5 Reasons to Skip: Junji Ito Collection
Posted by Casper on January 20, 2020 January 12, 2020
#1 The selection
I have been a long-time fan of Junji Ito's works and have been trying to get a hold of his short stories, which only recently started getting re-released in English. When I heard the Junji Ito Collection was coming out, that was a pretty hype moment for me.
However, this presented the question of what stories would be included in this collection and I do have to voice my disappointment in this regard. The series is off to a very weak start with the awkward and poorly-paced Souichi's Convenient Curse. A story that is a generic horror plot about a boy cursing his classmates with old-timey rituals. It's overlong, lacks any kind of scares, and just kind of ends without anything ever actually happening or changing. The first episode then crams in Hell Doll Funeral, which is maybe a minute long and gets no time to build-up a story or atmosphere before throwing a scary image on screen and calling it a day.
The anime does feature more renowned stories like Fashion Model and Window Next Door, but they are sparser than I would have liked. At the same time, I can't fathom how they managed to make a compilation series of Junji Ito's works and somehow failed to include the Enigma of Amigara Vault or The Hanging Balloons. By far the man's most famous and recognizable works in terms of short stories.
I will admit I was pretty happy to see Smashed in there though.
#2 TV format
I think the Junji Ito Collection would have thrived much better if it was released as an ONA without set timeslots.
In this particular storyline, the monster is a static picture and doesn't even have mouth flaps.
As it stands, each episode is cut up between two different stories that together have to fill a regular TV slot, which makes it feel like stories were chosen based on what they could fit together rather than their qualities or what fans would have liked to see. I feel it would have been nicer if each episode was a standalone story that got as much time as it needed. This would be especially ideal if it meant we could get more stories adapted, instead of whatever Studio DEEN could fit into a regular 12-episode TV cour.
Alternatively, at a stretch, I would even say it would have been better if they only did a single story per TV episode and added in anime-original content to expand on the characters a bit more. Some stories feel rushed and characterization has always been a weak point in Ito's writing, so I feel a chance was missed here either way.
#3 Upsettingly poor visuals
Without a doubt, Junji Ito is one of the best artists of our time. His work is beautiful in its hideousness and his manga is perhaps the only literary work that has managed to do cosmic horror well within the medium. It's not easy to legitimately scare people with an illustration, yet Ito manages it so well each and every time, whether it's for a short story exploring a new concept or some of his longer works.
This makes it all the more upsetting that his fantastic stories were brought to animation looking like the picture above. The colors are washed-out and the entire presentation feels flat and boring. Key moments like the reveal of monsters or the big scare moments are robbed of all their impact, lazily-traced and often so static they might as well have just scanned a page of the manga and put it in there.
A lot of the gore and filth that is so horrifically put unto paper in Ito's manga looks fake and lacking in the anime, even though it now has color and movement. Meanwhile, Ito's iconic monsters are rendered ineffective by lazy animation and cheesy voice-acting.
#4 Disposable characters
This isn't a flaw of the adaptation in particular, but really an ongoing problem with Ito's short stories in general. Characters are really just a driving force for Ito to build-up some monster or explore a horror concept. They are simplistic victims and little more.
Ito's "characters" are interchangeable and most of them look very similar, which is a side-effect of his more realistic artstyle. Little to no time goes towards developing them or giving the audience a reason to care about their well-being. Marionette Mansion ends up being a good example: the main character is reunited with a childhood crush and we get maybe 2 conversations before she is attacked by that story's villain. It doesn't even establish if they are just friends or if they are dating.
Storylines like Gentle Goodbye reveal that Ito is capable of writing actual characters, and I really wish he would do more of that. His horror is so much more effective when it targets characters that have actual effort put into them.
#5 Town Without Streets
Fuck Town Without Streets.
I have never liked this story. It jumps between various ideas that only feel tangentially related, starting off with a story of a "Jack the Ripper" before transitioning to the tale of a girl whose entire family spies on her through holes and openings in her room. She gets fed up and leaves to go live with an aunt, who turns out to live in a city of convoluted streets where nobody has privacy at all. It has a token Ito monster included, a forgettable villain, and it's overlong to top it all of.
Adding to all of that, this adaptation has censored it beyond all sense. Nudity was very central to the story and the theme of privacy, but a nudist character has now been censored to just wear a bra and panties, and fairly modest ones at that.
Not only did they have to include the only Ito story I can't stand, they also managed to bodge its entire point with censorship. Just great.

I would say the comics are better because they retain the creepy factor which color and live action takes away from it, I know he is very popular but comics are wayyyy better than any other format.

How much time do you spend in the car with your children? Why not make the most of these opportunities?
1 – Talk about your day – What went well, what do we need to pray about?
2 – Use a tool like "Faith Talk Cards" (See Below) to initiate conversations you might not normally have.
3 – Let your kids play one of their songs, then after the song is over discuss the Lyrics.
Are your kids involved in sports of other activities?
1 – Talk beforehand about what it means to be a follower of Jesus and an athlete or participant.
2 – Talk afterwards about the event and how God was involved or could be involved in the future.
Do you watch TV or go to the movies with your kids?
2 – Use the Wisdom Deck (See Below) to come up with Biblical Wisdom that might have helped the characters.
3 – Discuss on following Jesus leads us in our decisions about what Movies and TV shows we will watch.
4 – Find Christian shows or Movies to enjoy together.
Do you go on vacations or do special things on holidays?
1 – Remember that our example and model is what our kids learn from the most. Its hard to teach our children to honor the Sabbath if we skip church for vacations or holidays.
2 – If you really want your kids to learn the importance of worship – make sure to make it a part of your vacations and holidays. Either find a local church where ever you happen to be, or plan a special family worship experience.
Do you have time in the morning when everyone is getting ready for school and work?
1 – Make sure to begin your day with Jesus. Pray together and ask God to be a part of your day.
2 – Ask your children what's going on in their lives during the day. Tell them about your day. Then pray for each other.
3 – Share a family devotion or read the Bible together over breakfast.
Do you have some time with your family before going to bed at night?
1 – Family Devotions! There is nothing we can do to up the odds more that our kids will fall in love with Jesus then doing family devotions. They don't have to be long or fancy – just get together to read the Bible and talk about your faith.
3 – When kids are clean and all snuggled in their beds, its often a great time to talk with them. Talk about your day – what went well, what didn't go so well. Talk about being a follower of Jesus and how great it is to know and love Him, and to be blessed by Him.

So this summer I have been focusing on productivity and self fulfillment. Towards the end of my freshman year of college I was getting overwhelmed with balancing my work with the boy drama that was going on. I wasn't being productive in achieving the goals I set for myself, and I was definitely not pleased that my happiness was being influenced by a silly boy. I decided that the summer would be a good time to take a step back and get myself together. So this season's board is inspired by my journey towards self fulfillment and productivity!!! You will see little hints of the two themes throughout the board mixed in with my usual girly aesthetic.

Lotso did greet guests for a time at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately this meet and greet has been discontinued and Lotso is no longer there. I strongly doubt that you'll be able to meet him during a 2012 visit. If you just want to see Lotso, you can find him in the Pixar Pals parade at Hollywood Studios, held every afternoon, usually at 3:00.
However, just to be sure, I would stop by any of the guest relations offices at the parks. Ask them to call the "character hotline" for you. The hotline will be able to confirm whether Lotso is making any surprise appearances during the time of your visit.

Q: Pandas stack groupby to DataFrame MultiIndex without aggregating Several questions posted about transforming pandas groupby object to DataFrame seem to involve aggregation, as e.g. count() here.
Can a groupby object be converted to a DataFrame without aggregating, where the group names become level 0 of a MultiIndex? and can this process be iterated?
from pandas import DataFrame as DF

df = DF.from_dict({'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3, 'd':4, 'e':5}, orient='index')

would like the output of the grouping:
df.groupby(lambda x: df[0][x]%2)

converted to this form:
DF.from_dict({0:{'b':2,'d':4},1:{'a':1,'c':3,'e':5}},orient='index').stack().to_frame()

(besides the point, why are values converted to floats?)

A: Use pd.concat, it accepts a dictionary:
pd.concat({k: v for k, v in df.groupby(lambda x: df.loc[x, 0] % 2)})

     0
0 b  2
  d  4
1 a  1
  c  3
  e  5

Iterate over each group and build your dictionary. The dictionary can be constructed using a dictionary comprehension.

A slightly faster solution not involving a callable can be done with,
pd.concat({k: v for k, v in df.groupby(df.iloc[:,0] % 2)})

     0
0 b  2
  d  4
1 a  1
  c  3
  e  5

If you need, do this again and again, try a function,
def add_level(df, grouper):
    return pd.concat({k: v for k, v in df.groupby(by=grouper)})

r = add_level(df, df.iloc[:,0] % 3)
add_level(r, r.iloc[:, 0] % 2)

       0
0 1 d  4
  2 b  2
1 0 c  3
  1 a  1
  2 e  5

A: Using assign chain with set_index
df.assign(indexlevel=np.arange(len(df))%2).\
    set_index('indexlevel',append=True).\
      swaplevel(0,1).\
       sort_index(level=0)
Out[30]:
              0
indexlevel
0          a  1
           c  3
           e  5
1          b  2
           d  4

Transparency is country's sovereign right (II)
I. The meaning and objective of the national provisions of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution and its implementing legislation The factual and legal grounds for the adoption and formulation of the whole context of the national regulation on incompatible capacities of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution should be first clarified, in order to specify the objective that is pursued by these important national provisions. A. The occasio constitutionis of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution The adoption of the constitutional provision of article 14, par. 9, was not an arbitrary choice of the Greek legislator during the revision of the Constitution. This particular provision, with respect to its aim, was supported by all the country's political forces and was finally voted by the 7th Reviewing Parliament in 2001 with an increased majority. This was due to the fact that all political parties together recognized the critical situation that existed in Greece in relation to distortion of the media's role and, consequently, to the existence of phenomena of undue influence exercised by the media over the country's economic and political life. This specific problem of non-transparency which appeared in Greece is indeed of a particular nature, beyond the limits of usual corruption, which is characterized by proven and direct influence of third parties on a specific public law relationship, contractual or non contractual. The non-transparency issue, which the domestic legal order was called upon to remedy, is mainly due to the aforementioned distortion of the media's role and mission because of the pursuing on the part of participants in some of them of major financial transactions with the state itself, and thus to their indirect but still existing – and consequently not easily to avert or be proven – influence on the state's financial operations and in particular on the conclusion of public contracts. These phenomena of non- transparency had led to an unbearable situation that generates motives and creates the risk of such unlawful influence, a «latent influence», which cannot be covered by the common provisions on corruption. Intense problems of transparency have been highlighted – in particular in its last 2004 report – by the internationally recognized non-governmental organization «International Transparency», as well. The report, in fact, speaks positively of the efforts made by Greece to impose transparency rules in the media and public contract sectors by virtue of the provisions of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution and its implementing legislation. As a result, precisely because of the special nature of the phenomenon of non-transparency in the country's internal public life and the inconspicuous and indirect processes that generate such phenomenon, there was no other solution for overcoming it, given the special circumstances of the Greek case, than the specific regulation of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution. The reason for this is that imperative reasons of public interest rendered necessary the reviewing of the Greek Constitution to this direction. If that issue of non-transparency in the public sector had not reached such proportions and was not characterized by the above mentioned special circumstances, the need to review article 14 of the Constitution would not have arisen. B. The ratio constitutionis of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution The answer to the questions you have posed logically requires that the legitimate aim, under Community law, pursued by the critical national provisions, and mainly of the Greek Constitution, be substantiated. In accordance with the provision of article 14, par. 9 of the Constitution, «the assets, the financial situation and the sources of funding of the media should become known, as the law defines. A law specifies the measures and restrictions, which are necessary to fully ensure the transparency and plurality of information. It is forbidden to have a controlling stake in more than one media of the same or other type. It is especially forbidden to control more than one electronic medium of the same type, as stipulated by the law. The capacity of owner, partner, «basic» shareholder or executive of a media company is incompatible with the capacity of owner, partner, «basic» shareholder or executive of a company that undertakes, for the State or a legal entity of the wider public sector, the execution of public works or procurements or the provision of services. The prohibition of the previous subparagraph also applies to any kind of related persons such as spouses, relatives, financially dependent persons or companies. Law specifies the particular provisions, the sanctions, which may extend to the revoking of a radio or television station's license, the interdiction to conclude agreements or the cancellation of the relevant agreement, as well as the methods of control and the guarantees for avoiding circumventions of the foregoing subparagraphs». Under these provisions, the constitutional legislator prohibits the major financial transactions (of considerable financial consideration) between the media and the state, in particular in the public contracts sector, considering that such transactions, which depart from the media's mission, create a serious risk of distorting both the latter's role as well as the state's economic functions. This is because, it is commonly accepted that the media, in general, and especially, the radio-television media, exert decisive influence on forming the public opinion and, in the end, the country's political life. Therefore, the provision of information to citizens by the mass media, which are involved in direct financial transactions with the state, have as a consequence, by definition, a risk that such activity is not intended to provide pluralistic and objective information to people, but to present and comment on facts related to the state's activity in a way tending to serve the media's private economic interests within the courses of their relationship with the state authority. As a result, the ratio of the national constitutional provision and the provisions of the implementing laws is to prevent the creation of situations (which because the owner of an information medium is at the same time the contractor of a public contract) may, in general, create the risk of distorting plurality and objectivity of information, as common experience has shown, and therefore, render appealing the exercise of undue influence on the state's economic operations and in particular on the awarding of contracts, in an indirect and inconspicuous manner and thus not easily prevented or proven. The purpose therefore is not to control the common cases of corruption by dealing after the fact with these particularly severe forms of violation of legality – for which the relevant Directives provide, as explained below- but to combat the lack of transparency, which creates an intolerable situation that generates motives as well as risk of undue influence by the mass media on public life and of distortion of the plurality and objectivity of information. This applies, in particular, to radio and television, considering the express provision of article 15, par. 2 of the Greek Constitution, according to which, the objective of the mass media is, inter alia, «to broadcast information and news objectively and under equal conditions for all, as well as products of literary and artistic creation…as imposed by the social mission of radio and television and the country's cultural development…». It is noted that this aim and, in particular, the principle of pluralism and objectivity for the operation of the mass media, is an aim of democratic, social and cultural public policy aiming at protecting the general interest, which is recognized by Community law. The principle of pluralism does not merely rely on the existence of a large number of mass media companies, operating under the principles of free competition, but mainly on the way in which they operate so that they are able to express a range of political, social, philosophical and cultural trends. In accordance with their mission and the pluralism principle, therefore, the mass media's aim is also to criticize the activities of any public authority, without being driven by any self-interested considerations relating to this authority. It is evident that, because of that role, the media, and especially the radio and television, that use public resources, such as frequencies, may not deviate from their mission either by infringing the principle of pluralism and objectivity, or even more so, by supporting, directly or indirectly, private interests in order to exert an undue influence over state authority. Consequently, the national constitutional legislator has regulated this issue by pursuing to satisfy the imperative public interest requirements, consisting of guaranteeing the pluralism and objectivity of the mass media, whilst protecting the state's economic functions. Both these aims lead to safeguarding transparency in the country's economic and political life, as was acknowledged by the Council of State (Conseil d' Etat) in decision 1882/2003 (of its 7-member chamber), as well as in decisions 3242 and 3243/2004 (which referred the case to the plenary session of the Court). In fact, the particular provision of paragraph 9 of article 14 of the Constitution was deemed to be so important that the Council of State, after an extensive analysis of the importance of the aim of the constitutional provision, explicitly concluded, in the abovementioned decisions, that this provision aims, inter alia, to preventing undue influence on the formation of political life, «which could lead, in the end, to the distortion of popular sovereignty which constitutes (article 1, par. 2 of the Constitution) the cornerstone of democracy». The Constitution's implementing laws (3021/2002 and 3310/2005) achieve the specific objective of the constitutional legislator through the control exercised by an Independent Authority enshrined in the Constitution, the Greek National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV), in order to determine whether the provisions on the incompatibility of functions between the mass media companies and those concluding public contracts are violated. Because of the fundamental importance of the objective pursued and the rights protected, this control is performed for every public contract (exceeding Euro 1 million), with the view to avoiding, to the extent possible, infringements and circumventions of the law that have as a consequence the distortion of the mass media's role and deviation from their mission, resulting further in seriously damaging the country's political life and its economic activities, in accordance with the above. Taking into consideration the the EC Treaty, as numbered after the Treaty of Amsterdam, this objective is a legitimate objective (but legitime) that unquestionably aims at safeguarding imperative requirements (exigencies imperatives), such as the observance of transparency in the state's economic functions by avoiding the exercise of undue influence, the prevention, for such reason, of any distortion in the development of free competition, and the exclusion of any phenomena relating to the operation of mass media, not in order to provide objective information and exercise criticism, but instead in order to further promote the mass media private interests related to the use of undue influence on state authority, in violation of pluralism (ECJ 26.6.1997, Vereinigte Familiapress Zeitungsverlags-und vertriebs BmbH c/ Heinrich Bauer Verlag, C-368-96, Comp. 1997, 1 p. 03689, ECJ 3.2.1993, Vewreniging Veronica Omroep Organisatie contre Commissariaat voor de media, C-148-91, Comp. 1993, 1, p. 00487, ECJ 25.6.1991, Stichting Collectieve Antennevoorzieing Gouda et autres c/ Commissariaat voor de Media, C-288/89, Comp. 1991, 1, p.04007). In accordance, furthermore, with the decision «Veronica» (C-148/91) which decided that the Dutch law on electronic mass media is compatible with Community law: «… the Mediawet is designed to establish a pluralistic and non commercial broadcasting system and thus forms part of a cultural policy intended to safeguard, in the audio-visual sector, the freedom of expression of the various (in particular social, cultural, religious and philosophical) components existing in the Netherlands….. . Those cultural-policy objectives are objectives relating to the public interest which a Member State may legitimately pursue by formulating the statutes of its own broadcasting organizations in an appropriate manner. Article 57(1) of the Mediawet contributes to the attainment of those objectives. It seeks to prohibit national broadcasting organizations from engaging in activities which are alien to the tasks assigned to them by the Law or undermine the aims thereof, in the view of the Commissariaat voor de Media. Thus, in particular, it provides that the financial resources available to the national broadcasting organizations to enable them to ensure pluralism in the audio-visual sector must not be diverted from that purpose and used for purely commercial ends».

The latest reviewed version was checked on 10 September 2018. There are 2 pending changes awaiting review.
Data structures are groups of related data items, organising data related to a real world problem. They consist of 1, 2 or 3 dimensional arrays which store data based on an index, records based around representative fields, stacks/queues which hold data based on when it was added, binary trees which contain nodes of data, lists holding data with pointers and hash tables holding data in a storage table.
There are 2 types of data structures, static and dynamic. Static data structures have a pre-defined size declared at the start of the program, which cannot be changed while the program is running. The advantage to a static structure is that the memory (RAM) requirements will be known. Dynamic data structures can expand and contract as the program runs. The necessary data can be added in, provided there is enough space in memory. The only issue with dynamic data structures is that they're much harder to implement.
Each data structure is useful for a different purpose. The efficiency is measured based upon how long the data takes to search through as the number of elements is increased. This is shown via Big o Notation.
An array is a static set of elements of the same datatype, stored in a linear fashion. Each element is accessed by its index, with the first element having an index of 0 and each subsequent element being iterated by 1. To access the data in the array you specify the name of your array and which element you want to access, for example employees(0) to get the data for the first element.
2-Dimensional (2D) arrays can be thought of as tables or just simply multiple 1-Dimensional (1D) arrays. To access an element in a 2D array you must specify the index of the column you wish to access and the index of the row you wish to access. This is formatted as (row, column). To declare a 2D array, two square brackets are used (one to indicate the start of a 2D array and the other to indicate the start of an element).
// Sales for the month of January.
// Sales for the month of February.
3-Dimensional (3D) arrays are multiple 2D arrays grouped together or a collection of tables. Provided we have the table number, the column and the row, the data can be accessed (table number, row, column).
A record is a set of data items all related to a single individual or entity. Unlike an array, a record can contain data of different types. An example of a record is shown below.
A pile of pancakes is the same as a stack - it's a LIFO structure.
A stack is a LIFO data structure: Last In, First Out. This means data is removed in the opposite order to which it was added, with the most recent entry being the first to go. Think of it like a pile of pancakes - the top one has to be eaten before you can access any other pancakes underneath it. An example of a stack is the 'Undo' feature; the last thing you write is the first to be removed. A stack can be implemented simply by using an array; just use a pointer for the topmost item. Adding data to a stack is known as pushing, whilst removing data is called popping.
A queue, on the other hand, is a First In, First Out (FIFO) data structure. Data is removed in the order it was added, much like a conventional queue. Queues are used in printers to ensure jobs are printed in the order they arrive, and as a keyboard buffer to ensure each key is processed in sequence. Implementing a queue can also be done using an array, but this requires both a pointer for the top entry, and for the bottom, making it much more difficult to do effectively. The two methods used in a queue are 'enqueue' and 'dequeue'.
Output "Stack is empty - cannot pop."
topItem = topItem - 1   //  We must point to the previous item in the stack.
Output "Stack is full - cannot push."
Output "Item added to the stack."
Output "Queue is full - cannot enqueue."
Output "Queue is empty - cannot dequeue."
A linked list is a set of data elements, where each element contains the data itself and pointer to the next element. The final element has a pointer to a rogue value (NULL), signifying the end of the list. The advantages of using a linked list are that new items can be inserted into a linked list without rearranging all the other elements. Linked lists can be implemented using a 2D table where the first entry of each row would contain the data, whilst the second entry would be the pointer, containing the row index for the next data point. To remove data from a linked list you adjust the node before it to point to the item after it, bypassing the link, but preserving the order of items.
This is a linked list with pointers and a rogue value "null".
A binary search tree is composed of nodes and the links between them. Each node has up to two more coming off it, similar in design to a family tree or a factor tree. The most important aspect of a binary search tree, is that the data on the left branch must be less than the data in the root node, and the data on the right branch must be more than the data held in the root node. A binary tree is said to be balanced if nodes are evenly distributed across the tree, giving a minimum height. An unbalanced tree has many more nodes on one side than the other.
This is an approximately balanced binary tree, with the root node "8"
To add data to a binary search tree, begin by comparing the new entry to the current node. If the new data is greater, follow the right pointer, otherwise follow the left. Repeat this process until there is no pointer to follow for the correct direction. Create a new pointer here, in the direction given by the comparison and insert the new data at the end. If you are asked to draw a binary search tree given a list of data, follow this procedure for each data piece in order.
You could be asked to represent a binary tree using a 2D array (table). Each element will have a numerical ID from left to right (8 would be 1, 3 would be 2, 10 would be 3,etc.) This can be done in a similar way to a linked list, with each row containing the data, the left pointer and the right pointer (using NULL if there is no pointer).
A hash table is a special type of data structure, where qualities of the data are used to decide where the data is to be stored. A hash table has two main parts - a hashing function and a storage table.
The hashing function plays the key role for a hash table. It is a secret function, known only to the developers, that decides where data should be stored, is based on replicable calculations that are derived from properties of the data itself. Hashing functions are usually very complex, but a simple example could be length(data) MOD 11. This would find the number of characters in a data entry, then find the remainder when dividing that value by 11. The number returned can then be used as an index in the storage table.
The problems with using a hash table also arise from the hashing function. It is important to use a hashing function that spreads data evenly in a table, and preferably over a wide range, to avoid two different data pieces being written to the same index. This is, however, impractical, especially if the hashing algorithm only has a limited number of outputs. A more practical solution is to have a new data structure at each index to allow multiple entries to be stored under there. This could be a linked list, or maybe even a new hashing table with it's own hashing function, but this will also increase the time taken for data storage and retrieval.

Aarni
For other uses, see Aarni (disambiguation).
Aarni is an avant-garde metal band from Finland, which consists primarily of Master Warjomaa and, occasionally, some session musicians. Although many sources claim the existence of other band members, these may be fictional characters[2] (probably created by Warjomaa himself) and include a French count born in the 17th century (Count of Saint-Germain), a cartoon character with a T-shirt with Aarni's logo (Doomintroll) and an old woman (Mistress Palm).
Epidemie Records[1]
Firedoom
Umbra Nihil
Aarni.info
Master Warjomaa
Aarni's music bears similarities to funeral doom metal (in Reaching Azathoth, for example) and has sometimes similarities to folk metal (The Weird of Vipunen). Their style has been described as almost orthodox doom metallish Lovecraftian-Jungian Kalevala avantgarde music. The band themselves sometimes use the term Chthonic Musick. The lyrics of Aarni include varied themes such as Finnish folklore, transhumanism, the works of H. P. Lovecraft, paganism, parapsychology, psychoanalytical theories and mythology. The lyrics have been sung in English, Finnish, Latin, and occasionally in Enochian, Ancient Egyptian, Ouranian Barbaric, Swedish, and Glossolalic.

Aarni was founded in 1998, in Finland, by Master Warjomaa (occasionally known as Mahatma M. Warjomaa). Master Warjomaa is also an active member of a doom metal band called Umbra Nihil, playing lead guitar.[3] Aarni released a demo in 2001, and a split album with Umbra Nihil the following year. After a second demo in 2002, Aarni released its first full-length album, Bathos, in 2004. Aarni was signed to Firebox Records's subsidiary label Firedoom Music, but is now signed to Epidemie Records.[1] Aarni released their second album, called Tohcoth, in February 2008. In late 2008 Aarni also released a CDR EP titled Omnimantia. In April 2012 Aarni released a split album with Persistence in Mourning.[4]
ControversyEdit
Band membersEdit
On Aarni's official website, the band section contains four members (also referred to as "Responsible Cultists"), as well as information concerning each of them. The four members of the band are Master Warjomaa, Comte de Saint-Germain, Doomintroll and Mistress Palm. Warjomaa commented on this in a 2004 interview:
The number of Aarni is five and five is the number of Aarni. Think a while about this and you will see... because Aarni consists of four personalities plus me. Why four? Because I've chosen to adhere to the (Jungian) concept of quaternity - four personality types, four seasons, four equinoxes, four elements, four stations of the sun, four stages of the human life, four cardinal directions, four Qabbalistic worlds, four limbs of the human body, four main themes in Aarni's songs, four basic human brain circuits of Timothy Leary's theory etc. Visualize the pentagram representing human existence: there's four points combined in/ruled by the fifth. It's all of course symbolic. Or is it?[5]
Master WarjomaaEdit
Master Warjomaa is the alias of the band's most stable member. According to the band's official website, Warjomaa was born in 1974.[6] It is stated that he is influenced by Joe Satriani, Taoism, Camel, and H. P. Lovecraft, that he belongs to the Homo Superior species, and that his favorite place is Cydonia. Along with many other artists, Warjomaa has named Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Hawkwind, King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator as his musical influences.[7] In a fan interview in June 2006, Warjomaa stated:
"While I prefer a female unicorn deity to a gaseous alpha male vertebrate of cosmic heft anytime, I'd rather choose no deity or deities at all. I think it's high time we stopped worshiping gods and started to aim at becoming gods."[8]
Comte de Saint GermainEdit
Le Comte de Saint Germain (translated from French: "The Count of Saint Germain") is one of the members of Aarni. His role in the band has been stated as "Sensation, alchemical processes and keys to secrets".[9] It is written that he was born in 1665 and is an "ex-human". It is not stated whether le Comte de Saint Germain was an actual individual that lived centuries ago or if he is an entirely fictional character. It may be possible that le Comte de Saint Germain has something to do with the Count of St Germain, an actual count living in the 18th century.
Doomintroll & Mistress PalmEdit
Doomintroll has been represented by a cartoon-style drawing of a person with a very prominent nose, a pipe in the mouth, the Aarni logo on the T-shirt, and a hand sticking up the middle finger. According to Aarni he "originated" in 1998,[10] (also the date of the formation of Aarni) which would make him 6 years old at the time of the release of the band's first full-length album. It is written that Doomintroll belongs to the "Duumipeikko" species. "Duumipeikko", roughly translated from Finnish, gives "Doomintroll". This is a reference to the popular Finnish cartoon series, Moomin, in which Muumipeikko is one of the main characters. According to Doomintroll, the band wants to support the anarcho-shamanistic attitude of moomintrolls.[11]
Mistress Palm (also referred to as Mrs. Palm) is the fourth claimed band member. She is depicted as a rather elderly woman in an apron holding a dish brush and opening her mouth in dismay. She has been thought to be a computer program or artificial, phlogiston-driven rectoplasm.[12]
WebsiteEdit
At the top of the band page is written "4=1".[13] The motive of this equation is maybe to consider the situation of the 4 declared members and one actual member and/or can be a reference to the Jungian concept of quaternity. On the news page (also referred to as the "Unspeakable Tidings"), the news are listed chronologically. However the dates are said to be written in the form corresponding to these in the Discordian calendar. These dates follow the "DD/SS/YYYY" form, as stated on the official website.[14] Therefore, e.g. the year 2007 CE is noted as 3173 AM.
LyricsEdit
The lyrics have been sung in English, Finnish, Latin, and occasionally in French, Ancient Egyptian, Glossolalic, Swedish, Ouranian Barbaric and Enochian.[15] In several songs, the lyrics refer to the Cthulhu Mythos.
In "Squaring The Circle", the lyrics say "zero equals two". This may be a reference to the ideas of Aleister Crowley and similar to the "4=1" statement on top of the band page of the official website. In "The Thunder, Perfect Mindfuck", it is said "I am the shameless and I am ashamed" as well as "I am falsehood and I am truth". These could be considered paradoxical and controversial as the Gnostic poem the lyrics seem to be based upon, The Thunder, Perfect Mind.

"Mental Fugue" - 6:49
"Niut Net Meru" - 9:20
"Kesäyö" - 8:59
VV from Umbra Nihil played session drums on the album. Oneiroscope means 'an instrument for watching dreams'. V.I.T.R.I.O.L. is an acronym for "Visita interiora terrae rectificandoque invenies occultum lapidem" in Latin, meaning "Visit the innermost of the earth and by rectifying what is there, you will find the hidden stone." The Thunder, Perfect Mindfuck refers to the gnostic poem The Thunder, Perfect Mind.
The Bathos cover was painted by Tuomas M. Mäkelä (of the ambient band Jääportit) based partially on an earlier artwork he had done. Magister Warjomaa said about it: "We wanted a colourful cover, because I feel very bored with the usual dark-hued album art most metal bands choose for some pathetic reason. But mainly we wanted that cover because to us it has a spaced-out, candlylike and pleasing feeling. THC green feels such a beautiful color..."
TohcothEdit
Tohcoth was released through Epidemie Records on February 19, 2008. The Enochian title was taken from the works of Dr. John Dee: "This name comprehendeth the number of all the fayries, who are diuels next to the state and condition of man".[19] This album featured Sampo Marjomaa as a guest vocalist.[20]
The Tohcoth cover artwork was realized by Genius Albert Frankenstein & Master Warjomaa.

Editorial Editorial (April 09, 2004)
Pombo's freeway gains Congressional support
We were glad to hear U.S. Rep. Richard Pombo (R., 11th) reaffirm his commitment Monday to build a new freeway that would link Interstate 5 directly to the Bay Area's largest city, San Jose. The proposed six-lane freeway would provide a direct 23-mile-long link for a growing workforce of commuters in the more affordable and fast-developing communities of Newman, Patterson and other Stanislaus County cities along I-5 to their jobs in the Silicon Valley. It would also spare them 80-mile-long commutes each way across the Altamont Pass where they crowd in with 140,000 other motorists who have no option other than traveling on I-205 or I-580 between their homes in Tracy and the Central Valley to work in Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon and beyond. Of course, the Patterson area commuters could drive south to Highway 152 and snake along with 30,000 other daily commuters across Pacheco Pass, which would make for even longer, more stressful travel.
Pombo's freeway is actually not a new plan. A proposed limited access highway has been on state and regional maps for years. But until business development started booming in the early 1980s, followed by escalating housing prices, there wasn't much reason for San Jose and Peninsula employees to buy homes across the Diablo Range. Now there is. Drive along I-5 today from Newman north and the landscape is dotted with billboards advertising spacious homes under $200,000. New supermarkets and retail stores have become more abundant, and customers find them open late to accommodate the evening shopping needs of a growing population of commuters who finally reach home after two or three hours of driving across the Altamont. They and their families would be the first to benefit by the direct east-west roadway proposed by our Congressman. Commuters who live in San Joaquin cities far to the north might also find their commute times reduced by both fewer cars across the Altamont or by traveling south on I-5 to this new freeway to the businesses where they work in southern Santa Clara County.
Pombo and Congressional colleague and House Transportation Committee Chairman U.S. Rep. Don Young (R., Alaska) were in town Monday to talk about last week's passage of a federal transportation bill they had championed. Along with securing funding for a study of the proposed Mount Hamilton Range freeway, the two also announced that more than $30 million in roadway funds will soon be available for transportation projects in Pombo's 11th Congressional District, which includes Pleasanton. Then they took off by private plane to check out freeway congestion in the area, including a flight over the expansive mountain range of ranches and open space east of San Jose's Alum Rock Avenue corridor where Pombo hopes the new freeway will be built.
The federal land use study will determine if the roadway can be built with a minimum of disruption to the open space areas north of the Lick Observatory in the largely barren Diablo Range, a concern of environmentalists. If it can, look for Pombo and Young to seek additional funds to get the project started to serve a surging Central Valley-to-San Jose commuter population that now must use I-580 and oftentimes Pleasanton city streets to reach their destinations.

Bellinger on Bush-Obama Continuities & KSM Trial
Steve Clemons - March 19, 2010
The Dutch premier newspaper, the NRC Handelsblad, has this past week run a candid interview done by DC Bureau Chief Tom-Jan Meeus with John Bellinger III, who is defending Obama administration attorneys from vicious attacks launched by Liz Cheney.
Bellinger served as Condoleezza Rice's senior counsel at the Department of State and also was the senior lawyer serving at the National Security Council during Rice's tenure there. Bellinger was one of the most active opponents within the Bush administration to the torture-embracing legal culture promulgated by Cheney National Security Adviser and later Chief of Staff David Addington.
Here is the entire interview in English, but I pulled these interesting quotes:
ON RICE
. . .I think that many of the initiatives she took as Secretary of State have been continued by the Obama administration. The big policy changes were implemented on her watch, in Bush' second term. And Obama obviously has the same pragmatic and moderate approach."
ON THE SIMILARITY OF BUSH' AND OBAMA'S TERROR POLICIES:
Q: The bottom line is that the Bush and Obama terrorism policies are very similar?
JB: Oh, absolutely. The military commissions have been maintained. The policy of renditions has been maintained. The idea of holding people indefinitely under the laws of war and without trials has been maintained. There has been no movement on the Geneva Conventions. The president has said he affirms the conventions but the president has not announced that he holds these people as prisoners of war. So all the policies that soured U.S. relations with Europe during the Bush administration have been continued. There has been more continuity than change."
ON TRYING KSM ON A MILTARY BASE:
Q: The possibility is raised that Khalid Sheikh Mohamed will not be tried in a civilian court. How do you see that?
JB: I hope it is not true. I think the administration would prefer that not to happen. It will be an embarrassing reversal of their policies. (…) And it is hard to tell at this point where the Obama administration will come out. I think the administration is still trying to do this on a safe facility, perhaps a military base. I know that they explore both the legality and the practicality of establishing a federal court, for a one time purpose, in the middle of a military base."
I think that John Bellinger is right that Obama's steps thus forward in managing combat detainees have been very similar to the Bush administration. This is regrettable as I think that former White House Counsel Gregory Craig was on the right track in getting GITMO shut down and a better legal process in place before Rahm Emanuel derailed his efforts.
Bellinger is also opposed to a military tribunal solution for KSM's trial — and essentially rebukes Liz Cheney's campaign against Obama administration Department of Justice lawyers with his comments about the continuity between the Bush and Obama policies.
Interesting read.

Small claims - Austria
Please note that the original language version of this page has been amended recently. The language version you are now viewing is currently being prepared by our translators.
1 Existence of a specific small claims procedure
1.1 Scope of procedure, threshold
1.2 Application of procedure
1.3 Forms
1.4 Assistance
1.5 Rules concerning the taking of evidence
1.6 Written procedure
1.7 Content of judgment
1.8 Reimbursement of costs
1.9 Possibility to appeal
There is no small claims procedure as such in Austrian law. The Austrian Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) only provides for a simplified procedure in certain matters brought before the District Courts. As a rule, these are special procedural rules or a simplified procedure for purely financial disputes which fall under the jurisdiction of the District Courts (amount in dispute of EUR 15 000 or less, rising to EUR 20 000 from 1 January 2015 and EUR 25 000 from 1 January 2016). Certain procedural simplifications may be applied in cases involving labour and social security law, irrespective of the amount in dispute.
As a rule, these simplifications apply to small claims of up to EUR 1 000 (see point 1.5) or EUR 2 700 (see point 1.9).
The specific rules for small claims under Austrian procedural law are mandatory and the parties cannot opt out of them.
Thus neither the court nor the parties can transfer the claim to 'ordinary' proceedings.
As there is no small claims procedure in Austria, there are no particular forms for such claims.
Legal representation is not compulsory in Austria for amounts in dispute of up to EUR 5 000. Judges must provide assistance to parties with no legal representation, i.e. they must advise the parties of their procedural rights and obligations and of the legal consequences of their acts and omissions. Parties are also able to register their claim orally before the District Court with jurisdiction or the District Court in their place of residence. If a written submission by a party with no legal representation is inadequate, the judge must give that party an appropriate explanation and guidance. The judge's impartiality must not be compromised by this.
In the case of claims of EUR 1 000 or less, the court can disregard the evidence offered by the party if full clarification of all the relevant circumstances would be disproportionately difficult. Here too, however, the judge must make a non-arbitrary decision in good faith, based on the outcome of the proceedings as a whole. This decision may be reviewed at successive stages of appeal.
Austrian law does not allow proceedings to be conducted entirely in writing. However, as there is no restriction of evidence in Austria, witness statements can be presented in writing. However, such evidence is treated as documentary evidence rather than testimony.
Under the Austrian Code of Civil Procedure, if judgment is pronounced orally, less stringent requirements apply to the written copy of the judgment, irrespective of the amount in dispute. If a judgment was pronounced orally in the presence of both parties and neither party appealed against it in time, the court can issue an 'abbreviated copy of the judgment' confined to the main grounds for the decision.
Under Austrian law, costs in civil cases are generally reimbursed in proportion to the degree of success. Both court costs and legal fees are linked directly to the amount in dispute. As a rule, therefore, a smaller amount in dispute will result in lower court costs and legal fees. As costs are laid down in acts and regulations in the form of tariffs, costs can be kept down for small claims. However, there are no special cost rules for this type of claim.
Austrian law only allows limited rights of appeal in small claims proceedings. Appeals in proceedings on claims of up to EUR 2 700 are only allowed on points of law or on grounds of invalidity (extremely serious procedural errors). Other procedural errors cannot be challenged, nor can the findings on the facts or the assessment of the evidence by the Court of First Instance. Otherwise, the rules for the 'ordinary' procedure apply.

While realloc() need to copy the allocation, this uses a bitwise copy operation, that will tear several C++ objects to shreds. C++ objects must be allowed to copy themselves. They employ their own copy constructor or assignment operator.
Besides of all, the heap that new uses might not be the similar as the heap that malloc() and realloc() use!
Write discussion on Can i employ realloc() on pointers allocated through new?

If you need to talk to VIPP about relinquishing a cat, please call (206) 389-1085 or email cats@vipp.org For dogs- call same number or email dogs@vipp.org.
It is VIPP's policy to accept Vashon/Maury dogs, subject to available resources. VIPP is not obligated to accept a dog that has been reported as being aggressive.
Any dog with an unknown history should be evaluated for temperament by a trained individual, who has been approved by the Board of Directors (BOD), prior to intake into the VIPP system.
Boarding for up to two weeks can be provided during evaluation if necessary. If the animal is deemed not likely to be trainable or, a danger to the community, the dog will be returned to the owner. If the owner refuses to take the dog back, or if the owner has abandoned or was abusive to the dog, VIPP will find an appropriate placement.
If the animal is deemed trainable, VIPP will use resources available in the form of volunteers and training programs to help make the dog adoptable.
If a dog is found to be dangerous due to aggression after relinquished to VIPP, the dog will be immediately removed from the foster home and professionally kenneled. At this time VIPP dog volunteers will have 15 days to assess the situation and make a recommendation to the BOD.
Anything that will help us place the animal in the right home. If you are able to make a donation to support your relinquished animal's care - VIPP appreciates that very much.
As a "No Kill" organization, Vashon Island Pet Protectors also known as VIPP will accept, care for, and re-home Vashon Island dogs and cats. No animal in our care will be euthanized due to lack of space, age, or treatable medical condition.
Euthanasia is to be considered only after a reasonable and appropriate pursuit of all other viable options. It is never a decision that is made without the utmost consideration for all of the factors, as we know them. It is a decision that will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Animals who are suffering mentally, emotionally or physically may be candidates for euthanasia. Animals with a poor prognosis, protracted painful recovery, incurable debilitating illness, are non-responsive to treatment or if treatment is not reasonably available, are candidates for euthanasia. Euthanasia is only performed when it is the most humane action for the animal in question.
Animals who are deemed to pose an unacceptable danger to other animals, themselves or the public are candidates for euthanasia. The final decision with this type of Euthanasia will be made by the VIPP Board Of Directors.
All VIPP dogs and cats available for adoption are spayed or neutered, given basic vaccinations, treated for worms and fleas and microchipped. Cats are tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus. Dogs are vaccinated for Bordetella, DHPP and Rabies.VIPP provides any veterinary care the animals need up through their adoption. VIPP will do everything possible to ensure the dog or cat is healthy. If there is a known medical issue, VIPP will provide adopter with that information before final adoption.
It is VIPP's Policy that all adopter(s) fill out and sign an Adoption Application. With dog adoptions, a home visit will be performed by a VIPP volunteer. There is a 24-hour waiting period before a cat adoption is final.
New owner must pay the full adoption fee at the time of adoption.
VIPP has a special program for cats and dogs with pre-existing medical conditions. Ask your VIPP volunteer about the program if your fear of the condition is inhibiting your ability to adopt your favorite pet. VIPP will pay 25% of a 6-week dog obedience course that takes place on Vashon within six months of adoption.
The new owner will receive a signed "Adoption Certificate" and medical records. The owner also will fill out microchip paperwork will be filled out and VIPP will submit that to the microchip company. Adopters will receive a free wellness visit at Fair Isle Animal Clinic if the appointment is made within a week of the adoption.
Any incidents of neglect and abuse of animals will be promptly referred to Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC). VIPP volunteers should not personally confront reported neglect/abuse situations. VIPP volunteer will record the information for our records and recommend the person directly contact King County Animal Services and give a first hand account. A VIPP volunteer may follow up with King County to see if action was taken.
VIPP will accept any Vashon/Maury found cat or dog and hold it in its care until the owner is located. VIPP will use various methods to find owners of found animals as outlined in lost and found procedures.
If a found dog is not claimed within the first day and the animal can not stay at a temporary foster home the dog may be kenneled at the expense of the owner. If a found cat or dog is not claimed within 10 days, it will be considered to be an abandoned animal and will go through the normal intake procedures that VIPP has for cats and dogs.

Curating music curation
Sepko, Delaina (2015) Curating music curation. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
National cultural heritage institutions are charged with representative preservation of their countries' cultural materials and the ways their staff undertake preservation activities impact to whom and how these materials are representative. Music is hailed as an integral part of a nation's cultural heritage, but while aspects of its preservation are individually understood, their combined treatment in cultural institutions — music curation — and its ability to alter concepts of national identity are not. Consequently, we must ask how does music curation influence notions of national identity? By answering this question, this thesis seeks to contribute to our understanding of the ways that national cultural heritage institutions shape and promote a sense of national community. Since its beginning in 1800, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. has adopted several roles: a congressional resource; a copyright repository; a research centre; a hub for and leader in the library community; and cultural heritage institution. These combine to make the Library of Congress the de facto national library of the United States. However, these roles are not inherently congruent and in some instances undermine each other. Additionally, music has not always been easily integrated into its mission and its collections. Functioning as a national library, the Library of Congress potentially performs significant roles in the preservation and presentation of music, activities that make it an appropriate case study for investigating how music curation affects notions of national identity. Therefore, this work is structured in the following way: first, it offers an historical overview of the Library of Congress' three music related departments — the Music Division, the American Folklife Center and the Recorded Sound component of the Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound Division — to illuminate political, cultural and aesthetic forces that shaped their developments and their approaches to music curation. Second, it presents Howard Becker's art world as the analytical framework by which this thesis critically engages narrative and identity theories. Third, employing the Library of Congress as a case study, it then investigates eight music curation narratives and juxtaposes them against its image as a cultural heritage institution. Narratives, gathered during semi-structured interviews and presented as interpretive stories, provide a focused insight into the tensions between staff and institution as well as institution and projected notions of national identity. In the context of music curation, this thesis' conclusions illustrate a gap between the Library of Congress' iconic image and its actual image, one that is perpetuated by its focus on research.

Abstract: We propose a method for computing on-line the controller of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle under thruster failures. The method is general and can be applied to both redundant and under-actuated AUVs, as it does not rely on the modification of the thruster control matrix. We define an optimization problem on a specific class of functions, in order to compute the optimal control law that achieves the target without using the faulty thruster. The method is framed within model-based policy search for reinforcement learning, and we study its applicability on the model of the AUV Girona500. We performed experiments with policies of increasing complexity, testing the on-line feasibility of the approach as the optimization problem becomes more complex.

Aviation industry asks for tax break due to COVID-19
Wednesday, Mar 18, 2020 13:23
Vietnam Airlines is among Vietnamese airlines suffering the impact of COVID-19. The carrier has temporarily stopped many routes from countries of Europe and Southeast Asia. — Photo Vietnam Airlines
The Ministry of Transport has proposed Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc cut several taxes and service prices for the aviation industry, which is being heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a report sent to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, which is in charge of collecting proposals from affected sectors, the transport ministry wanted the Government to reduce take-off and landing prices, as well as flight operation service fees for departures and arrivals of domestic flights, by 50 per cent.
This policy is expected to apply from March 1 to May 31 this year.
At the same time, the ministry asked the Government to apply a minimum tax and fee of zero dong for specialised aviation services, including catering, ramp and push back services, in order to create conditions for businesses to provide discount services for airlines and businesses.
The transport ministry also proposed the Government to assign the Ministry of Finance to consider the exemption of import tax and environmental protection tax on jet fuel for three months.
"In case of budget difficulties, it's expected to cut 50 per cent of import tax, environmental protection tax on jet fuel and allow enterprises to extend tax payment time and budget contributions," the ministry said.
Airlines have stopped all flights to China and South Korea, reduced 34 per cent of flights to Taiwan, making up 99 flights per week. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong route also reduced by 92 per cent, leaving the national carrier Vietnam Airlines flying only four flights a week compared to 47 flights a week previously.
The Japan route still hosts 160 flights per week, but the airlines are assessing the situation and the possibility of further cuts.
Vietnam Airlines yesterday announced that it has temporarily stopped flights between Viet Nam and France until further notice from authorities. The routes between Viet Nam and England and Germany are still running as planned.
In Southeast Asia, Vietnam Airlines temporarily suspended flights between Viet Nam and Malaysia from March 18 to March 31 because the Malaysian Government is blocking the border during this time. The airline will consider plans to cut and reduce routes in Southeast Asia due to disease outbreaks and new regulations from the Vietnamese Government related to entry and isolation.
The Civil Aviation Administration of Viet Nam has recently issued two scenarios. The first one is that if the disease is controlled before April, the total number of passengers will reach 67 million, down 15 per cent compared to 2019.
The second one, in case the market worsens, and the pandemic is controlled in the second quarter, the total market reaches 61.2 million passengers, down 22.6 per cent year-on-year.
According to the estimations of Vietnamese airlines, the transport ministry said that the initial damage due to stopping the routes is about VND30 trillion (US$1.3 billion).
The Vietnamese airlines are among others around the world suffering heavy impact caused by COVID-19.
Preliminary estimates of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) last month indicated that the first quarter of 2020 has instead seen an overall reduction ranging from 39 per cent to 41 per cent of passenger capacity, or a reduction of 16.4 to 19.6 million passengers compared to what airlines had projected.
"This equates to a potential reduction of US$4 to $5 billion in gross operating revenues for airlines worldwide," ICAO said.
The ICAO also said the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the aviation industry is expected to be greater than that of the SARS epidemic in 2003 because the number of flights to cancel was much higher than before.
Proposals for waterway and railway transportation
The transport ministry asked the Government to report to the National Assembly for consideration and approval of the reduction of value added tax on container shipping from current 10 per cent to 5 per cent, thereby creating a competitive advantage for transport services.
The Government is also expected to direct Hai Phong City People's Committee to consider not collecting infrastructure charges for import and export cargo containers transported by waterway. Meanwhile, the Committee for State Capital Management at enterprises should reduce operating fees for trains affected by the pandemic in order to maintain operation.
For maritime services, COVID-19 caused a reduction of about 15 per cent in the number of transport ships entering and leaving Vietnamese ports in the first quarter of 2020. In particularly, ships carrying international tourists to Viet Nam decreased by 30 per cent year-on-year. — VNS

JMC GROUP MEMORY
Topical Reminiscences
Collective reminiscences about particular aspects, events, and elements of JMC.
Personal Reminiscences
(Evolving...) A collection of personal reminiscences on experiences in JMC.
Call for Reminiscence
Some brief comments on the need to remember so that JMC is not forgotten.
This Webpage is the entry point for exploring Justin Morrill College from the perspective of its participants' reminiscences.
This is intended to be distinct from 'Evidence' (objective traces of what was and what happened back then) and 'Legacy' (objective and subjective traces of JMC's outcomes and persistent effects).
In other words, this 'Group Memory' category concerns what we veterans remember about JMC and JMC experiences per se.
If anyone has additional 'reminiscence' contributions on JMC, its operations, its history, or its outcomes, please Contact the Editor.
This section provides an index for reminiscences focused on a given theme or topic rather than by authors' personal experiences per se.
JMC's History (In General)
During the first decade of the College's existence JMC Dean D. Gordon Rohman wrote two retrospective summaries of JMC's operations and history which have been preserved, transcribed, and now made available here in the JMC Webspace:
JMC: The Liberating Journey (circa 1966/'67)
Dean Rohman: JMC Today (April 1975)
Fred Little has contributed two wonderful summaries on the overall course of JMC's history....

In addition, you might want to check out documentary materials on the JMC Evidence Page as well as photographic materials available in the JMC Image Gallery.
Dormitory Life in Snyder-Phillips: 1975 Reminiscences
On the occasion of JMC's 10th anniversary (April 1975) a tabloid was published and distributed. For an overview of the tabloid as a documentary artifact, check the information on the JMC Evidence Page.
The tabloid articles cited below concern dormitory life in Snyder-Phillips during the JMC years. They are comprised of comments and responses from JMC veterans and then-current students about life in the 'Sny-Phi' environs.
Dorm Life - JMC in Sny-Phi
In addition, you might want to check out documentary materials on the JMC Evidence Page as well as photos of Snyder-Phillips available through the JMC Image Gallery (Miscellaneous).
Dormitory Life: The Snyder-Phillips Grill
The tabloid includes a personal profile of Muriel Arwin - the most ubiquitous MSU Food Service person staffing the Sny-Phi Grill. You can see a transcription of this article (and a photo of Muriel) at:
The Muriel Arwin Page
Inquiry & Expression (I & E) Movies
One of the core requirements of the JMC Curriculum was "Inquiry and Expression (I & E)" - a multi-term sequence emphasizing analytical, critical, writing, and presentation skills.
Some of the I & E work involved discussion and analysis of selected films typically shown once per week throughout a term.
The I & E 'movie night' quickly became a general College event, and it was common to see a loose-knit mass of a hundred or more JMC folks migrating across the MSU campus to Anthony Hall. We'd gambol down that dour agriculture building's main hall past the display case holding the world's largest bovine hairball and populate an auditorium for the evening's entertainment.
SHOW ME the list of movies known to have been screened for JMC Inquiry and Expression.
Not surprisingly, there was a lot of terminology and nomenclature peculiar to Justin Morrill College and its times.
Beginning in summer 2002, the Editor has begun compiling a list of the such JMC-specific terminology. If you can come up with any other JMC-specific terminology, please Contact the Editor.
SHOW ME the JMC Glossary.
JMC's unique character was both the cause and the outcome of its unique course offerings. Unfortunately, documentary evidence for these JMC-specific classes is very rare. Of the circa 56 MSU quarters during JMC's existence, only some 5 or 6 JMC Course Descriptions are known to exist (from personal and University archives).
A representative sample of what JMC courses were like is now available in the form of a listing compiled from Morrillite reminiscences and the course description publications for Fall 1973 through Spring 1974 (the only full 'academic year' for which such documentation exists).
This listing is presented on the JMC Courses Webpage.
If you have any further documentation or memories of JMC classes, please Contact the Editor.
JMC MIA's (People Still Unaccounted For...)
In the course of the ongoing conversations among JMC veterans, it is only natural that others' names would pop up. Some of these names are for JMC students, staff, and other relevant folks whose eventual outcomes and current whereabouts remain topics of speculation.
Beginning in summer 2002, the Editor has begun compiling a master list of the 'MIA' names cited by JMC veterans.
This listing is limited to those JMC veterans not otherwise 'accounted for' in (e.g.) the JMC Veterans Directory, membership in the JMC Yahoo Groups forum, etc.
If you have any other names of as-yet-unaccounted-for JMC veterans, please Contact the Editor.
SHOW ME the current list of JMC people cited but as yet still 'missing in action'.
JMC Folklore: Tales Told the Innocents
Beginning in September 2002, this Webspace includes an evolving compendium of tales, legends, and other possibly true / possibly apocryphal narratives that made the rounds during JMC's existence between 1965 and 1979.
SHOW ME the JMC Folklore collection
In Memoriam: JMC Veterans No Longer With Us...
Beginning in summer 2002, information about deceased JMC veterans (faculty, students, etc.) is being collated onto a special 'Memoriam' page.
SHOW ME the list of late JMC veterans known to have passed away.
This section provides an evolving set of pointers to reminiscences, reflections, and/or other materials relating to how one or another individual experienced Justin Morrill College.
Collective Reminiscences from JMC 10th Anniversary Tabloid (1975)
"As part of the celebration of JMC's 10th birthday, a group of JMC students interviewed alumni and faculty this past winter to find out what JMC was like in the past. The following is a compilation of some of the things that alumni and faculty described in the interviews, in their own words."
The articles cited below are presentations of the responses gathered...

A Testimonial: What Justin Morrill College Did for Me (by Randy Whitaker)
In accordance with the intention that they pursue lives of diversity, JMC alumni are scattered to the four winds. In one sense, their diffusion can be considered testimony to the Justin Morrill experience. Many of the core JMC faculty members have gone on to other pursuits, retired, or (sadly) died.
This aggravates the problems in locating sources of information on JMC. Given the relative deficiency of documentation and the number of years which have passed, one must conclude that to the extent there is (or there can be) a Justin Morrill College 'tradition' preserved, it will be a tradition that is primarily 'oral' (as in dynamically construed / constructed / disseminated).
...And that makes the situation funny, in a way. That an 'oral tradition' appears primitive is consistent with the oft-purported aboriginal nature of the Justin Morrill community during the period of its existence.
Such a tradition can be seen as content wholly dependent upon the continuance of its particular vehicle (in this case, the JMC 'community'). This further reinforces the necessity of tapping into the remainder(s) of that community should anyone wish the tradition to survive (even if only for the purposes of nostalgic reflection).
This Web site was established in response to a perceived enthusiasm among the JMC participants attending the October 1999 JMC reunion. The exuberant conversations during the reunion only made it obvious that:
We were once so close, and it has been too long.
If there really is an untapped pool of interest (and interested parties), we can hope that through means such as this WWW site we can constructively recapture some of what JMC was to us, as well as what we reflect of it.
OK.... End of sermon.... Now what are we doing about it?
