THE SAINT A film review by Walter Frith Copyright 1997 Walter Frith
Val Kilmer has an alleged reputation of being difficult to work with. On the set of 'The Doors' (1991) reports circulated that he didn't want anyone to talk to him as he was getting in character to play Jim Morrison. Recently, on the set of one of his latest films it was also alleged that he demanded to know the astrological signs of the crew and cast members. Regardless of whether or not these rumours are true, it certainly raises some eyebrows.
In 'The Saint', Kilmer plays Simon Templar, a renegade professional thief and master of disguise whose latest coup takes him to capitalist Russia where a former communist and now famous oil tycoon wants Kilmer to steal a formula essential to making cold fusion work in producing energy to substitute the world's need for oil. The oil tycoon (Rade Serbedzija) is also running for the Russian presidency and uses his secret hobby as leader of a Russian Mafia branch to strong arm his way to his nation's highest office. The scientist responsible for developing the formula (Elisabeth Shue) has a romantic fling with Kilmer and they are eventually forced to run for their lives when things go awry.
How is 'The Saint'? It can be best described as protracted, muddled, shallow and downright boring. Kilmer has all the savvy of a James Bond stunt double only stunt doubles don't talk in movies and Kilmer revolutionizes that theory. His portrayal of the leading character is terribly inept and Shue fares no better as a flimsy and helpless character (caricature).
Director Phillip Noyce ('Patriot Games', 'Clear and Present Danger') is a director of organization rather than of creativity. His instructional authority on this movie looks amateurish and the film is almost entirely void of action as the plot chooses to focus on the romance rather than the intrigue. That's fine but let's not over do it.
'The Saint' is based on the classic television series with Roger Moore whose suave, charming persona would later land him the role of James Bond and 'The Saint' may appeal to the fans of Val Kilmer. As for being creative and shrewd filmmaking, 'The Saint' ain't.

Starlets beat Ethiopia in CECAFA opener
by ALEX ISABOKENAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 17 – Harambee Starlets produced a superb second half to down Ethiopia 2-0 and launch their CECAFA Women’s Challenge Cup on a positive note in Tanzania on Sunday.
Starlets were tied 0-0 at the breather but second-half substitute Gentrix Shikangwa opened the scores in the 79th minute before Cynthia Shilwatso added the second three minutes later to seal the win.
The national women’s team will next take on Djibouti on Tuesday at the Azam Complex, before winding up their Group B fixtures against Uganda on Thursday next week.
Semifinals have been scheduled for Saturday, November 23, while the third-place Playoff and final will be played on Monday, November 25, 2019.
Starlets will be seeking to console themselves with the regional title after bowing out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
The Kenyan girls reached the penultimate round after losing 3-2 on aggregate to the She-Polopolo of Zambia.

Some projects I've been working on in my own time, just for fun.
After a while writing scripting code and shaders to run on top of existing game engines, I decided to build a simple game from the ground up using C++ and OpenGL.
Tess is the result of that experiment. It's a clone of the casual game 2048, played on a tesseract (a 4D cube).
Instead of a 4*4 tile game space, it's 2*2*2*2 with 4 possible movement directions from any point.
{% include tessimages.html %}Asset loading for shader files, BMFont fonts built with Hiero, and textures from PNG (I borrowed the decoder for this last one from LodePNG).
Persistent high score saved as hashed binary file
Uses instanced rendering with uniform buffers to draw the whole game in 5 draw calls
This is an ongoing personal project based on a final-year project I made for uni.
Built using openFrameworks, it creates indexed 3D meshes from distance field functions, supplied as snippets of GLSL code.
All mesh extraction is done on GPU using compute shaders and 'histogram pyramids' to give interactive speeds on most recent graphics cards
Still very much an alpha version. The GUI needs a cleanup, and I should probably port the whole thing to something more friendly like Qt, but the core functionality works well.
{% include meshifyimages.html %}Two mesh creation algorithms - Marching Cubes and Dual Marching Cubes
Supports mesh resolutions from 64^3 to 512^3
Exports meshes to .obj files.

Interview - Being a Woman in Computer Science
One topic that rarely gets coverage that I’ve seen is how women get along in male dominated environments, such as Computer Science. For me it has never mattered someone’s gender - I love using, tweaking and learning about computers and if you share that interest - the more, the better! It has been shown very young children are conditioned from a very young age by gender rules - shown by Prof. Robert Winston in Child of Our Time programme. So I’ve often wondered in a very skewed ratio of males to females (as generally there are more females than males in society) would affect a Woman’s choice of even considering Computer Science, since so few actually do. So I set about asking our class representative, Lauren Butler, her thoughts on Computers, doing Computer Science and being an authority figure in a male dominated class-room, my questions and her answers follow:
NG = Neil Grogan - LB = Lauren Butler - ED = Editor
NG: What first sparked your interest in Computers?
** LB:** Learning computers in Secondary School, seemed like a cool thing. But obviously I had been playing computer games for years since the Sega Mega drive came out so in a way I had probably been into computers and not really realized.
NG: Do you remember the first Computer you got?

NG: When did you first realise you’d like to do Computer Science? In School? Or after?
LB: Secondary School filling out my CAO application because I couldn’t think of anything else. Guidance councilor said to do arts (typical response to a person that doesn’t know what to do) but I wanted to be a Garda (ed: a police officer in Ireland) and computers was my fall back. Long story short the Gard’s didn’t want me after the whole application process so I went to my plan B…computers.
NG: Would you describe yourself as a Tomboy? You seem to fit the description of Heterosociality, ie. Preferring (or at least having to) have more male friends than female.
LB: Yes I’m a tomboy, obviously it’s kinda of weird for a girl to like computers and computer games. I do have a lot of guy friends and I do find them easier to get along with but I have a good amount of girl friends too.
NG: Do you remember you first perception of the female to male ratio of the class in first year (approx 3:40) ?

LB: Neither. but I do get on better with boys than I do girls so In a way it’s kind of better for me to be in a male dominated environment.
NG: Do you feel female lecturers have been tougher or easier on you that you share gender? (ie. Common experiences)
** LB:** I don’t think they have been tougher but I do find they can’t interact with me as well as they do with the males
NG: Do you feel male lecturers have been tougher or easier on you that you differ in gender?
LB: No I don’t think they have been either but I may get away with being a bit ditsy at times
NG: Do you feel the fact the male to female ratio is skewed will help or hinder your career prospects?
LB: No I don’t think it will affect it in any way and it should or at least I hope it will be based on academics.
NG: What would it take to encourage more Women to consider Computer Science? What would you say to sell it to them as a profession?
LB: I honestly don’t know but the fact that you can get into basically any part of the computer industry by doing this course could be an incentive.
**NG: **Do you feel any aspect of the course is more male orientated? I remember one lecturer saying female students excel at coursework, but this reverses as projects come in later years, which males apparently do better at?
LB: No I don’t think it’s more male orientated but maybe that lecturer thinks the more hands on stuff is more male orientated but if like me who is a tomboy that sort of thing should be more interesting, i.e fixing computers that’s my favorite thing, one of which we don’t do enough of.
NG: As Class representative and a leader of the class, do you feel being a woman has positively impacted the class – i.e. That different experiences & differing management styles of Women can be a unifying force?
**LB: **I really don’t think I have had any sort of impact on the class, I’m just a very open person and I’d like to think that anyone in the class could come and class to me.
**NG: **Do you ever wish people would stop focusing on this male/female thing and that it all should be a meritocracy?
**LB: **I personally don’t see it being focused on the male/female thing. Especially now being in third year where we are being placed in groups to work on projects, we all use our talents and abilities to achieve a good grade. Defiantly in my group I work in I have never had a problem with my gender being focused on, as long as every one pulls they’re weight who really cares about gender.

String implementation with configurable string optimization indeed, the Standard Library does not enforce such an optimization. This means a string might be allocated in the head every time, which is suboptimal. Furthermore, it might be suitable to configure the maximum "small string" length later.

Drug dealer busted for selling phony acid
Eureka Times-Standard | Submitted by: Timothy Leary Jr
"Two Humboldt State students alleged that late last September, Butler forced
them to give him money and drive him to Pismo Beach in Southern California in
one of the student's cars. Butler denied the allegations, maintaining that he
offered the students 10 sheets of the LSD each for the ride. Butler was
arrested in early October in Arcata, when one of the students told his father
what happened. Initial field tests by the Arcata Police Department tested
positive for LSD, but later tests by the California Department of Justice
proved otherwise."

National landmarks to be cloned
New York Daily News | Submitted by: whitetrashrepublic
"The Federal Government is using laser-scanning technology to record the precise
dimensions and design of landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, the Capitol
Building and Mount Rushmore. Should any of these sites should be damaged in a
terrorist attack, the Feds will seek to comfort us by rebuilding them immediately.
'If someone comes along with a suitcase bomb or a briefcase nuke and blows up a
chunk of Thomas Jefferson, and his nose falls off, the 3-D representation would
allow us to perform major reconstructive surgery on the mountain,' said Don
Striker, superintendent of Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota."

Dallas Police: 46% of seized cocaine actually chalk
Washington Times | Submitted by: Chalk Kingpin
"Known as the "Sheetrock scandal" because tests determined that the substances
were shredded Sheetrock, pool chalk or gypsum instead of cocaine and methamphetamines, the situation has been a major embarrassment to both the
Dallas Police Department and the Dallas County district attorney's office. "It's
all going to boil down to whether the narcs knew the informants were setting
innocent people up or whether they were snookered themselves," said a former
federal prosecutor here."

Select
Select
is a type-safe representation of the <select>
element in HTML. Currently only single-select is supported. It displays
items that are in a SeqSignal[T]
, where T
is a
type argument to Select
. You can also specify a rendering
function of type T=>String
, or use the default which is
_.toString
. If you don't specify a value for size
(the height, in rows), it defaults to 1 — a dropdown.
Select
currently supports the change
event, and the selectedIndex
property (represented as a Option[Int]
.)
In addition, it defined val selectedItem: Signal[Option[T]]
,
which gives you access to the selected item, if any, in terms of the
typed set of items you supplied. Also, you can change the selection by
invoking def selectItem(item: Option[T])
.
Here is the current choice of factories, from simpler to more complex:
Signal[Seq[T]]
(if the Signal
's
value changes, a diff will be computed to determine what needs
updating): val items = Var(List("First", "Second", "Third")) Select(items)
Signal[Seq[T]]
(using diff algorithm)
and a renderer: Select( Val(people), person => person.last+", "+person.first )
SeqSignal[T]
: val peopleSignal = BufferSignal(people: _*) Select(peopleSignal)
SeqSignal[T]
and a rendering function.SeqSignal[T]
, a
renderer, an optional size (defaulting to 1), and a change callback: Select(Some(curPerson), peopleSignal, _.toString, 20){ case None => println("Deselected!") case Some(person) => println("Selected " + person) }
Seq[T]
(no
Signal
), and no default value is defined for size
.

Test if an object is a Stream
The missing Stream.isStream(obj)
: determine if an object is standard Node.js Stream
. Works for Node-core Stream
objects (for 0.8, 0.10, 0.11, and in theory, older and newer versions) and all versions of readable-stream.
var isStream = require('isstream')
var Stream = require('stream')
isStream(new Stream()) // true
isStream({}) // false
isStream(new Stream.Readable()) // true
isStream(new Stream.Writable()) // true
isStream(new Stream.Duplex()) // true
isStream(new Stream.Transform()) // true
isStream(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
You can also test for isReadable(obj)
, isWritable(obj)
and isDuplex(obj)
to test for implementations of Streams2 (and Streams3) base classes.
var isReadable = require('isstream').isReadable
var isWritable = require('isstream').isWritable
var isDuplex = require('isstream').isDuplex
var Stream = require('stream')
isReadable(new Stream()) // false
isWritable(new Stream()) // false
isDuplex(new Stream()) // false
isReadable(new Stream.Readable()) // true
isReadable(new Stream.Writable()) // false
isReadable(new Stream.Duplex()) // true
isReadable(new Stream.Transform()) // true

isDuplex(new Stream.Writable()) // false
isDuplex(new Stream.Duplex()) // true
isDuplex(new Stream.Transform()) // true
isDuplex(new Stream.PassThrough()) // true
Reminder: when implementing your own streams, please use readable-stream rather than core streams.

When this experience occured I had already gone through various experiments with weed, and was used to the mind altering effects. The story begins when I was hanging out with a couple of friends, hitting the bowl. We had been passing it back and forth taking deep hits of the bud, which was extremely potent. We had been smoking for a while and I had yet to feel the high set in so I kept smoking. We finished off the herb and started to walk down the street, slowly my mind oozed into a dream like state, which was considerably pleasent.
We had reached my street and as I looked around I noticed a house that seemed to look exactly like mine except completely backwards, also the houses around it were similar to those around mine. At that moment I could only think that I was in a universe that contradicted the one that I was in while I was sober. I told my friends my thoughts and they all seemed to agree. I then had a vision, but not a halucination about the future. In the vision we were sitting in my neighbors driveway at night rolling a joint when a cop car pulled up. At the time I thought nothing of it and proceeded rambling about my parallel universe.
About 10 minutes later we were in my neighbors driveway and one of my friends suggested rolling a joint,it was then I remembered my vision, told my friends that this was my vision and we had to go somewhere else, but everyone was stoned and had lost all motivation to move. I made them move and we went so someones back yard, about 5 minutes later I saw I cop car drive down the street with a spot light going really slow. It was amazing, I still dont no if it was just deja vu or the weed?

2021-02-17: The Stakker actor runtime: Beyond "Go++"
It's been more than a year since Stakker's first release, and it is now shipping in a commercial product, so it seems like time to announce it and to compare notes on Rust actor systems in general.
Contents:
- Rust + async/await + runtime = Go++
- Different interpretations of the actor model
- When multi-threaded is slower than single-threaded
- Stakker features
- Resources
- History
- Some future possibilities for Stakker
Rust + async/await + runtime = Go++
Rust's async/await was a big step forward, but now a lot of people seem to think that that's the end of the story, and that's how concurrency should be done in Rust. However Rust can go much much further than that. Async/await plus an associated runtime is effectively "Go++", i.e. you can do almost everything Go can do but in a low-level Rust style.
However the fact that there is a proliferation of actor crates shows that it doesn't cover everyone's requirements. Async/await emphasises sequential execution. Awaiting on something means your coroutine is blocking on one thing and can't receive any other events. Whilst you can choose to await on multiple things, that is not what this model is streamlined for at the source level.
The actor model on the other hand is the opposite. In the purest
actor model, nothing blocks. By default everything is asynchronous
and events can arrive from any source at any time. Multiple calls can
be outstanding on an actor, not just one as in the case of await
.
For things that are asynchronous in a big way with events arriving from all directions, or where it's just not going to work out to try to force things down a mostly sequential code path, or where it is much cleaner to reason about things as a state machine plus incoming events (which is essentially what an actor is), then you really need an actor system.
Different interpretations of the actor model
There are different points of view on how to manage actor queues.
Pony-like: My own crate Stakker takes a pure "nothing blocks" approach, something like the Pony language. Once an actor is up and running, nothing blocks — ever. Events arriving at an actor must be handled immediately. If handling an event starts a process that may take some time, then the actor must arrange to be notified when that process is complete. This is very clean and easy to reason about. Events from all different directions multiplex seamlessly at the actor.
Await-blocking: It seems that some actor implementations choose to
temporarily block their queue to facilitate interop with async/await.
For example an actor may stop processing its own queue whilst it waits
for an external process to complete, e.g. an await
call on something
from the async/await ecosystem. It seems to me that leaving stuff
unprocessed on the queue adds latency and maybe could even lead to
deadlocks if the coder isn't careful. What happens if something
arrives that changes your view on whether you should continue with the
awaited operation? It seems like a half-way compromise between the
async/await and actor models.
Erlang-like: In Erlang you can scan your queue looking for particular types of messages. I don't know whether anyone implements this in Rust, but it certainly makes the queuing more complicated. Again it's up to the coder to make sure that they don't leave important messages unprocessed on their queue. Given the popularity of Erlang and Elixir, it must work out for those coders, though.
Note that there is an essential impedence mismatch between the async/await model and the actor model. If we have an awaitable object and wish to interface it to an actor system, the cleanest way is to wrap it in an actor and have that actor accept calls and queue them up internally, and then feed them to the awaitable object one by one. Then the rest of the actor system can run without blocking. This is because you can't have two awaits running at the same time on an awaitable object, which is a limitation that actors don't have.
When multi-threaded is slower than single-threaded
It's known, with rayon for example, that if your unit of work is too small, then parallelizing the job will make it slower. So even though you now have 4 or 8 threads working on the problem, it takes longer to execute than with a single thread. This is because the synchronization overheads dominate the execution time. So to parallelize your job effectively, you have to split it into larger units of work.
The same applies to actor systems. Typically the work done when an actor handles a message is very small: update the state, and maybe send a message or two. So spreading the handling of individual actor messages across threads is a bad idea because the unit of work is way too small. So any implementation of an actor system on top of channels will not be very efficient. You need to find a way to break things into larger units of work before sharing the work between threads.
This is one of the reasons why Stakker chooses to be single-threaded at its core (although several independent Stakker runtimes can be run on different threads). This does shift the burden of dividing work between threads back to the coder, a job which the coder would perhaps prefer not to have to think about. However if you care about efficiency, then you have to think about it. And in any case, without a lot of care, throwing more threads at an actor system will just make it slower. So typical actor code will likely run faster single-threaded anyway.
There has been a lot of pressure on coders over the years to move away from single-threaded coding styles and to accept multi-threaded coding. But this has been reduced to "single-threaded bad, multi-threaded good", so people see a multi-threaded solution and think that it must be better. But that's just not true. The whole thing is a lot more nuanced than that. Really it comes down to: How big is your unit of work? i.e. how much work can you get done between synchronization points.
People may say "but single-threaded doesn't scale". Well, multi-threaded doesn't scale either — at least it only lets you scale to the capacity of the machine. Beyond that you have to think about load balancing or sharding or some other mechanism to distribute work between different machines. So in any case adopting multi-threading is only going to solve your problems temporarily, and for actors will possibly even make things worse.
So given that for an actor work-load, the unit of work is often small compared to synchronization overheads, running multiple single-threaded actor runtimes has its advantages. Load-balancing is something you're going to have to solve at a higher level anyway if you really want to scale.
Stakker features
Here are some of the features that hopefully make Stakker stand out:
-
Static checks: Everything possible is statically checked to find bugs at compile-time rather than run-time. Whereas other actor systems may rely on dynamic checks behind the scenes to maintain safety (e.g.
RefCell
), Stakker does this at compile-time. It uses the qcell crate to extend Rust's borrow-checking into actors. For example, this guarantees and proves at compile-time that no actor can access any other actor's state. So you can have confidence that your code will not unexpectedly panic due to a coding error causing a check to fail. It also means that the checks have no runtime overhead. -
High efficiency: Message queueing and execution does not require locks or atomics or allocations or
match
. Stakker does not use structures for messages, so does not need tomatch
on them. Instead a message is a closure that makes a static call to a method on the destination actorstruct
. When an actor sends a message, it adds aFnOnce
to an internal queue that directly calls that method. Rust is free to inline all that code, so handling a message can be reduced to a single branch to a piece of optimised inlined code that directly modifies the actor's state. Rust may even choose to inline the constant values that you're passing within the message, effectively giving you specialization of the handler too. TheFnOnce
queue is a flat area of memory, so typically no allocations are required to queue or execute a message either. -
Choice of implementations: Stakker provides a choice of internal implementations controlled by cargo features, all behind the same fixed API. So if you're running just one
Stakker
instance, internally it can use globals as an optimisation, but if you change your mind, you can just add a feature and it will switch off that optimisation. If you don't want to risk theunsafe
code within Stakker, you can turn off unsafe, and it will use safe alternatives (at some cost in memory and time). -
Rust-native: Stakker is as low-level and Rust-like as possible. Everything that makes Rust what it is has been extended into the actor model. So it is not an emulation of some other actor system on top of Rust, with all the inefficiencies that brings. Rather it aims to be a fully Rust-native actor system. Amongst other things, this means everything possible is borrow-checked and type-checked; it means that the Rust compiler has static knowledge of what you're doing and can inline and optimise; it means that you can count on
drop
cleaning things up; and it means that everything is safe. -
Event system independent: It is not tied to any particular underlying I/O or event system. So it can layer on top of anything. Already implemented is
mio
, but it should be possible to layer it on top oftokio
orasync_std
if required, or even on top of event loops from other languages. (One of the design requirements was that it should integrate well with C++ applications.) It requires just one timer from the external event system to drive the whole Stakker timer queue. -
Shared state: It's pragmatic about intentionally shared state. Whilst shared state is not allowed in the pure actor model, there is no way in Rust to stop someone passing around an
Rc<RefCell<V>>>
— at least not without limiting other useful features of Rust. So Stakker has aShare<V>
to make this explicit, and also to make it statically-checked and safe from panics. Since shared state is explicit, its use can be monitored in the codebase. -
Single-threaded: Each
Stakker
instance runs single-threaded, so there are no locks, no atomics, no memory fences, etc, etc. Your code will run unimpeded on that thread, using the full speed of the core. -
Solid handling of failure: Actors can be arranged in trees, and if required actors can be set up to automatically fail upwards, destroying each actor and its children as the failure propagates. In addition a
Ret
will inform the caller if it is dropped, i.e. if the actor it was sent to (or that was storing it) has died, so callers have a way to deal with actor failure too. -
Virtualization of time: Stakker doesn't know where you got your
Instant
from, and it doesn't care. So you can make time run faster for tests. -
Zero overhead: Really zero overhead and as close to the metal as possible, wherever possible.

History
- Initial development of qcell happened 2018-2019
- A simple Rust actor library was developed in Rust in 2019
- This was redesigned and rewritten as the open-source Stakker crate later in 2019, with first release in Jan-2020
- As of Feb-2021 Stakker is shipping in a commercial product
Some future possibilities for Stakker
-
Actor coroutines that can be started by the actor itself, and that run alongside the actor with direct safe access to the actor's state. This would allow certain parts of the actor's behaviour to be coded in a sequential way where that suits them. Multiple coroutines could be run for a single actor. Unfortunately it's impossible to implement this on top of async/await, because it needs an
'until_next_yield
lifetime. With a planned feature of Rust generators it should be possible. -
Remote actors, i.e. allow sending calls to actors in other threads or on other machines.
-
Crates to layer Stakker on top of
tokio
orasync_std
, and to wrap awaitable objects. -
Support for offloading CPU-intensive work or I/O work to a threadpool. This would be cleanest if integrated with actor coroutines.
-
Maybe allow
Actor<dyn Trait>
instead ofActor<Box<dyn Trait>>
, if Rust's newunion
ofManuallyDrop
feature turns out to be helpful.

These series of notes combined
- My notes on reading Software Foundation and (if any) watching on Coq intensive.
- Gotchas from my independent studies and discussion within Prof.Fluet’s class.
The
.v
code is a gorgeous example of literal programming and the compiled.html
website is full-fledged. So this note is intended to be NOT self-contained and only focus on things I found essential or interesting.
This note is intended to be very personal and potentially mix English with Chinese (You can Lol) So yeah. Don’t expect it to be well organized and well written. I posted it on blog mainly for my own references purpose.
The quotes could either come from the book or saying from someone (even including me).

Fixpoint
and Structrual Recursion
This requirement is a fundamental feature of Coq’s design: In particular, it guarantees that every function that can be defined in Coq will terminate on all inputs.
However, Coq’s “decreasing analysis” is not very sophisticated. E.g.
1

3
4
5
6
Fixpoint evenb (n:nat) : bool :=
match n with
| O => true
| S O => false
| n => evenb (pred (pred n))
end.
will result in a error that basically complains “this structure is not shrinking”.

Error:
Recursive definition of evenb is ill-formed.
evenb : nat -> bool
n : nat
n0 : nat
n1 : nat
Recursive call to evenb has principal argument equal to
"Nat.pred (Nat.pred n)" instead of one of the following variables: "n0" "n1".
Recursive definition is:
"fun n : nat =>
match n with
| 0 => true
| 1 => false
| S (S _) => evenb (Nat.pred (Nat.pred n))
end".
N.B. the n0
and n1
are sub-terms of n
where n = S (S _)
.
So we have to make the sub-structure explicit to indicate the structure is obviously shrinking:

4

6
Fixpoint evenb (n:nat) : bool :=
match n with
| O => true
| S O => false
| S (S n') => evenb n'
end.
Now Coq will know this Fixpoint
is performing a structural recursion over the 1st recursion and it guarantees to be terminated since the structure is decreasing:
1
2
evenb is defined
evenb is recursively defined (decreasing on 1st argument)

so we have to destruct

If there is no need to specify any names, we could omit as
clause or simply write as [|]
or as []
.
In fact. Any as
clause could be ommited and Coq will fill in random var name auto-magically.
A small caveat on intro
1
intros x y. destruct y as [ | y ] eqn:E.
By doing this, name y
is shadowed. It’d usually better to use, say y'
for this purpose.

Achieving the goals
Achieving the goals. Space Biology will enable Space biologists to achieve the goals of fundamental
and translational biology research in space that is critical to the Agency’s exploration and space
commercialization missions. Research will be selected to provide the best results, at the lowest cost,
in the shortest time.
Space Biology research will include ground-based investigations, microgravity
investigations on parabolic and suborbital platforms, and free flyer and ISS flights. Spaceflight experiments will include both primary and secondary payloads, such as cubesat’s or missions involving
biospecimen sharing, as required. The development of centrifugation capabilities on Earth and in
space, to identify specific responses both on the ground and in flight will be a hardware focus during the next few years.
To address the critical science questions for exploration and long term
manned spaceflight and to synthesize the appropriate conclusions from complex integrative life
science research, multidisciplinary research teams will need to be formed as necessary.

Ralph Edmund Matz
Written by Lena Kahrig Pettit
Source--Monroe County Beacon Woodsfield, Ohio
Ralph Edmund Matz was born September 4, 1916, at 1 a.m., in
a log house in Summit Township, Monroe County, on Northern Road, near
Lewisville, Ohio. The home was later
owned by the Hettig Family. He is the son of of the late William F. (b-1876-
d.1956), and Mary Ann Schaub Matz (b-1887-d-1967). Ralph was christened in St.
John's Evangelical and Reformed (Middle Church), near Lewisville. He attended
first grade at Johnson's one-room school on Egger Ridge and then continued his
education from second grade through high school in Woodsfield. His family moved
to Woodsfield in 1923. Ralph was confirmed at St. Paul's Evangelical and
Reformed Church in Woodsfield.
Mr. Matz grew to be a six foot, 190 pound, tow headed, right
handed, brown eyed young adult. He played the violin in the Woodsfield High
School orchestra. He also played softball, basketball, and was captain of the football
team during his senior year. Ralph says that he was very good in sports. He
graduated in 1934.
Ralph is enjoying living. There is no special day because every
day is a great day. He likes a variety of music and his favorite and his
favorite food is creamed chicken over bisquits, the way his mother made it.
Ralph's dad, William F. Matz, pumped oil wells and was a custodian
at the Monroe County Court House. William F. was the son of Ludwig (Louis) and Christina
Meckling Matz. William's wife, Mary Ann Schaub Matz, was the daughter of Andrew
and Sarah Groves Schaub. William and Mary Ann were blessed with six children:
Herzel (b. 1907-d-1988), Thelma (b.1908-d.1995), Lewis A. (b-1910-d 1983),
Sarah (Borns) (b-1912-d 1985), Leland (b-1914-d 1981) and Ralph E. Matz who was
born September 4, 1916 and lives in Chillicothe.
After graduating from high school, Ralph joined the Civilian
Conservation Corp. ( The Three C's) and was stationed in West Virginia, where
he and others were responsible for the building of both Hawk's Nest and
Babcock State Parks. He later moved to Greenville, Ohio. He met his first wife, Martha Nealeigh and
married in 1940. Later they moved to Youngstown, Ohio where he worked for a
steel fabrication company. One son, William Edmund Matz was born to this union
on March 1, 1941. In January 1943 the family moved to Chillicothe, Ohio. Ralph
obtained the equivalent of two years of college with a major in sociology
through Ohio University, Chillicothe.
He entered the U.S. Navy during World War II, 1944-1946, and
served with the Seebees in the Pacific Theatre. In January, 1948 he began
working for the Federal Prison Service in Chillicothe and after 20 years
retired as a Correctional Officer in January 1968. In 1968, Ralph began working
for the State of Ohio at the Chillicothe Correctional Institute and retired as
a Plumber 2 in 1980. During the years that he and his family have lived in Chillicothe,
they have been members and active in the Salem United Church of Christ, and most
recently, the Orchard Hill United Church of Christ.
On May 15, 1949, Ralph married his second wife, Dorothy Ann Miller
(b 1918-d 1996) the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. and Laura Hafler Miller,
of Laurel Street, Chillicothe. To this union a son Roger Alan Matz, was born on
April 21, 1950.
Ralph's family now consists of his son, William E. and his wife,
Connie who are living in Boerne, Texas. Bill is Sr. Property Examiner, Central Region,
for USA Property and Casualty Insurance, San Antonio, Texas. They both have
grown children. Ralph's second son, Roger Alan Matz married Jenny Kay Niehaus
and is living in Wheeling, West Virginia. Roger is a Senior
Account Executive at WTRF-TV.
Roger and
Jenny have three children, Laura June, Gregory Alan and Katherine Ann. Ralph
also has many nieces, nephews, and other relatives which are all special to
him.
Ralph just celebrated his 82nd birthday and was reminded just how
special he is by receiving many cards and notes from his family and friends.
When an occasion arrived, whether happy or sad, Ralph and Dorothy were always
there to be with his family and friends. Dorothy was deceased in 1996. Ralph is
recuperating from replacement knee surgery but still has that pleasing
personality and a ready smile to greet everyone, and he loves everyone dearly.

This is a relatively new harbour. The town lies about 50nm south of Figueira da Foz. It is an attractive destination with fine sandy beaches and an interesting old town up on the cliff which is reached by a funicular railway.
Position 39°35.2'N,9°04.4'W.
The GNR-Brigada Fiscal office is in the same building as the marina office and normally no other officials need be seen.
Last updated January 2016.
This harbour has all-weather access and very good shelter.
Visitors have a choice of using the marina or yacht club. At the marina (in the SW corner of the harbour), arriving yachts should berth on the outer pontoons where they will be met and directed to a berth. Berthing in the marina is limited.
There is no anchoring in the outer harbour. The harbour is 1.5 miles south of the town, therefore not that convenient for re-provisioning and supplies.
Port control VHF channel 11 or 16

Off the grid destination
It might be one of the world’s less connected countries, but Sri Lanka has a lot to offer travellers. The country is rich in history and natural beauty, with many well-preserved ruins and sun-scorched beaches to visit. It’s also a dream destination for animal lovers, providing opportunities to feed elephants, swim with dolphins and buddy-up with monkeys.
Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of green forests, cascading waterfalls and towering mountains. It’s packed with diverse flora and fauna and is home to several endangered species. Keep your eyes peeled for the enigmatic Sri Lankan leopard!
From lush landscapes to rocky ravines, a flight to Turkmenistan after your trip will bring you face to face with the permanently belching flames of the Darvaza crater, also known as the ‘Door to Hell.’ What a contrast!
Once off-limits due to war, Uppuveli Beach is slowly being rediscovered as a place to unwind. It’s still relatively quiet, but boasts golden sand, fresh seafood and tropical palm trees.
Soak up some Sri Lankan history (and sun) in this 1000-year-old city, packed with ancient temples, royal buildings and religious monuments. You’ll also find gigantic statues, including a 14-metre-long reclining Buddha.
Sigiriya is one of Sri Lanka’s greatest historic attractions, a 200-metre-tall rock carved with the gigantic paws of a lion. A hike to the top guarantees amazing views, and you’ll also see stunning paintings on the cave walls. Pop fans might recognise Sigiriya – it was featured in Duran Duran’s ‘Save a Prayer’ music video.

The Donald Cloud
Yesterday, I came across this interesting cloud on Kaggle that was created around the silhouette of Hillary Clinton and was based on the database of her emails. Although not a fan of Trump, I decided to utilise the database of the Tweets from the first GOP debate and create a word cloud in the shape of a silhouette of the Donald’s picture.
However, there were a few caveats that I ran into. For one, my script is based in R, whereas all of my online search led me only to scripts and libraries in Python for creating a word cloud in the shape of a specific image. Thus, although I have been able to create a wordcloud of tweets during the debate that mentioned Trump and was able to colour-code them according to the sentiment of the tweets, my dream of creating a beautiful (almost as beautiful as his famed border-dividing wall is supposed to be), racist, hate-filled silhouette of that famous(or fake?) orange hair and smug face surrounded by a wordcloud of racist, vile tweets is partly on hold. For the moment, I have to make peace with a big, ugly blob of tweets mentioning Trump. Nevertheless, here is the code for this wordcloud, along with a description of the code.
Load the following libraries in R:
library(ggplot2)
library(readr)
library("tm")
library("SnowballC")
library("wordcloud")
library("RColorBrewer")
Load the data from a csv file, and carry out some formatting to the tweets.
tweets <- read.csv("../input/Sentiment.csv")
tweets$text <- gsub("#GOPDebate", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("(RT|via)((?:\\b\\W*@\\w+)+)", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text <- gsub("#GOPdebate", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("[[:punct:]]", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("[[:digit:]]", "",tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("http\\w+", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("[ \t]{2,}", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("^\\s+|\\s+$", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("amp", "", tweets$text)
tweets$text = gsub("[^\x20-\x7E]", "", tweets$text)
Create a data frame that contains the text, sentiment count and number of retweets of every tweet.
tweet_data <- subset(tweets,selec=c("text","sentiment","retweet_count"))
Then, create factor levels for the sentiments and run the following functions.
sents = levels(factor(tweet_data$sentiment))
labels <- lapply(sents, function(x) paste(x,format(round((length((tweet_data[tweet_data$sentiment ==x,])$text)/length(tweet_data$sentiment)*100),2),nsmall=2),"%"))
nemo = length(sents)
emo.docs = rep("", nemo)
for (i in 1:nemo)
{
tmp = tweet_data[tweet_data$sentiment == sents[i],]$text
emo.docs[i] = paste(tmp,collapse=" ")
}
Remove specific stopwords in German and English from the tweets.
emo.docs = removeWords(emo.docs, stopwords("german"))
emo.docs = removeWords(emo.docs, stopwords("english"))
Create the corpus of tweets and create a term document matrix to generate the word cloud
corpus = Corpus(VectorSource(emo.docs))
tdm = TermDocumentMatrix(corpus)
tdm = as.matrix(tdm)
colnames(tdm) = labels
Finally, generate the word cloud that displays the tweets arranged in the order of their retweets and divided according to their sentiment.
comparison.cloud(tdm, colors = brewer.pal(nemo, "Dark2"),
scale = c(3,.5), random.order = FALSE, title.size = 1.5)
There, a blob of tweets for a blob of a candidate.
Next assignment: generate a much cooler portrait wordcloud that takes the fight to the 1 percent #feelthebern.

Building with configure (*nix including GNU/Linux)¶
If you are going to build Universal-ctags on a popular GNU/Linux distribution, you can install the tools and libraries that Universal-ctags requires (or may use) as packages. See GNU/Linux distributions about the packages.
Like most Autotools-based projects, you need to do:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/where/you/want # defaults to /usr/local
$ make
$ make install # may require extra privileges depending on where to install
After installation the ctags executable will be in $prefix/bin/.
autogen.sh runs autoreconf internally. If you use a (binary oriented) GNU/Linux distribution, autoreconf may be part of the autoconf package. In addition you may have to install automake and/or pkg-config, too.
GNU/Linux distributions¶
Before running ./autogen.sh, install some packages.
 During the configure
stage you can now change
the name of the created executable.
To add a prefix ‘ex’ which will result in ‘ctags’ being renamed to ‘exctags’:
$ ./configure --program-prefix=ex
To completely change the program’s name run the following:
$ ./configure --program-transform-name='s/ctags/my_ctags/; s/etags/myemacs_tags/'
Please remember there is also an ‘etags’ installed alongside ‘ctags’ which you may also want to rename as shown above.


"""
Consistently ordered variants of the default base classes.
Note that if you are using Python 3.6+, you shouldn't need these classes
because the dicts in Python 3.6+ are ordered.
Note also that there are many differing expectations for the word "ordered"
and that these classes may not provide the order you expect.
The intent here is to give a consistent order not a particular order.
The Ordered (Di/Multi/MultiDi) Graphs give a consistent order for reporting of
nodes and edges. The order of node reporting agrees with node adding, but for
edges, the order is not necessarily the order that the edges were added.
In general, you should use the default (i.e., unordered) graph classes.
However, there are times (e.g., when testing) when you may need the
order preserved.
Special care is required when using subgraphs of the Ordered classes.
The order of nodes in the subclass is not necessarily the same order
as the original class. In general it is probably better to avoid using
subgraphs and replace with code similar to:
# instead of SG = G.subgraph(ordered_nodes)
SG=nx.OrderedGraph()
SG.add_nodes_from(ordered_nodes)
SG.add_edges_from((u, v) for (u, v) in G.edges() if u in SG if v in SG)

Subject: REQUEST - 2001 Operating Expenses - High Priority
Hello everyone. I know that most, if not all, of you are busy with quarter close, 2002 Plan, and possibly Board of Directors presentations and that this is not the ideal time to have more added to your plate. However, in conjunction to with setting the 2002 Plan targets, the Office of the Chairman has asked to see an analysis of 2001 operating expenses by business unit, with some level of detail, and with quick turnaround.
To that end, and to expedite this request in an efficient manner (and hopefuly save you some work), corporate accounting has already prepared a summary of operating expenses by business unit by category for the eight months ended August 31, 2001. These categories correlate very closely with the most often used accounts in SAP (cost element groups), i.e. salaries, benefits, outside services, etc. This information ties to your rollup in CS. Some categories have many accounts mapped to them, and we have provided the mapping employed by corporate for you to follow (column AO).
What we are asking you to do is as follows:
1. Review the attached schedule for the eight months ended 8/31/2001 (first sheet - Expenses-YTD August 2001). Corporate has highlighted, in yellow, various amounts that warrant some additional explanation. Please provide an explanation for these highlighted amounts. You may do so in any format you choose (at the bottom with a footnote, additional schedule, etc.).
2. As you may remember doing earlier this year with the 2001 Plan, please take your total expenses YTD 8/31/01 and categorize them by function. We have provided a list of the most common functions in this file, but if you need to add functions for clarity, please do so. Corporate gave thought to using the SAP alternate hierarchies to do this, but concluded that each BU should have input on this as you will know the most appropriate hierarchies to use and any other adjustments to make, if needed.
3. Considering what has been incurred through August and what the remainder of the year holds for your BU, please project your total 2001 operating expenses by both category and by function. Please fill in the second sheet in the file (Expenses-Sep-Dec 2001) with your projections and review the totals sheet (Total Year Estimate).
Keep in mind that this exercise is meant to be your best estimate at this time of these items, given the quick turnaround time, and not an exhaustive project. We realize that this is the best estimate at this time and understand that these numbers may change for a variety of reasons.
If you have any questions, please call me at x33341 or Terry West at x36910.
And finally, this needs to be completed and returned to me by 1:00pm this Wednesday, October 3.
Thank you,
Steve

These procedures are used to create, modify, read, and delete Tcl variables from C code.
Tcl_SetVar2Ex, Tcl_SetVar, Tcl_SetVar2, and Tcl_ObjSetVar2 will create a new variable or modify an existing one. These procedures set the given variable to the value given by newValuePtr or newValue and return a pointer to the variable's new value, which is stored in Tcl's variable structure. Tcl_SetVar2Ex and Tcl_ObjSetVar2 take the new value as a Tcl_Obj and return a pointer to a Tcl_Obj. Tcl_SetVar and Tcl_SetVar2 take the new value as a string and return a string; they are usually less efficient than Tcl_ObjSetVar2. Note that the return value may be different than the newValuePtr or newValue argument, due to modifications made by write traces. If an error occurs in setting the variable (e.g. an array variable is referenced without giving an index into the array) NULL is returned and an error message is left in interp's result if the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag bit is set.
Tcl_GetVar2Ex, Tcl_GetVar, Tcl_GetVar2, and Tcl_ObjGetVar2 return the current value of a variable. The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way as the arguments to the procedures described above. Under normal circumstances, the return value is a pointer to the variable's value. For Tcl_GetVar2Ex and Tcl_ObjGetVar2 the value is returned as a pointer to a Tcl_Obj. For Tcl_GetVar and Tcl_GetVar2 the value is returned as a string; this is usually less efficient, so Tcl_GetVar2Ex or Tcl_ObjGetVar2 are preferred. If an error occurs while reading the variable (e.g. the variable doesn't exist or an array element is specified for a scalar variable), then NULL is returned and an error message is left in interp's result if the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag bit is set.
Tcl_UnsetVar and Tcl_UnsetVar2 may be used to remove a variable, so that future attempts to read the variable will return an error. The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way as the arguments to the procedures above. If the variable is successfully removed then TCL_OK is returned. If the variable cannot be removed because it doesn't exist then TCL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp's result if the TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG flag bit is set. If an array element is specified, the given element is removed but the array remains. If an array name is specified without an index, then the entire array is removed.
The name of a variable may be specified to these procedures in four ways:
The flags argument may be used to specify any of several options to the procedures. It consists of an OR-ed combination of the following bits.
Tcl_GetVar and Tcl_GetVar2 return the current value of a variable. The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way as the arguments to Tcl_SetVar and Tcl_SetVar2. Under normal circumstances, the return value is a pointer to the variable's value (which is stored in Tcl's variable structure and will not change before the next call to Tcl_SetVar or Tcl_SetVar2). Tcl_GetVar and Tcl_GetVar2 use the flag bits TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY and TCL_LEAVE_ERR_MSG, both of which have the same meaning as for Tcl_SetVar. If an error occurs in reading the variable (e.g. the variable doesn't exist or an array element is specified for a scalar variable), then NULL is returned.
Tcl_UnsetVar and Tcl_UnsetVar2 may be used to remove a variable, so that future calls to Tcl_GetVar or Tcl_GetVar2 for the variable will return an error. The arguments to these procedures are treated in the same way as the arguments to Tcl_GetVar and Tcl_GetVar2. If the variable is successfully removed then TCL_OK is returned. If the variable cannot be removed because it doesn't exist then TCL_ERROR is returned. If an array element is specified, the given element is removed but the array remains. If an array name is specified without an index, then the entire array is removed.

RAISE THE RED LANTERN A film review by George V. Reilly Copyright 1992 George V. Reilly
RAISE THE RED LANTERN is a film directed by Zhang Yimou. It stars Gong Li and was nominated for this year's Best Foreign Film Oscar.
Zhang Yimou is probably best known in the West for his previous film, JU DOU, which also starred Gong Li as a young woman married to a rich older man. There the similarities end.
In this film set in 1920's China, Gong Li plays Songlian, a young woman who has been forced to leave the university after the death of her father and who must find a husband. She becomes the Fourth Mistress of Master Chen. The household is divided into several wings and each of the Mistresses holds court in her own wing. Each night, the Master has the concubines stand in a common courtyard where he chooses the one with whom he will sleep that night by placing a red lantern in front of her. As red lanterns are raised all around her house so that mistress goes into the ascendant.
The Mistresses are engaged in a never-ending power struggle. First Mistress, who has a grown son, is not an active participant: she is accorded the respect due to her seniority. The Second Mistress, who has only a 'worthless' daughter, is sweet and charming. The Third Mistress, with a son the same age as his half-sister, is catty and jealous of Songlian. Meishan is an ex-opera singer and the Master's former favourite, and doesn't take kindly to the usurper. She pretends to be ill on Songlian's wedding night, so that the Master will come to her bed.
Gradually, though, Songlian comes to realize that her real enemy is the Second Mistress who "has the face of a Buddha, but the heart of a scorpion." By now determined to win power over her "sisters", Songlian pretends to be pregnant. Eventually, she is found out---betrayed by her maid upon whom she wreaks vengeance. The stakes are raised ever higher and tragedy ensues.
RED LANTERN has been banned in China as being ideologically incorrect, presumably because it can be viewed as an allegory about China. The household is bound by a unyielding set of rules and strictures, disobeyed only by the foolhardy. One of the Mistresses is discovered in adultery and taken away; another happens upon a group of the servants taking the adulteress to her death. When she discovers the body, she screams "Murderers!", but the Master blandly denies the accusation, tells her that she is mad and that she saw nothing, just as the Beijing government denies Tiannamen Square.
Like JU DOU, RED LANTERN is beautiful. In particular, Zhang Yimou makes very effective use of sunlight. The pace of the film is slow and assured, like a formal dance, each step proceeding inexorably from what has gone before.
Gong Li is excellent as the Fourth Mistress, as are the actresses who play Second and Third Mistresses.
I recommend RAISE THE RED LANTERN highly.

This is a project utilizing RequireJS/jQuery/SVG (and some Bootstrap for front-end prettiness). It can be easily used as a starter project using these tools. This project is also used as a running collection of items focusing on these tools.
Statically created SVG elements can be accessed by ID and can respond to click events fairly simply:
Typically, SVG objects are not accessible via jQuery. This is because SVG elements cannot be parsed by innerHTML. bobince from Stack Overflow provides a wonderful explanation, including JavaScript logic to create SVG elements using document.createElementNS.


What is the Tech Radar?
List of technologies, complemented by an assessment result, called ring assignment. We use four rings with the following semantics:
- ADOPT — Technologies we have high confidence in to serve our purpose, also in large scale. Technologies with a usage culture in our production environment, low risk and recommended to be widely used.
- TRIAL — Technologies that we have seen work with success in project work to solve a real problem; first serious usage experience that confirm benefits and can uncover limitations. TRIAL technologies are slightly more risky; some engineers in our organization walked this path and will share knowledge and experiences.
- ASSESS — Technologies that are promising and have clear potential value-add for us; technologies worth to invest some research and prototyping efforts in to see if it has impact. ASSESS technologies have higher risks; they are often brand new and highly unproven in our organisation. You will find some engineers that have knowledge in the technology and promote it, you may even find teams that have started a prototyping effort.
- HOLD — Technologies not recommended to be used for new projects. Technologies that we think are not (yet) worth to (further) invest in. HOLD technologies should not be used for new projects, but usually can be continued for existing projects.
|
What is the purpose?
The Tech Radar is a tool to inspire and support engineering teams to pick the best technologies for new projects; it provides a platform to share knowledge and experience in technologies, to reflect on technology decisions and continuously evolve our technology landscape. Based on the pioneering work of ThoughtWorks, our Tech Radar sets out the changes in technologies that are interesting in software development — changes that we think our engineering teams should pay attention to and consider using in their projects.
How do we maintain it?
The Tech Radar is maintained by the dev teams. The Tech Radar depends on active participation and input from all engineering teams.

We are nobodies
Today I'm dirty
And I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt
Today I'm dirty
And I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead
They'll know just who we are
We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead
They'll know just who we are
Yesterday I was dirty
Wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt

We are the nobodies
Wanna be somebodies
When we're dead
They'll know just who we are
Some children died the other day
We fed machines and then we prayed
Puked up and down in morbid faith
You should have seen the ratings that day
