_The_Next_Best_Thing_ (PG-13) no stars (out of ****)
Best friends may make the best mistakes, but Madonna makes the absolute worst, at least in terms of her film career, which has been a comedy of errors or a horrible tragedy, depending on how one looks at it. After the surprisingly impressive anomaly that was _Evita_ (which won her a Golden Globe), the pop music diva is back to her infamously poor projects and even poorer performances with _The_Next_Best_Thing_--which, as the title states, is not the best, but it's hardly that close to it. In fact, this awful mess is more like the absolute worst.
One can understand Madonna and co-star Rupert Everett's decision to make this film. The two are longtime friends, and it gives them an opportunity to work together in roles that are "like" themselves--or, rather, how _they'd_like_ to see themselves: a witty everyman (Everett) who just happens to be openly gay, and--more notably--a "normal" woman (Madonna). But, as her nearly two-decade-long stint in the spotlight has shown, being "normal" is hardly natural for Madonna. What is natural to her, it seems, is that strange British-or-whatever accent this Detroit native has adopted in recent years. And that affected speech pattern always gets in the way; while she does have a few uncharacteristically relaxed moments (perhaps due to her ease with Everett), the funky accent eventually creeps in and ruins it.
Then again, with one big exception, Madonna's voice has always been grating in her screen efforts, long before she fancied herself a foreigner. That exception, of course, is in the entirely sung-through _Evita_, and that's no coincidence. Singing is something that she is clearly comfortable with and--crucially--confident in doing, and that's what made the difference in her justly-lauded performance. It was not so much the indisputable fact that she's a much better vocalist than thespian, but that she was considerably calmer and thus more natural, not trying so hard to prove her "acting ability." Without a musical crutch, however, she overcompensates--as she again does in _The_Next_Best_Thing_.
It must be said that there's so much deficiency in the film that one can almost understand the need to make up for it with overkill. In _Next_Best_, Madonna's Abbie and Everett's Robert--two generically-written characters--are best friends living in L.A. Coming off of a nasty breakup (hers) and the death of a close friend (his), the two drown their sorrows one night and end up doing the dirty deed. She gets pregnant, and the two decide to raise the child (a son, named Sam) together. Light stuff, all done with a light touch, but so light as to make one wonder if director John Schlesinger was ever in the room when the film was shot. Madonna is always clueless as an actress, so it's no surprise that her formless, flavorless portrayal of Abbie cries out for guidance. The big shock is how bad the usually reliable Everett is. His ability to toss off bon mots is less smooth as smug, often peppered with some ill-advised mugging and other sorts of physical gags. The biggest botch of all, though, is Schlesinger's, with the centerpiece night: while the aim is not to be romantic, there should be at least some sense of warmth and affection; these are, after all, best friends. But there's no tenderness, just some would-be funny instances of furniture being broken (ha ha), glimpses of the two doing drunken dance steps, and closeups of liquor being poured into goblets.
_Next_Best_ would be bad enough as a comedy; once the film flashes forward six years, tired cute kid humor is added into the mix. Yet for some reason screenwriter Thomas Ropelewski, who doesn't come close to meeting his modest initial goals, decides to aim even higher. Abbie meets and falls for a New York-based businessman (Benjamin Bratt, boring), and then the film takes the left-field turn into a heavyhanded custody battle drama. As feared, this shift brings out the worst in Madonna, who cannot hold her own with Everett, who is indeed a capable dramatic actor. But she's not the only one at a loss as to what to do--so are Ropelewski and Schlesinger, who open up a can of worms and then just toss it aside. Many films use text cards to divulge the fate of their characters, but I have never seen a film rest its entire resolution on them. The film fades out, with no sense of closure--or even a sense of things coming together for a close--then states in print how it all turns out.
There other flubs in _The_Next_Best_Thing_ (such as a line where Robert mentions it's the 21st Century in a scene that, in the film's time frame, should be set around 1993; or the fact that Robert's sole love interest, a cardiologist, has no name and is rather comically listed in the closing credits as "Cardiologist"), but to go over them would be as pointless an exercise as the entire film is. One should just not make a flub oneself, and avoid this _Thing_.

Recipe 11.8. Implementing a Stopwatch in TkinterCredit: JØrgen Cederberg, Tobias Klausmann ProblemYou are coding an application in Tkinter and need a widget that implements a stopwatch. SolutionImplementing a new widget is almost always best done by subclassing Frame: from Tkinter import * import time class StopWatch(Frame): """ Implements a stop watch frame widget. """ msec = 50 def _ _init_ _(self, parent=None, **kw): Frame._ _init_ _(self, parent, kw) self._start = 0.0 self._elapsedtime = 0.0 self._running = False self.timestr = StringVar( ) self.makeWidgets( ) def makeWidgets(self): """ Make the time label. """ l = Label(self, textvariable=self.timestr) self._setTime(self._elapsedtime) l.pack(fill=X, expand=NO, pady=2, padx=2) def _update(self): """ Update the label with elapsed time. """ self._elapsedtime = time.time( ) - self._start self._setTime(self._elapsedtime) self._timer = self.after(self.msec, self._update) def _setTime(self, elap): """ Set the time string to Minutes:Seconds:Hundredths """ minutes = int(elap/60) seconds = int(elap - minutes*60.0) hseconds = int((elap - minutes*60.0 - seconds)*100) self.timestr.set('%02d:%02d:%02d' % (minutes, seconds, hseconds)) def Start(self): """ Start the stopwatch, ignore if already running. """ if not self._running: self._start = time.time( ) - self._elapsedtime self._update( ) self._running = True def Stop(self): """ Stop the stopwatch, ignore if already stopped. """ if self._running: self.after_cancel(self._timer) self._elapsedtime = time.time( ) - self._start self._setTime(self._elapsedtime) self._running = False def Reset(self): """ Reset the stopwatch. """ self._start = time.time( ) self._elapsedtime = 0.0 self._setTime(self._elapsedtime) DiscussionHere is an example of use of this StopWatch widget, presented, as usual, with a guard of if _ _name_ _ == '_ _main_ _' so we can make it part of the module containing the class and have it run when the module is executed as a "main script": if _ _name_ _ == '_ _main_ _': def main( ): root = Tk( ) sw = StopWatch(root) sw.pack(side=TOP) Button(root, text='Start', command=sw.Start).pack(side=LEFT) Button(root, text='Stop', command=sw.Stop).pack(side=LEFT) Button(root, text='Reset', command=sw.Reset).pack(side=LEFT) Button(root, text='Quit', command=root.quit).pack(side=LEFT) root.mainloop( ) main( ) You might want to use time.clock instead of time.time if your stopwatch's purpose is to measure the amount of CPU time that your program is taking, rather than the amount of elapsed time. I used time.time, without even bothering to make that choice easily customizable (you'll need to edit its several appearances in the recipe's code), because it seems the most natural choice to me by far. One aspect that you can customize easily, by subclassing and data overriding or simply by setting the msec instance attribute on a particular StopWatch instance, is how often the time display is updated onscreen; the default of 50 milliseconds, which translates to 20 updates a second, may well mean updates that are too frequent for your purposes, although they suit my own just fine. See AlsoDocs about the time module in the Library Reference and Python in a Nutshell; information about Tkinter can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as Fredrik Lundh, An Introduction to Tkinter (PythonWare: http://www.pythonware.com/library), New Mexico Tech's Tkinter Reference (http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/lang/python/docs.html), Python in a Nutshell, and various other books. |

Chamber Music
I
[]
Strings in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
The willows meet.
[]
There's music along the river
For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
Dark leaves on his hair.
[]
All softly playing.
With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
Upon an instrument.
[]
II
[]
The twilight turns from amethyst
To deep and deeper blue,
The lamp fills with a pale green glow
The trees of the avenue.
[]
The old piano plays an air.
Sedate and slow and gay;
She bends upon the yellow keys,
Her head inclines this way.
[]
Shy thoughts and grave wide eyes and hands
That wander as they list —
The twilight turns to darker blue
With lights of amethyst.
[]
III
[]
At that hour when all things have repose,
O lonely watcher of the skies,
Do you hear the night wind and the sighs
Of harps playing unto Love to unclose
The pale gates of sunrise?
[]
When all things repose do you alone
Awake to hear the sweet harps play
To Love before him on his way,
And the night wind answering in antiphon
Till night is overgone?
[]
Play on, invisible harps, unto Love
Whose way in heaven is aglow
At that hour when soft lights come and go,
Soft sweet music in the air above
And in the earth below.
[]
IV
[]
When the shy star goes forth in heaven
All maidenly, disconsolate,
Hear you amid the drowsy even
One who is singing by your gate.
His song is softer than the dew
And he is come to visit you.
[]
O bend no more in revery
When he at eventide is calling.
Nor muse: Who may this singer be
Whose song about my heart is falling?
Know you by this, the lover^s chant,
'Tis I that am your visitant.
[]
V
[]
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair,
I heard you singing
A merry air.
[]
My book was closed;
I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
On the floor.
[]
I have left my book:
I have left my room:
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom,
[]
Singing and singing
A merry air.
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair.
[]
VI
[]
I would in that sweet bosom be
(O sweet it is and fair it is!)
Where no rude wind might visit me.
Because of sad austerities
I would in that sweet bosom be.
[]
I would be ever in that heart
(O soft I knock and soft entreat her!)
Where only peace might be my part.
Austerities were all the sweeter
So I were ever in that heart.
[]
VII
[]
My love is in a light attire
Among the apple-trees
Where the gay winds do most desire
To run in companies.
[]
There, where the gay winds stay to woo
The young leaves as they pass,
My love goes slowly, bending to
Her shadow on the grass;
[]
And where the sky's a pale blue cup
Over the laughing land,
My love goes lightly, holding up
Her dress with dainty hand.
[]
VIII
[]
Who goes amid the green wood
With springtide all adorning her?
Who goes amid the merry green wood
To make it merrier?
[]
Who passes in the sunlight
By ways that know the light footfall?
Who passes in the sweet sunlight
With mien so virginal?
[]
The ways of all the woodland
Gleam with a soft and golden fire —
For whom does all the sunny woodland
Carry so brave attire?
[]
O, it is for my true love
The woods their rich apparel wear —
O, it is for my own true love,
That is so young and fair.
[]
IX
[]
Winds of May, that dance on the sea,
Dancing a ringaround in glee
From furrow to furrow, while overhead
The foam flies up to be garlanded,
In silvery arches spanning the air,
Saw you my true love anywhere?
Welladay! Welladay!
For the winds of May!
Love is unhappy when love is away!
[]
X
[]
Bright cap and streamers,
He sings in the hollow:
Come follow, come follow.
All you that love.
Leave dreams to the dreamers
That will not after,
That song and laughter
Do nothing move.
[]
With ribbons streaming
He sings the bolder;
In troop at his shoulder
The wild bees hum.
And the time of dreaming
Dreams is over —
As lover to lover.
Sweetheart, I come.
[]
XI
[]
Bid adieu, adieu, adieu,
Bid adieu to girlish days.
Happy Love is come to woo
Thee and woo thy girlish ways —
The zone that doth become thee fair,
The snood upon thy yellow hair.
[]
When thou hast heard his name upon
The bugles of the cherubim
Begin thou softly to unzone
Thy girlish bosom unto him
And softly to undoi the snood
That is the sign of maidenhood.
[]
XII
[]
What counsel has the hooded moon
Put in thy heart, my shyly sweet,
Of Love in ancient plenilune,
Glory and stars beneath his feet —
A sage that is but kith and kin
With the comedian capuchin?
[]
Believe me rather that am wise
In disregard of the divine.
A glory kindles in those eyes,
Trembles to starlight. Mine, O Mine!
No more be tears in moon or mist
For thee, sweet sentimentalist.
[]
XIII
[]
Go seek her out all courteously
And say I come,
Wind of spices whose song is ever
Epithalamium.
O, hurry over the dark lands
And run upon the sea
For seas and land shall not divide us,
My love and me.

[]
XIV
[]
My dove, my beautiful one,
Arise, arise!
The nightdew lies
Upon my lips and eyes.
[]
The odorous winds are weaving
A music of sighs:
Arise, arise,
My dove, my beautiful one!
[]
I wait by the cedar tree.
My sister, my love.
White breast of the dove,
My breast shall be your bed.
[]
The pale dew lies
Like a veil on my head.
My fair one, my fair dove.
Arise, arise!
[]
XV
[]
From dewy dreams, my soul, arise,
From love's deep slumber and from death,
For lo! the trees are full of sighs
Whose leaves the morn admonisheth.
[]
Eastward the gradual dawn prevails
Where softly burning fires appear,
Making to tremble all those veils
Of grey and golden gossamer.
[]
While sweetly, gently, secretly.
The flowery bells of morn are stirred
And the wise choirs of faery
Begin (innumerous!) to be heard.
[]
XVI
[]
O cool is the valley now
And there, love, will we go
For many a choir is singing now
Where Love did sometime go.
And hear you not the thrushes calling,
Calling us away?
O cool and pleasant is the valley
And there, love, will we stay.

[]
There is no word nor any sign
Can make amend —
He is a stranger to me now
Who was my friend.
[]
XVIII
[]
O sweetheart, hear you
Your lover's tale;
A man shall have sorrow
When friends him fail.
[]
For he shall know then
Friends be untrue
And a little ashes
Their words come to.
[]
But one unto him
Will softly move
And softly woo him
In ways of love.
[]
His hand is under
Her smooth round breast;
So he who has sorrow
Shall have rest.
[]
XIX
[]
Be not sad because all men
Prefer a lying clamour before you:
Sweetheart, be at peace again —
Can they dishonor you?
[]
They are sadder than all tears;
Their lives ascend as a continual sigh.
Proudly answer to their tears:
As they deny, deny.
[]
XX
[]
In the dark pinewood
I would we lay,
In deep cool shadow
At noon of day.
[]
How sweet to lie there,
Sweet to kiss,
Where the great pine forest
Enaisled is!
[]
Thy kiss descending
Sweeter were
With a soft tumult
Of thy hair.
[]
O, unto the pinewood
At noon of day
Come with me now,
Sweet love, away.
[]
XXI
[]
He who hath glory lost nor hath
Found any soul to fellow his,
Among his foes in scorn and wrath
Holding to ancient nobleness,
That high unconsortable one —
His love is his companion.
[]
XXII
[]
Of that so sweet imprisonment
My soul, dearest, is fain —
Soft arms that woo me to relent
And woo me to detain.
Ah, could they ever hold me there,
Gladly were I a prisoner!
[]
Dearest, through interwoven arms
By love made tremulous,
That night allures me where alarms
Nowise may trouble us
But sleep to dreamier sleep be wed
Where soul with soul lies prisoned.
[]
XXIII
[]
This heart that flutters near my heart
My hope and all my riches is,
Unhappy when we draw apart
And happy between kiss and kiss;
My hope and all my riches — yes! —
And all my happiness.
[]
For there, as in some mossy nest
The wrens will divers treasures keep,
I laid those treasures I possessed
Ere that mine eyes had learned to weep.
Shall we not be as wise as they
Though love live but a day?
[]
XXIV
[]
Silently she's combing,
Combing her long hair,
Silently and graciously,
With many a pretty air.
[]
The sun is in the willow leaves
And on the dappled grass,
And still she's combing her long hair
Before the lookingglass.
[]
I pray you, cease to comb out,
Comb out your long hair,
For I have heard of witchery
Under a pretty air.
[]
That imakes as one thing to the lover
Staying and going hence,
All fair, with many a pretty air
And many a negligence.
[]
XXV
[]
Lightly come or lightly go
Though thy heart presage thee woe,
Vales and many a wasted sun,
Oread let thy laughter run
Till the irreverent mountain air
Ripple all thy flying hair.
[]
Lightly, lightly — ever so:
Clouds that wrap the vales below
At the hour of evenstar
Lowliest attendants are;
Love and laughter songconfessed
When the heart is heaviest.
[]
XXVI
[]
Thou leanest to the shell of night,
Dear lady, a divining ear.
In that soft choiring of delight
What sound hath made thy heart to fear?
Seemed it of rivers rushing forth
From the grey deserts of the north?
[]
That mood of thine, O timorous,
Is his, if thou but scan it well,
Who a mad tale bequeaths to us
At ghosting hour conjurable —
And all for some strange name he read
In Purchas or in Holinshed.
[]
XXVII
[]
Though I thy Mithridates were
Framed to defy the poisondart,
Yet must thou fold me unaware
To know the rapture of thy heart
And I but render and confess
The malice of thy tenderness.
[]
For elegant and antique phrase,
Dearest, my lips wax all too wise;
Nor have I known a love whose praise
Our piping poets solemnise.
Neither a love where may not be
Ever so little falsity.
[]
XXVIII
[]
Gentle lady, do not sing
Sad songs about the end of love;
Lay aside sadness and sing
How love that passes is enough.
[]
Sing about the long deep sleep
Of lovers that are dead and how
In the grave all love shall sleep.
Love is aweary now.
[]
XXIX
[]
Dear heart, why will you use me so?

[]
Through the clear mirror of your eyes,
Through the soft cry of kiss to kiss.
Desolate winds assail with cries
The shadowy garden where love is.
[]
And soon shall love dissolved be
When over us the wild winds blow —
But you, dear love, too dear to me,
Alas! why will you use me so?
[]
XXX
[]
Love came to us in time gone by
When one at twilight shyly played
And one in fear was standing nigh —
For Love at first is all afraid.
[]
We were grave lovers. Love is past
That had his sweet hours many a one.
Welcome to us now at the last
The ways that we shall go upon.
[]
XXXI
[]
O, it was out by Donnycarney
When the bat flew from tree to tree
My love and I did walk together
And sweet were the words she said to me.
[]
Along with us the summer wind
Went murmuring — O, happily! —
But softer than the breath of summer
Was the kiss she gave to me.
[]
XXXII
[]
Rain has fallen all the day
O come among the laden trees,
The leaves lie thick upon the way
Of memories.
[]
Staying a little by the way
Of memories shall we depart.
Come, my beloved, where I may
Speak to your heart.
[]
XXXIII
[]
Now, O now, in this brown land
Where Love did so sweet music make
We two shall wander, hand in hand,
Forbearing for old friendship' sake,
Nor grieve because our love was gay
Which now is ended in this way.
[]
A rogue in red and yellow dress
Is knocking, knocking at the tree
And all around our loneliness
The wind is whistling merrily.
The leaves — they do not sigh at all
When the year takes them in the fall.
[]
Now, O now, we hear no more
The vilanelle and roundelay!
Yet will we kiss, sweetheart, before
We take sad leave at close of day.
Grieve not, sweetheart, for anything —
The year, the year is gathering.
[]
XXXIV
[]
Sleep now, O sleep now,
O you unquiet heart!
A voice crying 'Sleep now'
Is heard in my heart.
[]
The voice of the winter
Is heard at the door.
O sleep for the winter
Is crying 'Sleep no more!'
[]
My kiss will give peace now
And quiet to your heart —
Sleep on in peace now,
O you unquiet heart!
[]
XXXV
[]
All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is, when going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the waters'
Monotone.
[]
The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.
[]
XXXVI
[]
I hear an army charging upon the land
And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees.
Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand,
Disdaining the reins, with fluttering whips, the charioteers.
[]
They cry unto the night their battlename:
I moan in sleep when I hear afar their whirling laughter.
They cleave the gloom of dreams, a blinding flame,
Clanging, clanging upon the heart as upon an anvil.
[]
They come shaking in triumph their long, green hair:
They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore.
My heart, have you no wisdom thus to despair?
My love, my love, my love, why have you left me alone?
[]

Tilly
[]
He travels after a winter sun,
Urging the cattle along a cold red road,
Calling to them, a voice they know,
He drives his beasts above Cabra.
[]
The voice tells them home is warm.
They moo and make brute music with their hoofs.
He drives them with a flowering branch before him,
Smoke pluming their foreheads.
[]
Boor, bond of the herd,
Tonight stretch full by the fire!
I bleed by the black stream
For my torn bough!
[]
Watching the Needleboats at San Sabba
[]
I heard their young hearts crying
Loveward above the glancing oar
And heard the prairie grasses sighing:
No more, return no more!
[]
O hearts, O sighing grasses,
Vainly your loveblown bannerets mourn!
No more will the wild wind that passes
Return, no more return.
[]
[]
A Flower Given to My Daughter
[]
Frail the white rose and frail are
Her hands that gave
Whose soul is sere and paler
Than time's wan wave.
[]
Rosefrail and fair — yet frailest
A wonder wild
In gentle eyes thou veilest,
My blueveined child.
[]
[]
She Weeps over Rahoon
[]
Rain on Rahoon falls softly, softly falling,
Where my dark lover lies.
Sad is his voice that calls me, sadly calling,
At grey moonrise.
[]
Love, hear thou
How soft, how sad his voice is ever calling,
Ever unanswered, and the dark rain falling,
Then as now.
[]
Dark too our hearts, O love, shall lie and cold
As his sad heart has lain
Under the moongrey nettles, the black mould
And muttering rain.
[]
[]
Tutto è sciolto
[]
A birdless heaven, seadusk, one lone star
Piercing the west,
And thou, fond heart, love's time, so faint, so far,
Rememberest.
[]
Her clear young eyes' soft look, the candid brow,
The fragrant hair,
Falling as through the silence falleth now
Dusk of the air.
[]
Why then, remembering those shy
Sweet lures, repine
When the dear love she yielded with a sigh
Was all but thine?
[]
[]
On the Beach at Fontana
[]
Wind whines and whines the shingle,
The crazy pierstakes groan;
A senile sea numbers each single
Slimesilvered stone.
[]
From whining wind and colder
Grey sea I wrap him warm
And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder
And boyish arm.
[]
Around us fear, descending
Darkness of fear above
And in my heart how deep unending
Ache of love!
[]
[]
Simples
[]
O bella bionda,
Sei come l'onda!
[]
Of cool sweet dew and radiance mild
The moon a web of silence weaves
In the still garden where a child
Gathers the simple salad leaves.
[]
A moondew stars her hanging hair
And moonlight kisses her young brow
And, gathering, she sings an air:
Fair as the wave is, fair, art thou!
[]
Be mine, I pray, a waxen ear
To shield me from her childish croon
And mine a shielded heart for her
Who gathers simples of the moon.
[]
[]
Flood
[]
Goldbrown upon the sated flood
The rockvine clusters lift and sway
Vast wings above the lambent waters brood
Of sullen day.
[]
A waste of waters ruthlessly
Sways and uplifts its weedy mane
Where brooding day stares down upon the sea
In dull disdain.
[]
Uplift and sway, O golden vine,
Your clustered fruits to love's full flood,
Lambent and vast and ruthless as is thine
Incertitude!
[]
Nightpiece
[]
Gaunt in gloom
The pale stars their torches
Enshrouded wave.
Ghostfires from heaven's far verges faint illume
Arches on soaring arches,
Night's sindark nave.
[]
Seraphim
The lost hosts awaken
To service till
In moonless gloom each lapses, muted, dim
Raised when she has and shaken
Her thurible.
[]
And long and loud
To night's nave upsoaring
A starknell tolls
As the bleak incense surges, cloud on cloud,
Voidward from the adoring
Waste of souls.
[]
[]
Alone
[]
The moon's greygolden meshes make
All night a veil,
The shorelamps in the sleeping lake
Laburnum tendrils trail.
[]
The sly reeds whisper to the night
A name— her name—
And all my soul is a delight,
A swoon of shame.
[]
A Memory of the Players in a Mirror at Midnight
[]
They mouth love's language. Gnash
The thirteen teeth
Your lean jaws grin with. Lash
Your itch and quailing, nude greed of the flesh.
Love's breath in you is stale, worded or sung,
As sour as cat's breath,
Harsh of tongue.
[]
This grey that stares
Lies not, stark skin and bone.
Leave greasy lips their kissing. None
Will choose her what you see to mouth upon.
Dire hunger holds his hour.
Pluck forth your heart, saltblood, a fruit of tears.
Pluck and devour!
[]
[]
Bahnhofstrasse
[]
The eyes that mock me sign the way
Whereto I pass at eve of day.
[]
Grey way whose violet signals are
The trysting and the twining star.
[]
Ah star of evil! star of pain!
Highhearted youth comes not again
[]
Nor old heart's wisdom yet to know
The signs that mock me as I go.
[]
[]
A Prayer
[]
Again!
Come, give, yield all your strength to me!
From far a low word breathes on the breaking brain
Its cruel calm, submission's misery,
Gentling her awe as to a soul predestined.
Cease, silent love! My doom!
[]
Blind me with your dark nearness, O have mercy, beloved enemy of my will!
I dare not withstand the cold touch that I dread.
Draw from me still
My slow life! Bend deeper on me, threatening head,
Proud by my downfall, remembering, pitying
Him who is, him who was!
[]
Again!
Together, folded by the night, they lay on earth. I hear
From far her low word breathe on my breaking brain.
Come! I yield. Bend deeper upon me! I am here.
Subduer, do not leave me!
[]
[]
Ecce Puer
[]
Of the dark past
A child is born;
With joy and grief
My heart is torn.
Calm in his cradle
The living lies.
May love and mercy
Unclose his eyes!
Young life is breathed
On the glass;
The world that was not
Comes to pass.
A child is sleeping:
An old man gone.
O, father forsaken,
Forgive your son!

The Holy Office
[ ]
Myself unto myself will give
This name Katharsis-Purgative.
I, who dishevelled ways forsook
To hold the poets' grammar-book,
Bringing to tavern and to brothel
The mind of witty Aristotle,
Lest bards in the attempt should err
Must here be my interpreter:
Wherefore receive now from my lip
Peripatetic scholarship.
To enter heaven, travel hell,
Be piteous or terrible
One positively needs the ease
Of plenary indulgences.
For every true-born mysticist
A Dante is, unprejudiced,
Who safe at ingle-nook, by proxy,
Hazards extremes of heterodoxy
Like him who finds joy at a table
Pondering the uncomfortable.
Ruling one's life by common sense
How can one fail to be intense?
But I must not accounted be
One of that mumming company —
With him who hies him to appease
His giddy dames' frivolities
While they console him when he whinges
With gold-embroidered Celtic fringes —
Or him who sober all the day
Mixes a naggin in his play —
Or him whose conduct 'seems to own'
His preference for a man of 'tone'
Or him who plays the ragged patch
To millionaires in Hazelhatch
But weeping after holy fast
Confesses all his pagan past —
Or him who will his hat unfix
Neither to malt nor crucifix
But show to all that poor-dressed be
His high Castilian courtesy —
Or him who loves his Master dear —
Or him who drinks his pint in fear —
Or him who once when snug abed
Saw Jesus Christ without his head
And tried so hard to win for us
The long-lost works of Eschylus.
But all these men of whom I speak
Make me the sewer of their clique.
That they may dream their dreamy dreams
I carry off their filthy streams
For I can do those things for them
Through which I lost my diadem,
Those things for which Grandmother Church
Left me severely in the lurch.
Thus I relieve their timid arses,
Perform my office of Katharsis.
My scarlet leaves them white as wool
Through me they purge a bellyful.
To sister mummers one and all
I act as vicar-general
And for each maiden, shy and nervous,
I do a similar kind service.
For I detect without surprise
That shadowy beauty in her eyes,
The 'dare not' of sweet maidenhood
That answers my corruptive 'would',
Whenever publicly we meet
She never seems to think of it;
At night when close in bed she lies
And feels my hand between her thighs
My little love in light attire
Knows the soft flame that is desire.
But Mammon places under ban
The uses of Leviathan
And that high spirit ever wars
On Mammon's countless servitors
Nor can they ever be exempt
From his taxation of contempt.
So distantly I turn to view
The shamblings of that motley crew,
Those souls that hate the strength that mine has
Steeled in the school of old Aquinas.
Where they have crouched and crawled and prayed
I stand the self-doomed, unafraid,
Unfellowed, friendless and alone,
Indifferent as the herring-bone,
Firm as the mountain-ridges where
I flash my antlers on the air.
Let them continue as is meet
To adequate the balance-sheet.
Though they may labour to the grave
My spirit shall they never have
Nor make my soul with theirs as one
Till the Mahamanvantara be done:
And though they spurn me from their door
My soul shall spurn them evermore.

Gas from a Burner.
[ ]
Ladies and gents, you are here assembled
To hear why earth and heaven trembled
Because of the black and sinister arts
Of an Irish writer in foreign parts.
He sent me a book ten years ago
I read it a hundred times or so,
Backwards and forwards, down and up,
Through both the ends of a telescope.
I printed it all to the very last word
But by the mercy of the Lord
The darkness of my mind was rent
And I saw the writer's foul intent.
But I owe a duty to Ireland:
I held her honour in my hand,
This lovely land that always sent
Her writers and artists to banishment
And in a spirit of Irish fun
Betrayed her own leaders, one by one.
'Twas Irish humour, wet and dry,
Flung quicklime into Parnell's eye;
'Tis Irish brains that save from doom
The leaky barge of the Bishop of Rome
For everyone knows the Pope can't belch
Without the consent of Billy Walsh.
O Ireland my first and only love
Where Christ and Caesar are hand and glove!
O lovely land where the shamrock grows!
(Allow me, ladies, to blow my nose)
To show you for strictures I don't care a button
I printed the poems of Mountainy Mutton
And a play he wrote (you've read it, I'm sure)
Where they talk of "bastard" "bugger" and "whore"
And a play on the Word and Holy Paul
And some woman's legs that I can't recall
Written by Moore, a genuine gent
That lives on his property's ten per cent:
I printed mystical books in dozens:
I printed the table book of Cousins
Though (asking your pardon) as for the verse
'Twould give you a heartburn on your arse:
I printed folklore from North and South
By Gregory of the Golden Mouth:
I printed poets, sad, silly and solemn:
I printed Patrick What-do-you-Colm:
I printed the great John Milicent Synge
Who soars above on an angel's wing
In the playboy shift that he pinched as swag
From Maunsel's manager's travelling-bag.
But I draw the line at that bloody fellow,
That was over here dressed in Austrian yellow,
Spouting Italian by the hour
To O' Leary Curtis and John Wyse Power
And writing of Dublin, dirty and dear,
In a manner no blackamoor printer could bear.
Shite and onions! Do you think I'll print
The name of the Wellington Monument,
Sydney Parade and Sandymount tram,
Downes's cakeshop and Williams's jam?
I'm damned if I do — I'm damned to blazes!
Talk about Irish Names of Places!
It's a wonder to me, upon my soul,
He forgot to mention Curly's Hole.
No, ladies, my press shall have no share in
So gross a libel on Stepmother Erin.
I pity the poor — that's why I took
A red-headed Scotchman to keep my book.
Poor sister Scotland! Her doom is fell;
She cannot find any more Stuarts to sell.
My conscience is fine as Chinese silk:
My heart is as soft as buttermilk.
Colm can tell you I made a rebate
Of one hundred pounds on the estimate
I gave him for his Irish Review.
I love my country — by herrings I do!
I wish you could see what tears I weep
When I think of the emigrant train and ship.
That's why I publish far and wide
My quite illegible railway guide,
In the porch of my printing institute
The poor and deserving prostitute
Plays every night at catch-as-catch-can
With her tight-breeched British artilleryman
And the foreigner learns the gift of the gab
From the drunken draggletail Dublin drab.
Who was it said: Resist not evil?
I'll burn that book, so help me devil.
I'll sing a psalm as I watch it burn
And the ashes I'll keep in a one-handled urn.
I'll penance do with farts and groans
Kneeling upon my marrowbones.
This very next lent I will unbare
My penitent buttocks to the air
And sobbing beside my printing press
My awful sin I will confess.
My Irish foreman from Bannockburn
Shall dip his right hand in the urn
And sign crisscross with reverent thumb
Memento homo upon my bum.

It’s often useful to make some tweaks to your Info.plist file to change how your application behaves and interacts with Mac OS X. The most complete reference for the keys available to you is in Apple’s Runtime Configuration Guidelines.
Here are some commonly customized property list keys relevant to py2app applications:
There are three ways to specify Info.plist customizations to py2app.
You can specify an Info.plist XML file on the command-line with the --plist option, or as a string in your setup.py:
setup(
app=['MyApplication.py'],
options=dict(py2app=dict(
plist='Info.plist',
)),
)
You may also specify the plist as a Python dict in the setup.py:
setup(
app=['MyApplication.py'],
options=dict(py2app=dict(
plist=dict(
LSPrefersPPC=True,
),
)),
)
Or you may use a hybrid approach using the standard library plistlib module:
from plistlib import Plist
plist = Plist.fromFile('Info.plist')
plist.update(dict(
LSPrefersPPC=True,
))
setup(
app=['MyApplication.py'],
options=dict(py2app=dict(
plist=plist,
)),
)
py2app is currently fully compatible with Universal Binaries, however it does not try and detect which architectures your application will correctly run on.
If you are building your application with a version of Python that is not universal, or have extensions that are not universal, then you must set the LSPrefersPPC Info.plist key to True. This will force the application to run translated with Rosetta by default. This is necessary because the py2app bootstrap application is universal, so Finder will try and launch natively by default.
Alternatively, the --prefer-ppc option can be used as a shortcut to ensure that this Info.plist key is set.


Litterbox
Some of the bits around the edge of Habitat, that I wish were available natively.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'litterbox'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install litterbox
Usage
Build
hab = Litterbox::Habitat::Build.new(plan_dir)
hab.build
last_build = Litterbox.last_build("#{plan_dir}/results/last_build.env")
Upload
hab = Litterbox::Habitat::Upload.new(
File.join(plan_dir, 'results', last_build.pkg_artifact),
ENV['HAB_AUTH_TOKEN']
)
hab.upload
Promote
channel = 'stable'
hab = Litterbox::Habitat::Promote.new(
last_build.pkg_ident,
channel,
ENV['HAB_AUTH_TOKEN']
)
hab.promote
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install
dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can
also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow
you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake
install
. To release a new version, update the version number in
version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake
release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git
commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.

It's okay!
It's ok that the thing isn't over.
It's ok that you had a fall.
It's ok that you're frightened
and that you'll get through'em all.
It's ok that you climb too hard,
to find yourself in some pitfall.
And that, you now know it isn't over,
It's nothing-less-than-okay to try, after all.
It's ok that you think you were never born,
or you wish everyone else be dead and gone.
It's ok that the clock is ticking
and you're running out of choice.
Somewhere between chaos and doritos,
you'll find your voice or you'll be played their toys.

And that there awaits after dark, an alluring sunrise,
It's ok that it's three and you're still awake.
It's ok that you're unable to pick out
what is reality and that the fantasy
unless and until you enjoy your pies.
It's ok that the things have changed
and now that ctrl+z won't work,
you'll have to learn to lurk.
Its ok that numbers didn't play your game,
rather they have lead you to mirk.
It's ok that you had to leave them alone or them, alone
or if you were to be that left out one, trust me hon!
It's ok because you exist among those whose zones
aren't the same as those before, once it's dawn.
It's ok to be cautious while walking over thin ice.
It's ok if the ice broke,
and it's even ok 'cause you woke.
It's ok if you forget to sleep and equally ok
if you don't remember to wake.

Just be.
It's okay.
Because, you never wanted to ask.


{% extends "basic.html" %} {% block main %}
Use of this service assumes some familiarity with the Entrez Programming Utilities (eUtils)
All methods are accessed via http://entrezajax.appspot.com/<method_name>
The standard method names are analogous to the Entrez eUtils calls:
Additionally, a selection of combined methods are available which chain two method calls together. The results of the first method call are passed to the second via the id parameter.
Each method accepts various parameters via the query string (i.e.
after the ? in the URL), i.e.
http://entrezajax.appspot.com/esearch?db=pubmed&term=DNA+polymerase
Each method must also be passed a developer API key as parameter apikey. You must register to get a developer API key.
All methods optionally take a parameter callback to enable JSONP mode. The value of callback is the function name to be called with the JSON object as the first argument. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery automatically support the use of this keyword by specifying callback=? in the URL passed to the $.getJSON() function.
Other parameters are set on a method-by-method basis detailed below.
Each method returns a JSON dictionary with two keys. result has the results from Entrez. entrezajax is a dictionary of additional information.
Because it is difficult to handle errors within JSONP where possible the service will return well-formed JSON. If an error has occured an attribute entrezajax.error will be set to True. When this is set, an additional attribute error_message will continue a string describing the nature of the error. Your application should test for an error state and notify the user accordingly.
Common reasons for errors include:
NCBI Parameters: db, id, report, dispstart, dispmax
NCBI Parameters: db
NCBI Parameters: db, id, reldate, mindate, maxdate, datetype, term, retmode, dbfrom, cmd, holding, version
NCBI Parameters: db, term, field, reldate, mindate, maxdate, datetype, retstart, retmax, rettype, sort
NCBI Parameters: db, term
NCBI Parameters: db, id, retstart, retmax
The combined methods take the same parameters as the individual methods. The second method is always invocated with the ID list returned by the first method. Combined parameters return an additional dictionary field count to detail the number of results returned by the first method.
NCBI Parameters: as per Esearch
EntrezAJAX parameters: start, max
NCBI Parameters: as per Esearch and Efetch
EntrezAJAX parameters: start, max
NCBI Parameters: as per Esearch and Elink
EntrezAJAX parameters: start, max
NCBI Parameters: as per Elink and Esummary
EntrezAJAX parameters: start, max
NCBI Parameters: as per Elink and Efetch
EntrezAJAX parameters: start, max
Combined methods all take the 0-based pagination parameter start and the search result restriction parameter max.
This service relies on NCBI eUtils to function and therefore respects the developer limitations specified under User Requirements in the eUtils documentation. Specifically, the service will enforce the requirement not to make any more than 3 requests every 1 second to Entrez eUtils. However, the service makes heavy use of caching and only requests which are not fetched from the cache count towards this limit. This means that you may be able to get higher throughput from this service than from eUtils directly.
The service automatically applies the parameters email and tool to requests based on the supplied API key.
Please note the following requirements from NCBI which are your responsibility to follow:
This service is deployed via Google App Engine which enforces certain limitations on HTTP requests which are relevant to the AJAX endpoint, specifically:


The National Map service is a seamless national dataset coverage for the whole of Australia. The map portrays detailed graphic representation of features that appear on the Earth's surface. These features include cultural, hydrography and relief themes. Some datasets have a number from 1 and upwards, this number reflects the increasing data from scale to scale.

HRVY teases ‘new era’ as he announces world tour for 2020
Brace yourselves, HRVY mania is coming to a city near you as the popstar has announced a world tour for 2020.
The Million Ways singer is set to launch the tour in North American leg next March, which will see him perform shows in cities like Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston, before heading over to Europe in April.
Shows on the European leg will include trips to Amsterdam and Cologne, while UK dates are set for Glasgow, London, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin.
Oh, and it gets better because that’s just ‘part one’ of the tour – part is expected to be announced in due course.
Announcing the exciting news, HRVY told fans on Monday: ‘Yano I’ve wanted to announce this for such a long time now so here goes. WORLD TOUR.
‘VIP tickets and pre sale tickets go on sale this Wednesday at 9am Local time. download my app “THE HRVY PASS” to get access to tickets before anyone else.’

The singer then teased: ‘I’m touring all new music too, You have no idea how excited I am, this is a new era for us and I’m so ready.
‘I have an app, a world tour coming, new music, even more new music, a merch store and christmas is soon, we thriving kids.’
The excitement is real.
We can only predict the scenes outside the venues after HRVY, 20, shut down Bluewater shopping centre earlier this month.
The popstar was due to host a meet-and-greet at JD Sports but police ordered him to leave the venue for health and safety reasons after fans arrived at the centre in their droves.
HRVY was then forced to beg fans not to turn up to his family home, tweeting: ‘You know I love you guys so much and I’d do anything for you but PLEASE don’t come to my family home, for some reason I can never say no to anyone so it puts me and my family in an uncomfortable position.
‘Your support means the absolute world but just keep that in mind.’
HRVY’s 2020 UK tour dates
9 April – O2 Academy, Glasgow
10 April – O2 Ritz, Manchester
11 April – O2 Institute, Birmingham
16 April – London Palladium

The following
Bicycle
class is one possible implementation of a bicycle:
class Bicycle { int cadence = 0; int speed = 0; int gear = 1; void changeCadence(int newValue) { cadence = newValue; } void changeGear(int newValue) { gear = newValue; } void speedUp(int increment) { speed = speed + increment; } void applyBrakes(int decrement) { speed = speed - decrement; } void printStates() { System.out.println("cadence:"+cadence+" speed:"+speed+" gear:"+gear); } }
cadence
, speed
, and gear
represent the object's state,
and the methods (changeCadence
, changeGear
, speedUp
etc.) define its interaction with the outside world.
You may have noticed that the Bicycle
class does not contain a main
method.
That's because it's not a complete application; it's just the blueprint for bicycles that might be used in an application.
The responsibility of creating and using new Bicycle
objects belongs to some other class in your application.
Here's a
BicycleDemo
class that creates two separate Bicycle

Request for Comments
This page gives an overview of the current RFCs for PHP.
To create a new RFC, see How To Create an RFC.
Note: An RFC is effectively “owned” by the person that created it. If you want to make changes, get permission from the creator. If no agreement can be found, the only course of action is to create a competing RFC. In this case the old RFC page should be modified to become an intermediate page that points to all the competing RFC's.
A new page in this RFC namespace will automatically be loaded with an RFC template. Customize as needed.

CNBLUE's Yonghwa discharged from army; says he relied the most on TWICE
by jennywillCNBLUE's Yonghwa is now discharged from the army.
He was discharged from his army branch, where he greeted both fans and press. When asked which girl group gave him a lot of strength, he first said he got to know a lot of singers, but when asked to pick one, he chose TWICE.
Hopefully he'll come back to active promotions soon!


Manager is ‘number one goal’ for Manchester United – Big claims from Marca editor
by Sean LuntWith Tottenham now firmly in the rear-view mirror, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to the future and where he ends up next.
Bayern Munich is seemingly the most likely option given the German champions are without a permanent boss following the sacking of Niko Kovac.
However, they are not likely to be the only interested party. Real Madrid is a potential destination, while Manchester United have also been long-time admirers of the Portuguese boss.
And it seems that admiration has not gone away, despite the fact United are seemingly committed to Ole Gunnar Solskjær long-term.
Covering Pochettino’s situation today, Marca editor Jose Felix Diaz has revealed that Pochettino is the ‘number one goal’ for Manchester United.
Diaz says Pochettino has become ‘one of the most coveted pieces in the coach market’ which is no surprise given the success he enjoyed for the majority of his time at Spurs.
He then points to Bild’s claims that Bayern Munich are keen on the Argentine before stating that Marca, his newspaper, can ‘assure’ it’s readers that it’s Manchester United who are actually at the front of the queue.
Diaz does not divulge how he knows this, but, it’s a bold statement from the editor of one of Spain’s major newspapers and not one he would make without good cause.
There’s no mention when United may make their move or any suggestion that they will, just that Pochettino is the man they want if a managerial change is needed.
That will rest on Solskjær’s performances, and the Manchester United boss must surely be feeling the pressure with Pochettino free.


10 reasons to buy eos tokens right now
10 reasons to buy EOS tokens right now 现在购买EOS的十大理由
本文翻译自：https://medium.com/@yobanjo/10-reasons-to-buy-eos-tokens-right-now-3a4fa8015c14
翻译时间：2017-10-16
EOS caused quite some stir when Dan Larimer gave his presentation a few months ago. The project is said to “deliver on the promises of Ethereum” which means that almost everything is possible using a blockchain. Make sure to read my first EOS article which explains some of the benefits of EOS over other smart-contract systems. But for now let’s jump to the top 10 reasons to be long on the EOS token.
Dan Larimer 几个月前的演讲使EOS引起了轰动。此项目被称为“履行了以太坊的承诺”，意味着几乎所有的事情都可以使用块链来解决。请阅读我的第一个EOS文章，其中解释了EOS与其他智能合约系统的一些优势。现在我们来看看购买EOS令牌的前10大原因。
- 90% discount from the peak price
Yes you are reading that right. The EOS token lost over 90% of its value from the 5.48 dollar peak some months ago.
1、 已经从最高价下降了90%
是的，EOS 已经从几个月前的 5.48 美元高点跌掉了其90％的价格。
The RSI shows a little uptrend. RSI显示了上升趋势
- First P2P-testnet coming this year
Currently we’re seeing “Fase 1” which brings us a standalone node. Don’t bother to compile the code if you’re not a geek. This stuff is still quite hard and it allows you to produce blocks at home. But check that Roadmap. “Fase 2” is expected this year as well and will allow nodes to connect to each other. This means we’ll see the first transactions between nodes go live. This is what’s called a “Minimal Viable Test Network”. It should allow the average Joe to join the test as well.
2、今年第一个P2P测试网络
目前“阶段1”的开发已经使 EOS能做为一个独立的节点运行。但是如果你不是极客，不要试图编译，编译源代码还是很有难度的。根据第2阶段路线图预计今年将允许节点相互连接。这意味着我们能够在节点间生成事务。即所谓的“最小测试网络”。允许人们进行测试。
- EOS is still completely misunderstood by a lot of people
And this can be in your favor. Make sure to dive into the EOS whitepaper or at least have a look at this clear article about delegated proof of stake in EOS.
3、许多人仍然完全不了解 EOS
仔细阅读EOS白皮书，或者至少可以看看关于EOS DPOS的文章。
You can’t fork away as the longest chain (top) will always win EOS 不会分叉，因为系统会使用最长的块链
- Dan Larimer has a good trackrecord
Dan created Bitshares 1 & 2 and Steemit. His systems already handle more blockchain transactions than Ethereum or Bitcoin. He came up with the idea of the DAC. A decentralized autonomous corporation. He also invented delegated proof of stake.
4、Dan Larimer 是个牛人
Dan创造了Bitshares 1＆2和Steemit。这些系统已经处理了比 Ethereum 或 Bitcoin 多得多的块链交易。是他想出了DAC（一个分散的自治架构）的想法。他还发明了DPOS。
- EOS is thousands of times faster than Ethereum
Ethereum claims to be “the world computer”. Even while their blockchain can only handle around 20 transactions per second. For EOS this number will be in the hundreds of thousands per blockchain per second. That’s what is needed for social networks, videos websites and decentralized exchanges.
5、 EOS 比 Ethereum 快千倍
Ethereum 声称是“世界电脑”。但它只能处理每秒约20笔的交易。EOS却可以处理每秒数十万个交易。而这样的高速度正是社交网络，视频网站和去中心化交易所等应用所需要的。
- Finally we’ll see a usable DEX
Think about all the crypto exchanges that got in trouble with hacks and the lost of great amounts of money. Do you still store your coins on an exchange? With Bitschares you can already trade using a fast decentralized exchange (DEX). But EOS will take this to the max. Dan and his team are working on 500 ms blocks. That means that every order, trade, and more are settled within less than a second.
6、最后，我们将看到一个可用的去中心化交易所
几乎所有的数字货币交易所都会遇到黑客及丢失大量金钱的巨大风险。你还会把钱存在交易所吗？bts的去中心化交易所已经可以快速交易，但是 EOS 能做得更好。 Dan和他的团队正在努力开发500毫秒级的区块。这意味着每一个订单，交易等都会在不到一秒钟内处理完成。
- Bitfinex is on board
Bitfinex is one of the biggest exchanges out there.  If Bitfinex can be one of the first companies to provide a DEX they can make quite some money. It will be companies like these that will bring people to EOS.
7、Bitfinex 已经上了 EOS 的船
Bitfinex是最大的交易所之一。而且他们聪明的明白大多数人并不喜欢在他们的系统上使用代币。如果Bitfinex可以成为首个提供去中心化交易的公司之一，那么他们就可以赚到更多的钱。象这样的公司都会使人们使用EOS。
- Block.one has a lot of money
They claim to have 1 billion dollar ready for dApp development. This means they can fund anything from gambling websites to social networks to run on EOS.
8、Block.one 有很多钱
他们有10亿美元为dApp开发做资助。这意味着他们可以资助赌博网站到社交网络等运行在EOS上的任何应用。
- A growing community
There are almost 10k people in the EOS Telegram group. This is quite huge for a project that doesn’t has anything live at the moment. A lot of people are excited about the project and Dan has gathered quite some followers behind him after being around for quite some time now.
9、成长中的社区
EOS 电报组中有近1万人。这个对于目前还是个空气的项目来说，是相当巨大的数字。很多人都对这个项目感到兴奋， 随着时间推移，Dan 已经收集了很多跟随他的人。
- Get rid of all these addresses
Long crypto addresses suck. EOS will allow people to register a username. Imagine being able to blog, trade, communicate and use any dApp by your own username. This will make things more userfriendly. And this will bring more users to EOS that are new into crypto.
Disclosure: I own EOS for the long term.
10、 摆脱难记的地址
长长的代币地址非常难以使用。EOS将允许人们注册用户名。想象一下，您可以通过自己的用户名写博客，交易，沟通和使用任何dApp应用。这将使应用更加用户友好。也将使更多的用户加入EOS阵营。
披露：本人长期持有EOS。

3.4
domestic | environment | moisture from the ground | 2005
standard
mandatory
Every
building
must be designed and
constructed
in such a way that
there will not be a threat to the
building
or the health of the occupants
as a result of moisture penetration from the ground.
3.4.0 Introduction
Water is the prime cause of deterioration in
building
materials and
constructions
and the presence of moisture encourages growth of mould that
is injurious to health. Ground water can penetrate
building
fabric from below,
rising vertically by capillary action. The effects of this rising damp are
immediately recognisable. There may be horizontal ‘tidemarks’ sometimes
several feet above the floor; below it the wall is discoloured with general
darkening and patchiness. There may also be loose wallpaper, signs of
mould growth and deterioration of plaster. Hygroscopic salts brought up from
the ground tend to concentrate in the ‘tidemark’.
Dwellings
therefore, need to be
constructed
in such a way that rising damp
neither damages the
building
fabric nor penetrates to the interior where it
may constitute a health risk to occupants.
Climate change
Designers should be aware of the impact that climate change could have on
the fabric of
buildings
through increased rainfall and temperatures. Higher
wind speeds and driving rain should focus attention to improved design and
quality of
construction
and to the protection of the
building
fabric from long
term dampness.
In the case of
conversions
, as specified in regulation 4, the
building
as
converted
shall meet the requirements of this standard in so far as is
reasonably practicable
, and in no case be worse than before the
conversion
(regulation 12, schedule 6).

3.4.1 Treatment of building elements adjacent to the ground
A floor, wall or other
building
element adjacent the ground should prevent
moisture from the ground reaching the inner surface of any part of a
dwelling
that it could damage.
Floors, walls or other
building
elements adjoining the ground should be
constructed
in accordance with the following recommendations. The
dimensions specified are the minimum recommended; greater dimensions
may therefore be used.
3.4.2 Ground supported concrete floors
The solum is brought to a level
surface. Hardcore bed 100 mm thick
of clean broken brick or similar inert
material free from fine material and
water soluble sulphates in quantities
which would damage the concrete;
blinded with suitable fine material
and
constructed
to form a level,
crack-free surface.
Concrete slab 100 mm thick with
insulation, if any, laid above or below
the slab; with or without a screed or
floor finish.
Damp-proof membrane above or
below the slab or as a sandwich;
jointed and sealed to the damp proof
course or damp-proof structure in
walls, columns and other adjacent
elements in accordance with the
relevant clauses in section 3 of CP
102: 1973.

3.4.2
domestic | environment | moisture from the ground | 2005
3.4.3 Suspended concrete floors
The solum is brought to an even
surface; any up filling to be of hard,
inert material. Suspended concrete
floor of in-situ or precast concrete
slabs or beams with concrete or clay
infill units; with insulation, if any; with
or without a screed or floor finish, or
with boards.
Permanent ventilation
of
the under floor space direct to the
outside air by
ventilators
in 2
external walls
on opposite sides of
the
building
to provide an open area
in each wall of 1500 mm
2
for at least
every metre run of the wall, or 500
mm
2
for at least every square metre
of floor area, this open area also
being provided in internal sleeper
walls or similar obstructions to
maintain the under floor ventilation;
the ventilated space to be 150 mm to
the underside of the floor slab or
beams.
3.4.4 Suspended timber floors
The solum is brought to an even
surface; any up filling to be of hard,
inert material. Hardcore bed as for
clause 3.4.2; with either a dpm in
accordance with section 3 of CP
102: 1973; or concrete 50 mm thick
laid on 0.25 mm (1000 gauge)
polyethylene sheet; or concrete 100
mm thick; so that in any case the top
surface is not below that of the
adjacent ground.
3.4.3
—
3.4.4
domestic | environment | moisture from the ground | 2005
Suspended timber floor with or
without insulation as required. Floor
joists carried on wall-plates
supported as necessary by sleeper
walls with a dpc under the
wall-plates.
Permanent ventilation
of
the under floor space direct to the
outside air by
ventilators
in 2
external walls
on opposite sides of
the
building
to provide an open area
in each wall of either 1500 mm
2
for at
least every metre run of the wall, or
500 mm
2
for at least every square
metre of floor area, this open area
also being provided in internal
sleeper walls or similar obstructions
to maintain the under floor
ventilation; the ventilated space to be
75 mm in height from the
site
covering to the underside of any
wall-plates and 150 mm to the
underside of the floor joists.
3.4.5 Walls at or near ground level
Walls at or near ground level should be
constructed
in accordance with the
recommendations of BS 8102: 1990.
3.4.6 Floors at or near ground level
Floors at or near ground level should be
constructed
in accordance with the
recommendations in Clause 11 of CP 102: 1973. However the ventilation of
the sub-floor as described in Clause 11.8.4 of CP 102: 1973 is not
recommended but should be provided as described in clause 3.4.4 for
suspended timber floors.
3.4.7 Structures below ground, including basements
Structures below ground, including basements, should be
constructed
in
accordance with the recommendation of BS 8102: 1990.

A federal judge on Thursday pushed back the trial date for Daniel McMahon of Brandon, Florida. The trial was originally scheduled to start Dec. 23 at the federal courthouse in Charlottesville, but the judge set a new trial date of June 15, 2020.
McMahon was charged in August with posting social media messages intended to intimidate activist Don Gathers and interfere with Gathers’ plans to run for a seat on Charlottesville’s city council. An indictment says McMahon expressed white supremacist views on his social media accounts.
McMahon, who remains in custody, pleaded not guilty to charges including bias-motivated interference with a candidate for elective office.

JULIA AND JULIA A film review by Evelyn C. Leeper Copyright 1988 Evelyn C. Leeper
When we first see Julia (played by Kathleen Turner) she's happily married--just married. Her happiness lasts but a few hours, though, before her husband Paolo (played by Gabriel Byrne) is killed in a car accident.
We then jump forward seven years and see Julia going through the daily routine of her life in a state not unlike that of a zombie. Then suddenly she finds herself in another world, one in which her husband didn't die, one in which she is still married and has a young son. But this world isn't all sweetness and light either--Julia in this world is cheating on her husband and being blackmailed by her lover to continue their relationship. Like a pendulum, she finds herself swinging back and forth between the two worlds, first trying to understand what is happening and then trying to create the world she wants. This is made even more confused by the fact that the person who in world two is her lover (played by Sting) also exists in world one as someone Julia meets in the course of the film.
Alternate histories are not common in film or television: QUEST FOR LOVE, "City on the Edge of Forever" (STAR TREK), "Stay Tuned, We'll Be Right Back" (DARKROOM), AN ENGLISHMAN'S CASTLE, and a few others. Why are they not common? Well, maybe it's because alternate worlds are a mental concept rather than an action concept (like car chases). JULIA AND JULIA demands a mental effort on the part of the viewer to keep track of who's where. The film itself is slow-moving and has a cold and distant feel.
JULIA AND JULIA was shot on video, giving it a made-for-TV look. The Italian setting (it was made by RAI) is well-used but tends to distance the story and make both worlds unfamiliar, adding to the distant feel. Recommended for the more intellectually oriented viewer.

Learning From Mistakes - Concurrency, Packing and PNGs
I’m a firm believer than you learn more from failures than from successes. From that perspective, for our concurrency class labs I must have learned a ton.

 It was both fun and easier than anticipated.
