CONTACT is the most awesome (in the sense of "fantastic") several minutes of great special effects as we are hurtled away from Earth at a huge speed. Our planet becomes a globe, getting smaller and smaller as we speed by the other planets of our solar system. Earth becomes a mere dot as we continue the speeding away from our solar system, past the Milky Way and on and on. Simply stunning. That alone is just about worth the price of admission.
CONTACT could not have chosen a better time for its theatrical release. While through the ages people have wondered about the stars and many have begun to wonder if there were possibly some kind of life in some distant solar system, the soft landing of our space probe on Mars must certainly have revived new speculation and interest.
While Carl Sagan, on whose book CONTACT is based, when asked if he believed in some highly-evolved life elsewhere in the infinitely vast universe, replied "The key word in that question is 'believe.' And in my view, you believe only on the basis of compelling evidence." In short, that evidence was never forthcoming to him.
Perhaps more important, however, was how he and his wife, Ann Druyan, felt about how such an event if it ever did happen would affect the inhabitants of our planet. That is what his book is about. What happens to religious belief if it turns out that "there is someone out there" when according to the Bible, God placed Man on Earth; that the stars and sun and moon are there only to give us light. Sagan also wanted us to realize the incredible, just about incomprehensible, vastness of the universe.
What happens to those who see aliens from another planet as potential enemies. In the film, Michael Kitz, (James Woods) is the head of government security, reacting to the news that we are getting a message form outer space as a time for increased security.
Ever since Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) was a little child, she was interested in stars and space. Many were the hours she spent listening to her short wave radio hoping to hear something other than static from outer space. While still young, her father died. Ellie continued her studies and went on to become a respected scientist in the field of radio. Pretty nearly the whole scientific community looked upon her obsession as being on the kook side but her persistence got her some time to use the satellite antennas to search the heavens.
Hour after hour, day after day, Ellie listened until one day she heard something odd, something she had never heard before, and it had a pattern. It was coming from a distant star, Vega. Getting her fellow scientists to monitor the sounds, they discover that the noises (sounding like grunts from a Jurassic Park dinosaur) were in fact spaced to coincide with prime numbers. That was proof this was not some strange static. Idiots such as Michael Kitz wanted to know how come the messages were not in English. Ellie had to explain to him that English is not likely to be spoken in other solar systems but mathematics would be a universal language.
Quickly, all the nations begin to ponder the significance while the hucksters get busy with Vega fairs and people come flocking to them as if to a picnic . . . or looking at the antennas as they would when they believe a picture of Jesus is weeping. In short, the world is in a turmoil and so are their leaders. President Clinton gives some reassuring words on TV.
The story has many facets, all of interest. Jodie Foster give her usual wonderful performance. Palmer Joss (Matthew McConaughey), is a respected religious scholar and high up in the government hierarchy. He and Ellie are in love . . . more or less. S R Hadden (John Hurt), is an eccentric billionaire who takes an interest in Ellie's behalf to help her combat those who would thwart her. For instance, the first trip to VEGA is not given to Ellie who is most deserving, but to some other prominent scientist, David Drumlin (Tom Skerritt). Rachel Constantine (Angela Bassett) is the President's press secretary.
CONTACT is one terrific film. The sets, which include a space ship readied to visit Vega, are perfect. Many are the questions that are raised as various events unfold. These are answered in a most satisfying conclusion. There was one point where I thought there was a cop-out; I could not believe Sagan would have opted for that. However it turned out to be logical, not at all the cop-out I had feared and I sighed with relief. I wanted nothing to spoil this most entertaining, exciting and informative movie that will give you pause to ponder some of the questions it raised.

The art of revolutionary wars
by Agus Dermawan T.Indonesia’s struggle for independence has inspired artists in many disciplines. Starting over 200 years ago, the Indonesian people waged wars against Dutch colonialism sporadically and in different regions. These conflicts include the Diponegoro War in Central Java ( 1825 ), the Buleleng War in Bali (1846 and 1848), the Cut Nyak Dien War in Aceh ( 1873 ), the November 10 War in Surabaya ( 1945 ) and the War on Military Aggression in Yogyakarta (1947 and 1948). The events have inspired Indonesian artists to create works of art to memorialize and honor the heroic figures of the time. Cinematic depictions of the colonial struggle include Pedjoeang (Fighters, Usmar Ismail, 1960), Tjoet Nya’ Dhien (Eros Djarot, 1988), animated film Battle of Surabaya – November 10th (Aryanto Yuniawan, 2015) and Perburuan (The Fugitive, Richard Oh, 2019). In literature, the popula...

Or Happy Holidays for the politically infantile. Anyway I wanted to wish you all the best in case I don't post anything else before Christmas. I will probably talk at you prior to the new year.  So here are a couple of random Christmasy images to serve as a substitute for actual Christmas cards for all the readers out there.
I hope that Santa leaves something nice and photographic for you under the tree. I will probably not get any of my age old lust objects, like that Para FB thing this year. All I can hope for is a couple of boxes of 8x10 TRI-X or something - I don't think I have been good enough for anything big and giant and expensive.
Well talk about New Years resolutions - at least the photographic kind around New Years or so. I have plenty ofthem. With respect for the photos - I cannot help but take pictures of shiny stuff - call me easily amused by shiny objects. The not so shiny one is an ariel view of the snow in my front yard the other day - that is about as close to snow as I get. I didn't want to leave you color photo people out so here is a shiny object for you to.
Best Wishes

Reports: PSG Identify Barca Superstar As Mbappe Replacement
by SL InternationalAmid fears they could lose Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified an FC Barcelona superstar as a possible replacement.
Read: Ronaldo Facing Two-Year Ban?
PSG are facing an uphill battle to secure the future of star man Mbappe, who has been the subject of intense courtship by Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane in recent weeks.
The Frenchman's advances, which included a suggestion that the 20-year-old "dreamed of playing for Real Madrid", drew the ire of PSG sporting director Leonardo, who publicly hit back at Los Blancos manager's uninvited comments.

Nonetheless, the reigning Ligue 1 champions are seemingly preparing for the eventuality that Mbappe might leave and have reportedly identified the France international's 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning teammate Antoine Griezmann as the ideal replacement.
The reports originate from FourFourTwo, and it has been further claimed that PSG are undeterred by the fact that the 28-year-old only recently signed for the Blaugrana, and that he has been on the French club's radar for a long period of time.

Les Parisiens reportedly want Mbappe to extend his contract at the Parc des Princes, but are said to have nonetheless placed a €300 million (R4.8 billion) price tag on his head.
Do you think Mbappe will join Real eventually? Share your thoughts by commenting in the section below.

Hash and Arrays, what's the difference?
Nichole Shelton
November 16, 2014
What's an Array?
An array is an ordered integer indexed collection. Say what? It's a list that is ordered numerically. Arrays can be used to build data structures. When you're writing code and you want to look up the values you look them up based on the number that corresponds to the list. Sounds confusing I know, but don't worry. Let's take a look at an example. I'm going to make a list of my favorite tv shows.
fav_tv_show = ["The Mindy Project", "Chopped", "How to Get Away with Murder"]
To look up the items in your array, you would need to call them using the index number that is associated with the object. The first object is 0, the second is 1 and so on. Let's take a look at how you would look up a value with an array.
fav_tv_show[2] How to Get Away with Murder
What's a Hash?
Nope, totally not referring to my favorite breakfast item sweet potato hash. We're talking a hash (sometimes referred to as a hash table) that's pretty similar to an array. The difference with an array is that it is a collection of key and value pairs. The keys you assign and are arbitrary. Each pair must be unique and can be a name or a number. Let's see how a hash is organized using our tv show example.
fav_tv_show {"drama" => "How to Get Away With Murder", "comedy" => "The Mindy Project", "reality" => Chopped}
When looking up a hash you use the key to return the value that is paired to it. Let's take a look at how you would look up a value with a hash.fav_tv_show["reality"] Chopped
And that's a basic description of the differences between a hash and an array.

Have chosen to use Perl because;
Going to try and keep it neat and maintainable through the help of the Eclipse - Epic plugin.
Never used perl before so where do we begin? At the beginning I guess:
To check if already have a perl interpreter installed type the following into a command prompt:
perl -v
It should return something like:
This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
Copyright 1987-2010, Larry Wall
Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the
GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.
Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on
this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl". If you have access to the
Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page.
If it doesn’t, download one for the relevant platform:
| Platform | Where |
|---|---|
| mac | pretty likely already installed |
| windows | could get activestate or strawberryperl |
| linux | consult package manager |
Once have the perl interpreter installed have access to the perl shell with:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan
Perl is up to version 5 now and that means there is tons of help out there. Some of the obvious places are;
perldoc perl
from a command prompt will get you a table of contents and some basic infomration about Perl. The pages your probably going to use are the Perl FAQ and ‘perlfunc’, which describes the built-in functions. Page 10 in here also lists help sources.As with all help / how-to’s these established sources sometimes had varying levels of details for some of the start-up type questions like; @INC and the environment, working out what modules are installed or what to call things. Usually had to put together a couple to get the answer (like the ones below).
As start to use (pardon the pun), perl and edit first modules, a number of the errors popped up relating to modules that were ‘using’ but couldn’t find. This will probably be a path issue but the fix isn’t that obvious as there are gazillions of different ideas out there like:
Somewhere in this list (start at the top and work down) and google will probably be the answer.
There are a gazilion perl modules or bits of code already written to do all sorts of things, so where is it?
I am using macOSX so perl was installed already and installed the cpan addon package manager by entering the code below in a terminal:
sudo cpan App::cpanminus
Now install any module you can find on cpan sudo cpanm Module::Name
.
To find what modules are currently installed, as with most things perl there seems to be multitude of ways:
instmodsh
to see all installed modulesperldoc -l Net::UPnP
to see if Net::UPnP is installed, this will show where the module (.pm) isperl -MTie::Hash -e 1
to see if Tie::Hash is installed, this will run it so if not installed will get and error message and if installed then will need to break executionperlmodinstall
manpageTo get the most out of EPIC, need to install some supporting perl modules:
To do that we ran the following code:
sudo cpanm Module::Starter
sudo cpanm Perl::Tidy
sudo cpanm Perl::Critic
sudo cpanm Pad::Walker
When configuring these into EPIC preferences need to find where the modules installed to as couldn’t use the default locations.
Understanding how perldoc works, in particular the syntax for embedding pod into code and then using it to auto-generate documentation was a great place to start understanding perl. In doing this first, got to see code examples, work out how to see and fix mistakes like forgetting to put in spaces and semicolons at end of lines and had to use the perl interpreter and instal modules. Also was an easy, practical way to start looking at the perl language, and actually got to produce something helpful.
Got some help from the following:
The first pod we did was inside one of the pDLNA modules:
=head1 NAME
package PDLNA::SSDP - core module for Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP).
=head1 DESCRIPTION
When a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled device joins a network.....
=cut
over
, begin/end html
, back
and cut
, these give the pod structure (over to start the list and back to end it), also using html inside the pod meant could link between the resulting html docs, so when you click on an internal library you get taken to the htmlpod for that module.=head1 LIBRARY FUNCTIONS
=over 12
=item internal libraries
=begin html

PDLNA::Config,
PDLNA::Database,
PDLNA::Devices,
PDLNA::Log.

=end html
=item external libraries
L<IO::Socket::INET>,
L<IO::Socket::Multicast>,
L<Net::Netmask>.
=back
=cut
=item add_receive_socket()
=cut
back
at start of the podblock below, this is to close off the headings above. Note also the use of L<<lt>...E<gt>>
this was a fiddly way to get the email link to work, the other web link was easier.=back
=head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE
Copyright (C) 2010-2013 Stefan Heumader<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the ...... If not, see L<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
=cut
Once had put all the pod into the modules then created a perl program as below to generate html files like the one for ssdp.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch;
use Pod::Simple::XHTML;
my $in_dir = 'put directory in here';
my $out_dir = $in_dir . 'POD';
my $convert = Pod::Simple::HTMLBatch->new;
$convert->html_render_class('Pod::Simple::XHTML');
$convert->add_css('http://www.perl.org/css/perl.css');
$convert->css_flurry(0);
$convert->contents_page_start;
$convert->contents_page_end;
$convert->javascript_flurry(0);
$convert->contents_file(0);
$convert->batch_convert( [ $in_dir ], $out_dir );
There seemed to be different naming conventions for different versions of perl but we’re using:
This seems to be ok and works in the EPIC plugin to ensure that get nice syntax colouring.

Well, once upon a time there were a woman, and she baked five pies. And when they come out of the oven, they was that overbaked the crust were too hard to eat.
But the gal, she says to herself, “Well, if they’ll come agin, I’ll ate ‘em now.” And she set to work and ate ‘em all, first and last.
Well, come supper time, the woman she said, “Goo you and git one o’ them there pies; I daresay they’ve come agin, now.”
The gal, she went an’ she looked, and there warn’t nothin’ but the dishes. So back she come and says she, “Noo, they ain’t come agin.”
“Not none on ‘em?” says the mother.
“Not none on ‘em,” says she.
“Well, come agin, or not come agin,” says the woman, “I’ll ha’ one for supper.”
“But you can’t, if they ain’t come,” says the gal.
“But I can,” says she. “Goo you and bring the best of ‘em.”
“Best or worst,” says the gal, “I’ve ate ‘em all, and you can’t ha’ one till that’s come agin.”
Well, the woman she were wholly bate, and she took her spinnin’ to the door to spin, and as she span she sang:
“My darter ha’ ate five, five pies to-day—
My darter ha’ ate five, five pies to-day.”
The king, he were a comin’ down the street and he hard her sing, but what she sang he couldn’t hare, so he stopped and said:
“What were that you was a singin of, woman?”
The woman, she were ashamed to let him hare what her darter had been a-doin’, so she sang, ‘stids o’ that:
“My darter ha’ spun five, five skeins to-day—
My darter ha’ spun five, five skeins to-day.”
“S’ars o’ mine!” said the king, “I never heerd tell of any one as could do that.”
Then he said: “Look you here, I want a wife, and I’ll marry your darter. But look you here,” says he, “’leven months out o’ the year she shall have all the vittles she likes to eat, and all the gownds she likes to git, and all the cumpny she likes to hev; but the last month o’ the year she’ll ha’ to spin five skeins iv’ry day, an’ if she doon’t, I shall kill her.”
“All right,” says the woman; for she thowt what a grand marriage that was. And as for them five skeins, when te come tew, there’d be plenty o’ ways of gettin’ out of it, and likeliest, he’d ha’ forgot about it.
Well, so they were married. An’ for ‘leven months the gal had all the vittles she liked to ate, and all the gownds she liked to git, and all the cumpny she liked to have.
But when the time was gettin’ oover, she began to think about them there skeins an’ to wonder if he had ‘em in mind. But not one word did he say about ‘em, an’ she whoolly thowt he’d forgot ‘em.
Howsivir, the last day o’ the last month, he takes her to a room she’d niver set eyes on afore. There worn’t nothin’ in it but a spinnin’ wheel and a stool. An’ says he, “Now, me dear, hare you’ll be shut in to-morrow with some vittles and some flax, and if you hain’t spun five skeins by the night, yar hid’ll goo off.”
An’ awa’ he went about his business.
Well, she were that frightened. She’d allus been such a gatless gal, that she didn’t se much as know how to spin, an’ what were she to dew to-morrer, with no one to come nigh her to help her? She sat down on a stool in the kitchen, and lork! How she did cry!
Howsivir, all on a sudden she hard a sort of a knockin’ low down on the door.  That looked up at her right kewrious, an’ that said:
“What are yew a-cryin’ for?”
“Wha’s that to yew?” says she.
“Niver yew mind,” that said, “but tell me what you’re a cryin’ for.”
“That oon’t dew me noo good if I dew,” says she.
“Yew doon’t know that,” that said, an’ twirled that’s tail round.
“Well,” says she, “that oon’t dew no harm, if that doon’t dew no good,” and she upped and told about the pies an’ the skeins an’ everything.

That looked out o’ the corners o’ that’s eyes an’ that said: “I’ll give you three guesses every night to guess my name, an’ if you hain’t guessed it afore the month’s up, yew shall be mine.”
Well, she thowt she’d be sure to guess that’s name afore the month was up. “All right,” says she, “I agree.”
“All right,” that says, an’ lork! how that twirled that’s tail.
Well, the next day, har husband, he took her inter the room, an’ there was the flax an’ the day’s vittles.
“Now, there’s the flax,” says he, “an’ if that ain’t spun up this night, off goo yar hid.” An’ then he went out an’ locked the door.
He’d hardly goon, when there was a knockin’ agin the winder.
She upped and she oped it, and there sure enough was the little oo’d thing a settin’ on the ledge.
“Where’s the flax?” says he.
“Here te be,” says she. And she gonned it to him.
Well, come the evenin’, a knockin’ come agin to the winder. She upped an’ she oped it, and there were the little oo’d thing, with five skeins of flax on his arm.
“Here te be,” says he, an’ he gonned it to her.
“Now, what’s my name?” says he.
“What, is that Bill?” says she.
“Noo, that ain’t,” says he. An’ he twirled his tail.
“Is that Ned?” says she.
“Noo, that ain’t,” says he. An’ he twirled his tail.
“Well, is that Mark?” says she.
“Noo, that ain’t,” says he. An’ he twirled his tail harder, an’ awa’ he flew.
Well, when har husban’ he come in, there was the five skeins riddy for him.
“I see I shorn’t hev for to kill you to-night, me dare,” says he. “You’ll hev yar vittles and yar flax in the mornin’,” says he, an’ away he goes.
Well, ivery day the flax an’ the vittles, they was browt, an’ ivery day that there little black impet used for to come mornin’s and evenin’s. An’ all the day the darter, she set a tryin’ fur to think of names to say to it when te come at night. But she niver hot on the right one. An’ as that got to-warts the ind o’ the month, the impet that began for to look soo maliceful, an’ that twirled that’s tail faster an’ faster each time she gave a guess.
At last te came to the last day but one. The impet that come at night along o’ the five skeins, an’ that said:
“What, hain’t yew got my name yet?”
“Is that Nicodemus?” says she.
“Noo, t’ain’t,” that says.
“Is that Sammle?” says she.
“Noo, t’ain’t,” that says.
“A-well, is that Methusalem?” says she.
“Noo, t’ain’t that norther,” he says.
Then that looks at her with that’s eyes like a cool o’ fire, an that says, “Woman, there’s only to-morrer night, an’ then yar’ll be mine!” An’ away te flew.
Well, she felt that horrud. Howsomediver, she hard the king a-comin’ along the passage.  So they brought supper an’ another stool for him, and down the tew they sot.
Well, he hadn’t eat but a mouthful or so, when he stops and begins to laugh.
“What is it?” says she.
“A-why,” says he, “I was out a-huntin’ to-day, an’ I got away to a place in the wood I’d never seen afore. An’ there was an old chalk pit. An’ I heerd a sort of a hummin’, kind o’. So I got off my hobby, an’ I went right quiet to the pit, an’ I looked down. Well, what should there be but the funniest little black thing yew iver set eyes on.  An’ as that span, that sang:
“Nimmy, nimmy not,
My name’s Tom Tit Tot.”
Well, when the darter heerd this, she fared as if she could ha’ jumped outer her skin for joy, but she di’n’t say a word.
Next day, that there little thing looked soo maliceful when he come for the flax. An’ when night came, she heerd that a-knockin’ agin the winder panes. She oped the winder, an’ that come right in on the ledge. That were grinnin’ from are to are, an’ Oo! tha’s tail were twirlin’ round so fast.
“What’s my name?” that says, as that gonned her the skeins.
“Is that Solomon?” she says, pretendin’ to be a-feard.
“Noo, tain’t,” that says, an’ that come fudder inter the room.
“Well, is that Zebedee?” says she agin.
“Noo, tain’t,” says the impet. An’ then that laughed an’ twirled that’s tail till yew cou’n’t hardly see it.
“Take time, woman,” that says; “next guess, an’ you’re mine.” An’ that stretched out that’s black hands at her.
Well, she backed a step or two, an’ she looked at it, and then she laughed out, an’ says she, a pointin’ of her finger at it:
“Nimmy, nimmy not,
Yar name’s Tom Tit Tot.”
Well, when that hard her, that shruck awful an’ awa’ that flew into the dark, an’ she niver saw it noo more.

Man charged in fatal shooting pleads not guilty
CLEVELAND (AP) - Authorities say a man suspected in a shooting that left three people dead in Cleveland has pleaded not guilty to an aggravated murder charge
Twenty-five-year-old Kielonte Harris pleaded not guilty Monday in Municipal Court to the sole count of aggravated murder. His bond was set at $1.5 million. Court records don’t show an attorney for Harris.
Authorities say they found 36-year-old April Magana’s body inside a home and 31-year-old Joseph Meeks III dead in an alley outside the home Saturday. An injured Muriel Tursivio was found in a vacant lot nearby and died at a hospital.
Police say all three were attending a party and were shot in the head after a verbal altercation.
A prosecutor said at Monday’s hearing that he expects additional charges to be filed against Harris.
