THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 8.5
Date Released: February 1995 Running Length: 1:43 Rated: PG (Nothing Offensive)
Starring: Jeni Courtney, Mick Lally, Richard Sheridan, Eileen Colgan, John Lynch Director: John Sayles Producers: Sarah Green and Maggie Renzi Screenplay: John Sayles based on THE SECRET OF THE RON MOR SKERRY by Rosalie K. Fry Released by Skerry Movies Corporation
In content, setting, and cast choice, THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH is a departure for writer/director John Sayles. The creative force behind such memorable and diverse films as MATEWAN, CITY OF HOPE, EIGHT MEN OUT, and PASSION FISH, has taken pen and camera across the Atlantic to Ireland, a land steeped in mystery and legend. There, using the folklore of the locals, he has brought to life an enchanting story about magic and tradition that is suitable for family viewing.
Before embarking on his adaptation of Rosalie K. Fry's out-of-print children's book, Sayles spent time researching the customs and language of the place where this film was to be set. His intention, from the beginning, was to create a picture in which Irish actors would not be given dialogue that seemed obviously written by a foreigner.
THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH is the story of 10-year old Fiona Coneelly (Jeni Courtney), a motherless girl living in the city who is sent to stay with her grandparents (Mick Lally and Eileen Colgan) when her father determines that his poor lifestyle is not suitable for raising a daughter. Fiona's grandparents live in a small fishing village across the waters from Roan Inish ("seal island"), the island where the Coneellys had thrived for generations until tragic circumstances forced them to the mainland. Now, however, legends about the family's connection to Roan Inish abound. Is Fiona's little brother, who drifted out to sea in a storm years ago, really dead, or have the seals nurtured and protected him? Is there any truth to the story that in Fiona's veins runs the blood of a selkie, a seal who became a woman? And what will it take to restore the ways of the past, something which inspires equal portions of longing and dread?
Geographically, Sayles may be in unfamiliar territory with THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH, but his inimitable style has been imprinted on this movie. Two of the director's trademarks--the ability to tell an engrossing story and the development of strong, three-dimensional characters -- are in evidence. With ROAN INISH, Sayles has found the perfect balance between the mystical and the concrete. Much like INTO THE WEST, the result is exuberant and compelling.
None of the actors in THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH are likely to be familiar to American viewers. Mick Lally, who does a wonderful job as the grandfather, is an accomplished Irish thespian whose work is rarely seen overseas. Jeni Courtney, another impressive child actor, has never before done a screen role. Her fiery performance is as much a testimony to her talent as to Sayles' direction.
There's no doubt that THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH is a most atypical motion picture, but in many ways, this is the best kind of movie -- one that takes us to a land where magic is real, and where a little girl can strive to find a lost brother and bring happiness to an entire family. The story, although straightforward, is by no means simple, and there's enough in THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH to delight both children and adults.

CSS Padding
CSS Padding property is used to define the space between the element content and the element border.
It is different from CSS margin in the way that CSS margin defines the space around elements. CSS padding is affected by the background colors. It clears an area around the content.
Top, bottom, left and right padding can be changed independently using separate properties. You can also change all properties at once by using shorthand padding property.
CSS Padding Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| padding | It is used to set all the padding properties in one declaration. |
| padding-left | It is used to set left padding of an element. |
| padding-right | It is used to set right padding of an element. |
| padding-top | It is used to set top padding of an element. |
| padding-bottom | It is used to set bottom padding of an element. |
CSS Padding Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| length | It is used to define fixed padding in pt, px, em etc. |
| % | It defines padding in % of containing element. |
CSS Padding Example
Output:
This is a paragraph with no specified padding.
This is a paragraph with specified paddings.

Model Torus visualizes a torus. The center of the torus is located at connector frame_a (visualized by the red coordinate system in the figure below). The left image below shows a torus with ri=0.5 m and ro = 0.2 m. The right images below shows the torus with the additional parameter settings:
opening = 45 degree startAngle = -135 degree stopAngle = 135 degree
In the advanced menu the discretization of the surface visualization can be defined by the number of points of the inner radius of the torus (n_ri) and by the number of points of the outer radius of the torus (n_ro). In case the torus is closed (that is, opening = 0 degree), the actual number of points is one less (that is n_ri-1, n_ro-1), because the first and the last point of the parametrization coincide in this case.


module Ast_mapper: sig .. end
A -ppx rewriter is a program that accepts a serialized abstract syntax tree and outputs another, possibly modified, abstract syntax tree. This module encapsulates the interface between the compiler and the -ppx rewriters, handling such details as the serialization format, forwarding of command-line flags, and storing state.
Ast_mapper.mapper
allows to implement AST rewriting using open recursion.
A typical mapper would be based on Ast_mapper.default_mapper
, a deep
identity mapper, and will fall back on it for handling the syntax it
does not modify. For example:
open Asttypes open Parsetree open Ast_mapper let test_mapper argv = { default_mapper with expr = fun mapper expr -> match expr with | { pexp_desc = Pexp_extension ({ txt = "test" }, PStr [])} -> Ast_helper.Exp.constant (Const_int 42) | other -> default_mapper.expr mapper other; } let () = register "ppx_test" test_mapper
This -ppx rewriter, which replaces [%test]
in expressions with
the constant 42
, can be compiled using
ocamlc -o ppx_test -I +compiler-libs ocamlcommon.cma ppx_test.ml
.
type mapper = {
|
attribute : mapper -> Parsetree.attribute -> Parsetree.attribute; |
|

The Geometry Library contains geometry classes and algorithms, which are separated from each other. This page describes the geometry algorithms.
Most geometry algorithms are templatized in two ways. This is described in the rationale.
OGC made standards on geometries, called simple features, and defines operations on geometries. In OGC all operations are class methods. The Geometry Library is a template library and defines the operations as standalone algorithms. The Geometry Library follows the OGC names for the naming of the algorithms.
The Geometry Library implements the following OGC algorithms, which are applicable to most or all geometries
within |
Returns true if one geometry falls completely within another geometry |
distance |
Returns the distance between two geometries |
intersection |
Returns a geometry containing the intersection between two geometries |
envelope |
Returns the bounding box of a geometry |
as_text |
Represents the geometry as a Well Known Text |
area |
Returns the area of surface-geometries |
length |
Returns the length of curve-type geometries |
centroid |
Returns a point geometry: the centroid on surface-geometries |
is_simple | Returns true if the geometry is simple (doesn't intersect itself) |
Apart from OGC, the following algorithms are provided:
simplify |
Returns a simplified (or "generalized") linestring or polygon using the Douglas Peucker algorithm |
The within algorithm checks if one geometry is located completely within another geometry. A well-known example is point-in-polygon, returning true if a point falls within a polygon. Many point-in-polygon algorithms ignore boundary cases (point is situated on boundary of polygon), however the within_point_in_polygon method should return true if a point is completely within the boundary of the polygon, and not on the boundary.
There are many possibilities and the matrix below gives some details about implementation.
|
linear ring |
polygon |
multi_polygon |
box |
circle |

All these algorithms are called within. As described in the rationale, all algorithms have a primary version called within_GEOMETRY_in_GEOMETRY, where GEOMETRY is replaced by the name of the geometry. So there is an algorithm within_point_in_polygon.
Examples:
typedef
geometry::point<float> P;
geometry::polygon<P> poly;
// polygon is
filled with points somehow
P p;
std::cout << p << ((
geometry::
within(p, poly) ? "within" : "not
within") << poly << std::endl;
// or, for
example if you have your own polygon or a derived polygon, the primary
version:
std::cout
<< p << ((
geometry::
within_point_in_polygon(p, poly) ?
"within" : "not within") << poly <<
std::endl;
The
distance
algorithm returns the distance between two geometries. The distance is
always returned as a double
type, regardless of the input type, because the distance between
integer coordinates is a square root and might be a double.
The generic versions are called distance
and are defined for the following combinations:
|
point |
segment |
linestring |
polygon |
multi_point |
multi_linestring |
multi_polygon |
|
|
point |

|
linestring |
|||||||
|
polygon |
|||||||
|
multi_point |
|||||||
|
multi_linestring |
|||||||
|
multi_polygon |
The primary versions are, for performance reasons, slightly different: they don't do the square root, they deliver the square distance. So there is a square_distance_point_to_linestring
Examples:
typedef
geometry::point<float> P;
P p1(1,1), p2(3,4);
std::cout << "distance " << p1
<< " - " << p2 << ": "
<< geometry::distance(p1, p2);
geometry::linestring<P> ls;
std::cout
<< "distance " << p1 << " - "
<< ls << ": " <<
geometry::distance(p1, ls);
// or, also
possible:
std::cout
<< "distance " << p1 << " - "
<< ls << ":
" <<
sqrt(geometry::square_distance_point_to_linestring(p1, ls));
The intersection algorithm
intersects two geometries, resulting in a third geometry. Intersection
can be implemented for OGC geometries. Besides that an often used
intersection is the intersection of a linestring or a polygon with a
box. This is normally called a clip.
The matrix below gives some details about implementation.

multi_polygon |
|
All these algorithms are called intersection. All algorithms have, again, a primary version called intersection_GEOMETRY_with_GEOMETRY, where GEOMETRY is
replaced by the name of the geometry. So there is an algorithm intersection_polygon_with_box
The envelope algorithm calculates the bounding box, or envelope, of a geometry. It is defined for all geometries.
The envelope of a point is a box with zero area, the maximum and the minimum point of the box are set to the point itself.
The envelope of a linestring is the smalles box that contains all points of the specified linestring. If the linestring is empty, the envelope is the inverse infinite box, that is, the minimum point is very large (max infinite) and the maximum point is very small (min infinite).
The envelope for polygon, and for all multi geometries, are defined as the envelope of the linestring described above.
The area of a geometry
calculates the surface area of all geometries having a surface: box,
circle, polygon, multi_polygon. The units are the square of the units
used for the points defining the surface. If the polygon is defined in
meters, the area is in square meters.
The centroid of a surface geometry returns a point which is the centroid the geometry.
The length algorithm is
implemented for the linestring and the multi_linestring geometry and
results in the length of the linestring. If the points of a linestring
have coordinates expressed in kilometers, the length of the line is
expressed in kilometers as well.
The as_text function streams the
specified geometry as OGC Well Known Text. It is defined for OGC
geometries. So it is not defined for box and circle.
The simplify algorithm
implementes the Douglas Peucker algorithm to simplify linestrings. It
is implemented for linestrings, multi_linestrings, linear rings,
polygons and multi_polygons. Note, however, that simplifying a valid
simple polygon (which never intersects itself) might result in an
invalid polygon, where the simplified rings intersect themselves or
one of the other outer or inner rings.

YouTube Premium and Music expand to seven new regions in Asia
Source: Joe Maring / Android Central
What you need to know
- YouTube Premium and Music are expanding to seven new regions in Asia this month.
- The new regions include Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
- With YouTube Premium, you get access to ad-free videos, offline playback, and background play.
Google is continuing its expansion of YouTube Premium and Music this month by adding seven new regions in Asia. That's one less than its last expansion back in September when eight new countries joined the list — making the service available in over 70 countries in total.
This month's expansion adds some of Asia's most prominent locations, including Indonesia which is the fourth most populated country in the world. To put that in perspective, the U.S. is currently ranked third, making Indonesia a prime new market for YouTube revenue. The full list of new locations can be found below.
- Hong Kong
- Indonesia
- Malaysia
- Philippines
- Singapore
- Taiwan
- Thailand
If you're in one of these new locations and wondering what YouTube Premium and Music has to offer you, then listen up. With YouTube Premium, you get ad-free videos with the option to watch offline and you can even play videos in the background with other apps opened or when the screen is locked.
YouTube Music gives you much of the same with the ability to listen to ad-free music, download tracks for listening offline, or background playback. The price will vary from region to region, but Android Police shows that in the Philippines the current price for YouTube Premium is 159 PHP ($3.14 USD) a month and 129 PHP ($2.55 USD) for YouTube Music.

Unable to convince partner Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis resigns
by JKR StaffUnable to convince partner Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis resigned from his post on Friday. He met the Governor to submit his resignation. The incumbent chief minister drove to Raj Bhavan in south Mumbai and submitted his resignation to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.
Moments later, a visibly exasperated chief minister addressed the media expressing his disappointment over his party’s inability to persuade the Shiv Sena to form a coalition government headed by him.
Speaking to reporters, Fadnavis denied that the 50:50 formula was ever discussed between the two parties ahead of the elections. He also said that he had made several phone calls to Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray but the latter had refused to answer his calls.
Ever since the assembly polls were announced on 24 October, the Shiv Sena has been demanding the implementation of what it said was a 50:50 formula whereby both coalition partners will have their chief ministers for half the term each.
The Shiv Sena and BJP alliance had won 161 out of 288 seats in the state assembly. In the polls, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena-56, NCP-54 and the Congress won 44 seats.
The term of the current assembly session is ending on 9 November. If the parties are unable to stake their claims on the government formation by the deadline, then the Governor can impose President’s Rule in the state.


{sweep-amplitude-cluster.png width=373}
This contains {_parameter parameters} related to the {_sweep} shape and amplitude. The {Sweep_shape shape} parameter has sixteen choices, including some short repetitive patterns. The box to the right of the {_button buttons} shows a graph of four sweep cycles, which is the length of the longest pattern.
The {Sweep_amplitude_mod_select mod select} parameter chooses what controls the amplitude of the sweep. Since delayed sweep is so commonly used, it includes a built-in delay ramp generator, so that a full {_envelope} doesn't need to be used. The delay ramp goes from \-1 to +1, but the sweep amplitude can't be negative so the result is to delay for the first half of the time, and then ramp from zero to one over the second half.
The {Sweep_amplitude_mod_depth mod depth} parameter determines how much the amplitude of the sweep is varied. It scales the modulation around a value of one {_unit}, rather than zero.  If it is set to 100%, the modulation can vary the amplitude from zero to 100%. If it is set to 50%, it can vary the amplitude from 50% to 100%.
The rectangular box is actually a graph of the response, and varies when the two parameters are adjusted. See the mod depth parameter for details on how to interpret these graphs.

Maternity benefits
The absence of adequate maternity benefits and leave provisions in India’s policy measures is despite the fact that mothers, even those working in the formal sector, are forced to disproportionately bear the care-giving burden while facing discrimination in recruitment, promotion and work allocation. Not only maternity provisions but other women-centred health care services are ignored, as is evident from a dearth of breast-feeding stations and separate functioning toilets in offices and workplaces. Underlying such policy neglect on the part of the government is an unwillingness of policymakers to de-glorify motherhood and see the liabilities, risks and forgone opportunities it entails (Editorial page, “The mother of non-issues,” Nov. 19).

30 December 2005
The Ministry of Health of China has confirmed an additional case of human infection on the mainland with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The case is a 41-year-old woman from the south-eastern province of Fujian. She developed symptoms of fever followed by pneumonia on 6 December, and was admitted to hospital two days later. The patient died on 21 December.
On 13 December, initial laboratory tests on samples from the patient tested negative for H5N1. But further tests on 23 December – including PCR tests carried out at the Chinese Center for Disease Control in Beijing – showed positive results. The virus was also isolated from the patient.
Close contacts who have been placed under medical observation have not displayed any symptoms, health authorities report.
Agricultural authorities so far have not been able to confirm the presence of the H5 virus subtype in poultry in the vicinity of the patient’s residence or place of work. Investigators have not been able to confirm any direct contact between the patient and poultry prior to the onset of illness. The investigation, however, is continuing and answers to these and other questions are still being sought.
This is China’s seventh laboratory-confirmed human case. Of these cases, three have been fatal (including this latest case). To date, China has reported human cases in six provinces and regions: Hunan, Anhui, Guangxi, Liaoning, Jiangxi and Fujian.


Supernova 1/2* (out of * * * * )
Directed by Thomas Lee. Cast: Angela Bassett, James Spader, Wilson Cruz, Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, Lou Diamond Phillips, Robert Forster. 2000 - 85 minutes Rated PG-13 (for violence, sex, and brief nudity). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, January 15, 2000.
There once was a sci-fi film that MGM budgeted at $60-million plus that went through directors as it was filming just about as quickly as a child goes through candy. The first smart soul left citing creative differences. Then Walter Hill came onboard the project, but after seeing his vision sliced down to a nearly unrecognizable 85 minutes, he requested his name be taken off and replaced with the pseudonym of Thomas Lee. Rumor has it that even Francis Ford Coppola was hired to film the reshoots. Every filmmaker, it seems, had the right idea when deciding they didn't want to take credit for the film. By the way, the film I speak of is "Supernova," it has allegedly sat on the shelf for almost two years, and it is a haphazard excuse for a movie, the type that you watch and then immediately wonder if the studio expected one person in the whole audience to walk out of the theater liking it. Handling your very negative feelings about "Supernova," you can either get angry at having part of your night wasted, or you can heartily laugh and make fun of it on the drive home from the theater. My filmgoing companions and I chose the latter---with a vengeance!
Even in the opening minutes, "Supernova" screams of severe post-production editing, and you'd suspect it was to salvage any sort of remains of a worthwhile motion picture. But remember MGM's 1998 thriller, "Disturbing Behavior." After whittling down the poor director's vision from 110 to a ridiculously short 83 minutes, out went any signs of character development and in came one plot hole after the next. The deleted scenes were then resurrected on DVD, and after watching the 110-minute version, I grew a deep sympathy for all involved, except the culprits at MGM. Even the 83-minute cut of "Disturbing Behavior," however, is reminiscent of "Gone With the Wind" compared to the bone-headed plotting and amateurish cutting of "Supernova."
The cast is filled with such talent, both from veterans and rising stars, that it is an unfortunate state of affairs when every single one of them can fall for appearing in a movie that has been so distinctly recycled from countless other films. "Supernova" may have been chopped up and stir-fried to its current paltry length, but no cutting in the world can hide the fact that this story did not need to be told again, and the millions of dollars certainly did not need to be so egregiously wasted. Making things more depressing is that the visual effects look like they have come right out of a direct-to-video movie. Where did all that money go to? Did the cast and crew literally throw the hundred dollar bills up in the air and, to entertain themselves, shoot at it with guns during the breaks in filming?
Supposedly set in the 23rd-century, since I read this in a magazine article (the year is never mentioned in the film itself), on the medical rescue vessel Nightingale, which must answer a distress signal, the inhabitants include...oh, why bother with names or characters? The screenwriter and editor sure didn't. At the mine where the signal is coming from, they meet Troy (Peter Facinelli), who is welcomed aboard and turns out to be an alien and kills everyone aside from the first two actors billed in the credits. The vessel continues off into space, and the title "Supernova" appears on the screen, which then fades to black. The end.  I didn't think so.

Without a doubt, San Francisco County has some of the highest housing prices in the country, and thus, highest mortgaged amounts, with > 50% of housing requiring mortgages in excess of $1 million dollars (pink bar). Other high income counties, such San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Manhattan have a similar distribution of mortgages. Moving for the purposes of lower housing costs may not be an option in those locations.
San Francisco county has the fewest mortgages (~5%) valued at $500K or lower (red bar and lower).
Surprisingly, Contra Costa county and Los Angeles both have >50% of mortgages less than $500,000 (red bar and lower). Out of state King County in Washington state, Multnomah County in Oregon, Cook County in Illinois, and Travis County in Texas have a much larger spread of lower valued mortgages, suggesting that the economic benefits of lower housing costs could be a reason to move.
Debt includes secondary mortgages and other loans.
The debt-to-income ratios are high in San Francisco county. Surprisingly, all the top destinations in California, including Los Angeles have 50% or more housing debt to income ratios in excess of 4 (red bar). This suggests that overall costs are high in California, and only minor improvements to be found within these California destinations
Being able to move to a location with lower overall costs, as suggested by the debt-to-income ratios in Washington, Oregon, Illinois and Texas, may be a reason for the outflow of people from California.

Nice Girls Don't Explode (1987) 92m.
Other film-makers could take a lesson from this comedy, which gets the right mileage out of its simple premise: April Flowers (Michelle Meyrink, a regular player in teen comedies) is kept away from boys by her overprotective mother (Barbara Harris) because fires have a tendency to spontaneously ignite whenever her hormones are aroused. When it looks as though she's about to rekindle a friendship with an old flame (William O'Leary), Mom goes into overdrive.
The film's title is suggestive of those disposable quickies from the Troma studio, but it's really nothing of the kind. I don't know whether NICE GIRLS DON'T EXPLODE is underrated, overlooked, or just unknown, but it's an appealing comedy. True, there are no great moments or humorous highlights, but the film's buoyant tone remains faithful from start to finish. This is aided by the script's trimming of subplots and padding, so that the story is almost solely constructed of ongoing oneupmanship between Harris and O'Leary, with Meyrink caught in the middle. Wallace Shawn plays a fourth character (a pyromaniac that has trouble making friends!) just to give the other three something to bounce off. What I like about the film is that all four of the film's central players not only give totally different performances, as if they had been placed together from four separate comedies, but also relate to each other in very different ways - e.g. Shawn meets Meyrink in a psychiatrist's waiting room, sells incendiary supplies to her mother, and makes friends with her boyfriend in jail, yet is completely unaware that the three of them have any outside connection. It's this state of inhabiting their own private universes that prevents everyone in the film from noticing anyone else's eccentricities - the spillover effect is that we don't think they come across as that unusual either.
The whole idea of teenage hormones literally catching alight in the heat of passion makes NICE GIRLS DON'T EXPLODE a humorous reminder of those old public information films that American youth was shown in the 50s. If it weren't for the clothes and cars, you'd swear that this film was supposed to take place in that era. In fact, it is so wholesome in its execution that it almost could have been made back then - but it's plain that the film's appearance is meant to perpetuate the tongue-in-cheek 50s morality of the whole enterprise.

The aim of this thesis is to develop diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and a Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) programs written in OpenCL and/or CUDA, in order to test the potential of Graphical processing units (GPUs) in Monte Carlo studies of both bosonic and fermionic systems.
The thesis entails the development of VMC and DMC codes for bosons and fermions, tailored to run on large supercomputing cluster with thousands of cores. These codes will then be rewritten in OpenCL and/or CUDA and tested on different GPUs, in order to see if a considerable speedup can be gained. Such a speedup, if we at least an order of magnitude is gained compared with existing in C++/Fortran codes that run on present supercomputers, will have trememdous consenquences for ab initio studies of quantum mechanical systems. The prices of the GPUs are of the order of few thousands of NOK, compared with large supercomputers which can cost billions of NOK.
The physics cases will deal with Bose-Einstein condensation and studies of the structure of atoms like Neon or Argon or electrons confined to move in harmonic oscilaltor like traps. In this way, both bosonic and fermionic systems will be tested.
The aim is to use these methods and evaluate the ground state properties of a trapped, hard sphere Bose gas over a wide range of densities using VMC and DMC methods with several trial wave functions, as well as testing fermionic systems. These wave functions are used to study the sensitivity of condensate and non-condensate properties to the hard sphere radius and the number of particles. The traps we will use are both a spherical symmetric (S) harmonic and an elliptical (E) harmonic trap in three dimensions given by $$ \begin{equation} V_{ext}({\bf r}) = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{2}m\omega_{ho}^2r^2 & (S)\\ \strut \frac{1}{2}m[\omega_{ho}^2(x^2+y^2) + \omega_z^2z^2] & (E) \label{trap_eqn} \end{array} \end{equation} $$ with $$ \begin{equation} H = \sum_i^N \left( \frac{-\hbar^2}{2m} { \bigtriangledown }_{i}^2 + V_{ext}({\bf{r}}_i)\right) + \sum_{i < j}^{N} V_{int}({\bf{r}}_i,{\bf{r}}_j), \label{_auto1} \end{equation} $$ as the two-body Hamiltonian of the system. Here \( \omega_{ho}^2 \) defines the trap potential strength. In the case of the elliptical trap, \( V_{ext}(x,y,z) \), \( \omega_{ho}=\omega_{\perp} \) is the trap frequency in the perpendicular or \( xy \) plane and \( \omega_z \) the frequency in the \( z \) direction. The mean square vibrational amplitude of a single boson at \( T=0K \) in the trap \eqref{trap_eqn} is \( < x^2>=(\hbar/2m\omega_{ho}) \) so that \( a_{ho} \equiv (\hbar/m\omega_{ho})^{\frac{1}{2}} \) defines the characteristic length of the trap. The ratio of the frequencies is denoted \( \lambda=\omega_z/\omega_{\perp} \) leading to a ratio of the trap lengths \( (a_{\perp}/a_z)=(\omega_z/\omega_{\perp})^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \).
We represent the inter-boson interaction by a pairwise, hard core potential $$ \begin{equation} V_{int}(r) = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{ll} \infty & r \leq a\\ 0 & {r} > a \end{array} \label{_auto2} \end{equation} $$ where \( a \) is the hard core diameter of the bosons. Clearly, \( V_{int}(r) \) is zero if the bosons are separated by a distance \( r \) greater than \( a \) but infinite if they attempt to come within a distance \( r \leq a \).
Similarly, for the fermionic systems we will study systems of electrons confined to move in two- and three-dimensional harmonic oscillator traps, so-called quantum dot systems.


As we have seen, a JDOQL query is made up of different parts. In this section we look at the result part of the query. The result is what we want returning. By default (when not specifying the result) the objects returned will be of the candidate class type, where they match the query filter. Firstly let’s look at what you can include in the result clause.
this - the candidate instance
A field name
A variable
A parameter (though why you would want a parameter returning is hard to see since you input the value in the first place)
An aggregate (count(), avg(), sum(), min(), max())
An expression involving a field (e.g "field1 + 1")
A navigational expression (navigating from one field to another … e.g "field1.field4")
The result is specified in JDOQL like this
query.setResult("count(field1), field2");
In Single-String JDOQL you would specify it directly.
What you specify in the result defines what form of result you get back.
Object - this is returned if you have only a single row in the results and a single column. This is achived when you specified either UNIQUE, or just an aggregate (e.g "max(field2)")
Object[] - this is returned if you have only a single row in the results, but more than 1 column (e.g "max(field1), avg(field2)")
List<Object> - this is returned if you have only a single column in the result, and you don’t have only aggregates in the result (e.g "field2")
List<Object[]> - this is returned if you have more than 1 column in the result, and you don’t have only aggregates in the result (e.g "field2, avg(field3)")
There are situations when you want to return a single number for a column, representing an aggregate of the values of all records. There are 5 standard JDO2 aggregate functions available. These are
avg(val) - returns the average of "val". "val" can be a field, numeric field expression or "distinct field".
sum(val) - returns the sum of "val". "val" can be a field, numeric field expression, or "distinct field".
count(val) - returns the count of records of "val". "val" can be a field, or can be "this", or "distinct field".
min(val) - returns the minimum of "val". "val" can be a field
max(val) - returns the maximum of "val". "val" can be a field
So to utilise these you could specify something like
Query q = pm.newQuery("SELECT max(price), min(price) FROM mydomain.Product WHERE status == 1");
This will return a single row of results with 2 values, the maximum price and the minimum price of all products that have status code of 1.
JDO 2 introduces the ability to use aggregates in queries. Here’s another example using the same Product class as above, but this time looking for the maximum price of products that are CD Players. Note that the result for this particular query will be of type Double since there is a single double precision value being returned via the "result".
Declarative JDOQL : Query query = pm.newQuery(mydomain.Product.class); query.setFilter("name == \"CD Player\""); query.setResult("max(this.price)"); List results = (List)query.execute(); Iterator iter = c.iterator(); Double max_price = (Double)iter.next(); Single-String JDOQL : Query query = pm.newQuery("SELECT max(price) FROM mydomain.Product WHERE name == \"CD Player\""); List results = (List)query.execute(); Iterator iter = c.iterator(); Double max_price = (Double)iter.next();


The Saint (1997)
On the television series of the same name, Roger Moore and Ian Ogilvy played the Saint as a Robin Hood via James Bond. Not so in the latest, cinematic version, where Simon Templar (Hollywood bete noire Val Kilmer) uses his human fly and lockpicking services for the highest bidders.  So, when Tretiak, a Russian former Communist turned mob boss and presidential candidate, employs him to steal the secret of cold fusion from an American physicist at Oxford, Dr. Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue), he has a difficult time. A master of disguise and escape, The Saint penetrates Emma's life, and surprises himself by falling for her.
One of the biggest stars of the movie is Moscow. To my knowledge this is the first big Hollywood movie to take full advantage of Moscow for its backdrop--from the Kremlin and Red Square to Soviet-style apartment blocks and subterranean mazes. The political intrigues and doublecrosses are not contrived and for once, the real suspense is in the chases, not the explosions (kept, gratefully, to a minimum). London and Berlin also provide wonderful atmosphere. Most of the sites shown in this wintry film evoke a lot of gray, somber tones.
Val Kilmer puts in a good performance as The Saint, with a variety of disguises. He seems believable as the mercenary daredevil who finally lets his conscience dictate to him. Elisabeth Shue seems a bit too young and naive for the role of the physicist. But, she seems addled enough throughout to be the scientist suddenly tossed into skullduggery. The plot also avoids ending at a romantic upswing and delivers a few last-minute surprises without being excessive.
Rade Serbedzija and Valeri Nikolayev are wonderful as the diabolical father-and-son-duo, Ivan and Ilya Tretiak, respectively. Charlotte Cornwall and Alun Armstrong are also very amusing in their roles of Scotland Yard Detectives who are onto the Saint.
TV has made much of the soundtrack, which does not seem so apparent during the movie. At one point, during the initial love scene, a pop tune that drifts in and out of the much better score is quite annoying.

Speedtesting gulp.js and Grunt
gulp.js is the new hot young thing on the front-end circuit; it is a task runner similar to Grunt. There are many anecdotal reports saying that gulp.js is far quicker than Grunt at performing similar tasks so naturally I wanted to see this for myself using Kickoff – the front-end framework we use at TMW – as a Guinea Pig.
Kickoff uses Grunt for a number of tasks; compiling Sass and updating the browser view on-the-fly and concatenating and minifying Javascript for example. Porting this config from Grunt to gulp.js was fairly easy. Travis Maynard has written a great intro to gulp.js which made this switch doubly easy.
The gulp.js fork of Kickoff can be found at github.com/tmwagency/kickoff/tree/gulp and the gulpfile.js holds all the config. I found editing the gulpfile
quite easy; more so than a Gruntfile. I followed similar ideas to our Grunt setup to make it more maintainable e.g. using variables to avoid repetition – see lines 16-37 of the Kickoff gulpfile.
Speed comparison tests
Sass compilation
Gulp here is about twice as fast as Grunt at running the same task and immediately you can see what all the fuss is about. Grunt uses grunt-contrib-sass and gulp.js uses gulp-ruby-sass (both of which use Ruby) to compile. gulp-ruby-sass is slower than gulp-sass, but more stable and feature-rich so I will make the switch when it improves, so I reckon that the difference will be even greater when this happens. See the gulpfile settings for this here.
Javascript minification and concatination using Uglify.js
The difference here is not that large but it is still impressive. See the gulpfile settings for this here.
Live Reload
Live Reload is an indispensable tool for us, both gulp.js and Grunt have plugins for it (Grunt's is built into grunt-contrib-watch). I was not able to measure the speeds between the two but I would say that gulp.js was noticeably quicker overall, but not hugely.
Conclusion
As you can see gulp.js is insanely fast, but that does not mean we are going to be making the switch any time soon. There are two plugins that we regularly use that aren't supported by gulp.js, these are grunt-contrib-connect (for starting a static web server) and grunt-jekyll (for building our Jekyll sites). gulp.js just doesn't have the ecosystem and support that Grunt has; although the one man army of Sindre Sorhus might be changing that!
Update 16/01/2014
It has come to my attention that people are misinterpreting this post slightly. My purpose was not to provide a scientific comparison of the two but more of a real world, anecdotal comparison, as Luis Martins states below, there seem to be significant speed gains using gulp.js.
It also seems that there was a misunderstanding, on my part, of what gulp.js is compared to Grunt. I did not realise initially that one could write the code (thanks mollerse) for a static server within the gulpfile, negating the need for a specific plugin. The same could also be said of a specific Jekyll plugin.
In any case, it seems to have got the discussion started about this misconception which can only be a good thing.
Update 17/01/2014
Eric Schoffstall, creator of gulp.js, actually submitted a pull request on my gulpfile to help improve the accuracy of these timings. As a result, the speed gains are not as significant as I once thought but they are still pretty large. I have updated the screenshots and copy above to reflect these new timings.

Learn how to create and combine UI components, and respond to user interactions through event handling and bindings.
At its core, Typescene is an object-oriented GUI toolkit for web applications. It provides a set of standard components that you can use to build your user interface (UI) such as buttons, text fields, and containers.
These components are made available as classes in the UI
namespace – such as UI.Button
and UI.Container
. You can extend these classes to build your own UI components, group components together, and respond to user input.
Typescene avoids the use of markup languages such as HTML or XAML, and instead provides the concept of component factories to define the structure of your pages, dialogs, and other components.
This means that you can use all components in different ways:
new UI.Button("OK")
creates a button component instance.class MyButton extends UI.Button
defines a custom button class.let ButtonFactory = UI.Button.with({ label: "OK" })
creates a button factory.new ButtonFactory()
creates an instance using a button factory.This is the documentation page for “Using UI components”, part of the Typescene toolkit.


This Intranet page is still in the early stages but I wanted to get it out in front of people so they could get comments back to while I was working in it, not after.
I have collected a great deal of information that I want to present to the PIRCS group because I feal it would be of interest to the. It is my hope that this page will actually become usefull, not a common thing on the WWW I am sad to say.

 My sister is 38 weeks pregnant and I can’t wait to meet baby Teo. Being away from her while in Nepal, knowing that she was pregnant with her first baby, was hard! But it gave me time to think ideas and prepare her baby shower!
We got together at my grandma’s patio, at 6pm, to enjoy some crafts and treats together. Maria’s friends were invited, and also family. We got organized so people would bring things to eat and drink. Here is what we had:
To eat:
- Cut out fruit (watermelon, mango and bananas)
- Chocolate crispies
- Apple tart
- Little chocolate puffs
To drink:
- Fresh orange juice
- Mint lemonade
- Coffee
Then, knowing that my sister was not very into “typical baby shower games” and more into handcrafted stuff, we worked on 3 activities together.
The first one was making flower crowns with natural flowers. All we needed was:
- Flowers and foliage
- Green tape
- Wire
- Scissors and wire cutters
I kind of showed them how to make one and everyone worked on their own little creation! They turned out beautiful!
She was not the only pregnant one!
Everyone enjoyed the yummy treats, even the little ones!
Once every one had their flower crown ready we moved on to the next crafts. Some of us made colorful bracelets with thread, remembering the summers as little girls, making friendship bracelets of all sorts of colors and patterns!
The rest sat down and concentrated to work on some cute but hard to make elephant origami to creat a cute mobile for the baby’s room, like this one:
To decorate the patio, I hung some felted rainbow flags that I got in Nepal and some baby pictures of Maria and Jose, the future parents, so we could see what baby Teo is going to look like!
Some other simple ideas to add to a baby shower’s fun:
- Birth day calendar: Design a calendar, marking the baby’s due date, so everyone can write their names and try to guess what day the baby is going to be born!
- Wisdom book: a little notebook for the baby shower guests to write some words of encoragment, love and advice for the new mother to read after the baby is born.
- Birth Bracelet: the idea is to make a bracelet with differents beads, so every guest at the shwower chooses one, and later the future mother wears it and can feel connected to her girldfriends everytime she looks at it and need some encouragment!
- Mama’s guiz: the baby shower organizer will ask the future mama some questions beforehand about her personal preferences and memories like “The last country I’ve visited was…” or “One thing I would really like to learn to do is …” and then prepare a little quiz for her girldfriends to see who knows her better, adding 4 optional answers, to choose the right one for each questions. The person who gets the most answers right will get a little prize!
- Meal train: organize home-made meal giving for the new parents. Every guest can sign up for a day, after the baby is born, to bring the new family a nurishing meal, so they don’t have to worry abot cooking and cleaning that day!

Mother and mother-in-law didn’t want to miss the fun!
It was a very relaxed and beuatiful shower. We all had fun and spend a great afternoon/evening with people we love learning to make things with our hands. What could better than that?
Love you tieta Maria!
