"American History X"
Reviewed by Heather Picker
Directed by Tony Kaye. Written by David McKenna. Starring Edward Norton, with Edward Furlong, Avery Brooks, and Stacy Keach. 1998, 119 min., Rated R.
"American History X" gained publicity when director Tony Kaye publicly denounced the version that was going to be distributed. He wanted his name to be removed, and 'Humpty Dumpty' put in it's place, claiming that the film's star, Edward Norton ("Primal Fear," "Rounders"), had re-edited it to give himself more screen time. Ultimately, the movie would gain more publicity when Norton garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. His performance is truly stirring; the saving grace of a story with tremendous potential because of it's social relevance, but one that fails to rise above average.
Daniel Vinyard (Edward Furlong, "Pecker") is a high school student who turned in a report about Hitler's "Mien Kampf." His alarmed teacher takes the paper to Principal Sweeney (Avery Brooks), who calls Daniel into his office and tells him that from now on he will report to Sweeney for a class called American History X. By the next morning Daniel must have turned in to him a new report, this time about his older brother, Derek (Norton). Earlier in the day, Derek had been released from prison after doing time for killing two young black men whom he'd caught breaking into his car a few years ago.
Daniel arrives home and we're given a more formal introduction to his apparently racist background. His mother Doris (Beverly D'Angelo), sister Davina (Jennifer Lien), and younger sister, are fawning over Derek. The brother's hug and Daniel shows Derek a white power tattoo. Derek wants to know when he got it, and doesn't seem pleased.
As Daniel writes his report, black and white flashbacks of what happened the night Derek was arrested begin. The flashbacks comprise a large part of the one-minute less than two hour running time of the movie. Derek's mysterious behavior continues when he tells Daniel not to go the party that is being thrown that night for the white supremacist group at the home of Cameron Alexander (Stacy Keach). Of course, Daniel goes anyway, and is shocked and feeling betrayed when Derek has a private confrontation with Cameron that escalates into Seth pointing a gun at Derek, who runs from the angry group that had, just moments earlier, been proclaiming him a hero for having killed the would-be burglars.
When Daniel catches up with him, we're treated to some more flashbacks that attempt to more fully explain Derek's change of heart. Turns out, unsurprisingly, that he wasn't as big a hit in the slammer as he had been with the groups he used to cheer into frenzied race-motivated attacks by simply standing on his soapbox and being the rhetorical ringmaster to a bunch of misguided teens. He was a recruiter and did Cameron's dirty work, something he didn't realize until his stint in jail, during which he was raped and became close friends with his secret protector, Lamont (played terrifically by Guy Torry). All of this opened up his eyes, and he turned to Sweeney, who had once been a man he greatly respected, for help.
When Derek is through telling Daniel about what 'changed' him, the flaws in the story become more noticeable, mainly because Daniel is so willing to accepting of Derek's reasons, and himself reforms. The next morning, Derek has an appointment with his parole officer, and is eager to get his life back on track by obtaining his old job position, and he stops with Daniel, who is on his way to school, to get a cup of coffee. Sweeney and a police officer show up, in need of Derek's help. Cameron had been beaten badly the night before, and they need Derek to get to the bottom of things.
Foreshadowing has been evident up to this point, with Derek looking a bit ill at ease before he even entered the coffee shop.  If this synopsis seems short, let me assure you that it basically covers the entire film, except for a short incident at the beginning that is pertinent to the ending, I left it out because it would definitely be a spoiler. Even so, considering the running time not very much happens. The 'present-time' actions occur in color and within a very short (24 hour) time frame, and the flashbacks, tastefully done in black and white, span from Derek's high school years to his final day in prison.
Furlong is solid as Daniel, but it is the amazing performance of Norton that keeps "American History X" from lapsing into a tired story. The biggest fault of the script is that believable reason for what led to the racist views and actions of the Vinyard boys is never explained. Instead, an ill-conceived dinner table scene has their murdered father, Dennis (William Russ of TV's "Boy Meets World") explain "affirmative black-tion" to Derek, who had just told the family about Sweeney, a double Ph.D. holder and great teacher, who was having the class read "Native Son." What Dennis said, and how Derek had been portrayed as up to that point, don't come close to adding up to the hate Derek harbored towards non-Aryans.
Lacking motivation, the characters wouldn't be believable at all if not for the acting. Furlong gives his Daniel a depth that, while really only extending towards trust, admiration, but also residual pain from the horror of what he witnessed his fallen-hero older brother do to the intruders on the night of the murders. And Norton's often chilling performance provides one of the scariest cinematic scenes in recent memory; that of Derek's look of triumph as he is arrested after the killings. Additional cliched characters include Stacey (Fairuza Balk), Derek's ex-girlfriend, Murray (Elliott Gould), the teacher from the beginning and an ex-boyfriend of the equally cliched ill Doris, and the liberal sister (Lien). The supporting cast does what they can with their underdeveloped roles. D'Angelo, Brooks, Torry, and Suplee in particular, but the real supporting standout is Stacy Keach as the disgustingly cowardly bigot Cameron.
The most frighteningly realistic aspect of the story is that, while it never convinces us why the main character(s) joined the neo-Nazis, it is very convincing in it's depiction of insecure teens who feel a need to belong, and find that sense of belonging in unabashed hatred. Charismatic recruiter Derek isn't the kind of Bible-thumping Grand Dragon that appears on cheap talk shows, he is a poised, passionate, and fervently articulate and captivating speaker. Even those who disagree with his ideas listen, though incredulously, and are, like Murray in a flashback scene, still resigned to the fact that nothing can be done about it.
In spite of the lackluster script (which admittedly may have come across as a bad story because of the editing. Unless the Kaye-approved version is over released, that may never be known), "American History X" is an engrossing film that deserves to be seen. After seeing this, I'm looking forward to seeing future work of director Kaye, who first made a name for himself directing commercials. He also served as cinematographer, with impressive results. Shots that are alternately stylish and gritty add a realistic touch that is otherwise only visible through the performance of Norton.
Brought to DVD by the New Line folks, renowned for their excellent Platinum Series, of which "American History X" is not a part, the disc is, as expected, an excellent package. The picture quality, for both the color and black and white sequences, is crisp and clear. Presented only in widescreen, also enhanced for 16x9 (widescreen) televisions, and in it's original 1.85:1 aspect ratio, it is another great transfer from New Line. The sound is also very good (5.1 Surround or Surround). The supplements include, beside the usual interactive menus, three deleted scenes (two are about a minute or less and fairly inconsequential, another scene which explains what happened to Cameron runs about five minutes long), the original theatrical trailer (widescreen), and biographies and filmographies of the cast and crew.
Notes: Rated R for graphic brutal violence, pervasive language, nudity, and sexuality.
DVD Details: Snap case. Widescreen (16x9 enhanced) featuring three deleted scenes, the original theatrical trailer, and cast and crew biographies and filmographies.
The Verdict: "American History X" is a stirring drama, and marks the beginning of a promising career on behalf of director Tony Kaye. The story is uneven, but Edward Norton's brilliant portrayal of a young neo-Nazi who's time in prison forces him to reevaluate where hatred has gotten him in life is reason enough to view this film. For optimum picture and sound quality, the DVD is very highly recommended. mailto<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Review courtesy of http://www.thatmoviesite.8m.com

Relationship between mindfulness and self awareness
Mindfulness aids the process of self awareness. The practise of mindfulness is esssential to know ones suttle emotions and the effects it has.
"My emotions are not me" is a practice in various traditions where an active and deliberate differentiation is bought between the self and emotions it undergoes. With continous practice the practitioner can be a witness to his own emotions and can choose to be or not to be affected by it. We know in the spiritual world our body can be compared to the clothes we wear and hence we say "my body" is not me. But seldom we do this when we think about our mind. We always have the false identification with our mind thinking that its us. But again our mind is also an impression of all our experiences recorded over a period of time and our mind always depends on this recording to provide us with suggestions or solutions. Hence this is the reason why when one person sees threat other sees opportunity.


THE HUMAN VAPOR (American version 1964) Re-edited from GASU NINGEN DAIICHIGO (1960) (a film review by Mark R. Leeper)
CAPSULE: Toho Films of Japan made this story of a man who could change from solid to gas and back. While the English-language version is hard to find and badly edited, it is a more accomplished story than some of Toho's later and better-known films. It makes for a decidedly offbeat science fiction film. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), high +1 (-4 to +4) This review contains plot spoilers.
Toho Films, probably the premier film company of Japan, is probably best known for their Godzilla films and some of the finest Samurai films. In the late 1950s they produced at least four science fiction films on the subject of humans who could change their physical properties. For some reason they are each also crime films in addition to being on a science fiction theme. They made a film in 1954 called THE TRANSPARENT MAN, but it is very hard to find in this country. Humans turn into a sentient viscous fluid in THE H MAN. THE SECRET OF THE TELEGIAN features a man who can transform himself into electronic impulses and transmit himself where he wants to go, not unlike the later British film THE PROJECTED MAN. The man in HUMAN VAPOR, their fourth film, has the power to go back and forth into a state like water vapor. He can make himself invisible, he can fit through small spaces and he can ride the wind.
While HUMAN VAPOR did get a 1964 release in the United States on a double feature with another very different Japanese science fiction film, GORATH, it is almost unknown in this country. It also is a film that is about themes that most American mass audiences cannot appreciate. A large part of the motivation of the main character is his desire support a famous classical dancer and to help her to reach perfection in her art. Americans understand lust as a motive, or love, but it is very hard for us to accept that someone can respect an art like classical dance to such an extent that it becomes his primary motivation. I have always interpreted the story of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA that the Phantom is not physically attracted to Christine Daae but instead believes through her he can potentially create a perfect operatic voice. This is just not a theme that Americans seem to appreciate, but it is easy to believe that the Japanese would accept this motivation more easily.
Perhaps another reason this film is not frequently shown is the fact it is Japanese with a title almost suggesting it is about people vaporized by a nuclear explosion, making HUMAN VAPOR further seem like it will be an unpleasant film to watch. However the American edition does more to make the film unpleasant than anything in the plot. In any case HUMAN VAPOR was poorly dubbed, poorly edited, and poorly distributed. For most American fans of Japanese science fiction films it was unavailable or showed up very rarely on late movies.
In addition the film has been crudely re-edited for American audiences. The Japanese editing is far superior. The plot of the Japanese version has the police facing some crimes that are baffling to them and to the audience. Slowly they track down the culprit who has the strange ability to turn into a gas and return to human form. The American version begins by telling the secret to the audience, robbing the film of much of its suspense. It also appears the Japanese version lavishes much more footage on the Japanese dance sequences. These are very transparently chopped down for American consumption. The American editor has done everything possible to dumb-down what looks like a fine and subtle film for an American audience.
In the American editing, the film begins with Mizuno (played by Yoshio Tsuchiya) granting an interview with a newspaper. It is clear he knows that this meeting is a trap for the police to catch him, but he has no fear of the police and he wants to tell his story. He then tells how he became the Human Vapor in flashback. He had originally been a test pilot or astronaut, but was washed out for health reasons. Embittered, instead he takes a job as a librarian. A mysterious scientist, Dr. Sano (Fuyuki Murakami), seeks him out wanting to use him as the subject of an experiment. Sano lies about the purpose of the experiment, and Mizuno agrees to participate without question. Mizuno is locked in a chamber and appears to be reduced to a coma. When he awakes he finds he has "become the Human Vapor," a man who can at will turn his body into a gas and return it to its solid form. He discovers Sano has performed the experiment several times, but that he was the first test subject who has lived. In a rage Mizuno kills Sano.
Mizuno turns to a life of crime, robbing banks. However, he announces the crimes ahead of time, in order to save lives. He clearly has no fear that the police can stop him. If someone does try to stop him he can use his powers to make himself invisible, he can escape from the bank through any tiny hole, and he can float into the sky and ride the winds. This makes him almost impossible to kill. The police track stolen money to a famous classical dancer Fujichiyo Kasuga (Kaoru Yachigusa) and her instructor (the miserable looking Somesho Matsumoto). Police detective Okamoto (Tatsuya Mihashi), who has been leading the investigation of the mysterious crime wave, discovers that Mizuno has been supporting Fujichiyo. Okamoto uses her as bait for a trap to catch Mizuno.
The special effects are minimal by modern standards, using mostly animation and/or smoke to show the presence of the vapor man. He will appear as a suit of clothing with smoke rising from it. It is not clear that smoke could hold up a suit of clothing, but it looks good on the screen. Throughout the 1950s Toho science fiction had used more intelligence than money to create their special effects. The American version threw out the Japanese musical score for the film and instead uses pieces of Paul Sawtell's score for THE FLY (1958). Veteran actor James Hong dubs Mizuno.
THE HUMAN VAPOR can hardly be considered a classic of science fiction, but it certainly has its rewards and is worth seeking out. I would rate it a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

JackalopesCreature containing the body of a jackrabbit and the antlers of a deer, both of these animals being suspiciously popular for hunting among the types of folks with jackalopes mounted on their walls. Very popular to show to children, who buy in unquestioningly, since the alternative is too hard to swallow at such a young age: that grown adults would kill two creatures and attach their carcasses to each other to put up for display.The most common sighting of Jackalopes is along the wall of a restaurant or lodge, next to other, more mundane slaughtered animals, providing a vague sense of legitimacy to the legend of the Jackalope. More recent tales of the Jackalopes give them special powers or abilities that make them more worthy adversaries than rabbits or deer, who tend to be realtively easy to pick off. Jackalope mountings have become popular enough that they are often sold at roadside attractions or as mail-order specials from taxidermy supply houses. They make, as they say, "great conversation pieces", although they don't make any guarantees as to the quality of those conversations. See also Snipes. |

Simple browser-based tool to process events from edX logfiles into a local database for analysis
ELAT is a simple, browser-based, fully local processing tool that can take the logfiles with events produced by edX and generate a database that can be downloaded as csv files, along with some basic indicators of students in a given edX course. It is an ongoing project developed by the Delft Data Science (DDS) Initiative, for Learning Analytics research from the Web Information Systems (WIS) Group together with the Centre for Education and Learning (CEL) and the TU Delft Extension School. You can start using ELAT simply by going to the workbench and uploading metadata files and logfiles (to your own browser, there is no server involved). The code is fully available here.
ELAT considers a student's learning session as a series of interactions with course material such as mouse clicks, video controls or problem responses. ELAT processes sessions of different types, for example: a video interaction session starts when a student opens a video, and it contains the duration, number of pauses, rewinds, fast forwards, etc., until the video is closed.
Get started by uploading the metadata files of the course, then the logfiles of the corresponding time period. Once processed, the csv files for each type of session can be downloaded. No account required, everything stays in your computer and everything can be deleted with a single button.
From the information extracted from the logfiles, ELAT automatically generates a few general indicators, such as the number of students per day, and the duration of their sessions. While these indicators provide a helpful overview on the processed information, it's just one of many use cases of ELAT in Learning Analytics, the main value is in the generated csv files.

This
directory contains files that allow an ACPI bios developer to add
instrumentation
from within ASL code. ASL code can expose data blocks, methods
and
events via WMI by leveraging the WMIACPI.SYS driver. More information
about the
mechanics of writing ASL to expose instrumentation information is
available
in wmi-acpi.doc or on
http://www.microsoft.com/HWDev/MANAGEABILITY/wmi-acpi.htm.
Device.ASL
- ASL code that can be included in the acpi bios that exposes
a set of packages, strings, data,
methods and events.
acpimof.mof
- Managed Object Format file that contains a description of the
data blocks, methods and events
exposed. This description is
required so that WMI is able to
access the data blocks, methods
and events.
acpimof.rc,
acpimof.def - FIles required to build acpimof.dll, a resource only
dll.
makefile,
sources, makefile.inc - build glue
wmi-acpi.doc
- White paper describing how to add instrumentation to ASL code.
acpimof.vbs
- Built at the same time as acpimof.dll, this file contains a
VBScript applet that will query
all classes specified in the
acpimof.mof file.
To add
the sample code to your acpi bios and access via WMI:
1.
Include the contents of device.asl to your asl source and rebuild the
DSDT. Update the OS with the new dsdt via
the registry or reflashing.
2.
Build acpimof.dll in this directory. acpimof.dll is a resource only dll
that contains the compiled mof in a form
that WMI can import into its
schema.
3. Copy
acpimof.dll to %windir%\system32 and add a value named "MofImagePath"
under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Services\WmiAcpi key. The
contents of the value should be a path to
the acpimof.dll file.
4.
Reboot. When PNP recognizes the new device with a pnpid of pnp0c14
it will install wmiacpi.sys automatically
and make the mof resource
in acpimof.dll available to the WMI schema.
5.
Execute the acpimof.vbs test by entering acpimof.vbs at the command line
and reviewing the acpitest.log to insure
that all data returned is correct.
Note
that no INF file is needed since Windows supplies an INF for the ACPI mapper

| #define DESTRUCTOR_CLOSES_FILE 0 |
Set DESTRUCTOR_CLOSES_FILE non-zero to close a file in its destructor.
Causes use of lots of heap in ARM.
| #define ENABLE_ARDUINO_FEATURES 1 |
Enable Extra features for Arduino.
| #define ENDL_CALLS_FLUSH 0 |
Call flush for endl if ENDL_CALLS_FLUSH is non-zero
The standard for iostreams is to call flush. This is very costly for SdFat. Each call to flush causes 2048 bytes of I/O to the SD.
SdFat has a single 512 byte buffer for I/O so it must write the current data block to the SD, read the directory block from the SD, update the directory entry, write the directory block to the SD and read the data block back into the buffer.
The SD flash memory controller is not designed for this many rewrites so performance may be reduced by more than a factor of 100.
If ENDL_CALLS_FLUSH is zero, you must call flush and/or close to force all data to be written to the SD.
| #define FAT12_SUPPORT 0 |
Allow FAT12 volumes if FAT12_SUPPORT is non-zero. FAT12 has not been well tested.
| #define MAINTAIN_FREE_CLUSTER_COUNT 0 |
Set MAINTAIN_FREE_CLUSTER_COUNT nonzero to keep the count of free clusters updated. This will increase the speed of the freeClusterCount() call after the first call. Extra flash will be required.
| #define USE_LONG_FILE_NAMES 1 |
Set USE_LONG_FILE_NAMES nonzero to use long file names (LFN). Long File Name are limited to a maximum length of 255 characters.
This implementation allows 7-bit characters in the range 0X20 to 0X7E. The following characters are not allowed:
< (less than)
(greater than)
: (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \ (backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ? (question mark)
| #define USE_MULTI_BLOCK_IO 1 |
Set USE_MULTI_BLOCK_IO non-zero to use multi-block SD read/write.
Don't use mult-block read/write on small AVR boards.
| #define USE_SEPARATE_FAT_CACHE 0 |
Set USE_SEPARATE_FAT_CACHE non-zero to use a second 512 byte cache for FAT table entries. Improves performance for large writes that are not a multiple of 512 bytes.

Using Page Objects¶
If you remember from the previous example, each time the test interacted with a web element (an HTML tag), the selector for that element was defined right there inside the step. That will make the tests hard to maintain in the future.
Imagine what would happen when the application under tests changes. If the selector of a web element changes and that web element is used in hundreds of tests, it would need to be fixed in all the tests, one by one, consuming a lot of time.
Defining Page Objects¶
It is a good practice to keep selectors of the web elements outside of the test, and declared once in a single place. That place should be a Page Object.
A Page Object represents an entire page of the application (or a part of a page, like the header or the menu). Inside that Page Object, you can define the selectors for all the web elements that you need to interact with.
You can also define complex actions that the tests can perform inside that page, this complex actions take the form of fuctions. More on this later.
Let's see an example, consider the previous test:
validate_article_title.py
description = 'Search an article in Wikipedia'
def test(data):
navigate(data.URL)
send_keys(('id', 'searchInput'), data.search_value)
click(('id', 'searchButton'))
verify_text_in_element(('id', 'firstHeading'), data.article_title)
def teardown():
close()
Let's extract all the selectors and put them inside Page Objects. For this, we create two page objects, the first will be the 'header' page object, as it's the same header for every page of the application. The second page object will be the 'article' page object.
header.py
search_input = ('id', 'searchInput')
search_button = ('id', 'searchButton')
article.py
title = ('id', 'firstHeading')
These pages, as seen with the Web Module, look like this:
Using pages inside tests¶
Having these two pages already created, we can use them in our test, and refactor it as follows:
validate_article_title.py
description = 'Search an article in Wikipedia'
pages = ['header', 'article']
def test(data):
navigate(data.URL)
send_keys(header.search_input, data.search_value)
click(header.search_button)
verify_text_in_element(article.title, data.article_title)
def teardown():
close()
And from the Web Module:
Explanation
With this change, the 'Search input', 'Search button' and 'Article Title' elements are defined in a separate file from the test itself. A test that needs to interact with this element, just needs to import the page object and referece them. This reduces the required time to write new tests. In the future, if the HTML of that element changes, only the selector defined in the page object needs to be updated, the test code would remain the same.

For the past day or two I have been reaserching Nutmeg becoming ever the more interested in its effects. Likewise I did my best trying to find someone to take it with but most people seemed to think it was too cheesy. Or that it would ot work. The following is a chronological chart of what happened during my first trip with nutmeg.
Date: July 2nd Wensday 2003
7:00 : Woke up. I also ate a bagel with cream cheese and butter.
7:45 : Took 30mgXR of Adderall (ADHD Medication, time realease capsule, I take one of these every day at around 7:45)
11:25 : I have decided, that due to me being unable o find anyone to do nutmeg I will take it today, before going to a D+D thing with some friends. Sadly I do not have the means of weiging it properly so it will most likely turn out as an estimation I beleive my current Body Weight is 120-125 pounds. A small side note is that I am currently peaking on my adderall.
11:34 : Placed a Hard ginger candy in my mouth. I am sucking on it in hope the Ginger will counteract its effects fo nauesia
11:42 : I have done the best I can measurement wise, and am going to take about 16cc's of 'Spice Islands' 'Ground Nutmeg', its pretty old, I just hope its good effects are still there.
11:44 : Swallowed the ginger candy.
11:45 : Took the Nutmeg orally, at first I thought it would be incredably viscous, but it went down pretty smooth after a few gulps of trader joes cherry cider. Theres still a few grains of nutmeg left in the container I toook it in. not much though
11:48 : All I got to do now is gather my D+D stuff + wait for my ride, I feel almost casual about this.
11:51 : Decided to take another 1/5 of 30cc's of The Nutmeg, it went down poorly and I felt like vomiting midway. I have a disgusted feeling around my mouth Now its even hard for me to drink my cherry cider.
11:53 : Placed another Ginger candy in my mouth, it may just be a ruse but I no longer have a disgusted feeling in my mouth my throats a different matter though.
11:56 : My mouth feels a little more Numb then usual, but thats probably just the Ginger.
11:58 : Everything seems a little lighter and more colorful, I think my eyes are dilated. I just asked my dad for 5 dollars, he doesnt seem to notice.
12:06pm : I have that usually feeling over my eyes that I get when having an interesting Euphoria a kind of heavy and Damp Feeling.
12:09 : I noticed my breathing is like that when I'm high more tangable than normal, er flowing
12:31 : Played DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) for awhile, made it throug only one song, Xanadu, out of four, most of the problems were due to lag But I greatly enjoyed most of the music. I feel simillar to when I'm high, oh and I noticed some of my visual Reflexes to DDR were off.
12:38 : Played Healing vision, still Noticing a few Reflexes to the arrows impaired, but listening to the music is great, I am hearing it on awhole new levels, New beats and harmonics I have not really heard before. However I didn't feel the usual intensity that I feel when I play songs like that, it was kind of like a gentler mellow intensity.
12:55 : Picked up by D+D people a few minutes ago, They asked what this paper was, I don't think they realize I placed another Ginger in my mouth
1:05 : I Grab a mountain Dew and start sipping it slowly.
1:24 : Looking at one of my speckled dice is interesting.
2:03 The 'High' feelings seem to have faded away, I'm still drinking the one MD, I do enjoy the music in the Backround.
2:41 : I'm Noticing prolonged physical feeling that feels a little less surreal to what I feel when smoking a lot of weed.
4:06 : Finnaly finished.
7:25 : (right here my handwriting becomes really bad and doubles in size) I'm in a great deal of stomach pain sharp and clinching. I kind of Half wish to vomit But like, not normally. The pain seemed to happen in cojuction with me eating burritos.
This is where the paper ends. Thats the report I had written up yesterday. Around 6 o'clock we ate some burritos from taco bell and they noticed that I was really out of it a little afterwards. Around 7:30 I drank some advil and water. After I finished my mountain dew I did end up drinking another one before going home at around 10. I also ate another two Ginger candies, my frieds think thats what caused the stomach pain, before 7:25. The stomach pain lasted for about two-three hours and seemed to let up a little after I had the advil and water, but never completly. I did try going to the bathroom but that didn't help much. I did have a few minor hullicinations around 8:00, one of my friends was spinning a 10 sided dice, and when he grabbed it, it looked like it was still spinning. I also think that the mountain dew, or at least the caffein, seemed to cancel out the effects of the stoned feeling.
Overall it seemed a interesting experience that I plan to try in a day or two, after reading a few more reports, and getting a friend to try it with. What surprised me the most was that I was not very thirsty which I usually am alot.

This is a STUDY of how data frames could be used to define a landscape.
Obviously, it assumes a subsystem that can interpret this data
(translate to a scene-graph language)
and a subsystem that can provide visualization.
I wrote this with two questions on my mind:
[1] Is the data frame notation sufficiently robust to define a scene graph?
[2] Can I think of a landscape that would interest a girl?

MBService Protocol Reference
| Conforms to | MBSingleton |
|---|---|
| Declared in | MBService.h |
Overview
The MBService
protocol is implemented by classes that provide runtime
services that might not need to be running during the entire lifetime of the
application.
For example, an application might not want to start the MBGeolocationService
until the user takes an action that requires location information. This will
ensure that the user isn’t prompted by iOS for Location Services permission
until absolutely necessary.
Also, because the use of Location Services can increase battery drain, by
being implemented as a service, MBGeolocationService
can be turned off when
not in need.
This is more respectful of the user’s resources.
Warning: This protocol declares methods that are intended to be called only
by the MBServiceManager
. Do not call these methods directly. To make use of
a service, you should use methods provided by the MBServiceManager
singleton.
– startService
required method
Requests that the service start running.
- (void)startService
Discussion
Warning: This method is called as needed by the MBServiceManager
and must
not be called directly.
Declared In
MBService.h
– stopService
Requests that the service stop running.
- (void)stopService
Discussion
This method is optional; services that do not support stopping do not need to implement.
Warning: This method is called as needed by the MBServiceManager
and must
not be called directly.
Declared In
MBService.h
– configureService:
Configures the service according to the keys and values contained in the specified dictionary.
- (void)configureService:(NSDictionary *)params
Parameters
params |
The configuration parameters for the service. Acceptable configuration values are service-specific. |
|---|
Discussion
This method is optional; services that do not support configuration do not need to implement.
Note: Services should log a console error but otherwise ignore any unrecognized keys or unsupported values passed to this method.

[...] application of artificial intelligence (AI) to the creation of digital art.
Opportunities on the applications of these to digital art are explored.
As innovation emphasizes the implementation of ideas, creativity is typically regarded as the first stage of innovation in which generating ideas becomes the dominant focus (Tang and Werner, 2017; Amabile, 1996; Mumford and Gustafson, 1988; Rank et al., 2004; West, 2002). In other words, if creativity is absent, innovation could be just luck. [...] definition of creativity remains rather controversial, mainly due to its complex nature (Tang and Werner, 2017; Hernández-Romero, 2017).

(Originally published on YNOT) Some of you might have read my general statistics article from the February 22, 2001 edition of YNOT News.
This time I’ll go deeper into the general use of referrers, the feature telling you where your visitors come from. Referrers are one of the most valuable resource in any stats package, most easily exploited, and at the same time, underused.
<!– more –>
I will leave out domain referrers, which may tell you, for example, that you are getting a lot of hits from some free host, where you are in the webmaster help section, and from there where you are listed on the webmaster pages. I will also leave out search engine listings, which are just referrers which tell you on which SEs you are listed and possibly on which pages within any given search. I will leave out splitting up referrers to e-mails, news, files and more. These are all more or less obvious. I will just focus on the real, full URL referrers, telling you the exact location your visitors are coming from.
To grasp the entire concept you must look beyond your organization and more on your marketing and customers. What do my customers want? Where do they find what they are looking for? What do my partners want from me? How can I help them? The list could go on and on but the general question that should follow is, can your referrers help you? You probably have a lot of links to your Website on other sites and the list might be growing. Actually let me rephrase that. The list should be growing, keeping old links while adding new. First of all, check your referrers to see where most of your visitors come from. Take a look at those sites to see where you are listed and find out what they do. Both in terms of how they seem to be attracting visitors and how they are making money. From this information alone, you are in a good position to:
Contact the webmaster/company to thank them and possibly talk about working together more closely. Maybe you can talk them into putting your link at a better position in return for better commissions or in return for something else valuable for them.
Learn more about what your visitors are interested in. What kind of sites do they visit? What kind of links do they click? Send those people graphics or text link suggestions to see if those pull better. You will probably learn over time which visitors convert best for you. The webmaster you are contacting will probably not mind – if it results in happier visitors or more money for him. Keep them up to date on what is happening on your site, especially what is happening that is of vital interest to them.
Next, monitor your stats for referrers from new sites. As soon as they turn up, send those people a thank you note. They will be positively surprised that you noticed so fast. We are living in Web times but you can still surprise a lot of people by being very responsive and nimble.
The above point is especially good for your PR department (even if you don’t have a PR department, you should be sending out press releases). Whenever you send out a press release, it is bound to appear somewhere. Ok, not entirely true. You want it to appear everywhere. You hope it will appear somewhere and if it appears anywhere, then you should know and value that page highly. By monitoring your referrer list you can easily screen out those sites that print your press releases and put them on a special distribution list for the future. They already wrote about you once, they are likely to do it again.
Remember though, news items can appear anytime, meaning the PR people need to be in the loop for the appearance of new referrers.
Referrers also help in partnerships. Everyone can say: "We have 100,000 hits a day and we will place your button on all the pages if you do …".  This can be good in negotiating a good deal for both sides. (With exit stats you could see how many hits you are sending your partners).
A last item would be that I have just added a new feature to my company that will tell you not only how many visitors came to your site from a given URL, but also how many of those are new. This is done through so-called persistent cookies, which tell us that the visitor has already been to your site before. For example:
Site A sends you 100 visitors each day. Very cool – you think. Site B sends you 50 each day. Not bad, either.
But … Site A sends you only 20 new visitors per day. This might be because a lot of people might be using the site as their starting point. Site B sends you 40 new visitors each day. Possibly because they are getting a lot of hits from Search Engines.
Do you see the value? I hope so.

WHOLE\ fraction( M_NUM, M_DENOM, false, true )
____fraction( I_NUM, I_DENOM, false, true )
SOLUTION
<
=
>
First, let's convert the mixed number to an improper fraction with the same denominator.
To get the numerator of the improper fraction, multiply the denominator (M_DENOM_REDUCED) by the whole number (WHOLE) and add the numerator (M_NUM_REDUCED).
M_DENOM_REDUCED \cdot WHOLE+M_NUM_REDUCED = M_AS_I
We can write the mixed number as an improper fraction with numerator M_AS_I and denominator M_DENOM_REDUCED.
Now we need to compare fraction ( M_AS_I, M_DENOM_REDUCED, false, true )
to fraction ( I_NUM, I_DENOM, false, true )
.
It is easier to compare these two fractions when they have the same denominator.
Their smallest common denominator is the LCM of M_DENOM_REDUCED and I_DENOM.
\lcm(M_DENOM_REDUCED, I_DENOM) = LCM
The first fraction BECOMES_1 \dfrac{M_AS_I * F1}{LCM}
.
The second fraction BECOMES_2 \dfrac{I_NUM * F2}{LCM}
.
We see that \dfrac{M_AS_I * F1}{LCM} SOLUTION \dfrac{I_NUM * F2}{LCM}
.

India's first ever gymnast at the Olympics, Dipa Karmakar was nursing an elbow injury during the event's final on Sunday. The 23-year old gymnast, who finished 4th in the event, had injured her elbow during training, a day prior to the event's final. "The number of injuries Dipa has played with is mind boggling", Dipa’s physiotherapist Mir Sajid said.

Since we furnished two separate apartments (San Jose and Boston), we do not really have too much we want to add to our things. Instead, we have things we can upgrade and funds for our future. You can see our item registry on TheKnot's website, and our funds registry on Zola.
The Proposal
Once Frances moved back home from Massachusetts, David vowed to never leave her out of his sight and proposed. Want to see how it was done?
Our Story
Frances and David met in college at UCSD and were part of the same Filipino organization. The first time Frances and David met, David, a 3rd year, gave directions to Frances, a lost 1st year looking for dance practice for their organization's annual production. However it was not love at first sight. After numerous beach outings, spending Frances' meal points, study sessions, movie nights, and summer hangouts their friendship grew into something more.
Over the years, their relationship has withstood the test of time and distance, never living in the same zip code since David graduated college. Through numerous phone calls, FaceTiming, and the occasional online gaming, distance was a challenge, but an opportunity to connect at a deeper level. 7 years, 6 apartments, and 4 cities later, they are excited to spend the rest of their lives together.

Apple removes an app that let you stalk your followers on Instagram
by Tech DeskInstagram pulled the “Following” tab because you could see the activity of your friends and other people you followed on the photo-sharing app.
According to CNET, in order to target others from recreating a similar idea, Apple has removed Like Patrol from their App Store that allows users to keep an eye on what other people are doing on Instagram easier than ever.
The app-enabled its subscribers to be notified about the activities of their followers.
“Have an algorithm to detect if there were posts from attractive people,” stated the app makers.
This violated Instagram policies therefore, the company sent a cease and desist letter to the app, labelling it as the Following Tab “on steroids.”
“If our app’s functionality did violate any policies, then Instagram would have violated the exact same policies from 2011 to 2019 with the Following tab. Why weren’t they taken down?” stated Sergio Luis Quintero, Like Patrol’s founder.
“We strongly believe that our app does not violate Apple policies, we plan to appeal this decision in the coming days,” he said.
Despite the claims, Apple stayed firm on the decision of removing the app from its iOS marketplace.

Class RFilter::KeyedMailbox
|
|
A KeyedMailbox object implements a message
mailbox indexed by a unique key string for each message. When a message is
saved into the store, the message’s key is returned. Later, the key
is used to retrieve file name the message is stored in.
The message store has the following characteristics:
- It is a Maildir, so various mail programs can read the messages directly
and without adversely affecting the mailbox.
- The key is very hard to guess.
- The key is short and can be included in a message subject or in the
extension of a return address (suitable for mailing list style
confirmations).
Creates a confirmation queue object that manages a confirmation queue in
directory path.
Saves a message into a confirmation queue and returns a string key that can
be used to retrieve it later. They key is a string of hex digits and
dashes, suitable for inclusion in a message subject or "VERP"
return address.
Get the file name holding the message associated with key, or
returns nil if the message is missing.
Given a key, delete the message associated with it.
Expire messages in the confirmation queue older than age days old.
Yield each key in the mailbox along with its most recent modification time.
Yield the time a given key was last modified as a Time object or nil if the
key doesn’t exist.
Return the path of this keyed mailbox (same value passed in #new).

Apple releases iOS and iPadOS 13.2.3
It focuses on bug fixes for Mail and Messages.
by Samuel AxonIt has only been 11 days since Apple released iOS 13.2.2, but once again we're seeing evidence of a greatly increased update cadence. Today sees the release of iOS and iPadOS 13.2.3.
This latest release is mostly a bug fix update—of course, that was apparent from the version number. Traditionally, Apple numbers its updates to signify their importance. Top-level updates like iOS 12 or iOS 13 are annualized major releases that start a new update cycle. One decimal point down (like iOS 13.2) denotes an update that adds major new features. One further point down (like this one, iOS 13.2.1) usually indicates that it is a bug fix update.
The update this week fixes problems users have encountered with search in the Mail, Files, and Notes apps. It also addresses a bug with attachments in Messages, an issue that stopped apps from downloading properly, and another with Exchange accounts under Mail that has frustrated many users.
Here are Apple's update notes for both iOS 13.2.3 and iPadOS 13.2.3:
iOS 13.2.3 includes bug fixes and improvements for your iPhone. This update:
- Fixes an issue where system search and search within Mail, Files, and Notes might not work
- Addresses an issue where photos, links, and other attachments might not display in the Messages details view
- Fixes an issue that could prevent apps from downloading content in the background
- Resolves issues that may prevent Mail from fetching new messages, and fail to include and quote original message content in Exchange accounts
The update should roll out to all devices supported by iOS or iPadOS 13 today. Users can check for it in their devices' Settings apps.
Apple is also working on a major feature release, iOS and iPadOS 13.3. That update is currently in beta with developers. Its biggest feature at present is the ability to set messaging and communication limits in Screen Time. It also allows users to disable the appearance of Animoji and Memoji stickers in the system's emoji keyboard.


The USB versions of the appliances are provided as Raw Disk Images. They cannot
be simply moved to the USB drive, but must be copied byte by byte to make an
exact copy of the image in case. Refer to the following instructions to perform the cloning.
For experienced users, the dd tool might be a comfortable option, but it is easier to install and use the application Gnome Disc Tool.
- Install the Gnome Disk Tool through the package manager of your Linux distribution. It is usually called gnome-disk-util or gnome-disk-utility.
- After installation, run the tool from your application menu or with the command gnome-disks.
- Choose your USB drive from the list in the application window.
- Delete all existing partitions from the drive by pressing the minus button beneath Volumes.
- After removing all of the existing partitions from your USB drive, press the button
with three horizontal lines in the top right of the window and choose Restore disk
image. A dialog opens where you can browse to and choose the image you want to burn on the drive and start the process.
- During the burning of the image, Gnome disk utility displays a progress bar (Figure 3.3). After 100 % is reached, the drive is ready. Press on the same button with
three horizontal lines as earlier, and choose Standby now to switch of the drive so
it can be removed safely.
- The USB appliance is now ready for use.
For burning the image, in addition to using the built-in Disk Utility app you need to download
ApplePiBaker 1.9.9 (note that newer versions up from 2.0 are not able to burn the drive properly).
- Open the Disk Utility app on your Mac.
- Choose the drive you intend to use from the list on the left.
- Choose MS9-DOS(FAT) as the format from the drop-down menu in the center of the view and
GUID Partition Map as the Scheme below.
- Run ApplePiBaker (you need administrator permissions for this).
- Choose your USB drive from the pane on the left.
- Select your ISO image through the three dots button beside the IMG file field.
- Start burning by pressing the Restore Backup button and wait for the burning process to run.
Booting from the USB drive:
- Reboot
- While startup sound is playing, press down the ALT key.
- When a USB device icon appears, select it. System will now boot with the USB disk.
To write the downloaded image into your USB disk on Windows you first need to download
USB Image Tool.
- Run USB Image Tool.
- On the left, select your USB device.
- Click the button with a green arrow labeled Restore and browse to the image you want to write on the USB disk. Note that the image is an .iso file - while browsing for the file, select All files (*.*) instead of suggested Image files (*.img; *.ima) to view it.
- USBIT ask if you want to restore selected image. Click Yes.
- Wait for the green progress bar to finish. After that, your USB device ready for use.
Show me how
Booting from the USB drive in Windows 10:
- From the Start menu, select Power and Restart while pressing down the shift button.
- Windows restarts to a blue Boot Options menu.
- Click on the the Use a device option and select your USB drive.

The Blue Alliances utilizes statistical analysis to try to predict event results.
Predictions are just for fun! Don't like our predictions?
Match result predictions use ixOPR, a slight variant of OPR, to attempt to extrapolate the final match score based on a team's estimated point contribution to an alliance.
Rankings are predicted using the Monte Carlo method, where matches are simulated many times and the rankings are computed for each simulation. Due to the discrete nature of the method, some scenarios may never be simulated even though they may be possible.

Hello world. It's very good to be back!
Here is another paragraphs
And below our 3rd paragraph is a table


Inspired by PHP/Java concepts
Crazy, right? Enclosure borrows a few ideas from PHP and Java to organize your code around classes and keep things clean.
Namespaces are generated from your projects directory
structure which makes your code easily accessible
through a custom require()
function.
Hate the syntax? Enclosure is very modular so you can still use DI without the module loader.
Dependency Injection
DI is performed through a service container inspired by Laravel.
There are many ways of defining dependencies for your services (Constructors, Factories, Wraps)
Resolving services is super easy too, and might not even require them to be explicitly defined if you use the loader module.
Weird and fun
It's a crazy experiment, that works really well at what it aims to do.
The module loader shifts away from how
require()
regularly works in JS in order to
provide a way to load classes and modules using absolute
paths.
This keeps your code clean and readable, while making it painless to move files around your project's file structure.
What it looks like:
After setting up the container and module loader, writing applications with Enclosure ends up looking something like this (using EcmaScript 6):
{% highlight js %} // With Enclosure it is possible to stop using `require` in certain // parts of your application and just reference you classes by their // absolute namespace let ResponseFactory = use('MyBlog/Http/ResponseFactory'), Controller = use('MyBlog/Http/BaseController'); /** * Class IndexController * * Handles main app routes */ class IndexController extends Controller { /** * Construct an instance of a IndexController * * @param {LanguageService} MyBlog_Support_LanguageService */ constructor (MyBlog_Support_LanguageService) { // When the container resolves the controller class, it will // automatically provide dependencies through the constructor. // Due to language restrictions, MyBlog_Support_LanguageService // is used as an alias for MyBlog/Support/LanguageService this.lang = MyBlog_Support_LanguageService; } /** * GET /api/v1/ * * @return {Response} */ getHome () { let welcomeMessage = this.lang.get('index.welcome', 'en-us'); return ResponseFactory.make({ message: welcomeMessage; }); } } {% endhighlight %}Love it? Hate it? We are open for suggestions at https://github.com/etcinit/enclosure/issues

Aerodynamics
USP and key details: Counter rotating fans (CRfan)
bypass flow through the pod while balancing torque, providing a higher pressure ratio,
lesser power requirement and lesser weight. The flow is bypassed through a partial
annular nozzle which keeps the flow attached while providing a flush finish on the pod floor.
The cold air from the nozzle is used to cool the braking system.
CR fan configuration with the partial annular nozzle will be looked into more detail in future
development.
For the competition in June, a simpler design which can be easily manufactured is being worked
on with inputs from SpaceX about safety and design simplifications. This modification will
reduce the pod weight further which will reduce the cost.

 The general principle is
that Python collects each object x at some
time after x becomes unreachable, that is,
when no chain of references can reach x by
starting from a local variable of a function that is executing, nor
from a global variable of a loaded module. Normally, an object
x becomes unreachable when there are no
references at all to x. However, a group
of objects can also be unreachable when they reference each other.
Classic
Python keeps in each object x a count,
known as a reference count,
of how many references to x are
outstanding. When x's
reference count drops to 0, CPython immediately
collects x. Function
getrefcount of module sys
accepts any object and returns its reference count (at least
1, since getrefcount itself has
a reference to the object it's examining). Other
versions of Python, such as Jython, rely on different garbage
collection mechanisms, supplied by the platform they run on (e.g.,
the JVM). Modules gc and
weakref therefore apply only to
CPython.
When Python garbage-collects x and there
are no references at all to x, Python then
finalizes x (i.e., calls
x._ _del_ _( )) and
makes the memory that x occupied available
for other uses. If x held any references
to other objects, Python removes the references, which in turn may
make other objects collectable by leaving them unreachable.
13.4.1 The gc Module
The gc module exposes
the functionality of Python's garbage collector.
gc deals only with objects that are unreachable in
a subtle way, being part of mutual reference loops. In such a loop,
each object in the loop refers to others, keeping the reference
counts of all objects positive. However, an outside reference no
longer exists to the whole set of mutually referencing objects.
Therefore, the whole group, also known as cyclic garbage, is
unreachable, and therefore garbage collectable.  These functions
can sometimes help you track down a memory leak—objects that
are not getting collected even though there should be no more
references to them—by letting you discover what other objects
are in fact holding on to references to them.
Forces a full cyclic collection run to happen immediately.
Suspends automatic garbage collection.
Re-enables automatic garbage collection previously suspended with
disable.
A
read-only attribute that lists the uncollectable but unreachable
objects. This happens if any object in a cyclic garbage loop has a
_ _del_ _ special method, as there may be no safe
order in which Python can finalize such objects.
Returns an integer, a bit string corresponding to the garbage
collection debug flags set with set_debug.
| get_objects |
New as of Python 2.2 |
Returns a list whose items are all the objects currently tracked by
the cyclic garbage collector.
Returns a list whose items are all the container objects, currently
tracked by the cyclic garbage collector, that refer to any one or
more of the arguments.

Returns True if cyclic garbage collection is
currently enabled. When collection is currently disabled,
isenabled returns False.
Sets the debugging flags for garbage collection.
flags is an integer, a bit string composed
by ORing (with Python's normal bitwise-OR operator
|) zero or more of the following constants exposed
by module gc:
- DEBUG_COLLECTABLE
-
Prints information on collectable objects found during collection
- DEBUG_INSTANCES
-
Meaningful only if DEBUG_COLLECTABLE and/or
DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE are also set: prints
information on objects found during collection that are instances of
classic Python classes
- DEBUG_LEAK
-
The set of debugging flags that make the garbage collector print all
information that can help you diagnose memory leaks, equivalent to
the inclusive-OR of all other constants (except
DEBUG_STATS, which serves a different purpose)
- DEBUG_OBJECTS
-
Meaningful only if DEBUG_COLLECTABLE and/or
DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE are also set: prints
information on objects found during collection that are not instances
of classic Python classes
- DEBUG_SAVEALL
-
Saves all collectable objects to list garbage
(uncollectable ones are always saved there) to help diagnose leaks
- DEBUG_STATS
-
Prints statistics during collection to help tune the thresholds
- DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE
-
Prints information on uncollectable objects found during collection
set_threshold(thresh0[,thresh1[,thresh2]])
|
|
Sets the thresholds that control how frequently cyclic garbage
collection cycles run. If you set thresh0
to 0, garbage collection is disabled. Garbage
collection is an advanced topic, and the details of the generational
garbage collection approach used in Python and its thresholds are
beyond the scope of this book.
 You
can enable collection again later by calling gc.enable(
). You can test whether automatic collection is currently
enabled by calling gc.isenabled( ), which returns
True or False. To control when
the time needed for collection is spent, you can call
gc.collect( ) to force a full cyclic collection
run to happen immediately. An idiom for wrapping some time-critical
code is therefore:
import gc
gc_was_enabled = gc.isenabled( )
if gc_was_enabled:
gc.collect( )
gc.disable( )
# insert some time-critical code here
if gc_was_enabled:
gc.enable( )
The other functionality in module gc is more
advanced and rarely used, and can be grouped into two areas.
Functions get_threshold and
set_threshold and the debug flag
DEBUG_STATS can help you fine-tune garbage
collection to optimize your program's performance.
The rest of gc's functionality is
there to help you diagnose memory leaks in your program. While
gc itself can automatically fix many such leaks,
your program will be faster if it can avoid creating them in the
first place.
13.4.2 The weakref Module
Careful design can often avoid reference
loops. However, at times you need certain objects to know about each
other, and avoiding mutual references would distort and complicate
design. For example, a container has references to its items, yet it
can often be useful for an object to know about some main container
that holds it. The result is a reference loop: due to the mutual
references, the container and items keep each other alive, even when
all other objects forget about them. Weak references solve this
problem by letting you have objects that mutually reference each
other as long as both are alive, but do not keep each other
alive.
A weak reference is a
special object w that refers to some other
object x without incrementing
x's reference count. When
x's reference count goes
down to 0, Python finalizes and collects
x, then informs
w of
x's demise. The weak
reference w can now either disappear or
become invalid in a controlled way. At any time, a given weak
reference w refers to either the same
target object x as when
w was created, or to nothing at all: a
weak reference is never re-targeted. Not all types of objects support
being the target x of a weak reference
w, but class instances and functions do.
Module weakref exposes functions and types to let
you create and manage weak references.
Returns
len(getweakrefs(x)).
Returns a list of all weak references and proxies whose target is
x.
Returns a weak proxy p of type
ProxyType (CallableProxyType,
if x is callable), with object
x as the target. In most contexts, using
p is just like using
x, except that if you use
p after x has
been deleted, Python raises ReferenceError.
p is never hashable (therefore you cannot
use p as a dictionary key), even when
x is. If f is
present, it must be callable with one argument, and is the
finalization callback for p (i.e., right
before finalizing x, Python calls
f(p)).
Note that when f is called,
x is no longer reachable from
p.
Returns a weak reference w of type
ReferenceType, with object
x as the target.
w is callable: calling
w( ) returns
x if x is still
alive, otherwise w( )
returns None. w is
hashable if x is hashable. You can compare
weak references for equality (= =,
!=), but not for order (<,
>, <=,
>=). Two weak references
x and y are
equal if their targets are alive and equal, or if
x is
y. If f is
present, it must be callable with one argument, and is the
finalization callback for w (i.e., right
before finalizing x, Python calls
f(w)).
Note that when f is called,
x is no longer reachable from
w.
class WeakKeyDictionary(adict={ })
|
|
A WeakKeyDictionary d
is a mapping that references its keys weakly. When the reference
count of a key k in
d goes to 0, item
d[k]
disappears. adict is used to initialize
the mapping.
class WeakValueDictionary(adict={ })
|
|
A WeakValueDictionary d
is a mapping that references its values weakly. When the reference
count of a value v in
d goes to 0, all items
of d such that
d[k]
is v disappear.
adict is used to initialize the mapping.
WeakKeyDictionary and
WeakValueDictionary are useful when you need to
non-invasively associate additional data with objects without
changing the objects. Weak mappings are also useful to non-invasively
record transient associations between objects and to build caches. In
each case, the specific consideration that can make a weak mapping
preferable to a normal dictionary is that an object that is otherwise
garbage-collectable is not kept alive just by being used in a weak
mapping.
A typical use could be a class that keeps track of its instances, but
does not keep them alive just in order to keep track of them:
import weakref
class Tracking:
_instances_dict = weakref.WeakValueDictionary( )
_num_generated = 0
def _ _init_ _(self):
Tracking._num_generated += 1
Tracking._instances_dict[Tracking._num_generated] = self
def instances( ): return _instances_dict.values( )
instances = staticmethod(instances)

EXCLUSIVE: Up to 30 asylum seeking children receiving no education at centre in Carrickmacross
by Jack QuannNewstalk has learned that up to 30 children living in emergency direct provision accommodation have not been attending school.
There are over 100 people living in emergency direct provision at The M Hotel in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan.
Over 20 of them are children of all ages - and for the past two months, none of these children have been attending school.
This is a breach of European Union law.
An EU directive on reception conditions for asylum seekers states that all children in direct provision should be granted access to the education system - whether this be in local schools, or in the accommodation centres themselves.
Rebecca, who is a mother of three originally from South Africa, said no schooling has been provided to the children staying in the emergency accommodation.
She told Newstalk reporter Barry Whyte: "The situation was very bad from where I come from, so I had to come to Ireland - when I came to Ireland I was taken straight to Tracey's Hotel, that's how I ended up there".
"I've got three children: the first one is a 15-year-old girl, a 10-year-old son and a four-year-old son."
She says they have not been to school in the two months since she arrived.
"They keep telling us to wait - so we've been waiting from them - we don't know [why].
"We're still waiting from them".
She says over 20 children were in the hotel the last time she checked "but there's a few kids who just came - maybe now it can be more than 30".
Rebecca says she spoke to a local school, who told her they were full.
"They say they were full and that they will sit as a board members and then they'll get back to me.
"But until now, they never phone me".
She says all the children are "bored" - "it's a hotel and they don't have a place to play, or to do anything like any activity or something.
"They are just sitting in their room the whole day... even when they are told they are not allowed to be running through the corridors and make noise, so they just have to sit in the room and watch TV".
There are about 6,000 asylum seekers living in 39 direct provision centres in Ireland, including 1,672 children.
An additional 1,531 people, including 290 children, are in 36 emergency-accommodation centres that have opened in the past year.
In total there are 1,962 children in direct provision, but the Department of Justice said the vast majority do have access to education.
However Minister of State with special responsibility for Equality, Immigration and Integration David Stanton admitts that emergency accommodation centres do not have the same supports and services as permanent direct provision centres.
He has says he will look into the Carrickmacross situation as soon as possible.
"I'm not aware of that particular situation", he says.
"It's not common - the information I have is that all children have [education] - they may be some people newly arrived who may not get education straight away and get into school straight away.
"But it's very, very important that children that come in get into school - either preschool, primary or second level - as soon as possible because they helps with the integration".
"Part of the issue is that the accommodation in Carrickmacross is emergency accommodation: it's bed and full board.
"Our aim and intention is to have people living in centres where we can provide the wrap-around services and supports."
"We're working very hard to move people out of the emergency accommodation and into the centres where... all the services can be provided together, directly to the people".
"I'd like to see the emergency accommodation closing down completely and not having it at all, and we're aiming towards that".
