In time the program accumulated several other modules, with the mathematics described in interim O.N. articles. When issued for the BBC micro the program acquired the name "PLAN10", and later "PLAN13", and it's been transcribed for several other machines including the IBM-PC and Commodore 64 etc.
In recent years or so my mail has featured more and more queries about tracking matters than was usual. The flavour of these suggests that a new generation of satellite enthusiasts is emerging and are rightly asking the old questions anew.
So for a long while I've been intending to re-publish these routines, but in their most up-to-date embodiment. Hence this pamphlet. I don't intend to provide 100% mathematical details. To do so means essentially writing the whole program out anyway, and references are plentiful.
Old hands will recognise the coding style. Additions include the Sun's position, eclipses, visibility, Sun angle, sub-satellite point, mode switching, date algorithms and direct range-rate calculations for doppler shift.
Almost every publication to do with satellites has information about orbits and their properties. For general reading The Satellite Experimenter's Handbook [2] is unsurpassed, and itself documents several hundred references. Fundamentals of Astrodynamics [3] is a no-nonsense text that's full of insights, and is incredibly cheap.
Models for the Propagation of NORAD Element Sets [4] documents five ways to use a set of keps properly. SGP, the simplest model, runs to 4 pages of higher mathematics just to compute satellite position and velocity. All amateur implementations (i.e. lines 2000-2210 of PROCsatvec) use only the first half page of this, skipping the long term perturbatory effects. Sun's Up [5] is about modelling the Sun's position, and describes applications including illumination and eclipses. 30.6 days Hath September [6] documents date algorithms. The Astronomical Almanac [7] is invaluable for checking calculations; an annual, but useful for many years.
Surprisingly when OSCAR10.BAS was published there were complaints that "filling Oscar News with programs was a waste of space" etc etc. My reply to this myopic view was, and remains:
"The program was designed to be more than a mere listing to be blindly typed in and run. It is a treatise giving all the equations for solving the elliptic orbit and related problems. To do this, as well as provide a tool suitable for immediate use the program was written in a quasi-algebraic style. Variable names were chosen to be meaningful, there are copious comments, and routines are written so that users can adapt them as they wish. However the published arrangement is not the only one. The program is a clear formulation of the general satellite orbit problem, and is sure to provide the interested amateur with several months of absorbing self-training material". Plunder! Enjoy!

MA is mean anomaly in units of 256 per orbit. SQ is squint angle, RR is range rate (km/s), ECL? will indicate if the satellite is in eclipse, or whether it is potentially visible. HGT is height (km), and SLAT SLON are sub-satellite latitude and longitude (deg East).
PROCinit (lines 1000-1840): All the constants needed by the routines are established here. Most relate to a physical quantity, but are then combined with others or need units changing to form a derived quantity. Some of these constants are only used transiently within "init" itself, but are included for clarity.
PROCsatvec (lines 2000-2430): Takes input variables day (DN) and fraction of day (TN) and computes satellite position, velocity and antenna direction in orbit plane coordinates. These are then output in celestial coordinates and geocentric coordinates.
PROCrangevec (lines 4000-4200): Calculates Range vector from satellite and observer vector, and derives range, azimuth, elevation, squint, range rate and sub-satellite point.
PROCsunvec (lines 3000-3260): Computes Sun's position in celestial coordinates, and then Sun angle, illumination, visibility and eclipse details. Actual visibility also depends on brightness of satellite, and darkness of sky.
FNday(Y,M,D) Function returns a general day number from year, month and day. Value is Julian Day - 1721409.5 or Amsat day + 722100

In earlier versions of the program, the conversion of a vector from Orbit plane coordinates to Celestial coordinates was written out stage by stage. That is, a rotation in argument of perigee, followed by a rotation through inclination, and finally through RAAN. Since there are actually several vectors (satellite position, velocity and antenna axis) to transform, this became a little clumsy, so the three rotations are now amalgamated into one. The array [C] that does this is computed at lines 2260-2290.
Celestial -> Orbit Plane Coordinate Transformation
The array [C] can also be used in the reverse direction, to convert a vector from Celestial to Orbit plane coordinates. This is done by "transposing the array", using C(J,I) for C(I,J) throughout. This is used to calculate the Sun's position as seen from the orbit plane (lines 3210-3240).
Decay
The Keplerian element DECAY is half the rate of change of mean motion. DECAY is usually very small, of order 10^-7, and its short term influence is small. For example, MA is affected by an amount DECAY*T*T over T days. Over 100 days that makes 10^-7*100*100 = 0.001 revolutions, or about 7.2 seconds for a 2 hour period satellite.
Decay is only really significant for low altitude satellites such as the space shuttle, ISS, or satellites nearing burn-up. Then the value can be as large as 10^-4. This causes in addition a noticeable second order effect on semi-major axis, argument of perigee and RAAN. The program accounts for this with terms calculated at line 2030.
For many purposes, especially if the Keplerian elements are regularly updated, drag can be ignored. This is true in particular for Oscar-13, where the unmodelled luni-solar perturbations are substantially larger than "decay".
Doppler Shift
The program calculates range-rate RR (line 4190) in km/s. If a
satellite transmits a frequency FT, then this is received as a frequency
FR:
FR = FT * (1 - RR/299792). [Note: 299792 is the speed of light in km/s]
Thus the "doppler shift" FD is given by: FD = -FT*RR/299792.
The calculation of range-rate is accurate in vacuo. However, at low elevations the radio path through the Earth's atmosphere is not perfectly straight. This refraction causes the actual observed doppler shift at AOS and LOS to be as much as 1 part in 10^7 in error, say 50-100 Hz at 435 MHz. It should also be noted that simple crystal oscillators have a similar order of stability, and satellites usually experience large temperature changes.
Footprint
In some programs there is a requirement to draw a circle around the sub- satellite point to indicate the field of view of the satellite. The following routine indicates how to do this. It is coded for clarity, not for speed. It would be better to store SIN(A) and COS(A) in a table rather than compute them every call. Since the footprint is left-right symmetric, only one half of the circle's points need be computed, and the other half can be inferred logically.
The sub-routine's output is a unit vector {X,Y,Z} in geocentric coordinates for the I'th point on the Earth's surface. This will then need transforming to map coordinates (mercator, spherical, linear or whatever), and then screen coordinates to suit the computer.

NEXT I ENDPROC
Squint Angle
Squint (or pointing) angle is the angle between the spacecraft's antenna and the observer. This is calculated at line 4120 for Oscar-13's high-gain antennas. As the low gain antennas are simple monopoles radiating normal to the a axis, low-gain squint is given by:
SQ_low_gain = 90 - SQ_high_gain (deg)Some satellites are stabilised so that they are continuously Earth pointing (e. g. UOSATs). For these, the antenna axis unit vector is aligned with the spacecraft's position vector, i.e. a = -s So to calculate the squint angle for these satellites use the formula:
4120 SQ = DEG(ACS( (Sx*Rx + Sy*Ry + SZ*Rz)/RS )) (deg)Sun Model and Sidereal Constants
The calculations of Earth rotation and Sun position are the most accurate part of this program! There is no need to update the solar constants at lines 1630-1660 for several decades.
This program was written and evolved over a period of years from 1983 to 1990. Constructive comment and suggestions are welcome.

I've never been one to subscribe to any kind of standardized rules for filmmaking, but one thing I do believe is that every movie should have a point. Otherwise, it's just a waste of time.
While some movies may exist simply as eye-candy and may not persue any lofty, artistic objectives, at least they have their sights set on something - entertainment. What's so frustrating about Alan Parker's latest film, Angela's Ashes, is that it's void of any narrative aspirations whatsoever. While it may be full of outstanding performances and skillful direction, all it really amounts to is two hours and twenty minutes of rain, sickness, death, rain, and humiliation. Did I mention the rain?
Perhaps all this is supposed to serve as a metaphor for the poverty-stricken childhood of Frank McCourt, who came of age in the turbulent landscape of pre-WWII Limerick. One of six children (three of which die before the film's twenty minute mark) growing up in the Irish slums during the late 1930's, McCourt did eventually escape from poverty to America, where he wrote the best-selling memoir upon which the movie is based.
The critical cliché has been to dismiss the film version of Angela's Ashes for being dry of the apparent wit and livelihood that peppered McCourt's original memoirs. Having not read his book, I can't jump on that bandwagon, and thus wish to point out another glaring folly; while the movie is definitely without any humor or relief, it's also mind-numbing in its tedium. Really, how many times can one watch an infant die from malnutrition, only to have their father go out and drink away the family income? It's depressing, disconcerting, and, above all, totally without point. I don't need to see the same thing in succession in order to realize what a horrible childhood McCourt suffered.
Not that I have anything against films dealing with depressing themes; some of my favorite movies include such classic downers as Last Tango in Paris and Leaving Las Vegas, as well as the more recent, though equally bleak, Magnolia. What separates these films from the likes of Angela's Ashes is their tendency towards emotional catharsis. On the contrary, this film features the most anticlimactic ending in recent memory.
What disappoints me most about Angela's Ashes is the amount of talent that went into it, only to come up with something so mediocre. There's no arguing the skills of actress Emily Watson (who plays the title role of Angela), and Robert Carlyle (as the imposing drunken father) is emerging as one of the best character actors around. Indeed, they are both nearly flawless in their respective roles. With a director as talented as Alan Parker (Angel Heart, The Commitments) helming the production, you'd think that nothing could possibly go wrong.
In my eyes, many things did go wrong. But maybe, just maybe, Angela's Ashes has turned out exactly as the filmmakers intended. In fact, perhaps the movie did have a point after all - to harbor awards.  Now that it has opened, however, it has revealed itself to be a drab, murky bore.

Computer Memory To process information electronically, data are stored in a computer in the form of binary digits, or bits, each having two possible representations (0 or 1). If a second bit is added to a single bit of information, the number of representations is doubled, resulting in four possible combinations: 00, 01, 10, or 11. A third bit added to this two-bit representation again doubles the number of combinations, resulting in eight possibilities: 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, or 111. Each time a bit is added, the number of possible patterns is doubled. Eight bits is called a byte; a byte has 256 possible combinations of 0s and 1s. A byte is a useful quantity in which to store information because it provides enough possible patterns to represent the entire alphabet, in lower and upper cases, as well as numeric digits, punctuation marks, and several character-sized graphics symbols, including non-English characters such as p. A byte also can be interpreted as a pattern that represents a number between 0 and 255. A kilobyte°™1,024 bytes°™can store about 1,000 characters; a megabyte can store about 1 million characters; a gigabyte can store about 1 billion characters; and a terabyte can store about 1 trillion characters. Computer programmers usually decide how a given byte should be interpreted°™that is, as a single character, a character within a string of text, a single number, or part of a larger number. Numbers can represent anything from chemical bonds to dollar figures to colors to sounds. The physical memory of a computer is either random access memory (RAM), which can be read or changed by the user or computer, or read-only memory (ROM), which can be read by the computer but not altered in any way. One way to store memory is within the circuitry of the computer, usually in tiny computer chips that hold millions of bytes of information. The memory within these computer chips is RAM. Memory also can be stored outside the circuitry of the computer on external storage devices, such as magnetic floppy disks, which can store about 2 megabytes of information; hard drives, which can store gigabytes of information; compact discs (CDs), which can store up to 680 megabytes of information; and digital video discs (DVDs), which can store 8.5 gigabytes of information. A single CD can store nearly as much information as several hundred floppy disks, and some DVDs can hold more than 12 times as much data as a CD. |

UC San Diego ISPE
The UC San Diego International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers (ISPE) is another student organization under the Bioengineering department that is a great resource for bioengineering students. They offer resources more focused towards the pharmaceutical industry. It is primarily aimed at the Bioengineering: Biotechnology tract over the Bioengineering, Bioinformatics, and Biosystems tracts. While the events are less about building community among undergraduate students, the events are geared toward professional development, opportunities including resume workshops, information sessions, and career development workshops. BMES occasionally holds joint events with ISPE including workshops and industry panels.
Bioengineering Graduate Society
We frequently collaborate with the Bioengineering Graduate Society (BEGS) at UC San Diego, through planning events for the Bioengineering community and through networking events that allow our members to mingle. Some of these include Bioengineering Day, a department wide event, as well as our Mentor-Mentee Program. The graduate students are great mentors and examples that our undergraduate students look up to. Learn about BEGS' initiatives and how they impact the Bioengineering community.
Undergraduate Bioinformatics Club
The Undergraduate Bioinformatics Club (UBIC) caters specifically to the Bioinformatics community here at UC San Diego. They are a great resource for learning technical skills and industry opportunities through hands-on workshops and industry panels. Since the Bioinformatics major is offered in 4 different departments UBIC is a unique opportunity for these students to connect through UBIC's events. Learn more about the club as well specific opportunities they offer.
Bioengineering Undergraduate Page
The official undergraduate site for Bioengineering at UC San Diego provides official information regarding the Bioengineering program. While the pages are somewhat unorganized, the information provided is accurate. Pages ranges from prospective students to senior design descriptions encompassing the whole range of undergraduate students. The latest curriculum updates and class offerings are usually announced here.

Description
| Class Summary | |
|---|---|
| Configuration | A singleton used as a storage and retrieval of configuration parameters. |
| DeleteServlet | When recieving a GET request matching the /delete/* URI pattern, this gateway sends a HTTP DELETE request to the corresponding entity in the CRUD engine. |
| FilterUtilityMethods | This class implements the filter mechanisms in the filter application. |
| HttpFilter | This servlet implements a filtering HTTP proxy. |
| IdGenerator | This a utility that generates application wide unique numeric IDs for use in the NewFileServlet. |
| NewFileServlet | This servlet accepts GET requests on URIs matching the /new/* pattern. |
filter is a supporting web application to the mermeid MEI editing system. The two most important functions is to transform documents in between the editor and an XML CRUD engine. It supports HTTP GET and PUT.
It offers full CRUD support through three servlets
| Create | dk.kb.mermeid.filter.NewFileServlet | Supports GET and PUT. |
|---|---|---|
| Retrieve, Update | dk.kb.mermeid.filter.HttpFilter | |
| Delete | dk.kb.mermeid.filter.DeleteServlet |
Typically a new document is created by POSTing it to a CRUD engine. It will assign a name to the document and store it. eXist XML database does do this. Instead we have ensured that the mermeid form can survive an edit request for a named non-existing document. The NewFileServlet creates new unique file names and redirects a client to a form editing such a document. After the user has completed the editing, the form PUTs the content through filter to the database.
Retrieves the document from the XML store and, XSL transforms it by means of an XSLT scripts named in a JAVA and finally it delivers it to an HTTP client
filter parses the request, and will assume that the string after the last slash ('/') is an unique file name (or really a record ID) that can be used for retrieval in the XML database. The string between the two last slashes is regarded as the database name. I.e.:
http://example.org/context/<database name>/<record ID>
filter accepts PUT requests to any URI. It will XSL transform the content and save it into the database.
Requests are parsed exactly as for GET requests
Ordinary browsers do not support HTTP DELETE request. We think that is good. The eXist XML database do, however. filter can delete documents by sending a DELETE request an URI corresponding to a GET request from a user client. The DeleteServlet is basically a GET to DELETE gateway.

I like to experiment with all sorts of technologies from web to various pie's (preferably taste of raspberry)
My main expertise are in the field of software testing, prototyping and developing solutions to unsolved industry problems.
This was a tutorial I took from Udemy by Stephen Grider. I liked the way he explains and shows the inner parts how things are connected together. This one was one of the few classes that I've documented so well. Well explained concepts like reducers and actions. Check how various api's like unsplash image or youtube search is connected to your front-end as well as authentication using Google OAuth.


f(x) = expr(["+", ["*", A, ["^", "x", 2]], B])
What is the range of f(x)
?
\{\, y \in \RR \mid y
A > 0 ? "≥" : "≤"
B
\,\}
f(x) = \begin{cases}
3 * A + B & \text{if $x = HOLE$} \\
expr(["+", ["*", A, ["^", "x", 2]], B]) & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
What is the range of f(x)
?
\{\, y \in \RR \mid y
A > 0 ? "≥" : "≤"
B
\,\}
First consider the behavior for x \ne HOLE
.
If x = HOLE
, then f(x) = 3 * A + B
, but the range does not change.
\{\, y \in \RR \mid y
A > 0 ? ">" : "<"
B
\,\}
First consider the behavior for x \ne HOLE
.
If x = HOLE
, then f(x) = 3 * A + B
, which eliminates f(x) = B
from the range.
The new range is \{\, y \mid y A > 0 ? ">" : "<" B \,\}
.
Consider the range of expr(["*", A, ["^", "x", 2]])
.
The range of x^2
is \{\, y \mid y \ge 0 \,\}
. Multiplying by A
doesn't change the range.
The range of x^2
is \{\, y \mid y \ge 0 \,\}
. Multiplying by A
flips the range to \{\, y \mid y \le 0 \,\}
.
Now B > 0 ? "add" : "subtract" abs( B )
. The range becomes: \{\, y \mid y A > 0 ? "≥" : "≤" B \,\}
.

Rust is a multi-paradigm, C family language with some significant differences in semantics and syntax, focused on safety and concurrency. We'll be starting you off with basic Rust syntax, before moving through Rust's pointers, data structures, concurrency, part of the standard library, and the rest of the language. For some of the areas in which Rust is most different from other languages with which you might already be familiar, we'll try to provide examples of equivalent code in both Rust and one or two more common languages (generally, Java and C++).
At the end of the tutorial, we'll introduce a few final concepts and apply them in concert with the rest of the information you'll have learned to create an implementation of MapReduce in Rust.
This tutorial is designed to expand upon and build off of the tutorial offered at rust-lang.org, going in greater depth and (optimally) providing a better explanation of certain topics.
If you haven't already installed Rust, that would be a good first step. There are excellent guides over at the official site which should help you with this process.

In this assignment you will use OpenMP to solve part of a real problem.
The problem is small and simplified part of a tumour therapy computation . You are given a file containing the coordinates for a , fairly large, number of cells. Each line in the file contains three floating point numbers, the x-, y- and z-coordinate for the nucleus of that particular cell. The task is to write a program that computes the pairwise distances between all the cells. So, let
and
be coordinates for two cells, then your program should
compute
| (1) |
Due to symmetries in the coordinates, many of the distances are the same, so one should compute all distinct distances and the number of times each distance occurs.
Suppose that the cells are located in the corners of a cube, having side one. Looking at one corner there are three cells at a distance of one, three cells have the distance sqrt(2) and one cell is at the distance sqrt(3). Due to symmetry (there are eight corners in the cube), the distance one, and sqrt(2), occur 24 times each. sqrt(3) occurs 8 times. In this example, the program should produce a file containing:
1.00000000000000 24
1.41421356237310 24
1.73205080756888 8
n_uniq 3
sum_uniq 56
n_uniq is the number of unique distance values, and sum_uniq the total number of distance values.
The input file may look like:
0 0 0
1 0 0
1 1 0
0 1 0
0 0 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
0 1 1
In the assignment you may not use the fact that there are symmetries, so you should assume that the coordinates have random values. You should use the fact that two distance values are at least 0.01 apart. If they are closer than this, it is caused by roundoff and we regard such distances as being equal. So if one distance, in the cube, is 1.414215 and the other is 1.414213, they are regarded as being equal. sqrt(2) and sqrt(3) are more than 0.01 apart, so they are different distances.
NOTE: in the real application there would be some 700 000 cells. This makes it impossible to allocate an array to store all the distances. Such an array would require some 0.5 × 700000^2 = 2.45 × 10^11 elements (0.5, since d(cj, ck) = d(ck, cj)) . So, it is not possible to first compute all the distances and then go through the array and count the number of copies. Since this course deals with real programming, and not how to write toy programs, your code is not allowed to allocate space for all (or half of all) the distances either. In this assignment there are only some 20 000 cells, but you should think of them as being 700 000. Note that you are allowed to store the coordinates of the cells.
Write a program in C and parallelize it using OpenMP. You may assume that we will never use more than eight processors. It is not hard to get a good speedup in this application. Test your program on the provided input file, cells . To debug your program I suggest that you make a shorter file. Try not to waste energy!

| arg_match {rlang} | R Documentation |
This is equivalent to base::match.arg()
with a few differences:
Partial matches trigger an error.
Error messages are a bit more informative and obey the tidyverse standards.
arg_match()
derives the possible values from the
caller frame.
arg_match0()
is a bare-bones version if performance is at a premium.
It requires a string as arg
and explicit values
.
For convenience, arg
may also be a character vector containing
every element of values
, possibly permuted.
In this case, the first element of arg
is used.

CPR
• Remember to use ABC (airway, breathing, compressions) the order in which to perform CPR
• Lay the victim on their back and kneel next their shoulders
• (A) Open the victims airway by slightly lifting their chin
• (B) Check to see if the victim is steadly breathing, if not move on to compressions
• (C) Place your hands on top of each other and press down at least 2 inches at 100-120 beats per minute
• Use the audio player below to get the beats just right
• After 30 chest compressions pinch the nose and make sure that the chin is still tilted up
• Then deliver 2 rescue breaths and watch to see if the chest rises
• If the chest doesn't rise check their throat and make sure nothing is clogging their airway
• If water starts to come up roll the person onto their side as to drain the water so that they don't keep choking on it
• Repeat the chest compressions and rescue breaths until emergency personal arrive or the person begins breathing on their own again

El Salvador expels Venezuelan diplomats from the country
SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - El Salvador said on Saturday it had ordered Venezuela’s diplomats to leave the Central American country within 48 hours, arguing that the decision was in line with its position that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is illegitimate.
In a statement, the government said President Nayib Bukele recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president until free elections were held in the South American country. El Salvador will receive a new Venezuela diplomatic corps, named by Guaido, the government added.
“In the near future, El Salvador awaits the receipt of credentials for Venezuela’s new diplomatic representation,” the statement said.
Multiple countries have recognized Guaido, citing irregularities in Maduro’s re-election process. The opposition leader controls several Venezuelan embassies, including in the United States and Costa Rica, but has not been able to dislodge Maduro from the presidency.
The U.S. ambassador to El Salvador, Ronald Johnson, wasted little time in praising the decision.
“We applaud the government of Nayib Bukele for ensuring that El Salvador is on the right side of history by recognizing Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela,” he tweeted in Spanish shortly after El Salvador made its announcement.
The Salvadoran move came less than a week after the U.S. government extended temporary protections for Salvadorans living in the United States by an extra year.

AMORES PERROS A film review by Jeremiah Kipp Copyright 2001 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
Painted in the colors of rust, Alejandro González Iñarritu's Amores Perros is a hard-edged epic of interconnected lives in the mean streets of Mexico City. This has become a popular trend in independent films such as Wonderland and The Five Senses, not to mention big-budget blockbusters like Traffic. By blending different scenarios, there's the hope of creating a mass collage. It's not as easy to pull off as you might think -- consider the rhythm of your standard daytime soap opera.
The concept of three juxtaposed narratives, at least in the "flavor of the month" sense, can be traced to Quentin Tarantino, as can the gunslinging desperados and pop music that have become the humdrum trademark of Pulp Fiction imitators. Iñarritu is content to simply rehash those familiar elements. Perhaps that's why so much of this Academy Award nominated foreign film comes off like a movie you've seen more than once, translated a Espanol.
Despite the cinematic and structural predictability and an exhausting three hour running time, Amores Perros finds surprising flickers of humanity within the dead-end lives of ex-convicts, losers, young lovers on the lam, and hired gunmen. These almost-heroes are driven by an unfinished business of the heart, most notably the mysterious phantom hobo, El Chivo (Emilio Echevarría). He's a contract killer (yes, a homeless contract killer -- it's not played for laughs) for some elusive businessmen, but his attention is drawn away by an unexpected obituary notice that triggers memories of his long shrouded past. This sort of thing only happens in the movies, but let's cut Iñarritu some slack here.
El Chivo lurks throughout the other two stories, but only in his exclusive section (the final third of the film) does the heart and soul of Amores Perros emerge. Retribution is not seen as an easy mark, and Iñarritu puts to one side the cheap violence and sadistic humor of his previous tales, replacing it with the empathetic sorrow of a distant love ballad. Poetic and slighty cheeseball, but oh so sweet.
It's almost too little too late. Example: one of the parallel stories follows a young buck (Gael García Bernal) attempting to raise money to run away from home with his beloved sister-in-law (Vanessa Bauche). He finds a financially lucrative solution in pitting the family pet in a series of blood soaked dogfights. For all its combustive energy, it's a one-note tragedy as he makes enemies of his brother and the local goon squad. Things fall apart in a predictable hail of tears and bloodshed.
The other subplot steals images wholesale from Krzysztof Kieslowski, presenting the arid relationship of a frivolous supermodel, Valeria (Goya Toledo) and her boyfriend, a successful businessman (Alvaro Guerrero). The building block poster of Valeria across the street from her dream home is a direct lift from Red (in which Irene Jacob played a petulant model, natch). When she is hospitalized in a terrible car accident, the event that brings all of Amores Perros' characters together, it forces her to reevaluate her empty life.
The title, Amores Perros, directly translates as "Love's a Bitch." Meaning, life stinks. It also means, literally, that love is a female dog. That explains the constant presence of mutts throughout. El Chivo is surrounded by runaway scamps, the supermodel has a pampered pooch, and the young buck has his attack dog. It sounds a little too neat - and it is, really -- but the canines provide our nasty heroes someone who they can relate to with unconditional affection.
That unabashed sentiment bridges Amores Perros through the hyperkinetic overdrive of whiplash images, smash cuts, and the pulsating cacophony of street noises on the audio track. It's too much. In his eager passion to fill Amores Perros with explosive imagery, Iñarritu nearly drowns his audience in visual excess. If he doesn't watch out, he'll turn into Ridley Scott.
Let's hope not. This fresh new filmmaker does make the most of his locations, finding the epitome of downbeat urban squalor (you can almost taste the mined-in dirt), but he should have listened to Dennis Hopper's advice in Tarantino's True Romance: "Slooooooow it down, man!" He's got an eye for the strong visuals representative of the overcrowded, noisy, polluted excess of Mexico City. Now all he needs is a steady gaze.

About the ExamplesUnless otherwise noted, all examples run under Python 1.5.2 and Python 2.0. I've tried not to depend on internal details, and I expect most scripts to work with upcoming 2.x versions as well. The examples have been tested on Windows, Solaris, and Linux. Except for a few scripts that depend on platform-specific modules, the examples should work right out of the box on most other platforms as well. (If you find something that doesn't work as expected, let me know!) All code is copyrighted. Of course, you're free to use one or more modules in your own programs, just don't forget where you got them. Most script files are named after the module they're using, followed by the string "-example-" and a unique "serial number." Note that the scripts sometimes appear out of order; it's done this way on purpose, to match the filenames used in an earlier version of this book, (the eff-bot guide to) The Standard Python Library. You'll find copies of all scripts on the CD provided with this book (see http://examples.oreilly.com/pythonsl). For updates and more information, see http://www.pythonware.com/people/fredrik/librarybook.htm. That page also explains what you need to know to decrypt and unpack the archive. |

I did enjoy the experience of biking around my neighbourhood . The bike rolled well making the long distances easier.
I appreciate the support that you provided.You are great people, providing a wonderful service and the panniers were big, and easy to carry
We rented two bikes for one week to complete our 100km marathon. I can't express enough how smooth and stress-free our trip was great.
Thank you once again Pedal Fast for your extraordinary customer service in making our trip a huge success. I did enjoy the experience of biking around.
Arrival on time, Bike was new and in very good shape, selected trial couldn't be better, places I visited were great
I was worried that the hire bikes were going to be a let down, but the mountain bike I used was just as good.
Wanted to let you know that I had an awesome time and will recommend your company as my hard-tail at home.
I was worried that the hire bikes were going to be a let down, but the mountain bike I used was just as good.


USB Port Patching
macOS 10.14.1+ does not work with the USB port limit patch and therefore
there is no way to have all ports available to configure at one time. RehabMan
has updated USBInjectAll.kext to include boot flags for excluding groups of
ports
- Place the
USBInjectAll.kext (for port
discovery) into EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
- USBInjectAll.kext Requirements:
- Clover->DSDT Renames (if detected)
- XHCI -> XHC
- XHC1 -> XHC
- EHC1 -> EH01
- EHC2 -> EH02
- Reboot
- Run Hackintool then go to General->Installed to check USBInjectAll
is installed correctly
- Eg. USBInjectAll: Yes (Release-0.7.1)
- Go to the General->USB tab to check your USB Controllers list.
Based on your USB Controller you may need to install additional kexts:
- 8086:8CB1 and macOS < 10.11.1 -> XHCI-9-series.kext
- 8086:8D31, 8086:A2AF, 8086:A36D, 8086:9DED -> XHCI-unsupported.kext
- 8086:1E31, 8086:8C31, 8086:8CB1, 8086:8D31, 8086:9C31, 8086:9CB1 ->
FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext
- Reboot if you need to install one of the additional kexts then run
Hackintool again
- Go to the General->USB tab
- Select all items in the USB Ports list and select the “Delete”
then the “Refresh” button
- Reboot with -uia_exclude_ss uia_include=HS01,HS02 boot flags
- Change the HS01,HS02 ports to the ones you have your mouse and
keyboard attached
- Run Hackintool and go to the General->USB tab
- Plug and unplug a USB 2.0 device into all ports on your system
- The ports that are active will remain highlighted
green
- Delete all ports that are not highlighted green
- Reboot with -uia_exclude_hs boot flag and remove the -uia_exclude_ss
boot flag
- Run Hackintool and go to the General->USB tab
- Plug and unplug a USB 3.0 device into all ports on your system
- Plug and unplug a TypeC device into all ports (in both orientations)
- The ports that are active will remain highlighted green
- Delete all ports that are not highlighted green
- Set each port to the appropriate Connector using the drop down
list
- USB ports with devices permanently attached (eg. M.2 Bluetooth card)
should be set to “Internal”
- HSxx ports connected to USB3 ports should be set to
USB3
- Internal HUBs are typically connected to ports PR11
and PR21 and therefore should be set to “Internal”
- TypeC:
- If it uses the same HSxx/SSxx in both
orientations, then it has an internal switch (use “TypeC+Sw”)
- If it uses a different HSxx/SSxx in each
orientation, then it has no switch (use “TypeC”)
- Use the “Export” button to generate files to your Desktop
- Copy SSDT-EC.aml (if created) to
EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
- Choose one of the following two:
- Copy USBPorts.kext to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other or;
- Copy SSDT-UIAC.aml and SSDT-USBX.aml (if created)
to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
- You can now perform a clean up and remove unnecessary
files:
- Remove custom boot flags (-uia_exclude_ss -uia_exclude_hs
uia_include=x)
- Remove USBInjectAll.kext (if using USBPorts.kext)
- Reboot
- Run Hackintool and go to the General->USB tab
- Select all items in the USB Ports list and select the
“Delete” then the “Refresh” button
- Now you can check all ports are working correctly
- If you need to change a Connector type you will need to export your
USBPorts.kext over the current one
- If you made a mistake delete USBPorts.kext and start from the
beginning of the instructions again
Q. What is USBPorts.kext?
A. It's a
Codeless Kernel Extension used to inject
the USB ports
Q. Do I need SSDT-UIAC.aml?
A. No, this method uses a codeless kext

Orlovska History
>Alisa’s grandmother Ludmila, was the Prima Ballerina at the Lviv National Opera and Ballet House. She trained at the Kiev State Choreographic Academy which was merged with Kiev Conservatory, during World War Two. Ludmila studied ballet (Vaganova method, Russian Ballet), character and historical dance. She was taught by Agrippina Vaganova’s famous graduate – Klavdia Vasina. An impressive career followed, including the lead roles in: Giselle (Giselle), Swan Lake (Odette), Spartacus (Phrygia), Romeo and Juliet (Juliet), Nutcracker (Clara), Sleeping Beauty (Aurora), Peer Gynt (Solveig), The Red Poppy (Tai-Choa), The Tale of the Stone Flower (Katherine), Les Sylphides, Grand Waltz and many others. After retiring at 35 Ludmilla began her career as a teacher, teaching for 49 years- including her granddaughter, Alisa.
Lumilla’s daughter Olena, followed her mother into ballet. Her dancing education started at age 5 at the State Choreographic School in Ukraine where she studied ballet, modern and character dance. She graduated from the State Choreographic School at
the age of 16 with distinction.
In 1985, she completed her degree in ballet (Russian Ballet method -Vaganova syllabus), character and modern dance, with distinction at the Lviv College of Art and Culture. Her education continued at the Departments of Dance at the Ivan
Franko National University of Lviv. Olena became the head ballet-master and choreographer at the Lviv National Drama Theater in 2006, where she has choreographed more than 50 major shows in Ukraine.
Upon arriving in South Africa Alisa joined Mzansi dance company and also began teaching. She then became the Artistic Director of the Russian School of Ballet.
Olena began her teaching career at the age of 17 when she started working with pre-ballet groups at the State Choreographic School. She continued teaching ballet, modern and character dance at the State Choreographic School until 2006.
From 1992 to 2006 she owned and ran the Jazz and Modern Dance Company. Olena’s 37 years of experience as a dance teacher and choreographer are a great and constant inspiration to her daughter, Alisa.
Philosophy
>The Vaganova method demands a strong technical foundation. technically correct movement is the starting point for losing oneself in the dance. Technique and joy and are equally important. Without the ability to express the joy of the movement, technique is meaningless. For dancers who prefer to dance for fun or exercise, her focus is to give them the technical grounding and expertise so that they can enjoy movement and express themselves through the dance. Alisa’s dream is to create a wonderful environment for both vocational and recreational dancers where their personalities and talents flourish. Dance as a tool for self-development is something Alisa is passionate about. Watching her students of all ages flourish is the ultimate reward. To help build confidence, skill, co-ordination, and self-expression, a nurturing body-positive environment is essential. Incorporating fun into classes is also important.

Exams and Grading
>Exams are not compulsory but highly recommended. Exams help to build student confidence, and they are assessed by an independent professional teacher, resulting in important feedback and training recommendations.
Exams also serve as a great motivational tool for students to work harder on their class routines.
The examiner’s mark decides whether the student has passed the level and can advance or if they should stay in the same level.
If a student does not participate in the examination, his/her regular teacher will decide whether the student will advance or not.
Vaganova Method
>The Vaganova Method is a ballet technique and training system devised by the Russian dancer and pedagogue Agrippina Vaganova (1879–1951). While there is debate over which system is the best, simply put most of the worlds best dancers of the last and current century were trained in the Vaganova method. A good dancer can come come out of any system and no ballet company hires only Vaganova or RAD, or Cecchetti graduates.
Vaganova’s key strengths are; teaching correct movement and posture first, strict technique based on correct movement and very clear grading and marking systems. Many RAD & Cecchetti dancers need to unlearn or improve their technique upon entering
the professional dance world.
Vaganova graduates are arguably more ready for the rigours of professional dancing.
From a parent’s perspective Vaganova may seem the better choice as the risk of injury is lower and assessments of the student’s progress are more accurate as the balance between technical ability and expression is more objectively obvious.
For dancers starting at a later age ( 5-7 years of age is normal) Vaganova method is a good choice as they will be immersed in correct technique allowing their natural ability to flourish faster.
Recreational dancers who dance purely for fun or exercise will benefit from a system of movement that reduces injury risk and quickly benefits endurance, posture and strength.

Nothing else ever seems to hurt like the smile on your face. I am not broken, I'm not crying, I'm not crying. I got a hot sauce in my bag *swag*.  I'm telling these tears, 'Gonna fall away, fall away.'
Hold up, they don't love you like I love you. Slow down, they don't love you like I love you.   You wake up, flawless.
It's time to listen, it's time to fight. Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you. My daddy warned me about men like you.  But every diamond has imperfections, but my love's too pure to watch it chip away.
 I thought the world would revolve, without us. Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard. I dream it, I work hard, I grind 'til I own it. Legs movin' side to side, smack it in the air.
I had my ups and downs, but I always find the inner strength to pull myself up. I was served lemons, but I made lemonade. Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air. May the last one burn into flames. They say true love's the greatest weapon to win the war caused by pain. Tough girl is what I had to be.
 What's worse, lookin' jealous or crazy...jealous or crazy? You showed me love was all you needed. Goddamn! She murdered everybody and I was her witness. It's time to listen, it's time to fight.
Slow down, they don't love you like I love you.   Respect that, bow down bitches. I thought the world would revolve, without us.

You and me would stop this love drought. Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air. Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard. Respect that, bow down bitches. I got a hot sauce in my bag *swag*.
Cause when you open your eyes, I feel alive. Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper. Tough girl is what I had to be. Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you. You and me would stop this love drought.
