The Long Kiss Goodnight Directed by Geena Davis' husband. Starring Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. Cameo by Larry King. Reviewed by Michael A. Turton. Dissed by everybody.
In the tradition of _Attack of the Killer Tomatoes_, sailing the course set by _Cutthroat Island_, comes _The Long Kiss Goodnight_, a movie so bad it is absolutely enjoyable. Laugh yourself silly over this disaster which scores a perfect "0" in every category -- plot, acting, directing, editing, you name it, all bad. Of course, if you take movies at all seriously, you may not like this bomb.
The idea (I won't use the word 'story') behind TLKG is that a plain schoolteacher and single mother named Samantha Caine, who is suffering from amnesia, is really a government assassin who is suffering an episode of madness, hiding inside a fake identity, apparently to escape the burdens of killing.  As Samantha Caine goes in search of her past in the company of a private detective she has employed, Mitch (Samuel L. Jackson) she happens to resurface just when her (unnamed) old agency is staging a fake terrorist attack on the town of Niagara Falls (code named Operation Honeymoon) to drum up support for funding in Congress. The result is a blizzard of ever more impossible and incredible events until the mind reaches a state wherein the critical faculty ceases to operate in a serious mode and laughter is the only possible response.
How to sum up TLKG in a single sentence? Suffice to say: in what other flick can you hear the phrase "blithering idiot" uttered with complete earnestness? I can't say when the last time was I enjoyed a movie so much. There were places where I laughed myself to tears.
Foremost among the movie's galaxy of failure is the acting. Except for a strong performance from the newcomer playing the urbanely psychotic Timothy and Samuel L. Jackson, whose emotional outbursts seem like the flailing of a man drowning in quicksand, everyone in TLKG has clearly studied at the Wooden Indian Academy of Self-Expression. The smirking, leaden delivery of Geena Davis would drive Trek's Data mad with envy. The professor who trained her is a gem of bad acting working with an awful script, a cornucopia of pompous nonsense poured out at lightspeed.
Plot and script meanwhile are a miracle of self-conscious silliness. Bad line follows bad line in orderly procession as though saved up for the occasion (although here and there a good line pops out like a struggling hand poking through the surface of a swamp).  Of course, it takes place at Christmas. Of course nobody dies at the end and all families are reconstituted. Of course there is only one black man, who is of course a former jailbird and divorced. Being a Minority, he of course is endowed with Primitive Wisdom which enables Samantha to recognize her True self.
As if cliches weren't bad enough, implausibilities and continuity failures abound. How does a woman with no past get hired as a schoolteacher? What happened to the man who was trapped in the burning car when Samantha has her accident? Why do the government agents choose to make a hit on Samantha by using automatic weapons in the middle of a crowded train station? How did Samantha and Mitch get out of the phone company after taking everyone there hostage? Where are they at the end? I could go on in this vein, but I'm sure the reader gets the picture.
The directing and editing are in no way inferior to the acting, plot and script. Characters constantly undergo dimensional shift as they reposition themselves in badly-edited shots. Some shots are visually incomprehensible, especially the scene of Samantha lying in the snow with the dead deer. The action in this movie must be seen to not be believed. My personal favorite: while sitting in a chair, Mitch is blown out of a second-story window in an explosion, blown through a neon sign, lands in a tree, falls into a snowbank, and gets up immediately to throw a knife through an attacker's throat. All in a day's work for our hero.
There's no question that this could have been a great movie.  Her sluttishness is an obvious act, her menace comes off as mere irritation. The potentially compelling conflict between her submerged identity and her assumed one could have been interesting, but comes off as cliched.  One yearns for the energy and dark genius of a Tim Burton.
 I suppose "profound lack of judgement" must have become a job requirement for suits these days. 0 out of 5: don't see, don't rent, don't even watch the trailer.

Parameterized reporting is powerful but complicated. This package makes it simpler by providing a single function — multireport()
— to simplify the processing.
You can install the package from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("dgkeyes/multireport")
This shows how to make multiple reports using the multireport()
function:
library(multireport)
parameters <- tibble(
state = unique(fivethirtyeight::bad_drivers$state),
losses = unique(fivethirtyeight::bad_drivers$losses)
)
multireport(rmarkdown = "inst/report.Rmd",
params_data_frame = parameters,
report_title_param = "state",
report_suffix = "-report",
report_title_to_lower = TRUE,
report_format = "html_document",
report_output_directory = "inst/reports/")
This will generate a series of reports in the inst/reports folder.

@(message: String) @Main("Page1") {
Skip attended Mission Bay High School and began his professional surfing career in 1958. His first board was a balsa board shaped by legend Mike Diffenderfer. Skip rode professionally for G&S surfboards and eventually created his own model for them in 1967. Skip captured national titles and represented the United States team internationally in 1966. Frye has appeared on many magazine covers including Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (1969, with model Jamee Becker), The Surfer's Journal, Surfing, and Surfer Magazine.
Skip is known for his gliding, fluid style as well as some of the most in-demand surfboards in the world. He is perhaps, best recognized by his iconic logo, a set of wings commonly referred to as "Frye Wings." Though once he was in a rough patch in the 70s and couldn't even afford to buy laminates so he started signing his wings in pencil. This is referred to as his "ghetto days", when he shaped surfboards behind Select Surf Shop in Pacific Beach. Iconic images of him surfing with his dog, silhouetted against a setting sun, and paddling alone into "The Ranch" have appeared in books and magazines and have been printed on clothing and surfboards.[1] Skip is also known for his innovation with foiled surfboard fins. After a surfing trip to Australia in 1969, he developed his trademark board shapes: the Egg, Fish, and specialized longboard shapes. He has developed a moderate temperature surf wax ("Man Wax"), ideal for his native San Diego waters.

Prince Harry takes Archie to playgroup - and makes a joke about his son's ginger hair
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been taking their little boy Archie to a playgroup in Windsor, and it sounds like he's making some new friends
by Zoe Forsey, https://www.facebook.com/zoeforseymirror/Prince Harry took his son Archie to nursery for the first time this week, and make a joke to the other parents about his ginger hair.
The Duke's wife Meghan Markle has been to the Windsor centre with their little boy previously, but it was now dad's turn to go along.
According to a source, Archie was "particularly taken" by two other red-haired babies, which Harry picked up on straight away, reports the Express .
They said: "Archie had a fantastic time. He was crawling around and was particularly taken with two other red-haired babies.
“The Duke said: ‘Gingers stick together!’"
Meghan revealed she had started taking Archie to the playgroup last month , and it sounds like he's really enjoying it.
Speaking to a Milly Sutherland, 11, and her mum Angela, 50, at the Wellchild Awards, she said: “I just took Archie for his first [playgroup] class. It was a lot of fun. He loved it.”
Afterwards Angela said: “She took him to one of these baby classes today and she said they had loads of fun together. She said it was really good fun.”

They will travel to California to see Meghan's mum Doria Ragland.
Their decision also means they won't spend Christmas Day with the Royal Family at Sandringham, as is tradition.
Prince William and Kate are expected at Sandringham with their three children and other members of the royal family as a rift between the two brothers shows no sign of being quashed.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month.
“Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’ mother Doria Ragland.
“This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the Royal Family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen.
“For security reasons, we will not be providing further details on their schedule at this time.”

Next: 5.5 Primary Array or
Up: 5.4 Header Keyword Read/Write
Previous: 5.4.1 Keyword Reading Routines
Contents
- 1
- Write a keyword of the appropriate data type into the
CHU. The first routine simply appends a new keyword whereas the
second routine will update the value and comment fields of the
keyword if it already exists, otherwise it appends a new
keyword. Note that the address to the value, and not the value
itself, must be entered. The datatype parameter specifies the
data type of the keyword value with one of the following values:
TSTRING, TLOGICAL (== int), TBYTE, TSHORT, TUSHORT, TINT, TUINT,
TLONG, TLONGLONG, TULONG, TFLOAT, TDOUBLE. Within the context of this
routine, TSTRING corresponds to a 'char*' data type, i.e., a pointer
to a character array. A null pointer may be entered for the
comment parameter in which case the keyword comment
field will be unmodified or left blank.
int fits_write_key / ffpky
(fitsfile *fptr, int datatype, char *keyname, DTYPE *value,
char *comment, > int *status)
int fits_update_key / ffuky
(fitsfile *fptr, int datatype, char *keyname, DTYPE *value,
char *comment, > int *status)
- 2
- Write a keyword with a null or undefined value (i.e., the
value field in the keyword is left blank). The first routine
simply appends a new keyword whereas the second routine will update
the value and comment fields of the keyword if it already exists,
otherwise it appends a new keyword. A null pointer may be
entered for the comment parameter in which case the keyword
comment
field will be unmodified or left blank.
int fits_write_key_null / ffpkyu
(fitsfile *fptr, char *keyname, char *comment, > int *status)
int fits_update_key_null / ffukyu
(fitsfile *fptr, char *keyname, char *comment, > int *status)
- 3
- Write (append) a COMMENT or HISTORY keyword to the CHU. The comment or
history string will be continued over multiple keywords if it is longer
than 70 characters.
int fits_write_comment / ffpcom
(fitsfile *fptr, char *comment, > int *status)
int fits_write_history / ffphis
(fitsfile *fptr, char *history, > int *status)
- 4
- Write the DATE keyword to the CHU. The keyword value will contain
the current system date as a character string in 'yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss'
format. If a DATE keyword already exists in the header, then this
routine will simply update the keyword value with the current date.
int fits_write_date / ffpdat
(fitsfile *fptr, > int *status)
- 5
- Write a user specified keyword record into the CHU. This is
a low-level routine which can be used to write any arbitrary
record into the header. The record must conform to the all
the FITS format requirements.
int fits_write_record / ffprec
(fitsfile *fptr, char *card, > int *status)
- 6
- Update an 80-character record in the CHU. If a keyword with the input
name already exists, then it is overwritten by the value of card. This
could modify the keyword name as well as the value and comment fields.
If the keyword doesn't already exist then a new keyword card is appended
to the header.
int fits_update_card / ffucrd
(fitsfile *fptr, char *keyname, char *card, > int *status)
- 7
- Modify (overwrite) the comment field of an existing keyword.
int fits_modify_comment / ffmcom
(fitsfile *fptr, char *keyname, char *comment, > int *status)
- 8

Probability Basics
Probability
Probability is the logical framework for quantifying uncertainity and randomness. Central to the subject of probability is the concept of random experiment.
Random Experiment
An experiment whose results may not be same when it is repeated is called an Random Experiment. All possible outcomes of a random experiment is represented by a set called Sample Space S
To do a random experiment we need to define a task whose outcomes are stochiastic (not deterministic). Examples of such tasks are flipping a coin, drawing a card from deck of cards etc…
When a fair coin is flipped there is a 50% chance for head or tails to appear. For a biased coin we can represent the probability to get a head by p. This is modeled by a bernoulli trial given by
In the code block below we model a Coin and visualize the outcome by flipping the coin 100 times
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
class Coin(object):
def __init__(self, p=0.5):
"""
p(float): Represents the probability to get a head. Fair coin by default as p=0.5
"""
self.p = p
def flip(self, repeat=1):
"""
Flips the coin repeat number of times
repeat(int): Number of times to repeat the experiment
"""
outcomes = []
for i in range(repeat):
outcomes.append(np.random.binomial(1, self.p, 1)[0])
return outcomes
def viz(self, outcomes):
"""
Plots a histogram of distribution
"""
plt.figure(facecolor=(1, 1, 1))
plt.title("Probability of getting heads or tails in n trails")
plt.xlabel(" 0- Tails 1 - Heads")
plt.ylabel("Number of heads or tails")
plt.hist(outcomes, density=True, color="green")
coin = Coin(0.23)
coin.viz(coin.flip(100))
Random Variable
A random variable is a function which maps sample space S to real numbers R. Output is random because of randomness of experiment on S. So they are numerical summaries of random experiment. Consider the case of flipping a two coins at the same time. We can define a random variable X which counts the number of heads when flipped at the same time.
| C1 | C2 | X | P(X=k) |
|---|---|---|---|
| T | T | 0 | 0.25 |
| T | H | 1 | 0.25 |
| H | T | 1 | 0.25 |
| H | H | 2 | 0.25 |
P(X=0) = P(T, T) = 0.25
P(X=1) = P(H, T) + P(T, H) = 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.5
P(X=2) = P(H, H) = 0.25
P(X=k) is probability mass function (P.M.F). Cumulative distribution function tells if a random will have a value less than or equal to k.
In the code block below we use binomial distribution to simulate flipping multiple coins and plot the PMF (Probability of getting differnet number of heads)
class Coins(object):
def __init__(self, num_coins, p):
"""
num_coins(int): Number of coins in experiment
p(float): probability to get a head
"""
self.num_coins = num_coins
self.p = p
def flip(self, num_trails=1):
"""
Returns number of success after num_trails
"""
return [np.random.binomial(self.num_coins, self.p) for i in range(num_trails)]
def viz_pmf(self, outcomes):
"""
Plots probability mass function
"""
n = len(outcomes)
plt.figure(facecolor=(1, 1, 1))
plt.title("PMF of a binomial distribution from flipping " + str(self.num_coins) + " coins")
plt.xlabel("Number of heads")
plt.ylabel("P(X=k)")
plt.hist(outcomes, density=True, color="green")
def viz_cdf(self, outcomes):
"""
Plots probability mass function
"""
# Outcome has number of heads for 100 different trails
# To get CDF we need to find cumulative sum
cdf_values = [0] * (self.num_coins + 1)
for head in range(self.num_coins + 1):
for i in range(len(outcomes)):
if outcomes[i] <= head:
cdf_values[head] += 1
plt.figure(facecolor=(1, 1, 1))
plt.title("CDF of a binomial distribution from flipping n coins")
plt.xlabel("Number of heads")
plt.ylabel("P(X<=k)")
plt.hist(cdf_values, color="green", cumulative=True)
c1 = Coins(2, 0.5)
outcome = c1.flip(100)
c1.viz_pmf(outcome)
c1.viz_cdf(outcome)
Joint Distributions
If X and Y are two discrete random variables, then the joint probability gives the probability for X=k1 and Y=K2 at the same time.
For example if
X is a random variable for number of letters in a word
Y is a random variable for number of vowels in a word
Then P(X=5;Y=2) gives the probability of finding 5 lettered words with two vowels. Whereas P(Y=1) is called marginal probability which gives probability of finding all words with atleast one vowel.
P(Y=1) = P(X=; Y=1)
class Poem:
def __init__(self, text=None):
if text is not None:
self.text = text
else:
self.text = """There are numerous strings in your lute,
let me add my own among them. Then when you smite your chords,
my heart will break its silence, and my life will be one with your song.
"""
poem_tokens = self.text.strip("\n")
poem_tokens = poem_tokens.split(" ")
self.total_words = len(poem_tokens)
vowels = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
self.letter_dict = dict()
for word in poem_tokens:
vowel_count = 0
for letter in word:
if letter in vowels:
vowel_count += 1
self.letter_dict[word] = {"len": len(word), "vc": vowel_count}
def joint_prob(self, x=3, y=1):
list_of_interest = []
if y < x:
for key, value in self.letter_dict.items():
length, vc = value["len"], value["vc"]
if (length == x) and (vc == y):
list_of_interest.append(key)
else:
raise ValueError("Expecting more vowels than letters")
jc_prob = len(list_of_interest) / self.total_words
print("Joint Probability is " + str(jc_prob))
print(list_of_interest)
def marg_prob_x(self, x=5):
loi = []
for key, value in self.letter_dict.items():
length, vc = value["len"], value["vc"]
if length == x:
loi.append(key)
mp = len(loi) / self.total_words
print("Marginal Probability of X is " + str(mp))
print(loi)
def marg_prob_y(self, y=5):
loi = []
for key, value in self.letter_dict.items():
length, vc = value["len"], value["vc"]
if vc == y:
loi.append(key)
mp = len(loi) / self.total_words
print("Marginal Probability of Y is " + str(mp))
print(loi)
p1 = Poem()
p1.joint_prob(3, 1)
p1.marg_prob_x(3)
p1.marg_prob_y(2)
Joint Probability is 0.10526315789473684
['add', 'own', 'its', 'and']
Marginal Probability of X is 0.18421052631578946
['are', 'add', 'own', 'you', 'its', 'and', 'one']
Marginal Probability of Y is 0.2894736842105263
['There', 'are', 'your', 'lute,', 'among', 'you', 'smite', 'heart', 'break', 'life', 'one']
Conditional Probability
If A and B are two events where P(B)>0, then the conditional probability for A to occur given B has occured or vice versa is given by
which means
Now we can relate probability of an event with conditional probability
| or in terms of marginal probability where P(A,B) is the joint probability given by $$P(A,B) = P(A | B)P(B)$$ |
Continous Random Variables
A random variable X is continous in a range if there exists a probability density function for any c <=d defined by
such that
1) f(X) >= 0
2)
f(X) is not probability, it is the desnity of probability, ie., “probability for unit mass”. So we need to integrate to get the probability
Gaussian or normal distribution is a continous distribution given by the probability density fucntion
We need to integrate this to get probability.
mu = 0
sigma = 1
x = np.random.normal(mu, sigma, 1000) # Sampling from gaussian distribution
plt.figure(facecolor=(1, 1, 1))
count, bins, ignored = plt.hist(x, 100, density=True, color="green")
c1 = Coins(1000, 0.5)
outcome = c1.flip(10000)
c1.viz_pmf(outcome)
Expected Value
Expected value of a random variable is defined as
If X is a random variable whose distribution is bernoulli with p
E(X) is a linear operation, so
If X is a random variable and h is a fuction of X then This is called change of variables.
E(X) or mean captures only the centeral tendency of a distribution. Variance is a measure of how much the probability mass is spread out around the mean.

The first night she spent in her attic was a thing Sara never forgot. During its passing she lived through a wild, unchildlike woe of which she never spoke to anyone about her. There was no one who would have understood. It was, indeed, well for her that as she lay awake in the darkness her mind was forcibly distracted, now and then, by the strangeness of her surroundings. It was, perhaps, well for her that she was reminded by her small body of material things. If this had not been so, the anguish of her young mind might have been too great for a child to bear. But, really, while the night was passing she scarcely knew that she had a body at all or remembered any other thing than one.
“My papa is dead!” she kept whispering to herself. “My papa is dead!”
It was not until long afterward that she realized that her bed had been so hard that she turned over and over in it to find a place to rest, that the darkness seemed more intense than any she had ever known, and that the wind howled over the roof among the chimneys like something which wailed aloud. Then there was something worse. This was certain scufflings and scratchings and squeakings in the walls and behind the skirting boards. She knew what they meant, because Becky had described them. They meant rats and mice who were either fighting with each other or playing together. Once or twice she even heard sharp-toed feet scurrying across the floor, and she remembered in those after days, when she recalled things, that when first she heard them she started up in bed and sat trembling, and when she lay down again covered her head with the bedclothes.
The change in her life did not come about gradually, but was made all at once.
“She must begin as she is to go on,” Miss Minchin said to Miss Amelia. “She must be taught at once what she is to expect.”
Mariette had left the house the next morning. The glimpse Sara caught of her sitting room, as she passed its open door, showed her that everything had been changed. Her ornaments and luxuries had been removed, and a bed had been placed in a corner to transform it into a new pupil’s bedroom.
When she went down to breakfast she saw that her seat at Miss Minchin’s side was occupied by Lavinia, and Miss Minchin spoke to her coldly.
“You will begin your new duties, Sara,” she said, “by taking your seat with the younger children at a smaller table. You must keep them quiet, and see that they behave well and do not waste their food. You ought to have been down earlier. Lottie has already upset her tea.”
That was the beginning, and from day to day the duties given to her were added to. She taught the younger children French and heard their other lessons, and these were the least of her labors. It was found that she could be made use of in numberless directions. She could be sent on errands at any time and in all weathers. She could be told to do things other people neglected. The cook and the housemaids took their tone from Miss Minchin, and rather enjoyed ordering about the “young one” who had been made so much fuss over for so long. They were not servants of the best class, and had neither good manners nor good tempers, and it was frequently convenient to have at hand someone on whom blame could be laid.
During the first month or two, Sara thought that her willingness to do things as well as she could, and her silence under reproof, might soften those who drove her so hard. In her proud little heart she wanted them to see that she was trying to earn her living and not accepting charity. But the time came when she saw that no one was softened at all; and the more willing she was to do as she was told, the more domineering and exacting careless housemaids became, and the more ready a scolding cook was to blame her.
If she had been older, Miss Minchin would have given her the bigger girls to teach and saved money by dismissing an instructress; but while she remained and looked like a child, she could be made more useful as a sort of little superior errand girl and maid of all work. An ordinary errand boy would not have been so clever and reliable. Sara could be trusted with difficult commissions and complicated messages. She could even go and pay bills, and she combined with this the ability to dust a room well and to set things in order.
Her own lessons became things of the past. She was taught nothing, and only after long and busy days spent in running here and there at everybody’s orders was she grudgingly allowed to go into the deserted schoolroom, with a pile of old books, and study alone at night.
“If I do not remind myself of the things I have learned, perhaps I may forget them,” she said to herself. “I am almost a scullery maid, and if I am a scullery maid who knows nothing, I shall be like poor Becky. I wonder if I could quite forget and begin to drop my H’S and not remember that Henry the Eighth had six wives.”
One of the most curious things in her new existence was her changed position among the pupils. Instead of being a sort of small royal personage among them, she no longer seemed to be one of their number at all. She was kept so constantly at work that she scarcely ever had an opportunity of speaking to any of them, and she could not avoid seeing that Miss Minchin preferred that she should live a life apart from that of the occupants of the schoolroom.
“I will not have her forming intimacies and talking to the other children,” that lady said. “Girls like a grievance, and if she begins to tell romantic stories about herself, she will become an ill-used heroine, and parents will be given a wrong impression. It is better that she should live a separate life—one suited to her circumstances. I am giving her a home, and that is more than she has any right to expect from me.”
Sara did not expect much, and was far too proud to try to continue to be intimate with girls who evidently felt rather awkward and uncertain about her. The fact was that Miss Minchin’s pupils were a set of dull, matter-of-fact young people. They were accustomed to being rich and comfortable, and as Sara’s frocks grew shorter and shabbier and queerer-looking, and it became an established fact that she wore shoes with holes in them and was sent out to buy groceries and carry them through the streets in a basket on her arm when the cook wanted them in a hurry, they felt rather as if, when they spoke to her, they were addressing an under servant.
“To think that she was the girl with the diamond mines, Lavinia commented. “She does look an object. And she’s queerer than ever. I never liked her much, but I can’t bear that way she has now of looking at people without speaking—just as if she was finding them out.”
“I am,” said Sara, promptly, when she heard of this. “That’s what I look at some people for. I like to know about them. I think them over afterward.”
The truth was that she had saved herself annoyance several times by keeping her eye on Lavinia, who was quite ready to make mischief, and would have been rather pleased to have made it for the ex-show pupil.
Sara never made any mischief herself, or interfered with anyone. She worked like a drudge; she tramped through the wet streets, carrying parcels and baskets; she labored with the childish inattention of the little ones’ French lessons; as she became shabbier and more forlorn-looking, she was told that she had better take her meals downstairs; she was treated as if she was nobody’s concern, and her heart grew proud and sore, but she never told anyone what she felt.
“Soldiers don’t complain,” she would say between her small, shut teeth, “I am not going to do it; I will pretend this is part of a war.”
But there were hours when her child heart might almost have broken with loneliness but for three people.
The first, it must be owned, was Becky—just Becky. Throughout all that first night spent in the garret, she had felt a vague comfort in knowing that on the other side of the wall in which the rats scuffled and squeaked there was another young human creature. And during the nights that followed the sense of comfort grew. They had little chance to speak to each other during the day. Each had her own tasks to perform, and any attempt at conversation would have been regarded as a tendency to loiter and lose time. “Don’t mind me, miss,” Becky whispered during the first morning, “if I don’t say nothin’ polite. Some un’d be down on us if I did. I means `please’ an’ `thank you’ an’ `beg pardon,’ but I dassn’t to take time to say it.”
But before daybreak she used to slip into Sara’s attic and button her dress and give her such help as she required before she went downstairs to light the kitchen fire. And when night came Sara always heard the humble knock at her door which meant that her handmaid was ready to help her again if she was needed. During the first weeks of her grief Sara felt as if she were too stupefied to talk, so it happened that some time passed before they saw each other much or exchanged visits. Becky’s heart told her that it was best that people in trouble should be left alone.
The second of the trio of comforters was Ermengarde, but odd things happened before Ermengarde found her place.
When Sara’s mind seemed to awaken again to the life about her, she realized that she had forgotten that an Ermengarde lived in the world. The two had always been friends, but Sara had felt as if she were years the older. It could not be contested that Ermengarde was as dull as she was affectionate. She clung to Sara in a simple, helpless way; she brought her lessons to her that she might be helped; she listened to her every word and besieged her with requests for stories. But she had nothing interesting to say herself, and she loathed books of every description. She was, in fact, not a person one would remember when one was caught in the storm of a great trouble, and Sara forgot her.
It had been all the easier to forget her because she had been suddenly called home for a few weeks. When she came back she did not see Sara for a day or two, and when she met her for the first time she encountered her coming down a corridor with her arms full of garments which were to be taken downstairs to be mended. Sara herself had already been taught to mend them. She looked pale and unlike herself, and she was attired in the queer, outgrown frock whose shortness showed so much thin black leg.
Ermengarde was too slow a girl to be equal to such a situation. She could not think of anything to say. She knew what had happened, but, somehow, she had never imagined Sara could look like this—so odd and poor and almost like a servant. It made her quite miserable, and she could do nothing but break into a short hysterical laugh and exclaim—aimlessly and as if without any meaning, “Oh, Sara, is that you?”
“Yes,” answered Sara, and suddenly a strange thought passed through her mind and made her face flush. She held the pile of garments in her arms, and her chin rested upon the top of it to keep it steady. Something in the look of her straight-gazing eyes made Ermengarde lose her wits still more. She felt as if Sara had changed into a new kind of girl, and she had never known her before. Perhaps it was because she had suddenly grown poor and had to mend things and work like Becky.
“Oh,” she stammered. “How—how are you?”
“I don’t know,” Sara replied. “How are you?”
“I’m—I’m quite well,” said Ermengarde, overwhelmed with shyness. Then spasmodically she thought of something to say which seemed more intimate. “Are you—are you very unhappy?” she said in a rush.
Then Sara was guilty of an injustice. Just at that moment her torn heart swelled within her, and she felt that if anyone was as stupid as that, one had better get away from her.
“What do you think?” she said. “Do you think I am very happy?” And she marched past her without another word.
In course of time she realized that if her wretchedness had not made her forget things, she would have known that poor, dull Ermengarde was not to be blamed for her unready, awkward ways. She was always awkward, and the more she felt, the more stupid she was given to being.
But the sudden thought which had flashed upon her had made her over-sensitive.
“She is like the others,” she had thought. “She does not really want to talk to me. She knows no one does.”
So for several weeks a barrier stood between them. When they met by chance Sara looked the other way, and Ermengarde felt too stiff and embarrassed to speak. Sometimes they nodded to each other in passing, but there were times when they did not even exchange a greeting.
“If she would rather not talk to me,” Sara thought, “I will keep out of her way. Miss Minchin makes that easy enough.”
Miss Minchin made it so easy that at last they scarcely saw each other at all.  She used to sit in the window-seat, huddled in a heap, and stare out of the window without speaking. Once Jessie, who was passing, stopped to look at her curiously.
“What are you crying for, Ermengarde?” she asked.
“I’m not crying,” answered Ermengarde, in a muffled, unsteady voice.
“You are,” said Jessie. “A great big tear just rolled down the bridge of your nose and dropped off at the end of it. And there goes another.”
“Well,” said Ermengarde, “I’m miserable—and no one need interfere.” And she turned her plump back and took out her handkerchief and boldly hid her face in it.
That night, when Sara went to her attic, she was later than usual. She had been kept at work until after the hour at which the pupils went to bed, and after that she had gone to her lessons in the lonely schoolroom. When she reached the top of the stairs, she was surprised to see a glimmer of light coming from under the attic door.
“Nobody goes there but myself,” she thought quickly, “but someone has lighted a candle.”
Someone had, indeed, lighted a candle, and it was not burning in the kitchen candlestick she was expected to use, but in one of those belonging to the pupils’ bedrooms. The someone was sitting upon the battered footstool, and was dressed in her nightgown and wrapped up in a red shawl. It was Ermengarde.
“Ermengarde!” cried Sara. She was so startled that she was almost frightened. “You will get into trouble.”
Ermengarde stumbled up from her footstool. She shuffled across the attic in her bedroom slippers, which were too large for her. Her eyes and nose were pink with crying.
“I know I shall—if I’m found out.” she said. “But I don’t care—I don’t care a bit. Oh, Sara, please tell me. What is the matter? Why don’t you like me any more?”
Something in her voice made the familiar lump rise in Sara’s throat. It was so affectionate and simple—so like the old Ermengarde who had asked her to be “best friends.” It sounded as if she had not meant what she had seemed to mean during these past weeks.
“I do like you,” Sara answered. “I thought—you see, everything is different now. I thought you—were different.
Ermengarde opened her wet eyes wide.
“Why, it was you who were different!” she cried. “You didn’t want to talk to me. I didn’t know what to do. It was you who were different after I came back.”
Sara thought a moment. She saw she had made a mistake.
“I am different,” she explained, “though not in the way you think. Miss Minchin does not want me to talk to the girls. Most of them don’t want to talk to me. I thought—perhaps—you didn’t. So I tried to keep out of your way.”
“Oh, Sara,” Ermengarde almost wailed in her reproachful dismay. And then after one more look they rushed into each other’s arms.  When Ermengarde had seemed to desert her, she had felt horribly lonely.
Afterward they sat down upon the floor together, Sara clasping her knees with her arms, and Ermengarde rolled up in her shawl. Ermengarde looked at the odd, big-eyed little face adoringly.
“I couldn’t bear it any more,” she said. “I dare say you could live without me, Sara; but I couldn’t live without you. I was nearly dead. So tonight, when I was crying under the bedclothes, I thought all at once of creeping up here and just begging you to let us be friends again.”
“You are nicer than I am,” said Sara. “I was too proud to try and make friends. You see, now that trials have come, they have shown that I am not a nice child. I was afraid they would. Perhaps”—wrinkling her forehead wisely—”that is what they were sent for.”
“I don’t see any good in them,” said Ermengarde stoutly.
“Neither do I—to speak the truth,” admitted Sara, frankly. “But I suppose there might be good in things, even if we don’t see it. There might”—doubtfully—”Be good in Miss Minchin.”
Ermengarde looked round the attic with a rather fearsome curiosity.
“Sara,” she said, “do you think you can bear living here?”
Sara looked round also.

She spoke slowly. Her imagination was beginning to work for her. It had not worked for her at all since her troubles had come upon her. She had felt as if it had been stunned.
“Other people have lived in worse places. Think of the Count of Monte Cristo in the dungeons of the Chateau d’If. And think of the people in the Bastille!”
“The Bastille,” half whispered Ermengarde, watching her and beginning to be fascinated. She remembered stories of the French Revolution which Sara had been able to fix in her mind by her dramatic relation of them. No one but Sara could have done it.
A well-known glow came into Sara’s eyes.
“Yes,” she said, hugging her knees, “that will be a good place to pretend about. I am a prisoner in the Bastille. I have been here for years and years—and years; and everybody has forgotten about me. Miss Minchin is the jailer—and Becky”—a sudden light adding itself to the glow in her eyes—”Becky is the prisoner in the next cell.”
She turned to Ermengarde, looking quite like the old Sara.
“I shall pretend that,” she said; “and it will be a great comfort.”
Ermengarde was at once enraptured and awed.
“And will you tell me all about it?” she said. “May I creep up here at night, whenever it is safe, and hear the things you have made up in the day? It will seem as if we were more `best friends’ than ever.”
“Yes,” answered Sara, nodding. “Adversity tries people, and mine has tried you and proved how nice you are.”

For Trillian users who is subscribed to Pro version, one of the most selling point is the ability of your conversation and chat history to be able to be saved on the cloud. There is are some occasional confusion though with this since there are some instances wherein the conversation is not being saved.
One common mistake in here is the failure to set the "Also backup my history online" checkbox in the preferences window.
By default, Trillian will save your conversations in your local disk and will just save it online when you set this settings. That is for users who are using the PC client software installed. When you are using the web-based chat client, it is automatically save on the cloud of course.
Another common confusion is about accessing the history. Most of us thinks it will happen in real time. Like for example, when I had a convo in my laptop then I opened my Trillian client in my PC, I expect it to be there already. Well, based on my experience, it is not real-time, it takes time to propagate it and history data is also just downloaded when you tried accessing that history for that particular contacts -- they are not downloaded upon signing in to your account.

WGN and ABC7 are able to negotiate with any local station within the Cubs market. It doesn't have to be an ABC or CW station. In previous seasons those games that WGN did on WCIU were also carried on a network of local stations. For example, they were on a MY TV station in South Bend. Independent or similar stations that don't have a rigid prime time schedule are much easier to work with because preempting old reruns, etc. for sports is not a problem. - id: 16788 author: DarrellBirkey author_email: '' author_url: '' date: '2015-01-22 15:45:13 +0000' date_gmt: '2015-01-22 21:45:13 +0000' content: |- Also the use of out of market is a bit confusing because in MLB terms it means fans that live outside the Cubs MLB market. You are actually meaning those who live in the Cubs MLB market, but live to far away to pick up the over the broadcasts from Chicago. Out of market fans like me in Denver have no problem getting the games on MLB.TV or MLB extra innings. ---
As we get closer to the most interesting Cubs season in recent years, the tv broadcasts of the games is still up in the air. We have discussed this several times over the last few months on The Ivy Envy Podcast. Listen to Episode 6.53 of the podcast for the run-down.
Here's what we know:
Here's what we heard from the Ricketts Family and Crane Kenney at Cubs Convention:
The Cubs are looking to syndicate games outside the Chicago local market.
This is something we talked about on Episode 6.53 of our podcast. The WLS-7 games could be syndicated to your local ABC affiliate, most likely (though not necessarily) through their digital subchannels. The WGN-9 games could be syndicated to your local CW affiliate (or a station/network owned by the same media partnership).
On Episode 6.53, I said that I have talked with one ABC affiliate in Illinois and outside the Chicago viewing area and they are "in negotiations" to carry Cubs tv broadcasts in 2015. They did not specify if they were negotiating for just the WLS-7 games or all non CSN Chicago games.
If you live outside of Chicago, I would suggest emailing or calling the station manager or programming director of your local affiliates. It sounds like the Cubs may be initiating some of these discussions with affiliates, but it would not hurt to let your local affiliates know that you'd like to have access to these games in 2015.
By the way, if you live in Indiana, DeRose has started a Facebook group called "Let Indiana Watch the Chicago Cubs!" If you live in Indiana, join that group for updates on local affiliates.
If negotiations with affiliates are unsuccessful, the Cubs will ask MLB to lift the blackout in those affected markets.
If you live in the midwest, you're familiar with these blackouts restricting your ability to watch the Cubs on MLB.tv or MLB Extra Innings. If you're hoping this is what happens, I wouldn't hold your breath. I just can't see MLB changing this policy because of a team request. That would open up a huge can of worms and probably demolish the blackout policy. Which brings us to the next point.
The Cubs expect in-market streaming pretty soon.
This idea of the blackout policy going away was mentioned in the Bloggers Forum with Crane Kenney that I attended. At the Bloggers Forum, Kenney stated that he believes the blackout policy will be gone by the time the Cubs are ready to ink their next tv deal, which will be after the 2019 season.
Media is changing and content delivery is changing. At Cubs Convention, Tom Ricketts said that this issue is something that he and Crane Kenney bring to the table at MLB ownership meetings. I would love to see the blackout policy done away with so that fans can watch the Cubs and other MLB teams how they want, where they want on the device they want.
Since we are in the midwest but outside of Chicago, we will keep you updated on this situation through the blog and the podcast. I'm optimistic that, for most of us, things are going to work out.

Pair programming has done so much to enrich my experience at Dev Bootcamp. I've bonded with my colleagues, learned from their experience and perspectives, and grown into a more empathetic programmer. But pair programming has an inevitable experience: conflict. Although we try to be accommodating and open-minded to avoid conflict, it's an inexorable part of working with others. One must accept this and learn to resolve conflict in the most prudent manner. Let me give you an experience of my own
It was part of a challenge for phase 0 at DBC. We were tasked with writing a method that took two parameters: an array of integers and strings, and a number. This method was to add the value of this number to each of the integers in the array. After pondering the challenge, I wrote the following.
def my_array_modification_method!(arr, num)
  arr.map! {|x| x.is_a?(Integer) ? x + num : x}
end
"Beautiful!" I thought. Short and sweet. One line for one job. What a pretty solution! I was reaping the benefits of a high-level language–short but highly expressive code. But my euphoria was short-lived.
"It's not readable at all," said my partner. "I hate the ternary operator, it's so confusing... Why don't we just write it out as an if/elsif statement? It's longer but it's much clearer." I felt as if my sand castle was getting kicked over. It was heartbreaking to have my art get rejected. A debate ensued. I felt frustrated because my partner didn't appreciate my work. But that wasn't the heart of the conflict. After some introspection, I realized I was scared. My ideas about what constitutes "good code" was being challenged. I held brevity in very high regard. Was I wrong to strive for this? I thought my solution was still very readable. If we were going to get through this challenge, I needed to know if I was set down the wrong path. It was stressful to think that my very way of benchmarking code may need to be reevaluated.
We decided to take our dilemma to office hours to get the input of an experienced programmer. She explained that both are valid solutions. As new programmers, it's good to use the fundamentals like if/elsif statements. Indeed, shorter is not always better, like when it robs the code of its readability. But she when on to say that this was a very reasonable use of the ternary operator. The code was readable and desirably short. She recommended that we use the shorter version to submit for the refactored solution.
In this situation, it came down to a disagreement about the criteria of good code. Rather than arguing about this challenge and going in circles, it's better to try to identify the fundamental reason for the conflict, and find an unbiased way to resolve it. In this case, asking a professional was beneficial for both of us.

This is place for food lover
Food brings happiness
Let's go for a whole new adventure
Every place hide best experience
Public interest in food has been steadily increasing, ultimately transforming food tourism into the new global trend, even more so fueled by countless unique food experiences posted on social media sites. Unlike common tourism, food tourism focuses on culinary experience—food and drink that are locally sourced, rather than mere sightseeing. According to the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance (OCTA), culinary tourism refers to “any tourism experience in which one learns about, appreciates, and/or consumes food and drink that reflects the local, regional, or national cuisine, heritage, culture, tradition or culinary techniques”. The concept suggests people pursue a memorable food or drink experience by developing a better understanding and/or consuming local food or drink with the essence of culture in them. It is considered first-hand cultural experience and it is on top of the tourist attraction list.
As food tourism is a growing tourist attraction, hotels and tour agencies can promote certain cuisines at certain countries by organizing regular tours focusing on cuisine. For instance, Four Seasons Hotel in Hangzhou, China, runs a private dinner and tour where tourists will be taken to the local food market where they can enjoy authentic Shanghainese and Cantonese cuisine. Social media plays a role in driving the interest and enthusiasm in food experiences. Hence food tourism is massively popular among millennials, who share their food experiences on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. It is possible for marketers to acquire additional promotion through organizing events, such as market feast or beer festivals, and encouraging millennials to share the experiences on social media. Furthermore, a recent study by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) involving the UNWTO Affiliate Members working in different sectors, shows that food events are the most popular tourism product, followed by cooking class and workshops, as well as food fairs highlighting local products. Similar study also reveals that organizing events is the most used marketing and promotion tool, followed by brochures and advertising.
As food is an integral part of cultural experience, some believed that food tourism plays an important role in promoting destination marketing. For the millennials, the internet is the main source of information as well as inspiration. Hotels and tour agencies can develop relevant content as part of their destination-marketing strategy. For instance, Australia has their own Instagram page focusing on all things local and featuring tourist attractions and culinary hotspots. Hence tourists are able to plan thoroughly—which places to visit and what food or drink to try. To conclude, culinary experience is becoming more and more a focus for traveling. As a new trend with a high amount of interest among the millennials, there are quite a number of digital marketing trends that hotels, restaurants, and tour agencies need to catch up to, focusing on content strategy and development. Moreover, some believed that dining is not the ‘final destination’ for food tourists, rather, it is learning about where the food comes from and how it was produced—is the future of food tourism. This means that there is an increasing request for a memorable cooking experience, and it is crucial for hotels and tour agencies to expand their culinary tourism choices in order to meet their customers’ demands and provide quality food tourism experiences.
