Literal carriage return. Run script through tr -d '\r'
.
$ cat -v myscript
#!/bin/sh^M
echo "Hello World"^M
$ cat -v myscript
#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello World"
The script uses Windows/DOS style \r\n
line terminators instead of UNIX style \n
terminators. The additional \r
aka ^M
aka carriage return characters will be treated literally, and results in all sorts strange bugs and messages.
You can verify this with cat -v yourfile
and see whether or not each line ends with a ^M
. To delete them, open the file in your editor and save the file as "Unix", "UNIX/OSX Format", :set ff=unix
or similar if it supports it.
If you don't know how to get your editor to save a file with Unix line terminators, you can use tr
:
tr -d '\r' < badscript > goodscript
This will read a script badscript
with possible carriage returns, and write goodscript
without them.

This Halloween I decided to attend a rave in a nearby metropolis. I had been to one rave previously and found the experience quite interesting. On that occasion I was on a smallish dose of LSD. For this experience I chose to take my standard dose of 2CB (25 mg). All four of my companions did the same.
I chose not to fast before this trip. Although I usually fast for 12 hours or more prior to any trip, I decided that fasting prior to dancing for hours was not wise. However, I did make an effort to eat lightly throughout the day. The other benefit of fasting, focusing one's will on the experience to come, wasn't much of a problem since I had been anticipating this event for weeks.
At around 11:30 pm we arrived at the rave and ingested our chemicals. I had smoked a substantial amount of high grade cannabis early in the evening (around 6:00 pm), but was no longer feeling much, if anything, from it.
All but one of my companions had tried 2CB previously, and the one who hadn't was well versed in the more common psychedelics. Immediately after ingestion we entered the rave.
A rave is something else. The pounding music and trippy lights are enough to put one into an altered state. We walked around getting a look at the venue and then moved out to do some dancing. We danced for a bit (maybe 30-40 minutes, maybe a little less) and then went to rest for a while.
We moved to the sides of the venue and found a relatively clear space to sit. About ten minutes after we sat down, one of my companions (Jf, who had never tried bees before) asked me 'Are we peaking yet?'. This was ~50 minutes to an hour after ingestion. I wasn't sure I was feeling anything at that point and told her so, mentioning that bees usually peak (plateau might be a better word for this particular substance) at two to three hours. She was obviously feeling the bees strongly.
I decided to concentrate to see if I could determine whether or not I was feeling any drug effects, and if so, how much. The sensory experience of the rave itself made it difficult to tell. I certainly wasn't feeling 'normal' but I wasn't feeling much of what I have come to think of as characteristic of 2CB either. After a few minutes of looking for drug alerts, I began to realize I was feeling the bees. I felt the calm centering that I have come to associate with 2CB. I also felt some stomach jitters, which I do not experience every time, but I am certainly familiar with. With eyes closed I was starting to detect the stirrings of eyelid movies. This was almost certainly influenced, and perhaps drowned out to a degree, by the lights playing all over everything, including my eyelids.
Now the bees were really coming on. Once I became aware of it, it was impossible to ignore. They were a little turbulent and I started to feel slightly uncomfortable physically. I just felt a bit 'off'. One of my friends mentioned later he too felt a bit out of it for a short while. After about ten minutes I realized I needed to use the bathroom and excused myself to go do so.
The bathroom provided a pretty good 'trip check'. Once I was out of the flashing trip lights and slightly insulated from the pounding beats I had a chance to evaluate how hard I was zooming. And I was zooming pretty hard. The wall in front of the urinal was rising up in sections and flowing around. I remember reading an account of a psychedelic session in which someone mentioned wallpaper 'coming out to shake hands'. The effect I am describing was much like this.
I returned to our spot and sat back down. By now my discomfort had disappeared and I was totally at ease. My earlier spate of dancing had worn me out so I was content to simply sit and trip on the scenery. As I have mentioned before, 2CB makes it very easy to simply Be. There is very little desire to do anything besides what you are currently doing.
I closed my eyes for a second and was somewhat surprised that it seemed to separate me from my surroundings. With eyes closed I was able to create a sort of 'cone of silence' around myself. By doing this and concentrating on my breathing I was able to enter a quiet, meditative state. Quite an accomplishment considering the chaos around me! With my eyes closed my visuals were very nice. Lots of closely knit complex designs. Bright colors (a lot of violets) on a mostly black background. Several times that night I was able to close my eyes and concentrate to enter that state of solitude.
Most of the people around us were tripping on MDMA. They were playing around and doing all the little 'rolling' tricks (a term I heard for the first time at this rave). I could feel all the love and positive energy pouring off of them. 2CB has a really positive empathogenic quality to it as well, and I feel this was enhanced by being in the presence of so many people Xing. In any case, I felt like everyone there was totally friendly and open. Much more friendly than at the average rock concert. It reminded me of my experience with Deadheads.
After resting for a while I was ready to dance some more (that was the reason I was there, after all). I moved out into the crowd of ravers and let the beat take me. Until just recently I have been a very self conscious dancer. I wouldn't even dance in public because of it. I have overcome this to a large degree, although I still feel a bit awkward at times. Not that night, though. The pounding beat and squawking filters overcame me and I just MOVED. Everyone around me was really grooving and the energy was just fantastic. A couple of times I closed my eyes and when I did, I was alone with the beat, floating in space as my body moved itself. This was a pretty intense sensation, but I was afraid to continue for too long for fear of falling over, knocking someone else over, etc.
While dancing with eyes closed I had a sort of 'flashback' to my mushroom trip the previous week. During that trip I had a definite impression that I was dancing somewhere in the future. I knew at the time I was on mushrooms that I was going to be attending this rave, so it's not exactly surprising. Still, I found it interesting that my previous weeks 'flashforward' was attended by an accompanying 'flashback'.
I danced until I felt like I couldn't possibly dance another second (IE, until I was exhausted) and then returned to my spot on the floor. All but one of my companions were out shaking booty on the dance floor. I sat next to Jf and asked her how her trip was going. She indicated it was going well. Near us, there was a girl dancing with two light sticks. She was an awesome dancer, and the light sticks made her infinitely fascinating. I watched her on and off throughout the night, whenever I would sit down for a rest.
I was feeling very sensual, very keyed in to my body and what felt good. People walking by and rubbing against me as I sat on the floor was a very pleasant sensation. There were many, many attractive women around me, and I was very aware of it. When I thought about it, there was a lot of sexual energy, but I didn't feel a rave was the right place to express such feelings (not to mention no one I was with was really an appropriate target). I did give L, one of my female companions, a backrub that we both enjoyed. 2CB makes me very 'touchy'. I like to touch and be touched, even if its just me rubbing my palm against my face. Touching other people you can really feel tuned into to them.
I danced whenever I had the energy, probably a total of about half of the 6 or 7 hours we were there I spent on the dance floor. That is considerably longer than I would be able or inclined to dance normally. The bees have a lot of energy, probably because of their relationship to amphetamine, but it feels very 'honest'. It isn't precisely speedy at this dosage, it just makes you feel energized.
This experience helped expand my awareness of how nonchemical means (in this case, light and rhythmic sound) can alter one's consciousness. This was an overwhelmingly positive trip. I think that if 2CB ever becomes widely available it will be very popular as a rave drug. It seems to incorporate some of the best qualities of LSD and MDMA, which are currently the two most popular rave drugs (as far as I can tell) without the side effects of either.
If you have never attended a rave, I encourage you to do so. It is an intensely fun event, with or without chemical alteration of consciousness.

Researching keywords entail the following:
Using Moz Keyword Explorer on our domain, subdomains, and pages we’ll see exactly what keywords are currently indexed for our website, enabling us to create human and index digestible content per those specific keywords.
Using either Google Keyword Planner or Moz Keyword Explorer, we’ll be judging each potential target keyword depending on its volume, difficult and click through rate - Volume indicates at the amount of traffic the keyword is getting - Difficulty or Competition indicates at the amount of brands competing for this keyword and the difficulty we’ll face in getting to first page. - The Click-Through-Rate (CTR) indicates at the percentage of clicks on organic results vs. amount of SERPs generated per that keyword .
We’ll aim to target keywords with high CTR, Low Competition, and a decent amount of traffic.
The Keyword Golden ratio (KGR) is another method for estimating keywords viability by the amount of results for the term and it’s overall monthly search volume. The lower the KGR the better.
$ \frac{All in Title}{Search Volume} \le 2.5 $
You start by searching for your keyword on google and counting how many results it has in the SERP, this is your “All in Title” parameter.
You can find the monthly search volume via Moz or Google Keyword Explorer
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is the manner in which search engines contextualize content via closely related words to the search term.
For instance when searching for Egypt, how would a search engine know whether to show:
1. News in Egypt.
2. Egyptian gods & mythology.
3. Ancient Egyptian history.
4. Travel information, flights and accomodation in Egypt.
5. Shops in Egypt for bicycles, cell phones, laptops, pet food, etc.
With LSIs such as synonyms, names, descriptions, etc. the search engine recognizes the context of how the page relates to the search term of ‘egypt’.
Thus, When we’re targeting relevant keywords in our SEO articles our content will not be crammed by our main target keyword, like in the old days (~late 90s), instead we’ll be using LSI optimized content along with main keywords for maximum SERP results.
LSIs can be found at the bottom of the google search page, search for other relevant terms to collect an array of LSI to use in your content.
Often times, when we’re just starting out with our content creation, the viability of high traffic keywords is practically non-existent, and our attempt to compete in those will just leave us in despair when there are no results after six and more weeks. For that reason, it’s best to target longtail keywords when starting out, i.e very specific search terms with 3+ words, and very low ranking competition. Once we start winning those niche terms, we’ll be able to better compete for high traffic keywords.
Longtail keywords are phrases that comprise of 3-5 words that describe what you are trying to promote. Often times, when we’re just starting out with our content creation, viability of high traffic keywords is practically non-existent, and our attempt to compete in those will just leave us in despair when there are no results after six and more weeks. For that reason it’s best to target longtail keywords when starting out, highly specific multi-word phrases tend to be far easier to rank well for the more generic single key word or double keyword phrases. For instance, very specific search terms with 3+ words, and very low ranking competition. Once we start winning those niche terms, we’ll be able to better compete for high traffic keywords.
Fortunately, Google likes sites that have more pages as it makes the site look more substantial, more natural, and even more real in the eyes of the world’s most popular search engine. Thus, make sure that every page has the unique words that emphasize your offering by using longtail keywords that you chose for each specific page. Therefore, instead of focusing on just two or three highly competitive general keywords, target the dozens or even hundreds of easy-to-rank-for long tail keywords. However, if you target phrases which are too specific, you might not get enough traffic to sustain your business.

Use Reddit for keywords researching as internet users discuss every topic in this community and the results might surprise us. Firstly, we search for topics that are relevant to our keywords and head over to that community; OR find threads about our topic in search results as people tend to ask a lot of questions. Secondly, scan the threads for potential key words which appear iteratively. Finally, there probably be something that Google Keyword Planner will never show us.
After finishing up our strategic keywords targeting we’ll begin creating content targeting those specific terms and concepts.
Google Adwords Ads are an untapped goldmine of words and phrases that are super-optimized for clicks and you can use in your page’s title and description tag. To ethically get more organic traffic for the website, there are three steps to follow:
People tend to be impatient when scanning the first page of Google and they want to read the content right now. So use the words and phrases following which emphasize fast results in order to attract clicks to your Google result:
- Today
- Right now
- Fast
- Works Quickly
- Step-by-step
- Easy
- Quick
- Simple

1. Rajnath to chair meet on Centre-State relations
In news:
- Home Minister Rajnath Singh will chair a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Inter State Council (ISC) to discuss the recommendations made by the Puncchi Commission on Centre-State relations.
About Puncchi Commission:
- The Punchhi Commission, which was notified in 2005, submitted its report in 2010.
- Its recommendations pertaining to national security, communal harmony, Centre-State financial relations and planning are expected to be discussed.
Commission observations:
- The Commission in its report had said that ‘National Security’ as a subject was not specifically listed in any of the three Lists, i.e. the Union, the State or the Concurrent List.
- The subject of Security under the Article 352 and under the Emergency Provisions in Part XVIII of the Constitution has been assigned to the Union Government. Though it is an overriding executive power of the Union, in Constitutional practice, however, ‘Security’ is a subject in which the States and the Union have a common interest and are expected to act in a co-ordinated manner.
- The Commission also said that in case of communal riots, which has a potential of causing widespread violence within a territory, “the use of Article 355 may be in order.” “A clarificatory line in this, regard, if required, may be inserted making the provision explicitly clear that the Centre can depute Paramilitary Forces to such trouble spots in exceptional circumstances even if a request from the State Government is not received. The aim has to be to ensure quick control of the situation, bring it back to normal, hand over the area to the local administration as quickly as possible and then withdraw the Central forces.
Basic Information:
Article 352. Proclamation of Emergency
(1) If the President is satisfied that a grave emergency exists whereby the security of India or of any part of the territory thereof is threatened, whether by war or external aggression or armed rebellion, he may, by Proclamation, made a declaration to that effect in respect of the whole of India or of such part of the territory thereof as may be specified in the Proclamation Explanation A Proclamation of Emergency declaring that the security of India or any part of the territory thereof is threatened by war or by external aggression or by armed rebellion may be made before the actual occurrence of war or of any such aggression or rebellion, if the President is satisfied that there is imminent danger thereof
(2) A Proclamation issued under clause (I) may be or revoked by a subsequent proclamation
(3) The President shall not issue a Proclamation under clause (I) or a Proclamation varying such Proclamation unless the decision of the Union Cabinet (that is to say, the Council consisting of the Prime Minister and other Ministers of Cabinet rank under Article 75) that such a Proclamation may be issued has been communicated to him in writing
(4) Every Proclamation issued under this article shall be laid before each House of Parliament and shall, except where it is a Proclamation revoking a previous Proclamation, cease to operate at the expiration of one month unless before the expiration of that period it has been approved by resolutions of both Houses of Parliament Provided that if any such Proclamation (not being a Proclamation revoking a previous Proclamation) is issued at a time when the House of the People has been dissolved, or place during the period of one month referred to in this clause, and if a resolution approving the Proclamation has been passed by the Council of States, but no resolution with respect to such Proclamation has been passed by the House of the People before the expiration of that period, the Proclamation shall cease to operate at the expiration of thirty days from the date on which the House of the People first sits after its reconstitution, unless before the expiration of the said period of thirty days a resolution approving the Proclamation has been also passed by the House of the People
(5) A Proclamation so approved shall, unless revoked, cease to operate on the expiration of a period of six months from the date of the passing of the second of the resolutions approving the proclamation under clause ( 4 ); Provided that if and so often as a resolution approving the continuance in force of such a Proclamation is passed by both Houses of Parliament the Proclamation shall, unless revoked, continue in force for a further period of six months from the date on which it would otherwise have ceased of operate under this clause Provided further that if the dissolution of the House of the People takes place during any such period of six months an a resolution approving the continuance in force of such Proclamation has been passed by the House of the People during the said period, the Proclamation shall cease to operate at the expiration of thirty days from the date on which the House of the People first sits after its reconstitution unless before the expiration of the said period of thirty days, a resolution approving the continuance in force of the proclamation has been also passed by the House of the People
(6) For the purpose of clause ( 4 ) and ( 5 ), a resolution may be passed by either House of Parliament only by a majority of the total membership of that House and by a majority of not less than two thirds of the members of that House present and voting
(7) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing clauses, the President shall revoke a Proclamation issued under clause (l) or a Proclamation varying such Proclamation if the House of the People passes a resolution disapproving, or, as the case may be, disapproving the continuance in force of, such Proclamation
(8) Where a notice in writing signed by not less than one tenth of the total number of members of the House of the People has been given of, their intention to move a resolution for disapproving, or, as the case may be, for disapproving the continuance in force of, a Proclamation issued under clause (l) or a Proclamation varying such Proclamation,
(a) to the Speaker, if the House is in session; or
(b) to the President, if the House is not in session, a special sitting of the House shall be held within fourteen days from the date on which such notice is received by the Speaker, or as the case may be, by the President, for the purpose of considering such resolution
(9) The power conferred on the President by this article shall include the power to issue different Proclamations on different grounds, being war or external aggression or armed rebellion or imminent danger of war or external aggression or armed rebellion, whether or not here is a Proclamation already issued by the President under clause (l) and such Proclamation is in operation
Article 355. Duty of the Union to protect States against external aggression and internal disturbance: It shall be the duty of the Union to protect every State against external aggression and internal disturbance and to ensure that the government of every State is carried on in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution
2. ‘No fresh polls if NOTA votes exceed candidates’
In news:
Context:
- Chief Justice of India rejected a public interest litigation petition suggesting fresh elections whenever the public chose overwhelmingly the “None of the Above” (NOTA) option.
Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra’s Observation:
- Holding elections in our country costs money.
- The court said a voter had the right to express his dissent by staying at home.
Supreme Court advocate Ashiwni Upadhyay opinion:
- If NOTA got the highest number of votes, it would amount to an expression of public dissatisfaction with the candidates in the fray.
- If this happened, the result should have to be nullified by the Election Commission.
- His petition had even sought a ban on the parties and their candidates who failed to NOTA in the first election from contesting the fresh polls.
Basic Information:
NOTA option
- “None Of The Above”, or NOTA for short, also known as “against all” or a “scratch” vote, is a ballot option in some jurisdictions or organizations, designed to allow the voter to indicate disapproval of all of the candidates in a voting system
- It is based on the principle that consent requires the ability to withhold consent in an election, just as they can by voting “No” on ballot questions
- When “None of the Above” is listed on a ballot, there is the possibility of NOTA receiving a majority or plurality of the vote, and so “winning” the election
- In such a case, a variety of formal procedures may be invoked, including having the office remain vacant, having the office filled by appointment, re-opening nominations or holding another election (in a body operating under parliamentary procedure), or it may have no effect whatsoever, as in India

1. S&P stands pat on its rating
In news:
- Standard & Poor’s (S&P) retained its BBB- rating for India’s sovereign with a ‘stable’ outlook.
- A BBB- rating denotes the lowest investment grade rating for India’s sovereign debt.
- S&P expects India’s economy to grow robustly over the two-year period from 2018-20 with foreign exchange reserves rising further.
- India’s GDP growth rate is among the fastest of all investment-grade sovereigns, and we expect real GDP to average 7.6% over 2017-2020.
- The rating agency estimated public sector banks would need a capital infusion of about $30 billion to make large haircuts on loans to viable stressed projects and meet the rising capital requirements under the Basel III norms.
Reasons:
- S&P cited India’s low per capita income, the sizeable fiscal deficit and high general government debt as factors that continue to weigh down the country’s credit profile and reiterated its stable outlook — indicating that the rating is unlikely to see a change in the near future.
2. Post note ban, big drop in cash deals
In news:
- RBI study claims major drop in cash payments after note-ban.
- RBI study reveals: “fundamental shift” in the payment habits in the economy-a move away from cash payments to and a wider adoption of retail electronic payments, card usage at merchant terminals and cheques.
- The demonetisation has impacted the inter-bank payments and settlement system significantly in moving cash transactions to non-cash modes of payments in three segments- retail electronic payments, card usage at PoS terminals and cheques.
- As per the study, cheque volumes and values contracted during the pre-demonetisation period but recorded positive growth during demonetisation as well as post-note-ban months.
- There was a sharp growth in card transactions at points of sale terminals for both demonetisation and post- demonetisation periods, it added.

The normalization procedure was a simple program run on all sound vectors before analyzing them. The process scales and shifts the sound vectors so they have a max amplitude of one and have a average value of zero. This removes DC component from the Frourier transform and also ensures that the amplitude of the transforms are of similar magnitude.

Aegisub / Overview
This screenshot shows the Aegisub main window with everything open:
The two most important areas are the Subtitles Grid and Edit Box.
The grid shows all the subtitle lines in the file you're working with. Lines are marked with different colours depending on their properties. For example, lines with green background are selected. Lines with blue background are marked as comments and won't be shown on screen. Lines with a light yellow background are visible on the current video frame. Lines with red text overlap in time with a currently selected line. Click a line here to select it for editing.
The edit box is where you can edit the text and other properties of a subtitle line directly. While you can enter times in the time boxes here, you will rarely need to, as it's much faster to time lines using the audio box. You can also time to video. You can use the formatting toolbar to insert formatting codes into the current line. The four "AB" buttons change the colours of different elements of the line. Change the text for the subtitle and press Enter to commit the changes and go to the next line. Holding Ctrl while pressing Enter will stay on the line instead of going to the next, but still commit the changes.
Use the audio box to time subtitles (synchronize them to audio) in a fast and accurate way. The audio display can show the audio you have loaded in two different ways, waveform and spectrum, the screenshot above shows it in spectrum mode.
The video box allows you to see how the subtitles will look on the video, but it also allows you to select specific video frames a subtitle line should start/end on, and it allows you to use the mouse to position, rotate and crop a subtitle line to for example match an onscreen sign in the video.
Finally, there are three bars in the program: the status bar is used to show status messages to you, and the menu bar and tool bar are used to access Aegisub's myriad of tools:


Before continuing please follow the steps below to configure your database connection and run the necessary migrations.
{{name}}.db.schema
namespace of your application.
project.clj
under the :ragtime
key with your database name and login.
lein ragtime migrate
in the root of the project to create the tables.


Users
You can create and manage database users using the Amazon Redshift SQL commands CREATE USER and ALTER USER, or you can configure your SQL client with custom Amazon Redshift JDBC or ODBC drivers that manage the process of creating database users and temporary passwords as part of the database logon process.
The drivers authenticate database users based on AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) authentication. If you already manage user identities outside of AWS, you can use a SAML 2.0-compliant identity provider (IdP) to manage access to Amazon Redshift resources. You use an IAM role to configure your IdP and AWS to permit your federated users to generate temporary database credentials and log on to Amazon Redshift databases. For more information, see Using IAM Authentication to Generate Database User Credentials.
Amazon Redshift user accounts can only be created and dropped by a database superuser. Users are authenticated when they login to Amazon Redshift. They can own databases and database objects (for example, tables) and can grant privileges on those objects to users, groups, and schemas to control who has access to which object. Users with CREATE DATABASE rights can create databases and grant privileges to those databases. Superusers have database ownership privileges for all databases.
Creating, Altering, and Deleting Users
Database users accounts are global across a data warehouse cluster (and not per individual database).
-
To create a user use the CREATE USER command.
-
To create a superuser use the CREATE USER command with the CREATEUSER option.
-
To remove an existing user, use the DROP USER command.
-
To make changes to a user account, such as changing a password, use the ALTER USER command.
-
To view a list of users, query the PG_USER catalog table:
select * from pg_user; usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil | useconfig ------------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+----------- rdsdb | 1 | t | t | t | ******** | | masteruser | 100 | t | t | f | ******** | | dwuser | 101 | f | f | f | ******** | | simpleuser | 102 | f | f | f | ******** | | poweruser | 103 | f | t | f | ******** | | dbuser | 104 | t | f | f | ******** | | (6 rows)

JERRY MAGUIRE (1996) A film review by Nick Schaden Copyright 1997 Nick Schaden
I have to admit it: I'm a man who doesn't trust Tom Cruise movies anymore.  I'm sure many of you will be pleased to learn that my faith in Tom Cruise has at least been moderately restored, "Jerry Maguire" is a high quality film. It's fresh, funny, and original, and for a movie that doesn't attempt to be anything but a solid comedy, it's very successful.
 As you can probably guess, Maguire is thus a SUCCESSFUL agent, with an attractive fiancee (Kelly Preston) , big career, big money, what more could you want? Part way through the movie, Maguire doesn't by into his lifestyle. He wants sports agents to deal the old fashioned way, with more attention to clients, less money, less sleaze. Late at night he types up his ideas, prints several copies and sends it to all the agents in the firm. Sure enough, Maguire's life soon falls apart, his fiancee leaves him, he gets fired from his job and ends up with only one client (Cuba Gooding Jr.). However, soon things look better. He falls in love with his hired help (Renee Zellweger)...you get the picture. Thus lies one of the inherent strengths of the movie, it's has a witty, invigorating, and wonderfully original plot.
To boot, the acting is great by the supporting cast (we'll get to Mr. Cruise later). Cuba Gooding Jr. plays the perfect, ego-driven football player. Renee Zellweger is a fresh new love interest on the movie scene. Also worth a mention is Kelly Preston, while having a very under-developed and two dimensional character she plays a great role as the gold-digging power driven ex fiancee of Maguire.
Also, most importantly, the movie is funny and romantic. Watching that famous "show me the money" sequence is just a riot, and many other scenes come off pretty well in the laughs department too. To boot, as much as I sometimes hate Tom Cruise, you really can feel the passion between Cruise and Zellweger during the movie, and I really felt wanted to see the couple together.
However, the movie does has problems, the most notable being none other than Tom Cruise himself. Cruise gets a relatively easy role as Jerry Maguire (being a power hungry sports agent) and for the first part of the movie, where the sleaze and that trademark grin of Cruise's really falls into play, Cruise works Maguire like a charm. However, whenever Cruise leaves the comfortable zone and tries playing more demanding character roles (emotional, passionate, frustrated, etc.) he falls apart, generally acting like retreads from his previous movies - incredibly artificial on the surface. Through much of the movie he doesn't have HEART in the movie, you see that flashy grin, the man may look cool on the outside, but Cruise just can't seem to touch me with the right emotion.
Overall, while every so often the movie does skip and stumble a bit, the great acting and fresh plot make "Jerry Maguire" a big hit in this reviewers' mind.
Nick's Rating: +3 (recommended)
*** Movies rated from -4 (worst) to +4 (best), 0 = average film ***

Computer technology is changing every day. In ancient times, our club was more focused on hardware. Past few years ago, we were more concerned about software and STEM. However, recently students are more interested in eSports. Therefore we have started to introduce the eSports competition at school since 2019. Besides of eSports, we also find that drone programming is the trend for young people. We are going to provide the drone programming course in the future.

Easiest way to implement a
Middleware
, with a single function that gives you all you need, and from which you can return anEffect
.A
MiddlewareEffect
is a function providing an incomingAction
,State
andContext
(dispatcher source, dependencies, cancellation closure) and expecting as result one or multiple effects that will eventually result in outgoing actions.An
Effect
is a publisher or observable type according to your reactive framework. It can be a one-shot effect, such as an HTTP request, an observation that gives back multiple values over time, such as CoreLocation or NotificationCenter, a Timer, a pure value already known or even an empty effect using the.doNothing
constructor, if there’s no need for side-effects.Effect
cannot fail, and its element/output/value type is theOutputAction
generic of this middleware. The purpose is running tasks, creating actions as they respond and returning these actions over time back to the Store. When the Effect completes, it should send a completion event so the middleware will cleanup the resources.Cancellation: effects can optionally provide a cancellation token, which can be any hashable value. If another effect arrives in the same middleware instance having the very same cancellation token, the previous effect will be cancelled and replaced by the new one. This is useful in case you want to keep only the last request of certain kind running, but cancel any previous ongoing request when a new is dispatched. You can also explicitly cancel one or many effects at any point. For that, you will be given a
toCancel
closure during every action arrival within theContext
(third parameter). Feel free to call cancellation at that point or even later, if you hold thistoCancel
closure.Examples
Using Promises
let someMiddleware = EffectMiddleware<ApiRequestAction, ApiResponseAction, SomeState, Void>.onAction { action, state, context in switch action { case .users: return .promise { completion in DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3) { completion(ApiResponseAction.someResponse("42")) } return AnyDisposable() // Or a way to cancel the ongoing task } case .somethingIDontCare: return .doNothing } }
From Publisher
typealias ApiFetchMiddlewareDependencies = (session: @escaping () -> URLSession, decoder: @escaping () -> JSONDecoder) let apiFetchMiddleware = EffectMiddleware<ApiRequestAction, ApiResponseAction, SomeState, ApiFetchMiddlewareDependencies>.onAction { action, state, context in switch action { case .users: return context.dependencies.urlSession .dataTaskPublisher(for: fetchAllUsersURL()) .map { data, _ in data } .decode(type: [User].self, decoder: context.dependencies) .map { users in ApiResponseAction.gotUserList(users) } .replaceError(with: ApiResponseAction.errorRetrivingUserList) .asEffect case .user(id: UUID): // .. case .somethingIDontCare: return .doNothing } }.inject((session: { URLSession.shared }, decoder: JSONDecoder.init))
Cancellation
See moretypealias ApiFetchMiddlewareDependencies = (session: @escaping () -> URLSession, decoder: @escaping () -> JSONDecoder) let apiFetchMiddleware = EffectMiddleware<ApiRequestAction, ApiResponseAction, SomeState, ApiFetchMiddlewareDependencies>.onAction { action, state, context in switch action { case let .userPicture(userId): return context.dependencies.urlSession .dataTaskPublisher(for: fetchPicture()) .map { data, _ in ApiResponseAction.gotUserPicture(id: userId, data: data) } .replaceError(with: ApiResponseAction.errorRetrivingUserPicture(id: userId)) .asEffect(cancellationToken: "image-for-user-\(userId)") // this will automatically cancel any pending download for the same image // using the URL would also be possible case let .cancelImageDownload(userId): return context.toCancel("image-for-user-\(userId)") // alternatively you can explicitly cancel tasks by token } }.inject((session: { URLSession.shared }, decoder: JSONDecoder.init))
Declaration

Partition with format ‘ext4’. This partition is working to store TealinuxOS system.
for example we make 50 GB or 50000Mb partition. Right click on the disk that you want to shrink. Why 50GB? Because 50GB is ideal, and minimal size for linux is 20GB.Partition with format
linux-swap
. This partition works to help RAM manage memory for swap recondtion partition.
TealinuxOS Installation Process
- After you have bootable, make sure you connect the bootable to your device.
- Restart your device to start TealinuxOS installation process.
- Change booting option to your bootable. you can enter to BIOS and change BIOS mode to Legacy (if using UEFI/EFI mode).
- Then change boot priority USB HDD(): to the first place if you use flashdisk or change boot priority CD(): to the first place if you use CD.
- Save your settings and restart.
- Wait a moment until it appears the menu as the following :
- Choose
Try TealinuxOS
to try or Install TealinuxOS` to install directly. If you choose install TealinuxOS then you can skip step 6 and 7 - Wait for a while until TealinuxOS Desktop appears as follows :
If you agree, you can try all the features on TealinuxOS before installing. Then choose Install TealinuxOS icon on the desktop to install - You will see the interface as below:
You are asked to choose the language to further use, choose OK to continue. - Next you are asked to choose to download third party software or not. Click ok to go on.
- Next you are prompted to select the installation procedure as follows :
- Install TeaLinuxOS Alongside Them
This option can save file like document, etc. - Erase disk and Install TeaLinuxOS
This option will erase all data on disk. (This option is reserved for those of you who do not want dual boot, because this option will delete all the existing OS and data.) - Something else
This option is for you who want dual boot. Because in this option you can set the partition that we created earlier. Pilihan ini dikhususkan bagi anda yang ingin dualboot.
Pilih something else lalu klik ok.
- Install TeaLinuxOS Alongside Them
- You will get an interface like the following :
As you can see on the interface, there is 2 partition that you made on previous step and that is/dev/sda1
which sized 50GB and/dev/sda5
which is 2GB in size. For information the partition name may differ between this tutorial and your device. - Change the partition type
/dev/sda1
by clicking the change button. Set it toext4
, format the partition and move mount point to ‘/‘. Choose OK to continue. format partisi dan juga arahkan mount point ke/
. Klik OK untuk lanjut. - CChange the partition type
/dev/sda5
by clicking the change button again, and set it toswap area
. Choose OK to go to next step. - There will be agreement screen as follows :
Click continue to proceed. - You will be asked to choose the time and place.
- You are asked to choose keyboard type also.
- You have to fill your personal data.
- Wait a few moments until the installation process is complete.
- Restart and you can enjoy TealinuxOS

The Trail to Rails
Week 8
What is Ruby on Rails?
November 7, 2014
Everyone in my Dev Bootcamp cohort is excited to become a real, bona fide Ruby on Rails developer. And while we’ve been working long bleary-eyed hours during Phase 0 to get the basics of Ruby down, we haven’t touched Rails yet. Taking a step back, how many of us really know what Rails is? We may understand that Rails is the framework for many apps programmed with Ruby. But digging deeper reveals there is a lot more to Rails that will make our lives much easier in the near future as we develop our first apps.
Rails is full-stack add-on to the Ruby language that can be installed to give your programs a framework. Essentially, that framework saves you from having to write out a lot of the normal architecture that is needed with most web apps. Instead, you are able to focus on the unique pieces of code that make your app what it is. In this way, Rails reduces the amount of boilerplate code that is repeated over and over, enables much faster development, and allows the flexibility to be agile and adapt. For these reasons, many popular web apps including Twitter and parts of Amazon and eBay are written with Rails.
Agility and adaptability is one of the main benefits that Rails developers tout. Programmers often don’t know the entirety of how their final project will look when they first start out. Instead, they learn about the program’s functionality and add features as they go along. Without Rails, making these changes along the way would require re-writing the code’s “scaffolding,” or framework. With Rails, the “scaffolding” can remain untouched, making a much more agile, adaptable program. In this way, it’s also easier to get new engineers up to speed on a project they’re brought in to – if they know Rails, they don’t have to learn the program’s unique framework before they can start working.
Rails operates with a few basic principles built into it. The first is the principle of “convention over configuration.” This means that there are implicit behaviors defined by the Rails framework that you don’t have to specify. For example, database tables are automatically mapped to objects that share the same name, so you don’t have to write the code to link them together unless you give them unconventional names. Secondly, the “don’t repeat yourself” principle is very important to Rails. For example, manual testing can be very repetitive, but Rails has automated testing to save time and effort. In fact, Rails lends itself well to test driven development, allowing developers to write their tests first and develop according to the needs specified in tests.
Essentially, these principles mean that Ruby on Rails, more than other languages, has a “right” way to do things effectively. Rather than having many ways to “force” something to work, like in other languages, Ruby on Rails has a clearly defined way to accomplish things. Because of this, Ruby on Rails is more scalable, readable, and easily understood, since it doesn’t rely on conventions invented by each individual programmer but instead on programming “best practices.”

7/3/1999
I was taking bupropion for 2 weeks before this experience. I did not take bupropion on this day. Had some GHB the night before. I was taking 1.25 mg deprenyl each morning. I have had 2C-b before and since, but never like this.
I am writing this at 10:30 pm after the experience.
12:50 pm - I am by myself in a park. I take 20 mg 2C-B, and hike up a small hill to a secluded wooded area. It is a calm, warm summer day.
1:40 pm - not much happening yet.
2:00 pm now the 2C-B is kicking in. IN the following description, I was mostly having an emotional experience, these words are a later attempt to describe it in words. There was not much conceptualizing during the experience.
Energies of nature are so intense! I see a beautiful scene, birds singing, everything is ecstacy oozing out of each sound and image,
perfection of being what it is.....
The entire purpose of the universe up to now is to make this sound of a poison oak leaf rubbing against a stem of purple needle grass in the soft breeze now. Everything has a sound of pmm, or prrr, or pwww in it. There is an electric vibration in the air. Birds are in tune with it. A special bird comes and sings so beautifully, it is here every day in this bliss....
I touch an oak tree blasted by lightning. Sadness, I felt some presence had touched this tree before, in a loving way. Now it is going away, very sad. I tap on the tree trunk with my fingers, and tune into the sounds. Very drum-like, it resonates in the woods. I see a skunk. When it gets scared, its tail is very beautiful, like a feather. It hears me tapping on the tree. A squirrel in a tree above me. It is yellowish with orange by its neck. It looks at me and is eating something. It doesn't squawk or chatter. Flys in a swarm make a swirling motion. Sound of the wind in trees moves from place to place. Sometimes I hear it in the distance. There were spirits there, and death....
Each grass plant, insect, bird, wind, and sun knows its entire evolution from the beginning, and is rejoicing in that knowledge, and that it presently exists for the sole purpose of expressing this presentation, this ecstatic play of perfect absolute beauty. The intention of being at that moment was to embody the greatest beauty and peace and joy possible. It was like I arrived at the plaec we always look for, the most relaxing vacation, the most exciting movie, the most beautiful scenic spot, the most intimate friendship,
all desires for beauty, and peace, love, and joy were fufilled beyond any possibility of imagining, nothin disappointing, just could not be better in any way. Completely satisfying. I guess it was a +4.

The knowledge synthesized during the SafetyCube project is listed here, regarding the effects of risks and measures, the causes and impacts of serious injuries, and the most common accident scenarios. Select the related box to view and download the SafetyCube knowledge documents.
The SafetyCube project synthesized existing knowledge on road safety risk factors and countermeasures in comprehensive Synopses; these are listed below per risk factor / measure, colour code (assigned to reflect the strength of evidence on the effect of the risk factor or measure), and the road safety area concerned (behaviour, infrastructure, vehicle).
| ID | Title | Topic | Domain | Color Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {{s.id}} | {{s.title}} | {{s.main_topic}} | {{knowledge.getDomain(s.wp)}} | {{s.colorCode}}: - |
The SafetyCube Accident Scenarios Synopses synthesize macroscopic and in-depth crash data, to provide a complete picture of the causes and impacts of main crash categories. Each Synopsis includes detailed data on the crash frequency and severity related to the accident scenario in different countries, the crash and injury characteristics, and the pre-accident configurations for different sub-scenarios. For results concerning the risk factors and measures related to each scenarios, go to the Accident Categories entry point of the SafetyCube DSS Search.
Serious road traffic injuries have recently been adopted as an additional road safety indicator. The EU High Level Group on Road Safety defined serious traffic injuries as road casualties with an injury level of MAIS3+. Within SafetyCube, practical guidelines have been developed to help countries in determining the number of MAIS3+ road casualties. A summary of these guidelines can be found here.
A literature review and analysis of additional case studies showed that road traffic injuries can have major consequences for casualties (and their families). Moreover, they also pose a burden to society. Within SafetyCube, the burden of non-fatal serious injury has been calculated for road traffic casualties in a number of countries. Finally, by means of a survey, information on the costs of serious injuries were collected. A summary of the main findings concerning health impacts and costs can be found here.
Groups of road traffic casualties with relatively many MAIS3+ casualties per fatality and/or a relatively high burden of injury for MAIS3+ casualties were identified. The four most relevant groups were analysed: cyclists, 0-17 year olds, spinal cord injuries and knee/lower leg fractures. Contributing factors and injury mechanisms for these groups of MAIS3+ casualties are discussed here.


Search is still under development and may not return all expected results. Please review the patient record manually to ensure accuracy.

Ansible nginx-hardening role released
The next part of server hardening with Ansible is released today: The ansible-nginx-hardening role.
This role hardens your existing nginx installations (version 1.0.15 or later).
This time we tried to make sure that the hardening role works with popular nginx installation roles, so if you use any of the following (great!) roles to manage your nginx, you can use our hardening role:
We also tried to provide good documentation on the various settings and think that it turned out very well, but see for yourself.
This role is now the fourth Ansible role, joining ssh-hardening, os-hardening and mysql-hardening.
Of course we not only maintain this role for Ansible, there exist implementations for Chef and Puppet as well!
We’re supporting this role on Debian- and Enterprise Linux-based operating systems, but we’ll also try our best in helping you run the role on other systems! Just open up an issue or pull request or join our Gitter Chatroom to chat directly with us!
You can find the role on Github and on Ansible Galaxy.
Be sure to follow us on Twitter for the latest updates.

Any data file opened or created in SPSS Statistics is a dataset. It may or may not have a dataset name. A name allows it to be referred to in syntax in order to make it the active dataset or to perform other operations involving datasets. A dataset that does not have a name will be closed if a different dataset is made active.
A dataset name is automatically assigned when data are opened via the user interface. However, the name may be different each time the data file is opened. This dialog provides a way to assign a permanent dataset name to an SPSS data file (.SAV or .ZSAV). That name will be applied if the data file is opened using this dialog or is opened with the STATS GETSET DATASET command.
This dialog provides two possible actions:
Assign permanent dataset name Use this section to assign a permanent name to the active dataset that will be saved when the dataset is saved as an SAV or ZSAV file.
Dataset Name Source If the active dataset already has a dataset name, you can set that as the permanent name. Alternatively, choose the second button and specify a permanent name in the Dataset Name field. The dataset name within the current session will also be changed to the specified name.
Open a File Use this section to open a SAV or ZSAV file that has a permanent dataset name attribute and assign that dataset name in the current session. If the file does not contain a permanent name, a name will be assigned for the session.
• You can use File > Display Data File Information > External File to see the saved name, which will be stored as the custom attribute named PermanentDSName.
Dataset Name Conflicts If the permanent name is already in use for another dataset when the file is opened, the conflict will be resolved according to this setting. Choose the first button to not assign a name and the second to assign the name anyway, removing it from the other dataset, which will then not have a name and will be closed without saving any changes. Reassigning the name for the currently active dataset is not considered a conflict.
This dialog generates syntax for the STATS GETSET DATASET
extension command. To get the syntax help, use
STATS GETSET DATASET /HELP.
or in Version 23 or later press F1 on the command name in the Syntax Editor.
This command requires the Python Essentials extension command from the SPSS Community website


"Three months?!"
"Can't be that soon, right?"
"Right?!"
Damn.
Hi, it's me again. It's been long since I last sat down to write. I haven't been punctual with my posts and my only hope of redemption is that my punctuality with code makes up for it somehow.
With GSoC deadlines drawing to a close, it makes sense to have a post describing the fruits of this quarter-year of labour. Let's start with two big news pieces.
If this feels like a self-congratulatory piece patting myself on the back, I apologise. It's also my GSoC final submission work product report.
🎉 Vocabulary is ready for consumption!
It's been that way for almost a couple of weeks, actually. I just wasn't able to take time out for a blog post.
The rate at which Vocabulary components have received compatibility-breaking changes has continuously gone down week after week. Code has been refactored, yes. Stylesheets have been cleaned up, yes. Documentation has been updated and at times even rewritten, yes. But in terms of functionality, the components are stable and solid enough to act as a foundation for the apps to come. The external API for the components has matured considerably.
It's been about twelve weeks since the first commit to CC Vocabulary way back in May. As with everything else in software, Vocabulary has moved fast. Under the mentorship of Hugo Solar and over the course of 300+ commits and 17+ alpha releases, Vocabulary has gone from 1 component that just said "Hello World!" to over 33 components that are capable of replacing over half the entire codebase of the frontend for CC Search. Talk about kids growing fast!
You get all the components a typical web application needs, and then some. It's
got the standards like InputField
and Button
, some unconventional ones like
Definition
and Quote
, and some components that only our own tailored design
library could afford like Header
and Footer
.
Here's a list and there's a living styleguide.
Elements
- Heading
- Paragraph
- ImageView
- Button
- ChoiceField
- InputField
- SelectField
- SwitchField
- Rating
- ProgressBar
- Statistic
- LicenseIconography
- Shield
Layouts
- Container
- Section
- Grid
- GridCell
- Tabbed
- TabbedPane
- Table
- TableCell
Patterns
- Card
- Definition
- Header
- Footer
- LicenseBadge
- BrandImagery
- Quote
- Locale
- NavigationLink
- NavigationLink
- Trail
- TrailCrumb
Vocabulary also offers some Stylus mixins, token collection in Stylus, SASS and JSON and some handy utils too. That's about it.
I know what you are thinking and yes, all of that, including the designs and revisions, was accomplished in two months and a half.
Quality
The code follows the Standard code style and the Vue official style guide. In addition, Vocabulary has its own style guide that has rules right down to the order of rules in the CSS. This ensures that code is sensibly written, easily understandable and as little in debt as possible.
Usage
CC Vocabulary can be installed via npm
and used with a build process...
$ npm install @creativecommons/vocabulary
...or used directly in the browser inside script
tags.
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://unpkg.com/@creativecommons/vocabulary"></script>
Even JS is optional (may break in some cases, horrifying so).
<link rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Demo
Of course I'm not going to hype you up and leave you hanging! Here's a pen to show you what's possible. Actually, since the pen uses the UMD version, what it shows is the lower end of what's possible.
See the Pen CC Vocabulary UMD demo by Dhruv Bhanushali (@dhruvkb) on CodePen.
Contributions invited
Also to make the repository friendlier to incoming developers a number of issues have been dug out, reported and labelled. This provides incomers, like myself three months ago, a channel to familiarise themselves with the codebase well before Outreachy and the next Summer of Code.
GSoC work product
Repository: https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-vocabulary/
Commits: https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-vocabulary/commits/master
Issues: https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-vocabulary/issues
Contributors: https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-vocabulary/graphs/contributors
The proposal listed a number of components to be developed as a part of the program. Over twice that number of components have been implemented.
In other news...
🎉 Search is largely integrated with Vocabulary!
This was the subordinate goal of my Summer of Code proposal. Surprisingly enough, once the components were ready it was only a matter of finding code in CC Search's frontend and swapping it out with Vocabulary components. Oh, the tests have pained me so. Literally every single test broke down and had to be manually updated.
The end result of the toil under the guidance and review of Breno Ferreira is a search experience that feels polished and looks beautiful and works elegantly. It also enables another half a billion people to use the platform and sets the groundwork to take that number higher.
The bundle size is lower and code manageability is higher thanks to decoupling of low level components from the high level experience. Can you ask for more? How about more consistent icons?
The least I can do is attach screenshots of the new CC Search to give you a sneak peek into what Creative Commons apps, starting with Search of course, will look like in the future. These are screenshots, not mockups.
Sneak peek
Yes, CC Search has largely also been translated to Hindi, making it accessible to the Internet-savvy chunk of the half a billion people who speak the language in the country with the second-largest Internet enabled populace (first if you factor in democracy and freedom).
These pages too have been internationalised.
Did you spot the new icons? I made a choice to adopt Font Awesome for Vocabulary as it is a modern, scalable and lightweight alternative to finding a cohesive set of icons from the trove of the Noun Project and bundling them ourselves. Plus Font Awesome provides Vue components! What's not to like.
Status
I'm not sure if there is enough time in the GSoC period for the integration PR to be reviewed and merged but I'm not going anywhere and neither are you. You can follow the integration as it happens here.
If you're enthusiastic you can clone the branch and run the setup on your machine. Experience it for yourself, how about that?
GSoC work product
Repository: https://github.com/dhruvkb/cccatalog-frontend/
PR: https://github.com/creativecommons/cccatalog-frontend/pull/413/
Commits: https://github.com/creativecommons/cccatalog-frontend/pull/413/commits
The proposal aimed to replace a lot of indigenous components with Vocabulary counterparts. Internationalisation and a consistent icon system are just me going above and beyond.
😴 TL;DR?
Summarising, CC Vocabulary is now mature and is getting married to CC Search. GSoC was a successful matchmaker.
❤ Postremo
"I think... I feel good about it."
GSoC has been a thoroughly refreshing, enriching and educating experience. Without a shred of doubt I am taking away a lot from this exercise (notably, the knowledge of the existence of CSS custom properties). My only hope is that I have given back a comparable amount of output to the community that gave an outsider like me a chance to work on something this impactful in the long-term.
I can't wait to continue my journey post-GSoC and see what the core team and the next batch of interns creates for, and using, Vocabulary.
GSoC may be over, but CC and I have a long way to go.
~Signing off, for now~


THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1999 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
Few enough people know that THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY is based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 novel of the same name. Fewer still know they already made one movie about Mr. Ripley, a little French number called PURPLE NOON (1960).
If you happen to be one of a handful who has seen NOON, don't feel like THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY is retreading old ground. It's actually different. In fact, it's very different. So much so that with the exception of a few brief scenes and the overall theme, these two films could be based on different source material. What's really astonishing is that both are excellent films.
Tom Ripley (Damon) is introduced innocuously enough. He's a New York piano player/maintenance worker/bathroom attendant who, after borrowing a Princeton-crested jacket, suddenly finds himself propelled to Italy in search of Dickie Greenleaf (Law) at the best of Dickie's father (Rebhorn). Tom arrives soon enough, finding Dickie living the slacker dream, sailing, drinking, and carousing -- when he's not spending time with steady girl Marge (Paltrow).
Ripley's plan to emulate Dickie is apparent from the start, but it isn't until free spirit Dickie inevitably pushes the clingy Tom away that Ripley figures he'll take over Dickie's life altogether. Then the fun really starts.
Matt Damon plays a sociopath with uncanny -- and quite spooky -- ease. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tom Ripley become a recurring antihero -- like a Hannibal Lecter should be. Highsmith wrote five books about Mr. Ripley, so there's plenty of source material to work from. Sequels or no, Damon is so dead-on scary that Hollywood likely shudders to be alone with him.
 For starters, she vacillates between her standby British accent and her plain-old Gwyneth voice, neither of which really fit her character. Worse is that she has little to do in the film but often go hysterical, which doesn't help the movie.  It's just too bad she had to muck up a perfectly good movie like this one.
Jude Law and the rest of the supporting cast, particularly Hoffman as a boorish American friend who shows up midway through the movie, are good or great. The music, dominated by period (1950's) jazz songs, is also well-suited for the disturbing thematics of the movie. And let's not forget director Anthony Minghella (THE ENGLISH PATIENT), who captures the beauty of Italy while coaxing some great performances from his actors.
On the sour side, MR. RIPLEY's homosexual themes are awkward at best, and a few plot points (mainly Ripley setting up his alibi) seem to have been lost to editing, despite a 2:30 run time. As a thriller, this may seem long, but the mood is perfect and the film rarely drags. Altogether, it's a grand psychodrama. Perfect, you know, for the holidays.
