THE RIGHT STUFF A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
People who enjoy science fiction are often faced with unpleasant surprises due to the improper labelling of novels, stories, comic books or movies. Often science fiction aficionados find material, previously labelled as science fiction, to be pure fantasy or supernatural horror, or rather simple techno-thriller. In such cases, mistakes are understandable - genre boundaries are never clearly marked. But, I believe there are really few cases when a movie labelled as science fiction actually happens to be straight historical epic. Such thing occurred in former Yugoslavia some fifteen years ago, when national distributors gave such treatment to THE RIGHT STUFF, 1983 film directed by Philip Kaufman.
The mistake of the distributors could be explained with the fact that the official poster of the film features men in space suits. But THE RIGHT STUFF film isn't even fiction. It was based on the non-fiction book by Tom Wolfe, covering the early years of American space program. The plot of the film begins in 1947 when few people heard of Edwards Air Force Base, major test site for experimental planes. The major aim of test flights is to determine ability of manned aircraft to reach 1 Mach speed and thus break the sound barrier. Many pilots tried to achieve that goal and many paid with their lives for such bravado. But one quiet pilot, Chuck Eager (played by Sam Shaped) succeeds and thus gives example for whole new generation of test pilots, determined to enter history books by breaking new speed records. Ten years later, Soviets have launched "Sputnik" marking the beginning of the Space Age. In order to regain national prestige, US government decides to be the first to send man into space. Best Air Force, Navy and Marine pilots are recruited into program, but not Yeager, because he lacks college education and desired all-American image.
In one of critics' polls THE RIGHT STUFF was named as one among top 10 films made in 1980s. Such high position could be explained with the fact that Kaufman's film looks quite atypical for its time. With more than three hours of length and epic scope it looked more suitable for 1950s and 1960s - age when Hollywood used to make films larger than life. But the real reason lies in the fact that it was made by truly remarkable and talented filmmaker. Philip Kaufman created reputation in 1970s by using all the opportunities of that Golden Age in order to create original, memorable movies. THE RIGHT STUFF was the last of them, swan song of an era when producers allowed directors to spend big bucks on unusual, risk-taking "artsy" projects.
THE RIGHT STUFF is unusual because it lacks many standard elements of Hollywood film. The plot is almost non-existent and not very coherent; the story, featuring many interesting incidents and anecdotes, shifts focus from the old generation of test pilots, embodied in Yeager, to new generation of the astronauts. The film also lacks conventional protagonist - Yeager (who also appears in small cameo) remains the true hero of the film, but equal time and exposure is also given to other astronauts and their wives, making this movie into ensemble piece. That gave opportunity for Kaufman to use multitude of great acting talents, until that specialised only for bit or character roles. Sam Shepard is great as Yeager, war hero whose greatest achievement - breech of the sound barrier - remained obscured in history books, probably due to his own modesty. On the surface, he lacks personality compared with his hyped and more fortunate astronaut colleagues, but Shepard gives texture to this character with subtle gestures and phrases. Shepard's performance is followed with great acting by Ed Harris as clean-cut Marine (and future politician) John Glenn. Young Dennis Quaid is more than fine as arrogant fighter jock Gordo Cooper, and this arrogance is mirrored in his friend and most tragic figure of Virgil Grissom, superbly played by Fred Ward. Always reliable character actor Scott Glenn provides some comic relief as Navy aviator and (arguably) first American man in space Alan Shepard. Kaufman left room for female talents to excel too - Barbara Hershey, Pamela Reed, Veronica Cartwright and Mary Jo Deschanel are great as pilots' wives. Royal Dano is also impressive as menacing figure of Preacher, but the most memorable performances belong to Donald Moffat as Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson and Jane Dornacker as Nurse Murch.
Great acting talent assembled for this film was mirrored with Kaufman's superb direction. Most notable of all is the methods Kaufman uses in order to suggest the passage of time. The beginning of the film shows test pilots living in the middle of desert, as virtual unknowns, far away from strict rules and discipline. Everything seems natural -Yeager can indulge himself in horse riding just few yards away from the fastest and most precious aircraft in the world. In that setting, it's quite normal for important technical problems to be solved with simple chainsaw and for the test pilots not to report their ribs being broken before most important flights. But the times are changing; WW2 alliance with USSR is replaced with Cold War, and "natural" pilots like Yeager must be replaced with more disciplined, conventional pilots. Their entire lives become focus of media frenzy, and their job is subjected to strict rules, meticulous plans and they must fight the bureaucrats, publicity-seeking politicians and uncaring scientists (like former Nazi rocket expert Werner von Braun, played by Scott Beach) only to preserve their most basic human dignity. This contrast is underlined with the beautifully edited sequence - while Yeager conducts his final and most spectacular test flight in absolute obscurity, "Mercury" astronauts receive fame and fortune, although some of them even before going in the space.
Those contrasts and similar effects are achieved with Kaufman's superb use of poetic movie language. Editing is great, and photography by Caleb Deschanel provides many memorable scenes like the funeral in the desert or astronauts in their suits walking in slow motion (the same image would be copied in many latter films). Although Kaufman enjoyed support of NASA and American military, which provided authentic locations and period equipment, he still had to use special effects in order to simulate space flights. Those effects are excellent and they can still fool the audience accustomed to CGI and real footage of Earth from outer space. Another fine contribution of this film is "Oscar"-awarded musical score by Bill Conti; I still tremble from excitement every time I hear it. It is accompanied with the use of Holst and Debussy. Some of the songs used in the background also provide authentic atmosphere of the historical period.
This film is great, and its cult status is well deserved, but there are some minor flaws. Some of the "Mercury" astronauts aren't fleshed out enough (although being played by fine actors, like Lance Henriksen). Film also lacks proper closure. On the other hand, most logical conclusion of the film - landing on the Moon - would require this film to be more than six hours long. Also, some critics were prone to attack this film as too Amerocentric and hard on Russians, who were portrayed as evil monsters, just in line with most virulent Cold War rhetoric of Reagan's America. In some of contemporary interviews, Kaufman defended that approach by claiming that he wanted to make film as authentic as possible, and in order to do that, he portrayed Russians not as they were in real life, but as they were perceived by Americans in early 1960s.
Time has passed; now we don't see astronauts as heroes. In this age of widespread satellite communications and routine space missions, those men and women in space suits are seen as mere maintenance workers. Few young boys want to be astronauts when they grow up. But this film, sentimental reminder of the times "when future began", perhaps could encourage at least some of them to follow "Mercury" astronauts' footsteps seek new frontiers in the sky. And even if they decide to stay on Earth, they could still appreciate THE RIGHT STUFF as an extraordinary piece of cinema.
RATING: 9/10 (++++)

One Pill ... Three Trips
T Ė 0:02: Slightly anxious. Listening to Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'.
T Ė 0:08: Slightly indecisive. Not sure if what I wrote is funny.
T Ė 0:10: Some kind of buzz. But clear headed.
T Ė 0:36: Nothing really. I forgot I took it.
T Ė 0:54: Kind of tired, headache on right side of my head.
T Ė 1:05: Going to play piano. Feeling normal.
T Ė 1:28: Piano was fun. Colors looking slightly brighter.
T - 2:30: Still nothing. Wait, getting CEV's and some OEV breathing.
Unfortunately this is where my notes stopped and the trip really began. Or at least the first one. The wall behind me became like a movie screen with strange images covering it. They were not frightening but I kind of thought they should have been. They are things like demons, skulls dark things. I know they are not real so I donít worry. Iím listening to ELP which was totally a good choice. Iím also seeing fake shadows that effect the lighting in the room like a real shadow would. As if someone were carrying a candle around and thus changing the lighting in the room.
I had heard 2CB users had some control of their trips and were able to switch to sober at will. I give this a try and had total success. I went up and watched hockey with my dad. My buddy J calls and heís on the way over. We chill in my basement for awhile listening to music and playing piano. By changing the notes Iím playing on the piano I can change the tint of the room. J and I drink two beers each while we are chilling here. We are supposed to meet my other buddy up at the pool hall. I donít really want to leave. I canít imagine leaving the music. However Iím assured Iím getting weed out of this so I agree.
Out of my basement the trip becomes quite different very much like what I would imagine MDMA to be like, however Iíve never done it so I canít be sure. Iím very happy and content with colors changing almost constantly. Iím getting tracers off of moving objects like the pool sticks. I donít even make an attempt to play pool, I couldnít follow the game at this point. I have been very thirsty for a long time and thus knowing about dehydration and drugs I have made quite an effort to stay hydrated. I bought a Dr. Pepper and refilled it with water repeatedly in the bathroom. While watching my friends play pool I hear them making excuses to why they missed shots.   It is obvious to me how little this matters.
My friends keep thinking Iím paying attention to the game but I totally am not. Finally we go out to the car to smoke. After blazing we start the drive home. We have a close encounter with a cop that everyone seemed to be convinced was trying to bust us. I can not verify this because I was tripping too hard to even see the cop. I knew he was near by but I was not nervous. At this point I was confident it would be impossible to have a bad trip off of 2cb. I was wrong.
I know this part of the trip started at T Ė 7:32 because I looked at my clock on the way in. The second I went into my house everything changed again. I had full blown lifelike OEVís which I could not differentiate from reality. Additionally disturbing time dilation. Sitting in a chair for a minute seemed like hours. I realized at this point I had to be very careful to control what I was thinking about to avoid getting terrifying lifelike visuals. Time was going so slow I wondered if I could solve one of the worldís biggest issues tonight because it seemed I had forever to think about anything. At this point I took actions to safe guard my safety.
First I took out my contact which was quite difficult because the visuals were actually fighting me.  However just when I realized what was happening I succeeded in getting them out.  Looking in the mirror I saw hallucinations that were unbelievable. My face was pulled in half via the two corners of my lips toward opposite sides of the room. One of my eyes was no longer blue but vivid green. My eyes had appeared on the shower curtain
I was not wearing a shirt and my mind built my abs into a perfect six pack. At this point I realized I might be able to exert some control over the OEVís. I tried thinking about different topics to see if I could conjure up any image I wanted. I tried to think about an old friend and see if I could make them appear in my room. I would get close but once I was almost there I would freak and it would disappear. I think with a trip sitter who could have helped pull me out of the trip if I started freaking out I would have be able to get to that point. I was too afraid the visions were getting too real.
Eventually I feel asleep and the next morning got up for work. This was at T Ė 11:58. I was still getting visuals so there was no way I could drive to work safely. I donít really remember what I was seeing at this point but it was enough to prevent me from driving. I called in sick and went back to bed. I woke up at about T Ė 16:00 and still saw some visuals but much diminished from before. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldnít. I eventually (T Ė 17:00ish) gave up on sleeping and got up. All the visuals were gone with very little afterglow effects.

Slicing¶
This section contains functions to make subsequences from iterators.
Basic¶
- fun.nth(n, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:nth(n)
- Parameters
n (uint) – a sequential number (indexed starting from
1
, like Lua tables)- Returns
n-th element of
gen, param, state
iterator
This function returns the n-th element of
gen, param, state
iterator. If the iterator does not have n items thennil
is returned.Examples:
> print(nth(2, range(5))) 2 > print(nth(10, range(5))) nil > print(nth(2, {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"})) b > print(nth(2, enumerate({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"}))) 2 b
This function is optimized for basic array and string iterators and has
O(1)
complexity for these cases.
- fun.head(gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:head()
- Returns
a first element of
gen, param, state
iterator
Extract the first element of
gen, param, state
iterator. If the iterator is empty then an error is raised.Examples:
> print(head({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"})) a > print(head({})) error: head: iterator is empty > print(head(range(0))) error: head: iterator is empty > print(head(enumerate({"a", "b"}))) 1 a
- fun.tail(gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:tail()
- Returns
gen, param, state
iterator without a first element
Return a copy of
gen, param, state
iterator without its first element. If the iterator is empty then an empty iterator is returned.Examples:
> each(print, tail({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"})) b c d e > each(print, tail({})) > each(print, tail(range(0))) > each(print, tail(enumerate({"a", "b", "c"}))) 2 b 3 c
Subsequences¶
- fun.take_n(n, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:take_n(n)
- Parameters
n (uint) – a number of elements to take
- Returns
an iterator on the subsequence of first n elements
Examples:
> each(print, take_n(5, range(10))) 1 2 3 4 5 > each(print, take_n(5, enumerate(duplicate('x')))) 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x
- fun.take_while(predicate, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:take_while(predicate)
- Returns
an iterator on the longest prefix of
gen, param, state
elements that satisfy predicate.
Examples:
> each(print, take_while(function(x) return x < 5 end, range(10))) 1 2 3 4 > each(print, take_while(function(i, a) return i ~=a end, enumerate({5, 3, 4, 4, 2}))) 1 5 2 3 3 4
See also
- fun.take(n_or_predicate, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:take(n_or_predicate)
An alias for
take_n()
andtake_while()
that autodetects required function based on n_or_predicate type.
- fun.drop_n(n, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:drop_n(n)
- Parameters
n (uint) – the number of elements to drop
- Returns
gen, param, state
iterator after skipping first n elements
Examples:
> each(print, drop_n(2, range(5))) 3 4 5 > each(print, drop_n(2, enumerate({'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'}))) 3 c 4 d 5 e
- fun.drop_while(predicate, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:drop_while(predicate)
- Returns
gen, param, state
after skipping the longest prefix of elements that satisfy predicate.
Examples:
> each(print, drop_while(function(x) return x < 5 end, range(10))) 5 6 7 8 9 10
See also
- fun.drop(n_or_predicate, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:drop(n_or_predicate)
An alias for
drop_n()
anddrop_while()
that autodetects required function based on n_or_predicate type.
- fun.span(n_or_predicate, gen, param, state)¶
- iterator:span(n_or_predicate)
- Returns
iterator, iterator
Return an iterator pair where the first operates on the longest prefix (possibly empty) of
gen, param, state
iterator of elements that satisfy predicate and second operates the remainder ofgen, param, state
iterator. Equivalent to:return take(n_or_predicate, gen, param, state), drop(n_or_predicate, gen, param, state);
Examples:
> each(print, zip(span(function(x) return x < 5 end, range(10)))) 1 5 2 6 3 7 4 8 > each(print, zip(span(5, range(10)))) 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9 5 10
Note
gen, param, state
must be pure functional to work properly with the function.See also

Many operating parameters of the debug environment are set through configuration options. Some of the configuration options control the behavior of the Mentor Embedded Sourcery Probe, some describe aspects of the target system.
| Note | |
|
Refer to Configuration Option Table for a comprehensive list of all the configuration options. |
|
Configuration options can be referred to by their full name, or an abbreviation consisting of the first character from each part of its name. For example, Reset_Address and Ice_Jtag_Clock_Freq can be referred to as RA and IJCF, respectively.
Some examples are listed here:
eo Trgt_Resets_JTAG = yes /*Informs the probe if the
target board will forward a system
reset (nSRST) to the JTAG interface
(nTRST),or reset the system only
without resetting the JTAG interface
*/
eo Ice_JTAG_Use_RTCLK = on /*Selects adaptive clocking mode*/
eo Ice_JTAG_Clock_Freq = 10 /*Specifies the the JTAG clock (TCK)
frequency (if IJUR=OFF)*/
eo ice_power_sense = VREF /*Enables the target power monitor*/
eo Ice_JTAG_TAP_Select = <num> /*Controls which TAP on a multi-TAP
daisy chain is associated with this debug connection */
To display a table of all the configuration options and their current settings, enter the DO command with no parameters.
To display a particular option, enter a DO command and specify the option name (or abbreviation).
For a verbose description of an option, use the DOV command.
To display only the option name and value with no commentary, use the DOQ version of the command.
An asterix (*) can be used as a wild card to display all configuration options that exactly match up to the *. For example, the following command displays all configuration options beginning with ice.
MON> DO // List ALL configuration option settings
MON> DO ice* // List ALL options startice with “ice”
MON> DOV Ice_Jtag_Tap_Select // Show details on this one
MON> DOV IJTS // Show details on Ice_Jtag_Tap_Select
MON> DOQ t* // Show the names and values of all options starting with T
The memory configuration (MC) table provides the Mentor Embedded Sourcery Probe with details about your memory system. It defines a memory map describing the characteristics of each range in the physical address space of the target system.
Display the MC table with the MC command. Issue the MC command with no parameters to display the entire memory configuration table. Use an MC command with an address range, but no attribute specifiers to display that part of the table.

The program calculates mean and standard deviation of loss by summary_id and by event_id.
None
$ [stdin component] | eltcalc > elt.csv

$ eve 1 1 | getmodel | gulcalc -r -S100 -c - | summarycalc -g -1 - | eltcalc > elt.csv
$ eltcalc < summarycalc.bin > elt.csv
No additional data is required, all the information is contained within the input stream.
For each summary_id and event_id, the sample mean and standard deviation is calculated from the sampled losses in the summarycalc stream and output to file. The analytical mean is also output as a seperate record, differentiated by a 'type' field. The exposure_value, which is carried in the event_id, summary_id header of the stream is also output.
csv file with the following fields;
| Name | Type | Bytes | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| summary_id | int | 4 | summary_id representing a grouping of losses | 10 |
| type | int | 4 | 1 for analytical mean, 2 for sample mean | 2 |
| event_id | int | 4 | Oasis event_id | 45567 |
| mean | float | 4 | mean | 1345.678 |
| standard_deviation | float | 4 | sample standard deviation | 945.89 |
| exposure_value | float | 4 | exposure value for summary_id affected by the event | 70000 |
Loss exceedance curves, also known as exceedance probability curves, are computed by a rank ordering a set of losses by period and computing the probability of exceedance for each level of loss based on relative frequency. Losses are first assigned to periods of time (typically years) by reference to the occurrence file which contains the event occurrences in each period over a timeline of, say, 10,000 periods. Event losses are summed within each period for an aggregate loss exceedance curve, or the maximum of the event losses in each period is taken for an occurrence loss exceedance curve. From this point, there are a few variants available as follows;
Wheatsheaf/multiple EP - losses by period are rank ordered for each sample, which produces many loss exceedance curves - one for each sample across the same timeline. The wheatsheaf shows the variation in return period loss due to sampled damage uncertainty, for a given timeline of occurrences.
Full uncertainty/single EP - all sampled losses by period are rank ordered to produce a single loss exceedance curve. This treats each sample as if it were another period of losses in an extrapolated timeline. Stacking the curves end-to-end rather then viewing side-by-side as in the wheatsheaf is a form of averaging with respect to a particular return period loss and provides stability in the point estimate, for a given timeline of occurrences.
Sample mean - the losses by period are first averaged across the samples, and then a single loss exceedance curve is created from the period sample mean losses.
Wheatsheaf mean - the loss exceedance curves from the Wheatsheaf are averaged across each return period, which produces a single loss exceedance curve.
The ranked losses represent the first, second, third, etc.. largest loss periods within the total number of periods of say 10,000 years. The relative frequency of these periods of loss is interpreted as the probability of loss exceedance, that is to say that the top ranked loss has an exceedance probability of 1 in 10000, or 0.01%, the second largest loss has an exceedance probability of 0.02%, and so on. In the output file, the exceedance probability is expressed as a return period, which is the reciprocal of the exceedance probability multiplied by the total number of periods. Only non-zero loss periods are returned.
An optional parameter is;
$ leccalc [parameters] > lec.csv
'First generate summarycalc binaries by running the core workflow, for the required summary set
$ eve 1 2 | getmodel | gulcalc -r -S100 -c - | summarycalc -g -1 - > work/summary1/summarycalc1.bin
$ eve 2 2 | getmodel | gulcalc -r -S100 -c - | summarycalc -g -1 - > work/summary1/summarycalc2.bin
'Then run leccalc, pointing to the specified sub-directory of work containing summarycalc binaries.
$ leccalc -Ksummary1 -F lec_full_uncertainty_agg.csv -f lec_full_uncertainty_occ.csv
' With return period file
$ leccalc -r -Ksummary1 -F lec_full_uncertainty_agg.csv -f lec_full_uncertainty_occ.csv
leccalc requires the occurrence.bin file
and will optionally use the following additional files if present
leccalc does not have a standard input that can be streamed in. Instead, it reads in summarycalc binary data from a file in a fixed location. The format of the binaries must match summarycalc standard output. The location is in the 'work' subdirectory of the present working directory. For example;
The user must ensure the work subdirectory exists. The user may also specify a subdirectory of /work to store these files. e.g.
The reason for leccalc not having an input stream is that the calculation is not valid on a subset of events, i.e. within a single process when the calculation has been distributed across multiple processes. It must bring together all event losses before assigning event losses to periods and ranking losses by period. The summarycalc losses for all events (all processes) must be written to the /work folder before running leccalc.
All files with extension .bin from the specified subdirectory are read into memory, as well as the occurrence.bin. The summarycalc losses are grouped together and sampled losses are assigned to period according to which period the events occur in.
If multiple events occur within a period;
Then the calculation differs by lec type, as follows;
For all curves, the analytical mean loss (sidx = -1) is output as a separate exceedance probability curve. If the calculation is run with 0 samples, then leccalc will still return the analytical mean loss exceedance curve. The 'type' field in the output identifies the type of loss exceedance curve, which is 1 for analytical mean, and 2 for curves calculated from the samples.
csv file with the following fields;
Full uncertainty, Sample mean and Wheatsheaf mean loss exceedance curve
| Name | Type | Bytes | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| summary_id | int | 4 | summary_id representing a grouping of losses | 10 |
| type | int | 4 | 1 for analytical mean, 2 for sample mean | 2 |
| return_period | float | 4 | return period interval | 250 |
| loss | float | 4 | loss exceedance threshold for return period | 546577.8 |
Wheatsheaf loss exceedance curve
| Name | Type | Bytes | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| summary_id | int | 4 | summary_id representing a grouping of losses | 10 |

| return_period | float | 4 | return period interval | 250 |
| loss | float | 4 | loss exceedance threshold for return period | 546577.8 |
An additional feature of leccalc is available to vary the relative importance of the period losses by providing a period weightings file to the calculation. In this file, a weight can be assigned to each period make it more or less important than neutral weighting (1 divided by the total number of periods). For example, if the neutral weight for period 1 is 1 in 10000 years, or 0.0001, then doubling the weighting to 0.0002 will mean that period's loss reoccurrence rate would double. Assuming no other period losses, the return period of the loss of period 1 in this example would be halved.
All period_nos must appear in the file from 1 to P (no gaps). There is no constraint on the sum of weights. Periods with zero weight will not contribute any losses to the loss exceedance curve.
This feature will be invoked automatically if the periods.bin file is present in the input directory.
The program outputs sample mean and standard deviation by summary_id, event_id and period_no. The analytical mean is also output as a seperate record, differentiated by a 'type' field. It also outputs an event occurrence date.
None
$ [stdin component] | pltcalc > plt.csv
$ pltcalc < [stdin].bin > plt.csv
$ eve 1 1 | getmodel | gulcalc -r -S100 -C1 | summarycalc -1 - | pltcalc > plt.csv
$ pltcalc < summarycalc.bin > plt.csv
pltcalc requires the occurrence.bin file
The occurrence.bin file is read into memory. For each summary_id, event_id and period_no, the sample mean and standard deviation is calculated from the sampled losses in the summarycalc stream and output to file. The exposure_value, which is carried in the event_id, summary_id header of the stream is also output, as well as the date field(s) from the occurrence file.
There are two output formats, depending on whether an event occurrence date is an integer offset to some base date that most external programs can interpret as a real date, or a calendar day in a numbered scenario year. The output format will depend on the format of the date fields in the occurrence.bin file.
In the former case, the output format is;
| Name | Type | Bytes | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| type | int | 4 | 1 for analytical mean, 2 for sample mean | 1 |
| summary_id | int | 4 | summary_id representing a grouping of losses | 10 |
| event_id | int | 4 | Oasis event_id | 45567 |
| period_no | int | 4 | identifying an abstract period of time, such as a year | 56876 |
| mean | float | 4 | mean | 1345.678 |
| standard_deviation | float | 4 | sample standard deviation | 945.89 |
| exposure_value | float | 4 | exposure value for summary_id affected by the event | 70000 |
| date_id | int | 4 | the date_id of the event occurrence | 28616 |
Using a base date of 1/1/1900 the integer 28616 is interpreted as 16/5/1978.
In the latter case, the output format is;
| Name | Type | Bytes | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| type | int | 4 | 1 for analytical mean, 2 for sample mean | 1 |
| summary_id | int | 4 | summary_id representing a grouping of losses | 10 |
| event_id | int | 4 | Oasis event_id | 45567 |
| period_no | int | 4 | identifying an abstract period of time, such as a year | 56876 |
| mean | float | 4 | mean | 1345.678 |
| standard_deviation | float | 4 | sample standard deviation | 945.89 |
| exposure_value | float | 4 | exposure value for summary_id affected by the event | 70000 |
| occ_year | int | 4 | the year number of the event occurrence | 56876 |
| occ_month | int | 4 | the month of the event occurrence | 5 |
| occ_year | int | 4 | the day of the event occurrence | 16 |
aalcalc computes the overall average annual loss and standard deviation of annual loss.
Two types of aal and standard deviation of loss are calculated; analytical (type 1) and sample (type 2). If the analysis is run with zero samples, then only type 1 statistics are returned by aalcalc.
aalcalc requires the occurrence.bin file
aalcalc does not have a standard input that can be streamed in. Instead, it reads in summarycalc binary data from a file in a fixed location. The format of the binaries must match summarycalc standard output. The location is in the 'work' subdirectory of the present working directory. For example;
The user must ensure the work subdirectory exists. The user may also specify a subdirectory of /work to store these files. e.g.
The reason for aalcalc not having an input stream is that the calculation is not valid on a subset of events, i.e. within a single process when the calculation has been distributed across multiple processes. It must bring together all event losses before assigning event losses to periods and finally computing the final statistics.

| mean | float | 8 | average annual loss | 6785.9 |
| standard_deviation | float | 8 | standard deviation of loss | 54657.8 |
The occurrence file and summarycalc files from the specified subdirectory are read into memory. Event losses are assigned to period according to which period the events occur in and summed by period and by sample.
For type 1, the mean and standard deviation of numerically integrated mean period losses are calculated across the periods. For type 2 the mean and standard deviation of the sampled period losses are calculated across all samples (sidx > 1) and periods.
An additional feature of aalcalc is available to vary the relative importance of the period losses by providing a period weightings file to the calculation. In this file, a weight can be assigned to each period make it more or less important than neutral weighting (1 divided by the total number of periods). For example, if the neutral weight for period 1 is 1 in 10000 years, or 0.0001, then doubling the weighting to 0.0002 will mean that period's loss reoccurrence rate would double and the loss contribution to the average annual loss would double.
All period_nos must appear in the file from 1 to P (no gaps). There is no constraint on the sum of weights. Periods with zero weight will not contribute any losses to the AAL.
This feature will be invoked automatically if the periods.bin file is present in the input directory.
In cases where events have been distributed to multiple processes, the output files can be concatenated to standard output.
Optional parameters are:
The sort by event ID option assumes that events have not been distributed to processes randomly and the list of event IDs in events.bin is sequential and contiguous. Should either of these conditions be false, the output will still contain all events but sorting cannot be guaranteed.
$ kat [parameters] [file]... > [stdout component]
$ kat -d pltcalc_output/ > pltcalc.csv
$ kat eltcalc_P1 eltcalc_P2 eltcalc_P3 > eltcalc.csv
$ kat -s eltcalc_P1 eltcalc_P2 eltcalc_P3 > eltcalc.csv
$ kat -s -d eltcalc_output/ > eltcalc.csv
Files are concatenated in the order in which they are presented on the command line. Should a file path be specified, files are concatenated in alphabetical order. When asked to sort by event ID, the order of input files is irrelevant.


Chapter 6 Lists and Sequences
In this module, we will cover using lists in Python, which is a data type representing a sequence of data values (similar to how a string
is a squence of letters, and a range
is a sequence of numbers). A list is a fundamental data type in Python, and key to writing almost all practical programs. Lists are used to store and organize large sets of data (and computer programs usually deal with lots of data). This module cover how to create, access, and utilize lists to automate the processing of larger amounts of data.
Contents
6.2 Lists
A list is a mutable, ordered sequence of values that are all stored in a single variable. For example, you can make a vector names
that contains the strings “Sarah”, “Amit”, and “Zhang”, or a vector one_to_hundred
that stores the numbers from 1 to 100. Each value in a list is refered to as an element of that list; thus our names
list would have 3 elements: "Sarah"
, "Amit"
, and "Zhang"
.
Lists are written as literals inside square brackets ([]
), with each element in the list separated by a comma (,
):
# a list of names
names = ["Sarah", "Amit", "Zhang"]
# a list of numbers (can contain "duplicate" values)
numbers = [1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 8]
# lists can contain different types (including other lists!)
things = ["raindrops", 2, True, [5, 9, 8]]
# lists can be empty (with no elements)
empty = []
- List variables should be named using plurals (name_s_, number_s_, etc.), because lists hold multiple values!
Other sequences (such as strings or ranges) can be converted into lists by using the built-in list()
function:
list("hello") # ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
list(range(1,5)) # [1, 2, 3, 4]
6.2.1 List Indices
We can refer to individual elements in a list by their index, which is the number of their position in the list. Lists are zero-indexed, which means that positions are counted starting at 0
. For example, in the list:
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
The 'a'
(the first element) is at index 0, 'e'
(the second element) is at index 2, and so on.
- This also means that the last element can be found at the index
length_of_list - 1
. This pattern is why values likerange(5)
include0
but exclude the last5
.
You can retrieve an element from a list using bracket notation: you refer to the element at a particular index of a list by writing the name of the list, followed by square brackets ([]
) that contain the index of interest:
names = ["Sarah", "Amit", "Zhang"]
# access the element at index 0
name_first = names[0]
print(name_first) # Sarah
# access the element at index 2
name_third = names[2]
print(name_third) # Zhang
# accessing an index not in the list will give an error
name_fourth = names[3] # IndexError!
# negative indices count backwards from the end
name_last = names[-1] # Zhang
name_second_to_last = names[-2] #Amit
The value inside the square brackets can any expression that resolves to an integer, including variables:
names[1+1] # "Amit"
last_index = len(names) - 1 # last index is length of list - 1
names[last_index] # "Zhang"
# Don't forget to subtract one from the length!
names[len(names)] # IndexError!
# Using an index of `-1` is a better solution
It is possible to select multiple, consecutive elements from a list by specifying a slice. A slice is written as the starting and ending indices separated by a colon (:
); the starting index is included and the ending index is excluded. For example:
letters = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
# indices 1 through 3 (non-inclusive)
letters[1:3] # ['b', 'c']
# indices 3 to the end (inclusive)
letters[3:] # ['d', 'e', 'f']
# indices up to 3 (non-inclusive)
letters[:3] # ['a', 'b', 'c']
# indices 2 to (2 from end) (non-inclusive)
letters[2:-2] # ['c', 'd'], the `e` is excluded
# all the indices. This produces a new list with the same contents!
letters[:]
An indexed reference to a list element (e.g., names[0]
) is effectively a variable in its own right: you can think of names[0]
, names[1]
, and names[2]
as being equivalent to having variables names_0
, names_1
, names_2
(each of which has its own value). Lists effectively provide a “shortcut” for having lots and lots of variables that are all related; instead we can “collect” those variables into a list!
Because list references are variables, they can be used anywhere that a “normal” variable can be. In particular, this means that variables can be assigned to them, allowing the list to be mutated (changed):
# a list of school supplies
school_supplies = ["Backpack", "Laptop", "Pen"]
# replace "Pen" with "Pencil"
school_supplies[2] = "Pencil"
print(school_supplies) # ['Backpack', 'Laptop', 'Pencil']
# You can only assign values to "variables" that exist in the list!
school_supplies[3] = "Paper" # IndexError!
Just as with variables: if the list index (e.g., my_list[index]
) is on the left side of an assignment, it means the variable (which “slot” in the list). If it is on the right side of an assignment, it means the value (which element is in that slot).
Finally, note that strings are also indexed sequences of characters. Thus you can use bracket notation to refer to individual letters, and many string methods utilize the index in their arguments:
message_str = "Hello world"
message_str[1:5] # "ello"
# find the index of the 'w'
message_str.find('w') # 6
6.3 List Operations and Methods
Lists support a number of different operations and methods (functions):
# Addition (+) to combine lists
['a','b'] + [1,2] # ['a', 'b', 1, 2]
# Multiplication (*) performs multiple additions
[1,2] * 3 # [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]
# A sample list
s = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
# Add value to end of list
s.append('x') # add 'x' at end
# Add value in middle of list
s.insert(2, 'y') # put 'y' at index 2 (everyone else shifts over)
# Remove from end of list ("pop off")
s.pop() # removes and returns the last item (`x`)
# Remove from middle
s.pop(2) # removes and returns item at index 2 (`y`)
# Remove specific value
s.remove('c') # remove the first 'c' in the list; nothing returned
# Remove all elements
s.clear()
- Note that list methods such as
append()
orclear()
usually mutate the existing list value and then returnNone
. In comparison, string methods (such aslower()
orreplace()
) will return a different string value. This is because lists can be changed, but strings cannot (they are immutable).
When comparing lists using a relational operator (e.g., ==
or >
), the operation is applied to the lists member-wise: each element in the first list operand is compared to the element at the same index in the second list operand. If the comparison is True
for each pair of elements, then the expression is True
. In practice, this means that (a) you can use ==
to compare the contents of lists, and (b) a list is “smaller” than another if it’s first item is smaller than the other’s.
But be careful: just because two lists have the same contents (are ==
) does not mean that they are the same list! In particular, two lists can be different objects (values) but still have the same contents. In Python, you can test whether two values are actually the same value (as opposed to having the same content) using the is
operator.
# With strings, literals are shared (because they cannot be mutated)
str_a = "banana" # `a` labels string literal "banana"
str_b = "banana" # `b` labels string literal "banana"
# Both variables label the same (literal) value
str_a is str_b # True
# With lists, each list created is a different object!
list_a = [1,2,3] # `a` labels a new list [1,2,3]
list_b = [1,2,3] # `b` labels a new list [1,2,3]
a == b # True, have same values as contents
a is b # False, are two different objects
list_c = list_a # `c` labels the value that `a` labels
a is c # True, both are the same object
# Modify the list!
list_a[0] = 10
print(list_b[0]) # 1 (a different list)
print(list_c[0]) # 10 (the same list)
Keeping track of whether a new list has been created is particularly important when using lists as arguments to functions. Function arguments are local variables that are assigned the passed value—if this value is a list, then the assigned variable will refer to the same list, and any modifications to the argument will affect the value outside of the function:
# A version of a function that modifies the list
def delete_first(a_list):
a_list.pop(0) # modifies the given value
letters = ['a','b','c']
delete_first(letters) # call function
print(letters) # ['b', 'c'], variable is changed
# A version of a function that does not modify the list
def delete_first(a_list):
a_list = a_list[1:] # create new local variable (replacing old local var)
letters = ['a','b','c']
delete_first(letters) # call function
print(letters) #=> ['a', 'b', 'c'], variable is not changed
6.3.1 Lists and Loops
As with other iterable sequences like strings and files, it is possible to iterate through the contents of a list by using a for loop:
numbers = [3.98, 8, 10.8, 3.27, 5.21]
for element in numbers: # `number` is a better local variable name
print(element)
# This will not let you modify the list, since the "number" variable is local
for number in numbers:
number = round(number, 1)
print(numbers) # [3.98, 8, 10.8, 3.27, 5.21], not rounded
In order to modify the list while iterating through it, you need a way to refer to the element you want to change. Since we refer to elements by their index, a better solution is to instead iteate through the range of indices rather than through the elements themselves:
numbers = [3.98, 8, 10.8, 3.27, 5.21]
for i in range(len(numbers)): # `i` for "index"
print(numbers[i]) # refer to elements by index
# Can now modify the list
for i in range(len(numbers)):
numbers[i] = round(numbers[i], 1) # change value at index to rounded version
print(numbers) # [4.0, 8, 10.8, 3.3, 5.2], rounded!
- Note that this process of applying some change to each element in a list is known as a mapping (each value “maps” or goes to some transformed version of itself). We will discuss mapping more in a later module.
6.4 Nested Lists
As noted at the start of the module, lists elements can be of any data type (and any combination of data types)—including other lists! These “lists of lists” are known as nested lists or 2-dimensional lists (or 3d-list for a “list of lists of lists”, etc). Nested lists are most commonly used to represent information such as tables or matrices.
Nested lists work exactly like normal lists; the elements just happen to themselves be indexable (like strings!):
# a list of different dinners available at a fancy party
# this list has 4 elements, each of which is a list of 3 elements
# the indentation is just for human readability
dinner_options = [
["chicken", "mashed potatoes", "mixed veggies"],
["steak", "seasoned potatoes", "asparagus"],
["fish", "seasoned rice", "green beans"],
["portobello steak", "seasoned rice", "green beans"]
]
len(dinner_options) # 4
fish_option = dinner_options[2] # ["fish", "seasoned rice", "green beans"]
# because fish_option is a list, we can reference its elements by index
print(fish_option[0]) # "fish"
In this example fish_option
is a variable that refers to a list, and thus its elements can be accessed by index using bracket notation. But as with any operator or function, it is also possible to use bracket notation on an anonymous value (e.g., a literal value that has not been assigned to a variable). That is, because dinner_options[2]
is a list, we can use bracket notation refer to an element of that list without assigning it to a variable first:
# Access the 2th element's 0th element
dinner_options[2][0] # "fish"
This “pair of brackets” notation allows you to easily access elements within nested lists. This is particularly useful for 2d-lists that represent tables as a list of “rows” (often data records), each of which is a list of “column cells” (often data features):
# a simple table of values
table = [ ['aa','ab','ac','ad'],
['ba','bb','bc','bd'],
['ca','cb','cc','cd'] ]
row = 1 # cells starting with 'b'
col = 3 # cells ending with 'd'
table[row][col] # "bd", the cell at row/col
Note that we often use nested for loops to iterate through a nested list:
for i in range(len(table)): # go through each row (with index)
for j in range(len(table[i])) # go through each col of that row (with index)
print(table[i][j]) # access ith row, jth column
- We use a
j
for the index of the nested loop, because thei
for “index” was already taken!row
andcol
are also excellent local variable names.
6.5 Tuples
While lists are mutable (changeable) sequences of data, tuples represent immutable sequences of data. These are useful if you want to enforce that a data value won’t be changed, such as for a function argument (or a dictionary key; see module 10). Indeed, many built-in Python functions utilize tuples.
Tuples are written as comma-separated sequences as values. They are often placed inside parentheses for clarity (to help indicate the start and end of the tuple values):
letters_tuple = ('a', 'b', 'c')
print(letters_tuple) # ('a', 'b', 'c')
# also a tuple (without parentheses)
numbers_tuple = 1, 2, 3
print(numbers_tuple) # (1, 2, 3)
# A tuple representing a person's name, age, and whether they are hungry
# Tuple values have _implied_ meanings, which should be explained in comments
hungry_person = ('Ada', 28, True)
# In English, tuples may be named based on the number of elements
triple = (1,2,3)
double = (4,5)
single = (6,) # extra comma indicates is a tuple, not just int `6`
empty = () # an empty expression is a tuple!
type(()) # <class 'tuple'> (type of empty expression)
- It’s important to note that while we often write tuples in parentheses (and they are printed in parentheses), it is the commas that makes a sequence of literals into a tuple. The parentheses act just like like they do in mathematical expressions—they are only necessary to clarify ambiguity in the order-of-operations. You will find that some “idiomatic” expressions using tuples forgo the parentheses, making the syntax look more magical than it is!
Elements in tuples can be accessed by index using bracket notation, just like the elements in lists. However, tuples cannot be modified, so you cannot assign a new value to an index in a tuple:
letter_triple = ('a','b','c')
print(letter_triple[0]) # 'a'
print(letter_triple[1:3]) # ('b','c'), a tuple
letter_triple[0] = 'z' # TypeError!
Tuples can be compared using relational operators just like lists, and have the “member-wise” comparison behavior described above. This makes it easy to order the immutable tuples just like you would order numbers or strings.
Finally, tuples provide one additional useful feature. The Python interpreter uses tuples to perform multiple assignments, where you assign multiple values to multiple variables in a single statement. We have already been able to assign multiple, comma-separated values to a single tuple variable (a process called packing). But Python also supports having a single sequential value (e.g., a tuple) be assigned to multiple, comma-separate variables (a process called unpacking)!
triple = 1, 2, 3 # assign multiple values to single variable (packing)
print(triple) # (1, 2, 3)
x, y, z = (1,2,3) # assign single tuple value to multiple variables (unpacking)
print(x) # 1
print(y) # 2
print(z) # 3
# the VALUE in this statement is evaluated as a tuple, and then is assigned to
# multiple variables!
a, b, c = x, y, z # a=x; b=y; c=z
# the same process can be used to swap values!
a, b = b, a
This is mostly a useful shortcut (syntactical sugar), but is also used by some idiomatic Python constructions.

A data structure is:
The definition of a data type is its logical form.
An array could refer to a data type or an implementation. A list describes an implementation of a data type. In either case, it is not a data structure.
An ADT is a model of a type. It does not define how the data type is implemented.
A type is a collection of values and therefore, a subset of an abstract data type, which defines both the type and a set of operations on the type.

I think it is helps to be very specific with what you would like to have answered, yet don't overwhelm the person you ask questions to. One way to avoid overwhelming is by asking followup questions and not pack everything into one question. Additionally, it is often a good idea to try and research the topic yourself first so that you don't bother someone unnecessarily.

Use toggles when users can toggle between two states or options, and the changes take effect immediately.
Don’t use toggles when the options have significant consequences that the users need to confirm before changes take effect. Use a workflow where users must confirm the changes instead.
Don't use toggles when the input is presented in a modal. Use checkboxes instead.
Text labels describe the properties that toggles control, and you can provide labels for both the selected and unselected states. Always include text labels unless other labels clearly indicate the purpose of toggles. For example, when toggles are in grids, you can rely on column headings instead of text labels.
In scenarios where toggles may become disabled, always include labels for both the selected and unselected states to make those states clear to users.

DDB partners with Church
by Joel dela TorreTHE Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and other government agencies agreed with Church officials to forge a stronger partnership and cooperation in addressing the drug problem.
In a meeting with Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, DDB chairman Secretary Catalino Cuy discussed how the problem could be resolved.
Also on hand were DILG Asst.Secretary Ricojudge Janvier Echiverri, Fr. Dan Vicente Cancino Jr., of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and Fr. Roberto dela Cruz of Caritas Manila-Sanlakbay.
The two sides agreed to forge stronger partnerships in the implementation of community-based treatment and rehabilitation programs and in encouraging Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to work with the government in information drives in both rural and urban settings.
A drug summit to be conducted early next year was proposed to train point persons from different dioceses on community-based treatment, rehabilitation and interventions.
As the DDB continues to rally the support and participation of different sectors in the implementation of the Philippine Anti-Illegal Drugs Strategy (PADS), the church is seen as an important ally in institutionalizing systems and programs in the communities.
Cardinal Tagle emphasized that the domestic drug problem is a human concern, and that the partnership should be able to transcend administrations and paradigm shifts.

Just a week after he showed up on Future's single "Last Name," Lil Durk returns with a track of his own. Along with his Only The Family collective, Durkio shared "Blika Blika" early Friday morning. "I just dropped another one for the streets," he wrote on Instagram. "#BLIKABLIKA no auto."
The track was produced by 808 Mafia's DY Krazy and according to the Only The Family Instagram page, it's the lead single from the forthcoming compilation. "First song off the Family Over Everything tape‼" they wrote. "Da Features on this project 🔥🔥." While not many other details were shared about the album, we can only anticipate that Durk and his crew aren't messing around with this one. Check out "Blika Blika" and let us know what you think.

Beauty&Beauty
One-page website for a small beauty salon that offers depilation and endermology. It's mainly directed at women, but anybody can use their services.
See the website here.
Summary
The project was focused around two biggest pain points of the old design: information architecture (IA) and UI design. The IA needed a revamp to reflect that the salon is focused on two procedures. The visual side had to change to give an inviting, refreshing but also elegant impression.
After going through all the information on the previous website I proposed an IA and three different visual concepts – the client chose the one they preferred. I designed the website according to the concept and later wrote the website in vanilla HTML, CSS and JS.
Design problem
The biggest problems for the previous website were clarity, visual integrity and not being mobile-friendly. I would include a picture, but I'm not mean enough.
The layout and information architecture were convoluted with unclear names, duplicated information, seemingly random promotional images and no visual hints towards the service the website is supposed to promote. Moreover, the website did not have a mobile version.
I talked with the client about the problems they saw with their website. The main issue was that the website needed a general update, so I focused heavily on the visual side of the project.
Information architecture
The previous website consisted of:
- landing page with some prices and contact info,
- 'About us' page,
- page on depilation with prices,
- prices page,
- contact info page.
So the pricing table was repeated 3 times in different configurations, one procedure got much more attention than the other and there were three different places for contact info and text about the salon.
I must admit that the one-pager idea came to me immediately and I just stuck with it, but I still believe there wasn't enough important info to merit a subpage. For tables and longer text I went for expandable titles. I did that first because of scrollability and second because I expect some people will want to read the descriptions, the FAQs and precautions, while others will be good with a short sentence on what, when, where and for how much.
When it comes to information itself, I decided to go with a segmented price table for both procedures and then two separate sections with the same stucture:
- quick description,
- icons presenting the time one visit takes, the frequency for the best result,
- FAQ,
- contraindications and precautions,
- more info about the procedure.
Visual concepts
The website needed to give a general impression related to cosmetics and the beauty industry, but this could be taken into different directions. The first one for me was "spa". The website would be relaxing the same way the beauty salon is (anyone who experienced laser depilation will realise why this idea didn't take off). The second idea was heavily influenced by my talks with the client – they showed me other websites they liked, I took elements that could be promising and made something new. The third direction was focused around the effects of the procedures: clean and vivid skin, feeling of freshness and youthfullness. That's why I went with a picture of some perfectly fine legs.
We talked about the designs and chose the third direction, but I still wanted to incorporate the visual elements that the client liked. We also talked about the various menu options – we settled on the third option.
Most important decisions
There were some decisions I should mention here. First is the logo. I decided against doing anything with it. The logo was there and it was already on the sign above the salon's doors and on marketing material. Changing it just to change it or fit the font used on the website would only cause incosistency or (if we were to change all the materials) a huge financial burden.
The second decision was the menu: personally I felt that a side menu fit the style the client showed me, but also gave an opportunity for the logo to be closer to the center of the action (it's a small venue in an increasingly competitive industry, so brand recognition is important). My only regret is not implementing an indicator for the current section. This would increase the feeling of responsiveness, but I did not have the time to learn JS enough.
The third decision was to not include any interactive map on the website. This decision was easy for me, but the opposite's become the standard, so I will explain myself. Firstly, I would not do it well by myself and didn't want to risk it. Secondly, such plugins often break the style of the website. Thirdly, the salon is in a smaller city, so the streets are rather known to people who live there (although I admit some outsider might be left out). The last reason is privacy: the obvious choice would be Google, but those guys aren't really known for respecting data, so I wasn't going to sell the users' data only for the map.
Final design
After the visual concepts and taking some decisions, I designed the rest of the website. I had to edit the picture to give the purple a more mild look, make some icons (and take some from Font Awesome). Later I wrote the HTML and CSS, but stumbled upon a problem with the burger menu for mobile, so I used Javascript. Here are the final results.

Preparation time
less than 30 mins
Cooking time
10 to 30 mins
Serves
Serves 2
These citrussy lamb chops are just the ticket for a hearty weeknight meal - just add new potatoes and steamed greens.
Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds and cook for 3-4 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Transfer the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and crush until fine. Pass the crushed seeds through a sieve to remove any husks, then sprinkle the sieved spices onto a plate.
Press one side of each Barnsley chop into the spice mixture until well coated. Season all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. First fry the fatty edges and skin side of the Barnsley chops until golden-brown, using a pair of tongs to hold the chops in place.
When the fat has melted, pour any excess into a small bowl and set aside. Continue frying the chops, seasoned-side down, for 8-10 minutes, or until well browned.
Turn the chops over and place a knob of butter on top of each. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is medium-rare (or cooked to your liking). Drizzle over the lemon juice and baste the chops in the pan juices.
Serve the Barnsley chops drizzled with the pan juices. Sprinkle over the orange zest.


Robert Pattinson Explains Why He Became The Batman
by Robert WorkmanWarner Bros. made waves earlier this year when it officially cast Twilight’s Robert Pattinson as The Batman. Despite trepidation from some fans, Pattinson is still ready to put everything he has into the role for Matt Reeves’ upcoming film.
Recently, Pattinson appeared on a video interview with actress Jennifer Lopez, as part of Variety’s Variety Studio: Actors on Actors. They discussed a number of topics, and Lopez eventually asked Pattinson why he wanted to portray Batman.
“With Batman, there was something — I was very focused on it. It kept coming back into my head,” explained Pattinson.
Pattinson told Lopez that he didn’t directly seek it out, but he felt the need to win the role.
“I was interested in it,” said Pattinson. “I don’t know what it is, which happened inside of me, but I was like, ‘I kind of want to do it.’ I like doing something which an audience doesn’t know that it wants, and try to get it out of them: ‘Oh, yeah, you want to play Batman.’”

According to Pattinson, he still can’t believe he was cast as the Dark Knight.
“Whenever I see that little action figure, I still haven’t really got my head around it yet,” admitted Pattinson.
The Batman will hit theaters on June 25, 2021.

We approached this challenge in two parts. First, we identified a model for an oral airway to base our prototype. We then created a 3D rendering of the customizable oral airway and designed a user interface that would accept specific measurements to create a customized oral airway. We then fabricated a 3D model of the patient's airway and surrounding structures using Mimics (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). We describe the process of designing and producing anatomic models for medical device prototype design. Lastly, we propose a methodology of evaluating medical device prototypes using anatomically accurate models manufactured with 3D printers. citation: "Jorge A. Gálvez, Allan F.
