project¶
Set the name of the project.
Synopsis¶
project(<PROJECT-NAME> [<language-name>...])
project(<PROJECT-NAME>
[VERSION <major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]]
[DESCRIPTION <project-description-string>]
[HOMEPAGE_URL <url-string>]
[LANGUAGES <language-name>...])
Sets the name of the project, and stores it in the variable
PROJECT_NAME
. When called from the top-level
CMakeLists.txt
also stores the project name in the
variable CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
.
Also sets the variables
Further variables are set by the optional arguments described in the following. If any of these arguments is not used, then the corresponding variables are set to the empty string.
Options¶
The options are:
VERSION <version>
Optional; may not be used unless policy
CMP0048
is set toNEW
.Takes a
<version>
argument composed of non-negative integer components, i.e.<major>[.<minor>[.<patch>[.<tweak>]]]
, and sets the variablesPROJECT_VERSION
,<PROJECT-NAME>_VERSION
PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR
,<PROJECT-NAME>_VERSION_MAJOR
PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR
,<PROJECT-NAME>_VERSION_MINOR
PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH
,<PROJECT-NAME>_VERSION_PATCH
PROJECT_VERSION_TWEAK
,<PROJECT-NAME>_VERSION_TWEAK
.
When the
project()
command is called from the top-levelCMakeLists.txt
, then the version is also stored in the variableCMAKE_PROJECT_VERSION
.DESCRIPTION <project-description-string>
Optional. Sets the variables
to
<project-description-string>
. It is recommended that this description is a relatively short string, usually no more than a few words.When the
project()
command is called from the top-levelCMakeLists.txt
, then the description is also stored in the variableCMAKE_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION
.HOMEPAGE_URL <url-string>
Optional. Sets the variables
to
<url-string>
, which should be the canonical home URL for the project.When the
project()
command is called from the top-levelCMakeLists.txt
, then the URL also is stored in the variableCMAKE_PROJECT_HOMEPAGE_URL
.LANGUAGES <language-name>...
Optional. Can also be specified without
LANGUAGES
keyword per the first, short signature.Selects which programming languages are needed to build the project. Supported languages include
C
,CXX
(i.e. C++),CUDA
,Fortran
, andASM
. By defaultC
andCXX
are enabled if no language options are given. Specify languageNONE
, or use theLANGUAGES
keyword and list no languages, to skip enabling any languages.If enabling
ASM
, list it last so that CMake can check whether compilers for other languages likeC
work for assembly too.
The variables set through the VERSION
, DESCRIPTION
and HOMEPAGE_URL
options are intended for use as default values in package metadata and documentation.
Code Injection¶
If the CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE
variable is set, the file
pointed to by that variable will be included as the first step of the
project()
command.
If the CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE
or
CMAKE_PROJECT_<PROJECT-NAME>_INCLUDE
variables are set, the files
they point to will be included as the last step of the project()
command.
If both are set, then CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE
will be included before
CMAKE_PROJECT_<PROJECT-NAME>_INCLUDE
.
Usage¶
The top-level CMakeLists.txt
file for a project must contain a
literal, direct call to the project()
command; loading one
through the include()
command is not sufficient. If no such
call exists, CMake will issue a warning and pretend there is a
project(Project)
at the top to enable the default languages
(C
and CXX
).
Note
Call the project()
command near the top of the top-level
CMakeLists.txt
, but after calling cmake_minimum_required()
.
It is important to establish version and policy settings before invoking
other commands whose behavior they may affect.

This component is a simple library for manipulating data, states of elements and Ajax request in JavaScript.
To use this component you need install with the command:
mobileui install mobileuijs
The most important functionality is the observation in objects and arrays.
For use you need add attribute data
in your HTML element with the name of a object
or array
.
This causes an element to be changed if the object or array is modified and you can display using a escape expression ${}
MobileUI.js embed the lib SuperAgent for call ajax request, because it is light-weight progressive ajax API crafted for flexibility, readability, and a low learning curve.
In this example a have a object
with attributes of user:
And in my HTML I have an element that uses this created object as data:
In this example a have a array
with objects of user:
And in my HTML I have an element that uses this created array as data:
If you add another object in array, the HTML elements will update. Check this feature in action:
The features of this component are:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
MobileUI.objectByForm('idElement') |
Returns an object with the values of the inputs found within the given element. |
MobileUI.formByObject('idElement', object) |
Set the input values from an informed object. |
MobileUI.clearForm('idElement') |
Clear and reset inputs within the entered element. |
MobileUI.ajax |
Ajax request flexibility, readability, and a low learning curve using SuperAgent. |
MobileUI.show('idElement') |

FLIPPER A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *
Let's say you want to make money, I mean make a movie. First, you acquire the rights to a kids' TV show which was popular in the 60s, "Flipper." Next you line up a sure fire and likable star, Paul Hogan from CROCODILE DUNDEE fame. You get a known child actor, Elijah Wood (AVALON, RADIO FLYER, THE ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN, THE WAR and NORTH). Finally, your piece de resistance is the show will feature an animal so naturally charming that surely riches must yours for the taking.
Well, it's not that easy. If you get a lame script from an fairly inexperienced screenwriter (Alan Shapiro), and a similarly inexperienced director (also Alan Shapiro) who is unable to breathe any life into the film, all of your other good ideas will be nullified. This show has such little energy it may put you to sleep. Count yourself extremely fortunate if this happens.
The setup for the plot is that Uncle Porter (Paul Hogan) is being paid by his sister to keep his 14 year old nephew Sandy Ricks (Elijah Wood) for the summer. Uncle Porter lives in a fishing village that is going broke because a bad guy, Dirk Moran (Jonathan Banks), is dumping toxic waste into the waters nearby. Sandy finds an adorable dolphin which he names Flipper. Flipper becomes attached to him and follows him around. The film is pure formula from beginning to end.
The script attempts both physical and verbal humor and both fall flat. An example of the visual jokes is the way Uncle Porter makes toast which is by pushing white bread onto a nail in a metal wall and then using a blow torch to create instant toast. It sounds funnier that it is on the screen. A gross piece of humor is that Sandy throws up all over himself, but never gets around to putting on a clean shirt. I am talking caked on vomit a half inch thick which completely covers the front of the shirt.
Since the uncle smokes big cigars, Sandy tries them as well. His uncle lets him do this until he gets sick. I think it makes underage smoking look cool if you are macho enough not to get sick, which is the wrong message to give to the film's intended audience. The language is silly, but at least it is clean.
The script has a few nice lines.  Another is when Dirk threatens Porter with "I ought to teach you a lesson." Porter retorts, "I'd like that. I have a thirst for knowledge; teach me."
To make sure the audience understand how evil Dirk is, they have him shoot dolphins with a high powered rifle from his boat, which is called Bounty Hunter. Similarly, to remind the audience how in awe they should be of the dolphins, the cinematographer (Bill Butler) uses lots of orange filters to give the jumping dolphins a mystical look.
The acting is pretty awful. Paul Hogan does not play Uncle Porter. Instead he delivers a weak rendition of the old Paul Hogan. Think of it as Paul Hogan with most of his life blood sucked out as if there was a vampire picture being filmed on the next lot. Elijah Wood's performance is so detached it is like an out-of-body experience. Only Flipper seems up to his assignment, but he is not given much interesting to do. Tossing a soda can from off screen, does not a moving performance make. Jessica Wesson (MILK MONEY and CASPER) plays Sandy's friend Kim. If they had done something with this romantic angle it might have been a refreshing change of pace, but it is never developed much.
FLIPPER runs 1:35. It is rated PG and nothing offensive happens. There is no sex, nudity, bad language, and little violence. My easy to please son Jeffrey (age 7) gives film a thumbs up, but only for kids 5 and up.  I'm glad Jeffrey liked the show, but I hated it. I am still amazed that they could take such a likable star as Flipper and make such an inanimate movie. A big thumbs down from me and a rating of a single *.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Porsche 911 Turbo Prototype Spied With Fixed Duck Tail Wing
A modern-day Carrera RS?
by Anthony KarrWe are still several months away from the debut of the next-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S but we’ve already seen quite a few prototypes of the model testing on public roads and race tracks. Today we uncover yet another test car but this time around it’s a rather interesting machine that caught our photographers’ attention in Stuttgart.
Gallery: Porsche 911 Turbo S duck tail prototype spy photos
Almost everything looks as expected here except for the small fixed rear wing at the back. It’s what many describe as a duck tail spoiler and is something we’ve seen on the so-called Sport Classic series of the German manufacturer. The big difference here is that this car seems to be based on the upcoming 911 Turbo S, whereas the previous 911 Sport Classic used the Carrera S model as a foundation.
Just as a reminder, the 911 Turbo S prototypes we’ve seen so far feature an active rear wing, which is significantly larger than the fixed spoiler seen on this test car (see comparison above).
911 Turbo S (992) Spied:
We have a few different theories as to what’s in the cards for the current generation of the 911 (992). One very plausible option is that Porsche will simply use the Turbo S for a base of a new Sport Classic series, which could be highly limited to a few hundred examples. On the other hand, an even hotter 911 Turbo – which we will theoretically call the Turbo RS for now, could be planned. A modern-day Carrera RS in the same vein as the car with that name from the 1970s also seems possible.

Whatever the case is, we should know more next year. According to recent information, the new 911 Turbo S will debut in the spring of 2020 when it will unleash its mighty 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine. Word on the street is we will be dealing with 641 horsepower (477 kilowatts) and 590 pound-feet (799 Newton-meters), but – of course – nothing is official at this point.

Air traffic controllers have one of the most demanding jobs on the planet, by most accounts. With nothing more than strips of paper and small radar scopes, they are responsible for thousands of lives daily. The profession "boasts" high rates of alcoholism, depression, burnout, and suicide.
Talking like auctioneers on meth, controllers have to keep track of dozens of airplanes, getting everyone where they need to go, on time, without killing anyone. The airspace around New York City has three major airports within twenty miles of each other, and the small facility responsible for controlling that area is the unlikely setting for "Pushing Tin." (The title, by the way, is controller lingo for maximizing use of airspace to keep planes on schedule.)
Nick "The Zone" Falzone (John Cusack) is the best controller in New York. Unlike most of his co-workers, his life outside the workplace isn't quite as intense as his job - for the most part, he's content to go home to his wife Connie (Cate Blanchett), his only outward concession to his six-figure salary a nice sportscar.
Enter Russell Bell (Billy Bob Thornton), another legend in the field, the one man better at his job than "The Zone." His Zen-like approach to the job and quiet demeanor shadow a wild nature - he rides a mean motorcycle and has a wife half his age (Angelina Jolie). He is very nearly the definition of "intensity," standing under landing 747s to get caught up in the backwash. And it pushes all of Falzone's alpha-male buttons.
"Pushing Tin" could have used a controller, as it seems to have trouble picking a theme. At times, Nick and Russell are engaged in a war of machismo, as they constantly try to outdo each other in everything from shooting free throws to bedding each other's wives (and, of course, landing planes). The mutual antagonism (and, very occasionally, mutual respect) would have made for a great movie on its own.
But at times it flies into comedic territory as well, though the jokes are generally subtle. Dry, intellectual humor can be difficult to pull off, but when they're given the chance, the cast does a fair job of it. The laughs are sparse enough that "Pushing Tin" can't really be billed as a comedy, though.
The last thirty minutes touch on the romance that the movie is billed for, and even elements of the classic male-bonding buddy movie. Any of these aspects could have been drawn out to make a movie with a consistent theme, that wouldn't feel quite as disjoint as "Pushing Tin."
Perhaps because they can't latch onto any given kind of story in which to act, the cast turns in mediocre performances at best. Thornton has already done his controller schtick (in "Armageddon"), and Cusack's character just doesn't have anything distinctinve about it. Blanchett and Jolie, both award-winning actresses, are underutilized to the point of merely being attractive set dressing.
With a top-notch cast and intriguing setting, I wanted to like "Pushing Tin." But the script tries to push more tin than it can handle, leaving this movie hanging in midair and eventually crashing in the video store.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATEEXECUTE IMMEDIATE implicitly prepares and executes complete SQL statements coded in host variables. Only a subset of SQL statements is available when you use the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE class of dynamic SQL. The most important SQL statement that is missing is the SELECT statement. Therefore, EXECUTE IMMEDIATE dynamic SQL cannot retrieve data from tables. If you don't need to issue queries, you can write the SQL portion of your program in two steps. First, move the complete text for the statement to be executed into a host variable. Second, issue the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement specifying the host variable as an argument. The statement is prepared and executed automatically. Listing 12.1 shows a simple use of EXECUTE IMMEDIATE that DELETEs rows from a table. The SQL statement is moved to a string variable and then executed. Listing 12.1. A COBOL Program Using EXECUTE IMMEDIATEWORKING-STORAGE SECTION. . . .

You can replace the DELETE statement in Listing 12.1 with any of the following supported statements: ALTER COMMENT ON COMMIT CREATE DELETE DROP EXPLAIN GRANT INSERT LABEL ON LOCK TABLE REVOKE ROLLBACK SET UPDATE Despite the simplicity of the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement, it usually is not the best choice for application programs that issue dynamic SQL for two reasons. One, as I mentioned, EXECUTE IMMEDIATE does not support the SELECT statement. Two, performance can suffer when you use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in a program that executes the same SQL statement many times. After an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is performed, the executable form of the SQL statement is destroyed. Thus, each time an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement is issued, it must be prepared again. This preparation is automatic and can involve a significant amount of overhead. A better choice is to code non-SELECT dynamic SQL using PREPARE and EXECUTE statements. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE GuidelinesWhen developing dynamic SQL programs that use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, observe the following guidelines. Verify Dynamic SQL SyntaxVerify that the SQL statement to be executed with dynamic SQL uses the proper SQL syntax. This way, you can reduce the overhead incurred when improperly formatted SQL statements are rejected at execution time. Use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE for Quick, One-Time TasksThe EXECUTE IMMEDIATE class of dynamic SQL is useful for coding quick-and-dirty one-time processing or DBA utility-type programs. Consider using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in the following types of programs:
Declare EXECUTE IMMEDIATE Host Variables ProperlyThe definition of the host variable used with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE must be in the correct format. Assembler, COBOL, and C programs must declare a varying-length string variable. FORTRAN programs must declare a fixed-list string variable. PL/I programs can declare either type of variable. |

Vijayan for talks While Mr. Vijayan said the the State would try to resolve the issue through discussions, if necessary with the Prime Minister himself, Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac tweeted that the Centre must either accept the UAE’s offer or compensate the State. The relevant section of the chapter on ‘International Cooperation’ of the NDMP reads: “As a matter of policy, the Government of India does not issue any appeal for foreign assistance in the wake of a disaster. However, if the national government of another country voluntarily offers assistance as a goodwill gesture in solidarity with the disaster victims, the Central Government may accept the offer. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, is required to coordinate with the Ministry of External Affairs, which is primarily responsible for reviewing foreign offers of assistance and channelising the same. In consultation with the State Government concerned, the MHA will assess the response requirements that the foreign teams can provide.”


Pork meatballs, sherry, pancetta and slow-cooked pea stew recipe
by Stevie ParleThis slow-cooked meatball and pea strew recipe is pretty special. Serve with deliciously creamy mashed potatoes. My top tip: blanching the peas first helps to prevent them from going hard.
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 45 minutes
SERVES
Four
INGREDIENTS
- Olive oil
- 100g smoked lardons or large chunks of pancetta
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
- 200g peas
- 400g pork mince, straight out of the fridge
- 30g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- Zest of ½ lemon
- A handful of parsley leaves, finely chopped
- A pinch of dried chilli
- 1 tsp fennel seeds, roughly crushed
- 30g Parmesan, plus extra to serve
- 275ml dry sherry
- Mashed potato, to serve
METHOD
- Add a good splash of oil to a deep pan and place over a medium heat. When hot, add the lardons or pancetta and fry until they begin to release their fat.
- Add the onions and the garlic and cook slowly for at least 8 minutes until soft and sweet.
- Meanwhile, bring a pan of hot water to the boil and blanch the peas for 2 minutes. Drain, keeping the cooking liquid.
- Add the cooked peas to the onions and pour over enough cooking water to come halfway up the peas. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cover while you make the meatballs.
- Place the remaining ingredients, except the sherry, in a large bowl and season well. Mix with your hands, then shape into ping-pong-sized balls.
- Add a good splash of oil to a large frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs until golden all over and then add to the peas.
- Pour over the sherry and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer and cover with greaseproof paper. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the peas are soft and delicious. Serve with mashed potato.

Woman, 53, killed in 'awful' hit-and-run outside hospital
The woman was struck on Wigan Lane, just outside the Royal Albert Infirmary
by Olivia TobinA 53-year-old woman has been killed in a hit-and-run outside a hospital in what police are calling an "awful incident".
Police were called to Wigan Lane, outside of the Royal Albert Infirmary, in Wigan, at about 8.50pm on Saturday.
Paramedics battled to save the woman but she died at the scene.
No arrests have been made and the car failed to stop.
Police Sergeant Andrew Page, of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said the force is doing "all we can" to trace the driver.
He said: "A woman has tragically lost her life and we are doing all we can to support her family who are understandably devastated by what happened.
“The vehicle failed to stop at the scene and had left the immediate area prior to police arrival but we’re doing all we can trace the person responsible for this awful incident.
“If you have any information or saw anyone acting suspiciously in the local area last night, please get in touch as soon as possible so we can provide the woman’s family with the answers they deserve.”
The car has been described as a dark-coloured vehicle.
Anyone with information should call GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 846 4741 quoting incident number 3029 of 23/11/2019, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

I came across rCharts package developed by Ramnath Vaidyanathan early this year and quickly become a big fan of it. rCharts is a R interface to multiple javascript charting libraries, allowing one to quickly generate a interactive visualization in R environments. Currently the official rCharts supports may popular javascript charting libraries, however Highstock is not one of them.
Ramnathv pointed out in the thread, that the work to integrate highstock has already been done. I download this implementation and did a few improvements.
The following is an example of using HighStock-rCharts to visualize a stock and add couple TAs. You can check out the code from my github
require(rCharts)
require(quantmod)
require(plyr)
# set working directory
setwd('set the working director')
## source the highstock class and plotting functions
# Function sourceDir is defined in the Examples section of ?source:
sourceDir <- function(path, trace = TRUE, ...) {
for (nm in list.files(path, pattern = "[.][RrSsQq]$")) {
if(trace) cat(nm,":")
source(file.path(path, nm), ...)
if(trace) cat("\n")
}
}
sourceDir(path = 'highstock/R/')
## Download data
# Specify period of time we are interested in
startDate <- as.Date("2010-01-01")
endDate <- as.Date("2013-12-31")
# Define the tickers we are interested in
tickers <- c('AAPL')
getSymbols(tickers, src = "google", from = startDate, to = endDate)
stocks <- do.call(rbind, lapply(tickers, getQData(OHLCV)))
aapl <- subset(stocks, stock=='AAPL')
# 1. Standard candle plot
p <- candlePlot(data = aapl, name='AAPL');p
# 2. add Volume to plot
hs.addVOL(p, data = aapl, height = 60);p
# 3. add moving average
hs.addEMA(p, data = aapl, n = 10);p
# 4. add BBands
hs.addBBands(p, data = aapl, n = 20, sd = 2);p
# 5. add MACD
hs.addMACD(p, data = aapl);p


HTML2PATS is a tool for converting HTML with embedded ATS2 code into ATS2 code
HTML2PATS can be used as a templating engine or as a preprocessor (when memory safety & runtime efficiency are highly sought after). HTML2PATS can be thought of as a tool for giving a nicer syntax to a class of functions for constructing HTML (fragments).
\$E

expression E
, where E
stands for some
alphanumeric identifier. For instance: the value of
parameter \$t
evaluates
to $t.\$\{E\}
if E
stands for some
more complex expression. For instance, the
expression \$\{(if t="" then "yes" else
"no"):string\}
, when evaluated in the context of
a style

Coordinate is a three dimensional position that helps to convert between zoom levels. It is expressed as a row, column, and zoom. Zoom levels in Modest Maps start at zero, and grow as you zoom in. Tile providers typically express tile locations in such coordinates, which is why the map provider interface understands coordinates and not points. Whole-number coordinates in the tile grid correspond exactly to tile images requested from the provider server.

Lens Simulator
For this project, I augmented my ray tracing program to simulate lenses! In the original raytracer, I was simulating a pinhole camera, or "camera obscura". I was tracing light rays through an aperture the size of one point to generate an image. Most cameras we use today are more sophisticated: they include lenses which bend the light rays and varying aperture sizes. By simulating different lenses and apertures, I can achieve a variety of effects with my raytracer.
Part 1: Tracing Rays Through Lenses
A pinhole camera is one with a point sized aperture.
Aperture:
The space or hole light passes through in a camera.
The pinhole camera generates images just fine, but it is limited in terms of the focus and zoom effects we can generate. Photographers choose the appropriate lens for their shot. There are wide angle lenses which can capture a large landscape with the entire scene in focus, lenses built to focus on an object in the foreground and blur the background, fisheye lenses, and more. By simulating lenses, the ray tracer can generate images with varying perspectives and focal effects, much like a photographer can by changing his lens.
I simulated four different lenses: a D-GAUSS F/2 22deg HFOV, Wide-angle (38º) Nakamura, SIGLER Super Achromate Telephoto, and Muller 16mm/f4 155.9FOV Fisheye lens.
| Lens: | D-GAUSS F/2 22deg HFOV | Wide-angle (38º) Nakamura | SIGLER Super Achromate Telephoto | Muller 16mm/f4 155.9FOV Fisheye |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Focal Length | 50.3582 | 22.0235 | 249.567 | 9.99142 |
| Infinity Focus Sensor Depth | 51.2609 | 28.7635 | 188.758 | 28.7443 |
| Close Focus Sensor Depth | 62.7567 | 34.5797 | 236.875 | 31.1818 |
| Close Focus Distance | -264.605 | -109.048 | -1646.2 | -60.8527 |
Sensor Depth vs. Conjugate Plots
Pinhole vs Lens Renders
Part 2: Contrast Based Autofocus
I think this was the coolest part of the project, and it was relatively simple! I implemented autofocus, so that after I render an image, I can select a small patch I want to focus on, and the program will render the image focusing in that area. Kind of like when you take a picture on your iphone, you can tap the area of the viewer that you want to focus on.
Focus Metric and Heuristic
So, the important question is: how am I going to measure how focused an image is? To be able to autofocus, I need some kind of metric that can distinguish a better-focused image from a worse one.
The answer to this is to measure the variance of the colors in the image. A really blurry image will have low variance, since all of the colors are blurred. As it gets blurrier, the colors kind of blend together, and they vary less. A sharp, focused image on the other hand will have high variance.
I calculated the variance of each color in the image: red, blue, and green. First I found the mean red, blue, and green values in the image. Then, I summed the difference between each sample and the mean for that color squared. Finally I normalized this value over the number of samples to find the variance.
sum(sample_i - mean^2)/num_samples
By adding the red, blue and green variance, I created a heuristic to measure how focused the image was. Then, I just chose the sensor depth that corresponded with the highest value of the heuristic
In this case, you can see the image is becoming more focused as it approaches a sensor depth of ~60. Once the sensor depth increases past 60, the focus metric (a function of variance) starts decreasing. 60 is the ideal sensor depth for this render to be focused.


WHERE IS MY FRIEND'S HOUSE ? (director: Abbas Kiarostami; cast: Babak Ahmedpour, Ahmed Ahmedpour, Kheda Barech, 1987-Iran)
A young Northern Iranian schoolboy, Ahmed, wishes to return a school notebook to his classmate, who is threatened with expulsion from school if he does not bring in his notebook to school for tomorrow's class. The problem is that the student lives in the next village and Ahmed does not know his address. How he gets the notebook to his friend's house, turns out to be an odyssey of great human endeavor, as this 8-year-old, looks through wanting eyes at an adult world that is trapped in its own misconceptions. Ahmed has to overcome his mother's harsh outlook on life, his grand-father's caustic perception of how to raise a child, his strict school teacher, and the adults he meets on the way who are unconcerned with his problem.
That Ahmed goes on to the next village, despite warnings of not to go, is a metaphor for how a childlike curiousity and a refreshing innocense is the essential ingredient needed, if change is ever to come to a society that is stagnant. The narrowness of life and the barren landscape, are excellent props for the director's vibrant themes, shot without professional actors and done in a low key, realistic style. The aims of this film are set too low to make it a masterpiece, especially when you compare it to a Satyajit Ray film, but this is still great cinema, something American filmmakers would be wise to observe. Abbas is not afraid to let his camera do the work, to allow it to follow his student around in real time, so we do get a feeling of what it is to participate in the journey. His relentless pursuit is poetically evocative, depicting life in its raw elements. What more can you ask for?

Mitch Love, #FreeQuilty, and an NPR news quiz show
The Everett Silvertips legend was drafted into a segment on “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me.”
by Nick PattersonIt turns out Mitch Love’s return to Everett isn’t the only way in which the longtime Everett Silvertips icon made headlines this week.
First off, a tip of the hat to Chad Balcom, who hosts the Portland Winterhawks podcast Pucklandia and co-hosts the WHL podcast WHL Unfiltered for alerting us to this.
So NPR has a weekend radio show called “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” which is a humorous game show-like rundown of the week’s news headlines. One of the segments in each week’s show is called “Bluff the Listener,” in which that week’s three celebrity panelists read outrageous news stories related to a single subject, only one of which is true. It’s up to a call-in listener to guess which of the three stories is actually true.
Well, this Saturday’s “Bluff the Listener” news stories all dealt with the hashtag #FreeQuilty and what that meant. Love, in his role as the Saskatoon Blades’ head coach, was drafted into one of the stories, which involved toilet paper,the team’s mascot and … well, I’ll leave the rest to you.
You can listen to the segment or read a transcript on NPR’s website.


BLADE RUNNER (1982) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1997 Ted Prigge
Director: Ridley Scott Writers: Hampton Fancher and David Peoples (based on the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick) Starring: Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, Joanna Cassidy, Brion James, William Sanderson, M. Emmet Walsh, Edward James Olmos, James Hong, Morgan Paull
It's pretty much the requisite that a film taking place in the future has a lot of action, maybe a little romance, and grade-A special effects. "Blade Runner" has the latter two, and has a plot that sounds like it would contain a lot of big action sequences: a police officer called a blade runner has to silence four illegal androids called replicants. It sounds like a B-movie action sci-fi pic, but "Blade Runner" takes this idea a whole different and original way, which disapoints some (the flick bombed at the box office), but pleases others.
The "Blade Runner" of the title is Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford, around the time he had just gotten big with "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), a retired Blade Runner in L.A. 2019. He is basically your typical Phillip Marloe/Sam Spade/John Shaft loner detective, dressing in trench-coats, and always brooding over something (although getting significantly less booty than Shaft). Harrison Ford has been criticized for his portrayal, but I thought he gave a nicely alienated performance, with touches of humor in it, without never loosing the core of the character.
Deckard is called in to "retire" four "skin jobs," as his ex-boss (M. Emmet Walsh) puts it. He says the job is "bad, the worst," chiefly because these illegal androids, which were deemed illegal when they started going beserk and killing people, have come back to earth, in the city where the plant that created them is: Tyrell Corp., headed by the epnonmysly named genius (Joe Turkel, the bartender in Kubrick's "The Shining"). He reluctantly agrees to do it, and is sent out with his quiet assistant (Edward James Olmos) to investigate...slowly.
The four replicants in the film - leader Batty (Rutger Hauer), acrobatic Pris (Daryl Hannah), kinda dumb Leon (Brion James), and seductive Zhora (Joanna Cassidy) - are shown in intercuts between the action of Deckard. They aren't shown as truly evil creatures, but are given a bit of respect.  Their actions are only influenced by their necessity to survive, like any other kind of living organism.
Also in the film is the replicant Rachael (Sean Young), who has no clue she's a replicant. She has been given a past, inplanted by Tyrell, and when she finds out, she begins to become obsessed with the man who found her out - Deckard. They share a bizarre relationship, seeming to fall in love, which is the cruel ironic twist in the movie. When she finds out, she begins to run, and Deckard finds out he has to retire her as well as the other four.
The film moves at a very slow, leisurely pace. While this pisses a lot of people off, it's no slower than a detective film noir from the 40s, like "Malteese Falcon." The twist on the detective noir story is that it's in the future, and it works nicely. It not only builds up a wonderful paralellism between humans and androids, but creates a memorable world (which was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to "E.T" - okay, let's see: creating an entirely new world, or creating one goddam little alien? the choice shouldn't be that hard, folks).
The world that is depicted is one that is totally amazing to view, but shown in a lovely bit of satirical insight into our world. What has happened is we have apparently destroyed earth, and the rich and elite have moved to the "off-shore colonies," which is shown in ad campaigns flying around the streets of L.A., which are filled with trash, and mostly aisians (hmm...). The rich and elite who haven't off earth live in the tops of tall buildings, which seems to be the only source of light in the world.
The direction, script, and acting are very good, although they are all both dark and brooding, sometimes too much so. The lighting in the film is somewhat like that of Ridley's brother Tony's - blue foggy lights - but used to a poignant and cooler effect (the blue foggy lights in Tony Scott flicks are there for...um...well, there is no reason why they're there).
And the acting is generally good, with notable performances by Rutger Hauer (who does overdo it a bit towards the end), Sean Young (who gives what is probably the only good performance of her career), and William Sanderson (the leader of the "Daryl"s from "Newhart," who gives a senstive performance as a diseased engineer who helps some of the replicants out, and actually got a lot of pathos from me).
There are two versions of this flick: the original and the director's cut. There seems to be some contreversy over which one is the better one. The director's cut doesn't change A LOT, but what it changes are excellent. For one thing, the annoying-as-hell, unnecessary, montone voice-over narration by Harrison Ford is thankfully omitted (some say it helps; I think it is annoying, and spoon-feeds all the themes to us, not letting us figure it out). Another thing is the love between Rachael and Deckard is actually backed up a little more, making it a tad more realistic than just some cruel irony tossed in by the writers.
And then there's the ending.  So they tried their best to sabotage it, apparently for the better.  The director's cut cuts this out, and leaves off with the darker ending, which suits the film a little better.
But even if you don't see the director's cut, it's an excellent film, although a tad flawed. And even if you can't get into the story, or like any of the characters, at least your mouth can drop at the gorgous sets, special effects, etc, etc, etc. And besides, you get to see Daryl Hannah do the "Onnatop" spiel from "Goldeneye on a lucky Harrison Ford!

Give students a short form or survey - include options to list their individual skills and strengths
(see the Group Formation form link below. Thanks to Dr. Tami Meredith for sharing)
Create groups based on students' skills and strengths
Give each individual a role in the group - i.e., leader/manager, lead programmer, technical writer,
researcher etc. (Ensure women and people who are perceived to be female are not relegated to purely document writing or presenting - they
also need an opportunity to code!)
Include peer feedback - students must evaluate the performance of others in the group
(Added as suggestion - students should be able to highlight to the instructor if they feel strongly
about NOT working with a particular student)
Factors That Inhibit Group Work
Poorly designed tasks without clear goals and outcomes
Lack of clear roles for students
Poor communication among group members
Link to a form that can be used to form groups (an image of the form is below):
Group work (also known as cooperative learning) is a valuable method of instruction that can
be implemented in classes to allow students to work together to produce projects, research papers etc. It
supports cooperation and collaboration among individuals for a common purpose.
There are many methods to formulating groups:
students can create their own groups
instructors can group students to generate a balance of genders, ethnicities, cultures, etc.
instructors can create groups according to students abilities
instructors can create groups according to skill and strengths
All the above methods can be effective if implemented correctly, however, research
suggests that instructor created groups are the most effective in developing new trusting relationships,
an important interpersonal skill. Most students believe that student created groups are more
effective, but research suggests this simply is not true (Hilton and Philips, 2010).
Some Advice for your Students BEFORE they Begin their Project
Know What You Want
Talk with your teammates about the quality of work your team aspires to produce and the amount
of commitment to reach that goal. What type of team do you want to be? Define the general rules by which the
team will work. How will the team determine who does what? How often will you meet, and for how long? How will
you keep in touch between meetings? Spending a few minutes at the start to put these "rules" in writing can
save you much frustration and disappointment later.
Plan How to Get There
Team projects can feel overwhelming at first, and you may be tempted to quickly split-up the
work so that everyone can get started on it. Do not do this. Take time to identify:
The specific steps needed to complete the project
The skills required at each step
The strengths of each team member.  So, assign work to team
members based on their strengths and workload, ensuring that everyone gets to do their fair share. Research
shows that teams earn better grades when everyone participates in a meaningful way
Work as a Team
Teams are more than just groups of people. To be a team, you must be committed to the same
goal and be willing to “step up” when you can. Teams can accomplish much when working as a single unit, but
not without the individual effort made by team members. Research shows that the highest project grades are
earned when team members work together bringing their skills and abilities to bear on each task.
Build the Team
Teams rarely are perfect when they first start. It takes time to build the trust that is
needed when relying on others. Help each other along by scheduling times to review each other’s work and to
give constructive feedback on how it can be improved. As a team, assess the whole team’s performance and the
openness of its communications. Do this often, and small difficulties will be less likely to turn into big
problems.

Webpack vs Browserify for React
For any non-React client-side project, I'd use Browserify. For React projects, after having used both, I'd use Webpack. This is for two reasons:
- Webpack's got React Hot Loader, which has the advantage over BrowserSync in that it will compile and update only the bits that have changed on the webpage. Only disadvantage is that it won't reload all browsers that I've got open to the same address like BrowserSync does.
- Webpack's got better bundling support. I need only a few lines in configuration to tell it to bundle a module or two in a separate bundle and it's worked much more reliably than the plugins that I've tried with Browserify.
If I could change two things about this, it would be for React Hot Loader to work with BrowserSync and for Webpack to be more "mainstream" like Browserify. Despite all these, the two benefits I mentioned above gives Webpack the edge IMHO.


ALIEN RESURRECTION
Grade: B (Somewhat disappointing, but worthwhile for fans of the franchise and goop in general)
Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet Written by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Dan Hedaya (Blood Simple), Michael Wincott (Strange Days), Brad Dourif (Exorcist 3) Year of Release: 199720 Rating: R
Deserves Recognition for: Actress (Weaver), Cinematography (Darius Khondji)20
Capsule Review: Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley's back from the dead and fighting more of the most Freudian bugs in the universe in a flick that, while nowhere near the quality of the installments helmed by Ridley Scott and James Cameron, is still a pretty fun ride. By far the shortest film in the series, this sacrifices some potentially intriguing ideas about genetic responsibility in favor of sheer balls-to-the-wall speed. (I became a little more disappointed with the film thinking about it on the way home after the rush had worn off.) Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children) seemed like a good choice for reviving the franchise, but his ultra-quirky style mingles uneasily with the one-liner intensive script by Joss Whedon (significantly, the two best sequences - a kickass underwater chase and an encounter with some eerily resonant failed experiments - are both virtually dialog free), resulting in a film that wavers between the moods established by the first two installments, but never quite finds an distinct identity of its own. Still, the set design and lighting (by the great Darius Khondji, who also did Se7en) are fabulous, Sigourney Weaver scores some subtle variations on her usual persona, and most importantly, it's a far more entertaining movie than the misbegotten Alien 3. Bring on part 5.
