Hong Kong cinema has been going through a bad spell. The last few productions have been effect laded action adventures that combine both the best and worst of American filmmaking with the same qualities of Hong Kong films. In a nutshell, the current crop of films from Hong Kong has been maddeningly convoluted and visually sumptuous. With the one time British colony reverting back to Mainland ownership, a lot of Hong Kong's best talents have crossed the pacific to work on U.S. productions. Such talents as Jackie Chan (Rush Hour), Chow Yun-Fat (Anna & the King, The Corrupter) and Yuen Woo-Ping (The Matrix) have all moved into the budget bloated world of Hollywood filmmaking with mixed results. Now we can add two other Hong Kong filmmakers to the mix with star Jet Li and Director and Fight choreographer Corey Yuen Kwai. Unfortunately "Romeo Must Die" bears all the trademarks of a typical Hollywood action film and none of Hong Kong's rhythms.
The film opens in a nightclub as an Asian Couple is necking. Enter a group of Chinese gangsters led by Kai Sing (Russell Wong). Kai confronts Po Sing (Jon Kit Lee), the son of Kai's boss and leader of the local Chinese family. A battle breaks out between the bodyguards of the club and Kai, who handily kicks and punches his opponents down. It's not until club owner Silk (rapper DMX), bears down on Kai and his henchmen that the fight ends.
The following morning Po Sing is found dead. Suspicions escalate, as Issac O'Day (Delroy Lindo) is told of the murder. His concern that the war between his and the Chinese family may explode and ruin his plans to move out of the business of corruption and into a legitimate venture. Issac implores his chief of security, Mac (Issiah Washington) to watch after his son and daughter.
The scene shifts to a prison in China, where Han Sing (Jet Li) learns of his brothers murder. He fights with the guards and is dragged off to be disciplined. Hung upside down by one foot, Han recovers and battle his way out of custody in a blistering display of fight choreography and stunt work. Escaping to the U.S. Han sets out to find the person responsible for his brother's death.
"Romeo Must Die" is in many ways a fun film. It is both absurd and assured. The basic plot of a gangster wanting to become legitimate echoes "The Godfather". The relationship between Jet Li's Han and Aaliyah's Trish O'Day reminds us of Abel Ferrera's "China Girl", except that Romeo Must Die's couple never once exchange more than a loving glance towards one another. Their romance is much more puritanical than any other romance in film history. The performances are adequate if not fully acceptable. Li, of course has the showiest part, having to express both an innocents and steadfast determination. Allayah, in her feature film debut manages to carry what little is asked of her with a certain style and grace. It's obvious that the camera loves her and she is very photogenic. But, still the part is under written in such a way that even a poor performance would not have affected it. Delro Lindo as Issac O'day carries himself well in the film. An unsung and under appreciated actor, Mr. Lindo turns out the films best performance. The other performers are all adequate in what the script asks of them except for D. B. Woodside as Issac's son, Colin. The performance is undirected, with the character changing his tone and demeanor in accordance with whatever location he is in. An unfocused performance that should have been reigned in and / or better written.
First time director Andrzej Bartkowiak does a workmanlike job in handling the film. Having a career as one of the industry's best cinematographers, Bartkiwiak knows how to set up his shots, and "Romeo Must Die" does look good. But the pacing of the film is lethargic, only coming to a semblance of life during the fight scenes. The script by Eric Bernt and John Jarrell is not focused in such a way that we can care about the characters or the situations they are in. The big gambit of buying up waterfront property to facilitate the building of a sports center for a NFL team is needlessly confusing. And of course the common practice of one character being the comic relief of the film becomes painfully obvious here as Anthony Anderson as Allayah's bodyguard, Maurice has no comic timing whatsoever.
The best things about the film are its fight scenes. Jet Li is a master of these intricate physical battles. One needs only to see his film "Fist of Legend" to understand that the man is without peer in the realm of Martial Art combat. Here, Jet is given the opportunity to show off in a way that "Lethal Weapon 4" (Jet's U.S. debut) didn't allow. Unfortunately, a lot of Jet's fights are aided with computer effects that detract from his ability and precision. Also "Romeo Must Die" must be noted as having the most singularly useless effect ever committed to film, and that is an x-ray effect that appears three times during the course of the film, showing the effect of bone crushing blows on an opponent. Obviously a homage to the famed x-ray scene from Sonny Chiba's "Streetfighter", the scenes here are just pointless and interfere with the pacing of the film. It's as if the film has stopped and a video game has been inserted.
One problem though about the fight scenes. Those that are familiar with Hong Kong action know that even though the films are fantasies and are as removed from reality as any anime or cartoon. They do have an internal rhythm to them. A heartbeat, so to speak in their choreography. The fight scenes in a Hong Kong film breath with an emotional resonance. This is created by the performance, the direction and the editing. Here in "Romeo Must Die", there is no staccato. Every fight scene, even though technically adroit and amazing becomes boring as the editing both cuts away from battle at hand and simple follows a set pattern. The rhythm is monotonous. A Hong Kong film has a tempo that changes, heightening its emotional impact. 'RMD' is limited to a standard 4/4 tempo, not allowing for any emotional content whatsoever.
A fine example of this difference can be found by examining a couple of Jackie Chan's films.. watch the restaurant fight from the film "Rush Hour" and notice that the context of the fight, while technically amazing is rather flat (the framing and cut always do not help). Now look at the warehouse fight from "Rumble in the Bronx". There you have a heartbeat, and emotional draw that doesn't let the audience catch its breath. The stops and pauses for dramatic effect work perfectly, causing the viewer to be both astounded and flabbergasted. Here in 'Romeo Must Die', the fight scenes have no more emotional content or character than any John Wayne barroom brawl.
Jet Li is a grand and personable screen presence. it's a shame that his full talents were not used to full effect here. One day filmmakers here in the U.S. will stop making films by the numbers and start to embrace the style and emotion that has made Hong Kong action pictures such a commodity. Until then, we'll be left with emotionally hollow product like "The Replacement Killer" and, currently "Romeo Must Die".

Potassium Zinc Sulfate
Potassium twin of ammonium zinc sulfate, visually indistinguishable from it. I suspect that precise measurement could reveal some subtle differences in angles between faces, but for the naked eye these compounds look the same. Similarly, baking soda can be used to improve crystal quality (see "Growing" section).
Properties
- Crystal system: monoclinic
- Stability on air: stable.
Preparation
Prepare compound by dissolving equimolar amounts of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4·7H2O) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) in hot water, then crystallize.
Zinc sulfate can be prepared by dissolving in sulfuric acid metallic zinc:
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2(g)
or, preferably, zinc oxide (ZnO), used as white pigment:
ZnO + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2O
The second reaction is preferable because it does not produce gas.
Potassium sulfate is a common fertilizer. However, fertilizer-grade K2SO4 often contains significant amount of potash K2CO3. This can be fixed by adding sulfuric acid in small amounts, until fizzing stops.
Growing
As always, I used slow evapoartion method for growing. Solubility of this compound is significantly lower than of pure zinc sulfate.
Similarly to the ammonium analog, there is a secret in making extremely transparent crystals.
After preparing solution, add small amount of baking soda NaHCO3 to it. I used 1g of soda per 100ml of saturated solution. Stir the solution; soon, reaction starts that produces gas (CO2) and some white sediment (ZnCO3):
ZnSO4 + 2NaHCO3 → ZnCO3 + Na2SO4 + CO2
Let the solution stay undisturbed for a day (it is needed for completing reaction and forming sediment), filter it and use for growing.
Crystals, grown from such solution, would be much clear.
Safety
Despite zinc is important for health, in large amounts zinc compounds are moderately toxic.


EAP Methods
FreeRADIUS was the first Open Source RADIUS server to support EAP. It has defined the standard for how RADIUS servers should manage EAP sessions. As of Version 2.0, it supports more EAP methods than any other RADIUS server, commercial or Open Source.
The following EAP methods are supported by FreeRADIUS 2.0 and later for wired, or for WiFi authentication.
Stable EAP Methods
The following EAP methods are considered "stable", and work with all versions of FreeRADIUS.
- EAP-GTC
- EAP-MD5-Challenge
- EAP-MSCHAPv2
- EAP-PEAPv0
- EAP-MSCHAPv2
- EAP-GPSK
- EAP-GTC
- EAP-MD5-Challenge
- EAP-TLS
- EAP-SIM

- EAP-TLS
- EAP-TTLS
- PAP
- CHAP
- MS-CHAP
- MS-CHAPv2
- EAP-MSCHAPv2
- EAP-MD5
- EAP-GTC
- EAP-TLS
Old EAP Methods
The following EAP methods are distributed with the server, but should not be used. They will likely be removed in a future version.
- EAP-IKEv2
Not compatible with RFC 5106.
- Cisco LEAP
This method is insecure.
- EAP-TNC
Uses an old version of libtnc, and has not been tested in years.
Version 2 EAP Methods
The following EAP methods are considered "experimental" in Version 2. They are implemented via the "eap2" module, by using the library libeap.so from hostapd.
The "eap2" module was removed with the release of version 3.0.0. It was experimental, and not well integrated with the rest of the server.

We aim at developing a systematic turnpike theory for evolution PDEs. Our preliminary results show that this not only depends on the model under consideration but also on the cost functional and control target, and that the fulfillment of the turnpike property requires the system under consideration to be controllable or stabilisable. The theory developed so far allows to handle, mostly, linear PDEs, but the problem is widely open in the nonlinear frame, where the existing results require smallness conditions on the objectives (probably of a purely technical nature), which restrict the scope of applications.

Student Robotics is powered by a collection of passionate individuals with varying skills from diverse backgrounds. If you're passionate about helping us achieve our goal, and you're willing to get stuck in, we have a place for you.
Throughout the year, teams work to develop their robots. Mentors are on the front line with them. Working with one or two teams, mentors help teams keep teams on track, and help them find information they need to progress.
Kickstart, Tech Days, and the competition all depend on a small army of volunteers to run effectively. Whether it's shepherding teams, manning the helpdesk, running reception, or orchestrating the matches; we're always eager for more blueshirts.
Student Robotics relies heavily on an array of hardware and software. Aside from the kit which we lend to teams, there's plenty behind the scenes keeping things running, including this website! There's always room for more eyes to help us develop and maintain it all.


Analyse the WildFly management model using a graph database.
This site provides links to Neo4J databases containing the management model of the last three WildFly versions. The links at the bottom open the Neo4J browser for the given WildFly version.
By default the Neo4J browser tries to connect to an URL based on the host it was loaded from. However the model graph databases use different URLs. Follow these steps to connect to the database:
:server disconnect
to cancel the connection with the default URL:server connect
to bring up the connection formbolt://
URL in the host field (pay extra attention to include port 80)Once connected the Neo4J browser will show an introduction to the model graph database, describe the main nodes and provide sample queries. For more information, please see the project's README.

We are pleased to announce that the 4th International Conference on Mining, Material, and Metallurgical Engineering (MMME'17) will be held in Italy, Rome on June 8 - 10, 2017 at the Barceló Aran Mantegna.
The Barceló Aran Mantegna is located in EUR-Garbatella, Rome's business district, surrounded by green spaces and very close to the city's new exhibition centre, the Nuova Fiera di Roma. The hotel's location ensures that it is always peaceful, but it is also well-connected to the city centre and Fiumicino and Ciampino international airports. There is a bus stop nearby which links the hotel to the centre of Rome, as well as all kinds of shops, banks, restaurants, and cafés.
For more information on the Barceló Aran Mantegna, please visit:
Rome, Italy’s capital, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture and culture on display. Ancient ruins such as the Forum and the Colosseum evoke the power of the former Roman Empire. Vatican City, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, has St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, which house masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes.
Rome can be reached very easily via its airports (Leonardo da Vinci and Ciampino), by rail (the two large stations, Termini and Tiburtina), and even by sea (the ports of Ostia, Fiumicino and Civitavecchia).
For more information on Rome, please visit Turismoroma, the city’s tourist portal.

Comparing Ruby and JavaScript
JavaScript and Ruby can have similar behaviors. One example of this is Ruby Hashes vs. JavaScript Objects. The syntax is somewhat similar.
Here is an example of a Hash in Ruby.
myhash = { key1: "value_1", key2: "value_2", key3: "value_3"} myhash[:key1] => value_1
Notice that the has contains key value pairs.
Each key (key1, key2, key3) is assigned a value (value_1, value_2, value_3). When you call on the key, it will access it's value.
Pretty cool, right? It's like when you look up a word in a dictionary (the word is the key in this case) to find it's definition (the definition would be the value).
In JavaScript objects behave similar to hashes.
Here is an object in JavaScript
var myObject = { thing1:"description_of_thing1", thing2:"description_of_thing2", thing3:"description_of_thing3" } console.log(myObject.thing2) => description_of_thing2
Notice again, the key value pairing we have here. Thing1 acts as a like a key that holds the value description_of_thing1. If you want the description of thing2, that's easy to find just lookup myObject.thing2.
Hashes and Objects definitely make life easier when you are keeping track of multiple items and want to be able to find them quickly, even though the syntax looks the same there are some small differences in how you call the search for the keys and values in Ruby and JavaScript.

Standards and Testing Agency
Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>National curriculum assessments helpline 0300 303 3013
For general enquiries about national curriculum tests.
Guidance
Instructions for local authority monitoring visits co-ordinators, responsible for arranging monitoring visits.
This guidance explains how local authorities ( LAs ) should organise monitoring visits to schools administering the 2016 key stage 2 ( KS2 ) national curriculum tests and the phonics screening check.
LAs have a statutory responsibility to monitor the administration of the KS2 national curriculum tests and phonics screening check. Monitoring visits help us to ensure that:
This year, when monitoring the administration of the KS2 tests, local authority monitoring visitors will also be asked to review the security of key stage 1 ( KS1 ) test materials, where applicable. They are not expected to observe the actual administration of the KS1 tests.
Monitoring visits also give headteachers a formal opportunity to demonstrate how their school is administering the KS2 tests and phonics screening check and maintaining the security of the KS1 test materials.
Academies have been asked to choose whether to be monitored by their current LA , another LA or the Standards and Testing Agency ( STA ).
Independent schools and academies that have chosen not to be monitored by an LA will be monitored by a monitoring visits agency on our behalf.
STA may also make monitoring visits to maintained schools.
References to academies in this guidance include free schools, as in law they are recognised as academies.
We recommend that each LA gives responsibility to 1 person to act as their monitoring visits co-ordinator. The monitoring visits co-ordinator should:
Before any monitoring visits take place, you may want to contact all schools within your authority to explain the purpose of the visits. You may give the names of individuals involved in the visits, but you must not identify in advance any specific schools that will be visited.
You should make schools aware of this information and the guidance for key stage 2 and the phonics screening check . This is so that schools know what to expect if they receive a monitoring visit.
If schools receive a visit and wish to confirm the identity of their visitor(s) they should contact you, for LA visitors, or the national curriculum assessments helpline if the visitor is a member of STA ’s staff.
Independent schools can also contact the national curriculum assessments helpline if they wish to confirm the identity of a visitor from our monitoring visits agency.
At least 10% of maintained schools administering the tests in your authority must receive a visit. This includes:
We will give you details of the schools which we want you to visit in early April.
You should not arrange for more than 1 visit to an individual school unless we have raised specific concerns with you.
We recommend that approximately:
At least 10% of schools administering the phonics screening check in your authority must receive a visit. This includes:
You should not arrange for more than 1 visit to an individual school unless we have raised specific concerns with you.
We recommend that approximately:
You are responsible for making sure your LA ’s monitoring visitors:
You should brief them fully before they carry out any visits.
KS2 monitoring visitors should understand the guidance on carrying out KS2 monitoring visits . This explains what they need to do before, during and after a monitoring visit.
They must be familiar with the 2016 test administration guidance, in particular the:
Before each monitoring visit you must give your monitoring visitors:
In April we will email your NCA tools super user a spreadsheet which summarises the materials which each school has received. Please note: you will need your registered email address and password to access the NCA tools website .
Phonics screening check monitoring visitors should understand the guidance on carrying out phonics screening check monitoring visits . This explains what they need to do before, during and after a monitoring visit.
They must be familiar with the 2016 check administration guidance, in particular the:
Before each monitoring visit you must give your monitoring visitors:
You should review the data submitted by schools in 2015 in order to identify pupils in year 2 who should be taking the check. In May we will email your NCA tools super user a spreadsheet which summarises the materials which each school has received.
There are separate forms for key stage 2 and phonics screening check monitoring visits.
Make sure that your monitoring visitors understand that they must complete all the questions for each school they visit. If an ‘X’, ‘N’ or ‘P’ is entered on the monitoring visit form, or any other irregularities are noticed during the visit, you must record details of the issue and any actions taken on the form. This will help us identify instances where further investigation by you and / or STA is required.
If a monitoring visitor has placed an ‘X’, ‘N’ or ‘P’ in any box on the monitoring visit form, they should discuss the issue with you immediately. You should then scan and email the monitoring visit form and any annotated delivery notes (where applicable) to STA at STA<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Our maladministration team will follow up all instances where a monitoring visitor records an ‘X’, ‘N’ or ‘P’ on a monitoring visit form. If we investigate an allegation of maladministration and have doubts about whether a pupil’s answers represent their own independent and unaided work, test or phonics screening check results may be amended or annulled.
If no irregularities were identified during the visit, monitoring visitors must send their completed forms to you by the following dates:
You must send all completed forms, including those already emailed to STA , to:
STA
’s monitoring visits agency
Quality & Customers Standards Unit
AQA
Stag Hill House
Guildford
Surrey, GU2 7XJ
The deadlines for sending forms to our monitoring visits agency are:
You don’t need to send delivery notes to our monitoring visits agency unless there are issues of concern noted on the monitoring visit form.
You should consider keeping copies of completed monitoring visit forms for your own reference.

Sticking with the theme of the official compatibility library, ActionBarSherlock aims to allow the use of the action bar design pattern by mimicking the experience that would be found natively on Android Ice Cream Sandwich with as little effort as required.
Due to its use of the native action bar and its related classes on Ice Cream Sandwich, the library requires that both it and your project are compiled with Android 4.0 or newer. The project also requires that you are compiling with JDK 1.6 in both your editor and any build systems that you may be using.
Since the library is an extension of the official support library you
must also have the
android-support-v4.jar
referenced by your project.
There are a few ways to leverage ActionBarSherlock in your projects:
If you’re using the Eclipse
Development Environment with the ADT
plugin version 0.9.7 or greater you can include ActionBarSherlock
as a library project. Create a new Android project in Eclipse using
the
actionbarsherlock/
folder as the existing source. Then, in your project properties,
add the created project under the ‘Libraries’ section of the
‘Android’ category.
If you use
ant
to compile from the command line you will need to run
android update project -p .
inside the
actionbarsherlock/
folder of the project. Once completed, you can reference the
actionbarsherlock/
folder of ActionBarSherlock from your application's
project.properties
file. For more information please see the Android
developer guide for referencing library projects.
If you use maven to build your Android project you can simply add a dependency for this library.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.actionbarsherlock</groupId>
<artifactId>actionbarsherlock</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>
When creating an activity to use the action bar on all versions of
Android, you must declare your activity to extend any of the activity
classes that start with 'Sherlock' (e.g.,
SherlockActivity
,
SherlockFragmentActivity
). Interaction with the action bar is handled by calling
getSupportActionBar()
(instead of getActionBar()
).
The API exposed by the
ActionBar
instance is an exact duplicate of that
which the native method exposes. Refer to its documentation as well
as the articles on how to utilize its functionality in the
"Related Links" section.
NOTE: When using
SherlockFragmentActivity
there are also 'Sherlock'-prefixed fragment classes which you should
use to ensure proper functionality (e.g.
SherlockFragment
,
SherlockListFragment
). The activity will still function with the normal fragment classes
but you will not be able to use any of the menu-related methods.
Since the action bar widget is very complex it requires a set of default themes. The library provides three core themes—one of which must be applied to each activity on which you want the action bar present.
See the theming page for more information.
In order to provide functionality that was not available on version of Android prior to 3.0, the library includes and uses a lot of classes that are named the same as their native counterparts. The three most common are:
com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar
com.actionbarsherlock.view.Menu
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuItem
com.actionbarsherlock.view.MenuInflater
It is important to ensure that you are using these types where appropriate since they contain the additional functionality required to support the action bar.
NOTE: The majority of errors regarding the
@Override
-ing of methods from the activities are a result of using the
incorrect imports. All of the classes which exist in the
com.actionbarsherlock.*
package whose names match that of a native class extend from that
native class and as such can be used in their place.
NOTE: In order to inflate your menu from XML you
should call
getSupportMenuInflater()
in your activities. The fragment callbacks will already have an
instance of the inflater as an argument.
This library was meant to be as behind-the-scenes as possible and require a minimal amount of changes to support. The core usage of the action bar itself is no different than if you were interacting with the native action bar.
Be sure to also visit the following pages:
The following links are useful information on how to operate the native action bar. Other than the small tweaks mentioned on this page, the entire API is exactly the same.
getSupportActionBar()
exposes.

Hi, I'm an application security engineer, hiker, tabletop gamer, etc.
Life
and our cat Dusty.
Values
Fun
-
While I like getting paid, I try to have fun doing it.
Craft
-
I enjoy creating software that reduces friction for users. My aim is less confusion and unnecessary actions. I also thoughtfully tend to the health of the code underneath. My goal is to give future developers (myself included) the feeling that someone cared about this code enough to make it navigable, understandable, and change-able.
Responsiveness
-
Humans are always my top priority at work, so I try to start answering questions and reviewing people's code immediately, rather than leaving them hanging. I aim to be effective rather than quick, so I work to provide responses with low ambiguity and avoid putting "Looks good to me"-style responses on non-trivial pull requests. Even if I'm busy, I try to not get in the "I'm too busy to help this person" mindset.

The first big Guerilla Showrunner project is now up and available, and I’m thinking a lot of Machinima people will find it interesting. In short, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes a series project fun, and the answer that came back was - fans. Active fans who comment on the show, tell you they like it, and tell their friends about it. Too often we end up with thousands of casual viewers whom we only know as numbers on a YouTube page, and not as many interested, involved viewers as we’d like.
So it’s the Day of Announcements here at Machinima for Dummies Towers. Guerilla Showrunner! I’ve been working on a new project - yes, in addition to the mammoth task that is Death Knight Love Story. For a while now I’ve been feeling I want to do a bit more talking about all the various tips and tricks I’ve learned over more than a decade of making shows. And I’m not just talking about Machinima shows here, but also live-action stuff like Kamikaze Cookery.
A quick announcement, in the spirit of full disclosure: as of January 2011, I am no longer employed by Moviestorm Ltd. I know we’ve been pretty quiet on this blog recently. Sorry about that. Both Hugh and I have been pretty busy, and the blog has been drowned in spam, but we’ve got some exciting changes planned. I’ll let Hugh tell you more about that in the next post.
In what must be one of the most potentially exciting developments for independent machinima creators in a long time, we’ve just heard that Winch Gate Properties Ltd., the creators of the online MMORPG Ryzom, will be releasing the entire game as an open-source project. It sounds like the developers are keen to work with the community, and will be accepting the best 3rd-party developments into the main Ryzom codebase. Projects already underway include ports of the game to both Mac OSX and Linux.
As promised last year, Moviestorm have now announced lifetime subscriptions, for f Â£149.99 / â‚¬199.99 / $249.99 . Good stuff. Now, we’re just waiting for that end-of-life policy…
Damn those guys at Moviestorm. They’re the only software company doing really interesting things with Machinima right now (the Second Life pro-Machinima EULA change nonwithstanding - I’ll be writing about that later - and iClone people, if you have interesting news, please send it to us!), and so we at MfD have to keep writing our big “yes, we’ve both done work for them, Johnnie’s their product manager, but Hugh’s writing this as an independent outsider” disclaimer.
It’s Ada Lovelace Day again and so, in a combination of genuinely heartfelt celebration and bare-faced self-promotion, here’s a link to our article from this time last year, Women Who Have Changed Machinima. If anything, women have become even more prominent in Machinima and Anymation over the past twelve months. It’s particularly obvious in the more abstract creative communities such as Moviestorm or IClone, but even the communities for supposedly male-oriented games have many prominent female bloggers, movie-makers and celebrity players.
Coming from the “Rise to Power” competition again (what is it with the official Blizzard Machinima competitions that bring out such amazing work? The same thing happened with the Machinima Film Festival), Slashdance’s latest effort didn’t win anything, but probably should have. I loved “Welcome to the Deadmines”, but this is its equal in its pure simplicity and emotion. Nearly all shot in-game, too. Love it.
It’s not very often these days that I get excited by a new graphical advance, but this one got me. Proper clothing! Proper hair! At last! (When it eventually turns up)

Nothing shows up the schizophrenia of the Indian mind in the face of
this challenge than that the two principal leaders of the national
struggle for independence Mahatma Gandhi and Mr. Nehru should have come
to contrary conclusions. The Mahatma was for an outright rejection of
the western civilization, which is often described as Satanic. Mr.
Nehru was for all-out industrialization. Both spoke from utter
conviction and were extremely articulate in stating their positions.
But neither of them thought it worth his while to grapple with the
troublesome details when it came to making the reality conform to the
vision.
The Mahatma was, of course, most meticulous about detail and when he
undertook a job, whether it was the spread of the spinning wheel,
revival of village industries or helping the Harijans, he did not
regard the smallest matter pertaining to the concerned organization or
an individual grievance beneath his personal attention. It was a
different story, however, with translating his larger vision of a
non-violent society into a blueprint.
He enunciated the general principal very forcefully. But such details
as the state structure the new society would build and the social
legislation it would undertake, the precise industrial policy it would
pursue or the defense policy it would opt for, he left alone or dealt
with in bits and pieces. Did he fear that his vision would suffer by
raising all these issues at one go? Or did he realize long before the
day of India�s tryst with destiny that he would not count on anyone
even among his closest colleagues in the Congress to back him?
Mr. Nehru was in a much better position to carry out his ideas. But the
very Constitution-making process became a formal exercise. There was no
attempt to think in terms of institutions, which while preserving the
substance of democracy, would contain populist pressures, make
government more business-like and more productive of results and make
for easy and cheap access to justice. All this is not to believe his
role in guiding the young republic in its formative years and setting
norms which none of the regimes that came after him were also to live
up to. But that does not detract from the processes of decline. The
proliferation of slums had begun, and small groups were already hogging
up the larger part of the gains of development. No concerted attempt
was made to close the loopholes in land laws and little was done to
make school education relevant to the needs of a developing society.
The language policy was left to flounder.
That the people still look back to the Nehru era with a sense of
nostalgia shows that even things which looked manageable in his days
are now out of control. Perhaps this is the result of a deterioration
in the quality of leadership, a distressing decline in the integrity of
political life and an alarming build-up of populist pressure. But it
also is the result of the way each government has been busy storing up
trouble for future. Can one be sure after all this that the foundations
on which the republic rests are durable enough?
What light does this throw on the Indian mind? The Indian mind delights
in ambiguity in ambivalence, in trying to have the best of both worlds,
in harboring a medley of conflicting ideas without much discomfort.
Whatever the public rhetoric, the practice is always based on half-
measures, of leaving things half done, of a refusal to anticipate
trouble and a tendency to wake up when the crisis has already matured,
this may be an exaggeration. But the slovenliness of approach to every
problem is a fact of life which hits in the eye even the most
sympathetic foreign observer.
It is not surprising that the Indian genius which excelled in
production myths, which created works of sculpture �which endow the
spirit with a body� and a music which enthralls the mind as well as
the spirit, was often at a loss in facing up to the problems of state
building. The Indian mind still falters as it tires to come to grips
with these problems.
Question 1
What is the main purpose of the writer behind writing this passage?
A)To bring out the contrast in Nehru�s and Gandhi�s dreams and vision of India.
B)To bring out the flaws in Indian democracy.
C)To trace the reasons behind the disordered state of India as one based on hollow foundation laid by leaders in the past.
D)To show the impact of Western Civilization on today�s India.
E)To bring out the past as a disordered and mismanaged government as a
result of improper implementation of the job undertaken by leaders.
Answer: C
Answer explanation: Option C is the right answer. The passage seeks to
find out the reason behind the present situation where no attention is
paid to issues that can turn into crisis if neglected. The writer comes
to the conclusion that the present state of affairs is a result of the
non-implementation of the larger visions held by Indian leaders into
practice. Option A is just mentioned in the passage to explain the
ideas held by Indian leaders. Options B and D are obviously wrong and
lie beyond the scope of the passage. Option E is a misinterpretation of
the passage. It does not deal with disorder in the past, but in the
present.
Question 2
What is the main idea expressed in the passage?
A)The passage expresses the vision and dreams of Indian leaders for a better future.
B)The passage expresses the shaping up of a disorganized state due to the constricted vision of our leaders.
C)The passage is an account of a successful democratic set up of the
Indian government as a result of the policies made by our leaders.
D)The passage explains how the Constitution was made and what clauses it included.
E)The passage gives an account of the mismanaged government due to the formulation of faulty laws.
Answer: B
Answer explanation: B is the correct answer since the passage deals
with how the present situation has resulted as a disorderly and
mismanaged state. The passage explains the visions of leaders being
neglected by them themselves and thus turning things out of control.
Option A has a narrow scope and just mentions the visions held by the
leaders. It does not mention anything about their implementation. C is
wrong since the writer does not give an account of success of policies,
but refers to the failures of the same. Option D is irrelevant and thus
obviously wrong. Option E seems to be a likely answer, but when you
compare it with option B, its scope is narrow. It does not mention the
lack of efforts in putting thoughts into practice.
Question 3
Provide a suitable title to the passage.
A)Leaders of the Freedom Struggle
B)Nehru�s and Gandhi�s Vision of India
C)History of Indian Democracy
D)Reflections of the Past in the Present India
E)Lack of Effective Leaders in India Today
Answer: D
Answer explanation: The writer discusses the present situation as a
result of the neglected and incomplete efforts done in the past by the
leaders. Thus we can say that D is the most suitable answer option. A
is obviously wrong since the passage does not deal with the leaders of
freedom struggle. Similarly C is wrong since the writer does not
explain what and how of Indian democracy. Option B is a part of the
passage. It does not comprise the whole passage and thus it is
rejected. Similarly option E also has a mention in the passage where
the writer hints at deterioration in the quality of leadership that has
resulted in the present situation. Thus it is not fit to be the title
of the passage.
Question 4
What are the writer�s feelings towards the subject of the passage?
A)The writer is not satisfied with the present situation of mismanagement.
B)The writer is comfortable with the medley of conflicting ideas present in today�s world.
C)The writer is nostalgic about the times when Nehru led India.
D)The writer is depressed because of lack of efforts on part of Indian leaders to implement their ideas into practice.
E)The writer is unaffected with the past or present.
Answer: A
Answer explanation: The option A is the best option. We find hints of
dissatisfaction of the writer with the disorderly situation and
careless attitude of people. He expresses this throughout the passage,
partly by holding Indian leaders responsible and partly by referring to
the approach of people as �slovenliness� towards the state of
affairs. The writer refers to people of India being comfortable with
the medley of conflicting ideas but does not share this feeling
himself. Thus we reject B. Similarly we reject C since the writer
mentions the nostalgic feelings, as people get sentimental about
Nehru�s era. However, this is not the feeling that comes out in the
passage as a whole. Option D refers to the feelings of the writer as
depressed, but there is no hint of the writer being depressed about the
lack of efforts. He is surely not happy and is concerned, but it cannot
be concluded that he is depressed. The option E is also rejected, since
we feel the writer�s emotions while reading the passage, thus we
cannot say that he is unaffected.
Question 5
What is the purpose of the writer behind mentioning Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru?
A)To give an example of effective leadership to today�s incompetent leaders.
B)To explain that they were incapable of putting their vision into practice which has resulted in the present situation.
C)To bring out a contrast in the thinking of the two leaders towards the industrialization.
D)To explain their policies and vision they held for all around development of India.
E)To explain that they had high dreams and vision for the country which could take India to a bright future.
Answer: B
Answer explanation: In the passage, the writer mentions Gandhi�s and
Nehru�s vision and refers to them while explaining a lack of efforts
in putting them into practice. The larger visions held by such leaders
were not put into action by them. Thus option B is the best choice. A
is wrong since the writer does not glorify their achievements. C is
rejected since the contrasting ideas of the leaders are mentioned just
to explain the principles held by them, but the writer intends to
explain more than that. Options D and E are rejected since the writer
does not give an account of their policies and dreams for the
development, rather he brings out the hollowness in the implementation
of these ideas.
Question 6
What is the writer�s interpretation of the way Indians have accepted the situations?
A)Indians are delighted with the excellent conditions present.
B)Indians are proud of the leaders of freedom struggle.
C)Indians are sentimental about the glorious past of Nehru�s times.
D)Indians are disappointed by non-implementation of the dreams of leaders into reality.
E)Indians have comfortably accepted the existing state of India along with its shortcomings and disorder.
Answer: E
Answer explanation: In the sixth paragraph, the writer goes on to
examine the Indian mind. He believes that the Indians have accepted the
present situation and are happy about the way things are moving,
regardless of their being moving or not. Thus option E is the best
answer choice. We reject A since it mentions the present situation as
�excellent�, but nowhere does the writer refer to the situation in
that sense. Option B is obviously wrong and is out of the scope of the
passage. Option C is rejected since it does not refer to the feelings
of Indians with respect to the present situation. D is also a wrong
answer since the writer does not show disappointment from the side of
Indians, but uses words like �delighted� to express their attitude.
Question 7
Which of the following lies beyond the scope of the passage?
A)Mahatma Gandhi favored the use of spinning wheel in place of western culture.
B)Mahatma Gandhi dealt with the formation of the structure of the state in bits and pieces.
C)The government did not make an effort to remove the deficiency in the laws of land.
D)Mahatma could not give personal attention to the revival of village
industries since he felt that his vision would not materialize as a
whole.
E)It is a custom in India to leave things incomplete till it becomes dangerous.
Answer: D
Answer explanation: We get a proof of option A in the first two
paragraphs of the passage, according to which Gandhi opposed the
western civilization and wanted to spread the spinning wheel. Thus
option A is rejected. Option B also lies well within the scope of the
passage since the writer says that Gandhi did not deal with such
details forcefully, but in bits and pieces. C is also mentioned in the
passage where the writer goes on to explain the process of decline due
to things like increase in slums, little attention given to school
education etc. Here the writer also mentions that no attempts were made
to close the loopholes existing in land laws. Thus C is rejected. E is
also mentioned in the end of passage where the writer refers to the
Indian mind, thus it is rejected. Option D is false since according to
the passage, Mahatma dealt with issues like revival of village
industries with most meticulous detail. He did not ignore it, but the
larger visions of structure of state as a whole. Hence we reject option
D on account of its being false or an untrue statement.
Question 8
Complete the following sentence according to your understanding of the passage.
According to the writer, the things are mismanaged today since_________
A)Indians do not have leaders like Gandhi and Nehru to control the situations leading to a disorderly state.
B)the population of India has increased manifold and enough attention cannot be paid to the grievances of all.
C)small groups are consuming the larger part of the gains of development.
D)the government did not form an easily accessible judiciary.
E)the government has been ignoring issues and piling up problems for the future.
Answer: E
Answer explanation: Option A is rejected since the writer does not
express the need of leaders like Gandhi to mend the situations. Option
B does not come under the scope of the passage and thus is rejected. C
is also false since it is only one of the reasons for the decline of
the system. Similarly D is rejected since it refers to one of the areas
which was not given due attention by the leaders. E is the best answer
option since it sums up the reasons behind the things being out of
order in today�s world. The writer mentions this in the fifth
paragraph as the government�s being busy storing up trouble for
future.
