SPICEWORLD, THE MOVIE
Review by Luke Buckmaster
The advertising line on Spice Worlds poster reads: They cant just sing. Which is news to me because I never knew they could sing anyway.
Having now seen their film, my opinion has differed considerably: the obvious talent they possess in vocals and dance (not to mention their looks) is what has earned them a position at the top of the music industry. Fortunately, acting was never part of the groups forte - until now
Before the film started I was shocked - shocked I tell you, when I realized that I had been suckered into a devious scheme to cram as much advertising as possible into a two hour experience. First came the Polaroid Spice Cam, then the Impulse Spice Deodorant, and when the film began it didnt even stop there.
For what else is Spice World than a movie length endorsement of this mega popular group? The soundtrack is from the groups latest album (of the same name), and after seeing the movie who wouldnt want to spice up their life? However, spicing up your life means slicing up your wallet. Its just a good thing that Spice World is more than worth its admission price.
The group of five consists of Emma (Baby Spice), Geri (Ginger Spice), Melanie B (Scary Spice), Victoria (Posh Spice) and Melanie C (Sporty Spice). Their clichi characters come through sharp and clear, and although they are obviously exaggerated to suit the needs of fans and mammoth commercialism, this is all the more fun.
The film follows the pressure, tension and adventure leading up to the Spice Girls first live concert ever. The girls are faced with their own set of dilemmas, including making time for their pregnant friend (of which they are the Godmothers of) and avoiding a nasty scheme to split them up, concocted by a lunatic newspaper owner. But the documentary style of this film is almost deceiving - this is by no means a serious or even accurate account of the girls experiences.
The biggest surprise in stall for viewers is the elements of tame slapstick humor that Spice World welcomes with open arms, and occasionally is not unlike what we have seen in films such as Austin Powers or even Robin Hood: Men in Tights. But whereas those films based their entire plot around that kind of humor, Spice World contains it as an added bonus so the comedy aspect of this film wont bore or patronize the audience. Celebrities Richard E. Grant, Meatloaf and Roger Moore help the plot move swiftly along its entertaining ride of comedy and music. As for the girls themselves; their performances are naturally not of the highest standard, but thankfully their acting time is limited and impressive dance/music scenes occur numerously. There is no doubt in my mind that the Spice Girls were perfect characters for a movie ever since the start of their career - Spice World knows this and often parodies that idea and the sketchy structuring of the film.
During the movie girls are able to appreciate the music and exaggerated personalities of their idols whilst the guys will have more than a good time, as their eyes will no doubt wander across the screen depending on where the Spice Girls are sitting, crouching or dancing.
Its somewhat surprising that Spice World turned out to be such a clever contraption of comedy and song, and whilst the obvious strength of the movie is its fabulous music scenes, everything shown is sexy, catchy and great fun for teens of both sexes.
3 = stars out of 5 A Spicy World is fine by me

_Gloria_ (R) ** (out of ****)
Since her breakthrough performance in 1992's _Basic_Instinct_, Sharon Stone has been intent on proving that she is a "serious actress." Yet while she earned her critical and industry vindication with her Golden Globe-winning and Academy Award-nominated turn in 1995's _Casino_, Stone still feels she has something to prove.
Stone's latest bid for her already-won respectability (further cemented by her generally well-received turn in 1996's _Last_Dance_ and her recent Globe nod for last year's _The_Mighty_) is _Gloria_, director Sidney Lumet's update of John Cassavetes's 1980 drama of the same name, which earned star Gena Rowlands matching Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. I have not seen the original film, but on her own merits (despite a distracting accent, which also marred her otherwise strong _Last Dance_ work), Stone delivers an appropriately steely but warmly comedic turn as the title character, a gangster's (Jeremy Northam) ex-girlfriend who takes under her wing a young boy (newcomer Jean-Luke Figueroa) whose family was killed by the gangster's crew.
It is highly doubtful, though, that Stone will duplicate Rowland's double nomination, for the film overall is much less effective than she is. Although the film had been sitting on Sony's shelf for a year, and the studio opted not to screen it for critics, _Gloria_ is not the disaster those facts would suggest; the film is simply more dull than anything else. Lumet is no stranger to the streets of New York, having walked the territory in films sush as _Dog_Day_Afternoon_ and _Serpico_, and the look and atmosphere of _Gloria_ bears a gritty authenticity. But there's little Lumet can do to juice up Steven Antin's suspenseless update of Cassavetes's original script--not even an extended car chase. Not long after the setup, where Gloria is released from a Florida prison; a mob thug murders the family of the kid, Nicky; and the two meet, the film settles into a predictable rhythm. Scenes of Gloria being simultaneously annoyed and charmed by Nicky alternate with those of her ex, Kevin, ordering his men to find and kill the pair and retrieve the precious floppy disk in the Nicky's possession. The repetitive nature of the script could have been made somewhat bearable if it built to an exciting climax and resolution, but there is neither. The conflict with Kevin is resolved in a most anticlimactic fashion, and the outcome of the Gloria/Nicky relationship is pretty much what one can predict from the get-go.
So, yes, Miss Stone, you can act, as we can see yet again in _Gloria_. We get it already. Now it's time to start entertaining your audience, something you haven't done in much too long.

Sabina von Essen is an artist and engineer whose passion is technology and art. The combination of technology and art means that she has an unusual approach to creation. “I lack formal art education and I think this is a strength. I create my own rules and can allow myself to be youthful naive, ”says Sabina. Sabina performs independent and original paintings with acrylic paint. The motifs reflect emotions, situations and environments that affected the artist during her upbringing. The compositions can therefore be regarded as abstract interpretations of the artist's perspective of life. The works are innovative and modern and have been greatly appreciated. Sabina often works with gold and silver color to give the works a very unique effect, which makes them shimmer and become more vivid. With a strong faith and fascination with technology, her goal is to find the intersection of technology and art and thus a new digital way of perceiving art.

17/10/2016 - Technical blog 1 : Boxifying everything
Can you think of an analogy to describe HTML, CSS and the DOM? How would you describe it to your non-technical friend?
HTML can be seen as the structure of a house : the foundations, the walls, the beams and the roof. It is the real meat, the solid content of the Internet. CSS is the decoration of the house : wallpaper, rugs, hardwood flooor... It makes the hard content a bit more soft, visually appealing, pleasant to go through. The DOM is the architect that makes it all work, making sense of the house's blueprint and treating every elements as an object to be translated in a physical form, or object.

What is meant by boxifying design?
Boxifying is the act of taking a design and turning it into a series of boxes through the tools of HTML and CSS. Everything on the Internet can be reduced to a box, whether large or small. In fact, most boxes on the internet are inside larger boxes, and contain smaller boxes : every web page is a matryoshka doll!

New Balance Updates M997NAK in Lush "Royal Purple/Black" Tones
Premium pig suede.
by Charlie ZhangFollowing an Earth-toned iteration, New Balance has returned with an updated 997 doused in a lush “Royal Purple/Black” colorway. Dubbed M997NAK, the update features a bevy of handcrafted details above premium pig suede textiles.
Coming in a mix of suede, leather and rubber panels, the sneakers have been assembled by hand at local factories in Maine and Massachusetts. The top of the tongue is stamped with “New Balance” embroidery above a lush grey base, followed by flat black laces covering the forefoot. Smooth rubber overlays appear along the upper quarters, complemented by black sidewalls stamped with the “N” logo. The lower areas of the shoes are rich with bold purple highlights, covering the rear quarter and all of the toebox. All of these details sit above a full-length ENCAP midsole, packing a flexible split-detail polyurethane technology to deliver lightweight comfort and support.
The New Balance M997NAK “Royal Purple/Black” is currently available at onenessboutique.com for $220 USD.
Elsewhere, Reebok has teamed up with nanamica for an understated sportswear collab.

We’re going to do this real fast; for 131:
Haskell = Ocaml + Better syntax
We assume you are familiar with Ocaml
So: we’ll learn Haskell by comparison.
Type Ascription
Ocaml uses :
for type ascription
e : t
meanse
has typet
(12 : int)
vs.
Haskell uses ::
for type ascription
e :: t
meanse
has typet
(12 :: Int)
Function Definitions and Calls
Ocaml
(* val incr : int -> int *)
let incr x = x + 1
let eleven = incr 10
vs
Haskell
incr :: Int -> Int
incr x = x + 1
eleven = incr 10
let
not needed for top-level binding.
Pattern Matching
Ocaml
(* val listSum : int list -> int list *)
let rec listSum xs = match xs with
| [] -> 0
| (x::xs') -> x + listSum xs'
vs
Haskell
listSum :: [Int] -> [Int]
listSum xs = case xs of
[] -> 0
x:xs' -> x + listSum xs'
or better,
listSum :: [Int] -> [Int]
listSum [] = 0
listSum (x:xs) = x + listSum xs
Haskell allows different equations for different cases.
Colon vs. Double-Colon
Ocaml
- uses
::
for “cons” - uses
:
for “has type”
vs
Haskell
- uses
:
for “cons” - uses
::
for “has type”
A handy table
| Operator | Ocaml | Haskell |
|---|---|---|
:: |
“cons” | “has type” |
: |
“has type” | “cons” |
Local Variables
Ocaml
(* val filter : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list *)
let filter f xs = match xs with
| [] -> []
| x::xs' -> let rest = filter f xs' in
if f x then x :: rest else rest
vs
Haskell
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
filter f [] = []
filter f (x:xs) let rest = filter f xs' in
if f x then x:rest else rest
QUIZ: Local Variables
quiz = x + y
where
x = 0
y = 1
What is the value of quiz
?
A. Syntax error B. Type Error C. 0
D. 1
E. Other
QUIZ: Local Variables
quiz = x + y
where
x = 0
y = x + 1

Local Variables (revisited)
So we can take
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
filter f [] = []
filter f (x:xs) let rest = filter f xs' in
if f x then x:rest else rest
and write it better as
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
filter f [] = []
filter f (x:xs) = if f x then x:rest else rest
where
rest = filter f xs'
where lets you pull local variables aside:
- meaning exactly same as
let
, but - can specify them in any order.
(Seems strange at first, but truly beautiful.)
Anonymous Functions
Ocaml
(* val negate : ('a -> bool) -> 'a -> bool *)
let negate f = fun x -> not (f x)
vs
Haskell
negate :: (a -> Bool) -> a -> Bool
negate f = \x -> not (f x)
Very similar: Ocaml’s fun
is replaced with Haskell’s \
Tuples and Lists
Ocaml
(* val partition: ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> ('a list * 'a list) *)
let partition f xs = (filter f xs, filter (negate f) xs)
vs
Haskell
partition :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a])
partition f xs = (filter f xs, filter (negate f) xs)
Note
- Haskell uses
(t1, t2)
vs Ocaml’s(t1 * t2)
- Haskell uses
[t]
vs Ocaml’st list
Larger Example
Ocaml
(* val sort : 'a list -> 'a list *)
let rec sort xs = match xs with
| [] -> []
| (h::t) -> let (ls, rs) = partition (fun x -> x < h) t in
sort ls @ [h] @ sort rs
vs
Haskell
sort :: (Ord a) => [a] -> [a]
sort [] = []
sort (h:t) = sort ls ++ [h] ++ sort rs
where
(ls,rs) = partition (\x -> x < h) t
QUIZ: List Comprehensions
What is the value of
quiz = [0..5]
A. Syntax Error B. Type Error C. [0, 5]
D. [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
E. [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
QUIZ: List Comprehensions
What is the value of
quiz = [x * 10 | x <- xs]
where
xs = [0..5]
A. Syntax Error B. Type Error C. [0, 50]
D. [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]
E. [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
QUIZ: List Comprehensions
What is the value of
quiz = [x * 10 | x <- xs, x < 3]
where
xs = [0..5]
A. []
B. [0]
C. [0, 10]
D. [0, 10, 20]
E. [0, 10, 20, 30]
QUIZ: List Comprehensions
We can simplify the sort
using list comprehensions, as in Python:
sort :: (Ord a) => [a] -> [a]
sort [] = []
sort (h:t) = sort ls ++ [h] ++ sort rs
where
ls = [x | x <- t, x <= h]
rs = [x | x <- t, h < x]
Defining Data
Ocaml
type expr

Constructing Data
Ocaml
let ex0 = Number 5.
let ex1 = Plus (ex0, Number 7.)
let ex2 = Minus (Number 4., Number 2.)
let ex3 = Times (ex1, ex2)
vs
Haskell
ex0 = Number 5
ex1 = Plus ex0 (Number 7)
ex2 = Minus (Number 4) (Number 2)
ex3 = Times ex1 ex2
Note
The tags Plus
, Number
etc. are (constructor) functions
Plus :: Expr -> Expr -> Expr
Minus :: Expr -> Expr -> Expr
Times :: Expr -> Expr -> Expr

Destructing (Accessing) Data
Ocaml
(* val eval: expr -> float *)
let rec eval e = match e with
| Number n -> n
| Plus (e1, e2) -> eval e1 +. eval e2
| Minus (e1, e2) -> eval e1 -. eval e2
| Times (e1, e2) -> eval e1 *. eval e2
vs
Haskell
eval :: Expr -> Double
eval (Number n) = n
eval (Plus e1 e2) = eval e1 + eval e2
eval (Minus e1 e2) = eval e1 - eval e2
eval (Times e1 e2) = eval e1 * eval e2
Oh look, we wrote a compiler!
- What’s the source language?
- What’s the target language?
Recursive Functions
Ocaml
let fact n = if n <= 0 then 1 else n * fact (n-1)
vs.
Haskell
fact n = if n <= 0 then 1 else n * fact (n-1)
Printf Debugging
Very Very Important
Q: How to print out each input-output pair for calls to fact
?
Ocaml
(as in Java, C, Python…), just print it:
let fact n =
let res = if n <= 0 then 1 else n * fact (n-1) in
let _ = Printf.printf "fact n = %d, res = %d\n" n d in
res
vs
Haskell
You can’t just print stuff (for very good reasons…)
However, you can do this:
import Text.Printf (printf)
import Debug.Trace (trace)
-- trace :: String -> a -> a
fact n = trace msg res
where
msg = printf "fact n = %d, res = %d\n" n res
res = if n <= 0 then 1 else n * fact (n-1)
Which pretty much does what you want.
*Foo> fact 5
fact n = 0, res = 1
fact n = 1, res = 1
fact n = 2, res = 2
fact n = 3, res = 6
fact n = 4, res = 24
fact n = 5, res = 120

Adopt an animal through BC SPCA for half price this weekend
Animal lovers can head to shelters across the province on Nov. 9
by Nicole CrescenziAnyone who has been thinking of adopting a pet should head down to their local BC SCPA shelter this weekend.
The second annual Fall Head Over Tales in Love event on Nov. 9 will see animals at each branch across BC available for adoption at a reduced fee.
Most animals, including dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, rats and guinea pigs will be available for 50 per cent off the adoption fee and BC Pet Registry fee. Additional adoption discounts for farm animals will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
ALSO READ: BC SPCA overwhelmed with cats, kittens needing homes
“This adoption event was such a success last year that each of our 36 adoption facilities are eager to find loving homes for animals in our care,” said Mark Takhar, BC SPCA’s chief operations officer in a statement. “Welcoming a rescued animal into your home is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. As always, our top priority is to ensure that every animal finds their perfect people, so our usual matching process will be in effect for this event.”
ALSO READ: New BC SPCA program helps dog owners find the right trainer
Takhar said the event is important, because the high rate of adoptions in a single day allows the BC SPCA to care for additional vulnerable animals in the community.
In 2018, the first Fall Head Over Tails in Love event saw a total of 212 pets adopted, representing 40 per cent of the animals in SCPA care at the time. in total in 2018, the BC SPCA found homes for 14,000 animals.

These Man United fans on Solskjaer’s ‘sackable’ comments after draw vs Sheffield
by Jaikuran RandhawaManchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to have angered some fans with his comments after the Red Devils drew against Sheffield United.
The Manchester outfit pulled off an impressive comeback only for Scotsman Oli McBurnie to score a stoppage time equaliser for the Blades.
Solskjaer surprisingly told Sky Sports after the exciting clash that: “The difference between this year’s team and last year’s is huge. Last year we would’ve been 3, 4 or 5 down.”
United are now 9th in the league but a win today would have saw them jump into 5th place. It seems as though the Red Devils missed a glorious opportunity to reignite their challenge for a top four spot.
Take a look at what the Norwegian had to day after the 3-3 draw, courtesy of Sky Sports:
Here’s how some of the club’s supporters reacted to Solskjaer’s post-match comments:
Solskjaer certainly hasn’t done himself any favours with his post-match comments, the pressure will be mounting on the United legend after another disappointing performance.
It’s absolutely essential that United build some momentum as we await the hectic December and Christmas schedule. The Red Devils’ next three leagues clashes are against Aston Villa, Tottenham and cross-town rivals Manchester City.
Going off of recent performance it’s hard to believe that United have what it takes to win any of these games comfortably.
The clash against Tottenham is arguably bigger than the Manchester derby, it would be massive for Solskjaer to get a win over his predecessor Jose Mourinho.


This is a tool to practice intensive listening in a foreign language.
To start, choose (or drag and drop) a file you’d like to listen to.
Come again? is a tool for developing listening skills in a foreign language.
To practice listening effectively, it’s important to repeat small sections of a text until you can understand and say them without effort. Since most apps do not offer a convenient way to rewind quickly, I designed Come again? with this in mind.
It works entirely in your browser, so you’re not uploading anything when you use it.
You can use the keys in the home row (A to ;) to control playback by rewinding/skipping at 1-to-4-second intervals.
You can also use the numbers 1 to 4 or the left and right arrow keys to rewind.
Use the spacebar to play or pause the audio.
You can loop a section of audio. Use G to set the starting point and then H to set the end point. You can make the loop shorter by pressing G or H while the loop is playing. To cancel the loop, press escape.
Use the up and down arrow keys to control the volume.
To slow the audio down, press the period (.) key. To reset to the original speed, press the comma (,) key.
Transcription is an excellent way to practice your listening and writing skills. The link at the bottom of the page will give you a box to write in while listening. The original controls still work if you hold control; for example, control + space will play/pause the audio. If you go back to the original screen, your writing won’t be lost. Just make sure to copy and paste it somewhere before closing or refreshing Come again?.
Press control + = and control + - to increase/decrease the font size in the transcription box.
If you want to load a new audio file, just refresh the page.
Come again? works best in Chrome.
Comments? Suggestions? Email me!
Sorry, this app is not for smartphones.
If you use a computer with Google Chrome, it will work well.

9 February 2006
The Ministry of Health in China has reported the country’s eleventh laboratory confirmed case of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus.
The case is a 26-year-old female farmer from the south-eastern province of Fujian. She developed symptoms on 10 January and was subsequently hospitalized with pneumonia. She remains under treatment in stable condition.
Like many of the other cases in China, this one occurred in an area where no recent poultry outbreaks have been officially reported.
Of China’s eleven laboratory confirmed cases, seven have been fatal. The cases have occurred in seven provinces and regions: Anhui, Fujian, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, Liaoning, and Sichuan.
The continuing occurrence of sporadic human cases indicates that the virus is continuing to circulate in birds in at least some parts of the country. Since May 2005, agricultural authorities have reported 32 poultry outbreaks across the country, the majority of which were reported in October and November 2005.
Three poultry outbreaks have been reported so far this year: one in Sichuan Province on 3 January, one in Guizhou Province on 10 January, and one in Shanxi Province on 8 February.
The country’s first two confirmed human cases of H5N1 infection were reported in mid-November of last year.


The Ninth Gate (2000) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/ Member: Online Film Critics Society
Starring Johnny Depp, Frank Langella, Emmanuelle Seigner, Lena Olin. Directed by Roman Polanski. Rated R.
I saw Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate right after Final Destination, and I'd be lying if I said that these circumstances didn't affect my judgment at least a little bit. Many will argue that comparing the two would be comparing apples and oranges because they are so superficially different but I'd say that they have more in common than meets the eye. After all, they have the same intention: to generate suspense and evoke occasional laughs. So why does The Ninth Gate succeed while its more mainstream counterpart fails? Because instead of relying on mayhem and explosions, Polanski's superb supernatural thriller uses quiet, building tension. By the time the ending comes around, I realized that a) the time has flown by and b) I've moved precariously close to the edge of my seat.
The movie has a mustached, older-looking Johnny Depp as Dean Corso, a bibliophile specializing in extremely old and rare books. He does a lot of mundane, regular stuff like appraisal and not-terribly-exciting searches. He also has a few employers who expect more. One of these employers is the creepy Boris Balkan, who has a gargantuan collection of ancient volumes all having one thing in common: Satan is the main character.
Dean has done things for Balkan in the past and has been paid handsomely, but this time Boris has a special assignment for him. He has one very special book, said to conceal the secret to unleashing the devil's powers. Conveniently, it was written in 1666. There are three surviving copies. Dean is to go to Europe and seek out the other two in order to verify that Boris's is the real deal and not a phony.
The Ninth Gate is probably the most intense movie experience I've had since Arlington Road, which is remarkable because there is not a whole lot of action. The movie was quiet and slow, yet the excitement kept building. This is partly because the plot is so inherently interesting - - as Dean Corso begins to uncover the secrets of the mysterious book, we're with him every step of the way, just as curious as he is. It also has to do with controversial director Roman Polanski's masterful plotting and staging of scenes. An example (minor spoiler ahead, skip to next paragraph if you don't want it): in France, Dean meets up with an enigmatic woman, who seems to pop up everywhere he goes in the most opportune circumstances. At one point, we see her fly. Dean does not. A lesser director would have punctuated the scene with loud music, heavenly choruses, et al. Polanski stages it matter-of-factly; it's a surprise made all the more creepy by the fact that it's not highlighted in any way. Blink and you'll miss it.
When people talk about Johnny Depp, especially with negative connotations, I always suggest that they watch The Astronaut's Wife and Sleepy Hollow back to back to get a sense of the actor's astonishing range. Now, I add The Ninth Gate to that list. He's a veritable chameleon (a title usually reserved for the deserving, though less daring, Edward Norton) and it's unbelievable to me that he has never received an Oscar nomination. Here we see yet another side of him. His performance is more subtle, not as distinctive, but that doesn't make it any less impressive or engaging.
The one thing that prevented me from calling The Ninth Gate a full- blown masterpiece is the ending. If Polanski's intention here was to leave us with unanswered questions, he succeeded, as his movie just sorta stops instead of giving us a satisfying and rewarding conclusion. As spectacular as everything that came before the ending was, such ambiguity was a letdown.
Still, there is so much good about The Ninth Gate that I recommend it strongly despite a disappointing ending.

My project will mostly base on 2 fields of technology to support the project. The first is AI and Machine Learning, and the second is Arduino.
I never knew what Arduino is until I did a project in high school. Arduino is a very useful tool that is widely used in the world, and it is becoming more popular now in Viet Nam. The birth of Arduino is a great help for students who have passion for electronics, and who are studying technology and electronics.
Arduino was launched worldwide in 2005 as a tool for students to study and do research by Professor Massimo Banzi. Arduino then went viral and was widely used at breakneck speed thanks only to the good reviews of the first users.
Arduino is a platform on which every hardware device is perfect. Users just need to create ideas, prepare all the things they need and reassemble them, then they will have a complete product. Each with the symbol "Arduino" refers to pre-written lines of code developed by the Arduino community. Your job is to take that available resource and refine it according to your own needs.
The Arduino platform is quite popular for beginners in the technology and electronics field.
The Arduino structure includes: power, pins, reset button, power indicator LED, RX TX LED, IC (integrated circuit), voltage regulation.
Some products of Arduino at the moment is: Arduino Uno, Lilypad Arduino, RedBoard, Arduino Mega, Arduino Leonardo
An Arduino includes:
- Hardware: programmable microcontroller, which is expandable and can be connected with other circuits.
- The integrated IDE development software allows users to write programs in C, C ++ or uses to compile code, ..
Arduino has become a phenomenon in the electronic playground in the world thanks to its convenience and simplicity. Products from the Arduino community, which have been popular with many users, are varied in so much aspects with reasonable prices, so they are quite suitable for many requirements.
Connection
Arduino can connect and interact with many surrounding systems and environments:
- An arduino can work independently.
- Sensor system (measuring temperature, humidity, object color, ..). For example: pH meter
- Display devices (LCD display, LED light, ..)
- Modules that support wired or wireless connection to link with other devices (3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, ..)
- GPS, SMS
Some applications of Arduino in life:
- Project development for users, such as students.
- Control traffic lights, make LEDs blink on billboards.
- Make 3D printers
- Make a toaster to signal users when the cake is done.
- Control light and sound sensors (for example, I used an Arduino for fire alarm system in my project).
With a playing field and the number of people using Arduino as many as the present day, I am sure that the future of Arduino-labeled products will become brighter with higher qualities. As someone who has already used Arduino in most of my projects, I appreciates Arduino very much. It is simple and enables my projects to be more understandable and more flexible to be developed and completed.

blox 0.98 & 0.99
This page is more or less the same as the online documentation; the only substantive difference is that most of the links on this page don't work ;-)
This one doc covers both versions of blox -- v0.99 (with markup) and v0.98 (no markup). v0.98 users should note the following differences in their version:
• no markup option ($markup_active
)
• no automatic xhtml adjustment ($use_xhtml_tags
) for
 tags; for xhtml-compliance, set the$break
variable to "

"
The blox plugin generates "paragraph" markup tags around blocks of plain text as your entry files are processed by Blosxom. Just type plain text into your entry files, separating paragraphs by at least one blank line (really blank; no spaces, tabs, etc.). When Blosxom builds your stories, blox will add the open- and close-tags of your choice to each paragraph. Existing markup tags will be left alone.
blox also has options to insert linebreaks (e.g.
) on single lines, and to use a simple, natural-idiom markup notation to add heads, rules, text styles, lists, blockquotes, images, anchors, and links to your entries with no tedious html coding.
blox also lets you use virtually any text processor and upload method for your entry files, by recognizing "lines" from either Unix-, Mac-, or Windows-based text processors (ascii 10; ascii 13; or ascii 13/10 line-ends).
For example, consider this entry file text:
Welcome to my entry. Short, isn't it?Without block-level html tags, this entry file will render on the page as:
Welcome to my entry.Short, isn't it?
(Eh, not very pretty.)
With blox, the entry renders like this:
Welcome to my entry.
Short, isn't it?
That's much better.
blox's tagged output for that entry looks like this:

 Welcome to my entry.

 Short, isn't it?

Getting blox
There are two versions of blox available, each in two different forms:
- blox 0.99
This is the full-featured, latest and greatest version of blox, including markup notation.
• To download to your web browser, use this link: blox
• To download to a disk, use this link: blox.zip
(The zipped file includes both versions of blox and all documentation.) - blox 0.98
This is the final version of the "original" blox: it wraps text in paragraph tags, handles non-unix line ends, optionally adds

tags to single lines, and allows files and/or directories to be ignored. This version has no markup notation; it is intended for users who are happy with the basic blox features. If you use this version, make sure to rename the plugin file fromblox98
toblox
.• To download to your web browser, use this link: blox98
• To download to a disk, use this link: blox.zip
(The zipped file includes both versions of blox and all documentation.)
Installing blox
To install blox, first open the file and look down at the "Configuration Section"; enter values as instructed; save. Then, drop the file into your Blosxom plugins folder. Blog on.
Options
Open and Close tags : the text you enter in between the single quote marks for $open_p_tag
and $close_p_tag
becomes the exact open- and close-tags inserted before and after each block of text in your entry file.
You can use, for example:
$open_p_tag = '
'; $close_p_tag = '
'; or:
$open_p_tag = '
'; $close_p_tag = '
'; or even:
$open_p_tag = '
<dfn class="1">'; $close_p_tag = '</dfn>
';
Initial and Final tags : the $add_initial_open_tag
and $add_final_close_tag
variables tell blox whether or not to try putting an open-tag at the very top of your entry, and a close-tag at the very bottom of your entry. For instance, maybe your story template puts a sexy drop cap paragraph style tag right before $story
-- the effect would be ruined if blox put
 atop your entry text. Likewise, you can prevent a close-tag from being added at the end of your entry file.
Use "0
" to turn the tag off; use "1
" to turn the tag on.
Breaking single lines : The $break_singles
variable tells blox to add a tag at the end of single lines; the $break
variable supplies the tag (normally

). When this is turned off (set to zero), the following entry file text
line one line two line threewill be rendered on your blog page as "line oneline twoline three".
Use "0
" to turn the break off; use "1
" to turn the break on. The normal $break
tag is

; you can change this to

, etc. Depending on other settings, blox may change your $break
behind the scene; read the More info on linebreaks note at the end of this section for complete details.
Simple markup : The $markup_active
variable tells blox to use its simple markup system to automatically add tags for heads, rules, text styles, lists, blockquotes, images, anchors, and links. Notation rules are:
* bold words* | stars enclose words on single lines |
/ italic words/ | slashes enclose words on single lines |
_ underline words_ | underscores enclose words on single lines |
[= monospace letters] | "[=" can be anywhere; "]" can span lines |
* Unordered List Item0 Ordered List Item |
Consecutive lines beginning with '* ' and '0 ' become lists; nest lists with '** ' and '00 ', etc. Ordered items can begin with one or more digits, optionally followed by a : , ) , > , + , or - ; unordered items can begin with one or more * , + , or - . List items can span lines, provided no line starts with a space. |
{= Blockquote =} |
Text contained by '{= ' and '=} ' becomes blockquote. {= must start a line, =} must end a line; =} can span paragraphs. |
[ img /path/to/image.gif] | brackets enclose "img" and a relative-to-root image path. Image dimensions and attributes are optional. |
[ http://path] | brackets enclose single-line url, beginning with "htttp:", "ftp:", or "irc:". Attributes are optional. |
[ link name http://path] | brackets enclose single-line words and url; url begins with "http:", "ftp:", or "irc:". Attributes are optional. |
[ link name //rel/to/site] [ link name :/rel/to/blog] | url can also be relative-to-root (// ) or relative-to-blog (:/ ). Attributes are optional. |
[ #anchor_name] [ link name ##anchor_name] | brackets enclose '#' and single-word anchor name; brackets enclose single-line link name and '##' and single-word anchor name; attributes are optional. |
= Headline 1-6 | equals sign(s) and one space preceed text at start of single line; the number of "=" sets the "number" of the head; e.g. "= " yields H1 while "==== " yields H4. Equals signs can balance on the far side of the text; e.g. "=== Topic" is the same as "=== Topic ===". |
---- | four dashes at start of line followed by newline becomes a horizontal rule |
! | exclamation point escapes ("negates") any of these effects by preceding the leading mark. |
The file blox markup guide.txt is a complete guide to blox markup notation. Set $markup_active
and $break_singles
to 1
in blox, and drop the file into your datadir; when you refresh your blog you'll see many samples of working and non-working markup. View the rendered markup here.
Using a noblox file : There may be times when you want blox to skip an entry file, or a whole folder of entry files. One method is to put <--noblox-->
as the first line of body text in an entry file...but for existing files, this means changing the mod time, thus changing the post's position in your blog (p'bly). To avoid this, you can also skip a file by entering its path (from your Blosxom datadir) as a line in a text file named "noblox" (no quotes).
The $use_noblox_file
variable tells blox whether or not to spend time looking at a noblox
file; the $noblox_path
variable tells blox where to look for the noblox
file.
To use a noblox
file, first create a text file named "noblox" (without the quotes) in the "state" dir of your Blosxom plugins directory; on individual lines in this file, list directories or files that blox should skip over. The paths you enter should start where $blosxom::datadir
leaves off. Here are two samples -- note the format for directories:
dirname/ dirname/filename.ext
Here's an example. Let's say the path to your Bloxsom datadir is:
/var/www/html/my_domain.net/blosxom
and you want blox to skip the file at:
/my_domain.net/blosxom/docs/tech/projects/time_machine.txt
you would enter this on a line in the noblox
file:
docs/tech/projects/time_machine.txt
To skip the entire "projects" directory, you would enter this on a line in the noblox
file:
docs/tech/projects/
If certain files or directories within a noblox directory need to use blox, you can "un-ignore" them by prepending a "!" (no quotes) to their path. For example, let's say that everything in the
/docs/tech directory
could be ignored, except for the files in
/docs/tech/projects directory
Your noblox entries would look like this:
docs/tech/
!docs/tech/projects/
Now, every entry file in /docs/tech/programming
and /docs/tech/news
will
be ignored, but the files in the /docs/tech/projects
directory will be
handled by blox.
NOTE: a noblox comment within an entry file always "trumps" an unignore path in the noblox file.
Playing nice with other plugins : The $play_nice
variable lets you turn off the expected blox behavior of ignoring stories that contain a $meta::markup
value. Most users should leave this value set to 1:
my $play_nice = 1;
Advanced markup config : Several settings let you control the tags generated by blox markup. Tag elements can be set for the four "character styles" italic ($i_tag
; normally "i"), bold ($b_tag
; normally "b"), underline($u_tag
; normally "u"), and monospaced ($mono_tag
; normally "code"). For instance, you might want to use em
as the italics tag; or strong
as the bold tag, or tt
or kbd
as the monospaced tag.
Setting the $use_xhtml_tags
variable to 1
tells blox to close the so-called "empty" tags

,

, and
with " />
" (XHTML) instead of the "normal" ">
" (HTML).
Normally, blox is "loose" and doesn't add close tags to list items; setting the $close_list_item
variable to 1
will add

tags to list items.
Normally, blox is "loose" and doesn't add link text to anchors (e.g.
); setting the $anchor_text
variable to 1
will add a non-breaking space (
) as link text, yielding
.
More info on linebreaks
blox always adds

tags to multi-line list items, regardless of the $break_singles
setting. Only

is used; your $break
setting is ignored (but see below).
When $use_xhtml_tags
is set to 1
, blox changes the list item break tag to

automatically. Likewise, blox will automatically change your $break
tag when $use_xhtml_tags
is set; even if you've changed $break
to

, blox will change it to

. (Specifically, if your $break
tag starts with "

" when $use_xhtml_tags
is set.)
Usage
When typing entry files, just ignore making paragraph tags and leave a blank line between paragraphs. To use a tag at the start or end of a paragraph and still have blox insert a paragraph tag, add a single space character before or after that tag. Use the markup notation to avoid even more html coding; note that leading or trailing spaces are not required when paragraphs begin or end with markup.
To have blox ignore (skip over) files, add a
comment to the file, or include its path in a noblox
file in your plugins state directory.
Here's an example. Let's say that your paragraph tags are
 and
, and here's your entry file text:
Each entry starts with a few words in bold all-caps. Subsequent topic-introducing paragraphs are called out by opening with a few bold words. Put a space before the opening SPAN tag, and blox will still add an open-P tag. See how this paragraph begins with normal styling...only the first paragraph gets the razzle-dazzle. Here's a new idea, so the first few words are wrapped in a  tag. A space is added before the tag, so that blox will add an open-P tag to this block.
 Here's a blockquote; we'd just as soon not have blox wrap a 'paragraph' tag around it, so we make sure there are no spaces before or after its tags.
 That's the end of this entry. (To make sure blox puts a close-P tag on this block, put a space character after this  tag) Bye!(Note that there is a space char at the very end of the entry)
Here's the html blox generates for that entry:
(Note that leading and trailing spaces have been removed)

 Each entry starts with a few words in bold all-caps. Subsequent topic-introducing paragraphs are called out by opening with a few bold words. Put a space before the opening SPAN tag, and blox will still add an open-P tag.

 See how this paragraph begins with normal styling...only the first paragraph gets the razzle-dazzle.

 Here's a new idea, so the first few words are wrapped in a  tag. A space is added before the tag, so that blox will add an open-P tag to this block.

 Here's a blockquote; we'd just as soon not have blox wrap a 'paragraph' tag around it, so we make sure there are no spaces before or after its tags.

 That's the end of this entry. (To make sure blox puts a close-P tag on this block, put a space character after this  tag) Bye!

And here's how the entry renders in a browser:
See how this paragraph begins with normal styling...only the first paragraph gets the razzle-dazzle.
Here's a new idea, so the first few words are wrapped in a  tag. A space is added before the tag, so that blox will add an open-P tag to this block.

That's the end of this entry. (To make sure blox puts a close-P tag on this block, put a space character after this  tag) Bye!
Things get even easier when you use the blox markup; note the changes in the entry:
Each entry starts with a few words in bold all-caps. Subsequent topic-introducing paragraphs are called out by opening with a few bold words. Put a space before the opening SPAN tag, and blox will still add an open-P tag. See how this paragraph begins with normal styling...only the first paragraph gets the razzle-dazzle. *Here's a new idea*, so the first few words are wrapped in a  tag by the "*" markup. No space is needed before the tag, because there is no actual < at the start of the block. {= Here's markup for a blockquote; since it's separated from surrounding text by blank lines, blox will not wrap it in 'paragraph' tags. =} That's the end of this entry. (blox needs no help in closing this paragraph, since it ends with markup instead of >.) /*Bye!*/

Discussion
blox makes typing entry files easier by adding three levels of automated html markup. blox always wraps "paragraph" tags around blocks of entry file text. Optionally, blox will add
 tags after single line breaks. As a final option, blox can render headline, blockquote, list, rule, image, link, italic, bold, underline, and monospace tags from a simple markup notation. blox will not interfere with existing tags.
blox "paragraph" markup operates according to the following rules:
- 2 or more consecutive blank lines constitute a "paragraph boundary"
- if the character preceeding a boundary (end of paragraph) is anything but
>
, blox will place your designated "close tag" on a new line at the end of the paragraph; or - if the character following the boundary (start of paragraph) is anything but
<
, blox will place your designated "open tag" on a new line at the start of the paragraph; or - if blox encounters
>
or<
at a boundary, as described above, it will skip that spot
blox "linebreak" markup operates according to the following rules:
- consecutive lines constitute a "linebreak boundary"
- if the character preceeding a boundary (end of line) is anything but
>
, and if the character following the boundary (start of next line) is anything but<
, blox will place your designated "break tag" at the end of the line; or - if blox encounters
>
or<
at a boundary, as described above, it will skip that spot
blox markup notation operates according to the following rules:
- block-like markup must begin and end one or more lines; this includes heads, rules, blockquotes, lists, anchors, and reference links
- inline-like markup must surround single-line words; this includes links, images, italics, bold, and underline
- monospace markup can begin anywhere, span multiple lines, and end anywhere
- block-like markup abutting other text will be wrapped in a paragraph; block-like markup surrounded by blank lines will "stand alone."
- since markup notation does not use
<
or>
, there is no need to add spaces where markup begins or ends a block.
Compared to other formatters, blox runs very fast, in a very small footprint. This is because blox doesn't bother trying to figure out existing html tags; it avoids them like the plague. This lets blox rattle off a mess of substitutions without spending time and space analyzing and storing html. (White lie: blox treats

blocks special; they are pulled out of the entry before processing and restored after processing, to ensure that they are not changed.)
So that's why blox has the silly requirement of adding a space to leading or trailing tags in order to get paragraph open- or close-tags -- you're paying the (small) price of the memory and time benefits granted by total "tag-avoidance" ;-)
blox Limitations & Compatibility
blox expects plain ASCII text; it has no added knowldege of UTF-8, Unicode, etc. It has been developed and tested exclusively in an "en-US", "charset=iso-8859-1" environment. It has never seen locale
.
With new entry files, you can simply ignore setting tags for "paragraphs," "breaks" and other common elements, and focus on tags such as
,

,

, etc.) and -- of course -- writing your entry.
With existing entry files, blox may be "tricked" into producing "phantom" paragraph tags by certain machine-generated or messy markup. In these cases, it's better to have blox skip the file. This can be accomplished in two ways:
- set a line in the story to
""
(without the quotes); and of course, add formatting, since blox will now skip this file ;-) - to avoid modifying entry files, create a text file named "noblox" (again, without the quotes) in the "state" dir of your Blosxom plugins directory; on individual lines in this file, list directories or files that blox should skip over. Here are two examples -- note the format for directories:
dirname/ dirname/filename.ext
Likewise, there may be times when you want blox to ignore markup but still add paragraph (and/or break) tags. This can be accomplished in three ways:
- set a line in the story to
""
(without the quotes) - if you use the meta plugin, add a
meta-markup
variable to the entry; set the value to anything other than "blox" (e.g.meta-markup:noblox
) - if you use the
config
plugin, create a config file that sets$blox::markup_active
to0
The best way to assess blox' compatibility with your existing entry files is to try it out; if entries don't look good, then adios, blox! (Remember: blox does nothing to your actual files -- any mistakes it makes with your entries only appear in Blosxom's output.
NOTE: if you are using the "blok" plugin, you should remove it; its functionality is built into blox. You can either delete blok, or change its name to "blok-
".

Tools for (open) workflows (Examples)
Conclusion
Increasing need for openness & transparancy
In the social sciences few attention to what tools to use (and why)
Workflow: Progression of steps (tasks, events, interactions) that comprise a work process, involve two or more persons, and create or add value to the organization's activities (BusinessDictionary)
Open workflow: One that enhances transparency, collaboration and reproducibility
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Lao-tzu
Good investment to learn a rich text editor ("learn once, use for everything"):
Examples: Vim, Emacs, other (TextMate, Sublime text, etc.,...)
Vim demo...
plain text + markup languages = very powerful
Examples: LaTeX, Markdown, Org
LaTeX and Beamer...
Markdown...
Create the reference and never worry about proper inserting
Bibtex demo...
The power of code Vs. point-and-click
IPython notebook demo...

pytest is a test runner and framework
for creating better tests
pytest fixtures are functions
to help you reuse test setup logic
