HOUSE OF WAX (1953) A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1996 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
(1953) ** (out of four)
You always take a certain amount of risk when deciding to watch really old movies, even ones that are supposed to be classics. HOUSE OF WAX stars one of my favorite actors of the past, the late Vincent Price, who always lends a hilariously macabre feel to anything he appears in, from horror classics like THE TINGLER to token appearances in more recent efforts like EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video. (MIKE: I'm not like other guys, but I do _like_ other guys.) Hell, he even cracked me up as Egghead (the heretofore uncredited predecessor of the Coneheads) on the 60's "Batman" show. And he's good in HOUSE OF WAX too.
The problem with this movie is that even though Price's performance is excellent as usual, the movie itself just isn't very entertaining. It's one of those movies that's only 90 minutes long but is still padded with needless and boring material. In HOUSE OF WAX, Price gives two extended tours of his wax museum that serve no better purpose than filling space. Another sequence shows two characters exchanging a brief conversation while watching women dance at a vaudeville show. After their fifteen seconds of dialogue, we see the entire dance number for no reason. And yet another waste of time is a sequence on the opening day of Price's museum, when a barker with two ball-and-paddle toys tries to attract customers. It may be an entertaining scene but it serves no purpose.
Price plays a wax sculptor whose investment partner burns down his museum while he's in it to collect the insurance money. Price is presumed dead but later resurfaces, opening a new wax museum, while a series of murders and subsequent body-stealings from the morgue begins. The weird part is every time a body disappears, a spitting image of the person pops up in Price's wax museum. One woman puts two and two together about the same time Price tells her she would make the perfect Marie Antoinette for a display he's about to make. Uh-oh!
 I had been carving a statue of Kurt Cobain for three weeks before I realized I could just steal his corpse. Then again, his head may not be in the best possible condition for display.

Previous examples have used Dynamator to generate JSP that produces HTML. This example uses Dynamator to generate JSP that produces XML.
In general, Dynamator works the same with XML templates as with HTML templates. There are a few differences. The 'id' and 'class' attributes aren't available in XML unless they're declared in the DTD. To keep the template valid XML, the Dynamator file should use the <tag> element to locate elements. If that's not possible, Dynamator can remove the 'id' and 'class' attributes.
This example produces a sample XML document consisting of a list of terms:
This template uses a Dynamator feature called "comment div". Dynamator treats a comment that begins with the text 'div' as a <div> element, allowing locators to be applied to arbitrary portions of a template document. In this case, the comment div is used to discard elements that are in the template only to provide sample data.
Notice that the prolog is formatted to contain no whitespace outside of JSP elements. This formatting ensures that no spaces are inserted into the output before the end of the prolog. In a valid XML document, there are no spaces before the first <? xml ?> tag.
One element added for this demonstration is the JSP page directive specifying contentType="text/plain". Normally, the content type for an XML document would be "text/xml", but this ensures that you will be able to see the XML in your browser.
Like HTML, XML files are processed using dynamate. Because the input file does not end with a suffix of '.html' or '.htm', dynamate does not preprocess it using Tidy.

After processing with Dynamator, the resulting JSP file looks like this:
If you are viewing this page in a servlet engine, you can see the generated xml data.

This collection of problems contain short exercises and discussion questions on QCD.
a) With respect to what scale(s) are the \( c,b,t \) quarks called heavy?
b) Have you heard about the \( s \) quark before? If yes, in what context?
c) A possible way to see quarks and gluons is in jets. What happens in these events?
d) Using the Particle Data Group website, discuss which properties of the neutron and proton are similar and what are differences? What about for the three pions?
e) Which is more important in making a neutron more massive than a proton: the light quark mass difference or the electromagnetic contribution? Or do you think such considerations are too simplistic?
f) What is the evidence for spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in
h) If you and your friend each do a QCD calculation with the same diagrams but use \( \alpha_s \) at different scales, will you get the same answer? If not, how could that happen?
i) Does the running coupling in QCD mean that the QCD Hamiltonian is not unique? Would you say that if you used \( \alpha_s \) at two different scales that you were using two different Hamiltonians?
j) If the neutron lifetime is so short, why are there any stable nuclei?
k) One observes a marked resonance when a \( \pi^+ \) pion is scattering off a proton. Which baryon does this correspond to and at which energy of the \( \pi^+ \) does this occur (the proton is at rest)?
l) At sufficient energy in proton-proton collisions it is possible to create a pion, \( p + p \rightarrow p + n + \pi^+ \). At which energy in the center-of-mass frame does pion production start?
a) We typically use units in which \( \hbar=c=1 \) and express quantities as powers of MeV or fm or both, using \( \hbar c\approx 197.33 \) MeVfm to convert between them. If we take for the nucleon mass \( M_N=939 \) MeV/$c^2$, what is \( \hbar^2/M_N \) numerically in terms of MeV and fm?
Hint: This should be almost immediate if you insert the right factors of \( c \).
b) For the scattering of equal mass (nonrelativistic) particles, if the laboratory energy \( E_{\rm lab} \) is related to the magnitude of the relative momentum \( k_{\rm rel} \) (i.e., the momentum each particle has in the center-of-mass frame) by \( E_{\rm lab} = C k_{\rm rel}^2 \), what is \( C \)? If the mass is \( M_N=939 \) MeV, what is the value of \( C \) in MeVfm$^2$?
c) We write the partial-wave momentum space Schroedinger equation (see Lecture notes) as $$ \frac{k^2}{2\mu}\langle klm | \psi \rangle + \frac{2}{\pi}\sum_{l'm'} \int_0^\infty\! dk'\,k'{}^2\, \langle klm | V | k'l'm' \rangle \langle k'l'm' | \psi \rangle = E_k \langle klm | \psi \rangle \;, $$ what are the units of \( V_{ll'}(k,k') \equiv \langle klm | V | k'l'm \rangle \)? In coordinate space the potential is local, \( V(r) \), with units of MeV, and \( k \) is given in inverse fm. If you see a plot in a journal article of \( V_{ll'}(k,k') \) with units of fm, how would you convert it to the units you just found?
Hint: use the results from the first exercise here.
d) In Figure 18 of the review by Scott Bogner et al., Prog. Nucl. Part. Phys. 65, 94 (2010) the momentum-space matrix elements of different chiral effective field theory potentials are given in units of fm. Consider the value at zero relative momenta. \( \tilde{C}_{^1S_0} \), see Eq. (2.5) and the article by Epelbaum et al. in GeV$^{-2}$. How do you convert to fm units? Do the values for the matrix elements then match?
e) What do on-shell and off-shell mean in the context of scattering?
f) Under what conditions is a partial-wave expansion of the potential useful?
g) Derive the standard result: $$ \frac{e^{i\delta_l(k)}\sin\delta_l(k)}{k} = \frac{1}{k\cot\delta_l(k) - i k} $$
h) Given a potential that is not identically zero as \( r\rightarrow\infty \) (e.g., a Yukawa), how would you know in practice where the asymptotic (large \( r \)) region starts?
i) What is the physical interpretation of the relation between the (partial-wave) \( S \)-matrix and the scattering amplitude? (Note that \( S_l(k) = 1 + 2 i k f_l(k) \).)
a) Using the Schr\"odinger equation for the scattering of two particles with mass \( m \), $$ (H_0 + V)|\psi_E\rangle = E |\psi_E\rangle \;, $$ where \( H_0 \) is the free Hamiltonian, show that the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the wave function, $$ |\psi_E^{\pm}\rangle = |\phi_k\rangle + \frac{1}{E-H_0\pm i\epsilon}V |\psi_E^{\pm}\rangle \;, $$ is satisfied. Here \( E = k^2/m \) and the plane wave state satisfies \( H_0 |\phi_k\rangle = E |\phi_k\rangle \). Why do you need the \( \pm i\epsilon \)?
b) We can define the \( T \)-matrix on-shell as the transition matrix that acting on the plane wave state yields the same result as the potential acting on the full scattering state. That is, \( T^{(\pm)}(E = k^2/m)|\phi_k\rangle = V |\psi_E^{\pm}\rangle \). What does it mean that the \( T \)-matrix is on-shell? (This is a really quick question!)
c) Show that matrix elements of the \( T \)-matrix satisfy the Lippmann-Schwinger equation $$ \langle {\bf k}'|T^{(\pm)}(E)|{\bf k}\rangle = \langle {\bf k}'|V|{\bf k}\rangle + \int\! d^3p\, \frac{\langle {\bf k}'|V|{\bf p}\rangle \langle {\bf p}|T^{(\pm)}(E)|{\bf k}\rangle}{E-\frac{p^2}{m}\pm i\epsilon}. $$ What normalization is used for the momentum states? Are the matrix elements of the \( T \)-matrix on the right side on-shell?
d) Write the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the wave function in coordinate space for a local potential \( V = V({\bf r}) \). To this end, show first that the free Green's function $$ G^{\pm}({\bf r}',{\bf r}; E = k^2/m) = \langle {\bf r} | \frac{1}{E-H_0\pm i\epsilon} | {\bf r}'\rangle, $$ is given by $$ G^{\pm}({\bf r}',{\bf r}; E = k^2/m) = -\frac{m}{4\pi}\frac{e^{\pm ik|{\bf r}-{\bf r}'|}}{|{\bf r}-{\bf r}'|}. $$
e) Show that when the \( T \)-matrix is evaluated on-shell, it is proportional to the scattering amplitude, \( T^+(E =k^2/m) = -\frac{1}{4\pi^2 m}f(k,\theta) \), by analyzing the asymptotic form of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and comparing to $$ \langle {\bf r} | \psi_E^+ \rangle \stackrel{r\rightarrow\infty}{\longrightarrow} (2\pi)^{-3/2} \left( e^{i\boldsymbol{k\cdot r}} + f(k,\theta) \frac{e^{ikr}}{r} \right). $$
f) Start from the momentum-space partial wave expansion of the potential, $$ \langle {\bf k'} | V | {\bf k} \rangle = \frac{2}{\pi}\sum_{l,m} V_l(k',k)Y^{\ast}_{lm}(\Omega_{k'})Y_{lm}(\Omega_k), $$ and a similar expansion of the \( T \)-matrix to derive the partial wave version of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation (with the correct factor for the integral): $$ T_l(k',k;E) = V_l(k',k) + \frac{2}{\pi} \int_0^\infty \! dp\, p^2 \frac{V_l(k',q)T_l(q,k;E)}{E - p^2/m + i\epsilon}. $$
g) Scattering phase shifts for a square well potential. Calculate the S-wave scattering phase shifts for an attractive square-well potential \( V(r) = -V_0 \theta(R-r) \) and show that $$ \delta_0(E) = \arctan\left[ \sqrt{\frac{E}{E+V_0}}\tan\bigl(R\sqrt{2\mu(E+V_0)\bigr)} \right] - R\sqrt{2\mu E}. $$
h) Let's consider the analytic structure of the corresponding partial-wave S matrix, which is given by $$ S_0(k) = e^{-2 i k R} \frac{k_0 \cot k_0 R + ik}{k_0 \cot k_0 R - ik}, $$ where \( E = k^2/2\mu \) and \( k_0^2 = k^2 + 2\mu V_0 \). Show that \( S_l(k) = e^{2i\delta_l(k)} \) for \( l=0 \) is satisfied. Treat \( S_0(k) \) as a function of the complex variable \( k \) and find its singularities.
Hint: write \( e^{2i\delta} = e^{i\delta}/e^{-i\delta} \).
i) Bound states are associated with poles on the imaginary axis in the upper half plane. Show that the condition for such a pole here gives the same eigenvalue condition (a transcendental equation) that you would get from a conventional solution to the square well by matching logarithmic derivatives.
Hint: Define \( k= i\kappa \) with \( \kappa>0 \) when analyzing such a pole.

Braves boost shaky bullpen, sign ex-Giants lefty Will Smith
The Atlanta Braves have signed veteran closer Will Smith to a three-year, $39 million contract, the team announced Thursday.
The deal also includes a club option for 2023 for an additional $13 million. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the deal includes a buyout that will pay Smith $1 million if the Braves do not pick up that option.
Smith, 30, earned 34 saves in 38 opportunities for the San Francisco Giants last year while going 6-0 with a 2.76 ERA.
A Georgia native, Smith struck out 96 while walking 21 and was named to the All-Star team for the first time in his career.
Smith had received a $17.8 million qualifying offer from the Giants and he signed with the Braves shortly before the deadline to accept that offer. Atlanta will now forfeit its second-highest pick in the 2020 draft for signing Smith.
The National League East champion Braves were looking to upgrade the bullpen after going through several closers last season, including Luke Jackson, Shane Greene and Mark Melancon.
Melancon, who was acquired by the Braves from the Giants at the trading deadline last season, reacted on Twitter to Atlanta signing his former teammate.
Melancon saved 11 games for the Braves down the stretch last season. It is unclear whether the Braves plan to keep him in the role or have Smith become the team's primary closer in 2020.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ruby Classes
Hey everyone, I hope that you are having a great day! This past week at DBC I really solidified my knowledge of classes in ruby. Today I will be explaining to you the difference between a instance variable and a local variable. Also, I will be talking about instance methods and how they work.
First off let’s dive into instance variables. Instance variable differ from local variable because instead of only being available to be called on within the method, they can be called upon anywhere in the class. You can define an instance variable with the @ symbol right before the variable. As you can see above I have identified @name as my instance variable and set it equal to name. Now, for every new method I write inside the teaching class, the instance variable can be accessed. As you can see in my message method I use the @name variable in my string so I am able to call on it.
Now let’s talk about what an instance method is. I have defined an instance method in my teaching class. It is denoted with the attr_accessor method. There are three kinds on instance methods -attr_reader -attr_writter -attr_accessor. these methods essentially make it easier to display or change instance variables without having to define methods.
What an attr_reader amounts to in a class is equal to this(I am using my class above as the example): def name @name end A reader method makes it simpler to display the variable without having to call on a method to do so. If I were to use an attr_writter in the class above it would equal this:
If I were to use an attr_writter in the class above it would equal this: def name(name) @name=name end as you can see in this method the attr_writter makes it easier for you to change the value on an instance method without having to define a method. Finally, an attr_accessor method combines both of what the reader and writer method do into one. This make it easier to display a instance variable an to also change it to something else. That’s all i have for today on instance methods and hope you have a great day!


Consider the below code which creates a SortedSet
using a comparator based on string length
public class SortedSetTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SortedSet<String> sortedSet = new TreeSet<>(Comparator.comparing(String::length));
sortedSet.addAll(Set.of("aa", "bb"));
System.out.println(sortedSet);
}
}
The output of the above is
The bb
element disappears, breaking the Set
contract. The comparator is supposed to only sort the elements and not distinguish them from one another, which is what equals does in all the collections.
On the other hand, if I enhance the comparator to always return non-zero for unequal items like below, only then do I get the correct results.
public class SortedSetTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SortedSet<String> sortedSet = new TreeSet<>(Comparator.comparing(String::length)
.thenComparing(String::toString));
sortedSet.addAll(Set.of("aa", "bb"));
System.out.println(sortedSet);
}
}
The output now is [aa, bb]
as I would expect.
The question is, why does SortedSet
ignore the equals
method in first place and removes an unequal object from the set?
The comparator
method inside the SortedSet
interface is documented as follows:
Returns the comparator used to order the elements in this set, or null if this set uses the natural ordering of its elements.
The above indicates that the comparator is only used to order the elements in the set and not to distinguish them from one another, which is what equals
is for in all the collections.
Digging into the javadoc further, it turns out that the above javadoc comment is incorrect, because there is another side note that contradicts it:
Note that the ordering maintained by a sorted set (whether or not an explicit comparator is provided) must be consistent with equals if the sorted set is to correctly implement the Set interface. (See the Comparable interface or Comparator interface for a precise definition of consistent with equals.) This is so because the Set interface is defined in terms of the equals operation, but a sorted set performs all element comparisons using its compareTo (or compare) method, so two elements that are deemed equal by this method are, from the standpoint of the sorted set, equal. The behavior of a sorted set is well-defined even if its ordering is inconsistent with equals; it just fails to obey the general contract of the Set interface.
The ordering imposed by a comparator c on a set of elements S is said to be consistent with equals if and only if c.compare(e1, e2)==0 has the same boolean value as e1.equals(e2) for every e1 and e2 in S.


Webhooks¶
Webhooks are pretty amazing, and help to turn the web into a push instead of pull platform. We have support for hitting a URL whenever you commit to your project and we will try and rebuild your docs. This only rebuilds them if something has changed, so it is cheap on the server side. As anyone who has worked with push knows, pushing a doc update to your repo and watching it get updated within seconds is an awesome feeling.
GitHub¶
If your project is hosted on GitHub, you can easily add a hook that will rebuild your docs whenever you push updates:
- Go to the “Settings” page for your project
- Click “Webhooks & Services”
- In the “Services” section, click “Add service”
- In the list of available services, click “ReadTheDocs”
- Check “Active”
- Click “Add service”
Note
The GitHub URL in your Read the Docs project must match the URL on GitHub. The URL is case-sensitive.
If you ever need to manually set the webhook on GitHub,
you can point it at https://readthedocs.org/github
.
Bitbucket¶
If your project is hosted on Bitbucket, you can easily add a hook that will rebuild your docs whenever you push updates:
- Go to the “admin” page for your project
- Click “Services”
- In the available service hooks, select “Read the Docs”
- Click “Add service”
If you ever need to manually set the webhook on Bitbucket,
you can point it at https://readthedocs.org/bitbucket
.
Others¶
Your ReadTheDocs project detail page has your post-commit hook on it; it will
look something along the lines of http://readthedocs.org/build/<project_name>
.
Regardless of which revision control system you use, you can just hit this URL
to kick off a rebuild.
You could make this part of a hook using Git, Subversion, Mercurial, or
Bazaar, perhaps through a simple script that accesses the build URL using
wget
or curl
.


Maptime does Mapbox Studio!
PLEASE interrupt if you have any questions!
First we'll tell you about it, then we'll walk through it, then we'll get our hands dirty with it.
Some things to do while we're talking:
If you haven't yet,
download Mapbox Studio from
mapbox.com /mapbox-studio. If you have,
pop it open as there may have been an
update since the last time you did.
First things first: what is Mapbox Studio?
Mapbox Studio is a tool for styling custom basemaps.
You can also use it with custom sources.
But perhaps most exciting is how Mapbox Studio works and what it makes:
VECTOR TILES!
Our plan for today:
1. Talk about vector tiles
2. Walk through the Mapbox Studio interface
3. Customize a map and upload the style to our Mapbox account
4. Play!
Let's talk about vector tiles.
Before there were vector tiles, there were raster tiles.
Raster tiles are 256px x 256px PNG files that are stored on the server and served to the browser on request.
Only the tiles in the current map view are requested and loaded. This makes maps super hella fast.
How are raster tiles made?
1. Use vector layers
2. Style the data with a styling language called CartoCSS
3. Export data and stylesheet to a renderer that creates tiled images.
The images are created at each zoom level and stored in a specific file structure as PNGs.
That makes sense, right?
Vector data + style = image with style applied to data.
When your map needs the image tile for a particular area at a particular zoom, your browser requests it from the server.
Simple.
So how does this differ from vector tiles?
1. Use vector layers
2. Style the data with a styling language called CartoCSS.
3. Export data and stylesheet...
(here's where it changes)
The data is still divided into 256 x 256 pixel tiles at each zoom level.
But the files are saved as protocol buffers, or PBF files.
Protocol buffers are super lightweight and compact.
When exported, they are stored in the same file structure as the raster tile PNGs.
Then, the style you export from Mapbox Studio is saved as a JSON file.
So when you load your map and request tiles, what is being served?
The protocol buffers in the map area and the JSON file that represents the style.
Then Mapbox servers instantly combine the two into an image and send it to your browser!
This makes the tiles way faster!
Plus, all of the vector information is still stored in the tile...
so you can use the same source with a different style easily.
This is why Mapbox Studio is totally awesome.
Let's take a look! Go ahead and open up Mapbox Studio.
Sidenote: The first time Lyzi opened Mapbox Studio, she said out loud to no one, "Holy carps! What is all this?"
So if it looks confusing, don't worry! We'll walk through it.
So, don't learn this the hard way: SAVE FIRST!
Once you've saved, go to the left column, Click Docs, then click Interface tour.
Style Editor. This is mostly what we're going to be using today.
Inspecting data. This is the vector tile data that will power our styling today.
It's cool to see what's available, and it's especially cool that we don't have to deal with data wrangling!
CartoCSS. CartoCSS is the language of tile styling.
Mapbox Studio provides a full CartoCSS reference that's at our fingertips. We also have fonts!
Vector sources. Vector sources tell us how to write our CartoCSS.
... and since this data is from OpenStreetMap we will use the different feature tags for styling.
Click the inspector button to go back to style view.
Let's walk through the CartoCSS and take a look at how this whole styling thing works.
Line 2: language.
'[name]'
will do localized labels.
Lines 5-11: selector variables for reuse. Variables!
Line 13:
Map. In the left column, click on
Docs to see what's available for
Map. Right now, we are just using
background-color
If it's still
pink for you, go ahead and change the value back to
@land
.
Save to see your changes on the map.
Actually, I don't like white for land. Let's change the value of
@land
to
#ddd
.
Ooh, pretty. Gray land!
Lines 17-24: Political boundaries.
Note the two statements in
square brackets:
[admin_level=2][maritime=0]
This is saying that this style rule
only applies to
#admin
features that both have
[admin_level=2]
and [maritime=0]
(To do or, you would separate the parameters by a comma.)
What do these
parameters mean? Let's find out! Click
Layers in the left column and scroll to find
#admin
.
Click on it.
So
admin_level
is the
OSM administrative level of the boundary.
maritime
designates a
maritime boundary.
Lines 21-23:
nested conditions. Line 21 applies to
#admin
features that are
[admin_level=2]
,
[maritime=0]
but only at
[zoom>=6]
(zoom levels
6 and higher).
Zoom in on the map to zoom level 6. You can see the admin boundaries get slightly wider.
(You can see what zoom level you're at in the top right of the map window.)
Now zoom into zoom level 8 -- you can really see the difference there!
Line 26: Places. Let's talk about labels, baby!
Line 28 starts with a zoom level condition. Country labels won't be shown at zoom levels less than 3!
Zoom out to zoom level 2 and watch the country names disappear.
scalerank
: a
metric for ranking how
important a particular label is compared to
other labels at that zoom.

The data that makes up Mapbox Streets (that we are using here in Studio) is "Frankenstein data" -- a mishmash of OpenStreetMap and Natural Earth.
Line 49:
#place_label
: like
#country_label
but
more involved.
On
polygon-gamma
, Lyzi's notebook just says:
"gammas - anti-aliasing. eyes - ow."
The rest of the style rules are pretty similar to the ones we just covered.
Woohoo! CartoCSS styling!
Now let's move on to part three of our evening: actually editing the styles.
First, zoom to San Francisco. You can do this with the search bar at top left.
Zoom in a bit so you can see the roads: zoom level 14 is good.
What is this style missing? Buildings! Let's add them in.
Add this code to your CartoCSS:
#building[zoom>=14] {
polygon-fill:#eee;
line-width:0.5;
line-color:#ddd;
}
Save to see your changes.
Buildings!
But these are
hard to see. Let's change our
land color back to white by editing our
@land
variable.
Ah, much better.
Now let's add a little depth to our buildings at higher zooms. Add this:
#building[zoom>=16] {
building-fill:#eee;
building-fill-opacity:0.9;
building-height:4;
}
Save to see your changes.
Pretty cool, right?
Indulge me in just one more.
Let's add parks to our map! This one is pretty easy:
#landuse[class='park'] {
polygon-fill:#dec;
}
Play around here and try adding some additional styling.
Remember you can inspect sources to find out what features you can style.
Also feel free to make a new project with an existing Mapbox style to poke into some other techniques for map styling.
Okay. Last part. Let's upload our styles to our Mapbox.com accounts.
In the left column, click on Settings.
Give your style a name and a description.
Also be sure to restrict the zoom levels so you don't get an upload error.
Push the big blue upload button!
Click on your Map ID. Now your style is in your Mapbox account!
Now you can
add it to a project, use it with
Mapbox.js, and
share it with your friends!
What did we learn today?
We learned about vector tiles and how they're made!
We learned how to use the Mapbox Studio interface!
We learned about CartoCSS!
We made our own map styles!
We uploaded them to our Mapbox accounts!
HOLY CARPS, Y'ALL! That's awesome!
 Pat yourself on the back.
Keep playing! Keep making stuff! It just gets more fun!
Thanks.

Error Handling
Error handling is the process of responding to and recovering from error conditions in your program. Swift provides first-class support for throwing, catching, propagating, and manipulating recoverable errors at runtime.
Some operations aren’t guaranteed to always complete execution or produce a useful output. Optionals are used to represent the absence of a value, but when an operation fails, it’s often useful to understand what caused the failure, so that your code can respond accordingly.
As an example, consider the task of reading and processing data from a file on disk. There are a number of ways this task can fail, including the file not existing at the specified path, the file not having read permissions, or the file not being encoded in a compatible format. Distinguishing among these different situations allows a program to resolve some errors and to communicate to the user any errors it can’t resolve.
Representing and Throwing Errors
In Swift, errors are represented by values of types that conform to the Error
protocol. This empty protocol indicates that a type can be used for error handling.
Swift enumerations are particularly well suited to modeling a group of related error conditions, with associated values allowing for additional information about the nature of an error to be communicated. For example, here’s how you might represent the error conditions of operating a vending machine inside a game:
enum VendingMachineError: Error {
case invalidSelection
case insufficientFunds(coinsNeeded: Int)
case outOfStock
}
Throwing an error lets you indicate that something unexpected happened and the normal flow of execution can’t continue. You use a throw
statement to throw an error. For example, the following code throws an error to indicate that five additional coins are needed by the vending machine:
throw VendingMachineError.insufficientFunds(coinsNeeded: 5)
Handling Errors
When an error is thrown, some surrounding piece of code must be responsible for handling the error—for example, by correcting the problem, trying an alternative approach, or informing the user of the failure.
There are four ways to handle errors in Swift. You can propagate the error from a function to the code that calls that function, handle the error using a do
-catch
statement, handle the error as an optional value, or assert that the error will not occur. Each approach is described in a section below.
When a function throws an error, it changes the flow of your program, so it’s important that you can quickly identify places in your code that can throw errors. To identify these places in your code, write the try
keyword—or the try?
or try!
variation—before a piece of code that calls a function, method, or initializer that can throw an error. These keywords are described in the sections below.
Propagating Errors Using Throwing Functions
To indicate that a function, method, or initializer can throw an error, you write the throws
keyword in the function’s declaration after its parameters. A function marked with throws
is called a throwing function. If the function specifies a return type, you write the throws
keyword before the return arrow (->
).
func canThrowErrors() throws -> String
func cannotThrowErrors() -> String
A throwing function propagates errors that are thrown inside of it to the scope from which it’s called.
In the example below, the VendingMachine
class has a vend(itemNamed:)
method that throws an appropriate VendingMachineError
if the requested item is not available, is out of stock, or has a cost that exceeds the current deposited amount:
struct Item {
var price: Int
var count: Int
}
class VendingMachine {
var inventory = [
"Candy Bar": Item(price: 12, count: 7),
"Chips": Item(price: 10, count: 4),
"Pretzels": Item(price: 7, count: 11)
]
var coinsDeposited = 0
func vend(itemNamed name: String) throws {
guard let item = inventory[name] else {
throw VendingMachineError.invalidSelection
}
guard item.count > 0 else {
throw VendingMachineError.outOfStock
}
guard item.price <= coinsDeposited else {
throw VendingMachineError.insufficientFunds(coinsNeeded: item.price - coinsDeposited)
}
coinsDeposited -= item.price
var newItem = item
newItem.count -= 1
inventory[name] = newItem
print("Dispensing \(name)")
}
}
The implementation of the vend(itemNamed:)
method uses guard
statements to exit the method early and throw appropriate errors if any of the requirements for purchasing a snack aren’t met. Because a throw
statement immediately transfers program control, an item will be vended only if all of these requirements are met.
Because the vend(itemNamed:)
method propagates any errors it throws, any code that calls this method must either handle the errors—using a do
-catch
statement, try?
, or try!
—or continue to propagate them. For example, the buyFavoriteSnack(person:vendingMachine:)
in the example below is also a throwing function, and any errors that the vend(itemNamed:)
method throws will propagate up to the point where the buyFavoriteSnack(person:vendingMachine:)
function is called.
let favoriteSnacks = [
"Alice": "Chips",
"Bob": "Licorice",
"Eve": "Pretzels",
]
func buyFavoriteSnack(person: String, vendingMachine: VendingMachine) throws {
let snackName = favoriteSnacks[person] ?? "Candy Bar"
try vendingMachine.vend(itemNamed: snackName)
}
In this example, the buyFavoriteSnack(person: vendingMachine:)
function looks up a given person’s favorite snack and tries to buy it for them by calling the vend(itemNamed:)
method. Because the vend(itemNamed:)
method can throw an error, it’s called with the try
keyword in front of it.
Throwing initializers can propagate errors in the same way as throwing functions. For example, the initializer for the PurchasedSnack
structure in the listing below calls a throwing function as part of the initialization process, and it handles any errors that it encounters by propagating them to its caller.
struct PurchasedSnack {
let name: String
init(name: String, vendingMachine: VendingMachine) throws {
try vendingMachine.vend(itemNamed: name)
self.name = name
}
}
Handling Errors Using Do-Catch
You use a do
-catch
statement to handle errors by running a block of code. If an error is thrown by the code in the do
clause, it is matched against the catch
clauses to determine which one of them can handle the error.
Here is the general form of a do
-catch
statement:
do {
try expression
statements
} catch pattern 1 {
statements
} catch pattern 2 where condition {
statements
}
You write a pattern after catch
to indicate what errors that clause can handle. If a catch
clause doesn’t have a pattern, the clause matches any error and binds the error to a local constant named error
. For more information about pattern matching, see Patterns.
The catch
clauses don’t have to handle every possible error that the code in its do
clause can throw. If none of the catch
clauses handle the error, the error propagates to the surrounding scope. However, the error must be handled by some surrounding scope—either by an enclosing do
-catch
clause that handles the error or by being inside a throwing function. For example, the following code handles all three cases of the VendingMachineError
enumeration, but all other errors have to be handled by its surrounding scope:
var vendingMachine = VendingMachine()
vendingMachine.coinsDeposited = 8
do {
try buyFavoriteSnack(person: "Alice", vendingMachine: vendingMachine)
} catch VendingMachineError.invalidSelection {
print("Invalid Selection.")
} catch VendingMachineError.outOfStock {
print("Out of Stock.")
} catch VendingMachineError.insufficientFunds(let coinsNeeded) {
print("Insufficient funds. Please insert an additional \(coinsNeeded) coins.")
}
// Prints "Insufficient funds. Please insert an additional 2 coins."
In the above example, the buyFavoriteSnack(person:vendingMachine:)
function is called in a try
expression, because it can throw an error. If an error is thrown, execution immediately transfers to the catch
clauses, which decide whether to allow propagation to continue. If no error is thrown, the remaining statements in the do
statement are executed.
Converting Errors to Optional Values
You use try?
to handle an error by converting it to an optional value. If an error is thrown while evaluating the try?
expression, the value of the expression is nil
. For example, in the following code x
and y
have the same value and behavior:
func someThrowingFunction() throws -> Int {
// ...
}
let x = try? someThrowingFunction()
let y: Int?
do {
y = try someThrowingFunction()
} catch {
y = nil
}
If someThrowingFunction()
throws an error, the value of x
and y
is nil
. Otherwise, the value of x
and y
is the value that the function returned. Note that x
and y
are an optional of whatever type someThrowingFunction()
returns. Here the function returns an integer, so x
and y
are optional integers.
Using try?
lets you write concise error handling code when you want to handle all errors in the same way. For example, the following code uses several approaches to fetch data, or returns nil
if all of the approaches fail.
func fetchData() -> Data? {
if let data = try? fetchDataFromDisk() { return data }
if let data = try? fetchDataFromServer() { return data }
return nil
}
Disabling Error Propagation
Sometimes you know a throwing function or method won’t, in fact, throw an error at runtime. On those occasions, you can write try!
before the expression to disable error propagation and wrap the call in a runtime assertion that no error will be thrown. If an error actually is thrown, you’ll get a runtime error.
For example, the following code uses a loadImage(atPath:)
function, which loads the image resource at a given path or throws an error if the image can’t be loaded. In this case, because the image is shipped with the application, no error will be thrown at runtime, so it is appropriate to disable error propagation.
let photo = try! loadImage(atPath: "./Resources/John Appleseed.jpg")
Specifying Cleanup Actions
You use a defer
statement to execute a set of statements just before code execution leaves the current block of code. This statement lets you do any necessary cleanup that should be performed regardless of how execution leaves the current block of code—whether it leaves because an error was thrown or because of a statement such as return
or break
. For example, you can use a defer
statement to ensure that file descriptors are closed and manually allocated memory is freed.
A defer
statement defers execution until the current scope is exited. This statement consists of the defer
keyword and the statements to be executed later. The deferred statements may not contain any code that would transfer control out of the statements, such as a break
or a return
statement, or by throwing an error. Deferred actions are executed in the reverse of the order that they’re written in your source code. That is, the code in the first defer
statement executes last, the code in the second defer
statement executes second to last, and so on. The last defer
statement in source code order executes first.
func processFile(filename: String) throws {
if exists(filename) {
let file = open(filename)
defer {
close(file)
}
while let line = try file.readline() {
// Work with the file.
}
// close(file) is called here, at the end of the scope.
}
}
The above example uses a defer
statement to ensure that the open(_:)
function has a corresponding call to close(_:)
.

The Object of My Affection (1998) 2 1/2 stars out of 4. Starring Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Tim Daly and Nigel Hawthorne.
The Object of My Affection is not a simple boy-girl love story.
It's actually a boy-boy, boy-girl, boy-boy, boy-girl love story.
George (Paul Rudd), a teacher, learns at a dinner party thrown by the parents of one of his young pupils that he is about to be dumped by his lover, Robert (Tim Daly).
To atone for her faux paus, Nina (Jennifer Aniston) offers George the spare bedroom in her Brooklyn apartment.
Nina, a social worker, is dating Vince (John Pankow, cousin Ira on Mad About You), a civil liberties lawyer, who tries to run her life.
When Nina discovers she is pregnant by Vince, she decides she would rather have George help her raise the child than Vince. Nina and George fall in love with each other, but their relationship remains platonic.
They have an "understanding." If Nina - or George - finds another man, they are free to bring him to the apartment. But, since they are so happy together, neither is looking.
That is, until George meets Paul, who is involved with an older man, Rodney, who ...
All right, already. You get the idea.
The Object of My Affection, with a Wendy Wasserstein screenplay based on a novel by Stephen McCauley, works as an odd sort of romantic comedy. And that's strange, because most of the main characters, especially George and Nina, are basically self-centered individuals who leave broken hearts strewn all over New York and Brooklyn as they search for happiness.
They are not mean. They don't hurt others deliberately. Even if you can't respect them, you can like and even empathize with them.
Aniston is a lovely actress with a winning personality.  Their characters have frailties we can recognize in ourselves, which compensates for the movie's undercurrent of pain and makes the film a success.
This may seem an odd project for director Nicholas Hytner, whose previous credits were the costume dramas The Madness of King George and the screen adaptation of Arthur Miller's The Crucible.
Hytner allows the audience to get to know the various characters, which include Nigel Hawthorne in the small but dignified role of Paul's rejected older partner.
Considering all the hurt that people inflict on one another throughout the movie, The Object of My Affection is civilized. Maybe it needed more of an edge. Maybe George and Nina's self-absorption should have been emphasized more strongly. But it's difficult to get an audience to root for disagreable protagonists in a love story. Difficult, but not impossible.
The Object of My Affection is a crowd-pleasing movie. Perhaps Wasserstein and Hytner should not have worried about being so appealing. It may have made for a better movie.

Leo (July 23-August
22)
"A very little key will open a very heavy door," wrote Charles Dickens in his short story "Hunted Down."
Make that one of your guiding meditations in the coming days, Leo. In the back of your mind, keep
visualizing the image of a little key opening a heavy door. Doing so will help ensure that you'll be alert
when clues about the real key's location become available. You will have a keen intuitive sense of how
you'll need to respond if you want to procure it. Halloween costume suggestion: proud and protective
possessor of a magic key.

First Blog After I Back to Tjpu.
hey hi, long time no see again it’s been busy months after I got here. I got here early but still got soooo much crap paper work to do.when I got all of those stuffs done. I suddenly felt like , oh god. why are you get back to this crap-land and why the hell did you gain after those days?
when those feeling gone, I just got some ideas to keep working on my APP,aka ‘DBCI’. so the DBCI and polo fulfilled my days a lot. now the ‘DBCI’ , I think it’s kinda like my FIRST MAJOR PROJECT , the one that I think people will actually like, feel it interesting and use it sometime for a while. as I wrote in my resume, I want to writing something that people like, I didn’t realize that day just CAME, now I just need a partner to do some UI stuff and promote it a little bit. I think it could be huge!
besides ‘DBCI’, I met some interesting girls that I can hang out with,that’s is just GREAT. for a guy like me don’t usually go to class , don’t usually talk to girls that not familiar with before, is hard to find girls like I have right now to hang out with. I am not saying I am not interesting or funny or attractive. I just do know where my ‘in’ is.
and I really really want say thank to my best brothers in tjpu, I am so so honored to know you two, I will never forget your help when I got here alone!
I think that’s all ! this place sucks.but I still need to find a way out, to somewhere that I truly belonged to. peace, hope my ‘DBCI’ will grow up soon and have a nice day!
and i just had a really nice day with you.

--- layout: post authors: ["Greg Wilson"] title: "Software Carpentry Foundation: Organizational Membership" date: 2014-12-03 time: "09:05:00" tags: ["Software Carpentry Foundation", "Community"] favorite: true ---
As we said in the previous post in this series, our interim Steering Committee has adopted bylaws for the Software Carpentry Foundation. They have also agreed on four tiers of membership so that universities, companies, government labs, and other entities can help support and guide our work. The authoritative version is stored in this public GitHub repository, but in brief, the tiers are:
Each membership tier is described below. The Steering Committee and Advisory Council will revisit them in a year's time to ensure they're meeting everyone's needs, and we will always be willing to discuss other arrangements. Please mail {{site.board_inquiries}} if you would like more information, or would like to start a discussion about how you could help. And of course, individual donations to the cause will always be welcome:
{% include paypal %}Next up: organizing and funding workshops.
An internal workshop is one whose audience is mainly from the host organization (e.g., a workshop run by the University of Melbourne for staff and students of the University of Melbourne).
An external workshop is one whose audience is mainly for people not at or from the host organization (e.g., a workshop organized by the University of Melbourne but run at the University of Wollongong).
Coordinating a workshop means handling the administration involved in lining up instructors, administering assessment questionnaires, providing information on attendees to the SCF, etc. Staff working for the organizer do not necessarily teach the workshop.
Hosting a workshop means providing space for it, supporting travel costs for instructors (if applicable), etc.
The administration fee is the fee the SCF charges per workshop to support curriculum development, instructor training, and central administrative costs. The amount is specified in the current version of the workshop guidelines.
The Software Carpentry Foundation offers three tiers of organizational membership:
A Partner is a university, research lab, corporation, non-profit, or other organization that has made a long-term commitment to the growth and spread of Software Carpentry. A Partner:
Has at least 3 qualified instructors associated with it.
Coordinates at least 20 workshops annually. If the Partner has a principal location (e.g., a university campus), at least half the workshops it coordinates must be at other sites; if the Partner is a distributed collaboration, no more than one third of the workshops may be at any single site.
Provides at least 20 person-days of staff time or US$10,000 to the SCF annually for activities agreed upon with the SCF Steering Committee.
May advertise its status as an SCF Partner.
May elect to not pay an administration fee for internal workshops.
In return, the SCF:
Invites the Partner to appoint a representative to its Advisory Council.
Offers to run at least one instructor training course for the Partner annually.
Designates the organization as an official SCF Partner in all of its materials.
Helps publicize relevant activities by the Partner, such as other training courses, software releases, and notable scientific successes.
Assists the Partner with recruiting, e.g., by publicizing open positions in social media.
An Affiliate is a university, research lab, corporation, non-profit, or other organization that is building a longer-term relationship with the SCF. An Affiliate:
Has at least 2 qualified instructors associated with it.
Organizes at least 3 workshops annually (either internal or external).
May advertise its status as an SCF Affiliate.
May elect to provide at least 10 person-days of staff time or US$5000 annually for activities agreed upon with the SCF Steering Committee in lieu of paying workshop administration fees.
In return, the SCF:
Reserves 2 seats in each online offering of the instructor training course for Affiliate staff.
Works to offer geographically local instructor training annually in conjunction with other Affiliates if requested.
Helps publicize relevant activities by the Affiliate, such as other training courses, software releases, and notable scientific successes.
Assists the Affiliate with recruiting, e.g., by publicizing open positions in social media.
A Sponsor is an organization that wishes to support SCF activities in a significant way, but does not wish to coordinate or host workshops itself. A Sponsor:
Underwrites the cost of 2 or more workshops per year.
Provides at least 5 person-days of staff time or US$2000 to the SCF annually.
May advertise its status as an SCF Sponsor.
In return, the SCF:
Reserves 2 seats in each online offering of the instructor training course for people nominated by the Sponsor.
Publicizes the Sponsor's support.
Assists the Sponsor with recruiting, e.g., by publicizing open positions in social media.
Any individual or organizational backer which does not meet the criteria above is considered a Donor. The SCF:
Publicizes the Donor's support.
Assists the Sponsor with recruiting, e.g., by publicizing open positions in social media.


This project report relates to The
English Novel, 1770–1829: A Bibliographical Survey
of Prose Fiction published in the British Isles, general
editors Peter Garside, James Raven, and Rainer Schöwerling,
2 vols. (Oxford: OUP, 2000). In particular it offers fresh
commentary on the entries in the second volume, which
was co-edited by Peter Garside and Rainer Schöwerling,
with the assistance of Christopher Skelton-Foord and Karin
Wünsche. The present report represents the fifth
and last Update in what was intended to be a series of
annual Reports, each featuring information that has come
to light in the preceding year as a result of activities
in CEIR and through contributions sent by interested individuals
outside Cardiff.
The entries below are organised in a
way that matches the order of material in the English
Novel, 1770–1829. While making reference to
any relevant changes that may have occurred in previous
Updates, the ‘base’ it refers to is the printed
Bibliography and not the preceding reports. Sections A
and B concern authorship, the first of these proposing
a change to the attribution as given in the printed Bibliography,
and the second recording the discovery of new information
of interest that has nevertheless not led presently to
new attributions. Section C includes one additional novel
(though not seen), which appears to match the criteria
for inclusion and should ideally have been incorporated
in the printed Bibliography. Section D lists a title already
in the Bibliography for which a surviving copy could not
be previously found, while the last two sections (E and
F) involve information such as is usually found in the
Notes field of entries. As previously, those owning
copies of the printed Bibliography might wish to amend
entries accordingly. An element of colour coding has been
used to facilitate recognition of the nature of changes,
with red denoting revisions
and additions to existing entries in the Bibliography,
and the additional title discovered being picked out in
blue. Reference numbers (e.g. 1805: 10) are the same as
those in the English Novel, 1770–1829; abbreviations
match those listed at the beginning volume 2 of the English
Novel, though in a few cases these are spelled out
more fully for the convenience of present readers. EN3
refers to the online The English Novel 1830–36
(http://www.cf.ac.uk/encap/corvey/1830s).
This report was prepared by Peter Garside,
with significant inputs of information from Drs Jacqueline
Belanger and Sharon Ragaz, while working on the last stages
of the now completed online database British Fiction,
1800–1829: A Database of Production, Circulation
& Reception (http://www.british-fiction.cf.ac.uk).
A number of the details included in this last report are
already incorporated there, and it is hoped that those
not assimilated will be added at the next updating of
the database. Information relating to the first English
translation of Benjamin Constant’s Adolphe
(1816: 22) has kindly been supplied by Cecil Courtney
of Christ’s College, Cambridge; that relating to
William Child Green’s The Woodland Family
(1824: 44) by Gillian Hughes.

This title, however, was claimed as Gillies’s at
least twice during appeals to the Royal Literary Fund
(RLF). ‘Old Tapestry. A Novel. 2 vols. 1816 [sic]’
features in a ‘List of Works’ sent as part
of an appeal in Apr 1838 (RLF 22: 708, item 5); and again
as part of a completed list of ‘Titles of Published
Works’ on a form dated 2 Jan 1850, this time as
‘Old Tapestry a Novel—12mo. Edinb. 1819’
(RLF 22: 708, Item 19). The Edinburgh manufacture and
management of the work also accords with Gillies’s
career.
B: New Information Relating
to Authorship, but not Presently Leading to Further Attribution
Changes
1805: 10 ANON, THE MYSTERIOUS
PROTECTOR: A NOVEL. DEDICATED TO LADY CRESPIGNY. Further
to the apparent attribution of this novel to Lady Crespigny
in J. Brown’s Circulating Library in Wigan, as reported
in Update 4, advertisements have been found in the Morning
Chronicle and Star newspapers for 6 Dec 1805
stating that the novel was ‘Corrected and revised
by Lady Crespigny’. This evidently formed part of
a marketing ploy, however, and no mention of any such
direct assistance is found in the ultra-respectful Dedication
of the novel to Lady Crespigny signed ‘M. C.’.
Lady Mary Champion de Crespigny (1748?–1812),
née Mary Clarke, is one of most commonly-found
persons in subscription lists to novels early in the 19th
century. Apart from writing The Pavilion. A Novel
(EN1 1796: 35), she was also the acknowledged author of
A Monody to the Memory of the Right Honourable the
Lord Collingwood (London: Cadell & Davies, 1810).
1805: 68 TEMPLE, Mrs
{F.}, FERDINAND FITZORMOND; OR, THE FOOL OF NATURE. A
review in the Flowers of Literature for 1806 identifies
the author as the same Mrs Temple whose Poems it
had reviewed in 1805: ‘Her preface is here signed
F. Temple: the Poems appeared under the name of
Laura Sophia Temple’ (p. 502). The title is also
mentioned in an introductory section on ‘Novelists’
in the same issue of the journal: ‘Mrs. Temple,
the fair author of some excellent poems, of which we took
ample notice in our preceding volume, has produced a ponderous
novel, in five volumes, entitled Ferdinand Fitzormond’
(p. lxxvii). The combined attribution also gains credence
in view of all three works involved, Flowers of Literature,
Ferdinand Fitzormond, and Poems (1805),
being issued by the same publisher, viz. Richard Phillips.
On the other hand, according to J. R. de J. Jackson’s
Romantic Poetry by Women: A Bibliography, 1770–1835
(1993), pp. 346–47, Laura Sophia Temple (1763–after
1820) was married to Samuel B. Sweetman, which does not
accord with the initial ‘F’. as found in the
‘Advertisement’ to Ferdinand Fitzormond.
There may, however, be some significance in Temple’s
mother, the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Temple,
being named Frances. The address ‘To the Reader’
in Poems (1805) is dated ‘Chelsea, Dec. 16,
1804’; the ‘Advertisement’ to Ferdinand
Fitzormond, London, May 1805. Laura Sophia Temple
was also the acknowledged author of Lyric and Other
Poems (1808) and The Siege of Zaragoza, and Other
Poems (1812).
1808: 47 GENLIS, [Stéphanie-Félicité,
Comtesse] de, SAINCLAIR, OR THE VICTIM OF THE ARTS AND
SCIENCES. TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF MADAME DE GENLIS.
According to the concluding comment to a notice of Genlis’s
The Siege of Rochelle (1808: 48) in the Critical
Review, the above title was also translated by Robert
Charles Dallas: ‘This novel, as well as ‘Sainclair’,
which we have already noticed, is translated, as we understand
it, by Mr. Dallas, the author of Percival, &c.’
(Appendix to 3rd ser. 13 (Jan–Apr 1808), 525–28).
Unlike 1808: 48, however, the present title-page does
not attribute the translation to Dallas, and the Critical
Review’s assertion must be regarded with some
scepticism in view of this inequality.
1816: 22 CONSTANT DE
[REBECQUE], Benjamin [Henri]; [WALKER, Alexander (trans.)],
ADOLPHE: AN ANECDOTE FOUND AMONG THE PAPERS OF AN UNKNOWN
PERSON, AND PUBLISHED BY M. BENJAMIN DE CONSTANT. An account
of this first English translation, together with valuable
details concerning Alexander Walker, the translator, can
be found in C. P. Courtney, ‘Alexander Walker and
Benjamin Constant: A Note on the English Translation of
Adolphe’, French Studies, 29: 2 (Apr
1975), 137–50. As Courtney describes, Walker (1779–1852)
was a medical student in Scotland, and contributor to
several medical journals, who came to London to seek literary
work, and was in communication with Constant (who had
also studied at Edinburgh University) during the latter’s
visit to England (Jan–July 1816). Walker
went on to have a prolific literary career of his own,
writing or contributing to a variety of medical and scientific
works, and acting from 1824 as the general literary editorial
of the hugely ambitious though short-lived European
Review, whose aim was to publish editions simultaneously
in four different languages. Walker was evidently committed
to the Encyclopaedic ideal, and a strong sense that all
knowledge is related underlies a succession of more popular
informational works produced in the 1830s, including The
Nervous System (1834), Intermarriage (1838),
Women psychologically considered … (1839),
and Female Beauty (1837), the last nominally at
least by Mrs Alexander Walker. Library catalogues, however,
have sometimes failed to link the translator of Constant
with the ‘physiologist’ Alexander Walker,
and indeed there has been a more endemic failure to bring
the whole oeuvre under one single identified author. A
copy of Walker’s somewhat eccentric pamphlet The
Political and Military State of Europe, 1807; an Address
to the British Nation … (Edinburgh: James Ballantyne
& Co., 1807) reportedly contains a list of other works
by Walker in preparation, including novels, though without
precise titles for the novels being given.
Additional
information about the original editions of Adolphe
in French that shortly preceded the above translation
can be found in Courtney’s meticulously detailed
A Bibliography of Editions of the Writings of Benjamin
Constant to 1833 (London: MHRA, 1981), pp. 47–62.
Whereas the EN2 1816: 22 entry merely states ‘Paris,
1816’ for the French original, in actuality there
were clearly two separate editions in French, one published
from London and one from Paris, the London edition slightly
ahead of the other. The first of these (Courtney 18a)
bears the imprint of Henry Colburn (London) and Tröttel
[sic] and Wurtz (Paris); this was entered at Stationers’
Hall on 7 June 1816, having been delivered on 30 Apr to
the London printers Schulze and Dean. The first Paris
edition (Courtney 18b), published by Treuttel and Würtz
in association with Colburn, and presumably set from proofs
sent from London, appears to have been published on or
about 15 June 1816. A second edition (Courtney 18c), effectively
a reissue of the first Colburn French edition, with new
preliminaries and the addition of a ‘Préface
de la seconde édition’, was probably first
issued in July or Aug [additional source: first advertisement
in Morning Chronicle, 17 Aug 1816]. Walker’s
translation (Courtney 18i), another Colburn production,
incorporates the same Preface, and a copy was apparently
entered at Stationers’ Hall on 3 September 1816.
A useful summary of the chronology of the different editions
can also be found in C. P. Courtney, ‘The Text of
Constant’s Adolphe’, French Studies,
37: 3 (July 1983), 296–309 (pp. 296–97);
while similar bibliographical information also features
in the Introduction to the same author’s edition
of Adolphe (Oxford: Blackwell, 1989).
1819: 23 [BALFOUR, Alexander],
CAMPBELL; OR, THE SCOTTISH PROBATIONER. A NOVEL. A useful
account of this novel, and the three others written by
Alexander Balfour (see 1822: 17, 1823: 21, and 1826: 12),
can be found in David Macbeth Moir’s ‘Memoir’
of the author in Balfour’s posthumously-published
Weeds and Wildflowers (Edinburgh, 1830). Whereas
the above novel was published from Edinburgh by Oliver
& Boyd, its three successors were published by A.
K. Newman at the Minerva Press, this offering a fairly
unusual instance of a domiciled Scottish fiction writer
publishing in London at the height of the indigenous ‘Scotch
Novel’ (James Hogg provides another instance). Moir
offers a critical commentary on each title, with that
on Highland Mary (1826) pointing to two levels
of esteem in the fiction industry: ‘if we seldom
find it in the boudoir of the great, the circulating-library
copies are dog-eared, and thumbed to tatters,—no
very uncertain criterion (whatever be Mr Hazlitt’s
theory) of its merits’ (p. lxxxv).
1825: 30 FOUQUÉ,
[Friedrich Heinrich Karl], Baron de la Motte, THE MAGIC
RING; A ROMANCE, FROM THE GERMAN. Further support for
Update 4’s identification of Robert Pierce GILLIES
as the translator can be found in the Royal Literary Fund
archive, where this title forms part of lists accompanying
three appeals by Gillies to the Fund (RLF 22: 708, Items
5; 8, 19).
1826: 38 [GILLIES, Robert
Pierce], TALES OF A VOYAGER TO THE ARCTIC OCEAN. NSTC
2G10257 and 2A15071 describe Harvard as attributing this
title to George Robert Gleig. No substantiation, however,
has been discovered for such an attribution, and the present
Hollis electronic catalogue for the Harvard libraries
makes the more conventional attribution to Gillies. Nevertheless
this title, and the second series of Tales of a Voyager
(1829: 33), seem to sit awkwardly with other contemporary
works by Gillies. In his Memoirs of a Literary Veteran
(3 vols., 1851), Gillies’s narrative covering the
years 1825–30 highlights only one novel:
‘Returning to town at Christmas 1829 […] the
first use I made of my little gasp of time was to finish
a book, “Basil Barrington” for which Mr. Colburn
paid me £200 before it was written’ (III,
213). Basil Barrington and his Friends (EN3 1830:
50) mentions no other works ‘by the author’
on its title-page, which seems an odd omission since Colburn
was also the publisher of both series of Tales of a
Voyager to the Arctic Ocean. Two other works published
in the early 1830s, Ranulph de Rohais (EN3 1830:
51) and Thurlston Tales (1835: 46), published by
William Kidd and John Macrone respectively, do however
describes themselves as ‘by the Author of “Tales
of a Voyager to the Arctic Ocean”’. Both these
latter are likewise conventionally attributed to Gillies,
though whether by title association or for more substantive
reasons is a moot point. Certainly, viewed as whole, the
two series of Tales of a Voyager together with
Ranulph de Rohais and Thurlston Tales appear
to form a distinct group, with Basil Barrington
lacking any visible connection with any of its constituents.
Further
doubt is cast by the records of the Royal Literary Fund,
which include a series of appeals made by Gillies and
lastly his widow, which as a matter of course meant providing
lists of his works. ‘“Basil Barrington and
his Friends” in three vols. published by Colburn’
is given prominence in Gillies’s first letter to
the society on 20 June 1831 (RLF 22: 708, Item 1), and
was subsequently listed in appeals made in 1838, 1846,
1850, and 1859 (Items 5, 8, 19, and 28). At no point on
the other hand is there any mention of the two series
of Tales of a Voyager to the Arctic Ocean, Ranulph
de Rohais, or Thurlston Tales. Certainly in
his appeal of 1850, Gillies introduced the possibility
that not all his writings were included: ‘I regret
to say that some of these are the only part of my published
works which it is in my power to obtain & submit
to the society’ (Item 19). But it is unlikely all
four novels would be suppressed or difficult to find;
and, unless other supportive evidence can be found, Gillies’s
authorship of 1826: 38, 1829: 33, as well as EN3 1830:
51 and 1835: 46, must be considered as at least doubtful.

1801: 60 SICKELMORE,
Richard, RAYMOND, A NOVEL. OCLC entry (Accession No. 49374069),
itself based on copy in Library at University California,
Berkeley (PR.5452.S16.R3.1801), describes as containing
‘List of subscribers’—vol. 1, pp. [vii]–xii’.
None was found in the Corvey copy used for the Bibliography
entry,
1822: 76 TROTTER,
Robert, LOWRAN CASTLE, OR THE WILD BOAR OF CURRIDOO: WITH
OTHER TALES, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE SUPERSTITIONS, MANNERS,
AND CUSTOMS OF GALLOWAY. OCLC entry (Accession No. 43658913),
itself based on copy in Library at Columbia University
(GR145.G3.T76.1822g), describes as containing ‘Subscribers’
names’, pp. [160]–168. The BL copy
at RB.23.b.12566 is also reported as saying ‘List
of subscribers’ names within numbered pagination
at end of text’, that pagination ending at p. 168.
The copy at E NG.1177.f.4, which formed the Bibliography
entry, ended at p. 157, and so evidently lacked the subscription
list.
F: Further Editions Previously
not Noted
1807: 15 COTTIN, [Sophie
Ristaud]; MEEKE, [Mary] (trans.), ELIZABETH; OR,
THE EXILES OF SIBERIA. A TALE, FOUNDED ON FACTS. ALTERED
FROM THE FRENCH OF MADAME DE COTTIN. The Bibliography
entry is based on the Minerva Press edition, located at
Yale University, at that point considered to represent
the first published translation. Advertisements in the
Morning Chronicle on 23 Jan 1807 and the Star
on 18 Feb 1807 point to a possibly earlier 1-vol. edn
issued by Oddy and Co., W. Oddy, and Appleyards. These
adverts are apparently matched by the entry in OCLC (Accession
No. 12265756), itself based on the copy at Indiana University
(PQ2211.C53.E613.1807). The Indiana catalogue describes
this as: Elizabeth, or, The Exiles of Siberia: A Tale
founded upon Facts from the French of Mad. Cottin,
London: Printed for Appleyard [and 2 others], 1807, 254p.
The Glasgow University Library catalogue also describes
a similarly-titled work (Sp. Coll. Z6-l.22), published
by Appleyard, 1807.
1816: 37 JOHNSTONE,
Mary, THE LAIRDS OF GLENFERN; OR, HIGHLANDERS OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY. A TALE. OCLC entry (Accession No. 32517107),
itself based on copy in Library at the University of North
Carolina (PR.4826.J6.32.L3), describes a copy of this
novel with the joint imprint: London: Printed at the Minerva
Press for A. K. Newman: Edinburgh: John Anderson’.
John Anderson’s name is missing in the Corvey copy
used for the Bibliography entry, whose t.p. and colophons
match that of a routine Minerva Press title. It is not
impossible, though, that the work was actually initiated
in Edinburgh, and then sold on to Newman and Co.

Osram backs AMS takeover as auto downturn triggers 2019 loss
Osram urged shareholders to back a US$5 billion takeover bid from Austria's AMS and said it would cut costs and not pay a dividend as it posted a loss for the fiscal year ending in September, hit by a downturn in the auto industry.
FRANKFURT: Osram urged shareholders to back a US$5 billion takeover bid from Austria's AMS and said it would cut costs and not pay a dividend as it posted a loss for the fiscal year ending in September, hit by a downturn in the auto industry.
"The offer price of 41 euros per share in cash represents an appropriate valuation of the company from the point of view of the boards," the company said in a statement.
Shareholders have until December 5, 2019 to accept the offer, Osram said.
In the fiscal year ended in September Osram posted a 343 million euros (US$377.99 million) net loss, down from a 188 million euros profit in the year-earlier period.
"Osram does not expect global automobile production to recover in the short term," the company said, adding that employees at German locations are protected from merger-related layoffs until the end of 2022.
AMS renewed its takeover attempt of Osram earlier this month, hoping its latest offer would convince investors with a lower acceptance rate and concessions to the German lighting group's management and trade unions.

CODE INNOVATION SERIES creates an open-source platform for 25+ colleges and students across India to ignite the passion amongst students to build a better world around us and support Open Source.
A patient-centered information exchange system where the patients, doctors and the pharmacists are all connected under one roof.
It helps the patient to share his/her medical history with the doctor and the previous medications digitally. It also connects to the nearby chemist for easy availability of right medicines.


Lately, I’ve been diving into the world of simple graphic elements and finding ways to render them on a compact SSD1306, similar to those I’ve used in other projects like SpaceHex - Github.
In this post, we’ll explore the development process of a modular display-based tool using the RP2040 Pi Pico and an SSD1306 OLED display with Micropython.
Getting started Link to heading
I created a new repo that focuses on overcoming unexpected obstacles that one might face when getting started.
While working on the code, I referred to a wealth of Micropython documentation, including:
- The official Micropython documentation
- Specifically, Framebuf
- Official Raspberry Pi Pico documentation
I utilized a highly customized version of the Adafruit SSD1306 Python Library.
Demo Link to heading
To run the demo code, you’ll need an RP2040 Pi Pico board, an SSD1306 OLED, Micropython installed on your board, and a compatible development environment.
Alternatively,
You can follow along with the Wokwi web RP2040 simulator.
Setting up the Hardware: Link to heading
- Connect the SSD1306 OLED display to the RP2040 Pi Pico board by wiring the appropriate pins.
- OLED VCC to Pico 3V3 pin
- OLED GND to Pico GND pin
- OLED SCL to Pico GP1 pin
- OLED SDA to Pico GP0 pin
- Install Micropython on your RP2040 Pi Pico board by following the instructions provided.
Running the Demo(s): Link to heading
- Clone the repo and navigate to the
pico-oled-demo
directory. - Use
rshell
to copy a demo to the Pico and connect to the REPL. - Reset the Pico to start the program, or use the manual method to run the demo by copying the demo code to a file named
main.py
on your RP2040 Pi Pico board.
