THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1995 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH is a lovely fairy tale set in an isolated island off the Irish coast. The land is bleak and breathtaking and the cinematography (Haskell Wexler) shows it off without ever overpowering a simple story. Similarly the hunting Irish music (Mason Daring) sets the mood without ever dominating a scene.
A supposedly true fable is told to Fiona (Jeni Courtney), a ten-year-old girl, by her Grandfather (Mick Lally). Her grandmother (Eileen Colgan) does not approve of Fiona hearing any of the story.
Her grandfather tells her that they had to evacuate their long time home on the island of Roan Inish a few years back and move to the coast not far from the island. He points it out to her in the distance. The unusual occurrence of the move was that her baby brother Jamie (Cillian Byrne) was washed out to sea in his crib and has never been seen since.
Later her cousins Eamon (Richard Sheridan) and Tadhg (John Lynch) tell her even more bizarre tales of generations back. One has to do with a part seal and part human creature. Especially cute seals are prominently featured in a quarter of the scenes in the show. Much cuter than those in ANDRE for example.
The key to the success of THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH is John Sayles. He was the writer (based on a book by Rosalie Fry), director and editor. Sayles is extremely gifted. Of Sayles 9 movies, my favorites, in addition to this one, are: MATEWAN, THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET, and BABY, IT'S YOU--they are all worth looking for.
The movie was very carefully crafted, cast, and acted. All performances were excellent and the movie had a relaxed, deliberate, and measured pace. My favorite acting was that by Jeni Courtney. Although most scenes had her just listening pensively, she was nevertheless moving at it.
The movie runs a leisurely 1:43. It is rated PG for its intensity, seriousness, and slow pacing. There is the natural nudity of a small child, but no adult nudity, sex, or violence. I suspect it will be too much for kids under 5. My 5 23/24th year old boy, as he calls himself, liked the show, gave it a thumbs up and talked about it a lot after the movie. On the other hand, he spent most of the show in my lap since its intensity did scare him, and he hated the scene of the fish being cleaned. Kids used to movies with constant and changing action, may not know what to make of this show. For anyone over 4 I certainly recommend it--it is not a kids' show, rather it is a tale that make interest children as well. I award it ***.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

--- layout: game title: Red Alert tags: LD27, 48hrs source: http://github.com/andreasmcdermott/red-alert windows: http://www.andreasmcdermott.com/assets/redalert.zip ludumdare: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=11705 ---
This game was developed during 48 hours for the 27th Ludum Dare game competition (the theme was "10 seconds"). It is a top-down shooter where the player has to survive 10-second rounds against zombies and moving walls, while collecting as many coins as possible.
I had some issues getting started with this entry. My initial idea was to have walls moving every 10 seconds, but it wasn't very fun to play. Instead I made the walls move more often and have the zombies spawn every 10 seconds. It is quite fun, but maybe a bit limtied.
All code and content is created by me using the following:


Object versioning¶
You can store multiple versions of your content so that you can recover from unintended overwrites. Object versioning is an easy way to implement version control, which you can use with any type of content.
Note
You cannot version a large-object manifest file, but the large-object manifest file can point to versioned segments.
Note
It is strongly recommended that you put non-current objects in a different container than the container where current object versions reside.
To allow object versioning within a cluster, the cloud provider should add the
versioned_writes
filter to the pipeline and set the
allow_versioned_writes
option to true
in the
[filter:versioned_writes]
section of the proxy-server configuration file.
To enable object versioning for a container, you must specify an “archive
container” that will retain non-current versions via either the
X-Versions-Location
or X-History-Location
header. These two headers
enable two distinct modes of operation. Either mode may be used within a
cluster, but only one mode may be active for any given container. You must
UTF-8-encode and then URL-encode the container name before you include it in
the header.
For both modes, PUT requests will archive any pre-existing objects before writing new data, and GET requests will serve the current version. COPY requests behave like a GET followed by a PUT; that is, if the copy source is in a versioned container then the current version will be copied, and if the copy destination is in a versioned container then any pre-existing object will be archived before writing new data.
If object versioning was enabled using X-History-Location
, then object
DELETE requests will copy the current version to the archive container then
remove it from the versioned container.
If object versioning was enabled using X-Versions-Location
, then object
DELETE requests will restore the most-recent version from the archive
container, overwriting the current version.
Example Using X-Versions-Location
¶
- Create the
current
container:
# curl -i $publicURL/current -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Versions-Location: archive"
HTTP/1.1 201 Created Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: txb91810fb717347d09eec8-0052e18997 X-Openstack-Request-Id: txb91810fb717347d09eec8-0052e18997 Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:28:55 GMT
Create the first version of an object in the
current
container:# curl -i $publicURL/current/my_object --data-binary 1 -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
HTTP/1.1 201 Created Last-Modified: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:31:22 GMT Content-Length: 0 Etag: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx5992d536a4bd4fec973aa-0052e18a2a X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx5992d536a4bd4fec973aa-0052e18a2a Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:31:22 GMT
Nothing is written to the non-current version container when you initially PUT an object in the
current
container. However, subsequent PUT requests that edit an object trigger the creation of a version of that object in thearchive
container.These non-current versions are named as follows:
<length><object_name>/<timestamp>
Where
length
is the 3-character, zero-padded hexadecimal character length of the object,<object_name>
is the object name, and<timestamp>
is the time when the object was initially created as a current version.Create a second version of the object in the
current
container:# curl -i $publicURL/current/my_object --data-binary 2 -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
HTTP/1.1 201 Created Last-Modified: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:41:32 GMT Content-Length: 0 Etag: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx468287ce4fc94eada96ec-0052e18c8c X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx468287ce4fc94eada96ec-0052e18c8c Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:41:32 GMT
Issue a GET request to a versioned object to get the current version of the object. You do not have to do any request redirects or metadata lookups.
List older versions of the object in the
archive
container:# curl -i $publicURL/archive?prefix=009my_object -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 30 X-Container-Object-Count: 1 Accept-Ranges: bytes X-Timestamp:<PHONE_NUMBER>.79684 X-Container-Bytes-Used: 0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 X-Trans-Id: tx9a441884997542d3a5868-0052e18d8e X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx9a441884997542d3a5868-0052e18d8e Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:45:50 GMT 009my_object/1390512682.92052
Note
A POST request to a versioned object updates only the metadata for the object and does not create a new version of the object. New versions are created only when the content of the object changes.
Issue a DELETE request to a versioned object to remove the current version of the object and replace it with the next-most current version in the non-current container.
# curl -i $publicURL/current/my_object -X DELETE -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Content-Length: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx006d944e02494e229b8ee-0052e18edd X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx006d944e02494e229b8ee-0052e18edd Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:51:25 GMT
List objects in the
archive
container to show that the archived object was moved back to thecurrent
container:# curl -i $publicURL/archive?prefix=009my_object -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
HTTP/1.1 204 No Content Content-Length: 0 X-Container-Object-Count: 0 Accept-Ranges: bytes X-Timestamp:<PHONE_NUMBER>.79684 X-Container-Bytes-Used: 0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Trans-Id: tx044f2a05f56f4997af737-0052e18eed X-Openstack-Request-Id: tx044f2a05f56f4997af737-0052e18eed Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:51:41 GMT
This next-most current version carries with it any metadata last set on it. If want to completely remove an object and you have five versions of it, you must DELETE it five times.
Example Using X-History-Location
¶
- Create the
current
container:
# curl -i $publicURL/current -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-History-Location: archive"

In addition to the two previous versions of the object, the archive container has a “delete marker” to record when the object was deleted.
To permanently delete a previous version, issue a DELETE to the version in the archive container.
Disabling Object Versioning¶
To disable object versioning for the current
container, remove
its X-Versions-Location
metadata header by sending an empty key
value.
# curl -i $publicURL/current -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Versions-Location: "

Showcasing the best courses in Yorkshire
The pot of gold at the end of the MacKenzie Trail Series rainbow is a trip for the winning pair to the 2022 Masters, with the prize to be presented by the 1992 champion Ian Woosnam.The prize package includes flights, accommodation for 4 nights based on twin sharing, car hire, two rounds of golf and tickets to the Masters on the climatic final day.
One of MacKenzie’s fundamental principles as an architect was to build courses for the most enjoyment for the greatest number. He believed each golfer should be tested without finding the course an impossible challenge, and we have selected some of his hidden gems to host five qualifying events.
The format is a pairs better ball stableford played off 90% of handicap with a maximum of 50 pairs available to play at each of five qualifying events.
The top five pairs from each of the five qualifying events will qualify for the final which will be played at Ilkley Golf Club just before the Ian Woosnam Senior Invitational in September, giving finalists a unique opportunity to experience professional tournament conditions.
Golf and prizes for the final at Ilkley will be provided free and the only other expense that finalists will have to cover is the purchase of food and drink on the day.
Prizes will also be awarded to the top three pairs at each of the five qualifying events.
The cost to enter each of the qualifying events is £200 per pair which includes 18 holes of golf on the day, prizes and a MacKenzie Series logoed shirt for each competitor.

First dose was 20 mg and orally ingested. I had been eating food about three hours before. I was not aware of this substances existence before I got in my hand. The only thing that my humble friend new about it was that it had been a legal substance when buying it. But the person who had let us try this rare hallucinogen must have been saving it for two years or so.
For the settings we moved us over to my apartment to get our self some chill time of our own with out my friends children and wife to see it happen.
The onset must have been about one hour or so. The first feeling was similar to the light disoriented feeling some of the cheap acid we had done years ago. Almost like the brain puts in a pause to get all signals substances on a new task. And the chemical taste/feeling fills up the first sense just like acid does. (For me that is) Then ends similarly to the real thing. It takes me on a mild wobbly walk through a slightly more warm colored reality then the one we always like to escape. Nothing more of OEV than that. Other senses that gets a boost is changes between all basic things like taste, smell and feeling the bodyís structures.
Just when I connect that feeling to what it is it moves to the next. Like a shuffled playlist for senses. After about two and a half hours, we took the last cap of 10 mg. After about a half an hour the first time gaps appear. It kept standing still looking straight out at nothing. Then the phone rang. We started to do what we did before like nothing had happened. I mixed the music we listened to and he finished his phone call. After that more and more of our feeling got stabilized and the psychedelic trance got in to it for real. We had listened to it all the time but it was like the brain filtered it away before.
Now we started to smoke hash to get it going on more. It did not gear it up like I thought it would. It just made my body more based in the room. And rhythmic in part they moved to the beat. Thatís mostly the rest of the nights theme. We talked about all things came to, our minds and our souls were perfectly balanced and it was a nice comedown. When the suns first beams rose over the roof tops did we took some nice fresh passion fruit for breakfast. Then around seven he left to walk home to his beloved family, and did a basic shower and shave. Got my worker clothes on and got on the bus to work. It was a nice afterglow on a fine day.

Lately I’ve found myself implementing at least two out of three of these utility methods on most of my ActiveRecord models on my Rails apps. These methods leverage functionality of either Ruby by itself or Rails that will become helpful in other parts of your application.
The labeler: #to_s
Defining a to_s method enables a very clean way to display a label that represents your model instance. Suppose you have a Post model. You could define a #to_s method similar to the following:
1 2 3 |
|
Now your views can simply do something like the following HAML:
1 2 |
|
The quantifier: #<=>
This method is useful when you consistently need to be able to respond to the question “Which of these is bigger/better/taller/fatter/purtier?”. Which metric defines the quantity is completely up to you, but what’s important is that defining this method will allow you to call the Enumerable
goodies #min
, #max
, and #sort
. For example, and following the Post model example above, you could imagine the following method definition.
1 2 3 |
|
Assuming you have a recent
named_scope that returns the latest n
posts, you could do things like Post.recent.max
or Post.recent.sort
.
The SEOer: #to_param
Finally, this method is leveraged by Rails itself. You can take advantage of the fact that the :id parameter on Rails URLs can be any sequence of integers followed by any non-whitespace characters. Rails will ignore any character after the integers, and use that as the :id parameter. It is customary to use the post’s title as part of the URL. An easy way to achieve this in Rails is to define the following method on your model:
1 2 3 |
|
Rails will call to to_param method when using post_url(@post)
, and your URLs shal become slugs, in SEO terms.

Videos: Trump Says Will Invite #MAGACHALLENGE Winners to Perform at the White House
The MAGA Challenge on Twitter, a forum to post video, sing or rap in favor of US President Donald Trump and his politics, reportedly began in September after Bryson Gray posted a song online using the handle ‘MAGA Boy’ in which the lyrics detailed the backlash experienced by a Trump supporter who is black.
US President Donald Trump tweeted that he will select winners for his Twitter-based ‘Make America Great Again’ challenge under the hashtag #MAGACHALLENGE.
The president added that he will invite the winners to meet him at the White House and perform their work.
“I will be announcing the winners of the #MAGACHALLENGE and inviting them to the White House to meet with me and perform. Good luck!,”
Trump’s initiative found wide acceptance from many while others denounced and ridiculed the president.
Participants of the challenge will tweet their routine using the hashtag. A MAGA hat is obligatory to most of the videos and photos posted with the hashtag.
The majority of challenge participants have uploaded videos in which they sing a song or rap in support of Trump, but there have been some posted videos that mock the president.

Hi all!
So I'm trying to resurrect this old thread.
I've put ideas from several allocators together (including Stéphane's,
Boost's and other :-)) and the result is in the attachment. There are
two allocators: Gecode::space_allocator and Gecode::region_allocator.
These are in fact identical, so we could perhaps make just one template,
but that would require template templates and I'm not sure how would
that affect portability. See space_allocator.hpp and region_allocator.hpp.
The allocators can be used with all STL classes, which is demonstrated
in the example (GecodeAllocTest.cpp). Taking std::set as an example,
there are two possibilities of how to use the allocators. One is to use
the allocator just for the nodes, knowing that the destructors of the
items in the set will be called properly. The other possibility is to
use the allocator for both the set object and its nodes. This does not
call the destructor of the set nor the destructors of the items, and
therefore can improve performance greatly.
To enable the latter, I've added some helper functions as extensions of
Gecode::Space and Gecode::Region (see extensions.hpp). These could make
use of variadic templates (or at least Boost Preprocessor), but again,
that would sacrifice some portability.
My feeling is that this might help with using the STL and Boost data
structures within the user scripts. It seems a bit clumsy, but just
during construction/copying. And everyone can make their macros and
stuff to save some typing if they wish. The only thing that scares me is
bad usage (e.g. copying a structure along with the foreign allocator
during cloning), so I think if this is released with Gecode it must
include some tutorial on how to use it. (One thing that is still missing
in the code is doxygen documentation.)
BTW, I hereby release all the code under the Gecode license.
All the best,
Filip

My embeded systems class had a lab compenent that revolved around a semester long project to make a modified roomba vacum navigate a random obstacle course. We were charged with taking the raw data from sensors,
processing it, and telling the robot how to move.
I was the team lead on this project and mostly focusedo n integration of other team members code. I also wrote all the ending code. Our robot upon detecting the end goal would approach it and then send a communication
back to the computer and play a little song.
This project was a lot of fun to work on and watch play out. We got a really good grade from all the extra bells and whistle we were able to tack onto our project and I made a good friend.


Of Buying of Sheep
THERE were two men of Gotham, and one of them was going to market to Nottingham to buy sheep, and the other came from the market, and they both met together upon Nottingham bridge.
'Where are you going?' said the one who came from Nottingham.
'Marry,' said he that was going to Nottingham, 'I am going to buy sheep.'
'Buy sheep?' said the other. 'And which way will you bring them home?'
'Marry,' said the other, '1 will bring them over this bridge.'
'By Robin Hood,' said he that came from Nottingham, 'but thou shalt not.'
'By Maid Marion,' said he that was going thither, 'but I will.'
'You will not,' said the one.
'I will.'
Then they beat their staves against the ground one against the other, as if there had been a hundred sheep between them.

Then the other said: 'If that thou make much to do, I will put my fingers in thy mouth.'
'Will you?' said the other.
Now, as they were at their contention, another man of Gotham came from the market with a sack of meal upon a horse, and seeing and hearing his neighbours at strife about sheep, though there were none between them, said:
'Ah, fools! will you ever learn wisdom? Help me, and lay my sack upon my shoulders.'
They did so, and he went to the side of the bridge, unloosened the mouth of the sack, and shook all his meal out into the river.
'Now, neighbours,' he said, 'how much meal is there in my sack?'
'Marry,' said they, 'there is none at all.'
'Now, by my faith,' said he, 'even as much wit as is in your two heads to stir up strife about a thing you have not.'
Which was the wisest of these three persons, judge yourself.
Of Hedging a Cuckoo
Once upon a time the men of Gotham would have kept the Cuckoo so that she might sing all the year, and in the midst of their town they made a hedge round in compass and they got a Cuckoo, and put her into it, and said, 'Sing there all through the year, or thou shalt have neither meat nor water.' The Cuckoo, as soon as she perceived herself within the hedge, flew away. 'A vengeance on her!' said they. 'We did not make our hedge high enough.'
Of Sending Cheeses
There was a man of Gotham who went to the market at Nottingham to sell cheese, and as he was going down the hill to Nottingham bridge, one of his cheeses fell out of his wallet and rolled down the hill. 'Ah, gaffer,' said the fellow, 'can you run to market alone? I will send one after another after you.' Then he laid down his wallet and took out the cheeses, and rolled them down the hill. Some went into one bush; and some went into another.
'I charge you all to meet me near the marketplace'; and when the fellow came to the market to meet his cheeses, he stayed there till the market was nearly done: Then he went about to inquire of his friends and neighbours, and other men, if they did see his cheeses come to the market.
'Who should bring them?' said one of the market men.
'Marry, themselves,' said the fellow; 'they know the way well enough.'
He said, 'A vengeance on them all. I did fear, to see them run so fast, that they would run beyond the market. I am now fully persuaded that they must be now almost at York.'
Whereupon he forthwith hired a horse to ride to York, to seek his cheeses where they were not, but to this day no man can tell him of his cheeses.
Of Drowning Eels
When Good Friday came, the men of Gotham cast their heads together what to do with their white herrings, their red herrings, their sprats, and other salt fish. One consulted with the other, and agreed that such fish should be cast into their pond (which was in the middle of the town), that they might breed against the next year, and every man that had salt fish left cast them into the pool.
'I have many white herrings,' said one.
'I have many sprats,' said another.
'I have many red herrings,' said the other.
'I have much salt fish. Let all go into the pond or pool, and we shall fare like lords next year.'
At the beginning of next year following the men drew near the pond to have their fish, and there was nothing but a great eel. 'Ah,' said they all, 'a mischief on this eel, for he has eaten up all our fish.'
'What shall we do to him?' said one to the others.
'Kill him,' said one.
'Chop him into pieces,' said another.
'Not so,' said another; 'let us drown him.'
'Be it so,' said all. And they went to another pond, and cast the eel into the pond. 'Lie there and shift for yourself, for no help thou shalt have from us'; and they left the eel to drown.
Of Sending Rent
Once on a time the men of Gotham had forgotten to pay their landlord. One said to the other, 'Tomorrow is our pay-day, and what shall we find to send our money to our landlord?'
The one said, 'This day I have caught a hare, and he shall carry it, for he is light of foot.'
'Be it so,' said all; 'he shall have a letter and a purse to put our money in, and we shall direct him the right way.' So when the letters were written and the money put in a purse, they tied it round the hare's neck, saying, 'First you go to Lancaster, then thou must go to Loughborough, and Newarke is our landlord, and commend us to him and there is his dues.'
The hare, as soon as he was out of their hands, ran on along the country way. Some cried, 'Thou must go to Lancaster first.'
'Let the hare alone,' said another; 'he can tell a nearer way than the best of us all. Let him go.'
Another said, 'It is a subtle hare, let her alone; she will not keep the highway for fear of dogs.'
Of Counting
On a certain time there were twelve men of Gotham who went fishing, and some went into the water and some on dry ground; and, as they were coming back, one of them said, 'We have ventured much this day wading; I pray God that none of us that did come from home be drowned.'
'Marry,' said one, 'let us see about that. Twelve of us came out,' and every man did count eleven, and the twelfth man did never count himself.
'Alas!' said one to another, 'one of us is drowned.' They went back to the brook where they had been fishing, and looked up and down for him that was drowned, and made great lamentation. A courtier came riding by, and he did ask what they were seeking, and why they were so sorrowful. 'Oh,' said they, 'this day we came to fish in this brook, and there were twelve of us, and one is drowned.'
'Why,' said the courtier, 'count me how many of you there be,' and one counted eleven and did not count himself. 'Well,' said the courtier, 'what will you give me if I find the twelfth man?'
'Sir,' said they, 'all the money we have.'
'Give me the money,' said the courtier; and he began with the first, and gave him a whack over the shoulders that he groaned, and said, 'There is one,' and he served all of them that they groaned; but when he came to the last he gave him a good blow, saying, 'Here is the twelfth man.'
'God bless you on your heart,' said all the company; 'you have found our neighbour.'

Modular symbols attached to elliptic curves over \(\QQ\)#
To an elliptic curve \(E\) over the rational numbers with conductor \(N\), one can associate a space of modular symbols of level \(N\), because \(E\) is known to be modular. The space is two-dimensional and contains a subspace on which complex conjugation acts as multiplication by \(+1\) and one on which it acts by \(-1\).
There are three implementations of modular symbols, two within
Sage
and one in Cremona’s eclib
library.
One can choose here which one is used.
Associated to \(E\) there is a canonical generator in each space. They are maps \([.]^+\) and \([.]^{-}\), both \(\QQ \to\QQ\). They are normalized such that
where \(f\) is the newform associated to the isogeny class of \(E\) and \(\Omega^{+}\) is the smallest positive period of the Néron differential of \(E\) and \(\Omega^{-}\) is the smallest positive purely imaginary period. Note that it depends on \(E\) rather than on its isogeny class.
From eclib
version v20161230, both plus and minus symbols are
available and are correctly normalized. In the Sage
implementation, the computation of the space provides initial
generators which are not necessarily correctly normalized; here we
implement two methods that try to find the correct scaling factor.
Modular symbols are used to compute \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions.
EXAMPLES:
sage: E = EllipticCurve("19a1")
sage: m = E.modular_symbol()
sage: m(0)
1/3
sage: m(1/17)
-2/3
sage: m2 = E.modular_symbol(-1, implementation="sage")
sage: m2(0)
0
sage: m2(1/5)
1/2
sage: V = E.modular_symbol_space()
sage: V
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 1 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 2
for Gamma_0(19) of weight 2 with sign 1 over Rational Field
sage: V.q_eigenform(30)
q - 2*q^3 - 2*q^4 + 3*q^5 - q^7 + q^9 + 3*q^11 + 4*q^12 - 4*q^13 - 6*q^15 + 4*q^16
- 3*q^17 + q^19 - 6*q^20 + 2*q^21 + 4*q^25 + 4*q^27 + 2*q^28 + 6*q^29 + O(q^30)

- class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.ell_modular_symbols.ModularSymbol#
Bases:
SageObject
A modular symbol attached to an elliptic curve, which is the map \(\QQ\to \QQ\) obtained by sending \(r\) to the normalized symmetrized (or anti-symmetrized) integral \(\infty\) to \(r\).
This is as defined in [MTT1986], but normalized to depend on the curve and not only its isogeny class as in [SW2013].
See the documentation of
E.modular_symbol()
in elliptic curves over the rational numbers for help.- base_ring()#
Return the base ring for this modular symbol.
EXAMPLES:
sage: m = EllipticCurve('11a1').modular_symbol() sage: m.base_ring() Rational Field
- elliptic_curve()#
Return the elliptic curve of this modular symbol.
EXAMPLES:
sage: m = EllipticCurve('11a1').modular_symbol() sage: m.elliptic_curve() Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field
- sign()#
Return the sign of this elliptic curve modular symbol.
EXAMPLES:
sage: m = EllipticCurve('11a1').modular_symbol() sage: m.sign() 1 sage: m = EllipticCurve('11a1').modular_symbol(sign=-1, implementation="sage") sage: m.sign() -1

Bases:
ModularSymbol
Modular symbols attached to \(E\) using
eclib
.Note that the normalization used within
eclib
differs from the normalization chosen here by a factor of 2 in the case of elliptic curves with negative discriminant (with one real component) since the convention there is to write the above integral as \([r]^{+}x+[r]^{-}yi\), where the lattice is \(\left<2x,x+yi\right>\), so that \(\Omega^{+}=2x\) and \(\Omega^{-}=2yi\). We allow for this below.INPUT:
E
– an elliptic curvesign
– an integer, -1 or 1nap
– (int, default 1000): the number of ap of E to use in determining the normalisation of the modular symbols.
EXAMPLES:
sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.ell_modular_symbols import ModularSymbolECLIB sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1') sage: M = ModularSymbolECLIB(E,+1) sage: M Modular symbol with sign 1 over Rational Field attached to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field sage: M(0) 1/5 sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a2') sage: M = ModularSymbolECLIB(E,+1) sage: M(0) 1
This is a rank 1 case with vanishing positive twists:
sage: E = EllipticCurve('121b1') sage: M = ModularSymbolECLIB(E,+1) sage: M(0) 0 sage: M(1/7) 1/2 sage: M = EllipticCurve('121d1').modular_symbol(implementation="eclib") sage: M(0) 2 sage: E = EllipticCurve('15a1') sage: [C.modular_symbol(implementation="eclib")(0) for C in E.isogeny_class()] [1/4, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/8, 1/16, 1/2, 1]
Since github issue #10256, the interface for negative modular symbols in eclib is available:
sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1') sage: Mplus = E.modular_symbol(+1); Mplus Modular symbol with sign 1 over Rational Field attached to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field sage: [Mplus(1/i) for i in [1..11]] [1/5, -4/5, -3/10, 7/10, 6/5, 6/5, 7/10, -3/10, -4/5, 1/5, 0] sage: Mminus = E.modular_symbol(-1); Mminus Modular symbol with sign -1 over Rational Field attached to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field sage: [Mminus(1/i) for i in [1..11]] [0, 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, -1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0]
The scaling factor relative to eclib’s normalization is 1/2 for curves of negative discriminant:
sage: [E.discriminant() for E in cremona_curves([14])] [-21952, 941192, -1835008, -28, 25088, 98] sage: [E.modular_symbol()._scaling for E in cremona_curves([14])] [1/2, 1, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1]
TESTS (for github issue #10236):
sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1') sage: m = E.modular_symbol(implementation="eclib") sage: m(1/7) 7/10 sage: m(0) 1/5
If
nap
is too small, the normalization in eclib used to be incorrect (see github issue #31317), but sinceeclib
version v20210310 the value ofnap
is increased automatically byeclib
:sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.ell_modular_symbols import ModularSymbolECLIB sage: E = EllipticCurve('1590g1') sage: m = ModularSymbolECLIB(E, sign=+1, nap=300) sage: [m(a/5) for a in [1..4]] [13/2, -13/2, -13/2, 13/2]
These values are correct, and increasing
nap
has no effect. The correct values may verified by the numerical implementation:sage: m = ModularSymbolECLIB(E, sign=+1, nap=400) sage: [m(a/5) for a in [1..4]] [13/2, -13/2, -13/2, 13/2] sage: m = E.modular_symbol(implementation='num') sage: [m(a/5) for a in [1..4]] [13/2, -13/2, -13/2, 13/2]
- class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.ell_modular_symbols.ModularSymbolSage(E, sign, normalize='L_ratio')#
Bases:
ModularSymbol
Modular symbols attached to \(E\) using
sage
.INPUT:
E
– an elliptic curvesign
– an integer, -1 or 1normalize
– either ‘L_ratio’ (default), ‘period’, or ‘none’; For ‘L_ratio’, the modular symbol is correctly normalized by comparing it to the quotient of \(L(E,1)\) by the least positive period for the curve and some small twists. The normalization ‘period’ uses the integral_period_map for modular symbols and is known to be equal to the above normalization up to the sign and a possible power of 2. For ‘none’, the modular symbol is almost certainly not correctly normalized, i.e. all values will be a fixed scalar multiple of what they should be. But the initial computation of the modular symbol is much faster, though evaluation of it after computing it won’t be any faster.
EXAMPLES:
sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1') sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.ell_modular_symbols import ModularSymbolSage sage: M = ModularSymbolSage(E, +1) sage: M Modular symbol with sign 1 over Rational Field attached to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field sage: M(0) 1/5 sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a2') sage: M = ModularSymbolSage(E, +1) sage: M(0) 1 sage: M = ModularSymbolSage(E, -1) sage: M(1/3) 1/2
This is a rank 1 case with vanishing positive twists. The modular symbol is adjusted by -2:
sage: E = EllipticCurve('121b1') sage: M = ModularSymbolSage(E, -1, normalize='L_ratio') sage: M(1/3) 1 sage: M._scaling 1 sage: M = EllipticCurve('121d1').modular_symbol(implementation="sage") sage: M(0) 2 sage: M = EllipticCurve('121d1').modular_symbol(implementation="sage", ....: normalize='none') sage: M(0) 1 sage: E = EllipticCurve('15a1') sage: [C.modular_symbol(implementation="sage", normalize='L_ratio')(0) ....: for C in E.isogeny_class()] [1/4, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/8, 1/16, 1/2, 1] sage: [C.modular_symbol(implementation="sage", normalize='period')(0) ....: for C in E.isogeny_class()] [1/8, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/16, 1/32, 1/4, 1/2] sage: [C.modular_symbol(implementation="sage", normalize='none')(0) ....: for C in E.isogeny_class()] [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]

So I'm supposed to make my blog look more professional. I think the main thing about it was that it looked unfinished. I changed the background colour, link interaction, and changed the font. Although I'm trying to keep a minimalistic look to my site, I think I could add more design to my header by adding a logo of some sort. That will be my next project for the site.
This time around, I mainly worked on making the overall site look better. I did some research into the types of fonts that you should use, and I chose one which I think is easy to read.
After a few weeks of playing around with my site, I'm also finally starting to get more comfortable with CSS. Except these last two weeks I was introduced to JavaScript and jQuery, so now I need to do more reading into those and incorporate them into my site.
Since this site is to showcase my progression as a developer, I don't think it will ever be finished. It'll just be iteration after iteration. I've barely begun my journey as a coder, but tomorrow I finally set foot in DBC. Looking forward to these coming weeks!

Gerard Butler stuns fans with surprise visit to Bearsden coffee shop
The Scottish actor surprised staff and punters at Grace and Favour Coffee Shop.
by Kathleen SpeirsGerard Butler brought a bit of Hollywood glamour to a coffee shop in East Dumbartonshire.
The Scottish actor surprised staff and punters at Grace and Favour Coffee Shop in Bearsden on Thursday afternoon.
Baristas at the joint on Roman Road at Bearsden Cross couldn't wait to grab a quick selfie with their special visitor.
A photo of two female workers and Gerard, 49,who sported a leather jacket and black baseball cap.
The post read, 'Dish of the day' with the love heart eyes emoji.
Gerard, who hails from Elderslie in Renfrewshire, devides his time between Loss Angeles and Glasgow.


| new {methods} | R Documentation |
A call to new
returns a newly allocated object from the
class identified by the first argument. This call in turn calls the
method for the generic function initialize
corresponding to
the specified class, passing the ...
arguments to this
method.
In the default method for initialize()
, named arguments provide
values for the corresponding slots and unnamed arguments must be
objects from superclasses of this class.
A call to a generating function for a class (see
setClass
) will pass its ... arguments to a corresponding call to new()
.
new(Class, ...) initialize(.Object, ...)
Class |
either the name of a class, a |
... |
arguments to specify properties of the new object, to
be passed to |
.Object |
An object: see the “Initialize Methods” section. |
The generic function initialize
is not called directly.
A call to new
begins by copying the prototype object from
the class definition, and then calls intialize()
with this
object as the first argument, followed by the ... arguments.
The interpretation of the ...
arguments in a call to a
generator function or to new()
can be specialized to
particular classes, by defining an appropriate method for "initialize"
.
In the default method, unnamed arguments in the ...
are interpreted as
objects from a superclass, and named arguments are interpreted as
objects to be assigned into the correspondingly named slots.
Explicitly specified slots override inherited information for the same slot,
regardless of the order in which the arguments appear.
The initialize
methods do not have to have ...
as
their second argument (see the examples). Initialize methods are
often written when the natural parameters describing the new object
are not the names of the slots. If you do define such a method,
you should include ...
as a formal argument, and your method should pass such
arguments along via callNextMethod
.
This helps the definition of future subclasses of your class. If these
have additional slots and your method
does not have this argument, it will be difficult for these
slots to be included in an initializing call.
See
initialize-methods
for a discussion of some classes with existing
methods.
Methods for initialize
can be inherited only by simple
inheritance, since it is a requirement that the method return an
object from the target class. See the
simpleInheritanceOnly
argument to setGeneric
and
the discussion in setIs
for the general concept.
Note that the basic vector classes, "numeric"
, etc. are
implicitly defined, so one can use new
for these classes.
The ... arguments are interpreted as objects of this type and are
concatenated into the resulting vector.

Use the bounding box tool to draw boxes around the faces
Detailed Instructions
- Begin by carefully examining the entire image.
- When you indentify a human face, draw a rectangle using your mouse over it
- Make sure the box does not cut into the face and leave a 2 - 3 pixel margin around the face
-
When there are overlapping faces, draw a box around each face,
include all contiguous parts of the target in the box.
Do not include parts that are completely overlapped by another object.
-
Do not include parts of the target that cannot be seen,
even though you think you can interpolate the whole shape of the face
- If the face goes partially off screen, still label up to the edge of the image

Introduction
This document briefly introduces the IEEE 802.3u MII standard and provides fully functional VHDL source code for interfacing with an MII-based transceiver. While the provided code could potentially be used in a 100 Mb/s implementation, a few minor changes would have to be made. This design has only been simulated and physically tested at 10 Mbit/s.
Medium-Independent Interface (MII) is the IEEE standard interface between
the MAC (controller) and PHY (transceiver) layers of a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet
implementation, defined in the IEEE 802.3u standard. It is a 4-bit
wide parallel interface.
Signals
The MII standard defines the following signals:
| Signal | Input/Output
(from MAC's perspective) |
Purpose |
| MDIO | I/O | Serial control line used to set/read internal register values in the MII compliant transceiver. |
| MDC | O | Control line clock. All transitions on MDIO are synchronous to this clock signal. This clock must run no faster than 2.5 MHz. |
| RXD[3 downto 0] | I | nibble-wide data read by the MAC layer on the rising edge of RXCLK. |
| RXDV | I | Indicates when data on RXD is valid. |
| RXCLK | I | Clock signal, either 2.5 or 25 MHz (10/100 Mbit, respectively) provided by PHY. All RXD transitions are synchronous to this clock. |
| RXER | I | Defined for 100 Mbit/s transmission only. Indicates certain types of errors in receive stream. |
| TXER | O | Defined for 100 Mbit/s transmission only. Forces generation of error in transmit stream. See IEEE 802.3u for a more complete description. |
| TXCLK | I | Clock signal, either 2.5 or 25 MHz (10/100 Mbit, respectively) provided by PHY. All TXD transitions are synchronous to this clock. |
| TXEN | O | Enables transmission of the nibble appearing on TXD[3 downto 0]. |
| TXD[3 downto 0] | O | nibble-wide data read by PHY on rising edge of TXD. |
| COL | I | Defined in half-duplex mode only. Indicates a collision was detected by PHY. |
| CRS | I | Carrier Sense. Indicates that the physical Ethernet medium is busy. |
Note that no guarantees are made about the phase relationship between TXCLK and RXCLK.
All the above signals, save MDIO, MDC, RXER, and TXER are defined as
inputs or output to the Ethernet module provided below. RXER and
TXER are not needed for a 10 Mbit/s implementation. MDIO and MDC
are not needed in a minimal implementation (such as the one provided in
the Ethernet module below) because the transceiver registers have convenient
default values. The Ethernet module instantiates various components
defined in eth_pkg.vhd.
Receiving Data
The 802.3u standard indicates that the data received on the RXD[3 downto 0] data lines is properly bit-aligned, meaning that each 4-bit nibble is either the lower 4 bits or upper 4 bits of a transmitted byte of data. The lower 4 bits are received first, then the upper 4 bits. For example, if the following nibbles (in hexadecimal) were received: "8", "9", "A", "B", the bytes transmitted were "0x98" and "0xBA".
The format of Ethernet frames is described in an earlier
student application note. Essentially, the frame begins with 15 consecutive
"0101" preamble nibbles, followed by a "1101", then the data. The MII standard
does not specify how many of the 15 preamble nibbles will appear at RXD[3
downto 0]. In order to receive data, the MAC must wait for RXDV to be high
and RXD[3 downto 0] to be "1101". The nibble after "1101" is the first
valid data nibble. Specifically, it is the low 4 bits of the first byte
of the destination MAC address of the Ethernet frame. Refer to the previously
mentioned student application note for more information on the Ethernet
frame format.
Transmitting Data
Data appearing on the TXD[3 downto 0] lines is transmitted when TXEN is high. The least significant 4 bits should be sent before the most significant 4 bits for each byte. To transmit 0xB8, for example, the nibble "8" should be sent, then "B".
Before any data can be sent, the MAC is responsible for first transmitting
a valid preamble and start-of-frame delimiter (15 x "0101" + "1101"). In
order for the Ethernet frame to be valid, TXEN must remain high for the
entire duration of the frame, which means the data appearing at TXD[3 downto
0] must be ready on every TXCLK cycle (400ns clock period).
Ethernet Module
The Ethernet module that we wrote provides an even simpler interface to an MII transceiver. The intention of our module is to provide transceiver input/output synchronisation, byte-wide communication, and preamble generation.
Signals
The Ethernet module has two sets of signals, the MII signals and the
internal interface signals. The MII signals used are a subset of those
described in the standard, because for most Ethernet implementations, some
of the signals are unnecessary. The MII signals we use and the corresponding
VHDL signal name are given below:
| MII Signal | VHDL Signal |
| RXCLK | rxclk |
| RXDV | rxdv_4 |
| RXD[3 downto 0] | rxdata_4(3 downto 0) |
| TXCLK | txclk |
| TXEN | txen_4 |
| TXD[3 downto 0] | txdata_4(3 downto 0) |
| COL | col |
The signals provided to the designer are the following:
| VHDL Signal | Description |
| clk | System clock. Must be 2.5 Mhz for proper 10Mbit operation, or 25MHz for 100 Mbit operation. |
| reset | Active high asynchronous reset |
| sync_clk | Synchronising clock, used to synchronise rxclk and txclk to the system clock, clk. Should be 10x the frequency of the system clock |
| rxdv | Indicates a byte of data is ready to be read |
| rxdata(7 downto 0) | Byte of received data |
| txen | When this signal first goes from low to high, a preamble is generated and transmitted. 8 byte times later, bytes are read from txdata(7 downto 0) and transmitted. Transmission ceases when txen goes low. |
| txdata(7 downto 0) | Byte of data to be transmitted |
| drop | Indicates the current frame should be dropped. |
These signals are all clocked on the clk signal, with the exception of the asynchronous reset and the synchronisation clock.
An important limitation of the ethernet module is that bytes must be
sent only every second clock cycle. This is simply because Ethernet transmission
is only 4 bits/clk, so bytes can be transmitted only every 2 clock cycles.
Code
| File | Description |
| eth_pkg.vhd | The VHDL package that contains all components of the Ethernet module |
| ethernet.vhd | Top-level ethernet entity |
| receiver.vhd | Handles reception of Ethernet frames, takes 4-bit nibbles and constructs 8-bit bytes |
| transmitter.vhd | Handles transmission of Ethernet frames, including generation of preamble/start-of-frame-delimiter. Accepts bytes and transmits nibbles. |
| sync.vhd | Synchronises all MII signals to the system clk |
| sub_sync.vhd | Used by sync to synchronise a set of signals between 2 distinct clocks of the same frequency/period |

In this section, we will cover the following topics:
- Introduction of Jey-mart - a brief introduction on the
components of the eCommerce website
- Searchbar and its auto-completion - to get
auto-completion feature added for the searchbar component
- Facets - aggregations that provide valuable information
in decision making
- Top hits - returning the top n records from a bucket of data
Introduction to Jey-mart
Jey-mart is an imaginary eCommerce store selling all sorts of products
ranging from clothings (fashion category) to biscuits (food category).
Basically there are 3 areas / components on the landing page namely:
- 1. searchbar
- 2. facets area
- 3. listing top 4 area
Each of the above areas / components' features and implementation would be
explained in their own sections.
PS. The data involved for the app is completely created from scratch
(using simple random algorithms to generate the contents) and hence,
some data might look strange
.
PS. The view technology stack chosen for the app is
Vue.js.
Vue is chosen by its simplicity and capabilities (would say Vue has the
merits of
Ng4 -
client side application architecture and
react.js -
component awared development).
In this course, we would focus on how to integrate
Elasticsearch's queries and aggregations with the
view stack technology (could be any framework rather than Vue.js), hence
the techniques or approaches of the view side would be skipped. But do feel
free to look into the client side code on how the components are created
.
Searchbar and auto-completion
Searchbar component consists of 1 aggregation and 1 query. The "categories"
list is retreived through an
aggregation (Terms aggregation),
whilst the auto-completion feature is provided by running a
suggestion query whenever the contents inside the
searchbar textbox has changed.
Let's start with the "categories" aggregation. As explained in earlier
chapters of the course, aggregation returns statistical values from
buckets of data (default stats is
"count" of documents).
Terms aggregation creates buckets based on the textual values of a
given field within an index; in this case we are going to use
"k_category" field from the
"odt_jeymart_items"
index. The aggregation is as follows:
GET jeymart_item/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"_cats": {
"terms": {
"field": "k_category",
"size": 20,
"order": {
"_key": "asc"
}
}
}
}
}
Now we get back the list of categories for the searchbar component. Do note
that we have an "order" clause for sorting on the aggregation buckets;
in this case we simply sort by the textual values of the buckets instead of
by count - use
_key to refer to the textual value.
Next, we are going to take a look on how the "suggestion" query would
look like.
GET odt_jeymart_items/_search
{
"suggest": {
"_suggestions": {
"prefix": "pea",
"completion": {
"field": "t_description.suggest"
}
}
}
}
You can see a "suggestion" is a kind of query as well, the
prefix
parameter is the text typed in by the user and we are using this text to
act as the "prefix" of our auto-completion suggestions.
completion.field
tells Elasticsearch which field we are going to check for the suggestions.
For more information about the index level mappings for the completion field,
please read
"chapter 4 - case study, eCommerce website".
Facets
What is "facets"? According to Wikipedia:
Faceted search, also called faceted navigation or faceted browsing,
is a technique for accessing information organized according to a
faceted classification system, allowing users to
explore a collection of information by applying
multiple filters. A faceted classification system
classifies each information element along multiple explicit dimensions,
called facets, enabling the classifications to be accessed
and ordered in multiple ways rather than in a single, pre-determined, taxonomic order.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search
So make it simple, facets provides us different ways to interprete the
data set we have. In Jey-mart, we provide 2 facets information namely
"categories" and
"brands". So why is facets
important to the eCommerce website? The 1st thing is you don't need to
search for anything beforehand and some basic statistical values are
already available for you (in our case, the
"count" of
documents within the category or brand are always available). By then, if
you changed the searching criteria for the search, the corresponding facets
information (count in this case) should also be updated as well; this is
again very informational as you now know exactly how many products a certain
brand has a match with your search criteria (update on the fly).
As you could guess, the facets are again
aggregations and in this
case we are using the
"count" metric. Example on the "brand"
facets as follows:
GET odt_jeymart_items/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"_cats": {
"terms": {
"field": "s_brand_name.keyword",
"size": 20,
"order": {
"_count": "desc"
}
}
}
}
}
1 important point to note about Terms aggregation is that only
"exact values" could be aggregated; that's why we are using
"s_brand_name.keyword" as the field. The reason is simple, if
we are using a
text-analyzed field, which means all the contents within this
field has been lowercased or even stemmed, there is no way for us to
evaluate and compare if the values from document 1 and document 2 are
actually referring to the same values. Hence to make our life easier,
we can only use
NON text-analyzed fields to do the aggregation.
Top Hits aggregation
If you still remember for most aggregations, only a statistical value would
be returned per bucket. There are cases when we need to get back the actual
documents composited this bucket; with this intention, we need to know
the "top hits" aggregation.
GET odt_jeymart_user_trx/_search
{
"size": 0,
"aggs": {
"_cats": {
"terms": {
"field": "k_category",
"size": 5,
"order": {
"_qty": "desc"
}
},
"aggs": {
"_qty": {
"sum": {
"field": "i_qty"
}
},
"_top5": {
"top_hits": {
"size": 4,
"sort": [
{
"i_rating": "desc"
},
{
"i_qty": "desc"
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
}
The aggregation this time is much more complex than we had seen before. We
have created 1 level of bucket and 2 metrics; we started by
creating the 1st level of bucket based on the categories (
k_category)
and we are targeting 5 categories only. Then we create the 1st metric based
on the
sum of the quantities (
i_qty) sold, the
metric value is re-used as the sorting criteria for the
k_category
buckets (remember we are targeting the top 5 categories based
on the value of each buckets' sum of quantities sold). Finally, we create
the
"top hits" metrics so that we could get back the top 4 documents
compositing its corresponding bucket.
Summary
Cool! In this section, we have covered and run through
Terms Aggregation,
Auto-Completion Suggestion Query,
Nested Aggregation concepts and
Top Hits Aggregation.
Interesting! In the RDBMS world, we perform all these things in "searches",
but when using
Elasticsearch we actually used a lot of
aggregations too (even though aggregations and suggestions are also a
kind of query / search). In the next section, we are going to look into
the query(s) for Jey-mart eCommerce website.
Happy Searching

THE NEWTON BOYS
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING: *** OUT OF ****
United States, 1998 U.S. Release Date: 3/20/98 (wide) Running Length: 2:02 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Skeet Ulrich, Dwight Yoakam, Julianna Margulies, Chloe Webb, Charles Gunning Director: Richard Linklater Producer: Anne Walker-McBay Screenplay: Claude Stanush, Clark McBay, Richard Linklater Music: Danny Barnes U.S. Distributor: 20th Century Fox
THE NEWTON BOYS illustrates that it's possible to make a film about gangsters and gunplay without an abundance of bloodshed, violence, and death. In fact, for this account, which depicts "the true story of the most successful bank robbers in the history of the United States," director Richard Linklater has consciously kept the tone playful. That's not to say that THE NEWTON BOYS doesn't have its grim moments, but Linklater limits the shadows. The result is a fast-paced, entertaining motion picture that replaces gritty tension with a lightly- dramatic character interaction that occasionally borders on straight comedy.
The real Newton Boys started their crime spree in 1919, and finished it five years later, in 1924. During that time, the four brothers -- Joe (Skeet Ulrich), Jesse (Ethan Hawke), Willis (Matthew McConaughey), and Dock (Vincent D'Onofrio) -- and explosives expert Glasscock (Dwight Yoakam) broke into more than 80 banks and committed the largest train robbery in U.S. history -- the famous June 12, 1924 Rondout Robbery. Their illegal activities took them from their native Texas, through dozens of small towns and major cities all across the country, and into Canada. Linklater's film recounts the Newton gang's exploits with all of the fondness of a grandfather relating a favorite story to a child.
One thing that differentiates the Newton Boys from America's numerous, other well-known bandits is that they never killed anyone. They used guns, but rarely fired them, and almost never at a living target. All they wanted was the money, and they were often kind to the men they held at gunpoint. Moreover, they viewed themselves as champions of the undertrodden -- little thieves stealing from big thieves (the companies insuring the banks). Linklater presents all four brothers as happy, good-natured fellows -- the kind of guys no one would mind hanging out with.
The violence in the film is kept to a minimum, and, while THE NEWTON BOYS depicts a few of the robberies from start-to-finish, most transpire as part of a montage that shows images of money, exploding safes, and newspaper headlines. The film's narrative spotlight shines brightest on Willis, but finds time to illuminate the other three brothers, as well. Since it spans a five-year period, THE NEWTON BOYS is understandably episodic. Several key events from the characters' lives are highlighted. There's even time for a love story -- that of Willis and an attractive single mother (Julianna Margulies) he falls for in Omaha.
To emphasize THE NEWTON BOYS' cheerful nature, Danny Barnes' score remains upbeat. Linklater opens the film to this music with credits designed to evoke memories of the silent era. The end credits are no less interesting, since they feature a series of video clips of interviews with the real Willis and Joe (the former from a 1975 documentary; the latter from an appearance on an episode of THE TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson). In addition to assuring that no one will leave the movie early, these excerpts deepen the sense of closure offered by the series of captions that finish the narrative.
None of the actors in THE NEWTON BOYS gives a standout performance, but no one seems miscast, either. Linklater has gone with a group of hot, young stars. Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, and Skeet Ulrich are all desirable names to have on a marquee. The lower-profile Vincent D'Onofrio (last seen as the hulking villain in MEN IN BLACK) gives the strongest performance of the lead quartet, and Dwight Yoakam proves that his work in SLING BLADE wasn't a fluke. Julianna Margulies, the E.R. actress who is beginning to forge a big-screen name for herself, provides solid support for the mostly-male cast.
The film is something of a departure for Linklater, whose previous efforts (including SLACKER, BEFORE SUNRISE, and SUBURBIA) have been dialogue-and-character-centered pieces, whereas THE NEWTON BOYS' greatest strengths are tone and narrative. Going into the film, I knew little about the Newtons (except that they were pre-Depression era bank robbers), and, while I'm always wary of being "educated" by fact-based motion pictures (no matter how scrupulously they have been researched), I left the theater with a better idea of who these men were. More importantly, I was entertained, and, for that pleasure, I can forgive any dramatic license that Linklater may have taken.
