PARENTHOOD A film review by Craig Good Copyright 1989 Craig Good
The promotional campaign for PARENTHOOD would have you believe that it's a light-weight comedy about yuppies and their puppies. While it does have many, many funny moments, it is also about the kind of exquisite pain and embarrassment you can only feel as a parent, child, sibling, or spouse. PARENTHOOD is a movie that wants it both ways. The good news is that it succeeds.
Easily director Ron Howard's best film yet, bouquets also go to the fine cast and the clever, sensitive writing. PARENTHOOD deals deftly with a large cast, providing a panoramic look at several generations of a family. Just when you think a character is going to be a cliche, they do something unexpected as their humanity shows through. And just when you think a sequence or situation is going to be tied up in a neat television bow, in flies a twist right out of reality's quiver.
Unless you were born on another planet you will find yourself identifying with at least a few of the characters and their situations. And you'll care about the rest of them. I'm not a baseball fan at all. It's not that I dislike it, but that it reminds me of watching paint dry. But I've never cared so much about the outcome of a movie sports event as I did about the Big Play in the Little League game. The boy who plays Steve Martin's eight-year-old son evokes such a deep sense of child terror and loneliness that I cared about *everything* that happened to him.
 The giddy heights and hurtful depths of human relationships make it a delightful roller-coaster ride. Do yourself a favor and see it.
You'll be glad you did.

Safaga is a useful stop is wishing to visit Luxor and is also a favourite base for diving. It is a popular holiday resort.
Position 26°45'58" N, 33°56'48" E (mooring)
The majority of yachts clear into Egypt here. It is possible to complete formalities without the use of an agent.
See Agents for details of any Clearance agents.
Call Safaga Port Control on VHF Channel 16 on approach. Calls are usually answered by Safaga Pilot, but not so promptly at night. The port captain insists that boats (especially those arriving from abroad) come alongside the main dock, although this is sometimes unsuitable for small boats. The recommended anchorage (26°47.59'N 33°56.33'E) is in front of the Paradise Hotel. The boat is usually visited first by security police. One should have several crew lists ready. Arms and ammunition should be declared immediately on arrival. The rest of the formalities are completed ashore. The immigration office is at the harbour gates (third floor). Boats are occasionally visited by a quarantine officer who may ask for a fee.
The same offices must be visited on departure, even if sailing to another Egyptian port. Non-uniformed police may board the boat before departure.
Rough Cost Estimation for government & agency fees for up to 1 month stay is around US$180 and for each 4 month period, it is around US$ 280. Plus the Customs Fee on top. These fees include all the various fees in Safaga Port and the Agency fee.
Safaga is probably the best place to leave the yacht if wishing to travel inland, and most convenient for visiting Luxor.


Zimbabwe's vice president returns after four months in China receiving medical treatment
by REUTERSIn Summary
- Constantino Chiwenga had been in China receiving medical treatment for an unknown illness.
- His health is of great interest to Zimbabweans as he is widely seen as the driving force behind the country’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
- Government officials in Zimbabwe routinely seek medical treatment abroad while the country’s public health system has collapsed.
Zimbabwean Vice President Constantino Chiwenga returned home on Saturday after spending four months in China receiving medical treatment for an unknown illness, state-owned media reported.
Chiwenga, the 63-year-old former general who led a coup against the late Robert Mugabe two years ago, has spent a large part of the year away from work, also receiving treatment in South Africa and India.
His health is of great interest to Zimbabweans as he is widely seen as the driving force behind the country’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the front-runner to succeed him.
His absence from public duties had stoked speculation about the gravity of his illness, which authorities have sought to play down.
The Herald, a government-owned newspaper, showed images of Chiwenga arriving at Harare’s airport in the early hours of Saturday, looking healthier than when he was last seen in public in June. He was welcomed by relatives and China’s deputy ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhao Baogang, the newspaper said.
Local private media have reported that Chiwenga’s health deteriorated in July and that he underwent two operations following a suspected poisoning.

Chiwenga and government officials were not available to comment on Saturday.
Government officials in Zimbabwe routinely seek medical treatment abroad while the country’s public health system has collapsed and hospitals struggle to provide medicines to patients.
Many Zimbabweans are angry that top government officials continue to travel abroad for treatment while state hospitals are turning away patients because doctors have been on a pay strike since September.
The government has so far fired 435 doctors for participating in the strike.

Ontario spent $231 million to tear up green energy deals: Walker
TORONTO — Ontario spent $231 million last year to tear up over 750 renewable energy contracts.
by Canadian PressTORONTO — Ontario spent $231 million last year to tear up over 750 renewable energy contracts.
Associate Energy Minister Bill Walker defended the cost today, blaming the previous Liberal government for signing the deals while the province had an oversupply of electricity.
The Progressive Conservative government cancelled the contracts last July, just weeks after winning the provincial election.
The government said the cancellations would save ratepayers $790 million — a figure industry officials have disputed.
At the time, the government also said it would introduce legislation that would protect hydro consumers from any costs incurred from the cancellation.
Walker says today provincial taxpayers will foot the bill for the cancelled contracts, not hydro customers.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.
Time is important. Nowadays it is more important then ever and the phrase time is money is the best way of desribing 21st century. There is a trend towards making life more time-efficient. People do not want just food they want it fast, people don't just want internet they want LTE. People want the service they demand to be fast. Yet, good car wash can't be fast technically and it also takes time spent waiting in the line. That is why the idea of mobile car wash emerged in order to help people save their time and not to lose the high quality service.
The idea is based on creating waterless car wash so there would be no need for the water source. That will make the car wash possible almost at every place where one can get with a car. To substitute the water special chemicals will be used in order to get rid of the dust and polish the car.
First of all you safe time on the car wash.Second car wash comes to the place you want it to come. Third the chemicals not only clean the car but also polish the car and create a tiny protection layer that will help to keep the car cleaner.Finally it is cheaper then traditional car wash what makes your wallet thicker.
Clean car without an effort is a rational choice.

MDMA has recently begun to lose its magic for all of us. My friends and I don't do it that often, probably on average about once a month, maybe less, but the intensity and ecstasy of the trips have deteriorated significantly, in varying amounts for each individual. As well as this the undesirable side effects have also increased: depression, sickness and general lethargy. We had been researching other substances we could load up with to bring the spark back to the drug, and stumbled across a relatively undocumented phenonemon: piracetam.
As far as we understand, and we have researched this pretty well, piracetam is a nootropic which enhances communication between the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain. The chemical has no undesirable side effects and many people use it every day as part of their vitamin regimen because it is supposed to promote intelligence. 2400mg per day is the recommended dose, and when split into 3 800mg doses taken at equal intervals, the large dose is made manageable. For the first couple of days, the whole 2400mg can be taken at once as an 'attack dose' to provoke a response from the brain.
Although this is the recommended way of ingesting piracetam, our supply arrived only 2 days before we were going to take the MDMA. I began the attack dose right then but rest of the guys waited until about 4 hours before we took the MDMA. They all took 2400mg before, and then we a had 800mg as we bombed the MDMA. I expected my reaction to the MDMA to be stronger than the others', as I had been taking the piracetam longer. Not so, as we were soon to find out.
We all know that MDMA experiences are very volatile, in that the setting and mood of your surroundings influence your trip and maybe these conditions were not optimal that night. Personally, I prefer to be outside in the fresh air or at a festival with plenty of visual and audio stimulation but this time we were in a small flat with limited space. I suspect this restricted the pleasure of my trip and therefore if my experience of the piracetam doesn't sound too positive, definitely bear this in mind, because I do believe piracetam is amazing.
The effects of the nootropic varied from person to person. The usual anxiety and nausea was still present in the come up for most of us, and it was relatively gradual overall. However, although these are usually the symptoms of coming up for my boyfriend, he found that with piracetam he got the wave of ecstasy wash over him all of a sudden, in an overwhelminly pleasurable way. For me, the trip was good, and everyone agreed it felt 'clean', 'crisp' and clear, in a way which felt more controllable in the good sense. As for the doses of MDMA we took: 100mg to begin with and then another 80mg later on, which is actually significatly less than usual (I've been known to take almost a gram in one night. Not good).
Although my trip was enhanced, it was not 'as good as the first one', probably because of the surroundings, but everyone else thought that their experiences matched their first times, which is miraculous. Particularly moving was the experience of one of my friends, who has definitely lost the magic of recent; for example, when he takes MDMA he disappears into his own world and is completely withdrawn. He looks like he is not enjoying himself even though he assures us that he is. Anyway, with the piracetam he seemed to have an epiphany - the sparkle was back. None of us thought this possible.
Two of my friends took some BZP with TMFPP when they dropped. Hallucinations and intense visuals followed, and although the experience looked toooo intense for my liking they assured me that they were having the time of their lives! If you want to experiment with this combination, be prepared for some serious body shakes though, although apparently it is well worth it.
The comedown was the most best effect which the piracetam caused for myself: it was gradual and pleasant. Usually after taking MDMA I become paranoid with audio hallucinations and feel utterly drained but I actually feel in good spirits after that night. Despite feeling nausious to begin with, and not being able to manage food as a result, after a long sleep (we had had none in the last 30 hours) I was feeling perky. I even enjoyed some breakfast, which is a complete no-no usually after a night out. Everyone agrees that the comedown is most definitely made more bearable.
The verdict, therefore, of piracetam is that this seems to be a wonder drug. More experimentation is needed, because we have only experienced it just the once, but so far so good. Given better surroundings for my trip, I do believe that I can reach highs comparable to my first with piracetam, and even better is the fact that I can take much less and hopefully do myself less damage. My friends all agree that their experiences with the combination were immense, and plan to use piracetam every time we take MDMA. Hopefully, the same effects can be felt every time, and in that case, we have a lot of fun times ahead of us.
PS - Just as I was uploading this text, one of my friends who took piracetam and MDMA with us sent me a text message - he said 'Piracetam has completely changed my life, I feel so much better its untrue. Something was wrong but now I feel free.' This friend is at University, smokes and drinks and doesn't eat well, despite our constant suggestions for him to make his lifestyle more healthy. That message was out of the blue, I haven't even replied yet, but I am very glad to have made him feel this way by introducing him to piracetam.

Caching and Layering mechanism¶
Caching mechanism¶
Ansible bender has a caching mechanism. It is enabled by default. ab caches task results (=images). If a task content did not change and the base image is the same, the layer is loaded from cache instead of being processed again. This doesn’t work correctly with tasks which process file: ab doesn’t handle files yet.
You are able to control caching in two ways:
disable it completely by running
ab build --no-cache
or adding a tag to your task named
no-cache
— ab detects such tag and will not try to load from cache
Layering mechanism¶
When building your image by default, every task (except for setup) is being cached as an image layer. This may have bad consequences on storage and security: there may be things which you didn’t want to have cached nor stored in a layer (certificates, package manager metadata, build artifacts).
ab allows you to easily disable layering mechanism. All you need to do is to
add a tag stop-layering
to a task which will disable layering (and caching)
for that task and all the following ones.

NAME
ditroff - classical device independent roffDESCRIPTION
The name ditroff once marked a development level of the troff text processing system. In actual roff(7) systems, the name troff is used as a synonym for ditroff. The first roff system was written by Joe Osanna around 1973. It supported only two output devices, the nroff program produced text oriented tty output, while the troff program generated graphical output for exactly one output device, the Wang Graphic Systems CAT typesetter. In 1979, Brian Kernighan rewrote troff to support more devices by creating an intermediate output format for troff that can be fed into postprocessor programs which actually do the printout on the device. Kernighan's version marks what is known as classical troff today. In order to distinguish it from Osanna's original mono-device version, it was called ditroff (d/evice~i/ndependent~troff/) on some systems, though this naming isn't mentioned in the classical documentation. Today, any existing roff system is based on Kernighan's multi-device troff. The distinction between troff and ditroff isn't necessary any longer, for each modern troff provides already the complete functionality of ditroff. On most systems, the name troff is used to denote ditroff. The easiest way to use ditroff is the GNU roff system, groff. The groff(1) program is a wrapper around (di)troff that automatically handles postprocessing.SEE ALSO

Description
This function implements 4 different methods to automatically determine the NcmVector of knots, $\mathbf{x}$, of a NcmSpline given a relative error between the function $f$ to be interpolated and the spline result $\hat{f}$.
All available methods start with $n_0$ knots, $\mathbf{x}_0$, distributed across [xi
, xf
], including both limiting points.
The value of $n_0$ depends on the chosen interpolation method given by s
, e.g., NcmSplineCubicNotaknot has $n_0 = 6$.
The function $f$ is first interpolated at the $\mathbf{x}_0$ knots, producing the interpolated function $\hat{f}_0$. Next, the existing $n_0 - 1$ bins, $\Delta \mathbf{x}_0 = \mathbf{x}_0^{i+1} - \mathbf{x}_0^{i}$, are divided in half and test points are placed at those positions, $\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0 = \frac{\mathbf{x}_0^{i+1} + \mathbf{x}_0^{i}}{2}$. The following tests are done for each one of the bins $\Delta \mathbf{x}_0$ separately: \begin{equation*} \left| \frac{ \hat{f}_0(\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0) - f(\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0)}{f(\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0)} \right| < \mathrm{rel \_ error} \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \left| \frac{ \int_{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0} \hat{f}_0 - \int_{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0} f }{ \int_{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0} f } \right| < \mathrm{rel \_ error}. \end{equation*} Where $\int_{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0} f$ is the integral of the input function $f$ evaluated using Simpson's rule \begin{equation*} \int_{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0} f = \frac{\Delta \mathbf{x}_0}{6} \left[ f \left( \mathbf{x}_0^{i} \right) + 4 f \left( \overline{\mathbf{x}}_0 \right) + f \left( \mathbf{x}_0^{i+1} \right) \right] \end{equation*}
and the interpolated function $\hat{f}_0$ is integrated by applying ncm_spline_eval_integ()
.
If any bin passes those relations then, its associated test point $\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0$ together with both knots,
are defined as a good representation of the function $f$ and this specific bin does not need to be refined anymore.
If not, then $\mathbf{x}_0 \cup \overline{\mathbf{x}}_0$ is splitted once again into two more symmetric test points around $\overline{\mathbf{x}}_0$.
A new set of knots is defined, $\mathbf{x}_1 = \mathbf{x}_0 \cup \overline{\mathbf{x}}_0$.
The ones which did not pass the tests define another set of test points $\overline{\mathbf{x}}_1$ that lie between the $\mathbf{x}_0\cup \overline{\mathbf{x}}_0$.
The new set of knots $\mathbf{x}_1$ are used to create a new interpolated function $\hat{f}_1$, always in the full range [xi
, xf
].
The same tests are performed as before, but now with $\hat{f}_1(\overline{\mathbf{x}}_1)$, $f(\overline{\mathbf{x}}_1)$
and the integral now has limits $\Delta \mathbf{x}_1 = \Delta \mathbf{x}_0/2$, but only for those bins that did not pass the previous test.
Therefore, the tests are always applied on three knots at a time.
This procedure is repeated until the desired accuracy is met across the whole range [xi
, xf
]. Note that it will most probably create a inhomogeneous set of knots.

How social media reacted to South Africa’s World Cup final win over England
by By Press AssociationSouth Africa stormed to a 32-12 World Cup final victory over England in Yokohama to claim their third title.
Here, the PA news agency looks at the reaction from social media.
Former England flanker James Haskell said on Instagram: “Congratulations South Africa. Great performance and thoroughly deserved. Obviously I am devastated for England, every player and staff member could not have done more. They should all be proud of what they have achieved. I am proud of every one of them. I hope fans and the media remain level headed.”
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also extended congratulations to the victorious Springboks and agreed that England can reflect on the tournament with pride.
Former England winger Jason Robinson hailed the performance produced by South Africa.
Ex-England footballer Ian Wright was inspired by the story of Siya Kolisi, who became the first black South African to captain them to World Cup glory.
Those thoughts were echoed by Australian Lote Tuqiri.
