The MySQL Community Awards initiative is an effort to acknowledge and thank individuals and corporates for their contributions to the MySQL ecosystem. It is a from-the-community, by-the-community and for-the-community effort. The committee is composed of an independent group of community members of different orientation and opinion, themselves past winners or known contributors to the community.
The 2014 community awards were presented on April 3rd, 2014, during the community event at the Percona Live conference. The winners are:
MySQL Community Awards: Community Contributor of the year 2014
- Colin Charles
Colin's list of service to the MySQL Community goes back almost 10 years. He was a community engineer starting in 2005, chaired some of the O'Reilly MySQL conferences, ran the MySQL projects for Google Summer of Code. As a partner and Chief Evangelist for Monty program, he continues to promote and grow the MySQL ecosystem. Though it's his job, he goes above and beyond, driven by his passion for open source and MySQL. - Frédéric Descamps
Frederic organizes the MySQL & Friends Devroom at FOSDEM every year. He worked towards making a true community driven event participated by all key players. in 2014 the MySQL & Friends devroom also presented a shared booth/stand regrouping Oracle, MariaDB/SkySQL and Percona engineers and developers. - Geoffrey Anderson
Geoffrey is organizor & moderator at DBHangops: a bi-weekly community hangout discussing all things MySQL. The hangouts are free to join, and are streamed live and stored for later playback via YouTube.
Geoffrey works to provide with content, and leads the hangouts with good spirit. DBHangOps makes for a good knowledge sharing media.
MySQL Community Awards: Application of the year 2014
- Galera
Galera provides MySQL with synchronous replication, offering a long time sought for High Availability solution for MySQL. It is fast becoming one of the main product/technology everyone is building next-gen businesses around. It is an important part of the renaissance of what's next for the "ecosystem". - Random Query Generator
Random Query Generator has found hundreds of problems with its random generation of queries, because often the most serious bugs are outside of developers' expectations and their test cases. Engineers who work on MySQL and its derivatives have been able to vastly improve the quality of the database because of it. Random Query Generator has positively effected every single user in the MySQL ecosystem, mostly without them even knowing it.
RQG was originally created by Philip Stoev, and has attracted further contributors over the years.
MySQL Community Awards: Corporate Contributor of the year 2014
- Oracle
Oracle has continued to show its commitment to MySQL with the 5.6 release and work in progress on 5.7. MySQL 5.6 might be the best release ever with significant improvements for InnoDB and replication (performance, GTIDs, parallel apply) including significant changes from the community. The 5.7 release has equally high goals for making replication better (enhanced semi-sync) and making InnoDB faster on big multi-core servers. We also appreciate the continued involvement, excellence and passion of the support and community teams. - BinLogic
BinLogic has been a great steward of the MySQL Community in one of the fastest growing technology hubs, Latin America. BinLogic created the MySQL, NoSQL and Cloud Solutions day in 2012 and repeated the event in 2013, drawing in notable speakers from the community.
Congrats to all winners!
Committee members are:
- Baron Schwartz
- Domas Mituzas
- Gerry Narvaja
- Giuseppe Maxia
- Jeremy Cole
- Justin Swanhart
- Marc Delisle
- Mark Leith
- Ronald Bradford
- Sarah Novotny
- Sheeri K. Cabral
- Tim Callaghan
- Mark Callaghan (co-secretary)
- Shlomi Noach (co-secretary)
We also wish to recognize and thank Henrik Ingo for initiating and promoting this process throughout the past years.
[UPDATE] To elaborate, the community awards pre-date back to 2005, where awards were given by MySQL AB, and later Sun Microsystems. Arjen Lentz, Jay Pipes, Colin Charles, Giuseppe Maxia and Lenz Grimmer are all past organizers of the community awards.

On February 11, 2020 the World Health Organization announced an official name for the disease that is causing the 2019 novel coronavirus outbreak, first identified in Wuhan China. The new name of this disease is coronavirus disease 2019, abbreviated as COVID-19. In COVID-19, ‘CO’ stands for ‘corona,’ ‘VI’ for ‘virus,’ and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as “2019 novel coronavirus” or “2019-nCoV”. There are many types of human coronaviruses including some that commonly cause mild upper-respiratory tract illnesses. COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by a novel (or new) coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans.
Contact tracing is used by health departments to prevent the spread of infectious disease. In general, contact tracing involves identifying people who have an infectious disease (cases) and their contacts (people who may have been exposed) and working with them to interrupt disease transmission. For COVID-19, this includes asking cases to isolate and contacts to quarantine at home voluntarily. Contact tracing for COVID-19 typically involves Interviewing people with COVID-19 to identify everyone with whom they had close contact during the time they may have been infectious, Notifying contacts of their potential exposure, Referring contacts for testing, Monitoring contacts for signs and symptoms of COVID-19, and Connecting contacts with services they might need during the self-quarantine period.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and COVID-19 are diseases caused by viruses belonging to a large family of coronaviruses.The viruses are related to each other genetically,but the diseases they cause are quite different.
Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, adults make up most of the known cases to date. However, a few children have developed multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). Currently, information about this syndrome is limited. CDC is working with state and local health departments to learn more about MIS-C.
Create a household plan of action to help protect your health and the health of those you care about in the event of an outbreak of COVID-19 in your community: Talk with the people who need to be included in your plan, and discuss what to do if a COVID-19 outbreak occurs in your community. Plan ways to care for those who might be at greater risk for serious complications. Make sure they have access to 2 weeks of medications and supplies in case you need to stay home for prolonged periods of time. Get to know your neighbors and find out if your neighborhood has a website or social media page to stay connected. Create a list of local organizations that you and your household can contact in the event you need access to information, healthcare services, support, and resources. Create an emergency contact list of family, friends, neighbors, carpool drivers, health care providers, teachers, employers, the local public health department, and other community resources.
At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low. A small number of pets have been reported to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after contact with people with COVID-19. Pets have other types of coronaviruses that can make them sick, like canine and feline coronaviruses. These other coronaviruses cannot infect people and are not related to the current COVID-19 outbreak. However, since animals can spread other diseases to people, it’s always a good idea to practice healthy habits around pets and other animals, such as washing your hands and maintaining good hygiene. For more information on the many benefits of pet ownership, as well as staying safe and healthy around animals including pets, livestock, and wildlife, visit CDC’s Healthy Pets, Healthy People website.
CDC does not recommend disinfection of sidewalks or roads. Spraying disinfectant on sidewalks and roads is not an efficient use of disinfectant supplies and has not been proven to reduce the risk of COVID-19 to the public. The risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 from these surfaces is very low and disinfection is not effective on these surfaces.


TRUE LIES A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1995 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
TRUE LIES is an incredible show! It had the energy of a great powerful Mahler (or perhaps Shostakovich) symphony. It was in four parts, and except for the andante 2nd movement, it was one with all of the horns and kettle drums at full force. Like Mahler there was even the light playful little parts in the heat of show as great and hilarious one liners would send the audience into laughter and then off we were again into another cliff hanger.
For those non-musicologists, think of James Bond, but a lot more believable. Think of the recent movie SPEED, but give it some heart and give it even better action shots.
The set up of the plot is that Arnold Schwarzenegger is a spy but his wife, Jamie Lee Curtis, thinks he is just a boring old computer salesman. As a spy, he is called upon to fight terrorists all over the world. The terrorists manage not to pay any attention at all to his schedule of trying being at home with his wife and teenage daughter for dinner. And you thought your day was hectic.
The only flaw in the movie is the slow 2nd part. It works pretty well with the exception of the interrogation scene which has been called cruel by some critics. You can judge for yourself. I did not care for that scene, but did like the other parts of the movement albeit not near as much as the rest of movie.
They spent $160 million on the movie, and it shows. It has some of the best and most realistic stunts in a long time. The script was very creative and imaginative. In the movie trailers, you can see Arnold on a horse chasing a bad guy on a motorcycle through a park, through a hotel lobby and then on adjoining glass outdoor elevators. This scene has great tension and yet is funny at the same time in the movie. There are many scenes where one must suspend disbelief, but in this movie it is extremely easy.
Of the many sidesplitting one liners is the explanation of why the lead terrorist goes by the name of desert spider. You will have to see the movie to find out. If I explained it, you wouldn't understand. The director and producer was James Cameron (of Aliens fame). If you read the credits you can see how he fired the original 3 screenwriters and then took over the writing job himself and rewrote their script. It is terrific.
I found myself clapping many times at some of the action scenes during the show and many times I was laughing out loud. Ditto for numerous other members of the audience.
The acting is top-notch all around. Schwarzenegger is at his best. Curtis plays a good wife sidekick role that is varied and believable. I was surprised to see Tom Arnold do an excellent job as the other spy. Even the daughter (Eliza Dushku) has a small but important role. Teenagers I am sure will be cheering loudly for her. Tia Carrere is a great and gorgeous terrorist helper.
TRUE LIES runs a fast 2:21 (well edited by Conrad Buff IV, Mark Goldblatt and Richard A. Harris). It is rated R. Schwarzenegger kills tons of people but with fairly minimal blood or gore. I think teenagers will love this movie, but I would not take a child younger than 13.
I recommend TRUE LIES most highly. I came very close to rating it ****, but in the end I gave it *** 1/2 because the andante was not on the same par as the rest of the movie. See this film on biggest screen you can find. Too bad it is not available on IMAX.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

PyFITS is a library written in, and for use with the Python programming language for reading, writing, and manipulating FITS formatted files. It includes a high-level interface to FITS headers with the ability for high and low-level manipulation of headers, and it supports reading image and table data as Numpy arrays. It also supports more obscure and non-standard formats found in some FITS files.
PyFITS includes two command-line utilities for working with FITS files: fitscheck, which can verify and write FITS checksums; and fitsdiff, which can analyze and display the differences between two FITS files.
Although PyFITS is written mostly in Python, it includes an optional module written in C that’s required to read/write compressed image data. However, the rest of PyFITS functions without this extension module.
PyFITS is written and maintained by the Science Software Branch at the Space Telescope Science Institute, and is licensed by AURA under a 3-clause BSD license (see LICENSE.txt in the PyFITS source code).
PyFITS’ current primary developer and active maintainer is Erik Bray, though patch submissions are welcome from anyone. It has a Trac site where the source code can be browsed, and where bug reports may be submitted. The source code resides primarily in an SVN repository which allows anonymous checkouts, though a Git mirror also exists. PyFITS also has a GitHub site.
The current stable release series is 3.0.x. Each 3.0.x release tries to contain only bug fixes, and to not introduce any significant behavioral or API changes (though this isn’t guaranteed to be perfect). The upcoming 3.1 release will contain new features and some API changes, though will try maintain as much backwards-compatibility as possible. After the 3.1 release there may be further 3.0.x releases for bug fixes only where possible. Older versions of PyFITS (2.4 and earlier) are no longer actively supported.
PyFITS is also included as a major component of upcoming Astropy project as the astropy.io.fits module. The goal is for Astropy to eventually serve as a drop-in replacement for PyFITS (it even includes a legacy-compatibility mode where the astropy.io.fits module can still be imported as pyfits. However, for the time being PyFITS will still be released as an independent product as well, until such time that the Astropy project proves successful and widely-adopted.
Yes–the majority of PyFITS is pure Python, and can be installed and used on any platform that supports Python (>=2.5). However, PyFITS includes an optional C extension module for reading/writing compressed image HDUs. As most Windows systems are not configured to compile C source code, binary installers are also available for Windows. Though PyFITS can also be installed from source even on Windows systems without a compiler by disabling the compression module. See How do I install PyFITS from source on Windows? for more details.
Every official PyFITS build for Windows is eventually uploaded to PyPI. This includes builds for every major Python release from 2.5.x and up, except for 3.0 as there is no official Numpy release for Python 3.0 on Windows. The one binary module included in these builds was linked with Numpy 1.6.1, though it should work with other recent Numpy versions.
Sometimes the Windows binary installers don’t go up immediately after every PyFITS release. But if they appear missing they should go up within another business day or two. This has gotten better with recent releases thanks to some automation.
The most likely cause of installation failure on Windows is if building/ installing from source fails due to the lack of a compiler for the optional C extension module. Such a failure would produce an error that looks something like:
building 'pyfits.compression' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat
Your best bet in cases like this is to install from one of the binary executable installers available for Windows on PyPI. However, there are still cases where you may need to install from source: For example, it’s difficult to use the binary installers with virtualenv. See How do I install PyFITS from source on Windows? for more detailed instructions on building on Windows.
For other installation errors not mentioned by this FAQ, please contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with a description of the problem.
There are a few options for building/installing PyFITS from source on Windows.
First of all, as mentioned elsewhere, most of PyFITS is pure-Python. Only the C extension module for reading/writing compressed images needs to be compiled. If you don’t need compressed image support, PyFITS can be installed without it.
In future releases this will hopefully be even easier, but for now it’s necessary to edit one file in order to disable the extension module. Locate the setup.cfg file at the root of the PyFITS source code. This is the file that describes what needs to be installed for PyFITS. Find the line that reads [extension=pyfits.compression]. This is the section that lists what needs to be compiled for the extension module. Comment out every line in the extension section by prepending it with a # character (stopping at the [build_ext] line). It should look like this:
...
scripts = scripts/fitscheck
#[extension=pyfits.compression]
#sources =
# src/compress.c
# src/fits_hcompress.c
# src/fits_hdecompress.c
# src/fitsio.c
# src/pliocomp.c
# src/compressionmodule.c
# src/quantize.c
# src/ricecomp.c
# src/zlib.c
# src/inffast.c
# src/inftrees.c
# src/trees.c
#include_dirs = numpy
# Squelch a handful of warnings (which actually cause pip to break in tox and
# other environments due to gcc outputting non-ASCII characters in some
# terminals; see python issue6135)
#extra_compile_args =
# -Wno-unused-function
# -Wno-strict-prototypes
[build_ext]
...
With these lines properly commented out, rerun python setup.py install, and it should skip building/installing the compression module. PyFITS will work fine with out it, but will issue warnings when encountering a compressed image that it can’t read.
If you do need to compile the compression module, this can still be done on Windows with just a little extra work. By default, Python tries to compile extension modules with the same compiler that Python itself was compiled with.
To check what compiler Python was built with, the easiest way is to run:
python -c "import platform; print platform.python_compiler()"
For the official builds of recent Python versions this should be something like:
MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)
For unofficial Windows distributions of Python, such as ActiveState, EPD, or Cygwin, your mileage may vary.
As it so happens, MSC v.15xx is the compiler version included with Visual C++ 2008. Luckily, Microsoft distributes a free version of this as Visual C++ Express Edition. So for building Python extension modules on Windows this is one of the simpler routes. Just install the free VC++ 2008. It should install a link to the Start Menu at All Programs->Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt.
If you run that link, it should launch a command prompt with reasonable environment variables set up for using Visual C++. Then change directories to your copy of the PyFITS source code and re-run python setup.py install. You may also need to comment out the extra_compile_args option in the setup.cfg file (its value is the two lines under it after the equal sign). Though the need to manually disable this option for MSC will be fixed in a future PyFITS version.
Another option is to use gcc through MinGW, which is in fact how the PyFITS releases for Windows are currently built. This article provides a good overview of how to set this up: http://seewhatever.de/blog/?p=217
Yes, but there is no binary package specifically for OSX (such as a .dmg, for example). For OSX just download, build, and install the source package. This is generally easier on OSX than it is on Windows, thanks to the more developer-friendly environment.
The only major problem with building on OSX seems to occur for some users of 10.7 Lion, with misconfigured systems. See the next question for details on that.
To build PyFITS without the optional compression module, follow the instructions in How do I install PyFITS from source on Windows?.
There is a common problem that affects all Python packages with C extension modules (not just PyFITS) for some users of OSX 10.7. What usually occurs is that when building the package several errors will be output, ending with something like:
unable to execute gcc-4.2: No such file or directory
error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1
There are a few other errors like it that can occur. The problem is that when you build a C extension, by default it will try to use the same compiler that your Python was built with. In this case, since you’re using the 32-bit universal build of Python it’s trying to use the older gcc-4.2 and is trying to build with PPC support, which is no longer supported in Xcode.
In this case the best solution is to install the x86-64 build of Python for OSX (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2-macosx10.6.dmg for 2.7.2). In fact, this is the build version officially supported for use on Lion. Other, unofficial Python builds such as from MacPorts may also work.
To output the PyFITS version from the command line, run:
$ python -c 'import pyfits; print(pyfits.__version__)'
When PyFITS is installed with stsci_python, it is also possible to check the installed SVN revision by importing pyfits.svn_version. Then use dir(pyfits.svn_version) to view a list of available attributes. A feature like this will be available soon in standalone versions of PyFITS as well.
Currently the best way to run the PyFITS tests is to download the source code, either from a source release or from version control, and to run the tests out of the source. It is not necessary to install PyFITS to run the tests out of the source code.
The PyFITS tests require nose to run. nose can be installed on any Python version using pip or easy_install. See the nose documentation for more details.
With nose installed, it is simple to run the tests on Python 2.x:
$ python setup.py nosetests
If PyFITS has not already been built, this will build it automatically, then run the tests. This does not cause PyFITS to be installed.
On Python 3.x the situation is a little more complicated. This is due to the fact that PyFITS’ source code is not Python 3-compatible out of the box, but has to be run through the 2to3 converter. Normally when you build/install PyFITS on Python 3.x, the 2to3 conversion is performed automatically. Unfortunately, nose does not know to use the 2to3’d source code, and will instead try to import and test the unconverted source code.
To work around this, it is necessary to first build PyFITS (which will run the source through 2to3):
$ python setup.py build
Then run the nosetests command, but pointing it to the build tree where the 2to3’d source code and tests reside, using the -w switch:
$ python setup.py nosetests -w build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.2
where the exact path of the build/lib.* directory will vary depending on your platform and Python version.
First of all, it’s worth pointing out that the documentation for the latest version of PyFITS can always be downloaded in PDF form or browsed online in HTML. There are also plans to make the docs for older versions of PyFITS, as well as up-to-date development docs available online.
Otherwise, to build your own version of the docs either for offline use, or to build the development version of the docs there are a few reqirements. The most import requirement is Sphinx, which is the toolkit used to generate the documentation. Use pip install sphinx or easy_install sphinx to install Sphinx. Using pip or easy_install will install the correct versions of Sphinx’s basic dependencies, which include docutils, Jinja2, and Pygments.
Next, the docs require STScI’s custom Sphinx theme, stsci.sphinxext. It’s a simple pure-Python pacakge and can be installed with pip or easy_install.
The next requirement is numpydoc, which is not normally installed with Numpy itself. Install it with pip or easy_install. Numpy is also required, though it is of course a requirement of PyFITS itself.
Finally, it is necessary to have matplotlib, specifically for matplotlib.sphinxext. This is perhaps the most onerous requirement if you do not already have it instaled. Please refer to the matplotlib documentation for details on downloading and installing matplotlib.
It is also necessary to install PyFITS itself in order to generate the API documentation. For this reason, it is a good idea to install Sphinx and PyFITS into a virtualenv in order to build the development version of the docs (see below).
With all the requirements installed, change directories into the docs/ directory in the PyFITS source code, and run:
$ make html
to build the HTML docs, which will be output to build/html. To build the docs in other formats, please refer to the Sphinx documentation.
To summarize, assuming that you already have Numpy and Matplotlib on your Python installation, perform the following steps from within the PyFITS source code:
$ virtualenv --system-site-packages pyfits-docs
$ source pyfits-docs/bin/activate
$ pip install sphinx
$ pip install numpydoc
$ pip install stsci.sphinxext
$ python setup.py install pyfits
$ cd docs/
$ make html
Possibly. But if you followed the documentation and things still did not work as expected, it is entirely possible that there is a mistake in the documentation, a bug in the code, or both. So feel free to report it as a bug. There are also many, many corner cases in FITS files, with new ones discovered almost every week. PyFITS is always improving, but does not support all cases perfectly. There are some features of the FITS format (scaled data, for example) that are difficult to support correctly and can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.
For the most common cases, however, such as reading and updating FITS headers, images, and tables, PyFITS should be very stable and well-tested. Before every PyFITS release it is ensured that all its tests pass on a variety of platforms, and those tests cover the majority of use-cases (until new corner cases are discovered).
This listing of code is what is knows as a stack trace (or in Python parlance a “traceback”). When an unhandled exception occurs in the code, causing the program to end, this is a way of displaying where the exception occurred and the path through the code that led to it.
As PyFITS is meant to be used as a piece in other software projects, some exceptions raised by PyFITS are by design. For example, one of the most common exceptions is a KeyError when an attempt is made to read the value of a non-existent keyword in a header:
>>> import pyfits
>>> h = pyfits.Header()
>>> h['NAXIS']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/path/to/pyfits/header.py", line 125, in __getitem__
return self._cards[self._cardindex(key)].value
File "/path/to/pyfits/header.py", line 1535, in _cardindex
raise KeyError("Keyword %r not found." % keyword)
KeyError: "Keyword 'NAXIS' not found."
This indicates that something was looking for a keyword called “NAXIS” that does not exist. If an error like this occurs in some other software that uses PyFITS, it may indicate a bug in that software, in that it expected to find a keyword that didn’t exist in a file.
Most “expected” exceptions will output a message at the end of the traceback giving some idea of why the exception occurred and what to do about it. The more vague and mysterious the error message in an exception appears, the more likely that it was caused by a bug in PyFITS. So if you’re getting an exception and you really don’t know why or what to do about it, feel free to report it as a bug.
As mentioned elsewhere in this FAQ, there are many unusual corner cases when dealing with FITS files. It’s possible that a file should work, but isn’t support due to a bug. Sometimes it’s even possible for a file to work in an older version of PyFITS, but not a newer version due to a regression that isn’t tested for yet.
Another problem with the FITS format is that, as old as it is, there are many conventions that appear in files from certain sources that do not meet the FITS standard. And yet they are so common-place that it is necessary to support them in any FITS readers. CONTINUE cards are one such example. There are non-standard conventions supported by PyFITS that are not supported by CFITSIO and vice-versa. You may have hit one of those cases.
If PyFITS is having trouble opening a file, a good way to rule out whether not the problem is with PyFITS is to run the file through the fitsverify. For smaller files you can even use the online FITS verifier. These use CFITSIO under the hood, and should give a good indication of whether or not there is something erroneous about the file. If the file is malformatted, fitsverify will output errors and warnings.
If fitsverify confirms no problems with a file, and PyFITS is still having trouble opening it (especially if it produces a traceback) then it’s likely there is a bug in PyFITS.
PyFITS uses Python’s built-in warnings subsystem for informating about exceptional conditions in the code that are recoverable, but that the user may way to be informed of. One of the most common warnings in PyFITS occurs when updating a header value in such a way that the comment must be truncated to preserve space:
Card is too long, comment is truncated.
Any console output generated by PyFITS can be assumed to be from the warnings subsystem. Fortunately there are two easy ways to quiet these warnings:
Using the -W option to the python executable. Just start Python like:
$ python -Wignore <scriptname>or for short:
$ python -Wi <scriptname>and all warning output will be silenced.
Warnings can be silenced programatically from anywhere within a script. For example, to disable all warnings in a script, add something like:
import warnings warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')Another option, instead of ignore is once, which causes any warning to be output only once within the session, rather than repeatedly (such as in a loop). There are many more ways to filter warnings with -W and the warnings module. For example, it is possible to silence only specific warning messages. Please refer to the Python documentation for more details, or ask at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>PyFITS 3.0 included a major reworking of the code and some of the APIs. Most of the differences are just renaming functions to use a more consistent naming scheme. For example the createCard() function was renamed to create_card() for consistency with a lower_case_underscore naming scheme for functions.
There are a few other functions and attributes that were deprecated either because they were renamed to something simpler or more consistent, or because they were redundant or replaced.
Eventually all deprecated features will be removed in future PyFITS versions (though there will be significant warningsin advance). It is best to check whether your code is using deprecatd features sooner rather than later.
On Python 2.5, all deprecation warnigns are displayed by default, so you may have already discovered them. However, on Python 2.6 and up, deprecation warnings are not displayed by default. To show all deprecation warnings, start Python like:
$ python -Wd <scriptname>
Most deprecation issues can be fixed with a simple find/replace. The warnings displayed will let you know how to replace the old interface.
If you have a lot of old code that was written for older versions of PyFITS it would be worth doing this. PyFITS 3.1 introduces a significant rewrite of the Header interface, and contains even more deprecations.
All arrays and sequences in PyFITS use a zero-based indexing scheme. For example, the first keyword in a header is header[0], not header[1]. This is in accordance with Python itself, as well as C, on which PyFITS is based.
This may come as a surprise to veteran FITS users coming from IRAF, where 1-based indexing is typically used, due to its origins in FORTRAN.
Likewise, the top-left pixel in an N x N array is data[0,0]. The indices for 2-dimensional arrays are row-major order, in that the first index is the row number, and the second index is the column number. Or put in terms of axes, the first axis is the y-axis, and the second axis is the x-axis. This is the opposite of column-major order, which is used by FORTRAN and hence FITS. For example, the second index refers to the axis specified by NAXIS1 in the FITS header.
In general, for N-dimensional arrays, row-major orders means that the right-most axis is the one that varies the fastest while moving over the array data linearly. For example, the 3-dimensional array:
[[[1, 2],
[3, 4]],
[[5, 6],
[7, 8]]]
is represented linearly in row-major order as:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Since 2 immediately follows 1, you can see that the right-most (or inner-most) axis is the one that varies the fastest.
The discrepancy in axis-ordering may take some getting used to, but it is a necessary evil. Since most other Python and C software assumes row-major ordering, trying to enforce column-major ordering in arrays returned by PyFITS is likely to cause more difficulties than it’s worth.
Prior to PyFITS 3.1, when the data portion of an HDU is accessed, the data is read into memory in its entirety. For example:
>>> hdul = pyfits.open('myimage.fits')
>>> hdul[0].data
...
reads the entire image array from disk into memory. For very large images or tables this is clearly undesirable, if not impossible given the available resources.
However, pyfits.open() has an option to access the data portion of an HDU by memory mapping using mmap. What this means is that accessing the data as in the example above only reads portions of the data into memory on demand. For example, if I request just a slice of the image, such as hdul[0].data[100:200], then just rows 100-200 will be read into memory. This happens transparently, as though the entire image were already in memory. This works the same way for tables. For most cases this is your best bet for working with large files.
To use memory mapping, just add the memmap=True argument to pyfits.open().
In PyFITS 3.1, the mmap support is improved enough that memmap=True is the default for all pyfits.open() calls. The default can also be controlled through an environment variable called PYFITS_USE_MEMMAP. Setting this to 0 will disable mmap by default.
Unfortunately, memory mapping does not currently work as well with scaled image data, where BSCALE and BZERO factors need to be applied to the data to yield physical values. Currently this requires enough memory to hold the entire array, though this is an area that will see improvement in the future.
An alternative, which currently only works for image data (that is, non-tables) is the sections interface. It is largely replaced by the better support for memmap, but may still be useful on systems with more limited virtual-memory space, such as on 32-bit systems. Support for scaled image data is flakey with sections too, though that will be fixed. See the PyFITS documentation for more details on working with sections.
This is a very common issue, but unfortunately PyFITS does not come with any built-in facilities for creating large files (larger than will fit in memory) from scratch (though it may in the future).
Normally to create a single image FITS file one would do something like:
>> data = numpy.zeros((40000, 40000), dtype=numpy.float64)
>> hdu = pyfits.PrimaryHDU(data=data)
>> hdu.writeto('large.fits')
However, a 40000 x 40000 array of doubles is nearly twelve gigabytes! Most systems won’t be able to create that in memory just to write out to disk. In order to create such a large file efficiently requires a little extra work, and a few assumptions.
First, it is helpful to anticpate about how large (as in, how many keywords) the header will have in it. FITS headers must be written in 2880 byte blocks–large enough for 36 keywords per block (including the END keyword in the final block). Typical headers have somewhere between 1 and 4 blocks, though sometimes more.
Since the first thing we write to a FITS file is the header, we want to write enough header blocks so that there is plenty of padding in which to add new keywords without having to resize the whole file. Say you want the header to use 4 blocks by default. Then, excluding the END card which PyFITS will add automatically, create the header and pad it out to 36 * 4 cards like so:
>>> data = numpy.zeros((100, 100), dtype=numpy.float64)
# This is a stub array that we'll be using the initialize the HDU; its
# exact size is irrelevant, as long as it has the desired number of
# dimensions
>>> hdu = pyfits.PrimaryHDU(data=data)
>>> header = hdu.header
>>> while len(header) < (36 * 4 - 1):
... header.append() # Adds a blank card to the end
Now adjust the NAXISn keywords to the desired size of the array, and write only the header out to a file. Using the hdu.writeto() method will cause PyFITS to “helpfully” reset the NAXISn keywords to match the size of the dummy array:
>>> header['NAXIS1'] = 40000
>>> header['NAXIS2'] = 40000
>>> header.tofile('large.fits')
Finally, we need to grow out the end of the file to match the length of the data (plus the length of the header). This can be done very efficiently on most systems by seeking past the end of the file and writing a single byte, like so:
>>> with open('large.fits', 'rb+') as fobj:
... fobj.seek(len(header.tostring()) + (40000 * 40000 * 8) - 1)
... # The -1 is to account for the final byte that we are about to
... # write
... fobj.write('\0')
On modern operating systems this will cause the file (past the header) to be filled with zeros out to the ~12GB needed to hold a 40000 x 40000 image. On filesystems that support sparse file creation (most Linux filesystems, but not HFS+) this is a very fast, efficient operation. On other systems your mileage may vary.
This isn’t the only way to build up a large file, but probably one of the safest. This method can also be used to create large multi-extension FITS files, with a little care.
For creating very large tables, this method may also be used. Though it can be difficult to determine ahead of time how many rows a table will need. In general, use of PyFITS is discouraged for the creation and manipulation of large tables. The FITS format itself is not designed for efficient on-disk or in-memory manipulation of table structures. For large, heavy-duty table data it might be better too look into using HDF5 through the PyTables library.
PyTables makes use of Numpy under the hood, and can be used to write binary table data to disk in the same format required by FITS. It is then possible to serialize your table to the FITS format for distribution. At some point this FAQ might provide an example of how to do this.
When you open a FITS file with pyfits.open(), a pyfits.HDUList object is returned, which holds all the HDUs in the file. This HDUList class is a subclass of Python’s builtin list, and can be created from scratch and used as such:
>>> new_hdul = pyfits.HDUList()
>>> new_hdul.append(pyfits.ImageHDU())
>>> new_hdul.append(pyfits.ImageHDU())
>>> new_hdul.writeto('test.fits')
That will create a new multi-extension FITS file with two empty IMAGE extensions (a default PRIMARY HDU is prepended automatically if one was not provided manually).
If the header for your image contains non-trivial values for the optional BSCALE and/or BZERO keywords (that is, BSCALE != 1 and/or BZERO != 0), then the raw data in the file must be rescaled to its physical values according to the formula:
physical_value = BZERO + BSCALE * array_value
As BZERO and BSCALE are floating point values, the resulting value must be a float as well. If the original values were 16-bit integers, the resulting values are single-precision (32-bit) floats. If the original values were 32-bit integers the resulting values are double-precision (64-bit floats).
This automatic scaling can easily catch you of guard if you’re not expecting it, because it doesn’t happen until the data portion of the HDU is accessed (to allow things like updating the header without rescaling the data). For example:
>>> hdul = pyfits.open('scaled.fits')
>>> image = hdul['SCI', 1]
>>> image.header['BITPIX']
32
>>> image.header['BSCALE']
2.0
>>> data = image.data # Read the data into memory
>>> data.dtype
dtype('float64') # Got float64 despite BITPIX = 32 (32-bit int)
>>> image.header['BITPIX'] # The BITPIX will automatically update too
-64
>>> 'BSCALE' in image.header # And the BSCALE keyword removed
False
The reason for this is that once a user accesses the data they may also manipulate it and perform calculations on it. If the data were forced to remain as integers, a great deal of precision is lost. So it is best to err on the side of not losing data, at the cost of causing some confusion at first.
If the data must be returned to integers before saving, use the scale() method:
>>> image.scale('int32')
>>> image.header['BITPIX']
32
To prevent rescaling from occurring at all (good for updating headers–even if you don’t intend for the code to access the data, it’s good to err on the side of caution here), use the do_not_scale_image_data argument when opening the file:
>>> hdul = pyfits.open('scaled.fits', do_not_scale_image_data=True)
>>> image = hdul['SCI', 1]
>>> image.data.dtype
dtype('int32')
The FITS standard allows two formats for storing floating-point numbers in a header value. The “fixed” format requires the ASCII representation of the number to be in bytes 11 through 30 of the header card, and to be right-justified. This leaves a standard number of characters for any comment string.
The fixed format is not wide enough to represent the full range of values that can be stored in a 64-bit float with full precision. So FITS also supports a “free” format in which the ASCII representation can be stored anywhere, using the full 70 bytes of the card (after the keyword).
Currently PyFITS only supports writing fixed format (it can read both formats), so all floating point values assigned to a header are stored in the fixed format. There are plans to add support for more flexible formatting.
In the meantime it is possible to add or update cards by manually formatting the card image:
>>> c = pyfits.Card.fromstring('FOO =<PHONE_NUMBER>.123456789')
>>> h = pyfits.Header()
>>> h.append(c)
>>> h
FOO =<PHONE_NUMBER>.123456789
As long as you don’t assign new values to ‘FOO’ via h['FOO'] = 123, PyFITS will maintain the header value exactly as you formatted it.


The Merlin Plugin for Maven provides support for developers in the management of Maven based projects that leverage the Avalon component model. This plugin will be progressively extended with Merlin and related sub-system utilities. Currently the plugin provides support for a meta info generation process based on javadoc tags within class and interface source files.
| Goal | Description |
|---|---|
| merlin:meta |
Generates meta info descriptors for service and component types based on javadoc tags within the java source files. Source files are scanned for the presence of an @avalon.version tag and if present, a meta descriptor is generated. If the version tag is within an interface defintion, a new Service defintion is created otherwise a Type defintion is created. Meta info generation process includes:
Resulting meta info descriptors are placed int the ${basedir}/target/src directory. Typical application scenario is to define a preGoal to handle meta-info generation under the maven.xml file and inclusion of the output meta info under the project.xml jar resources. maven.xml example <project default="jar:jar"> <preGoal name="jar:jar"> <attainGoal name="merlin:meta"/> </preGoal> </project> project.xml example <project> <!-- other stuff --> <build> <!-- more stuff --> <resources> <!-- include the generated metainfo descriptors into you jar file --> <resource> <directory>${basedir}/target/src</directory> <includes> <include>**/*.x*</include> </includes> </resource> </resources> </build> </project> |
| Property name | Optional? | Description |
|---|---|---|
| merlin.meta.format | Yes |
Output format specification. Valid values include 'xml' or 'serial'. The xml value instructs the meta generator to create meta descriptions in an XML format whereas the 'serial' value generates a serialized description of the descriptor. Serial format is more efficient. The XML format is more portable. Default behaviour: merlin.meta.format="xml" |
| merlin.meta.force | Yes |
Policy controlling the regeneration of meta descriptors independently of the descriptor data. This value default to false. Default behaviour: merlin.meta.force="false" |
| merlin.meta.type.postfix | No |
Merlin will default to the deneration of XML type descriptors under the .xinfo file type. When generating meta-info descriptors targetted for deployment in both Merlin and Phoenix, the xinfo type will conflict with the Phoenix meta-info descriptor. Merlin provides support for generation of meta info under the alternative .xtype. To control the type of file generated, you can declare either "xinfo" or "xtype" under this property. Default behaviour: merlin.meta.type.postfix="xinfo" Alternative xtype behaviour: merlin.meta.type.postfix="xtype" |

Hello World
This file can be access a single time, secondary accesses will be redirected to an auth page.


So..... I've just completed my first year at IIT Ropar. Here are some of my ramblings about the experience upto now and what you could expect after joining this institute:-
- In my very first days at IIT Ropar, the one thing that really struck me was the sheer amount of activities I engaged myself in. Maybe it's because the earlier days after JEE were spent idly, but the busy college life really took me by a surprise.
That's probably the thing I like the most about my life here, you always have something to do, have something to look forward to, that's what makes it so exciting! 😬
- In a lot of ways, I find the life here to be like a choose-your-own-adventure book (apart from the fact that these books are universally lame :P), you can be what you want to be, do whatever you're interested in. You can be the guitarist, the fitness freak, the dancer, the athlete, the nerd (FYI nerds aren't uncool), the gamer, pretty much anything you've ever wanted to be no matter your past. With a wide range of technical and cultural clubs available plus a lot of sports, just join whatever you're interested in and voila! You're good to go :)
- As the legend that is Barney Stinson once said "Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary unless your friends are there to see it." Well, No problemo. If you're not like the total anti-social, hate humanity type, well then I can bet that you'll make a lot of close friends here. Maybe it's because of the lower number of people or the generally peaceful environment but it's like almost everyone here is super friendly, always up for some fun. Oh, and having people from pretty much all the corners of India , there's a looot of diversity here. We celebrate almost every Indian festival from Pongal to Vaisakhi. Diversity’s super fun.
- As most of you will be over 18 by now and it could be your first time living away from your parents, you do feel a certain kind of power that you possess over your actions that you simply didn't have before. And as Peter Parker's uncle mentioned, with great power you do get some responsibilities. These come in the shape of classes to attend, assignments, projects and of course the dreaded mid and end term exams 😨. They may make your day hectic at times but compared to the JEE, the first year courses are a piece o' cake (a bit of hyperbole FTW xD).
- My biggest gripe about living here would be the city of Ropar. Apart from some really awesome off road exploration spots and a few decent restaurants, there isn't really many places to hang out in Ropar outside the campus. Fortunately though, Chandigarh is like 40 mins away on a bus. So while you can't really order-in a Domino's pizza here, you could always pop onto a bus with your friends and hang out in Chandigarh for the day. Having the whole weekend off does help in this regard too.
- Maybe you'll be managing some of them or participating in some, amazing events are organized in the insti around the year. Like for freshers, there is the fresher's party, various competitions organized by the clubs such as debating, dancing 'n stuff and then there are the big daddy (-ies) of them all, our cultural fest, Zeitgeist and technical fest, Advitiya. These fests are organised solely by the students. From closing out sponsorship deals with major companies to hosting the events at the fest, there's a lot of work that's shared among the students. So apart from the fest days being the pinnacle of your college year in-itself, you do also get a giddy feeling that you were crucial for their success.
Sooo... cheers to three more years of midnight football kickabouts, full day CSGO matches, impromptu travel plans, 4 am philosophical talks, (😅 and some studying too) for me, and maybe 4/5 years for you.

Control position settings(is only used with stepper motor).
When controlling the step motor with encoder (CTP_BASE 0) it is possible to detect the loss of steps. The controller knows the number of steps per revolution (GENG :: StepsPerRev) and the encoder resolution (GFBS :: IPT). When the control (flag CTP_ENABLED), the controller stores the current position in the footsteps of SM and the current position of the encoder. Further, at each step of the position encoder is converted into steps and if the difference is greater CTPMinError, a flag STATE_CTP_ERROR and set ALARM state. When controlling the step motor with speed sensor (CTP_BASE 1), the position is controlled by him. The active edge of input clock controller stores the current value of steps. Further, at each turn checks how many steps shifted. When a mismatch CTPMinError a flag STATE_CTP_ERROR and set ALARM state.

An MP in detention
It is close to four months since the Centre revoked the special status for Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and the government has inexplicably kept the National Conference leader Dr. Farooq Abdullah still under preventive detention. The former Chief Minister of J&K has played an important role in the politics of the erstwhile State. The Speaker should intervene and facilitate the participation of Dr. Abdullah in the winter session. Such detentions exhibit the dictatorial character of the Narendra Modi government. In a democracy, there should be no misuse of legislation like that of the Public Safety Act (Front page, “Uproar in LS over Farooq’s detention,” Nov. 19)
Archana Venkatamadhvaraj,
Thoothukkudi, Tamil Nadu
Dr. Abdullah is a sitting Member of Parliament. He has every right to take part in the winter session. To keep him under detention is illegal. By silencing his voice, the Modi government is only justifying our suspicion that all is not well in Kashmir.

Over a 2-3 year span I have ingested, among other things, a total of approximately 500 'hits' of LSD. Most of this was in liquid form, some blotter, and a few geltabs. Individual doses have varied from 1 'hit' to approximately 50. There were stints where I would dose every 2-3 days, other times I would wait months between trips. I have never had any reliable information on the number of micrograms of acid in these doses. I have experimented with many other psychedelics but never done any regularly, except for MJ. Here are some thoughts I have on these experiences, things I have learned and responses to other trip reports I have seen:
Specific Trips:
When I first started with acid, I regarded my first few trips as pretty monumental and had specific memories of things I did and how I felt, etc. As I dropped more and more the trips have sort of blurred. Things aren't as 'special' to me when I'm on acid as I thought they once were, but I think that is a product of my head.
In other words, I initially thought they were special because I was young and naive and self-centered, and the drug was new to me. Later, when on acid, the moments were just as special as ever while they occurred but not significant in my memory after the trip. In this sense, acid has helped me to be aware of when I am living in the present and when I am not. I think many people are not aware that they are mentally working much more actively in the past or future than paying attention to what is occurring in the present. I'm curious to see what would happen if I can stay away from acid for several years and come back to it, if the 'special' feeling would return. Also, the first acid trips I had were mostly on higher quality LSD than later trips.
Most of my trips were at home, some at raves, some at clubs, some at school, some just walking around. Once comfortable with the drug, I was able to drive on it without much difficulty (not that I'd suggest trying it). Movies used to be fun on it, but lost their appeal. Music was always great, especially live.
The effects I have come to associate with acid have varied widely from trip to trip. You can see the FAQs on the effects, what I had was never any different. Marijuana has a strong affect on the trip. Generally I would either have no MJ while tripping or a lot of it. Without, the trip would be less visual and more interactive, more like flying; with, it became more shaman-esque, I would feel more like I was sinking into the world and the hallucinations were more engulfing (more like an escape). A lot of people seem to have trouble tripping without MJ, but I've come to appreciate doing it both ways -- just different. Also, nitrous oxide was often a pleasant addition, though I would tend to use it compulsively when tripping. I tried DXM once while on LSD, but I didn't find it very pleasant. I don't like DXM much, though.
I haven't had any trips that have been entirely 'bad'. It is possible to get into a negative wavelength/downward spiral on the drug mentally, but I have never really lost myself in one (though I know plenty of people who have). I was almost always in a good mindset before/during the trip and excited to have the drug/experience. I haven't freaked out on acid (except the first time I did it, but that was just because I'd never done it), either. I would have difficulty sleeping on the drug -- I wouldn't suggest one assume they would be able to. Most of my unpleasant moments would come at these times. Alcohol wouldn't really make this condition much better, I would simply be drunk while I was tripping. I never had access to Thorazine.
I became very used to the drug and to guiding myself through trips. A lot of less experienced trippers aren't really able to do this and are probably more prone to having 'bad trips'. As I learned to trip it became easier to get the types of hallucinations I liked and I became very comfortable with what the drug would do -- including negative effects. I guess the 'shock' the acid had when I started to use it went away as I did more, but the effects remained.
When I would do a lot of acid my sleep patterns would be disrupted -- but I've always had strange sleeping habits. Most of the negative physical effects (like muscle tension) were, I think, more a result of being physically tired and mentally fatigued/strung out (occasionnally sensory overload). I would often have really bad gas while tripping, but I consider this more a result of improper eating habits before/during the trip. Since I was generally tripping so much, I didn't really set up my eating in a way to facilitate comfortable tripping. I wouldn't suggest eating too much before/during the trip.
Aftereffects of chronic use:
I'm no longer really sure what the acid has 'done' to me or what the lingering effects are. I thought I knew/understood for awhile, but in the meantime my concept of who/what I am has been completely blown away. I feel like I've become a completely different person over the course of my use (which I have stopped recently). The things I believe in and care about have completely changed, but it is difficult to know if that would have happened without the drug, too. It could have just been a part of my natural development.
Sometimes my head feels hollow, but my cognitive functions don't seem at all impaired. I can still do well in school, work, etc., though I do have a tough time 'putting on a happy face' and performing tasks that I think are bullshit or that I don't want to do (like preparing reports on items that are of no personal significance for work/school, especially when they are for people or purposes that I think are full of shit). I feel a more intense need for self-expression, which becomes increasingly difficult to do with words.
I have become more quiet, withdrawn -- acid has really made it clear to me the futility of words to accurately or completely describe anything, therefore I don't feel the need to try so hard to use them.  FYI, I used lots of marijuana and alcohol over this period, too, but not any hard drugs on a regular basis.  MJ is MJ, see the Erowid FAQ.
I have noticed a decline in my immune capabilities and general energy level, especially during periods of high use. My sleeping patterns weren't consistent or healthy and I wasn't eating very well either. Of course, these problems were facilitated by the other drugs, too, and my condition has improved (and I think it will continue to do so) since I stopped dropping. Every so often I have some sort of minor hallucination, but never a full-scale 'flashback'.
Helpful coments, stuff I've realized:
Those who are informed that something is wrong with them b/c of their acid use (or any drug use, for that matter) or that they have been permanently negatively affected by it would do well to understand that this is simply pressure being put on you by people who don't understand you and/or wish you were different. There is a lot of anti-drug propaganda out there and it can be tough to push it out of your head -- it can be especially tough for people who have never tried drugs to get these messages out of their heads, too.
The ruling class is only trying to deter you from using drugs, with drug tests, anti-drug laws, and anti-drug propaganda, etc., so that you can be more easily controlled and, more literally, used for their purposes. Most people are afraid of the ruling class and feel pressured to spread their messages (the major media organizations do this, for example) and conform to their preferred morals/ideals. It is easier for those in power to control you if you are just like everyone else who cooperates with their systems and rules -- systems and rules which are set up and administered to benefit THEM, not you or your mental health.
These things certainly don't make drug use 'wrong'. This does not make using them inherently unhealthy. It is possible to use drugs responsibly. You are not committing a sin every time you drop a tab, light a joint, or snort a line. The problem here is that a lot of people believe a lot of bullshit and are given incentives to force their (often misled) moral constraints on others.
Remember, there is no 'normal' and everyone here is free to be/do whatever they want. Acid can seem to distance you from the perceptions of the rest of the world population, but when the world is as constantly full of shit as this one, I don't think there is harm in that. Acid can make you aware of the shit, which is why I think so many people tend to 'rebel' who do acid.
Personally, I think acid can really open your mind. I had a really closed mind before my experiences and I didn't even know it. During those times, I hurt a lot of people and I believed that I had some sort of moral obligation to act in a certain way and live by certain standards. Now, I no longer think of myself in this way or limit myself to these artifical constraints. In short, I think it has been an excellent thing for my maturation.
More reflective notes:
I have gone through periods where I have worried about permanent damage and/or changes that have happened b/c of the acid. My advice to those in this situation would be to relax: everything in life changes you somehow, and once it has happened there is no going back. I definitely don't feel any 'dumber' and I don't feel like 'damaged goods'. If anything, I feel like the acid has made me much more aware of who I am and where I am, and more able to appreciate the things about life I enjoy. I was battling moderate/severe depression throughout this period. I wouldn't say the acid made that go away, but it did show me how life can be perceived and how beautiful it is to be alive (this was helpful while I was depressed, the acid can grant a repreive from the shit).
I felt more schizophrenic BEFORE my acid use than AFTER. I have never received counseling for my depression/drug habits and have not been diagnosed with any mental disorder. I don't know what it would feel like to be schizophrenic, and any notion I had of being 'normal' has been gone for a long time.
Final Tips for users:
The geltabs I've done have always been the best quality, both in terms of direct effects and spititual heightening. Papers are never really reliable (I've gotten bunked a few times) and most of the liquid I've had has been okay, but not great. If you have had bad/hollow experiences with liquid or papers, I'd suggest trying geltabs (if you can get any) before rejecting the drug completely. Dealers have a tendency to rip people off sometimes, but the integrity of the drug is not compromised by this fact.

The
HODGE Family
(You
can search any file or page on this web site by following the steps found by
clicking on Search.)
Sometime during the first half of the nineteenth
century two HODGE families came to Monroe County from Pennsylvania. William
Hodge (about 1777 - February 20, 1871) was a farmer and appears to have arrived
in the early 1840s. This estimate of the time of his arrival is based on the
fact that he purchased land in Bethel Township in 1844. James Hodge (about 1778
- October 29, 1851) is believed to be the brother of William Hodge (about 1777
- February 20, 1871) and may have come to Monroe County at the same time or
possibly earlier. James is listed in Malaga in the 1840 census. A William Hodge
is also listed as being in Malaga in the 1840 census, but it is not clear
whether this was James father, who was also named William Hodge (about 1757 -
about October 1852), or his brother who subsequently purchased land in Bethel
Township. In the 1850 census James was listed as being a tailor and lived in or
near the town of Malaga, Ohio. At the time of the 1850 census, William was 73
years old and James was 72 years old.
Both the 1850 and 1860 census indicated that William
Hodge was head of his household at ages 73 and 84 respectively. In 1850 six
people are enumerated in his household: William (age 73); Martha (age 25); Mary
(14); Phebe (10); William R. (11); and Samuel (24).
Ten years later at the 1860 census, the household
was enumerated as 4 people: William (age 84); Samuel (age 38); Samuel's wife,
Catharine (30) and their son, John W. Hodge (8 months). In 1860 Martha and Mary
A. were enumerated as a separate household which included a third member,
Luther Tippans (age 12). This second household was enumerated sequentially with
that of the William Hodge household indicating that the two residences must
have been close together or possibly even contiguous. It is quite possible that
this may have been the census-taker=s way of showing that there were two
components of this family. By the time of the 1860 census, William was
apparently too old to care for the farm and Samuel and his family had
effectively taken it over. William R. Hodge who would have been about 21 years
old was absent from the 1860 census count.
Most of the records that would have contained
information about the Hodge families in Monroe County were lost in the Monroe
County courthouse fire of 1867. As a result, facts about the Hodge family in
Monroe County are sparse. However, a lawsuit involving William Hodge, father of
James Hodge (about 1778 - October 29, 1851) and probably William Hodge (about
1777 - February 20, 1871) provides considerable insight and information about
the family. Information from the court records is as follows: Peter Waddle,
plaintiff, of Bethel Township, Monroe County, Ohio asserted that on March 5,
1847 William Hodge, defendant, borrowed a mare which he drove from Bethel
Township to Malaga [a distance of perhaps 20 miles]. Waddle said that Hodge abused
the mare that then sickened and became of no value. The mare died on April 1,
1847. Waddle asked $90 damages.
On April 24, 1847 at 12:o'clock the defendant,
William Hodge (about 1757 - about October 1852) appeared and disputed the
plaintiff's claim and demanded a jury trial. The trial was held on May 1, 1874.
Jurors included Henry Winland, Robert Martin, Jacob Miller, Sen. William
Holden, Francis Miller and Jack Miller, Jr. The jury found for the plaintiff in
the amount of $60 plus $34.70 up to this date, May 3. The defendant's witnesses
included: Robert Gatchel, Jonathan Conner, John L. Henthorn, John Enlow,
Matthew Scott, Thomas Fisher, William Hodge, James Hodge, Martha Hodge,
Elisabeth Enlow, Samuel Fisher, James Enlow, James Thomson, John Moray and
Samuel Hodge.
On May 3, 1847, apparently at the end of the trial,
"James Hodge, son, and Jonathan Connor do acknowledge ourselves bail for
William Hodge in the sum of $250 to be levied of our goods and chattels."
This transaction occurred before Thomas Miller, a Justice of Peace for Bethel
Township, Monroe County. This bail or bond identifies the defendant, William
Hodge (about 1757 - about October 1852), to be the father of James Hodge (about
1778 - October 29, 1851) of Malaga, Ohio and likely the father of William Hodge
(about 1777 - February 20, 1871) of Bethel Township.
According to the 1850 census, James Hodge (about
1778 - October 29, 1851) of Malaga was then 72 years old. This age is confirmed
by his death record. At the time of the trial on May 1, 1847 he would have been
68 or 69 years old, depending on what date his birthday fell. If we assume that
his father, William Hodge, had been about 20 years old when James was born,
this would have made William around 88 when he borrowed the mare. The estimate
of his dates of birth and death that have been used here are based on this
conclusion.
William Hodge (about 1757 - about October 1852)
never paid the court-assessed penalty. According to the court records,
"William Hodge died in the October term of this Court in 1852,"
leaving his estate insolvent. We do not know the exact date of his death. The
records indicate that James Hodge had died the year prior to his father on
October 29, 1851. On November 1, 1852 Peter Waddle caused the only surviving
bond-holder, Jonathan Connor, to pay the full amount of the judgment, $122.60.
Jonathan Connor was apparently a friend of the Hodge
family. He testified for William Hodge at his trial in May of 1847 and within a
day or two co-signed, with William's son, James Hodge, a bail bond for
William's release. But, little did he expect that both his co-signer, James,
and William Hodge would soon die leaving him to pay the full bill.
Understandably, Jonathan Conner wanted to recoup his money. So on May 23, 1860
Jonathan Conner brought a civil action against the heirs of James Hodge.
Jonathan Conner knew that James Hodge had owned lot number 3 adjoining the town
of Malaga on the west side and that the heirs of James had sold this lot to
Peter Mann for $120. Peter Mann had not yet paid for the lot, however, even
though he had built on the property and paid the taxes on it. Peter Mann had
deferred payment until he could get a clear title to the property. Jonathan Conner's
objective with the suit was to cause the James Hodge's heirs to provide a clear
title to the lot so that Peter Mann could pay for it and the money for the sale
would be given to him as repayment for having to pay Peter Waddle for the bail
bond.
The
May 23, 1860 civil action, Jonathan Conner versus Hodge, specified the
following as defendants: Peter Mann; Kinworthy Hodge [in California]; William
Hodge who lived in Maryland; John Hodge; Robert Hodge who lived in Monroe
County; Joseph Hodge who resided in Noble County; Margaret Hodge Starr who
married Moses Starr; and a single daughter who lived in Guernsey County, Ohio.
The Court issue a summons to the sheriff stating: "You are commanded to
notify [defendants] that they have been sued by Jonathan Conner in the Court of
Common Pleas of Monroe County and that unless they answer by 23 June 1860, the
petition in said case as against them will be taken as true and judgment
rendered accordingly " Peter Mann's answer was that he was ready to pay
the $120 as soon as he got a deed. He had bought the lot from Robert Hodge on
March 14, 1856 as an agent of the heirs. The case was resolved by Robert Hodge.
The other heirs did not answer. Peter Mann paid the court $120 and got a clear
deed. Conner got his money.

"Goodnight you princes of Maine, you kings of New England."  Seemingly a heartwarming yarn of a cynical, yet loving, orphanage caretaker (Caine) and one orphan that's been adopted twice and returned twice (Maguire); this crochet comforter eventually becomes more of a patch work quilt. Caine narrates this much of the tale even before the opening credits finish. Though the first act blankets the screen with the warm cinematographic look and against-all-odds optimism of "October Sky," "Cider House Rules" never quite leaves the ground.
Caine grooms Maguire for his position as caretaker/obstetrician at the St. Cloud orphanage, but instead, the good-natured, intelligent young Maguire seizes a sudden opportunity to see the world. This is where the movie changes its tone. No longer about the Caine/Maguire (promising son leaving his possessive, but loving father) relationship, "Cider House" becomes a soap opera platform for a pro-choice/pro-life debate eventually favoring the former.
An attempted metaphor for society's meaningless out-of-date, out-of-touch traditions/rituals/morals, "The Rules" serve as a constant pain in the butt to those "real" (in-touch) people in the film. But, since these rules have never been demonstrated to mean a darn thing to our endearing main character, all the fuss about them at the end doesn't mean much to the viewer. It could have worked, had Irving re-written Maguire's already lovably indifferent demeanor.
The photography is grand and the acting solid all the way through with special cudos to Delroy Lindo as the apple picker crew boss. Though each scene stands strong on its own, the film as a whole falls short, trying hard to condense just too much of the novel's material into a little over two hours of cinema time. New threads start too far from where the old ones finish, leaving "Cider House" with more patches than a quilt despite its sincerely fine beginning.
Though two other John Irving books have been made into films ("World According to Garp" and "Hotel New Hampshire"), the "Cider House" screenplay is the first to have been penned by him as well.
The Cider House Rules. Copyright © 1999. Rated R. Starring Tobey Maguire, Michael Caine, Charlize Theron, Delory Lindo and Erykah Badu. Directed by Lasse Hallstrom. Screenplay by John Irving (Based upon his novel).

As part of this week's curriculum, I watched a video from a discussion with Dev Bootcamp's founder Shereef Bishay. I found his discussion of Dev Bootcamp, its culture and its origins to be quite insightful. He explained how as the first program of its kind, one that is still only a few years old, Dev Bootcamp was born as an experiment, and continues to be today.
Like any organization, the success of Dev Bootcamp is dependent on the efforts of everyone involved in the program. After hearing Shereef discuss the culture at Dev Bootcamp, I'm even more excited to attend as some of the points he made really resonated with me. Specifically, he mentioned the importance of taking charge of your own education. This advice really applies to life more broadly. To be successful, the ability to respond to a situation with aplomb and to react to obstacles intelligently is critical.
As I approach the first day physically at Dev Bootcamp, I continue to become more excited by this opportunity to work with other motivated people to make the most of this opportunity to collaboratively learn new skills.
