Bitcoin (BTC) Price Trading Near Make-or-Break Levels
- Bitcoin price is declining and struggling to stay above the $9,000 support against the US Dollar.
- The price is could correct higher, but it might face resistance near the $9,200 and $9,300 levels.
- There is a declining channel forming with resistance near $9,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
- Both Ethereum and ripple are showing a few bearish signs below $185 and $0.2950 respectively.
Bitcoin price is struggling to start a fresh increase above $9,400 against the US Dollar. Therefore, there is a risk of another drop below the $9,000 support in the near term.
Bitcoin Price Analysis
After struggling near the $9,500 resistance, bitcoin started a steady decline against the US Dollar. BTC traded below a couple of key supports near the $9,400 and $9,320 levels.
Moreover, there was a break below the $9,200 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price even spiked below the $9,000 support area and traded to a new weekly low near the $8,951 level.
Recently, there was an upside correction above the $9,250 level. Besides, the price climbed above the $9,300 resistance, but it failed to gain momentum above $9,400. A high was formed near $9,452 and the price is currently declining.
There was a break below the $9,200 support, plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $8,951 low to $9,452 high. At the outset, bitcoin price is testing the $9,080 support area.
It seems like the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $8,951 low to $9,452 high is acting as a decent support. However, the main support is near the $9,000 level, below which there is a risk of an extended decline towards the $8,950 and $8,830 levels.
On the upside, there are many hurdles near the $9,200 and $9,300 levels. More importantly, the 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the $9,300 level to act as a hurdle.
Finally, there is a declining channel forming with resistance near $9,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, the price must climb above $9,300 and $9,400 to start a strong rise in the near term.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin is showing a few bearish signs below $9,200 and $9,300. It seems like there could be another bearish reaction below the $9,000 support. On the upside, the $9,300 level now holds the key for a fresh upward move.
Technical indicators:
Hourly MACD – The MACD is slowly moving into the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently moving higher and it could climb to 50.
Major Support Levels – $9,000 followed by $8,830.
Major Resistance Levels – $9,200, $9,300 and $9,400.


mem_fn.hpp |
|
boost::mem_fn is a generalization of the standard functions std::mem_fun and std::mem_fun_ref. It supports member function pointers with more than one argument, and the returned function object can take a pointer, a reference, or a smart pointer to an object instance as its first argument. mem_fn also supports pointers to data members by treating them as functions taking no arguments and returning a (const) reference to the member.
The purpose of mem_fn is twofold. First, it allows users to invoke a member function on a container with the familiar
std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&Shape::draw));
syntax, even when the container stores smart pointers.
Second, it can be used as a building block by library developers that want to treat a pointer to member function as a function object. A library might define an enhanced for_each algorithm with an overload of the form:
template<class It, class R, class T> void for_each(It first, It last, R (T::*pmf) ()) { std::for_each(first, last, boost::mem_fn(pmf)); }
that will allow the convenient syntax:
for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), &Shape::draw);
When documenting the feature, the library author will simply state:
Effects: equivalent to std::for_each(first, last, boost::mem_fn(pmf));
where boost::mem_fn can be a link to this page. See the documentation of bind for an example.
mem_fn takes one argument, a pointer to a member, and returns a function object suitable for use with standard or user-defined algorithms:
struct X { void f(); }; void g(std::vector<X> & v) { std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f)); }; void h(std::vector<X *> const & v) { std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f)); }; void k(std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<X> > const & v) { std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::mem_fn(&X::f)); };
The returned function object takes the same arguments as the input member function plus a "flexible" first argument that represents the object instance.
When the function object is invoked with a first argument x that is neither a pointer nor a reference to the appropriate class (X in the example above), it uses get_pointer(x) to obtain a pointer from x. Library authors can "register" their smart pointer classes by supplying an appropriate get_pointer overload, allowing mem_fn to recognize and support them.
[Note: get_pointer is not restricted to return a pointer. Any object that can be used in a member function call expression (x->*pmf)(...) will work.]
[Note: the library uses an unqualified call to get_pointer. Therefore, it will find, through argument-dependent lookup, get_pointer overloads that are defined in the same namespace as the corresponding smart pointer class, in addition to any boost::get_pointer overloads.]
All function objects returned by mem_fn expose a result_type typedef that represents the return type of the member function. For data members, result_type is defined as the type of the member.
Yes. For simple uses, mem_fn provides additional functionality that the standard adaptors do not. Complicated expressions that use std::bind1st, std::bind2nd or Boost.Compose along with the standard adaptors can be rewritten using boost::bind that automatically takes advantage of mem_fn.
No, unless you have good reasons to do so. mem_fn is not 100% compatible with the standard adaptors, although it comes pretty close. In particular, mem_fn does not return objects of type std::[const_]mem_fun[1][_ref]_t, as the standard adaptors do, and it is not possible to fully describe the type of the first argument using the standard argument_type and first_argument_type nested typedefs. Libraries that need adaptable function objects in order to function might not like mem_fn.
Yes, if you #define BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL.
Non-portable extensions, in general, should default to off to prevent vendor lock-in. Had BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL been defined automatically, you could have accidentally taken advantage of it without realizing that your code is, perhaps, no longer portable. In addition, it is possible for the default calling convention to be __stdcall, in which case enabling __stdcall support will result in duplicate definitions.
namespace boost { template<class T> T * get_pointer(T * p); template<class R, class T> unspecified-1 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) ()); template<class R, class T> unspecified-2 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) () const); template<class R, class T> unspecified-2-1 mem_fn(R T::*pm); template<class R, class T, class A1> unspecified-3 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) (A1)); template<class R, class T, class A1> unspecified-4 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) (A1) const); template<class R, class T, class A1, class A2> unspecified-5 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) (A1, A2)); template<class R, class T, class A1, class A2> unspecified-6 mem_fn(R (T::*pmf) (A1, A2) const); // implementation defined number of additional overloads for more arguments }
All unspecified-N types mentioned in the Synopsis are CopyConstructible and Assignable. Their copy constructors and assignment operators do not throw exceptions. unspecified-N::result_type is defined as the return type of the member function pointer passed as an argument to mem_fn (R in the Synopsis.) unspecified-2-1::result_type is defined as R.
Returns: p.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)() when t is an l-value of type T or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)() otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)() when t is of type T [const] or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)() otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t) is equivalent to t.*pm when t is of type T [const] or derived, get_pointer(t)->*pm otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t, a1) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)(a1) when t is an l-value of type T or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)(a1) otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t, a1) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)(a1) when t is of type T [const] or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)(a1) otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t, a1, a2) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)(a1, a2) when t is an l-value of type T or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)(a1, a2) otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
Returns: a function object f such that the expression f(t, a1, a2) is equivalent to (t.*pmf)(a1, a2) when t is of type T [const] or derived, (get_pointer(t)->*pmf)(a1, a2) otherwise.
Throws: Nothing.
This implementation supports member functions with up to eight arguments. This is not an inherent limitation of the design, but an implementation detail.
Some platforms allow several types of member functions that differ by their calling convention (the rules by which the function is invoked: how are arguments passed, how is the return value handled, and who cleans up the stack - if any.)
For example, Windows API functions and COM interface member functions use a calling convention known as __stdcall. Borland VCL components use __fastcall. UDK, the component model of OpenOffice.org, uses __cdecl.
To use mem_fn with __stdcall member functions, #define the macro BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_STDCALL before including, directly or indirectly, <boost/mem_fn.hpp>.
To use mem_fn with __fastcall member functions, #define the macro BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_FASTCALL before including <boost/mem_fn.hpp>.
To use mem_fn with __cdecl member functions, #define the macro BOOST_MEM_FN_ENABLE_CDECL before including <boost/mem_fn.hpp>.
It is best to define these macros in the project options, via -D on the command line, or as the first line in the translation unit (.cpp file) where mem_fn is used. Not following this rule can lead to obscure errors when a header includes mem_fn.hpp before the macro has been defined.
[Note: this is a non-portable extension. It is not part of the interface.]
[Note: Some compilers provide only minimal support for the __stdcall keyword.]
Rene Jager's initial suggestion of using traits classes to make mem_fn adapt to user-defined smart pointers inspired the get_pointer-based design.
Numerous improvements were suggested during the formal review period by Richard Crossley, Jens Maurer, Ed Brey, and others. Review manager was Darin Adler.
Steve Anichini pointed out that COM interfaces use __stdcall.
Dave Abrahams modified bind and mem_fn to support void returns on deficient compilers.
Daniel Boelzle pointed out that UDK uses __cdecl.

"I strove to speak - my voice utterly failed me; I could only think to myself, Is this fear?[223] It is not fear! I strove to rise; in vain; I felt weighed down by an irresistible force. Indeed, my impression was that of an immense and overwhelming Power opposed to my volition; that sense of utter inadequacy to cope with a force beyond man's, which one may feel physically in a storm at sea, in a conflagration, or when confronting some terrible wild beast - or rather, perhaps, the shark of the ocean, I felt morally. Opposed to my will was another will, as far superior to its strength as storm, fire and shark are superior in material force to the force of man.
"And now - as this impression grew on me - now came, at last, horror - horror of a degree that no words can convey. Still I retained pride, if not courage; and in my own mind I said: 'This is horror, but it is not fear; unless I fear I cannot be harmed; my reason rejects this thing; it is an illusion - I do not fear.'  And now, to add to my horror, the light began slowly to wane from the candles - they were not, as it were, extinguished, but their flame seemed very gradually withdrawn - it was[224] the same with the fire; the light was extinguished from the fuel; in a few minutes the room was in utter darkness. The dread that came over me, to be thus in the dark with that Thing, whose power was so intensely felt, brought on a reaction of nerve. In fact, terror had reached that climax, that either my senses must have deserted me, or I must have burst through the spell. I did burst through it. I found voice, though the voice was a shriek. I remember that I broke forth with words like these - 'I do not fear, my soul does not fear'; and at the same time I found the strength to rise. Still in that profound gloom I rushed to one of the windows - tore aside the curtain - flung open the shutters; my first thought was - LIGHT. And when I saw the moon high, clear and calm, I felt a joy that almost compensated me for my previous terror. There was the moon; there also was the light from the gas lamps in the deserted, slumberous street. I turned to look back into the room; the moon penetrated its shadow very palely and partially - but still there was light. The dark Thing, whatever it might be, was gone - except that I could yet see a dim shadow, which seemed the shadow of that shade against the opposite wall.
"My eye now rested on the table, and from[225] under the table (which was without cloth or cover - an old mahogany round table) there rose a hand, visible as far as the wrist. It was a hand, seemingly, as much of flesh and blood as my own, but the hand of an aged person - lean, wrinkled, small too - a woman's hand. That hand very softly closed on the two letters that lay on the table; hand and letters both vanished. Then there came the same three loud, measured knocks I had heard on the bed-head before this extraordinary drama commenced.
"As these sounds slowly ceased, I felt the whole room vibrate sensibly; and at the far end there rose, from the floor, sparks or globules, like globules of light, many colored - green, yellow, fire-red, azure. Up and down, to and fro, hither, thither, as tiny Will o' the Wisps, the sparks moved, slow and swift, each at its own caprice. A chair (as in the drawing-room below) was now advanced from the wall without apparent agency, and placed at the opposite side of the table. Suddenly, as forth from the air, there grew a shape, a woman's shape. It was distinct as a shape of life - ghastly as the shape of death. The face was that of youth, with a strange, mournful beauty; the throat and shoulders were bare; the rest of the form in a loose robe of cloudy white. It began sleeking its[226] long, yellow hair, which fell over its shoulders; its eyes were not turned towards me, but to the floor; it seemed listening, watching, waiting. The shadow of the shade in the background grew darker; and again I thought I saw the eyes gleaming out from the summit of the shadow - eyes fixed upon that shape.
"As if from the door, though it did not open, there grew out another shape, equally distinct, equally ghastly - a man's shape - a young man's. It was in the dress of the last century, or rather the likeness to such dress (for both the male and the female, though defined, were evidently unsubstantial, impalpable, simulacra, phantasms), and there was something incongruous, grotesque, yet fearful in the contrast between the elaborate finery, the courtly precision of that old-fashioned garb, with its ruffles and lace and buckles, and the corpse-like aspect and ghost-like stillness of the flitting wearer. Just as the male shape approached the female, the dark shadow started from the wall, and all three for a moment were wrapped in darkness. When the pale light returned, the two phantasms were as if in the grasp of the shadow, that towered between them, and there was a blood stain on the breast of the female; and the phantom male was leaning on its phantom sword, and blood seemed[227] trickling fast from the ruffles, from the lace; and the darkness of the intermediate Shadow swallowed them up - they were gone. And again the bubbles of light shot, and sailed, and undulated, growing thicker and thicker and more wildly confused in their movements.
"The closet door to the right of the fireplace now opened, and from the aperture there came the form of an aged woman. In her hand she held letters - the very letters over which I had seen the hand close; and behind her I heard a footstep. She turned round as if to listen, and then she opened her letters and seemed to read; and over her shoulder I saw a livid face, the face of a man long drowned - bloated, bleached - seaweed tangled in its dripping hair, and at her feet lay a form as of a corpse, and beside the corpse there towered a child, a miserable, squalid child, with famine in its cheeks and fear in its eyes. And as I looked in the old woman's face, the wrinkles and lines vanished; and it became the face of youth - hard-eyed, stony, but still youth; and the Shadow darted forth and darkened over these phantoms as it had darkened over the last.
"Nothing now was left but the Shadow, and on that my eyes were intently fixed, till again eyes grew out of the Shadow - malignant, serpent[228] eyes. And the bubbles of light again rose and fell, and in their disordered, irregular, turbulent maze, mingled with the wan moonlight. And now from these globules themselves, as from the shell of an egg, monstrous things burst out; the air grew filled with them; larvæ so bloodless and so hideous that I can in no way describe them except to remind the reader of the swarming life which the solar microscope brings before the eyes in a drop of water - things transparent, supple, agile, chasing each other, devouring each other - forms like nought ever beheld by the naked eye. As the shapes were without symmetry, so their movements were without order. In their very vagrancies there was no sport; they came round me and round; thicker and faster and swifter, swarming over my head, crawling over my right arm, which was outstretched in involuntary command against all evil things. Sometimes I felt myself touched, but not by them; invisible hands touched me. Once I felt the clutch of cold, soft fingers at my throat, I was still equally conscious that if I gave way to fear I should be in bodily peril; and I concentrated all my faculties in the single focus of resisting, stubborn will. And I turned my sight from the Shadow - above all, from those strange serpent eyes - eyes that[229] had now become distinctly visible. For there, though in nought else round me, I was aware that there was a WILL, and a will of intense, creative, working evil, which might crush down my own.
"The pale atmosphere in the room began now to redden as if in the air of some near conflagration. The larvæ grew lurid as things that live on fire. Again the room vibrated; again I heard the three measured knocks; and again all things were swallowed up in the darkness of the dark shadow - as if out of that darkness all had come, into that darkness all had returned.
"As the gloom receded, the Shadow was wholly gone. Slowly, as it had been withdrawn, the flame grew again into the candles on the table, again into the fuel in the grate....
"The room came once more calmly, healthfully into sight.
"Nothing more chanced for the rest of the night. Nor, indeed, had I long to wait before the dawn broke...."
[4] This is a common feature of haunted houses. - H.C.
Royalty and well-known personages have seen ghosts in all ages of the world's history; certainly they are not exempt from the common run of humanity so far as ghostly visitations are concerned! Mr. Stead has compiled a number of notable cases of this character, of which the following are probably the most noteworthy:
Henry IV. of France told D'Aubigne that, in the presence of himself, the Archbishop of Lyons, and three ladies of the Court, the Queen (Margaret of Valois) saw the apparition of a certain Cardinal afterwards found to have died at the moment.
Abel the Fratricide, King of Denmark, still haunts the woods of Poole, near the city of Sleswig.
Valdemar IV. haunts Gurre Wood, near Elsinore.
Charles XI., of Sweden, accompanied by his[231] chamberlain and state physician, witnessed the trial of the assassin of Gartavus III., which occurred nearly a century later.
James IV., of Scotland, was warned by an apparition against his intended expedition into England. He, however, proceeded and fell at Flodden Field.
Charles I., of England, was also warned by an apparition, but paying no heed, was disastrously defeated at Naseby.
Queen Elizabeth is said to have been warned of her death by the apparition of her own double.
Trajan and Caracalla both saw apparitions, which they recorded.
Theodosius and Julian the Apostate both beheld apparitions, at important crises in their lives.
Sir Robert Peel and his brother both saw Lord Byron in London when he was in reality lying dangerously ill of a fever in Patras. During the same fever, he also appeared to others.
Julius Caesar, Xerxes, Drusus, Pausanius, Dio[232] (General of Syracuse), Admiral Coligni all saw apparitions, which made a deep impression on them in every case.
Napoleon, at St. Helena, saw and conversed with the apparition of Josephine, who warned him of his approaching death. Blucher, on the day of his death, was also told of it by an apparition. General Garfield saw and conversed with his father, latterly deceased. Lincoln had a certain premonitory dream which occurred three times in relation to important battles, and the fourth on the eve of his assassination.
Dante, son of the poet, was visited in a dream by his father, who conversed with him and told him (correctly) where to find the missing thirteen cantos of the "Commedia."
Goethe saw his own double riding by his side under conditions which really occurred years later.
Tasso saw and conversed with beings invisible to those about him.
Cellini was dissuaded from suicide by the apparition of a young man who frequently visited and encouraged him.
Mozart was visited by a mysterious person who ordered him to compose a requiem, and came frequently to inquire after its progress, but disappeared on its completion, which occurred[233] just in time for its performance at his own funeral.

Thackery wrote: "It is all very well for you who have probably never seen spirit manifestations to talk as you do, but had you seen what I have witnessed you would hold a different opinion."
Hugh Miller, Maria Edgeworth, Captain Marryat, Madame de Stael, Sir Humphrey Davy, William Harvey, Francis Bacon, Martin Luther, George Fox, Cardinal Newman, Bishop Wilberforce, and many others have seen apparitions, or held converse with the unseen world in one form or another, as recorded by themselves.
Among the famous historical hauntings, we must not forget to mention the famous Cock Lane Ghost which occurred about 1760. According to a brief paragraph printed in the London Ledger, 1762, we read that:
"For some time a great knocking having been heard in the night, at the officiating parish clerk's of St. Sepulchre's, in Cock Lane near Smithfield, to the great terror of the family, and all means used to discover the meaning of it[234] having failed, four gentlemen sat up there last Friday night, among whom was a clergyman standing withinside the door, who asked various questions. On his asking whether anyone had been murdered, no answer was made; but on his asking whether anyone had been poisoned, it knocked one and thirty times. The report current in the neighborhood is that a woman was some time ago poisoned, and buried in St. John's Clerkenwell, by her brother-in-law."
These knockings and phenomena occurred for a considerable time, until the whole community became interested in the manifestations. While various theories were advanced at the time - and since - to explain this ghost, no definite conclusion has ever been arrived at.
The Drummer of Tedworth is a still older and equally famous ghost, who flourished about a hundred years before the Cock Lane Ghost, and was investigated (and the results carefully recorded) by Sir Joseph Glanvil, F.R.S., who wrote a book about the case: "Sadducismus Triumphatus," which was also devoted to the general phenomena of witchcraft. Here, also, we find records of unaccountable "knockings" and similar phenomena, which lasted for a considerable time, and which have never yet been explained.
The ghost which invaded John Wesley's house stayed with them for several years, and manifested his presence in a variety of elaborate and ingenious ways. Those who are interested in this ghost and his doings should read Wesley's Journal; also the various discussions, pro and con., which have appeared in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, from time to time. It is a most curious and suggestive record.
The Devils of Loudon might also be cited as an interesting case of psychic phenomena; and here trance, automatic speech, etc., were observed - as well as the usual physical phenomena. This is perhaps one of the earliest cases which was closely observed, and in which skeptical criticism was applied. This case will be found recorded in Mr. H. Addington Bruce's "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters."
History abounds in cases showing the apparent intrusion of spiritual help in time of trouble, and in the annals of military history, these accounts are not lacking. On several occasions, the Crusaders thought that they saw angelic hosts fighting for them - phantom horsemen charging the enemy, when their own utter destruction seemed imminent. In the wars between the English and the Scotch, several such cases were cited, and the Napoleonic wars also furnished examples. But the most striking evidence of this character - because the newest - and supported, apparently, by a good deal of first-hand and sincere testimony, is that afforded by the Phantom Armies seen in France during the retreat of the British army from Mons - the field of Agincourt. Cut off by overwhelming numbers, and all but annihilated, the British army fought desperately, but the 80,000 were opposed by 300,000 Germans, backed by a terrific[237] fire of artillery, and were indeed in a critical position. They were only saved, as we know, by the heroism of a small force of men - a rearguard - who were practically wiped out in consequence. At the most critical moment came what appeared to be angelic assistance. The tide of battle seemed to be stemmed by supernatural means. In a letter written by a soldier who actually witnessed these startling events, quoted by the Hon. Mrs. St. John Mildmay (North American Review, August, 1915), the following graphic account is given. Our soldier writes -
"The men joked at the shells and found many funny names for them, and had bets about them, and greeted them with music-hall songs, as they screamed in this terrific cannonade.... The climax seemed to have been reached, but 'a seven-times heated hell' of the enemy's onslaught fell upon them, rending brother from brother. At that very moment, they saw from their trenches a tremendous host moving against their lines. Five hundred of the thousand (who had been detailed to fight the rear-guard action) remained, and as far as they could see the German infantry was pressing on against them, column by column, a grey world of men - 10,000 of them, as it appeared afterwards. There was no hope[238] at all. Some of them shook hands. One man improvised a new version of the battle song Tipperary, ending 'and we shan't get there!' And all went on firing steadily.... The enemy dropped line after line, while the few machine guns did their best. Everyone knew it was of no use. The dead grey bodies lay in companies and battalions, but others came on and on, swarming and advancing from beyond and beyond.
"'World without end, Amen,' said one of the British soldiers, with some irreverence, as he took aim and fired. Then he remembered a vegetarian restaurant in London, where he had once or twice eaten queer dishes of cutlets made of lentils and nuts that pretended to be steaks. On all the plates in this restaurant a figure of St. George was printed in blue with the motto, Adsit Anglis Sanctus Georgius (May St. George be a present help to England!) The soldier happened to know 'Latin and other useless things,' so now, as he fired at the grey advancing mass, 300 yards away, he uttered the pious vegetarian motto. He went on firing to the end, till at last Bill on his right had to clout him cheerfully on the head to make him stop, pointing out as he did so that the King's ammunition cost money and was not lightly to be wasted....[239] For, as the Latin scholar uttered his invocation, he felt something between a shudder and an electric shock pass through his body. The roar of the battle died down in his ears to a gentle murmur, and instead of it, he says, he heard a great voice louder than a thunder peal, crying 'Array! Array!' His heart grew hot as a burning coal, then it grew cold as ice within him, for it seemed to him a tumult of voices answered to the summons. He heard or seemed to hear thousands shouting:
"'St. George! St. George!
"'Ha! Messire, Ha! Sweet Saint, grant us good deliverance!
"'St. George for Merrie England!
"'Harow! Harow! Monseigneur St. George, succour us, Ha! St. George! A low bow, and a strong bow, Knight of Heaven, aid us!'
"As the soldier heard these voices, he saw before him, beyond the trench, a long line of shapes with a shining about them. They were like men who drew the bow, and with another shout their cloud of arrows flew singing through the air toward the German host. The other men in the trenches were firing all the while. They[240] had no hope, but they aimed just as if they had been shooting at Bisley.
"Suddenly one of these lifted up his voice in plain English. 'Gawd help us,' he bellowed to the man next him, 'but we're bloomin' marvels! Look at those grey gentlemen! Look at them! They're not going down in dozens or hundreds - its thousands it is! Look, look! There's a regiment gone while I'm talking to ye!'
"'Shut it,' the other soldier bellowed, taking aim. 'What are ye talkin' about?' But he gulped with astonishment even as he spoke, for indeed the grey men were falling by the thousands. The English could hear the guttural scream of their revolvers as they shot, and line after line crashed to the earth. All the while the Latin-bred soldier heard the cry 'Harow, Harow! Monseigneur! Dear Saint! Quick to our aid! St. George help us!'
"The singing arrows darkened the air, the hordes melted before them. 'More machine guns,' Bill yelled to Tom. 'Don't hear them,' Tom yelled back, 'but thank God, anyway, that they have got it in the neck!'
"In fact, there were ten thousand dead German soldiers left before that salient of the English army, and consequently - no Sedan. In Germany the General Staff decided that the[241] English must have employed turpenite shells, as no wounds were discernible on the bodies of the dead soldiers. But the man who knew what nuts tasted like when they called themselves steak, knew also that St. George had brought his Agincourt Bowmen to help the English."
Such accounts have been confirmed by others. Thus, Miss Phyllis Campbell, writing in "The Occult Review" (October, 1915), says:
"I tremble, now that it is safely past, to look back on the terrible week that brought the Allies to Vitry-le-Francois. We had not had our clothes off for the whole of that week, because no sooner had we reached home, too weary to undress, or to eat, and fallen on our beds, than the 'chug-chug' of the commandant's car would sound into the silence of the deserted street, and the horn would imperatively summon us back to duty - because, in addition to our duties as ambulancier auxiliare, we were interpreters to the post, now at this moment diminished to half-a-dozen.
"Returning at 4.30 in the morning, we stood on the end of the platform, watching the train crawl through the blue-green mist of the forest, into the clearing, and draw up with the first wounded from Vitry-le-Francois. It was packed with dead and dying and badly wounded.[242] For a time we forgot our weariness in a race against time - removing the dead and dying, and attending to those in need. I was bandaging a man's shattered arm with the majeur instructing me, while he stitched a horrible gap in his head, when Madame de A - - , the heroic president of the post, came and replaced me. 'There is an English in the fifth wagon,' she said. 'He wants something - I think a holy picture!'
"The idea of an English soldier wanting a holy picture struck me, even in that atmosphere of blood and misery, as something to smile at - but I hurried away. 'The English' was a Lancashire Fusilier. He was propped in a corner, his left arm tied-up in a peasant woman's handkerchief, and his head newly bandaged. He should have been in a state of collapse from loss of blood, for his tattered uniform was soaked and caked in blood, and his face paper-white under the dirt of conflict. He looked at me with bright, courageous eyes and asked for a picture or a medal (he didn't care which) of St. George. I asked him if he was a Catholic. 'No,' he was Wesleyan Methodist, ... and he wanted a picture or a medal of St. George, because he had seen him on a white horse, leading the British at Vitry-le-Francois, when the Allies turned.
"There was an F.R.A. man, wounded in the[243] leg, sitting beside him on the floor; he saw my look of amazement, and hastened in: 'It's true, sister,' he said. 'We all saw it. First there was a sort of yellow-mist like, sort of risin' before the Germans as they came on the top of the hill - come on like a solid wall, they did - springing out of the earth just solid - no end to 'em! I just give up. No use fighting the whole German race, thinks I; it's all up with us. The next minute comes this funny cloud of light, and when it clears off, there's a tall man with yellow hair in golden armour, on a white horse, holding his sword up, and his mouth open as if he was saying: "Come on, boys! I'll put the kybosh on the devils!" Sort of "This is my picnic" expression. Then, before you could say "knife," the Germans had turned, and we were after them, fighting like ninety....'
"'Where was this?' I asked. But neither of them could tell. They had marched, fighting a rearguard action, from Mons, till St. George had appeared through the haze of light, and turned the enemy. They both knew it was St. George. Hadn't they seen him with a sword on every 'quid' they'd ever seen? The Frenchies had seen him too - ask them; but they said it was St. Michæl...."
Much additional testimony of a like nature[244] might be given - and has been collected by students of psychical research. If the spiritual world ever intervenes in matters mundane, it assuredly did so on this occasion. And it could hardly have chosen a more opportune time. Could the aspiring thoughts of the dead and dying, and those still living and fighting for their country, have drawn "St. George" to earth, to aid in again redeeming his country from a foreign foe? Could a simple "hallucination" have been so widespread and so prevalent? Or might there not have been some spiritual energy behind the visions thus seen - stimulating them, and inspiring and encouraging the stricken soldiers? We cannot say. We only know what the soldiers themselves say; and we also know the undoubted effects upon the enemy. For on both occasions were the Germans repulsed with terrible slaughter. Perhaps the vision of St. George led our soldiers into closer touch and rapport with the consciousness of some high intelligence - or the veil was rent, separating the two worlds - as so often appears to be the case in apparitions and visions of this character.

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

Round the double-precision floating-point values in the source operand by the rounding mode specified in the immediate operand (see Figure 5-29) and places the result in the destination operand.
The destination operand (the first operand) is a ZMM/YMM/XMM register conditionally updated according to the writemask. The source operand (the second operand) can be a ZMM/YMM/XMM register, a 512/256/128-bit memory location, or a 512/256/128-bit vector broadcasted from a 64-bit memory location.
The rounding process rounds the input to an integral value, plus number bits of fraction that are specified by imm8[7:4] (to be included in the result) and returns the result as a double-precision floating-point value.
It should be noticed that no overflow is induced while executing this instruction (although the source is scaled by the imm8[7:4] value).
The immediate operand also specifies control fields for the rounding operation, three bit fields are defined and shown in the “Immediate Control Description” figure below. Bit 3 of the immediate byte controls the processor behavior for a precision exception, bit 2 selects the source of rounding mode control. Bits 1:0 specify a non-sticky rounding-mode value (Immediate control table below lists the encoded values for rounding-mode field).
The Precision Floating-Point Exception is signaled according to the immediate operand. If any source operand is an SNaN then it will be converted to a QNaN. If DAZ is set to ‘1 then denormals will be converted to zero before rounding.
The sign of the result of this instruction is preserved, including the sign of zero.
The formula of the operation on each data element for VRNDSCALEPD is
ROUND(x) = 2-M*Round_to_INT(x*2M, round_ctrl),
round_ctrl = imm[3:0];
M=imm[7:4];
The operation of x*2M is computed as if the exponent range is unlimited (i.e. no overflow ever occurs).
VRNDSCALEPD is a more general form of the VEX-encoded VROUNDPD instruction. In VROUNDPD, the formula of the operation on each element is
ROUND(x) = Round_to_INT(x, round_ctrl),
round_ctrl = imm[3:0];
Note: EVEX.vvvv is reserved and must be 1111b, otherwise instructions will #UD.
Handling of special case of input values are listed in Table 5-25.

B_sol = (sp.mu_0 * N_sol * I_rate)/l_sol
emf = (B_sol * area_sol)
E_NC = emf/(2 * sp.pi * r_wire)
# Print
, print the answers! Add:
print("Part 1: The average emf in the wire =", emf, "V")
print("Part 2: The non-Coulomb electric field in the wire =", E_NC, "V/m")
