Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A brilliantly stylized period piece set in Kyoto in 1865, during the final days of the samurais. It's written and directed by the great Japanese filmmaker, Nagisa Oshima (In the Realm of the Senses/Empire of Passion/Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence). This is the 69-year-old filmmaker's first feature in 14 years and the first since the 1995 minor stroke which left him part-paralysed on his right side. He directed this powerful film, which explores homosexuality in the ranks of the military, from a wheelchair. It also relates to the affects of uncontrollable passion with death, as it explores how jealousy among men lovers can be deadly.
Taboo has a dreamlike quality to it that is spellbinding as it creates an eerie blue mood and makes the characters glow with a haunting feeling that this tale is taking place in the afterworld. Its tale is focused on a new recruit to the Shinsen militia, who seeks to become a samurai warrior. He's an effeminate and beautiful 18-year-old, a rich merchant's son named Sozaburo Kano (Ryuhei Matsuda). The militia he joins puts down insurrections, maintains order among the clans, and protects the shogun. At the same time he joins, another recruit -- Hyozo Tashiro (Tadanobu Asano), a commoner, also becomes a samurai. They are selected by Commander Isami Kondo (Yoichi Sai) and his Lieutenant Commander, Captain Toshizo Hijikata (Takeshi Kitano). Kano is very appealing because of his boyish locks of hair and sensual and regal mannerisms, and his great ability as a warrior; his stunning looks attracts everyone's attention. In history, the Shinsen militia was renown for its ruthless code of conduct, its violent use of force, and its open homosexuality.
The plot revolves around the lust among the men for him, as he joins them in the barracks. The first to have a whack at him is Tashiro, who cuddles up to him in their sleeping quarters and gets him from behind as Kano passively says nothing but appears to not be stimulated by the rape. But he rebuffs his advances to be lovers, even as he says that he never has known a woman's caresses. His superiors, Kondo and Hijikata, take an obsessive interest in him and act concerned that there is a jealousy among the men over him, thinking this will spoil the militia's unity (the U.S. Army might have the same homosexual dilemma in mind when they initiated their policy of: don't ask, don't tell).
To test his courage, the new recruit is ordered to carry out a beheading of a fellow sumarai who broke the strict rules of conduct. Kano executes him without any hesitation and with an efficiency that greatly pleases his superiors. Later, he is ordered to kill Tashiro, whom his superiors suspect of being his lover and of being overly jealous that Kano is seeing other men. He does that assignment without one peep of protest. The superiors further connive to find ways to deal with this situation, as Hijikata orders a sergeant to get him a geisha girl. But Kano refuses to sleep with her, saying he prefers the sergeant. The commanders discuss between them all the rumors surrounding Kano and his lovers, as the film concocts a bitter story about a possessed young man who joined the militia so he can kill freely. He's an individual who is now faced with resolving what he narcissistically has attracted.
The film is an ambiguous one. Its look at homosexuality is also a look at how others look at it, and what we know about that is seen in the expressions made. It examines the violence that goes with a sex that is against the law. The most mysterious scene comes at the end, when we look into Takeshi Kitano's face (his is the most expressive one and perhaps, even though he's a heterosexual, the one who is most jealous of Kano) -- and follow his emotional thrusts as he cuts down a cherry tree in bloom with his sword at his anger over what he believes he sees in Kano and in himself. The film ends without a clarity to what Kano or the commanders were going through internally. It works best as poetry, as it seems to connect the beauty of Kano with an inherent evil he possesses to draw those to him who are willing to die for their desires. It's the closest we might come to decifering what all the ambiguity meant, as each one's perception might differ as to what beauty is and what price they are willing to pay for it. A thoroughly maddening work from arguably Japan's best living director.

THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION RATING: 5 / 10 --> Not good

Another "Jennifer-Aniston-cast-as-the-beautiful-girl-with-no-luck- in-relationships" movie attempts to add a little variety onto the proverbial menu, by slapping a gay lead as her man of choice, while serving the consequences of their relationship as the main course.
PLOT: Lovely, independent woman does not want her boyfriend to move in with her, but does request a gay friend of hers to do the same. Her relationship with the gay man blossoms into a true friendship, as her actual relationship with her boyfriend begins to crumble. When faced with a life-altering decision, she must decide who she really loves, who really loves her back, and how these decisions will affect their future.
CRITIQUE: Would-be comedy actually delivers very little in the chuckle department, runs way too long, musters up a weak ending, and offers nothing substantially original or thought-provoking to the audience. This film was actually quite dramatic at points, and within that context, delivered very little substance to back itself up. The funnier moments were lacking, the characters seemed pieced together, and the ending just seemed to politically-agree with anyone who might care (except for an audience looking to be entertained, that is.)
CHASING AMY (7.5/10) is the Kevin Smith film that bookmarked the idea of a heterosexual falling head over heels for a homosexual, but that film made sure that we understood where each character was coming from, mixed the whole fling within various real circumstances, and delivered many funny moments and hip dialogue. Having said that, I also didn't care for AMY's ending, but that's because I didn't find Banky's decision realistic. This movie, on the other hand, seemed very cliché, unoriginal, and quite boring.
Many of Nina's (Aniston) decisions in the film seem self-centered and unexplained, and left us wondering why she was acting the way that she was. Also, I never really bought into her "love" for her gay roommate, and didn't appreciate the zillions of shots of them dancing together, to make this point (Oh, I get it. If they're dancing together, that MUST be love!!). All in all, this film is so-so in its narrative, so-so in the acting department, but boring over its entire close to two-hour running course. Nigel Hawthorne was the only standout in the cast as the older, wiser, and more sensitive soul.
Unless you are in this exact type of situation in your own life, do not see this film. And even if you are in the same type of scenario, you will still not be entertained by this film, but may take away some questions of your own. Either way, do yourself a favor and see Kevin Smith's CHASING AMY instead. A way superior movie, with better characters, better dialogue, and a much more entertaining story-line. You might even want to see MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING (7.5/10) for a more mainstream solution.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Nigel Hawthorne is presently one of the few openly gay men actors working in Hollywood. Jennifer Aniston's real name is Jennifer Anistonopoulos. She was brought up in Greece and New York City. Her father, John Aniston, has been playing "Victor Kiriakis" on the soap opera "Days of our Lives" since 1985. The late Telly Savalas, famous as TV's "Kojak" (Who loves ya, baby?), is her godfather. Jennifer received $2,000,000 to star in 1997's PICTURE PERFECT. She also played Ferris Bueller's sister in the ill-fated TV version of the classic pic, and co-starred with director Quentin Tarantino in "Steven Spielberg's Director's Chair" CD-ROM game.
Timothy Daly is the brother of Tyne Daly, famous for playing Lacey in TV's "Cagney & Lacey". His film debut was in Barry Levinson's DINER (7.5/10) opposite fellow movie-virgins Paul Reiser and Ellen Barkin.
Review Date: October 3, 1998 Director: Nicolas Hytner Writer: Wendy Wasserstein (from a Stephen McCauley novel) Producer: Laurence Mark Actors: Jennifer Aniston as Nina Borowski Paul Rudd as George Hanson Timothy Daly as Dr. Robert Joley Nigel Hawthorne as Rodney Fraser Genre: Comedy Year of Release: 1998

PUBG might be getting a clan system on PC
by Lauren MortonPlayerunknown's Battlegrounds is no stranger to regular updates (you can keep up with the patch notes on our PUBG updates page) and an upcoming one may add a clan system to the game.
A frequent dataminer known as PlayerIGN who previously predicted the PUBG Global Championship skins has returned with more datamined information and some leaked images. According to the images PlayerIGN tweeted out listing the information gathered, clans will be able to have a title, slogan, and a max number of 20 members.
If you're curious, here's the rest of the character limit and more detailed information that PlayerIGN posted:
- Cost: 5000 BP (Battle Points)
- Title: 2-15 character limit
- Tag: 2-4 character limit
- Slogan: 30 character limit
- Presentation: 180 character limit
- Members: 20 limit
Clans will also be able to receive resumes from recruits, though whether those will be custom-created in some way by players or just an automatic form with their name and stats we don't know.
PUBG added a clan system to the mobile version of the game back in July of 2018 so it doesn't come as a huge surprise that this update might make its way to PC. The bigger question is when this supposed feature might make it into an update.
Thanks, Loadout.

UPS coordinates follow the general rule that the southern and western boundaries of an area are considered to be part of that area, while the northern and eastern boundaries are not.
The range of valid UPS easting coordinates is between zero and 4,000,000m. The range of valid UPS northing coordinates is also from zero to 4,000,000m.
Albers Equal
Area Conic Projection
Parameters:
Central Meridian a longitude value that specifies the horizontal center of the projection,
Origin Latitude a latitude value that specifies the vertical center of the projection,
1st Standard Parallel a latitude value that specifies one of the two the parallels where the point scale factor is 1.0,
2nd Standard Parallel a latitude value that specifies one of the two the parallels where the point scale factor is 1.0,
False
Easting a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Easting/X
coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the
False Northing a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Northing/Y coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the Origin Latitude).
The two standard parallels cannot both be zero, and cannot be equal latitudes in opposite hemispheres, and this would cause the projection surface to become a cylinder.
Coordinates:
Easting/X the Easting/X coordinate value, in meters, and
Northing/Y the Northing/Y coordinate value, in meters.
The ranges of valid Albers Equal Area Conic easting and northing coordinates are between zero and 40,000,000m from the projection origin.
Azimuthal
Equidistant Projection
Parameters:
Central Meridian a longitude value that specifies the horizontal center of the projection,
Origin Latitude a latitude value that specifies the vertical center of the projection,
False
Easting a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Easting/X
coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the
False Northing a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Northing/Y coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the Origin Latitude).
Because the Azimuthal Equidistant projection is only defined for a sphere, GEOTRANS uses an authalic sphere, i.e., a sphere with the same surface area as the ellipsoid associated with the specified datum.
Coordinates:
Easting/X the Easting/X coordinate value, in meters, and
Northing/Y the Northing/Y coordinate value, in meters.
The range of valid Azimuthal Equidistant easting and northing coordinates depends on the ellipsoid parameters, but is roughly between zero and 20,000,000m from the projection origin.
Parameters:
Central Meridian a longitude value that specifies the horizontal center of the projection,
Origin Latitude a latitude value that specifies the vertical center of the projection,
False
Easting a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Easting/X
coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the
False Northing a coordinate value in meters that specifies the Northing/Y coordinate at the origin of the projection (i.e., the Origin Latitude).
Coordinates:

Presentation & Analysis
The project guidelines were relatively simple (as I recall). Recreate LMU Medien's website, so that it becomes responsive. And so I did just that and relied on my last design which was Velocity's Frequent Flyer Sign Up page.
The website is responsive, compact, works neatly, has some elements reshuffled and works best on mobile devices. I received full marks.


The event does not occur only in one city but across the world. The term ‘Global’ already depicts an event that has received recognition all across the world. The more than 130 cities across all continents involved are allowed to conduct the event in different ways but with one goal in mind; spreading awareness and a call to action for governments to protect the plight of the planet’s non-human species.
Elephants, rhinos, and lions top the list of wild animals on the verge of extinction. This is owed to human activities such as land encroachment leading to habitat loss, poaching, sports hunting among others. The unpredictable weather conditions leading to drought in Sub Saharan Africa and Flooding in the Asian continent, where these species are predominantly found, also reduces the number of individual species.
Not everyone may agree with protecting animal rights, more so in developing countries where we face various challenges. As populations continue to grow, people need to be fed.
In a world where there are those who believe hunting protects wildlife and does not cause harm in any way and that poached animals and plants goods provide luxury or medication, a lot of awareness needs to be done. Awareness at both the grassroots and urban levels
Elephants, rhinos, and lions are considered to be keystone species. Species that play a huge role in the ecosystem and losing them to extinction will cause a global ecosystem imbalance.
The March
At 8AM, we gather around museum hill at National Museums of Kenya to partake in THE GLOBAL MARCH FOR ELEPHANTS ,RHINOS AND LIONS. The turnout was spectacular, a large crowd of animal enthusiasts who were excited to take part in a very noble cause.
In the crowd were volunteers and participants from all over the country. The Cabinet Secretary,Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources,arrived later. It was an event graced by people from all walks of life with a common purpose.
Before we began the walk officially, we joined in the conservation song by SUSO and received welcoming remarks by Director General,National Museums of Kenya.
After a statement by the Cabinet Secretary,Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the march is flagged off and the procession began through uhuru highway, T-mall, and Lang’ata road eventually ending at KWS headquarters in Lang’ata.
The march was exciting with cheer songs and enchantments of animal justice being thrown here and there. The march pulled attention to the public at large engaging the general public in the noble cause, perhaps, having achieved its goal of awareness to the public at large.
Volunteers participating in the March
UNESCO youth forum-kenya(KNATCOM), Culture Committee members were also in attendance, very eager to take part in the march against injustices to our elephants, rhinos and lions. The hashtag #justice4wildlife being the main social media mark for this march and cause.
Finally at the arrival of the destination, we were thrilled to be invited to some entertainment and thereafter speeches and remarks made by ;
Representative from the youth (Tiassa Mutunkei)
CEO,Stand up shout out (SUSO)
Board of Director, WildlifeDirect
President,African Wildlife Foundation
Director General, Kenya wildlife service
Board of trustee, Kenya Wildlife Service
High commissioner,Botswana High commission
Ambassador,Embassy of the united states of america
County Government of Nairobi.
After the speeches people left at their own pleasure happy to be part of an amazing cause. It was an amazing day filled with people eager to fight for justice for wildlife

DOUBLE TEAM A film review by Michael Dequina Copyright 1997 Michael Dequina
Double Team (R) ** 1/2 Van Damme. Rodman. Rourke. Not the recipe for disaster it appears to be, thanks to Hong Kong action maestro Tsui Hark (Once Upon a Time in China), whose brisk, stylish, and inventive direction keeps Double Team moving fairly smoothly over some turbulent patches--but not smoothly enough. One such turbulent patch is the preposterous plot. Jean-Claude Van Damme plays Jack Quinn, a CIA operative who, after inadvertently causing the death of the son of terrorist Stavros (Mickey Rourke), is sentenced to a top-secret penal colony/think tank for dangerous agents. After a daring escape, Quinn hooks up with flamboyant arms dealer Yaz (Dennis Rodman) to go after Stavros. The star of Double Team is not Van Damme nor Rodman but the action, and Tsui, working with a number of HK luminaries such as Samo Hung, stage some wild and exciting set pieces. One early sequence that begins in an amusement park and ends in a hospital is more exciting and entertaining than the endings of Van Damme's last four films combined (make that the _entirety_ of those four films). Tsui reaches a delirious high with a manic hotel room fight with a Chinese assassin (Xi Xi Xiong, a vet of Tsui's Once Upon a Time series) who holds a knife with his toes, a scene that duplicates the outrageous exuberance of the best HK productions. But, as it stands, the great scenes are just that, good parts of a mediocre whole; the talent of the director is not quite enough to make up for the minimal ability exhibited by some of the other people working on the production. The line of the plot cooked up by Don Jakoby and Paul Mones is quite hokey, to say the least, and certain plot devices stretch credibility, even for an action film, most notably how the heroes survive the finale (oops, did I ruin it for some people?). Without giving the specifics away, it makes me wonder just how much a certain company paid for such a blatant--and, admittedly, creative--product placement. Even though Van Damme thankfully has little dialogue to work with, when he does speak, he is as wooden as ever. The big question here is whether or not hoopster Rodman can act, and after seeing the film, I'm not completely sure. He plays a variation of his own outrageous personality, which, naturally, he does well enough; time will tell if he can actually play a character. The problem with Rodman, however, is that he sticks out like a sore thumb throughout the picture; his involvement is obvious stunt casting--a bit too much so. Not helping matters at all are the numerous throwaway basketball references served up by the scripters; they just serve to take the audience out of the movie even more. Double Team is certainly one of Van Damme's best, but in light of his less-than-sterling body of work, that isn't saying a whole lot.

RTC support in embedded Linux box
by Wenwei Weng
Real Time Clock (RTC) is a small but important piece of hardware in an embedded Linux box. It saves time and keep time valid while box is in shutdown state. When the box boots again next time, it will provide a valid time to Linux system.
Real Time Clock in Linux
Two clocks are important in Linux system: a ‘hardware clock’, also known as RTC, CMOS or BIOS clock. This is the battery backed clock that keeps time even when the system is shut down. The second clock is called the ‘system clock’ or ‘kernel clock’ and is maintained by Linux OS. At boot time, the hardware clock is read and used to set the system clock. From that point onward the system clock is used to track time. Typically during the linux system shutdown process, Linux will flush its time into RTC to save it.
For many SoC, it has RTC embedded. However in my platform an external RTC is connected to SoC through I2C bus with typical address 0x68. This external RTC cnsumes less current than embedded one.
Check the two clocks
The simplest commands to check two clocks are: “date” and “hwclock”
As shown in the above command, there are two different clocks, and they can be synced using hwclock.
What need to be done ?
Linux kernel is able to support mutiple RTC devices in the same time. This can be checked by “ls -l /dev/rtc*” to see how many RTC devices are registered with Linux kernel.
What takes to make RTC devices work properly?
- Make sure hardware setup is in place, either connected through I2C, or SPI bus.
- Properly configured in device Tree file (DTS) to make it enabled. In my case, I need disable RTC inside SoC, and enable external RTC.
- Configure Linux kernel with proper driver, and tell linux kernel the correct RTC instance to use in order to save time. In the following example, DS1307 driver is enabled in kernel config, which will be the only RTC device rgistered in the system, so "rtc0" is set for system to sync to.
Check the box…
As it is shown from dmesg, external RTC is registered as “rtc0”, SoC RTC is not seen by kernel since it is disabled in DTS. Both clocks are synced.

This month my wife and I had our first little baby
- Eve Cogan. She only understands the basics so far, so this month
we're back to the basics - Specifications.
The first problem with specs is that nobody writes
them. Joel Spolsky says - "Writing specs is like flossing:
everybody agrees that it's a good thing, but nobody does it",
which is a pretty accurate metaphor.
The second problem is that when people do write
them, they spend months, listing every Use Case, Business Rule and
Process Flow Diagram. The danger is that the client spends lots
of money, and sees no real progress, or the requirements change,
and the process begins again and nothing ever happens. Sometimes
it's like throwing money down the drain. More...
Cheers
until next time,

Staying Positive¶
Unfortunately, there’s no trivial way of setting the spherical harmonic coefficients to ensure the map intensity is non-negative everywhere. One helpful thing to keep in mind is that the average intensity across the surface does not change when you modify the spherical harmonic coefficients. That’s because all spherical harmonics other than \(Y_{0,0}\) are perfectly anti-symmetric: for every bright region on the surface, there’s an equally dark region on the other side that cancels its contribution to the surface-integrated intensity. What this means is that the magnitude of the spherical harmonic coefficients controls the departure of the intensity from this mean value (which is equal to the intensity of the \(Y_{0,0}\) harmonic, \(\frac{1}{\pi}\)). One way to ensure the map is non-negative everywhere is therefore simply to limit the amplitude of all spherical harmonic coefficients to a small value.
Spherical harmonic maps¶
However, in some cases it might be useful to check in the general case whether or not a map is positive semi-definite. This entails running a nonlinear minimization on the intensity across the surface. For spherical harmonic maps, this is implemented in the minimize()
method. Let’s import starry
, instantiate a map, and take a look.
[3]:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import starry
starry.config.lazy = False
starry.config.quiet = True
Let’s set the coefficients randomly…
[4]:
map = starry.Map(ydeg=5)
np.random.seed(0)
map[1:, :] = 0.1 * np.random.randn(map.Ny - 1)
… and plot the map on a lat-lon grid:
[5]:
image = map.render(projection="rect")
plt.imshow(image, origin="lower", cmap="plasma", extent=(-180, 180, -90, 90))
plt.xlabel("longitude [deg]")
plt.ylabel("latitude [deg]")
plt.colorbar();
The map clearly goes negative in certain regions. If we call minimize()
, we can get the latitude, longitude, and value of the intensity at the minimum:
[7]:
%%time
lat, lon, value = map.minimize()
CPU times: user 10 ms, sys: 206 µs, total: 10.2 ms
Wall time: 8.11 ms
[8]:
print(lat, lon, value)
-10.635747688728141 -69.22458020850934 -0.20581082790763985
[9]:
plt.imshow(image, origin="lower", cmap="plasma", extent=(-180, 180, -90, 90))
plt.xlabel("longitude [deg]")
plt.ylabel("latitude [deg]")
plt.axvline(lon, color="k", ls="--")
plt.axhline(lat, color="k", ls="--")
plt.title("minimum: {0:.3f}".format(value))
plt.colorbar();
The method is fairly fast, so it could be used, for example, as a penalty when doing inference.
Limb-darkened maps¶
For limb-darkened maps, it’s a little easier to check whether the map is positive everywhere. Because the limb darkening profile is one-dimensional, we can use Sturm’s theorem to verify that
The intensity is non-negative everywhere
The intensity is monotonically decreasing toward the limb
Limb-darkened maps (or spherical harmonic maps with a limb darkening filter) implement the limbdark_is_physical
method, which checks whether both points are true. Note, importantly, that the second point is specific to limb darkening. In principle the specific intensity could get brighter toward the limb (as is the case at certain wavelengths for the Sun), so you wouldn’t want to use in those cases.
[10]:
map = starry.Map(udeg=4)
Let’s try this on a few limb-darkened maps:
[11]:
map[1:] = [0.5, 0.25, 0.5, 0.25]
[12]:
map.show()
Is it physical?
[13]:
map.limbdark_is_physical()
[13]:
False
No! Let’s plot the intensity as a function of \(\mu\) to see why:
[14]:
mu = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000)
plt.plot(mu, map.intensity(mu=mu))
plt.axhline(0, color="k", ls="--")
plt.gca().invert_xaxis()
plt.xlabel(r"$\mu$")
plt.ylabel("relative intensity");
The intensity is negative close to the limb.
Let’s try a different coefficient vector:
[15]:
map[1:] = [0.1, -2.0, 2.25, 0.5]
[16]:
map.show()
Is it physical?
[17]:
map.limbdark_is_physical()
[17]:
False
[18]:
mu = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000)
plt.plot(mu, map.intensity(mu=mu))
plt.axhline(0, color="k", ls="--")
plt.gca().invert_xaxis()
plt.xlabel(r"$\mu$")
plt.ylabel("relative intensity");
Even though it’s positive everywhere, it’s not monotonic!
One last example:
[19]:
map[1:] = [0.5, -0.1, 0.25, 0.25]
[20]:
map.show()
Is it physical?
[21]:
map.limbdark_is_physical()
[21]:
True
[22]:
mu = np.linspace(0, 1, 1000)
plt.plot(mu, map.intensity(mu=mu))
plt.axhline(0, color="k", ls="--")
plt.gca().invert_xaxis()
plt.xlabel(r"$\mu$")
plt.ylabel("relative intensity");
This one is both non-negative everywhere and monotonic, so it’s a physical limb darkening model.

Once upon a time there was a little fat comfortable grey squirrel, called Timmy Tiptoes. He had a nest thatched with leaves in the top of a tall tree; and he had a little squirrel wife called Goody.
Timmy Tiptoes sat out, enjoying the breeze; he whisked his tail and chuckled—“Little wife Goody, the nuts are ripe; we must lay up a store for winter and spring.” Goody Tiptoes was busy pushing moss under the thatch—“The nest is so snug, we shall be sound asleep all winter.”
“Then we shall wake up all the thinner, when there is nothing to eat in spring-time,” replied prudent Timothy.
When Timmy and Goody Tiptoes came to the nut thicket, they found other squirrels were there already.
Timmy took off his jacket and hung it on a twig; they worked away quietly by themselves.
Every day they made several journeys and picked quantities of nuts. They carried them away in bags, and stored them in several hollow stumps near the tree where they had built their nest.
When these stumps were full, they began to empty the bags into a hole high up a tree, that had belonged to a woodpecker; the nuts rattled down—down—down inside.
“How shall you ever get them out again? It is like a money box!” said Goody.
“I shall be much thinner before springtime, my love,” said Timmy Tiptoes, peeping into the hole.
They did collect quantities— because they did not lose them! Squirrels who bury their nuts in the ground lose more than half, because they cannot remember the place.
The most forgetful squirrel in the wood was called Silvertail. He began to dig, and he could not remember. And then he dug again and found some nuts that did not belong to him; and there was a fight. And other squirrels began to dig,—the whole wood was in commotion!
Unfortunately, just at this time a flock of little birds flew by, from bush to bush, searching for green caterpillars and spiders. There were several sorts of little birds, twittering different songs.
The first one sang—“Who’s been digging-up MY nuts? Who’s-been-digging-up MY nuts?”
And another sang—“Little bita bread and-NO-cheese! Little bit-a-bread an’-NO-cheese!”
The squirrels followed and listened. The first little bird flew into the bush where Timmy and Goody Tiptoes were quietly tying up their bags, and it sang—“Who’s-been digging-up MY nuts? Who’s been digging-up MY-nuts?”
Timmy Tiptoes went on with his work without replying; indeed, the little bird did not expect an answer. It was only singing its natural song, and it meant nothing at all.
But when the other squirrels heard that song, they rushed upon Timmy Tiptoes and cuffed and scratched him, and upset his bag of nuts. The innocent little bird which had caused all the mischief, flew away in a fright!
Timmy rolled over and over, and then turned tail and fled towards his nest, followed by a crowd of squirrels shouting— “Who’s-been digging-up MY-nuts?”
They caught him and dragged him up the very same tree, where there was the little round hole, and they pushed him in. The hole was much too small for Timmy Tiptoes’ figure. They squeezed him dreadfully, it was a wonder they did not break his ribs. “We will leave him here till he confesses,” said Silvertail Squirrel and he shouted into the hole—“Who’s-been-digging-up MY-nuts?”
Timmy Tiptoes made no reply; he had tumbled down inside the tree, upon half a peck of nuts belonging to himself. He lay quite stunned and still.
Goody Tiptoes picked up the nut bags and went home. She made a cup of tea for Timmy; but he didn’t come and didn’t come.
Goody Tiptoes passed a lonely and unhappy night. Next morning she ventured back to the nut bushes to look for him; but the other unkind squirrels drove her away.
She wandered all over the wood, calling—
“Timmy Tiptoes! Timmy Tip-toes! Oh, where is Timmy Tiptoes?”
In the meantime Timmy Tiptoes came to his senses. He found himself tucked up in a little moss bed, very much in the dark, feeling sore; it seemed to be underground. Timmy coughed and groaned, because his ribs hurt him. There was a chirpy noise, and a small striped Chipmunk appeared with a night light, and hoped he felt better?
It was most kind to Timmy Tiptoes; it lent him its nightcap; and the house was full of provisions.
The Chipmunk explained that it had rained nuts through the top of the tree—“Besides, I found a few buried!” It laughed and chuckled when it heard Timmy’s story. While Timmy was confined to bed, it ‘ticed him to eat quantities —“But how shall I ever get out through that hole unless I thin myself? My wife will be anxious!”
“Just another nut—or two nuts; let me crack them for you,” said the Chipmunk. Timmy Tiptoes grew fatter and fatter!
Now Goody Tiptoes had set to work again by herself. She did not put any more nuts into the woodpecker’s hole, because she had always doubted how they could be got out again. She hid them under a tree root; they rattled down, down, down. Once when Goody emptied an extra big bagful, there was a decided squeak; and next time Goody brought another bagful, a little striped Chipmunk scrambled out in a hurry.
“It is getting perfectly full-up downstairs; the sitting room is full, and they are rolling along the passage; and my husband, Chippy Hackee, has run away and left me. What is the explanation of these showers of nuts?”
“I am sure I beg your pardon; I did not know that anybody lived here,” said Mrs. Goody Tiptoes; “but where is Chippy Hackee? My husband, Timmy Tiptoes, has run away too.”
“I know where Chippy is; a little bird told me,” said Mrs. Chippy Hackee.
She led the way to the woodpecker’s tree, and they listened at the hole.

 “Yes, I could,” said the Chipmunk, “but my husband, Chippy Hackee, bites!”
Down below there was a noise of cracking nuts and nibbling; and then the fat squirrel voice and the thin squirrel voice sang—
“For the diddlum day
Day diddle durn di!
Day diddle diddle dum day!”
Then Goody peeped in at the hole, and called down—“Timmy Tiptoes! Oh fie, Timmy Tiptoes!” And Timmy replied, “Is that you, Goody Tiptoes? Why, certainly!”
He came up and kissed Goody through the hole; but he was so fat that he could not get out.
Chippy Hackee was not too fat, but he did not want to come; he stayed down below and chuckled.
And so it went on for a fort-night; till a big wind blew off the top of the tree, and opened up the hole and let in the rain.
Then Timmy Tiptoes came out, and went home with an umbrella.
But Chippy Hackee continued to camp out for another week, although it was uncomfortable.
At last a large bear came walking through the wood. Perhaps he also was looking for nuts; he seemed to be sniffing around.
Chippy Hackee went home in a hurry!
And when Chippy Hackee got home, he found he had caught a cold in his head; and he was more uncomfortable still.
And now Timmy and Goody Tiptoes keep their nut store fastened up with a little padlock.
And whenever that little bird sees the Chipmunks, he sings—“Who’s-been-digging-up MY-nuts? Who’s been dig-ging-up MY-nuts?” But nobody ever answers!

Concatenation, in the context of programming, is the operation of joining
two strings together. The term"concatenation" literally means to merge two
things together. Also known as string concatenation.
First let's define the variables used in examples:
const firstname = 'John';
const realage = 30;
Concatenatation - The old way
console.log('My name is ' + firstname + ' and I am ' + realage);
String concatenation - The new way
With string concatenation you can use back-ticks and dollar signs and
curly braces:
console.log(`My name is ${firstname} and I am ${realage}`)
Interpolation
Template strings support interpolation! This means you could write a
variable in your string, and get its value. The syntax is straightforward,
you simply wrap your variable name with a dollar sign and curly braces.
const hello = `My name is ${firstname} and I am ${realage}`
console.log(hello);
Remember that string interpolation only works with backticks. If you ever
try it and it doesn't work, double-check that you're using backticks
rather than single or double-quotes.
function sayHello(firstname){
return `Hello ${firstname}`;
}
//sample usage
console.log(sayHello("John"));
function getFullName(firstName, lastName){
return `${firstName} ${lastName}`;
}
//sample usage
console.log(getFullName("John", "Doe"));
Multiline Strings
function getMultilineString() {
//move "are so powerful!" to a new line in the same string
return `Template strings
are so powerful!`;
}
//sample usage
console.log(getMultilineString());
Capitalise words
Explanation
You can think about this challenge as 3 separate small challenges:
- Get the first character and uppercase it
- Get the rest of the string and lower case it
- Merge these 2 strings together (the first character & the rest
of the string)
function capitalize(word){
return word[0].toUpperCase() + word.substring(1).toLowerCase();
}
//sample usage
console.log(capitalize("john")); //John
console.log(capitalize("BRAVO")); //Bravo
console.log(capitalize("BLAne")); //Blane
