PH Youth goes door-to-door to meet Tanjung Piai folks
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) Youth machinery is going door-to-door in the Tanjung Piai parliamentary by-election to meet villagers there, said Angkatan Bersatu Anak Muda (Armada) chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
He said that by doing so, it proved PH Youth machinery is working very hard to implement high impact programme for PH and to help look into the needs of the community.
“PH Youth machinery is using a different approach (for this by-election), as we go to every single house to understand their needs, and try our best to solve it there and then. Members of Armada were also told to live with the villagers to understand their needs and to organise high impact programmes with them,” he told reporters after launching the LEVEL UP Kuala Lumpur Programme here, today.
The Muar MP was responding to a question from reporters on the performance of PH machinery, as the media reported low attendance at PH events in the by-election campaign.
He said PH coalition is unique as it solves problems together as a family.
The annual LEVEL UP Kuala Lumpur programme is part of the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) Sdn Bhd’s plan to lead the digital economy in Malaysia through the growth of the national video game industry.
LEVEL UP KL 2019 which runs from November 9 to 10, provides a range of activities for the video game industry and the general public. — Bernama

Use PGLS to test for a correlation between two continuous variables
In this exercise, we will learn how to use PGLS to test for a correlation between two continuous variables. We will use the Arbor function “PGLS,” found in the phylogeny package.
Imagine that you have a phylogenetic tree with information on two continuous character for some or all of the tips. You want to test whether or not there is an evolutionary correlation between the two traits. PGLS is the way to do this.
Loading example data
For this example, we will use anolis again. Obtain the anolis example data files, phelsuma.phy and phelsuma.csv, from Arbor datasets. Save those files somewhere on your computer.
Now open the Arbor web app. Drag and drop the two anolis data files on the blue “Browse or drop files” box to load them into your browser.
Selecting the collections that you need
For this example, everything required is in the “phylogeny” collection - so click on that eyeball and you will be able to access the functions that you need.
At this point, you should have the two anolis datafiles stored in Arbor and the “phylogeny” collection available.
In this screenshot I am logged in but that is not necessary for this analysis.
Run the PGLS function
Find the PGLS function in the “phylogeny” collection. Select that function now. You can view the source code for it by choosing “show script” (it is in R).
We could use this function in a workflow, as we did in other Arbor tutorials. But for this tutorial let’s just run the function. To do that, click on the button that says “Setup and run.” In the resulting pop-up menu select the following options:
We will be fitting the model SVL ~ awesomeness, so that SVL is the dependent and awesomeness the independent variable. “BM” means that we will fit a model that assumes that the residuals are distributed as expected under a Brownian motion model of evolution along the branches of the tree.
Run your analysis
Click “> Run” to run the function. Select these options. If your analysis worked, you should see the following message:
.
See your results
Now move over to the “visualization” tab to see your results. The PGLS function creates three outputs: one table showing model coefficients like slopes and intercepts; one table showing a summary of model fit and parameter significance; and a plot.
To see the table results, choose “table” and choose one of the outputs, either “PGLS coefficients” or “PGLS modelfit_summary”. Update shows you the table. For example, the coefficients look like this:
.
To see the plot, select “image” under “Select visualization”, and choose your plot under “data” (it should be called PGLS pglsPlot). Click “update” to see this result:
Try another model
If you want to use a different option for PGLS, you can choose that in the setup and run window. For example, we can try OU like this:
You will notice that the coefficients are slightly different, though the main conclusion is unchanged.

{{ page.description }}
Now that Google Reader is closing down and a lot of my readers may want to migrate their ploeh blog subscription to another service, I think it's the right time for a quick post about ploeh blog's syndication feed addresses.
When I migrated my blog to Jekyll I made it a priority to ensure a certain level of backwards compatibility. The permalinks for the old posts are still served, although they are now redirects. For that reason, I also left the old syndication feed addresses in place. Specifically, I left this old RSS feed address in place: /SyndicationService.asmx/GetRss
. This feed address sort of works, but has issues.
There are several problems with the 'legacy' feed address:
However, ploeh blog has new, 'proper' syndication feed addresses, so if you're already in the process of migrating your subscriptions away from Google Reader, please take a moment to update your subscription. That 'legacy' RSS address may not stick around forever.
The proper syndication feed addresses for ploeh blog are:
Both serve responses with the "text/xml" Content-Type.


A map of the 2022 US House of Representatives if it were redistricted to reflect the popular vote in each state. As far as is known, this map only has 434 seats instead of 435, this could be due to an error in the code or because the maps were drawn with the wrong amounts of districts. This problem will be rectified as soon as time is available.
Due to the nature of Dave's Redistricting, the map does not entirely reflect how these districts would have voted in a House election. Rather, each state represents a the general way it has voted within the past few years; on DRA this is the "composite dataset". However it must be noted that in some states the composite dataset is very innacurate and had to be changed to a different election dataset.
Whilst making the maps it was made sure that the districts retained a generally pleasing shape. This means that in overwhelmingly partisan states such as California or Oklahoma it was nearly impossible to draw a proportional map.

I have a small amount of experience when it comes to psychadelics. I have done plenty of shroom trips, along with two acid trips. After the person who we usually buy weed from told us he would be getting 2c-e, I decided to try it. I did some research and prepared myself.
I woke up at 4pm (I work a night shift) to a friend knocking on my door saying he had picked it up. I shower and head out. The setting for this trip is a decent sized college town with a lot of green space, and I was with two other people, who I will call M and K. K and I had not eaten at all that day, and M had a small meal earlier. These times are to the best of my knowledge. Certain inaccuracies may exist due to either not knowing the time or not being able to tell how long has passed since certain events.
-0:20 (twenty minutes beforehand)
M and I decide to smoke some weed after hearing about people getting nauseous. We each take two hits of chronic from a one hitter pipe.
0:00-
We dose. I pour about half of mine into some apple juice, and after having trouble getting it out of the bag, lick the rest off. The juice tastes completely normal, but the stuff from the bag has a chemical-type taste to it, but isn't completely unpleasant. We hang around while K finishes up some work.
+0:30-
I start to feel uncomfortable. I start to think about how I am going to trip for quite a long time and get anxious. We leave for a friends house to get some blankets and a laptop to listen to music.
+0:45-
We arrive at the friends house. We note that we are starting to feel something, although it may be just the weed. I feel more anxiousness and my stomach is upset.
+1:00-
We arrive to our planned site for the trip. It is a large quad surrounded by very old looking libraries and many trees. We set everything up. At this point my anxiousness is pretty bad. M tries to calm things down.
+1:10-
We note that open eye visuals are beginning. Certain things like the grass slowly wave and breath. In the span of a few seconds I go from not feeling good to knowing that I need to throw up.  Immediately after I feel a LOT better, both physically and mentally, and return to my friends. We lie out on the blanket for the next 20 minutes face up looking at the sky and trees. The visuals remind me of past shroom trips. A specific experience happened when I was lying on my back looking up at the sky. The color of the sky changed into a much brighter blue and sort of melted into all the surroundings.
+1:30-
We get up and walk around the quad. Walking without shoes is a very interesting sensation. I call two friends and talk for a few minutes. Intense thought patterns emerge. I pull a blade of grass out of the ground and contemplate the life and death of it.
+1:45-
K decides to have a cigarette. The smoke coming off the cigarette moves in a very vivid pattern and appears to be multi-colored. The next hour is spent lying down touching the grass, looking at the sky, clouds, and buildings, and discussing the different visualizations. By looking at an object and focusing for a few seconds, it starts to warp and shift. Geometric patterns form on the walls of buildings, and after looking at a patch of grass, every single blade seems to be as though it were embossed. K finds a dead leaf and decides that she loves it.
+2:45
Another friend arrives at the quad, I'll call him S. He decides he would like to go purchase some Salvia. I decide that although the quad is very entertaining, I wanted to venture out into the town. The idea of going some place was very interesting to me.
+3:00
We arrive at the head shop. Walking around, all the bowls look amazing. Looking very closely at a few, the colors shift and move. We purchase the salvia and a torch lighter. We head next door and buy some large water bottles, as it is a pretty hot day.
+3:30
We arrive back at the quad after picking up a bowl from a friends house. Although I have considerable experience with salvia, I feel that I am tripping quite strongly enough and decline. We continue to observe large visual disturbances.
+4:00
We recognize extreme time dilation. In examining an event that happened two hours ago, I feel that it happened 15-20 minutes ago, while K remarks that it feels like many hours since. Next two hours are spent relaxing, talking, and zoning out on the still very apparent visual disturbances.
+6:00
We decide we are no longer peaking, and feel the intensity of the hallucinations lower slightly, along with the 'mental' type high. We decide to each take a hit of a one hitter pipe of chronic. The weed seemed to bring back the visualizations, although the mental state was a lot calmer then before.  They taste sort of odd at first. After eating a few I feel content. We leave and head to another courtyard on campus.
+6:30
We arrive at the new location and lay out. We each smoke 1-2 hits of weed. We lie down and remain silent for a while. I look at a tree above me and still see major visual disturbances. After focusing on the tree for a few seconds, there is this very odd image that the tree is on fire. I see the ends of the branches glow orange, and the 'flames' creeping towards the center. Then the entire tree appeared black and almost disappeared. We note that we feel far from sober and are still experiencing hallucinations.
+7:00
We decide to head home. M goes to sleep, K hangs around and soon goes to sleep, I play video games for a while. I feel slightly high and mentally worn out. I know that I won't feel completely sober until I wake up the next morning.
+12:00
It's currently 12 hours after first dosing. I still feel sort of a buzz. I'm very tired and about to go to sleep.
Effects in general.
===Positive Effects===
Sense of well-being (enhanced lucidity, sense of inner peace)- This was definitely apparent. During the entire time we were tripping, things remained completely lucid. I never felt extremely inebriated or anything. My path of thoughts was always really clear, and I found that the drug made it easier to examine specific thoughts or senses.
Increase in associative & creative thinking-
Definitely very apparent. Offered a new perspective on many things.
Increased awareness of senses-
Very true. We would often find ourselves touching the grass or the blanket because it felt very good. At one time, I remember pouring water on my hand because it felt very funny to me.
Visual patterning, closed and open eye visuals-
These were apparent almost the entire time, both closed and open eye visuals, and were probably the best part of the trip.
Insight into personal issues-
Also very true. Later in the night we began discussing how our drug use relates to our lives, and thoughts about why we do drugs.
===Neutral Effects===
Pupil dilation-
Only apparent at one point, when looking into a mirror at the head shop.
Difficulty focusing, restlessness-
Not a major problem, but at certain points I found the need to stand up and walk around.
Change in perception of time-
Extreme. Occurred at many random times during the trip, and made it hard to recall the times of events without checking my phone to draw parallels between phone calls and events.
Increase in body temperature and pulse-
At times around the come-up I could feel my pulse very high. The day was very hot, so we were naturally pretty warm.
=Negative Effects=
Muscle tension and aching-
Not very apparent except for now. I feel a little sore, but thats about it.
Jaw tension-
Not a major problem at all. There were one or two times during a particularly intense hallucination that I would realize I was biting down pretty hard, but I stopped.
Gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and vomiting-
For me, this definitely happened. It wasn't really discomfort though. It was that I knew I was going to throw up, I did, and felt a lot better afterwards. M felt no stomach discomfort, and K felt some mid-trip but it quickly subsided. I believe had I eaten something small, I would have been able to overcome the nausea, but I tend to get nauseous when I'm really hungry, so the two seemed to combine.
Thats all! It was a pretty good trip in general, and I'm happy I got over the anxiety quickly.

Zend Framework 2
Fast setup for zf2 users.
If your project is using the zf2 mvc, you'll want to use the ShardModule which integrates Shard with the standard DoctrineMongoODMModule and DoctrineModule. It also means you can ignore the manual config below.
Manual Config
Hook Shard into the Doctrine configuration process.
Create a Manifest
The first thing to do is create a Manifest. The Manifest constructor takes a configuration array. Configuration keys are:
models
Specifies any document namespaces you want the DocumentManager to use
'models' => [ 'My\Document\Namespace' => 'my/document/directory/' ]
extension_configs
Specifies the extensions you want to enable. The keys are extension names. The values are extension config arrays. If you don't want to pass any config, just set the value to true.
You must always include extension.odmcore
Eg:
'extension_configs' => [ 'extension.odmcore', 'extension.accesscontrol' => true, ]
service_manager_config
Shard makes extensive use of Zend/ServiceManager/ServiceManager
. You don't need to know all the ins and outs of this class, it's just a container for holding services. The config tells the container where to get those services from, and then you can get them by calling $serviceManager->get('serviceName')
'service_manager_config' => [ 'invokables' => [...], 'factories' => [...], 'abstract_factories => [...] ]
Putting it all together
You can create a Manifest like this:
$manifest = new Zoop\Shard\Manifest([ 'models' => [ 'My\Document\Namespace' => 'my/document/directory/' //Specify the location of any documents you want to use. ], 'extension_configs' => [ 'extension.accesscontrol' => true //List any extensions you want to enable ], ]);
Manifest resources
Once created, the manifest can be used to retrieve all the resources used by all the extensions for the configuration of a DocumentManager. Eg:
$manifest->getModels(); //Array of all the document namespaces required $manifest->getSubscribers(); //Array of all the event subscribers required
DocumentManager Factory
By default, Shard configures a document manager for development use. It has default useful whilst creating your app, but is not tuned for production performance.
To configure your own document manager to your taste, override the modelmanager
service with your own factory.
'service_manager_config' => [ 'factories' => [ 'modelmanager' => 'My\DocumentManager\Factory' ] ]
Take a look at Zoop\Shard\ODMCore\DevDocumentManagerFactory
for inspiration on creating your own factory.
Using it
With a configured Manifest and DocumentManager factory, you can get the DocumentManger with:
$manifest = new Manifest([...]); $documentManager = $manifest->getModelManager();
Then just use the DocumentManager, and the extensions will do all their work for you.
Extensions may also provide other services which are available through the ServiceManager. For example, the Serializer extension provides a Serializer:
$serializer = $manifest->getServiceManager()->get('serializer');
User Config
Tell Shard who is using documents.
Several Shard extensions need to know who the current authenticated user is and what their roles are be. If the Shard extensions you are using don't need a configured user, then you can skip this bit. The documentation for each extension will note if a user is required.
If you need a configured user, first you need to create a user class.
Creating a simple user class
A simple user should implement the Zoop\Common\User\UserInterface
, and may use the Zoop\Shard\User\DataModel\UserTrait
. Eg:
use Zoop\Common\User\UserInterface; use Zoop\Shard\User\DataModel\UserTrait; //Annotation imports use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as ODM; use Zoop\Shard\Annotation\Annotations as Shard; class User implements UserInterface { use UserTrait; }
Creating a role aware user class
A role aware user is a further requirement of some extensions. It must also implement the Zoop\Common\User\RoleAwareUserInterface
, and may use the Zoop\Shard\User\DataModel\RoleAwareUserTrait
. Eg:
use Zoop\Common\User\UserInterface; use Zoop\Common\User\RoleAwareUserInterface; use Zoop\Shard\User\DataModel\UserTrait; use Zoop\Shard\User\DataModel\RoleAwareUserTrait; //Annotation imports use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as ODM; use Zoop\Shard\Annotation\Annotations as Shard; class RoleAwareUser implements UserInterface, RoleAwareUserInterface { use UserTrait; use RoleAwareUserTrait; }
Configure the user service
The user
service must be configured to return an instance of your user class.
For example you can configure your service as a closure factory:
$manifest = new Zoop\Shard\Manifest([ ... 'service_manager_config' => [ 'factories' => [ ... 'user' => function(){ $user = new RoleAwareUser(); $user->setUsername('toby'); //set the username $user->addRole('admin'); //add any roles the user has return $user; } ] ] ]);
For example you can configure your service with a factory class:
$manifest = new Zoop\Shard\Manifest([ ... 'service_manager_config' => [ 'factories' => [ ... 'user' => 'My\Active\User\Factory' } ] ] ]);
Or, you may wish to set the user
service directly:
$user = new RoleAwareUser(); $user->setUsername('toby'); //set the username $user->addRole('admin'); //add any roles the user has $manifest = new Zoop\Shard\Manifest([...]); $manifest->getServiceManager()->setService('user', $user);

BEFORE SUNRISE A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1995 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy. Screenplay: Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan. Director: Richard Linklater.
Slacker. Generation X. Twenty-something. There, now that I have dutifully trotted out all the terms that are *supposed* to apply to BEFORE SUNRISE, perhaps we can talk about what it really is. That is increasingly difficult to do with relationship-based films about characters in their 20s, which seem to come with generational baggage by the ton, and even harder to do when the director of the film in question is Richard (SLACKER) Linklater. But leave your pre-conceptions at the door, and you will be rewarded with a nearly perfect romance, a sweet, funny and poignant character study which, if there is any justice, will make Julie Delpy a star.
BEFORE SUNRISE is the story of a chance meeting between two people on a train in Europe. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is an American touring the continent; Celine (Julie Delpy) is a French student returning to the Sorbonne after a summer holiday. The two strike up a conversation which both enjoy, but which seems destined to end when the train reaches Vienna, Jesse's destination. Jesse, however, has another idea: for Celine to join him wandering through the city while he waits for his flight back to America the next morning. Celine agrees, and the next several hours become a whirlwind of discussion about life, death, family and falling in love.
BEFORE SUNRISE is likely to be a very polarizing kind of film, because it consists almost entirely of conversation between Jesse and Celine. There is a certain segment of the viewing public which will be driven to distracion by such a structure, and they should do themselves a favor and avoid it. I could argue with these individuals all day, and not convince them to see what I saw in BEFORE SUNRISE: two complex characters developing as genuine a relationship as you could hope to see on the screen. Linklater and co-screenwriter Kim Krizan allow Jesse and Celine to unfold slowly, so that the characters we think we have figured out early in the film turn out to be something very different by the end. Jesse at first appears to be carefree and confident, but as he lets his guard down he displays a deeply rooted cynicism and insecurity; Celine, whose early discussions focus on death and her very practical parents, becomes someone torn between the romantic she wants to be and the pragmatist she feels obliged to be. Even in isolation, I found getting to know these characters fascinating.
Together, I found them even more remarkable. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy both deliver marvelous performances, developing an affection and connection which always seems absolutely real. Some of their tentative early scenes were so perfect that I had to look away, particularly a hilariously uncomfortable moment in a record store listening booth where they refuse to make eye contact. While both are impressive, it is Delpy who commands the camera's attention; every reaction is on target, and every line seems spontaneous. It is difficult to choose one moment in her performance above the others, but one will linger in my memory: the look of giddy uncertainty on her face when she steps off of the train in Vienna. In that one look, Delpy says as much about what this film is about--the risk of romance--than all the dialogue.
I keep returning to certain terms when thinking about and describing BEFORE SUNRISE--perfect, genuine, real. If that is so, it is because I have seen film after film over the past few years try to pass itself off as a romance without demonstrating the most cursory understanding about the way a real relationship develops. Linklater does so many things right, but I would like to bring attention to things he *doesn't* do. He doesn't wait until the final reel for Jesse and Celine to kiss, accompanied by a full orchestra; he doesn't manufacture pointless conflict; and most astonishingly, he doesn't ever have them say "I love you." BEFORE SUNRISE is about a single night which will become a perfect memory, and I am beginning to believe that is what the film will become for me.

The EvoPER, Evolutionary Parameter Estimation for Individual-based Models is an extensible package providing optimization driven parameter estimation methods using metaheuristics and evolutionary computation techniques (Particle Swarm Optimization, Simulated Annealing, Ant Colony Optimization for continuous domains, Tabu Search, Evolutionary Strategies, ...) which could be more efficient and require, in some cases, fewer model evaluations than alternatives relying on experimental design. Currently there are built in support for models developed with 'Repast Simphony' Agent-Based framework (<https://repast.github.io/>) and with NetLogo (<https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/>) which are the most used frameworks for Agent-based modeling.

Creating my own Website
An Interesting Experience!
17th May, 2015
Having the opportunity to create my own website was an excellent experience. Even though my website is lacking content and special effects, I liked I was given the opportunity to lay a foundation that I could build on in the future.
I personally had never written blogs before DBC or ever thought I would. I have started to realize that blogging is a great way to share your experience and a way to see if you truly understand a topic. Before blogging there were times when I though I had understood a topics like Recursion, Classes, and Hash tables but while trying to write about it I found out that even-though I knew the topic I had a hard time explaining it in words.
I hope to continue to work on my website and improve upon it as I learn new concepts and technologies.


| poke_vars {tidyselect} | R Documentation |
Variables are made available to select helpers by registering them in a special placeholder.
scoped_vars()
changes the current variables and sets up a
function exit hook that automatically restores the previous
variables once the current function returns.
with_vars()
takes an expression to be evaluated in a variable
context.
poke_vars()
changes the contents of the placeholder with a new
set of variables. It returns the previous variables invisibly and
it is your responsibility to restore them after you are
done. This is for expert use only.
peek_vars()
returns the variables currently registered.
has_vars()
returns TRUE
if a variable context has been set,
FALSE
otherwise.
poke_vars(vars) scoped_vars(vars, frame = caller_env()) with_vars(vars, expr) has_vars()
vars |
A character vector of variable names. |
frame |
The frame environment where the exit hook for restoring the old variables should be registered. |
expr |
An expression to be evaluated within the variable context. |
For poke_vars()
and scoped_vars()
, the old variables
invisibly. For peek_vars()
, the variables currently
registered.
peek_vars
poke_vars(letters) peek_vars() # Now that the variables are registered, the helpers can figure out # the locations of elements within the variable vector: all_of(c("d", "z")) # In a function be sure to restore the previous variables. An exit # hook is the best way to do it: fn <- function(vars) { old <- poke_vars(vars) on.exit(poke_vars(old)) all_of("d") } fn(letters) fn(letters[3:5]) # The previous variables are still registered after fn() was # called: peek_vars() # It is recommended to use the scoped variant as it restores the # state automatically when the function returns: fn <- function(vars) { scoped_vars(vars) starts_with("r") } fn(c("red", "blue", "rose")) # The with_vars() helper makes it easy to pass an expression that # should be evaluated in a variable context. Thanks to lazy # evaluation, you can just pass the expression argument from your # wrapper to with_vars(): fn <- function(expr) { vars <- c("red", "blue", "rose") with_vars(vars, expr) } fn(starts_with("r"))


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all around us, from web search to video games. AI methods plan driving directions, filter spam, focus cameras, recognizes speech, and translates languages. Beyond today’s applications, AI is at the core of many emerging technologies like self-driving cars, household robots, and virtual humans. In the years to come, Artificial Intelligence will help transform science fiction into reality.
In this 10-week course, we will cover basic ideas and techniques underlying Artificial Intelligence using Python. Primarily, the course will use the programming of adversarial video games (such as tic-tac-toe, chess, and robowars) to illustrate core concepts. We will go through the importance of representations, which will introduce graph theory and probability theory. We will also cover the difficulty of rational decisions: evaluating the value of actions in context and choosing actions when there are too many options. By the end of the course, students will have a structured view of intelligent agents and their function.
This document is intended to be a companion to the Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course taught at Heroes Academy. For more information about Heroes Academy, please visit it here.
Below and to the left you will find the sections of this document. Each week there will be exercises to complete at home, as well as supplementary materials for further understanding and learning. The topic of Artificial Intelligence is very broad and not everything can be covered. In fact, a large majority of what is covered is cherry picked to get a taste for the flavor of how Computer Scientists solve decision making problems, like game playing and problem solving.


When turning on my emonTX I get a spike in the measure power - way more that can be supplied by the circuit breaker. Any suggestions why and how it can be avoided?
I am using the emonTxV3_4_3Phase.ino.
By the way I have merged the emonTxV4_3Phase with the temperature measuring code from emonTxV3_4_DiscreteSampling. If anyone wants it they can get it. I am not very good at coding so there is no guaranty.
Re: Spikes in measured Power when powering on emonTX
That should not happen - it looks as if the filters are not being initialised correctly, or your centre bias supply is way off. Do you have a line like this (+ 4 similar ones for each current input?)
static double offsetV = ADC_COUNTS>>1; //Low-pass filter output - start at half-rail, or zero if CT was not detected.
That sets the filter to what should be the normal quiescent working point of the input circuit (i.e. 0 if there is no CT, half-way if there is. If for some reason that is not working, the easy way is to not send the output for the first minute or so while the filters settle.
The temperature measuring should be in the next version, when I have time to fully test it! At present, I'm looking at the problem of retaining the sensor identities if one is replaced, and it's that which has held up progress.
Re: Spikes in measured Power when powering on emonTX
Yes I have lines like in the sketch like you describe. I think I will implement a waiting if the output is more than 13 amp.
Thanks again.
Re: Spikes in measured Power when powering on emonTX
You could do some deep debugging to find out why. "offset..." starts out at 512 and should end up at 512 if the bias network is absolutely spot on. It won't be of course. On my voltage channel, its been up to 519.7 - I guess that's due to a spike or asymmetry in the waveform - and seems to settle at around 513.3, while the current input (only 1 CT plugged in and not on a cable, so zero input) settles to 510.7, taking about 15 readings to get there.
It will make a difference to the power value of course, but it's the only way to compensate for varying bias conditions (due to temperature drift etc).
But your real problem is, if you're only reading up to 13 A with a 100 A input, you should really do something about that so that you use more of the available range, such as have a multi-turn primary winding for your CT, and then adjust the current calibration accordingly.


property¶
wrapper to specify read and write variable functionality using functions
template <typename Read, typename Write>
decltype(auto) property ( Read&& read_function, Write&& write_function );
template <typename Read>
decltype(auto) property ( Read&& read_function );
template <typename Write>
decltype(auto) property ( Write&& write_function );
These set of functions create a type which allows a setter and getter pair (or a single getter, or a single setter) to be used to create a variable that is either read-write, read-only, or write-only. When used during usertype construction, it will create a variable that uses the setter/getter member function specified.

First, please see the examples below to learn what is considered a good bounding box around an object.
- If you believe the blue box is not a good box around any object, you can click the 'Click here if not a good box' button.
If the blue box is good, please type in the name of the object within it:
- In general, the most 'basic' word that comes to mind is good: for example, 'chair', 'car', 'dog' are all good annotations
- As you type, the box may autocomplete to offer some suggestions.
- Do not be too vague: 'object' or 'thing' are not good annotations.
- Do not be too specific (unless you're sure): better to say 'cat' than to incorrectly label a 'Persian cat' as a 'Burmese cat'
- Do not enter profanity -- your work will be rejected.

[gecode-users] Freeze with MSVC 2015 optimized build

Hi Christian,
Thanks, this helps. This isn't urgent so I do not really need a fast
response.
I was trying to use the Qt installer but Qt does not seem to be visible
in the cygwin environment. I'll try the source package as you suggest,
that sounds better to me.
Have safe travels!
Cheers,
Filip

TMRC
`Prev `__

`Next `__
--------------
**TMRC**: /tmerk´/, n.
The Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT, one of the wellsprings of hacker
culture. The 1959 *Dictionary of the TMRC Language* compiled by Peter
Samson included several terms that became basics of the hackish
vocabulary (see esp. `*foo* <../F/foo.html>`__,
`*mung* <../M/mung.html>`__, and `*frob* <../F/frob.html>`__).
By 1962, TMRC's legendary layout was already a marvel of complexity and
has grown in the years since. All the features described here were still
present when the old layout was decommissioned in 1998 just before the
demolition of MIT Building 20, and will almost certainly be retained
when the old layout is rebuilt (expected in 2003). The control system
alone featured about 1200 relays. There were `*scram
switch* <../S/scram-switch.html>`__\ es located at numerous places
around the room that could be thwacked if something undesirable was
about to occur, such as a train going full-bore at an obstruction.
Another feature of the system was a digital clock on the dispatch board,
which was itself something of a wonder in those bygone days before cheap
LEDs and seven-segment displays. When someone hit a scram switch the
clock stopped and the display was replaced with the word ‘FOO’; at TMRC
the scram switches are therefore called foo switches.
Steven Levy, in his book *Hackers* (see the
`Bibliography <../pt03.html#bibliography>`__ in Appendix C), gives a
stimulating account of those early years. TMRC's Signals and Power
Committee included many of the early PDP-1 hackers and the people who
later became the core of the MIT AI Lab staff. Thirty years later that
connection is still very much alive, and this lexicon accordingly
includes a number of entries from a recent revision of the TMRC
dictionary.
TMRC has a web page at
`http://tmrc-www.mit.edu/ `__. The TMRC
Dictionary is available there, at

April 26, 2019
9:00AM
Very unusual formation for this time of
the year. In my 15 years of work in receiving from weather
satellites and predicting weather based on both traditional and
scientific ways, I have not seen this big a system in Bay of Bengal
in this season. With Agni Nakshathra starting May 4, this is a
shocker. In the last 60 years, such big cyclone has come only 4
times in this season.
As of now, the system is strenghthening into a cyclonic storm and is
poised to move north west towards North Tamil Nadu, Andhra Coast. I
will give it a low probability score as of now but if it happens, it
is going to be a very destructive one. We would be able to tell more
in due course. |
|
|
Dec 16, 2018
8:00 PM
The image itself is self explanatory.
Chennai should be getting intense wind and rain but it seems to
evade till now. |
|
|
Dec 16, 2018
9:00 AM
Fringes of the storm system has already
started entering Tamil Nadu as you can see. The system will slowly
move in in North westerly direction and provide lots of rain to
Chennai and other North Eastern districts of Tamil Nadu starting any
time. Good thing about this storm is that there will be good rain
but not much damage by wind. |
|
|
Dec 15, 2018
8:45 PM
The storm seems to faithfully follow the
arrow mark from Dec 14 image below. The eye is still several hundred
Kilometers away from Chennai. At present it appears to be headed our
way to Chennai or close by. Ominous - no doubt. |
|
|
Dec 15, 2018
6:45 AM
Early morning natural image - No
projection applied - that means the map appears to be twisted..This
how the satellite sees. The storm has started moving in the
direction I mentioned yesterday. Countdown for rain has started 1-2
days now. Hope it does not lose its strength! |
|
|
Dec 14, 2018
7:00 AM
Gleaming pink in the morning sun from the
east. The storm has moved north a little from yesterday.
Rains should start in 2-3 days. |
|
|
Dec 13, 2018
4:00 PM
Now we have a proper storm formation. Its
vortex is about 975 Kilometers South South-east of Chennai. Having
gathered strength, this qualifies to be called as a storm. This is
expected to move Northwest first and then turn north, travel along
the coast and cross over somewhere north of Chennai. Vizag probably.
Rains are possible for coastal regions, especially North East TN -
heavy and intermittent. I will be updating the progress every day.
|
|
|
Dec 12, 2018
9:00 AM
The waiting game continues. Chances are
becoming slim, with the cold wind blowing down.
Update 4:30 PM
Map on the right - Well, it is just playing around. Chances have
dramatically increased since morning! We have hot sea near Nellore
Chennai. |
|
|
Dec 11, 2018
9:00 AM
The storm system is intensifying but
showing no tendency of moving. For now, no rain in forecast for
Tamil Nadu. Ocean temperature distribution is conducive for the
storm to move towards Tamil Nadu around Srilanka. |
|
|
Dec 10, 2018
9:00 AM
There are indications of a proper storm
formation east of Srilanka. However, it remains to be seen what will
it do. In the meantime, there are chances for light showers in North
Eastern Tamil Nadu late this evening or night.
8:45 PM
Storm is intensifying. Good news. In all likelyhood it will move
northwest.
|
|
|
Dec 09, 2018
Looks like the long wait is over. This
appears to be a very promising formation right there in Bay of
Bengal. In a few days, we should get the much wanted rain.
|
|

Dec 07 2018
6:45AM

|
|
Dec 06, 9:15 AM
Terrific formation in Bay of Bengal but
for now, not much rain in prediction for Tamil Nadu. There are lot
of low clouds which means foggy conditions will prevail in many
places of
Tamil Nadu.
Image on the right is a full resolution image from Russian
Meteor-MN2. The yellow clouds are low ones. Dont go to Kodai Kanal
today. You wont be able to view the peaks. |
|
|
Dec 05, 2018
4:15PM
Lot of clouds but not all of them are wet. Season is not
over yet. More action possible in days to come. For now, rain for some eastern districts of
Tamil Nadu, again Delta region, Rameswaram, Tuticorin and
Kanyakumari. Chennai may get some drizzle /low intensity rain.
Winter evening - brighter clouds in the west.
Update 8:45PM
Formation of low pressure in Bay of Bengal which hopefully develops
well. |
|
|
Dec 04, 2018
9:16PM
Sun did come out in Chennai most of the day. There was no rain. Dry
spell to continue...Let us observe. We got 10 more days to go. If
there is no rain in this period, we are done for this season. |
|
|
Dec 04, 2018
6:30AM
Intermittent rain drizzles and sunshine for Chennai today. Rain
forecast for Nagapattinam and Delta region again. These will be
beneficial rains for rice crop though. |
|
|
Dec 03, 2018
4:45PM
Finally we are up to something. Rainfall prediction for coastal
districts of Tamil Nadu.
Chennai not exempt. Rains should start tonight / tomorrow morning. |
|
|
Dec 02, 2018
9:00AM
Looks like we arent going to get much
from this. Alas. |
|
|
Dec 01, 2018
9:00AM
Good News Chennai - Possibility of rain
in few days. The early setting of cool breeze (pani) is worrisome
though. This pani means end of season but nature has been kind
enough in the past. Hopefully this time too. |
|
|
Nov 24, 2018
4:30PM
Totally clean skies. There is still
possiblity of another storm. We just need to wait. |
|
|
Nov 22, 2018
9:00AM
Intermittent rain / drizzle to continue
in Chennai with occasional clear sky without clouds. There may be a
spell or two of moderate rains possible in the evening. |
|
|
Nov 20, 2018
8:15PM
No Significant movement (westwards) or
strengthening of the rain clouds since yesterday. Chennai did
receive isolated rainfalls. There is a possiblity of more rains
tonight / tomorrow. More rains expected in Nagapattinam area. |
|
|
Nov 19, 2018
8:15PM
Not a harsh storm but it is certainly
closing in to the coast of Tamil Nadu. We can expect some good
amount of Rain in northern part of the state, that is Chennai and
Pondicherry. We need the rain badly. |
|
|
NOV 18, 2018
8:30 PM
Perum puyal in
the making. Large storm in the making near Andaman Islands. This is
expected to get strenghened and move westwards to Tamil Nadu coast.
We would be able to pin point its course in couple of days.
|
|
|
Nov 16, 2018
9:15 AM
Gaja puyal has come inland completely
now. Rains possible - sometimes heavy in Districts Madurai down
south to Kanyakumari. Gaja will cross over to Arabian sea / Indian
Oceean and will get strengthened again and possibly move southwards
and then east and form another storm system near Srilanka. There is
another storm system forming south of Andaman Islands. Possibly,
remnants of Gaja and this will fuse and form a very big depression.
Action is still not over. Stay tuned. |
|
|
Nov 15, 2018
6:45 PM
Gaja has touched the land. There is no
going back now. As predicted widely, Heavy rains and wind expected
in the landfall region, which happens to be between Sirgazhi and
Nagapatinam south of Cudallore. Extremely heavy rains and wind speed
is expected in and around that area. Almost north east coast of
Tamil Nadu will get varying degree of rains, most intense in the
centre of the storm and lessening towards the periphery. |
|
|
Nov 14, 2018
8:00AM
The storm is moving slowly, it almost
appears as though it is stalled. Speed will increase when it nears
the land though.While predictors say that the storm will cross in
Cudallore or south, Chennai will be one of the first cities to
receive rains from it. The storm is in a weakened state. Expect
rains in Chennai tonight or later by mid day tomorrow. Shortly,
another storm will form in the Bay of Bengal. |
|
|
Nov 13, 2018
8:00AM
Gaja is still 600 Kms away from land. He
(Gaja) is now becoming Marjara (Yanai - poonai). |
|
|
Nov 12, 2018
06:30 PM
Gaja is too far away to tell rightnow
whether he will be a timid, tame gaja or a wild one. However, if you
ask me to bet, I will bet on the second - wild one. Gaja is too
sluggish and cant say rightnow where he will stampede. The cloudmass
looks like a rat though... |
|
|
Nov 12, 2018
12:30 PM
Apologies for the lapse of updates. My
main satellite antenna is on a "signal" strike....I have brought it
down for maintenance. By looking at the prevailing conditions in Bay
of Bengal, Gaja is certainly a big storm and is moving slowly. At
present, I am not for issuing any red alert situation. The movement
is still slow and it is too far off. There is some chance that it
will fizzle out in the sea. I hope that it doesnt die but come in
like a gentle breeze with lot of water and give a sustained rain to
Chennai and Tamil Nadu for 2-3 days. Chenai folks, uwopalsuj,
infrastructure, everything is in a fragile state. We dont want wind
do we? I will give further updates in due course. |
Sorry for not providing a map today. Please look at the many sources
of maps available on the internet.
|
|
Nov 7, 2018
9:00 AM
Most activity is in the southern part of
Tamil Nadu but conditions near the coast of Andhra and Orissa are
suitable for the cloud system to move / form northwards. Still I
hold on to the prediction of enough good rains here. |
|
|
Nov 6, 2018
9:00 AM
On Diwali day, it is crisp sunshine in
most of Tamil Nadu. Conditions are ripe for creation of low pressure
in Bay of Bengal. |
|
|
Nov 1, 2018
8:15 PM
Dinosaur coming to Chennai...Zoom and
See. Heavy rains tonight. No doubt. |
|
|
Nov 1, 2018
9:00 AM
At Chennai, weather will remain clear
mostly today with even ocassional sun shine. Drizzles possible.
Madurai, down south to Kanyakumari may receive moderate - heavy
rains. Rains possible in Pondicherry, Cudallore, Tuticorin and
Rameswaram |
|
|
Oct 31, 2018
9:30 AM
Presenting a very "raw" high resolution
image from the Russian Meteor-MN2 satellite. The image speaks for
itself - how the weather patterns are going to be for Tamil Nadu.
Sporadic rain in many places and some places on the east coast will
get good rainfall.
If you zoom, you can see beautiful Cauvery river flowing in full
with all the rains in Kerala and filled dams draning water into the
river. Its a beautiful sight.
Update 4:00PM
Rain will continue for a while - tonight in Chennai and suburbs.
Tomorrow it may be sunny. |
|
|
Oct 30, 2018
4:30 PM
Image from NOAA-19 shows a good strom
formation in Bay of Bengal. It is not strong right now but I expect
the system to get strengthened. As of now, we can say sporadic
rains, sometimes moderate - heavy possible in Chennai and Eastern
Tamil Nadu - also Andhra Coast. |
|
|
Oct 26,2018
9:30 AM
Conditions are becoming more and more
conducive for NE Monsoon to begin. Its time to wait for the usual
November rains. |
|
|
Oct 21, 2018
4:30 PM
Possibility of moderate -intense rains in Chennai this evening
- starting any time now. South West has just relented...It is time
for action in Bay of Bengal from now. Prediction from previous days
holds good - Possibility of intense strom formation south east of
Chennai in the near future. |
|
|
Oct 17,
2018
9:00 AM
Rain clouds nearing Chennai and coastal Tamil Nadu. This is not a
full fledged storm system but there is a possibility of copious
rain. Conditions are rife for formation of big storm system SE of
Chennai. |
|
|
Oct 15,
2018
4:00 PM
Chances for Chennai - rain in couple of days. Possiblities of rain
in southern districts again. Apart from the above, no significant
development. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oct 11,
2018
4:45 PM
Storm Crossing the coast - Orissa Andhra
Border. Otherwise, there is nothing much significant in this
observation. There is a chance of another storm system forming south
east of Chennai. |
|
|
Oct 10, 2018
8:45 PM
Storm appears to be headed to the space
between Vishakapatnam and Bhuvaneswar. No Major climatic event to
predict for Tamil Nadu. Madras will be muggy and hot as usual. More
the muggier, more the rain later. |
|
|
Oct 9, 2018
4:00 AM
Not much change from yesterday. With this
formation, we can say that NE has "officially" started. Except for
sporadic light rains no much activity is expected. Some portions of
South Tamil Nadu may experience moderate to heavy spells of rain. |
|
|
Oct 8, 2018
9:00 AM
Huge Storm stacking up about 800
Kilometers directly east of Chennai. My job will be to track that
storm and how it holds up in the next couple of days. My guess, it
will move west fast. Today, the challenge was interference between
two satellites transmitting just 1 Kilo Hertz apart - one, NOAA18 an
American Satellite and Meteor MN2, a Russian satellite. I still
managed to capture portions of images from both satellites. American
sat beat Russian one in terms of signal - small bandwidth. For
now, drizzles to Moderate rain possible on the East Coast of Tamil
Nadu. |
|
|
Oct 7, 2018
9:15 AM
Formation of a system near Andamans.
Apart from that, no heavy rain forecast immediately, except for
southern Tamil Nadu. Stay tuned. |
|
|
Oct 6, 2018
9:15 AM
Image received at my radio station just
now. Weather expected to be mostly clear over TN and Kerala for now,
with possiblity of sporadic rain. Thiruchirappalli, Thanjavur and
Madurai. Stay tuned for more updates. |
|
|
Oct 5, 2018
4:00PM
No imminent threat of excessive rain for entire Tamil Nadu.
Possibility of rain for interior districts of Tamil Nadu – Tiruchi,
Thanjavur down up to Madurai. Heavy rain warning for Pondicherry and
Cudallore.
Update 9:01 PM
The image on the right is Infra Red image from the Russian Meteor
M-N2 satellite. |
|
|
Oct 4, 2018
4:45PM
Current situation does not appear to qualify as a "RED ALERT" as
issued by the METs. There will be rains - lot of it probably tonight
and tomorrow in Chennai and Pondicherry though.
Kerala, beware. beware.... |
|
|
Oct 3, 2018
4:45PM
Chances of rain for entire Tamil Nadu. Cauvery Delta region will
receive moderate rain tonight and tomorrow. I can see the patterns
exactly similar to what we saw in 2015. We should be receiving more
rains than 2015 - may be much much heavier 2015. Hope it does not
turn out to be as bad as Kerala. Prediction of extreme rain is not
for now.... Could happen in few weeks to one month from now. My
prediction was on May 28, 2018 for Kerala- you can see down below in
this page.
Update : Oct 4, 2018 11:30 AM
The winds that blew in Chennai last night is an indication that
there heavy rain is expected very shortly - 1 or two days.
Pondicherry and Cudallore are already getting heavy rains
|
|
|
Oct 1, 2018
9:15AM
More rains for Kerala at this time. Rains
will start by evening or tonight. Southern districts of Tamil Nadu
and Sri Lanka to receive rains.
Click the image to view in high resolution. Image was received from
Meteor MN2 Russian satellite at VU2OW station. |
|
|
September 24, 28
4:00 PM
mmm.... strange weather pattern for this
time of the year. When we are expecting NE to start, we still have
clouds coming in from Arabian sea. Entire west coast of India south
of Gujarat will get more rains. Kerala will get another good spell
of rains. Madurai and Southern districts in Tamil Nadu may get rains
too. |
|
|
September 24, 18
9:15 PM
More Rain woes for Kerala. |
|
|
September 21, 18
8:15 AM
The storm has moved inland. Interior
districts, particularly Nagpur and sorrounding areas and Hyderabad
will get lot of rain. |
|
|
September 19, 18
8:15 PM
Nothing much for Tamil Nadu as of now,
except for some parts of North Chennai which may get moderate rains.
There may be sporadic drizzle to moderate rain in other areas.
Pattern is very similar to 2015!! |
|
|
September 17, 18
4:00 PM
As said yesterday, the rain clouds moved
to Andhra Coast. For now, there are low clouds over most of TN.
These are rain spoilers. It will be few more days of wait now. |
|
|
September 16, 18
4:30 PM
Some significant events have started
happening in Bay of Bengal. Chances of low to moderate rain in
Chennai and north Andra Coastal regions. Stay tuned for more
updates. |
|
|
July 13, 2018
9:15 AM
No signs of NE monsoon abating as rains
are pounding Cauvery Catchment areas. This means more water for
Mettur as Kabini and other reservoirs are full capacity and there is
a threat to their stability.
This is a raw image from the satellite. High resolution. click,
enlarge and enjoy. This image is from Meteor MN2, a Russian
satellite. The Infra Red component of the transmission has stopped
coming from this satellite and hence rain enhancement is poor. Blue
clouds however indicate regions where heavy rains are expected. They
are high and water laden clouds. |
|
|
July 3, 2018
9:15 AM
As you can see from the image, most of
India is receiving rain, except Tamil Nadu. This will reduce in the
next few days. More water expected to fill up in Karnataka dams as
Cauvery catchment area continues to receive rain. The monsoon has
now reached nortern states too. Chennai will remain bright and clear
today with possiblity of spells of rain in the evening/night. Light
rain.
|
|
|
June 8, 2018
9:15 AM
Heavy rainfall was reported from Bombay
as per yesterdays prediction. Rains today in Kolhapur, Hubli and
down south to Mangalore, where it will be moderate. Moderate rains
expected in Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu and slight rains in
Kerala. Chennai will remain mostly bright today with possiblity of
light thunder rains today evening. Next storm formation may be near
Srilanka. |
|
|
June 7, 2018
9:15 AM
Moderate rainfall expected over South
Kerala and Coastal Karnataka. Intense rain over Bombay, Pune and
suburbs. Tamil Nadu - most of it, is expected to be hot and sultry
with possiblity of intermittent short spells of rain. At Chennai,
clouds will clear out over the day and there is a possiblity of
spells of rain in the evening.
This image was received by me this morning at my weathe station from
Meteor M2, an ageing Russian met satellite. |
|
|
May 29, 2018
9:15 AM
Monsoon intensifying over Kerala and
Karnataka coast. Rainfall expected in Coastal Kerala, Karnataka and
some Southern districts of Tamil Nadu. Heat wave may continue in
Chennai and East coast of Tamil Nadu with possiblity of rain in the
evenings with thunder and lightning.
Update 4:15 PM
Mangalore City to watch for heavy rain starting this evening. |
|
May 28, 2018
4:15 PM
First image of this year. South West
monsoon has just taken effect in the Arabian Sea as you can see.
Widespread rains are expected in parts of Kerala and some interior
districts in Tamil Nadu and Bangalore, Mysore cities. Indications
are that this monsoon will bring widespread and extremely
heavy/devastating rains in coastal
Karnataka and Kerala, atleast in this initial phase which is a good
sign for water flow in Cauvery river as the catchment areas will
receive good rain. As Agninakshathra is coming to an end, there may
be a token rain today or tomorrow at Chennai. |

9/10 - Alternative rating: A -
While everyone were praising "Titanic" , greater and far more important films slipped by, overseen and underrated. Amistad was one of them. Unfairly compared to box-busters, Amistad is one of the best films of the year.
Set in 1839, Amistad tells the true story about a group African natives imprisoned on a Spanish slave ship La Amistad. Led by the lion-hearted Cinque (Djimon Honsou), they take control of the vessel, killing most of the crew. Uncertain how to make they way back to Africa, they put their trust on two surviving Spaniards. But the clever slave traders outsmart them and La Amistad makes its way northward to United States. Here the Africans are captured and imprisoned, charged with piracy and murder.
The christian abolitionist Lewis Tappan (Stellan Skarsgard) and ), an ex-slave Theodore Joadson (Morgan Freeman), are the first men who come to the Africans' aid. These two men receive assistance from Roger Baldwin (Mathew McConaghey), an property attorney and former president John Quincey Adams (Anthony Hopkins). However powerful forces are against them. Current President Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorn), eager to please the Southern voters, and the 11-year old Queen Isabella of Spain (Anna Paquin) start complotting against the abolitionists to ensure that the Africans never go free.
Steven Spielberg directs with wonderful precision and passion from the opening to the closing shot, bringing in the horrible reality and a powerful sense of importance.
The film begins with a masterful close-up on bloodied fingers, lit up by the bolts of lightening, trying to scratch free a bolt holding the chains to the deck. The brutal and violent mutiny that follows is more than balanced by Spielberg's honest and terrifying flashback sequence later in the film, describing the horrors and inhuman suffering of everyday life on a slave ship.
Spielberg doesn't hold back anything and directs with incredible visdome and deep understanding:under a rain of blood, surrounded by pain and screams, a mother holding a child jumps overboard, choosing a life in death, rather than a death in life; I doubt that anyone will forget the helpless men and women chained to rocks and thrown overboard, because the crew has underestimated the provisions.
However this uncovered and honest flashback is also the most intense and emotional sequence in the film, as the picture suffers from the lack of emotional resonance and immediacy. There are some moments in Amistad that resemble a dry history lesson, although an important one.
With bitter irony Spielberg named the ship La Amistad, meaning friendship. The Africans understand their trial as we would understand a trial on Mars. And the film has many humorous scenes shown from the Africans's point of view, such as their view on the christians (who they call singers) and on the American legal system.
The cast is solid and effective, involving some of the most famous stars of Hollywood.Morgan Freeman plays an ex-slave that has devoted his entire life to the abolition of slavery. Freeman doesn't know how to disappoint, and the only regret is that there is very little time granted on his character. Mathew McConaghey's character is a bit like Oscar Schindler in "Schindler's List".He was looking at slaves as property and was only interested in how to win the case, and how to gain money from it. Throughout the movie however, he gets more human, when he realizes what he is fighting for. Anthony Hopkins delivers one of his best performances. Hi has painted a sensational portrait of a man that is fighting his age, his reputation and his legacy to accomplish something good, something he truly believes in -- before he dies.
But the film's best performance comes from the newcomer Djimon Honsou , who brings a wonderful sense of dignity, quite strength and touching vulnerability to his role as the unofficial leader for the Africans. During the whole film he speaks only 5 words in English, and jet, we understand everything he is saying, because the words come from the heart and not from the mind.
The visual perfection of the film is as staggering as the direction.
Janusz Kaminski's wonderful cinematography resembles the paintings of Goya - muted to tones and low on colors and lighting. Rick Carter's marvelous and detailed production design and Ruth E. Carter's costumes re-create the historical period. John Williams' deep, emotional and occasionally terrifying musical score, including African quire and folk songs is probably the finest composition of the year.
Amistad is a finely crafted drama that explores, better than any film to date, the injuries, the injustices and the horrors of slavery. Equally important to our understanding of slavery as "Schindler's List" was to holocaust.

2019 LA Auto Show: Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion — A Fun EV Wagon
The press days for the 2019 LA Auto Show are now over and the public days are underway. So since we’re finally home and back …
by Nico DeMattiaOne of the more interesting cars to debut at the 2019 LA Auto Show was the all-new Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion. Oddball name aside, the Space Vizzion is an all-electric wagon with an eye on fun and urban mobility. While that’s not the most exciting sounding car in the world, we love the idea of automakers coming out with more fun wagons, especially electric ones.
The Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion is based on the VW Group’s all-electric architecture, dubbed MEB. Get his, this new all-electric Volkswagen wagon is rear-wheel drive. It comes with a single electric motor at the rear axle that makes about 275 hp. That won’t impress any Tesla fans but it’s more than enough to be fun. Plus, this is a family wagon, not a performance car. So who cares if it’s only reasonably quick?
While there’s no exact range, as it’s just a concept and not a production car rated by the EPA, it’s said to have a maximum of about 300 miles of range. That’s more than enough for a family hauler and should be perfectly realistic by the time it debuts.
Its really good, too. In keeping with the rest of the brand’s electric concepts, the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion is a really cool looking wagon with a largely white/black color scheme, futuristic design elements and a really cool wagon shape.
More interesting than its exterior looks, though, is its interior design. It seems as if Volkswagen out-Tesla’d Tesla. Its minimalist but also very high-tech. It’s simple but premium feeling. Whereas a Model 3 feels empty, the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion feels rich from the inside, despite being minimalist. Also, its massive touchscreen infotainment system is clearly inspired by Tesla’s but it does it better than the Silicon Valley brand. Its interface is more logically laid out and menus are easier to find and navigate/ Sitting in it was actually one of my highlights from the auto show.
Cars like the Volkswagen ID Space Vizzion are what make us optimistic about the future of electric vehicles and we can’t wait for the final production version.
