Long Strangle:
A long strangle is a neutral strategy to profit from a big price change – either up or down – in the underlying stock. The strangle is an improvisation over the straddle. The improvisation mainly helps in terms of reduction of the strategy cost, however as a trade-off the points required to breakeven increases.
Strategy
Note that the options belong to the same underlying, have same expiration date, have the same strike price and are in the same ratio (1:1).
The OTM options are cheaper than the ATM options and hence, the strategy cost is less compared to that of a straddle.
The calculations are as follows:
Net Premium = Net Debit = Premium of Call Option + Premium of Put Option
Maximum Loss = Net Premium Paid
Maximum Profit = Unlimited
Upper Breakeven = Strike Price + Net Premium
Lower Breakeven = Strike Price – Net Premium
A long strangle is established for a net debit (or net cost) and profits if the underlying stock rises above the upper break-even point or falls below the lower break-even point. Profit potential is unlimited on the upside and substantial on the downside. Potential loss is limited to the total cost of the strangle.
The effect of the option Greeks is similar to that on the Long Straddle
Benefits of the strategy:
Drawbacks of the strategy:
Comparison of LONG STRADDLE and LONG STRANGLE:
Cost and Maximum Risk: Higher in Straddle than in Strangle which means more number of strangles can be purchased than straddles for a given capital.
Breakeven Points: Closer for Straddle than for Strangle
Time Decay: Long straddles are less sensitive to time decay than long strangles. Thus, when there is little or no stock price movement, a long straddle will experience a lower percentage loss over a given time period than a comparable strangle.
Short Strangle:
A short strangle is a neutral strategy which aims to profit from little to no price movement in the underlying stock and is opposite to the long strangle.
Strategy
Note that the options belong to the same underlying, have same expiration date, have the same strike price and are in the same ratio (1:1).
A short strangle is established for a net credit (or net receipt) and profits if the underlying stock trades in a narrow range between the break-even points. Profit potential is limited to the total premiums received. Potential loss is unlimited if the stock price rises and substantial if the stock price falls.
The calculations are as follows:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑇𝑀 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 + 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑂𝑇𝑀 𝑃𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝑈𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑑
𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 = 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 – 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚
𝑈𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 = 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 + 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚
The effect of Greeks is similar to that of Short Straddle.
Benefits of the strategy:
Drawbacks of the strategy:
Comparison of SHORT STRADDLE and SHORT STRANGLE:
Profit: The premium received and maximum profit potential for selling one strangle are lower than for one straddle.
Breakeven Points: Closer for Strangle than for Straddle which means there is a greater chance of making 100% of the premium received if a short strangle is held to expiration when compared to a Straddle.
Time Decay: Short strangles are less sensitive to time decay than short straddles. Thus, when there is little or no stock price movement, a short strangle will experience a greater percentage profit over a given time period than a comparable short straddle.
 All options have the same expiration date.
A long iron condor spread is the strategy of choice when the forecast is for a stock price move outside the range of the highest and lowest strike prices. Unlike a long strangle, however, the profit potential of a long iron condor spread is limited. Also, the commissions for a condor spread are higher than for a strangle. The trade-off is that a long iron condor spread has breakeven points closer to the current stock price than a comparable long strangle.
Strategy
A long iron condor spread is established for a net debit, and both the potential profit and maximum risk are limited. The maximum profit potential is realized if the stock price is above the highest strike or below the lowest strike at expiration. The maximum risk is realized if the stock price is equal to or between the strike prices of the long options on the expiration date, in which case all options expire worthless.
In the example above, one 95 Put is sold, one 100 put is purchased, one 105 Call is purchased and one 110 Call is sold, so the four strike prices are equidistant. However, it is normal for the distance between the long call and long put to be greater than the distance between the long and short options of the same type. For example, an 85-90 Bear Put Spread might be combined with a 105-110 Bull Call Spread to create a long iron condor in which the distance between the strike prices of the long options is 15 points while the distance between the strike prices of the bull and bear spreads are 5 points.
The calculations are as follows:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 – 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑡
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = 𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 (𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙 – 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙,𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑢𝑡 −𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑃𝑢𝑡) – 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑡
𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 = 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑢𝑡 – 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑡
𝑈𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 = 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙 – 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑖𝑡
Option Greeks:
Delta:
Delta is at or near zero at initiation. It tends to bottom out below zero when the underlying price is below the lower strike and peak out above zero when the underlying price is above the higher strike. That said, while Delta does become non-zero as the underlying price moves, it does not deviate much from zero. As such, changes in the price of the underlying do not have much impact on this strategy because of the way it is structure
Gamma:
Gamma is positive and is at its highest point in between the two middle strikes. As the underlying price moves away from the midpoint of the two middle strike and approaches either the lower or the higher strike, Gamma tends to move into negative before bottoming out around these extreme strikes.
Vega:
Vega is positive and is at its highest point between the two middle strikes, meaning the positive impact of a rise in volatility is the greatest around the middle strikes. Volatility benefits as long as the position in unprofitable. That
said, Vega turns negative when the position becomes profitable, meaning rising volatility now starts hurting the position.
Theta:
Theta is negative and is at its lowest point between the two middle strikes, meaning time decay hurts the most around the middle strikes. Time decay hurts the position as long as it is unprofitable. That said, Theta turns positive when the position becomes profitable, meaning time decay now starts benefiting the position.

Drawbacks of the strategy:
Short Iron Condor:
A short iron condor is a neutral strategy
which aims to profit from neutral stock price
action between the strike price of the short options
with limited risk.
A short iron condor spread is a four-part strategy consisting of a bull put spread and a bear call spread in which the strike price of the short put is lower than the strike price of the short call. All options have the same expiration date.
 Each of these options would have the same underlying instrument and expiration date. Usually, the lower strike and the lower middle strike Puts are OTM Puts, whereas the higher middle strike and the higher strike Calls are OTM Calls. At the time of initiating this strategy, the underlying price is usually somewhere between the two middle strikes. Usually, all the four options are equidistant from each other. That said, this is not a hard and fast rule.
A Short Iron Condor is a net credit strategy. In terms of the risk reward profile, a Short Iron Condor is quite attractive. In absolute terms, the maximum potential profit under this strategy tends to be larger than the maximum
potential loss. As a result, this strategy can be initiated by intermediate option traders as well. Also, as we shall later see, Short Iron Condor has a similar payoff structure as a Long Call Condor or a Long Put Condor. However, there are differences. The major difference is that Long Call/Put Condor are net debit strategies, while a Short Iron Condor is a net credit strategy.
An iron condor improvises a short strangle by plugging in the open ends. Essentially, it is like hedging a short strangle. This decreases the risk of the strategy, but the tradeoff is lower profits.
The calculations are as follows:
𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 = 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐵𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑃𝑢𝑡 𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 (𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑)
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡 = 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠 – 𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡
𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝑆𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑 – 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡
Option Greeks:
Delta:
Delta is at or near zero at initiation. It tends to peak out above zero when the underlying price is below the lower strike and bottom out below zero when the underlying price is above the higher strike.

Gamma:
Gamma is negative and is at its lowest point in between the two middle strikes. As the underlying price starts moving away from the midpoint of the two middle strikes and approaches either the lower or the higher strike, Gamma tends to move into positive before peaking out around these extreme strikes.
Vega:
Vega is negative and is at its lowest point between the two middle strikes, meaning the negative impact of a rise in volatility is the highest around the middle strikes. Volatility hurts as long as the position in profitable. That said, Vega turns positive when the position becomes unprofitable, meaning a rise in volatility now starts helping the position.
Theta:
Theta is positive and is at its highest point between the two middle strikes, meaning time decay is most helpful around the middle strikes. Time decay benefits the position as long as it is profitable. That said, Theta turns negative when the position becomes unprofitable, meaning time decay now starts hurting the position.
Benefits of the strategy:
Drawbacks of the strategy:
Max Pain:
Max pain, or the max pain price, is the strike price with the most open contract puts and calls and the price at which the stock would cause financial losses for the largest number of option holders at expiration.
According to the Max Pain Theory, almost 90% of the options expire worthless. While this number varies among different books and sources, the main idea is that a huge number of the options expire worthless. Based on this statement, a set of logical deductions can be made which in turn are used to predict a price at which the market is most likely to expire.
The deductions are as follows:
This means that the option prices are driven to a point which causes least pain to the option writers. Based on the open interest, we can calculate this price. If this theory holds, then the market would expire at that price. As we can calculate the position of maximum pain, we can essentially know the expiry strike price. Note that this value changes on a daily basis and thus, calculating it on the day of expiry gives the best result.
Steps to Calculate Max Pain:
This level, at which least amount of money is lost by option writers is the point at which maximum pain is caused to option buyers. Therefore this is the price at which the market is most likely to expire.
Plotting the above values on a graph we get,
As you can see, the 7800 strike is the point at which option writers would lose the least amount of money, so as per the option pain theory, 7800 is where the market is likely to expire

PHISH WWW Site
PHISH Pheatures
- The PHISH package is open-source software, distributed under the
Berkeley Software Development (BSD) license. This effectively means
that anyone can use the software for any purpose, including commercial
redistribution.
- The PHISH library is a small piece of code (few 1000 lines), with a
compact API (couple dozen functions). It has a C interface, so that
it can be easily called from programs written in a variety of
languages (C, C++, Fortran, Python, etc). The library can be compiled
on any platform with a C++ compiler.
- The PHISH library comes in two flavors with the same API: one based on
message passing via the MPI library, the other based on sockets via
the open-source ZMQ library. This means you need one or both of
these packages (MPI, ZMQ) installed on your machine to build a minnow
(process) that uses the PHISH library.
- PHISH nets (programs) consist of one or more collections of minnows
(schools), hooked together in defined communication patterns, to
encode an algorithm or computation, The toplogy of a PHISH net is
specified in an input script, which is text files with a simple
command syntax.
- PHISH minnows can define one or more input and output ports for
sending and receiving datums. This allows schools of minnows to be
hooked together in a variety of communication patterns.
- PHISH minnows can be written to operate on datums of various types
(e.g. integers or floating-point values or strings). This allows
minnows to be re-used in various PHISH nets.
- A PHISH wrapper (pun intended) for Python is provided, so that minnows
that call the PHISH library can be written in Python. Minnows written
in different languages (e.g. C++ or Python) can be used
interchangeably in a PHISH input script.
- The PHISH library exchanges data between minnows with strict data
typing rules, so that minnows can be written in different languages
(e.g. C++ vs Fortran vs Python) or run on different machines (4-byte
vs 8-byte integers).
- PHISH input scripts are processed via a tool called
bait.py tool which can also run them as an MPI
or socket-based program.
- PHISH input scripts use a hook command which
allows data to be exchanged in various patterns between schools of
minnows. This enables parallelism in data processing to be easily
expressed and exploited.
- PHISH nets can be run on a single processor, so long as the OS
supports multiple processes. They can be run on a multicore box.
They can be run on any distributed-memory or shared-memory platform
that supports MPI or sockets. Or they can be run on a geographically
dispersed set of machines that support socket connections.
- A PHISH net can look for incoming data on a socket port. It can
likewise export data to a socket port. This means that two or more
PHISH nets can be launched independently and exchange data. This is a
mechanism for adding/deleting minnows (processes) to/from a
calculation on the fly.
- PHISH minnows are included that wrap non-PHISH applications that read
from stdin and/or write to stdout. This allows such an application to
be used in a PHISH net and exchange data with other minnows.


Section 8.6 Percents
Percents will be used heavily in this module. The percent formula is one that will be used throughout:
You can use this formula when you are missing the part, the whole, or the percent.
Example 8.6.1.
In 2013-14, there were approximately 49 million students enrolled in public schools. Out of those students, 5.3% were suspended or expelled. How many students were suspended or expelled?
In this case, we know the whole (49 million) and the percent (5.3), but we do not know the part. Therefore,
so \(part = 0.053 \cdot 49=2.597\text{,}\) so about 2.6 million students were suspended or expelled in 2013-14.
Example 8.6.2.
In 2015-16, 43.42% of the students, or 21,700,551 students, were in schools with police officers. How many total students were enrolled in schools in 2015-16?
Now we know the part (21,700,551) and the percent (43.42), but not the whole, so in this case,
and \(whole = \frac{21700551}{0.4342} = 49978238\text{,}\) so there were 49,978,238 students enrolled in public schools in 2015-16.
Example 8.6.3.
In 2015-16, 61,812 students were arrested out of 49,977,268 who were enrolled nationally that year. What percentage of the student population was arrested that year?
We know the part (61,812) and the whole (49,977,268), but not the percent, so
or \(0.00124 = percent/100\text{,}\) which means that
so 0.124% of all students were arrested.
Note that the part does not have to be smaller than the whole. For example, 130 is 130% of 100. While in real life we cannot give more than 100% effort, there are situations in which percentages are over 100, for example if comparing two numbers (your pay may be 115% of your friend’s pay) or calculating change (for example, the price of coffee may have gone up 200%).
Percents are often used to represent change. For example, you may read that the number of suspended students in a school increased by 13% in a year. How is this change calculated?
Example 8.6.4.
There were 60,170 school arrests in 2013-14 school year, and 61,812 arrests in 2015-16. The total change in the number of school arrests between these two years is 61,812-60,170=1,642. To know what percent increase this is, we need to compare to the original number, in this case 60,170:
We convert a decimal to percent by multiplying by 100: since \(part/whole = percent/100\text{,}\) it means that \(percent = part/whole \cdot 100\text{.}\) Therefore, 0.027= 2.72%, so the number of arrests went up by 2.72%.
More generally, the formula for percent change from old value to new value is
where \(end value - start value\) is total change, and dividing by start value gives percent change. Note that end value does not have to be bigger than start value, in which case we have a decrease and not an increase. For example, if the number of arrests went down from 61,812 to 60,170, then the total change would be -1,642, which is a 1,642/61,812=0.0266=2.66% decrease (since \(0.0266 \cdot 100=2.66\)). Note that in this case we divided by 61,812 because that was the starting value, and the percent decrease is smaller than the percent increase, because the change of is the same in both cases, while the starting value is different.

Previous experience:
My first experience with this tryptamine, not including a 4-5 mg taste, consisted of a 12 mg dose followed at T+1:30 with 6 mg for a total of 18 mg. The booster dose did not significantly intensify the trip, but made it last about 7-8 hours. I felt like the trip was definitely less intense than an eighth of Cubensis. There were some decent visuals and a great body high, but it was not too difficult to carry on a conversation. I would say that this experience put me at a solid ++ and then a light +++ after smoking some pot. For me, pot doesnít directly make the trip more intense but it helps me surrender control and let the trip take me where it will. I can let my mind wander much more easily.
The experience:
I had been debating the dosage for quite some time, but finally settled on 22 mg for myself. I had tried a few phenethylamines, mushrooms, 4-ho-dipt, and salvia, but other than salvia, never really had a totally overwhelming experience. My tripmates took 22, 18, and 10 mg respectively. I knew that this experience would probably blow my other 18 mg experience away, but I could not have anticipated what happened. This is an account of what happened two nights ago.
9:30 P.M
Ingested chemical. Tastes terrible, but that could be partly due to the 100% ethanol that it's dissolved in.
9:50 P.M
As we are starting to feel the initial effects, my roommate's dog is going nuts, barking and growling. I have no idea what it was sensing, but it definitely knew something was up. My stomach begins to rumble a bit. Pre-trip anxiety is setting in.
10:00 P.M
We are all quite anxious. One friend pukes. I feel slight nausea but nothing unusual. The body high is getting stronger by the minute. Hands are tingling and getting a bit clammy. Iím ready to get on with the trip. Soon the anxiety is replaced with excitement as the chemical takes hold. We are laughing at everything.
10:15 P.M
Go outside for a smoke. I donít smoke cigarettes, but it feels good to take a few puffs of a black and mild. It is a beautiful, almost cloudless night, but itís probably in the 30s. The trip is hits me hard as I am looking out across the rolling hills behind our house. Stars are wiggling and keep getting brighter when I stare. The faint clouds make a swirl of psychedelic colors against the black sky. The trees seem to be getting a little bit of a personality. I feel like the tree behind me is bending over to grab us, but I just find this funny.
We all feel like we are looking through a fish eye lens when we look up. There is a buzz in the air and vibrations are apparent everywhere we looked. My hand holding the cigar keeps getting numb and I have to switch repeatedly. I can tell I am cold but itís a very unusual sensation, like I am being reminded by my senses that Iím cold but I donít really care.
10:45 P.M
We go back inside. Debate where to chill and listen to music. Oneís bedroom has some really trippy tapestries on the wall, as well as a carpet, which we decide is crucial to a good trip. Visuals are quite strong, definitely like mushrooms, with maybe a slightly sharper edge. Mindfuck is getting stronger still. Start off listening to some My Morning Jacket (amazing band) and later switch to Peter Tosh. Smoke some pot. We keep drifting off into our own inner worlds, but the one tripping the lightest keeps wanting to talk.
For a minute I find this slightly annoying. But it is fun to listen to a conversation while my mind is making weird associations and connections. Words and ideas spark these very vivid mental images. Me and the other 22 mg tripper are having some trouble following a conversation, but we are enjoying the trip immensely.
11:45 P.M
The other three decide to go back out for another smoke, but I go to my room and listen to Pink Floyd, The Wall. If the previous hour was hard to put into words, this is where it is almost impossible. I was laying on my bed, tripping, but I didnít feel like it was too hard, then I found that I was thinking about myself from a third person perspective. I was analyzing my life, but it wasnít mine. I was slightly disturbed, but decided to see where this would take me.
I didnít actually go anywhere, but this was definitely the closest Iíve had to an OBE. My thoughts were slightly outside of my head, and though I wasnít seeing myself from the third person, I was thinking from it. I will not go into too much detail here because I donít know how to describe some of the things that happened, but when I met back up with the other three, I felt like I had seen some other part of reality, outside of the one we live in. It was like I was viewing reality at a slightly different frequency or angle, which was letting me see something bigger.
I don't think it was ego loss, but I did feel like I was catching a glimpse of Jung's collective unconscious or something. I never quite connected with this other reality or completely stepped out this one, but it was definitely something I hadn't experienced before. I would revist this thought later.
12:30 A.M
The experience in my room by myself was weird, but does not occupy my thoughts too much for the next few hours. We go back to the room with the soft carpet and trippy tapestries that we keep commenting on how they look like underwater sea creatures. At one point the tapestry was swallowing my friend, but I was just laughing. I pointed it out and everyone else agreed. We listened to some Flaming Lips and the two that werenít tripping quite as hard were having a conversation. The friend that had taken 18 mgs kept thinking he could talk sensibly, but he would keep forgetting the point of what he was talking about and end up going on tangents that didnít make much sense. Iíd try to keep up, but my short term memory was pretty much shot.
1:45 A.M
Go outside again. Each time seems like itís a journey to put on a hat and coat and make it out to the backyard which overlooks a 50 acre park. Two of us lie in hammocks and comment on the trees, which all seem to be moving and trying to tell us something. As usual, it ends up with us all laughing hysterically, about who knows what.
2:15 A.M
We are back inside. My mind feels exhausted. I have trouble making sense of a complete sentence, much less a topic of conversation. I feel like I am just existing, and I hear a trail of words, but can only hang on to a few at a time. There were a few points when I wanted to add a comment or ask a question, but I couldnít figure out why I wanted to say something, and had to ask how my question related to what we were talking about.
It was fun to try to work through this thick confusion to make sense of everything, but eventually became tiring. This may sound uncomfortable, but I didnít mind. It was peaceful to just sit and listen to music (now Modest Mouse) and hear sounds but put no effort into processing them.
4:30 A.M
So much happens over the course of the night, but much of my recollection is blurry. When I finally attempted to sleep, I was revisited by the fact that I had seen something that humans simply were not supposed to see. I had ventured outside of this reality and now had to cope with the fact that our reality was not the only one. The problem now, as I lay down in bed with my girlfriend, was that my sense of rationality was returning, and it was telling me that this was impossible. A drug induced experience cannot open the door to another reality.
I apologize to others who disagree with this. I finally understood how psychedelics can potentially be a model of acute psychosis. I had become temporarily schizophrenic! For a while, no matter what I told myself about the experience being the result of a psychedelic, I could not convince myself that it wasnít real. Luckily, this phase passed, and the rational part of me regained control and I was able to go to sleep around 5:30. This was an amazing experience, a strong +++. I still consider myself a novice in terms of psychedelics, but I learned quite a bit that night. I will continue to treat them with respect and I feel that doing them too often is sure to have some serious consequences.

The CL-postgres module implements a rather low-level interface for communicating with a PostgreSQL database server. It is part of the Postmodern library, but can be used separately.
Connecting
class database-connection
Objects of this type represent database connections.
function open-database (database user password host &optional (port 5432) (use-ssl :no))
→ database-connection
Create and open a connection for the specified server, database, and user. use-ssl may be :no, :try, :yes, or :full; where :try means 'if the server supports it', :yes means 'expect a CA-signed cert from the server, for any host name', and :full 'means expect a CA-signed cert for the supplied host name'. When it is anything but :no, you must have the CL+SSL package loaded to initiate the connection.
On SBCL and Clozure CL, the value :unix may be passed for host, in order to connect using a Unix domain socket instead of a TCP socket.
function close-database (database-connection)
Close a database connection. It is advisable to call this on connections when you are done with them. Otherwise the open socket will stick around until it is garbage collected, and no one will tell the database server that we are done with it.
function reopen-database (database-connection)
Re-establish a database connection for a previously closed connection object. (Calling this on a connection that is still open is harmless.)
function database-open-p (database-connection)
→ boolean
Test whether a database connection is still open.
method connection-meta (database-connection)
→ hash-table
This method provides access to a hash table that is associated with the current database connection, and is used to store information about the prepared statements that have been parsed for this connection.
method connection-parameters (database-connection)
→ hash-table
This method returns a mapping (string to string) containing all the configuration parameters for the connection.
variable unix-socket-dir
On SBCL, when using the :unix keyword as host argument when creating a connection, this variable determines the directory in which CL-Postgres will look for the socket file.
variable ssl-certificate-file variable ssl-key-file
When using SSL (see open-database), these can be used to provide client key and certificate files. They can be either NIL, for no file, or a pathname.
function wait-for-notification (database-connection)
This function blocks until a notification is received on the connection. The PostgreSQL LISTEN command must be used to enable listening for notifications.
Querying
function exec-query (database-connection query &optional (row-reader 'ignore-row-reader))
→ result
Sends the given query to the given connection, and interprets the results (if there are any) with the given row-reader. If the database returns information about the amount of rows affected, this is returned as a second value.
function prepare-query (database-connection name query)
Parse and plan the given query, and store it under the given name. Note that prepared statements are per-connection, so they can only be executed through the same connection that prepared them.
function exec-prepared (database-connection name parameters &optional (row-reader 'ignore-row-reader))
→ result
Execute the prepared statement by the given name. Parameters should be given as a list. Each value in this list should be of a type that to-sql-string has been specialised on. (Byte arrays will be passed in their binary form, without being put through to-sql-string.) The result of the executing the statement, if any, is interpreted by the given row reader, and returned. Again, the number or affected rows is optionally returned as a second value.
function unprepare-query (database-connection name)
Close the prepared statement by the given name. This will free resources and allow the name to be associated with a new prepared query.
method to-sql-string (value)
→ (values string needs-escaping)
Convert a Lisp value to its textual unescaped SQL representation. Returns a second value indicating whether this value should be escaped if it is to be put directly into a query.
You can define to-sql-string methods for your own datatypes if you want to be able to pass them to exec-prepared. When a non-NIL second value is returned, this may be T to indicate that the first value should simply be escaped as a string, or a second string providing a type prefix for the value. (This is used by S-SQL.)
variable silently-truncate-rationals
When a rational number is passed into a query (as per to-sql-string), but it can not be expressed within 38 decimal digits (for example 1/3), it will be truncated, and lose some precision. Set this variable to nil to suppress that behaviour and raise an error instead.
variable query-log
When debugging, it can be helpful to inspect the queries that are being sent to the database. Set this variable to an output stream value (standard-output, for example) to have CL-postgres log every query it makes.
variable query-callback
When profiling or debugging, the query-log may not give enough information, or reparsing its output may not be feasible. This variable may be set to a designator of function taking two arguments. This function will be then called after every query, and receive query string and internal time units (as in (CL:GET-INTERNAL-REAL-TIME)) spent in query as its arguments.
Default value of this variable is 'LOG-QUERY, which takes care of QUERY-LOG processing. If you provide custom query callback and wish to keep QUERY-LOG functionality, you will have to call LOG-QUERY from your callback function
function log-query (query internal-time)
This function is default value of QUERY-CALLBACK and logs queries to QUERY-LOG if it is not NIL.
Reading values
CL-postgres knows how to convert commonly used PostgreSQL data types to Lisp values. This table shows the mapping:
| PostgreSQL | Lisp |
| smallint | integer |
| integer | integer |
| bigint | integer |
| numeric | ratio |
| real | float |
| double precision | double-float |
| boolean | boolean |
| varchar | string |
| text | string |
| bytea | (vector (unsigned-byte 8)) |
| array | array |
The mapping from PostgreSQL types (identified by OID numbers) to the functions that interpret them is kept in so-called SQL readtables. All types for which no reader is defined will be returned as string values containing their PostgreSQL representation.
variable sql-readtable
This variable is used to choose the current readtable. For simple use, you will not have to touch this, but it is possible that code within a Lisp image requires different readers in different situations, in which case you can create separate read tables.
function copy-sql-readtable (table)
→ readtable
Copies a given readtable.
function default-sql-readtable ()
→ readtable
Returns the default readtable, containing only the readers defined by CL-postgres itself.
function set-sql-reader (oid function &key table binary-p)
Define a new reader for a given type. table defaults to sql-readtable. The reader function should take a single argument, a string, and transform that into some kind of equivalent Lisp value. When binary-p is true, the reader function is supposed to directly read the binary representation of the value. In most cases this is not recommended, but if you want to use it: provide a function that takes a binary input stream and an integer (the size of the value, in bytes), and reads the value from that stream. Note that reading less or more bytes than the given size will horribly break your connection.
function set-sql-datetime-readers (&key date timestamp timestamp-with-timezone time interval table)
Since there is no widely recognised standard way of representing dates and times in Common Lisp, and reading these from string representation is clunky and slow, this function provides a way to easily plug in binary readers for the date, time, timestamp, and interval types. It should be given functions with the following signatures:
- :date (days)
Where days is the amount of days since January 1st, 2000.
- :timestamp (useconds)
Timestamps have a microsecond resolution. Again, the zero point is the start of the year 2000, UTC.
- :timestamp-with-timezone
Like :timestamp, but for values of the 'timestamp with time zone' type (which PostgreSQL internally stores exactly the same as regular timestamps).
- :time (useconds)
Refers to a time of day, counting from midnight.
- :interval (months days useconds)
An interval is represented as several separate components. The reason that days and microseconds are separated is that you might want to take leap seconds into account.
Row readers
Row readers are a way to read and group the results of queries. Roughly, they are functions that perform the iteration over the rows and cells in the result, and do something with the returned values.
macro row-reader ((fields) &body body)
→ function
Creates a row-reader, using the given name for the variable. Inside the body this variable refers to a vector of field descriptions. On top of that, two local functions are bound, next-row and next-field. The first will start reading the next row in the result, and returns a boolean indicating whether there is another row. The second will read and return one field, and should be passed the corresponding field description from the fields argument as a parameter.
A row reader should take care to iterate over all the rows in a result, and within each row iterate over all the fields. This means it should contain an outer loop that calls next-row, and every time next-row returns T it should iterate over the fields vector and call next-field for every field.
The definition of list-row-reader should give you an idea what a row reader looks like:
(row-reader (fields) (loop :while (next-row) :collect (loop :for field :across fields :collect (next-field field))))
Obviously, row readers should not do things with the database connection like, say, close it or start a new query, since it still reading out the results from the current query.
macro def-row-reader (name (fields) &body body)
The defun-like variant of row-reader: creates a row reader and gives it a top-level function name.
method field-name (field)
→ string
This can be used to get information about the fields read by a row reader. Given a field description, it returns the name the database associated with this column.
method field-type (field)
→ oid
This extracts the PostgreSQL OID associated with this column. You can, if you really want to, query the pg_types table to find out more about the types denoted by OIDs.
function list-row-reader (socket fields)
→ list
A row reader that builds a list of lists from the query results.
function alist-row-reader (socket fields)
→ alist
A row reader that returns a list of alists, which associate column names with values.
function ignore-row-reader (socket fields)
A row reader that completely ignores the result of a query.
Bulk Copying
When loading large amounts of data into PostgreSQL, it can be done significantly faster using the bulk copying feature. The drawback to this approach is that you don't find out about data integrity errors until the entire batch is completed but sometimes the speed is worth it
function open-db-writer (db table &optional columns)
Opens a table stream into which rows can be written one at a time using db-write-row. db is either a connection object or a list of arguments that could be passed to open-database. table is the name of an existing table into which this writer will write rows. If you don't have data for all columns, use columns to indicate those that you do.
function close-db-writer (writer &key abort)
Closes a bulk writer opened by open-db-writer. Will close the associated database connection when it was created for this copier, or abort is true.
function db-write-row (writer row-data)
Writes row-data into the table and columns referenced by the writer. row-data is a list of Lisp objects, one for each column included when opening the writer. Arrays (the elements of which must all be the same type) will be serialized into their PostgreSQL representation before being written into the DB.
Conditions
Opening or querying a database may raise errors. CL-postgres will wrap the errors that the server returns in a lisp condition, and raise conditions of the same type when it detects some problem itself. Socket errors are let through as they are.
condition database-error
The type of database-related conditions. For errors that you may want to catch by type, the cl-postgres-error package defines a bucket of subtypes used for specific errors. See the cl-postgres/package.lisp file for a list.
method database-error-message (database-error)
→ string
A short message associated with this error.
method database-error-detail (database-error)
→ string
A longer description of the problem, or NIL if none is available.
method database-error-code (database-error)
→ string
The error code PostgreSQL associated with this error, if any. See the PostgreSQL manual for their meaning.
method database-error-query (database-error)
→ string
The query that led to this error, or NIL if no query was involved.
method database-error-cause (database-error)
→ condition
The condition that caused this error, or NIL when it was not caused by another condition.
function database-error-constraint-name (database-error)
→ string
For integrity-violation errors, returns the name of the constraint that was violated (or nil if no constraint was found.)
function database-error-extract-name (database-error)
→ string
For various errors, returns the name provided by the error message (or nil if no such name was found.)
condition database-connection-error
Subtype of database-error. An error of this type (or one of its subclasses) is signaled when a query is attempted with a connection object that is no longer connected, or a database connection becomes invalid during a query. Always provides a :reconnect restart, which will cause the library to make an attempt to restore the connection and re-try the query.
The following shows an example use of this feature, a way to ensure that the first connection error causes a reconnect attempt, while others pass through as normal. A variation on this theme could continue trying to reconnect, with successively longer pauses.
(defun call-with-single-reconnect (fun) (let ((reconnected nil)) (handler-bind ((database-connection-error (lambda (err) (when (not reconnected) (setf reconnected t) (invoke-restart :reconnect))))) (funcall fun))))
condition postgresql-notification
The condition that is signalled when a notification message is received from the PostgreSQL server. This is a WARNING condition which is caught by the WAIT-FOR-NOTIFICATION function that implements synchronous waiting for notifications.
method postgresql-notification-channel (postgresql-notification)
→ string
The channel string of this notification.
method postgresql-notification-payload (postgresql-notification)
→ string
The payload of this notification.
method postgresql-notification-pid (postgresql-notification)
→ integer
The process ID of the process that sent the notification.


Valverde keen for Barcelona to move on from criticism after Levante defeat
Ernesto Valverde says Barcelona must swiftly move on from the criticism which greeted the end of their seven-match winning run by beating Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
Barca know victory over the Czech champions on Tuesday evening will be a major step towards the knockout stages of the competition.
The in-form LaLiga leaders have been flying in recent weeks but were brought back down to earth at the weekend with a surprise 3-1 loss at Levante.
Every defeat for the Catalan club brings increased scrutiny on manager Valverde and he is eager for an immediate return to winning ways to stave off pressure.
“We were on a very good run, it seems that defeats always seem to come at the worst times,” Valverde told Barca’s website
“But things happen very quickly in football and we’ve got a chance to turn things around very quickly – let’s hope we can do that.
“It’s a very important game. After a defeat, there is always criticism, we need to put that behind us.”
Barcelona, whose cause will not helped by the absence of injured forward Luis Suarez, sit top of Group F and will move on to 10 points from four matches with victory over Slavia at the Nou Camp.
Depending on the result of Borussia Dortmund’s meeting with Inter Milan in Germany, that could be sufficient to all but guarantee Barca a place in the last 16.
The Catalan club laboured to a 2-1 success in Prague less than a fortnight ago and returned to Spain indebted to goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen following a string of fine saves.
Valverde believes Slavia, who are bottom of the group with a single point but have an 11-point lead at the top of the Czech league, can approach the game with little pressure.
“We know that the points tomorrow are very important because they’ll give us 10 points, leave Slavia way behind and, depending on what Inter and Dortmund do, I’m sure that we’ll be in a very strong position,” said Valverde.
“They are a team that likes to take the initiative.
“In their own league, they are winning by quite a large margin, they like to attack with a lot of players, that makes them very dangerous.
“They have got nothing to lose, they will try to get a result against us tomorrow.”
Slavia remain unbeaten in their domestic league and on course to comfortably defend their title.
Head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky says Barcelona cannot afford a second successive defeat and expects his team to undergo a “baptism by fire”.
“We will make everything to present ourselves in the same way as usual but there are always two armies on the pitch and it’s also about what the other army allows you and what can you make them do,” said Trpisovsky, according to his club’s website.
“But we want to stick to the game we are used to. It will be baptism by fire for us on Tuesday and we are determined to do maximum to play as we have played at home.
“Barcelona will try to redeem the loss at Levante. It’s the Champions league game and no big club can afford to lose twice in a row.
“They will be careful after the defeat and they will try to do their best in front of their home crowd.”
The visitors will be missing centre-back David Hovorka after he last week suffered cruciate ligament damage.

I’m Arjun Devarajan, a graduate of Duke University who has built multiple startups and who is interested in building ethical ones.
My Take on Startups
I’ve always been interested in startups, but as I’ve gotten more involved with them over time, I’ve discovered a lot of issues that people in the industry rarely seem to discuss.
Many of these have to do with the inherent flaws of a late-stage capitalist society that encourages the rapid growth of businesses at the explicit expense of peoples’ rights and livelihoods. That being said, given that this is how society in the US operates in 2021, I believe one of the most effective ways to dismantle this incredibly unbalanced power dynamic is by being an employer who treats their co-workers ethically.
My last startup experience, especially, provided me with a new frame of reference on what kind of company and workplace I’m interested in running in the future, and what version of employership I plan to offer (the next time I’m someone’s employer).
Startups
First, some background: here’s a collection of startups I’ve worked on over the years.
My Other Experiences
Here are some ads I’ve created to promote various projects.
Here are some videos I’ve written and edited for fun.
Here are some pieces of content I’ve run, at various points, on a recurring basis.
Here are some of the web projects on or for which I’ve worked or helped lead the product vision.
Here are some examples of customers who have been really excited about the projects I’ve worked on.
My Thoughts
These are some thoughts on what I consider to be necessary in a workplace that truly cares for its employees’ well-being and the improvement of society.

This project stems out of my interest and interest of many outdoor enthusiasts to find amazing and undiscovered areas to go camping. There are several resources currently to locate interesting campsites, but they depend on user entered campsite information and curation.
What if we could scan satellite imagery and predict where good campsites will be?
For a more detailed overview of this project, check the slides here: https://paultanger.github.io/CampsitePredict/ The techniques used here can be utilized for other purposes but initially the focus has been on using machine learning techniques with known campsites to characterize the satellite features of “good” campsites. A model was trained using over 8,000 labeled campsites in the US from the iOverlander mobile app based on satellite images of the GPS coordinates. This model reached 87% accuracy, and was still accurate even on new unseen data. The purpose of this site to host those predictions and enable people to curate and assist the model to improve even further. {% endblock %}

Over the weekend I received my new Arduino MKR-WiFi-1010 (the ABX00023) that I purchased from Amazon, as seen here along with my Atmel ICE
:
Warning: after writing this blog I realized that using the Atmel ICE can end up causing problems with the bootloader when later attempting to upload a sketch via the serial port! This was
easily resolved
(everything is easy, when you know how), but beware.
Update: I wrote this
blog on Burning Bootloader from Visual Studio with Atmel Ice for the Arduino MKR WiFI 1010
.
Ironically, I found this board shortly after commenting to
Peter Scargil that I really didn't think anything could replace the Espressif ESP8266 (other than the ESP32) since it has been around for so long and has such a strong community and momentum. I found the 1010 shortly after seeing a tweet from MicroChip regarding the ATMega4809
. (an 8-bit Arduino, 16MHz ceramic resonator, WiFi board using the ECC608 Crypto-Authentication chip for $44.90). The MKR1010 (32 bit!) was listed as "related product". Now, I knew the MKR-1010 board had been released some time ago - but at the time I seem to think it was rather expensive and didn't think much more about it. However at $29.90 - that's just too appealing to pass up. Amazon prime to the rescue for me gizmo addiction: delivered the next day at no extra change! Thank you Prime!
It has been some time since my last blog post. I have a draft blog of some things that I learned with
my new CNC
, but it is rather messy at the moment, so instead this weekend I am back to debuggers and this MKR-1010 board.
One of the main points of interest with this board - is that in addition to the SAMD21 (specifically the ATSAMD21G18A) it
also has an on-board ESP32 ... and the MicroChip ECC508 Crypto-Authentication chip! Although I really like the ESP8266 boards, I will say that JTAG debugging was not exactly the easiest and most robust, as noted here and here
. One thing about the Atmel ICE is that in Atmel Studio, it is a fairly robust and reliable hardware debugger.
So fresh out of the gate, I was
disappointed that I did not have a cable
for (what I thought) was the Single Wire Debug (aka SWD) connector:
|
|
|
Comparing a 50 mil connector to what I thought was the SWD connector. |
Note that black connector not a 0.1 pin spacing, it is already the small 50 mil connector that is on the Atmel ICE. The white connector below
is even smaller
than that!
I spent an embarrassingly long time scouring the internet for anything I could find on "Arduino MKR 1010 SWD Debugging Connector". I could not even determine what that tiny white connector is called so that I could order one. I even
posted a plea for help on the Arduino MKRWiFi1010 forum
,
Eventually, I found
this post
where someone was asking about connecting the Atmel ICE SWD to the MKR-ZERO. Although I had no indication the 6 pads on the underside of my MKR-1010 were actually the J2 SWD pins, I was hopeful that the folks at Arduino would have standards and consistency.

Keep in mind I had no experience, no knowledge of the MKR-Zero, however the MKR WiFi 101 is just a bit similar, once you see them both, eh?
|
|
| MKR-1010 board from the Arduino site |
So although I was confident and hopeful that I could finally get the Atmel ICE to connect, I was still stuck with 6 pads and no holes. I really wish the Arduino folks would have made a more debug-friendly connector.
Fortunately, I had some of those snap-apart headers on hand. I bent two sets of 3 pins...
|
|
|
Header with some pins bent for the surface-mount SWD pads. |
...and stuck them both into a 6-pin cable connector to hold them in the proper position for soldering:

Preparing the home-made surface mount headers in a 6 pin connector. |
Be sure that the longer header pin is not pulled through when bending them: Not only do you want to have a good length for electrical contact, but you also don't want them too long on the PCB. Yes, there's a solder mask layer that should act as an insulator, but I would not count on it. Make sure that pins are only as long as the solder pads. I needed to trim mine.
Note that using sets of three will increase overall mechanical strength - but as they are surface mounted, care should be taken when inserting & removing connections.
So the reality of annoying future breadboard use becomes quite apparent once the header is soldered in place. Clearly the designer prioritized the Arduino logo over the practicality of pad header placement:

I'm thinking if I plug it into a breadboard, I'll just use some of those stackable headers. Still, this will leave many more mechanical connections and many more places for connection problems.
From the MicroChip / Atmel ICE docs - these are the pins used for SWD on the SAMD21 chips:
|
|
| SAMD Pins for SWD Debugging with Atmel ICE (from the User Guide) |
Upon reading the pinouts and looking at the cables and adapters that I have for the Atmel ICE, I realized that my only option was to use that handy-but-annoying Squid Cable.

Here's what the board looks like connected to the Atmel ICE:

|
|

I sure wish a simple 10-pin header would have been installed on the MKR boards - that would connect directly to the Atmel ICE debugger. Well, no worries.. good to go!
There's a MKR-Wifi-1010 tutorial on actually using the WiFi
here on GitHub. I actually used the WiFi tutorial page
to get started. I took the ino file and pasted it into the Arduino IDE and compiled to ensure everything was working properly. Then I created a new Atmel Studio project from the ino.
|
|
|
Atmel Studio setup step 1. |
And on the next screen, select the location of the ino project from the Arduino IDE:
|
|
|
Atmel Studio setup step 2. |
Edit Feb 2019: If you don't see the board listed, then launch the Arduino IDE and ensure it is installed via Tools - Board - Board Manager:
Type "MKR" to shorten the list:
/Edit... back to Atmel Studio:
Connection in Atmel Studio is pretty straightforward, just select the Atmel ICE and ensure "SWD" is used:
|
|
| Atmel Studio SWD Debugger Settings for Atmel ICE |
After that... voila! Click the Debug menu and step in, set breakpoints, and more!
One thing that is not super obvious when debugging with the Atmel ICE, is most sample code is "wait forever until serial port available" during setup. Well, the Atmel ICE is not the serial port!
{% include code_header.html %}
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
}
So be sure to connect something to the serial port! The serial monitor in Atmel Studio is a bit wonky. I simply use
putty
.
See the Disassembly tab to view the assembly language generated from the source code:
The Processor button show interesting information:
Also cool to browse and inspect I/O registers:
This is SO much better than a zillion serial.println statements!
Well, I hope this saves you the hassle I encountered when trying to use the Atmel ICE hardware debugger with the Arduino MKR-WiFi 1010.
I've added a
MKR-WiFi-1010 GitHub Repository
with the source code and relevant pictures and documentation.
So ya, perhaps this Arduino will take over the Espressif chips ... but as there's an Espressif on-board this guy, perhaps that's not a fair comparison. Still - it is a quite interesting board at a somewhat reasonable price.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ****
"Well, Jones, at least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time!" remarks Indiana Jones's sidekick, the smart-mouthed and hard-drinking Marion Ravenwood, after the bar she owns is burned to the ground, thanks to Indy. And Steven Spielberg in 1981 knew how to show an audience a good time with an old fashion kids' adventure yarn, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Think of it as a high quality version of one of the old movie serials that kids used to get every Saturday at the theater before the double feature. (Too young to know what a movie serial was like? Check out my recent review of the 1949 serial BATMAN AND ROBIN -- not to be confused with this summer's blockbuster by the same name.)
The plot of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK is utter balderdash. Indiana Jones enters into a life-or-death struggle with the Nazis to find the long lost, biblical Ark of the Covenant.  It makes as much sense as most kids' stories, and this one is so brilliantly and engrossingly executed, who cares how ridiculous it is? (My wife and I were once chased in Austria by a boulder the size of the one from the famous scene in the film. So even the seemingly ludicrous can sometimes be true.)
Harrison Ford, in a role arguably as important to his career as that of Han Solo, plays Indiana Jones as an everyman, but one who has the unbounded courage of a man possessed of a golden vision.   ("Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?") Bruised and battered, he survives each bout, just barely, so he can fight again. The film must have provided gainful employment for scores and scores of stunt actors as action sequences come in increasing intensity as the show progresses.
Although not nearly his equal, Karen Allen, in the best role of her long but undistinguished career, is his partner Marion. Allen has a charming toughness that can be strong and sexy at the same time. Why her career never took off remains a mystery. In more recent times Linda Fiorentino has demonstrated some of these same macho but alluring qualities, and she too has had trouble breaking through into significant stardom.
The film's other roles are less important, and only Paul Freeman, as the too milquetoast villain Rene Belloq, gives a disappointingly bland performance.
John Williams's rousing but playful music and the imaginative script by BIG CHILL writer Lawrence Kasdan, based on a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman, combine to make a fun romp. A roller coaster of a film, it loves to play tricks on its audience. In one scene Marion has been kidnapped and is hidden in a large basket. Indy goes looking for her only to enter a marketplace full of identical baskets.
The cinematography of stone images filmed in warm blues and browns is punctuated by bright flashes of lightning representing the wrath of God. The cataclysmic ending descends too far into the realm of an overstaged horror show but is effective nevertheless. Actually, Saturday movie serials were never this good, but we'd like to believe they were.
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK runs 1:55. It was rated PG since I think there was no PG-13 at the time. Today, a show with this much violence would be firmly in the PG-13 category. Depending on how well they handle scary scenes like snakes crawling through skeletons, kids as young as 7 may be able to handle the film. My son Jeffrey, age 8, thought the movie was "good but pretty bloody," and he wished there would have been less blood. I strongly recommend this adventure to you and give it a full ****.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

This package contains the class use to exchange messages according to the
Basic Interconnexion Protocol (BIP).
- TcpServer and TcpClient enable to exhange message over TCP.
- Message is used to contains the exchanged messages.
- MsgManager enable to store the received messages, to process them later.
Some information about BIP for the message exchange :
Data that transits over any link with service obeys the following message format.
Messages are the lowest-level of the protocol, i.e. what transits over a network
connection to a service. They contain a fixed-size (34 bytes) header and a
variable-size payload; the header is the concatenation of the following ASCII
strings:
- Magic header (7 bytes). It is a string of the form ``BIP/X.Y``, where ``X``
is the major version of the protocol, ``Y`` is the minor version.
Currently all services should use ``BIP/1.0``.
- Space (1 byte).
- Peer identifier (8 bytes). A unique identifier for the peer that emitted the
message. It represents a 32-bit unsigned integer formatted as hex.
For peers that are services, the first 16 bits may represent the service
startup time in seconds since the UNIX epoch, modulo 65536, and the last 16
bits may be randomly chosen.
- Space (1 byte).
- Message identifier (8 bytes). A message identifier that is unique for the
(simplex) link. It represents a 32-bit unsigned integer formatted
as hex. It is incremented for each sent message and starts from 0. The
message identifier 0 is used during the link establishment process.
- Space (1 byte).
- Payload size (8 bytes). The number of bytes in the message contents. It
represents a 32-bit integer formatted as hex.
Both the header and the payload are immediately followed by the ``<cr>``
carriage-return plus ``<lf>`` line-feed line termination sequence (bytes
``0x0A`` and ``0x0D``), which are not taken into account for length
calculations. In the case of an empty payload (length zero), the termination
sequence must still be appended; in other words, the message end with two
successive ``<cr><lf>`` sequences.
Example message :
- BIP/1.0 A47F64A1 00000000 0000000<cr><lf><cr><lf>
- BIP/1.0 A47F64A1 00000000 000000D<cr><lf>hello, world!<cr><lf>
A service accepts TCP link on one TCP port for control links, and one TCP port
for each input and output. For inputs, it also accepts messages over UDP if a
TCP link has been established (see below). For outputs, it can emit over UDP if
requested. To establish the link, after the opening of the TCP connection, an empty message is exchanged.

The Rock A Film Review By Michael Redman Copyright 1996 By Michael Redman
***1/2 (out of ****)
Summer action films are an odd thing to review. The genre is so narrowly focused (low on characterization, plot and just about everything else, big only on the keeping-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seatness), that it's remarkably rare for it to produce a truly great movie.
The season is usually filled with mediocre -- occasionally downright horrendous -- offerings and the tendency is to compare: `At least this one isn't as bad as that one.'
"The Rock" is definitely different. Starting with wonderful casting and featuring a mastery of the genre, the film strikes at the heart of summer excitement with surgical precision. It is so well crafted that you'll be holding your breath for over two hours and not notice its defects until after the credits roll. Exactly as it should be.
Ed Harris is a renegade Brigadier General who leads a group of Marines first in stealing enough deadly gas and rockets to destroy a major city, and then in taking over Alcatraz along with 81 hostages so they can be in position to take out the city by the bay. Their demands are on the noble side: money and recognition for US servicemen killed during illegal military actions.
His very reluctant opponents are the makings of the best odd couple in years. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) is a bookish FBI bomb defuser and self-described chemical `superfreak' drafted into the action hero role. Sean Connery plays John Mason, a street-wise highly trained British ultra spy who was in his heyday during the early sixties. (Wait a minute, you don't think he's...?)
Mason was arrested and jailed for 30 years without a trial for stealing microfilm from J. Edgar Hoover revealing such major US secrets as who really killed JFK and other nefarious truths. He comes into play here because he is the only person ever to have escaped Alcatraz. Now he's going to lead the anti-terrorist squad in.
Mason is exactly the role that Connery is best at: the grand old man still capable of kicking butt with the best of them. Cage is his perfect foil who goes by the rules but then loosens up with begrudging admiration for the convict.
Everything starts of with slam-bang action, then goes to big guns, then deadly gas, then missiles, then more slam-bang, and more big guns and -- you get the idea. There's not a moment to stop and smell the roses before they get blasted away.
And it's a good thing that you don't have that moment or else you would realize that the plot is almost exactly the same as "Executive Action", that some of the filmmaking is sloppy (exactly how many missiles did Cage disarm in the morgue?) or that "Bad Boys" Michael Bay films the thing like a damned music video.
But as I said, you never get the time to realize that and Harris, Connery and Cage are so good that you don't want to and besides it's summer.

Barcelona
During the Christmas holidays in December 2018 I had a 2 weeks vacation during which time I visited Spain. I started off my trip in Barcelona, and travelled all the way to the southern coast of Spain, and ended my journey in the port city of Malaga.
Prior to this journey I had only taken long-haul flights and this was my first trip with a domestic airline. I booked my flight with EasyJet, an economical airline which is very popular throughout Europe.
I departed Geneva at 9 AM and arrived at airport in Barcelona around 10:15 AM. The first thing I noticed after leaving the airport was the difference in the environment between Switzerland and Spain. There were lots of palm trees everywhere, and the climate was also quite mild compared to Geneva, where it was around zero degrees during the night.
Barcelona is the second-most populated municipality in Spain, behind its capital, Madrid. This region also has its own language called Catalan, which sounds similar to Spanish (to outsiders), but is in fact closer to French and Italian. After leaving the airport, I took a shuttle to the city centre. The first thing I did was to rent a bicycle, as the city had very well-built bike lanes which made for an excellent opportunity to explore the city.
Since I was carrying a heavy backpack, I first decided to drop off my luggage at the Airbnb I had booked. On my way I saw numerous architectural marvels alongside the densely populated streets. I had to stop every few minutes to admire them.
I passed by the famous La Sagrada Familia church and saw a huge crowd trying to get inside.
I finally reached my Airbnb, which was a small flat located about 20 minutes from the city centre. This district had an uphill slope while the rest of the city was mostly flat.
After getting rid of my luggage I returned to the city and again went to the La Sagrada Familia church. This neighbourhood was extremely crowded with tourists.
This church has been under construction since 1882! The steeples and most of the church’s structure are to be completed by 2026, while the centennial of Gaudí’s death is planned to be completed by 2030 or 2032. The entrance fee for visitors–at the time of my visit–was 15-20 euros. This goes into the annual construction budget, which is 25 million euros.
Since this was Christmas time, there were numerous shops just outside the cathedral selling wooden decorations, figurines, Christmas trees, candies and other food items.
I then went to the Ciutadella Park, which includes the city zoo and a beautiful water fountain designed by Josep Fontserè.
There was a well-maintained garden just beside the water fountain.
Another popular attraction in the city is the Arc de Triomf. There’s a long road which leads to this place and is also quite crowded.
While wandering around the city, I went to a school which was hosting a small exhibition where students had made some food and decoration items.
Around night time I noticed the biggest difference between Geneva and Barcelona - the Christmas lights! Almost every city I visited in Spain had its own variety of decorations, and it made for a very enjoyable experience.
The next morning I visited the Park Güell, which is located on Carmel Hill. This park is the reflection of Antoni Gaudí’s artistic plenitude, which belongs to his naturalist phase. The park is around 45 acres in area, and contains many buildings.
Since the park is situated on a hilltop, it provides a very good viewpoint to the city.
While roaming around the city, I managed to find a completely deserted spot, which is quite rare in such a densely populated city.
I also went to an old city corner which had a very antique feeling.
Barcelona touches the Balearic Sea along its eastern coast and has a very big port. Almost everywhere throughout Spain the beaches are very well preserved and contain many biking and running lanes. Since I went there during the winter the beach was almost deserted.
After visiting the major attractions in Barcelona, I bought a train ticket from SNCF to the city of Girona.


Rosavel will do just fine.
Have to look up for another alternative.Need time.
