abstract
It is usually a better design to make such methods abstract themselves so that classes inheriting these methods provide their implementations.
Example:
abstract class Test { protected void doTest() { } }


Whether you want to design a new programming language, or you want to study Compilers theory, or you just want to learn a new language, the first and perhaps most important thing to do is to understand the whole picture.
Programming Languages are very complex systems, where many features interact and provide a (hopefully) consistent result. This why we use many words to describe a single language. For example, Java is a general-purpose, high-level, statically typed, object-oriented, compiled to bytecode, programming language.
Each of those definitions specify a particular feature of Java’s. These are theoretical concepts, well defined in books about languages theory. Then, every language is basically a different implementation of several among these concepts, to provide an original result.
To understand the whole picture means to understand what are the main features of a language. What does it mean that Java is object-oriented? What about the fact that is general-purpose?
Here’s the list of the concepts we will master:
- General-purpose vs Domain-Specific.
- High vs Low level.
- Interpreted vs Compiled.
- Procedural vs Functional vs Object-Oriented.
- Typed vs Untyped.
- Statically vs Dynamically typed.
- Automatic Memory management vs Manual management.
- Static vs Dynamic Scope.
General-purpose vs Domain-Specific Languages
This distinction is quite easy to understand.
Some programming languages are designed to build software that can solve any problem and perform any task. This is why they are called general-purpose.
Other languages are tailored to some specific application domain. They are therefore called domain-specific.
An example of a general-purpose language is C++. You can build pretty much everything in C++, but in some cases it might cost you a lot of effort, even for simple problems.
An example of a domain-specific language is the code you would write in a configuration file, where on each line you write variable = value
. You can’t build anything different from what you need for this application, with such a language. On the other hand, it does solves this specific problem in a very easy way, whereas it may require you to put in more effort using, say, C++.
High vs Low Level Languages
This distinction is related to the way the code you write interacts with the underlying computer architecture.
The first thing you need to know is that, eventually, every program you write is somehow executed by the computer in its architecture: data are saved in the available memory, computing instructions are executed in the CPU, etc. Thus, at the end of the day, executable code is always low-level.
Now, the point is - who interacts closely with the architecture? It is you, with your code? Or is the Compiler that makes something magic for you?
In the first case, it means you are writing code in a low-level language. For example, you might be using Assembly language, where you specify what to do with each CPU’s register and each slot of memory.
This is why Assembly programs, as well as programs written in other low-level languages, are usually very long, in number of lines. You have to explicitly state every micro-operation you want to perform. For example:
load 1 r1; // save the integer number 1 into register r1
load 2 r2; // save the integer number 2 into register r2
add r3 r2 r3; // add the content of registers r1 and r2 and put it into register r3.
Keep in mind that, even though Assembly is considered low level, you can even go at a lower level. That’s when you set each bit of memory into the machine.
In the second case, instead, it means you are writing code in a high-level language. For instance, C is one among such languages.
What happens when we write code in a high-level language? There’s some part of the language, usually called either Compiler or Interpreter, that takes care of “translating” our high-level instructions into low-level code.
A single line of C code, such as
int x = 1;
is translated into many low-level instructions by the C Compiler. This is why they are called high-level instructions. Then, the low-level instructions are executed into the computer’s architecture.
Interpreted vs Compiled Languages
First, an important disclaimer. The distinction between interpreted and compiled languages was very clear years ago. Today, these two features are mixed in a lot of languages.
Second, an important clarification. Using the terms interpreted and compiled next to a language name is actually a misuse of them. Python, the language, is not interpreted. It’s not, because it’s just a language. Same for Java. Languages are just definitions of words and symbols, along with their semantic.
The correct way would be to say “this Java’s implementation compiles the code, whereas that one interprets it”. This is just a nuance, but I think it’s an important concept to remember.
Programs in almost every language can be either compiled or interpreted, it’s your choice. Furthermore, many languages do a combination of interpreting and compiling the source code.
That said, let’s continue the discussion by using the terms interpreted and compiled directly on languages, and we should refer in such cases to “the most common implementation of that language”.
Let’s see what the word interpreter and compiler means.
First, and foremost:
- Given a source code and some input data, an interpreter produces a result.
- Given a source code (no data), a compiler produces another source code, one that is executable.
If you give your source code and some initial data to an interpreter for that language, it will go through your code line by line, executing each line.
If you give your source code to a compiler for that language, it will go through many steps that will eventually produce an executable code. This is a file that no human is able to read, because it contains instructions at machine-level (the lowest level). You will then have to run this executable, optionally providing some input data, to get the result.
Some say that interpreted languages have advantages:
- It’s faster to prototype using them. But I disagree, or, to better say it, capability to prototype faster is not about interpreting or compiling, in my opinion.
- They are portable. I disagree again: for compiling you need to have the compiler in the machine; to interpret you need to have the interpreter.
- They allow dynamic scoping. I disagree! I mean, yes they do, but dynamic scoping is not something to be proud of! More on this later.
- They allow dynamic typing. Yes, that one I will concede.
Obviously, others say compiled languages have advantages:
- They are more robust, because they perform static-type checking (we will study it in future articles).
- They are faster in execution.
- Source code is protected (because the executable is not really readable).
At any rate, you don’t want to get involved in a discussion about which type of language is better. Furthermore, as I said, many modern languages are both interpreted and compiled.
For example, let’s talk about Java. Java code really gets a long way before it’s eventually executed.
- First, the source code is compiled by a program called javac (Java Compiler), and another source code is produced. The latter is in a language called bytecode.
- Then, another program called java is started. This creates a virtual environment, called Java Virtual Machine.
Now, depending on the specific JVM, the bytecode can be either interpreted or compiled:
- If interpreted, then the Java Interpreter takes the bytecode and runs it.
- If compiled, then a Just-In-Time Java Compiler takes the bytecode and produces native machine-level code.
The compilation down to bytecode is a very common step for a lot of languages that are said to be “interpreted”. For example, Python, that is known to most people as an interpreted language, is actually first compiled to bytecode. Only then, the bytecode is interpreted.
Why is compilation to bytecode done? The reason is that interpreting directly the high-level language and executing it into the machine would be really, really inefficient. Bytecode is an intermediate language, much lower level, that therefore can provide improvements in terms of efficiency.
Procedural vs Functional vs Object-Oriented Languages
First of all, what are such names? They are programming paradigms.
A programming paradigm is a concept, and idea that shapes the way you write a code, and even the way an entire programming language is designed.
For example, Python is a Object-Oriented language. This means that every thing, inside a Python program, is an “object”.
So, what is an object? The standard way to identify objects is as instances of a Class, where the word “class” is a construct of the Grammar of a given language.
Let’s make all I said more concrete.
In Python, the reserved keyword class is used to create (or refer to) a Class, in the semantic sense. When you write
class A:
# fields and methods here…
a = A() # new object of type A
the semantic of the code you wrote is to logically define a type of objects, said A, and then to create a single instance of such type.
I will discuss in a minute what implication all that has on actual code writing. Let me first briefly introduce the other two paradigms.
Procedural programming, like the name says, it’s when the code is organized in procedures. Procedures is the standard block of code that we often (improperly) call function. Let’s stick with the word procedures, to avoid confusion with the functional paradigm.
The classical example of procedural language is C, where you organize all your code in procedures, routines, structures, etc.
Finally, functional programming, to put it simply, it’s the counterpart of procedural programming. The name comes from the mathematical world, where a function is a computable object that will always return the same value, if the same input is provided.
Furthermore, functions have no side effects. No database read/write, no file systems write, no changes to the global state.
You may wonder - how can I possibly write a meaningful program with such constraints. Well, you need to accept some compromise. Very good examples of functional languages are Scala and Haskell.
It’s my firm opinion that none of these paradigms is superior to the others. Good software can be written with each paradigm, and it’s more about your knowledge of the language and you skills as a software engineer.
That said, I also think that depending on the problem you want to solve, and even more on your personal style (yes, each programmer has their own style!) one paradigm can work better than the others, in the given situation.
For example, if you want a complete separation between data and algorithms in your code, then adopting a procedural style might be the right approach. By their own nature, procedures isolate the logic from the data.
If instead you like to think about your software as a group of logical entities, each with its own set of data and internal logic, then OOP comes immediately to mind.
Finally, if you prefer to think about your program in a mathematical way, like a flow of mathematical functions that compute partial results and share them each to another, then functional programming is likely the answer for you.
Typed vs Untyped Languages
To illustrate the difference between typed and untyped languages, there’s a distinction I want to emphasize first:
- An identifier, often called “variable, is the logical name that we use to refer to some entity inside the code.
- The data that an identifier refers to, is the actual memory content that is referred by that identifier.
A simple example will make everything clear. In Java, the line of code
int x = 1;
defines:
- An identifier,
x
. - The data referred by
x
, that’s the integer number1
.
Alright. Now, here’s another simple distinction:
- In typed languages, at least one between identifiers or their data have types.
- In untyped languages, neither identifiers nor data have types.
Let me make this concept clearer, with an example.
Python is a typed language. Indeed, if you write
x = 5
y = None
print(x + y)
you will get an error, because Python’s interpreter knows that the type of x
(numeric) and the type of y
(None) are such that the two data cannot be added. In other words, Python knows the add
operation (+
) cannot work in this case.
Assembly, on the other hand, is a untyped language. It known nothing about types. It only knows about bits! Thus, you can add the bit-representation of 5
, which in 8 bits is 00000101
, to the bit-representation of None (let’s assume that’s just a sequence of 0
bits). This operation will be executed in a mathematically correct way. The problem is that the result is not what you wanted, very likely.
Let’s consider Java again. Java is a typed language, because each identifier must be declared with a type. You can already see the difference with Python: both are typed, but Java is more “explicit”. I am going to discuss this point in a minute.
Untyped languages are very rare today, especially among high-level languages. Assembly is an untyped language, because you don’t deal with integers, strings, etc., you just deal with bits and words of memory.
Statically typed vs Dynamically typed Languages
This is a key distinction, but also a very easy to understand after the previous one.
- In statically typed languages, identifiers have types.
- In dynamically typed languages, data have types (but not identifiers).
Thus, the distinction is easily understandable, but the implications are enormous! In my opinion, this is one of the most important things to understand in modern languages.
In fact, what I said it above is imprecise. Let me tell you the whole story, in view of the importance of this concept.
A language is statically typed if the type of each identifier is known at compile time.
This is the precise definition. The compiler can get this information in two ways:
- The programmer is required to write the type next to each identifier. Languages such as Java, C, C++ work like this, with keywords such as
int
,double
, etc.. - The compiler infers the type of each identifier, during compiler. Most often, in a compilation step known as Semantic Analysis, that we will study in a future article (not too far away!). Scala is a language that works this way.
On the contrary, a language is dynamically typed if types are known at runtime only, and not associated with identifiers but only with data.
Languages such as Python, Perl, Php, are dynamically typed. For instance, in Python, you can write
x = 1;
x = "abc";
and there won’t be any type associated with the identifier x
. At runtime, the Python interpreter will know that, while the first instruction is executed, the identifier x
is associated with an integer
data, and then with a string
data, when the second instruction is executed.
Automatic Memory Management vs Manual Management
Every program you ever wrote, and each program you will ever write, interacts with the memory of the computer.
Declaring an identifier means (almost in all languages) to allocate some memory in the stack. Initializing an object in Java, means allocating some space in the heap part of the memory.
Even though we haven’t discussed yet stack and heap, I am sure you understand how important is memory management in software design.
For every bit of memory that we allocate, there’s a natural question: when is that bit going to be freed? And who will take care of doing it?
Quite simply:
- In languages with manually managed memory, the programmer is responsible to free memory for future usage.
- In languages where the memory is automatically managed, there’s one module of the language itself that takes care of freeing memory slots every now and again. This module is usually called Garbage Collector.
The C programming language is a good example of manual memory management. To reserve some space in memory (the heap part), you need to use the instruction alloc
. To free some part of memory, you must explicitly invoke the function free
, and you also have to specify the address of the location you want to free (which, in C, means a pointer).
While this is a fine approach, and truly gives control of everything to the programmer, it’s undeniable that it creates space for errors and bugs. In fact, it’s realistic to say that almost all programs with manual memory management have some hidden memory leak!
Java was the language that brought automatic memory management, and Garbage collector, to the mainstream.
The idea, in Java as well as in most languages that uses such an approach, is that the execution environment will, at times, stop to execute the main program in order to run the Garbage Collector. This is a software module that, thanks to some algorithms, understands what pieces of memory can be freed, and does so. We will study these algorithms too, of course!
Static vs Dynamic Scope
Although this is a good piece of knowledge to have in our bag, let me start with a disclaimer here.
Static scope is much better and easier to understand for both humans and automated tools. Therefore, practically all important languages use static scope.
That said, let’s see what’s the difference between the two.
With static (lexical) scope, the data referred by each identifier is determined by the source code.
Despite the complex sentence, this is exactly as you would expect. When you write
programA {
x = 1;
function f() {
print(x);
}
function g() {
x = 2;
f();
}
main() {
g();
}
}
the main
function of the program invokes the function f
and as you would expect that prints out 1
because it sees the global value of x
defined at the beginning of the program. That’s probably the only way you are used to, and the best way.
But there’s another way.
If you are using a language with dynamic scoping, then the function f
will be able to access the scope of the function g
, because it was g
to invoke f
. The calling chain is
main –> g –> f
and in dynamic scoping that means f
“can see” the scope of g
as first thing. The scope of g
contains the statement x=2
, so f
will resolve the identifier x
inside the print command to 2
.
So, how does that work?
- In lexical scoping, the “meaning” of each identifier depends on the source code. That’s why it’s known as static scope.
- In dynamic scoping, the “meaning” of each identifier depends on the current execution and runtime status.
To be more precise, “meaning” of an identifier is better said as binding. Basically, what value has to be associated with a given identifier, in a particular point of the program.
In static scope, the binding depends on the source code only. And, most generally, each function can see the scope of the parent functions (even after they are terminated).
Another simple example will clarify.
Main {
x = 1;
function f1() {
function foo() {
x = 3;
print(x);
f2();
}
foo();
}
function f2() {
print(x);
}
f1();
}
In languages with static scoping:
- Function
f1
will see the scope ofMain
, so it will bindx
(if needed) to the value1
. - Function
f2
will do likef1
. - Function
foo
can also see the scope ofMain
, but if it has to bind the identifierx
it will use its own scope, wherex
is set to the value3
. - Function
f1
can’t see the scope off2
. Nor canf2
see the scope offoo
. As well,f1
can’t see the scope offoo
. - When the
Main
function invokesf1
, this will first setx=1
in its scope and then invokefoo
. Then,foo
will first bindx
to the value in its internal scope, which is3
, then print it and then invokef2
. - When
f2
is invoked, no matter by what function is invoked, it can only see its inner scope and the outer scope ofMain
, but not the scope off1
norfoo
. Therefore, it will bindx=1
and will print “1”.
This is the standard way, you should get used to it, if you aren’t already.
But, if the language you’re using it’s based on dynamic scoping, then:
- Whether
f1
,f2
,f3
can see each other’s scope depends on the invocation chain, that is known only at runtime. - So, when the
Main
function callsf1
, this will setx=1
, callfoo
, setx=3
, print3
and then callf2
. But now,f2
can see all the scopes in the invocation chain (that is,foo
,f1
andMain
) and therefore it will bindx=3
, because it finds it infoo
’s scope.
As you can easily imagine, dynamic scoping can be very confusing. That’s why languages with dynamic scope lost the “historical war” against languages with static scope, and the former have practically disappeared.
Conclusions
In this article we learned a number of concepts that are extremely important to wrap our heads around each programming language’s features.
When you get in touch with a new language, asking (and answering) questions about types, programming paradigms, scope and garbage collector, will help you understand the language better.
And if you were not very familiar with these concepts, then be reassured that now you will understand better even languages you already knew, and write better code.

ROUNDERS RATING: 7 / 10 --> Good movie
More reviews, go to http://surf.to/joblo
John Dahl crafts a poker tale based on a script by first time writers David Levien and Brian Kopelman. Dahl has previously managed to create three moody mystery films, including one of my all-time favourites, RED ROCK WEST (8/10), along with THE LAST SEDUCTION (7.5/10) and UNFORGETTABLE (7/10).
PLOT: Poker junkie Mike (Damon) finally goes straight after losing $30,000 in a life-changing poker match. Soon thereafter, he concentrates on law school with his straight-as-an-arrow girlfriend, and tries to avoid all card-game temptations. That is, until his good friend Worm (Norton) gets out of prison, runs into some major gambling debts, and morally challenges Mike into returning to his good old days of "rounding".
CRITIQUE: Entertaining, believable, if slightly repetitive, behind the scenes look at the high-stakes game of New York underground poker through the eyes of one fresh-faced kid with a dream (surprise, it's Matt Damon!), and his brother-like friend, Worm, whose integrity for the game is essentially non-existent. This movie was never boring for me, was filmed in just the right amount of time, and did maintain an extreme air of authenticity throughout. Then again, I'm no card shark, so I would have no idea if even half the jargon used in the film was real anyway ("We might have to raise the juice on those rounders". Huh?)
The acting was uneven with Norton delivering another great performance with his sleazy rendition of the morally-bankrupt Worm, while Damon, well, played Matt Damon pretty well. John Turtorro's character seemed highly underdeveloped (seems like some scenes with him might've been cut out), as well as Gretchen Mol's standard girlfriend repartee (no "Standing by your man" for this woman!), which didn't add much to the story. John Malkovich also went over the top and came back, with his highly carucaturized rendition of a Russian card player. The mood and soundtrack of the film was nicely set by Dahl, while the obligatory girlfriend sub-plot line just reminded me of the sour romance plot-line in DONNIE BRASCO (8/10) from 1997 (in which Gretchen Mol also appeared as Sonny's (Michael Madsen) girlfriend.)
Having said that, the film did manage to show us everything you ever wanted to know about the game of poker and more (I don't remember seeing a better poker movie in my life, but then again, I don't remember seeing many poker movies in my life.), and a greater insight into the mind of an addict (Any type of addict, if you really think about it.) and the price one could pay for extreme loyalty. I would recommend this film to all those who love the game of poker, and are interested in exploring the life themes of addiction and loyalty. Other than that, the film offers little else in the romance and/or suspense factors, so if that's what you're interested in, forget this puppy and go rent yourself another great Dahl movie: THE LAST SEDUCTION with an Oscar-worthy performance by Linda Fiorentino as the cold, manipulative sex-pot with a plan. Either way, you're going to have an interesting evening.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Matt Damon's full name is Matthew Paige Damon. Matt's first film role was a one-line part in 1988's MYSTIC PIZZA. Matt co-wrote the screenplay for 1997's GOOD WILL HUNTING (7.5/10) with best friend, buddy-boy Ben Affleck, for which the duo received an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Matt dropped 40 pounds for his role in COURAGE UNDER FIRE, and received the sum of US$600,000 for his role in ROUNDERS. Screenwriter Koppelman came up with the idea for the script when he heard about a friend of a friend who made more money as a "rounder" - a poker hustler - than from his day job on Wall Street. He met the guy on a street corner in Manhattan, they went down to one of the clubs, where Koppelman, a former artist-and-repertoire scout for a record company, was immediately hooked by the exotic environment. When he got home at 2:30 in the morning, he called old friend Levien and told him about this great movie idea. Hence, the screenplay to ROUNDERS. Both stars Damon and Norton are born in the state of Massachusetts, and attended Ivy League colleges (Harvard for Damon, Yale for Norton.) Director John Dahl co-wrote the screenplay to RED ROCK WEST with his brother Rick Dahl.

I am currently a Level 1 (first year) student studying Co-op Computer Science at McMaster University. I was born on September 26, 2000, in Canada and have grown up here my entire life despite having a Pakistani background. My initial interest in Computer science and data management began with my Uncle and my father, who worked as a Project Manager for Microsoft in Seattle, and a data management coordinator for the city. Throughout my
childhood, I continued to learn many skills that would later help me succeed in computer science related fields. My Goal is too one day have a successful startup business and gain as much experience as I can through internships, jobs and volunteer positions as I can. I am a varsity athlete and am currently in the midst of opening a startup sneaker and streetwear resale business called Global Cops.
Throughout the last few years, I have gained valuable experience in many different programming languages including C++, Python, Visual Basic, Haskell and other important industry skills such as Bash scripting, Linux server access, version control with GitHub and client-side coding (CSS, HTML, Javascript). I am actively learning new programming concepts
and improving my skills on a daily basis. As a senior in high school, I was the President of the students Programming Club at Ancaster Highschool. I was responsible for guiding and assisting fellow students with projects in C and C++. Throughout this experience, it helped me develop leadership skills and responsibility.

Being well versed in functional programming concepts allows me to be very versatile.
Close ProjectI have created a game in C programming called the spy game. It is a game that gives the user a grid with corresponding coordinates, and the user must guess a tile to attempt to locate the "Spy". The user is given a hint to the spys location every guess. If you guess on the wrong column, it says the spy is upstairs. If youre to far to either side, it tells you to look the other way. The object is to locate the spy in the least amount of guesses. The following is a git link to the game: Click here

Jessica Hammer will join us to discuss the question "Why games?". What is the essence that makes games unique for education? Specifically she will address 5 themes (Meaning, Identity, Systems, Desire, Culture) that are integral for designers to inform their creations and analyses of games. The interactive entertainment sector is continuously growing and more and more higher education institutions are taking interest. We are looking to gain a better understanding of the principles required for good game design to ultimately inform Edlab contributions of educational games.Â The game research team in D&R has conducted Â game design analysis of a variety of online and academic games to understand how different elements of game design are demonstrated and utilized in various games. Some of these gamesÂ will be featured on the blog for you to play prior to the session. These games represent principles of game design that will be a source of comparison and discussion at the seminar. Â Jessica Hammer is an instructor in the Communication, Computing and Technology in Education Department at Teachers College, where she offers the courses on Game Design. Jessica received a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Harvard University, an M.P.S. in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University, and is currently working on her PhD in the Cognitive Studies program here at TC. Recently, Jessica served as a judge and coordinator for the Global Game Jam that was hosted at TC. She has also worked as a game designer and social software consultant, as well as an active presenter at conferences about Games for Learning.

Quickstart¶
This page introduces the basic concepts related to data analysis and processing for clinical databases. The API has been originally developed for various machine learning tasks in a context of early drug development for cancer, but it is intended to be flexible and adaptable for other similar problematics.
The objective of the API is to make available the tools needed to solve the issues raised by the complexity of Electronic Health Records (EHR), that will be introduced in intro .
Introduction¶
The usage of EHR has been widely adopted around the earth, which has led doctors and statisticians to mine them to improve the care of patients. However, medical health records are very difficult to tackle since they contain all the difficulties that exist in data analysis: * sparcity * high cardinality categorical features * unstructured data (text, images) * temporality of the events
All those issues make it hard to initiate a machine learning project using clinical data, for those reason, we aim at providing the right tools to preprocess such databases with efficiency and simplicity.

You declared a pointer to double and allocated memory for one-dimensional array.
double *value = new double[numrows][numcols] ;
and get message that the expression must have constant value.
The compiler must know the size of the element of a two-dimensional array. That is in this statement numcols shall be a constant expression. Moreover the types of left and right sides of the expression in the statement do not coinside.
Usually the following method is used
1 2 3 4 5 6
double **value = newdouble *[numrows];
for ( int i = 0; i < numrows; i++ )
{
value[i] = newdouble[numcols];
}
If your array is going to change size, you would be better off using a list of vectors - that way you can resize the vector and insert new vectors into the list.
Also, in my limited experience, whatever is on the left of the pointer variable should be the same as on the right of new operator like this:
However, keep in mind that the rows are not contiguous in memory.
If that's an issue use new T[rows*columns];
accessing like matrix[K*columns+L] === matrix[K][L] (encapsulate it in a class)
Other possibilities:
1 - write a matrix class that swaps to disk the parts it won't be needing.
2 - write a matrix class entirely disk-based (sloooow).
3 - a matrix class that stores compressed information (harder).

I was born in Terrassa in 1997. I've always been interested in computer graphics and science.
In 2009 I discovered Blender and it has been my main tool to create 3D artworks and animations since then. I enjoyed to learn Blender watching tutorials as well as trying it by myself. 7 years after, I was hired by tenured lecturer Jose Luís Valero, I gave a 3 hours introductory course on 3D software Blender to university employees.
In 2013 I passed the Youth and Science program application. This program promotes scientific careers among teenagers. Thanks to this program, I spent one month in Institute of Photonic Sciences in 2014, and another month in Weizmann Insitute of Science in 2015.
Now I'm currently studying Physics degree in Autonomous University of Barcelona

A light fluffy omelette soufflé with punchy rhubarb makes a perfect dinner party dessert. Cooked live at the National Festival of Making.
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5.
For the omelette soufflé, whisk 3 of the egg yolks in a bowl with 25g/1oz of the sugar, grated lemon zest and vanilla seeds scraped from the pod until pale and fluffy.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and set aside. Sift the flour into the egg yolk mixture and gently fold in along with the melted butter.
Place the egg whites and another 25g/1oz of the sugar into bowl and beat with an electric whisk until frothy, then slowly add the rest of the sugar whisking until soft peaks are formed.
Stir a third of the whisked egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold the remainder of the egg whites in until fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture equally between 6 omelette pans. Place the omelette pans onto a baking tray lined with a wet tea towel and bake for 13 minutes, until just set.
Meanwhile, for the rhubarb compôte, place the rhubarb and sugar in a small saucepan cook over a low heat for about 15 minutes or until the rhubarb has broken down.
For the vanilla cream, whip the cream with the sugar using a whisk until soft peaks are formed. Stir in the vanilla extract.
For the sarsaparilla reduction, boil the sarsaparilla juice in a saucepan for 15–30 minutes, until it has reduced to a thick consistency.
Serve the soufflés with the rhubarb compôte, vanilla cream and the sarsaparilla reduction drizzled over.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Oregon State Representatives,
My name is Chris Sells and I run a one-man software consulting firm from my home in Beaverton, Oregon. For more than 20 years, I’ve been pretty much everything you can be in the software world: software engineer, chief architect, director, author, speaker, consultant and even marketer, so I know software ins and outs pretty well. In addition, I’ve been the treasurer for the Cooper Mountain Elementary School for the last two years, so I’m familiar with how important computer-related purchases are to at least one branch of the Oregon state government and how those decisions get made.
Before I start my testimony, I’d like to tell you about my experience in my high schools’s band. I played the trumpet for seven years, four of them in the marching band. I wasn’t great, but I loved to play. It gave me a deep feeling of satisfaction to be part of the band and to perform for the audience. I even continued my playing into one semester of college band, but it just wasn’t the same. The band at that level required a degree of skill and professionalism that I just didn’t have. Once I figured out that I didn’t have what it took to be a professional musician, I went on to find something else to make my living (computers).
By and large, open source software is often very much like a high school band. No one cares about the money. An open source programmer just wants to have their work seen and appreciated, regardless of whether they’re good enough, or thorough enough, to be paid for it.
Sometimes a high school band will be amazing; easily good enough to compete at any level. However, this is very rare when compared to professional bands that get paid based on how well they entertain their audience. Likewise, sometimes open source software achieves the same level of quality as closed source software. In those cases, I?m completely in favor of considering open source software to solve Oregon?s software needs. However, I?m not in favor of mandating open source software, which is what HB 2892 does.By putting up artificial barriers to entry for closed source software, Oregon is narrowing their choices to those rare cases when open source software lives up to the letter of the requirements for a Request for Proposal (RFP) but doesn?t provide the same level of thoroughness that competing for money on the open market requires. This narrowing of choice is going to cost Oregon considerable additional funds in support, training and documentation, all things that the open source community lives without because of their own level of expertise. Continuing the analogy, assembling your own electric guitar if fun for an enthusiast, but requires very specialized skills. Likewise, using, supporting and maintaining open source software requires real engineering skills, which is the hidden cost you don?t see when initially installing open source software.
In addition to mandating open source software, HD 2892 calls for open data exchange standards. This is something that I?m very much in favor of. The latest and most general purpose standard for open data exchange is called the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and is fully embraced by both the open source and the closed source communities. However, it?s the closed source vendors, like Microsoft, IBM and BEA, that are really making XML a reality by pushing it into their software at all levels. In fact, these same closed source vendors as going beyond just XML and building standards for communicating data between computers based on open source and closed source operating systems to make sure that all computers can communicate with each other. These standards are called ?web services? and are based around the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Defining, implementing and testing standards is an expensive proposition involving man-decades of dedicated engineering work, which is why it takes companies that make money on software to turn them from an adolescent dream into an adult reality.
I believe that open source should absolutely be considered for the state’s software needs. However, being open source is but one quality that needs consideration. Things that also need to be considered include the cost of training, documentation, support, upgrading and maintaining software systems and their support for open data standards. Some open source software will achieve the level of functionality and attention to detail that Oregon needs, but artificially narrowing your choices to open source software is like open picking high school bands to play at the Rose Garden. Sometimes you’ll get lucky but more often the audience is going to demand a refund.
Thank you for your time and attention,
Chris Sells


Using DATs For Instancing
An Updating Table
The original forum conversation for this set of examples exported the possibility of working with a data set that was delivered as a JSON blob. For this reason, the obvious target for working with the data seemed to be DATs. That data set was expected to change over time, and part of the conversation was aimed at understanding how to approach that challenge.
In this example we simulate the presence of a changing JSON blob with a small random function below. Here we do a few small operations, we first generate a new random set of scale values that are stored in a JSON blob, which we then loop through and update in our table. A central question for this kind of approach would be how efficient / inefficient it might be to use DATs. DATs are generally the least efficient approach for working with instances, so this kind of simulation allows us begin to explore potential challenges before working with our actual data set.
# this is our simple random data sim
# we start by creating an empty dictionary / json blob
# then fill in our blob based on how many rows are in
# our target table - just for the sake of completeness.
# if your json blobs were different sizes each time you'd
# need some extra data handling to make sure you had a
# matching number of rows in your table.
# this sim only updates the scale y value (sy) though you
# could adapt this to meet many needs
def data_sim():
new_dict = {}
# create random vals for entry
for each in range(op('table1').numRows)[1:]:
new_dict[each] = {
'sy' : tdu.rand(absTime.frame + each)
}
return new_dict
# run the sim, and assign it to the variable data
data = data_sim()
# loop through each item in the dictioary
for each_key, each_val in data.items():
# loop through all the keys
for each_sub_key, each_sub_val in each_val.items():
# here our key has acted as an ID which we're
# using to match as a row identifier
# the sub_key matches a column
# the value of the sub_key is the value we
# want to update
op('table1')[each_key, each_sub_key] = each_sub_val

One hundred fifty years ago, the American Civil War divided families, neighbors, and states. This collection brings together fiction and non-fiction writings from the Lit2Go library that help illuminate the issues and context of the Civil War.
Books
Uncle Tom’s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti–slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes towards slavery in the United States. The book also helped create a number of stereotypes of African-Americans. To some extent, this negative effect has overshadowed other historical impacts of the novel.
The Told to the Children Series of books were published in Great Britain in the early 1900's. The purpose of the book series was to introduce readers between the ages of 9 and 12 to the best known classic novels of the 19th Century.
Behind the Scenes Or, Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House is an autobiographical narrative by Elizabeth Keckley. In it she tells the story of her life as a slave and her time as a seamstress for Mrs. Lincoln in the White House.
At the Dry Tortugas During the War is an account written by Emily Holder describing her memories of Fort Jefferson.
A Victorious Union, part of Oliver Optic's Blue and the Gray series, is an adventure story set in the time of the Civil War.
The Red Badge of Courage is an impressionistic novel by Stephen Crane about the meaning of courage, as it is narrated by Henry Fleming, a recruit in the American Civil War. It is one of the most influential American war stories ever written even though the author was born after the war and had never seen battle himself. Crane met and spoke with a number of veterans as a student and he created what is widely regarded as an unusually realistic depiction of a young man in battle.
Passages
Speech given by Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863 at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
The Emancipation Proclamation consists of two executive orders issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. The first one, issued September 22, 1862, declared the freedom of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863. The second order, issued January 1, 1863, named ten specific states where it would apply. Lincoln issued the Executive Order by his authority as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution.
Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, during his inauguration at the start of his second term as President of the United States.

LibXML Ruby
Overview
The libxml gem provides Ruby language bindings for GNOME’s Libxml2 XML toolkit. It is free software, released under the MIT License.
We think libxml-ruby is the best XML library for Ruby because:
- Speed - Its much faster than REXML and Hpricot
- Features - It provides an amazing number of featues
- Conformance - It passes all 1800+ tests from the OASIS XML Tests Suite
Requirements
libxml-ruby requires Ruby 1.8.4 or higher. It is dependent on the following libraries to function properly:
- libm (math routines: very standard)
- libz (zlib)
- libiconv
- libxml2
If you are running Linux or Unix you’ll need a C compiler so the extension can be compiled when it is installed. If you are running Windows, then install the Windows specific RubyGem which includes an already built extension.
INSTALLATION
The easiest way to install libxml-ruby is via Ruby Gems. To install:
gem install libxml-ruby
If you are running Windows, make sure to install the Win32 RubyGem which includes prebuilt extensions for Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9. These extensions are built with MinGW32 against libxml2 version 2.7.8, iconv version 1.13 and zlib version 1.2.5. Note these binaries are available in the liblibs directory. To use them, put them someplace on your path.
The gem also includes a Microsoft VC++ 2010 solution (useful for debugging).
Getting Started
Using libxml is easy. First decide what parser you want to use:
- Generally you’ll want to use the LibXML::XML::Parser which provides a tree based API.
- For larger documents that don’t fit into memory, or if you prefer an input based API, use the LibXML::XML::Reader.
- To parse HTML files use LibXML::XML::HTMLParser.
- If you are masochistic, then use the LibXML::XML::SaxParser, which provides a callback API.
Once you have chosen a parser, choose a datasource. Libxml can parse files, strings, URIs and IO streams. For each data source you can specify an LibXML::XML::Encoding, a base uri and various parser options. For more information, refer the LibXML::XML::Parser.document, LibXML::XML::Parser.file, LibXML::XML::Parser.io or LibXML:::XML::Parser.string methods (the same methods are defined on all four parser classes).
Advanced Functionality
Beyond the basics of parsing and processing XML and HTML documents, libxml provides a wealth of additional functionality.
Most commonly, you’ll want to use its LibXML::XML::XPath support, which makes it easy to find data inside a XML document. Although not as popular, LibXML::XML::XPointer provides another API for finding data inside an XML document.
Often times you’ll need to validate data before processing it. For example, if you accept user generated content submitted over the Web, you’ll want to verify that it does not contain malicious code such as embedded scripts. This can be done using libxml’s powerful set of validators:
- DTDs (LibXML::XML::Dtd)
- Relax Schemas (LibXML::XML::RelaxNG)
- XML Schema (LibXML::XML::Schema)
Finally, if you’d like to use XSL Transformations to process data, then install the libxslt gem which is available at rubyforge.org/projects/libxsl/.
Usage
For information about using libxml-ruby please refer to its documentation at xml4r.github.com/libxml-ruby/rdoc/index.html Some tutorials are also available at github.com/xml4r/libxml-ruby/wiki.
All libxml classes are in the LibXML::XML module. The easiest way to use libxml is to require ‘xml’. This will mixin the LibXML module into the global namespace, allowing you to write code like this:
require 'xml' document = XML::Document.new
However, when creating an application or library you plan to redistribute, it is best to not add the LibXML module to the global namespace, in which case you can either write your code like this:
require 'libxml' document = LibXML::XML::Document.new
Or you can utilize a namespace for you own work and include LibXML into it. For example:
require 'libxml' mdoule MyApplication include LibXML class MyClass def some_method document = XML::Document.new end end end
For simplicity’s sake, the documentation uses the xml module in its examples.
Memory Management
libxml-ruby automatically manages memory associated with the underlying libxml2 library. There is however one corner case that your code must handle. If a node is imported into a document, but not added to the document, a segmentation fault may occur on program termination.
# Do NOT do this require 'xml' doc1 = XML::Document.string("test1") doc2 = XML::Document.string("test2") node = doc2.import(doc1.root)
If doc2 is freed before node2 a segmentatin fault will occur since node2 references the document. To avoid this, simply make sure to add the node to the document:
# DO this instead doc1 = XML::Document.string("test1") doc2 = XML::Document.string("test2") doc2.root << doc2.import(doc1.root)
Alternatively, you can call node2.remove! to disassociate node2 from doc2.
Threading
libxml-ruby fully supports native, background Ruby threads. This of course only applies to Ruby 1.9.x and higher since earlier versions of Ruby do not support native threads.
Performance
In addition to being feature rich and conformation, the main reason people use libxml-ruby is for performance. Here are the results of a couple simple benchmarks recently blogged about on the Web (you can find them in the benchmark directory of the libxml distribution).

Documentation
Documentation is available via rdoc, and is installed automatically with the gem.
libxml-ruby’s online documentation is generated using Hanna. To generate documentation from source:
gem install hanna rake rdoc
Note that older versions of Rdoc, which ship with Ruby 1.8.x, will report a number of errors. To avoid them, install Rdoc 2.1 or higher from RubyForge (rdoc.rubyforge.org/). Once you have installed the gem, you’ll have to disable the version of Rdoc that Ruby 1.8.x includes. An easy way to do that is rename the directory uby/lib/ruby/1.8/rdoc to ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/rdoc_old.

Using CSON
Via the Command Line
Use CSON with the command line with:
# Convert a JSON file into a CSON file
json2cson in.json > out.cson
# Same thing via piping
cat in.json | json2cson > out.cson
# Convert a CSON file into a JSON file
cson2json in.cson > out.json
# Same thing via piping
cat in.cson | cson2json > out.json
Requires a global CSON install: npm install -g cson
Via the API
Each method can be executed without a callback like so:
result = require('CSON').createCSONString({a:{b:'c'}}, {/* optional options argument */})
if ( result instanceof Error ) {
console.log(result.stack)
} else {
console.log(result)
}
Or via a callback like so:
CSON.createCSONString({a:{b:'c'}}, {/* optional options argument */}, function(err,result){
console.log(err, result)
})
Executing the method with a callback still executes the method synchronously.

Preparation time
less than 30 mins
Cooking time
over 2 hours
Serves
Serves 4
The sea bass skin is seasoned with Chinese five-spice and fried until crisp to add contrast to the soft lentils and mushrooms.
For the braised lentils, put the lentils in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to the boil, then take off the heat and drain in a colander. Refresh with cold water and drain again.
Return the lentils to the saucepan and add the vegetables, garlic, bouquet garni, stock, cinnamon stick and 2 litres/3½ pints water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a slow simmer and cook for about three hours, or until the lentils are soft.
When the lentils are cooked, allow them to cool and then remove the bouquet garni and cinnamon stick.
Strain off the liquid and return 250g/9oz of the cooked lentils to the pan (any remaining lentils can be used in other dishes). Place over a medium high heat until any remaining liquid has evaporated.
Add the chopped parsley and butter to finish, season with salt and pepper. Keep warm until ready to serve.
For the roast sea bass with Chinese five-spice, take a sharp knife and carefully cut groves into the fish skin, taking care not to cut the flesh. Season with Chinese five-spice and rub into the skin. Season with salt and pepper and flour the skin-side only. Pat off the excess flour.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil and butter until foaming. Add the fish, skin-side down, and fry until the skin is crisp and the fish cooked through. If the fish is thick, reduce the heat and then place a lid on top to help it cook through.
For the mushroom fricassée, heat 20g/¾oz butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, then add the shallot and a pinch of salt. When the shallots are soft and transparent, add the mushrooms and a squeeze of lemon juice and fry over a high heat for a minute or two. Add 30ml/1fl oz of water and whisk in the remaining 40g/1½ oz butter.
Just before serving, add the tomato concass, herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve, spoon some lentils onto the middle of each plate or bowl. Flip the fish in the pan and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Place the fish into the middle of the lentils and spoon over the mushrooms.


Sun City debut a 'dream come true' for Bezuidenhout
by Lynn Butler - Sport24Sun City - South African golfer Christiaan Bezuidenhout says it's a "dream come true" to be competing at the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City this week.
Bezuidenhout is one of the nine South Africans in the field this week at the Gary Player Country Club.
The 100th-ranked golfer in the world will be making his debut at 'Africa's Major' and revealed that he had been watching the tournament since he was nine-years-old.
"It's a dream come true. I've seen this event live since I was nine-years-old coming here, and here with my family. To be here now is a dream come true for me," Bezuidenhout told reporters on Wednesday.
"I mean, every year, this event is a big highlight for all the South Africans golfers and people that like the sport. Just to be thought of is a real honour and it should be a special week."
READ | Gutted Van Rooyen believes Ernie made the right call
The 25-year-old has had a breakthrough year on the European Tour, with five Top 10 finishes and a maiden victory at the Valderrama Masters in June.
"Every year you try to qualify for the final events, and yeah, I had a special year. Best year of my career so far, so for me, being here is a real bonus," said Bezuidenhout.
Bezuidenhout stated that he is looking forward to the home support leading up to the final round on Sunday.
"I think as soon as you step up on that first tee on Thursday with the crowd, you could only dream of it (the hype). Coming here this week, it's special," he said.
He will play alongside fellow countryman Branden Grace and Frenchman Benjamin Hebert at 10:17 on Thursday.

1. Stability问题
1. cherry google/qcom提交


I would like to create a feed that mimics my electricity/gas/solar panel meter at home. This work well with the power to Kwh processor, but I cannot set the 'initial' value. I tried updating the most recent (or the two most recent) data point using the editrealtime function on emoncms.org, but in some cases this stops the feed from updating. Eg when updating the feed value to 8000, the feed value keeps on increasing, but when I set the value to 10000, the feed value remains fixed.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong ?
Regards,
Roel
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Hi... i had the same problem with my water meter...
on the input page i simply start the list of processing with + "whatsneedtobeadded" and then log to feed.
how to do it? clik on input.. find the right node and clik the tool icon next to right input... rest should explain itself
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Hi Boelle,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion but it does not solve my problem. I guess the solution you propose works in case the kwh is logged (ie sent by the emontx) and therefor in your input list, ie for water and gas consumption.
In my case, I log the power from my solar panels and compute the kwh from the 'power to kwh' processor. Adding the + "whatsneedtobeadded" before this processor would add it to the power so that doesn't make sense; adding it after makes that the value is not included.
correct or am I still seeing it the wrong way ?
Roel
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
I'm having the same problem and like you can't find a way round it. I add my current meter reading to my PV KW to KWh feed in the Vis page. The 'tab' key needs to be pressed on mine to reveal the save button. Pressing this saves the addition to the feed but from then on the feed stops incrementing and remains static at whatever value the addition was.
Seems like it's a bug in the code unless editrealtime is not meant for this.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
I seem to have got this to work with the editrealtime Vis at least for cumulative KWh figures that I need to match my PV export meter, grid import meter and cumulative PV diverted to immersion KWh feeds on my system.
It seems to me like the only way it would accept the offset to the feed and carry on counting up was if I quickly clicked on the latest time on the editrealtime vis graph and very quickly enter the new offset value and save before the next feed value arrives from the sensor. Each feed I updated took a few attempts to get the offset to stick.
It's been working all morning now and the values seem to be tracking the meter readings so far.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Earlier this week I have debugged the power_to_kwh process and found that the problem is not the code but rather the mysql database.
The problem I had was that whenever my incremental kwh counter would exceed 10000 kwh, it would stop incrementing. This is caused by the float datatype that is used in the feeds table and that of the feed storing the kwh values. An entry value of 10000.1003 is stored as 10000.1 in the database. As the kwh increments are usualy fairly small, the kwh counter never increases in case a value of 6 digits is reached.
I was able to solve this by changing the datatype of both the value column in the feeds table as well as the data column in the feed table from float to double using:
alter table feeds modify value double;
As the precision increases (and database size), the value is now stored correctly in the database and the kwh counter keeps on working. What I'm not sure of though is if double is the correct datatype to use. I briefly experimented with the decimal type but could not get a working result yet.
Regards,
Roel
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
I thought my system was incrementing correctly after using editrealtime but now a week on I can see it's not.
I have three feeds that I adjusted with editrealtime a week ago: f1 is 58.5 KWh at the moment and incrementing correctly. F2 is 4252 KWh and is incrementing unreliably at about half of actual production. F3 is 46647 KWh and has effectively stopped incrementing.
Roel, where would I find the database you mentioned and how would I change the data type like you did? I'm using Raspberry pi as base.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Hi,
Assuming you have logged on to the raspberry, you can enter the following command:
In mysql, you can:
The Type of Field value should be float; to alter it to a double datatype, enter:
You can do the same for the feeds table that stores the counter data i.e. instead of table 'feeds' use 'feed_xx'; I'm not yet 100% sure this needs to be done.
For you information: I altered my table earlier this week, the counter value was then 10500 kWh and it has been incrementing correctly since then.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Thanks for the guidance Roel.
I've applied the changes to my db and hopefully this will cure the problem.
I'm not sure but I think loading of some of the vis graphs like realtime and editrealtime has slowed down since applying the changes.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
Changing the datatypes hasn't worked on my setup. I carried out all the mods Roel described but still the total cumulative figures are not incrementing correctly. PV is currently about 4237 and the daily addition is varying around 70 - 80% of the KWhd figure. The grid import total cumulative figure has been stuck at about 46693 for a few days now despite 5 - 7 KWhd usage being measured.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
I figured out why the table mods didn't work on my setup. I updated the database after doing the mods with Admin updater in emoncms and it altered the feeds table back to float data type without me noticing.
When I went through it again today I noticed it change it back this time. The answer is to edit /var/emoncms/Modules/feed/feed_schema.php and change the feed data type from 'float' to 'double' . This stops the database updater reverting the first change Roel described.
Re: setting the start value for a meter using "editrealtime"
The local version of my database is now working very well with the double data type but the web version of my database is still using the float data type.
Can anyone tell me which files I need to alter to make the web version the same as my local database instance, assuming it is possible.

THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT A film review by Mike Joyce Copyright 1997 Mike Joyce
Larry Flynt is a self proclaimed smut pedlar and the owner/publisher of the multi-million dollar Hustler Publications company. The People vs. Larry Flynt is the story of Larry Flynt's fight for the freedom to circulate and sell his pornographic magazine, Hustler. Based on a true story, the film is almost a documentary in that it's a very vivid and detailed look at Larry Flynt's life.
Woody Harrelson gives an excellent performance. He conveys Flynt's peculiarities and his character with depth and focus. By the end of the film the audience actually finds themselves, somewhat grudgingly, liking Larry Flynt. This is some feat given Flynt's apparent lack of any morals or ethics and his extremely smutty and childish behaviour in court. However, Flynt has a number of things going for him, he's rich, he's funny, and most importantly, he says exactly what he means.
Larry Flynt's wife, Althea Leasure is played by Courtney Love. Larry meets Althea at one of his clubs, and they fall in love (a very sexual and open love). Both of them indulge in a world of too much sex, and eventually too much drugs. Flynt had been taking an excessive amount of pain killers after being paralysed from the waist down (which was especially upsetting for him) by an assassin. Althea had joined him in taking the drugs. Following an operation Flynt decides to stop taking drugs, Althea does not have any such plans, nor the determination to follow them. As the film progresses we see her become increasingly frail and sick. Courtney Love obviously has a great understanding for Althea's situation, as she is brilliant in portraying Althea in every respect. It's extremely sad to watch Althea literally wither away.
Edward Norton plays Flynt's lawyer, Alan Isaacman. Again, this is a solid performance. The audience finds it easy to sympathise with Isaacman who somehow puts up with Flynt's courtroom antics. Flynt is not only childish in the courtroom, but downright rude to the judges, and lands himself in a lot of trouble (and even in a mental institution) because of it. Isaacman is very easy to like, and great at proving (in quite clever ways) his points to the court.
Milos Forman has done a great job in directing The People vs. Larry Flynt. It is not really an exciting or thrilling film, but instead a highly interesting portrayal of a true story. Due to Larry's character it is also, at times, a very funny film. However, it is much more than that. It is about the fight for freedom of speech, anti-censorship, and the right to be able choose for oneself what to see and buy. An excellent look at Flynt, his life, and his story. Keep a look out for the real Larry Flynt who makes a cameo as Judge Morrissey.
