Q: How to create wizards in grante UI and design it in coral UI html in AEM As i am new to AEM development, I want to know how to create wizards in AEM and how to design those using coral UI. As i have created wizard and it contains two step view:
               source  --->   select

I have designed this two step wizard and i have to show different items on each step.This steps are nothing but nodes under my createfragment page.
1) Source: I am having two radio buttons lets suppose selecting gender like male and female. I have created node for source and under source items, created two radio buttons.
Functionality: Through the selected radio button i have to open next container which have further items like name, address. I have different items under my wizard for male and female options so that container for the particular value is shown to user depending upon selection of gender either male or female. With in source user needs to select only 1 radio button and depending on selected value the user will show items from select nodes items like maleform and femaleform.
2) Select: This node should contains two sub-nodes under items and this forms has different functionality as per user selection. I want to show first node from item (maleform) on selection of male radio button on the other hand show (femaleform) second node items on female selection.
My Node structure is like:
 + wizard
      - sling:resourceType = "granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/wizard"
    - items
      + source
       - sling:resourceType = "granite/ui/components/foundation/container"
          - items
             + male
              - sling:resourceType ="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
              - name:gender
              - value:male
             + female
              - sling:resourceType ="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"
              - name:gender
              - value:female
      + select
        - sling:resourceType = "granite/ui/components/foundation/container"
          - items
             + maleform
               - sling:resourceType ="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/text"
             + femaleform
               - sling:resourceType ="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/text"

On the basis of user selection, I want to render two separate form components which are on two different pages.
For eg:
If user selects male radio button, I want to display male form and similarly for the female one.
Please help me as I have to render two different pages using coral or granite UI in AEM.

A: If you're able to determine whether to show panels or not on the server side, you can use the granite/ui/components/foundation/renderconditions/simple widget to check a condition. Query your default AEM installation for examples, the condition is set in the expression property of the granite:rendercondition node. This sample checks the QueryString, but you can check other things such as the suffix using Expression Language (EL), for example: ${requestPathInfo.suffix == "/my/suffix"}.

Otherwise, on the clientside you can simply show and hide widgets with JavaScript. The two widgets don't necessarily need to be two different steps in a wizard. In fact, it might be better if they weren't, that way your wizard progress indicator will just show one step and you can alter the display within that step.
CSS to start the fields hidden:
.gender-male-fieldset, .gender-female-fieldset {
    display: none;
}

JavaScript that runs when the dialog opens and shows/hides fieldsets when radio buttons are clicked. This is a simple example, you can write something much more reusable:
$(document).on("dialog-ready", function() {
    var $maleRadio = $('.gender-male-radio'),
        $femaleRadio = $('.gender-female-radio'),
        $maleFieldset = $('.gender-male-fieldset'),
        $femaleFieldset = $('.gender-female-fieldset');

    $maleRadio.click(function(){
      $maleFieldset.show();
      $femaleFieldset.hide();
    })

    $femaleRadio.click(function(){
      $maleFieldset.hide();
      $femaleFieldset.show();
    })
});

The Touch UI Dialog with radio buttons and fieldsets for male and female genders. Each widget has a custom CSS class to be used with your jQuery selectors:
<gender
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    class="gender"
    sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radiogroup"
    fieldLabel="Gender">
    <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
        <option1
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/radio"

            text="Male"
            value="male"/>

Q: How to trigger an event on a  element when the same value is selected? The event type change will be triggered when a different item is selected from the combo box, but won't be triggered when the same item is selected again. What other event type or trick/loophole will get me the desired action?

const options = document.querySelector('#select');
options.addEventListener('change', function() { // won't be triggered when chosen the item chosen is the same
  console.log(this.value);
});
<select id="select">
  <option value="1" selected>1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

A: Default and expected behaviour of a select, is the change event triggering when you CHANGE the select. If you just look at the options and choose the same option that was already selected, then no event is expected. So if you need to trigger each time, then you need to use the use click
In any case add a "Please select" to allow the event to trigger on the first actual options

document.querySelector('#select').addEventListener('click', function() {
  if (this.value) console.log(this.value);
});
<select id="select">
  <option value="" selected>Please select</option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
</select>

written by Bob Taylor Jan 7, 2019
CHARLOTTE, NC. Happy New Year! With no great philosophical message to launch 2019, it seemed appropriate that perhaps our first ALS story of the year ought to bring a little humor into our lives. ALS humor? They say that ALS is no laughing matter. But the truth is that laughter is often the best medicine.
With that in mind, here's a personal selection of some of my favorite bad jokes to start the year off right. ALS humor is a good way to go. So let's get started.

The future of Palestine's children and society at risk
Genevieve Cora Fraser The Electronic Intifada 26 September 2004

Israel portrays the children of Palestine as terrorists, faceless stone throwers, but due to Israeli policies, it's highly complex matrix of control, the health, education and overall well-being of the 1.8 million children of Palestine are at severe risk, Adah Kay, Professor at City University, London stated at the UN Conference on Palestine held in New York City in mid-September. Kay co-authored the book Stolen Youth, with Catherine Cook and Adam Hanieh, former staff and volunteers with Defense for Children International/Palestine Section. Published in 2004 and subtitled, "The Politics of Israel's Detention of Palestinian Children," Stolen Youth is the first book to explore Israel's incarceration of Palestinian children based on first-hand information from international human rights groups and NGO workers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Children make up 53 per cent of the Palestinian population.
"Through law, politics and economic restrictions Israel governs Palestine with thousands of military orders controlling every aspect of their lives, down to what plants are allowed to be grown," Kay explained, noting that particularly harsh punishment is handed out to Palestinian children in violation of Article 3, the Rights of Children. The principles espoused in Article 3 first appeared in international law in 1924 as the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child, and was later adopted by the General Assembly on 20 November 1959 and recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 1989.
Article 3 states that "the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth." The article also acknowledges that "the family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community."
"The use of prison is central to the occupation," Kay said. "Since 1967, Israel has detained more than 600,000 Palestinians. Since the intifada until 30 June of this year, 2,650 children have been arrested and imprisoned." Under Israeli jurisdiction, Palestinian children have no right to a lawyer nor are they permitted to know what the charges are.
"Children of 16 and 17 are treated by the military as adults, contrary to international law," Professor Kay reported. "Palestinian children once arrested are subject to torture including severe beatings, exposure to extreme temperatures and forced into extreme positions. They are blindfolded, shackled and put into detention centers in military camps or in settlement outposts where the Israelis force them into signing confessions and attempt to recruit them as collaborators. They are almost always sent on to prison."
Conditions in Israel prisons are overcrowded, and unsanitary. They lack supplies and medical care. Children are isolated, lonely and abused and endure lasting symptoms. Abuse in prison is systematic and amounts to torture. Many attempt suicide and are subject to disease. Once incarcerated, children have no access to formal education which historically has been highly valued in Palestine, according to Kay.
Professor Kay described how Palestinian education in general is under attack because of restrictions on movement. "Children and teachers are stopped at checkpoints and mounds of dirt block roadways. They are gassed, shot at and injured going to and from school," she said. Between 2000 and February 2003, 132 students have been killed on their way to and from school.
"Schools and universities have been broken into, shelled and bulldozed by the military. Because of the constant disruptions there has been a decline in concentration. Absent-mindedness, panic attacks and requests for frequent breaks are on the increase," the professor stated. Military orders have been used to close down schools and universities. Under these conditions, it is difficult to maintain standards and the arts and physical education have suffered as drop-out rates increase.
The over-all health of Palestinian children is also deteriorating with death, injury and disability on the rise. Though previously a middle class society, poverty has significantly increased along with severe malnutrition. In Gaza, malnutrition now equals that in poor sub-Saharan countries. Vitamin A deficiency is also on the rise and the immunization program which once had enjoyed a 90% participation rate has dropped to 50% due to sieges, closure and movement restrictions.
Kay outlined how Israel has deliberately prevented the supply of vaccines from reaching the Palestinian population. "Electricity is cut to clinics so medical supplies, including vaccines, are spoiled and mobile clinics are prevented from reaching their destinations. Palestinians lack access to safe water and must live with open sewers," she added. Siege and military incursions have led not only to births at checkpoints, where dozens of women and their newborns die, there has been a serious decline in preventive health care for mothers and new born babies. Lack of access to safe water also increases health risks for children suffering from malnutrition. Water costs have risen by 80 per cent since 2000.
Despite violence which has become a fact of life under Israel's brutal occupation, Palestinians still display a remarkable resiliency and strong coping mechanisms. However, the children are fearful for themselves and their families, with Gaza and the refugee camps displaying the greatest stress. Among these children violence is increasing. Funeral games are common and aggressiveness toward one another has increased. With death, disease, and disruptions, including homelessness common, parents are experiencing increased difficulty controlling their children as well as a decreased ability to care for them. Social opportunities are rare for these children and their vision for a future is bleak. "With the future of Palestine's children and society at risk, how much longer will the world stand by?" Professor Kay asked.

The Schwartz Report
VMware Brings Windows Desktops and Apps to IBM Cloud
VMware is upgrading its Horizon virtual digital workspace portfolio to make desktop-as-service (DaaS) more viable over low-bandwidth networks and for those requiring high performance. The company said it is implementing new protocols and deployment options including several different hyperconverged appliances and support for IBM's SoftLayer Cloud.
The company announced three new additions to its end user computing set of offerings: the new Horizon Cloud Service, Horizon Apps, and Horizon 7.1 desktop and apps delivery platform. The new offerings take advantage of new protocols VMware has acquired and optimized to boost performance, making it more suitable for various virtual client and app environments, including Microsoft's Skype for Business. These improvements to Horizon are currently rolling out at the technology preview stage, according to VMware.
VMware has extended it Blast virtual client protocol, which it introduced last year, with technology designed to improve latency by offering improved adaptive bit rates, reducing packet loss and providing better forward error correction. The company claims its new Blast Extreme Adaptive Transport (BEAT) offers 6x faster transfers over intercontinental networks and 4x when the connection is cross-continental, while reducing bandwidth by 50 percent. These findings are based on the company's testing but officials say it's suited for use on public Wi-Fi networks. "It really opens up a lot of use cases, where now we can really deliver that great user experience," said Sheldon D'Paiva, a director of product marketing at VMware.
The company is also offering new integrated management controls. The new Just-in Time Management Platform (JMP), which the company said provides an integrated approach to managing virtual desktops and apps, enables real-time video delivery, contextual policy management and improved configuration and provisioning. The initial JMP release will allow customers to take advantage of VMware's Instant Clones, previously only available for virtual desktops, and supporting it for published apps as well as for cloud deployment.
"We feel bringing these best of breed technologies together allows customers to dynamically scale desktops and apps on demand both on premises and in the cloud to best meet their use case," said Courtney Burry, VMware's senior director of end user computing. "The benefit of what this provides to customers when you combine all of these things together is that they get the ability to pool their infrastructure on the back end to drive down costs. They can destroy and create sessions on demand for improved security. And users get a better, more personalized experience every time they log in."
Robert Young, research director for IDC's IT service and client virtualization software practice, said the addition of the Just in Time management tools should be welcome by customers and prospects who want common controls across DaaS, on-premises and hybrid virtual client offerings. "If you're going to take advantage of Horizon and want to use Horizon Cloud on prem or in the public cloud, or a mixture of both, how you can utilize that common set of management tools to do that," Young said. "That's important because a lot of large companies don't want to go in on DaaS. They want to do some DaaS, still some on-prem. The ability to have those management tools function across those different environments is an interesting innovation from VMware in that respect. "
JMP will be offered with the new Horizon App Volumes advanced edition, which offers the RDSH app, session-based desktops and includes the User Environment Manager, VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter. It's priced at $200 per named user and $325 per concurrent user. A standard edition that doesn't include the JMP technology is priced at $125 per named user and $200 per concurrent user.
The new Horizon Cloud Service will let organizations deploy virtual Windows desktops and apps using a VMware-managed service hosted on the IBM SoftLayer public cloud. VMware teamed up with IBM last summer to announce at its annual VMworld conference that it would offer services managed on Big Blue's SoftLayer cloud. Horizon Cloud supports 3G graphics with devices that have Nvidia GRID virtual GPUs. In addition to using the public IBM SoftLayer cloud, the new Horizon Cloud service allows organizations to provision their own hyperconverged appliances. The company is supporting systems from its parent company, Dell EMC, as well as Quanta and Hitachi Data Systems

But we opted to stay 3 nights in Glenwood and 3 nights in Ouray, then take day trips to smaller towns. We found a nice camping spot (never mind our neighbors) in New Castle, right by the river.
We came over on Saturday (the 30th). Sunday, I thought we might hike Hanging Lake then go to Aspen. It turns out that now Hanging Lake is a favorite hiking destination. Discovering that we would have to wait 30-45 minutes just to get a parking spot ... we made our way over to Aspen instead!
It's just as I remember it.
The wild flowers were spectacular.
We spent most of our time at the city park.
The kids found an "island" to which they could wade and climb on the rocks.

For the past two decades I have made it a priority to insure the tangible benefits of what I offer students and clients. I am a scientist by training and am inclined toward measurable consequences. In fact I was drawn to teach MBSR because of Jon Kabat-Zinn's research-oriented early work (he is the creator of MBSR, my principle teacher, and was trained as a scientist also).
Below are summaries and links to a number of studies I have coauthored with a number of colleagues about my work here. The results parallel Jon's early work and decades of studies published about the consequences of mindfulness training, especially MBSR. For a full bibliography of my research and publications see my listing: US National Library of Medicine.
While these are studies about my mindfulness-based trainings, there is ample research documenting the benefits of the other modes of learning offered here. Note that the content of MBSR overlaps substantially with my mindful yoga courses, workshops, and Resilience & Life Coaching. Students and clients in these trainings often comment about the benefits cataloged in the research papers below.
Clinical results of my Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) trainings here are summarized and discussed in the Journal of Participatory Medicine.
Clinical results of my trainings with police officers and firefighters have been catalogued in many journal articles and reports. If you have a deep interest in this work here is a link to one of my recent posts that gives you direct links to the studies and reports summarized below: Work with First Responders. The results are parallel to those above and to studies world-wide about the positive consequences of mindfulness practice.

Get your campsite ready for Halloween! It's always fun to walk around a campground and see how creative people can get with their holiday decorations. We love both the fun and cute Halloween set ups and the cool, spooky ones too. One day we hope to try extreme pumpkin carvings! You may have already seen this camper pumpkin duo carving below in magazines, but we thought it was still a cool pic to post!
Check out these two Halloween pumpkin ideas below. We always find it hard to resist buying those cute mini pumpkins at the grocery store. When we do buy them, they usually sit displayed on a table and although they look cute, a different take for decorating is always welcome.
1) Campsite Border of Little Lighted Pumpkins!
Simply use small shepherd hooks, flexible craft wire and battery operated tea lights. Grab those tiny pumpkins at the grocery store and carve your fave pumpkin faces!
Use battery powered tea lights or any light source inside the pumpkins!
Also check out this Fire pit of Pumpkins! Just stack the pumpkins to look like a roaring campfire. This is a really neat effect, especially if you have some oddly shaped pumpkins that just don't sit up straight. The variety of sizes also makes for a cool towering effect for a roaring campfire!
After pumpkins, go for the lights! Halloween String Lights!
We are always looking for new lights to hang outside on our awning or flagpole. Some of the easiest lights to use are these string lights below. A neat idea may be to alternate decorative lights like these spider, ghost, witch and pumpkin lights with single colored orange or purple lights for an extra cool glow. It's easier and possibly cheaper to find plain/single color light strings in any discount store and then use them as background lighting. Your themed lights, like the spider or ghost lights, could be the focus of your light display.
Want a Halloween window display? Try Halloween Window Lights!
These larger lights look cool hanging from your RV's inside window/ on the dash. Putting these lights on a timer can make this an easy and festive display. You'll be seen from a distance. We would like to get the "BOO" light and then hang a large ghost with a string of little white ghosts around / behind it!
Grab some Halloween packages of spider webbing at the store and place it around the spider web light. Your window will look spooky, cool! Even adding little plastic spiders in the webbing will keep it eye appealing in the daytime.
Hanging the pumpkin light in your front window and above your carved pumpkins can also be very festive! Ideas are really endless.

Nicola Sturgeon is visiting the new Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary.
The First Minister toured the site at Cargenbridge on the outskirts of the town and met with local apprentices and graduates involved with the build.
The £212 million hospital, due to open in December this year, will provide 344 single-bed en-suite rooms alongside a theatres complex, critical care unit and outpatients department.
Ms Sturgeon said construction of the new hospital had resulted in 215 new jobs in the south of Scotland - 55 more than planned.

Q: Degree $1$ map from torus to sphere I'm trying to find a smooth degree 1 map from the torus $T^2 = S^1 \times S^1$ to the $2$-sphere $S^2$.
My first thought was to use the two coordinates $(\theta_1,\theta_2)$ to map onto the usual spherical polar coordinates on the sphere - however I can't quite get that to work because it seems that one of these coordinates would cover the sphere twice and so give a degree $2$ map?
Alternatively I thought about using the winding number. So in general if we embed circles into $\mathbb{R}^3$ by the maps $f_1,f_2: S^1 \to \mathbb{R}^3$ we can then define a map $F:T^2 \to S^2$ by:
$$F(\theta_1,\theta_2) = \frac{f_1(\theta_1) - f_2(\theta_2)}{\| f_1(\theta_1) - f_2(\theta_2) \|}$$
However I'm now struggling to make suitable choices for $f_1$ and $f_2$, my guess is that I'd want to make the circles cross over each other once but I'm struggling to visualise this and write down a map so I would appreciate any help.

A: Here's a way to construct a degree one map.
Consider the standard CW complex for the torus consisting of a $0$-cell, two $1$-cells, and one $2$-cell. If we forget about the $2$-cell, what remains is $S^1\vee S^1$. That is $T^2 = (S^1\vee S^1)\cup_{\varphi} e^2$ where $e^2$ is the $2$-cell and $\varphi$ is the attaching map $\varphi : \partial e^2 \to S^1\vee S^1$.
Now consider the space $T^2/(S^1\vee S^1)$ where all the points of $S^1\vee S^1$ are identified with one another. This quotient space has the CW structure $e^0\cup_{\tilde{\varphi}} e^2$ where $e^0$ is a $0$-cell (i.e. a point) and $\varphi : \partial e^2 \to e^0$. We see that the quotient is $S^2$ and so we can view the quotient map as a map $f : T^2 \to S^2$.
As $f|_{T^2\setminus(S^1\vee S^1)} : T^2\setminus(S^1\vee S^1) \to S^2$ is a homeomorphism (it identifies the $2$-cell of $T^2$ with the $2$-cell of $S^2$), we see that $f$ is a degree one map $T^2 \to S^2$.

The above argument can be used to show that any connected closed smooth $n$-manifold $M$ admits a degree one map to $S^n$. Using Morse theory, one can show  that $M$ admits a CW complex structure with only one $n$-cell, i.e. $M = M^{(n-1)}\cup_{\varphi}e^n$ where $M^{(n-1)}$ is the $(n-1)$-skeleton of $M$. Then $M \to M/M^{(n-1)} \cong S^n$ is a degree one map.
We needed to assume $M$ was smooth above in order to use Morse theory. However, for $n \neq 4$, every closed connected $n$-manifold has such a CW complex structure with one $n$-cell, even if it isn't smoothable, so all such manifolds admit a degree one map to $S^n$. If $n = 4$, it is not known whether such a CW complex structure exists (in fact, it is not even known if every closed four-manifold has a CW complex structure). See this MathOverflow question for more details.

A: Let $(U, \varphi)$ be a chart on $T^2$, i.e. $U$ is an open subset of $T^2$ and $\varphi : U \to \mathbb{R}^2$ is a homeomorphism. Let $V$ be the open subset of $U$ such that $\varphi|_V : V \to B(0, 1)$ is a homeomorphism, i.e. $V = \varphi^{-1}(B(0, 1))$. Then $\varphi(\overline{V}) = \overline{\varphi(V)} = \overline{B(0, 1)}$ and $\varphi(\partial V) = \partial\varphi(V) = \partial B(0, 1) = S^1$.
Note that the quotient $\overline{B(0, 1)}/S^1$ is homeomorphic to $S^2$; let $\psi : \overline{B(0, 1)}/S^1 \to S^2$ be a homeomorphism. The composite $\psi\circ\varphi|_{\overline{V}} : \overline{V} \to S^2$ maps $\partial V$ to a single point, call it $p$, and $(\psi\circ\varphi|_{\overline{V}})|_V = \psi\circ\varphi|_V$ is a homeomorphism from $V$ to $S^2\setminus\{p\}$.
Now define $f : T^2 \to S^2$ by
$$f(x) = \begin{cases}
\psi(\varphi(x)) & x \in \overline{V}\\
p & x \not\in \overline{V}.
\end{cases}$$
Then $f$ is a continuous map. Furthermore, it has degree one .
More generally, we can use the same technique to construct a degree one map from any closed, connected, orientable $n$-manifold to $S^n$.

A: Your idea about using linking numbers is certainly on the right track. Consider the Hopf link. If we think of the circles as being embedded in two perpendicular planes then one can understand the map
\begin{align}
S^1 \times S^1 &\to S^2 \\
(x,y) &\mapsto \frac{x-y}{\|x - y\|}
\end{align}
by drawing the images of a circle for each $x$ fixed. If you think about this for a little while you realize that this can be thought of as placing the sphere in the interior of the torus and then flattening the torus onto the sphere. At this point one can see that the map generically has 3 or 1 preimages and wherever it has 1 preimage, it is orientation preserving so the map has degree 1.

A: Take lat/lon coordinates on the sphere: latitude $\phi$ from 0 to $\pi$, longitude $\theta$ from $o0$ to $2\pi$.
Take polar coordinates $\alpha, \beta$ on the torus, both running from $0$ to $2\pi$.
Let
$$
a = \frac{\alpha - \pi}{\pi} \\
b = \frac{\beta - \pi}{\pi}
$$
be coordinates with the range $-1$ to $1$ on the torus.
Now consider
$$
f(a, b) = \begin{cases}
\sqrt{1 + \frac{\min(|a|, |b|)^2}{\max(|a|, |b|)^2}} & \text{either $a$ or $b$ nonzero}\\
0 & \text{a = b = 0}
\end{cases}.
$$
This is the length of a ray through $(a, b)$ hitting the edge of the square $S = \{(x, y) \mid -1 \le x,y \le 1 \}$.
Define
$$
g(a, b) = \frac{1}{f(a, b)} (a, b)
$$
This maps the square $S$ to the unit disk $D$ (essentially by "radial stretching").
Finally, define
$$
h: D \to S^2 : (u, v) \mapsto (\pi\sqrt{u^2+v^2}, atan2(u, v) )
$$
where points of $S^2$ are represented in $(\phi, \theta)$ coordinates.
Now the map $h \circ g$ takes $(a, b)$ coordinates on the torus to $(\phi, \theta)$ coords on the sphere, and you've got your map.
Shorthand: take the square $S$, which is the domain for $(a, b)$ coordinates on the torus, and send its whole boundary to the south pole, and its center to the north pole.

A: Toroidal coordinates are generally reconstructed from Cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical coordinates. The problem is the skewness of the toroidal basis vectors. Without redefining the isomorphism, you can just select regions where the sphere to torus mapping is defined. Why do you need to do this? Toroidal eigenfunctions and harmonics exist. Maybe you want to improve these. A nice idea is to look at spherical modes and then map them to toroidal modes. This could be useful in toroidal structures like transformers with fluid, tokamaks, and pipes with toroidal flow. I can show you my calculations, but you might find research into the Gamma function and toroidal coordinates interesting. The current problem is the modulation of the cosine and hyperbolic cosecant. It seems mathworld cannot get the sign of the cosine correct. You have stumbled onto an unknown problem. Follow this link for the quick and dirty mapping. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal_coordinates Good luck.

Standing robed woman holding tablet (Study for Jurisprudence)
This highly stylised yet superbly fluent pencil drawing is one of numerous figure studies related to Klimt's most controversial public commission: the so-called 'faculty paintings' for the University of Vienna. In 1894 Klimt was invited by the Austrian Ministry of Education to assist with the ceiling decorations for the university's new assembly hall. The commission stipulated a sequence of five allegorical paintings: a central canvas depicting the triumph of light over darkness, with four encompassing compositions representing the faculties of theology, philosophy, medicine and jurisprudence. Of these Klimt was to execute the last three.
During his years working on the monumental canvases Klimt became deeply involved with the Vienna Secession, which brought him into contact with the European avant-garde. The first full-scale painting, Philosophy, was completed and exhibited in 1900, with Medicine appearing the following year. The finished canvases – an idiosyncratic blend of Pre-Raphaelitism, Art Nouveau and the more extreme forms of Dutch and Belgian Symbolism – marked a drastic departure from the studies Klimt had originally submitted. With their determinedly flat patterning and ornamentation, the canvases were not only stylistically surprising: they eschewed the idealising conventions of academic practice and their message appeared irrational, pessimistic, even antithetical to the Enlightenment program envisioned by the patrons.
Philosophy and Medicine were unremittingly criticised. But the canvas that provoked the strongest indignation was Klimt's last faculty painting, Jurisprudence 1903–07. When all three paintings were displayed at the 18th Secession exhibition in 1903, the university finally distanced itself from the project and Klimt renounced the commission. Klimt acquired the paintings for himself, continuing to make changes to them until 1907. They were destroyed by fire in the Second World War.
The Gallery's study of an ethereal robed figure is preparatory to the personification of Law in the painting Jurisprudence. Shown holding a book with the word Lex, the figure of Law – together with that of Truth – flanks the central figure of Justice who presides over the composition.

Our Favorite Records since 2012
We opened our doors in March of 2012 and since then we've stocked tons of great records. This year is no different and arguably one of the best years for new music (and vinyl) in really long time.
We've started putting together our year-end list of favorite records but first we decided to take a look back at what records topped our best-of lists since opening in 2012…so here's a trip down memory lane. Most of these titles are in stock so if you see something that peaks your interest then swing by the shop.
These lists consist of new releases…we'll write one up regarding reissues later this month.
1. Spiritualized Sweet heart, sweet light (it was our LP of the Month for May)
2. Japandroids Celebration Rock (it was our LP of the Month for June)
3. Gentleman Jesse Leaving Atlanta (it was our LP of the Month for April)
4. Kendrick Lamar Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City
5. Swans The Seer
-Phosphorescent Muchacho (Dead Oceans)
-Dirty Beaches Drifters/Love is the Devil (this was David's favorite; read what we said about it here)
-Joanna Gruesome Weird Sisters (Jimmy wouldn't shut up about this record)
-Bonnie Prince Billy s/t (Self Released; read what we said about it here)

-Medicine To the Happy Few (Captured Tracks)
-Polvo Siberia (Merge)

–The War on Drugs Lost in the Dream (Secretly Canadian)
–David Kilgour & The Heavy 8's End Times Undone (Merge)
–Sturgill Simpson Metamodern Sounds in Country Music (Thirty Tigers)
-Water Liars s/t (Big Legal Mess)
Read our review and anticipation here.
– Kamasi Washington, The Epic (Brainfeeder)
If we were picking a #1 record of the year this would be it!
"To be sure, it's a jazz album, as much about tradition as expanding it, informed by Coltranes (John and Alice), Miles Davis fusions, bebop and more; yet it's clearly shaped by crate-digger funk and film scores, hip-hop collage and gospel." -RollingStone
– Beach Slang, The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us (Polyvinyl)
You can read a "Bill's Picks" review of the Beach Slang release on our blog here.
– Jake Xerxes Fussell s/t (Paradise of Bachelors)
Jake's debut album was not only one of our bestselling records of the year but also probably the most played record in the shop, and for good reason. Read our review right here.
"One helluva bluesman: my favorite of his generation, and in my opinion, the best young traditional blues artist performing today." –George Mitchell
– Jamie XX, In Colour (Young Turks)
The best dance record of the year. Jamie XX came through our shop last summer and was just the nicest dude, and his debut full length (on the heels of several banging 12″ singles) is as good as we hoped it would be. In Colour is a definite contender for record of the year.
– Leon Bridges, Coming Home (Columbia)
Coming Home was selected in our Record of the Month Club and was also on our bestsellers list. Read our review here.
– Built to Spill, Untethered Moon (Warner Bros)
Built to Spill continues it's indie-rock dominance with their latest. Untethered Moon was also a selection in our Record of the Month Club. Read more here.
– Pops Staples, Don't Lose This (Anti)
Produced by daughter Mavis Staples and Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Don't Lose This, is an impressive addition to the Staples Singers cannon. Unfortunately the vinyl has been out of stock since this record was first released earlier in 2015. Hey Anti!!! Press more of this record. It's great!! This release was in our Record of the Month Club.
– Courtney Barnett, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit (Mom & Pop/Marathon Artists)
"An ease surrounds her music, a looseness: Even at their most clever, her songs glide from line to line and thought to thought, a stray observation about cracks in the walls leading to something about the wrinkles in Barnett's own palm, propelled by rock'n'roll that seems to find itself plenty serviceable but nothing to stop and fuss over. "I just know what I know," she recently told The New York Times; "I think I'm shit some days, and some days I think I'm pretty good," she told Grantland. To paraphrase the composer and philosopher John Cage, Barnett has nothing to prove and she's proving it." -Pitchfork
2016…so far (list compiled in early August)
The year is halfway over…already…and there's been some really great records from some legacy artists as well as some fresh faces putting out some excellent records. It's been a tough year with the loss of musical geniuses David Bowie and Prince, but luckily their records remain and their music will always have a place in our racks. It's no surprise that Bowie's final album, Blackstar, is at the top of our list and it'll be hard to knock it off. This year also sees the return of Radiohead with their excellent new albumA Moon Shaped Pool. Other strong records from Sturgill Simpson and Charles Bradley are worth noting…so here are our top 20 records of 2016…so far!
1.) David Bowie Blackstar
Bowie's final record is a masterpiece from the cover artwork and record packaging to the experimental jazz backing band. Bowie set up the release of Blackstar in an unprecedented work of performance art as he passed away just days after the release leaving the songs bathed in mystery and new meaning. Bowie is one of the most important artists of all time and Blackstar is an excellent parting gift and ending to an amazing and groundbreaking career. If you haven't already poured over this record, now is the time. This year also sees the vinyl reissues of Bowie's early, crucial catalog.
2.) Radiohead A Moon Shaped Pool
Radiohead's first album in four years is one of their greatest achievements. King of Limbs left fans wanting more as the record clocked in at just over 30 minutes. A Moon Shaped Pool is lengthier and much more minimal at the same time–in a good way. This isn't necessarily a rock record but more a collection of songs where Jonny Greenwood flexes his orchestral muscle while Thom Yorke performs some of his best lyrics to date. The record gives fans some excellent debatable talking points for discussions on where this record ranks in the Radiohead catalog…we think it should sit near the top with Kid Aand OK Computer.
3.) Charles Bradley Changes
Charles Bradley's third album is his first to full on politicize and the timing is perfect. Bradley sings about the need for change and the even more stressing need for love to conquer all. His cover of Black Sabbath's "Changes" may be the song of the year. This is one of the best modern soul records to drop in recent years.
4.) Sturgill Simpson A Sailor's Guide to Earth
Many folks thought Sturgill was just going to drop Metamodern Part 2, but he didn't. He changed it all up and it's just the move he needed to make. This isn't a country record really. It's more soulful than anything he's ever done and there's even a Nirvana cover. Sturgill fans were surprised by the production on this one but we think he's heading in the right direction and this just may be his best record to date.
5.) Kanye West The Life of Pablo
This is the only hip-hop record on our list and it's probably the most traditional rap record Yeezy has made in years. The gospel-rap opener "Ultralight Beam" is one of Kanye's best songs ever. Kanye is also pushing the boundary of what it means to release a record in 2016, or if it's possible for a record to ever be creatively finished. This record didn't see a physical release–except for that one thing you probably saw in the store ?
6.) Kevin Morby Singing Saw
"The match of songs and sounds on Singing Saw delivers on all the promise of his earlier records, while firmly establishing Morby as one of the best singer/songwriters going." –allmusic
7.) Whitney Light Upon the Lake
Out on June 3rd, the Chicago group's debut album is soulful and different from anything else we've heard this year in the world of indie rock. Formed from the core of guitarist Max Kakacek (ex-Smith Westerns) and singing drummer Julien Ehrlich (ex-Unknown Mortal Orchestra),the band itself is something bigger, something visionary.
8.) William Tyler Modern Country
Primarily written while Tyler was on sabbatical in Oxford, Mississippi, where he stayed at the cabin of a family friend within a stone's throw of William Faulkner's house, Modern Country is a collection of songs about the vanishing America that still exists on back roads, in small towns, on AM radio stations. In an election year when so many certainties and assurances have vanished, Tyler doesn't offer optimism or pessimism but rather a calm and measured commentary in our age of anxiety.
Release Date: June 3 (We're hosting a record release party and free in-store show with William Tyler on Friday, June 3 at 5 p.m. Read more here.)
9.) Tim Hecker Love Streams
"Love Streams washes over you–or sometimes floats by off in the horizon–due to its subtlety and complex, deliberate construction." –The A.V. Club
10.) Parquet Courts Human Performance
"Parquet Courts may have just released their most realized, independent, and articulate album yet." –Consequence of Sound
"These are tight, economical pop songs actually worthy of Pavement comparisons in terms of not just sound, but melody." –Slant
11.) Seratones Get Gone
"This is still a young band; just last year, Seratones entered NPR Music's first Tiny Desk Contest for unsigned, undiscovered talent. (The group didn't win, but scored an invitationto the Tiny Desk earlier this year.) But for all of Seratones' youth, Get Gone steers clear of rookie mistakes, meandering or filler. It's varied in its pace while always on point in itspacing, and led by a singer with the strutting star power of the punk she is at heart." –NPR
"Today they release a fine debut album, Get Gone, and it riffs thrillingly on the gutsy soul and distorted genius of the US' vast and wonderful musical history. Referencing everything from old favourites like Curtis Mayfield, Prince and Donny Hathaway to Facebook, Bossa Nova and the Bible, singer AJ Haynes leads the pack. She has a bit of a Minnie Riperton vibe about her vocally (not forgetting that afro either), and as a performer for over a decade now, her voice is seriously impressive. She's able to flit from a soothing coo into something altogether more raucous in an instant." –NME
"Their first LP, Get Gone,brandishes playful guitar hooks that swing in at just the right moments, but Haynes is the band's best asset, lighting these otherwise-conventional songs on fire." –Pitchfork
12.) Car Seat Headrest Teens of Denial
This one seems to be tied up in a legal battle but we've got a promo copy from before it was recalled due to a licensing fiasco, and it's damn good. We can't wait for it to drop later this year. Read more on this story here.
13.) Richmond Fontaine You Can't Go Back If There's Nothing To Go Back To
This is the final record from Richmond Fontaine. Read "Bill's Picks" review of it right here.
14.) Twin Peaks Down in Heaven
"The result is a casual, charmingly low-key set of kitchen-table blues, slow-dance serenades, and unplugged power pop." –Pitchfork
15.) PJ Harvey The Hope Six Demolition Project
"The Hope Six Demolition Project is yet another remarkable PJ Harvey effort." –Magnet
"On this album, Harvey is again sweeping up sonic history and weaving it into a pattern of her own making, but it's more relaxed and more raucous, its reference points less, appropriately, English. It's a deeply melodic record." –Record Collector
"Not all of Hope Six is mired in dissonance. Harvey frequently returns to the well of pop music, but the irony of wrapping a grim lyrical message in upbeat music is that those uncomfortable truths become that much harder to overlook." –American Songwriter
"The Hope Six Demolition Project is her most exhilarating rock album in years, yoking the siren-like catchiness of her last great America-influenced album, Stories From the City… to the swamp-tarnished filth of her classic first three records, Dry, Rid of Me, andTo Bring You My Love. It's leering, brash, and dissonant, but also not without its warmth." –Pitchfork
16.) Weezer White Album
A return to the classic Weezer of the Blue Album and Pinkerton era with some polished, radio-friendly nuggets. This record is like going to Ya-Ya's and getting a 3-pound frozen yogurt with chocolate all over it, then walking around the Square eating it.
17.) Margo Price Midwest Farmer's Daughter
"While Price and her crack band revive an array of hard-edged country sounds from the '60s and '70s, leaning on robust guitar twang, her postures and performances occasionally echo a superstar of that era: Loretta Lynn." -NPR
18.) Brian Eno The Ship
"His latest, The Ship, is a variation on the typical Eno theme, the next warm period in his glacial unthawing, and it's one of his more interesting works. Where his last release, 2012's Lux, seemed like a brighter distant cousin of Music for Airports, The Ship finds Eno combining ambience with his own voice for the first time. He's billed it as a sort of "musical novel" – a loose story collage inspired by the Titanic sinking, World War I and random throwaway lines from emails and his own writing – but it's not so much what he or his computer or his comedian friend and collaborator Peter Serafinowicz say on the record that matters as much as how it feels." –RollingStone
19.) Sunflower Bean Human Ceremony
"Human Ceremony is an impressive debut from a band who seem positioned to make many more excellent albums if they can continue to do such a good job of mining the past for gold and revamping it in their own fashion like they do so well here." –AllMusic
20.) Bonnie Prince Billy & Bitchin' Bajas Epic Jammers
"In his long, unpredictable career, Will Oldham has never been scared of diving headfirst into new musical situations, whether it's remaking old Palace tunes with Nashville session pros, or recording Bruce Springsteen covers with Tortoise. That sense of adventure has served him well (for the most part) and it hasn't dimmed with age, as proven by Epic Jammers and Fortunate Little Ditties, his new collaboration with the Chicago minimalist/neo-New Age collective Bitchin Bajas. The soundscapes the Bajas create behind Oldham's guitar and vocals are immersive and often positively gorgeous, without becoming mere sonic wallpaper. For lyrics, Oldham has turned to the koans found in Chinese fortune cookies — an approach that might seem like cutesy shtick in anyone else's hands. But his righteous delivery and idiosyncratic phrasing fits the spiritual, questing vibe of the music. Tune in, bliss out." –Other Music

Introduce Yourself ist das zweite Studioalbum von Faith No More. Es erschien im April 1987. Da das Debütalbum We Care a Lot nur eingeschränkt erhältlich war, wurde Introduce Yourself zum Teil als eigentliches Debüt von Faith No More gesehen. Es ist auch das erste Album, das auf einem Major-Label erschien.

Entstehung und Stil
Auf Introduce Yourself ist Original-Sänger Chuck Mosley zu hören, der auch die Texte schrieb. Sein Gesang wurde als rauer beschrieben als jener Mike Pattons. Nach der Veröffentlichung dieses Albums wurde Mosley 1988 entlassen. Introduce Yourself enthielt auch eine etwas erneuerte Version des Titelstücks des Vorgängeralbums, We Care a Lot. Das zugehörige Musikvideo wurde auch auf MTV gezeigt. Das Album erschien zunächst nur auf Vinyl und Musikkassette. 1996 wurde es erstmals wiederveröffentlicht.

Rezeption
Greg Prato von Allmusic sah in Introduce Yourself einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung in Bezug auf den Sound der späteren Alben. Insbesondere beschrieb er The Crab Song als hervorstechend, besonders wegen Jim Martins Gitarre, und als unterschätzt. Auch die Melodiosität und die Bassfigur bei Anne's Song hätten jenen zu einem "Hit" machen können. Er vergab vier von fünf Sternen.

Titelliste
 Faster Disco – 4:17
 Anne's Song – 4:47
 Introduce Yourself – 1:30
 Chinese Arithmetic – 4:36
 Death March – 2:59
 We Care A Lot – 4:01
 R N' R – 3:11
 The Crab Song – 5:52
 Blood – 3:39
 Spirit – 2:50

Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi
Andmoresound
LP/CD
It's so appropriate that my debut in the gullbuy is Glasgow's Camera Obscura debut 'Biggest Bluest Hi-fi', as they were my introduction to Carl (creator of gullbuy). Three summers ago, I was in Newbury Comics one Saturday morning returning a single by the other Camera Obscura (a hardcore band from CA) when he came up to me enthusiastically saying 'Marianna, Marianna' I said ''m not Marianna, but do I know you?' and the rest is history.
'Biggest Bluest Hi-fi' shows growth and refinement of their arranged pop sound.
This is effortless pop with wispy vocals and balanced arrangements. If you like gently played tunes that stay in your head long after the disc is over, this is for you. They have subtle lyrical twists that remind you of nascent friendships and relationships, of people to stay away from, and that bring out your inner loner.
'Happy New Year', Track 1 has a shimmering guitar line with brush drums and some great lines about a budding friendship; 'I would never tell you what to do, have ambition to simply see things through' and independence 'I know where I stand. I don't need you to hold my hand.' Tracyanne's vocals are a mask of self assurance to hide her uncertainty and John Henderson chimes in nicely on the chorus every time.
'Eighties Fan,' has some of the traits of Belle and Sebastian as it was produced by Stuart Murdoch, who helped arranged the strings on this disc. I think critics will inevitably compare them to B & S as a quieter version of them. It's an almost perfect pop song except for the second line in this couplet 'You say your life will be the death of you, Tell me, do you wash your hair in honeydew' but I can live with that. The arrangements are probably the most up front on this track, but they never get in the way of the track's summery sound and feel.
'House Boat' starts out with John singing and his voice complements hers really well on this track as he tries to convince her to give him a try and she can't get the other one out of her mind. The guitars gently weave around them and there's a nice ping coming from a triangle or some other percussive instrument.
Tracy sings 'Pen and Notebook,' in a quiet, melancholy way. The accompaniment is mostly in the background, until a trumpet part that really fits in the space of the song comes in. It's about one of those creative kids you probably knew, who kept it hidden from nearly everyone. It has a poignant rhyme about of all things, drinking, 'Your favourite colour is that of red wine, which brings me around to your favourite pastime.'
'Swimming Pool' recycles the riff from that Janis Ian's 70s chestnut '17inch. John and Tracyanne trade vocals again, to great effect. This song moves along nicely and reminds you to keep a sense of wonder, trust and romance with this refrain 'Don't get wise to everyone and everything. Leave a little room for some naivete.'
'Anti Western' is probably my favorite track. It has a slightly country feel. Tracyanne and John trade vocals at their best here as she spurns the skirt chaser with this parting shot, 'You listen to rubbish I really despise and tell me that sand is just grit in your eyes.' Of course, taste in music is important when choosing someone. This is probably the second most arranged track on the disc and maybe because of the country feel, not very B & S esque.
'I don't do crowds' reprises the theme from the first track about budding relationships and how easily they can be sabotaged ''d like to have company during thunderstorms, 'd like you to fall for me but it would soon turn lousy and wrong.' The arrangement here is also pretty up front. It's the third most arranged track and they recycled an organ riff from another 70s chestnut, Rita Coolidge's cover of 'Your love is lifting me higher'
'The Sun on his back' has a stark intro with just drums and guitar and Tracyanne's strongest singing. It has a chiming guitar part that makes your head go from side to side like those poodles on the dashboard of your dad's car that builds nicely on the refrain to her object of admiration 'and I will wear a badge to show my delight.'
'Double Feature' is the other quiet number on this disc. It starts out somber as the tom toms crash on the cymbals, almost overpowering her voice. The first half feels bleak until the break in the middle that lightens things up with a summery feel, (which is pervasive throughout most of this disc), but the rest of the song lyrics are decidedly not. I always like that combination of sweet vocals over bittersweet words. It's an apt metaphor for the endurance test that relationships, especially shaky ones, are. She sounds really down here, 'And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe.'
'Arrangements of Shape and Space' is a sunny instrumental that ends the disc. It's a nice bright spot after the bleakness of the last track. I rarely get through most instrumentals because I miss having words to sing along to, but this one circles pleasantly and overcomes the melancholy feeling of the previous track. It's a fine closer to what is a favorite pop album of mine.

Q: Logging syntax for Play Framework 2 in Scala This is a really silly question, but how can you do convenient formatting of log strings in Play Framework 2 (and in Scala?).
I've googled but its very difficult to find an example, essentially most links are talking about configuring Logback in the first place which I've done fine.
I'm basically trying to find the best stylistic way to do something like:
if(Logger.isDebugEnabled)
    Logger.debug("Modified: Id = '" + real_session_id + "', Modified = " + modified.toString)

Coming from a C# background (and log4net) I'd assume you could do something like:
if(Logger.isDebugEnabled)
    Logger.debug("Modified: Id = '{0}', Modified = {1}", real_session_id, modified.toString)

But I can't see how this would work with the trait the way it is defined. I've also seen vague references to how you might be able to avoid checking Logger.isDebugEnabled by using a lazy evaluative syntax like:
Logger.debug("Modified: Id = ${real_session_id}, Modified = ${modified.toString}")

That uses Scala macros - but again, that doesn't work and I can find very little information about it.
Am I missing something really blatant here?

A: *

*The framework used for logging is logback. When you type : Logger.debug, the isDebugEnabled is already implicitly checked.

*For the syntax of logging, use the Scala string interpolation.
Logger.debug(s"Modified: Id = '$real_session_id', Modified = $modified.toString")

A: Why not just use the standard String interpolation capabilities of the language/stdlib? http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/string-interpolation.html
I apologise if I've missed something crucial about your question.
As to avoiding the if (Logger.isDebugEnabled) check, if the logging framework is not providing some sort of lazy evaluation scheme for arguments passed into it, I would just first consider defining my own wrappers:
object MyLazyLogger {
  def debug(msg: => Any) =
    if (Logger.isDebugEnabled) Logger.debug(msg)
}

Also, I don't think the way in which you interpolate stuff into the string has anything to do with not evaluating the arguments to debug() if logging is disabled—if debug() declares that it eager-evaluates any arguments passed into it, there's no way that I can see you can change to lazy evaluation at the call site by just using a "special form" of string interpolation. (I'd be happy if anyone proved me wrong here and taught me something new :))
Disclosure: I'm not familiar with Play (yet), so I'm just taking a shot at a general approach here.

Woodlawn scores 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
October 19, 2015 October 23, 2015 / thimblerigsark
Living in China, I haven't had the opportunity to see Woodlawn yet, but I can't help but be impressed by this image. After all, no other Christian-made film has ever scored 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and most don't even get to 50%. Given, it could change as this image was taken after only five reviews, but it's worth noting that only one of the reviews was written by an openly Christian reviewer, and furthermore, that the L.A. Times was more forgiving than Christianity Today.
So much for the secular critic bias idea.
Regarding the rating, I can't say I'm surprised, given that the Irwin's Mom's Night Out was one of the three Christian-made movies that I liked in 2014. So if anyone could do it, it would be these guys.
Or maybe Riot Studio.
Or Richard Ramsey.
It also warrants some thought and discussion, considering the blatant Christian message of the film. What is it about this movie that is making the reviewers be more forgiving about the faith aspect of this story? I can't help but think that the film is finding success as a good balance of an actual true story, faith, racial issues, and football.
So, things like story and theme have turned out to be as important as the message.
But the big question is: will Woodlawn be the Christian Blockbuster that the Erwins have been shooting for? I don't think so, at least not based on the box office of the opening weekend. But it does seem like it could be a step in that direction, and it certainly will be an encouragement to other filmmakers of faith.
Hear that, filmmakers? A Christian-made film can actually achieve a high Rotten Tomatoes score, so you don't need to be content with the low critic rating and the high audience rating. You can actually shoot for more.
Now if the Erwins could only figure out how to get their films to play in China…
Edit: After about 24 hours, and we're up to 7/7 fresh ratings, 6/7 being secular outlets. The really interesting thing is that none of the reviews are enthusiastically positive, and yet the ratings are still "fresh". I'm learning a lot about the Rotten Tomatoes system through this experience.
Edit II: A few days from the writing of this article, and Woodlawn has picked up one more fresh tomato, and the first rotten tomato. Interesting thing about the rotten review is that the reviewer starts his observations with the following remark:
"The most divisive and poisonous of the recent crop of "faith-based" movies are all based on the premise that Christians are under constant attack from bigoted non-believers. Christian folks just want to keep to themselves and believe in God, but the secular world won't let them!"
And then he spends a large portion of the review attacking the exclusive nature of the Christian faith as one of the main reasons (along with the "persecution complex") that he didn't like Woodlawn. Not the acting, or the cinematography, but the fact that most Christians believe that their faith is The Truth.
Now, I'm not saying that the reviewer is a "bigoted non-believer", but it is odd that his big beef with the film seems to be more of a beef with a central tenet of the Christian faith, and not so much with the film itself.
Edit III: Common Sense Media just gave Woodlawn it's tenth "fresh" rating. Like the others, this new review doesn't suggest that the movie is perfect, but it does recognize that it is a well-executed film with quality acting. It also treats the overtly Christian aspects of Woodlawn as something to be aware of, but not feared.

To be fair… there are only 6 critic votes counted. Bascially 100% of 6 critics liked the movie, so while that's a great start, I'm trying to be full disclosure here. Their other film, Mom's Night Out has an 18% and it has 7 fresh votes… but 38 total votes. So technically Mom's Night Out got one more Fresh vote than this one, and still ended up at 18%. It's far too soon to assume this stays at 100%… but I'm extremely hopeful and glad for them.
I realize you mention that at the time of the image it was 5 votes, it is now 6… but just pointing out the juxtaposition with the other film for full context.
Sure, but I don't recall any of the "faith-based" films starting out like this. Five or six reviews, and all of them with a fresh review? And if they were all Christian reviewers, I wouldn't be impressed, but five of the six are from secular publications.
Even if the next twenty are rotten, five or six secular reviews from the start is still a pretty impressive way to begin.
