Lawless lasses: The 11 female criminals to be wary of in the North East
Cruel and cunning crooks who prove women can be just as bad as men
by Sophie DoughtyThese cruel and cunning female crooks give the so-called 'fairer sex' a bad name.
Statistically men are far more likely to be arrested or prosecuted than women.
Male offenders or suspects accounted for 85% of arrests made by police across the UK in 2017/2018, the latest figures available.
In the same year 74% of those prosecuted were male and 26% female.
However, courts here on Tyneside have seen their fair share of cunning and cruel criminals in the dock, over recent years.
And today we take a look at some of our lawless lasses, who have proven that women can be just as bad as men.
Stephanie Stainsby:
Despicable heroin addict Stainsby stole from a vulnerable old lady who was using a cash machine to feed her habit.
The 90-year-old victim had just withdrawn £200 in cash from an ATM in Gateshead when 32-year-old Stainsby plucked the cash from her pocket
Stainsby, of Eslington Court, Gateshead, pleaded guilty to theft at South Tyneside Magistrates Court and earlier this month she was given an 18-month community order with 12 months of drug rehabilitation, and ordered to repay £200 in compensation to her victim, as well as an £80 fine.
Following the case Northumbria Police's Neighbourhood Inspector for the area, Mick Robson, said he believed Stainsby had deliberately picked the victim knowing she would be easy prey.
He said: "We have no doubt that she targeted this woman because of her vulnerability and because she thought it was a quick way to get her drug fix.
"This was a very distressing incident for the victim but she has been fantastic with the police and has been incredibly brave."

The ex had told Keith, through solicitors, to stop communicating directly with him, in January this year.
But 11 days later, Keith, who had not spoken to the man’s sister for around three years, sent abusive messages to her on Facebook that left her fearful, Newcastle Crown Court heard.

Another said she had been watching her and threatened to “stab you”, “cut you and your kids” and a third said “cancer leads to death, you’re next”.
Keith, 27, of East View, Wideopen, North Tyneside, pleaded guilty to sending an electronic communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety.
At the time of the offence, Keith was already on a suspended sentence, imposed last May, for criminal damage and using threatening or abusive words and behaviour in relation to offences against her neighbours, and was sentenced in June for making a false 999 call.
For breaching the suspended sentence she was fined £25 and for the Facebook threats she was given a 12-month community order.
Susan Cooper:
Dangerous serial arsonist Cooper has been given a life sentence after setting fire to her living room while her guest was asleep.
The high risk fire-starter caused neighbours to be evacuated after torching her home after a disagreement.
Last year Newcastle Crown Court heard how the 43-year-old, who has previous for arson, handed herself in to police and told them “I’m going to do life for this”.
Judge Tim Gittins said nobody was physically hurt in the latest blaze although Cooper’s house, but that the consequences could have been a lot worse.
He said: “It could so easily have been different."
The court heard Cooper had invited a homeless friend into her bedsit, which was one in a block of six, at Thornhill Gardens, off Tunstall Road, Sunderland, so he could use her facilities and have a proper rest in June.
But, after a disagreement on June 9, she set fire to his sleeping bag while he slept in her bed and then left the property.
Jailing Cooper for life in September 2018, Judge Gittins said Cooper must serve a minimum term of two years but warned she will only be released if and when the parole board consider her to be safe.
Laura Lowes:
Ruthless Lowes pointed a gun at a takeaway driver's face after he was lured into a trap.
The mum, and her male accomplice, ordered food to be delivered to an empty house then lay in wait to hold up the driver when he turned up.
A court heard the man held a knife to the victim's torso while Lowes pointed a handgun at him.
They then robbed the terrified driver of his £200 takings and food from his car during the hold-up robbery in Byker, Newcastle.
However, Lowes had used her mobile phone to place the £44 order and when police contacted the Just East app and they were able to get her number, email and home address.
The 30-year-old, of Eastfield House, Walker, Newcastle, was branded dangerous last month as she was jailed for four years at Newcastle Crown Court after pleading guilty to robbery
Melisa McFarlane
This shameless thief burgled one home and attempted to raid two others just around the corner from her own street.
The 38-year-old tried the doors of a number of homes on Milton Street, South Shields, during a cynical crime spree earlier this year.
After managing to enter one empty house, McFarlane hunted for valuables and pocketed a stash of jewellery and even took a set of spare keys.
Carrying her loot in a number of plastic bags, she then popped into a nearby shop and bought groceries before returning home - just five minutes’ walk away from the home she had raided.
McFarlane refused to cooperate with police when interviewed, but later admitted burglary, two counts of attempted burglary and breach of a suspended sentence with the weight of evidence against her overwhelming.
On October 4, she was jailed for 919 days - more than two-and-a-half years.
Jean Carr:
This crack cocaine-smoking mother pushed past a vulnerable resident at an old folks’ home then stole money from his trouser pocket.
Carr deliberately targeted the elderly man at the care complex while high on drugs, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
Having got into his home at Lincoln Court, in Hebburn, she took £220 from his jeans, which were on the floor.
Prosecutor Emma Dowling told Newcastle Crown Court: “The occupant was present, he was vulnerable and he was targeted.”
The 39-year-old, of Howe Street, Hebburn, who has convictions for 63 previous offences including a previous home raid for which she was jailed, pleaded guilty to burglary and was given a suspended prison sentence, last month
Carr was sentenced to two years imprisonment, suspended for two years, with drug rehabilitation requirements and a six- month curfew from 5pm to 8am.
Kayla Banton:
Banton targeted a woman as she withdrew money at a cash machine.
The 31-year-old, of no fixed abode, tussled with the victim after she took out £200, which she snatched from her grasp.
However, security guards who had been working nearby, in Gateshead, intervened and stopped her.
Banton, who was already on two suspended prison sentences at the time, was found to be in possession of a screwdriver when police searched her.
In September she was jailed for 12 months at Newcastle Crown Court after admitting robbery and having an offensive weapon.
The victim was at an ATM on Coatsworth Road in Gateshead, on April 3 this year when she was targeted.

Jordan Pearce's wounds required eight hours of surgery, and Mark Alder's five cuts needed stitches at hospital after the pair came off worse in a disturbance.
Newcastle Crown Court heard in September how the brawl, on Beach Road in South Shields, broke out last November when Pearce and Alder turned up at a house where Samantha Roberts was staying, armed with baseball bats and started banging on the door.
Prosecutor Richard Herrmann said a fight, involving others who joined in or watched, very quickly erupted and was caught on CCTV.
Roberts, 30, of Sea Road, South Shields, was jailed for 13 months.
Pearce, 26, of Girtin Road, South Shields, who also admitted an unrelated knife possession charge, was locked up for 16 months.
Alder, 29, of Beach Road, South Shields, was jailed for 15 months.
Irene Robinson:
This bingo-playing burglar brazenly fleeced a vulnerable 91-year-old dementia sufferer.
Cruel Robinson, 60, was caught on camera stealing from the frail victim at sheltered accommodation in the West End of Newcastle.
Police had installed covert cameras at the victim’s flat after money began going missing.
She was described in court as “easily confused, forgetful and far too trusting” and relied on carers going in three times a day to help her.
On viewing the footage officers discovered Robinson, who knew the victim from bingo, was the unlikely thief.
Last month Robinson, of Frosterley Place, Arthurs Hill, Newcastle, who had no previous convictions, was given a suspended prison sentence and put on a year-long curfew after she admitted two counts of burglary.
The court heard the victim was living at Iris Steadman House, in Arthur’s Hill, when the offences
The victim’s carer said in a victim impact statement: “She is a very vulnerable person who should not be exploited due to her age and disability and is entitled to care and help.
“No one should be targeted in this way.”
The warden at the sheltered accommodation added: “I can’t believe someone would deliberately target such a vulnerable and lovely elderly lady.
Deborah Reed:
Cruel carer Reed also made a dementia sufferer her prey.
The thief abused the trust of her 88-year-old victim by withdrawing more than £8,400 from her account over 23 occasions.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the 53-year-old told police she had taken the money because she was “hard up”.
The court was told that her formerly “very sociable” victim has been left unable to trust anyone except family members after the betrayal.
Stuart Graham, prosecuting, said at the time of the offences the victim was housebound and looked after by carers at her home.
Reed, who was employed by an agency at the time, would withdraw cash for her as part of her duties.
But the court heard that during her time caring for the woman there were 23 “unaccounted for cash withdrawals for amounts of up to £400”.
Mr Graham said: “The defendant said in interview it was because she was hard up, and spent the money on whatever she wished.
“It was done while the victim was in and out of states of dementia.”
A relative of the victim told the court: “When we discovered the thefts from her bank account she was very emotional and distressed.
“She felt she had been an easy target and was saddened that someone felt they could help themselves to her savings.
“She no longer trusts anyone other than family.”
Reed, of Adderlane Road, Prudhoe, Northumberland, was found guilty of theft
She was sentenced to 24 months in prison, suspended for 24 months, in July.
Caroline Spalding:
Shameful Spalding stole from a vulnerable 98-year-old who was supposed to be her friend.
The 59-year-old was trusted to help the victim, having grown close to her over a period of 15 years, initially while working as her cleaner.
A court heard she would carry out various tasks for the elderly lady, including doing her shopping, and was entrusted with her bank card.
But in a shameful campaign of thefts spanning a year, Spalding helped herself to her savings - prosecutors claimed it was more than £8,000 but she pleaded guilty on the basis it was no more than £2,000.
It was only when post was redirected to the victim’s nephew that Spalding’s criminal behaviour was exposed when he looked at her Post Office account statement and noticed unexplained withdrawals.
Once rumbled, she was apologetic, returned £500 of the stolen cash and said she didn’t want the police involved.
In September Spalding, of Woodford, Allerdene, Gateshead, who pleaded guilty to theft between August last year and August this year, was given a suspended prison sentence and ordered to do unpaid work.
Judge Penny Moreland, at Newcastle Crown Court, told her the only reason she was not being sent immediately to prison was the fact she is the carer for her terminally-ill husband.
Spalding, who has no previous convictions, was sentenced to eight months suspended for 12 months with 100 hours unpaid work and must pay £1,500 compensation at a rate of £100 a month.


Joseph Lease
Editor
Joseph Lease’s critically acclaimed books of poetry include The Body Ghost (Coffee House Press, 2018), Testify (Coffee House Press, 2011), and _Broken World (Coffee House Press, 2007). Lease’s poems “‘Broken World’ (For James Assatly)” and “Send My Roots Rain” were anthologized in Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology. Lease’s poem “‘Broken World’ (For James Assatly)” was anthologized in The Best American Poetry (Robert Creeley, Guest Editor). His poem “Free Again (Why don’t people)” was published in The New York Times.
Marjorie Perloff wrote: “The poems in Joseph Lease’s Broken World are as cool as they are passionate, as soft-spoken as they are indignant, and as fiercely Romantic as they are formally contained . . . Lease has complete command of his poetic materials. His poems are spellbinding in their terse and ironic authority: Yes, the reader feels when s/he has finished, this is how it was—and how it is. An exquisite collection!”
Of The Body Ghost, David Shapiro wrote: “When I was very young, my father a ‘skin doctor’ would show gleaming models of body parts at medical fairs. They frightened my sisters but they were also illuminations of a whole world. Joseph’s poems are like these terrifying wholes/holes. They travel into us. Joseph has been making an American Buddhist poetry, and he is as maximalist as flesh and bone. He gives me the sensation that poetry is in gleaming hands, healing and grasping and letting go. He is the future of poetry.”
Lease’s poetry readings are collected at_ PennSound, The Poetry Center at San Francisco State University, KQED (NPR), The Scottish Poetry Library, and The Poetry Project. Lease has been asked to read at numerous colleges and universities including Stanford University, San Francisco State University, University of Minnesota, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Louisiana State University, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Sonoma State University, Sacramento State University, SUNY-Buffalo, Otis College of Art and Design, Pacific Northwest College of Art, City College (San Francisco), West Virginia University, University of Colorado-Denver, Brown University, and elsewhere.
Lease has received The Academy of American Poets Prize and numerous grants and awards in poetry and poetics from Columbia University, Brown University, Harvard University, and California College of the Arts. Lease is a Professor of Writing and Literature at California College of the Arts and the Editor of 1111.

One held in UP for posting 'objectionable' messages after Ayodhya verdict
According to an FIR, the man had made remarks against a particular community after the verdict
by Press Trust of IndiaA man has been arrested in Muzzaffarnagar for posting "objectionable" messages on the social media after the Supreme Court's Ayodhya judgment, police said on Sunday.
The arrest was made on Saturday evening, Superintendent of Police Vijay Kumar Pandey said.
According to an FIR, the man had made remarks against a particular community after the verdict, the SP said.
On Saturday, the Supreme Court in a historic verdict backed the construction of a Ram temple by a government trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya and ruled that an alternative five-acre plot must be found for a mosque in the Hindu holy town.


‘They are using each other’ – Gary Neville on motives behind Mourinho-Levy link up at Tottenham
by Ron CarneGary Neville has described Jose Mourinho’s relationship with Daniel Levy as a ‘marriage of convenience’ after he took the Tottenham job last week.
Spurs moved swiftly after announcing Mauricio Pochettino’s departure as Mourinho was confirmed as his successor less than 24 hours later.
SEE MORE: ‘It doesn’t make sense’ – Mourinho rules out reunion with former star at Tottenham
Out of work since leaving Manchester United last December, Mourinho now has another opportunity to coach in the Premier League while Tottenham will hope to kick on and start winning trophies having fallen short on so many occasions over the years.
Time will tell whether or not the link up works out as desired for all parties concerned, but Neville is convinced that there are alternative motives behind the decision from both sides.
For Mourinho, the Sky Sports pundit believes that the Portuguese tactician is looking to re-set and re-establish himself after his spell at Man Utd, and an opportunity to stay in London and deliver on Tottenham’s objectives could ultimately help him land a job with one of Europe’s elite moving forward.
On the other side with Levy, he believes that the Spurs chief has gone with Mourinho as the safest bet to get them back into the Champions League next season to continue to bring in the crucial financial boost that comes with it after their new stadium was built and their wage bill continues to increase.
It’s easy to see where Neville is coming from and it has to be said that there is a lot of sense behind those touted reasons for both sides to reach an agreement. Time will tell if they both hold up their ends of the bargain though if that’s the case and just how long they will stick with each other.
Things started well for Mourinho this past weekend, as he saw his side secure a 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday as they moved up to 10th spot in the Premier League table. Whether that was just an immediate boost after a managerial change or a sign of things to come remains to be seen.


The early game is arguably the toughest, particularly for Witcher series newbies. Taking things slowly is highly recommended as you get a feel for the game mechanics.
Key things to actively engage in:
- LOOT: Loot everything and anything. Everything has a use, and hoarding will allow for a strong mid-late game playstyle.
- EXPLORE: Connected with the above, without exploring thoroughly, you will not find helpful gear for the later game.
- QUEST: Complete every quest you receive! The more quests you do = the more loot found, more gold, and most importantly....Experience to level up your Geralt.

Chapter 4 GitHub
4.1 Overview
We will learn about version control using git and GitHub, and we will interface with this through RStudio. Why use version control? To save time when working with your most important collaborator: you.
git will track and version your files, GitHub stores this online and enables you to collaborate with others (and yourself). Although git and GitHub are two different things, distinct from each other, I think of them as a bundle since I always use them together. It also helped me to think of GitHub like Dropbox: you make folders that are ‘tracked’ and can be synced to the cloud. GitHub does this too, but you have to be more deliberate about when syncs are made. This is because GitHub saves these as different versions, with information about who contributed when, line-by-line. This makes collaboration easier, and it allows you to roll-back to different versions or contribute to others’ work.
4.1.1 Objectives
Today, we’ll interface with GitHub from our local computers using RStudio. There are many other ways to interact with GitHub, including GitHub’s Desktop App or the command line (here is Jenny Bryan’s list of git clients), but today we are going to work from RStudio. You have the largest suite of options if you interface through the command line, but the most common things you’ll do can be done through one of these other applications (i.e. RStudio and the GitHub Desktop App).
Here’s what we’ll do (we already set up git on our local computer in the previous section):
- create a repository on Github.com
- clone locally using RStudio
- learn the RStudio-GitHub workflow by syncing to Github.com: pull, stage, commit, push
- explore github.com: files, commit history, file history
- practice the RStudio-GitHub workflow by editing and adding files
- practice R Markdown
4.1.2 Resources
These materials borrow from:
- Jenny Bryan’s lectures from STAT545 at UBC: The Shell
- Jenny Bryan’s Happy git with R tutorial
- Melanie Frazier’s GitHub Quickstart
- Ben Best’s Software Carpentry at UCSB
Today, we’ll only introduce the features and terminology that scientists need to learn to begin managing their projects.
4.2 Why should scientists use Github?
- Ends (or, nearly ends) the horror of keeping track of versions. Basically, we get away from this:
When you open your repository, you only see the most recent version. But, it easy to compare versions, and you can easily revert to previous versions.
- Improves collaborative efforts. Different researchers can work on the same files at the same time!
- It is easy to share and distribute files through the Github website.
- Your files are available anywhere, you just need internet connection!
4.2.1 What are Git and Github?
Git is a version control system that lets you track changes to files over time. These files can be any kind of file (eg .doc, .pdf, .xls), but free text differences are most easily visible (eg txt, csv, md).
Github is a website for storing your git versioned files remotely. It has many nice features to be able visualize differences between images, rendering & diffing map data files, render text data files, and track changes in text.
If you are a student you can get the micro account which includes 5 private repositories for free (normally a $7/month value). You can sign up for the student account here. Instructors can also request a free organization account, “Request a discount”.
Github was developed for social coding (i.e., sort of like an open source Wikipedia for programmers). Consequently, much of the functionality and terminology of Github (e.g., branches and pull requests) isn’t necessary for a scientist getting started.
These concepts are more important for coders who want the entire coding community (and not just people working on the same project) to be able to suggest changes to their code. This isn’t how most scientists will use Github.
To get the full functionality of Github, you will eventually want to learn other concepts. But, this can wait.
4.2.2 Some Github terminology
- User: A Github account for you (e.g., jules32).
- Organization: The Github account for one or more user (e.g., datacarpentry).
- Repository: A folder within the organization that includes files dedicated to a project.
- Local Github: Copies of Github files located your computer.
- Remote Github: Github files located on the https://github.com website.
- Clone: Process of making a local copy of a remote Github repository. This only needs to be done once (unless you mess up your local copy).
- Pull: Copy changes on the remote Github repository to your local Github repository. This is useful if multiple people are making changes to a repository.
- Push: Save local changes to remote Github
4.3 Setup Git & GitHub
We’re going to switch gears from R for a moment and set up Git and GitHub, which we will be using along with R and RStudio for the rest of the workshop. This set up is a one-time thing! You will only have to do this once per computer. We’ll walk through this together.
Create Github account at http://github.com, if you don’t already have one. For username, I recommend all lower-case letters, short as you can. I recommend using your .edu email, since you can request free private repositories via GitHub Education discount.
Configure git with global commands, which means it will apply ‘globally’ to all files on your computer, rather than to a specific folder. Open the Git Bash program (Windows) or the Terminal (Mac) and type the following:
# display your version of git git --version # replace USER with your Github user account git config –-global user.name USER # replace<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the email you used to register with Github git config –-global user.email<EMAIL_ADDRESS># list your config to confirm user.* variables set git config --list
Not only have you just set up git as a one-time-only thing, you have just used the command line. We don’t have time to learn much of the command line today, but you just successfully used it following explicit instructions, which is huge! There are great resources for learning the command line, check out this tutorial from SWC at UCSB.
4.4 Create a repository on Github.com
First, go to your account on github.com and click “New repository”.
Choose a name.Call it whatever you want (the shorter the better), or follow me for convenience. I will call mine my-repo
.
Also, add a description, make it public, create a README file, and create your repo!
The Add gitignore option adds a document where you can identify files or file-types you want Github to ignore. These files will stay in on the local Github folder (the one on your computer), but will not be uploaded onto the web version of Github.
The Add a license option adds a license that describes how other people can use your Github files (e.g., open source, but no one can profit from them, etc.). We won’t worry about this today.
Check out our new repository!
Notice how the README.md file we created is automatically displayed at the bottom.
From here, you will work locally (on your computer).
4.5 Clone your repository using RStudio
We’ll start of by cloning to our local computer using RStudio. We are going to be cloning a copy of our Remote repository on Github.com to our local computers. Unlike downloading, cloning keeps all the version control and user information bundled with the files.
Step 0: Create your github
folder
This is really important! We need to be organized and deliberate about where we want to keep all of our GitHub repositories (since this is the first of many in your career).
Let’s all make a folder called github
(all lowercase!) in our home directories. So it will look like this:
- Windows:
Users\[User]\Documents\github\
- Mac:
Users/[User]/github/
This will let us take advantage of something that is really key about GitHub.com: you can easily navigate through folders within repositories and the urls reflect this navigation. The greatness of this will be evident soon. So let’s set ourselves up for easily translating (and remembering) those navigation paths by having a folder called github
that will serve as our ‘github.com’.
So really. Make sure that you have an all-lowercase folder called github
in your home directory!!
Step 1: Copy the web address of the repository you want to clone.
Step 2: from RStudio, go to New Project (also in the File menu).
Step 3: Select Version Control
Step 4: Select Git
Step 5: Paste it in the Repository URL field, and type tab to autofill the Project Directory name. Make sure you keep the Project Directory Name THE SAME as the repository name from the URL.
Save it in your github folder (click on Browse) to do this.
If everything went well, the repository will be added to the list located here:
And the repository will be saved to the Github folder on your computer:
Ta da!!!! The folder doesn’t contain much of interest, but we are going to change that.
4.6 Inspect your repository
Notice a few things in our repo here:
- Our working directory is set to
~/github/my-repo
. This means that I can start working with the files I have in here without setting the filepath. This is that when we cloned this from RStudio, it created an RStudio project, which you can tell because:.RProj
file, which you can see in the Files pane.- The project is named in the top right hand corner
- We have a git tab! This is how we will interface directly to Github.com
4.7 Add files to our local repo
The repository will contain:
- .gitignore file
- README.md
- Rproj
And, I typically create the following:
- folders for “data” and “figures”
- R scripts
- etc.
I’m going to copy-paste a small from my desktop into the folder.
To make changes to the repository, you will work from your computer (“local Github”).
When files are changed in the local repository, these changes will be reflected in the Git tab of RStudio:
4.7.1 Inspect what has changed
These are the codes RStudio uses to describe how the files are changed, (from the RStudio cheatsheet):
4.8 Sync from RStudio to GitHub
When you are ready to commit your changes, you follow these steps:
We walk through this process below:
4.8.1 Pull
From the Git tab, “Pull” the repository. This makes sure your local repository is synced with the remote repository. This is very important if other people are making changes to the repository or if you are working from multiple computers.
4.8.2 Stage
Stage the files you want to commit.
This time let’s edit an existing file instead of adding something new. Open your README file by clicking on it in the Files pane (lower right corner). Write a few lines of text, save, and see what happens in your Git Tab. Sync it to your remote repository (Github.com).
Also, go to your Finder/Windows Explorer, and copy-paste something into your local GitHub repo. Then go back to RStudio and confirm that git tracked it. Remember, git will track anything within that folder (the way Dropbox does), it’s not specific to RStudio!
4.10 Create a new R Markdown file
OK, now, let’s go back to RStudio, and get ourselves back into learning R. We are going to use R Markdown so that you can write notes to yourself in Markdown, and have a record of all your R code. Writing R commands in the console like we did this morning is great, but limited; it’s hard to keep track of and hard to efficiently share with others. Plus, as your analyses get more complicated, you need to be able to see them all in one place.
Go to File > New File > R Markdown … (or click the green plus in the top left corner).
Let’s set up this file so we can use it for the rest of the day. I’m going to delete all the text that is already there and write some new text.
Here’s what I’m going to write in my R Markdown file to begin:
---
title: "My Project"
author: "Julie"
date: "11/21/2017"
output: html_document
---
# Data wrangling with dplyr
We are going use "gapminder" data to learn `dplyr`. It's going to be amazing.
Now, let’s save it. I’m going to call my file wrangle-dplyr.Rmd
.
OK. Now let’s practice with some of those commands that we were working on this morning.
Create a new chunk in your RMarkdown first in one of these ways:
- click “Insert > R” at the top of the editor pane
- type by hand ```{r} ```
- if you haven’t deleted a chunk that came with the new file, edit that one
Now, let’s write some R code.
x <- seq(1:15)
Now, hitting return does not execute this command; remember, it’s just a text file. To execute it, we need to get what we typed in the the R chunk (the grey R code) down into the console. How do we do it? There are several ways (let’s do each of them):
- copy-paste this line into the console.
- select the line (or simply put the cursor there), and click ‘Run’. This is available from
- the bar above the file (green arrow)
- the menu bar: Code > Run Selected Line(s)
- keyboard shortcut: command-return
- click the green arrow at the right of the code chunk
4.10.1 Your turn
Add a few more commands to your file from this morning. Execute them by trying the three ways above.
Then, sync your file to GitHub.
4.11 Committing - how often? Tracking changes in your files
Whenever you make changes to the files in Github, you will walk through the Pull -> Stage -> Commit -> Push steps.
I tend to do this every time I finish a task (basically when I start getting nervous that I will lose my work). Once something is committed, it is very difficult to lose it.
One thing that I love about about Github is that it is easy to see how files have changed over time. Usually I compare commits through github.com:
You can click on the commits to see how the files changed from the previous commit:

Enterprises are exposed to a wide range of risks. Bank4Us, for instance, has subdivided the whole range of risks it can fall victim to into several categories, as shown in Figure 3-18.
The palette of threats ranges from strategic risks (for example, outsourcing a business unit that turns out to be a competitive differentiator) over environmental risks (political changes or natural disasters) to regulatory risks—the peril of accidentally violating laws or regulations.
Since IT is involved in almost all enterprise activities, it also has its share in all risk categories. On one hand, existing risk scenarios affect IT. A fire, for example, might destroy not only office documents and furniture but also a mail server handling the messages of a wider region. On the other hand, IT also adds new risk scenarios, such as the threat of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack on an online brokerage portal.
Nevertheless, IT risks must not be considered as a new, separate risk category. “IT risk is business risk” write the authors of the ISACA 30 Risk IT – framework for risk management (2009). The bad thing about the denial of service attack obviously is not that some web server goes down, but the financial loss and the damage of reputation caused by the outage of the trading site.
Yet from a chief IT mechanics perspective, damages of the IT landscape sometimes look different from the business point of view. What appears as an IT catastrophe—for instance, the irreparable crash of a complete server cluster—sometimes has only a negligible impact on the business figures. Unfortunately this statement also applies in the other direction: Tiny IT bugs can trap the regulatory reporting of a financial institute and cause a penalty in the double-digit million-dollar range. One of the major principles of Risk IT is, therefore, to bind IT risks to business objectives and to evaluate risks in business currency, not in IT currency.
Enterprise architecture is a key to a business-oriented management of IT risks that adheres to this principle. A well-maintained EA model captures the linkage between business and IT and hence facilitates the tracking of IT effects on the business. Figure 3-19 provides an example of how an EA model helps bind IT risks to business objectives.
Bank4Us offers a product called raw material trading access. Customers who subscribe to this offering can trade raw materials such as coal, silver, or cotton with the help of an agent in the local branch office. The local agent places orders to the NYMEX 31 trading place by using the branch office trading portal application.
The outage of the order placement process initiated by this portal has a clear price tag assigned to it: Given the average daily trading volume, an outage of one hour causes a loss of US$160,000, not counting compensations for lost trading opportunities and the somewhat intangible loss of trust and reputation.
Given these considerable costs, the risk managers at Bank4Us are interested in tracking down what failures in IT can actually cause such an outage. The ArchiMate EA model shown in Figure 3-19 helps solve this puzzle. By following the dependencies, the risk hunters find that the availability of the order process depends, for example, on the functioning of the CICS External Call Interface (ECI) hosted on a particular mainframe computer.
Although this is a simplified example, it makes clear the key role of EA in risk management. It bridges the layers and provides the knowledge base for a business-oriented impact assessment. Typical questions EA helps answer are:
Enterprise architects are not accountable for IT risk management. This usually is in the hands of the CIO or some senior management board. Yet, according to C OBI T, they are at least partly responsible for identifying risk scenarios, assessing their impact, and defining suitable risk responses (ISACA, 2007, p.65).
While participating in activity EA-1, Defining the IT Strategy, enterprise architects also are at least informed about the risk management policy. This policy sets out how big the risk appetite and tolerance of the enterprise is. Is it a risk-averse, conservative firm investing heavily in avoiding bad surprises and mitigating their impact? Or is it an opportunity-seeking organization with a relaxed attitude toward losses and deviations?
Since the protection against risk doesn’t come free, this question needs a well-considered answer. The policy also defines the responsibilities and communication channels with regard to managing risks and thereby forms what the risk IT framework calls risk governance (ISACA, 2009). According to ISACA, IT risks can occur in three subdomains (ISACA, 2009, p. 11):
EA has its share in all subdomains. With its focus on business-IT alignment, EA can be regarded as a general antidote against benefit/value enablement risks. Enterprise architects are also consulted in managing the risks of IT projects. In some cases, they even take the driver’s seat in such initiatives, as described in the section “Monitoring the Project Portfolio (EA-6).” Finally, they are at least partly in charge of identifying risks hidden in the current IT landscape—as outlined in the examples—and to accommodate suitable risk responses in the future target landscape.
There are four general types of possible risk responses:
The mindset of an IT mechanic sometimes is inclined to the reduction and mitigation of risks and neglects the other risk responses as viable alternatives.
When dealing with risks, one needs to clearly differentiate between risks and uncertainty. The Factor Analysis for Information Risk (FAIR) framework gives the following formal definition of a risk (Jones, 2005):
[Risk is] the probable frequency and magnitude of a future loss.
According to FAIR’s taxonomy, a risk basically consists of two constituents, namely:
According to this definition, a risk is always bound to a well-defined event and has known consequences. The probabilities in LEF and PLM can have a wide or narrow confidence interval, but otherwise they are well-known factors of the risk estimation.
Risk responses therefore can be planned. Uncertainty prevails, on the other hand, in case there is an overall lack of knowledge about the constituents or factors involved in a situation. There is no use in planning responses, because it is widely unclear what to respond to. The only reasonable plan of action is to approach the land of the unknown in an iterative trial-and-error approach. Many of the so-called “risks” in IT actually are uncertainties, and the approaches to tackle them are different from those in risk management. Agile software development, for instance, is an example of such an approach.

4-Fluoromethcathinone |
(powder / crystals) |
Methedrone is soon to be scheduled as a class A drug. A successor, Flephedrone, aka 4-FMC or simply 'Flephe' amongst users, was introduced here last week, though it has been available elsewhere internationally. As of yet uncertain if it will catch on. I've read some mixed reviews so far. Bioavailability is said to be poor, it crosses the blood-brain barrier only with difficulty. Quite a few people have tried it already and there are one or two dozen posts on [forum] concerning its effects. Most reports I've read are sketchy and often contradict each other, so it seems that effects vary considerably between users.
Effects
One person, 30yo male, reports what sounds like very intense vasoconstriction after oral ingestion of 400mg (approximate, several doses spread out over 1.5 hours). The subject belives that 4-FMC has too many side effects while the sought-after effects are not prominent enough to make it worth while using. He reports pain and feelings of
numbness in all extremities, intense tingling sensations and extreme sensitivity to touch, where even slight contact causes intense pain. Dizzyness, even feeling faintish periodically. Hand & feet freezing cold. Intermittent attacks of nausia. Unusually intense bodily (muscular) stiffness. Headache. Though the user claims to be generally
sensitive to stimulants and ill effects thereof, he still points out that the side effects experienced with 4-FMC where more intense than usual. Claims to have a good amount of experience with other stimulants, legal and illegal alike.
Many others who tried 4-FMC share this negative view of it, though their experiences aren't as uniformely bad. However, it's hard to discern any sort of majority opinion, (positive/negative). Others users report positive experiences; euphoria and empathogenic effects similar to MDMA, as well as traditional stimulant effects.
Regardless of what view users have of this drug, negative or positive, most of them seem to agree that the effects are more long lasting than Mephedrone. (up to 5 hours compared to 2 hours for Mephe).
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.

Grand Mal Seizure... Not Fun
This incident took place last Thursday night. It was one of those events that removes the divide between your secretive hidden life from the life you portray to others. Like two worlds colliding in an instant, and after its over you better hope you have a good character to fall back on after you lose your blanket of lies. Anyways, this was one of those.
I have recently obtained a prescription for Wellbutrin SR 100 mg tabs for a major depressive disorder that ive struggled with for who cares how long. I discontinued Prozac for no good reason, it worked fine but I heard Bupropion could give you a buzz being a dopamine and norephinephrine (is that right?) re-uptake inhibitor. These are pleasure neurotransmitters! Yay.
I take Adderall XR in addition for “ADD”, but mainly cause it can “fuck you up”. But that’s a different story.
This is what happened. On Thursday morning we had a snow day. When I have nothing to do I get into trouble, its just how I am. I spent the morning at my neighbors snorting Cocaine and feeling cool.
That night I was in my room and had no high whatsoever, and so reality had sunk in and due to my major lack of coping skills, I had to get high again… Any kind of high. All I had was Wellbutrin, I popped 5 or 6 100 mg tabs and waited for about half an hour, felt nothing.
I awake roughly 10 minutes later in the kitchen sitting in a chair. Someone has their hand in my shirt and I assume it’s a weird dream. It becomes apparent there are two EMTs crouched next to me putting electro things on my chest and about 7 firefighters surrounding them. I don’t know what to think, I was very, very frightened and very, very disoriented. I remember yelling “whats going on?!” incoherently and my mom telling me I had a seizure and explaining to the paramedics what had happened. It was very bizarre, and strangely horrifying. It was the lapse in time that I found particularly disturbing.
I was escorted to the ambulance and was hysterical at the idea of being taken away. The ambulance seems to scare me more than being put in a police car, but yeah I was freakin out. I was hooked up to the monitor and all that and away we went!! En route to Legacy Emmanuel hospital. My heart rate was rough 180 bpm, pretty damn high.  I was asked all sorts of questions about my meds, I explained that I abused all of em yada yada. It was no fun. At the hospital I was wheeled in on the bed, and felt like a lazy bum and insisted on walking but they weren’t having it.
 I explained my long hidden Adderall addiction to some relief, my mom being cool about it. They took some blood, gave me a CAT scan and some funny looks, but no lollipop, which really pissed me off.
The blood showed traces of cocaine. Busted. Now all my meds are regulated and my relationships with my parents is very strained but getting better.
I was unconscious during the seizure, but being told what it was like was heartbreaking coming from my little brother. He wrote me a long letter begging me to get off drugs because he loves me and it just tore my fuckin heart out. Its been a miserable week.
 Of course neither should any pharmaceuticals. Grand mal seizures are very, very scary. It is now a haunting experience, and a valuable lesson. Peace.

Shiv Sena cuts ties with BJP at Centre, Arvind Sawant quits as Union Minister amidst new political alignment in Maharashtra
by JKR StaffShiv Sena on Monday officially severed its ties with the BJP at the Centre after Arvind Sawant quit as a union minister from the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This has given rise to speculations that a new political alignment in Maharashtra was imminent with Uddhav Thackeray becoming the new chief minister in the state.
Sawant took to Twitter to announce his resignation from the central government.
Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Sunday asked the Shiv Sena, the second single largest party in the just-concluded assembly elections to indicate the willingness and ability of his party to form the government in Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray is likely to be the new chief minister with the outside support from the NCP and the Congress.
On Saturday, Maharashtra’s acting chief minister Devendra Fadnavis stepped down from his post citing his party’s inability to form the government.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut, who’s been very vocal with his criticism for the BJP since the assembly results were out, has put out a cryptic tweet.
The Shiv Sena and BJP alliance had won 161 out of 288 seats in the recent assembly polls. The BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena-56, NCP-54 and the Congress 44 seats.


Can the US carriers solve Android messaging? We're answering your questions
Source: Android Central
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to what RCS can bring to Android messaging and it can get confusing. Don't worry, though, we have you covered.
In short, RCS provides the text messaging framework for the features that people have come to expect from mobile messaging apps like iMessage, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and so many others. Recently, The big four U.S. carriers announced a joint venture to bring these features to Android with CCMI or the Cross Carrier Messaging Initiative.
Features like read receipts and larger attachments are some of the biggest improvements over traditional SMS and MMS messaging. There are still a ton of questions about how this will work and we've compiled a list of some of the big ones to clear up the confusion.
Dive deeper: What is RCS messaging, and why is it important to Android?
- What is the CCMI and how does it relate to RCS?
- Who manages CCMI?
- Is RCS safe? Is it encrypted?
- Why are the carriers doing this rather than working with Google?
- Will you need to download a separate app for it to work?
- Will it work with existing RCS users on Android?
- Will it cost me extra money?
- Will it only work on Android, or will iPhone users have access?
- When will it be available?
- Which carriers have signed on?
- What happens if I have an unlocked phone or a phone from a carrier that doesn't support it?
What is the CCMI and how does it relate to RCS?
Rich Communication Service, or RCS, is the basis for the Cross Carrier Messaging Initiative, or CCMI. CCMI is RCS, but it is controlled and implemented by carriers and should enable cross compatibility on all major U.S. carriers on any capable Android phone.
According to the press release, the carriers are using the implementation of RCS called Universal Profile which, as the name suggests, allows any carrier or software provider that opts in (like Google) the ability to talk to any other phone also using Universal Profile.
Who manages CCMI?
CCMI is a joint venture between AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon and will be directly managed by these carriers rather than by a company like Google.
Is RCS safe? Is it encrypted?
RCS is the evolution of text messaging, which means that while it appears similar in your phone's default SMS app, it runs over IP services and is fundamentally similar to services like Facebook Messenger, Google Hangouts, and others.
But unlike more secure messaging services like iMessage or WhatsApp, RCS messages are not end-to-end encrypted, which means that while they're encrypted in transit and are unlikely to be intercepted, they are not protected from decryption by the provider of RCS. With CCMI, that means your carrier, and not a company like Google. Either way, messages are available to be turned over to law enforcement is compelled, which is considerably more problematic than end-to-end encrypted services like iMessage.
That's not to say you shouldn't trust RCS or shouldn't use whatever service CCMI comes up with. Just understand that it does not have the same security standards as many other popular messaging services.

Why are the carriers doing this rather than working with Google?
Earlier this year, Google announced that it was taking RCS's rollout into its own hands, launching the service on all Android phones that use Google's own Messages app in France and the UK. It said it planned to roll its version of RCS, which is based on Universal Profile (and technically compatible with all Android phones on all supported carriers), later this year to other countries.
But then CCMI happened. The carriers likely decided that it wasn't in their best interest to cede control of RCS to Google entirely, so instead they worked together to build a proprietary RCS solution, using a standalone app, on top of Universal Profile.
This way, the carriers control the user experience (and get to box out Google in the process), potentially creating another revenue stream through business messages (allowing you to interface with customer service reps or order food over text) and premium features, most of which are not offered directly from Google.
Will you need to download a separate app for it to work?
CCMI is creating an app, according to The Verge, that will replace the default messaging app on smartphones sold by the carriers.
It's unclear, though, how that will work. Some carriers, like Verizon, pre-install a custom messaging app on their phones that send both standard texts and more feature-rich media messages based on other proprietary forms of RCS. Other carriers cede control of the text messaging experience to the manufacturers, like Samsung, which have their own messaging experiences. In those cases, the app that CCMI builds could ship instead of the manufacturer's text messaging app or alongside it, offering an alternative when you first set up the phone.
Will it work with existing RCS users on Android?
Yes. Because CCMI's solution will be based on the RCS Universal Profile, the companies promise that their version will work with others. The press release says that the app will "create a single seamless, interoperable RCS experience across carriers, both in the U.S. and globally," which leads us to believe that it should just work.
Will it cost me extra money?
It shouldn't. The idea here is that RCS builds on top of SMS, but because it's IP-based, it just uses data — megabytes — and shouldn't require an additional fee the way legacy carrier plans forced customers to pay for text messages (though practically all modern data plans include free unlimited SMS).
Will it only work on Android, or will iPhone users have access?
Currently only Android compatibility is confirmed. While it would indeed be nice to see the gap between green and blue text bubbles narrow, Apple has yet to announce support for RCS, and it's unlikely this move will change Apple's mind. While it's not impossible Apple will one day support RCS, the company has iMessage, which has achieved network effect and is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
When will it be available?
All signs are pointing towards a somewhat vague 2020 release window. A lot needs to be updated and implemented on the backend to make sure the service is compatible across all Android devices so it's no surprise that carriers are approaching their take on RCS conservatively.
Source: Android Central
Which carriers have signed on?
In a joint announcement AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon have all committed to supporting CCMI. This really is fabulous news and should allow for people to have a consistent experience no matter which carrier they choose.
What happens if I have an unlocked phone or a phone from a carrier that doesn't support it?
As The Verge discovered, CCMI intends to develop and release its own messaging app that should be downloadable on Android phones regardless of where it came from. This app should also be compatible with other implementations of RCS allowing for compatibility with other carriers that don't perfectly align with CCMI.

For more than a decade, we’ve been at the forefront of the standing desk movement. We have been manufacturing products with the best in locally and globally sourced components here in Austin, Texas, since 2002.
We design all of our products so you can customize and build your dream office at an affordable price. Our aluminum and steel frames, reclaimed solid wood desktops, monitor arms, stools, task lights, and other products are optimized to work well together. It's time to UPLIFT your work day.
Your desk is where you work and create, so it’s important that it’s built to your specification. That’s why we offer a wide range of desktop materials, useful accessories and expert advice. But when off-the-shelf options aren’t enough, we’ll happily work with you to make the height adjustable desk you need. Choose from 100 percent recycled wood desktops in our Eco line. Or, consider a GREENGUARD-certified laminate desktop, which provides excellent value while being indoor-air friendly and environmentally sound.
Transform your existing workstation, or even your entire office, with our family of Standing Desk Converters from UPLIFT Desk. Simple and easy pneumatic adjustments bring your monitor and keyboard to your preferred sitting and standing positions seamlessly, and without the need for an outlet. They're perfect for use with fixed-height desks and cubicle workstations that could use personalized height adjustments without building from scratch.
Once you've customized your perfect sit stand desk, take it to the next level with innovative accessories. Our ergonomist designs all accessories to enhance the functionality, quality, and value of your desk. We have in-desk power grommets with convenient electric outlets, single and dual monitor arms with fingertip adjustability, task lights with personalized lighting levels, cable management kits with all the wire organizers you could want, and much more.
Have a desktop you just can’t bear to lose? Or do you prefer to make your own top? We’ve got you covered. The UPLIFT height adjustable desk frame is compatible with any desk at least one inch thick. Our frames lift 355 pounds to start and the telescoping crossbar accommodates desktops up to 90 inches wide and 30 inches deep, so if you can build it, we can handle it.
With frames available in 2-leg, 3-leg, and 4-leg configurations, we work with almost any size and shape desktop. And if you don’t see what you're looking for, just ask our experts and we'll find a solution.
Our advanced digital memory keypad stores up to four heights, allowing you to switch between sitting and standing with a quick touch of a button. Your exact desk height is shown on a display that automatically goes dark to reduce power draw while the desk is stationary. This advanced keypad is an upgrade to the standard two-button up/down keypad.
Standing all day puts stress on your body just as sitting all day does. We recommend you start your day standing, sit when your feet get tired, and limit sitting to 30 minute sessions. Most studies are now recommending 2-4 hours of standing per 8 hour day. As a bonus, you burn about 50 extra calories per hour when you're standing versus sitting. We offer a full line of ergonomic chairs and stools to help you take a load off throughout the day. And remember, with height adjustability, you'll finally get to work at perfect sitting and standing heights without compromise.
We responsibly source eco-friendly materials. We feature 100% recycled wood desktops, bamboo desktops, reclaimed wood desktops, and GREENGUARD-certified laminate desktops. Each one of our desktops is finished in either a GREENGUARD-certified technique or in another non-volatile, indoor air-safe method. Our monitor arm beams and desk frame feet are made of 100% aluminum for optimal stiffness and the ability to be recycled.
Everything ships free to any address in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Rest assured that the price we list on stand-up desks and accessories is the price you'll pay. For your convenience, we also offer delivery upgrades such as room of choice desk installation. Each order is checked for quality, packed with care and shipped from our Austin warehouse.
We understand that your purchase means that you’ll be enjoying your UPLIFT Desk for many hours per week. You’re going to make us a large part of your work life and we'd like to return the favor. That's why our desks come with a free, industry-leading, 7-year warranty and around-the-clock support.

# Handlebars Compiler APIs
There are a number of formal APIs that tool implementors may interact with.
## AST
Other tools may interact with the formal AST as defined below. Any JSON structure matching this pattern may be used and passed into the compile and precompile methods in the same way as the text for a template.
AST structures may be generated either with the Handlebars.parse method and then manipulated, via the Handlebars.AST objects of the same name, or constructed manually as a generic JavaScript object matching the structure defined below.
```javascript var ast = Handlebars.parse(myTemplate);
// Modify ast
Handlebars.precompile(ast); ```
### Basic
type: string; loc: SourceLocation | null;
}
- interface SourceLocation {
- source: string | null; start: Position; end: Position;
}
- interface Position {
- line: uint >= 1; column: uint >= 0;
}¶
### Programs
```java interface Program <: Node {
type: “Program”; body: [ Statement ];
blockParams: [ string ];
}¶
### Statements
```java interface Statement <: Node { }
- interface MustacheStatement <: Statement {
type: “MustacheStatement”;
path: PathExpression | Literal; params: [ Expression ]; hash: Hash;
escaped: boolean; strip: StripFlags | null;
}
- interface BlockStatement <: Statement {
type: “BlockStatement”; path: PathExpression; params: [ Expression ]; hash: Hash;
program: Program | null; inverse: Program | null;
openStrip: StripFlags | null; inverseStrip: StripFlags | null; closeStrip: StripFlags | null;
}
- interface PartialStatement <: Statement {
type: “PartialStatement”; name: PathExpression | SubExpression; params: [ Expression ]; hash: Hash;
indent: string; strip: StripFlags | null;
}¶
name will be a SubExpression when tied to a dynamic partial, i.e. {{> (foo) }}, otherwise this is a path or literal whose original value is used to lookup the desired partial.
```java interface ContentStatement <: Statement {
type: “ContentStatement”; value: string; original: string;
}
- interface CommentStatement <: Statement {
type: “CommentStatement”; value: string;
strip: StripFlags | null;
}¶
### Expressions
`java
interface Expression <: Node { }
`
##### SubExpressions
```java interface SubExpression <: Expression {
type: “SubExpression”; path: PathExpression; params: [ Expression ]; hash: Hash;
}¶
##### Paths
```java interface PathExpression <: Expression {
type: “PathExpression”; data: boolean; depth: uint >= 0; parts: [ string ]; original: string;
}¶
- data is true when the given expression is a @data reference.
- depth is an integer representation of which context the expression references. 0 represents the current context, 1 would be ../, etc.
- parts is an array of the names in the path. foo.bar would be [‘foo’, ‘bar’]. Scope references, ., .., and this should be omitted from this array.
- original is the path as entered by the user. Separator and scope references are left untouched.
##### Literals
```java interface Literal <: Expression { }
- interface StringLiteral <: Literal {
- type: “StringLiteral”; value: string; original: string;
}
- interface BooleanLiteral <: Literal {
- type: “BooleanLiteral”; value: boolean; original: boolean;
}
- interface NumberLiteral <: Literal {
- type: “NumberLiteral”; value: number; original: number;
}¶
### Miscellaneous
```java interface Hash <: Node {
type: “Hash”; pairs: [ HashPair ];
}
- interface HashPair <: Node {
- type: “HashPair”; key: string; value: Expression;
}
- interface StripFlags {
- open: boolean; close: boolean;
}¶
StripFlags are used to signify whitespace control character that may have been entered on a given statement.
## AST Visitor
Handlebars.Visitor is available as a base class for general interaction with AST structures. This will by default traverse the entire tree and individual methods may be overridden to provide specific responses to particular nodes.
Recording all referenced partial names:
```javascript var Visitor = Handlebars.Visitor;
- function ImportScanner() {
- this.partials = [];
} ImportScanner.prototype = new Visitor();
- ImportScanner.prototype.PartialStatement = function(partial) {
this.partials.push({request: partial.name.original});
Visitor.prototype.PartialStatement.call(this, partial);
};
var scanner = new ImportScanner(); scanner.accept(ast); ```
The current node’s ancestors will be maintained in the parents array, with the most recent parent listed first.
The visitor may also be configured to operate in mutation mode by setting the mutation field to true. When in this mode, handler methods may return any valid AST node and it will replace the one they are currently operating on. Returning false will remove the given value (if valid) and returning undefined will leave the node in tact. This return structure only apply to mutation mode and non-mutation mode visitors are free to return whatever values they wish.
Implementors that may need to support mutation mode are encouraged to utilize the acceptKey, acceptRequired and acceptArray helpers which provide the conditional overwrite behavior as well as implement sanity checks where pertinent.
## JavaScript Compiler
The Handlebars.JavaScriptCompiler object has a number of methods that may be customized to alter the output of the compiler:
nameLookup(parent, name, type) Used to generate the code to resolve a give path component.
- parent is the existing code in the path resolution
- name is the current path component
- type is the type of name being evaluated. May be one of context, data, helper, or partial.
Note that this does not impact dynamic partials, which implementors need to be aware of. Overriding VM.resolvePartial may be required to support dynamic cases.
depthedLookup(name) Used to generate code that resolves parameters within any context in the stack. Is only used in compat mode.
compilerInfo() Allows for custom compiler flags used in the runtime version checking logic.
- appendToBuffer(source, location, explicit)
Allows for code buffer emitting code. Defaults behavior is string concatenation.
- source is the source code whose result is to be appending
- location is the location of the source in the source map.
- explicit is a flag signaling that the emit operation must occur, vs. the lazy evaled options otherwise.
- initializeBuffer()
Allows for buffers other than the default string buffer to be used. Generally needs to be paired with a custom appendToBuffer implementation.
```javascript function MyCompiler() {
Handlebars.JavaScriptCompiler.apply(this, arguments);
} MyCompiler.prototype = Object.create(Handlebars.JavaScriptCompiler);
- MyCompiler.nameLookup = function(parent, name, type) {
- if (type === ‘partial’) {
- return ‘MyPartialList[‘ + JSON.stringify(name) ‘]’;
- } else {
- return Handlebars.JavaScriptCompiler.prototype.nameLookup.call(this, parent, name, type);
}
};
var env = Handlebars.create(); env.JavaScriptCompiler = MyCompiler; env.compile(‘my template’); ```

Joining in with Ginny at Small Things yarn along this week.
I have finally finished piecing and sewing together the blessingway baby blanket. It has come together quite well considering all the different sized pieces people had contributed. I had to knit a couple of small pieces to fill in the gaps. I think it looks rather like a crazy quilt. I had to be rather creative in sewing it together as some pieces weren't square, but I think it add character to the blanket.
It is currently in the wash and then I will block it to get a neat rectangle. Hoping it will be given to the family this week.
As for reading. Sadly I haven't really had time this week. Although my copy of Little Things To Sew by Oliver + S arrived today. It has some cute projects that I will tackle in the near future.
Can't wait to see what everyone else is up to.

HERO (1997) Staring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Yuen Biao, Valerie Chow Kar-Ling, Jessica Hester, Yuen Wah, Yuen Tak Directed by Corey Yuen Kwai Produced by Mona Fong A Shaw Bothers Pictures Production
Review by R. L. Strong
Corey Yuen's latest film, "HERO" is notable on two fronts. First this is the film to bring back the Shaw Brothers Studio back to the forefront of film production. Secondly, the film is the re-discovery of Yuen Biao.
The film opens around the end of the Qin dynasty, when many immigrants were making their way to Shanghai. Poverty and crime rule most of China. A young man, Ma Wing Jing and his brother enter the fabled city and become laborers at the pier. Tam See is the most powerful gangster in town, having control of the center of the city and having an alliance with the British Army. Wing Jing and See become friends during a confrontation. Their friendship grows as both men start to realize their dreams, Wing Jing's to be a powerful and wealthy man, and See to settle down with a woman he can truly love.
Wing Jing meets the singer at the club (Jessica Hester) and falls in love with her, not realizing that she is the star attraction. After stealing her picture from a display, Wing Jing and his brother plot to impress her. First they rob two foreigner's of their money and cloths, and set up a midnight rendezvous. Unfortunately, Wing Jing has run afoul of a rival gangster, Yeung Seung who has bribed the police in an effort to gain control of See's night club. The two bothers are arrested and held until they manage to escape just before dawn. Jessica, having waited outside in the cold with her manager all night, gives up and returns home.
See decides to retire, he gives the night club to Wing Jing, as repayment for saving his life during an attempted murder. See arranges the trade and ask his lover (Valerie Chow) to take care of Wing Jing. Unfortunately, she has sided with Yeung Seung.
The performances in the film are all top notch, with fine turns by Takeshi Kaneshiro as Ma Wing Jing and Jessica Hester and Valerie Chow. The comic turn by Yuen Wah, previously known as the mad Vietnamese in Samo Hung's "EASTERN CONDORS", is a marvelous surprise. His gift for comedy is marvelously understated and hilarious. The stand-out is by Yuen Biao who returns to the screen after a string of disappointments, with a stellar performance. His Tam See is a Triad boss who knows that his time is coming to an end but still has the cunning and craft to uphold his pride. His gangster is almost non-violent, in that he only retaliates, never instigates violence. But when the time comes to fight, Yuen Biao has never looked better.
Corey Yuen directs the film with a maturity and a sense of pacing that has been lacking in Hong Kong movies as of late. The lighting, cinematography and staging of the film are beautiful to watch. The action scenes do not disappoint either. This is the most aggressive and inventive martial art choreography I've seen in some time, actually surpassing Jackie Chan's work in both 'Rumble in the Bronx' and 'First Strike'. The special effects team deserves praise for a fantastic job of making the impossible look possible. An early fight between Takeshi Kaneshiro and Yuen Biao on the back of a horse is to be seen to be believed. Also noteworthy is the score for the film, done in a marvelously lush orchestral style, not representative of most Hong Kong fare. I would dare to say it ranks as high as the scores for both "Titanic" and "Rosewood" as best of the year.
All in all, "HERO" marks a grand return to filmmaking for Shaw Brothers. This is the film that gives us faith that Hong Kong cinema is alive and flourishing.
