The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/ Member: Online Film Critics Society
Starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett. Directed by Anthony Minghella. Rated R.
He's a talented one himself, this Anthony Minghella. Three years ago, he scored big-time with his WWII weepie The English Patient. The film all but swept the Oscars and was a resounding critical and box-office success. Now Minghella comes out with another Oscar shoo-in that also happens to be one of the year's best films. The Talented Mr. Ripley is Minghella's proof that The English Patient was no accident.
 When he arrives, he finds himself falling in love with Dickie's lifestyle. Instead of actively pestering him to go home, Tom lives it up in Italy and Dickie's father pays for it. Before long Tom falls in love with Dickie himself.
Halfway through the movie there is a confrontation wherein Tom murders Dickie and takes on his identity. From there, he plays an elaborate game of cat and mouse with the police and with Dickie's girlfriend Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow), trying to make the police think that he is Dickey and make Marge think that Dickie's dumped her. The twist is that Tom is not some great conspirator; rather he is a modern reincarnation of Machiavelli, a man who thinks on his feet and kills when he must kill to achieve his goal. He is a great improviser.
You may have heard about the enigmatic Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett having a role in this movie. Her part is small, but it's there. She plays an American whom Tom tries to carry on an affair with while juggling his many other problems. Her character serves to demonstrate Tom's ability to inadvertently get way in over his head and then get himself out of trouble with his quick thinking ability.
The Talented Mr. Ripley runs almost two and a half hours and yet the pace and tone of the movie is pitch-perfect. By making the villain the focus of the film, Minghella (or perhaps novelist Patricia Highsmith, whose work this movie is based on) builds suspense quietly but undeniably. It's far from being a traditional thriller: the director doesn't use the soundtrack as an easy way out. The suspenseful scenes are mostly dialogue based, with only a few incidents of real violence but the result is as tense as anything.
Matt Damon gives what is surely his best performance to date as the title character.  At first he kills in his own best interest; by the end of the movie he kills because he has become addicted to lies, but he never seems to recognize that what he is doing is wrong. He sees that police are chasing after him but he never feels any guilt or remorse for his actions nor does he see any reason why he should.
I've liked Jude Law since I first saw him in the intelligent sci-fi thriller Gattaca and now, after a major role in eXistenZ, he one-ups himself. His Dickie is one of the films biggest joys (please, no pun intended) -- a spoiled brat who is also a decent guy and a compelling character. I liked Gwyneth Paltrow almost as much: she is one of the hardest-working actresses in show business and it always amazes me how she can turn in such deeply felt performances in movie after movie after movie.
One doesn't realize it at first, but The Talented Mr. Ripley is an extremely bold endeavor: a supposedly mainstream thriller that deals with concepts like homosexuality, betrayal and pathological lying in a deliberately paced, long production. I felt grateful that this movie was made. I didn't want it to end.

jQuery Mobile is designed to work with simple page linking conventions. Essentially, you can link pages and assets as you normally would, and jQuery Mobile will automatically handle page requests in a single-page model, using Ajax when possible. When Ajax isn't possible (such as a non-same-domain url, or if specified using certain attributes on the link), a normal http request is used instead.
The goal of this model is to allow developers to create websites using best practices — where ordinary links will "just work" without any special configuration — while creating a rich, native-like experience that can't be achieved with standard HTTP requests.
To enable animated page transitions, all links that point to an external page (ex. products.html) will be loaded via Ajax. To do this unobtrusively, the framework parses the link's href
to formulate an Ajax request (Hijax) and displays the loading spinner. All this happens automatically by jQuery Mobile.
If the Ajax request is successful, the new page content is added to the DOM, all mobile widgets are auto-initialized, then the new page is animated into view with a page transition.
If the Ajax request fails, the framework will display a small error message overlay (styled in the "e" swatch) that disappears after a brief time so this doesn't break the navigation flow. View an example of the error message.
Note: You cannot link to a multipage document with Ajax navigation active because the framework will only load the first page it finds, not the full set of internal pages. In these cases, you must link without Ajax (see next section) for a full page refresh to prevent potential hash collisions. There is currently a subpage plugin that makes it possible to load in multi-page documents.
Links that point to other domains or that have rel="external"
, data-ajax="false"
or target
attributes will not be loaded with Ajax. Instead, these links will cause a full page refresh with no animated transition. Both attributes (rel="external"
and data-ajax="false"
) have the same effect, but a different semantic meaning: rel="external"
should be used when linking to another site or domain, while data-ajax="false"
is useful for simply opting a page within your domain from being loaded via Ajax. Because of security restrictions, the framework always opts links to external domains out of the Ajax behavior.
In version 1.1, we've added support for using data-ajax="false"
on a parent container which allows you to excluded a large number of links from the Ajax navigation system. This avoids the need to add this attribute to every link in a container.
Note: When building a jQuery Mobile application where the Ajax navigation system is disabled globally or frequently disabled on individual links, we recommend disabling the $.mobile.pushStateEnabled
global configuration option to avoid inconsistent navigation behavior in some browsers.
A single HTML document can contain one or many 'page' containers simply by stacking multiple divs with a data-role
of "page"
. This allows you to build a small site or application within a single HTML document; jQuery Mobile will simply display the first 'page' it finds in the source order when the page loads.
If a link in a multi-page document points to an anchor (#foo
), the framework will look for a page wrapper with that ID (id="foo"
). If it finds a page in the HTML document, it will transition the new page into view. You can seamlessly navigate between local, internal "pages" and external pages in jQuery Mobile. Both will look the same to the end user except that external pages will display the Ajax spinner while loading. In either situation, jQuery Mobile updates the page's URL hash to enable Back button support, deep-linking and bookmarking.
It's important to note that if you are linking from a mobile page that was loaded via Ajax to a page that contains multiple internal pages, you need to add a rel="external"
or data-ajax="false"
to the link. This tells the framework to do a full page reload to clear out the Ajax hash in the URL. This is critical because Ajax pages use the hash (#
) to track the Ajax history, while multiple internal pages use the hash to indicate internal pages so there will be conflicts in the hash between these two modes.
For example, a link to a page containing multiple internal pages would look like this:
Multi-page link
If you use the attribute data-rel="back"
on an anchor, any clicks on that anchor will mimic the back button, going back one history entry and ignoring the anchor's default href
. This is particularly useful when generating "back" buttons with JavaScript, such as a button to close a dialog.
When using this feature in your source markup, although browsers that support this feature will not use the specified href
attribute, be sure to still provide a meaningful value that actually points to the URL of the referring page to allow the feature to work for users in C-Grade browsers. If users can reach this page from more than one referring pages, specify a sensible href
so that the navigation remains logical for all users.
Also, please keep in mind that if you just want a reverse transition without actually going back in history, you should use the data-direction="reverse"
attribute instead.
Note: data-direction="reverse"
is meant to simply run the backwards version of the transition that will run on that page change, while data-rel="back"
makes the link functionally equivalent to the browser's back button and all the standard back button logic applies. Adding data-direction="reverse"
to a link with data-rel="back"
will not reverse the reversed page transition and produce the "normal" version of the transition.
When linking to directory indexes (such as href="typesofcats/" instead of href="typesofcats/index.html"), you must provide a trailing slash. This is because jQuery Mobile assumes the section after the last "/" character in a url is a filename, and it will remove that section when creating base urls from which future pages will be referenced.
However, you can work around this issue by returning your page div with a data-url
attribute already specified. When you do this, jQuery Mobile will use that attribute's value for updating the URL, instead of the url used to request that page. This also allows you to return urls that change as the result of a redirect, for example, you might post a form to "/login.html" but return a page from the url "/account" after a successful submission. This tool allows you to take control of the jQuery Mobile history stack in these situations. Here's an example:
The following link points to "docs-links-urltest/index.html": Test Link which is a directory with an index page. The return page will update the hash as "/docs/pages/docs-links-urltest/" with a trailing slash. This is done via the data-url attribute in that page's source. Keep in mind that the value will replace the entire hash, and it is up to you to replace it with a URL that actually resolves to the correct page when requested via refresh or deep link.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain remains “seriously concerned” by escalating violence in Hong Kong and urges the authorities to agree “to a path to resolve the situation”, a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.
“We remain seriously concerned by the situation in Hong Kong and the escalation of violence between protesters and police. We continue to urge for calm and restraint on all sides and support the right to peaceful protest,” the spokesman said.
“We believe political dialogue is the only way forward and we want to see the Hong Kong authorities agree to a path to resolve the situation,” he said, adding Johnson had no plans as yet to make calls to the authorities.

The key to accessing the alternate search syntax is to add &syntax=cloudsearch to the end of your search URL. You will need to modify the search query in the URL bar only, because searching from within the webpage will end up removing the &syntax=cloudsearch parameter.
It's more convenient to use this page to enter your query.
| word prefix | 'jailb*' |
| phrase | '"why you no"' |
| number range | 1000..2000 |
| open-ended number range | 40000.. |
| boolean operators | (and 'jailb*' (not 'jailbait')) |
If you get the error
that means there's a syntax error in your query. Although it still displays search results, it has dropped back to the Lucene search syntax, and really isn't doing what you want.

The public-facing syntax currently in use is actually parsed by the Whoosh library (which uses a search syntax that's "very similar to Lucene"), and then the L2CS library takes the output from the Whoosh parser and builds a CloudSearch query.
Note that there's a serious bug in the syntax-converter library.
One benefit is that it allows you to search comments.


Corporate Governance
Shareholders
The board and senior management of Tencent recognize their responsibility to represent the interests of the shareholders and to enhance shareholder value. Tencent uses a number of formal channels to account to shareholders for the performance and operation of the Group and reports to shareholders on a quarterly basis. The Board of Directors’ Office/Investor Relations Department respond to letters, e-mails and telephone enquiries from shareholders/investors on various issues throughout the year.
The directors of Tencent have adopted the Shareholders Communication Policy in March 2012 which aims to ensure that the shareholders of the Company and other stakeholders at large are provided with ready, equal, regular and timely access to material information about Tencent, in order to maintain an on-going dialogue with the shareholders of the Company and to enable them to exercise their rights in an informed manner, and to allow the shareholders of the Company and other stakeholders to engage actively with Tencent through general meetings or other proper means.
The board
Tencent has a unitary board. Independent non-executive directors of the Company represent more than one-third of the board of the Company. The non-executive members of the board bring a wide range of business and financial experience to the board.
The board:
- ·determines the Group's mission, provides strategic direction to the Group and is responsible for the approval of strategic plans;
- ·approves the annual business plan and budget proposed by management;
- ·retains full and effective control over the Group and monitors management with regard to the implementation of the approved annual budget and business plan;
- ·appoints the Chief Executive Officer, who reports to the board and ensures that succession is planned;
- ·approves the Company's financial statements, quarterly, interim and annual reports;
- ·determines the Group's communication policy;
- ·determines director selection, orientation and evaluation;
- ·ensures that the Group has appropriate risk management, internal control and regulatory compliance procedures in place and that it communicates adequately with shareholders and stakeholders;
- ·establishes board sub-committees with clear terms of reference and responsibilities as appropriate;
- ·defines levels of delegation in respect of specific matters, with required authority to board sub-committees and management;
- ·monitors non-financial aspects pertaining to the business of the Group;
- ·considers and, if appropriate, declares the payment of dividends to shareholders; and
- ·regularly evaluates its own performance and effectiveness.
The board and its committees are supplied with full and timely information, which enables them to discharge their responsibilities. All directors have access to the company secretary and to independent professional advice and if appropriate, this will be at the Company's expense. Directors' interests in other boards and contracts are regularly declared and recorded.
The Nomination Committee of the Company which has been established in March 2012 identifies candidates suitably qualified to become board members and make recommendations to the board on the selection of candidates nominated as directors, in accordance with its Terms of Reference. Following the appointment of new directors to the board, an orientation programme is arranged to facilitate their understanding of the Group. The list of directors identifying their role and function shall be updated from time to time and made available on the HKExnews’ website and the Company’s website.
Board committees
While retaining overall accountability, and excluding those matters reserved for the board itself, the board has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to run the day-to-day business of the Group. The board has also established the following sub-committees:
- ·audit committee
- ·corporate governance committee
- ·investment committee
- ·nomination committee
- ·remuneration committee
Internal controls
Internal control systems were introduced to provide management and the board with comfort regarding the financial position of the Group, safeguarding of assets (including information) and compliance with regulatory requirements. The internal and external auditors monitor the functioning of the internal control systems and make recommendations to management and the audit committee.
All internal control systems do, however, have inherent shortcomings, including the possibility of human error and the evasion or flouting of control measures. Even the best internal control system may provide only partial assurance.
External auditors
In order to maintain the independence of the Group’s external auditors, the external auditors will not be engaged for non-audit work unless this constitutes non-audit work pre-approved by the audit committee. There must be clear efficiencies and value-added benefits to the Company from that work being undertaken by the external auditors, with no adverse effect on the independence of their audit work or the perception of such independence.
Code of conduct
Tencent is committed to maintaining its integrity in dealings with all. The Company's code of conduct emphasises honesty and respect. The code of conduct applies to all employees and forms part of their service contracts.
Staff development takes place through formal training and offering employees opportunities in the workplace.

As appointed elders and Christian overseers, you have been given the responsi-
bility to ensure that the flock is well fed. (Compare John 21:15-17.) Among other
things, this calls for teaching the congregation as a whole through instructive
meetings. It also involves appropriate teaching on a personal basis to enlighten, give
counsel, exhort, and reprove. Improving your ability as teachers is given special
consideration in this publication.
Another important part of an overseer's work involves taking the lead in field
service. Therefore, emphasis is placed on your regular participation in the public
ministry and on how you can help others to have a meaningful share.
With so many outside pressures bearing on the brothers, you are often faced
with matters involving counsel and judgment. How can you be sure that you are
viewing matters from Jehovah's standpoint? When judging cases that come to your
attention, how can you be balanced in showing loving concern for the brothers
involved while making sure that Jehovah's righteousness is upheld? This publication
gives these matters careful consideration.
Material from the three original segments of "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to
All the Flock, " published in 1977, 1979, and 1981, has been combined and updated.
The outline presentation of the information has been retained. This facilitates
locating particular points that you may need to find quickly. Thus the book will
continue to serve as a handbook to be used in connection with elders' meetings,
judicial matters, and the periodically conducted Kingdom Ministry School.
The wide margins and other blank spaces and pages have been provided so that
you can make appropriate notes for your personal use and can add references as
related information is published or otherwise brought to your attention. If it should
become necessary to make substantial revisions at a future dale, the Society will
issue revised information on individual pages that can be conveniently inserted,
thus keeping the information in the book up-to-date.
We are confident that you greatly appreciate your privilege of serving Jehovah's
people as undershepherds of God's flock.  On the other hand, you receive many
blessings and much joy. May you find the information in this handbook to be
helpful in caring for your assigned duties. And may your faithful service continue
to bring refreshment and strength to the flock of God, your brothers.Isa. 32:2.


Big change in number of children arrested in Lancashire
by Mike HillArrests of children in Lancashire have been reduced by 81 per cent in eight years.
Lancashire Police made 1,826 arrests of boys and girls aged 17 and under in 2018, this compares to 1,893 in the previous year and 9,779 back in 2010.
The figures for Lancashire are in line with the national trend. Data from more than 40 police forces show that they made 70,078 arrests of children in 2018 – a reduction of more than 70 per cent from almost 250,000 in 2010.
Across England and Wales, the total number of child arrests has been reduced every year since the campaign began. Over the same period, the number of children in prison has been reduced by 63 per cent.
Arrests of primary school-age children have been reduced significantly. There were 383 arrests of 10 and 11-year-olds in 2018, a reduction of 38 per cent from the previous year.
Howard League for Penal Reform has been working with police forces across England and Wales to keep as many children as possible out of the system
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: “Tens of thousands of children can look forward to a brighter future without their lives being blighted by police contact and a criminal record.
“Lancashire Police and other forces up and down the country have diverted resources to tackling serious crime instead of arresting naughty children. This will make communities safer, and the Howard League is proud to have played its part.
“Building on this success and reducing the number of arrests still further would allow even more children to thrive.”
The largest police force in the country, the Metropolitan Police, made 13,791 arrests of children in 2018. This was a 22 per cent reduction on the previous year, when 17,672 arrests were made, and a 70 per cent reduction on 2010, when there were 46,079.


--- layout: post title: intentional programming date: 2014-07-12 13:21 UTC redirect_from: - blog/2014/07/intentional-programming.html ---
I have a confession to make. I never typed “rails g scaffold” until I taught a RubyOnRails course.1 I knew what scaffolding was, of course, but it had never occurred to me to use it. I didn’t generate models or controllers either. This probably has a lot to do with the project I really learned Rails from — a large, already existing app that had no place for generating full scaffolds for any resource.
After I introduced Rails into the classroom, I noticed code in my students’ projects that I hadn’t taught them yet:
# PATCH/PUT /incidents/1 # PATCH/PUT /incidents/1.json def update respond_to do |format| if @object.update(object_params) format.html { redirect_to @object, notice: ‘Object was successfully updated.' } format.json { render :show, status: :ok, location: @object } else format.html { render :edit } format.json { render json: @object.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity } end end end
Obviously, there are a few things here that would make an RoR instructor happy to see: identifying the RESTful request and route, responding with multiple formats and including a status with the json response, yielding a flash notice on successful update, etc. But when I asked my students why they wrote this code, what their thought process behind it was, the answer was:
“Oh, it was just the Rails scaffold.”
When I saw actions defined in the controller that were never actually used in the app (like edit or destroy), and I asked the same question — “Why did you write this code (especially if you never intended to use it)?” — I got the same answer.
After that, I talked with the class and encouraged them to put down the scaffold and write these files from scratch — it would help them understand what they were doing, and aid their memory. Scaffolding is essentially copying and pasting, and that doesn’t build understanding, and it’s much easier to remember things you fundamentally understand and have typed out yourself.2
We also got onto the topic of intentional programming, which goes along with ideas behind BDD. When you generate a scaffold, you’re creating a whole package of code, functionality, and tests that is now your responsibility, whether you really want it all or not. A scaffold only seems to be a good fit if you know you’re going to want full standard CRUD functionality from your controller for that resource, along with HTML views, but even then, I hesitate. For a classroom management app, for example, you may know that you’ll want full CRUD for students, but when you actually get into it, you might find that you only want to add, update, or destroy students in place on the classroom’s show page, or maybe even that you don’t want to destroy students at all but only change their state. To then achieve the functionality you want, you’re going to have to do a lot of clean up to the scaffold you created — changing routes, flash notices, deleting views, changing tests, etc.
A lot of this just has to do with good planning (fleshing out your user stories beforehand) and coding to meet the specifications of those user stories (BDD).3 But I think there’s a lot to be said for intentionality beyond just following good BDD or TDD practices. When you can account for every line of your program as code that you understand and put there for a reason, you a) cut back on fluff and spaghetti code that clutters your app, and b) have complete control of your application. If something goes wrong, you know why, or can at least easily find out why. If you need to change something, you don’t have to dig through a bunch of code that you don’t understand, and/or don’t need, and/or never needed to begin with.
To some people, this may sound like a lot of obvious observations, but it's hard to keep in mind good coding practices when you're on a deadline or just plain tired. It takes discipline. Something I’ve caught myself doing is thinking about what methods I would need in a class, going ahead and writing the method, and then when I wrote the tests and made them pass, I saw that I never actually needed that method that had occurred to me earlier. Then I’d have an extra method lying around that if I didn’t clean out then, then I’d forget what it was for and if anything was using it, making it all the harder to clean out later. That sucks, and is a waste of my time at the time of writing, as well as three months down the road during refactoring. The more I think about what I'm doing, retrospectively and in the moment, the more aware I can hopefully become and the more intentional about the code I write.


public class HallModel
extends java.lang.Object
This class is the model in the MVC design pattern, the hall model. It takes charge of all communication with hall server, upholding the hall information, which include the room information, users information and so on, and giving all information when necessary.
Our basic assumption is that once the data has been sent to here, it must be json format. Because the TCP has error check mechanism. The user self is also a common user, so I won't treat him specially.

In Saudi Arabia, women are not allowed to drive. Instead they rely on personal drivers and taxis to get around the city. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital city, is currently building a metro system, scheduled for completion in 2018.
How well does Riyadh's new metro system serve the needs of female travelers?
The analysis uses a sample population of commuters to/from the all-women Princess Noura University. Utilizing anonymized cellphone call detail records, this analysis identifies hotspots – the places women frequent before or after going to the Princess Noura campus, as well as potential paths through the city. Finally, Women on the Move identifies the hotspots in Riyadh that are not served by the proposed rail system.

Evanston, Illinois
Evanston Garage Door Gallery
The murals have transformed a residential alley into a vibrant drive-through gallery.
Original murals by artist Teresa Parod have transformed a residential alley in Evanston, Illinois into a vibrant drive-through gallery. The artist and educator has traveled widely and reimagines elements from a range of traditions in her paintings, collages, and textiles.
Parod uses garage doors as large-scale canvases, taking advantage of both the corrugated and flat textures. Her projects began after she painted a mural on her own garage door, and neighbors then asked her to paint their doors, too.
Parod has exhibited throughout the United States and created public art including the Mardi Gras Bead Mosaic in New Orleans; the Wesley Kramer Memorial Mural in Evanston, Illinois, and an outdoor mosaic in Fusterlandia, a village near Havana, Cuba, where she will return in March 2020.
Entire communities have assisted in these works, which Parod often makes at her own expense and with donated materials. The projects transform neighborhoods with light, color, and creative energy.
Know Before You Go
The Evanston garage-door murals by Teresa Parod are located in the 2300 alleys between Thayer/Isabella and Thayer/Park. Visitors can drive through and are welcome to take photos and post with the hashtag #TeresaParodPublicArt.

Welcome to the 403rd episode of the Ivy Envy Podcast. On this episode, we look back on how the Cubs performed (as a team and individuals) in the month of May. While it seemed like the team was spinning it's wheels at times, they ended the season 18-10.
We get a little more specific and talk about the Cubs sweep over the Phillies over the weekend and the first few games of the series against the Dodgers at Wrigley. The first two games of the Dodgers series provided us with an incredibly good and an incredibly bad performance by the Cubs bullpen. We look into that a bit.

For the fig-swirl: Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan.Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve.Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice.Cook over meduim heat,stirring frequently,until you have a chunky-jammy mixture.Add salt with one or two stirs,set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream:In a small pot over meduim heat, combine milk, and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and the milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in the fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream machine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions,i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding mascarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/-10 minutes.Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.

The raster source provides the ability to supply arbitrary pixel data whilst rendering. The pixels are queried at the time of rasterisation by means of user callback functions, allowing for the ultimate flexibility. For example, in handling compressed image sources, you may keep a MRU cache of decompressed images and decompress sources on the fly and discard old ones to conserve memory.
For the raster source to be effective, you must at least specify the acquire and release callbacks which are used to retrieve the pixel data for the region of interest and demark when it can be freed afterwards. Other callbacks are provided for when the pattern is copied temporarily during rasterisation, or more permanently as a snapshot in order to keep the pixel data available for printing.

cairo_surface_create_similar_image()
) that defines at least the region
of interest specified by extents. The surface is allowed to be the entire
sample area, but if it does contain a subsection of the sample area,
the surface extents should be provided by setting the device offset (along

cairo_raster_source_acquire_func_t is the type of function which is
called when a pattern is being rendered from. It should create a surface
that provides the pixel data for the region of interest as defined by
extents, though the surface itself does not have to be limited to that
area. For convenience the surface should probably be of image type,
created with cairo_surface_create_similar_image()
for the target (which
enables the number of copies to be reduced during transfer to the
device). Another option, might be to return a similar surface to the
target for explicit handling by the application of a set of cached sources
on the device. The region of sample data provided should be defined using
cairo_surface_set_device_offset()
to specify the top-left corner of the
sample data (along with width and height of the surface).

Notes on development¶
Sentences, words, and syllables¶
I looked for some time for Python code to compute common readability measures, and was not satisfied with what little I found, so I wrote this module.
Readability measures are language specific, and I am primarily interested in scoring English and Spanish text, so these remarks address those languages.
Most readability scores are based on sentence length and word complexity, usually based on syllables per word, so we need to break text into words and sentences and count the syllables in each word.
Word and sentence detection¶
Computational linguists have done some work on word and sentence breaking (or more formally, sentence boundary detection). See e.g.
For my application, I’ve found that regular expressions are satisfactory for tokenizing text into words. Finding suitable expressions was at least partly a matter of trial and error.
The main difficulty in sentence breaking is the ambiguity of the period (dot) character. It usually indicates the end of a sentence, at least when it follows a non-space and is followed by a space, especially when the next non-space is uppercase. If the next non-space is lowercase, the period usually has followed an abbreviation. If the next non-space is uppercase, the period may also have come after a form of address such as Mr., Mrs., or Dr.
The Python Natural Language Toolkit includes a sentence breaker called Punkt, which was the product of the research reported in the Kiss & Strunk paper cited above. Punkt is considered a fairly good sentence breaker, and the NLTK is wonderful, but I wanted something lightweight that would not require using the NLTK. I used Punkt as a standard of comparison as I developed my own sentence breaker, and I think my simple approach stands up pretty well against Punkt.
Developing an English syllable counter¶
Counting syllables in English words by means of an algorithm is difficult. Looking around the Web, you’ll find that most of the available code is based on a Perl module Syllable.pm by Greg Fast, last updated in 1998. I started to write a Python adaptation of Syllable.pm, but wanted to use a different license. I managed to contact Greg Fast and have his permission to release my Python code, modelled on his Perl code, with an MIT license.
The approach I’ve taken is similar to Greg’s. Note that most final “e”s don’t contribute to a syllable count, so remove them before going farther. Each syllable generally contains one or more vowels, so start by counting runs of vowels in the word.
The next step is to see what’s wrong with the counts, and find ways to adjust them. Nearly all the incorrect counts are off by one syllable. Look for patterns prevalent in the incorrectly counted words and find regular expressions to indicate when a count should be incremented or decremented.
It’s very useful to have a set of words with known correct syllable counts to use as a basis for development.
In September 2009, Jordan Boyd-Graber posted some code on the nltk-users Google group. He observed that the The Carnegie Mellon Pronouncing Dictionary (cmudict) contains the information needed to count the syllables in its words. Each vowel phoneme ends with a digit that indicates the stress, and counting the letter groups that end with digits gives an accurate count of the syllables. His code is:
import curses
from curses.ascii import isdigit
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import cmudict
d = cmudict.dict()
def nsyl(word):
return [len(list(y for y in x if isdigit(y[-1]))) for x in d[word.lower()]]
Instead of nltk, I used the most recent cmudict.dict from https://github.com/cmusphinx/cmudict (dated 2018-01-29 at this writing) and used num_syllables = len(re.sub(r'[^0-9]', '', pronunciation))
after separating the word and its pronunciation in the dictionary entry.
I used this to create a Python dict of words and syllable counts. Then, running those words through the syllable counter, I wrote out lists of words that were counted correctly, over by 1 syllable, under by 1 syllable, over by 2 syllables, etc. I examined the words in the error lists. I first noticed that many of the overcounts were words ending in “ed” where the “ed” did not contribute to the count. This was usually when the “ed” was preceded by certain letters and not others, such as the “ned” ending in “banned” or “frowned”. After decrementing the counts for words matching “[cfhklmnprsvwxz]ed$”, I reduced the error counts significantly.
I found so few words off by more than one that I did not address those at all.
I continued to examine the lists of overcounts and undercounts, looking for patterns (usually vowel sequences) that occurred frequently, and comparing their contexts in the over/undercount lists with the contexts of the same patterns in the correctly-counted list. By carefully adding patterns to the increment-pattern and decrement-pattern lists, I was able to reduce the errors on the CMU word list until it was under 10%.
I also made a list of words from the Brown corpus, sorted by frequency, and observed the error counts for those words that were also in the CMU dictionary. I considered it more important to reduce the errors for these more common words, especially the top 10,000 or so, than for the CMU dictionary as a whole. My syllable counter does quite a bit better on those than on the entire dictionary.
I also considered it useful to try to keep the overcounts and undercounts as balanced as I reasonably could. The idea is that for words that are not in my test set, I want to get the overcounts and undercounts to even out.
Finally, I used Raymond Hettinger’s Bloom filter recipe to make Bloom filters for the words in the CMU dictionary that were still overcounted or undercounted by one. After setting up the Bloom filters, all those words are now counted correctly. Since the Bloom filters have a predictable percentage of false positives, I am also now incorrectly correcting a tiny percentage (less than 0.1%) of words that come into the syllable counter.
The Bloom filters add about 27 kb space overhead for the data and a bit for the code as well. They also add a bit of processing time for each word, but I think the performance hit is worthwhile. In any case, I have included versions of the syllable counter both with and without the Bloom filters.
Bloom filters¶
A Bloom filter is a data structure and algorithm that supports a probabilistic test for set membership. Keys are hashed into a bit table using several hash functions. The table is initially empty (all bits 0). For each key entered into the table, each bit it hashes to with each of the hash functions is set to 1. To see if a key is in the set, hash the key with each hash function and see if all the corresponding bits are 1. If not, the key is definitely not in the set; there can be no false negatives. If they are all 1, then the key may be in the set. If the key is in the set, this is a true positive, otherwise it’s a false positive.
The probability of a false positive can be made arbitrarily small by choosing the table size and number of hash functions properly. The hash functions must also be independent of one another and of high quality (uniform “random” distribution over the bit table) to achieve the best performance.
The table size can be relatively small compared with the number of keys in the set to be queried, because the keys are not stored. Only a few bits per key need to be set in the table to achieve good performance, and the table size in bits needs to be only a small multiple of the number of keys to get a reasonably low probability of false positives.
A typical application is one where you may want to see if a key is probably in a set before doing a more expensive lookup, such as a disk read or a query over a network. In the present application, we are looking to see if a word should have its syllable count adjusted up or down. A few errors are acceptable here.
Raymond Hettinger posted a very compact Bloom filter implementation in pure Python to the ActiveState Python Cookbook (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577684-bloom-filter/).
Rather than using several separate hash functions, Hettinger’s code uses the Python library pseudorandom number generator to create several probes from a single initial hash. The Python library uses the Mersenne Twister PRNG and so gets excellent independence of the probes for each key. Hettinger achieves results about as good as one can expect theoretically.
I wanted to adapt this to the (English) syllable counter, but also wanted to be able to distribute the code and the tables pre-built in a way that would work across Python implementations.
Hettinger uses the poorly documented random.Random()
class to seed the PRNG, which has a different implementation between Python 2.7.14 and Python 3.6.4, and I am not sure it will not change again with later versions or different implementations.
I’m also not clear on whether the Mersenne Twister implementation (generating floating point values in [0.0, 1.0)) will generate the same sequence from a seed in all implementations.
So I needed to find a way to use the filter with some hashes that would be consistent across implementations. According to a paper by Kirsh and Mitzenmacher, a Bloom filter should work well with only two hash functions g() and h(), making the probes at g(k)+i*h(k) mod m for i in [0, k-1], m bits in the table.
I needed two fast hash functions, and I wanted something that was available in the Python standard library.
Though the Python documentation says its crc32() and adler32() “is not suitable for use as a general hash algorithm”, I found they gives acceptable results for this application.
If you want something better at the cost of filter table portability, you could use Hettinger’s original get_probes()
, or use some other hash functions in the Python Package Index and elsewhere.
Note that we need to mask the crc32() and adler32() values with 0xffffffff to guarantee the same results across implementations. I multiplied the results of each hash by a couple of primes that resulted in fewer false positives on words from the CMU dictionary. These primes were determined by trial and error and are probably not optimal.
I also experimented with an approach using only crc32(), making the table size m be the larger of twin primes.
The initial probe is made at crc32(key) mod m, and subsequent probes are made at intervals of (crc32(key) mod (m-2) + 1) away from the initial probe.
This also seems to give acceptable results in this application, but I have not retained this implementation.
But I did keep the twin prime calculation in the Bloom_filter_config.py
program, though it is not necessary to use twin primes in the current implementation.
These approaches may not be good enough for general use however. I did some further experiments with these probe protocols and a number of other similar versions. Though the two methods above usually performed pretty well, the Mersenne Twister based method performed very well in nearly all cases, and almost always better than the two-hash and one-hash-twinprime approaches. And the latter two approaches performed quite a bit worse than the Mersenne Twister method with a small number of keys in an optimally loaded (50%) table.

Astronomers have discovered a cashew-shaped object in the outer regions of a young solar system that could act as a “dust trap,” allowing minute dust particles to cling together and eventually coalesce into a planet-sized body. If the observations hold up to further scrutiny, the find could solve a long-standing mystery of planet formation.
Astronomers have long puzzled over the question of planet formation. Computer models of various accretion scenarios always showed that friction between gas and dust particles, thought to be the seeds for early planet formation, inevitably led to larger grains of a certain size moving inward and falling back onto their parent star, leaving no chance for larger objects to form. To explain how planets form if dust particles self-destruct once they reach a particular size, astronomers theorized that vortexes in the disk could act as dust traps, allowing particles to coalesce and eventually grow into larger and larger objects. However, there was no observational proof that such stellar dust collectors actually existed.
Now, an international team of scientists, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, have created ground-breaking images of the outer regions of a young solar system, called Oph IRS 48, located in the constellation Ophiuchus some 390 light-years from Earth. The images reveal what may be the up-to-now hypothetical dust trap in a crescent-shaped object made up of a concentration of millimeter-scale dust. This concentration is in sharp contrast to the gas and micron-sized grains of dust distributed evenly throughout the disk, according to researchers.
“At first the shape of the dust in the image came as a complete surprise to us,” said lead author Nenke Van der Marel, Ph.D. student at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands, in a statement released June 6 by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). “Instead of the ring we had expected to see, we found a very clear cashew-nut shape! We had to convince ourselves that this feature was real, but the strong signal and sharpness of the ALMA observations left no doubt about the structure.”
Although the ALMA observations only showed the outer structure of the disk, which is more than 50 times distant from its star than the Earth is to the Sun, researchers say the principle would apply at a closer distance to the star where rocky planets form. According to co-author Til Birnstiel, a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass, the structure observed with ALMA could be scaled down to represent what may be occurring in the inner region of the solar system. In case of the ALMA observations, he said that astronomers may be seeing something analogous to the formation of the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud, the area of our solar system where comets are believed to form.
The ALMA telescope observations were achieved with less than its full array of 66 antennas, which will be functioning later this year. When fully operational, ALMA will have one of the sharpest visions of any astronomical observatory and will be an important tool in understanding the entire planet formation process, according to the NRAO, a facility of the National Science Foundation.
The team’s findings will be published Friday (June 7) in the journal Science.


Court rejects Zardari's application for treatment in Karachi
by https://www.facebook.com/dunyanewsISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – An accountability court in Islamabad on Tuesday rejected former president Asif Ali Zardari’s application seeking his transfer to Karachi for medical treatment.
Earlier today, the court extended Zardari and his sibling Faryal Talpur’s judicial remand till November 26 in the money laundering through fake bank accounts case.
Reportedly, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor presented his arguments in the courtroom as the court resumed hearing.
“Zardari was shifted to the hospital upon recommendation of a medical board formed by the government […] filing an application with the government is not begging,” the prosecutor stated.
The prosecutor further asked whether the former president was transferred to the hospital due to begging.
“The situation is not like this […] now seeking recommendation of the same medical board and the government is being interpreted as begging,” he argued.
Meanwhile, the court extended judicial remand of both PPP leaders till Nov. 26 and asked the accountability watchdog to produce them again in the court upon expiry of the remand.

Use a print statement
Overview
Learning to use the print function in Python is the perfect way to start writing Python code. When learning to write in any new programming language, one of the first things you want to do is get some output from your program. The print function is how you output the value of an object to the screen. You will learn how to use the print function in Python.
Using print with no arguments:
>>> print()
>>>
Note: the empty line after calling the print function. The default end value when calling print is the newline character \\n.
Using print with a string literal:
>>> print(“WebDevHub School is awesome!”)
WebDevHub School is awesome!
>>>
Note: how calling print with the string literal printed the exact string we passed in onto the screen.
Using print with a variable:
>>> slogan = “i love lamp”
>>> print(slogan)
i love lamp
>>>
Note: how calling print with the slogan variable prints the value assigned to the slogan variable.
Using print with an expression:
>>> superlative = “wonderful”
>>> school = “WebDevHub School”
>>> print(school + “ is “ + superlative)
WebDevHub School is wonderful
>>>
Note: how the argument for the print function can be an expression. Once the expression is resolved to a string object, the print function can output it to the screen.
Using print with other object types:
print(2021)
2021
>>> print(123.456)
123.456
>>> print(False)
False
>>> print([“WebDevHub”, “School”, 2, 0, 2, 0])
[‘WebDevHub’, ‘School’, 2, 0, 2, 0]
>>> print((“WebDevHub”, “School”))
(‘WebDevHub’, ‘School’)
>>> print({“school”: “WebDevHub School”, “year”: 2021})
{‘school’: ‘WebDevHub School’, ‘year’: 2021}
>>>
Any object passed as an argument into print will get converted into a string type before outputted to the screen.
You can see how the print function is easy to use and how it can handle any object type that you pass into it.
Passing multiple arguments into print
Now, let’s look at how we can pass multiple arguments into the print function. Using print with multiple arguments gives you a flexible and easy way to output items to the screen.
We can pass multiple objects, all of the same or different types, into print.
>>> print(“WebDevHub School”, 2021, True)
WebDevHub School 2021 True
>>>
Note: how each object we passed in was converted to a string and then output to the screen. Note: also that print used “ “ as the default separator value.
We can change the separator value by assigning a value to the keyword argument sep.
>>> print(“WebDevHub School”, 2021, True, sep=”!!!”)
WebDevHub School!!!2021!!!True
>>> print(“WebDevHub School”, 2021, True, sep=”\\t”)
WebDevHub School 2021 True
>>> print(“WebDevHub School”, 2021, True, sep=”\\n”)
WebDevHub School
2021
True
>>> print(“WebDevHub School”, 2021, True, sep=””)
WebDevHub School2021True
>>>
Specifying the end value with print
You can also specify the end value by assigning a value to the end keyword argument when you call the print function. Being able to print a value to the screen but allow the user to stay on the same line is useful and necessary in some cases.
Here is how you can change the default end value (which is \\n) when calling the print function.
>>> print(“Are you a WebDevHub School student?”, end=” (Y or N)”)
Are you a WebDevHub School student? (Y or N)>>>
Customizing the end value when calling the print function can be useful and necessary in some circumstances.
You have now learned the basics of using the print function in Python. You learned how to call the print function to print objects of different types. You now know how to use print with multiple positional arguments. In certain necessary situations, you also know how to change the default end value when calling the print function.
Now, get some practice using the print function by completing the Try: below.

Use white space to denote blocks
Overview
Python is unique because indentation instead of some other character marks blocks of code. A block of code is a collection of statements that are grouped. The syntax for denoting blocks varies from language to language. For example, in C, blocks are delimited by curly braces ({ and }). Understanding how Python uses whitespace and indentation to denote logical lines and code blocks is essential.

Whitespace Characters
Whitespace is any character represented by something that appears empty (usually \\t or “ “). The characters that Python considers to be whitespace can be seen by printing out the value of string.whitespace from the string library.
>>> import string
>>> string.whitespace
‘ \\t\\n\\r\\x0b\\x0c’
>>>
Note: the characters are “ “ (space), \\t (tab), \\n (newline), \\r (return), \\x0b (unicode line tabulation), and \\x0c (unicode form feed).
You’ve seen the different types of whitespace characters that can appear, but you mainly need to concern yourself with “ “, \\t, and \\n.
Logical Lines of Code
Whitespace is used to denote the end of a logical line of code. In Python, a logical line of code’s end (a statement or a definition) is marked by a \\n.
>>> first = “WebDevHub”
>>> second = “School”
>>> first + second
‘WebDevHubSchool’
>>> first \\
… + \\
… second
‘WebDevHubSchool’
>>>
Note: how the REPL evaluates the expression first + second when I return on line 3. Below that, I can write one logical line of code over multiple lines by ending each line with a \\ character. That \\ character lets the Python interpreter that even though there is a newline, you don’t want it to treat it as the end of a logical line.
It’s important to understand that Python assumes meaning in newline characters when trying to interpret your code.
Code Blocks
Whitespace (indentation) can denote code blocks. Python gives meaning to the amount of whitespace (indentation level) that comes before a logical line of code.
>>> if True:
… if True:
File “<stdin>”, line 2
if True:
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
>>>
