Will Apple do a Foldable iPhone or are we expecting too much
Bharat Bhushan - Nov 22, 2020, 5:02am CST
If you stand on the street for a random survey – should Apple launch a foldable iPhone – you'll return with replies in the affirmative more often than expected. The foldable phone market has matured since the niggly launches of Samsung's first foldable and the Motorola Razr. Phones unveiled in 2020 have less fragile displays, bendable screens do not cringe, hinges are better sealed against dust and water, and the handsets are working their way up to be as durable as our regular smartphones.
Samsung is definitely leading the pack with foldable smartphones that either flip open or unfold like a book to offer tablet-like display in phone form factor. Koreans along with the other companies – Motorola, Huawei and others experimenting with the possibility – are understanding the fact that a phone that folds must do so for a purpose, delivering folding phones just because they are in trend is not enough.
Apple is watching all this transformation happen from the sidelines. There have been hints of Apple toying around with the possibility of its own foldable phone but nothing substantial has ever made to the mainframe. Apple has filed a few patent applications and numerous mockups of what a foldable iPhone could look like have crowded the tech space; yet we are awaiting a folding iPhone, which if latest reports are anything to go by, is not going to come to fruition before September of 2022.
The First Apple patent for a phone that folds was seen in 2016. A year later, there was some more movement backed by a number of intriguing patents since but the Cupertino giant has been utterly secretive about the progress it has made in all these years. It has been carefully weighing its options, while OEMs toil and mend issues creeping up in their devices.
Folding phone technology is inching closer to a full proof state where bigger issues like durability and battery life are resolved and people can use these folding devices as their daily driver. Getting a foldable phone with the level of Apple's bend for design and precision sure sounds exciting. Apple has this knack of delivering products whose designs influence the industry – as in the case of iPods, iPads, and undoubtedly since the release of the first iPhone in 2007.
Only a countable number of foldable phones have been widely released, and companies are still fine-tuning their offerings to gel with the consumers' demand. In such a scenario; Apple, which can be ridiculed for chasing other monikers from two blocks behind has an open ground in front of it. A device with a level of Apple's polish will make a niche for itself – given that Apple has done its share of R&D to cook up the ideal recipe for a folding phone.
Unapologetically, Apple has considered taking time before releasing its own devices, especially so in case of adopting new technologies for the iPhone for instance the face unlocking or wireless charging. It is not surprising then that a foldable iPhone – flip or fold, whatever it would be called – wasn't rolled out with the iPhone 12 line-up this year, nor is there a possibility of seeing it with the iPhone 13 next year – but it's inevitable.
Motorola, Huawei, and Samsung have different styles of folding phones already on the market. Apple has in addition proposed a foldable phone – via patent application – featuring hinges that can fold in half or in thirds. The patent doesn't clearly state that this technology is for use in a phone – but it says "it would be desirable for use in flexible displays" – easy to guess what Apple is hinting at.
Apple had also proposed a different spin to the foldable phones with self-healing skins for such devices. LG introduced the concept of a self-healing rear cover, which can repair minor abrasions on its own, in a very nascent stage in its G Flex phablet, but the technology never really took off. Apple's application is no indication that it is working on a foldable phone with a 'self-healing elastomer' body, but if it does, there is no looking back.
These are all possibilities – let's just cut the chase and understand what is really on the cards. What Apple is actually doing to ensure we are not just expecting too much in terms of a folding iPhone. Reportedly, the concept of a folding iPhone is ultimately grown beyond the drawing board and is making it to testing.
According to a Taiwanese media outlet that cited supply chain sources, Apple has actively begun testing the possibility of a folding phone with flexible panels from Samsung and bearings manufactured by various suppliers. The assembly will be handled by Hon Hai that trades as Foxconn and is Apple's long-term assembly partner. If all goes as planned, the report claims Apple will launch its first foldable iPhone in September 2022.
Apple is allegedly setting new quality standards – the folding iPhone is going to go through 100,000 folds in the initial testing. Laptops generally are opened and closed about 30,000 times in durability tests before the official launch. In case of phones, more repetitions are necessary because they are going to be opened and closed more frequently than laptops. Samsung for instance tested the Galaxy Fold over 200,000 times, a similar benchmark was followed by LG Wing. Apple would have benchmarks pushed by the time the device is actually ready for the market.
As we have come to realize, Apple wants to make the most refined version of the foldable phone and arrive in the market with a product that has minimum glitches at launch. For Apple fanboys the wait up to 2022 may seem very long and painful, considering so many Android foldables are waiting to spout in the interim, but the odds add up to one fruitful wait in the making.

You had me at "swashbuckling pirates!" To celebrate the release of The Reader, I've put together a list of books I couldn't live without – and hopefully will never have to. Check out the list below, and keep reading to enter a giveaway to win a copy of The Reader (and more)!
Disclaimer: This list focuses on young adult books, because they're my favorite, and because YA is, as a general rule, HOPEFUL – and hope is also something I couldn't live without.
For me, this is the book equivalent of the the world's coziest sweater. I think I have read this book at least once a year since it was released – it's the perfect remedy to a reading rut or a string of bad days. It never fails to make me smile, and I love living vicariously through Anna as she goes off on her Parisian adventures.
If Anna is a cozy sweater, Amy & Roger are a soft t-shirt. I love a good road trip story, and Amy & Roger do their road trip up RIGHT. In addition to the lovely story of overcoming grief and letting yourself off the hook, this book also includes just the right amount of novelty, in the form of photos, receipts and playlists courtesy of Amy's travel journal.
I'm cheating a little with this one because I'm using the first book in The Raven Cycle series to represent the whole thing – so sue me! It's a fantastic, ambient series that is different from anything else I've ever read both tonally and thematically. There's a little something for everyone here, and it's impossible to read this series without feeling like Blue and her Raven Boys are your new BFFs.
Really this could say "Most books by Jenny Han," but Lara Jean from To All The Boys is my favorite Han heroine. Jenny Han gets me. She (and her characters) appreciate a cute outfit, a delicious baked good, and the chance to avoid awkward social situations. Han's portrayal of teenagers is so much closer to my own teenage experience than I usually see in fiction, so I revel in seeing characters like Lara Jean learn life lessons and bag cute boys.
As a single book, The Diviners packs in more than I thought possible. A massive amount of characters and perspectives. An accurate and alluring historical portrayal of prohibition-era New York. X-Men-esque powers, with a more sinister spin. The most hateable yet likeable main character I've ever encountered. Amazing '20s slang. Serial killers. Commentary on class and race and fantastic representation of the spectrum of both. Eugenics. A hint of steampunk. And yet, it all comes together into a fantastic spectacle that Bray weaves together seamlessly.
I love Rainbow Rowell as a general rule, but Fangirl is my bread and butter. And once again, it's largely because of oh-so-relatable main character Cath. She's extremely shy and socially awkward, but she's smart and funny and obsessed with Simon Snow – I think we can all relate to being a fangirl about something! Rowell really does Cath and her fanfic world justice while telling a lovely coming-of-age story.
What books could you not live without? Let us know in the comments! While you wait for The Reader to hit shelves on September 13th, you can read an excerpt of the first two chapters of The Reader, and don't forget to enter below to win a super cool The Reader prize pack.
Giveaway open to US addresses only. Prizing and samples provided by Penguin Random House.

Twilight Time Movies – 'Zelig' (1983)
18 March 2018 Nick Clement Film 0
❉ The latest in our occasional series of reviews of Twilight Time Movies classic Blu-ray and DVD titles.
Yet another fabulous Twilight Time Blu-ray release, Woody Allen's Zelig is one of the most aesthetically heightened films of the master filmmaker's career, and boldly shot by legendary cinematographer Gordon Willis (The Godfather, The Parallax View), who previously wasn't used to this sort of stylistic affectations. Zelig is a brilliant comedy, and it's the film that would mark the first time that Willis would receive an Oscar nomination for his visual compositions. Simply put, this film is a cinematographer's dream come true, as the narrative offered up nearly every artistic chance for a technician to feel truly unleashed.
In conjunction with Allen's clever screenplay and his many other collaborators, Willis' highly inventive work on this film effortlessly combined various film-aging techniques, blue-screen shooting, and old-fashioned stills photography, all of it done in an effort to credibly place the film's main character, played by Allen, into a virtual archive of popular images from 20th century events. It's also a romance, a social drama, a satire, and a deconstruction of the artistic form, and in a very casual way, it resembles a more challenging and abstract Forrest Gump scenario without the modern computer-assisted trickery and overt sentimentality.
Mia Farrow co-starred, with Allen playing Leonard Zelig, a shell of a man who is so desperate to be liked and to fit in with society, that he begins to exhibit the personalities of those around him. Released in 1983 and shot and narrated in the style of 1920's black-and-white newsreels which were then intertwined with archival footage and re-enactments from real historical events, the filmmakers also included color segments from the present day.
The list of real-life subjects who figure into the film is insane to contemplate, with vintage footage showcasing Charles Lindbergh, Al Capone, Clara Bow, William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies, Charlie Chaplin, Josephine Baker, Fanny Brice, Carole Lombard, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, James Cagney, Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Tom Mix, Pope Pius XI, and many others. And keep in mind, this was years before computers and CGI would make these technical endeavors easier and more readily seamless, so it's even more impressive in retrospect to see what Allen and his team were able to create in this hilarious, touching, and extremely unique mockumentary that feels like one of Woody's more under-discussed efforts on his endlessly fascinating filmography.
Rounding out the cast are Garrett Brown, Stephanie Farrow, Will Holt, Mary Louise Wilson, and Michael Jeter. Garrett Brown, Stephanie Farrow, Will Holt, Mary Louise Wilson, and Michael Jeter, while Dick Hyman's playful and comic musical score enlivens the atmosphere. Apparently, in the time it took to complete the film's special effects, Allen was able to film two other features: A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy, and Broadway Danny Rose. Notably, Zelig also stands as the final release from Orion Pictures that was distributed by Warner Brothers until 2017.
As per usual, the digital artisans at Twilight Time have crafted an impeccable looking region-free Blu-ray release, which is of course limited to 3,000 units. The black and white imagery is stark, silky, and very smooth looking, with bright whites and deep blacks, while the color segments pop in the manner which you'd expect. Video is presented in 1080p High Definition in the film's original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Sound offerings include English 1.0 DTS-HD MA and German 1.0 DTS-HD MA. Special features include an Isolated Score Track and the film's Original Theatrical Trailer.
❉ Twilight Time Movies release classic catalogue Blu-ray and DVD titles available for a limited time, exclusively in limited runs of 3000 copies. For more information, visit https://www.twilighttimemovies.com

List of notaries
Remote authentication and facial recognition
Chamber of Notaries
e-Notar self-service
Home » Teabekeskus » Remote authentication and facial recognition
Remote authentication enables the conduct of notarial acts via a video bridge created between the notary and the customer. Such authentication is equivalent to authentication at a notary's office.
Remote authentication is an opportunity, not an obligation. It is up to the notary to decide, whether a specific transaction can be carried out by using remote authentication.
Subject to agreement with a notary, transactions using remote authentication can be carried out either at a place suited for the customer (e.g. at home) or at an Estonian embassy.
Outside embassies remote authentication can be used to perform all notarial acts, except certification of contraction of marriage and divorce.
At Estonian embassies remote authentication can be used for carrying out transactions with shares of a private limited company, authenticating powers of attorney, submitting applications for marriage and divorce and applications related to succession. Deletion and transfer of real rights and commercial pledges is also possible. Acts using remote authentication can be conducted in five Estonian embassies – Helsinki, Stockholm, Brussels, Riga and London.
In order to conduct an act by using remote authentication and be given the relevant advice, one should first contact a notary's office. The contact data of all notaries can be found at www.notar.ee/et/notarid/nimekiri. One can also carry out the required act via the self-service portal of the Chamber of Notaries at iseteenindus.notar.ee (EE). A Republic of Estonia ID card, digital ID, mobile ID or an e-Resident's digital ID can be used to log in to the portal and to sign documents to be authenticated.
If the intention is to carry out the act by using remote authentication in an Estonian embassy, one of the five embassies can be selected in the self-service portal, by also indicating the desired dates. Based on the data submitted in the application the self-service portal proposes the available times that suit both the notary and the embassy. The times are proposed in accordance with the time zone in which the embassy is located.
Once the time for remote authentication has been set, these steps follow:
24 hours before the scheduled beginning of the transaction to be conducted by remote authentication, the message "The time of conducting a transaction via remote authentication is approaching" is displayed in the section "My transactions".
Before starting to conduct the transaction, the user can confirm their readiness for remote authentication by clicking on the option "I confirm that I am ready for remote authentication" (This option becomes available about 15 minutes before the scheduled beginning of the transaction).
In order to carry out a transaction using remote authentication at an embassy, the party has to go to the embassy, where the relevant official ascertains the identity of the party. Thereafter the party can use the embassy computer to log in to the self-service portal.
Upon logging in to the self-service portal, the user can examine the transactions they have under way.
At the time agreed with the customer the notary launches the transaction via video bridge. The notary explains the transaction to be authenticated via the video call, the parties can communicate with the notary and ask questions.
During conducting an act via the video bridge, the parties should be aware of the following:
In order to examine the data of the act, the notary displays the document on the screen, which can then be studied.
After the document has been examined, the notary makes it available for the parties so that they can sign it.
The document can be signed only in the environment for remote authentication; to do so, the parties must click on the option "Sign" and then add their signature.
After the document has been signed by all parties, the notary signs the document as well, thus bringing the process of remote authentication to an end and the document becomes available for the parties via the self-service portal.
The notary fee for conducting an act by using remote authentication is 24 euros (includes VAT).
The following file contains detailed instructions on how to use remote authentication to conduct acts:
Customer Guidelines for Remote Authentication (PDF)
The Veriff Facial Recognition Programme is used to identify parties conducting notarial acts using remote authentication.
About 15 minutes before the scheduled time of the transaction, when the customer logs in to the self-service portal, they can confirm their readiness for remote authentication by clicking on the option "I confirm that I am ready for remote authentication". This is followed by the option "COMMENCE FACIAL RECOGNITION". A click on this message refers the user to the Veriff web page.
The Veriff web page is displayed in the language that the customer used in the self-service portal, but the language can be changed, if need be. Thereafter facial recognition can start.
First, the customer has to choose the state issuing the identity document (Estonia) and the type of the identity document to be used as a basis for facial recognition. After selecting the type of document, the customer has to follow the instructions of the programme and make photos by using a web camera. The original of the document must be presented for the purposes of facial recognition, printed copies or photos of the document are not allowed.
NB! If the customer has logged in to the self-service portal by using an ID card, it can be removed from the card reader for the duration of facial recognition and used as the document for identification purposes.
Once all the necessary steps have been taken, the programme notifies the customer of the commencement of verification. Then the customer is referred back to the self-service portal to wait for the results of facial recognition. While waiting, the customer may not leave the self-service portal, otherwise the facial recognition process is terminated. Should facial recognition fail, the reason is displayed and by clicking on the option "COMMENCE FACIAL RECOGNITION", the process can be repeated. Upon successful facial recognition the information is sent to the notary and remote authentication can commence.
Which web browser should be used for the self-service portal?
The following web browsers support the self-service portal, provided that the ID card software has been installed and its use permitted: Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge, (Internet Explorer and Safari cannot be used).
Which devices can be used for conducting transactions with remote authentication?
It is possible to use a desktop or laptop computer equipped with a web camera, with the microphone and sound functions switched on.
What kind of internet connection is needed for participating in a transaction with remote authentication?
In order to create a stable internet connection for carrying out a transaction with remote authentication, a cable internet connection speed of 30Mbit/s and uploading speed of 15Mbit/s is required. If remote authentication is carried out via video bridge, the computer should not be in a network protected by a firewall; the remote authentication video server at irbis.rik.ee (213.184.54.164) requires connectivity over the TCP and UDP port range of 1024 to 65535 in both directions.
What if it is not possible to create a video bridge upon remote authentication?
If the video bridge fails (the video image is black), you should try refreshing the web browser by clicking the "Refresh" button on the screen or pressing F5 on the keyboard. If there is no sound or your own video image is not visible, you should check the settings of the web browser to see if access to the microphone and camera is allowed. The privacy settings of the operating system ought to be checked as well to make sure that the applications have been granted permission to use them.
How is a contract signed in a transaction with remote authentication?
In order to sign a contract, the "Sign" button must be clicked in the self-service portal. The contract can be signed by using the Estonian ID card, digital ID, mobile ID, Residence permit card or an e-Resident's digital ID. The ID card plugin must be installed in the web browser in order to use the ID card for signing.
How to install or enable the ID card plugin:

Q: Comparison between Twitter Bootstrap Gems for Rails What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of the different gems providing Twitter Bootstrap's functionality to Rails? As of the time of writing this question, The Ruby Toolbox lists the following projects:

*

*twitter-bootstrap-rails

*bootstrap-sass

*bootstrap_form

*less-rails-bootstrap

*anjlab-bootstrap-rails

*compass_twitter_bootstrap

*bootstrapped-rails

*bootstrap-sass-rails

*bootstrap-generators

*css-bootstrap-rails

*twitter-bootstrap-markup-rails

*fennec

*bootstrap-rails

*compass-bootstrap

*bootstrapped
And even some others providing partial functionality (e.g. generating forms). How do these gems differ?
P.S. If appropriate, please write about each gem in a separate answer, so that each one can be voted for.

A: I use anjlab-bootstrap-rails.

*

*It has these benefits: Its development is very active.

*They released the 3rd version recently which includes the latest twitter bootstrap 3.

*It also works with rails4.

*One important aspect of bootstrap3 was that the icons were migrated from .png to font files which is great.

In general I am pleased with it.

A: I've tried the anjlab-bootstrap-rails, because I've wanted to start a new prototype project with Bootstrap 3.0 RC1 and Rails 4.
I had some issues with turbolinks and the bootstrap javascript not working for dropdown component, used in the navbar.
After some search and some debugging, I could make it work moving the javascript include tag to head section of the html layout page.
A plus for this gem, is that it doesn't include the icons and you can choose any set you wish, like glyphicons or awesome-font, for example.

A: The gems use various ways of getting twitter bootstrap into your Rails app.
Quoted from an excellent blog post on the topic, Twitter Bootstrap, Less, and Sass: Understanding Your Options for Rails 3.1:

*

*Using the original Less code via a Rails engine (less-rails-bootstrap or twitter-bootstrap-rails)

*Copying in translated Sass code directly into your application (sass-twitter-bootstrap), or

*Using a translated Sass version via a Rails engine (bootstrap-sass or bootstrap-rails).

Deciding which kind of approach you feel best about, will help you decide what gem to use.

Pazhassi Raja
If you're a true-blue Malayali, you have to be in one of two camps - the Mammootty camp or the Mohanlal camp. A minority might have sprung up recently claiming to like Dileep/Jayaram/Prithviraj, but I discount them. The Mammootty versus Mohanlal debate is too deeply entrenched in the blood of every Malayali.
Me, I'm a Mammootty fan through and through. I might like some of Mohanlal's earlier movies, but Mammootty has so much style, so much panache. I remember the exact moment I gave my heart to him. Anybody remember the movie The King? It featured Mammootty in the role of a dashing, rebellious District Collector, seemingly fighting all the crooked politicians on his own. Saying that it was not one of his best roles would be the understatement of the millennium. But "Wow!" thought my impressionable eight-year-old mind, and promptly surrendered itself.
And so, a decade and a half later, we come to Pazhassi Raja. I am no history buff, let me warn you at the outset - especially when it comes to Kerala. Before the movie was released, if you had asked me who Pazhassi Raja was, I would have probably guessed that he was a Tamil king from the seventh or eighth century. Obviously, I wouldn't have known that his real name was Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja. Yup, that's how far my knowledge of history goes.
I went for Pazhassi Raja for three reasons. One, that it featured Mammootty, of course. That too, in a role that reminded me of Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha. (By the way, check out the two screenshots below. Almost wenty years between the two movies, but what has changed? Even the user ratings are the same!)
Secondly, because it seemed to offer a treat for the eyes, set as it is in Wayanad, in my opinion THE most beautiful region in Kerala. And thirdly, well - it's a must-watch for every Malayali this year, isn't it?
Trust me, Pazhassi Raja doesn't disappoint on any count. The movie offers everything - political intrigue, mesmerizing battles, an excellent cast, enough history for those interested. And yet it leaves you thirsting for more, wanting to find out more about this incredible man, the 'Lion of Kerala'. Mammootty holds back on the glamour and gives a restrained performance that is well worth applauding - especially in the later scenes in which Pazhassi is holed up in a makeshift camp in the mountains of Wayanad, injured and apparently losing the battle with the British.
But what I liked most was the fact that the film does not belong to Mammootty or Pazhassi Raja in any way. The entire cast pulls out incredible performances - especially Sarath Kumar as Edachena Kunkan Nair, the Commander of Pazhassi's armies. The last fight scene he features in and the aftermath - I had goosebumps, I tell you. I also liked Padmapriya's performance as Neeli, the gutsy leader of the Adivasi women fighting for Pazhassi Raja.
The battle scenes are to die for, no pun intended. Well, you can't call them battle scenes because Pazhassi seemed to believe in oliporu - I guess that would translate best as guerilla warfare. So you have the red-coats trotting complacently through the lush green forests of Wayanad, only to be beset from all sides by well-camouflaged Adivasis. Later on, there is also the excellently-shot pre-dawn storming of a fort, and the final battle on a hill-top. A few gruesome hangings also happen along the way.
A minor point is the length - at 200 minutes, it's easily the longest movie I've seen recently. But it is so good visually that there are very few scenes that I would want cut. I also found it strange that there were no Malayalam sub-titles for the English dialogue. Granted 100% literacy and all that, but are all Malayalis expected to be so well-versed with English as to understand British accents?
Oh, and I can't end without a note on the audience. They cheered everything, starting with the 'Special thanks to Mohanlal' legend to the first appearance of Mammootty (the two camps do have a few overlaps, please note) to the hanging of a British officer. It's so true that you may take a Malayali out of Kerala, but not Kerala out of a Malayali. No, not even at a 200-rupee-a-head screening at PVR at 8:30 PM. But Nikhil, with whom I watched the movie, was disappointed - he said the comments were much better at the eleven o'clock show at New Theatre in Trivandrum, where he watched the movie last Saturday. I suspect it was more about the show timings than anything else.
By the way, if you want to know more about the historical setting, you can read Nikhil's review of Pazhassi Raja here.

jade, watched the movie today....the effort does deserve credit but certain things were overlooked. Complete absence of care with regard to the possible adivasi slang that might have existed almost 200 years ago(the conversation between mooppan and chandu at the temple was pretty much modern sounding); the casting of the adivasi force (warriors) with hardly any kurichya warrior; the deviation of the account of last moments of Pazhassi Raja from the documented reports (authored by Thomas Baber in 1805). The place of the last battle on the hill contradicts the document which tells about the finding of his body in the banks of nulla near mavilathodu. What got into my nerves was the smiling lady who accompanied the lady of the king to the battle field just after his death. Lack of proper research and proper care in understanding the historical setting makes the movie "a commercial ended historical fiction". A person getting out of the theatre would take out the spirit of the legend for sure, but no real history.

@vijeesh vijayan
Chipping in.
Regarding absence of Adivasi language:
Padmapriya spoke in a mixed up language, an effort to make it sound closer to the dialect(?) spoken by the tribals. Had MT done enough research and recreated the dialogues to that accuracy, how many of us would have understood without subtitles?
On PR's end: Baber's and later Logan's records mention that PR was shot. The dialogue where PR says Kanara Menon not to touch and defile is something almost similar to Baber's records.
Not sure of the place of the last battle.
PR was technically brilliant war documentary with noteworthy performances by most actors, with a script trudging on a facts-only path, promising not to move into fiction or add a cinematic twist.
-Nikhil
vijeesh vijayan said...
Nikhil, you did have an answer to what should have been done about the treatment of adivasi dialect....SUBTITLES.... Unfortunately subtitles weren't included even for the english conversations. I couldn't help comparing it with the approaches of the movies like "Apocalypto"(Directed by MelGibson) or "The quest for fire" where you had tribes communicating in a way that was foreign to us, nevertheless was made comprehensible by the use of subtitles. "Kalaapaani" did make use of subtitles effectively. Well, i guess padmapriya was let to do her dubbing herself (her mothertongue not being malayalam!!!!) And wasn't there a bit of cinematic twist about the way the movie ended???? Veera pazhassi with a few soldiers approaches the hill top,.. the company soldiers halt at their sight... both parties are determined to fight eachother but deliberately spend time about evaluating the situation and exchanging conversation....the order not to shoot followed by the sword fight.... and finally PR is shot at even before any orders were made and that too when PR was sufficiently away from Baber, their commander. Perhaps Baber himself tells about an unsuspecting PR and his men being surrounded and about he being killed in the fight that followed.

I was about to call it a day after being an unfortunate victim of all those mammooty-mohanlal fan fights:/
Your effort is appreciated but I tend to disagree with some of the facts.
If you feel yourself burdened by the hype created by this movie, I recommend a great theater review penned down with a pinch of humour. Check it out here…nice read …

The guy talks in a very similar tone as yours but 2 differences - shades of humour ( that's make this review diff from the rest i have to say) and yes - definitely a balanced overview...

Her first online publication was a poem entitled "Safe," published in 2008.
Since they see things purely from their own perspective, children's language also reflects their "egocentrism," whereby they attribute phenomena with the same feelings and intentions as their own.
Her articles specialize in animals, handcrafts and sustainable living. Fernchild has a Bachelor of Science in education and a Master of Arts in library science.
Child language tends to be direct and concrete.
Socialized Speech Socialized speech involves more of a give-and-take between people.
The children were in an open-classroom setting, and adults transcribed their speech, then listed it in numbered sentences for analysis. The observers noted that in many cases, the children expressed out loud what they were doing, with little need for a response from their companions. In fact, they might not respond to a change of subject from someone else.
They believed that the children's conversation could be divided into two categories: Video of the Day Egocentric speech Egocentric speech can be repetitive phrases, similar to echolalia, or repetitions of phrases, heard in toddler speech, or it can be a monologue of ideas that requires no listener. A child age 5 to 7 might be heard describing what his toys are doing. Piaget noted that this verbalization is similar to the way people who live alone might verbalize their activities.
According to an article at Psych Central, talking to yourself as a sign of sanity -- it helps you make decisions. Modern psychology texts describe the behavior Piaget observed as parallel play.
The Child Development Institute places this behavior as being normal for children ages 3 through late kindergarten. Socialized Speech Socialized speech involves more of a give-and-take between people.
He felt that the children were not seeking an actual explanation when they asked ritualistic questions, such as "Why?
Her articles specialize in animals, handcrafts and sustainable living.
In "The Language and Thought of the Child," Piaget stated that early language denotes cries of desire. He mentions the word "mama" as coming from a labial motion having to do with sucking. He attributed his information to Sabina Spielrein, who was the first patient of Carl Jung, the father of analytical psychology.
Further Analysis Piaget stated in his notes that only about 14 percent of the children's conversation was interactive responses to each other. However, he also noted that before attending school, the children involved in the study had not been accustomed to other children.
Piaget placed questions in a special category of conversation. He felt that the children were not seeking an actual explanation when they asked ritualistic questions, such as "Why?
Conclusions In the final chapter of "The Language and Thought of the Child," Piaget summed up his study by saying he believed that adults should understand that children are far more egocentric than adults, and that they interact differently even when behaving socially.
He added that adults should not expect young children to form social groups, but should expect a gathering of children to be very noisy because the youngsters would all be talking at once.
He stated that even when an adult is engaged in an individual pursuit, he still thinks socially. Whereas a child, even when engaged in what appears to be a social activity, still functions individually.

Conor McGregor could be immortalised as one of the most important figures in Ireland's recent history.
The fighting Irishman became the undisputed UFC featherweight champion when he blitzed Jose Aldo inside 13 seconds last year, becoming the biggest athlete in Ireland (and, arguably, the rest of the world) right now.
To honour his achievement in becoming Ireland's first fighter to hold a UFC title, a petition was launched on December 15th to make McGregor the new face of a €1 coin, which is the type of commendation usually reserved for politicians, poets and the types of public figures that don't resonate in 2016.
Here's what McGregor's €1 coin might look like.
The petition has proved so popular that it's made its way to The Oireachtas Public Petitions Committee, which will debate the motion this week.
Conor McGregor is firmly behind the idea.
Other things on the agenda will be banning Donald Trump from Ireland. Good ideas all round, from the looks of it.

7 rare Ty Cobb baseball cards are a $1 million find
Published: March 3, 2016 at 1:09 p.m. ET
Silvia Ascarelli
T206 Ty Cobb cards found in a torn paper bag
www.psacard.com
Talk about a find inside a torn paper bag: Seven cards from American Tobacco Company printed nearly a century ago that feature baseball great Ty Cobb.
The cards are so rare that previously only 15 were known to exist. This find could be worth more than $1 million, according to Joe Orlando, the president of California-based Professional Sports Authenticator, the company that has verified the find.
The family that found the cards was sorting through their great-grandparents' possessions, Orlando wrote on the PSA website. One of them decided to look through a torn paper bag and found post cards, other paper products — and the cards.
The family, which hasn't been identified, doesn't know much about baseball cards, he wrote. Members, however, did recognize Ty Cobb's name. They showed the cards to a regional dealer, who then approached PSA.
Cobb is a Hall-of-Famer who played primarily for the Detroit Tigers and is considered one of the game's greatest players. He still holds the record for career batting average, although he lost his claim to the all-time hits leader to Pete Rose in 1985.
The Ty Cobb cards, known as T206 Ty Cobb, are even rarer than the T206 Honus Wagner card that gets even more attention, Orlando wrote.
One of those Honus Wagner cards sold in 2013 for $2.1 million.
Here's how Orlando sums up the find on the PSA website:
"It takes something truly special to make me feel like a kid again, but this was one of those moments. This is what the hobby is all about. Even though we live in the information age, the Internet age, undiscovered treasure is still buried out there. There is no question that these types of finds are few and far between. They are becoming more and more uncommon as time goes on, but until every attic is searched and every old box or bag examined, these finds represent the hope that all collectors dream about."

This exhibition is a mid-career retrospective of influential Chicago Imagist, Barbara Rossi. Rossi first began exhibiting in 1969 when the Chicago Imagists were on the verge of national and international recognition. Rossi's meticulously rendered drawings and cartoonish paintings played an integral part in those seminal exhibitions. While many of the founding Imagists have faded from the public eye, the continued excellence of artists such as Rossi has ensured Imagism's role as the dominant influence on Chicago art in the past two decades, and its significant contribution to contemporary art throughout the country.


I hear that today is Mother's Day and as a son, I should be doing something special for my mother. That is the yearly ritual, right? As if I don't appreciate my mom the other 364 days of the year, today I am supposed to make sure I display it overtly so all can see. There are cards/e-cards and gift certificates flowing with customer stricken stores reveling in the new foot traffic.
Even though I have, with the assistance of my sis, purchased a gift for my mom, I thought I would honor her in a different way. Each and every week, except for today, it is Mother's Day afterall, she turns into my sous chef and assists with my grilled cheese sandwich creations. Every good chef must have an awesome sous chef, and in this case, she may be better than the "chef." Each week she cuts the thick, crusty bread as I sit there taking 50 pictures of one of our many ingredients. She uses her hands as oven mitts as mine stay far away from anything hot. She is my right hand man (or woman), assisting at every turn. Now don't get thinking that I just sit around and play photographer, I do actually do some cooking. However, if Miss Sous Chef was not around you would not be seeing the awesome grilled cheese sandwiches that I have created thus far. So please, join me in saying thank you and Happy Mother's Day, Sous Chef.
And oh yeah, my mom is the one who has cooked grilled cheese sandwiches for as long as I can remember. If it weren't for her, I would never have fallen in love with the grilled cheese sandwich and then this blog/site would not exist. How sad would that be?!

Imagine having your finger on the pulse of an entire city, in real time. To see its heartbeat—changes in people opinions and moods—as a cascade of color, sweeping over the terrain. Researchers at the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) used the explosion of data from Twitter to take snapshots of the mood of New York City, and follow its ups and downs in real time and high resolution.
They discovered that there are clear patterns in the fluctuations of Twitter users' feelings. On the whole, tweets are most positive near public parks like Central Park and the New York Botanical Garden, and most negative around transportation hubs such as the entrance to the Midtown Tunnel and the Brooklyn Bridge, Penn Station and Port Authority, and the two airports: JFK and LaGuardia.
People closer to Times Square are happiest and the mood generally worsens the further away you go. Within each day, sentiment peaks at midnight, and dips between 9am-12pm. The analysis was able to use precise data about the time and location of the tweets in order to create an accurate map and see fine grained patterns.
The report, "Sentiment in New York City: A High Resolution Spatial and Temporal View," by Karla Bertrand, Maya Bialik, Kawandeep Virdee, Andreas Gros and Yaneer Bar-Yam, created an algorithm to automatically classify tweets as positive or negative, and use their geotags and time information to paint a map. The algorithm started with emoticons like :) and :(, and by looking at other features of those tweets, learned to identify sentiment even in tweets that relied on words to express emotions.
Due to the great detail in the analysis, the researchers were able to locate specific areas of extreme sentiment such as cemeteries and medical centers. One area, Maspeth Creek, that has extremely negative tweets coming from it, they discovered has a foul smell not only because of the gaseous mudflats, but also because it is the site of the largest oil spill in the country and receives 288 million gallons of untreated sewage each year.
While previous reports have speculated on the effect of surroundings on people's quality of life, the new analysis shows very clearly that people are upset by an odorous creek, traffic, and trains, buses, and airplanes running late, and happiest in public parks.
"This is the first time we are able to easily and precisely map people's mood to their time and location" said Bar-Yam. "The possible uses of this tool are endless."


Board Chair Mary LaPorte writes about El Salvador's historic ban on metal mining, and Montana's own struggle with the toxic legacy of mining. Her letter was published in the Missoulian April 20, 2017.
An anti-mining banner at a community event in Ciudad Romero. Communities across El Salvador organized against mining for years; their efforts brought about the national ban on metal mining passed by the legislature in March 2017. Photo credit: Jeanne Muller.
Events outside our country offer hope and inspiration as our own rights to clean water are threatened.
On March 29, El Salvador's multi-party National Legislature stood up to enormous pressure from global mining corporations and passed the world's first comprehensive ban on metals mining, a toxic industry that threatens El Salvador's water supply.
Mining in El Salvador has grown recently. Farmers learned about the environmental havoc unleashed by toxic cyanide used in processing. In 2005 a massive campaign began to raise awareness of threats mining posed to rivers. El Salvador is the most densely populated country in Latin America. An estimated 90 percent of its surface waters is polluted by toxic chemicals, heavy metals and waste.
Here at home, President Trump signals that clean water is not a national priority, nor a concern of federal government. Proposed are drastic cuts to clean water funds, essentially reverting America's water protection measures back to pre-1970 standards. A 31 percent decrease in the 2018 Environmental Protection Agency budget will put tremendous pressure on state and local governments, and will thrust clean water obligations back to states where they will languish as in the past.
Issues surrounding mining and water are important to Montana.
Montana's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is charged with cleaning up abandoned mining sites. Its website lists 129 priority hard-rock mining sites with significant health and safety hazards – all lacking funding and cleanup plans. While tremendous needs remain for Montana's large mining sites, these very old mines still pollute water and land, and pose physical and environmental threats. Heavy metals found in tailings include arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and zinc. According to a DEQ report, mine discharges and streams near the sites are common. DEQ has a huge lack of funding now. How can it take on the work of federal agencies?
Meanwhile, some Montana legislators seek to overwhelm the DEQ and weaken protections for water and the environment for current and future mine permitting. Recently Sen. Chas Vincent of Libby proposed that the DEQ assume responsibility of the dredge-and-fill permitting program currently conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, despite costs of $1.6 million. Thankfully this bill has been tabled for now, but is likely to reappear in future sessions. Sen. Duane Ankney of Colstrip has authored Senate Bill 337, which would eliminate the Montana Board of Environmental Review, a body of volunteer technical experts that independently determines whether DEQ follows the law. This bill has passed the Montana Senate and is headed for a full vote in the House.

Whatever happened to architectural semiotics?
Posted by Richard Coyne ⋅ October 2, 2016 ⋅ 4 Comments
Filed Under architecture, biosemiotics, nature, Peirce, semiotics
Few would deny that architecture communicates, and in that sense is a language, or at least like a language. As pointed out by the philosopher and semiotician Umberto Eco architecture does something else as well: it functions. So a substantial tiled roof not only communicates protection from the elements, but functions to provide such protection.
Occasionally the two become uncoupled: the roof can be made to look very substantial from the street, but away from view it is made of aluminium sheeting with a different functionality. The communicative aspects of the design differ from the functional aspects.
The modernism of Walter Gropius, Mies Van der Rohe and others championed functional honesty. But many such architects produced buildings designed to look as though composed of light steel elements that concealed substantial fire-proof concrete clad frame elements set back from their facades. In any case, buildings often don't function as promised.
The "misuse" of terms such as "function" prompted architectural scholars in the 1970s to re-examine architecture as a language. According to a champions in this linguistic turn, Geoffrey Broadbent, "The misuse, by architects and critics, of words such as functionalism, is itself sufficient reason for looking more closely at the language they use; at the relationships between buildings, the concepts which are used in discussing them, and the words by which those concepts are defined" (124).
He pointed out a further difficulty for scholars in having to select from a range of different schools of linguistic analysis, that are not entirely compatible with one another. One approach drew from the linguist Ferdinand de Saussure and his followers. Another focussed on Charles Sanders Peirce, and a third would pursue Noam Chomsky's generative grammars.
(In fact, in his subsequent work, Broadbent veered to a critical engagement with Structuralism, derived from Saussure, which led in turn to Poststructuralism. Broadbent co-wrote a book published in 1991 on Deconstruction and the influence of Jacques Derrida.)
Verbal and architectural languages
What are the similarities between verbal and architectural languages? If we think of language in terms of words held together by grammatical rules to form phrases and clauses, which in turn go to make up larger linguistic units (sentences and paragraphs), and with sub units within the words themselves (phonemes, morphemes), then there are parallels with building elements and their subelements. The composition of such elements according to rules into well-formed buildings suited to program and context hints at the idea of a grammar.
Writing about the time of this linguistic turn Donald Preziosi pointed out the major difference in the "signing medium" (4) between verbal (i.e. spoken or written) language and architectural language. In the case of verbal language we are dealing with a medium that is "relatively homogeneous" (4). There are only so many letters and punctuation marks in English (for example), and a relatively limited range of basic elemental sounds. And after all we are dealing just with marks on paper or sounds in the air.
Architecture on the other hand, along with the rest of the physical environment deploys every material known to human kind in order to offer up its communicative potential: "architectonic signs are realized through what appears to be an impossibly complex hybrid of media" (4), involving "anything drawn from the entire set of material resources potentially offered by the planetary biosphere, including our own and other bodies" (4). Basic psychology in any case identifies verbal language ability with particular brain functions, if not regions of the brain. Engagement with the communicative aspects of space, place, and architecture would seem to involve a range of sensory modalities, perceptions, bodily actions, and interactions.
The linguistic burden on architecture is of a different order then to that of verbal language. One tactic to address this challenge is to subsume verbal language within some larger field of semiotic competence, of which verbal language, architectural languages, and anything else that we may wish to describe as a language, are a part.
Structuralism takes this step. For the anthropologist Claud Levi Strauss cultural linguistics involves taking whatever elements are to hand and putting them into certain relationships as part of a system of communication. So hunter-gatherer communities would use local animal species as a source of identification. So for some parts of the community it would be bears and eagles. But a community in a different location might self identify with lizards, swarms of wasps or the north wind. It's the relationships that provide the medium of communication, rather than the elements themselves.
According to Structuralism, any objects displaying significant differences, in the appropriate context, will suffice as linguistic elements. As Preziosi said, such "distinctions and disjunctions" are able to "cue the perception of similarities and differences in meaning" (5).
Semiotic successors
The title of this post questions what happened to architectural semiotics. Semiotics sought to present as a science, which for many meant a system with agreed categories (of relationships) and the ability to predict the characteristics of communities, their practices and architectures. In spite of various attempts to do so, I think the field foundered on the attempt to identify linguistic units able to be of use instrumentally in understanding or designing buildings.
Preziosi came up with such a schema, involving distinctive features, forms, templates, figures, cells, matrices and compounds, structures and settlements each organised within further categories and matched against verbal linguistic elements (67). In the 1980s, I amongst others, hoped to apply such categories in computer-aided design systems. The lack of instrumentality and the ambiguity and arbitrariness of semiotic categories easily gave way to digital data, and the more manipulable idea of parametric library elements.
Contrary to either of these positions, many architectural scholars, in the company of other cultural theorists, seized on the idea that language is a system of differences, articulated in the idea of the binary opposition. If bears and eagles can be deployed to indicate significant differences within hunter-gather communities, then so can bike sheds and cathedrals within architectural communities — or concepts such as function and ornament, or function and communication, form and meaning, places and non-places, text and space, or any number of engaging oppositions.
To identify such oppositions also raises questions about the nature of the relationships between such terms and whether and how one of them might be privileged above the other. The linguistic turn drifts inexorably into the ethical and the political, supported by Jacques Derrida's clever arguments that constitute the philosophy and architecture of Deconstruction.
Though not necessarily as amenable to instrumental manipulation as data-driven views about architecture, as I have argued elsewhere, Deconstruction and its variants have contributed to freeing up the design process, framing projects, enhancing critique, and not least providing vocabularies that keep people talking about architecture as rich, varied and even transgressive.
Other factors come into play in considering the drift from semiotics proper. Apart from the ascendancy of digital data, and in opposition to it, we have Phenomenology, which eschews the paraphernalia of instrumentalised linguistics. While elevating language as "the house of being," Martin Heidegger amongst others downplayed the primary status of the sign. Before there are linguistic units, i.e. before there is anything to read in the environment there is the experience of being in the world as an embodied being. Embodiment seems to win out over the esoteric entailments of semiotic discourse. See for example Jonathan Hale's new book, Merleau-Ponty for Architects.
Semiotic revival
I'm currently researching nature, and how biosemiotics rescues us from an obsession with digital data, at least in our relationship with nature, by showing that all things are caught up in networks of communication, even without human beings, other living organisms or technologies on the scene. It is interesting therefore to read Preziosi's recourse to basic biology and evolution in his account of the semiotic landscape.
He constructs a helpful narrative around the idea that verbal language, gesturing and tool use developed together. Such speculations inevitably draw on the idea of human beings in direct contact with the natural world, and in which everything has the potential to "be significant in some way" (28).
"as noisy, messy social mammals, a band of humans would inevitably leave semiotic droppings, metonymic marks and traces throughout its passage so that information is constantly being broadcast in all channels, subsuming dynamic, complex, composite signals of all kinds. As highly social primates, early humans would be constantly assessing not only the finely-graded behaviours of each other, but also the continual flux of environmental information. In short, everything must be treated as potential evidence for something; everything must be addressed with a question; everything has a story to tell: but it is equally necessary to know what to ignore as noise" (39).
Preziosi here emphasises the human, but later on in the same book says something similar about communication among non-human animals and environments.
The following Google ngram shows the relative rise in the term biosemiotics and the decline of architectural semiotics in Google's book corpus. Perhaps semiotics is due for a revival, though in a different guise.

Minister has message for singles: God doesn't forget lonely people
Christmas isn't warm hugs and giggles for everyone.
For those who spend the Yuletide alone, it's a lonely, much-dreaded month. News of suicide isn't uncommon to hear in the midst of the mirth.
'It's unfortunate,' said Jason Goings, assistant pastor of college and missions at First Baptist Church in Belton. 'Because when Christmas started, it wasn't like that. Christmas wasn't like the way we think it should be.'
Goings was addressing the church's singles group on Dec. 8 at Temple's Hilton Garden Inn. Two age groups, the single seniors and the single young professionals, had paired together for a holiday party.
His message was simple: 'Christmas is about the gift God gave to each one of us, His son Jesus Christ - whose presence is inside us all.'
But today's society, Goings said, has lost sight of that gift. Loneliness, he said, trumps the holiday spirit, busting it into nothing. He discussed the tragedy of December suicides to illustrate his point.
'Yes, Satan's done a marvelous thing in pulling the wool over our eyes,' Goings said. 'Somehow, the world has come to think that if there's not family, lots of plans, and lots of excitement, then there's not Christmas.'
That's a pure misconception, he said, not at all how the first Christmas happened.
'The first Christmas was when the world got the greatest gift of all,' Goings said. 'Think about how it happened.'
There was no fanfare, parade or prom.
'An angel came down and told the shepherds,' Goings said. 'And who were the shepherds? A bunch of guys who were single who hadn't shaved in four or five months.' Laughs came from the audience as Goings' emphasized the word, 'single.'
'They were single guys kicking at the dirt,' Goings said. 'They were doing their jobs when the angel came down.'
The angel also visited Mary, the Virgin Mother, an unwed, simple woman who lived the life of a peasant. Mary wasn't known throughout the land for her beauty, she wasn't a sought-after bride and she wasn't the center of attention.
Mary was chosen for her heart, Goings said.
'It was a lonely night when these people received the greatest news of their lives,' Goings said.
He implored his audience to remember that the next time they felt alone in sorrow.
'That first gift is the greatest gift. And it belongs to each of us,' he said. 'You didn't have to do anything to deserve it. You get it because you're loved.'
Sometimes it takes a bit of looking to find it, but it's there, he assured.
'Once you find it, hold onto it. And like any other good gift, use it, enjoy it, play with it. Tell your friends about it.'
And because it's of God, he said, that gift should be at the center of your life, not a routine item on a checklist.
'Let the wonderfulness of that gift feed into everything that you do,' Goings said. 'And like the shepherds and like Mary, life will go from lonely to full of purpose.'

Q: How to write an inline big string in F# In C# I can use:
string myBigString = @"

<someXmlForInstance>
  <someChild />
</someXmlForInstance>

";

How to do this in F#?

A: In F# 3.0, VS 2012, support was added for triple-quoted strings.

In a triple-quoted string, everything between triple-quotes ("""...""")
  is kept verbatim; there is no escaping at all.  As a result, if I want
  to have a bit of XAML as a string literal, it's easy:

let xaml = """
<StackPanel xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
            xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
            Name="mainPanel">
  <Border BorderThickness="15.0" BorderBrush="Black">
    <StackPanel Name="stackPanel1">
      <TextBlock Text="Super BreakAway!" FontSize="24" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
      <TextBlock Text="written in F#, by Brian McNamara - press 'p' to pause"
                 FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
      <Border BorderThickness="2.0" BorderBrush="Black">
        <Canvas Name="canvas" Background="White" />
      </Border>
    </StackPanel>
  </Border>
</StackPanel>"""

A:
If preceded by the @ symbol, the literal is a verbatim string. This means that any escape sequences are ignored, except that two quotation mark characters are interpreted as one quotation mark character.
Source: Strings (F#)

A: Try just :
let str1 = "abc
     def"
let str2 = "abc\
     def"

El ginjoler murcià (Ziziphus lotus) és un arbust caducifoli dins la família Rhamnaceae, originari de la regió mediterrània, incloent el Sàhara i el Marroc. Es troba a la Regió de Múrcia, i al País Valencià la seva presència no ha estat confirmada però és possible al Baix Segura. És dominant en alguns espinars del territori àrid murciano-almerià.

Descripció
Ziziphus lotus pot arribar a fer de 2 a 5 m d'alt amb les fulles d'uns 5 cm de llargada. És un arbust intricat molt espinós. Té els branquillons grisos i no pas verds com en el cas de Ziziphus jujuba. Les seves espines són estipulars. Les seves flors són grogues i menudes, d'uns 4 mm. El fruit és una drupa, d'1 a 1,5 cm de diàmetre, subglobosa groguenca i comestible. Produeix una sola llavor en forma d'os, llenyosa, amb solcs longitudinals. Els noms àrabs dels fruits són: nabk, sidr, rubeida, nbeg a Tunísia i annab al Líban.

Està estretament relacionat amb Ziziphus zizyphus (Jujube), i sovint es creu que és l'arbre del Lotus de la Mitologia grega.

Vida i reproducció
A l'hemisferi nord floreix a l'estiu (entre juny i juliol) i els fruits maduren a la tardor (entre setembre i octubre).

Usos
El fruit s'usa per a l'alimentació humana, com a fruita de taula, fresc o dessecat, preparat com a melmelada. A Tunísia, aquesta planta és coneguda amb el nom de sedra ('sidr'). La farmacologia defineix dos alcaloides, les lotusines A(1) i D(2), de propietats narcòtiques, com a principis actius d'aquest «lotus».

Taxonomia
Ziziphus lotus va ser descrita per (Carl von Linné) Lam. i publicat a Actes de la Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris 1788: 443, t. 21, l'any 1788.
Etimologia
Ziziphus: nom genèric que deriva, segons una font, del nom persa zizfum o zizafun, encara que la raó de la seva aplicació és desconeguda, i una altra font diu que ve de zizouf, el nom àrab de Ziziphus lotus, un arbre caducifoli arbustiu del Mediterrani. Plini el Vell aparentment utilitza el nom en llatí de Zizyphus per al ginjoler. Tanmateix prové del caràcter zigzaguejant de les seves branques.

lotus: epítet

Sinonímia
 Rhamnus lotus L.
