LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH (Liebe ist kälter als der Tod) (1969)
Rating = *** out of ******
Stockholm Film Review (http://www.reviewfilm.com)
In 1969, the Western world was in turmoil. The Vietnam war had poisoned U.S. politics - events like the My Lai massacre, the Tet offensive and the shootings at Kent State university fuelled an already burgeoning counter-culture movement. In Europe, students had taken to the streets in France (the so-called chienlit), Germany was divided by the Iron Curtain and Warsaw Pact tanks had savagely crushed the Prague Spring. The movie world was feeling the whiff of revolution too. Bonny and Clyde (1967) had already signalled that a change was coming.
In 1969, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda would make Easy Rider and Sam Peckinpah would release The Wild Bunch. Directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, William Friedkin, Peter Bogdanovich and many others were on the verge of redefining American cinema. Many of these new directors were inspired by the French New Wave, the term describing the group of French directors who came to prominence in the late Fifties and early Sixties. Directors such as Francois Trauffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle, Claude Chabrol and Erich Rohmer made movies which gave rise to the auteur theory; the notion that the director was the most important influence on a movie (as distinct from the producer, the actors or even the writers). In Germany, a young film-maker was similarly inspired by the New Wave directors. His name was Rainer Werner Fassbinder and he announced himself to the world at the 1969 Berlin Film festival with Liebe ist kälter als der Tod. The movie got a very lukewarm reception at the festival, though it didn't put Fassbinder off movie-making.
Liebe ist kälter als der Tod is dedicated to Rohmer and Chabrol, and a minor (female) character in the film is called Erika Rohmer, just in case we missed the introduction to the film. The film itself is a very low-budget black and white production with atrocious sound quality (not such a problem if you're reading the subtitles), indifferent production values and several examples of very bad acting indeed. The movie opens with a bunch of gangsters under interrogation. Their inquisitors are not the police, but a crime syndicate who want to recruit the unwilling gangsters into the organisation, and intend to brutalise them until they acquiesce.
Two of the criminals strike up a friendship. Franz (Fassbinder) is a pimp in Munich while Bruno (Ulli Lommel) is from a provincial town. Franz is disdainful of the syndicate and tells Bruno to contact him when they are released. Some days later, Bruno arrives at Franz' address and meets his girlfriend, a prostitute called Johanna (Hanna Schygulla). Franz is keeping a low profile because another pimp, the Turk, is trying to kill him. At Bruno's urging, they devise a plan to retaliate first (in a manner of speaking) by eliminating the Turk. This plan leads to a much higher body count than expected, and proves that Bruno is a ruthless killer. even though Franz is impressed by his resolute manner, Johanna distrusts him deeply. She fears him not just because he seems to have taken a proprietary interest in her, but also his ambition could get both herself and Franz killed. She becomes increasingly apprehensive when Bruno decides to rob a bank with Franz.
Next paragraph (between the ****) contains spoiler information. Page down for the rest of the spoiler-free review.
Johanna's fears seem to be realised when Bruno, having killed one of Johanna's clients, meets a man in a games arcade. They speak in a coded manner, but it is obvious that they are both part of the crime syndicate featured at the beginning of the movie. Bruno instructs the other man to make sure that Johanna does not survive the robbery attempt. At the beginning of the film, the syndicate had threatened Franz by speculating about his girlfriend, but he had not wavered. They had presumably decided that a more subtle approach was necessary. Their presumption is that, once Johanna is gone, Franz will join his new 'friend' in the syndicate. However, Johanna has also planned ahead. When they arrive at the bank, there are men loitering about outside. They are policemen, who mortally wound Bruno in a shoot-out. Franz drags him into the car, but Bruno is already dead. Franz is forced to dump his body out of the car to halt the chasing police. Johanna admits that she called the police, intending to prevent the robbery. She has unwittingly saved her own life (and probably Franz' too) but he calls her 'whore', believing her to have betrayed his trusted friend. She was prepared to see her lover go to prison than be killed in a robbery, but, at the end of the film, they drive into an uncertain future, and Johanna's sacrifice goes unrecognised.
Is this film any good ? Well, it certainly establishes some of the themes that would occupy Fassbinder during his professional life. There is a definite sense of style (though the fixed camera position for almost every shot suggests a budget limitation more than anything else). Hanna Schygulla is clearly star-material she is positively brimming with confidence and charisma - she would be Fassbinder's muse in many subsequent movies. Fassbinder doesn't do so bad himself as Franz, but Ulli Lommel's performance as Bruno is completely ludicrous - his inability to convey any emotion with conviction and his appearance (trilby, trenchcoat and sunglasses are straight out of the Forties) are more likely to induce sniggers. Fassbinder had a lot to learn about directing too - many of the scenes are far too amateurish, particularly the gangster scenes. The climactic scene at the bank is simply terrible. Some scenes provoke laughter - the appearance of a black American gangster's at the beginning of the film is both incongruous and unintentionally hilarious. A supposedly erotic scene between Bruno and a woman on a train is even worse. It's not surprising that the film got the cold shoulder in Berlin, particularly when compared to U.S. independent films.
As an introduction to Fassbinder's oeuvre, "Liebe ist..." is a good example of the ideas that he would explore in later (and better made) movies. His art-house techniques, melodramatic story and unconventional plots are all explored here, though the theme of betrayal and loyalty is perhaps more personal than some of his later, more thematic movies. Fassbinder's reach clearly exceeds his grasp here and the lack of money shines through - scenes where the film equipment accidentally appears in view , or the actors don't perform remain in the movie, suggesting that Fassbinder couldn't afford reshoots. His technique suffered from the budget restrictions too - he favours sparse dialogue and long pauses to punctuate the action, and the poor production values tend to be distracting to the audience. Still, he signalled his ambition, and would establish his reputation within a few years (and retains that reputation ever since).
Two of Fassbinder's contemporaries, Wolfgang Petersen and Roland Emmerich earn their living in Hollywood these days. Petersen has forsaken the gritty and gripping realism of Das Boot (1981) for more mainstream fare such as Outbreak (1995) and In the Line of Fire (1993). Emmerich is Mr. Mainstream, who with Dean Devlin, has produced summer blockbusters such as Stargate (1994), Independence Day (1996) and the god-awful Godzilla (1998). It is doubtful that Fassbinder, had he not died of a drugs overdose in 1982) would have made the same transition. Though he turned to more accessible, English-language films towards the end of his life (he died at the age of 37), it is hard to envisage him devoting his talent to glossy superficial work - he was too much of an individualist for that.

“They shooked hands,” said Bruno, who was trotting at my side, in answer to the unspoken question.
“And they looked ever so pleased!” Sylvie added from the other side.
“Well, we must get on, now, as quick as we can,” I said. “If only I knew the best way to Hunter’s farm!”
“They’ll be sure to know in this cottage,” said Sylvie.
“Yes, I suppose they will. Bruno, would you run in and ask?”
 “Wait a minute,” she said. “I must make you visible first, you know.”
“And audible too, I suppose?” I said, as she took the jewel, that hung round her neck, and waved it over his head, and touched his eyes and lips with it.
“Yes,” said Sylvie: “and once, do you know, I made him audible, and forgot to make him visible! And he went to buy some sweeties in a shop. And the man was so frightened! A voice seemed to come out of the air, ‘Please, I want two ounces of barley-sugar drops!’ And a shilling came bang down upon the counter! And the man said ‘I ca’n’t see you!’ And Bruno said ‘It doosn’t sinnify seeing me, so long as oo can see the shilling!’ But the man said he never sold barley-sugar drops to people he couldn’t see. So we had to—Now, Bruno, you’re ready!” And away he trotted.
Sylvie spent the time, while we were waiting for him, in making herself visible also. “It’s rather awkward, you know,” she explained to me, “when we meet people, and they can see one of us, and ca’n’t see the other!”
In a minute or two Bruno returned, looking rather disconsolate. “He’d got friends with him, and he were cross!” he said. “He asked me who I were. And I said ‘I’m Bruno: who is these peoples?’ And he said ‘One’s my half-brother, and “‘other’s my half-sister: and I don’t want no more company! Go along with yer!’ And I said ‘I ca’n’t go along wizout mine self!’ And I said ‘Oo shouldn’t have bits of peoples lying about like that! It’s welly untidy!’ And he said ‘Oh, don’t talk to me!’ And he pushted me outside! And he shutted the door!”
“And you never asked where Hunter’s farm was?” queried Sylvie.
“Hadn’t room for any questions,” said Bruno. “The room were so crowded.”
“Three people couldn’t crowd a room,” said Sylvie.
“They did, though,” Bruno persisted. “He crowded it most.
I failed to see the drift of Bruno’s argument. “Surely anybody could be knocked down,” I said: “thick or thin wouldn’t matter.”
“Oo couldn’t knock him down,” said Bruno. “He’s more wide than he’s high: so, when he’s lying down he’s more higher than when he’s standing: so a-course oo couldn’t knock him down!”
“Here’s another cottage,” I said: “I’ll ask the way, this time.”
There was no need to go in, this time, as the woman was standing in the doorway, with a baby in her arms talking to a respectably dressed man—a farmer, as I guessed—who seemed to be on his way to the town.
“—and when there’s drink to be had,” he was saying, “he’s just the worst o’ the lot, is your Willie. So they tell me. He gets fairly mad wi’ it!”
“I’d have given ‘em the lie to their faces, a twelve-month back!” the woman said in a broken voice. “But a’ canna noo! A’ canna noo!” She checked herself on catching sight of us, and hastily retreated into the house shutting the door after her.
“Perhaps you can tell me where Hunter’s farm is?” I said to the man, as he turned away from the house.
“I can that, Sir!” he replied with a smile. “I’m John Hunter hissel, at your service. It’s nobbut half a mile further—the only house in sight, when you get round bend o’ the road yonder. You’ll find my good woman within, if so be you’ve business wi’ her. Or mebbe I’ll do as well?”
“Thanks,” I said. “I want to order some milk. Perhaps I had better arrange it with your wife?”
“Aye,” said the man. “She minds all that. Good day t’ye, Master—and to your bonnie childer, as well!” And he trudged on.
“He should have said ‘child’, not ‘childer’,” said Bruno. “Sylvie’s not a childer!”
“He meant both of us,” said Sylvie.
“No, he didn’t!” Bruno persisted. “ ‘cause he said ‘bonnie’, oo know!”
“Well, at any rate he looked at us both,” Sylvie maintained.
“Well, then he must have seen we’re not both bonnie!” Bruno retorted. “A-course I’m much uglier than oo! Didn’t he mean Sylvie, Mister Sir?” he shouted over his shoulder, as he ran off.
But there was no use in replying, as he had already vanished round the bend of the road. When we overtook him he was climbing a gate, and was gazing earnestly into the field, where a horse, a cow, and a kid were browsing amicably together. “For its father, a Horse,” he murmured to himself. “For its mother, a Cow.  I pondered. “Yes, I suppose every child has a world of his own—and every man, too, for the matter of that. I wonder if that’s the cause for all the misunderstanding there is in Life?”
“That must be Hunter’s farm!” said Sylvie, pointing to a house on the brow of the hill, led up to by a cart-road. “There’s no other farm in sight, this way; and you said we must be nearly there by this time.”
I had thought it, while Bruno was climbing the gate, but I couldn’t remember having said it. However, Sylvie was evidently in the right. “Get down, Bruno,” I said, “and open the gate for us.”
“It’s a good thing we’s with oo, isn’t it, Mister Sir?” said Bruno, as we entered the field. “That big dog might have bited oo, if oo’d been alone! Oo needn’t be frightened of it!” he whispered, clinging tight to my hand to encourage me. “It aren’t fierce!”
“Fierce!”  “Fierce! Why, it’s as gentle as a lamb! It’s— why, Bruno, don’t you know? It’s ”
“So it are!” cried Bruno, rushing forwards and throwing his arms round its neck. “Oh, you dear dog!” And it seemed as if the two children would never have done hugging and stroking it.
“And how ever did he get here?” said Bruno. “Ask him, Sylvie. I doosn’t know how.”
And then began an eager talk in Doggee, which of course was lost upon me; and I could only guess, when the beautiful creature, with a sly glance at me, whispered something in Sylvie’s ear, that I was now the subject of conversation. Sylvie looked round laughingly.
“He asked me who you are,” she explained. “And I said ’He’s our friend’. And he said ‘What’s his name?’ And I said ‘It’s Mister Sir’. And he said ‘Bosh!’ ”
“What is ‘Bosh!’ in Doggee,” I enquired.
“It’s the same as in English,” said Sylvie.  Nero, say ’Bosh!’ “
And Nero, who had now begun gamboling round us again, said “Bosh!” several times; and I found that Sylvie’s description of the sound was perfectly accurate.
“I wonder what’s behind this long wall?” I said, as we walked on.
“It’s the Orchard,” Sylvie replied, after a consultation with Nero. “See, there’s a boy getting down off the wall, at that far corner. And now he’s running away across the field. I do believe he’s been stealing the apples!”
Bruno set off after him, but returned to us in a few moments, as he had evidently no chance of overtaking the young rascal.
“I couldn’t catch him!” he said. “I wiss I’d started a little sooner.
The Dog-King looked up at Sylvie, and said something in Doggee.
“Why, of course you can!” Sylvie exclaimed.  Nero’ll hold him for us, Bruno! But I’d better make him invisible, first.” And she hastily got out the Magic Jewel, and began waving it over Nero’s head, and down along his back.
“That’ll do!” cried Bruno, impatiently. “After him, good Doggie!”
“Oh, Bruno!” Sylvie exclaimed reproachfully. “You shouldn’t have sent him off so quick! I hadn’t done the tail!”
Meanwhile Nero was coursing like a greyhound down the field: so at least I concluded from all I could see of him—the long feathery tail, which floated like a meteor through the air—and in a very few seconds he had come up with the little thief.
“He’s got him safe, by one foot!” cried Sylvie, who was eagerly watching the chase. “Now there’s no hurry, Bruno!”
So we walked, quite leisurely, down the field, to where the frightened lad stood. A more curious sight I had seldom seen, in all my “eerie” experiences. Every bit of him was in violent action, except the left foot, which was apparently glued to the ground—there being nothing visibly holding it: while, at some little distance, the long feathery tail was waving gracefully from side to side, showing that Nero, at least, regarded the whole affair as nothing but a magnificent game of play.
“What’s the matter with you?” I said, as gravely as I could.
“Got the crahmp in me ahnkle!” the thief groaned in reply. “An’ me fut’s gone to sleep!” And he began to blubber aloud.
“Now, look here!” Bruno said in a commanding tone, getting in front of him. “Oo’ve got to give up those apples!
The lad glanced at me, but didn’t seem to reckon my interference as worth anything. Then he glanced at Sylvie: she clearly didn’t count for very much, either. Then he took courage. “It’ll take a better man than any of yer to get ‘em!” he retorted defiantly.
Sylvie stooped and patted the invisible Nero. “A little tighter!” she whispered. And a sharp yell from the ragged boy showed how promptly the Dog-King had taken the hint.
“What’s the matter now?” I said.
Apparently the thief was convinced of this at last, and he sulkily began emptying his pockets of the apples. The children watched from a little distance, Bruno dancing with delight at every fresh yell extracted from Nero’s terrified prisoner.
“That’s all,” the boy said at last.
“It isn’t all!” cried Bruno. “There’s three more in that pocket!”
Another hint from Sylvie to the Dog-King—another sharp yell from the thief, now convicted of lying also— and the remaining three apples were surrendered.
“Let him go, please,” Sylvie said in Doggee, and the lad limped away at a great pace, stooping now and then to rub the ailing ankle in fear, seemingly, that the “crahmp” might attack it again.
Bruno ran back, with his booty, to the orchard wall, and pitched the apples over it one by one. “I’s welly afraid some of them’s gone under the wrong trees!” he panted, on overtaking us again.
“The wrong trees!” laughed Sylvie. “Trees ca’n’t do wrong! There’s no such things as wrong trees!”
“Then there’s no such things as right trees, neither!” cried Bruno. And Sylvie gave up the point.
“Wait a minute, please!” she said to me. “I must make Nero visible, you know!”
“No, please don’t!” cried Bruno, who had by this time mounted on the Royal back, and was twisting the Royal hair into a bridle. “It’ll be such fun to have him like this!”
“Well, it does look funny,” Sylvie admitted, and led the way to the farm-house, where the farmer’s wife stood, evidently much perplexed at the weird procession now approaching her. “It’s summat gone wrong wi’ my spectacles, I doubt!” she murmured, as she took them off, and began diligently rubbing them with a corner of her apron.
Meanwhile Sylvie had hastily pulled Bruno down from his steed, and had just time to make His Majesty, wholly visible before the spectacles were resumed.
All was natural, now; but the good woman still looked a little uneasy about it. “My eyesight’s getting bad,” she said, “but I see you now, my darlings! You’ll give me a kiss, won’t you?”
Bruno got behind me, in a moment: however Sylvie put up her face, to be kissed, as representative of both, and we all went in together.

Release notes#
v1.0.0#
Initial release! This update transitions pyRT_DISORT into a must lighter package that integrates with numpy/scipy, instead of wrapping that functionality into a framework. The entire API is new, so be sure to check out the API page for more details.
v0.0.4#
This update continues documentation tweaks and incorporates bug fixes from Mike that will make rover retrievals possible.
Add a CITATION.cff file so we can be cited.
Change the emission angles so they accept angles from 0 to 180 degrees, instead of 0 to 90 degrees. Update the documentation on this.
Change incidence angles to only be from 0 to 90 degrees. Remove warning for angles >90 degrees. Update the documentation on this.
Add the Henyey Greenstein asymmetry parameter to the forward scattering properties.
Add a “docs” option to the installation script for help when making documentation.
Add matplotlib extensions to conf.py to allow for future uses of pyplots.
Update the documentation to use the pydata theme, instead of Read the Docs theme. This new theme is much cleaner.
v0.0.3#
This update was focused on documentation tweaks and ease of use.
Change the package name from pyRT_DISORT to pyrt. This should make it less cumbersome to import the package. This had a secondary effect of being Sphinx-compatible with autodoc. See this issue for details.
All documentation now correctly display the package structure in the call signatures.
Update the examples to reflect this new renaming scheme.
Update the rover angles example. Most of that example will overlap with the spacecraft example so it wasn’t a well conceived idea.
Update the grammar used in the spacecraft retrieval to sound less like a closet hillbilly.
v0.0.2#
This version was focused on improving the observation module.
Change observation.Angles to accept a different call signature, grouping the incident beam together instead of phi and phi0 together.
Remove the incidence and emission properties from Angles, as it’s just a copy of the input to the class.
Remove the short and long wavelength properties from Spectral, for the same reasons described above.
Import all functions / classes in the global namespace for ease of use.
Update documentation page on the observation module to be more like numpy. Now, the module has its own “home” page and each public class and function has its own page.
Add a link to the quasi-source code in the signature of each class and function.
Angles and Spectral now both contain __str__ and __repr__ methods.
All classes and functions in the observation module now accept ArrayLike inputs, instead of strictly requiring ndarrays.
Improved error handling by creating a number of abstract arrays to validate inputs.
Improved docstring for the Angles class.
Improved descriptions in the examples.
Minor speed and memory improvements when using this module.

Nutmeg |
(ground / crushed) |
PRELUDE
About a month ago during the easter break from university I was sat at home and had just finished all my weed. Living in the middle of the countryside its hard to get drugs when I go home, so I thought about alternatives. I had read that I could get high off Nutmeg so I thought 'oh, well, go on then'. I swallowed about 8 grams and bonged about 4 bowls (didnt burn well and seemed to have no effect). The effect was mildly pleasant, a bit like smoking a joint of weak weed.
1st taken - 12.00pm
About two weeks ago, I decided that I would try and up the dose. The night before I had taken quite a lot of ecstacy at a club and the comedown was quite bad. I went to the local supermarket and bought 200g of fresh ground nutmeg (cost £2.20). When I got home I told one of my uni housemates what I had in mind and he just laughed at me (still wanted to join in though). First of all I got a tablespoon and crammed on as much as possible. I tried to swallow the nutmeg by taking it with an orange drink. I managed it but the taste was so so bad, putrid, revolting, etc. From this point on we wrapped the nutmeg into large blue rizla papers and washed them down with water. I did about 16 of these and my mate did 12.
+1.30
After about an hour and a half I started to feel a little different. I asked myself if it was placebo effect. It was hard to describe and was probably combined with the after effects of the mdma (or whatever else the pills had in them). I quite often would drop a few more wraps every now and again, as I thought it would be quite mild. MISTAKE!!
+3.00
After about 3 hours it fully began to kick in. It began by feeling a little like being stoned but grew greatly in intensity. Several friends called by and were thoroughly shocked when I said I was on nutmeg. They said I looked particularly wasted.
I wouldn't say that the nutmeg was hallucinogenic but I would say that my vision was altered mildly. I have to say that up to this point I was thoroughly enjoying myself, watching TV was really good fun and I seemed to be able to get into the plot easily. Music sounded more grandiose (found Holst's PLANETS to be awesome).
+5.00 hours
I retired to my room where I played a few computer games and trawled the internet for info. I went to check what quantities people had been taking. I must say that I was a little worried when I discovered that the most other people had taken was about 25g. I had taken 70g. What was going to happen to me? I didn't panic as I thought 'Its only nutmeg!
+ 6.00 hours
It was now about 6 hour taking the nutmeg and I am now thoroughly fucked. I lie on my bed and try to do something but I feel so so so so so tired with little capacity to do anything.  He went to his girlfriend's house who said later how she had to babysit him all night!
I stayed in my wasted state which, hour after hour, got more and more intense until I can barely remember anything. I fell asleep at about 11.30pm through abject fatigue. The feeling was good but just too damn intense to fully appreciate.
THE FOLLOWING DAY
I was woken by some friends of mine outside my room asking me how I felt. I tried to sound enthusiasic but I felt so weak and ill. It was like a case of flu, hangover and malnurishment all in one horrible feeling. It was not yet a comedown as I could still feel the nutmeg. I got out of bed and walked to the other side of the room. I felt dizzy and weak. I got the most frightening headrush and collapsed. I awoke from this blackout after about 30 seconds when I discovered myself twitching on the floor in real physical pain.  My heart felt really sore and tight (I'm not sure why, did I have a heart attack? seems unlikely but it hurt so much). I couldnt operate properly all through the next day and the ill, stoned feeling just wouldn't go away. It took about two days to get my brain working properly again. The paranoia it gave me was now unbearable.
CONCLUSION
To conclude I would say that I took a offensively large dose. I didn't expect the effect to be so profound and as a result I thought taking more would improve the 'trip'. WRONG. I also think that wrapping the nutmeg made it digest more gradually (the paper had to be digested first) which probably explains the length of my experience.
I did enjoy myself for a while but it got far too intense to be comfortable. If people like experimenting with different drugs I would say that nutmeg could have a place in this world. I'm not going to do it again but in smaller doses it could be a lot of fun. Treat it with respect. Do not underestimate it (I've taken a lot of powerful drugs before, coke, LSD, MDMA, Speed, DXM, Ket) It was one of the most poweful experiences I've ever had on any psychoactive drug.
What a wierd experience, eh? people seem to find my nutmeg story funny. Who would have thought you could get so messed up off a household spice? obviously not me!!

The ExpressionThreshold object varies its state between open and closed depending on the value returned by an expression.
The expression to be evaluated is specified by the OpenCondition keyword. It is re-evaluated with every time advance of the model, and on demand when the Open output is tested by another Expression.
Normally, an ExpressionThreshold is open when the OpenCondition is TRUE and IS closed when it is FALSE. However, it is possible to specify a separate expression to close the ExpressionThreshold using the CloseCondition keyword. When this keyword is specified, the threshold remains open until the CloseCondition expression is TRUE.
The CloseCondition keyword introduces some special cases to be addressed:
· If the two conditions conflict by both returning TRUE, then the threshold is considered to be open.
· If both conditions are FALSE, then the threshold's previous open or closed state is retained.
· If both conditions are FALSE at the start of the simulation run, then InitialOpenValue keyword determines whether the threshold is open or closed.
Expression thresholds CANNOT be used in some circumstances. The expressions entered to the OpenCondition and CloseCondition keywords are tested only when an event occurs in the model such as the arrival of an entity or the completion of processing a Server. Normally, this restriction has no effect on a discrete event simulation since every change of the model's state is associated with an event. However, it is possible to enter an expression that changes between TRUE and FALSE without an event occurring. This can occur when simulation time is used explicitly in an expression, e.g. 'this.SimTime > 5[s]'. An ExpressionThreshold will detect this condition becoming TRUE at the first event that occurs after 5 seconds. The correct way to model this type of condition is to use a TimeSeries and a TimeSeriesThreshold.
The ShowPendingStates keyword is used to detect situations where an ExpressionThreshold is being used inappropriately. A "pending state" is the situation where the present values for the OpenCondition and CloseCondition expressions are inconsistent with the present state of the ExpressionTheshold. This situation can be detected when the ExpressionTheshold is visible in the View window because the OpenCondition and CloseCondition expressions are re-evaluated every time the computer screen is refreshed.


Police arrest 35-year-man after missing Osaka girl, 12, is found in Tochigi Prefecture
OSAKA – A 12-year-girl in Osaka, who had been missing for a week, was taken into policy custody in Tochigi Prefecture after she ran away from a man whom she claims had kidnapped her and confined her at his home. She didn’t appear to have sustained any injuries.
Police later arrested Hitoshi Ito, 35, an unemployed man of Oyama, Tochigi Prefecture, for allegedly kidnapping a minor. Investigators also took a 15-year-old girl into custody after they found her at Ito’s home.
Police believe the 12-year-old girl, who liked to play games online and communicated with her friends via Twitter, became acquainted with Ito via social media around Nov. 10.
Ito sent a message to her asking her to come to his house, saying there was another girl who had been staying at his house for about six months. They appear to have decided around Nov. 14 or 15 on meeting at a park in Osaka’s Sumiyoshi Ward, according to investigators.
The man allegedly met the girl at the park on Nov. 17 at around 10:35 a.m. The girl told police that they took trains together but she apparently had not been told where she was going.
“I didn’t intend to kidnap her,” Ito was quoted as saying by police.
According to investigative sources, the girl showed up at a police box in Oyama, some 430 km from her home in Osaka’s Sumiyoshi Ward at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. When Ito came out of his home later in the day, police asked him to voluntarily come in for questioning. He was subsequently arrested.
When she came to the police box and asked for help, she had no shoes on although it was raining and she didn’t have her smartphone. She reportedly told police that her smartphone was taken.
“I became scared and went to a police box while Ito was sleeping,” the girl reportedly told police.
The girl had been living with her mother, older sister and brother. On Nov. 17, she had breakfast with her mother at around 7 a.m. but when her mother woke after a nap at 11 a.m., she was gone. Her siblings didn’t realize she was gone, either.

Her mother reported to police around 10 p.m. and on Tuesday police released a photo of her. A total of some 360 police officers were searching for her whereabouts.
Before the girl went missing, she had confided to people she was acquainted with that she hated school and also her home.
The girl was reunited with her mother Sunday in Osaka. The 38-year-old mother issued a statement Sunday that she was thankful that the girl was safely back.
The 15-year-old girl found at Ito’s house is a junior high school student from Ibaraki Prefecture. Her family reported to police in June that she went missing. She was also reunited with her family, according to police.

 The default is standard output.
stream—an output stream designator. The default is standard output.
write, prin1, princ, print, and pprint write the printed representation of object to output-stream.
write is the general entry point to the Lisp printer. For each explicitly supplied keyword parameter named in Figure 22–6, the corresponding printer control variable is dynamically bound to its value while printing goes on; for each keyword parameter in Figure 22–6 that is not explicitly supplied, the value of the corresponding printer control variable is the same as it was at the time write was invoked. Once the appropriate bindings are established, the object is output by the Lisp printer.

prin1, princ, print, and pprint implicitly bind certain print parameters to particular values.

prin1 produces output suitable for input to read. It binds *print-escape* to true.
princ is just like prin1 except that the output has no escape characters. It binds *print-escape* to false
and *print-readably* to false.
The general rule is that output from princ is intended to look good to people, while output from prin1 is intended to be acceptable to read.
print is just like prin1 except that the printed representation of object is preceded by a newline and followed by a space.
pprint is just like print except that the trailing space is omitted and object is printed with the *print-pretty* flag non-nil to produce pretty output.
Output-stream specifies the stream to which output is to be sent.

@jeremyhahn I am facing the same issue. Did you figure out why this exception happens?
A bit off topic - but we (Pusher) have a new project ongoing for a Java/Android library that we're going to support and maintain in-house. Maybe @jmschultz plans to maintain this - if so, cool - but if you would consider using another library then there's an in development version available here: https://github.com/leggetter/pusher-java-client
We'd very much appreciate early users testing and submitting feedback, and possibly issues :)
Very simple example app here: https://github.com/leggetter/pusher-android-example
@jmschultz if you are interested and willing to contribute to the new library it would be awesome.
Getting this exception when I call Pusher.disconnect(). Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

This is a guest post from Joe Martin, a journalism student at Arizona State University. Joe did some Spring Training coverage for our site this last season. During his time at Hohokam Park, Joe had the opportunity to meet Tom Pratt. Pratt was a pitching coach in the Cubs organization from 2000-2012. Word spread yesterday that Pratt had lost his battle with cancer. In this post, Joe recalls his interactions with Tom Pratt.
I only met Tom Pratt a handful of times at Spring Training this year. A 20 year old college kid that somehow convinced the guys running this site to let me intern for them as a spring training reporter. I was standing behind one of the fields, watching drills and trying to figure out what I was going to talk about that day on the podcast.
I looked over and saw this coach standing against the concession stand talking to this old couple. He had dark sunglasses and a “goofy” batting helmet (his words not mine) on. But what I remember most was the ear-to-ear grin he was wearing the entire time he spoke to the two snowbirds in town to catch the Cubs at Spring Training. I got the courage to walk over and talk to him, introduced myself and immediately got one of the warmest friendliest handshakes I’d ever received.
We began to talk and somehow led to his “goofy” helmet that he wore, he said it was to cover up the stitches. I gave him a quizzical look and he showed me the stitches in his dark curly hair. Doctors want me to protect it, he said.
As we continued to talk, and he told me he had been out of the hospital for only four days, I became more and more amazed by the man standing in front of me. Brain cancer, something most people would be bed ridden with for months, and here Tom Pratt was, four days after a major surgery and only 30 hours of post-op, and he was here watching practice. I stood there speechless.
“How are you enjoying practice today?” Pratt asked me.
Unbelievable.
There are a lot of times when you can’t explain what you’re feeling, and words don’t do it justice. But the amount of happiness Tom had for baseball, his family and life in general was something that no disease could take from him.
Again, I’m not a good friend of Tom Pratt by any means. But watching him for the next couple weeks, and the way he handled people, always stopping to say hi, giving the old women hugs as he walked away, throwing the kids baseballs, you could tell there was something genuine there.
Players at every level of the organization would come by and shake his hand and give him a “what’s up coach,” and “how ya feelin’ coach,” and Tom just smiled. To Tom, he wasn’t about sitting in bed and ‘motivating’ the players that way, he wanted to be back on the field.
“Whatever I can do to help anyone else, I’m there man.”

Geode supports the following literal types:
boolean
value, either TRUE or FALSElong
if has a suffix of the ASCII letter L. Otherwise it is of type int
.float
if it has a suffix of an ASCII letter F
. Otherwise its type is double
. Optionally, it can have a suffix of an ASCII letter D
. A double or floating point literal can optionally include an exponent suffix of E
or e
, followed by a signed or unsigned number.'Hello'
evaluates to the value Hello
, while the character string 'He said, ''Hello'''
evaluates to He said, 'Hello'
. Embedded newlines are kept as part of the string literal.CHAR
, otherwise it is of type string
. The CHAR
literal for the single-quotation mark character is CHAR
''''
(four single quotation marks).java.sql.Date
object that uses the JDBC format prefixed with the DATE keyword: DATE yyyy-mm-dd
. In the Date
, yyyy
represents the year, mm
represents the month, and dd
represents the day. The year must be represented by four digits; a two-digit shorthand for the year is not allowed.java.sql.Time
object that uses the JDBC format (based on a 24-hour clock) prefixed with the TIME keyword: TIME hh:mm:ss
. In the Time
, hh
represents the hours, mm
represents the minutes, and ss
represents the seconds.java.sql.Timestamp
object that uses the JDBC format with a TIMESTAMP prefix: TIMESTAMP yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
In the Timestamp
, yyyy-mm-dd
represents the date
, hh:mm:ss
represents the time
, and fffffffff
represents the fractional seconds (up to nine digits).NULL
.null
in Java.The Difference Between NULL and UNDEFINED
In OQL, as in Java, NULL is an assignable entity (an object) indicating “no value”.
In OQL, UNDEFINED is a type. There is no Java equivalent. In OQL search results, an UNDEFINED value can be returned in two cases:
- As the result of a search for a key or value that does not exist
- As the result of accessing an attribute of a null-valued attribute.
Searches for inequality return UNDEFINED values in their results.
Note that if you access an attribute that has an explicit value of NULL, then it is not UNDEFINED.
For example, if a query accesses the attribute address.city
and address
is NULL, the result is UNDEFINED.
If the query accesses address
, then the result is not UNDEFINED, it is NULL.
Comparing Values With java.util.Date
You can compare temporal literal values DATE
, TIME
, and TIMESTAMP
with java.util.Date
values. There is no literal for java.util.Date
in the query language.
Type Conversion
The Geode query processor performs implicit type conversions and promotions under certain cases in order to evaluate expressions that contain different types. The query processor performs binary numeric promotion, method invocation conversion, and temporal type conversion.
Binary Numeric Promotion
The query processor performs binary numeric promotion on the operands of the following operators:
- Comparison operators <, <=, >, and >=
- Equality operators = and <>
- Binary numeric promotion widens the operands in a numeric expression to the widest representation used by any of the operands. In each expression, the query processor applies the following rules in the prescribed order until a conversion is made:
- If either operand is of type double, the other is converted to double
- If either operand is of type float, the other is converted to float
- If either operand is of type long, the other is converted to long
- Both operands are converted to type int char
Method Invocation Conversion
Method invocation conversion in the query language follows the same rules as Java method invocation conversion, except that the query language uses runtime types instead of compile time types, and handles null arguments differently than in Java. One aspect of using runtime types is that an argument with a null value has no typing information, and so can be matched with any type parameter. When a null argument is used, if the query processor cannot determine the proper method to invoke based on the non-null arguments, it throws an AmbiguousNameException
Temporal Type Conversion
The temporal types that the query language supports include the Java types java.util.Date , java.sql.Date , java.sql.Time , and java.sql.Timestamp , which are all treated the same and can be compared and used in indexes. When compared with each other, these types are all treated as nanosecond quantities.
Enum Conversion
Enums are not automatically converted. To use Enum values in query, you must use the toString method of the enum object or use a query bind parameter. See Enum Objects for more information.
Query Evaulation of Float.NaN and Double.NaN
Float.NaN and Double.NaN are not evaluated as primitives; instead, they are compared in the same manner used as the JDK methods Float.compareTo and Double.compareTo. See Double.NaN and Float.NaN Comparisons for more information.

Blockchains as I Understand It
Summary of my Understanding of Blockchains and Smart Contracts
Introduction
The first half of 2022 has not been kind to the world of crypto. Everyone expects a recession, cryptocurrency valuations are crashing; crypto firms file for bankruptcy every other week and many are predecting a “crypto winter”. As bad as things may seem, many would argue that the hype driven valuations crypto-currencies and associated projects were unsustainable, and had to come down eventually. Regardless, now that a lot of the hype and noise have faded, I feel that it is a good time to dive into the technical aspects of crypto currency technology with an academic mindset and learn about how it works.
Blockchains and Smart Contracts
The mathematics behind cryptocurrencies and blockchains have fascinated me since since 2012 - when I first heard about Bitcoin. Bitcoin pioneered the idea of a decentralized ledger of transactions of virtual tokens. However, modern blockchains have come a long way since then. In addition transactions of virtual tokens, blockchain today allow execution of arbitray logic on the blockchain - i.e., smart contracts. The mathematics of cryptography is what makes these features of blockchains possible.
Cyrptographic Hash Functions
Cryptographic hash functions (CHFs) are mathematical functions take data as input and produce a “fingerprint” that is pre-image resistant - i.e. it is difficult to know what you put into the function given the output of the function.
CHFs also have a few other properties. It’s difficult to find two inputs that have the same hash value and small changes to the file results in large changes to the hash.

~ % echo "Hellp" | md5sum

Public Key Cryptography
Public key cryptography lies at the foundation of how many blockchains work. These cryptographic systems uses two sets of numbers or “keys” for each person who wants to communicate. One key is kept a secret while the other is visible to everyone. If I want to send an encrypted message to Albert Einstein, I use a mathematical function that takes Einstein’s public key and the message as input and produces an encrypted message. The encrypted message will look like random noise to anyone except Einstein (well his computer at least) who can use his secret key with a mathematical decryption function to decrypt the message.
Digital Signatures
Public / Private keypairs can also be used to produce what are called digital signatures that prove that the person who owns the private key has written (or at least has signed) a message. Digital signature schemes first generate a hash of a document using a cryptographic hash function and then encrypt the hash using your private key. Anyone else can then verify that it is indeed signed using your private key by decrypting the signature using your private key and comparing it to the hash of the document.
How Bitcoin Works, Briefly
Each transaction on the Bitcoin network is written in a small scripting language. Bitcoin wallets - which are essentially a secret / public keypair - sign and send transactions to computers on the internet that are running code to verify blocks of tranasactions. These computers batch together transactions into blocks and try to find a number to add to a block of transactions (called a nonce) so that the cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of the block and the nonce has a specific number of leading zeroes. Finding the nonce is difficult to do because the brute-force method of searching through all possible combinations is the best way we know.
However, because of how cryptographic hashes work, it is easy to verify that the hash of the block with the nonce has the required number of leading zeroes. Therefore, the hash is proof that someone has done the work to verify the transaction. In the Bitcoin network, each block also contains the hash of the previous block so that we know the order in which the blocks were verified. The official ledger of transactions is the longest chain of blocks that have been verified by computers (miners) this way. In return for verifying transactions, the wallet that first verifies a block is rewarded with the fees of all the block’s transactions and a small amount of newly minted Bitcoin.
How Smart Contracts Work, Briefly
Smart contracts are an extension of the blockchain to transactions other than sending tokens between accounts. Bitcoin’s scripting language is intentionally limited (i.e. it is not Turing Complete). Blockchains like Ethereum implement a Turing complete scripting language that allows the contract to store state and perform arbitrary calculations. This lets you make more complicated things on the blockchain. So a smart contract is essentially code which instead of executing on your computer is executed on other computers along with some cryptographic calculations to verify what the code did. This computation costs money (miners or validators need to pay for electricity) and gas fees are the reward that validators on the blockchain get for executing the smart contract logic.
Summary
Blockchains essentially solve the problem of carrying out calculations and maintainings ledgers in a decentralized, trustless way. Rather than trusting a central authority (like a bank) to honestly keep track of your money, blockchains rely on mathematical rules which when correctly followed ensure that the probability of the ledger of transactions being honest is very high. However, the cost of a trustless system if a lack of recourse if you do not follow the rules. For instance, if your private keys are leaked you cannot retrieve your tokens from the thief because there is no “central authority” who can restore your wallet.

Fixing rtl8723be Wifi and Bluetooth issues in Linux
The problems
rtl8723be is an Wifi + Bluetooth card provided by Realtek. As goes with many devices, the support for this device in Linux has not been very good. On many devices, either or both of WiFi and Bluetooth don’t work properly, or in the worst case, don’t work at all.
This post should help you fix the common issues that occur with this device.
Why the problems occur
The problems occur mainly due to the fact that while rtl8723be chip supports two antennas, many device manufacturers only put one antenna to save money. By default, the Linux drives for the device tries to use both the antennas(one of which does not exist) and ends up failing miserably.
Also comes the problem of making Bluetooth and WiFi work together properly, something that’s easier said than done.
Fixing WiFi
Enough background, let’s get fixing stuff up. If the WiFi does not work or shows very poor signal for hotspots, this is for you.
The driver for this device is maintained by larry finger on github. Luckily, this driver has been included in Linux kernel for some time, so you don’t have to install it. All you have to do is set up the driver to use the proper antenna.
To do this, first create an file rtl8723be.conf
in /etc/modprobe.d
directory. Add the following line to it,
options rtl8723be ant_sel=1
remove the driver by executing, the following command in the terminal,
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be
mount the driver again by executing,
sudo modprobe rtl8723be
Check the wifi connection. It should be good now. If it ain’t, try changing the ant_sel option to 2, repeat the process above to remove and mount the driver again, and check again. The problem should be fixed now.
Sometimes, driver/kernel update requires you to change ant_sel option between 1 and 2, even if it worked previously.
Fixing Bluetooth
On most devices, Bluetooth does not work at all with rtl8723be. The issue is due to an inbuilt power management utility, called tlp. Well, not actually. The problem exists somewhere in the power management code for the driver itself, which causes interference with the normal working of tlp.
To fix this, you have two options,
- remove tlp (not recommended)
- Block rtl8723be in tlp
How to block the device in tlp
To block the device, first, find the device id using lsusb
lsusb
You’ll see something like this,
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:57d6 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:b006 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 014: ID 05c6:f003 Qualcomm, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0461:4e54 Primax Electronics, Ltd
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Let’s say 0bda:57d6
is the id of realtek’s card. To block it in tlp, open the file /etc/default/tlp
and find the line that reads,
#USB_BLACKLIST="1111:2222 3333:4444"
change it to
USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:57d6"
Reboot your computer and test Bluetooth, it should work now.
Bluetooth works, but only for very short distance
In case after blocking the device in tlp, Bluetooth works only for short distance, it’s problem with btcoexist
. btcoexist is responsible for making the Bluetooth and WiFi “coexist” peacefully, and it fails to do so. In this case, WiFi and Bluetooth require different antennas, and btcoexist fails to assign them properly.
A temporary fix for this is to change ant_sel setting(again!). This way, you’ll get Bluetooth to work very well, but WiFi won’t work properly. When you need WiFi, change the settings again, so that you can use WiFi, but won’t be able to use Bluetooth properly.
What’s coming in the future?
It is rumoured that updates to btcoexist may fix the issue in future. It is also possible that Realtek fixes the power management issues with the driver.


EXCLUSIVE: Tray Deee on Lil Reese Shooting, Kodak Possibly Paying for Prison Protection
by Jessica ToddTray Deee shared his thoughts on Lil Reese recently being shot and he also reacted to DJ Vlad's question about "the tough guy act," including with less imposing people like Reese. Tray Deee explained that in his experience, some of the least imposing people are the most dangerous, and he used mob hitmen as an example.
During the conversation, Tray Deee also spoke about Kodak Black being in prison and the possibility of him paying for protection. Tray Deee explained what it would take to be protected, and why one person wouldn't be enough.

How Majestic Is Your Name
TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO THE GITTITH. A PSALM OF DAVID.
1 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

On a Unix-like system, these documentation files will usually also be available as manpages for use with the man program.
Some documentation is not available as man pages, so if a cross-reference is not found by man, try it with perldoc. Perldoc can also take you directly to documentation for functions (with the -f switch). See "perldoc --help" (or "perldoc perldoc" or "man perldoc") for other helpful options perldoc has to offer.
In general, if something strange has gone wrong with your program and you're not sure where you should look for help, try making your code comply with use strict and use warnings. These will often point out exactly where the trouble is.
Perl was originally a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text files, extracting information from those text files, and printing reports based on that information. It quickly became a good language for many system management tasks. Over the years, Perl has grown into a general-purpose programming language. It's widely used for everything from quick "one-liners" to full-scale application development.
The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal). It combines (in the author's opinion, anyway) some of the best features of sed, awk, and sh, making it familiar and easy to use for Unix users to whip up quick solutions to annoying problems. Its general-purpose programming facilities support procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms, making Perl a comfortable language for the long haul on major projects, whatever your bent.
Perl's roots in text processing haven't been forgotten over the years. It still boasts some of the most powerful regular expressions to be found anywhere, and its support for Unicode text is world-class. It handles all kinds of structured text, too, through an extensive collection of extensions. Those libraries, collected in the CPAN, provide ready-made solutions to an astounding array of problems. When they haven't set the standard themselves, they steal from the best -- just like Perl itself.

"@INC" locations of perl libraries
"@INC" above is a reference to the built-in variable of the same name; see perlvar for more information.

The "use warnings" pragma produces some lovely diagnostics. One can also use the -w flag, but its use is normally discouraged, because it gets applied to all executed Perl code, including that not under your control.
See perldiag for explanations of all Perl's diagnostics. The "use diagnostics" pragma automatically turns Perl's normally terse warnings and errors into these longer forms.
Compilation errors will tell you the line number of the error, with an indication of the next token or token type that was to be examined. (In a script passed to Perl via -e switches, each -e is counted as one line.)
Setuid scripts have additional constraints that can produce error messages such as "Insecure dependency". See perlsec.
Did we mention that you should definitely consider using the use warnings pragma?
Perl is at the mercy of your machine's definitions of various operations such as type casting, atof(), and floating-point output with sprintf().
If your stdio requires a seek or eof between reads and writes on a particular stream, so does Perl. (This doesn't apply to sysread() and syswrite().)
While none of the built-in data types have any arbitrary size limits (apart from memory size), there are still a few arbitrary limits: a given variable name may not be longer than 251 characters. Line numbers displayed by diagnostics are internally stored as short integers, so they are limited to a maximum of 65535 (higher numbers usually being affected by wraparound).
You may submit your bug reports (be sure to include full configuration information as output by the myconfig program in the perl source tree, or by "perl -V") to <https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues>.
Perl actually stands for Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister, but don't tell anyone I said that.
The three principal virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. See the Camel Book for why.

Rob Harwood spotted this very interesting trend from Alexa describing the rise of Ruby reach as Rails enters the scene:
Harwood interprets the correlation:
Forget the hype over Rails — not important. Forget the anti-hype too — irrelevant. Instead, just look at this graph from Alexa.com. See any correlation? Rails is a killer app, regardless of hype or anti-hype. As soon as Rails appeared on the scene, Ruby has experienced a 200% increase in web traffic over three months.
