This section is from the book "A Manual Of Practical Therapeutics", by Edward John Waring. Also available from Amazon: A Manual of Practical Therapeutics.
697. In Suppression Of Urine, Cantharides Proved Successful In The Hands Of Sir A
Cooper, and in the practice of others it has occasionally been useful; but the treatment is not devoid of danger, and it will often prove ineffectual. A large blister to the loins aids its internal exhibition.
698. Other Diseases
In Albuminuria, T. Cantharidis has been successfully employed by M. Monneret. He commences with small doses, and gradually increases it to 60 drops. In the majority of cases its use was attended with decided benefit. Raver also speaks favourably of it, but considers that it is an uncertain remedy, and one which may prove dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced. In five cases treated with it by Dr. Wells, there was marked improvement in three, and in two it failed. Dr. Wells observed that it sometimes increased the coagulability of the urine. In Granular Disease of the Kidney, the Tincture (eiv. - xij.) is favourably mentioned by Rayer and Dr. Copland.
699. In Paraplegia, Dr
Watson} recommends the T. Cantharidis. It certainly has, he observes, sometimes a very beneficial effect. Generally when it does good, it acts as a diuretic; and Dr. Seymour suggests, that it is most likely to be useful in cases of serous effusions into the spinal cavity, or Spinal Dropsy. He recommends the Tincture as a good diuretic; and supposes that it benefits Paraplegia by tending to produce absorption of the serum effused within the vertebral canal.
700. In Chronic Hooping Cough, The Following Formula, Proposed By Dr
Beatty, is stated by Dr. Graves|| to be very efficacious in many instances: - Infus. Cinchon. Co. fvj., T. Canthar., T. Opii aa fss., M. sumat. coch. min. aut mag. ter in die. A similar formula was found very successful by Dr. Lettsom.
701. In Scurvy, Mr
Irven¶ strongly recommends T. Cantharidis. He commences with from 10 to 20 drops thrice daily, and gradually increases the dose until the patient takes 80 drops daily. Under its use he observed decided improvement.
702. In Deafness depending upon a thickened state of the membrana tympani, and where there is much irritation of the meatus externus, Mr. Toynbee** states, that he has seen great benefit follow the application of an ointment composed of 3ss. of Powdered Cantharides and j. of Lard. It should be applied below and behind the ear twice daily; at the same time he advises alterative doses of Blue Pill, or some other mercurial.

|| Dub. Journ. of Med. Sciences, No. iv. ¶ Lancet, Dec. SO, 1S42. ** Monthly Journal, March 1849.
703. In Lepra and Psoriasis, the internal exhibition of Cantharides has been in common use since the time of Dr. Mead,* in 1767. He used it with success, and others have found it occasionally beneficial. Cantharides, observes Dr. Schedel, seems more useful when Psoriasis appears without evident cause, when it occurs among subjects of a soft and flabby constitution, when the eruption is very extensive, and when a course of purgatives has been had recourse to without advantage. The dietetic regimen should be severe. He advises the Tincture in doses of gutt. iij. - v. thrice daily, and the daily dose to be increased gutt, v. every six or eight days. It should be immediately discontinued if it disagree. Given thus, Dr. Schedel states that he has seen the greatest benefit from its use. In Eczema, its internal use with equal parts of T. Camph. cum Op. is advised by Mr. E. Wilson.
704. To Chilblains, the following liniment is spoken of as an excellent application by Mr. Wardrop and Mr. Cooper:§ -

Banners showcase First Nation stories in Downtown Victoria
Art lovers who visit Downtown Victoria can now admire and enjoy series of banners by Coast Salish artist Dylan Thomas.
The four banners depict traditional stories about the Lekwungen People, and will adorn downtown lampposts until the end of October.
The City's biennial summer banner program showcases the talents of local artists and reflects the vibrancy and creativity of the city.
Thomas' artwork was one of nine submissions the City received in response to a recent Call to Artists, and was selected by the City's Art in Public Places Committee. Thomas' designs are original works created for the summer banner program.
"As a person with Lekwungen (Songhees) heritage, who was born and raised in Victoria, I feel a profound connection to this area in its modern, historical and pre-historical contexts, all of which I've tried to capture in my banner designs," said Dylan Thomas.
"For these banners, I've symbolized some of the lesser-known aspects of this territory's history and mythology."
The summer banners depict the following Lekwungen stories:
Born on the Shores – This banner depicts Thomas' great grandmother, who was one of the last Lekwungen People born in the Old Songhees Village (currently Songhees Point), less than a year before the reserve was transferred to its current location. The top face is the mother and the bottom face is the infant, representing the two villages where his great grandmother lived.
Camossung – Before it was called Fort Victoria, this land was briefly known as Fort Camossung, named after a girl in a Lekwungen legend who was turned into the boulder that sat in the waters at Tillicum Narrows. The boulder created a rare, tide-dependant, two-directional waterfall until it was blown up with dynamite in 1960. The banner's artwork depicts Camossung with blue water rushing around her.
Building the Bastion – Using the salmon and Salish figure as Lekwungen symbols and the loon as a symbol for Canada, this banner represents the historical collaboration between the Lekwungen People and the Hudson's Bay Company representatives who worked together to build Fort Victoria. 1 of 2
Reef-Nets – Reef-net fishing was exclusively used by Salish communities and involved the skillful manoeuvring of canoes to capture salmon on their way to spawning grounds. This banner honours the skill by depicting two salmon above a human figure, symbolizing the Lekwungen People's respect for the sacred salmon cycle.

After having looked at e-book readers for quite some time, I finally took the plunge and bought me a Kindle. While in Malta, I had many times wished that I had a good e-reader. Dragging more than one book around was just not possible, and even then that one book would have to be quite thin. I have Kindle for Android[a] on my phone, but reading on a Xperia Ray[b] is just as comfortable as you would suspect. Especially in bright sunlight.
So I took the plunge. I wanted a reader that was light, had a great battery life, and was cheap. I wasn't interested in a tablet, which meant that the Kindle Fire[c] or any of the Android-based tablets such as the Nook Color[d] was out. This narrowed the field to three contestants for me: Nook Simple Touch[e], Sony PRS-T1[f] and Kindle[g]. The Nook is a little bit heavier for no good reason, the Sony is two grams lighter but has awful keys, so the Kindle won the weight battle.
Also, I already have an account on Amazon, have already bought stuff from them, and as I mentioned above, has used the Kindle app on my phone - so it wasn't like the other two were in the race anyway.
There isn't really anything more that can be said about the Kindle than what has already been said long before I arrived at this party. Amazon, being dependent on their Kindle users getting hooked on reading and buying more books in the Kindle Store[h], have of course honed the mechanism they use to deliver their drug to perfection.
The Kindle is light, comfortable, functional and totally awesome. It is an e-reader that feels like a book, but better.
This lighted cover for the Kindle[i] is a must-have if you, like me, sometimes end up reading without sufficient lighting. Since an e-ink display is purely reflective, you are completely dependent on having a light source for reading.
This cover has a little led light that draws power from the Kindle and nicely illuminates the front of it.
The Kindle store has many books, but the universe of readable things is much bigger. Next comes the problem of getting these things onto the Kindle.
It works: There's the state of the market of these apps summed up for you. SENDtoREADER actually delivers the webpage to your Kindle when you press "Send to Reader". Unlike Instapaper, whose send to Kindle bookmarklet has gone missing in action.
Images: SENDtoREADER includes images, even including one of them as a book cover. It really feels like you're getting an e-book version of the web page you sent, not some kind of stripped-down HTML source code dump.
No Junk: Other services put links, ads and assorted junk before and after the article. Not this one. You get the webpage and nothing more.
It sends it: The service does one thing and does it very well. Instead of having to organize your articles before you can download them or send them to your Kindle, SENDtoREADER just sends them. Even if I've rapid-fire clicked "Send to Reader" on a handful of articles and I know that when I open my Kindle, they will all be there.
So, there you go. SENDtoREADER is awesome.
What if you have a smartphone? If it is an Android phone, DroidToReader[m] is it. It uses the SENDtoREADER API to add another service in the Share menu in the Android UI. Want to send a webpage to your Kindle? Click on Share and then on DroidToReader.
The program can also download RSS feeds and create a Kindle newspaper issue from the articles.
Single column: Just like a smartphone, web pages look best on the Kindle if they are a single long column. Horizontal scrolling is just not a viable option.
Small screen: Means small margins, to maximize the amount of content that can be displayed.
No mouse: Technically, there is a mouse pointer. But it can only click - not click and drag.
Monochrome: The Kindle has no color display, so any web page that uses color coding of elements will be unusable.
Low color depth: The display can only show 16 levels of gray, and for text there's really only two options: black or white. Any inbetween level makes the text almost unreadable.
High resolution: 10pt Arial looks good on my computer monitor. On a Kindle, it looks like 10pt Myopia.
Slow display: While a computer monitor can switch a pixel's color in milliseconds, an e-ink[r] display has a much longer switching time.
Here are the points that I've figured out so far.
If you read this on a Kindle, you are reading 14pt Times New Roman with a CSS line-height of 150%. After playing around with other fonts, this was what I decided on. The size is comfortable while still allowing me to fit lots of text on a page. Increasing the line spacing makes it easier to track the text across the Kindle, which is too wide to be thought of as a single newspaper column of text.
There is no way to test for a Kindle using CSS media queries[s]. The Kindle itself only honors the @media screen type, and considers itself a color display with a depth of 24 bpp. The little liar.
This blog uses Prettify[t] to format source code. While reading Java Generics and API Extensions, I realized that Java code with generics tend to produce very long sequences of characters that couldn't be broken up. One option was to use word-break: break-all, but that would not be very nice looking. Instead, I inserted a zero-width space, UNICODE U+200B[u], in front of '<' and '.', the two characters that are most often seen in long sequences of letters: The former in type parameter lists (List<Map<A,B>>), the latter in identifiers (window.document.title).
The formatting is still far from perfect, but at least we get line breaks in sensible places.

Article Review: Daniel Silverstone (2010). The Policing of Vietnamese Organized Crime within the UK
For the previous period of years, starting 2007 up to 2008, there have been studies on the topic of policing concerning the Vietnamese organized crimes. Daniel Silverstone's article gives a comprehensive study on the impact of such organized crimes in the UK. The article suggests that issues of conventional policing approaches to solve this problem are flawed, since there are many issues blocking the real strategies being put in place. The author in his work then went ahead to suggest some strategies of which the community might engage themselves in to help rescue the Vietnamese victims, who are mostly affected by such policies. In this book, the author is really trying to point out how the policies and law enforcements are being biased to the Vietnamese community, and yet they might not be the real perpetrators of such crimes. The crimes talked about are cannabis cultivation, of which are practiced in Canada and UK, which is basically done by a collaboration of many cartels, and yet the poor and minority (Vietnamese) are the victims of law enforcement orders. These victims languish in prison at the expense of the real perpetrators, who continue enjoying their freedom in the outside world. This therefore forms the basis of the author's argument, as he tries to qualitatively give out some reasons behind his argument.
According to Silverstone's research on the Vietnamese community, he was able to figure out that it is indeed true the problem of cannabis cultivation was growing rapidly starting from 2002 (Silverstone, 2010). The goes ahead to state that a major Metropolitan Police crackdown was implemented in 2006, title 'Operation Keymer', which targeted at rooting out these criminal gangs that practiced cannabis farming (ACPO, 2006). The key issue that the author tries to bring out is that long period that the legal authority, in conjunction with Metropolitan Police took to respond to this issue, even after such cases were reported starting from 2002. Silverstone goes ahead to indicate that these enforcements continued actively, and that around '2000' cannabis planting firms were raided in England and Wales, in the year 2007 (ACPD, 2008a). The figure of these firms are so alarming that calls for question of what the police were really doing on the ground up to when such firms rose to these levels.
The author goes ahead to point out that the Serious Organized Crime Agency of 2009, stated that cannabis factories are majorly run and governed by the Vietnamese gangs' (Daly, 2007). This is caused form the perspective that most Vietnamese had no good background on education, and the only activity they could majorly engage themselves in is drug business. It is also stated that most of these groups came from Canada, thus bringing the ideas of farming such drugs in very skilled patterns. However, there is no real evidence to point to such evidence. Daniel, in his work also stated that this business is very much profitable, since each house might b turned to cannabis producing factory, and thus the annual profits obtained from it could amount to hundreds of millions of pounds (Robinson, 2007). The author in this section has tried to use some case study based on available source data to clarify the benefits behind such business. The idea of which only the poor Vietnamese farmers are convicted and sent to prisons, on charges of drug trafficking is not justified, since it does not really solve the problem. The reason behind this is that there might be some sources from within that are really promoting such activities. The authors in his article states that the activities of smuggling people into the foreign coutries are predominant, hence the majority of the population smuggled to UK work within such firms as means of repaying the fee incurred while smuggling them in. the transaction fees are estimated to be between 12,500 pounds and 15,000 pounds (IOM,2006). If truth has to be told, these secret players should be the ones to be sent to prisons.
Looking at these aspects being suggested by the author (Silverstone), his arguments are valid. One can really get the reason as to why he wrote this article, since he is really precise to the point. He wrote this article basing on the facts, such as the profits obtained by the transactions of such businesses did involve the legal banks accounts, and in particularly, the accounts held by the students (Silverstone, 2010). The author is able to clarify that the Vietnamese community is being biased upon, since they are assisted to come into the UK by Special Forces in the UK system, and yet these forces are not touched. The author is however biased to some extent on his stand, since this community (Vietenamese) has a lot to be blamed for. The reason for this is that this generation completely have no clean records of their background, and hence, this makes it hard for them to be deported back to their country to be tried legally there (Bellett, 2008). Due to lack of such background roots of the criminals, the UK is thus justified in judging them accordingly without being questioned by the external international forces.
The author states that the Vietnamese community that is being involved in cultivating cannabis in Canada is basically concentrated in British Colombia and that this figure is approximately 30,000, which is the legal Vietnamese community in UK (Coss-Hernadez, 2005). This figure can be interpreted to be more valid and reliable; as compared to other authors who might just provide such figures without have the base evidence. To add more weight on its reliability, the author further states that this industry has grown tremendously, and generates an approximate of 2 billion dollars per annum (Easton, 2004). The author has achieved in stating some reasons as to why such annum incomes continues rising up. For instance, the cartels running such activities are protected by some company policies. There is a policy of secrecy, of which, the company has the right to completely deny any legal firm access to its transaction (FACT, 2009). According to the author, such firms, like the one supplying electricity to these firms should help the legal framework in identifying the areas where such illegal activities are held, but instead these companies protect these drug dealers. This therefore justifies the author's argument and hence making his work more reliable to be used for further research (NPIA, 2009).
The author's work also reflects the real aspects of economy and general GDP of the country involved. Transactions of drug businesses such as cannabis farming involves a lot of cash, hence there is a lot of circulation of foreign currencies in the market. The action that might be taken by the respective law enforcing agencies, such as freezing the accounts of the drug loads might require a lot of cash, whereby the final impact might be sent to the tax payer. This forms the main stumbling blocks in the way of justice, hence making it hard to reach the big dealers in this illegal business. The rewards from this business are quite convincing, and can lead to more need of increasing its roots. For instance, the authors states in the article that starting from 2000/2001, the number of previous illegal migrants to the UK through smuggling have been increasing throughout (IOM, 2006). This contributes to the reason as to why there are slow rates of reducing such activities in UK and yet there is an increase on the number of reported cases, despite the tough condition on the land (Gilmour, 2008).
Basing on the author's work, the analytical framework over which these cases are solved is based on the complexion and color of the suspects. It is understood that racism plays a role here, since by the fact of one being a Vietnamese doest justify one as a criminal, not unless proven so. Majority of kingpins in this business are people from the UK, themselves, and they are also protected by their own legal firms through corruption. In as much as they might be known they are not sent to prisons, but instead the Vietnamese are subjected to such sentences, since it is believed that they have literally less to offer in their lives (Sims, 2007). The author also goes a head to state that the general history of emerging crime threats are littered with exaggerations, which are also tinged with various racial prejudices (Woodiwis, 2009). This justifies why majority of people languishing in UK prisons are Vietnamese, and yet they are not the only people involved in such illegal activities. Some of them might be arrested without committing ant crimes, and since they have no one to help them get out of these situations, they languish in prisons, paying for the crimes committed by someone else.
In relation to the field, an individual would most likely do what he or she can deliver in order to earn a living. Daniel in his article goes a head to state that from his research, there is enough evidence that those involved in the art of cultivating cannabis are 'mono-ethnic' (Ruggerio, 2006). In relation to the history, education levels in Vietnam are not up to great standards, hence this makes it really heard for a Vietnamese international to be employed in a legal UK firm. The only options these migrants can involved themselves in are the ones stated above, hence justifies the reason as to why a majority of them are sent to prisons. This therefore brings out the message of having practical knowledge, of which the author has successfully communicated to its audience. To be competitive in market enough, there is need to have at least some training of some kind, ...


WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 18, 2019) – After taking down then No. 20 Colorado Mesa by a final score of 12-8, and earning their sixth-straight victory, the Rollins men's lacrosse team has cracked into the national rankings, checking in at No. 20 on the USILDA/Nike and New Balance Division II Poll, as well as No. 16 on the NIKE/US Lacrosse Division II Top 20, officials from both organizations announced Monday.

When a debtor calls in to complain about damage to their vehicle after redeeming it from the agent, how do you handle it? Do you have a process in place? Damage claim form, pictures or estimates required? Or do you, the lender, refer the debtor back to agent for them to work out?
99% of all damage claims have no validity....simply the debtor wanting something for nothing. In other words, the debtor sees what they think is an opportunity to make someone else pay for their mistake because they didn't make their payment.
You hit the nail on the head! Proper documentation is the key...detailed condition and clear pictures. You have a debtor that you chased for payment, probably never even returned all your repeated calls and if they did made promises to pay but never did which left you no choice but to assign out for repossession. The only reason the debtor paid the loan up to date was to get their vehicle back. And NOW the debtor wants to call the lender to complain. Hmmmm....NO! Who is more credible? The debtor who refused to communicate with you and if they did lied to you about payments or the agent who you hire on a regular basis to perform repossessions? It baffles me that some lenders automatically toss this back on the agent.
Well said! Its funny how a lender actually sounds serious sometimes asking the professional repo co. About a rediculous claim of some sort by the oh so honest debtor that has been avoiding and lying to bank and the repo guy has chased for so long, then finally gets caught and makes up some kind of bogus claim. Makes you just want to laugh, but instead you have to remain professional and waste your time explaining and proving the debtor is lying and looking for any freebie they can get!

Karim Khan in the courtroom of the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague, the Netherlands, June 4, 2007 (pool photo by Robert Vos via AP Images).
Can a New Chief Prosecutor Revitalize the ICC?
The Editors Thursday, March 4, 2021
The member states of the International Criminal Court recently appointed British lawyer Karim Khan as the ICC's next chief prosecutor. He is expected to start his nine-year term in June, replacing Gambian attorney Fatou Bensouda in the role. Khan is a veteran of the international legal world, having served as both prosecutor and defense counsel in a number of prominent cases. He also recently led a special U.N. investigation into crimes committed by the Islamic State group.
But his upcoming stint as the ICC's chief prosecutor will arguably be his most challenging assignment yet, given the many criticisms the court has faced in the past. Khan will also need to oversee high-stakes investigations into allegations of war crimes committed by U.S. forces and other combatants in Afghanistan, as well as in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. ...

Doomsday Reels: Creepozoids
Doomsday Reels, Editorial, Movie Reviews, Reviews
Creepozoids (1987)
David DeCoteau
THE ACTORS
Linnea Quigley (Bianca), Ken Abraham (Butch), Michael Aranda (Jesse), Richard L. Hawkins (Jake), Ashlyn Greene (Kate),
Nuclear War
"1998 – Six years after the superpowers have engaged in a devastating nuclear exchange, Earth is now a blackened husk of a planet. Tiny clusters of survivors eke out a miserable existence in the ruins of the cities, and bands of deserters roam the barren wastelands. . . Hiding from mutant nomads and seeking shelter from the deadly acid rains." – Opening text crawl.
We're finally done with robots in our coverage of Charles Band's doomsday films. Now let's move on to genetically altered freaks.
Creepozoids concerns a war-torn future where nuclear weaponry has reduced the world to a wasteland populated by (never actually seen) mutants and radioactive acid rain. Our protagonists, deserters from their military unit, duck into an abandoned building to get out of the rain. The building is well-fortified and appears to be a bomb shelter (we're told, there is no visual indication that getting inside was any harder than turning a door knob) and is stocked with clean running water and a good supply of food.
Unfortunately the facility was a testing ground for an agent which causes living creatures to manufacture their own amino acids, causing them to live indefinitely without food. This agent is likely airborne and mutating our protagonists already, it's probably already in their systems. Even more unfortunately, a giant bug-dog-man-thing is loose in the facility which was why it was locked up to begin with. The weevil-man is killing people. . . sometimes, other times it just kidnaps them and vomits black shit on them which causes them to die. There's also a big mutant rat, I guess that these two are collectively the creepozoids.
This is an ensemble piece, not due to the strength of the dialogue or onscreen chemistry, but because all the characters are too devoid of distinguishing features to stand out on their own. There's the brave hero type, the tough-but-sensible woman, the bubbly girl with hidden depths (and I'm using that term generously), the smart guy, and the meat-head. The least dull of these five is the first person to die and the movie continues in that vein, offing each character in order of most compelling to least. By the time we get to the final showdown between Weevil Man and our last surviving lump, you don't even care who lives or dies.
The acting is generally adequate and occasionally awful. Linnea Quigley is the only memorable cast member and not just because she appears sans clothing as tradition dictates. Quigley's character Bianca is shallow, but energetic and more animated than the rest of the cast, owing to the fact that she's a charming, if not particularly skilled, actress.
The Weevil creature is like the off-brand K-Mart version of H.R. Giger's alien and is completely stupid-looking when we finally get a good look at it.
This movie makes no sense. What is Weevil Man? Why does he kill some people but vomit goo on others? Is he trying to make them like him? If he is trying to change them then why do they just die? Why does one character turn into a mutant after getting bitten by the rat but another character gets bit and nothing happens?
What is in the syringe that the final survivor uses on Weevil Man? Why does the dead Weevil Man give birth to a human baby with sharp teeth? Why does the baby immediately want to kill our survivor? Is the agent airborne like the characters think? Are our characters turning into mutants like Weevil Man and the rat?
Much of this movie feels like it was being written as it was being made. It feels like Charles Band just showed up at David DeCoteau's house one day with a truck load of props and some actors and said, "Here Dave, go make a movie." "Okay, what's it about?" "Doesn't matter, just make something, we'll figure out the story in post."
This is a movie that culminates in a person strangling a giant shark-toothed baby, and that isn't nearly as hilarious as it sounds. I've seen third-tier Roger Corman movies that had their shit together better than this movie does. Up From the Depths is a more professionally made movie than Creepozoids!
Fortunately Charles Band never met an idea that wasn't good enough to use at least three times, so you can happily watch Crash and Burn or Shadowzone and pretend to live in a world where this movie doesn't exist.
THE SHILL
Creepozoids is available on DVD.

Q: How do I list emails with attachment names using Microsoft Graph SDK? I can retrieve the emails and attachments using this code:
var emails = await graphServiceClient.Users["user@company.com"].MailFolders["Inbox"].Messages
            .Request()
            .Top(10)
            .Expand("attachments")
            .Select("subject,receivedDateTime,from,attachments")
            .GetAsync(cancellationToken);

However I'm not interested in the contents for the attachments (expanding the attachments is around 3x slower). Is it possible to get just the attachment names in a single call? If I leave out the .Expand then the Attachments property is null.

A: Try to use $select in Expand to return only selected properties for expanded property.
var emails = await graphServiceClient.Users["user@company.com"].MailFolders["Inbox"].Messages
            .Request()
            .Top(10)
            .Expand("attachments($select=name)")
            .Select("subject,receivedDateTime,from,attachments")
            .GetAsync(cancellationToken);

Q: Opening gnome-terminal and running script in tcl When I try to execute below command it is showing Error like "extra characters after close-quote" but I gave it properly  & when i try to it in unix command line terminal is opening properly.
exec gnome-terminal -e 'sh -c "bsub -Ip -n 1 -M <Memory> -q <queue_name> make"'

Can any one help me to resolve this issue or is there any way to do the same thing ??
Edited ->  changed " from before sh to before bsub

A: Tcl's quoting is not the shell's quoting. Tcl uses {…} like the shell uses single quotes, except that braces nest nicely. Nesting single quotes is a recipe for shell headaches.
exec gnome-terminal -e {sh -c "bsub -Ip -n 1 -M <Memory> -q <queue_name> make"}

However, in this case I'd instead be tempted to go with this:
set memory "<Memory>"
set queue "<queue_name>"
set command "make"

set bsubcmd "bsub -Ip -n 1 -M $memory -q $queue $command"
# It's much more convenient to build this command like this here.
# Otherwise you're doing lots of backslashes and so on and it's horrible and very easy to make bugs
exec gnome-terminal -e [format {sh -c "%s"} $bsubcmd]

The only really messy thing is that command and bsubcmd have to be built using shell syntax if you're passing spaces around. "Fortunately" you're dealing with make anyway, so you probably really want to avoid having spaces in names passed there.

Recap – Legends' House: Episode 3
May 3, 2014 by Scott Keith
This week, on Legends' House – bowling with old ladies! I don't really like watching bowling with PROFESSIONAL bowlers, but old ladies and old wrestlers? Count me in! Also, that first sentence might be constructed strangely. I didn't mean that they were going to be bowling, using old ladies as balls, although that might be interesting to watch. Also, that last sentence might be constructed strangely. I don't think they're going to be using old ladies as balls in any form, although that might also be interesting to watch.
Previously, on Legends' House, Tony Atlas is annoying to live with. Like, not annoying enough to make things interesting, or quirky enough to make things fun (although he did really give it a go last episode), but still, slightly annoying. Oh, and also they cooked and ate food.
Inside the Legends' House, Tony and Jimmy are working out, and the rest of them are sleeping. Roddy yawns and says "holy cow". And I guess that's that.
Later, Ashley walks in, and says hi to everyone, telling them they have "fun things to do". I somehow doubt it, but I'm going to go ahead and have extremely high hopes for this episode. Ashley says, "We've accepted a challenge on your behalf from a local bowling league that has called you out, and I've heard that they're pretty (snicker) tough." Ha ha, ho. Fink seems extremely confident and says, "You are looking at some of the greatest alleymen in the business." First of all, "alleymen"? I've done my fair share of bowling, but I've never heard that term. I'm fine with that, I mean, it might be common, and I am able to figure out what it means (it means "bowlers"), but still, weird. Also, what business? The ex-wrestling business? Anyway, he's super excited. Also anyway, they have FIVE MINUTES to get ready! I am sitting here, typing this review, wiping sleep from my eyes, and I'm already ready to go bowling. It doesn't take much prep. Oh, I see – it does in this case, because they show up at the bowling alley, and they all have bowling shirts on. So they go in, and Hillbilly says, "We're going to engage in a bowling contest!", which, thanks, Hillbilly and editing team, I already was tracking with you. You just fucking showed me and told me that they were going bowling. I've got this.
Anyway, it's old ladies, which would still not really be surprising even if I didn't already know. It's whatever. They announce that they are called "The Bowling Queens". Now we just need to know the name of ladies' team! HA! Get it? Because…ugh. Hacksaw acts weird and makes all the guys call them hoes. Or say "ho". And then they talk about how they're all nice ladies, and I think Pat makes the obvious joke I made earlier about wanting to meet the "desert queen", because I'm really not that good at this. Also, I'm watching this on my computer, and there's a little half loop control button at the bottom of the video player with a 10 inside of it. Apparently this makes the video go back 10 seconds, which is sadly useful for this kind of stuff. Or would be, if it didn't just crash my player. So, upon rewatch, they don't show show who says it, but it makes it look like Roddy actually said it. Mean Gene acts like a perv and calls one of the ladies a tomato. And we're off. Bowling. They talk about how dressy the ladies' team is, and one of the ladies tells Tony that they'll go easy on them. Which Tony is ok with, because he says he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Come on, man. Do you have no life experience at all? You've never been near a horse, never been bowling? Even if you've never been bowling, couldn't you pretty quickly figure it out? Throw the round heavy at the standy white things. Make them fall. Howard re-re-reiterates his confidence and they show a couple old clips of him actually wrestling. Hilariously (and genuinely), he bowls terribly – he does the thing where he doesn't know how to take the right amount of steps, and ends up shuffling/tippy toeing up to the line, and then throws it into the gutter. Jesus, all of them suck, as they show them all bowling nothing but gutterballs. Mean Gene bowls one from the concession stand, and the ladies alternate talking shit and trying to be helpful to this poor, stupid man, telling him he can go all the way up to the line before limp-wristedly wishing one in the general direction of the pins. I'm also not positive Gene remembered to wear pants. It looks like he's wearing old man boxers – and yes, I've seen my share. Gene says "holy balls".
And of course, a montage of the girls getting lots of spares. The guys all complain about how they didn't know the old girls would be such good bowlers. Which, for one, of course they're going to be. And two, they're not THAT good. They're not like senior tour champions or anything, with wrist stabilizers and putting crazy spin on the ball. They're just probably 50-65 year old housewives who go bowling on that Tuesday night league, and probably finished second last year. Hacksaw comments that they (The Legends) were playing their (The Queens) game, but if they (The Queens) came into the ring, the Legends would beat the devil out of them. WHY AM I NOT WATCHING THAT VERSION OF THIS SHOW? The guys all talk about how competitive they are, and how they want to win. Roddy says he used to be "the most feared man in the world". Ok, but not really, Roddy. Whatever helps you sleep/wander into vacant lots and howl/sleep again at night. Drums come in, and the guys are getting fired up. A couple strikes, and then they show Hacksaw bowl an 8 (which, I guess is the best thing he did the entire time – even editing can't cover up his shittiness, apparently), which leads into some classic Hacksaw clips. A couple of the ladies are actually kinda young-ish and hot-ish looking. When I saw the previews, I thought it was going to be geriatric but professional female bowlers. Instead, this show gives us some kinda old, sorta decent female bowlers. This is a microcosm of this whole fucking thing, complete half-assery.
Then it's done, and the guys look at the scoreboards like fucking cavemen seeing an iPhone. Jimmy absolutely amazingly says, "There's no way to tell who won by looking at the scoreboards." I'm seriously beside myself. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOU FUCKING TELL WHO WINS. You might have to add a couple scores together for teams, but Christ. They were electronic scoreboards. You didn't even have to make the little slashies and x's or figure out the scoring on a spare or a 10th frame strike or anything. Just add numbers together. Truly, truly amazing. And then they show the results. The Legends…736 pins. The Queens…876 pins. Are you seriously fucking shitting me? That's not even close at all. You couldn't visually tell, without even technically doing math or addition, that there was a big difference between those scores? I can't. I can't do this anymore.
The next morning, Ashley comes back in wearing some short little leather shorts and heels, and I guess I can muscle through just a little more of this show. She informs the guys that they will be split into two teams, and each team will have to make a 30 second commercial for a local business. And what they should do, is, something like:
"Hi, I'm former WWE wrestler blah blah blah, and these are 3 other old famous wrestlers. Buy Bob's Lumber." And, scene. Let's find out together how they fuck this up. They look hesitant, but Ashley says, "C'mon guys, it's just like cutting a promo." Which, fucking yes. Exactly. Gene is the captain of one of the teams, and talks about how it's right down his alley. Which, fucking yes. It sure is. They show a clip of Gene with Rick Rude as something falls down in the background and screw up his flow, which was actually really funny. I hadn't seen that before. The other captain is Piper, and they pick teams. Tony is the last person picked, probably because he's going to be the biggest detriment to the entire process, and Ashley hands both captains envelopes with instructions that they have to follow. One envelope says "stay here", and the other says "Van is waiting". I hope Hillbilly Jim or one of the guys explains what those envelopes mean, and what they're going to have to do. "That means we get to hit the bricks." Cool, thanks Gene. Jimmy says, "That means we get outta here first." Thanks so much, Jimmy. On the other team, Tony says he wants to run the camera. Roddy says no, because he doesn't think Tony could even run a can opener. That's the blender/freezer calling the can opener black, huh Roddy? Tony is sad because no one likes him. Aw.
Gene and his team of Patterson, Hart, and Hillbilly are taken to a car wash. Gene is just completely shocked that he would be doing a commercial for a car wash. I don't really understand why he is this level of surprised, which is to say, any level of surprised, but whatever. They meet a guy who could be the owner, or could just be the cashier, and Pat makes a gay joke about blowing stuff. Jimmy says he has a lot of "great idears", and is excited to show people what they can do as a team. I'm not sure what that really means at all. I didn't have any pre-conceived notions about this team and being able to make a commercial for a local business. My expectations are zero. I'm pretty sure it'll be stupid, but it's a local commercial for a car wash. Kinda redundant. Meanwhile, a car pulls up to pick up the other dummies. The driver of the car is wearing some very wacky yellow pants, which all the guys comment on. His name is Mark, and he wants them to make a commercial for his business. What business, you ask? He's gonna show us! He opens the door to reveal…them cutting away to show the other guys at the car wash! Are you kidding me? I'm on pins and needles! I need to know, now. I consider fast forwarding or turning the show off completely, but they show Gene and the guys writing the copy and storyboarding. Actually, they seem to be doing a moderately decent job. Pat is confused by simple colors as Jimmy annoys everyone.
And oh my stars, we finally get to see what was hidden inside the car – plastic flamingos! This wacky guy with wacky pants has extra wacky plastic flamingos. Mark goes on to explain that his business is renting plastic flamingos to parties and special events. It's really weird, I've ALWAYS wanted to own a business like that. You know, completely stupid bullshit. Roddy is as confused and irritated as I am, as Hacksaw hits himself in the face with a flamingo. But wait, there's more! Also little yellow rubber duckies! You guys. I don't think I can make it through this one. Where's Ashley and her legs? Mark asks rhetorically, "Can't you just imagine a yard full of plastic flamingos, and a pool full or rubber duckies?" Tony answers, extremely seriously, "Yes. The answer is yes." I fucking howled with laughter at that. I'm back on board. Tony just earned this show 5 more minutes of watchability with that. Tony is way too excited about this. "My momma used to say, a man never grows up, his toys just get more espensive…unless they RUBBER DUCKY RUGGIE BUCKIES!" I swear to God he said that, and again, redeemed this entire show.
Now back to the other guys, Jimmy Hart is fucking shit up. They've got a bit about the vacuum, and Pat says something like, "Vacuums, they really suck. Reminds me a lot of …Piper…'s team." That came off more dark than funny. And back to Piper's Ruggie Bucky team, Fink asks where they should set up, and Roddy says, "I think outside.", completely not joking. Wow, yeah. Tony wants the guys to take the joy of flamingos more seriously than the other guys who are kinda fucking around. Tony is SO excited and squeals "RUBBER DUCKLY DUCKLY!", as he plays with the toys, and gets in all the guys faces, making sure they love the stupid toys as much as he does. Meanwhile, back at the car wash, everyone still thinks Jimmy is annoying. And immediately back to team Rubber Duckly Duckly as Tony is just filled with joy when he figures out a tripod. A couple of the guys shoot or rehearse their parts, and then they show Tony on the ground, RUGGIE BUCKIES stuck to his face and poured all over him, two Flamingos near his crotch, and laughing like a donkey. He does a couple variations of "Rubber ducky rucky bucky" for the commercial. A few minutes later, Tony says "less is more". Yeah, it is, rucky buckly. They all complain about how they're running out of time, and then just do boring arguments with each other. Now, the other group is washing a car. The auto car wash starts, and Pat gets way pissed. Jimmy gets blamed for it and says he didn't do it. This is so very real and unscripted.
Roddy and the guys are doing silly things with the flamingos and saying "Flock of flamingos" over and over. Then Tony is pretty much done, and kinda retreats into a childish, "I'm not talking to anyone" kind of way. But they're not the only ones with DRAMA! The other team is reviewing the tape to see what caused the car wash to start, and it turns out it wasn't Jimmy Hart! I knew it! I didn't care, but I knew it. They end up blaming the owner/cashier for doing it, and I still don't care. Pat cusses out the owner for pushing the button. You know, Pat has such a weird way of talking. It's close to regular human speech, but just a little off. It's like how in CGI there is an effect when creating believable human characters, the more abstracted they are from actual humans, the easier time our brains have of suspending disbelief. But the closer they get to photorealism, even the smallest difference can really throw us off and take us completely out of the realm of believability. I guess I'm trying to say Pat Patterson's accent is the uncanny valley.
I know I say this a lot, but this is really so very long. They could definitely make this a 22 minute show and maybe it would be passable. It's SO long. I've been watching this show forever now. They're all back at the house, and Tony is mumbling to himself about how he's upset. He tells Jimmy how he doesn't want to bond, and he's the outcast, and he doesn't like the other people. Jimmy heads off, and Tony Atlas sings "I'm alone again" to the tune of "On the Road Again", and then burps. The commercial editors come in, and while I respect editors and think film editing is fun and interesting and underrated and absolutely vital, I can't think of too many things I'd rather watch less than a video of people editing. The car wash one appears like it might be semi-professionally done and looking pretty ok. The flamingo one looks like a nightmare. Roddy Piper and Duggan awkwardly close to the camera screaming "Flocko Flamingo! Flocko Flamingo!". Now I don't even want to rent flamingos and rucky buggies because I'm too frightened. Duggan is very positive that it's going to be perfect. They're talking about what kind of music to put, and all the guys immediately shut Tony up every time he tries to help. Tony storms off. Roddy is pissed at Tony and vaguely threatens him. Not to his face, but in the confessional-style interview cut ins they do. Roddy just wants to get the job done, and Tony says he's done. Roddy half-assedly tries to get Tony to rejoin the guys, and Tony says he's done. Again. So Roddy accepts it.
Next morning, Howard thinks the commercial looks great. They're about to have their commercials judged. Roddy calls Tony an asshole, but then talks him up and they hug and laugh. Tony is thankful, and admits he talks too much. Ashley comes in with Red & Link or Rhett and Link, and I don't care, because Ashley is not dressed sluttily enough for my liking. They make commercials or something, and they're gonna judge the guys' commercials. They make good with the guys by saying how they were huge fans, and had all their action figures and stuff. And now we see the commercials. First up is the car wash, and it's really dumb. But, on the other hand, if it were a small town and you saw Jimmy Hart and Mean Gene doing a local commercial, that might be kinda neat. The Reddened Lynx guys talk about how Pat was censored and bleeped out, which you'll remember, was triggered by the owner pushing the button. Which was part of the script, apparently. They just blew commercial kayfabe. Mean Gene says he could see this playing during the Super Bowl. He was obviously joking. Then it's the Rucky Buckies' turn, and oh my God. It's absolutely terrifying. The judges say how bad it was, but it was memorable. One of the judges says the exact same thing as I just did, how it's memorable, but will haunt his nightmares. Roddy's team wins. Ashley announces that both teams will be going to Vegas. Roddy's team goes in a limo, the losing team goes in a van. Mean Gene says balls again. The guys ride in the van and are upset about it, even though it's nice enough and big enough. A trooper pulls over the limo and WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS, NEXT WEEK, ON LEGEND'S HOUSE!

One TED speaker adorns the walls of the New York City subway, another the walls of a building in Dubai…
Posted by: Rebekah Barnett, Joseph Isaac and Alejandra Vasquez
January 13, 2017	at 6:18 pm EST
As usual, the TED community has lots of news to share this week. Below, some highlights.
A subway line with museum-worthy art. After 45 years of construction and $4.5 billion spent, the first section of New York City's Second Avenue subway line opened on January 1 with four stations. Maybe the best feature of the new line? The amazing artwork decorating the walls of the new stations, including Vik Muniz at the 72nd Street station. Muniz was one of four artists chosen from 300 applicants to turn a station into an art installation. (Watch Vik's TED Talk)
A silver mural for Dubai. Artist eL Seed is wrapping up work on his first public-art project in the city that he calls home, Dubai. On the walls of the city's Green Planet Building, the mural is done in his signature calligraphic style using iridescent silver spray paint, so that the color of the mural changes depending on the time of day and angle from which it's viewed. The work spells out the words of the poem Positive Spirit, written by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, with a message about the importance of faith and the resolve it takes to fulfill your dreams. (Watch eL Seed's TED Talk)
A mission to asteroids. Dedicated to unlocking mysteries of the solar system through shorter, more focused missions, NASA's Discovery Program announced on January 4 that they were launching two new missions to asteroids in a search for clues about the early solar system. The projects, Lucy and Psyche, will respectively study the Trojan asteroids behind Jupiter and will send an orbiter to 16 Psyche (hence the name), a massive metallic object in the asteroid belt, as detailed by the Washington Post. According to NASA's Planetary Science Director and TED speaker Jim Green, these missions will "help us understand how the sun and its family of planets formed, changed over time, and became places where life could develop and be sustained — and what the future may hold." (Watch Jim's TED Talk)
"I don't think we're free in America." In order to confront and reclaim this country's long history of racial violence, the Equal Justice Initiative launched a "Lynching in America" initiative–a comprehensive record of racial terror lynching–and has plans for a memorial in Alabama dedicated to victims of lynching. In an interview in The Intercept, director of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson discusses the urgency of facing this long history of violence in the wake of this country's civil unrest: "I think we're all burdened by this history of racial injustice, which has created a narrative of racial difference, which has infected us, corrupted us, and allowed us to see the world through this lens. So it becomes necessary to talk about that history if we want to get free." (Watch Bryan's TED Talk)
In search of the perfect surf. Surf photographer Chris Burkard's upcoming documentary Under an Arctic Sky follows six adventurous surfers who set sail along the frozen shores of Iceland in the midst of the worst storm the country has seen in twenty-five years. The film is due for release in early 2017. (Watch Chris' TED Talk)
Stem cell science: from bench to bedside. On the 7th and 8th of January, Susan Lim co-chaired the 2nd Nucleus Forum of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. The forum, attended by scientists and business and investor leaders in biotech and healthcare, was a discussion on ways to help bring breakthrough stem cell science from the bench to the bedside. The forum also discussed the new 21st Century Cures Act, signed into law by President Obama on December 13, and brought together the stem cell and gene editing communities, with Lim's fellow TED speaker and CRISPR pioneer Jennifer Doudna also in attendance. (Watch Susan's TED Talk and watch Jennifer's TED Talk)
Empathy, not sympathy. In the aftermath of Donald Trump's election and the success of Brexit in the United Kingdom, democracies around the world have experienced a populist backlash against politics as usual. However, it would be unfair, Michael Sandel writes in Project Syndicate, to analyze these results as nothing more than racism, xenophobia, or economic discontent. Rather, they come from grievances related to social esteem, and the failure of establishment parties to properly engage with those relevant voters. Sandel argues that, moving forward, progressive parties must "learn from the populist protest that has displaced them – not by emulating its xenophobia and strident nationalism, but by taking seriously the legitimate grievances with which these sentiments are entangled."

"Otherworldliness"… probably it is the voice of a world condemned to disappear with the French Revolution. No more harpsichords, violas da gamba and all of these aristocratic things.
You're not related to Toon Koopman , are you?
Yes, I changed my name running away from Erato, dear erato .
Olivier Baumont's Dandrieu CD on Accord seems unavailable again. Browsing around, came across another Dandrieu recording by Betty Bruylants. Does anyone have an opinion on whether it's any good?
Also came across this set by Scott Ross.
Of primary interest is his D'anglebert. I have Rousset's Decca integral and consider it exquisite. How does Scott Ross compare to him?
Don't know Bruylants, but get the superb Baumont that is still available on Amazon.
Indeed a box set, and not a single disc as indicated by Amazon. I share your enthusiasm for Rousset's D'Anglebert and I prefer it to Ross', so would stick to that.
Que, the following link has two samples from Bruylants' Dandrieu.
Comparing them to the same pieces by Baumont (jpc), I find Bruylants the superior interpreter. Slower, more languid, more nuanced phrasing and the harpsichord more luscious sounding. Of course, this is only from samples lasting less than a minute.
Reviews are mixed, this site obviously giving a glowing one, but American Record Guide considered it very average, saying, from what I gathered, her playing lacked fluency and character. I think Repertoire gave it a 2 out of 10! Whereas Baumont's Dandrieu is considered a reference and was awarded some Choc Monde accolade.
Also, running time is 68 mins, while Baumont's is about 50 mins.
Hello James - just starting to add more harpsichord music to my collection in the last year or so, including the French composers; don't know if you already own or have heard the 2-CD set below of D'Anglebert w/ Elizabeth Farr; I've had this set for a while, but cannot compare to the other artists you list above - Fanfare had a great review (reason for my purchase) which is Reprinted HERE; and of course the great Naxos savings!
Hi, and, yep, I purchased Farr's D'anglebert a few months ago on the strength of her superb 3-cd Byrd set (also on Naxos) and the exceptional price. I tried very much to like it but did not really succeed, and gave the set to a friend. She plays much too slow and, at least for me, the momentum is lost. Worse still, the lute harpsichord does not really suit D'anglebert's profusely ornamented music, making the pieces sound almost annoying (an example of a good lute harpsichord recording is Robert Hill's Bach transcriptions double CD). The minor suites played on harpsichord are better, but nowhere near the superb standard set by Rousset in his recording. Maybe that's why I didn't fancy Farr, because of comparison with Rousset.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a good and extremely value-for-money set, and the Fanfare review has great things to say about it. And quite a few reviews have criticised Rousset's D'anglebert as being too fast, clinical and relentless. I guess it's just a matter of taste and preference. On my part, I find Rousset, who always gives great importance to the tempo of the music while respecting the composer's intentions (sometimes too much), the more convincing interpreter. And he plays a glorious Rucker's original.
There are other recordings: Celine Frisch, I feel also fails to convince but it gets a superb recommendation from ClassicsToday; a 1990 recording by Arthur Haas which is greatly admired; Hank Knox, from the jpc samples I've heard, also seems very idiomatic.
And Farr's Byrd set is a definite must-have. Her use of the lute harpsichord in this recording, which suits these pieces very well, is exemplary and fully convincing.
Regarding the sound of the instruments, I think jpc's inferior sounds samples might have done injustice to the Baumont recording. His Benoist Stehlin harpsichord from 1750 sounds very fine to me: bright, deep and firm. Judged from the samples, I personally prefer Baumont's fleeter and stronger characterised playing.
After seeing (and hearing) Tafelmusik in concert (Händel's Water Music and selections from Rameau's Dardanus) I picked up their recording of Dardanus which is excellent. Anyone who is also a movie buff will recall the third track whose music, Tambourins I/II from Dardanus was used so effectively for the soundtrack of the Heath Ledger vehicle, Casanova.
For French baroque music, I have recordings by Corrette, Rameau, Couperin and LeClair. I also have no more than one or two CD's each by Marais and Lully. Any suggestions as to what other French baroque composers I should be adding to my collection?
I actually do have a few CD's of Charpentier's works, which I forgot to mention.
Thanks for the samples, Que. I listened to them repeatedly and concur with your assessment fully. What sounded harsh in the jpc samples sounds deep and resonant in the samples you provided, and the phrasing sounds much smoother as a result. Bruylants, however, comes of sounding diffuse and indistinct, and what seemed languid and nuanced now seems hesitatingly uncertain. Comparing La Plaintive, Baumont is actually fractionally slower, but his fluid playing gives the impression of speed without sacrificing poignancy.
BTW, has Naxos completely stopped releasing SACD's?
Naxos announced that they were not releasing more SACDs a few years ago. I believe it was shortly after the release of the Chants d'Auvergne by Veronique Gens. The first volume is available as a hybrid but the second volume more recently released is only available in stereo.
For some mysterious reason harpsichord music does very bad in ripped sound - my clips where in 320kbps/ 48,000 kHz.
Hope you'll enjoy the Baumont.
320kbps certainly explains the clarity, resonance and depth missing in the jpc samples. Even Amazon downloads are only 256kbps, I think. Baumont's playing has certainly grown on me, and I've been thinking of getting his Chambonnieres integral, possibly through Amazon downloads. I've also begun to appreciate his Couperin more, his somewhat Rococo approach giving a different dimension to the music. Hope to add the Dandrieu soon. Thanks again, Que.
This basically instigated the Baroque avalanche that swept me away last year, via the 3rd Leçons de ténèbres, which recording by Sophie Daneman, Patricia Petibon, William Christie and Les Arts Florissants was included in that amazing box of golden treasure called 200 Years of music at Versailles. Hearing the third Leçons made me anxious to discover the first and third, and so I bought this disc.
The highlight remains the third, for me - where they sing together, those lovely voices entwining around each other. Beautiful though the first and second are, they don't quite reach those heights, I think.
After that, there was no stopping me. These two, Daneman and Petibon, became my keys to the Baroque doors, I suppose, and after that I just hunted around for anything they'd done in this line - a process which has continued and broadened in scope up to now.

I got contacted by Jed Schmidt, who was responsible for the US Mobile Shop of Uniqlo in 2015. He was looking for someone with an eye for design and developer skills for a complete revamp of the online experience for the mobile customers.

The goal was to improve the conversion rate as well as customer happiness by having a fast, feature-rich and unique experience while shopping on a mobile device. Fast response times and a quick checkout were key to success.
There were quite some circumstances that made this project especially interesting and challenging. I had no experience with online retailers nor shops in general, so I had quite some pressure on me. I began by studying the current online experience and reviewing other retailers to get a feeling for the all-around shopping experience on a mobile device. Most of them were just slow and just didn't feel smooth enough. I wanted to make it better.
Jed had a lot of faith and trust in me at the design. I gave daily updates on my progress so I wouldn't waste precious time and money. The first MVP was pretty lean and not the richest one on features, focus were the products and how they were presented to the user as well as navigation.
Fortunately for me, there was a kind-of-styleguide already, so I followed that one as much as I could, but some things just weren't set in stone, so I went with what I thought looks and feels great. Given the freedom I had in general, I was quite pleased with the result, and so was my client.
I only had one requirement on the development part: ReactJS. Around that time I've been playing around with React a little, but nothing that had been used by thousands of users daily, which was the case here. Switching from Angular to React was quite the challenge as well because of the different paradigm and the missing controller/model logic that AngularJS offers right out-of-the-box.
Since Redux/MobX wasn't invented at that time, I went with my own little state management system. Fortunately though, I somehow ended up writing my own little flux implementation without knowing it, which made it quite easy to transition to Redux later on.
