RIDE WITH THE DEVIL A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
Patience. In this Jerry Bruckheimer era of rock 'em, sock 'em filmmaking, audiences have little patience. Worse, when they do, the films frequently don't deliver the rewards promised by their slow approach, frustrating audiences and making them more likely to go for quick gratification the next time. There's nothing like watching Bruce Willis save the world, or some large part of it, to pump up your adrenaline.
In a complete opposite to the in-your-face action style of filmmaking, Ang Lee's career has been devoted to the human dimension. From his comedic EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN to his intimate SENSE AND SENSIBILITY to his biting THE ICE STORM, his pictures have cut through the gloss to deliver fascinating, realistic character studies.
Lee's latest, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL, tells a rarely told story of the American Civil War. Set on the Kansas/Missouri border, it follows a group of Southern militia, called the Bushwhackers, as they fight skirmishes with the locals, the Union army and their Northern counterparts, the Jayhawkers. Soldiers in the regular army fought gloriously and died, whereas the Bushwhackers just fought and died. The complex reasons why they chose this unusual path are explored and explained convincingly in James Schamus's script, which is based on a Daniel Woodrell novel ("Woe to Live On").
Those going expecting a traditional war picture will be sorely disappointed. If that's the film you want, then Lee is not the director to make it. RIDE WITH THE DEVIL moves with its own methodical rhythms and with most of its story told in quiet moments of anguish as the Bushwhackers hide between fights. Battle scenes there are, but they are few and far between and rarely take center stage.
The story is one of men, young and old, but mainly older teenagers, trying to wage a war of retribution against the better equipped Northerners. Lee sets this in a wonderfully pastoral setting, full of chirping crickets, clucking hens and mooing cows. The fighters aren't glamorous or heroic; they're just persistent and, for all their bravado, obviously frightened.
In the large ensemble cast, Tobey Maguire (THE ICE STORM), as the innocent and naive Jake Roedel, has perhaps the most important role. He isn't the leader, but the story revolves around him and his friends. With the arrival of a bleak winter the Bushwhackers disband into foursomes that go off to hide in the woods. Along with Jake the first winter are Jack Bull Chiles (Skeet Ulrich), George Clyde (Simon Baker-Denny) and Daniel Holt (Jeffrey Wright), an ex-slave whose freedom George purchased.
Adopted by a local Southern family, the men take a liking to the family's recently widowed daughter-in-law, Sue Lee Shelley (Jewel). "He was a good husband to me," Sue Lee rather matter-of-factly tells the four of her deceased husband. "The three weeks he was a good husband. He didn't last." It was a time when not much of anything lasted. Every visitor brought news of more dead friends, neighbors and relatives.
One of the touching scenes has the men reading stolen mail to Union soldiers. The letters are full of resignation to the fact that the recipient or the sender or both may be dead before the letter is delivered.
It was a cold and lonely calling, but the Bushwhackers coped somehow. The beauty of Lee's picture is that he relates their story with compassion but without schmaltz. Enlightening, fascinating and tender, it is the movie for those who want to get behind the lines and the action and get to know the individuals drawn into such a hellacious situation.
RIDE WITH THE DEVIL runs a little too long at 2:18. It is rated R for some graphic war violence and would be fine for older teenagers.

--- title: Introduction to Cats date: 2014-05-1 ---
The domestic cat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal.
It is often called the housecat when kept as an indoor pet, or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines.
Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt vermin and household pests.

[gecode-users] element constraint
Christian Schulte
cschulte at kth.se
Fri Oct 30 17:08:45 CET 2009
Element is just array access where the index and result are variables.
However, I think you got deceived by IntArgs: The first argument tells how
many values are to come. That is, when you write
IntArgs cf(4, 7,4,9,11);
It will create an integer argument array with four elements which are
{7,4,9,11}.

Subject: [gecode-users] element constraint
hi every one,
i just begin in gecode, i use the element constraint for matching two sets,
i read carefully "modeling with gecode" and i run this command:
IntArgs cf(4,13,4,25,16,29,8);
for(int i=0;i<7;i++)
{
element(*this, cf, xb[i], yb[i]);
}
xb and yb are IntVarArray (*this,8,0,30) i get this: {4,13,16,25} 7 times
and the last is [0...30]
if i try with this set cf(3,13,4,25,16,29,8) i get {4,13,25} 7 times and the
last is [0...30]
i haven't understand how this constraint work. can some one explain me ?
what i want to do is: first set i have this {0,1,2,3,4,5} the second set
containt a variable Intvar x with diffrent domain 0....10, 2..6, 4......44
i have to check if x is in the first set when x is egal to one of this
domain.

{{Unreferenced|date=July 2008}} {{Chinese|pic=Thin Noodle.jpg|t=幼麵|s=幼面|l=thin noodle|j=jau3 min6|p=yòu miàn}} Youmian (lit. "thin noodles") are a variety of Chinese noodle widely used in Southern China, especially in the cuisines of Hong Kong and Guangdong. It has also been selectively used in the cuisines of Shanghai, Malaysia, and Singapore. Youmian is also used in some dishes in the overseas Chinese communities.
Contents |
Thin noodles are generally made with eggs.<!--The eggs are an adjunct but are the noodles made from wheat flour?-->
One well known variety of thin noodles is called 全蛋麵 (Cantonese jyutping: cyun4 daan6 min6; Pinyin: quán dàn miàn; translating roughly as "whole egg noodles"). This variety is almost exclusively found in East and Southeast Asia, in regions with sizable Chinese populations.<!--Does this imply that it isn't found in Asian grocery stores outside Asia (i.e. in North America)? Otherwise, I'm not sure why this sentence is here.-->
Depending on the cuisine style, thin noodles may be boiled with some type of broth or stir fried in a wok.

int[] a = {42}
The quick fix for this inspection adds a new array expression to the initializer, e.g. int[] a = new int[]{42}.
int[] a = new int[]{42}


[gecode-users] Propagator
Jan Kelbel
kelbelj at fel.cvut.cz
Mon May 25 17:07:52 CEST 2009
Hi Christian,
thank you for the answer. From the things you described (and I already
tried, though I not really knew what it is doing), it must be something
else. The propagator has one array created in propagate() method using
Region allocator, that should be freed automatically when the
propagate() returns, and one SharedArray that is shared among all the
copies of one propagator.
Regards, Jan
Christian Schulte napsal(a):

Automation Toolsmithing
and Maintenance in Python
(For Acceptance Tests and Beyond)
Praveen Shirali
Test Architect, RiptideIO
BangPypers MeetUp - August 20th 2016, Bangalore, India.
This presentation IS NOT about:
- How to write tests in python
- Which test methodology to use
- Which framework to use
This presentation IS about:
- Building general-purpose tools for automation
- Extending them to suite your product under test
- Maintaining it as your product grows
- Adding more such tools to your 'suite'
Layers of testing:
-
Unit tests
-
Acceptance tests
-
End to end tests
-
Performance tests
-
Scalability tests
-
... and beyond!
In this talk we'll look at
Acceptance tests
and beyond...
Ground rules
-
Separate 'automation' from 'testing'
automation = how you exercise functionality in an automated way
testing = how you verify results
-
Automation code should go into a test-library
-
Testcase should comprise of test logic. It calls automation code, unaware of how it is performed.
-
Testcode and automation code command the same respect as product code.
Where to begin automation?
-
Identify the fastest way for your product to get to an isolated test-ready state.
(process?, VM?, container?)
-
Identify interactions.
(humans?, machines?)
-
Identify interface.
(cli?, webAPI?, UI?, other I/O devices?)
-
Brainstorm use-cases, tests for best Return-On-Investment (ROI).
Your first wrapper library
-
Choose a library or a tool as a starting point.
Example:
For product test deployment and management. (subprocess?, vm-sdks?, docker?...)
-
Write a class with basic methods to wrap this library or tool for generic use.
class Product(object):
def __init__(self, **config):
# consumes config based on which the product is launched
def start(self):
# starts the product; may be subprocess.Popen, may be docker run...
def is_alive(self):
# returns a bool on whether the product is running
def stop(self):
# stops the product
-
You've just built your wrapper lib. Version it. Test it. Maintain it.
Extending the wrapper library
-
Extend the wrapper to suit 'your' product by adding additional methods.
Example:
Your product stores logs, depends on a DB?
class MyProduct(Product, MyDatabase): # mixin
def __init__(self, **config):
def start(self):
def is_alive(self):
def stop(self):
...
def delete_log_files(self): # implmemented by MyProduct
def reset_database(self): # inherited from MyDatabase
def cleanup(self): # calls the above two methods
Mashing functionality based on common usage patterns
-
Build wrappers around functionality that can work together.
Example:
Mashup of a HTTP client and a response validator
Given a route to an endpoint, the HTTP client knows which validator to invoke on the result.
When a difference is found, it generates a diff of expected and actual responses.
-
API is simplified.
-
Only one place needs a change if a different functionality is desired.
APIs should always be simple -- hidden costs of APIs
-
Modification required at all places where an API is called. Prone to mistakes.
-
Hard to mentally track changes to APIs. Unlearning and relearning APIs is a pain.
-
API Documentation. Simpler APIs speak for themselves. Very little documentation required.
Choose your test framework wisely
-
Will your test code be python code or plain-text? (gherkin, DSL?)
-
You may be limited by features and bugs in what the test framework provides.
-
The test framework also decides the interface between the test library and the tests
Your test-library is king
-
Automation is not purely for tests alone. Think of simulations, long-running soak tests etc.
-
Consider an interactive python console to test-library APIs for quick hacks.
-
Handle CLI argument parsing through your test-library. Not through the test framework.
-
Launch the test-framework through your own script.

-
Pack common setup and teardown patterns into the test library.
Build a namespace of objects
-
You only need to deal with one object, which is a nested attribute tree to other objects.
-
You could use dependency-injection frameworks like SpringPython or just subclass from dict!
-
Test cases get immunity from changes to the test-library
Namespace example using dict -- Implementation
import json
class Dict(dict):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Dict, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
self[attr] = value
def __getattr__(self, attr):
return self[attr]
def __hasattr__(self, attr):
return True if attr in self else False
def __repr__(self):
return json.dumps(self, indent=4, sort_keys=True, default=repr)
Namespace example using dict -- Usage
d = Dict(one="ONE", two="TWO")
d.three = "THREE"
d.four = Dict(nested_four="NESTED_FOUR")
>>> print d
{
"four": {
"nested_four": "NESTED_FOUR"
},
"one": "ONE",
"three": "THREE",
"two": "TWO"
}
>>> print d.four.nested_four
NESTED_FOUR
Namespace example using dict -- Extended
n = Namespace()
n.set("parent.child.grandchild", MyClass())
>>> n.parent
{
"child": {
"grandchild": {{instance of MyClass}}
}
}
>>> print d.four.nested_four
NESTED_FOUR
Rely on logging
-
Python logger is insanely awesome. Use it as much as possible.
-
Override the __repr__ in the classes you define. Let the instance tell you its data.
-
Testing is meant to be debug-friendly. Make every attempt to keep things readable.
-
Quick turn around time matters a lot with in-field issues. Prepare for it in advance.
Automated data generation
-
Use a library to generate planned or random test data.
Example:
hypothesis
-
When you know your data models, its easy to build equivalence classes and generate test data.
-
Parametrize data. Implement the code to generate data in your test-library.
-
Test with insanely large values, wrong datatypes, magic strings etc
And, always plan for the following ...
-
Parallelization of test execution (with replicated test environments)
-
Replacement of 1st line libraries which you wrapped initially.
-
Maintenance of the test library for multiple version of your product
... cool stuff you could consider doing
-
Use tagging. Build reports on features covered, issues fixed, verified etc.
-
Automatically scale testruns horizontally with additional resources.
-
Tag defect IDs. Pull defect status and automatically regress fixed issues.

Mission
The mission of Copenhagen is to be the web's most intuitive code-editing component.
We need it to be easy to play with — we're working very
hard to deliver a best-in-class web-native development experience inside
of Autocode.
Both developers and non-developers spend hours of their time writing code
inside of our product each day and Copenhagen gives us complete control to
(1) innovate quickly while we (2) maintain a code-writing experience
as close as possible to the world's best native IDEs.
Why should I use Copenhagen?
VSCode's editor, Monaco,
is a great choice for a web-based code-editing component. However; it's
also over 2MB, not explicitly mobile-friendly, and has a pretty verbose API.
Copenhagen gets you 95% of the most useful functionality with 2.5% of the code.
Admittedly, Monaco currently performs better on gigantic files (>100kloc).
When comparing Copenhagen to Ace or
CodeMirror it really comes down to
personal preference — we like our API and editor and we hope you do, too.
We're committed to making sure it stays awesome.
How well-supported and stable is Copenhagen?
Copenhagen has been tested to work in most modern browsers: specifically
the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge as of March
16th, 2021. The API is likely to undergo significant improvement over
time, hence being labeled 0.1.3
. The editor as it exists
within Autocode is under constant development —
however, we don't know ahead of time what the public interest in Copenhagen
will be, so for now we'll be updating public releases as time permits.
Following: we have no public roadmap right now, but if you're
interested in helping, please let us know by
opening an issue on GitHub.
We're also hiring on the Autocode team, so feel free to e-mail us at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>What's with the name?
The first version of Copenhagen was built in a weekend at the
Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark during early 2018.
We launched it as a standalone product
that would eventually become Autocode. Monaco was too big, we weren't
happy with CodeMirror's API, and truthfully it was a bit of a fun exercise
in seeing if we could build our own. We didn't name it until February
2021 when we decided we wanted to open source it. The name seemed natural,
if not a little tongue-in-cheek — Microsoft's Monaco editor is named
after the city-state that's home to the Casino de Monte-Carlo,
and the hotel we were at is literally attached to Casino Copenhagen.
Development and license
The development of Copenhagen is funded by commercial interests and is
owned by Polybit Inc. DBA Autocode
(here is our team and list of investors),
but is fully open source and MIT licensed. We do not profit off of the
development of Copenhagen directly; proceeds from our commercial offering
help fund its development.
Updates and who to follow
You can follow Autocode team updates on Twitter at
@AutocodeHQ. The primary
author of Copenhagen is @keithwhor (Keith Horwood)
with the support of @Hacubu (Jacob Lee).
Special thanks to @threesided (Scott Gamble)
and @YusufMusleh for hundreds
of hours of testing in total, and thanks to our users and customers for
plenty of feedback. Enjoy Copenhagen, we sure have! 😎

In this experiment, you will see two types of charts.
Press s or d to continue.
This tutorial describes their configurations by drawing the same data with the two methods.
Press s or d to continue.
Each data point associates two values - a value on the blue axis and another on the green axis - with a point in time. Note the difference in the location of the green axis.
Press s or d to continue.
The two values are on the left drawn with two points, and on the right drawn with a single point.
On the left, time flows left to right. On the right, there are arrowheads on the lines to indicate such direction.

Payback (1999)
Director: Brian Helgeland Cast: Mel Gibson, Maria Bello, Gregg Henry, James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, David Paymer, Deborah Kara Unger Screenplay: Terry Hayes, Brian Helgeland Producers: Bruce Davey, Mel Gibson Runtime: 102 min. US Distribution: Paramount Rated R: strong violence, language, drug use, sex
Copyright 1998 Nathaniel R. Atcheson
I don't like the concept of theatrical trailers: they give the audience unrealistic expectations. More importantly, though, they tend to mislead viewers. This is the case with Payback, an intensely violent and sarcastic film about a man who just isn't nice at all. The previews make Payback look like a piece of cynical fluff, in which Mel Gibson struts around casting one-liners at his leisure, and occasionally shooting bad guys in a goofy and trivial way. The previews may get people in the theater, but at least ten people at my screening left long before the credits rolled. So, consider my warning: Payback is not a lighthearted Friday night at the movies.
With that said, I can admit that Payback is not a bad movie. True, it is very dark -- director/co-writer Brian Helgeland clearly has an aversion to overhead lighting. And it's often ridiculously violent; aside from a several sadomasochistic sex segments, we get to see numerous people undergo violent deaths from multiple angles. And Mel Gibson gets his feet crushed by a psycho with a framing hammer. It's never a pleasant film: the characters are more reprehensible than likable, and most of them enjoy inflicting pain on others. There are some funny parts, but it's not a funny film on the whole. Payback is well-made, but it left me feeling pretty drab.
The film is based on a novel called The Hunter, which spawned the 1967 film Point Blank. In Payback, Gibson plays a crook named Porter (don't ask about his first name). The film opens with Porter lying unconscious on a table, as someone removes a couple of bullets from his back with a pair of pliers. "Not many people know what their life's worth," he says in a voice-over. "I do. Seventy grand. That's what they took from me, and that's what I'm gonna get back." That statement basically sums up the entire film: Porter does everything he can (and with as much indifference as possible) to get his money back.
There are a lot of colorful characters we get to meet along the way; the first one is Porter's wife (Deborah Kara Unger), a heroin addict. In a flashback, we learn that she betrayed her husband with the help of a slimeball named Val (Gregg Henry). In present time, Porter's main target is Val, but when he learns that the money Val stole went to a crime syndicate, Porter must travel higher up the ladder, and eventually deal with the head guy (Kris Kristofferson). Porter's love interest is a prostitute (Maria Bello) with whom he has a seedy past. Other actors featured in prominent roles are James Coburn (as one of the many crime bosses) and David Paymer (as a low-life associating with a couple of crooked cops).
The rules you can use in detecting the fate of a character are as follows: 1) if female, she's a hooker or a drug addict, and will usually end up beaten severely; 2) if male, he's a crime lord or a drug dealer who will eventually betray Porter (if he hasn't already) and get shot multiple times or blown to pieces with lots of explosives. It's not meant to be pleasant; it is, after all, a crime thriller about bad people. But when your "good" guy is the meanest of a group of really mean dudes, you need to find his one good trait and exploit it. That's the main problem with Payback: I was never given much of a reason to like Porter.
The problem isn't in Gibson's performance; in fact, he's really quite good, and plays the character stone-faced and without a glimpse of sympathy.  The subplot with his girlfriend is clearly intended to make him a little more human; Bello is effective in the female role, but the relationship never really develops and therefore doesn't resonate the way it needs to. It's not that Porter is a loathsome guy: there are times when he'll win you over. It's just the rest of the time, when he simply shoots people because they're standing in his way, when you'll think twice about really sympathizing with him and his financial issues.
The preview does promise comedy, and I'll admit that there are a few scenes that had me exploding with laughter. One scene, near the beginning, has Porter staring into a mirror, practicing his smile so he can fit in with the rest of the human race. The scene in which Porter confronts Mr. Fairfax (the Coburn character) is truly hilarious, especially when Fairfax finds out that Porter just wants $70,000. "Hell, my suits cost more than that!" he shouts as Porter makes his way out. There's a superb running joke that Porter keeps having to correct people about the amount of money he wants (everyone thinks it's $130,000). And then there's the S&M subplot, featuring a surly Asian prostitute (Lucy Alexis Liu) that is both hilarious and brutal.
But when you're not laughing, you'll probably just be cringing from all the violence the characters endure. I read that the test screenings had people saying the film was too dark, and that Helgeland walked away from the project when the studio ordered that some scenes be re-shot. I can't imagine the picture being more dark than it is, but I suppose it's also possible that Helgeland's original cut made Porter a more likable guy. And even though the theatrical trailers make the film look like an exercise in action-comedy, the final version isn't a complete failure -- it has most of the right elements, and Helgeland does a great job with style and tone. But in a movie where the hero is more terrifying than the bad guys, there better be a darn good reason to like him. I gave up trying about half way through.

Greetings,
My name is RABI AL SALIH, wife of MAHAMMED MAHDI AL SALIH, the former Iraqi minister for Interior Affairs. I got your email address through the internet while searching for a reliable person to help me and I believe you can be able to help me and my family.
My husband was captured on 23 April 2003 by the US forces. My husband is presently in jail and facing trial on charges of terrorism, corruption, embezzlement and the mysterious charge of plunder which might lead to death sentence. During my husband's regime as Minister for Interior, I realized some reasonable amount of money from various deals that I successfully executed. I have plans to invest this money for my children's future on real estate and industrial production. My husband is not aware of this because I wish to do it secretly for now.
Before the US invaded our nation, I secretly siphoned the sum of $12,000,000 million USD out of Iraq and deposited the money with a security firm that transports valuable goods and consignments through diplomatic means. I also declared that the consignment was solid gold belonging to my foreign business partner. I am contacting you because I want you to go to the security company and claim the money on my behalf since I have declared that the consignment belong to my foreign business partner. You shall also be required to assist me in investment in your country.
I trust you as a reliable person who will not sit on this money when you claim it, rather assist me properly I expect you to declare what percentage of the total money you will take for your assistance. when I receive your positve response I will give you all the necessary informations to enable you proceed to the security company and claim the money. I shall also let you know where the security company is and the consignment pin code to claim the consignment, which is very important. I assure you 100% safety and success once you follow my instructions.
For now, let all our communication be by e-mail because my line are tight now connected to the US Forces Telecomunication Network services. Please also send me your telephone and fax number. I will give more details when I receive your reply.
Yours Sincerely,
Rabi.

A Message to Humanity About Nicolas Cage.
He is a man of many talents and interesting facts.
 You need to keep your corpse secure from grave-robbers and crazed fans, and Nicolas Cage is set in that department. He’s got a nine foot tall stone pyramid in one of New Orleans’ most famous cemeteries that his body will be interred within."
Fact #2
He sued Kathleen Turner because she claimed that he stole a chihuahua.
"Hollywood is a notoriously lawsuit-happy place, but this one is bizarre by any standards. In 2008, Kathleen Turner published her memoir, Send Yourself Roses, and a chunk of it dealt with her experience working with Cage on Peggy Sue Got Married. Turner claimed that her co-star was once busted by the cops for swiping a Chihuahua. Cage protested, sued, and eventually won a public apology."
Fact #3
He once owned a pet octopus
"Nicolas Cage is notorious for his profligate spending, blowing huge sums on castles, yachts, a jet and a T-rex skull. So when it came time for him to get a pet for his house, no dog or cat would do. Instead, the actor dropped a bundle on an octopus, telling the press that he needed it to 'help him with his acting.” Your guess is as good as ours on how exactly that works.'"'

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME A film review by Blake French Copyright 2001 filmcritic.com
Two Can Play That Game turns love into a brutal battleground of the sexes. It's not about relationships as much as it is about the "rules" they abide by (or don't abide by). A twisted version of Angela Bassett in How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Vivica A. Fox stars as a successful businesswoman named Shante Smith. She's a player, as she explains in the opening scenes, knowing as much as there is to know about the "rules" of love.
 One night, Shante finds her love dancing with another woman at a nightclub -- and so begins the vicious battles of the sexes. Will the two get back together, or will this be the end of their relationship?
As is obviously intended, Two Can Play That Game is sure to hit big with the African American audience, but it should also be treasured as a great date movie for the moviegoing public at large.  With as many twists and turns as this romantic comedy takes, you're sure to have a good time.
Still, while the production contains all the correct ingredients, it uses them in the wrong recipe. It hits a humorous bulls-eye with plenty of cultural issues, but it lacks the very substance it's made of: True love. The film, written and directed by Mark Brown, makes a common Hollywood mistake of confusing sexuality with true passion. Not that this destroys the film; in fact, for an R-rated sex comedy, this is very tame material. This production takes risks, but for a movie that concerns itself so much with romance, it just doesn't get any of that across convincingly.
With frequent soliloquies, intrusive narration, and a central character that very much takes center stage, Shante does not just narrate the film, she explains it. Throughout the journey, she speaks directly to the camera. Seldom do filmmakers gamble their success on such an unusual style, but the conceit gives the movie a sense of independence, attitude, and a unique, experimental flavor. Fox's performance keeps energy alive, even when she knows her mouth is running a little too much. It's surprisingly entertaining.
Alas, the film does not really earn its ending. It doesn't persuasively prove the characters' sudden realizations. But who cares? Two Can Play That Game is still light-hearted and fluffy. It exists solely to please the audience, but it also works as a social commentary.

Netgen 3D example
This example demonstrates how to setup a 3D simulation on a geometry built with Netgen and run it. The geometry is a sphere within a cube. The sphere has a different refractive index than the cube. The mesh is created so that there is a circular domain within one surface of the cube. You can view the Netgen Python source code here
Note: This is example requires a powerful computer to run.
Contents
Import the NetGen file
clear all; if(exist('sphere_in_box.vol', 'file') ~= 2) error('Could not find the mesh data file. Please run netgen netgen_sphere_in_box.py'); end [vmcmesh regions region_names boundaries boundary_names] = importNetGenMesh('sphere_in_box.vol', false);
Find indices from the file
background = cell2mat(regions(find(strcmp(region_names,'background')))); sphere = cell2mat(regions(find(strcmp(region_names,'sphere'))));
Set optical coefficients
vmcmedium.absorption_coefficient(:) = 0.01;
vmcmedium.scattering_coefficient(:) = 0.01;
vmcmedium.scattering_anisotropy(:) = 0.9;
vmcmedium.refractive_index(:) = 1.0;
% Use the indices
vmcmedium.absorption_coefficient(background) = 0.01;
vmcmedium.scattering_coefficient(background) = 0.3;
vmcmedium.scattering_anisotropy(background) = 0.9;
vmcmedium.refractive_index(background) = 1.0;
vmcmedium.absorption_coefficient(sphere) = 0.01;
vmcmedium.scattering_coefficient(sphere) = 0.3;
vmcmedium.scattering_anisotropy(sphere) = 0.9;
vmcmedium.refractive_index(sphere) = 1.7;
Find boundary elements
A circular domain for the light source was meshed (circle r = 1.0 at the face of the cube whose normal points to [-1 0 0]) but it is not contained as a separate boundary condition. We can use findBoundaries to find it manually.
lightsource1 = findBoundaries(vmcmesh, 'direction', [0 0 0 ], [-5 0 0], 1.1); vmcboundary.lightsource(lightsource1) = {'direct'};
Plot the mesh
figure hold on trimesh(vmcmesh.BH,vmcmesh.r(:,1),vmcmesh.r(:,2),vmcmesh.r(:,3),'facecolor', 'r','FaceAlpha',0.2); % Highlight the location for the lightsource for the plot trimesh(vmcmesh.BH(lightsource1,:),vmcmesh.r(:,1), vmcmesh.r(:,2),vmcmesh.r(:,3),'facecolor', 'b'); % Show the sphere tetramesh(vmcmesh.H(sphere,:), vmcmesh.r); xlabel('x [mm]'); ylabel('y [mm]'); zlabel('z [mm]'); view(-36,16); hold off
Run the simulation
options.photon_count=1e8; solution = ValoMC(vmcmesh, vmcmedium, vmcboundary,options);
ValoMC-3D -------------------------------------------- Version: v1.0b-118-g853f111 Revision: 131 OpenMP enabled Using 16 threads -------------------------------------------- Initializing MC3D... Computing... ...done Done
Visualize the solution
Visualizing large tetrahedral meshes is often cumbersome. Alternative, less power consuming option is to use exportX3D to export solution to X3D format and view the file using e.g. meshlab. See 'help exportX3D' for more details.
figure hold on halfspace_elements = findElements(vmcmesh, 'halfspace', [0 0 0], [0 1 0]); tetramesh(vmcmesh.H(halfspace_elements,:), vmcmesh.r, solution.element_fluence(halfspace_elements)); view(-10,10); % %hold xlabel('x [mm]'); ylabel('y [mm]'); zlabel('z [mm]'); c = colorbar; c.Label.String = 'Fluence [(W/mm^2)]';


I recently purchased some Blue Lotus 15x extract from an online supplier in search of a pain-therapy alternative to marijuana.
My package arrived on time via USPS parcel, and I hurried home and into my room for a look. First off, this stuff looks better than any other 'legal' opiates I have bought online such as the Mexican Prickly Poppy which turned out to be bunk as hell.
Secondly, just the smell and the green oil associated with this black hard gunk made me start to think, 'Hey, I might just have something here.' And lastly, the taste is something like a blast from the past like we have all smoked this stuff before (maybe itís just my own reality created through the deja vu I get daily around my present group of friends).
The smell and taste is sweet like a Blue flower would be expected to be. Very attractive. However, to achieve full potential of this flower (which I have only smoked it) is difficult because my pipe eventually gets to hot to smoke out of. And when it comes to me and entheogens I always prefer smoking them first instead of oral dosing because of the time duration being much shorter usually via smoking.
So I have still not drank it, but I will eventually. I am out right now and waiting for the next order.
However, smoking is very mild and pleasant. I cant say it would ever replace pot because of marijuanas psychological addictive qualities, but it makes me not miss real morphine as much.
I like to smoke about 1/4 of a gram at a sitting to myself. It is fun also sharing with friends, but again, my smoking utensil usually gets too hot to fast. After a while, it can get slightly difficult to even relight my lighter, or hold the pipe up.
The effects are quite subtle, mellow and numbing. And absolutely no side effects except sleep of course. I recently had found myself in a phase of insomnia in my life and this was truly a cure-all, or at least I would sleep four to six hours instead of not at all.
So medicinally, on a scale of 1 to 10 for the price and ease of use via smoking, I would give it an 8. I am sure if I got the balls to finally drink some mixed with water or alcohol I would rate it a 10.
Hell, I even mix it with pot to find a nice synergy there. Not bad, not bad.

PhenologyMMS 2.0
Tools Menu - DRAFT
Add Weather File –
There are three tabs on the dialog box that appear when the ‘Add Weather File’
is selected. These tabs include:
Add Weather File – From this tab, a weather file can be added to the
database for use in creating a simulation for a new location.
1. First select the Country from the
drop-down box. NOTE: Currently, only the United States is available in the
Country choices. You can add a new country in the second tab described below.
2. Next, select the state for which you
are adding a new weather file from the dropdown list.
3. Enter a Name for the new weather file
4. Enter the latitude of the location
for which the new weather file applies.
5. Press the ‘Add Weather File’ button
to add the weather file
a. The ‘Select a Weather File’ dialog
box will open and point to the current Country which as of now, the only
selectin possible is ‘United States’. Double click on the country name and
select the weather file listed there. If more folders are available under the
country for a state or region, then double click on the appropriate choice and
select the weather file by clicking on the file name and pressing the Select
button.
b. You will be returned to the Add
Weather File dialog box and if the weather file is successfully added to the
database, a message showing “Successful!” will appear in the empty edit box.
c. NOTE: If you add another weather file
without closing this dialog box, the “Successful!” message remains, i.e. it
does not get cleared when selecting another weather file to add to the
database.
Add Country – On this tab, you
may add a new Country. There are two ways to add a Country:
1. “Do It Yourself”
a. Enter the Name of the Country to be
added in the ‘Country Name:’ text box without quotes (“”).
b. Enter the ALPHA 3 Code for the
Country in the ‘Country ALPHA 3 Code:’ text box.
c. The Table name for your new Country
in the ‘Your New Country Table Name:’ text box is automatically entered when
the two entries are made above..
d. Answer the question “Does Your
Country Have Regions or States:” by checking the check box if the answer is
‘Yes’. The New Country is then saved in the Weather database. You will need to
add records to your New Country and additional columns if desired.
e. Click the ‘Add Country’ button and if
it is successfully added, a message showing “Successful” will appear in the
text box below the button.
2. “The Easy Way”
a. This option is essentially the same
as the “Do It Yourself” option with the exception of the ‘Country Name’ and the
‘Country ALPHA 3 Code’. The Country Name has a list of Countries already loaded
in the dropdown box and you simply select the Country which you wish to add to
the database. NOTE: Even though all the countries are listed in the dropdown,
only the United States Country is actually in the
current database.
b. The difference in the ‘Country ALPHA
3 Code’ is that when a country is selected above then that Country’s ALPHA 3
Code automatically loads in the dropdown list. Open that list and select the
code for the above Country.
c. When these selections have been made,
the table name is automatically entered in the ‘Your New Country Table Name:’
text box. This is the name that will be entered in the database.
d. Click in the checkbox to answer ‘Yes’
to the question “Does Your Country Have Regions or States:” if true.
e. Click the ‘Add Country’ button and if
it is successfully added, a message showing “Successful” will appear in the
text box below the button.

GDD Method –
choose from one of four methods, generally wheat, barley, millet etc. use
Method 1 and corn, dry beans, sorghum and sunflower use Method 2. Methods 3 and
4 are not yet implemented. GDD refers to the measure of thermal time which is
expressed as the number of Growing Degree Days.
m.
GDD/Leaf – this
is also the phyllochron value. That is, the number of GDD’s required to produce
one leaf.
2.
In the Automate
GDD section, you can choose how you to want to enter the Growth Stage Names.
a.
You can choose
the ‘Do It Yourself’ option by clicking in the radio button and then entering
the appropriate growth stage names in the ‘Growth Stage Names’ section below.
b.
You can choose
the automated method of entering growth stage names by clicking in the radio
button for the ‘Automate’ option. Five Growth Stages will be entered in the
‘Growth Stage Names’ section.
c.
If the new crop
requires vernalization, click the check box next to ‘Vernalization Needed’.
3.
In the ‘Emergence
Data’ section, enter the values needed for each soil moisture condition. The
four soil moisture conditions are: ‘Optimum’, ‘Medium’, ‘Dry’, and ‘Planted in
Dust’. The four data items needed include:
a.
wfpslo – this is the lower value of the range for the ‘water filled pore
space’ in percent needed for the particular soil moisture condition.
b.
wfpsup - this is the upper value of the range for the ‘water filled pore
space’ in percent needed for the particular soil moisture condition.
c.
germgdd – this is the amount of GDD’s required for a soil
moisture condition to allow germination to occur.
d.
ergdd – this is the amount of GDD’s required for the
germinated seedling to elongate one mm.
4.
When all the data
are entered, and you are satisfied with the values, press the Add button at the
bottom of the screen to add this new Crop Type to the Phenology Database.
Add Crop Variety – enter the data specific to the new variety of one
of the included crops.
1.
Choose the Crop
for which you wish to describe a new variety.
2.
In the ‘Add Crop
Variety’ edit box, enter the name of the new variety.
3.
Enter the
Phyllochron value in the Phyllochron text box. This is used in populating the
Number of Leaves section.
4.
From this tab, in
the ‘GDD’ section, enter the GDD’s required for each growth stage for both No
Stress and Stressed conditions. NOTE: the boxes do not align well with the
Growth Stage Names. Check to make sure you have entered the correct GDD’s for
each growth stage.
5.
The ‘Number of
Leaves’ section is automatically filled based on the Phyllochron and the GDD’s
entered in the ‘GDD’ section.
6.
Enter the data
required in the ‘Vernalization’ section. This includes:
a.
The Number of
Vernalization Days - the number of days at vernalizing temperatures required by
the crop variety.
b.
Base Temp – the
base temperature below which no days are accumulated toward the required number
of vernalizing days.
c.
Lower Optimum
Temp – the average daily temperature is compared to these three temperatures
(Lower Optimum, Upper Optimum and Max) and based on where the average
temperature for the current day falls in relation to these temperatures, the
number of Vernalization Days is increased.
d.
Upper Optimum
Temp – see Lower Optimum Temp
e.
Max Temp – see
Lower Optimum Temp
f.
Devernalization
Temp – If the average daily temperature is higher than the Devernalization
Temp, then the Number of Vernalization Days is decreased, thus prolonging the
time to becoming fully vernalized.
7.
Additional Data
Section. These data are varied and include:
a.
The GDD Method to
be used. Enter a 1 or 2. Method 1 tends to be used for plants using the C3
Carbon Fixation Pathway and Method 2 tends to be used for Crops using the C4
Carbon Fixation Pathway. Typical crops using Method 1 include wheat, barley, and
millet. Crops using Method 2 include corn, sorghum, sunflower, and dry beans.
b.
P1D – this is the
photoperiod sensitivity of the cultivar. It is measured in hours.
c.
P1DT – this is
the optimal long photoperiod. It is measured in hours and values higher than P1DT
have no additional effect on development.
d.
Canopy Height –
the maximum plant canopy height the crop can be expected to achieve.
System Settings – On this option there is one tab named ‘Input Page’.
You can set the System Settings for the Country and Region. NOT SURE WHAT THIS
