PornographersPornography is not an easy business. It requires a constant supply of fresh new talent, an eye for new trends in fetishes and desires, a willingness to stand up against the hypocritical anger of your customer base, and a familiarity with organized crime. Between being made an easy target for politicians looking for cheap votes, and having to negotiate what part of your income must be used to pay off those who need paying off, you stand to make a huge fortune indeed... if you live to spend it.As a result of this, the professional pornographer (those who make a living at it and don't dabble on the edges) tend to be strong, maniacal personalities who can bluster and demand with the rest of them. They're outspoken, brash, and as distrustful of the media as only one who is part of the media can be. They might carry a gun, not to use it, but because that's what has to be done. They are demonized, they are hated, they are sometimes violently attacked. They are freedom.

--- title: "4.2 — Causes and Consequences of Market Power — Class Content" citeproc: false bibliography: ../../static/bib/references.bib csl: ../../static/bib/chicago-syllabus-no-bib.csl output: blogdown::html_page: template: ../../pandoc/toc-title_html.template toc: true editor_options: chunk_output_type: console ---
Today we continue our look at market power, by looking at the social consequences of market power: deadweight loss, allocative inefficiency, x-inefficiency, and rent-seeking; as well as the primary causes: barriers to entry of various sorts.
Ch. 9-1 in @textbook
Tullock (1967), “The Welfare Cost of Tariffs, Monopolies, and Theft”
Kreuger (1974), “The Political Economy of the Rent-Seeking Society”
NPR Planet Money 599: “Why its Illegal to Braid Hair without a License”
Freakonomics*: “Apple vs. Samsung: Who Owns the Rectangle?”)
Tullock (1967) is the famous paper that first describes the idea of “rent-seeking,” though he did not come up with the term, that comes from Kreuger (1974). Tullock is very readable, and shows the connections between monopoly, tariffs, and theft in terms of the rents and the rent-seeking they create. Kreuger (1974) considers rent-seeking at a national level in terms of how it harms trade and development.
Mitchell (2012) is a readable collection of many ways that business and special interests rent-seek and convince governments to erect barriers to entry at the expense of competition and consumers, e.g. monopoly status, favorable regulations, subsidies, bailouts, loan guarantees, targeted tax breaks, protection from foreign competition, and noncompetitive contracts.
Theil (2014) is a provocative Op-edDon’t let the title fool you. This was written well before the politics of 2016!
in the Wall Street Journal that is actually an excerpt from his excellent book Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the FutureWhich I often teach with in in Industrial Organization.
. Theil argues that it is a poor business idea to compete in a competitive market, and for a business to be successful, it needs to be the last-mover in a market, such that it acts as a monopoly. If the market is still competitive and dynamic, the quest for monopoly power can have benefits to consumers in terms of creativity and innnovation (think Google, etc), since they do not have to worry as much about competition.

Put a little bit of perfume, cologne, essential oil, body spray, body mist,
or scented lotion on while you’re studying, and then put on the same scent
when you’re going to take the quiz or exam.
The scent will trigger the memory that you stored in your brain when you were studying.
Try a scent that you don’t have a lot of association with already.
Calming scents like lavender may help you relax, as well as recall information.
2.Flavored Gum
Chewing a flavored gum is another great trigger for your brain.
The flavor and texture of the gum may help you retrieve information from your brain.
For best results, try a flavor that you’re unfamiliar with.
3.Make Studying Fun
If you need a little motivation to read books or lengthy passages, try the candy trail method.
Place a bite-sized piece of candy, such as M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, Skittles, Junior Mints, or gummy bears,
beside every paragraph on the page. Once you finish reading each paragraph, reward yourself by eating that piece of candy.
Positive reinforcement is a great way to motivate you and help you learn.
Rewrite your notes to keep them neat or type them
out to make sure you can actually understand what you're reading.
5.Color Code Your Notes
Try taking notes and doing homework assignments with colored pens, markers, and highlighters.
The colorful notes could improve your visual memory and allow you to access information from your brain during an exam more efficiently. Plus,
having organized, color-coded notes makes reading through them so much easier!
6.Teach A Friend
What happens if you have difficulty finding a way to explain your answers
or put your thoughts into words? This can be difficult, even if you're familiar with the material.
Lecture to a friend, as this allows you to train and prepare your mind to explain complex topics.
It's especially useful if your final consists of a speech or presentation
7.Listen to Recorded Lectures
Listening to recorded lectures is helpful, especially if you're reviewing the notes you took along with it.
This is a great way to refresh some topics you may have studied months ago and forgotten about.
8.Play Some Music
While music is a great stimulant for our brains, some music can overwhelm and exhaust them.
That said, not all music is bad for studying. If you dislike the silence of a library or your
roommate won’t turn the TV off,
try putting in some headphones and listening to some classical or instrumental music while you’re studying.
9.Study Old Exams
Save your old tests if possible - they're great for studying!
You can either retake old tests to review the material or just focus on the questions you previously got wrong.
10.Keep Things Familiar
If you know where your finals will be held and you're able to study there, do it.
Taking a test in a familiar environment will make it easier and less stressful to take
your exam and will help you recall the information you've studied. If you aren't completely sure
where the test will be or can't access it for studying, find an environment that will be similar to the test day.

Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Thank you for purchasing my theme. If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this help file, please feel free to email via my user page contact form here. Thanks so much!
This theme is a fixed layout with two columns. All of the information within the main content area is nested within a div with an id of "primaryContent". The sidebar's (column #2) content is within a div with an id of "secondaryContent". The general template structure is the same throughout the template. Here is the general structure.
If you would like to edit the color, font, or style of any elements in one of these columns, you would do the following:
#primaryContent a { color: #someColor; }
If you find that your new style is not overriding, it is most likely because of a specificity problem. Scroll down in your CSS file and make sure that there isn't a similar style that has more weight.
I.E.
#wrap #primaryContent a { color: #someColor; }
So, to ensure that your new styles are applied, make sure that they carry enough "weight" and that there isn't a style lower in the CSS file that is being applied after yours.
I'm using two CSS files in this theme. The first one is a generic reset file. Many browser interpret the default behavior of html elements differently. By using a general reset CSS file, we can work round this. This file also contains some general styling, such as anchor tag colors, font-sizes, etc. Keep in mind, that these values might be overridden somewhere else in the file.
The second file contains all of the specific stylings for the page. The file is separated into sections using:
/* === Header Section === */ some code /* === Main Section === */ some code /* === Sidebar Section === */ some code /* === Footer === */ some code etc, etc.
If you would like to edit a specific section of the site, simply find the appropriate label in the CSS file, and then scroll down until you find the appropriate style that needs to be edited.
Any images that are placed within the blog section have 5px worth of padding and a light bluish background. If you would like to edit the display of these images, find the following section in the style sheet:
#primaryContent #blog img { change styles here: }
This theme imports three Javascript files.
[some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation] [some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation]
[some Javascript goes here...along with an general explanation]
I've included seven psds with this theme and they are all sliced:
If you'd like to change the main image in the header, open "Home.psd", make the necessary adjustments, and then select header slice to save the file as "header-bg.jpg". Do the same for all other elements that are include in home page. All other files are sliced as well, for e.g. If you want to change bg-image for post image you just open post.psd make necessary adjustments, and than select appropriate slice to save. You can do the same for all other pages.
Every element is sliced and called appropriate in all .psd files
I've used the following images, icons or other files as listed.
Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist. If you have a more general question relating to the themes on ThemeForest, you might consider visiting the forums and asking your question in the "Item Discussion" section.

The Problem
* Communication between computers
* It's just sending/receiving bits
Two Min Issues
* Addressing
* Specifying a remote computer and service
* Data transport
* Moving bits back and forth
Network Addressing
* Machines have a hostname and IP address
* Programs/services have port number
Standard Ports
* Ports for common services are Pressigned
21 FTP
22 SSH
23 Telnet
25 SMTP (Mail)
80 HTTP (Web)
110 POP3 (Mail)
119 NNTP (News)
443 HTTPs (web)
* Other port numbers may just be randomly assigned to programs by the operation system
Using netstart
* Use 'netstart' to view active network connections
sheel: newstart -a
* Note: Must execute from the command shell on both Unix and Windows
Connections
* Each endpoint of network connection is always represented by a host and post #
* In python you write it out as a tuple (host, post)
Client/Server concept
* Each endpoint is a running program
* servers wait for incoming connections and provide a service (e.g: web, mail)
* Clients make connections to servers
Request/Response Cycle
* Most nerwork programs use a request/response model based on messages
* Client sends a request message (eg: HTTP)
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
* server sends back a response message
HTTP/1.0 200 ok
content-type: text/html
content-length: 48823
<html>
.....
* The exact fromat depends on the appllication
Using Telnet
* As a debugging aid, telnet can be used to directly communicate with manu services
telnet hostnmae portnum
Data Transport
* There are two basic types of communication
* Streams (TCP): computers establish a connection with each other and read/Write data in a continuous stream of byetes like a flie. This is the most common
* Datagrams (UDP): Computers send discrete packets (or messages) to each other. Each packet contains a collection of bytes, but each packet is separate and self-contained.
Sockets
* Programming abstraction for network code
* Socket: A communication endpoint
* Supported by socket library module
* Allows connections to be made and data to be transmitted in either direction
Socket Basics
* To create a socket
import socket
s = socket.socket(addr_family, type)
* Address families
socket.AF_INET internet protocol (IPv4)
socket.AF_INET6 internet protocol (IPV6)
* Socket types
socket.SOCK_STREAM connection baseed stream (TCP)
socket.SOCK_DGRAM Datagrams (UDP)
socket Types
* Almost all code will use one of following
from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s = scoket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
* Most common case: TCP connection
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
Using a Scoket
* creating a socket is onlu th first step
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
* Further use depends on application
* Server
* Listen for incoming connections
* Client
* Make an outgoing connection
TCP Client
* How to make an outgoing connection
from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(('www.python.org', 80))
s.send("GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\n\n")
data = s.recv(10000)
s.close()
* s.connect(addr) makes a connection
s.connect(('www.python.org',80))
* Once connected, usd send(),recv() to transmit and receive data

Before even venturing into the question in hand, perhaps it would not be a digression, rather, in fact, a duty to enquire about the motivation: Why would we want a machine to learn and act rather than a human? The figure below may give us an idea why.
It shows that more favourable decisions by judges happens after food breaks. It is conjectured that machines are more stable in their decisions.

Meals Prepared
Now the Northumberland County residents have a reliable and updated web map to locate food banks.
DiscoverCurrently in the municipality of Northumberland County there are no effective web-based applications that users can rely on to find fresh, local food. In March 2020, all thirteen Northumberland County food banks closed except for one location due to COVID-19 restrictions. This led to a disruption to the food distribution supply chain and confusion to food bank users. There was mass confusion about which food bank was still available, and which ones were closed. The confusion from the shutdown affected the vulnerable population and led to people not having access to food. With a current collaborative project partnered with Sustainable Cobourg underway, Web Charlie plans on bringing a new web-based food accessibility tool and solution to Northumberland County residents.
Our goal is to set out and create a web map with local fresh food locations that is accessible to users on a responsive mobile platform.
Ideal: Users can go online in a mobile friendly web map to find fresh foods in the Cobourg area.
Reality: There is no web platform available for food availability in the Cobourg area.
Consequences: Users continue to lack support in finding food and failure to access food resources.
Proposal: Create a food bank web map that is accessible to users on a responsive mobile platform.
Over the span of couple weeks, our team tried different ways to implement the web solution. We came across some problems along the way and tried to find workarounds for our final product. This section will detail what we have tried and what we did to overcome the issue.
From our friend Sustainable Cobourg’s ArcGIS Online Web Map, we were able to find a feature service layer at their ArcGIS REST Services Directory. We looked at using the query function within the query to get a web response that matches what Mapbox can intake. We made sure to use an SQL query “Name IS NOT NULL” to make sure we selected all the food banks. The advantage of this method is being able to get point data as well as the description directly from the ArcGIS Online source, instead of having to make manual changes every time Sustainable Cobourg updates their feature layer.
Problem: The team attempted to use the GeoJSON queried directly from the feature service via the REST endpoint, but it was unsuccessful due to the fact it is not native to Mapbox and required heavy request modification.
The issue was that the web request to the feature service layer was not configured properly and they could not be projected on the Mapbox.
From here we extracted the GeoJSON using a query to place into Mapbox map. Markers showed up and our next issue were the pop-up windows. Through Mapbox tutorials and research, we figured out the solution to display the specific attributes that we wanted from the properties section. We needed to configure the code from the tutorial slightly to fit our requirements and needs.
Problem: What we had trouble with was changing the marker symbols so that they cluster properly.
Our goal is to automate the updated Foodbanks layer from ArcGIS Online and have that linked to the Mapbox map, where we won’t need to query for the GeoJSON and paste into Mapbox every time we have a new updated point. We want to be able to paste the REST endpoint URL into Mapbox instead of using GeoJSON. We are still figuring out the correct formatting to achieve this. This leads us to phase three, trying a different platform.
Progressing with the project we looked for other ways we could improve the usability of our map in a mobile friendly way. We turned to Leaflet to see how they implement feature layer as a URL. From this tutorial, we were able to achieve pasting the REST endpoint URL and adding it to the map. From there, we added the pop-up windows and the properties that we wanted to display just to try.
Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library and can be enhanced with different web applications such as Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, and Esri suite. It is a native environment that adapts with Esri products seamlessly. Our next steps include adding more customized map elements so that it has even better aesthetic appeal for a wide audience.
At the height of Covid-19 pandemic around March 2020, the Northumberland County witnessed the consequences of food deserts in their municipality on their citizens. The lack of access to fresh food for food insecure persons led to Sustainable Cobourg’s call to action – to create an interactive web friendly map for users and organizations to set up optimal locations for pop-up food distribution sites.
The primary Mapbox solution requires manual updating. The team thought it would be interesting to provide an alternative solution using Esri leaflet. This solution leverages the feature service directly from Sustainable Cobourg’s ArcGIS Online account. If the feature service layer is updated here, then the icons would automatically update.
Using the published web map from our Sustainable Cobourg’s ArcGIS Online account, we exported the food banks layer as a GeoJSON file and downloaded the file into our GitHub folder via VS Code. We stylized the basemap in Mapbox and added markers for each point along with popup windows for the properties of each point. Below will be a brief highlight of the steps that we took to come to our solution.
Our initial step in creating the solution was to come up with a visually appealing basemap using Mapbox Studio. The team went with a blue monochrome color because it was simple and did not have distracting stylings. It was the easiest template to start working with.
From Sustainable Cobourg's ArcGIS Online account, we found the Project Cobourg Web Map. From there we went into the layers to retrieve the Food_Banks (0) Feature Server REST endpoint. This was followed by creating a Query for GeoJSON of the ArcGIS Online Food_Banks (0) FeatureServer. Once we received the GeoJSON return, we saved the output as a GeoJSON file and placed into our repository on GitHub via VS Code.
Once the GeoJSON file was extracted and placed into our repository, we moved onto installing Mapbox to add to our web page. Here are the steps to "Install Mapbox GL JS: Add Mapbox to your app or website".
Add "mapboxgl.accessToken" that was copied from Step 2 along with a variable for the map window. Here you can style the basemap and paste into link and set the zoom level as well as the center coordinates of your study area. We selected zoom 9 and centered it in Northumberland County. The blue monochromatic basemap was a custom style created by in Mapbox studio. Next, add GeoJSON that was queried from Step 1 into HTML web page under function "map.AddSource".
Next, add Markers & Title Description for each point on the map. We customize the font size, family, offset from the default styling.
Finally, add pop-up windows to points using attributes from properties section.
Find workflow to automate updates. We found that integrating Mapbox Styling with Leaflet URL input would be our best option moving forward.

--- layout: post title: Link accessibility – Colors are not enough subtitle: How to make hyperlinks accessible for everyone date: 2017-10-06 background: /img/posts/2017-10-06/cover.jpg redirect_from: /link-accessibility-colors-not-enough/ ---
According to a less frequently mentioned accessibility principle, hyperlinks inside text blocks shouldn't be solely distinguished by color. Not only because users with low vision, color deficiency, and other visual impairments can't always recognize these links, but it's also easier for regular users to skim through the content if links are better emphasized.
However, it's not always easy to find a good solution for link design that matches your website's design. It's also possible to overdo it by using too many visual signifiers that confuse the user. In this post, I'll show you some examples of how to use non-color elements to indicate the presence of links.
When we speak about links, we usually think of the classic blue links with the underline, however there are actually different kinds of links, such as:
In this article, I'll only speak about the first group, body text links. Don't read it as a guideline but rather an experiment for understanding what can be done for better link accessibility.
According to WebAIM's guidelines about links and hypertext, WCAG 2.0 has two additional requirements for body text links:
Browsers have a default link styling you can check out by disabling all styles using the Web Developer Toolbar.
For instance, this is how the homepage of the Mozilla Developer Network looks like in Chrome:
It's a very basic styling for sure, but it's still styling: the underlined blue links are well-known and internet users can easily recognize them. It's not a coincidence that the Nielsen-Norman Group also considers blue the safest link color choice in its Beyond Blue Links: Making Clickable Elements Recognizable article.
WebAIM doesn't recommend removing the underline with CSS, as "users are accustomed to see links underlined". Sadly, many of the biggest websites don't follow this principle and they don't only remove the underline from the default link style but also from the :hover
state.
Why do they do so? Most likely for aesthetical reasons, however underlined links don't necessarily have to be plain-looking.
For instance, Bloomberg uses the border-bottom
property to mimic an underline—but in a different color (link text is black, underline is blue).
Perhaps Bloomberg's links could further benefit from bold letters, but it's a good example that underline can be used for links creatively, not just in the usual way.
The Verge uses a different approach to body text link underlines. The underline is present by default, however it gets removed when the user hovers the link. At the same time when the underline disappears, the color also changes subtlely, from pink to magenta (however this color change is barely recognizable).
The presence of the underline in the default state helps readers easily notice the link. And, when they hover the link, the state change is instantly visualized by the disappearing underline. An unusual choice, for sure, but it still follows the accessibility principle of using non-color designators for links.
You can also help users recognize links by adding tiny icons next to them. For example, some news sites add a video icon next to links that point to videos (however, embedding videos is a more widely used practice these days).
WebAIM chose an all-inclusive solution for link visibility. Besides the underline, they also add a small icon after each external link. So, the icon doesn't only serve as an extra visual signifier but also clearly distinguishes external and internal links.
You don't necessarily need to create a link icon by yourself. For instance, Font Awesome has an external link icon you can quickly add to your links.
As screen readers notify users when they come across a link, it's not recommended to use phrases such as "link to" or "follow this link" as link text. Instead, you should provide link texts that describe the main content of the link. It makes it easier for users to decide if they want to click the link, which is especially important for users with cognitive disabilities.
WCAG 2.0 even has a recommendation on how to provide proper link texts, with a handful of useful examples (mainly for image links, though).
If you want an example for properly done link text I would mention the Gov.uk website that publishes governmental information in the UK. For instance, have a look at their Set up a business" page.
Take a look at, for instance, the "Find out more about being a sole trader and how to register" line. Note how they put the anchor tag on the part that describes the purpose of the link instead of the action verb (i.e. "Find out more").
title
attributeThe role of the title
global attribute in link accessibility is an interesting question. When you add it to a link, the extra information appears somewhere around the link when users hover it.
For instance, take the following line of code:
Hover this link, don't click it.
It's displayed like this in the browser: Hover this link, don't click it.
I've long thought that adding the title
attribute to links is a good practice for accessibility, as the extra information helps users understand the purpose of the link. However, WCAG 2.0 has a slightly different view on the question.
In their "Supplementing link text with the title attribute" document, they mention several accessibility problems. For example, the content of the title
attribute isn't available to assistive technology and keyboard-only users. Besides, it disappears after around five seconds in some user agents, which doesn't leave enough time to read it.
On the whole, WCAG 2.0 doesn't advise against the title
attribute but recommends careful usage. One thing is sure, never use title
for important information that is not available in other forms, such as warnings. However, it's another question that if it can only be used for unimportant information is it worth using at all?
There are five different link states, represented by CSS pseudo-classes: :hover
, :focus
, :active
, :visited
, and :link
.
It's an open question whether it's better for accessibility to style all link states differently or not. If you use different style rules for each state users are notified about every change, however is that always a good thing? Too many state changes can cause information overload and confusion to the user.
I tend to create one style for the default link state, a second one for the :hover
, :active
, and :focus
states, and sometimes a third one for :visited
links. However, I still can't tell if this is the best solution for accessibility. If you are interested in the topic here's an interesting StackOverflow UX discussion on whether the styling of the :focus
and :hover
states should be the same or distinct.
However, there's an important thing you should follow by any means. Don't remove the dotted outline that browsers use for the :focus
state, as tab navigation needs it to make the focused element visible. If you remove it keyboard users lose focus, literally. If you're annoyed by the default outline style make it less obtrusive with extra styling, but don't remove it.


Wong Kar-Wai is in the middle of one of the most exciting periods of sustained brilliance in some time. Although it would be sheer hyprbole and, frankly, totally out of order to compare it to Godard in the 60's I'm sure it won't be long before someone does. It was a relief to have Happy Together land in the Ottawa region, particularly after being denied the inestimable treat that is Fallen Angels (Wong Kar-Wai's fourth film that never made it here). The film has no doubt benefitted from the 'Best Direction' accolade it earned at Cannes last year. Although, praised or not, there is really no need to look for an excuse to show Wong's films. He is one of the most unique filmmakers practicing today and has shown the ability and willingness to transcend and challenge past triumphs. It would be easy to imagine an interminable series of variations on Chungking Express's style and technique but instead the director has treated it as one step in his filmmaking. Some will argue that Fallen Angels disproves this, and they may be right (though I would beg to differ) but the fact remains that taken as a whole the filmmaker's canon (Days of Being Wild, Ashes of Time) is void of redundancy.
The film chronicles the trials and tribulations of a gay man whos trip to Argentina with his partner has not turned out as planned. The film is about their relationship: jealousy, ambiguity, hypocrisy and sincerity. It is about travel: spontanaeity, discovery, adventure and the unexpected. It is about Hong-Kong: It's limitlessness, isolation and ambivalence. And it is about a million other things that I surly missed altogether.
This is only the most superficial layer of the film. It is cursory, maybe even unimportant since Wong's and DOP Christopher Doyle's off-balance style take center stage. Although the events and situations in Wong's films are never banal or uninteresting the real strength of the filmmaker is his abiltiy to appropriately employ every facet of the medium. The photography in this film consists of murky gray-scale scenes or sepia tinted, washed out colour. The colour is controlled quite carefully with the sepia occasionally being replaced by more natural skin tones as to create certain associations between the state of the relationships shown. One effect of this cinematography is a bewildering number of allusions emerging. The use of sound in the film is equally complex: Wong has a predilection for voiceover which is a device that can easily get annoying. It was used expertly in Chungking. It's use in Happy Together, however, is comparatively spare. The relative futility of spoken words is alluded to by the repeated references to nature (the waterfall) and in the bar scene in which Liu is asked to leave a message on a tape recorder and can only muster sobs. In this way the confusion and difficulty of expression that the protagonists seem to experience is mirrored by the film's technique. This provides a very distinct tone compared to the dismayed though rarely verbally challenged characters of Chungking Express.
The narrative technique used can best be descrtibed as non-continuous. It contains fragments, repetitions isolated musings and coincidences. The film ends up feeling like a rough copy, however, further inspection betrays this first impression. I am not sure why but an event that should be little more than an awkward sledgehammer beating of a point to death such as the Taiwanese friend's trip to the 'bottom of the world' seems eleagant in Wong's hands. Scenes that could deceptively be passed off as filler like the repeated soccer games with the many bumps, touches and glances that Liu throws his Taiwanese friend speak volumes. And cruel coincidence that could feel totally contrived such as the bathroom scene in which Liu resorts to acts he has condemned earlier in the film feel absolutely perfect. Perhaps it is because Wong places his emphasis in the right places. There is no long deliberate scripting process (thought to be essential for a well planned relatively low budget shoot) instead his last three films were largely based on notes and sketches made on the day of shooting. The result is a very specific spontanaeity to the films. There are no heavy handed compositions or forced symmetries. Instead the films seem to be the result of intuitively collecting the right material and then rigorously editing it together. I have already heaped enough praise on the results that these methods yield.
When so much cinema seems to be at pains to push the limits of content: more violence, more nudity, more shock therapy Wong Kar-wai seems much more interested in pushing the limits of how things are said and told as opposed to what is told. On this basis, Happy Together seems linked to Sokurov's Mother and Son. The two films are negatives of each other that on first glance could not be more different. Both films however, render wholly new methods of expression positioning themselves well ahead of their peers and their time. -- -Omar Odeh http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/3920

METRO A film review by Paul Haynes Copyright 1997 Paul Haynes
Metro * * * (Out of Four) R, 1997, 122m. Filmed in Panavision. Distributed by Beuna Vista.
Like a good action film should, "Metro" has action that keeps you involved. Some action films have action sequences that are so conventional, our attention is detracted and diverted by other thoughts. "The Ghost in the Darkness," which opened a few months ago, is a film that s action was so bland and uninvolving, it not only invited my thoughts to divert me, it nearly put me asleep. But "Metro" is one of the best action films in a while. It is hip, sharp, nifty, and has nice little pieces of suspense and comedy.
Eddie Murphy was in bad shape for a while. And this invites me to mention last year s "The Nutty Professor," which was his blessed revival back to the position at which he used to be. "Metro" happens to be a lot better than any film in the "Beverly Hills Cop" series. That is because "Metro" takes itself seriously, but doesn t prevent itself from having a little fun. Eddie Murphy is at his best in the roles of responsible, and controlled people. The "Beverly Hills Cop" movies all featured Eddie as a reckless, wild cop, always crossing the line by just an inch. In "Metro" he plays a hostage negotiator, so negotiation is his job, not his hobby or his preferred way out of trouble. His character in "Metro" takes himself seriously. Eddie Murphy s mischievous trademark grin is hardly anywhere to be found in "Metro," and perhaps it is quite better off that way.
Murphy plays Scott Roper, and as I previously mentioned, he is a San Francisco hostage negotiator. In the first tense situation in the film, we are introduced to Roper s kind of work, as he tries to calm down a confused, unkempt young criminal who has taken captive the entire capacity of the San Francisco bank he is holding up. Murphy handles the scene seriously, without his usual happy-go-lucky, misfit humor.
The film develops when its villain is established, and the villain here is the beguiling Michael Korda, a jewel thief, and murderer who likes to let cops know of his hostage fatalities by giving them the ear of the victim.
"Metro" takes different twists and slight turns, and there is one great, virtuoso chase scene, involving the a cable car. Cars flip. Cars crash. Cars turn over. And it is done so good in this film, I was reminded of "Speed," and the speeding bus that couldn t go under fifty mile per hour for very significant reasons. There are also some other good scenes in "Metro" that a lot of films would rather choose not to have. Scenes like the one with Roper and his new partner are at the horse track Roper is a gambler who knows all the tricks and Roper teaches his partner a few little methods of betting and winning. Of course, the writers tried to disguise the scene as being insignificant by having Roper draw parallels between Hostage Negotiation and gambling. The scenes between Roper and his girlfriend are nice, too. Those are the scenes that make up "Metro," which is mainly about Eddie Murphy s maturing as a personality.
The actor that I most enjoyed seeing in "Metro" was Michael Rapaport, who plays Roper s new partner, a lip-reading, book-skimming genius, and a master of observation. It was not the actor s presence that pleased me as much as the role he was cast in the role of a proclaimed genius. Rapaport is an actor who I usually see in the role of the dimwit the really, really dopey dimwit. I hardly recognized him in "Metro," and it was quite a joy to be able to see him in a role like this I feel that I respect him more.
There are two main types of villains in movies like this: the ones that are part of the story, and the ones that are devices. The villain in "Metro" is no more than a device, but he is a darn good villain nonetheless. He is played by Michael Wincott, whose voice is pushed out in a abraded rasp, as if he smokes a cigarette between every take. Wincott makes his villain, Korda, as mean as could be, the classic type of villain who would push an old lady down a flight of stairs just for kicks, like Richard Widmark in "Kiss of Death."
I liked "Metro," and I do not think would have worked with any other actor but Eddie Murphy. His past roles were the great ones but they were also a precursor to the maturing that would later take place, possibly from Murphy s growing as a person, now having a family. "Metro" is a no-nonsense movie. It works as a buddy movie, which it does not overplay. It works as a dry comedy, which it does not overplay. It works as a suspense film, which it does not overplay. And it works as an action film, where it does have a tendency to occasionally go all-out. But who cares? It still remains serious, and it does not overdo itself. Oh, and there were plenty of explosions in "Metro," as well. How nice it was of the filmmakers to give us those.
If there is one major objection I had to "Metro", it was the length, an
area where a lot of action films seem to wear out their welcomes. "Metro"
is a film that lasted a little too long, but it was still entertaining,
and it gave me something to do while I waited for it to end.

DESCRIPTION
A catch_exception_raise function is called by exc_server as the result of a kernel message indicating that an exception occurred within a thread. The exception_port parameter specifies the port named via a previous call to thread_set_exception_ports or task_set_exception_ports as the port that responds when the thread takes an exception.
The alternate message forms (the format being selected when the exception port was set) allow for selected thread state to be included.
NOTES
When an exception occurs in a thread, the thread sends an exception message to its exception port, blocking in the kernel waiting for the receipt of a reply. It is assumed that some task is listening (most likely with mach_msg_server) to this port, using the exc_server function to decode the messages and then call the linked in catch_exception_raise. It is the job of catch_exception_raise to handle the exception and decide the course of action for thread.
If the thread should continue from the point of exception, catch_exception_raise would return KERN_SUCCESS. This causes a reply message to be sent to the kernel, which will allow the thread to continue from the point of the exception. If some other action should be taken by thread, the following actions should be performed by catch_exception_raise:
- thread_suspend
-
This keeps the thread from proceeding after the next step.
- thread_abort
-
This aborts the message receive operation currently blocking
the thread.
- thread_set_state
-
(if using the catch_exception_raise form). Set the
thread's state so that it continues doing something else.
- thread_resume
- Let the thread start running from its new state.
A thread can have two exception ports active for it: its thread type specific exception port and the task type specific exception port. The kernel will try sending an exception message to both ports looking for a reply message with a return value of KERN_SUCCESS. The kernel tries the thread specific port first, then the task specific port. If the return value from the first exception message the kernel sends has a return value of KERN_SUCCESS, the thread continues (with a possibly modified state). If the return value is not KERN_SUCCESS, the kernel tries the second port. If that return value is KERN_SUCCESS, the thread continues; otherwise, the thread is terminated.
To get the effect of a non-success return value, the server interface should return MIG_DESTROY_REQUEST. This causes exc_server and mach_msg_server to destroy the kernel's request (as opposed to sending a reply with a KERN_SUCCESS value).
RETURN VALUES
A return value of KERN_SUCCESS indicates that the thread is to continue from the point of exception. A return value of MIG_NO_REPLY indicates that the exception was handled directly and the thread was restarted or terminated by the exception handler. A return value of MIG_DESTROY_REQUEST causes the kernel to try another exception handler (or terminate the thread). Any other value will cause mach_msg_server to remove the task and thread port references.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

Hello,

I'm thinking of using Gecode as a solver in my project. However the first hinder I've encountered was how to define a space and variables in Gecode. (I have some experience with Gecode, when I used only IntVar-s)

The problem is following.

I have a set of objects with some properties of types such as string, double, integer, etc.

This set defines my domain.

The input for my program is an object that has dependencies on the objects from the domain. Apart from that the input object puts constraints on the properties of the objects from object domain. Here's an example:

--------------------------------------

InputObject O1

property1 = "name"

property2 = 4.321

property3 = 2

dependency1 = "objectName"

--------------------------------------

Space:

D1 {obj1, obj2, obj3, ...}

The idea is to select one or more objects from D1 such that the name of an object is "objectName" AND it satisfies the constraints (property1, property2, etc.). There can be dozens of objects with "objectName", but only few can satisfy the constraints. And
this chain can be infinite, i.e. if selected object is obj1, it can also have dependencies on others (i.e. obj23), and it goes on and on.

The problem can be solved using DFS + backtracking. But I want to try Gecode first.

So the question is how to define an object in Gecode. Can it be expressed in terms of IntVar, IntVarArray? Should I create custom variable implementations, views, variable arrays?

Thanks!

Kind Regards, Dimitri Mazmanov.

General election 2019: Lib Dem candidate stands down to avoid Remain vote split
The Liberal Democrat candidate in Canterbury has stood down because he feared dividing the Remain vote.
Tim Walker said he was concerned standing would allow the Conservative candidate to take the seat from Labour.
Mr Walker said the Lib Dems had tried to do a deal with Labour over the seat, and when that failed he made the decision himself to stand down.
The Lib Dems told the BBC they will be selecting a new candidate to contest the Kent constituency.
Labour's Rosie Duffield took the seat from the Tories at the 2017 general election with a majority of only 187 votes.
The constituency voted 51% to leave the EU in the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Writing in the Guardian, Mr Walker said: "Politics does not always have to be grubby and small-minded; sometimes it's possible to acknowledge that what's at stake is more important than party politics - and personal ambition - and we can do what's right.
"In this invidious situation, both standing and not standing could be interpreted as weakness.
"But the nightmare that kept me awake was posing awkwardly at the count beside a vanquished Duffield as the Tory Brexiter raised her hands in triumph. I wanted no part in that."
Speaking earlier on Tuesday evening, before the news emerged, Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson was asked about whether her party could still do an electoral deal with Labour,
She told the BBC Labour had failed to engage in previous talks with Remain-supporting parties and said Labour "aren't really qualified to be a part of a Remain alliance".
Last week, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party announced an electoral pact, agreeing not to stand against each other in 60 seats in England and Wales.
On Monday, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage announced his candidates would not be standing in the 317 seats won by the Conservatives in the 2017 election.
The candidates standing in the Canterbury constituency announced so far are:
- Rosie Duffield (Labour)
- Anna Firth (Conservatives)
- Owen Prew (Brexit Party)
- Henry Stanton (Green Party)

Q: Can I delete only certain data from within indices?edit
A: It’s complicatededit
TL;DR: No. Curator can only delete entire indices.edit
Full answer:edit
As a thought exercise, think of Elasticsearch indices as being like databases,
or tablespaces within a database. If you had hundreds of millions of rows to
delete from your database, would you run a separate
DELETE from TABLE where date<YYYY.MM.dd
to assemble hundreds of millions of
individual delete operations every day, or would you partition your tables in a
way that you could simply run DROP table TABLENAME.YYYY.MM.dd
? The strain on
your database would be astronomical on the former and next to nothing on the
latter. Elasticsearch works much the same way. While Elasticsearch can
technically do both methods, for use-cases with time-series data (like logging),
we recommend dropping entire indices vs. the extremely I/O expensive search and
delete method. Curator was created to help fill that need.
While you can store different types within different indices (e.g. syslog-2014.05.05, apache-2015.05.06), this gets very expensive, very quickly in a totally different way. Each shard in Elasticsearch is a Lucene index. Each index requires a portion of the heap to exist and be kept current. If you have 3 daily indices with 5 primary shards each, you suddenly have reduced the available heap space for shard management by a factor of 3, having gone from 5 shards to 15, per index, not counting multiple indexes per day. The ways to mitigate this (if you pursue this route) include massive daily indexing boxes and using shard allocation/routing to move indices to specific members of the cluster where they can have less effect; keeping fewer days of information; having more nodes in your cluster, and so forth.
Conclusion:edit
While it may be desirable to have different life-cycles for your data, sometimes it’s just easier and cheaper to store everything as long as the longest life-cycle you wish to maintain.
Post-script:edit
Even though it is neither recommended [4], nor best practices, it is still possible to perform these search & delete operations yourself, using the Delete-by-Query API. Curator will not be modified to perform operations such as these, however. Curator is meant to manage at the index level, rather than the data level.
