Module: FriendlyId::Base
- Defined in:
- lib/friendly_id/base.rb
Overview
Setting Up FriendlyId in Your Model
To use FriendlyId in your ActiveRecord models, you must first either extend or include the FriendlyId module (it makes no difference), then invoke the friendly_id method to configure your desired options:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
include FriendlyId
friendly_id :bar, :use => [:slugged, :simple_i18n]
end
The most important option is `:use`, which you use to tell FriendlyId which addons it should use. See the documentation for this method for a list of all available addons, or skim through the rest of the docs to get a high-level overview.
The Default Setup: Simple Models
The simplest way to use FriendlyId is with a model that has a uniquely indexed column with no spaces or special characters, and that is seldom or never updated. The most common example of this is a user name:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :login
validates_format_of :login, :with => /\A[a-z0-9]+\z/i
end
@user = User.find "joe" # the old User.find(1) still works, too
@user.to_param # returns "joe"
redirect_to @user # the URL will be /users/joe
In this case, FriendlyId assumes you want to use the column as-is; it will never modify the value of the column, and your application should ensure that the value is unique and admissible in a URL:
class City < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :name
end
@city.find "Viña del Mar"
redirect_to @city # the URL will be /cities/Viña%20del%20Mar
Writing the code to process an arbitrary string into a good identifier for use in a URL can be repetitive and surprisingly tricky, so for this reason it's often better and easier to use slugs.
Instance Method Summary (collapse)
-
- (Object) friendly_id(base = nil, options = {}) {|config| ... }
Configure FriendlyId's behavior in a model.
-
- (Object) friendly_id_config
Returns the model class's friendly_id_config.
-
- (Object) relation
private
Gets an instance of an the relation class.
-
- (Object) relation_class
private
Gets (and if necessary, creates) a subclass of the model's relation class.
Instance Method Details
- (Object) friendly_id(base = nil, options = {}) {|config| ... }
Configure FriendlyId's behavior in a model.
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title, :use => :slugged
end
When given the optional block, this method will yield the class's instance of Configuration to the block before evaluating other arguments, so configuration values set in the block may be overwritten by the arguments. This order was chosen to allow passing the same proc to multiple models, while being able to override the values it sets. Here is a contrived example:
$friendly_id_config_proc = Proc.new do |config|
config.base = :name
config.use :slugged
end
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id &$friendly_id_config_proc
end
class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title, &$friendly_id_config_proc
end
However, it's usually better to use FriendlyId.defaults for this:
FriendlyId.defaults do |config|
config.base = :name
config.use :slugged
end
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
end
class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title
end
In general you should use the block syntax either because of your personal aesthetic preference, or because you need to share some functionality between multiple models that can't be well encapsulated by FriendlyId.defaults.
Order Method Calls in a Block vs Ordering Options
When calling this method without a block, you may set the hash options in any order.
However, when using block-style invocation, be sure to call FriendlyId::Configuration's use method prior to the associated configuration options, because it will include modules into your class, and these modules in turn may add required configuration options to the @friendly_id_configuraton's class:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
friendly_id do |config|
# This will work
config.use :slugged
config.sequence_separator = ":"
end
end
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
friendly_id do |config|
# This will fail
config.sequence_separator = ":"
config.use :slugged
end
end
Including Your Own Modules
Because :use can accept a name or a Module, defaults can be a convenient place to set up behavior common to all classes using FriendlyId. You can include any module, or more conveniently, define one on-the-fly. For example, let's say you want to make Babosa the default slugging library in place of Active Support, and transliterate all slugs from Russian Cyrillic to ASCII:
require "babosa"
FriendlyId.defaults do |config|
config.base = :name
config.use :slugged
config.use Module.new {
def normalize_friendly_id(text)
text.to_slug.normalize(:transliterations => [:russian, :latin])
end
}
end

- (Object) friendly_id_config
In the case of Single Table Inheritance (STI), this method will duplicate the parent class's FriendlyId::Configuration and relation class on first access. If you're concerned about thread safety, then be sure to invoke #friendly_id in your class for each model.
Returns the model class's friendly_id_config.

- (Object) relation (private)
Gets an instance of an the relation class.
With FriendlyId this will be a subclass of ActiveRecord::Relation, rather than Relation itself, in order to avoid tainting all Active Record models with FriendlyId.
Note that this method is essentially copied and pasted from Rails 3.2.9.rc1, with the exception of changing the relation class. Obviously this is less than ideal, but I know of no better way to accomplish this.

# File 'lib/friendly_id/base.rb', line 220 def relation #:nodoc: relation = relation_class.new(self, arel_table) if finder_needs_type_condition? relation.where(type_condition).create_with(inheritance_column.to_sym => sti_name) else relation end end |
- (Object) relation_class (private)
Gets (and if necessary, creates) a subclass of the model's relation class.
Rather than including FriendlyId's overridden finder methods in ActiveRecord::Relation directly, FriendlyId adds them to a subclass specific to the AR model, and makes #relation return an instance of this class. By doing this, we ensure that only models that specifically extend FriendlyId have their finder methods overridden.
Note that this method does not directly subclass ActiveRecord::Relation, but rather whatever class the @relation class instance variable is an instance of. In practice, this will almost always end up being ActiveRecord::Relation, but in case another plugin is using this same pattern to extend a model's finder functionality, FriendlyId will not replace it, but rather override it.
This pattern can be seen as a poor man's “refinement” (timelessrepo.com/refinements-in-ruby), and while I *think* it will work quite well, I realize that it could cause unexpected issues, since the authors of Rails are probably not intending this kind of usage against a private API. If this ends up being problematic I will probably revert back to the old behavior of simply extending ActiveRecord::Relation.

How do I get something like this to work?
class AA (α : Type):= (some_op : α → α → ℕ ) class BB (α : Type) extends AA α := (other_op : α → α → ℕ) namespace BB def caabb {α : Type} (bb : BB α) := λ x y : α, (bb.some_op y x) + (bb.other_op x y) end BB
I'm trying to build this so that you can write
def asd {α : Type} (bb1 bb2 : BB α) := λ x y, (bb1.caabb x y) + (bb2.caabb x y)
It works if I replace the class keyword with a structure keyword.
You probably want structure
everywhere, not class
?
But then I can't say some_op a1 a2
Oh... you said that. But what you wrote for bb.other_op
is wrong already, so I don't understand what you actually want
Ask a better question :upside_down:
Right. Say AA also extends the monoid class.
If you want to keep using classes, this works:
class AA (α : Type):= (some_op : α → α → ℕ) class BB (α : Type) extends AA α := (other_op : α → α → ℕ) open AA namespace BB def caabb {α : Type} [bb : BB α] := λ x y : α, some_op y x + other_op x y end BB
You need to open AA
(so that AA.some_op
is abbreviated to some_op
) or alternatively define the projecction some_op
in another namespace.
If you're using classes, then you probably don't want to be using the field projection notation at all
At least in a simple example like this
You can also remove the name bb :
But if you want multiple BB
instances on the same type, classes might not be the thing you want to use.
This example
def asd {α : Type} (bb1 bb2 : BB α) := λ x y, (bb1.caabb x y) + (bb2.caabb x y)
will be a pain with classes.
When using structures, the user specifies which structure to use (so you often use projection notation), and with classes you ask Lean to find the instance (like how Lean will find add_group
on the integers). If you have two group
or BB
instances on the same type, Lean will just pick one for you, and it's a little ugly to specify it yourself (you can do it, with something like @ccaabb _ bb2 x y
)

European Commission positive about Latvia’s budget for 2020
by LETALatvia maintained budget discipline in its next year’s budget plan, the deficit is within acceptable borders, but the tax portion’s decline before the economy generally does not allow for rapid increase of public expenditures, including wages, pensions and benefits, the European Commission admits.
Looking and the general government budget plan for 2020, the EC also admitted that it generally fits the Stability and Growth Pact. At the same time, the budget plan project in Latvia may cause a slight diversion from the state medium term budget goal.
The commission also notes that the previous tax reduction had resulted in a drop of the tax portion before the economy, which does not allow for rapidly increasing public expenditures, including wages, pensions and benefits.
«Structural deficit of Latvia’s budget for 202 is expected near the medium-term goal. Budget structure shows a decline of budget revenue and expenditures in relation to GDP. As a result of previously adopted tax reform between 2018 and 2020, budget revenue have declined by approximately 1 percent point from GDP, reducing also budget expenditure growth capabilities,» as noted by EC Vice-Chairman Valdis Dombrovskis.
Read also: With 57 deputies present, Latvia’s Saeima adopts state budget for 2020
As reported, on 11 October, Latvia’s government approved Latvia’s general government budget plan project for 2020. In accordance with EU requirements, the budget plan was sent to the European Commission and Eurogroup for coordination.
If the EC finds any critical violations of EU’s fiscal discipline requirements, the institution may reject the budget plan and request the member state to add changes and then submit it again. Additionally, EC may include recommendations for the plan’s improvement. The procedure provides that national parliaments take into account EC’s recommendations when approving budgets in final readings.

Problem description:
CLtL does not specify precisely when the dynamic extent (lifetime)
of a nonlocal exit such as a CATCH, BLOCK, or TAGBODY ends.
For example, at what point is it no longer possible to RETURN-FROM
a particular BLOCK?
An "exit" refers to a point from which control can be transferred.
For a THROW or RETURN-FROM, the "exit" is the corresponding CATCH
or BLOCK body. For a GO, the "exit" is the form within the TAGBODY
which was being executed at the time the GO is performed.
The extent of an exit is dynamic; it is not indefinite. The extent
of an exit begins when the corresponding form (CATCH, BLOCK or TAGBODY
clause) is entered. When the extent of an exit has ended, it is no
longer legal to return from it.
The extent of an exit is not the same thing as the scope of the
designator by which the exit is identified. For example, a BLOCK
name has lexical scope but the extent of its exit is dynamic; the
scope of a CATCH tag could differ from the extent of the CATCH's
return point. (That's part of what is at issue here.)
The ambiguity at issue arises for the case where there are transfers
of control from the cleanup clauses of an UNWIND-PROTECT.
When a transfer of control is initiated by GO, RETURN-FROM or THROW,
a variety of events occur before the transfer of control is complete.
In particular,
(a) the cleanup clauses of any intervening UNWIND-PROTECT clauses
are evaluated,
(b) intervening dynamic bindings of special variables and catch tags
are undone,
(c) intervening exits are "abandoned", i.e., their extent ends and it
is no longer legal to attempt to transfer control through them,
(d) the extent of the exit being invoked ends,
(e) control is finally passed to the target.
The order of these events is not explicit in CLtL, however. The
implementation note on p.142 gives a clue about the interweaving
of (a) and (b), but there are differing opinions about the times
at which (c) and (d) may occur. In particular,
Is it legal for an implementation to end the extent of all
intervening exits before processing the cleanup clauses of intervening
UNWIND-PROTECTs?
What is the dynamic context at the time UNWIND-PROTECT clauses are
evaluated: how is the unwinding of dynamic bindings intertwined with
evaluation of UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clauses?
Proposal (EXIT-EXTENT:MINIMAL):
The extent of an exit being "abandoned" because it is being passed over
ends as soon as the transfer of control is initiated. That is, the
event (c) occurs at the beginning of the initiation of the transfer of
control. In the language of the implementation note on p.142, the
extent ends at the beginning of the second pass. It is an error to
attempt a transfer of control to an exit whose dynamic extent has
ended.
The event (d) occurs at the end of the transfer of control.
Otherwise, events (a) and (b)--the undoing of dynamic binding of special
variables and CATCH tags, and the execution of UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup
clauses--are performed in the order corresponding to the reverse order
in which they were established, as implied by the implementation note
on p.142. The effect of this is that the cleanup clauses of an UNWIND-PROTECT
will see the same dynamic bindings of variables and CATCH tags as were
visible when the UNWIND-PROTECT was entered.
This proposal is called "minimal" because it gives exits the smallest
extent consistent with CLtL, except that event (d) occurs later than
CLtL requires. A program that presumed a longer extent would be in
error. Implementations may support longer extents for exits than is
required by this proposal; in particular, an implementation which
allowed the larger extent of the MEDIUM proposal below would still
conform.
Proposal (EXIT-EXTENT:MEDIUM):
The events of (a), (b), (c) and (d) are interwoven in the reverse
order in which they were established. In particular, the extent of
a passed-over exit ends when control reaches a frame that was
established before the exit was established.
In particular, it is legal, during the evaluation of an UNWIND-PROTECT
cleanup form executed because of a non-local transfer of control, to
initiate a new transfer of control to an exit intervening between the
UNWIND-PROTECT and the original target; the original processing of
transfer of control is abandoned.
Examples:
;; Error under either proposal: BLOCK exits normally before RETURN
(funcall (block nil #'(lambda () (return))))
;; Error under either proposal: normal exit before GO
(tagbody t (setq a #'(lambda () (go t))))
(funcall a))
;; Error under either proposal: TAGBODY is passed over, before GO
(tagbody a (return #'(lambda () (go a))))))
;;returns 2 under MEDIUM and MINIMAL, was error under MINIMAL version 6
(unwind-protect (return 1)
(return 2)))
;;returns 2 under MEDIUM, is error under MINIMAL
(block a
(block b
(unwind-protect (return-from a 1)
(return-from b 2))))
;; returns 2 under MEDIUM and MINIMAL, was error under MINIMAL version 6
(unwind-protect (throw nil 1)
;; returns 2 under MEDIUM, is error under MINIMAL
;; because the catch of B is passed over by
;; the first THROW, hence portable programs must assume its dynamic extent
;; is terminated. The binding of the catch tag is not yet disestablished
;; and therefore it is the target of the second throw.
(catch 'a
(catch 'b
(unwind-protect (throw 'a 1)
(throw 'b 2))))
;; the following was an error under MINIMAL version 6; the extent of
;; the inner catch terminates as soon as the THROW commences, even
;; though it remains in scope. Thus, the THROW of :SECOND-THROW
;; sees the inner CATCH, but its extent has ended.
;; under MEDIUM and MINIMAL version 7,
;; it prints "The inner catch returns :SECOND-THROW"
;; and then returns :OUTER-CATCH.
(catch 'foo
(format t "The inner catch returns ~s.~%"
(catch 'foo
(unwind-protect (throw 'foo :first-throw)
(throw 'foo :second-throw))))
:outer-catch))
;; Following returns 10 under either proposal. The inner
;; CATCH of A is passed over, but because that CATCH
;; is disestablished before the THROW to A is executed,
;; it isn't seen.
(catch 'a
(catch 'b
(unwind-protect (1+ (catch 'a (throw 'b 1)))
(throw 'a 10))))
;; Following is an error under MINIMAL because the extent of
;; the (CATCH 'BAR ...) exit ends when the (THROW 'FOO ...)
;; commences.
;; Under MEDIUM, the pending exit to tag FOO is discarded by the
;; second THROW to BAR and the value 4 is transferred to
;; (CATCH 'BAR ...), which returns 4. The (CATCH 'FOO ...)
;; then returns the 4 because its first argument has returned
;; normally. XXX is not printed.
(CATCH 'FOO
(CATCH 'BAR
(UNWIND-PROTECT (THROW 'FOO 3)
(THROW 'BAR 4)
(PRINT 'XXX))))
;; Following returns 4 under either proposal; XXX is not printed.
;; The (THROW 'FOO ...) has no effect on the scope of the BAR
;; catch tag or the extent of the (CATCH 'BAR ...) exit.
(CATCH 'BAR
(CATCH 'FOO
(UNWIND-PROTECT (THROW 'FOO 3)
(THROW 'BAR 4)
(PRINT 'XXX))))
;;The following are legal and print 5 under either proposal:
(let ((x 5))
(print x))))
(let ((x 5))
(print x))))
Rationale:
For MINIMAL: Giving exits the smallest extent consistent with CLtL
maximizes freedom for implementations; there are few applications,
if any, that require a longer extent. Delaying event (d) until
the transfer of control is completed allows multiple attempts to
exit from a single exit, if the first attempt is interrupted,
possibly by an error.
For MEDIUM: Giving exits a longer extent has cleaner semantics.
Current practice:
Both implementations of Symbolics Genera (3600 and Ivory) end the extent
of a target BLOCK or CATCH at the moment the values are returned, and
end the extent of a passed-over exit at the moment the THROW, RETURN, or
GO commences. This choice of extent maximizes efficiency within the
particular stack structure used by these implementations, by avoiding
the need to retain the control information needed to use a passed over
exit through the transfer of control. Genera signals an error if an
attempt is made to use an exit that has been passed over.
In some implementations, it is possible for a throw or non-local exit
to be effectively "stopped" by an UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clause that
performs a non-local transfer of control to a passed-over exit.
Some implementations crash or otherwise generate garbage code for
non-local exits from cleanup clauses of UNWIND-PROTECT.
Cost to Implementors:
No currently valid implementation will be made invalid by the MINIMAL
proposal. Some implementors may wish to add error checks if they
do not already have them.
MEDIUM would have a high cost for those implementations that currently
have shorter extent.
Cost to Users:
Most user programs don't do this, so there is likely little cost
of converting existing code in any case. In any case, current implementations
differ enough that this issue ostensibly does not
affect current portable programs. Some users might have code that
relies on the "unstoppable loops" that can be created with the MEDIUM
proposal.
Benefits:
Either proposal would make Common Lisp more precisely defined.
Cost of non-adoption :
The semantics of exits will remain ambiguous.
Esthetics:
Precisely specifying the meaning of dynamic extent improves the language.
Leaving implementations free to implement a longer extent if they choose
can be regarded as unesthetic, but consistent with Common Lisp philosophy.
Having a CATCH that is in scope even though its extent has ended may
seem unesthetic, but it is consistent with how BLOCK behaves.
Discussion:
This issue is controversial. It was first discussed under the issue
named UNWIND-PROTECT-CLEANUP-NON-LOCAL-EXIT. The issue was recast as
the more global one of "extent of exits" rather than the specific
one of "what happens if a cleanup in an UNWIND-PROTECT does a non-
local exit", but the problem cases for both topics are the same.
The goal of the MINIMAL proposal is to clarify the ambiguity in CLtL while
minimizing changes to the current situation. The MEDIUM proposal
defines the extent of an exit to end at the last moment possible
within some particular reference implementation. It has
a cost to implementors whose implementation is not identical to the
reference implementation. Another alternative proposal, not considered
here, would duck the issue by outlawing all non-local exits from UNWIND-PROTECT
cleanup forms. That alternative would have a substantial cost to some users.
Scheme is cleaner: it avoids this issue by specifying that the extent
of an exit never ends.
An argument for the MEDIUM proposal was made based on the example:
(block foo
(block bar
(return-from foo 'foo)
(return-from bar 'bar))))
Since there is no reason for FOO and BAR not to be treated interchangeably,
calling this an error would be inappropriate.
It was argued that the MINIMAL proposal is equivalent to practically
outlawing non-local exits from UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup clauses, because
there is no general way to determine the target of the non-local exit
that caused the cleanup clause to be invoked.
The following example was offered as an argument against MINIMAL. Given:
(error "foo")) ;probably an error, under the proposal
(error ()
(print "foo"))))
If the ERROR handler has the same scope and extent a CATCH in the same place
would have (and that seems reasonable, though I'm not certain that the
condition system specifically requires that interpretation), then the handler
will be apparent to the call to ERROR, but will no longer be a valid target
(its extent was exited by the RETURN in the UNWIND-PROTECT body).
The extent of an object with dynamic extent is the extent of the form
which created it. Code which is executed "within" that form is within
the extent of the object(s). This applies to all dynamic objects, such
as special variable bindings, not just exits. Actually, I think the intent
of the implementation note on p.142 is fairly clear and supports this
interpretation. The supposedly ambiguous use of "frame" should be read
as something like "form which establishes a dynamic extent". It might be
clearer if the last sentence were changed to read something like:
"On the second pass the stack is actually unwound. Each form which establishes
a dynamic extent is undone in reverse order of creation until the matching
CATCH is reached. The meaning of undoing a form depends on the type of form.
For UNWIND-PROTECT, it means executing the cleanup forms. For CATCH it means
removing the CATCH tag. For dynamic bindings it means undoing the binding,
restoring the previous saved value. {This is not an exhaustive listing of the
possibilities.}"

PhD Student at Mila, Universite de Montreal
I am a second year PhD student at Mila (previously, Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms), advised by Dr. Liam Paull. My interests are diverse; predominantly along the intersections of robotics, computer vision, deep learning, and computer graphics.
At present, I devote most of my time to develop techniques that enable embodied agents to not just see, but to understand. Vision sensors only inform a robot information about what is visible to them. However, perception algorithms must be able to leverage prior information about how the world works, to truly understand their environment. This is the hypothesis/motivation that most of my research hinges on. My work spans generative 3D modeling, scene understanding, SLAM, and perception for autonomous driving.
When I’m not doing research, I love to spend time writing technical blogs, tutorials, and open-source code.

uBLAS is a C++ template class library that provides BLAS level 1, 2, 3 functionality for dense, packed and sparse matrices. The design and implementation unify mathematical notation via operator overloading and efficient code generation via expression templates.
uBLAS provides templated C++ classes for dense, unit and sparse vectors, dense, identity, triangular, banded, symmetric, hermitian and sparse matrices. Views into vectors and matrices can be constructed via ranges or slices and adaptor classes. The library covers the usual basic linear algebra operations on vectors and matrices: reductions like different norms, addition and subtraction of vectors and matrices and multiplication with a scalar, inner and outer products of vectors, matrix vector and matrix matrix products and triangular solver. The glue between containers, views and expression templated operations is a mostly STL conforming iterator interface.
The current version of uBLAS expects a modern (ISO standard compliant) compiler. Compilers targeted and tested with this release are:
The version of uBLAS in Boost 1.32.0 (and earlier) support many older compilers. If you are using such a compiler please use this version of uBLAS. Compilers known to accept this older library are:
For possible problems please consider to consult the Boost regression tests.
The latest stable release of uBLAS is part of the Boost libraries.
Visit the Effective uBLAS wiki for up to date information and contributions.
There is also an active uBLAS mailing list where uBLAS specific user and development questions are answered.
There is also an active uBLAS mailing list where uBLAS specific from the latest uBLAS project code. You can view the Boost CVS archive directly. You will find the library here. Documentation and test programs reside here.
uBLAS initially was written by Joerg Walter and Mathias Koch. We would like to thank all, which supported and contributed to the development of this library: David Abrahams, Ed Brey, Fernando Cacciola, Juan Jose Gomez Cadenas, Beman Dawes, Matt Davies, Bob Fletcher, Kresimir Fresl, Joachim Kessel, Patrick Kowalzick, Toon Knapen, Hendrik Kueck, John Maddock, Jens Maurer, Alexei Novakov, Gary Powell, Joachim Pyras, Peter Schmitteckert, Jeremy Siek, Markus Steffl, Michael Stevens, Benedikt Weber, Martin Weiser, Gunter Winkler, Marc Zimmermann and the members of Boost
Q: I'm running the uBLAS dense vector and matrix benchmarks. Why
do I see a significant performance difference between the native C
and library implementations?
A: uBLAS distinguishes debug mode (size and type conformance checks
enabled, expression templates disabled) and release mode (size and
type conformance checks disabled, expression templates enabled).
Please check, if the preprocessor symbol NDEBUG
of
cassert
is defined. NDEBUG
enables
release mode, which in turn uses expression templates. You can
optionally define BOOST_UBLAS_NDEBUG
to disable all
bounds, structure and similar checks of uBLAS.
Q: I've written some uBLAS tests, which try to incorrectly
assign different matrix types or overrun vector and matrix
dimensions. Why don't I get a compile time or runtime
diagnostic?
A: uBLAS distinguishes debug mode (size and type conformance checks
enabled, expression templates disabled) and release mode (size and
type conformance checks disabled, expression templates enabled).
Please check, if the preprocessor symbol NDEBUG
of
cassert
is defined. NDEBUG
disables debug
mode, which is needed to get size and type conformance checks.
Q: I've written some uBLAS benchmarks to measure the performance
of matrix chain multiplications like prod (A, prod (B,
C))
and see a significant performance penalty due to the use
of expression templates. How can I disable expression
templates?
A: You do not need to disable expression templates. Please try
reintroducing temporaries using either prod (A,
matrix_type
(prod (B, C)))
or
prod (A, prod<
matrix_type
> (B, C))

"Over My Dad's Pottie!" Rugrats in Paris - The Movie
By Ross Anthony
I enjoyed this film so much, I wondered if it overshot the intended audience. So I asked a few little tikes after the film. Two were too shy, but their mom said they loved it. And the other one, he left the theater singing, "Who let the dogs out!" the Baha Men's catchy chorus off the film's soundtrack. That should clinch it then, a strong follow-up to the first "Rugrats - The Movie."
The opening logo comes together in brilliant computer-animated ease forming the familiar fun Nickelodeon-styled "Rugrats," then the lights dim as the text changes to "The Godfather" font. You can expect this parody to pepper spice the rest of this kids' flick. But there are plenty of other adult ingredients, and two diapers full of pottie humor to go around for everyone.
After taking the consequence, Tommy is scorned by Angelica, "That's what you get for winging your buggers on Susie." Undaunted Tommy smiles, "So that's where I left 'em!"
Mr. Pickles gets a call from France summoning him to fix the huge Godzilla-spoof robot he engineered for the Disneyland-spoof EuroReptarland. Of course he takes the whole family. But this movie's star is really Chuckie. Chuckie's need for a new mom compels him to search deep down and find the courage to approach a beautiful princess. But he isn't the only one scheming prospective partners for his single dad.
"What are dates?" "Big raisons that make you poop."
Though most of the animation is painted in the old fashion 2-D style; the colors are Starburst juicy, and the action paced for those with little tiny attention spans - so don't expect to be bored. These little munchkins get into everything! And of course, songs tie it all together. You'll no doubt be singing "Who let the dogs out" during your walk to the parking lot. But there are a few other notes of note as well: "Chuckie Chan," the dream sequence ("He'll break up the party if he's not on the pottie"), and "Reptar I love you" (a refreshing poke-funnery of those Disney classic odes).
Chuckie-full of juicy one liners, you'll have to keep your ears open: "I love their fries and all ... but." "See how nice his head stays on." "It's a nerd, it's a pain, it's Angelica!"
Enjoy.

The scenarios in which our product, the crownstone can be useful at home, are endless. For that reason we will stipulate a few corner cases below, besides the obvious ones of energy monitoring and savings and a house that starts to interact with you.
Our solution is totally from this century! We combine energy savings and comfort in one technology. No accidental energy consumption. And just as important, no separate remote control that you have to find. Just shake your phone, or even better, just enter the house. The best interface is no interface!
Scroll to the bottom to pre-order.
Imagine that power outlets are turned into the eyes and ears of your house. Our open infrastructure (github) allows developers to come up with many applications. To get into the mood of what is possible, think of the following scenarios.
Standby is currently limited to single appliances.  How? The crownstone recognizes what appliance is attached to it, and makes sure it doesn't turn off the fridge to save on energy!
The lights are on... Your favorite music plays... Isn't it much nicer to be welcomed to your home, especially if you're getting older and living alone?
You forgot to plug in your phone... Ah, you risk not to be woken up by your alarm, or worse, will miss all kind of interesting and important phone calls because your phone runs out the next day. Your home can warn you that you forgot to plug in your phone and can even environmentally friendly only start to charge it a few hours before you wake up!
 At this very moment your television set, your media box, and your stereo set is getting unplugged. That can't be right! Something is going on? A quick call to the neighbor who tells you that one of the windows in the back is shattered. Police!
You're not at home and one of the older children of your neighbours is babysitting. You don't want them watching television after 10 o'clock at night. A timer on the crownstones switches off all television sets. Also child-safety locks on normal power outlets (to which no device is attached) is a potential life saver.
Suddenly the power consumption of your laundry machine doubles compared to normal. Perhaps you forgot to get your hairpins out of your pocket and they block the pumps. A quick message makes you take a look, and indeed, the machine sounds funny. A mechanic, or you yourself, on a rainy Saturday afternoon, opens up the machine and removes the culprit.
If you want to pre-order the crownstone, please drop an email to . Note, that we can provide crownstones to consumers when we get enough pre-orders. Don't hesitate to pre-order a large quantity. Your pre-order only reflects your interest and no obligation to buy. The price per crownstone for prototype production is around 50 euro and will go down if more people order (just waiting will not bring the price down).


County Fair Queen relieved of duties but gets to keep title
ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) - A Rockford woman crowned 2019 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen will keep her title but won’t be allowed to perform duties associated with the honor.
The Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs, which runs the pageant, said in a Saturday statement that Alexi Bladel will keep the title until January when a successor is named. Her name will remain on a historical roster, but she’s “released” from remaining duties.
The association declined to give a reason, citing privacy.
Bladel’s family says her decision to join the U.S. Army Reserves led to the dismissal, but a pageant chairman told the Rockford Register Star it wasn’t a factor. Her family is asking the association to reconsider allowing her to attend next year’s pageant
Bladel is expected to graduate from basic training this month.

World Wide Web
The World Wide Web (WWW) consists basicaly of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) documents linked together by hyperlinks.
The WWW was invented in the early 1990s, nowadays there are about 30 billion web pages online on the web.
All type of files can be found on the web, besides HTML documents (that hold everything together), there are mainly videos, photos and music files online.
Major components of the web
The major pieces of the web are: (1) client computers with web browsers, (2) the "cloud" and (3) servers that host files.
Browsers make requests via the internet to servers using the HTTP protocol (Hypter Text Transfer Protocoll).
The servers respond by files, transfered through the internet and displayed by browsers.
HTML
The heart of the web are HTML documents that hold everything together. HTML documents consists of text content, markups (how the content is formated or arranged) and of links (references to other pages or files, e.g multimedia files.
Markups are made up of tags, normally in the following structure: < opening tag > content < /closing tag >. Tags can also be nested, where the content is another tag inside the tag. There are also void tags that only need opening tags but no closing tags.
These are the most important basic HTML tags:
bold tag: < b > content < /b> makes tagged content bold
emphasis tag: < em > content < /em> makes tagged content italic
link tag: < a href="wwww.udacity.com"> content< /a> which is an anchor tag, using the href attribute containing the url to link to.
image tag: < img src="www.xyz.com/123.jpeg" alt="alternate text">
line break tag: < br > adds a line break (it's a void tag)
paragraph tag: < p >content < /p> adds an invisible box around the paragraphed text
Note about white space in HTML: mltiple white space within text is turned into one single white space.
In HTML, there are different type of elements. Inline elements are used within a specific line of content, e.g. the < br > tag. Block elements as the paragraph use an invisible box to define space around it. One other pair of an expample is the inline element of "< span> < /span>" opposed to the block element "< div > < /div>
When forgetting to set a closing tag, then everything followed by the opening tag is formated by this opening tag. Programmers often say that computers are stupid in the sense that computers only understand clear and error-less instructions (commands) and react very sensitive to typing errors...
The structure of an HTML document is as follows:


My Best Friend's Wedding A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
**** (out of 4) MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING is not what I expected. The previews made it look like a fluffy romantic comedy that follows formula exactly. After the opening title sequence, I was certain the movie would be trite and airheaded.
In fact, the movie is NOT shallow and it breaks from formula in interesting ways. It was surprising to see that the movie had a soul.
Julianne (Julia Roberts) gets a call from her long-time bachelor friend Michael (Dermot Mulroney), three weeks before her 28th birthday. They had agreed to marry each other if they were both still single by 28, so Julianne is expecting "the question." If you've seen the previews, you know that Michael has called to tell her that he's engaged to someone else, and that Julianne decides that SHE wants to marry Michael, and she wants to do it now. Meanwhile Kimmy (Cameron Diaz), Michael's fiance, wants to make Julianne her new best friend, both from Michael's flattering descriptions and as an alternative to jealousy.
It's easy to picture such a plot degenerating into a cheesy sitcom: Julia Roberts concocting zany schemes to break up the wedding, creating truckloads of wacky hilarity. P.J. Hogan's direction, Ronald Bass's insightful script and the performances of all the main characters never allowed that to be a real possibility. The movie is imbued with human qualities - honesty, kindness, humanity - that most sitcoms - most MOVIES - never even consider.
The movie treats all of its characters well. Nobody is evil. Nobody is "the bad guy" in the disposable villain sort of way. When Julianne springs a trap on Kimmy, we don't cheer the cruelty because Kimmy is not a 2-dimensional punching doll. Even the pair of man-hungry sisters (Rachel Griffiths and Carrie Preston), who are in the movie mainly as comic relief, are given self-awareness and self-respect. Other family members may put them down, but the movie itself never condescends.
MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING is effective - some might say manipulative --at winning you over to its side. For example, Julianne claims to be cynical about big traditional weddings. But when she sees that her best friend is going to have one without her, it turns out to be exactly what she - and we, by our association with her as the hero - wants. Kimmy confides to Julianne that she is just as sentimental as all the flighty nitwits she's always pitied at weddings. Her heartfelt confession puts her on our level and makes it okay for us to open our sentimental sides to the movie. Even the trailers are effective(/manipulative) by making the movie look much more simple than it is. I went to the movie "knowing" exactly how it would play out based on the previews. As I said above, I was pleasantly surprised by its depth and complexity (though perhaps only relative to what I expected).
There is one scene, however, that really won me over and made me love this movie as much as I did. One of Julianne's schemes is to make Michael jealous by claiming her handsome gay friend George (charmingly played by Rupert Everett) is her fiance.
There is a scene where George spontaneously starts singing shamelessly in a restaurant. One by one, the other people at the table shed their inhibitions and join in. Soon the whole big extended family is singing boldly (and not too badly). After one chorus, the restaurant gives them a round of applause. Not wanting the moment to end, someone from the restaurant jumps on the piano and introduces another chorus, and now the whole restaurant joins in. Everyone in the restaurant becomes one huge family joined together to sing a love song for the young "couple," (and each to remember their OWN first love).
The scene is a modern parallel of a whole tribe joining together at a feast to celebrate a marriage. What makes it even better is that everyone in the room wants to join in, but modern barriers of politeness among strangers keep them from doing so. One by one, the people join in anyway until the whole room is included. They collectively agree, for a wonderful moment, to be family, not strangers.
Not only is this a great moment, but it also adds to the whole of the movie. During this scene, the only person not singing is Julianne. Her guilty conscience is starting to haunt her and she can't really participate in the sincere expression of joy that everyone else in the restaurant feels.
Twice I thought the movie's heart was in the wrong place. During the credit sequence, the movie appears to be about how to win a man. The notion of treating men as marriage objects seems as shallow and wrong as treating women as sex objects. Later, Julianne insists that her motives in chasing Michael are 100% pure love (and not jealousy or "winning"). Both times I winced with disappointment at the movie's vapidity. Both times, the movie came back to show that the characters themselves, and not the movie, were wrong.
Hogan's only other notable experience is his direction of MURIEL'S WEDDING, which is another great movie that takes the romantic comedy and adds a difficult twist. One wonders if he will be as good in another genre, or if it's necessary that he even try. For the meantime, though, he has found his niche: directing comedies with "Wedding" in the title.
