HEAVEN'S GATE A film review by Vince Deehan Copyright 1997 Vince Deehan
Written and Directed by Michael Cimino. Cast : Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert, John Hurt, Sam Waterson, Brad Dourif and Jeff Bridges.
HEAVEN'S GATE. What does this make you think of ? For me, whenever I hear mention of this film I immediately think of the following: massive flop, financial disaster, huge budget, Michael Cimino, a ruined career. This film has become synonymous with the idea of an overblown disaster. So powerful is this association that I never knew, until last week, just what exactly the film was about. I literally hadn't a clue what the plot was until I read about the current screening of the full 220 minute version at London's National Film Theatre. This is a crying shame because having seen the film in its full 70 mm glory I can honestly say that it is a great film and one I would urge anyone to see it if they get the chance.
The story concerns the evil antics of the rich landowners of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association (which gets abbreviated to just "The Association" throughout the film ) who, tiring of the impotency of the law in punishing the immigrants who are stealing their livestock, decide to take out some rough justice. To this end they write up a "death list" of 125 men who they deem to be thieves and "anarchists" who they wish to be killed. They hire local men to carry out this task, paying them five dollars a day and 50 dollars for every person they kill. They also give these hired men an allowance for clothes and boots. This leads to a very humorous scene early in the film when Kris Kristofferson's character, James Averill, returns to Wyoming and enters the local men's clothes shop to find hoards of men trying on suits and boots, all at the expense of the "association".
James Averill is the main character in the film and is clearly from the upper class, but he has been excluded from the Stock Growers Association. This is because he won't play by their rules and disagrees with some of their principles. Needless to say he is opposed to their plan to kill some of the immigrants, not least when he hears they have 125 on their list he declares that this is virtually all of them. (This latter statement was mentioned at least twice throughout the movie, both times seemingly an absurd exaggeration. In fact it probably was correct, when you realise that virtually all of the families were set to lose at least one male family member).
Alongside this story of class conflict, is the romance between James Averill and a prostitute, Ella Watson (Isabelle Huppert). This romance is complicated by the involvement of Nathan D Champion (Christopher Walken) ,one of the association's hired men, who also is in love with Ella. The difference being that Ella charges Nathan, but doesn't charge James ! The interesting thing about this entanglement is that both men soon become aware of the situation but neither act as you would expect. There are no overblown histrionics between the two. In fact, both men ,as well as being on opposite sides of the conflict, seem to have a quiet respect for each other. Although I think it's fair to say that James has less respect for Nathan, than Nathan does for him.
Although the general tone of the film is quite sombre, there are some wonderfully light hearted scenes which bring a smile to the face. The opening scene sees a very youthful Kristofferson running through gentrified streets in an attempt to catch up with a procession which is headed for his University graduation ceremony. He is running so fast that it gives the film an exhilarating start which is just what you need at the start of a 220-minute film ! (As an aside, it is quite startling how young Kris Kristofferson looks without his beard in the early scenes of him as a student. He really looks about 20 and I half suspected that these scenes *must* have been filmed years before the rest of the film where he looks considerably older. In reality, I'm sure they probably weren't. Respect due to the make-up team !) . In another early scene we see Kristofferson and John Hurt, as his rather foppish friend William, dancing around a huge green with a few hundred other dancers. They are moving so fast and fluently, with the camera following, that I was amazed that the actors weren't falling over from being so dizzy ! A later scene in Wyoming sees a crazy kind of barn dance, attended by all of the immigrants and James and Ella, where everyone is whirling around the dance floor on..... roller-skates !! Was this normal practice ?! It sure makes for a hugely enjoyable scene.
There are many scenes in the film where there are hundreds of people on screen which are well handled by Cimino. For instance, an early scene shows John Hurt and Kris Kristofferson walking in as a part of a procession into a college auditorium where there are hundreds of people standing on all tiers shouting and cheering . This is an impressive feat of crowd control ! In another scene where Kristofferson is arriving back in Wyoming, we see hundreds of people rushing about with loads of horses and carts thundering through the streets at very high speeds. It is both exhilarating and terrifying to watch. It looks mighty dangerous on those streets, a man could easily be trampled underfoot. I hope it wasn't as dangerous as it looks for the actors ! The sheer hustle and bustle is so loud and powerful, and much more intense than similar set-ups in other films. Indeed the noise from the horse and carts is so loud that it drowns out some of the dialogue in these early scenes. This may or may not be intentional, but I found it quite a nice touch.
My favourite character in the film is the Irish railway station man, Cully, played wonderfully by Richard Masur. His is one of the best performances in the film, no mean feat since we see very little of him. His first scene when he talks to James Averill, an old friend, as he arrives off the train in Wyoming, is very impressive. As he walks alongside the track with James, he talks away to his old friend in a calm and friendly manner, despite the barely organised chaos around him which he is doing his best to keep under control. As far as I know Richard Masur is not Irish, but his mastery of the Irish accent is magnificent. The dialogue he is given by Michael Cimino is extremely well written with some wonderful Irish phrases that I hear frequently amongst my own family. Richard Masur imbues Cully with a deep humanity and this is strongly felt in his final scene later in the film where he is killed by the Association (presumably because he is kind to the immigrants). I felt truly sad when he was killed, and this scene deftly showed the depths to which the men of the association had sunk to.
Kris Kristofferson is good as the man of conscience, James Averill. James is a man of few words and he ably conveys this on screen. Isabelle Huppert is very charismatic as Ella and gives a very charming performance. John Hurt suffers from a having to deliver a weak character who despite delivering a strong speech in the opening of the film and openly opposing the death list proposed from his fellow Stock Growers , turns into a slightly preposterous figure at the end when , during the furious battle between the immigrants and the Association, he merely stands around sardonically saying how he wishes he were in Paris. This is not John Hurt's fault, far from it. I feel that his character was poorly developed by Michael Cimino. Given his strong feelings against the death list it would seem strange that he still turned out for the battle at the end. Surely, he would have withdrawn long before this point. Then again, maybe it just shows how truly weak this man is and therefore my criticism is unfounded.
Geoffrey Lewis gives a wonderfully comic performance as Trapper, who looked almost like a parody of the type of grizzled men you often see in Westerns (which I suppose is a genre that HEAVEN'S GATE could be said to fall into, with the immigrants taking the part of the American Indians). Trapper is a man whose face is quite literally caked in mud. His appearance is truly hilarious. Geoffrey Lewis has a wonderful scene where he tells a story about fighting a wild fox , to a dumbfounded and naive young man, played by a young (but instantly recognisable) Mickey Rourke. Christopher Walken is also in this scene and his face is a picture, as he can barely control his mirth as Trapper spins his tall tale. Trapper also raises a laugh, at least I laughed, when he is collared by the Association as he approaches a river. The Association men ask him what he is up to. He innocently replies he is about to take a bath. This is likely true, but his appearance would suggest his face has not seen running water for some years !
I saw this film in a packed cinema at London's National Film Theatre where this rarely seen full length version is being shown . It was great to see so many people turning out to see this wonderful film. I gather it has been doing strong business in this limited run which is lasting about a week. I only hope that Michael Cimino gets to hear about this wonderful show of interest his film is getting. I personally thought long and hard about whether I would go along to see such a long film that had been so poorly received upon release. I wondered whether I'd get bored early on and wish I'd never gone and end up feeling trapped in my seat out of respect to Michael Cimino. The film ran approx. 3 hours and 40 minutes with a 20 minute interval at the 2 hour mark. I can honestly say that I am pleased that I went along because I thoroughly enjoyed the film and never once got bored. This is some achievement, since many films which run for a fraction of this time have me stifling yawns within half an hour ! After the interval, there was approximately 2 minutes of soundtrack played without pictures which ran into the second part of the film.. This was a great idea and gently lulled you back in to the mood of the film. I assume this was what Michael Cimino planned himself, either way it worked wonderfully. I can't help but feel that the story could have been told in far less time, but the slow and stately pace was effective and lent greater weight to the film as a whole.
As befits an epic of a film this has been a bit of an epic of a review (at least in terms of length). I hope that other people will take any opportunity they get to see the full length version of this much maligned film which is no way deserving of its initial poor response. It is a great film and I thoroughly recommend that people check it out for themselves.

_Slam_ (R) **** (out of ****)
Marc Levin's _Slam_ is a powder keg of a movie, exploding with emotional honesty and truth and the exuberant passion of raw young talent. It is an uplifting and exhilarating experience, a powerful work that deservedly won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Newcomer Saul Williams plays Ray Joshua, a talented Washington, D.C. rapper/poet whose dealings in the drug biz land him in jail. There, given the choice of falling into the trap of violence or hone his gift, Ray chooses the latter, and with the help and love of prison writing teacher Lauren Bell (Sonja Sohn), he discovers the transcendent power of his words.
The "finding oneself through art" premise isn't entirely original, but what makes _Slam_ such a triumph is the freshness of its voice. The first scene where Ray "slams," with the help of an inmate (Momulu Stewart) in the next cell, is dazzling in its sheer energy and percussive force. "Force" can also be used to describe Williams and Sohn, who are not only talented poets but charismatic screen presences and extraordinary actors. The two are downright electrifying; one highly charged confrontation in which she tries to convince him to own up to his past mistakes packs an overwhelming emotional potency. The same can be said of the entire film, which Williams has called--and rightfully so--"more of a movement than a movie." (opens October 16)

Tetris Effect is finally getting a vinyl release, as the gods intended
by Darryn BonthuysA year since it was released, and Tetris Effect is still one of the best games ever made. You can chalk this up to the fact that it perfectly blends both its audio and visuals into a tight game of rack ‘em stack ‘em block-busting, a sublime experience that looks and feels magnificent to melt a few hours away with.
Beyond the actual gameplay, it’s the soundtrack that will stay with you long after you’ve cleared the screen of tetrominoes. That collection of music that has the ability to move you, to get your feet tapping and create a groove within which you determine the tempo is simply unmatched by anything else in the gaming scene today.
It’s a soundtrack that I wouldn’t mind owning, but in a format that does it proper justice: Vinyl! Well good news for anyone who likes to spin that plastic, because the game developed by Enhance Games, Monstars and Resonair is finally ready to bring some of its EDM masterpieces to that format. Limited Run Games will release a two-disc vinyl version of the soundtrack, while PlayStation 4 owners who have yet to hop into it can grab a new fancy physical edition.
The vinyl version will have 17 tracks available for a spin, with a download code that will give you complete access to the entire 40-song soundtrack. Here’s the list of tracks that made the cut:
Side A
- Connected (Yours Forever) [In-game Mix]
- Next Chapter
- Pulse
- Joy
Side B
- Flames
- You and I
- City Lights
- Boscage
Side C
- All Nations
- Snows
- Chains
- Look Up
Side D
- World of Colors [Full Mix]
- So They Say
- Here
- Always Been But Never Dreamed
- Connected (Yours Forever) [Full Mix]
For any disc jockey who can’t live without the entire soundtrack on vinyl and scoffs at digital downloads (SCOFFS TO THE MAX), there will be a heftier and pricier 5LP collection that presses the whole soundtrack into one chunky $100 package. A novelty gift? Maybe, but with recent hardware advances that make the most of the vinyl format, the best soundtrack in video games is now getting the best physical media release.

Leclercq, who led Lens to only title, dies at 70
by BeSoccerDaniel Leclercq, known as the "Druid", who led Lens to their only French league title in 1998, has died at the age of 70, his former club announced on Friday.
The Voix du Nord newspaper reported he suffered a pulmonary embolism and the French side's former president Gervais Martel said Leclercq died in Martinique where he lived.
Leclercq, a central defender, played more than 360 games in nine seasons for Lens from 1974 to 1983. He then coached the club for three seasons from 1997 to 1999 leading them to league and league cup trophies. He returned to the Stade Felix-Bollaert as sporting director from 2008 to 2011.Â
He was nicknamed the "Druid" for his coaching style as much as for his wispy hair and distinctive posture.
"A part of Lens has gone," Martel told AFP.
"He was first a great player, then as a coach he took us to the highest level. It was unthinkable to be French champion. I don't know if we'll ever go through this again. He was constantly demanding. That reassured the players, even if they sometimes feared him."
Leclercq was from the outskirts of another northern town, Valenciennes where he started his career.
As a player he had a couple of stints with Marseille, where we helped win a league title in 1971, but as a coach he worked only in the north.
In addition to Lens, he had two periods in charge of Valenciennes, guiding the club to promotion in his second spell there from 2003 to 2005.

He wrote his legend in 1998 at Lens, the same year France won the World Cup on home soil.
"He was an idol for the fans," said Martel.
"When we were champions, he was proud and so happy for them. He often told me: 'people got their pride back' when life was difficult with the mines that had closed and many people were unemployed."
Leclercq managed to get the most out of a squad that included a core of French players who failed to make the World Cup squad - Tony Vairelles, Guillaume Warmuz, Jean-Guy Wallemme and Frederic Dehu - as well as Czech midfielder Vladimir Smicer and Montenegrin striker Anto Drobnjak as key figures.
"The 1990s were a time of tactical, space-reducing football," goalkeeper Warmuz told AFP.
"He had the idea of football with panache. It was revolutionary. In January 1998, he asked each one of us in the dressing room if we wanted to be French champions."
Lens and Metz, another club to have never won the league, broke away from the rest of the field during the campaign. Lens took over first spot when they won at Metz at the end of March and then held on to take the title on goal difference after drawing on the last day at home to Auxerre.
The following season Lens beat Metz to win the League Cup.

Here is where I showcase my independent and academic CS projects. To see things I am currently working on, check out my testing site for demos and other webby things.
Cornell Computer Animation Website
Cornell uses OrgSync (a platform for university organizations) and provides our club a website with pretty good SEO and a built-in CMS system. However, we wanted our own domain, and wanted freedom beyond what their CMS was designed for, and decided to make our own website separately from OrgSync.
Since quite a few of our members are here in Ithaca over the summer, we met several times to discuss website content and to design and finally build our beta site.
Personal Website
Since February 2014 I considered the possibility of creating a personal website. It was only until the summer did I set aside time to go through books and tutorials to learn everything I could about HTML and CSS.
This website is the second iteration of my efforts. Unlike my first website, I decided to adopt a lighter color scheme in response to user feedback. I also made the navigation more intuitive this time around.
PleaseCall App, Bloomberg Hackathon Feb 2014
I worked with Junia George, Dashiell Brown, Leon Zaruvinsky, and Keshav Verma to produce our app titled "PleaseCall".
My role on the team was varied; I did some UI design using XML and worked on some of the database using MySQL. Most of my time was spent studying the Android documentation and learning how to use Git. As this was my first hackathon, I had a lot of learning to do.
We presented our app 24 hours later and were declared winners. Each of us received a Leap Motion, which was an exciting prospect because of how Leap Motion can be used with Unity.
CritterWorld, CS 2112
If you asked me what Spring 2014 tasted like, I'd say it tasted like CritterWorld. I spent eons of time on this project with my partner Charlie Qian. The last four assignments in CS 2112 cumulate into a giant project known as CritterWorld.
CritterWorld involved parsing & fault injection, interpreters, working with Java GUIs and FXML, and networks.
BrickBreaker, CS 1110
I have a lot of nostalgia involving BrickBreaker. My first semester in CS was a time of innocence and discovery. BrickBreaker was symbolic of my experience learning Python and realizing that I did indeed want to study Computer Science after all.
For this project, I partnered with Victoria Beall. This was a pretty fun assignment, although I was stuck one function for a week because I wasn't careful with recursion.
BrickBreaker was a good project because it introduced me to the MVC design pattern and how to effectively use states to represent the different modes my game could be in at any given moment.
I implemented this in Python, but I plan on redoing it in JavaScript and putting it somewhere on this website.


Subheading
Dream about hunting birds scratch the furniture so sit by the fire or play time wake up human for food at 4am for pooping rainbow while flying in a toasted bread costume in space.  Hide when guests come over lie on your belly and purr when you are asleep.  Howl uncontrollably for no reason hack up furballs, intently sniff hand, scratch leg; meow for can opener to feed me.

Hoeffding's inequality
Hoeffding’s inequality
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_m$ be $m$ independent random variables (not necessarily identically distributed). All $X_i$ takes values in $[a_i,b_i]$. Then for any $\epsilon>0$ we have
If we have $a_i=a_j=a$ and $b_i=b_j=b$ for $\forall i,j$ then we have a version of the Hoeffding’s inequality which is most known
\[\mathbb{P}(|\hat{X}_m-E(\hat{X}_m)|\geq\epsilon)\leq e^{-2m\epsilon^2/(b-a)^2},\; \hat{X}_m=\frac{1}{m}\sum_{i=1}^mX_i\]First we show that for $t>0$ we have
\[\begin{equation}\begin{split}\mathbb{P}(x\geq y)\leq e^{-ty}E(e^{t x})\end{split}\end{equation}\]Note that
\[e^{-ty}E(e^{tx})=\sum_{x\in X}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)\]with $\sum_{x\in X}P(x)=1$. We expand the r.h.s as
\[\begin{equation*}\begin{split}\sum_{x\in X}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)&=\sum_{x\geq y}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)+\sum_{x<y}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)\\ &\geq \sum_{x\geq y}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)\\ &\geq \sum_{x\geq y}e^{t(x-y)}P(x)=\sum_{x\geq y}P(x)=P(x\geq y)\end{split}\end{equation*}\]Then we use the auxiliary distribution $P’(a)=(b-x)/(b-a)$ and $P’(b)=(x-a)/(b-a)$ with $a\leq x\leq b$ and $P’(a)+P’(b)=1$, to show that
\[e^{tx}\leq \frac{b-x}{b-a}e^{ta}+\frac{x-a}{b-a}e^{tb}\]because of the convexity of $e^{tx}$. Assuming that $E(x)=0$ (this implies that $a<0$ and $b>0$), we take the average on $x$ on both sides of the above equation to get
\[E(e^{tx})\leq \frac{b}{b-a}e^{ta}-\frac{a}{b-a}e^{tb}=\frac{e^{\phi(t)}}{b-a}\]with $\phi(t)=\ln(be^{ta}-ae^{tb})$. We can show that $\phi(t)$ is a convex function of $t$ with $\phi’‘(t)\leq (b-a)^2/4$ (essentially we need to show that $\phi’‘(t)$ has a maximum equal to $(b-a)^2/4$). Using that $\phi’(t=0)=0$ we also have $\phi’(t)\leq (b-a)^2t/4$. Then integrating again we have $\phi(t)\leq \phi(0)+(b-a)^2t^2/8$. This gives us
\[\begin{equation}\begin{split}E(e^{tx})\leq e^{t^2(b-a)^2/8}\end{split}\end{equation}\]Using inequalities Eq.1 and Eq.2, we calculate
\[\begin{equation*}\begin{split}P(\hat{X}_m-E(\hat{X}_m)>\epsilon)&\leq e^{-t\epsilon}E(e^{t(\hat{X}_m-E(\hat{X}_m))})\\ &=e^{-t\epsilon}\prod_iE(e^{t(X_i-E(X))})\\ &\leq e^{-t\epsilon} e^{t^2\sum_i(b_i-a_i)^2/8}\end{split}\end{equation*}\]We can choose $t$ such that the bound is optimal (this corresponds to the minimum of the exponent). We obtain
\[P(\hat{X}_m-E(\hat{X}_m)>\epsilon)\leq e^{-2\epsilon^2/\sum_i(b_i-a_i)^2}\]

Exercise 1: Determine the network connectivity
The primary goal of this lab will be to create a new Xamarin.Forms application and utilize the Xam.Plugin.Connectivity component to detect the network availability and state. You will display the current network status on two pages as shown in the screenshots below.
To complete the exercise, you will need Visual Studio for Windows or macOS with the Xamarin development tools installed. You will also need either an emulator/simulator or a device to run the exercise on. Please see the setup page if you need help installing the Xamarin development environment.
Create the solution
Let's start by creating a new Xamarin.Forms application with Visual Studio.
Using Visual Studio, create a new Xamarin.Forms Blank Forms App application. Name it NetStatus.
Make sure you select Use Portable Class Library under Shared Code to match up with the rest of the instructions of this course's exercises.
Using Visual Studio, create a new Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms) application. Name it NetStatus.
Make sure you select the .NET Standard under Code Sharing Strategy to match up with the rest of the instructions of this course's exercises.
Add the Connectivity plugin
Add the NuGet package Xam.Plugin.Connectivity to all of your projects.
To add this NuGet package via the Package Manager Console, found in the menu under Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console, run the following command:
Install-Package Xam.Plugin.Connectivity
This adds an abstraction to detect network state for iOS, Android and Windows devices at runtime.
You can examine the source code to the Connectivity plugin available on GitHub.
Add Android permissions
Android requires applications request specific permissions in the manifest in order to check for network connectivity.
If you plan to run the application on an Android device then add the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permissions to the Android manifest (accessible through the Android Application tab in the project properties, or by opening the Properties/AndroidManifest.xml file).
Add Windows capabilities
Windows 10 UWP must have the Private Networks (Client & Server) capability and Internet (Client & Server) capability checked in the app manifest (Package.appxmanifest) to work with network features on the device.
Open the manifest in the Windows project, switch to the Capabilities tab and check these two options.
Create the no-network page
The app will have two pages: One for when we are connected to a network, and another to display a "No connection available" view. Here we will create the "No connection available" page.
- Add a new Xamarin.Forms > ContentPage (C#) item to the shared NetStatus project. Name it
NoNetworkPage
.
- Add a new Forms > Forms ContentPage item to the shared NetStatus project. Name it
NoNetworkPage
.
- In the constructor for the class, set the
Content
property to a newLabel
which is centered and displays the text "No Network Connection Available". - Set the text color to the RGB value (0x40,0x40,0x40) to make it a dark gray color.
- Set the
BackgroundColor
for the page to be the RGB value (0xf0,0xf0,0xf0) to make it a light gray color.
public class NoNetworkPage : ContentPage
{
public NoNetworkPage()
{
BackgroundColor = Color.FromRgb(0xf0, 0xf0, 0xf0);
Content = new Label() {
Text = "No Network Connection Available",
HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
TextColor = Color.FromRgb(0x40, 0x40, 0x40),
};
}
}
- Set the
MainPage
property in the App.cs file to the newNoNetworkPage
. - Run the application to verify that it is displayed properly.
Create the network-view page
Next we will create the page that will display the connection type when one is available.
-
Add a page named
NetworkViewPage
, you can use either C# code or a mix of XAML and code. This will be the page where we display the network type (WiFi vs. Cellular) and provide a way to ping a host or IP address (a feature included in the connectivity library we added earlier). -
Add a
Label
to the page. TheLabel
will display the current connection type to the user. Name itConnectionDetails
. Feel free to use whatever sizing / spacing you prefer. You can also deviate from the names if you like - they are provided just for comparison to the provided lab solution.
Detect the network connectivity
Next we will determine the current state of the network and display the appropriate page to the user.
- Open the App.cs file. You will be adding code to the
App
's constructor. - Use the
CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected
static property to determine the network state. Based on the state, set theMainPage
property to either our "No-network" screen or the "Network-view" page. - Run the application with the network disabled on the device and verify that it displays the correct page on launch. (Note that the iOS Simulator will still appear to have network capabilities even when airplane mode is enabled; you will have to disable the host machine's network connection.)
- Close the application. Enable the network on the device and run the app again - verify that it launches the other page.
...
using Plugin.Connectivity.Abstractions;
public App()
{
// The root page of your application
MainPage = CrossConnectivity.Current.IsConnected
? (Page) new NetworkViewPage()
: new NoNetworkPage();
}
Monitor connectivity changed
Now we need to add code to switch between the pages when the network status changes. We will use the CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged
static event to detect network changes. The event args, ConnectivityChangedEventArgs
, includes a Boolean indicating whether there is an active connection.
- Override the
Application.OnStart
method in your App.cs class. - In
OnStart
, subscribe to theCrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged
event. - In your handler, check the connected state and update the
MainPage
property to reflect the connection state. - Run the app. Change the network availability while the app is running - it should now switch pages dynamically as you enable and disable the network connectivity.
protected override void OnStart()
{
base.OnStart();
CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged += HandleConnectivityChanged;
}
void HandleConnectivityChanged (object sender, ConnectivityChangedEventArgs e)
{
Type currentPage = this.MainPage.GetType();
if (e.IsConnected && currentPage != typeof(NetworkViewPage))
this.MainPage = new NetworkViewPage();
else if (!e.IsConnected && currentPage != typeof(NoNetworkPage))
this.MainPage = new NoNetworkPage();
}
Display the network type
In this final step, we will display the current network type when we have a connection. We might want to know this to determine if we should download a large amount of content or perform some type of network activity only when WiFi is active.
- Open the
NetworkViewPage
code file. - Override the
OnAppearing
method. - In
OnAppearing
, set theConnectionDetails
label to show the type of the first connection in theCrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectionTypes
list.
using System.Linq;
...
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
ConnectionDetails.Text = CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectionTypes.First().ToString();
}
- Still in
OnAppearing
, subscribe a handler to theConnectivityChanged
event. - In your handler, set the
ConnectionDetails
label to the current network type just as you did inOnAppearing
(feel free to refactor to avoid duplicate code if you would like to). - Override the
OnDisappearing
method and unsubscribe from the event. This will ensure we don't have a memory leak since the event is static. - Run the app and try switching between WiFi and Cellular (best tested on a physical phone device, many emulators/simulators do not support this capability).
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
if(CrossConnectivity.Current == null)
return;
ConnectionDetails.Text = CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectionTypes.First().ToString();
CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged += UpdateNetworkInfo;
}
protected override void OnDisappearing()
{
base.OnDisappearing();
if(CrossConnectivity.Current != null)
CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectivityChanged -= UpdateNetworkInfo;
}
private void UpdateNetworkInfo(object sender, ConnectivityChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (CrossConnectivity.Current != null && CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectionTypes != null)
{
var connectionType = CrossConnectivity.Current.ConnectionTypes.FirstOrDefault ();
ConnectionDetails.Text = connectionType.ToString ();
}
}

Clips values of multiple tensors by the ratio of the sum of their norms.
tf.compat.v1.clip_by_global_norm
tf.compat.v2.clip_by_global_norm
tf.clip_by_global_norm( t_list, clip_norm, use_norm=None, name=None )
Given a tuple or list of tensors t_list
, and a clipping ratio clip_norm
,
this operation returns a list of clipped tensors list_clipped
and the global norm (global_norm
) of all tensors in t_list
. Optionally,
if you've already computed the global norm for t_list
, you can specify
the global norm with use_norm
.
To perform the clipping, the values t_list[i]
are set to:
t_list[i] * clip_norm / max(global_norm, clip_norm)
where:
global_norm = sqrt(sum([l2norm(t)**2 for t in t_list]))
If clip_norm > global_norm
then the entries in t_list
remain as they are,
otherwise they're all shrunk by the global ratio.
If global_norm == infinity
then the entries in t_list
are all set to NaN
to signal that an error occurred.
Any of the entries of t_list
that are of type None
are ignored.
This is the correct way to perform gradient clipping (for example, see Pascanu et al., 2012 (pdf)).
However, it is slower than clip_by_norm()
because all the parameters must be
ready before the clipping operation can be performed.
t_list
: A tuple or list of mixed Tensors
, IndexedSlices
, or None.clip_norm
: A 0-D (scalar) Tensor
> 0. The clipping ratio.use_norm
: A 0-D (scalar) Tensor
of type float
(optional). The global
norm to use. If not provided, global_norm()
is used to compute the norm.name
: A name for the operation (optional).list_clipped

of the same type as list_t

If you want to have comments on some or all of your blog pages, you have to configure 11ty Frame your commenting system: each page where comments are useful must be paired with a Github issue which you have to create as soon as the page is published. A simple convention is to give the “comment” issue the same title as your page file name.
The issue number in your Github repository related to your page has to be declared in its front matter with the property gh_issue_n
.

Mnangagwa Finally Reveals BIG SECRET Behind SCARF He Never Takes Off
by Timothy NdoroMnangagwa Explains Scarf
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has finally explained why he never takes off his trademark multicoloured scarf regardless of day or season. The President’s reveal comes after almost two years of speculation and conspiracy theories. Some had even gone as far as suggesting that Mnangagwa’s scarf is linked to the occultic and juju.
However, speaking at the official opening of the 5th Global Business Forum on Africa in Dubai, Mnangagwa decided to explain the reason he never takes off his scarf.
According to the state-owned Herald newspaper, the President said,

Neuroplasticity
Discuss how understanding the principles of neuroplasticity benefits people
Prior the developments and discoveries in the field of neuroplasticity it was accepted in the neurosciences that certain functions were hard-wired in specific regions of the brain and that any incidents of brain change or recovery were exceptions to the rule. But since the late 70s and 80s we’ve learned that the brain can change and adapt to new experiences and abilities contrary to what we understood earlier.
We now know that different experiences and situations stimulate the brain to form create new neural paths and branches and that repeated exposure to those same experiences help strengthen those connections. But just as they can be formed they can also be undone. Synapse’s that aren’t stimulated by the same experience whither and are eliminated in a process called synaptic pruning.
With what we’ve now learned, pursing and learning new skills should be embraced. The brain is essentially like a muscle in that it can be taught new things and strengthen when used repeatedly. This is pretty pertinent given the new skill we’re learning at this course can be learned in time through repeated exposure and practise.
Interestingly there are 4 types of neuroplasticity. Homologous area adaptation, compensatory masquerade, cross-modal reassignment and map expansion. Map expansion is the fourth type of neuroplasticity that involves flexibility of local brain regions that are dedicated to performing one type of function or storing a particular form of information. This the type of neuroplasticity that’s exercised when learning a new skill.
Discuss you how might engage with the principals of neuroplasticity
for your own benefit
- Practise
- Practise
- Practise
And lots of it. Leveraging the idea that repeated exposure to and doing coding will help me grow in this area.
What are some of the ways to increase your neuroplasticity
Constant practise daily for a minimum of at least an hour of coding skills. I still use the Pomodoro technique/approach so as not to exhaust my attention span and to keep me fired up.
Keeping a list of area’s that I’m aware of that I’m not too crash hot at it and pushing myself to face it. Admittedly with this new about face on how I deal with challenges does make it a lot easier to do.
Growth Mindset
Discuss what it is and why it is relevant
Adopting a growth mindset is an understanding that you can build abilities and talent through hard work and dedication. That failure doens't necessarily mean the end but just a temporary stop.
It’s particularly insightul I found for this and the earlier when we started tackling Javascript. I found HTML and CSS much easier than JS.
Now armed with a growth mindset, I’ve learned to not “fear the code” and to dive into it. To accept the mistakes and the fails of which there’s many.
And seeing as there’s a multitude more of mistakes and growth further down this path, approaching this with a growth mindset makes me feel more confident. Like it validates my hard work and dedication will pay off.
Looking back already to sprint 1, I feel like I’ve in a way already applied a growth mindset but just didn’t realise I was doing it. I’m already a better person and coder compared to earlier self before I even started with Dev Academy and it’s a testament to having a GM approach.
In this exploration, did anything surprise you? Change for you?
Absolutely. It had a fundamental change on my approach to problems. Just realising that the thought of solving a problem was already creating new neural pathways was a revelation into how powerful thoughts and the imagination are.
I think I didn’t realise how much I feared change and making mistakes until learning about a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. In coding and in life, but just through the realisation that just merely the act of embracing and facing challenges head my ability to learn coding.
Also, realising that cultivating a growth mindset can help to develop a more calm approach to tackling a challenge and to not fear failure or the possibility of failure but to rather see it as a learning opportunity to grow from.
I feel my approach to code has been given a boost as I realise now that even attempting the work will have a positive effect on my mind and thinking and it has definitely lifted my confidence.
How will you integrate growth mindset into your learning journey?
I think that just being aware of how much of a positive impact having a growth mindset can have, is pretty motivating in itself.
Since learning that, I’ve definitely developed less of a fear of javascript and of making mistakes. I’m much more inclined now to persevere with solving a problem knowing that even just persisting helps too.
For me and my continuing journey into code, I’ll be upping my practise and try to keep in mind that failure isn’t failure but just something I’ve not mastered yet. I’ve come to realise and appreciate now, how the power of one’s beliefs can literally shape your thinking.

Company Profile
Who We Are:
TFN Construction / Matcon Civil Joint Venture (TMJV) is a First Nation owned civil construction and environmental contracting firm operating out of the south coast of British Columbia.
TMJV was formed in the fall 2008 by Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) and Matcon Civil Constructors Inc. (Matcon). TFN Economic Development Corporation (TEDC), located in Tsawwassen, is wholly owned by TFN and is the majority owner of TMJV. TEDC is responsible for generating revenue and creating employment opportunities for TFN Members and Member businesses through partnerships, joint ventures and other development opportunities. Matcon, located in Langley, BC, specializes in large road construction and land development projects and is the largest division within the Matcon Group of Companies. The Matcon Group of Companies has combined annual revenues in excess of $110 Million.
The partnering of these two companies has created a strong competitive team that is building a portfolio of successfully bid profitable First Nation priority projects. In the seven years since TMJV was created it has secured over $45,000,000 in contracts in heavy civil construction and environmental contracting, generating significant economic benefits for TFN Members through revenue, paid wages and the contracting of TFN Members businesses.
First Nations Employment and Training:
One of TMJVs fundamental mandates is to encourage the participation of TFN Members and Members businesses. TMJV supports this mandate by providing preferential employment opportunities to TFN Members, their businesses, and to other First Nations. All TMJV employees enjoy equal benefits as Matcon Civil Constructors employees, and as such are governed under Matcons collective bargaining agreement.
TMJV works closely with the Aboriginal Skills Group (ASG) and the First Nations Employment Society (FNES) to provide on the job experience for students, and to source qualified graduates of their programs. In addition, TMJV provides both internal training and facilitates access to external training programs such as Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems, Traffic Control, Pesticide Application, and all levels of Occupational First Aid.
Recognition:
With an Aboriginal workforce as high as 85% of total project workforce, TFN Construction / Matcon Civil Joint Venture was selected as an Outstanding Business Achiever for the 2011 BC Aboriginal Business Awards. In 2012, the Industry Council for Aboriginal Business awarded TMJV the Partnership and Collaboration Visionary Award for exemplifying leadership and best practices in the development of a business relationship that elicits mutually-beneficial initiatives and outcomes between industry and a First Nation.

TMJV manages what is currently the largest structural preload project in the Lower Mainland at Tsawwassen First Nation. Additional works at Tsawwassen First Nation include the filling, placing and compacting of approximately 400 acres of the First Nations Treaty lands for future industrial development that will provide invaluable long term economic and employment opportunities for the community. In addition to the structural preloading, TMJV is managing the reclamation, construction and maintenance of a 2km Greenway Berm bordering the industrial lands and residential community that will function as urban open space that supports both fish and wildlife habitat and community use.Key / Major clients:
