PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
It's one thing for an actor or an actress to pump out several films over a short period of time, but it's something else entirely when a director tries to tackle a similar task. And to have the films rank among the best of that period is a true testament to the director's talent.
In just over two years (twenty-five months, to be exact), director Steven Soderbergh has released Out of Sight, The Limey and his latest film, Erin Brockovich - a true story about a single mom that led the fight against a utility company which ultimately culminated in the largest settlement in a direct class-action lawsuit in U.S. history. Fans of Soderbergh, whose first film (Cannes winner sex, lies & videotape) is widely recognized as launching the renaissance of American independent film, may be surprised to see the director filming what appears to be a glossy Hollywood courtroom drama with a predictably linear story and a larger-than-life female star (Julia Roberts).
Although he's treading in all-too-familiar territory that isn't at all familiar to him, Soderbergh has crafted yet another winner with Brockovich, directing Roberts to her best performance yet. In fact, she's so good that it's a surprise that Universal didn't hold Brockovich's release until the end of the year – a season typically reserved for films competing for major year-end awards. Perhaps the studio couldn't help releasing the film on St. Patrick's Day, so that some crafty critic could whimsically declare `Go See Erin go-Brock-ovich.'
Roberts (Runaway Bride) stars as the titular Brockovich, a single L.A. mom with three kids, a roach-infested house, big hair, high heels, short skirts and low-cut tops. She has a beat-up Hyundai, empty cupboards, two deadbeat ex-husbands, no money, no job, no education and a wicked case of sass-mouth. The only thing this former Miss Wichita has going for her are her good looks and killer rack, but even they can't help Erin secure a settlement when she's broadsided by a doctor that runs a red light and creams her vehicle. With no insurance, Erin finds herself $17,000 in debt.
Desperate to find work, Erin turns to the attorney that handled her auto accident. She guilts Ed Masry (Albert Finney, Simpatico) into hiring her as a file clerk at his tiny, private law firm where, almost by chance, Erin stumbles onto a real estate file containing some ominous medical data concerning a giant utility company. Despite not knowing a lick about the law, Erin does some digging and finds out that Pacific Gas & Electric knowingly poisoned the water of a Mojave Desert burg called Hinkley.  The result is a battle between the $28 billion company and Roberts' $20 million smile (and who would you put your money on?).
As Erin's life becomes consumed by the Hinkley case, she begins to neglect her own family, leaning heavily on her new biker boyfriend George (a nearly unrecognizable Aaron Eckhart, Any Given Sunday). But she believes that the sacrifice is worth missing big chunks of her children's lives. For the first time, Erin feels like she is making a difference, befriending many of the Hinkley plaintiffs, including struggling mothers Marg Helgenberger (Species 2), Cherry Jones (Cradle Will Rock) and Mimi Kennedy (Dharma & Greg).
Soderbergh doesn't bog the film down with courtroom scenes, which makes the two-plus-hour film seem to fly by. The director used his brilliant cohorts - Sight editor Anne V. Coates and Limey cinematographer Edward Lachman - to film the Susannah Grant (Ever After) script, which, although extremely conventional, is well-written, fresh and often very funny. Some interesting casting – the real Brockovich plays a diner waitress in an early scene (her name tag says `Julia'), producer Michael Shamberg plays a PG&E lawyer, and Judge Leroy A. Simmons, the judge that handed down the 1993 decision that allowed the real-life suit to proceed, plays himself.

GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA A film review by Jim Mann Copyright 1993 Jim Mann
GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA (1964 version) Producer: Tomoyuki Tanak Director: Ishiro Honda Japanese title: Mosura tai Gojira Original US Title: Godzilla vs. the Thing
After having watched GODZILLA VS. BIOLANTE last week, I decided to go back and watch a *good* Godzilla-vs.-another-monster movie. So I pulled out my tape of GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA (a.k.a. GODZILLA VS. THE THING).
I should start by saying that I feel very nostalgic about this movie. It is one of the first movies that I ever got to see in a theatre by myself. More importantly (to me), it is the first film that I actually waited for. Ads showed up in the paper a week in advance. I looked at the ads (which stated "The face of the Thing is too horrible to show in this ad. You must go to the theatre to see it.") every day for a week, waiting for the Saturday matinee. I wasn't disappointed then, and I wasn't disappointed now.
GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA stands head and shoulders above the other battle of the monsters movies. It has a reasonable story line, is well paced and well directed, has good special effects, and a wonderful score (by Akira Ifukube).
The movie starts with the appearance of a giant egg in the waters off Japan. The egg, it turns out, is the egg of Mothra (a giant moth, who had appeared in the movie MOTHRA (1961)). Japanese industrialists decide to keep the egg and make money by charging admission. Meanwhile, Godzilla has resurfaced, and sets about laying waste to much of Japan. Japan's only hope is to appeal to Mothra for help. Mothra, though near death, comes to Japan, battles Godzilla to a standstill, but dies. However, the egg hatches, two caterpillars emerge, and battle and defeat Godzilla.
Why is this movie better than the others of its type? Well, for one thing, there is real tension built up. This happens in a number of ways. First of all, it is the only Godzilla movie in which the army actually seems to be on near equal footing with Godzilla. It isn't just Godzilla stomping the tanks. The tanks and planes have an effect, herding Godzilla toward a prepared trap: an artificial lightning setup. The lightning nearly defeats Godzilla, knocking him from his feet. Only when the impatient general orders the power to be turned up, thus overloading the generator, does Godzilla manage to break free. In the battles with Mothra (both mother and children), the monsters are on equal footing (unlike other movies when it is apparent from the start that Godzilla is going to stomp the other guy in the rubber suit).
Tension is built up in other ways: Godzilla threatens the giant egg, for example. Also, at the time of the final battle, Godzilla is threatening an island to which a number of school children have gone for a field trip. Thus, scenes of the battle are intercut with scenes of the heros going to the island to rescue the children.
The pacing and editing is also good. After about fifteen minutes of setup, the rest of the movie zips along, helped by good editing. As we head toward the climax, there are several cuts in which we flip back and forth between Godzilla heading toward the island where the climactic battle will take place and the Mothra egg, which is about to hatch. This contributes to the tension that I mentioned above.
The special effects are good. The scene of Godzilla destroying an oil refinery is one of the best of its type ever done. But what makes the effects in this movie good is more than just their technical quality: the effects are well directed. The battles between Godzilla and Mothra are not just random, unfocused wresting as is the case in so many of the other Godzilla-vs.-somebody movies. Other nice scenes include a panicking crowd fleeing the city; after about five seconds of crowd shots, the top of Godzilla appears over some buildings in the background.
Godzilla himself looks reasonable.  The eyes, often a real embarrassment in later movies, are reasonably well done.
The music is also nice, and is some of Ifukube's most memorable. He uses some of the themes from the original Godzilla, but changes them enough to make them distinctive.
Overall, this is a reasonably good movie. A juvenile, certainly, and not for everybody. But if you like monster movies but avoid the Godzilla movies as simply "championship wrestling in rubber suits," take a look at this. In the Godzilla series, only Godzilla is better.

Princess Diana’s iconic blue velvet gown to be auctioned
This is the same dress Princess Diana had worn when she danced with John Travolta at the White House.
by Lifestyle DeskThe iconic blue velvet Victor Edelstein gown that belonged to Princess Diana is up for auction. According to a report in The Daily Mail, the timeless outfit will be up for sale for £350,000 (₹3,24,28,732). This is the same dress the late Princess of Wales wore when she danced with Hollywood actor John Travolta at the White House.
The same report states that Princess Diana wore it at four important events, the first time during a state visit to Austria in 1986 and later at a night out to the Royal Opera House in 1991. For her portrait by Lord Snowden in 1997, she was seen wearing the same dress. Two months before her death, in June 1997, she auctioned it to raise funds. It was sold off for £100,000 (₹ 92,72,900) to Maureen Dunkel, a businesswoman based out of Florida, who kept it with her till 2011 when she went bankrupt.
In 2013, it was sold to a British gentleman for £240,000 (₹ 2,22,57,149).
‘This is arguably her most iconic gown, the photos of her being twirled around the dance floor by a handsome John Travolta at the White House caused a sensation at the time, and are still memorable today. Royal protocol required her to dress very demurely; however, this gown is very evocative of ‘old Hollywood glamour’, quite low-cut and falling off the shoulders. It was a bold and mature choice for such a young princess, and she wowed everyone on the night. The estimate reflects Diana’s enduring appeal to private collectors and museums internationally,” Lucy Bishop, of Kerry Taylor Auctions said.
The sale will take place on December 9.

A Restricted Shell... What Is It?
It limits a user's ability and only allows them to perform a subset of system commands. Typically, a combination of some or all of the following restrictions are imposed by a restricted shell:
Using the 'cd' command to change directories.
Setting or unsetting certain environment variables (i.e. SHELL, PATH, etc...).
Specifying command names that contain slashes.
Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '.' built-in command.
Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the '-p' option to the 'hash' built-in command.
Importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup.
Parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup.
Redirecting output using the '>', '>|', ", '>&', '&>', and '>>' redirection operators.
Using the 'exec' built-in to replace the shell with another command.
Adding or deleting built-in commands with the '-f' and '-d' options to the enable built-in.
Using the 'enable' built-in command to enable disabled shell built-ins.
Specifying the '-p' option to the 'command' built-in.
Turning off restricted mode with 'set +r' or 'set +o restricted'.
Since business needs override security a good portion of the time, it's possible that some of the above restrictions are relaxed. So do not assume that these restrictions are set in stone. I suggest you QC the quality of the restricted shell.
Types of restricted shells
"Real" shell implementations, eg
rbash
rsh
rksh
Implementation of shells in <scripting language>, eg
Python(lshell)
A restricted shell behaves identically to bash with the exception that the following are disallowed or not performed:
- Changing directories with the cd builtin.
- Setting or unsetting the values of the SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV variables.
- Specifying command names containing slashes.
- Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the . builtin command.
- Specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command.
- Importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup.
- Parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup.
- Redirecting output using the ‘>’, ‘>|’, ‘<>’, ‘>&’, ‘&>’, and ‘>>’ redirection operators.
- Using the exec builtin to replace the shell with another command.
- Adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin.
- Using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins.
- Specifying the -p option to the command builtin.
- Turning off restricted mode with ‘set +r’ or ‘set +o restricted’.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.

I host this site using an open-source ruby project called Jekyll. From the project’s readme:
Jekyll is a simple, blog aware, static site generator. It takes a template directory […] and spits out a complete, static website suitable for serving with Apache or your favorite web server. This is also the engine behind GitHub Pages, which you can use to host your project’s page or blog right here from GitHub.
Static Site generator?
“Static site generator” means that rather than having server-side code (like ruby or PHP) dynamically create html and serve up database records based on user (HTTP) requests, Jekyll will use the code you give it to create a website that’s pure html, css and javascript. What you end up deploying will be a static site, meaning it runs no server-side code at all. No database either. All the posts you write are just markdown files that Jekyll will compile into the finished static stie.
Why not just use wordpress?
So what advantages does this setup have over a traditional database-backed setup like Wordpress? For me the difference comes down to simplicity.  You can keep your whole blog in a git repo and never have to setup a database. Deployment is literally just git push
. If you’re on a different machine you just need to clone the repo and you have the same site.
For me personally the whole “my posts are just markdown files” thing is the biggest advantage. I find that it’s much easier to focus on writing when I’m not in a browser. I don’t need to have internet to write or edit posts. I get to use vim. That might have been enough by itself.
Also markdown is a great format to write in. It’s the perfect way to let you create the formatting you need to while getting out of your way. In general, I’m moving more towards keeping everything I write in text files (sorry evernote). The fact that I can easily just open a new tab in vim and jot down some notes that could later be turned into a blog post is huge.
I’ve been having a blast blogging with Jekyll; I highly recommend it. I also recommend checking out Jekyll Themes a repository of free themes for use with Jekyll. They’re really easy to get started with. If you have any trouble hit me up via email or twitter.


One place where you could make this even simpler is by using enums (http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Enum.html)
for the roles. That way, admin? just works out of the box. Depending on how dogmatically
you want to keep concerns separated, you could eliminate the whole Roles controller too, if you wanted.
You say about can :manage, :all: “In the above example we are permitting the admin
to perform any CRUD action on any resource within our app and restricting all other users to just being
able to read.”
From CanCanCan’s “Defining Abilities” wiki page:
“Important notice about :manage. As you read above it represents ANY action on the object.”
Thus, it’s not true to say that can :manage :all represents only CRUD actions. If
you want to allow access to only CRUD actions, you need a custom alias like:
alias_action :create, :read, :update, :destroy, to: :crud
I will have a look at enums – I hadn’t thought of using them.
Regarding your second point, I think I just worded it badly. I didn’t mean to imply that the
admin is restricted to performing CRUD actions, rather, of the available CRUD actions, he or she
can perform all of them.
I don’t mind changing the text if you can think of a way to say that better.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
git clone https://github.com/hibbard-eu/authentication-with-devise-and-cancancan.git
cd authentication-with-devise-and-cancancan/
bundle
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rails s
And everything worked as expected.
I wouldn’t have thought that there was anything Rails 4 or Ruby 2.2 specific in there, but
might it be worth checking your versions?

Hello, I found your tutorial very useful. I’ve just a problem: when I type localhost:3000 I get
an error page with the following message: “Template is missing
Missing template welcome/index”, even if I’ve added the page
/app/views/welcome/index.html.rb, and the routes.rb file like this:
authenticated :user do
root :to => 'items#index', as: :authenticated_root
end
root :to => 'welcome#index'
Thanks for a great tutorial. Instead of a store I want to build a multiuser blog. Do I just change
items to posts. How do I use this tutorial to achieve my aim. Thanks
I’m afraid it’ll be slightly more complicated than that.
Maybe try reading one of the numerous Rails blog tutorials available
online, then use Devise & cancancan to implement the authentication/authorization.
guest = User.new
guest.role = Role.new
guest.role.name = "Regular"
user ||= guest # Guest user
in place of:
user = User.new
in the Ability class and its working now
Also, to migrate it from sqlite to any other database just change migration order as->
role, user, item by changing time stamp in migration files name.
otherwise undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass error will occur
2). use scaffolding in order as
rails g scaffold role name:string description:string
rails g scaffold user name:string role:belongs_to
rails g scaffold item name:string description:text 'price:decimal{5,2}', user:belongs_to
Hi! Very nice article! I think I found a little bug. I logged in with the user Kev, then I cancel the
account, and then log in with sally and the items index crash with the error: undefined method
`name’ for nil:NilClass
I think that the problem is related with the products of the cancelled user.
Hi again! So many thanks for your reply.
I tried to execute the tests but so many of them cause errors. I was able to solve many of them, but
not all of them.
Someone has been able to solve the “ActionView::Template::Error: ActionView::Template::Error:
undefined method `name’ for nil:NilClass” in the “should get index” test of the
items_controller_test.rb ?
If you run rake test at this point, they will all pass bar should create
user in UsersControllerTest
Here’s how we make that work:
test "should create user" do
assert_difference('User.count') do
post :create, user: {
name: @user.name,
role_id: @user.role_id,
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>password: "11111111",
password_confirmation: "11111111"
}
end
assert_redirected_to user_path(assigns(:user))
end
I was able to confirm that it works this tutorial.
Thank you from Japan

Nice article. I found a small issue: you scaffold the User before the Role, which on my machine throws an error when migrating (my default DB is PG).
Thank you for pointing that out.
Did you find a solution to the problem?
I’m unable to reproduce the error (using SQLite), but I would be happy to update the article if you have a workaround.
I get the following error when I go through the tutorial and also when I clone the github repository.
The line is:
self.role.name == "Admin"
Has anybody encountered this error?
Sorry to hear that you are having problems.
I just checked everything is working. I ran:
And everything worked as expected.
I wouldn’t have thought that there was anything Rails 4 or Ruby 2.2 specific in there, but might it be worth checking your versions?
Otherwise, if there’s anything else I can do to help, just let me know.
I found same error.
Did you follow Jorge’s comments (below)?
Thank you, admin!
I followed your steps to clone the project and it works as expected.
The problem I had was caused by not running the
rake db:seed
command. If I ommit that, whenever I try to sign up the app throws the error.Thank you so much for your help!
Jorge
Glad you got things working!
Thanks for taking the time to follow up.
Thank you!
I am having another problem. When I try to add a new item as admin I get the following error when I hit the update button:
Are you able to save items?
Thank you!
Jorge
Oops, no, this was a bug. The User association isn’t being saved when the Item is saved.
You can solve this by adding the following to the top of the create action in the ItemsController:
I’ll update the article to refelct this.
Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to supply your solution.
you forgot to tell some instructions such as->
1). always use authentication and authorization in order as
otherwise
undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass
error will occur2). use scaffolding in order as
otherwise database migration fail
thank’s a lot for article, I glad and successfully . .yeah
heyy satish you cool dude
Hi! Very nice article! I think I found a little bug. I logged in with the user Kev, then I cancel the account, and then log in with sally and the items index crash with the error: undefined method `name’ for nil:NilClass
I think that the problem is related with the products of the cancelled user.
Hi,
You are quite right. When a user is deleted, the items they have been created should be removed from the database, too.
You can do this by changing the following line in
app/models/user.rb
:to:
I updated the repo.
Hi again! So many thanks for your reply.
I tried to execute the tests but so many of them cause errors. I was able to solve many of them, but not all of them.
Someone has been able to solve the “ActionView::Template::Error: ActionView::Template::Error: undefined method `name’ for nil:NilClass” in the “should get index” test of the items_controller_test.rb ?
Thanks so much!
Hi there,
Not sure how much sense the tests actually make (they were just the standard ones produced by the
scaffold
generator).That said, here’s how you would make all tests pass:
In
test_helper.rb
add the following to the bottom of the file:In the controller tests we now have access to Devise’s
sign_in
method.In
RolesControllerTest
,ItemsControllerTest
andUsersControllerTest
add the following line to the top of the setup block:Now we need to update the fixtures:
roles.yml
:users.yml
:items.yml
:If you run
rake test
at this point, they will all pass barshould create user
inUsersControllerTest
Here’s how we make that work:
HTH. I updated the repo with these changes.
this:
is this:
you only write the extension html but it is rb
Thanks for taking the time to point that out, Carlos.
Fixed.
Hi Admin,
before_filter
is deprecated in version>2.6.8, it has been replaced bybefore_action
. It is only a information. But your code works fine. : )I trying to show “item#index” for no logged users, I try to use:
But it crash on ability verification.
I add in ability a if:
But it no sound good for me. Is it correct? or is it a bad smell?
I would have thought
would have worked. How is it crashing?
This works… Fantastic job !!!

This very page loads couple of AMD Modules example. Check out the console to see the logs and the loading process of modules.
To use DefineJS in your JavaScript code, you could simply add it as a script tag.
<script src="define.js"></script>
Then you should call the fixDefine function to expose the amd modules functions to your desired global object.
fixDefine(myGlobal);
The easier approach is to pass your desired global object to the global attribute of the script tag:
<script gloabl="myGlobal" src="define.js"></script>
Now you can define and require your modules like:
myGlobal.define([/*'dependency'*/], function(/*dependency*/]){
function moduleFunction(){
//...
}
return moduleFunction;
});
myGlobal.require([/*'moduleName'*/], function(/*moduleName*/]){
});
To use AMD module definition functions(define and require) like what you have seen so far, as global functions, you could simply add the script tag like:
<script gloabl="window" src="define.js"></script>
Then it could load any standard amd modules in your page.
Other than regular AMD module pattern, DefineJS also offers couple of nonstandard but usefull modular coding patterns.

Scene I
A hall in LEONATO'S house.
LEONATO
[Enter LEONATO, ANTONIO, HERO, BEATRICE, and others]
Was not Count John here at supper?
BEATRICE
How tartly that gentleman looks! I never can see
him but I am heart-burned an hour after.
HERO
He is of a very melancholy disposition.
BEATRICE
He were an excellent man that were made just in the
midway between him and Benedick: the one is too
like an image and says nothing, and the other too
like my lady's eldest son, evermore tattling.
LEONATO
Then half Signior Benedick's tongue in Count John's
mouth, and half Count John's melancholy in Signior
Benedick's face,--
BEATRICE
With a good leg and a good foot, uncle, and money
enough in his purse, such a man would win any woman
in the world, if a' could get her good-will.
LEONATO
By my troth, niece, thou wilt never get thee a
husband, if thou be so shrewd of thy tongue.
ANTONIO
In faith, she's too curst.
BEATRICE
Too curst is more than curst: I shall lessen God's
sending that way; for it is said, 'God sends a curst
cow short horns;' but to a cow too curst he sends none.

BEATRICE
Just, if he send me no husband; for the which
blessing I am at him upon my knees every morning and
evening. Lord, I could not endure a husband with a
beard on his face: I had rather lie in the woollen.
LEONATO
You may light on a husband that hath no beard.
BEATRICE
What should I do with him? dress him in my apparel
and make him my waiting-gentlewoman? He that hath a
beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no
beard is less than a man: and he that is more than
a youth is not for me, and he that is less than a
man, I am not for him: therefore, I will even take
sixpence in earnest of the bear-ward, and lead his
apes into hell.
LEONATO
Well, then, go you into hell?
BEATRICE
No, but to the gate; and there will the devil meet
me, like an old cuckold, with horns on his head, and
say 'Get you to heaven, Beatrice, get you to
heaven; here's no place for you maids:' so deliver
I up my apes, and away to Saint Peter for the
heavens; he shows me where the bachelors sit, and
there live we as merry as the day is long.
ANTONIO
[To HERO] Well, niece, I trust you will be ruled
by your father.
BEATRICE
Yes, faith; it is my cousin's duty to make curtsy
and say 'Father, as it please you.' But yet for all
that, cousin, let him be a handsome fellow, or else
make another curtsy and say 'Father, as it please
me.'
LEONATO
Well, niece, I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband.
BEATRICE
Not till God make men of some other metal than
earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be
overmastered with a pierce of valiant dust? to make
an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl?
No, uncle, I'll none: Adam's sons are my brethren;
and, truly, I hold it a sin to match in my kindred.
LEONATO
Daughter, remember what I told you: if the prince
do solicit you in that kind, you know your answer.
BEATRICE
The fault will be in the music, cousin, if you be
not wooed in good time: if the prince be too
important, tell him there is measure in every thing
and so dance out the answer. For, hear me, Hero:
wooing, wedding, and repenting, is as a Scotch jig,
a measure, and a cinque pace: the first suit is hot
and hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as
fantastical; the wedding, mannerly-modest, as a
measure, full of state and ancientry; and then comes
repentance and, with his bad legs, falls into the
cinque pace faster and faster, till he sink into his grave.
LEONATO
Cousin, you apprehend passing shrewdly.
BEATRICE
I have a good eye, uncle; I can see a church by daylight.
LEONATO
The revellers are entering, brother: make good room.
[All put on their masks]
Enter DON PEDRO, CLAUDIO, BENEDICK, BALTHASAR,
DON JOHN, BORACHIO, MARGARET, URSULA and others, masked
DON PEDRO
Lady, will you walk about with your friend?
HERO
So you walk softly and look sweetly and say nothing,
I am yours for the walk; and especially when I walk away.
DON PEDRO
With me in your company?
HERO
I may say so, when I please.
DON PEDRO
And when please you to say so?
HERO
When I like your favour; for God defend the lute
should be like the case!
DON PEDRO
My visor is Philemon's roof; within the house is Jove.
HERO
Why, then, your visor should be thatched.
DON PEDRO
Speak low, if you speak love.
[Drawing her aside]
BALTHASAR
Well, I would you did like me.
MARGARET
So would not I, for your own sake; for I have many
ill-qualities.
MARGARET
I say my prayers aloud.
BALTHASAR
I love you the better: the hearers may cry, Amen.
MARGARET
God match me with a good dancer!
MARGARET
And God keep him out of my sight when the dance is
done! Answer, clerk.
BALTHASAR
No more words: the clerk is answered.
URSULA
I know you well enough; you are Signior Antonio.
ANTONIO
At a word, I am not.

ANTONIO
To tell you true, I counterfeit him.
URSULA
You could never do him so ill-well, unless you were
the very man. Here's his dry hand up and down: you
are he, you are he.
ANTONIO
At a word, I am not.
URSULA
Come, come, do you think I do not know you by your
excellent wit? can virtue hide itself?

BENEDICK
No, you shall pardon me.

BEATRICE
That I was disdainful, and that I had my good wit
out of the 'Hundred Merry Tales:'--well this was
Signior Benedick that said so.
BEATRICE
I am sure you know him well enough.
BENEDICK
Not I, believe me.
BEATRICE
Did he never make you laugh?
BENEDICK
I pray you, what is he?
BEATRICE
Why, he is the prince's jester: a very dull fool;
only his gift is in devising impossible slanders:
none but libertines delight in him; and the
commendation is not in his wit, but in his villany;
for he both pleases men and angers them, and then
they laugh at him and beat him. I am sure he is in
the fleet: I would he had boarded me.
BENEDICK
When I know the gentleman, I'll tell him what you say.

[Music]
We must follow the leaders.
BENEDICK
In every good thing.
BEATRICE
Nay, if they lead to any ill, I will leave them at
the next turning.
Dance. Then exeunt all except DON JOHN, BORACHIO,
and CLAUDIO
DON JOHN
Sure my brother is amorous on Hero and hath
withdrawn her father to break with him about it.
The ladies follow her and but one visor remains.
BORACHIO
And that is Claudio: I know him by his bearing.
DON JOHN
Are not you Signior Benedick?
CLAUDIO
You know me well; I am he.
DON JOHN
Signior, you are very near my brother in his love:
he is enamoured on Hero; I pray you, dissuade him
from her: she is no equal for his birth: you may
do the part of an honest man in it.
CLAUDIO
How know you he loves her?
DON JOHN
I heard him swear his affection.
BORACHIO
So did I too; and he swore he would marry her to-night.
DON JOHN
Come, let us to the banquet.
[Exeunt DON JOHN and BORACHIO]
CLAUDIO
Thus answer I in the name of Benedick,
But hear these ill news with the ears of Claudio.
'Tis certain so; the prince wooes for himself.
Friendship is constant in all other things
Save in the office and affairs of love:
Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues;
Let every eye negotiate for itself
And trust no agent; for beauty is a witch
Against whose charms faith melteth into blood.
This is an accident of hourly proof,
Which I mistrusted not. Farewell, therefore, Hero!
[Re-enter BENEDICK]
BENEDICK
Come, will you go with me?
BENEDICK
Even to the next willow, about your own business,
county. What fashion will you wear the garland of?
about your neck, like an usurer's chain? or under
your arm, like a lieutenant's scarf? You must wear
it one way, for the prince hath got your Hero.
CLAUDIO
I wish him joy of her.
BENEDICK
Why, that's spoken like an honest drovier: so they
sell bullocks. But did you think the prince would
have served you thus?
CLAUDIO
I pray you, leave me.

CLAUDIO
If it will not be, I'll leave you.
[Exit]
BENEDICK
Alas, poor hurt fowl! now will he creep into sedges.
But that my Lady Beatrice should know me, and not
know me! The prince's fool! Ha? It may be I go
under that title because I am merry. Yea, but so I
am apt to do myself wrong; I am not so reputed: it
is the base, though bitter, disposition of Beatrice
that puts the world into her person and so gives me
out. Well, I'll be revenged as I may.
[Re-enter DON PEDRO]
DON PEDRO
Now, signior, where's the count? did you see him?
BENEDICK
Troth, my lord, I have played the part of Lady Fame.
I found him here as melancholy as a lodge in a
warren: I told him, and I think I told him true,
that your grace had got the good will of this young
lady; and I offered him my company to a willow-tree,
either to make him a garland, as being forsaken, or
to bind him up a rod, as being worthy to be whipped.
DON PEDRO
To be whipped! What's his fault?
BENEDICK
The flat transgression of a schoolboy, who, being
overjoyed with finding a birds' nest, shows it his
companion, and he steals it.
DON PEDRO
Wilt thou make a trust a transgression? The
transgression is in the stealer.
BENEDICK
Yet it had not been amiss the rod had been made,
and the garland too; for the garland he might have
worn himself, and the rod he might have bestowed on
you, who, as I take it, have stolen his birds' nest.
DON PEDRO
I will but teach them to sing, and restore them to
the owner.
BENEDICK
If their singing answer your saying, by my faith,
you say honestly.
DON PEDRO
The Lady Beatrice hath a quarrel to you: the
gentleman that danced with her told her she is much
wronged by you.
BENEDICK
O, she misused me past the endurance of a block!
an oak but with one green leaf on it would have
answered her; my very visor began to assume life and
scold with her. She told me, not thinking I had been
myself, that I was the prince's jester, that I was
duller than a great thaw; huddling jest upon jest
with such impossible conveyance upon me that I stood
like a man at a mark, with a whole army shooting at
me. She speaks poniards, and every word stabs:
if her breath were as terrible as her terminations,
there were no living near her; she would infect to
the north star. I would not marry her, though she
were endowed with all that Adam bad left him before
he transgressed: she would have made Hercules have
turned spit, yea, and have cleft his club to make
the fire too. Come, talk not of her: you shall find
her the infernal Ate in good apparel.
DON PEDRO
Look, here she comes.
[Enter CLAUDIO, BEATRICE, HERO, and LEONATO]
BENEDICK
Will your grace command me any service to the
world's end? I will go on the slightest errand now
to the Antipodes that you can devise to send me on;
I will fetch you a tooth-picker now from the
furthest inch of Asia, bring you the length of
Prester John's foot, fetch you a hair off the great
Cham's beard, do you any embassage to the Pigmies,
rather than hold three words' conference with this
harpy. You have no employment for me?
DON PEDRO
None, but to desire your good company.
BENEDICK
O God, sir, here's a dish I love not: I cannot
endure my Lady Tongue.
[Exit]
DON PEDRO
Come, lady, come; you have lost the heart of
Signior Benedick.
BEATRICE
Indeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile; and I gave
him use for it, a double heart for his single one:
marry, once before he won it of me with false dice,
therefore your grace may well say I have lost it.
DON PEDRO
You have put him down, lady, you have put him down.
BEATRICE
So I would not he should do me, my lord, lest I
should prove the mother of fools. I have brought
Count Claudio, whom you sent me to seek.
DON PEDRO
Why, how now, count! wherefore are you sad?
CLAUDIO
Not sad, my lord.
DON PEDRO
How then? sick?
CLAUDIO
Neither, my lord.
BEATRICE
The count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor
well; but civil count, civil as an orange, and
something of that jealous complexion.
DON PEDRO
I' faith, lady, I think your blazon to be true;
though, I'll be sworn, if he be so, his conceit is
false. Here, Claudio, I have wooed in thy name, and
fair Hero is won: I have broke with her father,
and his good will obtained: name the day of
marriage, and God give thee joy!
LEONATO
Count, take of me my daughter, and with her my
fortunes: his grace hath made the match, and an
grace say Amen to it.
BEATRICE
Speak, count, 'tis your cue.
CLAUDIO
Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were
but little happy, if I could say how much. Lady, as
you are mine, I am yours: I give away myself for
you and dote upon the exchange.
BEATRICE
Speak, cousin; or, if you cannot, stop his mouth
with a kiss, and let not him speak neither.
DON PEDRO
In faith, lady, you have a merry heart.
BEATRICE
Yea, my lord; I thank it, poor fool, it keeps on
the windy side of care.
CLAUDIO
And so she doth, cousin.
BEATRICE
Good Lord, for alliance! Thus goes every one to the
world but I, and I am sunburnt; I may sit in a
corner and cry heigh-ho for a husband!
DON PEDRO
Lady Beatrice, I will get you one.
BEATRICE
I would rather have one of your father's getting.
Hath your grace ne'er a brother like you? Your
father got excellent husbands, if a maid could come by them.
DON PEDRO
Will you have me, lady?
BEATRICE
No, my lord, unless I might have another for
working-days: your grace is too costly to wear
every day. But, I beseech your grace, pardon me: I
was born to speak all mirth and no matter.
DON PEDRO
Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best
becomes you; for, out of question, you were born in
a merry hour.
BEATRICE
No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there
was a star danced, and under that was I born.
Cousins, God give you joy!
LEONATO
Niece, will you look to those things I told you of?
BEATRICE
I cry you mercy, uncle. By your grace's pardon.
[Exit]
DON PEDRO
By my troth, a pleasant-spirited lady.
LEONATO
There's little of the melancholy element in her, my
lord: she is never sad but when she sleeps, and
not ever sad then; for I have heard my daughter say,
she hath often dreamed of unhappiness and waked
herself with laughing.
DON PEDRO
She cannot endure to hear tell of a husband.
LEONATO
O, by no means: she mocks all her wooers out of suit.
DON PEDRO
She were an excellent wife for Benedict.
LEONATO
O Lord, my lord, if they were but a week married,
they would talk themselves mad.
DON PEDRO
County Claudio, when mean you to go to church?
CLAUDIO
To-morrow, my lord: time goes on crutches till love
have all his rites.
LEONATO
Not till Monday, my dear son, which is hence a just
seven-night; and a time too brief, too, to have all
things answer my mind.
DON PEDRO
Come, you shake the head at so long a breathing:
but, I warrant thee, Claudio, the time shall not go
dully by us. I will in the interim undertake one of
Hercules' labours; which is, to bring Signior
Benedick and the Lady Beatrice into a mountain of
affection the one with the other. I would fain have
it a match, and I doubt not but to fashion it, if
you three will but minister such assistance as I
shall give you direction.
LEONATO
My lord, I am for you, though it cost me ten
nights' watchings.
DON PEDRO
And you too, gentle Hero?
HERO
I will do any modest office, my lord, to help my
cousin to a good husband.
DON PEDRO
And Benedick is not the unhopefullest husband that
I know. Thus far can I praise him; he is of a noble
strain, of approved valour and confirmed honesty. I
will teach you how to humour your cousin, that she
shall fall in love with Benedick; and I, with your
two helps, will so practise on Benedick that, in
despite of his quick wit and his queasy stomach, he
shall fall in love with Beatrice. If we can do this,
Cupid is no longer an archer: his glory shall be
ours, for we are the only love-gods.
[Exeunt]
Scene III
LEONATO'S orchard.
BENEDICK
Boy!

Boy
I am here already, sir.
BENEDICK
I know that; but I would have thee hence, and here again.
[Exit Boy]
I do much wonder that one man, seeing how much
another man is a fool when he dedicates his
behaviors to love, will, after he hath laughed at
such shallow follies in others, become the argument
of his own scorn by failing in love: and such a man
is Claudio. I have known when there was no music
with him but the drum and the fife; and now had he
rather hear the tabour and the pipe: I have known
when he would have walked ten mile a-foot to see a
good armour; and now will he lie ten nights awake,
carving the fashion of a new doublet. He was wont to
speak plain and to the purpose, like an honest man
and a soldier; and now is he turned orthography; his
words are a very fantastical banquet, just so many
strange dishes. May I be so converted and see with
these eyes? I cannot tell; I think not: I will not
be sworn, but love may transform me to an oyster; but
I'll take my oath on it, till he have made an oyster
of me, he shall never make me such a fool. One woman
is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am
well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all
graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in
my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise,
or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her;
fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not
near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good
discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall
be of what colour it please God. Ha! the prince and
Monsieur Love! I will hide me in the arbour.
[Withdraws]
[Enter DON PEDRO, CLAUDIO, and LEONATO]
DON PEDRO
Come, shall we hear this music?
CLAUDIO
Yea, my good lord. How still the evening is,
As hush'd on purpose to grace harmony!
DON PEDRO
See you where Benedick hath hid himself?
CLAUDIO
O, very well, my lord: the music ended,
We'll fit the kid-fox with a pennyworth.
[Enter BALTHASAR with Music]
DON PEDRO
Come, Balthasar, we'll hear that song again.
BALTHASAR
O, good my lord, tax not so bad a voice
To slander music any more than once.
DON PEDRO
It is the witness still of excellency
To put a strange face on his own perfection.
I pray thee, sing, and let me woo no more.
BALTHASAR
Because you talk of wooing, I will sing;
Since many a wooer doth commence his suit
To her he thinks not worthy, yet he wooes,
Yet will he swear he loves.
DON PEDRO
Now, pray thee, come;
Or, if thou wilt hold longer argument,
Do it in notes.
BALTHASAR
Note this before my notes;
There's not a note of mine that's worth the noting.
DON PEDRO
Why, these are very crotchets that he speaks;
Note, notes, forsooth, and nothing.
[Air]
BENEDICK
Now, divine air! now is his soul ravished! Is it
not strange that sheeps' guts should hale souls out
of men's bodies? Well, a horn for my money, when
all's done.
[The Song]
BALTHASAR
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
Sing no more ditties, sing no moe,
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leafy:
Then sigh not so, &c.
DON PEDRO
By my troth, a good song.
BALTHASAR
And an ill singer, my lord.
DON PEDRO
Ha, no, no, faith; thou singest well enough for a shift.
 I had as lief have heard the
night-raven, come what plague could have come after
it.
DON PEDRO
Yea, marry, dost thou hear, Balthasar? I pray thee,
get us some excellent music; for to-morrow night we
would have it at the Lady Hero's chamber-window.
BALTHASAR
The best I can, my lord.
DON PEDRO
Do so: farewell.
[Exit BALTHASAR]
Come hither, Leonato. What was it you told me of
to-day, that your niece Beatrice was in love with
Signior Benedick?
CLAUDIO
O, ay: stalk on. stalk on; the fowl sits. I did
never think that lady would have loved any man.
LEONATO
No, nor I neither; but most wonderful that she
should so dote on Signior Benedick, whom she hath in
all outward behaviors seemed ever to abhor.
BENEDICK
Is't possible? Sits the wind in that corner?
LEONATO
By my troth, my lord, I cannot tell what to think
of it but that she loves him with an enraged
affection: it is past the infinite of thought.
DON PEDRO
May be she doth but counterfeit.
CLAUDIO
Faith, like enough.
LEONATO
O God, counterfeit! There was never counterfeit of
passion came so near the life of passion as she
discovers it.
DON PEDRO
Why, what effects of passion shows she?
CLAUDIO
Bait the hook well; this fish will bite.
LEONATO
What effects, my lord?
DON PEDRO
How, how, pray you? You amaze me: I would have I
thought her spirit had been invincible against all
assaults of affection.
LEONATO
I would have sworn it had, my lord; especially
against Benedick.
BENEDICK
I should think this a gull, but that the
white-bearded fellow speaks it: knavery cannot,
sure, hide himself in such reverence.
CLAUDIO
He hath ta'en the infection: hold it up.
DON PEDRO
Hath she made her affection known to Benedick?
LEONATO
No; and swears she never will: that's her torment.
CLAUDIO
'Tis true, indeed; so your daughter says: 'Shall
I,' says she, 'that have so oft encountered him
with scorn, write to him that I love him?'
LEONATO
This says she now when she is beginning to write to
him; for she'll be up twenty times a night, and
there will she sit in her smock till she have writ a
sheet of paper: my daughter tells us all.
CLAUDIO
Now you talk of a sheet of paper, I remember a
pretty jest your daughter told us of.
LEONATO
O, when she had writ it and was reading it over, she
found Benedick and Beatrice between the sheet?
LEONATO
O, she tore the letter into a thousand halfpence;
railed at herself, that she should be so immodest
to write to one that she knew would flout her; 'I
measure him,' says she, 'by my own spirit; for I
should flout him, if he writ to me; yea, though I
love him, I should.'
CLAUDIO
Then down upon her knees she falls, weeps, sobs,
beats her heart, tears her hair, prays, curses; 'O
sweet Benedick! God give me patience!'
LEONATO
She doth indeed; my daughter says so: and the
ecstasy hath so much overborne her that my daughter
is sometime afeared she will do a desperate outrage
to herself: it is very true.
DON PEDRO
It were good that Benedick knew of it by some
other, if she will not discover it.
CLAUDIO
To what end? He would make but a sport of it and
torment the poor lady worse.
DON PEDRO
An he should, it were an alms to hang him. She's an
excellent sweet lady; and, out of all suspicion,
she is virtuous.
CLAUDIO
And she is exceeding wise.
DON PEDRO
In every thing but in loving Benedick.
LEONATO
O, my lord, wisdom and blood combating in so tender
a body, we have ten proofs to one that blood hath
the victory. I am sorry for her, as I have just
cause, being her uncle and her guardian.
DON PEDRO
I would she had bestowed this dotage on me: I would
have daffed all other respects and made her half
myself. I pray you, tell Benedick of it, and hear
what a' will say.
LEONATO
Were it good, think you?
CLAUDIO
Hero thinks surely she will die; for she says she
will die, if he love her not, and she will die, ere
she make her love known, and she will die, if he woo
her, rather than she will bate one breath of her
accustomed crossness.
DON PEDRO
She doth well: if she should make tender of her
love, 'tis very possible he'll scorn it; for the
man, as you know all, hath a contemptible spirit.
CLAUDIO
He is a very proper man.
DON PEDRO
He hath indeed a good outward happiness.
CLAUDIO
Before God! and, in my mind, very wise.
DON PEDRO
He doth indeed show some sparks that are like wit.
CLAUDIO
And I take him to be valiant.
DON PEDRO
As Hector, I assure you: and in the managing of
quarrels you may say he is wise; for either he
avoids them with great discretion, or undertakes
them with a most Christian-like fear.
LEONATO
If he do fear God, a' must necessarily keep peace:
if he break the peace, he ought to enter into a
quarrel with fear and trembling.
DON PEDRO
And so will he do; for the man doth fear God,
howsoever it seems not in him by some large jests
he will make. Well I am sorry for your niece. Shall
we go seek Benedick, and tell him of her love?
CLAUDIO
Never tell him, my lord: let her wear it out with
good counsel.
LEONATO
Nay, that's impossible: she may wear her heart out first.
DON PEDRO
Well, we will hear further of it by your daughter:
let it cool the while. I love Benedick well; and I
could wish he would modestly examine himself, to see
how much he is unworthy so good a lady.
LEONATO
My lord, will you walk? dinner is ready.
CLAUDIO
If he do not dote on her upon this, I will never
trust my expectation.
DON PEDRO
Let there be the same net spread for her; and that
must your daughter and her gentlewomen carry. The
sport will be, when they hold one an opinion of
another's dotage, and no such matter: that's the
scene that I would see, which will be merely a
dumb-show.
[Exeunt DON PEDRO, CLAUDIO, and LEONATO]
BENEDICK
[Coming forward] This can be no trick: the
conference was sadly borne. They have the truth of
this from Hero. They seem to pity the lady: it
seems her affections have their full bent. Love me!
why, it must be requited. I hear how I am censured:
they say I will bear myself proudly, if I perceive
the love come from her; they say too that she will
rather die than give any sign of affection. I did
never think to marry: I must not seem proud: happy
are they that hear their detractions and can put
them to mending. They say the lady is fair; 'tis a
truth, I can bear them witness; and virtuous; 'tis
so, I cannot reprove it; and wise, but for loving
me; by my troth, it is no addition to her wit, nor
no great argument of her folly, for I will be
horribly in love with her. I may chance have some
odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me,
because I have railed so long against marriage: but
doth not the appetite alter? a man loves the meat
in his youth that he cannot endure in his age.
Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of
the brain awe a man from the career of his humour?
No, the world must be peopled. When I said I would
die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I
were married. Here comes Beatrice. By this day!
she's a fair lady: I do spy some marks of love in
her.
[Enter BEATRICE]
BEATRICE
Against my will I am sent to bid you come in to dinner.
BENEDICK
Fair Beatrice, I thank you for your pains.
BEATRICE
I took no more pains for those thanks than you take
pains to thank me: if it had been painful, I would
not have come.
BENEDICK
You take pleasure then in the message?
BEATRICE
Yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's
point and choke a daw withal. You have no stomach,
signior: fare you well.
[Exit]
BENEDICK
Ha! 'Against my will I am sent to bid you come in
to dinner;' there's a double meaning in that 'I took
no more pains for those thanks than you took pains
to thank me.' that's as much as to say, Any pains
that I take for you is as easy as thanks. If I do
not take pity of her, I am a villain; if I do not
love her, I am a Jew. I will go get her picture.
[Exit]

siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:34 PM
Let that sink in
tolken20-Jul-18 03:34 PM
@siu - Chainmakers sorry dude I’m too dumb
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:36 PM
Dont worry
tolken20-Jul-18 03:36 PM
waiting for the cheat sheet
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:37 PM
Think about creating your own chain with kmd where you can deploy your own smart contracts
tolken20-Jul-18 03:37 PM
no seriously I see huge potential, but it took a while for me to read a little each day to learn bdex.  They want to issue shares of stock, handle dividends though it etc. at this point with my limited knowledge, I don’t know if I should just leverage an existing platform or start a new KMD asset chain. I don’t yet know what the costs are to start and maintain a kmd chain - it might be prohibitively expensive or time consuming for what we need.
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:41 PM
Talk to chainmakers for that
Yes kmd is the answer for what they want
tolken20-Jul-18 03:42 PM
No, sorry if that wasn’t clear - I know bdex fairly well and it’s documented reasonably well - aside from trying to debug why bobs/Alice’s don’t play well together at times. The enigma was in reference to kmd assetchains, creating new ones, costs, how to do it etc. just haven’t invested time yet to learn it.
Definitely, trying to gather specs from potential client.
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:47 PM
If you know your way into linux command line and understand blockchain in general you can get this running with virtually no cost other than vps hosting
tolken20-Jul-18 03:57 PM
that’s news to me, I thought we’d have to pay notary fees and/or mining fees
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 03:58 PM
ohh well, yes, you pay notary funds if you use them
its not an olbigation though its necessary
tolken20-Jul-18 04:01 PM
The other unknown to me is security. Bouncing some funds around bdex and Agama using plaintext passphrases for personal/small amounts is fine , but it still spooks me. Multisig or ledger integration would be great here though.(edited)
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 04:02 PM
its on the works
but if that spooks you... more spooky is to have all your coins in myetherwallet or a non encrypted wallet somewhere on the internet.
so although it may be a security hazzard its not different from mostly all of the rest of the industry
tolken20-Jul-18 04:14 PM
oh certainly, which is why I don’t do it
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 04:21 PM
but you dont have to store your passphrases in plain text
you can just use gpg and encrypt the files
Hollowman900020-Jul-18 04:22 PM
Well that was a lot to read
I miss all the fun
siu - Chainmakers20-Jul-18 04:23 PM
yeah its been quiet here for weeks
and when the trolls finally get here
hollow is not here
Hollowman900020-Jul-18 04:23 PM
Fucking work and bills to pay

Hollowman900020-Jul-18 04:43 PM
Time to dump bottomed alts
$600k in volume
380k KMD changing hands
meatspoon20-Jul-18 05:45 PM
Got pulled away earlier. I got into it with someone on Reddit a while back saying how KMD has awesome tech and will be revolutionary and how if I only fully understood the project I would know it was the Future (capital F). Great, I want to believe that since I own some. But as I expressed my concerns, he let it slip that he only owned $100 worth. Hah. Thinking back on that exchange, it doesn't mean anything to me if a grown adult tells me something is going to change the world but he only owns $100 of it (while its on sale!!). So my question for Siu (and if you wanna get in on this, Hollow), how much KMD do you own? You know the project in and out, you are balls deep in its tech, you have supreme faith in JLGTQ777 and the team.... how much skin do you have in the game?

dan.20-Jul-18 06:03 PM
damn it i just made a kmd meme and couldnt post it
imagine dr evil with pinky in mouth ONE MILLION KMD
pic uploads should be opened up for us normie users
on a serious note i have 70 percent of my crypto net into kmd
contemplating more at these sat levels but havent pulled the trigger
Gordon Komodo20-Jul-18 06:09 PM
there are a lot of whales here, they are just observing
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:16 PM
Fine to just observe. I personally have never heard from anyone who claims to own more than a couple hundred bucks worth. djithbit is the highest claim I have yet to hear. But it seems to always be the people who own very little that are the biggest evangelists. I know most people go through life never putting their money where there mouth is, but I would certainly have more respect for people's technical praises of KMD and their absolute belief in its success if they responded with, "I was in on the ICO, I have been dollar cost average buying for months, I mine it on my home computer and when I get my paycheck at the end of this month, I am buying another 500 KMD to get me up to my target of 100,000 KMD. I have resisted urges to dine out and to vacation so I can pack every extra dollar into this investment that I am so passionate and sure of." I have yet to hear that response...
polycryptoblog20-Jul-18 06:17 PM
I was in before the ICO when it was btcd and nxt assets. Years. That's my faith in this project.
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:17 PM
right, poly, but how deep? thats my point, you can be in early and still have only bought a steak's dinner worth
xRobeSx20-Jul-18 06:17 PM
I do that. I was in before the ICO, back in BTCD and nxt asset days. I swapped my BTCD to KMD as well as bought more KMD in the ICO. I'm mining at my home. Running a notary node, and investing in all the other SuperNET assets(edited)
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:18 PM
@meatspoon Komodo is ~90% of my crypto portfolio and I'm already living off the other 10%. I've been accumulating for 4 years and plan to continue so, putting other profits into it. Enough?
Gordon Komodo20-Jul-18 06:19 PM
but don't put all your eggs in one basket.
polycryptoblog20-Jul-18 06:19 PM
Several of my assets individually are more in kmd than your target.
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:19 PM
There are other projects I like but nothing that I've yet found comes close to Komodo

snowdamn20-Jul-18 06:19 PM
makes no sense to sell alts before new BTC ATH
polycryptoblog20-Jul-18 06:21 PM
Point is yes there are plenty of people heavily invested into the success of the project
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:21 PM
@KomodoWorld Then good for you! You will deserve the credit for how it pans out. If KMD goes to the moon you will rightfully be a multimillionaire or maybe billionaire and it will be all you. That will be awesome and I will praise you. That will also mean I will turn a nice little profit, not nearly yours, but I won't deserve nearly your profit. But if it goes the other way, you will own that too. I am rooting for both of us. I hope to see you on the worlds richest list (sooner than later) because it will mean I too have made a bit of scratch.
Gordon Komodo20-Jul-18 06:22 PM
so you are in straight for the money
xRobeSx20-Jul-18 06:22 PM
@meatspoon there are plenty of people like @KomodoWorld@polycryptoblog myself, etc etc etc. The list goes on. Hang out around here for a few days and you'll see how many people really are dedicated to this project

KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:23 PM
I don't think to use more 1 or 2% for personal use, I have other plans for the 99%
xRobeSx20-Jul-18 06:24 PM
There are plenty of people so dedicated to KMD that they are starting their own companies to provide services for KMD

KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:25 PM
my bad I didn't cash out some in december, I could have reinvested more in Kmd ecosystem. I waited too long for the Monaize dICO moonshot
next bull I'll do
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:30 PM
@xRobeSx I may poke my head around a little, but there are people like y'all in every subreddit and discord channel for every coin in the top 100, be it a decent project or a shit coin--people who are true believer whales in projects that statistically will not survive. What I, as an investor/speculator want to see is Komodo make good on some of what it needs to improve. I am tired of hearing about how awesome it "will" be and I want to see a wallet with a good GUI, logical text strings and have it be more exciting to look at than a pile of potatoes. I want to see a marketing team that can convince other projects that BTC notary is needed. Frankly I want to see any marketing at all. I tried to mess with Barterdex for that Beer swap and it was essentially alpha testing without any clear idea of why or to what end. These are reasonable things to want.
xRobeSx20-Jul-18 06:33 PM
BarterDEX has come a long way since Beer Stress test, and there is HyperDEX as well now too. I'm not disagreeing with you about marketing though.
I'm not a marketer myself, so I contribute in all the other ways I can
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:33 PM
yes the ux needs improvements and it's overall lagging behind the backend tech, this is being worked upon. But how many other projects have the same level of backend tech?
Cryptoon20-Jul-18 06:34 PM
I have seen some adresses of people who ive been trading with
Or have seen tx ids being posted here from people
And there are a lot of people with 10-100k+ kmd and other assets here
Most people just dont want to tell it here for various reason and rightfuly so
Be rich look poor.
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:35 PM
and marketing guys are doing the job of onboarding real businesses, rather than spending money on ads. There are already coins using the notarization and this will be used for promotion after a due period of testing
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:35 PM
@xRobeSx Fair enough about barterdex coming a long way, but the takeaway here, since you guys seem community oriented, is that I wanted to be a bigger part of the community but that experience was a big turn off for me. I used to mine KMD but the negative price action combined with the Beer/BarterDEX experience made me peace out.
xRobeSx20-Jul-18 06:37 PM
@meatspoon I'm about to head out for now, but nice talk. All feedback is clearly welcome, or I would hope people would say it. I'm glad you came back though to give KMD a shot. Stick around, you'll see more people and maybe you can talk to some of the #komodo-team team as well
1
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:37 PM
I've a mix an experience with BarterDex myself, I'm not a command line guy, I understand it's not simple but there's a friendly guy coming and marketmakers. Having seen all this being built since its inception, the progress is awesome even if the ux takes time
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:38 PM
@KomodoWorld KMD evangelists always talk about this background tech and make the claim that it is so robust. But I am not a tech guy, so how can I refute that? But I get the feeling that KMD fans are basically like 1)it is a smart contract platform like ETH... but BETTER! 2) It is a secure value of transfer mechanism like BTC... but BETTER! 3) It can be anonymous like Monero... but BETTER! So its like all other top projects but better and then they just tell me I need to better understand the tech and back end. That isn't an argument, though. It is a deflection.
Alright20-Jul-18 06:39 PM
We can show you how to use each one of those technologies if you like
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:39 PM
I understand your points, it's probably harder to understand what is sound if you haven't a long experience in following this sector and some understanding of the tech
it seems all the same from afar
a lot of claims but nothing that seems simple to work
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:42 PM
I am not a newcommer to blockchain. But it is hard for me to wrap my mind around lots of aspects of it. The more obscure functionalities of ETH, for instance, make me dizzy when I try to understand them. But I tend to get skeptical when the #63 market cap coin claims to do what coins #1 #2 and #14 do, but better... while (drum roll) also being more decentralized!
And frankly, I am much more tech savvy than most. I build my own computers, swap out components, I have ghosted machines and installed foreign operating systems, worked at software companies, etc. So like 90% of the public cant possibly understand what everyone claims is so great about KMD
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:47 PM
I get it. But I suppose you agree that marketcaps and fundamentals are still world aparts. What will matter in the end are real world use cases (i.e. not just more ICO for creating more projects with potential use cases) and mass adoption.
it will take years
Ethereum has been 2nd place for a while and yet its scaling limits are already coming to roost
polycryptoblog20-Jul-18 06:48 PM
Here is how it's more decentralized: Komodo has 64 nodes that do 75% of the mining. Pools and solo miners account for the rest. For simplicity sake I'll just call it 100. Compare that to the percentage of hashrate that the major pools on btc eth ltc etc. have and you have less than a dozen controlling 90%+ of a coin
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:48 PM
KMD needs a marketing team that can explain what KMD does in a way that is engaging and can be understood by the average college graduate. Not some hodge podge of crypto catch phrases and promises based on unexplained tech.
And ETH got there first, it is furthest ahead, it has first mover advantage in the smart contract space. It will attract more developers, more corporations, etc. It won't be dethroned for years.
KomodoWorld20-Jul-18 06:50 PM
first mover advantage doesn't matter if at the end it can't do the job properly
either tech doesn't matter and Verge and any shitcoin do the job equally well and in 30 years Tron is world reserve currency or sound tech is important and then Komodo (and those other projects with sound tech) will be in a better position
meatspoon20-Jul-18 06:51 PM
But corporations have committed to ETH. They are now vested in that

Several hundreds of years ago there lived in a forest a wood-cutter and his wife and children. He was very poor, having only his axe to depend upon, and two mules to carry the wood he cut to the neighbouring town; but he worked hard, and was always out of bed by five o’clock, summer and winter.
This went on for twenty years, and though his sons were now grown up, and went with their father to the forest, everything seemed to go against them, and they remained as poor as ever. In the end the wood-cutter lost heart, and said to himself:
‘What is the good of working like this if I never am a penny the richer at the end? I shall go to the forest no more! And perhaps, if I take to my bed, and do not run after Fortune, one day she may come to me.’
So the next morning he did not get up, and when six o’clock struck, his wife, who had been cleaning the house, went to see what was the matter.
‘Are you ill?’ she asked wonderingly, surprised at not finding him dressed.  It is high time for you to get up.’
‘Why should I get up?’ asked the man, without moving.
‘Why, to go to the forest, of course.’
‘Yes; and when I have toiled all day I hardly earn enough to give us one meal.’
‘But what can we do, my poor husband?’ said she. ‘It is just a trick of Fortune’s, who would never smile upon us.’
‘Well, I have had my fill of Fortune’s tricks,’ cried he. ‘If she wants me she can find me here. But I have done with the wood for ever.’
‘My dear husband, grief has driven you mad! Do you think Fortune will come to anybody who does not go after her? Dress yourself, and saddle the mules, and begin your work. Do you know that there is not a morsel of bread in the house?’
‘I don’t care if there isn’t, and I am not going to the forest.
The distracted wife begged and implored in vain; her husband persisted in staying in bed, and at last, in despair, she left him and went back to her work.
An hour or two later a man from the nearest village knocked at her door, and when she opened it, he said to her: ‘Good-morning, mother. I have got a job to do, and I want to know if your husband will lend me your mules, as I see he is not using them, and can lend me a hand himself?’
‘He is upstairs; you had better ask him,’ answered the woman. And the man went up, and repeated his request.
‘I am sorry, neighbour, but I have sworn not to leave my bed, and nothing will make me break my vow.’
‘Well, then, will you lend me your two mules? I will pay you something for them.’
‘Certainly, neighbour. Take them and welcome.’
So the man left the house, and leading the mules from the stable, placed two sacks on their back, and drove them to a field where he had found a hidden treasure. He filled the sacks with the money, though he knew perfectly well that it belonged to the sultan, and was driving them quietly home again, when he saw two soldiers coming along the road. Now the man was aware that if he was caught he would be condemned to death, so he fled back into the forest. The mules, left to themselves, took the path that led to their master’s stable.
The woodcutter’s wife was looking out of the window when the mules drew up before the door, so heavily laden that they almost sank under their burdens. She lost no time in calling her husband, who was still lying in bed.
‘Quick! Quick! Get up as fast as you can. Our two mules have returned with sacks on their backs, so heavily laden with something or other that the poor beasts can hardly stand up.’
‘Wife, I have told you a dozen times already that I am not going to get up. Why can’t you leave me in peace?’
As she found she could get no help from her husband the woman took a large knife and cut the cords which bound the sacks on to the animals’ backs. They fell at once to the ground, and out poured a rain of gold pieces, till the little courtyard shone like the sun.
‘A treasure!’ gasped the woman, as soon as she could speak from surprise. ‘A treasure!’ And she ran off to tell her husband.
‘Get up! Get up!’ she cried. ‘You were quite right not to go to the forest, and to await Fortune in your bed; she has come at last! Our mules have returned home laden with all the gold in the world, and it is now lying in the court. No one in the whole country can be as rich as we are!’
In an instant the woodcutter was on his feet, and running to the court, where he paused dazzled by the glitter of the coins which lay around him.
‘You see, my dear wife, that I was right,’ he said at last. ‘Fortune is so capricious; you can never count on her. Run after her, and she is sure to fly from you; stay still, and she is sure to come.’

National Spatial Planning Data Repository
Enabling Integrated Spatial Planning & Land Use Management
Data Repository
The NSPDR Ecosystem will enable the sharing of spatial planning information across all three spheres of government, as well as the private sector, and will support key objectives of the NDP and most importantly, SPLUMA.
E-Lodgement
From the very beginning, our application was developed with SPLUMA at the centre of the design process. Resulting in a workflow that’s completely aligned both with the act itself, but also its regulations.
Inclusive Framework
The NSPDR Ecosystem will enable sharing of spatial planning information across all spheres of government and the private sector and will support key objectives of the NDP.
Spatial Data
Source datasets and models derived from spatial data provided by base data custodians, as well as the E-Lodgement application layer, can be used to design custom data models, validations and a whole lot more.
Geo-Analysis
NSPDR hosts and contains an amazing collection of advanced GIS tools and functions. The portal will be the main place where users can access various web maps and services, metadata, and E-Lodgement amongst others.
E-Learning
This easy to use platform is dedicated to help create and achieve an environment that appeals to everyone’s learning levels. It allows learners to acquire skills faster, retain knowledge longer, and apply these skills in the real world.
A Framework for Planning
The CHALLENGE for any planning framework in South Africa, has always been the question of how to balance the technicality of spatial planning and land use management, to the broader issues of socio-economic development.
Data Repository
A digital and innovative ecosystem for national spatial planning, that will enable the sharing of spatial planning information and data across all three spheres of government.
E-Lodgement new
This application’s main objective is to honour the Department’s responsibility in terms of SPLUMA, by fully automating the land development application process.
Enabling SPLUMA
With mechanisms to support and strengthen provincial and municipal capacity to adopt and implement an effective spatial planning and land use management system.
Spatial Data
Used to design custom web apps, data models, and a whole lot more.
Geo-Analytics
Provided by a variety of amazingly advanced GIS tools and functions.
E-Learning
Allowing learners to acquire skills faster, and retain knowledge longer.
Policy and Legislation
The NSPDR Ecosystem will be a major enabler in the implementation of SPLUMA. Two ways this will be achieved is by providing provinces and municipalities with . . .
... integrated development planning across the spheres of government as required by key planning policies and legislations such as the NDP.
... the necessary tools and capacity building to enable SPLUMA-compliant spatial planning and land use management practices.

Data Driven Design
The NSPDR Ecosystem will ensure up-to-date integration of most government project data for efficient and effective spatial planning. It will also enable sharing of spatial data throughout the country and across the public and private sectors.
Feature One
NSPDR and E-Lodgement. An integrated spatial planning technology framework.
Feature Two
A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.
Feature Three
It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.
Feature Four
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life.
Bridging Divides
The NSPDR Ecosystem will ensure up-to-date integration of most government project data for efficient and effective spatial planning. It will also enable sharing of spatial data throughout the country and across the public and private sectors.
Land Use Applications
The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform has made the National Spatial Planning Data Repository and E-Lodgement available for use by all municipalities in South Africa as well as the public. E-Lodgement allows members from the public to electronically lodge land use applications. The respective municipality will be informed of the application and process the application electronically, using E-Lodgement.

The ArcGIS™ platform is an integrated web-GIS system that provides a wide range of capabilities for storing, managing, analysing, visualising and sharing geospatial data.
The platform provides the framework of data and technology needed to address location related business processes. [Read More]
Esri’s ArcGIS™ platform
The ArcGIS™ platform diagram can be unpacked into the various components, workflows and methods to show how each component contributes to the system.
Data Management
The central database storing all relevant geospatial data, providing a range of data management tools.
Author Services
Web services are a method of sharing geospatial content across the web.
Host Services
Services provide a ‘live view’ into the geodatabase in a very fast and reliable way.
Host Items
The portal is the place where users can go to discover, use, make and share maps.
Create Web Maps
A web map is a user-created combination of items from the portal that creates a “mash-up” of geospatial information.
Create Applications
Platform apps are simply web maps that are presented to the user for a particular, focussed purpose.


var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'phaser-example', { preload: preload, create: create });
function preload() {
// A sprite sheet is for loading classic "old school" style animations, where each frame
// uses the exact same size frame and there is no configuration file.
// This is different to a Texture Atlas, in which the frames are usually variable in size
// and come with a json or xml file that describes their structure. Sometimes a Texture Atlas
// is called a "sprite sheet" but that isn't the terminology Phaser uses.
// To add a sprite sheet to the loader use the following:
game.load.spritesheet('uniqueKey', 'assets/sprites/metalslug_mummy37x45.png', 37, 45, 18);
// 37x45 is the size of each frame
// There are 18 frames in the PNG - you can leave this value blank if the frames fill up the entire PNG, but in this case there are some
// blank frames at the end, so we tell the loader how many to load
}
function create() {
var sprite = game.add.sprite(300, 200, 'uniqueKey');
sprite.animations.add('walk');
sprite.animations.play('walk', 50, true);
}

I’ve never felt so capable
the boundaries of knowledge
have never crumbled so easily
beneath the spiraling tendrils
of my mind.
One never notices growth as it happens,
and so I am shocked that it has.

Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built in rows of stone;
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle,
that graze among the lilies.
6 Until the day breathes
and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my love;
there is no flaw in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;
come with me from Lebanon.
Depart from the peak of Amana,
from the peak of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
from the mountains of leopards.
9 You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!

Blow upon my garden,
let its spices flow.
Together in the Garden of Love
SHE
Let my beloved come to his garden,
and eat its choicest fruits.
HE
