Cradle Will Rock (1999) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/ Member: Online Film Critics Society
Starring Hank Azaria, Joan Cusack, John Cusack, Cary Elwes, Bill Murray, Susan Sarandon, Ruben Blades, Philip Baker Hall, Angus MacFayden, John Turturro, Emily Watson. Directed by Tim Robbins. Rated R.
It's difficult to find an angle on the Great Depression if you're looking to make a serious but not a depressing drama. What jumps out at you, understandably, is the poverty and the suffering. The million dollar challenge is to make a movie that shows all of that without focusing on it, without taking the viewer deep into the slums of poverty. Tim Robbins, acclaimed actor and director of Dead Man Walking is up to the challenge. With Cradle Will Rock, Robbins has made a bona fide period piece, a film that, through its plot and setting, conveys a wide range of characteristics of the time and place. Roger Ebert said that one needs a study guide to view Cradle Will Rock; I suggest that it is an immensely entertaining study guide in itself. In the 1930s after the stock market crashed and took the economy with it, part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's comprehensive recovery program known as the New Deal" was providing jobs for the many unemployed citizens. In an effort to open position in as wide a variety of fields as humanly possible, the Federal Theater Program was instituted. Branches of the Federal Theater would put out wide casting calls and put on moderately well-funded productions of plays for the general public. A major part of everything, of course, was the Red Scare, a nationwide Communism phobia and fear of anything deemed remotely un- American.
Enter Mark Blitzstein (Hank Azaria). Poor and suffering from a few mental disorders, Blitzstein wrote "Cradle Will Rock," a stage play that may not have been quite anti-Capitalist, but was certainly anti- Industrialist. It swept members of the working class off their feet but understandably disconcerted the government, already concerned with a possible proletariat rebellion. The Federal Theater decides to produce the play, headed by a young and arrogant Orson Welles (Angus MacFayden), but right before opening night the government decides to shut it down.
Meanwhile, in an unrelated subplot, Nelson Rockefeller (John Cusack) hires a painter friend of his to paint a mural in the lobby of one of Nelson's establishments. The painter also happens to be a Communist and he incorporates Lenin and other such sensibilities into his creation. Nelson wants very much to accomodate his buddy's whims but is very much worried about how well his mural will be received by the public.
Joan Cusack plays an employee of the Federal Theater seemingly brainwashed by the Red Scare; she goes to a Congressional Committee to complain about traces of Communism in the plays the Theater puts on. She develops a relationship with a sad, eccentric ventriloquist (Bill Murray), who isn't quite sure what he himself thinks.
Like the higher-profile but hardly superior Magnolia, Cradle Will Rock takes a unique approach to storytelling that is becoming increasingly popular: taking a whole set of characters and only tangentially related storylines and weaving them together to paint a complete picture. Since this is in effect a period piece, that method is all the more appropriate, and Robbins pulls it off admirably. I'm probably more familiar with the history of the 1930s than the average person and I was consistently impressed by how well this movie provided an interpertation of the decade in an entertaining and surprising way. It looks at the period from a whole new angle and puts it in a new light; the result is an illuminating experience.
Many have criticized this movie for being overly ambitious; it does, after all, try to tackle the stories of Nelson Rockefeller, William Randolph Hearst, the Red Scare, the Federal Theater and the Great Depression in general in one fell swoop. But I don't think that the movie's purpose is to provide a complete history; rather, it tries to take a snapshot of a time period. Robbins does not provide a lot of background information. He takes us right into his story. What he winds up doing is giving us an idea of what the 30s were like for a lot of people -- but not necessarily how it came to be that way or even why it's that way. He gives us the bare necessities so that we are not thoroughly confused, but that is all. This isn't a textbook translated to celluloid nor does it try to be one.
...and it all works like a gem. This is one of the very best films of the year, a sweeping, enjoyable, thought-provoking epic that respects, educates and entertains the audience all at the same time. Tim Robbins doesn't direct very often -- he prefers to act and is superb at that, too -- but when he does go behind the camera, what comes out is second to none.

Tory general election candidate retweets Tommy Robinson 'Muslim paedophiles' post
EXCLUSIVE: Karl McCartney's social media activity was exposed by anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate - in which he shared messages from Katie Hopkins that she supported Tommy Robinson
by Alan Selby, https://www.facebook.com/dailymirror/A Tory candidate retweeted a post claiming Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned for 'reporting on Muslim paedophiles'.
Karl McCartney apparently endorsed the comment which said the Government had 'made it illegal' to expose Asian grooming gangs after Robinson was jailed for contempt of court.
The revelations come five years after Mr McCartney claimed his account had been hacked after it was revealed his favourite pics included bondage images.
Mr McCartney, who is standing in Lincoln having been the city’s MP between 2010 and 2017, also shared a letter from Tommy Robinson with his followers in which the extreme right-winger claimed his murder by Islamic prison gangs would spark a revolution.
It read: “I’ve always said I’d sacrifice my life tomorrow if it would end the Islamic takeover of our beautiful land.”
He also shared messages from Katie Hopkins in which she supported Robinson and said he had been unfairly imprisoned for exposing Asian rape gangs.
His social media activity was uncovered by campaign group Hope Not Hate whose chief executive Nick Lowles said Mr McCartney should be sacked.
“There’s no excuse for promoting far-right propaganda. Karl McCartney is utterly unfit to be an MP,” he said.
Liberal Democrat MP Antoinette Sandbach said: "Perhaps the Conservatives should spend less time dividing the country and more time scrutinising their candidates."
Mr McCartney said: “I apologise unreservedly. In no way do I endorse the tweets or the accounts behind them. I accept retweeting them was ill-judged and could cause offence.
"This divisive figure has no place in our politics or public life.”

Impeachment probe hears Trump 'cared more' about Biden probe than Ukraine
President Donald Trump told a US diplomat he "cared more" about Ukraine investigating his Democratic rival Joe Biden than about the country itself, a key witness told the Trump impeachment hearing on Wednesday.
In a new development in the probe, top US envoy to Ukraine William Taylor told the hearing Trump's Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, shortly after speaking with the president in July, said "Trump cared more about the investigations of Biden" than Ukraine itself.
Taylor said a member of his staff told him last Friday, after he had already testified behind closed doors, that he overheard Sondland's July 26 phone call with Trump and then asked Sondland about Trump's thoughts about Ukraine, which prompted Sondland's remarks.

A class in Ruby always starts with the keyword Class. You end a class with the keyword end. As an example, I will create a class called Identity.
There are four types of variables in a Ruby Class. Local Variables are variables defined in a method and that are only avaliable within that method. Instance Variables are avaliable across all methods and are noted with @. Class Variables are avaliable across different objects and are noted with @@. lastly, Global Variables are avaliable across classes are are defined with the dollar sign $. Within Identity I need to initialize my variables. In this example my variables are instance variables so that they will be accessible across all of the methods within the class.
class Identity
def initialize (first_name, last_name, age)
@first_name=first_name
@last_name=last_name
@age=age
end
Within the class are functions which are called methods. They are formatted like a normal method with def followed by the method name. In the Identity example, the method can call upon any of the three variables listed because they are instance variables. Thus I could write a method within Class that greeted the person by their first and last name
To create Objects within a Ruby Class we use new. Write the object name followed by the name of the class.new.

OnePlus 8 series official design leaks - uses a punch-hole camera -
by Efe UdinOnePlus 8 series official design leaks – uses a punch-hole camera
3.8 (76.97%) 33 votes
With the OnePlus 7 series already in the market, reports on OnePlus 8 series are now hitting the web. As per a new report from TrueTech, a recent inside PDF file (from an anonymous OnePlus official) reveals interesting details about this smartphone. For starters, it shows that the OnePlus 8 Pro will come with a quad-rear camera setup. It will also use a dual punch-hole camera design.
Looking at the PDF file, the OnePlus 8 Pro will abandon the pop-up camera design. Instead, it will use the punch-hole solution. However, while the OnePlus 8 will use a single front camera, the Pro model will use a dual front camera setup.
In terms of design, OnePlus 8/Pro will further reduce the front bezel – both the top and the chin. The antenna is also transferred from the sides fuselage to the top and bottom fuselage. It is not clear whether this will affect the signal performance of the mobile phone. The major impact is on the overall body design which is narrower (the frame) and longer than the OnePlus 7 series.
In terms of the body buttons, the OnePlus 8/Pro keys are consistent, on the right side of the fuselage is the volume button, the left side has the power button. For the rear camera, the OnePlus 8 Pro has four rear cameras. There is a ToF sensor and a dual-LED flash.
While we can not confirm the authenticity of this report, the PDF happens to use the Official OnePlus Slate typeface. Click here to access the PDF file.

Hi All,
followed various threads for a little while now (on and off for a few months.)
like most of us i have PV and until recently didn't really worry about the excess as i had a nicely spining backwards meter. but when my supplier finally puled there finger out and sent me through all the docs i caved-in and informed them. so of course i now have a nice 'microgen compatible' meter. lucky for me its still a spinning disc but will now only spin back 1 rev before hitting a back stop.
anyway had looked at various 'expensive' options like the emma, Mr Rudge's 'relay' and decided i could do better. Bought myself a Arduino Uno to play with, a chinese 0-crossing SSR. so after messing around with LEDs and filament lamps i have put the SSR into the Immersion circuit and at the moment while the sun shines it ticks over nicely. Though of course I have to tweak it from time to time.
questions here...relate to is there any problem with using the SSR as is.. , as i see others have used much more expensive devices...and also separate opto-isolators and triacs... to me the SSR (isolation and triac in a box) seemed to be a convenient compromise... or have i missed a serious 'gotcha' ?
The emon TX, Base and GLCD seem like great tools for capturing all that information, so you can make sensible decisions about what to do with all that excess...
But... I may be missing the point here... there doesn't seem to be a emon unit for 'control'
Or is that just it.. either of the emon Base or TX could be set to have an output to control my SSR (or whatever.)
are these option built in to the available firmwares or is another box needed so it has enough cpu capacity for bits of processing per halfcycle etc etc..
another question i had while looking into RF comms with arduino was, who easy/hard is it to interact with.
if say i wanted to report excess watts via RF to my hypothetical emon 'control' unit. (or units as I have a couple of things to control.. and neither is particularly close to the monitoring location.)
I looked at panStamp devices as their stack for RF comms looked interesting..and also the Jeenodes which seem like nice units. I guess the jeenodes would be most likely to be able to talk to the emon units as they use similar RF units...
And finally, i see progress with the SMT version of the TX is progressing... does/will the improved accuracy of the CT circuit make a big difference (or other new features)...ie should i wait for them to be available :) or take the plunge and buy a full kit to build now.
so anyway thats more than enough for now...
uh..nice to meet you all...keep up the good work.
;?)
Richard.
Re: general newbie hello, and request for guidance :)
Seriously, look at the MK2 PV controler with triac thread. It is the holy grail!
It will divert excess solar to the immertion heater till your tank of water is as hot as you want it, this will get you going at minimum cost, it only needs a triac (with optocouple) to switch the heater and whilst in use uses all available excess without importing from the grid. The spcific optocouple is a zero crossing device, if your SSR is a zero crosser it could work although the components specified are as cheep as chips (see my post on costing).
Sexy bits like an LCD display can be added later, but if you want to start saving energy (and cash) stright away have a look.
Re: general newbie hello, and request for guidance :)
Hello, Newbie!
But... I may be missing the point here... there doesn't seem to be a emon unit for 'control'
I aim to be doing that very soon. There's no reason in principle why an emonTx (less the RF in my case) can't be used as the controller, and when the parts arrive I'll be able to tell you whether it works! The only change from Calypso-rae's circuit is the current-limiting resistor in the opto LED drive needs to be reduced to allow enough current with the lower 3.3 V supply.
I did some quick tests with an emon with the Tx and two c.t's and decided the processor load to report infeed and generated power, VA, current, voltage and power factor as well as controlling was too much for one processor, so that (and a 2ft thick stone wall in the rf path) made me split the system so I'll be installing a monitor system and a totally separate control system.
The beauty of Calypso_rae's controller is it works on the negative feedback principle, so rather than measuring consumption and generation, it attempts to control to achieve zero nett infeed energy.
Re: general newbie hello, and request for guidance :)
yep been following most of it...the early parts .. and i just looked today and found its grown alot while i have been away on hols..
apart from the energy buckets :) and the eye diagrams which kinda lost me for a bit seems all straight fwd.
your install looks nice and tidy, I split my Immersion wiring out of the switched isolator and mounted the SSR and heatsync on the wallboard next to it. the SSR has a simple finger shield.. but it isn't enclosed atm (though it is out of reach) bit naughty i know, i will put a box round it soon.
I have a choice in the monitoring as well, as when i had my meter changed i got them to put a DP isolator on the tails..
so I can work on the tails and the CU safely. so my plan was to split out the feed to the CU and the feed from the inverter and put a CT on each.
It seems like i might not need to do that now with the setup you have all been working with using the ac/ac transformer, assuming i can find a suitable one.
i see you published your PCB designs and a kit list too. excellent !
can you or anyone recommend a suitable solid core CT...
i figure as i am able to work with the main tails... i might as well put the best sensor I can on them.
cheers
Richard.
Re: general newbie hello, and request for guidance :)
Thanks RW for your comments too.
I also have a RF pathway problem as i live on a hill, my house is partly built into a slope, so there is a very thick wall and a fair amount of dirt to get through. to get data from the CU to the rest of the house i may almost need another new product, emon RF 'relay'
I hadn't appreciated the emon was 3.3v based, though that might be enough to drive my SSR will have to check.
the number of atmel/arduino type boards is staggering, and i've looked at so many..i get confused about which ones do what now.
so far my only experience is with the 'Uno' and thats 5v i think. (but has a 3.3v regulator too ?)
Seems like the lower V setups are clocked slower from what i've read, but hey i'm a newbie arent i :)
Calypso_rae's solution does indeed appear... well, elegant, i guess.
:)

A nice story. I also need a hat like that.


Introduction
Finally, after analyzing the academic perspective, a new research field was explored: the journalistic one . This choice was due to two main different reasons. First of all because some newspaper and database of news were found in the second chapter, during the research on terms, and they were identified as category of actors. In second place because the research question is about knowledge and the field of journalism offers an interesting pony of view, as this media is recognized for the diffusion of information and so knowledge. According to the actors found in the second chapter, three newspaper were taken in consideration: New York Times, The Guardian and Google News.
Even if the comparison with Google News is a particular choice, as it’s not a real newspaper but just a news database taken from different sites, it still gives a different point of view as, first of all is an important actor of the controversy linked with the theme news, and second of all because it still collect news with a criteria and so shows a “point of view” about the debate.
The aim of this chapter is to create a chart that shows an tries to interpretate the approach of these three actors to the discussion. In fact, there is an analysis of the articles to understand which type of position they assume and to which category these articles belong. The gap of time analyzed is from 2010 to 2014 because in 2011 the book by Eli Pariser was published and it was interesting to see also the discussion even before the filter bubble theory was developed.

Ukraine reports 16 enemy attacks in Donbas on Nov 17
There were no Ukrainian army casualties in the past day.
Russia's hybrid military forces on Sunday mounted 16 attacks on Ukrainian positions in Donbas, eastern Ukraine.
"The armed forces of the Russian Federation and its mercenaries violated the ceasefire 16 times on November 17," the press center of Ukraine's Joint Forces Operation said in a Facebook update as of 07:00 Kyiv time on November 18, 2019.
The enemy opened fire from proscribed 82mm mortars, antitank guided missile launchers, grenade launchers of various systems, heavy machine guns, and small arms.
Under attack were Ukrainian positions near the towns of Krasnohorivka and Avdiyivka, and the villages of Novomykhailivka, Vodiane, Lebedynske, Pavlopil, Krymske, Luhanske, Novoluhanske, Troyitske, and Travneve.
Since Monday midnight, Russian-led forces have been observing the ceasefire.


This function should currently only be used in Modelica.Media, since it might be replaced in the future by another strategy, where the tool is responsible for the solution of the non-linear equation.
This library determines the solution of one non-linear algebraic equation "y=f(x)" in one unknown "x" in a reliable way. As input, the desired value y of the non-linear function has to be given, as well as an interval x_min, x_max that contains the solution, i.e., "f(x_min) - y" and "f(x_max) - y" must have a different sign. If possible, a smaller interval is computed by inverse quadratic interpolation (interpolating with a quadratic polynomial through the last 3 points and computing the zero). If this fails, bisection is used, which always reduces the interval by a factor of 2. The inverse quadratic interpolation method has superlinear convergence. This is roughly the same convergence rate as a globally convergent Newton method, but without the need to compute derivatives of the non-linear function. The solver function is a direct mapping of the Algol 60 procedure "zero" to Modelica, from:
Due to current limitations of the Modelica language (not possible to pass a function reference to a function), the construction to use this solver on a user-defined function is a bit complicated (this method is from Hans Olsson, Dassault Systèmes AB). A user has to provide a package in the following way:
package MyNonLinearSolver extends OneNonLinearEquation; redeclare record extends Data // Define data to be passed to user function ... end Data; redeclare function extends f_nonlinear algorithm // Compute the non-linear equation: y = f(x, Data) end f_nonlinear; // Dummy definition that has to be present for current Dymola redeclare function extends solve end solve; end MyNonLinearSolver; x_zero = MyNonLinearSolver.solve(y_zero, x_min, x_max, data=data);
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| f_nonlinear_Data | Data specific for function f_nonlinear |
| f_nonlinear | Nonlinear algebraic equation in one unknown: y = f_nonlinear(x,p,X) |
| solve | Solve f_nonlinear(x_zero)=y_zero; f_nonlinear(x_min) - y_zero and f_nonlinear(x_max)-y_zero must have different sign |


QUICK QUESTION – When people talk about UAC, I often hear the term “split token”. What exactly is it?
QUICK ANSWER - When a process runs under UAC, some privileges are completely stripped out of the process token. Which also means that you cannot call AdjustTokenPrivileges() to enable them. See below -

All the highlighted privileges are missing in the UAC split token (Note that 'SeDebugPrivilege' is absent too. Hence the need to launch a debugger elevated)
"Split token" refers to how processes are elevated in "modern" Windows operating systems. A feature called "Session 0 Isolation" enhances security and protect the integrity of the installed OS, normal user operations occurs using a different security token, Session 1, while all Administration functionality requires elevation into Session 0. When operating as a Standard User, User Account Control will prompt for admin credentials when one of these administrative activities is triggered, and won't execute without this authentication. Even as a Local Administrator, normal use occurs in Session 1 and elevation requests present a prompt (but no creds required). UAC can be disabled, but it is not recommended.
This is all in an effort to ensure malware and viruses aren't sneaking around behind your back, elevating malicious processes without the user ever being notified.
Search terms: User Account Control, Session 0 Isolation, Standard User
If you use the elevate command while being logged in to Windows as a user that does not have a split token, that is as a non-administrator or a guest user, it will ask for the administrator’s password to continue. If you use it as the true administrator (that is, if UAC is disabled, or it you’ve launched the batch file itself as administrator), then no administrator’s approval would be required and it would launch the program as usual.

The comma operator evaluates each of its operands (from left to right) and returns the value of the last operand.
expr1, expr2, expr3...
expr1
, expr2, expr3...
You can use the comma operator when you want to include multiple expressions in a location that requires a single expression. The most common usage of this operator is to supply multiple parameters in a for
loop.
If a
is a 2-dimensional array with 10 elements on a side, the following code uses the comma operator to increment two variables at once. Note that the comma in the var
statement is not the comma operator, because it doesn't exist within an expression. Rather, it is a special character in var
statements to combine multiple of them into one. Practically, that comma behaves almost the same as the comma operator, though. The code prints the values of the diagonal elements in the array:
for (var i = 0, j = 9; i <= 9; i++, j--) document.writeln("a[" + i + "][" + j + "] = " + a[i][j]);
Another example that one could make with comma operator is processing before returning. As stated, only the last element will be returned but all others are going to be evaluated as well. So, one could do:
function myFunc () { var x = 0; return (x += 1, x); // the same as return ++x; }

What is ngx-translate?
NGX-Translate is an internationalization library for Angular. It lets you define translations for your content in different languages and switch between them easily. Check out the demo on StackBlitz.
It gives you access to a service, a directive and a pipe to handle any dynamic or static content.
NGX-Translate is also extremely modular. It is written in a way that makes it really easy to replace any part with a custom implementation in case the existing one doesn't fit your needs.
How to use ngx-translate?
The main part of the library is named core
. You can use it on its own, but it is usually a good
idea to add a loader to load your translations into your application.
Head over to the core documentation to get started in 5 minutes and then choose one of the following loaders (or write your own):
- Http Loader: load json translation files with http
- Angular Universal Loader: load json translation files with fs instead of http
- Po Loader: load .po files with http
You can also extract the strings from your code with the extractor. This makes it really easy to start and maintain your translations.
This tutorial explains how to use ngx-translate, ngx-translate-extract and BabelEdit to translate your Angular app.

BROKEDOWN PALACE A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ** 1/2
"We shouldn't be here," the frightened girl says on the tape that she's sent to their prospective lawyer in Thailand. "We're from Ohio, for God's sakes!"
No, Jonathan Kaplan's BROKEDOWN PALACE is not based on a true story, but most of it plays like some true-life tale that you've read before in your newspaper.  Where better than Thailand -- an exotic and beautiful country in which they've heard that you can live for an entire summer on $500?
As Alice, the poorer of the two, Claire Danes plays a good kid with a little bit of a wild streak. Kate Beckinsale, who was the best thing in last year's wonderful and under-appreciated LAST DAYS OF DISCO, plays Darlene, the slightly more naive of the two. Actually, they are close enough in looks and morals to be non-identical twins. Both are quite credible as likable, all-American teens who get sucked into a tragedy in which they quickly lose all control.
It starts off innocently enough. On a lark, Alice suggests that they sneak into a swanky hotel in order to beat the heat with a swim. When the waiter asks their room number for the food and drinks that they ordered, it's easy -- way, too easy -- to just pick some three-digit number at random.
After being caught, they are saved and later wooed by a handsome software instructor. Soon he invites them to go to Hong Kong with him for a few days, but he has to leave on an earlier flight. In the check-in line, soldiers with automatic weapons surround the girls and pull out drugs that have somehow gotten into their backpack. Before they know it, they're sentenced to spend the next quarter century of their lives in a Thai prison.
"I wasn't that scared at first," Alice continues on the tape that she sent to the lawyer whom they hope to hire. "I mean, I've had worse haircuts." The script by Adam Fields and David Arata has many such tonality problems.
On a more positive note, the prison has the feel of a real prison rather than the overdrawn ones typically shown in films. The girls' problems include barely edible soup, a little sadistic treatment and bugs everywhere; but most of all it is the lack of freedom and the daily tedium of prison life that are their chief tormentors.
The best of the supporting cast is the ever-reliable Bill Pullman, as their disheveled and slightly sleazy lawyer, Yankee Hank. Hank, who really has a heart of gold, has an early scene in which he calls Darlene's father back in the states in order to negotiate his fee. Hank writes down successively smaller figures on his paper pad. Before Hank mentions a figure to her father, he has already negotiated himself down on his own price. Hank tells his wife and law partner that he doesn't care if they win; even the reduced fee will pay for a new car.
Lou Diamond Phillips, on the other hand, overacts with a vengeance as Roy, a smarmy, hard drinking, fast living DEA agent. Roy's agenda isn't clear, nor is his purpose in the story.
The funniest scene in the film, which is either boldly bad or terribly cute, has Hank threatening a corrupt official with the most awful retribution America has to offer. If the official doesn't help, he'll unleash Larry King and Barbara Walters on him. Once they start, the official's life will be unbearable. Imagine Barbara, for example, walking through Darlene's bedroom on national television as her sobbing parents say that it's just as she left it.
The story takes many turns along the way. Sometimes the writers are quite inventive, and other times they borrow heavily from similar movies. The best and worst of the story is its resolution. Your thoughts afterwards are liable to be a conflicting mixture of fascination and disbelief. The ending visual image is definitely the low point of the entire movie and the least credible.
BROKEDOWN PALACE runs 1:40. It is rated PG-13 for brief strong language, drug related material and some violent content and would be fine for kids 12 and up.

THE HI-LO COUNTRY
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Gramercy Pictures/PolyGram Filmed Entertainment Director: Stephen Frears Writer: Walon Green, novel by Max Evans Cast: Billy Crudup, Woody Harrelson, Patricia Arquette, Penelope Cruz, Sam Elliott
The paradox of "The Hi-Lo Country" is that in many ways it resembles the old-fashioned western with its scenes in a saloon, the interminable fist-fights, the assertive females; and yet it departs from the genre in so many others. For one particular, the lines between good guys and bad are not so clear-cut. For another, it does not depict one lone gunfighter as hero, but opts instead to be a buddy movie about two men who are so tight that they would die for each other. In yet another route, perhaps the most significant one, it demonstrates its director's preoccupation with showing a historic crossroads that took the last frontier into the corporate age, much to the regret of those who would like to think of the American West as our last remnant of individualism. Significantly it is directed by Stephen Frears, a British helmer brought up in the city of Leicester who looks at the heartland of America from an outsider's point of view with the understanding that only a disinterested third party can bring. "The Hi-Lo Country" is a picture that can fascinate the most die-hard urbanite, the sort of dude who thought that westerns were strictly for the kiddies. It could enchant even New Yorkers who believe that if you sail west on the Hudson you'd simply fall off the edge.
What is the source of this charm? Part of the secret is in the fortuitous casting of Woody Harrelson, whose role as an architect in a previous picture was more indecent than the proposal of the title. Out of place there as Demi Moore's wife, he is right at home in Hi-Lo country where the Texas- born, fair-haired lad who made a name for himself in the TV series "Cheers" is a natural on a horse--roping steers, and causing mayhem throughout the countryside. By equipping Billy Crudup as his diametrical opposite and yet credibly showing how the two got along so famously, director Frears succeeds admirably in underscoring the surprises that incongruity can convey. Some exquisite photography on location in New Mexico, particularly in the long shots of a cattle roundup, gives the film its nostalgic kick: a sight or two to symbolize the end of an era when the region of hard- drinking Marlboro men gives way to the turf of corporate agri- business, in which cattle get shipped by current but decidedly unromantic methodology.
What drives the story forward is the interest that the two fast friends have in the same woman. At a time that the nation's strong young men shipped out to Europe and the Far East during World War II leaving behind a surplus of newly aggressive, man-hungry women, Mona (Patricia Arquette) settled in marriage for a man she could barely stand. No sooner did the boys come home in 1945 then she cast her eyes and then some on handsome, Pete (Billy Crudup), a strong, silent type also pursued by his regular girl friend Josepha (Penelope Cruz). Obsessed by his desire for Mona, Pete is crushed when Mona shifts her devotion to Pete's best buddy and riding partner, Big Boy (Woody Harrelson), a self- destructive, macho man who looks death in the eye without fear but who is just slightly domesticated by the woman whose body he compares not unfavorably to that of his best horse.
Stephen Frears, effectively, nay triumphantly, transforming a novel by Max Evans, portrays the New West which is evolving while the passion of its characters plays out. Cattle Baron Jim Ed Love (Sam Elliot) is buying up land, even forcing out reluctant cowboys with the blessing of the local magistrates. Love has earned the contempt of the townspeople, who celebrate Pete's powerful fists as they land with fury on the Ed Love's henchmen. Pete's disdain does not stop on his doorstep, as he scorns his own kid brother, Little Boy (Cole Hauser), for staying home during the war and working for the detested buyer.
According to critic David Thomsen, Stephen Frears once said that he does not enjoy working in America, but you'd not know it from this picture. This movie comes across as a paen, a joyous ode to the majesty of the big country, to an area that the director's compatriots must look at with envy from their tight little island. Perhaps the covetous English look with vindictive glee on the very technology that has transformed the land of Big Boy into the terra firma of a more productive but obviously less interesting corporate agribusiness. At any rate, that's the impression you take away from this large, brawling, lusty film which boasts nothing short of mythic resonance.

Freezing Time is a project to help you create cool animation loops, and then turn them into cool 3D objects that you can print and hold in your hand.
We create the 3D sculptures by imagining the frames of your animation in one big stack. We carve away all the pixels that have the color of the background, and what's left becomes your model.
When you're ready, you can open up the code and write your own animations. Our examples are just a start!
We call our process Freezing Time. The code we wrote to carry it out is called Project T2Z, because it places time on the Z axis.
A bare-bones, get-started-quick overview.
When you're ready to write your own animations, the comments in the code will be your guides.
To get started, download and install these two free, open-source programs. Both have versions for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux.
If you want to use Processing to develop your own programs, you'll probably want to use Processing 3. See the section below on how to install both versions successfully.
If you just want to run T2Z, then you're set: you have Processing 2.2.1, and you can skip this section and jump down to Installing Libraries. If, however, you want to also run Processing 3, then here's how you can have both.
Happily, you can have both version 2 (which I'll call P2) and version 3 (which I'll call P3) installed side by side, though you should only be running one at a time. To enable this, you need to do a few things. First, install both programs:
Now that you have both programs installed, you need to tell them how to stay out of each other's way. Processing keeps all your libraries and other files in a folder it calls your Sketchbook. By default both P2 and P3 refer to the same folder, which isn't good. So let's point them to different places.
/Users/YourNameHere/Documentsand on a PC, it's at
C:/Users/YourNameHere/DocumentsIn this folder, make a new folder called
ProcessingV2.
If you're on a Mac, set them as follows, replacing YourNameHere with your user name:
sketchbook.path=/Users/YourNameHere/Documents/ProcessingV2 sketchbook.path.three=/Users/YourNameHere/Documents/ProcessingIf you're on a PC, set them this way:
sketchbook.path=C:\Users\YourNameHere\Documents\ProcessingV2 sketchbook.path.three=C:\Users\YourNameHere\Documents\Processing
That's it, now both versions of Processing will have their own sketchbooks, and they should co-exist happily. Remember to only run one at a time.
Note that when you're running Processing 2.2.1 it may occasionally prompt you to upgrade to the newer version. Say no! You already have version 3 installed, and you don't want to replace your version 2 copy as long as you're planning to run T2Z.
That's it. In time, all of this version 2/version 3 stuff will probably get smoothed out and things will get much simpler.
You'll also need to install three Processing libraries. The easiest way to do this is using Processing's built-in tools, and indeed that's how we recommend adding libraries when you're running Version 3.
Unfortunately, if you use the automatic installer for Version 2 it seems to be sometimes incorrectly retreive libraries for Version 3, which creates all kinds of mess. So we'll next get working copies of the libraries for Version 2, and then manually install them.
/Users/YourNameHere/Documents/Processing/librarieson a Mac, or
C:\Users\YourNameHere\Documents\Processing\librarieson a PC.
If you did install Version 3 as above, then replace Processing in these paths with ProcessingV2. Make sure you're copying your folders into the Processing 2 libraries folder!. If you accidentally put them into the Processing 3 folder, they won't show up in Processing 2, and they won't work in Processing 3, either.
Finally, download and install our code itself.
Unzip it and place the resulting ProjectT2Z folder somewhere convenient. It's important that you don't rename the folder! You can put it anywhere you like, but Processing has some requirements about matching the name of the folder to the files it contains, so don't change the name.
If you didn't install Processing version 3, then simply open the T2Z folder and double-click on the file ProjectT2Z.pde. That should open up Processing, and you'll see something like the figure below.
If you have both version 2 and version 3 installed, you'll need to manually start version 2 and then open the program, since double-clicking on the pde file will open version 3, which is incompatible with T2Z. So start Processing version 2 manually, then choose File/Open... from the menu bar, and open the file ProjectT2Z.pde in the ProjectT2Z folder you unzipped during installation. (note: some of the figures show some variations on the name Project323 rather than ProjectT2Z. Don't worry, that was just an earlier name).
This is the Processing IDE. You can select any of the tabs along the top to see the file it contains. And, of course, you can edit the code, when you're ready to do that.
For now, start the program by pressing the big right-pointing arrow in the upper-left of the IDE. When you want to quit, you can do that in four ways:
Let's jump right into things. I strongly suggest that you open the project and run it, trying things out as we discuss them.
There are four windows: three with user interface controls and one where you preview your animation.
Let's make some stuff happen.
In the Animation Controls window (the one with a light-green background), choose an animation from the drop-down list at the top. Click on the dark blue bar at the far right to choose an animation. The sliders will change to display the controls for that animation.
Click the Run Animation button in the Camera Controls window (the one with a yellow background). Your animation should run in the Sketch Window. While it's running, feel free to move the sliders around until you get an animation loop you like.
If one of the sliders is red, and you move it, the animation will stop. Making a slider red is a hint from the animation author that this slider controls some computation that can take a little while (usually a second or two). So if you move one of these sliders, the animation stops. You can continue to move the rest of the sliders if you want. To get the animation running, push the Run Animation button again.

To save your animation as an animated gif, check the box labeled Build GIF Animation in the bottom-right of the Camera Controls window, and then press Record Animation. You'll see a single cycle of your animation play and then automatically stop. If you look in your T2Z directory, you'll see a gif file with the name of your chosen animation, followed by the time of creation. This is ready for sharing and posting to social media. (Well, to be honest, the GIF animation component sometimes has problems with choosing colors. If you get flickering colors in your GIF, save as PNG instead and make a GIF from them.)
If you'd like to save the individual frames, check the Save PNG Frames button, and then press Record Animation. The frames will show up in the T2Z folder, in a folder given by the name in the text box labeled PNG File Directory at the top of the window. One way to turn a set of PNGs into a GIF is to use the free, online EZGIF maker.
If you want, you can save both an animated GIF and the PNG files at the same time. Keep in mind that you must press Record Animation to save your results; pressing Run Animation will simply play it without saving anything.
When you're ready to save your animation for 3D printing, press the big Build Sculpture button in the Sculpture Controls window (the one with the red background). In your T2Z folder you'll see an STL file that uses the name that's in the upper-left of this panel (because we're sure your creations will be amazing, we've given that file the default name Amazohedron.stl, but you can change it to anything you like). You can then send your STL file to your 3D printer, if you have one, or to one of the 3D printing services to print for you (a few are named in the FAQ seciton).
This window lets you pick which animation you want to work on, and then tune its parameters to your liking.
This window lets you control the size and length of your animation, and include motion blur if you like. You can preview the animation, or save it as an animated GIF or a folder full of individual PNG files, one per frame.
This window is all about how you make your 3D model from the 2D animation. The basic idea is that we stack up your frames one on top of the other. We then remove all pixels that have the background color, and they turn into empty air. Every pixel that's not the background will turn into real physical stuff by the 3D printer.
Your animation plays here. There is no user interaction in this window.
In a word, files. We save a lot of files (your GIF animation, the PNG frames, and the stl sculpture file). For very good security reasons, code running in your browser cannot easily save files onto your computer's hard drive. We'd love to run this in a browser, but saving the output files is more important.
Making animated GIF files is surprisingly hard, because the GIF format only allows 256 colors per image. Each program that turns frames into an animated GIF (called an encoder), somehow has to choose those colors, and decide if it wants to save space by sometimes re-using the same colors for multiple frames. Each encoder seems to do things its own way, and they all have some conditions under which the results come out lousy.
We're using a good encoder, but if your animation is in its weak zone, you can try another encoder. Just save your frames in PNG format, and use another GIF encoder to mash them together (PhotoScape is a free program that makes GIF animations - use a display time of 2 (0.02 Sec); gifsicle is a command-line option). Note that for some encoders, you might have to turn your PNG files into GIF files first.
Each individual GIF image is limited to 256 colors, whether it's in an animation or not. So if we saved the frames in GIF format, we'd have to throw away all but 256 colors. For complex pictures that can look pretty bad.
So we save your images in the lossless PNG format, so they're perfect and uncompromised. If you later want to turn them into something like GIF or JPG, there are tons of free programs all over the web that can do that for you (just search for file format converter and pick one that looks good to you).
Open the Animations.pde tab and read the comments at the top. Then write your new animation and add it to the drop-down list. That's it! You'll need to know some Processing.
There are lots of ways to learn Processing. There are some tutorials on Processing's own tutorials page, and there are tons of videos and web pages all over the web. In particular, we like the videos from Daniel Shiffman, and of course we recommend Andrew's online Processing course.
Normally you want to avoid rapidly moving small objects in your animation, as these will create very thin objects that are difficult to 3D print. You don't need a 3D printer to get models printed. There are a fair number of consumer-friendly service firms that will do so for you, such as Shapeways, Sculpteo, 3D Hubs, i.materialise, and Ponoko. Shapeways has some good information on design constraints for 3D printing.
When you make a final export, crank up the number of frames, frame size, and snapshots per frame to their maximums. The build will go much slower, but the resulting mesh will be more detailed and smoother.
At this high quality the STL model file produced is huge. To make your mesh small enough to upload successfully, we recommend MeshLab for quick mesh simplification. See this short bit of video for how to use it. To sum up: use Filters | Remeshing | Quadric Edge Collapse Decimation. Check "Preserve Topology." Set target number of faces to 1300000 (1.3 million) for Shapeways, then Apply, then Close. File | Export Mesh As... and export the mesh as an STL.


Provides methods for making inference in the random effects meta regression model such as point estimates and confidence intervals for the heterogeneity parameter and the regression coefficients vector. Inference methods are based on different approaches to statistical inference. Methods from three different schools are included: methods based on the method of moments approach, methods based on likelihood, and methods based on generalised inference. The package also includes tools to run extensive simulation studies in parallel on high performance clusters in a modular way. This allows extensive testing of custom inferential methods with all implemented state-of-the-art methods in a standardised way. Tools for evaluating the performance of both point and interval estimates are provided. Also, a large collection of different pre-defined plotting functions is implemented in a ready-to-use fashion.

A one word description of the Sony Reader
It's like using a gopher. No kidding, I'm 21 years old again, operating from the CSES offices for pre-livesquid... the FSECG. Basically, you've got a tree, and at the leaves in the tree, there's a document. The pages are slow to bring up, a half second maybe for each. Sounds similar to gopher if you ask me.
There's more (well, any) graphics than that era, but most normal-sized PDFs look terrible on the small (SVGA) screen - they're basically unusable. I admit they would've looked equally as bad on the 13″- or 15″-inch electron cannons we aimed at our faces for hours on days on years on end back in the gopher-era.
I don't know if I should be surprised but RTF's, which date from the same era, look better on the Reader. I still have to check out unformatted TXT files and also some converted HTML to see what they look like.
Some side-lighting would have been nice. Palm Pilots and cell phones and even Newtons got me used to back-lit reading at night while camping without having to use a headlamp.
When it's sitting there, especially at the menus, the display is _sexy_ looking. ~162 DPI is not to be scoffed at. Speaking of the Newton, it's kinda nice to be back in greyscale again, kinda like going home to Pleasantville.
Next challenge: wrest it away from my girlfriend so I can actually read something on it.
(A couple of things I've dumped on it: ISO standards, TIFF 6.0, Why's Poignant Guide To Ruby, Thinking in Python, some Baen books. I'll link these (well the non-ISO ones) later, when it's not 1:30am)

...but only if the gopher interface fit in your pocket, I guess.
I played with the Librie (the Reader's big brother) in Japan last year but the thought of hacking it into English, the restricted reading material from their site only (minus free stuff, of course) and the rather steep pricing dissuaded me very quickly.  Or that's how it seemed.
When ti comes to this kind of thing, I really wish there was a quick way to scan books (like ripping CDs). Or alternatively, to cheaply / freely download books you already own somehow. Oh well...
I really like the look of the screen, though, and the size is great for replacing a book... Me wanty, but I have other, more useful things to spend money on right now...

Ya, if you could have your existing library immediately available on your reader it would be amazing.
It's super usable with non-PDFs: RTF and the LRF format work really well. It's a shame they don't have a good PDF reader, we're not talking rocket science here.
The funny thing with me and books is I go through periods where I don't touch them, and other periods where I'm burning the candle at both ends reading: reading late and waking up early to continue reading. I imagine that period ends when the exhaustion catches up with me.
Still, I'm happy with it and I wish I had time to actually read the 20 books I've put on there so far. Most of Doctorow's stuff, Manybooks's many different formats (including LRF) (Gutenburg-based, IIRC), various free documents, etc.
Mmm. there's some good stuff there... Maybe I need to go shopping.
Out of curiosity, does the Sony format at Manybooks read any better than LRF?
Have you by any chance checked out Sony's Connect site? That takes me back... You'd think they could do better...
The Sony format at Manybooks *is* LRF, apparently...
Which generally is fast. I've not seen complex examples but mostly I've been reading books which have simple layout requirements. RTF is fast but lays out simply, once an initial layout is done. Only PDF is slow.
So better...?


I am a postdoc working with Cole Trapnell and Jay Shendure at University of Washington. Before that I received my Ph.D. from Stanford University, where I studied complex traits in the lab of Jonathan Pritchard. I enjoy thinking about how DNA is translated into life.

Hollywood Celebrates Democrat Victories: 'Mitch McConnell Must Be Sh**ting His Shell'
Left-wing Hollywood celebrities gloated after Democrats won key electoral battles in Kentucky and Virginia on Tuesday, with some stars jabbing at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying he will be the next politician to fall.
by David NgKentucky voters handed an apparent victory to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andy Beshear, though Republican incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin has so far refused to concede the close race. In Virginia, voters flipped both houses of the state legislature blue.
Actress Bette Midler celebrated the gubernatorial result in Kentucky, tweeting that “Mitch McConnell must be shitting his shell!”
Actor Jason Alexander showered praise on those who’d won their races in Kentucky and Virginia, saying he hope they govern with honesty and decency — “qualities to lead us out of this mess.”
Comedian Sarah Silverman also took a pot shot at Sen. McConnell, tweeting “GO KENTUCKY!! Next step: goodbye MOSCOW MITCH!”
Actor John Leguizamo joined in the social media pile-on.
Comedian and Virginia native Patton Oswalt expressed his pride that the state’s General Assembly will be controlled by Democrats for the first time in more than two decades.
“So proud of my home state today. So so proud,” the Ratatouille star tweeted.
Actress Alyssa Milano tweeted that President Donald Trump is responsible for the Republican’s electoral losses on Tuesday.
“He’s going to take the whole Republican Party down with him,” the Who’s the Boss star wrote. “Last night was proof that The People will do what’s right to correct the system.”
Comedian Chelsea Handler rejoiced, saying “Usually I have to take an edible to watch the news but not last night.”
Actress Piper Perabo said the victories in Kentucky and Virginia bode well for abortion.
“Reproductive freedom is safer today in Virginia and Kentucky!” she tweeted.

XHOST
Section: User Commands (1)Updated: xhost 1.0.4
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
xhost - server access control program for XSYNOPSIS
xhost [[+-]name ...]DESCRIPTION
The xhost program is used to add and delete host names or user names to the list allowed to make connections to the X server. In the case of hosts, this provides a rudimentary form of privacy control and security. It is only sufficient for a workstation (single user) environment, although it does limit the worst abuses. Environments which require more sophisticated measures should implement the user-based mechanism or use the hooks in the protocol for passing other authentication data to the server.OPTIONS
Xhost accepts the following command line options described below. For security, the options that affect access control may only be run from the "controlling host". For workstations, this is the same machine as the server. For X terminals, it is the login host.- -help
- Prints a usage message.
- [+]name
- The given name (the plus sign is optional) is added to the list allowed to connect to the X server. The name can be a host name or a user name.
- -name
- The given name is removed from the list of allowed to connect to the server. The name can be a host name or a user name. Existing connections are not broken, but new connection attempts will be denied. Note that the current machine is allowed to be removed; however, further connections (including attempts to add it back) will not be permitted. Resetting the server (thereby breaking all connections) is the only way to allow local connections again.
- +
- Access is granted to everyone, even if they aren't on the list (i.e., access control is turned off).
- -
- Access is restricted to only those on the list (i.e., access control is turned on).
- nothing
- If no command line arguments are given, a message indicating whether or not access control is currently enabled is printed, followed by the list of those allowed to connect. This is the only option that may be used from machines other than the controlling host.
NAMES
A complete name has the syntax ``family:name'' where the families are as follows:
inet Internet host (IPv4) inet6 Internet host (IPv6) dnet DECnet host nis Secure RPC network name krb Kerberos V5 principal local contains only one name, the empty string si Server Interpreted
The family is case insensitive. The format of the name varies with the family.
When Secure RPC is being used, the network independent netname (e.g., "nis:unix.uid@domainname") can be specified, or a local user can be specified with just the username and a trailing at-sign (e.g., "nis:pat@").
For backward compatibility with pre-R6 xhost, names that contain an at-sign (@) are assumed to be in the nis family. Otherwise they are assumed to be Internet addresses. If compiled to support IPv6, then all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses returned by getaddrinfo(3) are added to the access list in the appropriate inet or inet6 family.
Server interpreted addresses consist of a case-sensitive type tag and a string representing a given value, separated by a colon. For example, "si:hostname:almas" is a server interpreted address of type hostname, with a value of almas. For more information on the available forms of server interpreted addresses, see the Xsecurity(7) manual page.
The initial access control list for display number n may be set by the file /etc/Xn.hosts, where n is the display number of the server. See Xserver(1) for details.
DIAGNOSTICS
For each name added to the access control list, a line of the form "name being added to access control list" is printed. For each name removed from the access control list, a line of the form "name being removed from access control list" is printed.SEE ALSO
X(7), Xsecurity(7), Xserver(1), xdm(1), xauth(1), getaddrinfo(3)ENVIRONMENT
- DISPLAY
- to get the default host and display to use.
BUGS
You can't specify a display on the command line because -display is a valid command line argument (indicating that you want to remove the machine named ``display'' from the access list).
The X server stores network addresses, not host names, unless you use the server-interpreted hostname type address. If somehow you change a host's network address while the server is still running, and you are using a network-address based form of authentication, xhost must be used to add the new address and/or remove the old address.

Three simple ingredients is all it takes to make a zingy, refreshing lemon posset
For the posset, bring the cream and sugar to the boil in a pan. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Pass through a fine sieve and set aside to cool for five minutes.
Skim off any air bubbles from the surface and pour into six serving glasses. Transfer to the fridge for at least two hours, or until set.
For the biscotti, preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
Sift the flour and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time with a spoonful of flour each time (to prevent the mix from splitting). Sift in the remaining flour mixture and mix to combine. Fold in the toasted almonds and fennel seeds.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour and shape the dough into two fat sausage shapes. Place on the prepared baking tray and slightly flatten the dough.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, slice the loaf into 2cm/¾in thick slices and lay the biscuits out onto a wire rack that will fit in the oven. Place the rack into the oven for five minutes, or until the biscuits are dried out.
Remove from the oven and immediately dust with icing sugar. Leave to cool completely before serving with the lemon posset.

does NOT use request-jpeg-thumbnail to attempt freshening (due to bugs in said method).

Determines if preview is fresh (accepts either standard or final quality).
Parameters:
-
photo

Usage:
*** previews are not freshened in develop module, so switch to library module
before bothering with this function.this function executes "pseudo-synchronously", such that if command-line/sqlite is hung (it unfortunately does happen sometimes), it
will be abandoned (eventually hung command tasks will populate the process list...) - not sure what else to do though. ###3
