LITTLE WOMEN A film review by Jeffrey Graebner Copyright 1994 Jeffrey Graebner
At their best, family-oriented stories should have the same depth and intelligence of those that are intended primarily for adults. The makers of the latest film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's LITTLE WOMEN recognized the intelligence in the story and have created a very literate and mature film. The film is full of wonderful characters and situations that should appeal to everyone whether young or old, male or female.
The film lovingly presents a few years in the lives of the March family, led by Marmie (Susan Sarandon) the poor but loving mother of four daughters. Most of the film centers around Jo (Winona Ryder), the strong-willed daughter who hopes to one day become a writer. The other daughters are romantic Meg (Trini Alvarado), quietly contented Beth (Claire Danes), and artistic Amy (played early in the film by Kirstin Dunst and later portrayed by Samantha Mathis). The film also introduces us to three key men in the lives of the March family: Thomas "Laurie" Lawrence (Christian Bale), the boy next door who becomes the sister's closest outside friend; Laurie's tutor (Eric Stoltz) who captures Meg's heart; and finally a German professor (Gabriel Byrne) who meets Jo in New York and encourages her to write from her heart.
It is initially tempting to say that LITTLE WOMEN does not have much of a story, but that really isn't accurate. The story here simply follows the lives of a group of believable and realistic characters. The film never seems overplotted or allows the story to overwhelm the characterizations. By the end of the film, the characters all seem like very real people and we have seen an interesting portion of their lives.
I have never read Alcott's original novel so I don't know how much she balanced the time given to each of the sisters. For this adaptation, screenwriter Robin Swicord and director Gillian Armstrong selected to focus the majority of their attention on Jo. This turns out to be a wise decision, providing the film with a strong central focus by allowing the audience to see the other characters mainly through her eyes. Occasional voice-over narration is used to strengthen the feeling that Jo is telling us the story.
This focus on Jo places a lot of importance on Winona Ryder's performance. Ryder gives an Oscar-worthy performance, which is a large part of the reason why the film works so well. Over the last several years, Ryder has established herself as one of the most distinguished actors of her generation. She has been courageous with her selection of roles and she is just as good in period roles such as this as she is in more contemporary films. Ryder brings a great deal of strength, intelligence and determination to her performance as Jo. Her Jo is something of a tomboy, but also has a definite feminine side that she doesn't hesitate to show when appropriate.
One of Ryder's greatest strenghts as an actress is her very expressive face that allows her to often convey much more then just the simple, literal meaning of her dialog. This is a skill that is put to good use a number of times in this film. There is one scene in particular late in the film where her facial expression adds a bunch of additional meaning to a very simple one-line answer to a question. This generated a strongly positive reaction from the audience at the screening I attended.
Ryder's performance as Jo provides an interesting contrast to her Oscar-nominated performance in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. Both films take place in similar periods and concentrate quite a bit on societal roles (particularly for women). In the earlier film, Ryder's character seemed outwardly innocent and naive as she went along with the rules of society while subtlely showing that she was aware of, and even controlling, everything that was going on. As Jo, she is much more vocal about her feelings as she frequently and consciously goes against society's expectations. Comparing these two exceptional performances strongly illustrates Ryder's impressive range.
While Ryder tends to dominate the film, several of the other actors are also able to make strong impressions. As the one sister who is most torn between the traditions of society and the desire for a more liberated life, Trini Alvarado's Meg shows some interesting inner conflicts. In her own way, she bucks tradition just like her sisters. Claire Danes (who is so good on the vastly underappreciated TV series "My So-Called Life") gives the film's most subtle performance. Beth's ambitions in life are less grand than those of her sisters, but she is able to quietly find her own form of happiness. When her life starts to take a tragic turn of direction late in the film, Danes is given some interesting opportunities to shine.
Amy ends up being the film's weakest character. In the first part of the film, she is very well-played by Kirstin Dunst (the young vampire in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE) who brings a lot of spunk and sparkle to the role. About two-thirds of the way through the film, there is a four-year jump forward in time and Samantha Mathis takes over the role. At this point, the four sisters go their separate ways and the film (wisely) continues to concentrate primarily on Jo. Unfortunately, this leaves Mathis with very little time to make much of an impression. There really isn't anything seriously wrong with Mathis' performance, but it is jarring to have the sudden shift in actors (particularly since Dunst's performance is a hard act to follow) and the movie never fully overcomes this.
Susan Sarandon does not have a lot of screen time as Marmie, but she gives her usual skilled performance. Her character is unusually liberated for her time, but she never seems anachronistic. It is clear that she is very *aware* of the customs of the time, but simply does not fully believe in some of them. Sarandon portrays Marmie as a stern parent who is also clearly very loving and fair. It is very easy to understand why her daughters respect her and it is also clear that the respect is mutual.
Other than the Marchs, the most visible character in the film is Laurie. Ever since his stunning debut performance in Steven Spielberg's EMPIRE OF THE SUN, Christian Bale has continued to give one strong performance after another in a variety of period films (including HENRY V, NEWSIES and SWING KIDS). Even when the films have not been very good, his performances have been just fine. Bale plays Laurie as a character who is close to all of the March sisters in a series of relationships that even he does not fully understand. He brings some impressive emotion to the scenes where he explores these relationships, although his relationship with the older Amy probably should have been a little more fully explored.
As the other key men in the lives of the March sisters, Gabriel Byrne and Eric Stoltz are not given much screen time but give decent performances (although Byrne's German accent takes a little getting used to). Even though Byrne is second billed in the film, he doesn't even appear until the last half hour and only has a few major scenes. Those scenes are pivotal to the story, though, and he and Ryder work well together.
One particularly effective aspect of Swicord's script (and I assume this comes from Alcott's novel) is the respect and admiration that it shows for the art of writing. Jo's desire to write seems exceptionally genuine and the film does take the time to show some of the sense of liberation that can come from expressing your feelings on paper. The sequence in which Jo finally is inspired to truly write from her heart is one of the best staged depictions of the *act* of writing that I have seen on film.
The cinematography and production design very effectively express the look of the period. The details seem very authentic and believable and the camerawork never gets in the way of the storytelling. Although many filmmakers tend to shoot this type of period drama in scope, the decision to shoot this one in a narrower format was a wise one. The intimate nature of the story might have been harmed by a wider format.
I truly hope that this smart and very engaging drama manages to find the audience that it deserves. I worry that people will avoid the film on the basis of it being a "children's movie" or a "woman's movie". In truth, it is simply a good, smart drama with some teriffic performances. It is one of the best films of 1994.

To Mr. Orson Hyde, of Nauvoo: Sir: -- I am in receipt of your communication
per Mr. J. Salsbury, of the 28th inst., and am certainly quite as much
surprised at your attempt to persuade me from a proper line of duty and
principle, as you possibly can be at the mode and manner I have adopted to
resent the injuries I have sustained, and the base ingratitude to which I was
subjected during my sojourn at Nauvoo. Have you, sir, not aided and assisted
in robbing me, and those with whom I am connected, of the powers and
privileges in the church to which I was lawfully entitled?
As regards the injured feelings of my aged mother to which you have the
baseness and audacity to refer, permit me to say, that you and the balance of
the "..." alone have been the contributor to her sufferings, and could the
gaping wounds of that widowed parent's heart but give utterance, and tell you
the origin and source of her grief, your heart, although petrified and dead to
every principle of charity and gratitude, would soften at the bleeding tale,
and exhibit to you one of the guilty authors of her troubles, and the corrupt
and damning influence which governs and characterizes your present course of
conduct in connexion with the spurious "..." Your contemplated sheet
charges me with being the cause of her grief and trouble, but you are well
aware of the falsity of such an assertion. The treacherous dishonesty and
secret combinations of you and your sycophants, and the unhallowed course of
the present assumed leaders of the Church; have been the sole and only cause;
and had you possessed the least spark of even expiring veracity, or the
nobleness of soul, and sympathy of feeling which characterizes humanity,
principle would have shuddered and justice revoked even an allusion to that
subject.
I am here as an exile driven from my home, and that, too, by the requisition
of your leaders in secret council, who deliberated upon the necessity of my
murder, and required that the sacrifice of my blood should be made as speedily
as possible. Providence aided me in my escape from the armed assassins, who
were employed by their leader or President Brigham Young. These statements you
will, no doubt, deny; but they are no less true.
The arrow of revenge is sharp, and when wielded by the strong arm of a Saint,
will not fall powerless and harmless, at your feet. None have reason to fear
but the guilty wretch who shrinks from the presence of an honest community,
and seeks refuge beyond the power of the law and the order of civilization.
You are well advised of the fact, that I have been wronged and robbed by my
pretended friends, among whom I rank your saintly self, and that, too, in an
hour when I had but little reason to anticipate danger.  Oh, no,
on the contrary, efforts and influences were used for the consummation of the
outrage which was contemplated against me, by the diplomatical representative
of his satantic majesty.
You, in the most barefaced and hypocritical manner invite me to return to
Nauvoo. Upon what principle, or based upon what assumption, I am at a loss to
conjecture, except that your wicked Twelve feel too keenly the sting
occasioned by my safe retreat, and that you yet seek the destruction of one
who opposes, in spirit and in truth, the principles and doctrines which are
practised and preached in that city, and sink of iniquity.  And, sir, were you aware of the injuries
and wrongs which your so very kind hearted brethren have committed, and their
secret plottings to rob you of every thing calculated to sweeten life or
render existence desireable, no atonement could heal the wounds inflicted upon
your feelings. You would not hold your peace day or night, nor give rest to
your body, or slumber to your eye-lids, until the iniquitous character and
conduct of your present associates were proclaimed upon the housetops. But,
doubtless, some things for the present must remain a mystery to you, until by
traversing the cheerless wilderness of the west, you awaken as from a reverie.
Then, too, will you find yourself shorn of all power and authority, and
perhaps call to recollection the facts which I have stated in this letter.
Again, I say they have sought with avidity to destroy the temple of virtue,
and sanctity of your happiness. Can you, therefore, after these startling
developments and facts, continue to aid and encourage those robbers of your
domestic happiness, and sworn enemies of your prosperity and welfare? I may,
before I leave this subject, be allowed to intimate to you that Willard
Richards, as well as your assumed President, B. Young, are any thing but
friends of yours, and time will satisfy you fully of the truth of this remark,
as well as of many that, for the present, are forbidden.
I am fully prepared to establish each and every assertion I am now making, and
bid defiance to contradiction, although it is but reasonable to expect that
you[r] co-demons in Nauvoo, will attempt a reply and denial of these
statements. But by whom do the chosen heads of the Church consist?  -- With any honest
man from Nauvoo, who will meet me in this city; I am quite ready and willing
to test the strength of my cause, or of my veracity in the pulpit, or to
submit to the deliberations of a jury of my fellow citizens.
I have not the least cause to regret the course I am now pursuing. It is for
the cause of virtue, and the result of calm reflection, influenced by a heart
struggling for life and liberty, and revolting against the murder, stratagem
and treason so carefully matured and rocked in that cradle of crime, Nauvoo.
If you think that I am so lost, to every principle of honor that I would
surrender one particle of the right which you know legally belongs to me, you
are egregiously in error. I have a spirit which will breathe upon your
organized band of assassins, murders and robbers, a lava which will soon
extinguish the flame of ingratitude now burning against me. This is the first
eruption, and be careful that the volcano of truth does not open with terrible
effect upon your guilty heads; can it be possible that any person possessing
the ordinary capacity of a liberal being can imagine for one moment, that B.
Young., or any of the Twelve who are rebels to the original principles and
practices of Mormonism, are in possession of the keys of any kingdom, except
those of the blackest regions of darkness.
You remark that you know what my influence is in the Eastern States, and what
I have written. This does not in the slightest degree surprise me, and for
your information, I will say, that I am perfectly well aware of the secret
manner in which you, Brigham Young, Parley P. Pratt, and the rest of the
Twelve, and many others of my (brethren and) pretended friends, have for some
months labored to weaken and destroy the confidence reposed in me by my
brethren at the East. The bite of the adder is poisonous, and it seeks its
prey upon the highway; just so have you and your hypocritical brethren
endeavored to ensnare me into difficulty and crime; but I prefer being the
bitten stranger and injured victim, rather than to dwell (in a den of snakes)
among a set of people who are daily outraging every principle of morality, and
that, too under the most solemn pretended authority from God. I desire no
honors from such a band of pharisees and robbers, as I know many of these
apostolic scoundrels are. Time will fully establish the truth of every charge
I make against them. I am now prepared openly and boldly, to expose every
secret evil which is practised by Brigham Young and his brother leaders at
Nauvoo, and elsewhere.  As a specimen of the
moral degradation existing among you, I will mention Parley P. Pratt as a fit
subject to introduce. You are well aware that this unassuming and righteous
apostle came from the East, a few days since, in company with a female whose
appearance and conduct bear sufficient evidence of his utter disregard of
virtue or religion. This is not the only crime he is guilty of. His iniquitous
conduct is well known in the East and speaks for itself. It is needless for me
to enlighten you further upon the character of B. Young, John Taylor, W.
Richards, and many others who are continually preaching the doctrine, and
openly practising adultery; for this you know too well. Let these dreadful
monsters dare to go to the Eastern States, and I think it would not be long
before they would find out that in some instances "..."
You speak of the Keys going with the body of the Church. This I deny. You know
such a statement is false; for the law of God teaches no such thing. On the
contrary, you know that the Keys control and govern the church in every matter
connected with its ecclesiastical government. Where I would ask were the Keys,
the power and blessing of the holy Priesthood, when the multitude of Israel
followed and worshipped the golden Calf. It requires no vision to inform you
that the Keys were in possession of the few, while the multitude followed
their apostate leaders, among whom Aaron was most conspicuous. What was the
result? Did they not have to drink the bitterness of their own folly. Yes,
sir, and ere long the followers of the present despot, B. Young will have to
drink a similar draught. -- Scripture and reason teach us that those who are
led by wicked rulers must necessarily be astray, and powerless as those who
govern and direct then; for wicked rulers have neither Priesthood nor power.
My Priesthood was conferred upon me by a higher power than the iniquitous
Twelve. It was conferred by a just God who never errs and who cannot look upon
sin with the slightest degree of allowance of palliation. You remark, if I
have not the influence of the Church I must not indulge the thought of having
the Keys of the Priesthood. Where and in what condition was the Church when my
brother Joseph received his Priesthood? You will certainly grant that it was
conferred upon him by some means, (other than the Church.) You will no doubt
say that I was ordained. So I was; but not by either the church or the Twelve;
for before they were, "..." Admitting, for the sake of argument, that they
ever ordained me it amounts then to a ceremony only, and by no means
conferring any right or power to which I was entitled. For this, I inherit by
lineage, according to the tenets of the original church of Latter Day Saints.
My brother Joseph was also baptised and ordained by Oliver Cowdery. -- Now,
sir, you might as well claim, that this man was, or is now the head of the
Church and the author of Joseph Smith's Priesthood, as to claim that the
Church or the Twelve are the origin or authors of mine; and what the Church
did not give she cannot take away. I received what I possess, not from the
church, but from the Great Author of the Universe, through my brother Joseph
and father, by ordination and lawful inheritance.
I care not for your boasted pretensions to rule, and authority in the church,
for I am independent of any such band of lying hypocrites, as I know the
present rulers to be. They are apostates in every sense of the word from the
true church of Christ and it does not require the aid of revelation to
establish the truth of this statement, (although upon this subject there is an
abundance).
Your invitation to return to the quorum of the twelve, I treat with that calm
and dignified scorn which such barefaced hypocrisy justly merits. No sir, I
return no more to such a den of thieves and quorum of iniquity. I am fixed in
my course and firm as the Rock of Gibraltar; and I protest against your
proceedings and conduct. I know there are many friends now in Nauvoo who are
afraid to express their opinion, but it will not always be so. As regards the
course I am taking, make yourselves as contented as possible, for I do not
apprehend any alarm as to my success, for I think my chances are quite as
encouraging as yours possibly can be, in the event of your departure to the
wild and cheerless far-west. Your tyrant usurpers will there be shielded from
civilized law, and ere long you will be made to feel the lash of their power.
My life and exertions will be (in order to perpetrate the names of my father's
family and with honor to the noble martyred brothers Joseph and Hiram wipe
away the disgrace, the stain, the evils that, since their deaths, have crept
into the church. And by too frequent use of their names, the twelve are
carrying out the most wicked, base and unhallowed purposes that could be
devised under the cloak of Joseph and Hiram's names. Brethren! be assured that
Joseph or Hiram never would have sanctioned the present wicked plans of the
twelve; their corruption, their sink of iniquity, their removal to the
wilderness, their doctrine of polygamy, usurpation, etc.) exercise for the
redemption of the church to its original purity, and the rights of my father's
and brother's family. I am by no means discouraged, but that I will finally
succeed, I have no doubt. -- I am willing by the help of God to try it, at
least for six years to come.
You say that I sent a bundle of pamphlets to the editor of the Signal at
Warsaw. This is a falsehood. If any was sent to that gentleman, I was not
aware of it. -- But I understand what you mean by this. It is done for affect,
as a great many other things are done at Nauvoo for the same purpose, such as
fasting and prayer, a proclamation, or an avowal of friendship before the
public, but in secret council sworn and inveterate enemies. Oh shame, where is
thy blush!
The best evidence we have of a man's friendship is in his works and not in his
professions.  But I am well satisfied that your rascally twelve
can find some scoundrels, enough to condemn and swear away the life of any one
upon whom they wish to be revenged.
I will conclude by earnestly hoping that you will come as a humble penitent,
seeking forgiveness, that you may find mercy while it is called to-day. Flee,
I say, flee the wrath to come, and wash your hands of all iniquity, and give
your aid to the re-building of the pure and original principles of the
religion and kingdom of Jesus Christ, as taught by my brothers Joseph and
Hiram.
Your well wisher and friend; in all good works. WM. SMITH.
Patriarch of the Church.

植物保护的全球策略 Supporting tagline
植物保护的全球战略Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC)是联合国的(UN)生物多样性保护公约计划(Convention on Biological Diversity)项目。GSPC项目希望到2010年能够降低世界植物的绝灭速率。 GSPC在1999年的圣路易斯国际植物学大会(16th International Botanical Congress in St. Louis)的讨论上还只是界定为一个民间性的活动。 后来一些专家在Gran Canaria 进行了进一步的讨论，发布了南美宣言，要求发起全球植物保护战略行动. 经过广泛的会谈，GPSC的提议被2002年的生物多样性保护公约采纳。GSPC的核心内容被凝炼为五个目的，并以14个目标的形式来实现。
GSPC的16目标是:
目标 1: 建立一个可以广泛利用的世界植物物种的名录，作为将来世界植物志的基础
目标 2: 对已知植物物种在国家、地区和国家间水平上进行保护状态(conservation status)的初步评估
目标 3: 在研究和实践经验的基础上建立植物保护和可持续利用的协议和模式
目标 4: 世界生态区(ecological regions)的至少10% 被有效保护
目标 5: 植物多样性最重要地区的50% 得到保护
目标 6: At least 30% of production lands managed consistent with the conservation of plant diversity
目标 7: 60% 的世界珍惜濒危物种进行原位保护conserved in situ
目标 8: 60% of threatened plant species in assessable ex situ collections, preferably in the country of origin, and 10 per cent of them included in recovery and restoration programmes
Target 9: 70% of the genetic diversity of crops and other major socio-economically valuable plant species conserved, and associated indigenous and local knowledge maintained
Target 10: Management plans in place for at least 100 major alien species that threaten plants, plant communities and associated habitats and ecosystems

UP AT THE VILLA RATING: 5 /10 --> Not a good movie
For more reviews and movie trailers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
You know how every now and then, a film comes out that just blows the roof of the entire movie industry? I'm talking a film that not only challenges your mind, but one that completely sweeps you into a world that you'd never even thought about before? Sparks of originality, chemistry all around! Sure you do, and so do I, which is why I could say in full confidence that this film is anything but that kind of a movie.
PLOT: A rich, snooty woman living the "good life" in Florence, Italy, during the late 1930s, suddenly finds herself caught up in a messy love triangle involving a wealthy, older gentleman, a younger, more abrasive American, and an Austrian refugee. When a murder takes place, the politics of the day take over, and the film switches its romance gears into those featuring intrigue.
CRITIQUE: This film is full of pretty pictures, nice decorations and beautiful scenery, but lacks any palpable romance, tension or chemistry. It's just sort of "there". It's a film which never really bored me at any point, it was like being a voyeur at a rich guy's party, but never really managed to get me excited about anything either. Sean Penn, who has always been one of favorite actors, despite continually bashing the craft that consistently feeds him, is actually pretty so-so in this film, underplaying the part and appearing strangely out of place. Of course, Kirsten Scott Thomas invented these movies, so she certainly fit her role like a glove, but unfortunately her character, who is the lead in the film, doesn't really provide the audience with any tangible reasons to like her. I mean, she's obviously very pretty but am I supposed to feel for a lady that dicks around with every Tom, Dick and Arnold, while making decisions on her life based primarily around finances? Sure, the film offers some insight as to the deep-rooted misappropriations of values which these people apparently subscribed to at the time, but I could only invest so much of myself into folks with whom I obviously have zero in common (besides the fact that every guy seemed to want to dick Kirsten Scott Thomas). The romance level is also pretty thin in this film, with only a tiny shred of it showing up between Penn and Thomas, a little more in Thomas' relationship with Davies, but generally non-existent.
Of course, the film turns into more of a "political" game during its second half, but none of that really interested me much either.  And when is Jeremy Davies finally going to play a character different from every single one that he portrays in all of his other movies? Dude, it's pretty obvious that you could play the "shy, nervous, twitchy guy", but how about taking a shot at a role with a little more range? The ending of the movie is also pretty weak and foreseeable, with much of what goes on, predictable and tidy. Having said all that, I did enjoy looking at this film, the scenery, the actors and the wonderful city of Florence, which were all quite spectacular. I also loved Anne Bancroft's performance, which let her chew up and spit out most of the scenery around her. Great job, Mrs. Brooks! As well as Derek Jacobi's comical turn as Lucky Leadbetter. And yes, Scott Thomas does deliver a decent showing, but somehow it all seems to be a little "old hat" with her. This film might ultimately entertain those content enough to sit and watch some really pretty and pretentious people prance around in lush surroundings with little more than a simple story to tell. But on the whole, the film didn't manage to entertain me enough to recommend it to any of my friends. And yes, dear reader...I consider you my friend (fluttering eyelashes) :)
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Anne Bancroft's birth name is Anna Maria Louisa Italiano (do you think she's Italian?). She was born in The Bronx, New York in 1931, and has been married to writer/actor/director Mel Brooks since 1964. Kirsten Scott Thomas' younger sister Serena Scott Thomas, had a role in the latest James Bond flick, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (7/10), in which she played Dr. Molly Warmflash. Director Philip Haas also directed Kirsten in the 1995 movie ANGELS AND INSECTS. Jeremy Davies' birth name was Jeremy Boring. Actor Derek Jacobi was the mentor and acting instructor of fellow British actor Kenneth Branagh. He also won a Tony in 1985 for "Much Ado About Nothing", a play which friend Branagh turned into a movie in 1993. Also, Mr. Jacobi was apparently one of the few runners-up for the part of Hannibal Lecter in the original SILENCE OF THE LAMBS movie. Of course, that part eventually went to fellow Brit Anthony Hopkins. Director Philip Haas and screenwriter Belinda Haas are indeed husband and wife.

Mt. Stromlo Observatory, Australian National University | 7:00 - 8:00 PM, Saturday, 16 December 2017
Whether or not we are alone in the universe is one of the oldest questions of existence. For several decades astronomers have been sweeping the skies with radio telescopes hoping to stumble across a message from ET. So far they have been met by an eerie silence. Recent discoveries of many extra-solar planets has raised the hopes that the universe may be teeming with life, but as nobody knows how non-life can turn into life it is impossible to estimate the odds that another civilization exists out there. In my lecture I shall suggest new ways to search for cosmic company.
Paul Davies is a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist and best-selling science author. He is Regents’ Professor at Arizona State University, where he is Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science and co-Director of the Cosmology Initiative. He previously held academic appointments in physics, mathematics and astronomy in the UK and Australia. He is also a Fellow of University College London, a Visiting Professor of Bioengineering at Imperial College London and a Visiting Professor of Physics at the University of New South Wales. He has published about 30 books and hundreds of research papers and review articles across a range of scientific fields. His research interests have focused mainly on quantum gravity, early universe cosmology, the theory of quantum black holes and the nature of time. He has also made important contributions to the field of astrobiology, and was an early advocate of the theory that life on Earth may have originated on Mars. For several years he has also been running a major cancer research project, and developed a new theory of cancer based on tracing its deep evolutionary origins. Among his many awards are the 1995 Templeton Prize, the Faraday Prize from The Royal Society, the Kelvin Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics, the Robinson Cosmology Prize and the Bicentenary Medal of Chile. He was made a member of the Order of Australia in the 2007 Queen's birthday honours list and the asteroid 6870 Pauldavies is named after him. His more recent books include About Time, The Origin of Life, The Goldilocks Enigma: Why Is the Universe Just Right for Life?, How to Build a Time Machine and The Eerie Silence: Are We Alone in the Universe?
Coombs Lecture Theatre, Australian National University | 7:30 - 9:30 PM, Monday, 18 December 2017
Is our planet special in any way, or are Earth-like planets common in the universe? Is life on Earth special in any way, or should we expect life elsewhere to resemble life on Earth? Recent observations from the Kepler satellite and the world’s largest telescopes have made significant progress in answering the question: How common are planets like the Earth? But looking for extraterrestrial life is much harder. Astronomers haven’t found life elsewhere and astrobiologist struggle with the idea of what life is, and what kind of life we should expect elsewhere. Six world experts will address both of these questions and present the latest results from the frontiers of astrobiology and planetary science.

A problem of advancement
As I have delved deeper and deeper into HTML5 and CSS3, it has been difficult to find responsive, well constructed, semantic examples of the two languages. The CSS Zen Garden was a website ahead of its time, which is now past its prime. We need new examples that take into account advancements in time, design, and general web-thought.
The original Zen Garden was created at a time when webdesign was polluted with generic divs left and right. In a time of backlash against HTML table layouts, the

was a breath of fresh air that gave the internet its first glimpse into the possibilities of fluid, liquid, and modular layouts. Designers flocked to it, and so the web became a graveyard of unremarkable div elements as part of remarkable designs.
The fact that the div had little to no default formatting, made it the perfect subject for designers, along with the fact that there were no other major candidates for layout items of a webpage's structure. But HTML5 has changed all of that. With new tags like

, and

US envoy decries Chinese 'intimidation' in South China Sea
Trump's national security adviser accuses Beijing of blocking ASEAN's access to $2.5 trillion of oil and gas reserve.
A US envoy has denounced Chinese "intimidation" in the South China Sea at a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders, as he conveyed an invitation from President Donald Trump for the leaders to attend a special summit in the United States.
China has made sweeping maritime claims in the resource-rich waters of the South China Sea and angered neighbours by sending ships into the busy waterway, where several members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) also have claims.
"Beijing has used intimidation to try to stop ASEAN nations from exploiting the off-shore resources, blocking access to 2.5 trillion dollars of oil and gas reserve alone," US envoy Robert O'Brien told on Monday the ASEAN-US summit in a speech in Bangkok, Thailand.
O'Brien, the White House national security adviser, read a message from Trump inviting the ASEAN leaders to "join me in the United States for a special summit" in the first quarter of 2020.
More:
ASEAN has been struggling over how to address tensions over China's encroachment into the disputed waters of the South China Sea.
Grappling with China
Vietnam wanted ASEAN leaders to issue a communique that would mention Chinese movements into waters where Vietnam has exclusive rights to exploit energy resources and other recent, aggressive acts off the Philippines and Malaysia.
China, through its ASEAN ally Cambodia, has opposed any such move, two Southeast Asian diplomats told AP news agency.
After weeks of wrangling, senior diplomats reached a compromise on expressing concern over "serious incidents in the area, which have eroded trust and confidence, increased tensions and may undermine peace, security and stability in the region," one of the diplomats said.
The phrase would not name China or mention other details, the diplomat said.
China and its ASEAN allies have steadfastly refused attempts at the annual summits to rebuke Beijing for its actions, which include building seven islands on disputed reefs that US officials say could serve as military platforms to intimidate rival claimants.
China claims virtually the entire South China Sea, a vital waterway for global commerce.
It opposes naval and aerial patrols by the US and its allies as American interference in an Asian problem. Beijing also regards the US concept of a free and open Indo-Pacific region as a strategy to contain China.
Much of Asia looks to the US to help counter China's growing reach and power.
Trump's absence, however, is a disappointment to some in the region and may undermine the US assertion that it puts a high priority on trade and other ties with the region.
But US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross insisted that his country remains "extremely engaged" with Asia, adding that "we continue to negotiate trade deals with countries in this region."
ASEAN members include Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

Eminem Imitated Chris D’Elia’s Em Impression When They Hung Out
by Tony M. CentenoComedian Chris D'Elia turned plenty of heads when he delivered awesome Eminem impressions in a series of videos last year.
In a video he posted to his YouTube channel on Nov. 14, D'Elia reveals that he recently met Eminem after delivering a couple of hilarious impressions of the Detroit rapper. The comedian explains that he was in Detriot to do a comedy show when he got the call from his agent to come and meet "The Real Slim Shady" rapper.
"So we get there and we show up and Eminem is just sitting there like 'C'mon in! C'mon in!' We walk into the room and Em is sitting there," D'Elia discloses.  He's doing my impression to me of him.'"
As previously noted, D'Elia went viral last year after his videos of him impersonating spread the internet. Eventually, Eminem himself watched the videos and was actually entertained by D'Elia's precise impression. Em was so impressed by D'Elia that he and Logic featured his vocals at the end of their recent collaboration "Homicide."
"He was like, 'You killed that impression, man. It was so funny... And the one in the garage when you're out of breath.
D'Elia hung out with Em for about two hours in the studio and got to know him on a more personal level. Watch the comedian tell the entire story below.
See 18 of the Funniest Hip-Hop Moments on 'South Park'
The Notorious B.I.G.
In the episode "Hell on Earth 2006," The Notorious B.I.G. appears on numerous occasions after being summoned, by name,three times in a mirror. He's pretty violent in this one.
Butt Out! Beatboxing and Breakdancing
Anti-smoking group Butt-Out! visits South Park Elementary, incorporating breakdancing and beatboxing routines throughout their presentation. Because of this, the boys began smoking, burning the school to the ground in their midst.
Iggy Azalea
In "#REHASH," Iggy Azalea gets into a scuffle backstage with Randy Marsh's stage persona, Lorde. She also performs with Michael Jackson, which is not shown here.
Kanye West
In the now-infamous "Fishsticks" episode, Kanye West is the only one who doesn't understand "the funniest joke ever conceived," and feels the world is attacking his ego instead.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj plays a spectator while Iggy Azalea fights Lorde in the "#REHASH." The three of them, along with Miley Cyrus, are prepping for the Women of Rock concert.
Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg is a close friend of Will Smith in episode "Here Comes the Neighborhood." While on the phone with him, Snoop's voice is entirely different from the West Coast accent we've heard throughout the years as he's persuaded to move to South Park.
Tupac Shakur Hologram
In "#HappyHolograms," Tupac Shakur appears as a hologram, this time, continuing to chase Michael Jackson throughout the episode.
Will Smith
After seeing a listing in Forbes Will Smith packs his bag and relocates to South Park. Jada Pinkett Smith and their children, Trey, Willow, and rapper Jaden, also make their cartoon debut during the "Here Comes the Neighborhood episode.
Master P and Lil Romeo
In "Christian Rock Hard," Master P's son, Lil Romeo, cannot get the French island he wants in Polynesia due to the South Park boys downloading P's music illegally.
You Got Served Parody
2004 's "You Got F'd in the A" is an episode parodying hip-hop dance flick You Got Served, which released the same year. South Park, however, did it for Lil Sheep.
CeeLo Green
Football is replaced with sarcastaball in this episode, because this is South Park we're talking about. The episode of the same name finds CeeLo Green singing "I Love Sarcastaball" during a national game.
Diddy
Diddy's appearance in "Douche and Turd" has become one of the most memorable moments in the show's history. His visit to South Park frightens Stan as Diddy stalks him while singing "Vote or Die!" and threatening to murder him if he doesn't.
 The project is based off of the episode "Chef Aid," where multiple artists hold a concert to keep Chef—voiced by Isaac Hayes—from going to prison. Master P and Chef were also featured in both the song and music video for "Kenny's Dead."
Kanye West
South Park loves Yeezy. At one point during the episode "The Hobbit," Kanye West shows up and interrupts Pope Francis' award speech to dispel rumors about his wife, Kim Kardashian, actually being a hobbit.
Missy Elliott
In Season 7's "Cancelled" episode, the boys meet Najix, who transform into both famous and infamous figures to appear less frightening. His rendition of Missy Elliott's "Work It" is hilarious.
Tupac Shakur Hologram
Tupac Shakur gets more love on South Park in another episode. He's one of many celebrities to appear in "#REHASH." Syntech Hologram Company activates his hologram in this one to go after the holographic Michael Jackson. He also sleeps with Randy Marsh's wife.
Logic Parody
In the "Put It Down" episode, Cartman believes the students at his school aren't taking suicide serious. This prompts him to recreate his own version of Logic's hit song "1-800-273-8255" and make them believe he wants to kill himself.
In the South Park 21st season premiere titled "White People Renovating Houses," Jim Bob sings a country version of Kendrick Lamar's "Humble," to Cartman's dismay.


The plan for an amazing building covered in trees and green plants in the centre of Swansea
The 'living' building could change the look of the city centre
by Richard YouleGreenhouses in the sky and ground floor fish tanks are planned as part of an eye-catching building in Swansea city centre.
Providing flats, shops, offices, educational spaces and a courtyard, the development would stretch from Oxford Street at the front to Picton Lane at the rear.
It would comprise of the former Woolworths building joined to a new 12-storey tower, and feature rooftop solar panels, battery storage, gardens and living walls and roofs.
What also sets its design apart is an urban farm-style greenhouse set over four floors.
Plants and vegetables in the south-facing greenhouse would be grown in water and nourished by waste pumped up from fish tanks at the bottom of the building.
The waste water would then be filtered and channelled back to the fish tanks.
The idea is that a community organisation would use the large greenhouse, while residents could grow produce at two single-storey greenhouses lower down the building.
The plans for the living - or biophilic - structure have been put forward by Swansea-based Hacer Developments, which owns the former Woolworths building.
David Dolman, the company's development manager, said: "We need to rethink how we live and work in the urban environment.
"We are trying to explore new ways of bringing nature in, and encourage a sense of community."
The company is seeking financial backing from the Welsh Government and has been working with Swansea University, Swansea Community Farm and Swansea Council.
The planned 44 flats in the new tower would be sold to a social housing provider, but it is too early to say how much the development would cost.
The building's ethos fits with a new green infrastructure strategy for the city, developed by Swansea Council and Natural Resources Wales, which aims to create more green spaces.
Hacer Developments intends to submit a planning application to the council next month. It could start the two-year project in the spring if it gains the necessary consents.
The planned courtyard at the rear - to be called Picton Yard - would host events such as pop-up markets, cinema screenings and concerts, with four vast umbrellas providing cover.
The scheme has been assessed by Design Commission for Wales, which backed the ambition but queried where the community interest for the urban farm concept would come from. The commission also said full visual testing of the building's scale was needed.
A planning statement on behalf of Hacer Developments insisted the scheme would be compatible with the surrounding cityscape and would "not materially impact on neighbouring residents".
Meanwhile, the council is leading separate plans to build a large office development a stone's throw away between Picton Lane and The Kingsway, where the Oceana nightclub used to be.
This council-led scheme would also link to Oxford Street via a new opening which has been created opposite Plymouth Street.
Swansea Council leader Robert Stewart likened Hacer Developments' biophilic building to a living laboratory and said the scheme was big statement for city centre biodiversity.
"It is a really interesting concept," he added.


TUTORIAL: Use Bus/Vector notation for signal bundles / arrays of instances
XSCHEM has the ability to use a compact notation to represent signal bundles. There is no specific 'bus' entity, in XSCHEM a bus is simply a wire with a label representing a bundle of bits, the syntax is explained below. Normally a net label assigns a name to a wire, for example 'ENABLE', 'RESET', 'CLK' and so on, however more complex formats are available to describe multiple bits.
- AAA,BBB,CCC: described a bundle of 3 signals, AAA, BBB, CCC.
- AAA[3:0]: describes the set AAA[3],AAA[2],AAA[1],AAA[0]. The form AAA[3:0] and AAA[3],AAA[2],AAA[1],AAA[0] are exactly equivalent.
- AAA[1:0],BBB[5:4]: describes the bundle: AAA[1],AAA[0],BBB[5],BBB[4].
- AAA[6:0:2]: describes the bundle AAA[6],AAA[4],AAA[2],AAA[0].
- 2*AAA[1:0]: describes the bundle AAA[1],AAA[0],AAA[1],AAA[0].
- AAA[1:0]*2: describes the bundle AAA[1],AAA[1],AAA[0],AAA[0].
- 2*(AAA[1:0],BBB): describes the bundle AAA[1],AAA[0],BBB,AAA[1],AAA[0],BBB.
- (AAA[1:0],BBB)*2: describes the bundle AAA[1],AAA[1],AAA[0],AAA[0],BBB,BBB.
All the above notations are perfectly valid label net name attributes.
In a very similar way multiple instances can be placed in a schematic setting the 'name' attribute to a vector notation.
For example in picture below x22[15:0] represents 16 inverters with names x22[15],x22[14],...,x22[0].
Recently a new notation has been added for buses that expands without putting brackets:
- AAA[3..0]: describes the set AAA3,AAA2,AAA1,AAA0. The form AAA[3..0] and AAA3,AAA2,AAA1,AAA0 are exactly equivalent.
- AAA[1..0],BBB[5..4]: describes the bundle: AAA1,AAA0,BBB5,BBB4.
- AAA[6..0..2]: describes the bundle AAA6,AAA4,AAA2,AAA0.
- 2*AAA[1..0]: describes the bundle AAA1,AAA0,AAA1,AAA0.
- AAA[1..0]*2: describes the bundle AAA1,AAA1,AAA0,AAA0.
- 2*(AAA[1..0],BBB): describes the bundle AAA1,AAA0,BBB,AAA1,AAA0,BBB.
- (AAA[1..0],BBB)*2: describes the bundle AAA1,AAA1,AAA0,AAA0,BBB,BBB.
In following picture there is a main 72 bit bus (the vertical thick wire) and bus ripper symbols (devices/bus_connect_nolab.sym) are used to take slices of bits from the main bus. Wire labels are used to define bus slices. To display thick wires for busses, select all wire segments, then press 'q' and add attribute bus=true.
following picture shows an istantiation of 6 inverters:
The generated spice netlist is the following:
... xinv5 BB0 AA5 bf xinv4 BB1 AA4 bf xinv3 BB2 AA3 bf xinv2 BB3 AA2 bf xinv1 BB4 AA1 bf xinv0 BB5 AA0 bf ...
Example of a more complex bus routing. main bus is a bundle of 2 buses: DATA_A[0..15] and DATA_B[0..15]

A year after Louis XVIII.’s restoration, a visit was made by the inspector–general of prisons. Dantes in his cell heard the noise of preparation,—sounds that at the depth where he lay would have been inaudible to any but the ear of a prisoner, who could hear the splash of the drop of water that every hour fell from the roof of his dungeon. He guessed something uncommon was passing among the living; but he had so long ceased to have any intercourse with the world, that he looked upon himself as dead.
The inspector visited, one after another, the cells and dungeons of several of the prisoners, whose good behavior or stupidity recommended them to the clemency of the government. He inquired how they were fed, and if they had any request to make. The universal response was, that the fare was detestable, and that they wanted to be set free.
The inspector asked if they had anything else to ask for. They shook their heads. What could they desire beyond their liberty? The inspector turned smilingly to the governor.
“I do not know what reason government can assign for these useless visits; when you see one prisoner, you see all,—always the same thing,—ill fed and innocent. Are there any others?”
“Yes; the dangerous and mad prisoners are in the dungeons.”
“Let us visit them,” said the inspector with an air of fatigue. “We must play the farce to the end. Let us see the dungeons.”
“Let us first send for two soldiers,” said the governor.
Two soldiers were accordingly sent for, and the inspector descended a stairway, so foul, so humid, so dark, as to be loathsome to sight, smell, and respiration.
“Oh,” cried the inspector, “who can live here?”
“A most dangerous conspirator, a man we are ordered to keep the most strict watch over, as he is daring and resolute.”
“He is alone?”
“Certainly.”
“How long his he been there?”
“Nearly a year.”
“Was he placed here when he first arrived?”
“No; not until he attempted to kill the turnkey, who took his food to him.”
“To kill the turnkey?”
“Yes, the very one who is lighting us. Is it not true, Antoine?” asked the governor.
“True enough; he wanted to kill me!” returned the turnkey.
“He must be mad,” said the inspector.
“He is worse than that,—he is a devil!” returned the turnkey.
“Shall I complain of him?” demanded the inspector.
 Besides, he is almost mad now, and in another year he will be quite so.”
“So much the better for him,—he will suffer less,” said the inspector.
“You are right, sir,” replied the governor; “and this remark proves that you have deeply considered the subject. Now we have in a dungeon about twenty feet distant, and to which you descend by another stair, an abbe, formerly leader of a party in Italy, who has been here since 1811, and in 1813 he went mad, and the change is astonishing. He used to weep, he now laughs; he grew thin, he now grows fat. You had better see him, for his madness is amusing.”
“I will see them both,” returned the inspector; “I must conscientiously perform my duty.” This was the inspector’s first visit; he wished to display his authority.
“Let us visit this one first,” added he.
“By all means,” replied the governor, and he signed to the turnkey to open the door. At the sound of the key turning in the lock, and the creaking of the hinges, Dantes, who was crouched in a corner of the dungeon, whence he could see the ray of light that came through a narrow iron grating above, raised his head. Seeing a stranger, escorted by two turnkeys holding torches and accompanied by two soldiers, and to whom the governor spoke bareheaded, Dantes, who guessed the truth, and that the moment to address himself to the superior authorities was come, sprang forward with clasped hands.
The soldiers interposed their bayonets, for they thought that he was about to attack the inspector, and the latter recoiled two or three steps. Dantes saw that he was looked upon as dangerous. Then, infusing all the humility he possessed into his eyes and voice, he addressed the inspector, and sought to inspire him with pity.
The inspector listened attentively; then, turning to the governor, observed, “He will become religious—he is already more gentle; he is afraid, and retreated before the bayonets—madmen are not afraid of anything; I made some curious observations on this at Charenton.” Then, turning to the prisoner, “What is it you want?” said he.
“I want to know what crime I have committed—to be tried; and if I am guilty, to be shot; if innocent, to be set at liberty.”
“Are you well fed?” said the inspector.
“I believe so; I don’t know; it’s of no consequence. What matters really, not only to me, but to officers of justice and the king, is that an innocent man should languish in prison, the victim of an infamous denunciation, to die here cursing his executioners.”
“You are very humble to–day,” remarked the governor; “you are not so always; the other day, for instance, when you tried to kill the turnkey.”
“It is true, sir, and I beg his pardon, for he his always been very good to me, but I was mad.”
“And you are not so any longer?”
“No; captivity has subdued me—I have been here so long.”
“So long?—when were you arrested, then?” asked the inspector.
“The 28th of February, 1815, at half–past two in the afternoon.”
“To–day is the 30th of July, 1816,—why it is but seventeen months.”
“Only seventeen months,” replied Dantes.  Seventeen months captivity to a sailor accustomed to the boundless ocean, is a worse punishment than human crime ever merited. Have pity on me, then, and ask for me, not intelligence, but a trial; not pardon, but a verdict—a trial, sir, I ask only for a trial; that, surely, cannot be denied to one who is accused!”
“We shall see,” said the inspector; then, turning to the governor, “On my word, the poor devil touches me. You must show me the proofs against him.”
“Certainly; but you will find terrible charges.”
“Monsieur,” continued Dantes, “I know it is not in your power to release me; but you can plead for me—you can have me tried—and that is all I ask. Let me know my crime, and the reason why I was condemned. Uncertainty is worse than all.”
“Go on with the lights,” said the inspector.
“Monsieur,” cried Dantes, “I can tell by your voice you are touched with pity; tell me at least to hope.”
“I cannot tell you that,” replied the inspector; “I can only promise to examine into your case.”
“Oh, I am free—then I am saved!”
“Who arrested you?”
“M. Villefort. See him, and hear what he says.”
“M. Villefort is no longer at Marseilles; he is now at Toulouse.”
“I am no longer surprised at my detention,” murmured Dantes, “since my only protector is removed.”
“Had M. de Villefort any cause of personal dislike to you?”
“None; on the contrary, he was very kind to me.”
“I can, then, rely on the notes he has left concerning you?”
“Entirely.”
“That is well; wait patiently, then.” Dantes fell on his knees, and prayed earnestly. The door closed; but this time a fresh inmate was left with Dantes—hope.
“Will you see the register at once,” asked the governor, “or proceed to the other cell?”
“Let us visit them all,” said the inspector. “If I once went up those stairs. I should never have the courage to come down again.”
“Ah, this one is not like the other, and his madness is less affecting than this one’s display of reason.”
“What is his folly?”
“He fancies he possesses an immense treasure. The first year he offered government a million of francs for his release; the second, two; the third, three; and so on progressively. He is now in his fifth year of captivity; he will ask to speak to you in private, and offer you five millions.”
“How curious!—what is his name?”
“The Abbe Faria.”
“No. 27,” said the inspector.
“It is here; unlock the door, Antoine.” The turnkey obeyed, and the inspector gazed curiously into the chamber of the “mad abbe.”
In the centre of the cell, in a circle traced with a fragment of plaster detached from the wall, sat a man whose tattered garments scarcely covered him. He was drawing in this circle geometrical lines, and seemed as much absorbed in his problem as Archimedes was when the soldier of Marcellus slew him.
He did not move at the sound of the door, and continued his calculations until the flash of the torches lighted up with an unwonted glare the sombre walls of his cell; then, raising his head, he perceived with astonishment the number of persons present. He hastily seized the coverlet of his bed, and wrapped it round him.
“What is it you want?” said the inspector.
“I, monsieur,” replied the abbe with an air of surprise—”I want nothing.”
“You do not understand,” continued the inspector; “I am sent here by government to visit the prison, and hear the requests of the prisoners.”
“Oh, that is different,” cried the abbe; “and we shall understand each other, I hope.”
“There, now,” whispered the governor, “it is just as I told you.”
“Monsieur,” continued the prisoner, “I am the Abbe Faria, born at Rome. I was for twenty years Cardinal Spada’s secretary; I was arrested, why, I know not, toward the beginning of the year 1811; since then I have demanded my liberty from the Italian and French government.”
“Why from the French government?”
“Because I was arrested at Piombino, and I presume that, like Milan and Florence, Piombino has become the capital of some French department.”
“Ah,” said the inspector, “you have not the latest news from Italy?”
“My information dates from the day on which I was arrested,” returned the Abbe Faria; “and as the emperor had created the kingdom of Rome for his infant son, I presume that he has realized the dream of Machiavelli and Caesar Borgia, which was to make Italy a united kingdom.”
“Monsieur,” returned the inspector, “providence has changed this gigantic plan you advocate so warmly.”
“It is the only means of rendering Italy strong, happy, and independent.”
“Very possibly; only I am not come to discuss politics, but to inquire if you have anything to ask or to complain of.”
“The food is the same as in other prisons,—that is, very bad; the lodging is very unhealthful, but, on the whole, passable for a dungeon; but it is not that which I wish to speak of, but a secret I have to reveal of the greatest importance.”
“We are coming to the point,” whispered the governor.
“It is for that reason I am delighted to see you,” continued the abbe, “although you have disturbed me in a most important calculation, which, if it succeeded, would possibly change Newton’s system. Could you allow me a few words in private.”
“What did I tell you?” said the governor.
“You knew him,” returned the inspector with a smile.
“What you ask is impossible, monsieur,” continued he, addressing Faria.
“But,” said the abbe, “I would speak to you of a large sum, amounting to five millions.”
“The very sum you named,” whispered the inspector in his turn.
“However,” continued Faria, seeing that the inspector was about to depart, “it is not absolutely necessary for us to be alone; the governor can be present.”
“Unfortunately,” said the governor, “I know beforehand what you are about to say; it concerns your treasures, does it not?” Faria fixed his eyes on him with an expression that would have convinced any one else of his sanity.
“Of course,” said he; “of what else should I speak?”
“Mr. Inspector,” continued the governor, “I can tell you the story as well as he, for it has been dinned in my ears for the last four or five years.”
“That proves,” returned the abbe, “that you are like those of Holy Writ, who having ears hear not, and having eyes see not.”
“My dear sir, the government is rich and does not want your treasures,” replied the inspector; “keep them until you are liberated.” The abbe’s eyes glistened; he seized the inspector’s hand.
“But what if I am not liberated,” cried he, “and am detained here until my death? this treasure will be lost. Had not government better profit by it? I will offer six millions, and I will content myself with the rest, if they will only give me my liberty.”
“On my word,” said the inspector in a low tone, “had I not been told beforehand that this man was mad, I should believe what he says.”
“I am not mad,” replied Faria, with that acuteness of hearing peculiar to prisoners. “The treasure I speak of really exists, and I offer to sign an agreement with you, in which I promise to lead you to the spot where you shall dig; and if I deceive you, bring me here again,—I ask no more.”
The governor laughed. “Is the spot far from here?”
“A hundred leagues.”
“It is not ill–planned,” said the governor. “If all the prisoners took it into their heads to travel a hundred leagues, and their guardians consented to accompany them, they would have a capital chance of escaping.”
“The scheme is well known,” said the inspector; “and the abbe’s plan has not even the merit of originality.”
Then turning to Faria—”I inquired if you are well fed?” said he.

“Nor you to mine,” cried the abbe. “You will not accept my gold; I will keep it for myself.  And the abbe, casting away his coverlet, resumed his place, and continued his calculations.
“What is he doing there?” said the inspector.
“Counting his treasures,” replied the governor.
Faria replied to this sarcasm with a glance of profound contempt. They went out. The turnkey closed the door behind them.
“He was wealthy once, perhaps?” said the inspector.
“Or dreamed he was, and awoke mad.”
“After all,” said the inspector, “if he had been rich, he would not have been here.” So the matter ended for the Abbe Faria. He remained in his cell, and this visit only increased the belief in his insanity.
Caligula or Nero, those treasure–seekers, those desirers of the impossible, would have accorded to the poor wretch, in exchange for his wealth, the liberty he so earnestly prayed for. But the kings of modern times, restrained by the limits of mere probability, have neither courage nor desire. They fear the ear that hears their orders, and the eye that scrutinizes their actions. Formerly they believed themselves sprung from Jupiter, and shielded by their birth; but nowadays they are not inviolable.
It has always been against the policy of despotic governments to suffer the victims of their persecutions to reappear. As the Inquisition rarely allowed its victims to be seen with their limbs distorted and their flesh lacerated by torture, so madness is always concealed in its cell, from whence, should it depart, it is conveyed to some gloomy hospital, where the doctor has no thought for man or mind in the mutilated being the jailer delivers to him. The very madness of the Abbe Faria, gone mad in prison, condemned him to perpetual captivity.
The inspector kept his word with Dantes; he examined the register, and found the following note concerning him:—
Edmond Dantes:
Violent Bonapartist; took an active part in the return from Elba.
The greatest watchfulness and care to be exercised.
This note was in a different hand from the rest, which showed that it had been added since his confinement. The inspector could not contend against this accusation; he simply wrote,—”Nothing to be done.”
This visit had infused new vigor into Dantes; he had, till then, forgotten the date; but now, with a fragment of plaster, he wrote the date, 30th July, 1816, and made a mark every day, in order not to lose his reckoning again. Days and weeks passed away, then months—Dantes still waited; he at first expected to be freed in a fortnight. This fortnight expired, he decided that the inspector would do nothing until his return to Paris, and that he would not reach there until his circuit was finished, he therefore fixed three months; three months passed away, then six more. Finally ten months and a half had gone by and no favorable change had taken place, and Dantes began to fancy the inspector’s visit but a dream, an illusion of the brain.
At the expiration of a year the governor was transferred; he had obtained charge of the fortress at Ham. He took with him several of his subordinates, and amongst them Dantes’ jailer. A new governor arrived; it would have been too tedious to acquire the names of the prisoners; he learned their numbers instead. This horrible place contained fifty cells; their inhabitants were designated by the numbers of their cell, and the unhappy young man was no longer called Edmond Dantes—he was now number 34.

Do: A water filter pitcher
Residence halls don’t always have the cleanest water, as they are filled with many unnecessary contaminants, so purchasing a water filter pitcher for a dorm will be extremely beneficial towards the taste and cleanliness of your water. Staying hydrated is so extremely important for your well-being, which a water filter pitcher would contribute heavily to with it being easily refillable. The good news is that these water filters are extremely cost-efficient and last quite a while, helping cut back on the ill-use of plastic bottles.
Do: A drying rack
A cheaper, more eco-friendly option to drying clothes is purchasing a foldable drying rack. Some clothes aren’t meant to be cycled through the dryer, thus comes in the handy drying rack to help preserve those types of clothing. Plus, most residence hall dryers are not free, so essentially you will be saving money. In addition, if the laundry room has no open dryers at the moment, having a drying rack on hand is helpful in those scenarios. If you invest in a foldable rack, they are simple to put away and take up little to no space. There are many amazing benefits that drying racks bring whether it be by increasing your room’s humidity or decreasing your own carbon footprint by skipping the dryer once in a while.
Do: Your own cleaning products
Nothing is more gross than a dorm room that is unkept and uncleanly. Becoming an adult and living on your own accounts for taking care of yourself and your environment, which some might not be used to. There will be many cases of unexpected spills and the impromptu dust and hair covering your belongings, so be prepared for those unfavorable cleanups every now and then. Whether it be a broom, sanitizing wipes, or paper towels, having these products on hand will be a blessing in the long run. Eventually, cleaning up your room will become easier after cleaning on a regular basis, and will avoid having to clean it all up at the end of the year.
Don't: Printer
It seems like this would be a necessary item, but in reality it's one of the worst. There will most likely be printers everywhere you go, whether it’s the library, the residence hall, or in the classrooms. It’s better to use a school printer, which will be more high quality than a cheap printer brought from home. Paying for all the supplies going into the printer is way more than what you would spend on school printer use, too. As technology in academics evolves, printing is hardly even necessary in college anymore, so there may be a chance you won’t use a printer at all.
Don't: Television
These big screens take up a lot more space than one might think. So if you’re wanting to utilize your limited space wisely, a TV is one item that should be left behind. Watching your favorite shows and movies on your computer or laptop is a better option, with less cords and easier accessibility. Besides, hauling this sizable product back and forth is not worth bringing.
Don't: School Supplies
The need for school supplies in college has sufficiently dropped, mostly because almost everything you will do academically will be on your laptop. So, the abundance of pens and pencils you usually buy at the beginning of the school year are not needed unless you’re an avid notebook user. Other supplies like a schedule planner can be replaced easily with an app, like Google Calendar.
Ultimately, getting notifications for future tasks and events is more necessary than all the hassle of flipping through a paper planner. Wait to buy school supplies until after classes start, that way it’s easier to know what items are necessary and which ones are not. But as an eco-friendly reminder, try your best to cut down on paper as much as you can. Your wallet and the Earth will feel much appreciated.

{% extends "header.html" %} {% block body %}
Now that we've got some fancy code coming along, it's time to move all of this to a function, so that we can use this dynamically to create other buttons, rather than copy and pasting the code over and over!
The conversion to a function is pretty straight forward. If you want more explanation than the code, check out the video tutorial on this above.
This function has the parameters of:
msg: What do you want the button to say on it.
x: The x location of the top left coordinate of the button box.
y: The y location of the top left coordinate of the button box.
w: Button width.
h: Button height.
ic: Inactive color (when a mouse is not hovering).
ac: Active color (when a mouse is hovering).
def button(msg,x,y,w,h,ic,ac): mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos() if x+w > mouse[0] > x and y+h > mouse[1] > y: pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, ac,(x,y,w,h)) else: pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, ic,(x,y,w,h)) smallText = pygame.font.Font("freesansbold.ttf",20) textSurf, textRect = text_objects(msg, smallText) textRect.center = ( (x+(w/2)), (y+(h/2)) ) gameDisplay.blit(textSurf, textRect)
Now that we have this button function, we need a way to pass other functions through it, so our buttons can actually "run" a function when clicked. To do this, we just need to add another parameter and then just pass the function object through it.
